Start with a photographic memory and build a memory palace

Chapter 298. Strange things must contain strange things.

……

"Give me a quiet place!"

Wu Wen gave the instructions to the high priest.

"Yes, Master!"

Seeing Wu Wen holding Cai Tong's hand, the high priest's face showed a different kind of smile. He quickly led Wu Wen to a secluded stone cave chamber.

Upon seeing Wu Wen enter with colored contact lenses, the High Priest thoughtfully said, "Master, please rest assured, I will personally protect you from outside and will not allow anyone to disturb you!"

Wu Wen nodded slightly, and just as he entered the secret room, he turned to Hua Nu and said, "You come in too!"

"Yes, young master!" Hua Nu trotted up to catch up.

in the secret room.

Wu Wen once again gained a deeper understanding of Cai Tong's physical condition.

He then taught her the 'Radiant Martial Arts' and simultaneously guided Cai Tong and Hua Nu in their training.

Although Cai Tong, who possesses "energy vision," is not as fast as Hua Nu in her cultivation of "All Thoughts Return to Flow," her cultivation efficiency is much higher.

The reason for this is because of her eyes!
Wu Wen made his observations over time.

For almost a month in a row.

Wu Wen gradually analyzed the real-time resolution of photon superposition states under "energy vision".

Photons reflected by an object do not follow a deterministic path, but exist in the form of a probability cloud, which simultaneously contains all possible states of motion.

Energy vision can directly capture this superposition state and present it as a colorful, hazy form.

The photons reflected by an object interact with everything in the surrounding environment, such as air molecules and electromagnetic fields, forming an entangled state.
This is quantum entanglement.

However, this quantum entangled state cannot be maintained indefinitely.

As it continues to diffuse outward, the photons reflected by the object lose coherence with what has just formed an entangled state in the environment, thus exiting the quantum entangled state.
This is quantum decoherence.

Because of quantum decoherence, the probability cloud of photons formed by the photons reflected from an object becomes increasingly thinner, while the remaining portion becomes increasingly clearer.

This is quantum collapse, which ultimately only presents one result.

—

Time passes day by day.

Before we knew it, another half month had passed.

"It happened!"

Wu Wen, who was engrossed in comprehending the quantum realm, suddenly realized that he had told Master Zhu Jiu when he left that he would be back in just a few days.

But judging by the current timeline, it's not just a few days that have passed, but almost several months!

I need to go back first!
"Hua Nu, Cai Tong, you two continue your cultivation. I will be away for a few days."

After informing the two of them, Wu Wen got up and left.

"Owner!"

Upon seeing Wu Wen emerge from the pass, the high priest hurriedly stepped forward.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Looking at the high priest blocking the way, Wu Wen questioned him.

The high priest replied, “The Great Khan came to see you several days ago, seemingly to report something important, but you have been in seclusion and I dared not let him disturb you.”

"Therefore, I told him to leave first, and I will inform you after you have passed through customs."

"Ashina Simo?"

Wu Wen nodded slightly. He was on his way back to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and would be passing through Dingxiang. He could stop there and listen to what the other man had to say.

"I see."

After responding, Wu Wen disappeared instantly.

Upon seeing this, the high priest was first taken aback, then marveled at the unpredictable power of his master.

The Royal Palace of Dingxiang City.

Wu Wen appeared directly in front of Ashina Simo, who was drinking at the table. Seeing his worried expression, Wu Wen asked, "What happened?"

Upon hearing Wu Wen's voice, Ashina Simo immediately raised his head, saw him, put down his wine cup, and quickly went to greet him.

"Master, I'm so glad to finally meet you."

"Get to the point!" Wu Wen said calmly.

Ashina Simo quickly recounted: "Half a month ago, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang suddenly decided to personally lead an expedition against Goguryeo. He sent an envoy to instruct our Turks to prepare their troops and horses, awaiting His Majesty's arrival to join the expedition."

Upon hearing Ashina Simo say that Li Shimin was going to personally lead an expedition against Goguryeo, Wu Wen immediately recalled that Li Shimin had failed in his three previous expeditions, which could be considered a blemish on his otherwise illustrious life.

"Is this all you're going to tell me?" Wu Wen asked back.

Ashina Simo continued, "No!"

"Before setting out on the expedition, our Turkic people need to send a vanguard to Goryeo in advance to build roads through mountains and bridges over rivers, paving the way for the main army to pass through."

"But during this process, something strange happened."

"What's wrong?" Wu Wen asked.

Ashina Simo replied, "Just as the first vanguard was about to reach Rangpyeong, they suddenly disappeared without a trace."

"So I immediately sent a second vanguard team to investigate."

"But similarly, this vanguard team also suddenly disappeared."

"At first, my subordinates thought it was a Korean ambush that wiped out both of my vanguard teams."

"But when I sent out several more scout teams to investigate, I discovered that the two vanguard teams that disappeared had nothing to do with Goryeo."

"Instead, they encountered a very strange mountain on their way to Rangpyong."

"This mountain is shrouded in thick fog, and no one who goes in ever comes out again."

"In order to find out the mystery of this mountain, our Turkic people have sent nearly a thousand people to investigate, but not a single one of them has been able to come out of it."

"According to the news from the front, the mountain is actually not very big, and it can be bypassed in half a day. However, since it is on the only way to the expedition, if the problem is not solved, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble if the subsequent army passes through here."

Pyongyang, also known as Liaodong.

It was precisely because Goryeo forcibly occupied Pyongyang that Li Shimin had to personally lead an expedition against them.

Listening to Ashina Simo's story, Wu Wen couldn't help but become interested in the mountain.

As the saying goes, where there is something strange, there must be something extraordinary.

Wu Wen is now more interested in the strangest things.

“Alright, I’ll go there myself in a few days. I want to see what’s so special about that mountain,” Wu Wen said.

"Is there anything else?"

Ashina Simo shook his head: "That's all."

So Wu Wen left directly and returned to Chang'an.

We arrived at Zhujiazhuang.

"Ninth Master, I'm back!"

"You brat, didn't you say you were only going away for a few days? Why have you dragged this out for so long!"

Upon seeing Wu Wen, Master Zhu immediately laughed and scolded him.

"Something came up that delayed me!" Wu Wen smiled slightly.

After spending a few days with Ninth Master, Wu Wen left again.

Instead of going to the site of the Turkic sacrificial ceremony, he first went to the strange little mountain that Ashina Simo had told him about.

Standing at the foot of the mountain.

The mountain was shrouded in thick fog.

This fog was not only thick, but also clearly defined from the outside world, showing no intention of spreading outwards. It was as if a transparent cover was covering the fog on the mountain, preventing it from leaking out.

Looking at the thick fog on the mountain, Wu Wen's expression became serious.

Because in his eyes, the mist covering the mountain was not just water vapor, but also contained a large number of spores!
