Chapter 20 Section VIII

A strong mutation wave was born at the moment when the ancient road reappeared!It shook the entire river of time, and its amplitude was so huge that it ejected the artifact in operation, and lost it in the era of more than five hundred years ago! This is nothing at all, the artifact is lost and can be rebuilt.The equipment in the temple is already perfect, and it won't take long to build another one.Young people have risen day by day and can give it a lot of help in terms of resources. However, it never expected that there would be such a coincidence in the world: the artifact that was lost more than 500 years ago was handed down to young people after being passed down!

Relying on his own wisdom, the young man carefully explored, from dead objects to live horses, experimented step by step, gradually mastered the use of this artifact, and took the first step to explore the truth. Then, through a messenger, the young man proposed to see his mysterious master.His reasoning was very sufficient, Long Xi agreed. In the temple on the island, Long Xi unsuspectingly displayed its dazzling and strange instruments in front of young people.Thinking that people in this ignorant world are not yet wise enough to understand the meaning of it will only increase their awe and fear of it.

Long Xi was wrong, it underestimated young people. The young man pretended to be surprised and admiring, but he firmly remembered everything he remembered in his heart.He began to ask Long Xi some questions related to the project, and Long Xi was very happy to answer him.It has not met a good talker for too long. The young man has a strong ability to understand every word it says, and has a strong curiosity, and keeps asking for the bottom line.After talking about it, Long Xi even explained the real reason of the project: Starship fell into the sea, time and space are controllable, sea and land change... It doesn't expect this young man to understand, it just stays in this barbaric world for too long Now, it feels a deep loneliness.It is rare to have such a good audience, who neither regard it as a god nor a monster, and are willing to listen to it calmly.

Long Xi said it happily.However, when it found that the young man could really understand all this, it became alert again. It feels dangerous! The young may discover that fatal flaw in its plan, and therefore refuse to cooperate.Therefore, it concealed its history as "Fuxi" from young people. But it's too late.The ubiquitous strange emblems in the temple, and Long Xi's strange attire and gait have aroused the suspicion of young people. After returning, the young man consulted a large number of historical materials and books, and with the help of an extremely intelligent girl, he finally discovered the true identity of the mysterious master.

The young people felt strange at first, not knowing what to hide such a glorious history.But soon, he suddenly realized, followed by extreme shock and anxiety. It was a conspiracy, a most terrible conspiracy. He must stop this conspiracy! Young people know that this is a dangerous task, almost impossible to succeed.And failure means cruel revenge.He was not concerned with what happened to the individual if he failed, and any personal misfortune was insignificant compared with the terrible consequences of the successful plot. The most important thing now is that he can only succeed, not fail!He is an outstanding person in this era, a genius who is rarely seen in thousands of years. If he can't stop Long Xi's conspiracy with all his wisdom, then who else can stop it in the future?

He must succeed!He must succeed! He thought hard and used all his war wisdom to formulate an extremely careful plan.He will use the most powerful force of nature never before used on the battlefield - the fire of the earth. At first, the plan went smoothly.The messenger Peng Zu was fooled and went to persuade the master for him, and brought three powerful sharp weapons.Then, at the shore of the Bohai Sea and at the foot of Zhifu Mountain, he shot all three sharp weapons at the island where Long Xi was.Just as he expected.The power of the sharp weapon inspired the long-sleeping volcano. The eruption engulfed the temple on the island and triggered a rare tsunami...

But when everything calmed down, he got bad news: Long Xi is not dead yet! He didn't know why, maybe the vitality of that kind of creature far exceeded that of human beings. Anyway, he tried his best, and not without success.He destroyed the temples and artifacts that Long Xi had spent at least 3,000 years building, and rebuilding all of them would take the same amount of time. He delayed the implementation of the conspiracy, and bought mankind a period of respite.Given this time, humanity might develop enough intelligence to figure out how to deal with him. He is satisfied. He knows he will soon have to pay the price for this, but he will face it calmly and never regret it.

