Chapter 55: There is no shadow in the middle of the day

Huang Quan scratched his head: "Wow, your father is too ruthless, as the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, but you Lao Tzu even wants to gnaw your bones clean." ”

"You are not allowed to say that about my father, it is not him at all. Bi Luo glanced at Huang Quan, "It's the Gu poison that Fu Ji gave me." ”

"Then you are so powerful, what kind of nominal disciple of the leader of the Witch Alliance, it is just a trivial matter to solve the Gu poison. ”

"Although this Gu poison is not very powerful, I have no antidote on my body, and I haven't found any herbs that can cure this Gu poison all the way, and I am trapped here at the moment, I don't know when I will be able to get out, I am afraid that I will not have time to rush back, and I will have died of poison. ”

"Are these Gu poisons so terrifying?"

"You keep saying you're a wizard, don't you know?"

"I really don't know, I never learned such a vicious skill. ”

"Hehe, what have you learned?"

"Save people. ”

"You don't even know Gu poison, what else do you learn to save people?" Bi Luo was in no mood to joke with Huang Quan at the moment, "Your master's level is really poor." ”

Huang Quan jumped down from the trunk, patted the dust on his hands, and said to Biluo, "Stretch out your hand." ”

"What are you going to do?" Bi Luo took a step back and looked at Huang Quan warily.

"I'll see you for a doctor, or you'll always think I'm bragging. Huang Quan said impatiently.

"Gu things sneak into the body, or in the internal organs, or in the limbs and hundreds of remains, there is no trace, even if it is a skilled doctor, it can't be found, if there is no antidote, when the Gu poison attacks, it will devour the five internal organs, and the intestines will rot through the stomach and die. ”

"Since it's hopeless, forget it......"

"Hmph, I already knew you were pretending. Biluo stretched out her hand to hit Huang Quan, but the latter flexibly dodged it, and took the opportunity to stretch out three fingers to catch her pulse, "Shh, calm down, I can diagnose you." Purity is the will to rule, and the responsibility of the yang is solid, although there are thieves and evils, Fu can harm also. ”

Bi Luo watched him close his eyes, his eyebrows were sometimes wrinkled and sometimes soothing, and he pretended to be for a while, thinking that he didn't know what the hell this magic stick was doing, alas, I was poisoned instead of losing my mind, why would I listen to him? After thinking about it, I felt that I couldn't deny people so much, this person was not surprised when he encountered trouble, and he was indeed outstanding.

"You're thinking about something messy in your head, and your pulse is very messy, and it's hard for me to do that, and if you can't get your pulse, you're scolding me for bragging again. Huang Quan muttered to Biluo.

"Isn't it?" Biluo's ears were very pointy, and he could hear what Huang Quan said clearly.

"Well, for a moment, when you're right. Huang Quan said and let go of Biluo's hand.

"Okay?" Biluo turned his wrist, puzzled.

"Okay, it's some evil wind entering the body, but it's not a big problem, just get out of this village, just grab some herbs for you and eat them." ”

"It's that simple, can I trust you?"

"You'll know then, but it's up to you whether you can get out of here early. Huang Quan yawned, walked back to the village first, walked a few steps, felt that he still had to say more, and stopped, "Actually, what if you can go back, if the amnesia is true, you forgot that you were poisoned, wouldn't it be worse?"

Biluo thought to herself, and was confused for a while, and walked away alone.

Huang Quan walked up to Huang Lian, who asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with my sister?"

"Upset, don't bother her. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to my brother. ”

Biluo has been with Huang Quan for the past two days, and when others saw them walking around the street with a small wooden box, they thought that the two of them were a little nervous, some of them hid far away, and some of the bold ones leaned over to try to figure out what they were doing.

Biluo didn't like to be disturbed by someone when she was doing things, and when she saw someone approaching, her face became displeased, Huang Quan pressed her shoulder, told her to relax, put her arm around the shoulders of those villagers, and walked to the side to chat.

Huang Quan talked to many villagers, but unfortunately still found nothing.

These villagers have no interest in outsiders, they don't want to know how they came here, they don't want to know how some people disappeared, and even if they disappear, they are not afraid, everyone is living in a muddy way, going out early and returning late every day, plowing the fields, farming, fishing, washing, cooking, and living.

What about the people who appeared out of nowhere, were they curious about the village, especially the people here, all of whom lived so long. When Huang Quan asked these questions, these villagers couldn't answer, and they just said that after a long time, they would become members of the village, and as a result, there was no difference between outsiders and insiders, and they were all villagers of the old village.

Biluo didn't dare to be interested in anything at this time, she just wanted to find the shadowless ghost as soon as possible and leave here, several times, she wanted to rush out of the village to see if she could go back from the outside, but fortunately Huang Quan stopped her in time and stopped this crazy behavior.

Huang Quan was also not idle, taking Huang Lian around the village, chatting with the villagers, or playing with the children. As the days passed, Huang Quan mysteriously woke up Bi Luo one morning, forcing her to drink a bowl of Chinese medicine, Bi Luo smelled the stinky smell, so she didn't want to drink it, and the two Huang Quan brothers threatened and coaxed her to let her pinch her nose and drink it.

