Yu
Chapter 677 Secrets of the Upper Dimensions
He Yun strode in, not caring about the wary or surprised looks from the others.
He walked to the stone table, reached out, and pulled out a book from the stack, a smile finally appearing on his face: "Journey to the West, not bad."
With that, He Yun turned to look at Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao wasn't quite sure what the senior was thinking, and casually replied, "I wanted to buy Dream of the Red Chamber, but I was afraid the kids wouldn't understand it."
He Yun put down the book, reached out and gently patted Zhang Songfu's shoulder, saying, "Good condition, didn't embarrass our Night Watch."
Zhang Songfu didn't know what expression to use to face He Yun. After all, the last time they met, this old man didn't say a few words, and left in such a hurry, running so fast that Zhang Songfu, a young man, couldn't even catch up...
He Yun just encouraged Zhang Songfu a little, then turned his gaze to Jiang Xiao, seemingly ignoring Hu Wei and his wife. He opened his mouth and asked, "Here specifically for us?"
Indeed, the books, daily necessities, and Star Beads on the table and ground all indicated that Jiang Xiao came prepared.
Seeing that Jiang Xiao didn't respond, He Yun walked towards the entrance and asked, "Did you find the exit?"
Jiang Xiao still wasn't sure about the old man's attitude, and said, "The days are long."
He Yun chuckled, revealing that expression for the second time, and jokingly cursed, "Quite the tough one."
Jiang Xiao asked, "Where are you going?"
He Yun turned his head slightly and said, "That depends on whether you can keep up."
With that, He Yun's figure disappeared into the tunnel.
Jiang Xiao and Hu Wei immediately chased after him.
Cang Lan was immediately stunned and turned to look at Zhang Songfu.
Zhang Songfu spread his hands awkwardly: "He's clearly pointing at Jiang Xiao, let your husband come back, he won't be able to catch up."
Cang Lan hurriedly chased out, and when she walked out of the entrance, she saw three dark figures speeding through the snow valley. He Yun, running in the lead, had already reached the bottom of the cliff and was climbing straight up.
That movement had already gone beyond the scope of climbing; it was simply "flying" with his hands!
He Yun casually grabbed a protruding rock, exerted force with his hand, and his body shot up more than 20 meters.
Moreover, his movements didn't stop, connecting smoothly and naturally. One hand grabbed a rock, and his body flew up another 20 meters...
Hu Wei was very familiar with the environment around his home. He had climbed the cliff at his doorstep thousands of times, but now, he was shocked to find that he couldn't climb as fast as the old man.
Jiang Xiao, on the other hand, was able to keep up, directly transforming into a crow and flying up.
When Hu Wei grabbed the edge of the cliff with one hand, exerted force, swung his body, leaped high, and landed heavily on the edge of the cliff, the two had already disappeared. There were some footprints on the ground though.
"Hu Wei!" His wife's voice echoed from the bottom of the valley, which was relatively easy to hear in the silent valley.
Hu Wei hesitated for a moment, then returned dejectedly.
In the snow forest, Jiang Xiao flew around the giant trees, chasing after the old man relentlessly, and couldn't help but "caw~ caw~" as he shouted.
Jiang Xiao had never chased an old man before, let alone such a fast old man...
Old man, put away your supernatural powers!
Show some respect for the laws of nature, okay?
Old age isn't a time for demonstrating physical strength!
At your age, you should be wearing slippers and walking your bird, why are you still practicing the 100-meter sprint...
A person and a crow sped through the snow forest, finally arriving in front of the beacon tower. He Yun's footsteps finally stopped, and he turned to look at Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief, finally stopping.
Jiang Xiao transformed into a human, cupped his fist slightly, and made an ancient gesture of respect: "Senior, aren't you going to pass on your skills to me, accept me as your closed-door disciple, and finally transmit your lifelong internal energy to me?"
He Yun, who had originally been smiling, froze slightly, his round face and round eyes suddenly stiffening.
"Hehe." Jiang Xiao smiled, the curve of the circle mask becoming more curved.
He Yun thought for a while, pointed to the ground, and said, "Then kowtow once."
Jiang Xiao: "......"
You're still the cheeky one!
He Yun said, "I don't have internal energy, but my fists and feet are pretty good, do you want to learn?"
Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, "I just want to find the exit of the snowy plain."
Since seeing this pioneering senior, Jiang Xiao had never been able to figure out the other party's routine. He gave everyone encouragement and praise, ignored Hu Wei and his wife, but glanced at Zhu Xiong and Yuanyuan, but only a glance.
From beginning to end, he hadn't expressed his attitude, and the old man didn't seem too surprised that Jiang Xiao had brought so many things.
He Yun also silently shook his head, his voice old: "Exit, there is, and there isn't."
Jiang Xiao's heart tightened. This old man had lived here for 19 years, so he must know many secrets of the upper snowy plain.
No matter what the other party's intention was, he had to ask about the things he was concerned about first!
Jiang Xiao hurriedly asked: "Is there an exit? Or is there no exit?"
