Chapter 3 The time of the yellow clock, asking the world's spring and autumn(1/2)
The scholars behind Qiu Shuijing felt very embarrassed.
Although the young man named Su Yun's smile was full of sunshine, he looked even more gloomy and terrifying in this gloomy ghost market.
A boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, and a blind man at that, actually got mixed up with a group of fox demons and went to school with an old fox!
It was just that he went to school with the fox demon, but the key point was how he broke into Tianmen and ran to the ghost market?
You must know that the Tianmen Ghost Market stands high in the sky. Ordinary people cannot see the road to Tianmen, let alone enter the ghost market behind the gate.
How did a little blind man reach this high altitude?
If he entered the ghost market from Tianmen, he would definitely not be able to hide it from Qiu Shuijing and others. If he did not enter the ghost market from Tianmen, is there another way to enter the ghost market?
What’s even weirder is that he actually sets up a stall in the ghost market just like the ghosts and gods in the ghost market!
Could it be said that he is not alive at all?
If he were alive, how could the ghosts and gods in the ghost market tolerate him setting up a stall in this place?
However, if he was a dead person, how did he appear alive in front of everyone?
The scholars couldn't wait to catch that little guy with the harmless smile and study him thoroughly!
At this moment, a scholar suddenly realized it and said in a voiceless voice: "I know, he is a human demon!"
As soon as these words came out, even Qiu Shuijing couldn't help but trembled.
Human devil!
The human spirit attaches itself to the human body and turns into a demon that destroys humanity!
This young man named Su Yun first studied with the fox demon, and now he appears in the ghost market. Neither ghosts nor fox demons regard him as an alien. Is he really an extremely evil human demon?
Qiu Shuijing suddenly lowered his voice: "There is a fourth rule in Tianmen Ghost Market: take care of yourself and never ask too much about other things! Sometimes asking too much about things can kill people."
The scholars were awe-inspiring. There should be no fourth rule in Tianmen Ghost Market. Qiu Shuijing was worried about their safety, so he warned them not to meddle in other people's business.
"Are you a gentleman from the city?" the blind boy asked with a smile.
"Yes." Qiu Shuijing took a deep look at the young man named Su Yun and said.
He was stunned, and suddenly felt a sense of relief: "He is not a demon."
He saw Su Yun's spiritual power.
Su Yun's spiritual power was very light and weak, and could not be detected by the celestial eyes of the scholars. Even Qiu Shuijing had to look closely to see it.
Su Yun's magical power is very weird, like a big yellow bell that keeps spinning.
This yellow bell is unique, as it seems to be held together by different rings inside, and the rings seem to be connected by gears.
The gears of the upper ring are larger and the gears of the lower ring are smaller, which results in the rotation speed of the lower ring being much faster than that of the upper ring.
The ring of this yellow bell has seven layers in total.
The first layer is almost stationary, the second layer rotates extremely slowly, and the third layer rotates more than ten times faster than the second layer, but it is also very slow.
The fourth level of Huang Zhong is more than ten times faster than the third level, but the speed is not fast either.
On the fifth floor, the rotation speed can be easily detected.
The speed of the sixth layer is three to four hundred times that of the fifth layer, while the rotation speed of the seventh layer is three to four hundred times that of the sixth layer. It can rotate dozens of times in the blink of an eye!
"This is……"
Qiu Shuijing was extremely surprised and immediately guessed the function of Su Yun's spiritual power: "His yellow clock is used to tell time. The first layer is the year, the second layer is the month, the third layer is the day, and the fourth layer is the hour.
The fifth level is words, the sixth level is seconds, and the seventh level is suddenness."
He showed a thoughtful look: "I know his purpose clearly. He is using the scales of the yellow clock to calculate where he has gone. However, other people will not use seconds to measure time at all. They would just use seconds to measure time.
enough."
People who are unable to see have difficulty walking and need someone to guide them or use crutches to explore. However, this young man named Su Yun did not use crutches and had no one to guide him.
The reason why he can move freely is that he is familiar with all the geography around him.
It's not enough to just be familiar with geography. He must have a time scale and use time and his own traveling speed to judge where he is.
"He uses sudden time to measure time, which shows that every move he makes is extremely precise! He can never make a mistake in a place he is familiar with!"
Qiu Shuijing even thought more. If Huang Zhong was used to fight, then every move of this young man named Su Yun would be extremely accurate and not a single bit of power would be wasted!
"At such a young age, he was able to cultivate supernatural powers of nature and reach the realm of spiritual accumulation. His qualifications are extraordinary, but it's a pity that he is blind. It is countless times more difficult for a blind person to learn something than for other people."
Qiu Shuijing sighed secretly. In his heart, Su Yun was a talented person, even better qualified than the scholars behind him, but being blind meant that no matter how good Su Yun's qualifications were, he would not be able to achieve anything.
