Chapter 150: Forget the Past
Everyone told her that it never snowed in Wonderland.
But she clearly remembered that there was a heavy snowfall in Wonderland, so they asked her when it happened. She wanted to tell them immediately, but she had forgotten.
She firmly believed that it would snow in winter, cicadas would chirp in summer, flowers would bloom in spring, and maple leaves would be as red as fire in autumn.
They just said that the wonderland is like spring all year round, unless Zhu Su controls it with divine power.
It took her a long time to realize that the Zhu Su they were talking about was her.
But these were also what they said to her secretly. On weekdays, they just called her Immortal Lord.
She stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the flying flowers in the sky caused by divine power, like a snowflake.
When I closed my eyes, it seemed as if snow was falling in front of me. The sky and the earth turned white, and there were star-like human figures between the sky and the earth.
She wanted to run over to them, but when she opened her eyes, there was nothing.
Turning around, she was surprised for a moment when she saw the buildings in the sky and the distant mountains in the clouds.
This place doesn't belong to her. She clenched her hands and decided to leave, although she didn't know where to go.
When she was sandwiched between the men in black robes, her wrists were still held by them.
A woman lifted her hat and shook off the dew on her body. She had a faint fragrance. "Where are you going, Immortal Lord?"
"Get in the water."
"What are you doing in the water?"
Jiao Ran said in confusion, "I remember there was a path in the water."
The woman was suddenly startled when she heard her words, because if a person who has ascended to heaven deliberately does not take away his or her human memory, then he or she will be like a blank sheet of paper. What she said just now obviously meant that she had not forgotten everything.
And if she can't forget it, it will be really troublesome.
At this time, the woman sent a signal to her other companions, and they stepped forward together. Jiaoran's pulse points on both hands were clamped, and she could not use any of her strength. She tried to circulate her spiritual power, but it seemed to be sealed.
She vaguely heard someone calling her, "Do you hear me?"
She looked around several times, but could not see anything. No one saw what she was looking for.
Jiaoran suddenly felt hopeful and shouted, "Didn't you hear? Someone is waiting for me to come home."
When the Wonderful Realm people heard Jiaoran's words, they all sneered, "Home? This is your home. You've belonged to the Fish-Dragon Wonderful Realm since you were born."
Jiao Ran said in a deep voice, "Who are you? I guess you are not my family. My real family is waiting for me to return. Let me go!"
They no longer responded to Jiaoran's words, but listened to her voice, which became softer and softer. Suddenly, they heard her crying.
Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to do with her.
Even if she had ascended, she had only practiced for a few decades and was still a tiny baby in their eyes. If she had not passed the tests of the Ascension Tower and the God, she would definitely not be qualified to serve as the Bamboo Monastery of the new world.
Her crying was annoying, and at that moment, a white dragon emerged from the grass with two blood-red eyes.
"Jifeng, stop scaring me. Why are you here?"
Ji Feng transformed into a human form, passed through the crowd, and walked in front of Jiao Ran. Seeing her crying sadly, he asked, "Immortal Lord, why are you crying?"
When Jiaoran woke up for the first time, she saw that the person next to her was her. She only believed her. When she saw her coming, she was really surprised and happy. "I said I want to go home, but they won't let me."
"They also beat me, sealed my magic, and didn't let me fight back—"
Ji Feng flew into a rage before he'd even finished listening. He turned around and said to them, "How dare you! The Immortal Monarch was chosen by His Majesty and the elders, and she also recovered the lost secret manual for Wonderland. How dare you disrespect her! I don't know when Wonderland became such a filthy place."
Everyone knew that she had turned into a dragon, but for thousands of years, she was just a dragon, just a magical weapon. Zhu Su ascended to a higher cave and even abandoned her, which showed that she was a useless magical weapon.
Seeing their contemptuous looks, Ji Feng said nothing more, but suddenly rose up.
The sharp claws were like golden stars, flying forward.
At this time, the black-robed man standing in the front flew into the sky and started fighting with Ji Feng. He stretched out his hand and slapped the dragon's neck hard. Ji Feng let out a long hiss, flew to a higher place, and threw her down.
Seeing their companions suffer, the other people flew forward. Although they came fast, they were still no match for the sudden attack of the gust of wind.
As a result, the few people who were fighting in the sky screamed in pain and fell to the ground together.
