Rolling mountains, endless forests, and green plains all passed by in a variety of ways, and then were left farther and farther behind. Slowly, the forests became sparser and sparse, the green plains became less and less, and the Gobi and deserts became more and more numerous. On the way here, I could occasionally see a human tribe or village, but later I couldn't see it anymore.
When night fell, the Feitian Princess and her twelve dragonfly female guards stopped in a small oasis in a desert.
Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu also collected Shen Yun and came to the small oasis.
There are many date palms growing in the small oasis, and there is also a small freshwater pool. The water is clear, reflecting the bright moon in the sky, and the night wind creates a pool of silver ripples.
Feitian Princess and the twelve dragonfly female guards chose a place beside the alchemy pond. Some went to fetch water, some picked dates, and some cut grass from the pond to lay a floor for Feitian Princess. It looked like Ready to spend the night here.
Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu chose a place in the date palm forest. There was no need to go to the trouble of cutting grass. Ning Tao used an earth seal to make a stone bed directly from the sand and that was it.
Bi Mingzhu also picked some dates and treated them as dinner tonight.
"These dates are so sweet, I hope you can eat one as a gift." Bi Mingzhu took a date and fed it to Ning Tao's mouth.
Ning Tao ate one and said with a smile, "It's really sweet."
The two of them were eating and chatting.
"We can reach the far north before tomorrow evening. Will that be the end?" Bi Mingzhu asked casually.
Ning Tao spit out the date core in his mouth, looked up at the north, and said after a moment of silence: "I don't know why we came out of the seed space and appeared on that tree, and how the machine was built. And whether we can go back, I want to know.”
“What do you do if the answer isn’t the answer you thought it was?”
Ning Tao thought for a moment and then said: "If the answer is not the answer I want, then I will admit it. If I can't go back, I will stay in this world and live with you and the three of them forever. Isn't that right? fine."
He actually missed his women, Qing Zhui, Bai Jing, Jiang Hao, Tang Zixian...
And his children and grandchildren, even if he couldn't name them, he began to miss them. This feeling of homesickness becomes stronger the longer I leave.
In the final analysis, he is a human being, and he is Chinese, and going home is an obsession that is woven into the blood of the Chinese.
"You said, is the world we dominate really a virtual world?"
Ning Tao smiled bitterly: "I don't know either. I hope this time I can clear up the confusion in my heart."
"Climb the ladder to heaven and unlock the secrets of heaven. What if you start a new journey like that again?" Bi Mingzhu looked at Ning Tao, her eyes shining with the luster of pearls.
Ning Tao shrugged: "I also want to know the answers to these questions you asked. What happened to you tonight? Why do you have so many questions?"
Bi Mingzhu said: "You are my man. If I have questions, I won't ask you. Who should I ask? Should I ask that stone spirit over there?"
Ning Tao glanced at the camp where Feitian Princess and the twelve dragonfly female guards were, but found a bonfire rising there, and the dragonfly female guards were singing. He chuckled: "They thought this was... Going on vacation? I'm going to the far north tomorrow. I really don't know where it is.
What will happen? I don’t know if they can go back alive. "
Bi Mingzhu said: "The stone spirit took them with her, but she never thought about asking them to go back."
"She said that she took me to the far north in compliance with destiny. Do you think what she said is true?" Ning Tao asked.
Bi Mingzhu smiled and said: "I only know that she will not find you for no reason."
Ning Tao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, saying this was as if he had not said it yet.
At this moment, a crow perched on a date palm tree, staring down at Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu.
Ning Tao turned his eyes and looked at the crow, feeling a little curious. How could there be a crow in the desert? In a flash of thought, he thought of the mutated parrot possessed by the bamboo slip weapon spirit, and then he asked, "It's you again, what are you doing here?"
Bi Mingzhu also discovered the crow and asked curiously: "Is it the weapon spirit of the bamboo slip you mentioned?"
Ning Tao also told her about the bamboo slips of the God's Tomb. She was just thinking about talking to Ning Tao about it, but Ning Tao spoke to a crow, and she naturally thought of the artifact spirit. .
The crow said nothing.
Looks like an ordinary crow.
But Ning Tao felt a sense of crisis inexplicably in his heart, and he said again: "Stop pretending, I know it's you, what are you doing here?"
"Quack." The crow cried out, and suddenly a human word came out of its mouth, "Do you know why I fell in love with a crow? Because the crow announces mourning but not good news, you are dead this time, your Those methods are useless."
"It's really it." Bi Mingzhu smiled, held up an angustifolia, and said with a smile: "I heard Laosong talk about you. Come here, and I'll treat you to an anatomy."
