Chapter 169: Retrospective, Psychic Space

Heavenly arithmetic.

When these four words came out of Ye Shuang's mouth, Ye Shuang raised his head and continued to maintain the posture of lying down as a salted fish, but that little expression was about to overflow, and he looked like I wanted to see you shocked.

But the result was not as Ye Shuang thought.

Ye Shuang cocked her feet, and was about to admire it, but she was greeted by two blank faces.

It's just that the black woman is at a loss, after all, she has always maintained this posture and expression, and she looks dazed when she sees anyone, except for when she sees Zhou An, she will have a few more emotions.

But Zhou An's dazedness made Ye Shuang a little confused.

Ye Shuang instantly put down her delicate feet like a frosted cabbage, and said in a very exaggerated tone: "Don't you feel surprised? ”

Zhou An's blank eyes recovered, then he looked at the woman in black and said, "Tongtian arithmetic, eight stunts, just her?" ”

There was no surprise in the tone, just an unlikely emotion.

Ye Shuang opened her slender and white hand and compared it to a large amplitude: "It's her, it's her!" She is one of the eight stunts of the heavenly arithmetic, known as the strongest defense of the eight stunts, counting the sky, counting the earth, counting her own powerful skills! ”

She thought that Zhou An didn't believe it, and explained it in detail.

But Zhou An was still the same, and he also took out the cold marrow knife from his arms.

Now, the Cold Crystal Knife is outdated, and it has long been upgraded by him to the Cold Marrow Knife with the materials given by the emperor, even the frying pan, and the soft armor he wears has also been uniformly upgraded.

After pulling out the cold marrow knife, Zhou An did not hesitate and slashed out.

In a daze, the woman in black was split in half, and then turned into a shadow, constantly distorted, and re-condensed, looking at Zhou An with a strange gaze.

This little expression seemed to tell Zhou An that I didn't make a mistake, and what did I do.

Zhou An put the knife back into the sheath and said: "This defense is not strong, but the recovery ability is relatively strong, how can it be regarded as Tongtian arithmetic?" ”

Although Zhou An was very curious about the origin of the woman in black, he always felt that the eight stunts of giving the woman in black an arithmetic to heaven did not seem to be in line with the usual situation of the woman in black.

Of course, the woman in black is really evil, and even such a thing as condensing the eight stunts at the beginning can appear.

Ye Shuang was also stunned, opened her mouth wide, and said in an incredible tone: "You two usually get along like this?" ”

She couldn't believe it.

When you say you pull out a knife, you pull out a knife, and when you say you cut it, you cut it, and the woman in black still looks very used to it.

Ye Shuang now seriously suspects that the way these two get along is a bit strange, maybe every day is the relationship between cutting and being cut.

Of course, doubt is doubt, and what should be said is still to be said.

Ye Shuang then explained: "The so-called Tongtian arithmetic is a powerful method of divination, in fact, the Daomen will also use the method of divination, but the things that the Daomen learn are very miscellaneous, and all kinds of spells have to be learned, so when it comes to who is more professional in this subject, Tongtian arithmetic is the most professional." ”

"They can count the sky, the earth, and the past and present lives, and because they know this powerful arithmetic, they have a strong advantage in defense."

Saying that, Ye Shuang also gave an example.

"For example, if you lift your knife and slash at someone who knows how to do arithmetic, then the moment you lift the knife, Tongtian arithmetic has already counted all your next attack methods, and can dodge at full speed when you attack, which is why it can be called the strongest defense."

Zhou An heard this, then looked at the woman in black again, and repeated the previous words: "It's really not like it, this is by hiding, obviously by recovery." ”

He was still a little unconvinced.

Ye Shuang saw that Zhou An still didn't believe it, so she really had no choice but to carry her teacher out: "This is what my teacher said, what he said...... It should be credible. ”

According to the past, Ye Shuang would remove the two words "should", but at this time, she still felt that these two words had been added.

Because she felt that Zhou An didn't believe it, then it was a little possible.

Ye Shuang's thoughts, if the national teacher knew about it, the national teacher would have to jump up and point at Ye Shuang and say wildly.

The apprentice who raised his own family didn't even believe in himself at this time, and he was speechless.

