If you overlook the entire No. 1 Tower area from a high altitude, you can see that it is closely nestled against Fengming Mountain, which is not very tall but stands as majestic as the bow of a ship. To the south is a fertile plain with an excellent view. , on the north side are countless high mountains and ridges in the Lianyun Mountains. Dangerous peaks and rapids can be seen everywhere. Of course, it is also an excellent place to hide and avoid danger!
As early as the day it was built, the superior geographical conditions destined Tower No. 1 to be the starting point of the entire Gallo City-State!
Today, more than three thousand years later, among the already-formed Guangming Pagoda Forest, Tower Area No. 1 still stands on the northernmost border of the Jialuo City-State, like an extremely loyal old commander, forever in the The difference between peace and war!
Although the No. 1 Tower Area is not covered in ice and snow all year round like the northern end of the Lianyun Mountains, it definitely has four distinct climates!
According to the experience of many years in the past, after the New Year holiday of the parliamentary calendar, Tower 1 District will soon experience more than one heavy snowfall, and the cold weather that can reach as low as ten degrees below zero will last for at least a month until After the Lunar New Year that has been passed down from the imperial era has passed, the temperature will gradually warm up and spring will arrive.
Plowing in spring and working in summer, harvesting in autumn and storing in winter!
This is not only a tradition that is older than the parliamentary calendar, but also a long-standing attribute of almost the entire human realm. It is also the reason why all human colleges place the Winter Festival near the Lunar New Year.
Of course, the concept of "season" is not consistent between different regions. It is mentioned in many textbooks - in the south of the two main continents, there is an invisible road that spans the farther south of Star Luo City-State. In the border waters, winter and summer are even completely opposite.
According to the explanation of magic creation, that invisible boundary is also the north-south dividing line of the "planet" under your feet. It is the rotation axis of this "planet" that supports the entire human realm. It is not like the real one. A top usually "dances" straight on a plane that revolves around the sun. Only during the year does the position of direct sunlight move alternately between the north and south dividing lines. Only in this way can the world have such wonderful seasonal changes!
It's just that for many people, these explanations are just "concepts" that they cannot understand personally. After all, before the Demon Sky broke the sky, almost all of the vast land that ran east-west in history was on the north side of the dividing line! After breaking into two pieces, the existence of the dome formation blocked the possibility of exploring the vast sea!
Therefore, in the minds of most people, summer is hot and winter is cold.
However, this winter in Tower 1 District seems particularly abnormal!
While we are waiting for the Lunar New Year, the weather in Tower 1 area goes from cold to warm like a moody child! But the precipitation is even more abundant than in previous years!
Since the beginning of the Chou month of the lunar calendar, there has not been a single heavy snowfall in Tower 1 area, but there have been more than a dozen even more unbearable "freezing rains"!
It’s almost the holidays again, but the gloomy clouds are still hanging overhead, and the weather shows no sign of returning to normal!
However, many people had to brave the bone-chilling north wind and walk as slowly as possible on the streets that were completely covered by a thick layer of ice, trying to buy New Year's goods as soon as possible!
In Fengming Mountain, which has long been covered by frost and ice, on a mountain path made of rotten leaves and ice cubes, a snow-white "hat" is slowly moving from far to near, thick and thick. The thick non-slip soles make a "squeaky" sound when stepped on!
Next to this "hat", four slender braids and bows tied with sapphire blue silk satin are still closely connected. The two beautiful mirror-image girls are still wearing crystal-like shoes, and the slender heels are deep with every step. Plunging into the slippery frozen soil, you need to exert precise force to walk normally, which is very inconvenient! But they still don't care at all!
The path was winding and winding, and it was about to reach the end. The house at the foot of the mountain was almost out of sight, but it started to rain again in the mountain!
The dripping raindrops soon condensed into ice particles and fell on countless ice branches, like countless white wax tails slowly stretching in the cold wind, and soon they were indistinguishable from the vast white Fengming Mountain. each other!
