Chapter 232 Retreat
Li Chuan remembered Chang Xiao and Jin Rong's description of the orange sky, and couldn't help but open his eyes wide and stare at the changes in the sky. Above the boundless sky, orange gradually filled the sky, and bright and soft light kept flowing.
In the flow of light, a giant beast spread its wings and soared in it, its fierce eyes looking at Li Chuan and the others through hundreds of millions of years.
Although Li Chuan knew that it was just an afterimage left in time, he still subconsciously took a step back.
When he raised his head again, the ancient mysterious monster disappeared, and a cruel battle scene unfolded on the sky. He saw the earth split into an endless abyss, hot magma spewed out, and strange In the sea of fire, monks fell one after another.
The sea of fire was extinguished, and the orange sky gradually faded its brilliance and turned into a dead darkness, covering everything like a thick black cloth.
The light of the Tianzhu shines lonely, streaking across the vast forbidden area of Wochi, like ripples caused by stones thrown on the water.
The spots of light flicker in the darkness, like stars.
It took a long time for Wen Guying to come back to his senses, and he said: "I see, that's how it is."
"What's wrong?" Li Chuan asked.
Jiang Mei explained: "The picture that appeared on the sky just now is the scene where the ancient monster beast collided with the Tianzhu, causing the spiritual veins to break and the sweet spring to be polluted."
"Have you seen it before?" To review the past, you should ask Chang Xiao.
Chang Xiao recalled it and said, "No."
"How often does such a wonder appear?" Li Chuan asked.
Chang Xiao looked at the sky and replied: "It's hard to say. Sometimes I can see it every day, and sometimes it doesn't appear for a long, long time. I also try to get closer to the sky and enter the picture, but as long as I Once you have this idea, you won’t be able to get out.”
"I, I think Tianzhu is also conscious. It has always been with me. No matter where I go, I can see it as long as I look back." Chang Xiao said with some relief in his tone: "Mr. Jiang said that I It is the life that Tianzhu gave birth to, so... so it has been protecting me."
"If you want to know the truth, then continue to explore," Jiang Mei said to Chang Xiao. What happened years ago can still be reproduced in Wochi, and clues to what happened to you will definitely be found here."
"Well," Chang Xiao made a decision and said: "I will."
After a day's journey, even Wen Guying and Jiang Mei felt a little tired, so they camped to rest.
Li Chuan still stayed in the formation. At this time, he had completely adapted to the light that penetrated the formation, and felt that he could let Jiang Mei let in some more light tomorrow.
He lay down fully clothed. The runes of the formation looked a little blurry in the rich light. From the angle where he lay, he could still see the silhouette of one or two characters on the Tianzhu.
After closing his eyes, he felt heavy sleepiness coming over him.
This night, he did not dream.
When he woke up, Gong Er walked up to him holding a piece of white stuff and said, "Brother, this has fallen from the sky. Senior Brother Wen said this is fairy rock white jade. Eating it can improve spiritual understanding." !”
Li Chuan reached out and took it, took a bite, and felt that he was biting on a ball of cotton wool, and then the cotton wool melted in his mouth and flowed into his stomach. It's not unpleasant and tasteless.
"Brother, how's it going? Do you want more? I've lost a lot!" Gonger said.
“Bring some more.” Li Chuan said. Soon, Mr. Er brought several more pieces to him. Li Chuan took them and suddenly felt as if he was in jail, asking for food and drinks.
Shortly after eating, Jiang Mei came over to adjust the formation for him, and then he continued to dismantle it word by word. Perhaps it was because he had gotten enough sleep and had adapted to the light of the Tianzhu, or perhaps because he had taken the Immortal Rock White Jade, that his speed was much faster than yesterday. As the pattern was completed bit by bit, he had the illusion that his consciousness was slowly rising along the Tianzhu.
What does it feel like to look down from the highest point of the Tianzhu?
As the days passed, Li Chuan spent all his time staring at the Tianzhu except when he was sleeping. Even in his dreams, there were strange words twisting around. Only when the orange sky appeared occasionally did he stop, take a breath, and admire the appearance of the monsters and monks from tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Finally, he finished breaking down the last word, but the pattern was still incomplete.
What is missing?
Li Chuan took out the "Classic of Patterns" and turned to the middle page. The light from the Tianzhu fell on the page. Li Chuan felt that the pattern on that page seemed to stand up from the page, but in a daze, the pattern lay down bit by bit.
He put away the "Pattern Sutra" and planned to take a walk around. At this time, he had completely adapted to the light from the Tianzhu, and Jiang Mei's formation had been removed two days ago.
He walked slowly around the Tianzhu. After completing the circle, Gong Er and Pang San followed behind him.
"Brother, have you learned the new pictures?" Gong Er asked.
“It’s not even close.” Li Chuan walked, feeling that the depression in his heart gradually dissipated, “This pattern is partly an illusion and partly a reality. I can only realize these two points at the moment. Illusion. I can’t figure out how to connect it to reality.”
He thought about the pattern of lying down slowly, and said, “It’s probably close.”
“What’s missing. What?" Gong Er asked.
"Maybe, we need to think about it again. If we still can't figure it out in a few days, then we have no choice but to leave here..." At this time, Li Chuan saw Wen Guying, Jiangmei, and Changxiao, and he immediately turned towards them. Go. After getting closer, he heard Wen Guying ask Chang Xiao: "Is this here?"
Chang Xiao replied: "Yes, I feel the river is surging underground. In a few days, there will be a river here. There are many silver fish in the river, which taste very delicious."
Seeing Li Chuan coming, Wen Guying said to him: "Master Chang said that there will be a river here. Brother Jiang and I doubt this river. It is the sweet spring water hidden in the netherworld."
Then he asked Li Chuan, "What do you think about it after the retreat?"
Li Chuan said: "I guess I have cracked it." It’s done, but there are still some key points that I can’t figure out.” Then he asked Wen Guying and Jiang Mei for advice. Although he still didn’t find the answer, he also had some more ideas.
When he was about to go back and try again, suddenly the surrounding sky suddenly turned orange again, this time the orange was more reddish, flowing under the light of the sky pillar.
Li Chuan saw that their faces were also covered with a layer of orange.
Chang Xiao said: "It's just these few days. The sky will be orange in these few days, and it will not dissipate until the small river appears."
Li Chuan felt a strange feeling at this time A change, a change he was very familiar with, surged.