"Okay, then I believe for the time being, she can do arithmetic all over the sky, but what does it have to do with her going to Fuhu Villa?" Zhou An asked.

Now that he has said this, in fact, Zhou An has already come to the interest, and he feels that if he really has anything to do with the woman in black, he still wants to go and see it.

After all, this woman in black is by her side like a dog skin plaster, although there is no harm to herself, and the two of them usually live here, and they have long been used to it, but to figure out the identity of the woman in black, Zhou An feels necessary.

But before we get to that, we have to ask what the connection is.

Ye Shuang lowered her head, thought for a while, and then organized her language, and then said: "The teacher said, if she really knows how to do arithmetic, then her encounter with you is definitely not as simple as a coincidence." ”

"To use a very simple analogy, a person who knows the best divination method in the world, every step of his journey will be achieved through the method of divination, including meeting you."

"Maybe it was when she was unknown that she carried out divination, and finally there was an encounter between you and her, including some of the experiences in the Secret Gathering, which were also achieved through divination."

"To be clear, her every step is carefully choreographed, but we don't know her purpose."

Zhou An nodded in agreement.

If you really know how to do arithmetic, if you don't meet yourself, it is likely to be the result of divination.

Of course, what he wanted to know more now was what Fuhu Villa had to do with the woman in black.

After Ye Shuang explained this, he also said the ultimate purpose: "Actually, the teacher is not sure whether it has anything to do with it, but this time, the old owner of Fuhu Villa and the situation of Fuhu Villa, the teacher suspects that the old owner of Fuhu Villa had a problem when he broke through the psychic realm, or that he touched something that should not be touched when he broke through the psychic realm." ”

The psychic realm is the realm of the people in the walk.

This realm is after the innate realm.

Zhou An has understood.

The book given by the emperor also describes it.

The so-called psychic realm is the next realm when the innate realm reaches its peak.

The innate realm is about making Qi's purity reach an extreme, and at the same time it has the power of endless life.

The Psychic Realm, on the other hand, no longer focuses on the purity and endless growth of Qi, and is transformed into another way of cultivation, that is, the soul.

Of course, in the process of cultivating the soul, it will also enhance the purity and endless power of Qi.

As for why you want to cultivate the soul, it is actually very simple, after reaching the psychic realm, the strength of Qi will have a strong increase.

In the process of ascension, the soul power of the innate realm cannot control Qi.

If you continue to practice your own qi, then you will lose control, and once you get out of control, you will suffer immeasurable dangers.

may blow himself up and die, and the lightest is all the kung fu that scatters his body and becomes an ordinary person.

No one wants all their cultivation achievements to fall short, so soul power is a major in the psychic realm.

And the soul power cultivated in the psychic realm, when it first enters the psychic realm, it will enter an indescribable space.

This kind of space is known as a psychic space.

In the space, there are endless soul storms that can have a terrible impact on the soul.

And the way of cultivation is to use the storm of the soul to temper the soul power.

The more tempered, the stronger the power of the soul, the more Qi can be controlled, and the better the effect will be.

In the psychic space, crises are everywhere because there are a lot of unknowns here.

However, if you cultivate carefully, then you can resolve a large part of the crisis.

And some people are not willing to be able to improve at that turtle speed, so in the process of tempering soul power, they explore the unknown existence in the psychic space.

No one can figure out why the psychic space exists, but once you reach that realm, you can explore it there.

There may be outrageous things, but because of exploration, they will be greatly improved on the edge of life and death, and even make their soul strength much stronger than others.

The stronger the soul strength, the more handy the Qi will be, and the stronger the combat power will be.

What Ye Shuang said just now was that when the old owner of Fuhu Mountain Villa broke through the psychic realm, he explored the unknowable existence, which caused the final result.

But the entire Fuhu Villa has been destroyed, and there is something strange in it.

And Zhou An also found a blind spot.

"You mean to say that the psychic space in the psychic realm has something to do with her?" Zhou An pointed to the blank woman in black next to him and asked.

