Chapter 220: The antelope hangs its horns

Wang Xika and the grey beaver strolled on the top of Yosemite and walked towards Phoenix Ling's home.

Wang Xijia has been to many places in his past life and in this life, and the scenery of many scenic spots is indeed very beautiful. But there are few places where the scenery is as beautiful as Yosemite.

As far as the Americas are concerned, the Alaska Ice Field, the Yukon Basin in Canada, the Denali Snow Mountain, the Niagara Falls, the Yellowstone Volcano and other places that Wang Xika has walked all the way through are all beautiful scenery, and they are also famous tourist attractions in later generations. But compared to Yosemite, it is still a little inferior.

For example, the scenery of Yosemite can score about 100 points in the scenery of mountains and forests.

The cliffs here are cliffs, straight and steep, and they look very majestic. The trees are also very upright, and there is no sick aesthetic of appreciating the crooked willows of diseased trees in ancient China.

Looking into the distance, I saw that the four sides were purple and red, the forest was dyed, and the river was clear. The scenery is very layered.

There are also waterfalls and streams in the mountains, which are really towering mountains and green, and they rise out of the sky. Feige Liudan, next to the landless. There are lofty mountains and mountains here, dense forests and trees, and there are clear streams and turbulences, reflecting the left and right. If you cultivate immortals, it is an excellent place to go.

And the phoenix feather is indeed like the legendary fairy life: it is the phoenix that goes out to ride, and the bald eagle that usually eats - it can be said that it is not touched by the fireworks of the world.

It's okay and I like to take a nap, what is it if it's not a fairy day?

"Have you two already taken a nap?" Phoenix Ling really woke up, and saw that Wang Xika and the gray beaver were still full of energy, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No, we don't have to take a nap, let's go. Wang Xijia was anxious to see the paintings left by Yuan Zhenren. He was intrigued by another time-traveler in this world.

When the traverser came to the ancient wilderness, although he could rely on the scientific and technological knowledge of later generations to make a performance in ancient times, but in essence, the traverser was lonely.

There are many things that only fellow travelers can understand, and Wang Xijia still remembers how happy the conversation was with Yuan Zhenren when they first met in Peach Blossom Town. At that time, he thought that he would soon meet a group of traversers, but in the end, it was only himself. It's been so long, and I don't know what Yuan Zhenren is doing.

"The two really strange people can be energetic without taking a nap, wouldn't that be a lot more time than ordinary people?" Phoenix Ling is still struggling with taking a nap.

It is really a very strange thing to modern people: in modern times, people can sleep whenever they want. Some people sleep at night and have energy during the day, but some people like to sleep during the day and play all night at night. Everyone has long been surprised.

Don't say you don't take a nap, even if you don't sleep for three days and three nights, no one will find it unusual. However, in the flood era, there was not so much nightlife, so most people rested at sunrise and sunset.

When everyone around you takes a nap, those who don't have to take a nap become amazing.

"Time is like water in a sponge, there's always something to squeeze. Wang Xika began to recite famous quotes to Phoenix Ling.

"What is a sponge?" Phoenix Ling had never seen a sponge, so Wang Xika had to change the analogy: "Time is like water in the leaves, as long as you squeeze hard, there will always be time." ”

Phoenix Ling really understood this metaphor. "But why squeeze the leaves? Isn't it nice to make him green? Why do you spend so much time, isn't it comfortable to sleep happily every day?"

Feng Fengling's words reminded Wang Xika of a joke he had heard in later generations: a rich man traveled to Cuba and saw that the local fishermen were miserable, so he asked him why he didn't go to work in the city.

The fisherman asked him why he wanted to work in the city, and the rich man said that he could make a lot of money by going to the city because of the opportunities. The fisherman asked the rich man again, why make a lot of money?

The rich man said that if he made a lot of money, he could come to the beach to fish. The fisherman smiled and said, "Aren't I fishing on the beach right now?"

It is said that contentment is always happy, and this fisherman is undoubtedly a contented person.

I have to say that this story still very aptly sums up the character traits of people in Central America: they are lazy, but they are happy.

The Aztec Phoenix Feather is undoubtedly the same kind of person.

Wang Xika didn't want to argue with him, but said, "What you said also has some truth. Let's go, take me to see Yuan Qingniu's paintings, you promised. ”

"Well, let's go. Phoenix Ling beckoned Wang Xika and the gray beaver to go up to the phoenix together. The phoenix shouted and flew eastward.

"What do you usually feed the phoenix?" Wang Xika was very curious, generally speaking, if you want to ride a horse, then you have to feed the horse. In ancient times, there was a post station, and horses needed to eat grass and rest after running a hundred miles. I ride a dinosaur myself, and when I ride a buffalo, I also have to feed the dragon and feed the cow.

But it seems that Phoenix Ling has never been seen feeding Phoenix. If you don't give the animal food, why should the animal listen to you as your mount?

"Don't feed it, Phoenix will go find something to eat herself. You can fly for three days if you eat once. Phoenix Ling replied.

Wang Xijia was suddenly very interested, so he chatted with Phoenix Ling:

"What does it eat, dinosaur?" the only time Wang Xijia saw a phoenix hunting, when a phoenix wanted to eat his mount, Cullinan.

"Eat whatever you see, eat the fruit, eat the cow, eat the dinosaur you said, this thing is not picky, just eat enough. ”

"How long do you mean by flying for three days, and how often do you rest?"

