Chapter 540: The Long River of Time
"It can be counted as a beautiful flower, and it can also be counted as a fragment of a colorful star," Xiao Qing said, "What are they looking for, they have to combine these two parts." ”
"Beautiful flowers, colorful fragments," Miss Lili blurted out after a moment's thought, "So, what they are looking for are seven-colored flowers?" ”
"That's right." Xiao Qing smiled, "They are looking for the Seven Colored Flowers, the seven Imperial Secret Treasures carved from the stones of the Great Western Continent. On the surface, these are seven beautiful flowers, but the Daxizhou stone that made them comes from the stars in the sky, so these seven flowers can be counted as fragments of stars. ”
"So," said Miss Lili, "the core of the Birdman Project is to find six more seven-colored flowers scattered around the world to save the fate of the old empire?" ”
"Yes."
"So they have carefully selected and nurtured three people who bear the fate of the Empire," Miss Lili said with a slight pause, "that is, the three of us?" ”
"Yes."
"But my dear," said Miss Lili coldly, "do you really believe that these magical flowers exist?" ”
"Believe." Xiao Qing didn't hesitate.
"Why?" Miss Lili asked a little helplessly, she looked at Xiao Qing like she was looking at a child who likes to fantasize.
"Because," Xiao Qing took a deep breath, and then said slowly, "This is what you told me, Sister Li." ”
"Me?" Miss Lili asked, "When?" ”
"Long before we entered this world, when we didn't even enter the previous world before this world."
"What the hell are you talking about, dear?"
"Sister Li," Xiao Qing said softly, "This virtual world is actually composed of four parts, each of which can be seen as an independent world. ”
"What four parts?"
"The prologue is the first part, when we each go into a little game. The vast ice field is the second part, and it is from the entrance of the ice field that we come to the last world. But in fact, the world is made up of two unrelated parts, and the dividing point is the moment you appear, before which we fall into a vague world of memory, and after that we stand in this arena. ”
"Interesting." Miss Lili said, "Can I understand that? The first world is prologue, the second world is the ice field, the third world is memory, and the fourth world is competition. ”
"Thank you, Sister Li." Xiao Qing said playfully, "You are still so good to me, everything has become easier after you have summed it up." ”
"You're welcome." Miss Lili sneered and said, "The bird is dying and its song is mourning, and no one will embarrass a dying person." Now to answer my question, in which world am I telling you? ”
"The first world, that is, the prologue." Xiao Qing said, "You told me through Solon's mouth. ”
"That's what he said at the time," Xiao Qing said slowly, "After that disaster, the seven-colored flowers that had died after all their efforts were scattered all over the world, and it is said that as long as you collect these seven flowers, you can open the door of time and space and enter the world where Atlantis is located." ”
"What does this mean?" Miss Lili said disdainfully, "It's nothing more than an old guy's gossip." ”
"No," Xiao Qing shook her head slightly, "It's not rumors, it's facts. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"Actually, there's one issue we've been ignoring all along." Xiao Qing said, "We always thought that the part about memory was hidden in the third world, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, the first world is the prologue, and the content of memory is more. ”
"Where?"
"At Solon and Ahua." Xiao Qing said, "Sauron's words seem very messy, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that everything he said is true. He only said one thing, the seven-colored flower carved from the stone of the Great West Continent had magical power to save the lost world. The question is, how did Solon know about this? ”
"Yes," asked Miss Lili, "how did he know about it?" ”
"Like the migration of grass, this Solon has only symbolic meaning. The person who gave the account could be Solon or anyone else. This incident only means that the owner of the memory has heard about it. Xiao Qing paused and continued, "Obviously, the owner of the memory is Sister Li, so who has she heard about this matter?" ”
"Yes," asked Miss Lili softly, "who are you listening to?" ”
"Mr. Chris." Xiao Qing said softly, "A wise man who knows everything, an old man with white hair, this person can only be Teacher Chris." ”
"So, Mr. Chris told me about this, and I told you through Solon?"
"Yes." Xiao Qing said, "Memories don't lie, but some places are blurry. ”
"Where's the blur?" Miss Lili Huo Ran asked.
"Sister Li," Xiao Qing made a pleading gesture, "I understand, you have almost all your memories restored. But trust me, there's one place you're always blurry. I'll tell you for sure, but allow me to conclude with this part. ”
"Why?"
