Chapter 171: Cave Heaven and Blessed Land
There is only a small platform outside the cave, which only allows one person to stand on. Then there are the cliffs, hundreds of meters high. The cliff seems to have been split with an axe, straight up and down, facing Grandpa Sun Mountain to the north. Grandpa Sun Mountain is not high, only half of the cliff, and there is a deep valley between the two - called Grandpa Sun Valley. At night, fog rose, so this cliff and Grandpa Sun Mountain and Grandpa Sun Valley became cloudy. But even so, you can see a layer of light on the horizon farther north. It was Kitayama City, which was rapidly being constructed and restored.
Li Qingyan stood at the entrance of the cave, but the depths of the cave behind him were not dark—an oil lamp was lit, reflecting the heavens and the earth. There is a stone bed, a stone table, four stone benches, and nothing else, like the "secluded mansion of the immortals" often mentioned in ordinary legends. But both the stone bed and the stone table are smaller, as if they were for children.
Pei Shouchong sat on the stone bed and exercised pranayama. Li Qingyan's speculation and observation were correct - this first-class boss was seriously injured.
Now he knows what happened six days ago. He walked back to his room and talked to Yuan Xiaolu, and then a sudden change occurred. In Pei Shouchong's perspective, the entire room was filled with bright white light in an instant, but it was also "sucked" into a cavity at the same time. This means that nothing can be perceived within that white light at that moment, as if it were an independent space, a universe.
Pei Shouchong realized that something was wrong. Although he didn't know whether it was Li Qingyan's ghost or someone else set up a situation, he still took Pei Yuanxiu in the next room as soon as possible, planning to take him away. But then he also felt a strong gravitational pull - the true element in his body was reversed, and the aura was frantically lost. He was a first-level master, almost the pinnacle of the power system in this world, and he had never experienced this feeling or encountered such a situation.
Breaking away from the confines of gravity paid a great price, and when he sent Pei Yuanxiu to a safe place and returned to see the building of the health center, he found that the building was no longer there.
There was only a cloud of white light left at the original site, and a strong wind was blowing all around, and everything was frantically converging into the white light. Houses within tens of meters were torn to pieces by a huge force, and even the ground under the white light was sucked into a deep pit. But Pei Shouchong knew that this gravitational force was really very different from the one he had felt before—when he was next to that white light, even the True Yuan spiritual power in his body was out of control!
Later studies have also shown that there is indeed a significant difference in the strength of the gravitational field in the area around the "boundary gate", that is, the crack that appeared after Li Qingyan touched Yuan Xiaolu's string. Within twenty meters, the power is so powerful that humans cannot detect it by any known means. It looks more like a black hole that explicitly limits its power to within twenty meters!
But the gravitational pull generated by the area twenty meters away is more like the extremely faint aftermath of the strong gravitational pull of this "black hole" or "boundary gate", although it is still difficult for people to fight, but with the joint efforts of technology and magic, it can still be tamed. So the "tombstone" was quickly erected, and the brand-new buildings that Li Qingyan saw were also erected.
All of this happened in six days – on the first day, people in the distance saw a huge phantage over the North Mountain, and on the second day, people roughly figured out the nature of the white black hole. On the third day, a large number of technicians and high-ranking monks gathered in Beishan, and on the fourth day, the authorities announced that a monument would be built on the outskirts of Beishan to commemorate those who died in the recent catastrophe.
During this period until this evening, Li Qingyan stayed in that white light. In his perception, everything was just a moment. This is because the attraction within a radius of twenty meters is so great that it even distorts time extremely!
"And then you rescued me?" Li Qingyan turned to look at Pei Shouchong, "Mr. Pei, did you miss something—for example, how did you get injured, and how did you pull me out?
Pei Shouchong sat on the stone bed, and only after a while did he raise his eyes slightly and glance at him: "Xiao Li." I haven't seen you for a few days, but your attitude has changed drastically. ”
refers to Li Qingyan's tone. No longer as trembling as when the two first met six days ago, but calmly...... Or you're welcome.
