The feeling of lack of oxygen was not pleasant. I closed my eyes, slowed down my breathing speed, and my pulse rate also suddenly slowed down. In this case, I was sure that I could persist for more than three minutes.
"Where are you?" I asked the other person, still using the word "voice".
"Here." He replied immediately, but his voice rang in my ears. He was no longer communicating with his "heart's voice".
"With your level of intelligence, you probably know that people on earth cannot survive for too long without oxygen, right?" I heard the sound of wind, the chirping of birds, and in the distance, there was splashing when a mountain stream fell into a deep pool.
The sound of water.
"Of course, if there is a lack of oxygen in the air, it will really be a disaster for the people on earth. However, there are one in ten million people on earth who are special cases. They have some kind of strange mutated genes and can obtain water or water.
The oxygen element in solids is a fish in water and an eagle in the sky. The human body structure is very scientific. When all potentials are unleashed, one person can complete the work that can only be done by a team of 10,000 people."
He talked eloquently, occasionally mixed with sighs.
The feeling of suffocation disappeared, I lifted my breath vigorously and prepared to open my eyes.
"Wait a minute, are you sure you won't turn pale when you see me?" He sighed again.
"Square-eyed humanoid? I guess you can't be weirder than the Sphinx in the Egyptian desert, right? Besides, I have already seen your appearance in an ancient book, and I have also come into contact with you in hallucinations——"
I opened my eyes and suddenly found bright flashes everywhere. I immediately closed my eyes again to prevent my eyes from being damaged due to "snow blindness".
"The Sphinx? Ha, that's a self-portrait left by alien visitors. How can it compare with me? I have to explain to everyone I meet that I am an Earthling and one of their kind, but few people are willing to do so.
I believe, I hope you will be the second one." He was mocking himself, his tone was extremely bitter.
"The second one? Who is the first one? 'King of Tomb Robbers' Yang Tian?" I was keenly aware that in the other person's mind, the eldest brother Yang Tian was a great man.
"Haha, that's right. Think about things that Emperor Qin and Han Wu couldn't understand back then, but he could understand the ins and outs of it just by listening to it once. I can only say that he is the top species among the people on earth. In our era, he can understand that kind of thing.
Characters are called 'celestial beings', just like the ancient emperors called themselves 'sons of heaven'."
I raised my hands to cover my eyes and looked out from between my slightly open fingers. Hunters in the snowy areas near the Arctic Circle use this little trick to carefully protect their eyes.
Opposite is a wall made of amethyst stones. The wall is completely transparent. I can see directly through it and see large tracts of water plants, with the witch's hair floating and swaying. There are also walls on the left and right sides, respectively.
It is composed of citrine and red spar, so the water plants outside also turn yellow and red accordingly.
I quickly turned around and saw no cracked golden eggs, but a wall of black crystal stones of extremely high quality. In comparison, the sky-high-priced crystal stones circulating on the market could only be regarded as defective products.
.Now, these priceless treasures are only used to build walls, which is a waste of resources.
The dazzling crystal took away my attention. When I turned around again, twenty steps away, a warrior wearing ancient armor leaned against the wall and stared at me silently. He wore a golden mask on his face, and his eyes
The part is cut into the style of red phoenix eyes most respected by ancient people, with the corners of the eyes flying upward, tall and free and easy.
"Hello." I nodded.
"Hmm, hello." He raised his left hand and responded to me, but the strong wariness between them made the scene extremely tense.
He is a "person", at least that's what he looks like on the surface. He has a healthy and upright body, sound limbs, and the raised hand has five fingers like us humans.
"I don't mean any harm, don't worry." He left the wall and strode towards me.
I stood calmly in a T-shaped step, setting up a Tai Chi portal that could be advanced, attacked, retreated or defended, with a slight smile on my lips.
When he was still five steps away from me, he stopped, tilted his head, and looked me up and down: "Because of your arrival, the energy field suddenly changed abnormally, so I sent a message to ask you to come down. However,
Now it seems that you are no different from others, not even as good as Tang Xin, who has already cultivated immortality and enlightenment, and entered the palace. Why is this? Is there something wrong with my sensing ability? "
I have seen his eyes clearly, and they have dark pupils and the whites of normal eyes. Without the preconceived impression of a "square-eyed warrior", anyone would regard him as one of their own kind.
"Where is Tang Xin? Where is my friend Su Lun?" I smiled, tensing the muscles in my forearm, and the hidden short knife could be unsheathed at any time.
"They are all fine, nothing will happen to them. You can meet them at any time - if you are willing to answer my questions." He rubbed the gray leather belt around his waist, raised his chin, and stared with burning eyes.
on my face.
