Chapter 15 The Rime

They were indeed on patrol, and it was only during this patrol that they realized that they had missed such a person.

In the history of the Hanging Garden, it is said that there was an oolong, which was also a long omission, and they left the messenger from the fringe area in a closed room for half a week. The week of the hanging garden is longer than the week of the fire road, and this length is the amount of time it takes to objectively spin or rotate a week.

"And then?"

"Later, it seems that when the servants of the dynasty were about to sweep the ashes of the unused reception room, they found the messenger who was already dying......"

"You mean I'm lucky, right?"

The young man looked indifferently at the diplomat in front of him.

"Nothing to do! I'm just thinking that my story is probably going to become an interesting case for future generations, haha, I'm very ashamed of this, sorry. ”

The girl, who looked very young, was also a full-fledged basic officer of the Foreign Affairs Department. She sat on the other end of the table and smiled awkwardly. According to her education, the sexual attraction represented by her youth, vitality, gentle tone, and lovely face should guide a person, but it is difficult for her to guide the person in front of her.

This means that the work she negotiates will become difficult.

Because of her previous mistakes, she was given a vacation by her boss to chat with these lonely outsiders and have relationships. In a way, this may mean that in the eyes of the old man, her future stops there.

Her mind was complicated, and she still had a cute smile on her face.

She heard Gu Chuan say word by word in the unskilled Qiongqiu language:

"I don't think it's funny, and seriously, it's kind of cruel."

A brutal grass platform team.

She smiled, changed the subject, and began to talk about some stories from the past, as well as some linguistic allusions.

The young man was forced to stay on Twenty-Three Islands for a while.

During this time, his personal liberty was under the full supervision of the Department for Foreign Affairs. The guest house of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was inhabited by more than a hundred people, including a group of emissaries from the so-called "Savage Country" near the dynasty he did not know, and explorers like him who came here alone.

Explorers are easy to receive and the Department for Foreign Affairs is not very concerned. Their main forces are focused on the Savage Nation. In the past week, other savage countries have also sent large envoy groups with a large number of people.

These savage nations used to be related to the old dynasty to which the serpent belonged. These uncertain diplomatic relations now need to be reconsidered for the new kingdom that came to power.

Soon after the new regime came to power, new groups of people were learning how to govern the land, and despite all the prosperity, the chaos did not completely disappear.

The temperature is always low in the hanging garden high in the sky, and occasionally looking up at the sky illuminated by the lights from the skylight, it is as if you can see condensed ice crystals slowly falling.

"Actually, this wasn't the case with the original Hanging Garden." The female officer walked in front of Gu Chuan and said with a smile, "When I was a child, the hanging garden was still very dark, and it took a light to shine with a light and a little wax. But when I was growing up, people started hanging transistors everywhere, and the world suddenly lit up. ”

After passing the "quarantine", Gu Chuan was already able to move freely here. Not many people cared about this insignificant foreigner, not to mention that he didn't speak Qiongqiu, and it was difficult to communicate with anyone. And his appearance and dress are also destined to be found wherever he goes-

The gearman-style hazmat suit makes him appear clumsy, like a stupid and dull white bear.

He said:

"You miss that time?"

The female officer smiled and said:

"Yes, at that time, although only light could be used for radiance, intellectuals were always very respected, everyone was in harmony, and my elders had no worries about food and clothing."

As for her, she will never be treated unfairly because she has made a small mistake.

He didn't really understand the female officer's words. When the female officer speaks Qiongqiu, she will use many strange synonyms. For example, Hui Chang is a pronoun for a glowing stone in a hanging poem. The poem celebrates the selfless devotion of the Luminous Stone.

Gu Chuan asked:

"Excuse me, where can I learn more about Qiongqiu's language?"

The female officer paused:

"It's a bit of a hassle. I can only introduce you one or two, and you need to do some effort yourself. This may not be a ...... Something that is obtained without cost. ”

"I understand."

