Chapter 46 is not simple (ask for recommendation votes)
Hearing Jiang Baimian's answer, the middle-aged man with long black hair and wearing a loose black robe found a seat by the bonfire and sat down casually, looking very free.
The woman with blonde hair and blue eyes and a gray-blue robe sat down without much concern, as if she was not worried about Shang Jianyao and others harboring ill intentions.
This self-confidence, such an attitude, made Jiang Baimian can't help but laugh:
"We just look so harmless?"
Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao, and Long Yuehong flashed similar thoughts at the same time:
These two people are obviously very confident!
"Isn't this just discovering the ruins of an old world city? Everyone has a head, how can there be time to kill each other?" The middle-aged man stretched out his hands and picked up warmth on the campfire, "What do you call it?"
Jiang Baimian sat back in his original position and replied calmly:
"Jiang Baimian.
"We are from a certain faction and have gone to the Kuronuma Wilderness to complete certain missions."
She took the initiative to reveal her identity, but she didn't fully explain it thoroughly, hoping to make the other party have some scruples, and everyone spent tonight amicably and parted ways.
And the reason why she agreed to the two people on the opposite side to come to the campfire to communicate closely, mainly considering that Shang Jianyao's awakened ability range was limited, and close range was definitely better than long-range.
Even if there is also an awakened person on the opposite side, the key target will definitely only be Jiang Baimian, a person who behaves like a leader, so that Shang Jianyao will have a chance - even if the other party can use a range-based ability similar to "Hungry Ghost Dao", at this distance, Shang Jianyao, who has already been prepared, will have time to complete a counterattack and make corresponding impacts.
"I can see it." The middle-aged man had no doubts about Jiang Baimian's identity, "Whether it is from the appearance, body shape, skin, clothing, or weapons, you don't look like wilderness wanderers, haha, only that little girl, I'm not sure."
He was referring to Bai Chen, who was roasting a rabbit.
Jiang Baimian was about to reply "We are not young anymore", but the middle-aged man continued:
"My name is Du Heng, Mu Tu Du, balanced Heng.
"I am a historical researcher and an antiquarian. I'm ashamed to say, although I have been in the Hunter Guild for more than 20 years, but I have always been a novice, and I have only recently been promoted to official, hey, I haven't received a few commissions, and I have more used their resources and news to complete my own research.
He kept smiling as he spoke, and he seemed very kind.
But his answer made Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others dare not despise it:
An antiquarian and historical researcher who seems to have only a pistol with him dares to wander alone on the gray soil, explore the ruins of the city, and live to middle age - this in itself shows that the other party is definitely not simple.
The blonde woman followed and introduced herself:
"My name is Garolan, a Taoist priest."
Although she can speak gray language, some pronunciations are still a bit strange, which makes Shang Jianyao and others always feel that the style is not too right.
Galoran continued with a light smile:
"I came here because there were many people walking this way, so I followed them to take a look."
"It's really casual......" Jiang Baimian commented unceremoniously.
Galolan responded with a smile:
"Otherwise?
"Since the destruction of the Old World, many people have understood a fact:
"Although we humans claim to be higher creatures, in the face of the world and fate, we are like fallen leaves in the wind......"
As she spoke, she pointed to the sparse trees in the distance:
"I can only dance with the wind and can't decide where I want to fall.
"Since you cannot resist the arrangement of fate, it is better to give up this idea, move with the wind, change your thinking, see all kinds of scenery on the way, look for the existence of the Tao from it, and then use this to distinguish between truth and falsehood, completely get rid of the shackles, and hope for eternal years.
"As the saying goes, people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the heavens follow the way, and the way follows nature."
Seeing such a beautiful blonde woman talking eloquently in front of her, Long Yuehong and the others were a little confused.
They could understand every word of the other party, but the whole made them quite dazed.
In the end, they can only conclude that the other party's style of behavior is:
Go with the flow.
"I probably understand." Jiang Baimian nodded seriously.
Du Heng glanced at Galolan thoughtfully, then pointed at the rabbit and said:
"When I came over just now, I saw two hares. This shows that the prey here is not too scarce, why did you only catch one? So many people ......"
Hearing this question, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong's faces turned red to varying degrees.
Jiang Baimian glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, shook his head with a low smile and said:
"Heaven has the virtue of good life."
Du Heng showed a sudden expression of enlightenment:
"You are a member of the Monk Order? Or was it taught by crystal consciousness?"
"No." Jiang Baimian explained casually, "We just met a mechanical monk from the Monk Order, and we had a little conflict with him, and we had a big fight."
Du Heng's mouth opened slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"Did the monk wear a red robe?"
"Yes." Jiang Baimian did not hide it.
Du Heng and Galoran looked at this four-person team again.
After the former withdrew his gaze, he smiled and said:
"You guys are still quite powerful.
