Chapter 717: Daoist! Monk?
For the time being, regardless of the fate of the giant bear spirit who was pit twice by Yin Kuang in a row. When Yin Kuang and Lu Xialeng returned to the cave as a temporary foothold, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening.
Today's torrential rain from Yin Kuang covered an area of hundreds of miles. Naturally, the area was also washed away by the torrential rains. The water level of the river is significantly higher than before. The river, which had been gentle, was now turbulent. The sound of running water echoes through the valley.
Even the "lazy and slow" quicksand river was obviously "impatient" at this time.
Standing outside the cave, Yin Kuang and Lu Xialeng saw the fire flickering in the cave. Apparently none of them are resting - also, after such a big thing, who is in the mood to rest?
When Yin Kuang and Lu Xialeng walked into the cave, they silently walked to the two empty seats and sat down.
So ten people formed a circle around the campfire. On this cold night, it is undoubtedly a happy thing to have a jumping campfire to keep warm.
However, there is still a vacant seat, which is between Pan Longtao and Zeng Fei. It seems that this empty seat will always be empty in that place......
No one spoke. Just sit quietly like that. No one looks at anyone. Ten pairs of eyes stared motionlessly at the burning bonfire.
What can be said? Can't say anything. At this point, it's useless to say more - that's what colleges and universities teach them! It is better to be silent than to speak.
Tang Rou added firewood to the bonfire one by one, making the bonfire more and more prosperous. And the faces of the people were also roasted red. And this one sat for more than an hour.
Finally, Li Shuangmu opened his mouth and said, "Don't sit still, everyone." Let's follow the previous arrangement, one team rests, and the other team keeps vigil. ”
After listening to Li Shuangmu's words, everyone reacted slightly.
So, Yin Kuang, Qian Qianqian, Tang Rouyu, Zeng Fei, and Pan Longtao continued to sit and keep vigil. The remaining five went into the depths of the cave to rest.
In fact, Wei Ming's death did not make everyone feel too sentimental. Because most people think that when they return to college, they can still see Wei Ming. What everyone is even more worried about is their respective fates. Because everyone knows that in this S-class scene world, they can die at any time. This time it's Wei Ming, so next time...... And who will it be? This fear of dying at any moment is the real source of silence.
Qian Qianqian buried her head in Yin Kuang's arms, hugging Yin Kuang's waist tightly, her expression gloomy and guilty.
"I'm useless." Qian Qianqian said in a low voice, "It's all my fault for making random opinions." If I hadn't talked nonsense, we wouldn't have gotten rid of any demons. If you don't get rid of the demon, you won't encounter the giant bear spirit. That way, Wei Ming, he wouldn't have to die. If I had come up with a way to treat it earlier, Wei Ming wouldn't have died. It's all my fault. As she spoke, Qian Qianqian choked up and buried her head deeper.
Yin Kuang did not interrupt Qian Qianqian's words. Instead, he listened quietly. He knew that if Qian Qianqian didn't say these words, she could only suppress them in her heart, which would cause more serious consequences. Qian Qianqian couldn't tell others, so she could only tell herself. Yin Kuang only needs to be a loyal listener.
Qian Qianqian whimpered for a while, and tears wet the clothes on Yin Kuang's chest. When the whimpering voice gradually weakened, Yin Kuangcai said softly: "Are you better?" ”
"Hmm." Qian Qianqian rubbed Yin Kuang's chest with her forehead, obviously nodding.
Yin Kuang said: "When it's better, you can rest on me for a while." Come, let's sit down. Said to sit down, Yin Kuang directly picked her up, let her put her on his lap, and held her in his arms, "There are still more than two hours before the shift." You're tired today, too. Rest well. Qian Qianqian asked, "What about you?" Yin Kuang said: "I'm in good spirits." Besides, there is G virus, and I have been fine without rest for dozens of days. ”
Qian Qianqian is indeed tired, physically and mentally exhausted. So he said, "Okay then." After speaking, he leaned in front of Yin Kuang and kissed him, then put his face in Yin Kuang's arms and gradually fell asleep.
At this time, Yin Kuang seemed to feel a pair of eyes looking behind him. And when he subconsciously turned his head, the feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared. Yin Kuang originally wanted to use the "G virus eye" to see who it was. But when I thought about it, I dispelled this idea. Since it is behind itself, it must be its own person. Maybe the other party saw it by accident? Yin Kuang also felt that there was no need to investigate so deeply.
Behind Yin Kuang not far away, Tang Rouyu leaned on a big tree that was big enough to hide her body, raising her eyes to look up at the dark night sky. Under the reflection of the night sky, her eyes seemed even more gloomy. Then she let out a long sigh. Then, they drifted away, and finally disappeared into the dark night.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, the weather was clear and the sun was shining.
Yin Kuang and Tang Rouyu said goodbye to everyone for the time being and rushed to Hou Jianji together. Yin Kuang is to exchange for the "exorcism contribution" of killing the willow demon. And Tang Rouyu went to collect intelligence information.
When the two of them landed on the outskirts of Hou Jianji, Yin Kuang saw that Tang Rouyu looked bad, so he asked, "Are you unwell today?" The face looks so bad. Tang Rouyu touched her delicate and fair cheeks and said, "Oh? Have it? It's okay. Maybe it was blown by the wind, so it didn't matter. "How powerful is Yin Kuang's ability to observe words and colors? At a glance, he knew that Tang Rouyu had something on his mind. But since she didn't say it, Yin Kuang was embarrassed to ask. He said, "If you feel uncomfortable, don't force it." Your body matters. Tang Rouyu smiled and nodded.
