Chapter Twenty-Five: The Memories of the Cicada
"It's not too early, I'll send you back." "We'll see each other more often in the future." β
Yes, I suddenly remembered that the convoy was still waiting to leave!
"I'll help you cover up the past. Similarly," sensing his thoughts, Xunfeng spoke, "Your every move is under my watch, don't do irrational things." β
As soon as the words fell, Xunfeng's slender fingers grabbed Ren Yi's forearm, and there was an imperceptible fluctuation in the air, and the two people instantly appeared in the wilderness where the convoy was parked.
It's dusk, and the six rounds of red sunset are as brilliant as blood, casting a shocking gradient of color over the endless land after the disaster.
Before Ren Yi's vision was clear, Xunfeng touched the ground on one knee, pressed his right hand lightly, and a huge aura erupted against the wild grass.
Transparent swirling air currents appeared in the air again, and within the circle of light, the armored trucks like behemoths disappeared in unison, and all the sculptural and frozen dart masters disappeared together.
When Ren Yi saw it clearly, everyone had already maintained their original posture and came to the outside of Lingzhou City.
"Yanshi, let them go." Xunfeng nodded.
"Oops, I'm tiredβ" A loud voice yawned and sounded not far behind Ren Yi.
Ren Yi turned his head and looked at the astragalus who was stretching his waist in surprise.
"I've been driving all afternoon, and I'm tired to death." Astragalus turned, "Why do I feel like I've been standing all afternoon?" β
β¦β¦ You did stand all afternoon. Ren Yi complained silently.
When he looked back again, Xunfeng's figure had long since disappeared without a trace.
"Eat fast, eat fast, I'll be home in two hours!" Astragalus tightened the thermos cup in his hand and strode back to the driver's seat.
ββ¦β¦ Why do you still feel hungry after eating? β
Looking at his back as he ate one meal and two meals, Ren Yi was shocked.
Is this the big guy in the group?
I'll be their leader from now on?
A sense of pride arose in Ren Yi's heart, the big guy took me, I must be a good group leader and seek benefits for everyone!
β¦β¦
The convoy of Ren's dart bureau gradually moved away, and Xunfeng stood alone in the wilderness of the night wind, his eyes moving, and finally landed on a ruin somewhere outside Lingzhou.
She said silently: "In the process of monitoring him, I will investigate the affairs of Chikou Town by the way." The defection of 'Nautilus' definitely has another hidden reason. β
The vehicle was driving in the night, Ren Yi sat next to the astragalus, and after a high-intensity battle, he had reached the state of sleeping with his head next to something.
In a daze, Ren Yi heard a young man's voice in a trance.
"Your Majesty, I have just come from the south to bring you an anecdote." The man spoke.
When Ren Yi opened his eyes, the wilderness in front of him had turned into the wooden rafters of ancient buildings, light veils floating, and purple smoke curling.
Your Majesty? How did you still travel back to ancient times?
Ren Yigang wanted to turn over and sit up, but suddenly found that he was now in a state of immobility.
Ghost press? Ren Yi thought vaguely, struggling to curl up his fingertips.
The image before me continues. Although the speaker was dressed in the clothes and belts of the ancient literati, he had a pair of turquoise eyes like a foreigner.
β¦β¦ It's a cicada!
Ren Yi remembered that in the last picture, he saw the picture of the blue-clothed cicada cutting the "round sky" out of his abdomen.
Is this really the memory of the cicada stored in it?
"There is a Wuling County under Sima Yao's rule, and not long ago, there was a public case. There was a fisherman who was sailing in the direction of the current, but he came to a strange village. The clothing, language, and living habits there are no different from the outside world, but the events experienced are completely different. The fisherman wandered around and left, and then tried to look for it, but he couldn't do it anyway. It was as if the village had vanished into thin air, never to be seen again. β
Ren Yi listened, gradually forgetting the purpose of wanting to break free from the dream.
