the same kind of people
Countless thoughts flashed through Gu Jun's ears when he heard the words, and finally decided to pretend to be dumb, and walked towards the street where the two of them walked while leaning on crutches. This is not a risk-free option, but it may be even worse if you are caught up by pursuers.
He followed the two young men and women, walking down one street and then into the other, winding back and forth on the narrow stone paths between these black towers.
The frightened chasing sound became farther and farther away. Gu Jun has been walking and paying attention to his surroundings, there is nothing unusual, and he will not give them a second glance when others pass by. Obviously, he can't act like that in Dilas-Lin. The wind here has a peculiar smell, which is very unpleasant and dangerous.
He was also silently observing these two people, they were both black-haired and fit, the male was older and had a very ordinary appearance, while the female was quite charming.
Why are they helping me? What does "the same kind of people" mean
After walking for a while, they came to the river bank under a stone bridge, where an old small wooden boat that could accommodate four or five people was moored. around.
The man boarded the wooden boat first, picked up the oars and prepared to paddle, and the woman said: "Sir, please get on board."
"Yeah." Gu Jun yelled hoarsely, but still didn't reveal his language, because no matter if it was an earth language or a foreign language, it would explain a lot.
He pointed to his eyeballs, turned them around and asked them, "Who are you?"
"Sir, your eyes are too oppressive..." The woman frowned, "My name is Peacock, and that is Mo Qing."
Gu Jun felt disappointed again. To be able to understand that the surname is either Peacock or Mo and Qing, or it is expressing a thing, like the name of a gem.
Therefore, the names do not reveal their origins. Words can't tell exactly what information, just as he uses the language of eyeballs, maybe it's also a disguise.
"Why did you help me?" He rolled his eyes and asked again, trying to test their meaning.
It was still Peacock who spoke, her expression was very serious, "Sir, you are a practitioner of the "Seven Secrets of the Earth", right? You have that feeling in your nightmare, it is not strong, but we can feel that you have summoned its power."
Oh, Gu Jun's heart moved, "the same kind of people" means that they all practice the "Seven Secrets of the Earth"
He thought for a while, and tentatively said: "I thought it was because we were of the same race."
"That is naturally another reason." Peacock smiled slightly, "Sir, you are very cautious."
Gu Jun glanced at the black towers on both sides of the river. In such a strange and strange place, if he is not careful, he will die a miserable death.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"Leave Dilas-Lin first." Peacock looked at him with a friendly tone: "We don't know what happened to you, sir, but you can no longer stay here. Black merchants will not allow their slaves to escape, which one If the slaves run away, they will unite and arrest them throughout the city, and they will be taken back and directly sealed in wooden boxes to starve to death.”
She looked into the distance in the night, and said, "We are going to Wusha Town. Sir, you can go with us first, and you can leave there by yourself."
Gu Jun thought about it, this group of people are very familiar with this place, if he asks what Wusha Town is, he will expose his ignorance...
"What are you doing there?" he asked.
"Visit Attar, the Great Elder of the Temple of Uzza." Peacock replied, "We have something to ask him."
Peacock didn't say much about what it was. Of course Gu Jun understood that he was guarding against others, and they were also guarding against him. But he asked again: "Where are your companions?"
"They're still busy in Dillas-Lin." Peacock said, "Sir, it's getting late, you decide whether to come with us or not."
"Why do you know that I will run away?" Gu Jun continued to ask, "You seem to be waiting for me there."
"Because we were at the backstage of the theater at that time." Peacock said, "We saw someone screaming and running away, saying that the nightmare man was coming."
Gu Jun recalled that there were quite a few passers-by at that time, and this statement is acceptable, but it is still a question of whether they know that he can talk...
In the end he decided to go on board, because just these two or five people were easier to deal with than the slave buyers.
After he boarded the canoe, the peacock also got on the boat, paddled the canoe together with the silent Mo Qing, and left slowly on the river.
