Chapter 19: Ambilight
At the same time, Paltz, who was returning from the air, was secretly talking to the people who had gathered around him.
"Paltz, do you think this envoy is real or not?"
"I don't know if it's true or not, but the cursed pupil in his hand is fake!"
"Do you think he'll keep his promise?"
"I don't think it's that simple, if you're an envoy and you're on a mission with the orders of the Lord of Destruction, just give orders, will you give gifts? How many treasures does he have to give it away? “
"Of course not, which envoy is not a fox and a fake tiger!"
"So, our goal is not to figure out if he's a real envoy or a fake envoy, but to get the cursed pupil in his hands. When you turn back for the third time, you stay over Death Canyon for a while, and I'll negotiate with him. Let him wrap the ring and give it to me first, and then I'll call you to come and deliver it." If he refuses to cooperate, he will be cast into the fire at my command. “
"Then if the Lord of Destruction blames him..."
"Haha, he doesn't know how powerful the Ambilight in front of him is, and he won't give him a chance to open his mouth to the Lord of Destruction." Paltz chuckled.
The second time they turned back, the army had already carried two-thirds of the way. Zhou Yu was very satisfied, he stopped Paltz and said, "Good job, very efficient." The envoy is very satisfied, and the next time I turn back, this cursed pupil will be wrapped for you, but your wish will be gone. Luckily? The Governor said with a smile.
"Thanks to the Envoy's grace!" With another bow, Paltz turned and took off with his men. As soon as the gargoyles flew up, they suddenly felt their bodies sink, as if something heavy was holding the bird's feet. When I looked down, I was shocked. I saw that the body floating on the Death Valley was gradually petrified, from the feet to the legs to the torso and neck, quickly changing from a living giant bird to a stone statue. Napaltz was also shocked, and when he looked back, a strange picture came into the hollow eye sockets that he had not seen well: the Grand Governor was standing on the edge of a cliff, holding the cursed pupil to the sky.
"Despicable villain, you hurt me... Before he could finish his sentence, Paltz fell like a stone into a sea of fire, not even a single wave was raised.
The Metropolitan Governor looked at the winding fire dragon, where could he still find the body of a gargoyle, and said lightly: "I'm sorry, I changed my mind." “
The wind is still in the ears, and the horses are ashamed.
"What's inside, Governor, isn't it fighting? Still fighting? At the instigation of a few people who didn't know how to die, Zhang Xianzhong came up and asked with a face.
"Hit? Fight, will you take the troops down? The Grand Governor pointed to the sea of fire.
"Well, forget it, Governor, I'll bring the grilled sausages and eat them together." Zhang Xianzhong stuck out his tongue and quickly changed the topic.
The Metropolitan Governor cleaned up the mess of being tossed by the Paltz family, and turned to face the mirror called Ambilight, saying that she was a quiet lake rather than a magic mirror in the hands of a witch, and that there were countless secrets hidden inside.
Zhou Yu paced to the edge of the lake and looked down. The red, yellow and blue of the lake gradually changed color, and his reflection was also cheerfully changing colors, mischievous and tight. The Governor of the Metropolitan raised his hand and took out a strange whip, dipped the tip of the whip in the lake water, and lifted it again. I saw that the tip of the whip had changed to the color of the lake just now-blue, and it was still soft just now, but it seemed to be frozen after lifting it. He took the whip back in front of him and examined it as if it were really ice, and flicked it with his index finger.
"Ding!" With a crisp sound, the whip turned into a pinch of blue powder that was blown away by the wind and brushed across the Governor's cheek.
"Quick! Ten steps back for the whole army! Fast! "The Governor roared, this lake is too evil to freeze people quickly. Sure enough, the beauty that looks like it's basically a femme fatale.
"Governor Dadu, we still have dozens of people who have not jumped into the valley, and Lan Yu volunteered to break off. Since the water of this lake is strange and abnormal, why don't we observe the detour while trying to find a way to meet them? Jaylon whispered in the Governor's ear.
"Well, that's fine. If Sapphire finds out that the gargoyle has not returned, he will definitely go to the edge of the canyon to investigate, and I think if they don't find any clue, they will stand by in the stone hall and wait for the next order. The Governor said firmly. Lan Yu is a generation of famous generals and will not make assertions.
