Lost Narrative Poetry

"It's not far away. In fact, it's already very fast. It's just that your current transformation is not complete enough..."

The girl in the white kimono sighed, stretched out her slender index finger and poked the forehead of this guy who suddenly showed a lazy posture.

"You are not born with immortality. It also takes time to change your concept of time, but you can actually make good use of your advantages. The life experience of that realm monster is very good and can help you save a lot of time..."

"That's how many seventeen years..." Xia Ran smiled dryly. It would be great if he could understand it in detail. He must watch it with the mentality of a bystander instead of being influenced by memory.

Memory is a very important thing. It determines why a person is the way he is. To be on the safe side, Xia Ran just lets himself process those unfamiliar memories like watching a movie or reading someone else's diary.

When normal people watch movies or read other people's diaries, even if they are affected or touched, they usually don't go crazy and feel that they are not themselves, but the person in the movie or diary.

But if you are completely immersed in it, it will be easy to not distinguish between yourself and others - when all the memories are like "one's" personal experience, compared with the huge records that span thousands of years, your own short life experience is really Can it take over?

"You need to take control of this yourself..."

The girl in kimono did not retract her finger and continued to poke the boy's face calmly.

"Your thinking is still correct. If you achieve success in the next stage, it will be comparable to the combined state of you and that realm monster. And the next stage will allow you to cross that threshold and reach the real place... "

"After you said that, my morale dropped..." Xia Ran sighed longly. In other words, if he climbs up the route opened by his idea, he still has two major realms to go before he wants to become a wanderer?

——What a joy!

"Anyway, there is no need to rush. You just need to follow the current pace. As I said before, we are not short of time..." The girl in white kimono had a gentle smile on her face.

"Eh? Are you leaving?" Xia Ran suddenly noticed some changes and subconsciously raised his head and asked.

"Well, yes, the child is about to wake up...so it's time for me to go back." She was always so gentle, so gentle that her eyes and tone could melt everything.

He was tired and gentle, but the ethereal and endless feeling deep in his pupils never disappeared.

Xia Ran hesitated for a moment, feeling that there were still many things he wanted to ask, but after thinking about it he gave up the idea, so he hesitated and said: "Then...should I say goodbye?"

"See you……"

She nodded slightly and said carefully, pronouncing the word "goodbye" very clearly, as if she was making a solemn agreement——

"But a word of advice."

"What?"

Xia Ran was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at the girl in white kimono.

“It is a necessary contradiction that the living cannot reach the First Cause.”

"Two Rituals" said here, he stopped and looked at him quietly: "I can show you the way, but the most critical key to achieve all this needs you to find it yourself... "

"..."

"..."

"I understand this." Xia Ran was silent for a while, and then nodded gently, as if there was some kind of light flashing in his eyes.

This was something she had told herself back then, but it sounded completely different to how it sounded now.

Probably because he didn't care too much at first, but now he has begun to appreciate the scenery at a certain height, entered a broader stage, and understands more clearly that without power, everything is just lies.

Before, I had not experienced the real scenery, and relying solely on imagination was inconceivable. I always subconsciously felt that tearing down a house with my hands was like tearing apart cardboard. I could move in and out seven times among thousands of troops. He is already a strong man without any pressure...

Until I merged with Yakumo Purple inexplicably, I felt the power of the magic user in the realm, and achieved the second method with this, I can directly see the infinite parallel worlds, and truly feel that the tip of the iceberg of the infinite world is also infinite.

——He suddenly realized that he still had a narrow vision in the past.

Perhaps people are never willing to give in, and always want to get more. As their strength continues to grow and their horizons continue to broaden, Xia Ran also realizes this very deeply.

The girl in the white kimono said nothing more, but her figure disappeared suddenly, as if black disappearing in the morning glow, swaying like traces of night, disappearing alone.

It was as if she had never appeared. No one except Xia Ran herself noticed what had just happened.

Wow... Wow...

The girl with long black hair and straight hair could hear the sound of turning pages from time to time. It was not until several minutes later that she stopped slightly, frowned and looked at Xia Ran opposite: "What are you looking at?"

"You." Xia Ran answered matter-of-factly. Isn't this question obvious?

"..."

"..."

Faced with such a confident answer, the girl didn't know how to deal with it. She could only glare at Xia Ran angrily, and then looked in the direction of the door: "Are those strange people here to see you?"

"Probably, wait a moment, Yukinoshita-san, I'll go deal with this matter first..."

Xia Ran also turned his head and looked over, met everyone's eyes one by one, and said calmly.

The group of people found that the young Taoist seemed to have finally noticed their presence. They were instantly convinced that this dream was indeed unusual, and at the same time they felt greatly relieved.

