Chapter 157: World Fragments
The topography of the boundary mountain is very strange, even if there is a ring of mountains on the periphery, there is even a mountain wall inside that divides the area enclosed by the mountain into two parts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info God bless the cave they entered before, and there was a zigzag fork in the middle, leading to Netherworld Peak and Broken Soul Peak respectively.
The three of them just drilled out of this is the exit of the Netherworld Peak, in front of which is a white terrain like a volcanic crater of the snow field, the strange thing is that it is not round, but a twisted narrow shape, and in the center of the snow field stands a towering stone pillar like a lighthouse, which looks very abrupt, like a pillar that has been hit into the snow field from the sky.
"This place ......" Tianyou vaguely felt that the nearby terrain seemed to be seen somewhere, but he couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth.
"Do you see something weird?" Bai Bingyu looked at Tianyou with an encouraging smile, as if he hoped he could see something.
Compared with Bai Bingyu's encouragement, Bai Bingqian's expression was full of a kind of "you must not guess" meaning.
Although Tianyou is not the kind of person who wants to prove it to you if you say I can't do it, he is not a person without arrogance, so he rushed at Bai Bingqian's expression, and this tone also has to be contested.
In the puzzled gaze of the two Bai Bingyu sisters, Tianyou raised his left hand and raised it forward, clasped his four fingers, stretched out his thumb, and made a gesture of "like", but there was no object in front of him who could praise.
Ignoring the puzzled expressions of the two sisters around him, Tianyou closed one eye and used the other eye to observe the distant wall-like mountain wall through the outstretched thumb, and then changed his eye to observe it again, and then changed the direction to continue to measure. If it is a crossing crowd, it is not difficult to see that Tianyou uses a simple ranging method that is very common in the army, and can simply measure the distance between himself and the target when the accuracy is not high.
After changing directions several times in a row, Tianyou retracted his arm and took two steps forward, then squatted down and began to draw with his fingers on the flat snow, occasionally doing some calculations. Each time he calculated a little result, he would make up a few strokes on the snow on the right, and as he calculated, the pattern became more and more like a comma, and strangely there was a large dot in the center of the comma's big head.
Looking at the strange shape on the ground, Bai Bingqian's face was full of surprise, but Bai Bingyu was thoughtful.
"Is Broken Soul Peak over here?" the two were thinking, but Tianyou suddenly pointed to the blank space on the other side of the "comma" and asked.
Bai Bingyu reacted quickly, "Well, the mountains on both sides are symmetrical. ā
Hearing this, Tianyou immediately began to add a completely symmetrical comma on the opposite side of the figure on the ground, but after thinking about it, he suddenly reacted, and with a wave of his hand, he erased all the patterns he had drawn before, and then replaced it with a flat snow surface and quickly drew a circle, and then his fingers drew a sinuous S in the circle, and finally dotted an origin point in each of the two semicircles separated by S.
After completing this, Tianyou immediately stood up, took two steps back, looked at the pattern he had drawn on the snow, and said in surprise: "Jieshan is actually a Taiji diagram? Isn't this mountain naturally formed?"
This time it was Bai Bingqian's turn to look at Tianyou in surprise, because these were all things she had known for a long time, and Tianyou actually deduced the truth by herself, you must know that she couldn't believe it when she first heard about it, until once when the master took her to ride a flying sword over the boundary mountain, she looked down on the boundary mountain below from a high altitude, and then she really determined that the outline of the boundary mountain turned out to be a Taiji diagram.
"How did you figure it out?" Bai Bingqian finally couldn't help but ask.
Tianyou didn't answer Bai Bingqian's question, but looked at Bai Bingyu and asked, "Did I guess right?
Moving his gaze from the Taiji diagram on the ground back to Tianyou, Bai Bingyu spoke. "The boundary mountain was pulled out from under the ground by a certain immortal power before the battle of the catastrophe, and it is said that it was to temporarily take care of the captured demon captives, and for this reason, the enchantment seal was also inserted into the mountain, and since then there has been this huge prison, which is specially used to suppress the existence outside the human race. ā
"Something outside of the Terrans?"
"Demons, demons, ghosts, monsters, all inhuman things entering this mountain will be suppressed and sealed, unless someone takes them out, in this mountain, as long as it is not a human race, no matter how powerful you are, you will never be able to fight ordinary farmers. ā
"No wonder. Tianyou thought in his heart: "No wonder I didn't see the guards all the way over." With such a strong seal, this place really doesn't need to be guarded. ā
"Come on, I'll take you to see the undead here. Bai Bingyu greeted the bento and walked first, Tianyou immediately followed, Bai Bingqian was still behind and asked Tianyou how to see the terrain here, Tianyou was entangled and had no choice but to explain it to her, Bai Bingyu also listened with interest. It's a pity that these two girls haven't learned algebra, and addition and subtraction can be improvised, and they don't know anything about multiplication and division, even if they know the general principle, they can't calculate independently.
