Wine is not intoxicating, people are drunk (I)
Riding the carriage and horse carefully prepared by Nian Zhishang, Yu Siqi, accompanied by everyone, was officially on the road.
The number of people on their trip was so large that the convoy could not even be seen from front to end.
In the face of such a huge formation, Yu Siqi, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but ask Nian Zhishang, who was sitting opposite him: "Is it necessary to bring so many people?" ”
"More people are easier to do! Besides, it is only a few hundred foot soldiers, and once the enemy is encountered, it is inevitable that the loss will be halved. If the conditions do not allow, I would have already wanted to gather thousands of elite soldiers and then set off on a certain day. ”
Nian Zhishang had already taken off his armor at this moment, dressed in civilian clothes, and sat directly opposite Yu Siqi. Next to him, the old man was sitting cross-legged there, closing his eyes and recuperating.
"I'm obedient, thousands of elite soldiers. Are you thinking about war? ”
When Yu Siqi said this, he found that Nian Zhishang was looking at him with strange eyes, so he hurriedly added: "I mean, will anyone really try to attack this team with hundreds of foot soldiers?" Why and why did they do this? Just to keep me from seeing your king? ”
"You can't use normal human thinking to substitute for individuals who have been distorted by extreme emotions. As I can tell you below, the leaders of these three realms don't like strangers passing through their territory. Even just passing by will cause them to be displeased.
Not to mention that the person in charge of our escort this time happens to be related to the king they hate the most.
Trust your instincts, they will do everything they can to trouble us. ”
As soon as Nian Zhishang finished saying this, Fu Fen poked his head in and whispered to him: "My lord, Wang Liang he... Wake up..."
"Did he say anything?"
Nian Zhishang turned his head and looked at him and asked.
"Didn't say anything... Well, in fact, Wang Liang he is now... Very silent, more silent than ever. As soon as Fu Fen finished speaking, Nian Zhishang asked: "How far are we from the 'Evil Territory' now?" ”
Fu Fen put his head back, asked a few questions from the people nearby, and then poked his head in and said, "If you go back to your lordship, it should be less than three thousand meters." ”
"It's less than three thousand meters? It seems that he was mostly affected. On my orders, send a few reliable brothers to keep an eye on him and keep him out of your sight. When the 'Evil Territory' is over, I will go and see him in person. After Nian Zhishang explained this instruction, he turned his gaze back to Yu Siqi, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm sorry, let's continue." ”
"Why did you send someone to keep an eye on Wang Liang?"
Yu Siqi couldn't help but ask.
"Because he's just been through a not-so-rosy experience. I believe that in the next place we are going to pass, he will inevitably affect his mind because of the 'malice' that constantly emanates from his surroundings. If you don't take care of it, you won't be able to poke out some kind of basket. ”
Nian Zhishang put his hand on his forehead, leaned against the car window, looked at the unchanged scenery outside the window, and said.
"In that case, then why are you still taking him with you? Shouldn't he have been left behind? ”
Yu Siqi asked.
"Even if he is left behind, with Wang Liang's temper, he will undoubtedly catch up alone. At that time, without the care of others, he was simply a 'perfect container' for carrying evil thoughts. After Nian Zhishang finished speaking, he tried to glance at Yu Siqi and said, "You should know what 'malicious' is, right?" It's the kind of 'terrible thought' that runs from the soles of your feet to your chest, and you can make you feel terrified. ”
"I happen to know a little bit." When Yu Siqi answered, Fu Fen's loud shout came from his ears: "The front is about to enter the 'Territory of Evil', please rest assured, soldiers." Don't let the demons get into your body and mess up. Remember, as long as you don't break away from the formation, Ben will ensure that you will not be corrupted by evil thoughts. ”
Then, a dazzling white light appeared in front of Yu Siqi's eyes.
It was on the verge of blinding Yu Siqi at first, and then it slowly dimmed, maintaining a brightness that could illuminate the dim surroundings without making people uncomfortable.