The story is over. The bright moon rises in the east, and the clear brilliance of the moon falls on the slowly flowing Sishui River, shining bursts of silver light. Ji Jiang remained silent for a long time. King Chu said: "Do you understand?" Ji Jiang nodded: "Understood. But..." She turned her head slowly and said, "Is this true?" King Chu said: "It's true." Ji Jiang said: "Can you prove it to me?" King Chu said: "Yes." Looking up at the sky, he said, "The moonlight is pretty, but it's April now, so it's best not to go too far."

Ji Jiang was startled. The King of Chu reached into his arms and carefully took out something. It was a piece of pure white, fist-sized round jade. "Ji Jiang," King Chu said, "remember that pheasant in the palace that can never be found? It's not that the pheasant is crowing, it's that the time and space are distorting. And those meteors passing over the palace must also make people laugh." Are you confused? That is not a meteor flying, but a jade pheasant absorbing the energy of the moon. This is the pheasant god enshrined in Chencang Temple, I call it the jade pheasant. It is the lost artifact. Originally, he It is small, with such an ordinary appearance, and it is lost in the uninhabited barren mountains, so the possibility of being found is very small, so Long Xi didn't pay much attention to its whereabouts. It didn't expect that there would be a curious king who would not hesitate to send An army of thousands of people came to look for it. The king was Qin Wengong. After searching all over the mountains and plains, the jade pheasant was finally found and enshrined to this day. I checked the historical materials, and the era of Qin Wengong was the era when the ancient road of Chen Cang was unblocked." The jade pheasant began to glow from the inside out, as if a little elf in its depths lit a lamp.

雊!雊!雊!The crowing of the pheasant rose from low to high, enveloping the two of them. A slender ray of light like a meteor flew straight into the jade pheasant.Another... The jade pheasant is getting brighter and brighter. Ji Jiang looked at it with some fear, and took two steps back. The king of Chu said: "Don't be afraid, come closer to me. We are about to set off." Then, the king of Chu gently unscrewed the jade pheasant, and the round jade pheasant with no visible cracks was split in two. On the inner side of each half, there is a strangely shaped protrusion, surrounded by circles of fine scales, and marked with many strange symbols.

