Chapter 39: The Valley of the Two Realms

The moor is covered with ochre-red stone pillars of all sizes, several of which are of thorn species, and the riverbed has dried up, making it rare to see green in sight. Out of the Shuangcha Ridge, there are such ruined scenery along the way, and where there is no water source, it is not much better than the desert.

The only consolation is that the weather is not so hot, and the picture is not so monotonous.

Xuanzang rode alone on a motorcycle in this wilderness, looking at the map to find out where they were going. The convoy got lost in the middle of the way, and he took the initiative to ask to come out to investigate, because of the blood transfusion accident, Wei Chigong and Yuan Ce both excused themselves not to come out and stayed in place to protect their luggage.

Shenfang wanted to come along, in fact, he wanted to talk to Xuanzang about Hu Hongdao's death several times, but he refused very resolutely.

There's really nothing to talk about.

And he finally found a chance to be alone, how could he let that guy bother.

"Isn't there anything nearby?" Xuanzang said into the air.

The FTB's voice replied, "Due to the poor performance of the radar that can only be used with the impermanence body, no offline devices have been found at this time. ”

"How's the new encryption algorithm going?"

"It has been generated, I have compared the twenty encryption methods commonly used in the fairy world and all the mutation operators, and now I can transmit the second-level key generation formula to you."

Xuanzang stared at the wasteland assistant on his wrist in distrust, and whispered, "But I still have no way to determine whether the prism plug-in of Erlang God has a Trojan horse function. ”

"It's certainly a lot less risky than the way you are taking it now, master. The low-altitude drone is still shooting in the air. ”

"Don't worry about that kind of toy." Xuanzang said indifferently, "And I have to take you with me to defend myself, I can't face to face and talk to each other on the radio." ”

There was another rumbling thunder in my ears, which had been attenuated a lot because the distance was too far. Xuanzang once again cast his gaze on the unusual sky in the distance and saw that lightning was slashing down from the black clouds.

There was a peculiar thundercloud there, darker than the one he had seen on the day he was reborn, and it had gathered in that spot and had not moved at all. It kept churning in place, as if a giant beast inside was breathing heavily, swallowing and exhaling the black clouds. Occasionally, a few wisps of black clouds would fall down, turn into pillars of smoke, circle to the ground and fly back.

I couldn't help but pay attention to such a strange scene, and when I came out of the Double Fork Ridge, Xuanzang saw the thundercloud. He asked Liu Boqin about this, and the other party told him that it was the Valley of the Two Realms.

"It's surprisingly large, and it's a long, deep canyon that stretches from the rift valley here to there." Liu Boqin described, "But you can only see it from the mountains here, and no one knows what it looks like inside." None of the people who went to the Valley of the Two Realms came back alive, so gradually rumors began to spread that it was the valley that separated the two worlds of Yin and Yang. ”

"What happened to the people who went there?" Xuanzang said curiously.

"Probably it was struck by lightning, you can see from those lightning bolts, it has not stopped for so many years. But some people say that there are ghosts living in the underworld, and the sound of ghosts crying is often heard, which is more terrifying than the roar of the demon beasts in Shuangjialing. The timid ones go crazy when they listen to it from afar. My father had taken me there before his death, and the closer I got to the valley of the Two Realms, the more panicked I became. It's as if something got into his head, saying something weird, no sound, and he couldn't understand it, but he was just too scared to do it......" Liu Boqin shook his head and didn't say any more, as if it was the most terrifying memory in his life.

It's hard to imagine that this strong man who can fight with the Tiger King would have such a frightened expression on his face. Xuanzang couldn't help but be more interested.

And he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the mysterious Valley of the Two Realms, as if he had heard of that place somewhere......

Xuanzang stopped the motorcycle, unfolded the map, and looked for the location of the Valley of the Two Realms on it, but there was no marking. Not only does it not have this place name, but it does not even have a canyon terrain. Then he remembered why he had always felt that something was wrong, and why the convoy was lost at all this distance.

There is not a trace of this Great Rift Valley on the map. Because he lost this reference, he couldn't figure out the direction.

"FTB, do you have this place name in your database?"

"No results found."

Xuanzang tapped on the dashboard and thought for a while, and then asked, "What year did I make you?" ”

"44 years of the new calendar." A few seconds later, FTB added, "The map data was last updated in the year 572 of the new calendar. ”

In other words, this rift was formed after the war was started by itself, and it has never been recorded in the official database.

What caused the Valley of the Two Realms? Natural, or man-made?

Why does the god and Buddha seem to be deliberately concealing its existence?

What's there?

In addition, Xuanzang couldn't help but consider a certain possibility: Does the Valley of the Two Realms exist in his lost memory fragments?

The memories lost in the ionosphere, while not affecting the integrity of the soul, do cause some obstacles. Algorithms and drawings, these things can be retrieved from FTB's database, but those unconventional information only exist in his memory, and there is no backup.

He asked uncertainly, "Is it possible......?" I mean, assuming they are still in the ionosphere in plasma form, is it possible for us to recycle them? ”

"Master, if memory does not have a carrier, it will not theoretically exist independently. Also, our technology has not been able to capture waves of information on a timeline, and there is no other way to restore memories when your old brain has been destroyed. ”

It seems that I can only go and investigate it myself. It's a pity that the Valley of the Two Realms is too far away from the current direction of travel, and I don't know how to find an opportunity......

Xuanzang, who was thinking, was suddenly interrupted by something he glimpsed in the afterglow. He turned his head and blinked, looking at the thing in disbelief.

"FTB, did you see a giant snake flying in the sky too?"

"Yes hosts. The target is four kilometers away from you, two hundred meters in length, and is covered with bionic skin, driven by gravity, and confirmed to be a product of the Heavenly Court. The target flew in the direction of the convoy, at a distance of ten kilometers, and was expected to arrive in ten minutes at the current speed. ”

"Haven't they found out yet?" Xuanzang looked back in the direction of the convoy, but the other party did not send a signal flare or start the radio.

He was about to pull out his flare gun, when he suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait a minute, you just said that the Heavenly Court product ......"

"Yes, the target can detect the same signature signal as the Black Impermanence."

Then he doesn't have to bother with the other party's actions.

It's just that he doesn't know anything about this snake, and he doesn't know if it should be counted as a second calamity. A two-hundred-meter-long flying mechanical snake...... Are the arrangements on the journey to the west so explicit?

Having said that, he has already reported the situation of the scripture learning team passing through Shuangchaling and sacrificing one person, Yang Jian has not replied to the news yet, and he doesn't know what the hell is going on above.

Forget it, let's go back to the show, I hope to catch up.

However, as he was about to return to the convoy, the giant snake in the air swooped down on the ground a few times before turning back. Xuanzang, who arrived at the convoy, only saw the luggage that had been knocked over and the all-terrain vehicle that had fallen apart.

Xuanzang ran over to pick up Wei Chigong and Yuan Ce, who had fallen to the ground, and asked, "What's wrong?" I just saw that monster ......."

They were stunned and stayed for a while before they said, "Master Shenfang...... I was eaten by the snake demon ......"

Xuanzang, who has always been calm, couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he heard this.

This state of affairs...... Don't play cards according to common sense!
