Chapter 57: Aladdin's Story
Zhang Lu stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, leisurely looking at the panoramic view of the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He wears a dark blue crewneck short-sleeved T-shirt, cream white slacks, no socks, and a pair of dark green beach shoes - a little weird, but definitely comfortable. The bun has long been cut off, and it has been shaved directly, and the beard on the chin that once caused trouble can finally be shaved clean, and a pair of color-changing flat glasses are set on the bridge of the nose.
Holding the tray in his left hand, he picked up the snow-white bone china cup with his right thumb and index finger, brought it to his nose, sniffed it slightly, and a slightly bitter fragrance came straight to his mind - ah, how many years have I not drunk coffee?
Zhang Lu took a sip of the coffee in the cup, closed his eyes slightly, and let the bitter and smooth taste slowly flow through his tongue and slowly slide down his esophagus. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the sun was leaping out from behind the opposite building, casting countless golden rays of light on him. The sun was dazzling, but it could not hinder Zhang Lu's vision, and in front of him were rows of high-rise buildings, winding overpasses, and all kinds of vehicles shuttling back and forth on the road......
- Well, there are still a little fewer residents, and there are not enough cars on the road. I can't help it, the time is too short, and I have to continue to work hard.
There was a crisp knock behind him.
"Come in. ”
At the same time, Zhang Lu also turned around with his coffee. The one who came in was his female secretary, with blond hair and blue eyes, and a proud figure, especially the navy blue professional suit, which perfectly outlined the soft curves of the whole body.
"What's the matter?"
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Pei is here. ”
Zhang Lu frowned slightly, and said in his heart that the guy didn't stay in his small hut, why did he run to him when he saw Tian'er?
Pei Xuanren is theoretically his own teacher, and he has also helped a lot in the process of creating this world of his own. But Zhang Lu really didn't want to see Tian'er and that group of ancient people...... Immortals deal with each other, and would rather face those modern-looking puppetmen who don't have enough in their own world—such as the female secretary in front of them.
He followed the female secretary out of the spacious bedroom, took the sightseeing elevator, and instantly descended from the hundred floors to the first floor. Pei Xuanren was still the same Luo Tuoxiang, he was sitting cross-legged on the sofa waiting for him, and when he heard the footsteps, he turned his head and put his hands together, as if he wanted to salute.
Zhang Lu took two steps forward and directly stretched out his right hand, but was slapped down by Pei Xuanren: "Come less, I'm not used to waiting for this kind of future etiquette." ”
As he spoke, he looked around with envy on his face: "Is this the future......? We are like the common people in the countryside. ”
Zhang Lu sat down opposite him, and although he habitually crossed Erlang's legs, he couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face: "Actually, I'm also a hillbilly, and my imagination is really poor...... Oh no, it should be said that knowledge is poor. ”
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary urban commoner, and he didn't pay much attention to food and clothing, and he didn't even pursue famous brands on his mobile phone except for computers, let alone dress up. Even the entire city, which he built brick by brick, absolutely conforms to architectural mechanics, but it is quite lacking in beauty and culture.
He felt like an explosive household, and even if he could dominate the Heavenly Realm, he would not be able to truly embody the demeanor of the pre-world world.
Now we can only hope that with the passage of time, will the earthly world step by step into an industrialized society and the information age according to the laws of the previous life?
But how can it take more than 1,000 years or nearly 2,000 years, if you really live in this city for 2,000 years, can you still bear to give it up at that time? No matter how unbearable it is, it will be your own hard work after all...... It's a pity that the other immortals don't need to grow at all when they dig a lake or build a thatched hut, and even if they build a city, whether it's Kunlun or Zifu, the growth rate of that kind of agricultural society is very limited. Modern cities are different, not to mention hundreds of thousands of years, just a few decades, if there is no qualitative leap, then what is the fun!
What is fake is fake, and the power of an immortal is nothing more, can I only play the box court game with this place for so long? It is better to explore the mysteries of the Gu Immortals and try to break through the realm and soar again......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and then he instantly sobered up. When I opened my eyes, there was darkness all around.
Was that an illusion? Or was it just a dream? I had seen Kunlun and Zifu on the tips of the wings of the fire phoenix, and I was thinking about how to build a "scorpion-one-one" residence in the future when I ascended to the heavenly realm, so I thought about it day and dreamed at night, right?
