Under One Person, Mountain and Sea Painting Demon

"That kid named You is not simple!"

"Haha, it's not simple, but I'm not interested in him. This person looks too serious and too idle. He doesn't seem to have any purpose in doing things. I don't think he's very interesting."

Wang Zhenqiu replied casually.

"But if it weren't for this guy, this wouldn't be so easy to accomplish. I might even have to use 'Wu Shi San' (the alien gene potion in Mi Er's previous work, 'Da Ai Project', in which Wang Zhenqiu was the second male lead)."

He then changed the subject.

"So, I still owe him a favor. Next time I meet him, I'll introduce him to a girl, hehe."

Wang Zhenqiu smiled, then stepped on the accelerator and drove away...

……

……

This side of town.

After breakfast and chatting, Hong Bin began to learn the secret method from Grandpa Feng, while Fu Chen and Tang Yingjie stayed in the funeral shop to guard against any unexpected situations.

Youfang returned to the hotel. He still needed some time to rest and recover. At the same time, he had some thoughts in his mind that needed to be sorted out.

Just now, he suddenly remembered one thing, that is - compared with his memory, Hong Bin today seems to have changed a lot.

In the original comics, this guy should have been practicing Yang Fire and was a simpleton. Judging from his performance at the Luotian Dajiao, he should not be able to use "Yin Fire" and does not seem to have experienced such a big change.

He could guess that due to his appearance and interference, the outcome of this matter had changed, just like Tang Yingjie, who should have died from "Dan Shi", was still alive, and Fu Chen, who should have been practicing in Qingyang Palace, had gone down the mountain.

So, in this matter of Hong Bin, what exactly has changed due to my arrival, and is this change good or bad?

He didn't know and was a little curious.

But he was clear about one thing: from this moment on, Hong Bin was no longer the Hong Bin in the comics, and his life trajectory... might also change because of this!

At this time, Youfang remembered a sentence:

"A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can cause a tornado in Texas a month later."

This is the famous "butterfly effect".

And my arrival was like a butterfly flapping its wings for the world of "Under One Person". From the moment I "truly" stepped into the world of aliens, everything...

Maybe everything will change!

Bang bang!

At this moment, You Fang's eyes suddenly widened and he felt his heart beat violently. Then, bits and pieces of insights surged into his mind.

Under the guidance of this qi, he unconsciously crossed his legs and entered a state of meditation, with his eyelids gently closed. Just like that, he naturally entered into the mysterious state of "harmony between man and nature".

I do not know how long it has been……

The indescribable and inexplicable understanding in his heart seemed to condense into a ball, wrapping him up, and began to reveal itself bit by bit, like peeling off silk threads from a cocoon.

After a moment, You Fang only felt a flash before his eyes, and a series of familiar yet unfamiliar scenes suddenly enveloped him. His body trembled, revealing a look of surprise...

Chapter 54: The Third Fragment of the Painting: Ruins of Time, Eyes of the Sun and Moon (Please read and vote for me!)

2023-10-23

"This is……"

With a flash of light, You Fang immediately found that he was no longer in the hotel, but back in... his home in Chongqing? !

And then, his pupils fluttered, and he stared at the figure sitting on the chair in front of him, stunned for a moment.

"Old man!"

That’s right, the old man sitting by the window and looking up at the starry sky was You Yunsheng. The scenery outside the window also changed from day to night. Everything was just like that night more than a month ago.

He didn't know what was going on, but tears were already welling up in his eyes. He quickly walked forward and wanted to hug the old man, but who would have thought...

But it was all in vain!

"Ok?"

You Fang was stunned again, and then he found that the scene within one meter in front of him suddenly became blurry, as if a cloud of smoke had been dispersed by him.

But he soon realized that this might be an "illusion" created by his own perception. Everything was not real but more like a dream.

then……

You Fang retreated, and the originally scattered scene condensed again. In a moment, everything returned to its original state.

