Chapter 164 Time Travel Drama
Baidi City, Guanmiao Tuojiang River.
It was late at night, and everything was quiet except for the sound of the wind mixed with the falling rain.
The rain fell into the river, but there were not many ripples. In the distance, you could see the bronze city standing on the river bed.
There was a drought last year, and the entire river dried up. Even if it rained for four consecutive days, it could not moisten the dry land, leaving only small puddles and muddy soil.
"Samson, how many years have we not seen." Li Xiong, or Norton, looked up at the sky.
A behemoth descended from the sky, with the sound of howling wind. Its dark scales spread out, and it approached the figure on the shore as if in joy.
"Brother, what is going on with us?" behind Li Xiong, a young boy asked.
The little boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was wearing simple white clothes. He had black hair that fell straight to his waist. He had delicate features and a neutral appearance. He looked like he was easy to bully.
"I don't know, Constantine." Norton stretched out his hand, and Samson bowed his head obediently, "We should be dead."
"Then what should we do, brother?" Constantine took a step forward and grabbed Norton's clothes. His golden pupils were timid, "They... are coming."
Norton gently stroked Constantine's head and held his hand. He didn't say a word, but looked at his face quietly and made eye contact with him to soothe his inner uneasiness.
Lu Mingfei hid on a branch, holding his breath and concentrating, frowning at the troops rustling by below.
They uniformly wore the costumes of the Nanman ethnic minorities, covered their heads and faces, and moved forward without saying a word.
Each one carries a longbow on his back and a machete on his waist.
This turned out to be a team composed entirely of archers.
You know, ancient archers were the best among the best.
Although games and novels often describe archers as weak girls with thin waists and thin hands, the actual situation is completely opposite. Those who can use bows are strong men.
Common war bows after the Song Dynasty include eight buckets, one stone, and one stone and two.
In modern units, it is almost equivalent to a 105-pound, 130-pound, or 150-pound bow, and 100 pounds is approximately equal to 45 kilograms.
It is recorded in "Tiangong Kaiwu" of the Ming Dynasty that "when making a bow, the strength of human power is considered as the priority. The upper force is one hundred and twenty kilograms. If it exceeds this, it is the force of a tiger, and it is not counted. The middle force is reduced by two or three tenths. It's half as strong."
This means that the upper force is 120 kilograms, the middle force is about 90 kilograms, and the lower force is about 60 kilograms. One kilogram in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to 1.2 kilograms today. It can be seen from this that archers are a group of strong men with more hair on their chests than their hair, with strong backs and strong waists. That's the norm.
Archers are scarce resources and not something that ordinary people can do.
The arrow baskets behind these people all contained long bows and arrows. They were not the small ones in the TV series, but big, thick and long. Lu Mingfei could vaguely see the heads of the arrows, which turned out to be shovel-shaped arrows.
This kind of arrow is specially used to target unarmored targets, and those who hit it will be killed immediately.
A little visual inspection showed that hundreds of people had passed through this forest path. They were moving in a straight line. The troops at the front were holding mo knives and cutting bushes in front to clear the way. It seemed that there was something urgent.
Naturally, a group of people armed with broad swords and long bows would not be visiting other people's homes. It was late at night and the spring rain blocked the view. Today was a very suitable day for a night attack.
There is only one nearby city - Baidi City.
From this point of view, these guys were the team sent by Liu Xiu to destroy Gongsun Shu.
The ancients always liked to call mixed-race people "Southern Barbarians" and "Barbarians". Are these people wearing Southern Barbarian costumes hinting that they are mixed-races?
Norton and Constantine, probably today
Lu Mingfei carefully stayed away from this secret army and went to the highest cliff to look out.
His eyes had become accustomed to the light in the darkness, and he had a good view from a high place. He could see Baidi City standing on the island and the Bronze Palace in the distance.
Baidi City was originally surrounded by rivers. This city was a typical military fortress, easy to defend and difficult to attack. But now that the river has dried up, it can be entered from the river bed on foot.
Lu Mingfei listened to the crackling sound of branches being stepped on. The sound came from all directions. There were many people hiding in this dense forest, and it seemed like a well-trained army was going to attack the city.
At this point in time, Liu Xiu had proclaimed himself emperor and basically unified the east of China. The next step was the Western Expedition.
