In the night, there is no moon, but there are stars.

The night sky in the Northern Desert always seems wider and quieter.

Mo Yan and Jing walked under the night sky, and continued to go north according to the route in their memory, but the terrain in the desert did not change all the time, and it was night again, so they couldn't quickly discern the direction, but fortunately, they met the cavalry that came back from the north.

According to the lieutenant general, Jian Jiu was not dead, but only injured, and there was even a possibility of a battle with the border forces, so the two who had planned to stop and rest for the night could only speed up and continue to move forward.

Late at night, the night wind was cold and dry, and the two of them came to the place where the dragon bones appeared, but they didn't see Jian Jiu, nor did they see the powerhouses of any other forces, and those dragon bones had also disappeared, except for the yellow sand, it was still the yellow sand.

After walking around quietly, he said firmly: "This is indeed the place." ”

Mo Yan nodded, "There is no trace of a fight here, if there is a strong fight, it is impossible for the wind and sand to be buried in such a short period of time." ”

Quiet frowned, and there was some kind of speculation in his mind, so he was a little worried.

Mo Yan seemed to know what was going on in Jing Jing's heart, and said, "There is another possibility, that is, the elders of the academy knew about the movement here, came to meet Elder Jian, and then left here with the dragon bone. ”

Quiet asked, "So what do we do now?"

Mo Yan thought for a while, took out a map that he bought at a high price when he was in Tianji City, looked at it for a while by starlight, and then spoke: " From here to Tianmu Mountain, there are three roads, the first is also the route planned by the academy at the earliest, and now it has become a battlefield, and the second is where we are standing now, before we were forced to make a detour because of the sinking sand, although there is no more sinking sand, but because of the collapse, there is a steep slope in the east, and it is still impassable, so there is only the last one left, which is the one that Elder Jian said before. ”

He pointed to a point on the map, "Elder Sword said before that he would rest in the Condor Gorge, so we can only know the specific situation if we go to the Condor Gorge first. ”

Quietly nodded, "Although we have a map now, it's night, it's easy to go astray, and we don't have any experience of surviving in the desert, so I don't know if anything will happen, so I suggest stopping first and waiting for dawn before continuing to hurry." ”

Mo Yan nodded and said, "That's fine, I believe that after Elder Sword and the academy converge, they will go south to find us, if we go astray, we just miss Elder Jian, and we will be in trouble." ”

Rushing late at night, there are indeed a lot of inconveniences, this, the two of them on the way back to the deep experience, from here to Tianji City is only half a day's journey, the two of them almost went wrong a few times on the way, this is still because they have walked once, and from here to the Eagle Gorge, the fastest time is a day, just the distance is half more than to Tianji City, plus the two are completely unfamiliar with this journey, even during the day, there may be deviations, let alone at night.

After seeing Mo Yan's agreement, he sat quietly on the yellow sand, after a day of roasting, there was still residual temperature on the yellow sand, which was very comfortable.

She reached out and straightened her somewhat messy hair, and asked with a smile, "I've always been curious, how did you come here from Yanjing alone?"

Mo Yan also sat down, thought about it, shook his head and said: "I forgot, I just remember that I walked for a long time, and I encountered several assassinations on the way, and I almost starved to death on the snow field several times, but somehow, I still walked to the academy." ”

Quietly puzzled: "Since you are from the Mo family, why did the Mo family let you come alone?"

Mo Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know, this is what my grandfather meant." ”

He took an object out of his bosom and handed it to Quiet, "Before leaving, he gave me this thing so that I could go to any army in case of danger." ”

In the center of the brand, there is a black dot swimming slowly, and the gauge of the black dot movement is just enough to form a "ink" character, and the cycle repeats.

Jing Jing handed the sign back to Mo Yan, "This is what you showed them earlier?"

Mo Yan nodded and said: "The Tang Kingdom is different from other countries, the army of the Tang Kingdom has been in charge of the Mo family for a long time, and the royal family is only responsible for politics, and the Mo family will not interfere in any affairs of the Tang Kingdom in peacetime, and the royal family will not interfere in the affairs of the Mo family in wartime." ”

Quietly frowned: "It's the first time I've heard of such a way of governing the country. ”

Mo Yan put away the sign and said with a smile: "Because of this incident, there have been a lot of problems, I heard my grandfather say before, the royal family suppressed the Mo family very badly before, not only took back all the military power, but also detained and exiled many Mo family members, at that time, it happened that the Song State annexed the Zhao State and the Yan State with the help of the Chaotian Empire, and then raised troops to the north, in just half a year, most of the territory of the Tang State fell into the hands of the Song State. ”

Speaking of this, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he couldn't help but look at Quiet.

Sure enough, Quiet's expression was a little sad, but soon he put on a smiling face and asked, "What about after that?"

