On
the top of Taihe Mountain with clouds flying around, the setting sun was
shining with glorious rays which bled into the skies and burned the clouds.
Atop
the mountain, a white-browed old man with big eyes seated in a floating cattail
hassock. He was teaching a dozen disciples a lesson of Tao techniques
eloquently.
"There
are three thousand ways to cultivate the Tao while all ways lead to the same
goal. Choose one way to cultivate and you will attain the Tao. You…"
The
disciples were sitting up properly with high spirits and listening to their master
carefully. Amongst these disciples, the youngest Song Ning also gave his whole
mind to the lesson although he couldn't fully understand it.
However,
his eyes grew heavy and he fell sleepy as he listened to the master. Finally,
he nodded in sleep.
For
a moment, a cool breeze awakened him. He opened his eyes only to find that he
was on a colorful cloud. Looking around, he was surrounded by immortal energy
in a vast clouds ocean which was like a fairyland.
Song
Ning flew in the clouds cheerily.
Boom!
Suddenly,
a tremendous noise shocked him into tingling and the surrounding clouds into shattering. The immortal energy backflowed and
immediately the fairyland dissipitated.
Song Ning stablized his body and found that a woman in
colorful dress was fighting against a dragon which was so ferocious and
aggressive.
The dragon opened its large mouth and rushed to bite the
woman's waist. The woman was struggling to resist, but a moment later she was
lashed by the dragon's tail.
The women's body was thrown into inverted flying like a
falling star. In the blink of an eye, she dropped in the front of Song Ning.
Song Ning saw her at a glance only once, however, he was
astonished by the woman's extremely charming face. The woman was so pale and
the corner of her lips bleed a little. This bleary-eyed woman showed nearly no
life breathing.
Song Ning believed that she was dead, but her eyes opened
suddenly as she nearly flew past him.
She stared at Song Ning with liquid eyes and lips moving. The
words from her lips transmitted into Song Ning's brain and those words seemed
to be carved in his heart.
Immediately, a subject like a soul rushed out from the
woman's body to Song Ning's body.
Then some force following by the soul pushed Song Ning back.
The dragon shooted a glance at him when flying past him. It rolled its eyes and
kept chasing the women's body.
Song Ning's eye follwed it but his body couldn't help drawing
back. The space around him seemed to be stretched and his vision became
blurred…
Hissing!
Song Ning waked up and jumped up from the ground.
It startled the disciples around him and then they burst into
laughing.
"Song Ning, I am teaching you the Tao techniques. You fell
asleep again, boy." The old taoist on the cattail hassock
pretended to be angry。
"Little junior brother, you slept for a long time. When you
wake up, our adoptive father finishes teaching."
"Ha ha, little junior brother, what did you do last night?"
Senior brothers and sisters smiled at him. It was not the
first time for him to sleep when their adoptive father taught. Today it is so
strange that he even stood up from sleeping.
However, the situation in Song Ning's dream still lingered in
his mind and several large golden characters shone in his heart. He heard
nobody talking.
The Taoist noticed something was wrong with Song Ning's look.
He immediatedly flew to Song Ning and asked, "Ning, what happened?".
The old man's sudden coming startled Song Ning and he raised
his head in a could sweat, "Father, I made a dream just now that…"
