Chapter 288: Strange Things
"In this sense, this is not a fabrication, there may be black magic and white magic, and warlocks and witchcraft. β
Gu Yu closed the book and muttered to himself: "Artistic creation comes from the foundation of life, think about our Xianxia, although exaggerated, it can be regarded as well-founded." β
He stood up slowly, and the book in his hand suddenly disappeared, and in an instant it appeared on the bookshelf next door.
This is the most popular fantasy book in the West, set in the Kingdom of Great Britain, telling the story of a group of little magicians defeating a big monster. And in the bookshelf, there are many similar works, some depicting elven dwarves, some depicting dragon lichs, some studying alchemists, and so on.
After Gu Yu replied to Wang Qi, he had been preparing his homework at home and flipped through the relevant classics. He also found an interesting thing: there may not be gods in the Western transcendent world, but some folklore, or rumors of real people in history, are not necessarily false.
For example, Nicolas Flamel, a native of Gaul, was a famous alchemist of the 14th century and is regarded as the grandfather of European alchemy.
He is best known for creating the Philosopher's Stoneβyes, the Philosopher's Stone from Harry Bobo, which is said to turn mercury into gold and immortalize people.
Because in 1427, Flaim died in his hometown, and alchemists from all over the world dug into the ground to find the secret of the Philosopher's Stone, and as a result, the couple had nothing in their coffins.
In the centuries that followed, there were claims to have seen Mr. and Mrs. Nikolai......
It sounds lofty and exotic, but if you think about it carefully, is this routine very familiar? Is it different from our legends of Ge Hong, Ye Fashan, and Sa Shoujian?
So, since we have the legacy of our ancestors, there is no reason for them to completely hit the streets.
"Squeak!"
Gu Yu pushed open the door and saw that the courtyard was silent, there was no one under the tree, and the two little ones didn't know where to play.
He didn't bother to look for it, so he swooped three inches off the ground and took a few steps. In an instant, the whole person was blurred in the air, leaving only a faint pale white mist, like a flowing cloud flying roll, floating out of half a mile at once.
The meditation hall was forty minutes away from the practice ground, and in just a few minutes, this light mist arrived in the middle of the field.
"Hoo ......"
The mountain breeze blew, the white mist was filled, and it slowly turned into a figure.
Gu Yu landed on his feet, feeling the steadiness and heaviness under his feet, and couldn't help but be very satisfied. With the help of the Refining Form Benefit Divine Pill, the cultivation speed of a family of four is rising.
He is the most obvious, just like the "Split Void Shadow Technique" just cast, whether it is the special effect of Wumao or the duration, it is much stronger than when he was in Changbai Mountain.
The real pretending to be like the wind, always with me!
Of course, it was also a little lost - Xiao Zhai was sitting not far away, and he didn't hang it.
β¦β¦
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
Gu Yu knocked a pill, and as soon as he digested it and let out a long breath, he heard someone shouting urgently. And then, Long Qiu ran up and said, "Great, you're all here!"
"What's wrong?" asked Xiao Zhai.
"There's a big monster out there, it seems to be amazing!"
Long Qiu took out his mobile phone and handed it to the two of them, but it was the communication section of the APP, and a message was released by the official for the first time:
"Recently, in the area of Tianhua Mountain-Five Dragons' Back, an unknown beast was discovered. This beast has a large range of activities, often moves across regions, has strong attack power, and is good at eating people. At present, eight people have died and 13 have been injured. β
ββ¦β¦β
Gu Yu frowned and asked, "Are there any other measures?"
"People have been sent to guard the mountain, and the foot of the mountain is full of protective nets, and the government has organized several teams to enter the mountain. Many local people are clamoring to move, and some go to the province to petition. β
Sweat!
The word petition felt strange to come out of her mouth.
It is said that Huashan was on the edge of the jurisdiction of Dongyun City that day, and it was close to the back of the five dragons of Shengtian. Wulongbei is also a small hill with hot springs, which is a very popular attraction.
