"If you have any questions, you can ask them now."
"May I ask, Your Majesty, where is this?"
"Just call me Mr. Zhunmang." The man in white said warmly, "This sea is called 'Great Valley', which is the end of the water in the world."
"The waters of the Eight Rivers and Nine Fields, the currents of the Heaven and the Han Dynasties, merge into the East China Sea and the South China Sea from west to east, and will eventually end up in this great ravine."
"Deep in the gully, this palace is called 'Guixu'."
Luo Yan silently wrote down his words and asked again:
"Master Zhun Mang brought us here, but why?"
"Of course I'm trying to save you." Mr. Zhun Mang blinked.
Luo Yan:………………
Damn, there's no way to argue with that.
"The depth of the ravine is endless." Zhun Mangjun continued, "If you continue to sink and miss the return to the ruins, you will fall into eternal sinking and be unable to extricate yourself."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhun Mang, for saving me." Luo Yan could only bow and thank him.
"You're welcome." Zhun Mangjun said gently, "I save you, but I also have some selfish motives."
Here comes the key point! Luo Yan and Shi Liuli immediately pricked up their ears to see what price this dragon would offer.
"If the Great Valley is the end of all space, then Guixu is the observation station closest to the Great Valley." Zhun Mangjun said with a smile, "I don't know who built it, but it must be older than the most ancient history of our Dragon Clan.
Sooner."
"In Guixu, there are many historical records left by the predecessors of the Dragon Clan. Judging from the current research results, the Great Valley itself is actually a formation."
"Array?" Luo Yan was shocked.
"Yes, the formation." Zhun Mangjun said leisurely, "What do you think the formation is?"
Shi Liuli remained silent and carefully hid behind Luo Yan.
Luo Yan pondered for a moment and replied:
"Array is a special orderly distribution state of matter and energy."
"Huh?" A strange look flashed in Zhun Mangjun's eyes, "Have you studied the battle method?"
"I dare not say research, I have studied before." Luo Yan said modestly.
"That's great!" Lord Zhunmang clapped his hands and laughed, "After such a long time, we finally have another monk who understands formations! Human being, what's your name?"
Just as Shi Liuli was about to speak, Luo Yan had already replied:
"Hui Zhun Mangjun, my name is Luo Yan."
"Luo Yan...Okay, Luo Yan." Zhun Mangjun nodded and wrote down the name, "Luo Yan, you said that the formation is a special orderly distribution of matter and energy, then let me ask you: The world we live in
Is this world an orderly distribution of matter and energy?"
Luo Yan opened his mouth slightly, feeling that some kind of enlightenment was arising from the bottom of his heart.
"Why does the sun rise in the east and set in the west? Why do all things fall to the ground? Why does water turn into clouds when heated?" Zhun Mangjun spread his hands and said loudly like a chant, "Our world is a system of rules woven one by one.
It operates under.”
"This world is a huge formation. In other words, the 'formation' we understand is originally learning to understand the essential mechanism of this world."
"The Great Valley is one of the most important formations in this world."
Luo Yan listened patiently to what he said and then asked:
"With all due respect, what does this have to do with 'prison'?"
"Because it is located deep in the ravine, the flow of time in Guixu is very special." Zhun Mangjun smiled, "Time passes very slowly here."
"Here, for every year that passes by your perception, your body actually only grows for three days, and the time in the outside world only passes for three days."
Time passes at different rates? Luo Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then slowly realized: "Isn't that..."
"That's right." Zhun Mangjun said calmly, "After discovering this characteristic of Guixu, the Dragon Clan used this place as a prison for their exiled prisoners."
"A prison of time, where prisoners have almost eternal life. But what is more tormenting than eternal life is the near-eternal boredom and the uncontrollable desire to escape from this prison."
He stood up and motioned for the two of them to follow him.
The three of them passed through the main hall and came to the side hall.
The side hall was filled with bookshelves as far as the eye could see, dividing the hall into pieces like the walls of a maze.
The bookshelf is filled with densely packed paper and thread-bound books, but more books are stacked directly on the ground, like raised hills.
Many monks were standing in front of bookshelves or stacks of books. Some were immersed in reading blankly, while others were writing furiously at their desks with fanatical expressions.
Among them were human monks and dragon demons; some were dressed in simple clothes that had never been seen before, and some were wearing robes from the ancient Interpretation and Interception religions.
The only thing they have in common is that their expressions are particularly devilish.
"They are all monks who unfortunately fell into the ravine before you and were rescued by me in Guixu." Lord Zhun Mang explained lightly, "There is an extremely powerful sealing power in the ravine. The monks cannot
If you mobilize your true energy, you can only sink slowly in the deep sea."
"But only in this ruins, monks will not be subject to similar restrictions."
"That is to say, you have to study the mechanism of this Guixu." Luo Yan suddenly realized it and concluded, "Find a way to resist the ban of the great ravine, so that you can escape from here!"
"That's right." Zhun Mangjun nodded, "This Guixu is composed of a large formation."
"Before this place was used as a prison for exile, many seniors of the Dragon Clan accidentally entered here and could not escape from the ravine, so they could only study the formation in this place in the hope of finding a way to escape."
"Then, with the rise of you humans, human monks began to come here one after another."
"What you see now, all the books in this entire hall - there are probably more than 100,000 volumes now, they are all the result of their research."
Luo Yan:………………
Shi Liuli:………………
"Eternal life, what a boring word." Zhun Mangjun sighed with emotion, "All the monks who came here, at first some indulged themselves in enjoyment, some practiced hard, and some had nothing to do... But in the end, they were all concentrated here.
Let’s study the Guixu Formation.”
"After all, once you have unlimited time, you will find that those hobbies that make you obsessed with it are nothing at all under the ruthless erosion of time - one day you will get tired of it."
Luo Yan felt worried, but he didn't think so in his heart:
Without mobile phones and the Internet, it would naturally be like this. With both, can I survive until the world is destroyed?
Of course, this was an unrealistic delusion after all, so Luo Yan gently patted the trembling Miss Shi next to him and asked:
"So, when can we start studying the Guixu Formation?"
"You can do it at any time." Zhun Mangjun said with a smile, "But I suggest you stay here for a few days to get used to it and adjust your mood and state."
"Anyway, the most indispensable thing here is time."
