Section 11 First Acquaintance
"I see!" Ye Chao is now in a mysterious realm.
"It turns out that the formula of the cubic of a minus the cubic of b is the subtraction of the volumes of two cubes! ......" Ye Chao felt as if he was in a vacuum, and he couldn't tell whether he was floating in the air or falling to the ground. Far away from the top of his head, Ye Chao felt that it was like a heavenly dome, there was a layer of transparency, a thin substance like a bowl upside down, the substance looked like a soap bubble or a thin film, and the film seemed to be a huge display screen, on which some pictures flashed from time to time, there were objects, people, events, and landscapes. Bizarre and bizarre.
As the flickering picture echoes with some mathematical and physical formulas and some philosophical views in his memory, the knowledge points in these memories are like topological diagrams, and the relevant knowledge points will naturally be connected in series to form tree-like figures, and some of these tree-like figures will become plump with the rapid operation of Ye Chao's thinking, and some are obviously missing and blank.
"Maybe this is the legendary epiphany!"
Ye Chao withdrew his attention from the top of his head, and noticed that there were countless points of light all around, dense, flickering brightly and darkly, some of the points of light were a little larger, as bright as a lamp, which could be counted as a spot of light, and some of the points of light were dim, and they felt like they were about to go out, Ye Chao saw with his own eyes that there were points of light that went out from time to time within his line of sight, but then new points of light appeared, and these points of light kept alternating with each other.
Just when Ye Chao observed and analyzed these light spots, a bright spot that could become a light spot suddenly flew up from the spot, rushing towards the film of the dome, like a meteor or a rocket, looking at the posture is to break through the film, the film looks fragile, Ye Chao was originally ready to watch the scene of the soap bubble being broken, but unfortunately, the light spot hit the film, just like a moth pounced on the spider web, just let the film tremble, and the position of the film where the light spot is located appeared in a different picture, there are fires in the sky, and there are dark clouds, there is life, there is death.......
I don't know how long it took, the light spot suddenly broke away, and the film was punched out of a bump, but the film was not penetrated, and after the light spot was swept back again, the light gradually became dim on the film, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Suddenly, Ye Chao felt as if he understood something, those countless points of light were actually the lives that existed in this world, and those points of light that could be called light spots or very bright points of light might be cultivators like himself, but it was a pity that Ye Chao couldn't see how bright the brightness of the points of light that represented him was, and the spots of light that he had just seen rising into the sky were probably the ultimate goal of the legendary cultivator - Ascension!
Ascension, that is the exploration of the unknown, that is the sublimation of life, that is to break the shackles of the world, beyond the world, but it is a pity that Ye Chao saw that the ascension failed. At least Ye Chao felt that it should be a failure.
Ye Chao felt that he was going to get out of this environment, he didn't know if he came to this environment every time he had an epiphany, and he didn't know if what everyone saw and perceived in his epiphany was the same. This epiphany made me more aware of what the world is? Where is his future direction and how much knowledge he has, it can be said that this experience has allowed him to obtain the true meaning of "knowing" part of it. Know the world, know the direction, know yourself. When Ye Chao got out of this environment, Ye Chao took one last look at the soap bubble.
Ye Chao knew that he was back in the volcano, but he didn't open his eyes, he still maintained the posture he had cultivated, motionless, he found through his inner vision that he had unconsciously completed the cultivation of the third layer of exercises, and it seemed that the epiphany really had an indescribable wonder. I just don't know how long it has been since I started to enter here and start cultivating.
"I don't know what the situation is like outside?" This thought flashed through Ye Chao's mind.
Immediately, he felt that his consciousness was like a radar, and it was swept away. First out of the state of inner vision, and then Ye Chao seemed to see that he was wrapped in a layer of mud shell, which was attached to the rock wall, and if he didn't look closely, it was like a rock.
"How long have you been cultivating, and you've been petrified?" Ye Chao was a little inexplicably afraid.
Ye Chao's consciousness swam the entire cave, and as soon as he walked to the door of the cave, the burning sensation let Ye Chao know that the magma lake was still there through his consciousness, and Ye Chao felt that although the high temperature had a sense of destruction to his consciousness, at least it also made Ye Chao feel uncomfortable, just like if people subconsciously would not put their hands into the fire to take things. Suddenly, Ye Chao's consciousness stopped, and immediately Ye Chao's consciousness suddenly retreated to the position in front of him like a tide. Because he "saw" right next to the lava lake, a human figure was standing there. Ye Chao slowly focused his consciousness observation point at the entrance of the cave, Ye Chao was still very cautious and sober, the people who could enter here were definitely not ordinary people, not to mention that the one who came in didn't even wear a gas mask and protective clothing.
This person walked into the cave, Ye Chao found that this person was about one meter eight tall, and his skeleton was quite large, but there was a feeling of thinness, Ye Chao did not dare to stare at this person for too long, for fear of arousing his induction. Ye Chao seemed to shrink himself into the dark place next to the mud shell he formed, this person was wearing a robe with an old color, like a teacher in the Republic of China, because he didn't dare to look at each other directly, Ye Chao didn't know what the person looked like, but he still found that he had a long beard and a white beard, and he should be not young. There was a faint layer of light all over the body.
The man just glanced around the cave and found nothing unusual, and then casually picked up some fungus glowing blue under the rock wall. Then he took out a small incense burner-like thing from his body, threw the fungus into it, took out a medicine pestle, and began to pound it. When it was almost the same, the man put the incense burner in the hole where the cold air was coming out, and then took out some bottles and jars from his body and added them to the incense burner on the ground. When the last thing was thrown into the censer, a blue pillar of smoke rose from the censer, and the strange thing was that the pillar of smoke actually condensed and did not disperse.
