XVI. Night Walking
The notice was sent by the student association, and it was directed to the three groups of people who won the autumn festival, and there was not much content on it, only the time and place of the meeting were written.
"Twelve o'clock tonight? It's not like it's been a few hours......"
After looking at the time estimate, no matter how much he thought about it, it was not enough to make a paper puppet prototype, and after a little consideration, Zhang Longqian wanted to say something, but Feng Xing spoke first: "Let's do it when you come back, it's okay, it's still too late anyway." ”
After saying that, Fengxing's figure disappeared, leaving only a palm-sized piece of human-shaped paper floating in place.
A little confused as to what Feng Xing meant by "in time", Zhang Longqian bent down and picked up the piece of paper and looked at it, and found that it was intact, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Can the paper puppets of the Yin and Yang family be reused?" ”
"You're going to take a good look at it?"
Feng Xing's voice sounded in his mind, Zhang Longqian looked at it attentively, only to find that although the paper puppet was intact, the special power fluctuations wrapped around it had completely disappeared, so it was just an ordinary piece of paper, and it was impossible to conjure spirits again.
"I see, although the purpose is different from ordinary paper puppets, they are all consumables......"
Nodding and putting the piece of paper on the table, Zhang Longqian was about to ask Feng Xing what he meant by "in time", but he heard Feng Xing say: "You have a rest if you don't have classes in the afternoon, the Yiyi Mountain is not stable, since you want to go, it is better for you to recuperate." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Longqian remembered that Qiyi Mountain is not a peaceful and peaceful place, but a strange mountain known for all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts.
After this interruption, Zhang Longqian forgot what he wanted to ask Fengxing just now.
It's like Feng Xing deliberately said this in order to make her forget that question.
Half past eleven in the evening. Zhang Long, who had cleaned up a little, came to the outside of Xiaocheng to meet Ji Haiyun, and then followed the teleportation to the meeting place.
- The Doctor's Medicinal Forest, which is where the entrance to the spatial passage of the Yiyi Mountain is located.
Yijia Pharmaceutical Forest is located behind the Yijia Teaching Building. It covers a wide area, and you can find almost all the recorded medicinal materials in it, and there are also many very rare plant books, which are only open to medical practitioners on weekdays, and will only be open to the public for a short time after the autumn festival. However, even though it is "open to the outside world", it is only for the six victorious people and the emcee who also has the duty of "witnessing". There was also the president of the cadet guild who accompanied the overseer, and the two elders who were in charge of opening the passage, and the others were still not allowed to enter.
The two appeared in a clearing with a diameter of about seven or eight meters in the center of the medicine forest. In the middle is a round bluestone of about two meters, which looks like a flattened football, about half a meter high, and the smooth surface is as smooth as a mirror, with a faint blue light and green light flowing alternately. It feels mysterious and calming. At the edge of the clearing, a circle of one-man tall wind lanterns was lit. The light of the fire was so strange that the shadows were strange, and outside the open space was a dark and secluded medicinal forest, and the strange thing was that there was no light at all, and it was impossible to see what it looked like.
Although it was half an hour early, Zhang Longqian and Ji Haiyun were still the last to arrive, and the others had already arrived.
Wang Juehui and Song Lin stood in the corner, far away from the others, without any expression. Liao Lei and Cang Yan were in the direction they were directly opposed, one with a gloomy face and the other with a cold face. They are all the same as always, Zuo Ling and Nangong Piao are standing next to Qingshi and chatting softly, there are two people standing beside them, one is a small man, more like a child than the young man, even the big hood on the black windbreaker covers his face, and he can't see what he looks like, and the other is a young man with a long body with a melancholy expression on his face.
Feeling that the young man was a little familiar, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but look at it twice, and then she couldn't help but jump out of the corner of her eyes when she remembered it.
He was the one who led the men who appeared at the academy immediately after the factional fighting broke out and carried out restoration work on the academy.
Captain of the Presbyterian Guard.
