58. Virtual Space
Hearing Zhou Tong say this, I immediately went to look at the length of the candle carefully, and found that what he said was slightly shorter was actually not visible at all if I didn't pay attention to it, and the two of him and Liuzi were also about a centimeter apart. In other words, the length of the candle represents the chronological order in which they were rescued.
But I still can't believe my ears, according to Zhou Tong, he should actually be in his fifties now, and the sixth son and Liu Yue are also nearly fifty? I looked the two of them up and down, and the instinct in my mind was: How could it be? They don't look old at all. Suddenly remembered that Huang Xingyuan's secret technique, from Zhou Jing and Chen Bing to Huang Tai Sin, their appearances were all younger than their actual age, could it be ...... They're all practicing this secret art, too?
They are different from others, I didn't hesitate to ask my doubts, only to see Zhou Tong shook his head and said: "Where can there be any secret arts, at first we also thought it was strange, and then asked Brother Yao to find out that we were crossed out of the book of life and death of the king of Hades, and we belonged to people who did not exist in the yin and yang worlds, in other words, we were actually dead more than 20 years ago, and the life lamp continued to be the soul." So our age will stop forever at that day. ”
Four words come to mind: borrow the corpse to return the soul!
Suddenly thought of one thing, if what Zhou Tong said was true, how old was Sheng Shiyao twenty years ago? Is he as old as they are? Or is he also living on some life-sustaining lamp and immortal card?
I opened my mouth to ask, but I was inexplicably a little scared in my heart, Zhou Tong looked at my face and smiled: "Do you want to ask Brother Yao?" Don't worry, look at this stone platform, there are only three of us lights, no Brother Yao. When we met Brother Yao, he was still a teenager, to be honest, I was not convinced of him at first, although he saved our lives, but how can you want us adults to be sincere to a teenager, but then one thing after another proved that his ability is extraordinary, no matter wisdom, talent and calmness when encountering problems, we are impressed by him. That Brother Yao, shouted and shouted. ”
Secretly exhaled, after all, that person's age is normal, if even he and Zhou Tong are like them, in fact, he is an old man over fifty years old or even older, I really don't know how to react. With a thought in my mind, since I have said this, I might as well ask the same questions that bothered me before.
"Can you tell me if it's true or false that he was beaten by a group of people when we first met?"
The corners of Zhou Tong's mouth twitched when he heard this, as if he wanted to laugh and felt embarrassed, "Little sister, what is the matter...... Let's not mention it. Needless to say, it must be fake, the answer is expected, but ...... "The injuries on his body don't look fake."
I only heard the six sons who had been silent next to him interject: "Now there is a profession called special effects makeup artist." ”
I looked at him suspiciously, "Will you?" He shook his head, and Zhou Tong sighed beside him, "Ah Yuehui, the injuries on Brother Yao's body are all turned into special techniques." "Well, I'm speechless. The question is, why set up a bureau to bring me in?
Zhou Tong said: "I don't know about this, I just listened to Brother Yao's arrangement at that time, and we just did it." ”
"You haven't wondered?"
"Doubt," Zhou Tong affirmed: "Brother Yao pulled you into the gang, Ah Yue is the most opposed, you must know that the three of us have followed him for more than 20 years, and the relationship and tacit understanding are not cultivated overnight, and suddenly more you joined, and Brother Yao didn't give us anything to say, so I always felt awkward, so I avoided you when I talked about it at first." Later, after a series of experiences, don't look at Ah Yue's cold face, she actually recognized you in her heart. It's just ......" At this point, he paused, leaned back against the wall, and sadness swelled in his eyes.
Thinking of Liu Yue again, Liuzi put down the wine glass, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old Zhou, she will be fine." ”
When I mentioned this, I was still puzzled, "You spent 7749 days lighting a lamp for Liu Yue to renew her soul, what should you do next, go to the desert to find her again?" "Mainly in that place, it is almost an impossible task to take Liu Yue back from the Bat King.
"Find? How to find the vast desert? Zhou Tong said bitterly, "And even if we find the Black Stone Forest and find the quicksand pit that fell, we may not be able to enter that space realm." Little sister, that's a virtual space, it doesn't exist in the world at all. ”
I was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
"We fell from the quicksand pit to that place, and the space was not only large, but also high and not topless, how could it be so deep below the surface? And the animals inside are all supernatural and normal, when have you ever seen such a big mouse, and when have you ever seen a bat bigger than an airplane? ”
It is true that many things cannot be explained by natural science, but we have all experienced those things firsthand, and the facts are all there, and if it does not exist virtually, wouldn't it become an illusion?
Zhou Tong shook his head and said that it was not an illusion, it was a special physical phenomenon, just like people have souls, and any object has a soul. If the specific form is still there, then the soul will become one with the object, just like my shadow moon has a thousand-year-old spirit soul and has been spiritual. If the form of the object disappears and becomes a virtual space, then its soul will be scattered in the vast field and become some kind of special body remnant in the world. But not everyone can get into this special body by falling into the quicksand pit, it must fit its magnetic field.
