Chapter 247, Wind and Rain
It is a place full of pebbles and gravel, potholes, a wide river caressing the gravel on the ground from west to east, the water is very shallow and very clear, if it were not for the river width of nearly ten meters, it would be appropriate to call it a stream; Occasionally, fish and shrimp chase each other and play with each other in the river, as if all the troubles of the world have nothing to do with them.
There are uneven slopes and hills on both sides of the river, there is very little vegetation around, and the view is quite open, and the river is still a little alive within a radius of ten miles.
At this time, the sky was overcast, and there was a sparse rain in the sky, the rain was like cotton wool, fine and soft, and the slightly cold air told the desolation of this barren land.
The desolation here is silent, everything here is indisputable, it is neither a place for soldiers nor a traveler's journey, it has nothing to cherish for it, much less all the reasons to think of it, its desolation has nothing to do with life, not even with death.
It's such a place, but today it welcomes the first guest in thousands of years! She heard a sudden explosion on the top of the clouds, and a figure floated out through the clouds, and then began to dive to the ground, her body churned with "tears of the sky", and finally landed steadily on a high ground by the river, she raised her eyes and looked around for a moment, and then frowned tightly.
"There is no village in front of the village, there is no shop in the back, although it is desolate, but it is not too far from the border of the Terrans, is he not afraid that if the Terran army finds out, he will send troops to surround and kill him?" Nangong Liyue thought silently in her heart, "But the terrain here is open and not easy for Tibetans, is this why he chose to trade here?" ”
At this time, Nangong Liyue was wearing a crescent moon armor, and although her whole body was covered in iron sheets, the uneven mecha structure could still highlight the beauty of being a woman, plus the bright and shiny brilliance, which was extremely eye-catching in this barren land, and it was impossible for anyone to ignore her as long as they passed by.
Through the bright white eyes on the helmet, Nangong Liyue kept scanning and searching the neighborhood, but even without the assistance of the "Vision", I believe that she could easily see everything here with the naked eye, and soon she had nothing to do, so she tapped her hand to her ear, as if to say to herself, "I've arrived, where are you?" ”
There was silence in her ears for a while, and just when she thought that the other party would not reply, a calm voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "Don't worry...... Coming soon! ”
Nangong Liyue didn't say anything more, so she adjusted her breathing slightly, and looked at the river in front of her, her lonely figure quickly blended into the environment.
"Commander Chen, Jiang Mou said first, no matter what, you must ensure the personal safety of the little princess first!" Jiang Shinian spoke, but his eyes were fixed on the lonely figure of Nangong Liyue in the Heavenly Machine Mirror, "I am against this action, don't you think it's too risky?" ”
The heavenly machine mirror is divided into yin and yang, and the yin side is located in the main city of the Qingqiu clan - Shili City; The sunny side is on the north shore of the Great Razor of the Spirit Clan. These two Heavenly Machine Mirrors seem to grow naturally on the ground, and no one knows who made them, and why they were placed in these two places? What's even more strange is that the Heavenly Machine Mirror seems to have taken root in these two places, and no one can shake them.
Therefore, around the Tianji Mirror, on the shore of the Great Razor, the Youling Clan built a town of no small scale, which was called Tianji Town; In fact, the main cities of the Spirit Clan are around this great Razor water, and their power can be described as very dense.
After the arrival of the Terran aid team, they chose to build the main infrastructure in Tianji Town, which greatly increased in scale, as if it was already a big city, and the central spiritual power hub as the main output of power was also built in the center of Tianji Town.
Look at the machine mirror again, the shape is simple, if it is not working, it is a round stone ring that seems to be made of jade, the stone ring is carved with a very regular pattern, the maximum diameter of the stone ring is nearly three meters, and there is a natural spar at the bottom of the ground to hold it up. The ancient wandering spirit people built a large hall for it around the Heavenly Machine Mirror, so that this artifact would not be exposed to the air barely, and the name of the main hall was also conceivable, it was called the Heavenly Machine Palace.
According to legend, each artifact is naturally conceived by the aura of heaven and earth, so in order not to block the artifact from absorbing the aura of the sun and the moon, the top and four walls of the Tianji Hall are very well lit.
And located in the Qingqiu clan ten miles of the city, of course, there is also a heavenly machine hall that is the same as the Youling clan, in fact, the two sides of the yin and yang heavenly machine mirror are structurally speaking, there is no difference at all, the yin and yang in the name are just because of the south yang and the north yin.
At this time, on the stone ring around the Tianji Mirror in front of Jiang Shinian, there are countless wires buckled, and the other end of the wire is, of course, the spiritual power hub from the center, under the spiritual power transmission, the Tianji Mirror begins to work, and the center of the stone ring is mirror-like, and the mirror surface reflects the overlooking image of the landform called Hanquan that is located on the border of the Shenyan Clan.