Zhou Yu walked along the shore of the lake, which was a huge lake, and there was no edge in sight, and after taking a few steps, he turned around and shouted: "Tuda and Jayron, you two soldiers each take two soldiers to advance along both sides of the lake, and return to report when the water surface begins to extend inland!" “
"Yes!" The two of them had to be ordered to go down and set it up.
No wonder the fire dragon roared behind him, but here it was a cool breeze, and it was indeed demonic. The Governor crossed his arms and stared at the lake, it turned out that there was some wonderful substance here that could quickly freeze objects, and it seemed that the Paltzs had come here on a full moon night for a special purpose, so what could it be?
Thinking about it, the Dadu Governor sent the god to put his whip into the lake again, and the lake was green at this time. Even more fantastical things happened, the whip lay there on the green surface of the lake, and did not sink into the water, like a freshly dead snake thrown on the ice. The Governor was amazed, everything in front of him was beyond the scope of his natural science knowledge, and no one except his elementary school physical education teacher could explain this phenomenon, and it was a pity that the elementary school physical education teacher died too early.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and this is the most common sentence he used in his year-end summary in his previous life, and it came in handy at this time. The Grand Governor crouched by the lake and waved his hand behind him, meaning to tell everyone to step back. The whip sank, lifted, sank, lifted... Grunt, his stomach screamed, and he thought of shabu-shabu, fat cow, hairy tripe, shutters, enoki mushrooms, your uncle's. Hungry!
One whip ran out, and at last one was left in his hand. The Metropolitan Governor looked at this handle, it can really be described as a "long whip in*out", I don't know if there is a way to turn this into a vibrator. Phew, what a mess.
But fortunately, the whip was not sacrificed in vain, and most of the governors figured out the law. There are six colors on the surface of the lake, red represents high temperature, and after entering, it is fired into powder; Green represents hardening, hard as flat ground; Blue represents the quick-frozen, and after entering, it becomes a quick-frozen dumpling; The three colors of purple, yellow, and orange are as rock-solid as green. The order of precedence is red, green, yellow, blue, purple, and orange. The Governor read a few rounds in a second-reading manner, jumping colors about every two seconds.
What if...
If you run for four seconds, run for four seconds, and then jump again, can you run wild in green and yellow, blue and purple, and jump in red and blue? The Metropolitan Governor suddenly thought of the flying man Ah Xiang, this is not the Olympics, it is not the Golden League, you can't say that you will retire from the game, if you run on the ice, it will be the Borderlands version of "Life and Death".
"Report, Grand Governor!" Jaylan and Tuda both returned, shouting together.
"Speak!"
"Governor, there is no end to this lake, this lake." Tuda said with a sad face.
"What? There is no end? What does that mean, you make it clear. “
"That's it, the last general will go all the way to the left for about five hundred zhang, and in front of it is a small mountain, about ten zhang high, and the lake turns straight inward at the foot of the mountain, and there is no end in sight."
"A hill of more than ten feet, won't it end if you climb it?" Most of the governors played him with a brain melon and laughed.
"Governor, that mountain, that mountain is the same as the stone hall on the other side of the sea of fire, it is made of huge stones, and you can't climb it!" Tuda's facial features were twisted together, and the Governor was shocked when he heard it. The mountain can be climbed, but a fifteen-story building with no windows, handles, and drains will never be climbed.
"Jayron, where are you?"
"And so it is." Jayron's face was solemn.
The Metropolitan Governor still decided to go in person, and returned to the original place behind the iron, and the entourage did not say a word, knowing that the current situation was that there was no way forward and no way back, and at this moment the Metropolitan Governor really wanted to sing a song "Left and Right".
He looked at the lake, still thinking about what he had just seen. The forty-meter-high vertical wall was a dam, and he could not convince himself that he could see such a magnificent dam on a continent of this level of civilization. Who built a dam here? What is the purpose?
However, this is not an urgent problem to be solved now, the question now is how to escape. The Governor is racing through the movie clips in his head, hoping to give him some inspiration: "Future Water World", "Doomsday Collapse", "Sky Rescue", "Ghost Beast Idiot Mature Woman*".
He called all the generals accompanying him and urgently convened a military meeting. As the Governor expected, all he saw was Gaba's face, and none of them had constructive suggestions. It seems that there is only one way to live and die, and he said his plan.
