Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 46: not simple

   Hearing Jiang Baimian’s answer, a middle-aged man with long black hair and loose black robe found a place by the campfire and sat down casually, looking very free and easy.

   The blond, blue-eyed woman in a gray-blue robe didn't care too much and sat down, as if she didn't worry about Shang Jian Yao and others hiding their evil intentions.

   This self-confidence, such an attitude, made Jiang Baimian laugh:

   "We look so harmless?"

  Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong had similar thoughts at the same time:

   These two people are obviously emboldened!

   "Isn't this just discovered the ruins of an old world city? Everyone is rushing, how can there be time to kill each other?" The middle-aged man stretched out his hands and warmed up on the bonfire. "How do you call it?"

   Jiang Baimian returned to his original position and answered calmly:

  "Jiang Baimian.

   "We come from a certain force and go to the black marsh wilderness to complete certain tasks."

   She took the initiative to reveal her identity, but she didn't fully explain it, hoping to make the other party scruples, and everyone will spend the evening peacefully and part ways.

   And the reason why she agreed to the two people opposite to come to the bonfire to communicate with each other is mainly because Shang Jian Yao’s awakened abilities are limited, so close range is definitely better than long range.

Even if there is also an awakened person on the other side, the key target will definitely be Jiang Baimian who behaves like the boss. In this way, Shang Jianyao has a chance-even if the other party can use something like "Hungry Ghost Road" With range-type ability, at this distance, Shang Jianyao, who was already prepared, had time to complete a counterattack and make a corresponding impact.

"It can be seen." The middle-aged man had no doubts about the identity that Jiang Baimian had revealed on his own initiative. "No matter in terms of looks, body shape, skin, clothing, or weapons, you are not like wilderness wanderers, haha, Only the little girl, I am not sure."

   He refers to Bai Chen who is roasting rabbits.

   Jiang Baimian was about to reply "We are not young anymore", the middle-aged man has continued:

   "My name is Du Heng, Mu Tu Du, balanced Heng.

"I am a historical researcher and an antiquities scholar. I am ashamed to say that although I have joined the Hunter's Guild for more than 20 years, I have always been a novice before, and I have only recently become official. Hey, I have not received several commissions. , And more use their resources and news to complete their own research. No, I’m here when the ruins of an old world city that has never been explored are discovered.”

   He kept smiling all the time when he spoke, and he seemed very kind.

   But his answer increasingly made Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others dare not despise:

   An antiquities scholar and historical researcher who seemed to only brought a pistol, dared to sway on the dust alone, explore the ruins of the city, and lived to middle age-this in itself shows that the other party is definitely not simple.

   The blonde woman introduced herself:

   "My name is Galoran, a Taoist priest."

   Although she can speak greyish, some of her pronunciation is a bit weird, which makes Shang Jian Yao and others feel that the style is not too right.

   Galoran smiled lightly and continued:

   "I came here because there are a lot of people walking this way, so I will follow along and take a look."

   "Really casual..." Jiang Baimian commented unceremoniously.

   Galoran responded with a smile:

"if not?

  "Since the destruction of the old world, many people have understood a fact:

   "Although we humans call ourselves higher creatures, in front of the world and destiny, we are like fallen leaves in a violent wind..."

While    was speaking, she pointed to the sparse trees in the distance:

  "You can only dance with the wind, and you can't decide where you want to fall.

"Since you can't resist the arrangement of fate, it's better to give up this idea, move with the wind, change your mind, see the scenery on the way, find the existence of Tao, and then distinguish the truth from the false and get rid of the shackles completely. , In the eternal years.

   "As the saying goes, people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the heavens follow the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."

   Looking at such a beautiful blond woman talking in front of her, Long Yuehong and others were a little confused.

  They can understand every word of the other party, but they are quite at a loss if they are connected as a whole.

   In the end, they can only conclude that the other's acting style is:

   Stay at ease.

   "I probably understand." Jiang Baimian nodded seriously.

   Du Heng glanced at Galoran thoughtfully, then pointed to the rabbit and said:

   "When I came here just now, I saw two hares. This shows that the prey here is not too scarce. Why did you only catch one? So many people..."

   Upon hearing this question, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong's faces flushed to varying degrees.

   Jiang Baimian glanced at them from the corner of his eye, then smiled and shook his head:

   "There is a good life in God."

   Du Heng showed a suddenly realized expression:

   "Are you members of the Order of Monks? Or are you taught by Crystal Consciousness?"

   "No." Jiang Baimian explained casually, "We just met a mechanical monk from the monks' order, and there was a conflict with him and a big battle."

   Du Heng opened his mouth slightly and thought for a while and said:

   "Did that monk wear a red robe?"

   "Yes." Jiang Baimian did not hide it.

   Du Heng and Galoran once again looked at the four-man team.

   After the former looked back, he smiled and said:

   "You guys are still pretty good.

   "As far as I know, the probability that those mechanical monks wearing red robes in the Order of Monks are awakened at the same time is not too low."

