Soling Internet Cafe

"Grandma Huai?" Chu Lingya looked at the old man with white beard and hair, and involuntarily looked at the old locust tree.

Everything has a spirit, Chu Lingya knows that the old locust tree in Sao Ling is not a vulgar thing, but when he looks at the old locust tree with his eyes, he can't see where the "spirit" is, and now he knows, maybe in the courtyard That plant is just a branch or surface layer, the real body is here, and it is normal for him not to see it.

The old man was using the stove to simmer the soup, and the snow-white soup exuded an alluring aroma. Even Chu Lingya couldn't help but smell it, and wanted to take a sip, but Chu Lingya was just a ghost now, Secondly, his own blood is something similar, he is too familiar with this feeling.It looks very good, great and very attractive, but there is a big hole underneath!

Thinking of this, Chu Lingya couldn't help but look at Xie Rujian, what does he want to fetch?

Granny Huai stretched out her green hand, scooped a spoonful of the soup, tasted it, seemed to feel that the taste was not right, turned around, grabbed a handful of something from a pocket next to it, and sprinkled it in, and then the soup began to change from white to white. As it turned dark, the scent also turned into a foul smell, Chu Lingya couldn't help frowning, but Xie Rujian's expression didn't change at all.Granny Huai observed the soup that had turned black like a swamp for a while, then closed the lid, turned down the fire, and then looked at Xie Rujian.

"Have you figured it out?" she asked.

"Think clearly."

"You are no longer the Xie Guanxuan of the past. Activating the Guanxuan Dial is a very dangerous thing for you now, and it is also a thing that may not be successful. If you are not careful, you may get lost in time." In the turbulent current, never to return."

What!Chu Lingya jumped up when he heard it: "Brother Rujian, don't do stupid things, let's think of other ways, okay? If it doesn't work, I can just lie down like this, really, how long can I lie down?" comfortable!"

It's a pity that Xie Rujian couldn't hear or see Chu Lingya at all, so even the 1 objections from the parties didn't affect his decision.

"I know."

"Based on the current situation of you and Guanxuan Diao, regardless of whether this use is successful or not, it is likely to be the last time."

Xie Rujian paused: "I insist."

Granny Huai looked at Xie Rujian in astonishment: "How many people have persuaded you over the years, but you have never changed your mind. It was so easy to get back to the current state. Seeing that success is in front of you, you plan to Use it for other purposes?"

"How to use the Guanxuan dial is my business, and it has nothing to do with you, Granny Huai."

Granny Huai nodded: "That's all right, the soup is ready." She opened the lid of the pot, but after a short while, the bubbling black and stinking soup turned into a transparent liquid again. The smell has also become a faint cold fragrance, like the cold wind with snow in winter, cool and clean.

"I really didn't expect that one day, you drank this bowl of soup for an irrelevant child."

"Chu Lingya is not someone who is irrelevant, he is an excellent employee I invited, and I must be responsible to him regardless of circumstances or reasons." Xie Rujian said, took the soup bowl, and drank it to the bottom.

Chu Lingya jumped in anxiety, but was helpless. At the same time, because of Xie Rujian's words, she felt extremely subtle and complicated feelings, both sour and sweet, both worried about Xie Rujian and really happy that he valued her.

After Xie Rujian finished his soup, he reached out to Granny Huai, who took out something and handed it over.

It was a small box. When it was opened, there was a suspected compass the size of an adult's palm. In addition to the longitude and latitude of the heavenly stems, earthly branches, five elements, eight trigrams, the most striking thing was that there was a floating island in the center of the plate. an eye in the liquid.This eye can rotate like the needle of a compass, and its shape is exactly the same as that of the building in Saoling Ghost Prison, but its texture is neither gold nor silver nor jade, it seems to be some kind of rare ore.This ore has a very unique luster and refractive index. When people stare at this eye, they don't know why there is a feeling of being stared at by the eyes of a living creature.

The line of sight is not transmitted face to face, it seems to come from a very high place across a distant time and space, it seems to come from the past, it also seems to come from the future, it seems to be high above, and it seems to be hidden deep in the dark.Chu Lingya just looked at it for a while and felt a little unbearable. The feeling was very subtle and hard to describe. If I had to generalize it, it would be "uncomfortable".After Xie Rujian took out the compass, he went to the bottom of the big locust tree, sat cross-legged, placed the compass in front of him, and then took out something.

Chu Lingya's eyes suddenly softened, and what Xie Rujian took out was the wooden comb he had given to Xie Rujian.

The comb that was broken has been repaired now. The handwork is a bit rough. It seems that Xie Rujian did it by himself, but it is still repaired after all.Chu Lingya watched as Xie Rujian gently touched the comb, then put it in front of him, on the left side of Guanxuandial, and then took out another thing, which was Chu Lingya's ID card.

Chu Lingya: "..."

"Depend on!"

