Chapter 9 Life is fate, death is fate
There is a small courtyard next to the persimmon tree.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard, although I can't see the house, I can vaguely understand the joy of family in the same house - the mother's advice, the girl's laughter, and the child's coquettishness...... The ears are full of joy, the tip of the nose is faintly fragrant with the fragrance of rice, and the warm scene is like in front of you.
But Sheng Jingtai and the others painfully and clearly knew that there were no living creatures in the courtyard, so they felt more and more deeply from the bottom of their hearts the silence of this regular world.
Cold sweat kept pouring out, flowing down the eyebrow bones into their eyes, sour and astringent, but they didn't dare to move, fearing that if they did, they would be next.
The thin old man who had touched the leaves before suddenly remembered something. He turned his hands back in a trembling manner, his gaze slowly moving down, and a whimper like a whimper came from his throat.
Sheng Jingtai shuddered, gasped, and took a few steps back away from the thin old man—more than half of his palms had turned golden!
The thin old man's body trembled like a leaf in the cold wind, his legs were weak, and he sat on his knees with dull eyes; he did not notice for a moment that the place where he sat down was constantly squirming like quicksand, and the road was blurred and blurred.
But he's going to find out.
His eyes widened in horror at the sight of his feet, calves and knees, everything that touched the ground turning gold faster!
The thin old man stood up with a howl, rubbing his palms and knees desperately with the ferocious force of peeling skin and bones...... Blood burst out, but even the blood had turned golden and red.
He drew his saber and raised it high against his legs, but his face twitched for a moment, and he couldn't help but let go of his hand, and the saber fell to the ground weakly.
He looked around half-crying and half-laughing, suddenly stared at Lu Qiming, fell to his knees with a thud, rolled over with difficulty and hugged Lu Qiming's legs, lowered his head and hissed: "Help me! Please save me! You can let me do anything!"
While he sincerely begged for Lu Qiming's forgiveness and help, the face buried in the shadows was distorted with pleasure; he pressed his golden palms tightly against Lu Qiming, and roared silently in his heart: "Let me die?!
However, the next moment, the thin old man felt that his body was light, and Lu Qiming quickly became distant in his eyes, and then the whole person fell to the ground heavily.
Lu Qiming said calmly: "It's useless." ”
The mental breakdown accelerated the expansion of the golden color, and the thin old man twisted and struggled on the ground. I don't know when, in the pure horror and hatred, there is gradually a trace of strange pleasure.
The sense of sacrifice that merges with the higher rules, the panic and unwillingness to lose one's consciousness, the bliss that sinks in the sacred, the despair and resentment of dying...... Contrasting expressions coexisted on his face at the same time.
Eventually, there will be eternal peace.
Lu Qiming watched this scene in silence, frowned, turned around, and continued walking.
......
The remaining five people fell into the endless cold, and Lu Qiming's calm departure made them fall into the abyss, and for a while, they all looked dazed.
"Don't touch something vague. Lu Qiming's voice suddenly sounded.
Sheng Jingtai and the others raised their heads suddenly, and their eyes instantly brightened.
Lu Qiming walked slowly and explained casually: "Many of the buildings here have changed, and since the rules in the secret realm have to correspond to the outside, it will take time to run in. ”
Lu Qiming patted a house with muddy edges and said, "This phenomenon will occur when it is run-in." For example, in this position, the rules are being reorganized, and there is a high level of activity - when you touch it, you will accelerate the assimilation of the rules. ”
Although Lu Qiming was talking, his footsteps did not stop. Sheng Jingtai and the others were shocked to see him drifting away, and hurriedly chased after him cautiously, not daring to separate from him for a moment.
Seeing that Lu Qiming was still willing to pay attention to them, the five of them gradually gained strength in their hearts, as if they had grasped a life-saving straw. After a while, it was Sheng Jingtai who opened his mouth to ask: "Excuse me...... Childe, if you keep going to the ground, won't you be fine?"
Lu Qiming said flatly: "It's just sooner or later." You have to be in the mood to look down and see where you are. ”
The five of them were stunned for a moment, and then reacted in an instant-since they had been walking on their legs, how could they not be stained with gold? They did not dare to look down, and their knees were unconsciously weak; but when they thought of the miserable condition of the thin old man before, they desperately held back and stood firmly.
Sheng Jingtai was silent for a long time. He asked Lu Qiming again: "What are you?"
