Cycled?
Chen Luo sat on the bed and fell into deep thought. Seeing Chen Luo in a daze, the little maid quickly said sweetly: "Master, let's change clothes quickly. Otherwise, the housekeeper's wife will punish the slave..."
Chen Luo came back to his senses, looked at the little maid again, thought for a while, temporarily suppressed the countless questions in his heart, got off the bed, and let the little maid change his clothes.
At the same time, his mind was also racing with thoughts.
Is this a new world?
From the current point of view, there is a high probability that it is not, it is probably the mysterious and mysterious place of Wangchuan.
Chen Luo recalled what Emperor Lin had told him about the origins of these ghostly places.
When the two realms collapsed, the ancient Heavenly Dao that originally covered the Netherworld was turned into fragments. Some of these fragments were simply the source of Heavenly Dao, while others contained the rules of Heavenly Dao.
Later, as the years passed, most of the fragments were absorbed by the Netherworld, but there were always some tyrannical rules of heaven that resisted the Netherworld and evolved spaces on their own. These spaces are the Netherworld.
Because these rules lack the constraints of the complete way of heaven, some changes will occur. However, no matter how mysterious they are, they are still fundamentally related to the ancient way of heaven, and there are traces to follow!
"So, if this is really Wangchuan, then we must first clarify the rules of the Ancient Tiandao here!" Chen Luo had an idea in his mind. At this time, the maid had already finished changing his clothes.
Everything was the same as last time. Chen Luo followed the maid across the corridor and across the bridge to the small courtyard deep in the mansion.
"Let's try this out from this grandpa again." Chen Luo made up his mind, "Ask him about the big river outside the city!"
With this thought, Chen Luo walked into the small courtyard.
"Grandson...huh?" Chen Luo was mid-sentence when he suddenly froze on the spot and blurted out, "Who are you?"
It turns out that the old man in front of him is not the "grandpa" he met for the first time, but another person!
This man looked familiar, but I couldn't remember him for a moment.
The old man opposite heard Chen Luo's question and frowned slightly: "What's wrong? I don't even recognize my grandfather anymore?"
Chen Luo was startled and looked at the housekeeper standing next to him. The housekeeper had not changed at all. He just looked at him with some worry.
"Ah, grandpa, forgive me. My grandson read too late yesterday and was in a daze for a moment!" Chen Luo quickly explained.
It seems that it is not a complete cycle, this secret realm has undergone some changes that I don't know about.
The old man stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Chen Luo's wrist, and seemed to be checking Chen Luo's pulse. He said, "The pulse is stable. It doesn't look like he has been infected by wind evil."
After saying that, the old man took back his hand and said with a smile: "If you sleep late in the future, you don't have to come to say hello. Young people, it's a good thing to get enough sleep! It's not like us old bones who don't dare to sleep too much for fear of falling asleep. I can’t open my eyes anymore.”
"Grandpa is in strong health and lives longer than the immortal pine in Nanshan. He will definitely live a long life." Chen Luo quickly agreed.
"Humph, did your father teach you these words?" The old man said with disgust, but his expression was cheerful, "Okay, you go back and rest first. I will test your homework in a few days. !”
"Yes!" Chen Luo saluted quickly, not daring to ask any more questions, and quickly exited the small garden.
…
The change of "grandpa" made Chen Luo even more confused. The maid and housekeeper remained the same, so why did the "grandpa" who was most closely related to his identity change?
Is there any secret here?
Chen Luo was thinking all the way towards his residence. As he walked, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across his mind, stopping him in his tracks.
He remembered!
That "grandpa"'s face, he knew why he felt familiar.
It's from the shopkeeper of the "Baxiang Soup" shop!
However, the last time I went to the Ba Xiang Tang shop, the shopkeeper looked about forty years old. Now he looked like his grandfather, who was about eighty years old. So for a while, he looked familiar, but I didn't recognize him!
Thinking of this, Chen Luo quickly ran outside the mansion.
If the shopkeeper of "Baxiang Soup" becomes his grandfather, then who is the shopkeeper there now?
