A small internal turmoil did not affect Mu Yiran. Seeing that Shao Ling was choked by the dog who protected his master, he was temporarily speechless, and Mu Yiran quickly picked up the previous topic and continued to talk.
"Mr. Shao's question just now is exactly what I want to say next. The question about why Ke Xun and I can still see and hear you after being isolated in another space, but cannot touch you. Mu Yiran looked at the people in front of her with stern eyes, "Because, at that time, it was not me and Ke Xun who were in another dimension, but you."
Everyone looked at him in surprise and shock, and even Shao Ling looked over with doubts.
"The burning rhinoceros can connect the two worlds of yin and yang, or in other words, it can connect different spaces," Mu Yiran said, "Wen Qiao can't see the spirits in the water because the spirits are in another dimension, but after burning the rhinos, there are spirits that appear. Fighting the fire, the space where this spirit monster is located is already the space where Wen Qiao is located, which is what we call the Yangjie.
"So, when Ke Xun and I lit the rhinoceros horns to see the pheasant, it was me, Ke Xun, and the pheasant who were really in the Yang Realm. Therefore, since we can't touch you, and the space you are in is the one that immediately after we entered the painting In the space, it can be inferred that…”
Mu Yiran looked at the crowd and said word by word: "From the beginning of the painting, the place we are in is not the world. We have always lived in another space."
Everyone was dumbfounded at this time, and no one spoke for a while.
"I think this is probably the most cunning part of the pheasant," Mu Yiran continued, "from the very beginning, it set up an illusion space for us to last for a long time, and then in this illusion, every night We create small hallucination spaces that are only one night long, which leads us to assume that hallucinations only exist at night, and that once the hallucinations are present, we cannot see, hear, and feel each other.
"This is where the biggest trick designed by Pheasant is—space sets space, illusion sets illusion. Simply put, what it sets up for us is a nested phantom space.
"It has two purposes, one is to trap us with the nightly embedded illusion, and the other is to confuse us with the embedded illusion, so that we don't realize that there is an illusion of a coat outside.
"But in our civilization of gods and ghosts, there are ways to decipher many mystical and strange things, and the one that can decipher the illusion of the pheasant is probably the rhino horn that can communicate with the two worlds after being ignited. Coincidentally, these were enshrined by the Qin Emperor. The ship on which Zhiling went to sea to find immortals was filled with gifts, medicinal materials, fabrics, calligraphy and painting documents, and precious jewels prepared for the visit.
"As Luo Yao said earlier, rhino horns were quite valuable at that time, so they were brought on board as a gift for a visit, and it happened to be the only thing that could decipher the illusion space.
"So, I think, in order to completely escape the illusion space we are in now, the only way is to light the rhino horn."
"However, we have ignited rhino horns more than once, aren't we still in this illusion?" Luo Meng asked.
"Then recall, from the very beginning, we only lit rhinoceros horns on the boat," Mu Yiran said, took a rhinoceros horn, and walked to the side of the boat, "Since this painting is called 'The Burning Rhinoceros at Sea', it is always Only use the rhino light to illuminate the sea.”
So he borrowed a flint and flint from Luo Meng and lit the rhino horn in his hand.
Ke Xun took a step and stood beside him, holding his arm with one hand. The others also quickly stood by the side of the boat, and by the light of the rhinoceros horn in Mu Yiran's hand, they looked at the dark sea under the boat together. .
The rhinoceros horn was lifted above the sea, and the light shone on the sea surface. It was strangely refracted by the water waves and scattered. The dark and rich color of the sea surface scattered by the light seemed to be sucked away, and gradually became Clear and transparent.
Immediately afterwards, everyone was surprised to see that there were a few stars under the sea, and it seemed that there were still clouds floating in the air. And under the stars and clouds, there seems to be another deep blue sea, which is surging slowly.
"This is..." Wei Dong leaned forward and looked desperately at the sea, then looked at everyone in surprise, "If you read it right, there seems to be another sky and sea under this seabed?!"
"Could it be that there is another dimension under the sea?" Qin Ci looked at Mu Yiran.
Mu Yiran looked at the crowd and said calmly: "I personally think that the space below is the real way out. Therefore, we have to go to sea."
"Please wait a moment," Shao Ling finally said again, "If the space below is the Yang Realm, then what you said just now is the real Yang Realm after you and Ke Xun ignited the rhino horns and saw the pheasant. At that time, you should still be on this ship, right? What does it have to do with the space below?"
Mu Yiran looked at him: "I said just now, this is a nested illusion space, inside a large illusion space, there are several small illusion spaces, and outside this big illusion space, there may be a With a larger space, this space is the Yangjie."
Shao Ling froze in place, obviously his thinking speed was still one step slower than Mu Yiran.
"To put it bluntly, all illusions are actually established within the Yang Realm, so when Ke Xun and I ignited the rhinoceros horns, although the position has not changed, we are actually in the Yang Realm." Mu Yi said. .
"Then we also directly ignite the rhinoceros horns, can't we return to the Yang Realm, why do we still have to go to sea?" Shao Ling asked.
"Returning to the Yang Realm is not the goal, to find the seal, it is to return to the real world." This time it was Ke Xun who answered him.
Shao Ling did not give up and asked again: "If the method of breaking the game for this painting is really as simple as using the rhino horn to illuminate the sea, then don't the pheasants worry that we will use the rhino horn to illuminate the sea on the first night? ?"
"The rhino horn was placed under the floor of the captain's room along with a few boxes of bamboo slips at the beginning," Zhu Haowen answered him this time, "If these people in our paintings can't think of Niu Zhu's burning the rhinoceros, they will never Will use rhino horns to illuminate the sea, so what awaits us will be a mortal situation.
