Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 248 Loophole?

The Fifth Dimension was not in a hurry to explore the waterfall, but first scattered colored sand in the courtyard to recreate the situation of the previous day.

Soon, Xiao Zhengde appeared in the courtyard. He dismissed his attendants, rubbed a ring, and released a mother and son, who were Princess Changle and Prince Xie.

Prince Xie cowered in his mother's arms, Princess Changle turned pale with fright and begged Xiao Zhengde for something.

"Finally we have found this mother and daughter. Now we have a legitimate reason to do so." The Fifth Dimension breathed a sigh of relief.

Ren Yuan nodded and continued watching. He saw that Xiao Zhengde was unmoved. After letting the mother and son catch their breath for a while, he put them back into the ring, and then he did not allow his followers to follow him and left the yard alone.

The two followed Xiao Zhengde all the way to the edge of the waterfall, and saw him jump high into the water and dive into the waterfall...

The scene ends abruptly here.

"Follow?" Ren Yuan asked softly.

"Don't worry." The Fifth Dimension said cautiously, "I'll go in and take a look first."

"Yes." Ren Yuan nodded, and saw a flash of golden light in front of his eyes. Another fifth dimension came out of his body and suddenly rushed into the waterfall.

The fifth dimension has been promoted to eight orifices, and the Yin God has been gradually tempered into Yang God. Although it cannot be compared with Xue Dingnan who has achieved great success in Yang God, he can already fly into the sky and hide underground, and use magical powers. His ability is very powerful.

Of course, if you want to make trouble in Zijin Mountain, you are still not good enough.

After a moment, the fifth dimension's yang spirit returned to the body and nodded to Ren Yuan, indicating that there was no danger inside.

Ren Yuan followed the Fifth Dimension and both jumped into the waterfall.

He thought there might be a water curtain cave or something behind the waterfall, but unexpectedly it was just a wet stone wall.

Ren Yuan quickly used his internal energy to resist the impact. Unexpectedly, the moment his body hit the stone wall, ripples appeared like water, just like hitting a large piece of jelly. There was resistance but not much, and he squeezed in smoothly.

The next moment, he saw the scene before him turned upside down, the mountains turned into plains, and summer turned into winter.

I was in a small woods. Looking around, I could no longer see Tongtai Temple. There was only a fortress surrounded by farmland standing far away at the end of the road.

"Don't you think God is magical?" The voice of the fifth dimension sounded.

"Magical." Ren Yuan nodded, watching the fifth dimension's figure emerge from the void.

"You never thought that there is such a huge secret place hidden in the Purple Gold Mountain." The Fifth Dimension sighed, and then said puzzledly: "How could Xiao Zhengde be so worthy that Tongtai Temple actually let him ruin such a precious place."

"It's possible that the monks of Tongtai Temple don't know about this place." Ren Yuan looked around and said, "If this is a secret passage they built on their own initiative, they wouldn't be so careless in guarding against it."

"That's right. Even if we don't arrange guards at the waterfall, we should at least put two stone arhats to guard the gate." The Fifth Dimension nodded and asked, "So what do you think is going on?"

"Let me think about how to describe it to you." Ren Yuan was actually thinking of the games he had played before, from "Plumber Jump Jump Jump" to "I Have a Plan", all of which had some system loopholes that allowed the characters in the game to suddenly jump from a certain location on the map to another map.

For example, in the latter case, your Arthur can drink next to the mountain at the end of the map, get drunk, and then wake up to some hidden maps.

To be honest, this experience gave him such a feeling.

Ren Yuan felt it was ridiculous, because only a world designed by humans would have loopholes outside the rules.

Is this world also designed?
But looking at this endless plain, the white clouds floating in the blue sky, and the flocks of birds flying, if this is really a man-made world, what kind of great power would be needed?

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Ren Yuan laughed at himself. Just as he was about to deny it, he heard the fifth dimension exclaim, "Oh my god, what kind of strange bird is that?" Following his pointing, Ren Yuan saw a large bird with three legs, a white head and a human face flying in the sky.

As it flew, it made a bird-like sound of "Qu Ru, Qu Ru..."

Hearing the bird's cry, Ren Yuan instantly recalled the record in the Classic of Mountains and Seas - Southern Mountains: 'There is a bird, its shape is like a 鵁, but with a white head, three legs, and a human face. Its name is Qu Ru, and its cry is its own call.'

"This bird's name is Qu Ru..." Ren Yuan's mouth felt a little dry.

"Yes, yes, I remember now, it is indeed called this name." The Fifth Dimension patted his head and said uncertainly: "I feel like I have been here before, but I have completely forgotten it."

"That's normal." Ren Yuan responded casually, and then said, "Master Wei, wait a moment, I'll confirm it."

"Okay." The Fifth Dimension nodded, and seeing him sitting cross-legged in meditation, he took the initiative to help him protect the Dharma.

Ren Yuan used his first skill, the Golden Light Technique, and his spiritual consciousness quickly established a connection with the sun.

But what he saw was not a red sun, but nine golden crows, living on a giant tree in the sea that reached the sky and the ground!

"Fuck..." Ren Yuan's mind was shaken so much that he lost his concentration instantly and couldn't help but swear.

"What's wrong?" The Fifth Dimension asked hurriedly with concern.

"I know where this place is." Ren Yuan said with a pale face.

"Where?"

"Dreamland!" Ren Yuan spoke word by word.

"Are you sure?" The fifth dimension was naturally familiar with this place that Nangong feared the most.

"Sure." Ren Yuan nodded and said, "Unless there is another place with ten suns and ancient strange beasts."

"That makes sense." The Fifth Dimension swallowed his saliva and said, "But shouldn't dreams exist in dreams? How come we came in directly while awake?"

"This is the second possibility I want to talk about - loopholes." Ren Yuan couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "It is said that Dreamland was built by an unspeakable being, but as long as it is not natural, it is difficult to be perfect, and there may be loopholes of one kind or another."

"Yeah, that makes sense." This may be difficult for others to understand, but Fifth Dimension is an exception. Because his great magical power is to create an illusion, although it is ten thousand times simpler than creating a world, the principle is actually the same.

He could never create a perfect illusion, so he only sought to prevent the other party from finding loopholes quickly. Thinking of that being who created such a magnificent dreamland, he should also have similar troubles.

"You mean, Xiao Zhengde accidentally discovered this loophole and used it to hide people?" asked the Fifth Dimension.

"Who knows if it was accidental or someone told him." Ren Yuan pouted and said, "But we'd better not discuss it here."

"I understand." The Fifth Dimension nodded and said, "It is indescribable."

"And we'd better not attract attention, otherwise it will attract the Nightmare Beast." Ren Yuan exhaled.

Following the principle of listening to advice and having enough food to eat, he drifted on the Yunmeng Lake for a year, which was five years if calculated according to the time in the dream world, but he did not dare to set foot in the dreamland even once.

I never expected that I would end up here so unexpectedly.
