The white space was silent, a green road snaked its way in front of me, and the pocket-sized old man and the marmot brigade around me had become as tall as me.

"You're... Youkai, right?" I tentatively asked my grandfather, who was no longer small.

"Of course. He glanced at me and lifted his thick beard that reached the top of his feet, and he was no different from the members of the groundhog brigade behind him, "Most of the time travelers are groundhogs, these little ones are my disciples, and you will call me Grandpa Beard like them in the future." ”

"What's going on on on this little road?" I asked, looking at the deserted white space around me.

"There was no such road here before," said Grandpa Beard, "and the gap in time is an existence older than life, long and quiet hidden in every corner of the world, like an archive recording what happens at every moment." Our ancestors inadvertently opened a tunnel between the time gap and the natural world while digging their lair, and the first time travelers were born. ”

As powerful as it sounded, I crouched down and touched the green path, soft and wet.

"It's ...... Moss?" I asked.

"Yes," said Grandpa Beard, "it is a moss that grows in the crevices of time, and the ancestors found that this moss was particularly fond of the taste of wine, so they poured it on the road where it was necessary to build it, and gradually formed the road in front of you, and until now, it is still the responsibility of the time traveler to use wine to preserve the few roads." ”

After finishing speaking, Grandpa Hu Zi naturally stretched out his hand, "You won't finish drinking the wine that Lu Shu gave you." ”

"Not really," I said, "I don't usually drink." ”

"Ordinary people can't enter the road of the future," said Grandpa Beard, "and the way in and out of the road must be guided by a time traveler, and in addition, the accompanying people need to water the moss with wine every time they come here, just like an admission ticket." ”

I took out the little wine jar that Lushu gave me, unplugged it, and poured it directly on the moss?"

"Of course not!" shouted Grandpa Beard, snatching my wine jug and plugging it on, "please don't use your human low-level thinking to understand what I'm saying!"

After returning the jug to me, it also took out a white porcelain jar from its bag, which looked very delicate, "I'll show you, look at it." ”

It took a serious sip of wine.

"Do you see?"

“... Didn't you want to give it to moss? Why did you drink it yourself? ”

"If you sprinkle it directly on the moss, the concentrated aroma of the wine will lead to all the moss that forms the road for a few days, and the road will be interrupted, so you need to drink the wine into your body, and the wine will gradually emanate from your body as you move forward, and then it will be absorbed by the moss to form an even path," said Grandpa Beard, "You must slowly learn to talk to everything here, and watering the moss is only the first step." ”

I took a sip as it said, and the wine that Lushu gave me was a little sweet and very good to eat.

"This wine doesn't taste the same. I said to myself.

"Because it's made with yeast from the gap in time," said Grandpa Beard, "there's a lot of interesting stuff here, but whoever has been here for a short time will try to do it again." It looked at the winding green road ahead, "Let's go, young man, this is just an entrance, I'll show you the world of time." ”

"Grandpa Beard, I... There are a lot of questions that I don't understand. ”

"Look more, ask less. ”

“... Well, well..."

However, I followed them on the green moss for a long time, and the scenery around me did not change at all, and the white space seemed extremely indifferent, and there was no temperature at all.

It's been too long, it's really been too long, when will I be a leader if I go on like this? What if I can't hold on before I find the answer?

"Time is very slow," seemed to sense my anxiety, and Grandpa Beard said slowly, "A day in time is only a matter of one minute in reality." It turned its head and patted me, "You've officially entered the colorful world of time in front of you, you have to keep up, don't run around." ”

Sure enough, the endless road under your feet was divided into several forks, which were not on the same plane, and were distributed in white space, pointing in different directions.

"These paths will take you to different places," said Grandpa Beard, "the library, the archives, the exhibition halls, and the Void, once you enter the Void, you can't get out again, and a skilled time traveler can easily discern which paths to take and which ones can't." ”

"The Void is also a space?"

"It can't be understood in this way, it is more like a place of origin of life, where all objects will become the most primitive state, similar to a kind of energy, the void absorbs life, and recreates life, which is a cyclical balance. Grandpa Beard said, "But this is just everyone's speculation about the Void, there have been countless time travelers in history who have disappeared into the Void and have been devoured along with their souls." ”

I think of the flowers of life that have completely disappeared in the plains of Lushu.

"Where do you want to go first?" asked Grandpa Beard, "There are answers you want along every road, like there are countless in the library..."

"I want to find the ingredients on the recipes first," I said, "and Tee told me that only in the gaps in time can I find the ingredients on the recipes." ”

"Oh?" said Beard, "Then this recipe must have been written by some time traveler, in that case," Grandpa Beard thought for a moment, and pointed to the nearest road to us, "Let's start with this path!"

As soon as my feet stepped onto the path chosen by the marmots, I saw a myriad of colors spreading from my feet to the entire white space, with mountains stretching, streams murmuring, and flowers flourishing and colorful.

From a monotonous white color to such a gorgeous scene, the brain and eyes feel an incomparably strong impact.

"There may be a brief headache, but it will recover soon," Grandpa Beard said beside me, "This is a museum that will make countless people want to linger, and all the materials you need can be found here." ”

After a few minutes, my eyes had readjusted to the place.

"This is Zhu Yucao," Grandpa Beard picked up a green grass and put it in his mouth to chew, "If you eat a little when you are hungry, you will not feel hungry soon." ”

I also followed the example of pulling one and putting it in my mouth, and the feeling of satiety hit me instantly.

"Wow, really," I said with some surprise, "eh, where are my hands dyed red?"

"I guess you've met Zhu Yan," said Grandpa Huzi, "There will always be a lot of Zhu Yan mines near Zhuyu, and in addition to exotic flowers and plants, there are also many unique stones in this museum, each of which has a special effect." ”

"What can this Zhu Yan do?" I asked, wiping my hands.

"Grinding it into powder and adding water turns it into a fine paint," said Grandpa Beard, "and the paint makes a door that leads to any place you want to go." ”
