Chapter 888: Empty Reality
It's just that in Nangong Blue Butterfly's exploration, the defeat of Nangong Yue and Shizun is not directly related. The reason why Shizun was defeated was completely because he miscalculated the combat power of the Quartet Clan, so that he ended up defeated. For the Quartet Clan, Nangong Blue Butterfly is very clear, especially thinking of Lao Xiaotou's extremely weird man, she feels that there is nothing unacceptable about the defeat of Shizun.
As for Nangong Yue, it is obvious that he has no connection with this matter, and this time it is only natural for Nangong Yue to take over the entire authority within the clan. Therefore, it is understandable that Nangong Yue recalled her, or put her under house arrest in disguise, Nangong Blue Butterfly, after all, Shizun is now in a competitive relationship with him.
Nangong Blue Butterfly was lying on the bed of the inn, tossing and turning but couldn't sleep, and in her thoughts, there was always a ridiculous thought lingering.... That is, all this seems to be related to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Blue Butterfly wanted to get this thought out of her mind, but her efforts brought more thoughts.
I don't know how long she struggled before she fell asleep in a daze, and when she woke up again, it was already dawn.
Nangong Blue Butterfly hurriedly got up, and after washing, she walked out of the inn and wandered around the streets as usual.
At this moment, a guard walked up to her, bowed very politely, made an inviting gesture and said, "The city lord invites the Blue Butterfly girl to the banquet."
Castle Lord! Naturally, it is Nangong Yue. Nangong Blue Butterfly was slightly stunned, and secretly thought in her heart, it was time to finally come. Her heart raced a little, and the thought that had been in her mind from the previous night seemed to resurface.
Nangong Blue Butterfly tried to suppress her inner thoughts, her steps murmured, and she followed the guards towards a tall mansion.
Today it is obvious that Nangong Yue is not in the city.
Turning the street, Nangong Blue Butterfly saw an incomparably tall manor, with a tight outer wall that was dozens of zhang high. Outside the walls, there are also countless guards of the family, and the whole estate looks like a palace.
For such an imposing building, Nangong Blue Butterfly was not surprised, because with Nangong Yue's status today, it is no different from the emperor. She was just curious why Nangong Yue wanted to build such a palace in Xiao City. You must know that Xiao Cheng has never been a comfortable place.
With a hint of doubt, Nangong Blue Butterfly and the guards knocked on the vermilion lacquer gate of the manor and walked into the courtyard.
Inside is more like a cave, countless rockery pavilions, promenade pavilions and buildings, waterfalls and springs, birds and flowers, the whole manor is like another fairyland.
Seeing this scene, Nangong Blue Butterfly had to admire Nangong Yue for enjoying it, which was much stronger than Shizun. Nangong Ru is a Confucian character, he doesn't care about the living environment, he just likes to be quiet, he built his residence between the cliffs, extremely simple, if it weren't for Nangong Blue Butterfly clearly knowing Nangong Ru's character, he thought he was assigned here. At this time, Nangong Yue is like a copy of Nangong Confucian, which can be said to be full of extravagance and luxury.
For environmental enjoyment, these Nangong Blue Butterflies have no prejudice, she neither likes Nangong Ru's sour atmosphere, nor does she like the excessive extravagance here. For her, it is still the crowd of people walking outside, and the mundane trivial matters are more real.
Along a bluestone path, through the winding rockery, bamboo forest, Nangong Blue Butterfly walked into a small bamboo building with extremely elegant scenery.
Walk up the stairs on the second floor, and inside is an exquisite living room.
There are only a few tea sets, but they have raised the owner's taste to the extreme, because the tea sets are all works of art carved from the best rough stones, as well as those pictures and texts, which are all golden threads. As for the tables and chairs, they are also extraordinary, and there is a kind of extravagance everywhere.
When Nangong Blue Butterfly walked into the living room, behind the screen opposite, a curling music was played. At this time, Nangong Landie realized that there was a secret pavilion inside this living room, and the music came out of it.
Nangong Blue Butterfly sighed convincingly, this Nangong Yue is really good at enjoyment.
As soon as she lost her mind, a light cough came from behind her. The next moment, a screen was lifted, and a sturdy middle-aged man walked out of it, his eyes were light with a hint of coldness, he looked at Nangong Blue Butterfly and said with a smile: "Blue Butterfly niece, she is really beautiful, and she is worthy of the title of the first beauty of the foreign race." Nangong Yue strode out, although there was still an uncomfortable deterrent on his body, he was no longer domineering, more like an elder.
