Volume 1 The Tao is a Dream Chapter 3 Mountains and Seas
The sea of thunder is furious and endless.
Zhang Xuan was surprised to find that the thunderbolt passed by him but would not attack him, and he had a desire in his heart - to go to the depths of the thunder sea to see.
The thought appeared, and his form suddenly disappeared.
When he reappeared, Zhang Xuan found that he was still in the void, but there was a floating island floating not far ahead, and a sea lingered around the floating island, and a large number of lights and shadows appeared on the sea.
Zhang Xuan found that these lights and shadows were his memories of the past, and watching the changes of light and shadow, some trivial things that had been discarded in the long river of time gradually surfaced in his mind.
"My memories are stored here, could it be my head?"
I often hear people say that memories are stored in the head, looking at the sea in front of him, Zhang Xuan suddenly had an absurd idea in his heart: "My head is infinitely big, and I am wandering in my own head." ”
"How is that possible, though?"
Zhang Xuan denied his thoughts, he knew that a person could not enter his head.
This place is an amazing place, Zhang Xuan was a little excited, and accelerated towards the floating island.
Kiss!
As I passed through the airspace above the sea, a long sound sounded in my ears, and there was an invisible barrier here.
Landing on the floating island, Zhang Xuan looked back at the void and found that the thunder sea in the distance had disappeared, and the sea of light and shadow had also disappeared.
The void was gray, and this was another world, a place he was somewhat familiar with, the same place he had visited for the first time.
It took him so much to discover this mysterious place, Zhang Xuan felt that it was not his negligence, because this place appeared suddenly, to be precise, it should have appeared after he was knocked unconscious by Guo Jiangping.
"Could this be the creation of the old man's mouth?"
Zhang Xuan thought of what Guo Jiangping said before he died, if nothing else, this place should be the thing that suddenly got into his head.
Xie Dong said that Guo Jiangming is a stranger, it seems that this is true, and only a stranger can do it by stuffing such a large area into people's heads.
"Just, what's the use of this place?"
Zhang Xuan walked towards the floating island with doubts, and didn't go far before a mountain range spewing purple gas appeared in his field of vision.
This mountain range is majestic, the ravines are undulating, and the mountains are surrounded by stars and moons, which is the main peak, and on which are engraved ten desolate and simple inscriptions.
Zhang Xuan walked down the mountain, faintly felt a pressure on the inscriptions, he didn't know these inscriptions, but somehow blurted out: "This is a... Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine... Zero, a string of numbers?"
"Although I don't know it, I can read these inscriptions, and I am so sure that they are numbers, extremely sure. ”
Zhang Xuan touched the back of his head, and his doubts deepened, he concluded that these inscriptions were ten numbers, but he couldn't come up with any reason.
After walking around, he didn't find anything useful, Zhang Xuan was a little disappointed but not discouraged, he believed that this place was not simple, but he couldn't discover the secret for the time being.
The next day, the sky was slightly brighter.
As usual, Zhang Xuan got up early and opened the door of the store.
The business of Tianxuanfang is very poor, few people will patronize it, the store mainly sells some dilapidated antiques, all of which are unearthed underground, Zhang Xuan knows that these things are not clean, they are all stolen from the graves of the dead.
Occasionally, there would be some strange people in the shop, and they would often stay in the store for a few hours, and after concentrating on some goods, they would bargain with the shopkeeper Tang Wu, and they would happily buy those rags.
After washing, Zhang Xuan opened the food box sent by Xie Dong, took out the food and put it on the counter, and ate it by himself.
He didn't wait for Tang Wu, he had been eating alone since he could remember, and he had never seen Tang Wu enter oil and salt, but that guy seemed to be particularly fond of tea, and he would make a pot of fragrant tea when he had nothing to do, and sit in the shop to enjoy it intoxicated.
After breakfast, the sky was already bright, in the early morning of autumn, the frost paved the grass on the side of the road, Zhang Xuan stood in front of the window and looked at the deserted street, the passers-by looked hurried, busy, I have to say that this is a harvest season.
Tang Wu walked out of the backyard and shouted at Zhang Xuan: "Zhang Nu, go get bath water for the old man." ”
When Zhang Xuan heard this, he turned his head in some surprise, pointed to the shackles under his feet and said, "Shopkeeper, the well is in the backyard, and the villain can't fetch water for you." ”
The shackles on his feet are connected to iron chains, limiting his range of motion.
"Today's situation is special, the old man will make an exception to let you go, don't play any tricks, otherwise don't blame the old man for your life. ”
As soon as Tang Wu's voice fell, he only heard a "click", Zhang Xuan's shackles were untied, Zhang Xuan was stunned, Tang Wu scolded: "Don't be stunned, quickly go and boil water for the old man." ”
Zhang Xuan came back to his senses, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he hurried towards the backyard.
When he passed by Tang Wu's side, a cold aura instantly surrounded him, making him shudder, he could feel a powerful energy between heaven and earth, scrambling to enter his body.
Zhang Xuan was surprised, and wanted to absorb that energy, but he couldn't do it.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Tang Wu frowned and said, "Boy, you better stay in the store, you don't have to go to fetch water." ”
"Click!"
Before Zhang Xuan could react, the shackles appeared on his ankles coldly, and the strange feeling disappeared.
"Shopkeeper, aren't you taking a shower?"
Zhang Xuan turned his head and looked at Tang Wu suspiciously.
Tang Wu snorted coldly: "What does the old man do, I still need to explain to you? You are just a personal slave, no different from the livestock on the street, it is best not to talk much, otherwise you will have good fruit to eat." ”
Zhang Xuan lowered his head humbly and said busily: "The villain knows that he is wrong." ”
Tang Wu looked at Zhang Xuan deeply, and then at the shackles under his feet, a trace of fear crossed his eyes, and after a long breath, he left the store.
Zhang Xuan sat on the stairs of the store, looking down at the shackles under his feet, this cold chain that had accompanied him for more than ten years did not seem to be simple.
Not only will the shackles undo themselves, but they will crawl under his feet like a poisonous snake, locking his ankles automatically.
When the shackles were locked, Zhang Xuan lost his sense of the vitality of heaven and earth, and the shackles could affect Zhang Xuan's perception, which was really a bit weird.
In Zhang Xuan's memory, the shackles never left his feet, but the moment he left, he felt the difference in this world.
Tang Wu's behavior was very strange, he seemed to need hot water, but he didn't dare to let go of Zhang Xuan.
"Perhaps, this guy knows something. ”
Zhang Xuan exhaled faintly, thinking of Tang Wu's strange behavior last night, and a trace of vigilance arose in his heart.
He secretly warned himself that the existence of the unfamiliar space must not be known to Tang Wu.