In order to unify, the White Emperor Gongsun Shu was the leader of the crusade.
Lu Mingfei's goals did not conflict with these people's. He wanted to get the brass pot, and these people wanted to attack the city.
He looked at the city in the distance, and suddenly his ears trembled slightly. He looked sideways, took out the wedge pill, hid in the shadow of the rock, and took ghostly and silent steps.
This is a desolate cliff with no dense forest to cover it, and only a few large rocks absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.
The rain made the ground wet, and it was slippery with moss when you stepped on it. A burly figure poked its head out from under the cliff, but it was not bulky at all. It looked like a nimble monkey, and it climbed up the cliff in a few steps.
His eyes were as golden as lava, he was nearly two meters tall, and he had iron-gray semi-long hair.
Lu Mingfei let go of his hand, inserted the knife into the scabbard, and walked out of the shadows.
The man turned around suddenly and put on a Taekwondo stance, but when he saw Lu Mingfei's face, he let out a strange cry: "Why is it you!"
"Why are you here?" Fingel's tense muscles slumped and he let out a long breath.
"I still want to ask you." Lu Mingfei said, "Why are you here."
"I don't know." Fingel scratched his head: "I was watching a TV series in the hotel. I just saw Grandma Rong pricking crape myrtle. Suddenly, the silver needle emitted a strange light, which made me unable to open my eyes. Once again When I opened my eyes, I was in the woods."
"There are a lot of people down there." Fingel shrugged: "I see they are all wearing ancient costumes. Have we traveled through time? Are we being sucked into the TV?"
"It's not like I was sucked into the TV." Lu Mingfei sighed, "But...how to put it, it's pretty much what you think, it's just time travel."
"We really traveled through time!" Fingel whistled: "Then can we still go back? If we can't go back, wouldn't it be like staying in ancient times with three wives and four concubines? I heard that you ancient Chinese people had many wives. I can’t even count them on my fingers, that’s not so cool.”
"You think too much. If you have money, you can have three wives and four concubines. If you don't have money, you can't even get a wife."
"We are modern people. There are so many ways to make money, including steelmaking, papermaking, soap and glass."
"That's what I said, but do you think we can do this?" Lu Mingfei patted Fingel on the shoulder.
Lu Mingfei looked at Baidi City in the distance, feeling a little hesitant.
He wondered whether to tell Fingel the truth.
Lu Mingze said that he had arranged a partner for him, and it seemed that it was Fingel.
An hour's time, just like last time, everything should return to its original state when the time is up.
Renata brought out her bear Zorro and the sled dogs from Black Swan Harbor, so it seemed that if he could find the brass can, Old Tang could be resurrected.
Just leave Fingel here and let him wait for an hour. With his rough skin and thick flesh, he will be exposed to rain and wind, and nothing will happen to him.
Lu Mingfei didn't like to involve irrelevant people, but Fingel was not an irrelevant person. Like himself, he was Old Tang's friend.
In fact, Lu Mingfei could tell that although Fingel pretended to be fine, he never opened CS again after Old Tang left.
The same goes for Lu Mingfei. Both of them tacitly went online to find other games to play.
The bank card was placed on the table. Lu Mingfei rarely took care of it, but the surface of the card was always clean and not covered with dust.
Lu Mingfei only told Fingel about this card, and the college has not asked them about this card yet. They all have a tacit understanding not to report it to the college.
After all, if the academy knew about it, this card would probably be taken away as an "important research item."
Lu Mingfei didn't know how much Fingel was relieved about Old Tang's death, but he certainly wasn't completely relieved.
"Don't be afraid of what I'm going to say next." Lu Mingfei took a deep breath.
"Afraid? What am I afraid of?" Fingel said.
"That's Baidi City over there." Lu Mingfei pointed to the city in the distance and said.
"I know." Fingel patted his chest, "I checked the guide online before coming here. Although it is a bit different from the modern Baidi City, you can still recognize it if you look carefully."
"The era we are living in now is the Han Dynasty two thousand years ago."
"You know all this? Did you recognize those soldiers' equipment? I can only tell that they are the clothes of ancient people."
"Norton and Constantine are in Baidi City. On the other side of the riverbed is Norton's Bronze City. You don't know this yet. I once came to China to implement the 'Kuimen' plan and captured the Bronze City from the Bronze City." Constantine’s eggs are brought back to the academy.”
