52. In the name of desolation
This happened without warning.
It's as abrupt as if you're eating at home and suddenly a meteorite falls down.
The disaster came too suddenly, just one step too late, you can get the slate and touch the truth.
But it's too late, and I accidentally lose all the games, and that's the current situation.
Even Hai Changjin, Yu Qiuyu, and even Yu Yanli didn't expect this kind of ending.
Yan Li couldn't see anyone else anymore.
There is no doubt that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has become a second sinkhole, and in his feeling, this "sinkhole" is deeper than the abyss, as if it will never fall to the end.
He kept going down, never to the end.
Why is this so?
Isn't the mission a failure in this situation?
Even if he was a powerful cultivator, unless he could fly, if he fell from such a high place, he would undoubtedly fall into flesh.
But he didn't fall into flesh, and according to the speed at which the earth collapsed, his falling speed should have caught up with the wreckage on the ground a long time ago, but there was not even the wreckage, as if the entire Eastern Zhou had been swallowed by an inexplicable existence.
If there is no failure, there is still a chance.
He forcibly pulled out of his frustration, emptied his brain, and began to think carefully.
But thinking can't change the status quo, because if he could think about the key to solving the problem, he would have completed this task a long time ago.
It's not good to think, but it's impossible to remember.
According to Yu Shenji's prompts several times, either explicitly or implicitly, the truth seems to be hidden in the details.
Carefully recalling the conversation with Yu Shenji.
A bright light suddenly flashed in his mind, and he remembered that Yu Shenji had a meaningful smile, which always puzzled him.
Yu Shenji's original words at the time were "The truth is in your hands".
At that time, he was holding in his hand a small piece of token with only a dragon-shaped relief, and the first thing that came to his mind was, of course, the mutilation of the token. Incomplete things naturally need to be completed, otherwise how to get the complete truth.
With the appearance of the second slate, he was more sure of his guess, so he did not doubt the so-called truth.
In retrospect, it may well not be the case at all.
He took the token out and looked at it carefully.
After a while, I suddenly felt a shock in my heart, as if I understood something.
The content of the second slate is actually not important, but it just makes them step up the pace of finding the slate, and in order to strive for the top, they will do it without being reminded by it. And the token formed by the second stone slab, although the little things are really visible, they are like ruins and broken walls, but the small dots can only show charm, of course, they can't depict the shape of the real ruins.
Looking more closely now, I realized that I had taken it for granted.
Because of his preconceptions, he always thought that the dragon underneath referred to the dragon vein, and with the information that the power of the dragon vein was abused, he thought that the content depicted on the token was to express the formation of the sinkhole.
But what's the point?
What is the significance of the existence of the token?
So the dragon at the bottom should be the world itself. The world is struggling in pain, and little by little, it is not a ruin, but a falling star.
If you think about it, there is no rationality for the existence of this world at all.
Take the Viper Forest as an example, it is also a place where starfall beasts are rampant, but those natives seem to have never encountered it, they don't know what cultivation is, and most of them will die when they encounter starfall beasts, how can they still thrive?
Since it is fiction and does not exist from the beginning, then the so-called slate, the so-called truth, are all illogical things.
And all the truth is actually the reality in front of you.
What is the reality in front of you?
Yan Li closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had stopped his downward momentum, as if he had stood on top of the real world.
The real world is dark, cold, desolate, and endless.
At the foot of the foot is the endless barren stone mountain, at a glance, there is not a single grass or tree within a radius of thousands of miles, the earth is full of criss-crossing huge scars, boring and dry, without any vitality at all.
In the sky, there are only a few stars left that should be hanging high in the sky, and the remaining ones are also dim, as if they will fall at any time.
It's a world of death.
Pain, sorrow.
"Where is this?" Huang Shaoyu's voice sounded.
Yan Li broke free from the desolate atmosphere and found that Huang Shaoyu and the three of them were here, and it seemed that everyone in his group could "survive".
"Here is the truth. Yan Lidao.
"The truth?" Huang Shaoyu said in amazement, "What the hell, what the truth, I think it's more like the Demon Domain." ”
"This is the truth we are looking for. Yan Li saw that the other two people were also puzzled on their faces, and had to be more detailed, "That is, the real content to be expressed on the token." ”
"The world that has been destroyed?" Lian Hai Changjin glanced around, only to feel indescribably shocked, "How can this be, is it metaphorically something?"
"I don't know. Yan Li said, "But if it is really related to the dragon vein, then it is likely to be related to the origin of the talisman. ”
The crowd fell silent.
Speaking of which, in the end, you can't escape the word Fu.
And the Hidden Garden itself is actually composed of talismans, so how can we explain its birth? Is it also a kind of abuse of the power of the dragon vein? Wouldn't they, who participated in the trial, become accomplices in the destruction of the world?
A series of associations swirl in everyone's mind.
"That's not right!" Huang Shaoyu said suddenly.
The three of them looked at him in unison, thinking that he had some high opinion, "What's wrong?"
"Why are we still here?" Huang Shaoyu did not disappoint this time, "If we have found the truth, why didn't we have a hint to complete the task, would we have to be trapped here all the time?"
Yan Li thought for a moment and shouted, "Yu Shenji, what the hell is going on?"
But Yu Shenji's voice didn't sound in his head.
"Who are you talking to?" Huang Shaoyu said sympathetically, "Could it be that the task is too difficult and burns your brain." ”
Yan Li rubbed his eyebrows, and said weakly: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." ”
"The third slate. Yu Qiuyu said suddenly.
Lian Hai Changjin's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palm and said: "Yes, although we have found out the truth of the world, the collection of stone slabs is not complete, and there must be something missing." ”
"Where can I find the slate now?" Huang Shaoyu looked around and said blankly, "If we can't find the slate, will we always be trapped here?"
"No, it won't. Yan Lidao.
"How do you know?"
"Look. ”
The crowd followed his line of sight and found the black-robed man who had snatched their slate.
