When Luo Ling opened her eyes, the sunlight came through the cracks in the treetops, like white needles, piercing her eyes slightly. Reaching out to block the sun, the blue sky in front of her was divided into pieces by tree branches, and she realized that she was lying on the ground.

She sat up and found that what greeted her was a pure white color. It is a winter forest, surrounded by towering trees that have lost their leaves, trunks covered with snow, and thinner branches covered with ice crystals. And the ground where she sat was a foot deep in snow.

However, the strange thing is that Luo Ling is wearing a jacket and jeans and does not feel cold. She stretched out her hand and grabbed a handful of snow, and it felt like grabbing a cloud of fine sand on the beach in summer, cool, soft, and comfortable.

Is this the world in the book?

Luo Ling finally looked at the page in Xiao Chen's hand, and then, she appeared here. Everything here is so real and detailed, the clear ice, the rough bark, the occasional falling snowflakes, she can't help but wonder if she is back on Earth, in some northern forest. Everything that came before was nothing but a dream.

Soon, though, she confirmed that this was not the real world. A small dot of light flew out from behind the cedar tree beside him, and it was so brilliant even in the sun, emitting a long blue light, flying like a bee among flowers, circling back and forth. Luo Ling stood up, looked at it closely, and found that it was actually a little elf that emitted blue light!

The elf is only the size of a finger, girlish, Luo Ling has seen this kind of little thing in cartoons, she flapped two butterfly wings and flew very happily. When she saw that Luo Ling noticed her, she came to Luo Ling's side, flew on her shoulder for a while, swept over her face for a while, and looked at her from time to time, as if she was playing with her.

"Elf, who are you? Where is this?" Luo Ling couldn't help but ask when she saw that the elf hadn't spoken.

"I am the spirit of this book, come with me. The elf's voice was ethereal, beckoned to her, and slowly flew out of the woods.

Luo Ling hesitated for a moment, but still chose to follow, she stepped on the deep pit in the snow, and the elf flew slowly and took her up a gentle slope. A magical sight appeared in front of them, the ice and snow stopped abruptly on the mountain, like a painter using green paint to paint on the ground, a meadow, replacing the pure white landscape.

"Sure enough, it's an imaginary world......," Luo Ling muttered.

Walking down the hill on the grass, small pink and yellow flowers bloom all over the grass. At the end of the meadow are dense trees, a stream runs through the forest, and the soft sound of the water plays the breath of spring.

Luo Ling walked along the stream, walking, the grass and trees became more and more prosperous, the ground was full of huge flowers, the branches and leaves of the trees were more unbridled and unbridled, they stretched out to their heart's content, full of vitality. Luo Ling looked up, and even the sun seemed to be more intense, making her feel that summer had arrived.

"Is it the four seasons?" Luo Ling walked in the summer, looking forward to the autumn.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, a fallen leaf floated in front of Luo Ling's eyes, and his eyes were full of golden yellow when he looked over the fallen leaves, which was the color of autumn. She stepped on the ground, and the leaves and dead branches clicked, which was the end of life and the beginning of life.

In ten minutes, Luo Ling went through a year of reincarnation in the illusion.

"You have a beautiful heart, and you have this beautiful world. "And ahead lies the uncontrolled world, a wasteland out of order, and a test for you." ”

"What test?" Luo Ling asked with some uneasiness.

"You'll know. "The elf stopped talking, just leading the way in front.

Luo Ling crossed the creek and walked up a high slope, and the trees began to thin. When I was about to reach the top of the slope, my eyes suddenly opened up.

"This is ......," Luo Ling looked ahead in disbelief.

It was a vast and boundless wasteland, surrounding the woods behind Luo Ling, and Luo Ling knew that the woods that changed the seasons she walked through were really insignificant compared to the wasteland.

