"Brother Zhang, today was an eye-opener for us. See you later!"
Liu and Wang parked the car in front of the pet shop and waved goodbye to Zhang Zian.
"Come in and have dinner before you leave. I was about to order some food for you," Zhang Zian invited them.
"No, we took a day off. We have a lot of things to do when we go back tonight," Liu said.
Zhang Zian knew that he was telling the truth, so he didn't ask him to stay. "Okay, be careful on the road. Drive slowly."
Watching them drive away, Zhang Zian and Famous entered the pet shop one after another.
"Time to get off work."
Zhang Zian patted the cashier's desk to remind Lu Yi Yun, who was immersed in her painting. He called to order two meals, one of which was for her to take home.
Famous looked up. Everything was normal in the pet shop. Galaxy was playing hide-and-seek, Fina was gently wagging its tail and taking a nap on the highest cat tree, Snowy Lionet was staring at Fina's tail and muttering "raw beef brisket." Old Time Tea was lying on the electric blanket in the corner, watching TV. Richard was next to Old Time Tea and kept saying, "Change the channel."
Lu Yi Yun put on her coat in a hurry. After Zhang Zian finished ordering the food, he asked her about the business during the day. It seemed that everything was normal.
Famous was more tired than usual today. Not only did it fight Mastiff King, but it also ran back and forth several times while shooting the scene where the stray Tibetan mastiffs chased the police dogs. It really wanted to find a place to rest before eating supper. Anyway, it had nothing to do, so it walked to the TV and wondered what Old Time Tea was watching.
"Arrogant and haughty, I laugh at the waves — —"
"Hot-Blooded and hot-blooded …"
"Guts like iron and bones like steel —"
"Broad-Minded and far-sighted …"
The TV was playing a martial arts film in ancient costume, and the background music was playing. A handsome young man soared into the air, continuously displaying his peerlessly swift and fierce leg techniques, kicking his enemies until they were forced to retreat.
Old Time Tea was fascinated by the film, and its eyes were shining. Every time it saw something exciting, it would pat the electric blanket and exclaim in admiration.
"Quack! Change the channel! Change the channel! This kind of garbage film is so fake. What is there to watch? I want to watch American freaks … no, American talent show! " Richard hated these action movies. It flapped its wings and tried to snatch the remote control from Old Time Tea's claws, but it never succeeded.
Old Time Tea's eyes were fixed on the TV screen. Just by changing the remote control from its left paw to its right paw, and from its right paw to its left paw, Richard was exhausted.
Famous sympathized with Richard. Even if this grey parrot practiced for another 30 years, it might not be able to snatch something from Old Time Tea.
"Old Time Tea, why did you change the movie?" it asked.
Both Famous and Zhang Zian knew that Old Time Tea's favorite movies were about Ye Wen. It had watched them many times, whether they were old or new. Its second favorite was Bruce Lee's movies, but the protagonist of this movie was neither Ye Wen nor Bruce Lee.
The exciting fight story came to an end. Old Time Tea moved its eyes away from the screen and said happily, "It's boring to watch the same series all the time. It's good to have a change occasionally. This series is about a warrior with the surname Huang in the Foshan area. Although the plot is different from the person in my memory, the fight scenes are very exciting. What you lose on the swings, you gain on the swings. "
After hearing what Old Time Tea said, Famous seemed to remember that Old Time Tea had also watched the first movie of the series a few days ago. At that time, Famous had been worried about the Mastiff King, so it had only heard the sound of the movie.
Old Time Tea thoughtfully glanced at Famous's legs and smiled. "Famous, did you have any adventures in the past two days?"
Famous was surprised and asked curiously, "Old Time Tea, how did you know?"
"I'm not blind. The way you walk today is a little different from the way you walked yesterday. Your lower body is solid, and you walk like a tiger or a dragon. Without a year and a half of hard practice, you can't reach this level today. Unless you have an amazing adventure like the protagonist in the Wuxia TV series, there's no way to explain it. " Old Time Tea stared at it and laughed. "Famous, you've always been in the shop and with the crew. You've never left alone. Is there a lost martial arts secret book somewhere in the shop?"
Famous was silent for a moment and nodded. "That's right. There is indeed a lost martial arts secret book somewhere in the shop. "
"Oh?" This time, it was Old Time Tea's turn to be surprised. It wasn't sure if Famous was joking or not. Although Famous should be joking, how could that explain the change in Famous's walking posture today?
Old Time Tea hadn't been to the location of the crew, so it didn't know what Famous had done that day. It only noticed some clues from the change in Famous's walking posture. However, such a change in posture required hard work. It couldn't be achieved overnight, so Old Time Tea was very confused.
