Chapter 104: The Realm in the Pot (2/2)
Not only is there a problem with this starry sky, but the problem is not small, the stars, some are about to rise, some have been hidden for the most part, and some are quietly hanging in the night, in short, the whole starry sky has not been exposed, and the problem has not been seen before, precisely because it has not been fully revealed.
At this moment, it was unintentionally pointed out by Yun Zhongjun, but Zhao Li and Phoenix both saw that it was wrong.
Zhao Li closed his eyes slightly, and those rising stars, the stars that had not fallen, gradually combined together, and finally corresponded to the brilliant star map he had seen in the Eastern Emperor Taiyi one by one, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "It's the starry sky in the primeval period, it's exactly ......."
The phoenix frowned slightly, only to recognize it, after all, after the fall of the star god, the starry sky was not managed, and gradually deviated from the original trajectory, and it could still be maintained in the early years, but the further back, the more the shift changed, the more powerful the change became, she had seen the change of this star with her own eyes, and for a while she just felt familiar, and she couldn't recognize it immediately.
Zhao Li said, she raised her head, and gradually saw the familiarity.
If this starry sky is in the middle of the sky, its trajectory and position are no different from the vast starry sky I saw when I was young, and the biggest news of that era is that the star lord measures the stars, restricts the stars, the sun and the moon, and what I see now is exactly the same as what I saw back then.
She quietly glanced at Zhao Li, who closed her eyes and pondered, but said a word that broke the true face of the starry sky hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Looking away, he didn't say much.
Zhao Li groaned, thinking in his heart, this starry sky is actually the same as the star array diagram of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, so it seems a little strange, generally speaking, the stars, sun and moon in the small world are not the body, but the starlight in the Jiuzhou Great World falls on these small worlds and gathers into an illusion.
This place is a fantasy.
Or did the starlight stay here and not disperse?
Or ...... Entity?
Zhao Li suddenly recalled that when he and the phoenix entered this purple clay pot, they saw that there were many cracks on the body of the purple clay pot, and the appearance of the stars of the universe poured out from those cracks, frowned slightly, groaned, opened his eyes, and told the picture he saw.
The phoenix looked at him, shook his head, and said, "I haven't seen it." ”
Yun Zhongjun was not surprised at all, and said, "I have also seen the sea of stars." ”
Zhao Li bowed slightly, and said, "It seems that the problem lies in the sea of stars, or at least it has something to do with the stars." ”
Yun Zhongjun rubbed his eyes and said, "Naturally, after all, you also saw where the sea of stars flowed from...... Zhao Li had obviously thought of this, and replied calmly: "It's a crack, it seems that for some reason, the outer side of this pot of the middle realm was broken, just like breaking a teapot, so it flowed out of the starry sky, was it seen by us?"
"It should be. ”
"Then I'll take a look. ”
"But be careful......"
Phoenix watched quietly as the two men talked about what they hadn't been able to see.
At that time, in the rapid changes of time and space, she couldn't see so clearly, she only saw a piece of purple, and saw countless entangled time turbulence, and finally Zhao Li and Yun Zhongjun discussed to see what the starry sky here was, the phoenix shook his head, Zhao Li rubbed his eyebrows, and said with a headache:
"But the world's timeline here is rejecting us. ”
He raised his hand, faintly able to feel the turbulence of time, and then put it down again, and said helplessly:
"The three of us are like falling on a spider's web. ”
"The more you struggle, the more you will be tightly entangled in cobwebs, that is to say, it will be more troublesome to use your magical powers, and it may lead to a bad situation, especially if you want to fly to the sea of stars......"
The phoenix said in a flat voice: "Converge your own qi and move with the help of the things of this realm itself." ”
Zhao Li was slightly stunned, and immediately realized, the timeline here was constantly shrouded everywhere, mainly because he noticed that Zhao Li and the others did not have the time breath of this world, so they would form an obstacle, so if they converged their own breath, and then moved with the help of the things of this world, without attracting mana and supernatural powers, it would naturally not cause too much trouble.
Phoenix's proposal is equivalent to a heavy checkpoint, hiding in the other party's own compartment, avoiding the sentry, judging from the current situation, it is indeed feasible, Zhao Li bowed slightly, Phoenix raised his hand, and a finch flew in the wind, flying around in front of her fingers.
