No one knows transmigration better than me!

Chapter 258 The Fog Is Not Fog

"what--"

A hoarse roar broke the silence of the long night.

But Lu Chuan's roar couldn't distort Ning Luo's will, and Ning Luo couldn't let Lu Chuan die in vain.

The reason why Lu Chuan was asked to do this experiment was just to confirm a conjecture.

Will the transaction of ghosts and gods be the reason for triggering the hunting of ghosts and gods?
The result of the experiment was as Ning Luo expected.

When Qiu Zhi lifted Lu Chuan's collar and stretched him towards the ghost with a human face and a tiger body, Bai Di was finally moved.

It turned away and first looked at Lu Chuan suspiciously.

Through the blue-green Dao Yun, Ning Luo couldn't see even a gleam of light in Baidi's eyes.

But just out of instinct, Baidi moved a little closer to Lu Chuan, and then took a few steps around.

Like jackals, tigers and leopards in the deep forest, sniffing prey that is pretending to be dead.

Lu Chuan's teeth shuddered, his roar stopped, and he dared not make a sound.

Even if he was fully matched in the later stage, he would not dare to confront the ghosts and gods in the night.

So when he stood in front of ghosts and gods who lacked strength, Lu Chuan had no choice but to play dead.

However, ghosts and gods don't like this.

The half-human, half-tiger ghost seemed to feel something.

It straightened up, and a strange light appeared in its pupils!
Seeing that the tiger's claws were about to fall down brazenly!

Swah——

The Qiuzhi broke through the air and dragged Lu Chuan back to the Holy Maiden Temple!

The black shadow rose violently, with many afterimages behind him, and rushed towards the dilapidated temple in an instant!

However, when the saintess statue glowed with a layer of holy brilliance, Bai Di couldn't get any further, so he had to retreat in embarrassment.

Instead, Lu Chuan calmed down.

Or it couldn't be said to be calm, but it was almost numb by Ning Luo's unexpected move.

Lu Chuan shrugged his head, and said in a low voice: "Can you tell me now, Brother Ning, you, you, what do you want to experiment?"

Ning Luo didn't answer.

He just stroked his chin and stared at the black mist thoughtfully, probably sorting out clues.

Lu Chuan had a bit of resentment and impatience on his expression, but he didn't have the nerve to continue asking.

After all, he knew that Ning Luo would answer sooner or later, and he was weak, so even if he was at a disadvantage this time, he was too embarrassed to ask questions arrogantly.

After a while, Ning Luo raised his head.

"I see."

"What do you know?"

Ning Luo chuckled lightly with relief: "Maybe I know Cang Ming's true face."

Lu Chuan: "?"

Cang Ming's true face?

The information gap was like a gap, making it impossible for Lu Chuan to understand what Ning Luo meant.

But Ning Luo didn't intend to be a riddler, simply said: "The reason why the ghosts and gods hunted you down is because you had a deal with the ghosts and gods."

Lu Chuan was startled, his expression becoming more and more confused.

Indeed, this is indeed fresh information, at least Lu Chuan has never heard of it before.

but.
Does this make any sense?

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "So you don't have to be afraid of being hunted by ghosts and gods? Can you drag it on?!"

Lu Chuan felt that he was approaching the truth.

But Ning Luo shook his index finger.

"more than."

"more than?"

Ning Luo looked at the black mist, smiled lightly and said, "What I care more about is the essence beneath its appearance."

"The actions of ghosts and gods in day and night follow two different sets of policies."

"But the essence of the two is not different. Whether it is a transaction in the gray fog or a hunt in the black fog, their purpose"

"It's all human desire."

"Preserve the principles of nature and destroy human desires."

These six characters come from Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. Although it is a Confucian school on the surface, it is actually the product of the combination of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and the fusion of politics and theology.

It means that if you want to be holy, you must suppress the expansion of selfish desires.

Lu Chuan was confused by what he heard, but Ning Luo didn't explain it in detail, he just said to himself: "From the ancient times of Cang Ming to the gray mist, and then to the black mist covering the world, the ghosts and gods of the five directions, or it can be said that the gods of the five directions , took a radically different approach to human desire."

"In the ancient Cangming, the gods of the five directions listened to the great wishes of all living beings and satisfied the desires of all people."

"But it caused the sky to corrupt, and the Five Realms to perish."

"The ghosts and gods of the five parties in the gray fog trade with you, replacing human desires with power."

"But the result will make you lose your five senses and gradually get lost."

"The ghosts and gods in the black mist chose to eliminate human desires and leave no roots of disaster."

"But in the end ghosts and gods will kill each other"

"Why do you think this is?"

Questions thrown.

Lu Chuan frowned into the word Chuan, looking puzzled.

That look is as outrageous as seeing Optimus Prime driving a Bumblebee in line at a gas station.

I talk to you about games, you talk to me about philosophy?
What does this make me answer? ? ?
As we all know, the reason why the ghosts and gods of the five directions kill each other is not because of Juan?

When there is no profit for the traverser, the ghosts and gods of the five parties always want to distinguish the superior and inferior, so they will fight among themselves in the second half of the script.

