And the wise man was indeed like his voice. Judging from his appearance alone, he looked like a child of a few years old.
But when he met those eyes like glass, Shen Qingyi felt a little dazed.
My head seems a little dizzy.
When the wise man saw Shen Qingyi, his brows furrowed slightly.
"What's your name, stranger?"
“Shen Qingyi.”
“Shen Qingyi…”
The wise man murmured.
His eyes immediately became complicated.
He opened his mouth, paused for a moment, and then spoke.
"You want to go out?"
Shen Qing nodded.
"Where did you come from?"
"An ancient relic."
The wise man's breath hitched slightly.
"What's in the ancient ruins?"
“A dilapidated house.”
Tasai watched the conversation between the two and felt a little confused.
Qiong waved his hand, signaling him to leave, and Tasai immediately bowed respectfully and left.
Only Shen Qingyi and the wise man Qiong were left in the wooden house.
"Tassai told you that I'm the only one who knows how to leave?"
Shen Qing nodded.
Qiong sighed.
"Did he tell you that almost all those who wanted to leave never left this world?"
Shen Qing became alert all of a sudden.
"You don't have to be wary. I mean no harm. They can't leave here for a reason. Anyone who wants to leave must come to see me and find a way. To see me, they must cross the River of Memory. The same goes for leaving. This world is easy to enter, but difficult to leave."
Shen Qingyi caught the key point in Qiong's words.
"Is there something wrong with Yihe?"
Qiong shook her head.
"There's nothing wrong with the Memory River; it's people who have the problem. This world is both real and fake, and everything is made up of the power of the Memory River. I'm sure you looked at the Memory River when you came in, and Ta Sai also told you not to look back. Do you know why?"
Shen Qingyi shook his head honestly.
"Because on this river of memories, if you look back, you'll be... doomed! But almost everyone who left looked back..."
"No exceptions?"
"Yes, there were some who managed to leave, but they all ended up appearing in the River of Memory."
"Aren't those memory fragments?"
"The living are fragments of memory, but some are transformed from the memories of the soul."
"Being able to possess the memories of so many living beings, is Yihe connected to the entire world?"
Qiong smiled and nodded.
"The Memory River was born along with the creation of heaven and earth. Rather than calling it a river, it's better to say... well, to use the words of you monks, it's a sacred vessel that accompanies the sound of heaven and earth."
Shen Qing's eyes fell on Qiong.
"Are you the spirit of this world?"
A smile appeared in Qiong's eyes.
"You are very clever, human cultivator. In fact, the Memory River World has been a forbidden area since ancient times. Many secrets are buried here, so the rules here restrict certain things to prevent those who leave here from disrupting the cause and effect between heaven and earth. But what is true cause and effect, no one knows. For example, entering the Memory River World is also an opportunity. Isn't seeing certain things also a kind of cause and effect? You and this place... are destined, but also not destined."
Shen Qing frowned.
"Entering here may not be a good thing for anyone. Human monk, why don't you stay here?"
Qiong's words were very tempting.
It’s just like those illusions, wanting to keep people in the illusion forever.
"After all, going out may not be a good thing. Things you don't want to see may happen, or things that make you suffer may happen. It's better to stay here, like the True Clan, get up early and come home late, watch the sunrise and sunset, and be self-sufficient. Isn't the purpose of cultivators to live as long as the heaven and earth? Here you can also realize this wish. Why not stay here, without worries?"
Shen Qingyi's mind became confused again, and he felt that he seemed to yearn for this kind of life.
What is the purpose of cultivating immortals in the world of immortal cultivation?
Don’t cultivators want to ascend to heaven and become immortals, then attain enlightenment and become saints, and live as long as heaven and earth?
Isn't this the way the world is?
But is it really like this?
Is she cultivating immortality just to become a saint? To live as long as heaven and earth?
But what is immortal cultivation, and what is a saint...
Looking at the eyes that had lost focus, becoming clear again and more determined, Qiong sighed helplessly.
"You've made up your mind to leave, and I can't stop you. But... when you leave the River of Memory, don't look back."
Shen Qingyi's figure suddenly flew backwards.
Looking at Shen Qingyi who was gradually getting smaller, Qiong lowered his eyes.
"I've already changed my fate, so why get involved in this mess again? Besides... isn't it better to stay here? Aren't those people staying here too?"
The sun in the sky completely set and darkness fell again.
The figures of the Zhen tribe members faded and finally disappeared.
The once bustling village suddenly became deserted, leaving only the dome in the wooden house.
"Tomorrow... is another new day. We've had quite a few guests lately..."
Shen Qingyi's body was dragged by a force, and she closed her eyes tightly as she quickly entered the River of Memory.
She listened to the advice.
"Chen Qingyi... look back... look back, look at your master, what happened to him? Your senior brothers and sisters, and your friends, why are they closing their eyes?"
A voice suddenly appeared, Shen Qingyi's eyelids trembled, and his hands under his sleeves clenched suddenly.
"Here... why is there so much blood? What happened to them? Why are they crying? Shen Qingyi... are you really not going to care about them? Look, where is this? Yunze Continent... Tianfeng Continent... Soul Realm... many people have their eyes closed..."
The sound in his ears continued, always tempting Shen Qingyi to look back.
Every word seemed to come from the depths of Shen Qingyi's heart.
The more she cared about something, the more it said something.
A layer of cold sweat appeared on Shen Qingyi's forehead.
Trying hard to keep your sanity unaffected.
She had to go out, she still had a lot of things to do...
"Alas... truth is also false, false is also true. How can you be sure that all this is just an illusion? You have seen the past through me, why not look back and see the future..."
Shen Qing's eyebrows suddenly jumped and his eyelids trembled.
Just as the light was about to shine into her dark world, she closed her eyes again.
“Boom!”
Lightning flashed, and Qiong looked at the huge vortex that appeared in the sky, with a myriad of thoughts in his eyes.
Until Shen Qingyi completely disappeared in the vortex.
And the Memory River World also ushered in the second day.
"Bang!"
A Rong flapped his wings, but the moment he landed, he turned into a young boy.
This is what he looks like after transforming. Looking at the trees around him, he can't help but frown.
Suddenly a white shadow flashed by, and he subconsciously wanted to attack, but was stopped by someone.
"What are you doing?! How dare you attack the White Shadow Beast?"