"If you are willing, you can fly for three days, and you can circle the earth, which is what you call two circles of the earth. ”

It seems that this phoenix is really a cost-effective means of transportation, and it has great stamina. Among the animal mounts known for their stamina, Luo is a very hardworking animal. However, compared to the phoenix, it is still too far behind. Basically, camels have to rest every day, and although camels can go without eating or drinking for a long time, if you ride them every day, you still have to feed and rest every day.

And the phoenix can fly for three days with a single meal, can do round-the-world travel, and does not need to be fed. It can be said that the practicality not only far surpasses that of camels, but is even better than the so-called modern traffic workers in later generations.

In later generations, cars can run about 500 kilometers with a tank of fuel, and even if it is a new energy vehicle with a hybrid of oil and electricity, it is very remarkable to be able to run 700 kilometers. Even if it is an airplane, it will run thousands of kilometers with one refueling, and if you want to run tens of thousands of kilometers, you still need to refuel in the air.

This phoenix is almost equivalent to a nuclear-powered aircraft, and it is very safe without worrying about radiation.

"Then why do they listen to you if you don't feed them?"

"If you kill it a few times, it will naturally be afraid of you. Then you make friends with it, and it will naturally listen to you, and this bird is human. Phoenix Scale said.

I see, it seems that taming animals is similar to taming people, nothing more than the use of grace and power.

The phoenix kept flying, and Wang Xika only felt that the scenery below was becoming more and more familiar. If you look closely, it turns out to be the Grand Canyon of Colorado.

"Hey, hey, I'm familiar with this place, you let it fly a little lower and take a look. Wang Xika said.

So Phoenix Ling let Phoenix do ultra-low-altitude flight, and Wang Xijia could see the monkey people playing on the Colorado River. Among them, the most fun is the wild leek, Wang Xika threw a small stone and smashed it on the head of the wild leek. The wild leek likes to throw stones at people in the river all his life, but he didn't expect that he would be thrown stones one day.

Therefore, sooner or later, you will have to pay it back.

"Where are we going?" Wang Xijia was very happy to see that he had just finished playing tricks on wild leeks.

"Didn't you say that you want to go to see the paintings?" Phoenix Ling only felt strange, obviously it was the place you were going, so she came to ask me.

"No, I mean, is the place where you can see the painting far away?" asked Wang Xijia in a different way.

"It's not far away, it's almost there. "Whether you say it's a coach or a horse-drawn carriage, you always hear that when you ask the driver how far away.

However, this time Phoenix Ling did not deceive Wang Xijia, and not long after flying over the Grand Canyon, it commanded the phoenix to stop on a bare plane tree.

Wang Xika noticed that only the plane trees in Yosemite and Phoenix Valley had leaves, and the plane trees in other places were bare.

The phoenix stopped on the highest branch of the sycamore, and Wang Xijia could only climb down the tree. Fortunately, everyone is a primate, and they are very good at climbing trees.

On the lowest branch of the branch, a herd of antelopes hung their horns on the branches, and it is not known who put them on them. Wang Xika was about to ask who was playing a prank, when the herd of antelopes jumped off the tree and ran away......

It turns out that this group of antelopes is taking a nap, and when they take a nap, they have a characteristic that they like to hang their horns on branches without sticking to the ground, which looks very fun.

In fact, this phenomenon was introduced in Lu Dian's "Piya Release Beast", and an idiom "antelope hanging horns" was derived, which is a metaphor for detachment.

"Let's get here, let's come down. Phoenix Ling took Wang Xika and the gray beaver to a gap under the plane tree.

Wang Xika saw that this gap was very narrow, just enough for a person to pass, and if he grew a little fatter, he wouldn't be able to go down. Jumping down only to find that there is a lot of space. In fact, the characteristics of this kind of canyon cave are the same as described in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring": it is extremely narrow at the beginning, and it is only when people are connected. After dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear.

The scenery in this gap is extremely charming. The red sandstone has been washed away by the torrent, and the sunlight shines through the cracks, and with the flow of the sand and gravel, the light changes as if the whole canyon has life.

Wang Xijia suddenly thought of what kind of place this was—Antelope Canyon. Antelope Canyon was also a famous scenic spot in North America in later generations, known for its magnificent scenery.

Following in the footsteps of Phoenix Ling, Wang Xijia only felt as if he was a tourist, and Phoenix Ling was a tour guide.

"No, we're here, and the painting you're looking at is right ahead. Phoenix Ling pointed to a flat rock wall in front of him and said.

Wang Xika looked forward and saw that there were indeed some paintings painted on the rock wall. These paintings are also comic strips, but in terms of painting level, they are far less beautiful than Yuyamamiji's phoenix feathers, and at a rough glance, I thought they were stick figures drawn by elementary school students.

Although the painting is simple, the content is quite rich. After a closer look, Wang Xika only felt that five thunderbolts hit the top: I saw that this painting was impressively depicted of a man standing shirtless in the desert, with a bomb above his head. The next picture is a mushroom cloud rising up, and the shirtless man disappears - isn't this the scene from his previous life!

The paintings in the back are all familiar scenes: men come to another world, encounter war, and later draw airplanes, ships, and ...... Basically painted all of Wang Xijia's experience in this world!

In the lower right corner of the painting, there is a Chinese character inscription: Yuan Qingniu made in Hong Huang.

He also painted a small man with a flying sword and white beard and white hair, just like the inscription of Yosemite's mural. I think that Phoenix Ling copied the image from here.

"Where did the person who painted this picture go?" Wang Xika asked Feng Fengling anxiously.

"I'm going to the south, I guess it's in the palace. This person seems to be the guest of our leader," Phoenix Ling said.

The whereabouts of this Yuan Zhenren are really elegant. It can be said: the antelope hangs its horns, and there is no trace to be found.
