I was speechless by Tie Qing's question. Among us, there are top experts like Samsara and elite people like Bao Ruohan. It is very difficult to keep track of us, but Tie Qing can follow us silently. Behind us, it shows how powerful he is. Based on this alone, I couldn't refute the other party. I could only say with embarrassment: "Go on."
Tieqing smiled before saying: "When I arrived at Changyang Mountain, I remembered that I should have been there before. Moreover, I had entered the entrance of the wind formation. As for how I left Changyang Mountain and came back to I have no recollection of what was taken inside.”
"After I left Changyang Mountain, I remembered that I had been to Xingxiu Sea and hid something in the cave of Xingxiu Sea." Tie Qing said nothing about the inheritance of the Three-Eyed Clan in the Xingtian restricted area. Not to mention, in this case, I couldn’t ask more questions, so I simply pretended not to know anything and let him get over the matter of the Three-Eyed Clan.
Tie Qing said: "After I came here, I found the notes I had hidden here. But I found that I had been here more than once."
Tie Qing pointed at the note and motioned for me to read the contents of the note. After I flipped through a few pages, I couldn't help but frown.
On a certain day of a certain year: I found the cave where I once hid, but I don’t know if I was lucky or unlucky. There are my memories here, but only a few fragments. I have been to this cave more than once and left notes each time. At that time, I should have had a premonition that I would come again, looking for my notes and my memories. But when I came to this cave again, I didn't know where I left my notes? There are too many forks here, like an endless maze. If you hide something somewhere, you may not find anything the next time you come back. Because you have taken a fork in the road that you have never taken before.
A certain day, a certain year, a certain month: Valley, that place should be called Valley, right? It can make people's memories disappear the longer they stay outside. The more your memory disappears, until it is completely gone. Why did I stay outside the valley for so long? What am I looking for, or waiting for
On a certain day of a certain year and a certain month: I escaped back to this cave again. I found that every time I escaped, no matter what I forgot, I would never forget the location of this cave, even if I didn't get into the same fork in the road. I will also remember the location of the cave entrance. This cave must have a special purpose. But why have I never explored the secrets of the cave
On a certain day of a certain year and a certain month: It's time for me to leave, escape from this cave, escape from the Sea of Stars... Everything here seems extremely weird. This cave is even scarier than the valley over there. This is not a place that humans can touch. This is a forbidden area for humans. No one can survive.
On a certain day of a certain year and a certain month: I was ready to escape. I forgot how I escaped from the cave and the Sea of Stars several times last time. I didn’t even know that when I came back, I would still not be myself. However, I have to go, there is still hope for living. I have to find myself! Also, I vaguely remember, what have I lost here? What have I lost? I can't remember.
The irony note ends here.
I flipped through my notes and said, "Your notes don't seem to be complete? How many pages seem to have been torn out?"
Tie Qing said: "I don't know whether it was me or someone else who tore up the notes. When I just saw the notes, my first reaction was to leave the cave quickly. But my intuition told me that I couldn't Go, if you go out, you will die."
I couldn't help but frown: what Tie Qing said was obviously contradictory to the content of the note, but it made people think it made sense. Although there are unknown dangers hidden in the cave, there are known dangers outside the cave.
If Tie Qing is telling the truth, then the cave that allows him to escape death again and again is actually the most dangerous place.
I thought for a moment and then said: "In your memory, do you have any impression of the great hall outside?"
"It seems there is, or it seems there isn't? I don't know how to say it!" Tieqing shook his head, and I can probably understand. People's memories will always be blurry, and everyone has had the experience of seeing something that seems similar but not being able to remember it.
Tie Qing suddenly said: "Do you believe in reincarnation?"
I asked inexplicably: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is the past life and this life... How do I put it?" Tie Qing organized his words and said: "Sometimes, I even suspect that I may have died in this cave, and it was not me who came out, but My current life. What I awakened was not my own experience, but the memory of my previous life. When I say this, do you understand?"
Tie Qing said it vaguely, but I can understand it.
I said in a deep voice: "What are you going to do this time?"
Tieqing said: "Keep waiting, keep looking, and try to see if there is any chance. I always have a feeling that even if I encounter the worst outcome, I can still come back. I will come back endlessly until I can free myself. Until the secret of why you came back.”
At this point, Tie Qing changed the subject and said, "I rescued you because I actually had my own selfish motives. I can't even explore all the forks on my own, let alone reveal the secrets in the cave. So, I need help."
