It was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.

Lin Lan was in the dark, waiting quietly, and releasing his tranquility.

After entering the stone gate, he could feel a wave sweeping through his body, and at this time, under Qing Jingyi's perception, he faintly sensed that the wave seemed to have a vast and almost boundless power.

Immediately, in the darkness, a man's voice with a slight chuckle suddenly sounded:

"Finally, there's another Sky Thief."

This is...... The voice of the spirit of the formation?

Lin Lan was silent for a moment and said, "Before me, there were still Sky Thieves?" ”

"In eight hundred years, you are the third Heaven Thief to enter the Tian Yuan Vault." The Spirit of the Formation chuckled: "After all, the Heaven Thief is born with spiritual light, and he will be inspired by some kind of inspiration, and the possibility of choosing to worship the Chonghua Academy Palace is indeed relatively large. ”

"Who are the first two?" Lin Lan asked.

The spirit of the formation said: "Xue Gong Shu Xue Zheng 'Yan Baixue', and the Renzong Wu Pavilion Book Collection Order 'Zhao Qi'. ”

"Xuezheng? Book collection order? Lin Lan raised his eyebrows slightly.

If you have refined your supernatural powers and made small achievements, you can worship the human sect and become a young assistant of the Secret Pavilion, which is the realm of the teachings of the Academy.

And the supernatural power transforms into the realm again, after the supernatural power is completed, the Tao line increases greatly, and it can become the secret pavilion book collection order, that is, the realm of learning in the palace.

"Heaven thief, born with aura, the qualification is actually just to become a scholar?" Lin Lan asked.

The spirit of the formation chuckled: "Heaven thieves are of course extremely rare, there can only be one sky thief in the sky and on the ground, there is only one in each era, but there is also a sorrow in the sky thief, once the destiny of heaven becomes a fixed number, and the death comes, then it will definitely die, and it has nothing to do with cultivation." ”

"That Yan Baixue just entered the Academy Palace for only two years, and died of the Mandate of Heaven." The Array Spirit said, "I'm sure you should understand this. ”

"I know." Lin Lan said calmly.

He's already had an endgame, so he's well aware of that.

"Your talent is much higher than the two Sky Thieves before you." The spirit of the formation said: "You have only been practicing for a few months to have such an achievement, it is indeed rare, and the divine power in your body is also extremely ingenious, although it is a little complicated, but it is more exquisite than the divine power that Tang Tianyuan originally created, can you tell me what kind of divine power it is?" ”

"All laws are one." Lin Lan said slowly: "It was created by my master. ”

The spirit of the formation sighed: "The cultivators of the Human Sect have seized the heavens and the earth to create, refining the heaven and earth in their own bodies, and their cognition of the mysteries of heaven and earth has always been inferior to the Taoist Sect. ”

Lin Lan was slightly stunned and said, "I don't know. ”

He suddenly discovered that the wisdom and emotions of this formation spirit were too similar to that of a real human being.

"It's a pity."

The Spirit of the Formation sighed lightly, and then said, "I haven't seen the Sky Thief for a long time, so let's talk a little more and get down to business...... Although Tang Tianyuan is not a Heaven Thief, he treats the Heaven Thief extremely favorably, with your talent, you can also choose one of the best treasures at will, although it will not help you much in your cultivation, but it is indeed the most precious in this secret vault. ”

In the dark, Lin Lan couldn't help frowning slightly.

Spiritual help?

What's the point of him asking for this?

Lin Lan took a deep breath and asked, "I don't need these, do you know anything beyond the sky?" ”

His voice echoed clearly in the darkness, and the Spirit of the Formation ...... But there was silence.

After a while, the spirit of the formation spoke again: "Do you know anything beyond the sky? ”

"Of course I do." Lin Lan said.

"Have you ever learned the Heaven Thief method?" The Spirit of the Formation asked.

"You know?"

Lin Lan asked rhetorically, and then said, "I naturally have learned, otherwise, no matter how talented I am, how can I cultivate so quickly when the six divine powers are cultivated at the same time?" ”

The spirit of the formation was silent for a moment, and then said: "It is worthy of being praised by Tang Tianyuan as the number one method in the world, the Heaven Thief Method, you have been in the beginner for so long, I have not even detected the special features of your method at all, it is really wonderful......"

After a while, the array spirit sighed and said, "You should have learned the Heaven Stealer method in Tianyuan Beppu, right?" ”

Lin Lan bowed his head and said, "That's true." ”

"He really built Tengen Beppu there......" The array spirit sighed and asked softly, "Can you tell me who created this Heaven Stealer Method?" ”

Lin Lan said: "I don't know very well, but on the stone wall of Tengen Beppu, the person who left the Heaven Thief Method is 'Josie', and according to Na Josie, this method was taught by his master. ”

Joe ...... West? Josey? The array spirit repeated the name, and his voice trembled slightly.

