Revised Edition, Volume 20, Like Heaven, Chapter 9: Ancient Sacred Beasts (I)

I don't know where......

I don't know when......

The whole world was cold and dark, and I couldn't feel my body's presence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

So, is the existence of consciousness also fake?

Can I open my eyes?

Is there such a thing as eyelids or eyes?

……

"It turns out that Xiao Chen's world is so dark, and she still cared less about her in the past."

I don't know how long it took me to burst out laughing. But where are the organs that make the sound? Why am I so unconscious, but so conscious?

Xiao Chen? It's Chen Qi, it's what I call Chen Qi. My mind is clear, and my memory is clear, except for the vague details of the thrilling battle before I was beaten to sea......

War? Chen Qi? Conquer the universe? Is this all a joke? If it's true, why can't I feel real?

I couldn't sleep, my consciousness was very clear, but there was no physical presence that could produce fatigue. By the way, maybe it's because you're in danger, and your consciousness automatically avoids your inner world. I've been trapped here for a long time, but maybe only a second has passed from the outside world? Is your body falling apart under the stress of the deep sea?

It's been a long time since I've had this fear of not being in control of my fate. There's still a lot of work to be done, and I don't want to die. No, I've got to figure out how to solve the dilemma.

Although I think so, all I can do is keep saying to myself in the dark inner world:

"As long as you are lucky and your body is not destroyed, you will slowly recover your vitality after a while, and it will recover enough to support your consciousness, and then you will be able to get out of trouble."

Then he waited silently.

Without a clock, without the sun and moon, not even a heartbeat and pulse, there is none of the factors that can be used to measure time. I don't know how long I waited in the dark, but suddenly I felt a sharp pain, and then I felt a piercing cold all over my body. The eyelids returned to their bodies (or consciousness to their bodies) in an instant, and they tried to open their eyes to see that they were floating in the dark water.

It's seawater.

There was a dim glow on me, apparently a protective aura curtain that was automatically cast when I sensed danger. Under normal circumstances, the body protection air curtain does not consume too much divine power when maintaining, but at this moment, I don't know how long it has been since I fell into the sea, and the whole body divine power has been consumed a lot when summoning neo to fight, and after falling into the sea, I have to deal with the internal breath and shield under the condition of no oxygen at the same time, and at this time it is close to running out of oil and the lamp is dry. How long have I been drifting and how far have I drifted? There is no way to know. I tried to look around, but I couldn't see the light.

As far as I know, the loss of light in the sea is very high, and the normal daylight is completely lost at 20 meters below sea level, and the world below is pitch black. Where exactly am I? Twenty meters or two hundred meters, or deeper? Which direction is the sea surface? There is no trace at all.

It will probably take more than ten minutes for the divine power to be completely exhausted. At that time, not to mention maintaining my inner breath, without the protection of the shield, the pressure of the sea water would crush me into a ball of flesh in an instant, just like Dilling. He was smashed into a meatloaf by gravity, and I was squeezed into a ball of meat by the pressure, retribution, retribution, not good......

Suddenly, my ears seemed to hear something, and it seemed to be the song of a kraken? Euphemism melodious, swirling in my ear, and then gently disappeared.

I don't know if I can hear sounds in the sea, and I don't know if it's a near-death delusion. However, the soul-like voice did ring in my ears for a moment, and then it was gone. This was almost a lifesaver for me, who was almost collapsing in the dark seabed. But I couldn't move, I couldn't do anything.

All I could do was pray for the voice to come again.

At this time, there is a heartbeat as a time scale, and it is barely possible to calculate the time that has passed. About 600 heartbeats later, about seven to nine minutes later, I heard another trace of that sound, but it was followed by a terrifying muffled sound that made me want to run away in fear. However, I still couldn't move, but the aura curtain of the protective body was getting weaker and weaker, and although I still couldn't feel it, my nerves had already simulated the pain of being weighed down by the sea. People who are a little weaker will probably scare themselves to death before the suffocation and the air curtain disappears.

The curtain was almost gone, and the flow of internal breath began to slow down dramatically, and I began to suffocate. My world began to turn upside down, and countless turbulences swept my body into a swirling and flying like a fallen leaf, and if it weren't for the body protection qi curtain and faithfully performing its last duty, my body would probably be crushed by this turbulent undercurrent! In a semi-coma, I noticed a dimly glowing guy in front of me, a very large one.

