Ji Han took out the prepared [Blood Ashes] from his bag and distributed them to everyone.
"Anyway, just in case, eat it before talking."
It is normal to have differences in judgment on things, but under such conditions, any weird things are very likely to be hidden risks.
If hallucinations really occur, and one accidentally falls from upstairs, it is estimated that even this ability will not have a chance to be used.
As the pungent taste penetrated the brain from the mouth of the fire snake, Ji Han and the others also became more energetic.
Although I don't know if it's a hallucination, [Blood Ashes] can play a very good preventive role, Ji Han raised his hand and said:
"Wait here, let me see if I can climb up?"
Chen Ke hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Brother Ji, didn't you just say you were going to walk a few more laps?"
Chapter 829 Schrödinger's Cat
Hearing Chen Ke's question, Ji Han's eyes widened again.
"When did I say what I just said?"
"It was just when we came back from the circle. I said we had to go straight up. You said the situation was unknown, so it's better to circle around and have a look."
After Chen Ke said this, seeing Ji Han's dull expression, he knew that Ji Han didn't seem to have said these words.
The spicy taste in his mouth has not been completely eliminated, Ji Han really can't believe that these are caused by hallucinations.
And no matter whether he is suitable for Chen Ke and the three of them, they can't see any demeanor that has been under the illusion.
But how can everyone have such a big difference in memory of what just happened?
Could it be that this place will have some bad effects on the human brain?
It didn't seem right either, I didn't feel any incongruity in the brain.
The four people who noticed the problem did not leave easily, but leaned on the corridor on the second floor and recalled the details just now.
Ji Han asked Chen Ke to recount the details of the four people coming up just now.
After everyone listened carefully, Ji Han found that it was different from his memory, except for the two points just mentioned, and he didn't suggest to go into the house to have a look, while Chen Ke and Qiezi remembered that he suggested to go in and search together.
After clarifying the specific differences, Ji Han didn't hide anything, and repeated what he actually said.
Eggplant lit a flue:
"Did you get caught by a ghost or are you confused? There shouldn't be such a big gap in what we remember, right? Ji Han, do you still remember the 20 you owed me?"
Ji Han didn't pay attention to Eggplant's untimely joke, but carefully pondered the situation in front of him.
The three differences just now are almost all related to this house and the statue inside. Could it be that there is something tricky about this thing?
Thinking that Ji Han scanned the sculpture of the Queen Mother of the West again, but still found nothing.
And since I first saw the state of this thing change, it doesn't seem to have changed again.
Song Qian looked up at the top of the Yulou, which was invisible above her head, and guessed:
"Brother Han, do you think it might have something to do with the time ring above?"
Judging from the situation in several places I have been to before, the time ring can indeed function on its own before it is collected, but the situation encountered in front of me has nothing to do with the time ring.
Ji Han shook his head lightly:
"Not sure, the time ring may indeed work, but at least I don't know the relationship between this and the situation we encountered."
Song Qian's words seemed to wake up Chen Ke.
Ji Han knew what he was thinking of, so he asked in time:
"What's your idea?"
Chen Ke didn't reply in a hurry, but first looked around Ji Han, Eggplant and Song Qian with a puzzled face, then stood up and looked around the second floor of the Jade Pagoda to make sure that no one was there, and then walked back.
Eggplant smiled and said:
"Why? I'm afraid people will overhear you in this kind of place."
Chen Ke swallowed and said:
"I'm not afraid of someone eavesdropping, but... you three are not the Ji Ge, Song Qian and eggplant I know."
Although they didn't understand immediately, Ji Han, Qiezi and Song Qian still felt a chill rising behind their backs as soon as these words came out.
"What do you mean you don't know?"
Ke Chen took a deep breath and asked back:
"Brother Ji, have you ever watched a movie called "The Night the Comet Came"?"
The movie Chen Ke mentioned, Ji Han, had seen it before, and it was a pretty good sci-fi movie.
It tells the story of several people having dinner together at home on the coming night, but they left the house one after another due to various unexpected reasons.
But since they left the house, strange things happened one after another: I saw the friend who came out before coming out of another house;
The friends of the group reconciled as before; seeing the broken wine glass restored to its original shape...
Eventually they finally figured out why:
On the night when the comet came, the door to the parallel world was also opened, and they had the same meal in the parallel world, but because the selves in each room were different and things happened differently, they didn't know the situation clearly. Several people went to the wrong room and returned to the dinner that did not belong to them in the parallel world, so they saw all kinds of weird phenomena.
Chen Ke was afraid that some people hadn't seen it, so he briefly talked about the plot.
When he heard Chen Ke say the name of the movie, Ji Han already knew his guess.
No wonder he looked at everyone so carefully just now, and looked left and right to see if there was anyone else.
He was afraid that he would also enter a parallel universe and meet Ji Han and Song Qian who were not originally partners.
Eggplant nodded and said:
"Let's not talk about it, it's really possible, but teammates in parallel worlds shouldn't be so bad partners, right?"
Song Qian shook her head, seeming to doubt it:
"Not to mention whether parallel worlds really exist, I really can't believe that a device that can open parallel worlds can be created with the power of the ancients and the time ring alone."
Ji Han didn't speak, but continued to think along Chen Ke's train of thought just now.
What Song Qian said is correct, the time ring certainly does not have the power to create parallel worlds, but the feeling just now can be created without parallel worlds.
Thinking about it, Ji Han directly took out the space-time compass and time ring from his backpack.
Then go straight to the jade carving of Queen Mother of the West placed in the second floor.
