Chapter 31: To the City of the Ten Directions
The continent is vast and desolate, often a small town populated by a vast wilderness. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the two had just walked out of the town, and they didn't walk for long, and there were no people in front of them soon.
Ah Ling stopped blankly.
Since she "died", the world in front of her is still the same world, but it always seems that something is different. For example, since just now, some miserable voices have been echoing in her ears that are too miserable to speak.
It was like crying. However, it is not as clear and clear as the actual cry. Therefore, the slightest voice is hidden. However, when I got out of that market, I lingered in my ears, and I couldn't get rid of it.
The real cry always has a tone of "woo woo" and "bang bang", but that voice, when you listen closely, you can't tell what kind of strange tone it is, it can't be described in words, and it can't be imitated with any kind of sound that human beings can make. In the wind, in the air, the sound loomed, as if it were everywhere. It's so sad that it's like pulling in my heart with a very blunt saw. It hurts, but it doesn't really hurt, and it doesn't really hurt to hear clearly. But one at a time, it made people's hearts extremely uncomfortable.
And that's not all.
Ah Ling looked at it. Between this vast world and earth, she couldn't see it before, but now she can clearly feel that there is something very warm and comfortable, which is slowly passing. Little by little, it becomes thinner.
"Brother...... What's that?" Ah Ling couldn't help but ask. The dissipation of that kind of thing made her feel endless fear and panic in her heart. Even more frightening than her own disappearance.
"Don't be afraid. What you see is the luck of this land. That's all. The man's voice was appropriately reassuring.
Ah Ling's face was dazed: "Luck, what is luck?"
The man pursed his lips. The priest's job was originally to communicate with the gods, and it was her duty to sense the luck of heaven and earth. It's just that this little priest grew up in such an isolated place, and he is more ignorant than others.
He said: "Luck is the vitality of this land, and there is hope. If luck is gone, there will be no more creatures on this earth to cling to. β
Ah Ling was dumbfounded, and she didn't understand what she heard. But even if you don't understand, you know that this matter is definitely not trivial. However, she also can't understand what kind of "big ke" method is.
"It's like this. The man casually stretched out his hand and pointed ahead. Ah Ling followed his outstretched arm and looked at the sky. As far as she could see, the ground was dry, trees were dead, and even the bones of some unknown animals were scattered around. The world is so desolate that people are simply disheartened. Ah Ling couldn't help but shudder, like a lost little animal, and subconsciously leaned towards his side.
"That'...... Why does that luck fade away? Is there any way to prevent it from passing away? β
"Huh. She asked ignorant and innocent, and the man couldn't help but laugh: Do you want to save the common people so quickly? The priest really deserves to be a priest. It's a pity that what consumes the luck of the earth is the endless killing and fighting of the world. If the war subsides one day, this luck will slowly recover one day. Otherwise, when all human beings are wiped out, perhaps this land will be redeemed.
"Brother. Ah Ling listened to his laughter, which was full of ridicule, sadness, and Sensen's chill. She couldn't help but hesitate in her heart. A pair of big black and white eyes looked at him in a daze.
Between the man's eyes, the only trace of emotion was immediately hidden. He looked down at Ah Ling, his eyes were dark gray, and the bottom of his eyes was the usual silence and gentleness. It's like the earth where no grass grows. Not to mention that Ah Ling doesn't know how to read words and feelings, even if she knows this well, it is difficult to see anything from his eyes.
"Where do you want to go?" the man said in a low voice.
Ah Ling came back to her senses and naturally replied: "Shifang City." β
"Ten Directions?" he muttered meaningfully, repeating it. It seems to be unexpected, but it seems to have been predicted. He glanced at Ah Ling deeply, this glance seemed to be full of pity, but it was actually indifferent. It's a pity that Ah Ling talked about Shifang City, his eyes were full of expectations and nostalgia, and he didn't pay attention to it at all:
"Hmm. Brother Jian said, Ah Die is there. So, I'm going to find her. β
"Ah Die?" The lady of Long Pan's right-hand man is named "Sima Die". It's not hard to know.
"In that case, I'll give you a ride. "I really didn't bother to tell this kid that Shifang City was due north, and the first town she went to was Siping Town, which was due west of the mainland. According to her progress, it is very likely that she will reach the end of heaven and earth, and it will be too far to go to Shifang City.
Besides, even if he really arrived at the place of Shifang City, I am afraid that this little priest would not have the courage to step into it at all......
"Really?" Ah Ling didn't know what this beautiful brother was thinking, but when he heard that he was willing to go with him, his heart was full of joy: "Brother, are you really going with me?" A pair of big eyes looked at him with a pair of eyes, and his eyes were extremely clear. Sure enough, it is a small animal that grows up in the mountains, so clean, pure, and unstained.