Chu Lingya didn't have time to lament the ugly photo of her ID card, and then saw Xie Rujian pointing to the Guanxuan dial, and the parts of the dial other than the eyes turned quickly.Out of the three circles in the inner three circles, the outer three circles. It turns out that the Guanxuan dial is composed of nine circles in total, and each circle is marked with complicated information. In the complicated choice, it is trying repeatedly, looking for the thread of the past.

With the continuous rotation of the Guanxuan dial, this Huai Island has also changed. The muddy swamp on the ground that originally looked like a swamp disappeared, replaced by a transparent and smooth mirror surface, and the charming colorful light is centered on the Guanxuan dial. Huai Island spread out in all directions, forming waves of water.Looking at it, Chu Lingya only felt a blur in front of his eyes, followed by a feeling of weightlessness.The process was quick, and in an instant he was up and down, and then found himself falling into a shocking space.

"This is..." Chu Lingya was stunned by the scene in front of him.He can probably guess what Xie Rujian wants to do, the latter must want to use the unique power of the heir of Guanxuan Palace to observe the past, find out his life experience, understand his identity, so as to find a cure for him; Chu Lingya also imagined the power of Guanxuan Palace from Lao Zhou's storytelling description, especially the power of Xie Guanxuan, who is known as an immortal genius; but hearing about it is one thing, but witnessing it with his own eyes is another concept.

Xie Rujian is amazing!Chu Lingya looked at everything around her, and couldn't help admiring from the bottom of her heart!

The ancients said that the universe is space, and the universe is time. Together, the universe represents all the birth, growth, and passing of life. Ancient and modern literati generally cannot do without several metaphors. Some say that time is like the endless rivers, lakes, and seas. It is said that time is a bright and vast galaxy, and it is also said that time is a collection of books in the palace of heaven. Countless dynasties from ancient times to the present are all in the vast volumes. Turning a page lightly, it is a hundred years of tit-for-tat, fighting and fusion, but Chu Lingya It never occurred to Xie Rujian that the time in Xie Rujian's eyes was like this.

It was a stretch of cliff carvings!

The endless green hills are endless from near to far, and there are no trees and weeds on all the mountains, and there are no strange rocks. There are only flat, square and huge mountain walls.From here to there, from high places to low places, every cliff wall is engraved with dense small characters, some are scribbled and wild, some are neat and beautiful, and some of Chu Lingya can’t tell whether they are characters or not. painting.These stone carvings rushing towards the face, combined with the thick mountain rocks, give people a feeling of desolation, as if they can see the traces of thousands of years of time flowing here at a glance.

It turns out that time can still be in this shape. It is a neat and rigorous record, an eternal truth, and an immortal footprint carved deep into the bones of the mountain!

Before Chu Lingya recovered from the shock, he felt himself flying up suddenly.Xie Rujian is like a bird flying up and down in this vast sea of ​​stone carvings. He is holding a cane in his hand. The top of the cane is exactly the eye in the Xuandial. At this time, this eye is looking around, as if He was looking for his goal among the stone carvings of hundreds of millions of mountains, and under his feet was an illusory compass with flowing light and shadow. It was this thing that carried Xie Rujian to travel in this sea of ​​stone carvings.

Xie Rujian's movements were quick, and he found his first target in a short while. Chu Lingya only had time to see the word "Lingya" from the densely packed small characters, and felt a scoop of coldness coming towards him. Clear water, everything around was blurred, and the ears heard the buzzing sound, as if it was coming through the water, and it became clear after a while.

"Chu Lingya, you are so tough, let's see who dares to marry you in the future!"

"Who said my aunt is going to get married? When I grow up, I will marry my husband instead!"

In front of Chu Lingya's eyes appeared a man and a woman, two little kids, wearing typical junior high school uniforms, the age should be modern, maybe not in recent years, but not too far away.

wrong.

Hearing Xie Rujian's soft sigh, Chu Lingya felt the feeling of coming out of the water, and the surrounding scenery became clear again. The eyes on Xie Rujian's cane looked around quickly again, and quickly decided on a new direction.After a while, they came to a stone wall again, this time Chu Lingya could see clearly, Xie Rujian raised his cane, and the eyes on the top were like the eyes of a living thing, as if quickly swept across the stone wall in front of him. Afterwards, a certain part of the handwriting glowed with a faint golden light, and Xie Rujian then stamped the eye on it as if it were a stamp.

The feeling of entering the water and coming out came again. This time Chu Lingya saw a big old house. Through the window of the house, he could see a cradle near the window, and a baby lying in swaddling clothes. Zhongzheng stared at a certain place intently.Chu Lingya followed his gaze and found that he was looking at a corner of the yard, where there was a faint ghost, a dead child squatting on the ground digging the soil.

"This is...me?" Chu Lingya looked at the baby with complicated emotions. Few people had similar experiences.Before his complicated mood was over, Xie Rujian's voice came: "The direction is right, but it's not early enough."

