Chapter 281: Time Scale
The ancient road at night is always very clean.
After the last rays of the day's rays were blown away by a gust of wind, the first chapter of the night began. On the only street on the Qianchen Ancient Road, the scale on the side of the street began to glow with bursts of soft golden light, dyeing the street about 50,000 meters long into a paved golden road.
People who have been busy all day have disappeared at this moment. The night of the ancient road was as quiet as a sleeping baby.
This is the most special place in the city of Qianchen Ancient Road. Those scales marked on the side of the road actually represent a timeline, and people in this city can use these timelines to return to the moment of yesterday.
From 7 a.m. to 8 a.m., this period of time is called blank time on the Former Dust Ancient Road. Because at this time of day, almost all the people in the ancient road of the past will choose to use the timeline to go back to the day before.
And yesterday's 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock this time period, the same way, because yesterday's Qianchen Ancient Dao people entered the day before yesterday, so yesterday's 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock, is also blank.
The entrance to the city of Qianchen Ancient Road, the timeline coordinate is 0. This 0 is not a unit of time, but a unit of distance, and the number on the scale of the whole city is a unit of distance, and the unit is a meter, which represents how many meters.
What does this scale do?
People in the ancient path of the past can use the timeline to go back to a day ago, but this return to a day ago does not mean that the whole world has returned to a day ago, but there are limitations.
The total length of the Qianchen Ancient Road is about 50,000 meters, and this 50,000 meters is to return to the restricted area of the past, in other words, only the 50,000-meter Qianchen Ancient Road can go back to the past, and the rest of the places are not allowed.
What is the use of the distance scale?
To go back to the past day, it costs money to go back to the past, and the longer you go back to the past, the more money you will spend, that is, you can choose to only go back to the past in the area of 0 to 500 meters, and the other areas can be abandoned.
For example, yesterday in the distance area of 300 to 700, something happened that made you regret, then today, you can choose to buy the 300 to 700 area with gold, turn it into the past, and then go to it to change the decision at that time.
Of course, all this is illusory, and it can't change the fait accompli, but it just makes people feel what the results of a decision made at the time would have been different if it had been different.
Since there is a distance scale, there is also a time scale, and you can choose to go back to a specific point in time yesterday, or you can choose to look back on an entire yesterday.
The distance scale restricts the area that goes back to yesterday, and the time scale locates back to a certain moment in the past. Both need to be purchased with gold, and when they are bought, the time and distance scales interact to create an illusion of yesterday.
The illusion only exists for an hour, from 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock, which in reality is an hour, but in the illusion, it can become a maximum of 24 hours, that is, the whole of yesterday.
It's an interesting thing that everyone can regret the decisions they made yesterday at a certain time and in a certain scene, and wonder what would have happened if they had made another decision at that time.
It can be done on the Qianchen Ancient Road. Although it is an illusion, you can't change the truth after leaving the illusion, but at least you know that your decision is wrong, or that you know some of someone's preferences, and you know that something would be better if you did it.
That way, you won't make a mistake next time.
In a word, people who have been in the past can live yesterday's life again. Local tyrants can spend a whole day, and those who are not so wealthy can choose a certain period of time in a certain area.
It is worth mentioning that in yesterday's illusion it is still possible to die, so it is not an illusionary world dominated by individuals.
It's just a memory scene that makes you relive yesterday. In the Ancient Dust Road, it is not uncommon for someone to die in the illusion of the past, but it is rare. Most of these people who died in the illusion were people who had bad intentions about the past.
Everyone's illusion of yesterday does not overlap, so there is no such thing as saying that two people will return to the same illusion of yesterday at the same time, in the illusion, only one person is the one who returns to yesterday.
Ye Ming left the hotel at 7 o'clock. When he walked out into the street, the whole street was empty, and almost everyone would choose to go back to yesterday between 7 and 8 o'clock, after all, there was only one chance, and tomorrow, there would be no way back to the day before yesterday.
However, there will still be a very small number of people who do not choose to go back to yesterday.
Ye Ming had heard of the Qianchen Ancient Road when he was in Nay Bay, so he knew that this city was a special time from 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock, and there were few people.
