A extra 02: The big brother in the willow tree (middle)

In the dark void world of the eighth layer, there was no longer a golden energy state pillar structure, but instead there were countless combinations of golden or silver energy balls, which followed some great law, combined and operated together.

Every seven small silver energy balls rotated rapidly around the golden big energy ball, and in the process of spinning, thousands of golden curves splashed out of the golden big energy ball, slowing down in the process of floating around, and drifting far away, hidden in the darkness.

Tang Chengyong realized that those curves may not have disappeared, but were far, far away, forming the seventh layer of energy pillar that he had passed through before entering, perhaps because it was too far away, and his consciousness was too small when he was in it, but he couldn't see the whole situation.

In other words, at this moment, He fully understood that the road under his feet was the "structural path" that led to the inside of the Xuanxian.

The initial complex mood was replaced by curiosity, and he desperately wanted to go deeper, to know whether the inside of the Xuanxian is infinite or finite, and if it is finite, then what is the most microscopic thing that constitutes the Xuanxian?

Next, on the rugged "glass plank road", the mysterious energy continued to flow forward. He walked through countless "structural gates" in turn, layer by layer, and came to the inner line, deeper into the microcosm.

It was a long process, but fortunately, as a spirit being, and "walking" with consciousness, did not feel tired. At the same time, he also discovered the structural law of "seven simple and one complex" - every time he went deeper and deeper layer by layer, after walking through the seven simple and shocking "simple spaces", there would be a complex, sophisticated, and can't help but marvel and praise the "divine space".

Yes, divinity! As a science student, he felt divinity for the first time because of the world itself.

Spectacular structures, mysterious laws, impeccable self-consistency, and unmistakable complementarity, whether intuitively viewed or understood and deduced from the perspective of thinking, these intoxicating "structures" themselves reveal the insignificance to the insignificant, and show the infinite to the infinite.

Things that can completely shake a person's heart and mind often expose the inadequacy and redundancy of language.

He lingered for a long time in each of the structural spaces, and a terrible thought came to him: the belief in revenge, in the midst of these vast, silent structures, was too small to mention. He even wanted to live forever and ever, and he walked down this path, looking and feeling, until he reached the end of time.

There, what will there be?

When he walked through the seven layers of simple structure space and entered the next divine structure space, the "glass plank road" that continued to widen to both sides along the way had almost become a large boundless "glass floor", with only dozens of giant "springs" beside him, trembling slightly, scattering a large number of subtle and dense light in all directions, floating to the distant upper layer, becoming an energy field.

At this time, Tang Chengyong lost his reference, and he didn't know how far the distance was between these dozens of giant "springs", but guessing from the number, the closest one to the largest spring in front of him was also incredibly far away, like seeing the moon from the earth.

He felt that he was now in this vast and empty microcosm, like the Voyager probes that humans sent into space forty years ago, although they took almost half a man's life to fly, but in the strict sense of the word, they still did not fly out of the solar system, and it would take a long 40,000 years before they could meet another star.

The distance itself is full of incomprehensible divinity.

Almost in a pilgrimage mood, he came to the giant golden "spring" in front of him, and the disappearance of the energy flow on the ground seemed to hint to him: this is the end.

This "spring" was much taller than any magnificent structure he had ever seen in his life, and when he stood in front of it, his own insignificance and the magnificence before him made him almost cry. It is like a macaroni wrapped around invisible chopsticks, and the surface of the "energy pipe" that spirals upwards flows with the energy of the five colors of green, yellow, red, white, and black, and the inside of the pipe is actually empty.

The energy on the surface of the "spring" flows, making the whole "spring" like an excited heart, trembling, jumping, and even as if with some kind of joyful rhythm, it throws scattered divine light around.

With the greatest piety, Tang Chengyong stepped into the "energy pipeline" inside the giant "spring". At this moment, He felt like an ant in a train tunnel that had been magnified tens of thousands of times, and it was shrunk tens of thousands of times.

Gold, silver, and all the colors were gone, and in the dead silence and darkness that was neither up nor down, and without direction, He saw only an infinite number of them: himself.

