Chapter 279: Vigil
After eating and drinking, the sky was completely dark.
The dark night came quietly, although the Gobi at night was still covered with yellow sand, it was much quieter than the day, only the whirring wind was still accompanied by their ears.
Gu Yunying raised her eyes and looked at the empty and bright stars.
The night here is clear and bright, and the starry sky above them is like a well-made building lamp, buckled upside down above their heads.
Unlike the night sky in the snowy regions of the north or the south of the mountains, it is too far away to be imaginable.
The bright galaxy on the Gobi, together with the desolate giant moon, gives people the illusion that they can pick the stars with their hands, as if this piece of heaven is very close to the travelers on the Gobi, as if it is tempting people to reach out and touch it.
When she saw Jin Xuanxuan beside her, she couldn't help but stretch out her palm, wanting to touch the brightest star in the night sky.
"Sister Gu, do you feel that these stars are very close to us, I seem to have a feeling that they are greeting us." Jin Xuanxuan smiled innocently, but what she said didn't seem like a joke, but she really thought so.
Huo Kole turned his head and looked at her inexplicably: "Did you eat too much, or did you read too much when you were a child, the stars twinkled and shiled, singing and laughing with you every day?" Are you sure you're fourteen, not just four? β
The smile on Jin Xuanxuan's face sank again, and she looked at this straight man with resentment, she had already given Huo Kole countless villains in her heart.
Gu Yunying smiled and did not answer.
It's so dangerous, fortunately she didn't say this feeling just now, otherwise wouldn't she be a naΓ―ve little girl like Jin Xuanxuan?
"It's not early, Xuanxuan and I will go back to rest first, and the vigil will be handed over to you." Gu Yunying nodded Jin Xuanxuan's shoulder, signaling her to ignore Huo Kuole and follow her into the carriage.
Jin Xuanxuan obediently followed.
Outside, only Huo Kole with a dazed face remained, and Jin Feilang, who was still slowly nibbling on chicken.
Huo Kole saw that Jin Feilang didn't even let go of a trace of chicken in the bones, and couldn't help but say, "Did you eat so cleanly?" β
As soon as the words fell, Jin Feilang raised his head, and his deep eyes flashed a faint blue light in the night.
Seeing Jin Feilang's expression clearly at the moment, Huo Kole's heart trembled, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.
Jin Feilang was unexpectedly not angry, just staring at Huo Kuole silently, his deep eyes indifferent like the night sky above his head that had been silent for ten thousand years.
It's like splitting him into two different people, who is emotional during the day and who is extraordinarily indifferent at night.
This was Huo Kole's own discovery, because he wasn't sure if he had made a mistake.
After a while, Jin Feilang's lips moved slightly, and he leisurely spit out the final chicken bone, he took out a piece of brocade from his sleeve and wiped his mouth, but the movements were not very skillful, like a habit that had only been formed recently.
"If you saw the people around you fall to the ground with hunger, you wouldn't ask such stupid questions." Jin Feilang's tone was cold, like a cold Gobi at night, which made Huo Kuole shiver.
Jin Feilang withdrew the Jinpa in his hand, looked down at the gnawed bones at his feet, and suddenly laughed at himself: "Of course, I haven't been hungry to that extent, I'm just a person who doesn't want to waste." β
As he spoke, he moved his gaze to the other side and saw the mess in that place, especially the one that belonged to Jin Xuanxuan.
This eldest lady, who has been dressed and eaten since she was a child, took two bites as if she had tasted it, and then felt like a general, and threw the wings in her hand aside very casually, without feeling that she had done anything wrong.
Jin Feilang remembered that he was picked up by the Jin family's caravan, and they also gave him a chicken, and he was so hungry that he swallowed it to the bone, causing those people to laugh and treat him as a funny thing, and from time to time they would throw a piece of food to him, and then stare at the way he was eating, pointing, and laughing louder and louder.
It wasn't until he returned to the Jin family, under the guidance of his ancestors, that he got rid of the habit of eating meat and chewing bones, and even learned to wipe his mouth with a good brocade handkerchief, which is a hypocritical and wasteful behavior.
Jin Feilang retracted his thoughts and injected his spiritual power into the sand piles in front of him, which suddenly turned into slippery quicksand, enveloping the remaining garbage.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Huo Kuole, and sure enough, he saw the puzzled expression on the fool's face, and explained in a light tone: "The smell of these things will attract some special demon beasts, I will throw these sand and garbage into the distance." β
As he spoke, Jin Feilang stood up and wanted to walk in one direction next to him.
Huo Kole also stood up after him and said nervously: "I'm with you!" β
Jin Feilang turned his head, as if he could see through his careful thoughts at a glance, and said, "We both leave together, are you going to keep vigil?" β
Huo Kole scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Then can you go to a place where I can see and act?" β
"Why?" Jin Feilang scolded back with a word.
Huo Kole's brain was racing rapidly, and he said: "I'm worried about your safety, this Gobi feels quite dangerous, although you are familiar with this place, but as the saying goes, those who are drowned will swim in the water, be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, haha, haha." β
said a bunch of yes and no, in Jin Feilang's seemingly clear gaze, Huo Kole was so embarrassed that he could only laugh dryly.