Oversized dick.

Although consciousness has begun to blur, you can basically make out that there are more than a dozen modern class stacked on top of each other, right?

Amusing! Why did you have such a strange hallucination before you died?

Suddenly, my consciousness froze, and I remembered what happened to Jing Wei after falling into the sea. She claimed to have encountered a huge underwater beast and suffered a great loss. So, ahhh......h If this is what she encountered, I really admired her even more, she just "suffered a big loss", not being eaten by that guy!

Woo woo, it looks like this guy is going to be eaten as a snack by this guy. Not long ago, I was still laughing at the heavenly master Di Lin's death, and now he has ended up like this, and the person with a poisonous snake heart is really not rewarded in the end!

You must be a good person in your next life......

It was my last thought before I fell unconscious.

When you wake up, you find yourself in a Feria-style room. There is a pink Feria-style lamp lit with energy crystals at the head of the bed, and the atmosphere of the whole room is ambiguous and hazy.

I quickly checked myself, and my body was not too injured, but it was just swept in the back by Bahamut's dragon breath. Now the wound on his back has also been wrapped in gauze and Feria's ointment, and he feels okay. However, who exactly did all this?

While I was in doubt, the door was opened, and a little keel soldier saw me get up, and quickly shouted with emotion. I couldn't help but feel creepy: What is this for, looking for a helper to dismantle me together? But after thinking about it, it's not right, if you want to unload, it's good if I'm unconscious, why bother to wrap up my injuries and wake up before unloading? However, there are no wonders in this world, and it is not excluded that there are such psychopathic Ferians......

But no Ferias would be hostile to humanity right now, unless they think I'm a spy for the Overmars? This is a great injustice. It's a pity that the clothes were burned in the battle with Feng Luo, otherwise just looking at the color of the general's uniform, they should immediately kneel down and send me back with a sedan chair. No, I have to reason with them, hoping that some of them can understand Chinese or recognize Chinese characters.

So I rushed out, only to be surrounded by a dozen keellets. They didn't seem to have any ill intentions, they just stopped me from walking around, they didn't push and shove me, and they didn't give me two blows with a scythe to demonstrate. In fact, I am the most bullying person and afraid of the hard, since everyone can't understand what the other party is saying, the most effective way to make me quiet is to chisel me twice with a sickle. The more they didn't chisel, the more I felt that I had reached the territory of the friendly side, and the more arrogant I became, and I kept shouting: "Get out of the way, what are you ordinary people doing around this general?" It's just lawlessness - find someone who understands Chinese to come and talk! ”

At the end of the corridor came the voice of a man who knew Chinese: "General? What is that job title? ”

The keel soldiers around me dispersed, and from the other side came a slender woman dressed in the robes of a Feria mage. I saw her hair tied into a ponytail from afar, and my heart began to beat wildly. When she got closer and saw her face clearly, she was even more shocked to the lack of oxygen in her brain and crumbled - what appeared in front of me was Yoko Mido, a woman who had been missing for many years, and who had lived with me. Isn't that a hurried glimpse of Nibuchu entering the city really not an illusion?

Yoko didn't seem to recognize me, so she asked me, "General? Where are you the Great General? What preparation? ”

As I was stammering my tongue as I thought about how to make up nonsense, I suddenly saw my reflection on a bronze pillar in the hallway. Probably because of the weight of the sea, I was covered with wrinkles and bloodshots, and my face was even more miserable, like a seventy-year-old grandfather whose face had been cut off, and only a strong body could still prove that I was only about thirty or forty years old. In such a situation, probably acquaintances can't recognize each other even if they see it, let alone Yoko, who has been separated for more than ten years.

Strangely, Yoko looks a little younger than me, Chen Qi, and Jing Wei. There was only one explanation—from the moment she disappeared, she had come to Nebuchu. She had long since betrayed the human world and thrown herself into the original royal family of Feria.

