Chapter 11: Sowing
"Then when are you going to hand over the books and people to me?" Ye Xiaochuan seemed to have cleaned up his mood, only a faint sadness remained in his eyes, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see it at all.
"Poof!"
An unusually familiar figure was thrown to the ground by the one-eyed cripple, splashing a lot of smoke and dust on the potholed dirt road, and it was impossible to see where he had been pulled out, and he was never seen to get up from the ground, and he did not even have any signs of life.
"Where do you want me to transport this corpse?" Ye Xiaochuan always had a feeling of being calculated, hesitated slightly, and said, "If you don't want to tell the truth, I won't join your organization." ”
"Then what do you want to know?" The one-eyed cripple looked up at the starry sky and said, "I can tell you frankly that for every recipient, the conditions I give are the same. ”
This seems fair and reasonable at first glance, but in fact it is a hidden mystery.
"But people are different. Not to mention the innate conditions, even the acquired opportunities cannot be equal. So between us, there must be advantages and disadvantages. And what is the impact of this? is it different, or is it something else?"
Ye Xiaochuan naturally heard the sound outside the strings, and couldn't help but ask with some doubts.
"Now that you've thought of this, you'll soon understand the rules when you get the Magic Sutra. The one-eyed lame man's eyes were obviously full of approval, and he said, "I admire you, not only because of your outstanding physique, but also because of your character, and even the latter is more important to me!"
"There is no one in this world who has an outstanding physique, and those who have a very different heart and tenacity can often have the last laugh...... The world out there is vast, and you need to experience it for yourself. Come here, and I will preach your scriptures. ”
The one-eyed lame man's expression rarely became extremely serious, and there were faint ripples in the only remaining eye, and then suddenly expanded, Ye Xiaochuan only felt dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, he had already entered a strange space.
There is no down-to-earth touch, no weightless suffocation, no ethereal haze, no sound of cracking stones or faint mosquito chirping, just stars all over the void in the darkness. Everywhere you look, there are large spots of light of varying sizes.
The big ones shine brightly, the small ones are almost imperceptible.
Just as Ye Xiaochuan was staring at a slightly larger point of light slowly eating away at another small point of light with interest, he suddenly felt an inexplicable force, and his body was dragged towards an unknown distance, and the mottled light and shadow quickly passed by him one by one, so that his eyes couldn't focus and couldn't see anything clearly.
After all attempts were fruitless, he simply didn't pay attention to it, closed his eyes and waited quietly.
I don't know how long it took, just when Ye Xiaochuan was drowsy, his body finally regained his freedom, and there was a real touch under his feet.
Surprised, he hurriedly opened his eyes to look at the surroundings, and when his eyes adjusted to the change of light, he saw that there was an infinite black under his eyes, and the void above his head was still embedded with a starry sky.
"Knock, knock......"
Ye Xiaochuan stomped his feet lightly, and when he heard such an obvious echo, he unconsciously frowned. The ground beneath his feet was vacuum.
"Go forward, watch your step!" The one-eyed lame man's voice finally appeared, but he was nowhere to be seen, making Ye Xiaochuan wonder if he was caught up in that strange eye.
"What's the waiting? Hurry up, there's not much time!" this time there was eagerness in his voice, and there was a hint of exhaustion.
Although Ye Xiaochuan was suspicious at the moment, the current situation did not allow him to think about it more, so he had to obediently obey and walk forward with his head down.
After about a stick of incense, a boxy hole suddenly appeared in the ground in front of him, black and dark, and he couldn't feel a trace of wind. If you think about it, you can know that the space below must be confined to the surface.
"There are steps down there, you ...... Just ...... forward" At this time, the tiredness of the one-eyed lame man seemed to be unable to hide it, and it was even a little difficult to speak.
Ye Xiaochuan hesitated for a moment, the black hole in front of him seemed to have become the giant mouth of the beast, hideous and terrifying.
"The space down here is sealed ......"
"A quarter of an hour! You have a quarter of an hour, and if you drag it on, we'll all die!" the one-eyed lame's muffled voice sounded like it was roaring out of his throat through gritted teeth.
But it's still quite effective. Ye Xiaochuan acted immediately, but not blindly, he tried to poke his foot. Sure enough, there were steps below.
When his feet touched the steps in the darkness, two continuous fire dragons appeared in front of him in an instant, and he was so frightened that he had to cover his eyes with his hands, and when his eyes adjusted to the sudden light, he realized that the so-called fire dragons were nothing more than two rows of torches that zigzaged and winded.
"This ......"
At this time, Ye Xiaochuan wanted to scold people, because his back was already wet, and his legs were also soft. Just now, he thought that he had really fallen into some trap and fallen into the mouth of something.
"Quick!"
The one-eyed lame man's voice sounded again, and a word full of anger woke Ye Xiaochuan up, and his time was running out. As far as the eye could see, there was a high platform at the end of the torches in front of you.
Time was pressing, so he had to run wildly, five or six steps at a time, up and down, and soon came to the high platform.
On the small countertop, there is only a table with a round vessel resembling a washbasin on it, and nothing else.
"What does this mean?" Just when Ye Xiaochuan was confused, the one-eyed cripple spit out three short and hurried words again, "Put your hand in the ......"
It's obviously half a sentence, but the meaning is fully expressed.
Ye Xiaochuan almost didn't think about it, he rushed to the side of the case with an arrow, and directly put his hands into the "basin" to wash his hands.
For a moment, he had a very strange feeling, his eyes closed involuntarily, his fingers interlocked, and he felt as if he was tightly entangled with something at this moment, and he had a strange feeling that he couldn't explain.
Almost at the same time as he closed his eyes, a white flame silently rose from the basin, and this pale flame burning in Ye Xiaochuan's hand was not actually noticed by himself. His whole person seems to be indulged in a special state, ignorant of the outside world.
The torches on both sides of the staircase were suddenly extinguished, and at the same time, the inner walls of the basin became crystalline, refracting the blazing light from the white flames! It turned out that the surrounding inner walls were crystal clear, like mirrors.
And the light source is not extinguished, the light is constant.
Patches of white light began to appear on the ground that Ye Xiaochuan had stepped lightly on with his feet, until all the places were filled with white light, and the entire internal space was filled with fluorescent white light. At this moment, a new point of light appeared in this strange space.
From a distance, it is impossible to check.
"Boom!"
A pillar of light from a distant unknown place came instantly, and Ye Xiaochuan, who was hit by his head, quickly lost consciousness.
"Seeds are everywhere, but there are very few flowers, I don't know when I will be able to ......" The one-eyed lame man's eyes were full of fatigue, and he glanced faintly at Ye Xiaochuan, who was unconscious under his feet, and whispered to himself.
