The farthest road in the world is never the end of the day ahead, but the road home behind you.
Since we were born, we have been leaving step by step. If we want to look back, there is no way.
Life is like this, you will eventually build your own home, and then it will spread out and multiply from generation to generation.
Fortunately, I am still a young bird now, and although the path home has been fading, it is still clear.
In this way, after getting lost again, I walked step by step on the way home.
"Go home! I want to go home!"
With such simple yet stubborn thoughts, I followed the light emitted by the animal tooth bracelet, walking in confusion step by step.
Wherever the light passed, the blood mist cleared away, and a quiet path appeared as I arrived, and disappeared as I quickly left.
The blood mist is like water, covering up all traces when opening and closing, and it is as if nothing has ever happened.
I don’t know how long it took, but when I took another step, my eyes suddenly lit up...
I just appeared on the outside world directly and abruptly, without even a gradual process.
Behind him is still the wall of clouds as white as snow, which is completely different compared to the blood color inside.
But I no longer have the energy to pay attention to this detail.
At this moment, when the tired bird returns to its nest, I only feel at a loss, and there is no joy or relief that I should have.
The sequelae of memory loss are still occurring, like having a deep dream, and you will always remain a little dizzy after waking up.
All the neural units in the entire brain are like rusty gears, running hard, very jerky, but full of vitality, faster and faster.
Just when the light returned to my eyes, a shadow enveloped me.
It's the castle lord, and he is indeed here!
After discovering my trace, he, who had been wandering nearby looking for a solution, flew directly here with Yaoyao.
Fairy spirit, white clouds and clear sun, this is what a true immortal looks like in my heart!
Facing the concerned eyes of the castle master and Yaoyao, I tried my best to squeeze out a smile, and then my eyes went dark and I didn't know anything anymore.
Alas! No matter how experienced the old driver is, he will never be able to control a broken car full of problems!
It was already late at night when I woke up again. Without opening my eyes, I knew I was lying on my dear bed just by the familiar smell on the tip of my nose.
There were no lights in the room, but it was still bright and red, making everything look a bit hazy and enchanting.
These lights come in from the open windows, they are cold, and after looking at them for a long time, you will even notice a slight fishy smell mixed in, which makes people irritated and crazy!
"It's the blood moon again!" I said.
"Yes! It's the blood moon again!" the castle owner responded to me. At this moment, he was sitting by the window, looking at the moon in the sky with a worried look on his face.
"Grandpa Lord, what are you worried about?" The rare look of worry on his face aroused my curiosity.
"It's nothing! I was just thinking that my enemy is coming soon, and I don't know what state he is in now." The castle master closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.
I knew that the enemy he was talking about was the evil immortal from the outside world who killed his heirs and finally played tricks on him until he had no way to escape.
"My benefactor once said that when the blood moon turns as red as jade, it will be the day of my revenge! Look at the changes in the blood moon, it won't take a few years..."
"Does the Lord of the Castle believe my father's words so much? There is the Cloud Wall behind and the Moon Burial Forest in front. No one can enter this place easily."
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but remind him, although the castle owner may have seen more than me.
"Silly boy, you were too young back then and don't remember many things. But when you have truly seen your benefactor's abilities, you will no longer have any doubts!"
The castle owner smiled and looked at me kindly, as if he saw the shadow of his benefactor in me.
Indeed, my almighty father, although he is no longer here, has left behind one amazing back-up man after another. I have seen a lot of this, and I can’t help but accept it.
But he also likes to be a fool too much. He doesn't say anything, and many of the means of arranging things in advance are not revealed until the critical moment. This is really annoying sometimes.
But I still feel proud most of the time, after all, this is in line with the image of a master!
"By the way, Xiaotian, what did you experience in the cloud wall? When I realized that you were swallowed by the cloud wall, don't mention how worried you were!"
"Isn't it like you said you were going to grab the demon fruit? Just hide in the beast's tooth chain?" The castle master said with a smile. He was very happy that I could come back safely.
"No, it's not this time..." I said hurriedly. Regarding what happened inside the Cloud Wall, I felt it was very necessary to tell the castle master to see what he thought.
"That's..." Seeing my denial, he also sensed a different atmosphere. He came to my side in a short step and looked at me very seriously, for fear of missing anything.
There is no way, Cloud Wall is the last place where my father disappeared, and it has always been a thorn in the heart of the castle owner.
He may want to know more than I do about what happened back then.
So, I adjusted my thoughts and recounted all the scenes I experienced when I was inside the cloud wall.
The castle owner was very quiet during the whole process, but his brows furrowed sometimes and softened. As a result, when I told him that I had walked out of the cloud wall, he didn't show any sign.
Obviously, for him, this information was just like what I saw inside the cloud wall. It was a large piece of fog in the clouds and not clear.
After a long time, the castle master let out a long sigh, then shook his head and laughed at himself: "Yes, with such poor qualifications, how could I possibly understand the methods of Duke Tuo En!"
I didn't respond to what he said.
At this moment, the castle owner seemed to have aged too much, and I really couldn't bear to ask any more questions.
What's more, does he really know? It's just sad.
At this time, the red light emitted by the blood moon outside has faded too much and will completely dissipate at any time.
As for when the castle owner left, I don't know, because at that time I suddenly felt a deep sleepiness again and fell asleep directly.
In the days that followed, Dongfang Fort seemed to be reborn.
After every blood moon, the castle owner would personally go out and snatch back a lot of demon-transforming fruits from the narrow strip of land where the Cloud Wall meets the Moon Burial Forest.
After these fruits were catalyzed by his martial arts, he selected suitable villagers from Dongfang Fort to take them, and personally supervised them to help them absorb them.
As a result, in a very short period of time, several masters of the innate realm were born in Dongfang Fort one after another, including Old Master.
After the base strength has been greatly improved, the villagers are no longer afraid of encountering low-level monsters when they go hunting in the Moon Burial Forest. (To be continued)
