Chapter 360 Prologue
"Xiao Lan, I'm here. If you're free, can you come over? I... I'll wait for you at the boundary monument of the plane... Teacher Cat, come back quickly..."
After a painful beating, Lin Lan, refreshed, was very happy that she could finally find Grandpa Xu, and when she was about to lock Lin Guang and Xiao Gu, a small white bird suddenly appeared in front of her. Shikigami, Natsume Takashi's voice came miraculously.
What's particularly cute is that this miraculous little white bird shikigami also comes with an emoticon pack. It was shy and shy at first, but later it suddenly became angry, which reminded me of Natsume Takashi's expression, which was very interesting.
Lin Lan remembered that when she left Natsume's plane, she didn't leave him any contact information.
It was a miracle plus fate that Natsume was able to contact her.
After measuring the distance, Lin Lan went to find Natsume first.
When she first arrived, she saw Natsume Takashi lecturing violently to a huge white fox-like monster kneeling in front of him.
"Teacher Miaomi, didn't you agree? After you come out, you have to be obedient. You ran away without authorization. The chaos is so big that I can't find you. What should I do!"
And that huge monster, probably tired of Natsume's nagging, was pressing his paws on his ears, with a displeased and depressed expression on his face. When he looked carefully, he could see the amusement and interest in his eyes, obviously , he was deliberately teasing Natsume.
Xia Mu noticed Lin Lan's arrival immediately. When she turned her head to see Lin Lan, she was surprised and surprised: "Ah~ Xiao Lan has grown up too!"
He said such a sentence intuitively.
Lin Lan's image has actually changed a lot...
You can tell from the height that Natsume Takashi used to look at her soul, and the angle of looking down must definitely exceed 45 degrees. Now, as long as you lower your head a little, you can meet her eyes.
Similarly, Natsume has also changed quite a bit. It is no longer a regular at home, but a streamlined white hunting suit, vaguely blessed with formations and runes, and there is a huge volume behind it, which is probably exclusive to him. magic weapon.
The peaceful breath that can soothe the sorrow of the soul is still there, but it is more calm and gentle, and the feeling of the whole spirit has become more mature.
Obviously, he's been through a lot too.
"Natsume has grown up too!"
After Lin Lan finished speaking, both spirits smiled in unison.
Mr. Cat couldn't see it anymore, he turned back into a fat lucky cat, and bumped into Natsume Takashi from behind.
Natsume Takashi bumped into Lin Lan unpreparedly.
Lin Lan didn't dodge either, and gave him a hug: "Long time no see!"
Natsume was relieved, and immediately hugged back and smiled, "Long time no see!"
After a brief hug, the two spirits separated quickly. Lin Lan found a bunch of snacks from the space and used them to entertain the foodie cat Manekimao. She chatted with Natsume: "Is there anything Guizhi can do with me?"
Natsume Takashi frowned, and a little embarrassed took out a palm-sized, delicate pyramid-like ornament.
Take a closer look, this pyramid-like ornament is composed of many different Rubik's cubes, which influence each other without interfering with each other, which is very strange.
That is, this Rubik's Cube gave Lin Lan a very bad feeling, as if it was full of resentment and tyranny.
Lin Lan subconsciously sent a little power of chaos to the Rubik's Cube: "Is this a special coordinate item?"
The chaos is too great, so in order to remember the position of the plane, the spirits usually use their own rules to mark the boundary markers of the plane and generate corresponding coordinate items.
This kind of coordinate item is usually only used as an exchange for information exchange items. After all, each plane, the spirit can only enter once, even if it is marked, it will have little effect except for communication.
Natsume nodded, with a shy expression on his face: "Yes, the relic left to me by my grandfather, when I fully mastered the rules of solution, the plane handed over to me, said yes, his unfulfilled last wish, grandpa means that when When I have the ability, I will go here to save his old friend."
Lin Lan understood: "Do you want me to take you to this coordinate?"
Natsume hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands: "No...not..."
Just like the shy and awkward boy back then.
Teacher Cat was buried in a big cake contentedly, and he didn't rush to complain: "Just kidding, his strength... is not bad for delivering food, saving souls? Thank God for not dragging you down! Meow~ It hurts..."
Without even thinking about it, Natsume gave the fat lucky cat who ruined his image a fist and a hammer, and then calmed down and explained: "No, I just left the plane, and I want to find a place to practice and improve my strength. to do this."
