The ox cart was very stable, and Du Heng could not feel the cart moving at all. But when he looked out the window, he could see the scenery falling backwards very quickly. It was hard to imagine that this was the speed that an ox could run. Du Heng ran to the door and lifted the curtain to take a look. He saw that the ox was pulling their cart slowly, as if it was taking a walk.
Du Heng was a little confused: "Xuan Yu, I think the cow doesn't walk fast, but why do I feel that the car is faster than me when I'm sitting in the car?" Xuan Yu sat upright in a chair by the window with a cup of tea in his hand. Hearing what Du Heng said, he explained: "Because we are sitting in the car, we are in the cow's territory, so we don't feel that he is running fast. The scenery outside is fixed, and using it as a reference, we will feel that the cow is running fast."
Du Heng thought about it, maybe the principle is similar to when he takes the high-speed train? It feels like that when he is sitting on the high-speed train, but when he stands outside and looks at it, it just goes by in a flash.
Du Heng shrank back in his chair and dared not speak. What kind of magical place had he come to? He tried his best to shrink his buttocks in the chair, not daring to sit on the entire chair, for fear that his humble buttocks would defile the high-end furnishings in the car.
"Bang——" Something broke! Du Heng was shocked. The things in the carriage were too valuable. He couldn't afford to pay for anything that was broken. But he quickly realized that he was sitting quietly, so it was definitely not him who broke it! As expected, he looked in the direction of his sight and saw Xiaoxiao jumping onto the antique shelf next to him. He pushed a large blue and white vase outside to the ground with his butt, and then climbed up again without giving up.
In the upper grid is a jade landscape sculpture. Even someone like Du Heng, who has little knowledge, can feel the majesty of this jade sculpture. The top of the jade sculpture is emerald green, and the sculptor has carved the green part into undulating mountains. There is also white water flowing next to it, and there is undulating emerald green water below. If such a sculpture was placed in the era before Du Heng, would it be sent to a museum?
Xiaoxiao pulled the jade sculpture with one claw, and he pulled the sculpture out of the shelf with force. The jade sculpture hit the ground heavily, and the green mountain and white water broke apart, smashing out broken jade all over the ground. Mixed with the broken blue and white porcelain from before, the antique shelf was in a mess. Xiaoxiao laughed happily and was ready to climb up.
Du Heng quickly took Xiaoxiao down from the shelf and said, "Xiaoxiao, this is not right." Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes and said, "Chirp?" Du Heng said, "Although this is something from your uncle's house, it was also obtained through hard work. It would be a pity if it was damaged."
Xuan Yu said slowly, "There is a formation in the carriage." Du Heng was puzzled: "What?" What is a formation? Du Heng quickly flipped through the original owner's memory, and he soon understood that the formation was a thing constructed using the five elements of spiritual energy. There are many types of formations in the world of cultivation. Some can greatly increase a person's strength, and some can suppress the enemy's strength. In addition to being used in battle, a large number of formations will be used in life.
For example, the simple cave that Yun Zhonghe gave to Du Heng is a kind of formation.
Xuan Yu snapped his fingers, and the fragments on the ground quickly pieced together in front of Du Heng's eyes. The scattered blue and white porcelain fragments turned into a gorgeous large vase, and the broken jade pieces became a majestic landscape jade carving. They were lifted by the spiritual light and returned to their original positions on the antique shelf. If Du Heng hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he might have thought that what had just happened was his hallucination.
Xuan Yu said, "Xiaoxiao will throw things when she is in a bad mood. His uncle has set up formations everywhere in the house. You don't have to worry." Du Heng was embarrassed, but he still said to Xiaoxiao seriously, "Xiaoxiao, it is wrong to throw things. Although there is a formation in the car, if you throw things when you are in a bad mood, there will always be some things that will be broken without the protection of the formation, and then you can't put it back together. Do you understand?"
Xiaoxiao chirped at Du Heng twice, as if to tell him that he understood. Du Heng rubbed Xiaoxiao's head: "A good child is one who knows his mistakes and corrects them~" Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and laughed.
Du Heng asked Xuan Yu in confusion: "Speaking of which, why did Xiaoxiao run away from home? Does he have a bad relationship with his uncle?" He remembered that when Xuan Yu came to find Xiaoxiao, he said that Xiaoxiao ran away from home. Aren't you afraid of danger for such a little kid running away from home in the snowy Dongji Mountain?
Xuan Yu said: "Whenever the uncle and nephew are together, they will quarrel. Xiaoxiao must have felt wronged and was angry so she came out." Du Heng rubbed Xiaoxiao's head with heartache: "There is an uncle who would argue with such a cute nephew." Xiaoxiao's uncle must be narrow-minded and unreasonable.
After hearing what Du Heng said, Xiaoxiao stopped throwing things. He squatted on the low table between Du Heng and Xuan Yu, looking out the window, chirping from time to time.
Xuan Yu was a quiet person, so Du Heng was too embarrassed to talk to him. To avoid an awkward atmosphere, he focused on Xiao Xiao and the scenery outside the window. Whenever Xiao Xiao chirped, Du Heng would look out the window, and every time he would discover some magical scenery.
