Chapter 355: The ...... of the Ancient Sculpture and the New Green Vine

The basic laws and regulations of the star balance, the heart of longing will never be forgotten.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xiaoxi stood at the edge of the wide square, looking up at the huge sculpture tens of meters high in front of her, a strange shape she had never seen before...... Of course, if you spend some time in the Holy City, you can easily recognize it as a scale, a huge sculpture of a scale that seems to be made up of countless intricate mechanical gears. It was placed on the edge of the square, and the two trays almost landed directly on the ground.

In the balance tray on the left is a miniature model of stars, and next to it you can also see planets with exaggerated and distorted proportions surrounding it, while in the balance tray on the right is a carving of a group of Shiokai people standing together and looking up at the sky, standing at the front of this group of Shiokai people is an elderly man holding a slender bone staff.

This balance is balanced on both sides and remains completely horizontal.

The sculpture is apparently some years old, and it is made of some unknown material, but it certainly does not look like pure metal. There is no rust on the surface of the material, but it is covered with green algae that wrap around the sculpture and grow everywhere, relying on the small sun above and the light of the surrounding electrical appliances for photosynthetic growth.

"This is it?" Xiaoxi stretched out her hand and gently touched the ancient sculpture, which had many wrinkles and scratches up close, and looked at the Xihai man behind her who claimed to be her leading teacher. In the introduction just now, she already knew his name: Shanfeng, a strange-sounding name that gave the impression of being the opposite of the teacher himself.

This is the first Xihai person Xiaoxi met after arriving in the Holy City, a leading teacher named Shanfeng, a guy who is quite familiar and has no shelves, although his various ways of introducing the black history make people feel a little speechless, but it has successfully diluted a little of the despair caused by the disappearance of Yunyun, at least Xiaoxi began to feel that it seems good to have such an interesting leading teacher.

However, after introducing each other, Shanfeng took Xiaoxi directly to the huge scale sculpture at the edge of the square, without explaining in detail, only that this was something that freshmen had to do when they first arrived in the Holy City, and most of the other students who had arrived earlier had already walked through it. As she got closer to the large sculpture, she saw that there seemed to be some neat words engraved in front of the base of the scale, but it was not covered with crazy algae like many places above the scale, but was obviously under careful care to keep the words visible.

"The most basic rules of the Holy City are engraved here." The face of the leading teacher, who looked a little off the line just now, also became serious at this time, compared with the relaxed place before, the surrounding of this sculpture seemed to be filled with a serious atmosphere, and every Xihai person who passed by here had a solemn expression, so those children who came here for the first time also couldn't help but stop laughing, "The people of Xihai who come to the Holy City for the first time must carefully read those rules here, and then swear that they will abide by all the rules here, and those rules that cannot be violated are engraved on them, The consequences of violating them ......"

He stretched out his hand and pressed it on Xiaoxi's shoulder, and there was no hint of joking in his tone: "Xihai people who don't follow the rules will die." ”

Xiaoxi broke free of the palm on her shoulder a little unnaturally, she seemed to be able to hear the terrifying chill in Shanfeng's tone, and her intuition told her that this was definitely not a joke, and among the rumors she had heard in the past, the people of Xihai who tried to violate the basic rules of the Holy City were all severely punished in the end.

"But don't worry too much." Shanfeng regained that mocking tone, and stood in place and watched Xiaoxi slowly walk towards the stone tablet engraved with the regulations, "Generally speaking, what is written on this is a very serious problem, except that it is absolutely impossible to distribute the items that are readily provided in the Holy City that exceed the limit, and other terms are not something that most people can easily do, don't worry too much." ”

Xiaoxi nodded, looking up at the Holy City regulations carved on the stone tablet, she still knew how to read...... The size of the Holy City is limited, and the time students can stay here is also limited, so the Holy City has not been responsible for preschool education such as numeracy and literacy for a long time, and it is all a problem for the parents of the children to solve on their own, which is also the reason why most of the Xihai villages have very few children, they do not have so much time to teach all the children the basics, and generally only choose the smartest children to educate.

Of course, as for the situation that the adults in those villages do not have the relevant cultural knowledge, the Holy City will make some special arrangements.

Therefore, when Xiaoxi looked at the Holy City regulations engraved on the base of the balance in front of her, which were several meters high, she directly recognized the three large characters on the top that seemed to be shining because they were inlaid with some kind of fluorescent liquid.

