Genshin Impact: Sorry, I am a cultivator
Chapter 224 Woman in Red Dress
A lifetime.
"Bai Li, Bai Luo, and Meng Lao, you are here? Sit down."
Inside the small pavilion, there is an octagonal table with several cups of tea already poured on it, and the aroma of tea is everywhere.
Seeing that only Di Yi was here, Bai Luo felt a little confused.
"Di Yi, why did you come here to see us?" Bai Li spoke first after the three of them sat down.
"Drink tea first, otherwise you won't be able to drink it later." Di Yi raised the teacup.
The three of them's expressions changed slightly when they heard this, but then they breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had already expected it.
After drinking tea, Emperor Yi spoke, "Have you considered the consequences of using sleepwalking to escape from your world and meet that One?"
Di Yi had originally expected these people to react, but the result surprised him a little.
Except for a slight change in their expressions at the beginning, the expressions of these three people remained calm as if nothing had happened, even after he said what he said.
"You don't need to say more about this matter. Since we have made the choice, we are ready to accept punishment." Old Meng smiled slightly.
"Hahahahaha, since the three of you are already prepared, I, Jiao, wish you all good luck."
Suddenly, a hearty laugh was heard, and a big man in a loose gray robe suddenly appeared. As he spoke, he walked straight to the seat next to Di Yi, sat down, picked up the teacup and started drinking without any hesitation.
"Brother Jiao, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been recently?" The Emperor just smiled slightly when he saw the visitor.
"That's great. Now that I know what the three of them have done, I'm a little curious. I want to know what He will arrange this time?" Jiao Wuya laughed.
Bai Luo and the other two remained calm throughout the period, and when they saw Jiao Wuya appear, they simply nodded in acknowledgement.
At this moment, the surroundings suddenly became inexplicably quiet, the wind stopped, the clouds stopped, and time also stopped.
"Bai Luo, Bai Li, Meng Wujie, you have violated the rules and arbitrarily changed the cause and effect. You must accept the punishment."
A vague and grand voice came from nowhere.
"We are willing to accept." Bai Luo and others replied calmly.
As for the others, they had already shut up and remained quiet when the sound of the great way rang out.
"As punishment, Bai Luo and Bai Li will go to the source of time and remove obstacles for 30,000 years." Bai Luo and Bai Li's faces changed slightly when they heard this, but they accepted it without saying a word.
"As punishment, Meng Wujie will go to the Eternal River and guard it for three hundred years."
Meng Wujie's eyelids twitched, and the expressions of the others changed drastically. The eyes of the others looking at Meng Wujie were suddenly filled with pity and sympathy.
The sound of the Great Dao disappeared, and everything around returned to normal, as if it had never appeared.
"Meng Lao..."
Bai Luo and Bai Li looked at Meng Wujie with complicated eyes.
"Hahaha, it's okay. You guys go. My old bones should be able to bear it. It's just three hundred years. I'll go too." Meng Wujie laughed, turned around and disappeared.
Bai Li and Bai Luo looked at each other in silence, but left soon after.
“Hiss… The eternal river, or three hundred years? Just thinking about facing that person…” Jiao Wuya took a breath.
"Shut up." Di Yi made a quick gesture.
"I understand, I understand." Jiao Wuya came to his senses and quickly covered his mouth and stopped talking.
The Eternal River is located in a broken world on the edge of the world. But its origin is not small.
Bai Luo and Bai Li were punished to go to the source of time to remove obstacles. This was to use their own power to eliminate the karma and disasters produced by the heavens and myriad worlds throughout the ages, in order to avoid the great consequences caused by the cessation of the flow of the long river of time.
Even an eternal and infinite being would have to endure tremendous pressure to eliminate karma in this way. Thirty thousand years was enough to make Bai Li and Bai Luo extremely uncomfortable.
Although guarding the ancient river for three hundred years may seem like a short time, it actually makes people like Di Yi feel uneasy, because the so-called guarding does not mean that they are guarding or something, but observing an extremely terrifying existence. To put it simply, it means watching that person's every move, and any changes must be notified to the Dao immediately.
After all, that person was born before the Great Dao...
Beside the world of life, there is only a lonely and dilapidated riverside, like a corner left after the world was damaged. A long river came from nowhere, but it flowed without a source. Both ends seemed to be cut off, but the water in the river still flowed, and there were even many fish with extremely terrifying breath in it.
There is an unknown ancient tree with a crooked neck by the river. Next to the river, under the ancient tree, a red figure stands by the river, holding a red lantern in her right hand. It looks weird at first glance.
She was dressed in a red dress, blazing like a raging fire against the dim background. Her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, framing her stunningly beautiful face. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her nose was straight, her lips were red like flowers, and her skin was as white as snow. However, her feet were bare beneath her dress, stepping on the ground.
Upon closer inspection, he saw that her eyes were tightly closed and there was a red mark between her eyebrows. If Yun Han were here, he would be shocked to find that her face was somewhat similar to Ying's.
hum!
A ray of light flew out from the world of life and quietly landed on the edge of the river. The figure appeared, but it was Meng Wujie. He was wearing a white shield to resist the infiltration of the breath of this space.
"Senior, I have completed what you entrusted to me."
Meng Wujie bowed his head and spoke respectfully. He didn't even dare to look up, even if it was just from a distance.
"……well……"
There was no response for a long time, only a sigh that seemed to come from another world, which made Meng Wujie's heart tremble.
"Ding!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound was heard, and a stream of light flew over and landed at Meng Wujie's feet. It was a golden copper coin with mysterious patterns engraved on it.
"Thank you, senior." Meng Wujie was overjoyed to see this thing, but he didn't dare to show it. He just thanked him respectfully, then picked up the copper coin and silently retreated behind a big rock.
After a long time, a sigh was suddenly heard again. Meng Wujie's heart trembled again. He slowly leaned forward and tried to look, but his eyes suddenly widened and a beam of light immediately shot into the void.
But the woman in red skirt by the river took a step and walked towards the ancient river. She didn't care at all about the light emitted by Meng Wujie.
At this moment, her red lips opened slightly, and a soft voice came through the space.
"The steps are staggering, the feet are hesitant,
Wandering alone along the ancient river.
The clothes are white, the skirts are red,
They looked at each other with a hazy smile.
As time passes, people and things change,
I linger and chant alone by the river.
The white dress is gone, the red skirt is gone,
The tears of longing are hard to dry."
A tear of blood quietly slid down from the left corner of her eye, which was always closed.
Ding dong.
Drops of blood and tears quietly scattered in the river, transforming into a picture in which Yun Han and Ying were hugging each other.
A white light came from nowhere, crossed the endless space, and instantly came to her left hand, turning into a jade bone flute.
"The jade bone flute, the guiding lamp,
He is the one who betrays his own cause and bears the consequences.
Farewell poem, blood and tears,
The spirit of the body accompanies the king. "
As soon as she finished speaking, her body gradually turned into powder from bottom to top and fell into the river, and the same happened to the object in her hand.
At the last moment, a smile appeared on her beautiful face.
"This..." Meng Wujie was stunned by the scene.
"Alas... why bother..."
The sound of the great way rang out, and the old Taoist came in the air. When he saw the last scene, his face was slightly moved and he shook his head.
