Chapter 127: Three Thousand Forks in the Road and Three Thousand Worlds
Liu Changsheng and Hu Jiao followed Uncle Chen's guidance and entered Bai Yujing side by side.
As usual, before entering Bai Yujing, there is a long tunnel.
The tunnel was poorly lit, with only a few red lanterns in the tunnel faintly glowing from candles in the distance.
The tunnel is wide, and the candlelight of a few lanterns that appears from time to time does not do much at all.
And inside the tunnel, for some reason, the wind is blowing in all directions, and the red lanterns are constantly shaking in the wind. As a result, the light is very unstable.
If you don't keep an eye on your feet, sometimes you can't even see the road clearly.
One of the reasons why Liu Changsheng has never liked to come to Bai Yujing is because of this broken tunnel.
Liu Changsheng followed the old man a few times when he was a child, and every time he walked in this dark and long tunnel, he felt hairy.
And my heart is very uncomfortable, and I always feel like my chest is being pressed by something, and I can't breathe.
If you say that when you came here before, there was still a faint feeling.
As soon as he entered the tunnel today, he actually felt the oppressive feeling of this compulsion. From the moment he stepped into the tunnel, his chest felt like a thousand pounds of boulder was crushed.
And this sense of repression became more obvious as Liu Changsheng strengthened his physical body to cover the spirit queen. Liu Changsheng's spirit covered more, and the stronger the sense of depression.
Liu Changsheng knew that this was the old man's method, and he had a hard time with it, and he didn't have a trace of it at all.
Liu Changsheng immediately dispersed all the spirits from his body. Sure enough, as soon as Liu Changsheng's soul dispersed, the suffocating sense of depression immediately weakened. Returning to the feeling of depression I had when I came here before.
Liu Changsheng did not give up, and tried to superimpose the spirit on his five senses. He was very careful this time, the speed of spirit stacking was quite slow, and it was stacking little by little. Every time he reached a value he set, he stopped.
Sure enough, as he expected, the prohibition in the tunnel didn't seem to have a special reaction to his strengthening of his five senses. As the five senses became stronger and stronger, the sense of depression did not increase in the slightest. Maintain that sense of being there.
After Liu Changsheng's five senses were strengthened, there were actually countless murals on the inner wall of the tunnel.
These murals don't seem to be static, and the characters and scenery inside are constantly changing.
Liu Chang stared at these murals to the death, trying to see what was on them. But the content on the mural changed so quickly that he couldn't see it clearly with his eyes.
Liu Changsheng wanted to open his third eye to see more clearly, but he thought of what happened on the red brick wall outside the door.
He immediately dispelled this idea, relying on his own little cultivation, repeatedly testing the things arranged by the old man was simply too long.
Liu Changsheng withdrew all the spirits into his own spirits, and there was no trace of spirits exposed all over his body, just like when there were no spirits before.
Hu Jiao, who has been sticking to Liu Changsheng's side, also felt very bad from the beginning of entering the tunnel. Her spirit has been awakened for a longer time, and she has long been accustomed to maintaining the protection of her whole body spirit anytime and anywhere. So as soon as she entered the tunnel, she felt like she had been hammered in the chest.
Fortunately, she had some experience with the prohibition of this spirit, and immediately dispersed the spirit. However, she was not used to this feeling of not being protected by spirits, especially even if all the spirits were gone, she could still feel a sense of depression in the tunnel.
And this sense of depression is very unfriendly, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, which makes people always feel a sense of non-stop.
Hu Jiao didn't like this feeling very much, and after walking a few steps, her hand unconsciously grabbed the corner of Liu Changsheng's clothes.
Liu Changsheng turned around and showed a smile, signaling her not to be nervous. Hu Jiao nodded and gave Liu Changsheng a smile, but her right hand kept clenching into a fist, and the Mo Ye in her palm that was the size of an embroidery needle was clutched in her palm.
When Liu Changsheng looked back at Hu Jiao, Uncle Chen, who had been leading the way in front. Looking back, a smile erupted from his stereotypical face.
Hu Jiao has been paying attention to him all the time, and strangely, this time his smile is even more ugly than at the door, but it is not weird at all.
If you look closely, it's even a little warm.
Mo Ye, who had been holding it in the palm of his hand, didn't react at all this time. Hu Jiao's face did not change in the slightest, and the smile on Liu Changsheng was always maintained.
But my heart began to be entangled, could it be that those hallucinations just now were caused by my too nervousness?
At this time, the image of Uncle Chen sticking out his tongue and licking his lips slightly appeared in her mind.
That's definitely not an illusion of yourself.
When pigs fly.
The three of them paused slightly, then began to walk forward again.
Uncle Chen has been walking about a meter in front of them, is he still reminding Liu Changsheng that they should pay attention to the road under their feet.
That's about a 10-minute walk.
Liu Changsheng suddenly stopped, and as soon as he stopped, Hu Jiao and Uncle Chen immediately stopped.
Uncle Chen turned sideways and asked.
"Young Master, is there something wrong?"
Liu Changsheng frowned and pointed to the road in front of him where there was no exit in sight.
"Uncle Chen, what's going on? Today this tunnel seems to be much longer than usual. ”
Uncle Chen snapped his fingers, and a lantern less than ten meters away from Liu Changsheng's back began to burn violently.
As the lanterns burned, the visibility of the light became clearer and clearer.
