Chronicles of Heaven

Chapter 8: Old man

Views:

There is black mist all around.

A warm red light dropped from the 'Void Sun' above the head and shone on the young Wu Tie.

Wu Jin and Wu Yin, who looked childish, wiped the sweat from their faces and looked happily at the swing they had been busy building between two stalagmites for three days.

Wu Tong picked up Wu Tie and placed him on the swing.

Wu Jin smiled and pushed the swing.

The swing rises high.

Wu Tie laughed with fear and joy at the same time, and his clear laughter spread far and wide...

Wu Tong stared at the swing with wide eyes, turned his head hard, and curled his lips: "Hey, these are children's toys... I, Wu Tong... no, I, Wu Changming, am an adult... I don't play with these kids. Children’s stuff.”

Wu Zhan carried a big snake as big as a bowl and walked into the warm red light from the black fog.

He looked at the four sons who were in a harmonious group with a smile, and patted the big snake that was still squirming on his shoulder: "Wait a minute, drink snake soup..."

Wu Jin, Wu Yin, Wu Tong, and Wu Tie laughed loudly at the same time.

The laughter stopped suddenly, and in the surrounding black mist, countless pale faces, swollen faces, and blood-stained and extremely ferocious faces suddenly appeared.

Overlapping faces squeezed towards Wu Tie.

The witch war disappeared.

Wu Jin disappeared.

Wu Yin disappeared.

Wu Tong disappeared.

Wu Tie let out a heartbreaking cry and twitched all over to wake up.

"Father...brother..." Wu Tie cried hoarsely, feeling indescribable heartache, which crushed the fear in his heart to pieces.

Crying hoarsely, Wu Tie's eyes were filled with tears, and he stared blankly at the object that had just scared him unconscious.

A skull that is all white, so white that it can almost make a blind person's eyes bright. The skull is so white with a hint of ferociousness, its eyes are shining with faint blood, and it is lying crookedly next to Wu Tie, looking straight at him. Staring at him seductively.

On the high rock dome, countless luminous gems emit bright light.

The surface of the white skull is very smooth. It was just kicked out of the dirt bag by Wu Tie. The surface is not stained with any dust or gravel, and it is clean without a trace of dirt attached to it.

Such a smooth surface does not reflect light at all.

The luminous gem shone brightly on the white skull, and the white skull seemed to swallow up all the light. Wu Tie stared at the pale white skull for a long time, and actually had the illusion that the skull was pitch black.

In this strange wonderland, Wu Tie, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, suddenly saw the skull and fainted from fright.

In the dream, he repeated the pain of losing his father, brother, and family. Wu Tie was heartbroken, but at this moment he forgot his fear.

Wu Tie cried, twitching and crying.

The white skull fell crookedly to the ground, its red eyes moving up and down, looking at Wu Tie seriously.

Wu Tie couldn't see it with his naked eyes, but extremely thin light emitted from the white skull's eyes, scanning his body carefully again and again.

"Dad is dead?" White Skull suddenly made a stiff, cold voice.

"Yeah!" Wu Tie sobbed and nodded.

"Brother is dead too?" The white skull's jaw joint did not move at all, and I don't know how he spoke.

"Yeah!" Wu Tie nodded again.

"Put me upright, grandpa." The white skull's eyes suddenly lit up, and two spots of blood stung Wu Tie's eyes, and he turned his face hurriedly.

"Hey, hold me upright, Grandpa. Why are you crying?" White Skull snorted coldly: "Grandpa, if I read it right, you are a man... a man."

Wu Tie opened his mouth.

"Men can only bleed, not even a single tear." The white skull snorted: "Once tears are shed, the bones become soft..."

Wu Tie stopped crying.

The figures of Wu Zhan and his three brothers seemed to appear in front of him.

He seemed to hear the roar after Wu Zhan punched Wu Jin into the sand on the school field.

Wu Jin curled up in the sand and groaned in pain, while Wu Zhan bent down and looked down at Wu Jin and yelled.

"Stand up, Wu Jin... you are a man... stand up!"

"Stand up, stand up straight!"

"Remember, unless you die, you have to stand up straight even if your spine is broken!"

"No matter who the opponent is."

"Anyway, remember, stand up straight for me at any time and anywhere!"

Wu Tie gritted his teeth and wiped his face with his palms, wiping away the tears on his face.

Wu Jin, who was taught by Wu Zhan to stand up straight at all times, knelt in front of the enemy for his useless brother.

