I tried to pull the soup twice, and the soup was pulled into the air by me, but as soon as I removed the strength of my hand, he sat down again.

Wu Lin also jumped down from the city wall, and after he walked to Tang Yan's side, the first thing he did was to open Tang Yan's mouth and look at it.

I noticed that the tongue coating of the soup was stained with some blue fluorescence.

"It seems that Liang Tianhu has been feeding him, this kid is not hungry." Wu Lin nodded.

Seeing Tang Yan's pale blue tongue coating, I couldn't help but worry: "What did Liang Tianhu feed him?" ”

"Needless to say, it must be the flesh and blood of the creatures underground, and there is no other food to be found here. But you don't have to worry too much, eating those things once in a while shouldn't have much effect on your body, at most it's just addictive. ”

"What happens after addiction?"

"For the next half a year, no matter what you eat, you will feel the same taste as chewing wax. This is not a description, but when he eats, no matter the texture and taste, it is similar to a wax block, and the feeling of drinking water is similar to drinking wax oil. After seven months, his sense of taste will gradually recover, and he will fully recover in about a year. ”

"How many years did it take for your sense of taste to recover?"

"Fifty years." Wu Lin said lightly.

This kind of understatement made me feel very unhappy, so I asked him, "So, in these fifty years, have you tried something that you didn't dare to eat before?" ”

Wu Lin didn't notice my bad intentions at that time, and frowned and asked, "For example?" ”

"Well, like...... Make—"

I deliberately pulled out the last word for a long time, and Wu Lin almost rolled his eyes.

However, in order to keep it cold, this product still couldn't help but turn it over.

At this moment, Tang Yan slowly turned his pupils to me, and I noticed that there was a little intellectual brilliance in his eyes, and I knew that he had come to his senses, so I subconsciously took out a water bottle and poured water into his mouth.

The two skins of this kid's mouth are all dry, and if he doesn't get any more water, he will crack the skin.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I poured in a small half of the water, a very painful expression appeared on Tang Yan's face, and a "vomit-" sound came out of his voice, spitting out all the water I had just poured in.

Wu Lin patted me on the shoulder from behind: "Give him a water bottle and let him drink it slowly, how do you pour it, he can't stand the smell of wax oil." ”

As he spoke, Wu Lin waved his hand, beckoned Liang Zi and Sister Ma on the wall, and led everyone on.

I thought to myself that Tang Yan had just woken up, so I should let him rest anyway, but I didn't expect that after Tang Yan took the water bottle from my hand, he quickly stood up, looking at his light hands and feet, it didn't look like he had just come back to his senses.

Halfway through, I had a few words with Tang Yan, and only then did I learn from him that he had not lost his mind at all, but that his spirit had entered another time and space.

There, he saw a lot of things that he had never seen before and couldn't understand now, but at the same time, he could still hear the conversation between me and Wu Lin.

And during the time he was imprisoned in the black pit, he never felt fear, he knew that he had eaten the flesh and blood of underground creatures, and he also knew that he would lose his sense of taste for a long time in the future, and even the sense of touch in his tongue and throat would change, but he never felt fear because of it.

On the contrary, during this time in the black pit, he was often able to communicate with a certain will in another dimension, and he felt unusually fulfilled in his heart.

When Tang Yan said these words, there was a coldness in his tone that was very similar to Wu Lin.

I finally understood how the coldness on Wu Lin's body came from.

I asked him, "What did you all talk about?" ”

Tang Yan tilted his head and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I don't know how to explain those contents in the language of this time, even if I do, like you......"

Before he could say the rest of the words, Wu Lin suddenly interjected: "In a sense, the old man is a creature in the second world, and he is higher than you and me. ”

Hearing Wu Lin's words, Tang Yan was in awe of me, and even his eyes were full of admiration, and that expression was like a layman seeing a Buddha statue, which made me confused.

However, I can probably guess that what Yu Yan was trying to say just now was "Even if it is explained, a low-level creature like you will not be able to understand it."

A year or two ago, Wu Lin was always because he and I were a special life form that was higher than human beings, and human beings were a kind of inferior creatures that were not worth mentioning. Recently, however, Wu Lin's thinking seems to have changed.

At this time, Tang Yan changed his tone and finished his words: "I really don't know how to explain it, mainly, I don't know how to phrase it." Seriously, if I had the wisdom of Lao Tzu, I might be able to explain it to you in plain language. ”

I asked him, "Then do you really understand what the will of the other space said to you?" ”

"I can roughly understand that at that moment, my IQ has evolved."