But just when he thought this was just a scene from the past, he quickly discovered something was wrong. He turned around and looked around. Everything in the house looked familiar, but he always felt that something was missing.

"Missing...me?"

After careful observation, You Fang finally discovered that everything was present in this very familiar old house, except for the traces of himself.

My own photos, my own clothes, my own tea cups, my own practice utensils... none of them are there!

I looked at the calendar on the wall and it was indeed more than a month ago, but I was not next to the old man. The place where I should have been was now empty.

"Could it be that I don't exist in this illusion? Is that another possibility?" Following the understanding in his heart, Youfang began to guess and observe.

moment……

He came to the old man's side and immediately trembled.

At this moment, he suddenly felt indescribable discomfort in his heart, because he saw that there was only turbidity in the old man's eyes!

There is no enlightenment in the memory, no heroic spirit of risking one's life, but only deep regret and the impending death of a dying person.

He could see that although the old man raised his head, he could not see the starry sky at all. His heart was filled with regret and could not hold anything else.

"I'm sorry, Master..."

I don’t know how long it took, but the old man lowered his head, said something in a dry voice, and his body hunched over.

At this moment, his eyes were flickering with infinite attachment to the past and his master. He really wanted to go back, but Youfang could see that he would not go back.

"Xiao Fangzi, you know, I've always felt that I was a traitor. Not only was I cowardly, but I always let my brothers and sisters take the lead in everything. I also left when my sect needed me most..."

"If I hadn't found you and you just happened to have the talent to practice the 'Three Stages of Reverse Rebirth', I might never dare to call myself a member of the Trinity Sect. In my heart, I really don't deserve it!"

"But fortunately, I have cultivated such a good material like you for the Trinity Sect. As long as you are here and as long as there is a continuation, the path to the third level of the Reverse Life Realm will not be interrupted. Tell me, do you think this can be considered as making up for my mistakes?"

"It should be counted, right? Haha."

"In this way, I finally have the courage to go back to the mountain gate to take a look. You don't know how much I have missed my fellow disciples... and Master over the years!"

At this moment, the words the old man had said came to your mind, causing Youfang's eyes to tremble and his lips to open and close slightly.

At this moment, he saw the light in the old man's eyes suddenly go out, a sigh full of regret sounded, vitality gradually faded away, and all his thoughts turned into bubbles.

"I'm sorry, Master..."

……

……

next second.

The screen flashed.

Everything turned into flying smoke and dissipated, then condensed again, and Youfang arrived at the Tang Tomb.

This time, he watched Tang Yingjie struggle hard under the backlash of the Qi poison, and then died in pain under the gaze of the surrounding disciples.

Next is Qingyang Palace.

After Fuchen finished inspecting the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain, he returned to the mountain and continued his daily routine.

Practice, eat, sleep...

Day after day, time passes like flowing water.

In addition to them, there are many former neighbors and hometowns. These people are ordinary people and we don’t have close interactions with them. We only take a brief glance at their changes and then leave in a hurry.

Until this moment, Youfang was completely certain that this was the "possibility" of appearing in this world if he was not there. He was just a spectator, who saw these scenes through his own understanding of the wonderful state of unity between man and nature, and the special art of "painting monsters".

Just like that, scene after scene played out before his eyes and then faded away. After an unknown amount of time, You Fang finally saw Hong Bin...

He looked around and found that this was the open space where he had negotiated with the "senior brother" last night. However, apart from Hong Bin, Old Man Feng, Wang Zhenqiu and the "senior brother", there was no other people.

"Ok?"

Soon, You Fang's eyes narrowed and surprise appeared in his eyes, because he saw that when Hong Bin lost consciousness and Feng Yun was poisoned, black energy appeared on Mr. Feng's body? !

Then, Old Man Feng waved his hand and summoned the soul of the Wind Mother from afar. The Wind Mother possessed his body, and his eyes flashed with strange light, and his momentum soared into the sky!

