Chapter 40: A Middle-Aged Man

... Empty and dark, endless abyss, Wang Jiang's eyes wandered in this space of consciousness with dull eyes. Who am I? Where is this? Why can't I see anything? ... All kinds of questions kept coming to his mind, but he couldn't concentrate on stopping and thinking no matter what, he just kept wandering around the space.

I don't know how long it took, a faint but very bright point of light flashed in the extremely dark space, Wang Jiang's sluggish expression finally improved at this moment, and he subconsciously accelerated his pace and walked towards the point of light. Go, go! I don't know how long he walked, the distance between him and the point of light seemed to have never been closer, close at hand but separated by thousands of mountains, Wang Jiang's sluggish expression gradually appeared a trace of clarity on the way to chase the point of light, he stopped and looked at the point of light in front of him, and for the first time shifted his gaze to look around, the darkness was extremely dark.

My name is Jiang Wang, why am I here? Already dead? This is the world after death? What is the point of light in front of you? With a curious mentality, he continued to walk towards a glimmer of light in the endless darkness, as if something was attracting him, the closer he got to his heartbeat, the more powerful the light became, this time the light seemed not far away, Wang Jiang finally came to the point of light, it floated in the air like this, emitting a faint light in the endless darkness!

Wang Jiang stretched out his hand to touch it, the point of light began to fluctuate violently, the point of light became larger and larger, and the light emitted became bigger and bigger, the endless darkness retreated under such a powerful light, and the entire space gradually regained its light!

The slightly dull eyes also completely brightened up at this moment, this is the Divine Soul Sea? I'm alive? No, I need to get out of here.

Wang Jiang, who had regained consciousness, was eager to withdraw from the Divine Soul Sea, but after several attempts, he failed.

"How so, why?" At this time, Wang Jiang fixed his eyes and saw that the faint point of light was still there, but under this light, it no longer seemed as dazzling as it was in the endless darkness. Under Wang Jiang's gaze, the point of light gradually turned into a figure, a figure exactly the same as Wang Jiang! It's just that his hair is black and white, and his face is much older, so the figure closes his eyes and sits there quietly.

Wang Jiang walked forward quickly, wanting to step forward to ask, but at this moment, a light rain fell over the middle-aged Wang Jiang who looked exactly like him, and the range was very small, Wang Jiang wanted to reach in, but he was blocked by those weak raindrops.

"What's going on? Who are you? Why does it look exactly like me, why does it appear in my sea of divine souls? Wang Jiang began to be frightened in his heart, the uncontrolled sea of divine souls, the sudden appearance of the figure, the inexplicable rain!

The rain kept hitting the middle-aged Wang Jiang's body, but there was no trace of wet dew. Under Wang Jiang's constant questioning, he finally opened his eyes, his cloudy eyes, accompanied by a rather old face, everything seemed so sad and painful! Everything around him seemed to be out of place with him, and even the rain didn't want to fall on him anymore.

"It's raining again!" Looking at the rain around him, he stretched out his hand to catch a little rain, but the rain avoided him at one time, "Alas! ”

The middle-aged Wang Jiang looked at the outstretched arm, and looked up at Wang Jiang outside, "I see, the time is also fate!" ”

Wang Jiang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was babbling nonsense, and was full of doubts, "Who are you?" Why in the sea of my souls? ”

Retracted his arms, sat down, and smiled disagreeably on his face: "Why do you always have these questions?" So who are you? ”

"Of course I'm me, I'm Wang Jiang!"

"You are you, and I am me! Why bother? I'm already in front of you, and there's no point in what you're asking. Why don't you change the question? Like what... Never mind! When the middle-aged man said this, he seemed to think of something, and the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.

Strange men, strange sights, strange words! These all made Wang Jiang timid, I don't know why, when his eyes looked at him, everything was nowhere to hide, although his eyes were cloudy, he could see through all the false appearances.

"I don't understand what you're saying, but I just want to know why you're here! Did you bring all this strange phenomenon? Wang Jiang stubbornly opened his mouth and continued to ask.

The smile on the middle-aged man's face slowly faded, and he turned his head to continue to look at the falling rain and said to himself, "How short a day is, a hundred years is just a snap of a finger." The vast sky is vast, and the world of ten thousand calamities is too long! Do you think we, immortal cultivators, are we too greedy? ”

Wang Jiang nodded his head in a daze, but said again, "This senior, I don't know what you want to do?" It's good to just say it, I have a low level of understanding, and I can't understand what you're saying. ”

Looking back at Wang Jiang, "It's nothing, I just want to see you." You've asked me so many questions, now it's my turn to ask you one. ”

What? You didn't answer any of the questions I asked, Wang Jiang finally nodded and agreed, "I don't know much, if I don't know your question, don't blame me." ”

"It's very simple, just answer whatever you want!"

The middle-aged man looked directly at Wang Jiang, took out a balance-like object, with two objects, one large and one small, on it, and said seriously, "How can I make the balance in front of me back into balance?" ”

Wang Jiang was a little puzzled, wouldn't this be?

"Of course, it's to reduce the weight on the other side or to increase the weight on the other side."

The middle-aged man was unmoved, "But there is no extra weight, and there is no way to increase it!" ”

Wang Jiang repeated again: "Then reduce the weight here!" ”

The middle-aged man glanced at him and subtracted the heavier side by half so that both sides were the same size. The balance initially rebalanced, but after a while the weight on the other side began to grow larger, and the balance tilted to the other side.