As the hands holding the space-time compass gradually approached, the details of the statue's face began to gradually change.
It wasn't until Ji Han walked up to the statue that the face details of the jade carving of the Queen Mother of the West finally took shape: the faces on the left and right were actually different.
On the left is the dignified smile I saw at the beginning; on the right is the ferocious sneer I saw later.
Eggplant is still a little puzzled:
"What's going on here? Do we each see one side? Or is this statue alive?"
Chen Ke reacted first, slapped his forehead and said with emotion:
"Fuck, I understand, Schrödinger's cat, the effect of this time ring is awesome."
"Play charades again, I will shoot one at a time!"
Seeing that Eggplant and Song Qian still didn't understand, Chen Ke explained:
"This time ring did not create any parallel universes at all, I guess its ability may be to create the possibility of different timelines, and realize them in the human brain.
For example, seeing this face with different faces, Brother Ji and I each saw a possibility, and following this possibility, we each had a possible event on that timeline in our minds.
Fuck, this is simply a top-notch illusion. If there is no time ring to try to offset the ability of the time ring, I don’t know how much difference the different timelines in our minds will eventually bring. "
8 Chapter Thirty
After listening to Chen Ke's explanation, Qiezi and Song Qian also had a general understanding of the situation here.
This is indeed not an illusion created by drugs or formations, but comes from the unique ability of this time ring.
Let multiple different timelines emerge in different people's minds, so that the past that everyone has seen is different.
However, this is indeed not a fatal illusion. It may not be the original intention of the builders, but they have no way to restrain the unique ability of this time ring, so they put it on the shelf.
Song Qian followed Chen Ke's meaning and guessed:
"If this is the case, can we use this time ring to see different development routes, so... to predict the future?"
Hearing Song Qian's words, Ji Han remembered the "Avengers" he had seen before. Doctor Strange could see a different future through the time gem.
Ji Han shook his head and said:
"It can't be confirmed yet, just now it only affects our short-term memory, so even if we can predict the future timeline, I'm afraid we can't see very far."
In other words, if the strange scene that just appeared was not discovered by chance, it might not have any impact on everyone, so although the ability of this time ring is very special, its strength may not be as great as imagined.
Eggplant frowned and said:
"If the owner of this time ring, Queen Mother Xi, really discovers the mystery, then she may be able to do what is said in the legend."
"you are right?"
"The elixir of life!"
If the Queen Mother of the West really has a way to use the ability of this time ring to see different futures, then it is equivalent to possessing the ability of infinite trial and error, then the legendary elixir of life may not be such a longing and unattainable thing.
Even Queen Mother Xi, as a rare female leader of her time, may have played a huge role in this time ring.
Originally, everyone didn't quite believe that the Queen Mother of the West possessed the magic medicine, but seeing the terrifying ability of this time ring, the medicine of longevity is not completely impossible.
What's more believable is that there is still no coffin of Queen Mother Xi after walking here. Maybe this is not the tomb of Queen Mother West, or it is possible that Queen Mother Xi did not die in the end.
Recalling that the first floor of this entire jade building was once filled with gold, silver and jewelry, Eggplant once joked that he couldn't think of anything more precious upstairs.
Thinking about it now, besides the time ring, the possibility of the legendary elixir is indeed more likely.
Holding the space-time compass inlaid with several time rings in his arms, with this body protection, it should be able to offset the impact of the thing above his head.
After figuring out the situation he was facing, Ji Han threw the devil's tentacles upstairs and hooked them to the railing above.
Using this kind of bluestone to build, the biggest benefit for Ji Han is that it makes him climb better.
I don't know if the builder didn't design the stairs leading to the top because he just didn't think about letting future generations go up.
Ji Han climbed up in threes and fives, but he didn't expect to find that half of the broken rope was hanging outside the railing above.
The material looked very rough, Ji Han gently tugged it with his hand, the rope couldn't bear the usual pulling force, and it actually broke directly.
It seems that someone has come up before, and the rope has been broken like this, probably General Guo Xin and the others.
Hearing that Ji Han made no sound after going up, and couldn't see the situation clearly through the bluestone slab, Song Qian asked:
"Brother Han? Are you okay up there?"
"Relax, everything is fine."
While talking, Ji Han tied the heart lock chain to the railing above, and then used the chain to guard the three of them to climb up one by one.
From the outside, there seems to be no difference between the 3rd floor and the 2nd floor. They are all made of bluestone, but the area is much smaller than the bottom.
This is a good thing, the smaller the space, the less dangers there may be buried.
Even if the space was smaller, the four of them could not
They split up and went to the front of the third floor and looked in. Inside was a bronze vessel half a person's height.
Probably because of the surrounding water vapor, the surface of the alchemy furnace has already formed a layer of green copper rust crystals.
The shape of the bronze vessel is too weird, the lower part is almost spherical, with a long cover on it, and the whole looks like a huge Rupert's tear.
Even though the rust is serious, it can still be recognized that the sphere below is hollowed out. If you don't look carefully, you may think that those hollowed out patterns are naturally formed by the severe corrosion of the copperware.
Ji Han had never seen anything similar, so he didn't know how to judge for a while, but Chen Ke widened his eyes and said:
"Dan furnace? Brother Qie, your guess may be right. The Queen Mother of the West is really involved in this business."
Pill furnace?Hearing this name, the first thing Ji Han recalled was the huge stove of the Taishang Laojun in "Journey to the West". At this moment, being reminded by Chen Ke like this, it really looks a bit like it, but this shape is too Chic.
