Chapter 57: Gems on the Road
Although he couldn't see it, the blind man still carefully watched the movements around him, and he heard the voices of the Evil Devourer and General Guo coming from a long distance, and before they could get closer, he took the initiative to call them over, which was unprecedented, and the blind man actually took the initiative to call the two of them.
The Evil Devourer and General Guo came over, and saw that Xiao Qingqian was still asleep, and the Evil Devouring Monarch naturally spared no effort to wake her up, but the Qimen Illusion Mind Technique didn't seem to have any effect on her, she was still completely immersed in her dreams, immersed in many regrets, immersed in whether the ending would be different if it wasn't like that at that time, and she even imagined many possibilities, maybe that would have avoided those bad endings.
At this moment, many things that were silent in her heart gradually floated in her heart, once those even if it was a small thing, encouraged by emotions and continuous accumulation, often made her feel frustrated, sometimes slumped, she was not good at talking, the surface was strong and optimistic, but the bottom of her heart was buried with sadness, when she looked back, she often felt that there was no one behind her, and when she thought that she was so lonely, tears flowed out at once.
"Why are you still crying?" General Guo saw tears flowing from the corners of Xiao Qingqian's eyes, and he didn't know how to help her for a while.
"She must be immersed in grief, and if she is not woken up in time, she may sink deeper and deeper." The Evil Devourer couldn't help but be worried.
"So what are you going to do? Eater the evil spirit, help her. ”
"I'll use the illusion to probe and see if I can help her solve it." Saying that, the Evil Devouring Monarch cast the Illusion Technique again, but he still couldn't penetrate it, he didn't understand the world in which Xiao Qingqian lived, and he couldn't help her at all. The Evil Devourer retracted his formation regretfully, sighed and said, "I can't help her, it's up to her own creation." ”
"If she doesn't wake up, how are we going to get out?" General Guo is most worried about this.
"Follow the astrolabe, of course." The Evil Devourer said, trying to take the astrolabe in Xiao Qingqian's pocket, but he didn't expect to be blocked by the blind man, the blind man was taken care of by Xiao Qingqian all the way, and naturally he would not leave her at this time, not to mention that this astrolabe was very important to Xiao Qingqian, and it was very important for everyone to leave, so he couldn't let the Evil Eater take the astrolabe.
"Wait until she's awake." The blind man spoke very strongly.
"Wait for her to wake up? She was trapped in a maze, and she could never wake up without getting out of the obstacle. The Evil Eater protested.
"Then we have to wait." The blind man insisted.
"Let's calm down and wait and see." General Guo hurriedly stopped them, "This matter is not urgent, this is not a moment, Miss Xiao has slept for a day or two before, maybe she will wake up after a while." ”
However, it was the sound of their quarrel that led Xiao Qingqian's thoughts to the astrolabe, she still can't think about why the extradited person will be herself, she is so ordinary, ordinary, and her power is so small, she never thought that she could change anything about others, but after coming to the other world of the astrolabe, she appreciated the vast desert here, the boundless sand and stones, the silence and desolation, as if walking through the flow of time, experiencing the tranquility that is not found in the city, and seeing some unknown stories, And the people who traveled with her, as an extradition she swore to take them out and leave this astrolabe otherworld.
Yes, the people who traveled with her, she immediately thought of the blind man, thought of him suddenly having a headache and fell to the ground, thinking of General Guo and the Evil Devouring Monarch following the Star Soul General and not looking back, she and the blind man were still waiting in the dark night, at this moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, the sky was already white, bright, the surrounding silence, she was lying on the ground, the moment she came back to her senses and rolled her eyes, she saw that the blind man was next to her, and the Evil Devouring King and General Guo were also beside her, as if nothing had happened, as if she had slept and had a dream.
Xiao Qing moved lightly, sat up with his hands on the ground, and General Guo and the Evil Devouring Monarch immediately surrounded him, "Hehe, when you wake up, I'll just say, you're just sleepy and sleepy." ”
Seeing that they cared so much about themselves, and that eager eyes, Xiao Qingqian was still blindsided, only feeling that he had just fallen asleep, "General Guo, what are you doing here?" ”
"I'm afraid you won't wake up for a long time."
"Phew! I've got to get out alive. Saying that, Xiao Qingqian stood up and threw herself into the dust behind her, but found that the corners of her eyes were wet, probably because she dreamed of crying in the past, the most important thing in front of her, she wiped it indifferently, changed the topic and asked, "So the Star Soul General brought us here?" Where is he? ”
"He's long gone."
"Forget it, there's nothing to say goodbye to anyway." Xiao Qingqian had to start to face the reality in front of him again, no matter what he dreamed of in his dreams, it was the right thing to do his best to leave here at this moment. I saw that the fog in front of me was quite heavy, but looking at them as if they were ready to go, there was nothing to say, just keep going.
"Let's go, I can't wait to see the outside world." After that dream, the Evil Devourer was already more eager to get out than before, and his desire was already high.
Before walking, Xiao Qingqian inevitably had to take care of the blind man, help him up and take him away, "Does your head still hurt?" ”
"It's all right."
"Well, that's good."
When they climbed the main peak and looked ahead, the place as far as their eyes could see was the end, as if they had seen the exit of the end, and their hearts were instantly joyful and excited.
