Chapter 293 Xuan Che's Master Uncle is a Character
Like being stuck between two worlds?
Hearing Xuan Che's words, Yu Sheng's heart suddenly moved: "Yes, that's the feeling!"
Then he immediately reacted: "Wait, do you know what's going on?!"
"I have never seen it," Xuan Che shook his head, but then he changed the subject, "But I have heard my master uncle mention some strange and bizarre things he saw when he was traveling in his early years. One of them reminded me of the situation in your room."
Yu Sheng immediately became interested: "Tell me about it?"
Xuan Che recalled for a moment and spoke slowly: "Master Uncle said that when he was seeking the Tao in his early years, he had searched for the stars. Because his immortal boat malfunctioned, he mistakenly came to an unknown 'barren planet'. That planet was not on any navigation map, and there were no navigation marks or stations set up by any civilization nearby. However, the space around the planet was reverberating with strange howling sounds - in the words of outsiders, it is also called 'electromagnetic howling'. In order to repair the immortal boat, Master Uncle had to make an emergency landing on that barren planet, and encountered many very strange phenomena.
"He said that the planet's surface was lifeless, but there were countless black boulders standing on it. Each boulder was a thousand feet high, and hundreds of feet long and wide, like countless stone tablets as tall as a mountain, neatly arranged on the ground. Dry river valleys and cliffs could be seen between the boulders, with stone pillars of various sizes lying in the middle. Whether it was the stone tablets as tall as a mountain or the fallen stone pillars, they were all obviously made by human hands...
"He made an emergency landing on top of one of the giant stone tablets, on the dark side of the 'Desolate Star'. On the second day, he saw a sun rising from the left side of the immortal boat. The sun was as red as gold and as big as a wheel. On the third day, he saw... another sun."
"What the hell? Another sun?" Yu Sheng was listening intently, and was stunned at this moment. "Explain clearly, is there an extra sun in the sky, or... a replacement?"
"It changed," Xuan Che said slowly, "It was orange-red in color, the size of a fist, and rose from the left side of the immortal boat. After that, it hung high in the sky all day long. Because it was not as bright as the sun the day before, the whole sky seemed particularly dim and dark.
"Then on the fourth day, the sun, as red as gold and as big as a wheel, rose again... and so on, over and over again."
Yu Sheng was stunned as he listened to the story nearby. Although the style of the story coming out of the mouth of Xuan Che, a "cultivator", was more or less strange, Yu Sheng no longer cared about the style issue at this time. All his attention was focused on the two obviously different suns.
"Let me first confirm how many suns there are around that planet?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Just one," Xuan Che had obviously expected Yu Sheng to ask this question, and answered very quickly, "According to my master's observations before the emergency landing, the sun that is as red as gold should be the one visible on the surface under 'normal' circumstances."
"Then the other little orange-red sun is..."
"It does exist, but it exists in the 'other world'," Xuan Che said slowly. "The master stayed there for a long time, trying to solve this strange phenomenon. His final guess was that the planet under his feet was actually in two worlds at the same time, revolving around two suns at the same time - and the two suns overlapped at the same coordinates in the two worlds. When observing from outside the planetary orbit, you can only see the sun on 'our side', but on the surface of the desolate planet, you can observe the skies of the two worlds alternately on a daily basis..."
Yu Sheng listened blankly. After a long while, he nodded to Xuan Che with a subtle expression: "...your master uncle is a great man."
"I have great respect for Master Uncle," Xuan Che said with a smile on his face, but then he became a little embarrassed, "But my master is quite resentful of the fact that Master Uncle is always traveling around and not taking care of the affairs of the sect... Please don't tell Master that I said this."
Yu Sheng's mouth twitched, and he tried to adapt to the painting style of Qianfeng Lingshan while focusing on the business: "Where is the 'barren planet' you mentioned just now? Has your master explored it again after he came back?"
"Alas, it's a pity that since Master Uncle left there, the planet and the sun it orbited seemed to have disappeared and could never be found again," Xuan Che sighed. "Master Uncle later used the old coordinates recorded by the Immortal Boat to return and search several times, but only found a few cold dust clouds at the original location. He suspected that the planet might have completely 'fallen' to the other side, and the sun had also fallen into another world. Of course, it is also possible that the coordinates recorded by the Immortal Boat were wrong, after all, there was a malfunction at the time... If it is the second case, it is still possible to find the planet, although the hope is slim."
Yu Sheng didn't say anything for a while, but just walked to the end of the room silently and raised his hand to brush across the cold mirror.
