(172) The heart is in fruition
The lights are dim, the sound of wooden fish, and the smell of sandalwood.
The monk sat on the futon, his eyes closed, his expression compassionate, and he was mechanically knocking on the small wooden fish in his hand.
Ah Jiao heard the sound of the wooden fish, and knew that he was in a fixed position, so he simply didn't knock on the door and came in quietly.
She replaced some of the broken lotus flowers in the wooden deep box, and inserted the white lotus that was waiting to be released.
She looked at Yu Nanxing, who was chanting, sighed secretly in her heart, and was about to leave, but Yu Nanxing opened her eyes, stopped Muyu, and stopped her:
"You're going to the Demon Domain today?"
"Yes." Ah Jiao replied nonchalantly.
"And went to see the bones of the previous Demon Lord?"
Ah Jiao frowned: "What does it have to do with you?" ”
"Nothing." He made up his mind, "I just smell it, and I want to confirm it." ”
"You can stay here in peace," Jiao said, "Your Excellency said that you won't be able to leave until the war is over." ”
"The little monk didn't plan to leave either." Silent Sky had a light face, "The little monk wants to watch the war end." ”
"Hey, let me ask you, Ah Ji, the emperor of floating jade, is the girl you like, is it really hopeless?" Ah Jiao squatted down and looked at him, "I always think you have a way." ”
Silence shook his head resolutely: "No, really not. ”
This time, his eyes did not escape Ah Jiao, but looked straight at her.
"Ugh." Ah Jiao sighed, "Is this fate..."
"You have to understand that in this world," the empty eyes of the lonely eyes are empty, "no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot escape his fate." Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. Miss Aji is already the first in the world, and she can't control her own life, right? ”
"Then what is the purpose of monasticism?" Jiao shook his head in disbelief, "Since nothing can be changed..."
"They were destined to cultivate. It's like they rebelled against fate, but in fact, fate was predestined for a long time. The monk said leisurely.
"Do you want to say that if you want to break that reincarnation, you are also doomed to failure?"
Silent Sky shook his head: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed. ”
"Okay." Ah Jiao stood up and turned to leave, "I have to be busy." ”
"But I have good news for you."
"Huh? What's up? Jiao stopped.
"The little monk watches the sky at night, Ah Xue is going to have children."
"What?" Ah Jiao was pleasantly surprised, but then he was deflated, "Looking at the sky at night, what can it tell you." There are so many stargazers in the world, do they all have to have children? Do you want to say such a ridiculous thing? ”
"It's good to be lucky." Lonely Pink Lips smiled and did not refute, but asked her, "Ah Jiao, let me ask you, have you read a book called "The Legend of the Heavens"? ”
"The Legend of the Heavens?" Jiao thought for a while, "No." But it seems that the king has this book. In the world, this book is forbidden. ”
Silence nodded: "That's it, it's okay." ”
"What exactly do you want to say?" Ah Jiao asked him strangely.
"Nothing." Silence regained a faint temperament, then closed his eyes and began to knock on the wooden fish, "It's just curious." ”
Jiao shook his head, inexplicably.
As she turned to leave, the Silent Sky Monk silently opened his eyes and looked at her back into the distance.
(Dividing Line)
Ji Qing finally arrived in Wanzhou, and the scene in front of him was unexpected.
It's a dead city in front of you! There were no soldiers guarding the city gate, it was such a big city, but I couldn't even hear the sound of people, not even the sound of chickens and dogs, and I saw that the flag on the city tower was still very bright, and it should have only been hung for a short time.
The tragic sunset shone on the city bricks, and the fishy sweet smell of the dead drifted into his nostrils with the wind, and only the old crow "wow" screamed, as if he was sending a funeral for Wanzhou.
Since Wanzhou is already like this... Perhaps, maybe the survivors are all gathered in Qingyang City, where the senior brother is?
Ji Qing thought about it like this, and used his aura to protect his mouth and nose, although he would not be infected with the plague, but the smell was still quite disgusting.
With hope, Ji Qing passed by a dead silence, the doors and windows were open, the corpses were all over the field, and even the dead beggars were lying on the side of the road. The city has become a mass grave, some of them are wrapped in mats and thrown there, and some seem to have loosened the dead and did not go back, and died directly on the outskirts of the city.
It's a human tragedy.
Ji Qing couldn't believe it, and looking at the degree of decay of the corpses, the time interval between their deaths would not be more than three days.
What kind of epidemic came so violently and so quickly, and took the lives of a state in three days?
Ji Qing's heart became tighter and tighter.
He couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and hurried all the way to Qingyang City.
However, Qingyang City is no exception, it is still a dead city.
Ji Qing couldn't believe his eyes, and walked into the city to shout Gu Qinglian's name, but all that answered him was the crow cry and the sound of flapping wings flying.
No one, no one here.
There are no living people.
