Another Life: Elf Archer

"Your Mingtang style... is so fantasy..."

Nian Nian stood on a mountaintop and looked down. At her feet was a bottomless high cliff mountain stream. The cliff walls were smooth, as if someone had cut them straight and vertically.Every year I hear the faint sound of running water coming from below.

Nian Nian lowered his head and looked down, but the altitude was too high and he couldn't see clearly what was going on at the bottom of the cliff.

She raised her head slightly, no longer paying attention to the bottom of the cliff.

This should also be regarded as a manifestation of the mountain protection barrier?

Nian Nian reached out and pushed forward, encountering an invisible wall, but his sight was completely unobstructed.

Her eyes happened to fall on the huge Bagua City, which was surrounded by four wall-like cliffs. A river like a silver ribbon flowed diagonally from the edge of the city.

From this commanding vantage point, you can have a panoramic view of the city's streets and building layout.

The whole city is circular, with the Tai Chi diagram of yin and yang in the center. Eight main streets radiate outward from the Tai Chi diagram. Each street is the same length. Every distance, there will be a connecting ring road. There are exactly five ring roads in one count.

The first ring is eight streets, the second ring is sixteen streets, the third ring is 32 streets, the fourth ring is 64 streets, and the last five rings is a closing circle, which just coincides with the 64 hexagrams of Zhouyi.

I was bored counting these streets every year, and I also thought about whether I should compare it with Tang Qingli's compass and learn from it.

Nian Nian raised his head, looked into the sky again, and blinked after a while.

"Tang Qingli, why do I feel that...these five islands are slowly rotating?"

Facing the Bagua City in the sky, there are five suspended circular islands, with five colors of light, black, white, green, red and yellow on their edges, forming a five-color ring that just covers the Bagua City.

You can also tell from the colors that these five floating islands correspond to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

"It is indeed moving. Not only the Five Elements Island is moving, but the Bagua City below is also slowly rotating."

Tang Qingli walked to Nian Nian and pointed at the Five Elements Island in the sky to introduce it to Nian Nian.

"The Five Elements Island Ring rotates counterclockwise, and the Bagua City rotates clockwise. It completes one revolution in one day, but people inside it cannot feel this rotation."

"I just have some time left, so I'll introduce you to the layout of our Mingtang."

"Five Elements Island is considered the functional area of ​​the sect. NPCs such as the hall master and deputy hall masters live on it. The Library and the Yanwu Hall Deacon's Office, where you learn skills and receive sect tasks, are also on Five Elements Island."

"After you officially become a guest of Mingtang, you can go to Five Elements Island. All Five Elements Islands are prohibited weapons zones and are very safe."

Nian Nian looked at the Bagua City below and asked, "Then that city below is a place where we can fight?"

"The area within the first ring is not allowed, and the rest of the place is free. So you better not wander around these days, brush the battlefield and get enough contribution points, then join our Mingtang as a guest, and wait until this period of limelight passes. , you are free to do whatever you want.”

Nian Nian looked at the layout of Bagua City and turned to look at Tang Qingli, "Does your sect have a Tongtian Tower?"

"Yes." Tang Qingli pointed the direction to Nian Nian, "Well, it's right there. But the Tongtian Tower in the sect is completely incomparable to the one in Chang'an City. It's just a small wooden building."

Every year, he secretly remembered the direction pointed out by Tang Qingli and looked back at Qi Youfeng.

"Brother Feng, is it almost time?"

The four of them were traveling very fast.Needless to say that Nian Nian was accustomed to activities in the mountains and forests, Qi Youfeng's movement speed was indeed not slow. He followed Nian Nian's footsteps and never called for a rest.

Tang Qingli always looked preoccupied. He was neither in the mood to joke nor rest, so he just walked quietly on his way.Three feet of water makes it difficult to cry alone. When I found that everyone was concentrating on their way, I didn't move my mouth and only moved my legs.

As a result, they arrived at the outskirts of Five Elements Mountain much earlier than Qi Youfeng expected.

Since he came early, he could only wait for that "special moment" that Qi Youfeng said.

Qi Youfeng heard Nian Nian's question, looked up at the sky, nodded and said

"Well, it will be soon."

After that, Qi Youfeng began to ask these people to take their positions, preparing for the arrival of dusk that day.