"And if you can think of the burning rhinoceros monster, you will be like us on the first day, worrying that burning the rhinoceros will lead to death, after all, Wen Qiaozhao has been in the water, and he is dead, so it will not be easy to burn the rhinoceros to the sea. .
"Take a 10,000 step back, even if all of us are very bold and dare to burn the rhinoceros on the first night, but we have not experienced the baptism of illusions and the deaths of members for five nights, how dare we when we first entered the painting. Are you sure, what you see under the sea is not a trap? You don't even dare to enter the sea now, let alone the first day we entered the painting, and we are still confused, it is even more impossible to enter the sea.
"And Ke Xun said that before killing the pheasants, there were strange sounds in the sea water. These sounds must be auditory illusions made by the pheasants, in order to prevent us from entering the sea and finding the real way out. Who would dare to enter the sea after hearing these sounds
"So the pheasant has set up such a situation, there is nothing to worry about, it is originally something that uses people's emotions and psychology to create illusion traps, and it must be very clear about the psychology of us people. And even if we are really lucky enough , on the first day, the rhinoceros lit up the sea, and boldly jumped into the sea to find a way out, and finally was able to paint the painting without damage. That's not surprising. It seems that there is no rule that thirteen people can't come in. , thirteen people go out."
Shao Ling didn't speak any more, but several old members could see that this guy's paranoia had reoccurred, and he was obviously hesitating whether going to sea was the right thing to do.
"There is no more time to waste," Ke Xun began to undress. "We need to dive into that space before the voting time ends, and find the seal in that space."
The rest of the people stopped thinking about it, and took off the robes that got in the way. Even Qin Ci, who has always been calm and reserved, took off his clothes with great enthusiasm...
Shao Ling looked at these people and couldn't help frowning.
These guys... old and young are so self-willed, how can this team's behavior go astray...
He was still hesitating here, when he suddenly saw Ke Xun calling Wei Dong and Luo Xun to come together, and then he took off his clothes. Shao Ling hurriedly struggled, but where was the opponent of these three guys, to be honest, Ke Xun alone If I could clean him up, I called Wei Dong and Luo Meng to save time.
"What are you still pondering?" He heard Ke Xun chatting with him while picking him up. "Have you been in this illusion for five days, have you figured out a way out? We're all gone and you're alone, you can Have you found a way out? Three shorts and one long are the longest, this is the last choice, hurry up and follow us!"
Shao Ling: "..." What the hell is it that you choose the longest among three shorts and one long? Does it have any blood relationship with choosing to jump into the sea? ! Whose salty pig hand touched my private parts? ! Stop it! No panties are allowed!
Shao Ling was in a hurry by these three guys, his thoughts collapsed, and he was pushed to the side of the ship in a mess.
After taking a closer look, he found that Mu Yiran's clothes were in good condition, and hurriedly said, "He hasn't..."
Before the word "Tuo" was spoken, Ke Xun stuffed a rhino horn into his mouth: "I will go into the sea and hold it in my mouth for a while, and use my hands to paddle."
"Huh?!" Shao Ling looked at him in amazement.
The one who answered his question was the neatly dressed Mu Yiran: "We need to burn the rhinoceros under the sea so that we can take us to that space with the help of the rhinoceros light."
"Hmm?" Shao Ling was so surprised that he even forgot to take the rhino horn out of his mouth and asked again.
The smart and well-dressed Mu Yiran understood his doubts very well: "Since this painting is full of mystical colors, then we should look at everything in it with mystical eyes-here I also have to reflect on myself, As a modern person, I am not always used to thinking about mystical things with divergent thinking. So before, my thinking was constrained by the word "burning rhinoceros", and the focus only fell on the word "burning", but did not follow The 'rhinoceros' itself is deeply and divergently thought. And just after I used the rhino horn to shine across the sea, I suddenly remembered a paradoxical and legendary saying about the 'rhinoceros'.
"The ancients said that the rhinoceros is a psychic beast living in the sea. Its horns can avoid water, so it is also called the 'water-avoiding rhinoceros'. And I vaguely remember a few words from the book, from the "Compendium of Materia Medica" According to the record: the horns on the brain of those who reach the sky will pass through thousands of years... If they can breathe out and reach the sky, they will be able to open the mind, break water, and scare chickens.
"I remember these contents scattered and fragmented, and they are all broken sentences, so I didn't think of rhino horns before, but now that I think about it, the so-called 'horns on the brain of the sky-reaching person' should refer to rhinoceros, and breaking water is to avoid water. So, I think we burn the rhinoceros under the sea, and the rhinoceros light should not be extinguished."
Shao Ling was speechless.
There were only six rhino horns left, which was not enough for seven people to have one. Mu Yiran asked, "Is there anyone who can't swim?"
"My water is not very good." Zhu Haowen said.
"I... I'm weak, I'm afraid I won't have the strength to swim after I go to sea..." Luo Meng raised his hand tremblingly.
Seeing this, Ke Xun pointed at Zhu Haowen: "I'll take it with me after I go to sea..."
"You bring Luo Xun," Mu Yiran replied lightly, "I bring Haowen to share a rhinoceros horn, Doctor Qin, Wei Dong and Shao Ling, the three of you take care of each other."
Everyone responded, and Ke Xun also honestly said "oh".
Without further ado, everyone lit the rhino horns, Mu Yiran and Zhu Haowen jumped into the sea first, and the others followed.
Shao Ling was trying to stop and remind them, "You have used all the rhino horns. If you don't succeed this time, you will cut your own way, and there will be no way to leave!" - I don't know who kicked him from behind, and gave him the He kicked into the sea.
