Chapter 20 Section 19

"Are you awake? You are in pretty good health." The little girl's voice came from the door, and I looked up to see that Sister Hu was standing there in a black armor. She nodded and smiled at me: "We meet again, welcome to Zhishan City!" Looking at this little girl in black armor, I feel a little uncomfortable. This person's role seems to be changing all the time, friend-enemy-friend. I can't figure out why.Moreover, Comrade Xiao Tian, ​​who is the most knowledgeable in our group, actually called her Big Sister Hu just like shopkeeper Sui. Is this person a highly skilled hypnotist, a thousand-year-old dream killer, or some other so-called master in the legend?

Before I could speak, Sister Hu spoke again: "I know you are confused, it may not be polite for me and Mr. Sui to invite you here in this way, but after all, the current world is your world, and Mr. Sui's dynasty It has passed, and he has always had conflicts with you, so it seems difficult to use more legitimate means to ask you, and we don’t have a lot of time to operate these things, so first of all, please forgive me, and I hope you will do your best to help us .” I wondered in my heart, this is my relationship with me! I firmly said: "It is absolutely impossible to cooperate with Shopkeeper Sui. No matter what reason or method you use, I will never agree!"

Sister Hu nodded and smiled: "Nothing is impossible. I am over 60 years old, and I still maintain this appearance, do you think it is possible? And I also know that you once joined forces with Mr. Sui to enter Penglai. With principle, I hope you will make a decision after understanding what happened here." If she didn't say it, we would never have imagined that she is over 60 years old. Is it true or false?But what she said seemed to be quite to the point. I didn't know what to do. I looked at Oda and thought to you to explain. We have worked together for so many years, and I really don't believe you can betray me.

Oda naturally understood what I was thinking, and stood up: "Sister Hu, we are all one-sided, I think it's better to show him around before we talk about anything else." Sister Hu nodded. At this time, Da Zhang suddenly shouted: "Liu Zi! It's worn! Copy the guy!" His yell startled me, and I hurriedly turned to look at him, only to see that Da Zhang had sat up, sweating profusely, this buddy was having a nightmare. Dazhang looked at us, already dumbfounded: "What's the situation? What's the situation? What's the matter?" Xiaotian hurried over to persuade him again, fed Dazhang to drink black water, and Sister Hu persuaded him again, and Dazhang calmed down.

Sister Hu made a gesture of invitation: "Both, come on, let's visit this place." Dazhang and I nodded to each other, it seems that we are already in the ancient city in the mirage, since we are here, we will be safe, go out first and have a look. Dazhang and I helped each other out of the room. Dazhang kept complaining: "I said ancestor, whoever built this place in your place can't make this door higher, and you don't need to be so exaggerated by cutting corners. Look at your door, is it 1.5 meters high? Don't you want to make things difficult for me?"

Sister Hu wasn't angry, but just replied lightly: "Hehe, you'll understand after you go out and have a look." Rather than saying that they walked out of the house at that time, it is more appropriate to say that they drilled out. The buildings in this place are too low. When we reached the city, it was already late at night, and there were no people on the street.The scale of this city is small, and the architectural style is probably the style of the Xia and Shang Dynasties according to Oda, but some buildings from other eras are mixed in it. It can be said that this place is almost the epitome of my country's architectural history.If it is strange to be in such a place in 1965, there is something even more strange about the whole city, that is, all the buildings are one size smaller than the buildings in which ordinary people live, and the whole city is more like A huge model!Also, the black mandala flowers full of death breath are almost everywhere. It is no exaggeration to say that this city is built in the black ocean of black mandala flowers!

I looked up, and the black mountain pass was directly above us. This place was actually in a huge crater, but I had never heard of such a huge volcano in Daba Mountain. I looked at Sister Hu: "What is this place? Why is it so weird?" "Perfect City! This is the fortress of our ancestors! It's a castle! It's the boundary between the world and hell! And we are the defenders of this boundary!" My eyes widened: "Can you explain clearly?" At this time, a group of night patrol soldiers walked past us, there were men and women, but they all looked like children.All of them were wearing black armor, each holding a spear and black feather arrows on their backs, walking slowly in front of us.

"Miss Hu!" "Well! Pay more attention, it is the most unstable period recently, so be careful!" They greet each other. Da Zhang stabbed me from behind: "Liu Zi, are you sure we are awake?" "uncertain!" Looking at the group of children in black armor in front of me, I can only answer him in this way. Sister Hu saw our doubts and replied: "This is a relatively closed space. Since our ancestors were placed here, we can only feed on these black flowers. First of all, this flower There are indeed strange things, one of which is that after our body has developed to a certain extent, it stops growing and remains like a child all year round. Almost all the land in this place is planted with such flowers, and we have no more more land to plant other crops, and no one in the whole city can go out except me, so it has created the current state. You don’t have to be surprised, we are not some thousand-year-old goblins, everyone’s normal life span is the same as yours of."

"Hmm!" Xiaotian continued, "This is the result of different evolutions of species caused by a relatively closed environment. This place has had almost no contact with the outside world for thousands of years. In the history of human evolution, these people can say is a branch that evolved independently." "Then I don't understand. Why do you live here? Why don't you go out? You have a way to go out, and no one restricts your movement. You have lived here for thousands of years. Don't you know the people outside the mountains? Change?" I still don't understand.

"Every generation of us will have people like me going out to connect with the world outside the mountain, so we are also clear about history. Everyone knows that the world outside the mountain is wonderful. It's not that we don't want to go out, but we can't go out!" "Ah?" Da Zhang was confused for a long time, "Is there gold here? You have lived here for so long, you should have dug it." "There's hell here! It's our destiny to guard it until the day this whole thing ends." I wiped my forehead: "I don't understand, what exactly are you guarding?"

Sister Hu turned her head to me: "We are guarding the secrets and painstaking efforts of our ancestors. Follow me." Following her, we came to the center of the city, which seemed to be the Yamen. The gatekeeper opened the entrance to a cellar for us, which was also a narrow road. Walking to the bottom of the cellar, he found coiled rhizomes everywhere, and shopkeeper Sui was entangled in the rhizomes with a pale face. Sister Hu glanced at us: "Go and help Mr. Sui down, I think he has reached his limit." Da Zhang leaned closer to my ear: "Liu Zi, it's a good chance, let's do it!" I glared at him: "Get out, I don't know who the enemy is now, and if an old monster like Penglai comes out, no one will stand up!" "Oh, yes! It seems that we have to continue to cooperate." The two of us helped shopkeeper Sui down, and the old gentleman gave us a weak look: "Little brat, it's a good time to start. There is no such shop after this village!"