"Why are you telling me this? Isn't this a secret mission?" Fingel narrowed his eyes.
"Now, a intact egg is in Baidi City. If the egg is found within an hour, Old Tang can be resurrected." Lu Mingfei did not answer Fingel's question, but said to himself: "We will go back in an hour, and everything will return to its original position. You will appear on the bed in the hotel and continue to watch Grandma Rong piercing Ziwei. What I mean is that I am going to Baidi City to find eggs. You can wait here. An hour."
"Looking for eggs? Are you crazy?" Fingel came over and grabbed Lu Mingfei's shoulders: "That's the Dragon King! The King of Bronze and Fire! You want to resurrect him!"
"Old Tang is my friend." Lu Mingfei clawed at Fingel's claws. "Before I came to Kassel, he taught me sentence by sentence how to deal with the interviewer in English, and he made video corrections for several nights. My pronunciation, I played a game with him over the summer and played in his rental house for 5 days before going to the Chicago train station.
He came to pick me up at the New York airport and took me on a Greyhound ride on the highway. That night he even treated me to a steak. After that, he went to an Internet cafe in Chinatown and stayed up all night. We sat together in a rental house. I slept until the afternoon. These are the things I have seen and experienced. "
"Norton and Old Tang are not the same person!"
"I don't know if that's true, but Norton, who regained his memory, chose to commit suicide." Lu Mingfei said: "He could obviously devour everyone with flames, but he didn't. Do you know? Before he died, he asked me to hug him. I I did as I was told, thinking he would come back, but he pushed me away again and stabbed his own chest with his own sharp blade.
Everyone thought I had penetrated the Dragon King's heart with a wedge pill and regarded me as a hero, but I didn't want to be a hero. I just wanted nothing to happen that Friday. The three of us rented a car and drove on the mountain road. Go to downtown Chicago, then go to a high-end restaurant to eat pasta, and then go to an Internet cafe to have fun. "
"." Fingel was silent.
Lu Mingfei walked to the edge of the cliff without looking back, and stretched out his left hand equipped with a magic prosthetic hand. "Don't worry, you will be able to go back in an hour. Just treat it as a strange dream."
"Wait a minute." Fingel's whole aura suddenly changed, like a sharp blade being drawn out of its sheath, exuding a compelling sharp aura, "When a person dies, he is dead. Why are you so sure that you can get the egg?" Can he be resurrected?"
"I'm not sure, but if there was such an opportunity in front of you, would you give up?" Lu Mingfei said.
"Resurrection." Fingel looked at his right hand.
In the past, this hand would always hold the other hand tightly and would not let go until it became sweaty.
He suddenly laughed, "Resurrection, hahaha, the dead are resurrected. This is really the funniest joke I have ever heard."
"Hey, do you really believe that you can resurrect the dead, even if he doesn't even have a body?" Fingel's eyes were burning with hot flames, and bright golden lava flowed under his eyes.
"I believe it." Lu Mingfei replied.
Fingel stepped forward and stood side by side with Lu Mingfei, exuding some strong confidence: "Let's go together to find things. The two of us will definitely be more efficient, but you have to promise me one thing. If I I found the egg for you, and Old Tang is really resurrected, you must tell me how you resurrected Old Tang."
"Is there anyone you want to see again? Is she dead?" Lu Mingfei looked sideways at this lion-like man.
"Dead, but I think about her every day and night." Fingel said: "Although I am only an 'F' class, there is still no problem in helping our 'S'."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you are an 'F', then Caesar will have to demote you to a 'G'."
"It's unfair. How dare I compete with Caesar? If Caesar wants to beat me, I will be out within a minute."
"Indeed, it's just a matter of winning."
"When did you figure it out?"
"On the first day we met at the station, I thought Kassel was full of tough guys like you."
"So early? I think I disguised myself pretty well."
“You can fool people with your appearance, but you can’t fool people with your inner attitude.”
"Are you a martial arts master, Chinese Kung Fu?"
"This is an experience. The more you see it, the more you will understand it."
"Then what do you think of my acting skills?"
"Is that acting? I thought you were a loser in life."
"Are you praising me or hurting me?"
"Of course I'm complimenting you."
