Hearing this, Gu Jun had countless messy thoughts, and finally decided to pretend to be mute, and walked towards the street towards the two of them with crutches. This was not a risk-free choice, but if he was caught up by the pursuers behind him, it might be even worse.
Bad situation.
He followed the two young men and women, walking from one street to another, winding around on the narrow stone paths between the black towers.
The sound of the frightening and angry pursuit was getting farther and farther. Gu Jun kept paying attention to his surroundings as he walked. There was nothing unusual. If others passed by, they would not look at them twice. Obviously, they cannot act like that in Dilas-Lin. The wind here
It has a peculiar smell, which is very unpleasant and makes people feel dangerous.
He was also silently observing these two people. They both had black hair and strong bodies. The man was older and had a very ordinary appearance, while the woman was quite charming.
Why should they help me? What do you mean by "the same kind of people"?
After walking for a while, they arrived at the river bank under a stone bridge. An old canoe that could accommodate four or five people was parked there. A kerosene lamp was hung on the bamboo pole at the bow of the boat, illuminating it with a yellowish light.
around.
The man boarded the canoe first and picked up the oar to paddle. The woman said, "Sir, please get on board."
"Yeah." Gu Junya shouted, but he still didn't reveal his language, because whether it was an earth language or a foreign language, it would explain a lot.
He pointed to his eyeballs, turned them around and asked them, "Who are you?"
"Sir, your eyes are too oppressive..." The woman frowned, "My name is Peacock, and that is Mo Qing."
Gu Jun felt disappointed again, and he realized that this was either a peacock or a mo, or it was expressing something, like the name of a gem.
Therefore, the names do not reveal their origins. The language cannot explain exactly what information, just like the language he used is eyeball, it may also be a disguise.
"Why are you helping me?" He rolled his eyes and asked again, testing their meaning.
The speaker was still Peacock, her expression was very serious, "Sir, you are a practitioner of the "Seven Secrets of the Earth". You have that feeling in your nightmares. It is not strong, but we can feel that you have summoned
Its power."
Oh, Gu Jun's mind suddenly thought, "the same kind of people" means they all practice the "Seven Secrets of the Earth"?
He thought for a while and deliberately tried: "I thought it was because we are of the same race."
"That's naturally another reason." Peacock smiled, "Sir, you are very cautious."
Gu Jun glanced at the tall black towers along both sides of the river. In such a strange and strange place, if you are not careful, you will die miserably.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"Leave Dilas-Lin first." Peacock looked at him and said in a friendly tone: "We don't know what happened to you, sir, but you can't stay here anymore. Black merchants will not allow their slaves to escape. Which family
If the slaves run away, they will unite the whole city to arrest them, take them back and put them in sealed wooden boxes to starve to death."
She looked into the distance into the night and said, "We are going to Usa Town. Sir, you can go with us first, and you can leave on your own when we get there."
Gu Jun thought to himself that these people were very familiar with this place. If he asked what Wusa Town was, he would expose his ignorance...
"What are you doing there?" he asked.
"Visit Atar, the great elder of Uzza Temple." Peacock replied, "We have something to ask him."
Peacock didn't say much about what was going on. Of course Gu Jun knew that he was on guard against others, and they were also on guard against him. But he asked again: "Where are your companions?"
"They are still busy in Dilas-Lin." Peacock only said, "Sir, it's getting late. You have to make a decision whether to come with us or not."
"Why did you know I would run away?" Gu Jun continued to ask, "You seem to be waiting for me there."
"Because we were backstage at the theater at the time," Peacock said, "we saw people running away screaming, saying that the Nightmare Man was coming to kill them."
Gu Jun recalled that there were many passers-by at that time, which was a fair statement, but whether they knew he could speak was still a question...
In the end, he decided to get on the ship, because it would be easier to deal with these two or five people than those slave buyers.
After he boarded the canoe, the peacocks also boarded the boat, rowing the canoe one by one with the silent Mo Qing, and slowly left on the river.