Lin Lan is a little strange, is there anything special about this name?

He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with this name?" ”

After a moment, the Spirit of the Formation said slowly: "I'm not sure, and I don't dare to say it, otherwise as long as I mention him, it will attract his attention." ”

Lin Lan was slightly stunned.

"You'd better not know."

The spirit of the formation warned softly, and then said: "Since you know the things outside the sky, and you also know the method of the Heaven Thief, I should have believed you, and according to what Tang Tianyuan said, I left that thing outside the sky to you, but I can't detect the special features of your exercises, and I can't be completely convinced, so I ...... I'm going to ask you a few more questions to determine whether it's true or not. ”

"Just ask." Lin Lan bowed slightly.

The Spirit of the Formation immediately said, "Do you know this line?" ”

The next moment, a line of small characters condensed by a surging shimmer suddenly floated in the darkness, floating in front of Lin Lan's eyes.

Lin Lan glanced at it, felt a little strange in his heart, and said, "I know." ”

"Read it out." The Spirit of the Formation said.

Why is this first generation of national teachers so vulgar...... Lin Lan was silent for a moment, but still said, "The odd change is the same. ”

The spirit of the formation said, "What about the next sentence? ”

"Symbols look at quadrant ......"

"Sure enough...... Hmm, Tang Tianyuan asked me to tell you that I finally found you, comrade. ”

The spirit of the formation suddenly said in an excited tone, as if he was about to come up and shake hands in the next moment, obviously in imitation, and then returned to normal, and said, "It seems that you also think that you are a traverser." ”

Lin Lan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Think you're a traverser?" What do you mean? ”

"I don't know, but Tang Tianyuan said a word."

The Spirit of the Formation repeated: "In this closed world, whether it is in the heavens or outside the sky, there can be no traversers, and all those who think they are traversers are just waking up from a dream. ”

"Wake up?" Lin Lan became more and more confused.

"I don't understand either." The spirit of the formation said: "The thing outside the sky will be handed over to you, it just so happens that I also want to know what this thing outside the sky is, can you open it now?" ”

The next moment, a light suddenly slowly lit up in the darkness, and I saw a three-foot-square wooden box floating under the light and landed in front of Lin Lan.

"This is the extraterrestrial thing that Tang Tianyuan left behind."

The spirit of the formation said, "I can't open it either, I don't know what's inside." ”

Lin Lan squinted his eyes, looked at the box, reached out to take the wooden box, and put it on his lap.

The next moment, handwriting emerged from the lid of the box.

It is a message written in Chinese Simplified Chinese.

[Before opening the box, no one knows whether the cat in it is alive or dead, just like the innate supernatural powers of the Sky Thief, before the observation, no one knows what will happen in the future, but once the Sky Thief observes, the future of countless possibilities will collapse into one in an instant, and the ending will eventually go to the only one that cannot be changed]

Looking at these words, Lin Lan Tongkong suddenly shrank, and his heart was surging.

After the observation, the future of countless possibilities collapsed into one in an instant?

He has long had a guess about his ability to 'foresee the endgame', and he has consulted many high-level intellectuals in related fields in his previous life, so he naturally has had this kind of speculation for a long time.

It stands to reason that time is only a manifestation of the change in the movement of matter, and the future should not be certain.

But the endgame he saw never changed.

So, someone has long mentioned the famous quantum mechanics thought experiment, Schrödinger's cat.

The future is not certain, it is only because of his observations that it becomes the only one.

Everything he does after observing the future, no matter what he does, is only a part of the future, so it will inevitably come to an end.

That's what it is...... Sky Thief?

"Observation ......"

Lin Lan muttered.

"What's wrong?" The Spirit of the Formation wondered, "Why don't you open it?" Is there a message from Tang Tianyuan on the box? ”

Lin Lan was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and then said, "I'll open it now." ”

Immediately, he slowly lifted the lid of the wooden box.

After the lid of the box was opened, Lin Lan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Because......

Inside the box was a black cat with its eyes closed.

This...... Is it something out of the sky?

Lin Lan was stunned.

Is it really Schrödinger's cat?

At first, he thought that something extraterrestrial might be something from the earth in his previous life, after all, he thought that the earth before he traveled through might be the so-called extraterrestrial.

But the array spirit said that Tang Tianyuan said that there was no traverser in the world, it was just an illusion.

So he felt that this guess was wrong.

But he never thought that the so-called extraterrestrial thing was actually a black cat?

The next moment, the black cat with its eyes closed, as if it had been disturbed by someone's sleep, opened its eyes, squinted its eyes, stretched its waist, licked its paws, and then got up from the box and jumped on his shoulder.

