Chapter 426: Parting Ways
I don't know what Lao Shi took out, and I don't know what it is for, but his words have already shown that Lu Fangding thought of all the links that he could think of before he died.
"What is this?"
"I don't know the specifics, but the master gave it to me and told me how to use it." Old Shi got up and took an ashtray-like thing from the pile of bottles and jars in the back, and then collected a little scraped wood fines.
Then, he opened the tin foil packet, which contained a very fine powder that could not be distinguished at all. He put it all in the ashtray.
"Master Ding said, this thing came out of his ears." Old Shi beckoned to me, then walked over to the big bag, and he lit the mixture from the ashtray and put it in the big bag.
I helped Lao Shi prop up a few pieces of wood in the bag, so that the space in the bag was a little larger, and after the fine powder was burned, wisps of smoke were produced. The smoke was swirling, and as soon as I saw this, I judged that it was something extracted from my left ear.
"Let's go, let's go over there." Lao Shi saw that the fine powder had begun to burn and smoke, so he took me aside: "Master Ding said that other people can't smell these things, and they will go crazy when they smell them." ”
Lao Shi and I came to the campfire again, and our hearts were already bright. These powders were extracted by Lu Fangding from his left ear a long time ago.
The left ear can remind people of some past events that have been hidden in the deepest part of the memory. Zhang Momo: When they were asleep, they could have a similar reaction when they smelled the smoke from the fine powder. Lu Fangding had long known the usefulness of the left ear, and he had long known that the identities of Zhang Momo and the three of them were not ordinary, and he had never told anyone, just because the time had not come.
And now, the big thing may really be coming to an end, and it's time for these powders to come in handy.
"It's not easy in this life." After Lao Shi sat down, he was still babbling some good things about Lu Fangding, when Lu Fangding was still alive, Lao Shi might not say so much, he wanted to leave the opportunity to explain to Lu Fangding, but Lu Fangding died, there was no room for explanation, these words, I can only tell me Lao Shi.
"I know it's not easy for him." I think back to the things that happened after I met Lu Fangding, in fact, I really don't resent Lu Fangding anymore.
I can't make a definitive conclusion about whether he is a good person or a bad person. But at least I know that Lu Fangding has spent half his life for this big event. He has encountered setbacks and dangers, but he has never given up, and has come to the end of his life under great pressure.
He was a loser because by the time he died, he didn't see the end of the big event with his own eyes. But I have to admit that he is a hero, and few people will give up the life and power they should enjoy for one thing.
He is a well-known figure in Huayang Ancient Xing, whether it is the old generation in the past or the young people who are coming later, he has to give Lu Fang some face. He should have lived a good life, but because of this incident, he lived a very sad life.
I suddenly wanted to drink a little wine, drink a little for myself, and at the same time, I also toasted Lu with a glass.
Old Shi sat by the fire for a while, then ran to the big bag with his nose covered and observed. The fine dust in the tin foil bag is mixed with wood chips, so it doesn't burn very quickly.
Lao Shi boiled some more water, then took a few cans out, heated them, and shared them with me. He ate very little, and his body may have been terrible, but he was struggling to support it with a thought in his heart.
I can't eat it either, because I know that Lao Shi won't live long.
The two of us rarely spoke, and after about forty minutes of doing it here, Lao Shi ran to see it three times. When he ran to observe for the fourth time, he waved at me.
The smoke produced by the combustion of fine powder has dissipated. When I lay on the ground and looked through the gap in the big bag, I found that the faint halo on the foreheads of Ning Xiaomei and Lao Wang did not seem to have changed much, but the halo on Zhang Momo's forehead seemed to be slowly rotating.
As I thought, the first of the three people to change was mostly Zhang Momo. Zhang Momo is sharper than Lao Wang and Ning Kitten.
I wanted to see what the halo on Zhang Momo's forehead had become, so I sniffed and sniffed, the smoke dispersed more completely, leaving only a faint smell of burning sawdust.
Lao Shi felt that it was okay, so without saying a word, he silently walked back to the fire, added two pieces of firewood, and then sat down to smoke. I got into the bag, and as soon as I saw the halo above Zhang Momo's head, I felt that something was turning inside the halo.
I pressed back towards the halo on her forehead, and when my gaze focused on the halo, the rotating halo, like a silent whirlpool, sucked my gaze straight in.