After all, as the owner of two Dharma God inheritances, Yu didn't need to think too much to understand the cause of this "freezing rain".
Like many winters, the cold monsoon will cross the entire Lianyun Mountains and rush into the plain at this time. It should continue to go south, but during this period, the plain is warming up abnormally. Earlier, The lowest temperature has risen above freezing!
When the strong cold monsoon from outside encounters the local warm and humid air, it will push downward like a wedge! Temperatures near the ground would plummet to below freezing, and warm, moist air would be quickly lifted up into the dark clouds that now hang overhead for many days.
In fact, the temperature above the clouds is still below the freezing point. When the ice crystals and snowflakes in the upper clouds fall into the obviously warm clouds, they will turn into "supercooled water droplets" whose temperature is below the freezing point but still maintains a liquid form. ".
At this time, the ground near the ground is still below the freezing point, so these "supercooled water droplets" will freeze quickly wherever they fall, "dropping water into ice"!
And in the majestic Fengming Mountain, the stagnation of warm and cold air is of course even more obvious! Compared with other places in the No. 1 Tower area, such "freezing rain" is certainly more frequent!
These thoughts are as cold as a machine, and "departure" is hidden behind them, but they are only glanced at indifferently, and then they pass by. In the heart that is as empty as a ruin, it cannot even be called "in the heart". thinking"!
The steps of him and his two sisters, Xiaosan and Xiaowu, did not slow down much, even though their clothes were also covered with ice particles, and even their snow-white "hats" were thicker!
The good news is that his Yuan Power finally began to recover a few days ago, and the low whistling sound in his ears disappeared suddenly like an hallucination. Although the Liu Yuan Vision was still extremely weak, with the return of the Black and White Yuan Power, it also Unsurprisingly, it's barely usable!
Not only that, his upper limit of Yuanli actually soared to over 6,000! All the energy channels in the body have been stretched a lot! Even now, he still feels "full"!
The Yuan Chakra behind the head has also regained its senses! In the scene pointed out by "Deliver", the thrilling central crack actually bends slightly towards the black side!
Or maybe the unknown layer of gray matter in the middle has dissipated a little, making it look even weaker! Even more overwhelmed...
However, these changes are actually inseparable from some kind of "calculation" of that indifferent image! It even replaced the computing power that Liuyuan Vision once "evolved"!
Even the tiny crack on the white half yuan wheel that was extremely difficult to distinguish but had indeed disappeared, "Deliver" pointed it out to him immediately!
Just like the layer of unknown substance that connects black and white, according to the data given by "Deliver", the gray color is more than 99% similar to the "third elemental power" in his body! The meaning is self-evident!
But "renunciation" has no meaning at all to give such a conclusion!
Its characteristic is extremely extreme objectivity and rationality! It’s a bunch of cold calculations and numbers! The parameters currently available are far from being able to describe this illusory existence. For things that cannot even be calculated with the most basic probabilities, "renunciation" never speaks! This may also be one of its few "personalities"...
In comparison, "Violence" is very quiet! Especially during the more than half a month since he was expelled from Jialuo Academy, apart from the bloody memories turning into droplets of boiling foam one after another, the "violence" itself had not changed at all, and Yuya had not moved at all. Dare to take the initiative to touch it!
For Yu, the waiting time of more than half a month is really extremely long! It was so long that he didn't want to think about anything during it, even if these memories were full of family affection!
Breakfast... lunch... dinner... all kinds of precious ingredients...
Tea tasting...nap...walking...meticulous care and companionship...
But when these trivial matters wandered around in the middle of the night, he suddenly felt very strange! There seems to be no trace of his existence!
When reason and calmness become more and more common and completely belong to "detachment", when pain and all its derivatives become more and more common and completely belong to "tyranny", he doesn't know what he has left! There is only death-like silence in my empty heart!
He was completely trapped in the chaos created by the void! I've been sleepy for more than ten days! The abyss of indifference and confusion reached its peak! Soak him day and night! It's impossible to even take a breath!
