Chapter 3, please teach me the spells
It's not as big as you imagine, just because you don't know anything now, so you don't know how to control those people," Kunzhen said, "But it's okay, I can teach you."
It seems that Old Master Fa is quite an impressive individual, and the patched robe he wears should be his tool for showing off. However, he indicates that many things require further study before he can understand them. If Cheng Yun is willing to cooperate with him in the research, he will share the research results with Cheng Yun
699
Cheng Yun finally understood that this thing cannot be transferred, which relieved him. At least it reduced the possibility of the old legalist harming others for personal gain.
You are still quite inexperienced, aren't you? Why don't you take a look at your patched-up clothes before making grand statements
Cheng Yun became the research subject of Old Master Fa in this way.
Kun Zhen was at a loss for words
"Yes, I understand your point. I am not a saint either, but I have decided to help you here," Kun Zhen said calmly, giving him a slight smile. "If you could easily decide the life or death of someone unrelated to you, I believe the vast majority of people would choose to let that person live"
The time displayed on the phone is already in the evening. If there is no difference in the flow of time between this space and the outside world, after a while, Cheng Yan should call him to report the results.
Yes. The old master nodded and said, "I have just acquired the language of your world."
Cheng Yun put down his phone and, feeling somewhat awkward, looked at the old master. After a long pause, he said: "I apologize for the embarrassment. My younger sister is still quite young and at the tail end of her rebellious phase, so she doesn't quite understand things."
He asked, "What about your world?"
It only makes a slight difference whether it is horizontal or vertical
But unfortunately, it has always been 'asleep' in our world. Until it changed its position again, I lost it.
My name is Cheng Yun. Cheng Yun quickly said, "Master Spellcaster, may I ask what brings you here?"
Without waiting for Cheng Yun to speak, he continued, "Perhaps this matter is indeed not as easy as I said earlier, but you have also gained something from it. It can bring you a lot of richness beyond your imagination, even beyond mine."
"You have been moved." Kun Zhen stated with certainty
But once in this space, Lao Faye seemed to have temporarily lost the scroll. He demonstrated on the spot to Cheng Yun—floating up and reaching out to grab the scroll, only to have it abruptly disappear and reappear on the other side. Cheng Yun, on the other hand, could easily grasp the scroll with a simple reach of his hand.
His wisdom is beyond what Cheng Yun can imagine
How many minutes?
No, thank you.
Cheng Yun was taken aback and said, "Master Mage, please teach me your spells!"
Anju Hotel.
Then please go back. Cheng Yun's mind is in a mess.
Cheng Yun did not speak, but walked downstairs: "Master Mage, come down for a glass of water."
Where did you get it from? It can't be from my mind..." Cheng Yun suddenly froze, "Wait, the language of our world? Not the language of our country?"
No! Cheng Yun decisively denied it
For example, this space actually has no ground; it is merely that Cheng Yun is accustomed to stepping on the ground, so this space has fabricated a ground based on his perception. When the old master made him believe this fact, the "ground" suddenly vanished, and he began to fall, expending considerable effort to stand again. In fact, this space could completely lack the constraints of "space" for him; as long as he wishes, he can appear anywhere.
Thank you, you should go back now
Ah?
I neither know them nor am I a saint
Kun Zhen smiled and sat down without fussing over the details. Then he began to speak: "This is a temporal and spatial node, also known as a temporal and spatial junction, which is roughly equivalent to a transit station connecting various universes. It exists in every world, but not necessarily awakened. Here, awakening refers to becoming a 'transit station'. The vast majority of temporal and spatial nodes are dormant. Our world also has one. I once found it and stayed by its side for ten years, so I have some understanding of it."
It already exists, I am just the first one to arrive, but not the last. You should feel lucky, at least relatively lucky, that the first one you met is me, not someone else," Kunzhen said. "It is just a transit station. There will be a continuous stream of people coming here next. Some may be weaker than you, while others may have the ability to destroy your world. But what you are not sure about is whether each of them has a good temper."
You have many questions that require my answers
Yes, this probably requires an incredibly stringent coincidence
Cheng Yun fell silent; these words sounded too exaggerated.
Sorry, let me take a call first. Cheng Yun decisively took out his mobile phone and answered the call from Cheng Yan.
