In the year 1210, the human starship had already traveled more than 70 light-years in space. After accelerating to 81% of the speed of light, the starship immediately stopped accelerating and turned on the cruise mode, not that it couldn't be faster, but the strength of the materials used to build such a huge starship was not enough, and the better materials were only very rare, and it was impossible to build such a huge starship.

Suddenly, a little silver ash flew towards the Star of the Americas, and the silver ash gradually became clear, it turned out to be a small flying machine, only more than a meter long, shaped like an olive. When it was not far from the Star of the Americas, the craft began to slow down, stopped, and then accelerated in reverse, flying in the same direction as the starship. When the small aircraft and the Star of the Americas reached the same speed, a small entrance opened in the hull of the Star of the Americas, and the small aircraft burrowed into it like a bee's nest.

Europa City, suburbs.

Yes, although it is only a virtual city, it is divided into urban and suburban areas as in reality, but if you are too far away from the city, you will find a boundary formed by a data stream, indicating that it is indeed a virtual world composed of data.

At this time, in the suburbs, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the cool breeze is blowing, and the melons are fragrant and fruity, which is the autumn travel season. After living in this virtual space for decades, it seems that people have forgotten that there is such a place as the suburbs, and the whole suburbs are empty and there is no one in sight.

It was past noon, the sun was in the west, and a flying car was driving in the direction of the city, and a man and a woman were looking around in the open flying car, and when they looked at their "never seen the world", they knew that they had not been to such a place in the suburbs for a long time, like two city people who had been to the countryside for the first time. At this time, the two of them pointed at the surrounding scenery, searched for the names of the flowers and trees below in their minds, and shouted like a competition.

"Over there, over there, the jujube tree!" the girl shouted, tugging at the boy's arm, and pointing at the hillside with her little jade hand.

The boy turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was a sour jujube forest, and the round and small sour jujube on the tree was as red as agate beads.

"Over there, persimmon, over there, Yamanashi" The girl's head turned like a rattle, driving her long blonde hair to sway left and right, and the tips of the hair swept to the boy's face from time to time, itching very comfortably. The boy's eyes gave up the grass and trees below, and instead stared at the girl's delicate face, with big eyes, a straight nose bridge, and a string of silver bell-like sounds popping up and down on the red lips, especially the long eyelashes, which flickered and looked full of aura.

The boy looked at the girl stupidly, and couldn't help but stretch his neck and peck at the girl's face, the girl was startled and reacted, two blush rose on her snow-white face, and she slowly lowered her head, and her voice was like a gnat: "Wangxi, you~"

This boy is Zhang Wangxi, the girl's name is Sumila, she is a friend that Zhang Wangxi met when she was reading a book in the library, although she didn't make it clear, but looking at the reaction of the peck just now, the two can be regarded as boyfriend and girlfriend.

As an authentic descendant of China, Zhang Wangxi is considered a minority among the current human race, while Sumira is a Caucasia. However, these have no effect, after more than a thousand years of ethnic integration on Mars, the so-called racial concept and skin color difference have been very weak. The acquaintance of the two is also very common, as mentioned earlier, Zhang Wangxi has to go to the alliance library to read books almost every day, and Sumira occasionally goes to the library to check the information, and sees a yellow-skinned and black-haired boy holding a book full of square characters reading, Sumira felt very surprised, after all, there are very few people who use those square Chinese characters now, and she couldn't help but look at it a few more times under curiosity. Zhang Wangxi seemed to be aware, and when he looked up, he saw a blonde girl staring at him, so he smiled at Sumila: "Why do I have dirty things on my face?" said and touched his face, of course he knew that there would be no dirt on his face, after all, this virtual world would not be dirty, even if he didn't wash his face for half a month, it would be fine, keep brushing his teeth every day, The habit of washing your face is just a habit, of course, it's another matter if you smear something on your face, talking like this is just a pick-up method that Zhang Wangxi thought of, because Zhang Wangxi felt that this girl was his dish at a glance. Sumira stared at people out of curiosity, and naturally it was not easy not to answer, so the two began to talk. The cause of love between men and women is a little curious, and a little good feeling is probably enough.

