(2-in-1 update, one chapter is yesterday's update, one chapter is today's update, and there are two more today!)

After coming out of the secret passage behind the waterfall, Jing Xing took Cheng Mo back to the front of the "Shaoji Palace" to sit for a while, enjoying the singing of several clone stars, and then went to Lutai facing the sea to watch the dance of the clone star for a while, and in the middle of the night a bonfire was lit in the center of the terrace, and the dance party opened in the lukewarm midnight sea breeze.

The small stage in the middle was removed, so the whole Lutai was turned into a stage, but this scene seemed a little strange to Cheng Mo, exquisite and chic dishes from various countries were served like flowing water, men and women in various styles of clothing hugged each other and danced veneer, the band played ambiguous music, and the starlight in the sky and the boundless waves made the atmosphere seem dreamlike and unreal.

Jing Xing, who was sitting side by side with Cheng Mo, said: "Why don't you go to find a favorite female star to dance? If you miss this opportunity, you won't know that you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey next time!"

Cheng Mo's gaze circled on the faces of the smiling clones, some of their expressions and movements were very formulaic, and some of them were enthusiastic and enjoyable, but no matter who they were, there were obvious traces of being trained, like soulless dolls. Cheng Mo didn't have much pity in his heart, and he didn't want to have any stories with these "produced" clones, he shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in cloning. ”

Jing Xing shrugged his shoulders to express regret, and then asked with doubts: "Master Lin, I don't understand what you like now? Isn't a man's ultimate dream to 'wake up to the power of the world and get drunk and lie on the knees of a beauty'? I see that Master Lin doesn't seem to care about either! Could it be that Master Lin has a higher ideal?"

Cheng Mo said lightly: "What I want is freedom, when I want to do something, no one dares to stop me, and when I don't want to do anything, no one dares to say irresponsible things to me.....

Jing Xing first paused for a moment, then laughed, raised the crystal wine glass and said to Cheng Mo: "Respect for freedom!"

Cheng Mo raised his glass and touched Jing Xing lightly, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Jing Xing leaned over and put the empty cup on the marble coffee table in front of the sofa, and talked to Cheng Mo about some anecdotes about Lutai, and after a while, he said that the opportunity was rare, he was going to the dance party to have fun, and anyone who entered Lutai many times could get a right, which was decided according to the length of stay in Lutai, and he could not waste this opportunity.

Cheng Mo didn't ask Jing Xing what rights he obtained, and Jing Xing didn't say, but after he walked into the crowded dance floor, he didn't know where to pull the clone of the now popular actress Di Lieba, pressed her on the sofa and told her to drink with Cheng Mo.

Di Lieba said "good", very skillfully took a goblet from the marble coffee table, consciously poured himself half a glass of wine, and then saluted Cheng Mo, her movements are very skillful, but the demeanor of drinking is not natural, it is obvious that she has learned etiquette, but the number of times she drinks is not too much.

Cheng Mo was not curious about the life of the clones, and he knew that he couldn't show curiosity, not to mention that he could imagine that they had been living in this small cliff palace since they were born, and they had no contact with the outside world.

At first, the two of them didn't know what to say, but Di Lieba kept saying "General, I respect you", and Cheng Mo did not refuse the other party's toast, and the two of them drank quickly one by one.

After three rounds of drinking, Di Lieba, who was not strong enough to drink, was a little drunk and began to speak, although her body was already very mature, but her mental age and IQ were still about ten years old, and she was very naïve and ignorant.

"By the way, after drinking so much wine, I haven't asked the general yet, what's your name?" Di Lieba, who was wearing the same red gauze as Feng Jiu in "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", asked Cheng Mo with big flickering eyes.

"Lin Zhinuo. Cheng Mo replied.

Di Ali Gerba stretched out his hand to Cheng Mo, "My name is Di Ali Gerba." ”

"Yes! I know. Cheng Mo pinched Di Lieba's fingertips and shook them lightly twice.

"How did the general know that my name is Di Lieba?" asked Di Lieba, her voice still milky.

Cheng Mo was silent for a moment and said, "I guess." ”

"Huh, how did the general guess?"

"I can tell fortunes....."

"What is fortune telling?"

"Fortune telling is the calculation of a person's fate. ”

"And what is fate?"

Cheng meditated for a while and said, "The so-called fate..... It's probably the trajectory of a person or a thing, the past, the present, and the future....."

Di Lieba put his hands on his knees, supported his chin, shook his head, and said, "The general speaks so incomprehensibly, just like Dr. Charlie who occasionally gives us a lesson. ”

Cheng Mo didn't speak, just turned his head and looked at Di Lieba seriously, in many cases, as long as people pretend to listen, they don't need to speak, and the other party will naturally continue to speak by themselves.

