Chapter 35: The Real World
"It's-"
When Jiang Xiaoyu saw the bloody scene in front of him, Huo Ran raised his head, stared at Old Man Bai, and asked him in shock, "This is the meaning of the extreme knife?" ”
Old man Bai nodded: "That's right, this is my Bai Mo's sword intent!" It's something that's unique to me! ”
Jiang Xiaoyu muttered, "Unique? ”
"Every swordsman has a sword intent, however, the sword intent that every swordsman comprehends is different. It is something that will always belong to them, and it is the embodiment of their absolute determination and lifelong pursuit. Old Man Bai didn't mind saying more to Jiang Xiaoyu, who had already started.
He said slowly: "This is the insistence in the heart of every swordsman, you should not be attached to a certain person, or to a certain kind of sword intent, because it will never belong to you." You have to understand that even if you try your best to get it, you can't really use its power. ”
"It's because you still don't understand this that you only comprehend the rudiments of the sword intent!" Old man Bai said, "I said, you're still far away." ”
Jiang Xiaoyu listened to Old Man Bai's words, and only then did he truly understand what knife intent was.
Where the heart goes, what the mind wants.
"Alright, this is settled, and we should go back."
When the old man saw Jiang Xiaoyu's expression, a flash of relief flashed on his face, and then he patted his head and said, "I can't show up every time you are in danger." You don't always get so lucky. Do you understand? ”
He said and paused: "After you go back, you don't have to sneak into the world of Jianghu, but your stay in this world must be limited. The real world is your roots, and this world does not belong to you, let alone our territory. Do you understand? ”
Jiang Xiaoyu nodded helplessly: "Understood." ”
However, he stared at Old Man Bai's face, but he didn't quite understand one thing, so he looked curious and asked like a cannon: "Old Man Bai, don't you like to play games?" Why is there an account for Jianghu? Also, how does your face look exactly like you? Have you found someone who looks exactly like you? ”
The meaning of this seizure is that when the player enters the world of "Jianghu", he will appear in the form of a soul and look for a possessed object in the form of a geist.
Of course, the time of the wandering spirit is limited, and the strength of the object must not be higher than the strength of the real world, otherwise it is very likely to fail.
That's going too far.
To get back to the point, because of such a game setting, the appearance of the characters in "Jianghu" and the real world itself cannot be exactly the same under normal circumstances - not to say it too absolutely, because no matter what the situation, it is difficult to avoid coincidences.
At this time, Jiang Xiaoyu looked the old man Bai up and down, and felt that this guy was exactly the same as the old man Bai in his memory, and it was difficult to determine whether this was a coincidence.
"It's complicated."
Old man Bai shrugged at Jiang Xiaoyu, the smile on his face narrowed slightly, and he thought for a while, "Maybe I should tell you a secret." ”
Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, an idea unconsciously appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes, but he still asked in a deep voice, "What secret?" ”
Old man Bai said: "It's about the secret of this world. ”
Jiang Xiaoyu pricked up his ears.
"This ......"
Old man Bai said word for word: "It's actually a real world. The so-called game is just a hoax. ”
The real world?
Jiang Xiaoyu only felt that the whole inner world exploded, and his eyes widened subconsciously, and there were ten thousand divine beasts running wildly in his heart, and he lost his voice in disbelief: "How is this possible?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Yin Qing, who was split in half in front of him, and couldn't imagine that he had killed so many people with his own hands...... So many real people.
Old Man Bai smiled and said, "Don't you still want to believe this fact when you see me here?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu was silent, in fact, he had already believed the secret that Old Man Bai said as soon as he heard the news.
Not only because of the fact that Old Man Bai really traveled, but also because of his own experience in the world of "Jianghu", he couldn't be sure that this was a virtual game world.
The former lies in the fact that he grew up with Old Man Bai since he was a child, and it is impossible not to recognize Old Man Bai's appearance.
He was 100% sure that Old Man Bai did not take away the game character through the helmet, but directly entered with his real body.
The latter lies in his experience along the way, as well as Zhou Haoran's unforgettable eyes before he died, as well as the three brothers Zhang Lingzhi and Zhang Zhen, and the second child of an inn store and the shopkeeper Li Muqing...... Where does this vivid character look like an NPC?
"Then you ......"
Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Old Man Bai and hesitated for a moment before asking, "How did you know this secret?" ”
"Do you really think this secret is earth-shattering news?" Old Man Bai looked at him in surprise, "You weren't so stupid before. ”
Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and it was even more difficult to accept: "So many people know this secret? ”
"Exactly." Old Man Bai said to him, "You must know that this secret is almost a public message at a certain level, and it cannot be called a secret at all. It's just that those ordinary people don't know about it, so it's called a secret. ”
Jiang Xiaoyu said: "So you are not an ordinary person? ”
Old man Bai looked at him with disdain and said, "When did you ever see me admit that I was an ordinary person?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu was speechless.
This son of a bitch!
Jiang Xiaoyu looked at him with unkind eyes and said, "Who are you?" ”
"It's not something you know by now." Old Man Bai shook his head, "When you can be half as powerful as me, I will tell you my identity and origin." ”
"Okay."
Jiang Xiaoyu was not discouraged, he had already understood what kind of person Old Man Bai was, so he knew that no matter how he asked now, it would be impossible to get an answer from Old Man Bai's mouth.
He thought about it again and asked curiously, "Then how did you really enter this world?" Why can I only use a virtual network headset to enter? It's not something to be kept secret, is it? ”
"Not really."
Old man Bai said: "I can enter with my real body because of the Boundary Breaking Bead. ”
He took out a dark bead from the pocket of his big pants and threw it to Jiang Xiaoyu casually: "This bead is the highest technology of the Human Federation at present, and it can help people travel through the space between parallel universes, which is very, very rare. ”
He said and paused: "However, even with the help of the Boundary Breaking Bead, if your own strength does not reach a certain standard, it will be difficult to carry out space travel, but you may be strangled into ashes by the space storm, and even your soul will be wiped out in an instant." ”
"It can be said that among the current people in the Human Federation, there will not be more than this number of people who have the ability to carry out true body crossing."
When the old man said this, he stretched out a palm and spread five fingers.
"Five?"
Jiang Xiaoyu looked shocked and swallowed his saliva: "Old man Bai, you are so strong?" Wouldn't I be able to punch nursing homes and kick kindergartens and become a super second generation? ”
When the old man heard this, his old face turned dark, his big hand clenched his fist, and he aimed at the top of Jiang Xiaoyu's head, and smashed it hard.
Bang!
"You idiot!"
He roared angrily: "If your Grandpa Bai can be ranked in the top five in the Human Federation, will he still repair household appliances with you on Earth?" ”
Old man Bai didn't leave his hand this time, Jiang Xiaoyu grinned in pain, and said with tears in his eyes: "Then what is the number you said?" ”
Old man Bai held his head high and said proudly: "Of course it's fifty thousand!" ”
