1.1 Where is the cage

Early in the morning, the screeching sound of the drilling machine made Lu Xin jump out of bed.

"Why are you so noisy on weekends?" Lu Xin muttered ignorant of current affairs.

"Isn't our environment so bad? No, my mother is expecting you to study hard and take us to live in a high-end community in the future! But look at your grades—this time you have regressed again! If you continue like this, don't say that going to 985,211 college is no fun......" Lu Xin's mother heard her son's complaint and started to chatter again, and Lu Xin's sleepiness was suddenly expelled.

Lu Xin felt that he was going crazy, it had only been a day and a half since the results of the second-model exam in Xinhu District came out, and he had already been criticized several times by the head teacher, subject teachers, and parents. The score dropped, the ranking retreated, and he himself was distressed, but he couldn't make the mistake of reprimanding him again after less than six hours!

Fortunately, he is a good child, and in the face of his mother's endless complaints, he just defended: "Mom, I've worked hard, everyone is sprinting in the second semester of the third year of high school, and the teacher says that it's normal to have fluctuations——"

"What is normal? I think you are broken and broken! What do you mean? Admit defeat? Retreat? Grades drop are justified, isn't it?" When my mother heard his words, her voice opened up significantly.

"But I-" Lu Xin felt aggrieved, and hoped that someone could say a word for him at this time.

"Don't be, your mother is right, you still know that you are in your third year of high school? It's past seven o'clock, and you're still in bed, do you still have ambitions?"

Lu Xin was almost in despair.

He was like a wrapper, who was wrapped up by this couple to specialize in learning. He felt that he had worked very hard, and stayed up until one o'clock every night, except for a little more sleep on Sundays like today, and he got up before six o'clock on weekdays to memorize English. Lu Xin's grades are also good, although he is in the best high school in the city, he is basically in the top 30 in his grade, such a top student is still not enough in the eyes of his parents, because they feel that only the top ten in the grade can be stable in a prestigious school. Lu Xin's ears are full of parents' chatter all year round, especially after this big exam, he retreated to the top fifty, and the imperfect reprimands and complaints made him even more dizzy, if only he could temporarily escape from this suffocating life for a while, it would be good.

Mobile games should do. However, Lu Xin was caught by the head teacher on the spot when he was secretly playing in the classroom for the first time.

There was a reprimand in the office, and the head teacher, Mr. Liu, pointed at him like an explorer discovering a new land, "No wonder your grades have regressed so much, it turns out that you are hooked on mobile games at a critical moment, which is so disappointing to me!" The stern roar revealed the ecstasy of the discoverer.

Lu Xin was wronged in his heart, but he couldn't argue. He's really just playing for the first time.

After his parents learned about it, they were furious, Lu Xin really felt that he had "nothing to love in his life" this time, and this kind of life was too torturous. Alone in the study at night, he couldn't read a single word of any book, and his mind was full of thoughts about escaping.

How do you escape? Suicide, like the boy in the previous session, jumped from the window of the classroom on the tenth floor, and then, the big block is invisible, and since then?

Lu Xin shook his head, it was too cowardly to do that. I have worked hard for so long, I want to promote the blooming of life, how can I put out my own fire first?

Therefore, his escape is to rest for some time, harvest warmth, and go to a state independent of time and space, and completely release himself. He believes that there is a paradise in the world, where is it?

Lu Xin was tired and tired of doing questions, so he didn't hold it up, and fell asleep on the bookcase. The summer wind blew in through the screen window, carrying the fragrance of red roses. The fragrant and sweet taste made him want to add a mouthful, didn't he say that the rose flower had no fragrance? What kind of rose is this? Lu Xin thought about this question in a daze, feeling as if he was looking for the fragrant red rose. But I accidentally found a river coat in my dream, floating red for several miles, could it be that this is the legendary ten-mile peach blossom, is it the peach blossom source?

The pink petals are constantly fluttering down, dazzling like butterflies. When the wind blew, some of those petals were wading in the air, some were floating on the surface of the river with the wind, and some were chasing an untethered wooden boat on the river, and a layer of pink petals had fallen on the boat. Lu Xin was immersed in this poetic scenery and forgot to return.

"Young man, this is not a paradise, the old man advises you to go back and study hard, strive for 985, if not, the 211 school is not bad, if it is not good, go to an ordinary undergraduate, and it is not bad to pick a good major! ”

In a trance, an old man dressed in a fluttering green shirt rode down the clouds and said to Lu Xin.

Lu Xin was amazed, only to see that he was dressed in flowing clothes, white hair and long beard, the ancient old masters all knew that the current college entrance examination school is 985 and 211? Lu Xin estimated that this person must be a god-like existence, and hurriedly bowed, and said: "Thank you seniors for mentioning it, but I don't want to go back yet, I am too tired and bitter to live, and I want to have a good time." Dare to ask the seniors their names?"

The old man replied, "The old man is Ruan Zhouzi. Thou shalt not know me, lest thou be unheard. ”

Lu Xin really didn't remember when he searched the memory bank, but he always felt as if he had heard the name somewhere, was it a historical story told by the teacher, or a wild history and legend that he had read? I took out my mobile phone to check it, and found that I had run out of traffic this month. I had to stare at the old man, with a respectful and humble expression on his face, thinking that this time he probably met an immortal who helped him.

Ruan Zhouzi thought Lu Xin was interesting, so he asked, "Then which trip do you want to go?"

Somehow, on a whim, Lu Xin blurted out: "I heard that there is an ethereal fairyland on the sea, independent of time and space, can my predecessors guide me to take a trip?"

