Chapter 167: No self-dispatch
At dawn, Bai Ya brought a few buns back to the two girls, and I don't know which of the unlucky shops that was about to open stole them for him.
They stood on a high, flat rooftop and looked out into the distance. There are all kinds of boxy buildings of different heights. Back in this capital with only white buildings, they don't feel at all at home. Come to think of it, they've only been away for a season, so what else can they expect to change here.
"When are we going to find the god of incense?"
After that, Ao Yan took a bite of the bun. The hot oil slid down the side of her hand, making her teeth grin and almost throwing the bun out. This meat can be given for real, she has never seen such an honest shop.
"Can't go today." Bai Ya glanced down, "I went to the shop over there and touched it, and I heard that both families mentioned that today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month." β
"So what? Do we still have to prepare for the New Year? β
"Ah...... Truly. Liu Shenghan remembered, "The first and fifteenth days of each month, starting from the beginning of the new year, is the time for believers to meet the god of incense. It would not be a good thing if we rushed over and rushed to catch the opening gate of the incense garden and the believers rushed in. β
Ao Yan finally remembered. She shoved the last mouthful of buns in her left hand into her mouth, raised her right hand to her mouth: "I see." In that case, we'll have to go later. β
"We're fugitives now, we have to hide. What a hassle. β
Bai Ya complained casually, stuffed the bun into his mouth, and then clapped his hands. Liu Shenghan looked into the distance with some amazement, frowning slightly, such an expression has been frozen on his face, which is inevitably strange.
"What's wrong with you?"
"When I was in prison, there was a prisoner who told me something."
When asked about her, she said calmly. There was no processing or polishing, and she said all the words, including how the cellmate had come to such a point, and what he had learned, and the fact that the Xiangyin cult had fished and killed the mermaids, and mixed their fat with the dead.
Although Jun Aoyan can be regarded as a cross-battlefield and has seen a lot of big scenes, he still has no appetite after listening to these terrible words said by Liu Shenghan. The fresh, hot meat bun tasted like chewing wax in her mouth.
It was completely dawn, and the hearts of the three of them were still gloomy. Bai Ya leaned boredly against the stone fence of the platform, and did not speak, not knowing what he was thinking. Jun Aoyan waved his hand occasionally, as if he was holding a Mo knife, and made some stabbing or slashing movements towards the air, as if he was afraid that his bones would rust. Their position is very high, this is supposed to be an abandoned building of some nobleman, and the courtyard is covered with a thin layer of dust, and no one will find them. Jun Aoyan paced back and forth for a while, and then said:
"I want to go down and have a look. It's so uncomfortable to stay here and not be able to move. β
Her personality is very "wild", they all know it, and they can't sit still. What's more, no one dared to mention the accident in Shiyue Mountain first, which made her even more restless. What's more, all their equipment and luggage are not in their own hands, and they have no sense of security at all. Perhaps, they have all been sent to Qianmipo.
"You're going to be exposed, and we don't have anyone to wipe your ass."
"No, it won't." Jun Aoyan untied the layer of armor on his body, and then draped down his hair that was tied up high, "I will act alone, and I will not be a target." Wait until I'll put this on again
A layer of rags, a little dust on the face, it is not like now. I've done this many times. I used to hang out like this, and no one in the army noticed it. β
"The beggar is not as tall as you."
"You...... Who said to pretend to be a beggar! It's just an ordinary peasant woman. I don't go to crowded places, I just wander around in the remote suburbs. β
ββ¦β¦ Whatever you want. β
So Jun Aoyan wrapped his hair, used the rags that he picked up casually on the ground and barely shook off the ashes, and pulled the hem of his clothes up and stuffed them into the waistband of his pants. Just looking at the back, she really doesn't look like her at all. She threw her light armor to the ground, climbed over the railing, and leaped from a low building.
Only Bai Ya and Liu Shenghan were speechless.
The sun rose a little and was shining straight on the rooftops. It's not hot, but it's glaring. Bai Ya kept his back to the sun, leaning against the railing, and never said a word again, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart. After a while, Liu Shenghan also said:
"I'm going to take a walk around the city and hear the news. You're not going to leave here for a while, are you? β
"Who knowsβand then you won't be able to come back like Aoyan."
Bai Ya finally spoke. He rolled his eyes, a little disdainful.
"No, it won't."
"To be honest, I don't want to mind you, but it's not a good idea to spread it out right now."
"I know...... I'll be back as soon as possible. β
So Bai Ya stopped talking. He kept his head down, not wanting to get his eyes caught in the sun. He just waved his hand weakly, signaling Liu Shenghan to get out of the house if he wanted to leave. She smiled helplessly, and said one last sentence before leaving:
"If I can meet Aoyan, I'll come back with her. What to eat, we bring to you. β
Bai Ya sped up the speed of waving her hand, as if urging her to go quickly. Liu Shenghan didn't need to look at it, he could guess that his face smothered in his knees must have frowned, full of impatience.