A soft hum came from the crow's mouth: "I'll treat you to a banana."
If a man had said this to Bi Mingzhu, Ning Tao would have taken action at this moment, but the person who said this was a crow, and he couldn't get angry with a bird.
But Bi Mingzhu didn't care at all, and still had a smile on her face: "You are talking about bananas. I only recognize the brand Laosong, and I only eat the bananas he gave me. But you, do you have any bananas?"
Ning Tao: "..."
"Huh! It's indeed the same thing!" the crow spat.
"If you don't want to eat this Elaeagnus, I will eat it. It's sweet." Bi Mingzhu put the Elaeagnus into her mouth.
Ning Tao said: "Didn't you say you were waiting for me in the far north? What are you doing here? You can't wait to see me?"
Crow said: "I can't wait to see you? Haha, you are really pretentious. Let me tell you, I can't wait for you to die!"
Ning Tao smiled: "I understand, you came to disgust me on purpose, didn't you? Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you would still be sealed in that coffin. Now you regard me as your enemy, which is a bit unjustifiable. ”
"I don't owe you any favors. I'll pay you back what I owe you." Crow said.
"What do you want in return?"
"The woman over there is not a good thing. She didn't take you there to climb the ladder to open up secrets. She wanted you to die." Crow said.
Ning Tao couldn't help but take a look at Princess Feitian's camp. The bonfire was burning brightly, and several female dragonfly guards were dancing around the bonfire. The singing was carried by the night wind, which was quite cheerful. After taking a look, he withdrew his gaze and asked, "How do I know you didn't deliberately provoke me?"
Divorce? "
"Believe it or not, I'll tell you this." Crow said.
This bad temper gave Ning Tao a strange feeling, that is, this guy was a darkened version of Zhong Er, or an upgraded version.
"What are you talking about? My husband is the Lord of the Three Realms." Bi Mingzhu said.
Crow snorted coldly: "That's also the stupid Lord of the Three Realms."
Bi Mingzhu spat out the date pits in her mouth. She originally wanted to use the date pits to hit the foul-mouthed crow, but in the end she did not take action. She and Ning Tao actually had the same idea, so there was no need to argue with a crow. Moreover, it is very likely that this weapon spirit knows something and is now irrational.
"Also, this is already the boundary of the Far North. It is not safe here. You'd better leave here as soon as possible." Crow said.
It curses you in the first sentence, but reminds you in the second sentence. You really can't be angry with it.
Ning Tao said: "Can't you explain in more detail why Princess Feitian wants to harm me and how she wants to harm me?"
"You will see me when you arrive at the Burial God Mountain. If you die on the road, just pretend that I didn't say anything and leave it at that." After saying that, the crow fluttered its wings and flew up. It was originally dark, and it was in the dark night. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the night.
Bi Mingzhu said: "That guy is really a foul-mouthed crow. It's inexplicable."
Ning Tao said: "No matter what it says is true or false, we must beware of that stone spirit."
Bi Mingzhu nodded: "You don't need to tell me this, I have never believed her at all. She'd better not have any crooked thoughts, or I'll be the first to kill her."
Ning Tao turned his eyes to Princess Feitian's camp. At this time, a female dragonfly guard jumped up and flew towards this side. She was close in the blink of an eye.
Ning Tao lowered his voice and said, "It won't happen anymore."
Bi Mingzhu nodded again.
The dragonfly female guard came down and said politely: "My princess invites you two to come over to have something to eat and chat."
Ning Tao said: "You go there first, we will come later."
"Okay, I'll go back to the princess right now." The female dragonfly guard jumped lightly, spread her wings, and flew back.
Ning Tao said: "Let's go over and hear what she wants to talk about."
Bi Mingzhu reminded: "Be careful when you carry the broken stone with you, so that she doesn't see it."
"I hid it in the waistband of my pants so she couldn't see it," Ning Tao said.
Bi Mingzhu said: "That's what I'm worried about. What if she takes off your pants?"
Ning Tao: "..."
The couple left the date palm forest and walked towards the Feitian Princess' camp. The moonlight cast their figures in the water, making them very clear.
After walking a few steps, Ning Tao suddenly stopped and said curiously: "We have reached the boundary of the Far North. It should be very cold. Not to mention there is no ice and snow. There are actually coconuts in this desert." Zao, the water in this pool is also very hot, don’t you think it’s strange?”
Bi Mingzhu said: "It's very strange. If it hadn't been for that... well, we might have talked about this matter."
Ning Tao said: "Let's go there first, and I will use my spiritual thoughts to explore the ground later."
Bi Mingzhu nodded, reached out and took Ning Tao's arm, and then walked with him towards Feitian Princess' camp.
