Inner Demons

The news is a bit weird.

This thought suddenly came out of Li Yunxin’s mind when he entered the territory of the former Lie Country. Not the message itself, but the timing.

When his mind was unstable and his mood was slightly depressed because of the Red Lady, an informant happened to send in information he had obtained more than a month ago. This timing… seems to be a bit just right-if someone really did it on purpose.

It won’t be a pheasant problem. It was the informant’s problem-intentionally or not.

These are all trivial matters. Li Yunxin thinks that the biggest possibility is that Peng King is playing tricks. But if this method is used to lead him to this point, it means that the matter has not yet developed to the worst result… It seems that we can still talk about it.

With this idea, he walked a section of the road and entered the city of Shuanghu. It is said that Yu Meng and the others were entrapped by refugees and entered the city. Then Rong Jun sealed the city and began to investigate the hidden remnants of the previous dynasty. Things ended a few days ago and the city gate was reopened.

Li Yunxin thought that after entering the city, he would see the dilapidated weather, but what was eye-catching was the prosperity.

There is indeed Rong Jun patrolling the street, but the shops on both sides of the street are open. There are many civilians walking around, even beggar and hawkers. The faces of the doors of all the restaurants and tea shops that open are decorated with lights and festoons. People who don’t understand the situation think it’s a holiday.

He thinks that Rongguo’s military wants to use this method to stabilize the people’s minds as soon as possible-so that people can see that once the towns under Rongdi’s rule are naturalized, they will soon resume their prosperity. . It’s just that one or two black blood stains on the streets and lanes that have yet to be cleaned seem to remind people that this kind of prosperity is not easy.

He walked a dozen steps along the street, watching casually. If Yu Meng was still in this city, where would he be? If someone led him to come here deliberately, and plan to do something in this prosperous city.

Soon, I found some clues.

Someone was staring at him—the eyes stayed on him for more than three seconds, six times.

He immediately turned his face and found that the person observing him was standing on a street corner. Looks like a idler. Middle age person, short dress, plain appearance. When Li Yunxin’s eyes turned to him, he didn’t dodge.

Instead, he smiled slightly and walked over.

This person is interesting. Li Yunxin probed his Qi, but found that it was not a Demon nor a cultivator, but an ordinary person.

The man walked up to him in a dozen steps and saluted him: “I have seen the Dragon King.”

Li Yunxin thought for a while: “The people from Mu Nanju, or Freemason?”

“Freemason.” The visitor smiled slightly, “Dragon King bright vision like a torch.”

“So now I take refuge in Golden Peng?”

This person laughed again: “The Dragon King guessed wrong. I am from the Dragon King.”

Li Yunxin raised an eyebrow: “Oh? Which Dragon King?”

“In this world, besides you, where else is anyone worthy of the word Dragon King.” The visitor said solemnly, “We are indeed from the Dragon King, so we can temporarily obey the commander’s orders. The person in charge also has a very close relationship with the Dragon King——”

Li Yunxin sighed: “Don’t fool around with Profound Void. Say, who is in charge.”

“Dragon King, please raise your eyes and look up.” The man raised his hand, “The person in charge is waiting for you upstairs.”

Li Yunxin turned his face and looked in the direction he was pointing.

They stood and talked under a restaurant called “Hongtailou”. It is a three-story restaurant with octagonal cornices. Now there is someone sitting on the railing on the third floor-nodded laughed when he sees his gaze.

Li Yunxin’s eyes are slightly cold. He bowed his head in silence for a while, then turned and walked in.

Stepping on the wooden stairs, I went straight to the third floor and found that the whole floor was covered. The hall was empty, with only one person sitting at the table next to the window. There are a few side dishes and half a pot of residual wine on the table. It seems that they have been waiting for a while.

He looked at the man at the top of the stairs for a while, and walked over slowly. His expression was cold and his voice was solemn: “Li Chunfeng, now you are a Freemason again?”