Explained all the way, until under the abrupt stone pillar, Bai Bingyu suddenly said: "God bless." ā
"Huh?"
"That's what you said...... Can you teach me some?"
"I'm going to learn too. ā
"No problem, just come to me when you have time. "Just teach addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and trigonometric functions, at most at the level of the first and second grades of junior high school, Tianyou thinks he can barely do it. Although he was not a top student back then, his grades were okay, especially after he became a military enthusiast and liked extreme sports and adventures, in order to be able to play with all kinds of survival equipment and individual weapons and equipment, he also made up for this kind of stuff for a while, and the foundation was quite solid.
The three of them spoke as they walked under the towering stone pillars. I didn't think it was far away before, but when I got closer, I found that the stone pillar was much bigger than I imagined, but because the snow field surrounded by this valley was too wide and there was no reference, I felt that the stone pillar was not big.
After Bai Bingyu's introduction, Tianyou knew that this stone pillar was actually the so-called Netherworld Peak, but if it wasn't for the shape being too regular, it would be reasonable to say that this volume was a peak.
There is a corridor dug out of the stone pillar at the bottom of the Netherworld Peak, and the corridor with a slope spirals around the stone pillar, and the circle is like a coiling dragon, extending to the top of the Netherworld Peak. The three of them climbed up the corridor in circles, only to feel that the temperature around them was still dropping, fortunately, the three of them were not ordinary people, this low temperature just felt very cold, and it did not affect the action.
It was easy to climb to the top of the Netherworld Peak of the high pine, and as soon as he walked out of the corridor, Tianyou's eyes immediately lit up.
The Netherworld Peak is a completely flat square, with only an altar in the center. The altar is divided into three layers, the edge is a regular octagonal structure, and on the bottom circle of the corridor stands eight towering giant pillars of coiling dragons, and the direction of the dragon's head is all aimed at the core of the altar. The second altar is just a walkway, and there is nothing superfluous except for the fence. The top third floor is taller than God Bless them, so I can't see what the situation is for the time being, but at least from the outside, I should be able to confirm that the top is empty.
Bai Bingyu took the lead and walked towards the altar, and Tianyou could only follow, and the three of them quickly arrived at the altar. Each floor of the altar is about three feet high, and when you climb the first floor, you can see the ground on the highest level. Sure enough, there was nothing on it, just a mysterious magic circle painted on the ground, and at this time, there was a lotus flower pattern composed of pure light slowly rotating on the ground.
"This is also a teleportation array?" Tianyou felt that the pattern on the altar was a bit like the Dou Zhuan Star Shifting Array, but it was not exactly the same.
Bai Bingyu explained, "This is also a teleportation array, but unlike the Dou Zhuan Star Shift Great Array, this is a teleportation array that is specially used to connect the Void fragments. ā
"Void Fragments?" It's been more than ten years, and it's the first time I've heard this term.
"It's a fragment of the world. Bai Bingqian quickly asked, "Have you heard about the Battle of the Catastrophe?"
Tianyou nodded to indicate that he had heard. The legendary world war is almost a household name in the Shenzhou Continent, and the general content is that the forces of immortals and Buddhas defeated man-eating demons and various alien beasts and protected human beings. Although the versions of the legend vary from country to country, the general content is basically the same.
Bai Bingqian saw that Tianyou had heard it, so she continued: "Legend has it that the battle of the catastrophe was extremely tragic back then, although it slaughtered the demons and aliens who caused disaster to the world, but the losses were also huge, not only a large number of true immortals and living Buddhas fell, but even this world collapsed because of that great war, and countless fragments were scattered in the endless void. Although these Void Fragments have been separated from our world, they still have a complete world structure in their own right. Later, someone stumbled upon a way to connect these Void Fragments, and began to exploit the Void Fragments' ability to be completely independent of the Overworld, and began to develop various uses. Whether it's a prison, a warehouse, or a cave, the Void Fragment is up to the task. The most important thing is that the Void Fragment has complete independence and privacy, so you don't have to worry about being watched. ā
"Why does this Void Fragment sound like a half-plane?"
"Half-plane, what is that?" Bai Bingqian looked at Tianyou suspiciously.
Tianyou didn't know how to explain the concept of the plane to Bai Bingqian, after all, even on the earth of the information explosion, there were still many people who couldn't understand the concept of the plane at all, let alone these natives of the Shenzhou Continent.
"It's nothing, it's just that I've heard the merchants of the Western Regions describe a small world that exists independently, the name is half-plane, and now that I think about it, it may be the Void Fragment. ā
"Oh, that's a name from the Western Regions. Listening to your description, it should be about the Void Fragments. ā
"So, the undead of the Beast Control Sect is actually not in the Boundary Mountain, but on a certain Void Fragment?"
