Chapter 64: The Aftermath
He Manzhou didn't seem to understand these words, but he felt that Bai Yicong's words were too profound.
What is illusory is real, real is illusory, it is the same as a philosophy lecture, the person who took out psychology to bluff people at the beginning was obviously her, but she didn't come up with such a big set of specious statements, and Boss Bai turned out to have the talent for MLM brainwashing.
Everything that happened at the moment was so unbelievable that He Manzhou clearly felt that everything was a problem, but he couldn't find any words to refute it for a while. After all, no matter how mysterious Bai Yicong said, the Tower of Babel was indeed in front of her, and the mysterious ancient temple in her dream really appeared.
But if you say that you believe it directly, it seems a bit too nonsense.
Not to mention that a person who has learned the scientific concept of development since childhood and deeply believes in science is just a foolish little doll, such a surreal thing is obviously a bit empty, right? What is this, you can travel back to ancient times by catching up with the four-star alignment, and the things in the dream will be real, and the Tower of Babel in ancient mythology can not only be found, but also take people to another time and space.
Many signs are simply anti-human, completely breaking through He Manzhou's cognitive category, even science fiction movies dare not shoot like this.
There were so many questions she wanted to ask, and Miss He was speechless for a while.
Whether it was how Bai Yi learned the way to find the Tower of Babel, or what kind of secret this mountain hid, she wanted to get an accurate answer. But this is obviously not something that can be explained in one or two sentences.
After a long while, she opened her mouth in a deliberate tone, picked up the most important sentence and asked.
"That'...... Did you just see something?"
"What do you see?" Bai Yicong turned his head slightly and glanced at the girl beside him.
"Ah, it's nothing, forget it if you don't see it. To Shangbai Yi's inquiry from his eyes, the answer was self-evident, He Manzhou whispered, "I just think this place is a little weird, it......'s weird everywhere."
She was silent for a while, and after thinking about it, she still didn't tell Bai Yicong what she had just seen.
First, I feel that the situation is unclear now, and it is already very confusing to encounter such a strange situation in the deep mountains and old forests, and there is no need to add another supernatural incident to make people panic. Second, He Manzhou's heart was in a mess, and he couldn't even progress the step of organizing language, even if he wanted to speak, he didn't know how to speak, so he was left silent.
It's a pity that He Manzhou is a person who can't hide his emotions after all, and he hasn't learned how to disguise.
Even if she doesn't say it, her body is quite honest, and those careful thoughts are revealed from the micro-expressions, only she is still pretending to be fine, and she opens her mouth to say "It's okay". So no matter how casual it is, it can't stand Bai Yicong's small emotions about He Manzhou, and he has always been particularly concerned about the details.
Seeing that the girl frowned slightly, and her delicate little face was full of entanglements of wanting to speak, Bai Yicong groaned for a moment and said bluntly: "If there is anything, you can say it directly." β
"I didn't ...... Hey, I'll tell you when I get down the mountain later. β
Since He Manzhou was reluctant to say it, Bai Yi never looked into it further. He nodded slightly, his black marching boots stepped over the mud puddles and water trails on the ground, and walked towards the ancient temple step by step, and in the process, he took He Manzhou's hand very logically.
This subconscious action made Miss He, who was thinking in place and competing with herself, obviously stunned for a moment, until the temperature from the palm of her hand penetrated into her heart little by little, as if all the anxiety and uneasiness were smoothed out, and she finally felt at ease.
Just now in the illusion, there is no such touch.
And at this moment, He Manzhou could clearly feel Bai Yicong's temperature, his thin and slender fingers were interlocked with his ten fingers, which was something that could really be grasped. Just like when he just went up the mountain, he warmed her with his arms, and the umbrella shielded her from all the wind and rain, which was just a simple small act, but it gave He Manzhou great psychological satisfaction.
It's like, with Bai Yicong, no matter how terrible the situation is, you can face it.
"What's the matter, is holding hands still addictive?" He Manzhou was secretly happy in his heart, but he muttered in a low voice, half tentative and half coquettish, "What is the relationship between us, just take advantage of me without greeting me, and play hooligan?"
"Then you go by yourself?" Bai Yicong asked.
"What?" He Manzhou couldn't believe it.
"Are you going by yourself?" Bai Yi repeated as if nothing was going on.
He Manzhou: "......."
At this time, Miss He finally knew what it meant to dig a pit for herself.
Co-authoring a straight man is really a straight man, and he can completely talk about other people's pink bubbles directly in one sentence, which is really powerful.
He Manzhou said in his heart, am I saying this kind of thing at this time to make you let go, do I don't want you to hold hands, and I want to go by yourself? I didn't even point out that you could realize that I was handing you a message, and I wanted to carry out difficult things such as clarifying the relationship, even if you could say a few sweet words, no matter how hard it was to coax me.
Dare to love your old man is really trouble-free, I take retreat as advance, and you really retreat.
