Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 235: The essence of the corridor of the mind

Views:

On the basement floor of the vigilant church, the "Old Tune Team" met Song He, the alerter.

"It's faster than I expected." Song Heyou asked, "Why is Mr. Dimarco willing to let you enter the 'underground ark'?"

He was puzzled by this matter, so he did not hide his curiosity.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"He is very interested in the Forbidden Temple of Lake Heart Island, and he also knows that if we don't see us, we will definitely not share the gains with him."

"Is that so..." Song He did not expect such a simple reason.

But since the so-called sleeping "gods" are involved, it's normal for anything strange to happen.

Maybe DiMarco also has the idea of becoming a similar existence

Jiang Baimian turned to the matter of the traitor in Hongshiji:

"By the way, we asked Mr. DiMarco if he sold the redstone set and leaked the information of Bishop Renato's return to the headquarters to the murlocs and mountain monsters. Although he did not admit it, he did not deny it. He only said that he would wait for the new appointment. The bishop has arrived and will communicate with him about this issue."

Song He showed a thoughtful expression and nodded lightly:

"Then there is no need to continue the investigation. You have completed this task."

After speaking, he smiled and pointed to the ceiling above his head:

"Let's go up and talk, how bad it is to stand all the time."

Knowing that Song He was going to pay to teach himself and others some common sense related to "Awakened", Shang Jianyao responded before Jiang Baimian:

"it is good!"

He immediately added:

"Do you need someone to beat your back?"

When he said this, Shang Jianyao's eyes were looking at Long Yuehong.

Fuck... Long Yuehong couldn't help but cursed in her heart.

"Ah?" Song He was obviously at a loss.

Shang Jianyao immediately explained:

"This is what teachers can enjoy."

"No, no." Song He suddenly wondered if he was really old and had a so-called generation gap with young people.

After returning to the church and entering Song He's room, Jiang Baimian couldn't wait to ask:

"Warning Song, if you want to cross the 'Sea of Origin', how many islands will you have to challenge and how many kinds of inner shadows will you overcome?"

Although she is not an awakened person, she is always full of research spirit on similar things.

Song He heard the words and laughed:

"You know a lot. I doubt whether I can give enough valuable rewards."

He paused, then said thoughtfully:

"Since you have basic common sense, it will be easier for me to speak.

"Everyone has different shadows and fears, and each has its own uniqueness, so the number and characteristics of the islands that need to be crossed will not be the same.

"Some may have to challenge eight or nine islands to find themselves, and some may reach the end after four or five islands, or even two or three islands. This varies from person to person.

"In short, those who are full of courage and have little psychological shadow will cross the 'sea of origin' faster."

Jiang Baimian resisted the urge to look at Shang Jianyao, and said doubtfully:

"That's what I thought too, but that brings up a question:

"You know, every time the Awakened conquers an island, his ability will be improved to a certain extent. So, are those who have passed through eight or nine islands better than those who have only passed through two or three?"

What she means is that if there are such two people, one has been strengthened eight or nine times, and the other has only completed two or three times, and they both successfully entered the "Spiritual Corridor", there may be a huge gap in strength.

Song He's eyes slowly swept across the four members of the "Old Tune Group", and said with a smile:

"The two Awakeners who have just entered the 'Spiritual Corridor' do have a difference in strength, but this is very small, mainly due to the application of their own abilities, the restraint between each other and the experience in actual combat.

"Whether it's an Awakened who has crossed seven or eight islands, or an Awakened who has only defeated two or three islands, after finding himself and filling his mind, his strength will be raised to a similar level. There are many enhancements ahead, here It’s less, what you get in front is less, and there’s more here.”

He thought about it and gave an example:

"It's like when we go from the redstone set to the 'United Industries' headquarters, whether you drive, ride a bicycle, or even walk, the final result is always only one, and that is to reach the destination, the main difference is the cost on the way. experience from time and various encounters.

"For the awakened, the essential purpose of defeating the Shadow Island is to cross the 'Sea of Origin', and as long as they can enter the 'Spiritual Corridor', everyone is the same in the most important harvest."

"I understand." Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and slammed his left palm, "This is like running a race, some need to climb over multiple railings, some just cross a few shallow pits, no matter which method is used, can The first to cross the finish line is victory."

Song He nodded:

"almost."

Taking the example that Shang Jianyao was looking for, he further said:

"The possible gap between the two is that when you need to climb over the railings in the future, the experienced one will be easier."

"Will there be a possibility of jumping over the railing in the future?" Jiang Baimian keenly discerned the hidden meaning in Song He's words.