Sure enough, Di Ali Gerba noticed Cheng Mo's silver face and clear eyes under the candlelight, Di Ali Gerba blinked those big and long eyes, showed an innocent smile and said: "Doctor Charlie is a good man, but he always wears a mask like a bird's beak, we thought it was a seagull, but he told us that it was a crow, a black very intelligent bird.... But we have only seen a white bird called a seagull, and we have never seen any bird that is black..... Have you ever seen a crow? It's one of those very dark and scary birds?"

"I've seen it, and although it's not good-looking, they're the smartest birds. ”

"Crows aren't good-looking, no wonder Dr. Charlie says you masked people like to wear masks because they're ugly......"

Cheng Mo nodded, "What Dr. Charlie said is right, you have to believe what he says." ”

Di Lieba turned his head to look at Cheng Mo, the two of them were sitting side by side on the couch very close, a red lantern hanging from a golden curved metal pole swayed beside Cheng Mo's side, and the red candle flame cast a burning glow on his well-defined cheeks.

Di Lieba smiled with a hint of shyness and said, "But why do I think you should be good-looking?"

"Good looks are not all there is to a person, but also a good soul. ”

"Soul?" Di Lieba touched the position of his heart, suddenly leaned his head over, and said in Cheng Mo's ear: "The soul is good-looking, do you want to look good here?" No wonder some sisters say that you masked people like to touch your breasts the most.... Do you want to touch me and see if my soul looks good?"

After speaking, Di Lieba grabbed Cheng Mo's right hand and pulled it up, but Cheng Mo gently broke free, and said lightly: "The soul is good-looking, not the chest, but the soul." ”

Di Lieba's movements were a little stiff, she looked at Cheng Mo and said suspiciously: "Isn't this the heart?" Then she said with some trepidation: "How do I feel that you are unhappy, what do you like?" Our task is to be happy with you, you are only a general now, and at present, except for not being able to sleep with you, everything else can be ..... What do you want to do?"

Cheng Mo sighed in his heart, picked up the cup and said, "Just talk, drink the bar!"

"You're not upset, are you?"

"Nope. ”

Di Lieba laughed, touched the cup with Cheng Mo, and asked, "So what do we say?"

"Tell me what you do!"

"During the day, I go to class, learn languages, dance, sing, play musical instruments, and sleep when I don't go to work at night, or chat with other sisters, play chess, and play cards. ”

"What are you all going to talk about?"

Di Lieba looked left and right, turned his head and whispered in Cheng Mo's ear: "What we talked about the most was what it was like outside Lutai, Teacher Tiffany wouldn't tell us anything except for class, and Dr. Charlie told us that there were man-eating monsters outside, as well as flying iron birds, iron boxes scurrying around, and canvases that could act..... But Sister Jiaxin said that although there are many monsters outside, there are also many people, who are people like you who wear masks..... You're from outside, you should know about these strange things, right?"

Cheng Mo nodded.

"Is there really a flying iron bird and a running iron box outside, is the outside world very big, and how big is that?" asked Di Lieba like a cannon.

"The flying iron bird is called an airplane, the running iron box is called a car, the world is very big and very small. Cheng Mo said.

Di Lieba grabbed Cheng Mo's hand and shook it twice, like a child looking for an adult to ask for candy, her eyes flashed with curiosity, and she said excitedly: "Can you tell me? Actually, I really want to go outside to have a look, but Dr. Charlie said that we are different from you, we don't have masks, and we will die if we walk out of Lutai..."

"There's nothing interesting outside, most of the places are the same as you can see now, it's an endless sea, and there's nothing to say about it.....

Cheng Mo slowly depicted a boring, deceitful and terrible world with Di Ali Gerba, and he told Di Ali Gerba that there were painful diseases, desperate hunger, endless struggles, and terrible wars.

Di Lieba asked Cheng Mo all kinds of questions like a curious baby, and sighed after learning that the world outside Lutai was so scary: "It's so happy to live in Lutai." ”

Cheng Mo also echoed: "Yes! It's a happy thing to live in Lutai. ”

The two of them drank and chatted until the sea was white, the dark blue sky gradually faded, and before the sun rose, an ethereal mist floated on the edge of the cliff, swirling and rolling on the edge of the deer platform outside the protruding cliff, like a light sea of clouds.

The flags and those silks floating in the air were wet, and they hung down weakly, blowing through people's bodies to make people feel cold, as if cold rain was coming, and the bonfire in the middle of the deer platform was blown by the wind and hunting, and many people began to leave, some walked in the direction of the palace, and some walked towards the exit of the deer platform.

