Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Chess Game
I don't know why, it's such a simple sentence, but it is so meaningful that comes out of Guiguzi's residual thoughts.
At this moment, I had a bad feeling from his tone, and I couldn't tell what the problem was.
Before I could think about it, the picture in front of me began to shatter inch by inch, and as my eyes fell back into darkness, the last words left by Guiguzi came to my ears.
"Whether it's for the safety of Shenzhou, or to solve all your own mysteries, you can only choose to move forward, and when the matter is over, you will naturally know who the emperor-like person who often appears in your dreams is......
As his words fell, the darkness grew thicker and thicker, and I fell into a coma again.
……
I don't know how long it took, but I finally woke up.
I looked up while rubbing my somewhat drowsy head, and found that I was lying on the stone table in the land of Yuanci at this moment, as if I had just slept, and Chunting was sitting on the stone bench next to me, his eyes looked at me with concern, and he didn't speak for the first time.
Seeing that I had finally returned to reality, Chunting was sitting next to me, and I suddenly had confidence in my heart, and I carefully recalled the picture I had just seen, and I didn't know where to start with him for a while.
Chunting naturally saw my excitement, so he reached out and patted me on the shoulder, with a rare concern in his tone.
"Don't get too excited when you just woke up, take your time, what did you just see?"
Chunting's voice gradually calmed me down, and I carefully combed through the images I saw in my dreams, as well as the words left to me by Guiguzi's remnants, and then relayed them to Chunting one by one, hoping that he could find some clues that I hadn't found.
After a long time, I finally relayed everything I saw to Chunting, only to find that he seemed to have expected this, and there was not a single change on his face.
It is not difficult to see from Chunting's calm reaction now that he seems to know more things than me.
Sure enough, after I finished talking about all the discoveries, Chun Ting nodded slightly, there was only emotion in his tone, and there was no trace of surprise.
"I see."
Seeing the expression on my face that I wanted to speak, Chunting knew what I wanted to ask, so he answered me directly without waiting for me to speak.
"Actually, I don't necessarily know much more than you, but on the day of Da Ling Mountain, although I couldn't retrieve all the sealed memories due to my lack of cultivation, there were still some fragmentary memory fragments that inexplicably appeared in my mind."
"Among these scattered fragments of memory, I have seen many things, among which there is this Zhenqin sword vaguely, but it is not you who holds this sword in my mind, but someone else."
"At that time, I seemed to have been hiding in the shadows, and had never communicated with the man with the sword, but another person once commanded me to keep an eye on the man with the sword, and to report any problems to him."
"Based on the picture you just saw, the person I saw holding the sword may be Qin Mugong, and the person who told me to pay attention to Qin Mugong has only two possibilities."
"This person can only be Yebai or Guiguzi, there is no third choice!"
"Don't you ......?"
Hearing what Yebai said, I fell into shock again, pointing at him but not knowing what to say.
There is no doubt that Qin Mugong was a person from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and Chunting actually told me at this moment that in his memory, he had personally hidden in the shadows to observe Qin Mugong's every move, and there was also a person suspected of Yebai or Guiguzi who had instructed him.
In this case, doesn't it mean that Chunting also has another identity in addition to Yuan Tiangang in the Tang Dynasty, and he even exists in this world as early as the Spring and Autumn Period like Yebai?
Looking at my shocked look, Chunting's face couldn't help but show a rare helplessness.
"Han Chuan, you don't have to look at me like this, I don't even know who I am now."
"Those memories appeared so suddenly, perhaps because they came directly to my mind, that I never doubted the authenticity of those memories, but I was never able to find out what they were."
He glanced at the Primal Magnetic Land, his tone also full of puzzlement.
"When I came to the land of Yuanci just now, maybe because of the particularity of this place, those memory fragments in my brain suddenly became extremely active, and I vaguely seemed to be able to see that that person had put the mountain and sea ring in the Xuanniao on the head of the Zhenqin sword."
"And the mountain and sea ring is the inheritance of Guiguzi, this thing has a spirit to recognize the master, only you are the owner of it, because of this, so I will say that maybe you enter the dream of the Zhenqin Sword again, you will know what to do, and now it seems that this sword is indeed related to you."
"Maybe the time hasn't come yet, I don't know anything else either, but since Guiguzi told you that there is a second seal waiting for you to uncover the Zhenqin Sword, you might as well open the Zhenqin Sword now and see if there are any other clues in it."
This sudden news made me a little difficult to accept, and Chunting's voice fell, and I once again fell into uneasy thoughts.
It was obvious from what Chun Ting had just said that although he didn't know what had happened back then, he didn't seem to reject the idea that he had existed as early as the Spring and Autumn Period.
In front of the mysterious Guiguzi, who has the means to reach the sky, and then there are Yebai and Chunting, two mysterious people who come from nowhere, and at the same time think of the fate of Guanshan and weak water entangled for thousands of years, unconsciously, I seem to have stepped into a chess game prepared by fate.
However, I know that there are many dangers in this chess game, but there is no reason to get out.
Whether it is Chunting and Yihe, who have long been familiar with them, or the ancient giant Wuzhiqi seen in the Vientiane Divine Palace, or even the Guiguzi seen in the dream, their statements are all extremely unified.
They all firmly believe that I am the legendary child of fate, the key to solving all the mysteries, and if I want to restore peace to Shenzhou, I will never be able to do it alone.
And even if I think it's just their speculation, I'm not the source of all problems, nor the legendary fateful person, and there are two problems in front of me.
The first of these questions, and the biggest problem in the history of philosophy, is who is "I"?
The second question involves my original intention of embarking on this road.
