In the early morning, at the hour closest to sunrise, Hu Jingjing was woken up from a coma by freezing.
She first felt that Li Xixing was still walking, and then felt that her mouth seemed to be full of chewed bitter grass leaves, and then she habitually glanced at the direction of Yinshan, only to feel that the distance between herself and Yinshan was getting farther and farther away.
The direction of Yinshan represents the direction of returning home.
The farther away from Yinshan Mountain, the slimmer the hope of returning to Changling.
She fell silent for a moment.
Li Xixing didn't turn his head to look at her, but said slowly: "Don't spit out the herb in your mouth... Although it's hard to eat, it's very useful for your injuries, and it's hard to find. If you have the strength, you can try to swallow it. "
Hu Jingjing nodded weakly, and swallowed all the bitter herbs in his mouth with difficulty.
Then she slowly raised her head, looked at Li Xixing, and said, "Actually, what you told me before, that you wanted to drag him down with willpower and physical strength, was a lie to me, right?"
Li Xixing still did not turn his head, and said, "Why do you think so?"
"Because you should have understood that there is no way to get rid of the other party. You took me to escape in this wasteland, just looking for these herbs that can keep me alive. You just don't want to make me despair, and you want to see if you can let me live possible." Hu Jingjing said.
Li Xixing was silent for a moment, then said: "Your idea has no basis."
Hu Jingjing laughed weakly, and said, "I have an intuition."
Li Xixing seemed to think her reply was ridiculous, so he didn't respond.
"Don't look for opportunities to leave me alone." Hu Jingjing raised her head higher and said, "As long as you don't look for opportunities to leave me somewhere alone, it means that my idea has no basis."
"Go to hell, let me live this kind of thing, don't think about doing it." After a pause, Hu Jingjing looked at Li Xixing's side face, and said softly seriously: "Otherwise, even if you try to leave me somewhere alone, I will definitely look for you in the future, instead of trying to escape back to Yinshan."
Li Xixing sneered, "Do you really want to die together?"
Hu Jingjing didn't answer, but just grabbed Li Xixing's robe with both hands tighter, and then buried her face deeply in the fur of Li Xixing's robe that smelled of blood.
Li Xixing's body froze slightly.
Hu Jingjing laughed again, and then she said softly seriously: "I heard that you don't have many friends in Changling, so I'll just be your first friend."
"Who said I have no friends in Changling?"
Li Xixing responded coldly this time, "I have many friends in the Minshan Sword Club."
"Oh." Hu Jingjing knew that she was wrong, so she didn't argue, but just smiled and said, "Then I will be your friend just like them."
Li Xixing stopped talking.
He continued to walk through the withered and yellow wasteland, but his body no longer bowed to the ground as before.
His physical strength has also been exhausted, and he can no longer maintain the same speed as before. Most importantly, he faintly feels that some strange changes have taken place in the vitality of heaven and earth in the wasteland. He stands upright and can see farther away clearly.
"what's on your mind?"
The girl’s words will always be more than those of a person like him who stays in the border all year round and is used to loneliness, especially when a girl has a strong affection for a person, it didn’t take long. Hu Jingjing looked at the silent Li Xixing and went on asked.
Li Xixing said: "I'm thinking about what they want to use us for, or what we can be used for."
Hu Jingjing suddenly understood the heaviness in this sentence, was silent for a moment, and said: "This is indeed the first thing to understand."
"My father doesn't care about my life. To him, I'm just an expression of his loyalty to the queen." Li Xixing glanced indifferently at the white belly that was gradually turning up in the sky, and then said: "Even if blood is thicker than water, he really has A little care... Even if he catches me and puts me in front of the battle, he will not change any decision because of me. He may even try to kill me first. So it is completely impossible to use us to change the behavior of some troops .”
Hu Jingjing swallowed with difficulty, the herbs in her mouth had already been swallowed, but now there seemed to be a bitter taste in her mouth. She looked at Li Xixing's side face, and felt more and more sympathy for this miserable young man, thinking that those who were born into a prince's family may not be lucky.