He reached out to touch the metal handrail, felt the softness of the carpet with his foot, then glanced at the rooms on the second floor, deep in thought, with a strange light flickering in his eyes
Yes
They will not be able to leave," Kun Zhen said, "Perhaps some will be trapped in the node space until they die, while others may find a way to enter your world from the node space during their long remaining years. You may have trouble then."
What's the use of this?
That shouldn't be a problem, have you made up your mind whether to go to Tsinghua or Peking University?
"No." Cheng Yan said softly, "I will post something on my Moments and Space, I will hang up first"
As he sat on the small sofa on the first floor, sipping warm water from a paper cup, he continued to observe everything within his line of sight
At this point, Cheng Yun suddenly widened his eyes and stared at him: "You... you are speaking Chinese now!"
The score has been checked. Cheng Yan's cold voice came through
Then I might as well give this thing to you. Do you know how to transfer this item?
The Old Master did not actually cross over using magic, but relied on a strange material to make a scroll. Now that scroll is floating above Cheng Yun's head, illuminated by a faint blue light. It was just that Cheng Yun had not looked up before, so he had not noticed it.
Our world! The old master slightly pursed his lips, looking very stylish. "In your words, perhaps we should be called mysterious civilization, magical civilization, witchcraft civilization, or energy civilization, supernatural civilization. I don't know how to describe it. In our world..."
"Um...," Cheng Yun was a bit stunned, then he said, "But I'm not a superhero. I can't bear such a big responsibility. At worst, I'll just close the door and give up this warehouse, okay?"
"Well, you are trying to intimidate me." Cheng Yun looked down upon this shift from persuasion to intimidation, "Moreover, this has nothing to do with you."
You said you were just here to take a look
After a long time, he had almost finished playing, so he checked the time on his phone and said to the old master, "It's been a while and I'm tired, let's go out and chat."
"Where were we just now?" Cheng Yun said awkwardly, "Please continue, sir."
Oh
However, this is not easy. The risks I bear are too great," Cheng Yun instinctively retorted.
I think you need my help. Kun Zhen was indifferent to his attitude and smiled.
"That's great! Amazing!" Cheng Yun exclaimed excitedly, "I just missed breaking 700 by one point. With this score, getting into Tsinghua or Peking University is definitely not a problem. Last year's top science student in the province only scored a little over 700, right?"
This is not only your responsibility, but also your opportunity. Kun Zhen withdrew his gaze, saying, "How many times have I wanted to seize this opportunity, yet have been unable to do so"
Just after making a phone call myself, this old wizard actually learned Chinese. Does that mean that wizards in that world do not have to endure the torment of the CET-4 and CET-6 exams
Cheng Yun listened in a daze; he was not the protagonist whose intelligence had been forcibly reduced by some system. Such a peculiar phenomenon was beyond his comprehension, no matter how he tried to understand it with his existing knowledge.
Um ... ...
At this moment, Cheng Yun realized that he had truly merged with this space. He also gradually came to understand that this might be an unshakable fact
Most people are like this at this age The old gentleman smiled gently
It has been proven that there is a difference in the flow of time between the two spaces. When he walked out of the space, the time displayed on his phone was 9:36. After returning to Earth and connecting to the internet, the phone time immediately synchronized to 9:39.
In our world, there exists a group of individuals who possess remarkable abilities, akin to your scientists, medical professionals, philosophers, and so forth. The old man, undeterred by having been interrupted earlier, continued speaking with his usual tone, stating, "I have searched for many words in the language of your world, and perhaps terms such as mage, sorcerer, or spellcaster should be used to describe our group..."
Kunzhen continued, "Almost no one knows the principle of its existence, how it was born. Given the vastness of the universe, its lifespan and uncertainty, almost no one can find it in the long river of time. There are also almost no people who can keep it awake, and most of the time it remains dormant until the world is exhausted. The probability of someone being nearby when it wakes up is even lower. I spent ten years researching and trying to activate it, but as you can see, I failed."
Cheng Yun tugged at the corner of his mouth
Everything seems to be laid bare before his eyes
The two individuals studied for two hours but were unable to determine how Cheng Yun should operate the space-time nodes. However, with just a few words, the old master completely overturned Cheng Yun's established understanding.
A busy tone came through the phone.
Ding ding ding ... ...
Cheng Yun couldn't help but tug at the corner of her mouth: "So I have merged with it?"