A complicated look crossed the man's eyes. In comparison, this kid is simply simple to another extreme.
The man raised his head and let out a clear whistle. Ah Ling only felt that the moment he raised his head, even the curvature of his jaw was so good that it took his breath away. Before her lost spirit returned, suddenly, she heard a loud whistling in the distance, which seemed to be in harmony with the whistling of her beautiful brother. It was like a thunderclap that suddenly filled the entire cloudy sky. Ah Ling looked at the sound in surprise, only to see a small silver dot in the distance appear on the ground level, only a blink of an eye, but it had suddenly stopped in front of his eyes.
"Ahh
Ah Ling patted her chest and stood firm in shock, and then she looked fixedly: I saw that the animal in front of me looked similar to a horse, but looking at the silver-white scale armor covered by it, you could know that it was definitely not a horse. In terms of body shape, it is more toned and tall than a horse, more than a body taller than Ah Ling, and two long whiskers of a foot long float diagonally behind the two sides of the mouth, which seem to be curled and relaxed. A pair of charming eyes were lowered and looked down at the petite girl in front of it.
Ah Ling sluggish: "......"
"It's called 'Sudden Star', it's my mount, it's very good-natured, don't be afraid. It's a long way to Shifang City, and let it take you the rest of the way. β
"Sudden Star......" Ah Ling looked directly into its eyes in a daze. Was it her delusion? She felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart when she saw the animalβshe seemed to feel its will. In its haughty and beautiful eyes, she could see its closeness and tenderness to herself.
"Sudden Star, I, my name is Ah Ling...... Hearing her beckon, Suddenly Star lowered his head and licked her face gently. As if in response. Ah Ling itched and laughed, her body was arched by it and swayed left and right, and she hurriedly held its big face with both hands, and then stood still again.
The man watched from the sidelines, and a faint smile appeared on his face: the sudden star is not an extraordinary animal, but a divine beast. In the past, it was domesticated by priests. Therefore, it is not surprising that they are one man and one beast at first sight. You know, mythical beasts never get close to humans. When ordinary people see it, they still have to bow down and prostrate their heads. It only takes a sneeze to kill thousands of people in an instant, and mountains and rivers collapse. How can ordinary people be qualified to ride and drive?
"Let's go. β
Hearing his master's words, Sudden Star hissed softly, lowered his head and picked up Ah Ling's clothes, threw her onto his back with a "whoosh", spread his hooves and turned to the north to "trample". The man walked slowly.
Ah Ling lay on the back of the sudden star steadily, watching the scenery around him retreat rapidly, and knew that the speed at which his group was moving forward was extremely fast. However, looking at the appearance of Sudden Star and the beautiful brother, they didn't have the strength to run at all. In that posture, walking leisurely was like walking a horse in the backyard. How did she know that since Sudden Star was a divine beast, it was not a problem to travel through the clouds, but if she hadn't let her ride, if she wanted to go to Shifang City, or anywhere on this continent, it would only be a matter of moments for this beautiful brother.
Ah Ling has her own understanding: "My brother doesn't know how long he has been a ghost. I can walk so fast without eating. I don't know how long it will take for my 'new ghost' to learn to be like my brother's 'old ghost' and be so capable?"
Come to think of it, it's really full of fighting spirit!
The itinerary is not a one-day trip. Although the man himself is not an "old ghost", he does not forget to take care of the "little ghost" around him. On the way, he encountered a town market, and he didn't need to eat, drink, or rest by himself, but he always remembered to buy some food for Ah Ling. If there is an inn, it will also stay for one or two. However, most of the time, I still sleep in the wilderness. And if he can't find food in the wilderness, he won't bother too much. As for Ah Ling, that is also the virtue of being at ease with what happens, if you have to eat, then eat, if not, she will not be unforgiving. However, when she occasionally encounters a hare and grass chicken that is lost in the field, she will not be polite. Catch it, cook it, and eat it. Anyway, there are no less scourges of animals in the mountains, and she is also familiar with it.
So there was nothing to say all the way.
Although the distance to Shifang City is long, if it is an ordinary horse, it will take ten days and a half months. But even if the Sudden Star is a casual stroll, it is not an ordinary Marco. In just a few days, the two of them walked to the foot of Shifang City.
The more he traveled in the direction of Shifang City, the more intense the whimpering sound he heard in Ah Ling's ears. It was even mixed with more and more roars and wails...... Even if it was gradual, Ah Ling couldn't help but become more and more pale, and her small body couldn't stop trembling with fear.
"So, you're still going to go?" asked the pretty brother, who was as cold as the morning mist, without any consolation, more than once.
"Go. Ah Ling never hesitated to nod: "Because Ah Die is there." β
