sword sentient beings

Chapter 556 River and Bridge

Swallowing up the pure vitality, the snake shadow that had been lying in hibernation became active, and half of its body suddenly straightened up, as if it had crossed a mountain before launching an attack.

However, even though it stands upright, it is still a shadow, stuck to the ground.

For a moment, Tang Zhao almost thought that the snake had come to life, rising from the plane of the shadow and becoming a real snake in the world.But when he calmed down, he realized that it was just swimming in the shadows underground, but it might be the optical dislocation formed by the light and shadow, which made him feel that this shadow was three-dimensional and real in an instant.

The snake swam away from where it was, and the gap on its head that was glowing with water remained in place. It grew longer and longer, and the sparkling water formed a river.

The crack in the ground was finally determined to be twelve feet long.

But this river is not twelve feet long, because from the perspective of people like Tang Zhao, this river does not flow from east to west, nor from north to south, but from top to bottom.

Yes, they seem to be standing on the top of a waterfall, overlooking the surging river roaring away like the Milky Way falling.

This waterfall, this river, is twelve feet wide!

However, the waterfall in the world will eventually fall on the plain ground. Where does the waterfall in the shadow fall?

They don't know, because what they see is only a shadow in the shape of a waterfall. The river, water light, and waterfall are all images composed of light and dark changes in the shadow.

It’s as if the wide shadow is the canvas, and the waterfall is a mirror map drawn by a painter who is proficient in the rules of perspective, a pattern that brings people endless imagination.

Looking at it, Tang Zhao felt that the shadow was an infinitely deep and infinite black hole world. Through the falling river, he saw the tip of the iceberg of the opposite world.

At this time, Xing Cang glanced at him sideways, and said, "This is Youshui."

Tang Zhao nodded to be taught, and secretly recalled in his heart: Youshui...

It seems that the river flowing into the shadow abyss in the legend is the only channel in this world to communicate with the world of shadows.

Someone suggested that if you really want to explore Shadow Abyss, you can sneak in from Youshui Diving.

Of course, this plan was too crazy, and it was rejected as soon as it was proposed.

Only the Jinwu who proposed the plan felt feasible.

Seeing the river fully unfolded, the bridge also appeared.

The shadow snake was right by the river, like a river-suppressing beast, suddenly it used its tail to penetrate deep into the river.

A twisted ribbon, thrown into the shadowy river.

In an instant, ripples appeared in the river of shadows, and the ripples turned into whirlpools.

A bridge rises over the river.

It is probably inaccurate to use rise, because the bridge is also a shadow, and the shadow rises from the shadow, and still does not leave the plane of the "shadow".

But it is still the kind of light and shadow transformation. Tang Zhao can see the feeling of "rising" from it. This is a masterpiece that cleverly uses the principle of perspective. Even if it is sketched on paper, it can still see a realistic three-dimensional sense.

The bridge drawn by this shadow is the Yinglang Bridge!

The bridge slanted across both banks of the river, one end was in front of their eyes, and the other end plunged into endless shadows, and the opposite bank could not be seen.

"Langqiao has been discovered, you can go in. You go over first, one by one."

Tu Fei pointed to the bridge, and said seriously to the team of Changfa Manor: "Don't be afraid when you go for the first time, and you will be fine if you cross over steadily. It stands to reason that I have already obtained the permission of Master Panying." But, those of us can go straight up the bridge without hindrance. But just in case, there may be a certain Mr. Yuanshi passing by, and he may have a look, or he may be interested in interrogating you."

"This possibility is very low, but I still want to make it clear to you. When you meet an adult you don't know, don't panic, don't be rude, and don't go up to please. Adults have different temperaments, and you don't know what to say or what to do. It's a taboo. No one can save you when you die!"

"When you meet an adult, stand upright. If he passes by, just pass by. If you stop the way to ask questions, answer what you ask. Don't act like a guilty conscience! We are all people from Wangliangshan, so we have the confidence Completely, I am not afraid at all. Just say it well, and it will be fine when the time comes."

Tang Zhao thought to himself: But... it seems that they are not all from our own family.

Tufei said that the possibility of encountering the Yingyuan messenger is very low, and he just reminded him just in case, but Tang Zhao felt a little hypocritical—he seemed to be very lucky.

He often encounters things that have only a small chance of happening.

"After passing, just stay on the bridge, wait for the big troops, and don't run around. Although it's only leading to the second level, it's not a place where you can run around. It's a shame that you were caught and killed by some bad-tempered manor owner. No one decides. But as long as you are on the bridge, you are all safe. Which one of you will go first? Xing Cang? Or Xing Qi?"

Tang Zhao looked at the bridge that was not in the same dimension as him no matter what, so he couldn't help being silent, and then looked at Xing Cang.

I heard that you once walked across the Yinglang Bridge, two steps for us?

Xing Cang sighed: "Old man, come first. I miss you so much. Goodbye to this bridge. The bridge is still the bridge of the past, but things have changed."

After making an exclamation that no one could understand, he took a step forward with his feet.

One step, stepping over the boundary between the world and the mountains!

Tang Zhao heard from Mr. Chen that there is a weapon called two-way foil.

