When Qingmu stepped down the steps of the altar, a familiar feeling as if he were going home suddenly rose in his heart. He stopped and looked down. Like the altar he saw last time, the altar was full of stones of different sizes.
He looked up at the sky again. There were still five suns in the sky, but the position seemed to have changed. He narrowed his eyes and found that four suns were fixed and neatly arranged in a rectangle. The position of only one sun has changed. It was just outside the rectangle, but now it has penetrated into four days and become the center of the rectangle.
These four suns existed after the altar of wind was started. So it's from ulakan? And this moving sun is the real sun here?
Although Aoki is not a physicist, he also knows that no matter how magical space, wormholes or ant nests, they can only shuttle through space and time by themselves, and it is impossible to run with stars. The two changes in the number of the sun are after the altar is started, so it is likely that it appears under the influence of spiritual power, that is, it is something in the spiritual world.
But he first ruled out the possibility of dreams.
No one can make such a dream. This is too big! Although it is impossible to judge how high the four Suns are, at least they can't be touched by his current spiritual power, even with the soul of wood.
If this is a dream, it means that this dream is much broader than the whole mental force field covering here.
From the scene after falling into the deep well of space-time, these Suns are outside the static area of space-time, but they will not be far away, or they may be at the edge of the static area of space-time, so their light can penetrate. But what is incomprehensible is that the starry sky seen in the static area of time and space should also be outside it, but visually, it feels that the sun is outside the starry sky.
Another possibility is illusion.
When starting the altar, the huge spiritual impact is likely to make people hallucinate.
The difference between hallucinations and dreams lies in the composition of space. Dreams depend on people's memory and need mental power to transfer memory to form space. Without memory, the dream space is nothingness. The conscious body will not get any perception in it, just like the ghost floating in the depths of the universe.
Hallucinations are different. They can come from memory. For example, the flash and chaotic combination of some memories make people don't know where they are. That is to say, hallucinations can be composed of some dreams, but they mostly come from external spiritual impact, that is, the incomplete space accidentally constructed by external spirit.
The concepts of dream and illusion are easily confused. The most important thing is whether the illusion in front of you comes from your memory itself. But at the same time, the two concepts can be interchanged. For example, when a person's consciousness enters other people's dreams or group dreams, he can see what does not exist in his memory, but this does not really exist in the real world in front of him. His consciousness will build a new memory in his brain and treat it as reality, which is an illusion. Even lucid dreamers sometimes find it difficult to tell whether they have entered a dream or just an illusion.
Aoki is a dreamless man. All the unreal events he experienced can be regarded as illusions, because they are not constructed by his own memory. But his spiritual power is strong enough to clearly see the boundary and integrity of spiritual space, so as to judge whether he has entered a dream. The only misjudgment was that in the pigsty cave in southern Yunnan, the Group real scene dream made by Zhenwu Kitano almost confused him, but did not trap him for too long.
At this moment, the five suns in the sky can no longer be explained by any known physical knowledge, nor do they meet the conditions for constructing dreams. But it lasted so long, and everyone who experienced it saw the same phenomenon, which was not like a broken illusion.
Aoki took back his sight and looked at the altar again. There was no discomfort in his eyes because he looked at the sun for a long time. Everything in the altar came into his eyes again, and the familiar feeling hit him again.
The last time he entered the altar, he had a strange feeling, but at that time, the huge moon was in the air. He had no time to think. He was only anxious to save petru and Mrs. Larry from the altar, and then rushed into the countercurrent waterfall with the itha savage.
In retrospect, that feeling is the same as now.
Aoki was not in a hurry and walked slowly step by step.
The feeling of familiarity became stronger and stronger. He blew his nose, took a deep breath and said to the crow on his head, "do you... Feel anything?"
"Quack..." the crow tilted his head and pondered for a moment, "it's like... Going home!"
Yes, that's the feeling!
The feeling of a wanderer returning home after many years of absence.
The style of his hometown may have been different from that of a wanderer when he left home. The paddies have become roads and the low houses have been replaced with buildings. However, no matter how they are changed, for a wanderer who leaves home, the flavor of his hometown will never change. As long as he is close to there, the tip of his nose can smell the fragrance of the long lost soil.
He enjoyed the feeling as he walked.
In a trance, he saw an ancient garden. Among the hidden flowers and trees, there were pavilions, pavilions, green tiles flying, and nine winding corridors, surrounded by a pool of clear water in the middle. There was an old willow and a thousand tender willows by the lake, hanging low on the water, like a jade girl dressing up.
There is another big tree in the garden, with strong trunk, deep roots and luxuriant leaves. Many purplish red fruits could be seen between the leaves, and a big black bird was hidden. It croaked and scared away a group of children who were about to climb under the tree.
From the main garden to the outside, it is full of mulberry trees and dense into a forest. Many peasant women, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, shuttle through the forest to pick young leaves. After picking mulberry leaves, the peasant woman went into the silkworm house and fed the mulberry leaves to the silkworm. The silkworm grew up, climbed the cocoon mountain, spun silk and cocooned, turned into a moth, flapped its wings and flew to the light.
Aoki was not sure whether it was a real illusion or whether some of his memories had been awakened. He wanted to see more clearly. As soon as he concentrated his thoughts, he saw those moths pouncing on the fire one by one. Each time they pounced on one, the wick like flame grew a little larger, and later became a raging flame. The fire soon spread and burned the whole garden.
Aoki felt that the fire burned into his brain and turned the garden and his brain into ashes.
He seemed to be standing on a piece of scorched gravel. Everything lost the trace of life and fell into the darkness of death. Only the willow tree by the pool is still swaying in the wind, showing a girl's shame on the water.
A gust of wind blew, and the illusion disappeared. In front of him, there was only a black altar and those black charcoal stones in the altar. However, he felt the warmth and palpitation of life in his arms.
He reached into the inner pocket of his windbreaker and felt for a piece of willow.
After so long in the static area of time and space, the wicker not only did not die, but there were several more leaf buds than before. In the sun, it flashed the tender yellow green that people wanted to put into their mouth.
Aoki suddenly said to himself, "maybe I know how to go home."
The crow croaked, and its claws grasped Aoki's hair tightly, as if afraid that he would leave it.
