Text VIII. The Vague Truth (2)
"With your level of solidity, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to hit you," Zhang Zhongjian scolded with a smile: "The teacher doesn't say it, it's just that it is extremely difficult to grow because of the scale of conceptual ability, and most of the time it depends on chance; ”
After a pause, he said, "And the ability to see, with the size of the fragment, the range of vision is completely different. This scale is not only about space, but also about time. ”
"Time frame?"
"Yes," Zhang Zhongjian said, "When the teacher has the ability to see, the spatial range that he can see is close to 800 miles, and he can see the past 30 years and a short period of time in the future, in terms of the ability to see, this is already a very strong ability." ”
"A short period of time in the future?" Ye Fei interjected curiously, "How long is it?"
"More than a month, to be exact. Zhang Zhongjian said.
"Perverted ability," Ye Fei stuck out his tongue, "This is simply a short-term prophet." ”
"I've been traveling around with my teacher for a long time, and this ability has helped a lot. Zhang Zhongjian said, "But nearly a hundred years ago, when the ability began to lose, the time frame that could be seen was rapidly shortened, and after just over two years, you could only see the present, and as for the past and future, you couldn't even do it for a few seconds." It took less than five years for all abilities to be lost. ”
"It's a pity!" Ye Fei sighed, "Otherwise, it can save a lot of things." ”
"That ability to leave Mo Li, there should be no future. Xinlan said suddenly.
Yun also nodded at the same time as Zhang Zhongjian, and Ge Tongshan on the side also showed a look of approval. Ye Fei and Lin Yufei were stunned at the same time. "Why?" Ye Fei asked impatiently.
"I guess it's been a guess from the situation these days. Lin Yufei reacted, "If he can see the future for even an hour, I'm afraid that many of the strange beasts we deal with will be snatched away by him, but in fact, in addition to the ones that are too far away and we can't catch up, there are only two or three of them that he snatched halfway, which is enough to show that he can't see the future too far, and even if he can, it's too short to be used." ”
"That's a good point. Yun also nodded, "Whether he can see the past or not, at least not the effective future, is very fortunate for us." ”
"I can't see the past. Ge Tongshan interjected, "I have known him for the last forty or fifty years, and there have been a few years when I have been very close to him, if he can see the past, using my Thousand Machines Illusion Array will not be as specious as the two of you said." Speaking of the last few words, his gaze turned to Ye Fei and Lin Yufei.
"Makes sense. Zhang Zhongjian nodded, but Yun still just snorted.
"Whatever, he won't tell us even if he can see it anyway, so we might as well get started and find someone. Ye Fei said, "But tomorrow will be very tired, or ...... Shall we rest early tonight?", he said, his gaze turning to Yun Huan.
"Stinky boy!" Yun snorted, "but that's right, rest well tonight, and start tomorrow, take out all your means and do your best to find someone." Qinglan. ”
"Teacher. Lin Yufei was stunned for a moment, and then responded.
"Although it may make you uncomfortable to say it, you still have to say it," Yun Huan said, "Since you know all the strange beasts, then the identity of this creator cannot completely exclude the people around you. You need to think about whether the people around you have been out of the ordinary lately, and we must not let go of any clues. ”
"Yes. Lin Yufei felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and lowered his head in response.
Midnight.
Lin Yufei woke up from his sleep, but he didn't burst out. He was used to waking up like this, so although he was covered in cold sweat, his body didn't move. He quietly opened his eyes, looked at the canopy that could not be seen in the darkness, and exhaled softly.
As always, he had that dream again. But this time there was something more in the dream, and the last sentence was already heard as clearly as in the Hundred Illusion Binding Spirit Array, but hearing it clearly does not mean that he understood, he often thought of this sentence even during the day in the past few days, but he was a little confused.
Don't forget yourself? Is this to wake up from your illusion? But in this case, isn't it more appropriate to say, "Don't lose yourself"? And now that you have woken up, why does this sentence still appear in your dreams? Is it just that you are thinking about it day and dreaming about it at night?
"Did I really forget something?" Lin Yufei had such a thought in his heart, but it was not clear. The dreams of the caves, the starlight, the fields of flowers, and the mysterious man had recurred in his dreams for the last month or two, and it seemed unusual to him, as if someone was trying to tell him something. At the end of each dream, he wanted the dream to be longer so that he could know more, but each time he woke up after everything was nothing. Now there are finally a few more, but it only makes him more confused. It's not that he didn't want to tell the story of this dream and let the teacher and them refer to it together, but as if something was stopping him, he couldn't say it every time it happened, and there would always be some events that made his determination to dissipate again.
