So I asked again: "You mean you are the energy of Xuanwu, but you have the consciousness of Xuanwu, right?" The other party still answered in a mechanical voice: "That's pretty much what it means. It's just that, over the years, I have I have a new idea." I smiled inwardly. It seems that the so-called "many dreams at night and extraneous problems" do exist.
So I asked: "What's your new idea? Isn't it because you want to be independent?" The other party was silent for a while, and then answered mechanically: "Xuanwu asked me to give energy to its shell and then use it for you. But I think humans must be qualified to take away energy from me before my consciousness is worth disappearing. In the words of you humans, it is worth my sacrifice." I shook my head: "It won't be another fight, right? You seem to like to fight with humans very much. Are you often bullied by humans before?" The other party was stunned again: "How can we be bullied by humans? As long as you can beat me, I will give you my energy. If you can't win, , Go back wherever you came from." I scratched my head: "But I don't know how to go back?" The other party laughed mechanically: "Then you must defeat me, otherwise you can stay with me. "Although I acted calmly, I was very panicked inside.
My spiritual power is now sluggish, and I have no confidence in defeating the energy body in front of me. When I fought against Suzaku, I was simply beaten, and Xuanwu was probably not much different.
I have to find a way. So I asked: "So, where are we playing? Are there any rules?" The other party still said mechanically: "Here, there are no rules. When I feel that I can't defeat you, I will give my life, give you energy." I scratched my head again and asked: "Then if I accidentally kill you instantly, how can you give me energy?" The other party replied: "No matter if I die If you are still alive, as long as you bring the basalt shell within one foot of me, I will turn into energy and be absorbed by my shell." I was confused, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, whether this guy really has no mind or is it intentional Selling a flaw to lure me into a trap?
So I said: "Then if I approach you now, won't you lose?" The other party was stunned for a while: "Why didn't I think of this problem? It's because you humans are so cunning. Oh, well, I lose. Come and absorb me." I put down the basalt shell shield and said, "Don't worry, the senior is willing to admit defeat because he is taking care of the junior. How about we have a discussion and give the junior some advice?" The other party hesitated again. Yes, he said: "Okay, but we only have one round. No matter we win or lose, I will return to Xuanwu." After saying that, the other party started to cast the spell. I felt a large-scale spiritual movement, and I couldn't help but panic. Why were you pretending just now? It would be much easier to collect it directly.
But is there any regret medicine in this world? So I bit the bullet and summoned a little bit of the power of the moon spirit that I had finally gathered to protect myself, and then summoned a little bit of the power of the Suzaku, planning to fight the opponent head-on.
Unexpectedly, the other party did not attack me, but instead created a lot of ice flowers around me and said: "Nine Heaven Spirits, I don't understand the thoughts of you humans. You have obviously won, but you insist on fighting with me. Is it still with your spiritual power? If it doesn't work." I was wondering in my heart, does this thing know that my moon spirit power has been suppressed?
The other party said again: "Even if you have abundant spiritual power, if you use Suzaku's power to deal with me, you will only get twice the result with half the effort." I was confused again and asked: "Why? I always thought that fire can restrain ice." The other party actually sighed. In one breath: "Yes, but the premise is that your spiritual power must firmly suppress me before you can deal a fatal blow to me. And with the current state of Jiutian Spirit, I am afraid that it is like a mantis blocking a car with its arms, a cricket shaking a tree, or an egg hitting a rock." "I thought quickly for a tenth of a second and said, "So, do I lose this time?" The other party removed his spiritual power, walked towards me, and said, "Human beings are much smarter than me. What I should understand is my own. Go and understand. After my shell gets my energy, it will have abilities that I can't understand. It can also break the lotus platform. At that time, you can take away all the secrets. However, when you choose this mission, you have to To bear more things." I was about to ask something else, when the almost transparent, conscious energy suddenly rushed to my side, and then turned into a beautiful lotus flower, reflected in the basalt shell shield.
I calmed down and took a closer look at the basalt shell shield. With the addition of the lotus, it looked even more beautiful. There were also the twelve zodiac signs. I still don’t know how to use it.
I don’t know what the ability of that energy body is that it cannot understand. Suddenly, I was confused, who am I and where am I now?
I hurriedly looked for a way out privately, but it seemed like this was a closed place. I forced myself to calm down, there would definitely be an exit.
So I put down the Xuanwu Shield, sat down, and started trying to sense it. At this time, I suddenly remembered a person——Xuan Jiang!
That's right, didn't Xuanjiang say that he would come out to help me after I got Xuanwu's energy? I simply sat down cross-legged, put the basalt shell shield on my legs, and then borrowed the meager power of the moon spirit to try to sense the surroundings.
