At the end of the horizon, there was a faint grayish-yellow color.

Jiang You opened his eyes with difficulty.

In the nose and in the mouth, there is sand. He sat up, spat a few dry sips, then took out the kettle and drank some water.

The fire burned out.

The wind was strong and blew the sand.

He stood up and walked a few steps, stretched a little, then crouched down, picked up the cutlery he had used yesterday, and washed it with sand. When he was halfway washed, Guan Qingtong opened the tent curtain first and walked out. She walked up to Jiang You, and after looking at it for a while, she asked, "Have you been to the desert before?" ”

"I read a lot of strategies before I came," Jiang You folded the cleaned bowl and put it aside, he looked up at Qingtong, "I originally thought I could ride a camel, my son likes camels very much, but you got a car." ”

Guan Qingtong listened to Jiang You's words and slowly sat on the ground.

"I've always had a problem." Jiang lobbied.

"What is it?"

"I see that you have been doing the Mirror Lake Meeting for many years, and you have been working hard," Jiang You also sat on the sand, "Didn't you kill all the gods before, I think it's a little strange." ”

Guan Qingtong looked into the distance.

The sun is slowly lifted from the horizon by golden clouds.

After a long time, she said, "We paid a big price. ”

"Didn't you train new people?"

"I sometimes can't help but wonder if their sacrifice makes sense. If, if they hadn't died back then...... The original god, he came to this world, and the worst result is only to return to the chaotic world of gods and demons, and in the chaotic times, the probability of us surviving is higher than that of ordinary people, even ......"

"Rising status?"

"Yes, I, I am different from Lao Zhuang, they are all orphans, Teacher Xie brought them up, and then the situation changed, Teacher Xie couldn't find so many suitable children, and the policy didn't allow it, and he was getting busier and busier," Guan Qingtong looked down at the sand, her voice lowered, "My brother and I are the descendants of the housekeeper, our parents and other elders are dead, war, and other reasons, and finally it was Teacher Xie who took us in." ”

"You guys don't have good ingredients?"

"Yes, so I haven't been as conscious as they are."

"Where's your brother?" Jiang You asked.

"He, he is the kind, like the kind of ancient one, who feels that he must do his part in the rise and fall of the world."

Jiang You pulled the topic back, "So when facing the Mirror Lake Meeting, you don't have so many people to sacrifice?" ”

"No," Guan Qingtong shook her head, she said, "There are many people, many worldly forces protecting the Jinghu Society. They slandered Teacher Xie, and when we didn't realize the crisis, the teacher was isolated and examined, and in the end, although nothing was found, but during that time, we had a very difficult time, and we were attacked by the enemy. ”

She was a little thirsty.

Jiang You found a bottle of mineral water from her hiking bag and handed it to her, she took it and drank it, and then said, "God is not terrible, what is terrible is people." ”

"I'm still a little confused." Jiang You changed his sitting position.

"Wonder about what?"

"But the institute doesn't seem to have suffered any harm."

Guan Qingtong's eyes became sharp, and she asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Jinghu will always want to take Tangjiang, what is there in Tangjiang that they want to take?" Jiang You took another sip of water, and he said: "The altar under the Xueshan Lake Resort is also quite interesting, if I remember correctly, the location of Xueshan Lake and the research institute, from your feng shui, seems to be just broken......"

Guan Qingtong interrupted Jiang You, her voice was fast, "How do you know where the institute was originally located?" ”

Jiang You said: "Tangjiang is so big, you may occasionally pay attention to it when you go shopping." ”

Guan Qingtong frowned and thought for a moment, she said: "Yulan once took Lin Yu to the research institute to check his body, he, he shouldn't remember ......"

"You see, you can also manipulate people's memories, as if in a certain operation before, in order to protect the victims, they also processed their memories, why pretend to trust me to test me?"

"No, it's two different things," Guan Qingtong quickly denied, "It's actually a failed achievement, you have to use instruments to erase the memory of the recent period, and the person whose memory has been erased can remember that he lost part of his memory." ”

"Really?" Jiang You looked at Guan Qingtong.

Guan Qingtong didn't avoid his gaze, she said, "I'm very honest with you. ”

"Didn't you say that in troubled times, you capable people have the world to show?"

Guan Qingtong smiled bitterly, and then she said: "Our sacrifice is too great, my brother, he survived at that time, but later, he was also ......" She bit her lip, and her voice became very soft, "I can't let them sacrifice in vain." ”

"Pay more attention to the Institute."

"Do you mean, the Mirror Lake Society's target is the Institute?"

"I don't know." Jiang You stood up.

It was all light.

He stretched and walked in the direction of the tent, "I'm going to see my son, I don't know how he slept last night." ”

……

After everyone got up, they simply had breakfast, then put away their tents, put them in the buggy, and started the day's journey.

As soon as Jiang You got in the car, he fastened his seat belt and started sleeping.

The body bumped and undulated with the sound of purring.

"We seem to be going around in circles." Zhu Wen suddenly spoke.

Tang Butian looked ahead.

The sand glows white in the midday sun. In addition to sand, it is sand, sand as far as the eye can see.

"Try again." Guan Qingtong said.

"Do you want to move forward?" Zhu Wen asked.

"Yes."

More than 20 minutes later, Zhu Wen stopped the car and said, "We have been here just now. ”

Guan Qingtong lowered her head and counted for a moment, then she said, "Let's get out of the car." ”

Tang Butian glanced at Jiang You, he slept very hard, she poked his arm with her fingers, there was no response, she said to Jiang Mo, "Tell him to get up." ”

Jiang Mo turned his head away.

She lifted the wooden knife and was about to slap Jiang You on the shoulder, when Jiang Mo raised her leg and kicked Jiang You in the stomach.

Jiang You woke up suddenly.

He looked at Jiang Mo, then at Tang Butian, and then at the window.

The wind was strong, blowing the sand, and it was yellow outside the window.

Guan Qingtong and Zhu Wen had already gotten out of the car, and they were standing side by side, as if they were discussing something.

Jiang You asked, "Have you arrived?" ”

Tang Butian said: "I'm lost." ”

"Impossible." Jiang You took a sip of water, he unbuckled his seat belt, pushed open the door and got out of the car.

The wind and sand hit him in the face, he pulled the zipper of his clothes up, and then walked up to Guan Qingtong with one foot deep and one foot shallow, he asked, "What is the situation now?" ”

Guan Qingtong said: "I can feel that what I am looking for is nearby, but I can't get any closer, maybe in the sky, maybe underground." ”

Jiang You took off his sunglasses and replaced them with his usual glasses, and then he looked into the depths of the wind and sand, "In terms of the distribution of spiritual power particles, I prefer to be underground. ”

Guan Qingtong turned around, and she asked, "How do you go down?" ”
