C348 Dreamlike
In the folklore, in ancient times, there were ten suns in the sky. The intense sunlight brought great pain to the common people in the mortal world, so the Celestial Emperor sent Houyi down to help people get rid of their suffering.
Initially, Houyi had tried to persuade the ten suns in the sky to take turns coming out every day, but the sun had refused to listen to his advice. At the end of the day, Houyi had taken down his bow and arrows and shot them at the sun.
This was the story of Houyi's Shooting Sun. It had been passed down since childhood, Gao Fei had even heard this story. Back then, he had even imagined himself as Houyi, able to use his bow to protect the peace of the world.
However, as he grew older, Gao Fei would laugh at himself whenever he thought of this story. He thought that he was so naive when he was young, and he really believed that there were ten suns in the sky.
As he grew older, he had completely forgotten about this story. Perhaps he would only think about it when his hair turned white and his beard swelled up.
However, he never expected that before his hair and beard had even turned white, he would see with his own eyes seven or eight bright suns in the sky!
This was definitely not a dream. There were actually seven or eight suns in the sky!
But how could there be so many suns in the sky?
This was either a dream or an illusion.
Right, we must be suffering from hallucinations, Gao Fei thought like this. He rubbed his eyes and pinched his own thigh hard, causing him to let out a cold breath of pain. When he looked up again, there were still so many suns in the sky, as well as blue skies and white clouds.
At this moment, Gao Fei was completely dumbfounded. He sat down on the hillside in front of the door and looked into the distance dumbly, not moving at all.
Anyone who was trapped in the cave for four or five days and was on the verge of a mental breakdown would finally escape with great difficulty. However, they would soon discover that there were so many suns in the sky, so many of them didn't go crazy immediately.
"Zhizhi!"
A clear cry of a bird came from above Gao Fei's head. He subconsciously looked back slowly and saw a green bird with a blood-red mouth, which he had never seen before, standing seven to eight meters above him on a black stone. It was looking at him from the outside, curiously sizing him up.
Gao Fei waved at the little bird. The little bird was frightened and with a squeak, it spread its wings and flew away.
Staring blankly at the place where the bird used to stand, Gao Fei was stunned for a long time before he suddenly stood up. Grabbing the submachine gun, he climbed up the mountain using both his hands and feet.
This mountain was a stone mountain, and its body was dark in color. It was as if a single stomp of the foot could cause oil to spill out.
The mountain was not that steep, and there were some flowers and plants on the mountain that Gao Fei didn't know of. They were bright and fresh, and the fragrance of them assailed the nose. Some of the little bees were working hard.
However, Gao Fei wasn't in the mood to appreciate all of this at the moment. He wanted to climb to the top of the mountain as soon as possible and see what kind of place this was!
Gao Fei had never climbed up the mountain so fast before and was panting heavily. However, he did not care. In less than ten minutes, he had already jumped up to the top of the mountain. He then jumped onto a big rock and looked around.
Southwest of the hill and directly south of it, from afar, it looked like a lush green field of crops. Some people were weeding and fertilization in the field.
In the southeast was a magnificent city!
The city was entirely made of black stone, and there was a wide road leading to the city. There was an endless stream of people on the road. There were people riding on horses, driving carriages, and even people carrying loads on foot.
At the top of the city gate, from afar, there seemed to be many soldiers in black cotton armors holding swords and spears. Behind them, there was a large flag with golden edges. On the flag, there was something that looked like a dragon.
Since the distance was too far, he couldn't see it clearly. Gao Fei took out a telescope from his backpack and looked over there.
Borrowing the power of the telescope, Gao Fei saw his heart clearly, and a cold breath came out: What he saw now, was exactly the Ghost City he saw from the air above the Loulan Ruins recorded in the official records!
"So there really is such a city. Could it be that I've crossed over from the cave to the ancient era?"
Gao Fei put down his binoculars and moaned weakly. He groaned.
In the past, when Gao Fei had nothing to do, he had read a few online novels and especially liked to read those who had transmigrated. He relied on modern knowledge to run to the ancient times to show off, such as singing Li Taibai's Yellow River from the Sui Dynasty and then shocking the world.
While he was reading, he would sometimes daydream about travelling to 1937 and pulling a group of people to kill pirates …
But no matter what age he wanted to travel to, it was all a fantasy.
However, he never would have thought that such a thing that only existed in his imagination would actually happen.
And, to his dull pain, there were still seven suns in the sky (now he counted them all: seven suns in all).
In the folklore, there were many times when the sun appeared in the sky. It was an ancient era, so this was an ancient era?
If this was an ancient era, why would there be such a magnificent city?
