Chapter 30 Chapter 29 Mirage

"What's wrong with Ling Ning?" William was the most impatient.Although he and Ling Ning have no relationship between men and women, but after getting along these days, they are no worse than ordinary siblings. "She—" Chu Feng felt cold sweat dripping from his forehead. If it was really that thing, Ling Ning would have no way out. "What a big three-legged toad!" Xilin exclaimed, making everyone suddenly realize that it was not a huge three-legged toad. "Hey, what you said is really true. Is it the legendary golden toad?" William is no longer the fool who knew nothing when he just came back from the United States.

"That's right, it should be Wangcai!" Chu Feng affirmed. "What? Wangcai?" Although William is a Chinese American, he came from a Chinese merchant family. He doesn't know anything else, but he is very clear about "Wangcai". His family has this. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a fairy named Liu Hai (Note: Liu Hai, whose real name is Cao, character Ying, and name Haichanzi, was born in Shaanxi in the Five Dynasties of Later Liang. Nanzong), he subdued demons and eliminated monsters to eliminate harm for the people, and he subdued many goblins.One of the elves, who was not too bad-hearted, was beaten back to his original shape by Liu Hai, and it turned out to be a three-legged toad.This toad followed Liu Hai in the later days to help others, and Liu Hai liked to give money to some poor people. This three-legged toad also has the ability to make people rich, so later generations put three-legged toads in the house , the toad as a prosperous beast.It is said that golden toads like to live in treasured places, and wherever three-legged toads live, there are treasures underground, which is the principle of using toads in Feng Shui.Therefore, in some places among the people, this thing is directly called "Wangcai".

"Look at the circular symbol with holes on its back, does it look like an ancient copper coin?" William asked Xilin and others. The two lamas still lowered their eyes slightly, as if they didn't care about anything; Sangbu looked a little lost since Chu Feng led him into the team, and didn't say a word; only Xilin and Bingbu stared at the monster, Nodding endlessly. "Brother Chu, it seems that it is indeed a divine beast. Why did you say that Miss Ling Ning was in danger the moment you saw it?" William felt that Wangcai had a good reputation. Their Chinese merchant family, which family did not worship such a pious beast? Only a three-legged golden toad?Of course, the size of the one in front of me is much larger than the one enshrined in ordinary homes, and it is real, not a stone sculpture or clay sculpture.However, how could the "Wangcai" with such a good reputation harm human beings?

"Why not? The so-called 'Wangcai' is far-fetched by future generations. It is even said in the myth that it was originally a monster, and it did good things after being subdued by immortals. Regardless of whether the fairy tales are nonsense, Only one, where the three-legged golden toad is, there must be a rare treasure in the ground. Just imagine, from the perspective of human greed, what will happen? Why can’t we find this species in the whole world today? Don’t talk to I said the one in front of me, where we are now, the time and space are beyond your imagination!" When Chu Feng said "Human nature is greedy", the two lamas were already whispering the Buddha's name in Tibetan.William was not stupid. Even if he hadn't seen the family struggle for power, he had heard his father say a lot about it, so he quickly understood that only Xilin had been ignorant.

"So, if someone approaches it, it will definitely attack?" William also began to worry about Ling Ning. "That's right. Moreover, although the myth is just a myth, it is true. With the characteristics of 'prosperous wealth', there is no treasure, and its range of activities must be at the center of the formation. There, it is far away from us now. There is still a long way to go, I am afraid that by the time we arrive, Ling Ning will have already..." Although he was very reluctant to admit it, Chu Feng still made such a guess.From the first moment he saw that guy, he had an ominous premonition.

"Anyway, we have to try, don't we?" Sambu finally came to his senses.He stared at the huge three-legged golden toad whose figure was gradually fading away, with firm eyes, "The mistakes I made, what I need now is not to justify, but to try my best to make up for it. Ling Ning, I must save her back." Sang Bu secretly swears in his heart. Because of the urgency of time, Chu Feng no longer explained the route to everyone, but only took the lead and asked everyone to follow in his footsteps. The sand has gradually become hot to the feet, and the "sun" above the head seems to be many times more powerful than the normal sun. After walking not far, several people are hot and tired, almost untenable.

Chu Feng didn't stop, and climbed up the sandy ridge of a sand dune.Others have seen all kinds of peculiarities since entering the battle, and they dare not move around at all, they only dare to walk one by one following Chu Feng's footprints, which caused—although there are many people, the footprints in the sand look It looked like there was only one person. As he was walking, Chu Feng suddenly felt that his toes touched a hard object. He bent down to pick it up and saw that it was a stone arrowhead.He looked up and looked around, but what he saw was endless undulating yellow sand, without any traces of human existence or life. Strange, how did this thing appear here?

