Dogo Aig said with a surprised look: "I thought there was something hiding in this thatched house, so my attack was offset by this thatched house."
Liu Xing stepped forward and took a look at the situation inside the thatched house, and found that there was indeed nothing inside.
"It seems that this thatched house is not the key to cracking this illusion, but Doge Aige, next time you are about to take action, how about you discuss it with me in advance, and don't just do it alone." Liu Xing looked at it angrily.
Dogo Aig, "If there is a problem in this thatched house, for example, if the spears emit black smoke like those before, wouldn't we be out of luck?"
Dogegeg touched his head in embarrassment and said, "This is my fault. My original thought was that there must be someone or a mythical creature in this thatched house, so I planned to catch him off guard."
Liu Xing shook his head and said directly to the stone bridge and the river, "You have eliminated a wrong option, so the key to cracking this illusion is still the stone bridge and the river, so now we have two choices before us.
In front of us, the first choice is to go for a walk and walk across this stone bridge first; the second option is to go for a walk and go down to the river to see what’s going on underwater.”
"Isn't that just a reckless move? But the water in this river is crystal clear. Do we need to go down?" Dogo Aig asked doubtfully.
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "Since this place is in an illusion, the bottom of the river may also be a deception, so we may have to go into the water in person before we can see clearly what is going on at the bottom of the river. But going down to the river
The risk may be higher than crossing the bridge, because judging from the current situation, crossing the bridge is likely to just make us appear on the other side of the illusion."
Dogegeg walked to the river and said: "Then let's go down to the river. After all, I am a deep diver, and I have bonus abilities in the water."
Dogo Aig said and planned to jump into the water.
Liu Xing quickly stepped forward and grabbed Dogo Aige, "Don't be so impulsive, okay? Let's try other things first and then talk."
Liu Xing picked up a small stone from the side and threw it into the river. As a result, the small stone disappeared after sinking to the bottom.
This is exactly the same as what happened just now.
"Sure enough, there is also a problem at the bottom of the river." Liu Xing touched his chin and said, "If nothing else happens, this bottom of the river should be connected to another space. It may be the real space we were in before, or it may be another illusory space.
."
Liu Xing glanced at Shiqiao again and continued: "In this way, we are now on an xy axis. In addition to the space we are in now, there are three other spaces, and the xy axes are respectively
Small river and stone bridge.”
Dogo Aige looked at Liu Xing in confusion, as if he didn't know what to say.
Liu Xing shook his head and said: "To put it simply, we have to go to the remaining three spaces to find out what's going on before we can determine how to crack this illusion world. So Dogo Aige, you can go forward now and go first."
Cross that stone bridge."
"No problem, I will listen to you."
Dogo Aig immediately walked onto the stone bridge, and then disappeared without a trace after crossing the stone bridge.
Liu Xing was a little surprised, because he didn’t expect Dogo Ige to believe in him so much, or how he believed in "Liu Xing". When he saw that Tener should have helped Dogo Ige a lot when he was in England, he was able to let Dogo Ige
So trusting.
Just when Liu Xing stepped on the stone bridge, a big face suddenly appeared on the stone bridge, which scared Liu Xing and took several steps back.
Liu Xing took a closer look and realized that the owner of that big face was Dogo Aige.
"Liu Xing, come here quickly, the space here has really become different."
After Dogo Aig finished speaking, he retracted his head.
Liu Xing immediately walked quickly across the stone bridge, and then found that the scenery in front of him changed from a cave to a field.
Dogo Aige pointed to the harvested field and said: "This space is really big. You can't even see the end at a glance. So why don't we try to keep walking along this road? Can we go far?"
In that village where I live.”
Liu Xing looked in the direction pointed by Dogo Aige and found that there was indeed a small village two or three kilometers away, and there was still smoke rising from the small village. It seemed that there should be someone living in this small village.
.
At this moment, Liu Xing suddenly heard a "quacking" sound coming from behind.
Liu Xing looked back and found a towering tree behind him. The tree was covered with vines as thick as his wrist, but these vines had withered.
On this big tree, Liu Xing also saw several crows, and these crows were staring at him.
What made Liu Xing feel chilled was that these crows all had eight slender eyes, and their eyes were all blood red.
What the hell is this.
"Liu Xing, don't worry. Although these crows look a little ugly, they are not aggressive at all. When I just tried to hit them with stones, they were just scared away." Duo Ge
Egger said with a smile, "But this is a bit like an extinct mythical creature - the eight-eyed crow, which is a companion beast of another mythical creature. But with the extinction of another mythical creature, the eight-eyed crow also
It perished along with it. Now its existence can only be found from the documents of some mythical creature tribes. However, what specific abilities the eight-eyed crow has and what another mythical creature it is associated with is unknown. After all,
There are quite a few mythical creatures that have perished since ancient times.”
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "I see, but this illusion seems quite interesting. It actually restored an ancient Chinese poem."
"What word?" Dogo Aig said doubtfully.
Liu Xing cleared his throat and read: "Withered vines and old trees, dim crows, small bridges and flowing water, people's houses, the west wind and thin horses on the ancient roads; the sunset, the heartbroken people are at the end of the world."
Fortunately, the poem "Tianjingsha. Qiu Si" is composed of nouns, so it is quite simple to translate it into the island Mandarin, and it does not go too far, so Dogo Aige can easily understand this poem.
mean.
"Yes, there are indeed dead vines, old trees and crows here, and the space just now also has small bridges, flowing water and thatched houses. So if we had just jumped into the river, then we would have either encountered a
Do you see a dead horse on the road, or do you see a person in the sunset?" Dogo Aig said, touching his chin.
"It stands to reason that this should be the case."
Liu Xing glanced at the people in the distance again, shook his head and said, "But I don't think this illusion is that simple, so let's try to go to that village first."