Lu Qiming had all the questions to answer, and patiently explained without hesitation: "This secret realm excludes all outsiders, only allows rules to exist, and the rest are assimilated. However, cultivators who understand some rules can gain temporary recognition of the secret realm through the application of rules. ”
Lu Qiming glanced at their expressions that seemed to understand or not, and said, "The rules corresponding to Zhongzhou are relatively simple. If you can casually comprehend some of the mysteries of the Five Elements before you are completely assimilated by the rules, you will be able to live. ”
The sparks in the eyes of the three people behind lit up and then extinguished in an instant--the Five Elements Mysteries? That's the Mysteries Realm, and there is still no hope.
Sheng Jingtai and the other simply began to try. Anyway, he will die soon, so what's so terrible about the Upanishd Realm?
Lu Qiming looked at their expressions and smiled faintly, it was impossible for him to help - don't forget why these people appeared around him in the first place.
It's just self-inflicted.
But he wasn't going to get in the way, and if it did interest him, he might push them to the bottom of his suspicions.
Whether they survive or not depends on their lives.
......
Unfortunately, the more prosperous the city, the more frequent the changes in its pattern, and the reflection in the secret realm of the Golden Tree is that "the rules are more and more active".
It's just a short distance from Guangyang to Lufu, and the walking people disappear one after another.
I'm the only one left. Sheng Jingtai said silently in his heart.
He didn't see it with his own eyes, because he didn't dare to look back. But he could hear that at this moment, only himself and Lu Qiming were walking in the footsteps. At the same time, he also felt that his life was coming to an end, but he was still trying, forgetting that his little Zhou Tian's cultivation was working hard.
In this way, he only subconsciously followed Lu Qiming, but he didn't even know that Lu Qiming had entered the Lu Mansion.
Lu Mansion has not built a new house in recent years, and it is all familiar to Lu Qiming.
Lu Qiming didn't care about Sheng Jingtai, he walked to a slightly remote attic, opened the door, and saw with satisfaction the dense materials - this is a small warehouse that has been kept in the Lu Mansion.
Lu Qiming dragged over a carriage with his spiritual power, dismantled it in half, and began to reassemble it with various things taken out of the warehouse. He happened to know a mechanism blueprint that could make a small power-driven crane.
Naturally, the speed of this kind of car can't be compared with Lu Qiming's fastest speed, but the road to Zhongwu is long, and he can't really walk all the way, right?
The drawings were the drawings of the world in his previous life, but when he really started making them, Lu Qiming involuntarily changed many of the structures.
After it was made, Lu Qiming looked around, and felt that it was both strange and familiar, and suddenly couldn't help laughing-isn't it like the "car" that Lin Youzhi once painted for him?
After laughing, Lu Qiming sighed silently.
At this moment, he really felt that he was really in another world, Zhongwu, Lu Fu, and Brother Lin...... Isn't this all the business of this world? Sixteen years of life in this world is very short compared to 500 years in previous lives, but the impact on him is undoubted.
The contradiction in this is the main reason why Lu Qiming chose to enter the Golden Tree Secret Realm. After regaining his memory, it was necessary for him to regain his composure and clarity, so he needed to walk this journey alone.
In fact, after entering the Golden Tree Secret Realm, he mainly spoke and acted as his own in his previous life, and at this moment, because of Lu Fu and Lin Youzhi, he had to think about "Lu Qiming" at the same time - all kinds of emotions during this period were really complicated and difficult to speak.
Lu Qiming shook his head and raised his eyes to look at Sheng Jingtai, who was standing dumbly not far away—at this time, the gold had spread to his neck, making his face red;
Lu Qiming went over and grabbed him by the shoulders and put him in the car.
Sheng Jingtai woke up, but then found that the oppression had been greatly reduced, and when he looked down, the gold had retracted to his ankles again! His body trembled, and he looked at Lu Qiming in shock, but he couldn't say a thousand words.
Lu Qiming smiled at him and nodded, "If you can hold on until I do this thing well, I will save you once." Congratulations. ”
At this moment, although Sheng Jingtai was already middle-aged, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and said, "Childe......"
Lu Qiming didn't say anything more. He opened a groove, took a bottle of wine from the jade pendant and poured it into it—the car immediately began to move forward slowly, and then gradually accelerated, until at last it was no less than the best sweaty dragon rider.
Experiencing such an incredible trick and thinking about today's events, Sheng Jingtai only felt like he was in a dream.
The car sped forward, driving into the silent distance, but Sheng Jingtai felt in a trance that he was more like crashing into a completely different new world.