Walking comfortably on the streets of the ancient road, looking at the city with thousands of lights but no people, there is a very different feeling.
When it was time to reach the 1600 scale, Ye Ming found a figure flickering in a restaurant. Walking into this restaurant, Ye Ming saw an old man, who should be the owner of a restaurant.
He didn't choose to experience yesterday.
"Boss, get something to eat." Ye Ming found a place to sit down.
"Okay, the menus are all on the table, just order it for me." The old man said.
"That's it, try the signature dishes." Ye Ming casually ordered a few dishes.
"Okay, you sit down for a while, and the food will come up soon." The owner took the menu and walked into the kitchen.
It was only twenty minutes before the boss walked up with the food.
"You look like you're about twenty years old, you're a young man, and there aren't many people staying in the city during this time. Why didn't you go? The old man smiled.
"I'm not from the city, so I couldn't enjoy this special time slot. What about you? Ye Ming said.
"Me? I didn't go to experience anything yesterday when I was old, and I liked it when I was young. However, because of this special time period, everyone lives more real and transparent, and it doesn't make much sense to mess around. ”
"It's just a young man like you who like it, but it's still quite meaningful to play a copy, an hour is equivalent to 24 hours, although the things you get in the illusion can't be brought back to reality, but the experience value is okay, this ancient road has become a holy place for big guys to level up."
"If you have to have money, you have to be rich to buy 24 hours." The old man said.
"I'm curious, boss, can you tell me how this time scale came about? At the beginning of the establishment of the Ancient Dust Road, did this time scale exist? I see the city as if it was built on this time scale. Ye Ming asked.
"I don't know very well, I heard the older generation say that this time scale should be left from that period of the ancient era, a very distant thing, who can tell the source clearly?" The boss said.
"Then there is not a little clue?" Ye Ming asked.
"Not really. I heard that a long time ago, when people discovered this time scale, they also used this ability to go back to yesterday, but at that time, the city system was not perfect, and there were always mistakes, and if it went wrong, people who returned to reality from yesterday's illusion would be covered with ice. ”
"Anything it touches will freeze it, and no one can solve this frozen mystery, and many people have died. Later, a woman passing by found a solution by bringing with her a miraculous herb that could be blended by an apothecary to unfreeze it. ”
"I can't even remember what this herb is called, because after the city system was perfected, there was no such thing. Herbs are gradually forgotten. ”
"I heard my grandfather talk about this when I was a child, and he mentioned it like this, and he used it to scare me at that time, so I still have some impressions." The old man said.
"Freezing? Is this herb called Huangliang Menghan Grass? Ye Ming "chuckled" in his heart.
Isn't the freezing symptom depicted by this old man exactly the same as the wave of flowers that disappeared in the Nightdance Forest and encountered Kun?
"That's right, it's called Huangliang Dream Cold Grass! Hey? How do you know? The old man was a little puzzled.
"A friend of mine also had such symptoms last year, and it took a while to unravel them, and he used Huangliang Menghan grass." Ye Ming said.
"Oh, then your friend is really lucky." The old man said.
The Huangliang Dream Han Grass is used to unlock Kun's Minghai Qi, why is there a freeze attached to Kun's Minghai Qi in the time scale illusion of the Qianchen Ancient Road?
Does this time scale have anything to do with Kun? When he thought of Kun, Ye Ming thought of Tianchi Minghai, and thought of Ji Tingyin, the mother of the stubborn spirit, who disappeared with Kun.
In the ancient era, the Tianchi Minghai area was now the stubborn bay, if Ji Tingyin was going to leave, she was likely to have been here, and she had come to the ancient road in the ancient era.
"Boss, have you heard of twin rosemary?" Ye Ming asked.
"Twin rosemary? No, is it a copy? If it's a copy, I can tell you unequivocally that there is no such copy in the Ancient Dust Path. The boss said.
"Oh, so how do you get the identity of the city? Can the boss give me some advice? Ye Ming asked.