However, cultivators do not need a lot of sleep when they refine their minds and wash their marrows, and delusions do not arise, so logically speaking, they do not need a lot of sleep, and even if they do, they should not dream. Pei Xuanren once said: "If you have a dream, and the dream is absurd, I am afraid that it will be a warning of a fire, and you must not ignore it." ”
Could it be that he really went wrong in his practice and was about to go mad? Or was he pushed down by that hateful An Qisheng without saying hello and broke his head?
His eyes gradually became accustomed to the darkness around him, and the dim vision began to have an effect, Zhang Lu sat up, only to realize that he was in a wilderness. Looking up, there seemed to be a faint blue light projecting down, but the phantom shadows of the mountains that were originally vaguely seen were all gone. He got up and moved his limbs, and he didn't seem to have broken anything—how high was this abyss? Even if he was now forging his body like iron, if he really wanted to be a thousand feet, even if he didn't fall into a ball of flesh, he would definitely have his head cracked and his brain dripping to the ground.
I really couldn't see far in the dark, it was only one or two hundred meters, it seemed to be just an empty space, there was nothing here. Zhang Lu took a long breath, tried his best to concentrate his mind, and then closed his eyes slightly, releasing his divine sense. Regardless of whether there is light or not, the divine consciousness goes farther than the vision, so if a mortal cultivates the path of immortals, the physical body will have a qualitative leap, and all the original senses—including sight, hearing, smell, touch, and so on—can all be discarded, but it can be contemplated with one mind.
Of course, as far as Zhang Lu's current ability is concerned, the mind cannot completely replace the eyes, he can only detect whether there is an object within a certain range, the approximate size, whether it is moving, and as for the color and material, it is absolutely not enough to rely on the mind. In a sense, he is now like a bat that can emit and receive ultrasound waves.
It seemed that there was something in front of him, quite far away, even beyond the range of his senses. It stands to reason that the ultrasound can't reach Ben, and it is impossible to reflect back, but Zhang Lu has a vague feeling in his heart, and he feels that he should go in that direction.
So he lifted his leg and walked. His steps were not hasty, but they were so large that they could reach more than a foot in one step, as if the ground was moving backwards as he walked. So it's not like jumping, it's not like jumping, it's just a simple step - like this, it can be described as a fairy demeanor, if you really fly sideways like Superman, it's too much to fall.
However, the vaguely felt unknown object seemed to be in front of him all the time, and he didn't know if it was moving in the same direction as himself, so he took hundreds of steps in a row—that was several miles, and his consciousness still couldn't really touch it. Zhang Lu couldn't help but stop gloomily - are you kidding me? Where are the so-called Nuwa ruins? Also, even if I can really explore the ruins, how can I go back when I am done?
No wonder even the immortals can't explore this ruin. Immortals can fly into the sky, they can pass through walls, and no matter how strong the lock is, they can fall with one finger, but the wall in front of the problem can retreat by itself, even if you have the magic power of splashing the sky, you can't get close at all, how can you get in?
Forget it, I'll go back to the place where I woke up just now, shout up twice, and see if An Jisheng can hear me, and if you want to take me out.
But when he turned around, he had only taken a few steps before his consciousness sensed that the object in the distance seemed to be approaching—the thing always seemed to be at the same distance as himself, always staying not far from the outer circle within his reach. Zhang Lu was stunned in his heart, and then clapped his hands and laughed: "If you want to escape, run away, follow if you want, if I chase you, I will be stupid!"
Seeing that he was about to return to the starting place, Zhang Lu suddenly found that there seemed to be a person standing in front of him. This figure is very visible, and he can't see his appearance clearly, but in his own consciousness, why does he not feel it? Is it just a phantom? Looking at this phantom, he is also of ordinary stature, wearing a dusty dress, so the whole person is almost hidden in the darkness, except for the shining one...... That's a bald head, right?
The monk has appeared again! Why are you everywhere?
I saw that the monk made a gesture, as if he wanted Zhang Lu to turn back. Zhang Lu ignored him and hit him straight. But as he walked forward, the monk stepped back, his clothes unmoving, as if the ghost had no feet, and the whole thing seemed to be sliding backwards. After chasing a ride, Zhang Lu was a little impatient, and said in his heart that you told me to turn my head, then I will try to turn around, what can I do?
