Chapter Seventy-Two: Swimming
Man Jianghong was shocked, and the "brush" of his sober consciousness returned to himself, rather than waking up from a dream in a daze. It was as if it was just a trance, and he walked away for a while and took a nap, but his behavior was still coherent.
The drizzle was like silk, soaking through the clothes, wetting the face and cooling the body.
The moon is babbling, it's raining in a dream, it's still raining when you wake up from a dream!
This would have been nothing unusual. However, it actually rained in a closed cave, is there any heavenly reason?
He stood up in disbelief, and saw in the pillar of light that the rain was distinct, like silver threads, like spider silk. The white mist of the dome is thick, and the lake surface resounds with a fine "crackling" sound, mixed with the echoes of the four walls, as if thousands of spring silkworms are gnawing on mulberry leaves, playing a low and majestic symphonic music.
When he turned around, he saw that the ice spirit was still sitting in the depths of the small cave with his eyes closed, not waking up, nor being affected by the rain.
He had been standing outside the cave, but now he took two steps back and moved into the cave to avoid the rain, and watched the large droplets of water fall from the edge of the cave while combing through the dream just now.
The first dream was extremely short, and the impression was somewhat vague. At that time, I heard the call, traveled through the universe, saw the milky white saucer-shaped nebula flowing slowly, and saw a girl with long hair and a white dress walking out of the abandoned castle on the planet full of yellow sand, looking up at the sky anxiously.
That girl's appearance really looks like an ice spirit.
The content of this dream is very simple, it should be a subconscious belief that the girl you love is in danger and needs to be rescued, which is very consistent with the current difficult situation.
However, in retrospect, the rest of the impression was only a glimpse of the light, except for the clear voice of the call, which could be heard as Qionghua's voice. It should be that Qionghua summoned himself unsuccessfully, so he sent someone to pick him up, and thus entered the realm of too illusory. It is equal to the two dreams before and after, which are actually connected.
As for the background of dreams such as the universe, nebula, yellow sand, and ancient castles, careful analysis should have a deeper symbolic meaning. But the current situation didn't allow him to spend time on this, so he continued to think about it.
The details of the second dream are vivid and vivid, and the impression is clear and vivid, not so much like a dream, but like a personal experience.
The environment in the north is harsh, the wind and sand are hard, and the legend is that they are fighting with the sky, such as Kuafu chasing the sun, and Yugong moving mountains. The southern scenery is beautiful and the environment is pleasant, so the legend is more gentle and romantic, such as the legend of the white snake, and the bangs cut the wood.
Sleepwalking in Wonderland, it should be that grandma told her stories about ghosts and elves since she was a child, which had an impact.
There was once a man who met a ghost in a dream, and the ghost knew everything. This man is very frightened, there is a master who has turned into a way, the ghost is an illusion produced in the heart, and of course it knows everything you know. The next time the ghost came back, he grabbed a handful of soybeans and told him to guess how many there were. Sure enough, when the ghost came back, he couldn't guess the number of soybeans, and he retreated in shame. Because the man grabbed the beans with his hand, and he didn't even know how many they were.
"There is a phoenix to come" and "The Song of Ni Clothes and Feathers", you may have heard it before and forgotten it, this dream is just turning out some old traces that have sunk in the bottom of your heart.
There is a way to test if it was just a dream or if it actually happened.
Qionghua and Green Calyx sent out the peach blossom dew, the heaven-shaking bow, the pill, the peach blossom dew I Ching to wash the marrow, the Zhentian bow to subdue the demon and punish the evil, and the pill to nourish the god Peiyuan. As long as it is proven that these three treasures work, everything speaks for itself, and vice versa.
Man Jianghong closed his eyes and concentrated, silently using the nameless trick to feel the subtle changes in his body. After a few moments, he gave up.
There is no true qi in the body, so it is naturally impossible to experience the changes of "I Ching Washing the Pulp". There is no way to find the heaven-shaking bow, and the pill is not viagra, how can it be immediate.
It's just a dream, so can it be so real?
He chuckled, turned his head to look at Bing Ling, who was meditating quietly, and walked out lightly.
He braved the drizzle to get to the beach and found that the water had moved more than two meters down. It seems that the low tide is coming to an end, and you have to dive out of the hole immediately.