In this way, the sensing range and sensitivity are improved by several levels. I don’t know how long it took, at least an hour, but I felt a slight spiritual movement. Sure enough, a young man standing in front of me was Xuan Jiang, who did not break his promise.
I was so happy that I stood up in a hurry and said, "You're here. If you don't come, I'll be old. Why are you so slow?" In an instant, I rushed towards this location in space." I nodded: "It seems that the distance is a bit long." Xuan Jiang shook his head: "No, the distance is for you three-dimensional creatures, not for spiritual beings like us. Said, there is no such three-dimensional limitation." I was stunned: "I forgot that you can teleport through time and space. Then why did you come so late? The induction energy returned late?" Xuanjiang smiled mechanically: "Energy induction It happens at the same time. No matter how far away the three-dimensional distance is, the energy return will be sensed at the same time in the high-dimensional instant. Its delay is just the delay of my processing of information. You humans in Asgard have studied the theory in this regard. " I suddenly realized: "You came late, is it because the origin drifted?" The origin of time drifts, causing time to change." I was excited when I heard this: "What kind of technology do you have in this area, please teach me." Xuanjiang gave a mechanical smile: "These are just my innate abilities. What I know about origin drift is what I learned from you humans. When you learn the technology of Immortal Palace, you will understand." Xuanjiang suddenly stopped when he said this, and his expression changed a little: "I have told you so much , it’s time for me to leave.” I was startled and asked hurriedly: “What’s going on? Where are you going?” Xuanjiang tried his best to smile at me: “It’s time for me to return to Xuanwu. Well, I have something to tell you. , every space, no matter how big or small, is supported by energy. When energy does not exist, the space will be annihilated. In general, the creators of spaces have folding doors to facilitate entry and exit. Going in and out will only cause a small change in energy. As long as it is not too frequent, it will have little impact on the stability of the entire space, and the origin drift will be very small. But if it is forced in and out, the impact on the entire space will be much greater. "I suddenly remembered what Xiaojiao said about a strange bubble at the bottom of the water, so I asked: "How to open the Zheyue Gate?" Xuanjiang Mechanical's answer: "There are many ways, but I only know two. One is I am a pure energy body with no restrictions. There is another kind, which is the basalt shell in your hand. It can sense and open any folding door." I looked at the basalt shell shield for a moment and asked: "Is it possible? Is this the key to unlocking space teleportation?" Xuanjiang shook his head awkwardly: "The Nine Heavens Spirit is in your hands. When it senses the power of the Nine Heavens Spirit, it is. But if it is not sensed, it is not." I was stunned again: "Why, you only recognize the clothes and not the person?" Xuan Jiang tried his best to smile: "There is another way, find the spirit of the abyss, activate it, and it will become a permanent key." I After recalling it carefully, it seemed that Huang Laoxie and the others had mentioned this term before, but no one could explain why.
At this time, Xuanjiang suddenly leaned against the Xuanwu Shell Shield and disappeared. As the abnormal energy movement disappeared, I understood that it had also returned to the basalt shell.
But I didn't forget to complain: "Dear me, send me out and come back." If you look closely, the pattern of the basalt shell shield has turned into a lotus with two yin and yang fish in the middle, and around it are the twelve zodiac signs. .
But no matter how much I bang on the basalt shell shield or communicate, no one pays attention to me. After struggling for more than a minute, I thought about Xuanjiang's words and decided that I should go find the Zheyue Gate here by myself.
To my surprise, not far away, the basalt shell shield suddenly shone with golden light, and the portraits of the twelve zodiac signs actually started to rotate, and then the patron saint of the twelve zodiac signs appeared.
Although I was shocked, I still looked at them with a smile on my face and said, "Long time no see, everyone." The mouse nodded to me: "Nine Heaven Spirit, this is the Zheyue Gate. Do you want to go out?" I was overjoyed. Could this basalt shell shield allow me to enter and exit any space at will?
So I said: "No hurry, no rush, it's been a long time. Let's chat first and teach me how to get out." The Dragon God shook his head: "Nine Heaven Spirits, we are in pure energy form, unless we are in a specific environment. , otherwise you will not be able to maintain your physical state for a long time. After we send you back, you will have to return to the Xuanwu Shell." I was full of doubts, are these spiritual bodies so different?
But I didn't dare to ask blindly, for fear that they would suddenly disappear without a trace, so I had to ask them to send me out first.
So, they stood in a row of twelve, surrounding me in the middle, and strange patterns gradually appeared in the air.
Immediately, we actually moved to a place. Then there was darkness and silence, then into whiteness, and then I was back on the ice bridge.
The basalt shell shield is still on my arm, the marks of the twelve zodiac signs are still there, the lotus is still there, and the yin-yang fish is still there.
Just a huge turtle corpse floated on the water. I was a little sad and busy comforting myself. Maybe they were silly and lived a simple life. They didn't have to worry too much about life or death.
