626 The Tremble of the Heavenly Dao Sage Table (1/2)
It was a beautiful scene, but it was shocking at the same time.
Black smoke spurted from the crater and rose towards the sky, forming a large black cloud, covering all the light emitting from the stars, and there was not a single ray of light in Black Moon Island.
At the same time...
A ray of light fired out from the crater and broke through the impenetrable wall of the volcano. It was extremely fast and slid across the sky.
”Rumble...” Numerous gravels fell from the volcano and into the red magma beneath, creating flowers of flame upon impact.
”Big brother!” The two men rushed out from the light, clenching their fists, as they looked anxious and worried.
...
Five days later, early in the morning.
The warm and soft sunlight fell from the sky, and the red feathered bird flew down from the horizon. It stopped on a lush tree branch, chirping cheerfully.
Under the big tree, the green grass was stained with dew, and a faint cloud drifted across the sky. From time to time, a breeze blew through the leaves, and the branches shooked and rustled.
It was at the bottom of the Cang Ling Mountain, a piece of land in the Northern Mountain Village. Peaceful. It was ordinary just like the surrounding scenery, looking elegant and pleasing to the eye.
And just at the moment, the peaceful ground trembled vigorously, resulting in the branches to shift down.
”Chip!” The birds were frightened as they flapped their wings and soared up into the sky.
The silence had seemed to be broken, but after the tremor, everything was restored to its original state again, as though nothing had happened.
But there was another whole new world apart from this whole serenity.
The sound of the strings hung in the air. It was light and slow, flowing smoothly like a small river.
It seemed like there was a spell that was calming the surroundings.
The string instrument was playing a meditation song.
The song was obviously a meditation song.
The rhythm of the song, as well as the jade-like fingers on the purple guqin. A white snow dress slightly floated along with the blowing breeze, as her dark beautiful hair landed on the emerald green grass.
The song sounded like a fairyland.
It was coupled with the beautiful face of the woman, with crystal clear jade skin and bright black eyes. That scenery was indeed extremely stunning.
However, the young lad sitting opposite the woman did not seem to see the woman at all, as his eyes were not even opened.
Both his eyes were slightly closed.
It seemed like he was sleeping.
However, he wasn't lying down, instead he was sitting on the floor. His hands were laid flat on his knees, and it did not look like he was sleeping, in fact, it was like he was in his own state.
The Buddhists have an explanation for this state, it is called: meditation.
Fang Zhengzhi wasn't aware if he had already sunk into a meditating state, but he knew he was tired, extremely tired.
He had fought and attempted to escape multiple times after he knew that he was being trapped by Yun Qingwu using the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet.
He was never so serious till now, where for half a month, he had only gotten an hour of sleep daily. When his eyes were open, he had been looking around.
Observing every details.
From the grains of sand on the ground, to the plants on the grass patch and the leaves on the trees. And finally to the mountains faraway, the rivers and the sky…..
He did not miss out on any part.
Look, observe, reflect.
Throughout this half month's duration, he had emptied every part of his body.
He had suffered for half a month.
Until 5 days ago...
Fang Zhengzhi could no longer tolerate his situation, and it was not because he could not endure his predicament anymore, but it was because he had insufficient time left.
It was because the Heavenly Dao Pavilion test was only a month away from now.
If he were not trapped, and such a situation did not happen, five days ago, he would have started setting off for the Northern Mountain Village. Then he would have met up with Yan Xiu at the Flame Capital City before heading for the Heavenly Dao Pavilion.
But, the situation now was all in a mess.
He had not moved a bit, since the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablets were still not unlocked. Hence, he had to stay trapped outside the Northern Mountain Village. He had resorted to all sorts of methods, but Yun Qingwu still remained relentless.
In fact even till recently, she even tried to not care, not listen and not answer to any negotiations.
Fang Zhengzhi was furious.
”Let me out, you crazy woman. Even if you want me to solve the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet, there's no need for you to trap me here right? Human rights, do you know what are human rights?”
Fang Zhengzhi roared and threatened to commit suicide. As he had predicted that Yun Qingwu would never want him to die, and her goal was just for him to solve the Thirteen pieces of Heavenly Dao Sage Tablets.
Or maybe, that might be a win-win situation for both of them.
Yun Qingwu would know about the secrets of Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet, and he would be able to succeed in entering the Sage State.
But this method was really tough, since there was no space for negotiations at all and he was forced to do this. Is this really the best method?
Fang Zhengzhi's complants had attracted Yun Qingwu's attention.
But her response was, ”If a person really wants to die, nobody else could save him.”
Then...
There was nothing after that.
Fang Zhengzhi certainly wasn't thinking about suicide, so he came to the last resort which was to give up. He had used the self-harm method to force Yun Qingwu to let him out, which was not something he would usually do.
His heart was beating really fast, as though it was about to explode anytime.
After spending half a month trapped outside the Northern Mountain Village, he turned from a carefree and cheerful bird into an anxious ant.
His sudden disappearance had caused the people around to feel worried. Putting Wu Yuer aside, he could not help but think about Qin Xuelian and Fang Houde.
Moreover, Qin Xuelian's body condition had been deteriorating...
And then there was the promise he had made with Chi Guyan.
He was supposed to be at the Heavenly Dao Pavilion two years ago. But it had already been postponed for two years, was he supposed to delay it any longer?
He had no idea if he would still have another two more years to live.
And then there was Ping Yang...
The Ping Yang who had been waiting for him at the Ling Yun Tower.
Fang Zhengzhi had too many things to settle, and he could never be at ease to observe the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablets and wait patiently for him to get lucky and be a sage.
All these anxieties were pressing down on Fang Zhengzhi.
Therefore, he needed to vent his anger and frustration.
