Chapter 434 Xu Fu (2)
After hearing about the elixir of life, Wang Siyan's expression became a little subtle. Although Zhu Ying, who was wearing a crow mask, couldn't see her expression, she could still see the ups and downs of her emotions from her subtle movements.
Zhou Ming was also thinking. What puzzled him the most was how Xu Fu could appear here. This place is obviously the ruins of the Bermuda Triangle, and Xu Fu is a historical figure in the Yan Kingdom. This place and this person are obviously incomparable.
Son.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Zhou Ming's ears.
"Xu Fu, the alchemist who sought the elixir of immortality. Many people speculate that the reason why Qin Shihuang burned books and harassed scholars was because he was deceived by Xu Fu, because Xu Fu did not bring back the elixir of immortality."
Zhou Ming looked around and saw that familiar figure!
Sister Xingyue appears again!
'Sister Xingyue, you finally appeared. I thought you disappeared.' Zhou Ming greeted Ping Xingyue in his heart.
Ping Xingyue, who was wearing a deerstalker hat and holding a cane, was standing by the pillar. He walked slowly to Zhou Ming's side and showed a warm and calm smile: "Why did you disappear? It's just a matter of timing. I haven't seen you for a while. You
I'm so happy for you that you've come this far."
'Sister Xingyue, you took the land route, not the water route, right? You went to the deepest part of the Bermuda Triangle. What is there?'
"I don't know, I remember I told you many times, there are many things I don't know.
But there must be a reason why I left that note to you. The only thing I can help you with now is to popularize the historical knowledge of Yan Kingdom. You are particularly lacking in this aspect.
But why did Xu Fu appear here? This is the Bermuda Triangle." Ping Xingyue also looked extremely confused, she had obviously been here before.
Zhou Ming could feel that although Sister Xingyue was indeed Sister Xingyue, there was still a part missing. She knew how to guide him, but she didn’t know where she would lead him in the end. Maybe she could get the Heart Demon Stone and open the red fan.
The door is the end point of her guidance.
"You three, please take a seat. You are tired from the journey, and a meager drink is not respectful."
Xu Fu clapped his hands gently, and a large group of masked waiters ran up from the lower cabin, set up a low table, put down cushions, placed plates of delicacies on the table, and then quietly left.
Zhou Ming sat down on the cushion, looking at the food in front of him, his doubts became more serious.
There is no doubt that this ship and this place are weird. It cannot be original.
Ping Xingyue: "According to historians' speculation, Xu Fu should have gone in the direction of Sakura Country, and it should have nothing to do with the Bermuda Triangle. Moreover, people from the Qin Dynasty should not be alive today, unless he
Did he really find the elixir of life and take the elixir himself, or—"
Ping Xingyue paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes and said: "The time and space in this sea area is chaotic."
"It is indeed possible that the distance we sailed does not match the map." Zhou Ming replied.
Ping Xingyue pointed to the delicacies on the table and said: "Look at the meat, seafood is normal, but there are also pork and mutton. How could such land food be brought to the sea?
These pigs and muttons are not pickled products, which means they brought live pigs and live sheep on board, which is extremely unreasonable."
Indeed, it is very unreasonable, Zhou Ming thought to himself.
"And have you noticed that Xu Fu looked at Siyan very differently from the moment he got on the boat?" Ping Xingyue reminded.
Zhou Ming raised his head and looked at Xu Fu, who was sitting opposite. Although the other party tried his best to restrain himself, he still glanced at Wang Siyan unconsciously from the corner of his eye. Everyone could see that he was very interested in Wang Siyan.
Zhou Ming had already sensed Xu Fu's interest in Wang Siyan when he got on the ship, but he didn't particularly care at the time because Wang Siyan himself had the charm to twist men's minds. Xu Fu's performance was different from that of other men who saw Wang Siyan for the first time.
Not much difference.
But now, after Ping Xingyue's reminder, Zhou Ming suddenly tasted something else from Xu Fu's eyes.
Zhou Ming turned his head slightly and looked at Wang Siyan beside him.