"What's wrong?" Sangbu was the closest behind him, and he leaned over to take a look, "Stone arrowhead! What a delicate murder weapon!" Sambu is right to say so.This stone arrowhead is indeed very delicately made. It is an arrowhead with three sides and three edges, a sharp point and three grooves.Not to mention the sharpness of the arrow, the three ribs and the curved arrow surface formed by them have a standard arc that conforms to modern aerodynamics and look perfect.In particular, the three ridges are not single ridges, and there are two grooves in the middle composed of sharp ridges.Experienced hunters know that if it is not a fatal vital part, after shooting the prey with an arrow, many rough-skinned and thick-skinned prey will be more ferocious after being injured; but it is different with this kind of arrow. It can cause the prey's blood vessels to rupture and blood to flow out continuously.No matter how tough the prey is, once it is shot by this kind of arrow, as long as the hunter persists long enough, the prey can be consumed to death.

As the most professional shooter and hunter here, Xilin couldn't help "tsk tsk" after seeing this arrow. Most of the above points are retelling what Ama said when he taught him to hunt. "What's the matter with this arrow? Could it be that there are still humans living in this ghost place?" After listening to Xilin's long speech, it was rare for William not to interrupt in the middle, but to ask Chu Feng for advice after he finished speaking. "There must have been in the past, but not necessarily now. You know, this big formation was set up by people, and it's not too inconceivable that there are traces of human activities here!" Chu Feng rushed in anxiously, answering William's question, While not idle, he wrote and drew on the ground.

"This arrow seems a little too smooth!" Sambu, who hadn't said much, suddenly said to the stone arrow. "What do you mean?" Chu Feng's heart moved when he heard this. "If it has been here for a long time, it seems that the triangular surface should not be so smooth!" Sambu thought while stroking the smooth surface of the arrow like stroking the skin of a lover. "That's right, this is a desert! If it has been here for thousands of years, there must be some traces of wind and sand!" William also figured it out, "But, is it buried too deep, so..."