Jin Feilang controlled the quicksand at his feet, and only when Huo Kuole was about to laugh so embarrassed that he couldn't hold it anymore did he speak: "Yes, I'm in your sight." β
Huo Kole suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he watched Jin Feilang fly towards the end of his sight, and when he was about to become a small dot, he could not stop and throw the thing farther and farther.
For some reason, Huo Kole always felt a little strange.
It wasn't until Jin Feilang flew back towards him that Huo Kuole suddenly realized, how could this person know that the range of my investigation was so far?
Will he be able to guess, or measure, the range of my spy?
It's horrible!
Seeing Jin Feilang who kept coming, Huo Kuole swallowed in fright, couldn't help but take two steps back, and then said, "Brother Jin...... Kim Daoyou, you have worked hard. β
Jin Feilang patted the grit on the hem of his skirt and ignored him.
Huo Kuole was bored with himself, touched the bridge of his nose, and then saw Jin Feilang raise a small fire, but this fire had no temperature and looked cold.
"This is a special cold fire in the Gobi, some monsters are afraid of fire, and some monsters like the temperature of fire, this cold fire can drive away those who are afraid of fire, and it can also make those who are good at fire not turn around and leave." Jin Feilang saw that Huo Kole was curious about everything, and he couldn't see his stupidity, so he had to explain in one fell swoop.
"Oh, I see, Jin Daoyou, you're so amazing." Huo Kole simply sat next to this pile of cold fire, sitting face to face with Jin Feilang, and the vision of the two people combined, they could have a full view of the surrounding environment.
The two of them sat face to face like this, Jin Feilang behaved extremely indifferently at night, and Huo Kuole chattered a hundred words with him, and he would simply reply with a hmm.
Jin Feilang was bored with the cold fire in front of him with dry branches, but he was a little helpless in his heart.
Hasn't this fool even noticed the difference in him?
Because of his practice of the forbidden exercises, when he is in the daytime, his personality is extremely extreme, and his emotions are also very changeable, and he is easy to get angry when he encounters anything, and even hurt others.
In fact, if it weren't for the ancestor's action and sealing his ordinary feelings, I'm afraid he would have become a madman crying and laughing in the daytime.
It was only at night that the exercises did not control him deeply, which made him himself himself.
But because of the seal of the ancestor, his mood was even more indifferent.
Jin Feilang shook the withered branch in his hand, and sighed in his heart, the things in the Rakshasa Temple are really not simple.
"Jin Daoyou, in fact, I have one thing that I have wanted to ask you for a long time."
In the dead of night, Huo Kole finally couldn't hold back his impulse, leaned into Jin Feilang's ear, and asked softly: "Are the girls in the Western Regions more unrestrained?" β
Jin Feilang glanced at him: "...... What do you want to do? β
Huo Kole touched his nose embarrassedly, and the roots of his ears were a little red: "I'm thinking, if the girl in the Western Regions is more unrestrained, will there be a greater probability that I can find a Taoist partner?" β
Jin Feilang's eyebrows were raised, and he didn't reply, but his gaze gradually moved down, until he reached the part three inches below Huo Kuole's navel, and then sneered mercilessly: "Boy, like you, a girl in the Western Regions will not fall in love with you, but some people with special hobbies in the Western Regions should fall in love with you." β
The former fell in love with the latter and the latter fell in love, and the accent of Jin Feilang's words was different.
Huo Kole looked at him stunned, and after a long time, he came to his senses and jumped three feet away.
Not to mention the girl from the Western Regions now, he didn't even dare to approach Jin Feilang.
Huo Kuole wants to cry without tears, why is it so difficult to find a Taoist partner!
Why did he worship the mountain gate of the Taishang Sect instead of the Sword Sect that sent the Taoist companions!
ββ
Just when the two of them were keeping vigil outside, Jin Xuanxuan and Gu Yunying, who were sleeping in the carriage, had a strange phenomenon.
Their eyes were closed at a certain distance, but in the middle of them seemed to be connected with thin red threads, tying the two of them together little by little.
Jin Xuanxuan seemed to be a little uncomfortable, wanting to raise her arm and break free from those pervasive red lines, but failed.
Her consciousness wanted to break through the cage, but she couldn't open her eyes or break through the cage.
As if she was trapped in something, Jin Xuanxuan's dream was pitch black, and only bursts of Buddhist scripture chanting came from her, lingering around her.
In the darkness where she couldn't see her fingers, Jin Xuanxuan looked around, and suddenly a faint candlelight appeared in front of her, like the only driftwood in a drowning place, and she ran desperately towards getting the candlelight.
As she ran closer, the darkness around her faded, and more and more candlelight was produced as she went.
The candles lined her sides, as if leading her way.
Jin Xuanxuan kept walking and walking, the darkness around her had already turned red, and the golden candlelight illuminated the road in front of her.
I don't know how long she walked, but when she reached the 999th candle lamp, she suddenly stopped.
Because she came to the end of this road.
