473, Time Vortex

When Lei Tian woke up, it was dark.

He stared blankly at the morning star in the sky. I don't remember how many times he has seen the sunrise, at first, he thought that getting lost was only temporary, and the Chaotic Stone Forest was a natural maze, and many people knew about it. He had always thought that most of the missing monks would die here because they didn't persevere.

However, as time passed, he could never find a way out of the chaotic stone forest.

There are always a lot of incredible things happening in the Stone Forest, such as snow on the left, sunny days on the right, flowers in the front and leaves in the back. Often walking through one place, it quickly becomes another. At first, he would keep a record of what he had encountered, what he saw, and how many days he had spent. As time passed, he gradually confused the concept of time, not knowing how long he had been here, only that time was long and had no end.

From the beginning to the end, he never encountered a living person, but often found the remains in the pile of rocks and grass. These remains are human and animal, I don't know if these people have encountered the same thing as him, maybe this is also his final end.

Here he was yelling and screaming, frantically casting spells, beating the surroundings to shreds, but to no avail. It was as if he had entered a strange space, and as soon as he turned around, the space would change into something he didn't recognize at all.

Worry, fear, until numbness......

Gradually, he felt that he had become a walking corpse, and he could only walk around the rocky forest, aimlessly.

Once, he also thought about cultivating here. If the cultivation is high, there is hope. But. The chaotic time and space made his state of mind gradually collapse, let alone cultivate, and he couldn't even live a normal life.

What's more, this place was filled with a strange aura, and every time the scenery changed, he would be affected, and gradually, his meridians and dantian were destroyed. Even the true yuan can't be gathered.

How many mornings is this? Perhaps, he has been here for decades, and in his lifetime, he doesn't know if he will ever see anyone alive.

- Wait, his body seems to be fine, and the true element in his body is surging.

It had been a long time since this feeling, and Lei Tian felt like he was dreaming.

"Awake?" There was a voice in my ears.

Person? Someone?! By the way, he's met someone!

Lei Tian sat up suddenly, looked at the spirit jade in front of him, and slowly returned to reality.

Trapped in the Stone Forest for too long. His memory was a little distorted, and he saw Lingyu's figure. Only then did I gradually recall it.

That's right, he finally met someone, a senior who saved his wife and children, and made him confess the Lord.

"Lord......" He found that his voice was no longer hoarse, as if he had returned to many years ago, when he had just entered the Stone Forest.

Joy slowly came up, and his whole person was filled with warmth and happiness. With the way home, I learned the news of my wife and children, and my body was repaired. There is nothing more than this when there is a long drought and dry rain.

Lingyu said: "It's inconvenient for me to call it like this, and it will be called a real person in the future." ”

"Yes," Lei Tiangong knelt respectfully in front of her, "real person." ”

When he confessed to the Lord, his memory was still confused, and he lost half his life by a long period of loneliness, and his mood almost collapsed. At this time, the meridians and dantian were repaired, the true yuan in the body was abundant, and the mood was unprecedentedly relaxed, restoring the self-confidence that a monk should have.

Lingyu played with the black stone in his hand and asked him, "Is this the way you got this?" ”

"Yes." Lei Tian thought about it for a moment, "Back then, my subordinates strayed into the Chaotic Stone Forest and inadvertently got this black stone. ”

Lingyu said, "Since you have already obtained the Black Stone, why did you come back to the Stone Forest?" ”

Lei Tiandao: "That day in the Stone Forest, my subordinates saw a boulder similar to the black stone. Later, he found out that the black stone had the power of foreshadowing, so he wanted to come back to find out. ”

"Boulder?" Lingyu narrowed her eyes, "But a craggy boulder several people tall with vague words on it?" ”

Lei Tian was stunned for a moment: "Whether that is a word or not, my subordinates don't know, it looks like some kind of mysterious rune." ”

Lingyu nodded, that's right, what Xu Jibo said is such a strange stone.

"And did you see it later?"

Lei Tian shook his head: "My subordinates returned to the Chaotic Stone Forest, and I searched carefully many times, but I didn't see that boulder again." He paused and said, "Real person, my subordinates think that the boulder must be a strange thing, you don't know, the stone forest is very strange, one step away, the scenery may be completely different." My subordinates have been trapped here for many years and have seen many wonderful sights......"

Lei Tian told his experience one by one, the kind of loneliness that he couldn't get rid of, tortured a high-spirited man like a savage. As a foundation building monk, he can not drink or eat, and if it weren't for the collapse of his state of mind, he would not have spoiled himself like this.

“…… If you don't meet a real person, your subordinates are afraid that they will go crazy to death. Lei Tian finally said.

If Lingyu had come a few years late, he would probably have gone crazy.

"One step apart, the scenery changes, and there is a strange aura......" Lingyu muttered.

Lei Tian didn't dare to disturb her contemplation, but kept looking up at the outside of the chaotic stone forest.

For the first time in so many years, he felt that the outside world was so clear, and he could see the mulberry slope through the gaps in the rocks, as well as the early morning birdsong.

