"Boom!"
The flames on Sister Zombie's body suddenly erupted, and a faint green flame rushed up. Lei Tong subconsciously took a step back as the fire sprayed on his face.
At the same time, Sister Zombie, who was lying on the ground, suddenly bounced up. She used her remaining right arm to hit Lei Tong's chest heavily, sending him flying three to four meters away. He fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood three feet away. Sister Zombie, who was covered in thick smoke, did not chase after him. Instead, she ran away without looking back.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
Lei Tong crawled up from the ground and threw his magic sword at Sister Zombie's back. Sister Zombie staggered and fell to the ground. Lei Tong was about to go forward to finish her off, but suddenly, there was a commotion outside the Mountain God Temple. He turned around and saw a large group of people rushing in. When Lei Tong turned around again, there was only a pool of black blood on the ground, and Sister Zombie was nowhere to be seen.
"Damn it!"
Lei Tong stomped his feet angrily and walked towards them. Just as he was about to speak, the old man in the middle slapped him in the face and ordered the young men who followed him, "Tie this little bastard up for me."
"Liu Feng, you!"
Lei Tong was a little confused, but he knew something was wrong when two young men grabbed his arms. He thought to himself, "This Liu Feng must be looking for a scapegoat. I can't just let him tie me up!"
"Get lost!"
Lei Tong shook his arms and threw the two young men five to six steps away. They fell to the ground on their butts. Lei Tong took a step forward and stared at Liu Feng. As a result, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed on Liu Feng's chest and dyed his clothes red. He covered his chest with both hands and fell to the ground with a scream.
"Dad, it's him. It's Lei Tong. This bastard wanted to rape Liu Weina. I saw him and he even hit me!"
Liu Zhaocheng, whose face was covered in blood and who was missing two front teeth, squeezed out from the crowd and shouted while pointing at Lei Tong who had fainted on the ground.
"Mm, send Liu Weina home first and let Doctor Liu take a look." The old man, who looked 80% like Liu Zhaocheng, looked at Liu Weina who had fainted on the ground and said. Immediately, two or three young men helped Liu Weina and retreated to the side. "As for Lei Tong, lock him in the ancestral hall and punish him according to the clan rules when he wakes up!"
"Yes."
Liu Zhaocheng agreed. He grabbed Lei Tong by the neck and lifted him up. His eyes were filled with venomous hatred, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
Du Kang didn't say a word as he watched everything unfold in front of him. It was like watching a movie, watching Lei Tong being dragged down the mountain like a dead dog. Everything in front of him returned to darkness, leaving only the endless sound of wind and rain.
"Don't you think that person looks familiar?" Gongzi Yu stepped out of thin air, his black robes fluttering in the wind.
Sniffling, Du Kang touched the tip of his nose with his finger. "I think that Lei Tong looks a little like me. Please don't tell me that the unlucky Lei Tong is my previous incarnation."
"Of course not." Gongzi Yu landed in front of Du Kang and gently waved the white paper fan in his hand. "What you saw just now was my dream."
"What does that have to do with me?"
"You still don't understand. Forget it, all of this is fate. When the time comes, you will naturally understand the cause and effect of this day."
Gongzi Yu Weiwei shook his head. He folded the paper fan in his hand and spun it at his fingertips. The surrounding environment changed accordingly.
The blue sky was clear as if it had been washed, there were no clouds in the sky for ten thousand li. From afar, the lush green mountains could be seen, and up close, the green pines and cypresses could be seen. A mountain stream was gurgling beside their feet. Du Kang and Gongzi Yu were standing on a piece of flat land halfway up the mountain. Behind them was a circle of green bamboo fence and three thatched cottages.
"The environment here is not bad."
Du Kang took a deep breath. Although everything was fake, the birds sang and the fragrance of flowers were vivid. He felt a cool and comfortable feeling in his chest and couldn't help but want to roar.
Gongzi Yu pointed the paper fan in front of him. A stone table and two stone stools rose from the ground. He gestured to Du Kang. "Today is a rare opportunity. You and I should have a good talk."
"Of course, of course."
Du Kang imitated Gongzi Yu and sat on the stone stool. He picked up a cup of tea and blew on it. It was refreshing. "The tea is clear, fragrant but not greasy. It's a good tea. It's a pity that all of this is illusory. It can't be taken as real."
Gongzi Yu held a teacup in his hand and drank the tea in one gulp. He turned the teacup to face Du Kang. His lips curved into a playful smile. "How do you know that everything here is illusory?"
"This …" Du Kang looked at the teacup in his hand and then at Gongzi Yu. He took a sip of the slightly hot tea and felt the fragrance of the tea lingering in his mouth. "This … this feels no different from real?
Wait … I'm a little confused. Let me sort it out … "
Du Kang tried to pinch his arm. He grimaced in pain. "It hurts. It's real. Damn it. It's all real!"
Du Kang jumped up from the stone stool. He didn't even notice that the tea in the cup splashed all over him. Gongzi Yu, who was pointing calmly, stuttered in excitement. "What … what the hell is going on?!"
"Hahaha … hahaha …" Gongzi Yu chuckled. He raised his hand and waved it in the air. A pitch-black crack appeared in the air. The edge of the crack was pitch-black. Through the crack, Du Kang saw himself leaning against the wall of the confinement room. He was holding the token given by Gongzi Yu and sleeping soundly. "What's real and what's fake? Everything is fake. Everything is fake. How do you know that the world you're in isn't an illusion? How do you know that this place isn't real?"
"This … this …" Du Kang was deeply shocked by everything in front of him. In the past, he only heard stories and watched movies. Now, he suddenly experienced it himself. More than 20 years of materialistic science education had been deeply rooted in Du Kang's heart.
The situation in front of him was beyond common sense. Du Kang was dumbfounded.
Gongzi Yu waved his hand and wiped away the void. Everything returned to normal. He reached out and grabbed Du Kang's shoulder. Just like that, the two of them continued to rise. They passed through the atmosphere and got rid of Earth's gravity. They didn't stop until they stood in the universe.
Du Kang stared blankly at the Earth under his feet. It was a blue irregular sphere, and its surface was covered by moving and changing clouds.
"How do you feel?"
Gongzi Yu let go of Du Kang's hand and tugged at his black robe that didn't have a single wrinkle. He pointed his paper fan at the boundless universe. "Think about it. This isn't the only one. Earth is just a node. Countless times and spaces overlap and separate. The past, the present, and the future. Humans aren't as insignificant as you think, but they're definitely not as powerful as the modern people think."
Du Kang, who was in a daze, blinked his eyes twice. His heart was in turmoil. He couldn't find any words to describe his feelings at this moment. That kind of shock, that kind of transcendence, the ecstasy of breaking free from the cage, and the endless fear after the ecstasy.
"Where did I come from, and where am I going? Who am I?"
Du Kang murmured the three questions that troubled countless sages and sages in this world. Since ancient times, no one could give an exact answer to these three questions.
