The second fragment of the road of reincarnation, on the surface, this is an endless prairie, with blue sky, white clouds, light breeze and water, and there is almost no difference from the normal world.

But as soon as she entered here, Mikotoi's expression became very solemn, and she knew very well that every fragment of the path of reincarnation was extremely sinister, and the further back it went, the greater the danger, and the more normal the "world" it seemed, the greater the danger hidden in its secrets...... It's like a man-eating shark that never appears in a rapids waterfall, but only looks for prey under the calm sea.

"The aura of the guardian knight is gone." Mikoto said as he walked.

Su Bai asked, "Is it hidden?" ”

Mikoto shook his head, "The induction between the guardian knights is very special, and any hiding method will not work, so if they can't perceive it, it can only mean that they have left this fragment, and of course, it is also possible that the two of us are far away...... After all, I'm not fully formed yet, and distance can affect my perception. ”

"So, we won't encounter them for the time being?"

"Probably, but be careful."

Su Bai nodded, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he asked, "By the way, speaking of which, what kind of existence is the path of reincarnation?" ”

"Hmm...... How do you say that? Mikoto pinched his chin, twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment, before he said, "Let's put it this way, first of all, nothing in this world can exist independently, such as human beings, although they seem to be completely independent individuals on the surface, but in fact, a human being can also be divided into multiple parts, and each part is complete, just like the body and the shadow, as well as the appearance and the inside. This is the so-called body must have a shadow. ”

"And so is the world we live in." Mikoto said as he stroked, "The world that ordinary people know is the real world we are familiar with, and this is also the foundation of everything, if the real world disappears, everything else connected with it will cease to exist." The underworld after that is a shadow of the real world, originally it was untouchable, but I have to say that the ghost clan does have a unique way. In countless reincarnations, only the ghost clan came into contact with this shadow world and developed it to its current scale...... This is also the biggest variable in this reincarnation. ”

"The shadow world and the real world, this is essential to our world, that is, the existence of needs, but there are some things that are not needed by this world and are abandoned by this world...... If the real world is the first world and the shadow world is the second world, then this abandoned world is the third world. ”

"The world itself has its own independent will. His will can dictate the direction of the entire world, and with each destruction and rebirth creates a reincarnation, so the real world is completely controlled by the will of the world, and the shadow world. That is, the underworld, because it is its shadow, although it is also within the controllable range of the world's will, but the world's will will not pay too much attention to it...... It's like a human being. I rarely care about what my shadow looks like. ”

And the Third World, the abandoned world, is also under the control of the will of the world. But it is not needed by the will of the world, and of course, the will of the world will not observe its movements. So in the end, it is the real world that we are familiar with that is really dominated by the will of the world, so that people born from the real world can never escape from reincarnation, but ......"

Speaking of this, Yu Qinyi paused and looked at Su Bai seriously, "It's like a person's imagination, even he himself can't completely control his imagination, and the same is true of the will of the world, in addition to the three worlds that he can control, there is also a fourth root world that even the will of the world can't interfere with, beyond the essence, and this fourth world is the path of reincarnation that we are in at the moment." ”

Su Bai suddenly suddenly, "So, the sword killing Alaya will exist in the path of reincarnation?" ”

"Exactly, and only the path of reincarnation is where our hope for transcending reincarnation lies." As he spoke, Yu Qinyi smiled slightly, "It's like people often talk about the Three Realms and Six Realms, if we use this concept to explain our world, then the real world is the human world, the shadow world is the underworld, and the path of reincarnation is the heavenly realm, as for the abandoned world is the chaos outside the Three Realms...... Well, although the essence is a little different, it should be easier to understand. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Qinyi glanced at Su Bai again, "You haven't fully awakened yet, whether it's memory or cognition, it's just the level of ordinary people, and you don't need to forcibly understand these, but there are many things that are helpful to you on this path of reincarnation, as long as you can successfully complete this path, you will naturally be able to know everything." ”

"I understand." Su Bai nodded, his eyes suddenly lit up, he looked ahead, and asked suspiciously, "On the path of reincarnation, in addition to existences like you and me, will there be other creatures?" ”

Mikoto Yi turned his head to look ahead, smiling slightly, "Of course, after all, the path of reincarnation is also a world, since there are flowers and grasses, of course, there will be other creatures, and because of the high-end of the road of reincarnation itself, the creatures here will also be particularly strong, which is also one of the dangers on the road of reincarnation." ”

As he spoke, Mikoto flicked his hand, and the truck-sized carnivore that rushed towards the two of them at the speed of lightning and fire on the other side turned into an electron and disappeared in front of the two of them in an instant.

Su Bai couldn't help frowning.

"What, do you want to do it yourself?" Yu Qinyi looked at him funny, "I won't tell you, with your current strength, that guy just now can teach you to be a new person in minutes." ”

How strong is Su Bai now?