"Eh, the Basic Law?"

……

It took Xiaoxi a while to read the Basic Law of the Holy City engraved on the sculpture in front of her, as Shanfeng said, these regulations are actually almost the most basic regulations, such as not killing people at will in the Holy City, and other obvious things, usually Xihai people with normal three views will not do these crazy things, and there is nothing unreasonable about the corresponding criminals being punished by the regulations.

However, after she read these hundreds of words of rules, she turned her head and was surprised to find that Shanfeng had been standing not far away and looking at her: "Why is the teacher still here?" Don't need to pick up other new students in charge? ”

"......" Shanfeng didn't answer immediately, but touched Xiaoxi's head after being silent for a while, and looked at her with pity, "The teachers in the Holy City Division are divided according to the region, and there is only one settlement in Salted Fish Village in the area near Qiuming Mountain, and there has never been a student before this time, and this batch should have had two freshmen, but ......"

Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, those desperate memories came to her heart again, she looked at the square not far away, and seemed to vaguely see Yun Yun's pitiful appearance after being knocked with a knife, but this phantom was shattered in the next moment...... Yun Yun was not here, she was not able to come to this sacred city in the minds of the people of Xihai at all, and the trip that she was looking forward to completely changed on the way......

She will not return to the place where Yun Yun disappeared, and the people of Shiokai have never erected tombstones for the dead as they did thousands of years ago, nor do they mark the location of burial in any way where the dead died. Ancient legends say that if there are too many acquaintances who stay in the place where the deceased died, then the deceased will not be able to truly get rid of their obsession and go to the infinite heaven in the heights, and they will not be willing to let the deceased stay for themselves.

However, at this moment, Xiaoxi hoped that Yun Yun's soul would at least come here to take a look, to take a look at this magnificent sacred city, and to see the artificial sun that emitted thousands of rays of light above, otherwise how could she leave willingly? In the dark, she seemed to hear Yunyun's voice looming in the sea.

Actually, you're right here, right?

Xiaoxi laughed lightly, and said silently to the empty sea in front of her, "I will never forget you...... Forever and ever. ”

……

However, from Shanfeng's point of view, the girl looked at the empty place with sadness, but then she laughed so shallowly, and at the same time she didn't know what words were muttering in her mouth......

Isn't this kid going to be hit too hard and going bad?

He sighed softly and looked at the plaza not far away, which had begun to become more and more sparse, and the dazzling light of the artificial sun left a staggered shadow on the square. Shanfeng squinted her eyes at this scene, and after thinking about it for a while, she seemed to have made up her mind, and touched Xiaoxi's head again: "Now, do you want the teacher to take you to an interesting place, it's a secret." ”

"A secret place?" Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, but she was indeed successfully diverted, "Is it really okay to go directly now?" ”

"In fact, there is nothing for the freshmen to do at first, that is, follow the leading teacher to find their respective dormitories and settle down, and then you can wander around the Holy City casually, and you are simpler, you don't even have luggage ......" Shanfeng raised her hand, and her fingers, which were not covered by the exoskeleton, pointed to the entrance to the wide building complex in the Holy City in front of her, as if with a strange smile, and the cheeks on both sides of her cyan cheeks were also slightly opened, "Then I'll just take you to see that fun place first, This is a secret location that few people in the Holy City know about. ”

"Huh? Teacher, this is probably a place that you shouldn't just enter. Probably the expression on Shanfeng's face made Xiao Xi instinctively feel a little uneasy, the previous Holy City regulations didn't even write what kind of punishment she would receive after violating it, but it was this unknown thing that made people feel even more frightened, anyway, it was definitely not a trivial matter.

"It's okay, generally speaking, other rules in the Holy City are not a big problem, as long as you do things according to the Basic Law, it's not so easy to make a big news." As she spoke, she had already begun to walk in the direction she had pointed before, chuckling and taking Xiaoxi's hand, "The reason why it's a secret is because most people won't go, not because they're forbidden to enter. ”

"Huh?" At this time, Xiaoxi was completely attracted by the so-called secret of Shanfeng, what is the place that most people will not go? She was also intrigued, but she later found out that ......

"Ah, teacher, is this the building where you want to bring me?"

"That's right, this is the ...... Library! ”
