The night is dark and windy.
"Jiangyang City!"
Wearing the coarse cloth clothes of a gangster, holding an ordinary iron sword, and wearing a hat to prevent wind and sand on his head, this is exactly Yin Kuang's current attire. In order to hide himself, he also made some changes to his face. At this moment, he was standing at the gate of a large city with high walls and deep pond, looking up at the three characters "Jiangyang City" on the top of the gate.
However, it was not these three words that really attracted Yin Kuang's head. Instead, there is a row of corpses hanging above the three characters. There were men and women, old and young, a total of twelve people. Each of them was hanged to death, and their drooping corpses were blown by the wind. It was originally a cold night, but the atmosphere in the air became even more eerie because of these twelve hanging corpses.
Yin Kuang didn't stay too long. He looked away, jumped over the city wall more than ten feet high, and entered "Jiangyang City". With Yin Kuang's strength, the mere defenders could not detect him.
There is no curfew in the city, and the night market is bustling and crowded with people. Big red lights were hung high, and the city was enveloped in red light. Then, as if he were revisiting his old place, Yin Kuang strolled to a restaurant called "Zui Xian Lou".
Zuixianlou seems to be a famous and high-end restaurant in the city, and it is very lively inside. Various shouts, clashes of glasses, and a wisp of pipa playing lingered in my ears.
Yin Kuang, led by the waiter, sat down at a window seat and casually ordered a bottle of wine and a few side dishes. Taking advantage of the time when the food and drinks were not served, Yin Kuang looked around with a lively and curious look. Yin Kuang tried his best to make his gaze appear ordinary, without a trace of power, so that he would not be easily discovered.
Because there are several extraordinary plot characters in this "Drunken Immortal Tower". Jason Skywalker, Lu Yan who calls himself the Drunken Immortal, Jin Yanzi who plays the pipa, and someone Yin Kuang cannot see through, gathered in this restaurant.
Yin Kuang first followed the person he couldn't see through. Because he suspected that that guy was the person sent by Nanhai University to Yujiang Temple. Because when Lu Yan and Jason escaped from the mountains, he followed them. As for Jin Yanzi being here, maybe it's just a coincidence. So, a few people got together at the "Zui Xian Tower".
As in the original plot, Lu Yan took Jason here to drink and eat. At the same time, Lu Yan also wanted Jason to tell the legend about the "stick" and the "monkey". They did not deliberately lower their voices, so Yin Kuang heard their conversation clearly. And Jin Yanzi was leaning on a pillar, playing sad music quietly and lonely. As for the member of Nanhai University whom Yin Kuang suspected, he was dressed like a middle-aged man and was drinking and eating meat with a few friends he had just met. He looked quite bold.
Yin Kuang didn't pay attention to them deliberately. He carefully hid himself and drank by himself. When Yin Kuang found that there was nothing noteworthy, he fell into his own contemplation.
In fact, Yin Kuang has been thinking about some issues since he entered this world.
One of them is about the world of "The King of Kung Fu". In this world, there is the "Sun Wukong" and his "Ruyi Golden Cudgel", and the experience of being trapped in the "Five Finger Mountain" for 500 years. In the last world that Yin Kuang experienced, the world of "Journey to the West to Conquer the Demons", there was also "Sun Wukong", which was also sealed for 500 years. So the question becomes, what is the connection between "The King of Kung Fu" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"
The background of "Journey to the West to Conquer the Demons" is the early years of the Tang Dynasty. "The King of Kung Fu" does not name any dynasty, so it is an imaginary world. Monkeys and sticks exist in these two worlds at the same time, but the experiences of monkeys in the two worlds are completely different. One was pressed under the Wuzhi Mountain by Tathagata Buddha, and the other was sealed by the Jade War God with magic. At the end of the story, it was mentioned that "the Monkey King began his journey to the West to seek the true scriptures", which obviously returned to the story of "Journey to the West".
What is it that causes the story originating from the same "Journey to the West" to lead to completely different stories in the two worlds
Yin Kuang is not just thinking about "The King of Kung Fu" and "Journey to the West to Conquer Demons". There are others, such as "Havoc in Heaven", "Xi You Ji", "The Great Sage", "The Romance of the Immortal Couple", etc. These are stories that should be in the world of "Journey to the West", but they take place in different worlds.
