Chapter 8 Short and long
"There will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant......"
I don't know how many times it was, but Daddy Shi recited this poem again, still intoxicated.
Although the words are not difficult, the young people have lofty aspirations, and the courage of not relying on the shadow of the ancestors is overflowing.
The rain and dark fragrance cleaned up, curled Tingting crossed, and the long hair on the sideburns lightly touched the cheeks, and there were thousands of styles.
"I'm still talking about it, how long has it been since dinner?"
"Over the years, I've always underestimated my son."
Shi Xi shook his head and shook his head, still unfinished.
"I never knew before, but I was so open-minded. I always treated him like a child, but the child grew up. ”
"Open fart, really open, and hurt his brother so much."
At first, I didn't realize it, but after the incident, I didn't know that this kid was deliberately holding back the bad, adding new hatred and old hatred.
"But this poem is still a little bit like that."
"You say yes, too."
"Since he's so promising, why don't you send him out quickly."
Shi Xi said dissatisfiedly: "You should also be tired of being better, always saying that I am partial, but in fact, I am all three." Which is like you. ”
Yu Dian Xiang raised his eyebrows: "Anyway, it's also half of my son, and of course it's a good thing for him to be ambitious." I'm just worried, next time if someone from the palace asks, how should I send it? ”
"Why do you mention this again?"
"This is the rule of all the lords and nobles of Yuzhou, could it be that I made it up on purpose? I'm tired of seventeen. ”
Yu Darkincense reminded.
"It is true that all men after the nobles, if they do not inherit the title or official status, they will be confiscated into the public service for three years from the age of sixteen. The four surnames are the representatives of the nobles, our family has been delayed again and again, and there will be another person in the palace next time, but how to explain? ”
Under the rule of Yuzhou, there are six counties and nine cities, and the unified palace is under the control of the palace, although there is no name of the country, but it is one of the largest forces in the north. The military strength is even more dominant in the northern region, and it can be a strong party that can compete for the world.
The nobles under the command of the Phoenix Lord have followed the tradition of 'the army comes out of my house' for generations. While enjoying the glory, we must also shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding our home and country.
"The Mandate of Heaven Division is the only one in the Four Princes who doesn't risk his life, you can think about it."
Shi Xi didn't think about it for a long time, his face was slightly gloomy, and he waved his hand in distraction.
"Hold on for a while. Not really...... Isn't there a big exam this year? ”
"The big exam? Do you want to make Ti'er an official? ”
The palace has set the rules for the noble generation to serve in the public service, but it does not necessarily have to be a military position. There are also people in the family who don't like cultivators, abandon the Xuan and follow the literature, get a civil service, and enter the court as an official, which is also a way.
Therefore, on November 11 every year, there is also a big test for the children of the nobles.
Yu Dianxiang frowned and said suspiciously: "Can you pass the exam?" It's not that you don't know how talented your eldest son is. ”
Shi Ti was born weak, so he was let go by Shi Xi since he was a child, and he never worked hard to practice martial arts and literature. The Shi family is a family scholar, but they have not taught him carefully.
Shi Xi said uncertainly: "Tired children love to read, I can guarantee this." I still pay him the silver taels he spends on books every year. ”
"I know that spending money is like running water, and I don't see where the books are. Maybe it's what to do. ”
"The business of the reader, where this book is placed is not to read. It's just that I haven't seen him write an article...... But if he can make such a poem today, maybe he is tired of poetry and books, but he is just obscure and clumsy, and he doesn't like to show off. ”
Clumsy?
He is stupid, and he still needs to be guarded?
Yu Darkincense shook her head and said.
"Even if you make sense, but you said that my four surnames are all Xuanzhi families, and I am a civil official, what does this look like."
Shi Xi is quite confident.
"Then it will be divided. As far as my family is concerned, my ancestors also worked as civil officials. Tomorrow I will probe the tone of Ti'er, and then I will know if he is planning to follow the text. ”
**************
The next day, Shi Ti asked the people in the family to catch a cat for him and put it in his room.
He wanted to do an experiment.
But the excuse is rather bad.
"I've been bored for a long time, find a cat to play with, oh, it's better to be a female cat in heat."
"Don't bother me, I'm going to get a full day's sleep today."
"Don't come into my hospital, don't come over if you hear anything, you know?"
At least he didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
However, when it was spread among the subordinates, it gradually became-
- Bad news, the young master of the Shi family has fallen in love with animals since then, and the above is a verb.
- Shock, moral degradation or confusion of human nature, what is the love of life and death between humans and cats?
- Shocking news, the future marquise of the Shi family is actually a cat.
Shi Ti, who didn't know that the outside had evolved into a shock department, closed the door and began to do his own experiments.
There is so much information to be mastered in that mysterious space. However, this information is difficult to be completely sure on its own.
He almost couldn't sleep at night.
Thankfully, today there is a new helper.
In front of him, there was a snow-white long-haired cat that didn't look very good, with long fluffy hair and a surprisingly soft degree, and its blue eyes could directly remind people of the endless sky.
Shi Ti greeted politely.
"Hello, I didn't mean to bother you, the main thing is that there are some things that can't be told to outsiders. I can't tell outsiders, so I have to tell outsiders. ”
"That's right, uh, what's the right thing for you? It seems a little hard to call without knowing the name. ”
"Well, let's just call you 'Red Rabbit'."
Because this cat has a faint red mark on its tail.
