There are still mountains outside, repeating mountains one after another, like ripples caused by the shrinkage of space on a small scale.
After Yu Sheng recovered from the thrilling acceleration, deceleration and dizziness, he saw the "repeating mountains" described by Hu Li.
The continuous mountains were like spreading ripples, extending infinitely in his field of vision. There was a hazy mist between the mountains. In the mist, no outline other than the "mountain" could be seen.
Yu Sheng frowned and stared at the endlessly repeated mountains in the distance for a long time. Then he suddenly remembered the cafe where he and Baili Qing met - at that time, the cafe was also like this.
This repeats and extends endlessly until the end of the field of vision.
But the situation is different: the cafe only extends endlessly in both directions. In addition, at least its street window is still an obvious "border", but the surrounding mountains in front of it...
No matter which direction you look from, you can't see any obvious "end".
"This... we can't go any further, right?" Irene grabbed Yu Sheng's head and nervously looked across the ridge, "Are we still going forward?"
Yu Sheng fell silent, and at the same time silently concentrated his energy, recalling the perspectives he had "seen" when he first established a connection with the valley, and sensing the surrounding environment.
After a while, he suddenly bent down, picked up a small stone from the ground, and threw it into the distance. The stone flew into the air, but disappeared from everyone's eyes before landing.
"Huh?" Eileen made a surprised sound when she saw this scene.
Yu Sheng walked forward slowly and very cautiously came to the place where the stone disappeared.
There seemed to be nothing in front of him, but there seemed to be an invisible "border". He bent down again, picked up a pebble from the ground, and gently threw it forward.
This time, he saw the disappearance process of the pebble more clearly - it passed through a "boundary" in an instant, and at the moment it disappeared, there were brief and weak ripples in the air, just like the water surface.
Yu Sheng raised his head and looked to the left and right along the ridgeline. He felt it.
The mountains undulated and closed again at the far end, and the invisible boundary shrouded the entire valley, from the sky to the ground. After hesitating for a few seconds, Yu Sheng finally took a gentle breath,
Take steps and keep walking forward.
"Hey, hey, hey! Really move forward!" The little doll immediately shouted on his shoulder, "I feel like this is a bit evil! Wouldn't it be...
Before she finished speaking, Yu Sheng had already crossed the invisible boundary. As the slightly trembling ripples spread in the air, a brief feeling of weightlessness appeared and disappeared. The two of them suddenly stood in the valley again.
somewhere in the center.
"...I can't come back..." Irene was still shouting habitually. After saying the last two words, she was stunned and looked around in disbelief. "Ah, you're back?" Then, she
Then she saw a larger ripple appear next to her, and a huge silver-white demon fox passed through the air and appeared next to her and Yu Sheng.
"Benefactor!" Huli looked nervously as soon as he came over. He was relieved when he saw Yu Sheng and Irene standing beside him, and carefully rubbed Yu Sheng's body with the tip of his tail, "You suddenly
Disappeared and scared me!"
"The space is closed at the boundary and points in one direction towards the center of the area," Yu Sheng thought for a long time and finally broke the silence, "I just don't know if other foreign lands have this structure."
Irene listened blankly for a while, then realized after a while: "In other words, no matter what, you can't get to the 'outside'?"
"There is no 'outside' at all," Yu Sheng shook his head. "This valley is the only 'valid' area in the entire space. The infinite mountains we just saw are actually due to the closure of the boundary space.
The 'shadows' that are continuously superimposed in the curved space and time, and if you look closely, you will find that they are actually infinite copies of the mountains surrounding the valley."
Erin opened her eyes wide, and after a long time, she finally showed a sudden look: "...Wow." She didn't know whether she really understood or pretended to understand.
Then after a while, Irene poked Yu Sheng's head: "What should we do next?" Yu Sheng turned his attention to the silver-white demon fox next to him.
"Since this place will no longer become a physical entity, but has become a stable place... Maybe we can bury your parents properly again, at least build a formal tomb, what do you think?"
The fox girl tilted her head, and after a moment, she nodded slightly.
It didn't take much time to find the burial ground of Hu Li's parents, and it was not difficult for Yu Sheng to build a grave now.
The two bones that had been hastily buried that year were cleaned up and consolidated. Yu Sheng made the ground dent and solidify, turning it into a regular tomb. He also made the stones bite and blend with each other, turning into a solid sarcophagus-compared to the large-scale
The land healed and quickly grew vegetation. This series of operations was very simple for him.
