Chapter 186: Talking
Lang Tianya was thinking about a question all the way, why is the matter of the Boundary Bead so mysterious? Whether it is on the earth or here, it is a sensitive issue involving the top people, and most people know little about it, and no one can tell the truth about it so far. Whether it's the real NASA or the fake paper, they all agree that it's normal for the Boundary Bead to come back from outer space, and there's no need to look for it. It seems that there is some automatic return system on the delimitation bead, you don't have to bother looking for it, it will automatically return to the starting point when the time comes. This speculation worried him a little.
There are three points of evidence that can prove that the Boundary Bead is on him. One is that his body is different from ordinary people's performances, and only the Boundary Bead can explain this series of phenomena in him. The second is Zhang Fei's hard work on him, it seems that she knows that the demarcation beads, that is, the colorful beads on his body, and unremittingly conducts various experiments on him. The third is that the fact that he traveled to this distant world is the embodiment of the function of the Boundary Bead. Aside from these three circumstantial evidences, he did not directly feel the existence of the Boundary Bead physically. For example, there is a big golden pill in Jue's dantian and the like.
The fake paper said that the demarcation bead might have hundreds of millions of card slots, but the professional spiritual power measuring instruments in the village and the star light detection talisman had not been measured. In other words, although this demarcation bead is attached to his body, it is likely that it exists in a specific way, or a deeper way.
His feelings about the Boundary Bead were mixed, all his sufferings were actually brought about by it, but he was able to live until now because of the various abilities it endowed. The thing that worries him the most now is that one day, this demarcation bead will start some built-in program, and it will be troublesome to take him directly to the aviation bureau, and at that time, he can only let people want to slice and slice, and want to make soup. But now there is no good way for him to avoid this kind of thing, and he seems to have no other way than to seize the time to learn and grow, and take the first step to figure out the mystery of the Boundary Bead. It seems that the ease of his dreams is really just a dream.
Lang Tianya sorted out his thoughts and decided to put aside the pre-boundary bead in advance, so that his attention could return to the present, back to how to escape. After returning to the cemetery, he did not shout, but easily found Xiaobu's hiding place according to some clues such as broken grass and trampling marks on the ground, which was only about 100 meters away from the cemetery. I saw Xiaobu nesting in a hidden bush, sleeping soundly. Lang Tianya said in his heart: "This kid's heart is really big. ”
Lang Tianya stepped forward to wake up Xiaobu, told him that he had a question to ask him, and motioned for him to speak quietly.
"What is the form of material exchange between you and the outside world here?" Lang Tianya asked.
"Psionics use the Magical Passenger Conveyor Station for long journeys. The principle is similar to that of the Dark Domain, using a large transport talisman to 'compress' the guests into the dark realm as much as possible, and then using a powerful talisman to launch the transport talisman at a very high speed, and after reaching the designated location, the transport talisman is then unfolded to release people. However, the conveyor talisman is only partially 'compressed' to people, so it is not as high as the spiritual power value required by the Dark Domain, and it can be used by those with spiritual power above the subtle realm. This is a convenient mode of transportation. As for freight, materials containing spiritual power, such as rune bones, pink rice, and vegetables produced by Pink Star, can also be transported in this way. But ordinary items are generally not used, because it is too waste of resources, and ordinary items are usually trafficked through merchants. ”
"Do you have to check your identity when using this mode of transportation? Identification or something? ”
"Not really. However, ordinary strangers will roughly measure the spiritual power value to prevent ordinary people from mixing in. It's not that this mode of transportation can't transport ordinary people, but when there are ordinary people, the resistance is too great, it consumes too much aura, and it also consumes too much talismans, which is simply time-consuming, laborious and costly, so ordinary people are generally forbidden to enter. Except, of course, the privileged. ”
"Tell me about the whole process from entering the station to sitting on the talisman, departing, arriving at the station, and leaving the station."
"As soon as I entered the station, I said hello to the management staff and asked if I could make up enough waves? According to the regulations, there should be ten people in a wave, but we are a small city, and there are not many people in and out. So we've got eight people here......"
"Wait, that is to say, there is no card at this passenger station, and it is not punctual, when to leave mainly depends on whether the number of people is enough, isn't it?"
"Yes!"
"It's really a country place, and it's too casual."
"What a country place, the same is true of a big city! The passenger station has always been a wave of enough, it has always been like this, what is the use of punctuality, it is convenient. ”
"Why are you so inaccurate here, the length of time is calculated by fingers, the time of twelve fingers, this is a special unit of measurement. By the way, how do you specify the length and speed? Let's put it this way, the distance from here to the cemetery, what do you say? "The place where they spoke was about a hundred meters from the cemetery, and Lang Tianya wanted to determine the unit of weights and measures here, and compare it with the earth, so that it would be convenient for the two sides to communicate when it came to issues such as distance and speed in the future.
"It's about sixty steps from here to the cemetery."