Yoko saw me in a daze, and asked again, "Sir, may I ask your identity?" ”

I woke up like a dream, and I thought about it like a lightning bolt, I knew the general situation of the former Feria royal family and bureaucrats who had thrown themselves into the sky, and I had never heard of her existence, so the possibility that this place belonged to the territory of friendly forces was reduced by more than eighty percent in an instant. Before the situation is clear, it is better not to take the initiative to reveal your identity, and you should wait and see what happens. So he deliberately exercised his skills in his throat, so that his voice could be hoarse and old: "I am Han Dang, the general of the Overmars shogunate, which part are you, girl?" ”

Yoko tilted her head and thought for a moment, and said, "Han Dang?" I have never heard of this name, but I have only seen a captain named Han Zeng. ”

Fluke, fluke! It turned out that she had even seen a five-star decay like Han Zeng, but fortunately she didn't impersonate him! I quickly explained, "Han Zeng is now one of the four ministers of the Overmars Shogunate, and he is at the rank of 'Taishogun'. I am his distant cousin, who entered the industry late, and who has made some contributions under his care, and now belongs to the elde-twelve, and is greatly ............ by Overmars The marshal was given the title of 'Great General'. ”

The mouth was fast, and the speed of making up lies almost didn't keep up, and he almost called out Ovimas's identity as a "big general", but fortunately he re-spoke in time. Yoko nodded and said, "I see, I have heard of the names of the two shogunates of the human army, but I don't know much about it, and the distinction between these ranks is really complicated." Probably the two are not the same. ”

Obviously it was the same, but I must not give her a chance to check it, and hurriedly said, "Of course, it is very different." Girl, you're ......."

"I'm human, but not from the Human Army. In other words, your mortal enemies. Yoko smiled slightly: "I belong to the Royal Academy of Feria, after Hardy usurped power and surrendered to the enemy, those of us loyal to Feria escaped and formed an underground resistance organization. Our goal: to overthrow the puppet Third Reich, to expel humanity, and to restore the rivers and mountains of Feria! ”

When saying this, Yoko looked radiant and had a bit of a hot-blooded and angry demeanor. The more I listened, the more confused I became, and asked, "In that case, what are you going to do to save me?" Wouldn't it be better if I just died in the sea? ”

"There are not many humans who have taken refuge in Feria, and after the war, I lost a lot, and I was the only one left to join the resistance." Yoko smiled slightly: "Uncle, I really picked you up because I was very lonely and bored, just to find someone of the same kind to chat with." So you'd better not do anything that angers me or the Feridians, for even if you're a generalissimo or a generalissimo, you're just an ordinary captive to us, and you can be pinched to death like an ant, you know? ”

I'm now completely drained, and I'm really as fragile as an ant. Yoko told the truth, and I didn't have any reason to refute it, so I groveled and said, "I understand my prisoner's situation, and I will definitely be honest and obedient and fully cooperate, please give me more advice, girl." ”

The first conversation ended in such a strange and thrilling situation. I went back to the room and compared my current situation with Jing Wei's "change" at that time, and found that this kind of thing was indeed quite helpless and laughable for the person concerned. Now that the situation is unknown, I have to continue to disguise. So he transported the little divine power he had accumulated to his face to cause some slight damage, striving to make his face as unbearable as possible before the blood stains recovered. If Yoko really recognizes my identity, I'm afraid that the possibility that she will miss her old feelings is very low, but it is very likely that she will use me as a hostage to force Chang Hatian and the human army to surrender or exchange for huge benefits, right?

Yoko seems to be very busy, and although she comes to see me every three or five days, she can't stay for a few minutes each time. About half a month has passed, and my body has gradually recovered, but my divine power has still recovered very little. At this time, Yoko came to see me, as if she had plenty of time, and was not in a hurry like the previous times. I took the opportunity to take her words and asked, "Where are we now?" I saw a big monster before I fell unconscious, how did you beat it away? ”

"We're inside the beast. When we found you, you were floating thirty meters deep in the shallow sea, dying, but fortunately you were rescued in time. Yoko laughed when she saw my stunned look: "What contains us is the ancient beast that destroyed the heavens and the earth in the myths and legends of Feria. On average, it operates once every 18 years or so, and all the coastal areas involved are wiped out. Thus the narrative of it in Feriaism is divided into two schools. One faction treated it as an insurmountable wrath of the gods, and built shrines to worship and pray that it would no longer punish the world. This faction calls it the Sacred Beast of the Deep Sea; The other school believes that it is the product of the vengeful world condensed by ancient evils, and is the embodiment of sin, so they call it 'original sin'. ”