The Stone Forest is silent, and even if there are occasional small animals running by, they will quickly disappear. He was trapped here, as if he had entered a closed world, knowing that when he went out, he would be in Sanglin Slope, and when he turned a corner, he would be in Frozen Crane Pond. However, he couldn't see it, as if there was an invisible barrier that sealed the Stone Forest.

Seeing the spirit jade, Lei Tian finally felt that the invisible enchantment had disappeared. However, as long as he hasn't gone out, he will still feel uneasy.

"Real person," didn't wait for a response for a long time, Lei Tian couldn't help but remind loudly, "Let's go out quickly, the Chaotic Stone Forest is really weird......"

After being trapped for many years, he was already afraid, for fear that he would fall into that strange circle again and not be able to get out no matter how he walked.

"There's no hurry." Lingyu glanced outside the chaotic stone forest. The commotion in Jackdaw Mountain has to last for three or five days. There are too many strange things in the chaotic stone forest, and those two foundation building monks have come to investigate, and no one will disturb them in the short term.

"But ......"

"Are you afraid you won't be able to get out?"

"Yes." Lei Tian's face was a little panicked, "I don't know, no matter how my subordinates turned around, they couldn't find a way out, in case they were trapped, then ......"

"Peace of mind." Lingyu waved her hand, "While I'm here, you can definitely go out." ”

Seeing that Lei Tian was still uneasy, Lingyu asked, "You have been trapped here for many years, have you ever thought about what you have encountered?" ”

This question stopped Lei Tian, and he hesitated: "My subordinates can't say it clearly, I just feel that the chaotic stone forest is worthy of a messy word, summer and winter, sunny and rainy, as if the laws of heaven and earth are chaotic......"

Lingyu smiled: "It's not wrong for you to say that, but it's not that the laws of heaven and earth are chaotic, but that time is disrupted here, causing the illusion that the laws of heaven and earth are chaotic." ”

"Time...... Disrupted? Lei Tian didn't understand.

Lingyu took the jade slip he used to remember, and said, "Before your state of mind collapsed, there were five or six years of recorded time, and after that, a long time passed, and you think about it for at least ten years, right?" ”

"Yes."

"I also confirmed just now that your bone age is a little older than your actual age."

What does the phrase "bone age is older than chronological age" mean?

Lei Tian thought about it carefully, suddenly understood, and looked at Lingyu in horror.

"Got it?" Lingyu looked at him and said, "Actually, it's only been six years since you disappeared, but you've been here for more than ten years. ”

Lei Tian's hand trembled slightly, and he was almost speechless: "Only ...... Six years ......"

According to the time outside, Lei Tian had only spent six years in the Chaotic Stone Forest, but in fact, his bone age showed that he had spent more than ten years here.

"Time...... Time ......"

"Yes, it's time. Blackstone's predictive function is due to its ability to see a point in time over time. Before I came, I inquired about many things about the Stone Forest, and over the years, some people have disappeared here, and some people have left safely. Listening to your experience, I think there must be some reason for this. ”

Lingyu turned her head to look at him: "You are in the Stone Forest, you can't get in touch with the real world, and time changes a lot more than normal. In the past six years, it's not that no one has come to the Stone Forest, but no one has seen you. I think you're caught up in some strange time vortex, going back and forth between time rifts, unable to return to the normal world. ”

Lei Tian stood up suddenly: "Real person, then let's hurry out, in case we are caught up again......"

"Didn't I give you peace of mind?" Lingyu was very calm, "The time vortex doesn't appear all the time, if you think about it carefully, the vision of the Chaotic Stone Forest hasn't been a year or two, how many people are really missing here?" ”

Lei Tian nodded involuntarily. Before he came to the Stone Forest, he already knew it thoroughly. Every few years or so, someone has an accident nearby, but not all of them disappear and can't come back. There are no dead people alive, no corpses, and less than half of those who have really disappeared. Moreover, not everyone who comes to the Stone Forest will have an accident, and there are even more people who have not encountered any accidents.

"And, is there a monk among them?"

Lei Tian was stunned and shook his head. After thinking about it, he added: "However, Brother Yudan will not come here for no reason......

Lingyu said with a smile: "In the past ten thousand years, how many families have gained a foothold in Jackdaw Mountain?" If something happened to the Stone Forest, Brother Dan would be tricked, and they would have already designated this place as a forbidden place. The reason why no one has paid attention to it for 10,000 years, thinking about it, the time vortex here may not be able to affect the Jiedan monk. ”

"Is that so......" If this is the case, as long as he is with Lingyu all the time, he will be swept into the time vortex.

What Lingyu thought was that even if that strange stone was a treasure of time, after all, without an owner, it might not have enough strength.

Where the hell is that strange stone? Lei Tian has seen it, which means that it still exists and has not been taken away by Jian Zhenjun. However, Lei Tian did not find it.

Did Jian Zhenjun hide it in the time vortex? If this is the case, she will not be able to enter the time vortex, and she will not be able to see the strange stone. Can it only be returned in vain? (To be continued......)
