Chapter 21: Are You Afraid of Becoming a Scholar?
At this time, it was already May, and there were less than eight months before the cultivators' conference, Yin Zhimo and Gongyi Shi'an also seized the time to cultivate, and after a good rest, they went to the Tower of Babel, according to the understanding of the two, there are three Towers of Babel, one for cultivating spiritual power, one for cultivating aura, and one for collecting classics.
"Have you figured out which one you're going to?" The end of the silver looked at Gongyi Shi'an.
"Hmm...... I want to cultivate spiritual power. Gongyi Shi'an thought for a moment. "What about you?"
"I don't care, I can go anywhere, it's all chicken anyway. The end of the silver spread his hands.
Gongyi Shi'an couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The two stood in front of the Tower of Babel, and the elders guarding the tower seemed to have been instructed to do so, and did not embarrass them.
When seeing the two of them choose the Spirit Tower, the elder once kindly advised, "The Spirit Tower is very dangerous, it will simulate what people are most afraid of in their subconscious, and if two people enter together, it will only be effective for the one with strong mental power." β
Gongyi Shi'an frowned and looked at Yinzhimo, "Or, when I come out, you will go in?"
After all, his spiritual power is stronger than the end of the silver, and if they enter together, wouldn't the end of the silver be equivalent to a trip for nothing.
"What are you talking about? I didn't hear you. Silver's end scratched his ears.
Gongyi Shi'an was embarrassed, he suspected that the end of the silver was deliberate, "I said ......"
"Alright, let's go. "The end of the silver walks in front of Gongyi Shi'an.
Well, he just deliberately pretended not to hear.
Yinzhimo and Gongyi Shi'an went to the Tower of Babel to cultivate spiritual power, the tower door was a blurred circle of light, and after the two stepped in, it was like entering a mimic environment, surrounded by a desert, and the blazing wind was coming, blowing on the face and causing pain.
"What is this place?" Gongyi Shi'an wondered.
Yinzhimo spread his hands and was very dazed, "This is something in your head, you ask me?"
"But......" Gongyi Shi'an scratched his head, "I've never been to this kind of place......"
Ginnoki looked around, "So you're afraid of being alone in the desert." β
"Uh......" Gongyi Shi'an said that he didn't know if it was.
"There!" Ginnomu suddenly pointed to the gray-yellow sandbag, "See, there seems to be a small house there." β
Yinzhimo originally wanted to use spiritual power or spiritual weapons, but he found that all the abilities of the cultivators here seemed to have disappeared, and they had become mortals with no power to restrain them. The two of them used their sleeves to shield themselves from the wind and sand and went to the place of the small house.
Push open the door, With a squeak, the dilapidated door frame trembled in the hot wind and sand, swaying from side to side, the two were afraid that it would stop eating completely, so they hurried in and closed the door again, the room was not big, but it was very tidy, there was a window, the window was mottled glass, under the window was a neatly packed single bed, a table by the window, a stool, the shape and material of the stool did not seem to be something that this continent would have, there was a writing lamp on the table, under the lamp two snow-white manuscript papers, only a circle was drawn on it, and next to it was a sharpened pencilγ
"It's weird. Silver Mom muttered on the glass, "This is not like the material of the spar, there are no spiritual power fluctuations." β
Gongyi Shixin touched his head emptily, it seems that this is his previous world, so there is no spiritual power, let alone a spiritual weapon, and all the things in the Abyssal Sea Continent do not exist and are not used here.
Yin Zhimo looked at the neat bed and touched his chin, "Could it be that it is for you to lie on the bed and cultivate spiritual power?"
"No kidding. Gongyi Shi'an also looked around, "The Tower of Babel has six floors, this should be the first floor, and this room should be the passage to the second floor, but I don't know how to get in." β
Silver Tail suddenly sighed, "The higher the six-story Tower of Babel goes, the deeper it goes to the depths of the spirit, it can dig out fears that you can't even imagine, you do what you can, don't be reckless." β
Gongyi Shi'an felt warm and a little funny at the same time, "I know. You don't know what's going to happen here, so you need to be safe and protect yourself. β
"Huh......" Yinzhimo pursed his lips, "This is what you are afraid of, and it is not what I am afraid of, what am I afraid of?"
Gongyi Shi'an thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the truth.
The two racked their brains for a long time and couldn't find how to get to the second floor, tossing for a long time, Gongyi Shi'an couldn't help but sit down on the chair, and then walked A feeling of desolation and loneliness struck, that feeling was too familiar, like ...... It was like when he was in the old world, he was locked up in a cramped dark room with only a bed, a table, a chair, and him alone. He's so lonely, really lonely.
"What's wrong with you?" Yinzhimo saw Gongyi Shi'an sitting on a chair in a regular manner, with his eyelids lowered, as if the whole person was not in front of him, but thousands of miles away, so lonely......
Gongyi Shi'an's lowered eyelids suddenly shed two lines of tears, which looked particularly sad under the light of the writing lamp.
Yinzhimo shook Gongyi Shi'an, "What's wrong with you? Wake up!"
