In the southeastern part of the Moonlight Empire, there were two towering mountains, connected by a mountain range called the Pulling Dream. Because it was close to the sea, even though it was already autumn, the climate was still warm. The leaves were a little yellow, but most of them were still green. The yellow leaves did not seem desolate at all. Instead, they became a star of light yellow in the vast green sea.
The mountain range was flat, and a few farmhouses were scattered at the foot of the mountain. In the evening, a few wisps of green smoke could be seen rising from the entire mountain range.
Ling Tian had been staying in one of the farmhouses for five days.
On that dark night five days ago, a flickering light had brought him to this farmhouse. He stood in front of the door for a long time, not knowing whether he should knock or not. He kept hesitating. He raised his hand several times and then put it down again.
He did not know what he wanted to do or what he wanted to do.
Suddenly, the door opened a crack, revealing a little girl's head. She stared at him with a pair of big, watery eyes and a shy expression." May I know who you're looking for?”
"I…" Ling Tian did not know how to reply.
"Come in first." The little girl opened half the door and let Ling Tian in. She then looked at the dark path in front of the house and saw that there was no one there. A disappointed expression appeared on her face before she closed the door.
"Grandfather, someone is here!"
"Who is it?" An aged voice rang out from within the room, followed by the sound of footsteps. With a " kuang zhi " sound, the narrow door was opened and a weak ray of light shone out, illuminating Ling Tian's entire body. After the duel, they had been chasing for a long time. Their clothes were covered in dust and their hair was messy.
"Child, come in and sit. It's cold outside at night.”To Ling Tian, the warmth and coldness were no longer important. However, the concern and sincerity of this kind old man made Ling Tian feel something in his heart. He couldn't tell exactly what it was, but he felt especially warm and heartwarming in his heart.
Now that he thought about it, he still had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
"Tian gege!" A crisp cry interrupted his thoughts. A 13 year old little girl carried a tree branch that she had just picked up and walked to Ling Tian's side. She placed the tree branch on the ground and patted the soil off her body before letting out a sigh of relief and sitting down beside Ling Tian.
Seeing that she had sat down, Ling Tian passed the water bottle over and looked at her gently.
" Hehe…" Starrain accepted the water and took a sip. After she finished drinking, she wiped her mouth." Tian 'ge, do you want to drink?”
Ling Tian shook his head, indicating that he was not thirsty.
Xingyu understood Ling Tian's reticence and did not say anything else. He tightened the lid and gently put the kettle aside. He placed his elbows on his knees and put his palms together. He held his chin and looked at the mountain peak in the distance.
"Tian gege, do you know why this place is called the Qianmeng Mountain Range?”
"Hmm?"
"Do you see those two mountains?"
"I saw it."
"I heard from my grandfather that a long time ago, this was a plain. There used to be a young man named Liu Tian who lived here. He was born with a beautiful voice and could sing many beautiful songs. He sang a song every day and tied a colorful ribbon to a big tree. Every evening, many birds would listen to him sing on this tree. One day, a beautiful bird appeared in the sky. It was colorful and dazzling.
After listening to Liu Tian's song, he flew into the sky with a colorful ribbon. After that, Tian Tian did the same thing. After listening to a song, she would take away a strap, and that Liu Tian would wear a strap every day. But one day, Liu Tian saw that the beautiful bird did not come.
It turned out that the bird was transformed from a beautiful angel named Mengyu. Unfortunately, there was another demon god who also fell in love with her. However, Angel Mengyu was moved by Liu Tian's singing and fell in love with him. The demon god locked her up in a fit of anger, and at the same time, mercilessly deprived Liu Tian of her voice.
From then on, Liu Tian's singing became a little immature and unpleasant to hear. It was getting worse by the day. Liu Tian lost his confidence and stopped singing or talking. He just tied a colorful ribbon to the tree every day. After a year, two years, or even ten years, the tree was completely covered by colorful ribbons, and the little bird actually flew over again.
When Liu Tian wanted to sing, he realized that his throat was broken and he could not make a sound. He was very anxious, very sad, very sad, and even a little desperate. The little bird was standing on the other side of the tree, looking at Liu Tian's painful expression. It actually shed tears. Two drops of crystal clear tears, driven by the wind, entered Liu Tian's lips and moistened his throat.
Miraculously, he actually made a sound again, and his voice was still as beautiful as before, and his singing was still as pleasant as ever. As he sang, the beautiful little bird turned into a beautiful angel. He stood there quietly, listening to Liu Tian's singing. One sang while the other listened. The two of them stood like this, separated by a big tree covered with ribbons, until the two of them became mountains.