The female officer operated, and Gu Chuan was allowed to stand outside the diplomatic academy to listen, but could not enter the room. There are also some people who are treated the same as him, and most of these people are explorers like him and are not taken seriously.

Since the beginning of the old dynasty, the Department of Foreign Affairs has always had a special hall for foreign studies.

The envoy of the savage kingdom learned the Qiongqiu language, or the Hanging Garden dialect, in this one foreign teaching hall. This school is dedicated to teaching the culture of the Hanging Garden, in order to show the grandeur and greatness of the Heterosaurus Dynasty. It is said that many of the 'scripts' of the Savage Kingdom were changed and changed after learning the Qiongqiu script here.

The supreme head of the Outer Sect was an alien dragon in the old dynasty, and in this new country it is still nominally because the alien dragon surrendered early. On the other hand, it only retains its name and loses its real power, and it is on the twenty-three islands.

It was the target of the snake messenger mission, and the snake said to Gu Chuan:

"As long as you tell it about Bu Zi, it will help you."

"For example......"

At that time, Gu Chuan thought that Yilong might not be able to protect himself in the new society. But the serpent said,

"At least I can ask and tell you a clue or two about your ship."

At that time he asked:

"Are you sure it won't betray me?"

"You don't have to worry about that. It didn't dare to do it. The snake sneered, "Don't dare to offend the east, don't dare to offend the west, just dare to tremble in between, just a villain." ”

But contact with it was not as easy as the snake thought, Gu Chuan thought that this honorary dean would regularly attend the Foreign Teachers College, but in fact it was not.

He had never seen the shadow of an alien dragon. On the contrary, he learned the basic reading and writing principles of Qiongqiu language completely, and he improved by leaps and bounds in Qiongqiu language in a short period of time.

But this has no essential meaning for him. His purpose was to walk with his buddies.

The turnaround came quickly, but unexpectedly, and had nothing to do with all foreign affairs, but with high art.

During the Old Dynasty, many forms of song and dance were developed, and there was even a pointe dance that was very similar to ballet, with pointe on the ground as the main movement. According to the introduction of the female officer, she pointed to the ground with her toes, raised her neck, and her slender posture was to simulate the beautiful snake shape of the alien dragon. As for the spread wings and the other leg raised, they are meant to simulate the beautiful wings and tail of the allosaurus.

But the New Kingdom took a more general approach to it, likening it to a bird. In fact, culture cannot be touched lightly, which is not in accordance with the law of etiquette. ”

The female officer pulled up her hair and smiled helplessly.

Gu Chuan sensed that she was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to say it, so he only asked:

"I don't understand, what does this have to do with me? Can you tell me who's performing? ”

"It's a long story, and it's a feat of the National Assembly."

After getting acquainted with it, this female official is a bit of a teacher, and obviously uses outsiders as a chat garbage can.

With performing arts such as singing and dancing, it is logical that there will be performances, performances, appreciation, appreciation, performances, centralized places, and naturally theaters.

Originally, the theater only provided performances for alien dragons and human nobles, and the actors were limited to the children of human nobles.

However, when the National Assembly came to power, a new policy was introduced. They decided to popularize higher education to the Hanging Garden. The Hanging Garden is the center of Qiongqiu's political economy, and most people have mastered basic reading and writing, and there are targeted vocational education behaviors.

The so-called higher education is the education that female officials originally received.

Gu Chuan listened to the female officer who led the way on the road:

"It's a very complex comprehensive education, but in fact, it doesn't make sense for the average person. They don't need it in their lives, and they don't need it. I often hear children complain about too much content, but the National Assembly insists on it, and it is inconvenient to say it. ”

It includes advanced reading and writing, such as ancient literature appreciation, and essay writing, which is how to write a persuasive argumentative essay or an emotional narrative. There is arithmetic, and judging from Gu Chuan's eyes, their arithmetic may be at the level of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries of the earth, because his high school level is no longer very understanding. The female officer was most upset about this, she said:

"Learning beyond intelligence is only to increase the troubles and pressures of ordinary people, and I have heard many people complain to me that they can't understand teachers and books!"