"It's just..." Natsume said shyly, "I just left the plane, and I didn't know where to go, so I did a fortune-telling. Because I was thinking about what my grandfather entrusted, the hexagram... showed, follow the guide, Good luck!"
"The leader I admit, the first thing I thought of was you, Xiaolan!"
"It's just an impulse, thinking that if I can contact you with Shikigami, I will travel with you... If... Actually, I didn't expect that I could really contact you. I was still thinking, if I contact you If not, I will go to the reincarnation plane to practice first!"
With the system given by Yan, he believes that entering the reincarnation plane will have more advantages.
Speaking of this, Natsume finally let go of his smile: "Xiao Lan, do you mind if I, a novice spirit who will slow down, travel and experience with you?"
"Although I'm a bit thick-skinned, in fact, I've probably been looking forward to this day. After you left, I have been working hard. Now, I can use my official spirit status to go anywhere. ?”
Lin Lan was puzzled: "A formal spirit?"
Taking a closer look, Natsume's triple blessing, which originally entwined him, also represents the power of rules of his forbidden spirit, has actually merged with his soul? !
He couldn't find a single flaw of the forbidden spirit in him!
"inherited?!"
Natsume nodded: "Yes, the plane gave me the inheritance of Onmyoji. I used my ability, as a human being, and after many years of experience, I officially left the plane."
Lin Lan: ...
Seeing another plane's own son, I feel complicated!
Indeed, the taboo spirit that has accepted the sacrifice of the spirit and appeared in the form of reproduction is not allowed to exist for the spirit, but it is actually nothing for the plane.
Perhaps, from the perspective of the plane, half-human, half-spirit like Natsume who accepts foreign investment and cultivates through local cultivation may be more liked by them...
If it is recognized by the plane, as a human soul, it is indeed a very normal and formal way of life promotion to formally obtain inheritance, practice, gain merit and belief, and when the ability is successful, breaking the void and jumping out of the plane.
Compared with the cultivation of the plane with all its strength, Natsume, a taboo spirit cultivated by foreign spirits and native creatures, may be cheaper and more effective...
But it also depends on the mood and thoughts of the plane. In fact, more planes directly destroy these taboo spirits, obtain the rules, and re-cultivate their own...
Lin Lan shook her head, unable to think about it any longer. If she continued to think about it, she always felt that she had to reshape her three views again, and doubted Lingsheng.
"You really are a very lucky spirit!"
This is true!
Lin Lan didn't know Xia Mu's experience, but since he was able to talk to her while standing next to the plane tablet, he knew that his spiritual life was definitely the winner of the taboo spirits, and he took the counterattack like a textbook template.
It is estimated that it is not easy for other spirits to copy.
"After that, I will teach you a lot!"
Lin Lan accepted without hesitation.
Being able to contact her suddenly when she was going to find Grandpa Xu, or relying on her own power to contact her through chaos, it shows that Natsume and her are really destined.
Because of this kind of transmission method that relies on chaos as a hub and is based on low-level plane power such as Yin Yang, it is not easy to contact her by coincidence in the chaos of the sky.
She herself represents Chaos, and Natsume is familiar with her, so sending messages to her in Chaos does not require much power.
It is absolutely impossible for other spirits to use this method of contact to communicate with other people in the chaos.
The chaos is huge. To lock a familiar spirit in the boundless chaos, the power of the rules is already so huge that it is difficult to estimate, not to mention the transmission of messages.
Unless there is a special, special power of rules, or a special contract, for example, love crystallization... and so on.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to contact the spirit in the chaos by relying on the power of its own rules.
Even if there is a special power of rules, the spirit you are looking for is in a plane where communication is prohibited (most of them are prohibited), so don't even think about contacting it.
Therefore, Lin Lan was very surprised that Natsume was so lucky to be able to contact her.
It would be nice to have another companion like Natsume.
Natsume hugged Mr. Cat, who squinted his eyes, and said together: "Please teach me a lot!"
With the addition of new companions, Lin Lan didn't delay any longer. First, he locked on the positions of his own Xiaogu and Lin Guang, and swiped gently in the chaos.
Chaos seemed interesting, suddenly condensed and circled, and a big round hole was split in the middle.
"Chaos teleportation space, I used it for the first time, I don't know how it works, I walked in, you count the time, I didn't send a message to stop you in 30 seconds, you just come here!"