…
Chen Luo ran to the "Baxiang Soup" shop in one breath, and the waiter hurriedly greeted him. Chen Luo took a closer look. Well, the waiter has not changed.
Chen Luo came to the table where he sat down last time and looked around. Although he didn't pay attention last time, he still had some impressions. The table in front was a pair of grandfather and grandson, and the table on the left was a big man with a sinewy face. These No substitutions were made.
"Waiter, where is your shopkeeper?" Chen Luo asked straight to the point.
The waiter was stunned for a moment and said: "Sir, our shopkeeper has something to do when he goes out and will be back soon. Do you have anything to do with him?"
Chen Luo thought for a while and said, "It's not a big deal. The eight-spice soup in your store is pretty good. I would like to ask him if he is willing to open one in the capital, and I will fund it."
The waiter was startled and quickly said with a smile: "Sir, please sit down for a moment while I call the shopkeeper back."
With that said, the waiter motioned to another person to give Chen Luo a portion of eight-spice soup, and then hurried out.
At this time, Chen Luo also had some thoughts and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversations of the people around him.
"The weather is nice today, it's a good time to go out."
"I heard that Xiao Yunyan from Cuixuan Pavilion was combing her clothes yesterday. I don't know where the wealthy man spent a lot of money!"
"Brother Liu's baby is about to be born, and I don't know if he will be the one to take charge this time!"
"I heard that the barbarians in the north wanted to steal our national destiny, but they were defeated by the national master. Now the barbarians are suffering from the backlash..."
One after another, the market discussions reached Chen Luo's ears. Chen Luo listened to them, but did not find any valuable news.
At this time, his eight-spice soup was ready and served.
Chen Luo picked up the eight-spice soup and was about to take a sip when he was suddenly bumped from behind. His hand shook and the eight-spice soup in the bowl spilled all over the floor.
"Hey, I got rich, I got rich..." A middle-aged man with sunken eyes grabbed Chen Luo's arm and shouted excitedly, "I got rich, I got rich!"
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Chen Luo was stunned: Huh? Not Fan Jin?
"Ouch, get out, get out!" At this time, the waiter who went out to find the shopkeeper happened to come back. Upon seeing this, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the crazy man who was holding Chen Luo, and dragged him outside.
Chen Luo subconsciously wanted to catch the madman, but he stretched out his hand but failed to catch it. The waiter seemed to be very skilled and pulled the crazy man out in a blink of an eye. Just as Chen Luo was about to catch up, a well-built man blocked Chen Luo's way.
The other party cupped his hand and said, "I am the shopkeeper of this shop. I heard from the waiter that you are looking for me?"
Chen Luo was stunned and looked at the other party.
This is someone I haven’t seen before!
No, I’ve seen it before!
Chen Luo recalled quickly in his mind, and a figure quickly overlapped with the shopkeeper in front of him!
This is the official who was killed at the yamen gate!
Seeing that Chen Luo was looking at him in a daze, the shopkeeper mistakenly thought that Chen Luo was frightened by the situation just now, and explained: "That crazy man's name is Sha Zhupan, and he originally opened a teahouse opposite me."
"I kept thinking about getting rich overnight. Within a year, I ended up being deceived by others and lost all my belongings. My wife took the children and threw them into the river outside the city, and the man went crazy."
"Alas, he is also a poor man!"
Chen Luo frowned slightly, changed again?
"Grandpa" and the "shopkeeper" have corresponding changes, but why has Shazhupan also changed?
Does that mean that there is actually a Fan Jin in this city who failed to pass the exam?
"wrong!"
Chen Luo suddenly thought of something.
Both Fan Jin and Sha Zhupan collided with themselves and knocked over the eight-spice soup in their hands, and it was very obvious that the person they were talking to was themselves!
The problem is, my behavior is random!
If I hadn't walked into the Baxiang Soup restaurant, would they still show up?
New questions popped up in Chen Luo's mind.
Don't panic, don't panic, when you encounter new problems, you must learn from the big villains.
