127. Walking on the road, asking questions in the heart (I)
Blue fumbled for a moment from his bosom and took out a blue spirit stone and set it in the end of the artemisia in his hand. When the boat artemisia re-entered the water, the current naturally divided and went as it pleased, pushing the boat in the direction of Arthur's City. The sky is dark, and the sunset is the stage for seabirds, and the seagulls in the sky are getting lower and lower, and the tips of their feathers occasionally cut waves, and they show off their slender wings, flying closer and farther away towards the sun.
As the fishing boats got closer to Arthur's City, many others could be seen returning to port in the evening, some singing melodious tunes that were also flying like seagulls over the sea.
"How long have we been away?"
"About two and a half days. Blue answered Lin Ziyue's question.
Qian Qiu almost didn't jump off the boat suddenly, first scolded in his mouth, and then looked at Lin Ziyue in horror: "It's been so long, the boat won't leave!"
"Actually, the time is just right, and you are the steward, even if the Qian family's ship of the Baolai Chamber of Commerce lives here for half a year, it is impossible to go away without taking you away, and those stewards will be cut down by your family. ”
Qian Qiu rubbed his head with a bitter face: "But I'm afraid that I will be cut off by those uncles when I go back now......"
"Blue, do you have any other spirit stones? No more, about three for each attribute, just take it back to Qianqiu, let's just say that we have encountered a pirate's treasure spot, but most of the things are damaged and trapped by the mechanism and the high tide for a long time, and we barely came out today." Lin Ziyue made up the story with an understatement.
Blue took out a small bag from his arms and threw it directly into Qian Qiu's arms, without looking at Qian Qiu, but said to Lin Ziyue, "Lord Lin doesn't need anything?"
"What kind of shouting are you......" Lin Ziyue raised her eyes to look at him: "What kind of adult? Do you want a villain to pop up? Just call me Lin Ziyue." ”
"That's absolutely not good, using the word 'you' is already my limit, let me call you by your real name, I will be very ashamed. ”
Lin Ziyue didn't like Bruna's meaningful smile very much, so she had to turn her head and no longer look at him, but at the seagulls and fishing boats in the distance, there were two fishing boats that were familiar with each other, and people who knew each other on two fishing boats were greeting, meeting where to go for a few more drinks at night, chatting about who sold goods yesterday and got a lot of copper from the merchant yesterday, the recent tide is always too urgent, and I have to come back earlier tomorrow.
Lin Ziyue was a little sour, seeing that she listened to others chatting about trivial matters in life and gossip in the city with envy in her eyes, Meng Li sat down a little and blocked her body in front of her: "The more you look at it, the easier it is to regret it." ”
"The path I chose is very difficult, I just enjoy the small happiness of others, and I don't regret my choice......" Lin Ziyue said this, retracting her gaze, after all, it was all blocked by Meng Li.
"Lin Ziyue, since you already have a direction to move forward, you can't be confused, because it's dangerous. You yourself are aware of your previous situation, and if it gets out of control again...... At least I have to admit that I don't have the ability to subdue you, and neither does Old Yan. Maybe the shadow might do something, but if that happens, you'll both be in a bad mood. ”
"I'm so stressed. Although Lin Ziyue said this, she smiled very easily, and the afterglow of the sunset was reflected in her eyes.
"If only you could keep this heart on your mind. Meng Li also smiled slightly, but it was obviously forcibly squeezed out, and he was still worried. Because what he said before was indeed the truth, if Lin Ziyue really lost her heart and completely exploded in emotions like that day, who could stop her? Xuanyuan Yu would definitely be injured because he was reluctant to do it, and Xuanyuan Yan and his own situation would probably be suppressed by Lin Ziyue, and if he wanted to face that kind of demonic momentum, he was afraid that only the level of strawberries would do......
Meng Li noticed Lin Ziyue's thoughtful expression, and said again: "When you talk about pressure, I am also very stressed. Always get stronger and catch up with you. ”
"Have I become stronger?" Lin Ziyue looked at him a little stunned.
Qian Qiu suddenly interrupted: "The moon god has always been strong!"
Then he was stared at by two people, Blue looked at them from the side, and the immature face of the young man was obviously also a young man, but there was a sense of care and relief unique to the elders, looking at the relationship between these young people, he suddenly took off the mask he had worn in the performance roles over the years, and returned to the role of the royal mentor at the beginning.