After speaking, Lin Lan waved and walked in.
On the other side of the opening, because of the sudden space crack, the tense atmosphere stopped, and they began to guard each other.
Xiaogu was excited, Quack's body immediately became bigger, and several clones were separated, surrounding the exit, and defending the sudden space teleportation exit tightly.
snap~
The gap opened, and Lin Lan walked out, only to find that the surrounding area was surrounded by densely packed small bones.
After Xiaogu confirmed that Lin Lan had completely left the teleportation space, he immediately withdrew his avatar and threw himself into Lin Lan's arms: "Master, master, master..."
You are finally here, if you don't come again, I will be bullied to death!
Damn Lin Guang always deducts my rations!
Lin Lan happily hugged Xiao Gu, and said to the other side of the space: "Natsume, it's alright, come here quickly! Xiao Gu..."
Looking straight ahead, Lin Lan shut up.
It is really not a good time to reminisce about the past.
What catches the eye is a huge pyramid of planes...
This is the second group of planes that Lin Lan has seen...
The first one is the plane of reincarnation.
She always thought that, apart from the rules of reincarnation, it would be difficult to have any power of rules, be tolerant, and condense into a huge group of planes.
Usually, when planes meet, they can only be eroded and assimilated, and finally become a plane with distinct primary and secondary levels, such as the interstellar plane, the cultivation plane of the Three Thousand Worlds, or the magic plane.
It is very difficult to form an independent and harmonious group of planes...
The Pyramid Plane Group in front of them actually achieved it by virtue of strong restraints and binding restrictions.
That is, the plane group of this pyramid is very familiar and true.
Just now, in Natsume's hands, she saw the coordinate version, the scaled-down version...
In a blink of an eye, they saw the real version, which was so fateful.
The Pyramid plane group is very hierarchical, bottom-up, the level attribute of the plane is constantly upgraded, and it is formed through the accumulation and series of countless Rubik's cubes.
There are various types of Rubik's cubes, but Lin Lan, who is on the scene, can clearly see that a plane is sealed in each small grid of the Rubik's cube.
With the continuous rotation of the Rubik's Cube, the luck generated by the sealed plane is continuously sent to the highest single-sealed plane at the top of the pyramid.
Although the number of sealed planes cannot be compared with hundreds of millions of planes, there are still hundreds of thousands of them. In fact——
"uncanny workmanship!"
This was said at the same time by Lin Lan and Natsume who stepped out of the teleportation space with Mr. Cat in his arms.
Natsume:……
Didn't you say to find an easy place to forge first?
Why did you enter the hard mode of hell all of a sudden!
The cat teacher scratched his face, sweet paw, and said honestly: "When did Xiaolan train you, when did you have an easy mode? It's been too long. Have you forgotten the hell practice mode she gave you?"
Natsume blinked: "Did I say it? It hurts..."
Mr. Meow, who gave Natsume a paw, continued to lick the paw, and gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, I'm back to my senses, it's too out of place, stupid Natsume!"
"Xu~" Natsume came back to her senses, and saw that Lin Lan had already jumped on a specially arranged floating platform, the target was lying on the carved black sandalwood bench, wrapped In the black robe, there was a trembling spirit all over his body: "I'm coming!"
As Lin Lan swooped, the hood of the robe slipped off, revealing the black and white face, the white was his hair and face, the black was his pupils and lip color.
Even though Natsume tried his best, he could only take a quick glance at this terrifying spirit, but even with one glance, he could clearly see that, facing Lin Lan, that terrifying spirit, in its dark and exaggerated pupils, was emitting It is happy and gentle.
"It's good if you come." Xu just stroked Lin Lan's hair, then pushed her away, picked her up, looked at her, and then sat down gently on the side.
Originally, I wanted to teach her not to hit people casually, but after thinking about it, even if it didn't work, she would still do it next time, so I changed the subject: "Did you not hit that guy?"
The adulthood of the spirit of reincarnation, even if they are here, can be sensed.
As long as that guy is an adult, things will be easy here.
Lin Lan immediately looked disgusted: "Beat me!"
Although it was said that it was for Brother Hou, Xifu's father and the others, but she really didn't want to do tasks with that guy anymore, it was just looking for guilt!
"Where are Monkey Brother, Xifu's papa, and the others?"
