Chapter 368 The Law of Deduction
So from a third-party perspective, Panlong City looks like this?
An ancient city looming on the plateau?
But when he observed it again, he found that the ancient city was sometimes gathered and sometimes scattered. It was occasionally clear, but most of the time it was very blurry, with only a rough outline.
He asked the mirror what was going on.
The mirror had only one explanation: "It's too big, and being big brings big difficulties. It requires an astonishing amount of energy, so it's hard to materialize. Moreover, although this city of the dead is spectacular, it must not be perfect yet."
"Perfect?"
"Each soul town has its own laws to abide by. The more complete the laws, the more successful the soul town is."
Laws? He Lingchuan silently recited these two words in his heart, and then asked it: "How can the soul town be complete?"
"Either it evolves slowly by itself, or with the help of some external forces." The mirror said, "Like me, I want to learn from and learn from this city of the dead; then it must have its own way of evolution."
Speaking of using external forces, He Lingchuan immediately thought of the things swallowed by the divine bone necklace several times.
It is either the cornerstone of the ancient immortal cave, or the mysterious medicine of the sky, or the remains of the ancient demon like Zhu Erniang.
In other words, the illusion of Panlong City in the big square pot is also trying to improve the rules and evolve itself?
Mirror asked him again: "Do you often enter the City of the Dead?"
He Lingchuan nodded: "When I sleep at night, I will enter the dream of the City of the Dead every now and then."
"Dream? Wow hahahaha - I said it was the land of souls, the land of souls!" Mirror laughed uncontrollably. If it could grow two hands, it should be laughing so hard that it slapped the table. "Which big fool would regard the land of souls as a dream! Oh, hey, do you want to make me laugh to death?"
He Lingchuan grinned at it and cracked his knuckles twice.
After a few breaths.
"Usually, your dream should be based on you." Mirror said sullenly, "You have been in the City of the Dead for so long, do you feel that it is based on you?"
He Lingchuan thought about it and shook his head.
He is just a part of it.
"But I can only go in when I'm asleep, why?"
"This is the rule set by the Soul Land. Usually, this is to prevent others from entering or snooping."
There are indeed many guys who covet the big square pot.
He Lingchuan has long wanted to ask: "What exactly is the Soul Land?"
"You know it from the name, right? The Soul Land is the home of those dead souls who are unwilling to die, most of which are natural. Most of the dead souls living in the Soul Land do not know that they are dead, and they still live and do things as they did before they died."
It paused: "The Soul Land does not exist in reality, nor does it belong to the underworld. It is a self-contained place and can be regarded as a shelter for the dead. But in any case, it is not a dream! It has nothing to do with your absurd and stupid dream!"
He Lingchuan remembered that he had read a book of strange stories in the Wenxuan Pavilion, which recorded a story:
A traveler encountered a wolf in the wilderness and fled to a small town in the valley following the light. Life here is peaceful and harmonious, and everyone has a smile on their face. The enthusiastic townspeople not only helped him fight off the wolves, but also provided him with food and lodging, and even a beautiful girl talked to him.
The man fell asleep in a sweet dream, and when he woke up the next day, he found himself sleeping on a big rock. If he turned over twice more, he would fall into the crack of the ground. There were weeds and wild trees all around, where was there any human habitation?
He hurriedly left the valley.
Later he learned that a volcano erupted in the area ten years ago, swallowing up the town at the foot of the mountain and more than a thousand lives.
He didn't know what he had encountered, and no one would believe him if he told it.
Some people heard his story and went to the valley to look for it, but to no avail.
The "ghost town" never appeared again.
Now, according to what the mirror said, this person may have entered a natural ghost town.
"Soul lands are also divided into natural and acquired?"
"Soul lands are occasionally generated between heaven and earth, mostly because too many people died in a short period of time, and the resentment is overwhelming; but this kind of soul land is very unstable, and it may disappear silently one day." The mirror explained, "The soul land that appears after birth is different, more stable, but it needs a carrier."
The carrier of the world in the mirror is undoubtedly the mirror; then what about the carrier of Panlong City?
It should be the Dafang Pot?
"Because of this, once the normal state there is broken, the resentment of the dead will suddenly erupt."
The mirror then asked him, "Hey wait a minute, did you also change the cause and effect there?"
He Lingchuan nodded of course. Reality and dreams were split by him, how could the cause and effect not change?
The mirror exclaimed: "Then what kind of chaos is the law of the City of the Dead, why hasn't it collapsed yet?"
"It's well-organized inside, and it's fine." He Lingchuan said unhappily, "It's almost the same as the real world. Unlike your mirror world, it's so awkward."
The mirror snorted twice: "It can be messed up by you like this without collapsing, which means it has a powerful source of energy. Oh, I envy you to death. But at the same time, it also needs a stronger causal force. Otherwise, once it collapses, even your soul will be buried in it and can't get out. Don't say I didn't remind you."
He Lingchuan took its warning very seriously: "In other words, the greater the impact I have on the City of the Dead, the more powerful causal force I need to find for it?"