It turned out that the demon god saw that Mengyu was still so in love with Liu Tian after ten years. He was extremely jealous and cursed that he wanted the two of you to look at each other forever, but never be together.
The colorful ribbons on the tree seemed to have been influenced by something. One by one, they connected the two mountains together, bringing up Liu Tian and Mengyu's dreams. The two of them seemed to have sensed this line as well, turning their dreams into stone. As the belt continued to drift, after an unknown period of time, these colorful belts actually turned into mountain ranges, tightly connecting their dreams together.”
At this moment, this kind and gentle little girl's eyes were filled with tears.
"Xingyu, don't cry. Look, that sea is so beautiful. One day, I'll take you to the seaside to see the sea!”Ling Tian did not know how to comfort this crying little girl, so he said whatever he wanted.
"Let's go to the seaside to see the sea! So beautiful!" Xingyu wiped her tears and looked longingly at the beautiful sea. Although he could see the boundless ocean every day, it was still so far away from him through the endless mountains.
Sometimes, she dreamed that she had come to the side of the sea, barefoot, stepping on the soft beach, picking up beautiful shells, and letting the sea water flow over her feet and knees.
When she woke up, she realized that everything was still the same. The dream was still a dream.
Time always flew by so quickly. The afterglow of the setting sun scattered over the mountain range, imprinting two figures descending the mountain. The leaves swayed in the wind, and under the setting sun, they were like pairs of small hands pulling the two figures, not wanting them to go down the mountain or go home.
Ling Tian and Xingyu carried the tree branches that they had picked up and walked to the door. However, the door was wide open.
A thick smell of blood entered Ling Tian's nose. To Ling Tian who had lived in the Magical Beast Forest for five years and frequently hunted magical beasts, the smell of blood was rather familiar.
"Not good!" Ling Tian cried out in his heart as he threw down the tree branch in his arms and flew inside.
"Tian gege, wait for me!" Starrain, who didn't know what was going on, hugged the tree branch and chased after him. He looked at Ling Tian clenching his fists tightly. Due to the excessive strength in his fists, his blood vessels had swelled up, causing blood to flow out from his feet.
Star Rain's heart thumped wildly. Her hands trembled as the branches she was hugging fell to the ground. Walking to Ling Tian's side, she discovered a person lying in front of her, lifeless in a pool of blood.
"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Starrain cried out twice before fainting.
Ling Tian immediately hugged her and gently placed her on the ground. He carefully looked at the old man's wound and kept turning the corpse over to check all parts of his body. There was a trace of blood on his fingernails. He carefully looked at the wound and fingernails. He lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something. After pausing for a while, he sighed and got up to walk into the house. He found a shovel and carried the old man's body to an open space to bury him.
Then, he stood up and returned to the courtyard. He guarded Xingyu and looked at this gentle and kind girl with concern. He didn't know how to tell her or what to say when she woke up.
An hour later, Xingyu's little hand moved." Hmm…" She let out a moan and slowly opened her eyes. As if she suddenly thought of something, she stood up and cried," Grandpa! Grandpa!"
Looking at the blood on the ground, he slowly picked it up with his hands. It was so precious, as if he could bring out his grandfather by picking up this blood. Blood kept flowing out from the gaps between her fingers. She did not pity the crying girl at all. She seemed so heartless and cruel.
"Star Rain!" A hand gently patted the girl's shoulder, as if endless words of comfort were coming from this hand. Xingyu turned around and hugged Ling Tian as she laid in his embrace, crying non-stop, her tears wetting Ling Tian's shirt. Ling Tian didn't say anything, and he didn't know what to say either. He only patted her back repeatedly, expressing his concern, comfort, and worry for her.
Slowly, the sound of crying became softer and softer, leaving behind only soft sobs. Perhaps she was tired from crying, or perhaps Ling Tian's pats on her back had taken effect.
The two of them stood there for a long time before the sobbing stopped. Xingyu left Ling Tian's embrace and asked,""Where is my grandfather?"
Ling Tian understood what she meant and held her hand, bringing her to the old grandpa's grave. The two of them knelt down together. Just like that, Xingyu was tired from kneeling and leaned on Ling Tian's shoulder.
Anyone who experienced such a blow would be in a very bad mental state and would be in a daze.
After an unknown period of time, Xingyu fell asleep. However, there were still tears at the corners of her eyes. Ling Tian gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. Looking at the pale and haggard Xingyu, his killing intent surged from his heart.
No matter who this person was, he would definitely kill him!
In a dark room, an old voice asked,""Is the matter settled?"
"Yes." A voice answered respectfully.
"Very good! Go!" There was no more sound in the room.
A figure outside bowed to the door and walked down.
