After getting off the boat, Jiang Yi and I went to the Boundary Monument Island. The island was as desolate as ever, but it no longer had the inexplicable air of death that it had when I arrived.
The wind blows, making the entire island of boundary monuments seem a bit desolate. Matching this desolate atmosphere, the boundary monuments standing on the island still exude the vicissitudes of timelessness.
We quickly landed on the island and stood in front of the boundary marker. At this point, the sense of crisis in my heart disappeared, replaced by a numb and indescribable feeling.
I can't describe the feeling, but to make an analogy, it's like a student who didn't do well in the test and had no hope was waiting for the results. His hands and feet were cold and extremely nervous, but when the teacher announced his score, it was a bad score. At this time, he calmed down instead, and what he replaced should be this kind of numb silence.
It's good that the twitching feeling like stomach cramps has also disappeared, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain why he suddenly vomited it in front of Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi wandered around the boundary monument quietly, very quiet, and I was also very quiet, but I was still thinking in my heart, what do I feel like this? It can't be Jiang Yi, right
How could it be Jiang Yi? Although I was wary of him and estranged from him, he and I had never broken up, and we had no conflicts. I even did things for him regardless of life and death, such as Xiaogui Diandian's thing... And my master I still have friendship with him, and just now he guided me to refine my spiritual sense...
I have countless reasons to believe that the danger does not come from Jiang Yi, but these reasons are not enough to make me feel better. My feeling is still the numbness that has been pronounced... .
"This tomb..." Jiang Yi pondered and looked at me.
That is the ferryman's grave, buried at the boundary monument. He said that he would forever guard the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts. But when we were discussing what to say to Jiang Yi, I subconsciously didn't want to tell Jiang Yi everything about the ferryman. One, but if Jiang Yi comes here, he will definitely see the ferryman’s grave. I believe Lu Shan has already told Jiang Yi what we said.
"This tomb is the tomb of the unknown hero. He stayed here for many years and worked hard to break the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts! Fortunately, he got what he wanted." I said it as calmly as possible, and at the same time quietly, Secretly observing Jiang Yi's expression.
This is what we say, an unknown hero with extraordinary skills, a Buddhist! The success of this battle against the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts depends solely on him!
I concealed a lot of details. Ultimately, it was just to conceal the existence of Kunlun Soul, and I didn’t want the Ferryman’s sadness and mistakes to be brought to light. That would be disrespectful to him.
Jiang Yi listened quietly, without any change in his expression, just nodded, and then said: "I didn't expect that under my nose, the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts has become so dangerous, and the crisis in Lake Village has prevented the news from being received in time. Side story, I’m really ashamed. There have been too many chores these years. I think the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts is protected by Lake Village. Not to say it’s foolproof, it’s... "
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart and didn't care what Jiang Yi said. In my heart, he should be like this and care about official matters. This reaction is the best reaction.
While speaking, Jiang Yi suddenly bowed three times to the ferryman's tomb with a complicated expression.
I looked at Jiang Yi. It was indeed very appropriate for him to pay homage to the ferryman, but there was something wrong with his expression? I frowned slightly, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Or was it that Jiang Yi, a person who had been expressionless for a long time, suddenly had an expression, so it looked strange
After paying homage to the ferryman, Jiang Yi came to the boundary monument and asked me to come over, but he did not cross the boundary monument.
I stood a little behind him, not knowing what Jiang Yi was going to do. We were silent for a while, and Jiang Yi suddenly said to me: "Give me a cigarette."
"Ah?" Wasn't he educating me just now that practitioners should not smoke? Why did you suddenly ask me for a cigarette again? But I still subconsciously handed him the cigarette and lighter.
Jiang Yiyi lit up a cigarette and said: "Listening to a hero's story, you need a cigarette to calm down. In fact, it's not that I don't know how to smoke or drink, it's just that I restrain myself, and I don't know if this counts as your master. The true self-discipline in my mouth should be experienced before throwing it away! I have always been a self-disciplined person."
I was silent again. There was nothing wrong with Jiang Yi's words. The only problem was that I was a junior. Why would he suddenly say this to me in his capacity
"Actually, it's not really self-discipline, is it?" Jiang Yi exhaled a puff of smoke, and then said: "In my heart, I still want to smoke very much, but I just force myself not to smoke. The real self-discipline your master said should be in the heart. It’s just that I don’t have any more thoughts. For example, I want to do many things in my heart, but my identity, my goals, and my many, many things don’t allow me to be willful.”
