Chapter 64 - Dreamland (1/2)
On lofty mountains with eminent peaks, tall broad-leaved ancient trees cast a ma.s.s of shade. Between the sky and the earth, pure and energetic Reiki are flowing.
Mist circles around the cliffs. The planet is mostly covered by ocean. Miasma is rising. There are numerous birds and beasts as well as strange flowers and magic plants.
Tigers with wings, giant snakes, golden hawks whose wings can shade trees, and big toxic toads with bulging back… The clear and fresh mountains live together with toxic and miasmatic swamps. This is the time when intelligent animals first appear on earth.
There is no human on the planet yet. Until one day, a figure in wide-sleeved robe shows up on the cliff. The figure stands alone on the peak. Long hair is fluttering, but no one can tell whether this is a man or a woman.
In front of the figure, tigers lower their head, hawks land on the ground and giant snakes come to wors.h.i.+p. All the toxic insects flee away and hide.
The person in robe turns a blind eye to the ambience. Right hand raised, fingertips move and draw the same pattern which Lin Luoran has drawn unconsciously!
On the beautiful wrist, a bead is glowing. It seems to be emitting more light than the sun in the sky!
Gold gleams gather in the hand of the person in robe and become brighter. The hand, the bead, and the gleaming gold pattern are the only things left in the world— the magnificent world is almost overshadowed by the splendid magic arts!
Lin Luoran feels that she is standing behind a barrier, like a pa.s.ser-by. She just nervously watches the person in robe performing Taoist magic arts.
Her instinct tells her that the gold gleam in the hand of the person in robe seems to have the ability to destroy or disorder the world! Standing on the other side of the barrier, Lin Luoran unintentionally wants to imitate that person’s action. However, the second she moves her fingers, the person in robe appears to notice her presence. The person looks back to Lin Luoran across thousands of years of time—
Lin Luoran’s head aches. She feels like being thrown out of a world in a second and opens her eyes!
White walls and white sheets… Is she herself lying on the hospital bed?
The nurse who is changing Lin Luoran’s IV notices that her eyes are open. The nurse says in surprise, “Miss. Lin, you are awake?”
Lin Luoran nods. She first does a simple check on her body and finds that thanks to the bead, her meridians are filled with Reiki once again. Lin Luoran breathes out after knowing that she is alright, “How long have I been in a coma?”
Her voice is cracked because she hasn’t spoken for a long time. She sounds unlike her usual clear self.
The nurse swiftly changes the IV and says softly, “Miss. Lin, you have been in a coma for five days.”
Five days? How is Baojia doing… Lin Luoran doesn’t know about Baojia’s situation and she is somehow scared to ask.
She is afraid that the nurse may give her bad news. While she hesitates, the door of her ward is open and the soldier called Lu Sanchun comes in with a basket of flowers. Seeing that Lin Luoran is awake, he grins.
Then, like something occurs to him, Lu Sanchun salutes to Lin Luoran.
“Miss. Lin, so great that you’re awake!”