Ji Qing took a deep breath of cold air and began to look for clues that Gu Qinglian had visited;
Although he knew that this epidemic would not infect Gu Qinglian, he still carefully searched all the dead, as long as Gu Qinglian had cast a spell, he would definitely be found!
Strange, even if he fails... It shouldn't be like there are no traces!
The medicine hall in this place is still full... Could it be that Senior Brother... Never been here at all? Yin Si gave fake news?
Ji Qing began to feel that this place was dangerous.
He calmed down and thought about it, then decided to go back to the Imperial Sect first to confirm the authenticity of the news.
After seeing this experience, Ji Qing's heart is already a big alarm bell, where can he take care of rest, and he will arrive at Yuzong in the starry night-
"Ah Ji! That's not right! He was tapping on the door, Qianchen and Yin Si were already ready to rest, and hurriedly got up to open the door for him: "Senior brother, what's wrong?" What about Senior Brother Qinglian? ”
Ji Qing glanced at Yin Si and said, "I've already been to Qingyang City, where... No, the whole of Wanzhou is a dead city, I haven't even seen a single living person, let alone Senior Brother Qinglian! How many Qingyang Cities are there in the world? ”
"One." Yin Si frowned, "There's no reason to be mistaken." My men have spoken to him. ”
"Could it be that Senior Brother Qinglian has already left with the survivors?" Qianchen asked, "After all, even if you haven't been infected by the plague or have been cured, you can't stay in that environment forever." ”
Ji Qing was anxious: "I've thought about all this!" But I can't find even a trace of him, the medicine in the local hospital has not been used at all, this epidemic is so fierce that it can take the life of a city in three days..."
"You mean..."Qianchen pondered for a moment, "Senior Brother Qinglian has never been to Qingyang City at all, is the information wrong?" ”
"I...," Ji Qinghu looked at Yin Si suspiciously, "I'm not sure." But... That's what I see. ”
Qianchen looked at Yin Si in embarrassment: "With Gu worms, I can figure it out in half an hour." If you don't do that now, the later it gets, the more dangerous it becomes. .... Someone must have prepared in advance and misled your people. Now there is no one in Qingyang City, and the only clue is broken..."
"No, you can't." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yin Si, "I can go by myself, but you are not allowed to use Gu worms." ”
"You're going?" Qianchen was about to laugh angrily, "Isn't the result the same when you go?" If Senior Brother hadn't been there at all, wouldn't he still have no clue? ”
"Why is there no clue? Since he is prepared for my people to misunderstand, there must be traces..."
"Traces? Yes has also been dealt with. Qianchen is stubborn, "I still won't have a clue." It's just an hour, isn't it okay for the last time? ”
"Nope." Yin Si is also very stubborn, saying that if he can't do it, he can't do it, "Do you think you demonize fast enough?" ”
Ji Qing was stunned for a while, and the little couple was really excited to talk about it.
In the end, Yin Si made the final decision: "Now your actions are not your responsibility alone, and even the fetus in your womb will also have to suffer the consequences." Do you still want to do this? ”
All of a sudden, Qianchen was stunned.
Ji Qing was also stunned: "Ah Ji... You, you're pregnant? ”
"Ahh Hmm", Qianchen shrugged and said, "Yin Si can see that the soul has arrived, but it will only take ten months for the body to grow." ”
"Now it's... How long has it been? Ji Qing's face was incredulous.
"It's just a day or two." Qianchen smiled, "Let's think about Senior Brother Qinglian." ”
"In that case," Yin Si thought for a moment, "I can only let Ah Jiao run once." ”
"Jiao?" Qianchen was obviously dissatisfied, "What's the matter with my senior brother handing over to Ah Jiao?" Why bother her again? ”
"Do you remember, you have to be with me all the time," Yin Si patiently said, "I want to go by myself, but it's a place full of dead people, can a woman with a child go?" Besides, if you don't use Gu worms, taking you with you will also make you suffer..."
"That's it! Stop arguing! Ji Qing stood up and gasped, "Ah Ji, I feel crazy when I go to that place, so you just stay here." Senior Brother Yinsi, please lend me some manpower, and I'll find it myself. ”
"But how do you find it?" Qianchen looked at him worriedly, "Do you have a clue?" ”
"Yes." Ji Qing nodded, "I almost forgot, I can use my spell fruit to find Senior Brother's Lianhua." It will take some time, but you will be able to find it. ”
"Is it possible that our three spells can sense each other?" Qianchen asked curiously.
"It's not." Ji Qing smiled, "It's my own cultivation." ”
To a certain extent, his heart has been integrated into Qingzhong, and what Ji Qingzhi thinks is what Qingzhong thinks.
Gu Qinglian is his beloved, and he is also the love of Qingzhong.
Two spells come from the same root, where is the reason why you can't find each other?
The upper and poorer blue fall into the yellow spring, and if you want to see people in life and die, you have to see corpses!
