For the time being, we don’t care about the next fate of the giant bear spirit who was tricked by Yin Kuang twice. When Yin Kuang and Lu Xia Leng returned to the cave as their temporary foothold, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening.
The heavy rain caused by Yin Kuang today covered an area of hundreds of miles. Naturally, this area was also washed away by heavy rains. The water level of the river is obviously much higher than before. The originally gentle river now became turbulent. The sound of running water echoed in the river valley.
Even the "lazy and slow" Liusha River was obviously "impatient" at this time.
Standing outside the cave, Yin Kuang and Lu Xialeng saw the flickering fire inside the cave. Obviously none of them had a rest - that's right, after such a big thing happened, who would be in the mood to rest
When Yin Kuang and Lu Xia Leng walked into the cave, they silently walked to two empty seats and sat down.
In this way, ten people formed a circle around the campfire. On this cold night, it is undoubtedly a happy thing to have a jumping bonfire to keep warm.
However, there is still an open seat, right between Pan Longtao and Zeng Fei. This empty seat seems to be empty forever...
No one said anything. Just sit quietly like that. No one looks at anyone. Ten pairs of eyes stared motionlessly at the "whirring" burning bonfire.
What can be said? Nothing can be said. The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more - this is what colleges and universities teach them! Silence is better than speaking.
Tang Rouyu added firewood to the bonfire one by one, making the bonfire more and more prosperous. Everyone's faces were also roasted red. And this sitting lasted for more than an hour.
Finally, Li Shuangmu spoke and said, "Everyone, please stop sitting around. Let's follow the previous arrangement, one team resting and the other keeping vigil."
After listening to Li Shuangmu's words, everyone had a slight reaction.
So, Yin Kuang, Qian Qianqian, Tang Rouyu, Zeng Fei, and Pan Longtao continued to sit and watch the night. The remaining five people went into the depths of the cave to rest.
In fact, Wei Ming's death did not make everyone feel too sad. Because most people think that they can still see Wei Ming when they return to college. What everyone is more worried about is their own fate. Because everyone knows that in this S-level world, they may die at any time. This time it was Wei Ming, so next time... who will it be? This fear of death at any time is the real source of silence for everyone.
Qian Qianqian buried her head in Yin Kuang's arms and hugged Yin Kuang's waist tightly, looking sad and guilty.
"I'm really useless." Qian Qianqian said in a low voice, "It's all my fault for giving random opinions. If it weren't for my nonsense, everyone wouldn't be able to get rid of any monsters. If they didn't get rid of the monsters, they wouldn't have met the giant bear spirit. . That way Wei Ming wouldn't have to die. If I had come up with a cure earlier, Wei Ming wouldn't have to die. It's all my fault." As she spoke, Qian Qianqian choked up and buried her head deeper. .
Yin Kuang did not interrupt Qian Qianqian's words. Instead, he listened quietly. He knew that if Qian Qianqian didn't speak out these words, he would have to keep them in his heart, which would lead to more serious consequences. Qian Qianqian couldn't tell others, so she could only tell herself. Yin Kuang just needs to be a loyal listener.
Qian Qianqian sobbed for a long time, and her tears wet the clothes on Yin Kuang's chest. When the sobbing voice gradually weakened, Yin Kuang said softly: "Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah." Qian Qianqian rubbed her forehead against Yin Kuang's chest, apparently nodding.
Yin Kuang said: "When you feel better, just lean on me and rest for a while. Come, let's sit down." After saying to sit down, Yin Kuang directly picked her up, then put her on his lap and held her in his arms. "There are still more than two hours until shift handover. You are also tired today. Take a good rest." Qian Qianqian asked: "What about you?" Yin Kuang said: "I am in good spirits. Besides, there is the G virus, I It won’t matter if I don’t take a break for dozens of days.”
Qian Qianqian was indeed tired, both physically and mentally. So he said: "Okay." After saying that, he came up to Yin Kuang and kissed him, then pillowed his face in Yin Kuang's arms and gradually fell asleep.
At this time, Yin Kuang seemed to feel a pair of eyes looking over from behind. And when he turned his head subconsciously, the feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared. Yin Kuang originally wanted to use the "G virus eye" to see who it was. But as soon as I thought about it, I gave up the idea. Since it is behind him, he must be one of his own. Maybe the other party looked over accidentally? Yin Kuang also felt that there was no need to pursue it so deeply.
Not far behind Yin Kuang, Tang Rouyu leaned on a tree large enough to hide her body, looking up at the dark night sky. Under the reflection of the night sky, her eyes looked even deeper. Then she let out a long sigh. Then, it gradually drifted away, and finally its graceful figure was hidden by the night.
A night of silence.
The next day, the weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly.
Yin Kuang and Tang Rouyu said goodbye to everyone for the time being and rushed to Houjianji together. Yin Kuang wanted to redeem his "exorcism contribution" for killing the willow tree demon. Tang Rouyu went to collect intelligence information.
When the two of them landed on the outskirts of Hou Jianji, Yin Kuang saw that Tang Rouyu looked bad and asked, "Are you feeling unwell today? Your face looks so bad." Tang Rouyu touched her delicate and white cheeks and said: "Oh? Yes? It's okay. Maybe it was blown by the wind, it's nothing serious." How powerful is Yin Kuang's ability to observe words and emotions? He knew at a glance that Tang Rouyu had something on his mind. But since she didn't say anything, Yin Kuang was embarrassed to ask. She said, "If you feel uncomfortable, don't force it. Your health is important." Tang Rouyu smiled and nodded.
