1829 But I Feel As If An Arrow Is Penetrating My Hear (1/2)

The Firmament Stone was glowing in seven colors to protect Gu Xijiu who was in a deep sleep. Gu Xijiu had no idea how long she had been out; perhaps, it was one whole day or just a few hours. Some movements awakened her.

”My Lord! My Lord…” The sound penetrated her brain like magic and traveled into her mind to wake her up.

She slowly opened her eyes. Gu Xijiu looked a little slow-witted as she fixed her eyes at the starry sky. Slowly, she sat up and shifted her gaze to the four people who knelt in front of her. Those were the four messengers, the guardians of The Lord.

She then scanned around the surrounding. She frowned as she wondered why she was there alone.

Which crystal palace was she in at the moment? Who built it? She felt dizzy and slowly got up as she pressed both sides of her forehead with her fingers.

Mu Feng heaved a sigh of relief as she got up. ”My Lord, it's too cold here; it's better for you to get on the shore.”

Gu Xijiu nodded in acknowledgment. Indeed, her entire body was freezing. However, she had the habit of familiarizing herself wherever she went. Therefore, she walked around the place and read all the words written there. Suddenly, she was stunned as she stopped in front of a huge rock. She softly read the words. ”One has gone after he has done his part without leaving any footprint as a proof.”

She frowned as she could recognize her own handwriting. Besides that, she had written a long poem. Was she under a spell when she did so? Why would she do so?

Her gaze stopped at the character, 'Fu Yi', and her heart ached when she read it! Instantly, she felt a shadow flash across her mind. Unfortunately, it disappeared soon enough when she wanted to focus on it.

Nonetheless, the ache in her heart did not disappear. Suddenly, she realized that her eyes were as swollen as two walnuts! Apparently, she cried before she passed out. She also had a sore throat, and she remembered her voice was hoarse when she spoke earlier.

She was wondering how she could cry to the extent her eyes were swollen this way. It felt like she has been crying her heart out, but why? In fact, she still remembered that she cried, but she could not recall the reason.

Again, her gaze stopped at the poems. She remembered herself trying her best to carve the poems before she fell asleep as if she wanted to remind herself about something.

Gu Xijiu then noticed her fingers and saw that there was a relatively fresh blood stain. Besides that, she also realized there were some words on the rocks written with blood. Initially, she felt those words were too messy and wanted to remove some. However, she was somehow drawn to the words, and it kept affecting her emotions.

Instead of erasing the poems, she applied some cream on her fingers, and they healed almost immediately.

”Why am I here?” She asked Mu Feng with a hoarse and calm voice.

Mu Feng heaved a sigh of relief. ”My Lord, you have been acting a little strange since you returned from the forbidden land with the Purple Cloud Mushrooms. You couldn't stop searching for someone, and then you rushed out from the Biwu Palace.”

”Who was I looking for?” Gu Xijiu wondered. She remembered that she wanted to find someone so badly, but she could not recall who.

Mu Feng stumbled as he forgot about the name of the person Gu Xijiu wanted to find! Therefore, he answered, ”I guess it was just an illusion from the forbidden land; you didn't mention a name.”

Gu Xijiu did not continue asking after that.

”So, who built this?” Gu Xijiu asked.

Mu Feng shook his head. ”It's too old; I guess some ancient people should have built it?”