He held the red rabbit in his arms, and it was as soft as cotton, but as soon as he entered his arms, the cat's instinctive reaction was to run away.
This is exactly what the time is weary.
Hahahahaha......ha Ahem, be sensible.
Then comes the key.
"What I'm going to do next, you can watch carefully."
Shi Ti's lips touched lightly, and he recited those four words completely silently.
"The years are endless."
The strange light in front of him was dazzling, and he was once again in the space occupied by pitch black.
No matter how many times, I still feel that this place is filled with an inexplicable mystery.
He had tried many times last night, and it was generally smooth, and he even found out that the volume did not affect the results. Even if you don't make a sound, as long as you keep your lips and heart silent, you can still come back here.
But if you just say it casually, and you don't think about it in your heart, you won't come back.
He tried to add these four words to a random text and read them quickly, and when he read them out without his brain, nothing happened.
On the contrary, as long as you want to come back silently, even if you don't make a sound, you can do it.
This time, what he was going to try was the condition of his own body over there.
He had to discern whether when he entered this place, whether the body over there would disappear or if it was just the spirit that had entered the room.
Shi Ti thought of a lot of solutions, but he was never sure.
Although when he returned to the present world, his movements did not change at all, there was no guarantee that his original body had not disappeared.
This is a key that can be fatal.
If, when he enters, someone happens to witness him disappear into thin air, the fool knows that there is something wrong with him.
But without the help of a third party's observation, he could not confirm his physical condition. Because when he was here, he was completely at a standstill in this world.
So he came up with it, using the animal's reaction to confirm whether he had disappeared.
Female cats in heat are usually more irritable and sensitive, and their reactions are more observable.
"Okay, it's time."
"The years are endless."
Shi Ti returned to the present world, and the cat in his arms did not react in any special way, as usual.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This probably means that it is very likely that he has only entered the mysterious space with his spirit body, and his physical body is still there. If this is the case, then the likelihood of exposure is greatly reduced.
Of course, one experiment is not enough.
After that, he tried many more times, until he realized that the Red Rabbit had indeed not noticed that he had disappeared and left, and then he dared to draw conclusions.
Naturally, this is not the end of the story, though.
"Now, it's the second project."
He threw the red rabbit upwards.
Didn't pick up.
Silent for a few seconds.
The red rabbit is worthy of being a cat star, turning back in mid-air, successfully landing on all fours, and issuing a stern warning to Shi Tiao.
"Meow~~~"
"Well, that's good."
Shi Ti grabbed the cat again and threw it away.
The red rabbit cat is pale, and the screaming meow seems to say, 'This cub is serious'!!
Until the cat reached the highest point, he silently recited those four words.
Shi Ti entered the mysterious space again, and his mouth was still silent for a few seconds.
This time, the experiment is the time difference between the two sides.
He knew that the speed of time was different, but he didn't know how much it was.
He counted all the way to nine, and instead of 'ten', it was the four-word passphrase.
Back in the present world, the red rabbit is still in the air and has not yet fallen.
Firmly in his arms.
I thought that the time difference between the two sides was almost ten times, but it doesn't seem to be true.
The red rabbit turned around and showed his five claws in a threatening manner!
Shi Ti threw her straight up.
Twenty seconds this time!
……
……
Until this time, when he returned to the present world, the red rabbit landed firmly on the ground, looking back at him with great dissatisfaction.
But when he saw it, he cheered.
"Shrimp shrimp !!shrimp shrimp I see!! ”
Red Rabbit: "......"
She silently moved towards the door.
After repeated trials, Shi Ti finally tried to figure out that the difference between the two sides was about 60 times.
That is, one minute has passed in the mysterious space, but only one second has passed in the present world.
A real charge for one minute, gives you an hour!
But what can I do with this time...... I can't think of it now.
But just knowing this is fun enough.
When tired, look at the sky.
Well, it's still early today.
Why don't you go out and take a walk.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the figure of the red rabbit walking cautiously towards the door.
"Where to run."
Shi Ti took her into his arms.
The red rabbit lost its face again, and couldn't stop struggling, but felt that there was a warm palm rubbing on the cat's head, and couldn't help but make a comfortable sound.
"You're a great hero, and you're going to give you fish tonight. When I get back, got it? ”
Carried her back to the table and put it away, I don't know if I actually understood, or if I knew that Shi was tired of leaving, and it was safer to stay here, she didn't escape this time.
Shi Ti exclaimed: "It's really a good cat!" ”
Then he turned and walked out the door.
***********
Shi Ti has a scholar named 'Wushuang', who is a year younger than him, and is usually responsible for taking care of his daily life. But he himself didn't have anything to say, so the two of them never had anything to say.
When he was tired of going out, he told the Wushuang carriage to prepare his bags, and he said more than in the past few years combined. By the time they were about to go out, the two had already gotten to know each other a lot.
As he spoke, the carriage had reached the outer chamber.
Shi Ti couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out.
What I saw was the same buildings and streets as I remembered, and it was a vivid and diverse group of men, women, and children living here.
Although there are memories of it, this is the first time that Shi Ti has really come into contact with the outside world since he arrived in another world.
I always feel indescribably fresh.
But the eyes of the people on the road looking at him were even fresher than him. They all exchanged heads and ears, not knowing what they were talking about.
Shi Ti listened carefully, but heard four new words.
- Children of the Dark?
