Chapter 978: Poetry
"There's nothing in here."
Dogo Iger said with a look of surprise: "I thought there was something hiding in this thatched house, so my attack will be counteracted by this thatched house." ”
Liu Xing stepped forward and looked at the situation inside the thatched house, and found that there was indeed nothing inside.
"It seems that this thatched hut is not the key to cracking this illusion, but Dogo Egg, you should discuss it with me in advance when you are ready to do it next time, don't do it alone." Liu Xing looked at Dogo Egger angrily, "If there is a problem in this thatched house, such as the spears that will emit black smoke like those spears before, then won't we be cold?" ”
Dogo Aig touched his head a little embarrassed, and said, "It's my fault, I originally thought that there must be people or mythical creatures in this thatched hut, so I planned to catch him off guard." ”
Liu Xing shook his head, and said directly to the stone bridge and the river, "You can be regarded as ruling out a wrong option, so the key to cracking this illusion is this stone bridge and the river, so now there are two choices in front of us, the first option is to go directly to the stone bridge and walk across the stone bridge first; The second option is to go to Mangbo and go down to the river to see the underwater situation. ”
"Isn't that all a direct wave of recklessness? But the water is crystal clear, so is it necessary for us to go down? Dogo Iger asked, confused.
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "Since this place is in an illusion, then the bottom of the river may also be a trick, so we may have to go into the water ourselves to see what the bottom of the river is really like, but the danger of going down the river may be higher than crossing the bridge, because judging from the current situation, crossing the bridge is likely to only allow us to appear on the other side of the illusion." ”
Dogo Ig walked to the river and said, "Then let's go down to the river, after all, I'm a deep diver, and I have the ability to add bonuses in the water." ”
Dogo Iger said and tried to jump into the water.
Liu Xing hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Dogo Egg, "Don't be so impulsive, okay, let's try other things first." ”
Liu Xing picked up a small stone from the side and threw it into the river, but the small stone disappeared after sinking to the bottom.
It's exactly the same as it was just now.
"Sure enough, there is a problem at the bottom of the river." Liu Xing touched his chin and said, "If nothing else, the bottom of this river should be connected to another space, which may be the real space where we were before, or it may be another phantom space." ”
Liu Xing glanced at the stone bridge again and continued: "In this way, we are now like we are on an xy axis, and there are three other spaces in addition to the space we are in now, and the xy axis is the river and the stone bridge respectively. ”
Dogo Egger looked at Liu Xing with a confused expression, looking like he didn't know what to say.
Liu Xing shook his head and said, "To put it simply, we have to go to the remaining three spaces to find out, and then we can determine how this illusion world should be cracked, so Dogo Aiger, you can go to the forward now, and walk across that stone bridge first." ”
"No problem, I'll listen to you."
Dogo Aige immediately walked onto the stone bridge, and then disappeared without a trace after crossing the stone bridge.
Liu Xing was a little surprised, because he didn't expect Dogo Iger to believe in himself so much, or how to believe in "Liu Xing", seeing that Turner should have done Dogo Iger a great favor when he was in England, so that Dogo Iger could trust him so much.
Just as Liu Xing stepped on the stone bridge with his front foot, a big face suddenly appeared on the stone bridge, which frightened Liu Xing and took several steps back.
Liu Xing took a closer look, and only then did he realize that the owner of the big face was Dogo Aiger.
"Liu Xing, come here, the space here has really become different."
With that, Dogo Iger retracted his head.
Liu Xing immediately walked quickly across the stone bridge, and then found that the scenery in front of him changed from a cave to a field.
Pointing to the field that had already been harvested, Dogo Iger said, "This space is so big that you can't even see the end of it, so if we follow this road, we can get to the village in the distance." ”
Liu Xing looked in the direction that Dogo Aige was pointing to, and found that there was indeed a small village two or three kilometers away, and there was cooking smoke rising in this small village, so it seemed that there should be people in this small village.
At this moment, Liu Xing suddenly heard the sound of "quack" from behind.
Liu Xing looked back and found that there was a towering tree behind him, and this big tree was full of wrist-thick vines, but these vines had already withered.
And on this big tree, Liu Xing also saw several crows, and these crows were staring at him.
What made Liu Xing's back chill was that these crows all had eight slender eyes, and the eyes were all blood-red.
What the hell is this?
"Liu Xing, don't worry, although these crows look a little ugly, they are not aggressive at all, when I just tried to use a stone to give them a look, they were just scared away." Dogo Aig said with a smile, "But this is a bit like a mythical creature that has been extinct - the eight-eyed crow, which is the companion beast of another mythical creature, but with the extinction of another mythical creature, the eight-eyed crow will also perish with it, and now its existence can only be found from the literature of some mythical creatures tribes, but what is the specific ability of the eight-eyed crow, and what is the other mythical creature it is associated with is unknown, after all, there are many mythical creatures that have perished from ancient times to the present." ”
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "I see, but this illusion seems to be quite interesting, and it actually restores an ancient Chinese poem." ”
"What word?" Dogo Iger said suspiciously.
Liu Xing cleared his throat and opened his mouth to read: "Withered vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, ancient roads and west wind and thin horses; The sun is setting, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world. ”
Fortunately, this word is composed of nouns, so it is quite simple to translate in island Chinese, and it has not deviated much, so Dogo Aige still easily understands the meaning of this word.
"Yes, there are dead vines, old trees, and crows, and there are small bridges, flowing water, and thatched huts in that space, so if we just jumped into the river, then we either met a horse on the road, or saw a man in the sunset?" Dogo Iger said, touching his chin.
"It stands to reason that it should be."
Liu Xing glanced at the people in the distance again, shook his head and said, "But I don't think this illusion is so simple, so let's try to go to that village first." ”
Dogo Iger nodded, leading the way.
