Xiao Jing found a lot of firewood, all of which were nearby dry branches and hay, and lit a bonfire, in late autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and if you warm up a lot at night, you will be cold.

The three of them found a sheltered area between the three trees, Xiao Jing sat on one side, and the two girls sat on the other side, staring at the fire in a daze with ponytails, Yue Yan's eyes were deep, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The three of them have not yet gotten rid of the previous time, this setback has too much impact on people, especially Xiao Jing, he has survived such a big scene before, but this time he almost died, if it wasn't for Yu Wenjing sacrificing his life to save him, he would have been a puddle of water on the ground.

There used to be a saying, triumph over nature!

But is it true? Adventurers trekked across the desert, mountaineers climbed a mountain, and some claimed that they had conquered the desert and conquered the mountains!

But really, you should be glad that the desert and the mountains did not show their violent side as you passed, and you should thank it for its mercy, instead of complacently talking about conquest!

The more Xiao Jing explores, the more he realizes his own insignificance and the greatness of nature.

What is the strength of one person compared to the whole world? To put it bluntly, aren't people themselves a part of the world?

Xiao Jing warned himself that he must be in awe at all times and forge ahead.

"What did you do before?"

The sudden question interrupted Xiao Jing's contemplation, Xiao Jing looked at Yue Yan who was asking, smiled slightly, and said, "Why do you ask that?"

Yue Yan frowned and thought for a while, and said, "You...... Something is different. ”

As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and said with certainty: "You look like a monk!"

Xiao Jing almost squirted out a mouthful of water,, how am I like a monk, what do you think I look like?

"How come? Are you saying that I have the temperament of a high-ranking monk?" Xiao Jing said.

"No! because you have a direction!" Yue Yan said, she seemed to remember something, and said thoughtfully: "Monk...... Or are believers just people who look in one direction and keep going?"

When she said this, Yue Yan's eyes appeared in front of her pilgrims who had been walking all the way on the pilgrimage road, and that was faith.

Xiao Jing's smile slowly faded, leaving a trace in the end, but this smile seemed to reveal incomparable firmness: "That's right, I have a direction!"

At this moment, Xiao Jing didn't have the intention of joking, he said this sentence very seriously.

He didn't expect Yue Yan to care about this, so he asked, "You don't look like someone who will pay attention to this, why do you say that?"

Yue Yan looked down at the bonfire, her eyes reflected fireworks, as if her eyes were also on fire: "Because, someone once told me, 'You must have faith'!"

Xiao Jing keenly noticed that a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed on her face, so she didn't ask who said it.

"Faith?" he said, his gaze suddenly distant, "a very lofty title, in fact, it is just a little ridiculous insistence. ”

Xiao Jing smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Maybe many people will think that my brain is broken, in this world, just take care of yourself!" They will probably say so, but I just want to be nosy." ”

Yue Yan and Ponytail didn't make a sound, just looked at him and said, Xiao Jing continued: "From the catastrophe to the present, I have seen many people die, and this kind of thing will continue to happen, and I want it to not happen! Or, at least it will happen less." ”

The bonfire made a crackling sound of wood burning, Xiao Jing picked up a piece of wood as a burning stick, and picked the fire upwards to make the fire burn stronger.

"The one who laughs at you, you don't have to pay attention to him!" Yue Yan's cold voice came from under her lowered head: "Only a fool would laugh at others for being a fool. ”

The ponytail also echoed: "That's right, it's always good to have ideals, um!" and nodded again and again, as if to show that he agreed with Xiao Jing very much.

Xiao Jing knew that they also wanted to comfort themselves, as emotional girls, they could still think of enduring the pain and comforting others after losing their companions, I have to say that Li Xiaoyue with ponytails is also a kind and gentle girl in life.

But Xiao Jing had seen the scene when she picked up the baton, and the fierceness on her face made Xiao Jing tremble a little. Often the more gentle people are, the more fierce they are, which is a great philosophy of life.

Xiao Jing looked at his watch, it was already more than eight o'clock at night, so he said, "You guys are on duty at night, I'll sleep for a while, and call me to get up at eleven o'clock to change shifts." ”

Yue Yan pulled Li Xiaoyue outside to guard without saying a word, and the vigilance range must be slightly increased at night, because the sleeping people are almost unguarded, and if they are in the usual vigilance range, they are easy to be approached, so there is almost no room for reaction.

When she arrived at a position about ten meters away from Xiao Jing, Yue Yan was like an old monk, her eyes were half-open and half-closed, and she seemed to be not vigilant, but in fact, her five senses were already constantly scouting for information.

But Li Xiaoyue seemed to be slightly angry, and Yue Yan also knew that after a few minutes, her voice was calm and asked, "Do you have some emotions?"

