Chapter 6: The Rainbow That Never Falls, The Drum That Rings Forever (3)
Speaking of the back, Grant is already a little slurred.
"Okay, okay, I know, I'll go back early," Xiao Yifan gave Grant a big bear hug, and he gently patted Grant's back, like coaxing a child, "What are you crying about? In two years, you will be thirty years old, you see that you are now so much taller than me, and you are already a knight who can be on your own side by Olivia, but you can't easily shed tears." ”
"No, Gavin," Grant wiped tears from his face, "you must invite me to drink tonight until someone falls." ”
"Good...... I'll please, I'll please, I'll be sure to drink enough with you. Xiao Yifan said.
The moon hung high in the night sky, and at this time, it was already midnight, the night was darker, but the stars were brighter. Olivia looked at the two people in the distance who were hooked shoulders like more than ten years ago from between the curtains of the hotel, dancing with her forehand and gesturing something, the corners of her mouth involuntarily hooked up a beautiful arc, and then turned off the lamp at the head of the bed......
Both guys drank a lot of wine, Xiao Yifan felt slightly drunk, and as for Grant, he had already begun to go crazy with alcohol, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying. Although he stuttered clearly, Xiao Yifan could still catch a few words of "son of bit*ch" or "fu*ck" floating out of his mouth from time to time.
Grant is very self-disciplined on weekdays, but when I see Xiao Yifan today, I have the feeling of seeing my eldest brother or even my father who I haven't seen for many years, and Xiao Yifan has indeed been such a character that he has admired since he was a child.
"You're Gavin......" a drunken Grant muttered something......
Looking at Grant like this, Xiao Yifan felt a little emotional.
Living in the Celtic Protoss, they must have received a lot of hardships over the years, and being able to accompany Olivia on the trip has proved that he has relied on countless blood and sweat to get to where he is today.
Because Xiao Yifan himself has experienced endless tribulations on the road of the Knight of the Round Table, he can also understand that this little tail who used to follow his ass has now grown up and is already a noble knight who can withstand all tests.
"The guys who didn't make it to the show must be very good. Xiao Yifan looked at the crazy Grant and said to himself, Grant was the youngest among them, and when Xiao Yifan was the king of children, this guy was still wearing diapers.
Even if you drink in different places, it always ends the same, and those who are not drunk have to drag those who are drunk first home—those who are not drunk are the ones who suffer......
Due to being drunk, Grant was clean the next day, and Xiao Yifan accompanied Olivia to take a cruise on the Zambezi River. Olivia was so happy that she couldn't stop marveling, and she was even more excited by the wildlife on the riverbank.
Of course, at the end, you will watch the sunset on the beautiful Zambezi River, listen to the fishing boats singing at night, and enjoy the happiness that is inadvertently revealed in the peaceful life of the fishermen.
They sat back to back in the cruise ship, Olivia leaned on Xiao Yifan's back, and both of them were silent, not knowing what the other was thinking.
Every river that has nurtured life and civilization deserves to be gratefully remembered as the reverence for mothers, whose lives have been drawn from generation to generation, and the mothers on whom they depend for their survival. The Tonga people living on the banks of the Zambezi River revere Victoria Falls as a deity and slaughter black cattle every year to offer sacrifices to the river god, which is also an infinite tribute to nature and all things that give birth to their lives.
Xiao Yifan could feel the solemnity at the moment, and the scene in front of him seemed to be frozen. He sat quietly, without the slightest thought in his head, just completely emptying his body and brain into this warm world.
"Gavin," Olivia murmured softly.
"Huh?"
"I miss our life as a child, because of you, I feel like I had a childhood without regrets. Olivia said softly.
"Me too. Xiao Yifan lowered his head slightly, and no one saw his expression.
Time is as fleeting as the sunset at this moment, and like this cruise ship, no matter how beautiful the scenery along the way, the boat will eventually sail to the barren shore.
After getting off the boat, Xiao Yifan strode forward, Olivia seemed to realize something, and reached out to grab something, but her hand stopped in mid-air.
Looking at the back that was not tall but haunted her, Olivia smiled a little bitterly, what was the use of getting close, she would never be able to grasp it. And his closeness is only as close as his brother.
"Tomorrow, I will stay with you for another day, and you will go back to England the day after tomorrow. Xiao Yifan didn't look back, but his voice came very firmly.