Seeing Zhang Longqian and Ji Haiyun appear, Zuo Ling and Nangong Piao both leaned over, noticing Zhang Longqian's gaze, Zuo Ling looked at the two people who were standing still, and said, "Let me introduce, this is the captain of the escort team who is responsible for opening the passage this year, Yingye, the captain of the second team, and Zifeng, the captain of the third team." ”
Zifeng, sure enough, it's him.
Thinking secretly in his heart, Zhang Longqian smiled at the two of them, and Yingye, who was wearing a hood, nodded, did not speak, and did not know what the expression was, but the young man Zifeng smiled and returned the salute, but with the melancholy on his face, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a bitter smile, and it seemed that his expression was similar to when they met before.
After saying hello to Liao Lei and Cang Yan from afar, Zhang Longqian glanced at Wang Juehui and Song Lin, who were hiding under the shadows as much as possible, and said to Zuo Ling: "Since everyone has already come, why don't you open the passage in advance?" ”
Zuo Ling smiled, shook his head and said: "The opening time of the passage is not something we can decide, according to the calculation results, this time it can only be opened at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night with a special spell, and no one can do anything if you miss that time." What's more, the president hasn't come yet, how can he go first? ”
After glancing around, he didn't find anyone else, Zhang Longqian nodded and said no more, and waited patiently with the others.
Liao Lei didn't talk much, and now he was about to enter the long-awaited Yiyi Mountain, he was even more silent all of a sudden, and Cang Yan, who kept a subtle distance from him, was even more impossible to speak casually, which made Zhang Longqian, who leaned over and wanted to talk to the two, regret it a little, and couldn't help but look at Ji Haiyun beside him with a wry smile, fortunately, at this time, Nangong Piao ended her chat with Zuo Ling and walked over, so she beckoned to Nangong Piao and found a topic to talk to him.
Fortunately, Nangong Piao is a person who can take on any topic, which makes Zhang Longqian breathe a sigh of relief, of course, after all, he is going to go to Yiyi Mountain now, and after a few words, Feng naturally turned to this related matter.
“…… I've heard that there are so many kinds of medicines on the list that they need a lot of special containers to sort and store them, and it took me a lot of effort to prepare those things......"
"Huh? Why didn't you see what you carried? Where do you put it? ”
"There are too many of them, it's very inconvenient to bring them with me like this, and I don't have storage utensils, so I put them there in Yan."
Following Nangong Piao's words, he looked at the dark red ring on the little finger of Cang Yan's left hand, Zhang Longqian realized that if he picked a lot of things, it would be very inconvenient to have this kind of thing with storage function, thinking about it, she looked at Liao Lei, and was about to ask him if he wanted to help him collect things himself, but he spoke first.
"I have it."
Seeing Liao Lei casually pull out a small blue pendant from the collar, Zhang Longqian immediately nodded and stopped the conversation, but Liao Lei glanced at her again, her eyes stayed on her earrings for a moment, as if she was thinking about something, and then as soon as he turned over his palm, a two-foot square box appeared, handed it to Zhang Longqian, and said, "You take this." ”
The box was a light goose yellow, it looked very warm, and I don't know what material it was, but it was obviously not ordinary, Zhang Longqian was stunned for a moment and waved his hand: "Uh...... I can't ask for it. ”
"It's not for you, it's just for you."
"But I don't know what it's for......"
"This is a five-flavor box that specializes in medicinal herbs, and can store a variety of medicinal herbs. Since you have the fate to go up the mountain, why don't you also collect some precious medicinal materials, I will guide you, just ...... Your thank you for helping me make my wish come true......"
Although the last sentence was said very lightly, Zhang Longqian still heard it clearly, she didn't expect Liao Lei to say such a thing, she couldn't help blinking unexpectedly, but seeing Liao Lei frowning and looking away, her face was much gloomy than before, and she couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart.
I'm afraid this "fulfilling one's wish" refers to more than just going to the Wing Mountain, right?
Looks like she's going to have to worry a little more. (To be continued.) )