They seemed to be climbing higher, and Du Heng found that there was a white cloud-like mist around them, and the trees that had just retreated quickly seemed to have disappeared. Du Heng looked out the window, and apart from the mist, he could not even see the ground.
Du Heng couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Are we walking in the clouds or is there a thick fog outside? Won't the cow get lost?" Xuan Yu said: "No, don't worry, it will take you to the village safely."
Du Heng lifted the curtain and took a look at the cow. He couldn't take his eyes off it!
That silly cow was actually flying! Yes, it was flying! Its originally dark blue back turned light blue in the sunlight in the sea of clouds, and with the patterns on its body, it looked like a fish. A pair of wings grew on both sides of its belly, and in the sunlight, the wings shone with a light blue luster. Looking closely, the wings were not the feathered wings of the birds he was familiar with, but were crystal clear like fish fins.
The cow's hooves disappeared in the white smoke. Du Heng couldn't see it clearly. He felt that the cow's limbs had turned into fish fins. A small vortex appeared in the smoke under the cow, as if it was stirred by something. Du Heng saw a light blue fish fin passing through the smoke.
Du Heng felt terrible. He stammered, "Xuan...Xuan Yu! Niu...Niu's appearance has changed!"
Xuan Yu was calm: "This is how it flies, don't be surprised." Although Xuan Yu said this, Du Heng was almost surprised to death! This was the first time he saw a cow flying in his life! What was this? Was the cow really flying in the sky?
And is it a cow or a fish? It is a cow, but now it looks like a fish. It is a fish, but the cow's nose is still blowing air, which cannot be faked.
Du Heng was a little dazed. Since arriving in the Taixu Realm, everything he had seen and heard was beyond his understanding. However, he should have expected that people could practice and fly with swords, so what was the big deal about seeing some magical animals?
Seeing that Du Heng was a little stunned, Xuan Yu explained, "Actually, it is a kind of fish, but it looks like a cow. This spiritual beast is called a 鯥兽. Although it is rare, it does exist." Du Heng nodded: "Oh..." Anyway, he didn't understand, so he believed it just because Xuan Yu said it casually.
Seeing that Du Heng still looked confused, Xuan Yu explained: "It is indeed a fish, but it doesn't like to stay in the water. It likes to climb ashore to bask in the sun and daydream." Du Heng:...Yes, I'm stupid, you can just fool me.
Xiaoxiao started chirping in Du Heng's arms. Du Heng asked, "What did Xiaoxiao say?" Xuan Yu said, "Xiaoxiao said that the cow stole his fruit last time and ate it, and he lost, so he was very angry."
Du Heng:...Forget it, as long as you are happy.
The clouds around him became thicker, and Du Heng felt weightless. Xuan Yu put his hand on Du Heng's back: "How do you feel? Is it uncomfortable?" A heavy spiritual energy flowed into Du Heng's body, and Du Heng immediately felt that the dizziness was much better. Du Heng shook his head: "No." Like taking an elevator, after Xuan Yu's hand moved away from Du Heng's back, Du Heng still felt Xuan Yu's spiritual energy flowing in his body.
Du Heng thought for a moment and asked, "Are we flying to the sky now?" Xuan Yu nodded, "Yes, we are going to cross Dongji Mountain. If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me at any time." Du Heng smiled and said, "Thank you."
Xuan Yu actually smiled faintly: "You're welcome." Du Heng didn't know if it was his illusion, but Du Heng felt that Xuan Yu suddenly relaxed at this moment, and became more friendly in his steadiness.
Suddenly, the cow mooed loudly, and Xiaoxiao also chirped to remind Du Heng. Du Heng opened the curtain and looked out, only to see the ox cart rushing out of the thick fog. At this time, Du Heng saw a scene that he would never forget.
The 鯥兽 was like a fish jumping out of the water, but it was not jumping out of ordinary water, but the vast sea of clouds. The sea of clouds was boundless, and the surging clouds were like waves in the sea. White was originally only a fixed color in Du Heng's eyes, but in the sea of clouds, he saw deep and shallow white. Those high and low clouds piled up, and each cloud had its own posture.
On the white clouds, there is a long mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles. The bottom of the mountain range is covered by the sea of clouds, and only the mountain top covered with snow is exposed. The mountain top and the sea of clouds merge into one, but you can tell the difference at a glance. The clouds are soft and flowing, while the mountain top is motionless.
The place where the 鯥兽 jumped out was right between two mountains. Du Heng looked up and saw that the two mountains were as majestic and tall as the stairs to heaven. They were like a speck of dust in the vast ocean. For a moment, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Xuan Yu said: "This is the safest way to the village. Although the road is a bit far, it is calm all the way."
It took Du Heng a long time to come back to his senses, but the first question he thought of was: "Xiaoxiao, how did you run from the village to the foot of the mountain?" Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and let out a whooshing laugh. It seemed that before Du Heng could understand Xiaoxiao's meaning, he could only guess on his own.
