Chapter 20: The Starry Night
In half a month, I spent the most calm and relaxing two days on the back of a white dolphin.
All you need to do is eat while saying some weird pronunciations that are really superficial, and watch Murong Zhi study the language seriously. Everything else is left behind.
I truly enjoy the wind and sunshine of Baiyun Township.
Anyway, I don't bother to learn this kind of barbarian language in my heart, but under the intimidation of her dagger, I just make a show and make a soy sauce.
I don't have dialect understanding, how can she, the Murong clan, have a super mastery of different languages - within two days, she has learned the daily dialogue of Ah XXX Pavilion, and memorized tens of thousands of words in Alpha XXX Pavilion. She privately told me that I would be able to master it in a week, and then I could be taught by my language teacher (I don't want to learn it!).
I think this may be the survival instinct that their Murong clan has acquired when they have been wandering around the world for thousands of years to commit crimes and seek restoration: in order to change their fluent dialect or foreign language at any time, so as to pretend to be someone else and avoid the pursuit of the government - no matter what era it is, vainly claiming to be the emperor is the number one crime in heaven, even if the emperor is a laughing stock today.
Maybe she'll be able to disguise herself?
Murong Zhi will definitely not sue me.
I know her, and she'll keep her cards tight when she doesn't have to.
Why should I let her roll my eyes?
Less than two days away from the island (calculated by a superficial swimming speed), we saw the main peak of Baiyun Township, which cut the island into two parts, north and south—three-quarters north and a quarter south. It's really superficial, and our mountain is regarded as a "sacred mountain" by the local aborigines, and I, who have not specialized in Feng Shui, can see that this mountain is extraordinary—halfway up the mountain, it is covered by thick clouds and mist, and it is difficult to see the true ethereal appearance.
This cloud is not a cloud,
It's all fucking aura!
-- No matter how tall a mountain without aura is, it is just a stack of earth and stones: bare, exposed, and unsubtle.
A good mountain range should be like a dragon, seeing the head but not the tail, not necessarily high enough, but the posture is definitely good. The hidden clouds and mist actually played a role in blocking the spiritual veins and preventing the spiritual energy from leaking, and at the same time, it could hide the spiritual caves and caves in the mountains.
"How big is this island?"
I asked the white dolphins.
"I had nothing to do around the island and swam for a month before I got back to where I was. It's really superficial. ”
"Good guy, it's equivalent to a big county in our Central Plains. ”
"Are you going to the North Peninsula or to the South Peninsula? ”
- Stupid fish, you are an idiot, I scolded in my heart.
"The Chinese are in the Southern Peninsula, of course we go to the south. ”
I blurted out.
Murong Zhi asked another question at this time:
"It's superficial, I look at the South Peninsula, and I have the impression that the south side is full of steep cliffs that are difficult to climb, and the North Peninsula is flat, and it seems that you can land directly from the beach. Why didn't the group of Chinese people thirty years ago choose to land on the North Peninsula, but on the South Peninsula, which is much more difficult. Do you know why?"
"This, this...... Actually, I don't know the specifics very well. I remember that the scattered fleet of your Chinese people appeared from within the Storm Ring and went straight to the North Peninsula. I'm fine anyway, so I'll follow the fleet of the Huaxia people to see the excitement. On the golden sand beach of the North Peninsula, you Chinese people fought with the local natives for some reason, and many people died on both sides - at that time, I watched the excitement for a long time from the distance of the golden beach, and then one of the leaders of your Chinese people came out and fought with the indigenous chieftain for thousands of rounds from noon to late at night. It was a wonderful fight, and it still makes my blood boil when I think about it now—"
I immediately interrupted the really superficial words,
"Talk about the ending, talk about the point. Okay, no?"
It's really superficial and rolled my eyes,
"Later, you Chinese people packed up the corpses of your companions, and the wolf bèi got on the boat, and went around to the South Peninsula, and spent three months digging a hanging ladder on the cliff to the south before going up the mountain and settling down in the South Peninsula. It's really superficial. ”
Murong Zhi and I looked at each other
――It seems that we Chinese and local barbarians have really made a feud, so we have to choose the worse Southern Peninsula.
My retrospective and analysis is really a superficial narrative.
There are Jindan-level leaders and warriors among the Chinese and natives, and the physical fitness to fight for six hours in a row is a clear proof of this. It is not surprising that there are Jindan warriors among the Chinese people, but it is beyond my imagination that the natives can also produce Jindan warriors. Where did the natives get their inheritance of the exercises, or was there any strange elixir that allowed the barbarian warriors to break through that barrier to the sky?
Murong Zhi and I asked a few more superficial questions, this white dolphin has never been deep into the island, and has always only watched from afar, so I don't know the details. We didn't get any more information.
"You Huaxia people have set up a large number of sentry posts, lighthouses, fishing grounds and ports on the cliffs, shall I send you there?"
"Nope. ”
Murong Zhi and I said at the same time.
It's a rare time for us to have a good heart.
