Chapter 85: Floating Country in the Air (3)

After denying the possibility of dreams, Lu Qiming did not make any more meaningless temptations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Whoever took the trouble to bring him here, there must be something to say. Lu Qiming calmly waited for the man to appear, while casually scanning this strange space.

The void is a mysterious and endless deep darkness. Countless bright stars rotated silently, like a huge school of fish swimming slowly on the quiet bottom of the sea. The stars are shining, and they seem to be touchable between the reflections.

There is no distinction between heaven and earth, and it is difficult to perceive the passage of time, or even to discern whether one's position has ever moved. With this star movement alone, the speed felt seems to be slow, and it seems to be so fast that there is no limit.

Nothing is judged. However, for no reason, this place made Lu Qiming feel relaxed and comfortable, as if he had come to an unprecedented safe place.

I don't know how long it took to do this, Lu Qiming suddenly felt a beam of gaze. He looked up and saw a tall and thin middle-aged man not far ahead. And he seems to have been standing here for a long, long time.

The middle-aged man carried a heavy, unsheathed knife on his back, dressed in an ordinary black cloth robe, almost merging with the sky behind him. His face was cold and stiff, and he looked like a quiet and serious person, and it is conceivable that he should have a pair of resolute and indifferent eyes.

-- And it is such a person, looking at Lu Qiming's eyes full of excitement and joy that cannot be concealed, it is more like looking at his long-lost juniors.

The middle-aged man's lips trembled slightly, and he muttered in a tone that was almost a sigh: "Like, too similar...... It's so similar!"

Lu Qiming waited for a moment and said softly: "Dare to ask, did my predecessor bring me here?"

Listening to the young man's unfamiliar and polite tone, the middle-aged man was slightly gloomy, but his emotions finally calmed down. The middle-aged man stared at Lu Qiming for a long time, and did not answer his question for a while, but tried to ask him, "You...... You love it too, don't you?"

Lu Qiming said: "Here...... Is it also the favorite place of the predecessors?"

"No, it's the master's. The middle-aged man smiled with a look of reminiscence: "This is the favorite place for the master to come when he is alone." After a pause, he repeated, "You really like it too." ā€

Master?

Lu Qiming was slightly surprised. The aura of this middle-aged man in front of him was unfathomable, like an abyssal sea, far higher than anyone Lu Qiming had ever seen in this world--a cultivator of this realm would be so willing to recognize people as masters? So, what kind of existence should his master be?

"I know you must have a lot of questions," the middle-aged man looked at Lu Qiming's eyes and said with a faint smile: "But there is still plenty of time, I'll take you out to have a look first." ā€

Lu Qiming nodded slightly.

At the same time, a white curtain of light appeared silently.

The middle-aged man raised his hand and said, "Little master, please." ā€

Lu Qiming was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, and walked into the light curtain first.

......

The moment he walked out of the light curtain, Lu Qiming realized that the vast universe he had seen before was just the interior of a palace.

Standing outside the temple gate, standing on the top of this staircase and looking ahead, what you see in front of you is a huge palace complex that cannot be seen. Lu Qiming had to admit that even if it was the majestic scenery of the Chengyuan Sect in the previous life, it was categorically unable to compare with this scene at this moment. That kind of divine aura that has never appeared in the human world almost made Lu Qiming overturn his previous inference that "it was not a dream".

At this time, the middle-aged man's voice came from behind Lu Qiming: "This is the master's temple...... No, I should say that I copied it here as it is. ā€

Lu Qiming was silent for a moment and asked the first question: "May I ask senior, where is this place?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand slightly and said, "The little master just called my name 'Shiren'." ā€

"As for this place, I cannot name it now, except to say that it is a place where the little master will surely arrive. The stone man shook his head and explained, "Because now your breath is connected to the outside world, little master, if I say some sensitive names directly, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of 'it'." So not only this place, but also in today's communication between you and me, all specific names are avoided as much as possible. ā€

Lu Qiming bowed his head and said he knew.

Shiren continued: "I originally hoped to bring you directly from the little master, that would be the safest choice. I just didn't expect you to ......," he said as he paused as he said this, as if remembering some kind of prohibition. So he skipped what he was going to say before and said directly: "So I didn't succeed in the end, and only managed to make your consciousness body come temporarily." ā€

Is it a conscious body? Lu Qiming lowered his eyes and looked at his half-illusory hands, thinking in his heart. What is the method that can make a person's consciousness cross thousands of miles and inexplicably descend to another place? No matter what world it is, Lu Qiming has never heard of it.