"No, Grand Duke. In case the lake extends inward for several miles, more than ten miles, and before it reaches the opposite shore, the people have run out of oil and lamps, and the consequences are unimaginable. Bai Qi stood up and was the first to stop.
"Yes, please think deeply. This lake is very weird, looking inward from here, the lake water changes color rapidly and the visibility is very low, such as some strange beasts in the center of the lake, it is too late! Xue Rengui also seconded.
"Governor, think twice!" Lu Bu also came to dissuade him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't take the risk of trying this method, do you have a good plan? On this expedition, the grain and grass accompanying the individual soldiers could last for three days at most, and a large number of supplies had been abandoned on the other side. Whether it's crushed or starving, we can only choose one. The Grand Governor said through gritted teeth.
"Here's what I came up with, I'll give it a try. If I don't return within half a day, you and the others will go to the dam with all your soldiers and dig a ladder with all your might, and maybe you will be able to escape. can only do their best and obey the destiny of heaven. Zhou Yu said again.
Seeing the dead expressions of the generals, the Governor laughed a little, comforted them, and said, "Aren't you born to do two things!" Either busy working or busy dying. Afraid of a ball? I'm afraid that this lake Lao Tzu was born by Lan Lan! “
With that, the Governor stood up, took off his rhinoceros skin vest, took off his sackcloth and threw it in the air, revealing his sturdy upper body. In front of everyone's eyes, he played a set of military physical boxing by the lake.
"Alright, I'm leaving. See you later? The Metropolitan Governor pursed his lips and smiled.
"Governor, I... Bai Qi wanted to speak and stopped.
"It's okay, you owe me more than 8 million on my ICBC card."
"Governor, take care... Tuda wiped away her tears.
"Tell Samanda that she looks better crying than laughing. Hey! “
Everyone knew that he had made up his mind, and this was the way of the Grand Duke, and when he laughed, he usually had a very simple mental activity and a very clear purpose.
"Governor, let the last general accompany you for a ride, okay?" Zhang Xianzhong unexpectedly threw off his vest and stood up.
"Don't, don't move, don't rob my business, choke okay, aren't you?"
"No, Grand Duke. The last general is the commander of the naval army, and my division is famous for the things on the lake. Besides, you are lonely on Huangquan Road, let's have a companion, and we can take care of it, you say? Zhang Xianzhong laughed.
"I'll go too!"
"I'm coming!"
"Count me in, Grand Duke!"
The accompanying lieutenants all got up and stood in front of Zhou Yu one by one, with a resolute attitude.
Dadu looked at these people in front of him, and his eyes were really moist. What is King? Here it is. When he knows that you will sacrifice your life for something called the hope of life, what he gives back to you is life and death.
"Lao Zhang, you come. Others sit down! “
"Great!" The corners of Zhang Xianzhong's mouth bloomed.
"The Grand Governor..."
"Shut up, let you speak? Are there any rules? Senior generals are not allowed to interject when speaking, and junior officers are not allowed to interject, otherwise they will have fifty slaps. The Governor's eyes widened.
The Metropolitan Governor told Zhang Xianzhong about the law of hurdles, and pulled him to practice by the lake for half an hour before standing by the lake, forcibly suppressing the sharp heartbeat and cheering himself up. Facing this brilliance that contained the greater breath of death, he let out a long breath, and his heart went blank.
"One, two, three, go!" When the surface of the lake was green, the Metropolitan Governor and Zhang Xianzhong catapulted out at the same time and stepped on the surface of the lake. Before, he told Zhang Xianzhong that to adjust his breathing, it is not about being fast but about the rhythm, and if the rhythm is not mastered, even if he runs fast and far, he will be buried in this colorful lake. In addition, when running, it is necessary to use the action of forward pounce reasonably, which can be used for a slightly longer period of time in the air and when the loss of physical strength is relatively large.
Looking at the two figures running and jumping away gradually, the hearts of all the soldiers were about to burst out of their throats, and they wondered if the Metropolitan Governor could hear these prayers. In the dictionary of the Grand Ducier, the strong do not need to pray, and the hero does not ask the source.
Running, running, the Governor estimated that there was nearly a kilometer to go, and his physical strength was losing quickly, faster and faster, and when he reached the bottleneck period, he had to grit his teeth and break through, and he still had some potential after the breakthrough. He glanced at Zhang Xianzhong, this kid was three or four meters away from his left side, and his breath seemed to be well adjusted, his face was ruddy, and his steps were not slow. However, there is no end in sight to the front, the front. The Metropolitan Governor hurriedly adjusted his breathing, he couldn't mess around, he couldn't be disturbed by other elements, he just had one purpose, continued to run, ran until he couldn't run, and went home.
