Chapter 36: Like a Dream
"Well, I thought the king would leave at night, so that everyone would disappear before they knew it, so that at least they would not suspect that they existed. Now, it has led to such an ending, is it too cruel to let them watch everything disappear. Li Sheng looked at all this and slowly walked to Qing'er's side.
Qing'er was still stunned, because she had just come over, and before she had time to look back at all this, everything disappeared like that. "yes, the last minute was too cruel for them. Qing'er turned her head and looked at Li Sheng.
Li Sheng smiled bitterly, "This royal realm, no, this spiritual realm, even if it is a creator, will be flustered by possible changes at any time." ”
"Yes, there is no definite illusion, there is no definite world. Speaking of which, this is also your home. Qing'er said.
"Speaking of which, yes, this is where I grew up. It was prosperous just now, but now it seems as if it never existed. Li Sheng squatted down and stroked the ground under his feet.
"Let's stay here for a while, the body of the national teacher should be around here, let's bury the three of them together. For all this, only the two of us are a witness now. Qing'er patted Li Sheng's shoulder, Li Sheng stood up and took off the basket package on Qing'er's body.
"Heh, I've never told you that this stuff was yours. You used to be a demon slayer, and I haven't touched it much, and I can't understand it. Qing'er removed the objects on her body and gave them to Li Sheng. Then I looked around me and saw that they were still in the same place as before. Not far away is the stream where Qing'er jumped down with Li Sheng at that time, and behind him are stone platforms and miscellaneous trees.
After a moment of sorting out where they were, they walked behind them, climbed up the stone platform, and searched through the mess. Finally, next to a tree, a corpse was found, the clothes were almost corroded, and half of the skeleton had dissipated into the dirt.
"This should be the tree, this tree is already an old tree, but is this tree about five hundred years old?" Qing'er took her hand and looked carefully around the tree.
"No, though the tree is thick, it has not been that long. The time inside the spiritual realm should be different from the time outside. You see, his skeleton is only a few years old. If you look at it this way, what the national teacher said at the beginning did not take long in fact. In terms of the time of his death, he died five years ago in the spiritual realm, yes, but I still have doubts. Li Sheng looked at Qing'er, "Qing'er, when we fell, do you remember the appearance around us?"
Qing'er thought for a moment, "I have to think about this, I just remember that after I fell down, when they picked us up, I seemed to have thrown one of my ragged clothes next to the stream." Wait, I'll take a look. With that, Qing'er ran to the side of the stream, but found that her clothes were still there. She used to pick up her clothes, and in addition to being worn, they were basically calculated according to time, that is, to the extent of several months, and they were not damaged much. She told Li Sheng what she thought, and Li Sheng sighed.
"Maybe the national teacher has died a long time ago, and the spiritual realm we see and enter may have been created after the death of the national teacher. Some of what he said may be true and some of it may be false. If you put it this way, it probably fits all my current questions. Li Sheng raised his head and looked at the tree, "Bury him under this tree, no matter what happened in the past, we have neither seen it with our own eyes nor can we empathize, let all these things disappear with the corpse with time." ”
"yes, I'll help you with that. Qing'er looked around, ready to find something and start helping Li Sheng.
Li Sheng looked at her, laughed, and grabbed her. "No need, don't you still have a spiritual weapon in this basket, just use it. Besides, I don't need your help, you just need to look around and see if there's any place to get out, it's obviously a place where there are no roads around. ”
"You! This spiritual weapon and the things in it, but they are all things that Ah Sheng cherishes, I can see that he has exerted a lot of power with that spiritual weapon, how can you dig the soil casually?"
"Heh, you, this is a spiritual weapon in the True God Realm. Li Sheng took the opportunity to say.
"This, so powerful, then you still use it indiscriminately. Qing'er said, about to take away the spirit weapon.
"Yes, it's so powerful, it should be faster, and if it can be easily damaged, then it won't be worthless in itself. How to use it, it is used, as long as it can be used if necessary, that is the meaning of its existence, why bother with what to do, do you say yes. Li Sheng looked at Qing'er and said.
"Okay, you're right, whatever you want, it's your own stuff anyway. Then I'll check, you're waiting for me here. Qing'er turned and left.
"Okay. Li Sheng looked at Qing'er's back as he left, and secretly used a protective mantra and attached it to Qing'er. took out Wuyu, first dug up the corpses that were originally buried under the tree, put the three corpses together, and began to bury the corpses.
