Present World: The Town of the Uncharted
It was as if he had fallen into an ice hell, it was obviously just a dream of his own, but the extreme cold still made him breathless.
It's as if every inch of my skin has been frozen to death, stiff, and shakes off the ice ballast when I move.
Everything turned pitch black, and Bai Yusheng struggled to wake up from this dream, and he struggled desperately to free himself from the frost.
"Wake up...... Wake up, hell ......"
This feeling is too real, and what you feel in the dream will feel the same way.
Bai Yusheng felt that he was suffering greatly in the dream, physically, mentally, as if his whole body was going to be oppressed and distorted, he couldn't bear it anymore, and tried to wake up.
The darkness around them began to crack like glass, and the entire space was crumbling.
He saw a bright light that seeped through the cracks and shone on his face, melting the frost and snow.
Finally, the illusion was completely destroyed. Bai Yusheng felt warm, and the sheer brightness of the day made his freezing feeling gradually fade.
Bai Yusheng stood in a splendid peach blossom forest, the petals fluttering in the wind around him, and turning into a cloud of red dust.
Back to reality?
He felt some pain in his skull, and there seemed to be phantoms of countless people in front of him, wandering through the forest like ghosts.
Bai Yusheng heard their voices.
"That's it...... Is it here? Minghui, so beautiful. ”
"Thank you Donghuang Taiyi for guiding us here. ”
"I hope that everyone can live happily ever after here, without war, without killing, only with us ......"
The sound suddenly disappeared, and the phantom gradually dissipated. What exactly is this sound?
Thousands of peach blossoms burned almost into red flames, sweeping thousands of sparks in the wind.
Bai Yusheng suddenly opened his eyes, and found that he was lying in a room. Beneath him was a mattress topper, and an oil lamp was lit on a mahogany bedside table beside him.
"Here?"
Bai Yusheng sat up and saw a girl in ancient costume lying quietly in front of the dressing table, her sweet face reflected in the mirror, her eyebrows lowered, and her cheeks were faintly apricot red.
It's tomorrow's night.
Under the firelight, Bai Yusheng found that tomorrow and night were like rouge, with an indescribable cuteness. Before, he only said that she was a strange girl, as if she had traveled back in time......
"Childe...... Are you awake?"
Bai Yusheng was startled, and saw that tomorrow and the evening gently rubbed his sleepy eyes, and then a pair of eyes as clear as water were looking at him curiously.
"I, I, I, just call me Bai Yusheng, otherwise, that, it's okay to call Xiaobai. He nervously avoided his face, and the sweat of the bean was dripping, "It's too strange to call Childe." ”
Tomorrow nodded in confusion, "I see, Bai Gongzi." ”
"It's all said to get rid of 'Childe'......" Bai Yusheng wiped his sweat, it seemed that the ancient people still paid attention to etiquette, "Anyway, why did I come here again? Every time I wake up, I am in a different place, and I am also very troubled." ”
Tomorrow Sun held his face and thought, "Because you fainted during the ritual." I can't help it, so I'm carrying you to my house. ”
"You...... You carried it alone?!" Bai Yusheng was taken aback, and couldn't help but think of the scene when she pulled herself back from the waterfall with one hand.
He hurriedly jumped up and looked around, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that tomorrow would be like a muscular girl on the news.
"Nope. Actually, I'm using that person's power. Tomorrow closed her eyes slightly, and seemed a little embarrassed, "I also know that the girl's family shouldn't be like this." ”
"Who?"
"The man in the dream. ”
Here they are again, all the words they don't understand. Coming and going are dreamers, and now you're awake!
Tomorrow and Xi explained quite seriously: "As the resonance goes by, you will become more and more like the person in your dreams, and you will share his abilities." ”
Bai Yusheng nodded as if he didn't understand, although it sounded mysterious, but after experiencing so many strange things, he slowly began to believe it a little.
The person in the dream, he can also be as calm, calm, and ...... as that person Can't you?
"But if he suffers, you will suffer, and you can empathize with each other. If necessary, you can actually help him through empathy. "Tomorrow and the night is like a mentor, very patient to explain, "the other is ......"
When he said this, Bai Yusheng's stomach suddenly let out a strange cry of "resentment", interrupting tomorrow's words.
Bai Yusheng was a little embarrassed, holding his stomach, and seemed very embarrassed.
"Is Childe hungry?" asked Tomorrow Eve kindly.
"Probably. Bai Yusheng's face was almost red to the root of his ears.
Tomorrow and Xi didn't think about it, so he said directly: "That's right, you've been in a coma all day." Then I'll take my son to supper. ”
"Supper? wait......" Tomorrow and evening, without waiting for Bai Yusheng to finish speaking, he took his hand and left in a hurry with him.
What Bai Yusheng never expected was that going out to eat supper at night was not only not a bad thing, but also a shocking thing, yes, the peach blossom source at night, indeed, made Bai Yusheng feel extremely shocked.
