Xuejian and the others saw Guan Liyuan taking the initiative to talk so much to a pensive ghost, and looked like he wanted to send warmth, and they couldn't help but feel puzzled...
They naturally couldn't understand Guan Liyuan's vague fear of the "Pensive Ghost"!
Guan Liyuan didn't know if he was thinking too much...
In the original work, Jingtian in Xiansan and Nangong Huang in Xiansan Gaiden, the protagonists did not encounter the "Pensive Ghost" twice when they entered the Locking Demon Tower. However, when Li Xiaoyao entered the tower to save Ling'er in Xianyi, he met the Pensive Ghost who claimed to have been thinking for five hundred years without moving on the way...
Of course, if that's all, it can also be said that the Locking Demon Tower is very large, and there was an internal transformation in the middle, so Jingtian and Nangong Huang may not have taken this road. As the Ice Crystal Girl said, she also knew other hidden routes.
The Pensive Ghost in Xianyi was just like this, because he was worried about a problem and blocked Li Xiaoyao's way. This problem was quite speechless-worrying whether he should take his left foot first or his right foot first!
Has he been troubled by this problem for five hundred years?
However, what happened afterwards was even more bizarre...
Li Xiaoyao was anxious for Ling'er at the time, and he was hacking and slashing all the way in the Locking Demon Tower. At this time, an inexplicable ghost took the road as his own, and said something about left foot and right foot. If it were reasonable... Li Xiaoyao would definitely chop him with a sword! More
importantly... from the perspective of the game, the NPC, the Contemplative Ghost, seemed to have no function at first glance, and just had a boring conversation.
However, in this situation, Li Xiaoyao actually patiently helped him find a solution, and even asked the Book Fairy for advice - it felt like he was suddenly "not doing his job properly"!
In the old version, the answer given by the immortal in the book was to let the contemplative ghost cut off both feet at the same time, so that he would not have to bother anymore. The contemplative ghost also thought "yes, yes", and six years later in the new version of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1, it was changed to "jumping and walking", and the contemplative ghost also thought "yes, yes"...
If the old and new versions, including the various different endings of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 and The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 Gaiden, are regarded as noise caused by causal interference - that is, only one ending is meaningful, and the others are "bad signals", which leads to creative deviations of the creators of the creator universe.
Then there is nothing surprising, it's just that the role of the contemplative ghost is arranged inexplicably...
And if these are regarded as different causal lines in the world of The Legend of Sword and Fairy because someone made different choices, then the image of the contemplative ghost becomes unfathomable!
Because when asking the question of "left foot, right foot", Li Xiaoyao was just wavering between Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru, the two heroines. Perhaps the reason why he accompanied the contemplative ghost to "ponder" such a stupid question was that this question also touched him.
Combined with the two hidden endings added in the new version, that is to say...
if you answer the contemplative ghost to cut off both feet, Li Xiaoyao will face the tragic ending of "the fairy has passed away, the moon has left the tip, and the king's name is Xiaoyao, it is difficult to be free", and the two beauties will eventually die.
And in the case of answering the contemplative ghost to jump and walk, in the hidden ending of the new version, Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru still have hope of surviving...
If this is just a coincidence, it's okay. If there is a causal relationship, then the contemplative ghost is definitely a big boss - not only surpassing the half-immortal, but even surpassing the "common sense" of the half-immortal!
It's not terrible to be able to see through people's hearts, the ancient vine fairy can do it... But the contemplative ghost can interfere with the fate of the other party based on the other party's answer, which is more terrifying!
Even if a big man of this level can seal his true spirit, Guan Liyuan would not feel strange, so he was inevitably a little nervous, and even... smiled a little flattering.
"I'm thinking about something... I have walked through many floors in this Demon Locking Tower, and each floor is very interesting, but I don't know whether it is better to stay on the first floor, or should I find a chance to go out?" The Pondering Ghost had a thoughtful expression.
"Jump! I have to jump!" Guan Liyuan jumped up and said immediately after the Pondering Ghost finished speaking.
Pondering Ghost: ???
It seemed that at a certain moment, even the Pondering Ghost's thoughtful state was interrupted, as if to say - are you sick? Who is playing a game of answering questions with you? Why are you jumping... Did you say there is a next question?
Guan Liyuan also found that the scene seemed a little awkward. Just now, his mind was full of choices to jump, but it seemed that... the question had changed?
This also indirectly proved that the Pondering Ghost had a problem!
In the original work, he said to Li Xiaoyao sixty years later that he had "thought about it for five hundred years", so why did he change the question now?
Unless this guy is not only a pensive ghost, but also a naughty ghost...
"Ahem, what are you asking?"
After a moment of silence, the pensive ghost barely managed to keep his character intact and repeated the question.
"This question... is a good one!" Guan Liyuan felt that he needed to think about it and analyze the answer with the attitude of guessing the mind of the Chinese reading question setter.
If this question is directed at me...
huh?
Guan Liyuan didn't think too much, and thought of it directly-could it be a metaphor for me running around in different worlds?
In a sense, he is really a considerate question setter. If the teacher who set the Chinese test paper was so considerate, Guan Liyuan would definitely be moved to tears.
At the same time, Guan Liyuan immediately contacted Penguin...
After listening to Guan Liyuan's doubts, Penguin immediately replied: [The forum was discovered? Impossible! Although the level of this world is relatively high, there may be some top existences among them who can feel that you are from the outside world, and even from some situations of the incarnation, they can feel that you have a strange breath that does not belong to this world... but that's the most.
The real forum part, the world at the level of existing users, is not likely to be discovered, let alone interfere with the operation of the forum! 】
Hearing what Penguin said, Guan Liyuan was relieved. That is to say, even if the "Pensive Ghost" really has some special means, it can only interfere with the fate of his incarnation in the Fairy Sword World. From this question, the other party should have only vaguely realized that there was something wrong with his origins, and did not involve Xuejian and Jingtian...
In this way, Guan Liyuan's concerns were much smaller.
"If you like to walk around, just walk more." Guan Liyuan replied.
"Will it disturb them too much? I'm not a demon, after all, I'm different from them." The Pensive Ghost actually asked again?
"Nothing, right? I think you're cute, it's nothing to disturb you." After Guan Liyuan relaxed, he answered fluently, completely from the heart, and not to flatter.
Pensive Ghost:...
"That's right, that's right! I'm so cute, there will definitely be no 'disturbance'!" The thoughtful ghost was choked and paused for a moment before expressing his agreement, then turned around and left with a smile.
Xuejian and others on the side were all puzzled - did this ghost have his mind broken?
"Too disturbing"? And "get out"?
It doesn't seem like a powerful ghost. It just relies on not being restricted by the demon water, so it hasn't been torn apart by the demons who are in a bad mood because of being imprisoned?
Go out... Even the Heavenly Ghost Emperor can't go out, how can he go out?
"Monster, your aesthetic taste is not so weird, is it? Do you really think he is cute? What are you talking nonsense with him?" Xuejian asked.
Facing Xuejian's doubts, Guan Liyuan just shook his head and didn't say much. By the way, he called the old dragon and the old turtle twice in his heart - before that, these two guys were completely scared and ignored his calls.
Facts have proved that the more boastful a guy is, the more unreliable he is...
