The night has completely fallen, the sky is bottomless, and it is another gloomy night with dark moon and high wind.
A thick cloud floated across the sky.
At this time, the sky was as dark as ink, and the clouds in the sky were all blue.
Only this cloud is not only broad and thick, like a round cake, but also shining brightly.
I saw a huge round lamp standing in the forefront of the cloud. The light shone and turned into a beam of light that kept rotating, sweeping the surroundings at 360 degrees.
Behind the light, the clouds looked like a large flat plate, containing many things, and the variety was extremely rich - there was a pavilion, a pink wall with a moon door, and a spiral staircase. There are three large willow trees, two banana pillars, three or four peony branches... There is a large water tank, two plum vases, three or four small urns...
There are also many piles of sundries and daily necessities, making it dazzling...
Tang Zhao was sitting in the middle of the pavilion surrounded by debris, carefully examining a fan. He scratched the fan with his fingers, as if he wanted to make a hole and pull out a thread.
"Kacha——"
The sound of the shortbread being bitten came out, and the aroma of onions and lard inside burst out, and the aroma in the air became stronger.
"You're really good at it." Tang Zhao raised his eyes and glanced at Yue Lai, who was stuffing pancakes next to him. "You really don't care about anything and just stuff stuff. You have such a good appetite? What's your number?"
"I forgot." Yue Lai took the last two bites and said, "Do you have a towel?"
Tang Zhao took out a towel from the jar and gave it to him, saying, "Want to wipe your hands? Have you finally finished eating?"
Yue Lai wiped his hands with a towel, but did not wipe his mouth, and said: "It's almost the same. Just drink more soup and soak it up."
Tang Zhao closed his fan, showed an interested smile, and said: "Okay, he is calm in the face of big events. He is a man. It's about the style of the second master who warms wine and kills Hua Xiong."
Yue Lai asked, "What to kill?"
Tang Zhao said: "Kill the enemy. The enemy's name is not important."
Yue Lai filled the soup, drank it all and said, "It really doesn't matter. You and I both know who the enemy is. Thank you for your hospitality, I will take off his head for you later."
Tang Zhao laughed and said: "Don't do this, don't put this hat on me, I can kill him or not, but you want to kill him quickly, you are already mad with hatred, right? I just want you to eat calmly." He is not suspicious when buying my things, he is an open-minded person, and he is somewhat appreciative. In this way, I can still afford to eat and drink when I need them."
Yue Lai suddenly sighed and said: "It's not that I don't doubt you. I wanted to refuse just now, but in order to be prepared for Meng Huazhou, I hadn't eaten properly for three days, so I couldn't help but eat you anyway. If you want to harm me, I've already taken advantage of it. If you eat one piece, you'll eat it, if you eat a bunch of it, you'll eat it. I have to eat as much as I can."
Tang Zhao laughed. He and Yue had not talked alone before coming. He did not know how to ignore his obsession with the Meng family and his son. He was quite straightforward and said, "So, is it because I haven't slept well these past few days to guard against Meng Huazhou?" ?Why don’t you just take a rest here?”
Yue Lai said: "Oh? Is there still some time before we arrive at Fairy City that we can sleep? That's great. I'll sleep for a while and call me when we get there."
Tang Zhao looked at him with interest and said: "We have all gone in when we get to the place, who still remembers to call you?"
Yue Lai said: "If this is the case, you will have to come and get his head. I will eat you for free, how embarrassing is that?"
Tang Zhao asked directly: "It seems... you are really not interested in Fairy City?"
Yue Lai asked back: "Why should I be interested? If I am interested in something that has nothing to do with me, do I still have time to do other things? If there was no chance in Wuxian Town, everyone would have been saved if I killed Meng Huazhou. Let’s take this trip.”
Tang Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, speculating more and more about Yue Lai's origin.
If he really doesn't yearn for the fairy city, besides not having the curiosity of ordinary people, he should have the confidence to surpass ordinary people, right?
Because we are rich, we have no desires?
Where did he come from?
Tang Zhao was about to speak when he heard Black Widow say from the front: "Something is floating over again."
Tang Zhao stood up slowly.
He no longer had the excitement he had at the beginning.
Since they met the pavilion, they have obviously reached the edge of the fairy city. As we drifted forward, we came closer to the ruins of the legendary battle, encountering several pavilion-like cloud fragments along the way.
The fragments vary in size, but the largest one is not even as big as the cloud in the pavilion. There are scattered buildings and ruins on the big ones, and most of the small ones only have vegetation, utensils, sundries and the like. Scattered and unsystematic.
Tang Zhao was quite excited at first. He would quickly fish out anything he saw. Even if he came across a handful of grass, he would pick it up and examine it carefully. But every time, he just looked at it in vain and could not see any clues.
Later, more and more debris came floating around, and he got tired of looking at it. Even if it wasn't big things, he was too lazy to fish them out. Moreover, those debris with traces of life drifting randomly reminded Tang Zhao of shipwrecks at sea.
