Chapter 33: Puzzle Clearing

History is like a long river, always flowing from the depths of the depths where the truth is buried layer by layer and cannot be clarified, all the way to the mysterious, never-ending end, it seems that there is always a force, inadvertently, throwing a stone into it, which will cause an uproar on the originally calm water.

"It's over, it's over, it's over. ”

Climb all the way up the low mountain behind the bear cave, turn over the top of the mountain, and on the sunny side, there is a cliff, the depth is extremely wide, and there is no bottom below.

After Fang Shou fell from the cliff, he closed his eyes, and scenes from his childhood flashed in his mind, vaguely, he couldn't figure it out, if it was he who gave himself relief after Wei Chi broke the appointment, what kind of relationship did there exist between his past self and his current self?

At this moment, the guiding stone in his chest shook, and his ears suddenly rang again-

"Attention!Attention!Within an hour, the cave master did not initiate a breakaway, and the time limit was exceeded!

"Huh....... Brother Wei Chi" Fang Shou smiled miserably and said, "I said that I would let No. 1 accompany you to the funeral, but it's a pity that No. 3 ......."

It turned out that Fang Shou, at the moment when Wei Chi was killed earlier, had already decided that the scene in which this trial was conducted was by no means false, but the real world.

It's just that this reality is the reality of the past. And they, these passers-by who shuttled from the future, are more like the stones thrown into the water, as parts under the secret instrument, correcting the pointer for the direction of history.

To be precise, the black sulfur bear spirit they killed did appear in history, but this part was deliberately hidden by some force, so that contemporary people were unaware of it.

"Number Three, I'm sorry to implicate you, you treat each other with sincerity, but in exchange for ...... Fang Shou will report again in the next life..."

In the end, Fang Shou didn't react in the slightest, and let himself fall from a high place, his speed getting faster and faster, and the wind was whistling in his ears.......

A wisp of wind, swinging down from the sky, ruffled the hair of Fang Shou, who stood on the bow of the boat, lifted a corner of his coat, and gently swept across the waves, causing ripples.

The boat is a boat that crosses the water, but it is not the water of Bibo Lake.

At present, what appeared in front of Fang Shou was an endless sea, glowing with a faint blue light, almost merging with the blue sky.

The scenery of the sea and the sky, vast and far-reaching, stopped and looked at it for a long time, Fang Shou's gaze seemed deep and dignified, I saw that his lips and teeth were slightly open, and he asked in confusion:

"Here....... Where is it?"

You still remembers that one second, he was still waiting for the judgment of the ghost thunder with his eyes closed, but the next second, as soon as he opened his eyes, he came to this ethereal sea, and he didn't know where to go........

What's even more strange is that Fang Shou tried to observe his reflection in the water through the guiding stone, but found that at some point, his face had returned to its original appearance!

"Now that my face has returned to normal, I guess at this moment, I must not be in the trial. And in the past, I have heard No. 3 say that Ghost Thunder, as the enforcer of the Abyss, haunts and is unpredictable, coming and going without a trace, obliterating people into invisibility, and the obliterated person will disappear as if it never existed, even if you search every corner of the Triple Heaven, you will no longer be able to find any traces of its existence......"

With this impression, Fang Shou looked back, looked at the ferryman behind the boat, Mr. Du, was silent for a long time, and finally asked:

"Is this in a dream?"

"Dreams, you could say dreams. However, on the contrary, it is not you who brought you into this dream, but me, a bad old man."

At the stern of the boat, Du Lao sat cross-legged and made a "please" gesture to Fang Shou to signal the other party to sit down.

There is no seat here, face to face, and talk on the knees, which is the patent of friends, but at this moment, it is used between Fang Shou and Du Lao, a pair of strangers.

Fang Shou looked at the boatman, his eyes showed suspicion, because earlier, when he was studying in Beijing, he often heard students from the two counties of Gyeonggi mention this ferryman, who was on the shore of Bibo Lake, set up a bamboo boat to cross, and no matter who came, they only received one penny, for more than 60 years, and never stopped.

It is better to be famous than to meet, Fang Shouben still regrets that he has studied for many years, but he has not been able to get a hermit boatman, can meet by chance in the turbulence and displacement, I have to say, such ups and downs of the world, he really did not expect.

So, as soon as Fang Shou sat down, he felt an embarrassment between them, and it began to grow slowly.

"How did you do it? Also, are you the old man in the second year of Qianming, or the fourteenth year of Qianming? No, to be exact, do you belong to this era, or do you come from the future like me?"