However, just as Yin Kuang turned around and walked towards the city gate, Tang Rouyu suddenly said: "Yin Kuang, I have a question for you......" Yin Kuang turned around and wondered: "What is the problem?" Tang Rouyu pursed her lips and said, "If my life and Qianqian are in danger at the same time, and you can only save one of us, you ...... Who will be saved? But after asking, Tang Rouyu sighed in distress and said, "I really asked such a stupid question." Maybe I really didn't have a good rest yesterday and my mind was a little confused. Don't take it personally. ”
Yin Kuang said secretly: "You asked everything, why didn't you take it to heart?" So Yin Kuang stared at Tang Rouyu and said solemnly: "I will save both of you!" Tang Rouyu sighed: "But I said, you can only save one." Your answer makes me think that you are very insincere. Forget it, I'll talk about it. You really don't have to take it to heart. Saying that, she smiled and continued, "Yin Kuang, you remember, Sister Qian is the person you should save. As for me, I'll protect myself. After speaking, he passed by Yin Kuang.
Yin Kuang was silent for a while, then sighed, and caught up with Tang Rouyu and entered the city with her. After entering the city, Tang Rou said, "Then let's go our separate ways." Meet here in an hour. Yin Kuang said "yes", and Tang Rouyu gradually walked into the crowd. Seeing her figure gradually overwhelmed by the flow of people, Yin Kuang smiled bitterly, "Then what can I do?" ”
Next, Yin Kuang came to the yamen. Coincidentally, I met the catcher again today. As soon as he saw Yin Kuang, he was very excited, and shouted one by one, saying that in addition to a big harm to the people, he also wanted to pull Yin Kuang to receive the reward. Yin Kuang wondered, he hadn't taken out the willow demon's wicker yet, could it be that he would know about it first? After asking carefully, Yin Kuang understood. It turned out that the monster in the quicksand river hadn't shown up in the past few days, and he thought that Yin Kuang had eliminated it. So, Yin Kuang told him the truth.
Caught up in a daze, "Why haven't you received any news of that monster infestation in the past few days?" Yin Kuang said: "Maybe he has eaten people from several villages, and he needs to digest it slowly." Anyway, we have been guarding the entrance of the small fishing village for the past few days, and we haven't seen the monster appear. Catch Kuai smiled bitterly, confessed the crime, and then asked Yin Kuang's intention.
Yin Kuang took out the willow demon and explained the reason. The catcher said: "Shahe Town? It's a town that few people visit. I heard that the people there are not normal, they are all crazy. There are rumors around that they buried the girl alive and ate human flesh raw, but I don't know if it's true or not. Yin Kuang didn't care about this, anyway, the town no longer existed. Originally, Yin Kuang wanted to ask some things about the river demon of the quicksand river, but he didn't know much about the catch, so Yin Kuang could only exchange the contribution and leave. This time, he didn't use up the 20 points of contribution immediately, so he saved it first, ready to go to the yamen in the big city when he had time.
An hour later, Yin Kuang and Tang Rouyu converged at the city gate. Yin Kuang asked her, "Did you find any valuable news?" Tang Rouyu sighed and said, "It's all rumors." It's about yesterday's thundershower. Some people say that it was the heavenly gods who sent down heavenly punishments to punish the people of Shahe Town. It can be seen that the reputation of Nashahe Town is quite poor. ”
Yin Kuang said, "Then let's rush back." ”
However, at this time, there was a sudden shouting from behind the two.
"The Great Immortal of Huangshan wants to get rid of the river demon, and the idle people retreat at a fast speed, so as not to collide with the immortal driving of the Great Immortal."
"Yes, yes! Get rid of demons! Flash aside! ”
“……”
Yin Kuang and Tang Rouyu were also squeezed to the side of the road by the surging crowd. Curiously looking up, he saw three people in yellow coats surrounded by a yellow-robed Taoist priest, shouting five and six, with his toes high, eager to put the soles of his feet to the sky. Then a group of people gathered around them to join in the fun, helping to shout. And when Yin Kuang and the others saw the Taoist priest with a wooden sword and a gossip mirror, both of them looked at each other.
It turned out that the "Great Immortal of Huangshan" turned out to be the Taoist priest who appeared in the first scene of the plot "Don't want salted fish, but gold and silver".
Tang Rou said, "It's weird. Why didn't I hear of any 'Huangshan Daxian' just now? ”
And this is, Yin Kuang lightly touched Tang Rouyu, pointed his finger, and said, "Look at ......"
Tang Rouyu looked at Yin Kuang's hand, "It's him!?" ”
It turned out that the person Yin Kuang was referring to turned out to be the protagonist of "Journey to the West", Chen Xuanzang!
I saw that he had unkempt hair, a tattered dress full of patches, and a green bamboo cane in his hand, and a cloth bag sewn from rags was tied to the cane, almost like a beggar. Why "almost" instead of "is"? That's because his face is very white, as white as a piece of white jade. With that white and handsome face, it's really hard to associate him with a beggar.
He had just returned from outside the city, and before he could enter the city, he was blocked by a crowd of people at the city gate. So, like a curious baby, he stood on tiptoe to see what was going on. I found that I couldn't see it on my tiptoes, so I could only jump. So it jumped up and down like a kangaroo, and it looked quite funny. Yin Kuang was even worried that his clothes would be torn apart by him like this.
Although it is difficult to admit it sensually, Yin Kuang and Tang Rouyu have to face the reality that "he is indeed Chen Xuanzang".
The main owner has appeared, and it is time to "start work" again.