Just looking at it like this, you can feel the future and hope that they still have in their hands.
……
Lin Ziyue turned into four people, Blue didn't go to get anything, when Lin Ziyue asked him, he just smiled and pointed to his chest, where there were a few iron rods that could form a triangle to control the temple, Lin Ziyue understood that that thing might have its own storage effect, and the spirit stones that Blue took out before were all taken out from it.
deliberately slowed down his pace and let Qian Qiu and Meng Li walk in front, Meng Li noticed Lin Ziyue's actions, so he specially pulled Qian Qiu to gossip. Lin Ziyue pooped
Take advantage of this time to ask Blue, "What is that thing you took with you?"
"It's the control center of the temple. Since we're all out of there, it would be nice to have that place abandoned completely. After the control center is taken away, the inside will automatically close the barrier, and the people outside will naturally not be able to enter without the control of the people inside, and the tide and rising reef bushes will be covered on all sides, and the passage will not be opened until this thing is brought back. ”
"Is there any other use for this control center? other than to store things. ”
Blue hesitated, but finally told Lin Ziyue the truth: "This thing is an artifact, and it is similar to your cane." ”
Lin Ziyue's eyes lit up at first, and then they were full of doubts: "But how could this thing be left in Ahimi? There should be residents on Skebia who survived to fight the monsters, right? Didn't they take such an important thing away?"
"This thing was given to me by a high being who resembles a god, and no one knows where it came from, so I used it as a foundation to build my own laboratory, and then my entire laboratory and the volunteers who were preparing the experiment were thrown off by the violent shock of the volcanic eruption shortly after the experiment, and finally landed on the mountain, so we transformed the mountain together as symbiotes. ”
"What the hell is going on in those spaces?"
"It's screening. The first layer, survival is the most basic, and there will be a replica to interfere with that layer, but it is only a test of the bottom line of this person's ability. The mirror space on the second level is two replicas, and they are free to choose whether to kill or rescue the innocent entrant, and the prohibition in the forest is teleportation, in which the rules will change according to the level of intelligence shown by the person inside. ”
"The third layer is choice?"
"That's right, but the original intention of the third layer is to ......" Blue looked at Lin Ziyue with a smile, "to test that person's heart, courage, and life and death." If you pass the first or second floor, no matter what the means, you must be qualified, because we have also raised the difficulty to the limit. ”
"I'm afraid I'm a little worse on the third floor...... But your judgment doesn't mean much to me. If someone can pass all the tests, you're going to let him join the symbiote, won't you?"
"Yes, that kind of person is qualified. It's a pity that we've never met anyone who has successfully passed the third floor, because of all these years...... Only Blue's ancestors rowed the boat into the confines of the temple to escape the enemy, and eventually one of his children would be sent in, which was the last agreement between our souls. ”
Lin Ziyue shook her head: "I won't pity you, because you are to blame, but I will pity those volunteers, will they think that everything will end up like this?"
"The experiment was originally reversible, but when we left Skebia, we wouldn't have any energy support from the spirit beads, otherwise we wouldn't have waited until now...... You'll have a chance to take us. ”
"You are just you, and you don't represent what everyone thinks. ”
Blue's eyes were firm: "But I used to be a member of the symbiote, and after so many years of soul sharing, we have long since been separated from each other. ”
Lin Ziyue still shook her head and didn't say anything more, but Blue didn't plan to let her go: "I understand what you mean." Isn't my doubt yours?"
Lin Ziyue's eyes fell on Meng Li's back, looking at him holding Qian Qiu's shoulder, as if chatting about how to deal with Xuanyuan Yan and Xuanyuan Yu's investigation after going back.
"Other people's decisions are other people's after all, you are optimistic about the road under your feet, no matter how many people are behind you, as long as you don't step on the air, they will be fine. And ......" Blue also looked at Qian Qiu and Meng Li's backs: "I think they are enough to pull you." ”
Just when Blue wanted to say something more, a spatial crack suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Ziyue, Blue subconsciously grabbed her and dragged her back a little, but Lin Ziyue waved his hand at him. The next moment, a person came out of the crack in the space, dragged Lin Ziyue into his arms with a black face, and stared at Blue vigilantly, this person already held the dagger in his hand, as long as Blue took another step forward, he planned to do it directly, but Blue just looked at him with a smile, obviously his appearance was still that swarthy youth, but his temperament was like a far-reaching ancient well, and his eyes looked back at this person who suddenly appeared.
