Chapter 17: The Initial Realm, the Wheel of Cause and Effect
"Yes, I am an outsider. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Looking at the unfamiliar face reflected in the water through the guiding stone, Fang Shou couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't even give a name, I don't know yet?
Chong Ding, generally speaking, is a class of people on the rivers and lakes due to gambling debts and other reasons, and forced to be caught to support the field, often, in the fire of some Jianghu forces, Chong Ding will also be forced to step forward by the knife, to play the role of a substitute for the dead, so anyone who is caught as a chong Ding, either oppressed to death, or hacked to death, all in all, the end is not very good.
"Don't complain!" No. 3 pushed him on the shoulder, "The trial will be assigned different identities according to the performance of the members of the deep cave, and it is good that you can become a chongding when you first come! How is it like my first trial, and I was only assigned the status of an inferior pariah? I can't even enter the city! At that time, in order to meet with the members, it took the boss's effort! I was almost judged to fail, and I was wiped out by the ghost thunder. ”
"What are you doing? seasickness!" As No. 3 was speaking, Yue Laosan suddenly slapped Fang Shou's head exposed outside the boat, but at this time, Fang Shou was already different from when he first came, and immediately turned his head to dodge, and as soon as he wanted to get angry, he remembered the word "important" on the other party's character label, so he suppressed the fire and silently hid behind No. 3, trying not to look at him.
Seeing that Fang Shou was being bullied, No. 3 immediately scolded: "What are you doing?
"Ah, you're not ......"
It turned out that this Yue Laosan, as a mortal, naturally couldn't hear the content of Fang Shou's transmission, Fang saw "Chong Ding" lying on the side of the boat and vomiting, and was pushed by "Liu Sanye", who was a cronie of the deputy gang leader, and thought that he could decisively slap a horse, but he didn't expect to shoot the tiger's buttocks, and the water washed the Dragon King Temple. At that moment, he had no choice but to touch the back of his head, one head and two big, and he was embarrassed to apologize to Fang Shou, thinking to himself how this little "Chongding" climbed into Liu Sanye's friendship?
"Yue Laosan, did you bring the silver?" No. 1 stared ahead, not even replying, "A total of six texts, pay it now, don't spread it, say that the people of my Tianhu Gang are in arrears, and the reputation of the rivers and lakes has been ruined!"
"Huh?" Yue Laosan was stunned for a moment, and immediately reluctantly took out six copper plates from the money bag and threw them into the wooden basin behind the boat, with a painful look on his face.
Seeing that No. 1 quietly knocked on the bamboo pole of this unknown Yue Laosan, No. 2 immediately transmitted:
"During the trial, it's best to follow the rules here, things like defaulting on debts, if you can't do it, you can't do it, otherwise, it will easily affect the difficulty of the trial. ”
"That's right, like sometimes, if you provoke the people to report to the government because of default, it will still easily cause some emergencies. "Afraid that Fang Shou didn't understand, No. 2 also explained it again.
"Naturally. Fang Shou rolled his eyes in his heart, and said in his heart that the rules here, Xiao Sheng knows better than any of you!
"Earlier you said that our trials are not really 'karma wheels', can you elaborate on the reasons?"
"The key to it" No. 2's eyes showed a solemn expression, "It's about time!"
"Time?" Fang Shou was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses, "Do you mean ......?"
"I came to Yuanqian, and the time of the initial realm should be in the fourteenth year of the Great Xuan Qianming. No. 2 nodded, "But among the many trials that have been experienced later, there are the Linglong Palace built by Lord Li in the eighth year of the previous dynasty, and the most recent rebellion of Li Jixuan, the king of Xishan in the fifteenth year of the Qianming Dynasty, these two correspond to the past and future time nodes respectively. Therefore, according to this judgment, the initial realm in the trial is not real. ”
"Wait!"
The amount of information was too large for a while, and Fang Shou was a little difficult to sort out. But soon, he reacted, and suddenly shouted uncontrollably: "How could the King of the West Mountain rebel...."
"Do you know him?" No. 1 turned his head and squinted at Fang Shou, "Do you know the Cause and Effect Wheel, the Initial Realm?"