The woman's finger lightly touched the eyebrows of the bird, and in the blink of an eye, the bird's crisp cry has turned into a huge bird, surrounded by the wind, naturally it is impossible to compare with the real bird, but it has also gotten rid of the flow of mortal birds, and the phoenix sits lightly on the bird's back.
And Yun Zhongjun also took it lightly, and the clouds and mist gathered in front of him and lifted him up.
Point the finch into a luan, fade away from the mortal body, gather and scatter into a cloud, and ascend to the nine heavens.
Zhao Xingzhong was thoughtful, and sighed, seeing that this method without fireworks was much more clever than ordinary spells, not to mention the phoenix, Yun Zhongjun also belonged to the innate after all, seeing the phoenix and Yun Zhongjun looking at himself, he said:
"Go first, I'll be there later. ”
He noticed the phoenix's eyes, flicked the teacup with his fingers, and casually found a reason to smile and said:
"It's rare for Taoist friends to give tea, so naturally I have to finish this tea. ”
“...... Well. ”
The phoenix nodded, Yun Zhongjun didn't have any worries, the two of them probably didn't think at all, Zhao Li didn't have a similar means, but just let the luan bird shake its wings and let the clouds and mist go to the sky, the clouds and heavenly people were long-sleeved and fluttering, but chic, Zhao Li looked at the years that were eternally frozen in the afternoon, sighed, and drank the cup of tea at will.
He doesn't have a big hand like the phoenix Yunzhongjun, who doesn't use spells, easily drives all things in heaven and earth, and ignites living beings, these two means seem ordinary, but in fact they are enough to scare the immortals, mana turns into clouds, and heaven and earth naturally give birth to clouds and mist, these are completely two levels, and under a single thought, the birds fade into mortals, which is also terrifying.
But he naturally has his own means.
Raising his eyes and watching the bird enter the starry sky, he saw that the clouds and mist were flying higher and higher, and the white-haired Taoist only drank tea at will, and finally it was about the same, and he lifted the teapot with his hand, and with a flick of his sleeve, the Yuan Shen locked on the cloud and the phoenix, and with the help of the white space, he directly crossed the long distance, and did not confuse the time in this realm.
Just took a step, and he had already appeared next to Yun Zhongjun and Phoenix.
Then he unceremoniously stood on the clouds controlled by Yun Zhongjun.
Phoenix was a little surprised, looked at Zhao Li, and said, "This is ......"
Zhao Li said casually: "The end of the world is close at hand." ”
The phoenix lowered his eyes and looked at Zhao Li's body, who was still drinking tea below, looked at the Yuan Shen next to him, thoughtfully, and said, "True to the name." Zhao Li just smiled, and then looked at the stars in the sky, his brows slowly furrowed-
What I saw in front of me was the sea of stars, the real sea of stars, the stars with entities slowly rotated here, emitting starlight and vitality, I don't know how much from a distance, and the clouds in the clouds next to him brushed his sleeves, so that the clouds and mist covered them, and the number of heavenly qi of the three of them was covered, as long as they did not move their magical powers, they didn't have to worry about being targeted by time.
And the phoenix plucked the strings lightly, and the timeline here was naturally disturbed.
Raising his eyes to look at these stars, his voice was cold, and he said:
"The stars are real. ”
"It's the same as I've seen before, it's just the same time that has soaked in this place. ”
In the distance, wisps of clouds and mist turned into a convergence and fell into Yun Zhongjun's cuffs, he glanced at Zhao Li and the phoenix, and said: "The distance is indeed a starry sky, not an illusion, and the stars are also true." ”
Zhao Lizhong sighed, and finally realized that he had teammates, and really felt how easy it was to have teammates by his side, needless to say, Yun Zhongjun had blocked this place more comprehensively, and Phoenix also reversed the timeline of this area.
By the way, I also checked the authenticity of the stars and the sea of stars.