No weapons, no bags, no money. Just wandering aimlessly in the deserted suburbs, Jun Aoyan felt bored. She didn't dare to mention the events of that dayβfurther than the death of the queen of the Song Shen Kingdom. Even after all these days, she still couldn't easily accept the fact that Qi Huan was no longer by their side.
Did he really have a way, or, just talk, so that they could easily escape? She didn't know, she only knew that without his noise, the atmosphere between the remaining few people was always boring. She really couldn't stand it, otherwise she wouldn't have left those two so easily. Bai Ya must have guessed that if she stayed any longer, she would inevitably have to talk about the topic of Qi Huan, so she didn't care about running around at such a dangerous time.
There was no one in the area where she walked, perhaps the believers were preparing to meet the god of incense in the city. In the middle of the woods, Ao Yan picked up a long, straight trunk, which was very easy to touch. She tried to swing it twice, and the sound of the branches bending slightly through the air was very nice. She couldn't help but sigh. After wandering around for so long, the sky has darkened, and it is estimated that it is time for dinner. But she wasn't hungry and didn't want to go back.
Ao Yan continued to walk forward, and suddenly heard a slight human voice from the jungle. This made her a little nervous, after all, she hadn't seen anyone in a whole day, and it was still a little scary to suddenly meet someone in such a remote place - she was a fugitive, and the city was probably full of their wanted notices. But...... Could it be that I heard it wrong? Rabbits in the morning, in the afternoon
The squirrels are about to scare her out of the way.
Ao Yan clenched the wooden stick that he was about to throw away, and quietly approached that side.
There was only a pitiful glimmer of light left in the sky. Winter always gets dark early, and the process of blackening is also very fast, and it seems that skimpy skipped dusk because of the warmth of orange.
"You shouldn't have contacted me at a time like this." Liu Shenghan sighed softly, "It's troublesome and dangerous. I don't want you to know too much about this. β
"Don't talk about that yet. We have ...... How long has it been since we met? Seven years? Eight years? It was a strange female voice, "Well, admittedly, to God, it's just a snap of a finger." But I'm worried about you. I think it's necessary for me to go to the Southland. β
"No, don't come here."
"Why? The barrier is gone. Otherwise, you wouldn't have spoken to Muyue-kun, and I won't be able to ...... today."
"It's too chaotic here." Liu Shenghan raised his voice slightly, "The people over there need you." There are more impermanences that have disappeared than I expected. Maybe I'm here too early and I don't know who else is missing. β
"No...... This happened before you. β
"What?" Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, "I don't know ......"
"Because the news was suppressed."
"Why? This...... Well, forget it, I'll think for myself. But now that the barrier has been broken, can you detect the impermanence that has lost contact? β
"Nope. Although the largest barrier is gone, there is still no trace of it. β
"This ...... Wait, I have an idea. β
"What thoughts?"
"Confirmation is yet to be kept. I'll look for opportunities. β
"I believe in you. Also, I know something. But it may not help you much. β
"That's it."
"The others are indeed insignificant, but in a sense, Gandharva and Kinnara do come from the Heavenly Dao. I knew about them before I came to humanity. But they are not orthodox gods, they are just musicians around God. One of them holds a flute, and the other holds a Xun. The flute is Qianminpo's own belongings, made of ordinary jade, but the Xun of Kinnara was given to her by the gods, and it is carved from a rare and complete silk agate in the heavenly realm. With her skill, the sound that comes out of that kind of thing should have an extraordinary effect on everything. They have always been dissatisfied with their status and status, and the two of them worshiped their righteous sisters and brothers, and escaped from the heavenly realm together, so they came to the world to do evil. The incense burner of Gandharva was also stolen from the gods. The sin of theft and defection gave them no chance of returning to the heavenly realm. Even if I go back, I will only face the judgment of the true God......"
Liu Shenghan thought thoughtfully: "So they know what the real Heavenly Realm looks like, but they will never really extradite people to the Heavenly Realm...... I understand. Presumably, the pseudo-gods here have closed and controlled a lot of spiritual veins, also to avoid contact with the true Heavenly Dao. β
"Maybe so......" the female voice paused, letting out a long sigh, "I'm worried about you. Maybe I can go over and give you guidance and help, and I can help. β
"We'll find a way. Until then, you can just stay over there. Liu Shenghan shook his head slightly, "I can't get more people...... Your intelligence is important to us. Either way, thank you, Tsukizuki-kun. β
"By the way, there's a lost guqin ...... there"
