Chapter 4: Before Dawn (Part II)
After driving for six or seven miles, the noise around me has decreased a lot, and the whole car seems to be completely off the ground and has entered a floating state.
Lu Yi sighed with emotion: "Although I have seen it once, every time I see this big array, I still feel that the person who laid this formation is so powerful. ”
"Formation?" Yuan Xuan twitched the tip of his nose and said, "There is no smell of spells in this. ”
"Maybe it's not the kind of formation of the Taoist priest, it's just something like that. Lu Yi also studied this large array that separated the world of humans and monsters during this time, and found that this thing was indeed different from the formation that he understood with charms, and said: "I'm just curious, who laid this thing four hundred years ago. ”
"Four hundred years ago?" Yuan Han heard Lu Yi's words and asked curiously, "Who told you?"
"Isn't it?" Lin Xia told me. Lu Yi recalled the scene of taking the bus with Lin Xia that day, and said: "She said that it appeared during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and it seems to have been recorded in the notes of the heavenly masters of the past dynasties." ”
"Celestial Master's Note, is that thing reliable?" Yuan Han touched his chin and said, "What I saw at the eldest sister is different, this thing has existed since ancient times." ”
"Since ancient times?"
"Yes, if this barrier only appeared four hundred years ago, then what about before that?Did humans and monsters live together?" Yuan Han said angrily: "With such a huge population base of monsters, when they live with humans, do you think who has the ability to gather all the monsters together, and then lay down this barrier, so that humans and monsters can form two worlds?"
"It doesn't seem likely to hear you say that. Lu Yi thought about it and said, "But Lin Xia said that the notes of the Heavenly Master were all written down by the Heavenly Masters of the past dynasties, and they are all very reliable. ”
"My sister's information is the most reliable document in the world. ”
“......”
"Boy, you're probably not talking about a thing. Just as the two were arguing, the driver's uncle, who was driving in a muffled voice, spoke: "This barrier between humans and the monster world has indeed existed since ancient times, but four hundred years ago, someone did cast great magical powers, so that the connection between the two worlds was greatly restricted, and it became what it is today." ”
"Great supernatural powers?" Lu Yi asked, "Senior, you have been restricted, what do you mean exactly?"
The driver's uncle held the steering wheel with one hand and a cigarette in the other hand and said: "Specifically, before that, Lao Tzu's car could drive anywhere in the human world, but now, there are only a few specific exits." ”
"Wait, Uncle Driver, I have two questions. Lu Yi raised his hand and stopped: "What does it mean to be able to drive anywhere in the human world? Secondly, it was four hundred years ago, and there was not even a steam engine at that time, don't tell me that you drove this bus at that time." ”
"Boy, if you use your knowledge of high school physics to understand the relationship between humans and the monster world, you will never be able to figure it out in your life. Uncle Driver smoked a cigarette and said: "Although I don't know how to explain it with the so-called science, but you can think of the monster world as a ball, and then think of the human world as a bigger ball, the big ball of the human world wraps the small ball of the monster world in it, I am now starting from the monster world to the human world through this channel, as long as I keep driving upwards, then no matter how crooked I drive, I will definitely be able to reach the human world, and I can drive anywhere in the human world.
"As for the current situation, someone has filled the two balls with cardboard, and there are only a few passages left to use, so they can only open to a fixed place, and they can't choose the exit at will, and the exit on your side is one of them. ”
Uncle Driver's words came down for a long time, and Lu Yi seemed to understand it, but he understood the general meaning, and what was recorded in the Heavenly Master's notes should be the incident that blocked the passage, not the establishment of this barrier.
But what is the human world, this ball of play wraps around the small ball of the monster world? Could it be that this monster world is underground?
"What about the bus?" asked Lu Yi.
"Bus?" the driver's uncle smiled, showing a mouth full of yellow teeth, and said, "Lao Tzu used a carriage back then." ”
......
......
After more than ten miles, he began to see the light.
The bus drove out of the cave and stopped at a familiar place for Lu Yi.
The familiar Fenghu, Lao Tzu is back. Lu Yi stepped out of the car, took a deep breath, the late autumn air was inhaled into his lungs, cool and dry, and he wanted to shout, but the sound of the engine and the billowing smoke and dust came from behind him.
As soon as the driver waited for the three to get out of the car, he turned around and drove the car back to the cave, splashing dust, choking Lu Yilian sneezed, looked back at the cave, but the shadow of the bus was gone.
"It's finally here. Lu Yi picked up the big bag, took Lu Qing and said, "There is no road down the mountain here, be careful when you walk." ”
Lu Yi said, glanced back at the cave again, and a strange emotion appeared in his heart, why did he have this feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds and mist? Is the other side of this cave really a world?
Or is it a prison, a cage?
......
......
Although he only walked through it once four months ago, Lu Yi's memory in this regard is still very outstanding, and he is familiar with the road all the way down the mountain, and Yuan Xuan, Yuan Han and Lu Qing, who are monsters, are obviously much better than Lin Xia's physical strength, so the group's actions are very fast, and they went down the mountain in ten minutes.
The four of them walked to the street, Lu Yi wore a windbreaker, carried a big bag, and the image of a wooden sword hanging next to the bag was very conspicuous, but he also felt that it didn't matter, he had experienced this kind of gaze many times, and he would not lower his head and blush and speed up his pace as before to avoid the eyes of these passers-by.
Lu Yi's conspicuous outfit naturally attracted the attention of many people, such as the fortune teller on the side of the road.
