This is the second magic? Parallel world interference? ”

Yakumo Zi also became serious, the style just now was undoubtedly amazing, and it had already surpassed the realm of people, and even she had to be cautious.

"It's not really a second magic...... It can only be said that it is partial, this style of sword technique reproduces a limited amount of magic phenomenon, which is essentially the same, but it is only a part of the limit. ”

Xia Ran lowered the ebony blade in his hand, shook his head, and said in an unusually calm mood.

It's not that he pretends to be calm after pretending to be forced, but in fact, his heart is so cool that it explodes, but he is really calm now, maintaining a clear and quiet heart.

Because every time he performed Yan Hui's sword technique, he would personally experience something indescribable, as if it was the context of the world, the truth at the end...... That's right! Whenever he wields this magic sword, he can always see the shadow of "Li......

Although it's just a rough outline, it's always foggy and can't see clearly, hazy, but you can't see it, and it's two different things from not seeing clearly-

Others are not sure whether something exists at all, or even whether they are pursuing the right direction, or they have spent their entire lives and ended up with nothing on the road.

Xia Ran, on the other hand, has seen and determined the existence of the road, but he has not yet been able to completely unveil its mystery...... The disparity is nothing short of extraordinary.

Anyway, every time he saw a part of the "reason", even if it was only a part of the whole, it was the tip of the iceberg, because he was not able to fully see its context, so he could not master the complete magic and find the complete path through it.

But the impact of this kind of peeping leopard in the tube is more or less existing.

For example, every time he felt that he had comprehended something, that he had briefly reached the spiritual realm of a mirror stopping water, and that he was able to look at everything quietly and with a clear mind, and not be moved by external objects...... It's just that the duration is a little short, and it's only a change in mentality, which can't inspire him or give him any inspiration.

"Is there a realm that does not exist? Actual situation? Yes or no...... Maybe it has something to do with it, but it's not ......"

Yakumo Zi seemed to understand something at this time, but she didn't seem to be sure of anything, she lowered her head and slightly spread the folding fan to cover the lower half of her beautiful face, frowning and muttering something to herself, her expression was slightly complicated.

“……”

“……”

Xia Ran waited quietly for her statement, and did not speak rashly.

Some things can only be understood but not spoken, and outsiders generally scoff at this statement, thinking that it is simply a trick and a pretense of profundity, but in fact, there is no goods in the stomach and naturally cannot be poured out...... It can only be said that those who don't understand really will never understand.

If Xia Ran could clearly describe his feelings and experiences, and describe the "reason" he saw and the path behind it...... If he could do such a thing, it would mean that he had already mastered the second magic, and there was no need to fight Yakumo Purple here.

In fact, it was because he only had some general experiences and vague perceptions, and there was no way to form a prototype at all, so he was forced to ask for help from this big monster who controlled the realm.

"I have some ideas at the moment, but I can't explain them to you for ......the time being," the youkai girl shook her head after a long silence.

"Why?" Xia Ran asked very calmly, he didn't think that Yayun Zi didn't know anything, he was just bluffing him, and he didn't feel that the other party was waiting for the price to sell something, which was completely meaningless.

So there must be her own reasons.

"Because, I do have some ideas, but my ideas may not be suitable for you...... No, it's definitely not suitable for you, after all, even if there is a similarity between my ability and the phenomenon of the sword technique you just showed, the principle must be different......"

Yakumo Zi didn't hide it, and gave her reasons very happily.

"So even if I tell you directly, it won't help you in any way, and you either don't understand what I'm talking about, which is better. But if you don't know anything about it, and then you have some kind of preconceived misconception, you may never be able to get back on the right path......"

At this point, she paused a little and asked this question-

"Why do you think you can't describe to me in detail what you feel?"

"Huh?"

Xia Ran was slightly stunned, but then he immediately understood, and nodded understandingly.

"That's right, it seems that you have found out, and there is no way to describe exactly what you are feeling, and I am the same......"

The monster girl explained with a smile.

"It's just that you can't explain it because you can't figure out what you're seeing, and I'm because I know it very well, so I know there's no way to tell you......"

Because Xia Ran was looking at flowers in the fog, he didn't know what he saw in the end, so he couldn't say his specific feelings.

And Yakumo Zi clearly knew what he saw, but he knew even more that what he saw could not be directly used as a reference for Xia Ran, or even clearly described.

Because for her, the realm is an image that can be reached, a power that can be manipulated at will, like an arm and a finger.

But for Xia Ran, the realm is a vague and abstract concept, and there is no way for him to get the kind of experience that Yakumo Zi has, no matter how hard Yakumo Zi tries to describe it, he can't understand it.

——The so-called summer insects can't talk about ice, and the Tao is different.