"The Boundary Mountain is just a seal, used to seal the entrance to the Void Fragments on Nether Peak and Soul Breaker Peak. ā
"No wonder, I said how many undead can be held in such a big mountain. ā
Bai Bingqian was noncommittal, and took the lead in stepping into the teleportation array and said, "Come on, take you to see the real Nether Peak." ā
Tianyou, who had stepped into the teleportation array closely, suddenly felt a slight suction force acting on him. Bai Bingyu reminded him to relax his body and follow the suction forward. Tianyou relaxed, and just made a forward movement with that power when he suddenly felt weightlessness for a moment, and the next second the person had appeared in a new world.
"This ...... This is Nether Peak?"
"That's right, this is the real Nether Peak. ā
Nether Peak shouldn't be called Nether Peak, he should be called Nether Mountain Range. Tianyou's current location is the top of a low mountain, and at his feet is exactly the same teleportation needle as before, and in all directions, there are dead towering mountains stretching out in front of him, and I don't know how large the area is.
"You call this a mountain?"
"It's just a title. After Bai Bingyu explained, he walked to a platform outside the teleportation array, where two very old-looking Beast Control Sect disciples were sitting upright on top of two boulders and meditating with their eyes closed.
As if sensing someone approaching, the two of them opened their eyes at the same time and looked at the white ice rain that came out of the teleportation array.
Bai Bingyu saluted slightly: "Hard work two senior brothers, this is a new junior brother this year, who is conducting a sect investigation, and our sisters have taken over the task of introduction, this is proof." As she spoke, she handed over a piece of white jade.
One of the brothers got up from the boulder and floated down. first returned the salute, then took the jade plate in Bai Bingyu's hand, looked at it carefully and returned it, and the expression on his face was obviously enthusiastic. "It turned out to be a new junior brother, so let's go and have a look. My Beast Control Sect is also unique among the six sects, if this junior brother is interested, he can join my Beast Control Sect, don't dare to say anything else, at least safety is guaranteed. ā
Of course, the other party said it to Tianyou. The six sects of Zixiao are said to be the same sect, and there is always some competition, and no one wants to be compared to other sects. It's not easy to fight to the death between the same sect, you can only fight in other aspects, and the number of people in the sect and the number of new members every year are important indicators for comparing with each other.
Seeing that the other party was so polite, of course Tianyou responded more politely, and he was not completely acting, he was really interested in the Beast Control Sect.
Men naturally like to control, like remote control toys when they are young, like to drive when they are older, and like to control others when they are old. And controlling a group of fierce supernatural creatures to fight for themselves, this thing is very emotional just thinking about it, and God You will certainly be interested. What's more, he has a very good foundation now, and before he officially started to join the sect to study, he already has three demon pets around him.
Since the starting point is already so high, it is indeed a bit unreasonable not to put some effort into it.
Of course, at present, Tianyou can only be said to be very interested in the Beast Control Sect, and he is not completely sure to join. First, the price offered by the Heavenly Concubine on the side of the Divine Weapon Sect was too tempting, and secondly, the ability of the Treasure Weapon Sect to refine weapons, make talismans, and create Dao Soldier puppets was exactly what he was interested in. Therefore, Tianyou is still a little uncertain about which sect to join, but what is certain is that in the end, it must be one of the three sects of treasures, divine weapons, and beasts.
Tianyou's interest is not pretended, everyone can see this, so the two senior brothers of the Beast Control Sect are also quite enthusiastic, if it weren't for the two sisters Bai Bingyu and Bai Bingqian as guides, these two would almost come down to be guides themselves.
It was easy to get rid of the two overly enthusiastic senior brothers, and the three of them finally walked out of the low mountain where the teleportation array was located.
I didn't pay much attention to the top of the mountain before, but on the way down the mountain, Tianyou found that the environment in the Netherworld Peak was very weird. Although the sun could be seen in the sky, it was not as bright as the Overworld, and it felt like it was hazy through a thick piece of gray ground glass, and the light was dim, and there was a feeling that a thunderstorm was coming.
In addition to the sunshine, there is also a very strange thing here, which is that there is no wind at all.
Under normal circumstances, even if there is no wind on the ground, there is absolutely no wind on the top of the mountain. But it's also a matter of course to think about it, because this is a fragment of the void, a small fragment of the world, equivalent to a small independent space. Despite the large size of the Nether Peak, it was only a mountain range, not big enough to be windy.
Tianyou asked if it was normal for Bai Bingyu to be in this situation, and the answer he got was that all the void fragments had no wind, because it required a large area to form wind, and there must be no shortage of mountains and rivers in all kinds of terrain, so that thermal convection could be formed to produce wind. Unfortunately, no one has yet found a fragment of the Void large enough to form a natural wind.
However, while all the Void Fragments have no wind, the sunlight is different. Some Void Fragments are said to be eternal night, others are eternal day, and some are like here, where the sun is always dead and alive, and some are so strong that they can instantly ignite wood.
Compared to the kind of void fragments that couldn't enter people at all, the environment with a certain amount of light like Nether Peak was quite good.
However, when the three of them walked to the foot of the mountain, Tianyou found that although this place did not have the scorching sunshine that could instantly roast people, it was still not a good place, because it was a fucking ghost nest. (To be continued.) )
