Chapter 40: The ability to gradually become clear
"Oh, it's like being out of body in my sleep, I feel that once in a while, but only once in a moment like this one as clear, and the last time I was observing everything as a perspective."
Before she could finish speaking, he interrupted her and asked, "Another time?" What was the last time? ”
"It's the time you woke me up in the Yongchuan Forest, do you remember? You were so angry that day because I was asleep in the forest! ”
"How could you forget?! That day, you were attacked in your sleep by Mother Rakshasa's men, but luckily I arrived in time. ”
"Actually, when I woke up by the lake that day, I had the same feeling as today, like a dream and entering another world, and the whole forest seemed to be shrouded in dusk mist. As I walked, I noticed a huge crack in the ground, and I was attracted by the red light in the crack and looked down, there were many chains hanging from the cages, and the cages were full of monsters. I was frightened and ran back, and I saw myself still lying in place when I was about to be attacked, and you appeared when I didn't know what to do, and saved me, although at that time I thought everything was just a dream, but ......" Xia Qiu told Ouyang Xiaoleng the real experience of that day in one breath.
"In that case, you should discuss it with Momiji, although it sounds like a soul separation, but this kind of soul separation of yours is completely different from what I knew before, do you know where you see through the crack?" After listening to Xia Qiu's words, even Ouyang Xiaoleng became no longer calm.
"Black Fire Purgatory?"
"Quite possibly! At least what you're describing is the same as what I know. Momiji is still resting in the outhouse, and now it is Fenghuo and Qianqi guarding, you can sleep a little longer, and we will discuss it with Momiji before we leave in the morning! Ouyang Xiaoleng felt a faint pain in his heart, it was a very painful experience for someone who had just awakened the ability of soul separation, it was a kind of torture for the body and soul, as for whether her ability was a blessing or a curse, he couldn't say.
"Hmm." Xia Qiu responded, and although Ouyang Xiaoleng tried her best to cover it up, she still heard the seriousness of this matter.
Ouyang Xiaoleng felt her uneasiness from her eyes, so he gently put his two hands on her shoulders to calm her mood, his big hands were like a tranquilizer, when the warmth came from his fingers, her breathing also became quiet and peaceful. He made her lie down, and then he lay down across from her, his eyes intertwined with tenderness.
At this moment, she felt that she liked him so much, more than anyone else. Although she knew that the situation she was facing no longer allowed her to think about it so much, this intention was still like a loose pony, uncontrollable, and they fell asleep unconsciously in the gaze of each other.
After dawn, Xia Qiu was woken up by some noises outside, Ouyang Xiaoleng was no longer by her side, she got up and walked out of the bird house to look down from the platform, and saw that the others had already packed up.
Ouyang Hongye raised his head and saw her standing on the platform looking down, so he flew up and said, "Awake?" Xiao Leng said that you didn't sleep well last night, so I didn't ask you to pack your luggage together, I want you to rest a little longer, and we should leave later! ”
Before Xia Qiu woke up, Ouyang Xiaoleng had already told Ouyang Hongye about her soul separation, and also gave him the piece of paper she had drawn, and Ouyang Hongye talked to him and Xia Qiu about it before leaving.
"Probably after signing the blood alliance, with the improvement of your own strength in the summer and autumn, your soul separation ability has also improved, the so-called soul separation, just like you said that the feeling of soul separation in your sleep is generated, at first the body will be slightly weak, but with practice, the soul separation ability will improve, this feeling of powerlessness will gradually disappear. There are many kinds of soul separation, but all soul separation generally starts at the place where you enter the soul separation state, that is, no matter who you are, after the soul separation, the first time you will have the illusion of waking up in the place where you enter the soul separation. Your situation last night is like a higher realm of soul separation, which is the so-called soul detachment of restoring the time curve of others in space, each of us acts on our own time curve, and as a space, we will actually record these curves, but this curve is usually not captured by others. Soul Detachment, on the other hand, has improved your ability to read a kind of time curve, and you can read the time curve of someone who was in the space you are in now at a certain point in time, and create a spatial picture, which is rare, but I have heard of it. But this type of soul separation will be limited by the space, that is, this finch house invisibly forms a relatively independent space, which is why you can't follow Blackfall to the place outside the finch house. At the same time as you attempt to break through this space, your soul is over, and the feeling of being withdrawn from your body announces the result. After Ouyang Hongye said such a long list of words, he lowered his head and looked at the paper in his hand again, "I have read this book from Lord Yong, it is a record and legend about some foreign things, and the foreign things referred to here refer to things and life forms that do not belong to the demon world, and some mysterious species may also come from the other world. ”
"You and Grandpa Yong have both told me that Blackfall has a mysterious life experience, didn't we find out that there is a black hole leading to another world in the Yellow Springs Country, maybe there is the same black hole somewhere in the demon world, maybe Blackfall is looking for the mystery of his life experience?" Ouyang Xiaoleng suddenly linked these two things together.
"Well, I have such thoughts too, but what I mind more is that Qingyun seems to know our every move well, and it seems that his eyeliner in Wang Cheng is not a simple character."
Ouyang Hongye showed a worried expression, as early as the time when Xia Qiu had not signed a blood alliance with Xiao Leng when he was attacked by the Black Fall; There is also this time that the seal of the Divine Pillar in the Chenji Palace was destroyed, and the incident of the scattering of divine power happened to occur at the promotion meeting, all of which does not look like a coincidence.
"Yes, and I'm very puzzled why he didn't come and attack us since he knew everything about us, and that sentence not to startle the snake was particularly worth thinking about."