"Is this 'step' a unit of measurement? Whose footsteps will prevail? ”
"Of course it's my steps. If it were yours, I would have seen more than one hundred and twenty steps. ”
"It's not! I mean, your world has a universally accepted measure of distance and length, right? "Lang Tianya was a little angry.
Xiaobu thought for a moment and said, "Not really." We don't have a uniform length standard here. It's all a rough calculation according to your own pace. ”
Lang Tianya completely collapsed, he didn't expect that this highly developed talisman civilization world would not have a unified weights and measures, he asked unwillingly: "What if it's a long distance?" For example, how would you describe the distance from here to that Xianglong City? ”
"Of course, take a long-distance transportation talisman from here to Juwei City first, and then sit on a talisman from Juwei City to Xianglong City, and if you are lucky, you can arrive at noon tomorrow."
"Alas!" Lang Tianya sighed, he decided to give up his efforts to compare the weights and measures of the two realms, and he motioned to Xiaobu to continue the boarding process at the passenger station.
"After making up a wave, everyone sits into the transport talisman, and then the talisman is compressed, and the talisman is sent into the launch pipeline, and then the firing talisman will generate a huge force to launch the transport talisman, and it will arrive at the passenger station of the designated other cities along the fixed line. Our Fenlan City is just a small city, and there is only one route to Giant City, but Giant City is a lot bigger, and it has hundreds of routes to various cities on the Pink Star. ”
Lang Tianya thought for a moment, and then asked, "Xiaobu, in your eyes, what does this world look like?" For example, can you see the spiritual currents in nature? For example, in your eyes, what form do other people look like? ”
Xiao Bu didn't understand why Lao Lang was asking this, but he still replied honestly: "I can feel the flow of aura in the dark domain, but I can't see the aura with the naked eye." In the same way, I can sense the existence of other people's dark areas with the dark domain, but I can't see other people's dark areas with the naked eye. What can be seen with the naked eye is only the bright part of other people's bodies, and the light and heat emitted by others. ”
"It turns out that others can't see this colorful aura world, only I can see it." Lang Tianya thought, he found a little more about himself. And not only can he feel the dark domain of others, he can also roughly see the depth and shade of other people's dark domain.
"Can you feel the difference between different people in the Dark Realm?" He asked again.
Xiaobu thought for a while and said: "I didn't pay attention to this, because to distinguish people's individuals, it is enough to mainly look at their appearance, who will feel the dark domain of others if they have nothing to do, if you must rely on this to distinguish the differences between people, it should be said that you will have different feelings for different people." ”
Alas! Lang Tianya sighed again. In this world, it seems that it is also difficult to disguise, at least much more difficult than on the earth, not only to have the requirements of appearance, but also to do the camouflage at the level of the dark domain. But he feels that things are man-made, and as long as he works hard, it is not impossible.
"The location where I want Lao Shi's residence is the same old Shi who just said in the village office that he would screen the crossing slaves in the Nether. And the location of the village canteen. Lang Tianya had long noticed that Xiao Bu was similar to Lao Shi in terms of height and body shape, and Lao Shi had a white face and short beard, and his characteristics were obvious.
Xiaobu told Lao Lang these two addresses, and Lao Lang then asked him: "Are there any children in the village?" A kid about my height? ”
"There are only two children in the village, one of them is a girl, still young, shorter than you. The other boy is a little older and a little taller than you. He is the son of Lin Shanglang, who lives in our village and is usually taken care of by the old people in turn. ”
"Do you know who he is there today?"
"I don't know, I don't usually pay attention to this."
Lang Tianya fell into deep thought again. Xiaobu didn't bother him. The two were relatively speechless for a while.
After a while, Lang Tianya said: "I'll go into the village to do some business, and you're still hiding here." With that, he dodged away again.
When Lang Tianya came back again, he took back a lot of things in large bags and small bags. Xiaobu opened it and saw that there was a bag of gray hair, a bag of clothes, the color and style of the clothes should be old stone, and two small clothes, which were children's styles, and a small bag was a large piece of wet dough.
Xiaobu couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing with these things?" ”
"Change your look. Let you become an old stone. ”
"This is Lao Shi's hair? The clothes are also old stone? ”
"Easy to disguise, of course, the best effect is to use the original!"
"You didn't do anything to Lao Shi and that kid, did you?"
"What do you think of me! Of course it's okay, I've done something, and Lao Shi and the kid will only sleep a little longer. ”
Lang Tianya said while busy on Xiao Bu's head and face, and after doing it for a while, he asked Xiao Bu again: "You tell me about programming, and see if there is any way to make your dark domain feel closer to Lao Shi." ”
After talking about programming for a while, Xiaobu couldn't help but ask: "Decorate me with an old stone, this is the way you came up with to escape?" ”
Alas! He heard Lao Lang sigh for the third time, and then heard Lao Lang say: "Now that the other party has almost all the personnel around this Tianqing Mountain, the city is the emptiest. So now we're going to have to venture into town, and I'd like to try out what it's like to have high-speed rail in your world. ”