Li Chunfeng stretched out his hand and caught another pot of wine from the air, and a glass came out and placed it opposite him , Turned to see Li Yunxin smiled and said: “They are my people. Not only them, but the Danqing Dao created by Liu Gongzan is also my person now. They still respect your name. Anyway, both are abandoned. Son, it’s still useful in my hands. You sit down and we can speak slowly.”

Li Yunxin walked to the table. He glanced over the food and drink, and said coldly: “Oh. I forgot. You have always had the ability to reuse waste-such as me and Shangguanyue.”

Li Chunfeng stopped smiling. He shook his head and let out a sigh of relief: “You are right to hate me. But your mother… Shangguanyue is just a pitiful person. The time has not come, and many things are hard to say. Now the time has come, you sit down-I I will tell you everything.”

Li Yunxin was silent for a while: “I know everything you want to say. There is no need to repeat the second time.”

“You understand It’s just a part.” Li Chunfeng looked at him, with strange rays of light in his eyes. If all prejudices and emotions are discarded… it should be a kind of light looking at the precious jade that I have worked hard to carve out.

“Now I tell you another part. About my origin. This part…you will be the first person in the world to know.”

Li Yunxin frowned. After thinking about it for two breaths, I finally looked at him: “Do you want to say that you are also from a world with airplanes, cannons and even interstellar battleship?”

“No.” Li Chunfeng looked at him,” It’s more complicated than this.”

“Okay. I listen to you.” Li Yunxin let out a sigh of relief and took a seat opposite him. He drew out a pot of Mu Nanchun from his sleeve and another cup. Pushing Li Chunfeng aside what he had prepared for him, first poured a glass of wine and drank it. Drink two more glasses, said solemnly: “You speak.”

The man across from him pushed the glass in front of him aside. After thinking for a while, he said: “You always thought that Xie Sheng is the one we want, but you are not.”

“You are wrong about this.”

“Xie Sheng , Is the person they are looking for. But what I want is not him, but you. In my case, Xie Sheng is the abandoned son. This has been very clear to me from the moment you were born. It is still the same today.”

“For more than ten years, I have been observing you. They thought I was observing you for them, but I was only for myself. I told them that you are a person whose temperament is uncertain, and I don’t know what they want That person still ran down from the star realm, so it takes more time to watch. Half of these words are true and half are false.”

Li Yunxin looked up at him: “Which are true and which are false?”

“It is not certain that your temperament is true. Because I gradually learned that you are a person, and there is nothing… the emotions of ordinary people. The rest of the rhetoric It’s just procrastinating that’s all.”

Li Yunxin smiled: “You want to tell me that you know me since I was born? I am curious how you saw it.”

“Because I used to be the same as you.” Li Chunfeng looked at him seriously, “You acted very well. Normal people can’t see it. But that’s what I used to be, I can see it.”

“So next you have to tell me, this is a big coincidence-it happened that someone who was cold and ruthless like me came into this world, and happened to do it many years later. A cold and ruthless person like me came out and clearly understood all my thoughts. Everything I did next was for my good?” Li Yunxin curled his lips and shook his head, “It happens that there is too much in one thing. Then it should be made up.”

Li Chunfeng was silent for a while, and suddenly said: “How do you know that I was originally a human?”

“It doesn’t matter.” Li Yunxin sneered,” It’s also a reason to be a spirit—then you are a spirit trustee?”

“Neither.” Li Chunfeng slowly raised his hand and stroked in midair. So a spindle-shaped thing appeared in the air. In this “spindle”, there are countless fluorescent dancing. Each one is extremely small, like dust.

“This is the big universe.” Li Yunxin was not surprised when he heard the word spit out of his mouth—if he said about his identity is one of the few he has ever said The truth.

Li Chunfeng also refers to the small dust in it: “This is the small universe. For example, the small universe of this World, the small universe of the world you came from. There are many such universes, just like these dust. They move and collide arbitrarily in the big universe. The collision encountered in this World is exactly the same thing.”

He said that was paused. But Li Yunxin didn’t ask questions, just poured another glass of wine for himself.

He continued: “Both sides mean nothingness. One side is nothingness created by absolute order-there is no randomness and no movement. So even the Universe Great Explosion will not happen. , Nothing exists.”

