Chapter 118: The Law of a Thousand Folds
If anyone could know the conversation between the Chu couple, they would definitely be surprised by their very different ideas. But if you look at it so simply, it would be wrong.
In essence, the two of them are one and the same -- each holding seemingly opposite ideas, but in the end they get the closest thing to the right answer. It's just the way they're used to it.
Similarly, the reason why Chu Fengge analyzed Lu Qiming like that was because he needed to say so. Everyone knows the truth - no one in this world can truly restore another person's hidden thoughts.
They could only see that Lu Qiming did not continue to explain after asking such a question. Whether it's intentional or coincidental, in short, since then, Lu Qiming really can't be distracted anymore.
......
The Fifty Chambers of the Mystery Lock do not exist in isolation.
They were tightly fused together by countless intricate formations, reflecting each other, like huge living creatures breathing all the time.
In the formation, this type of construction has a subordinate name - Senju Law.
This is the real sense of pulling a hair and moving the whole body, and Lu Qiming is being a careful wiremaker.
Every change Lu Qiming makes, no matter how small, will inevitably lead to an incomparably complex chain reaction in the "Lost Lock" as a whole -- but this terrible change must not be allowed to go unchecked, and Lu Qiming must undo it before it deteriorates beyond control.
However, Lu Qiming's subsequent actions are still an external force for the "lost lock", and a new chain reaction cannot be avoided -- then new means of redemption are needed.
Change, change, change, change, change again...... Layer after layer of tsunami-like chasing against time, Lu Qiming will face a more dangerous stalemate every moment than the previous moment.
The formation is endlessly alive because it is a dead thing, but the human heart will eventually be exhausted, how can it be matched? The value of the "Lost Lock" lies in this, it comes from the hands of the top formation masters, and unless there is an absolutely overwhelming force to directly destroy it violently, there is no solution.
No, violent destruction is not "unraveling" in the true sense of the word. So there is still no solution.
There is no solution to the confusion.
But Lu Qiming is doing such an inexplicable thing at the moment.
......
On the left and right walls, everyone except Lu Qiming seemed to be just a background screen that had already been painted, unconsciously choosing to stand silently, and even the sound of breathing was subconsciously pressed to the minimum.
Time passed steadily in silence.
At a certain moment, Chu Fengge suddenly said: "I have made a mistake, and my previous efforts have been wasted." β
Chu Mu raised his eyebrows to look at him and teased: "It's even less than I estimated - this is the first time I've overestimated you." β
He shook his head and smiled, and sighed: "It's ridiculous that I actually said 'change to Shaoqiu's cultivation' before, it turns out that even with my calculation ability to cultivate the Yuan Realm, it can't compare to him." β
Chu Mu's expression returned to nonchalant, chuckled, and asked him rhetorically: "Could it be that you have finally cultivated to Guiyuan for the sake of arithmetic? β
Chu Fengge smiled: "I'm just explaining one fact. β
The two looked at each other for a while, and Chu Mu said softly, "You say, will he succeed?"
Chu Fengge didn't answer yes or no, but said: "If you continue, this kind of layered advancement will form a complete cycle from beginning to end." At that time, every node of the Lost Lock Formation was more or less under his control - and a new authority appeared. β
He smiled and said, "I'm thinking about the 'fatal flaw' that everyone ridiculed when the 'Thousand Laws were first created'. β
"I remember. Chu Mu nodded, "The more complete and unresolved the 'Thousand Heavy Law' is, the more flaws there will be. If it is a completely unsolvable 'Thousand Folds Law' that is a mystery, then it can be broken everywhere - as long as you can complete what this kid is doing now, you can snatch control of the whole 'Thousand Folds Law' through any position. β
This argument has been a notoriously ridiculous fantasy in the formation since its inception, because this so-called method of "seizing control" is believed to exist only in theory, and absolutely no one is capable of accomplishing it.
As long as we are human, we must have emotions, as long as we have emotions, we will inevitably make mistakes, and as long as we make mistakes, we will inevitably fail.
Chu Mu's true mood was obviously completely different from what she said before. She muttered, "Is this law of death finally going to be broken?"
Chu Fengge was silent for a long time and sighed: "I'm afraid that it hasn't been broken." β
Chu Mu was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "You mean." β
"The existence that was born more than a hundred years ago," Chu Fengge said very vaguely, "Don't you think...... Isn't it similar?"
Chu Mu let out a long "oh" and smiled: "I think it's okay, it's not that similar, have you forgotten the kid named 'Xunguan' in Yuelu?"
Chu Fengge said: "It's still different. β
"Anyway, I'll leave all the brainstorming to you. Chu Mu covered his mouth and yawned.
At this time, the two of them coincidentally set their eyes on Lu Qiming again.
Chu Fengge smiled with emotion.
......
"Alright. β
Lu Qiming breathed a sigh of relief silently, slowly sat down in place, closed his eyes and rested.
The suppression of the spiritual power by the formation suddenly disappeared without a trace, a flash of shock flashed in Chu Shaoqiu's eyes, and the previous unbelievable guess was clear in an instant;
Lu Qiming nodded slightly and asked in a low voice, "How long has it been?"
"It's been half an hour. Chu Shaoqiu's eyes were complicated, but he didn't ask anything else.
If it was only "shock" before, then now after he regained his mental power perception, he is completely "shocked" -- how can such a huge "Thousand Folds Law" of this level really be unraveled? However, the facts are irrefutable. Although Chu Shaoqiu was suspicious, seeing that Lu Qiming was really tired, he knew that this was not the time to chat, so he had to suppress his curiosity again.
"Don't move. Lu Qiming reminded. Along with his voice, the light and shadow of the room shifted.
Without the white jade plate, everything is clearly visible. Countless large and small formations were like gears that were biting together, so rigorous and precise, no matter how Ren Chu Shaoqiu looked at it, he felt that he couldn't make any changes.
However, under Lu Qiming's control, these formations were rapidly and smoothly reorganized againβfinally turning into a new whole, wrapping Chu Shaoqiu and the demon girl's position together, like a delicate and incomparable embroidered carpet.
Chu Shaoqiu also understood the meaning of the formation at this time, and this time there was no need for Lu Qiming to explain again, he took the initiative to imprint his palm in the correct position in the formation.
Lu Qiming bowed his head and said, "Offended." β
After all, it is very rude to penetrate the body of another practitioner with mental power under any circumstances, and of course this is just a customary etiquette, and things should be done.
He "saw" the appearance of the seal lock set up by Nanlin, and after a little thought, he drew an aura from the formation, and slowly seeped through Chu Shaoqiu's meridians to the dantian.
Chu Shaoqiu felt the special nature of this aura, and said in surprise: "Simulating internal force? β
"Yes, but you must not use internal force. Lu Qiming emphasized this sentence again, concentrating on the spirit of the aura to form a tangled thread, hooking the seal lock and carefully pulling towards the formation.
This one of Lu Qiming's group belongs to the exchange formation, and the purpose is to transfer the seal lock on Chu Shaoqiu's body to the demon girl.
"Feel it for yourself, you didn't make a mistake, right?" After the transfer was completed, Lu Qiming waved his hand to return the formation to its original position.
"Nope. β
"Let's go, then. Lu Qiming stood up, "Time is very tight, we have to go and release the people locked up here first, and then open the ruins of the 'Daye Ancient Kingdom'." β
Chu Shaoqiu was puzzled: "What are you doing when you release people, are you doing good deeds?"
"Of course not, it's just a clearance. The ruins are here. Lu Qiming pointed to the ground with his finger.
"Besides, it's not free to let them out - they still need to provide the materials to open the ruins. β