Song He said "um":

"That's what the nature of the 'psychic corridor' is."

Having said that, he picked up the water glass next to him and took a sip.

This made the four members of the "Old Tune Group" a little anxious-although Bai Chen and Long Yuehong were not awakened, nor did they have a strong desire to study, but everyone had a curiosity.

This is the most mysterious and wonderful power that human beings can obtain at present.

After drinking the water, Song Hecai said slowly:

"The 'Sea of Origin' reflects one's own mind, and the island is the fear or shadow hidden deep in everyone's heart.

"And the 'Spiritual Corridor' connects the hearts of all the awakened ones.

"I heard the fear bishop who introduced me to the teaching said that there are many doors in the 'Spiritual Corridor', and each door corresponds to a spiritual world.

"Some of these belong to those powerful awakeners who have explored the depths of the 'spiritual corridor', and some even lead to the dreams of the old people, which are bizarre, and there are various scenes beyond reality, including the mentality that the other party has defeated. Shadows produce mapping."

It's no wonder that there is still an "island of fear", but it is not his own, but someone else's... Jiang Baimian suddenly realized.

Shang Jian Yao asked excitedly:

"Then can you go to someone else's door?"

Song He was stunned for two seconds before answering:

"Theoretically yes, but you can't open the door corresponding to the mind of ordinary awakened people, at least not until you have explored the depths of the 'spirit corridor'.

"As for whether something like Yan Hu can do it, I don't know."

Hearing this example, Jiang Baimian's eyebrows moved slightly.

She also thought of the "weirdness" that the murloc gods had conceived in their bodies.

Reverse the door and return to reality from someone else's spiritual world? The premise is, integrate your breath into someone else's body to provide precise positioning? Jiang Baimian has a new guess on this matter.

She thought about it and asked:

"Then what is the purpose of exploring the 'Spiritual Corridor'?"

Song He showed a slightly embarrassed expression:

"Many people in the dust believe that there is a new world, and in the depths of the ruins of a certain city, there is a gate to a new world, where there is no more hunger, infection and war.

"Similarly, those powerful awakeners all believe that a certain door in the 'Spiritual Corridor' can lead to a new world, a new world where their lives can be qualitatively changed."

Jiang Baimian and others instantly thought of the words Yan Hu had carved on the inner plate of the coffin with his fingernails:

"new world"

And this is similar to what Du Heng said at the beginning.

At this time, Shang Jianyao asked curiously:

"What if I go to the wrong door?"

"Then you have to face all kinds of bizarre worlds. If you can't solve the dangers in it smoothly, you are likely to lose your life." Song He reminded, "In the 'Sea of Origin', failure is just a simple failure, at most If people are more tired and mentally in a bad state, success will pay more costs, and in the 'spirit corridor', failure will often be reflected in reality."

"It's very dangerous..." Long Yuehong sighed sincerely.

Song He smiled and said:

"right.

"In the 'awakening' thing, if you want more, you have to face more.

"A coward like me, I only dare to stay where I am."

Coward... For some reason, Long Yuehong suddenly remembered Viel's words, saying that Song Warner was a different person in private.

Maybe that's the price he paid? As Long Yuehong's thoughts turned, Song He spoke again:

"I only know so much about the 'Spiritual Corridor', you can ask others."

"Is there a way to stably awaken a person?" Jiang Baimian, cheeky, asked if this might be a core secret of a sect.

Song He laughed and shook his head:

"No.

"But if you join the church, attend mass often, and get the attention of 'Yougu', it will definitely be easier to wake up.

"Well, if 'Yougu' directly bestows divine grace, awakening will be a high probability event."

Is this an attempt to lure us into a vigilant sect? Hehe, how did you catch Shang Jian Yao without Holy Communion? Well, it seems that all the seniors have a method to increase the probability of awakening... Jiang Baimian knew that he would not get an answer if he kept asking, so he shut his mouth rationally.

Next, Shang Jianyao raised a few more questions related to the "Sea of Origins", all of which were well answered.

After saying goodbye to Song He and getting on the jeep, Jiang Baimian, who was in the passenger seat, looked back at the Vigilant Church:

"The new bishop should be here soon, we try to leave before then.

"Well, go back to the hotel camp and tell Lehman the news about Lars, and let him confirm it himself. Then we can only wait for the 'Mechanical Paradise' information, and we can check on Herwig's death in the middle.

"By the way, we have to wait for the company's call back."

She had made a telegram last night about her experience in exploring the temple and her recommendation to Han Wang, and sent it back to "Pangu Creatures".
