Chapter 414: One Day in the Mountains
Ye Jiuqing hesitated, took a deep breath and stepped over, standing quietly for a long time, and didn't see any changes, but the two old men looked at Ye Jiuqing silently, as if they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
No matter how you look at it, it is a muddy swamp, but in the old man's depiction, it seems to be like a hell that no one else can enter, we have all crossed over one after another, and we are still safe and sound, but the old man's expression is even more surprised.
"What the hell are you afraid of?" Tian Ji asked as he waved at them.
"So many colleagues have been wiped out here, why, why are you safe and sound?!" The old man in white was surprised.
"There's nothing here." I looked back and forth, spreading my hands in confusion.
"Shh The palace lord suddenly raised his hand.
He listened calmly for a long time, walked up to Ye Jiuqing, buried his head in Ye Jiuqing's chest, and then said in surprise: "Uncle Ye, let me take a look at your pocket watch." ”
Ye Jiuqing looked dazed, took out the pocket watch, and was immediately puzzled: "It's strange, why did this pocket watch start moving around again?" ”
When Xue Xinrou heard this, she hurriedly raised her hand to look at her watch, and the hands began to move.
"11:23." Tian Ji poked his head over and took a look. "When we came in, the hands of the watch stopped at 10:27, which means that we have been here for more than an hour."
"Xinrou, didn't you say that time here is imprisoned, and time will not pass in it?" I asked.
"Yes, it stands to reason that Penglai Immortal Island is in a two-dimensional space, and there is no concept of time here, so they will live for more than two thousand years, but ......" Xue Xinrou was also confused. But since time moves, why haven't they aged? ”
Ye Jiuqing thought of something, took the pocket watch and stepped to the opposite side again, the two old men probably saw that Ye Jiuqing could come and go freely, and their expressions were even more stunned, but Ye Jiuqing's brows were furrowed even tighter.
"It's really strange that the pocket watch won't leave here."
Ye Jiuqing tried back and forth many times, and we found that on the side of the dense vegetation, the hands of the watch would not move, but as long as they stepped into the swamp, time would come again.
"What a broken place, this pocket watch has been with me for decades, and it has never been allowed, why did I walk back and forth a few steps, and the watch was broken." Ye Jiuqing was upset with his pocket watch.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"It was 11:23 just now, and it's going to be 9:17, and I've never seen a watch walking backwards." Ye Jiuqing said.
Xue Xinruo also tried it and found that her watch also had this problem.
“14?!” Xue Xinrou suddenly looked shocked.
"What 14?" Tian Ji hurriedly asked.
"I have a calendar on my watch." Xue Xinrou pointed to a number on her arm and said.
"Today is the 14th?" Tian Ji scratched his head and smiled weakly. "Speaking of which, with you, I didn't care what day it was, by the way, Xinrou, is there anything special about this date?"
Xue Xinrou hurriedly took out her notes and quickly rummaged through them, in her records, the time we entered Penglai Immortal Island was 10:27, but the time on it was the 18th.
"It looks like your and Uncle Ye's tables are really broken." Tian Ji said disapprovingly.
"Wait a minute, do you say that there is such a possibility, on Penglai Xiandao, there is a part of the area where time is imprisoned, so the craftsmen who participated in the construction of this place have lived for two thousand years, but now where we are standing, the watch is walking again, which means that time here is not imprisoned." The palace lord raised his head suddenly, and said seriously. "Uncle Ye and Xinrou have the same time displayed on their watches, could it be that the watch is not broken, but that there is a problem with the time."
"What can time go wrong with?" Tian Ji was even more puzzled.
"In this area where we stand, time is going backwards!" It dawned on me.
"Backwards?!" Ye Jiuqing frowned in shock. "If you go back in time, you should go back to the past, no matter what it was here before, at least there was no tower, this tower was built by the King of Qi two thousand years ago, since time is going backwards, why is this tower still there?"
"Uncle Ye is right." Xue Xinrou was suddenly taken aback and opened her mouth. "Time hasn't gone backwards, and the watch hasn't broken."
"Then why is it 10 o'clock when we come in, and after all this time, the watch shows 9 o'clock?" I asked.
"Because the 9 o'clock we see is not the last time......"
"You, you mean, it's 9 o'clock the next day?!" I was taken aback.
"No way, we've only been here for a long time, how can it be a day." Gong Jue also looked shocked.
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as a day." Xue Xinrou lowered her head and pondered for a moment. "This is a fairyland, one day in the sky, a year ...... on earth"
We looked at each other dumbfounded, and Xue Xinrou hurriedly walked back to the side of the two old men, broke a branch, and then slowly stretched out to the side of the swamp where we were standing.