Ruan Zhouzi heard this and laughed: "Since it is a fairyland, how can it be independent of time and space, it's just that the concept of time and space is different." Well, since you can think of this, you kid is also interesting, and I'll send you to Fancage for a visit. ”

Fan cage?

What is that place?

"After being in the cage for a long time, I can return to nature. "Isn't it mentioned in Tao Yuanming's poem?

Without waiting for Lu Xin to think about it, Ruan Zhouzi had already lit a petal on the water surface nearby, and the petal turned into a boat, Lu Xin was amazed, boarded the boat, and in an instant it had sailed far away, and Ruan Zhouzi did not know where to go.

Lu Xin thought it was a dream, but he couldn't wake up.

"What time is it, why can't my son get up yet?" Lu Xin's mother didn't see Lu Xin come out after putting breakfast on the table, and knocked on Lu Xin's door anxiously.

"What's the matter, don't you want to go to college?" Lu Xin's father saw that the door was not open, and he was in a hurry to come over and knock together.

However, no matter how they knocked, there was no answer.

The couple was anxious, and the father said, "Is this child sleeping like a pig? It's Monday, and I'm going to be late for school!"

"Hurry up and find the key to open the door!"

The door opened, and to the couple's shock, the room was empty, and a copy of "Ancient Chinese History" was open on the table, with color-printed pages, and the poet Tao Yuanming of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was in high spirits.

At 7:02 a.m., Mr. Liu, the head teacher of the third (17th) class of Xinrui Middle School, received a call from the parents of the students, Lu Xin, who ran away from home, wearing a gray-blue T-shirt, ripped jeans and white sneakers, and did not bring his schoolbag, only taking away the mobile phone that was almost confiscated.

At 3:36 p.m., Mr. Liu received Lu Xin's parents in the office, and Lu Xin's mother was already crying. Community monitoring, street monitoring, school monitoring and even station monitoring were all called out, but there was no trace of Lu Xin.

"It's all because I'm usually too verbose and too demanding of my child, he must be too stressed, so he ...... But where can I find it now?" said Lu Xin's mother as she wiped her tears.

Lu Xin's father smoked a cigarette and said nothing, taking a puff, the smoke rose and rose to the "No Smoking" sign in the office.

After Lu Xin was fluttering and swaying on the petal boat for a long time, the water in front of him gradually became vast and endless. The stream of the mountain stream is connected to the vast sea. There are gulls and herons flying on the sea, Lu Xin feels very happy, but he doesn't know where he is going, and he has some expectations and some confusion in his heart.

After a short time, the petal boat naturally leaned against a piece of land as if it had spiritual power, Lu Xin was surprised, could this be Fan Cage? Just now, I only saw the vast sea, and I didn't see any islands at all, when did such a large piece of land appear? After landing on the shore, Lu Xin found a wooden plaque, on which the handwriting in the script showed a simple taste: Qianyan Island.

It seems that this is not the place, but what is the "Fan Cage" that Ruan Zhouzi said? Could it be that the petal boat ran by mistake?

Before he had time to enjoy the surrounding scenery, Lu Xin was suddenly surrounded by several people, Lu Xin was dumbfounded, these people were dressed in brown, all holding swords, it was purely a desperate plot in a martial arts movie! Lu Xin regretted not thinking at the beginning: I wanted to visit here, but I didn't expect to have an adventure, and maybe I would lose my life. Mr. Ruan Zhouzi, I have no grudge against you, why did you send me here?

Seeing him standing stupidly, neither defending nor moving, two of them stepped forward and tied Lu Xin's arms and asked, "Who is it? What is the purpose of coming to Qianyan Island?"

"I'm an alien student, and I'm here to ...... Played. Lu Xin replied tremblingly.

"Nonsense! Foreign, Fanlong Islands are also coming whenever they want?" the samurai at the head reprimanded sharply.

Only then did Lu Xin understand that the so-called Fan cage was the collective name of an archipelago, and Qianyan Island was one of them.

The man pointed his long sword in front of Lu Xin and asked sharply, "Say, how did you kid get in?"

When Lu Xin saw the cold sword pointing at him, he trembled and said, "Yes...... It was Ruan Zhouzi's seniors who sent me here. ”

Ruan Zhouzi?

"I really know how to make it up, Mr. has ascended to immortality hundreds of years ago, how can I send you here?" said those people coldly.

"Gao Guard, I'm afraid it's a spy on the Isle of Meng'n—" said one of the people next to him.

"Well, there is some truth, seeing that he is dressed so strangely, it is obviously deliberately disguised, it must be the meticulous work of Wu Luo!" Lu Xin realized that among this group of ancients dressed in long shirts and wide sleeves, his ripped jeans and striped T-shirts have become unusual and unusual.

Lu Xin felt that the sword forced his flesh and skin tighter, and he was extremely frightened in his heart, but he still insisted and said: "What a spy, I don't do that business! It was Ruan Zhouzi's predecessor who sent me, you see that the petal-turned boat is still there!" After speaking, Lu Xin hurriedly signaled, but there was still the shadow of the petal boat on the shore!

"Hu Biao said nonsense, slaughtered!" Those people naturally didn't see the petal boat, and the sword-wielding man showed a fierce light, and Lu Xin was very frightened: This is the end! I knew that this would be like this, and I would rather be trained by my parents, teachers, and class teachers over and over again until my brain exploded.

However, regret is the most useless emotion.

Just when Lu Xin's life was hanging by a thread, a voice sounded in time.

"Slow!"

Lu Xin felt that he was saved. He hurriedly looked up and watched.