"Not accurate, but I'll make do with it."
He Lingchuan nodded.
No wonder.
No wonder he was interrupted after entering the dream for the first two times, and had no dreams for a long time, until the God Bone Necklace swallowed the cornerstone of the Immortal Cave, and the real Panlong City opened to him.
Alas, even though he knew the concept of Soul Country, he was still used to the name "Coiling Dragon Dreamland".
It turns out that Dafang Hu gained the power of cause and effect from the outside world, which helped Panlong Dreamland perfect more laws so that it could withstand the changes that He Lingchuan brought to the entire dream world.
The deeper he is embedded in the dream, the more activities he has, and of course the greater the impact on the dream. According to the mirror, the Soul Country was supposed to remain unchanged, but because of him, Panlong's dream took on another dimension, which began to run counter to the real history.
This requires more and more powerful evolutionary power, otherwise the result will be that it cannot continue to run, ranging from being stuck to being collapsed.
The warning from the mirror is no joke.
It seems that from now on, he will have to think carefully about what he likes about the divine bone necklace and do everything possible to get it.
In addition, the mirror also mentioned that the Panlong Illusion is likely to have a powerful energy source.
What's going on?
Unfortunately, there is no answer to this question.
He could only return to reality and look at the mirror: "Then besides fulfilling your duty of protecting the heart, what else do you do?"
It was not easy for him to deal with this mirror. Why didn't he find it useful after conquering it?
"I can also grow in size and use it as a shield, just like General You did in the past!" Mirror promoted himself, "After being damaged, as long as it is replenished in time, it can slowly repair itself."
"By the way, I also have mirror reflection. If other people's attacks fall on the mirror or shield, as long as they are not magical, I can counterattack part of the force."
"The effects of force are reciprocal, why do we need to mention it specifically? That's all, you are somewhat useful." He Lingchuan asked it, "Where did those evil ghosts who obeyed the instructions come from?"
"They are the lonely ghosts that I took in after I woke up. There are still three left." Mirror said, "This world is not much better than it was two hundred years ago. There are new dead ghosts wandering everywhere. If I don't take them in, They will disappear in a few days.”
He Lingchuan hummed.
"By the way, even if I turn into a shield, my ability to capture souls is still there." Mirror added, "If my opponent stares at me, he may become confused."
"Okay." He Lingchuan picked it up in his hand and tried it. As expected, it had grown in size, from a round mirror to a round shield with a diameter of three feet. The surface was still bright enough to detect people, which made it easier to activate the soul-capturing ability. .
In fact, the volume becomes proportionally larger.
He Lingchuan waved it twice and felt that the quality and feel were quite satisfactory, and it was suitable for use as a one-handed shield. Now that his attack methods are becoming more and more abundant, he really needs one or two pieces of defensive equipment.
I have already purchased a shield in Panlong City, and now I have filled this gap in reality.
The only flaw is that there is an unsightly gap in the shield, which is the masterpiece of the Fusheng Sword.
"How can we mend this hole?"
"The more resentful souls I eat, the faster I can recover. Otherwise, I have to wait and repair it slowly." Jing Jing said, "If not, Xuan Jing will do, or Nightmare Qi will do."
"Nightmare Qi?" He Lingchuan heard a familiar term, as if he had heard it somewhere before?
Looking at his expression in the mirror, one knew that he knew nothing: "The spiritual energy of heaven and earth nourishes all things. Once it enters the body of a living being, it turns into nightmare energy, or nightmare force, which supports life, old age, illness, and death."
This statement is very simple, and He Lingchuan understands it instantly. For example, in his original world, everything needed sunlight to grow. Plants grew when exposed to sunlight. Cattle and sheep chewed plants to grow meat, which was eventually ingested by humans.
No matter how many circulation links and names there are, in the final analysis, it is "energy".
"Huh?" He finally remembered where he had heard this term: he and his father caught the enemy Xizuo in Xinhuang. The opponent claimed to be the disciple of the Shuangye Kingdom Master of the Bejia Kingdom, and was ordered to use the Dragon Punishment Pillar on the battlefield to collect Nightmare!
The nightmare energy collected by the Dragon Punishment Pillar was very strong, but the light it emitted could only be seen by the attendants and He Lingchuan.
The servant claimed to have had the "eyes of heaven" opened, and also said that the national master asked them to collect the nightmare energy and take it back in order to give him a good salvation and appease him.
"How did I hear that nightmare energy is the resentment, unwillingness and anger of the souls of the dead?"
The mirror chuckled: "Aha?"
"Hahahaha!" It laughed uncontrollably again, "Who the hell said that? It's really off the mark, it's so off the mark!"
He Lingchuan did not interrupt, and just when it was laughing vigorously, he said softly: "Shuangye National Master of Bejia Kingdom."
The mirror's laughter stopped abruptly.
"Is he the national advisor of Bega?"
It was silent for a moment and said weakly: "Maybe he has other intentions."
How could the dignified Imperial Master Bejia make such a low-level mistake?
