Strange Records of Xijing

The two of them told Ming Dao about their decision, and the latter was rarely silent.After a long time, Ming Dao sighed: "I don't have any other useful news, the national teacher is still waiting for me to bring things back."

The three of them agreed to rest at this sentry point for the last night, and set off at dawn tomorrow.

Seeing that they were determined to go, the guide stopped persuading them, and just let himself go to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, the guide led the yak and walked around the sentry point several times.

The three of them ignored it, and just counted the equipment by themselves and divided the necessary supplies into four.Pei Jingxing didn't want to have contact with Barnardo at first, but he heard about the latter's temptation from Zhou Yuyi the night before, and he knew that Banado's body was probably half of Su Yan's soul.He didn't want Su Yan to endure hardship, so he couldn't help but put some extra things from his share into Bana's package, and handed them to Bana together with the bone flute.

Pei Jingxing handed the package to Bana, half warning: "Follow me, don't try to run, we are also saving you."

He was actually right.Bana himself is dead, his soul is long gone, half of Su Yan's soul is in his body, he has lost the ability to speak, and is in a daze.If the ghost can be found in the future, and there is really Su Yan's soul in the ghost, it will be a good thing for both Su Yan's soul and Bana's body.

Thinking of this, Pei Jingxing was momentarily confused about the way ahead.

Whether there is a ghost in front of it, and whether there is Su Yan's soul in the ghost or not, everything is unknown.

But this confusion is only short-lived.It is impossible for him to stay where he is, and it is impossible for him to give up at this time. As long as there is a glimmer of life ahead, he will go forward bravely.

Everyone has finished decorating.At this time, the guide who was still spinning saw that they were about to leave, gritted his teeth, and led the yak to block their way.

He handed over the reins to Pei Jingxing, and only kept a yak for himself.Then, the guide took out some food from the bag hanging on the side of the yak and handed it to Pei Jingxing.

"I have left the money you gave me at home, and there is no way to return it to you." The guide blushed and said, "So, I will give you all these yaks and food."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and took out a small bottle from the interlayer of his clothes, and handed it to Pei Jingxing: "This is medicine for frostbite, a little bit is very useful, it is my family's unique secret recipe."

"Thank you." Pei Jingxing accepted all of them without being polite to him.

The guide bit his lower lip and wanted to persuade him again, but he couldn't say anything when he met the determined eyes of Pei Jingxing and the others.

After the four left, the guide looked at their receding backs and made a gesture used by the tribe to pray for blessings.

I don't owe them anything.

Thinking of this, the guide felt that the pressure in his heart was relieved, and he took the yak and left with his back to the four of them.

Without the guidance of a guide who is familiar with the local environment, even with mountains on both sides as references, the four of them will soon be unable to clearly identify the direction.The only luck is that there is no snow now, so the footprints on the snow are not covered soon. The three of them can barely make sure that they are going forward, but whether they have deviated and how much they have deviated from is unknown.

They don't know how long they have to go, and they don't know what dangers lie ahead, so unless necessary, they don't even say a word, and save their energy as much as possible to deal with unexpected unexpected situations later.

Suddenly, Bana called out, "Xiao Jing."

Pei Jingxing on the side froze as if struck by lightning, looking at Bana with some expectation in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak.

Zhou Yu looked at Bana and asked, "Fellow Daoist Su?"

But Bana ignored it, and only repeated the word "Xiaojing" in his mouth.

This is the private address of Su Yan and Pei Jingxing. Few people in their social circle know about it, let alone Bana who is far away in southern Xinjiang.Now, Pei Jingxing had no doubts at all, he was [-]% sure that what was inside Bana was Su Yan.

"A Yan," Pei Jingxing stepped forward and said softly to Bana's empty eyes, "I'm here."

"Xiaojing, Xiaojing." Su Yan in Bana's body seemed to sense Pei Jingxing's response, and said, "Don't come looking for me."

"Don't come?" Pei Jingxing asked him hastily, "Why don't you come?"

Barna continued to pass the message numbly: "It's dangerous, don't come."

"A Yan," Pei Jingxing suppressed the anxiety in his heart as much as possible, and asked in a good voice, "Where are you? What's the danger? I'll help you."

"It's useless," Barna continued, "Once you get in, you can't get out again."

"A Yan!" Pei Jingxing was anxious, "If I were there, would you give up on me?"

Bana opened his mouth, but didn't speak. He didn't even blink his eyes, as if he was completely frozen.

After a long time, two words came out of Bana's mouth: "No."

Ming Dao was anxious at the side, wanting to speak, but he was afraid that if a stranger like himself spoke, he would scare Bana back to the state where he could only utter monotonous syllables before, so he could only desperately gesture to Pei Jingxing to signal him to ask the direction quickly.

Pei Jingxing was also anxious to know where Su Yan was, and asked, "Are you in a ghost?"

"Ghost?" Bana's voice was full of confusion, "I don't know, I woke up here. There are no living things in this place, even those souls are unconscious. I can't move other parts of my body except my neck. "

"Then what's around you?" Pei Jingxing continued to ask, "What's the most special thing you can see?"