Before Xu could answer, Luo Hu who was at the side said, "Little Chaos, I'm a little angry for ignoring me like this~"
Lin Guang had already led Natsume to the small floating platform, bought him a chair of the same nature as the bench on which Xu was lying, asked him to sit down, and brought him tea and snacks.
Two copies, one for Natsume and one for Miaomi.
It made Natsume feel a little cramped.
It's not that he's not used to being treated like this, but with so many powerful spirits around him, his ability to resist stress has been strengthened preferentially.
That's a lot, but it's actually not that many. Adding Lin Lan, it's only four.
Oh, and Xiaogu and Lin Guang...
six!
Of course Lin Lan saw it.
Xu, Luohu, and an unknown spirit stood in three diagonal positions, seemingly casually, but in fact they were probably on guard against each other.
With Luo Hu's impressive power attribute, she couldn't forget him: "But, I hate talking to your clone!"
Every time she saw it was not the real body, she wanted to destroy him, but she couldn't find the right owner.
Luo Hu shrugged: "I don't even know where my main body is, so I can't find my main body to talk to you."
"Hmph~" Lin Lan didn't believe a word and didn't bother to pay attention.
What she cared more about was that clear and cold spirit standing with Luo Hu.
Wearing a silver-gray cumbersome straight-leg long robe, with a long sword, and a straight waist, at first glance, he is an upright swordsman.
If it weren't for the sinful aura entrenched around him, directly blackening the surrounding chaos, comparable to the evil aura around Luo Hu, Lin Lan would really think so.
Sensing Lin Lan's gaze, the other party saluted generously with his sword: "This lady is the spirit of chaos who has long admired her name, and she is the spirit of evil!"
His every move is very regulated and upright. What is contrary to it is that following his actions, there is a very tempting and depraved breath that Ling can't refuse.
It seems that as long as you are not careful, you will indulge in it and magnify the dark side of your heart infinitely.
Natsume's face turned pale, and Teacher Cat's eyes turned red.
Fortunately, even if the defense of the small floating platform was activated, the golden light with merits and virtues purified all the sinful aura that came.
The spirit of evil?
"The leader of the fallen spirit?"
While Lin Lan was amazed, she casually condensed two Chaos Essence bracelets engraved with the Pure Heart Formation, and handed them to Natsume and Teacher Mao respectively.
Natsume looked at Xu with half-closed eyes, and put the bracelet on his hand, um... putting it on tremblingly.
He felt that Lin Lan, a friend named Xu, seemed to dislike him for being weak...
Xie Zhiling didn't expect Lin Lan to say such a thing, so he pondered for a while: "Before you became an adult, I was not the only leader. They liked the soul mate Yue Zhiling and Tyrant Spirit more, and they were at their disposal, but After you become an adult, they will rely on my spirit of rules to walk in the chaos, and I... somehow become the leader with the most right to speak."
The words were full of puzzlement and perplexity: "I thought it would take a long time to defeat Yue and Ju! It's a bit invincible."
Lin Lan was told by his confession that she couldn't find anything to say: "...you... are different from what I imagined! My name is Lin Lan."
"..." Nie Zhiling frowned: "I'm sorry, I... don't have a name, they all call me Nie Zhiling... So, do I still need a name? Are there any requirements for a name?"
Lin Lan: ...
This twisted straight!
What style is it.
This is really one of the leaders of the fallen spirits...!
She is more like a villain than he is!
Seeing Lin Lan staring wide-eyed and asking him for help, Xu felt inexplicably amused.
"Just call him evil, don't be too serious!"
The evil spirit suddenly realized: "That's right, you can just call me evil!"
Lin Lan: ...
Be suffocated.
Can't talk about the topic.
It's just that the spirit of evil didn't mind. It should be said that he didn't notice it at all. After answering Lin Lan's question and finding that Lin Lan had no intention of continuing the conversation, he continued to stand quietly, looking at him without blinking. The Pyramid Rubik's Cube plane group, no longer speak.
Lin Lan: ...
so awkward!
The corners of Xu's mouth were raised, Natsume and Teacher Mao covered their mouths, afraid of laughing out loud.
"Hahaha..." Luo Hu laughed loudly, "It's been a long time, Little Chaos, why are you still like this..."
bang...
Before he could say the following adjectives, Lin Lan directly frozen him.
In fact, she was more likely to use the power of chaos to destroy him directly, but thinking about Luo Hu's more and more attributes, she gave up.
