The cook was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's not very clear, but I'll always remember it. By the way, what's in Daxian Mountain?" I didn't answer directly, but asked: " Brother, do you still remember such a name?" The cook nodded: "There are no plants and trees, but there are many jade under it. It is a mountain with four directions and cannot be climbed up. There is a snake named Long Snake, its hair is like a pigeon, and its sound is like a drum and watchdog." Hua Rong seemed to be relieved and said: "Fortunately, the waiter is not that serious." The cook scratched his head and smiled: "I hope I can recover my memory soon. Also, you suddenly asked me about Daxian Mountain, Could it be a hint that there is that strange, bristly snake here?"
I shook my head and said: "Brother actually forgot about the giant snake, then forget it, even Bai Ze and Yinfeng have forgotten." The cook thought for a while and said to himself: "There are countless things in my mind. The image of Bai Ze seems to be from film and television works or novels. I don’t know which Bai Ze you are talking about. And what is Yinfeng? A person, or something?" I smiled bitterly: "Okay, brother Don’t worry about so much for now, what I mean is that there are very likely creatures like Bai Ze or Yin Feng hiding here.” The cook nodded and asked: “Are they very powerful, and have they caused any harm to us?” I sighed and said: "When brother thinks about it, he will know that not only did they not hurt us, but they also helped us. But we hurt many of their kind." The cook smiled thoughtfully, Said: "It is not good to always prey on the weak. When we have the conditions, let's have fraternity." Hua Rong echoed: "Servant, please restore your memory quickly, so that we can hope to realize various dreams. For example, everyone can collect To provide equal education, instead of only the rich can enjoy it; to select outstanding talents from all the people, not only the rich can cross a certain threshold; everyone can be cared for, instead of being limited to the number of places in college like Brother Wu. Someone else took my place." The cook smiled slightly and said, "I seem to have some impression. I planned to realize something, but I couldn't remember it all of a sudden." I also smiled: "When eldest brother recovers his memory, that's all. I can remember it. Don’t forget this moment when the time comes, just be concerned about the world.” Hua Rong suddenly sighed: “On the road to civilization, we are destined to experience barbaric bloodshed.” The cook and I both watched. He looked at Hua Rong but said nothing.
So I pointed in the direction of the big mushroom forest and said: "Let's hurry on. There is no sunshine here all year round. If we stay for a long time, we may develop some chronic diseases and we will be in trouble. What if the entire liver and kidneys are damaged, and reproductive failure... "Speaking of this, I smiled at Hua Rong: "Even if my eldest brother introduces you to me, the most beautiful royal singer in the Song Dynasty, you can only watch." Hua Rong glanced at me: "Why, you don't know I am a Taoist. Not only can I take care of my body, I can also make elixirs." I laughed loudly: "I am still making elixirs, why not rub some Han mud." Hua Rong also laughed. Then we walked cautiously towards the mushroom forest.
After walking about three hundred meters, Hua Rong suddenly shouted: "Something's wrong, let's stop!" I glanced at Hua Rong and found a strange expression on Hua Rong's face, so I asked: "Brother Hua, what's wrong with you?" Did you?" Hua Rong shook his head, then appeared very uneasy, and replied: "Due to my profession, I have been active in some inaccessible places all year round, and I have accumulated a lot of knowledge about wild survival. I also have certain knowledge about animals, plants, and the environment. Reserve." The cook nodded and signaled to continue. Hua Rong continued: "I'm a little dizzy now. Are we on the earth? Or maybe we are on the earth but not in our space. But even in a foreign land, the law of energy conservation cannot be broken, right?" The cook nodded. : "That makes sense, what do you mean specifically?" Hua Rong looked around, as if to confirm that there was no danger. Then he motioned us to sit down, then used a knife to draw pictures on the ground, and explained: "Starting from the sandy area where we fell, we actually didn't go very far. Similarly, there were big mushrooms not too far away. Lin, there is still light." I nodded and said, "Why, is it possible that Diga Man lives in the mushroom forest?" Hua Rong raised his middle finger to me and continued: "Suppose we are in an underground space, the sunlight It shines in through cracks in the ground, so it makes sense that the bottom is dark and humid. But something is wrong with that huge forest of mushrooms. They should grow far away from the sun." The cook patted his head and said "What if it's a special species of mushroom that happens to like low light?" Hua Rong nodded and replied: "Assuming that the mushroom is fine and is a new species, let's not consider it for now. Then what about the many animals we just saw? Corpses, where did they come from, and what do they rely on to survive?" The cook patted his head again, seeming to be in pain, and asked: "Could they survive by eating mushrooms?" Hua Rong shook his head and said, "The question is Here. It is impossible for some weak sunlight to spawn such a huge giant mushroom forest, let alone support so many animals. Just what we saw just now, the number is already amazing. Also, the ones we encountered before Those disgusting bugs..." I interrupted hurriedly: "Brother Hua, stop talking, or I won't be able to drink the water when I see it." Hua Rong raised his middle finger at me again. He continued: "Their size determines their high energy requirements. In other words, their food is at least rabbit-sized animals, not ants and insects. And the super-large predators you saw, Brother Wu, It is even less likely to exist in a place where food is scarce. Therefore, from the perspective of the energy transfer efficiency of the food chain, this wild land simply does not have enough energy and resources to feed so many creatures."
