158, side two
Tongran's tour has gone from Yanshi to Jiangcheng, from the United States to Finland, and now to New Delhi, India.
Today is May 10th. Ten years ago on May 10th, Tong Ran woke up from the stairwell and became a different person from then on.
The past physical body has long since returned to heaven and earth, and the empty tomb left in Jiangcheng is visited every year. But few people know that the owner of his current physical body, an eighteen-year-old boy named Tong Keran, also died suddenly ten years ago.
the day before.
Tong Ran was resurrected through Tong Keran's body. Every year on this day, he would pay homage to Tong Keran, and he had been doing this for ten years.
But this year, he wanted to do something different.
The night before the special performance, Tong Ran came to the banks of the Ganges.
The long and winding river originating from the Himalayas has nurtured thousands of years of glorious civilization. Even today, thousands of years later, it is still one of the most important symbols of the Indian plains.
The banks of the Ganges River are quite lively at night because a night festival is being held here. Men in traditional Indian costumes hold magical instruments and dance a sacrificial dance that has been passed down for more than 3,000 years under the illumination of the blazing sacred fire.
Hindus from all over the world and tourists from all over the world crowded here. Tongran watched in silence for a while, then walked to a relatively secluded corner.
Homeless people sat scattered on the steps, staring numbly at the lights in the distance.
The light barely shines here, just like their dark lives.
Tong Ran walked down the stairs holding a river lantern. The wick was covered with chrysanthemum petals. It is said that as long as the flame is lit, the gods will come, help believers dispel ignorance and darkness, and protect them from nirvana and rebirth in the future.
He squatted on the bank and gently sent the river lantern into the river.
The river was pitch black, with only this river lantern emitting a weak light source.
No tourists stopped, and no one around them took a second look. There was only an old woman ringing a bell, smiling kindly at Tong Ran, as if blessing her.
Tong Ran smiled back, and under the gaze of the old woman, she made a moving movement toward the river lantern. The river lantern suddenly accelerated its movement, as if it was pushed farther away by an invisible force.
The old woman looked surprised. Some tourists passing by accidentally saw this scene and were stunned. When they saw Tong Ran's face clearly, they were instantly stunned by the huge surprise.
"dedi? Ahhh, it's dedi!!!!!"
"Where is it? Is it really Dedi?"
"Oh my god! It's really him!"
…
Tong Ran raised her index finger to her lips, and the crowd immediately fell silent.
They didn't know whether Dedi was here to make a wish or perform magic, but in either case, it was not appropriate to disturb him.
Tong Ran pointed towards the river, and a river lantern lit up in the direction he pointed. He moved his fingertips lightly and changed the direction, and there was also a bright lantern there.
Like magic, wherever he pointed, the river lantern would light up.
More and more people noticed the movement here and flocked over one after another, and the river lanterns that lit up one after another gradually took on the shape of the Big Dipper.
Extending outward from "Tianxuan" through "Tianshu", another river lantern lights up, corresponding to the position of the North Star.
Just when people thought that Tong Ran wanted to use the river lantern to draw the stars, he suddenly straightened his arms and slowly pushed them to both sides.
In the middle of the river, countless river lanterns were lit at the same time and gradually spread to the surroundings. In just a few seconds, the river surface was already bright and still spreading.
When Tong Ran opened her arms completely, the orange light shone everywhere in her field of vision, and it was vast and vast. It was like looking down at the night of the city from an airplane, and it also seemed like the reflection of the endless Milky Way.
"So beautiful..."
Some people murmured with emotion, as if they were in a sacred dream.
I don't know who blew the shell horn, and the sound swirled around the quiet river, like the whimpering of the soul in the river.
"Little P, do people really have an afterlife?" Tong Ran suddenly asked.
"Theoretically not, but the essence of the soul is an energy body, and a certain manifestation of the law of conservation of energy is close to the reincarnation in your perception."
"Did Tong Keran enter reincarnation?"
"Sorry, this program does not have the right to track."
