Tang Feng's research on the dzi had entered a critical period, so he asked Gu Yi to stay with him for a while. Therefore, Gu Yi went to work in the intelligent company every day, in addition to helping Tang Feng crack the code of the dzi, he also went to the small universe to expand the territory and participate in the construction.

It should be said that the two young monks of Fuhu Temple are still working very hard, and the area of the universe has expanded a lot. With the increase of animals and plants in it, it has also brought about climate change in the small universe. The former lake has expanded to resemble an ocean. Standing on the shore of the lake, you can no longer see the opposite shore. Even the sun in the sky is much bigger.

It can be said that under the manipulation of the builders, this small universe is full of wind and rain, dense forests, birds and flowers, and a natural beauty.

However, what puzzled Gu Yi was that in addition to expanding the territory, the two monks also built a city inside, yes, not a village, but the scale of the city. Therefore, Gu Yi guessed that the old monk may want to build the prototype of a kingdom in it.

It's just that it is obviously impractical to build a country in this small universe. Because, in the face of the real universe, it is completely vulnerable. No matter how large the building is, it is worth a small planet at best. And the truly smallest universe also has hundreds of millions of planets.

It's not a matter of quantity, it's a difference in quality. The energy level of people below 10 dimensions is not enough to build a real universe, and there will be problems with its power and energy source.

This small universe can only be used for refuge and temporary residence at best, and if it is used for long-term reproduction, it is obviously not enough. Mainly because there are too few resources, unless the number of people in it is controlled to less than a million people. At the same time, it cannot be subjected to any attacks.

In the void, the merger of time and space also occurs from time to time. This weak micro-universe is simply vulnerable. Moreover, in the event of a devastating annexation, all living beings inside will be wiped out.

At the beginning of chaos, each universe expanded rapidly with a singularity, forming large and small universes. Endless universes coexist, and between the universes, there are dimensional differences, as well as mass differences. This will lead to violent mergers and even attacks on each other. The current multi-dimensional and multi-dimensional universe is the result of gradual stabilization after a long period of turmoil.

Therefore, any self-created small universe, if it reaches a coveted level, will basically attract greedy eyes. Because, the law of the jungle, is always the most fundamental law of the universe.

Moreover, some people have rivers and lakes, some people have management, and some people need ecological circulation and continuous supply of energy. Therefore, Gu Yi is a little incomprehensible. If you decide that you have a chance, you must ask the old monk.

Accompanying Ruozhu and his senior brother, when they were expanding their territory in the small universe, the three of them were constantly running the Heavenly Dao there, establishing the order of time and space, and confirming each other's abilities. For this reason, Gu Yi gained a lot of insights from it. First of all, order and the way of heaven, which itself is to look down on everything from God's perspective, is a philosophy that transcends human thinking. Its logic and collusion must follow a precise operating law.

Secondly, each fragment of space-time that is captured has its own weak laws and abilities, and when these laws and abilities are resolved, their own abilities will be replenished and transformed and absorbed, thereby enhancing their own abilities from another dimension.

The pattern of alien abilities in Gu Yi's body, after the planning and reorganization of the old monk, has a super absorption power. Half a year later, he clearly felt that his ability had increased several times, and his sensibility and comprehension had also increased exponentially.

As the saying goes, although a sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. Although this small universe is very small, its operating laws are consistent with the operating laws of the four-dimensional universe where the royal family is located.

Although it is simple, it is more like an outline or overview of a vast body of knowledge, providing a macroscopic overview of the creation and management of the universe. For Gu Yi, it is easier to comprehend, more comprehensive, more profound, and more specific and vivid than learning blunt knowledge in the four-dimensional palace.

Gu Yi came to the three-dimensional world to experience, and although the memories of the experience were erased, the knowledge learned in the palace was deeply imprinted in his mind, but he couldn't use it before. After more than half a year of the creation of the small universe, coupled with the practice of the small universe created to save Tang Feng before, Gu Yi was almost able to automatically integrate what he had learned in the palace, and he often gained an unprecedented understanding like an initiation.

Because of this, Gu Yi even had some doubts that everything he was doing now could not be the result of the careful arrangement of his father or queen mother, right?

Although some of his past experiences were dangerous situations, the ability to control time and space and the perception of life that he gained have increased by leaps and bounds. This is of great significance for the future life in the four-dimensional world. These things could not be learned at all in the royal palace before.