The king of Chu said: "Look, this is time, this is space." The king of Chu carefully adjusted the oddly shaped protrusion, and then closed the jade pheasant. A strong but not dazzling white light shot out from the jade pheasant immediately, the light strangely did not shine into the distance, but contained the two of them gently and generously in this light. Ji Jiang didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or fear, but he felt dizzy and nauseated. King Chu put his arms around her shoulders and said, "If you feel dizzy and nauseous, don't be afraid, it's a normal phenomenon." Ji Jiang found that the white light was getting thicker and thicker like a mist, completely blocking her vision. The outside world had disappeared, and even the King of Chu who was close by her side had become hazy and difficult to distinguish.But she could still clearly feel the King of Chu holding her shoulders, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." The misty white light is still getting thicker, gradually becoming as thick as milk.It was terrifying to sink into this white ocean.That white color filled all the gaps outside of her body, and stuck tightly to her eyes, ears, mouth and nose, as if she could swallow it with opening her mouth, or rub it with her hand, but it was still just invisible and qualityless light. Suddenly, a loud scream came from her ear, the scream was deafening, and it overwhelmed the voice of King Chu comforting her. In the incomparable panic, the only thing that comforted her was the warm hand of the king of Chu who always hugged her shoulder... Suddenly, her eyes lit up.The horrible white light and screeching sound disappeared. When the sun is shining, there is no space in thousands of miles.She found them standing in a beautiful garden with a rockery at their feet.In front of the rockery is a clear pond.Across the pond, a girl was in a daze, her eyes unconsciously looking at the water.Suddenly the girl's body shook, and she slowly raised her head to look this way. The girl is dark skinned, thin and small, but has a pair of bright big eyes.There was a look of extreme horror in these eyes. King Chu said: "Do you understand?" Ji Jiang nodded and said, "I understand." The girl across the pond groaned and passed out. Back to the edge of the deep night of Surabaya, the clear light of the moon sprinkled on the slowly flowing Sishui River, shining bursts of silver light. King Chu said: "Do you have any questions?" Ji Jiang said: "Yes." The king of Chu said, "Say it." Ji Jiang said: "Longxi is the jade pheasant lost in this era, but the jade pheasant was enshrined in Qin State more than 500 years ago. Then more than 500 years ago before Longxi lost In the world, don’t there exist two jade pheasants: one in Longxi’s place, and the other in Qin’s temple? But there is obviously only one jade pheasant!” The King of Chu said: "There is only one. The one in Qin State is the one in Longxi. That's right, I said that when time deforms, many incredible things will happen. Remember those two identical 'Chasing the Wind'?" ?Actually, those are not two 'chasing the wind', but one. And just now, didn't you see your past self? This seems incomprehensible, but it's just because we live in a one-way uniform time for a long time In the current, I can’t jump out to see its panorama. How about this, imagine a long ribbon, when I bend it to form a circle, how many are it?” Ji Jiang said: "Of course it is one." King Chu said: "Very good. Then when I put my hands into the sides of the ring and stretch the ring straight?" Ji Jiang said: "It's still one." The king of Chu said: "Yes, it is indeed one. But suppose there is a tiny living thing on this stretched ribbon loop, such as an ant, it is so small that the sight cannot reach the two stretched ends of my hand, Then in its eyes, how many ribbons will it see?" Ji Jiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Two." King Chu said: "Yes, it will see two identical parallel ribbons, one is where it is walking and the other is opposite it. This situation is similar to the various visions caused by the deformation of time. .” Ji Jiang thought about it, but didn't speak. The king of Chu didn't ask any questions, but waited quietly.He knew how hard it was to make sense of it all. After a long time, Ji Jiang said: "I think I have understood. But I have a second question." King Chu said: "You ask." Ji Jiang said: "The ancient road that Long Xi opened for you with the jade pheasant is the Chencang Road, right?" King Chu said: "Yes." Ji Jiang said: "Why didn't it choose the plank road? As far as I know, the plank road had only been burned for a few months at that time, and the Chencang Road had been abandoned for more than 500 years. It should be more difficult to restore the sky than the plank road. Why is it difficult to give up easy?" The king of Chu sighed: "It's just because it was lucky at that time." Ji Jiang said: "Is it a fluke?" King Chu said: "It hopes to choose a deserted road to reduce the 'variation fluctuation'. Since ancient times, merchants and travelers have been frequenting the Baoxie plank road, and it is difficult to find a gap for a month. If those passers-by are accidentally involved in this 'distortion of time and space' ’, will undoubtedly intensify the turmoil in future history and make it more difficult to control. It’s just that it didn’t expect that the generation of this mutation wave has nothing to do with the road itself, and it’s entirely caused by me.” Ji Jiang nodded and said: "I understand." After a pause, he added: "I have one last question, which is also the most important one." The king of Chu had a look of expectation in his eyes. Ji Jiang said: "Why do you want to eliminate Longxi?" King Chu said: "What do you say?" Ji Jiang hesitated and said: "Is it because the project is so huge that it wastes people and money? Is it because it is too powerful and threatens our survival? But no matter what, it has done us a great favor after all. Without it, we would not be where we are today. " King Chu nodded, and said meaningfully: "Yes, without it, we would not be where we are today." He spoke slowly, as if he wanted Ji Jiang to understand every word of this sentence carefully. Ji Jiang was a little dazed, and slowly, she seemed to think of something...Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed like lightning in the depths of her mind, but it dissipated before she could catch it, leaving only a burst of panic feel. The King of Chu stared at her face: "What did you think of?" What did I think of?She desperately asked herself, desperately trying to find the source of that terrible thought, bit by bit, slowly, slowly...Suddenly, like a ferocious monster burrowing out of the ground, that thought was suddenly very clear appeared in her mind. She was stunned by the terrible plot.