I kind of understood what he meant, as if I was going to come to an agreement with the Shadow Moon Spirit, and the medium was that my blood was drunk by its blade. That ancient city died out and annihilated thousands of years ago, so its soul became a special space drifting away, the black stone forest is strange and inexplicable, maybe it is the ruins of the ancient city, at that time we entered the scope of the soul city, but it is not enough to construct the conditions for the magnetic field.
Be...... Chen Bing's summoning secret technique and the green glass bead in Sheng Shiyao's arms! The secret arts and beads were all passed down from the ancient city, so when Chen Bing summoned the animals under the sand layer, the magnetic field of the soul city had already been activated.
No wonder Zhou Tong felt desperate, now that we have neither Qinglizhu nor anyone who knows secret arts, even if we run into the desert and plant in the quicksand pit, what awaits us will only be death, not entering the Soul City. What's more, that space has long been claimed by bats, and if we want to rescue Liu Yue, it will be difficult to go to the sky.
As for the ancient town of Jinsha, which is extremely similar to that ancient city, it is almost certainly a replica of the founder of Huang Xingyuan's secret art after he went to the ancient city, and for some reason, he reproduced the original appearance of the ancient city to the world. But after all, copying is just copying, and it is impossible to find those special stones in the Soul City, let alone a fragrant cold jade bed, and even the amazing relief and mural carving technology cannot be imitated, so the murals in the ancient castle in Jinsha Ancient Town are relatively rough. The giant reliefs in the stone chamber can only be shown in the form of frescoes.
But it can be seen that this person is very rich in both financial resources and power, otherwise how could an ordinary person build such an ancient town? And his wisdom was so great that he was able to memorize all the murals. It's just one thing I don't understand, we entered the Soul City because of the green glass beads and the secret technique from the Soul City, so as to activate the magnetic field of the Soul City, but this person didn't have either at that time, how did he activate it? Also, did he enter the space alone or was there a group of people? If it were a man, how would he resist those beasts and the Bat King? If it's a group of people, how many come out, or is everyone else dead inside, and he's the only one left?
These doubts are difficult to find answers, and the secret is finally buried in the torrent of time.
The three of them were silent for a while, the dishes in the food box on the ground were almost not moving, the wine glasses of Zhou Tong and Liuzi were empty, and my glass was still full. I brought it to my lips and took a sip, and the spicy spicy went into my throat until it burned until my stomach, and the strength of the wine suddenly came up.
I said, "Zhou Tong, sixth son, we can be regarded as living and dying together, and now I will confess my thoughts to you." When I first met you, I thought that one of you was a smiling tiger, the other was a stuffy gourd, and Liu Yue was a knife. Later, after a long time, I was very envious of a few of you, trusting each other, sharing difficulties and blessings, and then you looked at me with a change in your eyes, and gradually regarded me as a companion, not to mention how happy I was at that time. So in the end, I tried my life to help you bring Liu Yue back, but it's a pity that ......"
Zhou Tong picked up the wine bottle and took a sip of it, then cried and smiled and patted me and said, "Little sister, don't say it, my brother understands." I snatched the bottle from his hand, filled it to myself, and said, "No, you don't understand!" After saying that, I drank the wine in the cup again, and it was so spicy that my tears came out.
"Little sister ......" and "Cheng Xiao......" both came to persuade me, and I threw the wine bottle on the ground in a rage, the glass was shattered, and the wine went around, shouting at them: "If you understand, why do you lie to me?" ”
Zhou Tong asked blankly: "What did we lie to you?" ”
I glared at them angrily and said word by word, "Where is Sheng Shiyao?" ”
The two looked stiff at the same time, and Zhou Tong responded quickly to answer: "Little sister, are you confused?" ”
"Hah!" I smiled desolately, and looked up to force the wetness in my eyes back into my eyes, "I've been secretly drinking my grandmother's self-brewed wine since I was eight years old, and I can drink half a pound at the age of eleven. He's not dead, he's not dead at all, how long are you going to lie to me? ”
"Little sister, this ...... I mean, Brother Yao didn't come out. ”
"He didn't come out to get us out of the desert? He didn't come out, can he do it for you for 7749 days to renew the lights for Liu Yue? He didn't come out, where did your virtual space theory come from? Zhou Tong, you give me a word, is Ah Khan him? And has he been around here all along? "It's all too clear to ask at this point. It was my brain that was stupid and didn't figure it out until just now, and I may have had doubts earlier, but I was blinded by grief, so that I couldn't see the people and things around me clearly.
The shock on the faces of Zhou Tong and Liuzi confirmed my inference even more. Sheng Shiyao didn't fall into that space at all, he came out with us, and disguised himself as the driver's eldest brother's buddy Khan, escorting us all the way. And this secret, obviously Yang Wenhao knows, Zhou informed, and the sixth son also knows, but I don't know.
If he was right in front of me, I would tug at the hem of his shirt and ask: Why?
