Chapter 96: The God of Mending the Sky and Controlling the Water (4)

With Shen Lou by his side, and being able to enjoy the deep sleep that he has never enjoyed since he was born, Yin Lumeng is not in a hurry to jump time.

He runs up and down Tushan with Xiao Shenlou who has lost his memory every day, observing the strange world under the great flood.

The terrain of Tushan is very high, so there is no need to worry about floods for the time being; but on the other hand, this makes travel not so convenient.

Fortunately, Shen Lou only needs to take a little sea water from the Sea of ​​Nothingness to create obedient phantom spirit birds, and he can completely fly them around.

The great flood shattered the clan civilization that had been established with great difficulty, but it also gave the whole world a new color.

The appearance of phantoms was just the beginning, starting with the first flying fish that transformed from nothingness to entity, after that more and more mysteries began to appear.

At the beginning, the patron saint of each tribe had a shape, protecting the old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe from being invaded by wild animals or phantoms;

Later, I heard that the witches of the big tribe who have not been affected by the flood have the power to summon wind, rain and fire;

Later, the gods of the mountains, rivers, sun, and moon showed miracles, not only human beings, but also the gods of all animals and birds appeared in front of the world.

The moment Yin Luming saw the appearance of Phoenix, he was amazed by the beauty of Phoenix.

Shen Lou noticed Yin Luming's eyes and asked, "Do you want it? I'll make one for you."

Yin Luming came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head: "No, just look at it. There is no place in Tushan to raise such a big bird."

Shen Lou was a little disappointed immediately, unwillingly said: "I can make it smaller."

Jingwei hopped arrogantly on Yin Luming's head, and yelled "chirp chirping" twice to Shen Lou.

Yin Luming smiled and stroked Jingwei's feathers.

Strange to say, Shen Lou and Jing Wei have been a bit at odds since the very beginning of their meeting, often quarreling in ways that are somewhat incomprehensible to humans.

At first Yin Luming thought it was just two children fighting with each other—after all, Shen Lou was still a child at the mental age now; but then the flames of war began to burn on him.

Every time he and Shen Lou went out to play holding hands, Jing Wei would deliberately fly among them, stop on his shoulder and peck Shen Lou from time to time, just to prevent them from getting along well;

At the beginning, Shen Lou wanted to turn Jingwei into a stone, but after Yin Lumeng found out and stopped him, he secretly used various methods to tactfully persuade Yin Lumeng to change to a phantom spirit bird.

Seeing Phoenix this time, Shen Lou specially brought Yin Luming here.

Yin Luming said helplessly, "What are you two fighting about?"

If he hadn't enjoyed the deep sleep he had never had before after coming to this dream, and his temper and mood had improved a lot, he might have taught the two brats a lesson.

Jingwei snorted and jumped onto Yin Luming's other shoulder.

Shen Lou said expressionlessly: "This one is too weak, it's not suitable to stay by your side."

"Isn't it enough to be strong with you?"

Shen Lou was speechless for a moment.

After a while, he reluctantly said: "Although this is a good statement, this bird is too ugly."

"I think it's not bad." Yin Luming touched Jingwei's head, feeling a little pity for this little girl who was buried in the sea and turned into a bird. "I quite like this translucent feeling."

Shen Lou was a little unhappy again.

Yin Luming said: "If you quarrel again, be careful that I will sue my mother."

Shen Lou immediately shrank his neck.

It's strange to say that Shen Lou doesn't have much human emotion, and he doesn't change his face towards the powerful and weird phantom, but he is a little bit scared of women.

When Xiao Shenlou and Yin Luming came to Tushan together, many people were full of wariness and resistance towards Shenlou.

I don't know if it's a subconscious restriction or intentional, most people in this era create phantoms that combine natural elements, very few have a human form, and Shen Lou is the first one that is exactly the same as a human except for the color.

The big witch in the tribe warned Si Wenming vigilantly: "Be careful that Qihai is replaced by that phantom!"

Shen Lou's rejection of outsiders was very indifferent - he didn't care if they hated him, nor did he care if they liked him.

Nvjiao said without hesitation: "If you don't want it, then be my son."

Shen Lou's face was blank at that time.

Nvjiao pinched his face and said with a smile, "I've wanted a child as cute as Qihai for a long time."

Coincidentally, Shen Lou delivered it to the door.

From then on, Shen Lou had another mother.

Nvjiao is keen to adjust the shape of Shen Lou - the body of the translucent phantom has not yet been finalized, and Shen Lou's clothes are created by herself, so Nvjiao designs clothes for Shen Lou while managing the tribe.

The grand ceremony clothes made of toba and roe skin, the linen robes dyed with white stone, and even the silk that is very rare in this era, the girl completely regarded Shen Lou as Miracle Nuan Nuan, and asked Shen Lou with great anticipation Can't become a girl, she still has a lot of new styling ideas.