Cheng Mo saw Jing Xing coming over with drunkenness, empty eyes, and strong spirits, and waved to Cheng Mo: "Let's go!"

Cheng Mo nodded, stood up from the wooden couch, and Di Lieba beside him also stood up, the cold wind blew the hair on her forehead and the corners of her scarlet skirt, Cheng Mo turned his head and said, "Goodbye, I have to go!"

"Don't you see the sunrise and walking, the sunrise in Lutai is beautiful!" Di Lieba said drunkenly while pulling Cheng Mo's sleeve.

"Don't look at it, I don't like the sunrise. Cheng Moyan said insincerely.

"You're a weirdo, you don't like such a beautiful sunrise. ”

"Well, we masked people are weirdos. Cheng Mo said.

"Then will you come to Lutai tomorrow?" Di Lieba asked with his eyes wide and wet.

"Probably not. ”

Di Lieba was a little disappointed, his mouth flattened, and his body tilted towards Cheng Mo's arms, "I finally met a masked man who can chat!

"I don't know. His tone didn't have much emotion, and after a slight pause, Cheng Mo said, "I have to go." ”

Di Lieba reluctantly let go of the hand that was holding Cheng Mo's sleeve and waved his hand to Cheng Mo, "That.... Goodbye, Lin Zhinuo, I will remember your name. ”

"Goodbye. Cheng Mo didn't call her name, he didn't know what to call her, and he didn't linger, he turned around and walked quickly towards Jing Xing, who had already walked down the deer platform.

Di Lieba shouted loudly at Cheng Mo's back: "Remember to look for me next time you come to Lutai." ”

Di Lieba's voice seemed to tremble in the humid sea breeze, Cheng Mo didn't look back, just waved his hand, this ordinary dialogue was no different from his several visits to the little swan, and those young ladies were always looking forward to his coming again.

But at this moment, Cheng Mo's heart was filled with inexplicable and incredible sadness, and he couldn't understand how these two ordinary farewells could contain elements that made him sad.....

It's like when he stands on an island where no one is there, and he sees a ship passing in front of him, and he shouts, he waves his flag, and he lights a bonfire, but the other party is indifferent and disappears without leaving a trace.

———————————————————————

Cheng Mo changed his clothes in the courtyard of the gatehouse at the entrance, he didn't know if he had passed the customs here in Jingxing, if he passed, he would probably see Jingquan today, and then tomorrow he would leave Penglai Mountain with Shen Mengjie and Cheng Xiao, if he didn't pass the customs, then either Penglai Mountain was bad, or Shen Mengjie and Cheng Xiao were bad, as for him, it stands to reason that he should be able to leave at any time....

Cheng Mo controlled his urge to see and touch his ring finger, put on a clown mask and walked out of the changing room, the maid in thin silk clothes half-squatted to see him and Jing Xing leave, and walked out of the red palace door, Cheng Mo glanced back, the door closed slowly, and the golden knocker was held in the mouth of the golden skull, shining in the faint morning light.

Jing Xing rubbed his cheeks, yawned and said, "Let's go! ”

Jing Xing stepped forward and walked onto the plank road, and said vaguely: "It's a pity that I don't have the qualifications to stay, if I have to stay qualifications, I will sleep here....."

Cheng Mo followed, pretending to be interested and said, "How can I be qualified to stay overnight?"

"Spend money to buy, or complete the tasks decreed by the emperor..... In fact, the tasks issued by the emperor are the tasks issued by our organization, and some of them are paid by Lutai members to be issued by the organization on their behalf...."Jing Xing said.

"By the way, didn't someone mention a Doctor Charlie at the beginning? The clone was also mentioned just now, is it your brother?" Cheng Mo said pretending not to care.

Jing Xing glanced back at Cheng Mo, "You don't have to care about this." ”

"Just ask, it's hard to say. Cheng Mo said lightly.

Then the two stopped talking, walked quickly across the plank road, and then turned into the road through the corner of the mountain, out of the not too long road, to the mouth of the cave hidden in the primeval jungle, at this time the sky was bright, the mist was filled between the mountains and forests, stretching and fluffy, clustering along the stream to the low place, the quiet bird song in a leisurely green turn.

In the midst of these silent sounds, Cheng Mo faintly heard a slight breathing sound, and this deliberately suppressed breathing sound definitely did not come from the well in front of him, but on the other side of the stream, behind the dense ferns.....

Cheng Mo is sure that he is not the people of the Jing brothers, they don't need to use such a primitive way to monitor themselves, and there are more monitors and bugs in Penglai Wonderland.

So, who will be the one hiding in the shadows?