However, it is a bit strange that there are real stars here, rather than the starlight of a small world, or some kind of large illusionary supernatural power...... Phoenix and Yun Zhongjun cut the trace of clouds and mist and breath and sent them directly to Zhao Li, Zhao Li stretched out his hand and leaned into the starlight, his eyes were slightly closed, and he felt a certain familiar breath, Zhao Li frowned, and said slowly:
"It's a real star power ......"
"Even, there is the power of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi in it, which is very clear. ”
His voice paused, and he said, "It can be said that it is clearly terrifying......"
Yun Zhongjun looked at Zhao Li and said, "Do you see anything?" Zhao Li casually shook the star power in his hand and said: "Where is it so simple to see, but this is just the stars seen in the night, is it possible, it represents the stars of other times, and there are also stars?
The expressions of Phoenix and Yun Zhongjun both sank slightly.
Zhao Li sighed: "Yes or no, you can see it at a glance, go and take a look." ”
Immediately, the three of them turned this side of the world around, this place is not big, but to be able to plug the morning, noon, afternoon, and night of the day in such an area, divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is even more extraordinary.
In different regions, as long as there are stars in the sky, you can find the corresponding stars.
There are even identical stars in it.
This time, even Yun Zhongjun's face had some tricky feelings, it was obvious that this place was quite remarkable, in a small world, there were actually springs, summers, autumns and winters, in order to show the changes of the years, months, days, and years, there were sentient beings, there were many stars, Zhao Li personally identified, among these stars, they all carried the power of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and they were quite stable.
But it gave him an illusory feeling.
Zhao Li pondered, Yun Zhongjun looked at him and said, "How, do you see something?"
Zhao Li couldn't help but roll his eyes wildly, and said in his stomach, If I really figure it all out, are I still in a daze here?
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Li casually shook off the star power in his hand and sighed: "Time is chaotic, different time periods coexist, and each place actually has a corresponding star, do you have anything in mind?" Phoenix was silent and shook his head, while Yun Zhongjun said bluntly: "Do you already have an idea?"
Zhao Li shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just a guess, it still needs to be tested." ”
"Detection?"
Zhao Li nodded, suddenly changed the conversation, and said with a smile: "Since you can't find a problem in the stars, you can only go down and see the many creatures here......" Phoenix and Yun Zhongjun subconsciously looked down along his line of sight, and saw a large area of peach blossom forest, with faint people in it, and the white-haired Taoist smiled:
"It's been a long time, are you hungry?"
"Why don't you go down and get something to eat? ”
Phoenix: "............"
Yun Zhongjun: "............"
But at the moment, only Zhao Li saw some problems, and immediately had to go down, the more down, this area is late spring, the peach blossoms are gratifying, a stream flows slowly in it, it can be seen that many families, there are children running, all the clothes worn are ancient times.
Zhao Li carried his right hand behind him, looked at this scene, and whispered with emotion: "Suddenly I met the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shore, the grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful......" Yun Zhongjun looked back at him, Zhao Li just smiled casually and said, "It's just a little emotional." ”
The phoenix repeated the words of this line in his heart.
Zhao Li casually wiped the bluestone at the entrance of the village, felt the hard and cold texture, and said, "It's genuine." ”
He stepped forward, picked a random person, and knocked on the door.
Dangdangdang......
........................
Liu Ji looked at the things at home with a sad face, and he was worried.
The room was shabby, and the old hen in the backyard was crowing again.
If he hadn't kept the eggs, he would have been killed a long time ago.
The great festival of Beishan is about to collect the sacrifice money.
I can't do it, I have to save money, but I can't save it...... There are several people in the family, that is, the original daughter-in-law has gone, leaving behind the lovely little grandson, who needs good food and drink more than him, and in this case, he may have to do some work secretly......
He stared blankly, and the fat woman strode around, scolding harshly.
His son has no opinions, but he just knows how to shrink his head.
Yes...... After that, the daughter-in-law began to point fingers at Sang and scold Huaidi for scolding her old bones.
Oh, it doesn't matter, it's a difficult day, maybe I see my little grandchildren grow up day by day, but it's nothing, anyway, I don't have a few days to live, it's hard to endure, isn't this difficult year over?
Anyway, today will pass.
This day is one day less.
