107 Desolation

How many days had they been in the Dark Pavilion of Trials? Ten days? Twenty days?

Qiuqiu can't remember clearly.

In short, the moment she left the Trial Pavilion and the sun finally shone on her body again, Qiuqiu almost cried with joy, she never felt that the sun was so lovely. Bright, warm, she breathed freely, eager to scream a few times to express her chest.

β€”β€”Looking up at the sky for too long, the end is that the sun pierces the eyes, and tears are left on the face.

Well, this can be regarded as happiness and sorrow in another sense.

Qiuqiu covered her face and wiped her tears, sat down cross-legged, and began to take stock of her gains in the Trial Pavilion.

The effort is hard, but the results are fruitful.

In addition to the golden threaded clothes, she finally got a small medicine pod. The tripod is too small, it is simply a mini tripod, which can be held up with one hand, only the size of a palm. But Xiaoding is also a ding, and Qiuqiu laughed at it. In addition, there is a cheat book, a hairpin whose purpose is not known for the time being. Because the hairpin is very feminine, it also belongs to her.

Shi'er Guan Wei also gained something, but none of them counted things as hard as Qiuqiu.

"I'm not in a hurry today, it's not early, so I'll rest for the night."

Qiuqiu was satisfied and put the things back into the Qiankun bag: "In the past few days, either I will take pills, or I will gnaw dry food, and I will burn some hot soup to drink while I am free." ”

She looked up and looked at the completely different scenery around her: "This ...... Is this still the second layer? ”

"This is the entrance to the third floor."

Qiuqiu was very curious, and looked left and right while lighting a fire, almost spilling water on herself.

The fire was lit, and the soup was quickly cooked, and it was bubbling in the pot.

The soup is cooked thickly and fragrant.

Qiuqiu filled the soup, first to Shi'er, then to Guan Wei a bowl, and finally to himself.

The soup was hot, hot and fragrant, and when you drank it, you felt alive.

In the final analysis, Qiuqiu still hasn't completely adapted to the life of cultivation, the evening drum and morning bell, the ancient well has no waves, boring and cold. It's been a long time like that, and I feel like I'm not alive at all.

She loves a living, vital life. Like the big white family, like a fire, vigorous vitality. In her opinion, monasticism is meaningful, but so is a life full of the smell of fireworks in the world.

Although the latter is very ephemeral and ephemeral.

Stir in a bowl with a spoon, which contains meat cubes, shrimp, ham, daylily, mushrooms, and choy sum, which is rich and delicious. The thick soup slid through the tip of the tongue and throat and fell to the stomach.

Qiuqiu's eyes narrowed, and her expression was like a satisfied cat.

Shi'er watched the heat of the soup rise, pondered for a long time, and then remembered to take a sip.

Guan Wei didn't seem to feel hot at all, and when he raised his head, a bowl of soup bottomed out.

He didn't know what the soup tasted like or what was in it.

Qiuqiu shook her head, what a waste.

Qiuqiu slept in a felt blanket near the fire, and before dawn she opened her eyes in a daze.

The firewood turned into charcoal embers, and there were subtle sparks that lit up as soon as the wind blew. The wind stopped, and Mars became dim again.

She stretched and stood up.

The morning air is particularly fresh, and there is even a refreshing sweetness in the mouth.

The fragrance of the blades of grass, the slight tide of autumn frost, and the birds in the woods began to chirp.

Everything around me is waking up.

Qiuqiu washed her face and took out a comb to comb her hair.

When Shi'er slowly approached, he saw such a calm and calm scene.

The stream was flowing loudly, and Qiuqiu was sitting on the bluestone by the stream and combing her hair.

She was wearing a jade-colored shirt, her arms raised, and the sleeves of her shirt slid to her elbows, revealing her fair and beautiful arms. She combed her hair and braided it in two. Hearing the sound of Shi'er's approaching footsteps, he raised his head and smiled at him.

Shi'er sat down beside her.

"You're going to practice your sword?"

"Hmm."

Qiuqiu tied her hair and handed the hairband to Shi'er: "Help me tie it." ”

In the past, Shi'er also helped her tie her hairband, and Qiuqiu had long been accustomed to it.

Shi'er tied the hairband for her and tied a very standard bow.

Qiuqiu took a look at the small mirror that Shi'er gave her, and she was very satisfied.

This mirror is the one that Shi'er gave her in the Jiugong Array, and after Qiuqiu used it, she honestly put it in her pocket. The mirror was so practical that it would be of much more use to her than it was in Shi'er's hands.

The morning is cool in the mountains and forests, and the sun rises over the mountains to the east.

Qiuqiu stood up: "It's time for us to hit the road again." ”

"Wait, the laces are loose again."

Shi'er naturally tied her shoelaces for her.