Never lose hope.
Turn up the corners of your mouth evilly, sneer and say "Things are getting interesting!"
At this moment, Chen Luo realized that Sha Zhupan should be an important clue.
So Chen Luo bowed his hands towards the shopkeeper, and then ran out quickly.
Chen Luo saw Sha Zhupan walking into the same alley as Fan Jin last time, and quickly chased after him.
Because it was a do-over, he moved much faster this time. When he caught up to the alley, Chen Luo could still see the other person's back.
Chen Luo chased after him again, but Sha Zhupan turned out of the alley, and then, a funeral procession appeared in front of Chen Luo.
This time Chen Luo didn't intend to avoid it, but rushed over to chase Sha Zhupan. But when he saw the funeral procession clearly, he was suddenly stunned!
If I remember correctly, the last person holding the tablet should have been a young man in his twenties. Why is it now replaced by a five or six-year-old child?
Has it changed here?
Seeing that Sha Zhupan was about to disappear from his sight, Chen Luo ignored the funeral procession for the time being and ran past them. When he turned out of the alley, he did not see Sha Zhupan.
"Are you looking for me?" Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind Chen Luo.
Chen Luo suddenly turned around, and at some point, Sha Zhupan appeared behind him.
At this time, Sha Zhupan didn't look as crazy as before. His whole face was gloomy, as if he was a different person.
"Who are you?" Chen Luo asked in a deep voice.
"Everything will be forgotten, so why bother pursuing it?" Sha Zhupan did not answer Chen Luo's question, but suddenly said this.
"Tick tock!"
A drop of rain fell on Chen Luo's cheek.
Chen Luo raised his head in confusion and saw rain falling in the sky.
"Huh?" Chen Luo frowned, "It's not the same as the last time it rained."
Suddenly, Chen Luo remembered the strange changes in the river when it rained last time. He quickly grabbed Sha Zhupan's hand and said, "Take shelter first. I have something to ask you!"
But at this moment, the rainwater fell on Shazhupan's body, and Shazhupan's whole body immediately swelled and twisted.
In Chen Luo's sight, Sha Zhupan's facial features were almost "squeezed out", his skin began to turn blood red, and his clothes were squeezed out, turning into a huge flesh insect.
On his body, countless faces appeared, roaring and screaming.
This is the monster that crawled out of the river before!
At this moment, the sky suddenly became gloomy, as if it was evening in an instant.
The meat worm opened its mouth, as if countless voices were mixed together: "Forget it...forget it...forget it all..."
The meat bug yelled and rushed towards Chen Luo. Chen Luo turned around and ran away, but before he could escape, he felt his eyes go dark, and he suddenly lost all his strength and fell down...
…
"Master, master, wake up quickly." A sound of urging came into Chen Luo's ears. Chen Luo felt someone pushing him and slowly opened his eyes again.
"Dead again..." Chen Luo stared at the unfamiliar roof and sighed, "Forget it, think on the bright side, this is not a cycle, it's just infinite SL!"
Chen Luo glanced at the anxious-looking little maid next to him, got off his clothes and opened his hands: "Change!"
"I'm going to pay my respects to Grandpa!"
The little maid was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was doing and quickly started to change Chen Luo's clothes.
At this time, Chen Luo's mind was also thinking rapidly.
"Everything will be forgotten, but I am persistent in pursuing it!" Chen Luo thought to himself as he recalled the previous words of "Sha Zhupan".
"The first time, I chased people twice, once with Fan Jin and once with the female assassin. But I couldn't catch up with either of them."
"Perhaps it was too far away, and they didn't even notice that I was chasing them!"
"Last time, I was a little faster and was noticed by Sha Zhupan, Fan Jin's character in the first time."
"So the subsequent changes happened!"
Chen Luo made a rough estimate in his mind. The first time the river changed, the monster crawled out of the river, probably in the evening. The last time Shazhu climbed into the river and turned into the river monster to kill him, from the time point of view, Look, it's around 4:00 in the morning.
