Chapter 278 3A masterpiece: Demon Star in Troubled Times! (asking for monthly ticket)
A vague feeling came.
Qingyuan didn't know how to describe it.
It was as if you were supposed to enter a place but were told there was construction going on and were stopped.
His hazy and fuzzy consciousness felt blocked at this moment.
Until a moment later.
That resistance just disappeared.
A clear voice rang in my ears: linkstart!
Then before he could think about what this meant, he suddenly passed through a certain barrier and came to a world where his senses suddenly became clear.
Thick clouds turned the sky into darkness.
The brilliance of the sun was completely swallowed up and was nowhere to be found.
The originally quiet valley now broke the silence of the past.
The air seemed to be filled with unusual restlessness and noise, and everything seemed to be in an unprecedented panic, indicating that an unknown and huge disaster was quietly approaching.
"Where...is this?"
Qingyuan's consciousness became sober, and he couldn't help but wonder.
His memory of the last second was still lying down to sleep in his dormitory in the university town.
The next second, it seemed like we were here.
The process in the middle is like a piece being broken.
He didn't understand what was happening now.
He was standing on the cliff of a valley at the moment.
Qingyuan looked around.
The sight before him shocked him.
The valley is deep, and the cliffs on both sides are towering into the clouds. They are like magnificent sculptures of nature, and every inch of rock reveals the traces of time.
The valley floor is winding and a fast river flows through it. The water washed over the stones on the shore, making a deafening roar, which was in sharp contrast to the tranquility of the valley.
The sky was covered by a thick layer of lead-gray clouds, with no light able to penetrate, leaving the entire valley shrouded in gloom.
There is a depressing atmosphere in the air, and occasionally a few crows fly by, their shrill cries echoing in the valley, adding a bit of weirdness and uneasiness.
In the distance, there are mountains.
The peaks are as sharp as swords, reaching straight into the sky.
Among the mountains, you can occasionally see some strange buildings.
They have very different styles, ranging from simple stone castles to futuristic metal structures. These buildings seem to come from different time and space, but they are wonderfully integrated here.
Qingyuan noticed.
The ground under your feet is not ordinary. It is made of a seemingly transparent but extremely solid material, with complex runes and patterns engraved on it.
These runes emit a faint light, as if they possess some mysterious power.
He tried to take a step forward. The platform under his feet shook slightly, then stabilized. It was obvious that the technology or magic here was far beyond what he knew.
All of this.
Qingyuan was a little confused.
Where did this come from?
Is this still domestic?
The mountains here are so steep and steep that they are simply exaggerated.
The buildings with different styles in the distance don't look like what they should be in reality.
The strange patterns and patterns on the ground under your feet even revealed a mysterious atmosphere.
Thinking of myself lying down to sleep in the dormitory before.
Qingyuan thought this might be a dream.
But……
The various feelings he had now didn't feel like he was dreaming.
Everything in his eyes was so detailed and complicated, not as hazy as a dream.
All of his perceptions have not been compromised. Not only are his vision, hearing, and smell normal, but he can also clearly feel pain.
His thinking is also extremely clear, not as wild and unreasonable as in the dream.
In addition, the depressing atmosphere surrounding the city with dark clouds is completely unlike what you can feel in a dream.
therefore.
Qingyuan felt that this was not a dream.
And if this moment is not a dream...
All of this seemed to remind him: This seemed to be no longer the real world, or at least this was no longer the real world he was familiar with.
perhaps……
Has he traveled through time?
Came to this place right after falling asleep?
Qingyuan felt confused and helpless for a moment.
Neither the Taoist education nor the socialist modernization education he received since childhood taught him what to do in this situation?
He just said in the morning, the second grader said happily: Where is the Dharma?
Shall we let him see the result now?
Thinking like this, Qingyuan couldn't help but laugh at himself.
If it was just to let him see it, there was really no need to make such a big fuss.
You can just play a palm thunder and let him see it.
Suddenly he was transported through time, which overloaded his brain for a moment.
There was a long silence.
Qingyuan looked at the complex mountains around him and couldn't help but start thinking about what he should do next.
Looking at the various buildings in the distance.
He thought maybe he could go there and have a look?
There are buildings, which means there are intelligent creatures.
Although he is new to a different world, I wonder what the intelligent creatures in this world will think of him? Will he be killed as soon as he comes up?
But having wisdom at least means that communication is possible.
If he encounters those wild animals in the wild.
I can't even explain what is true, I can only wait for death.
But according to him.
The surrounding complex mountain environment must be indispensable for wild animals.
