This is what Enkidu heard when he gained self-awareness. Although the speaker seemed to hesitate for a moment to think of a name, which made the whole sentence a bit too long, he still got his name.
However, at the same time as he gained self-awareness and a name, Enkidu felt a terrible pressure from all directions, which seemed to be able to "compress" him into a state where there was no more space in his body in just an instant.
Fortunately, those pressures did not crush Enkidu in such a "moment". When he received his name, he had already left the place full of "pressure".
At the last moment, he opened his eyes to try to see clearly who had given him consciousness and name, but he could only see a deep darkness in his eyes, so he had to choose to smile in front of himself and said:
"'Enkidu' thanks the Taoist ancestor for bestowing his name."
Bang!
In the next moment, he came from an unknown place and a place of great pressure to a world filled with green, white, and blue colors.
Directly above is the blue that occupies half of the world, and where it is is the constantly flowing white, and among the interlaced blue and white, there are patches of green that sit steadily among them.
In front of him was a bright golden block that was roughly oval in shape and had a light blue "center".
"Where is this?" Enkidu looked around: "This situation seems abnormal. Could it be..."
He looked down and found that the "clothes" he felt were not close-fitting were also a white patch, but there were a few green strips hanging from his head. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "Look
It's a problem with my eyes."
The green-haired boy raised his hand, which also appeared to be light yellow, and covered his eyes.
"This way, there should be no problem." He muttered to himself, put down his palm and looked in all directions.
Blue is the clear blue sky, like a gemstone, white is the white fluffy clouds that gather and disperse at times, and the green ones are dotted in the sea of clouds, with large and small floating islands.
"Well..." Enkidu looked at his palm: "Is it okay to just adjust your eyes so that you can see the scenery clearly?"
It was the same when he left that "stressful" world before. He wanted to thank that "someone", but he didn't know how to do it or how to address it. As a result, his face smiled on its own, and his mouth said that incomprehensible sentence.
Words, what is Taozu?
He touched his face again and found that he could not make the smile he showed then, even if he used his fingers to push up the corners of his mouth.
"Even now, there are many contents in the words I spoke that are incomprehensible," Enkidu blinked and turned his gaze to the gold and blue he saw before, which should not be far away.
It was a strange, oval-shaped stone door carved from a stone that exuded a pale golden light. It was as tall as five or six Enkidus. A light blue light like water flowed through the gap in the door.
.
"For now, let's go and have a look." After Enkidu confirmed that there was only such a special thing within his field of vision, he took a step towards it.
Bang!
Enkidu took a step and fell to the ground.
"What..." He stood up slightly and turned around to look in surprise - he had indeed taken "one step", but it was only "one step". The other leg that had not received the instruction to move forward did not cooperate with it at all.
The brothers alternately moved forward, but during the "second step" Enkidu lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Okay, it seems I have to control them accurately." Enkidu stood up again, and then consciously controlled his left leg to move forward, his right leg to move forward, his left leg to move forward...
Although he was indeed moving forward as a whole, he was as stiff as a puppet on strings.
After counting "left, right, left" before arriving at the golden door, Enkidu discovered that it seemed to be just a decoration, because no matter whether he passed through it repeatedly or stayed in the blue stream of light in the middle of the door, nothing happened.
.
"If this door leads to the place where I was before, and it will be crushed as soon as I enter, then it will indeed not let me go through. However, it is also possible that it is just a one-way door. I can only enter, but not
"Go out." Enkidu tried to understand this: "Then, if I wait here, I should be able to see other visitors."
The green-haired boy left the golden gate slightly and circled around it, while trying to find a way to control the two legs unintentionally.
Enkidu speculated that the being he or she called "Tao Ancestor" was a bit confused. He or she gave him or her "self-awareness" and "name", as well as a small amount of common sense and logic, but did not give him or her control over the body.
Even animals can perfectly control their movements when they are born...
He looked at the "islands" floating in the blue sky and white clouds. On each of them there were stationary, roughly green "plants", as well as moving "animals" of different colors and strange shapes.
Unless, he is an animal that has never appeared before, so there is no way to control his body in "common sense"...
This seems likely?
Inadvertently, Enkidu fell to the ground again, but because there were soft "clouds" underneath him, he was not seriously injured.
"No, it would be troublesome if I were an animal." Enkidu did not get up, but sat down cross-legged and thought: "If I were some kind of animal, then I should need to eat, although it is common sense that animals will feel hungry.
Then I go looking for food, but what if my belly is just like my eyes and legs and I don’t know its role? Even if I’m about to starve to death and I don’t know it..."
After mentioning "death", the green-haired boy was inexplicably panicked. He quickly got up, looked around, and then walked towards the nearest "floating island" on the fluffy white clouds.
