Chapter 169: The Bottomless Hole
"A happy and ordinary life. If it weren't for that accident, I would have gone to Beijing to take the exam. Maybe I'd be on the imperial examination and I'd be the first to be a magistrate."
After Su Lin finished speaking, he looked at the other party, but this answer seemed not to satisfy Lu Zhuyu.
She turned to look at the stream and said to herself: "For a long time, I thought I was taking action to protect innocent people and save the people.
But one day, when I was killing a monk, I suddenly realized that I actually didn’t have such noble sentiments. When I was killing monsters, I didn’t feel anything. Only when I killed a monk would I feel a sense of pleasure, or freshness."
Lu Zhuyu turned his head and said seriously: "At that time, I suddenly figured out that what I was pursuing was to fulfill my master's promise. Although the promise had already passed the deadline and had breached the contract and could no longer be fulfilled, I kept repeating what I promised. Every time I killed a monk, I felt like I had fulfilled the promise for a moment.
I didn't feel that vividness in you."
"What have you promised to your master?" Su Lin said curiously.
"It's not worth mentioning, almost, no matter whether those monks are good or evil, I will kill these people."
"Then why didn't I kill Nam Zhixian and I?"
"I went through some things later, and the conditions were slightly relaxed."
"Oh, this doesn't sound like pursuit, it's more like an obsession."
Lu Zhuyu touched her chin and pondered for a while, and finally said, "It doesn't matter if a person is already a very painful thing, but if he doesn't even have any emotional rewards, it will be even more painful... Sometimes people need to be obsessed with it."
"Fortunately, I don't think it's anything."
"Huainan is much better than you. Although she is strange recently, I can feel that she has found what she is pursuing." Lu Zhuyu stood up from the stone and changed the subject, "When will you go to the deep pit?"
Su Lin was silent for a while, picked up a handful of stream water and washed his face, stood up and said, "Now."
"I guess you would say that, then I'll take you there, you won't recognize the way."
"I can do it alone, and the Heavenly Lord will take me there."
...
...
"I slept so well in the middle of the night, but I was woken up by you." Tianzun yawned and half-jokingly said.
"Does God also complain about being woken up when he sleeps? Is it because only human senses are left, so he becomes more and more like human?"
"Yes, the senses cannot be fought against by experience and wisdom." said the Heavenly Lord.
"When you say that, I feel that I still imagined you too strongly before."
"Disappointed, disillusioned," Tianzun sighed, "If you want to see the God in your inherent impression, you can hold some dangerous summoning rituals, and then you will be able to see the God in your mind.
Those guys are not like me. They all act like a lofty attitude, making you unable to withstand the pressure the moment you see them, and your spirit is on the verge of collapse. You will feel that you are an ant in front of them.
But those are just pseudo-gods, they are all a group of guys who are strong outside and do the middle. No matter how high their posture is, no matter how mysterious they say, no matter how much they look down on humans, they cannot change their true nature."
"What is your essence?"
"In terms of human words, I am the idealist, the order maintainer, the god who will never win, the desire for survival, the mediator, the strongest personality god, the god of shackles. If these titles are all said, it is a very boring thing, because what you humans desire is mystery and unknown.
But what humans desire is not just mystery and unknown. Mystery and unknown are just bait. What you really want is to explore the mystery and unknown. Just as primitive people worship and fear wind, rain, thunder and lightning, modern people are afraid of ghosts but are curious about ghosts. For hilarious molecules, the object of exploration has become quantum mechanics.
What humans desire is the answer behind the mystery, but it’s a pity, tsk tsk.”
Su Lin thought silently. Every time the Heavenly Lord said this, he would always remember the "truth" that the Heavenly Lord told him at the beginning - ignorance is happiness, and a cage is happiness.
"Okay, here, go in."
The two walked out of the woods and saw the quarry from afar.
Passing through the empty quarry and following the tunnel route I had walked, Su Lin returned to the altar with spiral steps and twelve huge square stone murals.
Standing at the edge of the deep pit in the center of the altar, Su Lin looked at the bottomless pit, hesitated for a moment, rushed forward suddenly, and went straight down.
The Heavenly Lord behind him also followed closely and jumped out of the deep pit with Su Lin.
Fall down, fall down.
Falling.
Falling.
There is no light source in this pit, and it is pitch black wherever you see it. The pit is deep and the bottomless. Su Lin can feel the oncoming wind. He has no other feelings except the wind.
In order to see things clearly in the darkness without light, Su Lin switched his perspective to the perspective realm. Except for the Heavenly Lord who was falling with him not far away, there were only solid rock walls in all directions.
The Heavenly Lord leaned toward the sky, spread his hands and fell in a flat position, as calm as if he was lying in the wind.
But Su Lin could not be like her, because he had to use the destruction and destruction of force the moment he landed, otherwise he and the Tianzun would fall into a pool of meat paste. So she had to hold the Tianzun's hand and stare at the bottom of the pit while it was falling.
Ten minutes passed, and the falling speed of his and Tianzun had already reached the limit. The wind's resistance and his own gravity reached a delicate balance, but he still did not see the bottom of the pit.
"According to the speed of the human body's free fall, the maximum speed is about 150 kilometers per hour, to 220 kilometers per hour. Due to personal reasons, this is estimated to have some ups and downs. According to the time we have come down, we should have fallen by 25,000 meters."
"What?"
The Heavenly Lord said loudly, the voice was blown away in the wind, so she took Su Lin's hand, approached the air, and shouted in her ear: "I said, we should have lost 25,000 meters."
Twenty-five thousand meters, this is no longer a normal speed. If the world of immortal cultivation is similar to that of the earth, then they have passed through the crust and are falling towards the mantle. The temperature alone can burn them all to ashes, but now, the temperature is normal.
Is this hole really so deep or is it influenced by some spells?
Su Lin adjusted his body posture and slowly moved in the air with the power of the wind, approaching the edge of the rock wall. He stretched out his hand to touch the rock wall, but he did not touch any concave and bumps, which was a very smooth plane!
Su Lin pressed his hand tightly against the rock wall and rubbed for thousands of meters, but the temperature of his palm did not rise at all. This proved that there was no real friction between his palm and the rock wall, and therefore no heat energy was generated.
It can be confirmed that this is not a normal deep pit, it is not just deep!
But soon, Su Lin found that the oncoming wind had become smaller.
What's going on?
