Chapter 839, hanging upside down
What is the greatest danger of entering a spatial rift? It's not the monsters that lurk in the shadows, it's not the loss caused by the huge space, it's the change of the law.
"The air is normal."
As a vampire, Sylvia has a very sensitive sense of smell and makes judgments at the first time. At the same time, Xiao Yan was already in the air and tapped lightly in front of him. Unfortunately, this space was originally the product of the rhizome of the Tree of the World Realm being swallowed, and the old laws had disappeared, and the new spatial order had not yet been fully established, let alone the laws constrained by the order. Therefore, here, Xiao Yan only lit up a few law lines in the end, and the manifestations of these law lines are not something that Xiao Yan can understand.
However, it was precisely because of this lack of order that Xiao Yan's actions were much easier. After falling in the air for about a few seconds, maybe minutes or even longer, Xiao Yan suddenly realized that he hadn't continued to fall. In fact, they are floating in the air.
It is a wonderful state of weightlessness, not in outer space, but in a space where order is not fully established. Xiao Yan tried to make several dog gouging in the air, but this operation was successful, and in the end, he grabbed Sylvia's arm and Hijikata Anako's foot.
"It's lucky that there's air here to breathe and air to talk to."
Xiao Yan said in a low voice: "Sure enough, there are still spatial rifts that exist on the basis of the real world, and some things can still be maintained. ”
Sylvia didn't speak, in this dimly lit space. It's not completely devoid of light, either. Somewhere in the distance, a faint red glow shone. With the help of this light, the female vampire can see that there seems to be something wrong with Anako Hijikata on the other side. The black, somewhat dried-up blood clot, was constantly peeling away from Anako Hijikata's chest, then levitating into the air, crumbling in the blink of an eye. With each disintegration, it seemed that bursts of heart-wrenching weeping could be heard from the void. In this voice, there are fluctuations that continue to explode.
This feeling made Sylvia a little dazed. She vaguely felt. I seem to have experienced such a scene, but I don't know where and how I experienced it. In the trance of the female vampire, Xiao Yan suddenly raised his hand to the air and struck the eye of the storm. There is no goal to force the shock to retreat. Xiao Yan was abruptly pushed back by the force of the eye of the storm. Although it is only a dozen centimeters away. But this distance was enough for Xiao Yan to take the two women out of danger in an instant.
When they suddenly dropped a little distance because of Xiao Yan's action, a red cloud of blood suddenly flew past where they had just floated, and disappeared into the dark space in the blink of an eye.
"It's not a kind greeting."
Xiao Yan whispered. At the same time, in the darkness ahead, another cloud of blood rushed towards him. This kind of blood stain may not be able to cause much damage to Xiao Yan and them, but once they are hit by these blood stains, they will be pushed away from a distance, and the red light in the distance will become farther and farther away.
The Young Awakened raised his hand and struck the eye of the storm again, shattering a cloud of blood on the spot, but this did not solve the actual problem at all, and more blood stains were still coming in the dark. Xiao Yan wanted to use the magic circle to solve the problem, but none of the magic circles could respond to his chanting. Only then did he remember that, in essence, the circle was a refinement and extension of the law, and there was no complete system of laws, and it was impossible to cast a definite circle on such a framework of laws.
At this moment, in his hands, the Bishamen Pure Land suddenly let out a violent sound. Then, a stream of Zen light bloomed on the spine of the knife. At the same time, a sound of Buddha singing also quietly surrounded Xiao Yan and them. The blood stains that came from a distance were simply unapproachable under the light of Zen light, and they disappeared in the air when they were still some distance away from Xiao Yan. Not only that, but when they didn't take it off, a path like a mandala flower appeared, and they appeared at their feet.
"Oh, I see."
Xiao Yan turned his head and glanced at the Bishamen Pure Land in his hand, and muttered in a low voice.
Prior to this, when he had finished repairing the Bishamen Pure Land in his room, he was very disappointed to find that this weapon did not show any epic characteristics at all. There are no special effects, it's not particularly sharp, and it doesn't necessarily last long.
It can be said that in the real world, the Bishamen Pure Land is a weapon with an epic title, but its comprehensive performance is similar to that of sophisticated equipment at most. At that time, Xiao Yan really didn't understand why such a weapon could be crowned with the level of "epic". And now, seeing this weapon shine in this dark space, Xiao Yan realized that not all weapons should be powerful in the real world to be called epic, and not all epic weapons will show special effects, and many special effects will only be displayed in a specific environment.
