Death is already the only choice the painters can make.

It may not even be possible to escape, because those will write that someone once wanted to escape from here, but returned to the place where the altar appeared.

Just like every time you enter the painting, when you run to the edge of the painting, you will return to the original place, unless you can find the seal of the painter, you can escape and leave here forever.

But this is the real world, not a painting.

All of your speculations have confirmed that this is a real world. Those weird, miraculous and inconceivable things are all those ancient creatures buried deep in the ground, with the abilities of their high-level species, to the human world. impact made.

Therefore, this is not a painting, there is no signature or seal of the painter, there is no way for those who enter the painting to escape from life, here, there is only cruel death and reality.

The painters didn't even have a little more time to say goodbye to the real world. When the light completely disappeared into the darkness, everyone's skin revealed something darker than darkness. The bone pattern, densely packed, twisted and hideous, crawled all over the body ugly.

Everyone hadn't spoken to each other for a long time, just silently preparing the equipment to board the altar.

Ke Xun stuffed a photo album in his backpack, stuffed a box of chocolates that Mu Yiran gave him, put a pair of platinum pendants with Mu Yiran around his neck, and put both of them on his fingers. There is that ring.

"Wear this set." Ke Xun took out two sets of clothes from his pocket and handed them to Mu Yiran.

It's a couple outfit.

"When someone finds our bodies, they will definitely point at us and say: Oh, these two are a couple!" Ke Xun imitated the person who found the body and pointed to the ground, "then they will take pictures. , I will post it on Weibo after I go back, and there will definitely be many people coming to wax us, haha.”

Mu Yi Ran laughed, took over and replaced with him, and then the two looked at each other.

It went by without moving for a long time.

"I must be very ugly right now." Ke Xun rubbed his face, which was already covered with black asphalt-like bones.

Mu Yiran stretched out his arms and dragged him into his arms, hugged him, kissed him, and listened to his heavy breathing with choking in his nose.

"Yan Ran...Yan Ran..." Ke Xun clenched his clothes fiercely and buried his face on his shoulders, "I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid, but I'm afraid I'll never see you again."

Mu Yiran put his hand on the back of his head, rubbed it gently, tilted his head, put his mouth close to his ear, and sent a soft voice into his ear hole: "Don't be afraid, even if we become no The conscious body of the body will also be together. Remember, the program uses this method to find his son, no matter where his son is, he will not encounter any obstacles, he will definitely find him, just Just as you can find me, I can find you. Because the consciousness is…”

Speaking of this, Mu Yiran suddenly stopped, and Ke Xun raised his head to look at him. Seeing that he was brooding in thought, he didn't say anything, only looked at his profile quietly.

"The conscious body is," when Mu Yiran raised his eyes to look back at Ke Xun from his thoughts, with a glimmer of light like the top of a snow-capped mountain, "it is not affected by space and dimensions, it can exist across dimensions. , can also travel through time and space.”

"What do you mean..." Ke Xun vaguely understood what Mu Yiran was thinking, "'The body can't reach, only the heart can reach'?"

Mu Yiran nodded: "I think that the meaning of the senior master's words refers to this. The body can't reach, the heart, or the consciousness can reach, it is a different time and space or dimension.

"The ancient metaphysicians believed that the power of the mind is the most powerful force in the universe, and there is no place that the mind can't go to, and a single thought can go up and down the ancients and the present, and the world is boundless.

"The word 'Sincerity is Spirit' refers to the powerful power of the mind. If the mind is strong enough, it can change the cause and effect of the event. This 'change the cause and effect of the event' may refer to the property of the mind that is not limited by time and space. "

"So," Ke Xun's eyes lit up, "since it has been determined that the event of entering a painting will happen once every hundred years, that is to say, the method of using consciousness as a seal has also been determined to be useful, right? In other words, Consciousness can really exist independently of the body, right? Is there such a possibility - when our body dies, we can control our consciousness, cross time, and return to the real mountains and seas thousands of years ago world?"

"I think there are two possibilities," Mu Yiran said, "one possibility is as you said, we can control our consciousness to travel through time. But the other possibility is not ruled out, that is, after death, everything is nothing. The conscious body can still exist, but it is no longer in the form it once existed in our physical body.

"Our thoughts and memories are likely to be left in the physical body and die with it, and the conscious body, although 'alive', is no longer us.

"It's like a disc. Although the disc whose data has been erased is still a disc, it has become a blank disc without any data."

Ke Xun was agitated: "You said that my whole body is hairy, I feel like this is like a conscious zombie. Although it can still move, it has no thoughts."

"It's a very apt description." Mu Yiran was still in the mood to laugh, reaching out and stroking Ke Xun's head, "Then if the conscious body still retains our thoughts and memories, do you want to travel back to the world of mountains and seas to do it? what?"