I saw the old man pinching the trick with both hands, and the old and low incantation sound came out of his mouth, because the speed of speech was too fast and there were some accents, Ye Chao couldn't hear what he was reading, and the old man's gestures continued to change with the incantation in his mouth, and when the last incantation was finished, the old man put his upper fingers together and pointed towards the blue pillar of smoke.
"Go!" With a low shout, the blue column of smoke stood upright, and the top bend into the hole the size of a gasoline barrel.
The old man stared at the pillar of smoke closely, and from time to time he would pick a few blue fungi and add them to the incense burner, as if adding wood to the fire. After about a while, Ye Chao felt that the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a lot, and the old man also noticed the abnormality at the same time, picked up the incense burner on the ground, held it to his chest, and retreated a few steps back, leaving some distance from the hole.
"Bang dang........ From time to time, the sound of "clanging ......" was heard, like the sound of metal grinding and colliding, and like the loud sound of a tin bucket rolling down the hillside.
The sound was getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave, and just when it seemed that something was about to roll out of the hole, the sound stopped abruptly, and Ye Chao saw a huge, red ribbon emerging from the hole, and the front end of the ribbon also branched out into two branches, and the ribbon continued to expand and contract, as if exploring the way. After about a while, the sound of friction came again, and the head of a huge snake slowly came out of the hole, all the way to follow the pillar of smoke in front of the old man, and then the big snake came out little by little, the head of the snake was raised, condescending, staring at the incense burner in front of the old man, and the whole scene was still.
"It's another Jiazi time has passed, Yaqi!" The old man's tone was full of emotion!
"Yaqi, does this giant snake still have a name?" Ye Chao thought secretly.
Ye Chao saw the giant snake's golden eyes roll, and his eyelids blinked, as if in response to the old man's words.
"Could it be this old man's pet?" Ye Chao muttered in his heart, he had heard that cultivators in the past had the habit of raising mountain beasts.
"Have you figured it over, or are you going to keep it in our captivity here?" The old man's tone changed.
"We?" Ye Chao analyzed the old man's words, "Could it be that the old man is of which sect or what organization?" ”
The serpent shook its head suddenly, as if it disagreed and as if it wanted to break free from the blue smoke.
"Yagi, what's the trouble? That thing is of no use to you, why do you insist on it, every nail you change a head out, isn't there a head that is self-aware? The old man seemed to feel sorry for the serpent.
The old man's words seemed to stimulate the big snake, the snake's mouth opened, its sharp teeth flashed with cold light, and the giant swayed in all directions. The old man did not panic, but pointed to the incense burner he was holding in his chest with his fingers, and the blue smoke coming out of the incense burner suddenly became thicker, and the big snake struggled for a while, as if his strength had run out, and slowly returned to its previous appearance, and the old man confronted him like this.
"Baqi, although you have been hiding in the depths of the volcano for so many years, we have no way to take you for the time being, and every Jiazi can only rely on the "Dragon Fishing Furnace" to call you to negotiate, but I might as well tell you that we have found a way to cultivate the platinum flying sword, and when you come back next time, the "Dragon Fishing Furnace" cooperates with the flying sword, you will not be able to escape the consequences of being punished, it is better to hand over the things to me today, and I will also leave you with the hard work of cultivating in Yijiazi, maybe you will have the ability to escape here in the next Jiazi! The old man's tone became more amiable.
The giant snake seemed to hesitate, the snake's mouth opened, there was a feeling of anthropomorphic desire to speak and stop, the old man noticed the change of the giant snake, and the voice became more amiable.
"Although you are born with a different species and can cultivate by birth, how can you ever see that your race can break free from the shackles? Even your parents were destroyed by the power of heaven, and your parents didn't survive with that thing back then, so that thing was only harmful to you! ”
Under the bewitchment of the old man's words, the giant snake swung its body, as if it was about to spit out something, but at this time, its body was dragged back by some force in the cave, and the giant snake made a "Sisi" sound, as if urging the old man to help.
The old man obviously understood the request of the giant snake, and pointed to the incense burner on his chest, the originally thick blue smoke in the incense burner began to fade a little, and as soon as the smoke became lighter, the giant snake seemed to have strength, and its body arched and dragged outward, breaking free from the part that had been dragged back just now, and making a "hissing" sound from its mouth, urging it to be more anxious.
The old man also sensed that the matter had reached a critical point, pinched the trick in his hand, and took out a handkerchief from his arms.
"Hurry!" As soon as he thought of it, the handkerchief flew up and covered the incense burner at once, blocking the blue smoke in the incense burner in an instant.
As soon as the old man's handkerchief covered the incense burner, the blue smoke disappeared, and the giant snake, which had been struggling violently, suddenly opened its bloody mouth, but nothing spit out, but it bit at the old man's head like lightning.
Ye Chao, who was hiding in the shadows and peeping, never thought that the giant snake would act, and it was so realistic, from hesitation, to pretending to be pitiful, to asking for help, and then to that kind of desperate decision, all kinds of emotions are so natural and realistic, but in the end, what you were given was a blow from the huge fangs, the speed of the giant snake's attack, in Ye Chao's consciousness, leaving only an afterimage in the cave, it was not something that human beings could avoid at all, At least Ye Chao felt that even if he had practiced the third layer of the successful method now, he would not be able to dodge this killing blow.