Shen Lou couldn't bear such a strong maternal love, and even preferred to come and fight with Jingwei.

But thanks to the girl, Shen Lou's obvious sense of inhumanity disappeared a lot at the beginning, he would laugh occasionally, be afraid and helpless like ordinary people, and even run away.

It's just that the memory related to the nightmare game still hasn't been restored.

Yin Luming asked several times, and Xiao Shenlou obviously had the common sense of later generations, and occasionally the words he spoke would carry the vocabulary of modern society, but he just didn't have any memory, and he couldn't remember where the illustrated book was, which made Yin Luming very helpless.

In order to prevent Yin Luming from really complaining to Nvjiao, Xiao Shenlou was silent for a while, then changed the topic: "I thought about your problem yesterday morning."

Yin Luming was stunned for a moment, and the smile on the corner of his mouth retracted: "Is there any result?"

Shen Lou said: "I observed the consciousness of everyone in the tribe last night, including yours, and found that after you fell asleep, your consciousness stayed in your body, as calm as a pool of stagnant water."

"What does this mean?"

"Dreams are the activities of consciousness. If someone is dreaming, the consciousness will definitely fluctuate and even leave the body." Shen Loudao, "But everyone—no, not just people, even the immature consciousness of animals and plants .”

Yin Luming frowned.

This is something he recently discovered.

The person in this dream has never had a dream before.

Although it is a bit strange to say so, this dream is a dream of his previous life, and most of the things in it are consistent with the life that Qi Hai experienced.

Don't people in the Age of Myths dream?

Yin Luming speculated: "Could it be that the concept of 'dream' hasn't been born in this era?"

This could explain why he was able to fall asleep after coming to this dream.It's not because this is his past dream, but because in this era, there is no such thing as dreaming, and everyone sleeps without dreaming, so it doesn't matter whether his dreams exist or not.

And it's easy to understand that the Nightmare game didn't exist—because there wasn't even a Dream game yet.

Shen Lou said: "It's possible."

He paused, and added, "Actually, I still don't quite understand what dream you're talking about."

Yin Luming glanced at Xiao Shenlou.

"Dreams are a virtual world woven by your consciousness based on your thoughts and experiences, in which you will experience what your subconscious wants to experience." Yin Luming said, "But everything will disappear after waking up."

Shen Lou tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "If it doesn't disappear, it sounds similar to the sea water of the Sea of ​​Nothingness."

The corner of Yin Luming's mouth hooked slightly.

Ordinary dreams disappear after waking up, but there are also some dreams that cannot be woken up, just like those dreams associated with the nightmare game.

——Does the water in the Sea of ​​Nothingness have anything to do with the unborn dreams of this world?And what about the later Nightmare games?

Yin Luming vaguely had some guesses, but he was not sure whether they were reliable.

He looked back at the great waterfall that was still hanging high in the sky, and the sea of ​​nothingness below the great waterfall that had accumulated into a real ocean.

Perhaps because of a certain opportunity, the wishes of all living beings, including humans, aroused the effect of the sea of ​​nothingness, changed the world, and brought dreams dotted with colorful imaginations to every life in this world.

Later, under the influence of Nu Wa and Dayu, the sea water from the Sea of ​​Nothingness no longer poured into this world, and the remaining sea water gradually faded into a real ocean. Like Shen Lou, he moved to Nightmare Games.

Shen Lou is the system of the Nightmare game, so the Nightmare game was probably the harbor for phantoms at the beginning.

It's just that there is a problem... How did Yin Luming—or Qihai in his previous life, enter the Nightmare Game and become the first player?

Yin Luming thought to himself that with his current character and three views, even if he didn't know Shen Lou, after he found that he had "created" a person exactly like himself, at most he would be wary of Shen Lou, and he wouldn't be full of hostility towards Shen Lou.

But in the Nightmare game, the player's zero and the system's Shen Lou are mortal enemies.

What happened to make Shen Lou and Qi Hai change from childhood playmates to later enemies?

More importantly, Yin Luming never heard from Shen Lou that he and Qi Hai knew each other before the Nightmare Game was born.

Yin Luming suddenly reached out and pinched Xiao Shenlou's face.

Xiao Shenlou looked at him ignorantly.

Yin Luming sighed: "I thought your memory loss was just a temporary accident, but now it seems that it may be a sequelae."

"what?"

"People who lack soul energy will have some amnesia, and when they enter the historical dream, they will be easily confused again when they receive the memory instillation of the original character." Yin Luming said to himself, and glanced at Shen Lou, "In the end, we all forgot."

……

Back in Tushan, Yin Luming got an unexpected news.

