Chapter 453 - Divine Inspiration (II) (2/2)
Lin Luoran can’t figure out why a man with such a temperament would save Momo in the first place. This man in robe totally ignores the outside world—maybe the only one he really cares about is actually himself.
Lin Luoran remembers the first time she meets Momo. Before the little girl disappeared, she shed tears and said to herself, ” ‘Lin Luoran’ is really a better name than ‘Momo’. Is this the type of name he likes?”
Momo also asked her to help with taking care of the man in robe.
Thinking of Momo’s ambiguous words and that the man in robe saved Momo from a desperate situation in the past, Lin Luoran can easily tell the attachment in Momo’s tone. She must fall in love.
However, even though Momo left the sacred pearl to her for some reason, Lin will not fulfill Momo’s wish out of grat.i.tude.
Firstly, this man doesn’t need anyone to take care of him. Secondly, he is actually a heartless person. Momo’s love can only become unrequited.
Lin Luoran brings her attention back but Momo and the man in robe have disappeared.
It is dark. The table is still there by the lake. Momo hasn’t learned how to write yet. Maybe she will still be here tomorrow? Lin Luoran comforts herself. She holds her knees against the big rock and just sleeps this way for a night. When Momo appears again in the morning light, Lin Luoran finally relieves.
Momo still practices the word she wrote yesterday. Lin Luoran observes for a long time. From the beginning to the turning point, she keeps the word in her mind.
When Momo is practicing, Lin Luoran also follows her. She always thinks about going back in the beginning but now she gradually calms down. Maybe because she and Momo have completely different temperaments, she can feel that she has caught up with Momo. Lin now can really write this word figure the meaning of which she hasn’t known yet.
Momo comes here alone for a few days. Without the man in robe, she neither looks at deers coquettishly nor complains about how hard this job is. She settles down and practices hard. The word figure she writes becomes strong and clear. It almost jumps out from her fingertips and turns into rain.
Lin Luoran can’t influence the vegetation of this world. Except following the memory and feelings to write it in the air, she can’t know what she has exactly learned.
After practicing for a few days, Lin Luoran can feel Momo’s progress. The little girl is not very satisfied. Finally. she persuades the man in robe to come to the lake again with her.
“Can you show me again for the last time, please?”
Momo wants to see how the man in robe writes the word figure. Lin Luoran also feels very strange. How can she practice writing without the original copybook and just by writing by the lake all day?
The man in robe can’t stand her and just waves to the clean lake.
The sparkling lake disappears and a piece of blank paper flies back to the man in robe. Where the lake was now is a low-lying gra.s.sland.
Lin Luoran pinches herself. She has never doubted such a large lake in these days. It turns out it is actually a copybook! There is a reason why Momo has been practicing writing by the lake these days.
In addition to figuring out the spirituality of the lake, the copybook given by the man in robe is actually this lake.
Life is so ridiculous and it can always make people burst into tears!
Even Lin Luoran almost wants to cry, she still comes closer “shamelessly”. She keeps the word figure written by the man in robe in her mind and almost wants to swallow or pack away the paper.
“If you can make it more and more like a lake, you can practice the next word.”
The man in robe checks the results of Momo’s practice over the past few days and speaks highly of her.
Momo holds his original version and doesn’t look very excited, “I feel I still have a long way to go. What I wrote is not like what you wrote.”
The man in robe laughs, “Without enough personal ability, you cannot support the word figure. You haven’t entered the Laying Foundation period. Just be patient.”
Momo is now really happy.
Lin Luoran sees the interaction between the two people. She remembers that she was far out of her league when she peeped at the man in robe writing the golden figure. She didn’t even know what the word was. Momo can practice the word “lake” before she enters the Laying Foundation period. At that time, Lin Luoran was also not in the Laying Foundation period but she got a headache even just by trying stealthily.
Momo is right. The words the man in robe taught her are enough for her to be free in the world and don’t have to pay attention to anything else—at least, the word figure written by the man in robe has the power to shake the world.
Lin Luoran’s expectation surges. She really wants to know the next word he is going to teach Momo.