Lin Lan turned his head to look and found that the vertical boy of the black cat was faintly confused and chaotic, and there seemed to be some scenery constantly flickering.

"How is it an empty box?"

The Spirit of the Formation couldn't help but ask, "Is it another existence that I can't see?" ”

Lin Lan raised his eyebrows slightly.

The spirit of this formation can't observe the existence of this cat?

It doesn't seem to be an ordinary cat.

Lin Lan suddenly found that there was a line of words inside the lid of the box, and immediately turned his head to take a closer look.

[This is her pet, if you are destined to get it, just feed it, although it is a little magical and difficult to change with its owner, but it still depends on the person who feeds it...... If it's gone, reopen the box, maybe it's still there.]

"Her pets? She? Lin Lan was thoughtful.

He suddenly thought of the 'she' in the message of the first national teacher in Tengen Beppu, who said that 'borrowed the seventy-one years of the first national teacher'.

As we all know, the first national teacher only lived for seventy-one years.

She...... Who is it?

This cat is the same as its owner, and its magic is difficult to change?

At this time, Lin Lan was suddenly slightly stunned, and couldn't help but change his face, because ...... He felt that the cat, which was originally standing on his left shoulder, suddenly disappeared!

He turned his head to look, but he found ...... The black cat was still standing on his shoulder.

At the same time, he felt that it was indeed standing on his shoulder, and he felt it again.

But before I saw it, it clearly felt like it was gone!

"I see...... When I didn't observe it, didn't even me notice it? Lin Lan suddenly understood.

"Lin Lan, what did Tang Tianyuan leave for you?" The Spirit of the Formation couldn't help but ask again.

Lin Lan said softly: "A cat." ”

The spirit of the formation was stunned for a moment and said, "Cat? ”

"Do you know what strange women Tang Tianyuan knew during his lifetime?" Lin Lan asked: "For example, the woman who helped him prolong his life may have raised a black cat." ”

"Never heard of it." The Spirit of the Formation said: "And I am also a Spirit Wisdom that was born before Tang Tianyuan died, but ......"

The spirit of the formation said again: "Tang Tianyuan seems to have indeed mentioned a woman, and said that with her help, so he can continue to have a bloodline, and Dayu can last forever." ”

"The bloodline is continuous, and it lasts forever?" Lin Lan narrowed his eyes.

The Spirit of the Formation said, "I don't know about the rest. ”

"Okay." Lin Lan said, "Do you have anything else to ask me?" ”

The Spirit of the Formation said: "We will see each other again in the future, but Tang Tianyuan said before leaving this box, since you have obtained the extraterrestrial things left by him, I hope you will take care of his bloodline descendants when you have the opportunity, you will definitely be able to help." ”

"I'm sure I can help?" Lin Lan was a little puzzled, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, I know, then I'll go." ”

The spirit of the formation said again: "Tang Tianyuan said, this wooden box should be kept. ”

Lin Lan didn't care, so he let the wooden box float and disappear in the darkness under the control of the spirit of the formation.

"Can I go now?" Lin Lan asked.

"Not yet." The Spirit of the Formation said.

"No way?" Lin Lan asked.

"I can't see anything outside the world at all, and it can't be considered a reward." The Spirit of the Formation said, "You can choose a new reward, and on your terms, you can choose whatever is in this treasure house." ”

Lin Lan was stunned, then pondered for a while, and asked, "Is there anything that is useful to me?" ”

The Spirit of the Formation replied: "There is no such treasure house, there is one item in the Heavenly Yuan Secret Treasury of the Human Sect that is extremely useful to you, but the premise is that you have to become the Pavilion Master of the Human Sect Secret Pavilion before you are eligible to enter the Heavenly Yuan Secret Vault." ”

"Pavilion Master?"

Lin Lan shook his head slightly, he was not polite, and said directly: "Then I won't pick it, you just give me the most precious treasure in this secret vault." ”

"You're really welcome." The Spirit of the Formation smiled.

……

In the school palace, among the rockeries, in front of the stone gate of the Tianyuan Secret Vault.

"Strange, why is it so long?"

The Yue Pavilion Lord looked at the stone gate with some confusion and said, "According to the previous law, at most, after the spirit of the formation has been probed, after giving the treasure, people will be released, why hasn't Lin Lan come out for so long?" ”

"Will something happen?" Fan Qingyao was a little worried.

"No, it won't." The Yue Pavilion Lord shook his head and said, "This array of spirits is ......."

That's when —

The stone door opened suddenly, and Lin Lan, who was in a wheelchair, slowly came out of the darkness.

And on his lap, there is a quaint guqin.