Dogo Aig nodded and took the lead.
In order to take a shortcut, Doge Aige and Liu Xing headed directly to the village through the harvested fields.
In Liu Xing's mind, the village might be like a mirage. If he takes a step toward it, it will take a step away from him. In short, he will always keep a certain distance from himself, so that it looks like a qualified phantom space.
Unfortunately, this village is getting closer and closer to Liu Xing and Liu Xing, and Liu Xing can vaguely hear many people talking in the village, and it seems like some kind of activity is being held.
Liu Xing and Doge Aige speeded up their pace in unison.
After getting closer, Liu Xing became more certain that this small village was holding some kind of activity, because Liu Xing could already hear the sound of gongs and drums.
Now that it has been determined that there should be "people" in the village, Liu Xing and Dogo Aige naturally cannot take shortcuts on other people's fields, so Liu Xing and Dogo Aige set off on the road again.
After walking for a few more minutes, Liu Xing and Doge Aige arrived outside the small village.
Looking at the men, women, and children in ancient costumes in the village, Liu Xing and Doge Aige both felt that they were a little out of place with the scene in front of them. After all, Liu Xing was still wearing a diving suit... and so on.
Liu Xing suddenly found that the diving suit he was wearing had been replaced by a white robe at some point, and Dogo Aige had changed into a short suit.
"When did we change into these clothes?" Liu Xing asked Dogo Aige with some confusion.
Dogo Aig shook his head and said with the same doubt: "It must have been just now, because I remember that we had not changed clothes when we entered here, but since this is an illusion space, then anything is possible."
While Liu Xing and Dogo Aige were standing outside the village talking, an old man came over and said to Liu Xing: "Sir, are you here?"
gentlemen?
Liu Xing noticed that the old man spoke Chinese, and "Mr." in Chinese was an honorific in ancient times, and was often used to address knowledgeable scholars.
Liu Xing looked at his new outfit and found that he indeed looked like a scholar at this time.
So Liu Xing pretended to cup his hands and said with a smile: "My dear husband, my friend and I passed by here by chance and wanted to ask for a bowl of water. As we got closer, we discovered what your place was celebrating, so for a moment
I don’t know whether I should come in or not.”
After some discussion, Liu Xing felt that the two ancient sentences he quoted were a bit embarrassing, and they were not written clearly or clearly.
However, the old man didn't care, and directly pulled Liu Xing into the village, "Sir, please come in. We are celebrating this year's great harvest, so we specially gathered together to have a flowing feast after the busy farming season. If you, sir,
If you don't mind, please sit down and eat before leaving."
It was hard to refuse such hospitality, so Liu Xing could only nod in agreement, and Dogo Aige, who was ignored, could only follow Liu Xing into the village.
After walking into the village, Liu Xing discovered that the village was quite big, with thirty or forty houses, and because there were many people in one household in ancient times, there must be hundreds of people in this village.
The villagers were very enthusiastic about the arrival of Liu Xing and Dogo Aige. After Liu Xing and Dogo Aige sat down, they came over to propose a toast.
But again, the wine in ancient times was not delicious, and the farmer's wine-making technology was even simpler. The wine was all so-called cloudy wine. Liu Xing could clearly see that there were a lot of floating objects in the wine.
Liu Xing, who was alert, took a closer look, and after confirming that these floating objects were just grain residues used for brewing, and not the poisonous insects that Liu Xing thought, Liu Xing drank all the turbid wine in the cup.
However, facing these enthusiastic ancient people, Liu Xing was still a little worried. After all, this was an illusion space.
So after drinking two glasses of wine, Liu Xing began to excuse himself on the grounds that he still had to go on the road, and began to immerse himself in eating.
Although the chicken, duck, fish and meat on the table are all available, and they are all truly original and pollution-free food, the taste is still a bit off, because there is basically no seasoning in these dishes.
As a Shu native, Liu Xing still has a strong taste.
After eating and drinking like this for a while, Liu Xing couldn't help but said to the old man: "Old man, what kind of village are you here?"
The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "Our village doesn't have an official name yet, because our village was just established last year, and we villagers were originally refugees from all over the world."
Refugees?
Liu Xing looked at the surrounding villagers with some surprise. He didn't expect that they were still refugees last year.
Because the agricultural technology in ancient times was not developed, and the powerful landlords oppressed their farmers, many farmers would lose their fields in a disaster year and either become tenants of the powerful landlords, or become refugees begging everywhere.
To make a living.
However, even if you become a refugee, there are only two possibilities in the end - die on the road away from your hometown, or be taken over as a tenant by a powerful landlord elsewhere.
All in all, life for refugees is not easy.
Just when Liu Xing didn't know what to say, the old man continued: "Thankfully Mr. Lu here is a kind man, otherwise we refugees might have died on the roadside where we don't know where."
Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it seems that Mr. Lu is pretty good to you. He even built such a good house for you... Wait, Mr. Lu?"
Liu Xing carefully looked at the costumes of the nearby villagers, used his half-baked historical knowledge from movies, TV series and novels to judge, and found that they should be from the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Therefore, Liu Xing suddenly remembered another poem.
"Oh, do you know Mr. Lu? If I remember correctly, Mr. Lu's name is Lu You and Lu Fangguan." The old man said seriously.
Sure enough.
Liu Xing frowned. Unexpectedly, he and Dogo Aige entered another poem.
Lu You, "Visiting Shanxi Village"
Don't laugh at the farmer's wine, which is thick with wax and wine. In good years, there are enough chickens and dolphins from the guests.
Mountain darkly, vista.
The flutes and drums follow the Spring Society, and the simple and ancient style of clothing remains.
From now on, if I am allowed to take advantage of the moonlight, I will knock on the door all the time and night with my stick.
