Chapter 8: A Long Conversation in the Middle of the Night
There was such a record in ancient legends: "In the great wilderness, there is a mountain called the Arctic Heavenly Cabinet, and the sea water is injected into the north." ”
According to archaeologists speculate that in ancient times, at the beginning of Hongmeng, the Asian continent and the American continent were connected in the far north, tens of thousands of years ago, for unknown reasons, perhaps war, maybe cold and hunger, countless Asian ancestors left their homeland to lead their tribes, and walked across the natural bridge to the Americas, exploring the unknown, and settling down. But thousands of years later, the Bering Strait is now known as the Bering Strait, when the sea and geological changes and the turbulent waters overflow the bridge, blocking the way to the Americas.
Wei Qing and their trip was where they went.
When Wei Qing heard the scorpion mention that they should not be far from the Arctic Heavenly Cabinet, the curiosity in her heart finally overcame reason, and she pestered Feng Xiao to reveal some things about the Arctic Heavenly Cabinet to her, so Feng Xiao directly threw her a piece of information, of course, this was also with Long Zheng's acquiescence.
Wei Qing closed the information given by Feng Xiao, and her heart was messy. When she first heard the name of this place, she simply thought that it was a glacier and snow mountain, of course it was a mountain, but it was tens of thousands of years ago, and now this mountain is buried deep in the seabed, and the sea will bury all the historical past in ancient times, so that the stories that have happened in this land have become a swan song for the ages.
However, if we don't explore whether the ancestors of the ancient period were popular for burial and thick burial, will there really be a tomb in that kind of place? Long Zheng and the others are willing to go there at all kinds of dangers, really just for the purpose of robbing tombs? This time, are they just looking for something left over from ancient times like last time? Wei Qing thought about it, and finally could only conclude that tattoos are not just a tomb robbery organization.
Wei Qing looked up and found that the scorpion lying on the bed had fallen asleep for some time, while Feng Xiao, who was sitting beside her, was looking at the scorpion firmly and gently, not knowing what to think. The room was very quiet, only the even breathing of the scorpions could be heard. Well, something doesn't seem right with this atmosphere. Wei Qing stood up quietly and left the room gently, trying not to make any noise that would disturb them.
It wasn't until he stepped out of the cabin and onto the deck that Wei Qing exhaled deeply. Why did she just have the illusion of being a light bulb? The cool sea breeze blew past her ears with a salty smell and ruffled her hair. The sea at night looked pitch black, looking like an empty space, a terrible black hole, while the stars shining in the sky were as bright as diamonds. If it weren't for the sea breeze blowing and the constant sound of the waves coming to your ears, you would have the illusion of sailing in the sky.
Through the faint light in the cabin, Wei Qing saw a figure at the edge of the deck leaning against the fence and playing with the objects in his hands. Isn't that Long Zheng? Wei Qing was just about to turn around and return to her own room in the cabin, but she turned her head sharply and looked carefully at the object in Long Zheng's hand, how could that thing look a little familiar? She raised her hand and touched her collarbone, which was empty.
Wei Qing approached him quietly, only to see that he was wearing a black tights, his tall inverted triangle figure was fully displayed, his face was cold, his temples were like knives, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and the dim light fell on his side face to be more angular. Wei Qing looked at him quietly, remembering that a few months ago in the ancient tomb of Shennongjia, he took meticulous care and gentleness for her, and even saved her life in danger several times, if she was not a zongzi, she was a normal person, how good it would be.
Xu is Wei Qing's gaze was too obvious, Long Zheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Wei Qing with a burning gaze: "It's so late, I thought you had already slept." ”
"I was about to go back to the room, but, the ...... in your hand" Wei Qing walked up to him, leaning back against the fence next to the boat like him, and glanced at the pendant.
"Fu Xi saw that the phoenix was gathered in the tong, and it was like its shape and cut the tong system to make it a piano. Long Zheng rubbed the guqin pendant in his hand, and his voice was soft: "This piano is not something you can control." It can both save you and hurt you. Just like today, it is precisely because of this harp that the demagogic power of the dead souls will bounce back, and instead expose you to those dead souls. ”
Wei Qing blinked, could she say that she didn't understand the first half of the sentence? Fu Xi used the plane tree to make the piano, could it be that this pendant was also an ancient thing? Wei Qing quickly denied her guess, if anything that came along with a dead person was an ancient relic, then wouldn't this thing from the ancient times be rotten on the street?
"Someone once persuaded me to give this thing to you, but things happened one after another, and I forgot about it, today is just right, you just put it away. Wei Qing was a little ashamed, she had forgotten such an important matter, fortunately Long Zheng was by her side at the time, otherwise I am afraid that she would have turned into a dead soul on the ghost ship by now.
Long Zheng paused, frowned and asked, "Who said that?"
"It's a guy named Liche. Wei Qing replied truthfully. Although Li Che was not in the same group as them, it was very likely that he knew Long Zheng, and at that time, Li Che had promised her that he would find an opportunity to set her free. This can show that Li Che himself doesn't really want to hurt her.
Long Zheng was silent for a moment, not knowing what he thought, he raised his hand to cover the back of Wei Qing's cold hand, his voice was mixed with a little panic, and said tentatively: "If, I mean if, one day your closest and most trusted person left you when you needed him, and you paid a huge sacrifice for him, even your life. He didn't protect you well by your side. Will you forgive him?"
Wei Qing was stunned: "I, I don't know." I haven't experienced it, so naturally I won't have a deep feeling. "Didn't you just talk about the guqin pendant? Why did the topic suddenly jump so far, and besides, what does this mean, explain it clearly?
Long Zheng's expression gradually dimmed, but after a moment, he clenched Wei Qing's hand again, looked directly into her eyes, and said softly: "Wei Qing, I beg you not to get close to him, okay?"
The voice was so soft, so light that it was like muttering to himself, and at this time, Wei Qing was so close to him that he could faintly smell the faint scent of cedar on his body. She didn't quite understand who the "he" he was talking about, and only vaguely guessed that it might be Liche. Wei Qing couldn't think at this time, the warmth on the back of her hand like a winter charcoal fire seemed to melt her whole being, and she looked into his deep eyes, as if that was where she would end up in this life.
Quietly, instinctively, she replied, "Yes." ”