But when the change started, the sky changed, and the day seemed to disappear in an instant. It came directly to the evening, which was roughly the same time as the first change in the river.
Another thing is the rain!
It rained both times!
"So, what did he mean?"
"Everything will be forgotten. Forget what? Obviously, I have retained the memory of every time!"
"I am persistent in pursuing. What does he mean by pursuing? Does it mean that I am pursuing him, or is it something else?"
Chen Luo frowned, and there seemed to be more and more problems.
Well, things seem to be getting interesting! (?_?)
…
I got dressed step by step and went to pay my respects to "Grandpa". As expected, "Grandpa" looked like a different person again.
Chen Luo remained calm. After saying goodbye, he chatted with the other party about the big river outside the city.
"That river is said to have existed a long time ago." Grandpa heard Chen Luo's question and slowly explained, "An expert said that the water in the river was unlucky and needed to be suppressed by popularity, so Goose City was born!"
"However, after the founding of Echeng, luck has been at its peak. Now, in addition to dozens of top scholars, there are also many officials in the DPRK and the Central Government."
"Even I, many people say that they have good luck in officialdom because of Echeng's luck!"
Chen Luo continued to ask: "Grandpa, have you seen the flowers blooming by the river?"
"Flowers?" The old man looked at Chen Luo with a puzzled look, "The land by the river is special. Nothing can be grown except weeds. Where can the flowers come from?"
Chen Luo opened his mouth, then changed his tone and said, "I read in an ancient book that there used to be flowers beside the river, red as fire, blooming towards the sun."
When the old man heard what Chen Luo said, he frowned and seemed to be thinking about something. After a full quarter of an hour, the old man spoke again: "No one has ever seen a flower like that."
"I once read an ancient book when I was young, and it mentioned the kind of flower you mentioned."
"That's what the expert who gave guidance on building the city said!"
"He said that on the other side of the river, there are red flowers, also known as the flowers on the other side."
"Flowers bloom for a thousand years, leaves fall for a thousand years, and flowers bloom only after the leaves fall. Just like life and death, they are born from the same root and never see each other throughout their lives."
Speaking of this, the old man took a sip of tea and said: "The expert also said that the day when the flowers bloom is the time of life and death in Goose City."
"They are just some anecdotes passed down by old people. You should study hard and don't take these strange powers and gods to heart."
When Chen Luo heard the old man's conversation, he nodded repeatedly, but he was extremely happy in his heart.
Flower of the other shore!
Manzhu Shahua!
OK, this is Wangchuan.
Thank God, I am still in the world of idle books!
Very good.
Although I thought it was probably a secret place in the netherworld before, I was still worried, but now I feel relieved.
Next, all we have to do is crack this secret place!
…
Saying goodbye to his "new" grandpa, Chen Luo did not go out directly this time, but entered the study.
He needs to sort it out again.
So far, the variables that have emerged are: my grandfather, crazy Fan Jin/Sha Zhupan, and the funeral procession.
Grandpa's pendant seems to be a must-have when he was born, and there is not much room for modification.
Those are the two places "Crazy" and "Funeral".
If I didn't go into the Baxiangtang restaurant, would I encounter a madman?
If I catch the madman before he is pulled out by the waiter, will he mutate?
And that funeral procession, isn’t the same person lying in the coffin every time?
Well, go give it a try!
Chen Luo walked towards the outside of the mansion again.
…
First, Chen Luo tried the recipe for Eight Spice Soup. Sure enough, when he was about to drink the soup, someone bumped into him again.
But this time, it was a young man in his twenties who wanted to compete with himself in poetry.
People have changed again!
Chen Luo stopped the waiter who was about to pull him away, and listened to the shopkeeper's introduction. This young man's surname was Fang, and his name was Fang Zhongyong. He was considered a child prodigy when he was young, but he became more and more mediocre. After he was laughed at by the crowd for writing a poem, he went crazy. .
As Fang Zhongyong tilted his head and read out a limerick, Chen Luo casually responded with a famous line. Then, Fang Zhongyong seemed to be stimulated by something, his face changed drastically, and he murmured, "How can you be better than me? How can you be better than me?" and ran out.
