A simple and unpretentious bullock cart slowly stopped, and an elegant figure in white stepped out. At this moment, he was walking on the vast Gobi desert, looking at the desert and the endless darkness at the end of the Gobi, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Sir, it's still daytime, why is it night at the end?"
Jiuge asked with surprise on his face.
At the end of the desert and Gobi, there is a rough black line, which looks a bit strange.
"This is the night at the end of the desert and Gobi. It is said that the night at the end of the desert and Gobi will never change. There is never daylight. It is also called eternal night..."
Feng Qingyan pondered for a while and said.
After a while.
Instead, he turned around and looked back.
At this moment, being in the vast Gobi desert, Feng Qingyan's mind felt indescribably open and comfortable.
However, walking into the Gobi Desert is like entering a primitive wilderness. Everything you look at is desolate and lifeless. But under the blue sky, the Gobi Desert is gray and black, with different heights and undulations, but the lines look very magnificent, full of the sea.
The charm, the majesty of the mountain...
This made Feng Qingyan sigh.
"Let's go."
Feng Qingyan walked step by step.
Jiuge and Qingmang hurriedly followed, looking around curiously and feeling equally amazed in their hearts.
In the seemingly endless Gobi Desert.
From time to time, you can see rock shale that has gone through ancient times, soaked in the turbulent years of the Gobi, forming winding rocks with a typical desert temperament.
Touching it with your hands, you can feel the warmth and mellowness of the stone, the momentum of the mountain, and the agility of the water.
Fengling Stone is a masterpiece of the strong winds in the Gobi Desert.
This is due to the strength and tenacity of the Gobi wind and the miraculous workmanship of nature.
The wind is invisible, but the material blown out is tangible. Over the years, the gravel in the gravel desert is gradually formed into angular and wind-shaped rocks under the erosion of the sand carried by the wind.
Feng Qingyan stopped to watch from time to time.
My heart is full of sighs.
At the end of the desert and Gobi, even in summer, there is still a bleak and desolate scene. A few sparse and yellow weeds can hardly cover the yellow sand everywhere, and the ruthless Gobi wind savagely attacks the dry and desolate land...
This made him feel like he was back in ancient times.
In a trance.
He seemed to feel a bit of the ancient atmosphere, as if the end of the desert and Gobi was really a mysterious ancient land.
Rumble——
In an instant, the originally blue and clear sky was immediately covered with layers of dark clouds, as if they were about to press down from the sky, making people feel the depressing atmosphere.
"The dark clouds in the desert are very scary, as if they are about to press down."
Jiuge shrank his neck and said.
Qing Mang nodded with great sympathy, but was also shocked by the billowing dark clouds that appeared at this moment.
Crash--
Within a short time, heavy rain began to pour down.
But at this moment, Feng Qingyan was still standing on a winding stone, looking at the desert and the dark night at the end of the Gobi.
That dark night is a mysterious night, a dark night that is unknown to the world.
It is rumored that there is a terrible freezing point in the mysterious dark night, and even the literati at the level of literary figures may not be able to withstand it...
"Hey, it's strange. Since there is such heavy rain at the end of the Gobi Desert, why is it still so desolate, with almost no grass growing?"
In the heavy rain, Qing Mang said with doubts on his face.
But in an instant, it rained so heavily and it didn't stop yet. The amount of rain was quite large.
"This is indeed a bit weird."
Jiuge nodded. He was also in the heavy rain and did not take shelter. He said: "This amount of rain can last for at least three or four months. It only needs to rain three or four times a year. The end of the Gobi should turn into a grassland."
right……"
"Strange."
Qing Mang's face was full of doubts.
But while it was wondering, the downpour suddenly stopped without any warning, causing it to look up at the sky with a confused look on its face.
I saw the dark clouds in the sky disperse immediately.
The scorching sun appears again.
"Well……"
Qing Mang was stunned.
At this moment, even Jiu Ge was a little stunned. Has the day changed too quickly?
However, the desert climate can change greatly in an instant, from sunny weather to sudden wind and sand.
It's hard for anyone to predict.
Especially at the end of the desert and Gobi, things can change at any time.
Sizzling——
It's just a cup of tea.
Qing Mang and Jiuge saw bursts of white mist rising from the Gobi desert beneath their feet.
"This is a bit scary." Qing Mang stared, frightened by the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but said: "Jiu Ge, isn't this evaporation too scary? The water mist actually rises in waves, which is even scarier than boiling water.