This kind of weapon can break people from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, and from three-dimensional to two-dimensional.Of course, with Mr. Chen’s conditions, it is impossible to talk too much. He can’t even draw a sketch, and Tang Zhao can’t feel it intuitively.

But today, Tang Zhao saw a scene that can only be described as "hitting the two-way foil".

Xing Cang stepped on the "three-dimensional" bridge, the first step lost its color, the second step lost its shape, and the third step merged with the bridge, becoming a silhouette on the bridge.

In particular, this bridge has some three-dimensional perspective inside, so when Xing Cang stepped on the bridge, he didn't immediately become two-dimensional, but kept that three-dimensional effect, but it was slightly blurred, and as he moved forward, the blur became more and more blurred. He deepened until he truly became one with Yinglangqiao, and everyone suddenly realized that he was already a person from another world.

When he wanted to look again, he had already crossed the bridge and entered the secluded water where he didn't know where he fell.

This change, recalled carefully, has a strange sense of terror.

This is the first time Tang Zhao has seen this kind of spectacle, and it reminded him of those people in Bai Yujing who were dragged down the Shadow Abyss by the black shadows. At that time, they were described as: "Eternal life shall not be reborn".Now he actually wants to walk on the bridge leading to the world of shadows by himself, isn't this what is Hell without Door?
Tang Zhao still remembered his identity. Although it was his first time walking Yinglang Bridge, he had lived in Wangliang Mountain for many years, so he shouldn't make a fuss, so he forced himself to calm down and pursed his lips completely.

But the experienced white fox saw it, and said in a voice that only Tang Zhao could hear: "It's just the entrance of Tianwaitian. Wang Liang is not that capable of making his own ruled world, but just made the entrance to bluff people. You see What you see is not the old man's current appearance, but his projection here."

After careful consideration, Tang Zhao finally understood: the so-called Heaven Beyond Heaven is a small world that can only be created by a sword fairy or above.It’s just that the small world of the Sword Immortal Realm is far from being able to create independently and form a universe of its own. In fact, it is just a semi-independent small isolated space in the big world. In essence, it is similar to an empty magic cave, and may not be as complete as the empty magic cave.

Wangliang's strength is also at the level of Sword Immortal, and its Wangliang Mountain is also a similar existence. This Yinglang Bridge can be regarded as an entrance, but it behaves a little weirdly. When people enter, they go in, and they have completely reached the other side. a world.has not been dimensionally reduced.And this shadow can be regarded as a window. From the outside, it is the projection of the people inside. It looks strange because the window cast is relatively evil, and the image it shines on is strange.

In essence, it is the same as looking at a distorting mirror.

do you mean this?

Tang Zhao wasn't sure, but felt a little relieved.He was on the bridge next.With so many pairs of eyes watching, there was no room for him to hesitate.

One step, two steps.

The moment he stepped on the bridge, he felt that the world in front of him was fading rapidly, as if covered by a gray-white curtain.

Immediately afterwards, there was a crackling sound in my ears, as if a huge waterfall was falling in front of me, making a deafening roar.

In front of my eyes, countless lines in black, white, and gray rushed towards my face, like a heavy rain pouring down. I saw rain, raindrops, and rainlines entangled randomly. There are only these entangled lines in the world. , I can't tell what shape it is.Fortunately, apart from the dizzying colors in front of my eyes, I don't feel much in other parts of my body.

Tang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and walked steadily forward on the bridge, only to feel that he would sink a little after taking a step, and the ground under his feet seemed to be collapsing endlessly, all the way to the underworld.

But when he lowered his head a little, he saw that his feet were still stepping on the Yinglang Bridge firmly, and the surroundings were full of gray and white lights, and he couldn't distinguish the directions.

Now, we can only keep going.

After walking a few steps, I felt as if a huge shadow had passed by my side.

That's a...fish?

If the shadow is a fish, it is at least the Kun of the Northern Darkness. It is so huge that the shadow almost covers Tang Zhao's surroundings.

Terrified, Tang Zhao paused slightly, but the shadow disappeared after passing by, and there were still those messy lines in front of him.

Calm down, this may be the Shadow Abyss Envoy who just mentioned passing by, don't make a fuss at this time, unless it takes the initiative to find me, otherwise just pretend you didn't see it.

Thinking of this, Tang Zhao continued to walk, and felt another shadow passing by, this time it was a huge ape.

The shadow of the ape also flashed by.Tang Zhao was calm on the surface and cursed secretly in his heart: Didn't it mean that there is no one at ordinary times, at most only an emissary passes by occasionally?How come one after another?

Fortunately, it seemed that the road was not long. After walking a few steps, he had vaguely seen a not-so-bright exit in front of him.

At this moment, another shadow hits the face.This one shade is a few sizes smaller than the previous ones, but still huge enough.Because the features are not obvious, Tang Zhao can't tell what it is, it seems to be a bear, and it seems to be a cat.

Here it comes again, don't bother.

Tang Zhao had already turned his eyes away, just waiting for it to pass by.

however……

Sombra stopped suddenly.

Tang Zhao's heart sank, and he heard the voice of "Huh?" coming from next to his ear.

Immediately afterwards, a voice from Hui Bai's place said: "Who are you?"
