Above the Seven Towers

Xiao Chen and Li Jia sat motionlessly on both sides of the coffee table. On the coffee table was a thick large book, with a mysterious blue-black stream flowing between the cover and back cover of the big book. Xiao Chen leaned back in his chair and stared at Li Jia. Li Jia looked down and thought.

Several oil lamps in the room exacerbated this dull atmosphere. Only when the light and shadow generated by the flame swayed, did people realize that this was not a picture.

For a long time, Li Jia said: "I made up my mind."

Xiao Chendao: "You have to think clearly. After all, there is a big risk in it. I opened it when there was no foundation for concentration, which caused mental instability. Although you now have a foundation for concentration, the strong wind method The degree of matching with Dead Sea Shadows is unknown, and may be worse than the hanging feather method. Even if I preside over the ceremony, it may fail. "

"You have said that those of us in the information age have their own strengths in spirit. And I also have a bottle of the Elixir of Elixir that Celinda took from the treasure house at home." Li Jiadao.

"That's just my guess. After all, there are only two samples of me and Mao Kai." Xiao Chen said.

"Maybe more than two, are you sure Luo Ling didn't watch that day?" Li Jia said.

Xiao Chen scraped his chin with his finger and said, "No matter whether she has seen it or not, as long as she hasn't said it, I will assume that this has never happened. I believe she will make the best choice. The key issue is No matter what Luo Ling does, it won't make your risk smaller. "

"You guys are so troublesome, first seduce me with power, and then say a lot of nonsense about risk. Don't you know that making this choice is the hardest thing?"

"This is the same thing as the informed consent before the operation." Xiao Chen shrugged.

Li Jia waved his hand as if to shake away the entanglement in his heart: "Reading something or something is my only strength. I can only think that the book will not let me down."

"Mentality is good, I think we have been half successful." Xiao Chen smiled, "Then let's get started. You enter, I will come in later to preside over the ceremony."

Xiao Chen put his hand lightly on the big book, and the protective enchantment set by Morey quickly disappeared, revealing the true content of the sea shadow scroll. Xiao Chen made a please gesture and then leaned back on the back of the chair.

Li Jia first picked up a bottle of orange medicine from the table. According to Celinda, the value of this bottle of medicine can be bought in Wangdu. Without hesitation, he swallowed the potion, and a spicy and weird taste filled his mouth. After a while, he felt that his spirit was particularly exciting and his consciousness became more acute.

Li Jia determined that the potion was starting to work, slowly put his hand on the cover of the book, stood still for a while, and then slowly opened the pages, as if he was carrying a very heavy stone.

"Why there is a Chinese name on it." Li Jia said strangely when he saw the title page.

"Perhaps this is the most fundamental secret of this world." Xiao Chen answered.

Li Jia didn't say much, but turned another page. The book suddenly shined a strong color

————————————————————————

Li Jia opened his eyes and found himself in a tunnel.

The tunnel seems to be deep in the ground. The walls and ground are dry mud and gravel. The tunnel is two meters high and only about one and five meters wide, a bit like the ancient tomb Li Jia saw on TV. On the walls on both sides, a few torches illuminate the ground under his feet. This made him find that he seemed to be standing at a meeting point, with three forks extending in front of him.

These roads look very long, there is no fire shining in the deep part of the road, it is completely dark, and there is no idea where the end is.

Li Jia doesn't like this place, it is closed and dull, and there is a strange feeling mixed with fear, which constantly fiddles with his nerves. Although, this feeling seems a bit familiar

Knowing that he was in the illusion of thinking constructed by the sea shadow scroll, he still couldn't help but pinch his hand, it hurts, just like in the real world.

"Dull guy, how long will it take you to discover my existence?" Some familiar female voices sounded behind him.

Li Jia was taken aback, but immediately remembered, Xiao Chen said that there would be a calligraphy. He turned carefully, but was stunned by the sight in front of him.

He saw Celinda.

Celinda stood in the tunnel in the dress he gave her, her hands akimbo, looking at him with a smile. She seemed to have just bathed, her hair was still wet, loosely spread on her back, and there were some water droplets on her body that were adorned like a crystal on the fair body under the torch.

Li Jia looked at Celinda several times from top to bottom before stuttering and asked: "You, you, why are you here, and, put on this dress?"