The gust of wind was like a whirlwind, turning into a human form and standing on the ground.
Seeing that the dragon was difficult to deal with and had murderous intent, several people couldn't even breathe.
"Jifeng, we don't mean to embarrass the Immortal Lord intentionally. It's just that with the succession ceremony approaching, she keeps running around. The tribesmen have searched for her across the mountains and seas. Today, she's at the water's edge again, saying she wants to go back through the water."
Ji Feng's heart was sinking. "You guys go back first. I will bring the Immortal Lord back."
"yes."
"By the way, don't tell the elders about what happened today."
Ji Feng was anxious and angry, "The Great Elder and the others are looking for you, did you know?"
Jiao Ran said lightly, "What does it have to do with me? I don't want to go. Every time you say something I don't understand, you ask me to do things I can't do and don't like."
Ji Feng transformed into a dragon and let her ride on it. They rushed to the front of the Ascension Tower. Jiao Ran grabbed her dragon horn and asked, "Didn't you come to me to take me home?"
With a quick leap, he passed through the clouds above the Ascension Tower and landed lightly on the ground.
He transformed into a human form again and walked forward with Jiaoran. In the blink of an eye, they passed through several corridors.
In a hall.
Colorful clouds lit up the hall, and there were several chairs in the middle, with an armchair in the middle.
Three of the chairs were occupied; the others were empty.
As soon as he saw Jiaoran, he asked, "How was your practice today?"
Jiaoran didn't say anything and just found a chair to sit down. Jifeng quickly lifted her butt and pulled her to sit in the front chair.
An elder sitting there asked, "Why did you grab her hand? Did she get into trouble today?"
When Jiao Ran heard someone ask her, she immediately got angry, "Cause trouble? What kind of trouble could I cause? I just don't want to stay here. I want to go back."
"Go back? Back to where?" the person on one of the chairs asked her.
Jiaoran didn't know where he was going back to. "I don't know."
She only heard the person who asked her the question suddenly attack Jiaoran with a palm. This move was extremely powerful. As soon as the palm was launched, Jiaoran's body suddenly rushed to the right. She grabbed his wrist with her backhand. Although her spiritual power was insufficient, her skills were amazing. If she practiced for a while, based on her current talent, she would surely achieve great success in the future.
As soon as Jiaoran succeeded, he let him go. Seeing that Jiaoran seemed to be in a daze, but actually reacted so quickly, he couldn't help but be stunned, "I admire you."
Jiaoran was still sitting there, while this man was standing, alternating between sitting and standing.
Half a cup of tea passed before the elders left, and Ji Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who are they?"
Ji Feng couldn't help but look at her profile. Seeing that she had forgotten everything, he couldn't help feeling confused.
"blast?"
She realized, "They are all elders from the Ascension Tower. They don't come to the Fish Dragon Wonderland often. When they come, you just deal with them. The previous Zhu Su did the same."
"Is my name Takeuchi?"
Ji Feng said, "Yes, haven't you asked this many times? Why are you asking again?"
Jiao Ran said, "But I feel familiar and strange at the same time. I always feel like this is not my name."
Ji Feng's heart suddenly trembled, but he calmed down and explained, "Of course not. This was the name of the first divine servant who served His Majesty. All divine servants chosen after that have been given this name. When divine servants die or ascend to heaven, they leave their bodies in the bamboo forest, and the new bamboos serve as their tombstones."
Her voice was cold, but Jiaoran knew that she was the best person to her here.
Jiao Ran continued to ask, "Was I really born here?"
The doubts in her mind did not decrease as the days passed, but instead arose one after another.
One day, she asked again, "Well, everyone has a mother, where is my mother?"
Before she could finish, Ji Feng interrupted her, saying, "Someone will come to check on your practice in a few days. You'd better stop slacking off."
Jiao Ran snorted, "Although I ask questions every day, I'm also practicing all the time."
Ji Feng raised his eyebrows. "Also, don't ask again, who is your mother? Do you know where you came from?"
Jiao Ran said, "I really don't know anything. I don't even know who my mother is or who I am! But, precisely because I know nothing and can't remember anything, I have to ask more questions. Why don't you allow me to ask more?"
She had no choice but to explain that her mother was an ordinary woman from Miaojing who died in childbirth, that was all, and asked her not to ask any more questions.
