Chapter 297

Although the crow is sometimes unreliable, Aoki knows that it never falls off the chain at a critical moment. In terms of mental strength, the cat may not be weaker than the crow, but the crow has experienced the battlefield and love field for a long time. The bird has more than a special ability of strong mental strength. In addition, it has a mouth that can grind all his life into a bad temper. It should not be difficult to stabilize the white cat.

Aoki stepped into the dark area with peace of mind.

After a short period of nothingness, it suddenly opened up. There was a depression with sparse crops. Next to it were several low houses, which looked like rural houses decades ago.

Aoki remembers that he saw this place in Yao's mother's dream. This should be Yao's mother's hometown. She lived here with her grandmother when she was a child.

In the distance, I couldn't see clearly, but the doors of those houses were open. Aoki stepped across the depression and went directly into the house.

In the room sat a woman, dressed in a rich blue cheongsam, with a beautiful face and grace.

Aoki felt familiar and carefully distinguished. He found that the woman's face was somewhat similar to Yao Jingjing, but it was obviously not Yao Jingjing or Yao's mother. Moreover, there is a trace of residual spiritual power on this woman, that is to say, she is not what mother Yao dreamed of, but a conscious body with independent consciousness like the cat. But her consciousness is very weak, not as strong as that cat.

"You're here at last," said the woman.

Aoki Leng said, "do you know I'm coming?"

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

Aoki said, "since you knew someone was coming and have been waiting, why did you let the cat guard outside and keep people from coming in?"

The woman said, "the only person I want to wait for is to break through the guard of the white cat."

Aoki seemed to understand something and said, "that cat... Was tamed by you?"

The woman nodded and said, "yes."

"Are you the old lady of Cuan?" Aoki remembered that Yao's mother said that their surname was Cuan, and they were surnamed after her grandmother. Now this dream should be Cuan village.

"Old lady?" the woman was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "yes, yes, I should have thought that I would be very old when you came. Maybe my granddaughter is already old!"

She smiled for a while and said, "my name is Cuan Yifang. The Cuan family in Cuan Prefecture left me. It's broken here. I have to keep this thing that my ancestors looked at. Now that you come, I can go."

Aoki asked, "what are you guarding?"

Cuan Yifang said with a smile, "I can't tell you yet, because I don't know if you are the person I want to wait for. I must test you again."

"Test what?"

"Look what this is?"

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

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

The triangular pyramid rotates slowly, sending out circle by circle energy at its apex, forming a plane, like a rippling water surface.

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

Aoki immediately thought of the symbol of the awakened alliance. He had seen the triangle with the two vertices connected more than once, but he saw such a three-dimensional picture for the first time.

"Awakening alliance?"

He was so excited that he couldn't help touching the two triangular pyramids with mental force.

I don't know if the upper and lower spaces are different. The upper triangular pyramid is much darker than the lower color. The lower one is transparent, but the upper one is a little golden.

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

Boo——

Under the stimulation of his mental power, 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 thin vertical line.

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

The sand in the upper triangular pyramid is less and less, and the sand in the lower triangular pyramid is more and more. When the amount of sand below exceeds that above, the energy fluctuation of the plane where the two cones are connected becomes more and more severe. Before long, the two cones twisted and exchanged positions.

The triangular pyramid with more sand runs to the top and less to the bottom, and the sand continues to flow from the top to the bottom.

Of course, this is in the dream. There is no real gravity in the dream space. The so-called up and down here is just a concept, but visually, Aoki sees this. It is a bit like a precise mechanism, which is affected by similar buoyancy. When the power contrast between the two ends changes, it will turn upside down.

It's like throwing a gourd with half water into the water. The heavy part must be below, and the empty part floats on the water. However, 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, the gourd will turn upside down when the weight of the upper part exceeds the lower part.

After the two pyramids are inverted, because different from the beginning, the lower pyramids are empty at the beginning. At the moment, there is sand in both pyramids, but there is more on the top. Therefore, after a short time of sand flow, the sediment storage below exceeds that on the top, and the two pyramids are inverted again.

In this way, the two triangular pyramids kept turning upside down, and the conversion time became shorter and shorter. In the end, they became like windmills, turning and turning all the time.

Perpetual motion machines?

Aoki knows that it is not difficult to create such an effect in the dream, because the dream space does not follow the physical laws of the real world. But if there is no such memory, how can you create such things in your dreams?

Who is this beautiful young woman?

"Are you from the alliance?" he asked.

Cuan Yifang smiled and nodded, "you're here. I can finally go."

Aoki found that the old lady's residual mental power was weakening. He quickly protected her with his mental power and asked, "wait, what are you waiting for me to do? What's hidden 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'm just my own residual consciousness. I left a little memory and obsession in my granddaughter's knowledge. I can't tell you all."

Aoki knew that long Yifang was right. When the old lady was dying (maybe earlier), she used some magical method to peel off her consciousness and block it in a dream space of her granddaughter, Yao's mother. Therefore, this part of Yao's mother's memory cannot be retrieved, because the dream space did not collapse at all, but was hidden and became a dark area.

"What are you hiding here?" he asked.

"This is a key that our long family has been guarding for generations."

"Key? What key?"

"The key to the holy land."

"What holy land?"

"The holy land of awakening."

"What is the holy land of awakening?"