"What now?" The middle-aged man continued to ask

Wang Jiang became interested: "Then divide the extra part equally between the two parties." ”

The middle-aged man did the same again.

This time, the balance of the scales was maintained for a long time, and the middle-aged man did not speak, but looked at the scales silently.

A strange scene happened, and once again the two ends of the scales began to tilt, one gradually decreasing, and the other gradually increasing! It's slow, but it's visible to the naked eye.

Until it goes back to the way it was again.

"What's next?" The middle-aged man was not surprised, but continued to ask.

Wang Jiang was a little incredulous at first, "Then remove all the weights on both sides, so that there will be no more such a situation." ”

The middle-aged man glanced at the scales and continued to do so, removing all the weights on it.

There is no doubt that this time the balance has regained its balance again, and the middle-aged man does not look at the scale, but just says alone, "Is this the case again?" Does it have to be that way? He looked down at the two weights in his hand and shook his head constantly.

Wang Jiang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, a little overwhelmed, so he had to stand aside and wait quietly.

"Is this your choice?" The middle-aged man looked at the weight in his hand and asked with a slightly sluggish expression.

"If the question was how to bring the balance back into balance, now this is undoubtedly the case..."

"You don't have to beat around the bush, you just say yes or no."

"Yes" blurted out once, like a ghost.

The middle-aged man didn't know whether to laugh or fake, and put away the scales, "Okay, I understand." He got up and walked towards Wang Jiang, but this time the rain did not avoid him, but formed a barrier around him, and as he moved, the rain began to move. It's like a moving prison that doesn't allow him to take half a step out of the rain.

Wang Jiang stood in place, and the middle-aged man wanted to reach out several times, but was stopped by the rain, "That's it, so be it!" ”

The middle-aged man's figure began to retreat, and gradually disappeared, leaving a sentence that shocked Wang Jiang before leaving: "The speed of life is slow, once you choose, you have to take on all kinds of responsibilities!" ”

The rain disappeared, the sea of divine souls returned to calm, and he could feel that he could withdraw at any time, but the last words of the middle-aged man, he remembered that Wu Dao's predecessors had said before they dissipated, and only he knew where did he hear this person? Could it be that he is a senior of Wu Dao, but he doesn't look like it?

Wang Jiang couldn't come back to his senses a little, so it's over? What does that mean, and why is this series of weird things happening? Who the hell is that middle-aged man? Why did he appear in his own Divine Soul Sea?

Scratching his head, he stopped thinking about these questions, and withdrew from the sea of souls with a single thought.

...

Wang Jiang looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, wanted to get up, and found that his whole body was tightly wrapped, and turned his head to see Jin Qianbao lying on the side of the bed sleeping soundly, and Fei He was standing outside the door chatting with Shang Xuan.

Urging the spiritual power to break free from these bandages, he found that his cultivation had unknowingly broken through to the twelvefold consummation of condensation, and he was about to build a foundation. suppressed the shock in his heart, slowly untied the bandages on his body, and did not want to wake up the sleeping Jin Qianbao.

The fluctuation of spiritual power still attracted the attention of Fei He and Shang Xuan outside, and the two of them saw Wang Jiang miraculously wake up, and their faces inevitably showed a surprised expression. Just now he was still discussing Wang Jiang's next matter with Shangxuan Mansion Jun, but he didn't expect that he was seriously injured and comatose yesterday, and Shangxuan was not sure that he would be able to wake up, so he woke up intact the next day, which was really a bit unbelievable.

The footsteps of the two soon woke up Jin Qianbao on the side, and when he looked up, he saw Wang Jiang breaking free of the bandage, sitting there naked and shouting, and then hugged Wang Jiang's neck and laughed, but a few tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes.

Wang Jiang didn't struggle, he laughed out for a long time, it's good to live.

Jin Qianbao remembered something and ran quickly to the inner room.

Shangxuan and Fei He stood there like this, looking at Wang Jiang, who was naked, and even Fei He, who had always been serious, laughed.

"There's no need to hide it, I've seen everything I should see! That's it. Shang Xuan also quipped on the side.

Wang Jiang's cheeky skin turned red at this time, how could this be?

Jin Qianbao took out a set of clothes, three storage bags, and the magic weapon Panyan Juque from the inner room, "Look, I have already prepared your things for you!" I knew you were going to wake up soon. ”

Ahem, what's this called! With a red face, he put on his clothes under the gaze of the three of them, especially Shang Xuan, his eyes kept glancing at his place, and Wang Jiang's hair stood on end all over his body.

After Wang Jiang put on his clothes, Shang Xuan said something that almost made Wang Jiang want to find a crack in the ground to get into: "Yes, yes, it seems that my craftsmanship has not regressed, it is perfect!" She walked out on her own.

"Hehe, Jiang Lai, something big happened when you were asleep! You don't know that the Empty Hanging Mansion Monarch will retreat 700 meters with one move to retreat from the Shangcheng family. Beat him to flee frantically, if it weren't for Shangcheng Heping desperately coming back to rescue, he would have died at the hands of our Empty Hanging Mansion King! Isn't it exciting, just listening to it makes people excited! Jin Qianbao recounted on the side, what happened in the past two days, and his eyes were full of yearning for the foundation of reality.

Barry? Baili Fumihiko? It's the same surname as the previous Baili Nanku, did they also come in? Remembering the previous wanted, he changed his name and surname. Looking at Jin Qianbao's mixed feelings, if he knew that he had deceived him, what would he do to himself! Wang Jiang finally mustered up the courage, "Yuanbao, I'm sorry!" I deceived you! ”