Jiaoran felt that she was trying to put her off.
Jiaoran moved a chair and sat in front of an older woman.
The woman said, "The Fish and Dragon Wonderland has been built for thirty thousand years. During these thirty thousand years, we have been secluded from the human world. We do not interfere in worldly affairs, unless the fork of the river affects the flow of Baishun into the sea."
Jiao Ran listened to her strange and distant words and paused for a moment. "What is the human world? What is the mortal world?"
"Between the wonderland and hell lies the mortal world. There are countless worlds in the world, and every wonderland governs several mortal worlds."
"Are there people like us living there?"
The woman replied, "Mortals are more fragile than us. Ordinary members of the tribe can live for hundreds of years, while those who have practiced the Second Economy can even live for over five hundred years. Those who have ascended to the Immortal Realm, like the Immortal Lord, can even live for a thousand years. As long as they continue to practice, they can achieve immortality."
"How long can they live?"
“Even the longest-lived live only a hundred years.”
"A hundred years?"
"Exactly."
The woman continued, "Mortals suffer, struggling for a meal and a drink, just as beasts go hungry if they don't hunt, and birds go hungry if they don't catch fish."
Jiao Ran's body trembled violently. "Then why don't we send the leftover food here to the mortals?"
She was completely unmoved by Jiaoran's words and continued indifferently, "Because if they are not hungry, thirsty, tired, or toilsome, they will begin to do evil, so—"
"So we have to cast spells every once in a while to make them suffer, hungry, thirsty, and in pain?"
The woman said, "No need. Even if we don't intervene, mortals will still rise to war every few hundred years. Greed and desire, jealousy and hatred are ingrained in the hearts of mortals. So what we need to do is save them in time and find a way to stop them when they are about to kill each other due to their evil thoughts."
Jiao Ran said, "If we were no longer in the Thirty-Three Heavens, wouldn't all the mortals have died long ago?"
The woman smiled and glanced at Jiaoran. "There are no ghosts in Hell, no gods in Heaven, and whether there are still mortals in the mortal world, no one knows the answer. However, over the past thousands of years in Wonderland, several people have fled to the mortal world. Since then, the people of Wonderland are forbidden to enter the mortal world for life. This is the rule of Wonderland. Unless you have the order of a god or elder to travel to the mortal world, experience tribulations, and save mortals, otherwise you will be considered to have escaped from Wonderland without permission."
Jiao Ran was horrified and couldn't help asking, "What will happen to those who escaped secretly?"
The woman's voice immediately turned cold as ice. "It is said that it crushed the immortal bones and turned them into ashes."
Jiaoran couldn't utter a word and turned to ashes. He didn't know what kind of torture it was, but turning into ashes was definitely not a good thing.
After the woman left, a man and a woman each brought her two piles of books. They were whispering to each other, but when Jiaoran came over, they stopped talking.
Regardless, she still wanted to escape.
As the days passed, this thought became stronger and stronger.
She always felt that someone was waiting for her somewhere and she had to leave.
But she herself didn't know where to find that person after leaving here.
Her cultivation attainments were already strong, and with the attentive guidance of the people in Wonderland, she soon made even greater progress. These past few days, while cultivating, she observed that Wonderland was surrounded by dense forests. Beyond the dense forests, divine birds guarded the tall trees in the barrier. These divine birds transformed into human forms upon landing, each possessing considerable magical power.
It is definitely impossible to force your way out, you can only sneak out.
The sky was extremely dark and the moon looked particularly bright.
Under the bright moon, Jiaoran sat alone on the stone.
The longer time went on, the more depressed she became.
Just as she was about to stand up, she saw someone standing behind her. Jiaoran stood up suddenly and shouted, "Who is it?"
A young man with silver hair. Jiaoran could tell that he had considerable spiritual power. It seemed he had never been seen before in Wonderland. "Who are you?"
When he heard Jiaoran's voice, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
Jiaoran didn't know whether it was an enemy or not, and rushed out!
The moment she flew away, the man followed her closely.
The two men moved swiftly in the dark night.
He passed over Jiaoran's head and stood in front of her.
Jiaoran had just turned to look at him, but now she suddenly saw that he was standing in front of her. She screamed in fear, "Ah! What are you - a demon or a monster?"
