Chapter 2 The Wasteland
Outside the gate of Yong'an City, Jing and Bai Yu looked at the uninhabited wasteland in front of them, their speed suddenly increased, and they began to run for a long distance.
This kind of long-distance jumping is extremely fast, but it does not consume a lot of physical strength, so Jing and Bai Yu did not buy a horse.
Otherwise, not to mention the cumbersomeness, there is also an extra mouth to eat and drink.
What can make the mirror and white feather run to the limit for a long time is naturally the credit of the exercises. The exercises they use are unique to the Shadow Gate, similar to light exercises, but not exactly.
On the ground, two lonely figures grew faster and faster, gradually disappearing at the end of the line of sight that could be seen from the gate of Yong'an City.
..... ......
"Here, is the sky outside the Ghost Clan's Great Array?" In a long distance from the gate of Yong'an City, Bai Yu raised his head and looked intently at the blue sky with white clouds floating above his head.
The sun is falling, invisible, but so warm. Bai Yu stretched out his hand, trying to hold the sun that was radiating light and heat, and then squinted his eyes and giggled.
The entire territory of the ghost clan was shrouded in black fog, and that black fog was a array, a big array. The large array that enveloped the entire northern ghost domain covered the sky, and also made the ghost people who had lived in the ghost clan since birth never seen the sun, moon and stars.
Of course, this was not the original intention of the Ghost Clan Emperor to create this great array. The ancestors of the ghost clan were the revenants of the demon clan, which also made it impossible for their cultivated bodies to be exposed to the air for a long time, especially the first few generations of the ghost clan. Once exposed to the sun, they will be burned and irreversibly damaged, and it will take hundreds of years to gradually build up this great array to protect their descendants.
It wasn't until thousands of years later, when the ghosts gradually adapted to light and heat, that the situation gradually improved. Today's ghost clan has been able to move freely in the sun for a long time, but its combat power will still drop by two or three layers. This is also the reason why the ghost clan has never taken the initiative to start a war for many years.
Looking at Bai Yu's happy look that he hadn't shown for a long time, the corners of his mouth went up, and he also smiled shallowly.
It's not that Jing hasn't been outside the ghost clan's big array, so he doesn't have Bai Yu's joy at seeing the blue sky and white clouds for the first time, but he is full of emotion.
When was the last time you saw a blue sky?, she thought quietly.
Yes, when you first met the master, right?
I still remember the master who suddenly appeared in front of her and her sister when their house was destroyed. It was like a ray of dawn that illuminated the gray earth and awakened her confusion.
I still remember that the master was dressed in black and fluttering, and with a wave of his hand, he knocked down several scavengers who wanted to plot against her, who had just turned ten years old, and her sister, who had just turned twelve, smiled at them gently, and stretched out his hand to them, "What are your names?"
At that time, Jing stared blankly at the alien man with a jade-like face that suddenly appeared in front of him, and for a while, he didn't know whether he was scared or surprised, but he forgot to answer.
Still empty pulled her to her side and said, "My name is Luo Lian, this is my sister, Luo Yi." ”
Upon learning that they were orphans, he brought them back to the Shadow Gate. It was the first time she and her sister had entered the Demon Realm, unbeknownst to her, that this might be the last time they would leave Terran territory. Because, from then on, Luo Lian and Luo Yi will cease to exist.
Instead, it is the head of the Shadow Clan, and the only two Terrans among the younger generation of the Ghost Clan: the Shadow Sisters Huakong and Mirror.
...... ......
The first encounter was in the gray area.
Now, I'm here again, but where are you, master?
Master, you promised to take us home, but you died under the thunder before you could even explain your last words......
The wasteland is still vast, in the sky, the sun and the moon rotate, year after year, winter and summer change, it seems to be the same, you and I first met.
However, you are gone and will never come back.
And I, now going to assassinate someone, have taken on a mission that may never be returned.
Time passes, things are not people.
At first, it was just naïve wishful thinking.
Smack. Tears flowed silently, towards the sun, glittering.
"Mirror, what's wrong with you?" As soon as Bai Yu turned around, he saw the scene of Mirror crying. She didn't care about enjoying the scenery anymore, ran to the mirror, and said anxiously.