It's not about despising anything, it's about telling reality.

For a bug with a lifespan of only a few months in summer, it will not know what ice is, and it will not be able to imagine it, because its life cycle never goes through winter.

In the same way, compared to a realm demon like Yakumo Zi, Xia Ran is like a natural blind person, no matter how the former describes to him what the color is, what the light and shadow are, he can only stay at the stage of description-

Because as a real blind person, Xia Ran has never been able to really see light, shadow and color, and he doesn't have that concept in his mind at all.

"It seems that you are on the wrong path, and you don't realize the problem......"

The ebony blade in Xia Ran's hand disappeared, and he thought about it seriously, this road seemed to be full of hope, but because of some practical problems, it was blocked before it started?

The big youkai who has the ability related to the root and can manipulate the realm at will should have really discovered some key points after he personally demonstrated the multi-dimensional twists and turns through his sword skills.

However, he himself is like a person who is congenitally lacking in certain sensory organs, and naturally has no way to receive certain information from the external environment...... Could it be that before achieving one's goal, one has to think about how to make oneself able to manipulate the realm?

Wait, wait, this doesn't seem right, I always feel that this kind of beginning will definitely make me go further and further......

What does that mean?

- At first, I only wanted to make myself a beautiful knife, but I realized that I didn't understand it, so I went to read a book on metal materials. Then I found that this thing also needed chemical knowledge and physics knowledge, so I went to look at these two materials. And then I found out again......

Anyway, it was an inexplicable circle, and as a result, even ancient history can be verified, but the knife I wanted at the beginning was forgotten......

Xia Ran shook his head and dispelled this inexplicable thought in his mind, how could such a ridiculous thing happen to him? He looked up at the monster girl who was still thinking about something, as if he was struggling with how to get around this contradiction:

"That...... Can you show me a little bit about the power of the realm? ”

“……”

“……”

"Do you really have a way to feel it?"

Yakumo Zi glanced at him strangely, then restrained his expression, and said in a relaxed tone-

"Actually, some problems can be solved by time, although I am the only one who can manipulate the realm, but there are many existences in Gensokyo who can perceive the power of my realm, such as the flower demon in the Sun Flower Field, many times can break the law with force......"

The implication is that in fact, Xia Ran doesn't need to be in a hurry at all, as long as he grows to that level, he will naturally touch that level.

"Let's try it first......" Xia Ran smiled disappreciatively, "And if it really comes to that time, I think I may have solved this problem, and at that time, what is the need to worry about the realm or not?" ”

The monster girl stared at him for a moment, then nodded knowingly: "If you insist......"

Tuk Tuk Tuk –

There was a knock on the door, and Saber's voice rang out outside the door: "Master, the night and supper are ready......"

"Ah......h......h Don't worry, it won't take a few days, didn't you say you want to go to Gensokyo? ”

"Uh...... This, I originally wanted to ask you for advice, so I was going to Gensokyo, but now that we've reached a consensus, I don't need it, right? Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, and then quickly shook his head.

"Oh? This is not yet crossed...... Are you ready to tear down the bridge? ”

The youkai girl covered her face with a folding fan, and her dark golden eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

Xia Ran: "......"

……

……

The next day, in the afternoon.

On the east side of the fourth floor of the Special Building, in the activity room of the Ministry Department.

"I'm coming...... "Snow appeared in front of the door on time, and went straight to the point, "Do you want to go now?" How do we get to Moriya Shrine, take the train to the city center first, or some other way......"

Xia Ran, who was sitting in the seat, raised his head and hesitated for a moment before replying, "There is no need to go to Shouya Shrine anymore......"

"Why? You're not going to Gensokyo? Under the snow frowned, she was ready.

"You're going to go...... It's just that I don't need to look for the two at Shouya Shrine anymore, and that youkai sage came to me last night. Xia Ran sighed, if he could, he didn't want to go.

Last night?

The eyes under the snow were slightly condensed, but when he saw that Saber on the side did not show anything unusual, and the person concerned seemed to have a headache, he immediately relaxed......

The girl bowed slightly, sat down opposite the magician, glanced at the tarot cards on the other party's table, and asked, "Then what are you doing now?" ”

"Divination! Although I have only learned about this knowledge and have not practiced it, and I don't seem to be the kind of person who is gifted, it should still be possible to hold Buddha's feet temporarily......"

Xia Ran replied as a matter of course, he was trying to judge whether his next fate was in danger in this way.

He took a strange look under the snow, and found that the card spread out in front of him was a "tower"-

A towering tower was destroyed by lightning, and two men fell from the collapsing tower to the ground.

This card is the only Grand Arcana that doesn't have a good meaning on both sides.