Tong Ran looked at the lights all over the river and said silently in her heart: Although you can't see it, if there is an afterlife, may you be protected by the gods and be reborn in Nirvana.
Lucy was still in a daze when he woke up. The vast starry lights in his dream seemed to still be reflected in his eyes, making him uncomfortable with the darkness in front of him.
Moonlight leaked in through the holes in the roof. Lucy lowered her eyes and stared at her palms. They were very white and thin, and they were still the hands of a child.
But in the dream world, he is already eighteen years old, living in a clean and bright house, wearing clean and warm clothes, and having sufficient and rich food.
His name is not Luci, his name is Tong Keran.
Everything in the dream was so real, so real that he seemed to have experienced it himself. Even when he woke up now, he still continued his adult thinking, still remembered the unfamiliar language and words in the dream, and remembered that he covered his heart and fell.
The next scene.
"Squeak——"
The girl pushed open the door and entered with a kerosene lamp. It was his sister Leah.
"Lucy! You're awake!" Surprise appeared on Leah's pale and haggard face. She hurried to the bed and hugged Lucy hard. "God! You finally woke up. You have been in a coma all day.
!”
Affected by the dream, Lucy subconsciously wanted to avoid Leah's touch, but when she smelled the familiar smell of Leah's arms, her body became more dependent on her than her brain, and she leaned softly towards him.
Leah cried with joy, "Lucy, how do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Lucy comforted: "I feel good."
But his hoarse voice was not convincing, so Leah worriedly said: "When the sun comes out, I will ask Pastor Garcia for a glass of holy water."
Lucy frowned in repulsion, and suddenly realized that in the world he lived in, holy water was not a charlatan's patent, but that it really had magic power and could help him recover as soon as possible.
Yes, the dream world is very wonderful to him, but the real world is equally incredible to people in the dream world, because magic does exist here.
And the reason why he fell into coma was also because——
"Lucy, promise me not to look for them again." Leah was frightened when she thought about Lucy's dying appearance when she was carried home, and she pretended to be strong and said, "I'm already in the same family.
?We have found a job in the bakery, and we will have a stable source of income from now on."
Lucy lowered her eyes and remained silent.
His and Leah's mother died young, and his father was a businessman who loved them very much. But when he was seven years old, three years ago, his father was killed when he went out.
Gloucester moved into their home?.
Six months ago, Luther awakened his magical talent and was admitted to St. Peter's Academy of Magic. After that, his aunt revealed his true colors and not only seized their family's property, but also drove him and Leia out of the inner city.
Leah was only three years older than him. It was difficult for two and a half-year-old children to survive, and they could only do some dirty and tiring work in the outer city.
Yesterday, when he was moving fish at the dock, he accidentally bumped into Luther who was returning home for vacation. He was so angry that he approached him, but he was attacked by Luther with water balloon skills and fell into the river.
If he had not dreamed, he would have been very unwilling. Even if he almost drowned, he would still want to take back the family property and want his aunt's family to be punished.
But the experience in the dream made him grow overnight? He knew that from the day Luther woke up, he could only let go of his unwillingness.
Because in this world, magicians are a symbol of power and status. Once you are promoted to a junior magician, you can also obtain the title of Viscount.
Their relatives hope that a noble will be born in the family, and their father's friends do not want to offend the promising Luther. No one will help the two children who have lost the protection of their parents to seek justice.
Unless, he and Leia can also awaken.
But only one in 100,000 people has magical talent. He doesn't think he has such luck?
"Lucy? Luci?" Seeing that Luci suddenly started to be in a daze, Leah became nervous again, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Lucy shook her head, feeling depressed.
No matter how beautiful the world in the dream is, it does not belong to him now.
His situation will not change in any way because of this dream——
"It is detected that the host is eligible for program binding. Do you agree to the binding?"
A cold voice suddenly sounded in his head. Lucy was startled. Before she understood what happened, she subconsciously asked: "Who are you?"
"The full name of this program is the 'Great Magician App', which aims to cultivate the best and greatest magicians in each plane."
