"One hundred steps forward, the distance will not be shortened. What is distance? It's just the relative length between the two, one step or a hundred steps, it's a number. In thaumaturgy, numbers can be added or subtracted at will, without affecting the essence of things. She said.

These words are easy to understand, the number is the appearance, the distance is the substance. If we can hold it together with our hand, then what difference does it make if the distance is one foot, one hundred feet, ten thousand feet? It's just a different way of writing the numbers one, hundred, and ten thousand.

"The end of the world is close at hand, the end of the world is close at hand" is the most concise explanation of these words.

"That's right. I nodded.

"Why such a miracle as Ground Stealing?" she asked again.

I thought for a moment and replied slowly: "Normally, as long as you move forward, whether it's walking, biking, car, train, boat, plane, or any other available mode of transportation, you can get there. In another scenario, if the two points can only be reached by extraordinary means, none of the above modes of transportation can be developed, and some kind of thaumaturgy must be borrowed. I guess that it was because of this that the ancestors of your ancestors invented the submersible technique. ”

The origins of ancient thaumaturgy are very complex, and only a small part of it has left a statement to allow future generations to understand the original intention of the founder. A larger part of the inheritors of thaumaturgy know but do not know why, and only know how to use it, but they do not know what thrilling stories have happened in the origin of this thaumaturgy.

History is inherently incomplete, like a hole in an old garment, no matter how it is repaired, the hole will exist forever, and any patch is only a futile cover-up.

"What you're talking about is all nonsense. She said lightly.

My face flushed, but I had to admit that her words were ugly, but they were the truth.

"I'm sorry senior, but I'd like to hear advice. I said respectfully.

"Although it is nonsense, it is already a hundred times stronger than the children of the Tujia family. She added.

I don't want to defend myself, and even if I'm a hundred times stronger than the Tujia people, I don't have anything to be proud of. In the realm of thaumaturgy, one step behind, fifty steps behind, and one hundred steps short are all the same word "poor", and there is no essential difference.

"Simeiren. "Grandma Land said three words.

"Good jade is flawed, and its quality is not hidden. I answered immediately.

Throughout the life of Tuxingsun, it was made in "color" and destroyed in "color".

With a knife on the head of the word color, the lustful usually does not end well, which is almost a historical convention.

I defended the ancestors of the Tu clan, and the eyes of the land grandmother gradually became tender.

So, I think about the three words "Si Meiren" that Grandma Di said, which must mean that Tu Xing Sun created a submersible technique because he missed the beauty and could not see him, so that he could avoid all obstacles and successfully reach any place he wanted to go.

"I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it. Grandma Land continued with the word "Si Meiren" just now.

I suddenly realized that only an incomparably strong desire can stimulate the potential of a thaumaturgist's heart, break through the limits, and create a miracle that has never been seen before or since.

In my case, only the irrepressible and uncontrollable passion and desire in my heart can I have an instant epiphany about the essence of the submersible technique.

I thought hard, and I felt that the layer of window paper of the epiphany was right in front of me, and as long as I had a small opportunity, I could pierce it and reach another realm.

"Buzz", I heard the sound of insects flapping their wings.

Following the prestige, a ladybug covered in black spots was clumsily, flapping its wings from the corner of the stone bench to the flower stand.

The stone bench is only one and a half feet high, and the trellis is slightly higher, but not more than three feet.

It could only take a small step to fly with all its might, and compared to the light flight of a butterfly or a bird, it was extremely stupid and ugly.

My eyes followed it, and I watched it land with difficulty on a dead vine on the side of the trellis, and I couldn't wait to retract my wings, and with my hooked paws, I tried to grasp the withered vine and attach itself to it.

The life and death of a ladybug cannot affect the human world, but it still strives to live, constantly pursuing, climbing to high places until it dies.

On the other hand, although I can't explain the origin of the subterranean technique, if I can face up to the gap with the ancient gods, and continue to pursue it, wouldn't it be a positive life?

Just like now, in front of Grandma Land, I am both a junior and a student, and there is nothing worth blushing about. What's more, I have realized that as long as I find the deepest desires hidden in my heart, I can break through the barriers of thaumaturgy.

"Why did I find the Mirror Room? In order to save Tang Wan? In order to uncover the secrets of the Mirror Room, in order to become the number one thaumaturgist in the world? In order to finally eliminate the Japanese big man......" The deeper I thought about it, the more complicated and chaotic the past became, and all kinds of thoughts came flooding back.

In other words, I have many desires and goals, but none of them can be called "unique, strong, and necessary."

"Your heart is upset. Grandma Land said.

There was a strange tacit understanding between us, as if we were able to read each other's feelings.

"yes, my heart is upset. I nodded in acknowledgement.

"Why don't you break off, give up, or leave?" she asked.

I hesitated, because all desires seemed to be dissolved, and they seemed to be unbreakable, unwilling, and unwilling to leave.

"Well, you're going to miss it. Grandma Land sighed.

"I need a little time. "I argue.

In thaumaturgy, there are many ways to calm down instantly, but I only want to use the most direct means at the moment.

I bit the tip of my tongue and closed my eyes.

"Tang Wan, I will definitely be able to comprehend the full essence of the submersible technique, find the mirror room, and rescue you back. "I swear to the void.

