Spreading out from under the feet, it is an endless mirror.
It looks like a mirror, but it is actually water.
People hang on it, and ripples are formed step by step. If there is buoyancy, the socks are not wet.
Some are like Mirror Lake under the Rainbow Bridge, but they are not.
Because what the mirror lake reflects is never a synchronized scene on the lake.
And here-
Chang Ming lowered his head and saw his face.
Clouds of smoke lingered on the water surface, and there were even dots of light scattered and swaying gently, as if silently enticing others to light it.
"What are these lights?" Changming asked.
Yun Hai didn't answer, he just pointed his toes and took Chang Ming into the air, overlooking this vast and boundless world of nothingness.
All the light clusters spread out from under the feet, scattered like stars, all of which are soft and warm light yellow glowing, like a galaxy upside down, floating in a dream.
Except for Changming, it is not that no one else has come.
Yunhai has seen many people come here, and they will be shocked and immersed in it.
But here, time is the least valuable and the most cunning.
Once the consciousness falls into it, it may never be found again.
Chang Ming only lost his mind for a moment, and soon saw the clue.
"These lights are arranged according to the stars in the sky?"
"As expected of the number one person in the world in the past."
Yun Hai teased, "I thought you were fooled by those vultures."
Chang Ming coughed a few times, and he started with Xu Fenglin just now. He also suffered some injuries. He didn't feel it when he beat him. Now that he was out of danger, the wound started to hurt, and it quickly involved his whole body. Do you want Yunhai to wrap his waist? Chang Ming couldn't stand still at all, let alone hang in the air.
The idea of the star map came to mind, and the distribution law of the light clusters under the feet became clearer.
There are the Big Dipper, and Guisu, Zhangsu, Liusu in the south...
"These are all arranged by Yun Weisi?"
"Those who cultivate the ruthless Tao, give up love and forget life. Every light group is a piece of past memory that he voluntarily abandoned. But the people who come here, what they see when they touch the light group, are also their own past. People are addicted to it, unable to extricate themselves, and do not want to come back. Have you seen the blue starlight lingering around some light clusters? Those are the souls of those who are obsessed. There are no bones left, the soul still has resentment, and refuses to let go. Maybe there is only one outside. Decades, but here are thousands of years."
Chang Ming: "Then what did you see?"
Yunhai: "I am a person with no memory and can't see anything."
He reached out to touch the light group closest to him.
The latter dissipated as soon as they touched it, like the gathered fireflies scattered and fluttered around. After a while, they slowly gathered in their original position again.
"Shouldn't you have guessed it long ago?"
The time here is chaotic, the past, present and future have no meaning, and after a long time, life will also lose its meaning, memory does not need to exist, and the mind and soul are separated.
Yun Weisi was also unable to escape such a fate.
In the daytime, Yun Weisi abandoned the past and lost all emotions.
And he, the sea of clouds, only exists at night, appearing out of thin air, with no past and no future.
Even at this moment, it is short-lived and fleeting.
"You are him, and he is you."
"Different."
Chang Ming didn't try to convince Yun Hai again.
He admired the star river under his feet with the eyes of admiring the beautiful scenery.
Yun Hai doesn't even know where his calmness and comfort came from—
Obviously people are in the game, can't help themselves, their cultivation base is completely lost, and they don't even know whether they can get out of here.
Those who can come here are all dragons and phoenixes, but among them, some come for magic weapons, some come to improve their cultivation, and some feel that their past can be abandoned. Hope to find new students here.
But in the end, none of these people got what they wanted, and instead they were buried here, their souls lingering, and they became the embellishment of thousands of stars in the sea.
"I just remembered some old things."
"Oh?"
"About this Jiuzhongyuan. When I went to Wanshen Mountain and caught a succubus, she said, someone called them with blood as a pact. Even if I killed her, it would be useless, she would not be the first. , and won't be the last."
"They all said that it was you who cooperated with the demon and betrayed all those who built the formation to resist."
"Dead people don't speak for themselves, I just happen to be alive."
"Then who called the demon?"
"At that time, I found the mark of the Situ family in the palm of the succubus."
"There was a person named Situ who came in on the other side of nothingness. He said his name was Situ Yuan."
Yunhai stretched out his hand and pointed not far ahead.
"His soul should be there."
Chang Ming: "I remember Situ Yuan. He is Situ Wanhe's nephew. After I found the mark, I went to Situ's house to find Situ Wanhe, the head of the house at the time."
Yunhai: "Situ Wanhe, is he famous?"
Chang Ming: "At that time, there were ten great masters in the world, and Situ Wanhe was among them. He has been in retreat for many years and has not been able to break through. He is very stubborn and stubborn. When he arrived at Situ's house, Situ Wanhe was already dead. People from Situ's family said that just the night before, he went into flames and exploded and died.
Yunhai: "Perhaps suspended animation."
