Chapter 4: Silver Ball
The distance of three hundred meters is not a problem for Zuo Qingcang in the previous life, or Liu Zhicheng who is in good condition. But for Zuo Qingcang, who is now sore and weak, this is a journey that needs to be gritted and persevered.
Little by little, he swam towards the other party, then carefully grasped the other end of the plank, and the other hand grasped the stone, and slowly approached the other person on the board.
Zuo Qingcang flipped open the man's body suddenly, and the imaginary white smile did not appear. Instead, it was a purple and blue face. That kind of face Zuo Qingcang really saw too much in his last life, it was the face of a dead man.
He reached out and pressed his hand against the other's neck, not feeling any faint pulse.
'Dead?' ’
Not interested in lamenting that the only compatriot he met was a dead man, Zuo Qingcang began to drag the other party's body towards the shore, ready to check if the other party had anything he could use. Now that he is alone on a desert island, even a knife, a bag of dry food and the like can be of great help to him.
Finally dragging the man's body to the shore, Zuo Qingcang lay directly on the beach and began to gasp, a series of exercises that made his already exhausted body even more tired.
After resting for about five minutes, he slowly got up and began to examine the man's body.
At this time, Zuo Qingcang had time to carefully look at the man's clothes. The red robe, the crystal bun on the head, and the jade plaque around the waist. According to Liu Zhicheng's memory, this should be a canonized Taoist priest of the Great Qi Dynasty.
The so-called canonized Taoist priest is a Taoist person who is canonized and recognized by the imperial court himself, and enjoys a status equal to that of an official between nine and one grades. According to Liu Zhicheng's memory, these canonized Taoist priests are all aliens who really cultivate Taoism and immortal arts, and have powerful mana.
Like Ji Xingling, the current national teacher of the Great Qi Dynasty, legend has it that he has the ability to call the wind and rain and summon ghosts and gods. That's a popular figure in folklore.
However, Zuo Qingcang came from a technological era, and he didn't believe in these ghosts and gods since he was a child, in his opinion, the so-called Taoist priests and immortals are nothing more than deceptive things, used to deceive the rulers of those feudal dynasties, in order to seek benefits. There are too many such figures in the past history of the earth.
And Liu Zhicheng has not seen the aisle technique with his own eyes, and many of the legends he heard are very similar to the deception techniques in the history of the earth in Zuo Qingcang's opinion.
But the experience on the ship made Zuo Qingcang understand that this world is still different from the earth in the past. After all, compared to the earth, even if it is an alien, the aliens in this world have some special functions, and it is not impossible in his opinion.
Without thinking too much about the identity of the Taoist, Zuo Qingcang directly peeled off the corpse's coat. He showed a dagger on the other party's waist, and found a small burden on the **, which contained a palm-sized box, a book, and some bottles and cans.
I don't know what kind of animal skin this burden is made of, it seems that the waterproof function is very good, and the contents are basically not soaked.
And these things were all placed by the Taoist priest, and they were obviously very important things to him.
Zuo Qingcang pinned the dagger to his trouser belt, and then picked up the book first. The words written on it are completely different from the earth, but fortunately, Liu Zhicheng is literate, so it does not affect Zuo Qingcang's reading of this book.
On the cover of the booklet was written the four big characters of "The Fire Divine Jian", Zuo Qingcang looked through it, it seemed to be something like heaven and nature, which was obscure and abnormal, and basically difficult to understand. He shook his head and threw it on the ground casually.
Then he picked up the jars and jars, and there were five small thumb-sized bottles, which were red, green, yellow, blue, and purple. But he didn't write any words, and it was clear that the Taoist priest relied on color to distinguish them.
Zuo Qingcang picked up the red vial in it, carefully unscrewed the lid, and looked inside, and now it seemed to be some white metal powder inside. He opened several other small bottles in turn, all of which were metal powders and liquids of different colors.
In Liu Zhicheng's memory, everything about the Taoist priest is mysterious and weird, and naturally he doesn't know anything.
In Zuo Qingcang's memory, these things in front of him seemed to be in line with the situation in the history of the earth, where Taoist priests used all kinds of things to make alchemy. He estimates that these things may be similar to iron, carbon, lead, mercury and the like. These things that are extremely precious to Taoist priests are of no use to Zuo Qingcang now.
Putting away the small bottles in disappointment, Zuo Qingcang finally picked up the box. The whole body of the box was made of silver-white metal, and Zuo Qingcang weighed the weight of the box, and something seemed to be rolling inside. Judging from the contents of the previous few small bottles, the contents of this box may not be of much help to his current situation.
I saw that as Zuo Qingcang opened the box, a silver-white bead the size of an eyeball appeared in front of him, the surface of the bead was extremely smooth, and Zuo Qingcang could even see his face clearly from above, as if it was a mirror. It was hard for him to imagine that a feudal society like Daqi could process such things.
But it's such a small silver ball, why should it be placed close to you?
Just as he was thinking about this, he saw the silver sphere jump on its own, and then melt instantly like a candle, and directly drilled into Zuo Qingcang's body through his fingers.