The most important thing now is: "Xu, didn't you say that Brother Hou and the others are here too?"
Why is it not working?
Xu propped his chin and pointed to the huge pyramid plane group in front of him: "They all went to play inside."
But his eyes looked threateningly at Luo Hu who came out of the ice, and saw that Luo Hu had no intention of fighting back and finding fault, so he looked boredly towards the direction of the pyramid.
Play? !
Lin Guang finally found a chance to speak, and bowed slightly: "Master, can you give me the honor to explain this imprisoned Rubik's Cube Tower to you?"
After Lin Lan nodded, Lin Guang began to tell the origin of this imprisoned Rubik's Cube Tower.
"This is the earliest hometown of the Dao Spirit Clan that has newly joined the plane of reincarnation."
Natsume's eyes widened in shock.
The Spirit of Dao is not my grandfather's...
Realizing that his performance was exaggerated, he looked at Lin Lan with a little guilty conscience and felt relieved.
Because Lin Lan's expression was also very subtle, as if you were kidding me!
"The earliest generation of Dao spirits who really knew the reason had all dissipated or returned to their origin due to various reasons. The information pieced together based on the information known by the existing Dao spirits is just I know, for some unknown reason, the leader of the Dao Spirit expelled all the clansmen who violated his will from this resource-rich plane group."
"Although the expelled Dao spirits retreated to the Valley of Spirits, they still wanted to return to their hometown. It was just that the leading Dao spirits seemed to get into trouble with fallen spirits and were chased and killed by various difficulties, which led to them lingering on their last legs. The spirits of the Tao no longer have such ambitions. This coordinate map has become a gift for them to join the plane of reincarnation."
"There is another name here, called the Tower of Trials!"
"Whether it's a spirit, a spirit of a plane, or a plane...all living beings can come here for trials."
"There are two ways to test, one is called liberation, and the other is called strategy."
"Liberation is to accept the request of the plane within the Rubik's Cube, complete the main characters of the plane, and obtain enough power for the plane to break free from the shackles of the Rubik's Cube, in order to escape the control of the Rubik's Cube pyramid."
Just after finishing speaking, the Rubik's Cube plane in front of me changed. The Rubik's Cube of several levels suddenly rotated, and the Rubik's Cube lattice plane at the bottom level was successfully promoted to a higher level through the rotation. At the same time, there were also several Rubik's Cube planes. Turned down, became bleak.
The most frightening thing was that a square plane was squeezed out of the pyramid by the bottom layer, and in an instant, the entire plane was surrounded by the Rubik's Cube, absorbing all luck and turning into dust.
The strange thing is that there is no missing grid in the pyramid, and the place where it fell was automatically filled by a plane that came from nowhere, and it became a new Rubik's cube grid.
"The Rubik's Cube Pyramid divides the levels and income levels of the planes into ten levels from low to high. Except for the topmost plane, all other planes have to pay part of their income as tribute."
"Because of the contract, the Rubik's Cube at the lowest level, all the merits and beliefs it produces, except for the maintenance of the lowest plane, must all be paid to the plane of the upper level. If you are not careful, It’s just blown away.”
"In addition to low-profile operations, the ninth floor plane needs to pay [-]%, the eighth floor [-]%, until the fifth floor, only [-]% is required, and the eighth and ninth floors need to pay the least. [-]%."
"The farther you go, the less tribute the plane needs to bear, but the higher the lower tribute that can be intercepted."
"The ninth level can intercept the lower level, that is, one percent of the tenth level's tribute to the belief in luck, and so on. Two, until the watershed on the fifth floor, you can directly intercept 15.00%, and the eighth and ninth floors can intercept up to [-]%!"
"The remaining value of the plane turned into dust belongs to the plane above the ninth floor!"
"The side of the attack must bring the spirit of the plane, or the plane with the spirit of support, bet on everything in itself, pass the power assessment, and replace the pyramid in the pyramid by means of attack, assimilation, and erosion. The purpose of the plane is to obtain high-level status and enjoy tribute, and the purpose is to climb to the top."
"It doesn't matter if the strategy fails, you can erode and assimilate the plane of the same class, re-gather capital, and reach the top again."
After listening to Lin Guang's explanation, Lin Lan understood: "Planet selling gold nest, a large-scale gambling site!"
Lin Guang: ...
Master, what you understand and what I explained seem to be not the same thing.
