Chapter Twenty-Four: Life History
I listened to a fairy tale, according to Lao Liu's story, this world is not only the world we see, but also a fairy world, of course, now called the other world. Since ancient times, the two worlds have intersected, and the immortals will come down to our world from time to time, and they call our world the human world.
Immortals are people who have the ability to fly to the sky and move mountains and seas, so they think highly of themselves and regard human life as a mustard. The emperors of all dynasties were quite wary of them. There are wars between the two realms from time to time.
Longshou Mountain has been a boundary between the two worlds of humans and immortals since ancient times. Because of the large population of the human world, and the creation of new weapons from time to time, and the entry of immortals into the human world has certain restrictions, the human world has an advantage in the confrontation with the immortal world.
The Xu family of Longshou Mountain, since the Song Dynasty led the troops into the fairy world, was named the general of the expedition to the sky, and guarded the three passes of the fairy world for the human world. The three passes include Longshou City, Lingqian Pass and Longshou Pass, all of which are already in the territory of the fairy world.
Later, the emperors of all dynasties crowned the Xu family as the heavenly master, and the Xu family of each generation guarded the three levels of the immortal world for the human world. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the human world withered, and the three levels were recaptured by the fairy world. In the Republic of China, the immortals came frequently, grabbed the children back to the fairy world, and the fairy beasts fed on people, and the country was weak, and reached an agreement with the immortals, sending countless refugees into the fairy world, and most of them became the food of the fairy beasts.
At that time, the Xu family had already declined, but the old lady was still there, and in a fit of anger, he closed the passage and suppressed the enchantment. It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that the new government took over the record of the Renxian War, and the Xu family was used again, requiring no kneeling, no compromise, no confrontation with the fairy world, and actively seeking negotiations.
But several negotiations broke up unhappily under the wide opening of the fairy lion and the naked contempt for the human world, so when the fairy world once again arrested a large number of people, the war broke out.
"Your parents died in this war. Lao Liu said.
I smiled and said, "It's a good story, I read my grandfather's record, the war was before I was born, my parents died before that, so I jumped out of the cracks in the rocks?"
Lao Liu didn't speak, looked at me and smiled, took out a cigarette and lit it and smoked.
I sneered and said, "Okay, tell me what my identity is, why I was secretly protected by the state, and the shadow of my ancestors would not be monitored and protected for more than 40 years." ”
He stared at me for a while, and then said slowly, "You are the only immortal on record so far. ”
My hand holding the cup trembled a little, and soon I calmed my mind. "What do you mean?"
Lao Liu smiled and said, "Your parents should not have died at that time, and later gave birth to you in the fairy world, so you are called an immortal." And you're the only one who can traverse both realms without any gear. ”
I laughed, but Lao Liu continued: "You were sent back by an immortal, saying that Xianshuai paid tribute to your parents and his old rival Xu family for many years, so he sent you back." ”
I stopped laughing and said, "I'm hungry, get something to eat." ”
Lao Liu smiled and said: "I can write a book for the story I told you today, remember to show it to me when you write it, and you won't be charged for the copyright fee." ”
I smiled and said, "Okay, okay." ”
Lunch is served in the village committee's canteen, where virtually all the lonely elderly and left-behind children in the village eat. According to Lao Liu, Miao Min made it very clear when she gave the money that in the future, these old people and children who no one took care of will be raised by her.
The old people respected me very much, and an old man with an eyebrow ten centimeters long brought a bottle of wine from home, poured me a glass, and raised his glass tremblingly to clink glasses with me.
I took the wine glass and drank it all, but he said, "After the Xu family has it, we are all ecstatic." ”
I smiled and toasted the old people one by one, but they didn't listen to me, but they had to stand up and drink respectfully.
At the end of the short vacation, Lao Liu handed me a box before sending me to the car, patted me on the shoulder and said, "You were born different, and the country takes care of you all you deserve, don't have any burden." Now the state has a special agency to deal with those fake immortals, and there is no need for the Xu family to shed any more blood. Be a good ordinary person, come back and see when you have time. ”
I shook his hand and said, "I'm just curious, I can't help a chicken like I am now." ”
Back on Shunhe Street, Xiao Xu and Xiao Ling were packing up at home, they went to the beach for a trip and came back with a few large bags of gifts.