"It's just a suspicion." Ye Shuang said: "And this suspicion is not confirmed, but Zhou An knows, even if there is a trace of suspicion, you have to verify it, what if you can see her life experience?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou An touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about whether this trip was worth it or not, especially if it was clear, and this matter also had something to do with the national teacher.

To be honest, he has not yet met with these top figures of the Great Chu State, or has the idea of association.

The meeting with Father-in-law Wei at the beginning was a coincidence, and Father-in-law Wei took the initiative to come, so Zhou An naturally took this contact.

But now, there is another person who has a connection with him, and he is still the national teacher of the dynasty, Zhou An feels that things here are becoming more and more complicated.

After all, these people are all old yinbi, they have lived longer than themselves, and they have eaten salt and crossed more bridges than themselves.

Zhou An is not an arrogant person, even if he has a golden finger, he has always been cautious and cautious.

The ascension along the way, including all kinds of battles, is also to eradicate all risks and allow yourself to be in a more stable environment.

If you join this matter, it will bring some unpredictable effects, and Zhou An feels that he simply throws it aside and doesn't care about it.

But......

Zhou An turned his head, looked at the woman in black, and remembered what Ye Shuang said just now.

If the woman in black is really the heir of Tongtian arithmetic, then the meeting between herself and the woman in black may have been settled by the woman in black.

What role do you play in this?

As the old saying goes, if faced with an unstable environment and factors, Zhou An will choose to take the initiative to sweep away all obstacles, so that he can be in a stable environment again and continue to be proficient.

Thinking of this, Zhou An made a decision.

"When are you leaving?"

Since you want to explore the secret of the woman in black, then let's take a trip.

If you figure out what happened, if it's good for you, then don't care.

If there is harm to himself, Zhou An will do whatever it takes to smooth out the badness.

Ye Shuang saw Zhou An agree, her face was full of joy and joy, and then she tidied up her clothes and put the veil on her face: "Let's go now, the road is far away, and it will take some time for us to rush over, but fortunately, you are the shopkeeper here, and there is nothing to do, and we don't have to think about Fenglin Prefecture back and forth." ”

Zhou An looked like you slandered me: "You can't talk nonsense, I'm not a shopkeeper, I'm here to coordinate the overall situation, you know, I look like a person who eats empty salaries, am I this kind of person?" ”

Anyway, although we are the shopkeeper, we can't say it clearly, otherwise what will others think of us?

Ye Shuang looked at Zhou An with a very strange look and said, "But everyone knows about you being the shopkeeper, and the teacher also said that you are having a good life." ”

"This is slander!" Zhou An emphasized very seriously.

Ye Shuang looked innocent and stirred her fingers: "And my uncle also said that if you are a shopkeeper here, you will encounter danger from time to time, so it is better to take you to the capital, and everyone will protect you well, so that you can improve yourself in a stable environment." ”

"It's a pity, Grandpa Wei and my teacher disagree, they say that a strong person needs to continue to experience in danger."

"What!" Zhou An stood up directly: "Did Yuan Qingyi really say that?" ”

Ye Shuang nodded affirmatively: "Uncle Shi said, if he hadn't been able to beat Father-in-law Wei, he would have forcibly taken you away and taken you to the capital to protect you well, but it's a pity, after saying this, he was carried by the teacher and chased and beaten everywhere, so he gave up this matter." ”

When Zhou An heard this, he almost made a thumping movement and shouted that Gonggong Wei misunderstood me.

Yuan Qingyi's idea may indeed cause the possibility of lack of experience for others, but it is a good thing for himself.

He wants to have a stable environment!

But now, that idea has failed?

According to this rhythm, Yuan Qingyi can't beat Gonggong Wei, nor can he beat the national teacher, and the idea of wanting to hug his thighs is gone.

"Regret, I regret it so much, why was I confused in the first place, and I had to promise Grandpa Wei's thing!" Zhou Anxin was helpless.

Of course, the matter has come to this point, and Zhou An didn't think about these things anymore.

Now that he has made a decision, he can set off early, solve the matter early, and be able to come back sooner.

After making up his mind, Zhou An asked Ye Shuang to lead the way.

Ye Shuang didn't say anything, when the two of them walked out of the door, they regained their cold and deserted appearance again, and soon, they walked towards the outside of Fenglin Prefecture.

