Chapter 110 Dreaming of the Broken Swords
Chapter 110: Dreaming of the Broken Swords (Part )
Main storyline:
[You: (Surprised) Lanke Mountain?!]
[You: (with a hesitant look) Are you talking about... the legendary Lan Ke Mountain?]
When you heard this name unexpectedly, your eyes widened in surprise. You didn't react for a moment and wondered whether the "Lan Ke Mountain" that Jinchen was talking about was the famous mountain in Zhejiang Province of China, or the Lan Ke Fairy Mountain that has been passed down in the legend.
But after you come back to your senses, you feel that someone like Jinchen would not casually mention a real tourist attraction to you...
What's more, in scenic spots like this, there are always as many tourists as dumplings - with so many people and a mixed atmosphere, you probably won't be able to find the obsession or "five-colored silk" that you need.
[Jinchen: (smiles) Of course it is the legendary Lan Ke Mountain.]
[Jin Chen: However, you are not a cultivator, so if I want to take you directly to Lan Ke Xian Mountain, I am afraid it will be a bit troublesome.]
Having said this, the young man paused slightly, then continued speaking carefully.
[Jin Chen: Whether the gatekeeper fairy boy can let you in is another matter. As for life span, the flow of time on the fairy mountain is not the same as that on earth. One day on the mountain is equivalent to a hundred years on earth.]
[Jin Chen: (slightly frowning) So, if I really took your physical body with me... when we gather all the five-colored silk and leave the fairy mountain, by then, let alone repairing my physical body, it is hard to say whether this "museum" you are in now can still exist here.]
The more Jinchen spoke, the tighter his brows furrowed. As you listened to his words, you uncontrollably became more flustered.
——You can never afford the time difference of one day in the mountains and one hundred years in the human world. If the time difference could be reversed, you could still accept it if you said you would not leave.
After all, in addition to the work you love, there are parents and friends in this world who care about you and whom you care about. If you really leave and disappear for a hundred or eighty years, what will happen then?
This won't do. If the price of going to Lan Ke Xian Mountain and repairing the fragments of Han brocade is to accept the time difference of one day and one hundred years, then you would rather not have this honor.
——You are not blessed with such a wonderful opportunity anyway, so leave it to other talented people.
[You: (slightly flustered) Well, well, well... Master Jinchen, besides the method you just mentioned, do we have any other way to get to Lan Ke Xian Shan?]
[You: (pretending to be regretful) If not, then I’m afraid…]
——I’m afraid I can’t help you!
You thought about it with regret, and a bit of regret appeared on your face.
To be honest, if time was not a constraint, you would really like to go with Jinchen to see the "Lan Ke Xian Shan" that has always existed only in legends, and see if this immortal paradise is really different from the famous mountains and rivers you have visited before...
But now the situation is——
Alas. It seems that all you can do is look up to the sky and sigh, "It's fate."
You secretly complained in your heart, but Han Jin's spirit over there heard this and his brows relaxed, and he put on that calm and relaxed smile as usual.
[Jinchen: (with a relaxed expression) Please be patient and calm - this is exactly what I want to tell you.]
[Jin Chen: (bowing) Just as I said before, the times in the mountains are different from those in the human world, and you are neither a cultivator nor alone in the human world. It is not reasonable for me to take you directly to Lan Ke Mountain.]
[Jinchen: So, we can dream about Lan Ke.]
Han Jinjingpo smiled and uttered a new word, and your face immediately tightened even more after hearing it.
[You: (hesitantly) Dreaming of a broken chess piece?]
[Jinchen: (Nods) Yes, I dreamed of it.]
[Jinchen: (laughing) Everyone knows about "Nan Ke's Dream", but few know that Lan Ke Mountain can also be dreamed of - the so-called "dreaming of Lan Ke" means that I can use the secret method of the mountain to temporarily extract your soul from your body and take your soul to the mountain gate.]
Jinchen patiently explained to you what "dreaming of the rotten chess pieces" meant, but as you listened, you always felt as if he was fooling a child.
——Of course, you, who are just in your twenties, are indeed just a child who has been "weaned" not long ago in front of this two thousand year old monster.
[Jinchen: During the time when your soul leaves your body, your body will fall into a deep sleep. At the same time, because your soul has left your body, the impact of "time" on you and the feelings it brings to you will no longer be the same as before.]
[Jinchen: In other words, under the blessing of the secret method in the mountains, from the moment your soul left your body, "time" for you was infinitely close to stagnation. Even if we stayed in the mountains for a year or two, after we came back, for you and others, you just slept a little longer.]
What Jinchen said sounds good, but you always feel that there seems to be something unclear.
So you didn't rush to answer, but just stared at Jinchen's eyebrows for a long time. After a while, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to your mind - you felt that you seemed to have finally found the "blind spot" in his words.
[Are we still going to the real "Lan Ke Mountain"? (Select this option to jump down to branch line 1.)]
[Are you sure that the "soul leaving the body" thing has no effect on someone like me who has not practiced at all? (Select this option to jump down to branch 2.)]
(Note: This branch line only affects the game values and the acquisition of props, and does not affect the normal development of the main line. That is, no matter which branch line the player chooses here, he will not die. Please choose the subsequent line according to your own ideas.)

Branch 1:
[You: (lowers your eyes) Like this.]
You lowered your brows thoughtfully, and after a while you thought about it and asked a new question.
[You: (with a puzzled look on your face) If you put it that way, there is one thing I don’t quite understand, Master Jinchen.]
[You: (carefully reviewing what Jinchen said before) According to what you just said, Lan Ke Mountain was originally a blessed place for immortals. One day in the mountain is equivalent to about a hundred years in the human world.]
[You: Since there is such a huge time difference between the two places... then I think this thing is also difficult to be affected, or difficult to be completely reversed.]
[You: (alert) If that’s the case, then why did you just say that you could completely reverse this time difference by using a secret method to lead my soul out of my body?]
You pointed out the biggest and most difficult problem to understand in the young man's words in your eyes.
[You: Is this because my understanding of the word "time" is completely different from yours... or is it because, in my out-of-body state, the place we are about to go to is not the legendary "Lan Ke Mountain" at all?]
[You:——Is the one you plan to take with you the real Lan Ke Mountain?]