"Jiang Hong, why is it raining?" came the girl's confused voice from behind.
He turned around and saw the ice spirit standing at the entrance of the small cave, supporting the cliff wall with one hand, and the light on his back, like the silhouette of a goddess.
"The tide has receded to its lowest level, you have to get out right now, you slow down. He shouted, but did not come up to help.
The other party is a great grandmaster, but he is much stronger than himself.
The two of them walked back along the lake, deliberately looking for a conversation to dispel her fears, but his voice was not as affectionate as before.
"Bingling, there is also a lot of water in the Three Gorges, why can't you swim?"
"I watch the Yangtze River pass in front of the door every day, but the water is turbulent, the cliffs on both sides, who dares to go down. Besides, people follow you every day, and those who see some small streams and pools will not let you come close. β
Oh, understood. You are a golden branch and jade leaf, and your ten fingers do not touch the spring water, so you naturally can't swim.
"I grew up on the shores of Dongting Lake, and the water is very good. Wait a minute, take a deep breath, hold your breath, and hug me tightly. I estimate that the passage connecting this dark lake to the outside is not very long, and you can get out in a minute or two. β
Hearing that she let herself hug him tightly, the girl blushed, and it took a long time for her to say "um", as thin as a mosquito.
I walked all the way to the place where Man Jianghong was washed up on the beach, and came to the end of the cave, and there was no way out.
He pointed to the middle of the cliff that stood in the lake, and said, "The exit is down there, I'll go and explore it first." β
She showed a look of reverence, and didn't ask him how he knew, she untied something from her neck and handed it over, saying, "This is a personal magic weapon given to me by my aunt and grandmother, which can ward off evil spirits, you wear it." β
He was about to refuse, but he thought of the black rumbling in the water, and he didn't know what else existed, so he took it and hung it around his neck. It feels like a peach pit-sized thing, the tentacles are slippery, and it seems that there is still a girl's body fragrance.
He was a little uncomfortable, and waded into the water, but the water was waist-deep but turned his head, looked at her fixedly, and said:
"Ice Spirit, you stay here and don't move. Trust me, I'll definitely be back. Other than that...... And also...... I'm sorry, I really like you! If you can go back alive, I will definitely marry you!"
The first few words were stumbling and slow, but the last few sentences were as fast as a string of high-speed machine gun bullets. In order to hide his embarrassment, he didn't wait for a reply, and a fierce man plunged into the water.
She exclaimed "ah", quickly covered her face with her hands, and put it down when she heard the sound of water.
In the faint light of almost nothingness, she watched his vague figure disappear, the water surface rippled in circles, and the feeling of loneliness suddenly hit, her throat was a little choked, tears came out of the corners of her eyes, and she nodded heavily. Although even he couldn't figure out the meaning of nodding, although he couldn't see it anymore.
The sea water is cold, and the ferocity in the water is more than a hundred times stronger than in the air. The peach pit hanging from his neck seemed to move, and it was pricked heavily in his chest, which was really painful.
No wonder there are no creatures in the lake!
Man Jianghong rubbed his chest and stuffed the peach pit from his neckline. This is a token from the Ice Spirit, and it can't be lost.
The water is deep, and there is a vast darkness underneath.
Man Jianghong slowly sank and opened the eye of the sky, except for finding a glimmer of light on the top, he still couldn't see anything.
He was not in a hurry, and after sinking to more than ten meters, he finally caught a point of light.
Yes, there it is.
He dived over, and after more than two minutes, he came to a large hole with a diameter of more than three meters, grabbed the edge and corner of a stone to prevent the water from carrying it away, and looked over. I saw that the depth of the cave was only seven or eight meters, and the sea water was slowly flowing out, and the outside was bright and prosperous.
Yay, that's true!
What I am most afraid of is that the passage connecting the dark lake to the outside is tortuous and deep, and the water is turbulent. Once you lose your way in it, it will really make the heavens and the earth unspiritual, and suffocate people alive.
Good luck, good luck!
The passage is really in the sea water more than ten meters below the eagle's beak cliff, and the straight distance of seven or eight meters can be passed through in a few seconds, and there is no difficulty in escaping!
