Chapter 1394 Finally, on the eighth day

One day, I was patrolling the mountains as usual.

The children picked up an injured wolf.

The wolf's hair was silver-grey, its belly was shriveled, and a lot of blood flowed from its mouth.

Moreover, a toe on one of its hind feet was broken, and the wound looked like it had been bitten by something.

It was dripping with blood and even bones could be seen.

To be honest, the wolf on the mountain is not very pleasant.

After all, wolves sometimes break into the pens where they raise livestock and poultry to steal food. How to prevent and drive away these cunning and ferocious wolves has always been a headache for children.

Even now that he was seriously injured, when he saw them coming around, the wolf was still baring his teeth at them and growling menacingly.

But the children still tied the seriously injured wolf to several logs with straw ropes and worked together to carry it back.

Tang Liu crouched next to the wolf and took a look, then said to the children surrounding him: "The preliminary inference is that it was injured from a fall. The missing rear toe should have been bitten off by the mutated monster."

He looked at the heads gathered together and asked, "What, do you want to eat wolf meat?"

Children, you look at me, I look at you, and then we shake our heads at the same time.

Tang Liu raised his lips and smiled: "Then why did you bring it back? Do you want to save it?"

The children looked at each other again and nodded at the same time.

Tang Liu couldn't help but smile: "Ha, that's strange. When all the chickens, ducks and sheep in the pen were killed by the wolves, all you two shouted was to avenge those chickens, ducks and sheep.

"Why do you want to save the wolf now that you see it injured?"

Hongmiao thought for a while and said, "But it looks so pitiful, teacher."

Tang Liu: "What about the chickens, ducks and sheep that were killed before? Aren't they pitiful?"

The children looked at each other.

Finally, Yu Wenyun said hesitantly: "Then...in essence, they are just to fill their stomachs...

“Aren’t we raising those poultry and livestock in order to kill them one day to fill our stomachs?”

Tang Liu looked at him: "If you think like this now, why did you want to kill the wolf who was the culprit when you saw the remains of chickens, ducks and sheep all over the ground?"

Most of the children pursed their lips, lowered their heads and were speechless.

Tang Liu looked calm.

In the end, Hongmiao said seriously: "One code equals one code, right?

“We hated them at that time because they damaged the fruits of our labor for a long time. All the chickens, ducks and sheep were dead and there was no way to save them.

"Now...if we see it, if we can save it, we can't just watch it die, right?

"After all, it is still alive. Moreover, it is not necessarily the wolf that killed all our poultry and livestock, right?"

The other children nodded in agreement.

Tang Liu smiled: "Okay.

“But are you prepared for the price you have to pay to save a life?

"Life is not something you just say you want to save.

“The moment you make a decision, it means that you must also take corresponding responsibility for it.

“For example, it needs to be taken care of during its recovery period.

“After recovery, due to disability, there is a high probability that he will not be suitable to live in the wild again.

"It's equivalent to the fact that you are likely to take care of it for a lifetime, and that is not as simple as feeding it with two mouthfuls of food.

“You will encounter many unexpected difficulties and choices.

"And are you sure you are ready to take on such a responsibility?"

The children looked at each other one after another, and finally nodded vigorously.

A faint smile appeared on Tang Liu's lips: "Wolves are also mammals. Use what you have learned before to try to cure it."

The children immediately started to move.

Then it took more than a month for the wolf to stand up again, and it also changed from fierce and wild to tame.

After a while, I can even understand some of their instructions.

It is very smart. Although it has some difficulty in moving due to the disability of its hind legs, it can still help pick up things in its mouth.

Since then, the children seemed to suddenly have a great sense of accomplishment, and began to be keen on carrying various injured animals back.

Until one day, they picked up an injured child.

They healed the child they picked up, took good care of him, and taught him.

Teach them everything they have ever learned.

And she was very excited about the child's health and the fact that he could stumble and talk for the first time.

Then, they learned a fact from the children.

