can't go wild

In the Luye Plain, everyone is also waiting for a miracle.

When Xing Zhou took the token and went to the north to find a helper, he chose to be honest.He told the cause of the deer field and the secret of the solar disk, and also told what he was going to do next, in a straightforward manner, stating the pros and cons.This is a completely different style from Chu Lian, a complete outsider, does it bring real hope to Lu Ye, or a new round of despair?

Nobody knows.

Someone chose to follow him back to Miwang Township, and followed his instructions to start digging the lake.Some people choose to follow from a distance and wait and see from the outside.Some people have already given up hope, or sneered at all these so-called truths, thinking that it was just another hoax.

All in all, Miwang Township was dug up after all.Xing Zhou led people to work all night, and the light of the torches illuminated the entire Miwang Township. When the pit was dug deeper and bigger, a stone tablet was finally revealed.

This is an irregular stone tablet, polished very rough, not too big.It's not like the kind of stone tablet that was specially erected here for annotation.

There are two patterns engraved on the stele, one side is the sun and the other side is the moon, but the shape is somewhat special.

When Xing Zhou was studying, he was very interested in astronomy, so he quickly recognized that the pattern depicted was actually a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse.Moreover, the appearance of the sun disc, if it is fully formed, is also a bit like a tengu eclipsing the sun.

If he remembers correctly, the most recent lunar eclipse preceded the solar eclipse, in early November, and it wasn't a total lunar eclipse.But Lu Ye is not in the same space as the original world, so the time that can be calculated there may not be applicable to Lu Ye.Moreover, the climate in Luye is abnormal, and there is a 11-hour polar night, which does not seem to be synchronized with the outside world.

While thinking about it, water has already emerged from the bottom of the dug pit, and the lake is finally coming back.Many people showed happy expressions, and even knelt down on the ground, chanting words.

Water has always been a precious resource in Luye. Although the water emerging from the bottom of the pit is still turbid, as long as it is not poisonous, it is good.

Everyone forgot about the sun for a moment, and those who were watching from a distance in the dark also ran over, the firelight shone on everyone's faces, and those eyes lit up by pure joy instantly diluted the grayness of Lu Ye color.

In the midst of all this bustle, Xing Zhou continued to deduce on the ground with a branch.He asked when the sun wheel opened, and knew the approximate area of ​​Luye and the speed at which the sun wheel opened. Through calculations, he could get a rough result—the sun wheel would have about three days before it would completely form a closed loop.

What can you do for three days?

Xing Zhou raised his head, looked at the faces illuminated by the fire, but thought of Aino, Zong Mian, etc., all his teammates left there.The passage is two-way, if one side is blocked, it will not help if the other side is connected.

He believes that they must be working hard, so he must not lose the chain.

If the condition of time has been stuck, is there any other way?

Xing Zhou thought again of the polar night that just passed, and thought of all the mysteries of Lu Ye. He looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and suddenly asked in his heart—what is the law of this world?

There is no doubt that in that outside world, science has established atheism, and the sun rises and the moon sets, and the spring and fall follow the laws of nature.Then to the exploration of the universe, everything can be explained.

But Luye is a place made by gods.

It is undoubtedly impossible to use science to explain theology.You can't explain why there is a sun disc, why those spells work, and where the energy is absorbed.People turn to theology only when everything cannot be explained by science.This is a matter of precedence.

So if we abandon scientific theories and look at lunar eclipses and solar eclipses purely from a theological perspective, what kind of conditions need to be met to be considered valid?

For a while, Xing Zhou still couldn't figure out what to do.He set his sights on the stele again, inspected it carefully, wiped off the soil at the bottom of the stele with his thumb, and suddenly found that there were still a few lines of blurry small characters engraved there, both on the front and back.

On the front it reads: Here lies the real key.

On the reverse it reads: I curse you and never forgive.

The paintings and characters engraved on this stone tablet seem to have come from the same hand, and have not been seen by anyone.Otherwise, there are so many people in Luye, including Chu Lian, who are extremely smart. If they have seen this stele, they must have already guessed the truth.

The real key should refer to the correct way to open the passage.This man engraved this method on a stone tablet, threw it into the lake, and let it stay at the bottom of the lake forever, until today.

But this person hates Lu Ye again, how deep is the unforgiving hatred?He or she could completely hide the truth, but still carved this stele, leaving behind a glimmer of hope.

Could this person be the woman from back then?

Xing Zhou couldn't be sure, but his intuition told him it was.

It is a conflicted soul.Hatred drives people crazy, makes people lose their minds, and is desperate, but maybe at some point, the good self who used to be will come back and tear her soul in two.Just like this stele, one side is engraved with hope, and the other side is engraved with hatred.

and many more.