"I'll just think about it, isn't the Great Witch Gaoyang Sect very awesome, can he see human consciousness?" Ke Xun blinked, "When the time comes, ask him to help us find a body for us to attach. Then we told him, let him think of a way to make the Jiuding stronger, and it is best to fix it firmly, so that the Jiuding will not disappear in the future, and those of us who have entered the painting will not have to experience it again. That's all, Jiuding Club has been playing the role of suppressing demons, let's cut off this painting incident from the root, what do you think?"

"Although I don't think your idea will succeed in all likelihood," Mu Yiran smiled, "but you can give it a try."

Ke Xun couldn't help laughing: "Am I so naive and cute? Did you find the treasure? That's it, I'll tell everyone later, let's make an appointment, if it really happens after death There is still a complete consciousness, let's try to travel through time."

"According to what you said, I am afraid that there will be a lot of corpses in this world." Zhu Haowen's voice came from the entrance of the tent, and he lifted the curtain and leaned in halfway, "If everyone can control after death. If you have your own conscious body, why don't you just return to your own body, or find a new body to possess?"

"The original body is already dead, and the functions of the body have ceased. If I go back, I can no longer manipulate the body," Ke Xun said. "There are other consciousness bodies in the living body, and of course there is no way to accommodate another body. Conscious body. But I think the Great Wu Gaoyang Sect will definitely have a solution to this problem."

"Maybe he will kill you as a demon." Zhu Haowen poured cold water on him mercilessly.

"Brother Wen'er, we are all about to die, can't you let me hold some naive hope for the afterlife?" Ke Xun spread his hands.

"Okay, Ke Tianzhen." Zhu Haowen stood at the entrance of the tent with his arms around his chest and looked at him, "Then tell me, if the Gaoyang Sect is powerful enough to control the human consciousness, why not let his consciousness find someone Attached, and then continuously choose the resurrection of the flesh for thousands of years to achieve immortality?"

"Ouch, my stomach hurts." Ke Xun said.

Zhu Haowen ignored his foolish behavior and continued: "We also said before that consciousness is another dimension of matter, and when it is combined with the body, the two exist together in our dimension, but once It leaves the body, and it immediately goes to another dimension.

"Although it can exist across dimensions, I don't think there is a way for a higher-dimensional matter to merge with a lower-dimensional matter.

"My personal view is that consciousness is a magical substance, which is produced in the biological body of the three-dimensional world, but it is a high-dimensional substance. Once it is separated from the body, it will become a pure high-dimensional substance. It cannot be reversed and combined with three-dimensional objects.

"But the Gao Yang clan and the ancestor of the warlock in the Qin Dynasty may be very few people who know how to establish a connection with the conscious body, so the "Shan Hai Tu" on the Jiuding has the energy of consciousness, so the bone phase "Shan Hai Tu" has inheritance. force.

"But I don't think they can do the operation of 'integrating different dimensions of matter' by combining the conscious body with the physical body. These three-dimensional creatures are attacked or controlled.

"To put it simply, they found a high-end weapon to deal with low-level creatures, but they couldn't have a way to combine high-end weapons and low-level creatures to make a low-level creature."

"It's very simple and easy to understand." Ke Xun gave him a thumbs up, then crooked the corners of his lips and smiled, "So, we still have no way to completely end this matter, we still Need to... die."

"Yes." Zhu Haowen was accustomed to being ruthless about his fate. "We die, and then become bullets for high-end weapons. These bullets are used up every hundred years, and new bullets will continue to be replenished."

Ke Xun rubbed his hair, turned around twice, then stood up and looked up at Mu Yiran and Zhu Haowen: "Then tell me, is this whole painting incident a metaphysical incident, or is it a metaphysical incident? A scientific event?"

"The end of science is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is theology." Zhu Haowen shrugged, "People tend to think that a phenomenon that science cannot explain is a metaphysical phenomenon, but this is probably not because of the scientific knowledge that human beings have at present, and it is still far away. It is far from enough to explain more unknown scientific phenomena."

"Then how did the Gao Yang clan and that senior metaphysician master this knowledge?" Ke Xun asked, "In their era, there were no scientific instruments and so much knowledge of mathematics and physics, so what was the basis for them to make high-end products? What about weapons?"

Zhu Haowen looked at him: "You mean, as long as we find the method they used, we can try to make a high-end weapon even if we don't have scientific instruments and scientific theoretical basis?"

"Yes." Ke Xun nodded.

However, Zhu Haowen spread his hands: "The answer to your question, maybe you can only use your consciousness to travel to the world of mountains and seas after you die, and ask Gao Yang's directly."

Ke Xun frowned slightly and thought for a while: "But I suddenly remembered a time paradox in Doraemon..."

Mu Yiran: "Robocat is..."

Ke Xun: "It's Doraemon."

Mu Yiran: "... Isn't it Doraemon?"

Ke Xun: "..."

Zhu Haowen: "..."

The author has something to say:

Big Brother: ... Why should you be humiliated in the blind spot of knowledge before you die? Let's see if this is what people do.

Ke Xun: The user consciousness of your cue has already flown to a higher dimension and is currently not in the physical area. Please cue again later.