Wu Tie struggled to stand up, and the image of Wu Jin kneeling flashed in front of his eyes. He straightened his waist with great force, gritted his teeth and stared at the strange white skull.

After standing up straight, Wu Tie realized that this white skull that had been kicked out of the earth bag without a trace of dirt on his body was three times the size of a normal person's head.

Moreover, his shape is a bit weird. The back of his head protrudes backward, and his streamlined appearance is full of an indescribable and strange beauty.

"Stop crying?" White Skeleton snorted: "Set me upright, grandpa!"

Wu Tie swallowed, bent down, and carefully grabbed the white skull.

The tentacles are cold.

This white skull is astonishingly made of metal.

"Huh?" Wu Tie looked at the white skull in fear.

"What a fuss." White Skull continued to hum.

Wu Tie shut his mouth, held the white skull with both hands and exerted force - the whole body was made of metal, and it was three times as big as a normal human head. Wu Tie doubted whether he could hold it.

The white skull was surprisingly light, and Wu Tie picked him up without much effort.

Wu Tie, who exerted too much force, even leaned back and almost lost his waist. He took two embarrassing steps back and stepped on a piece of slippery moss. He almost fell to the ground with his head. Only then did he stabilize his body.

"Ha." White Skeleton laughed stiffly: "Do I want to praise you for being so powerful and flexible?"

Wu Tie's face felt inexplicably hot. He hugged the white skull and found a small earth bag to place him upright on it.

Standing straight in front of the white skull, Wu Tie gritted his teeth and said to the white skull: "I won't cry."

In this vast foreign land, Wu Tie inexplicably became a little closer to this strange white skull.

After all, Wu Tie also has the courage to clean people's heads.

This white skull is more beautiful than the bloody dead head.

Moreover, dead heads cannot speak, but this white skull can not only speak, he can even teach people.

A boy and a strange white metal skull looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes for a while. The white skull suddenly spoke: "You just cried so sadly that your whole family died?"

Wu Tie's heart ached and heat came out of his eyes.

Resisting the urge to cry, Wu Tie inexplicably thought of what Wu Zhan once said.

"No, I don't have... mother, and little sister... although I don't know where they are... but they must still be alive..."

"Well, since your father and brother are dead anyway, is it different from the death of the whole family?" Bai Skull stiffly stabbed Wu Tie in the heart.

Wu Tie's whole body was stiff, he was exhausted to the extreme, his stomach became empty again, hunger struck, and his whole body became weak in waves. The words of the white skull completely dissipated the last bit of vitality in Wu Tie's heart.

Every corner of his body was filled with sadness and fear, and fatigue drained almost every cell out of him.

His mind went blank, Wu Tie's eyes turned white and his body fell backwards.

This fall... Wu Tie may never wake up or get up again.

"Revenge." The white skull's two dark red eyes suddenly lit up, and the stiff and cold metal sound was like a sharp knife, stabbing him in the heart.

"The hatred for killing your father is irreconcilable. Men should be clear about their grudges."

"If he can kill your father and brother, you should kill his whole family."

"The revenge for killing my father has not been avenged. Boy, you are not even qualified to die!"

There was an inexplicable rush of hot, crazy heat in my heart, and my exhausted body was suddenly filled with fanatical power.

"revenge!"

Wu Tie roared at the top of his lungs.

'Revenge' is a word he is not unfamiliar with.

"I want revenge!"

"But… "

Two lines of light red blood tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. Wu Tie looked at the white skull and shouted: "I can't practice... How can I take revenge?"

White Skull's bloody eyes flashed, and he looked Wu Tie up and down. After a while, he softly said: "I can let you practice... You can't practice? Ha, everything can become holy, it doesn't matter sooner or later... "

"You can't practice?"

"The person who said this is an idiot, right?"

Wu Tie suddenly stretched out his left hand to hold down the white skull, and then punched him hard in the face.

With a muffled sound, the skin of Wu Tie's right fist was torn open, and a few drops of blood slid down the smooth surface of the white skull, leaving no trace on the white skull's face.

"Idiot." White Skull sneered: "I am made of metal, you are made of flesh and blood... Why do you use your fists? Don't you know how to find a stone?"

Wu Tie suddenly woke up. He bent down, picked up a fist-sized stone at his feet, and hit the white skull hard on the head without saying a word.

"The one who said I couldn't practice... was my father!" Wu Tie yelled hysterically while hitting him with a rock.

"Grandpa, I'm really a bitch..." White Skull's eyes flashed: "But, just get used to it... I've long been used to it."

