Chapter 63: Hongquangou (4)
Du Zhengyi raised his hand and slowly approached the dirty door panel, and the static electricity generated by the magic particles fell on his palm like an even wind.
The old woman downstairs shouted to him, "Du Zhengyi, what did you find?" ”
Du Zhengyi turned a deaf ear, he stood quietly until dozens of seconds later, he suddenly raised his head and kicked the door open.
The smell of rancid blood in the room suddenly hit the nostrils, as if a box of canned herring had been suddenly pried open, and the stench suddenly exploded. Du Zheng looked at this room that was also full of spells with an expressionless expression, blood and human tissue splattered everywhere, as if someone had exploded here.
Of course, someone did get their chests blown out here.
The concentration of the flavor spread a little, and Du Zhengyi immediately walked in, walking straight through two-thirds of the room, and suddenly stopped on his toes. He moved his foot, and there was a thick gap in the middle of the rough wooden floor, and a little light was embedded in the gap. He stretched out his left hand, as if with a little force, and a tiny crystal flew out of the crack in the floor and landed in his hand.
The limited power of magic sensed his summoning in the crystals, which was only enough to create a barrier that temporarily obscured a crime scene.
Bring sand to the beach...... Or was it a rush?
Du Zhengyi impatiently canceled out the magic in the crystal and threw the crystal out casually. Which pervert does this kind of thing, not very powerful, but chic, simulating like a living person casting a spell.
"Du Zhengyi!" Xiang Qian shouted his name downstairs like a soul.
He was speechless, and turned his head to stare at the tightly closed window, which was nailed open, and the cold wind from the distant mountains blew in, blowing away the turbid smell of decay in the house. He unconsciously looked out the window, and the mountains covered with glaciers in the distance shone in ice blue in the daylight, but the nearby mountains were as red as flames.
He should have gone downstairs immediately, there was nothing of value here, and the sealing magic of this masking effect was meaningless. He was very annoyed by such a place.
But when he looked out the window, he was suddenly captured for a moment. He stood stunned for a moment, remembering that a long time ago, he had stood here, or had glanced at the huge glacier from this direction. The blue peaks that are also connected to the sky are also held up by the red mountains, as if ice and fire are blending.
He was sure that he had never been to Kongsang Mountain.
But that distant familiarity is engraved in the depths of his soul, as if he once trekked through the blazing vast sea of sand, or swam through the dark endless sea in one breath, and arrived here, letting the first breath of hometown air pass through his heart, sweet and cool.
Hometown? Du Zheng was stunned, this was by no means his hometown. The mage's lungs, like those of humans, are more adapted to the elevation of the plains, and no one wants to live in such a place except for the dervishes.
But one more look at the glacier-covered mountain made me feel a strange soothing feeling in my heart once again. A strange thought came to him - he knew that he was going to go there.
He was taken aback, as if pricked by the thought.
Why did he go there? He didn't remember, the only thing he could guess was that someone had planted the thought in his heart. When was it implanted? It must have been a long time ago, long ago, when he was powerless to resist. But why? What are you going to do?
The thought wasn't strong, and he could just walk away. If he had been idle and unobtrusive, he might have gone to see it now, or maybe someday in a hundred years. He thought about it for a while, and the thought of having to go back to Qionglin in four hours was more urgent than this, and it seemed that he was not bothered too much. But since he still had a little more than four hours, and the clue was already broken, if he didn't go over and take a look, there was nothing to do now.
Xiang Qian couldn't wait any longer, and just as she was about to go upstairs to take a look, Du Zhengyi strode down the stairs. As soon as she was about to inquire about the situation, Du Zhengyi gave an irritable order, "Everyone follow me, I'll drive the first car, and the others will follow me." There are only four hours to move at the door, and everyone should not delay me. ”
The battle mages at the door scattered in an instant, most of them teleported away, although no one had the ability to teleport as long distances as Du Zhengyi, but teleporting to the outside of the village to grab a few cars behind them, this distance can still be done. The only ones left who did not disappear were Xiang Qian in the courtyard and Yan Hao who didn't keep up, Du Zheng glanced at Yan Hao, and always felt that he was a little not very smart.
Yan Hao was glared at by him, and quickly turned around and ran out consciously. As a result, he, Xiang Qian and the mahjong doctor, got into an off-road vehicle with Du Zhengyi.
Xiang Qian sat in the back seat of the car, stretched his legs and feet, and finally couldn't help but say to Du Zhengyi, "You have been rushing for time." ”
Du Zhengyi didn't speak with a cold face, reversed, turned, and set off.
"It seems that Qionglin's side is not very stable, right?" Xiang Qian said worriedly.
Mahjong sat in the passenger seat and suddenly knocked the back of the seat with the back of his head.
Yan Hao couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, what's wrong with you?" ”
No one answered him, Mahjong and Du Zheng glanced at each other, their eyes were unfathomable, and Mahjong then buckled his hat and prepared to sleep. The pressure in the car was inexplicably low, Yan Hao couldn't withstand such a heavy atmosphere, and retracted into his seat uneasily. He had heard of many crises that Du Zhengyi had experienced, each of which was a danger he had never encountered, and thinking that he might face such a fear in four hours, his palms were once again covered with sweat, and he couldn't help but keep pinching his two hands back and forth.