Chang Ming: "I also thought about it, but I saw Situ Wanhe's body with my own eyes, and I can't fake it. After that, the Situ family lost a grandmaster, and his vitality was severely damaged. Since then, he has been unable to recover."
Yunhai: "As soon as you said it, I remembered it. The Situ Yuan who came in said that he wanted to break through his inner demons and cultivation base, and revitalize the Situ family."
Chang Ming: "This shows that Situ Wanhe is indeed dead, otherwise he would not sit by and watch the Situ family decline. At that time, there were more and more magic pits on Wanshen Mountain, and many demons were raging in the world, and the demonic energy was swallowed up. The spiritual power of the heaven and the blessed earth cannot be tolerated by ordinary people. Wherever they go, they slaughter cities and villages. Later, they are better at hiding themselves and disguising themselves as people. Many people are struggling to find a way to deal with them. The Liuhe Candle Sky Formation completely seals the magic cave. He finds me, and I hope I can help."
Yunhai: "You agreed."
Chang Ming: "I agreed. At that time, I had been investigating this matter, but I had no clue. I felt that the people behind the scenes would not sit back and watch the arrangement of the Liuhe Candle Sky Array and completely seal those magic caves."
Yunhai: "But there was an accident during the formation?"
Chang Ming: "Yes, I'm in charge of the corner, as long as I make sure the candle in front of me does not go out, but at that time they had accidents one after another, and I was alone, and I ended up falling short. ."
Yunhai: "Who did the accident happen to first?"
Chang Ming thought for a moment and shook his head.
"I don't remember, the situation was very chaotic at that time, and my thoughts are still incomplete, and I can't recall them all."
Chang Ming stretched out his hand to touch the closest clump of light.
At the moment when the fingertips were about to be connected, Yunhai held his wrist.
Changming looked at him.
The opponent's actions didn't seem to stop him, but rather—
Yunhai took his hand and touched the light.
The fireworks exploded in front of me, and the sky was covered with white snow like goose feathers.
All in all, back to square one.
Yunhai has seen many people here.
After seeing them come in, they went through the cycle of life and death again, and they regretted seeing them weeping and crying.
At that time, the sea of clouds was not touched at all, and even thought it was funny.
But now, he wants to see Changming's past.
These blobs of light are not simply replays of the past.
Even though they have happened, that doesn't mean they can't be changed.
If Changming knew, what would he do
After all, he was curious and inquisitive about this person that he should not have had.
…
Yunhai opened his eyes.
The night is dark.
He was standing on the edge of a wood.
On the left is Maolin, and on the right is the stream.
There was a coughing sound from the direction of the woods, and there was the movement of a carriage not far away.
It's a little dark around.
Yunhai opened his hand and wanted to summon the lights, but was unsuccessful.
He was stunned for a moment.
"Sword come."
Empty hands.
Just like in Tianchui City, the spiritual power completely disappeared, and there was nothing left.
The wheels finally stopped.
The carriage stopped beside the official road.
The curtain was lifted, and the girl stuck her head out from inside, looking left and right.
"Little lady, you can't go further ahead, it's dangerous!"
The girl pointed at Chang Ming who was sitting and coughing on the side of the road.
"Isn't there another person, he is also very good!"
The driver sighed and said bitterly: "The front is the boundary monument, and further ahead, there will often be people from the party who loot and loot, you can't go!"
Girl: "But I heard that this year's Thousand Forests will be held in Shahai in the Western Regions. There are many immortals and masters. If I want to be a teacher and cultivate immortals, this is the only chance."
Coachman: "Those immortals are flying around, who would look down at the mortals on the ground, you little lady, you read a lot of words on weekdays, naive!"
The girl smiled and jumped off the carriage: "Abo, don't worry, I'm not afraid of them, you can go back first, I can do it alone."
She walked to Changming.
"Is Lang Jun also going to the Shahai in the Western Regions?"
Changming raised his head.
The girl is a little surprised.
"Lang Jun was born so well, I don't know if he is married?"
Yunhai came out of the woods and heard the girl asking Changming if he was married.
Straight to the point, straight to the point, and not shy.
Chang Ming is actually very patient, and has yet to answer.
The girl said: "Lang Jun, what do you think of me?"
Cloud Sea:…
"He's a monk and can't get married."
Yunhai replaced Changming and answered the girl's question.
The girl was not convinced: "Don't make fun of me, I know that monks also have Taoist companions!"
Chang Ming said: "You are old, your roots have grown, and your cultivation talent is mediocre. I am afraid it is difficult for a sect to accept you."
The girl bit her lip: "Then, I'll go watch the excitement, and after I've finished watching it, I'll give up and go back."
At first glance, she seems to have come out of the rich and noble family to spoil their daughters. She doesn't know the dangers of the world. Even if she has some skills, she is insignificant dust in front of people's hearts.