"The Chinese people are really strange, since they are their own race, they should rest assured to defect. If I had one of my kind white dolphins, I would be overjoyed. ”
is really superficial and was completely covered by Murong Zhi in the gossip about his family history: he had a mother of a white dolphin, but he died of old age at the age of fifty before he became a sperm. The white dolphin lived for a hundred years in a daze, accidentally opened its spiritual intelligence, realized its own existence, and became the largest fish (and the only fish spirit) in the sea of Baiyun Township, but there is no more of its own kind in this sea.
"Because...... Because we humans are shy and shy, unprepared, and unwilling to go to our own kind. -- It's really superficial, do you know the other places where we landed on the Southern Peninsula -- can we not be seen in the sight of other Chinese people, and we will not be far away from them. ”
As I expected, Murong Zhi began to fool the mentally handicapped creature with clever words again.
Of course, strictly speaking, what she said can be understood as the truth, but readers, it is up to me, the translator, to interpret it.
What she said was: We don't know what the Chinese people who came first think. The possibility of killing us and robbing us of our vows is also preserved. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for us to be as open and honest as we are to distant relatives. Of course, let's go to the mysterious natives, and don't think about it. Can you, the white dolphin, find us a secret stronghold close to the Chinese people first--we'll have to observe for a while before making plans?
- That's right, I found that after many tribulations, I thought everyone else was a bad person, and Murong Zhi and I had a common language.
The white dolphin spirit understood the meaning of Murong Zhiming's face.
"You Chinese people are really weird. For the sake of my sister's beauty and kindness, I'll take you to a shortcut to a landing place. ”
The next evening, we landed in a dark cave on the South Peninsula with no one on the cliff. The cliff is covered with shark-toothed reefs that block the entrance to the cave and make it difficult for boats and people to move around. In fact, there is a vein of dark water under the undercurrent that communicates with the waterhole in the cave, and it is really superficial to shrink his body to seven or eight feet, taking us to dive out of the waterhole in the depths of the cave. Starlight shone through the cracks in the cavern, and we breathed in the scent of land and vegetation.
"Although you Huaxia people are the masters of the Southern Peninsula, you have not explored every part of the Southern Peninsula. Grasp the vines and climb all the way up from the natural cracks in the cave to reach the vicinity of the stronghold of the Huaxia people. But you haven't found it for thirty years. ”
"What do you want in return?"
It's really superficial for me to ask, we pirates are also polite and reciprocal.
If you slash me, I will kill your whole family, you give me a bottle of water to save my life, and I will rob the government treasury of gold and send it to you.
Really shallow big eyes blinked,
"I think this sister is good, so I will carry you ashore, so that you can also be rewarded? I think that having my sister sit on my back for two days is the best reward. ”
- I looked at Murong Zhi, who was shyly smiling, and I understood why many women marry stupid people, because stupid people sometimes shoot sycophants that smart people can't think of.
"That doesn't count, that doesn't count. I waved my hand, "You can ask for gold and silver pills." ”
I'm going to cut off the connection between Stupid Fish and Murong Zhi.
"I'm not unusual. I've been at sea for hundreds of years, and there's very little new to do it, is there anything that can relieve my boredom and keep me from being bored?"
This makes me embarrassed, I can't open a gang now, recruit this stupid fish into the gang, and it won't be boring to grab money and women in the future.
Murong Zhi whispered to me:
"Toys. ”
Ah, I snapped and took a ball out of the ring.
I showed off my perfect keju skills to the superficial Xiangzhen, and with my tumbling and jumping, the ball stuck to my body as if it had taken root. Finally, I kicked "into the sky", and the ball whistled through the first line of the cave and flew up. It's really superficial, looking up and looking up, the ball is gone. It couldn't help but hold its breath for a long time, and the ball fell, gently glued to my toes.
Keju and polo are listed as the first sports in China, and legend has it that in the Taiping era, Keju and Lingyou were the most sought after professions in the imperial capital. My mother instilled in me the fashion of the imperial capital from an early age, and Kemari was also a game for me to relieve boredom when I was bored on the deck of the sea. I have not met any rivals in the eastern seas. Of course, it stunned this white dolphin in the backwoods and left an indelible impression on it for a lifetime.
"Enough, enough. Next time I'm done, we'll have a game. ”
I can't see that it's really superficial and has some athletic talent, and after a few attempts, it can already use its forehead to hit the ball ten times in a row.
"However, before each race, you have to tell us about the dynamics of the fleet of ships of the natives and other Chinese people at sea. ”
I knew that Murong Zhi would not let go of this opportunity to take advantage of the stupid fish, and she really said despicably, this stupid fish was about to be hooked and become her maritime reconnaissance team.
"Okay, okay, no problem, good sister. Yuan Jiankong, let's play next time, see you or leave. ”
"Do you have any other wishes, say them, and I thank you so much. ”
"Haha, then don't bother, you can't help me - I'm going to swim out of this place and play with the mother dolphin outside the Storm Ring. Hahaha"
It was really superficial and made a small splash and left the cave. We'll see you for a spot on this maritime reconnaissance team later.
......
We climbed vines out of the cave, found a clear water source, and hunted a few wingless birds for food—a species that we had just discovered in Baiyun Township, the size of a foal, completely wingless, but walking like a fly. However, the wingless bird is very simple-minded, and we made a little trap and caught two or three alive.