When he opened the door, he saw a brilliant display of fireworks in front of him. The marquee lantern hangs across the ancient street, and between the alternation of light and shadow, all kinds of streamers are reflected in the river, and as soon as the cruise ship passes, the lights are crumpled into thousands of points of light.
"Good, so lively. ”
Bai Yusheng looked at it in surprise, the wine flags were displayed in front of the snack streets on both sides, and the men and women walked under the lanterns, without the slightest trouble, without sadness, everyone was talking and laughing, and everything was as prosperous as the ancient prosperous times in the past.
"What does Bai Gongzi like to eat?" tomorrow and night quietly reminded Bai Yusheng, who was in a daze.
"Oh, is there Chongqing hot pot, snail noodles are fine, uh, otherwise what ......about Dongpo meat?"
Tomorrow and Xi are at a loss.
Bai Yusheng couldn't help patting his forehead, "Oops, I forgot." You don't know any of that, so what kind of dishes do you have here?"
Tomorrow Xi put a finger in front of his lips and thought, "Well, I prefer pastries...... And then there's the Donghuang cuisine, and the owner of that shop says he learned it from the man in his dreams. ”
"It's a dream man again...... Bai Yusheng muttered, "Then Donghuang cuisine, I want to taste the taste of the dream." ”
"Okay, Bai Gongzi. ”
To put it simply, you can't change it.
But then again, it's really beautiful.
The peach blossom tree stretching out of the courtyard sprinkled petals on the top of Bai Yusheng's head, and the stone staircase under the peach blossom tree and the mountain gate leading to the green mountain were all peach.
And although the ancient town is lively, it is also indescribably quiet. I don't know why, but there is also an inexplicable sense of foreboding, and the more peaceful it is, the more unsettling it is.
As a backpacker who travels all year round, Bai Yusheng has never seen such a place. He thought to himself that he must write a story about this place when he goes back.
What is it called...... "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring"? It's not good, Tao Yuanming has used it. Then, "The Secret History of Peach Blossoms" doesn't seem to be appropriate.
At this time, when Bai Yusheng was looking around at the scenery, he unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a person in a dark alley, he trembled suddenly, it seemed that some seventh sense was doing tricks, he felt that the person was peeking at him coldly.
"Who?!"
The man was gone. Is it an illusion? Bai Yusheng thought of those foreigners again, but they did not leave him with this palpitating sense of peeping, as if he was being watched by the devil.
"What's wrong?" tomorrow and night found that Bai Yusheng's expression was a little wrong, and the cold sweat that flowed out kept sliding down his cheeks.
"No, nothing. I'm not sure ......" That being said, he really felt the creepy feeling in those eyes......
The sense of foreboding grew stronger.
The two were about to continue walking, but somehow there was a terrible scream from the street in front of them!
The voice came from afar, setting off a chain reaction, and the whole street looked in that direction.
A lot of people are running for it. Fear was written all over their faces. A child ran and fell, followed by a large group of men and women with large patches of blood on their clothes.
"What's going on up front?" Bai Yusheng began to feel a little nervous, and his palms were already soaked inadvertently.
He heard the sound of gunshots, which pierced the night sky and startled the birds of a tree, and the sound sounded particularly harsh, touching Bai Yusheng's nerves in an instant!
There shouldn't be such a sound in an ancient town. It was a product of modern technology, and it was invented to kill.
- Are those people!, he suddenly realized.
Bai Yusheng took tomorrow's hand in a panic, "Let's go, let's go!" He remembered those people that day, and he finally remembered that those people were also in this world, and they didn't leave, even in the Peach Blossom Garden, it was not peaceful!
I don't know why they let him go in the first place, but if he was caught a second time, I am afraid that he would not have such good luck.
"Childe ......?"
"Let's go, hide, listen to me!"
The commotion behind him became more and more difficult to contain, and the town's trappers in charge of maintaining stability picked up their sticks and ran towards the end of the street.
As a result, however, the gunfire was getting louder and closer.
Bai Yusheng forcibly pulled Ming Rixi to hide in an inconspicuous alley, he squatted behind a large vat, and watched carefully.
At the end of the road, out came a Westerner in a court dress, wearing a pair of monocles and a pair of mustaches held high.
Bai Yusheng had seen this foreigner, and he was with the Japanese!
He was followed by three or four mercenaries with FAL rifles, all of them unusually sturdy, with griffons tattooed on their bare arms.
The Westerner, in awkward Chinese, shouted at everyone: "I announce that tomorrow, this town will be taken over by the 'Empire'." You inhabitants of the Second Dimension, you must strictly obey our orders, or these people will ......"
He used the eagle-headed cane in his hand to point at several people of the ancient town behind the mercenaries who were handcuffed, and put the other hand to his lips and whispered to the captives.
"Bang...... Go to hell. ”
