change god

Xie Yingzhou was about to ask, when she saw a white spot shining brightly in the darkness in the distance, it exploded suddenly, chaos intertwined around, darkness and light flowed between Xie Yingzhou and Ji Qinglan like flowing water, Then time went back and the stars shrank. After a period of spinning, Xie Yingzhou found herself in the midst of bright stars, surrounded by dead silence, shocked by the vast and endless starry sky in front of her. Xie Yingzhou did not recover for a long time. Until she saw a familiar blue water ball among the stars orbiting around her.

Earth.

Xie Yingzhou was about to say it subconsciously, but reason made her shut up, and she looked at Ji Qinglan next to her suspiciously.

"Senior Ji, where is it?"

"The four directions are called the universe, and the past and the present are called the universe. I think you should know that this is the universe, and it is also my inner phase."

There was a buzzing in Xie Yingzhou's head, and she couldn't react for a long time. She never thought, how could someone's inner phase be the universe?

how so?In Xie Yingzhou's mind, there is only this question now, and she also vaguely thought of something about her inner appearance, which made her flustered for a while.

"You said that your inner appearance is a mountain, but mountains are not mountains, water is not water, and stars are not stars. I think you should look at your inner appearance from another angle, so I let you see my inner appearance." Your inner appearance," Ji Qinglan said solemnly, "Miss Xie, your inner appearance, no matter what appears there, belongs to your domain, so you don't have to be afraid."

"Senior..." Xie Yingzhou couldn't say a word. Whether she was shocked by the scene in front of her or refreshed her understanding of the world again, she didn't know what she would face in the future.

"Someone told me that when we are restrained and unable to explore the outer world, the inner form appears, which is our foundation and the direction of our heart. Miss Xie, is your inner form really just a mountain? You Go take a closer look."

"Yes." Xie Yingzhou lowered her head and stopped the question she was about to say. She actually wanted to ask Ji Qinglan, who told you that when you said us, did you refer to gods or humans?As for Xie Yingzhou, this is the time when she most wants to avoid things like immortals, so she doesn't want to ask, don't want to understand, she just wants to hide away.

"I was one of the fallen leaves in the wind that I mentioned before. You must be shocked by my inner appearance. Ever since I saw it when I was five years old, I have... almost gone crazy." Speaking of this, Ji Qinglan Close your eyes deeply.

After a long time, he opened his eyes again, "I made a lot of efforts to realize that this is the universe."

"... Can you see the surface of the stars?" Xie Yingzhou took a long time before forcing herself to come back from her wandering thoughts and divert her attention to look at the blue water ball in the distance.

"You also think that star is very beautiful, don't you? It's a pity that my cultivation has not reached the point where I can see the original appearance." Ji Qinglan lightly raised his hand, and the distance between the two of them and the blue water polo was pulled Close, but only a short distance away, "No matter how close you are, there is no other way."

Xie Yingzhou looked straight, and as the distance between the blue water polo and her was drawn closer, her heart was pounding and she held her breath, unable to calm down no matter what.

Until the blue water polo was more than ten feet away from her, Xie Yingzhou looked at it as if looking at a globe. She stared at it and saw the Eurasian continent she was familiar with, but the shape was different from what she remembered. Looking at the blue area like a ditch from a distance, it should be the inland Great Lakes and Inner Sea. Xie Yingzhou knows that this is the mainland of China where she is now. If you look closely, the terrain of the Eurasian continent is better than the map you saw before crossing. Even more "broken", there are many more lakes and seas than in Xie Yingzhou's impression, and some of them even appear inexplicably, as if they were forcibly chiseled in.

She moved her eyes down and saw circles of water spirals on the blue ocean. The fog looked very dangerous. After crossing a large area of ​​ocean, she saw the Southern Continent, which was smaller than the Shenzhou Continent. The continent is pitch black and the strange mountains are jagged. Xie Yingzhou wanted to trouble Ji Qinglan to turn the "earth" in front of her eyes, but she suddenly thought of something too shocking, so she shut her mouth and turned to the side lightly. Staring at the Demon Realm, I found that its territory is also very large, just like Australia, Antarctica, and South America before crossing, and then put everything together, which made Xie Yingzhou feel familiar and strange.

"You know this star?" Ji Qinglan saw Xie Yingzhou's performance, and already knew what she was thinking.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Yingzhou nodded, "Yes, I know this star, Senior Ji," Xie Yingzhou raised her head, showing a tired smile, "We live on this star."

"You, you mean?" Ji Qinglan, who has always been calm, turned pale. He never thought that the blue water polo that he was gradually pulling closer was the place where they lived.

"This is the mainland of China. This should be the Demon Realm. That continent covered in thick fog, we call it Africa, but the shape is a little different, huh? What about the North American continent...?" At this point, Xie Yingzhou spoke abruptly But it stopped because she found that she couldn't find the corresponding plate of North America, and she turned around the earth in front of her a few times, and found that North America had completely disappeared, and the whole earth seemed to be held in the hands of a bear child. Pinching and kneading, the continental plates in my impression became missing, distorted, and reversed here, and the lakes and inland seas became numerous and complicated. Xie Yingzhou rubbed her chin and turned her eyes to the roof of the world, although she didn't know where the roof of the world was before crossing. What does the perspective of the universe look like, but Xie Yingzhou always feels that when I look at the "roof of the world" now, it is always different from what I imagined, it is white, like a raised white cover on the earth, and like a Hole, abyss...