Liu Ji looked at the gentle sunlight outside the window, thinking that his grandson would grow up slowly, become a little Langjun, then a teenager, and finally become a young man, and also marry a wife and have children, and his old bones may soon die and become a small mound, no longer have to listen to the scolding of the new daughter-in-law, and his son does not have to be so aggrieved.
It's just that the time spent with the little grandchildren is getting shorter and shorter.
Time is like that, the good will pass, and the bad will pass......
I just hope that before leaving, I can find a way to save some money for my little grandson and buy a rattle in the town, and the old man's eyes are full of expectations, just a few copper plates, and soon, at this time, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
The clear voice smiled: "Passers-by, look for some food." ”
The old man opened the door, looked out cautiously, and saw a young man in a gray and blue robe in front of him, and then a man in white, and a beautiful woman holding a piano.
It seems to have been punched twice.
Who can do it?
But it seems that he is also dazzled, in a blink of an eye, the black eye sockets are gone, it is two handsome offspring, when the old man is still hesitating, the scolding inside stops, and a woman with a somewhat thick waist walks out, followed by this thin and dry man.
The woman's eyes swept over the clothes on Zhao Li's three people, and she paused on the brocade clothes woven by hundreds of birds on the phoenix's body, and then even released light, squeezed the old man away, and shouted with a smile in her mouth:
"Do you want to buy food? We have delicious food here, who doesn't know my Sanniang's craftsmanship, come, please come in!"
Liu Ji wanted to say that it was not a matter for passers-by to eat some food, what to buy or not, but was glared at by the daughter-in-law, shrunk her neck, and failed to speak, Zhao Li walked in with a smile, and saw the sun pouring down, which happened to fall on the previous blessing word, and saw a pair of chopsticks on the table.
Zhao Li and the three of them sat down, Phoenix and Yun Zhongjun were puzzled, and Zhao Li casually talked to the old man.
The old man was a little reserved at first, but then he let go a lot.
There was an introverted child snuggled next to him, but there was another fat boy in the house, wearing white clothes and green pants, holding a windmill in his hand, shouting loudly, running around the house, shouting and making a fuss, and finally stretched out his hand, and wanted to pluck the strings of the phoenix.
The woman's eyes were indifferent.
Zhao Li didn't look at it, a chopstick in his hand directly hit the kid's palm, the fat boy screamed, scolded and cried, the woman who was killing the chicken ran out with blood in her hands, held the kid in her hand, asked the reason, and shouted angrily:
"Isn't it just the piano? Is it necessary to do it? He's still a kid!"
Zhao Li smiled and said, "I didn't beat him, I don't believe you can see it yourself." ”
The fat woman looked at the child, not to mention the injury, not even a red mark, a little embarrassed, holding the child, and said sneeringly: "...... Then, no matter what, you can't treat a child ......more seriously," but the fat boy saw that it didn't work to call his mother, so he changed color, stomped his feet heavily, splashed and rolled, spat at Zhao Li, and shouted loudly:
"White-haired ghost, die early, get out!"
"Woo woo, I want the piano, I want the piano!"
Zhao Li just ignored it, an episode passed quickly, the farmer's meal was not delicious, but it was also a real food, Zhao Li and the three of them ate some at will, and then got up to leave, Zhao Li heard that the old man was going to save a rattle for the hard-working child left by the daughter-in-law on the waist.
When leaving, he said thank you for the hospitality, and touched his waist casually, and there was no silver money.
Simply pulled the moire silk thread on the cuffs, pulled the next one, and kneaded it into a ball, it was a magic robe, but when he saw it like silver, he handed it to the old man, and then rubbed the child's hair, before leaving, Phoenix and Yun Zhongjun were puzzled, and after coming out, they couldn't help but ask, but Zhao Li raised his hand, stretched out his finger and put it on his lips, and said:
"Wait a minute......
"What?"
Before Yun Zhongjun asked the second question, the whole heaven and earth changed its appearance, this is the time from morning to noon, not forever staying in a fixed time period, but circulating at this stage, this is normal, they saw it early, but when the time passed, the phoenix and Yun Zhongjun who were on this earth both noticed the subtle wrongness.
The children, who had just arrived at the meal and disappeared, suddenly ran out again and started playing.
The old man appeared, lying on the chaise longue, chatting about the topic he had just talked about.
