I didn't become a human today

Ji Ran looked in through the holes in the mask's eyes, and it was pitch black inside.

The hard mask was pressed against his face, bitingly cold.In a trance, Ji Ran seemed to feel that the mask turned over and covered his face.

He was a little flustered, and reached out to try to take off the mask, but found that he couldn't take it off no matter what, the mask seemed to grow on his face.Looking out through those two holes, he actually saw Lu Zhihe and Brother Xingye.

Beside the wall where he had marked, those dog-climbing characters stood out very clearly.

"The wall can be pierced, maybe it is a way of life, the Yellow Sand Palace is waiting for you?" Brother Xingye read those words over and over again, he put his hand on the wall, knocked, and heard the sound, it was clearly solid .

Lu Zhihe has also arrived here, and both of them looked extremely weak due to lack of water.

"Where can I wear this wall? It's solid, how can I wear it? All the marks are gone here. Where did he go? It can't be that he really went behind the wall!"

It turned out that they couldn't get in that wall at all, so they couldn't enter the Yellow Sand Palace, they could only be trapped there to death.

When the scene in front of him changed, Lu Zhihe covered his stomach with one hand, and asked Liang Xingye who was leaning against the wall very uncomfortable, "Can you go? Are you really planning to die by this wall? If you don't go, then I'm going first, I don't want to die here, I want to find a way out for myself."

Brother Hoshino closed his eyes in a daze, without any movement, he had passed out long ago.

Time wrapped in the wind and sand of the desert, quickly flashed before Ji Ran's eyes, he just watched Brother Xingye turn into a corpse, and finally rotted into a pile of bones...

Is this their future?

Ji Ran couldn't accept such an ending!

He closed his eyes as if making up his mind, and clenched his fists tightly, "Whatever you want, just take it from me, I only have one request, take all of us out, leave the desert, everyone must live!"

After Ji Ran finished speaking, he felt a stabbing pain on his face, and then opened his eyes, the man was still standing in front of him wearing a mask, as if everything he saw just now was an illusion.

When the man moved his finger, the blue smoke surrounding Ji Ran suddenly penetrated into his body.

There was no strange feeling, but suddenly, I felt empty in my heart, as if many things had been swept away.

The cloud of smoke quickly returned to the palm of the man. Ji Ran saw that after the smoke got out of his body, it seemed to be a little different. something that glows.

The man got what he wanted and smiled contentedly.

He pushed Ji Ran hard. Ji Ran's eyes were empty and his expression was numb. He just fell straight upright and fell into the sand.

The rough texture of the gravel kept rubbing against his skin, but despite this, his body continued to sink uncontrollably, as if falling into the ocean.

Everything around was extremely dark, and vaguely, he heard the voice of that person, "The exchange between you and me is a secret, you will never remember what you lost..."

Ji Ran touched his heart, it was empty and still beating peacefully, as if nothing had happened, so he closed his eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.

……

……

It was still night when I woke up.

Ji Ran turned over in a daze, and found Brother Hoshino lying next to him. The two were lying in a felt tent with a bonfire burning outside.

He rubbed his cold hands and walked out of the tent. There were other people outside the tent, all businessmen from the camel caravan.

"Wake up. You are so lucky. When I found you, the three of you were dehydrated. Fortunately, I met us. There was another young man who woke up earlier than you. He took some water and left. Seeing that you are still awake, Just let me tell you something."

Probably Lu Zhihe, Ji Ran thought.

But he couldn't remember exactly how they got out of Mirage City.

Taking a few more sips from the kettle handed by the old man, sitting by the warm campfire, looking at the starry sky, Ji Ran's heart was unprecedentedly peaceful.

"Where are you going?" On the other side of the bonfire, the old man handed over the jerky.

"Go to Star Island." Ji Ran said, he promised Brother Hoshino that he would accompany him to Star Island.

That was the end of their journey.

Ji Ran touched the position of his dantian. In fact, he had already noticed it when he woke up just now. His inner alchemy has almost been repaired. In the future, he can control himself anytime, anywhere and as he likes.

"Old man, have you heard of Star Island?" Ji Ran asked him.

The old man sitting across from Houhuo looked like he was over 50 years old, his hair was slightly gray, and he looked old and vigorous.Because of carrying goods all the year round, the muscles on his arms are very strong, and his body is also very strong. Hearing Ji Ran talk about Xingxing Island, the old man's chatterbox immediately opened up

"I went there when I was young."

Ji Ran thought to himself, I have never been there, so he became more and more curious, "Old Man, what kind of place is that?" Why did Brother Hoshino have to go to that place?

"Xingxing Island is located in the middle of the sea. It is a very beautiful group of islands. Many people say that it is the most beautiful corner in the world. Therefore, many immortals in the sky chose to perish there. In that place, there are many There are demons, there are also many immortals, demons and scattered immortals coexist peacefully, at night, when flowers grow on the sea, the entire surface of the sea will glow!"

"Oh?" Ji Ran expressed doubts, "Can demons and Sanxians coexist peacefully? Is there really such a peaceful place in this world?"

"That's natural!" The old man became excited. "When I was young, I happened to pass by there and lived on the island for a while. When I was young, I met a girl. I liked her very much. That girl She also likes me very much, but she confessed to me that she is a demon..." The old man was silent for a while when he said this, "I was young and energetic at the time, and I broke up with that girl on the spot, but now that I think about it, it is actually a human or a demon. What does it matter?"

In his whole life, he missed it once and never married.

"Do you regret it?" Ji Ran asked him

The old man nodded, with tears in his eyes.

"Then why don't you go back to her?"

The old man sighed, "Now that I look like this, half of my foot is already in the coffin. What's the use of going to her again? Life is short, and you can't afford to miss it. If you miss it, it's gone."

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Ran across the bonfire, "If you have ever liked someone, you will understand my state of mind at this time."

Ji Ran touched his chest and put down the jerky, "Oh, then I don't think I can understand."
