Fall.

Fall again.

Keep falling.

"Bang--"

Wake up with a start.

Gu Shen opened his eyes and found himself standing in a vast wilderness. Grass clippings all over the sky were moving in the wind. Dark clouds pressed down the sky. There was a faint roar of thunder in the leaden clouds.

, the whole world is quiet and dead, like the impending doomsday.

here it is……

The memory emerged and stopped at the finger that Senior Sister Luo pointed out to me at the end.

"This is a dream created by a spiritual transcendent."

A familiar voice sounded.

Gu Shen turned his head in astonishment and saw the little white skirt that he had longed for. The hem of the skirt was blown up by the wind, revealing the girl's pink legs.

Seeing Gu Shen's stunned expression.

Chu Ling stroked a piece of long hair from his temples and asked with a smile: "Why, you don't want to see me?"

"No, no, how is it possible?!"

Gu Shen waved his hand quickly. He considered his words and said slowly: "I just never thought... I would meet you here."

He was a little sad.

If this is a dream that Luo Er imposed on himself, is everything now just his imagination?

"Although this is a dream, everything that happens will become your real memory." Chu Ling said seriously: "Reality and illusion are originally two worlds with blurred boundaries. No one can describe the spiritual consciousness that controls our bodies.

It cannot produce the exact entity and form...but it actually exists. And in such a dream, spiritual consciousness can be concretely manifested."

Gu Shen recalled his first encounter with Chu Ling.

That "0001" train... was that also a dream?

"As for why I appeared here...the specific reason, now is not the time to explain." Chu Ling said softly: "Gu Shen, you just need to remember that even if there is no [Deep Sea], I can still [Spirit] with you."

Link].So..."

"Whenever you need me, I will be there."

She looked at Gu Shen and said, "Definitely."

Gu Shen stared at the girl blankly. In this dream-like world, everything was so vast. The wilderness could not be seen. The sea of ​​leaves could drown boys and girls, and the dark clouds almost collapsed above their heads.

in this world.

A person is so small and lonely.

But with one more person, you are no longer small and lonely.

"hiss……"

Gu Shen felt a little headache and whispered: "I remember, the reason why I came here is because Senior Sister Luo wanted to show me something... What is that 'thing'?"

for this question.

Chu Ling just smiled and didn't reply.

Gu Shen realized that the answer to this question... needed to be revealed with his own hands. He reached out and grabbed a piece of whirling grass clippings. Everything here was very real. There were residual ice slag and frost chips on the blades. It looked like it was not yet complete.

thaw.

Rub vigorously.

The ice slag is crushed into water.

More and more grass clippings fly up, some break free from the frost and snow cover, and some stretch out their tender green buds. This gray and dry world that catches the eye gradually turns green under the cover of thunder, like a fairy tale.

A picture of color.

In the era of surging electronics, such scenery has long been invisible. Today's steel jungle is full of cold, rough building monsters. A new spring grass will soon be trampled and bent, and a brand-new piece of grass will be bent over.

The land will soon be uprooted... Even in undeveloped and barren areas, it is difficult to see large stretches of continuous wilderness.

As the picture expanded, the loneliness and dilapidation were swept away, the rumbling thunder became more intense, and there seemed to be an invisible tide pushing in from far and near——

Gu Shen seemed to see all living things resurrecting, the dry winter was shattered, spring was coming, countless leaves and grass were sweeping in, and the frost and snow were shaken away and shattered.

He adjusted his breathing subconsciously.

All sounds became clear, including his own breathing... Time seemed to slow down at this moment.

The invisible force guided Gu Shen to sit down and turned into a tiny spring grass in the wilderness. The moment he sat down, a thin layer of frost and snow condensed on his hair, but it was quickly blown away by the wind -

—

Lots of grass clippings were blown up.

But he stood still.

At this moment, there seemed to be many words injected into my mind, and it seemed to be countless continuous virtual images, broken lines, and smeared colors——

Accompanied by a roar from the dome.

Spring thunder sounded.

Information explodes in the mind.

The continuous drizzle fell, not very strongly, but it covered the entire wilderness. The falling strands of rain did not make people feel cold... but instead made people feel extremely warm.

This is a spring rain that brings the whole world out of the cold winter.

Grass clippings fell, landing on Gu Shen's brows, shoulders, and hair.

The young man forgot everything, and his breathing was as steady as a stone. In this dream, Gu Shen seemed to be having a deeper dream. His mental power was slowly increasing, and with every passing second, he felt at ease and stable.

The girl in a little white dress was beside him, smiling and watching quietly.

Countless grass clippings whizzed by and were hit by the rain. Only when they landed next to Chu Ling, they turned into broken numbers. This perfect real world, because of the girl's existence, had a small piece of inaccessible and untouchable grass.

Fantasy zone.

…

…

I don't know how much time has passed.

Gu Shen slowly opened his eyes, feeling the changes in himself.

He felt as if he had slept for a long, long time, and this dream world seemed to be real.

Because of the use of the Ruler of Truth, the fatigue from not having enough rest all night was completely wiped away at this moment, and Gu Shen's heart was now filled with positive emotions similar to "spring comes to life".

He finally understood what Senior Sister Luo said about the thing that could help him control extraordinary power.

This dream is more like a lecture.

There is no better way to teach than to be there... This entire dream world, from grass clippings to thunder, all living creatures are teaching you... how to breathe.

This is a breathing method that can only be understood but cannot be expressed.

"It's incredible."

Gu Shen's eyes became clearer and shining. He looked at Chu Ling, his eyes full of gratitude.

While sleeping, Gu Shen could feel that someone was always with him.

"This is the "Jingzhe" that Gu Changzhi left to the adjudication office." Chu Ling said softly: "After searching the five continents, there should be no breathing method more suitable for newcomers than "Jingzhe". As long as you master this breathing method, you can always

By tempering your spirit, you can greatly reduce the probability of losing control."

"Jingzhe..."

Gu Shen clenched his fist. He felt that there was a huge amount of power in his body. Now his spirit became extremely full and fertile, as if he had endless energy.

It was as if there was a thunderbolt hidden in his spine.

Just like the word "Jingzhe"!

"The only drawback is that the comprehension of "Jingzhe" is very, very, very... difficult."

Chu Ling used three extremes in a row, and at the same time looked at Gu Shen, his eyes a little complicated, and said: "The vast majority of people, even if they have the opportunity to come to this dream world, will not have the slightest resonance."

Gu Shen looked down at the grass clippings in his palm.

Is it difficult?

But I didn't seem to encounter any difficulties in my own enlightenment... Everything went so smoothly, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as smooth.

"You chose [Spiritual Link] because you were afraid that I would get into trouble?" Gu Shen smiled, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Chu Ling was noncommittal, "Yes, not entirely."

"If I don't enter this dream world... after you comprehend "The Waking of Insects", this dream will be over."
To be continued...