Qiuqiu lowered her head and looked at the top of his head, a little distracted.

They are too familiar with each other, and they have lived together for so long, and they have long been infected with each other's habits and breath.

Shi'er glanced up at her.

The golden light of the sun shone in his eyes, and it was so bright and moving.

Qiuqiu lost her mind for a moment.

When she came back to her senses, Shi'er kissed her.

His lips were fresh with the scent of grass and trees, and Qiuqiu's mind was blank, and he even forgot to breathe.

Shi'er's hand hugged her tightly, Qiuqiu didn't know when her arms wrapped around his neck, she almost forgot everything, and her heart was beating very quickly in her chest, very heavy, again and again, like a drum. There was something buzzing in her ears, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be spinning, making her dizzy and her legs too weak to stand.

Until Shi'er hugged her and let her lean on his shoulder, Qiuqiu hadn't come back to her senses.

Her face was so hot that she was short of breath, and her whole strength was taken away, so she could only lean softly on Shi'er's body, and she could only stand up with his support.

He didn't say hello no matter how he greeted, and suddenly he ......

But it's really weird to say hello to this kind of thing. Do you want this high-minded guy to ask her seriously, "Can I kiss you"?

That scene Qiuqiu really can't imagine.

She pushed, and Shi'er let go.

Qiuqiu turned around and walked back first. Her steps were a little unnatural at first, but then she picked up speed, light as a fawn, and quickly reached the top of the slope.

For most of the next day, she didn't even look at Shi'er.

It's not that he's angry, it's that Qiuqiu doesn't know what kind of expression to use to face him.

Is it a straight face? Could he have misunderstood that she was annoyed?

She was a little annoyed, but only a little.

But to smile at him? That's even more impossible.

Qiuqiu couldn't do nothing, she couldn't forget the feeling that the kiss brought her in the morning.

Of course, it is not as exaggerated as the sky falling apart, but she ...... It was a strange feeling, so strange that she was a little scared.

Her body didn't seem to belong to her anymore, those strange reactions, that strange weakness, that ...... It was too complicated for her to describe.

So she could only keep herself from going to see Shi'er.

But not looking at it doesn't mean that she can ignore his existence.

On the contrary, although her eyes did not look at him, the senses all over her body seemed to become doubly acute.

His ears could hear his movements, his nose seemed to be able to smell his breath, and even his skin seemed to be covered with sensors that accurately captured his movements.

She even felt that her lips still had the touch of that time, crispy and numb, hotter than usual.

Guan Wei was silent as always, as if he didn't feel Qiuqiu's abnormality at all.

Qiuqiu felt that Guan Wei was such a deaf and clear-sighted person, maybe he had already noticed her strangeness, pretending to be confused, but he actually understood it in his heart.

She was even more embarrassed to think about it.

She had to allow herself to divert her attention to other things.

For example, the new environment they are facing now.

The third layer of the Trial Cave was different from Qiuqiu's imagination.

How can it be different?

The first layer is simply a barren mountain and wilderness, and the second layer has a trial pavilion, and there are all kinds of artificial mechanisms in the trial pavilion, and there are even puppets like puppets that can almost exist as if they were real.

But the third floor is full of human tracks.

Of course, it is a man-made trace of a long time ago.

There are dilapidated houses, deserted villages, and even water-powered mills by the river. Of course, things like the wooden axle rod and the water wheel blade have long since disappeared over the years, but the heavy stone mill is still there.

"There have been people here before?"

"Maybe."

Qiuqiu didn't know what kind of place this place was before it became a trial cave. Maybe it's a quiet village where people live and work in peace.

But where have all those people gone?

Not only that, but they even saw a section of the city wall.

It is not the kind of small city that uses mud bricks and stones to build the city wall, but a serious city wall with bluestone as the base and bricks layer by layer, although it has gone through a long period of time, it has not been completely submerged by barren trees and weeds.

They continued along the city walls. After walking a short distance, a city appeared in front of me.

Or rather, a city once arose.

It was empty and silent, and weeds were growing tenaciously through the cracks in the stones, destroying the bluestone streets beyond recognition. Most of the houses on both sides of the road are dilapidated and desolate, with only ruins remaining.

Qiuqiu turned around and looked carefully, looking carefully where it should be the city gate.

She found two ancient characters.

"Hwaseong?" Qiuqiu read it softly.

From the time they set off until now, for most of the day, they have not encountered any fierce beasts, nor have they had any difficulties.

Where is the trial of the third layer?

Is there any mystery in this deserted city?

The guard walked from behind the broken wall on the side of the road: "There was a fire here, and the stone walls behind it were all blackened. ”

Shi'er said, "Let's go ahead and have a look." ”

They walked along the stone road.

It is common sense that the center of a city, and the location to the north, is usually the center of the city, the political and economic center.
