Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 123: mass

Views:

After getting out of the RV, Jiang Baimian looked back and sighed "softly":

"Sang Zi..."

In the "I'm looking up" singing, her self-talk was completely drowned out.

The next second, she pressed Shang Jianyao's shoulders, pulled him back, and laughed loudly:

"You just skipped it!"

Then, she added with a smile:

"I originally thought that when I'm done with business and have dinner, I'll let you relax and have some fun.

"As a result, you used this opportunity ahead of time, and before you cherished it well, you jumped for a minute or two."

Shang Jianyao's expression changed, but he did not hide his disappointment and regret.

This made Jiang Baimian feel better.

She turned to Long Yuehong and Bai Chen and said:

"Are you going to play?"

"If I don't want to sleep with someone, I don't like this kind of entertainment. It's too noisy." Bai Chen replied calmly.

Long Yuehong, who was a little eager to try, saw that she was the only one left, so she couldn't help being a little scared, so she said sullenly:

"A little tired today."

This is also true, after so many days of long-distance travel, even if it is a rotating drive and enough rest, the mental state will be near the exhaustion line.

"Then go back." Jiang Baimian did not persuade him, but withdrew his gaze and walked out of the area first.

Shang Jianyao followed behind her and asked loudly because the loud music had not gone away:

"Team leader, don't you want to dance?"

"I'm such a prudent person." Jiang Baimian boasted, "How can I participate in such a messy activity? Besides, I have a better way to vent."

Saying that, she looked back at the three team members and smiled maliciously:

"When we get to Weed City and settle down, we have to practice fighting and adjust our skills to the best possible state.

"In this way, we can deal with the dangers lurking in subsequent investigations."

Hearing this sentence, Long Yuehong only felt pain all over her body.

While talking, they returned to the place where the jeep was parked, and found that many people in the camp were passing by on purpose and looked at their cars.

"They really love cars..." Jiang Baimian said sincerely.

Then, in no hurry to drive those people away, she stopped at a certain distance, as if thinking about something:

"Do you think Fei Lin, the chief priest of the 'Sacred Eye' sect, will be an Awakened

"If so, did he secretly use the Awakener ability to influence us?"

Hearing these two questions, Long Yuehong was startled and hurriedly checked herself.

Bai Chen immediately replied:

"I made a careful observation just now, and I didn't find that Fei Lin was different from ordinary people."

In other words, he may not have paid the price, and he will not be an Awakener.

"It may be that the cost is not obvious." Jiang Baimian put forward a counter-example.

She then half closed her eyes, not knowing what she was doing.

Shang Jianyao said seriously:

"There's nothing wrong with me."

"Neither did I. Jiang Baimian opened his eyes and answered in the affirmative, "Then treat Fei Lin as not an awakener for the time being. "

After chatting like this for a while, when the crowd of onlookers had almost dispersed, and the fierce music in the distance subsided, Jiang Baimian said to Bai Chen and Long Yuehong:

"Tonight you are on duty first, or the old rules."

"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong is already very skilled.

Shang Jianyao didn't speak, got on the jeep, and lay down in the back row.

At the same time, he pinched the temples on both sides.

In the "Sea of Origins" that flickered as far as the eye could see, Shang Jianyao swam forward in a freestyle posture, alternating his arms.

Most of his swimming postures were learned in this spiritual world during this period of time.

- "Pangu creatures" does not have swimming lessons, because this is not useful in the underground building at all. Shang Jianyao swam for the first time in the Green River on his way to Qifeng Town after leaving the ruins of the city where Xiaochong was. This is also part of training.

What he felt at the time was:

The water is too cold.

At this time, he was swimming aimlessly, as if there was no end.

This is also a kind of torture to the human mind.

Fortunately, whenever the "physical strength" is exhausted, it will quit on its own and will not "drown".

The boring repetition always makes people feel uncomfortable, but Shang Jianyao is very persistent and seems to be able to swim like this forever.

After an unknown time, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

It's a big island.

It was quietly lying on the water, with nothing above it except the rocks.

Shang Jianyao suddenly became excited, his arms alternated, and his feet quickly fetched water.

Soon, he arrived at the island and climbed up without thinking.

In the next second, figures appeared in the cracks of the rocks.

These figures were all covered with white sheets, completely covering their bodies.

At first glance, their faces are hidden in the shadow of the "cloak", so dark that they cannot be seen clearly.

Shang Jianyao immediately put on a fighting posture, and prepared to use the Awakener ability of "lack of two-handed movement".

However, when he encountered one of the figures and touched the white sheet-like "cloak", he suddenly felt powerless.

His forehead began to heat up, his heartbeat became very fast, and there seemed to be a bellows pulling between his breaths, blowing out a hot air.

All kinds of pain and discomfort occurred in an instant, and Shang Jianyao's movement became extremely difficult, and was soon overwhelmed by the white figures.

Shang Jianyao opened his eyes and sat up, gasping for breath.

Jiang Baimian woke up because of his movement, and habitually reached out and rubbed his eyes.

She thought about it for a while, and said tentatively:

"Discovered the second island?"