A pitch-black intersection appeared directly in the eyes of Liu Changsheng and Hu Jiao.
Liu Changsheng and Hu Jiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva almost at the same time, and then it was quiet in the tunnel.
These two voices were very obvious, and the two glanced at each other and found that each other's faces were shocked.
The place where the lantern burned was around a corner, and they had almost turned around against this junction just now.
But neither of them noticed the existence of this intersection, which is too weird.
You must know that the two of them have maintained a high degree of vigilance all the way, but such a big intersection has been completely ignored under their noses.
Liu Changsheng glanced at Uncle Chen, who had been leaning sideways.
Uncle Chen squeezed his face hard, trying his best to show some comforting expressions. But his face was so stiff that he began to cramp as soon as he made an exaggerated expression.
Uncle Chen comforted that his expression was not successful, and he rubbed his face desperately, and said with a little gentle expression as much as he could.
"Young master, young grandma don't be nervous. In fact, this is just a small trick. Because the tunnel keeps going forward, it looks like there is only one road to the end. Therefore, most people will have some illusions, and it is easy to ignore that in fact, this tunnel has countless forks. ”
Sensory illusions?
Liu Changsheng looked at Hu Jiao and wanted to hear her thoughts, Hu Jiao shook his head after thinking for a while.
She was also not sure of the credibility of Uncle Chen's claim.
Liu Changsheng himself tried to recall the whole process from the time he came in. He couldn't tell if it was really a sensory misjudgment or something else.
However, even if it is a sensory misjudgment, it is definitely not as simple as Uncle Chen's mouth.
This technique is very similar to the method of their soul system layout. I want to use the depressive feeling in the tunnel to introduce it, and then guide the visual errors through the light. It is natural for people to ignore some of the real things around them.
In terms of technique, it is not clever, domineering and direct, but now it seems that the actual effect is obvious.
Since he was a child, he and Sister Jiaojiao, two spiritually awakened people, have relaxed their ways.
Liu Changsheng wondered.
"Uncle Chen, have these forks always been there? Why didn't I find them when I came here with the old man before?"
Uncle Chen pointed to the front of the tunnel.
"In fact, this tunnel has set up 3,000 forks since the old man was built. The old man should say that the three thousand forks correspond to the three thousand worlds of Buddhism. Speaking of which, I'm ashamed, after the old man handed over Bai Yujing to me. Although I tried my best to operate, I was not talented enough and failed the old man's hard work. The old man's three thousand forks in the road are the ideas of the three thousand worlds. I haven't been able to do it. So far, most of the 3,000 forks in the road are only one road. Even some of the roads and some of the buildings are a mess, and they don't deserve to be called a world. A few years ago, I felt that I couldn't do the errand assigned by the old man at all, so I thought about asking the old man to resign. However, the old man was kind-hearted and did not agree with me to dismiss this errand. He kept comforting me and told me not to be burdened. Everything can be done slowly, one step at a time, down-to-earth, not lazy or impatient. At the end of the day, you can make as much as you can. Lao Chen is grateful to the old man and his kindness to me. I can only continue to do this errand. Fortunately, thanks to the old man and the blessing of the old man, Bai Yujing has slowly improved under Lao Chen's serious management step by step in recent years. In the six states and one prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River, most of the secret transactions of spiritual monks were carried out in Bai Yujing. In addition, he is familiar with the old man and the old man, and he is very powerful, and for the sake of the old man and the old man's face, he will also come to take care of Bai Yujing's business from time to time. This has come and gone, and the accumulation of Bai Yujing's resources has gradually increased in recent years. Just last year, I calculated the cost and found that the first world seemed to have enough resources to start. So I made my own decision to make a prototype of the first world. Lao Chen is a person who doesn't have much potential, so he thinks about it in his lifetime. If I can completely establish a vast world, it will not completely live up to the old man's trust in me. By then, I guess I'm running out of time. I can only hope that a hundred years later, I will also have the face to lie next to the old man, and accompany the old man to lie quietly underground. It's also a coincidence, today's first world in Baiyu Jingzhong has just been built with an outline. The young master brought the young grandmother to Bai Yujing for the first time. Lao Chen was happy in his heart, so he wanted to take the young master and the young grandmother to meet him. ”
3,000 forks in the road, representing 3,000 worlds?
And what's even more terrifying is that this Uncle Chen still takes this matter seriously, and a prototype has already been established.
Liu Changsheng and Hu Jiao looked at each other.
Liu Changsheng and Hu Jiao looked at each other like this, and they didn't come to their senses until a long time later. The two of them looked at the intersection as the lantern burned out, the fire became smaller and smaller, and began to slowly disappear.
A fork in the road is a big world, there is a fork in the road here, will there be a big world in the future?
Liu Changsheng pointed to the road in front of him, his face full of excitement.
"Uncle Chen, how long does it take to get to his destination. ”
Uncle Chen weighed it and said.
"At this rate, it should be there in about an hour or two. ”
Liu Changsheng took Hu Jiao's hand, and Hu Jiao struggled a little and let him hold it.
Liu Changsheng laughed and strode forward.
Uncle Chen tugged at his facial muscles and walked with the same steps as he had just touched.
After three steps, he overtook Liu Changsheng and led the way about a meter in front of him.
After that, no matter how Liu Changsheng accelerated his pace, he was about a meter in front of Liu Changsheng, not near or far away.
