"It's not far away, it's actually very fast, it's just that your transformation is not complete enough now......"

The girl in the white kimono sighed and poked the head of the guy who suddenly showed a lazy posture with her slender index finger.

"It's not a natural immortal, and it takes time to change the concept of time, but you can actually take advantage of it, and the life history of that realm monster is very good, which can help you save a lot of time......"

"That's I don't know how many seventeen years...... Xia Ran smiled dryly, it was good that he could understand it in detail, he had to watch it with the mentality of a bystander, rather than being affected by memory.

Memory is a very important thing, which determines why a person is such a person, Xia Ran is just letting himself be like watching a movie or reading someone else's diary, dealing with those memories that he is not familiar with.

Normal people watching movies or reading other people's diaries, even if they have influence and feelings, generally do not feel crazy that they are not themselves, but the person in the movie or diary.

But if you are completely immersed in it, it is easy to lose sight of the boundary between yourself and others - when all memories are like "yourself" personal experiences, compared to the huge records of thousands of years, can your own short life experience really dominate?

"It's up to you to take care of ......"

The kimono girl didn't withdraw her fingers, and continued to poke the boy's face calmly.

"Your thinking is still correct, if you achieve something in the next stage, you can compare to the merger state of you and that realm monster, and the next stage will allow you to cross that threshold and reach the real place......"

"When you say that, my morale has dropped...... Xia Ran let out a long sigh, that is to say, to climb in the route he envisioned to open up, and there are still two great realms left to become a wanderer?

- What a gratifying congratulations!

"Anyway, don't worry, you just need to follow the current rhythm, as I said before, we only don't lack time to ......" The white kimono girl's eyebrows were full of gentle smiles.

"Huh? Are you leaving? Xia Ran suddenly noticed a certain change, and subconsciously raised his head and asked.

"Well, yes, the kid is already waking up...... So it's time for me to go back too. "She's always so gentle, so gentle that she can melt everything in her eyes and tone.

Tired and gentle, but the ethereal and endless feeling in the depths of the pupils has never disappeared.

Xia Ran hesitated slightly, feeling that there were still many things he wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea, so he hesitated and said, "That...... Should I say goodbye? ”

"Well, goodbye......"

She nodded lightly and said cautiously, biting the pronunciation of the word "goodbye" very clearly, as if she was solemnly agreeing on something—

"But there's one word of advice."

"What?"

Xia Ran was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at the girl in the white kimono.

"The inability of the living to reach the first cause is the inevitable contradiction."

Speaking of this, the "Two Rituals" stopped and looked at him quietly: "I can show you the way, but the most crucial key to achieve all this needs you to find yourself......"

“……”

“……”

"I understand this." Xia Ran was silent for a while, and then nodded slightly, as if there was some kind of light flickering in his eyes.

This is what she told herself at the beginning, but what she heard at the time and what she hears now are completely two feelings.

Probably because he didn't care too much at the beginning, but now he has begun to appreciate the scenery at a certain height, entered a broader stage, and knows more clearly that if there is no strength, everything is a lie.

I haven't yet appreciated the real scenery before, and there is no real sense of relying on imagination alone, and I always subconsciously feel that demolishing the house is the same as dismantling cardboard, and I can enter and exit seven times in and out of thousands of troops, and I am already a strong man without pressure......

It wasn't until I inexplicably merged with Yakumo Purple that I felt the power of the magic of the realm, and with this I achieved the second method, I was able to directly glimpse the parallel world of infinite juxtaposition, and truly felt that the tip of the iceberg of the infinite world was also infinite.

- He suddenly realized that his previous self was still narrow-minded.

Maybe people will always be unwilling, they will always want to get more, with the continuous growth of strength and the continuous broadening of their horizons, Xia Ran is also extremely deeply aware of this.

The girl in the white kimono didn't say anything more, but her figure disappeared so abruptly, as if it was black that disappeared into the morning glow, like the traces of the night swaying, and disappeared alone.

As if she had never appeared, no one except Xia Ran herself was aware of what had just happened.

Crash...... Crash......

The sound of the black long straight girl turning the page came from time to time, and it wasn't until a few minutes later that she stopped her movements slightly, frowned and looked at Xia Ran opposite: "What are you looking at?" ”

"You." Xia Ran replied as a matter of course, isn't this question obvious?

“……”

“……”

Faced with such a straightforward answer, the girl didn't know what to do, she could only glare at Xia Ran angrily, and then looked in the direction of the door: "Are those strange people coming to you?" ”

"Probably, wait a minute, under the snow, I'll deal with this matter first......"

Xia Ran also turned his head to look over, met everyone's eyes one by one, and said calmly.

The group found that this young Taoist seemed to have finally noticed their existence, and instantly determined that this dream was indeed unusual, and at the same time, they felt greatly relieved.