Then came the feeling of entering the water again. When the water came out, it was a thunderstorm in summer. Chu Lingya saw under the lightning, a baby in swaddling was thrown at the gate of the orphanage on a rainy night and was crying loudly.He was crying not only because he was abandoned by his parents, not only because he was drenched in heavy rain, but also because ghost shadows were surrounding the child at this time.

Those ghosts are not very powerful characters in the eyes of Chu Lingya today, they are just lonely ghosts, some lack arms and legs, and some are dressed in old clothes. At first glance, they are local aborigines. I am afraid that they have lost their reincarnation. Conditions, even before long, they will be out of their wits, but in the eyes of the baby Chu Lingya at that time, they must be extremely terrifying!

No one will help him... No, me, if this continues, those ghosts will kill me!

Xie Rujian obviously thought the same way, although the result was right in front of him, and Chu Lingya, who was alive and kicking more than 20 years later, was enough to prove that he was rescued at that time, but at this moment, standing in the heavy rain like a spectator and facing the scene of that year is still Made him frown.

"We have to go further." He muttered, and time turned back again.

However, this time, it was as if it was stuck. The time went back only a few seconds, and they were brought back to the same scene again.Xie Rujian tried again, and then decisively stopped.

"Is there a breakpoint?" He whispered, feeling the water coming out again, and Chu Lingya found that they had returned to the continuous storage of the cliff stone carvings.

Xie Rujian drove the Mysterious Eye again, and this time he flew for a longer period of time, which also made Chu Lingya startled at the vastness of the sea during this time.

Rock after mountain, stone carving after stone carving, Chu Lingya followed Xie Rujian in the sea of ​​stone carvings, and after about an hour, Xie Rujian stopped under a stone carving.

This stone carving is very big, and there are so many characters on it. Chu Lingya felt dizzy when he looked up. He guessed that even if there were not tens of millions of characters on it, there should be several million. In the historical records of long-lived dynasties or nations, Chu Lingya can see densely packed posthumous names of emperors, dates of birth and death, and biographical records with a cursory scan.

"Could it be that my life experience is in this stone carving?" Chu Lingya looked at the stone carving repeatedly, but didn't have any special feelings.

Xie Rujian also seemed a little unsure, this time he didn't rush into time, but fiddled with the cane in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.Through his movements, Chu Lingya realized that the eye in Xie Rujian's hand seemed not as dazzling as it was when it first appeared. Although the eye still exudes a strange light, it is already faint. up.

Entering time will consume the power of Observation Sundial!

Chu Lingya instantly understood the main point.Based on Granny Huai's words, Xie Rujian used to have a strong ability to observe mysteries, but later lost part or even all of it due to some reasons?Then he spent a long time recovering. During this period, he handed over the Guanxuan dial to Grandma Huai for safekeeping, so that one day he could restart the Guanxuan dial for a certain purpose. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and now he abandoned himself. The original goal, in order to rescue him, an employee of the Internet cafe, used Guan Xuandial's power in advance.

Chu Lingya looked at Xie Rujian, not knowing what mood he was in for a moment.

It seems to be too light to say that he is moved or admired, he only knows that no matter what happens in the future, it will not change his love for Xie Rujian!

"Brother Rujian, I will protect you in the future!" Chu Lingya said softly.

Suddenly, Chu Lingya's Lingtai shook, and he couldn't help but look in a certain direction.Not far away, there is a short and small stone carving, which is quite inconspicuous.If the stone carving in front of me is like a towering mountain, then that stone carving is just a stele, no, it may not even be a stele, because the height of the thing is only up to Chu Lingya's knees, and it is lying on the ground at this time Yes, it looks very miserable, but for some reason, Chu Lingya is very concerned about that stone carving.

Xie Rujian seemed to have made up his mind, he raised his walking stick, and covered the huge stone carving in front of him, just like stamping a seal, with his movements, the light in his eyes dimmed rapidly, and that kind of The feeling of being submerged in water came over again.

wrong!

The word popped out of Chu Lingya's mind almost immediately, not here, but there!

In desperation, he grabbed the cane in Xie Rujian's hand without hesitation, and flew towards the small stone carving.Chu Lingya didn't expect that this grasp would take a lot of strength. He obviously felt a pulling force on the other end of the cane. Xie Rujian was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the cane. Without the cover, more than half of the brilliance of the eyes faded, leaving only a little rice-grain-sized colorful light flickering on and off at the center of the eyeball, like a lamp that is about to go out due to insufficient power.

"Chu Lingya?" Xie Rujian whispered in disbelief, "Where are you?"

Chu Lingya didn't have time to explain. What he saw in his eyes was that the small stone carving was rapidly becoming transparent—it seemed to be able to hide and divert itself. Head there.Fortunately, Xie Rujian seemed to understand something, and followed up very cooperatively. The two of them rushed in like a flowing light before the stone carving disappeared completely!
