Chapter 45: The Night Before the Storm
At night, the farthest watchtower from the Yumen Pass of the Great Wall.
Mulan writes a briefing on her explorations and gives it to the patrolling guards to take back to the Wall, where they guard the watchtower until orders are given.
Su Lie lit a bonfire and began the vigil.
Baili Shoujo took back the vision device, hugged the gun and squinted, and said, "Sister Mulan, the Great Wall is also very peaceful today~"
"Aren't there any enemies like sandstorms or demon horse thieves?" Mulan looked at the flickering bonfire and asked.
Su Lie, who had been patrolling around, came back and said, "No, there is nothing around here, it's very calm." ”
Mulan was very melancholy, "It's just that there is nothing, and it feels strange on a calm day." Such a strong demon seed will definitely attack us. ”
Shou Yue hugged Xuan Ce, who was asleep, and asked curiously: "Sister Mulan, is the Eye of Nirvana really strong?" ”
Mulan asked rhetorically, "Isn't a demon seed capable of creating a sandstorm to attack the city strong enough?" ”
If the demon seed that can create a sandstorm is given a chance to grow, it will surely destroy the desert in the clouds again, and the sandstorm will spread to the Great Wall and even Chang'an!
The Empress once ordered that the demon seeds, which pose a great threat to the Great Wall, must be eliminated.
The armor who closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep opened his eyes and nodded, "Understood, what now?" ”
A look of determination flashed in Mulan's eyes, "Find the Eye of Nirvana and kill it." ”
It must not be allowed to get a step closer to the Great Wall!
"But it didn't attack the Great Wall, why?" Su Lie was quite curious about this demon seed.
"Probably...... Is it because it doesn't know the Great Wall exists? Mulan's eyes lit up and she felt that it was very likely to be so.
After a pause, she added, "Until it's certain, it's all speculation. In this way, let's go to Jinting City tomorrow to investigate and see if the Eye of Nirvana is still there. ”
"Okay." Shou Yu and the others nodded.
Not far away, King Lanling, who was hiding in the dark, saw Mulan resting against the wall with her sword next to the bonfire, and smiled.
Armor looked at Mulan's side face, and also rested against the wall with his sword, but his attention was attracted by the petal scale flowers falling in the wind.
The petal scale flowers fell in the campfire, and the brilliant light was fleeting.
Armor thought, is winter coming?
Little sister, where are you now?
At this time, hundreds of miles away, in the ruins of the village where the demon seed had attacked, Luna followed Bodhidharma to meditate, and Li Bai lit a bonfire and looked at them with a funny look with grass in his mouth.
In order to prove that they could survive in the desert without dry food, these two guys set out at noon until now, and did not eat any dry food he had brought.
He raised his eyebrows and asked with a grin, "Do you really not eat?" ”
"Under ......"
"I ......"
Bodhidharma and Luna opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other as soon as they spoke, nodded at Li Bai, and said in unison: "I want to eat!" ”
Li Bai laughed, quite smiling at the demeanor of looking at the world.
The moonlight is slightly cool, crescent lake.
Hirsch spun the metal rod and pressed the switch at the top, and the transparent screen projected onto the surface of the water to display strings of codes.
It was not as easy as she imagined to unlock the cage that marked the DNA sequence of the Eye of Nirvana, she did not have that permission, so she could only rely on the star map G19 to go through the back door.
Time is running out for the Eye of Nirvana to be free, and I hope he can fulfill his wish in the remaining time.
By the way, fulfill your wishes.
Guiguzi sat beside her, learning from Li Bai to hold the grass, looking at Hirsch who was deep in thought, Mengqi who was already asleep, and sighed.
These two people are really not worried about the coming storm at all, are they really unprepared at all?
"What are you thinking?" Hirsch put away the metal rod and asked the restless Guiguzi.
Guiguzi said: "I'm wondering, why doesn't the Eye of Nirvana attack us, this matter has something to do with you, right?" ”
"Hmm."
Guiguzi glanced at Mengqi, who was sleeping heavily, and asked, "I'm panicking now, aren't you going to explain?" ”
Hirsch smiled and nodded, "Okay, what do you want to know?" ”
"Nirvana's Eye, what is it?"
"Obviously, the demon seed."
"He's not the same as the Demon Seed." Guiguzi said, "Don't lie to me, I see something you can't see. ”
Although he only glanced at it from a distance, the arm of the Eye of Nirvana also had a shackle of golden inscriptions, exactly the same as the one on Hirsch's hand.
"I don't know, but he was a human being...... Ah, no, like me, a super-intelligent life form, but in some ways it's not like me. "He's strong," Hirshey said, "and he was created to protect some miracle in the desert of the clouds." Maybe you've been imprisoned for too long and need to vent hard. ”
Guiguzi groaned slightly, "The combat effectiveness of the Great Wall Guards and the Eye of Nirvana is not in the same class? ”
Hirsch nodded, "Well, they can't fight the Eye of Nirvana. ”
"Don't help them?"
Hirsch rolled his eyes, "How can we help, we can't help them, we can't protect ourselves, and there is the Great Wall, don't worry, the Eye of Nirvana can't cross the Great Wall." ”
The Great Wall is one of the twelve miracles, it is not so easy to be destroyed by the Eye of Nirvana, she doesn't care what the Eye of Nirvana is going to do, as long as she does what she promised, she won't care so much about things that are not planned.
How can I have time to think about it so much, I have to go as soon as possible...... Forget it, don't think about it!
Guiguzi looked at the distracted Hirsch, sighed, and asked, "Hirsch, ask you something, don't lie to me." ”
"Tsk, is my trust in your heart so low?"
"Not really." Guiguzi tearfully complained: "You didn't tell me anything, so you kidnapped me from the King's Canyon." ”
“emmmm…… You ask, I'll tell you absolutely this time. Hirsch silently looked away, her heart empty.
"Are you sure you didn't kill anyone, I really didn't roll down the dunes?" Guiguzi remembered the events of that day, thirty swords rained down from the sky, slicing the horse thieves who attacked them to pieces.
"Not really, I swear." Hirsch was helpless, she couldn't kill anymore, and the shackles on her hands limited her.
"But the dream was so real that I always had an ominous premonition."
"What did you dream about?"
Guiguzi told Hirsch what happened that day, and Hirsch was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
Finally, she said, "Someone has crossed time and space, come back from the future and change the past, and at the same time affect you. ”
"Well, why does it affect me, not you?" Guiguzi suspected that Hirsch knew at all, but he didn't tell him.
"How do I know that?" Hirsch scoffed, she had a guess in her mind that was gradually becoming clear.
Perhaps, he is really the embodiment of the will of this world, as he guessed.
What should he do when he awakens?
"Forget it, I don't want to know, so be it." Guiguzi said lightly, threw down the grass in his mouth, leaned on Mengqi with his staff, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Hirsch looked at the moonlight, lay on the rocks by the lake, plucked the petal scale flower in her hand and held it up in the moonlight, the desert wind rose, blowing the flower in her hand, floating into the deep darkness of the distance, the night sky was full of stars.
Tomorrow is a day worth remembering.