…”
It couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Although the scorching sun in the sky is indeed very hot, evaporation should not be so terrifying. It seems that in the blink of an eye, all the rain that just fell has evaporated...
"Is it because the rain evaporates too quickly?"
Jiuge seemed to understand somewhat.
and.
But in the blink of an eye, Jiu Ge's clothes were dry.
Feng Qingyan looked away and said, "Let's go."
"Sir, what were you looking at just now?"
Jiuge asked curiously.
Mr. just looked a little fascinated.
"Look at the eternal night."
Feng Qingyan walked forward step by step, and couldn't help but look at the dark night at the end. This dark night was indeed very mysterious, and seemed to be full of weirdness, which made him unable to understand.
"What did you see, sir?"
Jiuge asked.
"This is not an ordinary dark night. I am afraid that all light cannot light up in the dark night."
Feng Qingyan pondered for a while and said.
"What?"
Jiuge was a little shocked and quickly asked: "What about Wenguang?"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult..."
Feng Qingyan shook his head.
Although he has not yet entered the eternal night, he feels the terror of the eternal night. No wonder Zhou Tianxia and Ku Tuo Tian are not connected to each other.
Logically speaking, there should always be a great sage or great Confucian who can walk through the eternal night...
but.
In more than two thousand years, he has never heard of anyone from Kutuo Heaven coming to Zhou Tianxia. Moreover, there is no news about Kutuo Heaven in the Western Regions...
It seems really isolated.
Even if it's not isolation in an absolute sense, it's almost as close to absolute isolation.
Maybe there is still a way through.
But it may require a lot of luck, even extreme luck.
Feng Qingyan felt that his luck was pretty good.
and.
He feels that the most terrifying thing about eternal night is not the night...
As for what it is.
He still needs to enter the eternal night to know.
as time goes by.
The eternal night at the end of the desert and Gobi is getting closer and closer.
Jiuge and Qingmang are becoming more and more curious and expectant, and they seem to be interested in the eternal night. It's not that they are not afraid of the eternal night, but because they have a husband (Jun Shang), they don't have much fear in their hearts...
They believe that if there is a gentleman (your Majesty), they will be able to walk through the eternal night.
Maybe others can't walk through.
But sir (your Majesty) will definitely be able to pass through.
When the sun is about to set.
They finally reached the end of the desert and Gobi, before the eternal night.
The boundary between the end of the desert and the Gobi and the eternal night is a mysterious scene that they cannot explain clearly.
It's very weird and mysterious, always a bit weird.
Let's put it this way.
Standing at the end of the desert and Gobi, if you take a step forward, you will see a strange night. There is darkness between the sky and the earth, and you can't see your fingers. If you take a step back, you will see the boundless Gobi and the golden sky...
This scene made Qing Mang and Jiu Ge marvel. They couldn't believe it. This was what heaven and earth should be like.
This is really weird and mysterious, and it seems like someone did it on purpose.
"Sir, why is this so weird?"
Jiuge couldn't help but stutter a little.
He originally thought that at the end of the desert and Gobi, it was gradually getting dark, just like gradually entering the night.
But no.
It's a step into the night.
Feng Qingyan squinted his eyes and looked at it, and said: "It's really weird, it's hard to see through..."
"Hey, Your Majesty, there are words on this stone."
Not far away, Qing Mang said in surprise.
Feng Qingyan and Jiuge walked over after hearing the words, and sure enough they saw some words engraved on a stone several feet large...
The handwriting is no longer very clear, but it's still legible.
"In the human king's calendar, one thousand four hundred and fifty-six years? This is almost a thousand."
Jiuge was surprised.
"Chen Jing? This name seems a bit familiar..."
Feng Qingyan thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered who it was, and said with some surprise: "Mr. Chen Jing, he is a great scholar in my Confucianism. I didn't expect that he has walked into the eternal night."
As for why Feng Qingyan knew about Chen Jing nearly a thousand years ago, it was mainly because Chen Jing was quite famous and was an extremely talented sage at the time...
"Jiu Ge, Qing Mang, are you ready?"
After a while, Feng Qingyan asked with a smile.
"It's just dark night, just follow sir closely."
Jiuge smiled.
"Then let's go."
Feng Qingyan smiled.
Although he feels that the eternal night is scary, Feng Qingyan really is not too worried. Although even Wenguang cannot light up in the eternal night, he has the magical power of "seeing the subtle" and can still see through the night...
This is his reliance, his confidence, and his confidence.
"Your Majesty, come and see."
But at this moment, Qing Mang suddenly screamed with a look of shock on his face.