"No, I stepped on it just now, and it is on the surface of the sand layer." Chu Feng said affirmatively, "Could it be that there are really other people here?" "Brother Chu, take a look at this." William remembered that he had seen the introduction of the unearthed weapons of Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Warriors and Horses. It also said that as early as the Warring States Period in the Central Plains, Qin State had mastered a technology-mass-produced shapes that fit the modern atmosphere. Kinetic bronze arrows.Surprisingly, every arrow is very standard, as if it was produced by a machine.William has been studying very hard recently. He cut and pasted a lot of articles on ancient history that he is interested in. Among them is this one. There is a photo of a bronze arrowhead on it. Except for the material, it looks almost exactly the same as this stone arrowhead. . "That's right, these two arrows are very similar." After reading the scrapbook, Chu Feng couldn't help nodding his head in agreement with what William said, "Many incredible things happened during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods in China. Crossbow', its shape is almost the same as the modern Browning pistol; there is also the unearthed Goujian sword of the king of Yue. In order to prevent rust, the body of the sword actually uses chromium, which was discovered by Western scholars in the 20th century. These are completely inconsistent with the production technology at that time We still can't explain it scientifically." "This is the evidence that prehistoric civilization existed and has been affecting the progress of our civilization!" Sambu was suddenly emotional, and his tone was a little irritable, "Evidence abounds. Many people not only blinded their eyes, blocked their ears, "I can't hear, I can't see", and beat people who can hear and see to death with a stick! This is really ridiculous! I just don't want to be reconciled, as long as I find out what makes them pretend to be deaf and dumb The evidence, what do those guys do?" After speaking, he sneered. Chu Feng was originally very resentful towards him, but seeing him like this now, he understands a little bit.Presumably, the school disputes that exist anywhere in the country have also happened to Sambu. He has had a hard time recently! It's just that if you understand it, you understand that Chu Feng is still not ready to forgive him for his actions that easily put Ling Ning in danger. "It shouldn't be too long since this arrow fell here." Xilin's judgment came from his special sense of arrows. He held the stone arrow in his hand, and said after a while, "It's been abandoned here at most. Only three days." "Three days? Could it be that guy Tang Mo?" William was surprised, but he didn't see Tang Mo with a bow and arrow. "It shouldn't be him. There must be someone else here." "Look!" Bingbu was very impatient to hear what they said that he couldn't understand a word, and he didn't want to disturb the two lamas, so he could only look around when no one paid attention to them.Looking at it this way, I can really see some tricks. "There are really, really people over there!" Xilin's eyes were sharp, and he stuttered a little when he saw the rising smoke from the kitchen. Everyone else looked over there, in a trance, there was a feeling of stagnation in time and space: the sand and mist jumped on the rolling sand dunes, such as fiery red willows, golden populus euphratica, dancing reeds, colorful shrubs, in the sand and mist The back is looming.There are also two twists and turns of smoke as thin as silk willows, slowly rising into the sky, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the smoke from cooking in the northern rural areas. The most amazing thing is that a big black horse and a petite rider who is also in black on its back are galloping in the sand and mist.Since he was walking in the opposite direction to everyone, everyone couldn't see his face clearly for a while. But, very soon, he reined in the horse abruptly, and the horse's head turned to his left hand, and he turned his head and looked right at this side. Only then did everyone see clearly that there was a layer of black veil on his face. "What are you doing, you're still wearing a mask in this place where nothing shits like shit!" William had already seen that the rider on the horse was 100% female, so he was full of expectations for his appearance, and kept saying in his heart, "Turn back, come back!" Turn around", he didn't expect that people really turned around and covered their veils, which made him even more itchy. "Not good! Let's go!" Chu Feng saw the man glance to this side, and then there was a slight pause, and immediately realized that this man was probably not a mirage, his face changed, and he called everyone to leave quickly. It's a pity that here, you can't take a wrong step, and you can't go as fast as someone else's galloping horse. "Da, da, da!" Soon, the rider rushed over.She has superb skills in controlling horses, and she was about to bump into Chu Feng with her horse and her horse, but with a sound of "Woo--", her horse's head stopped firmly in front of Chu Feng! "..." "Ah, what did she say?" "I don't know? Brother Chu, do you understand?" "I don't understand either!" Chu Feng stared at the other party and shook his head slowly.There are people in this weird place, which is beyond his cognition, and what is even more strange is that he has never heard of the language spoken by the other party.As a paleographer, although he is not proficient in all modern languages, he can understand most of the common languages.Even if he can't understand some small languages, he can roughly judge which language family the other party's language comes from through the pronunciation of the other party, but he can't even judge what the person in front of him is saying. The rider didn't wait for everyone's answer, and didn't speak anymore. He shook the rein with one hand, turned the horse's head and ran back. A beautiful face appeared in front of everyone. It was an indescribable beauty: at first glance, this woman was not too old, with the innocence of a girl, but upon closer inspection, one would find that there was an inexplicable mature charm about her.Her skin is very white, as white as the white porcelain fired in the official kiln of the Song Dynasty, not only white, but also lustrous and charming.When she faced the crowd just now, everyone felt that she seemed to have a pair of light blue eyes, but now her eyes are slightly closed due to the wind and sand, but from this angle, those long and slightly curled eyelashes are not there. It kept trembling and trembling, trembling so that people's hearts itch. "Ah——" She seemed to realize that her veil was blown away by the wind, and she let out an exclamation. She used to hold the rein with both hands, but now she used one hand to cover her face, and it seemed that she was struggling to control the horse with the other hand. Swinging the horse away, looking at her delicate body, it seemed that she might fall off the horse at any time.Here, someone can't stand it any longer. "Let's go there?" William was fascinated by this woman at the first sight. If Chu Feng hadn't firmly grabbed his hand, he would have run over to "save the beauty" long ago! "No!" Chu Feng refused.Right now, he and others have entered a magical formation space, he kept reminding himself in his heart.It is too weird that there are indigenous residents here. "This place should be in the formation of Qimen Dunjia. How could there be indigenous people? Isn't this too outrageous?" "But that's obviously..." William still wanted to die. "Don't forget the Ling Ning we saw just now!" Chu Feng decided to use the phantom just now to fool them.In fact, he knows in his heart that what everyone sees like "seeing flowers in a fog" is definitely not a phantom.If time permits, he will also go over to investigate, but unfortunately, right now, nothing is as important as quickly rescuing Ling Ning. "You mean, this is also a mirage?" Xilin felt that he seemed to have seen all the mirages he could see in his lifetime in the past few days. "Similar!" Chu Feng ignored the others and concentrated on calculating the position.This woman's appearance was too strange, if it was delayed any longer, they would all be trapped here to death.