Changming looked at the bottom of her skirt.
The girl noticed his gaze and quickly retracted her feet, a little embarrassed.
"You are too rude!"
"If you want to go far, even your shoes are soft-soled shoes for walking in the boudoir. They are so thin that they will break in a few steps. The coachman just now is for your own good. I also advise you to go back. If you go further, there are not only robbers. , if the monks don’t agree with each other and fight, it’s easy to bring harm to the innocent.”
Hearing his words, the girl hugged her knees and squatted down a little.
"I have nowhere to go. Now that I go home, I will definitely be locked up, and I will not be able to go anywhere. I just want to take a look and see how the gods cultivate? Can you take me there?"
She looked up at Chang Ming with anticipation on her face.
Chang Ming: "Do you think I look like a good person?"
Girl: "It's pretty similar."
Chang Ming: "...What's your name?"
Girl: "Cong Rong, from Kyoto."
Chang Ming stood up for a while.
"The bushes of the jungle, the face of the face?"
Cong Rong: "You know me?"
Chang Ming: "I heard a little."
Cong Rong pouted: "Then don't talk about it, it's definitely not a good reputation!"
Changming smiled without saying a word.
"Where are the two gentlemen, what are your surnames?"
"My name is Changming, and his name is Yunhai."
Cong Rong's eyes wandered between the two.
"I always feel that you are very kind, as if you have seen them somewhere."
Changming: "Let's go."
Cong Rong: "Where are you going?"
Changming: "Qianlinhui, we'll take you on a ride."
Cong Rong became happy. She seemed to have an innate trust in Changming and Yunhai. Because Chang Ming told her that there would be a Yuru Town after turning over the Yuru Peak in front of her, and she could buy a lighter outfit in Yuru Town.
But before taking a few steps, Cong Rong's little lady began to feel sore in her legs, and gradually fell behind Changming and their boss.
Yunhai felt that Cong Rong was a complete burden.
He didn't even know that Chang Ming had acted shrewdly before, why he agreed to take her as soon as he was begged by this woman.
"You and her are old acquaintances?" Yun Hai asked.
"I have never met before." Chang Ming said.
"Don't forget, this is in the past." Yunhai reminded him.
Chang Ming: "If I remember correctly, there will be a shocking accident in Yuru Town tomorrow night. Many people died tragically overnight, then came back to life, turned into zombies, and wounded people everywhere. There were two people who arrived at Yuru Town the next day after the incident. Two people arrived here earlier than me. They rescued some people who were not deeply poisoned by corpses, including the girl named Cong Rong. She witnessed the bloody case. She was the only person who had ever seen the murderer, but after the incident, although her corpse poison was removed, she was blinded, left with a life-long disability, and the medicine was useless, and she was powerless to return to heaven."
Yun Hai understood what he meant: "Do you want to follow in person and find the murderer?"
Chang Ming: "One of the two people who arrived one step ahead of me is Situ Wanhe. The other one, by coincidence, has a lot to do with you."
Yun Hai raised his eyebrows: "I can't think of anyone other than you who would have a deep relationship with me."
Changming: "Your biological father, Yun Changan."
Cloud Sea:…
Chang Ming: "It's not a coincidence, that little lady Cong Rong that you despise in every possible way is your biological mother in the future."
Yunhai: ? ?
Looking at Chang Ming's playful face, he was speechless for a moment.
Yun Hai thought that the past they had returned to was after Yun Weisi became a teacher, but he did not expect the time to go back so early.
"Cong Rong, who was walking behind you, hasn't met Yun Changan yet. She ran away from home to escape from marriage. After Yuru Township's murder, she was blind, but she had Yun Changan's heart to protect her. The two families originally belonged to each other, but due to Cong Rong's blindness, the Yun family did not agree with this marriage, and even after you were born, they were not welcomed until the situation of the Hong family's government changed, and the two of them were also involved."
Changming said with a leisurely expression.
"I didn't expect to return to this time before, but since I'm here, maybe I can find out the truth, and by the way, save your mother's eyes."
"You wait for me, don't go too fast, it's dark, I'm afraid!"
Cong Rong's coquettish cry came from behind, she quickly caught up with the two of them, panting.
"Ming Langjun, you don't have a Taoist companion yet, do you really not consider me? I fell in love with you at first sight. If I have the predestined relationship to be your Taoist companion, I will definitely be single-minded and whole-hearted!" She didn't even look at Yunhai, a pair of His eyes were all glued to Changming.
The corner of Yunhai's mouth twitched slightly, feeling his hands a little itchy.
The author has something to say:
Small theater unrelated to the text:
Yunhai: (laughing) She is Yun Weisi's mother, not mine.
Chang Ming: Without Yun Weisi, can I have you
Yunhai: ... (Begins to seriously think about the feasibility of separating himself from Yun Weisi.)