"who are we?"

"Hey, Senior Ji, I also have a secret or two, so it's inconvenient to tell." Xie Yingzhou directly refused to answer Ji Qinglan's question.

"Are we living here?" After being shocked, Ji Qinglan quickly came back to his senses and asked with great interest, pointing to the mainland of China.

"Well, but I don't know the exact location of Qin Zhen. Let me see, this vast expanse of whiteness should be Kunlun. Then tell me, where is Qin Zhen?"

"The big area above is all Qinzhen's land." Ji Qinglan pointed it out immediately.

Like good students in class, the two stood in front of the blue water polo and began to distinguish the positions of various countries.

After a long time, Xie Yingzhou suddenly said, "Senior Ji, I don't know if your internal appearance is related to reality. Maybe you sneeze, and the water polo will create a huge wind and waves, so you have to be careful."

"Well, of course I know, alas..." At this point, Ji Qinglan sighed deeply, "It's really scary."

"..." Xie Yingzhou looked at Ji Qinglan as if she couldn't understand his thoughts, and didn't know the real reason why he let her see his inner face, but Xie Yingzhou didn't believe the reason he said, at least not [-]% Full letter.

Ji Qinglan raised his head and pushed lightly, the surrounding stars receded, starlight flashed from their hair tips and shoulders, and then everything fell silent again, Xie Yingzhou raised his head again, and he was already in the starless and moonless streets of Haicheng.

"Bow woof!" A dog barked in the distance, Xie Yingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and stayed away from Ji Qinglan's vast and vast interior, so that her heart would no longer be tense.

"Senior Ji, why are you helping me like this?"

"Who knows that today's friends will not become tomorrow's enemies? If we really become enemies, I hope you will think of me today and be gentle with me?"

"Senior, you really like to joke." Xie Yingzhou didn't think that she was qualified to be Ji Qinglan's enemy at all, especially after she saw the other's inner face.

"Who knows what's going on in the world." The two walked slowly towards the inn.

Xie Yingzhou shook her head, but did not answer.

"By the way, I want to remind you that your strange weapon may not last long. I suggest you learn swords."

"Why?"

"You have a sword inside you."

"No way?" Was it Chang Liu Zhufeng's handwriting again?Xie Yingzhou frowned.

"It feels like a sword of mercy...you can only explore the rest." Ji Qinglan smiled.

"...Understood." Xie Yingzhou wanted to avoid this matter. Although she no longer gave up on herself because of the Zhao Rang City incident, she still didn't look like a god.

"Miss Xie, if we don't become enemies, we might as well do something with Ji at that time."

"what's up?"

"It's not good to say, but I just have a feeling that I may need your help. I went to the extreme north this time to see how to deal with this matter."

"Senior Ji, you are really like a magic stick." Ji Qinglan was always slurring his words, and Xie Yingzhou bluntly complained.

"Ha, then I'll give you a divination..." Ji Qinglan said, bent down and picked up two dead leaves on the ground, looked down for a few times, and said, "...Tai, small to big , Jiheng. It is the relationship between heaven and earth, and all things are connected; up and down, and they are like-minded. Inner yang and outer yin, inner health and outer smoothness, inner gentleman and outer villain, the gentleman's way is long, and the villain's way disappears, The Zhongzhong hexagram is not bad."

"Forget it, I don't believe this." Ji Qinglan was perfunctory, and Xie Yingzhou listened perfunctorily, and didn't even bother to ask him what he meant.

Yima Inn

Holding a spatula, Xie Yingzhou deftly shoveled a plate of scallion-stir-fried mutton into the plate on the stove. The mutton exuded a tempting aroma. Xie Yingzhou felt quite satisfied, untied the apron, and put the A plate of stir-fried beef was put into the food basket, and there were already several dishes in the food basket.

It has been more than half a month since Xie Yingzhou came to Haicheng. Ever since Ji Qinglan left with Wu Yuan and his wife, she has been busy cooking in the back kitchen of Yima Inn almost every day. It's just that she doesn't eat it herself, and she doesn't allow others to eat it. The dishes here are so delicious that the innkeeper asks her every day if she wants to stay as a chef.

"Miss Xie, you..." The chubby innkeeper rubbed his hands with a courteous expression.

"This is the food money for these days. Starting tomorrow, I won't come." Xie Yingzhou took a piece of silver and handed it to the innkeeper, and left with the food basket.

In the past half a month, she delivered delicious food to the Dragon King Temple every day, hoping to have a good talk with the Dragon King, but unexpectedly, for half a month, she never saw the dragon's beard, let alone meet.

It's just that if you don't come out, you won't come out, but this picky eater always eats up Xie Yingzhou's food at the Eight Immortals Table without anyone noticing, but she is not as good as others now, and she can't catch her even if she tries to catch her. no temper.

It's not an option to continue spending like this. Xie Yingzhou still has a lot of things to do. After a month and a half of preparation and deliberation, she decided to follow the plan she had agreed with Ye Wujian and go to the imperial capital, Zhenyang, because there are three schools and nine streams. , The news from all over the place can be inquired there. If she wants to find Ye Wujian and the little tiger, she must first inquire about some reliable information. Moreover, she needs to know more about the Yin family.

So she is going to feed for the last time today, and leave Haicheng tomorrow for the imperial capital Zhenyang.