As soon as he turned his head, he felt that the object in the distance in his consciousness was rapidly approaching him, as if he was in a hurry...... His feet were weak, and he couldn't stop the car. Soon the thing entered its own consciousness as if it were a huge stone.
As soon as the stone entered Zhang Lu's divine consciousness, it stood still. Zhang Lu turned his head back, and the monk had long since disappeared. Turning and stepping again, the stone remained still, and finally, the stone entered his dim vision.
The shape of the stone is very strange, very irregular, about one person is more than one person high, three or four people can't hug it in the thick place, and the thin place is just a few - what kind of weird modern art is this?
Walking to the edge of the stone, Zhang Lu was bold and slowly stretched out his hand, and unexpectedly, the surface of the stone was very smooth. Because the light was dim, it was not clear to his eyes, could it be a crystal or glass?, his fingers continued to run gently over the surface of the stone, and suddenly, several broken consciousnesses rushed to his mind—
He seemed to see a god, the upper body of a human being, the lower body of a snake—could this be Gu Xiannuwa? But he had no hair, and he couldn't tell whether his appearance was male or female. The deity seemed to hover over the earth, occasionally facing the sky with its arms outstretched. A huge whirlpool appeared in the air, and I don't know if it was caused by the gods' spell, and then I saw a huge meteorite falling from the sky with flames......
Zhang Lu couldn't help but think of the trick that Liu Lei had seen in the illusion world, Liu Lei and Zhang Jian...... However, when it comes to the size of the meteorite and the enormous momentum it carries, it is much worse than the image reflected in this shattered consciousness.
This is the end of the picture, and it is not clear whether the meteorite has landed. Immediately the next picture appeared, Zhang Lu saw many huge, strange creatures, running wildly on the ground, as if they were running away from something......
Aren't I a dinosaur?!There are also dinosaurs in the world of cultivating immortals? Instead of the two snake-bodied things in Liu Lei's Imperial Dragon Pool?
The next few videos are all dinosaurs of all kinds, all running around like crazy. Each video was only a second or two, and Zhang Lu was still stunned, and they all fell silent. At the same time, he felt his outstretched palm suddenly heat up.
Focusing on the visuals, I saw that the huge stone suddenly collapsed inward, and in an instant it shrank to the size of a fist. And the small stone began to glow, although the light was still dim, but it was enough for Zhang Lu to see its shape and its color clearly.
It was a colorful stone, no, more specifically, like five stones of different colors and irregular stones glued together. The five colors are: black, white, red, green, and yellow, all of which are not pure colors, and they are different shades, which is quite mixed.
His first reaction: This is the five-color stone that Nuwa mends the sky?
Holding the stone in his hand, almost at the same time, Zhang Lu felt that his body suddenly floated. Looking down, the divine consciousness is released, and it seems that this is the place where he fell and lay down just now, and there is no deviation in the slightest. His body gradually floated upwards, faster and faster, and he realized that he was standing on the stone slab in mid-air again.
What does this mean? Is this considered the completion of the exploration of the ruins? I got the treasure of the "Five-Colored Stone", so the ruins directly popped themselves out? Zhang Lu was full of doubts, and said forget it, let's go back to An Qisheng and ask. Although the other party has never set foot in the ruins here, he must have seen other Gu Immortal ruins, so there should be clues inside.
Turning around and drilling through the stone gate, the stone gate closed behind him, still returning to a flat stone wall. Seeing An Qisheng facing himself, meditating cross-legged, probably sensing that he had come out, he slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and asked, "You have to return, can you get something?"
Zhang Lu raised his right hand and showed the stone in his hand.
An Qisheng's eyes flashed, and he immediately stretched out his hand to ask: "With me!"
Zhang Lu shrank his hand back, and said in his heart that I got it with hard work (do you have it?), why should I give it to you-"Shi Keke, what is this?" I was going to listen to An Qisheng's explanation or guess a few words first, but who thought that the immortal repeated again: "With me!" As soon as he raised his foot, he instantly came to Zhang Lu, one hand stuck his neck, and the other hand came to grab the five-colored stone.
Ah, no, Zhang Luxin said that I have a feeling that I have been deceived? I'm not Aladdin, is the other party actually an evil mage?!