"Special?" Bana paused for a while, and replied, "Below me is a battlefield, but everyone is not breathing, not moving, and the horses they are riding have always maintained the same posture."

Pei Jingxing looked at the two people beside him, Ming Dao shook his head, not knowing where it was.Zhou Yuyi pondered for a long time, and reported a possible location: "ancient battlefield."

Pei Jingxing relayed Zhou Yuyi's words to Su Yan, and said, "Ah Yan, the place you are in is probably a place called 'Ancient Battlefield', have you heard of this place?"

"I don't know. I..." At this point, Bana rolled his eyes and fell backwards.

Pei Jingxing hurriedly helped him up.Zhou Yuyi grabbed Bana's hand and felt for his pulse.Then, he stretched out his hand and pressed on Bana's neck a few more times, and said, "It should be due to lack of energy and passed out."

Mingdao found a corner at this time, and swept away the old snow, revealing a big rock that could block the wind.

He led the yak to the edge of the stone and said, "Let's rest here, and we can summarize the situation by the way."

Pei Jingxing handed Bana to Zhou Yuyi, and he took out a few straw mats, threw them on the bottom, and covered the top with a layer of blankets.Zhou Yu put Bana on it, and Pei Jingxing took off Bana's cloak and covered him.Afterwards, the three surrounded Bana and discussed the information collected from Su Yan.

"I also heard about this ancient battlefield from my master." Without waiting for the other two people to ask, Zhou Yu told all he knew, "It is said that this ancient battlefield was a war between two huge tribes in ancient times. Scene. At that time, because these two tribes competed for a piece of land, they each organized an army of tens of thousands of people. As a result, countless casualties, blood flowed like rivers, and even the sky was reflected red by the blood flowing on the ground. God was very angry because of this In an instant, all the people lost their lives, while their bodies maintained the movements at the last moment. Their bodies remained unchanged through the ages, and they were specially left by God to let people who came and went know the horror of war. "

Mingdao sighed after listening, "Unfortunately, too many people are repeating the same mistakes."

Zhou Yuyi was deeply moved, and continued: "But it's just a legend. No one has seen this so-called 'ancient battlefield' at all, let alone history books. There is no mention of this ancient battlefield in folk tales. If not Because I was naughty when I was young and refused to sleep, Master would not tell this story specially to scare me."

Pei Jingxing asked him: "Then where did your master hear about it?"

Zhou Yuyi shook his head: "Master didn't say, I was still young at the time, and I was terrified when I heard this story, so I never thought of asking. When I grow up, I will forget about it. If it wasn't for Su Daoyou If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have thought about it at all.”

"No one has seen it, so it doesn't mean it doesn't exist," Ming Dao said, "Didn't Su Yan see it this time? The things in ancient times are too long ago, and it's normal for people nowadays not to know. And even if those corpses have been placed There, the vicissitudes of life, how long has passed, maybe it has been buried long ago."

"Indeed," Pei Jingxing said, "I don't know much about these things, but this Bana only has half of Ayan's soul in his body, and he usually can't speak. When we came here, he was able to speak suddenly, which means that he and Ayan should be separated." Half of the souls sensed it. Daoist Zhou, do you think what I said is right?"

Zhou Yu nodded his head, affirming Pei Jingxing's guess: "Anyway, at least we haven't deviated from the general direction we're going."

"Then what should we do now?" Ming Dao spread his hands and said, "We wait for Bana to wake up, and then let him and Su Yan sense it?"

"No." Pei Jingxing rejected Ming Dao's proposal, "It's still unknown when Bana will wake up, we can't waste too much time here. And although it's not snowing now, the footprints we left won't last long. If we keep Staying here, there is no reference around. If the three of us find the wrong direction when we set off, and we want to correct it, we don’t know when it will be.”

When Ming Dao heard it, he felt that what Pei Jingxing said was also reasonable, so he got up immediately: "Okay, anyway, there are yaks, throw this man on the yaks, we can walk as far as we can."

As Pei Jingxing said, they started again, and with the help of their footprints and the scenery on both sides, they barely maintained a general direction of progress.But Bana on the back of the yak has yet to wake up.

The three of them walked to the sky and it was getting late, the snow mountain situation was changing, and they were not familiar with the place, so they dared not continue to take risks, so they could only find a windshield behind the mountain and set up two simple tents.

They surrounded the yaks in a half circle, which can not only block the wind, but also serve as a layer of defense. The three of them took turns to watch the night.

It happened to be Pei Jingxing's turn to watch the night.The weather is getting colder and colder, and the physical exhaustion and psychological tension brought about by the past two months of running, together with the full sleepiness triggered by the cold, are intertwined like a tide. A wave came towards Pei Jingxing.

Just when he was drowsy, he heard a slight ringing in his ear.Looking along the sound, with the help of the infinitely close moonlight, he saw a white figure that was quietly clinging to the side of the mountain and slowly crawling towards them.
