Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 96 A chance encounter on the train
After listening to the old man's vivid introduction, Xing Tianyu couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable, even a little unimaginable. This is mainly because he lives in a coastal city near the sea, with a dense population, and the land is an extremely valuable industry. It is simply unimaginable that an entire town will be abandoned.

However, listening to the old man's words didn't sound like a joke, so he had no choice but to say thank you. He paid 25 yuan for the ticket, and gave the old man the remaining pack of cigarettes. Amidst the old man's repeated thanks , Xing Tianyu found a seat by the window and sat down, waiting for the departure.

Glancing at the interior of the carriage, there was only one passenger in the empty carriage. It seemed that what the old man said was not unreasonable. After waiting for a few minutes, just as the train was about to depart, two passengers, a man and a woman, came up. , the train departed almost immediately as soon as the two men boarded.

"Thank God, I finally caught up. This seems to be the last bus. We are lucky today." Xing Tianyu heard the woman among the two passengers in the front seat say.

"If it weren't for you insisting on eating barbecue, why would we be so late." The man said in a weird Chinese, sounding like a foreigner.

"You're hungry. Fighting is hard work. You can't understand how you can do it if you're not full."

"I think it's true that you are greedy."

"What's that called? It's as if you've eaten less."

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly switched to English, and lowered their voices. Xing Tianyu was not interested in eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, but just looked at the scenery outside the window in boredom.

Looking at the mountains on both sides of the railway being thrown behind the car one by one, looking at the lush mountains around, I don’t know if it’s related to what the old man just said, even the shapes of these mountains in front of me seem weird. Like deformed monsters lying prone, Xing Tianyu felt that he was heading towards an unknown wilderness, only the vibration of the train under his buttocks gave him a little comfort.

Being idle and bored, he took out a book from his backpack to pass the time, but he didn't expect to open it and found out that it was a book written by himself.

He was in a hurry when he left and just stuffed two books casually. He didn’t notice it for a while, and then read another book, which was also the Mo Zong Tan Ying series. This time he was also depressed, but he was very bored, and he had no choice. , My own book is my own book. It is quite interesting to read the novels I wrote in the past.

Xing Tianyu opened it after thinking about it, and began to read it. This book is the first book of Mozong Tanying. At that time, because he was just entering the industry, he was not very good at writing. This book largely draws on his experience in Daqingshan.

"Are you Lou Xingyu's book fan too?"

A woman's voice suddenly interrupted Xing Tianyu's emotions. He looked up, but was slightly taken aback. In front of him was a tall woman, estimated to be 1.8 meters tall, with a fit body, wearing a man's super long This style of windbreaker looks a bit neutral. Although she is a woman, Xing Tianyu has a heroic feeling. He obviously has no makeup, and his wheat-colored skin looks like he should often exercise outdoors. Looking at him with piercing eyes.

Xing Tianyu was a little surprised. This was the first time he had seen such a woman. The young women he saw on weekdays were typical urban women with fair skin and lack of exercise. It's all about losing weight. I have hardly seen a sporty woman like this before.

After a moment of distraction, the woman repeated her question again.

"what?"

"I mean, do you also like this Lou Xingyu's novel?" Lou Xingyu is the pen name he used when he wrote Mo Zong Tan Ying.

"Ah, yes, almost." Xing Tianyu said.

"Ha, that's such a coincidence, I like this series too," the woman sat down on the seat opposite him without any excuse, "Can you lend me a look?"

"Um, of course." Xing Tianyu was a little surprised and happy to meet his book fan during the trip.

The woman took it over and looked at it, "Hey, this is the first edition of yours. I remember that only five thousand copies of this edition were printed, so it is very valuable for collection."

Xing Tianyu nodded. At that time, because he was a new author and not well-known, only [-] copies of this edition were printed. Later, when the following books gradually became popular, another edition was printed.

"If you like it, I will give it to you. I still have it in my hand."

"Thank you very much!" The woman said excitedly after hearing this.

"By the way, why do you like this man's book?" Xing Tianyu couldn't help asking, looking at the woman looking like she had found a treasure.

The woman thought for a while, "Of course there is a reason. His writing style can only be said to be so-so, but the details in his book are in place, and there are few loopholes. Believe me, I have read a lot of this type of writing." Books, you don't know how bad those authors' common sense can be. His book is absolutely excellent.

But what attracted me the most was his immersive feeling and his understanding of occultism. This author has obviously done research on occultism. out of reach. "

Xing Tianyu was a little surprised. In fact, when he was writing this book, he did refer to some information obtained from the conversation between the demigod Baros and the Sphinx, as well as what he learned from reading the book of other worlds. The extra knowledge and inspiration he obtained, although he dare not write out the detailed information related to the summoning ceremony and those other worlds, it is very common to change it up a bit, or use some not very sensitive information to describe it vaguely. practice.

This is also a point that he is extremely proud of. Unfortunately, few people can see the mystery of it. Unexpectedly, he was pointed out by a woman he met unexpectedly today.

"What do you do? You sound very knowledgeable." Xing Tianyu asked suspiciously.

The woman was indeed full of nonsense: "I am an archaeologist. Have you watched Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones? Basically, they were filmed according to my deeds."

(Is that Indiana Jones a man, and how many years ago was that movie?) Xing Tianyu secretly complained in his heart, "Are you sure you are really an archaeologist? Then what do you usually do?"

"What are you doing, of course it's digging holes, digging bones and fighting monsters." The woman laughed as she spoke, "Hehe, it's just a joke."

The woman said, looking at the night outside the window and the mountains in the distance, a faintly longing smile suddenly appeared on her face, as if she was talking to herself: "But if I really want to be an archaeologist If so, man, can you imagine the picture."

A picture of a female archaeologist exploring the ancient tomb with a whip suddenly appeared in Xing Tianyu's mind, but speaking of it, it was surprisingly not inconsistent.

"So what on earth do you do?"

The woman smiled and shook her head, "Dude, I think it's better for you not to know this, and you probably won't believe it even if you tell me."