There were suddenly fewer peach blossoms on the ground.
The peach trees slowly drop the peach blossoms.
Zhao Li sighed and said, "Sure enough, ......"
Yun Zhongjun said: "What?"
Zhao Li casually pointed to the bluestone next to the peach tree, and said, "I just pressed it here, and now there is no trace...... Phoenix was silent, his voice was cold, and said: "There will be a cycle here, not only the celestial phenomena, but also the sentient beings......"
Zhao Li nodded, and said with a headache: "That's right, since the heavens, the earth and the stars will change, and all living beings are no different from them, the time here is cut, and the people who live in it are forever trapped in time that will not change, to be precise, they will always repeat the life of this day from morning to noon." ”
"When the time comes, it starts all over again, and the cycle repeats itself, and it doesn't stop. ”
"Of course, this is in the past, and now that the purple clay pot is cracked, there may be occasional mistakes, and after a cycle of I don't know how long, it will be possible to get out of here and enter the normal world. ”
The phoenix suddenly realized, was silent, and said, "So the forger died as soon as he went out, and thousands of years have passed outside. ”
"Is it because he was here, repeating the same day for thousands of years?"
Zhao Li nodded, and sighed: "Yes, some legends say that if you enter the place where the ghost is located, you can't eat the food in that place, otherwise you won't be able to get out. ”
"It's not that the day is frozen in the morning, day after day, but in the same morning. ”
"However, if it weren't for us, I'm afraid I would lose my memory and keep repeating this day as a guest, and I wouldn't be able to get rid of it. ”
Zhao Li shook his head and said casually: "Speaking of which, if you guess this, you have to thank the Eastern Emperor...... The Eastern Emperor must be destined for the stars, so the stars and celestial phenomena also correspond to the destiny of all beings, but there are many repeated starry skies here, and each of them has the power of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, which is naturally against the norm. ”
"But let's ignore this, when time repeats, the position of the stars will continue to circulate, which also represents the continuous repetition of numerology, the last point, I just checked, the power of the Eastern Emperor contained in the same star in different regions, is generally the same, almost like the same one on the same day, without any loss. ”
"Huh...... When all possibilities are eliminated and only one possibility remains, the remaining one, although absurd, is also true. If my guess is correct, the truth here should be like this......"
Zhao Li pointed to the sky and said calmly: "This purple clay pot swallowed directly one day outside." ”
"It was a day in the truest sense of the word. ”
"Including the heaven and earth, the stars, and the living beings of that day, and then torn and combined into this strange region that encompasses different times of the day at the same time, there are stars during the day, and there will naturally be stars at night, and they are real stars, and the life cycle in it, no matter how many years have passed outside, here is forever frozen in a certain time period of that day. ”
"And the creatures in it will not die, they will not grow, they will not break free from their suffering. ”
"There will never be a day when that dream will come true. ”
"Everything froze, and they didn't know ......"
Phoenix suddenly recalled the scene when Zhao Li sent out the silver thread just now.
Zhao Li looked at the peaceful village, was silent, and sighed: "This is a good place, I don't know whose place to take refuge from disasters, and I don't know who I fought with to break it, just go in again......" He flicked his sleeves, and looked at the phoenix again, saw the doubts in her eyes, and smiled:
“...... The matter of the silver thread, I just want to try, it's just an illusionary reflection frozen here, and I don't have that kind heart, after all, you see, we ate the food here, and we can be regarded as stepping into the timeline here, and it's only because you and I are a little different from the caster that we didn't fall into the Tao like the caster. ”
"But time and destiny reset, and theoretically, everything will go back to the morning, when the family doesn't deserve our thread. ”
His voice paused, and he said, "But this silver thread has not returned." ”
"So, where did it go?"
"In whose hands did it fall into?"
Phoenix's expression changed slightly, Yun Zhongjun also frowned a little, Zhao Li smiled casually: "But there is no need to be so nervous, it may be that the silver thread is still inside, but the people inside turn a blind eye to it, this is the best possibility, otherwise, this pot in the middle realm, I'm afraid there is still a master." ”
"At most, Xu's things are not so easy to take. ”
Zhao Li whispered and smiled, walked forward, and after knocking on the door, an old man with a wrinkled face came over, first looking at the phoenix in surprise, and then at Zhao Li and Yun Zhongjun, and then the scolding sound inside stopped, and a fat woman squeezed over, and her eyes fell on several people as if there was light.
