Chapter 46: Insight
When you look at Forest City from the aircraft, you don't have a deep feeling of this wooded city, but you can only feel the vastness of it when you are in the primeval forest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the beginning, each of the five sages chose to save a city, and the female sage surnamed Han chose this big forest. At the time, many people didn't understand why the only woman in the five did this. It was only when natural resources were scarce in the new era that everyone woke up. Compared to several other cities, Forest City has become a paradise. And every year, the number of young people who are promoted to martial arts in Forest City is also the largest. This is all thanks to this primeval forest.
That's why the managers here take the strictest measures to protect the forest. Whoever destroys the flora and fauna in the forest will be sniped by the Warrior Alliance. Therefore, even at an altitude of several thousand meters, this forest has always presented the natural appearance of the old era.
The ground was covered with all kinds of withered leaves, fallen twigs. The foot stepped on it, clicked, snapped the branch, and sank into the wet mud, the leaves keeping the shoe clean.
Autumn walked in the forefront, picked up a branch in his hand and kept shaking, and suddenly there was a man-made thing in his sight, a street sign. He pointed and said, "Look at the sign, this is the only way to get to Area A, why didn't I see the blond guy after walking for a long time?"
Lin Qishu behind her teased: "I think you want to see that blonde beauty, right?"
Autumn said: "Speaking of beauty, where has Bai Yuxiang gone? ”
Lin Qishu said: "Don't worry, that little girl is much more powerful than you think." Maybe you've got carried away by this time. ”
She turned around and pulled the wind night fragrance behind her. Looking at the sky, it was almost night. However, in the forest, it is dark all the time, and at night, the light does not change much for the people in the forest. But the beasts in the forest have changed greatly, and the poisonous insects, snakes and ants don't know when they will come out. At this time, they have to climb the tree with special spars and perch on the branches.
Open fires are not allowed in the forest and are strictly forbidden.
Autumn said: "The thought of three months before I can go out makes me feel uncomfortable. In this environment, it seems like a lot to stay up all day. ”
At this time, the three of them had been together for a while, and several of them spoke a lot more openly. Lin Qishu was still a little reserved when she was an instructor, and later she was no longer restrained. I only heard her say, "Now you know, you all cheered when you set off, and it was too early to complain." The back is more troublesome. When I was a student in the last time I went into the Great Forest, when I came back to the third month, I went out completely into a wild man, disheveled, and unrecognizable. ”
Disheveled, Autumn immediately thought about it, and subconsciously glanced at her lower body, this woman was in the best time of her youth, and her tight pants looked very upright. Lin Qishu realized the omission in her words, and her face turned red.
Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps ahead, and then a small glare light came out. A figure emerged from the depths of the forest.
"Oh, who are you...... Someone from the Martial Arts Academy? Great......"
A man's voice came, looking a little older. The small lamp was very elaborate, with several black streamlined steel bars interlaced with canine teeth, and the light peeked through the middle glass, and there was a handle on it that could be carried, much like a lantern. He dimmed the light and revealed his face.
The man was an elderly man, in his fifties, with a figure-eight beard, not tall but well-dressed, with a black coat like the style of a dress, with two swallowtails hanging behind him. It is an outlier in the forest. Who walks in the forest in a gown?
The man also spoke calmly: "I'm a scholar, I'm out of the team...... I had to spend the night alone. Fortunately, I met you and took the liberty of making a request, can I spend the night with you? ”
Under a few towering giant trees, Lin Qishu found a few adjacent branches and climbed the tree with a whoosh. Wind night incense is loaded with spars, and her hands and feet seem to be sucked on the trunk of a tree, so she climbs up like a gecko.
In the fall, there was still a small black charcoal in the body, and it was never taken off. Bai Yuxiang tried every possible way to learn the cause of that night's vision from him, so Autumn subconsciously wanted to hide this secret. So in front of Lin Qishu, he never took off the spade. In fact, he is too careful, and when ordinary people see his little black charcoal, they will only think that it is a civil spar.
He said to the tree, "I don't have to use my strength to climb up." So he climbed up the trunk of the tree, and moved up little by little, until he reached the branch.
The man's name was Forgetfulness, and his name was a bit strange, but he was a senior doctor in brain and psychiatry, so everyone called him Mr. Forgetfulness.
Mr. Forgetfulness watched a few people climb up the tree like monkeys, the corners of his mouth twitched, and muttered: "I thought you would bring a tent, but I didn't expect it to be a camping ......" He gasped and climbed up the tree, and when he arrived at the autumn, he took a look: "Your academy seems to have very strict requirements for students. ”
Autumn found a place where the branches intersected, lay down comfortably, looked at the covered sky high in the woods, and said, "Mr. Forgetfulness, I see that you are also a good hand among martial artists, haven't you entered the martial arts academy?"
The old man sat down and said, "At that time, martial arts academies were not as common as they are now, and there were not many places. As a martial artist, in addition to martial arts academies, there are many non-governmental organizations that will absorb martial artists. However, later, the Martial Arts Alliance vigorously cultivated the Martial Arts Academy, stipulating that only the students of the Martial Arts Academy were promoted to the political arena, and gave a lot of other benefits, which made the Martial Arts Academy dominant. ”
Mr. Forgetfulness was leaning his back against the trunk of the tree, the two heads were very close to each other, but their backs were to each other, while Lim Ki-sook and Feng Yexiang were on another tree nearby, diagonally above the two of them.
After a while, Mr. Forgetfulness said, "It turns out that it was your instructor, and I thought it was also a student." The current instructor is really young. And you, who don't look very old. When I was your age, I wasn't enlightened. ”
I didn't expect to spend the first night in the forest with such a stranger. Mr. Forgetfulness is a very talkative person, and he talked about what he had seen and heard in the five cities, about the commercial prosperity of Moon City, and about the underground veins of Goldstone City. This person has actually been to the island of the West Star......
"Actually, what I want to go to the most is the ...... below"
Autumn was taken aback: "Below? You mean the continent where human beings originated? Isn't that a forbidden area by the Federation? I heard that the remaining creatures have been mutated because of nuclear radiation, and they are extremely cruel, and those who are exiled there will die." ”
"This kind of thing is the federal government's side of the story. When I was your age, I believed in what I saw and what others said, and I thought I was knowledgeable. But when I got older, I realized that some things may not be true if I didn't see them with my own eyes. Using your mouth to convey things you haven't seen is even more confusing. And, sometimes, what the eye sees may not be true. ”
Autumn was curious, "What do you mean?"
Forgetfulness: "The truth of things needs to be perceived with heart. ”
