Chapter 39: Miracles, Cause and Effect I
Mengqi yawned, turned over in the verdant branches of the peach tree, Zhuang Zhou calmly dropped the last son, squinted and smiled, "You lost again." ”
The old master slowly took back the chess pieces one by one, and said to himself, "Tsk, continue." ”
"Wait a minute, I've got to change the dream first, they've already found out they're in the dream, and I guess they'll be a little unhappy with me when they come out."
Zhuang Zhou closed his eyes and searched for the location of the adventurer in the dream, and the moment he found it, he opened his eyes, and the chess pieces on the chessboard turned into light blue butterflies and rushed towards the clear blue sky.
Suddenly, snow fell from the heavens and the earth, and the sky was vast.
Mengqi was startled by the snowflakes that suddenly fell on the tip of his nose, jumped off the already bare peach tree, and sat behind Zhuang Zhou. ”
Zhuang Zhou didn't panic at all, and left the first son calmly, "Sad memories have to be appropriate." ”
The beauty of the snowy scenery of the Qimang Mountains lies in the minimalism.
The cold wind is dashing, the snow is drifting, and under the huge sky, only the young man is left alone in this vast world.
Without looking back, he swerved deeper into the glimmering woods, long trails stretching from the end of the valley to the end of the snow.
Hirsch and Guiguzi followed him into the valley, but because of the sudden snowfall, they couldn't catch up with him, so they had to follow his footprints and slowly march towards their destination.
"Hirsch, our footprints, gone!" Guiguzi grabbed the end of her white robe and pointed to the trail behind her with her staff.
That line of footprints is just the footprints of that teenager!
Hirsch wasn't surprised, "This is a dream, naturally it can't leave a trace." ”
Guiguzi was a little strange, "Then what are we doing to keep up with him?" ”
"It's just his dream." Hirsch looked up at the snow-falling, haze-soaked sky and guessed, "Well, probably because he wanted to know the entrance to the floating island." ”
"Zhuang Zhou? He's looking for a floating island, I remember that the floating island is an old century legend, and it has been sealed by the gods, how can he let us ......" Guiguzi said and was suddenly stunned, thinking of a possibility, "Wait, do you know the entrance to the floating island?" ”
"The floating island is a testing ground for the ancient gods, it has no so-called entrance, as long as it is a creature with the imprint of the floating island, it can enter the floating island at any time."
After a pause, she added, "However, the floating island was sealed by me. ”
"The World Seal is the highest level of a mage, and you still have this kind of magic technique? Aren't you a warrior? Guiguzi was very surprised, the magic technique did not match her way of acting.
Hirsch's tone was helpless, and he spread his hands as he walked, "After the Ark came, Lord Nuwa used the core of the Ark to create the Trick and the Demon Dao Technique, and I had no interest in machinery, so I had to learn the Demon Dao Technique. ”
"However, I have only learned a few spells, but it is not a spell that I have cultivated all my life with the scorching brilliance and the advent of Roselle, but a very unpopular spell called the forbidden spell, because it is useless, and it has not really been used yet."
"Does it require a lot of chanting or powerful mana?"
"That's not it...... Ah, you see, we've caught up with him! Hirsch pointed to the snow mound at the edge of the woods ahead and chased after Guiguzi.
The boy's determined footsteps crossed the snow hills and ended on them.
The last footprints are clean, not traces formed by attacks or accidents, and they look extremely strange in the vast snowfield.
Guiguzi's gaze was attracted by the light behind the trees, like a gorgeous aurora in the sky above the extreme north, unpredictable and incomparably beautiful.
It flutters lightly, flickering on and off at the same time, emitting different lights such as red, blue, and green.
Guiguzi was about to walk towards the woods, but was suddenly grabbed by Hirsch, and in her sharp eyes, Guiguzi shrunk his neck and said, "I'm just going over to take a look, no problem, right?" ”
When Hirsch heard him say this, she knew that she was not tempted by the light, and her expression relaxed a lot, and she let go of the hand that was holding his shoulder, and said, "I thought you were tempted by that light, and if you can't even resist the light of your dreams, then in the face of the real it, won't you become its puppet?" ”
"Scared, is that light so scary?" Guiguzi took a few steps back, "Anyway, the person you are tracking is gone, in that case, let's break the dream and go back." ”
"I'm afraid it's not that easy, our every move in the dream realm is in Zhuang Zhou's eyes, if we don't achieve his wish, we can't leave."
"Ah, Zhuang Zhou is so annoying."
"yes." Hirsch nodded, and sat cross-legged on the snow knoun, the boy's footprints gradually covered in snow behind her, clean and clean, leaving no trace.
Guiguzi also sat cross-legged and looked at the changing light behind the woods with her.
Hirsch asked, "You know the law of cause and effect. ”
Guiguzi nodded, "Well, the law of cause and effect refers to the accumulation of cause factors that cause the effect after a certain amount. ”
"The device that emits that light is the weapon of the law of cause and effect. In my world, the causality weapon was just a science fiction concept, but on this planet, it has been realized. ”
That's why the Ark is reluctant to leave this planet!
Guiguzi was surprised in his heart, but his expression did not fluctuate much, he said, "I have read the records, the essence of the weapon of the law of cause and effect is actually a kind of ability to predict and intervene in the future, to predict the conditions needed to produce a specific outcome, and to have the ability to ignore the flow of time and intervene in the events in the timeline. ”
When the (or major) conditions are completed, the result will be achieved with certainty (or probability).
"You say, behind the woods, is the weapon of the law of cause and effect?" Guiguzi suddenly realized, "That young man's goal is the weapon of the law of cause and effect?" ”
"No, he wanted to cross the valley and return to his hometown, but his hometown was destroyed by the Holy Maiden of All Things, and although it was originally on the edge of the floating island, it will soon be ...... Forget it, it's all a story from a long time ago, and there's nothing to say. ”
"But you still say ......"
"Tsk, don't tear down the stage?" Hirsch snorted coldly and continued, "It's a weapon, but in fact, it's a device similar to a ball ring, left behind by a civilization I've never seen before. ”
"Soon after it was discovered, the operating mechanism was unraveled by Lord Nuwa and became her weapon."
Hirsch suddenly remembered that she didn't know why Lord Nuwa wanted her to seal the floating island, and that Lord Nuwa had even given up the law of cause and effect weapon to seal the floating island.
Guiguzi sighed, "Okay, but I still don't know, what is the relationship between the law of cause and effect weapon and this young man and Zhuang Zhou?" ”
Hirsch frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Zhuang Zhou should be the guardian chosen by the floating island, but when he was young, the floating island was sealed by me and rescued by the ark...... No, he imprisoned him, he lost the endless energy he had as the guardian of the floating island, and now in order to fight against the human weapon, the guardian Jiji, he must return to the floating island and get the power. ”
"In other words, you, are the ones who indirectly seized his power?" Guiguzi asked with a little horror on his face, what should he do if he is trapped here and can't get out?
"I'm just doing what I'm told!" Hirsch squinted at him, his tone full of helplessness.
