Hearing Jiang Baimian's answer, a middle-aged man with long black hair and a loose black robe found a place beside the bonfire and sat down casually, looking very free and easy.
The blonde, blue-eyed woman in a gray-blue robe sat down and didn't care, as if she wasn't worried about Shang Jianyao and the others harboring evil intentions.
This confidence and attitude made Jiang Baimian unable to help but laugh:
"Do we look so harmless?"
Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong flashed similar thoughts at the same time:
These two are obviously very confident!
"Isn't this a ruined city in the old world just discovered? Everyone is running, how can there be time to kill each other?" The middle-aged man stretched out his hands and warmed up on the bonfire, "What's your name?"
Jiang Baimian sat back to his original position and replied calmly:
"Jiang Baimian.
"We come from a certain faction and go to the Black Marsh wilderness to complete certain tasks."
She took the initiative to reveal a bit of her identity, but she didn't fully explain it, hoping to make the other party have some scruples, and everyone ended the evening peacefully and parted ways.
The reason why she agreed to communicate with the two people on the opposite side by the bonfire was mainly considering that Shang Jianyao's Awakener's ability range was limited, and the short distance was definitely better than the long distance.
Even if there are also awakened people on the opposite side, the key target will definitely only be Jiang Baimian, who behaves like a leader. In this way, Shang Jianyao will have a chance - even if the opponent can use a range similar to "Hungry Ghost Dao" At this distance, Shang Jianyao, who was already prepared, had time to complete a counterattack and make a corresponding impact.
"I can tell." The middle-aged man had no doubts about Jiang Baimian's voluntary disclosure of identity. "Whether it is in terms of appearance, body shape, skin, clothing or weapons, you are not like wanderers in the wilderness, haha, Only that little girl makes me not sure."
He was referring to the morning when rabbits were being roasted.
Jiang Baimian was about to reply, "We are not too young," when the middle-aged man continued:
"My name is Du Heng, Mu Tu Du, balanced Heng.
"I'm a historical researcher and an antiquarian. I'm ashamed to say that, although I joined the Hunter Guild for more than 20 years, I was only a novice before, and I only recently became an official. Hey, I haven't received a few commissions. , and more to use their resources and information to complete their own research, no, there is an old world city ruins that have never been explored, and I am here."
He kept a smile all the time as he spoke and seemed very kind.
But his answer made Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others dare not despise:
An antiquarian and historical researcher who seems to be carrying only a pistol dares to wander alone on the dusty soil, explore the ruins of the city, and still live to middle age - this itself shows that the other party must not be easy.
The blond woman followed and introduced herself:
"My name is Galoran, a Taoist priest."
Although she can speak Greyhound, some pronunciations are still a bit weird, which makes Shang Jianyao and others always feel that the style is not right.
Galoran continued with a faint smile:
"I came here because there are a lot of people walking this way, so I'll follow along to have a look."
"It's really casual..." Jiang Baimian commented unceremoniously.
Galoran responded with an unabated smile:
"if not
"Since the destruction of the old world, many people have understood a fact:
"Although we humans claim to be high-level creatures, in front of the world and destiny, we are like fallen leaves in the wind..."
While speaking, she pointed to the sparse trees in the distance:
"You can only dance with the wind, you can't decide where you're going to fall.
"Since it is impossible to resist the arrangement of fate, it is better to give up the idea of this aspect, move with the wind, change your thinking, go to see the various scenery on the way, find the existence of the Tao, and then use this to distinguish the truth from the false, and completely get rid of the shackles. , expecting eternity.
"As the saying goes, people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows the nature."
Seeing such a beautiful blonde and blue-eyed woman chatting in front of him, Long Yuehong and others were a little confused.
They can understand every word of the other party, but they are quite at a loss when they are connected as a whole.
In the end, they can only summarize each other's behavior as:
Whatever happens.
"I probably understand." Jiang Baimian nodded earnestly.
Du Heng glanced at Galolan thoughtfully, then pointed at the rabbit and said:
"When I came here just now, I saw two hares. This means that the prey here is not too scarce. Why did you only catch one? So many people..."
Hearing this question, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong's faces flushed to varying degrees.
Jiang Baimian glanced at them from the corner of his eye, then shook his head with a low smile:
"God has the virtue of good life."
Du Heng showed an expression of sudden realization:
"Are you members of the monk order? Or are you taught by Crystal Consciousness?"
"No." Jiang Baimian explained casually, "We just met a mechanical monk from the monk sect, and we had a little conflict with him, and we fought a battle."
Du Heng opened his mouth slightly, thought about it, and said:
"Did that monk wear a red cassock?"
"Yes." Jiang Baimian did not hide it.
Du Heng and Galolan looked at the four-person team again.
After the former retracted his gaze, he smiled and said:
"You are still great.
