Tang You has never played a holographic game console on the market, but he knows that the current technology cannot make the senses so realistic, so he feels it for a long time and is sluggish.
Really crossed? How could such a thing happen? He still has to deliver a courier in the afternoon, can he still go back? What if I can't go back? Will he be fired? He finally found a job... Wait, if he can't go back, will he be a tree for the rest of his life
He stared blankly at a small piece of cloud in the sky, feeling that the whole tree was bad, until the tree next to him barked three or four times before he heard it, and looked over blankly: "... huh?"
The advantage of wearing a tree is that the branches and leaves can be used as eyes, except that you can't move, you can look in any direction you want. Yin Zhan glanced at him: "Ah, what? How's your master singing this song?"
"...It's alright," Tang You slowly regained his composure, "By the way, why did you say it was coming, what do you mean?"
"You don't need to ask," Yin Zhan lazily elongated his voice, and said in a tone of "don't try to hide it from me", "I have seen that you have learned the way, and in the past few days you will be wise and talk People say."
Tang You was shocked again, stunned, not sure if it was due to the time-traveling machine, and did not dare to confess that he was time-traveling, lest he be regarded as a heretic and exterminated, tentatively asked: "Then... Senior, do you think I can cultivate into a human being?" ?”
"Yes," Yin Zhan encouraged shamelessly, "Once you deepen your knowledge, you will naturally transform."
It turns out that you can still turn back into a human! Tang You breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that it was useless, because he didn't know the method of cultivation at all, so he was silent for a few minutes, and said cautiously: "Senior..."
"Just call me brother." Yin Zhan interrupted. Although he can indeed be Tang You's senior, this child is the destined person chosen by Bodhi Mirror after all, and he doesn't take advantage of it.
"Oh, good," Tang You asked, "Brother, I can finally talk. I don't know how to practice better. Do you have any suggestions?"
Yin Zhan said, "It's still the same as before."
Tang You held back for a while in silence: "No need to change?"
"No need," Yin Zhan was very precise, knew what he wanted to ask, and said nonsense in a serious manner, "You can take ten deep breaths in the morning, noon and evening, and shake the leaves."
Tang You succeeded in formulating the words and was happy: "Okay!"
Yin Zhan reminded: "It's noon now, don't forget to practice."
Tang You hurriedly responded: "Thank you brother!"
"It's okay, you don't need to be polite to brother." After Yin Zhan finished speaking, he heard the sound of regular breathing coming from around him, and thought to himself that it was easy to lie.
Now that they have become trees, they will probably be trees in this life and cannot be changed. But this kid wanted to be an adult, why didn't he choose to dress as an adult? He was surprised, but he didn't intend to break through the layer of paper. When he realized that Tang You's "cultivation" had come to an end, he chatted with him without saying a word.
Tang You was curious: "Who did you learn that song from?"
"There were human beings who came to travel before and hummed this song, so I learned it by the way," Yin Zhan asked, "You were there at that time, don't you remember?"
Tang You's heart skipped a beat: "I... I forgot, forgot."
Yin Zhan was quite meaningful: "You forgot..."
Tang You was frightened to death, afraid of being seen through, subconsciously shrank the leaves.
"Ah, I remembered," Yin Zhan had had enough of teasing, and threw an excuse in time to prevent him from living in trembling, "After enlightenment, sometimes there will be memory fragmentation, I don't blame you."
Tang You was really fooled, and even his voice was light: "Hey, after you say that, I find that there are many things that I can't remember clearly."
"It's okay, it's nothing important." Yin Zhan continued to chat with him and commented.
Good temper, a little dull, simple minded, easy to be satisfied.
Maybe someone else would like it
It's a pity that he is Yin Zhan's destined person.
The two chatted until the evening, Tang You bathed in the setting sun, and suddenly asked: "Brother, why don't you practice? Come, let's take a deep breath and shake the leaves together."
"..." Yin Zhan said nonsense again in a serious manner, "You can practice, I have a deep knowledge, mainly relying on meditation."
Tang You admired him very much and didn't bother him anymore.