Gu Chuan hummed absentmindedly twice, and made the female official think that he had a confidant.

Then there's sports and the arts.

There are six arts in the Zhou Dynasty of the earth, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, and the archery is interpreted as sports, and the hanging garden is almost these six educations.

Twenty-three Islands has a general national residential area and a general national school, where art is also taught in the subjects of the national school. There is only one large theater on the Twenty-Three Islands, and this time it was requisitioned by the National School to perform their juvenile talents.

The boss of the female official's boss, the old man who was inspecting, patted his head and said that he wanted to show the demeanor of the children in the hanging garden to the foreign guests and show the glory of the education policy of the National Assembly.

The old man's decision was transmitted to the National Assembly, which also took it seriously and sent two or three members of parliament to participate in the matter.

Visitors from outside the city are also invited to participate in theatre performances.

Of course, this is a good thing, so the few outsiders that Gu Chuan has already acquainted withβ€”who are similar to the Hides Man or Mr. Durian, may be travelers of the same clan, are quite excited.

At the back of the line, they began to talk about the performances they might see.

Gu Chuan himself didn't want to go, if he went, he would have to change into the dress of the hanging garden. But he thought about maintaining social connections, so he reluctantly went. The look of the young man who had changed his clothes and combed his hair surprised the female officer.

It's just that he didn't see any joy on his face, and he was full of depression, which made her suddenly feel a little distressed. She said:

"Aren't you happy?"

"No, it's not......," the young man said listlessly, pressing the corner of the crystal tube in his hair, "but I just remembered my hometown." ”

When the time came, the outlanders of the non-savage country were invited to sit in the far right corner of the first five rows. And at the beginning of the theater, if you really look at it, it is all children in Qiongqiu, and the oldest is only the age when Gu Chuan was just about to enter Sunset City many years ago. The smallest one on Earth may still be in elementary school. There are different heights, shorts, and ugliness, but the standing posture may be trained, on the stage, standing in three rows, and having spirit.

There was an orchestra for this performance.

The orchestra is not on the stage, but on the platforms on the left and right sides of the second floor, which can only be seen by those who sit in the middle. The quiet opening music came from upstairs, and the guests took their seats one by one.

When the crowd sat down, the main lights in the theater were turned off, leaving only the transistors on the stage to emit light, and somehow, there might be a fog-dissolving device, and a mysterious blue light fog surrounded the people, and a few people began to play the first big play.

This drama tells the legendary story of the only female archduke of the old dynasty. This archduchess, a supreme minister, was once the supreme ruler of the Hanging Garden under the dragon, and today is played by a girl about the age of a high school on Earth, and she began to speak the most obscure Qiongqiu language when she came to the stage.

For beginners in Qiongqiu, it sounds difficult, but it is very beautiful, like singing. This is the study of tone and rhythm, and the tone and frustration are all arranged.

The female official said that this is a not-so-classic scene of the legendary story, which is about the establishment of friendship between the female grand duke and the country of savages, and since then the war has been turned into a jade silk.

"But ......," she shook her head, and whispered, "that girl is too soft, and the Grand Duchess should be as soft as her, and that is to make friends, not to establish friendship." ”

Gu Chuan didn't know what kind of story the female archduke was, so he couldn't see it, so he asked casually:

"Why, you know very well."

The female officer straightened her chest and said in a pretended normal manner:

"I've acted in this play, and I have to ...... Well, the masses appreciated. ”

She wanted to say that the sky was very marquis, but she didn't dare to say it. This is the highest honor she has ever received as a broken family, and it has now become an obstacle for her.