After hearing this, Feng Qingyan and Jiuge hurried away and came to the stone that was more than a foot large that Qing Mang pointed to.
I saw carved on the stone:
"Human King Calendar, Spring of the Year Two Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty One"
"Yanshan"
Very simple, just time and name.
The handwriting is new.
but.
This name shocked Feng Qingyan. Why did Junior Brother Yan come to the eternal night?
And depending on the situation, we have already entered eternal night.
"Mr. Three?" Jiuge was also surprised and said: "No wonder there has been no news about Mr. Three. It turned out that Mr. Three came to the Western Regions and walked into the eternal night..."
"Sir, is this the handwriting of Mr. Third?"
Jiuge asked.
"It is indeed Junior Brother Yan's handwriting."
Feng Qingyan nodded, then frowned, feeling a little worried in his heart. He was not afraid of the eternal night, mainly because he had the magical power of "seeing the subtle"...
But Junior Brother Yan didn’t.
and.
Junior Brother Yan is only in the Wenxiang realm.
Wen Xiangjing ran into the eternal night. Isn't this seeking death?
"Mr. Three entered the eternal night this spring, but I don't know which month it was, January? February? Or March?" Jiu Ge felt a little worried, "It's the end of summer now. I can still catch up with Mr. Three.
?"
"Hard to say."
Feng Qingyan took a deep breath, saying in his heart that it was impossible not to worry, and said: "Jiuge, get in the car, and by the way, bring a rope."
"oh."
Jiuge quickly took out a rope from the scroll.
Feng Qingyan took it and threw one end to Qingmang, saying: "Jiuge, don't leave the car easily. Qingmang, tie the rope and follow me. I will lead the way."
"Sir, what is this?"
Jiu Ge was a little confused, and Qing Mang was even more surprised.
"It's better to be careful." Feng Qingyan said, "The most terrifying thing about the eternal night is not the darkness, but the loss..."
"Lost?"
Jiuge and Qingmang looked at each other.
Feng Qingyan didn't say much, just pulled the rope and stepped into the eternal night.
In his sight, perhaps there was no sight at all. It seemed that the eternal night was more terrifying than the demon night, cutting off all light...
At this moment, Feng Qingyan's body was bursting with Wenguang, but he didn't see any Wenguang at all.
The sky and the earth were pitch black.
"Nine songs."
After walking into the eternal night, Feng Qingyan pondered for a moment and said.
But Jiuge didn't respond.
"Nine songs, Qingmang."
Feng Qingyan said again.
Neither Jiuge nor Qingmang responded, as if they didn't hear anything.
They really didn't hear it.
really--
Feng Qingyan frowned.
The eternal night not only cut off the light, but also cut off the sound. He didn't even hear his own footsteps. But at this moment, he walked back along the rope, but he touched the green grass and the oxcart...
Even if he touched Qing Mang and spoke, Qing Mang still couldn't hear him.
Perhaps Qing Mang and Jiu Ge also talked, but Feng Qingyan didn't hear them either, and the world was dead silent, which seemed extremely terrifying.
There was no light, no sound.
This is the scariest thing.
Feng Qingyan had already prepared, so he didn't feel the terror of eternal night for the time being.
At this moment, he used the magical power of "breaking through the void and seeing the subtle", and finally saw the true face of the eternal night, but he was very surprised...
At his feet.
It doesn't seem to be the Gobi Desert, but dead black soil.
Or dead soil.
This is a bit like the dead soil of Donghai and Yunmengze, but it seems more terrifying than the dead soil of Donghai and Yunmengze...
He knelt down, grabbed a handful and smelled it. He didn't smell the smell of death, which surprised him.
Isn’t it dead soil?
At this moment, he didn't care much and continued walking.
When he took back his magical power of "breaking through the void and seeing the subtle", he could not tell the difference between the north and the south of the world. If he just moved forward based on his feelings, he might not even know where he was going...
It is certain that you will get lost in the end.
Feng Qingyan pulled the rope and used the magical power of "breaking through the void to see the subtle" from time to time, walking step by step into the depths of the eternal night.
But Qing Mang and Jiu Ge were horrified.
They did not expect that the eternal night would be so terrifying, without even a trace of light or sound...
Heaven and earth are dead silent!
Not long after, Feng Qingyan saw a white skeleton that was about to weather on the black soil, and he buried it.
"I don't know how long I've been walking, but I'm lost and can't find a way out..."
He saw scrawled writings carved on a stone in the black soil. It seemed that the person who wrote the words was extremely anxious and a little desperate.