According to Qi Youfeng, when the sun completely sets, at the moment when the sunlight completely disappears, an equally fleeting door will appear in the barrier where they are.

After they arrived here, Qi Youfeng led them around, carefully examining the stones on the ground as they walked.

Finally, after finding a stone with a maple leaf lightly engraved on it, Qi Youfeng told them about this special moment.

Although he was in a bad mood, Tang Qingli was also shocked by the existence of the back door of this sect that he didn't even know about.

After lowering his head and thinking for a long time, and making a few gestures with the compass, Tang Qingli suddenly realized it and started giving her a lecture under the eyes of Nian Nian who was humbly asking for advice.

Niannian, who had nothing to do, was holding a three-foot water pestle and listening to the lecture, while Qi Youfeng was busy with something in his hands while observing the direction of the sun.

After listening to Tang Qingli talk about a bunch of "strange magic numbers" and "feng shui patterns" in a vague way, Nian Nian finally got distracted and started staring at the Bagua City to count the grids.

Tang Qingli also left class at the right time and went to write calculations with a compass alone.

"This is for you." Qi Youfeng handed Nian Nian a flower crown, which he had just made from local materials.

Nian Nian reluctantly took it and put the flower crown on his head with drooped lips.

"It's not worn properly, and the ears are still hanging out." Tang Qingli interrupted, looking very gloating.

Nian Nian bared her teeth at Tang Qingli and pressed the corolla down hard.

"I'll do it." Qi Youfeng quickly grabbed Nian Nian's hand and rearranged the flower branches that were broken by her, so that the hanging flowers, grass and leaves covered her pointed ears.

"I have to say that Brother Feng's aesthetics are really nothing to say." Tang Qingli commented.

The back door they were going to sneak through was directly connected to the busiest Shanmen Avenue. Nian Nian's clothes were too eye-catching, so Qi Youfeng had to dress him up again.

Only then did I learn that Qi Youfeng, a craftsman, could not only weave small things such as rosette jewelry, but also tailor clothes. He was a popular fashion designer and tailor.

Under the blank gazes of Nian Nian and the other two people, Qi Youfeng grabbed one piece of women's clothing from a special storage bag, and after making a few gestures at Nian Nian, he put a peach red gradient The skirt embroidered with pear blossoms was handed to Nian Nian.

Nian Nian didn't shy away from it. He took it and studied it, and then put it on him directly.

The girl is delicate and pretty, with a face like a peach blossom, and her emerald eyes flow like a pool of spring water.

The peach-colored dress is fresh and bright, which matches her too smart eyes. Just looking at her makes people feel that the spring scenery in this world has a soul.

The few pear blossoms embroidered on the corners of her skirt and the small white nameless flowers hanging from her temples add a bit of girlish melancholy and innocence.

"Sure enough, people rely on their clothes." Tang Qingli circled around the somewhat stiff Nian Nian, "Originally, she had a somewhat delicate appearance, but after being dressed up like this by Brother Feng, she really looked a bit like the beauty rumored to be a disaster. Qualified."

Nian Nian rolled his eyes and immediately destroyed all the beauty.

"What do you think?" Tang Qingli spotted Sanchi Shui, who had never said a word, and patted him on the shoulder.

Sanchishui said in a daze, "I should have brought the camera mirror over and took a picture so that I could show it to Shi Sui."

"...You are really his good brother." Nian Nian praised expressionlessly, while San Chi Shui scratched his head in embarrassment.

Qi Youfeng looked at the sky with a smile and reminded the others, "It's almost time."

"Oh my god, it's finally almost dusk." Nian Nian stretched his body imagelessly and stood on the edge of the cliff according to the position arranged by Qi Youfeng.

It is said that the door that appeared was not wide enough to allow two people to pass through at the same time, and there were four people here, three of them big men.

Finally, after soliciting opinions from several people, Nian Nian was placed in the first row, with Tang Qingli next to her.

Qi Youfeng and San Chishui stood behind them. After all, they were not in a hurry. Even if they failed to enter the barrier in time, it wouldn't be a big deal to take a detour afterwards.

The four people quietly watched the sunset slowly set, and when the last ray of sunlight disappeared——

"go!"

Following Qi Youfeng's low cry, the four of them raised their feet at the same time, passed through a stone door that suddenly appeared, and stepped into the void.