"As far as I know, those mechanical monks wearing red cassocks in the monk order are not too unlikely to be awakened at the same time."
Galoran nodded, indicating that he had heard of it too.
"He is." Jiang Baimian affirmed the speculations of the two people on the opposite side.
She looked around without letting her eyes stop on anyone, and then asked with a smile:
"You two, you seem to have a deep understanding of the Awakened?"
Since Du Heng said, "Isn't it good to have a chat?" and Galolan advocates being at ease with the situation, she is not polite and begins to seek information that is absolutely rare for ordinary people.
If the other party doesn't answer, she certainly won't force it. If she answers, she will consider splitting the rabbit's legs to go there - anyway, the four of them never thought of feeding on such a small prey. The highlight is energy bars and compressed biscuits. A few more military cans.
Du Heng touched the beard around his mouth:
"Oh, it's up to me."
As he said that, he showed a clear smile.
Before the blonde female Taoist Galoran spoke, Du Heng added proudly:
"However, I have known several awakened people, and they told me that the awakened people are also exploring and pursuing the new world in their hearts, just like everyone on the ashes is looking for the door to the new world in reality. No more hunger, no more disease and distortion.
"Yes, the monks call it the 'Pure Land of Bliss'."
Shang Jianyao listened very seriously and seemed to have some enlightenment.
At this time, Galolan interjected with a soft expression:
"Those mechanical monks in red cassocks in the monk order have a certain probability to have entered the 'sea of origin'."
"Yes, yes, 'Sea of Origin'! They mentioned this term." Du Heng slapped his thigh.
Jiang Baimian listened quietly and asked thoughtfully:
"If you cross the 'Sea of Origin', where will you arrive?"
"I don't know." Galoran responded peacefully.
Du Heng smiled and didn't answer, but he didn't say he didn't know.
Jiang Baimian thought for two seconds, then asked:
"And where did you enter the 'Sea of Origins'?"
Galolan looked at the jumping red bonfire and said:
"Everyone calls there differently."
At this time, Du Heng interjected with a smile:
"The more recognized one is: 'The Hall of Stars'."
Shang Jianyao's eyes moved slightly, but his expression did not change significantly.
"Is that so." Jiang Baimian nodded slightly, "I haven't contacted a few awakened people, and I don't know much about them."
After she finished speaking, she didn't give Du Heng and Galolan a chance to speak, and looked sideways at Bai Chen:
"How's the roast?"
"It's almost there." Bai Chen took back the branch with the rabbit on it.
"It's a guest from afar, share some for the two of them." Jiang Baimian instructed.
Bai Chen knew how rare the information he had just heard, and had no resistance at all. After letting the roasted rabbit dissipate the heat, he tore off his two hind legs and handed them to Du Heng and Galolan respectively.
—After so many years of wandering in the dust, it was the first time she heard the terms "Sea of Origins" and "Hall of Stars".
Du Heng was not polite, he stretched out his hand to take it, grabbed the top of his leg bone, and ate it hot.
"Yes, it's just right..." He complimented vaguely as he ate.
Galolan was more gentle than him, pinching the bulging bones that were not too warm, and biting down the rabbit meat in small bites.
At the same time, Bai Chen divided the remaining roasted rabbits into four portions and put them into the lunch box of himself and others.
Shang Jianyao took a bite and felt that the meat was really good, but when he chewed it, it felt more fragrant than the meat dishes in the company.
Long Yuehong is in charge of guarding the surroundings, watching eagerly, unable to enjoy it immediately.
After eating the bit of rabbit meat, Jiang Baimian smiled when he saw that Du Hengzheng was sucking the fingers that left behind the aftertaste, and said:
"Du, sir, didn't you say that you are a researcher of history and have a lot of knowledge
"Then what do you know about the newly discovered ruins north of Yuelu Station? Do you know which city in the old world it corresponds to?"
Du Heng took out a crumpled handkerchief, wiped his hands, and laughed:
"I don't know, a lot of information in the old world was completely lost when it was destroyed, and in the era of chaos, including many high-precision maps.
"But I can be sure that the newly discovered city ruins are definitely abnormal and have great research value."
"Why do you say that?" Jiang Baimian asked on behalf of Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao and others.
Du Heng looked up at the sky to the north:
"When the old world was destroyed, many people in the small towns and villages around the city survived, but no one ever mentioned or tried to explore the ruins of the city. Well, it was passed back by the relic hunters who discovered the ruins. intelligence."
For this, Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen deeply agreed - when Tian Erhe from Shuiwei Town was so young, they all ran back to the city to find their parents.
"Such details show that the ruins of the city are definitely not simple." Du Heng again gave a conclusion.
As soon as he finished speaking, a hoarse and desolate roar suddenly came from a distance to the north:
"Ow!"
In the silent night, it was like a nightmare was coming.