The sky here is gray, as if closed by layers of dark clouds. The soil was an eerie deep purple, with no trees, no grass, only rocks. There was wind in the wasteland, and as soon as Luo Ling appeared, they went berserk. The weather was originally relatively calm, but suddenly a storm appeared out of thin air, mixed with black ice crystals rushed towards Luo Ling, forcing her back several steps at once.

Luo Ling wanted to run back to the forest to take shelter from the wind, but the voice of the elf sounded in her ears: "Your potential is extremely strong, but the foundation of cultivation is too low, and forcibly shaping this world has hurt your origin." On the path of magic, you need to pay a more painful price than others in order to move forward. ”

"Blown by the strong wind?" Luo Ling asked with difficulty against the strong wind.

"If you want to be strong, bear the pain and don't retreat. ”

What's the point? Luo Ling didn't understand. However, there is a strong intuition that tells her that she can't back down, and she has to persevere in the wind and snow. So she leaned against a large tree, and at the edge of the woods withstood the impact of the wind and hail.

The black ice was like a needle, and the wind was like a knife, cutting through her mental body. She discovers that even if she is not a physical entity, she can hurt and bleed. Only she knows the suffering. I don't know how long it took, Luo Ling felt that she had frozen into a broken popsicle, the wind and snow were a little smaller, she opened her eyes, and found that the scene around her had changed slightly, and the grass actually extended from her feet, eroding a small piece of wasteland.

"What the hell is this......" As soon as Luo Ling spoke, she felt a huge pain in her chest and abdomen, and a stream of blood gushed up her throat, but she didn't dare to be careless in this weird place, and swallowed it hard.

"This is your meditation space. The elf who led the way flew to Luo Ling's ear and said to her, "The source of your strength and the source of your pain. ”

——————————————————————

"This is your meditation space, boy!" The big man in front of Xiao Chen was wearing a captain's suit, a large-brimmed hat, and a pipe in his mouth. The cabin shook violently, and Xiao Chen had to hold on to the door frame tightly, while the captain stood in the room with his hands on his waist as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Chen felt that he was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was very similar to the berserker in the main hall of the underground palace. It's just that now he doesn't carry that big axe, and he doesn't have that much beard, this modern dress makes Xiao Chen feel a little incongruous.

The captain seemed to immediately guess what he was thinking, and said helplessly: "I look like this, it's all thanks to you!"

"Me?" Xiao Chen's mind flashed, "You are what I imagined?"

The captain grinned, "The reaction isn't bad. I am the book spirit in "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll", and everything around me is the result of your reading of books. As for the way I look, my temper, and even the way I speak......" he looked down at his figure, "probably from someone you've been thinking about a lot lately." ”

"You mean, the book made the world and you?"

"No, you made the world, or rather, you are the world. And I'm just the mason who helps you build this world. Shu Ling didn't seem to be in a hurry, waiting for Xiao Chen to slowly digest the meaning of this sentence.

"What are we doing here?" Xiao Chen asked after thinking for a while.

"What are you doing? Why would you ask such a stupid question? Meditation! Of course the meditation space is for meditation! What's going on? Why are the people who have been reading lately all those who don't know anything? Don't you all have teachers? Moreover, your guy's spiritual world is very unstable, how can your concentration foundation be so poor?" The captain stared at Xiao Chen for a while, and then let out an exclamation: "Oh! Oh! No wonder! Look at what I found, the other world in my memory? An outsider. ”

Xiao Chen looked nervous: "Can you read my memory?"

The captain shrugged and said, "I'm a master of the spiritual realm! But what are you nervous about, I can only read the superficial memory, what you think, I know." All of this is what your mind tells me. My job is to help the person who reads, who does he care?"

Seeing that the other party looked indifferent, Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"I ...... A little confused, maybe a little seasick. He bent over, clutched his stomach and said with a sad face.