Obviously, not only did he not wait for the ghost thunder to receive the punishment he deserved, but he came to this endless blue sea, which should be all the credit of this old man.

"And why did you save me, and what were your intentions?"

Du Lao shook his head, but he was a little close, and asked instead of answering: "Test you first, after leaving the Initial Realm, how is the progress of your cultivation?"

"The avenue of heaven and earth, only yin and yang, yin and yang, and ..... with water and fire"

Quickly chanted a mantra, Fang Shou led it with one hand, pinched his fingers into a seal, and shouted urgently:

"Twist the heart, the fire sword is out!~ You give me ...... out"

Fang Shou drank a few times, his hands were empty, and he didn't react at all, and for a while, the atmosphere in the field became extremely embarrassing......

Raising his eyes to see this scene, Du Lao glanced up slightly through the corner of his mouth with gray cloth, and said:

"The true yuan cyclone in the dantian, can it be the size of an egg?"

"Uh..."Scratching his head red-faced, Fang Shou said embarrassedly, "It must be as big as a goose egg..."

"Then have you ever practiced the fragments of the 'Water and Fire Sword Sutra' by heart?"

"You can see, just now I just wanted to introduce the True Yuan into the meridian of my right arm, but unfortunately I consumed too much before, and the True Yuan was really insufficient, so I failed......" Fang Shou followed the words of the old man.

Seeing this, Du Lao couldn't help sighing, shook his head and said: "The Sword Sutra of Water and Fire, divided into two parts, although it is not my true biography, but it is also obtained from one of my old people, and then passed down from generation to generation for its people, but it gradually declined, as if it lost the pomp and circumstance in person, and what you got from the descendants of his family is just a fragment, you see that its name is popular, but in fact, once it is practiced, the power is really good, even if it is placed in the Fang Realm, it is also rare, and it will be able to lay a good foundation for you in the future, as the so-called, the Tao is natural..."

"All cultivation is the Dharma, and the truth is natural. Fang Shou rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "I've heard this countless times, and my ears are calloused!

After accompanying the old man for a long time, Fang Shou finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Presumably, the reason why the four of us and the others went to the Fang Realm was also due to your arrangement, right?"

"Fei Ye" To Fang Shou's surprise, Du Lao actually shook his head, his voice was a little bitter, "The ancient divine beast 'Kun', that is already the closest existence to an immortal in the mortal world, how can I mobilize it?"

"That ......." Fang Shou's face gradually became serious, because he vaguely guessed that his experience with Dafu and others was not accidental, but more like a trial of Yuan, as if it was deliberately arranged by some mysterious and powerful force?

"Okay, let's answer your questions first. Du Lao took out the bamboo pole from behind him and walked aimlessly with the bamboo boat, and at the same time, his voice was gentle, like this endless blue sea, calmly without a trace of waves:

"You waited through the trial of the abyss, and only then returned to this past Daxuan, so all actions must follow the instructions of the ghost thunder, but because the time limit was exceeded, you were held accountable, but just when the ghost thunder was about to wipe out you and so on, it was I who paused the time for a moment and saved you and others in time, and then I drove the ghost thunder away from the second year of Qianming, this time node, do you probably understand........

"Does that mean!" Fang Shouton got up a little excitedly, "Is it equivalent to escaping the eyes of the ghost thunder when we wait, but we can stay in this initial realm indefinitely?!"

Lowering his hand, Du Lao signaled Fang Shou to be calm, but in response to Fang Shou's question, he first nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "Although this is true, have you ever thought about what will happen if two Fang Shou appear at the same time in the second year of Qianming?"

"Will ......." Fang Shou was excited, immediately calmed down, and slowly sat back with his body, waiting for Du Lao's answer.

"Once a certain time limit is exceeded, it will be, both obliterated!" Du Lao's eyes narrowed, looking extremely cautious, "And that kind of power is by no means comparable to the 'ghost thunder' of the nightmare old man, but it is equivalent to the gathering of the power of the entire primordial realm, which cannot be stopped by human beings." ”

"I see........ If I stay here for a long time, I will inevitably be attacked by this force, and Ah Ugly will also be wiped out!" Fang Shou calmed down, and couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat for his thoughts, "So you, you are the second year of Qianming, although I don't know why you are obviously a monk, why did you stay here for so long........"

"No, I am me, no matter the past, present, or future, my fate is up to me, and one day, if you reach my realm, you will naturally understand, as for why you asked me why I only saved you?