……

This way, it was the past to investigate Fuhu Villa, so they did not take a carriage, but walked alone.

Fortunately, the speed is not slow, after all, they are all first-class masters, and the speed of the journey is not known how much faster than the carriage.

Zhou An is moving forward with a dragon step.

Ye Shuang was more bells and whistles, and used two pieces of rune paper to stick on her slender thighs, and her speed was not slower than Zhou An's.

As for the woman in black, she has been pulling Zhou An since she came out, and her way of hurrying is also very strange.

As long as she was more than two meters away from Zhou An, she would automatically return to Zhou An, so the woman in black didn't use any means to hurry, just stood in place blankly.

disappeared from time to time, and reappeared next to Zhou An, making it very evil.

Combined with the forbidden beauty of the woman in black, the strength of the evil sect became more and more rushed.

……

It was smooth along the way.

When the three of them came to Fuhu Mountain, which was hundreds of miles away from Fenglin Prefecture, Zhou An narrowed his eyes and looked at it.

The mountain is very high, not a notch higher than the surroundings.

After all, this was once a hill to which a big force belonged, so the location chosen was naturally very good.

The mountain is not only high, but also steep and wooded.

In this daytime, it looks like a mountain.

After coming here, the speed of several people slowed down.

Zhou An and Ye Shuang walked side by side, while the woman in black took Zhou An's hand and looked around curiously.

It was also the first time for her to go so far away, she had been following Zhou An before, playing everywhere in Fenglin Prefecture, this time her curiosity was about to explode, and she felt quite fresh to see everything.

While walking, Zhou An was still chatting with Ye Shuang.

"The people of the town are gone, and now it's an empty mountain villa?" Zhou An asked.

Ye Shuang nodded, and replied coldly: "It's empty." ”

Even if there is no one now, Ye Shuang maintains that cold and lonely appearance for the sake of insurance.

Zhou An was naturally accustomed to Ye Shuang's state, and asked again: "If the Zhenwei Division doesn't cooperate with you, won't you come?" ”

Although the Supervision Department is involved in this matter, in general, it should be a matter for the Suppression Division.

This week, An couldn't figure out why he didn't even cooperate.

After all, no matter how you say it, you have to come here.

And if you want to talk about the relationship between primary and secondary, the Supervision Department is here to cooperate.

Ye Shuang shook his head and said: "Because this is what the teacher meant, he chatted with the general secretary for a while, and then the general director agreed, let us come over and have a look first." ”

"I see." Zhou An figured it out.

This matter is two of the three powerful ministers of the Great Chu State, and they have already communicated with each other.

After asking the ins and outs of the matter, Zhou An didn't say much and continued to bury his head in the road.

Eventually, they came to a huge building.

This is only the outermost mountain gate, and this mountain gate alone is built with great grandeur.

Along the mountain gate, there is a series of artificially built stone steps, neat and smooth, and it seems that it took a lot of thought.

And above this, there is a plaque that reads the words Fuhu Villa.

It didn't take long for the destruction of Fuhu Villa to happen, so the brand still looks like new.

Obviously, it is also often taken care of before the door is destroyed.

A few people walked along the mountain gate, all the way up, and soon, they came to a huge complex of buildings.

"It's really rich." Zhou An looked at the buildings in front of him and sighed.

The buildings in front of you, one after another, are lined up one after another, and the pattern of construction is very particular, and you can see at a glance that it is from the hands of masters.

"It was supposed to be lively, but unfortunately, now it's silent."

Ye Shuang came to the door, pushed the door open, and said, "The things inside have not been moved, including all the traces, just for us to investigate." ”

As the gate was pushed open, inside the gate, there was a huge courtyard, and inside the courtyard, there were blood stains everywhere.

Since a lot of time has passed, the bloodstains are not fresh for a long time, and they are dark and brown, and they have dried up.

Zhou An followed in, and then took out the cold marrow knife from the pink money bag.

After all, it's coming to a special environment, so it's important to be vigilant.

Although Zhou An is strong, he is a cautious person, and he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter.

When I used to watch TV series, I encountered a scene where the protagonist group accidentally caused a catastrophe.