Mo Yan shook his head and said: "My grandfather didn't say it, but I heard the elders of the Mo family say that it was because my grandfather entered the imperial city with a knife alone, and then the emperor changed people, and all the military power of the Tang Kingdom also returned to the hands of the Mo family...... After that, it took almost three years for the Tang State to beat the Song State army back to the south, and at that time, many people died in the Tang Kingdom, and many people died in the Mo family, and my father ......"

He was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and comforted: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to let you remember the past." ”

Mo Yan smiled lightly, "It's okay, the children of the Mo family were born for this, anyone can die, my father is the same, and I am the same." ”

Mo Yan looked quiet and asked, "By the way, the dance that Senior Sister danced last time, I saw it in "Zhao Guozhi", and ordinary people can't learn this dance, so Senior Sister shouldn't be an ordinary Zhao Guoren, right?"

Quiet didn't answer, but sighed: "The country is gone, what does it matter who it is, if it weren't for Teacher Yue, who happened to appear at that time, I would have died as early as when the Song State destroyed the Zhao State, so Teacher Yue renamed me Quiet, just to let me forget all the things before and be a quiet ordinary woman." ”

Mo Yan nodded, and did not continue to delve into this issue.

The two were silent, but they didn't know what to say.

In some ways, Quiet is very similar to Mo Yan, who have not had many friends since they were children, and I don't know if this is because of their lonely character, or because of their lonely character, so they have no friends.

Maybe it's because they're all the same people that they can talk so much together, and because they're all the same people, if a topic is broken, they don't know how to continue talking.

After a long time, Mo Yan spoke: "Thank you Senior Sister for the previous incident, but I hope Senior Sister will not do this in the future." ”

was stunned for a moment, and soon knew what Mo Yan was talking about, and said with a smile: "Teacher Yue often says that doctors are benevolent, you and I are both students of the academy, of course I can't leave you alone, don't say that I can't escape if you die, even if I really survive, then I won't be able to cross this hurdle for the rest of my life, besides, aren't we all living well now?"

Mo Yan lowered his head and said in a low voice: "For the sake of others, maybe it's okay, but for me, it's not worth it, because I ......"

Quietly looked at Mo Yan, who suddenly became low, and stretched out his right hand, ready to pat him on the shoulder, but hesitated halfway through. She withdrew her hands, put her hands together, hugged her knees, and said with a smile: "I think anything, before it comes, should not give up on yourself, I heard Teacher Yue talk about your situation, and I also know that Teacher Yue has made a lot of efforts for you, I have known Teacher Yue for more than ten years, and I have never seen her so concerned about one thing, and no one else has given up, how can you give up first?"

Mo Yan looked up at the silence.

Under the starlight, she was smiling, and her eyes were as gentle as the stars in the sky.

"Senior sister, thank you. ”

Quietly stunned, she naturally looked at Mo Yan, her eyes were facing each other, and she couldn't help lowering her head.

Maybe it's because the light is too dim, so I can't see the moment I lower my head, the crimson cheeks.

Mo Yan stood up and looked up at the starlight in the sky, "I never intended to give up, I was just afraid that others would be good to me, and I was afraid that I would disappoint those who were good to me, so from childhood to adulthood, I would never take the initiative to become friends with others." ”

He smiled bitterly, "Or rather, no one wants to be friends with me at all." ”

He turned to look at the quiet who had already raised his head, and said with a smile: "So thank you, senior sister, for being willing to treat me as a friend and willing to do so much for me, and I will also work hard not to disappoint you." ”

Quietly smiled and said, "I believe you, and I have something else to tell you, in the Hongmeng Medical Dictionary that I have seen, there is a record of the Seven Peerless Spirit Veins. ”

Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, looking at the quiet eyes, a little incredulous.

It can be seen that Jing Jing did not say this deliberately to comfort himself, which means that in the "Hongmeng Medical Codex" that Jing Jing saw, there is indeed a record of the Seven Absolute Spirit Veins.

He just thinks it's too much of a coincidence.

What I saw was information about the last four pages of "Ghost Town", and the five fragments were all related to the Seven Absolute Spirit Veins, and even more coincidentally, the content that Jing Jing saw was also related to the Seven Absolute Spirit Veins, and he happened to be the Seven Absolute Spirit Veins.

Thinking of this, Mo Yan quickly connected these things together.

First of all, he came to the Boundless Academy, which involved the dean of the academy who had disappeared for a long time, and then Jian Jiu went to Yanjing, and after he came back, he organized this experience, and he happened to meet this keel and saw the content recorded on the keel, and these contents happened to be related to the seven peerless spirit veins.

Could it be that all of this was arranged by the dean, whom he had never met?

The more Mo Yan thought about it, the more shocked he felt, what kind of person was this dean, what kind of powerful existence was he, and what was he arranging all this for......