The cook nodded: "So, what is your conclusion?" Hua Rong looked a little strange and said hesitantly: "I guess it is possible that the sun cannot be seen here at all. Brother Wu, you have experienced foreign lands several times. , I assume you won't be surprised, right?" I shook my head, sighed, and said: "Since Brother Hua has speculated like this, I won't hide it. In fact, I have long believed that the sun is not sunshine in the distance." The cook was stunned, and Hua Rong was even more surprised. They both asked in unison: "What did you find?" I pointed to my eyes and said: "In the normal world, I can see at night, in the dim light." Below, the object is just a different color of light. Even without the reflected shimmer, I can see various transmitted radiant lights. However, I have never seen the main color at night being dark red, but at night here, or It can't even be called night, the overall color is dark red!" Hua Rong's expression became shocked: "No, I really got it right with my crow's mouth, why didn't you tell me earlier?" I smiled bitterly: " When we fell, it was just dark here. I thought it was a lack of light. Later, when you were all hypnotized and fell asleep, I discovered the abnormality of "night" here." At this point, I spread my hands and shrugged: "It took a lot of effort to make it happen. I woke you up, but I was afraid of scaring you, so I decided not to tell you yet, and asked you to wait where you were while I went to explore the way. But you insisted on moving forward and retreating together, so I decided to go find out together. There’s no need to scare you in advance, it won’t help anyway.”
The cook patted his head a few more times and said with a smile: "Brother, if you have any doubts or difficulties in the future, tell them in advance and we will face them together. There is no need for you to carry it alone. People who know the truth are often the most painful. Really?" I shrugged: "Okay, two brothers, in fact, I don't know where the bright light in the distance comes from, what is in the distance, and what the significance of our going there is. In fact, I have no clue. I'm even afraid that if I'm not careful, you will be in danger. Even if it's like Bai Ke... And I live in pain alone because of the protection of the moon spirit."
The cook smiled and said: "Why do we make it feel like we are about to leave or die? We are just discussing the problem. The three of us should be careful. With strong firepower, we can walk sideways on the earth." Hua Rong also nodded resolutely and said: "Brother Wu, don't be so sentimental. I'm not bragging. Now even if a Cordia brown bear comes, I dare to challenge it. Well, I'll challenge it with a rifle." After saying that, the three of us laughed, which was considered a challenge. Lightened the atmosphere. I looked into the distance again, still feeling uneasy.
The mossy road was not easy to walk, but there were no dangers on the road. Occasionally, some flying insects came to harass them, but Hua Rong used them all to practice his sword skills. Finally encountering a slightly larger animal, Hua Rong shot it down and then ignored it. But the calmer it gets, the more scared I am. I looked back at the cook and Hua Rong. They were also highly focused. As I walked like this, I could see the roots and edges of the tall mushroom forest from a distance. The sky also started to turn darker and redder. I asked: "Brother Hua, look at this place now. Is it so dark that you can't see anything, or are there other colors?" Hua Rong smiled and said, "I can barely judge your figure and follow you. What else?" I can’t even see you.” I asked the cook again, and the cook smiled in the middle and said, “I can barely see you two.”
So I stopped and said: "The two eldest brothers didn't even say a word. Let's camp here." After that, I pointed to the distance and said: "There will be a giant mushroom forest a thousand meters away. Let's camp here at night." It's too risky to go in. Let's wait until you can see clearly tomorrow before we go in." Both the cook and Hua Rong agreed, so they turned on the flashlight and started to set up the tent. I thought for 0.01 seconds and then said: "Since this place is close to the giant mushroom forest, there may be more animals. I will be on duty tonight. You guys can have a good rest and just think of it as recovering your body."
The cook patted his head and asked, "Can your body bear it?" I smiled and said, "Brother, I am protected by the power of the moon spirit, so staying up all night is nothing."
