3. System crash
After the Yin family collaborated to stuff the Bodhi Mirror to Tang You, they returned to the underworld.
Their family is big, there are many side branches, and when the general clan reaches the age of marriage, they are accompanied by their parents and a few relatives who are relatively close, but Yin Zhan's situation is too special, so there are especially many people who come, and when they come back, they get together for a meal. Yin's father's contemporaries were full of emotion: "Xiao Zhan's marriage has finally begun, and it has also been settled, and we will come back to drink happy wine." β
Father Yin hurriedly responded, watched them leave, and called a few sons into the study, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became: "You try to find Xiao Zhan and see where they are now." β
"But where are we going to find it?" Several people had a headache.
Although their Yin family will be sucked into the space by the Bodhi mirror, what they go to is not a fictional world, but a real existence.
There are countless spaces at the intersection of the underworld and the human world, and the Bodhi Mirror will choose the most suitable one to throw into it every time, and wait until the time is ripe for people to come back.
In the past, there were also descendants of the Yin family who reacted fiercely to marriage, and the family members were also worried about looking for it, but there were too many spaces, and each world was too big, it was tantamount to searching for a needle in the universe, and in the end it could only be stopped.
A few people comforted: "It's okay Dad, don't worry." β
Father Yin said: "You don't know about Xiao Zhan, if it wasn't for the Hades Lord to go in time, he would have blown himself up a long time ago." β
Several people fell silent.
Father Yin paced in the study with his hands behind his back: "Later, he was sealed with mana and sat in prison for a hundred years, but after he was released from prison, he couldn't see that he still had that thought, but his temperament changed greatly, and he was moody, which was not as arrogant as before." β
That's right!
Several people couldn't agree more.
If Yin Zhan was an elite aristocratic type in the past, now he is a decadent and lazy type, hanging around all day long, accompanied by a certain amount of intermittent convulsions, the last time they passed by, they heard him singing the Divine Comedy, and almost scared the collective soul out of the body.
Father Yin asked, "Can any of you see what he's thinking now?" β
Several people shook their heads and sighed, they could guess a little bit of Yin Zhan's mind before, but now they really couldn't see anything, as if all the strong feelings and crazy thoughts were pressed in the depths of his soul, leaving only the illusion of carelessness.
They were silent for a while: "But Xiao Zhan's nature is not bad, and he will never harm that child." β
"I know this, I'm afraid that he will cheat people." Father Yin said uneasily.
Although they have been instilled with the idea of a destined person since they were children, he feels that as long as his son can be happy, it doesn't matter what happens, so he doesn't force it in Xiao Zhan's affairs, but Xiao Zhan doesn't want to, at least he can't trick people.
A few people persuaded: "No, doesn't the Bodhi Mirror always divide a wisp of divine consciousness to pay attention to that world, and besides, if it follows the kid this time, it will definitely protect him." β
"It's also ......" Father Yin remembered that the Bodhi Mirror had made an exception for the first time in a thousand years, and remembered that no Yin family could not help but be tempted by the destined person, and suddenly felt that Xiao Zhan's affairs might have a turnaround.
He muttered, "I can't really get married when I come back, isn't it time to buy some invitations?" β
Others: "......"
This attitude has changed too quickly, hey!
However, although Yin's father said so, he still ordered his son to try to find out. Several people did not disobey and nodded.
Yin Zhan, who was discussed by them at this moment, did not trap people, but was still falling down the cliff, and he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark, he glanced at the black bottom of the cliff and laughed indifferently.
Tang You was awakened by the thunder.
He has always lived a very contented life, except for his unsatisfactory grades in school, these years have been smooth sailing, nothing to worry about, so he sleeps very soundly. The plant's perception of the outside world was already low, so he was still asleep when Yin Zhan was washed down, and he didn't wake up until now.
"Brother, why is it getting heavier and heavier...... Well? He looked around, only to see lightning and thunder, and the position next to him was empty at some point, and his first reaction was that his brother might be cultivating to become an adult, which caused a catastrophe, but then he noticed that there was a lot of mud around, and the word mudslide suddenly jumped into his mind.
He was startled, and was about to rush down to shout a few times, when he noticed a tremor on the ground, and another mudslide roared towards him. A nearby tree was swept down, tearing at the ground on the edge of the cliff, and two seconds later collapsed, and several nearby trees, including him, fell almost simultaneously.
"Ahh
He screamed instantly, thinking about how the roots of the tree were so deep and how it could be washed away so easily, and wondering if he would die if he fell, so would he return to the original world?
Bang!
He fell heavily to the bottom of the cliff, and in an instant his body was covered with a layer of muddy water, and was quickly washed away by the rain.
