A day and a night had passed since the opening of the Dead Man's Swamp.
Even so, the huge figure still seems to be lingering in Ye Lingyu's mind. There are no clouds in the Swamp of the Dead, but if it were the outside world, the huge pale skeleton must tower into the clouds. With eyes open and closed, it is all invisible
Fragments of a complete picture. In her mind, the image of the desolate skeleton was like a broken puzzle piece, trying to piece together a complete image in an erratic form.
It's shuddering.
Her impression of what happened at that time was very vague. It was nothing more than what Mutue-kun said to it, and Xie Zhe and Han Zhang also gave many words of advice. They were indeed a little shocked when they first met, even if they had done it
Psychological preparation. However, the two of them adapted faster than themselves. Is it... the general? Liangyue-kun's friend? It was actually a human once. There were many soldiers around it, although none of them were
Complete, there are even little monsters with only skeletons left, but they are all covered in battle armor. The styles, colors, and degrees of wear of the battle armors are all different. They may be a mixture of the characteristics of different eras and different places, but now they are all gathered here.
, under the command of General Mu. As for the general, he may have had a majestic armor, but the world's fighting spirit caused it to expand continuously, and it became what it is today, and it can't be worn by anything.
Ling Huan still remembered that it made a terrifying sound when it bent down, which was similar to the strange sounds described in ghost novels that would echo in places like valleys or empty streets - at least it was similar to what she simulated in her mind. Click, click, it seemed.
It would break in the next moment. Its terrifying face hung straight down from a high place, very close to her. The two empty eye sockets were about to suck away the human soul. She could even see the fine and sparse holes in the bones.
It handed her something and she held it at her fingertips. Ling Huan picked it up blankly and held it in her hand, only to realize that it was a book. She didn't know why her eyes were filled with fear, but she couldn't get out of the wilderness.
She moved away from the skeleton and didn't even think about opening the book. At that time, did her companion and Mutsuki-kun look at her and say something to her? She couldn't remember clearly.
Even if it's only been one day.
Han Chang picked up the book and waved it in front of her, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
"Are you confused?" Han Sheng said, "Why are you so absent-minded after coming back from the Dead Man's Swamp?"
"The miasma around General Naked is the strongest. She may have inhaled more accidentally through the gauze. The medicine Mutsuki-kun took has eliminated the toxicity of the miasma, and she should be back to normal after a little while."
Han Zhang retorted to Xie Zhe: "I see, it was the general's majestic appearance that shocked her."
"Stop talking about those useless things...can you put away Wan Guizhi?"
"Wan Gui Zhi?" Ling Huan woke up completely and suddenly raised his ears.
"Yeah? Have you forgotten that General Shi still has to entrust us to do things before he is willing to be reincarnated?"
"What...is it? Wan Guizhi...isn't he in Death Shadow Pavilion?"
It was as if she had just woken up. The two looked at each other for a while and frowned in unison.
"You are too forgetful."
"Yes, you didn't hear what we said yesterday, did you?"
Didn't hear it? Impossible. She was very confident in her hearing. But when she recalled what Xie Zhe said, she felt that maybe she had accidentally inhaled the miasma, and something was wrong with her whole body. Mutsuki-kun had already left.
Yes, she knew that there was a simple goodbye part in her memory, although she was a little absent-minded at the time.
"When we were at the Death Shadow Pavilion, the Wangui Zhi was indeed still in Lord Gaoyue's hands, but when we were resting, Kannau-kun had already taken the Wangui Zhi from Lord Gaoyue and handed it over to General Mu.
The general’s request.”
Han Zhang still held it in his hand and waved it twice in the air. Ye Lingyu stretched out his hand and motioned for him to hand it to him, and Han Zhang did so. The book was very ordinary and old, although it was not that pinched yet.
It was just broken, but it had become damp and yellowed, as if it had lost its vitality. The cover was ordinary navy blue, dyed with polygonum indigo. She tried to flip through a few pages, but found that there was no end.
"this……"
"This is the one that Mr. Gao Yue re-binded." Xie Zhe sighed, "In the past, it was folded and bound, but later it was mostly bound with threads, so she tidied it up. After all, Mr. Liang Yue protected it after he left.
The spiritual power has also dissipated, and the paper has become very fragile."
How could this seemingly thin book contain so many things? Even so, Gao Yuejun could still manage it. How he did it, I'm afraid Ling Huan didn't know. She closed the book and gently touched the cover.
, has a velvety feel. This is also a characteristic of very old books. It seems that after being repaired, it has been read countless times in the Shadow Pavilion.