Gu Jun took the opportunity to tidy himself up. His mental erosion rate was 24.78%, which was already in a dangerous situation. Only three of the eight dreams were left, and they were all close to being broken. Those vines seemed to have formed a symbiotic relationship with him, deep into the skin and flesh, and taking out the Kalop instrument would expose itself again, so let's not move them yet.
He slowly took off the white mask, and under the hazy night, the gloomy river reflected black shadows.
He glanced at the river, and saw his own face... what a strange face that is, smallpox is no match, the whole face is covered with scars left after the scabs fell off, densely packed, layer upon layer, all It is still purple... There is a large cut on the left side of the neck, which is particularly terrifying.
The eye sockets of both eyes are still rotten, blood can't flow out, and the eyes of the two eyes are empty, if they are not empty, there will be disaster.
Looking at that weird face, Gu Jun was a little dazed.
Really don't know if I'm now... or not savory...
"Sir, I haven't asked you how to address you yet?" Peacock asked at this time, his tone seemed a little enthusiastic.
"Nightmare Man." Gu Jun gestured with his eyeballs, and put on the white mask again, so let's call this name first.
There is indeed a long distance between Wusha Town and Dilas-Lin. Peacock said that it would take seven days by land and three days by water.
For the past three days, no matter whether he was on the canoe or went ashore to camp and rest, Gu Jun was resting his spirit while being vigilant against the two of them.
During this period, Mo Qing said less than ten sentences, but Peacock talked a lot, but he spoke in a tight manner, making it impossible for him to judge the other party's background.
Gu Jun gradually discovered that Wusa Town seemed to be the place where he was sold to black merchants by his ancestors, because the river turned green and a vast and fertile plain appeared, and those peaceful farmhouses came into view again.
On the morning of the fourth day, they were walking the cobbled lanes of the ancient town. It's all low buildings with pointed roofs, some with protruding floors over the street, and chimney pipes here and there, but more...
After walking for a short distance, Gu Jun noticed that there were large groups of cats. They were all kinds of cats, but they were all fat and shiny, not like stray cats.
The peacock said to him seriously, "Uzzah has a rule not to hurt cats. Cats have a great place here."
Gu Jun couldn't help but think of Wu Shiyu who said that he felt cats from the long knife and long bow...
He did not leave on his own, but continued to follow the two of them to the Temple of Uzzah while supporting himself on crutches.
The temple complex built among the hills is equally simple and unadorned. If it is not a temple, it can be said that it is just a rich man's house. Gu Jun didn't see the statue enshrined here, but there are more cats. On the top of the highest hill in Uzzah, stood a tall circular tower of stone, covered with green vines.
Great Elder Atar was inside the tower, but many local and foreign people came to visit him every day, and a queue was formed at the tower entrance.
While queuing up, the peacock said to Gu Jun again: "The Great Elder Atal is the apprentice of the sage Barse, and he has been taught by Barse. It is said that they once climbed the Khatig-Kola Mountain, and only Atal came back. Yes, he said that Balsa was captured by an unknown force while spying on the gods of the earth."
Gu Jun's complexion suddenly changed, but it was only covered by a mask.
The sage Balse? The old captain of the white boat is really from Ursa Town...
At this moment, he seemed to hear Balsa's maddened shout again:
"I, the sage Balse, use my wisdom to surpass the gods of the earth, and use my will to wipe out the spells and barriers of the gods!"
Did that vision happen when Balse and Attar climbed Khatig-Kola? What is the power to turn this ecstasy into extreme fear
Balsai welcomes people who come to the dream world... Will this Atal know how to leave the dream world
Gu Jun's heart was full of doubts and apprehensions, but also somewhat suppressed expectations. After a long time, it was finally their turn to walk into the tower.
On the first floor of the tower, Atar in robes was sitting on an ivory podium. When his old face saw them, his expression suddenly changed.
Atal lost his former peace, and stood up in awe, trembling, his old face flushed, "The sage Barser predicted this scene... The Ragged One comes with a white mask... Wise Barser ! Three hundred years later, my knowledge is still not as good as his."
