Lin Jie's eyes moved along the bright and dazzling blade of the sword, all the way to the tip of the sword.

Ash-like snow fell gently on the sword and melted quickly.

ether?

As a folklorist who is often exposed to occultism, Lin Jie has certainly heard of this concept.

Ether, Aether, or Akasha.

They all refer to space and sky, the first basic element when creating the material world, and the fifth element except earth, wind, water, and fire, in which all things in the material phenomenon world exist.

Of course, this is its more mysterious explanation.

In ancient Greece, ether was a substance conceived by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. It was a hypothetical concept of matter in the history of physics. Ancient physicists used it to think about some physical phenomena.

Later scientists also had various explanations for the ether. Anyway, everything was superimposed, but later, with the development of science, the theory of ether was gradually denied.

Lin Jie didn't know much about these things. After all, he knew nine out of ten in science, so he didn't have much interest in it.

According to the current situation, what Bai Yin asked was mostly the mysterious philosophical concept.

However, probably not quite.

Lin Jie thought about it, and said: "This dreamland...is the ether?"

Ether is the fifth element, and at the same time the creator of the four basic elements. It is the root of everything, everywhere, and fills everything.

And the place he is now, judging from various strange things, is definitely not a dream created by himself, but a space that really exists but is different from the material world.

And space...isn't it the ether?

This gave Lin Jie a guess. Could it be that, in Azir, ether is not a pure philosophical concept, but a real energy, a "stream of consciousness"?

Wait, Azir!

Lin Jie was taken aback. The name of this piece of land was Azir, but it was just a transliteration of Chinese characters.

The real spelling is "Azure", that is, azure, which also means blue sky and blue sky, which coincides with the blue sky and upper atmosphere represented by ether!

This cannot be a coincidence.

Lin Jie muttered in his heart, and at the same time, a question that never bothered him suddenly came up—why did Xiao Hei let him travel to this world?

Obviously no one can answer the question in his mind.

Bai Yin smiled in surprise and said, "It seems that you know it very clearly."

"Forehead……"

Lin Jie decided to tell the truth, very tactfully said: "Actually, I'm not very clear..."

Bai Yin happily said: "Then let's go directly to the next step."

I really don't know!

Lin Jie shouted in his heart, very annoyed at his habitually foolish and ambiguous tone, but if he asked now, it would be embarrassing.

Baiyin looked at the corners of his mouth that moved slightly, secretly suppressed his sly smile, and continued solemnly: "The reason why you feel unclear about many things other than swordplay is not because Kendela's memory itself is fuzzy. , but with your current cognition, there is no way to understand it, so in order to avoid thinking confusion, these things that are beyond the scope are automatically blocked."

Such a smart memory...

Lin Jie was a little bit dumbfounded, it was the first time he heard that transferring files could automatically filter and block inharmonious content.

Bai Yin chuckled lightly, took a deep look at him, and said, "Ordinary people don't have this kind of ability. Knowledge, memory, things that are closely related to consciousness, when they flow from high ranks to low ranks, it's like a flood." , if the dam is not strong enough, it is easy to be directly washed away."

Lin Jie guessed it was Xiao Hei, but he didn't have such ability himself.

He was dumb, and then said quite speechlessly: "So if I want to get a complete memory, I must first understand what this memory is talking about?"

Isn't this the same as the chicken-and-egg problem? It's always an endless loop.

Bai Yin shook his head and said, "I only need a key..."

While speaking, she raised Lin Jie's sword hand slightly, and said, "Close your eyes and focus on the sword."

Lin Jie has actually guessed it, and what Bai Yin wants to teach him is the key——ether.

He couldn't understand Candela's memory because he was an ordinary person, and Candela...well, judging from his dreams and memories, it shouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as heaven and earth.

The only way to connect the two is to let Lin Jie also learn to understand the ether.

There is no more suitable key than this sword. Candela's soul merged into this sword and made a contract of allegiance to Lin Jie. The ether on this sword has no resistance for Lin Jie, and it is the easiest to invoke.

Lin Jie slowed down his breathing rhythm and closed his eyes according to his words.

It was pitch black in front of his eyes, but he could feel Baiyin moving aside, only the slender and soft hand was still covering the back of his hand.

In this state, his attention was naturally attracted by the cold hilt in his hand.

It's amazing, even if only the hilt is clearly visible, Lin Jie can still vaguely imagine that the complete long sword is pointing straight ahead at this moment, like an extension of an arm.

"Relax, sink your consciousness into the sword..."

Bai Yin said softly, and then instantly let go of her hand.

Lin Jie was still thinking about how to sink, but the next second Bai Yin's hand was loosened, he keenly felt the change in the weight of the sword body, the feeling of sinking instantly pulled his consciousness away.

She must have done it on purpose!

Bai Yin's chuckle was still in his ears, he had already "fallen", as if he stepped on the ground and fell into an invisible abyss vortex.

rumbling...

An indescribably majestic sound rang in my ears, gradually replacing the soft rustling of leaves blown by the wind and irises swaying.

Like the wind, like a torrent, the whole dream is breathing together.

"Shua!" When Lin Jie came back to his senses and opened his eyes again, the sword was still in his hand, the surroundings were still covered with snow and flowers, but all kinds of chaotic and rushing dark red tides were in front of him.

His vision is the vision of Kendela's remnant soul on the sword.

"Is this the ether?"

Baiyin smiled: "This is ether, but this vision is temporary, you need to conceive a space to store them first."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Like this dream for you?"

Bai Yin looked at him and said with a smile, "It's like this dream to me."

"and then?"

"Then I'll teach you how to use it..."

Lin Jie has been busy in this dream for an unknown period of time. He feels that if he has a system, his sword skills must be crazy now "+1+1+1...". As for the ether, he can only put them in his own Here, as soon as she opened her eyes, she heard the sound of the bedroom door handle turning.

The consciousness that was still a little vague suddenly woke up.

The door was opened!

Mo En will definitely knock on the door when he comes in, and now this one can tell that he is taller and taller, he is a man!

Thief!

After the layout of the second floor was changed, Lin Jie's bedroom was much smaller. The distance from the door to the bed was only two or three meters away. Now that the situation was urgent, he picked up the long sword beside the bed and rolled it on the spot. It was as sharp as a flame. The blade of the sword was accurately placed on the opponent's neck.

Naturally, the thief didn't react, and only after half a second did he turn pale with shock.

In the darkness, half of Lin Jie's face was reflected in the sword light. He squinted his eyes and looked at the intruder in "outlandish clothes" in front of him: "Robbery?"
