Chapter 46 Not Simple

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, sat down casually, and looked very free and easy.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed woman in the gray-blue robe sat down along with her, as if she wasn't worried about Shang Jianyao and others harboring evil intentions.

This confidence, such an attitude, made Jiang Baimian couldn't help laughing:

"Do we look so harmless?"

Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong had similar thoughts at the same time:

These two are obviously very confident!

"Isn't this the ruins of an old world city just discovered? Everyone has their heads full, so how can they have time to kill each other?" The middle-aged man stretched out his hands and warmed up on the bonfire. "What do you call it?"

Jiang Baimian sat back to his original position, and replied frankly:

"Jiang Baimian.

"We come from a certain force and went to the Black Marsh Wilderness to complete certain tasks."

She took the initiative to reveal her identity, but she didn't fully explain it, hoping to make the other party have some scruples, and everyone passed the night peacefully and parted ways.

And the reason why she agreed with the two people on the opposite side to come to the bonfire to communicate nearby was mainly because Shang Jianyao's awakened person's ability range is limited, and close distance is definitely better than long distance.

Even if there are also awakened people on the opposite side, the key target will definitely only be Jiang Baimian, who behaves like a leader. In this way, Shang Jianyao will have a chance—even if the opponent can use something like "Hungry Ghost Way" Range-type ability, at this distance, Shang Jianyao, who had already been prepared, had time to complete a counterattack and make a corresponding impact.

"It can be seen." The middle-aged man had no doubts about Jiang Baimian's voluntary disclosure, "No matter in terms of appearance, body shape, skin, clothes, and weapons, you don't look like wanderers in the wilderness, haha, Only the little girl makes me not sure."

He was referring to Bai Chen who was roasting rabbits.

Jiang Baimian was about to reply, "We are not young anymore", when the middle-aged man continued:

"My name is Du Heng, Mu Tu Du, Balanced Heng.

"I am a history researcher and an antiquities scholar. I am ashamed to say that although I have joined the Hunter Guild for more than 20 years, I have always been a novice before. I mostly use their resources and news to complete my own research, no, a ruin of an old world city that has never been explored has been discovered, and I am here."

He kept smiling when he spoke, and seemed very kind.

But his answer made Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others dare not take it lightly:

An antiquities scholar and historical researcher who seemed to be carrying only a pistol dared to wander alone on the dusty soil, explore the ruins of the city, and live to middle age-this in itself shows that the other party must not be simple.

The blond woman then introduced herself:

"My name is Galoran, a Taoist priest."

Although she can speak Gray Earth, some pronunciations are still a bit weird, which makes Shang Jianyao and others feel that the style is not quite right.

Galoran smiled lightly and continued:

"I came here because there are a lot of people walking this way, so I followed to have a look."

"It's so casual..." Jiang Baimian commented unceremoniously.

Galoran responded with an undiminished smile:

"if not?

"Since the destruction of the old world, many people have understood a fact:

"Although we human beings claim to be advanced creatures, in front of the world and destiny, we are like fallen leaves in a strong wind..."

While speaking, she pointed to the sparse trees in the distance:

"You can only dance with the wind, you can't decide where you will fall.

"Since you can't resist the arrangement of fate, it's better to give up this idea, move with the wind, change your thinking, see the various scenery on the way, find the existence of Tao from it, and then use this to distinguish the truth from the false, and completely get rid of the shackles , in the hope of eternity.

"As the saying goes, people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."

Seeing such a beautiful blonde woman talking in front of him, Long Yuehong and the others were a little confused.

They could understand every word the other party said, but they were quite at a loss when they were connected as a whole.

In the end, they can only conclude that the other party's behavior style is:

Go with the flow.

"I probably understand." Jiang Baimian nodded seriously.

Du Heng glanced at Galoran thoughtfully, then pointed at the rabbit and said:

"When I came here just now, I saw two wild rabbits. This means that the prey here is not too scarce. Why did you only catch one? There are so many people..."

Hearing this question, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong blushed to varying degrees.

Jiang Baimian sized them up from the corner of his eye, shook his head with a low smile and said:

"God has the virtue of good life."

Du Heng showed a suddenly realized expression:

"Are you members of the monk order? Or are you taught by the crystal consciousness?"

"No." Jiang Baimian explained casually, "We just met a mechanical monk from the monk order, and we had some conflicts with him, and we had a big fight."

Du Heng opened his mouth slightly, thought for a while and said:

"Is that monk wearing a red cassock?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian didn't hide anything.

Du Heng and Galoran looked at the four-person team again.

After the former retracted his gaze, he smiled and said:

"You're still pretty good.

"As far as I know, the chances of those mechanical monks wearing red cassocks in the monk order are also awakened are not too low."

Galoran nodded, indicating that he had heard the same thing.

"He is." Jiang Baimian confirmed the speculation of the two people opposite him.

She looked around without letting her eyes rest on anyone, and then asked with a smile:

"You two, you seem to have a deep understanding of the awakened?"