At this time, Yu Siqi realized that the white light was actually emitted by the long sword in Fu Fen's hand. At this time, he was holding a white sword like a glow stick, walking around the convoy. From time to time, the mouth shouted high-pitched words that were enough to lift people's hearts and stabilize their positions.
Everywhere the light went, they could hear some screams that were soft enough to reach their ears.
"It doesn't take long for the 'Incarnation of Evil' to be able to notice us 'uninvited guests'."
Nian Zhishang opened the window a little more and said.
"That's something you can't help but do. After all, compared to being 'haunted by evil thoughts', I personally still think that what your subordinates did was very appropriate. ”
Yu Siqi expressed his feelings.
"Perhaps." After Nian Zhishang closed the window again, he leaned back in the chair and asked, "By the way, I wonder if you are hungry?" ”
"Hungry? Even if I'm hungry, can you still get me something to eat? ”
Yu Siqi was asked by him, and then he realized that he seemed to have not eaten for a while. And it doesn't matter if he doesn't mention it, as soon as he mentions the word 'hungry', Yu Siqi's whole person begins to fall into a feeling of hunger.
"It's underestimated." Nian Zhishang took out a small transparent bottle from his bosom and said, "I really can't get you any living food in this lightless realm. But I can offer you the 'Night Spring' with a purity of 84.7%! ”
"What is the 'Night Fountain'?"
Yu Siqi is very concerned about the origin of this spring-like thing.
"The Fountain of Night is a source of strength for the people of the night like us, and a necessary guarantee for sustaining this fragile life. Just as you living people need to eat and sleep, so we and the people of the night do not need to eat and sleep.
However, it is necessary to drink a certain amount of the night spring regularly.
Otherwise, we will suffer from the decay of our shells, just like this old gentleman. ”
Nian Zhishang gently unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and at the same time felt three cups somewhere in the carriage, and filled the empty cups with the liquid in the bottle, and said.
"Can I drink it too?"
Yu Siqi looked at the liquid that was a bit like liquor, and asked with a little worry.
"It should work. According to relevant records, there are more than one person who drank the 'Night Spring' and was unharmed. Besides, it's a long way to go, and if you don't use the 'Night Spring' as a foundation, I'm afraid your body won't be able to hold on. ”
Nian Zhishang took the lead in raising the cup, raised his head and drank it all.
"Since adults are willing to share such a high-purity 'Night Spring', then Xiao Lao'er is not welcome here."
The old man opened his eyes suddenly, and drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.
After finishing the matter, he even licked his lips with an aftertaste, and said, "To be honest, Xiao Lao'er entered the city this time to go to the market to buy some 'blended inferior night springs'." Unexpectedly, by chance, I was fortunate enough to taste such a pure 'Night Spring' for free. You should really thank the little brother! ”
The old gentleman laughed. If the journey is smooth sailing, I am willing to personally take out thirty barrels of 'Night Spring' for the old gentleman to enjoy slowly. ”
Nian Zhishang boldly offered a very lucrative condition.
"A word?" "It's a deal!"
The old man confirmed it in disbelief, and after getting a positive reply, the joy blossomed.
In the laughter, the two of them jointly moved their eyes to Yu Siqi, who was still hesitating.
The latter, under the premise of being watched and affected by hunger, silently picked up the cup. He didn't unceremoniously 'drink it all' like those two.
Instead, he licked it with the tip of his tongue first, and after finding that it couldn't taste anything, he drank it in small sips.
While Yu Siqi finished drinking the contents of the cup, Nian Zhishang asked with a concerned face: "It should be fine, right?" ”
"It doesn't seem to be. And, I feel like I'm ..."
Before Yu Siqi's words were finished, he was entangled in an irresistible tiredness.
Immediately after a few seconds, Yu Siqi he... Fell asleep.
"Good fellow, can you fall asleep so soon?"
Nian Zhishang was very surprised by Siqi's current situation.
In this regard, the old man said calmly: "Maybe the 'degree' is too high, and the body will not be able to adapt to it for a while." When you get some sleep, you should be able to recover. ”
"Okay, then let's take this opportunity to speed up the team."
Nian Zhishang nodded, opened the window again, and shouted outside.