"Uh......h Yes! Hahahaha......" General Guo shouted excitedly into the distance.
Everything seemed to be going in a good direction, and soon they would see the light of day again, which was really great, and after a while, they turned to the descent, but the problem came, the upper side of the mountain was a gentle slope, and the lower side was a steep side, so steep that they didn't even know how to climb it, and they couldn't go down at all.
"I can't go down!" Xiao Qingqian complained bitterly, refusing to climb down, below is an invisible abyss, falling down must not be broken, she chose the same way to return, anyway, the blind man is still on the top.
General Guo and the Evil Devouring Monarch were in a hurry, "Miss Xiao, why did you climb back?" General Guo shouted from below.
"It's too steep there! I can't climb, I'll take a detour with the blind man. ”
"Okay, see you at the bottom of the mountain, don't make us wait too long."
"Okay, be careful."
General Guo and the Evil Devouring Monarch did not plan to return, they carefully decided to go down the cliff, Xiao Qingqian chose another way, she and the blind man chose to go down in a place with a slower slope, of course, they also encountered a steep place halfway, and also encountered a situation where they could not go down or up, struggling, tangled, tossing, helpless, it was not so easy to conquer a high mountain with bare hands.
Fortunately, the blind man is strong enough, otherwise ordinary people with a blind man may go crazy, Xiao Qingqian didn't expect this road to be so difficult, so she could only grit her teeth and persevere, after all, compromise and submission are not her style.
"Blind man, slow down, I'll go down to a calmer place over here and you can come down again." Xiao Qingqian reminded below, there were several times when Xiao Qingqian just went down a little bit and the blind man followed, of course, the result was a collision, and once they climbed down together, the stones below were unstable and both fell.
This time, after Xiao Qingqian stood firm and made sure that it was safe, the blind man used his light skills to fly down, although it was a little troublesome, it was a good way, if the blind man moved down a little bit like Xiao Qingqian, it was really troublesome. It's easy to go up the mountain and it's hard to say that this is the truth, after several tosses before going down to the bottom of the mountain, it really wants to die, if it is out of the astrolabe, Xiao Qingqian probably doesn't want to climb the mountain in this life.
When they reached the bottom of the mountain and were about to walk in the direction where General Guo had come down, they found that they had also made a detour to this side, and had also walked behind them.
Xiao Qingqian and the blind man stopped and waited for them, "Why did you still walk behind us?" ”
"There's no road anywhere, but you can walk behind you, and you're fast enough."
"It's alright."
Then they walked along the valley at the bottom of the mountain, which was all unfooted, and everywhere seemed desolate and lonely, and even the stones on the ground were sharp, but fortunately there were people who were not alone. There are mountains on both sides of the valley, and Xiao Qingqian estimates that he may have to climb the mountain later, but everyone also wants to continue to walk and see if they can find a way to avoid climbing the mountain.
But the more you go into the valley, the cold, the cold in the heart gradually hit head-on, unconsciously everyone quickened their pace, if the night fell and did not find a way out, if you don't want to be frozen to death in the valley, you still have to climb the mountain in the end. Just as they were speeding up their pace, Xiao Qingqian found that there were shiny things in some rock walls, which reflected dazzling light through the shade, and some of them even fell to the ground.
Xiao Qingqian picked up one or two pieces curiously and looked at them carefully, and a flash flashed in his mind: Could this be a diamond? Looking at the glimmer of light in the valley, the crystal clear is very beautiful, doesn't it mean that the hardness of diamonds is very high, Xiao Qingqian turned his head and handed a piece to General Guo, and said, "Can you smash this open." ”
"This is a diamond, the thief is hard, it is difficult to smash open, what are you going to do here?" General Guo was puzzled.
Wait, isn't another name for diamond diamond, Xiao Qingqian secretly confirmed again: "Are you sure this is really diamond?" ”
"That's it." General Guo replied without question.
"Then we'll have to pick up a few pieces and go back!" Xiao Qingqian still couldn't believe it, there were diamonds all over the ground to pick up casually, "You guys also pick up some." ”
"Miss Xiao, why are you picking up this broken stone, it's useless!"
"It's not a broken stone, it's a gemstone, diamonds are also called diamonds in my world, anyway, they're very valuable, and I won't have to worry about running out of money to spend in the second half of my life."
"What's so rare about this, the cliff I walked down with the devouring evil just now is full of gold, these are things outside the body, not worth mentioning."
"Gold?! Which is more valuable, gold or diamonds? Xiao Qingqian quickly thought about this question, she had not had an in-depth understanding of the market value of these precious metals before, since she had the opportunity to make a lot of money at this moment, she had to hurry up and seize this way to make a fortune.
In addition to stealing joy, Xiao Qingqian quickly picked up a few more diamonds that looked particularly beautiful, put them in the hands of General Guo, the Evil Devouring Monarch and the blind man one by one, and instructed: "You must take these stones out, money in the outside world is very important, although it is not omnipotent, but no money is absolutely impossible." ”
General Guo still didn't understand the value of the diamond, "Then it's better to go back and pick up the gold." ”
"Go back, then you don't have to, it's enough to pick up these diamonds." Xiao Qingqian said and picked up two more good-looking ones.