"I think there is." He Yun said lightly, "At least there are space-time tunnels connecting the upper and lower layers. I say there isn't, because until now, I haven't found where that space-time tunnel is."
Every time Jiang Xiao came, the landing point was indeed different. Could it be a constantly moving tunnel?
Or... a hidden tunnel?
Jiang Xiao: "But the Holy Ruins in the lower dimension..."
He Yun nodded: "The Holy Ruins and the space-time tunnel are two different things. Maybe there is a space-time tunnel hidden in the Holy Ruins."
Jiang Xiao: "Two different things? Isn't the Holy Ruins the biggest space-time tunnel?"
He Yun shook his head and said, "In Earth terms, the Holy Ruins is more like a projection machine, projecting the creatures here into the lower dimension."
Jiang Xiao: ???
Jiang Xiao hurriedly said, "The White Ghosts clearly jumped out of the door, and they have flesh and blood, they are real physical bodies, and they can even mate and give birth to life."
He Yun looked at Jiang Xiao with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, and said, "So, you think that in the process of traveling through the space-time tunnel, certain factors weakened their strength and reduced them to the Bronze level."
Jiang Xiao: "This..."
He Yun waved his hand: "Don't worry, this view can be proven. You can fly, so wait for me to point you in the direction and the road, and you will see the projection equipment hanging high in the sky. Or, it's not a projection equipment, it's just that with my human knowledge and experience, I can only compare it to a projection equipment."
Jiang Xiao frowned slightly and said, "High in the sky?"
He Yun looked at the sky and said softly, "A place so high you can't imagine."
Jiang Xiao pursed his lips, noncommittal.
The Holy Ruins... is it really not a space-time tunnel? Is it really not a space gate?
Is it just that there is a space-time tunnel hidden in it, just like the space-time tunnels in the other corners of the lower dimension, connecting the upper and lower dimensions?
The White Ghosts that emerged from the Holy Ruins are not the White Ghosts that fell from the upper dimension to the lower dimension? But... projections?
So, when the Holy Ruins are destroyed, the projections are gone, and everything is gone? Will the lower alien dimension collapse?
Or, is the space-time tunnel hidden in the Holy Ruins the main tunnel?
Although the human speculation is wrong, the effect is the same. Once the main tunnel is destroyed, the lower dimension loses contact with the upper dimension, which will cause the space to collapse?
He Yun suddenly said, "Although there is no way back, there is a way forward. Just like the lower dimension leading to the upper dimension, the door to the top is fixed."
Jiang Xiao: ???
There's an upper layer? Is there another world!?
What does that mean?
He Yun looked around, picked up a branch at random, and drew an equilateral triangle in the snow.
At the top corner of the triangle, he drew a circle and said, "Earth."
He Yun gestured to the right side of the triangle and said, "Space Gate."
Jiang Xiao watched silently, without saying a word.
He Yun drew another circle at the lower right corner of the triangle and said, "Lower Dimension Alien Space."
The branch pointed to the bottom line of the triangle, and He Yun gestured: "Space-time tunnel, or what you call the Holy Ruins."
He Yun drew another circle at the lower left corner of the triangle: "Upper Dimension Alien Space."
Jiang Xiao's heart slowly rose. On the left side of the triangle, He Yun gestured: "Space-time tunnel, or Holy Ruins."
But this line already connected back to Earth!
He Yun re-traced the circle at the top corner, representing Earth, and said, "Alien Dimension World."
Jiang Xiao looked dazed, his expression well hidden by the mask. He asked, "You mean... Earth and the alien dimension world are overlapping?"
He Yun nodded and said, "In some ways."
Jiang Xiao: "What do you mean by... in some ways?"
He Yun said softly, "That is a primitive Earth, an Earth full of fantasy."
Jiang Xiao asked suspiciously, "Have you been there?"
He Yun nodded, with a sigh that seemed to carry infinite emotion: "That is a man-eating world. Everything you can see on Earth and in the alien dimension space, they all have there.
The difference is that there is no separation of alien dimension spaces, no clear boundaries to block them. They live on the same continent, surviving and constantly fighting each other."
Jiang Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed. A certain dimensional level of Earth? A planet truly full of Star Power and Star Beasts?
He Yun said, "I call it Other-Earth. You can understand it as: Another Earth, an alien dimension planet. What do you think of this name?"
Other-Earth?
Jiang Xiao wasn't very interested in the name, but asked, "If, as you said, the difficulty of Other-Earth returning to the upper dimension is the same as the upper dimension returning to the lower dimension, then you have been there, how did you come back?"
He Yun chuckled and shook his head, "How could I possibly come back..."
Jiang Xiao was slightly stunned.
He Yun's face gradually became serious, and he looked directly at Jiang Xiao and said, "Not long after you left, I found the burned snow forest, found the beacon tower, and also found this canyon.
I observed those soldiers for a long time. From their words, I heard a lot about you. I think I can be honest with you about some things."
Jiang Xiao remained silent, listening quietly.
He Yun reached out and pressed on Jiang Xiao's shoulder, and said, "I am the bait, what about you?"
Jiang Xiao: !!!