Zuo Qingcang's right hand immediately stepped back, but it was too late, and most of the ball had already drilled directly into his index finger. Next, he threw it hard, trying to throw the ball out, but with just this flick, the ball all got into Zuo Qingcang's right palm.
He stared at his palms with wide eyes, completely confused about what was going on.
"Is that thing alive?" Seeing that he had not changed at all, and that his palm was exactly the same as before, Zuo Qingcang really couldn't imagine that such a lump of metal had been drilled into it just now.
After observing for about ten minutes, Zuo Qingcang couldn't observe where those silver metals had gone. His body didn't show any abnormalities, and he even wondered if he had hallucinated just now.
In the end, I had no choice but to ignore it.
Things in this world seem to be getting weirder and weirder. ’
After rummaging through the corpse, the most useful thing for Zuo Qingcang is the dagger at present. He put everything else together for the time being, and began to enter the grove near the beach himself.
After solving the water and plant problems with the guò leaf coconut for a while, he needs to light a campfire to help him get through the rest of the day. Fire is a great source of human progress, not only can he help Zuo Qingcang survive the cold nights, but also help him cook food, send out signals, and defend against some animals that may have zài.
In the woods, Zuo Qingcang found some wood and hay that had no moisture and piled them together.
Then he used a plough to light a fire, specifically cutting a wooden handle with a dagger, and then digging a small groove in the wood, using the wooden handle to rub the groove of the base back and forth, rubbing the charcoal-like substance, and then lighting the campfire.
With the solution of water, food and fire, it also means that Zuo Qingcang is in no danger today for the time being.
In the following time, his physical condition gradually recovered, and Zuo Qingcang showed an amazing ability to survive in the wild. He built a bed out of bamboo in the woods, used a bamboo spear to catch fish offshore, and made a beacon fire out of a fire to alert passing ships to help.
The reason for his mastery is that he learned wilderness survival techniques from a man named Bell Grylls in his previous life.
Two days had passed in the blink of an eye, and the vicinity of the beach had completely become Zuo Qingcang's territory, relying on coconuts, fish, and plenty of sleep, his body had basically recovered, so this morning, after lighting the beacon fire, he walked along the beach with a dagger hanging from his waist and a spear in his hand.
His goal today is to walk around the island and see how big the island is in front of him, and whether there are any human beings living here. Let's see if we can find a water source.
Next, Zuo Qingcang spent about a morning around the island, and now this island is not big, and it is indeed a desert island, with cliffs in the north, and the south where he is located is dominated by sandy beaches. He plans to venture deeper into the woods and the heart of the island to see if he can find a long-term source of water.
In his spare time, he didn't have anything to do, so he also took the time to look at the so-called "Fire God Jian", and now the feature films in it are all obscure, and the text of various metaphorical terms, it can be said that Zuo Qingcang can understand every word, but he doesn't understand it when it is connected together, so he gave up reading this book.
Although the whole situation does not look optimistic, Zuo Qingcang himself does not know how long he will survive on this desert island next, but he still maintains a positive feeling, which is also a skill he learned in his previous life, that is, not to despair under any circumstances.
So on the third day of arriving on the desert island, Zuo Qingcang took a coconut as dry food, a knife, a spear, a Taoist robe, and a rope made of hay under the condition of eating and sleeping enough, and headed towards the center of the island.
This island is indeed not big, and there are no traces of large animals living in Zuoqingcang along the way, but the woods are getting denser and denser, the road is becoming more and more difficult to walk, and the light moon is getting dimmer and dimmer.
Along the way, Zuo Qingcang cautiously continued to advance for about two hours, and then there was an unexpected appearance.
He found a building wrapped in trees, which seemed to be too old, and a large number of vines and trees grew in the cracks of these broken walls, and finally wrapped the building again, and it was very difficult to distinguish between them.
Zuo Qingcang swung his dagger and cut down the vines on a piece of building debris, which now seemed to be the top of some kind of building, and he stretched all the way to the ground. He suspects that most of the buildings may have been buried by mud and rotting leaves, as well as rainwater.
Zuo Qingcang didn't expect to see the ruins of human buildings on such a deserted island, which shows that there were humans living on this island. He looked carefully at the tops of the buildings in the woods, and now they had many hollow squares in them, about the size of a human head.
These hollows are a bit strange, as a window seems too small, people can only stick out a head, but small animals should be able to easily get through.
Zuo Qingcang looked at it strangely a few times, and then walked towards the center of the island, the more he walked inside, the more and more various ruins and wreckage, all kinds of broken statues, attics, gave people a strange but majestic strange feeling.
Looking at these buildings in front of him, Zuo Qingcang thought in his heart: "No matter what nationality the people who built these buildings are. Judging from these buildings, their civilization was not lower than that of the Great Qi Dynasty. It is unlikely that it was exhibited on such a small island. ”
But why did they build so many buildings on a desert island, and why did they leave?
At this moment, the sound of a tree branch breaking sounded behind Zuo Qingcang, he turned his head quickly, and a cyan face with a hideous face and wrapped in vines appeared behind Zuo Qingcang.
