Liu Xing frowned and asked: "Old man, where does Mr. Lu live now? I am actually the son of one of his old friends. Since I am here, I naturally want to visit him."
The old man nodded, pointed to the mountain behind him and said: "You only need to climb over this mountain to see Songshi City. Now Mr. Lu lives in Songshi City. You can ask passers-by for the specific location of his mansion."
You should be able to find it.”
Without further ado, Liu Xing called up Doge Aige who was still eating and drinking, and said goodbye to the old man.
On the way, Dogo Aig burped and said, "Let me tell you, the food in this illusion space is quite delicious, but the wine is a bit unpalatable."
Liu Xing rolled his eyes at Dogo Aige and said helplessly: "Aren't you worried that there will be problems with the food and drinks? Or after we leave this illusion space, you won't be afraid that a pit will be dug in front of you.
Did all that dirt go into your stomach?"
Hearing what Liu Xing said, Dogo Aige shuddered and said: "I don't think this should happen, because even if this illusory space can deceive our vision, hearing and sense of space, it should be impossible to deceive.
Our sense of taste, after all, the tongue is part of our body."
Liu Xing shook his head and said seriously: "That's not necessarily true. To put it bluntly, the taste buds on the tongue sense the corresponding taste and release a signal to your brain, and then your brain will let you know about it.
What does it taste like, so this illusory space only needs to deceive your brain and send corresponding false signals to your brain, and there is a chance that your brain will mistakenly think that you have eaten the corresponding thing."
Speaking of this, Liu Xing suddenly remembered that when he was in college, he once heard a teacher say that the most powerful liar in the world is your brain.
Even Liu Xing has heard of such a conspiracy theory, that is, humans no longer have real brains, because the current "human brain" is actually a parasitic organism. Because it has not evolved its own limbs and body, it can only
It takes over the human body after devouring the original human brain. This explains why the brain sometimes cannot keep up with the body, because the brain is not the "original partner" of the body, so it requires a certain response.
time to process various information.
Then there is an advanced version of this conspiracy theory - the brain is actually a parasite from aliens. After they were forced to come to the earth, in order to survive, they chose to parasitize on ancient humans, or it can be said directly on apes, and then began
Guiding these apes to continuously evolve into humans can also be regarded as an explanation for the fact that some apes can evolve into humans, while other apes with similar conditions have spent so much time before they have begun to evolve.
Of course, these conspiracy theories are definitely untenable if carefully considered... But in this parallel world with the Cthulhu mythology as the background, Liu Xing estimates that these conspiracy theories are quite possible. After all, this
All kinds of monsters and ghosts appear in the parallel world. It is very easy for humans to become mythical creatures. For example, Dogo Egg next to Liu Xing almost seamlessly transformed from a human into a deep diver. It can be said that it is a bit of platitude.
There were no adverse reactions.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask: "Dogo Aig, it's boring to be on the road now, so tell me how you feel after becoming a deep diver. After all, you have changed from a human to another."
A species."
Dogo Egger touched his head and thought for a while before speaking: "Personally, I don't think there is much difference, or I feel like one of those mutated superheroes or super villains in Marvel movies.
After getting familiar with my new body, I didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, I felt that it was much easier to use than my previous body. I could easily do things that my original body couldn't do. In short, it was a great feeling.
What’s more, I can turn back into a human and live my life at any time now.”
While talking, Dogo Aige started to perform, and with a few jumps he reached a place more than ten meters away. This speed of movement was beyond what Liu Xing could compare with.
"By the way, Liu Xing, why are you so anxious to see that Mr. Lu? Do you really know that Mr. Lu? Isn't he an ancient person?" Dogo Aige asked doubtfully.
Liu Xing sighed and said seriously: "I do know Mr. Lu, or in other words, all Chinese people know the name Lu You, because he is one of the most famous poets in Chinese history, so is it in our textbooks?"
Many of the poems he wrote, such as where we are now, should be the first sentence of one of his poems - "Visiting Shanxi Village": Don't laugh at the farmer's wax wine, which is full of chickens and dolphins for visitors in good years."
"Oh, no wonder that village would keep us here for dinner. It turns out that's what the poem says... Wait, Liu Xing, do you mean that we have come to another poem now?" Dogo Aige
He said with wide eyes.
Liu Xing nodded, looked at the old tree that was vaguely visible in the distance and said: "Yes, we are now at the site of another poem. I didn't expect that this phantom space is so interesting. It actually combines two poems.
Pieced together to form a..."
Before Liu Xing finished speaking, Doge Aige slapped his thigh and said: "I understand, we are not in an illusion space now, but in a legendary poem and song!"
Poems and songs?
Liu Xing looked at Dogo Aige with a blank expression.
Dogo Aige looked at Liu Xing and said seriously: "Although for ordinary people, poetry and poetry are a collective term for ancient Chinese literature, for us mythical creatures, these four words represent the same powerful treasure. It is said that
This treasure was left by the two most powerful ancient gods in China - Nuwa and Fuxi. As for the ability of this treasure, I believe you can guess it, Liu Xing. It is to contain all the classic Chinese poems and songs.
Appearing in a new world, both the scenery and the characters are lifelike, or in other words, they are real.”
"But the most important thing is that all the creatures in the world of poetry and songs will not die. After all, they are all real creatures, but they were created with the pen and ink of the Chinese authors of all dynasties, so even if they are the old rulers
Being in the world of poetry and poetry, you can't do anything to these creatures, so the ability of this treasure is very scary. But I heard that if the user is strong enough, the world of poetry and poetry can interact with the real world.