This kind of thing doesn't exist with him.

Ye Shuang also walked in, still talking: "This force has always supported the Great Chu State, and this time there is such a big thing, and the Zhen Wei Division is also very anxious, so I really want to solve it immediately, but I don't have a clue at the moment, I can only look at our methods." ”

As he spoke, Ye Shuang took out a large handful of rune paper from his arms, selected them one by one in front of Zhou An, and finally selected five of them.

From the moment he entered this courtyard, Zhou An felt a little uncomfortable.

It's not those bloodstains, after all, he is also a person who is used to seeing all kinds of life and death scenes, and he has long been used to bloody scenes.

He felt that this Fuhu Mountain Villa was always a little cold, and compared with the outside, the temperature inside had dropped a lot.

Zhou An tried to operate the Qi in his body and cast the Eye of Delusion, but he didn't find anything abnormal, and he didn't see anyone sneaking around.

"The air conditioner seems to only cover the area of Fuhu Villa, what do you want to do now?" Zhou An saw Ye Shuang take out the rune paper and asked.

Ye Shuang turned his head and raised the talisman paper in his hand: "This is given to me by the teacher, it is called the retrospective talisman, which can make a place where what happened before appear, and you can see how Fuhu Villa was destroyed." ”

"And this kind of good thing, give me two." Zhou An stretched out his hand and asked Ye Shuang without hesitation.

Ye Shuang shook his head: "I also want to give it to you, but I can't give it, only when I reach the innate realm, I can practice it, and the object of the return is also related to my strength, the teacher made it very precious, and he didn't give me more." ”

"I see, forget it." Zhou An withdrew his hand, not feeling sorry for not arriving at all.

"Then how do you start, just burn it?"

Since it can go back to the previous scene, it must have a significant effect on unlocking the secrets of Fuhu Villa.

Ye Shuang pointed to the surroundings of Fuhu Villa and said, "Let's paste this rune paper to the four corners of the villa, and then I will hold the last one and light it, and we will be able to see it." ”

After speaking, in order to seize the time, Ye Shuang began to take the lead.

Zhou An followed behind with a cold marrow knife.

There were no accidents in the whole process, for example, a monster or an enemy popped up, and it went smoothly, and the rune paper was pasted on the four corners of Fuhu Villa.

To be honest, Zhou An felt that this villa was too big, and it took a lot of time just to paste this rune paper.

After doing all this, the two returned to the courtyard, and then Ye Shuang raised the talisman paper in his hand, and without the slightest hesitation, he used the Qi in his body.

The next moment, the rune paper burned without wind and turned into ashes in the sky.

Immediately afterward, a special sight appeared in front of me.

The surrounding buildings, the sky, and even the ground began to blur, as if someone had put a mosaic on it, and it was impossible to see clearly, and it was impossible to see really.

Even with Zhou An's delusional eyes, only a trace could be seen.

But fortunately, this scene disappeared quickly, and when the mosaic gradually became clear, Zhou An saw that the sky at this moment had changed from day to night.

As soon as he wanted to speak, Ye Shuang next to him spoke, still looking cold.

"It's an illusion from before, don't worry about it."

Zhou An nodded, indicating that he understood, but still looked around curiously.

At night, Fuhu Villa was still heavily guarded, and even in this courtyard, there were many disciples standing at the gate.

"It seems to be okay here, since the problem came from the old owner first, you might as well go to that place to have a look." Zhou An said.

The two did not stop, and followed the courtyard into the inner courtyard.

I didn't encounter anything along the way, and I found the old owner's room smoothly.

As for how to find it, it's actually quite simple.

The most atmospheric and luxurious room is naturally inhabited by the most distinguished people.

When the two of them came to the door of the room, Ye Shuang naturally stepped in, as if passing through a false wall.

Zhou An felt quite amazing, because he had seen very few of the methods of these qi refiners.

After entering the room, Zhou An also looked at the huge room.

At this moment, there was only one old man about sixty years old in the room.

The old man was dressed in silk and satin, but it was not the posture of an old man.

The body is strong and muscular, and even in this outfit, it looks like a mountain.

Especially on the hands, they are covered with thick calluses.