Gongyi Shi'an was in a daze, his spirit suddenly became dazed, followed by sadness, and finally loneliness, just like the vast desert, a radius of a hundred miles, only him, no friends, no relatives, no one cares about him, no one remembers him......
Gongyi Shi'an slowly raised his hand, picked up the pencil on the table, and drew a stroke on the circle in the middle of the snow-white manuscript paper, cutting the circle in half, as if he was placing himself on the opposite side of the whole world.
Yinzhiwu was helpless, and suddenly the air around him fluctuated, and the environment gradually became blurred, and Yinzhiwu grabbed Gongyi Shi'an's arm for fear that the two would be separated.
In the desolate desert, the detached huts disappeared and were replaced by a school, a classroom, a row of desks.
"What the hell is this?" Yinzhimo said that he really didn't know what Gongyi Shi'an was thinking in his head, and nothing here looked like the existence of the Yuanhai Continent.
"This is ......" This is what Gongyi Shi'an saw when he broke free from his grief.
This was his elementary school, and he looked at the calendar on the wall, the day he was called a monster and then diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Gongyi Shi'an clenched his hands, and this feeling of helplessness always made him helpless. He looked at the window in the last row, where there was supposed to be a pale teenager.
Yinzhimo didn't speak, but just grabbed Gongyi Shi'an's wrist tighter.
"Jingle Bell ......" The class bell rang suddenly.
The end of the silver looked around like a great enemy, like an 'eagle' guarding a chicken. Gongyi Shi'an suddenly felt relieved, and the negative emotions that tried to erode his spirit and plunged him into pain were blocked out by the ten-year-old boy in front of him.
"Don't worry...... he patted Ginnosuke on the shoulder, "it's just the class bell." β
"Class?" Ginnosue frowned, "Do you need to fight?"
Gongyi Shi'an burst out laughing, "No, nothing, it's a theory class." β
I saw that Yinzhimu thought very seriously for a moment, "Are you afraid of becoming a scholar?"
β......β
That's how you understand it. Gongyi Shi's peace of mind.
If you want to explain it to him, it will inevitably involve the things of the previous life, which is not the same world, not to mention whether he can understand it even if he says the end of the silver, as far as his psychological shadow of the previous life is concerned, he is not willing to talk about it again, which is equivalent to taking out the previous pain again.
"Alright, let's get down to business. Gongyi Shi'an smiled and looked at the empty seat, "I know how to get to the third floor. β
Ginnomu looked at him in disbelief, "Is it so simple?"
Is it simple?
For today's Gongyi Shi'an, it may be.
And what about the previous ones?
Desperate to put yourself on the opposite side of the world, or to be treated as a monster, a lonely person sitting under the windowsill and watching others laugh and play, as if rejected by the whole world......
Whatever it was, it was what he feared the most.
But only once......
He suddenly stretched out his hand and looked down at the tip of the silver shoe, "Would you like to hug me?"
Yinzhimo was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't know why, as if he was infected by loneliness, he looked at the young man with his eyelids lowered in front of him, and suddenly became very sad, but it was not only sad, but also warm......
Yinzhimo opened his arms and gently hugged Gongyi Shi'an, and the uneven heart rate between his chests told him that it was true, and that someone was willing to protect him and hug him.
"Thank you......" Gongyi Shi'an said softly, then let go of the end of the silver and sat down in that lonely position.
It was a familiar sadness that struck in an instant. The outside of the teaching building suddenly became lively, young beings chasing each other, laughing and scolding, full of vitality, and he, only him, was isolated alone in the corner of the classroom, he was so sad and wronged......
After seeing Gongyi Shi'an sitting in that position, Yinzhimo changed into the previous appearance of rejecting people thousands of miles away, like a cloud blooming in the sky, ethereal, blurred, as if it would disperse in an instant......
He grabbed Gong Yi Shi'an's arm again, and no matter what, he would never leave his side for half a step, unless he cut off his hands and feet.
The surrounding environment became blurred and distorted again, and the high-rise school buildings disappeared, and the place that appeared at this moment was even more beyond the scope of Silver Ending's cognition.
Gongyi Shi'an opened his eyes, the environment here was a psychiatric hospital, this empty room was the office of the doctor who treated him, simple decoration, a table full of medical records, a black leather swivel chair, and a white coat hanging on a wooden hanger.
Yinzhimo suddenly let go of Gongyi Shi'an's hand and kicked at the black swivel chair, which was kicked to the ground with a piercing squeak.
Gongyi Shi'an was stunned for a moment, "You...... What are you doing?"
Ginnosue clapped his hands, "It's going to get weird every time you sit on a chair, I guess there's a ghost in this chair." β
β......β
Gongyi Shi'an wants to say that this is really just a coincidence.
"I can't ...... it" Gongyi Shi'an sighed, "What was so fearful to me, I am not afraid at all with you......"
Gongyi Shi'an's words made Yinzhimo stunned for a moment, and then laughed and raised his eyebrows, "How do you want to thank me?"
