"Where is this?" the boy asked the simplest of questions, staring blankly at the endless darkness in which he was belonging.

This darkness is so empty that it doesn't seem to be pure darkness, but it also gives people a sense of déjà vu.

"By the way, it's exactly the same as the void of the fourth layer!" the young man suddenly realized, and looked around again: "It's just that it's more empty than the fourth layer, and what is more empty than the void?" hiss...... My head hurts, what the hell is wrong with me, my mind is blank......"

"By the way, I should be on the seventh floor of the Trial Tower, but the heavens and the earth collapsed due to the special energy devoured by the wordless book, and then I ...... What kind of place is this, could it be the eighth layer?" Ling Qingyun, who had finally come back to his senses, looked around even more suspiciously, the feeling of this darkness was really completely different from the first to seventh floors of the Trial Tower, which made him can't help but have all kinds of strange thoughts.

Suddenly, a voice came to my ears.

"It's not a Tower of Trials, it's a book. ”

"In the book?" Ling Qingyun was stunned when he heard this, and then his color changed: "Who?" As he spoke, he reached out to touch the sword on his waist, but found that his waist was empty, and he couldn't help but feel tight, and he reached behind him, and the cold and hard touch started, he was slightly relieved, the pitch-black scabbard was held in the palm of his hand, he looked at the source of the sound, but he was stunned.

"You ......"

The speaker stood in front of Ling Qingyun, the distance between them seemed to be less than a foot, and it seemed to be thousands of miles away, but Ling Qingyun could see this young man clearly from head to toe, he was dressed in a green shirt, smiling, but his appearance and temperament were no different from himself!

For a moment, Ling Qingyun remembered the experience of the sixth layer, could it be that he was reliving the past again? No, this young man, this self is exactly the same age as his current self, and his cultivation aura seems to be the same, this is by no means a retrospective, is it the kind of illusion of the legendary duel with himself?

"Your nonsense is not on point, you have said that this is not a trial tower. The young man who was exactly the same as Ling Qingyun smiled helplessly.

"Not in the Trial Tower, but in the book?No, how do you know what I think?" Ling Qingyun was suddenly startled, looking at this young man whose appearance was no different from his own, and the feeling of being completely looked through as if he was being watched by purple pupils came to his heart again, but the horror brought by this young man was even more terrifying than Song Xin.

How can you see through the moves, but how can you compare to mind reading? This is equivalent to exposing all your secrets to the other party!

"Because I'm you—though I intend to say so, I can't afford to look at this face, and you've guessed that this space is inside the wordless book, and I'm a spirit born from the wordless book. The boy replied, his expression as melancholy as if he were a little delighted.

Ling Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "Are you the instrument spirit of this wordless book?"

Everything has spirituality, and so are utensils, on the Qinghe Continent, there are some magic weapons that can understand the master's will, often able to exert amazing power, and in the legend, the higher-level spiritual weapons can even give birth to a machine spirit with wisdom and independent thinking ability, although there is no evidence to confirm, but there are many people who believe that the power of legends and myths should have such magical powers.

Ling Qingyun has always attached great importance to this wordless book hidden in his consciousness, and he has continuously strengthened his strength through the wordless book, but he feels more and more that this wordless book is infinitely mysterious, even if the overall situation arranged by the Mingyue monk and the trial tower are far from being comparable to it, so he is not surprised that the wordless book has a machine spirit.

It's just that why does this machine spirit look exactly like himself?

"I'm not a machine spirit. The boy replied, "This wordless book is too deep and unfathomable, and I really have no qualifications to admit it." ”

"I am you, or a part of you. ”

The dark space suddenly fell silent.

Holding the pitch-black scabbard that has accompanied him since childhood, looking at the young man in a green shirt with the same appearance as himself, Ling Qingyun's eyes flickered, yes, from his appearance to demeanor, and even his habitual movements, tone of speech, etc., he was exactly the same as himself, the only difference was that he did not have this pitch-black scabbard.

Hearing the other party's self-described identity, Ling Qingyun's first feeling was surprise, and then it was not surprise, but deep vigilance.

Song Xin just said that an evil personality was born in his body possessed by the Purple Soul Source, and he was inducing him to fall into the Demon Dao all the time, and trying to seize his body and occupy the dominance of the will.