On the opposite side was a middle-aged man dressed in black, who waved his hand indifferently when he heard this: "Anecdotes, there are always anecdotes." β
"Your Majesty, I have some opinion on this matter. I'm going to come up with a concept called a 'parallel universe'. It refers to other universes that are both similar and different from the original universe that exist parallel to the original universe. In these universes, there are conditions that are similar to ours, and people who are similar. At the same time, in these different universes, things will develop with different results: people who have died in our universe may live well in another universe, and unfulfilled wishes in this universe may become the reality of that universe. β
"And the narrow tunnel that connects these two different time and space is called a 'wormhole'."
"You mean, a wormhole suddenly appeared in Wuling County? From a purely academic point of view, I do find this statement interesting. But statecraft cannot be preferred. The middle-aged man on the other side shook his head helplessly.
"Then why did you send Lu Guang to Qiuzi to invite the high monk Kumarosh?"
"Great countries naturally need cultural prosperity, but that culture is not for the rulers themselves."
"You call yourself a Taoist?" Biyi Cicada said, "The Sima family is still on the left side of the Anjiang River, and the Taoist system has never been divided in the world. β
The eyes of the man opposite were full of ambition: "I will unify the world." β
"If I say...... What do I have to do? β
The man refused very tactfully: "Confucianism has always relied on Confucianism to stabilize the country. β
"In this way, Your Majesty doesn't look down on my ability."
ββ¦β¦ So what, the dish is cold, eat more. β
β¦β¦ What's that?
The picture came to an abrupt end, and Ren Yi woke up from his dream unexpectedly.
"Hey, it's here!" Astragalus nudged him and said.
"So fast." Ren Yi wiped the harazi on his mouth, jumped out of the car, and packed up the things in the car with the dart masters.
"Eh, why are you so hungry today?" Ren Yi heard the dart master who was carrying a box of leftover supplies beside him mutter.
β¦β¦ You've only eaten one meal today, can you not be hungry? Ren Yi smiled secretly in his heart.
Ren Yi took out the remaining bullets in the car, and at this time, his stomach suddenly gurgled and twitched, and he was also hungry.
How about you, what about me? I'm so excited!
β¦β¦ It must have been that weird dream I just had, showing me that I was hungry.
Oh yes, that dream just now should be the memory of the cicada, right? Ren Yi thought in his heart, he had seen the scene of Biyi Cicada committing suicide, and the "round sky" was cut out of his body.
At that time, the blue-clothed cicada was no longer in love, but in the video just now, he was still enthusiastic about discussing academics with others.
So, are these memories out of order?
However, what he said just now is very advanced...... Ren Yi walked to the steps of the dart game and sat down, lit a cigarette, according to the current level of scientific and technological development, it is easy to understand his words.
Could this be the truth that the cicada in blue clothes has penetrated? The scientific cosmology is too impactful for an ancient man to accept for a while, and others will also regard his words as a big rebellious nonsense?
Ren Yi knocked on the cigarette code and spit out a puff of cigarette, if you tell the ancients that you live on a ball, there are no gods in the sky, there is nothing left when people die, and the emperor is not the Son of Heaven at all, it is indeed crazy, if you spread this kind of remarks wantonly, it will indeed be dragged to the level of beheading on the street, no wonder you will be besieged.
Ren Yi thought about it, and suddenly felt a chill behind him, and a terrifying thought came to his heart.
"Where did this idea come from? It's unlikely that you can figure it out on your own...... Could it be like me, devouring the 'round sky' and then seeing it through vague memories? β
Ren Yi vaguely remembered that Yanshi had said that the "Heaven and the Round Land" was discovered by the Biyi Cicada in the process of cultivating in the clouds, and he regarded it as an immortal, that is to say, the real history of this thing is even older......
Is the sharing of ability and consciousness really the height that can be achieved in ancient times?
Judging from Xunfeng's words before, they didn't seem to know that such a strange memory fragment was stored in the "round sky", and they really believed that it was something left behind by the ancient Daoist after his ascension.
So what exactly is it?
Ren Yi looked at the busy figures around him and stood up: "It seems that this thing is really not that simple......"