After fusion, humans and mythical creatures in the real world will be in trouble. After all, no one wants to be neighbors with a group of people who can't be killed, right? Even if they don't have any ill intentions."
Liu Xing thought about it carefully and felt that what Dogo Aig said made sense. If there was such an immortal beside him, even if he looked exactly like an ordinary human being, he would not do anything to harm himself.
, I will instinctively reject him because he is "different" from me.
Just like when facing disabled people, even if most people don't say anything verbally, they still have some murmurs in their hearts and treat these disabled people separately from normal people like themselves.
Therefore, in many movies, TV series, novels and animations, as long as mutants appear in the world, most ordinary people will regard them as savage beasts and subconsciously classify them as "human beings"... In addition, there are
Cloning humans, re-editing genes, and creating new humans that will be more outstanding in all aspects, etc.
This involves self-recognition.
Liu Xing shook his head and brought back his wandering thoughts, "This shouldn't be the case. How could a treasure like this, which can be called a world-class artifact, fall into the hands of an ordinary Deep Diver pirate like McIntyre?"
Dogo Egg nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, the ultimate treasure that can form a world of its own like poetry and songs is rare in the entire universe, even the one Matsui Yui and the others believe in
Cthulhu, the ruler of the old days, did not have such a magical treasure in his hands, but the poems and songs disappeared without a trace a long time ago, and then from time to time, a fragment of page would wander into the world through various methods, such as in the Ten
Many years ago, the Huaxia Daomen obtained a fragment of poetry and poetry, and the fragment turned into a supermarket leaflet and fell to the ground."
"Is there still such an operation?"
Looking at Liu Xing who looked surprised, Doge Aige nodded and said: "There is such an operation. I heard that the broken page was discovered by the Huaxia Daomen at the first time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, because of these
The fragments of poems and songs will be activated when certain conditions are met, sucking in all nearby creatures within a certain range. And the fragment of poetry happens to record a frontier poem, so people who enter it will be directly
Being on a battlefield, the risk factor is beyond what we can compare with now."
Liu Xing looked at the harmonious scenery around him and couldn't help but began to rejoice that he was lucky and was not thrown into the world of frontier poetry. Otherwise, if he were an ordinary person and got mixed up in the battle of a group of undead people, he would definitely become a hero on the battlefield.
The only one who died.
But now the question arises, how should I leave the world created by poems, lyrics and songs?
Before Liu Xing could speak, Doge Aige said helplessly: "I know what you want to ask Liu Xing, but I don't know either, because even the fragments of poems and songs cannot be read by the entire island country.
To half a table, so Yui and the others only heard some gossip, and I listened to it as a story at the time, so Liu Xing, if you want to ask me how to leave here, then I can only say I don’t know.
Already..."
Looking at Dogo Egg who suddenly lost his temper, Liu Xing shook his head helplessly, "If nothing else happens, this fragment of poems and songs should have turned into the rice paper McIntyre used when painting, but at that time
McIntyre did not activate this fragment of the page. Instead, it was suddenly activated after McIntyre sealed the treasure spot and before we entered the treasure spot... I think it appeared after the spear was broken.
The black mist that dispersed probably touched the broken page, and then made the broken page in a semi-activated state, so we only saw the small bridge and flowing water at the beginning.
.”
"As time went by, the broken page was completely activated, and when we came back to check the situation, we were involved in this broken page. This is the only explanation I can think of now; but the biggest problem now is,
The world in this fragment may not be as safe as we think, because those eight-eyed crows are not the original inhabitants of this fragment, so this fragment may have entered a group of myths a long time ago.
creatures, so what we need to be careful about now are these mythical creatures.”
As Liu Xing spoke, he walked to the top of the mountain...and was stunned by the scenery in front of him.
"Liu Xing, what are you doing standing there?"
Doge Aige, who was a few steps behind Liu Xing, was a little confused, but when he walked to Liu Xing's side, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The reason is very simple. There is nothing in front of Liu Xing and Doge Aige!
Blank.
After a while, Liu Xing took a deep breath and said: "It seems that this fragment only contains the first sentence of "Visiting Shanxi Village", and the following three sentences are all on another fragment, so we will start from here.
There is nothing left.”
At this time, Dogo Ige couldn't help but want to reach out and enter the blank space in front of him, but Liu Xing immediately stopped him, "Dogo Ige, do you want to die? This blank space is obviously a real blank, so enter
Everything in it will become blank!"
As Liu Xing spoke, he kicked a small stone at his feet into the blank space in front of him, and the small stone disappeared immediately.
But this time both Liu Xing and Dogo Aige could clearly see that the small stone did not disappear out of thin air, but instantly decomposed into smaller stones, and then continued to decompose into smaller stones.
Molecules invisible to the naked eye.
After a moment, another small stone appeared at Liu Xing's feet. This small stone was exactly the same as the previous small stone... Of course, this was just Liu Xing's guess, because Liu Xing had not paid attention to this stone just now.
Looks like a small stone.
"I think you, Dogo Aige, are not part of this broken page, so you shouldn't enjoy the treatment of being dismantled and then reorganized, right?" Liu Xing looked at Dogo Aige and said.
At this time, Dogo Aig had already taken two steps back, put his hands behind his back and said, "Hey, hey, hey."
Liu Xing sighed, turned around and said, "It seems we have to go back to find those eight-eyed crows now. I hope they can point me to a clear path."
Dogo Aige nodded and followed Liu Xing down the mountain.
