Chapter 54: The Self and the Ego

Chen Xixian's stone statue didn't move no matter how you looked at it, and if the stone statue moved, even the slightest sound Chen Xi would not be able to miss. And as long as it moves, there will inevitably be traces on the ground. Although the ground is now the roof, there will be dust on the roof after a long time, and if the stone statue changes direction with Chen Xi's movement, then there will definitely be traces.

Since he didn't move, why did Chen Xi see so clearly that the eyes of the stone statue were always looking at him? Chen Xi forced himself to be quiet, panicking at this time did not do him any good. He thought of many possibilities, and thought about them from various directions, but in the end it seemed that there was only one answer that was closest to the truth...... That is, Chen Xi did not move at all.

Coming up with such an answer would feel creepy anyway. Because Chen Xi had already walked a circle before, he thought that he had walked a circle. If the stone statue didn't move, then he didn't move either? Chen Xi immediately looked at the place where he had walked...... There are no footprints, no traces at all.

He felt a chill in his heart, if he hadn't moved, then why had he looked all over the room just now? When he thought of this, Chen Xi suddenly felt that something was wrong, although he had been staring at the stone statue before, but he subconsciously ignored a little...... The appearance of the stone statue seems to be very familiar. Even the most powerful craftsmen will have some deviations in the figure carved out of stone, because the original color and texture of the stone do not reflect human flesh and blood after all.

The gray-black stone statue face is similar to what people think when they look at it. But after Chen Xi calmed down, the face of this stone statue was ...... It's his own. The statue sat cross-legged and smiled, the same smile he practiced every day in the mirror.

Chen Xi felt that his scalp was a little numb, and walked over to look at the hand of the stone statue, and there was a shallow pattern on the back of the hand...... A small sword. At this moment, Chen Xi almost collapsed. It was obviously the first time he had come here, so why was there a statue of him here? Aoki Sword only awakened after the battle between Dagushan and Yuan Fenglei, and turned into a tattoo on the back of his right hand. But there is also this tattoo on the stone statue...... It's so weird.

Then Chen Xi thought of an extremely terrifying possibility, and after coming in, he seemed so abnormal. Could this statue really be himself? From the moment he walked into the room, his body became a stone statue, and then only his soul moved in the room?

This is the Nine Shades Dungeon, and it seems that it is normal to have something strange and strange. In other words, what Chen Xi thinks is abnormal is normal.

But there is nothing more terrifying, so what is the significance of the appearance of this stone statue? Chen Xi continued to take a deep breath, he had to calm himself down, but he knew that if he couldn't find the answer, he would go crazy sooner or later. The law enforcer told him that Chen Dingdang did not say how long he would be imprisoned, and Chen Xi's mind could not last long in this environment.

Quiet, so quiet all around.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xi sat down cross-legged in front of the stone statue. He imitated the appearance of the stone statue, and the posture remained the same. A person's stone statue is face to face, and it can also be said that a person's soul and a stone statue face to face. Just looked at each other directly, motionless.

I don't know how long it has been, Chen Xixian's heart has become more and more frightened. He had faced many fears over the years, but he was able to put them aside every time. Because he has strong perseverance and a strong will, he always tells him that he is at ease out of his heart, so he is fearless.

However, the fear we are facing now is not the fear of danger. If he was facing a powerful enemy, or a powerful beast, Chen Xi could calculate how he could win or flee for his life. But now he had nothing to calculate, and fear came out of his own heart.

He was facing himself.

Chen Xi began to adjust his breathing, not short of speed or heavy. He thought of the meditation method that the great monk Yangzhao taught him when he was in the Seven Yang Valley Zen Buddhism, and then he began to silently recite the Zen method in his heart. The great monk Yangzhao is an enlightened monk in the Seven Yang Valley, and his teachings have actually influenced Chen Xi many times. The reason why Chen Xi can always stay calm in danger has a lot to do with the influence of Yang Zhao on him.

In the ethereal spirit, a very warm voice appeared in Chen Xi's mind. That's what the great monk once said to him...... As long as your eyes see yourself clearly, then you can understand what is false and what is true. It is harder to recognize yourself than to recognize the whole world.

Chen Xi opened his eyes fiercely, looked at the stone statue in front of him and said word by word: "You are not me, I am still me." ”

......

......

Deep in the bamboo forest

Gao Qingshu's face was a little anxious, and he paced back and forth, glancing at the person standing not far away from time to time. The man wore a particularly large cloak with a hat and a black scarf covering his face with only his eyes. The cloak obscured his figure, and it was impossible to tell if he was thin or fat. The black scarf covered his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was old or young. But he has a pair of eyes that have been through vicissitudes, as if he has experienced many, many hardships and hardships.

His silence was finally exchanged for Gao Qingshu's anger, Gao Qingshu suddenly stopped and looked at him angrily and asked, "Why don't you have any arrangements when you can stop this?" I know you want to protect yourself, but Chen Xi is the young master, what if something happens to him in the Nine Shadows Dungeon!"

The black-robed man was silent for a while, then shook his head: "You know, Chen Xi has to go to the Nine Shadows Dungeon, and now there is this opportunity for him to explore the path in advance, which will be of great benefit to the future." He must also know what the Nine Shadows Dungeon is, and with his current cultivation, he must recognize himself. If he acts rashly, it will be meaningless for you and me to protect him. ”

Gao Qingshu said: "But you know very well how dangerous the first layer of the Nine Shadows Dungeon is, if he can't defend himself, he will go crazy." ”

"If he can't even do this, why should he take revenge?"