Ye Yiping's pregnancy was already obvious, and Gu Yi's mother wanted to come over to help, but was blocked by Ye Yiping's mother. She is such a precious daughter, guarding every day, and she doesn't need anyone to help her at all. Therefore, Gu Yi wanted to take advantage of Ye Yiping's early delivery to go to Mount Emei.

Bidding farewell to Ye Yiping and Tang Feng, Gu Yi took a plane to Mount Emei in eastern Sichuan Province. At the airport, he unexpectedly met Tang Yijing. She is going out filming with some actors.

Tang Yijing was a little excited when she saw Gu Yi, and took the initiative to come over to talk, but Gu Yi could still feel an affectionate gaze from Ziyun between her eyebrows.

He asked Tang Yijing which flight she was on, and the two turned out to be one.

On the plane, Tang Yijing changed to Gu Yi's side. And Gu Yi, in addition to asking her about her recent situation, also asked Cui Bailu in a low voice. Tang Yijing is obviously more sensitive to this topic, and she cares about other things. It was a pain in her face.

Gu Yi could already feel that she was no longer deliberately hiding Ziyun's aura. For this reason, Gu Yi was still a little worried about heavenly punishment. However, Tang Yijing looked indifferent. Through his speech and demeanor, Gu Yi can also feel that Ziyun likes Tang Yijing's profession as an actor, especially the status of a big star. This may also be the reason why she didn't pester Gu Yi during this time.

Mount Emei, Fuhu Temple.

Although it was a sunny day, there was still a layer of clouds and mist between the trees under Mount Emei. Because the plants here grow very luxuriantly, the inside and outside of the temple are a little shady.

The old monk is still in the monastery for the visitors who enter the temple. Gu Yi also asked for a bowl, squatted in a corner of the temple and drank it.

After drinking the porridge, Gu Yi wanted to talk to the old monk, but he didn't see anyone. The soup kitchen has been replaced by someone else.

What made Gu Yi feel uncomfortable was that there were always some mysterious strangers in the temple, probing their brains, secretly looking at Gu Yi, but they didn't dare to face him. As soon as Gu Yi looked at those people, they immediately looked elsewhere.

Gu Yi probed, these people have extremely weak abilities, and some of them have no abilities. Moreover, his face is melancholy, but he does not look like a tourist, he should be a frequent visitor here. In particular, most of the pheromones on their bodies are vulgar in life. This made Gu Yi a little curious. Mortals should not be interested in him.

At noon, a monk brought over a bowl of rice with some vegetarian dishes in it. It seems that the old monk is not going to summon him at noon.

After lunch, Gu Yi wandered around the temple. Looking at those statues of gods and Buddhas and the smell of incense, I couldn't help but think of Tang Feng when he was frustrated. He must have been very depressed. He has lived in the temple for two years, is he just like those strange strangers just now?

The Sacrifice Cliff, together with the Yan Hongji and the Flying Cliff, is known as the three major suicide holy places in the world. The Yanhongji in the south of the Yangtze River and the sacrificial cliff of Mount Emei, Gu Yi has been there. The Flying Cliff of the South Palace of Wudang Mountain, Gu Yi estimated that the situation was similar to those two places, and they were all places to relieve a thousand sorrows.

Gu Yi sat on the side, watching the pious pilgrims come here to worship and worship, and then thought of the melancholy figures of the sad guests of the three holy places. He seemed to suddenly understand something. Could the old monk want to rescue these people? Are those strange people who probe their brains also like this?

It was nearly late afternoon that the old monk came to Gu Yi's side, and he took Gu Yi into a valley. There is the valley behind the Leiyin Temple.

Leiyin Temple is at the exit of the valley not far opposite the Fuhu Temple, and there is a deep valley behind the temple. About a mile into the valley, suddenly opened, there are rows of tea trees and a piece of field, around the cliff, the forest is luxuriant, or there are many scattered mountain farmhouses in the jungle.

The old monk looked at Gu Yi with a smile, as if he understood the purpose of his trip. So he pointed to the farmhouse in the middle of the valley and said, "Do you know who these are?"

"Aren't they villagers in this mountain?" Gu Yi was a little surprised.

The old monk shook his head at him and said, "Most of these jumped off the cliff of sacrifice and were placed here by us. There are also some people who have nothing to do with the Sacrifice Cliff, they came here by themselves after hearing about the situation here, and they are indeed somewhat similar to those cultivators in Zhongnan Mountain. ”

Gu Yi looked at the old monk in surprise. He didn't expect that many of the people who jumped off the cliff didn't die? Also, he went to Zhongnan Mountain, and the old monk seemed to know about the four-dimensional relics that existed in Zhongnan Mountain.

