"Are you talking? Who are you?" the woman asked doubtfully, and at the same time she became wary of the cloud.
After waking up, she noticed that the talking woman in the cloud was none other than Murong Jingxue, and the other man was naturally Ye Hong. At this time, Murong Jingxue realized that there was a talking cloud in this strange place, and she naturally became wary.
"Selected inheritor of light, you don't have to be surprised or afraid. I'm just a special soul that remains in this world. I exist to guide you inheritors. You can call me the boundary keeper." Tuan Yunwu spoke again.
"Boundary Keeper? Inheriter? What do you mean? Why can't I understand a word?" Murong Jingxue was full of doubts and even more puzzled.
The clouds and mist condensed into the shape of an old man, and then he solved Murong Jingxue's doubts.
"This world is called Qingxu Realm, which you should have known before. Qingxu Realm was once part of Tianqi Continent. For some reasons, it had to be separated and isolated from the sky. At first, Qingxu Realm separated from Tianqi Continent, leaving behind A passage connecting the two places is used to select the inheritors, and those who can come here and hold the inheritance sacred artifact are naturally the inheritors."
"Inherited sacred weapon? Is this what you are talking about?"
After listening carefully, Murong Jingxue seemed to understand a little. She thought that the only thing in her hand that could be called a holy weapon was the Holy Light Staff. When she was recognized by the Holy Light Staff, her father was so excited that he wanted to be the boundary keeper. The inherited holy weapon mentioned is this Holy Light Staff.
Seeing the Guardian nodding and confirming that the Holy Light Staff was the inherited sacred weapon, Murong Jingxue was still a little shocked. The Holy Light Staff had always been a sacred object of the Guangming Cult, and had never been mentioned by the elders in the sect. Is there any hidden inheritance? It's just a symbol. Even I didn't expect it to be connected to the sudden appearance of the Qingxu world.
"You said that the Qingxu Realm was also part of the Apocalypse Continent before. Why was it separated from the mainland? What happened at that time? Why is there no record of the Qingxu Realm on the mainland?" Murong Zai was confused.
"The reason cannot be said now. You will know it after you pass the test of the inheritor. As for why there is no record of the Qingxu Realm, it should be that someone deliberately erased the existence of the Qingxu Realm, or that they knew the existence of the Qingxu Realm. There is no longer a place on the human continent, after all, the Qingxu Realm happened a long time ago, and at that time, people would not call it the Qingxu Realm, but would rather call it Sanqingtian."
"Sanqingtian?"
Murong Jingxue tried her best to recall, but she seemed to have no impression of Sanqingtian. Like Qingxujie, this was the first time she heard about it.
What is the reason why there is no record of the Qingxu Realm in the outside world? What happened on the mainland that year? Murong Jingxue knows that it will be impossible to know for a while. It seems that the only way to know is through the inheritors mentioned by the people of the realm. Only through testing will we know the causes and consequences of that year.
"In that case, you should be able to tell me what the inheritance test is, right?"
The old man transformed from the mist shook his head and said: "I am just a boundary keeper. I don't know what the test of your inheritors is. The test of each inheritor was set by the emperor himself. Only the emperor himself knows the inheritance. The specific content of the test.”
The boundary keeper then said: "Inheritor of Light, if you are ready to accept the test of the inheritance, I will guide you into the inheritance place."
Murong Jingxue quickly refused, pointing to Ye Hong who was still unconscious and asked: "Wait! I don't want to accept any inheritance test yet! What happened to him? Why hasn't he woke up yet?"
Murong Jingxue had actually checked Ye Hong's condition immediately after she woke up. She knew that Ye Hong was not in danger and was still alive. He was just unconscious. She was not so anxious. Ye Hong could not be beaten to death in the past. experience, there is nothing to worry about. But now that he had been awake for so long, and he still hadn't seen any sign of Ye Hong waking up, Murong Jingxue was suddenly a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Ye Hong should have woken up.
In response to Murong Jingxue's question, the guardian said emotionlessly: "Your companion has fallen into a state of mind trial, and there is a high chance that he will not wake up."
Hearing the boundary keeper say that Ye Hong would never wake up again, Murong Jingxue suddenly became anxious, not worrying that it was impossible.
"What a state of mind test! Please explain it clearly to me!"
"Only the holder of the sacred weapon can pass through the passage connecting the Qingxu Realm safely. If the holder of the sacred weapon does not enter the passage and come to the Qingxu Realm, the soul will be trapped by the peripheral restrictions of the Qingxu Realm, and the consciousness will not be able to return. Only The soul can return to the body through the trials of questioning the mind and state of mind, otherwise it will be lost in the trials until the soul is annihilated and the body decays."
After hearing the explanation from the boundary keeper, Murong Jingxue suddenly became more anxious. She grabbed Ye Hong and shook him vigorously, trying to shake him awake.
"Impossible! Wake up! I'm already awake, why can't you wake up!"
"Aren't you a boundary keeper! Help me wake him up!"
Murong Jingxue anxiously asked the boundary guardian for help, but she didn't want Ye Hong to leave her like this.
The boundary keeper shook his head, "Forgive me for being powerless. The mental state trial was jointly arranged by all the forces in the Qingxu Realm to test and screen those who enter the Qingxu Realm. It has its own rules. If you want him to wake up, you can only rely on yourself. .”