"This is... to summon the spirits and send the generals!"

Youfang remembered that the only magic technique that was performed like this in the comics was "Binding Souls and Summoning Generals", one of the Eight Great Techniques. He had seen ordinary soul-possessing witchcraft before, but none of them had such momentum and oppression!

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something:

"The great shaman of Liangshan, surnamed Feng, Feng Sheng, Feng Tianyang, who captures spirits and sends out generals..." Youfang murmured, feeling that there must be some connection among them!

What happened next was the same as last night. The "senior brother" threatened Old Man Feng with the soul poison and forced him to hand over the "thing".

As for what he wanted, it was naturally self-evident at this time. Without Youfang's help, Mr. Feng could only compromise.

Afterwards, with the help of the Soul Jurisdiction, Wang Zhenqiu was unable to stop Old Man Feng and could only let him take Hong Bin and the "senior brother" away and make a deal.

The content of the transaction is:

Old Master Feng handed over the practice method of summoning spirits and sent generals and let the "senior brother" go. The "senior brother" would leave the antidote at a designated location, and Old Master Feng would be able to get it ten minutes later.

However, ten minutes later, when Mr. Feng arrived at the designated location, he did not see any antidote at all. It was obvious that he had been fooled.

Fortunately, he had a backup plan. He used witchcraft to locate the location of the "Binding Spirits and Sending Generals" booklet and captured the guy. However, he also received a piece of news that made him despair:

There is no antidote for this poison, and no one can save Yun Xin!

As a result, the extremely angry Mr. Feng no longer cared about anything else, and forcibly activated the Soul Binding Technique, and fought with the "Big Brother" together with his wife's soul...

In the end, the couple managed to kill the "big brother" with great difficulty, and they themselves were already at the end of their strength. Then they used the last bit of their strength to come to their daughter and son-in-law and awaken their daughter's soul.

After this……

"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. I know this is all my fault. It's too late to regret now. I deserve it..."

"But no matter what, you must save Hong Bin. He is a fool. Even if he knew everything, he still insisted on protecting me. You must not let him die like this!"

"I know that the Soul-Binding and General-Sending Technique can refine my soul into essence, and the poison in my soul will be removed. I will use my soul to save him. It is my atonement..."

"Also, use witchcraft to seal this part of his memory. He shouldn't remember these things, idiot... he should be carefree!"

Things have come to this point, no matter how reluctant the couple is, they cannot change anything. Moreover, if time drags on, the poison in Yun Xin's soul will spread to Hong Bin.

So, Mr. Feng, in great grief, fulfilled his daughter's wish, used his daughter's soul to repair Hong Bin's remaining soul, took back the pendant and sealed his memory.

At last……

Mr. Feng informed Mother Hong over the phone, and then he left and disappeared without a trace...

……

……

"Is this the possible development without me?"

At this point, Youfang whispered to himself and then opened his eyes.

And the moment he opened his eyes, a flash of light appeared in his eyes, one bright and one dark, carrying an extremely mysterious meaning.

Without any hesitation, he stood up, took out a brand new scroll, quickly ground the ink, and then picked up the brush...

After a moment, a pair of eyes appeared on the scroll. The eyes were like snakes and dragons, containing the sun and the moon. Just by taking a look, one could feel the vicissitudes of life and the passing of time, and appreciate the rhythm of sunrise and sunset, and the rising and setting of the moon!

"call……"

Putting away his brush and ink, Youfang picked up the scroll. There was no doubt that this was his third incomplete painting. If he could complete it in the future, it would surely show astonishing power.

But it was obvious that he was not thinking about those things at the moment. He was just thinking about everything he had just seen, and the difference between the illusion and reality. His expression was complicated, and he remained silent for a long time...

I know that there has always been controversy about whether Zhulong controls time, and there is basically no specific mention in real records, but this is how it is set in this book. After all, there is really no other strange beast related to time in our legends.