Then we found a hidden hill where we could observe the gathering place of the Chinese people.
I counted the lights, and the gathering point was about the size of 10,000 households, each of which lived in its own small wooden domed village, and in the center was a striking vermilion-domed large village, which was supposed to be the residence of the chief. The perimeter of the gathering point is covered with deer fences. The whole town looks like a big mushroom field.
Farther away is a hill, a hill, a comb-like neat terrace. Further away are dozens of lighthouses sweeping back and forth toward the sea.
It is really superficial that the school is on a relatively independent cliff, but it is actually a lighthouse of stone ramparts, and we see schoolchildren with horns and knotted buns walking hand in hand, and there are also female schoolchildren among the children.
Everywhere there were patrols of the guards, armed with torches and singing loud songs—not the "robbing of women" of our pirates, of course, but the military song "Death of the Nation" in the "Ci of Chu", and it seems that the leader of this gathering place had a deep connection with Confucianism. However, the weapons in their hands were not the metal weapons I imagined, most of them were bone spears, and some were equipped with wooden whistle sticks.
The details of the stockade will have to be questioned in a few days, and I might as well sleep well tonight - I haven't set foot on land for more than a year and a half. In the past year and a half, things have been wrong, and the past has long since left me.
"What is your heart's desire?"
Murong Zhi asked me while carefully lighting a bonfire and roasting wingless birds on skewers.
She was worried that my hands would be frizzy and that the campfire would go too high and be discovered by the townspeople, so she did it herself.
"My wish is to become a primordial infant and kill the dragon who became my father and mother and a boatload of people. ”
I replied.
"Really? so ambitious?"
She knows me so well!
"Lie to you. ”
I'll be honest,
"My father's Jindan has reached the top in his life, and he left us an exercise that is only enough for us to practice Jindan. What kind of creation can reach the Yuan Infant here? Not to mention how can I compete with a dragon in the Yuan Infant realm? My life was bought by my father and mother in exchange for death, and I am afraid of death, and I also know that my father and mother do not want me to die. The killing of our pirates is a regular occurrence in business. I want to protect myself and live a normal life. - Well, I want to ask for a virtuous, beautiful and gentle wife, and I promise not to touch other women. Don't look at what I usually say, in fact, I am not ambitious, and I am very cowardly. ”
Murong Zhi stuffed a piece of wingless bird into my mouth.
"When you're about to die, you're still able to fight for your life with a lot of composure. Kill Hondo, you fought once. I also fought once through the storm ring. I wouldn't be here without you. ”
The wingless bird tasted good - I was moved to tears.
"I have always regretted that if my silver serpent sword had not stabbed the dragon's scales, perhaps my father would not have died, and even if there was a bad result, my mother and a boatload of people would not have died. It's not so much that he hates the dragon, but he regrets his recklessness. I'm the one to blame for the plague of a boatload of people. ”
I burst into tears.
"That's an unintentional mistake, and life is something you can't complain about. ”
"So I don't want you to die, otherwise all the relatives in this world will be ruined by me. I'm not going to make any more inadvertent mistakes. ”
"Will you mess with me in the future?" Murong Zhi stared blankly at the bonfire, her face blurred by the firelight,
"I want to revive Dayan, and my wish is to cultivate the Golden Pill here, and then get out of this place and go outside the Storm Ring to dominate the world. When I become a female emperor, you will be the king side by side. In the future, I will let the whole world kill the dragon. ”
Murong Zhi and I have been together for ten years, she has always been a sensible and cautious girl, but when it comes to Dayan, she suddenly becomes a real madman.
"You should know that reviving Dayan is very absurd, I've always wanted to say this! How many clansmen do you Murong Clan have now, how many years has the Great Yan Kingdom been destroyed, how many people will support you? What children can understand, why can't you figure it out?"
"The Murong royal family only has me, the only descendant, the descendants of the Murong tribe have all assimilated into Huaxia, and the Great Yan Kingdom has been destroyed for 2,500 years, and no one will support me. ”
Murong Zhi suddenly grabbed her hair in pain and cried like a dog,
"I know what you said, whether it's good or not! You think I want to establish the Great Yan Kingdom! This is something that can't be helped! Do you know delusion? Do you know delusion! Do you know delusion!"
Her face twisted, she rolled over and twitched, foaming at the mouth, just like the Murong Zhi I had seen. I rushed over and covered her mouth, her screams were so loud that it was likely for the town's patrolmen to spot us. I pressed my whole body weight under her, locking the joints of her limbs to keep her from going crazy.
After tossing for a while, Murong Zhi stopped her frenzy, she gasped and stared at the starry night sluggishly.
I picked her up and told her to take the water. After waiting for half an hour, his dull eyes finally brightened.
I heard her usual calm voice, and I felt gentle like water.
"Thank you. ”
"It's a good thing that the townspeople didn't find out and sabotage our reconnaissance plan. ”
She and I both laughed. This time I became the one who commanded the action.
"Let me tell you an ancient story, about the Murong royal family, do you want to hear it?"
"Yes. ”
Maybe there was a clue to cure her madness.