"No, I mean" Fang Shou's heart jumped, and he forced a smile on his face, "How can I lie to you? You are all old people who have been in the Yuan for more than five years, and the trials you have experienced in the middle are not a hundred, but there are as many as ten, but I really can't figure it out, if according to the second number, he came to the Yuan in the fourteenth year of Qianming, and there is only one year between the fifteenth year of Qianming, and the ten trials are also one year, how can it represent the future?"
Fang Shou himself was rescued by Zhixian and others in the early spring of the fourteenth year of the Qianming Dynasty, and then he fled for several months, and was forced to come here when he was shipwrecked on the Naqiong River near the end of summer. Besides, Rao didn't believe that the king of the west, whom he had always trusted, would rebel against his own brother in the following year.
"Now, there is only one possibility," Fang Shou rearranged his thoughts, "The scene where the Abyss Trial is located is not the real initial realm, but a mapping based on real time and space, which is equivalent to reconstructing a new scene for our trial. ”
"It's also right and it's not right. No. 1's tone softened a lot, but he was still a little skeptical, "Looking at you like this, it seems that you really haven't experienced the 'Wheel of Cause and Effect', otherwise why wouldn't you even know this?"
Seeing that Fang Shou was puzzled, No. 2 sighed, and then explained: "The time of the initial realm is not a one-to-one correspondence with our thirty-one realm, one day there is equivalent to one year here for us!"
"That's how it could be..."
Fang Shou was dumbfounded, his heart was full of surprises, he couldn't help himself for a while, he was happy that if this was the case, he would have the opportunity to return to his homeland after a few years, and he would not meet the vicissitudes of life.
"Everyone preaches 'one day in heaven and one year underground,' but who actually knows that the two are reversed?"
At this moment, Fang Shou had already decided that the so-called Thirty-One Realm was the "Heaven" that had been passed down by the Great Xuan Folk in the past, and even he began to suspect that some of the ghosts and gods and strange powers, gods and spirits and other rumors that were prevalent among the folk were that these monks from the Fang Realm had made trouble?
"In this way, everything here is not real?" After looking back and forth for a moment, Fang Shou still said in disbelief, "It's incredible, if this is all fake, then it's too fake!"
"When the fake is true, the truth is also false" No. 1 suddenly said meaningfully, "Who knows which one is true and which one is false?"
"Truth or falsehood aside, I have another doubt. Fang Shou was completely relieved, and asked No. 2 again, "Since the Initial Realm has already concluded a cause and effect with the Cause and Effect Tree, why don't you just take it away and take it to the Thirty-One Realm to raise, wouldn't it be more convenient?"
"Alas, it's not that simple," No. 3 obviously felt a little overhead at the other party's repeated questions, "not to mention that the 'karmic chakra' has a limited time to open, just to say that the participants cannot directly appear in the initial realm in the form of ontology, but to directly participate in their respective causal chains in a certain capacity, just like our current trials, and only in this way can the cause and effect produced be valuable." ”
"Again, the people of the Initial Realm can't come to the Fang Realm!" Second added in due course.
"Why?" Fang Shou was puzzled, if what No. 2 said was true, then what was he and the others?
No. 2 shook his head, and seemed to feel a little helpless: "Do you think that no one has thought about it? Although these mortal spirits in the Initial Realm have not been enlightened, they are all amazingly talented, wouldn't it be beautiful to catch a group of 'snatchers'? However, as I said before, one day in the Initial Realm, one year in the Fang Realm, and even more so within the 'True Mortal Dao' that connects the two, the speed of time is even more unpredictable. Often, mortals are unable to survive the true mortal path that has been around for hundreds of years. ”
At this moment, Fang Shou suddenly thought of the corpses of the officers and soldiers on the fast ship that had chased him and the others, and it was only at this moment that he understood the real reason for their deaths.
"But it still doesn't make sense, why are the four of us safe and sound? Alas, I can't figure it out......"
Fang Shouzheng thought to himself, and the scene on the other side of the lake gradually appeared from the end and came into their eyes, among them, the most eye-catching was the rows of towering buildings in the Tianfu Jingshi University Hall.
"Master Miao, are you here.... I don't know when the initial realm corresponds to in the current trial?"
At present, Fang Shou can basically determine that the dynasty in which he and the others live is undoubtedly Daxuan, and the reason is the Jingshi University Hall in Tianfu, which is perfect in this dynasty, but I don't know if it is in the Qianming calendar, and this also means.......
"I will have the opportunity to meet.... Is the other party guarding?"