The branches that were still alive once they crossed the boundaries mentioned by the old man, they immediately withered quickly, and finally turned into a pile of powder, disappearing without a trace in front of our eyes, while the other half that was still in Xue Xinrou's hands was intact.
It seems that there is an invisible boundary, eternal life on one side and destruction on the other.
"That is to say, on Penglai Immortal Island, not all places are imprisoned, and in the area where we are standing now, time is normal." I reacted.
"Speaking of which, there really is a place in the world for a day in heaven and a year on earth." Tian Ji's voice was shocked.
"This is not just a fairy tale, someone once put forward a theory, time is relative, in general relativity, time is not consistent, when the speed reaches a certain level, time will slow down, but this is just a theory, I didn't expect it to really exist, and as early as two thousand years ago, someone created such a two-dimensional space." Xue Xinrou explained.
On Penglai Immortal Island, because time is imprisoned, the craftsmen who stay on the fairy island do not feel the passage of time and the length, as they say, it feels like they have only stayed here for a few decades, but in fact, more than two thousand years have passed.
The Moon Palace Nine Dragons Vessel has specially created an unbelievable sea area here, and has warned everyone that this invisible boundary cannot be crossed, because once the imprisoned time is released, that time will pass quickly, and more than two thousand years of life will disappear from these people in an instant.
It is estimated that the craftsmen who stayed here must have undoubtedly discovered the secret of Penglai Immortal Island, but they could not explain this strange phenomenon, and it just so happened that this situation was similar to the rumored Heavenly Realm.
One day in heaven and one year on earth.
Therefore, these people mistakenly believe that this is a fairyland, and only immortals who have truly attained immortality can pass through this place and eventually rank in the immortal class, and this invisible boundary will become a place of tribulation in their eyes.
"Trouble!" Tian Ji's voice suddenly panicked.
"What's wrong?" We turned to ask.
"When we came in, the time was the 18th, and now the date on Xinrou's watch is the 14th, and we feel like we've only been here for a little more than a day, but it's been almost a month outside." Tian Ji said with a flustered expression. "That means the longer we stay here, the more time will pass outside, and my dad will be sixty years old in a few years......"
We realized the gravity of the situation, and we found this place by mistake, and entered this magical sea, but we didn't know how to get out of it, in case we were trapped here......
Thinking of this, I subconsciously looked at the two old men opposite, we will eventually be like them, imprisoned in this sea forever, even if we can go out one day, it will be a day in the mountains, and the world has been a thousand years.
"What's the panic, since you can come in, there must be a way to get out, otherwise how will the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace leave, and how will those returning craftsmen leave." Ye Jiuqing said calmly. "Since you're here, don't think about it useless, now you can only go forward and find the location of the Nine Dragons Boat in the Moon Palace, maybe you can find a way out."
We nodded, said goodbye to the two old men who led the way, and then walked in the direction of the stone tower, as far as the eye could see, there was a muddy swamp as far as the eye could see, and if we were not careful, we would be deeply trapped in it, and we did not dare to delay too much, so we were careful to hurry as fast as possible.
There was also a mist in the swamp, and the further we went, the more hot and uncomfortable it became, and by the time we came out of the thick fog, we were completely startled by what we saw.
If the outside of Penglai is a heavenly fairyland, then this should be a hell on earth.
There was still a thick fog in front of him, and it was difficult to see everything in front of him, and every step in the fog became dangerous, and there were winding lava and flames everywhere beneath his feet.
We proceeded cautiously, the only thing thankful was that the light of the fire brightened the gloomy territory, and the further we went, the denser the meandering molten became, and it became difficult to find a place to put our feet on.
I suddenly realized that Penglai was built on top of an active volcano, and the molten lava was constantly gushing from the bottom of the sea, and if it was contaminated, it would immediately open the skin and flesh, and if it accidentally fell into the molten lava, it was estimated that there was absolutely no chance of survival.
The hot mist that gradually filled us was much thinner, but we clearly felt the unbearable heat, and we didn't speak for a long time, because every breath would inhale the hot current into the body, and we felt that there was an inextinguishable flame burning in the body, and it was extremely painful.
Perhaps because the temperature was getting higher and higher, the hot mist finally disappeared before our eyes, but at that moment we all stopped in place dumbfounded, each with shock and trepidation written on their faces, and stared at the front in great surprise.
There is no longer any winding lava to be seen, because all the molten lava has come together to form a tumbling and surging sea of molten lava before our eyes, and there is only a narrow road that can accommodate one person to pass through this sea of molten lava.