Who knows, if this rather polite-looking teenager is the same evil personality? If so, then the two sides are undying enemies!

"What a terrible gaze!" The young man couldn't help but be helpless, clearly jealous of Ling Qingyun and even his killing intent, but he looked directly into Ling Qingyun's eyes and said very seriously: "I won't harm you, even if I want to, I don't have the ability." ”

Ling Qingyun didn't say a word, waiting for this sudden appearance of another self and a confession.

"Please rest assured, I am not the kind of evil personality that eroded Song Xin, or rather, it is not a personality. The boy spoke: "I have your memories, your thoughts, but they have been split from you, I am an independent consciousness, but not an independent person. ”

"Because I was born in this space of the book, just a spirit without a shell, and I can't even leave this space. The young man said: "So you don't have to worry that I will take you away, I don't have this ability at all, on the contrary, I will do my best to assist you, because my fate is closely related to you, if you die, even if I don't die, I will probably be buried forever in this endless dark space in the book." "How can I believe you?" Ling Qingyun said in a deep voice after hearing the young man's unbelievable explanation.

"You can read the wordless book as you normally would, I am the person in the book, everything is written in the book, you can see where I came from, what I think, so you can understand whether I am deceiving you. The boy said.

Ling Qingyun's face softened slightly, he nodded at the young man with his sword scabbard, and according to the method he said, he made the wordless book show the target he wanted to search, but he didn't expect this scene to be directly presented in this dark space, turning into a scene of wandering flowers.

In this picture, Ling Qingyun saw himself who opened the wordless book for the first time, and at that time he formed a vague connection with the wordless book, and the subsequent scene was that Ling Qingyun flipped through various books and experienced various events, in which the memories and thoughts were turned into a torrent of information and merged into the wordless book like a rainbow, and a seed was formed when the rainbow was shining, and gradually grew with the continuous influx of information.

During this period, Ling Qingyun found that there was a very special energy that continued to pour into his body and the wordless book, this was the special energy he had just seen, it turned out that this special energy also existed in the ordinary environment, but it was far thinner than the seventh layer of the Trial Tower, and it was usually only slightly integrated into Ling Qingyun's body to form a subtle influence, but on the Bright Moon Spirit Gathering Array, Ling Qingyun absorbed a large amount of special energy without knowing it, and it was at that time that the seed gradually condensed into a villain, and became more and more lifelike with the increase of special energy。

At this time, the little man seemed to have some consciousness, and made movements and babble as different messages poured in.

On the seventh floor of the Trial Tower, the villain who once again entered the special energy-rich environment showed a strong desire, and with the help of the wordless book, he absorbed a large amount of special energy, and finally made the villain completely transform into a human - and became the young man in front of him.

He was a spirit reproduced based on Ling Qingyun's thoughts and memories, which had just been born in the world, and as he said, his thoughts and thoughts were presented in the book—together with Ling Qingyun's own thoughts and memories.

Ling Qingyun couldn't help but groan, he had full confidence in the wordless book, but he didn't believe that the other party could forge the wordless book, unless the other party was the instrument spirit of the wordless book, but if the wordless book spirit must have monstrous power, there was no need to deceive him.

"I'm sorry, but I'm suspicious. Ling Qingyun clenched his fists at the young man and said solemnly, as long as he was not an enemy, even if the other party was just a copy of himself, he was willing to maintain enough respect.

"How dare you, you are the body, it is understandable that you want to make me disappear!" The young man also hurriedly responded with his fists, the two of them looked exactly the same, such a fist-hugging conversation was really a bit weird and funny, Ling Qingyun couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay, since we are one, there is no need for so many courtesies." ”

"According to the ontology. The boy smiled: "The main body is wondering why he is in this book space?"

"How can I hide my thoughts from you?" Ling Qingyun couldn't help but laugh, he had already learned that the wordless secretary had written all his thoughts, and this clone relied on the existence of the wordless book, and all his perceptions of the outside world also came from Ling Qingyun's own information, so he would receive Ling Qingyun's thoughts and thoughts every moment, and he knew his psychology well.

On the other hand, the thoughts of this doppelganger were all recorded in the wordless book, and Ling Qingyun could also know about them directly, but for him, this required to consume his mind, and he didn't need to snoop if he didn't have to, which was different from the doppelganger's idea that he had to receive in real time.