With nothing ahead, keep running.
Running wild, running wild, all the time.
I don't know how long it took, but both of them had reached their limit.
Just when he and Zhang Xianzhong thought that they were going to die, after the two exchanged expressions of going on the road together, a black dot appeared in front of the right. The Governor suddenly saw the hope of life, as if he had been stimulated by the spicy hot spot of six yuan. shouted at Zhang Xianzhong: "Lao Zhang, this way!" “
Zhang Xianzhong nodded, the two of them adjusted their direction, used their last strength, checked the steps in their hearts, and jumped towards the black spot.
Closer and closer, closer and closer, the two men gradually saw clearly, it was a round stone in the middle of the lake, lying alone in the lake, like a huge millstone, about thirty or fifty people could stand. This boulder, this isolated island, brings hope to the two of them. In the eyes of the two of them, who burned the last bit of physical strength with willpower, the boulder that was getting closer and closer was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen in their lives.
Zhang Xianzhong suddenly exerted his strength, and in the last ten zhang, he increased his steps, surpassed the Dadu Governor, and rushed forward. Zhou Yu ran out of oil, he couldn't hold on, his speed slowed down, and his steps became more and more chaotic. Hurdles are like this, when the energy is gone, the rhythm is chaotic, and the more chaotic the rhythm, the faster the loss of energy. Seeing Zhang Xianzhong shouted.
"Huh!" Zhang Xianzhong jumped up in the last step, popped up a foot away, and then rolled forward and fell onto the boulder. Okay, okay. The Governor looked at him, his eyes blurred, he couldn't hold on. But it's good for him to go up and go up. The road ahead, I parted ways with you. Hopefully, we will be brothers again in the next life. Thinking of this, the Metropolitan Governor slowly stopped.
"The Metropolitan Governor--Jump!" Zhang Xianzhong's tears poured out like a collapse.
Jump.
"Governor - jump again!"
Jump...
"Dadu Governor--woo--" Zhang Xianzhong knelt on the grinding plate and burst into tears.
Forgive me, I just can't run. The Metropolitan Governor looked at Zhang Xianzhong crying, and a smile spread on his face. Forgive me, it's not that I don't want to, Lao Zhang.
At this moment, he saw Zhang Xianzhong catapulting down from the stone, checking the rhythm and running towards him. Don't, you fool, you madman, go back. The Governor wanted to shout, but he couldn't say a word, he was about to go into shock.
Just as he was about to stop, a large hand grabbed him.
"Jump, Grand Duke!" Zhou Yu subconsciously jumped along.
"Jump again, Grand Duke!" Zhang Xianzhong didn't know where he got the strength, and he jumped into the air with the Metropolitan Governor.
"Jump!"
"Jump!"
"Come on! Grand Governor! Jump! “
"Metropolitan Governor, I haven't been visiting the kiln with you yet!" Zhang Xianzhong shouted, the man's tears slipped into the air from the corner of his eyes, drifting and floating with the wind, slowly falling on the blue water, turning into a crystal with a ding, rolling on the ice, and then swallowed by the red red flame, but it seemed that it could not swallow the iron bones of the two men.
"Up!" In the last step, Zhang Xianzhong saw that the Metropolitan Governor had no strength, so he used all his strength to slam his shoulder into the back of the Metropolitan Governor, knocking him into the air. He continued to adjust his breath and jumped another step.
With a "bang", Dadu fell heavily on the edge of the millstone, and Zhang Xianzhong also jumped up, jumped to his side, half-squatted to look at his sweat-washed face, and smiled slightly. Then, with his back facing the sky, he fell on the grinding disc on all fours.
Two people, two big characters lying on the disc. There was no sound except for the sound of snorting and panting. The Metropolitan Governor turned his head sideways to look at Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhang Xianzhong also looked at him. The two of them didn't say anything, they were all grinning and baring their teeth.
After a while, the Governor said, "You, you pay the bill!" “
"W-What?" Zhang Xianzhong frowned.
"Mom, damn, just now, just said to visit the kiln!"
"Good, good, the end will pay!"
"Haha!"
"Haha!"