The group of them had just been staring at each other for a while, and found that the young Taoist had just opened the door and walked in, sat down by himself, said hello to the dignified-looking girl, and then fell into a daze.

It wasn't until now, after the girl had said a word, that she suddenly turned her head to look at herself and the others.

This made everyone feel speechless for a while, dare to love your old man has actually been able to see us all the time, so he didn't want to pay attention to us just now? Regardless of the reason, are we offended, so let's talk about it first, right?

"This senior ......"

Murong Ziying took the initiative to step forward and salute and spoke. And the group behind him, no matter what their expressions were, had different thoughts, at least they acquiesced to let him negotiate, and they didn't have any opinions.

However, the young Taoist on the other side didn't care what he said, and just closed his eyes gently.

When you don't look at this flower, it will be silent with you—so it's just an instant, and the whole world suddenly turns into darkness and nothingness.

……

……

At the same time, Xia Ran opened his eyes in reality, and everything around him had become something else.

The lights were brightly lit all around, and it was in a certain hall. With a cup of tea in his hand, as if he was pondering something, the expressionless head maid stood respectfully behind him.

It seems to be extremely long, but in fact, it is just a matter of time, from the time I received the invasion report until now, in fact, it has not passed the tea work. Everything is nothing more than an out-of-body experience, a dream within a dream.

At this time, a girl in a long green dress stood in front of him, and after seeing him open his eyes, she came up and asked a little eagerly, "Teacher, do you want me to invite that group of people over?" ”

Looking at her excited appearance, it seems that she is a little girl who can't wait to show herself in front of her elders.

"Hmm...... Yes, but let Charlotte come with you. ”

Xia Ran thought for a moment, nodded lightly, and simply agreed.

Because the time that passed in the dream was not consistent with the time that actually passed, the spirits of those people would not remember what happened at all the moment they were ejected from the dream and returned to themselves.

This is a very normal protective measure, after all, for their subjective feelings, it is that a very long period of time has passed, and a lot of information has been received. However, when the spirit returned to the body, it was only for an extremely short moment, but it brought back an equally large amount of information.

In order to prevent the instantaneous amount of data from being overloaded to the point of burning out the brain, it is inevitable to forget everything that has been experienced.

Probably even Liu Mengli will not be an exception, but she is extremely talented, and she should be able to realize what happened faster after she wakes up, and can take the initiative to dig into this huge record that is blocked by the subconscious.

Others need a certain amount of time to slowly recall some fragments and thus remember more things...... So until then, probably only the subconscious feelings are preserved.

For example, although she can't remember anything, Murong Ziying's current attitude towards the protagonist group will still be affected by her subconscious, and it will not be like the cold posture that should be at this stage in the original plot.

Because they are already friends, they can already trust each other.

It's just that it's just a group of people like them, who are now suddenly ejected from the dream, and their spirits have returned to reality, and they have no memory of what happened before, and they may even think that they and others have been distracted for a moment.

Therefore, he will probably still act with hostility and suspicion towards Ouyang Mansion, thinking that there are people in this mansion who are cultivating some demonic and evil methods......

Xia Ran originally had his own ideas, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was just right for his cheap apprentice to make a move, anyway, that group of people was in an extremely poor state now, and the consumption of mental power was very huge.

Although there are a large number of people, there is no threat, and although Ouyang Mingzhu has a high level of cultivation, he does not have much experience in fighting methods, and the only time he made a move was a few years ago when he was successful in cultivation and killed a wealthy merchant in Chenzhou City-

It was the one who paid a lot of money for her father's life.

In this case, the two sides can barely be considered a fair and just duel...... yawned, Xia Ran also felt an unusual tiredness, constantly emerging from all over his body.

I don't know how long I haven't experienced this, he put down the teacup in his hand, stretched hard, and felt that the whole person was a little more comfortable, but then he was keenly aware of a change that was different from the past.

Closing his eyes and sensing it carefully, through the search of the second method, he noticed something extremely distant, conceptually separated by an infinite distance of connection, which was not another self, but something like a brand.

Subconsciously recalled the scene before, when she poked her head with her fair and slender index finger, Xia Ran vaguely understood that this might be what the kimono girl did.

"Lingji Records?"

After settling on the brand, he pondered, and before the world returned, he sent him an invitation, but he didn't sign it due to some concerns.

But now, it seems that she still uploaded her spirit base to Valhalla...... Could it be that he concluded that he would not be able to return to that world in a normal way later, so he pulled a more direct cause and effect line for himself?

It's just that he is a little-known heroic spirit...... Is it really possible to be summoned? There are no legends, no holy relics, is it possible to rely on simple fate?

Xia Ran pondered seriously.
