Chapter 0001: The Flower of the Other Shore in the Desert
Through the passage of time and numerous changes, it has meandered through this vast desert, and now it is nearly dried up, with blue flowers blooming abundantly on both banks, surrounding it.
A brief pause, followed by a rustling sound that spreads, a brilliant blue, all the tender shoots rapidly shoot up, growing in an instant
Chu Feng frowned; although he knew that the weather in the desert was the most changeable, what he was witnessing at the moment was indeed quite abnormal
The ancient beacons of smoke have long since vanished in the passage of time, and although the ancient path of the Yellow River has undergone several changes, it still remains.
The solitary smoke rises straight in the vast desert, while the setting sun is round over the long river
They are tender seedlings, less than one inch tall, emerging from the desert soil, adorned with a beautiful luster, translucent and enchanting, found everywhere.
Standing up to gaze into the distance, he felt that he was about to leave the desert. Perhaps after walking a little further, he would see the tents of the herdsmen. He decided to continue on his way
At the end of the vast desert, the eerie blue of the setting sun has dyed the western sky blue, yet it is ultimately about to vanish on the horizon
Chu Feng's speed increased rapidly as he began to run; he did not want to remain in this strange and uncertain place
Chu Feng took a step back, yet behind him was also filled with this type of plant, with blue light flowing, extending as far as the eye could see
Chu Feng was astonished, for the mist was unexpectedly blue, imparting a sense of coolness in this late autumn season
After leaving the academy, he set out to travel
This plant stands over 1 foot tall, its entire body shimmering like blue coral. The petals are elongated, enchanting and captivating, as if blooming in another realm, exuding a magical allure that draws in the heart and mind.
The alluring petals wither, and then the entire plant begins to dry up. They lose their color, exhaust their vitality, rapidly turn yellow, and then shatter, as if they have lost decades in an instant
However, the red of the spider lily is vibrant, while it is blue; I have never heard of a blue spider lily
The flower of the other shore truly exists, imbued with strong religious connotations. There are numerous legends surrounding it, but Chu Feng does not believe in these; he is only astonished by the scene before him
Chu Feng was traveling alone, feeling very fatigued. He lay on the yellow sand, gazing at the blood-red sunset, unsure of how much longer it would take to leave this vast desert
The sky gradually darkened, and the last rays of the setting sun had also disappeared
It is everywhere, stretching endlessly as far as the eye can see
The desert is dry and lacks water, with only extremely rare drought-resistant plants occasionally visible, scattered here and there. However, the spider lily prefers a gloomy and humid environment, and it should not appear here under any circumstances, especially not in such a captivating manner
Chu Feng did not pause, striding forward, as he crossed many sand dunes in the twilight, finally seeing the silhouette of mountains on the horizon, he was about to leave the desert
He was astonished, gazing intently, striving to discern; this resembled the flower of the other shore, with petals unfolding and curling backward, exceedingly beautiful
The vast desert stretches endlessly, with a thin mist tinting the setting sun blue, permeating the horizon, while the entire expanse of the boundless desert gives rise to blue flowers of the other shore, an indescribable wonder and mystery
Chu Feng shook his head vigorously and cautiously stepped forward, avoiding these flowers. He discovered that there was only one area without such plants, and that was the ancient path of the Yellow River
Chu Feng sat up and drank some water, feeling a significant restoration of his energy. His physique was of the tall and strong type, with an excellent constitution, and his fatigue gradually faded away
The sound of flowers blooming resonates, a vast expanse of azure in the desert, at the moment the sun is about to disappear, these plants begin to blossom in clusters of flowers
In front of the mountains, the lights flicker. Even from a considerable distance away from the foot of the mountain, some noisy sounds can be heard; it is not calm there, as if something is happening.
As the sky gradually darkened, he finally emerged, clearly seeing the mountains and faintly perceiving the tents of the herdsmen at the foot of the mountains
Still tranquil, the desert was only enhanced by a layer of hazy blue mist, with no other changes occurring. Chu Feng quickened his pace, wishing to leave this place as soon as possible
Flowers bloom on both banks, and each can see the other from afar
In the final moment, the withered blue spider lilies scattered across the ground shattered into powder
As he journeyed westward, he left behind a long and distant trail of footprints in the desert
At the end of the vast desert, the setting sun appears somewhat eerie, gradually transforming into a blue sun, exuding a kind of enchanting beauty, while the fiery clouds are also tinted blue
At last, the sun has set, and it is precisely at this moment that these plants are in full bloom, their flowers reaching their peak, transforming into a blue ocean, shimmering with brilliance
The withered powder falls upon the sandy ground, difficult to discern in the twilight, and by this time the blue mist has long since vanished, the desert has returned to its original state, as if nothing had ever occurred, once again tranquil
The blue desert sparkled with brilliance, and then suddenly, with a loud bang, all the blue flowers on the other shore bloomed, only to wither simultaneously in an instant
Suddenly, a faint sound came from ahead, as if something was breaking through the sand, and the noise was dense and continuous.
Silently and without warning, fog has arisen, which is quite rare in the desert
In addition, there were the fearful cries of cattle and sheep, as well as the deep growls of the Tibetan mastiff
Pop!
This bizarre phenomenon is difficult to explain
Unbeknownst to us, the mist thickens, enveloping this desert in a blue haze, shrouded in a vague and indistinct atmosphere
A multitude of blue flowers, sparkling like jewels, reminiscent of a dream, somewhat intoxicating, bloom abundantly in the desert, creating an extraordinarily surreal scene
Chu Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring at the desert. The ground ahead was dotted with blue lights, resembling scattered blue diamonds, sparkling brilliantly in the afterglow of the setting sun
The vast desert stretches endlessly, open and lofty, magnificent and powerful. As the red sun sets in the west, a deep crimson hue appears at the horizon, evoking a sense of desolation amidst the grandeur.
As I turn back, the vast desert behind me is silent, much like any other day
At that time, he did not pay attention
Before entering the vast desert, he had heard from the local old herdsmen that a person walking in the desert might sometimes hear strange sounds and see peculiar things, and one must be particularly cautious
They are like fireworks, briefly resplendent, beautiful to the utmost, and then they wither away, becoming ashes
Bang
In the desert, mirage-like phenomena often occur under the blazing sun; however, this does not seem to be a mirage.
The setting sun is very red, hanging at the end of the desert, where there is a serene beauty in the vastness
In a moment of silence, he came to a halt
Is there anything unusual? Chu Feng quickened his pace and arrived at the foot of the mountain, close to the dwelling of the herdsmen
Although dusk has fallen, the blue glow here swirls, dazzling to the extreme, remarkably vibrant
At the horizon, under the blue sky, the sun is setting, about to disappear, as mist envelops the vast desert, resembling a layer of eerie blue veil draped over it
A few days ago, he graduated, and at the same time, he said goodbye to the goddess of the campus. Perhaps they will not meet again, after all, he had been subtly informed that from now on they would be worlds apart, and it was time to part ways
Chu Feng stood on the ancient path of the Yellow River, his heart unable to find peace, yet he did not linger, swiftly advancing along the river path
A faint fragrance wafts, captivating one's senses