"You want to go far away?" Yin Luming looked at Si Wenming in surprise, "Where are you going?"

"I've found a way to cure the flood!" Si Wenming packed his luggage with a look of excitement and solemnity. "Just as soon as possible, before the mountains are submerged by the flood."

"any solution?"

Si Wenming tidied up and said, "Actually, the biggest problem in controlling the flood is where to send so much sea water—we used to think that it was just a little magical water, but Qihai, you and Xiao Shen gave me advice. When I woke up, I went to try it on purpose.”

He threw the package aside, took out a bamboo tube from nowhere, and opened it carefully.

Inside is half a bamboo tube of light blue water.

"Look at it."

Si Wenming held the bamboo tube, closed his eyes for a moment——

The empty sea water in the bamboo tube suddenly floated out and turned into a translucent bird with fluttering wings.

"Phantom?"

"It's a phantom, but not my phantom. A person can only create his own phantom once." Si Wenming shook his head, "This is an ordinary phantom bird."

Jingwei suddenly flew up, and jumped happily with his new little friend.

Si Wenming turned the bamboo tube upside down: "Look, those weird waters are gone."

"what do you mean?"

"As long as we are on the edge of the great flood and imagine the great flood as birds, they will really turn into birds and fly away, reducing the weight of the great flood." Si Wenming said, "Of course, in reality, we have to imagine It's not the birds, it's the clouds."

Yin Luming was slightly taken aback.

"When the clouds become dark and heavy, it will rain, and rain is water." Si Wenming said, "Then in turn, water can also be clouds, and the flood is no exception. And when the clouds accumulate more , let them block the waterfall."

Shen Lou said abruptly, "Clouds can't hold back the water."

"You don't need to block it, you just need to assimilate it." Si Wenming gestured and said with a smile, "When the water from the waterfall turns into light clouds before it hits the ground, there will be no more floods on the earth!"

Yin Luming looked at Si Wenming in surprise.

Influenced by myths and stories, he has been thinking about where to find Nvwa to mend the sky. On the contrary, Si Wenming figured out the changes of water in nature, and then made inferences, trying to send all the floods to the sky.

Perhaps this is the reason why most of the "immortals" live in the sky in future myths and legends.

Regardless of Nuwa who has not been seen yet, Yin Luming even thinks that this is indeed a good way.

"Do you have to go in person?"

"I don't worry about others, and I can't do it." Si Wenming sighed, his expression suddenly a little depressed, "Now the flood has spread too far, and the flood has to be redirected first. My phantom bear can dig Mountains and rivers, let the flood go in the direction I want; and now only I know how to turn the flood into clouds and mud."

The Sea of ​​Nothingness can transform all imaginations into concrete things, which makes the directional transformation a bit difficult-most people's thinking is multi-threaded and messy, and it is difficult to control themselves to only imagine a certain specific thing.

Si Wenming's method is very simple - by drawing specific shapes on the soil, he connects the specific shapes with clouds, water, and soil. The more times he repeats, when he draws that shape, only Imagine that one thing.

Yin Luming admired Si Wenming more and more.

Although he is just an ordinary person, Si Wenming's actions are already similar to meditation in modern society, and may be the prototype of later magic techniques.

Yin Luming finally asked: "Then... where is Mom?"

Si Wenming's movements paused, his expression suddenly dimmed for a moment, and then he became firm again: "If we can't control the flood, even if our family is reunited for a while, there will be a day when we will be forced to separate. Even if Nujiao disagrees, I will... ..."

"Who says I don't agree?" Nvjiao leaned against the door, very unhappy, "Who do you think I am?"

Si Wenming immediately shrank her neck cowardly.

Nvjiao walked up to him, kicked his packed luggage, and was a little speechless: "What are you bringing? Why do you only have one set of clothes and no food?"

Si Wenming scratched his head: "Most of the time, I should dig the mud with the bears. It's useless to bring clothes... For food, just hit a dozen by the side of the road."

Nujiao looked at him quietly for a while, then suddenly sighed: "Even so, you should bring some."

"Nvjiao, I..."

"Needless to say, I'll help you prepare." Nvjiao turned and walked out, suddenly turned her head, with a serious and serious face on her beautiful and wild face, "I won't go with you."

Si Wenming pursed his lips and nodded, "At least one of us must stay to protect the tribe."

The girl said: "Until you come back, I will protect our home."

Si Wenming stood up and looked at Nujiao with some guilt, but the look in her eyes gradually brightened.

He understood what Nujiao meant, and promised, "I will definitely return safely."

After hearing these words, Nujiao turned around and left gracefully.

After Si Wenming went out to explain the tribe's follow-up arrangements, Shen Lou suddenly said, "His idea is very good, but I'm afraid he will encounter a lot of resistance."

