337: The Divine Restraint
Lou Jinchen turned into a ray of light and threw himself into the endless mountain, and the endless mountain that seemed to be real and virtual broke open in his eyes.
As if the illusion of ink and wash had been peeled off by the light of his sword, the mountain palace that originally seemed to be hazy with a layer of oil quickly became clear.
The tall trees in the mountains also turned green and green in his eyes, tender and bright.
In front of a palace with blue tiles and red walls, a silver light circled, and then fell, manifesting a person, who was Lou Jinchen.
He looked up, and there was a blue plaque hanging on the palace with a few large characters written on it.
Hold on to the temple!
What to hold? Shou what?
This is the first thought that Lou Jinchen had when he saw these words.
When the door of the temple was opened, he saw a staircase.
The stairs go all the way up, like all the way to the sky, from the real to the virtual.
Lou Jinchen walked all the way in, walked up the steps, and he clearly felt the feeling of the steps under his feet from real to virtual.
But that emptiness is not complete nothingness.
The feeling of emptiness and reality in his heart increased rapidly and was substantial.
Above was fog, it was pitch black, it was dark, and he walked all the way up, with his feet.
When he looked down, the door of the palace turned into a flooded hole, and when he looked up and down, he couldn't even tell for a moment whether he was up or down.
He kept on and on, still climbing the stairs, and at last he saw a platform, and then the moment he ascended it, he saw a thin man standing there with his hands in his hands, and in front of that man was an illusory sea.
Lou Jinchen was shocked at this moment.
He is not a person who has never seen the world, he himself is not a person from this world, so no matter how bizarre things are, he should not be frightened, and he has also been to some extraterritorial cities, which he has seen more than many people.
But at this time, when he saw the illusory sea in front of the national teacher, he was deeply shocked.
The national teacher turned around, looked at Lou Jinchen and said, "Do you know what this is?" ”
Lou Jinchen shook his head.
The national teacher was silent for a while and said, "I actually don't know very well. ”
Lou Jinchen was a little surprised: "The national teacher is not clear, but he has been staying here?" ”
"Because I guess I caused it." The national teacher said.
"Oh?" Lou Jinchen was even more surprised.
"Back then, I suppressed the High Priest of the Winter God Cult here, but everything was not as easy as I imagined, it seems that I suppressed her, but in fact I can't go anywhere." The national teacher said.
"Can't kill her?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"If you want to try it, you can try it later." The national teacher said.
"So how did this come about?" Although Lou Jinchen was interested, he really wanted to know how he came here.
"I suppressed the High Priestess, but she also summoned the God of Winter to descend, and I forcibly cut it off and prevented the 'God of Winter' from breaking through the Void, which was the Void Passage that the God of Winter had opened back then, you see here."
Lou Jinchen looked in the direction pointed by the national teacher, and found that the edge seemed to be pressed by this step, like a broken membrane, pressed by him, and he could not be blown out of a bigger breach by the wind.
"You can reach in and feel it." The national teacher said with a smile.
Lou Jinchen stepped forward, came to the side of the national teacher, and reached into the illusory space, only for a moment, he felt the biting coldness, and the illusory sea in his eyes also changed color.
It turned into a vast snowfield, and icebergs were faintly visible.
"What I see is nothing but an illusion, an image that comes from the deepest thoughts of your heart and mine, and this is the terrible delusion, which is changed by man's mind, and seems to be endless, but if you can set your mind in it, you can travel through it."
The voice of the national teacher was not in a hurry, and Lou Jinchen quickly dispelled the cold in his hand.
And Lou Jinchen felt the cold in his hands, but he thought of a place.
The tomb of the sealed town in the mountain of the gods of the wedding banquet, on the tomb door of the tomb, when Lou Jinchen pressed it, it was also similar cold.
Just as he thought of this, the void scene in front of him began to change rapidly, turning into a snowy field, as if there was a howling wind blowing, and he seemed to be the only person walking on this snowy field.
Boundless on all sides, looking up, only a cold moon shines.
The moon shone on the body, getting colder and colder, colder and colder, and that chill quickly penetrated into the bones.
Lou Jinchen's body standing there quickly became cold, on his face, hair, clothes, and the back of his hands, just when his eyes were almost frosted, the national teacher stood next to him and watched, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was about to make a move, Lou Jinchen's eyes swelled with flames.
So the frost on his body quickly dissipated, and the national teacher looked at this flame, and he actually had a terrifying feeling.
Then he saw that Lou Jinchen stretched out his hand in his hair and pulled out his sword, which was as small as a short chopstick, only to see him squeeze it in his hand and wave it towards the void.