Murong Jingxue's heart was all about Ye Hong at this time. It was impossible for Ye Hong to be trapped in the mental trial like this. No matter what, she immediately activated the majesty of the saint.
"What bullshit rules! Didn't you say that I am the inheritor of light? I order you in the name of the inheritor of light! Rescue him from that trial and be sure to wake him up!"
"Even the Realm Master could not completely interfere with the prohibitive rules on the periphery of the Qingxu Realm, and the Emperor must abide by them."
The boundary keeper remained expressionless, and after a pause for a moment, he said again unhurriedly:
"Although your companion is not a holder of the sacred weapon, he is contaminated with a faint aura of the dark sacred weapon. Even if he is trapped in the state of mind trial, there may be a way to survive."
"What's the meaning?"
Murong Jingxue, who was already a little desperate, heard the world guardian suddenly say these words again. Although she didn't know what the Dark Sacred Artifact was, and she didn't know how Ye Hong's body could be contaminated with the Dark Sacred Artifact, she knew Ye Hong still has a glimmer of hope, so he has something to look forward to.
"Ahem~ Ahem! Seeing that you are so attached to your fellow Taoist fellow, and for the sake of never leaving, I will reveal a little secret to you. When the ban was placed outside the Qingxu Realm, the Shadow Emperor felt that the mental state test was not enough. Perfect, I made some small changes." It was a rare occasion when the boundary keeper was not serious.
"He and I are not... If you say this, it will be even more impossible for him to pass the state of mind test." Murong Jingxue wanted to defend the relationship between the two, but finally gave up.
The Guardian continued to explain: "The Shadow Emperor has a protective temperament, so... you should understand. The aura of the Dark Sacred Artifact on your companion is not ordinary. It has been immersed in the soul. It must be with the Dark Sacred Artifact." It only happens when the holders of the weapon or the sacred weapon of darkness stay together all year round, so I said that he might have a chance to survive and get out of the mental trial."
After listening to the words of the boundary keeper, Murong Jingxue's anxiety and worry finally eased, but she was not completely relaxed. She was always worried about whether Ye Hong could really get out of the state of mind and wake up from the trial.
At the same time, Murong Jingxue was also wondering why Ye Hong was tainted with the aura of the Holy Artifact of Darkness, and why he still had to be with it all year round. Ye Hong also hid many unknown things from himself, which he had to find out.
Murong Jingxue didn't know why she had such a mentality, but she just wanted to find out and became curious about Ye Hong's past. I never asked questions before because I thought it was nothing and didn't want to know, but it's different now. I plan to question everything after this trip to the ruins.
A long time passed, and because Ye Hong never woke up, Murong Jingxue had no intention of going through any inheritance test of light, but stayed by Ye Hong's side. The boundary guardian didn't say much, he just turned into clouds and continued to wander in the sky, and told Murong Jingxue that as long as he was ready to accept the test of the inheritor, he could shout to the sky.
Murong Jingxue gently pillowed Ye Hong's head on her lap so that he could have a comfortable support. Smoothing the hair on her forehead and gently touching Ye Hong's face, Murong Jingxue was in a daze for a moment.
"I haven't noticed it before, but it looks weirdly good-looking."
"Why are you so stupid, like a fool?"
…
Murong Jingxue murmured to herself as if she was recalling something in a fantasy, sometimes showing an intoxicated smile, and then showing a bit of a girl's sadness, all the sadness written on her face.
"It's been so long, why don't you wake up! A small mental trial can trap you! Aren't you very powerful! You wake up! How can it be so difficult for you to be trapped by this little difficulty! You Let’s talk instead!”
Murong Jingxue sobbed unconsciously. She had been waiting for Ye Hong for a long time. Ye Hong showed no signs of waking up and was no different from a vegetative state.
"Don't you usually like to talk back to me? You talk! You don't say anything when I ask you to! You want to be taught a lesson again, don't you?"
…
"Listen to me! If you don't wake up, I...I will leave you alone and go back to me!"
Murong Jingxue couldn't say anything harsh, and in the end her tone was slumped and she lost her confidence. Unlike the way she treated Ye Hong before, she seemed to be much gentler and a little crying. She really didn't want Ye Hong to be trapped like this. Die in the trial of mind.
At this time, Ye Hong didn't know his current situation. He had completely integrated into that world and had a new life of his own. At first, Ye Hong didn't think he was reborn. It wasn't until he passed a special point and he was able to control his body that he really thought he was reborn, or that everything he experienced in Apocalypse Continent was a dream.
And that special node was the time when he was supposed to die and something unexpected happened. In fact, he did not travel to any Apocalypse Continent. He was born in Xihai City, a corner of Fenglei Continent, and his subsequent experiences were just a dream.
After waking up from the dream, everything returned to normal. After all, I was in my twenties because I was so oppressed by life that I had such a ridiculous dream. What kind of fantasy world of immortality? I only had such a dream after reading too many novels. .
Ye Hong, like all ordinary people, after waking up from the dream, arranged a blind date at home, married a fairly beautiful woman, and had his own family.
Not long after, he had a child of his own. In order to make a living, for his family, and for his children, Ye Hong worked hard to make money, working from dawn to dusk. Although life was not easy, the couple often had disagreements and quarreled, but they never left each other. , worked hard to raise their children, worked hard for them, and eventually their children had their own families and had children.