The longer you stay outside, the more dangerous you become.
Thinking about it, he was just about to leave.
suddenly!
An auburn celestial body the size of the sun and moon appeared in the sky.
It trembled.
Only then did Qingyuan notice its existence.
As soon as I looked at it carefully, I immediately felt a strong sense of oppression.
It made him feel like he was an ant on the ground, and the auburn celestial body in the sky was a giant!
The huge difference in life levels made him unable to move an inch.
His whole body was instantly soaked in cold sweat.
That is definitely not a celestial body.
Those are the eyes of a "predator" that towers over all known existence!
An idea came to Qingyuan's mind.
He wasn't sure what it was.
But such a firm idea suddenly appeared in my mind.
Then the wind picked up.
Blow away the gray mist between heaven and earth.
Qingyuan, who had been struggling hard, found that his body seemed to be able to move again.
So Qingyuan hurriedly leaned towards the boulder next to him.
The whole person leaned on it and lay down, and then he could stand firmly.
Looking up at the obscured sky again, he finally saw the truth about the predator.
That's a huge one! A bird whose body is bigger than the sky and the earth!
When the wings are spread out, they seem to be able to cover the sun and the moon, making the heaven and earth change color.
Its feathers shine like gold, reflecting thousands of dazzling brilliance in the sunlight, as dazzling as the flowing golden ocean.
Its eyes are like two deep stars that see through everything in the world, as if they contain endless wisdom and power.
And its extremely sharp claws make people feel like the most terrifying weapon in nature. It seems that it should be able to easily tear apart the barriers of space and grab any matter that exists in the universe.
It is estimated that even the hardest rock and the strongest metal are fragile under these claws.
It just stayed there and flapped its wings, setting off strong winds and huge waves, and the continuous clouds were stirred by its powerful airflow to form a spectacular storm.
Every breath it takes seems to bring thunder and lightning.
It makes the earth tremble and all things stand in awe.
Qingyuan stared blankly, feeling that his entire brain was blank at this moment.
I just thought about not encountering wild animals in the wild.
As a result, I met such a big guy.
He felt that even if the entire modern army came over, they would only be delivering food to the guy in front of him.
How to fight?
It’s impossible to fight!
Qingyuan made this judgment decisively.
While thinking about Qingyuan.
I saw the Peng bird beginning to descend.
Well, it should be declining.
Although as it descends, its body shape also shrinks. Logically speaking, it would seem that the bird is increasing its own height.
But the feeling in Qingyuan's heart told him very clearly: "It's just falling." But Qingyuan no longer had the energy to think about this scene that almost violated the principle of perspective.
Because he saw the roc after it fell to the ground.
The figure gradually blurred.
Biological evolution spans tens of thousands of years in an instant.
When it landed, it transformed into a human form.
This is a human figure wearing ancient costumes.
The person's appearance was unclear.
It's like looking at flowers in the fog, there is always a layer between them.
Qingyuan tried hard to concentrate.
Try to keep your eyes wide open.
But I just found nothing. The more I wanted to see it, the more I couldn't see it clearly.
This is more advanced than any mosaic.
Obviously, subconsciously, he told himself that the face should be left there without any obstruction.
But he could never touch the true appearance of that face. It seemed that the light that conveyed vision had to travel an infinite distance between his eyes and that face, and it could never convey the information of the true appearance back.
But even if you don’t see the face.
That temperament is also unforgettable and aloof.
Qingyuan stared at this man.
It seemed that he wanted to imprint his temperament and everything deep in his memory.
At this time.
The man suddenly turned his head.
He looked towards where Qingyuan was.
Although I can't see my face.
But Qingyuan was sure that the man had definitely turned his attention.
Because that creepy feeling of oppression that suddenly calms down is real.
"He saw me!"
Almost at the same moment.
Such words came to Qingyuan's mind.
Then, he felt a strong sting and dizziness.
It was as if he couldn't bear such a look.
This made him unbearable and he covered his head and wanted to cry out in pain.
only.
Suddenly a cool feeling flowed into my mind.
All pain disappears at this moment.
He looked up again.
The person's existence was no longer visible in front of him.
In the valley, everything seemed to have been pressed on pause.
It was so quiet that you could only hear the gentle breeze blowing through the treetops.
Compared to before.
The scenery did not seem to have changed significantly. It was still the lush forest, the winding creek, and the faint outline of the mountains in the distance.
However, when one looks closely, there is a subtle difference in the air.
It was a kind of tranquility after experiencing drastic changes, like the morning after a storm, with the breath of rebirth.