Lu Qiming didn't ask the Shi Ren about the hidden words in vain, and instead said: "Rong Junior, I don't know where to start with the title that Senior Shi called me? If it is really that senior who intends to choose an heir, it is inevitable that the junior will be disrespectful to come like this." ā€

Shiren smiled faintly and said, "I understand what the little master wants to say." But I have followed my master to witness the beginning of all things, and I will never mistake you for who you are. And the fact that you are here is proof in itself. ā€

"As for the host......"

Shi Ren's gaze at Lu Qiming became very complicated. He was silent for a long time, and sighed in a low voice, "He is gone forever." ā€

He saw the apologetic look in Lu Qiming's eyes, waved his hand and said, "Don't care, you don't know this." What's more, this was originally the owner's own will. ā€

Nothing to say for a while.

The two walked back and forth, passing by guards in heavy gold armor, and sometimes there were palace maids with beautiful faces walking lightly between the corridors. Under the eaves, the fairy bell rings softly, which makes people feel calm.

In the central axis of the entire palace city, there is a bridge to the sky that is hundreds of miles longitudinal, and the whole body is built with white jade.

At this moment, Lu Qiming stood near the bridge, and when he saw the vastness of the smoke and clouds, he realized that the entire palace city was originally floating on the endless sea of clouds! However, what surprised Lu Qiming the most was not this-

Looking at the inscriptions on the side of the bridge, they are all the words of the world in his previous life!

In the communication between the two, Shiren has always used the language of this world, and Lu Qiming has never considered it in this direction. At this time, I think it must be to avoid being noticed by a certain being. Linked to the fact that this palace city was built by stone people in imitation of the original place, Lu Qiming couldn't help but think of that possibility.

"I look at these words, could it be that Senior Shi is also a cross...... "Although Lu Qiming did not say all the words "the world-crosser", the meaning is self-evident.

"We are indeed from the same place," the stone man paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "but more than 90,000 years ago, my master brought me to this world, just to wait for you, little master. ā€

Lu Qiming was stunned, and then laughed and said, "Me?"

"Not bad. There was no hint of joke in the stone man's expression. He fixed his eyes on Lu Qiming and said, "I know that you only have twenty-three years of memory of your existence, but everything the master has done is indeed for the sake of the current little master." ā€

"Twenty-three years?" Lu Qiming raised his eyebrows.

The stone man looked at him differently and said, "What?"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid Senior Shi did recognize the wrong person today. Lu Qiming smiled slightly bitterly, shook his head and said, "I have encountered such things many times...... I've heard from a friend that there is another practitioner here who is exactly the same as me in terms of appearance and soul aura. Although I don't know the reason for this, I think that the person that Senior Shi is looking for should be him. ā€

What Lu Qiming didn't expect was that Shiren denied it without hesitation. After that, no matter how euphemistic or direct Lu Qiming persuaded him to be cautious, Shiren only insisted on one sentence from beginning to end-

"The existence of the little master, I will never admit that I am mistaken. ā€

The most helpless thing for Lu Qiming is that the stone man just didn't explain the basis of his judgment, which made Lu Qiming really angry and funny in his heart, but he couldn't have a seizure, after all, the stone man's origin is mysterious, and his cultivation is even more unfathomable. If the "90,000 years" he said is true, then the true realm of this person is simply unimaginable, and it is very likely that he is infinitely close to the legendary "eternity". In the face of such an existence, even if what he said was outrageously wrong, Lu Qiming had no choice.

In the end, Lu Qiming sighed and said, "Since Senior Shi is so insistent, then please send me away first today." ā€

Shi Ren was stunned and said, "Why do you say that?"

Lu Qiming said: "Although I can't convince you, at least I can do it without pretending to take advantage of the legacy left by that predecessor for the true heir." ā€

The stone man smiled slightly and said, "I understand your kindness, but you really don't have to worry about this, because the master has not left you anything." ā€

Lu Qiming was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he had to say, "Let Senior Shi laugh." ā€

The stone man continued: "The only thing left to you by the master is me. Guarding the well-being of my little master - that's the only reason I still exist today. ā€

Lu Qiming was silent for a while and did not answer.

"That is true, but you don't have to have any burden. Shi Ren seemed to be able to guess the worry in Lu Qiming's heart. He said, "You don't have to do anything for your master or me. ā€

Lu Qiming raised his head and looked at him, and said, "Why?"

Shiren was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't understand my master's decision. But he has said that only by doing so can he accomplish the 'infinite unknown'. ā€

Infinite unknowns?

Lu Qiming chewed these six words in his heart and was silent.

"In front of it is the main hall. The stone man raised his hand and pointed to the end of the jade bridge in the distance, and said with a smile: "There, there is a gift I prepared for the little master." ā€

Lu Qiming looked forward.

A huge temple as majestic as a mountain, when viewed from afar, it looks like countless giant swords pointing to the sky.

"Let's go. ā€