I put the box given by Lao Liu on the dining table and told them, take them all, I have no place to put them here. Xiao Xu pouted and was about to leave, I threw the spare car keys to him and said to the two of them: "There is bacon and a little game in the car, bring some back to Xiao Ling's parents." ”
Xiao Ling thanked me happily and pulled Xiao Xu downstairs.
I sat on the sofa and sighed, and began to clean up the mess on the table on the ground, this is all the children's wishes, if not, take it to Lao Fan's daughter-in-law to give it away.
Then there was a knock on the door, and I opened the door and said, "Come back just in time, take some of your things with you." ”
opened the door, but there was Lao Fan's daughter-in-law standing at the door.
I looked behind her, but Lao Fan was not there, so I had to smile and say, "You came just in time, Xiao Xu, they brought some things back, you take some back." ”
But she walked to the living room with a cold face and sat down on the sofa.
I walked to the living room, smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
She patted the armrest of the couch, looked up and said, "You know all about my relationship with Coco?"
I sat down on the sofa next to me, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, then smiled and said, "Your work is the love given to me by the country, I am very happy and thank you." ”
She sneered twice and said, "I'm working, Wang Keke isn't, she retired ten years ago." ”
I propped my elbows on the couch, took a puff on my cigarette, spit it out, and watched the smoke drift out of the balcony without speaking.
She continued: "She is Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today, but she is still willingly guarding you and thinking about you wholeheartedly. ”
I heard that this was not right, so I quickly extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray and said, "What's wrong with her?"
Lao Fan's daughter-in-law said angrily: "For the sake of who you are, she went to the other world alone to find the truth." ”
I stood up with a "rub" and said, "Which otherworld?"
Knowing that she had lost her words, she stood up and walked away in a huff.
I took out my mobile phone and called Lao Liu, the phone was connected, and Lao Liu's calm voice came: "What call did you make when you just left?"
I asked, "Wang Keke, did you just take Xiao Xu to recognize the woman who returned to your ancestors to you?"
He said, "No, how do you ask this?"
I said, "She went to the other world to track down my origins, where else can she go in but you?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Lao Liu said in a deep voice: "She is an executor, she has her own way to get in, and she can get out if she goes in, why are you in a hurry." ”
I whispered, "Can you take me in?"
He was silent for a moment and said, "This place is strictly a military control zone. ”
I just hung up.
I went to the study, turned on the computer, went to my exclusive server, and sent Hans a message with a clear video.
After a moment, Hans's smirking head flickered.
Clicking on the video, Hans's big face, with messy hair and sleepy eyes, appeared in front of me.
"Brother Xu, what time is it, why are you in such a hurry?" said Hans, wiping his saliva.
"One hundred thousand urgent things, do you know the other world, or the fairy world?" I asked.
"China's Wonderland? We call it the Divine Domain here, and of course I know that I have a brother who has been there. He laughs.
"How did you get in?" I asked.
"From the secret realm of the gods in the Albers. He said.
"Can you take me in?" I asked.
"Ononono. He said three nos in a row, and then said: "It's too dangerous in there, there are gods and generals everywhere, and there are man-eating monsters, and even ordinary people are superhumans, and the earth's gravity and air quality there are different from the earth's, and you have to die if you go in without special equipment." ”
I held out a finger and said, "Ten million." ”
His eyes widened and he said, "What do you want to do? You want God's ribs too?"
I spread my palms and said, "Fifty million." Without waiting for him to reply, I continued, "My woman has gone in." ”
Hans's face became grim, he was silent for a few seconds, and said, "I don't need money, after all, the benefits of entering the god realm are the same as the risks. But Xu, there may not be many of my brothers who are willing to go in. ”
I said, "50 million for your brother who is willing to go, you prepare the equipment of 100 people, I will give the money, and I will find the people." ”
He nodded and turned off the video.
I closed the video and sent a message to Qiao Zhijun: Eighty commandos were selected, fully armed, and the Alps were waiting for me.
After a while, Qiao Zhijun replied to the message, only two short words: received.