Why did he say such things with a kind of arrogance in his tone that made people want to hit him?

What happened to this child?

Wu Lin turned back to me and said, "When I first came out of the inner world, I was like him, I always thought that the wisdom of the inner world was more advanced than the surface world we were in, and I once thought that the survivors of the quadruple space were all life forms that were higher than human beings. I knew that later I found out that the table world had conquered the inner world, and I understood a truth, these two worlds were originally in the same dimension, and there was no such thing as who was higher than whom, considering that the inner world was eventually conquered by the surface world, and even extinct, it shows that our ancient civilization is far more advanced than them. ”

These words attracted Tang Yan's objection: "But the wisdom here cannot be explained in the language of the surface world." Language is the greatest crystallization of the wisdom of a civilization, and even the crystallization of our wisdom cannot explain any of the terms in the inner world, is it not enough to show that they are superior to us? ”

Wu Lin immediately threw out a question: "Come, you can explain two lines of poetry to me in the language of the inner world: Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk." Let's solve it. ”

Tang Yan pondered for a long time, and his face became a little stunned: "I can't solve it." ”

Wu Lin made a concluding remarks: "The two languages have nothing in common at all, so they cannot understand each other. It can only be said that the civilization of the world and the civilization of the world are two civilization systems that have almost no point of intersection, but this does not mean that who is superior to the other. ”

Hearing these words, Tang Yan looked a little disappointed.

Just a few seconds ago, he did think that he had evolved and become a higher life form than humans, and now he was beaten back to his original form by Wu Lin with a stick, so it was no wonder that he was not disappointed.

In fact, I guess that Wu Lin has only recently figured out this problem, after all, when he saw people other than me before, the expression on his face was written with contempt, and if that expression was translated into one sentence, it would be "You low-level creatures are not worthy to talk to me."

I have to say that Wu Lin has indeed changed a lot in recent times, but I don't know if such changes have something to do with Lao Jiang.

Lao Jiang is also a big boss this year, and Wu Lin has been single for so many years, if the situation allows, the two of them can indeed make do with it, I remember the last time I went to Savage Mountain, Lao Jiang had a good impression of Wu Lin, but at that time, Wu Lin had always regarded Lao Jiang as a low-level creature, and there was really no possibility between the two people.

Probably because my nerves have been so close these days, as soon as I relax a little, I will continue to think about some nonsense, and this kind of thought is not at all transferred by personal will, it will come out of itself, and I can't control it at all.

Next, we traveled on the Red Earth Plain for three full days, and except for the occasional encounter with a few lonely creatures in the inner world, we did not see a large gathering of creatures like the one in the cave.

Basically, every twelve hours of walking, Wu Lin would find a place to rest and wait until the sun rose the next day.

The diurnal variation on the Red Clay Plain is very regular, the day lasts only twelve hours in a long time, and the night disappears only for a brief period of eight, in this place, a day and night cycle can be completed in twenty hours.

Wu Lin said that in fact, there are many wild creatures on the red soil plains, and most of them are very fierce, but as long as we open at sunrise, it is difficult to encounter them.

This is indeed a very unreliable law, but it does exist in the Red Plains.

Three days later, when we passed by the last man-made ruin on the Red Clay Plain, Wu Lin decided to rest on the outskirts of this ruin for two hours, almost five hours before sunset.

This violated Wu Lin's iron rule of walking for twelve hours before resting, and I immediately realized that if we went any further, we would have to leave the Red Clay Plain and enter a territory that Wu Lin was not familiar with.

Sister Ma lit the alcohol pot and boiled the canned beef, the soup had lost its sense of taste, so she sat aside and drank cold water and ate compressed biscuits.

I'm really curious about what Tang Yan saw in that black pit, and why he can easily accept the loss of taste without any psychological burden.

Wu Lin beckoned to me and told me to show him the golden silk scroll.

It just so happened that I also wanted to take a good look at the ancient scroll, so I also came to Wu Lin's side and studied the contents of the ancient scroll with him.

The two of us were sitting facing the alcohol lamp, and the fire was shining right on the back of the gold scroll.

Because the scroll itself was relatively thin, some of the firelight could even shine through it on my and Wu Lin's faces, and we could clearly see that near the center of the scroll, there was a long shadow, which looked like a carefully concealed mezzanine.

Thanks to Sister Ma's alcohol lamp, otherwise we might never have been able to detect this anomaly.

Wu Lin tried to pick the edge of the shadow reflected by the firelight with his fingers, and heard a weak "hiss" sound, and the surface of the scroll was actually torn open by his fingernails.