The only obvious change is that the dark clouds that once shrouded the valley have quietly dissipated, as if driven away by some invisible force.
The sky becomes blue and clear, and the sun regains its sovereignty. It penetrates the clouds gently and shines on this silent land.
The light dances on the leaves, the stream sparkles in the light and shadow, everything looks so vivid and energetic.
Look at everything in front of you.
Just as Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, he was startled again by the sudden sound in his ears.
[Welcome to the dream game - Demon Star in Troubled Times, I am your guide, number A-13. What you see is only a corner of this world, and there are more unknowns waiting for you to explore. 】
Looking at all this.
Qingyuan, who suffered severe mental ups and downs, finally couldn't bear it anymore and lost consciousness.
…
Early morning on May 10th.
The bed in the dormitory.
Qingyuan sat up suddenly, breathing heavily.
Cold sweat soaked almost all of his clothes.
There was a faint sound of pattering rain outside the bedroom.
He held on to the edge of the bed, as if he had not yet recovered from the spinning that day, as if he had not yet recovered from the sudden sound.
After a long time, he grabbed the water bottle in his backpack and took a sip.
Trying to suppress the heart that was about to pop out of the chest.
He gently stroked the sword hanging on the wall for a while.
He sat cross-legged on the bed again.
The five hearts face the sky, leading the heart fire to descend, supporting kidney yang and warming the kidney water, and guiding the kidney water to rise to help the heart yin and moisten the heart fire. The heart and kidneys intersect, and the yang can enter the yin, so that you can fall asleep.
But obviously Qingyuan still couldn't calm down, and kept chanting in his mind, "The heart is like still water, the heart is like still water..." "To the extreme of emptiness, stay still and sincere..." "The origin of the Dharma cannot be caused by the mind, and the heart has no intention, so the Dharma is empty..." flow.
After repeating it for a long time, his heart gradually calmed down and he was able to rest.
Only now could he calm down and think.
Suddenly there was only the quiet sound of rain all around.
Apparently.
Everything just seemed to be a dream.
But Qingyuan discovered that the strange dream did not fade away like a normal dream.
Even if an ordinary dream leaves some impression, it is only a scratch.
But every detail of the dream just now was imprinted in his mind, especially the huge roc and the man it transformed into.
"This is not normal."
Although Qing Qing has been practicing Taoism in the mountains since she was adopted by her master since she was a child, she has not experienced much of the human world.
But he also received a modern education, and after all, modern network communications are developed and the circulation of knowledge is extremely convenient. He still knows some common sense, for example, normally people cannot remember their dreams.
perhaps……
As the voice suddenly appeared at the end of the dream said.
Everything just now.
Is it a dream game?
If it were a game, this game called Monster Star in Troubled Times must be a AAA masterpiece!
If it's a game, maybe the roc is part of the opening animation?
If it is a game, can I try to enter it again?
Thinking.
His eyes accidentally glanced at the open backpack.
This is the backpack I opened just now because I was too nervous to find a water bottle when I woke up from the dream.
Looking at the open backpack.
Qingyuan saw a familiar bamboo flying sword inside at a glance.
The bamboo flying sword is engraved with a scene depicting the symbiosis of mountains, rivers and wild animals.
There are naive giant pandas playing in the bamboo forest, nimble deer drinking water by the stream, eagles soaring in the sky, and winding mountains and rivers.
Because bamboo is not big.
The carving is relatively freehand and cannot be completely detailed, but it can still be seen at a glance what is carved on it.
How did this bamboo flying sword end up in his backpack?
Qingyuan couldn't help but started to think with some doubts.
This moment.
The dusty memories of Qingyuan flow.
The carving technique of this bamboo flying sword is very high.
So Qingyuan actually had a very deep impression on it.
The memory immediately came to the exact place.
I met that in the food court yesterday.
Something from the stall of a fortune teller named Chen Banxian.
Thinking.
When Qingyuan recalled this man's appearance, his pupils trembled.
It's him! ! !
At this moment, Qingyuan's memory of the man who transformed into a penguin in the dream suddenly changed from blurry to clear.
and.
Exactly the same as Chen Banxian.
When things in dreams appear in reality, problems obviously arise.
At this moment, Qingyuan only felt that Chen Banxian's aura of showing off and cheating on the street in his memory suddenly changed. He was immediately different from nature, and even vaguely had the power to overwhelm the world.
It vaguely coincides with the roc that covers the sky!
"The demon star in troubled times!"
Somehow.
The term mentioned by the voice in the dream suddenly appeared in Qingyuan's mind.