Is he a person who has his hands tied? I suddenly remembered Sister Jenny. She once nodded Jiang Yi’s head and scolded Jiang Yi, calling him a stubborn fool! That's probably what he was scolding, right
Thinking of Sister Jenny, I felt a little relieved for some reason. If Jiang Yi really wanted to do something bad to me, wouldn't she notice it? But peace of mind can't dissipate the feeling in my heart, I am convinced.
"Just stand here and tell me again about your battle in the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts?" Jiang Yi suddenly changed the subject while holding a cigarette.
"Oh." I quickly agreed. I was fed up with this atmosphere. Even though Jiang Yi at this time was more humane and not the superior Jiang Yi, I would rather I was facing a news broadcast. Member Jiang Yi.
According to the right words, I told Jiang Yi everything about the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts again. My speech speed was very slow, because in this, I wanted us to understand every detail of the words, and my subconscious mind I have never relaxed my vigilance. After all, the sense of crisis before was so real. I was afraid that if one detail was not correct, I might be doomed.
Jiang Yi listened to me expressionlessly, without even interjecting or asking questions. He just listened to me quietly. I don't know whether this state is good or bad? Anyway, at the end, I saw Jiang Yi's expression seemed to be in a trance, as if he was in a fugue
Is it my misunderstanding? Finally, after half an hour, I roughly finished talking about what happened here. After going through it in my mind, I found that there should be no loopholes, so I softly called Jiang Yi, who had been silent all this time: "Boss?"
Jiang Yi turned his head slowly, not all at once. It turned out that he seemed to be in a trance, but in fact he had been listening. If he was really in a trance, his movements should be very violent all at once.
"Are you finished?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Yes." I felt uneasy in my heart, but my expression became calmer and calmer. As if to consolidate this calmness, I deliberately made myself look confused and asked Jiang Yi: "What else?"
Under the moonlight, the brightly colored Manzhu and Shahua are even more beautiful, and the wind blows them like flowing blood.
Jiang Yi didn't care about my question, but said: "I didn't expect that in this natural formation, there would be a sea of flowers. It's quite beautiful, but the color is too dazzling and shocking. On the contrary, this It looks better at night.”
According to the explanation I gave Jiang Yi, these flowers are already there. In fact, these flowers were also a mystery in my mind. How did they suddenly appear? It goes against the common sense of the biological world and the plant world. Unfortunately, many things in this world often cannot be investigated to the root cause. It is the same whether it is an ordinary person or a Taoist priest. Once you get to the bottom of it, you will fall into the pain of never getting the answer. Unless you have a way to take a big step forward in your own vision and realm, this is often difficult, just like the gap between ancient people and modern people. You can't explain to him why people thousands of miles apart can call each other. Phone thing.
"Where did you say that Ghost King died in the end?" Jiang Yi suddenly spoke again. Just now he was talking about the scenery, which is now the place where the Lord of Xincheng died. This thought made me think about all the things for a while. Some can't react.
In my description, the Lord of Xincheng became the King of Ghosts. I still need to change and adapt to my lies.
So, I thought about it, pointed to the place where the new city lord died, and said to Jiang Yi, "That's where it is."
I pointed vaguely, Jiang Yi frowned slightly and asked: "Where? In the sky?"
I suddenly wanted to slap myself in the mouth. Wouldn’t that be confusing? How to explain death in heaven? My excuse is that I assisted the unknown hero and used magic to finally destroy the Ghost King. What ability do I have to jump to the sky
Jiang Yi looked at me, and I had no choice but to take a step forward, pointing to the long reef leading to the big island in the moonlight and saying, "That's what I'm referring to. Do you see it clearly?" I said again. He took a step forward and said with an increasingly certain tone: "That's it!"
This is the harm of lies. The more people lie, the more they need to use a lot of body language to affirm their words, so people who dance often appear exaggerated. This is the human subconscious. It is difficult to get rid of it without special training. I Same thing.
I don’t know if I am too exaggerated by exaggerating the way I take two steps forward
Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on my face, but there was no sound from Jiang Yi behind me...
