Chapter 20: Surprise
After going through it once, Jiang Yun also figured out what was going on with the whole story of the fragment of time and space of the 'temple'.
Not to mention the things he has experienced, there are many key points, he has some guesses of his own, and he feels that eight or nine are not far from ten.
From beginning to end, Jiang Yun didn't see those three demon rifts, but they definitely existed, and so many demons wouldn't appear out of thin air.
It's just that the demon rift that appeared around the Xiaoyin Temple should not be a natural generation, but has a full relationship with the magic sword.
The magic sword may be a weapon left behind by a powerful demon of ancient times, or it may be the form of a monster that has been suppressed. In short, it was left in this place and gradually awakened forty years ago.
After awakening, the demon sword began to show its power and influence, and made three demon rifts, but it was discovered by the pure heart mage, so this high monk from the White Dragon Temple began to deal with this problem.
Of course, the Demon Sword could not be willing to be suppressed, and it could not directly resist the Pure Heart Mage, so on the night of the incident, it exploded its power and attracted the demons wandering around.
The attraction emitted by the magic sword has a huge effect on humans, let alone demons.
When the pure heart suppressed the magic sword, those demons who were sent to death one by one were obviously seduced by the magic sword. Otherwise, no matter how murderous and brainless the demons are, they are still intelligent monsters, and they will not do it for nothing.
The Demon Sword uses these dying demons to drain the power of the Pure Heart Mage.
Although the demons present are not particularly powerful, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Especially in the later stage, when the number of demons rushing to death reaches a certain level, even a pure heart can't bear it. His mana was unsustainable, and he allowed the magic sword to seize the opportunity and break free.
It is precisely because of this that there is the final scene: the pure heart mage extinguishes the Buddha's heart, burns himself, and dies with the magic sword.
Jiang Yun is very self-aware, he knows that he is a three-star figure in the realm of enlightenment, and although he intervened in this incident forty years ago, although he helped a little, it was definitely not enough to affect the final outcome. Even if there were no twenty or thirty demons he killed, the Pure Heart Mage would consume more mana, and it would not hinder the overall situation.
However, in the final stage, he helped to watch over Xuanyi, probably helping more than killing the demons.
Xuanyi didn't die, and he lived well until forty years later. When the magic sword broke free, in the face of that powerful temptation, even if Jiang Yun chanted the 'Spirit Summoning Spell', he almost couldn't bear it, let alone Xuanyi.
In the fragment of time and space, he pulled Xuanyi, and in real history, without himself, I am afraid that it was the pure heart mage who further divided his energy to protect his little apprentice.
As for another small question, why did Xuanyi have such a powerful master, but he would be a weak chicken forty years later? Jiang Yun guessed that after Xuanyi became an orphan because of the war, he had just been taken in by Chunxin when he encountered the incident in Xiaoyin Temple, and Chunxin hadn't had time to leave the cultivation method at all, so Xuanyi naturally didn't have to learn.
Thinking about it this way, this guy is not easy. When he was in his early tens, he had no parents and relatives, so he couldn't afford to have a kind master, and he died two days later, leaving him a little boy and a temple, and he ended up messing up forty years later.
This person has no martial arts, but in other aspects, I am afraid that he also has his own ability, otherwise he would have starved to death as early as childhood and adolescence.
Jiang Yun didn't have any interest in how Xuanyi spent those difficult years later.
After reminiscing a little about the whole fragment of time, with some regret and sadness, he controlled his spirit body and 'floated' towards the tin staff that flashed in the gray space.
Halfway through, he realized that something seemed wrong...... Why is your spirit body still so big?
He was supposed to only have a quarter of the size of his spirit left, and he should have one last chance to pass through, and he would have exhausted all his energy.
According to the previous example, his current spirit body should be very small, but now it seems that the difference is not very big from before the crossing.
Troubleshoot delta issues first. Traveling through the fragments of time, no matter what kind of evaluation you get or what you do in it, it shouldn't cause a change in the energy of the time, which is a fixed consumption for each time you travel. Increments, only if you kill living beings in the real world.
So...... Is it a matter of consumption? Could it be that the consumption of different time fragments is different?
After thinking about it, it's quite possible.
He thinks so, mainly by analyzing the difference between the two fragments.
The level of power involved in the fragments of 'Escape from Prison' is very high, there are at least three Abyss Realms, and among the Jinyi Guards who are chasing Chang Li, there will also be a large number of Provisional Realms, and even a lot of Ming Realms.
And in the 'temple', although the origin of the magic sword is probably not small, and it may even involve some ancient legends or something, but after all, the strength it shows can be suppressed by the pure heart of the Ming Realm. And apart from this sword alone, there is nothing stronger in the fragment of time, and those demons are all low-level existences.
In addition to the strength of the force within the shard, the duration of the shard is also an issue. The former is more than two days, and the latter is just one night and half an afternoon.
According to the estimate, if you can get a little energy by killing a mountain wolf, then the energy required to pass through a 'prison escape' is about 100, and it takes about 15 points to travel through a 'temple'. And the traversing energy he currently possesses, there are still ninety-three points.
Quite enough for him to wear the 'temple' six more times!
That's a big surprise.
The sorrow in his heart was diluted a lot, and he continued to float towards the tin staff, and his hand touched it.
There are many images flashing on the tin staff, including the picture of him fighting with many demons outside the door of the Buddha Hall, and the picture of him finally holding Xuanyi.
Eventually, these images merged into a big 'Ding' character.
Jiang Yun wanted to roll his eyes, but he couldn't do it in the spirit state.
Although he had already prepared, he would still be a little upset when he found out that he was really a 'Ding'.
"Lao Tzu worked hard to fight the demons, and he also protected Xuanyi's oil bottle, why can't you give me a little higher?"
Grumbling, he still received the reward.
The white light condensed into a miniature version of the fangs that looked like a tooth demon, about the size of half a little finger, which was threaded through the rope, and if you looked closely, there were some mysterious patterns carved on it.
