Chapter 230: Retreat
Li Chuan remembered Chang Xiao and Jin Rong's depiction of this orange sky, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and stare at the changes in the sky. Above the boundless sky, orange gradually covered the entire sky, and the bright and soft light kept flowing.
In the flow of light, there was a giant beast soaring among them, and its fierce gaze was cast on Li Chuan and them through hundreds of millions of years.
Although Li Chuan knew that it was just an afterimage of time, he still subconsciously took a step back.
When he raised his head again, the ancient and mysterious demon beast disappeared, and a cruel battle unfolded on the canopy, and he saw the earth crack into an endless abyss, hot magma gushed out, and in the strange sea of fire, one monk after another fell.
The fire was extinguished, and the orange sky faded its brilliance into a dead darkness, like a heavy black cloth covering everything.
The light of the pillar of heaven lit up lonely, streaking through the vast fertile pond forbidden land, like ripples caused by stones thrown on the water.
Spots of light shimmer in the darkness like stars.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, and he said, "I see, it is so." ”
"What's wrong?" Li Chuan asked.
Jiang Mei explained: "The picture that appeared on the canopy just now is the scene of the ancient demon beast crashing into the pillar of heaven, causing the spiritual veins to shatter and the sweet spring to pollute. ”
"Have you seen this before?" Review the past should ask Chang Xiao.
Chang Xiao recalled for a moment and said, "No." ”
"How often does this happen?" Li Chuan asked.
Chang Xiao looked at the sky and replied: "It's hard to say, sometimes you can see it every day, and sometimes you don't show up for a long, long time." I also tried to get closer to the sky and into the picture, but as long as I had such thoughts, I couldn't get out of it. ”
"I, I think the Tianzhu is also conscious, it has always been with me, no matter where I go, as long as I turn around, I can see it." Chang Xiao's tone was a little relieved, and said, "Mr. Jiang said that I was a life born from the Heavenly Pillar, so ...... So it's been protecting me. ”
"If you want to know the truth, keep searching." Jiang Mei said to Chang Xiao: "What happened hundreds of millions of years ago can still be reproduced in the fertile pool, and what happened to you will definitely be able to find clues here." ”
"Well," Chang Xiao decided, he said, "I will." ”
After a day's journey, even Wen Ying and Jiang Mei felt a little tired, so they camped and rested.
Li Chuan was still in the formation. At this time, he had completely adapted to the light that had penetrated into the formation, and felt that he could let Jiang Mei put some more light in tomorrow.
He lay down with his clothes. The runes of the formation were a little blurry in the rich light, and from the angle from which he was lying, he could still see the silhouette of one or two words on the heavenly pillar.
After closing his eyes, he felt a heavy drowsiness welling up.
That night, he didn't dream.
When he woke up, Gonger walked up to him with a piece of white and said, "Big brother, this is falling from the sky, Senior Brother Wen said that this is Xianyan white jade, eating it can improve spiritual understanding!" ”
Li Chuan stretched out his hand to take it, took a bite, and felt that it was biting on a ball of cotton wool, and then the cotton wool melted in his mouth and flowed into his stomach. It's not unpleasant, and it doesn't taste good.
"Big brother, how's it going? Do you want more? A lot of it! Gongji said.
"Bring some more." Li Chuan said.
Soon, Gonger came over with several more pieces, and Li Chuan took it, and suddenly felt as if he was in prison, asking someone to send food and drink.
Soon after eating, Jiang Mei came over to adjust the formation for him, and then he continued to disassemble the past word by word. Maybe it was because he had slept enough to adapt to the light of the Heavenly Pillar, or maybe it was because he had taken the Xianyan White Jade, his speed was much faster than yesterday. As the pattern was completed little by little, he had the illusion that his consciousness was slowly rising along the pillar.
What does it feel like to look down from the top of the pillar?
The days passed day by day, except for when Li Chuan was sleeping, the rest of the time was staring at the heavenly pillar, and even in his dreams, it was all strange words twisting around. Only occasionally when the orange canopy appeared did he pause, catch his breath, and admire the demeanor of the demon beasts and monks tens of thousands of years ago.
Finally, the last word was also dismantled by him, but the pattern was still incomplete.
What's missing?
Li Chuan took out the "Book of Tattoos" and turned to the middle page. The light of the heavenly pillar fell on the page, and Li Chuan felt that the pattern on that page seemed to stand up from the page, but in a trance, the pattern lay down little by little.
He put away the "Book of Tattoos" and planned to walk around. At this time, he had completely adapted to the light of the Heavenly Pillar, and Jiang Mei's formation had already been withdrawn two days ago.
He walked slowly around the pillar, and after walking a circle, Gonger and Pang San followed him.
"Big brother, have you learned a new diagram?" Gong Er asked.
"It's not close." Li Chuan walked and felt that the depression in his heart gradually dissipated, "This pattern, part of it is illusory, part of it is reality, I can only experience these two points at present, how the illusion and reality are connected, I don't understand." ”
He thought about the pattern of lying down slowly, and said, "It should be a little bit worse." ”
"What's missing?" Gong Er asked.
"Maybe, let's think about it again, if we can't figure it out in a few days, then we can only leave here......" Li Chuan saw the three of them at this time, and he immediately walked in their direction. After approaching, he heard Wen Guying ask Chang Xiao: "Is this here?" ”
Chang Xiao replied: "Yes, I feel that the river is surging underground, and in a few days, there will be a river here, and there are many silver fish in it, and the taste is very delicious." ”
Seeing Li Chuan coming, Wen said to him: "Chang Gongzi said that there will be a river here, and Brother Jiang and I suspect that this river is a sweet spring water hidden in the netherworld. ”
Then he asked Li Chuan, "Are you done with your retreat?" But what do you know? ”
Li Chuan said: "It's probably cracked nine, but there are still some key points, and I can't figure it out." Then he asked Wen Guying and Jiang Mei for advice, although he still didn't find an answer, but he also had some more ideas.
He was about to go back and try again, when suddenly the canopy around him turned orange again, this time orange was more reddish, flowing in the light of the pillars.
Li Chuan saw that several of them also had a layer of orange on their faces.
Chang Xiao said: "It's just these days, the sky will be orange these days, and it won't disperse until the small river appears." ”
Li Chuan felt a change at this time, a change that he was extremely familiar with, surging.