As night falls, the crescent moon hangs high.
The two are now trees. Although it doesn't feel like not resting, some habits cannot be changed. Tang You said good night and went to bed early.
Except for Yin Zhan drinking a pot of family wine in the underworld and getting a full night's sleep, he hasn't slept well in these years. Looking at the blurred mountain shadow in the distance, he stood upright in the endless night for a long time, and he didn't feel a little sleepy until the sky became brighter, and he started dreaming in a daze.
In the dream is the familiar Hades.
Above the main hall, the voice of the Underworld Lord is majestic and full of oppression.
"Can you plead guilty?"
There was silence all around, and under the flickering candlelight, the shadows were drawn bleakly and blurred. Yin Zhan knelt in front of the hall, feeling the blood flow down his forehead and into his eyes, scarlet. The robe on his body that symbolizes the identity of the master of the ten halls of the underworld has long been torn, but his back is still stretched straight, he raised his eyelids, and said hoarsely: "I recognize it."
Father Yin let out a long sigh and turned his head away.
Lord Ming stared down at Yin Zhan, with no trace of joy or sorrow on his face, and spoke slowly after a few breaths.
"Yin Zhan, the master of the Falling Soul Palace, had no way of knowing, was bold, trespassed into the forbidden area, damaged the return to heaven formation, and killed Sinan Shoujing. His crimes are unforgivable, but he thought there was a reason for this, and he once made military exploits in the Earth Demon Dao." , so the thunder punishment was exempted, half of his cultivation was cut off, his magic power was sealed, and he was thrown into a wordless prison and imprisoned for a hundred years."
Yin Zhan suddenly woke up.
He hadn't had a dream for a long time, especially a dream when the dust had settled, and he couldn't help feeling a familiar sense of self-loathing in his heart, and he immediately clicked his tongue uncomfortably.
Tang You just woke up: "What's wrong?"
Yin Zhan opened his mouth and said, "I'm a little annoyed that I haven't seen a breakthrough until I reached the ninth floor."
Tang You always felt that he was very powerful, and comforted him: "There is no rush for this kind of thing, take your time."
Yin Zhan: "Yes."
Tang You couldn't help asking: "If you become an adult, what do you want to do?"
Yin Zhan said, "I haven't thought about it, how about you?"
Tang You thought about it: "Brother... I will probably find a job."
Yin Zhan's thoughts slowly broke away from the old feelings, and he asked casually, "Oh, what job?"
Tang You didn't even think about it: "Send the courier."
Yin Zhan: "..."
The two chatted again, and Tang You noticed that there was a cloud of hazy white mist in his memory, and remembered that the original owner of the body selected by the machine was written in the manual before the time travel, and they all wanted to die. You can inherit the memory of the original body just by sleeping.
At that time, he thought it was the background of the game and didn't pay attention to it. He didn't pay attention to it until now.
The rules did not say whether it is useful for other species. Although it is not clear whether this tree does not want to live, but in terms of memory, it has been verified that it seems to be effective, but it is not very helpful... But this works, proving that the system does not The collapse is too severe, he set the end time, will it be useful
He was suddenly troubled.
At that time, the two were talking about how long it would take to become an adult. Yin Zhan had just finished answering the question of hundreds of years when he heard a vague sigh, thinking that the boy thought it was too long, and said with a smile, "What's the hurry, take it slowly."
Tang You thought that this was the only way to go, and suppressed the restlessness.
There are many trees around, and only they can communicate, which means they depend on each other. Tang You used to deliver couriers outside, but now he can't move, and feels uncomfortable all over, so he has nothing to say: "Brother, you are smarter than me, have you ever encountered anything fun?"
"Why, are you bored?" Yin Zhan thought to himself that it is normal to be unable to bear the loneliness compared to being imprisoned for a hundred years, and said, "Come on, brother will tell you a story."
Tang You came to the spirit: "Okay!"
Yin Zhan said slowly: "There is a family, because the ancestors have made great contributions, they are blessed by God, so the descendants can have a happy marriage..." He blurred the existence of the bodhi mirror and made up something else, but The general idea has not changed.
