The only difference is that his skin has turned a little white and is no longer so pink.
I think this should be a reflection of the old age of this creature.
"Village chief, I picked up someone outside, and I think he's a foreigner."
Plasticine, who brought Jiang Lu here, excitedly showed his results to the village chief.
Jiang Lu actually felt that it would be more interesting if he said "lost someone", but unfortunately he couldn't tell.
Immediately afterwards, Plasticine explained to the village chief why he brought Jiang Lu here.
The general meaning is that he didn't understand many things Jiang Lu wanted to know, but he knew that the village chief must know, so he brought Jiang Lu here.
This kind of sincere, heartfelt compliment is obviously more likely to make people feel comfortable.
Jiang Lun could clearly see that the sad look on the village chief's face that he saw when he first entered the door had now relaxed visibly.
After a few more pleasantries, Plasticine left, not forgetting to tell Jiang Lu to be polite, and the latter naturally agreed.
But after the plasticine left, the village chief's smile gradually faded.
He stood up, closed the doors and windows, then turned around and stared at Jiang Lu for a long time before solemnly asking in Mandarin with a slight accent: "You...should be someone from outside, right?"
"Yes." Jiang Lu nodded: "Foreign friends said yes."
"No." The village chief shook his head seriously: "You can't lie to me. What I'm talking about outside is not a foreign country, but the outside world. In other words, it's the world outside this world, in the sky."
"Uh... why do you think so?" Jiang Lu wanted to argue:
"Is it because I look different from you?"
"That's not the reason." The village chief said with a smile: "The world is very big, and there are many races that look completely different from us. I naturally believe that there will be other races in places where I have never set foot. You look like the same race."
"Isn't that right?"
"But that's not the point." The village chief stopped smiling: "The point is, no matter what race you are from, you shouldn't be able to talk to us like this."
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Lu was puzzled at first, but then he realized something.
The language they speak is the language of the so-called Kingdom of God, and this language was discovered and translated by the village chief.
In other words, this is the unique way of communication in this village.
So as an outsider, Jiang Lu shouldn't be able to communicate with them so easily.
Jiang Lu's expression immediately stiffened when he realized this.
The previous communication with Plasticine was so smooth, and the other party didn't question anything, so Jiang Lu never considered this.
But the village chief in front of him was naturally wiser than the previous one, so he realized this instantly.
So where do they come from if they also speak the language of the Kingdom of God but are not from their village?
The village chief naturally thought of the so-called Kingdom of God.
"So that's it?" Jiang Lu sighed and said with a wry smile: "It seems that it was indeed my negligence. I didn't even think of this."
Seeing that Jiang Lu didn't deny it, the village chief's suspicion was verified. Although he didn't show it on the surface, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
"Then I have to ask, what is the purpose of your coming here?"
He obviously didn't believe Jiang Lu's statement that he was lost, and tried with some worry:
"You don't... want to take back our right to use your language?"
Jiang Lu felt something in his heart and realized something.
He seems... a little afraid of me?
It's no wonder, after all, to him, he is a completely unknown existence, and fearing unknown things is an instinct possessed by any intelligent creature.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lu had a plan and pretended to be relaxed: "I have no such plan for the time being. I just feel that our language is being used by others and I am somewhat interested in you, so I came here to take a look."
"For the time being?" The village chief muttered: "In other words, not necessarily?"
Jiang Lu was accustomed to being unreasonable, and started to talk when he got an advantage: "Then it depends on your performance. If you cooperate well, then I won't be able to let you continue to communicate in our language. ”
"I will cooperate." The village chief immediately agreed: "I will definitely cooperate."
"Then you answer a few questions for me first. First, where is this place? Second, how did you learn the language of the Kingdom of God? Third, the people just now said that your current village was moved from other places. You Why was it moved and where was it originally?”
Hearing Jiang Lu's question, the village chief couldn't help but be a little confused: "You don't know where this is? Then how did you get here?"
Jiang Lu explained without changing his expression: "I sensed that a race that is not of the same kind as us is using our language, and I sensed it, so it makes sense that I don't know where this place is at all, right?"
"It's reasonable, it's reasonable." The village chief suddenly realized: "As expected of a person from the Kingdom of God, he indeed has power beyond my imagination."
"Then answer me quickly, don't waste any time."