Ye Lingquan remembered that they had gone to another place - a place far away from Qingli Ze. Because the Dead Man's Swamp was a hub extending in all directions, the few people passed through the special door of flowers and trees when they left, but
In fact, they have reached a completely different area. Compared to Qinglize, it is much drier here. She always feels uncomfortable in her nasal cavity, maybe she is not used to it yet. So she rubs her nose, and Han Chang has already poured water for them.
There is a lot of wind and sand in this area, blowing from far away. The nearest one is a lonely flat-topped mountain, which can be seen through this temporary hotel. The buildings in this unknown town are low, probably to prevent wind and sand. After all,
In front of the small town is a flat, wide, endless wasteland. As far as the eye can see, there is no green at all.
Xie Zhe looked over and said softly: "That mountain doesn't look big."
"It's bigger in the near distance and smaller in the distance, brother. The sun at noon and the sun in the afternoon are actually the same size. I didn't refer to it. That's the truth."
"What? Are they the same size?" Ling Huan looked at him in surprise.
Han Chang, who was refilling the cup, spilled the tea.
"...the same size. Because the sun is high in the sky at noon, there is no comparison, so you think it is small; in the morning and in the afternoon, there are houses and trees in comparison, which make it look bigger. If you don't believe it, you can use your finger to measure it yourself."
"That's so dazzling..."
"Anyway, this mountain is quite big." Han Chang also looked at it through the window, "They said that this is the closest entrance to the Eclipse Tower. As long as there are weapons like Fengyun Zhan that can disrupt spiritual power,
It can be used as a key to enter that place."
"Yes, is there any other way? I heard there are many roads..."
"We haven't set off yet, why is Miss Ye so discouraged?"
Xie Zhe smiled. He was carefully wiping the light sword. It looked smooth, shiny and extremely clean.
"Isn't this a prepared plan?"
Having said that, the three of them were actually a little unsure. How could a weapon be used as a key? Is there a huge lock specially designed for weapons-sized keys? Besides, in such a barren wilderness, where could one see something like this?
What about a "door" like the entrance to Death Shadow Pavilion? There is no way to lock an entrance like that.
Here, they are not cold, it is better to say that there is no feeling of winter at all. In areas such as deserts, there is no concept of winter. Therefore, Ling Huan always feels that the "New Year" is far away from him.
Is it also a concept closely related to ice and snow?
At noon, the three of them were all a little hot, especially riding a rented camel on the vast Gobi Desert, which was baked crispy by the winter sun. The camel has a sunshade, but the sun shines from the front
Come over, the shadows have gone behind their buttocks. The sun rises slowly and sets slowly, and they finally feel
It was cooler. It took them most of the day to reach the shadow of Pingding Mountain. Even so, there was still a long way to go. But the climate here is strange. Once you stay away from the sun and hide yourself in the shadow,
They felt cold immediately. They had just taken off their coats and had to put them on again.
Han Zhang sighed at the end: "It's a bit troublesome. I'm afraid we won't be able to go back at night. It will be very cold here at night. I heard it can kill people. Have we brought enough things to protect ourselves from the cold?"
Xie Zhe, who was at the front, responded: "That's probably enough. We always bring stuff for winter."
They came to the foot of the mountain. Here, the camels could no longer move forward and had to rely on people to climb up. There was a row of wooden piles and a simple shed here, which was a place for the rented camels to rest. Camels are very smart, and sometimes because
If you get lost for some reason, you can find it again. The slope on this side of Pingding Mountain is already relatively gentle, and it is said that the opposite side is like a cliff.
Steep. As for where the so-called gate of Eclipse Palace is located, no one is sure. Mu Yuejun only told them, "at the place where Pingding Mountain is located", which is terribly vague. But according to Xie Zhe, he
Every time this person felt that he had said it very clearly and enough, and no matter how much he was asked, he could not give a simpler explanation.
This is a pain for them. After all, this mountain is really high and big. Although the top has become flat due to wind erosion and other reasons, the climbing time of the entire flat-topped mountain is still difficult to estimate. First of all, climbing a mountain is also
There are other mountains for comparison. At least you know roughly where you are climbing. This loneliness
The zero one is a bit embarrassing. What's more, even on such a mountain, the vegetation is sparse and scarce, the sand is difficult to fix, and every step you take is a bit soft, for fear of slipping down accidentally. Only in those ravines eroded by nature
, it was rare to save some water, and the pitiful green color came out.
Han Chang's hands and feet were still very nimble. Here, he probably regained a bit of those days of running in the mountains and fields. Although he was the last one to go up, he quickly surpassed the other two people. Xie Zhe had no choice but to specially
Slowing down, he stared at the landing spot for Ling Huan at the end. Han Sheng stopped on a wide platform, turned around, and felt a little emotional.