In the case of the recent ruins exploration trip, with the Heavenly Sword Gaia in hand, he has been able to defeat the sword intent and the ghost general's apex of the Evil Beauty clone, and his strength should not be underestimated. And the most important thing is that the nature of Su Bai's existence is very special, the source of his strength is not cultivation, but cognition, the more he knows, the stronger his strength can become...... If it weren't for such a nature of growth, it would not have been possible to become the last trump card of the world's will.

And now, even if he is not as good as the peak-level ghost kings such as the Dark Flame and the Dark Yu. At least he can be on an equal footing with the wind and snow, but he is still inferior to the creatures on the road of reincarnation.

From this, it is not difficult to know that without the accompaniment of the royal qinyi, the possibility of Su Bai completing the path of reincarnation alone is almost zero.

Of course, he didn't care about that, but said, "I just want to say, that guy looks pretty good, and we don't know how long we'll have to walk along the way." Always keep some food. ”

Mikoto Yi smiled, "Don't worry, there will never be a shortage of prey on the road of reincarnation." ”

The two of them chatted while walking, and from time to time they would encounter some indigenous creatures on the road of reincarnation, although each of the creatures here was abnormally strong, but it was not enough to see in front of a character of the level of Mikotoi, and of course, the poor guys who originally thought they were hunters wanted to use the two as food ended up all falling prey.

Over time. The natives here also seem to have realized that these two outsiders are quite difficult to mess with, and they dare not come up again to send them to death. And Su Bai didn't come here to hunt, and generally wouldn't take the initiative to attack the indigenous creatures here except when there was a lack of food.

The world of the second segment is far more expansive than the world of the first fragment. And on the path of reincarnation, any timer will lose its meaning, so the two of them don't know, since entering the second segment to the present. How long has it been?

Maybe it's only a few days, maybe it's been a month, or maybe it's been a few years.

I don't know. It's just moving forward as always.

Then, on this day, both of them felt that there was something strange about the world they were in.

"The road is getting narrower?" Su Bai frowned and said uncertainly.

"Hmm." Mikoto nodded affirmatively.

In the eyes of the two of them, there is still the vast and boundless grassland ahead, and the vision is not different from before, but in other perceptions, the range of their actions is getting smaller and smaller, as if the road in front of them has become an invisible eight-figure road, which is entangled and disturbed by the two little by little.

"Is this an anomaly in the path of reincarnation itself, or is it artificial?" Su Bai couldn't help asking.

Mikoto quickly shook his head, "Although the path of reincarnation is sinister, there will be no such changes, but if it is artificial, forcibly shrinking a world, this is something that even I can't do, if I guess correctly, this should be a disturbance of perception." ”

"Hallucinations?"

Mikoto nodded and shook her head, "It's an illusion, but it's not an illusion." If it is a simple hallucination, we will not be affected by the hallucination as long as we believe that it is an illusion, but the perceptual disturbance will make everything a reality, in other words, if we perceive that we are dead, then we will also die in reality. ”

As he spoke, Mikoyi pointed at herself, "Similar ability, this Mikotoi will also, but she is not very proficient and cannot control it freely, and now even I am trapped in it, so it can be seen that the two are completely different." Of course, although the effect of this ability is terrifying, it is also more troublesome to use, at least at my speed, I can easily dodge it. ”

"But you're not hiding from ...... now"

"Well, so, I'm afraid that the other party has already placed this ability in a special field, so as long as I wait for the prey to fall into the net, in this case, it is natural that I can't perceive it."

"Is it the Guardian Knight?"

Mikoto Yi shook his head, "As far as I know, there is no one among the guardian knights who has such an ability, and of course, it is not excluded that there are any guardian knights in this reincarnation who have comprehended it, such as Miqin Yi." In short, no matter what, since we have fallen into the trap, we can only honestly move forward according to the other party's arrangement. ”

Su Bai shrugged his shoulders and did not object. Of course, even if they object, it is useless, because the disturbance of perception has erased everything except this eight-character path from their cognition, so that they can no longer take the second path.

But fortunately, the other party only used this disruption to make them move in a certain direction, rather than directly killing them, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

For example, if this trap is to erase their knowledge of the concept of breathing, then they will not be able to breathe anymore, and of course, this direct attack is far more advanced than it is now, and even real gods may not be able to do it.

So the two continued walking, and then, I don't know how long, finally. In a meadow in front of them, they saw a third person on this path of reincarnation besides them.

It was an old monk with a long beard and a white beard, sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, a broken futon could be vaguely seen on both sides of his seat, and the wooden fish in front of him had been knocked through, and even the robe on his body could be seen the tempering of time, which made people have to imagine how long this old monk had been sitting here.

Retracting his gaze from the old monk's body, Su Bai and Yu Qinyi glanced at each other, and they could both see the surprise in each other's eyes...... This kind of time. As long as you are not an idiot, anyone can see that this old monk is not simple.