Ouyang Xiaoleng's mood also became fluctuating, that fluctuation was completely different from his previous ones, his words could not hide his anger at their situation being firmly controlled by Qingyun, the death of his parents many years ago was most likely because of a traitor in the royal city, and the next sixteen years could not find out this traitor.
"It's really amazing that Xia Qiu can have such an ability, not to mention humans, even among our demons, this ability is extremely rare, and there are even fewer people who can skillfully use this ability!" Ouyang Hongye felt his rare anger and murderous aura, so he changed the topic slightly, "Now we can only connect the information we have so far with everything that has happened recently. ”
Xia Qiu thought hard for a while and said, "You once told me that Qingyun's purpose is to rule the Three Realms, so if the divine power in the Divine Pillar is completely dispersed, the destruction of the Demon Realm must not be what he wants!" And now the Demon Realm is facing this crisis, if he has all our whereabouts, then he must know that we are now looking for a way to save the Demon Realm, and attacking us now will definitely do more harm than good to him. ”
"Well, that's what I thought, but I have other questions." Ouyang Hongye frowned, "My intuition tells me that the crisis of the Four Divine Pillars in the Chenji Palace is very much like man-made sabotage, and this culprit is likely to be Qingyun himself, but if that's the case, isn't his actions a little contradictory?" ”
Ouyang Xiaoleng seemed to have a flash of inspiration suddenly, and then he said, "His purpose in causing a huge crisis in the demon world may be to make us ignore the search for him and give him time to accomplish something, as for what exactly?" Is it a complete restoration of strength? Or just wait for an opportunity? If that were the case, it would be even more terrible than attacking us directly. ”
"Since we left Dongyao, Sanmu has also begun to use his eyeliner in various parts of the demon world to collect news about Qingyun, hoping to gain something before Qingyun's next move, and now just solving the crisis of the Divine Pillar Seal has already made us anxious, damn! Don't tell anyone else what you saw when you left, anyway, our priority now is to find the Talisman, and I don't want to affect their emotions because of something that isn't entirely certain yet. At this moment, Ouyang Hongye was very serious, and said in an elder-like tone.
"Okay." Xia Qiu also felt that everything he saw when he left was too vague, and for now, it seemed that it would only add to the troubles of others.
Although the discussion came to an end for the time being, Ouyang Xiaoleng still unconsciously cared in his heart, he knew that every move taken by the scheming Qingyun was unexpected, just as the two wars he had launched made the demon world unguardable, even a great king like his grandfather Li and his father Ouyang Xueye did not completely defeat him. Thinking of himself at this moment, he was still far from them, he felt angry, this anger stemmed from frustration, hating that he couldn't have the power of his father and grandfather in an instant, let alone surpass them, he knew that in order to completely defeat Qingyun, he needed to become strong not only in his ability, but also in his own heart.
Ouyang Hongye saw on the side that the young man he had brought up was surrounded by contradictions and sorrows at the moment, and he felt heartache, but he couldn't do anything about it, some people were destined to bear much more responsibilities than others from birth, and this kind of injustice naturally existed in the demon world. People born with halos are often unable to choose their own path, they have to get used to being compared to their fathers from time to time, they have to adapt to how to survive under the harsh gaze, and before they can be recognized as an independent individual and not the descendants of a certain person, they have to go through an extremely long and painful process of metamorphosis, and only a few people can persevere and run to their heart's desire.
He was very aware of Ouyang Xiaoleng's hatred for Qingyun, because he himself was also at odds with Qingyun, but he didn't realize that the hatred under Ouyang Xiaoleng's calm surface had overflowed, and it could swallow reason at any time. And although Xia Qiu's ability amazed him, it also worried him, and he just pretended to be calm and didn't show his worries. As a very special ability, Soul Detachment will attract those who possess this ability to constantly explore themselves, and this self-prompting is likely to affect the physical and mental effects of the ability.
Because the premise of this ability is that the soul needs to leave the body to complete the process of jumping out of the shackles of time and space to interpret the spatial curve, and when the owner's ability does not reach a very high level, too frequent separation from the body is likely to make the owner unable to reunite the human soul and fall into a coma; Because the whole person will be extremely awake in the process of soul separation, and the memory is also extremely profound, people who are not strong enough in consciousness can easily be unable to distinguish between their own spatial curve and the spatial curve they see after waking up, which is really happening at this moment, so that their spirit will be harmed. Master Yong may be able to guide Xia Qiu's ability to leave the soul, and there are many records of the soul leaving and methods of discovering the ability of dreams in his many ancient books, as well as Dong Muya, there may also be related knowledge in the materials she manages, and all this can only be achieved after obtaining the Heavenly Rune and returning to the royal city of Yongchuan.
In fact, yesterday Xia Qiu was a little reluctant to forcibly leave her body when her soul left, and although she felt like she had not slept all night after waking up, she did not expect the damage that this ability might cause to herself. The blackfall in the dream caught her attention, his appearance was not ugly, his face was well-defined, he had sharp-shaped sideburns and beard, he was tall, his shoulders were broad, his skin was somewhat brownish, and he looked similar in age to Ouyang Hongye. For some reason, she felt that he did not match the image of the bad guy in her impression at all, because there was no trace of sinister or cruelty in his yellow pupils, but a bit of loyalty, should she trust her instincts? As a general by Qingyun's side, he is destined to be her enemy, but she stubbornly thinks that he is a rebel, because he dares to hide something under Qingyun's control, which just shows his courage.
