Chapter 240: Before the Fog, After the Fog

Xu Yuanxin didn't refuse, rubbed his cheek on the young man's shoulder, and chose a more comfortable position to lean on.

The movement was very slow, and the long hair scattered on his shoulders moved with him, and the cold and soft touch rubbed against Ning Shu's ears, like an extremely precious cat's tail.

The girl's eyes were closed, as if she were asleep, and the sound of shallow breathing sounded as if she were not there.

Ning Shu, who was very gentlemanly a moment ago, felt the girl's exhalation like an orchid at this moment, and her cheeks were slightly hot.

He tried to turn his head away, trying not to make skin-to-skin contact with the girl.

But how could it be that he had spent a lot of effort before, and he couldn't even make a head tilt at the moment, not to mention that in this deserted world, it was a very reassuring thing to have someone to rely on.

The two men leaned on each other and reclined in the boat.

Head to head, shoulder to shoulder.

Ning Shu's head and shoulders are well presented at an angle, forming a small space, which is just right for Xu Yuanxin to rest very comfortably and naturally.

No one spoke, because they had no strength, or were unwilling to break this rare ease of leisure.

Both knew that the moment the ship docked, they would face something that was unknown, but terrifying.

People are usually very nervous when they know that they are going to face something, which is the normal state of people, but often in the time before the event, they will be extraordinarily relaxed.

Just like when the old man is dying before he dies, he often presents a state of extraordinary sobriety, which is called a return to the light, because he already knows his end at that time, but he will not be so afraid.

In the same way, there are also those prisoners who are about to set foot on the execution ground, except for a few who have to say a few bold words, most of them are also extraordinarily quiet, waiting for the fall of the sword and axe.

And what Ning Shu and Xu Yuanxin will face in the near future may be more terrible than death.

He already had the experience of the old river god, and he could imagine how dangerous the temple on the other side of the river was, although Ning Shu had walked through many life and death margins, he would not be so stupid as to feel that he was going to be more powerful than the river god who had enjoyed the world for three hundred years.

Even if it's luck, it's on the basis of strength.

......

......

One boat, two people.

Three sticks of fragrance, two people.

Thousands of weak water, two people.

Whatever it may be, there are only two people in this illusory world.

And two people can usually do a lot of things together, such as playing chess, drinking, admiring the moon together, or talking to each other.

But there were no chessboards and chess pieces, no wine glasses and flasks, no moon hanging in the sky, only endless rain and rivers, and white mist.

It is also a fantasy, Ning Shu once saw a wasteland, there are constantly changing clouds in the sky, he has also experienced countless fallen leaves, lonely and with killing intent, he has also seen a miserable yellow river and a lonely city, and he has been to the state of mind of natural disasters and man-made disasters in his childhood.

But at that time, he was alone, so he could let go and do a lot of things.

But now it's different, because there's a young girl by his side.

Although the girl's cultivation is high, she is still not deeply involved in the world, not to mention that she has suffered a lot of injuries.

I don't know how many years this illusory world existed before the flood, and the weak water of the Tianhe River was even more boundless, and I didn't see any trace of the riverbank after drifting for a long time.

Such a process is too painful, lonely and powerless.

The only thing that can guarantee the survival of the two of them is the flat boat under them.

The weak water around seems to be calm, but if you accidentally fall into it, you are afraid that it will turn into a series of bubbles, even if Ning Shu's body has the help of runes, she does not dare to risk herself.

There is no scenery for the two to enjoy, so naturally there is no new topic.

Ning Shu decided to break the silence and not let this despair spread.

"These power of faith and river mystic methods, I plan to find a time to seal them in the river temple in Nanlian Village after I go back. ”

He thought for a moment and said, this was the only thought he had after being taught the secret method by the old river god, because he couldn't stay in Nanlian Village forever, just like the old river god said, he was not a person who could shelter others.

As for the position of the river god, Ning Shu already had a plan in his heart, if he could go back, he would try it according to his own ideas.

Xu Yuanxin did not respond.

Ning Shu thought for a while and then asked, "How is the scenery on Kunlun Mountain?"

Xu Yuanxin still didn't answer.

Ning Shu was a little embarrassed, thinking to herself that there was something wrong with the way she spoke, so the girl was too lazy to take care of herself?

Is it difficult to ask her what she ate at noon?

But this boat has been floating for an unknown amount of time, and if you talk about what you eat at noon, it may go back many days ago, and the girl is naturally beautiful, so she must not have applied any powder.

If Jin Weiqi knew what Ning Shu was doing at the moment, he would definitely sigh, and then reprimand the young man for his incomprehensible feelings.