That's how the two met.,After a brief exchange, I found that the other party was not annoying but more interesting.,So when they left the library, the two left each other's contact information.,That's how they met.。 After getting to know each other, as long as one party has a heart, there will be communication, there will be understanding, and there may be feelings if there is understanding, so the two have the kind of feelings called love, even if they are not serious boyfriends and girlfriends, they are not far from each other.

"Ahead, 100 meters, landing" Zhang Wangxi shouted towards the control console of the flying car, so the speeding car, which was not fast, slowly hovered, landed, and stopped on a flat ground with less weeds under the hillside.

As soon as the car door opened, the two of them stepped out of the speeding car, and looked around and felt quite satisfied.

"Wangxi, you said you came to the suburbs to perform magic for me, right here?" Sumira also looked around, but found nothing special.

"How many times have you said it, it's not called magic, it's called magic," Zhang Wangxi corrected.

"Okay, okay, spells are spells, they're pretty much the same anyway, isn't it just a little flame or something like that?

"Hehe, almost, it's almost too much! wait and see," Zhang Wangxi said with a smirk.

"Let's start my first performance - the big grass pulling technique!" Zhang Wangxi shouted, rushed to the weeds on the ground, stretched out his hands to grab a clump of weeds, pulled it down violently, and threw it far away.

Sumira smiled "poof", but also stepped forward to pull the grass with Zhang Wangxi.

After a while, a small patch of mud leaked out, and the air was filled with a fragrance mixed with grass and earth. I have to say that the gap between this virtual space and the real world is really not big. After pulling out the weeds, Zhang Wangxi moved a fairly square stone from somewhere and pounded it on the muddy ground, obviously to tamp the soil that had become loose because the weeds were pulled out.

Su Mira looked at Zhang Wangxi silently, she really couldn't figure out what this guy was going to do. About half an hour later, Zhang Wangxi got up and looked at the clearing, which could be regarded as clean and tidy. Throwing the stone into the distance with both hands, Zhang Wangxi turned his head and walked to the side of the flying car, carried a bulging bag, and found a small dead branch on the ground.

Returning to the "neat" open space, Zhang Wangxi grabbed the dead branches and began to draw them on the ground. Left stroke, right stroke, draw a square, draw a circle, this connection, that disconnection, write a word, draw a picture. Anyway, in the opinion of Sumira next to her, what Zhang Wangxi drew at this time gave her such a feeling, except for a few Chinese characters that were instilled into her head by the program called "Human Alliance Knowledge Inheritance System" when she was in school, she didn't know anything else.

Zhang Wangxi was busy for more than half an hour, and then he walked outside the open space, carefully observed his "masterpiece", and stepped forward to change a few more places, then looked, changed again, and repeated several times before he was satisfied with the branches. Picking up the bulging bag just now and walking to his "masterpiece", Zhang Wangxi reached out and grabbed a handful of black powder from the bag and sprinkled it on the lines he had just drawn. He sprinkled very carefully, holding his breath, even the eyelids that blinked gently lowered and slowly lifted, and he sprinkled very carefully, the powder on his hands always flowed down at the same speed, and the powder that fell on the lines just filled the scratches on the ground.

After another half an hour, the lines on the ground were all covered with black powder, and Zhang Wangxi gently walked out of the clearing. "......Huh" exhaled a long breath, raised his hand and threw the bag aside, Zhang Wangxi then remembered that there was another person next to him, and asked with a smile: "Su, how do you see my drawing?" There was a smug expression on his face.

Su Milla was already drowsy, but when she saw Zhang Wangxi's expression that I was a big artist, she was really angry, "Hmph!", rushed forward two steps, raised a pair of pink fists and slashed at the "big artist". Zhang Wangxi looked confused, he just drew a "prayer for rain", I don't know why I was beaten, and what was even more uncomfortable was that I couldn't fight back, so I could only turn around and run away, and turn around to parry a few times while running, and rub some oil by the way.

