Chapter 23: The Ghost Tower
Under the candlelight, Xinyi and I sat together, and I was thinking about the deep meaning of the word "fate".
I then asked, "What is your fate?" Is it to help your superiors unlock the secret of the ghost mirror? ”
Xinyi didn't reply, just stared at the candlelight and continued to frown. I guess my question has touched her bottom line, and she probably won't tell me about her mission.
"Everything I do...... Just to fulfill my master's wish? ”
Xinyi's sudden relief made me overjoyed: "Your master? ”
"That's right! My superior is my master, I was adopted and raised by my master since I was a child, and my life after that, I am living to repay my master's nurturing grace! ”
Xinyi's tone was very sincere, I knew that if I wanted to understand Xinyi, I had to understand her master first, so I said, "Your master must be very great, he must treat you like her own daughter!" ”
Xin Yi was silent for a long time before replying: "In order to repay the kindness of parenting, I have done a lot of things with my master that backfired, and every time I did what the master said, I was never allowed to ask the reason, including letting me lurk by your side!" So that's my fate! ”
Xinyi's tone was relatively cold when she said this, and I could feel between the lines that she was deep in her heart, as if she was full of helplessness.
However, I heard her say that she was also arranged by her master to sneak up on me at the beginning, which made me wonder a little, what is the benefit of sneaking around me, can I really afford to look down on my three words "little wolf master"?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and then I asked, "I said, what is the purpose of your master to bring you to me?" If you're looking for a ghost mirror, I can't help you! ”
Xin Yi replied: "In addition to solving the mystery of the ghost mirror in the master's life, he is still looking for three people!" ”
As soon as I heard this, I had a little clue in my head: "Could it be that my father is one of the three people your master is looking for...... Lord Wolf? ”
"Not bad!" Xinyi nodded: "Your father is just one of them, and about the other two, the master has never mentioned it to me!" ”
Xinyi then said: "The master often said that the human body is just a stinky skin, and most people in the world are locked in their souls by this skin, and the ghost mirror is a divine object that can sublimate the soul, so even if he uses his whole life, he has to solve the mystery of the ghost mirror!" ”
Xin Yi sighed again after speaking: "I don't know what the master means by this, none of us who are subordinates have ever been able to really enter his heart!" ”
From Xinyi's mouth, I probably have a little impression of him as a master, she said that she has been with the master for more than 20 years and has never really understood him, which does sound mysterious.
"Hey, I said, don't you have a senior brother Xie Zhipeng? What is his relationship with you and your master? ”
Xinyi heard me mention her senior brother, and her brows wrinkled unconsciously: "Senior brother is arrogant by nature, and he only does what he does to please his master, and it is because of this that he has taken the position of the big boss!" I already felt like I was doing like the walking dead, and seeing what my brother did made me even more disgusted! What's more, what I do is full of dangers, even if I am a fellow disciple and brother, it is inevitable that I will intrigue and deceive, so I must not trust anyone except to obey the master's arrangement, all problems can only be solved by myself, it seems that the team is huge, but in fact I am alone, no friends, no teammates! ”
Xinyi sighed when she said this, it seems that she doesn't feel very good about this senior brother, now my heart is a little more comfortable, I originally imagined him as a rival in love, but now it seems that this is necessary!
I didn't feel like I glanced at Xinyi again, her tightly knit brows had relaxed, she took a long breath, and said, "The things that have been suppressed in my heart for more than 20 years are finally said today, and I feel much better now, Brother Yang, don't tell anyone what I told you!" ”
I smiled and nodded, but I was very curious about Xinyi's senior brother, and I wanted to ask again, but who expected Xinyi to interrupt me directly: "Brother Yang, it's not too early, rest early, and continue to rush tomorrow!" ”
I ate a closed door, feeling a little unhappy, at this moment, I suddenly felt a sinking on my left shoulder, and when I looked back, Xinyi actually leaned her head on my shoulder!
My little heart was beating wildly, and I could almost hear my own heartbeat!
"Xinyi...... You ......"
"Don't talk! Let me lean for a while, just for a minute! ”
"Oh! That...... Then you lean on it! ”
I was stunned, neither moving nor moving, and suddenly I had a lot of thoughts in my heart: I don't know if Xinyi is comfortable leaning on like this, should I slowly lower my shoulders a little so that she can lean more naturally, or should I put my hand on her shoulder...... And then I actually started counting seconds in my head, 1, 2...... 58、59!
When I read 60, Xinyi really left my shoulder: "Okay, rest, good night Brother Yang!" ”
Xinyi looked at me again and slipped into her sleeping bag, and by the time I came to my senses, there was no movement on her side.
I had to slowly get into the sleeping bag, but my heart couldn't calm down for a long time, I have known Xinyi for so long, and I don't know if that minute just now means that our relationship has progressed? With excitement and excitement in my heart, I also fell asleep in a daze.
……
When we woke up the next day, we had breakfast and were ready to go on our way, and none of us talked about last night.
We continued to walk all the way north for half a day, until a cold wind blew in our faces, and the earthen walls and lanes were ...... It's finally gone! It seems like we've come to another world.
In front of him, there is a straight avenue six or seven meters wide paved with bluestone slabs and bricks, and the two sides of the avenue are covered with all kinds of buildings, of different heights, densely packed, stretching along the avenue to both sides. All the buildings were made of clay, and the surface was a dark red color, and I felt like I smelled an ancient smell.
"This is the real ghost town, and we're finally here!" Xinyi said excitedly.
At this moment, all my attention was drawn to these buildings, and I was really puzzled, and I couldn't help but ask, "Why are there so many buildings here?" Could it be that there was also a thousand-year-old country here? ”
Xinyi said excitedly: "This is directly below the Loulan ruins, and we have long suspected that this place may be buried in the depths of the desert...... The ancient country of Loulan! ”
I was taken aback: "Ghost town...... Is it the ancient country of Loulan? ”
Xinyi nodded when she heard this, and then began to slowly step on the bluestone slab bricks, I was surprised and surprised, and immediately followed and walked with her. We walked slowly along the avenue, and the distance where the flashlight could not shine was a gray patch, and I didn't know how long the road was.
Stepping on the bluestone slab bricks will make a crisp sound, and then facing the cold wind blowing in my face, it makes me feel that the atmosphere is a little weird.
We walked forward for a while, and suddenly, we found a building in front of us...... There was a bright light! To be precise, the bright light was on the first floor of that building, and Xinyi and I were taken aback when we saw it, could it be that there was someone in the house?
The light came out of the crack in a door on the first floor of that building, and I stared at it carefully for a while, and suddenly, a scene that suffocated me happened, and I found that the light in the room would dim every few seconds, and the dimming time was extremely short, almost less than half a second, and then it would suddenly brighten again! It keeps repeating itself so brightly and darkly!
Xinyi and I unconsciously glanced at each other when we saw it, and said in our hearts that it would not be ...... in the house Hell!