"It turned out that it was still in the shallow sea...... Is it too lucky to be able to meet such a giant beast? I stared into her eyes and said, "Looks like you now know what it is." ”

"Yes, I consulted a lot of texts and finally came up with a plan to capture it. You know? At that time, the human army was about to break Scantobo, and the people of Nebuchuli were panicked, and most of them had begun to plan to surrender, and even secretly killed the loyal men of Feria, which was indeed quite difficult to do. But we succeeded in the end! ”

My curiosity was aroused by her, and she hurriedly asked, "Eh, girl, since everyone is here, it is obvious that you have succeeded." But what is this beast? ”

Yoko seems to be in a good mood (of course, I've already thought about it, if I were in her position, I wouldn't have been able to find a few of the same kind to talk to in ten years, it must have been very lonely and boring, and now I found a listener, and I had to be a nonsense basket to say everything?). Therefore, the current situation is very conducive to espionage. It's just that my shogunate general Huang personally went out to spy on intelligence, which seems to be a bit overkill), clapped his hands and said: "Anyway, I can't make a big deal to tell you, come with me." This kind of thing is not clear, you have to see it with your own eyes to understand it. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't believe anything. ”

I followed Yoko out. She seems to have a high status among these Ferians, and everyone treats her with respect. It's just that the belly of this giant beast is too big, and we walked left and right for half an hour to reach our destination. Coming to an iron door, Yoko said, "It's here, get ready." ”

Before I could ask what I was going to do, she tied my eyes with a handkerchief, pushed me through the iron door, and after a dozen steps on the suspended metal floor, she untied the handkerchief that covered my eyes.

At this moment, my breathing stopped—

In front of him was a huge square about 400 meters wide and at least 600 meters long. There are a lot of huge equipment, computer terminals, and operators underneath. Although the operators were frail Feria's airmen rather than humans, dozens of colorful flags clearly belonging to the human world were flying on the left side of the square. I don't recognize most of these flags, but there is one plaster flag that I want to pretend not to recognize—the flag of the country has not changed since ancient times, and it is not as obvious as it has become after the change of political system in most other countries. But my intellect refused to accept such a ridiculous idea, so I turned to Yoko and asked, "What are you doing hanging your country's flag there?" Isn't he a loyal vassal of Feria? ”

Yoko narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "Did I tell you that I was from Wakoku?" ”

Indeed, Yoko and I have been speaking Chinese since we met again......

My heart sank slightly, and I had to pretend to be casual and replied: "Your Chinese still has a foreign flavor, and it looks like a typical East Asian race, so you can only be a Chinese, am I wrong?" ”

"You're right, but I didn't put up the flag." Yoko pointed to the row of flags and said, "The red five-star flag in the middle is your ......."

"The banner of ancient Huaxia, do you want to say that?"

Yoko grinned and said, "So you recognize, that's great." ”

I asked urgently, "What exactly do you want to tell me?" ”

"Let's go down and see, there's something we have to get closer to see clearly, it's too far away." Yoko reached out and grabbed my arm, almost pulling my stiff body underneath, dragging it for more than a hundred meters, and then stopped after getting much closer to the end of the square: "Look at what is there on the right?" ”

I looked intently and there was a huge banner hanging there. Its style is quite like the famous aphorisms in the ancient Chinese study, but it looks a little strange to hang in this place full of high-tech equipment. The banner was about 10 meters wide and 80 meters long, and each character on it was several times larger than my own, and it was written ten huge Chinese characters in ancient traditional Lishu:

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs

My mind was a little dizzy, and I wanted to fall to the ground. Yoko saw my discomfort and said, "The impact is big, isn't it?" When I first came here, I was so surprised that I lay on the ground for three or five hours. Even now, when I see the content of this line, I feel very impactful and domineering, and my whole body is full of power when I see it! ”

I disagreed with a faint moan, "Eh, girl, the true meaning of that line is probably quite different from your understanding......"

Yoko didn't hear clearly, and while looking at the ten Chinese characters with fascination, she asked absentmindedly, "Uncle, what are you talking about?" ”

I really couldn't go on in this place any longer, for fear that seeing something would break my spirit, so I held back all my strength before I said: "Girl, uncle is suddenly very dizzy, can you ask someone to send me back to rest?" (To be continued.) )