"And we are now getting farther and farther away from the battlefield where the armies are fighting."
"Our cultivation is not high enough, what can we be used for?"
"Even if it is used to feed wolves, it will drive us too far."
Li Xixing said a few words slowly, then couldn't help shaking his head, "I really don't understand what they want to do."
Hu Jingjing thought for a while, then said: "Could it be just intentional..."
She was interrupted by Li Xixing before she finished speaking, "The person who can command the Black King Eagle has a higher status in Wuzhi than ordinary princes."
"If he's here, maybe he can figure out what the other party wants." Li Xixing walked across a meadow again, and then said suddenly.
Hu Jingjing said subconsciously: "The boy from the wine shop?"
Li Xixing smiled, his smile was cold, but with an indescribable pride.
In Changling before, the four characters of wine shop youth seemed to be a derogatory term that despised Ding Ning's background, but now, in all dynasties of the world, it seems to have become the most resounding title.
"He should also come to the battlefield." Hu Jingjing looked at the smile on the corner of his mouth, and was sure that Li Xixing must be talking about Ding Ning, and then she subconsciously said this sentence.
However, it was just her subconscious sentence, but Li Xixing's body froze suddenly, and it was even more rigid than before, so that the footsteps that had never stopped stopped.
Hu Jingjing looked at him in astonishment.
After taking a breath, she came to her senses, "Do you think... it might be because of him?"
Li Xixing's breathing also became a little difficult.
He was silent for a moment, then continued to move, and then said in a slightly cold voice: "I don't hope it's because of him, but now it seems to be the greatest possibility."
Why is this seemingly completely irrelevant person and event the greatest possibility now
Hu Jingjing wanted to say something more, but she opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
Because at this moment, even she sensed that there seemed to be many strange auras in the vitality of the surrounding world.
There is a kind of faint, but it seems to be particularly clear and distant, like the breath of the best weather in autumn, floating in the sky if there is nothing.
Li Xixing didn't even make a sound, and he felt more clearly that this breath, like a monsoon, came from a certain direction.
At this time, a strong curiosity arose in his heart, and he also had a strong premonition.
In silence, his pace began to quicken again.
sunrise.
With the warm sunshine falling down, the frost in the wilderness subsided, and some humidity rose.
Following the clearer and clearer breaths, Li Xixing got farther and farther away from the direction of Yinshan Mountain. The withered yellow grass in the wasteland became taller and thicker, and gradually became like a strong young tree, with a clear crisp sound when broken. ring.
The road became even more desolate. Not only were there no traces of the Wuzhi people's activities, but even the animal tracks and the sounds of insects disappeared. The world was extremely quiet.
Suddenly, Li Xixing stopped.
His pause was so blunt and hasty that Hu Jingjing's body seemed to collide with him.
"What's wrong?"
Hu Jingjing looked forward with some incomprehension.
She didn't find anything unusual, even the sky seemed to be the same.
Li Xixing didn't answer, and only then did she realize that Li Xixing's eyes were on the front of her feet.
Her gaze drooped, and in the next instant, she let out an unbelievable exclamation!
A cry of exclamation resounded in the quiet world.
Then a flock of migratory birds that seemed to be flying from afar and were already very tired were startled.
These migratory birds like white geese flew up with all their strength, but they were still below her sight, and they still didn't fly above her head.
Because what she and Li Xixing were standing in front of was not a flat grassland, but a sunken, deep valley.
The valley is very large, and the slope is very steep, just because there are tall weeds growing, and because of the weird refraction of the water vapor floating above the valley, at this time, the water plants reflected under the water seem to be floating on the water. Similarly, it gives people a strange illusion that the front is flat.
"this… ?"
When Hu Jingjing looked at it carefully, he was even more shocked.
She saw that the bottom of the valley was a whole new world-like basin, dotted with many different colors, rivers, and fields of blooming flowers.
Li Xixing's eyes were fixed on a small rocky mountain in the center of the basin.
"Tianliang Ancestral Mountain..." He took a deep breath and said, "Things in legends actually exist."
