Chapter 179 More blazing than blazing
Chapter 179 More blazing than blazing
Xianzhou Gongzao Sigewuyuan, central forging furnace room.
Today, the Engineering and Manufacturing Department collectively cleared out for the day off. Ying Xing sat alone by the towering furnace. Flames were burning in the furnace, heat waves were spreading, and little bits of fiery snakes were splashing around.
He took out a green and gold gourd from his pocket, which contained the strongest liquor sold in the Luofu market. Strong liquor is equal to chronic poison for the corresponding star, just because he is the only short-lived species in the Engineering Department, and also the The only one among the four heroes on the cloud who is approaching the end of his life.
Strong drinks and cigarettes that hurt his lungs are both chronic poisons to him, so Ying Xing never drinks alcohol or does anything that hurts his body, just to live longer. It's not that he is afraid of death, it's just that in this world There are people he wants to see, that's all.
But now Ying Xing actually took out a wine gourd with him. His movements were quick and smooth, without any hesitation. The strong liquor slid down his throat. His hand holding the wine gourd was very steady. It was the instinct of the craftsman engraved in his bones. When the fire snake in the furnace illuminated his face, he felt as lonely as a wandering knight.
But as soon as he took a sip, he coughed violently, as if he wanted to cough out his entire lungs. Veins bulged in the hand holding the wine gourd, but he weakly let go.
"It's rare to see you drinking this kind of wine. You must have asked for it from my wife. Are you trying to end your life early?" Someone whispered behind him.
Ying Xing slowly loosened his hand holding the wine gourd and said in a hoarse voice: "Chun Ting Guard takes the turn of Chui Hong Guard to inspect the fairy boat today. You, the brave guard, are still on the fairy boat. If something unexpected happens, you will I’m going to be fucked to the end, Jingyuan.”
Jingyuan put the warm tea on the table, shrugged and chuckled: "It's quite good to play to the end. When the time comes, listen to the opera, drink tea, play chess and amuse the birds every day, wouldn't it be nice to get together with you? Save it." I practice battle formations every day and take the lead, so I can live more comfortably."
"There is no one in Luofu who can jerk you off." Ying Xing held up the cup and took a sip of tea, his brows gradually widened, "I studied under Lord Chang Heng, my wife is the sword leader of the Xianzhou Alliance, General Jingliu, and my brothers are Now Luofu Longzun Danfeng, who can make you become a soldier?"
"The wine my wife drinks is higher than the drunkenness of immortals. You can't drink it, and I can't drink it. If you want to experience the taste of strong liquor, it would be better to use three bowls of bulk wine from the old shop in Xingchahai instead. The fermented traditional Chinese medicine and health wine used." Jing Yuan lowered his head and hid his expression in the shadows, "Master and I used to go there often, and it was quite good."
Ying Xing took another sip of tea and rubbed the inner wall of the tea cup in silence for a long time. He closed his eyes slightly and savored the burning residual pain in his throat from the strong drink he had just taken.
"You came to me suddenly at this time, not just to bring me tea, right? You also saw that my end was approaching, so you talked to me more about old times." Ying Xing said quietly.
"I'm not welcome?" Jing Yuan, who was staring at the inner wall of the furnace, raised his head, "Are you disappointed to see that I'm not Bai Heng? Then I'm leaving?"
"It's not that Bai Heng has anything to be disappointed about." Ying Xing pretended not to understand and kept drinking tea with squinted eyes.
Jing Yuan stared into Ying Xing's eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly: "No one has told you that you are easy to understand?"
Ying Xing silently watched the fire snakes flying in the furnace, keeping his mouth shut and not speaking, because at that moment, he was really disappointed that the person coming was not Bai Heng but Jing Yuan.
"Master's Wife will leave Luofu in the future, which can be as short as half a month or as long as one or two years. If Master's Wife leaves, Luofu, whose general position is vacant, will become a key target of the Fertility Alliance. Although Luofu's soldiers and horses are strong now, they can deal with the envoys. , still not 100% sure." Jing Yuan tapped his fingers on the table and put away his smile.
"That marshal allowed Luofu's general position to remain vacant?"
"Although the Marshal commands the entire Immortal Boat Alliance, in the final analysis, the power of the Immortal Boat General comes from Lord Di Gong Siming. Although Lord Di Gong does not care about the affairs of the Immortal Boat, as long as he ascends the position of general, he will be given the power to hunt, but an Immortal Boat How can a general be easy to select and able to convince the public?"
"You're not here to canvass for votes, are you?" Ying Xing smiled.
"Canvassing votes? If you came to vote, I'm afraid Bai Heng's name would have been written on the ballot." Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"Be careful, I will stuff you into the furnace and forge it into a long knife." Ying Xing narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about how to stuff Jingyuan into the furnace.