Lin Ziyue was a little helpless: "It's okay Ah Yu, we have been delayed on the road for a while......"
"Two days! Is this really a delay? I thought you guys had been tricked out by the main system...... If my brother hadn't given me a three-day deadline to die, he would have sensed that you weren't dead...... I'm worried!"
Lin Ziyue hugged Xuanyuan Yu's waist, obviously not wanting him to worry, but when she heard that he was a little tempered now, she felt very happy: "I'm sorry...... You're going to be very uncomfortable, aren't you? But we're really fine, and I'll tell you when we get back, and I want to go back and rest now. ”
The corners of Xuanyuan Yu's eyes jumped, and he patted Lin Ziyue's back to comfort her while sighing: "You can actually be coquettish? My God, what did you encounter? You haven't been replaced by someone else, have you?"
Then he was pushed away, and he received a kick on his calf, Lin Ziyue held his hand and warned him viciously not to follow, and ran to the front to listen to Qian Qiu being preached by Meng Li. Blue Qiang held back a smile, and he also walked a few steps quickly to keep up with Lin Ziyue, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Yu.
"You're the one who took them to the vein, aren't you?"
"Yes, is there anything please?"
Xuanyuan Yu's eyes were as sharp as a sword unsheathed: "Are you really an Ahimi?"
Blue was still smiling: "No, I'm a Skerbian. ”
After saying that, Blue wanted to move forward, but Xuanyuan Yu was not in front of him this time, but a dagger out of the sheath.
The polite smile on Blue's face was gone, "What do you mean by that?"
"That's what I should say. ”
"My relationship with her ...... You can be a god and a believer. ”
"Do you think I'm going to believe that nonsense? I know very well what is happening on that floating island, so I don't believe that any inhabitants will survive a place like Ahimi. ”
Blue sighed: "Why bother? What does she have that I need? I can give myself what she can give me, I just follow her to ask for peace of mind, why should young people be so impulsive?"
Blue's tone made Xuanyuan Yu feel even more uncomfortable, such an old tone came out of a young man's mouth, but there was not much sense of disobedience, which showed that he was not the original owner of this body, and reminded Xuanyuan Yu of the memories when he was occupied by K, which was not pleasant at all.
So Xuanyuan Yu narrowed his eyes, as if he might make a move at any time: "This body is not yours?"
"It's a clone, but the original owner didn't end up ...... much. ”
Before the last few words were finished, Xuanyuan Yu's dagger stabbed backhand, and Blue's tone and attitude really made him uneasy, especially thinking of Lin Ziyue and Qian Qiu Mengli's disappearance in the past few days, there was not even a single message, and he obviously said that he would rush back the next day at the latest, but he was dragged for so long, and it definitely had something to do with this person of unknown origin and peculiar words and deeds. Xuanyuan Yu didn't plan to kill him, but he had to let him suffer some hardships before tying him up and bringing him back, and it was absolutely impossible for such a person with a mysterious background to go back with Lin Ziyue freely. Followers?
At least Xuanyuan Yu couldn't believe these words.
Blue's eyes became more and more meaningful, looking at Xuanyuan Yu's expression as if he was looking at a book intently, as if he wanted to uncover all of Xuanyuan Yu's words, and glimpse the sense of instability and panic behind him, which made Xuanyuan Yu more and more uncomfortable.
The dagger fell on Blue's shoulder, but Blue just quickly took out a thin stick from his arms, Xuanyuan Yu couldn't see the material or function of the thing, but it was such a thin stick, blocking in Blue's hand, making the dagger completely unable to move forward, Xuanyuan Yu could see that Blue didn't even use much strength, but it was very easy to block his attack. What came from the thin stick was not power, but some kind of spatial attribute that transcended the illusory world, which surprised Xuanyuan Yu, who was most familiar with spatial energy.
The teasing look in Blue's eyes grew: "So why bother?"
