However, it is a matter for Zhou Xinyi to understand the content of the book, and now, he is wholeheartedly looking forward to the feature of Night Street - splitting wood.

That's right, it's chopping wood, but unlike ordinary chopping wood, the wood to be chopped in the night street is the dead branches that fall from the psychic wood.

The Psychic Wood drops dead branches every six months, and the number of them that fall at one time varies, even if they are dead, they are as thick as a cow's thighs, the outer ring is as hard as a rock, and the inner core is as strong as steel.

If you want to cut this dead branch, it is impossible to rely on human brute force alone, and the meaning of this activity is not to compete for strength, but to compete for wisdom.

"Sir, you must not have seen the treasures of our Jizhou City, the most magical places in the entire Night Street have gathered around this Lingzhi Wood."

The blacksmith owner said, "Would you like to try that game of cutting dead branches?" If you successfully cut down the dead wood, you will be rewarded with 5,000 quinlangs, but you should be careful, if you fail, you may be in trouble. ”

"Everyone wears masks, who cares?"

The boss smiled, "That's why people are willing to participate." ”

So, the probability of getting out of the mess is high?

"I'm more concerned about another issue," Zhou Xinyi said, "Since the Spirit Wisdom Wood is so important, how can the City Lord rest assured that the owner of the Night Street will keep it." ”

"It's not so much that Lingzhimu belongs to Jizhou City, it's better to say that Lingzhimu is temporarily living in Jizhou City, and they are neighbors with each other," the boss said, "Lingzhimu has a better relationship with the owner of Night Street, and of course, only the owner of Night Street can get close." ”

"What the hell is that Reichi Wood?" Zhou Xinyi asked.

Being able to coexist peacefully with Jizhou City, which has many strong people, in addition to the occult resources required by the Lingzhi Wood to produce Jizhou City, there must also be something special.

"Lingzhimu is a creature that is infinitely close to the gods," said the boss, "I heard that in ancient times, when Jizhou City was not yet built, a group of drifters came to camp at the foot of Lingzhimu. ”

"But at night, acid rain suddenly fell in the sky, and the drifters thought it was ordinary rain, and they didn't hide at the foot of the Lingzhi Tree."

But the next morning, seeing that the surrounding hills had been eroded to the ground by acid rain, the drifters realized the power of acid rain, and only then did they realize that the Lingzhi Wood had stretched its tough branches to shield the Lingzhi Wood from the rain last night, and the people survived. ”

"People know that Lingzhimu is a kind creature with wisdom, and later they built a city there, and Lingzhimu also shrank underground to recuperate, and the ancestors also swore that Jizhou City would never take the initiative to harm Lingzhimu, and the walls of Jizhou City are the walls of Lingzhimu, and the people of Jizhou City live and die with Lingzhimu."

Zhou Xinyi suddenly realized the relationship between the two sides, and at the same time, more questions also surfaced.

Knowing that acid rain is going to fall here, and building a city here? Isn't this looking for death?

But the acid rain didn't seem to fall again, and the people of Jizhou City were not afraid of the rain, and they didn't look like they were living in a natural disaster.

During the chat, Zhou Xinyi saw a person who came to the stage to split wood take off his pants in a dashing manner, raised his pants above his head and ran.

Zhou Xinyi was dumbfounded, "That's the so-called embarrassment?" ”

"Haha, that's pretty normal, at least he didn't take off his underwear."

"Although the owner of the night street is casual and free, he has rules in some aspects, even if it is the price of not cutting the dead branches, the owner of the night street will not allow anyone to run naked in his own territory."

"I was still thinking of participating," Zhou Xinyi said, "and I will definitely not go on stage now...... By the way, what kind of person is the owner of Night Street? ”

In order to track down the robbery of the fake Liple's body, Zhou Xinyi mainly wanted to find the traces of the owner of the night street.

He's not here to show off his faces.

"You're very resolute, you're entering the night street for the first time, right?" In the crowd next to Zhou Xinyi, a tightly wrapped woman turned her head when she heard this, and said with a smile, "No, listening to your conversation just now, it's your first time coming to Night Street, right?" ”

She was wearing a black sheep mask, revealing the lower half of her face, and her red lips smiled lightly, "Since you have come from afar, how can you not experience the liveliness of the night street?" ”

“…… No, I don't have the confidence to pass the test. Zhou Xinyi replied to the enthusiastic lady solemnly, for fear that she would drag herself up as soon as she was happy.

"It's just a piece of wood, isn't that simple?" She made a motion of swinging the axe, "Hold the axe, use the strength of the milk, and chop it down, it's easy." ”

As she spoke, she walked onto the stage with a smile on her face.

Seeing that the conversation between the two was over, the owner of the blacksmith shop also answered Zhou Xinyi's question, "The owner of the night street is a beautiful and mysterious woman, she is not a native of Jizhou City, she has a free and easy personality, and she does whatever she wants......