Outside the mountain, there were more similar people like him who were running around, being hunted down by mutant monsters, injured, or even dead.

But he was the only one who was lucky and ran into this mountain.

Then there was a miraculous and fantastic salvation.

The children were silent all night.

On the morning of the next day, they gathered around Tang Liu again.

Said, "We want to go outside."

I want to find more people and bring them all back.

Tang Liu looked at them one by one: "Even if the person you are looking for is probably the same as the adults last time, he wants to hurt all of you?"

The children thought for a while: "Then just don't find that kind of adult. Bring back everything else."

Tang Liu laughed because of this: "Okay.

"It's time to go out for a walk."

…

Nobility is not the epitaph of the noble.

but.

——On the fifth day, they learn equality, compassion, and love.

…

The process of looking around for other similar people is neither smooth nor unsmooth.

The unsuccessful thing is that the world is too big, but there are too few people who survive.

Sometimes, even if they walk in one direction for several days and nights, they may not meet other living compatriots.

They even have to give up and return to the mountains.

They walk along the way and set up camp wherever they go.

After resting, they continue to pay tribute.

The smooth thing is that every time they meet a fellow who is fleeing from the pursuit of mutant monsters, they join them after being rescued.

They teach all their new fellows what they have learned without reservation.

Then continue on the journey of rescue.

For a long, long time.

But one day, they were attacked by several large mutant monsters.

Their team has grown, but they are still too vulnerable in front of the mutant monsters that look extremely terrifying.

Whether it is external or internal.

It is the same.

The cause is that Zhang Xiaocao just rescued a new compatriot from the tentacles of a monster.

Then the next second, she was pushed towards the monster by the person she rescued.

Before the other children could react.

Zhang Xiaocao was drawn into the monster's twisted body by the tentacles.

He was instantly engulfed by the flesh and blood of the corpses.

The man who was rescued before ran away while screaming.

But immediately afterwards, he was kicked to the ground by Yuwen Yun.

Yuwen Yun grabbed him and threw him towards the monster.

Then, with Yuwen Yun himself looking shocked, he was swept away by the monster's tentacles.

The battle was not easy, but they still managed to get rid of the monster.

Then, after everything calmed down.

"I killed someone."

Yuwen Yun's expression was empty.

Even if he tried not to look at the people around him, he could still feel their fearful eyes on him.

It seemed that they were afraid that they would be the next person to be thrown into the monster.

Only the first children looked at him firmly.

"You are right."

"That kind of adult should not be saved. You just avenged Xiaocao."

Yuwen Yun grabbed his hair hard.

"But... but that's wrong! We all know this! "

He looked at his brothers and sisters with red eyes.

"If I gave up on Xiaocao like that man gave up Xiaocao's life so easily.

"Can I still be considered 'good'?"

Chi Xiaolu held his face and forced him to look at her: "You were just defending yourself. You just fought back reasonably for Xiaocao."

Yuwen Yun looked at him: "No, not really. It was not self-defense. At that moment, I really wanted him to die."

Hong Miao raised her hand to his shoulder, looked into his eyes and said:

"At that moment, we all were.

"We all wanted him to die."

Yuwen Yun was blank: "If we do this out of selfishness, is it right?"

The children's expressions were equally blank.

Then a blue light descended from the sky.

Tang Liu slowly fell down holding Xiaocao's body, which had been eaten by monsters.

The others looked at him in shock, awe, and disbelief.

And the children just gathered around and looked at him with an expectant and hopeful look.

Tang Liu looked calm, and in their eager eyes, he slowly shook his head.

"It's too late. Prepare a funeral for Xiaocao. "

The children's eyes dimmed one by one.

Until they saw Xiaocao's tattered body being put into a coffin and buried in the loess.

Some people shed tears silently.

And Hong Miao's eyes were red, staring fiercely at the people they had saved.

"Even if you have selfish motives, so what?

"Anyway, no matter how hard you try, you can't take back your hands that pushed her.