The old monk took Gu Yi to sit in a pavilion on the hillside in the valley, where there were several wooden stools and a small table in the middle. On the small table, there was actually a pot of hot tea, and two teacups were placed next to it. It seems that the old monk had already ordered someone to arrange and specially brought him here to talk.

At this time, the sunset had already sunk into the mountains and forests, and the sky was slightly purple-red.

The old monk made a regional bureau and shrouded the entire pavilion.

"The cliff of sacrifice is more than a thousand meters high, if ordinary people jump down, how can they not die?" Gu Yi couldn't help but ask with some surprise.

The old monk seemed unhurried, and said softly to Gu Yi: "There are three kinds of people who jump off the cliff: first, they are worldly frustrated people; Second, it is a devout believer who mistakenly believes that the Buddha's light is his own enlightenment, wants to ascend to the immortal, and wants to take a shortcut in life, which is also an unfinished life experience, and the result is the same as before. Third, it is a soulless person. There is no hope of such a person returning to the world, and he cannot seek death. Such a person jumps down and does not die. What you see now is that in this valley, there are all these third kinds of people. ”

"Did you just say that there is no soul, do you mean that the souls of these people are sealed? like those relics of the four dimensions?" Gu Yi suddenly thought of those relics on Zhongnan Mountain, who were dragged down by the barbarians. It's just that those people are only sealed with their abilities, not their souls.

"No, they're different. The old monk shook his head, and then said: "Those remnants who have cultivated on Zhongnan Mountain and have been condemned and degraded are at least perfect people, and they are people who are united in spirit and body. Although I can't return to the world for the time being, there will be a day when I will return. You've seen it too. But now you see that these people who live on the mountain, and the mysterious strangers you saw in the temple this morning, are not strictly speaking, people, but puppets. They only have their bodies, and they control their souls, but they are not here. ”

"What? The soul is not here? Where is it? Could it be, the mortal Avatar?" Gu Yi was taken aback. This was the first time he had heard that there were puppeteers in this world.

The old monk smiled, obviously knowing the movie "Avatar", and then said: "You know Avatar, then it is easy to understand." ”

Gu Yi asked puzzledly: "Is there really an Avatar-style puppet man? Do you want to rescue these puppets?

The old monk said softly: "You are not yet in charge, and you don't know how complicated and important the soul training is for the high-dimensional people. ”

The old monk poured tea for Gu Yi and himself, and then said: "Come to the mortal world to practice, and you will have to experience a hundred years of life." And in this hundred years of life, how can there be any easy. Joys and sorrows, birth, old age, sickness and death, love and hatred. Either one is not handled well, and it will make people fall into endless pain. Take a look at the souls who jump off the cliff every year, and you will know that life is ill-fated and life is not easy. ”

The old monk took a sip of tea, and then said: "Because of this, there are some high-level and arrogant people who think of opportunism. The body does not move, the soul does not come out, and he privately makes or buys a physical puppet in the four-dimensional world to replace himself in the mortal world. The essence of those people only needs to manipulate these puppets with their souls in the four-dimensional world, just like living with their own eyes, but they don't have to suffer from the suffering of the world. ”

"And these high-dimensional puppets, although they don't have souls, are manipulated by the soul of the body, and like ordinary people, they can't be seen if they don't pay attention. They can also have children, travel the world, and live like ordinary people. In this way, the four-dimensional ontology is like raising some pets in the three-dimensional world, playing virtual life. ”

When Gu Yi heard this, he answered: "Such cheating behavior should be punished severely, why does the master still take them in, and even want to save these people?"

The old monk looked at Gu Yi, smiled, and then said, "The truth is not wrong. But the problem is that these people who bought or made their own puppets never thought that the puppets would never die if they had no soul. The so-called death of mortal dust is the separation of spirit and body. When the soul is out, the body dies. This is the iron law of the three-dimensional world. After the high-dimensional puppet entered the three-dimensional world, although it had gone through a hundred years of covenant, because the soul had nothing to come out, it could only survive forever. ”

He went on to say, "This means that those who manipulate souls in the four-dimensional world will never wake up themselves. Because their souls are controlling the puppet, and if the puppet does not die, he will never be able to get rid of this puppet, but will be dragged down by the physical body, and he can't pose. Every day, I can only watch the monotonous three-dimensional world, and then continue to live forever. ”

Gu Yi smiled and said, "Isn't it good to live forever? ”
