Chapter 64: Falling from the Sky
Chen Xian is not a good chatter and communicator, so he feels too reticent many times, but in the current situation...... Even the most communicative person will inevitably fall into silence, because the atmosphere is simply embarrassing, and even Lu Yisheng doesn't know how to start talking.
The old man was not very wary of Chen Xian, at least it seemed so, so after the child opened the door, he led everyone into the house.
The area of the mud house is not large, and the layout in the living room is extremely simple, and there is a dusty appearance everywhere, but fortunately, there are many small handmade benches in the room, and they do not have to stand awkwardly, as if the village committee of the countryside is holding a meeting in a farmer's house, and people move a small bench to sit together.
The old man and the child sat on the other side of the back room, and they didn't talk the whole time, the former just smoked and lowered his head to wipe the wood used to chop wood up the mountain, and the latter sat on the bench with a smile and stared at Chen Xian and them.
The host didn't speak, and Chen Xian, who was a guest, didn't know what to say, although Lu Yisheng also wanted to find an opportunity to open up the conversation a few times in the middle, but helplessly....... Every time he opened his mouth, he would be blocked by the awkward atmosphere in the sky, especially when the extremely ugly little boy stared at him, as long as the eyes of both sides met, he couldn't help but feel creepy.
What Chen Xian wants to do most now, the answer is very simple.
He wanted to go back.
Take everyone back to the real Meishan, and then solve the trouble of Meishan and go back to Ningchuan to enjoy Qingfu.
But it's not easy to go back, and I haven't even found a clue at this stage...... I want to ask this old man with a strange face, but I am afraid that it is risky to say it, otherwise I will be regarded as a fool by others.
Tell him we came back in time?
Chen Xian muttered in his heart, feeling that this statement was not very reliable, at least from the feeling point of view, this old man should not believe it.
"Are you really from outside the mountains?" The old man wiped the wood knife in his hand, held the burning cigarette in his mouth, and said without looking back, "I don't feel like you're from outside the mountains...... Those people who only recognize us in Meishan Village in the white fog...... It's impossible for an outsider to get out of there......"
"What happens if outsiders come across those white mists?" Chen Xian asked curiously, and he was relieved in his heart, finally breaking the embarrassing atmosphere of silence.
"Will be punished by the gods." The old man smiled mysteriously.
"Punishment ....." Xu Yanan suddenly spoke, frowning and asked, "Will you die?" ”
The old man tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded and shook his head.
"Death does not exist for the gods, and those who are punished by the gods will also break away from the boundaries of death, and they will become one with the mountain." The old man's smile was very bright, as if he was saying something extremely beautiful, but there was no trace of this beautiful longing in his eyes, "Return to the arms of the gods, the gods will give them grace......
Although what the old man said was somewhat unclear, it was integrated with the mountain from what he mentioned...... It's not a good thing to hear.
While everyone was secretly wondering what the old man meant by what he had said, the old man's next words surprised them, for they never imagined that the old man would mention this......
"I saw you fall from heaven." The old man said, shaking the ash of his cigarette, "At first, I wanted to go over and have a look, but I have work in my hands, and you are a little far away from me...... I was going to take a look at it at night, but I didn't expect you to come to the door by yourself. ”
The corners of Chen Xian's eyes twitched faintly, and the expression on his face did not change much, but there were turbulent waves in his heart, because he had never thought that his group had fallen from the sky in advance, and this meant that it really crossed over?
"We fell from the sky??" Lu Yisheng couldn't help but ask, his eyes widened, "How high did it fall from the sky??" ”
"I don't see it clearly." The old man shook his head, and his tone of voice was very sincere, not like he was fooling them, "When I saw it, you were falling down, at least a hundred feet from the ground, at that time, I thought I was dazzled, otherwise why didn't so many people fall to the ground without even making a sound." ”
Hundreds of feet.
Hearing this approximate data, Chen Xian and the others looked at each other for a while, only feeling that they were dreaming.
Let's just count this old man who is too far away and can't grasp the distance accurately, even if he is cut into fifty zhang for a hundred zhang..... That's about 150 meters above the ground!
Falling to the ground from this height, not to mention Lu Yisheng and them as a stranger with poor physical fitness, even if Chen Xian smashed it, he couldn't stand it, it couldn't be the uninjured appearance after waking up.
Could it be that the black light parasite has saved us?