The most striking thing is that there is a scar on the old man's face, from the corner of the left eyebrow to the right side of the chin, adding a bit of ferocity.

Ye Shuang said: "The people of Fuhu Villa are all practicing the school of exercises, and their so-called exercises are the methods of horizontal practice, so the kung fu in their hands and on their bodies are very strong. ”

Zhou An nodded and looked patiently.

At this moment, the old man was sitting at the table and raising a glass to drink.

Although the movements were smooth, it was difficult to hide the depth in his eyes, as if something had not yet been solved.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a female voice came from outside the door.

"Owner, you've already brought everything you wanted."

Hearing this voice, the old farmer put down the wine glass in his hand and said in a low tone: "Just put it outside, you can retreat first." ”

"Yes, owner."

Outside the door, there was an answer, and soon, the footsteps gradually faded away.

At this time, the old farmer stood up, and then came to the door and opened it.

Outside the door, there is a wooden box, which looks unremarkable.

The old owner did not linger much outside the door, but carried the wooden box into the house and closed the door with his hand.

The wooden box was more than half a person tall and looked like it was heavy enough.

At this time, there was only one old farmer left in the house.

The old owner did not hesitate and opened the wooden box, revealing the contents of it.

Zhou An glanced at it, and then raised his eyebrows slightly.

Inside the wooden box, there are all kinds of books, some of which look old and look like they will turn into a pile of dust when touched.

The old farmer picked up one of them and looked through it carefully.

Due to the angle problem, the cover of the book is facing Zhou An's side.

Zhou An came to the back like a leisurely walk and looked at the words on the book.

Ye Shuang also followed behind Zhou An, also bending down to look.

Soon, the two of them finished reading the book.

They looked at each other, and they couldn't hide the surprise in their eyes.

What is written in this book is actually about various encounters in the psychic realm.

And the author of this book should be a master of the psychic realm, listing some of the things encountered in the psychic realm one by one.

Some people will write all the things they encounter in the psychic realm into a book, so that future generations can watch it, which can be regarded as an experience.

But Zhou An looks at the current rhythm, and the wooden boxes should be similar books.

Sure enough, this night, the old farmer was looking at the books in the wooden box.

And the content in the book is also about various things encountered in the psychic space.

Zhou An and Ye Shuang were beside them, and they had a lot of knowledge.

"He should want to learn from the experience, so that he can gain something in it." Zhou An said.

Ye Shuang nodded: "Its usefulness is not much, everyone's encounter in the psychic realm, there are very few similarities, many of them in the space are random, and so far, the probability of similarity is too rare." ”

This is true, but if you want to reach the psychic realm from the innate realm, it is actually beneficial to see and understand more like the old owner.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to make a fortune.

"Keep watching." Zhou An felt that the mystery was about to be solved.

And then it went on for many days.

Until one day, the old owner finally finished reading all the books.

After reading it, the old owner got up and went to a secret room in Fuhu Villa.

Zhou An and Ye Shuang naturally followed.

The chamber is large and secretive.

If you don't have a letter from Fuhu Villa, you can't come in.

And it's full of dangers, full of all kinds of hidden passages.

The good thing is that they are in this hallucination-like scene, so these things have no effect on them.

In the secret room, there was a huge stone bed, and after the old owner came in, he sat directly on the stone bed, and then began to impact the psychic realm.

A soul power emanated from the old owner's body, and soon, it filled this secret room.

Since it was the soul that entered the psychic space, Zhou An and Ye Shuang couldn't see anything strange.

The whole process probably took many more days.

In the past few days, the retrospective charm cast by Ye Shuang has also begun to accelerate.

In the words of Ye Shuang, time is not equal.

Even if a long time has passed in the retrospective charm, there is not much time in the outside world.

Everything has been normal in the past few days, and there has been no abnormal situation, but Zhou An feels wrong.

The spiritual bonus provided to him by reading the hundred scrolls made him feel that the soul power that filled this secret room gradually became extremely intense.

When the soul power is intense to a certain level, it finally reaches a limit.

And the old farmer, who had been closed, opened his eyes, and his calm face became extremely crazy.

(End of chapter)