Tie Qing said bluntly: "Counting you, three groups of people have already arrived at Xingxiu Sea. I think you are the only ones who can cooperate with us. Of course, I am not forcing you to do anything, I am just seeking cooperation. You can think about it first. "
I am indeed considering it, but what I am considering is not whether we can cooperate or not, but the current state of Xingxiu Hai.
Unknowingly, I took out a pen and paper from my backpack and recorded everything that happened before:
So far, there have been two restricted areas in the Sea of Stars, one is the Forgotten Valley and the other is the Dark Fox Palace. I don’t know their real names, so I can only give them temporary names instead.
If I guessed correctly, they should be two forbidden areas, but I can't find the source of the myth.
According to "Fox Death Shouqiu", the Dark Fox Palace should be the ancestor of the fox...
I suddenly stopped writing here: "Forgotten Valley and Fox Mountain are also in a straight line!"
I suddenly realized: when we were observing Qin Baiyi, it happened to be on the side of the Fox Palace. I had always regarded Fox Mountain as the coordinate. It wasn't until now that I remembered that before Fox Mountain turned around, the position directly facing the fox's head should have been the Forgotten Valley.
Is the Forgotten Valley also a restricted area for the Fox Clan
Two fox restricted areas appear in one place at the same time
Could it be that this place is divided into three levels like the Gushan Secret Cave
There was a buzzing sound in my head. If that were the case, wouldn't I be jumping into the restricted area
If we compare it to the Secret Cave of the Solitary Mountain, the Dark Fox Palace is on the flat ground; the Forgotten Valley is on the top of the mountain; and now that we are going deep underground, we have entered the forbidden zone on the lowest level.
Not right either! The secret caves of Gushan rise step by step, but the three secret realms of Xingxiu Sea are in three directions, forming a tripartite state. They are definitely not rising step by step. Are they competing with each other
As one question after another kept flashing in my mind, Tie Qing suddenly said: "Have you remembered?"
I was also slightly stunned, and said excitedly: "Can you remember what happened just now? Try it. Try thinking about what happened three days ago. Can you remember it?"
Tieqing rubbed his hands and said: "Great, great... Finally someone can not be affected by the valley. I tried it, but it was affected by the valley in a short period of time, and I had to go into deep sleep to remember some things. Moreover, I can't remember it yet. If you stay near the valley for too long, no matter how much sleep you get, you won't be able to recover your memory. You can't remember it... "
Tie Qing didn't know that after I inherited "Xingtian's Ambition", many things could not shake my will. Although I was also affected by the Forgotten Valley, I recovered faster than ordinary people. I guess Xia Qingqing is about the same.
Just when I didn't know how to explain it to Tie Qing, there was suddenly a thumping sound in the distance. It sounded like someone jumping forward step by step.
Although the cave I am in is connected to four passages, each passage is only one meter high. It is barely possible for a person to squat in it. How can he jump up
I lowered my body and looked towards the place where the sound came from, but my view was blocked by the curve of the passage.
Tieqing shook his head and said: "You don't have to look, you can't see anything over there. This kind of sound comes out often. It will appear every once in a while. And it comes from different directions, and it will disappear after a while."
Tie Qing paused slightly and said: "Every time I go in and out of the cave, I am actually avoiding these sounds. You can find a hiding place by going to a place where there is no sound."
I frowned slightly and said, "Have you never explored the place where the sound came from?"
"Maybe there has been, or maybe not. I can't remember clearly." Tie Qing shook his head and said: "I estimate that this cave is like an ant cave, extending in all directions and complicated."
While Tie Qing was talking, Bao Ruohan, who was lying on the ground, suddenly moved. The other party quickly sat up: "Team leader? Where am I? Where is my brother?"
I stared at him closely and said, "You don't remember anything?"
"I..." Bao Ruohan scratched his head and said, "I remember the commander asked me to explore the forbidden area with you... and then... what happened next?"
My heart sank suddenly: Bao Ruohan's situation was more serious than I thought. He had completely forgotten what happened in the past two days.
When I turned to look at Tie Qing, the latter whispered: "For people affected by the valley, their memories disappear not from front to back, but from back to front. The closer things happened, the less they can remember them. However, the more recent they are, the less likely they are to remember." The memory will disappear faster in the future.”