He was able to know this passage because in his dream, the two of them stood on top of the red clouds and rose to the sky, looking down at the bottom of the cliff in the ocean, and the situation in the dark and deep cave was clear, like looking at three-dimensional perspective.
In other words, in a dream, I saw a situation that I would not normally see, a situation that I could not know.
Dreams are the process of releasing inner conflicts, and they are the state of the surface of imagery. It is impossible for all the contents of dreams to surpass the sum of past experiences.
Then this "dream" should not be a dream!
It's a solid spiritual experience!
This can also be corroborated from another aspect.
Realistic experiences can be remembered, and dreams are always forgotten in a hurry. Because real experiences produce images and imprints, and dreams are nothing more than a combined reproduction of various imprints in the process of releasing internal forces. For example, experience is like a window flower, although the passage of time will make it fade, it will not disappear and will always be there, and the dream is like the projection of the window flower on the ground, and the environment will disappear without a trace, and it will not be traced. Dreaming is also like a static reaction, the image is like a yin and yang charge, and the internal force conflict is like an electric charge annihilation, and the dream is the faint and gorgeous spark of electrostatic. So after waking up from a dream, if you don't immediately revisit the memory to form a new imprint, it will be forgotten at an alarming rate.
Man Jianghong's first dream was vague, but Qionghua's call was like in his ears. The second dream is vivid, the green calyx is smiling, and the beautiful eyes are like in front of me.
This shows that at the level of thinking, he really entered an immaterial spiritual space and interacted with the two flower-like fairies.
This is how he thought of "Bright World", but such an experience may not be comparable in breadth, but far beyond in depth. Because "Bright World" needs to use technology to stimulate nerves and consciousness to simulate a spiritual world, and the "too illusory realm" itself is a spiritual world.
He had previously thought that if he deciphered the waveform of his brain, a god-level computer would be able to communicate directly with humans on a spiritual level. Any language and writing are all inaccurate tools, they are all floating clouds, and they are not needed at all. However, the "too illusory realm" goes straight to the soul, not only does it not need words, but even the waveform diagram has become a burden. The reason why I remember the conversations and scenes in my dreams is because my brain transforms information into something that can be understood. True communication is actually carried out at a higher level.
He also thought of the "divine sense" of the cultivators.
Qionghua and Green Calyx definitely have a very powerful divine sense, which can instantly make themselves enter a spiritual world, like a powerful hypnosis. And,My sober consciousness was suppressed.,Completely forget the past.,Only when I'm about to leave.,After swallowing the pill given by the green calyx.,A flash of inspiration occurred in my mind.,Suddenly remembered a lot of affairs.γAll kinds of scenes.,Looking at the characters in front of me It's not really real.,It's as if the world of the snowman under the scorching sun is rapidly dissolving and collapsing.γ
Moreover, as a martial arts master, even when he is settled, Ice Spirit will also have a warning sign of the influence of the outside world. But she didn't react to the stones she threw at first, and she didn't notice the inexplicable rain that followed. It shows that at that time, her consciousness was either controlled or cut off from communication with the outside world.
Why do two such powerful fairies need help?
It shows that they can't completely defeat the demon dragon at the spiritual level, and at the material level, they are very likely not to be the opponent of the demon dragon. With their self-admitted, they couldn't pull the sky-shaking bow, which could be seen from the cliff wall that was knocked down by the demon dragon.
The battle in the dream was a battle of the Divine Sense!
The rain in the dream is not over in the real world.
Everything shows that the demon dragon's physical body has just come here, and it is the Jiaolong that he and Bing Ling guessed, just ten minutes ago.
The Skyquake didn't kill it, where would it be?
Thinking about this section clearly, he felt a chill in his heart, quickly rose to the surface, took a long breath, and shouted:
"Ice Spirit, stay away from Lake Station. I found the passage, walked through it first, and came back in only two or three minutes. When you notice something is wrong, you run to the little hole that lets in through the light. β
He completely forgot that the other party was not just a young girl, but also a powerful martial arts master, and his combat power was more than one or two grades stronger than his own.
Once a man in the world is emotional, he will probably be like this, feeling that the other party is weak, and he can't wait to shield her from the wind and rain. Once he feels that the other party is very strong and does not need to worry about himself at all, it means that his heart has begun to wander.
