Chapter 3: The False Sky City
To figure out the entrance and exit of the space between the castles, you need to try to explore again and again, this is not boring, but aroused the interest of everyone, time flies quickly, in a blink of an eye to find a place to rest for a long time, Huzi and Du Xiaoyue found a place to rest underneath, the sky is dark, the pale full moon has hung in the sky, but above the "kingdom of heaven", it is impossible to see the moon, can only see the stars that have not yet shown light and shadow in the world.
Kite and Wangxiang were the first to get tired, and sat on the top of a castle somewhere to rest for a while, and then Bell and Fang Tianmu also stopped, only Mu Ziyun was still full of energy, looking for spatial transformation points.
After an hour, everyone got together, except for the space mechanism that they were already familiar with, there were no other novel discoveries, which really made Huzi guess that this "heavenly kingdom" was no one. As for the source of its powerful oppressive force, everyone has never discovered it, and the reason why this "Heavenly Kingdom" is suspended in the air is probably because of special techniques, which also exist outside of everyone's cognition.
Soon after, the bell suddenly said, "This city is a fake city. ”
"It's abandoned." Mu Ziyun said.
"No, no," replied the bell, "there has been no one throughout, and it has been like this since it appeared." ”
"Why do you say that? Haven't you seen the strangeness of this continent in your memory? Isn't that proof that there are living beings? And these castles, if not man-made, are they natural? Mu Ziyun shook his head and said, "It should be an abandoned place, and it can't be counted as a city, because there are only a few castles." ”
Kite asked softly, "Bell, have you ever heard of such a 'kingdom of heaven' before?" Why is it called a fake city? ”
The bell paused for a long time before saying, "This is indeed a fake city, how can you explain it?" Just like if we want to build something, except for the final product, the items at all stages of the process are considered 'fakes', and this city is the result of the 'fakes' produced by living beings during the creation of the Sky City, which is the result of some confusion. ”
"What? Say the specifics. Mu Ziyun asked.
Bell explained: "You can find the position of space transformation, but you don't know that space and time are often linked, for example, if I move to the position where you stand, this is not that I walk over, or fly over, but instantly transfer there, and the middle is not a road, but a direct jump of space, then, now your position and your position in an hour are the same space point, can I transfer to your position in an hour later?" It's not impossible. ”
Mu Ziyun immediately interrupted: "In my opinion, the transformation of space is difficult, but time is even more difficult, you say this, it is completely based on the conclusion that a person can travel through space and time at the same time, if he has such an ability, of course he can do what you said." ”
"Actually, the technique of time and space is a bit similar, although I have not been in contact with it, but I know that they are very related to each other, because different points in time can be regarded as different space points, and traveling through time is actually shuttling through space. However, the technique of time is overly complicated on the basis of the technique of space, simply put, only by learning to shuttle through space, there is the possibility of shuttling through time, as for how to rise from space to the level of time, people throughout the ages have never known, and can only rely on 'luck' to achieve. ”
"It's the same as 'the kingdom of heaven.'
'Is there any connection?' Kite asked.
"Yes, when this castle was built, more than a dozen spatial transformation points, that is, spatial techniques, were applied according to the needs of living beings, but who can guarantee that all the techniques will not go wrong? Or maybe the two spatial techniques react with each other, and maybe they can also have a chaotic effect? ”
"Time travel?" Mu Ziyun guessed.
"Yes," Bell continued, "the time is at my house..... In the literature of my hometown, the god who belongs to the oldest and highest status, for hundreds of millions of years, no living creature has ever been able to penetrate it, and no one has ever had the ability to travel through time, although some of the events recorded in the literature have the suspiciousness of the living creature traveling through time, but they have not been confirmed, so no one knows what will happen after touching 'time'. ”
After a pause for a moment, the bell continued: "I know it's hard to believe, but when the space spell of these castles is cast, it inexplicably produces the effect of the time spell, but it is not complete, for example, at noon today, the space spell is chaotic under contact, and the time spell is produced, so that a city appears in the same position at noon tomorrow, but the body does not disappear because of the immaturity and incompleteness of the time technique, which is equivalent to its shadow shuttling through time and space to the location of tomorrow, then." When noon the next day comes, the same city will suddenly appear in the corresponding position. ”
"You mean...," Mu Ziyun said, "this city was created in time, the shadow of the Sky City?" ”
"Yes, the city I see in my memory should be the main body, inhabited by living beings, and this city is the shadow, the city of the false sky." Bell explained: "This city should be about to be built at the end of the time technique, the time technique, shuttled for at least a hundred years, and at that time, the original creatures have long moved to other places, yes, these suspended cities are moving at any time, so how many years later, the original location suddenly appeared a city, no one will notice, maybe the original group of creatures has long perished, and this city, is alone in the heaven and earth suspended, after the world reorganized, it was brought here." ”
"A question," Mu Ziyun stared at the bell and asked, "How can you be sure that this is a fake city, not the main body?" What if the creatures die? ”
"Have you found any bones of any creatures here? Or are there traces of their actions? ”
"No, but 10,000 years is enough time to wipe out all those things."