"Understood." The village chief invited Jiang Lu to sit down, then thought for a moment and said, "Let's start with the first question.
This is Chrysanthemum Village, in the middle of thousands of miles of ravines..."
Chapter 222 A miracle appears
"As for why it is called Wanli Gully, it has something to do with the terrain here.
If you walk around or look down from a high place, you will find that there are endless cliffs and mountains surrounding Juhua Village.
And they are not crowded together, but lined up in rows and rows.
It's just because Juhua Village happens to be in a place with a deep and wide ravine that it's hard to see it. "
After a pause, the village chief added:
"Of course, Wanli Gully is just the name I gave it. After all, when we moved here, this place was still a wasteland and uninhabited. So if someone else gave it another name, it's possible."
"There is no human habitation? In such a large area, there is no one except you?" Jiang Lu was a little unconvinced.
"Actually, I don't know much either."
The village chief shook his head:
"I also tried to explore. Firstly, I wanted to see if there were other villages nearby. Secondly, I was also curious about where this terrain extends."
"What's the result?"
"To be honest, the results are a bit unbelievable..."
"How to say?"
The village chief thought for a while, seemed to be organizing his words, and then slowly explained: "That time I sent three groups of people, one group went straight forward, constantly crossing these mountains, and the other two groups went left and right along the ravine. Go both ways.
As a result, the group going forward has not come back yet, but the two groups going left and right have not met in the middle. The group on the left has come back from the right, and the group on the right has come back from the left. "
Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment.
That's it?
"What's so incredible about this? Do you understand that the earth is round?"
"What...is the Earth?" The village chief blinked in confusion.
"This is the world." Jiang Lu said casually.
"So you call our world Earth..."
The village chief nodded thoughtfully: "Then why is the earth round?"
"That is to say, no matter which direction you go, you will circle the earth and return to the starting point."
Jiang Lvke popularization said:
“You may find it hard to believe and understand, but this is the truth.”
"Is it really... like this?" The village chief seemed to not believe this statement and questioned: "But those who went forward have not returned yet."
"Maybe he died on the way?"
“No…it shouldn’t be.” The village chief thought for a moment and shook his head. “I thought so at the beginning, so I sent several groups of people forward one after another. They were all strong young men. It’s impossible that they all died.
If he is really dead and the world is as you said, then there must be unimaginable dangers on the other side of the world. "
In fact, Jiang Lugang realized after completing his popular science that this world was not any world he was familiar with. He could tell just by looking at human race, so the natural logic might be different from the world he knew.
It's just because of face, since you have said so, these plasticine don't know what the world is like anyway, can't help you, and have no evidence to refute, so naturally you have to be tough.
The main one is that I know I may be wrong but I just won’t change it.
So he didn't want to waste any more time on this topic: "Then the next question is, how did you learn the language of the Kingdom of God?"
"It's a coincidence."
The village chief said:
"When I was young, I got lost for fun and ended up in a ravine.
In order to find the direction home, I climbed up the mountains around me, trying to see where my home was.
Just when I was carefully identifying the path and direction, the sky suddenly turned dark. When I came back to my senses, a strange thing had covered the entire sky, as if the sky had collapsed. It seemed like the lowest part almost touched my head.
It was something I had never seen before, soft, yet very tough, and covered with countless holes and pits.
The mountain range closest to me was much higher than the one I was on, and it was flattened by this kind of thing.
The most terrifying thing is that I can feel that the thing is moving, and it is constantly going deeper.
I was so scared, I was afraid it would destroy my home, and I was afraid I would die here.
But at this moment, I heard God’s voice.
They were two different voices. They were having a conversation, but I couldn't understand anything at the time. I only knew that they were saying something to each other, and then after an unknown amount of time, everything returned to normal. It's like nothing happened.
The originally smoothed mountain peaks, except for some traces of falling earth and rocks, have actually returned to their original shape.
I finally got home without any danger.
I couldn't speak at that time, so I tried every means to describe what I was going through to my family and friends, but I could never express myself clearly.
Then, the scene of two voices talking suddenly appeared in my mind, and I suddenly realized that maybe this is the ability we need.
I gave up explaining what I was seeing and began to devote myself entirely to the study of the language.
From then on, the sounds of their conversations kept appearing in my mind, and gradually, I discovered that I seemed to be able to understand the meaning of some of them.