Seeing the sword slashing through the rainbow, and hearing the roar of the slaughtering tiger, the cold that penetrated from the void quickly subsided, as if the connection between the underworld had been cut off by this sword.
"Xiaoyou's swordsmanship, but he can really cut through the void, it's really good swordsmanship." The national teacher said with a sigh.
"It's just a little bit of self-preservation." Lou Jinchen inserted the sword back into the hair room, he just swung the sword at the moon shadow that suddenly appeared in his heart, and it could be regarded as a sword with all his strength, and it really cut off that connection.
"The god of winter, has he been wandering?" Lou Jinchen said.
"How will He go?" The national teacher said: "She is only one step away from being able to come here, how can she give up, you and I are here, talking about Him, thinking of Him, He can always sense us here, as long as there are His believers in this world, then our side of the world will never be able to escape His gaze." ”
Lou Jinchen understood.
"That is, this gap was opened by Him?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"Yes, He almost made it." The national teacher said.
"Then why doesn't He come now?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"Because I'm here?" The national teacher smiled: "You underestimate me too much, and you also think too highly of this 'Winter God'." ”
The national teacher put his hands behind his back, looked at the void in front of him, and said: "You look at this void, you think that the god of winter, will be cast by the other party, so you think that the other party is extremely powerful, but what I want to tell you is that the other party is in the void, and if you want to enter our world, but you are like a fish ashore, you need a process of adaptation. ”
"From the virtual to the real, there is not so simple, the world is different, the rules are different, when they go from the virtual to the real, and then break free from the shackles of the real, and then return to the virtual, they will truly become the kind of unfettered existence." The national teacher said.
Lou Jinchen had always had this kind of conjecture before, and now listening to the words of the national teacher, he can't help but be more sure.
I couldn't help asking, "So, does the national teacher know what is the difference between those monks in the extraterrestrial universe and the secret spirits in this illusion?" ”
"The people in the extraterrestrial universe are the same as us, it's just that our world is closed and we don't know the outside, maybe a long time ago, we were connected to the outside world, but the back is not connected, at least those legends, we can vaguely see that there was a big war between the realms." The national teacher said.
"And the secret spirit in the void exists in the void, in the 'void' and 'delusion', and it is actually the same for the monks in other realms. However, with this secret spirit from the void to the real, and then back to the void, it can truly become a god, and its followers spread to the major realms, so that it is the real immortal existence. ”
"Then why, those people outside the realm need to break the membrane of the realm if they want to come in, but this 'God of Winter' doesn't?" Lou Jinchen asked again.
"Because the 'God of Winter' itself is an illusory existence, its existence is like a thought, but despite this, his own connection with this world is at least thousands of years old, or even more distant, the distance from the virtual to the real seems to be only one step, but it is also a long process."
"Of course, those who parasitize directly in the hearts of the sacrificers are the fastest, but this one also has great limitations, and it takes a long time to change the shape." The national teacher said.
Lou Jinchen has figured it out now, has a concept in his heart, looks at the illusory in front of him, and suddenly says with a smile: "In fact, it can be said that this piece of illusory is the 'God of Winter'." ”
"It can also be said that He exists in our hearts, and cannot truly conceive the true form without entering our world." The national teacher said.
"It's still the national teacher who is powerful, and he built a palace here, I don't think he doesn't want to go, but he is fixed by the national teacher." Lou Jinchen suddenly sighed.
A hint of surprise appeared on the face of the national teacher, followed by a smile, as if he had done something proud, but he didn't want to say it, but the kind of reserved pride after being seen.
"Yes, God of Winter, I've wanted to catch it for a long time, but it's a pity that after all these years, I still haven't fixed it, and I can't really restrain it." The national teacher said.
"I think, it's the National Teacher, you have a bit of a python swallowing elephant." Lou Jinchen said.
"Oh, how do you say?" The national teacher glanced at Lou Jinchen and asked.
"This endless mountain, constantly increasing, is because you need to strengthen the suppression, otherwise, why do you need to do this." Lou Jinchen said.
"Okay, it's really not what it used to be, don't be a few decades, when you look at it, in your eyes, I'm afraid there are not many secrets anymore, old witch, I left the Spirit Witch Palace, came to this Dongzhou, there are few people who can enter my eyes, you are one of them." The national teacher said.
"Hehe, it's really an honor to be able to enter the eyes of the National Teacher, but I don't know if the National Teacher has ever thought that you are suppressing and trying to detain the 'Winter God' here, but there is a 'secret spirit' next to you who is changing shape."
Lou Jinchen's words fell, and the national teacher's face became serious.