"As far as I know, the probability that those mechanical monks in the monk order who wear red robes are also awakened is not too low."
Galoran nodded in response, saying that he had heard of it too.
"He is." Jiang Baimian affirmed the guess of the two people opposite.
She looked around, didn't let her eyes stay on anyone, and then asked with a smile:
"Two, you seem to have a deep understanding of the Awakened One?"
Since Du Heng said, "Isn't it good to chat", and Galolan advocates going with the flow, she was not polite and began to explore information that was absolutely rare for ordinary people.
If the other party didn't answer, she definitely wouldn't force it, and if she did, she would consider splitting the rabbit legs to go over - anyway, the four of them didn't think about relying on such a small prey to feed themselves, the highlight was energy bars and compressed cookies, and a few more military cans were really not enough.
Du Heng touched the beard on his mouth:
"Oh, this is the test for me."
As he said this, he showed a noticeable smile.
Before the blonde female Taoist priest Galolan spoke, Du Heng added proudly:
"However, I know several awakened people who tell me that the awakened people are also exploring and pursuing new worlds in their hearts, just like everyone on the gray soil is looking for the door to a new world in reality, hoping to no longer be hungry, no longer troubled by disease and aberration.
"Yes, the monk order calls it the 'Pure Land of Bliss.'"
Shang Jianyao listened very seriously and seemed to have some understanding.
At this time, Galolan interjected softly:
"Those mechanical monks in the monk order in red robes have a certain probability of entering the 'Sea of Origin'."
"Yes, yes, the 'Sea of Origin'! They mentioned that term." Du Heng slapped his thigh and said.
Jiang Baimian listened quietly and asked thoughtfully:
"If we cross the 'Sea of Origin', where will we arrive?"
"I don't know." Galoran responded peacefully.
Du Heng smiled and did not answer, but he didn't say he didn't know.
Jiang Baimian thought for two seconds, and then asked:
"Where did you enter the 'Sea of Origin'?"
Galolan looked at the jumping crimson bonfire and said:
"Everyone calls it differently."
At this time, Du Heng smiled and interjected:
"The more recognized is: 'Hall of Stars'."
Shang Jianyao's eyes moved slightly, and his expression did not change significantly.
"That's right." Jiang Baimian nodded slightly and said, "I haven't come into contact with a few awakened people, so I don't know much about them."
After saying that, she didn't give Du Heng and Galolan a chance to speak, and looked sideways at Bai Chen:
"How is the grilling?"
"It's almost over." Bai Chen took back the branch with the rabbit on it.
"I am a guest from afar, so I will give some to the two of them." Jiang Baimian ordered.
Bai Chen knew how rare the information he had just heard was, and he had no resistance at all, so after letting the roast rabbit disperse and get hot, he tore off his two hind legs and handed them to Du Heng and Jia Luolan respectively.
——After wandering in the gray soil for so many years, it was the first time she had heard of terms such as "Sea of Origin" and "Hall of Stars".
Du Heng was not polite, stretched out his hand to take it, grabbed the top of his leg bone, and ate it hot.
"Yes, it's cooked just right......" he vaguely complimented as he ate.
Galolan was much more gentle than him, pinching the protruding bones that were not warm, and bit off the rabbit meat in small bites.
At the same time, Bai Chen divided the remaining roast rabbit into four parts and put them into his lunch box and others.
Shang Jianyao took a bite and felt that the meat was indeed very dry, but while chewing, it felt more fragrant than those meat dishes in the company.
Long Yuehong was responsible for guarding the surroundings, watching anxiously, unable to enjoy it immediately.
After eating the little bit of rabbit meat, Jiang Baimian saw that Du Heng was sucking the remaining aftertaste finger without figuration, and smiled and said:
"Du, sir, didn't you say that you are a historical researcher and are knowledgeable?
"Then what do you know about the newly discovered ruins north of Yuelu Station? Do you know which city it corresponds to in the Old World?"
Du Heng took out a crumpled handkerchief, wiped his hands, and laughed:
"I don't know, a lot of data in the old world was completely lost at the time of its destruction and the chaotic era, including many high-precision maps.
"But I can be sure that the newly discovered urban ruins are definitely abnormal and have great research value."
"Why do you say that?" Jiang Baimian asked on behalf of Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao and others.
Du Heng looked up at the sky to the north:
"When the old world was destroyed, many people survived in the small towns and villages around the city, but no one ever mentioned or tried to explore the ruins of that city. Well, behind is the information sent back by the hunters who found the ruins."
Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen deeply agreed with this point - Tian Erhe in Shuiwei Town was so young that they all ran back to the city to find their parents.
"Such details show that the ruins of that city are definitely not simple." Du Heng gave a conclusion again.
As soon as he finished speaking, a hoarse and desolate roar suddenly came from the distance in the north:
"Whoa!"
In the silent night, it was like a nightmare was coming.