Thousands of "Tang Chengyong" are like some kind of ethereal projection, showing him something in all directions, with different movements. At this moment, His heart had a rich and wonderful understanding—

First of all, he felt that the "self" he had come along the way had disappeared and become a part of the countless selves around him, one being innumerable, innumerable being one, and in his later description of Wu Xiaowu, it felt like: "The universe itself is me, and all matter, including the body itself, is nothing more than a lower, low, and limited container." ”

Secondly, although the projection of the "self" around him is not very stable, in a very short period of time, the "self" that he can see shows him many ways to change his own soul. Soon, he tried to turn his conscious self into a droplet, a plume of smoke, or a puddle of fog spreading out with his newly realized thoughts.

Again, no matter how large or small He and the countless "selves" become, or how small they become, the "energy pipes" inside the giant "springs" seem to change, in other words, there is no big or small thing. He even doubted that the end of the macrocosm was the microcosm, and so on and so forth, lost the meaning of the "end" itself.

When Tang Chenyong's spirit body retreated his head next to the Xuanxian and reopened his eyes, he had already mastered many techniques of using the Xuanxian, because he saw with his own eyes inside the Xuanxian and between his "thoughts" and "springs", producing an indescribable, but perceptible "spirituality", echoing each other, causing the body in his consciousness to change.

He had thought that this "structural journey" should have taken at least two or three hours, but when he saw that the ponytail girl who had fallen was getting up and rubbing her legs before he entered the Xuanxian for the second time, he realized that all the experiences just now only took a second or two.

The ecstatic Tang Chengyong returned to the willow tree, and the curly-haired brother disappeared again. He thought to himself that this was the power in the dark that arranged for the kind big brother to guide him, protect himself, and complete the final revenge.

This is the third important turning point in Tang Chengyong's heart after he made up his mind to take revenge and was almost shaken in the Xuanxian - he did not allow Pang Lin's dirty, evil soul to lead the students to "divinity" in human skin, and he was not qualified to walk on the path of that mysterious and holy structure!

He wants to gamble everything he has immediately, immediately, to strangle Pang Lin! If such a demon is allowed to continue to oppress and "shape" innocent students, then this is the greatest defilement of the world with divinity!

In the days that followed, he would come to the lake every day to look for the eldest brother, but he never saw the eldest brother squeeze his head out of the trunk of the tree.

He had no choice but to lurk on the side of the undergraduate dormitory on the east side of the lake (which had been replanned when Wu Xiaowu entered the school), looking for timid and ghost-scared people among the many male dormitories on a certain floor.

In the past few days, while skillfully using various spiritual transformation methods, he traveled back and forth throughout the campus, and gradually narrowed the scope, and finally locked on a fellow student named Zhu Jian, and followed him inseparably.

Zhu Jian is very popular in the dormitory, but he is more afraid of ghosts than ordinary timid boys. Tang Chengyong took advantage of the several times he fell asleep to try to integrate into his spirit body incompletely, causing Zhu Jian to have nightmares for several nights.

In those days, Zhu Jian was preparing for the exam, and there were no bullies of Sun Zhi's type in the dormitory, so Tang Chengyong also liked the students in this dormitory very much, as if he had returned to his life and his years in the undergraduate stage.

Out of apology for Zhu Jian's nightmares, Tang Chengyong first used a semi-integrated state and used his own thoughts to give Zhu Jian some inspiration for studying, reviewing, and memorizing, and finally let Zhu Jian achieve the first place in the whole grade in that exam. Afterwards, Zhu Jian was also puzzled, as if his brain had suddenly been kissed by God.

After the exam, the buddies in Zhu Jian's dormitory went to eat and carnival together, and the next day everyone packed their bags and bought tickets to prepare for the upcoming holiday. That is, on the evening of the next day, when Zhu Jian finished his last meal in the cafeteria of the semester and went for a walk by the lake, Tang Chengyong followed him and found the right time to completely "overlap" with him after he stood still.

