The old man's gaze towards the blond young man changed from clear and bright to a little confused.
"Who are you?"
The young man's voice sounded in the old man's sea of consciousness. His voice was dry and without any emotional content.
The old man replied doubtfully and sincerely:
"I am the servant of God, the servant of God. Who are you?"
"I am Harile, you can call me Myrobalan."
"That should not be the name of a dervish."
"Yes, but I am Harile, you can call me Myrobalan."
"Okay, kid, since the Lord of God has allowed you to enter his great temple, you must at least show your worship to the Lord of God. What are you doing here?"
"I don't know. I walked a long way but didn't find what I needed."
"So what are you looking for?"
Myrobalan lowered his head and thought for a long time. He then looked up at the divine attendant with a helpless expression:
"I'm looking for some people, and I don't know about others."
"A few people? A lot of people?"
"have no idea."
The old man lowered his eyes and shook his head slightly:
"If you don't know anything, then go to the God Lord Plateau, head north, all the way north... I hope you can find the answer in the arms of the God Lord."
"What's on the Shendu Plateau?"
"There are ascetics, and you are the ascetic now."
"Am I an ascetic?"
Myrobalan raised his head and looked at the strange badge composed of three circles and crosses in the sky above his head in confusion.
Then, he bowed to the god and drew an invisible triangle on the upper, left and right sides of his chest with his hands:
"Thank you for your guidance!"
Myrobalan turned around, walked out of the temple, and without looking back, slowly walked into the bustling street with people coming and going.
When he passed by a noodle shop, he saw stacks of huge wheat cakes neatly placed on the stall outside the store. The browned wheat cakes were exuding a rich aroma of wheat.
Myrobalan stopped.
The slightly fat shopkeeper came out. His skin color showed that he was from a low level of origin, and he had a growth on his head, which made him look quite big.
Myrobalan did not seek alms, but just looked at the wheat cakes in trance.
The stall owner did not speak, but humbly put a large pile of wheat cakes into a cloth bag and presented his hands in front of the myrobalan.
Myrobalan seemed a little hesitant, but he still took the bag, carried it on his back, and performed the trigonometric ritual of a god or bishop to the shopkeeper.
The shop owner was so flattered that he knelt down, knelt down with his head on the ground, and buried his face in the dust, not daring to look up.
Myrobalan turned around and walked towards the north.
He followed the twists and turns of the street, but his general direction did not change, until he reached the edge of the wide and boundless Soul River.
The endless river of souls, the river flowing eastward forever, is rolling with waves, carrying all kinds of garbage, dead bodies and excrement.
Myrobalan looks north.
On the northern skyline, a silver-white outline of snow-capped mountains separates the blue sky and the earth.
Myrobalan did not stop and walked into the Soul River.
His bare feet did not sink into the river, and he walked towards the north as if walking on flat ground.
He didn't notice that many Pat citizens were already kneeling and worshiping beside the Soul River behind him.
According to legend, the messenger of the God Lord will walk on the waves of the Soul River.
…
The second underground floor in Iasi County.
Wei Ling was accompanying Nan Xing and Shangluhao Nu, explaining to them the original spells he understood.
Now Ji Nu is already a junior warlock. Although his mental power is very limited and he cannot cast spells a few times, he already has the basic ability to cast spells.
She naturally has her own understanding of how to activate a warlock's abilities.
Nanxing and Shanglu were just like when Xie Wuyi and Li Lingyou explained the technique to them, they still didn't understand it and could only let Ji Nuqian worry.
Wei Ling also knew there was no need to rush and comforted them:
"Slave, don't be anxious, take your time, you are all still young. In fact, my experience is to train your mental strength first. Only when your mental strength is enough, can you control the corresponding energy.
Tomorrow we will go out for a day out of the city, and the day after tomorrow you and I, the palace guard sisters, will set off again. "
The three children immediately looked reluctant to leave.
"Don't worry, this time the county has made more arrangements for your safety. Lord Qinghui will keep an eye on you."
