19. The shadow of calamity returns to silence, and we work together to protect the world.
The twilight in the lotus pond is always particularly gentle. When the setting sun dyes the green lotus petals into amber, Gu Baifei is sitting on the porch grinding a lotus pattern jade comb for me.With a touch of spiritual energy condensed on his fingertips, he polished the edges of the jade material to become more rounded. The jade chips fell on the bluestone, mixed with the falling lotus petals, like a handful of broken light.I leaned on his shoulder and watched the bamboo shadow swaying, and suddenly I noticed a very faint tremor coming from the spiritual veins. The fluctuation was unfamiliar and familiar, and the lotus fragrance on my fingertips suddenly froze – this was the unique cold fluctuation of the evil spirit during the war between gods and demons hundreds of millions of years ago.
Gu Baifei’s movements stopped instantly, and the soul in his palm turned into a white light and sank into the ground.When he stood up, he was dressed in white. His usual gentleness faded from his brows and eyes, and there was a sharpness that had not been seen for billions of years: “It’s the breath of the cracks in the abyss, which has broken through the seal again.” As soon as he finished speaking, several exclamations came from the direction of Liancheng in the distance, and a thick black mist surged from the northwest corner of the sky, spreading towards the lotus pond at an extremely fast speed. Wherever it passed, the spiritual grass on the roadside withered instantly, and the petals lost their luster.
Siyi’s great-great-grandson who was guarding the pulse had staggered over, his clothes were stained with the juice of the spiritual grass, and his face was pale: “Zuzu! The spiritual vein outside the city suddenly backfired, the spiritual valley in the ground all withered, and the people were cold and trembling for no reason!” Gu Baifei raised his hand and threw it toHe held a spirit-containing bead and said, “Take the tribe to the barrier deep in the bamboo forest and use this bead to stabilize the breath.” Then he turned around and held my hand. The warmth in his palm dispelled the coldness on my fingertips. “You guard the origin of the lotus pond, and I will seal the cracks.”
I shook my head, took off the lotus pattern hosta from my bun and put it into his hand.This hairpin contains the power of hundreds of millions of years of lotus heart, and is the best tool to ward off evil: “You protected me from tribulation hundreds of millions of years ago, and it’s time for us to go together.” Green lotus seals formed on my fingertips, and green light bloomed all over my body. The origin of the lotus heart that had been cultivated for hundreds of millions of years was fully awakened. The lotus pattern on the skirt seemed to come alive, turning into solid petals surrounding my body.A flash of emotion flashed in Gu Baifei’s eyes, and then he held the hosta tightly, and the immortal bone spirit essence was injected into the body of the hairpin along the palm of his hand. The originally warm hosta instantly burst into dazzling white light.
We flew to the fissure on the lotus clouds, and the sights along the way were shocking.Outside Nianxia’s family study, several ancient books were entangled in black air, and the ink marks turned into black smoke and dissipated; in the spiritual herb garden of Yaolu, half of the spiritual herbs had turned black and rotted, and the descendants of the spiritual doctor were running around anxiously.Gu Baifei casually waved a few spiritual techniques to temporarily isolate the black energy from the medicine garden, while I scattered a handful of lotus seeds. The lotus seeds took root on the ground, and layers of green lotus sprouted instantly, trapping the black energy.Although those green lotuses are not as tough as the spiritual plants in the lotus pond, they still rely on the power of the lotus heart to buy time for the people to escape danger.
The Abyss Fissure is in the valley to the west of Liancheng. The seal we jointly laid down has cracked. Black evil energy is pouring out from the crack, and the rocks around the crack have been corroded into pits.Gu Baifei flew down on the sealing stone and inserted the lotus-patterned hosta into the center of the crack. The hosta instantly turned into a beam of light, stabilizing the opening of the crack.He raised his head and spit out a mouthful of blood essence. The blood essence fell on the light pillar. The light pillar suddenly surged several times and connected with his immortal bone spirit essence, forming a solid barrier.
“Use your lotus heart source to attract the power of spiritual veins!” He shouted to me, his voice a little hoarse due to the consumption of spiritual energy.I immediately sat down cross-legged and used my mental method to pull the spiritual veins of the lotus pond.The spiritual veins that have nourished Liancheng for hundreds of millions of years are like a giant blue dragon, rushing along my thoughts. I turn the power of the spiritual veins into countless threads and wrap them around the light pillar.But the evil spirit in the crack suddenly surged, and a huge impact hit me. I was so shocked that I spurted out a mouthful of lotus blood, and my body was shaking.
When Gu Baifei saw this, he turned around suddenly to protect me behind him.All the immortal bones and spirit energy around him exploded, his white clothes rustled in the black air, and the marks of old wounds left hundreds of millions of years ago to protect me appeared on his back. The marks were astonishingly bright at the moment, echoing the light beam.”Do you still remember the oath we made on the lotus platform hundreds of millions of years ago?” He looked back at me, and the harshness in his eyes turned back to the familiar tenderness, “We will live and die together, and we will never betray each other.”
I gritted my teeth and completely let go of the origin of the lotus heart.Hundreds of millions of years of time, countless mornings and evenings, and the warmth in those fireworks have all turned into strength at this moment.I turned into a huge green lotus, with petals layered on top of each other, protecting both Rift and Gu Baifei in the center.Gu Baifei took the opportunity to sacrifice the Lotus Heart Mirror that he had refined together. The mirror reflected our intertwined spiritual essences, and a green and white light beam shot straight into the sky and slammed into the depths of the crack.The black energy let out a harsh hiss, just like the wail when it was defeated, and shrank back into the crack little by little.
After an unknown amount of time, the black energy finally dissipated and the crack closed again.Gu Baifei held me exhausted and fell to the ground. My figure slowly returned to my human form, but my face was pale.He carefully wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, his fingertips trembling unlike usual: “Don’t take such risks next time.” I smiled and touched his cheek. His face was still handsome, but his temples were stained with some dust, which made him look more smoky: “You are the same.”
When we hugged each other and returned to the lotus pond, it was already dawn.The people in the bamboo forest boundary came out one after another. Si Yi’s great-great-grandson was instructing the tribe to clean up the withered spiritual grass, Nian Xia’s descendants were repairing the study, and the spiritual doctor was using the lotus heart dew we left behind to treat the people.The little girl ran over with a half-eaten piece of lotus seed cake, and put the cake into my hand: “Zuzu, this is sweet, please strengthen your strength.” The cake is still warm, mixed with the fragrance of lotus, and has a taste that has not changed for hundreds of millions of years.
Gu Baifei tied the hosta around me again. In the morning light, the luster of the hosta became more and more moist.He bent down and picked up a lotus petal stained with dew, and put it gently against my cheek: “The calamity has passed again, but your appearance remains the same, and I feel at ease.” In the lotus pond in the distance, new green lotus is breaking through the water, dewdrops are sliding down the petals, and the trembling of the spiritual veins turns into gentle pulses, spreading throughout every corner of the lotus city.
The bamboo shadows sway, the lotus fragrance fills the air, and the sun shines through the mist.I know that there may be countless billions of years in the future, and there may be waves of calamity coming, but as long as our appearance remains unchanged and our original intentions remain unchanged, the peace and fireworks of this world will never dissipate.