"We can't let her get up from the coffin and hug us again now.

"All of you listen to me, no matter who hurts others for their own sake.

"I'll be the first to throw him to the monster!"

A person who had just learned to speak stuttered and accused: "You, you are not qualified to do this!"

Hong Miao stared at him: "I am not qualified to control you, if you can't do it, get out, don't follow us anymore! "

The man lowered his head and said nothing.

Hong Miao turned and left.

The other children followed silently.

Soon after, they set off again.

They picked up more people in the team.

Then they were attacked by more dangerous monsters.

Someone else died.

The children, and other newcomers who had learned some martial arts, covered the escape of other weak people.

But at a certain moment, Hong Miao had just saved someone from the monster's tentacles, but was pushed towards the tentacles by that person.

The person who had accused her pushed her away again.

He could speak fluently.

He also learned boxing and kicking well.

But in the monster Under the tentacles of the monster, he still had no power to struggle.

"Protect others--"

He was just like the grass before.

He was instantly swallowed by the corpse of the monster.

Another funeral.

I don't know how many people it is.

The person who pushed Hong Miao huddled on the ground trembling, making meaningless begging sounds.

But Hong Miao and the others didn't look at him.

They just looked at the branches standing on the ground one after another.

Then, they took everyone away.

The person who pushed Hong Miao immediately got up from the ground and wanted to follow.

But he was held down by the last few people in the team, and then broke one of his legs.

They looked at the wailing man coldly, left him behind, and followed the others again.

Continue to embark on this road that is destined to be sacrificed.

And never-ending.

Tang Liu watched all this happen calmly.

It rained.

…

Who will judge, who will decide.

It has nothing to do with me.

I just need to know right and wrong, do and not do.

I just need to understand reason.

—— Immediately on the sixth day, learn about life and death, right and wrong, good and evil.

…

More and more people gathered.

The strong protected the weak, taught the weak, and then the weak became strong.

In order, with one heart.

Until even the monsters that attacked could no longer force them to flee in embarrassment.

The first children shared all the knowledge, and then the knowledge was passed on.

Everyone is a carrier, continuing life and spirit.

They gathered around the campfire to enjoy the spoils of hunting, and the tamed wolves shook their tails and ran around.

Then they held hands and danced, spun, and sang around the bonfire.

Then they hugged and said goodbye.

Going in different directions, to find and redeem more compatriots.

We parted ways, but our hearts are the same.

We are far apart, but we are still the same.

We are all human.

We have the same goal.

We share the same ideals.

…

- Then on the seventh day, they learned to unite, ideal, and inherit.

No.

They united spontaneously.

They embraced ideals.

They continued to inherit.

Thus they will always exist.

…

It's just that the dangers are never limited to civil strife and monsters.

There are also natural disasters that mortals can hardly resist.

The heavy rain fell for a long time.

So long that the water submerged the earth, and the survivors' rafts struggled hard in the rapids.

"We must find a mountain quickly!"

Hong Miao was soaked by the rain, holding the poles made of banana leaves on the raft and looking back.

The rafts of other people followed behind.

Some people's rafts could not withstand the rapids and fell apart immediately after hitting obstacles.

The people on the rafts also fell into the water.

Some clung to the floating wood on the water surface, while others were rescued in time by others nearby.

Some... sank into the water and disappeared completely.

The flood rose too fast, and the number of compatriots traveling together was decreasing.

But the area nearby was flat, and there were no mountains or rivers to stay.

The rain was heavy and the water was rushing.

If this continued, I'm afraid none of them would be spared.

Is this the end?

The children thought desperately.

And at this moment, another thunderous thunder rang out in the sky.

The explosion was so terrifying that it even made people lose their ability to think for a short time, and their brains went blank for a moment.

Then, everyone subconsciously looked up.

Then they saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.

The gloomy sky in the past was always covered with a layer of gray haze, so that the sun was not dazzling at all, and only revealed a decadent dimness.