At such a time, of course, you should quietly enjoy the environment where you are alone, and any attempt to relieve the embarrassment is foolish.

It's like when the moon is romantic before the flower, the man suddenly says that he still has official documents to deal with. When the clouds and rain were overturned, and the clothes were half-dissolved, the man suddenly talked about his mess of playing with mud. The conversation was very pleasant, and when the woman's hint was obvious enough, the man suddenly said that he wanted to eat roast lamb kidney......

It's so scenic, there's no romantic mind.

That's what most women think.

Can...... Xu Yuanxin is not an ordinary woman, she doesn't know anything about such things.

The reason why she didn't respond was because she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Ning Shu was silent for a long time and then asked, "Do you like ......?"

"Do you regret it?" Before Ning Shu finished speaking, Xu Yuanxin suddenly asked softly.

This kind of dialogue is really interesting, if you put aside all the factors, just take out these two sentences, it looks like the mutual affection between young boys and girls, but neither of them is an ordinary person, so the meaning is not that meaning.

"Regret what?"

"Like what?"

They both asked at the same time.

Xu Yuanxin craned his neck to look at Ning Shu and said, "I mean...... Do you regret agreeing to let me come here?"

Ning Shu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly felt that he was extremely puzzled by the question, and then shook his head and said, "It should be...... Don't regret it. ”

"To be honest, I don't know, but I always feel that since I promised someone, I don't regret this option, and although I still have a lot of things to do, this is not a reason for me to break the contract. ”

Xu Yuanxin nodded his head, continued to lean on Ning Shu's shoulder, and slowly closed his eyes, not knowing whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with this answer.

There are few words, more time is quiet waiting.

No one knows when the boat will dock, so take advantage of this time to regain mana.

Xu Yuanxin's delicate face was like carved out of jade, and there was no lip grease on her lips, but there was just the right amount of red, and she sipped lightly at the moment, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "Have you ever imagined yourself becoming a puppet-like existence like an old river god?"

"I'm not going to be like that. Ning Shu shook his head firmly and replied.

"Huh?" Xu Yuanxin was puzzled by the affirmation in the young man's tone.

"If this happens to me when I go ashore, I will kill myself. ”

Xu Yuanxin felt an unyielding sharpness in this sentence, and then asked softly, "What about me?"

"I'll do my best to get you out first. ”

This sentence has no confidence, and even Ning Shu himself is not sure that he will be able to turn this sentence into reality.

But after all, there was a promise, so the corners of Xu Yuanxin's mouth were still upturned, and there was a smile in his eyes.

"If I don't, I'll kill myself. ”

Two people who are not very old, or even children, are discussing suicide, no matter how ridiculous it sounds, but the fact is that it can make a god who enjoys a hundred years of incense fall without even seeing his real body, how terrible should that thing in the temple be?

Return to the Void?

This is the lowest judgment that Ning Shu can make, as for the higher realm, he simply does not have the strength to speculate.

"If you can go out this time, what are your plans next?" Xu Yuanxin looked at the smoke in front of him and said, "I mean if." ”

Ning Shu took a deep breath and replied, "Find a way to hand over the power of faith and the position of the river god, and then go south." ”

Xu Yuanxin didn't ask Ning Shu why she wanted to go south, she blinked her eyes and said affirmatively: "Then I'll go too." ”

Chatting sentence by sentence, the boat did not know how far it had traveled, but it could be judged by the drift of smoke and the waves of the river beside the boat that the boat was indeed moving.

After a long time, Ning Shu and Xu Yuanxin got up at the same time and looked in the direction in front of them.

The three incense sticks in the ship were close to burning, only a little knuckle-sized was left, and a heavy momentum came to the face, although I still couldn't see the scene on the other side, but I could feel that the ship was about to reach the other side.

The breath of a long absence.

Just like the momentum in the whirlpool after the opening of the holy lake, the difference is that there is also some divinity in it.

"Ka"

After a soft sound, the boat slowly stopped as if it had touched something, and just as the fragrance in the boat burned out, the power of faith that protected the boat suddenly dissipated.

The ship stopped, the incense ran out, and the fog dispersed.

It's all happening at the same time.

Everything behind the fog is clearly visible.

It was completely different from what Ning Shu saw on the other side, he was looking at the other side of the weak water on the shore at that time, and the layout was about the same as the structure of Nanlian Village, even if the temple had changed a lot, but not to a particularly large extent, but when he came to the shore and looked again, he only found that he was under this temple, as small as an ant.

Magnificent, magnificent, magnificent.

It's not like a temple...... It's like a palace.
