Volume 1 Chapter 9 One Step at a Time

Starry and night.

Mei Wangchen stood in front of the White Mist Stone Bridge, looked at the glimmer under the bridge, patted the shoulder of the little sword brother behind him, nodded to Zhao Fengchun and the others, and then swaggered into the white mist under the gaze of Wu Xuanyuan's indifferent eyes.

The fog became thicker and thicker, and the glimmer in front of me seemed to be getting farther and farther away, as if it would never reach the end.

When Mei Wangchen walked about fifty steps, a sudden stream of water vapor hit his face, and the scenery in front of him changed.

......

Verdant.

Mei Wangchen stood on a forest path.

It was still night, but now the sun was shining.

Obviously, he was still under the stone bridge just now, in the thick fog, and now he was already in the deep mountains and dense forests. The path in the forest is unwilling to struggle, but it still can't withstand the weeds and wildflowers around it, and it is about to be buried among the mountains and forests that no one knows.

For the first time, Mei Wangchen's usual smiling face showed a solemn look.

The good-looking brow furrowed slightly, and he circled around, and there was no figure.

Obviously, so many people walked in just now, but they disappeared without a trace at this moment.

"The green bamboo has a festival, and the meeting is silent. One step is also a scene, and there are thousands of fates. ”

A clear voice came from the sky, echoing through the trees, and did not stop for a long time.

Mei Wangchen felt that there seemed to be something hard next to his waist, and when he looked down, he saw that there was an extra green bamboo on his belt at some point.

The green bamboo is not long, more than one foot, there are many knots on the bamboo, and under the careful counting, there are nine knots.

Mei Wangchen took the inexplicable extra green bamboo and looked at it carefully, but he didn't find anything different.

From the moment he arrived in this forest, he felt that something was wrong, everything around him was lifelike, but there seemed to be something missing, and something was not real in the haze.

It's useless to think about it more, since Senior Brother Yi said before that he wanted to go and see more, then let's take a look myself.

So, he followed the forest path, took his left foot, and took the first step......

From the moment his left foot stepped on the ground, he felt that something was wrong, his feet were soft and slightly sunken, but it was not mud, it was sand.

Mei Wangchen raised his eyes and saw that his eyes were full of yellow sand, and he was in a desert.

He bowed his head in contemplation, he had only taken a step forward, but in an instant he had come to another unrelated place, thousands of miles away, one moment in the dense forest, the next he was already in the desert.

The gale rolled up a piece of yellow sand, blowing on Mei Wangchen's face, slightly stinging, he was silent for a while, then looked at the sand dunes in the distance and blinked, his nose twitched twice, stretched out his tongue and licked his slightly sweaty little thumb, and then drilled his little thumb dipped in saliva into his ear and pulled it out twice.

A wry smile bloomed at the corner of Mei Wangchen's mouth, he took a breath of cold air gently, and said to himself in a low voice: "Audio, sound, smell, smell, touch, all five senses...... What a powerful phantom array......"

Mei Wangchen thought for a moment, but did not rush to take the next step, but sat on the ground, carefully observing the surrounding scene, as if he wanted to memorize all the details.

It didn't take long for him to get up slowly, lift his feet, and take another step forward firmly.

As expected, when the foot stones stepped on the ground, Mei Wangchen was no longer in the desert.

The waves tirelessly crashed on the beach, and the foamy waves condensed in front of Mei Wangchen, and then refused to disperse for a long time. He stood alone on the shore of an island, looking at the surrounding scenery in silence, but his slightly glowing eyes betrayed his mood at the moment.

"Interesting, really interesting. ”

Still the same as before, Mei Wangchen did not rush to take the next step, but carefully observed the surrounding scenery.

After looking at it for a while, he confirmed that he had roughly memorized it, and decided to leave here, so he raised his leg and put it down.

Forest paths, desert dunes, island shores, creek stone bridges, cornice palaces......

Countless scenery kept changing in front of Mei Wangchen's eyes, and he still patiently observed every place he went to before walking away.

By the time he reached the sixth step, the scene in front of him had changed to a snow-capped mountain, and he did not look at his surroundings anymore and did not continue to walk.

"No, it's still not right. The positions are all relative, since it's not me moving, then Jing is walking?" he rubbed the corners of his sour eyes, and immediately denied his conjecture, "No, Jing and I are both moving, but this doesn't make sense, since the subjective thing is moving here, and the objective things are also moving, so how to find the place or thing that we need to find? Something is constant......"

Is it the stone, the gravel, or the sun?

But he's already walked six steps, and he's pretty sure that he's looked at every tiny detail, seven steps and seven scenes, and there's nothing specific about them connected to each other......

The snow-capped mountains are covered with goshawks, and occasionally goshawks fly by, and the eagles are in the air, which looks very bright in front of this snow-capped mountain.

Mei Wangchen was suddenly startled, and his frowning brows instantly relaxed.

No matter where you stand, all the sounds come from one direction, it may be the east, or the west, or the south or the north, but no matter where it is, in short, all the sounds come from only one direction.

The insects in the woods, the waves crashing on the beach, the howling wind in the desert, the turbulent stream in front of the stone bridge, the music of the piano under the starry sky in the palace,

All these sounds came from only one direction.

People are moving, the scenery is moving, and the direction is naturally moving, the east of the previous step may be the north of this step, but in fact, the source of the sound is not moving, so as long as you walk in the direction where the sound comes, you will definitely find something.

Mei Wangchen shook his head and smiled, listening to the eagle chirping in the air from time to time, and walked forward.

......

When he reached the thirteenth step, a dilapidated thatched hut appeared in front of him.

Mei Wangchen was a little happy and a little disappointed.

I am glad that my judgment has been confirmed, and I am disappointed that nothing strange has happened, just a broken grass house.

Bang bang bang.

Mei Wangchen knocked lightly on the door.

An impatient old voice came from inside the door, "The door is not closed, knock on the door, come in by yourself." ”

Mei Wangchen was not hypocritical, and pushed the door in.

The next moment, the pupils in Mei Wangchen's beautiful eyes constricted, as he found himself suddenly standing on top of a towering cliff.

The last moment Mei Wangchen pushed open the wooden door of the thatched house, and the next moment he stood between the cliffs, and if he took one more step forward, he was about to fall to the bottom of the cliff and break his bones, although he knew in his heart that all the scenes here were just illusions, but his heart still couldn't stop twitching twice.