Now the continuous heavy rain makes the sky even darker.

And now.

In the thick dark clouds, there is a huge hole.

It is like a huge hole in the sky.

Countless white air flows out from the hole. At first glance, it looks like a shocking white waterfall in the sky.

Connecting the sky and the earth, it is like a curtain of heaven falling from the sky.

Those gushing white air spread out quickly, like a huge wave, rushing in all directions with fangs and claws.

Even when the white air appeared, the rain became heavier.

The raindrops hitting people can even make people feel pain.

Everyone stared blankly at the incredible scene in the sky, not understanding what happened.

They also watched the white air that turned into huge waves rushing towards them quickly like the scene of the end of the world.

It seemed to bury everyone.

Is death still coming?

Will the civilization that has survived until now be completely destroyed?

"The last "day"... it's time."

The young man standing at the front of the raft looked up at the big hole in the sky.

Then a blue light gradually lit up on his body, and the dense rain could no longer penetrate his body.

His voice came slowly, awakening the children from their sluggishness and despair.

They heard the young man laugh softly.

"Speaking of which, I don't have anything to teach you anymore."

His figure slowly floated away.

"So, it's time to no longer need me.

"Where can you go?

"There is no need for an answer to this."

Because the fire of civilization has long been passed down.

The first "day" makes it "survive".

The second "day" makes it "enlightened".

The third "day" makes it "grow".

The fourth "day" makes it "powerful".

The fifth "day" makes it "noble".

The sixth "day" makes it "reasonable".

The seventh "day" makes it "eternal".

"As long as you continue, spirit and knowledge will not cease.

"Civilization will be immortal."

The young man flew high into the sky at high speed, leaving a winding blue trail behind him.

Like a snake's tail.

In the dull and panicked eyes of humans.

With dazzling blue light, he plunged into the huge wave of endless white mist.

Then, he rushed into the huge hole in the sky.

Blue light shines.

The surging white gas waves suddenly stop.

In the colorful clouds.

The hole in the sky disappears.

The dark clouds disperse, and the heavy rain stops.

The sky is bright and the sun is shining.

Only a few colorful clouds are left hanging on the horizon, shining brightly.

And the humans on the raft look up at the sky.

Their expressions are shocked and numb.

It turns out that the sky.

is really blue.

…

Finally.

On the eighth day.

Let go and return freedom.

Make them "brave".

"So from now on.

"It's your own way. "

...

Tang Wulin had not recovered from the shock of his uncle suddenly running to patch up the sky.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear something and tilted his ears slightly.

Then he couldn't help but put on a slightly excited smile on his face and nodded gently.

He looked at the children who had been with him for a long time.

Even though he had experienced many separations along the way, there were fewer and fewer faces in his memory.

But at the same time, there were more faces that left marks in his memory.

And once again, he deeply engraved each face in his mind.

Then he smiled:

"I should say goodbye too. But——

"I'm very happy to have this journey with you."

He waved to everyone who looked over.

Then.

A loud dragon roar sounded.

Tang Wulin disappeared.

But the divine dragon with golden scales all over its body soared into the sky.

Camel head, deer antlers, cow ears, lion mane, snake body, tiger paws, eagle claws, fish scales...

It looked like a chimera of many animals, but every part was so majestic and sacred.

It obviously has no wings, but it can tumble and fly freely in the sky.

And the appearance of its huge body winding and shuttling in the air is destined to be deeply engraved in the minds of humans.

Its dragon roar is also destined to shock the hearts of humans forever.

The golden dragon circled above everyone's head for a while, and then rushed straight towards the white gas wave that solidified in the air.

When its huge body was completely immersed in the white gas wave, the white gas wave began to roll soon after.

Then it turned into a turbulent vortex, constantly climbing to a high place, covering the sky and the sun.

Finally, there was only a violent whistle, and the white gas spread rapidly in all directions.

Until it was completely dispersed, it turned into a bright white light rain, falling on the earth.

