Chapter 196, cutscenes
Now that everyone has agreed and made peace, the travelers are of course free to observe and study the seal that has enveloped most of the Thracian royal palace.
It took them twenty days to map the entire seal. The next task is to clean the stones and dirt around it, so that this huge ellipsoid, which has a long axis of more than 500 meters and a short axis of nearly 30 meters, is no longer bound by the dirt and can be moved more easily.
As for how long this work will take, then no one knows.
Under everyone's compulsion, the former engineer, the pig-headed man Lao Bai picked up the drawings and surveying boards he had left behind for many years, and tried to recall the civil engineering knowledge he had learned back then, calculating how much earthwork needed to be excavated and how much work was needed - no way, although the education of the traversers was generally not low, there were very few who had really learned this kind of professional knowledge. The other few people must have been much more professional than the two knives he had eaten for years, but they were all sealed in the huge ellipsoid.
Therefore, I had to rush the ducks to the shelves.
"I've only been 'on the shelf' for ...... in my life," Lao Bai complained, very dissatisfied but helpless to put into work.
And the other traversers are not idle, many of the hands and tails of this war need to be ended, and many things can only be done by them personally, and if they are ordinary people, they may not be able to calm the scene.
Now the group of "Inhumans" has officially stepped onto the big stage of the Western Continent world, from the southernmost mermaid country of the archipelago in the south, to the dwarf kingdom of the ironstone mountains deep in the snowfield in the north, to the fishing port of Thrace in the west, and to the village of the "narwhal headland" in West Vanlyka in the east.
Bards sing the praises of their bravery and integrity, magicians marvel at their immortality, scholars dig through historical records for clues, and adventurers reminisce about the stories of their fellow inhumans who appear to be "Inhumans......
In normal times, travelers would be happy to find a tavern, have a drink, and hear what people have to say about themselves. But right now, they're not busy.
Two-thirds of the manpower was suddenly reduced, and many things that were originally easy became overstretched. Everyone is so busy that they can't wait to divide one person into two to use, and overtime has become commonplace, and many people complain that they are too tired and the whole person is thin.
All right...... It's mainly Lao Bai who is complaining.
Among the traversers who have not been sealed, he is almost the only one who has enough fat on his body to lose two and a half laps in just twenty days.
This weight loss rate, if it is replaced by pandas and others, is probably already skinny, and may even need to be sent to rescue. But on his body, he only made his muscles vaguely see a little shape, his stomach barely protruded, and he was at least as far away from the legendary eight-pack abs or mermaid line, at least as far as from Chang'an City to Lingshan Pure Land, and it would take Tang Seng to walk for fourteen years.
"There's a question that I don't understand. "Passing by the Thracian palace once, I saw Lao Bai, who had lost a few laps, writing and drawing, and the panda leaned over in wonder and said, "When we are resurrected, our physical state will be refreshed, right?"
"yes. ”
"Then why doesn't Fat and Skinny refresh?"
Lao Bai was stunned, his face dazed.
"Could it be...... The refreshment of our physical state is actually determined by our own 'cognition'. Because we know that we are fat, when we resurrect and refresh the state, we are also fat. And if we are injured or something, we know that we are not injured under normal conditions, so we can refresh the injury directly?"
Panda posted this question to the group chat with great interest, and everyone discussed it enthusiastically, but in the end nothing came to a conclusion.
In the end, it was the librarian who ended the discussion. He said that there is a special book on "Resurrection and Refresh State Research" in the library, which was summarized by the family squatting faction last year. It's just that after summing it up, the book was shelved, and no one read it again. If anyone is interested, they can read this book and talk to them in detail after the biologist Mahala and the scarlet mage Ilundian have been rescued from the seal.
Compared with these meaningless discussions, and the lack of urgency to deal with the sealing issue, the most urgent thing in front of the traversers is the wedding of Liu Daoqing and Katarina.
In other words, the enthronement ceremony of Her Majesty Caterina Elantz, Queen of the Kingdom of Elantz, whose wedding to Her Majesty Prince Liu Qing Dao Elantz will be completed at the same time as the enthronement ceremony.
Lyching Dow Erantz...... Who came up with this name?" After hearing the news, Panda couldn't help but complain, "You must have joined the Erantz family in the fish pot, I can understand this, but why do you put the word 'Dao' in the middle of your name?"
"Tao is my identity. Liu Daoqing explained, "When I first established the character, I was actually called 'Liu Qing'. Later, I became a Taoist priest, and at the entrance ceremony, I officially got the word 'Dao' - Liu Daoqing, strictly speaking, my 'Dao name'. My common name is Liu Qing. ”
Apparently having studied this, he continued: "Adding words to the name to symbolize Taoist identity is one of the characteristics of Taoism. Especially in the Heavenly Master Dao of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, this situation was very common. This practice is called 'Taoist name', and there are many famous people in history, and they are all known to us as Taoist names, such as Wang Xizhi, Zhang Daoling, and Xie Lingyun...... The 'zhi', 'dao', and 'spirit' in their names are actually the names of the Tao, symbolizing the Taoism they each believe in. ”
The panda was a little surprised and asked: "Then your 'Liu Daoqing' is similar to Zhang Tianshi's 'Zhang Daoling', but you are from Taiping Dao, and he is from Tianshi, which is different." ”
"After all, the game is a game, in fact, we don't pay attention to this in the Taiping Dao, you see that starting from the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao, is there anyone in the Yellow Turban Army who pays attention to this? But later generations of Taoists have to enter the Tao number, so they use the 'Tao name' and 'Tao number' to distinguish whether they keep the precepts and accept the ordination, and officially become a monk, the entire Tao number is taken by the master, and it has nothing to do with their original name; ”
"What about the monk?" asked the panda.
"Buddhism is different from us, whether they are monks or not, they have changed their names and surnames. For example, after Chen Jiangliu became a monk, he was called 'Xuanzang', and even if he was a lay disciple, he was only a 'so-and-so layman', which had nothing to do with his original name. ”
Only then did the panda understand, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Then when you and Caterina have a child, will he inherit your 'Dao' character?"
This time, after a long while, Liu Daoqing replied: "Actually...... I plan to build the Taiping Dao in the Western Continent as well, and when the time comes, I will add the word 'Dao' to the names of the introductory disciples who have completed the formal formalities. ”
"Let's say...... Richard Dw Thrace?" Panda asked.
Liu Daoqing laughed: "That's right, that's it!"