"Marshal Jiang, don't worry, when that Chiyou appears, after we confirm the identity of the other party, we will immediately teleport to the side of the New Moon Imperial Princess, which can naturally protect the safety of the Imperial Concubine!" After Chen Xiaoyun finished speaking to him, she turned around and commanded the Shuangwu brothers behind her, "Order down, let our people be ready and ready to act at any time!" ”
"Yes!" The Shuangwu brothers took the order and walked side by side towards the outside of the hall.
"Gongsun, how are you preparing over there?"
"Rest assured, everything is ready!"
"Boss, is there anything going on over there?"
"Not for the time being, be smart when the time comes, protect first, and then arrest!"
"Got it, okay, let's wait and see!" After Chen Xiaoyun finished speaking, with a hopeful gaze in her eyes, she put one hand on her waist and stood quietly in front of the Tianji Mirror.
Next, all that was left was waiting, and Nangong Liyue stood still, her eyes fixed on the slowly flowing river, because the river in front of her was the only thing worth looking at.
Her heart became unusually quiet at this time, just as this barren land, although it was desolate, it was better than pure. I don't know how long she waited, but there was no other movement in her ears except for the faint sound of the wind and the subtle sound of running water, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, so quiet that she could hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
Nangong Liyue gasped quietly, I don't know when, the rain stopped, the wind stopped, the sky was still cloudy, and I didn't know if it was about to see the clouds or if there would be a bigger storm, but it didn't matter.
In the midst of this silence, Nangong Liyue's pupils suddenly dilated, only to notice that the river in front of her was upstream from the west, where the water and the sky met, and a black dot jumped into her eyes out of thin air!
So her eyes zoomed in on the target through the "vision" on the helmet, focused, zoomed in, and focused again, and soon saw and locked on to the black spot.
According to the magnification, the black dot is a bamboo raft, the front end of the bamboo raft sits a person, the person is wearing a hat and a robe, like a fisherman, in the middle of the bamboo raft, that is, there is a bamboo pole behind the person, and a lamp is tied to the main pole, and the wick is burning with a faint fire.
"Vision" quickly analyzed the lonely figure in front of him, his loneliness was more integrated into the surrounding environment than Nangong Liyue. He seems to have been born as a part of this place, and the desolation on his body is natural, without the slightest sense of disobedience with this heaven and earth.
Gender unknown, age unknown, ability unknown, ethnicity unknown. Nangong Liyue's eyes were full of question marks, and this person was full of mystery!
Nangong Liyue stood at a loss, not knowing whether she should float forward or continue to wait. Luo Yi, who shared her vision, began to get nervous since the person appeared, and the same situation also appeared in front of the Tianji Mirror, silence was their common state, everyone didn't dare to breathe, and their eyes were staring at the slowly approaching bamboo raft.
As the river flowed, the black dots on the raft gradually enlarged, and gradually, even without the help of the "vision", she could clearly see the person sitting on the raft, who was quieter than Nangong Liyue, as if he was asleep, motionless, more like a passing traveler.
Seeing that the man didn't make a sound, Nangong Liyue didn't say anything either, the two of them were like strangers to each other, neither of them wanted to deal with anyone; They are like two warriors playing with each other, and they are fighting their composure in their hearts, depending on who loses their patience first.
Soon after, the victory was divided, and it was Nangong Liyue who stood quietly on the shore who was defeated. When she saw that the bamboo raft was about to pass by, she couldn't help but shout.
"Hey......!" The voice was not too loud, and there was a strange embarrassment, but in this silent environment, it was very piercing, enough to wake up a sleeping person, because she saw that the traveler who had not moved at all squirmed slightly with her shout, and then the bamboo raft under him seemed to take root in the water, and stopped steadily in the middle of the water, so that the slowly flowing river formed a very discordant picture with the bamboo raft quietly moored on the river.
After shouting, Nangong Liyue didn't know what to say next, firstly, she wasn't sure about the person's identity, and secondly, she didn't know where to start. From beginning to end of this incident, she was the passive party, so she tacitly agreed in her mind that the beginning of the conversation should also be started by the other party.
Then there was silence again, the wind began to blow again, the clouds pressed lower, and the wide water reflected the grayness of the sky, and everything seemed extremely oppressive; The fish and shrimp who were originally chasing each other and playing in the water seemed to feel some unsafe factor, and they had already run away, and the two of them became the only creatures against the gray background.
It turned out that it was not to clear the clouds, but to rain even more......