Then he boasted about the food at the top of his throat and invited everyone in, and the sun was falling on the faded word of blessing in the room.
There is a pair of chopsticks on the table.
An old hen in the backyard held her head high, and a fat boy snatched the windmill from the shy child's hand, and ran around proudly, and the shy child snuggled up to the old man, with tears in his eyes, sobbing silently, and the thin man who witnessed all this did not say a word.
Phoenix and Yun Zhongjun suddenly thought of Zhao Lifang's words.
All joys, sorrows, and expectations were frozen in this period of time.
There will be no tomorrow.
Yun Zhongjun sighed and said, "Without that silver thread, I'll wait to retreat." ”
Zhao Li's expression remained unchanged and said, "There is one more thing I forgot to say." ”
"What?!"
"Because the cycle removes time and numerology, so it's natural, even if we hide our breath, we can't do things that violate the normal destiny, for example, just enter the door and leave, this kind of obviously wrong thing, just like the heavenly destiny river, if you have to go upstream, it will attract the attention of the lord of the realm in the pot, and I don't know if that person is friend or foe. ”
"Unless, as we did when we went to the starry sky to see before, we use the actions of the creatures in the pot as a cover. ”
“............ Speak of people?"
That is to say, it is not that we take the initiative to go, but they drive us out; we can't take the initiative to interfere with the timeline here, and naturally we shouldn't take the initiative to interfere with numerology, but we should follow the trend, after all, the proposition is complicated and repetitive, as long as it is generally logical, it seems to move along the river of fate, it will not be too conspicuous, you have to act recklessly, that is, go against the current, and the splash is too big to ignore. ”
"It's not good to be hacked to death when the time comes. ”
Yun Zhongjun's face turned dark: "............ You already knew?"
"Well, I knew. ”
"And you're still in?"
"Yes. ”
"Take us with you?"
"Yes, take you all with me. ”
The corners of Yun Zhongjun's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that his fist was a little hard, and he recalled that he didn't use spell authority, and the feeling of smashing his face with his fist was quite good, and his palm was squeaky and crunched, and Phoenix asked flatly: "Is there a way to break the game?" The corners of Zhao Li's mouth turned up slightly, and said leisurely: "Naturally." ”
As just experienced, talking, killing chickens and cooking.
Then the boy went to pluck the strings of the phoenix with his hand.
But this time, it was no longer an understatement to greet him, Zhao Li reached out and grabbed it, directly scooped up the bear child, and then winked at the child who was robbed of the windmill and cried, smiled slyly, and twitched his hand, and when the woman had not come out of it, he pulled out the green bamboo that he Zhao had crossed the sea with a bamboo.
The rod material is full of elasticity and toughness.
In particular, it is infiltrated with the sea water of the Star Sea.
As we all know, half of the sea is salty.
After being provoked by the bear child, generally speaking, whether it is anger or laughing, it is a normal development, and as Zhao Li said before, this is not an active change, but a follow-the-trend, not against the original destiny, but downstream.
So the thin bamboo pole contaminated with salt was lifted high and the bear child's ass was pumped.
Cracking sound.
He didn't use any strength, just a lesson, and still made the bear child scream like a pig, sobbing and sobbing, without his previous spirit, the child who was bullied before couldn't help but snicker, and quickly lowered his head, Zhao Li smiled, gave the stunned old man a hand, and threw a dried fish into the child's arms, and then saw the woman come out angrily.
Accompanied by the woman's angry voice: "He's just a child!"
The white-haired Taoist ran out, looking at the two companions who came out early in front of him, slightly embarrassed, but without losing his pleasure, and laughed:
"Isn't this coming out?!"
"Naturally. ”
PS: Today's second update......... Eight thousand words big chapter~
It's a little late, mainly, this type of chapter and plot introduces stories and areas, and it's really bad to break in the middle, so it's written so late, plus the number of words is long, and it's a fist for everyone...... Good night~
