Chapter 22: The Experience (I)
The next day, Dening got up early in the morning, and replayed the moves he learned yesterday in front of the old man with great interest, the old man was still not very satisfied, and gently tapped Dening's head a few times, and said earnestly: "If you can't meet the minimum requirements of my assessment within three days, then I won't be too lazy to teach you, how can you have such a stupid grandson, say it and lose my face." Don't tell anyone that I taught you. ”
De Ning shrugged his little head, listlessly touched the beaten head and replied: "Grandpa, I obviously tried very hard to memorize the moves you taught me yesterday, and the trick 'Fu Hand', I dreamed last night and was still practicing, but I just don't know why, I can't remember it today." ”
When the old man heard this, he asked tentatively, "Little rabbit, how many moves do you remember now?"
"Ahh......h Hey, I just can't remember it, but it's so familiar, so familiar! Grandpa, I seem to have forgotten everything. ”
"It's miserable now, I'll hit it again to find out how it feels, it should be like this? It's not right, what's the problem?......" Dening pondered while scratching his ears and cheeks, and tried to repeat the "ambush" move several times in front of the old man again.
But for some reason, the more Dening wanted to remember trying to repeat yesterday's move practice, the more he felt a confusion in his head, as if there was a mysterious existence restricting his move ideas.
The old man, who was watching De Ning fall into deep contemplation, nodded with satisfaction, and he asked again without moving: "Have you really forgotten all about the trick of 'lying down' today?"
Dening lowered his head and nodded weakly, "Well, grandpa, I'm really useless, I can't remember such simple moves, and I can't learn them." ”
"Haha, good, good. Dening, if you can't remember, it's the best thing to learn, you know, the moves I taught you yesterday are not some kind of stalls!"
"What, what the hell is Grandpa? I didn't learn the tricks you taught me, and you still praise me?" Dening looked up, looking at the old man with a strange temper in his eyes.
"Didn't you say it, you want to become a powerful practitioner, and secretly tell you that yesterday's move was a unique skill left over from a great powerhouse, and you have just started to cultivate, and it is very normal that you can't remember it, which means that your human brain domain is still in the process of self-evolution practice, because that move is too beyond the scope of understanding and cognition that you can bear now, and it is normal to not be able to remember. Although I've simplified it a lot, I can't explain it completely myself, this is 'can only be understood but not spoken', anyway, you will know, what you learn will be engraved in your blood and bones forever, maybe one day in the future, you really reach that level, and you will naturally understand what I am saying now. The old man said earnestly to Dening.
"Also, don't tell anyone about the moves I taught you, when you can really grow and cultivate and comprehend the 'Fu Hand' move, you will instinctively remember this move. Now you can't think of it anymore, this is the most magical and secret place of this trick 'ambush', everyone only has a rare opportunity to learn and understand, even if you learn again in the future, you can't find the first feeling and cognition. Besides, the situation that each person cultivates in the future will be different, and it will vary from person to person. Now seeing you like this, it seems that your learning ability is very good. ”
Dening, who was still depressed on the side, heard the old man's persuasion and said happily: "I just know that I am not so stupid, haha, grandpa, is this move really as powerful as you say?
"Stinky boy, you are content, when you reach that level, you will naturally understand the mysteries of heaven and earth in this move, besides, don't think that I just taught you a few tricks, in fact, this is the real 'no tricks to win', you are too small and weak now, when you understand, you will understand." The old man continued to teach earnestly.
Immediately, he looked at De Ning, who was still lying by his side with a bright light in his eyes, and pretended to be angry and scolded: "Stinky boy, why don't you go to the old king's side to help? ”
Dening secretly smiled and looked at the old man pretending to be angry, in fact, in the conversation of those nomads yesterday, Dening knew that this was an important task for the old man to exercise his current body, how could he really let go of such a good opportunity to exercise and grow.
"Grandpa, I'm going to help Grandpa Wang catch the sand ridge crabs, and I will definitely catch the sand ridge crab roe king you said at night!" De Ning waved his arm vigorously at the old man's back, and then he ran quickly to the container where the sand crabs were stocked that he had agreed with the old king yesterday.