After a while, Sumira came to her senses, and she was so angry that she stopped chasing, stomped her feet, pouted, and glared at Zhang Wangxi. Zhang Wangxi salivated and smiled: "Su, come on, come on, watch me perform a spell for you." With that, he picked up Sumira and turned back to the clearing just now.

"Su, do you know this formation?" Zhang Wangxi proudly pointed to the empty tunnel.

"Formation, what is a formation?" Sumira looked dazed.

"This ...... How do you explain it?" Zhang Wangxi scratched his head, "Hmm...... Let's put it this way, the magic array knows, it's the things that the magicians in the novel get, the magicians can summon through the magic array, teleport or something, and the formation is something similar. ”

"Wow oh! cool!" Sumira exclaimed, "You can also use the magic circle! Do you want to summon a skeleton monster or a little demon or something?"

"Alas, it's said that it's not a magic array, just take that as an analogy, forget it, in short, this is a formation, just look at it. Zhang Wangxi knows that it is difficult to explain, after all, in the face of huge cultural differences, sometimes language seems very weak.

Walking around the formation, Zhang Wangxi found a position, sat down cross-legged, and gestured with his hands in front of him for a while, and finally put his hands together like an old monk, and began to mutter some unintelligible syllables in his mouth.

To Sumila, it didn't sound like Chinese at all, because in her mind there was a Chinese instilled in the knowledge inheritance system, and although she didn't usually use it, she could distinguish it, and the pronunciation was more like a Buddhist chanting scriptures.

After muttering for a few minutes, Zhang Wangxi suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly, "Hurry as a law!" and then stretched out his index finger with both hands and pointed at the two black lines that extended from the formation. His fingers trembled slightly, and there were words in his mouth. Sumira heard Zhang Wangxi speak in Chinese this time, but she didn't understand what it meant at all, and vaguely only heard "Jade Emperor", "Laojun", "Buddha" or something.

After a while, the black lines of the entire formation gradually brightened, slowly, brighter and brighter, like a wire thrown into a furnace. Zhang Wangxi saw that the formation lit up, and he was overjoyed, and immediately jumped behind him and did a somersault, and then landed steadily, pointed at the formation with one hand, and shouted: "Hurry!"

When the sound fell, I saw a puff of white smoke rising from the entire formation, curling upwards and dissipating in the breeze in the wild.

Sumira looked up at the white smoke dissipating, her face was dazed, and she looked at Zhang Wangxi flat, only to see him looking at the sky stupidly, like a silly boy waiting for pie to fall from the sky.

"This is the formation you are talking about?" Sumira said slightly: "The formation is to set off fireworks? Your fireworks are not good-looking, you might as well get some real fireworks!"

Zhang Wangxi curled the corners of her mouth slightly embarrassed, spread her hands towards Sumila, and without saying a word, she took two steps forward and pulled her towards the speeding car. Sumira knew that he was in a bad mood, so she didn't speak, and followed suit.

After walking a few steps, the two of them stiffened at the same time, as if there was something wrong behind them, and immediately looked back, only to see the clouds rising above their heads, gradually gathering into a dark cloud. The dark clouds are getting bigger and bigger, getting darker and darker, faintly flashing the slightest arc, and a "crackling" discharge sound immediately came to the eardrums of the two people, and then the bean-sized raindrops "lala" fell, just falling on the open space just now, and it was muddy in an instant.

Sumira's mouth opened wide in shock, and her eyes were as big and round as the heroine of the cartoon. staring at the rainy area, he shook Zhang Wangxi's hand: "Wangxi, Wangxi, this rain is the formation you said was recruited?"

Zhang Wangxi's face did not have much joy, but was slightly disappointed, this effect seemed to be much weaker than expected, but then relieved: as long as there is an effect, this shows that the things he has studied for so many years are not made up.

"Hahaha...... That's right! This is the formation, and the formation I just laid out is called the Nine Palace Bagua Prayer Rain Array!"