"Wait, the owner of the night street is a woman?"

Zhou Xinyi looked at the woman who walked on stage, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

As soon as the woman took the stage, she was stopped by the order-keeping men, but when she lifted her hat to reveal her long, silky bright pink hair, everyone became respectful to her.

"The most striking feature of the owner of the night street is that he has dyed his bright pink hair, which is very novel to Ji Zhoucheng, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a maverick...... "The blacksmith shop owner finally saw the woman on the stage," ...... the groove. ”

"Law...... Mr! This is the Night Street Master! ”

"I see." Zhou Xinyi thought with a cold face, there is no worse news than this.

"I just heard the two of you conspiring loudly against me, and from the temperament, you must be a distinguished guest from afar."

Who knew that the famous night street owner would stand in the most inconspicuous crowd to watch the play? And all wearing masks, can you still recognize my temperament? Well, temperament is something that doesn't really need to look at the face sometimes.

The owner of the night street smiled evilly and said, "Since you are a distinguished guest, how can the night street not be well entertained?" It's a fun event that has to involve you, okay, don't shirk it, and ask me out for a conversation later, right? ”

Threat, this is a naked threat!

Zhou Xinyi roared in his heart, but he quietly walked on stage and picked up the axe handed over by the woman.

The owner of the night street was still watching the excitement and said, "Let's get on it decisively, the victory or defeat is in an instant!" ”

Zhou Xinyi looked at the straight oval wood on the ground, well, I hope that the mess will not be too bad.

Fight!

He lifted the wood high, used all his strength, and slashed down!

The moment the special axe struck the dead wood, the originally noisy environment suddenly became audible.

Zhou Xin looked around in surprise, the environment he was in had changed, from the night street rubbing shoulders to a lonely land!

Not far in front of him was a small bush that seemed to be a new sprout, and tender green branches sprouted from it.

Zhou Xinyi was a little dazed, he would get here after splitting a dead branch? What is the so-called test?

Could it be that he is already in trouble, and the content of his troubles is to do some funny things without knowing where he is?

Zhou Xinyi didn't dare to act rashly, and suddenly, three different selves appeared in front of him.

There were three phantoms, one was him in the military academy, dressed in a military uniform, mature and steady, although he was a little tired from hard training, but his eyes were still resolute...... Strange, was he so mature at that time?

One was the one he had seen in his notes, as described in those words, a man who was skinny, with bloody tears in his eyes, and a face full of hatred and malice.

The last one is him who has entered society, tall and tall, but there is exhaustion and numbness in his expression that cannot be hidden, as if a belief that does not belong to him drives his body.

The three apparitions looked at him together, and suddenly, a voice that could not distinguish between men and women asked in his ear:

"When I met you, I saw three beings."

"You in my eyes, yourself in your eyes, and you who you really are."

"Please tell me, which one is the real you?"

Which one is ...... The real me?

Zhou Xinyi heard this question and subconsciously looked at his third self.

Running around for his sister's medical expenses, he feels numb and hopeless from time to time, which is indeed the closest to him now.

But after he became the successor, he had a feeling of seeing the clouds, which made his state become refreshing, so that the third image was not so consistent.

But the first one is not like that.

Don't......

Zhou Xinyi shook his head, even if he was embarrassed because of the wrong answer, he didn't want the image of that evil ghost to be related to his true self.

He was about to raise his hand to choose a third self, when suddenly, he saw a sleeve that was completely unhis.

My clothes have changed, but what about my appearance?

He suddenly realized what his real self was like, wouldn't he understand it at a glance?

He touched his face and began to desperately want to see what he looked like.

He needs a mirror.

By the way, he remembered that he had obtained a bronze mirror, and miraculously found that even though his judge's hammer and musket were not with him now, the mirror had not disappeared because he had come to this space, and was still lying honestly in his pocket.

He took out a bronze mirror and looked it at his face.

When people abandon subjective judgment and examine themselves objectively, they are often able to get a glimpse of one of the corners of their true self.

The small bronze mirror reflected only half of his face, and in this space, he was unmasked, pale and emaciated, with blood and tears flowing from his eyes.

Zhou Xinyi was shocked by his appearance, although he was very resistant, but since the bronze mirror showed the answer in front of him, he had to choose.

"I choose the second being, which is my true self."

The male-female voice in his ear was silent.

It hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking:

“…… That's right, but it's not right either. ”

The words settled, and the scenery in front of Zhou Xinyi's eyes changed again, and he returned to the lively night street.

And the axe he carried in his hand was cut impartially on the dead branches, and the dead branches were split in half.

It's just that Zhou Xinyi was cut horizontally, and the dead branches were actually split vertically.

Whenever two people meet, there are actually six of them, and that is who each sees himself, each sees himself in the eyes of the other, and each of them is his true self. —Lawrence Peter