"Of course!" Li Xiaoyue said: "Why did a boy instruct us to be a sentry, this is his job!"

Yue Yan still said indifferently: "Can he be on guard all night?"

Li Xiaoyue hesitated and said, "Uh...... No, but what does that have to do with what I'm saying?"

"Since you can't, then you always have to wake us up in the middle of the night, would you like to get up at twelve o'clock in the evening until dawn?" Yue Yan asked rhetorically.

Li Xiaoyue somewhat understood: "Okay, I don't want to." Xiao Jing is actually taking care of us, right? ”

Seeing that she was clear, Yue Yan stopped answering, and the old monk sat on a moisture-proof mat as if she was calm.

Soon, at twelve o'clock in the evening, Xiao Jing was woken up, he looked at his watch, and found that it was an hour later than his scheduled time, knowing that they wanted him to sleep for an extra hour, he smiled heartily, and without saying much, he sorted out his sleeping bag and went out to be on guard.

Xiao Jing sat down cross-legged on the moisture-proof mat, and after a while, he already felt a little chilly, he was only wearing a short-sleeved T and a jacket, which was a little low enough to stop the cold wind in the middle of the night in November.

He hugged his shoulders, and suddenly felt that he was so lonely, no friends, no relatives, even his companions were dead, and this cold night also aggravated his negative emotions, he only felt that he had achieved nothing, no matter what he did, he would fail, and then let the people around him pay the price for his uselessness!

Yu Chao is like this, and Yu Wenjing is like this!

Can I really do it?" he asked.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind him, and Xiao Jing looked back and found that it was Yue Yan.

Xiao Jing asked her with her eyes why she didn't go to sleep, Yue Yan didn't say anything, just threw a blanket on him, and turned to leave.

Yue Yan's attitude was very cold, but Xiao Jing knew that her character was like this, and the blanket on her body made him feel a warmth in his heart, he was not alone, and he had a companion, didn't he?

Although this companion is not very friendly......

Xiao Jing wrapped himself in a blanket, as if he was surrounded by his companions, and suddenly he didn't feel cold!

Xiao Jing blamed himself a little, since he knew that his ability was insufficient, he had time to feel sorry for himself, so it was better to use this time to cultivate.

Thinking of this, he tightened the blanket and began to enter the shallow level of cultivation, leaving a part of his mind for vigilance, his five senses are more acute than ordinary people, even if it is only a part of his mind, it is enough to do a good job of vigilance.

He opened his inner gaze and looked at the meridians like rivers, and the aura was like a river rushing, and the stream flowed into the river, and the river flowed into the river, and the river would enter a dark place, like a mud cow into the sea, and disappear.

This situation has been going on for a long time, Xiao Jing doesn't know what that darkness is, only that it is like a bottomless pit devouring the aura, and the aura that enters Xiao Jing's body must be taken away by it at least ninety, and the rest will be used to strengthen the meridians and body.

But this time, Xiao Jing didn't intend to consume it like this, this loss gave him a big blow, his strength was indeed too weak, which made many things irretrievable, and he had an urgent urge to improve his strength.

He's going to try to solve this problem once and for all today, at least to figure out what the hell is going on with this thing!

He carefully condensed his mind into a small strand, slowly probing down the meridians, and when he reached the largest meridians, he felt a faint suction coming from front of him, and it was constantly increasing.

Soon, the attraction increased to the point that Xiao Jing needed to spend a little energy to resist, it was here before, he sensed the threat and returned decisively, this time, he made up his mind and vowed not to give up until he achieved his goal!

As he advanced, the meridians had become wider and wider, and in Xiao Jing's senses, they had become so wide that they could barely see the edges, but he could still feel that a trace of spiritual energy had penetrated into the meridians, allowing the meridians to continue to expand and be able to accommodate a larger amount of spiritual energy.

Gradually, the aura torrent seemed to begin to spin, and a centrifugal force wanted to throw him against the meridian wall, and the flow speed became more and more turbulent, making a sound like a tide.

The torrent laps on the meridian wall, stirring up water vapor in the sky, and at the bottom of the torrent, the meridian wall secretes a substance, allowing the impurities in the aura to continue to precipitate, sink to the bottom, and are also absorbed, and then wait for the opportunity to be expelled from the body.

But Xiao Jing still didn't have time to look at these never-before-seen wonders, he couldn't control his speed, and stumbled all the way with the surging torrent, crashing directly into the black hollow.

Xiao Jing tried his best to stop, but in vain, the flow speed suddenly accelerated, there seemed to be a boundary, and the black hole's control over this limit was extremely strong!

made Xiao Jing still in a safe environment one moment, and the next second he couldn't control the situation!

He unstoppably and involuntarily plunged into that unknown place.