The moment he entered, he felt that his spirit body seemed to be completely integrated with some extremely dense liquid substance, and the spiritual energy of himself and his younger brother was like a calm lake suddenly stirred up ripples by a stone, and the spiritual energy of the younger brother began to appear temporarily disturbed.

If you look at it from Tang Chengyong's point of view, the five spiritual abilities of the junior brother broke the conventional arrangement, and at this time, they circulated in the body in a flowing way. At this moment, He felt the thoughts of his younger brother, and the younger brother also felt "strange thoughts" from Him.

The junior felt a chill all over his body, and in a panic, many memories appeared in his mind that had never happened at all, and these memory fragments seemed to be related to a boy he had never met, but there was also the face of Professor Pang Lin who he knew.

Just when the junior brother was puzzled and had a great panic in his heart, Tang Chengyong further used his mind to suppress and control the junior brother's mind, and within a few seconds, he was already able to control the junior brother's body and limbs, raised his legs and took two steps forward, and with the help of the junior brother's throat and mouth, he tried to say the word "rope".

Before I had time to rejoice, I saw that there was a lot of mysteries above the lake that suddenly began to move! Those mystical lines eventually formed an irregular entrance, and behind them appeared a mystical passage leading to the sky and even penetrating the atmosphere!

Followed by a huge misty black ship, in the faint moonlight, in a mysterious and shocking posture towards him, this scene made Tang Chengyong forget the curly-haired brother's advice, the black boat and the entrance close to the lake, and about to extend straight in front of him for a few seconds, he saw a black shadow in ancient Chinese costume standing at the bow of the boat!

The black shadow's face was like a pure black whirlpool, only two yellow eyes flashed, staring at Tang Chengyong and his junior, at the same time, the black shadow raised his arm, and there was a golden scepter inside, shining with brilliant light with an incomprehensible visual perception, and in the elliptical with six rays at the top, a dazzling beam of light suddenly radiated, and Tang Chengyong instantly felt like a fire under the shroud of that light.

He didn't expect these "Grim Reapers" to have such a mysterious "weapon"!

"Look at the hammer!!" shouted the curly-haired brother from some tree.

Tang Chengyong, who was frightened, came back to his senses, quickly left his junior's body, turned into a wisp of white smoke, and quickly fled back to the north side of the lake, the building where he died. And the junior who came to his senses, although he didn't see the soul envoy and the spirit boat, was frightened by the bizarre feeling and ran back to the dormitory screaming, and from then on he insisted that the lake was haunted, and asked other students not to go to the lake.

Nervousness, fear and novel excitement made Tang Chengyong unable to enter a state of lethargic rest in the dead house all night. He knew that he had succeeded, and he had learned to "possess himself," so that the day of Pang Lin's confession was not far off!

Before the sun rose the next day, Tang Chengyong cautiously watched and came to the lake, the terrible black shadow and black boat were gone, and the Xuanlin, which was changed last night, still maintained the appearance of the passage and entrance.

He searched for a few moments, screamed a few times, and the curly-haired brother finally "appeared"—from the willow trunk beside him, only a face appeared, like a dryad.

"Big brother, I've learned!" Tang Chengyong looked very excited.

The curly-haired brother yawned: "You're too early." ”

"Big brother, what was that ghost last night? Is it the legendary Grim Reaper?

The eldest brother hesitated for a moment, as a wandering soul transformed from a resting soul, he could not explain the true nature of the spirit world at once. "You can understand it as a ghost, but we are all souls, and it's kind of funny to say that people are ghosts. He yawned again, "If you disturb innocent people, they will appear, so it doesn't matter if you try." ”

"If they were caught, would they take me to hell?"

The eldest brother suddenly laughed, "Where is there any hell, your heart, it is your temple, and it is also your hell." As for me, I am a kind of fugitive, and I don't agree with their power and their rules, so I have to avoid them, and I can be regarded as giving myself a long vacation, and it is too hard to be a man. But you are different, if you disturb innocents many times and get caught by them, you will ......"