Bing Ling was pleasantly surprised to see him pop up, and before he could say "be careful", he saw him dive down again. She stared blankly at the gently moving lake, wiped the rain off her face, and obediently retreated, her back against the cliff.
Seven or eight meters of passage, Man Jianghong took advantage of the water potential to pass through in just a few seconds.
Rising to the surface of the sea, the sun is in the sky.
He looked left and right, and found that it was indeed under the eagle's beak cliff. It's just that the house of the research institute is like an earthquake, there are broken rubbles everywhere, and the green smoke does not disperse, but there is no one in sight. The sea is calm, but there is not even a single shadow of the ship, which is strange.
Who won last night's battle?
Why is there no one in "Bright World" and Nanhai Sect? There is not even a single person who watches the excitement and picks up bargains, and there are no fishing boats.
Compared with the powerful, violent, and unpredictable Jiaolong, he felt that the faces of the Taoist priests of the South China Sea Sect were kind. The top priority was to let the ice spirit leave the black rumbling cave as soon as possible.
The warning in his heart became stronger and stronger, Man Jianghong couldn't take a break, and plunged back into the water.
Swimming against the current, it takes a little physical effort, but it is nothing to people who have been swimming in Dongting Lake for a long time. After he surfaced on the lake, he first called out to the "Ice Spirit", quickly identified the direction, and swam to the shore.
She ran over with joy, completely devoid of the reservedness of a girl, as if she had been waiting for 10,000 years.
He didn't have any extra nonsense, and told her to put her hands on her shoulders behind her, and tread water to swim to the opposite cliff.
She clasped his broad shoulders with both hands, her heart was shy, stable and warm, and she was even more amazed to see him treading water as if he were walking on the ground. But I don't know that for Jiangnan children who play in the water, this treading water is a common thing, and stepping on the water with both feet is like a bird fluttering its wings in the air. The little dragon in Dongting Lake, the highest level of treading water is to expose the navel, and he can also put a basket on his head.
There was no rain on this side of the cavern, but drops of cold water fell from the dome and sparsely smashed on the dead surface of the lake, and also on his slightly upturned face.
Suddenly, sadness struck, and I couldn't suppress it. Not out of nervousness, out of fear, but out of the head of a poem.
"I swam across the Dead Sea on a stormy night, just to see the phoenix flowers wither!"
This grief is sudden, rootless.
I remember that at that time, in the too illusory realm, seeing the moon like water, and the galaxy was far away, he said something similar to the green calyx.
Listen to the string song and know the elegant meaning, a leaf falls and the world is autumn. All the appearances in the world can find cause and effect, and all thoughts can find the root.
However, this place is full of dangers, not a time of sadness. He quickly adjusted his mood, and when he was only five or six meters away from the cliff, he solemnly said to Bing Ling:
"You take a deep breath, hold my chest tightly, and don't let go. The passage is right underneath, and it only takes a few seconds to get through, so don't panic. β
The girl hummed, and after a long breath, he counted one, two, three, and the two of them sank under the water together.
Seeing that he was about to go out, he was in a relaxed mood and carefully observed the situation at the bottom of the lake.
Strange how this lake could be so deep, like a bottomless abyss below.
In the darkness, how can there be two points of starlight?
Hey, the stars are moving!
After looking at it carefully, Man Jianghong's heart almost jumped out of his throat.
I saw two lights floating up and approaching, and its speed was amazing, and behind it there was a huge snake-like body writhing faintly.
The water at the bottom was stirred, darker than the surroundings, as if a dark cloud held up a dragon and burst out of the abyss.
The cold, ferocious, and brutal killing intent firmly locked the young man.
Man Jianghong clenched Bing Ling's wrist around his chest with one hand, his body struggled, his legs kicked violently, and he slashed with one hand. The turbulence of the water behind him made him rush out of the cave faster than the last time, and he swam forward for more than fifty meters before he began to float.
Bing Ling also felt that something was wrong, and when he surfaced, he only took a small breath, and immediately turned his head to look back.
Suddenly turning from darkness to light, her eyes did not adapt for a while, and she saw that the sky and the earth were black, and she saw the sea surging and rising, rippling like thick ink.