"Well, brother, don't worry, I'm a little warlock now, and I can also protect these two little brothers."
Ji Nu added his opinion.
After becoming a warlock, she felt that her judgment, concentration and courage had changed a lot.
Nanxing and Shanglu were ashamed.
Shou Gong smiled and patted Nan Xing on the head:
"It is normal to hear things first and first. Don't be discouraged by temporary setbacks."
"Well, Sister Shugong, we all know."
The next day, Welling took the three of them up to the ground floor and went to the east of the county to play.
There is also a large amount of land being cultivated in the east of Yasi County, mainly for various vegetables. It is the "vegetable basket" of the county. There are a large number of three-tiered natural people involved in planting and management in various greenhouses here.
Wei Ling took Nan Xing and the others to the greenhouse to pick strawberries, go fishing in the fish pond, go to the orchard to climb trees and pick fresh fruits, go to the dairy farm to participate in manual milking, and go to the processing factory to see grain turned into rice noodles, and various meats mixed with vegetables to produce energy foods. of the assembly line.
They also systematically understood various aspects of knowledge such as drip irrigation systems, organic fertilizer circulation systems, seedling cultivation, and category optimization and improvement of various greenhouses, and reflected the knowledge instilled in the school with on-site practical activities.
The day's itinerary was very tight. The three of them had never experienced these agricultural activities before. They found it very interesting and did not return to their residence until night.
August 1, 111 AD.
Welling and Shou Gong set off again, heading north.
Originally, Wei Ling wanted to get up early and set off quietly without disturbing Nan Xing and the others.
As a result, when I got up, I found that they had all gotten up, looking at Wei Ling and Shou Gong eagerly, reluctant to say goodbye.
It wasn't until Welling knelt down and said goodbye to each of them alone that they waved sadly.
"Sir, these three children are so clingy to you. If you don't know, they would think they are your biological brothers and sisters."
The gecko snickered.
"Well, yes, it's mainly emotional needs. Don't you think that once we leave, they will be like... the left-behind children of the old days?"
"Yes, yes, it feels like there are no parents at home."
"Loneliness and loneliness are something that everyone has to face after all..."
Willing sighed.
"Yes, young master, you don't know that in those years, I have experienced enough loneliness and loneliness in this world.
Therefore, no matter what happens in the future, I will not be alone. I will stay with you until this intelligent body decays and until my wisdom is annihilated..."
"Silly girl, what are you talking about?"
Welling smiled and shook his head:
"Isn't there still the legendary Tianji Chun? If we set a goal that is so ambitious that it is almost impossible to achieve, then we will not be lonely, because we are always on the way to the goal."
"Haha, Young Master is so optimistic!"
It's still the "blue bird", facing the rising sun and flying towards the north.
The state of Kerala we went to this time was even more remote than Bohu County.
Based on the fact that Li Lingyou and his group's Western Expeditionary Army had encountered small-scale attacks in Kara State, Welling also strengthened the preparations for the weapons in his vehicles.
The more important thing is to reserve energy. After all, if you are going to a country in the Xixuan Federation, energy supplies may not be as convenient as within the empire. Various weapons and vehicle energy boxes are prepared to meet the needs of a small team.
As the investigator of special events in Iasi County, it is not a luxury to be equipped with such a small and medium-sized vehicle, but the energy and weapons cannot be simplified, otherwise Qinghui feels that it is not safe enough.
The gecko's driving ability is naturally beyond that of normal people, and the vehicle flies quickly and steadily.
By the time night fell, they had already crossed the vast green mountains, flown over the withered Gobi Desert, and looked at the majestic snow-capped mountains on the northwest skyline shining brilliantly in the sunset.
Passing by the "Yunlei Mountain" where Yuanbao is located, this time Wei Ling went around according to the route and stopped disturbing Yuanbao.
It would be impossible for it to fully understand and integrate those massive amounts of knowledge in just a few years, no matter how smart it is.
The normal voyage should have stopped in Bohu County to replenish energy, but Welling gave up. Because the vehicle had few crew members and sufficient reserve energy, they flew directly northwest.
