Another Life: Elf Archer

Three days later, Chang'an.

An ordinary gray carriage was parked in the carriage stall in front of the city gate. As the coachman said, "Your Majesty, here we are," the curtain of the carriage swung outwards, and Nian Nian jumped out with one step, and then his feet weakened. Almost fell to the ground.

The sound insulation of that curtain was so excellent that when Nian Nian popped out, it was like jumping into a bomb that had just exploded, and she was thrown back to the carriage with a "bang".

Nian Nian's first reaction was to climb back into the carriage. Unexpectedly, the coachman had already driven the carriage into the shed ruthlessly and quickly, leaving only a bewildered young boy behind Nian Nian.

Nian Nian covered her ears tightly with both hands, turned around and looked at the people inside and outside the city gate, and began a fierce psychological struggle whether to enter the city, whether to enter the city, or whether to enter the city.

Nian Nian felt that she had seen more people in these few seconds than she had seen in the game in the previous three years combined.

"Nian Nian, are you okay?" Su Ze came to Nian Nian's side and looked at Nian Nian's tightened brows and protruding veins on his forehead with concern.

Although the voice was a little softer, Nian Nian desperately found that she still heard Su Ze's words, but she still understood Su Ze's meaning by reading the mouth movements, just because the people around her were loud and loud, just like rough Grinding against Nian Nian's eardrums like grains of sandpaper, grinding all sounds, loud or small, into a sharp rustling sound, forcing several nerves in her brain to clump together.

Nian Nian was not one to show off. He immediately nodded to Su Ze and said, "It's too noisy, my ears can't stand it."

"Ah" Su Ze was really anxious, "What should I do? Are earplugs useful? Do you have earplugs?"

Su Ze spinning in circles gave Nian Nian a headache even more. The nerves that were still knotted just now were led by Su Ze through countless circles.

Nian Nian was helpless, so he first put on the hood of his cloak to block out the noise a little, and then hid in a place with fewer pedestrians. He wanted to take some time to get used to it, or at least sort out his suddenly tense nerves.

"Ozawa, Niannian, it turns out you are here."

Nian Nian, who was squatting by the carport with her head down in meditation, suddenly received such a sentence. At the same time, a black shadow floated above her head. She looked up and saw someone familiar.

Not an acquaintance too familiar.

"Elder Brother" Su Ze jumped three feet high and hung on King Chu Ba. He pulled on his monk's robe and tried to pull it off, "Quickly pull two strips of cloth for me."

King Chu Ba's monk's robe was simple, and it was wrapped in a layer of soap-colored fabric. When Su Ze pulled it left and right, it immediately exposed the bronze chest underneath, which made Su Ze's fair skin even more dazzling. .

Nian Ni shrank back, trying not to let himself become the focus of attention here and now.

She lowered her head and gritted her teeth. At risk of death, she gave up on sorting out the source of the sound and listened intently.

The suppressed screams of the girls, the whispers of men and women, and various expressions such as "a perfect match", "too impatient", "flower monk" and "abstinence type" were all accepted by Nian Nian, with pain and satisfaction.

Although King Chu Ba didn't have the good ear that Nian Nian had, he could tell what these boring people were thinking just by looking at the pedestrians around him who suddenly took five steps back and the evasive glances of bystanders.

If he were one of those people, he wouldn't mind being bored and flirting for a while, but now

Chu Bawang picked up Su Ze, lifted him into the air and shook him, saying loudly, "Junior brother, long time no see, why are you pulling my clothes?"

"Senior Brother and Junior Brother" and "Love and Love" stole a glance at King Chu Ba every year. I wonder if this person noticed that his defense actually triggered a greater wave of discussion.

"I want some cloth balls to make earplugs." Su Ze said a little helplessly with his limbs drooping.

"Earplugs" Chu Bawang lowered his head, and his eyes happened to meet the sneaking glance of Nian Nian.

Nian Nian smiled sheepishly, pointed to his ears, and held the brim of his hat tightly, as if he was a little afraid of the environment at this time.

King Chu Ba immediately understood Nian Nian's situation, put down Su Ze, took out two rice-sized dumplings from his sleeves, knelt down and handed them to Nian Nian.

Nian Nian looked at the two beige dough balls in King Chu Ba's hand and was puzzled for a moment.

"There are many people in Chang'an recently, and there are more people who find it noisy. Players can still go offline or go to other places to hide and be quiet. These aborigines are a little miserable. This is something Tongtian Tower recently distributed to the people. It will be more comfortable for their ears. "

Nian Nian thanked him gratefully, took it and stuffed it into his ears. He instantly felt relaxed, leaned against the fence of the carport behind him, and rubbed his temples.

This earplug is indeed a good thing, and Nian Nian, who is sensitive to sound, immediately understood how it works.

It is like a sound step regulator. The sound within three meters from Nian Nian's body is very clear. After three meters, the volume decreases sharply. Then, with 50 meters as a step, the volume decreases significantly in a step-like manner. This is a well-proportioned volume distribution. Ji Niannian could do it on her own, but this thing obviously helped her save a lot of effort and time, as well as the duration of the headache.

"The soundproofing of this thing will be better at night. After all, it is prepared for the rest of the people." King Chu Ba let out a sigh of relief when he saw Nian Nian, knowing that she had been rescued, he straightened up and said with a grin.

Nian Nian immediately jumped up and down, not caring that the three of them were still the center of attention. He bowed with a smile and shouted, "Thank you, senior brother, for saving me from the fire and water."