At this time, a text message came from the mobile phone, I picked up the mobile phone, but it was sent by Lao Liu: You contacted Xiao Zeng, it was in Africa, he was sent to Africa by his superiors to protect you, and now he is retired.
My head was dizzy, and the military sent someone to protect me, I'm a giant panda?
hung up a phone call to Beijing to ask the leader for leave, and the leader smiled and said: "Lao Xu, it's okay to ask for leave, you haven't taken annual leave for several years, give you a month off." ”
Thanks to the leader, I hung up the phone,
Suddenly remembering the box that Lao Liu gave me, I walked over and opened it, and inside was my grandfather's bayonet and those two ancient books.
I put these things into the box one by one, walked to the balcony and smoked a cigarette, and said silently in my heart to the full moon in the sky: Wang Keke, wait for me.
Early the next morning, I was on my plane to Switzerland.
A dozen hours later, I met Hans, Qiao Zhijun and Xiao Zeng in a small town under the Alps.
We were in a castle owned by Hans, with more than a hundred people standing in the hall, but it was still spacious.
After hugging them one by one, I stood on the table and said to the people below, "Brothers, this time I entered a foreign realm for my private affairs, and I may be in danger and even lose my life. If you don't want to participate, you can withdraw now, and I will give you 10,000 yuan for the journey. Those who are willing to participate will receive one million per person, and in the unfortunate event of death, five million funeral expenses. ”
Hans laughed and said, "Old Xu, my brother, I have long wanted to go and see the other world, and I took this opportunity to go on a trip and destroy the prestige of those false gods by the way." The small group of big men behind him burst out laughing.
Qiao Zhijun, who was wearing a camouflage beret and a camouflage uniform, put his feet together and shouted: "It is our glory to fight with the chosen one. ”
The neatly organized black buddies standing behind him raised their hands together and shouted, "Glory, glory, glory." ”
Xiao Zeng, who was dressed in the same costume as them, said with a smile: "Brother Xu, you are called a cloud-piercing arrow, and thousands of troops will come to meet you." ”
I was excited, after all, every man has a heroic dream, and being able to lead the army to break through the other world and save his own woman also makes my blood boil as a middle-aged otaku.
Calming down, I jumped off the table and said to Hans, "Then ask your brother to tell me about the situation in the other world." ”
A bald man with a height of more than 1.8 meters jumped on the table and said in English: "Brothers, my name is Robinson, a former GSG9 member. Ten years ago, I followed the army into the Otherworld, which is the paradise of the gods. It is a different world from ours, the oxygen content in the air is less than 15%, and the atmospheric pressure is twice that of the earth, so you must wear a breathing apparatus and install exoskeleton armor to enter the other world. ”
After a pause, he continued: "There are two kinds of people in the other world, one is the self-proclaimed gods, they look like us, but they are very tall and large, and their body density is very high, and they can only be killed with special armor-piercing bullets. They move quickly, have a long stamina, and some have wings and are able to fly. There was a buzz from the crowd.
Robinson raised his hand, the crowd fell silent, and he smiled and said, "But they are few and stupid, and they don't know how to use thermal weapons." There are some people in the ordinary Otherworldly army who can do magic, can emit thunder and lightning or fireballs, they are ordinary people like us, except for a little more strength, the others are almost exactly like us, these people act as soldiers. ”
"But the most dangerous thing is the beast. He said with a serious face: "Strange beasts are some strange beasts, and their main food is people. ”
The crowd became agitated, and Robinson continued, "Some of the beasts are the pets of the gods, and some are wild. Very ferocious and violent, not only eating our earth's people, but also their own people. The gods of the other world, who keep humans in captivity, are mainly for food, and they also eat people. ”
The crowd was excited, the black buddies were okay, and the people under Hans all scolded, as if they couldn't wait to kill into the other world, slashing those who called themselves "gods".
Hans handed me a cigarette, took one himself, lit it, took a puff, and said to me with a stern face: "My men have all fought, and tomorrow Robinson and I will lead the team to explore the way, and you will lead the team to the formation." I nodded and hugged him hard. He turned his head and said to Xiao Zeng: "You are a master, protect my brother." Xiao Zeng also became serious, and solemnly gave a military salute to Hans, and Hans raised his hand to return the salute.