From the perspective of an outsider (the audience), thinking about this kind of problem is simply a waste of energy after being full. Isn't it just because the screenwriters and directors are different? What else is there to think about
However, Yin Kuang is not an outsider. He and the other members of the university are miserable insiders. Therefore, Yin Kuang cannot use the "correct" conclusion that "it is all the fault of the screenwriter and director" as an excuse to not think about this issue.
Last time, it was "Journey to the West to Conquer the Demons", this time it is "The King of Kung Fu", who knows if the next time it will be "The Great Sage of Love"? When Yin Kuang came into contact with the "axis", the "world", and mastered the art of traveling, he felt more and more that by understanding the connection between the world and the world, he would be able to uncover some unknown secret.
There are also some complicated problems that have never been considered before, but now they are all popping up - Yin Kuang feels that these may be problems that naturally emerge after his strength reaches a certain level, or that these problems already exist In the brain, it's just that I didn't have enough strength before and couldn't "remember" it.
For example, in this world Jackie Chan is "Lv Yan", in "The Adventures of Jackie Chan" he is "Jackie Chan", and in "The Myth" he is "Meng Yi" and "Jack" at the same time; and Liu Yifei in this world It's "Golden Swallow", it's "Little Dragon Girl" in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it's "Zhao Ling'er" in "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Jet Li is the same... But in the original real world, they are Jackie Chan and Liu Yifei , Jet Li, are all stars.
There are countless examples of this. So the question becomes, who are they
Are they playing different roles, or do they exist in different worlds and have different destinies
The former assumption is from an outsider's perspective. So from an insider's perspective, the answer is obviously the latter. If this is the case, can it also be understood that in the world that "I" don't know, there is another "I". He is not the "I" in this world, and his life trajectory and experiences are completely different from "I".
In this way, a huge contradiction arises: he is not "I", but "I" is him, so who exactly is "I"
If one day, if possible, Lu Yan and Jackie Chan meet, Zhao Ling'er and Liu Yifei meet, Sun Wukong from "The King of Kung Fu" and "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" meet, the "me" of this world and the "me" of another world meet. …what will happen!
Yin Kuang banged on the table and fell into deep thinking.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across Yin Kuang's mind: Silent Hill!
As if a floodgate had been opened, the past suddenly poured into Yin Kuang's mind like a torrent: four identical "Silent Hills", each of which had Zhang Jie, Zhang Jie's father, younger brother, and Cha. Teacher Ren... In the end, "Jun" gathered "Cha Ren", "Old Man Zhang" and "Zhang Jie" from the four worlds in the "chess world", and then... In Jun's memory, he seemed to let "Cha Ren" "Zha Ren" kills the other three "Cha Ren", becomes a real person, and goes to the so-called "Elysium World"...
And Yin Kuang remembered that the moment they left Silent Hill, they clearly saw his body.
Could it be... that he wants to kill all the "Is" in different worlds, the only one in the end!
Yin Kuang's hand couldn't help but tremble.
How can "I" in different worlds meet each other
In Silent Hill, "keys" can lead to other "Silent Hills". So how can "I" go to other worlds to meet "I"
axis!
As if everything fell into place, Yin Kuang thought of "axis". In the library, the "axis" is the "channel" leading to the upper floors, and the channel leading from the university to the scene world is slanted and round, isn't it just like an "axis"
If this is the case: "The King of Kung Fu", "Journey to the West to Conquer the Demons", "The Great Sage of Love" and other scene worlds derived from "Journey to the West" are run through by an "axis", just like a candied haws, Then, the world of "Journey to the West" should be the "original world", and other worlds are "derived worlds". In this way, it is linked to the "source" again.
"Source", what exactly does it mean
Yin Kuang discovered that all the questions now converged on the "axis" and "source".
Pouring a glass of wine, he raised his head and drank it, "I really don't want to know, I'm scared when I think about it..." Feeling the spicy wine passing through his intestines, he felt mixed feelings in his heart, "Maybe I really want to kill the existence." The 'me' in another world..." Although I have already had an experience with "jun", if everything goes as I guess and kills "me", it will not be an easy thing after all.
Yin Kuang couldn't help but think mischievously: "If Jin Yanzi masters the 'axis' one day and finally goes to the real world to kill Liu Yifei, then that will really be the gossip that deserves to make headlines!"
And just when Yin Kuang was chanting "Golden Swallow" in his heart, he suddenly heard a pipa sound in his ears, which pulled Yin Kuang back from his thoughts. Yin Kuang couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He subconsciously raised his eyes and met a pair of cold eyes, which were as cold as ice that would never melt for thousands of years.
It’s the Golden Swallow!
"Did she find out?"
