On the deserted gravel road, a carriage moved forward slowly.
In the dim carriage, Jialan leaned on Lin Qiye's shoulder, looking through the curtains fluttering in the breeze at the vast and bright starry sky, lost in thought.
"Seven nights."
"Um?"
"How long has it been since we started traveling?"
"Probably, a year."
"One year...why does it feel like half a lifetime has passed?" Jia Lan's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, "I have seen more scenery in this year than I have in all the time in the past...and more than I have.
All past experiences have been wonderful.”
Jia Lan raised his head, and in the dimness, those beautiful eyes blinked at Lin Qiye,
"Thank you for taking me out."
"Since I want to thank you, can I not give out the money today?"
"no!"
Jia Lan glared at him angrily, stretched out his hand and squeezed Lin Qiye's arm. The latter grinned in response and laughed.
Jialan snorted and leaned her head on his shoulder again.
The carriage fell into silence.
"Qiye, I want to go back."
After a long time, Jialan's soft voice sounded again.
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly, "Why?"
"We have been traveling outside for a year. Although we have seen a lot of scenery, I am already a little tired... I want to go back to Chang'an and have a good rest, and... I want to eat Chang'an's bean buns."
Lin Qiye's figure swayed slightly with the bumps of the carriage. He did not answer. He looked through the curtain swaying in the wind and said after a moment:
"Look, there is a beautiful lake in front of you."
Jia Lan was stunned, opened the curtain, took a look outside, and said in surprise:
"It's really a big lake..."
"Stop and take a look?"
"OK."
The carriage stopped slowly by the lake. Lin Qiye helped Jia Lan get out of the carriage. An endless lake lay quietly on the earth like a mirror. The stars in the sky reflected on the lake, and the ripples were stirred by the breeze.
, surging like broken silver.
Lin Qiye stopped to admire it for a moment and picked up a pile of firewood nearby, while Jia Lan took out a tea set from the carriage. The two of them cooperated with each other and started making tea leisurely in the evening breeze.
As the scalding hot water washed the tea leaves, a fragrance spread by the lake. The two of them leaned against the outer wall of the carriage and looked at the starry sky, feeling relaxed.
"If you feel too tired on the road, we can find a place to stay for a few more days." After a moment, Lin Qiye said seriously, "There are still many places we haven't gone to, Badong, Changsha, Guiyang..."
"We can go to these places later." Jia Lan said matter-of-factly, "What, after going back this time, won't you take me out?"
Lin Qiye's body trembled slightly. He looked at the cup in his hand silently and said nothing.
"Besides, there are some things that I need to go back and think about by myself..."
"whats the matter?"
Jialan glanced at Lin Qiye, a blush appeared on her cheeks in the darkness, and she glanced away: "I won't tell you!"
The blush in the dark could not be hidden from Lin Qiye's eyes. He raised his brows and faintly smiled at the corner of his mouth...
At this moment, a low roar slowly came from above the clouds.
The expressions of Jia Lan and Lin Qiye changed at the same time, and they looked up at the sky.
"Here we go again..." Jialan's lips pursed.
"It's really haunting!"
A sharp look appeared in Lin Qiye's eyes. He held the Tiancongyun Sword that slipped out of his sleeve with his backhand, and a murderous intent swept out!
For more than a year, the arrival of Migo has always been very regular. No matter where the two of them travel, they always have to find a wilderness in a hurry to deal with these annoying Migo. All the happiness and leisure can only come to an abrupt end.
"It seems different this time?" Jialan stared at the surging clouds and asked doubtfully, "Those clouds... look like an eye?"
These words passed through Lin Qiye's mind like lightning. He raised his head suddenly and saw a space-time vortex slowly flowing in the dark clouds, stirring the surrounding clouds, like a ferocious and terrifying giant eye.
Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly shrank!
Of course he recognized that space-time vortex. When he had just obtained the [Unprovoked Cause] and [Determined Effect] a year ago, the [Key to the Door] used this space-time vortex to take action across the long river of time to kill him.
Earth obliteration...Now, He is actually going to take action again??
How could this happen? Who is His target?
The hairs all over Lin Qiye's body stood up. He stood in front of Jialan, his eyes fixed on the rotating vortex of time and space, and the Tian Cong Yun Sword was tightly held in his hand.
But what was different from last time was that after the space-time vortex appeared, it did not form a thundercloud. Instead, it was like an eye, constantly searching for something on the ground, as if there were some doubts... After a moment, his gaze swept
Passing in the direction of Lin Qiye and the two of them, he passed by Lin Qiye's body and paused for a moment on Jialan's body. Then the terrifying aura gradually dissipated.
The space-time vortex faded little by little, and a group of Migos flew from the clouds. After confirming that the [Key to the Door] had not taken action, Lin Qiye finally relaxed and a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
This time, there were only nine Migos. Compared with the overwhelming battle before, it was just like playing.
Lin Qiye used the Tiancongyun Sword to easily kill these Migos, but his face was still solemn.
"Qiye... what is that thing?" Jialan still hasn't recovered from the terrifying aura in that eye, and his face is a little pale.
"He has already noticed it..." Lin Qiye murmured to himself.
"Perceive what?"
"The cause and effect that I have hidden."
Jialan was also involved in the incident in the ruined temple, so she naturally understood what Lin Qiye meant. She was stunned for a long time and asked tentatively:
"Is it because...me? It's those Migos who have been following me, so He discovered it?"
Lin Qiye slowly closed his eyes and said nothing.
"Then what should we do?" Jialan said anxiously, "Qiye, can you hide me just like you hid them?"
"If I could do it, I would have done it long ago." Lin Qiye sighed, "But the cause and effect between the [Immortal Pill] and the restraint system is extremely difficult to hide, at least I can't do it now."
Jialan's face was extremely ugly. She frowned and thought for a while, then pulled out a short knife from her waist, transferred the [Immortal] to it, and stabbed herself in the abdomen!
Lin Qiye held her wrist like lightning, frowned and said:
"What are you doing?"
"You can't ruin your arrangement because of me." Jialan said resolutely, "Since you can't hide it, just destroy it!"
"Are you going to refine yourself back into the elixir?!" Lin Qiye snatched the short knife from Jia Lan's hand and said angrily.
Jia Lan pursed her lips and looked at Lin Qiye with eyes full of stubbornness.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath and calmed down, "Actually, there may be another way..."