Du Zhengyi didn't look at the map, this place is sparsely populated but the brand new road has been repaired, but the road looks like it will go around the mountains, wasting a lot of time. He took a shortcut, found a path that looked like it had been used by engineering vehicles, and drove straight into a red valley. This stretch of valley is extremely wide, with high red cliffs on either side, but the width of the valley is enough to swallow a large river. If Roach had been here, he would have told him that it was a river valley fed by glacial meltwater, and that the thin spring in the middle of the valley sometimes swelled into a raging river. The name of the so-called Hongquangou is really stingy.
They had spent an hour driving, but the valley still hadn't come to an end, and they hadn't seen anyone, and the water in the valley had gradually widened a little. Du Zhengyi encountered several herds of antelopes on the road, and they were not very afraid of people.
Xiang Qian was very patient with the long wait during the mission, and since she didn't need to do anything, and the environment had been comfortable and calm, she soon fell asleep.
Mahjong woke up after a sleep, wrapped himself in a jacket, and looked listlessly at the animals passing by for a while. On one side, the slopes of the mountain have become more relaxed, and there are many more animals on the slopes of the mountainside. "Du Zhengyi, I seem to have seen a bear. It seems to be still a family, one big one leads a few small ones, and one small one is a bit like Roach...... Now it's back. Tsk, all bear children in the world are the same. ”
Du Zhengyi ignored him, he yawned boredly, and continued to broadcast alone, "It's strange that there are no humans in this place." Humans should be everywhere. Hey, let me tell you, last year I went to play in the savannah of Tanzania. I was enjoying the silence of the wilderness, listening to the call of the wilderness. No people, no machines, no noise, only the harmony and tranquility of nature. I was so moved that I was about to cry, I thought that when the world of eternal desolation first opened, when human beings were not born, this world must be like this. At this moment, a voice floated from the dense grass a few meters behind me:, there's no lion to look at, let's go and change places. - Damn, can you believe it? It's still Chinese, it's not the natives who are talking! There is no mood at all. ”
Yan Hao couldn't hold back a laugh in the back seat, and Mahjong immediately turned around and gave him a comrade-like look, finally the battle mage can have a little sense of humor. "Do buddies eat cookies? It's so boring to ride in the car. Here you go. The new flavor of Oreo is quite special. ”
Yan Hao hurriedly took it, "Thank you." ”
Mahjong kept looking back at him, and he had to quickly stuff a piece into his mouth, frowning, "Uh...... Star anise? ”
Mahjong couldn't help but smile, "Special, right?" ”
Yan Hao couldn't help but vomit, swallowed, and nodded indescribably. "Highly concentrated star anise."
Mahjong turned his head with a smile and suddenly shouted, "Du Zhengyi, is the Toyota in front of you stuck in the car?" It must be human driving. Stuck in the mud by the river, this place is like a plateau swamp, human beings only have one car to travel alone, this must not be able to get out, can we help? ”
It should be that Mahjong is never wrong about these nonsense things about human beings, he is a human doctor, which is equivalent to walking through the cross-section of human life. But this is really an unfortunate thing, helping humans tow the cart out, it only takes a few minutes with magic, and with human methods...... Thirty minutes, right?
"Do me a favor." Mahjong interceded, "If he gets stuck here, maybe he will be eaten by a bear in the middle of the night." ”
Du Zhengyi frowned and shook his head, but still picked a dry road surface and parked the car not far behind the trapped Toyota. He pushed the door open and walked down, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and slowly walked towards the Toyota.
The Toyota car in front also opened the door, and a tall man stepped down, wearing a white Colombian jacket on the top, light gray almost white outdoor pants on the bottom, and gray-white snow boots. This body didn't match his appearance, he had big bags under his eyes, and his body was large and clumsy, looking like a middle-aged man doing rough work. At this age, men rarely like to wear white, except for doctors with some occupational diseases. But he's certainly not a doctor.
Du Zhengyi took a puff of his cigarette, and for a moment he almost thought that this person was a mage. But then the middle-aged man who was doing rough work smiled at him stiffly, and spoke in a low, elegant and polite voice, "The mountain here is so beautiful, but the road is not good." ”
Unlike a mage, he doesn't feel any magic left.
Du Zheng nodded, the car was empty, "Driving alone?" ”
The man in white smiled embarrassedly, "Maybe it's a midlife crisis." ”
Du Zheng thought for a while, "Came to a trip that just said go?" ”
The man in white nodded shyly.
Du Zheng handed him a cigarette case, "Get one?" ”
The man thanked him again and again, took out a cigarette case from Du Zheng's hand, and looked at the car behind Du Zheng, looking at the entire convoy one by one. Du Zhengyi took out a lighter to help him light it, he retracted his gaze, and said in a shy whisper, "G55 is not suitable for this deserted self-driving route, it is too valuable, if the parts are broken, it is difficult to distribute goods in this place." However, the business car in the back is also yours? It was the first time I met someone driving a business car in this kind of place. ”
Du Zheng glanced back, I don't know which fool bought this water Mercedes-Benz, some mages are this kind of lack of virtue. "Heh, picked it up on the road, a group of rich second generations."
The man nodded, and said carefully, "There will be a road through this mountain, so you should take the road later." ”
Du Zheng glanced at him and nodded, "Help you pull the car out first." ”