Seeing dusk fall, Wei Ling asked the guardian to stop the vehicle at a selected location and continue tomorrow.
Although the body of the ghost and god does not know fatigue, Wei Ling feels that the spirit of the guardian will still be tired.
The palace guard could appreciate Wei Ling's good intentions, so he naturally carried out his instructions.
The area below is a hilly semi-plateau.
Endless Gobi, vast deserts, tall snow-capped mountains, several rivers meandering toward the northwest, and many oases with lush plants are scattered throughout this vast area.
The bluebird berth chosen by the gecko is on the edge of a small river, surrounded by tall Populus euphratica forests and the open Gobi Desert.
Stepping out of the vehicle, Welling saw the afterglow of the setting sun in the west. The sky above his head was filled with bright stars, and a faint crescent moon appeared in the eastern sky.
This colorful landscape of the sun, moon and stars shining together is pleasing to the eye.
Although the altitude of this semi-plateau area is definitely not high, the wind blowing in the dusk is still a bit cool.
Holding the huge "gonggong golden knife", the guard casually chopped down a few half-dry and half-robust Populus euphratica trees by the river, easily chopped them into small sections, divided them into pieces, piled them aside, surrounded them with a few pebbles, and threw them away. A few sticks of wood mixed with some loose hay.
Welling gently snapped his fingers:
"Bang!"
A small fireball flew into the circle of pebbles and ignited the dry grass.
The jumping orange bonfire immediately exuded warmth, reflecting on the beautiful face of the gecko.
Welling did not sit down immediately, but looked around and looked at the river flowing nearby.
In a bend in the creek, many plump cold-water fish were swimming leisurely.
With a thought, several ice arrows appeared out of thin air from the river, stabbing at the swimming fish.
The swimming fish was shot by the ice arrow, brought out of the water, and flew directly to Welling.
Welling stretched out his hand and caught two big fish.
There were two more fish, flying towards the gecko sitting by the campfire.
The guard took a wooden stick, tore it with both hands, and pulled out two thin wooden sticks. With a wave of his hand, he had already threaded the flying fish on the wooden sticks:
"Haha, your fishing skills are so great!"
"Hey, girl, good work!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Wei Ling also sat next to the fire, with silver light shining between his fingers. Inexplicably, there was a willow leaf-like knife in his hand. It was extremely sharp. He cut open the belly of the fish and picked it with his fingers. The internal organs of the big fish flew out immediately, but He was taken away by several inexplicable water arrows and returned to the river.
Shou Gong was not far behind either. She held the wooden stick for piercing the fish in front of her face. Her other index finger suddenly turned into a sharp knife. She also cut out the belly of the fish like Welling, but she did not have the ability of a warlock to remove the internal organs out of thin air. .
Water arrows flew past, taking away the fish's internal organs.
Wei Ling also pulled out a few wooden sticks, put on the prepared rain, and handed it to the guard.
After a while, several fish in the gecko's hands had become crispy and tender under the bonfire. With the spices and condiments she had prepared, the fragrant smell spread all around.
"It's so comfortable! Young Master, this is not about investigating an incident. This is simply the happiest trip!"
The gecko pulled off the grilled fish and was very satisfied with it, his face full of happiness.
"Ha, there is an old saying in the old days, knowing how to live and entertain, and not delaying both, is the best state."
Shou Gong responded with a smile:
"Yes, I have also heard that it is a combination of men and women, so the work is not tiring."
Wei Ling didn't dare to respond and dealt with the grilled fish in his hands seriously.
After eating the grilled fish, night has enveloped the earth, the sky is filled with stars, the night wind sweeps through the valley, and the bonfire falls with the wind, making the faces of the two people next to the fire change with warmth.
Shou Gong looked at Wei Ling steadily, making Wei Ling feel a little uncomfortable.
With a chuckle, the guard threw the bag over:
"Sir, you go and rest in the vehicle. I'll sit outside for a while."
"Okay, go to bed early."
