Chapter 29: Fate
"Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going? ”
For Zhu Qinglan at this time, this is not a philosophical problem, but a real trouble. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What a big water ......"
As far as the eye can see, the water of the Jinjiang River is rolling, and the familiar and unfamiliar streets have all been plunged into the flood.
A few minutes ago, I had just touched the Han embroidery map, and after a period of earth-shaking upside down, I arrived here.
"The old Citibank in the Dragon Crown District? This is Hangang Road Pedestrian Street? Completely drowned? ”
The landmark buildings of Jiangcheng, as well as the old-fashioned oil lamps that enter the water in the lower half, always let her know where she is now, and the prosperous commercial streets in her memory have all fallen into the flood, which makes people feel very strange.
What makes people feel even more abnormal is that the building in front of ..... is inexplicably new.
Although the European-style buildings in the period of the multinational concession along the river have always been the landmark attractions of Jiangcheng, they were built at the beginning of the last century and even in the Qing Dynasty, and the fallen lacquer and weathered bricks have been full of traces of time.
For a hundred years, there are some things there, which cannot be said or touched, but they are felt.
The distressed style of Tang Street is based on it, and there used to be comparison pictures on the Internet, how could Zhu Qinglan be wrong.
But now the buildings on Hangang Road do not have the obvious traces of the times, the oldest ones are decades old, and some even seem to have just been built.
And if it is just a subtle hint, the clothes of the pedestrians in the small rows and boats in the streets are even more obvious....... yes, yes, there are not horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws running on the streets now, but all kinds of small boats.
The boatman propped up the pole and carried the oars, stopping from time to time along the way.
On the bank stairs by the side of the road, a beggar and a child in a pair of shorts each occupy a corner, watching the ships come and go.
And their dress is very retro.
If the men are not shirtless, most of them wear light-colored tops and trousers, as well as the iconic four-patch pocket clothing with straight lapels and pocket flaps, which looks like a long-to-middle outfit from an old movie.
Women are rarely seen on the boat, but those in the buildings also wear strange blue and white tops and skirts.
"Republic of China period? Did I cross over? Well, isn't there enough time to review and prepare for the exam, with decades of preparation, I will definitely be able to pass the ........ no, it seems that there was no Watchman qualification exam during the Republic of China. ”
Touching her head amusemently, Zhu Qinglan turned her attention to the strange world in front of her.
Since Ah Wu said that this is an opportunity and can help him, then, don't slack off and pay more attention.
Every time she took the entrance exam, Zhu Qinglan had never failed the intelligence gathering test, but now, just by paying attention to her surroundings, she also found that the situation was wrong.
"........ everyone, it doesn't seem like they're seeing me."
The ship passed by her, but it did not mean to anchor in the slightest, and the eyes of passers-by looked at her, but in fact they passed directly.
Although everyone subconsciously avoided themselves, no one really looked at it, even if they waved at the child, the other party seemed to turn a blind eye, as if they were a ghost with no physical existence, or they didn't exist at all......
"Yes, of course you don't exist here."
The familiar voice behind her startled Zhu Qinglan, but then she was relieved.
"Awu?"
Looking back, it's not who Lu Wu is, it's just that Lu Wu's appearance is a little ugly now, his left eye is swollen, and there is an extra scratch on his right cheek.
"What are you?"
"Cat-scratched."
"So, Chikage?"
"If the cat runs away, whoever cares if it dies will let it be lost forever in 1931."
Well, there is no need to ask more questions about the rest, it seems that Chikage woke up and took revenge without hesitation.
"Come with me, let's go find the 'pole'."
"Pole?"
Although she didn't know what it was here or there, and what the pole was referring to, Zhu Qinglan didn't ask anything, just ran along.
She knew that as long as it was necessary, Lu Wu would give herself an explanation.
“…… Sister Lan, do you think that if the 'meaning' carried by the pen is recorded and interpreted, then what does the 'line' carry? ”
“…… Clothes? ”
"No, it's fate, or more modernly, cause and effect and fate."

"Type 2 abilities without soul equipment are a bunch of waste, and they can't use abilities at all, and in encounters, their ability tendencies are too obvious and they are easy to target, but ........ definitely doesn't mean that you can underestimate them, especially those with well-prepared field-type abilities."