With this kind of question, Chen Xian opened his mouth and asked the old man, were we scattered or gathered together when we fell to the ground? Did you see anything else besides us?
"It's together, but it's also a little bit scattered...... I didn't see anything other than you. The old man smiled and snuffed out the cheap paper cigarette in his hand, leaving a slightly choking wisp of smoke, "You can't be immortals from the sky, right?" ”
Chen Xian spread his hands, and the expression on his face was indescribably helpless.
"Do you think we look like gods?"
"That's right." The old man laughed, perhaps because his smile was sincere, his somewhat weirdly distorted face looked much more pleasing to the eye at the moment, and his facial features became a lot more coordinated, "How can there be a god who is planted with his head on the ground!" ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but touch their faces.
It's okay, if something happens..... Even if you don't die, you have to break the phase!
"Old man, we won't hide it from you." Chen Xian said this, feeling a little anxious in his heart, thinking that there was still a mess waiting to be dealt with in Meishan, he had a terrible headache, "We are from another world, you know the parallel space and parallel universe, right?" ”
"What's that?" The old man was instantly confused, and did not understand what Chen Xian meant.
"It's the world outside of this world, you can think of it as a fairyland, and we're just ordinary people there." Lu Yisheng blew quietly, although these words are unreliable, but for this kind of old man, his words are easier to understand.
Of course, ordinary people will definitely not believe it if they hear it, unless it is this kind of eyewitness who has witnessed everyone falling from the sky.
"That's right......" The old man looked at everyone present in disbelief and asked tentatively, "What are you doing in Meishan?" ”
"I accidentally fell off." Lu Yisheng continued to help Chen Xian and replied, "We want to go back, but we can't find a way to go back for the time being." ”
"Want to go back?" The old man only noticed this, and his tone of voice became excited, as if he wanted them to leave immediately, "If you can't find a way, you can ask the god of Meishan." ”
"Ask it?" Lu Yisheng was stunned for a moment, then turned his face to look at Chen Xian, "Boss, are we going to ask?" ”
"You can try." Chen Xian nodded and said, although he didn't want to have an intersection with the so-called god in his heart, but for now, this was the only way.
People will not cross to this place for no reason, since the place of settlement is also "Meishan", then it is likely that there is some kind of connection between the two, but this connection is too deep to be found.
"Old man, what does that god look like?" Lu Yisheng asked curiously, "Have you ever seen it?" ”
"I haven't seen it." The old man shook his head.
As soon as they heard him say this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said in their hearts, look at what you said before, you swear that there is a god in this mountain, but you haven't even seen it??
"Don't look at me like that." The old man smiled, as if sensing something in the eyes of the people, and explained, "Actually, we can't see God, but we can all communicate with it...... If you want to find it, I can take you. ”
"Then it's going to be a hassle for the old man."
Chen Xian said that, and was about to get up with the old man, but at this time, his finger accidentally scratched the edge of the wooden bench, and a wound no more than the size of a grain of rice was cut on the belly of his index finger by a wooden thorn.
He quietly glanced at the wound, and didn't take it to heart, he directly put his hands in his pockets and waited for the wound to heal itself, after all, no matter how serious the injury was, this kind of bumpy and small injury was not worth mentioning at all, and it would not take a few seconds to heal automatically and recover as before.
But after half a minute, when he walked out of the mud house with the old man, he suddenly realized something, and hurriedly pulled out his right hand in his pocket.
The bleeding from the wound has stopped, but the wound ..... But there was no sign of self-healing.
"What's going on......"
Chen Xian muttered, glanced left and right, and saw that the people around him didn't notice his movements, so he gritted his teeth and scratched the fingertips of his other hand with his nails, and warm blood flowed out instantly......
After another half a minute, Chen Xian went to observe again.
The wounds on both hands did not heal, but simply stopped the bleeding, and the slow self-healing speed was almost like that of ordinary people......
"The gravity of this world is the same as the original world......
Chen Xian's cold words instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Gravity is the same?" Lu Yisheng immediately replied, his expression was very puzzled, "But we will be tired after walking for a short distance, and I feel that our legs are sinking terribly......."
"That's not about gravity."
Chen Xian clenched his fists lightly, feeling the stinging pain from the wound from time to time, only to feel that his heartbeat had never been so fast.
"It's us..... Our Capabilities...... It's like being deprived of ...... by the world."
