Although the crow is sometimes unreliable, Aoki knows that it never loses the chain at critical moments. In terms of mental power, the cat is not necessarily weaker than the crow, but the crow has been on the battlefield and in love. This bird has more than a strong mental power and a special ability, plus its mouth and skin that can grind a lifelong flower into a temper. , It should not be difficult to stabilize the white cat.

Aoki stepped into the dark field with peace of mind.

After experiencing a brief period of nothingness, my eyes suddenly opened up, and a depression appeared, sparsely planted with some crops, and there were a few low-rise houses next to them, which looked like rural houses from decades ago.

Aoki remembered that when he entered Yao's mother's dream, he had seen this place. This should be Yao's mother's hometown. She lived here with her grandma when she was a child.

The distance was misty and I couldn't see clearly, but the doors of those private houses were open. Aoki stepped across the depression and walked directly into the house.

There was a woman sitting in the room, wearing a rich blue cheongsam, with a nice face and grace.

Aoki felt familiar, carefully distinguished, and found that this woman's appearance was somewhat similar to Yao Jingjing, but it was obviously not Yao Jingjing, nor Yao's mother. Moreover, there is a trace of mental power in this woman, that is to say, she is not what Yao's mother dreamed of, but an independent consciousness like that cat. It's just that her consciousness remains very weak, not as strong as that cat.

"You finally came." The woman said.

Aoki stunned and said, "Do you know I'm coming?"

The woman said: "Someone will come, either you or someone else."

Aoki said, "Since you have known that someone is coming, and have been waiting, why do you want the cat to stay outside and not let people come in."

The woman said: "The only person I have to wait for is to break through the guardianship of the white cat."

Aoki seemed to understand something, and said, "That cat...you tame it?"

The woman nodded and said, "Yes."

"Are you an old lady Cuan?" Qingmu remembers that Yao's mother said that their surname was Cuan, and their surname was with her grandmother. Now this dream should be Cuanjia Village.

"Old lady?" The woman was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "Not bad, I should have thought that when you come, I'm very old, maybe my granddaughter is already old!"

She laughed for a while and then said: "My name is Cuan Yifang, and the Cuan family of Cuanzhou left me this one, and I can count on it when I am here. I have to guard this little thing that my ancestors looked at. Now that you are here, I can go too."

Aoki asked, "What are you guarding?"

Cuan Yifang smiled and said, "I can't tell you yet, because I don't know if you are the one I'm waiting for. You must take another test."

"What's the test?"

"Look at what this is?"

The young Cuan lady gently raised her hand, and a transparent triangular pyramid appeared in the void.

Aoki didn't know what it meant, and looked at it blankly, always feeling very strange.

The triangular pyramid rotates slowly, exuding a circle of energy at its apex, forming a plane, like a rippling water surface.

Then, this layer of water is like a mirror, and a triangular pyramid is also reflected on the top, which is connected with the apex of the triangular pyramid below to form a symmetrical mirror image.

Aoki immediately thought of the logo of the Awakened Alliance. He had seen the triangles with the two vertices connected more than once, but it was the first time he saw such a three-dimensional picture.

"Awakened Alliance?"

He was a little bit agitated, and couldn't help but touch the two triangular pyramids with mental strength.

I don’t know if the upper and lower levels are different. The triangular pyramid on the top is much darker than the one on the bottom. The one on the bottom is transparent, but the one on the top is slightly golden.

However, Aoki soon discovered that the golden yellow was not the true color of the triangular pyramid, but the triangular pyramid above was filled with fine yellow sand.

Boo——

Under the stimulation of his mental power, with a slight energy fluctuation, the apex of the two triangular pyramids collapsed, and a small hole appeared. The yellow sand in the upper cone began to flow into the lower cone, forming a strip. Thin vertical lines.

Aoki was dumbfounded. Isn't this the hourglass model of time that Professor Mei discussed with him?

There is less and less sand in the upper triangular pyramid, and more and more sand in the lower triangular pyramid. When the amount of sand below surpassed above, the energy fluctuation of the plane connecting the two cones became more and more severe. It didn't take long for the two cones to twist and exchange positions.

The triangular pyramid with more sand ran to the top, and the less one went below, and the sand continued to flow from the top to the bottom.

Of course, this is in a dream. There is no real gravity in the dream space. The so-called up and down here is just a concept, but visually, what Aoki sees is like this, a bit like a delicate mechanism, subject to similar buoyancy. The effect, when the balance of power between the two ends changes, it will be reversed.

It's like throwing a half-filled gourd into the water. The heavy part must be underneath, while the empty part floats on the water. But if there is a mechanism to pump water from the inside of the gourd and pump the water from the lower part to the upper part, then when the weight of the upper part exceeds the weight of the lower part, the gourd will turn upside down.

After the two triangular pyramids were turned upside down, because it was different from the beginning, the triangular pyramid at the bottom was empty at the beginning, and there was sand in the two cones at the moment, but the upper one was more, so the sand did not flow for long. The amount of sand in the sand exceeded the above, and the two cones turned upside down again.

In this way, the two triangular pyramids kept turning upside down, and the transition time became shorter and shorter. In the end, they became like a windmill, and they kept turning and turning there.

Perpetual motion machine?

Aoki knew that it was not difficult to create such an effect in a dream, because the dream space did not follow the physical laws of the real world. But if there is no such memory, how can such a thing be created in a dream?

What is the sacredness of this young and beautiful old lady?

"Are you from the Alliance?" he asked.

Cuan Yifang smiled and nodded: "You are here, I can finally go."

Aoki found that the mental power of the old lady's consciousness was weakening, and quickly used his own mental power to protect her, and asked, "Wait, what are you waiting for me to do? What is hiding here?"

Cuan Yifang said, "Don't you know?"

Aoki shook his head, he really didn't know.

Cuan Yifang said: "Then ask, but I may not be able to answer. I am just my own residual consciousness. I have left a little memory and obsession in the sea of ​​knowledge of my granddaughter~lightnovelpub.net~ I can't help it. Tell you all."

Aoki knew that Cuan Yifang was right. When the old lady was dying (perhaps earlier), she did not know what magical method she used to strip her consciousness out a bit and block her granddaughter, Yao's mother. In a dream space of. Therefore, this part of Yao's mother's memory cannot be retrieved, because this dream space has not collapsed at all, but has been hidden and turned into a dark area.

"What are you hiding here?" he asked.

"This is a key that our Cuan family has guarded for generations."

"Key? What key?"

"The key to the Holy Land."

"What holy place?"

"Awakening Holy Land."

"What is the Holy Land of Awakening?"