"Then you've been exploring for so long, have you noticed that there are some spatial transition points that you can only shuttle through, but you can never find your way back?"
"This?" Mu Ziyun lowered his head suspiciously.
"This is precisely because it has not yet been built perfectly, and the effect of the time technique is produced. ”
"Well, according to you, it hasn't been built yet, so what about the creatures at that time? Shouldn't you also be carried through time? Even if it's a shadow, it's a living thing, so at least you should leave something here, right? Mu Ziyun was puzzled, and then asked Fang Tianmu, "Did you find traces of living beings here?" ”
"No," Fang Tianmu replied coldly, he was not interested in the time and space technique that the bell said. But Wangxiang listened with interest, because he has the ability to travel through space (teleportation), although he can, but it is only used for death, and not through.
"Alas" the bell sighed and said: "Time is very terrible, no god can completely control it, or study it thoroughly, Fang just said, the time technique is completed on the basis of the space technique, so what form is the space technique, what form will the time technique follow, I said that the space transformation technique here and other structures are very old, that is because the form of their transformation space is very special, or old. Taking Wangxiang's teleportation as an example, he decomposed the space, causing it to crack, and then opened the exit in the same way in another space, Wangxiang's body only walked through a passage, but it was completed instantly. ”
"But it's different here, it's to decompose the shuttle thing, and then reorganize it in another space, during which there is no crack in the space, only the shuttle thing changes, this is a very ancient space technique, and many living beings have long since eliminated it. When the time technique is generated in this way, it will also decompose the shuttle object and then reassemble it at the next point in time, but how can the time technique, which is incomplete, perfectly reassemble the shuttle thing? The stones scattered in the soil are proof of the unsuccessful recombination. Only simple things can be reorganized and complete, after all, the shuttle is hundreds of years, thousands of years, but the process of shuttle only happens in an instant, the process of decomposition and reorganization is extremely fast, human beings or other creatures such a conscious, flesh-and-blood existence, it is difficult to be reorganized, will be scattered in the shuttle, and what remains is some stones, Ca grass and trees. “
"What about the original creature itself?" Kite asked, "Their shadows have been transported through time... Will it be affected? ”
The bell shook his head and replied: "Most of them are gone, or they suddenly lose part of their bodies, because they have to be disassembled when they shuttle, and they will be reassembled when they shuttle, but they are too complicated to be reassembled, and at least some of the things are all transported through time." ”
"I still don't understand," Mu Ziyun frowned and said, "Then is this a time crossing or not?" Why one here and another in the future? ”
"This is the defect of the ancient space transformation technique, it must be decomposed ontology, and the space transfer can be completed after reorganization, if it is the opening of the space rift in Wangxiang, then the whole city will shuttle to the next point in time, but if you want to decompose the shuttle thing, then it is equivalent to making a projection in the water, until this shadow is all complete, the shuttle thing can be completely transferred to the past. If the middle is broken, the shuttle will stop, but the present time and the future have some physical objects, because of some undiscoverable laws of heaven and earth, and at the same time they have the meaning of existence, just like copying, the current me and the two hours later, are meaningful, unless the current me completely disappears, in order to prove that there is only one me at these two points in time, in fact, there are two mes. Alas... When I first heard about this kind of thing, I was also puzzled, and I still don't understand it. ”
"Where did you hear that?" Mu Ziyun and Kite asked at the same time, everyone stared at the bell together, and they all felt that this girl was a little strange, very mysterious, yes, just like Fang Tianmu (Fang Tianmu didn't say his life experience), no one knew what the bell's life experience was.
Bell's face turned red, and he said hesitantly: "Listen to what the old man said, I will know about the past when I travel." ”