Celinda tilted her head and leaned over to Li Jia, exuding a fresh and good smell. She leaned over and looked at Li Jia, showing a disdainful smile: "Yo, look, they sent another guy who is dissatisfied, is your sweetheart what I am now?"

"You're not Celinda, you, are you Shuling? But why did you become Celinda?"

"Not bad." Shu Ling straightened his body and pointed his finger at Li Jia's head. "Any image in your head may be what I am. Of course, the most likely appearance is that you think about it. The person, this is, well, a question of probability. "

"You, you mean, Selida like a country girl, has I been thinking about it?"

"Yes, you still like her who just took a shower. You are dirty. I like the word" dirty ", which describes you very accurately. Helping you to open up your biggest space of knowledge of the sea is to learn your head. New things in here. "Shu Ling smiled with her mouth covered.

"Are you having fun posing like this?" Li Jia asked awkwardly.

"I am a formless soul. For me, any form of existence is natural. It doesn't make sense to me to grow like this, or dress like that."

"But it makes sense to me," Li Jiadao said.

Shu Ling tilted her head and said, "Don't you think this dress is not good-looking?" It reached out and pinched the hem of the dress as if it were to pull it off.

"No, no." Li Jia put his hands desperately, and at the same time felt a rush of heat on his face, "I mean, it means you can become anyone, don't use this image. You can become ah, For example, Xiao Chen, do you know him? Or, Luo Ling, maybe you have seen her too? "

"The hypocritical humans must clearly pretend to look for something that they are eager to dream about." Shu Ling smiled evilly. This smile is expressed in the face of Celinda. It ’s not an exaggeration. “But I ’m going to disappoint you twice. The first question, it does n’t depend on me, nor on you. When you open the book, the sea shadow volume sets my appearance. , This is a part of your world, just like the tunnel you are in, you can gradually transform him, but you cannot simply turn it into another world. As for the second question, do n’t ask me about other users I cannot do anything. This is the most important rule set by the creator of this collection. "

"Creator? Who is the creator of this book?" Li Jia asked.

Shu Ling shook his head and said: "With your current strength, I can't tell you this."

"Is this also the rule set by the creator?"

"No." Shu Ling grinned, "I don't think you are qualified enough. One of my masters told me that the weak can't afford much. I think the creator's name will be a great burden on you."

"Okay, okay. Even a soul said I was weak." Li Jia asked, bowing his head in a frustrated manner, "So what are we doing now?"

"Look at your world and teach you how to become stronger or die in this world." Shuling glanced around with her hands behind her back, and then sighed: "What a vast and tortuous underground world."

"Can you see where those passages lead?"

"Of course, you can understand me as an advisor to help you shape this world. I naturally know a little about your world. If you compare this world to the roots of a towering tree, you are now just standing in the tree An ant at the root. The world illuminated by the torch in front of you is the spiritual power you can control, and those dark tunnels "Shuling pointed to the dark path," It is your huge subconscious. "

"What should I do?" Li Jia asked.

"Take a torch, go forward, and light up roads." Shu Ling said.

Li Jia took a torch from the wall and stood at the entrance of a tunnel. He tried to take a picture of it with the torch. He did not expect a strong wind to blow somewhere, with a screaming sound, he turned the torch in an instant Put out.

Li Jia heard this scream, but only felt a pain in her head. It seemed that there was a mess of thoughts rushing into her head. He exclaimed, "Ah! What the **** is this?"

"That gust of wind is the incarnation of all kinds of misunderstandings and negative thoughts in your subconscious mind. Be careful, it may also turn into other deadly existences to attack your spirit and shake your mind. But this torch is what you can Control the positive emotions, where the firelight is lit, they will naturally retreat. "Shu Ling sighed," you may seem harmless to humans and animals, but from this meditation space, you can see that your mind is So complicated and tortuous, your dark side is so huge. This makes your practice particularly dangerous. They will become traps, forks, and even monsters. I think you should think carefully about whether to continue. "

Li Jia was silent for a while, turned to face Shu Ling and said, "I know that I am not a person with good ideas, and I don't have a heart of a child. I have a lot of sad things in my heart, a lot of uneasy emotions, and various The idea of ​​resentment. No wonder these black-painted passages make me feel familiar, because they are the real me. "