Since Du Heng said, "Wouldn't it be nice to have a chat?", and Galoran advocated going with the situation, she was not polite, and began to search for information that was absolutely rare for ordinary people.

If the other party doesn't answer, she certainly won't force it. If she answers, she will consider splitting the rabbit's legs to go there - anyway, the four of them have never thought of living on such a small prey. The highlight is energy bars and compressed biscuits. No way, add a few more military cans.

Du Heng touched the beard around his mouth:

"Oh, this is the test for me."

As he said this, he showed a distinct smile.

Before the blond female Taoist priest Galoran could speak, Du Heng proudly added:

"However, I have known several awakened people. They told me that the awakened people are also exploring and pursuing a new world in their hearts, just like everyone on the dust is looking for the door to the new world in reality. No more hunger, no more disease and aberrations.

"That's right, the monk order called it 'The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss'."

Shang Jianyao listened very seriously, and seemed to have some understanding.

At this time, Galoran interjected softly:

"Those mechanical monks wearing red cassocks in the monk order have a certain probability to have entered the 'Origin Sea'."

"That's right, 'Sea of ​​Origin'! They mentioned this term." Du Heng slapped his thigh and said.

After Jiang Baimian listened quietly, he asked thoughtfully:

"If you cross the 'Sea of ​​Origin', where will you arrive?"

"I don't know." Galoran responded calmly.

Du Heng smiled and didn't answer, but he didn't say he didn't know either.

Jiang Baimian thought for two seconds, then asked:

"Then where did it enter the 'Sea of ​​Origin'?"

Galoran looked at the jumping red bonfire and said:

"Everyone calls it differently there."

At this moment, Du Heng interjected with a smile:

"The more recognized one is: 'Hall of Stars'."

Shang Jian Yao's eyes moved slightly, but his expression did not change significantly.

"That's it." Jiang Baimian nodded slightly, "I haven't met a few awakened ones, so I don't know much about them."

After finishing speaking, she didn't give Du Heng and Jia Luolan a chance to speak, and looked sideways at Bai Chen:

"How's the roast going?"

"It's almost there." Bai Chen took back the branch with the rabbit on it.

"We are guests from afar, share some with the two of them." Jiang Baimian ordered.

Bai Chen knew how rare the information he heard just now was, and showed no resistance at all. After letting the roasted rabbit cool down for a while, he tore off the two hind legs and handed them to Du Heng and Jia Luolan respectively.

——She has been wandering on the dust for so many years, and this is the first time she has heard terms such as "Sea of ​​Origin" and "Hall of Stars".

Du Heng was not polite, he reached out to take it, grabbed the top of the leg bone, and ate it hot.

"That's right, it's baked just right..." He ate and ate, and he praised vaguely.

Galoran was much more refined than him, pinched the protruding bone that was not too hot, and bit down the rabbit meat in small bites.

At the same time, Bai Chen divided the remaining roasted rabbit into four portions and put them in the lunch boxes of himself and others.

Seeing that Yao took a bite, Shang felt that the meat was really good, but when he chewed it, he felt more fragrant than those meat dishes in the company.

Long Yuehong was in charge of guarding the surroundings, watching eagerly, unable to enjoy it immediately.

After eating the bit of rabbit meat, Jiang Baimian saw that Du Heng was sucking the lingering finger indistinctly, and smiled and said:

"Du, sir, didn't you say that you are a historical researcher and have a lot of knowledge?

"Then what do you know about the newly discovered ruins north of Yuelu Station? Do you know which city in the Old World it corresponds to?"

Du Heng took out a crumpled handkerchief, wiped his hands, and said with a smile:

"I don't know, a lot of information in the old world was completely lost when it was destroyed and in the chaotic years, including many high-precision maps.

"But I can be sure that the newly discovered city 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 in the north:

"When the old world was destroyed, many people survived in the small towns and villages around the city, but no one has ever mentioned or tried to explore the ruins of the city. Well, it was passed back by the relic hunter who discovered the ruins intelligence."

Regarding this point, Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen deeply agreed - Tian Erhe from Shuiwei Town was so young back then, and they ran back to the city to find their parents.

"Such details show that the ruins of the city are definitely not simple." Du Heng once again gave a conclusion.

As soon as he finished speaking, a hoarse and desolate roar suddenly came from a distance to the north:

"Ow!"

In the silent night, it was as if a nightmare was coming.

Chapter 47 In Nature

The roar hadn't subsided yet, and similar roars sounded from different places in the Great Swamp, echoing endlessly one after another.

Du Heng listened intently for a while, and the smile that was always on his face disappeared unknowingly.

When the night in the wilderness of the Black Marsh became quiet again, the middle-aged man who claimed to be an antiquities scholar and a researcher of history looked back at Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others:

"The situation over there is a little more troublesome than I expected.

"Looks like I'll have to travel all night."

While speaking, he had already stood up.

"Be careful." Jiang Baimian said politely without making any reservations.
