Night without Borders

Chapter 257: Blood-stained Kite in the Night Sky

Heavy fog, barren land.

Thatched hut, dim lamp, faint firelight.

The scenes before my eyes were extremely unusual.

Qin Ming looked at the dim human-shaped lantern and was shocked. It looked very similar to Old Man Liu!

How is this possible? A small village in a remote place and a place related to myths and legends, the two should not have any connection or intersection.

Qin Ming felt that this was probably a coincidence that they looked alike.

How could Old Man Liu, a country old man, leave any traces here?

Wu Yaozu walked forward, and suddenly, the remaining lights went out and the thatched cottage became blurry.

"Hmm, virtual scene?" He stopped where he was.

Qin Ming was surprised. Everything was so real, how could it suddenly disappear?

He took two steps forward, and suddenly, the dilapidated hut reappeared, the dim lights relit, and everything became clear again.

The two looked at each other, is this place both real and illusory?

Xiao Wu moved forward again, and the scenery suddenly became dim again.

Qin Ming felt something, and the moment he took a step forward, everything became clear.

"What kind of crappy place is this? They treat people differently and even discriminate against me!" Xiao Wu was very dissatisfied.

"Brother Ming, you walk in front." He was very conscious and followed behind.

Sure enough, as the two of them walked forward in this way, even if they touched the hut and the lantern with dim firelight, the scenery would not disappear.

Xiao Wu's eyes changed, and he said, "Brother Ming, you said I was a 'Jedizi', you are not my neighbor, but a 'Shadizi', right?"

He thought it was too weird that the scenery here could actually recognize people.

Qin Ming didn't say anything and looked at everything here carefully.

The hut is old, but far from being rotten. Considering the material, it is believed that it has not experienced long years of erosion and scouring since it was built.

"It's an evil place with thick fog. All kinds of evil here are harmful to the body. Who has ever lived in seclusion here?" Qin Ming felt that this place was not suitable for long-term residence.

In the thatched cottage, there was an old desk with papers and pens on it, not covered with dust, as if the owner had left not long ago.

Qin Ming immediately stepped forward and looked carefully.

He did not recognize the characters on the paper. They looked like Fengzhuan characters, which were quite complicated and belonged to an extremely ancient font.

However, there is a spiritual imprint left, which directly penetrates the paper and allows people to know its meaning.

"I'm back in the mortal world, and I don't know when it will be. The Wu Dynasty, which I have never heard of, has already come to an end..."

Qin Ming was lost in thought. Writings from the end of the Wu Dynasty? Apparently more than 500 years ago!
If this is calculated, the hut is quite old, and the materials that are easy to rot have not decayed yet.

"Brother Ming, there's blood on the back of the lantern. Is it really made of paper?" Xiao Wu touched it and found that although the material of the paper lantern was as thin as a cicada's wing, it felt very delicate, like leather.

He felt as if he had been electrocuted, and with a whoosh, he pulled his hand back.

"Grandma, may you have infinite life and blessings!" Wu Yaozu muttered to himself.

Qin Ming came to the door and looked at the human-shaped lantern carefully. He was younger than Old Liu, with black hair and ruddy face, and did not look as vicissitudes of life as Old Liu.

The bloodstained part was the back of "Old Man Liu", which was like a cicada shell, with a crack and bloodstains, which were black and dark.

After reading it, Qin Ming went back into the thatched cottage to look at the phoenix seal script on the straw paper.

"Outside Yujing, I actually saw seven suns stacked up and wandering around. I was very surprised."

Qin Ming was really shocked when he saw this.

Now that the New Life Road has come to an end, Tathagata Power, Yuqing Power, etc. are similar to Liuyu Power, and they stop here and are difficult to expand further.

The expansion of the outside world has not stopped. Theoretically, it has expanded to the initial stage of the seven-day superposition level, but it is quite difficult to implement. It is suspected that only a few old monsters have stepped in.

And five hundred years ago, there were people who could superimpose seven days?

Qin Ming couldn't calm down and read on quickly.

"The seven days are combined into one, and the brilliant light dispels the night fog. The grand sight of the eighth day crossing the sky is not far away!" The person who left the message was very surprised.

Qin Ming and Xiao Wu looked at each other, both shocked.

It should be noted that the Seven Imperial Powers have not yet appeared in the world, and the state of the seven days superimposed is still being verified and explored, and there is no complete form.

In fact, this was also the case in ancient times.

This is because, those who possess the Six Imperial Powers and those who have the Six Suns Superimposed, people at this level, can already transform into god-like creatures and near-immortal beings.

This "transformation" is drastic and the change is huge!
It can even be said that doing so is equivalent to changing a path.

From human to god, from human to immortal, it can almost be said that this is a transformation of species.

Some people are willing to take this path, but there are also ancestors who are very resistant and unwilling to get involved, thinking that the road they have come from is not over yet and they should not jump out of their tribe.

“People today are better than the sages of the past. If someone who achieves perfection in seven days becomes a god, to what level will he transform into?” The person who left the letter seemed to be deeply touched.

Qin Ming turned the page and saw seal characters on the back, which seemed to be written by the local owner. "This..." Xiao Wu was also shocked, because the level mentioned by the writer was a field that they could not touch at present.

The article briefly mentioned that although they are all god-like creatures, there are huge differences between them. For example, the night-wandering god is actually called a hairy god by the local owner.