The black-robed man's rhetorical question made Gao Qingshu unable to answer, and he opened his mouth but did not have a suitable word to say. The black-robed man sighed and said, "There are only two people left who the sect master trusted, if you are not careful, this revenge will not wait to be avenged, you and I will die like Chen Xi." I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that all these years of forbearance and scheming will be in vain. ”

His tone was very light, so his tone was a little awkward: "Chen Xi must face this, as long as he can survive from the first layer of the Nine Shadows Dungeon and keep his true heart, he will not reveal his identity when he faces any danger in the future." Even in the face of torture by the enemy, he will not be exposed. He has to go through this level, he needs to grow. ”

Gao Qingshu was stunned for a while, and finally just let out a long sigh. He turned to leave, then stopped and said, "Maybe you're right, but you have to keep him safe." You have the ability and the responsibility now. ”

The black-robed man nodded: "I just want him to grow up as much as possible, and now that he is imprisoned in the Nine Shadows Dungeon, it may not be an opportunity." Don't worry, I will definitely let him out before the monthly exam. His cultivation is still too weak and weak, and he must enter the higher levels of the Transformation Tower to cultivate. ”

Gao Qingshu said: "You must follow my method, he will go to the Great Mantian Sect." ”

The black-robed man smiled, his voice a little hoarse: "Who knows, maybe he has already made a decision himself." He was a strong man and very smart. ”

Gao Qingshu didn't say anything more and strode away. The black-robed man looked at Gao Qingshu's back, and a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes. He seemed to really want to see what Chen Xi would look like after he came out of the Nine Shadows Dungeon, and he also had high hopes for that young man. But his current identity is too sensitive, and he must not reveal it when it is necessary.

As long as he is still in this position, he can give Chen Xi the greatest help. The secret letter sent by the Zhao family to the inner sect was destroyed by him, and it was he who replied to a letter that relieved the Zhao family's concerns. Without him, Chen Xi might have to face more and more dangers.

"I must live, and I must not die until the day when Chen Xi becomes a strong man. Before he grew up, I wasn't even qualified to die...... So, Gao Qingshu, don't blame me if I do something that makes you unhappy. You and I are all for Chen Xi, and we are all for the kindness of the sect master back then. ”

He muttered to himself, then turned and disappeared.

......

......

Chen Xi doesn't know the time, and no matter how strong a person's calculation ability is, he can't accurately remember how long time has passed. It's so quiet, so quiet that even the passage of time can be ignored. When Chen Xi looked at the stone statue without fear or worry, he stood up.

There was a smile on his lips, as if the stone statue no longer meant anything to him. The stone statue is still there, but in Chen Xi's eyes, the stone statue is just a stone statue, not himself. Even in his eyes, he was just Chen Xi and no one else. His state of mind has reached a higher level, and he can already remember himself or forget himself.

He looked at the stone statue, and the stone statue was not himself. He looked down at himself, he was not himself. He looked at the stone statue, and the stone statue was itself. He looked down at himself, he was still himself. The stone statue can be Chen Xi, and Chen Xi can also be a stone statue. Whether he walks out of this door or stays here, Chen Xi can be anyone, and anyone can be Chen Xi.

This state of mind made Chen Xi feel a kind of relaxation. His heart, which had been tense for so many years, gradually relaxed, and he no longer worried about whether he would be exposed. Even if a powerful enemy uses soul dementorship to torture his soul now, I'm afraid that I can't find any suspicion.

Chen Xi looked at the stone statue, smiled and said thank you. Thank you for making me who I am and making me no longer who I am. I can be the vengeful Chen Xi, or I can be a Chen Xi who is just for the sake of cultivation.

The stone statue smiled at him as well, as if he understood his heart.

Chen Xi walked out of the portal and walked to the door of the first layer of the tower. Then he confirmed his previous judgment, and only when he stood in the doorway and looked out, could he be sure that he was indeed upside down. His head was down, keeping one direction with the Nine Shadows dungeon. But when you look outside, the outside world is normal.

Chen Xi took another deep breath and exhaled turbidity. It was then that he suddenly heard a strange sound, as if something was tearing something. He looked up...... Yes, he looked out of the door, looking under the Nine Shadows dungeon, in such a posture, looking up and down.

He saw a sea of fire suddenly appear in the huge sinkhole, and there were many, many creepy things struggling in the boiling sea of fire. The sea of fire is constantly rising, like a rising tide. And as it gets higher and higher, the things in the sea of fire become more and more excited and manic.

Chen Xi saw a powerful cultivator in the sea of fire and a powerful divine beast. These things are broken, but they are still strong. Among them, there was even a giant who was dozens of meters tall, carrying a huge ring knife in his hand, and the giant looked up at the Nine Shadows Dungeon and let out a roar!

"We're going out!"

The giant's roar seemed to shake the world.

Then, Chen Xi saw an old man in a red robe appear, who was one of the gray-eyed old men guarding outside the wall. He was carrying a wooden stick in his hand, an ordinary wooden stick. It doesn't even look like a weapon, it's a rolling pin. The gray-eyed old man floated here and snorted disdainfully.

Then he lifted the stick and smashed it down, only to ...... The sea of fire was extinguished, the giants crumbled, and everything that roared was suppressed. Then the old man thrust the rolling pin into the endless abyss below, and the rolling pin instantly grew larger and fell like a needle of the sea god. In the next second, a pool of blood swept up in the endless abyss!

The old man lowered his head and "looked" at his hands stained with flour, and said to himself with some disappointment: "How can you eat noodles without a rolling pin?"
