Chapter Thirty-Eight: That Word Reads Xiao (Part 2)
When the three of them heard this, they frowned slightly.
"The scope of this fog is very large. There must be many disciples who have gone deep into it, and some disciples may have been killed at this time. Therefore, it is impossible for the elders to be unaware of it. At this time, they should have known that this fog is an unusual natural fog.
There will be countermeasures in the palace." Yue Mochen expressed his thoughts.
"You still didn't tell us what we should do." Yue Mofeng said coldly. Among the three of them, he was the only one who would directly address Yue Mochen as "you". But at this time, he had never realized that he actually had a problem with Yue Mochen.
Thoughts that make up the mind.
Yue Mochen was silent for a moment, and then said: "Even the fourth-level moon spirits appeared in the thick fog. If we choose to return to the original route now, we will definitely encounter more dangers. Not every time we can be like this
You were so lucky just now.”
"Do you mean to stay here?" Yue Mofeng asked.
"I think what Senior Brother Chen said makes sense. Do you still remember what Yueling, who died in our hands before, said? He said that this fog will rise after noon every day until night. It means that in the morning,
Fog does not exist. In other words, during that time, we can safely return the same way we came."
"It may not be safe, but at least there won't be weird and unpredictable moon spirits." Yue Mochen added. "Except for the moon spirits, the most spiritual beasts we saw along the way were second-level peaks. This is very important to our lineup.
So it’s not a problem.”
"Then let's stay here for one night?" Yue Moxue asked.
"This is my idea. At least it is more practical than returning. What do you think?" Yue Mochen said softly.
"Yes, I agree." Yue Moqing was the first to express her stance with a smile.
Yue Moxue looked at Yue Moqing and thought to herself: "Imagine it, you will agree with whatever Senior Brother Chen says, right?" But then she felt guilty for her behavior, and did not dare to look at Yue Moqing again, and turned her head.
He looked at Yue Mofeng.
Naturally, Yue Mofeng didn't know what she was thinking, so he just thought the other party was asking for her opinion and gave her an affirmative look. Yue Moxue understood and nodded, expressing her agreement.
The former looked at Yue Mochen, then moved his gaze to the burning flames, and said calmly: "Then let's take turns keeping vigil tonight, so that Xue'er and Junior Sister Qing can take a rest."
"Okay." Yue Mochen didn't care at all about the other party's rudeness. He smiled and nodded, then looked at the two girls and said, "You two will sleep for a while. I used up my spiritual energy just now. I need to replenish it first."
Re-cultivate your spirit.”
"Yeah, I understand. If you're tired, just call us." Yue Moqing said to the two of them with a smile still on her face.
When the four of them hurriedly sated down their appetites, the sun had already disappeared, leaving only a few lingering rays of light reflected in the distant sky.
Yue Mochen originally wanted to keep vigil first, but Yue Mofeng refused Yue Mochen's suggestion because of his higher cultivation level. Yue Mochen didn't say anything, so he went to pick up some dry branches not far away.
To keep the fire burning.
The two girls, Yue Mo Xue, ran up a big tree lightly, looking for a place to rest.
Finally, the two girls leaned on different branches of a big tree and closed their eyes. Perhaps they were too tired from the battle they had just experienced. Soon they heard even breathing sounds, and they were obviously asleep.
go.
Yue Mofeng was also leaning against the trunk of the big tree, with his long sword and scabbard inserted diagonally beside the tree. He stared at the still burning fire with an expressionless face, but he was playing with a jade pendant in his right hand.
Under the bright firelight, the crystal jade pendant looked a little red, reflecting a vague ancient text inside.
This jade pendant has been on his body since he was a child. He is sure that his life experience is not as simple as it appears, but he has never been able to figure out what the word is.
Yue Mochen, who had returned, glanced at him and felt that he was a little strange, but he didn't say anything. He patiently selected some of the dry branches he had picked up and added them to the fire, and then put the rest aside.
, just like the two girls, they ran up the tree.
But when he passed by Yue Mofeng, he said softly: "I know that ancient character."
As if feeling Yue Mofeng's gaze coming from behind him, Yue Mochen sighed: "That character, pronounced Xiao, is an ancient surname."
Hearing this, Yue Mofeng subconsciously tightened her right hand on the jade pendant. Just as she was about to say something, Yue Mochen did not look back and jumped up. When her figure reappeared, she had already reached the top of the tree.
Seeing Yue Mochen acting like this, he nodded gratefully towards the figure, and then sat on the ground again. He still held the jade pendant in his hand, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Yue Mochen guessed that the jade pendant that Yue Mofeng cherishes so much must not be because of the value of the jade pendant itself, but the meaning it represents. And the vague ancient surname proves that the jade pendant is most likely a family member.
Things passed down.
When he first came back, he saw Yue Mofeng leaning against a tree and thinking deeply. Yue Mochen knew the latter's state very well.
Although he didn't know whether the other party was remembering or looking for answers, Yue Mochen could understand. Because he had been like this before, like an orphan, longing to know his life experience, but unable to start.
The reason why Yue Mochen didn't ask the other party anything or say anything more was because he knew that with Yue Mofeng's cold and arrogant character, he definitely didn't like others to feel pity for him. Because he understood, he didn't care and just left that person behind.
Two seemingly insignificant sentences.
But are those two sentences really irrelevant? Otherwise, just look at Yue Mofeng's reaction.
Yue Mochen looked down at Yue Mofeng who was sitting on the ground again, smiled reassuringly, and then closed his eyes.
Yue Mochen had no objection to Yue Mofeng. Even though the former's entry into the palace worsened Yue Mochen's previously embarrassing position, Yue Mochen only regarded him as a rival and never felt any resentment.
Meaning.
Perhaps it was a matter of personal character, or perhaps it was because of the relationship between Yue Moxue and Yue Monan that he had always wanted to be on good terms with Yue Mofeng. But the latter had a cold and arrogant personality, and they were not in the same palace in the same palace.
We didn't have much interaction, so we never had a chance.
This experience can be said to be the "first close contact" between the two. Although they are not friends yet, they have fought side by side and can be said to be friends.
At this time, Yue Mochen accidentally discovered that the other party was abnormal, and thought that maybe the other party's life experience was not simple, but he did not test him with words, but wisely chose to avoid it. It was also a way to make good friends with the other party. I hope
, he can understand his own intentions.
Yue Mochen thought quietly, and then fell into sleep like the two girls.
In the dream, he transformed into Yue Mochen again, holding a weapon called the "Barrett M109 sniper rifle" in a dilapidated city, flying bullets...
