Chapter 14: Qingmang
The question of the lamb's knee made everyone in the room curious - why did the giant nightmare jump over and step on the fish?
Zhou Yu is the most confused one, he doesn't have enough knowledge, he can't even do analysis, just looking at everyone's reactions, he suddenly found that Ah Ba was not interested in this question at all, I don't know if it was because he was too lazy to think about it or he already knew the answer.
"What did you do after you saw the Nightmare?" Xinyue reminded him, and there were more and more mysteries on Zhou Yu's body, and one unsolved came another.
Zhou Yu was shocked, and suddenly remembered that because of the threat of the hidden dragon, he had shouted in his heart to tell the nightmare not to go, he didn't know why the nightmare understood "don't go" as "attack me", but that could indeed be the reason why the nightmare attacked him.
He was surprised in his heart, but his expression did not change in the slightest, and he didn't plan to say it, because this matter involved the hidden dragon, and the hidden dragon was called by Taibai, and Taibai was sitting on the side.
Zhou Yu believes that Taibai is not a bad person, even if she is a sinner, but he doesn't know what she has to do with Qianlong, and he doesn't want to worsen his relationship with her because he says something about Qianlong, after all, she is the first person to help him.
So he had to play dumb.
Taibai also planned to pretend to be stupid, she had a secret of Zhou Yu, no less important than the first two, and decided not to say it for the time being, Beifeng's question was about the dream talisman, the question of the braised lamb's knee was about the nightmare, and the secret she mastered was about Yuecheng.
She is a sinner and cannot get close to the Moon Pillar, if she can unlock this secret, her survival in Moon City will be guaranteed, and she may be able to find a way to enter the rattan dream outside of the Moon Pillar.
Killing Nightmares can also increase Zero Strength, but you can't get Dream Runes, which are much more important than strength and speed.
couldn't get an answer from Zhou Yu, and the braised lamb knee didn't ask anything more; The north wind was pulled by Ah Ba, Ah Ba smelled enough, and the north wind just asked in passing, but he didn't get an answer, and it didn't lead to more questions; Taebaek decided to keep her question to herself and be a quiet listener, so the hut suddenly became quiet, and the sound of the rain suddenly became clear.
Crescent Moon talked about Zhou Yu's double power in just one rattan dream, which was a bit trivial compared to the problem of the north wind and the braised lamb's knee, and like Crescent Moon, they also thought that it was the result of touching the dream talisman, and given that no one else had been able to touch the dream talisman yet, this speculation could not be confirmed.
Ah Ba was tired of it, and gently pulled Beifeng's sleeve, signaling that he wanted to leave, Beifeng looked at Taibai, if she left with the stewed lamb knee, Taibai would be in danger if she stayed here, and someone must be watching nearby.
"Let's go, let's talk next time, I'm stuck here anyway, and I have time." Taibai stood up very simply.
Beifeng nodded and said to Zhou Yu: "If there is anything new to discover, let Xinyue gather us, everyone is exploring the secrets of Moon City, maybe we can find some useful clues from you." ”
"Okay, no problem." Zhou Yu nodded.
He has no intention of hugging his thighs, but he hopes to maintain a good relationship with these people, nightmares are not terrible, because their purpose is very simple, they just want zero strength, but people's hearts are difficult to figure out, where there are people, there are conflicts, one more friend and one more way, saying that he likes Ah Ba's character is not to please, it is to say from the heart.
But people who like simple personalities are usually not very simple.
…………
After everyone left, Crescent Moon continued the previous topic: "You covered your eyes and screamed just now, because you used a dream talisman?" Was your vision able to penetrate the object at that time? ”
"yes, what kind of dream talisman is that? It would be nice to be able to see through, but my eyes hurt so much that I couldn't even think, let alone fight. Zhou Yu sighed, this problem is very serious.
"That's the [blind] dream talisman." The new moon said: "[Blindness] will make you unable to see any color, but it can make your vision penetrate all objects, see dangers or hidden things that cannot be seen under normal circumstances, blind people usually have a keen sense of hearing, this dream charm can also make you hear sounds within your line of sight, and the intraocular pressure increases when you use your ability, resulting in pain, but the pain is related to the strength of your ability, the higher the zero force, the farther the vision, the more painful your eyes, and similarly, the higher the zero force, the stronger the tolerance for pain, such as the arm is cut off, and if the zero force is low, it will be painful, After the zero force is high, it will only feel like a deep cut, you only have 206 zero force, you should not see far, it will not hurt too much. ”
Zhou Yu recalled the previous scene and said: "I saw far away, and it hurt so much that I guess I couldn't feel it when my arm was cut off." ”
"Then it may also be related to your touching the dream talisman, the first dream talisman you get is [Qingmang], which means that the one you touch is [Blind]." Xinyue said in a deep voice: "From another point of view, your zero force is very low, but the effect of the dream talisman is very good, the price is only pain, the pain can be used to, and the effect of the dream talisman can only be slowly increased by increasing the zero force, and your pain makes people jealous." ”
Zhou Yu nodded, and asked again: "I used [Blind] just now, so how do I use [Qingmang]?" ”
He can tolerate the pain, but he can't go beyond the limit, and judging from the current situation, it is better to use this dream talisman sparingly or as little as possible.