King Chu Ba held the back of Su Ze's neck, turned him around, and signaled to Nian Nian, "Little thing, let's go, let's go to the city and go home."

Every year, I can’t help but wonder, “Where did you get these earplugs?”

"Tongtian Tower has been distributed to the people for free since yesterday, and today we basically only have one pair per person."

"Then what did you use if you gave it to me?" Nian Nian quickly picked out his ears.

"Don't, don't, I don't need it." King Chu Ba stopped him quickly. "I just picked up a pair when I was passing by Tongtian Tower and thought I might need them. Most of the players just wanted to have fun. We felt fine. It was noisy everywhere anyway. of."

"I heard that there are many people in Chang'an, but I didn't expect so many." Nian Nian sighed as he looked at the dark crowd in front of him.

"Alas, there are more people, more soldiers, more chariots and horses, and more things to do." King Chu Ba also sighed.

"So how's your situation going?"

"Just wait, I guess I won't have any follow-up news until the public has finished selecting the person." King Chu Ba was helpless. If something hadn't happened, he wouldn't have stayed in Chang'an City.

Before returning to Chang'an, Niannian contacted Jiang Jinse and others. Jiang Jinse told her that King Chu Ba had something to do in the city recently and that he could go pick her up and take Su Ze away.

Jiang Jinse, who was far away in the south, knew that Niannian was going to participate in the selection of caravan members. He didn't ask her why. He just told her to be careful in everything and not to force herself if things couldn't be done. She also told Niannian that she was in the Jiang family's childhood. The hospital left a birthday gift for every year, which was a belated blessing.

Nian Nian was momentarily moved by Simil's crazy hints and threats, which strengthened her determination to complete this crazy task.

She had already lost part of her memory, and she didn't want to lose more, especially if she would forget what she had forgotten.

"Then which way will you go with the caravan?"

King Chu Ba was born in Shaolin, and together with more than [-] other monks, he was assigned to protect the Buddhist scripture master. He was originally supposed to stay in Shaolin Temple or other temples to receive guidance from the sweeping monks, but was summoned to the capital Chang'an by a restriction order. , asking them to accept public interrogation and wait to receive the customs clearance ultimatum.

Fortunately, the masters of Shaolin Temple are not stupid. They all followed to Chang'an. While intensifying the training of the monks' fists and kicks, they recited sutras to the emperor's ministers and participated in the Huayi etiquette dispute initiated by the Jade Emperor Academy. Zuo Ping commented. This sentence is wrong, and the right person is criticizing this sentence as unreasonable. It seems fair and just, but in fact it is a lot of anger. In the etiquette dispute that should be elegant, people frequently roll up their sleeves and bang the table. King Chu Ba, who was lucky enough to watch the event, was in awe. .

Then he stopped joining in the fun, and his brain hurt.

It is said that the emperor was also annoyed by this etiquette dispute. However, because the Jade Emperor Academy was the leader in Confucianism, [-]% of the officials in the court came from Confucianism. Although there were not many officials who came directly from the Jade Emperor Academy, they could not hold up their high positions. , so in order to show respect and attention, he must attend every scene in person, not only to listen, but also to comment and speak, so that recent state affairs can only be left to the state advisor. The emperor just wants to seize everything every day. Time to hide in silence.

No one knows how long this etiquette debate will last, but one thing is certain, that is, the real theme of this debate is gradually exposed to the public, causing the government and the public to discuss and speculate on the purpose of the Jade Emperor Academy.

"It should be by sea. I guess we are going in the direction of India in reality. It should be more convenient by sea."

"The map of this world is different from reality." There is an education group behind Nian Nian, so they still know these things.

"There's not much difference in the terrain here in China, but it's quite different on your side. I don't know about the rest. Let's go and see." King Chu Ba touched his bare head and said.

While they were talking, the three of them had already reached the vicinity of Tongtian Tower. They looked at the black clouds sticking to the ground from a distance and shivered every year.

"Let's go another way," she suggested.

"Okay, let's go around for a while, but don't put too much hope in it. Recently, all the alleys in Chang'an City are full of people coming and going." King Chu Ba looked around and pointed in the direction for Nian Nian.

"Tongtian Tower is not easy. You have to be careful about stampedes. I feel sad for their security guards. They also have to worry about small things like earplugs. It is convenient for the people. What a good person." Niannian decisively turned around and walked away from the street where Tongtian Tower was located. , gloatingly praising Tongtianlou’s thoughtfulness.

"That earplug is not researched by Tongtianlou," Chu Bawang corrected with a smile.

"Um"

"It was researched by Mingtang, and it was sent out by Tongtian Tower. When Tongtian Tower sent it out, he specifically told the people to remember this favor."

"This is not a favor, right?" Although he understood what King Chu Ba meant, Niannian was still a little confused by Mingtang's little move.

"Many things depend on timing. Normally this seems like a gadget, but after the imperial court just ordered the selection of caravans, lifted the curfew, and mobilized a large number of officers and soldiers to patrol the streets day and night, the people of Chang'an became more concerned Mingtang's little thoughtfulness is very useful." King Chu Ba looked at a group of one hundred officers and soldiers walking past and explained in a low voice.

"One side is disturbing the people, and the other is bringing peace to the people. But the people will not focus on the overall situation of the world. They will only look at the three acres of land in front of them, get up in the morning and go home at night to have tea and sleep."