"Not only are your aesthetics so bad, but your mobility is low enough. The captain went to a porthole and looked at his image from the glass with disgust. Then he slapped Xiao Chen and said, "Don't talk nonsense, follow me." ”

The wind and rain outside the porthole, it was impossible to see the scene outside, Xiao Chen could only follow the book spirit to move forward in the shaking of the hull with difficulty, he wanted to vomit, but he couldn't vomit, he only felt that there was a stick in his stomach that kept stirring. He stumbled down a walkway with the captain and down the stairs, finding that there was an empty cabin underneath, with few seats in it. This is a ferry that Xiao Chen is very familiar with, and he used to cross the river to visit his grandmother when he was a child. It can carry hundreds of people and bicycles, and is usually only navigated on inland waterways, but at this time it is churning in rough waves.

Sure enough, when the captain opened the hatch, the pouring rain and waves rushed in, drenching Xiao Chen's whole body. He wiped a handful of water from his face, looked out, and saw the raging sea.

"We ...... Is this going out?" Xiao Chen pulled the handrail on the wall with both hands, and when he saw that the waves were as tall as a dozen floors, he was naturally afraid in his heart. He had never imagined such a terrible scene: the boat was sometimes caught between two huge waves, like a little lamb under a cliff, and sometimes it was thrown into the air, like a small flower on the top of a pinnacle. Xiao Chen struggled with acceleration and deceleration, feeling the pain of free fall and violent impact. The door frame was his lifesaver, and he grabbed the protrusion along the frame with both hands, eager to stick his fingers into the steel plate.

He knew that if it were the real world, the boat would capsize in an instant, but in the meditation space, it was constantly tormented up and down. Xiao Chen didn't know if there would be such a thing as drowning in the meditation space, but between such big waves, this small boat was like a speck of dust in the wind, and as long as Xiao Chen relaxed for a moment, he would be thrown into the deep sea.

"You're really unusual, boy! you've got the potential to be a madman. Ha ha. "The captain has a magical power, the waves and the rain naturally avoid him wherever he goes, and the turbulence has no effect on him. He stood at the door, and at this time there was no more water to enter the cabin, and the sea invaded two feet behind him, like a slap on a reef, becoming shattered, and slowly receding, "There are many people who have used this book, but I have never seen such an apocalyptic vision. ”

Xiao Chen was almost on the ground. He gasped and asked in a hoarse voice, "What exactly is the Shadow Scroll of the Sea of Knowledge, and why is my world like this?"

The captain thought for a moment and said, "The creator has only given me one task, which is to help the reader face his own spiritual world. Psychic power, an indescribable, indescribable, and uncontrollable power, was originally buried at the very bottom of the subconscious. And I will use your experience, memory, and emotions to concretize this power, so that you can see and touch it, so that it is easier for you to cultivate it, and then hold it to manipulate magic. It's just ......," the captain glanced with interest at the sea behind him, "the more things are contained in the subconscious, the more dangerous the world becomes. I've seen a lot of people die in their own worlds, and their worlds are really small compared to yours. ”

"Looks like this ship saved me?"

"That's right!" the captain patted the bulkhead beside him, and he pointed to a switch five paces away, and said, "Don't go over, turn it on with your mind." ”

Xiao Chen was puzzled, he stared at the switch according to what the other party said, and wanted to "turn on the lights", only to hear a click, and the lights in the aisle were lit up.

"What is this?"

"This is control, this ship is a controllable part of your mental power. In this field, you are safe. The sea and the sky, on the other hand, represent the part that has not yet been controlled. Master the uncontrolled parts and you will become stronger. ”

"Do all magicians cultivate like this?" Xiao Chen simply sat on the ground.

"You should feel honored, only the magicians of the Tower of Dreams are qualified to cultivate like this. The captain shrugged his shoulders and said, "Lucky fellow, decide quickly, or go back to your own world and let me go back to sleep, I hate this world that keeps shaking." Either go out and fight the sea and control more and more power, they call this 'forging god', and the magician has been forging his spiritual power all his life. ”

"Am I going to drown outside?" Xiao Chen asked.

