When more and more clues were gradually connected, Guan Liang, who had re-embarked on the trip, also made a bold prediction about some things that would happen next, of course, he knew very well that his prediction was not out of the control of the unnamed person, maybe the other party just wanted him to think like this, to understand the whole journey of embarking on this road and finally reaching the end, but the only thing, that is, the meaning of this trip will not tell him.
The protagonists in those stories seem to be the same as him, without their own souls, because the protagonists' souls are all given by the creators, as if they are puppets that pull the strings, showing them to the reader, they have no privacy, they don't have what they want to do, and they can't have any choice, because the ending has already been arranged for them, even if it is a perfect ending comparable to a dream, it is just a silk thread outlined by the pen on the paper.
Why Guan Liang has this feeling of being the protagonist, he doesn't know, in fact, he wants to say that he is not the protagonist, the person who is planning all this behind the scenes, but he does not appear on the stage, he has been hiding behind the scenes and manipulating all this, so his identity is the author who created his own protagonist.
If he didn't want to be arranged by his pen and paper, then he should not let him get his wish, but why didn't Guan Liang refuse, what was he expecting in his heart, or did he not realize that his true heart had already accepted the way of life arranged for him by the other party?
There is also no answer, after leaving from Asuka Xiaozhu, the group walked in the southeast direction, this road is not familiar to Guan Liang, but the destination that is about to arrive is very familiar, every human who lives in the Middle Heaven Realm knows that place, even if he has never been to it in his life, but he has heard a lot of legendary stories related to it.
Yes, the place they were about to go was the Valley of the Burial Dragon, a place full of meanings for the Buddhas.
Along the way, Guan Liang did not communicate with Wan Ji'an, Lu Heng, and Tang Long, although everyone is very familiar, and it seems that they have also let go of their insistence because they are dead, but unfortunately, no, because their memories are still there, and the biggest utility of memory is to divide positions.
People have a lot of ideas, but in fact, it is not difficult to make a generalization, for people, no matter what kind of people and things they experience or face, they will come up with an answer from memory, and this answer is choice.
The result of the choice is nothing more than two, right and wrong, if you say the extreme point, that is life and death, there is no third choice, just as it is impossible for the same person to live without life and death, and the people and things in the problem cannot be without right and wrong, the impact of any one thing will eventually affect the people and things themselves, even if they do not make a choice, they will eventually force people to make a choice.
Therefore, they were enemies in the past, and they are enemies now, even if they can put aside their prejudices and try their best to turn enemies into friends, but the position still exists, and personal choices still exist, Guan Liang is willing, will the teacher and child be willing, will the Heavenly Church allow it, will justice allow it, if he abandons all this, then will he Guan Liang allow it?
Therefore, once you make a choice, there will only be two outcomes in the end, so why bother to make another choice, and maintaining the status quo is the best choice.
It had been seven days since the four of them came all the way to the Burial Dragon Valley, and during these seven days, Guan Liang still did not feel any fatigue and hunger, perhaps he had long been accustomed to this feeling after death.
"Let's go, time is pressing, we need to get down the mountain before sunset. ”
Wan Ji'an looked at the sky, now the sun has just appeared, and it is not yet noon, but the Burial Dragon Valley is very large, coupled with all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, I don't know when this journey will end.
Before going up the mountain, Guan Liang saw that not only Wan Ji'an, but even Lu Heng and Tang Long had taken out the star-shaped item from their respective baggage, which made him frown, and the kind of ominous premonition he vaguely felt seemed to be about to happen, but at this moment he also took out the star-shaped item, and then the four of them entered the Burial Dragon Valley.
The familiar scenery is no different from the memory, the crystal pillar that can reflect the distant scene, and the 810,000 resentful spirit array that can draw out the conflict of rules, if all this is artificially created, then the person who can create this world really doesn't know what kind of existence it is.
Thinking of this, Guan Liang couldn't help but raise a second question, that is, can human consciousness really surpass the rules?
Guan Liang has thought about this question more than once, but there is no answer, and it is even more obscure than any question that he is difficult to understand and guess, so he doesn't think about it anymore at this time, but the world in front of him is not the slightest difference from the real world, as if the positive and negative sides are alluded to by the real world, although the person who created this world is indeed extraordinary, but his consciousness is really free from the shackles of rules?
Without thinking about it, the four of them walked all the way, and gradually came to the halfway up the mountain, and when they arrived here, the rule conflict array of 810,000 resentful spirits was already very strong, especially for the interpreters, if they took a few more steps, even the more powerful interpreters would fall into a situation where they could not use their own rules because of the conflict and backlash of the rules.
However, the four of them still did not stop, continued to go deeper, and gradually came to a more familiar place.
"This is the Minami Suzaku Shrine?"
Guan Liang looked at the lifelike statue in front of him and asked in surprise, what appeared in Guan Liang's eyes at this time was clearly the familiar Southern Vermilion Bird Shrine in his memory, and it was the real Southern Vermilion Bird Shrine, although this shrine Guan Liang had not seen with his own eyes, but it had been mentioned many times in ancient books and the descriptions of teachers and children, and it was rumored that there was indeed a Southern Vermilion Bird Shrine in the Burial Dragon Valley.
But Guan Liang's heart is very clear that there is no Southern Vermilion Bird Shrine in the Burial Dragon Valley at all, some are just a few discarded stones from a long time ago, some people say that it is an extraterrestrial meteorite, and some people say that it is the place where a supreme-level Taoist sat a long time ago, but no one has confirmed it, but it is certain that there is absolutely no Southern Vermilion Bird Shrine in the Burial Dragon Valley.
But at this time, the familiar Nansuzaku Shrine in his memory appeared in front of Guan Liang's eyes, which reminded him of the Gate of Creation, this world is really wonderful and confusing, why is it so familiar but there is always something that is incompatible with the memory?
However, what Guan Liang was most concerned about was not the Southern Vermilion Bird Shrine in front of him, but the star-shaped item in his hand, since they entered the Burial Dragon Valley, he had been paying attention to when this star would shine, but he had never seen it shine until he came here, which couldn't help but make Guan Liang have an unbelievable thought.
Could it be that the Eight One Thousand Resentful Spirits Array in the Burial Dragon Valley was not the darkest place?