In the distance, a few thick clouds fluttered slowly in the gray air. For people of this era, it can only be a fantasy to see the scenery of the blue sky and white clouds that once was. Nowadays, the changes in the entire earth's ecological circle have rarely been so good.
Dening gently sniffed the dry and bitter smell of the sand at his feet, and there was a faint fishy smell in it, which belonged to the unique smell of the sand crabs that were stocked here.
"Stinky boy, you're pretty early. Not far away, the old king, who was leisurely sitting on the back of the titanium chair at the door of the stocking container, greeted Dening, who was getting closer and closer.
"My grandfather asked me to come over early to help, and by the way, he also let me catch two sand ridge crab roe kings tonight. Grandpa Wang, can you help me. Dening obediently leaned over and told the old king about his grandfather's "special explanation" when he went out.
"What! Crab Roe King! Two more? No way, no way! Stinky boy, you ask your grandfather to give the old man five bottles of sand wine in exchange, and I will give it to you! No, let him take ten bottles in exchange, and I won't give it to you!" After listening to Dening's words, the old king, who was still happy, complained uneasily and loudly like a cat that had been stepped on by his tail.
"Grandpa Wang, I didn't hear anything, I just came to learn how to catch sand crabs from your old man today, my grandfather said that he could let me exercise, I don't know anything else." Dening changed the subject as if he was happy.
"Hmph, stinky boy, your grandfather must know the rules of my old king's side, the sand crabs I have stocked in the past three days need to be carefully selected and caught, if you are lucky enough, you can catch an alien like the sand crab king, my old man will also admit it!" said to De Ning unmoved.
"Last night, your grandfather brought me five bottles of sand wine for the old man, and this is also the tuition fee you paid for entering my stockyard. Whether you can learn or not depends on your own ability. ”
"My grandfather has already brought you the wine! Grandpa is really ...... Those sand wines are my grandfather's treasures. It seems that I must catch the crab roe king today and go back to make snacks for my grandfather!" Dening said angrily to the old king with a smug look next to him.
"Then let me, old man, see how capable you are, come and come in with me, by the way, there are some things that are not allowed to be touched, and I have to explain to you. The old king returned to his original cheerful appearance, and he walked intently in front of Dening, guiding Dening into his own unique breeding circle for free-range sand crabs.
In fact, the so-called container of sand crab stocking is just the abbreviation of this large-scale stocking method, because most of the sand crabs need a unique way of life, so many nomads use "simulation" of such a way of life, with pieces of rectangular specifications and styles of ecological places to achieve the most ideal stocking needs.
Although the appearance of the entire container looks like an ordinary board house, about the scale of a hundred zhang in length and width, in fact, when Dening stepped through the energy defense shield door for the first time, he was still shocked by the scenery in front of him.
In the transparent protective cover closest to the left hand side of Dening, the king of the crab roe with a foot is more than a foot big and stays there quietly, beside the king of the crab roe, a large number of small sand crabs gather around its crab shell, and a large piece of black pressure shows the vigorous and strong breeding ability of the crab roe king.
What's even more amazing is that this sand ridge crab roe king, who should have a violent personality, actually hibernates quietly in his territory, and he doesn't care at all about the little sand ridge crab crawling back and forth around him to feed.
In the isolation protective shield in several other places, the normal phenomenon of sunrise and sunset is being simulated at this time, accelerating the growth and development of the sand crabs inside at the level of intelligence and artificiality, and a large number of sand crabs are spending their short lives in a daze.
This is also the most common farming method adopted by the vast majority of nomadic herders.
"How about it, when your grandfather came in, he was also amazed at my family's ancestral sand crab roe king. Haha, this treasure was caught by my grandfather when he was in the prime of life, and now it is almost complete! At the beginning, a big boss of the Yunfeng Chamber of Commerce came up with 1 earth coin to buy, and I couldn't help but be reluctant to sell it! At that time, my legs were trembling when I heard 1 earth coin, and I thought that I was trembling and walked out of the negotiation table at that time. ”
"Ah, 1 Earth Coin, so expensive!" Dening couldn't help but admire when he heard such a novelty.
