Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 932 Poem

   "Why is there nothing in here?"

  Dogo Egger said with an unexpected look: "I thought there was something hiding in this thatched hut, so my attack would be offset by this thatched hut."

   Liu Xing stepped forward, looked at the situation inside the thatched cottage, and found that there was indeed nothing inside.

"It seems that this thatched hut is not the key to cracking this illusion, but Dogo Egger, when you are ready to do it next time, discuss it with me in advance, if you don't want to do it alone." Liu Xing looked angrily. Dogo Egger, "If there is a problem in this thatched hut, for example, black smoke will be emitted like those spears before, then won't we be cold?"

  Dogo Egger touched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "This is my fault. My original thought was that there must be someone or a mythical creature in this thatched hut, 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 ruled out a wrong option, so the key to cracking this illusion is the stone bridge and the river, so now we have two choices. In front of me, the first option is to go straight and walk over this stone bridge first; the second option is to go to the river to see the underwater situation."

   "Isn't that all a direct wave? But this river is crystal clear, do we need to go down?" Dogo Egger asked suspiciously.

Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "Since this place is in an illusion, then the bottom of the river may also be a blindfold, so we may have to go into the water in person before we can see what is going on at the bottom of the river. It's probably more dangerous than crossing the bridge, because as things stand, crossing the bridge will probably just put us on the other side of the illusion."

  Dogo Egger walked to the river and said, "Then let's go down to the river. After all, I am a deep diver, and I have the ability to increase in water."

  Dogo Iger said and planned to jump into the water.

   Liu Xing hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Doge Egger, "Don't be so impulsive, okay? Let's try other things first."

   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 situation as just now.

"Sure enough, there is also a problem with the bottom of the river." Liu Xing touched his chin and said: "If nothing else, 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 phantom space. ."

Liu Xing took another look at the stone bridge and continued: "In this way, we are now on an xy axis, in addition to the space where we are now, there are other three spaces, and the xy axis is Small river and stone bridge."

  Doge Egger looked at Liu Xing with a dazed look, as if he didn't know what to say.

Liu Xing shook his head and said: "Simply put, we have to go to the remaining three spaces to find out, and then we can determine how to crack this phantom world, so Dogo Egger, you can go to the front now, go first. Cross that stone bridge."

   "No problem, I'll listen to you."

  Dogo Egger 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 Iger to believe in himself so much, or how he believed in "Liu Xing", seeing that Turner should have helped Dogo Iger when he was in England, so that he could let Dogo Iger so trusting.

   Just when Liu Xing stepped on the stone bridge, a big face suddenly appeared on the stone bridge, making Liu Xing back several steps in fright.

   Liu Xing took a closer look, only to realize that the owner of that big face was Doge Egger.

   "Liu Xing, come here, the space here has really changed."

  Dogo Egger retracted his head after he finished speaking.

   Liu Xing walked quickly across the stone bridge, and then found that the scenery in front of him had changed from a cave to a field.

Doge Egg pointed to the field that had been harvested and said, "This space is so big that you can't even see the end at a glance, so should we try to walk along this road, can we go far? in that village."

Liu Xing looked in the direction Dogo Aige pointed, and found that there was indeed a small village two or three kilometers away, and there was still cooking smoke rising from this small village. It seems that there should be a family in this small village. .

   Just then, Liu Xing suddenly heard the sound of "quack quack" coming from behind.

   Liu Xing looked back and found a towering tree behind it. The tree was covered with vines as thick as wrists, but these vines were all withered.

   In this big tree, Liu Xing also saw several crows, and these crows were staring at him.

   What makes Liu Xing cold is that these crows have eight slender eyes, and the eyes are blood red.

   What the **** is this.

"Liu Xing, don't worry, these crows look a little ugly, but they are not aggressive at all. When I just tried to give them a stone, they were just scared away." Doge Iger 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, but the specific abilities of the eight-eyed crow and the other mythical creature that it accompanies are unknown. After all There are many mythical creatures that have perished from ancient times to the present."

   Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "So it is, but this illusion seems to be quite interesting. It turned out to be a restoration of an ancient Chinese word."

   "What word?" Dogo Iger said suspiciously.

   Liu Xing cleared his throat and said, "Withered vines, old trees and drowsiness, people on small bridges and flowing waters, ancient roads with west wind and thin horses; when the sun sets in the west, people with broken hearts are in the end of the world."

Fortunately, the word "Tianjingsha. Qiusi" is composed of nouns, so it is quite simple to translate it in the island language, and there is not much deviation, so Dogo Iger still understands this word very easily. mean.

"Yes, there are indeed dead vines, old trees and crows here, and there are also small bridges, flowing water and thatched huts in the space just now, so if we just jumped into the river, then we either encountered a The slender horse on the road, or just saw a man in the sunset?" said Dogo Egger, rubbing his chin.

   "It should be so."

   Liu Xing took another look at the people in the distance, shook his head and said, "But I don't think this illusion is so simple, so let's try to go to that village first."

  Dogo Iger nodded and walked ahead.

   In order to take a shortcut, Dogo and Liu Xing went directly to the village through the harvested fields.

  In Liu Xing's idea, that village may be like a mirage, one step closer to it, and one step away from it, in short, always keep a certain distance from himself, so that it is like a qualified phantom space.

