Before Song Ning's
voice had died away, the skies changed abruptly. The crimson clouds turned
dark, the lightning flashed and the thunder rumbled. A ghost dragon appeared
out of the dark clouds with its head as big as a mountain.
The ghost-dragon glowered
at Song Ning with a howl.
Howling!
The disciples were
shaken by the tremendous howling with blood oozing from the seven orifices of
their heads. Their ears rang and spots danced before their eyes, and they could
hardly sit down.
The old Taoist looked
at the situation grimly and raised his hands to hit forward.
The dragon rolled
its large eyeballs and its eyes finally fell on Song Ning.
"Immortal elder, why
did you hurt my disciples?" asked the old Taoist. While he produced a treasure
and cast a spell, a light film formed between him and the dragon. The film
helped the old man defend against attacks from the dragon.
The dragon snarled
angrily and opened its big mouth to bite, "Untouchables, go to hell!"
The light film
collapsed instantly under the attack of the dragon. The horrible dragon opened
its fierce-looking mouth so wide that it seemed to swallow the whole Taihe
Mountain. The old Taoist drew back and slapped himself across the top of his
head. A blood fog rushed out. He immediately became weak but he didn't stop
casting spells. A magic sign formed. The blood light turned into a
one-meter-long bloody sword and rushed to cut the ghost dragon.
The long bloody
sword bore through the dragon's head. The dragon howled, "Hand out him, I will
spare your lives."
The old Taoist was
pale and became weaker. The blood gushed out from his body and infused into the
sword. Although he was weak in body, he had a high spirit. "Such a poor Fa
Xiang, how dare you hurt my children? You will not take what you want! "
"Puff!" The long
bloody sword chopped down the dragon's head, and it exploded suddenly with some
force produced.
A fierce gale
sprang up and the whole Taihe Mountain was almost devastated.
The ghost dragon
dissipated and the dark clouds dispersed. The crimson clouds hung in the sky.
It seemed that nothing happened.
Song Ning got up
from the ground and looked at the ruins. His adoptive father stooped on the
ground like an aged man. Song Ning's eyes shone and he threw himself into his adoptive
father.
"Father!" Song
Ning wanted to hold the old Taoist up, but he dare not touch him. He was afraid
to cause his adoptive father any pain.
The old Taoist
looked at Song Ning kindly. As soon as he opened his mouth, blood gushed out.
"Father, you,
don't speak."
"Ning, what did
you dream about?" The old Taoist's voice became weaker.
"That dragon
killed a woman. She told me something before she died. She asked me to go to
Tianhe City and deliver a message. Her soul entered into my body ." Song Ning answered
quickly.
The old Taoist
breathed difficultly and his head trembled softly, "Leave…leave for Tianhe City
as soon as possible, the Fa Xiang of that dragon will formed again. I have
nothing for you…this…"
Before the old Taoist
even finished saying, his hands hung down and he died with a broken ancient
mirror in his hand which was a heritage to Song Ning.
Song Ning felt his
heart tighten and he kneeled down to make a kowtow to the old man.
The memories
flowed as freely as spring waters. He felt as if his heart was cut in many
pieces.
He was adopted by
the old Taoist when he was three years old. During the past thirteen years old,
he hadn't cultivated hard but lived like a freeloader. The old Taoist took him
as a biological child, however, …
"Father…father!"
Song Ning punched the rubbles, his fists bleeding.
"Senior brother,
senior sister, our adoptive father is gone! Our adoptive father is gone!" Song
Ning cried and tears blurred his eyes.
He cried for a
long time but no one answered. He looked around only to find that there was no
other living creature except himself on the top of Taihe Mountain.
Ah!
Song Ning cried
into the air. His sound echoed in the valley and scared the birds and beasts
within it.
The autumn wind
was soughing over the ruined Taihe Mountain summit. His hair blew with the wind
while his sorrow was never blew away.
One dream caused a
massacre to his school…