You know, the mirror only bleeds and doesn't shed tears. What could make her girl, who was beaten all over her body and didn't snort, cry?
"It's heartbreaking. "Kagami doesn't want to talk about it too much. She adjusted her mood, and her face returned to calm.
"Bai Yu, in fact, you didn't need to take out that token just now on the Yong'an border. The mirror opened his mouth and changed the subject.
"That's a lot of effort. Bai Yu smiled, seeing that the mirror didn't want to mention that topic again, so he answered, "And if I hit that person, I'm afraid my sister will get her hands dirty." ”
"That way, the identity will be exposed, dangerous. Jing turned his head and glanced at Bai Yu, who was silently following behind him, a little worried.
"Got it, I'll just be careful next time. Bai Yu grinned.
Kagami sighed, "You'll always say that." However, there was no blame in his tone.
"I'll protect you, White Feather. Jing looked at Bai Yu, who had been his partner and friend for many years, and subconsciously blurted out.
Hearing this word, Bai Yu suddenly raised his head, looked at the mirror, and his smiling expression suddenly disappeared, and his complexion changed and became extremely complicated, with doubts, puzzles, ridicule, and disdain. She looked at the silhouette of the mirror, stunned. So you've been protecting me.
Protection? If you talk about protection, then what is it that you pushed me off a cliff at a critical moment the last time you went on a mission?
I wanted you to report that you were the head of the Shadow Sect and used this identity to scare off the enemy, but you refused to say it, so we almost died outside the sect, what is it?
Jing felt Bai Yu's strange gaze: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. She lowered her head, avoided the gaze of the mirror, lowered her eyelids, and covered the apology and helplessness that inexplicably crossed her pupils, as well as the trace of indifference and viciousness that followed her.
I'm sorry, mirror, you can't stand me first, then don't blame me for not remembering the old love. She said silently in her heart.
Jing was a little puzzled by Bai Yu's sudden silence, but he didn't think much about it, so he continued on his way.
The gates of Yong'an City, along with the black and white dividing line, were getting smaller and smaller behind them until they were gone.
The desert spread from beneath their feet, and the endless Gobi Desert was scattered around them, desolate and vast. In the distance, there seems to be a river coming from the sky, cutting the desert.
In the vast desert, the lonely smoke rises straight up, the sky, the sun sets, and the twilight falls on the two thin figures, outlining the lonely back, which is even more desolate.
The bicycle wants to ask the side, and the subject country lives extends
Zheng Peng out of Hanse, return to the wild goose into Hu Tian
The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river
Xiao Guan waited to ride, and he was all protected by Yan Ran
......
In the gray area where the territory of the ghost race and the human race intersected, two figures were walking south.
The wind, blowing through the vast desert, blew up the sand and dust, and also rolled up the fluttering clothes.
"We'll probably have to walk for another two days before we reach the Terran border. Kagami looked at the fiery sunset that was about to disappear below the horizon and said softly.
The wind, blowing, blew her voice away, and scattered it with a hint of unreality.
Night falls, and the whole land is enveloped.
The stars shine brightly, illuminating the dark night sky as bright as day. The moon quietly climbed into the starry sky, and the stars and the moon were shining.
"It's getting late, let's find a place to spend the night. She glanced at the sky.
At this time, it was already night, and the mirror looked up, and the sky was full of stars. She was stunned before she reacted.
They are no longer in the Shadow Gate in the Ghost Domain, but in the gray area, on the way to the Terran border, to assassinate Shao Nian, the youngest general of the Terran in the frontier.
After a brief tidying up, Jing and Bai Yu casually walked to a relatively flat place and set up camp.
The place they chose to camp was on a hillside, and when they turned their heads, they could see far away.
It is said to be camping, but in fact, it is just a fire.
The light of the fire curled and the green smoke rose in the night sky, and also dissipated in the dark night of the stars. The jumping flames set off the mirror and Bai Yu's face.
The two girls sat by the fire, but they didn't have the heart to appreciate the bright starry sky, but were expressionless and silent, each thinking about it.
In a drowsy state, the mirror closed his eyes, but he did not fall asleep. She cleared her mind and combed through all the information she knew about the assassination target.