The handwriting on the paper is powerful and vigorous, but the notes are rather scattered.

He also mentioned the gods of the earth and even more so the gods of the sky, especially the latter, whose achievements were extremely amazing and terrifying.

According to what is written on the paper, the great achiever must have gone very far on the original path.

At the same time, he also made an analogy and clearly pointed out that there are also hairy fairies on the immortal road, but their strength is not very good.

Naturally, the paper also mentioned earthly immortals, as well as those with higher achievements, such as the celestial immortals living in caves.

"I have observed that later generations are close to immortals, but they have not become immortals. In the end, they seek the truth, so their path should be correct. They have greater courage and determination than the ancient sages."

The local owners were surprised and pleased with the changes that took place in later generations.

In the eyes of the person who left the book, the further one goes on this path, the greater the achievement will be when one finally transforms into a god or becomes an immortal.

In particular, he was even more excited when he saw that in later generations, someone had reached this height on this route close to the eighth day.

"Of the two types of beings, gods and immortals, only those with great achievements can still forge ahead. Lesser gods and immortals have various problems and will never be able to move forward."

The notes at the end are written in a rather sloppy manner, which shows the mood of the owner of this place.

"In this life, although I have a path to follow, I always think of where I came from and want to return to my original self." When the seal script reads to this point, one can imagine the local owner's inner emotions that are turbulent.

Qin Ming only resonated slightly and almost fell to the ground, suffering a serious impact.

He didn't delve any deeper into it, because there was no additional information, it was just a literal continuation of the feelings, only more intense.

When reading this, how could the two of them not know how high the status of the owner of the hut was.

"This must be an old god or ancient immortal!" Wu Yaozu said excitedly.

The notes were not finished yet, and it was written later that the local owner observed carefully and found that the one who had perfectly superimposed the seven days came from the depths of the night fog world and was not from this territory.

That extraordinary outsider had accidentally drifted here with several of his disciples because of a terrible divine magnetic storm and was actively looking for a way home.

From this perspective, the night fog world is truly vast and boundless. Even creatures like gods and immortals probably haven't explored it to its end.

However, this is understandable. After all, many of the ancestors of the time do not value immortals, and believe that they are comparable to them, and they all have their own confidence.

The ancestors could not explore the end, and even if the ancient gods and immortals surpassed them, it would not be too outrageous.

Xiao Wu pondered and said, "In the depths of the Night Mist World, there won't be a country with a larger territory and a more glorious cultivation system than ours, right?"

Qin Ming said nothing, turned the page and continued reading.

"Every time I sigh, even if I am a god or an immortal, I am like a kite with a broken string, easily lost in the vast night sea, stained with blood and falling, and I have a lifespan!"

These words made Qin Ming lose his mind for a while. If he thought about it carefully, it would be quite scary. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt!

"I want to find my original path and return to my original self!" This strong desire was conveyed through the paper and has not dissipated after five hundred years.

Xiao Wu was suspicious and said, "It's understandable that the original paths of the old gods and immortals have changed. With the change of species, their bodies are very different from the past. What do gods and immortals look like?"

"The pain of skinning and bone removal is unbearable even for gods. It hurts, it hurts..."

The words were stained with blood. The local owner was very determined and cruel to himself. He wanted to regain his human body and was willing to "kill" himself.

"Brother Ming, are the human-shaped paper lanterns outside made of his skin?" Xiao Wu said.

Qin Ming did not respond, staring at the scribbled words behind.

"I will return with the wind, covered in blood, to see my original self." These words were almost completely covered in blood and could be vaguely seen.

All of these combined together made Qin Ming feel a chill in his heart, because this was quite similar to the kite theory of the reclusive Li family.

This person has gone far away. Even if he was once a god, he will eventually fall to the ground somewhere like a blood-stained kite.

Qin Ming went to see the human-shaped lantern again. Did they look alike, or was it related to that old friend?
If you think about it carefully, a lot of things don't match up. This happened five hundred years ago.

Moreover, this person must be a great god or ancient immortal.

Old man Liu is in his seventies and his birth time does not match.

He had a rough life. He wandered in the snow and ice when he was young. He didn't know who his parents were and almost froze to death. After he fell seriously ill and lost his memory, he wandered to Shuangshu Village and was adopted. He had bad luck all his life and missed several opportunities to change his fate. In his old age, he was reborn only three times.

Moreover, his final rebirth was also thanks to Qin Ming.

"I regret it. It is too difficult for gods and immortals to return to human form, let alone high-level gods. This is a death calamity. I will record this experience. Only those who have a good relationship with me can enter this place."

When he saw this, Xiao Wu opened his eyes wide, came closer, looked at Qin Ming carefully, compared him with the human-shaped lantern, and said: "Brother Ming, this can't be your previous life, right?"

"What are you thinking about!" Qin Ming pushed him away.

At this point, the notes also mentioned that there were some "things" left behind the hut for later comers, who should take them with caution.

On this paper, the words between the lines are a reminder that the land behind the hut is unusual and connected to the legendary land.

"The road ahead is not over yet, we should move forward vigorously, do not rush to become a god, even if you are a celestial being, it is not easy to escape from Yujing..."

This is the last paragraph, which is rather fragmented. The local owner hastily put down his pen and the conversation ends here.