"Yes, some people can't see a so-called earth coin in their lives, hey, it's a pity, anyway, the old man, I don't worry about eating or drinking now, I don't regret it! This crab roe king is my baby, hehe, have you seen it, in this entire Shaling Ridge Domain, there are a large number of sand crabs, in fact, they are the descendants of my crab roe king, thinking about it makes the old man excited!"
"Ahh
"Grandpa Wang, how come I don't feel that this crab roe king has not changed much? Why?" Dening looked at the crab roe king in front of him, and suddenly asked curiously again.
The old king, who was still excitedly telling the story of this crab roe king, heard Dening's inquiry, he couldn't help pausing for a while, and finally reluctantly said again: "You can see it, hey, this is also our helplessness." ”
"Actually, when we caught it, it had already reached the level of a pseudo-third-level fierce beast, and in order to tame its wildness, we tried many methods, but in the end we failed. Later, seeing that its lifespan was about to end, my family spent a lot of money and exerted great efforts to finally raise it into the current third-level fierce beast. However, its ferocity has also reached the point of hurting people, no way, we invited another Gao Ming, in its current brain nerve center, artificially installed a miniature artificial intelligence processor to control its every move, in fact, relatively speaking, everything in this huge crab roe king is now in the operation of this artificial intelligence processor, it has lived a life of drunken dreams. ”
"Well, I don't know if it's for its own good, or if it's really our own selfishness as nomads. Hey......"
The old king sighed deeply, and his loving eyes looked at the Sand Ridge Crab Roe King in the protective shield in front of him gently, as if he was looking at the juniors in his own family.
Then, the old king's face showed a rare look of regret, and he continued: "I have watched it live since I was a child, and I have long regarded it as a part of life, but now it has become this empty shell, hey, I don't know if what we have done is worth it." ”
Dening listened to the old king tell about the half-life experience of this crab roe king, and couldn't help but sympathize, maybe fate will be like this, the so-called "the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty", which is probably the case.
It's a pity that often many times the fate can't even be planned and controlled by yourself. How sad and unforgiving.
And like this king of sand ridge crab roe, being artificially manipulated to live is even more sad and pitiful.
The old king was silent for a while, and then he suddenly regained his strength, and he said to De Ning, who was still in a state of curiosity next to him, "Don't mention those sesame, the old man is a layman who has raised crabs and eaten crabs all his life, oh, by the way, look over there, do you see, that's where we're going to catch sand crabs these days." ”
Dening looked in the direction pointed by the old king, and saw that in the specially treated and reinforced energy mask in front of him, the dry yellow sand all over the ground was flying wantonly under the manipulation of the man-made air current, and a little farther away was the long yellow sand all over it.
Looking at it again, there is a feeling of yellow sand in the real nature.
Dening couldn't help but ask curiously, "Grandpa Wang, how does this feel like a small sandstorm?"
"You're half right, this is the harsh environment that we have simulated artificially based on the living habits of the sand crabs, do you know why there is such a big wind and sand?"
"Perhaps...... Is it because it allows them to grow and develop better?" Dening casually guessed.
"Forget it, in fact, we found that the sand crabs, the harsh the wind and sand environment, the faster and stronger their ability to grow, and such a harsh environment can also make them have a strong enough body, otherwise how do you think you eat those delicious sand crabs every day?" The old king explained patiently beside him.
Dening nodded earnestly, and the wind and sand world in front of him became clearer and clearer.
"Come on, stinky boy, your grandfather said to let you come to my side to help catch crabs, it's time for you to exercise more. The old king's tone was full of intriguing flavors.
Dening, who was still looking at the entire ecological environment next to him, heard Lao Wangtou's words, and his heart tightened inexplicably.
It seems that this opportunity to "exercise" is really not good.
Dening looked at the unmoved old king beside him pitifully, and could only grit his teeth and quickly rush into the protective energy light mask, and for a while, Dening's screams continued to come one after another.
The old king on the periphery of the energy mask nodded with satisfaction, and then he also stepped into this dusty sand.
The experience has begun.
