Vol 2 Chapter 230: : Stones and fish

Monkey King fell, leaving no traces in the sea of ​​blood.
The sea of ​​blood became more deserted, and even the gods were gone.
The girl is a bit lonely. She no longer loves to sleep soundly on a flat boat, but plays with a hair at random from time to time.
That is Monkey King's hair.
I don't know how long it took for the girl's interest in playing with hair diminished slightly.
Her eyes swept across the chaos, and she suddenly gave a soft voice.
She found that there was light shining in the chaos.
"The ants in that ruin actually survived."
That little ruin has long lost its celestial power and heritage.
Unexpectedly, those ants not only survived, but also thrived and created a new civilization.
In the Three Realms, the gods and Buddhas have long since disappeared
Thousands of spring and autumn cycles, mountains and rivers took away the remains, trees smoothed the scorched earth, and many people gathered together to work together to build a huge city.
The city is full of sparks, and it can be bright all night, as bright as day.
Outside the city, two children are playing by the river with a luminous stone.
This is the stone they dug out of the soil.
The boy told his younger sister: "This is called a rune, and our city was built with it."
"But it's so small, and it glows weakly."
The girl asked: "Why is it so powerful?"
The boy lifted the scrubbed stone above his head and faced the sun: "These small stones gather together to emit a very bright and bright light, illuminating the entire city at night."
The girl looked at the stone: "Why does it glow?"
The boy scratched his head and said, "I don't know either."
"It's a wise man."
A voice sounded.
The two children turned their heads and saw waves spreading across the river, and a white fish swam to the shore.
"Every time a wise man in the world realizes a truth, a stone will shine."
The fish popped his head out and said in a bubble, "The more truths they realize, the more shining stones."
The boy and the girl looked at Yuer together: "What is the truth?"
"Truth is an immortal doctrine."
The fish raised his cheeks and wagged his tail: "I'm collecting truth, can you take me around this city?"
The two children were curious about the fish, so they found a small pot to store the fish, and put the shiny pebble with it.
They run around the streets with small cans every day, and they begin to search for the truth.
Yu'er has collected a lot of truths, it has taught brothers and sisters a lot of truths, and occasionally tells his own stories.
"I have seen a chess player who said that as long as we write down all the truths, we can light up the whole world."
Yu'er said: "He is very smart, he must have lit up a lot of stones, but unfortunately he only likes to play chess, and he refuses to take me on a long journey."
"I also walked with a Taoist priest. He can make many magical things, but he is stinky and he likes to wear flowers all over his head."
Although full of complaints, Yu'er can't help but feel happy when it comes to the past.
It has been traveling for a long time and has met many, many people and many, many things.
Both brothers and sisters are a little envious.
"But why are you collecting truth?"
The brother and sister asked Yuer, "Do you want to light up the whole world?"
"Do not."
Yu'er is always happy, but when they ask this question, it will show a sense of loss and never answer.
One day, it finally said.
"I want to go to the sun."
Get on the sun?
This answer scared the brothers and sisters two by one.
"You are a fish, why do you want to go to the sun?"
"correct."
My sister was very curious: "The sun is a big fireball, what can be up there?"
"There are answers to the world, but none of you found out."
The fish leaned half of its body out of the water, looking towards the sky with glowing eyes.
A long time ago, when it was just born, the sky and the earth were dark for a time, and all life was passing away, turning into black ashes and floating between the sky and the earth.
It wasn't until one day that a beam of light shone, and the world brightened.
The mountains and rivers have become warmer, and life has regained vitality.
Since then, the sun has been shining on the earth. It is the sun during the day and the moon at night.
Where it shines, there are luminous stones that are excavated.
"I am a special fish. Since the sun appeared, I will never die, and I will never forget."
Yu'er told the two brothers and sisters: "The sun has been protecting me. I believe that the light from all the stones on the ground comes from above. It is protecting everyone."
"The light from the stone comes from the sun?"
The children looked at the fish, whose eyes were big and wise.
It knows so much truth, even if this is a bit weird, the two brothers and sisters are still willing to believe it.
"Then how to get to the sun?"
They asked.
It's a pity that Yuer doesn't know this question.
It had asked the birds before, and they couldn't fly that high.
It once asked the old tortoise, and they haven't seen anyone in their lifetime.
"I think it must have something to do with the truth."
Yuer said: "Maybe one day, as the person playing chess said, when I have collected all the truth, I will be able to ascend to the sun."
It likes the sun. As long as it thinks of getting on the sun, the fish will swing its tail happily, splashing the water of the two.
The brothers and sisters giggled and avoided, joking happily.
They live happily with Yu'er like this, looking for new truths every day.
They thought that this kind of life would go on forever.
Until one day, there was thunder in the sky, and thick dark red clouds spread across the sky.
Flames flowed through the red clouds, and the flames fell like raindrops, covering the entire city.
In less than half a day, the city was turned into a scorched earth and became silent.
The city was destroyed.
In the sanctuary, the girl just breathed a sigh of relief at the ruins, and dispelled the white light gathered by the ants.
"But why should you care about them?"
The girl puzzled, it was the saints who asked her to prevent those rays from gathering.
But the ruins were almost gone, the gods and Buddhas were no longer born, and Monkey King's chess pieces could not be protected for long.
Why do saints care about what the ants do?
"That's a saint, maybe I just don't like the dust on the chessboard."
The girl thought to herself, and then casually retracted her gaze.
Of course she didn’t notice, in the dust and smoke, the boy crawled out of the ruins with the fish.
"I should leave here."
Yu'er looked around sadly, the city was completely destroyed, and there was no more shining stone.
Without those stones, the people who survived will leave soon.
The boy looked at the ruins, and his sister stayed there forever.
He held back his tears and said to the fish: "I want to find the truth with you."