But according to what Ning Luo said, could there be something else hidden?
Lu Chuan was stunned for a while, then shook his head numbly: "I don't know."

Ning Luo strolled to the statue of the saint, played with the mountain of spirit beads, and said frankly: "At first I thought it was raising Gu, because ghosts and gods can also be regarded as ghosts that invade the sky, maybe the mastermind behind the scenes wants to cultivate One of the strongest monsters."

"But now I know, I was wrong."

"In that person's eyes, the five ghosts and gods are just a vacuum cleaner for harvesting garbage."

"Preserve the principles of nature and destroy human desires."

"When people's desires are destroyed, when all Cang Ming's desires are gathered at one point."

"What awaits the final winner will only be destruction."

Lu Chuan opened his mouth slightly.

At this point, he could no longer understand.

What's the matter?

What do you mean by this?
Ghosts and gods will die in the end, so there is a mastermind behind the script?

If so, we can't win
Is it not clear that this is the "game mechanism", the incarnation of the matrix in the game script, and the person who establishes and maintains the rules of the game?
Even if Ning Luo can really explore that step, what he will face is nothing more than a one-hit and instant plot kill.

So this inquiry is meaningless at all.

Of course, the premise of all this is that time travel is really just a game, and all of this is really just a game mechanism.

What if, no?
Unlike Lu Chuan, although Ning Luo didn't know what the intention of the Matrix was, he at least knew about God's Choice, and he also knew that in a certain place, someone could use it to live forever and gain power comparable to a god through time travel.

I know more about the strangeness of crossing.

If it wasn't the intent of the Matrix that made all this happen.

What is the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes.

The gray fog is the mirage of the old days, the illusion of the human heart.

The deceitful realm is the conjecture of Shinto and the creation of selfish desires.

This is information that Ning Luo already knew.

He already knew what a strange land was, but there was still a problem he hadn't solved, or in other words, never thought of solving it.

Since the paradox is the imagination of the mastermind behind the scenes, the fantasy
And why was it born?

Ning Luo's voice became softer and softer.

He stared at the statue of the saint and muttered to himself: "From the perspective of ghosts and gods' action plan, the ultimate goal of the delusion is to destroy all human desires. What about illusions?"

In other words, illusions and paradoxes are really all that Cang Ming has?
Most likely not.

From the first time he stepped into the fantasy dream, Ning Luo saw miners from different eras gathered together in a forge.

Ning Luo didn't pay attention at that time.

But now it seems that this is a clue that cannot be ignored.

An interesting question is, why are they the only ones chosen to enter the dream, while the other hard-working miners are just numb NPCs?

There is only one answer.

Because, this is a dream.

"The gods are the sustenance of human hope."

"Dreams are the extension of human desires."

"Think about it every day, dream about it at night."

"The reason why Chiqian and his ilk can enter the fantasy dream is precisely because their selfish desires are too inflated."

"But the purpose of existence here is not a cemetery for them to vent their desires."

Ning Luo's eyes flickered, and he thought of another important clue that he had already discovered.

The five-party gods in the fantasy dream and the five-party ghosts and gods in the delusion are not the same entity.

Although ghosts and gods come from someone's imagination of the five gods.

But when Ning Luo first heard the voice of God Lord Rushou, Lu Chuan made a deal with Baidi on the other side of Cangming.

This is enough to prove that the two are not one.

Ning Luo didn't care about it earlier, but now it seems that this is the key to connect everything together.

The dream king and the ghosts and gods in the paradox, the former satisfies the needs of all people, while the latter destroys the selfish desires of all beings.

The goals of the two are quite different.

It also means the opposite of fantasy and ghostland.

To put it more bluntly.
"So, the former is a dream, and the latter is a nightmare."

"Everything we have experienced is just a dream."

"And the purpose of this dream is for the Saintess to resist the Kuroshio."

All the messy clues were connected one after another, finally allowing Ning Luo to restore the whole picture of Cang Ming.

He has never seen the true face of Cang Ming with his own eyes, whether it is the mirage at the entrance of the Paradise, or the corruption seen in the fantasy dream, they are just the extension of human desire in the dream.

Everything is an exaggerated assumption.

That's why Cangming's social structure appears so bizarre.

As for the thick fog he saw.
Is that really fog?

I don't think so.

That is a mirror, a mirror that reflects people's hearts, selfish desires, and the Great Dao of the Underworld.

On both sides of the mirror are dreams and nightmares.

It is the infinitely expanding selfish desires of the villains of the underworld, and the weirdness of those selfish desires transformed by the divine way.

Only the five gods are the most special.

That's because gods don't exist.

Most of the living beings in the underworld don't know the truth, they only know the half-human, half-beast enshrined in the temple, so that image turned into a ghost in a strange world.

As for the actors under the leather cover of the five gods.

Perhaps, it is the five elders of Lingcun who have long lost their power to control the five elements.

This is the narrow room of the dream, sheltered by the only remaining statue of the saint, the last safe house.

"Where did the saint herself go?"

"Is this the only remaining statue of the saint?"