Xuan Che told such a bizarre story - planets running in two worlds at the same time, and the sun switching every day. All of this sounded incompatible with the small room in front of him, but in the details, they showed a "commonality" that made people pay attention.
Being in two worlds at once.
…Just “two” worlds?
Yu Sheng suddenly frowned.
He recalled that the mirror not only showed the snowy cave, but also a ruin shrouded in black fog, and a dead blond doll, lying in pieces among the ruins.
What if every “scene” reflected in this mirror represents a “position” that “overlaps” with this room?
Then... this room might be even more outrageous than the "barren planet" that Xuan Che's master uncle saw! Yu Sheng's imagination spread involuntarily, and after a long time, he slowly gathered those thoughts that swarmed out.
Looking up, I saw Xuan Che still studying the wall around the mirror carefully, touching here and there, and occasionally taking out a talisman from the pocket of his casual clothes. I don't know what he said, but the talisman ignited and dissipated in his hand out of thin air, creating short ripples, as if he was testing something.
Irene and Hu Li were standing not far away. The two of them, who together didn't even have a primary school diploma, were whispering to each other, analyzing what Xuan Che was doing.
The little puppet poked the fox's tail and said, "Hey, look, this is how you cultivate immortality. Look at the style of painting - although the style of painting is not so right, it is much more normal than yours."
"I, I know this too!" Hu Li was also quite interested in what Xuan Che was fiddling with, but after hearing what Irene said, he still insisted, "But we didn't use this kind of traditional talisman at that time. We just used the talisman-free spells..."
"No soul once you hear it."
Hu Li could never win an argument with Irene, so he started patting Irene's head with his tail again.
Xuan Che couldn't help but look back at the fighting puppets and the nine-tailed fox, then turned around and came to Yu Sheng.
"I just carefully checked every part of this room and indeed found many unreasonable places, but as you said, they are all 'closed'... Can the 'cracks' here be opened automatically?"
"No," Yu Sheng shook his head, "At least I haven't found a way to control it yet."
"Then it all depends on fate," Xuan Che couldn't help but sighed, "We can only wait until this place is 'opened' again. In its current state, it really doesn't seem to have much to offer."
"It's not a big deal. The story you just told me has already inspired me a lot," Yu Sheng laughed. He was quite open-minded about this matter. "Then let's go back to the living room. I want to hear more about Qianfeng Lingshan from you."
"sure."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The group left the strange room at the end of the corridor on the second floor. Yu Sheng was the last one to leave, and before leaving, he carefully confirmed that the door was closed before leaving with peace of mind.
After walking a few steps, his eyes fell on Irene, who was fiddling with her short legs at his feet.
"Ah wait, I suddenly remembered something!"
Several eyes were focused on him at once.
Yu Sheng looked at Irene who raised her head, and then looked at Xuan Che who was walking beside him.
Irene Pro max lacks a way to replenish energy. As a primary school student who grew up in a cyber cultivation society, Hu Li doesn't understand the ancient cultivation method - but now there is a standard ancient cultivation method in front of him! Although it seems that Qianfeng Lingshan is not very "ancient" now, it is at least a force with a complete knowledge system. Maybe there is a way to solve Irene's endurance problem? Thinking of this, he immediately sorted out his thoughts and looked at Xuan Che seriously: "Let me ask you something first - you people who practice cultivation have the saying of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, right?"
"Of course," Xuan Che nodded immediately, "This is the foundation of practice."
"...Can it be passed on to others?" Yu Sheng said, and suddenly felt that it might be a bit inappropriate to ask so directly. After all, the cultivation method sounded like a secret. Many novels, movies and games mentioned this in bloody and violent ways. So he quickly added, "I mean the most basic one..."
"You can also learn non-basic skills as long as you can pass the corresponding license exam," Xuan Che said as if it was a matter of course. "The basic skills are even simpler. The major sects over there recruit students every year, and anyone who reaches the enrollment age must sign up - it is illegal not to sign up."
"Uh... can outsiders learn this too?!"
"Of course! Just sign up and pay the tuition, but how well you can learn depends on your talent. From my impression, the international students from Jipro are the most talented."
Yu Sheng: “…”
After a moment, he slapped him on the forehead.
It seems that although Qianfeng Lingshan has not reached the outrageous level of cyber cultivation as Hu Li’s hometown, it is apparently already on a similar path.
Thinking of this, he coughed twice and pointed at Irene.
"That's what happened. She might need your technique of 'absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth'..."