"It seems that it was this old monk who laid the trap." Mikoto muttered.

"Is he a guardian knight?" Su Bai was more concerned about this.

"It's not." Mikoto shook his head and said in a deep voice, "He's a human being, a real human being!" ”

Others may not know how much weight this sentence weighs, but Su Bai knows it very well.

You know, in this world. None of the characters standing at the top of the pyramid are not demons and monsters, such as the Seven Great Palaces of the Underworld, such as the Three Peaks of Hell. Or the Thirteen Pillars of the Dark Clan, none of them are human. Of course, some of them may be of human origin, but in the end. They all gave up their human bodies, either as demons or as demons.

And at the moment. This old monk, who even moved the Knight of Light, was a human being!

The two didn't move forward anymore, nor did they speak, they just stood in place and looked at the old monk opposite. In the face of such a figure whose strength does not know the depths, they chose the most sustained countermeasure, that is, waiting.

Then, little by little, maybe just a moment, maybe centuries had passed, finally, the old monk opened his eyes.

The moment his eyes opened, the old monk's deep gaze had already fallen on the two of them, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "The two donors have come from afar, and they have worked hard all the way. ”

"You know we're coming?" Mikoto asked.

The old monk replied, "The old man has been sitting here for 12,000 years just to wait for the arrival of the two of them. ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them were moved in their hearts, this old monk sat for 12,000 years, not to mention anything else, I am afraid that there is no second person in the world with this resilience alone. And...... 12,000 years ago, human beings were probably not civilized.

Su Bai stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "The master has been sitting in meditation here for 10,000 years, and the profundity of his Taoism is really admirable, and he dares to ask the master's name." ”

"The master doesn't dare to be a master, the old man is called Tang Seng."

"Ugh!" As soon as they heard the name Tang Seng, Su Bai and Yu Qinyi couldn't help but widen their eyes. Although the Imperial Qinyi is now possessed by the Knight of Light, the two are originally one, so the memory of the Imperial Qinyi, the Knight of Light also has it, and he naturally knows about Tang Seng, not to mention Su Bai.

Westbound Master Tang Seng, as far as Su Bai knows, is the only top human powerhouse in this world, in the period when human beings have not yet been civilized, he is already a great power, wandering the world to guide and enlighten human beings, can be described as a real living Buddha.

And its strength is even more unfathomable, not to mention the rest, one of the seven palaces in the underworld, Xixingyou, her strength is all from Tang Seng.

Such a character is undoubtedly the strongest among human beings, and even, if he appears in the world, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest existence!

However, compared to the identity of the old monk, Su Bai cared more about the other party's purpose here.

"Dare to ask the master, sit here and wait for us for ten thousand years, I don't know what it is?" Su Bai asked.

Tang Seng smiled and asked, "Why did the donor come?" ”

"Uh......" The old monk was such a simple question, but Su Bai was stumped.

Then, without waiting for him to answer, Tang Seng said again: "Why did the donor come, why did the old man sit here, sitting for 12,000 years, just to make a petition to the donor." ”

Petition?

As a living Buddha, Tang Seng actually wanted to petition himself, if Su Bai didn't already know his identity, I am afraid that he would be scared by this sentence.

"Master, say."

"But please go back the way you came."

"......" Su Bai looked at him for a long time, and slowly shook his head, "I admire the master's personality and cultivation, if it is other requirements, what the master says, I will listen to everything, but let me go back the way I came, please forgive me for not being able to do anything." ”

Tang Seng seemed to have known this result for a long time, and sighed slightly, "The donor knows that the way of reincarnation cannot be touched." ”

"Of course I know that, but I've made up my mind."

"Even if you drag the whole world to destroy together, is it okay?"

"Even if I don't do this, the world will still be destroyed." Su Bai shook his head, "I'm just advancing the time of destruction, and besides, after destruction, there will be a new life, which is the only way to transcend reincarnation." ”

"Alas!" Tang Seng sighed heavily, "The donor's move will kill countless people, even if it will be a new life after the destruction, but before that, it is a fact that endless suffering has befallen this world, and even the donor cannot escape...... The donor knows that going on will only make you an enemy of everyone, and the people you love, the people who love you, everything, will leave you, but even so, the donor is determined to do so. ”

Su Bai smiled slightly, "In order to transcend reincarnation and achieve true freedom, I ...... I will destroy this world and everything in this world with my own hands, isn't it because the master knows this that he will stop me? ”

"Amitabha." Tang Seng clasped his hands together, "There are countless roads, but the donor has chosen the most difficult and painful one, the old man knows that the donor is determined, regardless of right or wrong, this dedication should be very human." However, if the donor wants to move forward, he will break up this obsession with the old man who will not go to heaven or hell, and return to this chaotic world with a detached body, just to save the sentient beings who are facing suffering. ”

As the words fell, the whole land was violently shaken. (To be continued......)