Ning Luo tapped on the statue of the saint, trying to pick it up.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to do so yet.

He didn't destroy it rudely. If the statue of the saint was really transformed by the saint, then Ning Luo would not be able to destroy it, and if he did, Cang Ming There is only one dead end left.

Furthermore, Ning Luo has no plans to do so yet.

Lu Chuan pursed his lips and looked at Ning Luo dumbly, wondering if he could speak to disturb her.

He couldn't keep up with Ning Luo's brain circuit.

But on the contrary, Ning Luo's expression now seems to have discovered some secret again.

All the clues are connected together.

Although Ning Luo has not been able to trace back what happened to Cang Ming in the past, he has a clear understanding of his own situation and the world he is in.

The truth of fantasy dreams, the truth of strange lands, the truth of spirit villages, the strange truth, the truth of ghosts and gods, the truth of gray mist.
Everything is clear.

There is only one last doubt.

If fantasy dreams are the extension of the desires of all beings in the dark world, they are their sweet dreams
Then why does the "Grey Abyss Battlefield" that the residents of Wucheng call exist?

Ning Luo didn't know if the real Cang Ming had the theory of the Gray Abyss Battlefield.

But at least he knew one thing, no matter what the purpose was, no one would regard the bloody battlefield as a so-called dream.

The gray abyss battlefield appeared in the dream, giving Ning Luo a strong sense of disobedience.

It also made Ning Luo enough to conclude that there must be the answer he wanted in that abyss of ash!
If you want to know what happened in the Underworld, and how the Kuroshio invaded, you only need to ask the saint herself, and everything will come to light.

That's why Ning Luo didn't rush to flex his muscles against the statue of the saint.

He just wanted to follow the clues and find out the end of the gray mist based on the known clues.

Winning or losing is not important, and life and death can be ignored.

The important thing is that Ning Luo has already deduced the answer, and now he only needs one verification, one result.

Under Lu Chuan's astonished gaze, Ning Luo sat down cross-legged and resumed his practice in silence.

Lu Chuan scratched his head, feeling that his footsteps could no longer keep up with Ning Luo's rhythm.

No, you already have the ability to defeat ghosts and gods, what else do you practice?
Could it be that you want to toughen up the game mechanics?

Good guy, even if it's not open, I'm afraid it's just a system loophole, right?
Lu Chuan scratched his head, the more confused he became, the more curious he became.

But even if he had the slightest clue, he had already asked about it.

But right now he doesn't know anything about Ning Luo's weird behavior, so how can he have the nerve to step forward and ask questions?
In desperation, Lu Chuan had no choice but to munch on the sacred fruit and practice cross-legged.

Overthinking is useless.

Anyway, when Ning Luo finds the final answer, he will share it with him if he thinks about it.

Instead of racking your brains and thinking hard, it's better to sit back and enjoy the success.

Until the long night draws light, and the day breaks.

When Lu Chuan opened his eyes again, Ning Luo could no longer be seen.

Lu Chuan walked out of the temple and looked up at the sun covered by gray mist. Although he could only vaguely see the outline, it was enough to declare that the dangerous night had passed.

It's just that Lu Chuan didn't know.

The dawn of Daoyun this time may be the last "sunrise" he experienced during this trip.

As for Ning Luo, he had already stepped into the Holy Palace of the Central Territory.

Ning Luo directly stepped into the Library Pavilion, flipping through the historical records of the Cangming Realm, but what he saw were all praises to the grand occasion of the Cangming, and there was no trace of sadness between the lines, and there was no record of the Gray Abyss Battlefield.

Ning Luo smiled instead of confusion.

Because in this way, it shows that everything is as he expected.

Ning Luo casually killed the King of Deception, turned around and stepped into the gray mist again.

He went to Wucheng to harvest a final round of spirit beads, sacrificed all of them, and turned them into his own spiritual foundation.

The biggest difference between the Underworld and other worlds is that there is no difference in the cultivation speed of the divine way here. As long as a sufficient amount of sacrifices can be paid, the cultivation of the divine way can increase instantly.

everything's ready.

Ning Luo put the Five Spirit Orbs into his bag, got up and set off on the journey.

The tedious and repetitive work of collecting ghosts and spirits and fragments of forbidden weapons can be done at any time.

But the opportunity to explore the truth must not be missed.

All the mysteries will be revealed at the end of this trip.

"Abyss Battlefield."

It is a land of calamity that no one has ever set foot on before, and it is also a forbidden place that others will never be able to touch. It is also the end of revealing Cang Ming's secrets, and it is also Ning Luo's goal!
No one else can go.

But he can go.

Lu Chuan said that in the late Cangming period, travelers can see the mirage of the ancient battlefield.

But even if it is close at hand, it is still out of reach.

The reason is not complicated, just because of the wrong way.

However, Ning Luo knew how to get there, because the Gray Abyss Battlefield had repeatedly appeared in the conversations of Wucheng residents.

Flowers are not flowers, and fog is not fog.

Since everything is a mirror image, Huang Liang has a dream.

If you want to go to the abyss, to the end of everything, of course you have to
From the dream, to the dream.