Facing the person in front of him who had an imposing attitude that was diametrically opposed to yesterday's city, Nangong Landie had to secretly exclaim in his heart, Shizun was really right, this person was so scheming.
"Niece, Nangong Blue Butterfly greets Uncle Yue on behalf of the Master" Then Nangong Blue Butterfly was very sincere and saluted Nangong Yue.
"Why do you have to do this great gift, Yue is not one of those pedantic people, for a phoenix chick like a virtuous niece, Yue is very envious, if you don't give up, you are willing to make friends with a year-old gift" Nangong Yue said with a panicked expression.
Ah, this sentence directly made Nangong Landie's expression froze, she never thought that a person who was in charge of the entire Nangong family would actually pay her equals, such a courtesy, if it was someone else, she might immediately be grateful and tearful, and be willing to die for it. It's just that at the moment, Nangong Blue Butterfly declined Nangong Yue's kindness very calmly, and still worshiped him as a junior.
"Anyway, everyone has their own ambitions, since the virtuous niece has other plans, Yue is no longer reluctant, but the virtuous niece is here, and it must also be made Yue a little bit of the friendship of the landlord" Nangong Yue's joy and anger did not stop in the form, so Nangong Blue Butterfly couldn't see whether he was angry or not.
"Then disturb Senior Uncle Yue" Nangong Landie didn't dare to offend Nangong Yue too much now, after all, the life and death of the master were uncertain at the moment, maybe only by relying on this person could he get the news of the master.
"Virtuous niece, please sit down, someone will pour tea" Nangong Yue waved his hand, and immediately a maid walked out, offering tea step by step, making Nangong Blue Butterfly a little embarrassed to pick up tea.
"Virtuous niece, is it suitable for taste?" Nangong Yue lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then looked at Nangong Blue Butterfly with a kind expression.
"Uh, it's good, my niece has never drunk such a good tea," Nangong Landie put down the teacup and hurriedly replied.
"Niece, let's taste these refreshments again" Nangong Yue once again placed a pot of colorful dim sum in front of her.
Nangong Blue Butterfly didn't know what medicine was buried in Nangong Yue's gourd, why did he persuade himself to taste tea and eat dessert, it seemed that he summoned himself for this reason.
Nangong Blue Butterfly wouldn't be really naïve, and it was inconvenient for her to pick it out, so she could only eat dim sum with a false attitude.
Listening to the songs, dances, and music.
Before you know it, hours have passed..... In the end, Nangong Yue stood up and said very politely: "My niece and Yue have a great time together, why don't you stay for dinner."
At this time, Nangong Blue Butterfly realized that the sky was already dark, and they actually sat here bored for an afternoon.
"How can you bother again, if the uncle is fine, the niece will leave" Nangong Landie couldn't hold it back, and tested the other party with words.
"Hehe, since this is the case, Yue will no longer force him to stay, and someone will send his niece back to the premises to rest" To Nangong Landie's surprise, Nangong Yue not only did not show her thoughts, but also pushed her back to the inn.
Since then, Nangong Landie has been under house arrest again. She really couldn't understand, why did Nangong Yue have a half-day banquet? And what exactly he was trying to do with his contrived words.
Hai'er pinched his fingers with both hands and pressed a little harder at the void, and suddenly a circle of space-time ripples rippled like water waves. His arm raised slightly, and a ripple of time spun rapidly with his gesture. Hai'er's figure is like being on the surface of a clear lake, and every gesture and movement will bring sparkling waves.
"Empty Shadow Senior, there are no elves here" Hai'er salvaged in a vast countercurrent time zone for a long time, and still turned around and shouted at the empty old man without finding anything. There was a hint of loss on his face, especially those dark and bright eyes, which were clearly emotional.
"Hai'er, you think that the space-time spirit is so easy to capture, it's not everywhere, let's go, let's come back tomorrow" The old man took a step forward, grabbed Hai'er's wrist, and dragged him out of the time zone of the rapid spiral countercurrent.
"But it clearly senses that it does exist" Hai'er was still a little reluctant, and slowly walked up with the empty old man. Grumble as you go.