After Li Sheng dealt with them, it didn't take long for Qing'er to return. "Li Sheng, have you done it?" I looked around, and it seemed that there was nothing else I could do but go up. ”
"Hmm, really, and how did we get down in the first place?" Li Sheng sat next to a tree, looked around, and asked, "Come, come over and rest for a while." ”
"Okay," Qing'er sat down beside Li Sheng, "Ah, we fell from above. Qing'er smiled helplessly. "At the beginning, we were beaten off a cliff because of some things, and you were able to reshape your body because of your own cultivation and two demon pills. When I woke up on a high platform, you were already a baby, and I jumped into the water with you from above, and then I met the third master of the house and took us to the spiritual realm," Qing'er said briefly, "But the high platform should not be very high from here, but from our point of view, I remember that it should be above the front." As she spoke, Qing'er raised her head, but at this time the top was still covered by fog and could not see clearly.
"According to what you say, the position should be about the same, you wait here, I'll try first, and when I call you, you can give me a voice." As he spoke, Li Sheng had already tried to climb from the nearby cliff face, and it took about half an hour. Qing'er heard Li Sheng shouting from above, "Qing'er, Qing'er." ”
"I'm here, I'm here. Qing'er replied upward, but there was no voice from Li Sheng. Knowing that at night, Qing'er hadn't seen Li Sheng appear, what was the situation, she looked at the sky with her eyes blank, until there was just a ray of light at dawn. Qing'er found that the fog above was gone.
When Li Sheng climbed up for a short time, he found a faint black shadow on the far right, so he was afraid to go over to see what was going on. As a result, when he passed, he saw a black cave, the outer side of which was already crawling with plants, extending outward. The branches and leaves of these plants are dark and full of red flowers, which are bright and dripping. If you look closely, you will see that there is a small needle-like tube in the middle of the flower, and it is from here that a white mist emanates from it. If you don't climb up from below, you just happen to encounter it, and if you look for it from a high platform, you won't be able to find the root cause at all. Because, these branches and leaves are all over the outside, and the inside extends long. Li Sheng followed the vines and walked inside, the entire cave was almost encroached upon by these vines, if the root cause was found, it might be possible to solve the problem of the fog.
Li Sheng opened a path for himself as he walked, as he wasn't sure if the Teng Man was alive or had a toxin. When he had been walking inside for a long time, he tried to call Qing'er, but found that it was not very far away. So he continued to walk inside, and the more he went inside, the more he found that the place inside was wide and empty, until he reached the root of it. Li Sheng found that these thick vines actually came from an extremely thin root, and her roots looked fragile, but they were surrounded by a protective array.
"It's strange, this doesn't look like she cultivates by herself, how could someone set up a protective array for her that only a demon slayer can have? Li Sheng muttered to himself. He himself observed around the root for a long time, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, and he didn't know what kind of situation she had formed the current situation, if she did it rashly, would there be any new emergencies? After thinking about it, Li Sheng still didn't do it. Looking around, he found a demon slayer brand, which was a certificate of a top demon slayer, with the name Monster Three engraved on it. Next to it is a string of necklaces, made of white crystals, fused with spirit grass and so on. There was also a book with "Yu Ze" written on the cover, and when Li Sheng tried to pick it up, the book shattered into a pile of ashes. "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's been too long, and I haven't even seen a trace of it. He took the things in his hand, and decided to pluck all the flowers from the vines, and then give them enough time to climb up, so that nothing would hurt them here. In order not to delay time, Li Sheng quickly picked all the flowers blooming on it along the road he came from. When he had done all this and came to the entrance of the cave, dawn came, and he brought some flowers, cut down the vines outside, and brought them on his body, and found Qing'er. briefly talked about the situation, and climbed up with Qing'er.
Without the cover of the fog, their eyes were clearer, and the whole cliff looked towering, but it was not that there was no road blockage, but there were many weeds and small trees in these places that extended upward, which could be used by the two of them. The paths were intermittent and not connected, and the two of them climbed for a while, then they went to the nearby high platform, rested on their stomachs for a while, and continued to climb. If it is safer to come across a high platform and can stand on it completely, they will sit directly on it. Sometimes, Li Sheng suggested that Qing'er become a real body and let Li Sheng take her, but she felt that she could actually become bigger, and then let Li Sheng climb up with the help of her torso. But Li Sheng thought about it and still refused.
This way is very physically demanding, and when they climb up completely, Li Sheng feels very tired, and he wants to eat more food. As for Qing'er, they could gulp in the aura around them, and the place they finally climbed to was the same place where they fell.