Soon after drinking, Biluo felt that his stomach was as uncomfortable as the river and the sea, and he vomited out, with the filth that had not been digested last night, and the house was suddenly filled with a foul smell, and in this pile of vomit, there was a centipede struggling hard, and it was about to escape, and a male rooster swooped down from the side, and the iron mouth accurately grabbed it, and ran to the yard behind the house.

"This is ......." Biluo drank the boiled water handed over by Huang Lian and looked at Huang Quan suspiciously.

"What do you say?"

"So Gu poison really doesn't need to be poisoned, and I can detoxify myself?"

"As I said, I don't know what Gu poison is, but your body was invaded by the evil wind, thanks to that thing just now, and now that thing is no longer in your body, of course it's fine. ”

"Thank you. Biluo had never tried to thank Huang Quan before, and it always felt strange to mention these words to him.

"Hehe, don't thank me, you just found a suitable herb near the village, it's your own luck, it has nothing to do with me. ”

"Anyway, thank you, and I'll thank you when I get out of here. ”

"Let's talk about it when we can go out. Huang Quan said with a big grin.

In the next three or four days, Biluo has been walking around the village road with a gossip plate, stopping from time to time to record something, there is no pen and paper in the village, Biluo took the charcoal burned from the old master's house and made a mark on the green bricks, and the two brothers Huang Quan and Huang Lian would occasionally be caught and studied together.

In view of the fact that the villagers have no concept of time, Biluo made a simple hourglass to record the time, and later she found an hourglass from the former village chief's room, which is an hourglass with better accuracy, and Biluo used this hourglass instead.

According to Biluo's record of the speed of hourglass dripping in the past few days, the data recorded by watching the sunrise and sunset, and through the simple coronal measurement many times, Biluo has concluded that the time here is three moments slower than the normal time flow outside every day.

Not only that, Biluo also has a greater discovery, the direction of the village is also in a very small change every moment, today's position will deviate a little tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will deviate a little more, but the deviation route is extremely irregular, Biluo can not grasp its law.

But the research is basically over here, Biluo can't go any further, she has no clue at this time, but through this time, she found out that the former village chief was also doing the same thing as her, which gave her a lot of confidence that the plan she studied was correct. She repeatedly entered the house of the former village chief and rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find valuable clues.

The Huangquan brothers were pulled over, but the minds of the two were not here, there was good wine and good food waiting for them, they were not in a hurry to leave, Biluo had never seen anyone more casual than them, for fear that they would forget their roots, and reminded them many times not to forget that they were from Kyushu.

The two of them didn't care, saying that they weren't from Kyushu at all, but seeing Biluo working so hard, they couldn't bear to hurt her heart, and reluctantly lifted their spirits to help her search for clues.

Biluo took out a small strip of cloth from the secret compartment of the drawer, which was densely filled with the characters of the Great Xia Kingdom, Biluo handed it to Huang Quan, who took it, coughed, and read it out: "I know that time is short, so I write down the record and give it to the destined person." With the passage of time, the original memory of outsiders is gradually lost, and I gradually forget the experience of the Great Xia Kingdom is the evidence, in my memory, I was a villager of Changshou Village when I was a child, so outsiders will gradually assimilate into the people of the old village, and it is impossible to study the secret of immortality through the old village, and I hope that the later people will keep it in mind. The time and space of the village are inconsistent with Kyushu, it seems that only the moment when the two coincide with the outside world, can they be connected to the outside world, so as to pass through the two places, this is my speculation, unconfirmed, those who have the intention to leave can try. ”

"This former village chief is really confused, messy, what kind of stuff is written. Huang Quan handed the strip of cloth back to Biluo.

"No, what he said is true, you didn't notice that their memories are gradually blurred, I'm afraid this is assimilation. Only then did Biluo figure out why no one studied the secret of the longevity of the people in this village.

"Then why don't we have any impact at all?"

"There are reasons for this that we haven't understood yet. ”

"The appearance of the shadowless ghost, all living things can be sucked away, this is the moment when time and space coincide with the outside world, which shows that our previous guess is also correct. Biluo handed the strip of cloth back to Huang Quan and told him to continue reading the content on the other side.

"Really, you can't be lazy. Huang Quan pursed his lips, turned over the strip of cloth, and continued to read: "If you can find this letter, that is, my destined person, if you can leave the village soberly, you can bring my token to the Great Xia Kingdom, and present the token to His Majesty the King with this letter, and there will be a great reward." ”

Bi Luo was quick, snatched the strip of cloth at once, rolled it up and took it back into his arms, and said to Huang Quan at the same time: "Look, I said that there is a way to get out of here." ”

"How do you leave? Time and space coincide with the outside world, can you calculate the location of time in the outside world?"

"It can be calculated. Biluo said lightly, looking confident, "Tomorrow at noon, gather at the pond in the village, and I will take you away." Huang Quan was about to take Huang Lian out of the house, when Bi Luo stopped them: "Slow, this matter can only be known to the three of us, and we can't tell anyone else." ”

"What about the three barbarians?" asked Huang Quan.

