Chapter 43: The Silk Road - The Messenger's Heart Is Persistent
"I was not born when you were born, and I am old when you were born."
"I hate when you are not married."
This is the last thing King Xiliang said before he took the Forgetful Pill, some people in this world are destined to be fateless, but their love is deep-rooted, and they can't let go of it after all.
"It should be the best outcome for them."
"yes."
It can almost be said that if you have enough time and patience, you can understand the past and present of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom through the Seven Tricks Exquisite Array.
When I left the Seven Exquisite Array, the night had fallen, the moonlight was like water, sprinkled coldly, and the starlight was shining in the empty night sky, quiet and beautiful.
"Husband, it's just the right night, why don't we leave as soon as possible."
"It's a good day, it's such a quiet and sunny night, it's just right to hurry."
Reaching an agreement, the couple came to the first floor of the post station, where the post owner could teleport people to the middle of the Silk Road, and from there, across the Silk Road, they could reach another rich country in the Western Regions, the Treasure Elephant Country.
At night, the wind on the Silk Road is bleak, the chill is a little deep, the feet are full of sand, and when you look up, you can see the vast sky, and the stars are very bright, as if they are right in front of you.
"Husband, look at it, the stars are so beautiful."
"yes, it's like being in the Moon Palace."
Rushing in this somewhat monotonous desert, the night will be more interesting, and the husband and wife are walking while looking at the beautiful starry sky, and the years are quiet.
"It's midnight, it's not safe in this desert, if the two young heroes are not in a hurry, let's wait for dawn before leaving."
The person who spoke was the messenger of the Silk Road, and the place where he was located was the boundary, and the cultivation level of the wild monsters on both sides of the Silk Road was different, and the side where the husband and wife were located was a higher level of cultivation.
"Thank you for the reminder."
"Where are the two young heroes going?"
"Treasure Elephant Country."
"It's not far, just through the desert."
The Silk Road envoy sat on the steps in front of a small wooden house, quietly looking at the vast desert and the night sky, where he had been alone, and the desert and the stars were his only companions.
"The messenger is not resting at this hour, so is there still business?"
"It's the night when it's busy, and there are so many merchants here that it's hard to discern the direction at night, and if you're not careful, you'll die."
"The desert is vast, and it is indeed difficult to walk."
"That's not it, the weather here is changing rapidly, there are often sandstorms, even people who have grown up in the desert can't guarantee that they are safe all the time, and most of them don't go out in bad weather."
The direction in which the husband and wife are going is good, in terms of distance, it is the narrowest place in the entire desert, and it is naturally safer to walk through the desert for more than an hour, besides, the beasts here are no longer a threat to the husband and wife.
"The wind is blowing, listen to the wind, I'm afraid there will be a storm soon, the two young heroes should slow down and leave."
"In that case, can a messenger allow me and the two of us to rest here for a while?"
"It's okay, the two young heroes come into the house and sit."
"Thank you, messenger."
It was an extremely simple room, with only a table, a small bed, and a stove, as well as some commonly used household items.
The Silk Road envoy remained outside the house, and a camel bell sounded not far away, and it seemed that a caravan would pass by soon.
Xiaoyu took a porcelain bowl from the stove, took out the wine jug, poured a full bowl of wine, and handed it to the Silk Road messenger.
"The night in this desert is really a bit cold, we happened to bring some freshly brewed plum wine, and the messenger should drink some to warm up."
"Thank you, Childe."
The messenger took the plum blossom wine and took a big sip, which was not as spicy as he imagined, but a little sweet.
"There's something special about this smell."
"Exactly, this wine is brewed with freshly opened plum blossoms, and although it has no taste of alcohol, it is intoxicating."
"yes, I really want to get drunk."
The wind grew stronger, and some sand rolled up and rustled against the leaves, but the hut was built on the edge of a wood, and the sand was much less by now.
"Has the messenger been here for a long time?"
"yes."
"It's a bit remote here, why does the envoy stay here?"
"Well...... It's really hard to say, maybe it's because of a person, maybe it's because of some things, after all these years, those thoughts are no longer important, more because of habits. ”
Another persistent person.
Xiao Zhen lay by the window, listening to the conversation between the two, looking at the moon blurred by the wind and sand.
Thinking about it carefully, all the way to the present, I have met people who are a little persistent, from them, the husband and wife have seen almost all the beautiful obsessions in this world.
Attachment to love, attachment to life, attachment to the future, and dedication to defending the Three Realms.
"By the way, may I ask the envoy, how far is it to go to Xiniu Hezhou?"
"The road over there is already a bit far away, and there are large woods, not as empty as in front of here, I'm afraid it will take half a day."
In this way, the husband and wife still have to set off quickly, if not, they are afraid that they will not be able to walk out of the woods on the other side of the Silk Road when it gets dark tomorrow.
"Aren't you two going to the Treasure Elephant Country? Why did you ask about Xiniu Hezhou? ”
"We're going to visit a friend in the Treasure Elephant Country first, and then we're going all the way to Fangcun Mountain."
"I see."
"According to the messenger, how long will it be before this wind stops?"
"This is not good, the wind in this desert can sometimes blow all day."
The night was getting deeper, and the chill was even worse, and I had to put on clothes.
Xiao Zhen put on his coat, found Xiao Yu's cloak again, pushed open the door and gently put it on for him, and then sat down beside him.
"It's cold at night, so let's go into the house, don't catch a cold."
"I'm not cold, but you, who have been staying outside the house, must have frozen."
"Fortunately, the tall mountain rocks next to it block some wind, so it's not so cold."
"The messenger is thinly clothed, so let's go into the house and add some clothes."
"Thank you girl for your concern, the night here has always been like this, I'm used to it."
After a long time, the wind did not lighten up, but became more and more violent.
"It seems that this wind can't stop for a while and a half, and the two young heroes will only stay for a while."
"That's the only way, just to disturb the messenger, it's not strange."
"The two young heroes are polite, and wait here in peace, if you are delayed, there is a village in the forest, you can spend the night there tomorrow."
After all, the wind kept blowing, and this night was destined to be sleepless.
"Speaking of which, there seems to be a Buddha cave on the other side of the Silk Road, right?"
"Exactly, I don't know when it was built, but it must have been some years, and the murals inside are a little dilapidated."
"But the Buddha cave has been silent for many years, why did it suddenly appear?"
"Maybe it's because of the illusion after the mural, now the illusion has opened, it is said that there are many knights who go there to practice, if you are interested, the two young heroes can go to see."
It seems that it should be the Buddha cave that Yuchen once mentioned to them.