As mentioned earlier, from Shengtian to the southeast, there are all mountainous areas. These mountains are all Changbai remnants, some large and some small, and they have been running through the two major cities.
Since the monster has a wandering habit, it will inevitably cause disasters everywhere, so it has to be managed.
But how?
Gu Yu thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Xiaoqiu, you go and deal with this matter." β
"Oh...... Huh?"
Long Qiu was just about to nod, but immediately reacted, and said uncertainly: "You let me go by myself?"
"Of course, you can't beat a brute?" Xiao Zhai asked.
"No, no, I ......"
The girl was worried at first, then excited, "Uh, then I'll try?"
"This is not a question sentence, this is an affirmative sentence, you go down the mountain immediately!" Gu Yu said.
"But I want to prepare!" Long Qiu was a little confused.
"There's no need to prepare, let's go!" Xiao Zhai also began to bombard.
"I don't know it yet...... Hey, brother and sister!"
The poor girl's resistance was ineffective, and she was kicked out by the two of them in minutes. Just kidding, it's easy to run into something, how can you not seize the opportunity to let her experience the experience?
Phoenix Mountain third, deal with an alienated beast, prepare a yarn!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Shengtian, Youth Street.
This street is one of the main roads in the city, and at night it is bustling with neon traffic and lights like it never sleeps. But since this month, the noise has been much quieter.
The electricity consumption is too great to be supplied.
"Brush!"
On the wide road, a white car sped by. This car belongs to a coupe, full of power and strong handling, and the old lady who drives is as leisurely and stable as a dog - it is Xiao Jin's mother, Yang Qing.
She just got her best looks with a few girlfriends and was about to go home, not to her husband's house, but to her own home. I had no choice, I had a fight with my husband in the morning, and I didn't want to take care of it, so I went to live in the house I bought.
"Good evening listeners and friends, welcome to listen to "Evening Bang Bang" on time, I am Xiangxiang. Before the show starts, let me remind you, in fact, a notice was issued a few days ago, due to the shortage of electricity in summer, the power outage began this month. At eight o'clock tonight, until six o'clock tomorrow morning, thirteen streets including Kunshan Road, Shenshan Railway, and Baishan Road will have temporary power outages, and I hope everyone is ready to ......"
When Yang Qing heard this, it happened to be the house, and he would buy two candles from the store downstairs in a while.
"Okay, at the beginning of today's program, let's talk about the Midyear Festival first. This year's Midyear Festival came relatively early, on August 8, that is, there are still ten days to go. This day is not unfamiliar, to pay tribute to the grave of the ancestors, to express mourning......"
There was a nonsense from the host on the radio, Yang Qing listened to it, but slowly lost his mind.
Her family is in Jiangnan, where the tradition is particularly well preserved, and there is her own family ancestral hall. In the past, she would worship with her elders on major festivals, but after marrying in the north, she rarely went back.
Her parents are no longer there, and she has an older brother in her hometown, taking care of her parents' graves. The host talked about this topic coldly, and for a moment pulled her thoughts out of the distance......
Sister, what about driving!
"Bang!"
It is conceivable that with the shock of the body, Yang Qing suddenly came back to his senses. Just listen to the sound of bang, as if something was pressed, and at the same time, the tire pressure monitoring reminds that the right rear tire pressure is insufficient.
"Crunch!"
She hurriedly stopped, got down to check, but ran over something like a tile, shattered, quite sharp, and pierced into the tire.
"Tsk!"
Yang Qingte was depressed, pulled out the fragment, and threw it aside. She looked around, this place was near Lilac Lake, far from the city, very remote.
There is an avenue in the middle, and construction sites are on both sides.
She had to call the police and ask her best friend for help, and then she still didn't understand her hatred, and then found the broken object and stepped on it a few times, and then she stopped.