  Unfortunately, the village is getting closer and closer to Liu Xing and Liu Xing, and Liu Xing can vaguely hear a lot of people talking in the village, it looks like there is an event going on.

   Liu Xing and Doge Aigre speeded up their pace.

After    approached, Liu Xing was even more sure what activities were being held in this small village, because Liu Xing could already hear the sound of gongs and drums.

  Since it has been determined that there should be "people" in the village, it is naturally difficult for Liu Xing and Doge Iger to step on other people's fields to take shortcuts, so Liu Xing and Doge Iger went back on the road.

   After walking for a few minutes, Liu Xing and Doge Iger walked outside the small village.

  Looking at the men, women and children in ancient costumes in the village, both Liu Xing and Dogo Egger felt that they were a little out of tune with the scene in front of them. After all, Liu Xing was still wearing a diving suit. . . etc.

   Liu Xing suddenly found that his diving suit had changed into a white robe at some point, while Dogo Iger had changed into a bunt suit.

   "When did we change this dress?" Liu Xing asked Doge Egger with some doubts.

  Dogo Egger shook his head and said with the same doubts: "It should have been just now, because I remember that we hadn't changed our clothes when we entered here, but since this is an illusion space, everything is possible."

   Just as Liu Xing and Doge Iger were standing outside the village talking, an old man walked over to Liu Xing and said, "This gentleman, are you here?"

gentlemen?

   Liu Xing noticed that the old man speaks Chinese, and "Sir" in Chinese was an honorific in ancient times, and was often used to honor learned scholars.

   Liu Xing looked at his new outfit and found that he really looked like a scholar at this time.

So Liu Xing pretended to bow his hands and said with a smile: "This old man, my friend and I passed by here by chance and wanted to ask for a bowl of water, but only when we got close did we realize that Guidi was celebrating something, so for a while I don't know if I should come in or not."

   There is one thing to say, Liu Xing felt that the two ancient sentences he was dragging were a little embarrassing, and the words were incomprehensible.

But the old man didn't care, he took Liu Xing directly into the village, "Sir, please come in, we are celebrating this year's bumper harvest, so we got together to have a flowing water feast after the busy farming season. If you don't mind, please sit down and eat before leaving."

  The kindness is hard to resist, and Liu Xing can only nod his head in yes, and the neglected Doge Iger can only follow Liu Xing into the village.

After    entered the village, Liu Xing discovered that the village was quite large, with thirty or forty houses, and since there were many people in one family in ancient times, there must be hundreds of people in this village.

   And the villagers were very enthusiastic about the arrival of Liu Xing and Doge Iger, and they came to toast after Liu Xing and Doge Iger sat down.

   But still the same sentence, this ancient wine is not good to drink, and the brewing technology of this farmhouse is even more simple, the wine is the so-called muddy wine, Liu Xing can clearly see that there are many floating objects in these wines.

  The vigilant Liu Xing took a closer look. After confirming that these floating objects were only grain residues used for winemaking, not the worms that Liu Xing thought, Liu Xing drank the turbid wine in the cup.

   However, in the face of these enthusiastic ancient people, Liu Xing was still a little worried, after all, this is an illusion space.

  So after drinking two glasses of wine, Liu Xing began to shirk on the grounds that he had to hurry, and began to eat dishes.

  Although the chicken, duck, fish and meat on the table are all kinds of, and they are all real original ecological and pollution-free food, the taste is still a little bad, because there is basically no seasoning in these dishes.

   As a native of Shu, 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?"

  The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "Our village has no official name yet, because our village was just established last year, and our villagers were originally refugees from all over the world."

   Refugees?

   Liu Xing looked at the surrounding villagers in surprise, but he didn't expect that they were still refugees last year.

Because of the underdeveloped agricultural technology in ancient times and the oppression of the peasants by the powerful landlords, many farmers will lose their fields in a disaster year, either become tenant tenants of the powerful landlords, or become refugees and beg everywhere. for a living.

   But even if he becomes a refugee, there are only two possibilities in the end - he dies on the way from his hometown, or he is forcibly taken as a tenant by the landlords in other places.

   All in all, life as a refugee is not easy.

   Just when Liu Xing didn't know what to say, the old man continued: "Thanks to Mr. Lu here is a great man, otherwise we refugees might have died on the side of the road without knowing where."

   Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Yeah, it seems that this Master Lu treats you well, he actually built such a nice house for you... Wait, Master Lu?"

   Liu Xing took a close look at the clothes of the nearby villagers, and judged with the half-baked historical knowledge he had learned from movies, TV dramas and novels, and found that they should be people from the Tang and Song Dynasties.

  So, Liu Xing suddenly remembered a poem.

   "Oh, do you know Master Lu? If I remember correctly, Master Lu is called Lu You Lu Fangguan." The old man said seriously.

   Sure enough.

   Liu Xing frowned, but he did not expect to enter another poem with Doge Egger.

  Lu You, "Visit to Shanxi Village"

  Moxiao’s farmhouse wine is muddy, and guests are left with chickens and pigs in good years.

Mountain darkly, vista.

   Xiao and drums follow the Spring Society, and the clothes are simple and ancient.

   From now on, if I can ride the moon leisurely, I will knock on the door every night with a stick.