"This is not easy, and I can't guide you, you have to go to the president of the management guild to see what his attitude is, but I guess you won't be able to find him at this time. After 8 o'clock, you can try it. The old man said.
"Thank you."
After serving the food, Ye Ming was thinking about Kun while eating. He once asked Shu He, and Shu He naturally knew about this magical flying fish that lived in the Tianchi Ming Sea.
But this has nothing to do with the Lingyu clan, Kun is the mythical beast of the Tonghe clan, before the incident of the destruction of the Yinhai Liutang, the Lingyu clan and the Tonghe clan are still on good terms, but for Kun, the Lingyu clan knows very little.
I just know that this is a relatively docile creature, although the individual is extremely large, and the appearance is quite scary, but it never hurts people.
Shu He has also heard a thing or two about Kun leaving Tianchi Minghai with Ji Tingyin and disappearing, but he can't confirm it, and he doesn't know where Kun will go with Ji Tingyin.
"Boom!"
Just as Ye Ming'an was quietly thinking about the problem, a loud noise suddenly came from the entrance of the city of Qianchen Ancient Road.
"Coming?" Ye Ming dodged and rushed out of the restaurant, leaving a small bag of gold coins on the table.
Near the city entrance of the Ancient Dust Road, a large number of creatures suddenly poured out, densely arranged on the edge of the Night Dance Forest. Mixed with these creatures, there are also dozens of professionals.
"It's a good feeling, and the creatures who obey orders are much better than the clumsy professionals." A young man with a staff in his hand smiled as he looked at the massive biomass beneath his feet.
"Brother, are they here for us?" A few people with red makeup also ran over from the hotel, and when they saw Ye Ming coming, they asked out loud.
"Not really. Mixed with the copy creatures, it should be Lu Zhesheng's person. Ye Ming looked at the large number of monsters in the distance, and saw the professional people floating in the air, and knew that this was not the one who came to chase and kill them.
It has been a whole day since Ye Ming and the four of them came to the Qianchen Ancient Road, but no one chased after them, firstly, because the speed of Ye Ming and the others was really fast, and secondly, the people who chased and killed Ye Mingmaimai were all dead.
Because when they were chasing Ye Ming, they met this group of people.
And this group of people did not come for Ye Ming, they were just ordered by Lu Zhesheng to come to destroy the Qianchen Ancient Road and all the cities around the Night Dance Forest.
It happened that Ye Ming and the others were in the Qianchen Ancient Road.
"Tut, it seems that the people in this ancient road are still intoxicated with yesterday's Nan Ke dream. The cities are empty, which is really careless. ”
"Go on, destroy as much as you want! Those who block, all destroyed! ”
At the command, thousands of terrifying creatures suddenly set out at the same time, and their heavy footsteps intertwined and stepped on the ground, and the earth rumbled.
"You guys take Maimai and retreat first, and I'll leave it here." Ye Ming turned to the red makeup Xiyue and said.
"Okay." The two did not hesitate at all, and floated away with Maimai.
Thousands of dungeon creatures ran wildly on the ground, like a crazy rolling black carpet about to sweep in, and suddenly, the ground in front of the Qianchen Ancient Road City suddenly cracked, and within the crack, a wall of fire about fifty meters wide erupted!
The wall of fire was attached to the flames, and the creatures that hit the wall of fire were immediately attached to the flames, and the creatures attached to the flames were dyed with a special mark of fiery red.
Soon, the creatures that touched the wall of fire were marked with a special mark of fiery red, which was like a lamp, lit up one by one in the group of monsters running under the dark night, and in the blink of an eye, it was already connected into a large area!
"Bang!"
Beacon fire!
The fiery red mark on the monster in front of it exploded, bursting out like a whirlwind of flames, and the rapidly rotating flames were like a huge gear, stirring the sky-high flames and recklessly colliding in the monster group!
"Huh? Is there a high-level magician profession in this D-class city? The mage who had led these creatures to the Ancient Path of the Former Dust was a little surprised to see the dozen or so wheel-like wheels of flame crashing through the biota.
And when he saw the person who released the skill, he didn't think it was strange.
"Wizard of Wonder!"