"Little classmate, do you want to tell fortunes, you are not allowed to ask for money. ”
Lu Yi turned his head to look, and saw a man wearing a small round hat, wearing a shabby coat, wearing sunglasses, dressed like a living Kong Yiji, squatting on the side of the road, and a yellow cloth was spread on the ground, on which were various ancient symbols, which looked so profound.
The fortune teller was stunned, and he casually asked the person who passed in front of him, at this time he generally ignored himself, maybe he had to be looked down upon, but he didn't expect this young man with a big bag to really stop, and immediately came to the spirit and said: "Little classmate, look at the fortune telling, Tong Su is not bullied, you are not allowed to ask for money! One life, two luck, three feng shui, four accumulation of merit, five reading, six ......."
"Okay, okay, don't six, seven, eight. Lu Yi listened to the fortune teller shake his head and memorized the old-fashioned lines, and said: "You have this kung fu to change your clothes, you can't attract guests with your lip service." ”
Yuan Han saw that Lu Yi stopped chatting with a fortune teller, and said impatiently: "You kid still engage in these feudal superstitions?
The fortune teller was not happy to hear this, so he shook his head again and said: "This little classmate is wrong in what he says, what is superstition......?
"I'm going to leave if you're so weird. Lu Yi interrupted.
When the fortune teller heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly said: "That's it, that's it, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, don't be impatient?"
"Wait, I'll be in for a moment. Lu Yi ignored the puzzled gazes of the three people, and said to the fortune teller: "What's the price?"
The fortune teller said jokingly: "It depends on you, little classmate, what you ask for." ”
"It's marriage. ”
"There are eight pieces, and there are ten pieces. ”
"Let's have an eight-piece one. ”
"Little classmate, ten yuan is good, ten yuan is accurate. ”
"Isn't it forbidden to ask for money?"
"Uh......" The fortune teller was speechless, pinched his fingers and counted the words in his mouth, and after a while, he pretended to be surprised: "Oops!"
"Don't smack, say it quickly, and leave quickly. Yuan Han couldn't stand this grinding anymore and shouted.
The fortune teller pointed at Yuan Han and said: "This little classmate, your destined person is not here, if you want to get a beautiful woman, you should restrain your mind, calm your mind, and be sincere, so that you can have a chance." ”
Yuan Han was stunned and said, "How do you know?"
The fortune teller is talking nonsense, which little boy will yell at a fortune teller in front of his girlfriend, and when he hears people say that his face is black, he obviously can't ask for it, what is the use of this calculation, and he said: "Don't say it, don't say it." ”
"Why did I let you count me as him?" Lu Yi said: "This hexagram is not money just now." ”
When the fortune teller heard this, he hurriedly said, "Eh, little classmate, why are you unreasonable?"
"No, no, I'm gone. ”
"Eh, little classmate, stay, I'll count it, this will count. When he saw Lu Qing standing behind him with a hint of hope on his face, the fortune teller smiled and said: "It's over! Little classmate, your marriage is here!"
"Damn, is it really fake?" Before Lu Yi could speak, Yuan Han squatted down beside him first, and he was a little convinced when he looked like that.
Lu Yi didn't know about this fortune-telling trick, but he didn't break it, and said: "Okay, then it's business, if you can calculate it, I'll give you twenty yuan." ”
"Little classmate, this is true!" The fortune teller became excited when he heard the money and said, "You can open your mouth and know everything." ”
"I'm going to talk to someone recently...... It's business. Lu Yi said: "I want you to calculate the bad luck." ”
"This ......" The fortune teller felt that this matter was a bit big when he heard it, and it was not easy to fool around.
"Don't you count?" Lu Yi pretended to walk again: "I won't give money even if I don't count the hexagram just now." ”
"You little classmate, how can you be ......" The fortune teller thought about what he had just said, sighed and said, "That's it, that's it." ”
The fortune teller took out a yellowed book from his arms, took out two copper plates and handed them to Lu Yidao: "Little classmate, throw it away, and then tell me your birthday." ”
Lu Yi told him his birthday, and then threw the two companions on the yellow cloth on the ground, the fortune teller changed his serious expression this time, while looking at the copper plate, while flipping through the book, looking for a long time, the fortune teller suddenly turned pale: "This ...... This ......"
"What's wrong?"
"Why is this page of mine missing?!" the fortune teller flipped through the book and found that there was no trace of the contents of one of the pages full of words.
Lu Yi was suspicious: "You're not cheating me, are you?"
"Little classmate, it's really a child!" The fortune teller put the page of the book in front of Lu Yi and said: "This book was passed on to me by my master, and I have turned it countless times, and there has never been a blank word." ”
"And how do you explain that?"
"It's... Ay...... That's it. The fortune teller picked up the copper plate and said, "Maybe I don't have enough Taoism, and I still ......."
"Huh?!" said this, the fortune teller's eyes almost popped out, because the page that was still blank just now, the words on it actually appeared again.
"What's wrong?"
"Again, again!"
"Then let's see what the results are. ”
"Yes, yes!" The fortune teller was so excited that his face was ruddy, and he quickly looked at it, and then he was stunned again, and said, "I...... Forget the hexagram just now. ”
Lu Yi stood up, because he had been squatting for too long, his legs were a little numb and he almost didn't stand up, but he was helped by Lu Qing so that he didn't fall on his heels.
After standing still, Lu Yi took out thirty yuan and put it on the yellow cloth in front of the fortune teller, he can calculate this step, he can be regarded as having some ability, but now the fortune teller who loves money like fate didn't look at the money, just held the yellowed book, and kept saying "weird".
"It seems that ......" Lu Yi took a deep breath and said, "The person who is eyeing me is really awesome." ”