Kechengyun felt that he was special all over, especially when he emerged from the luminous body, allowing himself to understand that unknown language, and telling himself: he came from another world and was a spellcaster
The old master followed behind him as they descended
According to the old master, he arrived here but is unable to leave on his own. This is because the time-space node has merged with Cheng Yun, effectively acquiring consciousness, which exceeded his expectations. Now, he needs Cheng Yun's consciousness of the time-space node to learn how to operate it before he can be sent back. However, he is not in a hurry to leave; his purpose for coming here is to continue researching the time-space node and seek more wisdom. The current situation is even better, as the time-space node can actively cooperate with him.
This year's questions are of a lower difficulty level, Cheng Yan said
To merge with it is a very low probability, and you are so fortunate to encounter it in such a coincidence constructed by the endless universe and the long passage of time
Kun Zhen shook his head again, calmly gazing at him: "Some people will have to stay here for a while; perhaps some can go without food and drink, but there are others who cannot endure hunger and thirst. If you close the door, some will starve to death here."
Yes, I have acquired the language of this world from this world. The old master’s eyes sparkled with a strange light, affirming his inquiry, "From your country, from other countries, modern, ancient, still in use, and those that have been lost..."
I... I won't help, will I?" Cheng Yun asked again
I have now arrived at this place. From now on, whether I wish to leave here and return to my original world or continue on to a certain destination, I will need your assistance. Kun Zhen smiled politely at him and said, "At the same time, when another person is traversing time and space in a nearby world, if the distance is too far or their own abilities are insufficient, they will need to utilize the time-space nodes of this world as a transfer point. At that time, your help will be required."
He appears to be quite old, with hair that is completely white, and his pupils are slightly cloudy due to age. His face is kind, yet he has few wrinkles. He is dressed in a very simple cloth robe, which has about four or five patches on the front alone. He leans on a staff approximately 1.8 meters tall, as thick as a baby's arm, which is quite eye-catching due to the crystal ball the size of an apple embedded at the top of the staff
Fortunately, acceptance and understanding are two different matters
Hmm? Kun Zhen did not answer him, but instead narrowed his eyes slightly to scrutinize him. After a long while, he let out a helpless sigh and said, "You are truly a fortunate person!"
Apart from that, there seems to be nothing special
The old master used the term "game rules" to describe this phenomenon, as he temporarily could not comprehend the underlying principles
"May I ask if this token has flowed out from here?" Kun Zhen inquired
Thereafter, the old master began to explain to Cheng Yun about the concept of space-time nodes, but most of it consisted of theoretical knowledge, which were his previous research findings, lacking practical support
I am stating a fact to you. Kun Zhen looked at him calmly, "I have seen other opened space-time nodes, but I have only seen a space-time node fused with a certain being once. Theoretically, you will possess a lifespan equal to that of the space-time node, and then, through contact with the infinite worlds, as long as you wish, this length of time is sufficient for you to reach a height that is infinitely close to the concept of divinity in a broad sense. Therefore, in fact, your lifespan is likely to be longer than that of this universe.
You are mistaken, I do not need it
The streetlights outside and the food stalls, the dark city, the occasionally passing noisy cars, the internet café beside the door, the computers at the counter, the hanging lights above, the water dispenser
Soon, he placed the paper cup on the transparent coffee table and said: "It is evident that you are a material civilization, seemingly still in a relatively primitive stage. From the current observation, the development appears to be quite uniform."
He began to constantly speculate in his mind: If what this old man said is true, would he try to impose his ideas onto himself? Since he himself did not obtain the time node of "awakening," is he planning to seize his own? ... If that is the case, then he ... . ... Might as well just let him have it.
Kun Zhen was momentarily taken aback, then shook his head helplessly before turning around to point at the luminous object and said, "Don't you want to know what that is? Don't you want to know where this place is?"
Hmm?
A sudden ringing interrupted his words
Stepping out the door, the old master turned around, squinting his eyes to examine the door, and remarked, "It seems that the space-time node has formed an intriguing combination with this place"
I sensed the emergence of a space-time node, which is very close to my world, so I came to take a look," Kun Zhen said with a smile, then extended his hand and opened it, revealing a mini soap customized by a hotel, on which were inscribed four square characters.
After Kun Zhen introduced himself again in more detail, Cheng Yun began to reassess him
"I do not have it," Cheng Yun firmly denied, then sat down cross-legged, "Come, old man, let us speak slowly."
The old man, resembling a wanderer from another world, emanated an aura of wisdom and friendliness. If it were not for his patched shoes and robe, Cheng Yun would certainly not associate him with a vagabond