"I can only take two people with me at a time, if you want, you can stay and change them. ”

"No, no, no, we've been a little tired of playing these days, and we're about to leave. Huang Quan hurriedly said.

"Oh. I saw that you were eating and drinking well here, and I thought you didn't want to leave. ”

"Where, where. ”

Huang Quan snorted, this time he was embarrassed to leave early, so he stayed and Biluo to find the things in this room again.

"Actually, I'm more curious about what you said about being able to calculate the location of time and space outside, how did you calculate it?" Huang Quan asked Biluo while flipping through the futon on the bed, they have searched this room many times, and there should be no omission.

"It's very simple, since we are involved in the barbarian tribe, it shows that this space must be an irregular or regular movement on the Shanhai Continent, given that the legend of the Sky Devouring Beast only spreads among the barbarians, and sometimes it sucks people, sometimes spits out the demon race, indicating that it only operates between the Southern Barbarian Middle Continent and the Fairy Forest, then there is reason to think that this space is doing regular operation, but outsiders cannot grasp its operation laws. ”

"And then, don't you have a good grasp of its position?"

"I'm thinking, the previous village chief overlooked one thing, and we also overlooked one thing. ”

"What's that?"

"The sun in the sky. ”

"The upper and lower four directions are the universe, and the ancient and modern are the universe. We tend to think that time changes all the time, space is not, no matter how time changes, there is no change in all directions, but in fact it is not. If this were the case, there would never be a distinction between spring, summer, autumn and winter. ”

"Like the old village we're in now?"

"Correct. ”

"Isn't there a distinction between seasons to prove that time has passed? What does that have to do with direction? ”

Bi Luo glanced at Huang Quan, she didn't know if this young man really didn't know or not, she didn't want to waste her tongue to explain, but said: "According to the results of my ancestors' observation of the sun's activity for many years, everything in the world is in constant motion, there are rules or irregularities, but only the sun does not move, using the sun as a mark, we will get two different marks, and the task outside is to find the same place from these different places." ”

"Really, so fake?"

"We'll know tomorrow. Biluo didn't want to explain more, it was tiring to chat with fools, and it was even more tiring to chat with "fools" who pretended to be smart.

The next day, after lunch, Bi Luo walked out of the old master's house first, Huang Quan and Huang Lian later found an excuse to sneak out, and the three barbarian clansmen were left in the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks.

Biluo found a bamboo pole to stand in the middle of the pond, looked up at the sun in the sky, and held her gossip plate in her hand, and the pointer on the plate was spinning.

"Can you just rely on this bamboo pole?" Huang Quan expressed deep doubts.

"If you know the source of the shadows in the sun, you shouldn't question what I'm doing. ”

"Sorry, I really haven't heard of it. ”

"I'll explain it to you later, but you have to know that the sun in the sky does not move, and the earth, mountains, and oceans revolve around the sun, so that you can see the sunrise and sunset, and Changshou Village has no moon, which shows a problem, this space is actually independent of Kyushu's movement. ”

"I didn't know that for a long time. ”

"No, that means we can only leave during the day, or more accurately, under the sun. Think about what the villagers say when the ghost hand comes to arrest people, it all happens during the day without exception. ”

"So what?"

"If you can't run into a ghost hand at random, but take the initiative, then it's just around noon, right now. After speaking, Biluo jumped into the pond.

Huang Quan and Huang Lian looked at Biluo with a blinded face, they didn't know why she jumped down, Huang Quan was still hesitating, thinking that Huang Lian, who was having fun, had already jumped down with a smile, for fear that his younger brother would be drowned, so Huang Quan had to jump down.

The water in the pond was not deep, and it only reached the chest of Huang Quan, he held the yellow lotus on his shoulder, and slowly walked towards Biluo.

"A place where there is no shadow in the middle of the day is a place where two different spaces coincide. Biluo looked at Huang Quan and explained to him.

"Why am I so reluctant to believe it?" Huang Quan waded through the water and walked to Biluo's side, his whole body soaking wet, and the water droplets on his hair dripped down.

"Just wait, it's noon soon. Bi Luo glanced at Huang Quan, "You just don't have any patience at all." ”

"Okay, I'll be patient. Huang Quan smiled and stood aside.

However, a quarter of an hour passed, and the three were still in place.

"Wait a little longer. Biluo said to Huang Quan.

"Good. ”

A quarter of an hour later.......

Two quarters of an hour......

Three quarters of an hour......

The three of them were still in place, and the originally muddy water of the pond began to become clear, and a few white geese swam around the three of them.

Biluo felt slightly embarrassed and coughed: "I admit it, I miscalculated." She was about to pull out the bamboo pole, when a whirlpool suddenly appeared on Huang Quan's head, sucking away the Huang Quan brothers one after another, and before Huang Quan disappeared, the last hand reached out and pulled Bi Luo in.

And the white geese couldn't dodge it and were also sucked in.

Quack, quack, is the swan song left by these white geese to the old village.