In the middle of this play, there is also a banquet for the female grand duke, and there are a lot of dances here, including the ballet that female officials are familiar with. She is even more disdainful of the ballet danced by this civilian:

"Did you see that? Look at their feet. ”

Gu Chuan raised his eyes and saw a pair of fleshy feet, and he couldn't see any clues.

"What's wrong? It's beautiful? ”

"No, no, it's not. You haven't seen it before. The female officer's feet nodded, and she said, "I used to dance, I learned to dance, and that is to practice my feet, because the real 'orthodox' performance cannot wear shoes, and it must have the beauty of pure skin, but such a pointy toe does not rely on shoes, but the strength of your toes, which has to be practiced for a long time, even if it is with shoes, it is also with transparent crystal shoes, a kind of hard shoes." But after the popularization, the people above gathered the masters to ask for a change, because it was said that it would hurt the foot, so they had to use soft cloth shoes and change the movement. It's good that the beauty of the past is gone...... Since you want to change it, it's better not to teach. The millennium has only been reduced to the pile of old papers. ”

Gu Chuan felt that her complaints were a little too much.

He whispered:

"Doesn't it matter? There are so many people here. ”

He alluded to speaking while performing.

The other outsiders who were entertained were as afraid to speak as he was.

"You know a little bit of etiquette. But in fact, no one will take this kind of ordinary school-trained children dance. ”

The female officer hid her fingers, pointed to the front and back, and said:

"Do you think they're dancing?"

Sure enough, Gu Chuan looked back and forth, and most of the parliamentarians and envoys of the Savage Country were talking to each other, and their voices were whispering. Those who look seriously and those who don't look seriously are open.

The stage is still bright and bright, and Gu Chuan and the envoy of the Savage Country are the same, without the influence of Qiongqiu Hanging Garden culture, I can't feel the connotation, I just listen to the sound and watch the action. It didn't take long for him to think that his things were blocked everywhere, and he was upset, so he used the excuse of going to the toilet and going out of the theater to relax.

The female officer pointed him out. He bent over and cautiously walked across the stage. When he walked to the edge of the aisle, when he recognized the way, many people were looking up at him. Some female officials whispered about him.

Unbeknownst to him, he walked through the side door into a stone cloister, and lost his way.

A maid thoughtfully pointed him in the right direction, in a dialect.

He didn't dare to read the mind, so he didn't understand the maid's dialect, so he just walked in that direction in a daze, and ended up going backstage openly.

Backstage, the school's staff and officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs are busy, and many actors are lining up in a narrow stone alley.

The young man knew that he had taken the wrong path, and quickly turned around.

But just then, another person hurried out of a door. He did not close the door, so there was no barrier between the inside and outside of the door. The young man inadvertently looked sideways, but what was reflected in the drill was a ...... Ice blue tail.

Gu Chuan stopped, turned his head and entered the room. In that room, an allosaurus was perched, its entire body covered by wings with blue-blue feathers larger than its body.

It seemed to be asleep.

Gu Chuan was not in a hurry, so he stared at it quietly.

After a while, suddenly a small bell rang, and it raised its head, pinched the time, and blew countless blue dreamy foams into the pipe leading to the stage.

"Which team are you from? Why aren't you preparing for the show? ”

Then it turned to the man and asked. It's just that as soon as it finished speaking, it suddenly blinked, as if it wanted to look at the young man in front of it again, and its tangled expression seemed as if it had discovered something very strange:

"No, you're ...... What? ”

The temperature in this room was unexpectedly low, and the young man on the outside tightened his clothes, and said:

"I'm an explorer from Buzi, where I heard your name, and I was invited to see the show when I came to the Hanging Garden. I didn't expect to meet you unexpectedly...... I admire you very much, the Grand Duke of Long. ”

The dragon in front of him was scrutinizing him.

After a pause, he then asked in a heart-to-heart manner:

"I don't know if you're ...... Interested in Bu Zi's situation? ”