Famous didn't answer directly. Instead, it asked a question, "Old Time Tea, have you heard of the Foshan Shadowless Kick?"
Old Time Tea glanced at the TV and said, "Not only have I heard of it, but I also know a thing or two about it. It's just that I can't practice it because of the limitations of the cat family. This is the ultimate technique of Martial Master Huang, and there are only three forms of it left. Coincidentally, I managed to obtain it... I heard that you and Zian encountered some difficulties during the filming of the movie, so I was thinking of imparting the Foshan Shadowless Kick to you. However, there is no quick fix, and there is no quick fix for these three forms. You will have to practice them for at least a year and a half before you can see any results... "
Famous knew that Old Time Tea wasn't lying. In its mind, Old Time Tea had said something similar. There was no quick way to learn any profound martial arts. Even if Old Time Tea taught it the three moves in reality, it wouldn't work. It had neither the time nor the place to practice them.
"What are you guys talking about?"
While they were talking, the takeout arrived. Zhang Zian sent Lu Yi Yun off and pulled down the shutter door. He heard them talking about martial arts, so he walked over.
Richard said first, "We're talking about — should we change the channel? Jeff, your favorite cross-dressing boy isn't in this movie! "
Zhang Zian automatically ignored Richard's words.
Famous felt that it was time to tell them something, so it said, "I want to tell you one thing. It's very strange. I'm not sure if it really happened, or if it's just my imagination."
Zhang Zian listened attentively as it spoke in such a serious tone. In addition, he was also very confused about Famous's amazing performance today. It was like a small universe had exploded. Zhang Zian was worried about Famous's mood, so he didn't ask.
Old Time Tea paused the TV, put the remote control in its pocket, and didn't let Richard touch it. It also listened carefully, because it felt that Famous's next words would definitely solve its doubts.
Famous looked at Galaxy, who was playing hide-and-seek with Wendy, and said, "It's a long story. I have to start with Galaxy."
Next, it systematically described its strange experience after appearing in the wax museum, focusing on the process of entering Galaxy and Old Time Tea's memory world.
Zhang Zian even forgot to eat dinner. He didn't understand the inside story until Famous finished talking about what had happened so far. It was like watching a movie.
Old Time Tea was listening attentively.
Except for Old Time Tea, Richard was asking for the remote control at first, but it slowly listened. Fina opened its eyes and also listened curiously.
After Famous finished talking, its mouth was dry. It went to drink some water from its water bowl, walked back and asked, "What do you think? Am I dreaming? "
It urgently needed everyone's advice, because it felt confused and couldn't tell which side of the world was more real.
Zhang Zian and Old Time Tea were silent. They planned to think carefully before they spoke. Famous's experience was indeed strange, but it could perfectly explain what had happened so far, including how Famous defeated the Mastiff King with Old Time Tea, and how Galaxy broke through the space barrier set by the game, etc.
Richard said whatever came to its mind, "Quack! You idiots, I have already guessed it! "
"Oh, then tell us." Famous was doubtful. It didn't trust this unreliable grey parrot.
Richard raised its head proudly and put on a pedantic look. "You are so long-winded about 'Galaxy's inner world' and 'Old Time Tea's memory nodes'. You are so long-winded and unprofessional! Have you ever heard of a Japanese term called 'Imagined Landscape'? "
Zhang Zian and the other elfins shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of it.
Seeing this, Richard was even more proud, "I think you bunch of ignorant and incompetent idiots also don't know! Let me teach you. Imagined Landscape refers to the scenery that appears in the mind, is remembered, or is described. However, the Imagined Landscape is not 100% faithful to reality. Even scenes that can't exist in reality are allowed! What did you think of when you heard this? That's right, the black box of Galaxy! That is obviously something that doesn't exist in reality, but it is Galaxy's Imagined Landscape. This is the only word that can accurately describe what Famous saw and experienced! "
Although Richard's tone was as arrogant and annoying as ever, Zhang Zian's heart skipped a beat when he heard it. He remembered the description of Famous's characteristics in the game "Pet Hunter" — "You can easily recognize the inner state of mind, and the myriad changes are always true." Could this "inner state" refer to the "Imagined Landscape"?
Learning to predict the future from Galaxy, learning martial arts from Old Time Tea … If Famous could learn something every time it saw an elfin's Imagined Landscape, then it would be amazing!
The most important thing was that Famous didn't need to spend time in reality to learn these things. It only needed to practice in the Imagined Landscape. Wasn't this the "House of Spirit and Time" in a famous comic?
The legendary protagonist template?
