Parallel time, or parallel time and space.

This is one of the theories in the physical sciences that has not yet been proven.

Based on this theory, the scientific community speculates that:

At the end of one world there may be another, identical world.

Two worlds, time is opposite.

However, this is the field of theoretical research in the era of industrial civilization 100,000 years ago, an unknown level.

Before Chen Xiaoyu's crossing, this theory was often used in science fiction movies.

However, now it is very likely that Chen Xiaoyu has really encountered it!

Su Baoqin turned around slowly, with confusion in her eyes, she didn't understand what Chen Xiaoyu meant.

Time.

In this age of spiritual practice, how could there be any secrets for an existence that was only used to keep time.

Su Baoqin blinked, she had recovered her memories before entering the illusion, but now she felt that Chen Xiaoyu had fallen into another illusion.

Su Baoqin said tentatively: "Chen Xiaoyu? ”

"Huh?" Chen Xiaoyu retracted his gaze at the shadow of the tree, turned to Su Baoqin, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

As soon as he blurted out, Chen Xiaoyu didn't mean it, and the two of them were in a state of uncertainty all of a sudden.

Su Baoqin blinked.

Chen Xiaoyu also blinked.

The young man was the first to speak: "I said, or did Sister Su say?" ”

Su Baoqin didn't have anything to say, she waved her hand, the meaning was clear, this was for Chen Xiaoyu to say.

"Hmm......" Chen Xiaoyu held his chin in one hand, slowly walked to the position where the shadow of the tree was just now, his eyes narrowed into a thin slit, and he raised his head to greet Su Baoqin, "Look here, Sister Su, this tree...... The location here. ”

Su Baoqin didn't know what to do, but she still followed.

Chen Xiaoyu squatted down, reached out to the position where the shadow of the tree and the boulder met, and asked, "Sister Su, have you noticed this?" ”

Su Baoqin shook her head.

Normal people would not notice the position pointed by Su Baoqin.

The reason is simple.

It's a mediocre location, like if you're walking down the road and never notice a mediocre passerby.

Chen Xiaoyu sighed.

Suddenly, he found that after Su Baoqin glanced at the location he was pointing, his gaze naturally moved to another direction.

In that position, Su Baoqin's eyes changed.

Chen Xiaoyu seemed to understand something, and asked, "What did Sister Su see?" ”

He followed Su Baoqin's gaze and saw at a glance that there was an old tree and old roots that had been cut down at the original entrance of the northern forest.

Why are they old trees?

In fact, there are no annual rings on the roots, but there are residual bark, whether you look at it or touch it with your hands, you can feel its vicissitudes and withered age.

However, the reason why Su Baoqin felt strange was because there was no annual ring on the root of this vicissitudes of life!

This is very strange! The normal tree rings are once a year, so they are called annual rings. In the meantime, even if there is an occasional abnormality, there will not be a single one.

What did Su Baoqin gradually realize?

She was just about to speak.

At this time, Chen Xiaoyu also wanted to say something.

The two looked at each other again.

This time, Chen Xiaoyu took the lead in saying: "Sister Su, you can say it first." ”

Su Baoqin nodded and said quickly: "It is impossible for a tree to have no growth rings, otherwise it means that this tree has not grown in the outside world for more than a year." ”

"What do you mean?" Chen Xiaoyu asked.

"Oh, it's this tree...... It is a tree of the Black Mist Forest, not a tree of the outside world. ”

Shu Su Baoqin walked to the root of the old tree, stretched out his fingers and gently wiped the place where the tree plate should have annual rings, and then stood up and said to Chen Xiaoyu: "This position is very smooth......

“…… But the whole thing looks very old, do you know why? ”

"Why?" Chen Xiaoyu was led away by Su Baoqin, and he didn't know what the girl wanted to express.

Su Baoqin continued: "There used to be an ancient legend in the Kyushu Continent, which said that the continent we live in came from the handiwork of a god of creation. ”

"This creator god was not very serious when he created this world, so it led to many strange situations."

"For example, there is a rumor that there is a black mist forest in Shencang Prefecture on the Kyushu continent, which was also called the Holy Land of the Northern Territory by the world."

"This holy place is isolated from the world, inside the holy place, time stands still, outside the holy place, time flows; If time flows away inside the Holy Land, then outside the Holy Land, time stands still. ”

The girl's words were like telling a story, the story was very long, and Chen Xiaoyu listened to it unexpectedly seriously.

He seemed to understand that when things were mixed up, the meaning expressed was no different from the concept of parallel time.

Realizing that there was indeed a paradox of time beyond the northern forest, Chen Xiaoyu reacted quickly and said, "Sister Su's legend, who did you hear about it?" ”

Su Baoqin frowned, and wanted to say, "It seems to be my senior brother." ”

Su Baoqin's senior brother is the current sword master of Shencang Sword Mountain, and he has a lot of money.

It is also the master of the sword Venerable Cheng Yikang.

Tracing the origin of this legend, Chen Xiaoyu thought that the person who told this legend must know some secrets about the Black Mist Forest.

He then said, "Let's go back, how about we go to Sword Mountain once?" ”

"Are you sure?" Su Baoqin blinked, "Didn't you say that you would never return to Shencang Sword Mountain again?" ”

"Huh? Did I say that? Chen Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly.

"Hmm...... "Young Man snorted, "Maybe it's like the legend that Sister Su said, I may not be the same as the outside." The one who said that was another me. ”

Laughing, Su Baoqin had summoned the red sword.

Edgeworth Flight!

Chen Xiaoyu knows

In fact, Su Baoqin wanted to take him back to Jianshan.

It's just that Su Baoqin is not completely sure what to say and do when he sees the sword master of Jianshan, and what kind of things he will encounter.

The girl leaped up and landed on the sword.

He turned his head to look at Chen Xiaoyu, his eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "If you are not afraid of accidents, of course I can take you back to Sword Mountain, but." ”

“…… But I don't want anything to happen to you, so I have another way to protect you. ”

Su Baoqin paused for a moment.

Chen Xiaoyu did not react.

So the girl turned her head to look south.

"Can't you go?"

The voice was visibly cold.

Chen Xiaoyu jumped up, stood behind Su Baoqin and said, "Let's go." ”

The young man was still thinking about the connection between the annual rings and parallel time just now, and he didn't hear Su Baoqin's preface, only the afterword.

But Su Baoqin didn't know.

The girl's memory is still immersed in the scene where Chen Xiaoyu took her hand and walked out of the so-called phantom state of mind.

Not sure why.

She always felt warm in her heart.

This is the first time in Su Baoqin's nearly 200 years of life that she has felt this way.