In order to cut corners, Dogo Egger and Liu Xing went directly to the village through the fields that had already been harvested.
In Liu Xing's thoughts, that village may be like a mirage, if it takes a step closer to it, it will be one step away from itself, in short, it will always keep a certain distance from itself, so that it will be like a qualified illusion space.
It's a pity that this village is getting closer and closer to Liu Xing and the others, and Liu Xing can still vaguely hear many people talking in the village, which looks like some kind of activity is being held.
Liu Xing and Dogo Aige invariably quickened their pace.
As he got closer, Liu Xing became more sure of what kind of activities were being held in this small village, because Liu Xing could already hear the sound of gongs and drums.
Since it has been determined that there should be "people" in the village, it is naturally not good for Liu Xing and Dogo Iger to step on other people's fields and take shortcuts, so Liu Xing and Dogo Iger are back on the road.
After walking for a few more minutes, Liu Xing and Dogo Iger walked outside the small village.
Looking at the men, women and children in ancient costumes in the village, Liu Xing and Duo Ge Aige felt that they were a little out of place with the scene in front of them, after all, Liu Xing was still wearing a set of diving suits... Wait a minute.
Liu Xing suddenly found that the diving suit on his body had changed into a white robe at some point, while Dogo Iger had changed into a short suit.
"When did we change this outfit?" Liu Xing asked Dogo Egger with some confusion.
Dogo Iger shook his head and said with the same confusion: "I guess it was just now, because I remember that we didn't change our clothes when we entered here, but since this is an illusion space, then anything is possible." ”
Just as Liu Xing and Dogo Aige were standing outside the village talking, an old man came over and said to Liu Xing: "This gentleman, may I ask if you are here?" ”
Mr?
Liu Xing noticed that the old man spoke in Huaxia, and the "sir" in Huaxia was an honorific in ancient times, and it was often used to honor learned scholars.
Liu Xing looked at his newly changed outfit and found that he did look like a scholar at this time.
So Liu Xing pretended to arch his hand and said with a smile: "This old man, my friend and I passed by here by accident and wanted to come to ask for a bowl of water to drink, but when we got closer, we found out what your place was celebrating, so I didn't know whether to come in for a while." ”
One thing to say, Liu Xing felt that the two ancient sentences he dragged were a little embarrassing, and what he said was not clear.
However, the old man didn't care, and directly pulled Liu Xing into the village, "Sir, please inside, we are celebrating this year's bumper harvest, so we deliberately gathered together to have a flowing water banquet after the busy farming, if you don't mind, sir, please sit down and eat before leaving." ”
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Liu Xing could only nod yes, and the neglected Duogo Aige could only follow Liu Xing into the village.
After entering the village, Liu Xing found that the village was still quite large, with thirty or forty houses, and because there were many people in one family in ancient times, there must be hundreds of people in this village.
The villagers were very enthusiastic about the arrival of Liu Xing and Dogo Egger, and after Liu Xing and Dogo Iger sat down, they came over to toast.
But again, this ancient wine is not delicious, and the wine-making technology of this farmer is even simpler, the wine is the so-called turbid wine, Liu Xing can clearly see that there are a lot of floating objects in these wines.
Liu Xing, who was alert, fixed his eyes, and after making sure that these floating objects were just grain residues for winemaking, not Gu worms as Liu Xing thought, Liu Xing drank all the turbid wine in the cup.
However, in the face of these enthusiastic ancient people, Liu Xing's heart was still a little worried, after all, this was an illusion space.
So after drinking two glasses of wine, Liu Xing began to shirk on the grounds that he was still in a hurry, and began to bury his head in eating food.
Although the chicken, duck and fish on the table are all kinds of meat, and they are all real original and pollution-free food, the taste is still a little bad, because there is basically no seasoning in these dishes.
As a Shudi person, Liu Xing is still quite heavy-hearted.
After eating and drinking like this for a while, Liu Xing couldn't help but say to the old man: "Old man, what kind of village are you?" ”
The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "Our village does not have an official name yet, because our village was just established last year, and we villagers were originally displaced people from all over the world. ”
Refugee?
Liu Xing looked at the surrounding villagers with some surprise, but he didn't expect that they were still displaced people last year.
Because the agricultural technology in ancient times was not developed, and the landlords oppressed the peasants under them, as long as there was a disaster year, many peasants would lose their fields, either become tenants of those landlords and powerful landlords, or become homeless people begging for a living.
However, even if he becomes an outcast, there are only two possibilities in the end - die on the way to his hometown, or be forcibly accepted as a tenant by the landlords elsewhere.
All in all, the life of the homeless is not easy.
Just when Liu Xing didn't know what to say, the old man continued: "Thanks to the fact that Master Lu here is a great good person, otherwise we homeless people might have died on the side of the road where we don't know it." ”
Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it seems that this Master Lu is not bad to you, and he actually built such a good house for you... Wait, Master Lu? ”
Liu Xing took a closer look at the costumes of the nearby villagers, and judged it with the half-baked historical knowledge he had learned from film and television dramas, and found that they should be from the Tang and Song dynasties.
So, Liu Xing suddenly remembered a poem again.
"Oh, do you know Master Lu? If I'm not mistaken, Master Lu is called Lu You Lu Fangguan. The old man said seriously.
And so it was.
Liu Xing frowned, he didn't expect that he and Dogo Iger had entered another poem.
Lu
Mo laughs at the farmer's wine, and the guests are full of chickens and dolphins in the harvest year.
There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.
The flute and drum follow the spring society closely, and the clothes are simple and ancient.
From now on, if you are allowed to ride the moon idlely, you will knock on the door with a cane all the time and night.