   Galoran nodded, saying that he had heard of it.

   "He is." Jiang Baimian affirmed the speculation of the opposing two.

   She looked around, without letting her eyes rest on anyone, and then smiled and asked:

   "Two, do you seem to have a deep understanding of the Awakened?"

  Since Du Heng said, "Isn't it good to have a chat?" and Galoran also advocates peace of mind, she is not polite and begins to seek information that is absolutely rare to ordinary people.

If the other party doesn’t answer, she certainly won’t force it. If she answers, she will consider splitting the rabbit’s legs. Anyway, the four of them never thought about feeding on such a small prey. The main event is energy bars and compressed biscuits. No more military cans.

   Du Heng touched the beard beside his mouth:

   "Oh, this will pass me."

   While he said so, he showed a clear smile.

   Before the blond and blue-eyed female Taoist Jia Luolan spoke, Du Heng triumphantly added:

"However, I have known several awakened persons. They told me that the awakened persons are also seeking and pursuing the new world in their hearts, just as everyone on the dust is looking for the door to the new world in reality, hoping to No longer hungry, no longer plagued by diseases and aberrations.

   "Yes, the Order of the Monks refers to it as "The Pure Land of Bliss"."

   Shang Jian Yao listened very seriously, and seemed to have some understanding.

   At this time, Galoran interjected in a soft expression:

   "The mechanical monks in the Order of the Monks who wear red robes have a certain probability of entering the Sea of ​​Origin."

   "Yes, "Origin Sea"! They mentioned this term." Du Heng tapped his thigh.

   Jiang Baimian listened quietly, and asked thoughtfully:

   "If you cross the'Sea of ​​Origin', where will you arrive?"

   "I don't know." Galoran responded calmly.

   Du Heng smiled, did not answer, but did not say that he did not know.

   Jiang Baimian thought for two seconds, then asked:

   "Where did you enter the Sea of ​​Origins?"

   Galoran looked at the jumping crimson campfire and said:

   "Everyone has different names there."

   At this time, Du Heng smiled and interjected:

   "The more recognized one is:'The Hall of Stars'."

   Shang Jian Yao's eyes moved slightly, his expression unchanged.

   "That's it." Jiang Baimian nodded slightly, "I haven't contacted a few awakened ones, and I don't know much about them."

   After finishing speaking, she did not give Du Heng and Galoran a chance to speak, and turned her head to look at Bai Chen:

   "How is the baking?"

   "It's almost there." Bai Chen took back the branch with rabbits.

   "I'm a guest from afar, so I'll divide some for the two of them." Jiang Baimian ordered.

   Bai Chen knew how rare the information he had just heard was, and he did not resist at all. After letting the roast rabbit dissipate the heat, he tore off his hind legs and handed them to Du Heng and Galoran respectively.

  -She has been wandering on the dust for so many years, and this is the first time she has heard of terms such as "the sea of ​​origin" and "hall of stars".

   Du Heng was not polite, reached out his hand to take it, grabbed the top of his leg bones, shouted and ate it hot.

   "Yes, it's baked just right..." As he ate, he vaguely praised.

   Galoran was more gentle than him, pinching the low-temperature protruding bone, bit the rabbit meat in small mouthfuls.

   At the same time, Bai Chen divided the remaining roast rabbit into four portions and put them in the lunch boxes of his own and others.

   Shang saw Yao took a bite, UU read www. uukanshu.com thinks the meat is indeed very woody, but it has a more fragrant feeling than the meat dishes inside the company.

   Long Yuehong was in charge of guarding the surroundings, watching eagerly, unable to enjoy it immediately.

   After eating that bit of rabbit meat, Jiang Baimian saw that Du Heng was sucking the remaining aftertaste fingers in an imageless manner, and smiled:

   "Du, sir, didn't you say that you are a researcher in history and have a lot of knowledge?

   "Then what do you know about the newly discovered ruins north of Yuelu Station? Do you know which city it corresponds to in the Old World?"

   Du Heng took out a crumpled handkerchief, wiped his hands, and laughed:

  "I don’t know. Many materials of the old world were completely lost during the era of its destruction, including many high-precision maps.

   "But I can be sure that the newly-occurring city ruins are absolutely abnormal and have great research value."

   "Why do you say that?" Jiang Baimian asked on behalf of Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao and others.

   Du Heng looked up at the sky to the north:

"When the old world was destroyed, many people in the towns and villages around the city survived, but no one has ever mentioned or tried to explore the ruins of the city. Well, it was passed back by the hunter who discovered the ruins. intelligence."

   Regarding this, Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen deeply agree-Tian Erhe in Shuiwei Town was so young, they both ran back to the city to find their parents.

   "Such details show that the ruins of the city are definitely not simple." Du Heng gave the conclusion again.

   As soon as his voice fell, there was a rough and desolate roar from the far north:

   "Woohoo!"

   In the silent night, it was like a nightmare coming.