"This yellow bell is so sophisticated, how did he develop such magical powers?" Qiu Shuijing was quite curious.
Such a complex yellow clock is so precise that there is no room for error. Even the officials in charge of the calendar may not be able to cultivate such spiritual powers, let alone a child?
He became more and more curious about this young man named Su Yun.
"Su Yun, Yuan Tianmen Town, Tianshi, was thirteen years old. Something happened to his family when he was seven years old. He was seven years old, that is, six years ago. Six years ago in Tianmen Town..."
Qiu Shuijing's expression changed slightly, she glanced at Su Yun again, and led the scholars towards the depths of the ghost market.
The ghost market is huge. Many people have tried to find the end of the ghost market, but no one has ever been able to explore it overnight.
Qiu Shuijing also planned to explore the ghost market this time, but after meeting Su Yun, he was no longer in the mood.
He found the spirit of the great man and asked the scholars to go and inquire about the great man's last wish.
Qiu Shuijing silently listened to the great man's spirit telling his last wish, feeling filled with emotion in his heart.
He knew this big shot. Not only did he know him, but he had a close relationship with him back then. He could even be called a close friend.
Later, the two discovered that they had different ideas because of a small incident, and then they gradually drifted apart.
Although his ideas were different, he had no resentment towards this great man and only had respect in his heart, so he brought his fellow scholars to fulfill the great man's unfulfilled wish.
"...My treasure is called the Ukiyo Penhua Brush, which I have spent my whole life refining. I only have one requirement for taking this treasure: to serve the country to the death."
Qiu Shuijing had a smile on his face when he heard the big man's spirit say this, but he felt a little sad in his heart.
This dear friend of mine could not let go of this country even after his death.
Both of them chose the road of saving the country, but although the purpose was the same, the way of achieving it was different. Therefore, it was the difference in philosophy that led to their parting ways.
But in terms of his heart to serve and save the country, Qiu Shuijing felt that this close friend was more pure.
Looking back on myself, I had already lost all my enterprising spirit in my middle age, left Dongdu in embarrassment, and hid in Shuofang.
There were voices coming from behind. Qiu Shuijing gathered her thoughts and turned around to look. She saw other people coming to the ghost market, dozens of them one after another.
It was probably the opening of the Tianmen market, and the powerful people from Shuofang also sent people to try their luck. As for Tianshiyuan, because of the incident, there were no powerful families left.
In the middle of the night, all the scholars had gained something. Qiu Shuijing ordered them to go ahead and leave the ghost market, saying: "You go to Tianshiyuan Station and go back to Shuofang City first. I may stay here for a while.
"
The scholars left.
Qiu Shuijing watched them go away, then returned to Tianmen and the ghost market.
He stood far away and stared at the young man named Su Yun.
Su Yun had no idea that the artifacts he sold were all artifacts from tombs. However, compared to the treasures of ghosts and gods, his artifacts were ordinary things and could not be called treasures and were of little use.
People who come to the ghost market to hunt for treasures will just take a look at his stall and then leave.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and there are gradually no people in the ghost market.
Su Yun started to pack his things, rolled up his stall, put it in a basket, carried it behind his back, and walked towards the depths of the ghost market.
Qiu Shuijing followed the young man quietly.
Unknowingly, they had reached the depths of the ghost market.
Looking up from the ground, the ghost market is a splendid city. It is so vast that there is no end in sight. Walking in the ghost market, the deeper you go, the darker and colorless the surrounding buildings become.
Their feet became softer and softer, as if they were walking on clouds and mist.
Even Qiu Shuijing hesitated. The ghost market was too big. If he continued to follow this young man, if he didn't have time to turn back, wouldn't he be buried in the ghost market?
Just when he thought of this, Su Yun suddenly stopped.
The little blind man did not continue walking along the street, but entered the alley on the left.
Qiu Shuijing raised her eyebrows. The alleyway is the most dangerous place in the ghost market!
There are some incredible things left over from the ancient times, things that cannot be explained. More importantly, the alleyways have twists and turns and complicated paths, like a maze, and no one has ever been able to get out of it!
Qiu Shuijing hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and followed the little blind man into the alleyway.
The houses on both sides of the road gradually began to look less like houses and more like tombs.
Coupled with the darkness of the night, the tombs merged into the darkness, and only the outline could be faintly seen.
The dark wind howled, accompanied by the cries of ghosts and gods, and the surroundings became increasingly scary.
Ahead, the little blind Su Yun could not see what was going on around him. He could only identify his position and path based on his own footsteps and the rotation of the yellow clock.
He had obviously been here before, more than once, and walked forward without any hesitation.
To be continued...