The moment the white rain fell on the body, it immediately melted into the body.

A majestic force was also born in the lower abdomen.

Finally, it spread throughout the body.

They looked up in astonishment, but there was no figure of the dragon in the sky.

Only the echo of the dragon's roar was left, echoing in the world.

It lasted for a long time.

…

The white mist of light rain seemed to bring new life.

The desert suddenly turned green, and trees and flowers bloomed.

Even the rotten monsters grew flesh and blood, and their turbid eyes were clear.

But at the same time, it became more dangerous.

The tiny humans could only run away from the huge monsters.

Then, at the moment when their physical strength was exhausted, they became the monster's meal.

Just at this moment, several streams of light suddenly fell from the sky.

Then a punch was thrown at the monster, and ripples of light and color bloomed in the air, knocking the monster down alive.

Then, one person raised a stone axe high in his hand, shouted and chopped the monster on the head.

In the cold and sharp light, the monster was directly split in half.

After the two halves fell to the ground and struggled for a while, they were completely motionless.

The humans who survived in such an absurd way looked at the people who fell from the sky in a daze.

I can't understand why they glowed.

After killing the monster, those people also stared at their hands in a daze.

Then they said to their companions:

"We can fly."

...

The children gathered in front of the campfire, reminiscing about the past in silence.

Occasionally, they remembered something interesting and laughed quietly at the same time.

They ate the last barbecue and drank the last bowl of hot soup together.

Then they ran in different directions.

In the farther place, there are more people waiting to be saved.

They gathered survivors from all over the world, built tribes, and resisted monsters.

They taught fire and hunting, writing and communication.

They taught farming and medicine, and talked about beauty and morality.

Constructed the tradition of life and death.

And recorded everything.

Passed it on.

...

Just before they separated from each other and went to a farther place to pass on the fire of civilization.

The children found a high and flat cliff.

Then they carved dark clouds and an open sky on the cliff.

Someone dragged a long snake tail behind him and flew to the broken sky, bringing blue sky and sunshine.

Then the majestic golden dragon shuttled through the clouds and brought down the blessing rain.

It brought life back to all things.

It made the tiny human beings fly and hide.

So they were reborn.

"The ultimate mission (almost impossible to complete): finally with the fire of civilization: progress 50%"

Tang Liu took Tang Wulin to fly in the clouds and disappeared in the high sky, watching the civilization gradually rising on the ground.

Tang Wulin couldn't help but sigh: "It's great..."

Everything turned to the direction of endless life again.

"It feels like it's only been a few days, but why have they grown so big?"

Tang Liu smiled faintly.

The Golden Dragon King is still in the extreme excitement of having just manifested his true dragon body.

Although it was only a short-term gift from the Lord, the joyful feeling still remained in his bones.

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, he couldn't help but said loudly: "Stupid! Several years have passed here!"

The seven "days" during which the Lord preached and taught were actually seven years.

Tang Wulin didn't pay attention, but suddenly pointed to somewhere below and said excitedly: "Look, is that grass?"

Tang Liu looked over, smiled and nodded.

"Yes, it's Xiaocao."

A hole was broken in the sky, but a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth leaked from the hole.

Now that the wilderness has been broken, for those whose body meridians have been opened up long ago, even if the body has passed away, the resurrection effect of this initial chaotic spiritual energy can easily resurrect people, flesh and bones.

After that, there may be the first civilization of cultivators.

Until the day when the spiritual energy becomes thin and the world returns to the end of Dharma and the end of the world.

Whether the world will always be in reincarnation or not, Tang Liu doesn't care about the truth.

He just confirmed what he was trying to do in this world.

Already done very well.

"By the way, uncle, where did you take that Hydra from before?"

"Oh, you mean that Xiang Liu.

"Haha, I probably went to a certain island and became the Yamata no Orochi."

"What's that?"

…

Old wooden house filled with bookshelves and books.

Tang Liu silently walked to the empty blue light.