Putting aside his feelings, Xing Zhou looked at the stele carefully.Are there any special references to these calligraphy and paintings engraved on both sides of the stele?Engraved on this side of the sun, it says the key.

The side engraved with the moon is a curse.

Does this mean that entering the deer field from the outside world is a solar eclipse.Leaving from Luye is a lunar eclipse?

Xing Zhou is still exploring in this room, while Aino has fallen into a coma on the other side.

The boat was still swaying in the wind and rain, and Aino couldn't hold it anymore. He felt very cold and tired, and his consciousness gradually fell into the cold deep sea, returning to silence.

When Aino woke up again, it was already the evening of the second day, but the torrential rain still did not stop, only the wind subsided a little, and he began to whimper softly.

Aino's mobile phone and headset had fallen into the water a long time ago, he couldn't determine the exact time, and when he opened his eyes to look at the sky, it was also dark.But what really woke him up was not the wind and rain, but the stomachache.

Ever since Xing Zhou left, Aino has never had a good meal. After yesterday's ordeal, stomach pain and fever are normal phenomena.Chu Lian obviously doesn't know how to take care of others. At most, he can give up the umbrella to save Xiangye from the rain.

And he sat alone in the bow of the boat, and the vines formed a black canopy above his head, which was much better than an umbrella to keep out the rain.

"You're awake." He turned his head and spoke softly.

Aino had already sat up, but seeing that he was not wet at all, he lay back down again, closed his eyes, and pretended that he had never woken up.Otherwise, he couldn't control his urge to kill Chu Lian.

Chu Lian rubbed his nose and seemed to have finally realized something was wrong, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Aino ignored.

Chu Lian: "You are still growing, so you have to eat."

Aino: "Shut up."

With this opening, Aino realized that his voice was hoarse.Her lips were very dry, and the wound on her shoulder was also very painful. Chu Lian struck so hard that she almost stabbed him right through.The bleeding stopped, but for a while, I couldn't lift my hand.

He has to eat to fuel his body.So when Chu Lian asked him again if he wanted to eat, Aino did not refuse.

But Chu Lian didn't prepare any food. He went into exile, of course he had to look like he was in exile, so he decided to use local materials.

Soon, the boat docked at the shore.Chu Lian goes ashore to search for food, while Aino stays on the boat.It's not that he doesn't want to run, one is because with his current physical condition and in this kind of weather, he can't run far without means of communication.Second, the water vines had already spread along the river. If he left the boat and was rounded up by the water vines, he might die on the road.

And after a while, Chu Lian came back.

He brought roast chicken.

Aino sat up with difficulty, leaning against the side of the boat with one hand, looking at the chicken in the basket in Chu Lian's hand, with a strange expression on his face.He looked around, and there was no village or shop behind here, except for a large area of ​​farmland and forests, where did the roast chicken come from?

Chu Lian seemed to see his doubts, and said, "I used a teleportation talisman to steal it."

Aino: "..."

Chu Lian: "Are you surprised?"

Aino: "Why don't you just use the teleporter to leave?"

Chu Lian: "Won't that be fun?"

Aino: "..."

Why do you have to take me into exile? I think you want to kill me.

"Let's eat." Chu Lian saved some meat for himself, and handed the rest to Aino, looked at him with his chin propped up, and said, "Actually, I imagined us eating together a long time ago."

Aino did not respond.

His mouth was very light, and the delicious roast chicken tasted in his mouth, but he couldn't taste it.But he still ate seriously, swallowing it mouthful, trying to regain his strength as much as possible.

Chu Lian: "I heard Aqi scold you for being a picky eater. He said you don't like vegetables."

Aino: "..."

Chu Lian: "I don't like to eat either, so I won't force you to eat."

Aino: "Is this a parent-child moment? My father's surname is Shen, and my adoptive father's surname is Xiang. They are both dead, do you remember?"

"That's really a pity." Chu Lian sighed, and finally stopped talking.But after a while, he turned his head to look at Aino again, and said, "I don't mind if you take the thief as your father."

Aino took a deep breath, "I mind."

Conversations of the same nature were repeated over and over for the next few hours.

Between the two of them was a sea of ​​blood and deep feud that could not be washed away.But in this world shrouded in torrential rain, the distance between the two was infinitely shortened, and they were able to sit down and talk calmly.

Aino kept silent most of the time, and occasionally stabbed him with words, but Chu Lian didn't mind, like a true lenient elder, he could tolerate all the waywardness in his back.

Perhaps, Chu Lian has really thought about her own ending.Aino thought so.

Doomed to fail, doomed to die; no home, no place to return.So in the end, he chose to go into exile aimlessly, taking only Aino with him to accompany him through the final journey.

And the river below them is like the river of fate that Chu Lian said.