Fortunately, he has done that!
Although there is pain behind letting go that only he understands, it is the only thing he can do! He can finally feel more at ease...
After the black and white power was restored, he could finally walk out of the yard! So the "table" in my mind has a new "schedule"! There are also many traces left on the rocks on the top of Fengming Mountain after the black and white energy collapsed, although that extremely shocking move cannot be reproduced at all now!
Because his heart is empty!
The little "he" left has no so-called "state of mind" to rely on!
The dark memory of that night now seems to be the perfect nourishment for "detachment" and "violence"!
Even if you condense those memories into crystals and put them before your eyes! It soon shattered like a bubble!
What's more, he doesn't want to have any contact with any reflection at all...
I heard from the two sisters that the people on the bench had visited this mansion more than once, and stood in front of the door for a long time more than once... Now that the graduation ceremony for the third-year students in the elementary department has ended, those people should have returned. When they get home, perhaps after the Lunar New Year, they will gather one after another and rush to the frozen soil of the far north...
However, there are still many things that Yu can’t figure out!
He still couldn't decide how to get along with the world in the same way he decided that matter!
Looking back, he has experienced too many things in the more than two months since the magic circle practice class! His mind has grown too much! There are even some vicissitudes of life that can only be captured through the eyes of mother-in-law or Dean Ian!
But it's all useless!
After listening to Mr. Mingyi's words, he simply could not deny the destruction of something he believed in!
He had to admit that he was naive! There is a lot of common sense that he doesn’t know until now! For most of the time after losing his memory, he was actually a blank slate!
It was the world around him that influenced him! Carve incomparably warm imprints one stroke at a time on this white paper!
Even though he was isolated in the academy for two years, he never doubted the beauty of this world!
But now he finally knows that what he knows is just a very small corner!
The real world is actually pitch black! There are sores everywhere!
Even people like Mr. Naiichi and Speaker Gan! In the past hundred years, we can only tinker with it! To this day, the way of the law still seems to be a lofty ideal with a long road ahead! A beautiful fairy tale that is struggling to maintain its appearance!
Just like the sincerity he once believed in! Kind! There are also various virtues that have been praised by countless human beings throughout the ages!
Could it be that from the perspective of the entire world, the human heart is actually evil? !
Is it precisely because people's hearts are evil on a macro level that they yearn for the unattainable beauty so much? !
No wonder "Detachment" and "Volume" emitted such harsh sneers on that extremely cold stretcher!
Of course my mother-in-law and two sisters are kind! But the Nalan Yiren siblings and the Nalan family behind them are evil! The black market all over the world is even more evil!
Of course the small circle from which he had broken off was good! But those classmates who ridiculed, slandered, and isolated him, although the results did not really hurt him, their actions were evil!
He is still in a small corner of this vast world. Perhaps it is precisely because this corner is good that he can be good!
But what next?
Should he continue to huddle in a corner of the world? !
Or should I get out of here? !
Should he continue to pursue the last wish of Lord Dharma God? !
Or should I hang up that badge? !
Should he continue to be so empty? !
Or should we take the initiative to touch "detachment" and "tyranny" and try to assimilate them, or be assimilated by any of them? !
He still has no answer...
The path finally came to the last bend. All the surrounding trees had been cut down by Grandpa He to build nurseries, and it became a bare slope!
Grandpa He's small courtyard is still empty. Like his mother-in-law, he left Fengming Mountain more than half a month ago, but he has not come back until now...
The two small courtyards near the gate of the house are also empty. At least for now, neither the two deans nor Sister Wei'er will appear here...
But there was smoke coming from the two courtyards on the other side of the house! The sky has turned dark, and only a few vague figures can be seen. I don’t know who they are...
But he doesn’t have the energy to pay attention to these!
The cold raindrops were still falling gloomily, but this solitary and frozen mountain seemed to be burning with an extremely pale and strange fire, burning mercilessly, hunting towards him and this house!