When Chen Luo chased him out, the sky suddenly became gloomy.
Then it started to rain!
In Chen Luo's eyes, all the people who were wet by the rain turned into river monsters and rushed towards Chen Luo...
…
"Master, master, wake up quickly." A sound of urging came into Chen Luo's ears. Chen Luo felt someone pushing him and slowly opened his eyes again.
Chen Luo slowly opened his eyes and looked at the familiar roof.
Gan!
Damn it again.
…
After changing clothes, saying hello, and leaving the house, Chen Luo chose not to enter the Baxiang Soup Restaurant this time, but just watched from the outside.
A full hour passed and nothing happened.
According to the previous time progress, I had already chased him out at this time.
"Can't the plot be triggered if I don't go in?" Chen Luo frowned and decided to put down the "madman" first and go see what was going on at the funeral.
Walking into the alley, Chen Luo soon saw the funeral procession!
Sure enough, the time when he entered the alley was different, but if he had not stepped into the alley, the funeral procession would not have appeared.
This time, the funeral procession changed again. This time, the person holding the memorial tablet turned into a delicate little lady.
Chen Luo took a careful look at the tablet, and found the name "Fan Jin" written on it.
"Fan Jin is dead?" Chen Luo was a little confused. Seeing that the funeral procession was about to pass by him, Chen Luo became cruel and stretched out his leg, tripping the person carrying the coffin.
The man fell to the ground, and the others immediately lost their balance. For a moment, the coffin was crooked. Finally, another person fell down, and the coffin flipped completely to the ground.
The lid of the coffin was opened and a corpse rolled out. Chen Luo took a closer look and found that it was indeed Fan Jin whom he had seen for the first time!
At this moment, the charming little lady stood in front of Chen Luo and asked, "Sir, why did you do this?"
As the words fell, the sky became gloomy.
A drop of rain fell!
The cute little lady in front of her suddenly changed her appearance!
…
"Master, master, wake up quickly." A sound of urging came into Chen Luo's ears. Chen Luo felt someone pushing him and slowly opened his eyes again.
Chen Luo let out a long sigh, why is it endless!
…
"How about showing it off?" Chen Luo hesitated.
If you don't care about anything, just let things happen naturally, and don't even observe them, can you spend a Christmas Eve?
When the next day comes, this secret realm will be naturally broken?
Chen Luo thinks this method is worth trying.
Thinking back carefully, whether it was a madman or a funeral, they were all closely related to me. Even if I ignored them, I still had intersections with them.
Perhaps many people think that they can just not participate, but they don’t understand the double-slit experiment, and they don’t know that observation can also affect the state!
But I understand it!
This is probably the key to breaking the situation!
In order to prove this, Chen Luo decided not to even go to greet his grandfather, but ran out of the mansion midway and found a hidden place to hide.
It’s easy to get through in one day!
While Chen Luo was waiting boredly, time passed by minute by second, and he finally made it to the evening.
At this time, it began to rain lightly in the sky.
A group of monsters seemed to have locked onto Chen Luo's position and rushed towards him.
Chen Luo: (￣ェ￣;)
…
"Master, Master, wake up quickly." A sound of urging came into Chen Luo's ears. Chen Luo felt someone pushing him and slowly opened his eyes again.
Destroy it, it’s quite tiring!
This monster attacking the city turns out to be a plot event!
"What's the connection?" Chen Luo frowned.
If you leave those things alone, let them take their course, but in the evening it will still rain and the whole city will turn into monsters;
If you interfere with those events, you will unlock the plot events in advance and then return to the original time.
It’s simply a plot killer!
It seems there is no way to avoid it!
Isn't that the point?
Chen Luo thought about it and found that in addition to the two events of madman and funeral, he also encountered two special events - childbirth and assassination!
Perhaps there are flaws in these two things?
"Go and see!"
Chen Luo stood up and walked out of the mansion for the nth time!