"Hai'er, do you know what space-time sensing is? It's not a sense of emptiness or anything like that, as long as the time and location coordinates are determined, you can definitely find it, but the space-time sense needs to cross time zones, locate in different time gradients, and find the corresponding time and space coordinates, which undoubtedly adds a dimension to the previous difficulty" The empty old man looked at Hai'er with a very appreciative look.
"Hai'er did this a few years ago, and Hai'er can now penetrate hundreds of time zones and finally lock on to a quarter of an hour," Hai'er replied with a confident expression.
"A quarter of an hour? Haier, do you know what a quarter of an hour error means in a turbulent zone? The empty old man asked patiently, staring at Hai'er's innocent and stubborn little face.
"A quarter of an hour, it's a short time, even if it's a time zone change, it's not too far away," Hai'er explained in an indifferent tone.
"That's right, it takes at least a few hundred ticks to convert time zones, but a quarter of an hour of turbulence can carry the target across most of the universe, which is a thousand miles of missing a fraction" The empty old man stared at Hai'er and sighed, and then explained: "Time zone coordinates are different from space coordinates, it will jump, each jump is changed on a cosmic scale, if you want to accurately locate a target in a time zone, you must control the induction within one-fifth of a moment, which is the smallest step unit in the time zone."
"Why is Hai'er on the wooden boat unaffected?" Hai'er was still a little unconvinced and retorted to the empty old man.
"Do you know the truth of sailing against the current, the original speed of the wooden boat was only three points, and it was delayed to a quarter of an hour, so what you feel is not actually a quarter of an hour, but only three points" The empty old man looked at him again with admiration, and reached out to stroke Hai'er's head.
The old man of Kongyou really likes Hai'er's apprentice, especially Hai'er inherited the cultivation qualifications of Huan Hai and the fire fox, as well as his intelligence, so that the old man of Kongyou saw a possibility in Hai'er, that is, his dream that could not be realized in his early years.
He still regards Haier as a carrier for him to realize his dreams. Therefore, he unreservedly taught Hai'er all the experience he had perceived in the time zone for millions of years, and not only that, but he also took Hai'er to practice it himself, trying to catch those time essences.
For Hai'er, he was originally born in the reverse current of time and space, and he has a talent for time sensitivity, and he likes to play with those time spirits, which makes him have a higher talent for time and space perception. Therefore, in a short period of a few years, he mastered the sense of time zone.
Although the old man is strict with Hai'er, he knows very well that Hai'er's progress has exceeded his imagination. You must know that it took him hundreds of years to touch the door of time zone sensing, and he has not yet been born with a spirit rhino similar to super sense.
Hai'er's innocent eyes are like the stars of the night, shining with the luster of wisdom. He blinked slightly, then nodded frequently in understanding and said: "This is like the principle of carving a boat to ask for a sword, the target I sense is the position of the river that does not flow, and now that the river is flowing, the target I sense does not exist."
Hai'er's words, the old man nodded frequently, he stroked his beard and praised: "Yes, Hai'er's metaphor is very appropriate, the most difficult thing to do in the time zone is to determine the speed of the water, and how much time has passed relative to time, such sensing accuracy is very difficult to control, but the old man believes that with Hai'er's talent and qualifications, he will find the target in a short time."
The empty old man's words were not blindly encouraging, but also some self-confidence. He had already witnessed the miracles of Hai'er more than once, so he himself was full of endless curiosity about Hai'er.
"Thank you for the guidance of the seniors, Hai'er understands" Hai'er's eyes lit up, and he jumped on the back of a time-space essence, and he and the old man of Kongyou stood side by side, shuttling and playing in the countercurrent of each time zone. In such a picture, I can only see the sea standing a few time zones away, and the sea on the side of the wooden boat frowns frequently.
"Brother Fox, you said they wouldn't be in danger, right?" Huan Hai, a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, staring at the fire fox with great attachment. It's an expression of love, or worship.
"It's okay, the old man is not a person without rules, he is sincerely teaching Hai'er this time, I believe that it won't be long before his little mastery will be hollowed out by Hai'er" The fire fox glanced at Huan Hai with extremely confident eyes.
Huan Hai smiled sweetly when he heard this: "Brother Fox is right, Hai'er's qualifications are indeed extraordinary, he only took half a year to hollow out Shu Lao, when Shu Lao found me to cry, I still doubted it, who knew that it would not be long before Hai'er could take over his control of the wooden boat and make such an amazing move."
