The ancient temple is surrounded by traces of erosion over time, completely different from the world of data just now.
As for Tongxiang, the ancient town of Jinxi on the outskirts of the coastal city in the south of the Yangtze River, it is already a matter at the foot of the mountain.
But for this,
Su Wen finally just smiled gently,
He casually picked up a cigarette from the table and inserted it into the gap of the incense burner. Then he lightly lit the match.
As the flames jumped, the cigarette was slowly lit,
The curls of green smoke intertwined with the scent of incense from the ancient temple, adding an inexplicable flavor of the year to this sudden calm.
Su Wen does not have any meaning of worship. If it does, it may only be for the "long history" that has just passed.
So his actions at the moment may just be random actions to add a little bit of New Year flavor.
In some areas of Jiangnan in China, these so-called sacrifices are taken very seriously. But because no one had ever accompanied him during the New Year celebrations before, Su Wen paid no attention to these so-called old customs.
but,
This year is different,
So he just said gently:
"Dai Fuxu, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, once wrote in "New Year's Eve": Sweep the hut away from the hustle and bustle, and worship the sky with a stick of fragrance.
Maybe what I'm doing now is somewhat similar."
And hearing him say that,
The cold girl just smiled:
"It's very artistic, but unfortunately, tomorrow is New Year's Eve."
But after saying this, she quietly followed Su Wen, then lightly lit a cigarette and inserted it into the incense burner.
Along with the curl of cigarettes,
The two of them also walked out of this dilapidated temple.
And until this moment, the faint light of the sun shines into the house by coincidence, illuminating the panoramic view of the temple:
This ruined temple,
There is not even a single worship statue,
Only two sections of incense smoke remained, slowly flying away in the spring breeze.
As Su Wen moved away from the temple,
He looked from the mountain and saw the path he had walked this morning on the top of the majestic mountain:
At the foot of the mountain, the scenery of the small town on the outskirts of Jiangnan gradually took on a festive color under the rays of the sun.
Each high-hanging red lantern is like a star blooming in advance in the white night. They are intertwined with various colorful lanterns, making this ancient city full of New Year atmosphere, warm and peaceful.
It was as if he could not see the picture of having just experienced an extraordinary crisis.
But the black cars belonging to the night watchmen and the cordons set up also prove all this.
now,
The handsome scholar faced the cool wind of late winter and early spring, and at the same time he saw Liu Yun and Lin Xiqing, who were directing among the crowd.
But in the end, he did not choose to stop or say too much. He just smiled gently and then shook his head.
at the end,
He just said calmly: "Let's go."
Su Wen didn't want to get too involved in the Night Watchman's actions.
Jiang Menghan is even more like this,
Otherwise she wouldn't have come to help him, and she even put on that little fox mask that he could spot at a glance.
certainly,
At this moment, the girl just hung the mask sideways on one side of her fair face.
The cool temperament that was originally free from dust and simply tied with a simple and elegant hosta in her hair became a bit more pretty.
A few strands of broken hair blew across her fair cheeks in the wind, making everything feel more indescribably beautiful in the quiet and slightly chilly atmosphere as the new year was approaching.
certainly,
Although he would never get tired of seeing such a beautiful 'scenery', it would be too boring to say it.
So Su Wen just said slowly:
"sometimes,
I think it might be easier to face pure abyssal pollution.
At least you don’t have to face that entangled, complicated ‘greed’.
You don’t have to think about how many layers of other people’s dark spying are nested above the conspiracy.
certainly,
If we just talk about the incident in Kunlun,
I don’t think a thief who stole the core of the Abyss Branch can escape directly into the hinterland of Binhai City so smoothly.”
And after hearing his lazy speech, Jiang Menghan, who had been waiting quietly, finally couldn't help it anymore.
The corners of her mouth rose up and she couldn't help but chuckle, and her beautiful and beautiful face suddenly bloomed, with a smile as bright as a flower:
"You,
Maybe you are the only one who feels that facing the abyss is easier than facing ordinary people with out-of-control psychic abilities.
In fact, many people simply cannot resist the pollution of the abyss. Even shallow pollution may cause long-term sequelae of exposure to Chernobyl.
I don’t know how you did it.”
"That includes you, Miss Jiang.
So promise me,
Don’t take any chances next time.”
"I don't agree."
She shook her head. This cold and quiet girl would only be particularly determined or stubborn at such times.
What's more, obtaining Artemis's pedigree does not mean that you need to be overly sentimental.
Being affected by the sublimation lineage is what the fragile and the abyssal fallen do.
in other words,
This is why even if Lendl obtained [Ashes], a pedigree that is already somewhat biased towards the abyss in terms of color index,
But she was still able to become the captain of the sentry.
The extraordinary in this world has always matched the lineage of sublimation with its own will, and used its own will to embark on the road beyond the sea of stars.
in other words.
The firmness and unshakable will of a beautiful girl may be the true match for Artemis’ [eternity].
No matter if it is [eternal love] or not.
at the same time,
Along with the complete disappearance of the projection relics, the electromagnetic intervention like the space-like Faraday Cage quietly disappeared.
in other words,
Su Wen's phone finally got through again.
And the person who called him was no one else, it was Liu Yun from the bottom of the mountain. She wanted to try this method after searching for Su Wen for a long time without finding any traces:
"How are you? Are you injured?"
"fine."
"Then what exactly did you encounter after going through that time-stuck experience? Can you tell me about it?
We just experienced a similar incident."
And after hearing her serious question,
Su Wen just smiled casually:
"As for what happened in the ruins, I can only say that it doesn't have much to do with me.
I just watched a long [movie],
certainly,
If you really want to know the answer,
In two days, maybe
Let’s find time to talk in detail on the third and fourth day of the new year. I still have one piece of early warning work that I need to leave to you.
As for now,
Happy New Year."
He hung up the phone, and then the beautiful girl next to him shrugged:
"I know you don't like being in the limelight.
so,
Compared to helping the night watchman complete the case filing.
today,
How about we do something else?"
But the next second, before Jiang Menghan could answer, another piece of communication data appeared directly in his ears:
And it’s an extremely dull voice:
【Data test,
Repeat, data test]
[Respondent, can you hear me?]
now,
I heard this urn sound.
Su Wen, who was interrupted continuously, felt that his mood was a bit complicated now:
"Kunlun,
It stands to reason that as an advanced artificial intelligence like you, you should at least understand the specific meaning of the word atmosphere."