"Generation after generation, the people in the family are living well, the family is happy, and their careers are successful. One of the sons of the patriarch of this generation was named a general at a young age. The young general has reached the age of marriage, but due to the war. There was a delay, and it was at this time that he met a person and fell in love with him at first sight."
Tang You subconsciously asked: "Is this person his destiny?"
Yin Zhan smiled lazily, and continued: "The major general is young and vigorous, and he is a strong man. When he fell in love with him, he decided to get it. Fortunately, the other party also liked him, so they got together soon, fighting side by side, inseparable..." He was quiet for two or three seconds, and said, "Everyone thinks their fate is predetermined, even they themselves think so. Of course, even if it's not, they don't care, but it turns out...it really isn't."
Tang You said "ah" in surprise: "Then what happened after that?"
Yin Zhan said lazily, "Later..."
Tang You listened carefully.
Yin Zhan asked: "Want to know?"
Tang You said, "Yeah!"
Yin Zhan said, "I won't tell you."
Tang You was stunned: "Why?"
Yin Zhan laughed, with an inexplicable meaning: "Because the Lord is happy."
Tang You wanted to scratch his head, but found that there was no way to do this action. He has always been soft-tempered, and if others didn't tell him, he didn't ask any more.
The cliff is high, and from here one can only see the sea of clouds churning, like the rushing of the Milky Way, and layers of broken gold appear in the morning light. Perhaps because of the mention of the past, Yin Zhan still felt lonely looking at the obviously magnificent scene.
The whole underworld knows that the first love of the Yin family will be a destined person, and they can blossom and bear fruit, except for the fifth child of the Yin family. Some people also speculate that things will get to this point because they violated the way of heaven together.
What about the way of heaven
He couldn't help sneering.
Tang You was surprised: "Brother?"
"Well," Yin Zhan resumed his unserious tone, "Come on, let me tell you another story."
Tang You was worried: "You won't say half of it again?"
"No." Yin Zhan assured.
He knew that Tang You was not wrong, but that he was somewhat innocent because of the involvement of heaven, so he had no resentment or disgust towards the child, so he just treated him as a younger brother. When he was in the underworld to fight chaos, he saw too many people and things. Although he was proud and arrogant at that time, he watched a lot of fun because of his lover and had a lot to say.
He asked, "Have you heard of the underworld?"
Tang You said, "Hell?"
Yin Zhan said: "It is, but not all. It is different from what humans think. There are no eighteen hells. There are flowers on the other side, Wangchuan River, and Sansheng Stone. Sansheng Stone is still a very popular tourist attraction, but There are only two tours a year, and only one hundred people are recruited each time... "
As he spoke, he heard only a little movement from the woods, and then an animal that looked like a wolf but not a wolf rushed out. The two of them looked at it together, and before they could figure out what species it was, they saw it go around and ran to Yin Zhan raised his hind legs to urinate, and walked away staggeringly.
Tang You: "..."
Yin Zhan: "..."
Tang You hurriedly looked up at the sky, pretending not to see anything, and asked in a low voice after about a minute, "Brother, are you still telling stories?"
Yin Zhan swallowed a mouthful of blood, and said, "... tell me, I want to talk about something."
Tang You obediently responded without urging. Yin Zhan spoke a few words at random, and felt that the humidity in the air was getting thicker, and a needle-like uneasiness flashed in his heart. It was so inexplicable that he swallowed the rest of the words.
Sure enough, after noon, the sky darkened, with strong winds, thunder and lightning, and heavy rain, which continued until night. The rainwater pools together and flows quickly from higher places to lower places.
There was a slight "click" in the darkness, and it was instantly submerged in the torrential rain.
Yin Zhan looked at the woods behind him suddenly, and saw the surging mudslide in the dazzling light of lightning. The two trees beside him were rolled down first, but the root of one of them was already entangled with his, dragging him along with him in an instant. Falling off a cliff.
There was only one thought in his mind, what kind of world did this damn boy choose!