"There is no real death here, but once you are swallowed up by the waves, your mind will be swept into the deep subconscious, and you will not wake up, and then there is only one possibility, to become a walking corpse. ”

"Vegetative?"

"Well, that's right, I like the words in your head, 'subconscious', 'vegetative' are very vivid, very useful, and this strange ship, it's also quite interesting. ”

Xiao Chen was silent for a short while, and then decided to take action, there was nothing more important than learning magic.

He fell to the ground, grabbed the baseboard on the wall with one hand, and broke the gap in the floor with the other, crawling out of the cabin little by little like a spider. He kind of figured out the pattern of the ups and downs of the ship, and every time he took advantage of the moment when the boat was stable at the top of the wave or at the bottom of the wave, he quickly crawled forward.

The captain looked at him and smiled playfully, and he walked out of the door, giving way to the whole opening, and the rain and waves rushed in again. Xiao Chen was in danger, grabbed on the threshold, his face was tightly pressed against the ground to withstand the momentum of the waves, and then took advantage of the inertia of the boat when it fell from the crest of the waves, and suddenly pounced on the railing outside the deck. He slammed his head against the post of the railing, grunting in pain, but finally managed to make it out of the cabin.

What a vast, gorgeous and terrifying world it is. The sea was not the deep blue he had imagined, but a multicolored color as if it had overturned a paint bottle. In other words, it is like some huge and colorful monsters, lurking at the bottom of the water, emitting various colors of light through a thin film of water. The sky was chaotic pitch black, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and lightning struck down from the sky all the time, illuminating most of the sky and turning it into a relief carved with cloud patterns. The rumbling thunder accompanied by the pouring rain filled Xiao Chen's senses. Make him tremble, make him afraid, make him excited.

"It's a big world. The captain squinted against the outer wall of the cabin, "It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Xiao Chen clung to the guardrail, enjoying the thrill of a roller coaster, he shook off his hair that was wet like strips of cloth, and yelled, "What is a pity?"

The captain said in a rare and serious tone: "The way of thinking determines the potential of the spiritual world. The creators believe that in order to form a perfect world, the person's mind needs six qualities: knowledge, activity, calculation, willpower, imagination, and stability. No one can do everything, and the average mage is good at having one or two strong points. I have entered the hearts and minds of many people, some of the worlds are cramped and cramped, some are static and dull, some are simple and rough, some are fragmented, and some are ugly and desolate. I've never seen anything like you...... Expansive, smart, rich, resilient and gorgeous world ....... It's a pity that you have one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, the stability of your mental power is not enough, it is too violent, just like that sea! Otherwise, what a perfect world it would be. ”

"How so?"

"I guess that's the price you pay for opening the book before you even have your eyes on it. Do you think the admonition on the page is false? If you don't reach the realm, there will be a price, and it is already great luck not to die. ”

Xiao Chen spat out a mouthful of saliva and grinned, "But it sounds like even if the stability is a little worse, my world is still amazing?"

"Hmph, I'm just talking about potential...... Dead kittens, not as big as mice. A world that has not grown up is worthless in the face of power. Shu Ling sneered, "You're still too far away. And magic is an accurate art, and even if you grow up, unstable mental power may make your magic very weird. ”

"Weird?"

"Imagine a fool picking his teeth with a mace, it's not easy not to hit himself in the face. Ha ha. ”

"Hey, then I'll just pick someone's teeth. Xiao Chen asked rhetorically.

The book spirit turned his face away and ignored him again.

"Alright, leave that alone. What should I do now?" Xiao Chen spoke, spitting seawater.

"The power of the spirit is contained in the seas and skies of this world, touch them, feel them, control them with your will, change them. You can get this power little by little. The captain seemed to like to see Xiao Chen's bad luck, and said happily.

"In human terms: is it being beaten by the wind and waves?"

"Exactly!"

"Fuck ......" Xiao Chen just opened his mouth and another huge wave hit the side of the ship, drowning him in the silver-white water.