In the past half a month, Shang Jianyao had not seen this situation.

"Well." Shang Jianyao didn't hide it, and even took the initiative to describe his experience.

Jiang Baimian asked thoughtfully:

"What do you think was your state at the time?"

"I'm seriously ill." Shang Jianyao replied quite confidently.

Jiang Baimian gave a "hmm" and said sternly:

"Could it be that during the time when your mother was sick, you were often in and out of the hospital, and you were so young that you were afraid of the disease and left a shadow?"

She deliberately did not say that Shang Jianyao's mother died of illness, so as not to irritate the other party.

Shang Jianyao was silent for a few seconds and said:

"I watched her get pushed to the rescue, sat outside, and waited a long time."

Jiang Baimian sighed silently, and then asked:

"Have you been ill since then? A serious illness?"

"No." Shang Jianyao shook his head.

"It can be seen that he is as strong as a cow." Jiang Baimian was someone who had really seen a cow.

Shang Jianyao didn't ask what Zhuang Zhuang was like, thinking about it:

"You mean, let me have a serious illness and overcome it in reality?"

"I didn't mean it!" Jiang Baimian denied it angrily and hilariously, "This kind of thing is uncontrollable, and the result is most likely not you defeating it, but it defeating you."

She stopped Shang Jianyao from coming up with more bizarre plans, and said sternly:

"Let me think about it for a few days, and think about it again, don't try it rashly."

She was afraid that a person like Shang Jianyao, who has the unique and persistent mentality of a mental patient, would not simply follow her own advice, and emphasized the following responsibilities:

"We are going to Weed City soon, we can't lose our strength!"

"Well." Shang Jianyao nodded and agreed.

Jiang Baimian immediately softened his voice:

"You go to sleep a little longer, this time for real sleep to replenish your energy."

At noon the next day, they arrived at the RV of Fei Lin, head of the "Sangzi" business group.

At this time, the chairs and stools outside were neatly arranged in rows and rows.

Fei Lin, who has a gray beard around his mouth, has put on an orange robe, and his expression is a little more serious.

"Are you here?" Seeing Brother Life and Death and his team coming over, Fei Lin greeted with a smile.

After the greeting, Jiang Baimian asked curiously:

"Why is your Mass at noon, is it because the name of the God of Sui Sui is 'Shuangri'?"

"Yeah." Fei Lin nodded, "'Double Sun' is not only in charge of the hottest month of July, but also at noon."

"Is that so..." Jiang Baimian, who got the answer, was extremely satisfied.

At this time, Shang Jianyao asked abruptly:

"Are there any awakened ones in your sect?"

Flynn couldn't help coughing twice:

"Let's talk about this kind of thing in private, shall we?"

Shang Jianyao looked around and said:

"Look, there's no one around."

Flynn was persuaded:

"Yes, I've seen three or four."

"Are you?" Shang Jianyao was very direct.

Flynn quickly shook his head:

"of course not.

"I dare not pay the price."

Speaking of which, he tutted:

"Our sect has an Awakener at the cost of severe hair loss.

"Hehe, at our age, every hair is extremely precious, how can you be willing?"

While speaking, Fei Lin raised his hand and touched his short hair with a few silver strands in it, with a proud look on his face.

Jiang Baimian laughed and said:

"Actually, this price is quite good and will not be targeted."

"Yeah, that's why I'll tell you, otherwise I'll keep it a secret." Fei Lin wholeheartedly agreed, "In addition, there is another Awakener, from our business group, who has passed away, and his price is sexual fetish. Question. As you know, the people in our business group like cars, but we treat them more as precious possessions and family members who can't speak, and make jokes about it, and he... During that time, every family of us had to Protect your vehicle's exhaust pipe..."

This made everyone in the "Old Tune Group" deeply shocked.

Without waiting for their evaluation, Fei Lin looked up at the position of the sun and said with a smile:

"We're going to start Mass, we'll talk later."

Then, he stretched out two fingers and pressed them on the corresponding lower eye sockets:

"May your eyes be bright."

At this time, the chairs and stools in front of the RV were full of people.

Flynn quickly boarded the RV, stood at the door, pointed to the window next to him and said:

"The first step, salute."

It was not until this time that Long Yuehong discovered that there were two golden suns sticking to the window of the RV.

They are like a pair of radiant eyes.

The believers present stood up at the same time, pressed their fingers to the lower eye sockets, and solemnly praised:

"God is the sun and the moon!"

After completing the first step, Fei Lin motioned for everyone to sit down, and because there were guests watching, he said a few more words:

"Zhisui is both the sun and the moon, and it also represents the divine eye.

"He told us that on the dusty soil, only with a sharp enough eye and a strong body can we find and enter the new world.

"The second step, the formal ceremony.

"This is a ritual from before the destruction of the old world, and it is a testament to people's respect for the old age in the distant era. It has survived disasters and is still passed down.

"Comrades, get ready:

"Close your eyes! Play sacred music!"

The music followed, and then a female voice echoed:

"The first section, rubbing the Tianying point."