The cowhide soft armor on his body is exactly the same as the one in the round stone house. There is a brass forged breast shield fastened on the front, and the arms and shoulders are partially embedded with copper nails as big as peanuts. Ancient military uniforms have changed from generation to generation.
, I can recognize that this is the unique soft armor of cavalry from the Qin Dynasty, which is the earliest prototype of the "iron-armored chain horse" that was praised and practiced by later generations.
"A cavalryman from the Qin Dynasty has been hiding under the mountain? Or is it someone who is playing tricks and fabricating such weird things?" My eyes fell on the cowhide boots under his feet. They were very new, with only a small trace of wear.
It is by no means an ancient relic that has been through for thousands of years.
"What's the problem?" I stopped the hundreds of questions that were rolling in my mind and only looked at the present.
"In the history of the earth, has there ever been an era where everyone's eyes were square, but they could receive visual signals equally reasonably, and everyone was filled with joy regardless of high or low?" He raised his hand and rubbed his chin.
There is no doubt that this action is the most common action performed by adults on the earth, and it is a natural reaction of the body when thinking.
I shook my head without thinking: "No."
"You can think about it carefully - I mean, use your superpower way of thinking, rather than simply extracting the knowledge base of your brain. Don't rush to answer me, in this space, time is meaningless, neither
As long as there is a past, there will be no future. We are standing here, completely free from the rotation and revolution of the earth, so there is no difference between your answer in a hundred years and your answer in the next second." He said.
The words are inscrutable, like the endless crystal wall in front of you.
The situation at this time naturally reminded me of the time when I was trapped in a glass box under the sea with Guan Baoling. The only difference was that we were at the bottom of the sea, but now we are in the heart of the mountain.
"I'm sure not. The physiological structure of people on earth has been like this from beginning to end. Even from the most ancient primitive people, all of them have oval eyes. There is also another evidence, that is, the eyes of all birds, animals, and insects on earth.
Eyes are just like humans, they are never square."
I thought for a few seconds and still gave the above answer.
Outside the purple spar wall opposite, a meandering water snake was rushing past, running deeper to the lower right. My eyes followed downwards, and the ground under my feet was also made of spar, vaguely revealing the
A little starlight.
"Where could this be? Under the cliff? Maybe in some space outside of time and space?" After having the strange experience of the glass box, I was not horrified by the scene in front of me, but slowly raised my head.
, looking at the top of my head. This space made of crystal stones has no roof. In a very distant place, I saw blue sky and white clouds.
"Aren't you afraid?" He laughed.
"What are you afraid of?" I became calm, because the other person looked like a standard earthling, regardless of body shape, appearance, speech and behavior.
"Afraid of me, afraid of this world, afraid of never returning to the surface of the earth?" He folded his arms and looked around at the spar walls. His chin was slightly raised, as if he was a noble king looking down at his own.
territory territory.
"If you find my friends, you can go back naturally; if you can't find them, what's the point of going back?" I'm not afraid, but that doesn't mean Su Lun isn't afraid either. She is a girl after all.
"At this moment, you are scared, because the energy core in your body has changed quantitatively, haha... So, you and Yang Tian are exactly the same kind of people, extremely powerful but unable to make up for their own loopholes, destined to make people...
A thousand-mile dike breaks in an ant nest. Although I don’t know the purpose of your existence, I can guess that you are not earthlings, at least not in the absolute sense."
He straightened his body proudly, as if he had unceremoniously exposed my disguise.
"'King of Tomb Robbers' Yang Tian, is he here too?" I kept calm because wherever I could see, there was only me and this "person" wearing a golden mask.
His shoulders suddenly sank, and he lowered his voice in frustration: "I don't know, alas..."
The luster of all the crystal walls dimmed, and the world outside the walls gradually became blurred.
"Who are you?" I felt the blade of the blade trembling, echoing with my heartbeat. If I needed to use force to solve something, I was ready, and the battle was already on the verge of breaking out.
"Earthling." Behind the mask, he blinked cautiously.
This is an answer that is beyond my expectation. At least in our hearts, Gu Qingcheng and I have long defined the "square-eyed warrior" as an alien visitor.
"Earthlings like us?" I asked.
He shook his head: "You got it wrong. What I mean is - I am an Earthling, but you and Yang Tian are not. As for the billions and billions of people out there who are living in confusion, they are also Earthlings."
Suddenly, a clear picture appeared on the wall on the left, like a high-definition digital TV screen. A girl in white fox fur leaned against a towering tree with her hands folded in her sleeves.
, is meditating with his eyes closed. The proportions of the picture are the same as those of the real world. At first glance, it seems as if it is a transparent glass window, with people and trees outside the window.