"The drums under the waterfall ......"
"Don't care, I can represent the gods, but you can't represent the heavens. Xiao Yifan's voice was not loud, but people did not dare to refute his words, as if it was the will of the king.
Olivia bit her lip and bowed her head slightly, she knew that Xiao Yifan's words, whether it was the gods of the Heavenly Dynasty or the gods of the God Dynasty, not many people would refute them. No one can shake what he decides, and his stubbornness can be seen from the fact that he was hunted down by that "dictator" for thousands of miles to change the Mayan calendar three years ago.
"Say hello to Gareth and Bedwell for me and tell them I'll be back soon. Xiao Yifan turned his head and smiled gently.
"Hmm!"
......
On the day Olivia left, she was surprisingly calm, and even Xiao Yifan was surprised. If it had been before, she would have had to soak it for a while.
"Gavin, we'll be waiting for you in London, and don't forget that you promised me to sail around the Atlantic with a hundred barrels of rum......"
Seeing Grant, who waved vigorously at him, turn around and walk onto the plane, Xiao Yifan's mood was also much lighter. Harare is a modern city with a large flow of people, with a pleasant climate, beautiful scenery, and cool spring all year round.
Xiao Yifan didn't stay in this beautiful city for long, and he soon came to the edge of the Devil's Pool again.
The huge curtain of water at Victoria Falls cascades down as usual, splashing down on the hard basalt rocks and filling the sky with steaming mist, giving the view from the edge of the waterfall to look down at the sea of clouds from the top of a mountain.
Xiao Yifan stood there, neatly dressed, his white trench coat full of wind. Even though his massive currents almost reached his knees, not a single drop of water flowed from where he stood, and a powerful force field pressed the current out of the gap.
He still has a gentle and natural smile on his face, and sometimes he looks at the gorgeous rainbow bridge in the sky - when the sun rises, the rainbow hanging from the waterfall will never fall.
Xiao Yifan closed his eyes, like a statue, he had been standing there for more than four hours, the sun was gradually sliding westward, and the mist here could instantly wet a handkerchief, but there was not a trace of water on his body from beginning to end.
After nightfall, Xiao Yifan still stood quietly, as if waiting for something. When the bright moon hung high, a faint rainbow crossed the night sky, Xiao Yifan finally opened his eyes, but at this time, he had the stars in his left eye, and the sun and moon in his right eye!
At this moment, Xiao Yifan could clearly feel a tremor from the soul, and the roaring water was like a beating drum, and because of this, Xiao Yifan knew that the real drum sound had been covered. Only then could he clearly feel the rhythm of his heartbeat.
The eyes that had received the sin sacrifice were blessed by the sun, moon and stars, and the traces of God became clearer.
The sound of the drum is faint, as if it is directly sounding in the depths of the soul. The dark night was so heavy that it seemed to be dripping ink, but the drums became more and more grand, as if accompanied by a loud war song, playing the sound of shouting and killing that resounded through the sky!
"The golden drum of Africa has never appeared in any of the annals of the Protoss. Xiao Yifan thought to himself, "Since the Quaternary glaciation movement more than two million years ago, how many times have there been advanced intelligent civilizations on this planet?
Quaternary glacial movements left many more traces in the Northern Hemisphere than in the Southern Hemisphere. Zimbabwe, located in the south of Africa, is logically less affected by the Quaternary glacial movement, and if there was ever a high intelligent civilization, it should be preserved relatively intact, and it is impossible to leave only a beautiful legend.
Xiao Yifan is fully armed, his coat is a white windbreaker, but there are two sabers in the inner bag, two retro Anaconda revolvers on his waist, a pale gold hunting knife at his waist, and a seven-star Longyuan sword wrapped in white cloth.
Xiao Yifan's eyes glowed, and he leaned forward, as if he was about to fall into a deep valley.
Don't say it's important——
This is a kind of taboo of the gods, the most powerful power of the gods is related to the taboo, the forty-seventh chromosome of the gods is like a medium, and after the medium is called, all the "things" in the material world will be turned into weapons through various means, and these weapons are "taboos".
Taboo is a physical change in the different material world caused by the genes of the gods and other factors. That is, the vast majority of taboos, the way of use follows philosophical rules on a physical level.