From this point of view, there is no secret between the ontology and the doppelganger, and the doppelganger knows the ontology better, but the doppelganger is subject to the ontology after all.

"If you tell me the truth, then I'll tell you. The doppelganger smiled slightly: "The main body is why it appears here, it should be a reward from the wordless book." ”

"Reward?" Ling Qingyun was slightly puzzled.

"Yes, rewards. The doppelganger nodded: "Although I have just been born, I directly learned all the knowledge of the wordless book when I was born, and because I was born here, I had an epiphany, and my understanding of this wordless book is still above the ontology." ”

"You also know, this wordless book is infinitely mysterious, unfathomable, according to my inference, the ability of this wordless book is far more than just recording information and deriving exercises, it is a huge treasure, but also a holy relic with infinite power, only if you become stronger can its new ability be developed, the space in this book is the new ability that you open after you make the wordless book absorb enough aura, and it is also my shelter, this is a spiritual space with a different speed of time from the outside world, and it must be the reward of the wordless book to transfer your consciousness in, and it is not so easy to get in in the future。 Its function has not been reflected for the time being, and I will study it slowly, but I think it is related to the exercise of mental power and further extension. The doppelganger spoke, his eyes shining with wisdom.

"Aura?Is that special energy?" Ling Qingyun was taken aback, Heaven and Earth Aura, who hasn't heard of it?

"Not bad!" The doppelganger nodded and smiled: "People in the world practice, all of them absorb the aura of heaven and earth, but they don't know what the aura is, some people think that aura is the energy and elements of heaven and earth, but simple energy and elements, how can they make the grass, trees, birds and beasts cultivate into refinement?"

"The real aura is the aura of spiritual wisdom, the qi of wisdom, absorbing the aura is a process of enhancing wisdom, understanding, spirit and soul, but it is too difficult for ordinary monks to feel the existence of the aura, they can only ignorantly introduce the aura while cultivating the power, and the grass, trees, birds and beasts can only absorb the aura by instinct, often only the best luck can 'become a refinement', only when you reach the realm of reija, can you really clearly feel the existence of the aura and make use of it, and go further, it is the spiritual realm that transcends mortal life. The doppelganger said: "It is precisely because the aura is so magical that I can make pure memory, thoughts, and knowledge become my independent consciousness out of nothing, and of course this is inseparable from the magic of the wordless book." ”

"Did you realize this?" Ling Qingyun looked at his doppelganger in surprise, and the latter just smiled: "The first thing I did when I was born was to think about why I was born, and I figured out this mystery thoroughly, although it may not be accurate, but it is the most reasonable explanation I have come up with. ”

Ling Qingyun nodded, this doppelganger originated from his thoughts, so his personality and thinking pattern were exactly the same as him, since he had deduced this result, it meant that if he thought about it himself, he would most likely reach this answer, but it would take more time.

"Ontology. Seeing Ling Qingyun's thoughtful expression, the clone suddenly spoke: "I don't know, can I have a name?"

Hearing this, Ling Qingyun was slightly stunned, and then understood the idea of the doppelganger, he wanted to prove that he was an independent existence, which also showed that although he was from Ling Qingyun, he was a different existence from Ling Qingyun, and he would never have the intention of taking away the invasion.

"Naturally. So Ling Qingyun smiled and nodded: "You have your own will, your own mission, and your own meaning of existence, as long as you are willing, you can naturally have your own name, I don't know how you plan to name it?"

"My source is the ontology, and naturally I should follow the surname of the ontology, Ling. After all, if there is no ancestor of the Ling family, there is no body, and naturally there can be no existence of me. The doppelganger smiled slightly: "As for the name, I want to ask the ontology to bestow it." ”

"Give a name?" Ling Qingyun was stunned: "You can choose for yourself." ”

"A man's surname is handed down from his parents, and his name is given by his parents, and although I am not a man, I am willing to follow it. To me, the body can also be said to have the grace of my parents. The clone spoke solemnly, hearing this, Ling Qingyun thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Your prototype was conceived in the Bright Moon Spirit Gathering Array, and you are also a spirit body......" Ling Qingyun groaned: "How about your name, how about being called Moon Spirit?"