The group of them had just been staring at each other for a long time when they found that the young Taoist just opened the door and walked in. He sat down on his own, said hello to the dignified girl, and then fell into a daze. While distracted.

It was only now, after the girl said something, that she suddenly turned her head to look at herself and the others.

This made everyone feel speechless for a while. I bet you, old man, could actually see us all the time. Then you just didn't want to pay attention to us? No matter what the reason is, if we are offended, why don't we just say something first?

"This senior..."

Murong Ziying took the initiative to step forward, bowed her hands, and spoke. Regardless of their expressions and different thoughts, the group behind him at least tacitly allowed him to negotiate and had no objections.

However, the young Taoist opposite did not pay attention to what he said and just closed his eyes gently.

When you don't look at this flower, this flower and you die together - so it's just an instant, and the whole world suddenly turns into darkness and nothingness.

…

…

At the same time, Xia Ran opened her eyes in reality, and everything around her had changed.

There were bright lights all around, and it was in a certain hall. He was still holding a cup of tea in his hand, as if he was meditating on something, and the expressionless head maid stood respectfully behind him.

It seems to be an extremely long time, but in fact, it only happened in a moment. From the time when the invasion report was received until now, it has not actually passed. Everything was just an out-of-body experience of consciousness and a dream within a dream.

At this time, a girl in a green dress was standing in front of him. After seeing him open his eyes, she came up and asked eagerly: "Teacher, do you want me to invite those people over?"

Judging from her excited appearance, she seemed to be like a little girl who couldn't wait to show off in front of her elders.

"Well... sure, but let Charlotte go with you."

Xia Ran thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and simply agreed.

Because the time that passed in the dream is not consistent with the time that actually passed, the moment the souls of those people were ejected from the dream world and returned to themselves, they might not remember what happened at all.

This is a very normal protective measure. After all, judging from their subjective feelings, it has been a very long period of time and they have received a lot of information. However, when the soul returned to the body, it was only for a very short moment, but it brought back the same huge information.

In order to prevent the instantaneous amount of data from being overloaded and burning the brain, it is inevitable to forget everything that has been experienced.

Probably even Liu Mengli would not be an exception, but with her unique talent, she should be able to realize what happened faster after waking up, and be able to actively dig out this huge record that was blocked by the subconscious.

Others need a certain amount of time to slowly recall some fragments and then recall more things... So before that, only subconscious feelings were probably retained.

For example, even though she cannot remember anything, Murong Ziying's current attitude and emotions towards the protagonist group will still be affected by her subconscious, and will not be as cold as she should have been at this stage in the original plot.

Because they are already friends and can trust each other.

It's just limited to a group of people like them. Now they are suddenly ejected from the dream and their souls return to reality. They have no memory of what happened before. They may even just think that they and others were distracted for a moment.

Therefore, I will probably act with hostility and suspicion towards Ouyang Mansion, thinking that someone in this manor is practicing some weird and evil method...

Xia Ran originally had his own ideas, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was just right for his cheap disciples to take action. Anyway, those people were in extremely poor condition now and consumed a lot of mental energy.

Although there are many people, there is no threat. Although Ouyang Mingzhu has a high level of cultivation, he does not have much experience in fighting. The only time he made a move was when he was successful in practicing a few years ago and killed a wealthy businessman in Chenzhou City——

The same person who had paid a huge price for her father's life.

In this case, the two sides could barely be regarded as a fair and just duel... After yawning, Xia Ran also felt an unusual amount of fatigue emerging from all parts of his body.

He didn't know how long it had been since he had such an experience. He put down the tea cup in his hand and stretched hard. He felt a little more comfortable, but then he was keenly aware of a change that was different from the past.

He closed his eyes and sensed it carefully. Through the search of the second method, he noticed some kind of extremely distant connection and echo, which was conceptually separated by an infinite distance. It was not another self, but it was some kind of imprint. thing.

Subconsciously recalling the scene in her mind where she poked her forehead with her long, white and slender index finger, Xia Ran vaguely understood that this might be something the kimono girl had done.

"Lingchi records?"

After confirming the mark, he began to ponder. Before the return of that world, Yin Li sent him an invitation letter, but in the end he did not sign it due to some concerns.

But now, it seems that she has uploaded her spiritual base to the Heroic Soul Seat... Could it be that she concluded that she would not be able to return to that world through normal means, so she created a more direct causal line for herself?

However, is it really possible for a little-known heroic spirit like myself to be summoned? Without legends or sacred relics, is it possible to rely on pure fate?

Xia Ran meditated seriously.