When Lu Wu was hunted down, Xie Shisan, who was closed to the guests, was still preparing his own teaching materials, completely unaware that his reserved apprentice was also on the run.
A comprehensive and systematic introduction to the ability of the inner world is the basis for building one's own ability characteristics, although it is very cumbersome, Xie Shisan is afraid that there will be too many omissions.
He knows that sometimes if the master talks nonsense, it may be possible to save his life at a critical moment.
"One painting is one world, one chess is one universe, and there are very few people with field-type abilities. Among them, the more common ones are some of the inheritors of the two major veins of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and do not easily enter their world. And if you fall into it, unless you have an overwhelming advantage in strength, you must follow the rules, no matter how absurd the rules are. ”
After hesitating for a moment, he thought of someone, and instinctively shuddered.
Considering the possibility of living in the same city, Xie Shisan gritted his teeth and continued to add a few strokes.
"Although the number is very small, and there is basically no possibility of fighting, you also have to remember that there is a field-type ability, once it is arranged on the battlefield, absolutely, absolutely do not enter."
Thinking of the miserable battlefield when he was in a bad mood when he first settled in this city, he vented his nonsense, and then was "guided by friendship" by his predecessors, even Xie Shisan, who had experienced a hundred battles, had palpitations.
"The Weaver Girl, the red thread of marriage in the East, the fate loom of the West, the thread of the Weaver Girl and the goddess of fate in Western mythology have many similarities, involving cause and effect. If you don't want to die inexplicably, don't provoke them, and the oldest and most dangerous weaver girl in the Xia Kingdom also lives in this city, she is the contemporary weaver ........ Long Xiuling. ”
========
"Thank you for the professional commentary upstairs, I will trouble you more in the future, the man who lives in the commentary ....... cough, Sister Lan, don't care, I just suddenly wanted to say this."
Lu Wu took Zhu Qinglan to the stone wall, and then jumped on a fishing boat together....... the depth of the flood, and the four or five meter-long fishing boat can now also go to the street.
And the two heavy objects fell off the boat, obviously the boat shook violently, almost tilted, but the passengers on it seemed to have no feeling at all, some smoked dry tobacco, some fished, some watched the water, all busy with their own business.
And Lu Wu's gaze scanned on both sides, as if he hoped to find something.
"So, what is the pole?"
It seems that it will not be able to find the target in a while, thinking of the records of the Golden City Lock Dragon Diagram in those old books at home, he should have more time, so Lu Wu stopped and patiently explained.
"The Weaver Girl's abilities are somewhat similar to those in the Four Treasures, both of which turn the world in the heart image into reality. But if it is subdivided, it is fundamentally different. Painting is to project the image in their minds, and the weaver girls, their threads are their own feelings and memories. ”
"When those silk threads finally become the world, just as countless threads of destiny eventually constitute real life, to countless lives docking, it becomes society, and when the society of different eras is piled together, it becomes the ....... of the world."
"I don't understand."
If this is a comic, Zhu Qinglan is afraid that her head is already full of question marks and stars.
Hearing this, Lu Wu just smiled and nodded, this was also expected, after all, .......
"I don't know much either, the ability of the Weaver Girl is also taboo among the older generation, the information is incomplete, and there is no theoretical system, but most people only need to remember one thing."
"Huh?"
At this time, Lu Wu's expression was rarely serious.
"Never provoke a Weaver Girl, if you are really hated by a Weaver Girl, the kind of hatred that will end up at all costs, don't hesitate, it's more pleasant to wipe your neck directly."
After speaking, Lu Wu shrugged his shoulders, saying that he didn't know why, and the corner of his eye kept looking, still searching for pedestrians around him.
If the information is correct, you, an outsider, should soon be able to meet the target.
After all, in this world made up of "fate", there is no accident only necessity, everything has a cause and effect, and it is enough to wait for it to change.
"The great flood during the Republic of China should be the Jiangcheng flood in 1931, although it is rare to see, but it is meaningless to us, just like watching TV to find the remote control to change the channel, we must find the pole of positioning, in order to go to the real goal....... That's how it happened, it's her! ”
On the stone bridge, there was a long-legged sister wearing a pink cheongsam, who was looking curiously at the boat.
There, it was obviously two people in strange costumes, but no one cared, it seemed that only they could see it.
"Fate comes to meet, fate ends and leaves, meet here, the fate of a lifetime."
