Chapter 14: Little Shiba's Fantasy to the Eyes

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

West Mountain Entrance, Misty Mountain.

Scattered corpses lay in a mess.

The mountain became more and more desolate as a burst of chilly wind blew. In the coldest time of winter, corpses were frozen to become hard objects and any blood that was above the ground was frozen by the chilly wind in just half a day. All of a sudden, a burst of gloomy and cold wind blew over.

That burst of strange wind was extremely cold. When it blew across the corpses all over the ground, the frozen corpses that were made slight cracking sounds like breaking sticks.

All of the corpses in the entrance of the West Mountain were cracked by that sudden frigid wind. As the wind blew, the corpses were being eroded. Finally they broke apart.

While the corpses were eroded by the frigid wind, the body of the Elder which was thrown away by the mysterious youth underwent an amazing change.

The Elder's body made cracking sounds as the frigid wind blew over it. But with the last sound, the skull of that body suddenly broke. A puff of black smoke came out of the skull. This black smoke became thicker and thicker and darker and darker until the point that it was about to be coagulated. In the entrance of the mountain, the wind was blowing mightily. The black smoke was nearly blown away into dust. It was carried off by wind for several feet and then seemed to exert a force around it which caused the wind to stop.

There were blasts of cold wind, blowing back and forth incessantly. Tough as the wind was, it couldn't resist the unchanging natural force. In this endless cold wind, the black smoke dissipated to a large extent. Finally it rode down the mountain on the cold wind.

The crack of the morning sun slowly peaked over the towering ridge and shone down on that little village at the foot of Misty Mountain.

Like a baby's face, the weather in the mountain changed with uncertainty. Yesterday, dark sky covered everywhere and the wind blew all around. From time to time, there was even a snowflake falling down from the sky, but today's weather is as if the bright sun is about to rise.

Little Shiba woke up very early. He had been lying in the bed for many days due to the wound and felt uncomfortable because of not being a martial arts. What unpleasant days!

Today his fever finally dropped. He felt refreshed after a sound sleep and all constraints were relieved in one moment. Softly Little Shiba got up and went to a vacant space under the cliff in his courtyard to play Taiji Fist.

Different from the past, he played the simplified Taiji Fist twice, but neither was unhindered. There is an old saying that 'Heart goes with consciousness and consciousness goes with Qi'. Anyhow, he couldn't combine his consciousness with Qi. It was not because of too many distracting thoughts, but rather because he could clearly feel the Qi and blood flowing in his tendons and vessels when playing.

In other people's opinion, Little Shiba was heavily injured with a terrible fever and in a coma. As a matter of fact, he did not sleep at all for two days. His whole spiritual mind and soul was in a wired state which was caused by his eyes.

When Little Shiba was going to be killed by that black bear, his eyes underwent mysterious and even marvelous changes. He was not able to detect anything special when he was in danger. However, when he was in the coma, he felt like he was in a dreamland. He floated up to a hollow. This place was like a universal image he watched in the previous life which was filled with darkness and emptiness, nothing but one eye.

Later he realized that this eye was very likely to be his eye.

A huge eye was floating in the hollow. It was golden. In the bottom of the eye, there were several wisps of strange black lines which emitted golden light. The golden light was the only illumination in the hollow.

At that time Little Shiba felt like he had become a ball of mist floating in the hollow. He could take control of his 'body'. The body could move at his will to some degree but it could only move around for a bit.

He had tried to move to that huge eye once. But no matter how hard he tried, the huge eye kept hanging above his head and a constant distance remained. He doubted whether he managed to move at all in the mysterious hollow. The so-called movement was only an illusion in his consciousness.