He Manzhou thought about it angrily for a long time, and felt that the psychological satisfaction of her talent was really too naΓ―ve, seeing that Bai Yicong was striding forward like a meteor with her brother as if she was nothing, and even loosened her hand slightly, she only felt that she was not angry, and she had a bit of a posture of one Buddha being born and two Buddhas ascending to heaven.
"What?" Bai Yicong asked.
"It's all pulled, that's all. In the end, He Manzhou picked up the sky that had been talked about in the cracks of the ground as if nothing happened, and began to find the steps for himself with great difficulty, "The mountain road is so difficult to walk, the two of us are more or less a care,"
Looking at the girl's aggrieved appearance, the corners of Boss Bai's lips were hooked undetectably.
He Manzhou's eyes fell on him, and he just saw the smile with banter and playfulness, just like a big-tailed wolf who calculates the success of a man...... At this point, poor Miss He can be regarded as understanding what she has experienced.
It turned out that Fang Cai's embarrassment was not accidental, and Bai Yixian was not just really stupid to that extent.
This is purely a one-man show by herself, and Bai Yi pretended to be confused from the beginning, so she watched the show on the sidelines.
He Manzhou: "......."
Why didn't I find out that Bai Yicong had this kind of bad taste earlier, it turned out that he was deliberately bullying people, right, is it fun to be such a whole person?
Fortunately, Boss Bai is well aware of the truth that you can't bully people too hard, he chuckled lowly, and this time he didn't continue to pretend to be stupid, but continued unhurriedly: "Since I brought you here, no matter what identity you are, I must protect you, this is a matter of principle." So relax and follow me obediently, if you really encounter danger, I will bear it for you, you know?"
He Manzhou pursed the corners of his mouth, he was really too lazy to talk to him again.
Now I know that it sounds so good, as if it wasn't you who just bullied people.
What's the matter, just a few words of chat, also bring a stick first, and then send a sweet date, really I'm so good at coaxing?
He Manzhou thought about it angrily, but he felt a little warm in his heart?ββ but as long as he learned to squeeze sugar from Bai Yicong's hard mouth and soft heart, He Manzhou felt more and more that it was actually a very interesting thing to figure out between the lines of his unspoken mind, as if he could see his sincerity through the layers of ice.
So much so that even if you are angry, you can't get angry.
The gate of the ancient temple was half-hidden by hay, and the wood underneath had long since decayed, with a dirty and unsightly black. The dark green moss tangled around the wooden stakes, and under the damp characteristic of the heavy rain overnight, there were faint water marks, like rotting grass soaked in a mud pool, and every place exuded a disgusting smell.
"Let's go inside. β
Bai Yicong said this, and then he shook the water droplets on the umbrella and placed the umbrella on the edge of the wall of the temple gate.
"Good. β
He Manzhou replied in a low voice, rarely obediently just following behind Bai Yicong.
For some reason, she felt something familiar here, as if it was dΓ©jΓ vu.
However, this is the first time she has come to Dock City in more than 20 years, and she has never heard of this barren mountain and wild range, and the so-called familiarity is very bizarre. She barely suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and only explained that it was because the trance caused by her messy dreams was so strong that the whole person was a little abnormal.
After stepping through the temple gate, there was a panicked darkness all around. The dilapidated wooden door did not block the wind, but it obscured the little moonlight left, and suddenly the sight was deprived, and everything became dark. Bai Yicong held a flashlight, and the warm yellow light shone through, so that everything gradually became clear.
The stone statues enshrined in the temple had long been broken, and it was difficult to tell which god it was for a while, but there were clearly visible cobwebs in the corners, and rain was dripping from the roof of the shed. The dilapidated walls of the ancient temple cut off the rain and thunder outside, but they could not isolate the terrible sound of the wind whistling in.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier outside.
This ancient temple clearly looks like it has fallen into disrepair, but there are still objects to be enshrined. Bai Yi took out the lighter from his coat pocket and lit the candle on the desk, and the faint smell of fireworks came, and the shadowy candle flame illuminated the silent darkness, and also made the terrible scene in the temple faintly clear.
The ruins and ruins everywhere were broken and irregular, as if they had suffered a great catastrophe, and they were destroyed without leaving room for destruction. The outline of the rubble can no longer be seen, and it can only be judged by the rich color on it, which once enshrined a certain god, and now it is her former dharma that is in tatters.
I don't know what happened here, since there is a temple, there must be believers, how did it end up like this?
Seeing the rubble everywhere, He Manzhou's temples hurt like pins.
As soon as she bit her tongue, she could barely restrain the sudden palpitation, and the hand holding Bai Yicong unconsciously buckled tighter.
"Do you know what gods and Buddhas are enshrined here?" He Manzhou turned his head slightly and asked softly.
In the afterglow of his gaze, Bai Yicong's expression did not change at all, and his cold eyebrows and eyes seemed to have condensed frost and snow, sealing all his emotions.
Bai Yicong's voice was very low, and his voice was faint.
"This is the god of Loulan. β
These are just six simple words, but they have great significance, and many hidden mysteries are about to come to light.