————
What dyed the floating island green was a layer of velvet grass covering its surface. Based on his limited common sense, Enkidu judged that they were obviously inedible, so he tried to find something different and different-looking on the island.
Edible plants.
"Fortunately, I came to 'forage' in advance," Enkidu said, walking barefoot on the grass of the floating island with a blade of grass in his mouth: "I didn't expect that I even have to control my own eating."
In the process of eating, actions such as "biting", "chewing" and "swallowing" all require your own active attention and control. Fortunately, you don't need to control it after swallowing, otherwise Enkidu may decide to just drink "sugar cane"
"juice.
It was a kind of plant with whole segments, straight up and down. They were divided into different types according to their thickness, color and whether they had leaves. After taking two bites of each type, Enkidu thought that the skin was black and the inside was white.
, it’s nice to have sweet and sweet juice when you take a bite.
In addition, he also found "blueberries" that grow in bushes, "watermelons" that grow in the sand by the water, and "radishes" that need to be dug out of the ground. They grow under trees, but they may also grow very big.
of "mushrooms".
However, there seems to be something wrong with these "mushrooms". After eating some particularly good-looking ones, his eyes will again be unable to see clearly and only see patches of color, and he must start over to repair them.
This kind of "repair" or "modification" is perfectly effective for himself, but it is very difficult to use it on foreign objects. Based on Enkidu's own repeated trials, he can be sure that if he wants to make a hollowed out
To re-grow the blueberry bushes, you need to eat up the production of two blueberry bushes, which is completely meaningless.
In addition to "plants", there are also some small animals on this floating island, such as "rabbits". They look very cute, but they seem to be very timid. They turn around and run when they see Enqi from a distance, and "chickens"
, this sharp-beaked and feathered animal was not afraid of Enkidu at all. Instead, it came around to ask for the grass seeds he had saved while grazing around.
However, animals are not entirely friendly. There is a vine-like animal called a "snake" that bit Enkidu hard when it first met him, although Enkidu repaired the damage caused by its fangs.
Despite the wound, I still felt dizzy and extremely thirsty, so I stumbled to the small river on the floating island to drink water, and drank two rivers directly before I regained my composure.
Finally, after almost completely confirming what was available to eat on the floating island, Enkidu discovered a fruit forest on the other edge of the floating island. The tall and leafy trees bore "unknown fruits."
This is very strange. Whether it is an animal or a plant, the corresponding name can be found in "common sense", but this whole pink fruit with a seam on one side and a pointed end cannot get a name. Ling En
Qi Du had the idea of trying it.
But unfortunately, in his current state where he needed to control his hands and feet to move, "climbing a tree" was simply an impossible action, so he wandered around the forest, looking for something to put his feet on.
After a while, Enkidu found no "thing" to put his feet on, but he found a "creature". It was a huge green cow that was quite tall. If he climbed on its back and stood up straight, he would definitely be able to pick the fruit.
"Brother Niu, looking at you standing here, you should also want to eat fruit. Why don't you cooperate with me and share half of the fruit I picked with you?" Enkidu ran to Qing Niu and called him brother.
But Qing Niu just looked at him silently, without saying a word or reacting at all.
"Well... then I'll take it as your consent." Enkidu nodded, climbed onto the back of the cow, stretched out his arms, and picked two fruits.
During this period, the green bull remained motionless.
Click, click, Enkidu jumped to the ground, nibbling the fruit in his hand while handing the other one to Qingniu: "Here, it's agreed."
The green cow moved. Instead of biting the fruit, it opened its mouth and bit off a piece of Enkidu's coat with a stab, then rolled it into its mouth and started chewing it.
"You——" "Ruyi, who broke into my Bajing Palace?"
Before Enkidu had time to get angry, he saw an old man strolling in outside the orchard. He had white beard and hair, a kind face, and was wearing common peasant clothes.
"Ah, does this orchard belong to an owner?" Enkidu was surprised, then stepped forward and said, "I don't know that this is the orchard of my senior. Please forgive me. If there is any compensation that can be made, please feel free to propose it."
"Hmm...hehehe..." The old man looked Enkidu up and down, and suddenly smiled: "The old man was still guessing with the two junior brothers where this 'first person' would appear, but unexpectedly, here he was.
Yeah,"
"Senior?" Enkidu looked confused.
"Do you have a name? Do you want to become my teacher?" the old man continued.
Before Enkidu answered, he suddenly felt that the aura of the old man in front of him had become far-reaching and lofty. To put it simply, if he wanted to kill himself, it would be about as difficult as pulling up a blade of grass on a floating island.
"Junior Enkidu, pay homage to Master." The green-haired boy bowed and saluted.
"This name is quite strange, let's call it [Xuandu]." The old man waved his hand: "And the name of the teacher is -"