After hitting it hard for more than a hundred times, the smooth surface of the white skull did not leave any traces, but the stone was smashed.

Wu Tie sat down on the ground, panting and tore off a snake segment from his waist, and started biting it. After a few mouthfuls of snake meat entered his stomach, a trace of warmth surged out of his stomach, and he gradually regained some strength.

While biting the snake meat, Wu Tie's bloodshot eyes stared at the white skull like a wild beast: "You can allow me to practice?"

"Listen to me, I can let you practice..." White Skull said, "And, I can let you take revenge..."

Wu Tie quickly gnawed off a piece of snake meat. He gritted his teeth and stood up, staring at the white skull: "How to do it?"

The white skull's eyes lit up: "Answer me first... Now, what year and month is it?"

"What year and month?" Wu Tie looked at the white skull blankly.

"Chronicle? Calendar? Or something similar." The white skull's eyes dimmed a little: "Grandpa, I still remember the time... But it's been too long since I've met a living person... Little doll, do you understand what despair is? ?”

Wu Tie opened his mouth and was silent for a long time. He nodded vigorously.

despair

Isn't despair just watching your father disappear in a ball of thunder and fire

despair

Isn't despair just watching your brother being killed by the enemy on the spot

despair

Isn't despair just... your brother kneeling in front of the enemy, begging the enemy to let him go, but he has no power to resist

"Understood!" Wu Tie said one word with great difficulty.

"Grandpa, I must have been ten thousand times more desperate than you. It was a kind of... despair that you can't even imagine." White Skull suddenly sighed dryly: "But, it's great, now grandpa, I suddenly feel There was endless motivation.”

"Really, why are you talking such nonsense to a little kid like you?" White Skull's voice suddenly became extremely high-pitched and powerful, the sound was sonorous, like two sharp swords clashing with each other: "Come, now, hold me, listen I direct!"

"But, I really don't know... what chronology, what calendar... Master has never taught me anything." Wu Tie walked behind the white skull and hugged him with both hands.

Several translucent hoses fell out from the broken neck of the white skull, swaying and slapping Wu Tie's wrist.

"Look for that direction...the direction with a little red light, that's right, come on, open your legs and take a big step!"

White Skull's voice is full of power.

"Little guy, let's go, one two one... one two one... one two one..."

"Straighten your back, hold your head high, keep your legs straight, pay attention to your breathing rate, and follow my beat."

"One two one, one two one, one two one..."

The white skull is three times the size of a normal human head. Wu Tie is thin and not very tall at the age of eleven. Holding the white skull is like a little mouse holding a big egg. It is very difficult for him to walk.

Although the white skull is not heavy, Wu Tie does not have much strength.

In addition, the ground was slippery, covered with thick moss, and densely covered with all kinds of weird vines. Wu Tie fell several times after walking not far.

But the "one, two, one" sound of the white skull was filled with a strange power. Wu Tie gritted his teeth and stood up, hugging him and continuing to move in the direction he pointed.

Fortunately, the texture of the white skull was special. Wu Tie dropped him to the ground several times, but when he picked him up, the white skull was still clean and free of any dirt.

"One two one, one two one, well, boy, you're walking well... What's your name?" The white skull's eyes flashed with blood, and a very thin red light suddenly flashed, dozens of steps away, the wizard Where Tie couldn't see, a venomous snake swimming rapidly was instantly divided into dozens of sections.

"Wu Tie." Wu Tie gasped: "Wu Taiping... what about you?"

"Wu Tie? It's not a bad name, but a man should be as hard as iron!" White Skull said: "But Wu Taiping? 'Wu Taiping'... Who came up with this word? It's unlucky..."

Wu Tie's face drooped.

White Skull laughed dryly: "Ka, ka, Grandpa, my mouth is so mean... Just get used to it, get used to it..."

The blood in his eyes flickered, and countless thin light nets invisible to Wu Tie's naked eyes swept in all directions, covering a radius of a hundred meters.

"Wu Tie, Wu Tie, grandpa, I will call you Xiao Tie from now on. You look close and affectionate!"

"As for my name, grandpa... you can call me... Lao Tie!"

"Old Tie?" Wu Tie felt that the name was a bit perfunctory.

"Of course, old man...haven't you noticed that my whole body is covered in iron bumps? I am worthy of my name!"

After laughing a few times, Lao Tie said: "Hold on, one two one, one two one... walk another two thousand meters and rest."

"At the same time, start practicing!"