The bones were placed in the sarcophagus, and the sarcophagus was placed in the tomb. The earth crawled and covered it layer by layer, and a tomb was quickly formed.
"We still need a tombstone," Yu Sheng looked at the tomb in front of him. After noticing that Hu Li's eyes were a little blank, he explained, "Put it in front of the tomb as a memorial."
Hu Li nodded immediately: "I'll get it."
After the words fell, the silver-white demon fox turned and ran into the distance. With a series of roars that tore the air and a sonic explosion, she disappeared in front of Yusheng and Irene in almost the blink of an eye. Then after a while, she was furious again.
Longdi ran back with a strange silver-white metal plate in his mouth.
About half a person tall.
"This is a gift my parents bought me," Hu Li put down the metal plate and explained to the student, "It's...a musical instrument. I was clamoring to sign up for a hobby class, so they bought me this.
, but I haven’t had time to learn.. Now, it’s broken too.”
As she spoke, she flexibly rolled up the metal plate with her tail, inserted it into the soil in front of the tomb, and patted it with her paws, pressing the soil until it was as hard as a stone. "Actually, the tombstone is not like this...
..." Yu Sheng muttered subconsciously, but swallowed his words halfway, "Forget it, if you think this is suitable, then that's it."
"We don't have these rules over there." The silver-white demon fox lay down next to the grave and gently (really gently this time) rubbed Yu Sheng's arm with the tip of its nose.
A small part of the bones were left as souvenirs, such as teeth and finger bones. After the immortal died, his head was
If the hair is left behind, the body will return to nature, or it can be refined into an artifact for future generations to serve as a souvenir. In any case, there is no need for additional "burial". In addition, some people will leave their souls and wisdom while they are alive.
Detach yourself, return to the great road, your soul and wisdom will be immortal, and your body will be abandoned to heaven and earth."
As she spoke, she moved her head on the ground and turned her eyes to the brand new tomb.
"But I heard the immortal say that a long time ago, before the heavenly beings came, there were rules for burying the dead. At that time, people would bury the remains of their ancestors very solemnly, or store them in the ossuary pavilion.
here, but that is a very ancient thing. According to the teachings in the school, then
It's called 'Before the Interstellar Era', which is a cultural characteristic of civilization when it still thrives in the gravity circle... After leaving the gravity circle, people's thinking and way of living will no longer have a strong connection with the 'surface', and the ethics of life and death
The concept of "funeral" will be reshaped, so the "funeral" will also change."
Eileen was listening in a daze for a while: "Why do I feel that you are talking about something very profound..."
"It's all taught in school, and I can't remember a lot of knowledge. My grades at that time were not very good either." Hu Li's big tail swept around on the ground, and then he turned his eyes to the thing in front of him.
On the tomb.
After two or three seconds of silence, she spoke softly: "That's good, I can come here to talk to my parents in the future... My benefactor's advice is always very reasonable."
Yu Sheng didn't say anything, he just walked over and sat next to the silver demon fox, leaning on one of her big tails.
He was curious about Hu Li's hometown, trying to imagine what a "fairy and demon civilization" that had broken away from the earth's surface and could travel among the stars would look like, and thought about how to find that place in this vast universe.
Then these thoughts gradually receded from his heart, and he emptied his mind and stared into the distance in ecstasy.
He looked at this "foreign land" that would no longer have an entity, no longer produce poison and corruption, and was closely connected to himself. This place... seems to be regarded as a "base camp"?
But what can such a huge "base camp" be used for... to house people? His team, including himself, only has three people now, not to mention that he also has No. 66 Wutong Road. No matter how old the house is, it is smaller than
Livable in the wilderness...
Use it for farming? I don’t know if vegetables can be grown in this foreign land. There is enough light, and grass can grow on the ground... Maybe it will work. If grass grows, food and vegetables can grow... Be bolder.
It’s not impossible to raise cattle and sheep, right?
Yu Sheng felt that he was about to fall asleep, leaning on the beaver's big furry tail. The feeling of comfort and relaxation made his thoughts float as if floating in cotton balls. He thought of many messy things.
Then I couldn't help laughing because of some outrageous ideas.
The little doll on the shoulder suddenly raised its face and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Yu Sheng said seriously: "I am thinking about what this place can be used for in the future. The current preliminary plan is to level the wasteland around the ruined temple and plant some radish, beans and cabbage.
Chapter completed!