"Maybe it's just that I don't want to say it. Lin Yufei said silently in his heart, then got up gently, got dressed and came to the living room.
There are no lights in the living room, but a few switches with luminescence are faintly green. Lin Yufei focused Zhenqi in his eyes slightly, and saw everything in the living room clearly through the faint light. Everyone went back to their rooms, and no one was meditating in the living room tonight. He subconsciously glanced at the cat food box in the corner of the living room, it was still full, there was no sign of moving, it seemed that Meow still hadn't come back, so he couldn't help but wonder if Meow was not used to the new environment and went back. Xuan was dumbfounded, thinking that no matter how smart it was, it was a cat, how could it recognize dozens of kilometers of roads. He shook his head, shook off irrelevant thoughts, and made his way to the entrance in the softest voice, pushing the door open and leaving.
In the gymnasium, on a steel ingot in the center of the field.
The ingot was the largest of the onots on the field, a cube that reached three meters on each side. Lin Yufei was lying quietly in the middle of the top surface at the moment, with his hands behind his head, quietly looking at the starry sky above his head.
He wasn't thinking about the dream. That dream appeared almost every day, and he was somewhat used to it. What really kept him awake was actually what Yun Huan said to him at the end.
Just like Yun Huan said it himself, that sentence really stabbed him. He is an introvert, not good at interacting with people, and those who can get close enough to him can be counted on ten fingers, and those who really understand him to the point where they are completely familiar with his preferences are the only one who is afraid of them.
The one who grew up with him.
But how can I doubt her, Lin Yufei said to himself quietly. His younger sister Lin Yifei was five years younger than him, and when his parents died, he was twelve years old, and his sister was only seven years old and had just entered elementary school. Although there are neighbors who take care of him from time to time, he himself still has to drop out of school and go home to take care of his sister, so he secretly cries in the dark a few times because of his introverted personality. Whenever this happens, it is the sister who occasionally sees her comforting her. But she is a seven-year-old child, and when she is comforted, she will only coax him like her parents coax her, and she can always make him laugh. Finally, he was able to work at the age of eighteen, and his life slowly settled down, and his sister also went to junior high school, and he even had time to sign up for the adult college entrance examination in addition to his part-time job. It seems that he finally has the ability to take care of his sister, but in fact, the person who is always taken care of is still himself.
What reason do I have to doubt such a person who has been with me for fifteen years, or even someone who has taken care of me for fifteen years? This thought swirled back and forth in his mind, lingering, and suddenly there was an inexplicable dissatisfaction in his heart that slowly surged and became more and more intense. Until a face appeared above him and startled him.
"Mr. Ge?" Lin Yufei came back to his senses, "Can't you sleep too?"
It was Ge Tongshan who came, not his imaginary elder brother Zhang Zhongjian. Although he hasn't known each other for a long time, Zhang Zhongjian is already like a kind elder in his heart, and he can comfort him from time to time, but he didn't expect it to be Ge Tongshan, a person outside the division.
"Are you thinking about what your teacher said just now?" Ge Tongshan didn't say anything superfluous, and cut straight to the topic, "Do you hate him? Hate him for not being close to people?"
"Hate?" Lin Yufei was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "It's not to that extent, although I feel a little uncomfortable, but what the teacher said is right, I should really pay attention to the people around me." ”
"I can't help it!" Ge Tongshan glared at him, "You are not a person who is good at hiding your emotions, hasn't anyone told you? And looking at you, I obviously didn't expect me to come to you, right?"
Lin Yufei nodded honestly. Ge Tongshan continued: "Originally, your senior brother wanted to come, but I felt that although he could make you feel calmer, he couldn't fundamentally solve your problem, so I stopped him. ”
"My problem?" Lin Yufei was stunned for a moment, and then heard Ge Tongshan's last sentence, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Let's start at the beginning. Ge Tongshan ignored Lin Yufei's doubts and asked directly, "Did your teacher tell you about his status in the Daomen?"
"This old boy is very strict. Ge Tongshan muttered, "Then let me tell you in detail, your teacher, although he has no talent, but among the capable people in China, he is one of the best, do you know why?"
"Is it his thunder technique, or is it longevity?" Lin Yufei asked tentatively.
"Neither. Moreover, for cultivators, longevity is not a specialty; his Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Power can indeed be called the strongest in the Dao Sect, even surpassing the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Dafa of the Zhengyi Gate, but unfortunately the accumulation time is too long, so in terms of comprehensive power, it is actually not ranked first. His real strength lies in his prestige. ”
"Prestige?" Lin Yufei was stunned.