My eyes and the halo melted together, and what the halo turned in was a scene of wandering flowers. The background of the picture, full of mountain peaks, towering into the clouds, does not need to distinguish too much to know that this is the plateau where Zhang Momo and their family have lived for a long time.
The picture rotates quickly, interspersed with fragments of daily life. I know that each left ear contains a different consciousness, and it may only represent an experience of the owner of the ear. Therefore, the left ear alone cannot connect a very complete memory.
However, some of the memories in the left ear are very important, and although they are only one paragraph, they are enough to unravel a mystery that happened a long time ago.
Wow......
Suddenly, a fluffy mass flashed out of the glow, and suddenly it looked like a monkey. But if you look at it twice, you will see that it is not a monkey, but a ...... It's me.
This memory was many, many years ago, and I didn't expect that I would keep it in the depths of Zhang Momo's memory for so long. These scattered memories may have been left behind when I first found them in Bath, or they may have been left behind in the subsequent companionship.
That furry face became clearer and clearer in Zhang Momo's memory. This shows that this face has been deeply imprinted in her consciousness, even if another hundred or two hundred years have passed, as long as her consciousness does not disperse, this memory will not disappear.
The face turned for a long time, and gradually it shattered like a piece of foam. The image in the halo continues, and when the face disappears, it is replaced by a dark underground space.
It was the gate space, it must be, I not only saw the gate space, but also saw Banda Chado, and also saw Lao Wang, Ning Kitten.
Time in the gate space seems to stand still, and if you look at the gate space, you can't tell when it was. I can guess part of the picture, though.
The owner of this memory is Zhang Momo, and the pictures in the memory are preserved from her perspective. She could see Bandacsada and see Lao Wang and Ning Kitten, but not me, which means that this is what happened after we were separated.
The memory is incomplete, but it doesn't matter, seeing Zhang Momo's memory, I can be sure that they were together after I was separated from the four of them at that time.
After we were separated, I was looking for them, and they must be looking for me, and they couldn't find each other, and they couldn't stay where they were all the time.
The Danmeng Basin was walked by me and Bandacsada and they together, and Bandacsada must have remembered the route. After searching for me to no avail, the four of them returned to the gate space of the Danmeng Basin.
Perhaps, in Lao Wang's simple thinking, I was separated from them after walking into the gate, so if you want to find me, you can only walk in from the gate and try again.
Right here in the gate space, they got into an argument. The dispute was mainly between Lao Wang and Bandacsada, and the gate we walked into was found by me according to the coordinates, and when they came back, they could not remember the gate clearly.
In such a situation, you can only try your luck. Based on his memory, Bandacsada chose a gate. This gate is actually the right one, the one I led them into. But Lao Wang put forward a different opinion, he and Bandacsada usually do not deal with much, after Bandacsaddo chose the gate, Lao Wang resolutely disagreed, he thinks, this gate is not the original one we walked together, Lao Wang should look for it carefully.
Bandacsaddo couldn't convince Lao Wang, and Lao Wang couldn't convince Bandadatsado, so the four of them stopped here in the gate space for a while. After all, Bandaca was calm, and the more noisy Lao Wang became, the more excited he became, and finally threw his arms and left.
After all, Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten were close to Lao Wang, and after Lao Wang left, Zhang Momo and the others went to chase Lao Wang. Lao Wang walked out a few meters away and was pulled by Zhang Momo. Zhang Momo at least kept a little sanity, the terrain of the gate space is so complicated, if you go far, you may get lost.
They no longer talk to each other, and at this point, the conversation is actually superfluous, because no one convinces the other. Bandacsaddo stood in front of the gate for a long time, perhaps he also felt that if he was in the company of Lao Wang again, he would still encounter such trouble in the future.
Bandacsaddo himself walked through the gate, and when he entered the gate, he was overwhelmed by the darkness in the gate, and he could not see him clearly.
After Bandacsada walked in, Lao Wang and the three of them stood for a while, and then slowly left. This time, Lao Wang became the leader, and according to his feelings, he found a door. He assured Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten that he was not mistaken, it must be this door.
The three of them had a conversation outside the gate, and finally, under the leadership of Lao Wang, the three of them walked into the gate.