"This part is what sustains me." Xiao Qing said lightly, "And those fairy tales are all built on this foundation. ”
"Then move on to your boring fairy tales." Miss Lili said disdainfully, "I'd like to see how you put it all together." Especially the historical story of the princes of the beacon theater, how to shine into the fairy tale world? ”
"Just like Sister Li said: the little boy refers to Ah Feng, and the other two little girls refer to us, the beautiful flower is the seven-colored flower carved from the stone of the Great West Continent, the secret treasure of the empire, and the infinitely desolate earth is the journey that the three of us are about to embark on. And then something happened, a very bad thing......"
In the first fairy tale, the little girl was briefly lost. Later, under the leadership of the little boy, everyone found the little girl in a place that was absolutely unimaginable. What kind of place is that?
The fairy tale is not explained, but it can be seen in Sister Li's memory. Sister Li, that is, the flower girl on the grassland, it is not difficult to see what she has experienced from her strange behavior, Xiao Qing can't help but think of those conversations.
"Little Lily ......"
"Dead ghost, what did you just call me?"
"Xiaoli."
"You know me?"
"I don't know."
"Then why do you call me Xiaoli?"
"Because that's what everybody calls you."
"You, what do you want to do?"
It's not hard to see......
"Skip this part!" Miss Lili said suddenly.
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister." Xiao Qing said immediately.
"The second fairy tale kingdom is naturally the Atlantis Empire, the princess is me, and the king is my father. It was he who poured all the effort into the Birdman Project, and I was personally involved in the project. In the end, this plan sent three people out of the empire, namely me, you, and Ah Feng. ”
"The third fairy tale mainly illustrates the way to save the empire, to find six other seven-colored flowers carved from the stone of the Great Western Continent." Xiao Qing paused and continued, "After research, those six flowers are all in places that are difficult for ordinary people to set foot on. ”
"Now it's time for the fifth fairy tale." Xiao Qing said, "The story of the three travel plants represents our journey. And the process was so difficult that Ah Feng ...... He sacrificed himself. ”
"Skip this part too!" Miss Lili said coldly, "Let's have a showdown, what does the historical story of the princes of the Beacon Opera have to do with the fairy tale in front of me?" ”
"There's a huge relationship." Xiao Qing said, "It is this story that provides us with a coordinate. ”
"Coordinates? What coordinates? ”
"Look for the coordinates of the seven-colored flowers."
"Be clear!"
"Okay," Xiao Qing said firmly, "King Zhou You's era is one of the six places to find the Seven-Colored Flower!" ”
“…… What did you say? ”
"Sister Li." Xiao Qing said, "This is really an embarrassing situation to break, because we will constantly stick to the word location, and take it for granted that we should go all over the world to find seven-colored flowers." ”
"But it's a pity," Xiao Qing shook her head gently, "It's not enough to just look in space, you have to find it slowly in the long river of time." ”
“…… Interesting. Miss Lili clapped her hands lightly, and then said softly, "So, you already know where the six places that ordinary people can't set foot in are?" ”
"Yes."
"Which six?"
"The end of summer, the end of the Shang Dynasty, the Western Zhou New Year, the Jin Xiangong era, modern times and ......" Xiao Qing wanted to say and stopped.
"And where?" Miss Lili stared at Xiao Qing without blinking.
Xiao Qing understands that everything will come to an end, and this may be the last substantive problem, like a long-distance run, she has come to the moment of the final sprint.
It's not an easy place to find, but it's so conspicuous that it's almost everywhere.
"Say," urged Miss Lili, "where?" ”
Xiao Qing silently closed her eyes, "The era in which Mr. Van Gogh lived. ”
Silence fell, and Miss Lili looked at Xiao Qing again with her autumn-like eyes, the expression in her eyes was constantly changing.
After a long time, Miss Lili smiled.
This time it was not a cold smile, but a smile as warm as a spring breeze.
"My dear," said Miss Lili with a smile, "how did you find these six places?" ”
"You told me." Xiao Qing said, "Of course, you didn't tell me directly, but through Ah Feng's mouth. ”
"At that time, Sister Li said this: Although she is very smart, thousands of years are long after all, and the people who have been born are like carp crossing the river, and there are still people who can compare."
