The long-lost human voice suddenly came from not far away. Suspicious, Artolis straightened up and looked towards the source of the sound. Then she saw a figure holding a sharp weapon parting the branches and leaves of the bush, and emerged from the forest. The depths of darkness are approaching here step by step.
"Baron?" She had doubts about the identity of the speaker. With the little sunlight projected from above, Artolis finally saw the appearance of the person coming.
"Long time no see, Artolis." Meeting Artolis' surprised gaze, Baron tilted his head while holding the spear, showing a smile.
"One Qi transforms into three pure beings?" Listening to Barong's explanation, Atoris looked surprised.
"You mean, I am now in a dual-purpose state, with one consciousness dominating the body in reality, while the other consciousness evolved into what it is today, entered your trial, and came to this place? "
"Although the Taoist method you finally practiced was determined to be the Five Qi Chaoyuan, the effects brought about by the initial practice of One Qi Transformation into the Three Pure Ones were not completely erased. Therefore, the one who mastered the Taiqing Sword Qi and the Shangqing Sword You have the ability to have two consciousnesses." Baron said, gesturing for Atoris to look at him, then he leaned down and pressed his index finger on the muddy ground. In order to express the matter more clearly and intuitively, he used mud as a The drawing board sorted out the incident for Artolis.
In short, after Baron learned that Selese refused to enter the trial with him in order to suppress the rampage of demon blood in his body, Baron asked if he could introduce a third party into the consciousness space to assist. His vision of completing the trial. After getting Selesser's approval, Baron began to seriously consider candidates.
"Although it is very offensive to mention this matter in front of you, from a general rational point of view, letting Qianyin as a helper will definitely be the best choice." Looking at his composition, Barong touched his chin. He nodded seriously.
"In the end, you didn't choose Qianyin but focused on me. It was precisely because of the Three Purities Taoism, right?" Although I understand that Barong has such a straightforward character, it still sounds very rude no matter how he sounds. Then he narrowed his eyes "kindly" and punched Barong on the shoulder.
"I know a little bit about Chinese Taoism. It may be quite difficult to achieve three-part consciousness like Gao Wen did with one Qi transforming into three pure states. But if it is only two-part consciousness, it should be similar to the soul leaving the body. Although for beginners, It is also difficult for practitioners, but it is not impossible to control. At the same time, in a certain aspect, it can also provide a lot of help to your spiritual practice. And..."
"And?" Seeing that Baron suddenly hesitated to speak, Artolis became a little curious, so she stared at the other person and wanted to continue to listen to what he said.
"No, it's nothing." Baron seemed to know something secret but was unwilling to reveal it. He just chose to avoid it after catching Atoris's gaze.
"In short, that's it. Among the people I know well, you and Gawain are the only ones who can achieve dual consciousness in theory. And Gawain's state is obvious to all. I'm afraid he can't easily distract his consciousness to help me, so I The candidate has been decided on you." After saying this, Barong pursed his lips and smiled, then patted Artolis on the shoulder and stood up.
"It happened suddenly. It's because I didn't have time to explain all this to Selese. If you feel that the two-part consciousness is difficult for you to control, don't force it. I will let Selese send you out. After all, this is just my trial. , and I have no reason to force you to bear it with me."
Baron looked further away as he spoke. He didn't look sad or sighing, and Artolis also knew that Baron's character would not use such verbal stimulation to play the humble emotional card. When he said these words, he really had the consciousness of facing difficulties alone.
"Since it is a promise, we must do it, and it seems that controlling the two-part consciousness is not as difficult as imagined." After gradually becoming familiar with the two visions conveyed to her mind, Artolis patted her butt and got up from the ground. Climbed up.
She moved a few times in front of Barong to prove to him that she was not greatly affected, and she would live up to expectations and give Barong the greatest help.
"It seems to be nothing serious." Seeing Artoris's energetic appearance, Baron raised his eyebrows.
"Judging from the conversation between us, this should be your first time trying dual consciousness. If you didn't have extraordinary mental power, you shouldn't have adapted so quickly." Baron said, looking away from Artolis. Kai, after thinking for a moment, fell back on her body.
"How long has it been since I entered the trial?"
"Huh?" Artolis didn't understand why Baron suddenly asked this question, but thinking that maybe the other person didn't have any sense of time in the conscious space, Artolis didn't care about it and just replied truthfully.
"I think it would be the third day if you include today."
"Has it only been three days?" After hearing her answer, Artolis clearly saw Baron frown slightly.
"Do you think it should have been longer?"
"I think I seem to understand why you can adapt so quickly, but before that, maybe I should tell you something that you can't believe." At this point, Baron met Artoris and felt a little weird. Her gaze revealed a shocking fact to her.
"To be honest, I have spent one hundred and seventy-five years here since entering the trial."
"!!!" It wasn't that Artolis didn't believe Baron's explanation, but it was precisely because she believed too much that she was surprised by the words coming out of his mouth.
"It seems that the difference in the flow rate of time may have caused a large delay in the synchronization between your two consciousnesses, which is why the current pseudo-adaptation occurred." Baron analyzed, his expression also followed. It became serious.
Is there a difference in time flow rate? Combining what Baron said, Artolis also realized that the feeling conveyed by herself in reality at the same time was as if everything around her had stopped. Obviously not long ago, the two bodies were in sync, so it seems that what Baron said is correct. The time flow in this consciousness space may really be much faster than reality.
"Speaking of the time flow rate of the world, it is actually an abstract concept based on the changes of objects. In fact, if time is not defined, we can only see the state of entropy increase. If the world we are in now is not built with consciousness as the form space, then before we return to the main world, it will volatilize due to excessive acceleration of particles in the body caused by entropy increase." After thinking about it, after reading out his opinions, Baron suddenly showed a meaningful smile.
"Entropy reduction has not been touched, and there is no negative impact caused by entropy increase. Therefore, the benefits brought to us by the trial itself seem to have far exceeded my expectations."
"So, what is the content of the trial?" If Baron really spent one hundred and seventy-five years here, then what kind of trial would be so difficult? Thinking of this, Artolis It seems that I somewhat understand why there is such a big gap between the rank five experts and them. Maybe it is really related to the trial in front of me!