"The position of general is too heavy. What is carried on the shoulders is not the head, but the immortal boat. Compared with the generals of the immortal boat, the experience of Bai Heng's unknown guest makes people yearn for it." Jing Yuan shook his head.
"But in fact, there are many things in this world that you can't do just because you think about it, and you can't stop doing it just because you refuse. There are always some fates and responsibilities that you can't choose. There are always some people that you will remember forever, but sometimes people You always have to face choices." Jing Yuan continued.
Ying Xing sipped the warm tea, but felt himself getting colder inch by inch. He vaguely understood what Jing Yuan wanted to express to him, but he still refused to admit it in his heart, maybe he thought it was perfect.
Ying Xing was silent for a while: "Because I have experienced the most turbulent malice and the most terrifying cold in the world, the moment the sun shines on me, even the faintest ray of light feels the most intense. From then on, even if I faced the sun, it felt like nothing more.”
Jing Yuan stared into Ying Xing's eyes and was silent for a long time. He stood up and patted his shoulder: "We must be prepared to go to Zhuming at any time. Now there is an undercurrent in Luofu. No one can guarantee whether there will be an enemy attack in the next second. Come, you will learn from General Zhu Ming Huaiyan, so you will naturally know the meaning of Suiyang."
"Actually, it's good to know that the deadline is approaching. Before you leave, remember to go to the teahouse to listen to a book, go to the chess and card room to play chess, or express your feelings. Always do something you have never tried before."
"The separation between life and death is like a journey. Those who leave early will wave goodbye to the people on the shore. They are not lonely at all. The most lonely ones are the ones who leave last."
.....
"Elise looks very busy lately." Jiang Fan put down the magazine he was reading with a croissant in his mouth, "Didn't anyone tell her that she looks like a headless fly?"
"A pervert who licks feet has no right to say that others are like headless flies." Kafka stirred the coffee and said without raising his head.
"Obviously she asked me to eat it, could you please stop beating me up?" Jiang Fan closed the magazine.
"I asked you to lick the soles of the shoes, will you lick them too?" Kafka finally raised his head, crossed his legs and stretched his feet in the direction of Jiang Fan.
"Stop making trouble, take off your shoes before talking." Jiang Fan glanced at Kafka's feet, then raised his head and stared into Kafka's eyes, "Let's get down to business, it's time for us to leave the fairy boat."
"Leave the fairy boat?" Kafka raised an eyebrow.
"Otherwise, do you still want to continue to be a nanny? Being able to change the leader of a planet without anyone noticing is definitely a matter between big forces. We are just bounty hunters, not messengers of justice to maintain the peace of the universe. We All you have to do is take the money and leave, instead of helping the customer deal with the aftermath.”
"And you know, what I'm good at is in-depth intelligence and institutional systems. Combat is not my strong point."
Kafka lowered his head and drank coffee without saying anything. After all, it was difficult to find fault with what Jiang Fan said. To put it bluntly, the relationship between them and Elise was that of employer. It was the kind of relationship where both parties benefited and could break up immediately. That kind of thing.
Not only with Elise, but also with Jiang Fan. This short trip together was just an episode in life. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing to remember. Anyway, it is not the first time we parted.
......
The endless mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, mirrored waves are walking between the sea of frozen trees, overhead are the clouds that seem to be cut across the sky, and the cold current like white mist is moving between the mountains.
Some of the followers of Fertility who had fainted due to the lingering power of the sword slowly opened their eyes. The forest in the distance was like an ocean of ice. As far as the eye could see, it was filled with hazy frost and cold white crystals, half of which was reflected on the ice. On the moon, a woman holding a sword in one hand is approaching, her white hair dancing wildly in the wind.
The few people who opened their eyes and regained consciousness looked at each other, suddenly stood up, turned their backs to the woman, and ran all the way. They only regretted that their parents had lost two legs.
Jingliu looked at the scurrying figures of several people and did not draw his sword. He just silently strode forward in the direction of the half-moon wheel. The silence in the night was terrifying, and the pitch-black sky seemed to be falling.
Yes, what Bai Heng said makes sense. He is clearly lonely, but he deceives himself into believing that he is not lonely anymore. That is a truth that is far more tragic than loneliness.
It started to rain again in the sky, but it was just a drizzle. The silver needle-like raindrops looked down at the mirror and whispered softly. The water droplets fell on the mirror-like reflective blade and splashed in all directions. It was no longer clear that it was rain. Still water.
The rain suddenly became heavy, and the world was lonely. Standing on the endless ice, she suddenly felt a sense of helplessness that only a girl can have. Instead of the coldness of the Xianzhou Sword Leader, she was a little weak.