I am not a tiger, but two words suddenly echoed in my mind: "Tang, my heart——"
The grass was green, blocking her feet. It should be a vast wilderness. Except for her and the only big tree where three people hugged each other, there were no buildings.
"That's my friend, the Earthling." I hope to continue this riddle until the other person reveals his true colors.
"Yes, she is an earthling. No matter how serious the toxin invasion is, it cannot change her physiological essence. When she lives, she is an earthling. When she dies, she is an earthling. Her body dies, but her soul does not rest, and she will exist on the earth forever.
, but it will never turn into something else." His tone seemed to be a joke, but it lost the humor.
"Okay, I'm going to take her away." I remembered Tiger's warning, and when I saw Tang Xin, I wanted to take her back.
"You can do it at any time, but you have to get her own consent." He smiled mysteriously, "Look at the leaves on that tree, I think she won't leave until the leaves fall."
Thousands of leaves suddenly fell from the sky, like a heavy rain without warning. The leaves were all withered and yellow, and the veins and veins of the leaves were all black.
Tang Xin slowly opened her eyes, looked above her head for a few seconds, then changed her position, closed her eyes again and leaned against the tree trunk. I couldn't see the top of the tree, so I could only guess from the height of the trunk that the tree must be about 30 years old.
More than hundreds of years.
"She is using the vitality of trees to eliminate toxins from her body. In fact, this detoxification method was no longer a secret hundreds of years ago. If I take her back, I can still help her detoxify." I could tell that it was a toxin.
An extremely precious adult subdued dragon tree, a rare species on earth.
"Yes, she is detoxifying, but you don't understand that the power of the 'Hundred Deaths Art' varies with the degree of poisoning. The deeper the poisoning, the stronger the power. Once the poison is detoxified, she works hard and suffers
The martial arts she has cultivated will disappear. If you help her detoxify, I'm afraid she will hate you for the rest of her life..."
He waved his hand, and the image disappeared. The wall was still a wall, monotonous and cold.
"Here, after detoxification, her martial arts still exists. When time is no longer the only linear unit of measurement, she can try anything, and she can go back and forth between the starting point and the end point without having to bear the pain of the process.
Hardship is like a dream with a bizarre plot. Once you wake up, all the pain disappears."
From Tiger's words, I guessed that Tang Xin's ultimate purpose in stealing the "Blue Falling Yellow Spring Sutra" was to come to this mountain. The masters of the Tang Sect in Sichuan had different things in their minds from ordinary people.
There's no way to figure it out.
"Where is Su Lun? Where is that girl?" My heartstrings shook again. If Su Lun could appear on the wall like before, I would definitely be overjoyed.
"You care about her very much?" He stared at my expression closely, "It's just like Yang Tian is thinking about someone in his heart, right?"
I don't like the tone in which he mentioned his elder brother Yang Tian, as if a scientist mentioned aliens and space weirdos.
"You like to detect other people's inner activities? Well, I care about her very much, but Yang Tian, the 'King of Tomb Robbers', is my most respected senior. It's best not to make random guesses about his psychological world." I'm eager to see her here.
Brother, but subconsciously I understand that that is absolutely impossible.
"She is in a place that we cannot reach, very close, yet far away. That place, in many earth legends, is called the 'Asian Gear'. It is a space that exists in theory but no one knows about it in fact.
"He opened his arms as if he wanted to embrace the world in his arms.
"Asian Gear" is the lifelong goal pursued by Su Lun's master, Master Guannan Wulang, and it is also the reason why Su Lun can't wait to enter the mountains alone to search for the "Second Afang Palace".
I don't want to ask any more questions, because the other person doesn't have any standard answer in his mind.
The sudden silence created a huge gap between the two people who had just met, and the sense of strangeness suddenly stretched a lot.
"Let's go back. Maybe Tang Xin can tell you some useful news." He smiled awkwardly.
The spar floor under our feet is slowly rising, and the underwater world outside the wall has become clearer. Many kinds of common freshwater fish are swimming leisurely, which is enough to prove that we are ascending from the deep water area to the surface.
The square exit above our heads is getting closer and closer. When we rise to the ground, we are facing a huge and empty cave. A square hole of the same size is drilled on the top of the cave and extends upward. From there, we can see the real blue sky and white clouds.
.
We were standing in the middle of a thirty-meter-square pool with rippling blue waves, clear water, and small fish constantly spitting bubbles playfully.
"Welcome back to the real Earth. Although I don't understand where you come from, as long as you can stand on this blue planet, you are a friend of the people on Earth." He smiled and stretched out his hand to me.
I calmly held it back. The light here was much brighter than where I was just now, which allowed me to see him carefully.