The sound of the dagger and the thin stick intersecting was very crisp and melodious, as if someone had struck a triangle, Lin Ziyue subconsciously turned around and saw such a scene.
She didn't have the anger to come up, grabbed Xuanyuan Yu's arm, and then complained to Blue: "You can't stop playing with him! Ah Yu is very serious in some aspects! You are hundreds of years old and don't know how to let ......."
Blue immediately bowed respectfully: "Okay, Lord Lin." I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but I was not very thoughtful. ”
Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan Yu raised his eyebrows again: "What is this?"
Meng Li and Qian Qiu also walked over, Qian Qiu was so dazed that he didn't know why the two were fighting, but he was very excited to see that Blue seemed to be going to fight with Xuanyuan Yu.
Meng Li patted Xuanyuan Yu on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go back and see Lao Yan and explain to you together." This guy is safe at the moment, and hundreds of his souls are still in Lin Ziyue's hands. ”
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yu's killing intent dissipated, but his vigilance and disgust did not decrease, he felt that the pretended deep temperament on Blue's body was very annoying, probably because it was too similar to C.
Blue didn't speak, and followed Lin Ziyue quietly, if it weren't for the fact that his eyes were too bright and his clothes were too simple, he looked more like an entourage who accompanied the rich lady, Lin Ziyue said him several times, and he resolutely refused to change his attitude, so Lin Ziyue could only let him go.
When he arrived at the small building where the Baolai Chamber of Commerce settled, Xuanyuan Yan was obviously relieved to see that several people were safe and sound, and then saw Xuanyuan Yu's eyes staring at Blue and the way Blue followed, he squeezed his eyes at Lin Ziyue and earned a disdainful look.
After recounting all the things that happened on that enchantment island, Xuanyuan Yu and Xuanyuan Yan were silent for a long time, they all looked at Blue and didn't speak, Blue naturally hung his head slightly, just now Lin Ziyue and Meng Li were in the process of narrating, he also didn't say a word, it seemed that he was really just a waiter, but that deep temperament full of wisdom never disappeared, and he never put on the appearance of a young man who was enthusiastic at the beginning.
"I don't recommend ...... Or rather, I don't approve of him staying. Xuanyuan Yu expressed his opinion very firmly.
Xuanyuan Yan patted his younger brother: "Don't look at him too emotionally, for us, his joining will only make things go smoothly, since the resources of the Sky City Laboratory are in his hands, and his clan is in the hands of Lin Ziyue, I think this balance is enough." If he wants to leave, he doesn't have to follow us across the mountains and seas to endure hardships, right?"
Although he knew that Xuanyuan Yan's words were reasonable, Xuanyuan Yu still stiffened his neck: "No, it's not good, even if he can double our combat power!"
Blue seemed to have a natural conflict with Xuanyuan Yu: "I have never listened to Lord Lin's advice alone, whether you want me to follow or not has nothing to do with me, that is purely your own idea." ”
"No just no way!"
"Ah Yu, why not?"
Xuanyuan Yu was blocked by Lin Ziyue's words, and glanced at her with a complicated face, and he walked out of the room: "Whatever you want." ”
Lin Ziyue chased after him and grabbed Xuanyuan Yu in the corridor, but he didn't chase him out. Not wanting the conversation to be heard by the people in the room, she deliberately kept her voice down: "I allowed him to follow because I was going to Skebia, and I made a promise to his people, and I wanted him to be a witness to all this." ”
"What are you doing in that Sky City? There's nothing but monsters on it now. ”
Lin Ziyue's eyes were very serious, far beyond Xuanyuan Yu's imagination: "I want to leave a backup for myself, I don't care about the resources of Sky City, although the temptation of those spirit beads is great, but I went there to investigate some kind of trace." ”
"What do you mean?"
"V, Sky City is a city under the joint efforts of C and V, but the son of heaven with a long life and a noble personality will turn into a demon after the spiritual source withers...... There's something wrong with my cane, and I want to go there and see what caused them to become monsters, maybe I can try to circumvent them, so I need Blulu to be the guide. ”
Xuanyuan Yu nodded after a while: "I know, then I'...... There will be no more objections. ”
Then he immediately raised his eyebrows: "But you let him stay away from you!"
"Are you ......?"
"I'm jealous!"