After a large ship sank, scattered pieces of the hull, masts, and decks would drift with the waves and be picked up on the beach, leading people to wonder how tragic the shipwreck was.
Tang Zhao just didn't like those tragic stories. Looking at the fragments, he gradually felt pity in his heart and his interest waned.
But the black widow over there is still very interested. This has been her dream for so many years. She is very excited when she sees the clues. How can she get tired of it after a few hours? She stood in front of the light and looked around, staring at every cloud passing by with her eyes wide open. When she saw any clues, she called Tang Zhao to go over and fish for them. Unknowingly, she had accumulated so many things.
Although he was a little lazy, Tang Zhao still picked up the net next to him when Black Widow called him.
His net was extremely light and soft. When rolled up and put aside, it was not as big as the folding fan in his hand. When spread out, it was enough to catch a "white whale boat", which he had woven from silk threads.
In other words, Bai Hu guided him to make it up.
Under its guidance, Tang Zhao disassembled several tiles into several long pieces of silk thread, then twisted the silk threads together and formed a fishing net to catch the debris in the air.
When Tang Zhao was making a net, he suddenly had a feeling: Although he hadn't gone to the fairy city yet, he had already begun to learn to work in the fairy city.
"There, there! Do you see..."
Black Widow stood in front of the lamp, pointed at a cloud head and said to Tang Zhao.
Tang Zhao looked carefully and saw something on a small piece of cloud, which looked like a square corner. It was difficult to see in the night, so even with a light it was difficult to see clearly what it was.
But whatever it is, it must be man-made. Whenever there are artificial traces on the clouds, it is said that it is almost like a fairy city.
"suddenly--"
Tang Zhao was now proficient in the process, found the right angle, gently threw the net, and covered the entire cloud together. Then pull back with your hand.
While pulling, Tang Zhao suddenly felt a little heavy.
It's not that the thing itself is heavy, but that the previous fragments of the fairy city are very light. When you pull them, it's no different from pulling on the clouds. The net almost only has the function of limiting the direction, just giving them a direction to bear force. Once pulled, It just floated over by itself.
But this time he pulled, and he felt the weight. It was like catching a big fish from the sea. Not only was the fish's body heavy, but he could also feel the fish resisting.
Of course, the resistance was not that great, but Tang Zhao clearly felt this unsmoothness. Although it was the first time he encountered this situation, he had already had a thought: Did he get the real thing? !
Real stuff, real-world stuff. It's not those "imitation bodies" made up by Yun Si.
"Eh... that's..." Black Widow was watching from the side, and her expression changed first:
"coffin?!"
The clouds were getting closer and closer, and Tang Zhao could see them clearly.
On the clouds, there was a black wooden coffin that was as long as one person, and a layer of mist seemed to be covering the coffin. At night, the mist and clouds almost merge into one. Only by looking closely can you see clearly that clouds are clouds and fog is fog. They are two distinct entities.
Tang Zhao felt something in his heart. It was unusual to see a coffin floating in the sky at such a night. There was also a strange feeling just now in terms of weight, and although the layer of fog on the coffin looked thinner than clouds and appeared to be transparent, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be pure black. It was just stretched so thin that it almost lost its color.
】
The coffin, the heaviness, the black mist, all the elements were superimposed together, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart. Instead of pulling the other fragments directly to his cloud, he stopped for a distance and only tied the net to the lamp. Let it touch its own clouds.
He turned to Black Widow and said, "Sister Yin, please step back for a moment while I check."
Black Widow nodded and slowly retreated to the center.
Tang Zhao waved his hand gently, as if asking her to move away, but it was like a white fox waving.
The white fox was lying under the banana tree. When he saw the coffin, he shouted: "This is it!"
Tang Zhao asked: "What?"
Bai Hu pointed at the coffin and said: "The black smoke was that disaster. At that time, the black shadow was floating quickly, and it would wrap around whatever it floated on. After wrapping around, it would pull everything into the clouds and keep falling. Fall. The eldest sister said that if you fall, you will fall into the black world and become a part of the black world forever. Later, His Highness used a sword to create a bottomless abyss and forcibly separated our bodies. But we will stay in it forever. Under that abyss."
What it said was a bit confusing, and Tang Zhao didn't quite understand it, but he always felt...
Feeling familiar?
But it was difficult to find the feeling deep in the memory for a while. He asked again: "What is that coffin?"
Bai Hu said: "What coffin? Look carefully, it's just a hut. That's our shelter. Because Your Highness has no spare capacity, everyone's shelter can only be built that big. Lying here can isolate the outside. Disaster, our brothers and sisters should be lying here, right?"
Tang Zhao didn't expect that there might be a living person inside, so he asked, "Do you want to open it?"
Bai Hu said: "Of course, I wonder if he is still alive? But the smoke must be driven away. If it is just this amount, I can try. You come and help me."