"Taboo, unspeakable" is the same as the "Taboo, Gray Condensation" used by the mysterious black-robed man Xiao Yifan faced at the beginning, which belongs to the category of "taboo" in "taboo".
Needless to say, distort the force field so that the force acts from a straight line to a single arc smooth curve controlled by the controller, and the arc cannot be an arc without vertices.
As for the effect, it can make people walk on any cliff as if they were on the ground, provided that the angle of the walking surface should never be parallel to the horizontal, because no matter what kind of single arc a straight line becomes, it is impossible for the only vertex of the arc to be in the original straight line.
And if you let the force field arc produce two vertices and distort the force field twice, it will be beyond the limit of this taboo principle.
At this time, Xiao Yifan stepped down from the basalt on the edge of the waterfall, and used his feet as the force point to stick closely to the cliff wall, his body was already parallel to the ground, but he still steadily descended, looking for the source of the drum.
The silver waterfall splashed, and when the huge waves hit Xiao Yifan's body, it seemed to be cut by a sharp sword, and the water slid directly to both sides, and near him, the dust was not clean, and the water was not stained.
The mist obscured his vision, but he couldn't stop Xiao Yifan's pace, he could clearly feel that he was approaching the source of the sound, and at this time, an inexplicable palpitation swept through his body.
Going down the waterfall, walking seventy or eighty meters, you can already faintly see the shining starlight reflected in the deep pool at the bottom, but the mist covers most of the light, and the starlight at the bottom of the pool is sparse and faint.
The splash of water from the impact of the huge curtain of water is even more powerful, and the basalt that occasionally protrudes here is no longer as smooth as the edge of the Devil's Pool, but is beaten out of shape by the continuous lapping of the water.
The waterfall is a standard flat throwing track, the rugged rock wall is of different depths, some places the waterfall can slide over the rock, some places are sunken a lot, at this time standing on the rock wall, Xiao Yifan looked up and saw the waterfall hanging in the sky like a canopy.
After a few more meters of descent down, the rock belt here has changed, no longer the hard basalt above, but a network of fault zones, with cracks in the rock walls and wet minerals filling the gaps.
Xiao Yifan stretched out his hand to touch the rock wall, and found that the rock belt here is very chaotic, still based on hard basalt, but there are a lot of conglomerates mixed in, and the muddy water droplets are actually lime, and in some places, there are large patches of granite.
Because the night is too thick, the covered waterfall can't see a trace of starlight, even if Xiao Yifan's night vision ability is used to investigate this place, it is very difficult. A moment ago, the sound of the drums was becoming more and more obvious, but here, it became quiet, and only the rumbling sound of water could be heard.
"Broken rock formations?" Xiao Yifan thought to himself, "The appearance on this surface is a little abrupt, could it be man-made?"
As he spoke, Xiao Yifan continued to move downward, and after about seven or eight meters, it turned back into a hard basalt formation, and the drum sounded in his head again. By this time, he could already determine that there was something strange in that different rock formation, and the sound of drums might have something to do with it.
"It won't be behind the rocks, right?" Xiao Yifan's mouth twitched slightly, no matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for him to directly penetrate the mountain like a pangolin, and even if it was a pangolin, it would be impossible to penetrate the basalt layer.
found that there was a small foothold, Xiao Yifan no longer used to make "unspeakable weight", and restored the distorted force field.
patted the rock wall, the inside is a full rock mass, and the sound cannot penetrate, indicating that at least within a few meters, there are strict rocks, and after digging a few meters in such a rock formation, Xiao Yifan is not that confident. This ordinary hunting knife may not be able to cut an inch, but the Seven Star Dragon Yuan can cut it, and the consequence is that it will most likely become an ordinary kitchen knife.
Legend has it that Durindana was able to chop marble, well, even if it was true, but that was only to prove its sharpness, not to have someone use it specifically to chop marble. Let's not say that the Seven Star Dragon Yuan is not as good as that holy sword, even if it does, it will not be used like this......
Including Durindana, all these famous swords need to be endlessly tempered and polished, and then carefully maintained by future generations from generation to generation, their meaning is more of a kind of inheritance of the relics of the saints, you can use the relics of the saints hidden in them, and they can be passed on not only by how sharp they are, after all, so far, I have never heard of any metallurgical artifact of the Protoss that was destroyed for great geological excavations.