The soldiers standing guard over the city gate were all dressed in the same majestic and neat attire. In the ancient times, everyone only wore a single piece of beast skin, even the ladies …
"Strange, there are so many suns, why is the earth not scorched?"
Closing his eyes in pain, Gao Fei turned around and looked at the back of the mountain. He saw the endless forest swaying under the wind. Standing on the mountain, he could occasionally see wild beasts.
At the edge of the forest, there was a lake of about a few square kilometers. Some animals with white bodies and limbs that were searching for land were playing there.
Gao Fei raised his binoculars again and looked at the white animals.
He knew these white animals, and he would have been surprised to see them when he first came out of the cave. But after seeing so many suns and magnificent cities in the sky, he was no longer surprised to see them again.
Those white things are baboons.
Gao Fei dared to pat his chest and say that this kind of white baboon was exactly the same as the baboon beside Su Beishan.
He didn't know if he had transmigrated or if Mr. Gao was dead. After staring blankly at the mountain for a long time, he walked down the mountain with heavy steps. No matter what, he had to go to the city.
He went up the mountain very quickly but slowly. It took him at least half an hour to arrive at the cave entrance, only to find that the cave entrance was no longer there.
Gao Fei was silent. He looked at the mountain that should have had a cave and was too lazy to show any more surprise. He dragged his submachine gun and walked down the trail.
On the way down the mountain, there were a lot of fruit trees beside the goat trail. Gao Fei didn't know all of them, but some of them were bright red.
He randomly picked one and took a bite. He only felt a sweet taste in his mouth.
Compared to these fruits, those canned fruits were like trash.
After eating a dozen or so free fruits, Gao Fei felt relieved and said, "Who cares where he is, it's better than death as long as he's alive!"
Thinking like this, Gao Fei felt a lot more relaxed. Even his footsteps became lighter and he soon arrived on the road.
The road was paved with tamped earth. It was very smooth, very wide and very clean.
Carrying the submachine gun over his shoulder, Jack strode toward the city gate, ignoring the people around him and looking at him in surprise.
Most of them were made of coarse cloth, and some of them were made of silk. It seemed like they were the aristocrats of these people, or else those wearing coarse clothes wouldn't give way when these people walked over.
Gao Fei walked forward as if there was no one around. He passed an old black car that was being pulled by a horse. The so-called black car was a carriage that was pulled by a horse.
The driver was an old man with a goatee. He was half-dead with his eyes closed as he lightly shook his whip. He didn't notice Gao Fei at all.
On the other hand, the person sitting in the black cart just so happened to lift up the curtain and look out.
It was a pair of very bright eyes. After seeing Gao Fei dressed in a strange outfit, it let out a soft "oh". From the sound of it, it seemed to be a very young girl.
Gao Fei turned his head and looked. The moment their eyes met, the curtains of the black car fell down, blocking the pair of bright eyes.
Gao Fei smiled and ignored him as he continued to move forward.
When he was a few hundred meters away from the city gate, he could clearly see the soldiers standing at the top of the city gate. At this moment, he heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from behind him.0
Gao Fei turned his head and saw three horses running over.
The leader was a man wearing a silk robe with countless pigtails. He had a full mouth full of sideburns and was riding a big horse. He was whipping a horse behind him.
Regardless of whether they were pedestrians to the east or the west, when they saw the three horses, they all hid at the side of the road.
"Hanger, hiss off, don't you have eyes!?"
Those people all raised their whips as they shouted out arrogantly. If a pedestrian was too slow in dodging, they would be hit in the head with a whip.
The person who had been whipped didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction. He held his head and crawled to the side of the road to hide.
The leader, the bearded strong man, laughed out loud and continued to rush across the wide road. He charged through the crowded area along the way, scaring the pedestrians into a series of screams and making them run off the road.
Gao Fei was not unfamiliar with the bearded strong man's domineering actions. That was because in the technological world outside, there were also some people who were known as popinjays.
In the blink of an eye, the three men who were riding the horses and whipping the horses arrived not far behind Gao Fei.
Gao Fei didn't want to cause any trouble before he figured out what was going on. He frowned and walked down the road.
The clatter of the horse's hooves, the sound of the whip swinging, and the burly man's pleased laughter, as well as the screams made by the pedestrians, finally awakened the old man who was driving the carriage.
The old man opened his eyes and quickly jumped down from the carriage. Holding the reins of the old horse, he shouted and pulled himself to the side of the road.
However, before the old man could pull the carriage to the side of the road, the leader galloped over and lashed his whip at the old man. "Get lost, old thing!"
The whip hit the old man's neck with a "pa" sound and a red mark immediately appeared on it. Before he could let out a cry of pain, the old horse that was pulling the carriage was startled.
The person sitting in the black car immediately fell off the car and cried out, "Ouch!"