For example, in the current space, the effect of a Bishamen Pure Land may even exceed that of a legendary-level weapon. Not only can it effectively dissipate those blood stains, but it can also allow Xiao Yan to find their way to their goal.
"Tantric instruments?"
Under such a Buddha light, even Anako Hijikata, whose face had become extremely pale, improved a lot, and she stood on the road leading to the distant other, asking in a low voice while enduring the discomfort.
Xiao Yan shook his head slightly, he couldn't be sure whether the monk who died under the pure land of Bishamen in the gap in history was a tantric person or not. But come to think of it, this monk died in the rhizome of the Tree of the World, and his will and blood-soaked Bishamen Pure Land bloomed in the cracks in the space that was also related to the rhizome of the Tree of the World. Whether this is an inevitable reincarnation or an accident, Xiao Yan does not know.
"Follow me."
Xiao Yan said as he walked quickly along the path made of the mandala flower. The path seemed to be extremely long, as if it was always so long from the red point of light, but once they walked, it didn't take long for Xiao Yan and the others to actually reach the vicinity of the red point of light.
Of course, the concept of time has little meaning in this spatial rift, there are no complete rules, and time also has great limitations here. This sense of ambiguity in the concept of time made Xiao Yan vaguely have the idea that perhaps the trial world created by the Tree of the World Realm had a constant connection with this spatial rift.
These thoughts were fleeting, and when Xiao Yan and the others reached the vicinity of the red light cluster, Anako Hijikata subconsciously put her hand in front of her mouth and let out a low exclamation.
It is a huge city, hanging upside down above their heads, which can only be seen from this distance, and the city is built in the same style as the Meiji Restoration era in the 19th century. Xiao Yan can vaguely find some familiar places from the city, such as the unrepaired Emperor Xiaoming's mausoleum, oil road, and even the French consulate.
"Welcome back to the Meiji Restoration, even though it's a hellish version of the Meiji Restoration."
Xiao Yan said this, and under their feet, the path built by the mandala flower began to twist continuously. It's like a Möbius ring, and Xiao Yan is the ants on this Möbius ring, walking along the outside of the ring, and finally to the inside of the ring.
"What could be like this? What will be this era? ”
Anako Hijikata asked in a low voice.
Xiao Yan continued to walk on the road, and a large number of blood clouds had appeared on both sides of the road, and it felt like they were walking down from the sky, and the upside-down Kyoto was their goal. To Anako Hijikata's question, Xiao Yan responded in a low voice: "Because this is the demon's favorite era, and in this era, it got everything it needs. ”
It was impossible for Anako Hijikata to know what Xiao Yan had experienced in such an era, she just said "oh" as if she didn't understand, and didn't continue to ask questions, but walked quietly behind Xiao Yan.
The closer you get to this upside-down city, the clearer everything is on the ground, the people who walk to and fro, the swaggering warriors, and the lost vagabonds, all of which are like the real world. If it weren't for the constant flow of bloodshot in the air around him, Xiao Yan would have some doubts about whether he had come to a spatial rift or a trial world.
Anako Hijikata, who was walking, suddenly let out a low moan, and then knelt down on the road, and at her feet, the mandala flowers were rapidly turning black and then began to quietly crumble.
"What's that?"
Sylvia was a little intimidated by Anako Hijikata's changes.
She didn't know where this fear came from, what it was fearing, or just a deep sadness. The sorrow of the life of the same kind dying in ignorance, and not only being powerless, but also likely to follow in the footsteps at any time.
Xiao Yan couldn't answer, he wasn't an all-knowing and all-powerful immortal, and grabbed Anako Hijikata, and the young awakened man whispered, "No matter what it is, it's what we need to solve." ”
Sylvia whispered, "I always have an inexplicable sense of fear, as if something will happen here that we can't control and understand, you say we need to solve it, but do you know what we need to solve?" ”
Xiao Yan's one foot had already stepped on this upside-down world, he stared in the direction of the palace and replied, "Deal with the demon, even if it is already a demon, we must do everything we can to solve it." ”
Sylvia frowned and said, "You also make me feel uneasy, Xiao Yan, you seem to be acting very manic. (To be continued......)