However, just when Yin Kuang turned around and walked towards the city gate, Tang Rouyu suddenly said: "Yin Kuang, I have a question for you..." Yin Kuang turned around and asked doubtfully: "What question?" Tang Rouyu pursed her lips and said: "If Qianqian and I are in danger at the same time, and you can only save one of us, who...will you save?" But after asking, Tang Rouyu sighed in distress and said, "I actually asked This is a silly question. Maybe I really didn’t get a good rest yesterday and my mind was a little confused. Don’t take it to heart.”
Yin Kuang secretly said: "You asked me all the questions, why don't you take it to heart?" So Yin Kuang stared at Tang Rouyu and said seriously: "I can save both of you!" Tang Rouyu sighed: "But I said You can only save one. Your answer makes me feel that you are very insincere. Forget it, I will just say it. You really don’t have to take it to heart." She smiled and continued, " Yin Kuang, remember, Sister Qian is the one you should save. As for me, I will protect myself." After saying that, he passed by Yin Kuang.
Yin Kuang was silent for a while, then sighed, then caught up with Tang Rouyu and followed her into the city. After entering the city, Tang Rouyu said: "Then let's split up and meet here in an hour." Yin Kuang said "Okay", and Tang Rouyu gradually walked into the crowd. Seeing her figure gradually being submerged by the crowd, Yin Kuang smiled bitterly, "Then what can I do?"
Next, Yin Kuang came to the Yamen. Coincidentally, I met the policeman again today. As soon as the policeman saw Yin Kuang, he was very excited. He shouted one hero at a time, saying that he had done great harm to the people and wanted to drag Yin Kuang to collect the silver reward. Yin Kuang was puzzled. He hadn't even taken out the willow tree demon's wicker yet. Could it be that the catcher knew about it in advance? After asking carefully, Yin Kuang understood. It turned out that the monster in Liusha River had not appeared in the past few days, so the police officers thought that Yin Kuang had eliminated it. So Yin Kuang told him the truth.
The policeman was stunned, "Why haven't we received any news about the monster's appearance in the past few days?" Yin Kuang said: "Maybe he has eaten several people from the village and needs to digest it slowly. Anyway, we have been here for the past few days. I have been guarding the entrance of the small fishing village, but the monster has not appeared." The policeman smiled bitterly, confessed his crime, and then asked Yin Kuang the reason for his visit.
Yin Kuang took out the willow tree demon's wicker and explained the reason. The policeman said: "Shahe Town? Not many people go to that town. I heard that the people there are not normal and are all crazy. There are rumors around that they bury young girls alive and eat human flesh alive. I don't know if it is true or not." Yin Kuang didn't care about this, since the town no longer existed anyway. Originally, Yin Kuang wanted to ask something about the Liusha River Demon, but the catcher knew very little about it, so Yin Kuang could only exchange his contribution and leave. This time, he did not use the 20 points of contribution immediately. He saved it first and planned to visit the government offices in big cities when he had time.
An hour later, Yin Kuang and Tang Rouyu met at the city gate. Yin Kuang asked her, "Have you found out any valuable information?" Tang Rouyu sighed and said, "They are all rumors. But it was about the thunderstorm yesterday. Some people said that it was the gods from the sky who sent down punishment to punish Shahe Town. People. It can be seen that the reputation of Shahe Town is quite bad."
Yin Kuang said: "Then let's rush back."
However, at this moment, a shout suddenly came from behind the two of them.
"The Great Immortal of Huangshan wants to get rid of the river demon. The rest of the people are waiting to retreat quickly to avoid colliding with the Great Immortal's Immortal Chariot."
"That's right! Get rid of the demon! Get out of the way!"
“…”
Yin Kuang and Tang Rouyu were also pushed to the roadside by the surging crowd. Looking up curiously, he saw three people in yellow robes surrounding a yellow-robed Taoist priest, shouting and arrogant, wanting to turn their soles to the sky. Then a group of people gathered around them to join in the fun and help shout. When Yin Kuang and the two saw the Taoist priest carrying a wooden sword and a Bagua mirror, they both looked at him with stern eyes.
It turns out that the "Huangshan Great Immortal" is actually the Taoist priest who "does not want salted fish but gold and silver" who appears in the first scene of the plot.
Tang Rou said: "It's strange. Why didn't I hear about the 'Huangshan Great Immortal' just now?"
And this time, Yin Kuang touched Tang Rouyu lightly, pointed with his finger, and said: "Look..."
Tang Rouyu looked along Yin Kuang's hand, "Is it him!?"
It turns out that the person Yin Kuang was referring to was actually the protagonist of "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons", Chen Xuanzang!
I saw him with messy hair, rags and patched clothes, holding a green bamboo stick in his hand, with a bag sewn from rags tied to the stick. He looked almost like a beggar. Why do you say "almost" instead of "just"? That's because his face is very white, as white as a piece of white jade. With his fair and handsome face, it is really difficult for people to associate him with a beggar.
He had just returned from outside the city, and before he could enter the city, he was blocked by a crowd of people at the city gate. So, like a curious baby, he stood on tiptoes to see what was going on. I found that I couldn't see even if I stood on tiptoes, so I had no choice but to jump up. So it was jumping around like a kangaroo, which looked quite funny. Yin Kuang was even worried that his clothes would be scattered by him like this.
Although it is difficult to admit it to their senses, Yin Kuang and Tang Rouyu have to face the reality that "he is indeed Chen Xuanzang".
The real owner has appeared, and work is about to begin again.