Crescent Moon replied: "It's the same, [Qingmang] and [Blind] are both continuous abilities, the difference is that [Blind] will continue to consume zero power, [Qingmang] only consumes once, you can see the dream talisman you have in your mind if you think carefully, you can use it as you want, use it once to turn it on, use it once to turn it off, you can also use several at the same time, but the zero power consumed by using the dream talisman at the same time will increase significantly, it is not as simple as 1+1." ”
"Oh, I'll try first." Zhou Yu closed his eyes and quickly found the two dream talismans, just like when he chose, the dream talisman emitted a soft white light in the dark, the one on the right was the [blindness] that made his eyes hurt sharply, he had seen it in a flash before, and the one on the left was [Qingmang], which was still the first time he saw it at this time.
He chose [Qingmang], immediately felt his arms sink, and quickly opened his eyes.
"No?" Xinyue had been looking at Zhou Yu and saw that no weapon appeared in his hand, thinking that something strange had happened again.
"Yes, it's armor." Zhou Yu raised his hand with some difficulty and rolled up his sleeves.
There is a silver metal arm armor on each arm of both hands, the front end has a guard plate to protect the back of the hand, and the back end has a sharp angle to protrude the elbow, the arm armor is very heavy, with exquisite patterns engraved on it, the pattern of the left and right hands is symmetrical, and there is a regular triangle relief on the guard plate on the back of the hand, and the sharp corners are in the direction of the fingers.
Xinyue shook her head: "[Qingmang] must be a weapon, it can't be an armor, you try again." ”
Zhou Yu looked over and over for a while, but didn't find anything that could be equated with "weapon", no matter how he looked at it, it was a pair of arm armor until he clenched his fist.
The weapon is hidden in the armour, and once the fist is clenched, a blade sticks out from the front end of the guard on the back of the hand, thin and sharp, three fingers wide and about twenty centimeters long, and the blade retracts when the fist is released.
"You're used to using your fists?" Xinyue is very curious, the weapon of [Qingmang] is related to the usual tools, tools may be hammers, wrenches, bats, spatulas and the like, each has its own purpose, the hand is a multi-purpose tool, but the use of the fist is very limited, it is used to hit.
Zhou Yu nodded: "I'm not used to using weapons, I usually let the other party shoot first, and then strike back, and make counterattacks while being attacked, which is a very important combat skill in today's society." ”
"Why?" The new moon grows more and more curious.
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Now the streets are full of surveillance cameras, fights will definitely be filmed, if you hold a weapon, the nature will be more serious, the police will come to investigate the responsibility, the way to determine responsibility is to see who does it first, and then the one who does not hold the weapon will usually be judged as legitimate defense, which can save a lot of trouble." ”
"You fight a lot? Is it really a coffee shop clerk? Xinyue asked the same question as Taibai, and Zhou Yu didn't look like a wage earner no matter how he looked at it.
Zhou Yu nodded: "It's really a clerk, and it's not a regular fight, it's just a little more than others." ”
Xinyue didn't ask any more, looked at Zhou Yu's arm armor and said: "It has attack power, does not hinder action, and can provide good defense, and can also free your hands, which is very good for arm guards, you can give the weapon a name, and you can take it out when you call in your heart, so as to avoid having too many dream charms in the future and making it troublesome to find." ”
"Can you still call it out? That's convenient. Zhou Yu began to think: "What's it called?" Odd zero arm? Touching the moon and picking up the stars? Explorer armguards? It's not very smooth...... Well, it's called '11'. ”
“11?” Xinyue was stunned for a moment because of this special name.
"yes." Zhou Yu pointed to the triangle on the hand guard and said: "A triangle represents 1, and the arm guard also looks like 1, a pair of 1, it is 11, it is okay to call it one by one, it is okay to call it eleven, it is simple and clear." ”
He yawned.
"You rest, I'll talk about the dream talisman tomorrow, I can't wake up when I yawn in Moon City, it's best to find a safe place to sleep immediately." Crescent Moon stood up and prepared to go out: "I usually stay near the moon pillar. ”
"There's another question, didn't you warn me not to tell anyone about Moon City?" Zhou Yu asked with his eyes half-closed.
Xinyue said in a deep voice: "There is no need, there will only be two situations when you tell others, one is that the other party does not believe you, usually people who don't know you well, and will only treat you as a madman or liar and cut off contact; One is that the other party believes in you, usually an acquaintance who will trust you, but there is no way to enter Moon City, and what you say is also adding trouble to the other party, so it is better not to say it. ”
"That's the truth, it's better not to say it." Zhou Yu nodded and closed his eyes: "Thank you, Father Crescent." ”