"You're a smart guy. You should know that although I have been injured, I am not at the point where I can do nothing to you. Pei Shouchong let out a sigh of relief, let go of his legs, and sat on the edge of the stone bed, "The current situation is—"
"It's not good for me, but it's bad for you. Li Qingyan interrupted him, "I just met you six days ago, and I don't know what you want. But tonight I think I've probably guessed something, so I realize that I don't have to worry about you, friend or foe. ”
"Mr. Pei, let's recall what you said to me earlier. You said that you want to open the secret realm through me for the sake of the exercises and treasures in it. You want to use those things for your own sake, or maybe against what you call the 'Divine King'. But your performance tonight made me start to doubt your words - you just told me that there are two sect masters and a dozen elders in that boundary gate, and if I don't cooperate with you, you won't be able to save me. ”
"But why save me, if you really want to open the secret realm through me, why don't you leave me there to study the thing, after all, I opened it. If the 'we' you are talking about include both you and the six sects and five sects, then why should you avoid them and take me to hide here?"
"So I guess only you know about the fact that you saw me six days ago. Only you know that you want me to open the secret realm. Or there is another possibility-you and the big guys of the six sects and five factions want the things in the secret realm, and everyone wants to monopolize them. If so, I'm going to doubt what you said to me before-"
"You said you knew about my existence for a long time, and said you had seen me more than ten years ago. But now I think that maybe you only know that there is a person like me in this world, but you never know where I am. It wasn't until I showed up that you came and found me first. ”
Li Qingyan paused and said seriously: "If what I guess is true, then in the secular world, because of Pei Yuanxiu, there are probably not many people in the Pei family who like it." And in the cultivation world, because you found me first, you probably don't have many people who like me. Of course, if it was you in the past, you wouldn't care if others liked you or not. But now you're wounded—because of the gate—and you've gone from apex predator to prey. Therefore, you don't dare to meet people - especially the big guys of the six sects and five factions. ”
Pei Shouchong was silent for a while, and then smiled slightly: "These words of yours reminded me of your father. Your tone is almost identical. ”
He thought about it again: "I didn't hide this from you in the first place, but since you can see it yourself, you don't need me to bother talking about it." As for what method I used to save you, it's hard to say, this is another secret of the Lianhua Sect. And your situation...... Xiao Li, if you were not by my side now, but in the hands of those sect masters and elders, you would never be so comfortable. ”
"Do you think that Yu Peiyan's matter is just the Yu family's business? You killed him, touching the interests of many people. and shake out his affairs, which makes many people hate to get rid of you quickly. Once in their hands, they will first have to imprison you, wear out your will with all kinds of torture, and then use you as a tool to open the secret realm—"
Li Qingyan suddenly smiled: "Mr. Pei, then what do you want to find in the secret realm?"
Pei Shouchong was stunned. was about to speak, Li Qingyan said: "If you say what magic weapon and secret you want, it is an insult to the IQ of the two of us." ”
Pei Shouchong was silent for a longer time this time, looking at Li Qingyan carefully and carefully, as if he wanted to figure out what had happened in the past six days, so that his momentum was so sharp now. The young man standing at the entrance of the cave did remind him of his father—both of them were just as aggressive and straight to the point at some point. Pei Shouchong didn't like this style of conversation, but he knew that he had to adapt to it for now.
After all, Li Qingyan is a second-level demon clan, and he has that "key".
So he thought twice and thought he could give it a try.
"It's a secret. Pei Shouchong said, "But it's not an ordinary secret. It's a ...... The magic of returning all laws. ”
Li Qingyan thought for a while: "The name is 'Ten Thousand Laws Returning to the Divine Skill' or—"
"The latter. ”
So he laughed: "Mr. Pei, do you believe that there is such a thing? It sounds like a top physicist believes that there are design drawings for perpetual motion machines somewhere." ”
But he shook his head again: "You won't use this kind of thing to prevaricate me...... Okay, can you talk about it in detail? The magic power that makes all the laws flow back?"
Pei Shouchong also smiled: "Don't say." But what can be said is that this thing should exist. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have provoked the wrath of the crowd to come to you first. Now I have found the right one - the destruction of Beishan, which I have seen nearly a hundred years ago. I have seen the vision that is appearing now. When you open the gate and release the thing, it means we're on the right track. ”
"And then we lived here. I teach, you learn. This is a blessed place, and you can also see the situation of Beishan. Once you've learned the Retrospective Rotation Method, we'll go to the Gate. By then, the people over there should have figured out the nature of the door, and then you will take me through. I do my thing, you do yours. ”