Yin Luming had already thought of this point: "Those illusory spirits living in the Great Flood who have already materialized may not want their homes to disappear."

The history of the development of human civilization is a history of struggle against nature.

The eidolons call the Deluge their home, but the Deluge is home to beings who have taken over the real world.

There is bound to be a big battle between real creatures and phantoms.

Yin Luming was worried about this.

He stood up and asked Shen Lou: "How far has the phantom in the Great Flood developed?"

Xiao Shenlou also stood up and tilted his head: "Do you want to go and see for yourself?"

"Can you?"

"Of course." Shen Lou said firmly, "I'm here."

……

When Yin Luming was submerged in the flood, he didn't feel any impact from the water flow or the depression of holding his breath.

The "water" of the great flood is not real water, but the chaotic manifestation of the sea of ​​nothingness, which is naturally different from real water.

The lives that died in the great flood in the past were not "drowned", but were eroded by nothingness and completely turned into other things.

His body was covered with a layer of light blue light, preventing the intrusion of nothingness.

Xiao Shenlou held his hand and said in a low voice, "Close your eyes, and I will take you there."

Yin Luming closed his eyes as he said.

In the next second, Shen Lou's voice came: "Alright, open your eyes."

Yin Luming opened his eyes.

At this time, they were no longer in the small pool at the foot of Tushan, but came to the endless blue ocean.

Yin Luming looked down.

The sea water of the Sea of ​​Nothingness is always translucent blue, no matter how deep it is, you can see the depth at a glance, as if this magical sea water doesn't scatter light at all—or maybe it can emit light by itself.

Therefore, Yin Luming could clearly see those strangely shaped and huge monsters under the deep sea that was unknown how far away.

Some of them are like giant octopuses, with tentacles all over their bodies, but the end of each tentacle has huge eyeballs and teeth, which looks very scary;

Another was a tortoise, but with a human head on each leg, and the four heads were constantly quarreling;

Some have fish bodies on the upper body, human legs on the bottom, and insect wings on their backs...

Full of spooky and funny effects.

What amazes Yin Luming is that those phantoms are all extremely huge.Although there is no reference to estimate the specific size, each one is at least bigger than Tu Shan!

Each one is like a huge fortress, and each one seems to be able to easily crush any tribe and clan.

And they are still biting and fighting with each other, the big phantom devours the small phantom, and the light of the body is more obvious.

Although I don't know what they are doing, there is no doubt that it is not a good thing for humans.

These phantoms, which absorbed all the fantasy creations of the real world, quietly lurked in the depths of the great flood, quietly becoming stronger.

Yin Luming's expression gradually became serious.

These catastrophic monsters leave the great flood, can the current human beings stop it?

Shen Lou flew a little closer: "Do you want to go down and have a look?"

Yin Luming shook his head: "No need."

"I can protect you."

"That's too dangerous." Yin Luming said, "How long after you were born, phantoms will devour each other."

Shen Lou pursed his lips and did not speak.

Yin Luming scanned the extraordinarily huge monsters carefully—they are the enemies humans will face in the future.

After noting the images and actions of those boss-level monsters, Yin Luming said to Shen Lou: "Let's go."

At this moment, Shen Lou's expression changed slightly, and he rushed towards him!

"Shh!"

A tentacle as thick as a tall building quickly passed by them!

Yin Luming reacted instantly: he was discovered!

Even though they were in the shallow sea that was unknown how far away from those phantom monsters, they could actually discover their existence and attack them from such a long distance? !

The tentacle catapulted towards them from the depths of the great flood, and quickly retracted without a hit.

The huge eyeballs at the end of the tentacles stared coldly at Yin Luming and Shen Lou.

Yin Luming and it looked at each other for a moment, then frowned slightly.

The mood of this phantom is only mania and confusion. Looking at it alone, it seems that it is going to be insane.

When countless imaginations converge and merge, what appears is not a god who can satisfy anyone's wishes, but this chaotic, disordered, and incomprehensible monster.

Yin Luming looked at the direction where the tentacle bounced back, frowned, and said to Shen Lou: "Go quickly."

Shen Lou hugged Yin Luming: "Close your eyes."

Just as Yin Luming was about to close his eyes, he was slightly taken aback suddenly.

In the depths of the great flood, where those disaster-level phantoms gathered, something happened suddenly.

A huge shadow suddenly appeared under the huge tentacle monster that attacked Yin Luming and Shen Lou just now!

Then the two shells unfolded on the side of the tentacle monster, and before it could react, they closed with a "click" and swallowed the tentacle monster directly!

This phantom, which looks like a huge scallop, is several times larger than the largest phantom, and the tentacle monster that can only directly attack the shallow water layer has no power to fight back in front of it!