“On the other side is nothingness created by absolute chaos. Because of absolute chaos, all laws are invalid, and there is nothing.”

“The part in the middle-you can see the part where there are many small universes dancing-is the habitable zone between these two extremes. There is order, but there is also chaos. Chaos and randomness make the universe born and evolve . But the order in it ensures that there are certain rules to follow, and it will not collapse. In the words of your world or this World, the physical laws appear to be orderly at the macro level. But at the micro level, such as the quantum level, It appears to be disordered-of course this is still an inappropriate metaphor. Then this kind of place is called a livable zone.”

When Li Chunfeng said these words, it was a little like a dead curtain. But his expression tone is gentler than Shen Mu. The look he looked at Li Yunxin reminded the latter of the past. Once upon a time… as a child. When he taught him how to paint. Patient and gentle, ready to stop because of one of his problems and explain with more patience.

At that time, they were in their yard…There were still some mottled shadows on the ground.

Li Yunxin took a deep breath, don’t look away: “So what?”

“Between the absolute order world, the absolute chaos world, and the livable belt, There is no clear dividing line. It is gradual.” Li Chunfeng said softly, “The ones that are close to the order may be more’rules.’ If there is a universe nearby, maybe there are only strict laws in it, and there is very little randomness. Sexual existence-what kind of world looks like, we cannot infer.”

“As for the side of chaos, it is a universe that is more’chaotic’ than our this World or even the world you came from. .There are more laws that you can’t understand. Such a world you already know—it’s the universe that is colliding with the universe we are in.”

“There, Perhaps the so-called’biology’ has no established form. Everything exists in the form of energy. But because it has not been overly chaotic, it can still’exist’.”

“In the past, this universe, and you The universe that comes can be regarded as the relative rule world in the habitable zone. There are many… many, many such universes. There are also many, many, relatively chaotic worlds. The so-called habitable zone where the two are located, only occupies the entire large A very small part of the universe can even be said to be negligible. The graphic I made is just for your understanding.”

Li Chunfeng slowly said, “Is it understandable here?”

Li Yunxin let out a sigh of relief: “Don’t ask me in this tone. Now I am not that little child. I have never been.”

Li Chunfeng smiled tolerantly: “Then you understand. You are always smart. In this way, another thing is not difficult to understand-like all the world, order will eventually develop into disorder. For example, the collapse of a house or a broken glass of wine is entropy. The process of increasing.”

“The universe also follows this process—at first perhaps the entire universe is absolutely orderly. There is also nothing. But then chaos appears, so there is relative order world. Then there is a world like this in the habitable zone, and then there is a relatively chaotic world, and finally an absolute chaotic world.”

“This can be seen as a gradual erosion process. It is also In this kind of erosion, a world suitable for survival was born. However, the world suitable for survival has also become chaotic and unsuitable for survival due to erosion, and eventually leads to another kind of destruction. For example—”

“At first The world is a hockey puck. Later there was a fire burning outside. It was too ice inside and too hot outside. Only the small part where Ice and Fire touched, the temperature was just right. But the hockey puck will come more and more. The smaller it is, the entire universe will eventually become an absolutely chaotic world, where nothing exists. “Li Yunxin frowned, “You don’t need to be so long. This law also exists in our so-called small universes-starting from the Big Bang, the density of matter became thinner and then the birth of stellar planetary life, then the universe expanded and everything became too thin and eventually everything was destroyed -“

He sighed to look at Li Chunfeng: “I am not a native of this World. Can you say the point. “

Li Chunfeng laughed: “Good. The point is, I come from a world that was once destroyed like this. “

Li Yunxin was stunned: “You—”

“I have said many such worlds. Collision is happening all the time. Just like human history—the history of your world and the history of this World—the period of peaceful development is short, and the time of war and chaos occupies the overwhelming majority. A small universe that is safe and secure from being hit is actually a small probability event. Hundreds of millions of years, 1 billion years, tens of billions…It’s all a short time. The overwhelming majority world is colliding-so don’t think it is bad luck in this universe. This is just a normal event. “