Gu Jun took the opportunity to sort himself out. His mental erosion rate was 24.78%, which was a dangerous situation. Only three of the eight sweet dreams were left, and they were all close to being broken. Those vines seemed to have formed a symbiotic relationship with him, penetrating deep into his flesh and blood.
If you take out the Kalop equipment, you will expose yourself again, so don't touch them yet.
He slowly took off his white mask, and in the hazy night, dark shadows were reflected on the gloomy river surface.
He glanced towards the river and saw his own face... What a strange face it was, even smallpox pockmarks couldn't compare. The whole face was covered with scars left after the scabs fell off, densely packed and layered.
Everything is still purple... There is a big cut mark on the left side of the neck, which is particularly scary.
The eye sockets of both eyes were still rotten to pieces, and blood could not flow out. The eyes were hollow. If they were not hollow, there would be disaster.
Gu Jun looked at that weird face, a little dazed.
I really don’t know if I’m still salty now…
"Sir, I haven't asked you yet how to address you?" Peacock asked at this time, his tone seemed a bit sincere.
"Nightmare Man." Gu Jun gestured with his eyeballs, put on the white mask again, and just called this name first.
There is actually quite a distance between Usa Town and Dilas-Lin. Peacock said it would take seven days by land and three days by water.
For three days, whether on the canoe or ashore to camp and rest, Gu Jun was resting his spirit while keeping a vigilant eye on the two of them.
During this period, Mo Qing said less than ten sentences, while Peacock talked a lot, but his words were so precise that he had no way of judging the other person's background.
Gu Jun gradually discovered that Usa Town seemed to be the place where he was sold to black traders by the ancestors, because the river turned green, the vast and fertile plains appeared, and those quiet farmhouses came into view again.
On the morning of the fourth day, they were walking on the cobblestone lanes of this ancient town. There were low buildings with pointed roofs. Some houses had protruding floors hanging above the streets, and chimney pipes were everywhere.
All, but more...
Gu Jun walked for a short distance and noticed that there were large groups of cats. They were all kinds of cats, but they were all fat and had shiny hair. They didn't look like stray cats.
Peacock said to him seriously: "Uzzah has a rule, you cannot hurt cats. Cats have a great status here."
Gu Jun couldn't help but think of Wu Shiyu's words that he could feel the cat from the long sword and long bow...
He did not leave on his own, but continued to follow the two of them to the Temple of Uzzah on crutches.
The temple complex built among the hills is also simple and plain. If it is not a temple, it can be said that it is just a residence of a wealthy family. Gu Jun did not see the statues enshrined here, but there were more cats.
On the top of the highest hill in Uzza, stands a round stone tower, covered with a layer of green vines.
Great Elder Atal is inside the tower, but every day many locals and foreigners come to visit him and queue up at the entrance of the tower.
While queuing up, Peacock said to Gu Jun again: "The great elder Atal is the apprentice of the sage Balzai, and he has been taught by Balzai. It is said that they once climbed the Hatig-Kola Mountain, and only Atal came back.
Yes, he said that Balsa was kidnapped by an unknown force when he was spying on the gods of the earth."
Gu Jun's expression suddenly changed, but it was just covered by the mask.
Sage Balsa? That old captain of the White Ship, is he really from Usa Town...
At this time, he seemed to hear Balce's crazy shout again:
"I, the sage Barzai, use my wisdom to surpass the gods of the earth, and use my will to turn the spells and barriers of the gods into nothing!"
Did that vision happen when Balsa and Attar were climbing Mount Khatig-Kola? And what force turned this ecstasy into extreme fear?
Balsa welcomes people who come to the dream world...Will this Atal know how to leave the dream world?
Gu Jun's heart was full of doubts and apprehensions, as well as some suppressed expectations. After a while, it was finally their turn to enter the tower.
On the first floor of the tower, Atal, who was wearing a long robe, was sitting on an ivory podium. When he saw them, his old face suddenly changed in shock.
Atal lost all the calmness of the past, and stood up in surprise, tremblingly, with a red face, "The sage Barzai predicted this scene... The man in rags comes wearing a white mask... The wise Baal
Damn it! Three hundred years later, my knowledge is still not as good as his."