Wang Siyan understood, turned to look at Xu Fu who was sitting opposite, and asked: "Mr. Xu Fu, how long have you been floating on this sea?"
Zhou Ming felt that this question was a good one. Xu Fu's time drifting at sea was very critical because Xu Fu's reaction when he saw them was too calm.
Their clothes were very different from those of the Qin Dynasty people, but Xu Fu was not surprised, as if he had seen them before.
If Xu Fu and this ship are a strange thing formed by the Bermuda Triangle, then why does he have such a strange setting?
Although the original rumors that form weirdness are all kinds of weird, most of them also follow the set logic acceptable to humans, because only with reasonable logic can weirdness be real and can trigger real fear emotions. The basis behind fictional horror is
Reality.
Xu Fu, who has taken the elixir of life and has been floating on the sea, is easy to accept.
But it would be difficult for people to accept a Xu Fu who took the elixir of life, could speak Mandarin, and was not surprised when he saw modern people, unless the prototype of the story had a more complicated foreshadowing.
For some reason, Zhou Ming felt vaguely uneasy since he boarded the ship. Compared with the ruins of Kyoto in the Land of Sakura, the ruins of the Bermuda Triangle had a weird atmosphere everywhere.
Whether it's the National Socialist Army during World War II or Xu Fu in the Qin Dynasty, every detail has an uncomfortable sense of dissonance.
"I've been at sea... I don't know how long, it's been a long, long time," Xu Fu said.
He picked up the bowl, drank the wine in one gulp, wiped off the remaining wine stains on his beard boldly, squinted his eyes, and admired Wang Siyan's beauty.
"How long exactly is it? Although there are no timekeeping tools at sea, there are still sunrises and sunsets. You probably always have an impression, right?" Zhu Ying asked.
"One hundred years? Or two hundred years? I haven't counted the days since ten years! I guess His Majesty must have passed away. I don't know how many generations of Qin it is now." Xu Fu said with a smile, "But
It doesn't matter if His Majesty dies, as long as I can bring the elixir of life, Your Majesty will definitely reward me heavily."
Zhou Ming heard this and thought that Xu Fu didn't know that the Qin Dynasty had been destroyed.
The dynasties since the Qin Dynasty have changed several times.
In addition, he actually said that he had been floating on the sea for a hundred years, which meant... that he had taken the elixir of life.
"Where did you come from? Are the clothes in Da Qin so special now?" Xu Fu used the excuse of looking at the clothes and glanced at Wang Siyan with a pair of eyes.
"Well, there are indeed great changes outside." Wang Siyan calmly changed the subject.
At this time, the masked waiters ran up from the lower cabin and brought more wine and food.
The waiters came to Zhou Ming and saw that Zhou Ming and the others had not tasted it. They were stunned for a moment and looked up at Zhou Ming: "Aren't you going to eat it?"
The waiter's voice was hoarse and unpleasant. Zhou Ming saw a pair of strange eyes through the two holes in the mask. One of the other's eyes was very slender, like a slit, and the other eye was wide open and looked weird.
Incomparable.
"You're not hungry yet, just leave it here, thank you." Zhou Ming said politely.
The waiter put the food down, picked up the plate, and with an indescribable awkward posture, took intermittent steps and ran to the lower level of the cabin again.
"The eyes are impressive, the walking posture is a little wrong, the hands are not exposed, and their sleeves are too long." Ping Xingyue said.
At the same time that Ping Xingyue spoke, Wang Siyan, who was sitting next to Zhou Ming, also noticed a clue.
She lowered her voice and said to Zhou Ming: "He said he was floating for a hundred or two hundred years. Did everyone on the ship take the elixir of life?"
Ping Xingyue: "Historical books say that Xu Fu went to sea with six hundred boys and girls... Speaking of which, since you boarded the ship, besides Xu Fu, have you seen anyone else without a mask?"
Zhou Ming was shocked and replied: 'No, from the moment we boarded the ship, the only one who saw his face was Xu Fu.'