He was so frightened that he held his breath, and after a moment he realized that the tree had no nervous system and was not in pain, so he couldn't help but exhale, only to hear a familiar voice in the darkness: "You also came down?" β
This voice was still full of usual laziness, as if he didn't care about the current situation, Tang You's worried heart was inexplicably stable, and he snorted: "I thought you were a cultivator and you were surviving the catastrophe." β
Yin Zhan asked, "...... You didn't see me falling? β
Tang You said, "No, I was still sleeping at that time. β
Yin Zhan said: "I slept so hard. β
ββ¦β¦ I've always been like this," Tang You said embarrassedly, and asked with concern, "By the way, brother, how are you?" β
Yin Zhan replied leisurely: "It's okay, it's pretty cool." β
Tang You didn't know what he meant, and asked, "Can you break through and become a human?" β
"It depends on the mood," Yin Zhan said, "how are you?" β
Only then did Tang You check himself, and found that the root had been out of the ground, and he understood that he had not lived long - this was the second time he had faced death in just a few minutes, and he was suddenly dazed, lying on the dark and damp mud for a while, and when he heard Yin Zhan shouting at him, he immediately shouted: "Brother! β
Yin Zhan was helpless by his startle, but he was separated from him by a distance, and he couldn't see him at all, so he could only respond: "What's wrong?" Afraid? Bored? Hit the ghost? β
"Neither," Tang You suddenly wanted to cry, took a deep breath and shouted, "Actually, there is something I haven't dared to sue you, I came through time, my name is Tang You, I used to be a human being, not a tree, I'm sorry, I lied to you!" β
Yin Zhan said: "...... Never mind. β
Tang You said: "But I really regard you as a friend, thank you for telling me so many interesting stories, talking to me, and teaching me a lot of useful things...... Well, the song you sang was a bit out of tune, I didn't dare to say it before. β
"......," Yin Zhan said, "Oh." β
"I may be going to die, I don't know where I will go, if there is a next life, I still want to be friends with you, I am an orphan, I don't have many friends......" Tang You's voice was crying, he still had a lot to say, but unfortunately before he finished speaking, his consciousness was blurred.
He knew that even if the tree broke its roots, it would not die immediately, but it could not stop this constant sleepiness.
Before he fell into a coma, the picture in his mind suddenly looked like a grain of sand at the bottom of the sea being rolled up by an invisible whirlpool, and for a moment he seemed to see many old fragments, but he couldn't remember the details at all, just when his headache was about to explode, a grain of sand crashed into his mind, and his vision was clear in an instant.
Seeing that the sky was dark, corpses were strewn all over the field, and the air was full of the smell of blood, he raised his eyes, and the blurred shadows in all directions knelt down to him in fear, and fell to the ground tremblingly.
ββWhere is this?
His thoughts flashed away, only to feel that the world was spinning, and when he opened his eyes again, he returned to the apartment, and the words on the machine were still the same: Sorry, the system is crashing......
It's back, my courier! He was about to rush out, but as soon as he moved his fingers, the familiar suction came suddenly, and he couldn't exert any strength, and barely resisted before he fainted again.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a warm grass nest, surrounded by three round, soft white fur balls, huddled with him, chirping.
Tang You: "......"
He was simply stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "What are you?" β
Three furballs: "Chirp!" β
Tang You asked, "Don't you understand?" β
Three furballs: "Chirp!" β
Tang You saw that there was no way to communicate, so he came to the entrance of the cave and looked curiously, and then took a breath, only to see the branches and leaves covering the sky and the sun, the green of the world, the branches were spread in front of him like three football fields, and the leaves on both sides were stretched horizontally and vertically, like high-rise buildings built in a disorderly manner, forming this huge and magnificent green city.
He didn't know if it was because he was too small or because the tree was too big to give him this illusion, but at the current scale, it was really shocking.
He stepped out of the grass nest and stood in the wide branch square and looked up, the pillar of light slanted down, refracting a faint colored halo, like a beautiful anime picture, almost unreal.
"Oh my God......"
He was stunned for a moment, and then he began to look around, and saw that there was not only one nest of them, but several more beside them, lined up, and some of the holes also had white furballs standing outside the entrances.
His gaze quickly turned to one of them, this one had just entered a nest, and now it came out and entered the next one, he waited and waited, and when he saw it reappear and sneak into another nest, he always felt that it was very strong, and the secret path would not be the boss, right?
He hurried back, waited for a while, and sure enough, he saw that it had reached their nest.
Furball asked, "Who can talk?" β
Tang You was pleasantly surprised: "I, me, me!" β
Yin Zhan was like an angry bird, and without saying a word, he rushed over and pressed him and beat him.
Lao Tzu is dignified in the underworld, the fifth master of the underworld, and the hall master of the Fallen Soul Palace, and now he has become such a stupid look, dead child, what kind of mess are you choosing!
Tang You screamed: "Chirp-!" Chirp! β
Three hairballs: "Chirp chirp!" β
Yin Zhan stopped: "Talking about people." β
Tang Yu didn't answer, ran to hide behind the three hairballs, and shook his paws.
Yin Zhan smiled angrily and rushed over to pull him out.