When I bit the tip of my tongue heavily, the bloody breath instantly filled my mouth, and all the chaos in my mind disappeared with me.

"It turned out that I had always wanted to get back to the mirror room, but I never figured out what I really wanted to do. "I was in a state of panic.

"Only the strongest desire can give rise to the most powerful motivation to do the unimaginable. Look at this ladybug, desperately trying to get up for the sake of a drop of dew on the top of the branch—" Grandma Earth pointed to the top of the trellis.

Deep in the green leaves, a small orchid flower is waiting to be released, and in the middle of the stamen hangs a drop of transparent dew, about the size of a grain of rice.

We stand here, just stand on tiptoe, stretch out our arms, and we can pick that flower, bow our heads and suck the dew. The trivial things that are easy for human beings are out of reach when they are placed on that ladybug.

"Guess it's going to get that dew?" asked Grandma Land.

I looked at the branches and vines, and made sure that if it had climbed a meter or so, it would be able to cling to a series of oval leaves, reach directly above the little flower, and then slowly slide down to drink the dew. It's just that human beings can choose a passage in the complex process of overlooking, looking up, seeing, and thinking, while ladybugs have long been lost in the green leaves, and it is impossible to see all this concisely and clearly. As a result, a distance of one meter is equivalent to thousands of miles, becoming a paradise that it cannot reach in its eternal life. What's more, the condensation, saturation, and dripping of the flower dew are also time-limited, and it is impossible to wait there forever.

The most regrettable thing is that it has gone through a lot of hardships to reach its destination, the dew has dropped, the petals have withered, and all the expected beautiful scenes have been reduced to ruins.

"You haven't answered me yet?" asked Grandma Land.

"It's not a simple question, it's a myriad of puzzles. I said.

"No matter how many variables there are, don't there have to be a result?" she asked again.

I felt extremely bitter in my heart, and from the body of this little ladybug, it seemed to glimpse all kinds of unsatisfactory big and small things in the world.

Some things can be done perfectly, leaving no regrets. Or, even if there are regrets, you can do your best to make up for them and seek an unsatisfactory but acceptable result.

Some things are like sinking into the sea and sunset, and all hope is lost.

"I don't know, getting it or not getting it is its creation. I replied.

After being silent for a long time, Grandma Land sighed: "You are too pessimistic to learn submersible techniques." If all people lose their desires, the progress of the world will cease. ”

I am indeed very pessimistic, the road ahead is too long, there are thousands of things to do, and my position in the thaumaturgical world is like that ladybug, separated from the high position of the "king of thaumaturgy" by an extremely long distance, I don't know how many adventures, ascensions, and epiphanyes I have to go through before I can get close to the goal.

Even said, even if Grandma Land taught me the art of diving, the earth is vast and unfathomable, who dares to guarantee that I will be able to find the mirror room smoothly?

"That's right, I'm not cut out to learn submersibles. "I frankly admit it.

Grandma Tu nodded: "Your child is also open-hearted, and he is a talent that can be created, a hundred times stronger than the children and grandchildren of my Tu clan." ”

Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of Japanese military trumpets in the distance.

Grandma Land was unmoved, but I was taken aback in my heart.

Zhang Quanzhong is good at calculation, and the occupying army is not a layman who does not know thaumaturgy. Compared with the two countries, the occupying forces have a well-armed and heavy army, and they have the absolute upper hand. Once Zhang Quanzhong's idea was seen through by the other party, the Hongmen banquet immediately turned into a tragedy.

I realized that the occupying forces were blowing the trumpet and mobilizing their troops, and that some kind of operation was about to take place.

"Young man, can you really do it in your heart without desires?" asked Grandma Land again.

The sound of the trumpet stopped, and in the southwest direction, fell into a dead silence.

I suspect that the occupying forces are moving silently, spreading a huge encirclement in an attempt to enclose the entire area of Daming Lake in a net.

At this time to retreat, there is still a glimmer of life. When the encirclement was closed, none of us could escape.

At this moment, I am not worried about my life, but sigh for the imminent death of such a large number of thaumaturgical masters in Jinan City.

"I can't do it, no one can do it, sometimes I just have to follow the guidance of my heart. I replied.

"I can see that you are anxious at this time. Grandma Land said.

At some point, cold sweat oozed from my forehead and palms, and my feet were unconsciously pacing around, unable to control my anxiety.

"We've got to get out of here. I said.

Grandma Land reached out sharply and pinched the ladybug between her thumb and forefinger accurately.

I looked at her coldly, knowing what was going to happen next.

"If you can't ask for it, it's better to die of this heart. Grandma Land muttered.

"Senior, you are not the creator and have no right to tamper with the fate of any living being. "I tried to stop her.

"Under the nest, there are eggs?inside and outside the lake, everyone is going to die, what's the use of leaving a little ladybug?" Grandma Land's fingertips exerted force, and the ladybug's body was gradually pinched flat, and then crushed into pieces.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the dew on the blue flowers swayed and dripped down, scattering among the green leaves.

"You see, if I don't kill it, it will only make it more painful, and in the end, it will fail, and I will watch the dew fall. Grandma Land said.
