Chapter 28 Knowing the way of heaven and boarding a pirate ship...
"I always thought that the so-called 'gifted by heaven' was unique to the Shen family."
Bao Le glanced at Jun Zhi.
Shen Wangyan picked up a stick at random, and fiddled with the fire in front of him. His face was calm, and his expression didn't change much, just like the usual Jun Zhi.On the other hand, Jun Zhi, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and none of the muscles on his face were relaxed.At that time, Jiang Baole didn't know the meaning of "Heaven's Grant" to the Shen family, so she didn't know why these two people were like this.
Shen Wangyan said: "'Tianfu' is unique to the ancient survivors. As the literal meaning, in ancient times, it was granted by the heaven or the way of heaven, and it has been passed down to this day."
Bao Le frowned, she understood every word he said, but she really didn't know what he wanted to express together.
Young Master Shen turned back and smiled at her: "I can tell you this, but..."
"Are you sure you want to hear it?"
She avoided Shen Wangyan's eyes looking at her, just like she did countless times before, she was always deliberately avoiding these things that she shouldn't know, no one knows better than her what it means to protect oneself wisely.Taking a step back, it is no longer the time for her to control the direction of things when things have developed like this.Master warned her not to ask, not to touch, not to be curious, there must be his reasons.
But is that really the case?
Countless times he was imprisoned and escaped countless times.
She knew better than anyone else that she was already in the vortex of all this.
And the center of this vortex is absolutely inseparable from the people in front of them and the "gift from heaven" they call.
Bao Le raised his head, looking at Shen Wangyan seriously and firmly.She never thought that she would one day, knowing that there was no return to the road ahead, but when she stepped on it, she did not regret it.
"I want to know," she said.
The corner of Shen Wangyan's mouth curled up into a smile, as if he had already expected the current situation.
In this world, there is no one who is more scheming than Shen.
Shen Wangyan said: "The Aisang people are a branch of the ancient survivors. According to ancient records, the Aisang people understand all things and can recognize all the sounds in the world. This is their 'first day grant'. And this 'soul bell' is a token of the Aisan people, and the above-mentioned totem text is called the book on the spine, and it comes from 'the second day grant'."
Bao Le looked at him, as if he was listening to the scriptures.
"So the translation of Tianshou into modern Chinese refers to supernatural powers? It's not that I don't believe it, but this supernatural power is just supernatural powers. Why do you divide it into one or two?"
"Heaven's gift is not as simple as supernatural power, it is a kind of inheritance power maintained by blood relationship. The first and second day's gift is simply: the first day's gift is innate, and the second day's gift is innate.The gift is obtained after birth." Shen Wangyan is worthy of being a high-achieving student, with first-class logical thinking and analytical ability. "Every family's gift is different, and what I said is just historical records. As for the spine on the soul bellIt is absolutely impossible for foreigners to understand the meaning of what is written in the book. It can only be said to be speculated that the Aisan people should have a special ability through the soul bell."
"Although we entered the illusion because of the ecstasy grass, the aggressiveness of these mummies and zombies cannot be explained by hallucinations."
Shen Wangyan pointed to the right.
After Bao Le woke up, his attention was focused on the campfire. Only when he pointed did she realize that there was a small hill piled up in the backlight on the right.Take a closer look, my darling, they are all headless corpses, some turned into white bones or mummies, and some, as she saw before, where the carrion and bones were not completely separated.In terms of quantity, there are not one or two hundred, but one hundred and eighty. Now that they are stacked together like this, they are simply more terrifying than mass graves.As for their heads, she didn't see them, but judging from Jun Zhi's previous method of handling the corpses, it is possible that this thing will not continue to move until the heads are unscrewed.
Shen Wangyan said: "This thing loves light and heat, so you lit a fire before and woke them up."
Bao Le shuddered.
He continued: "It is impossible for a corpse to move by itself. This is a kind of 'exorcism technique', which should be driven through the medium of the soul bell. But the gift of the Aisan people does not include manipulating the corpse.What is passed down is only the perception of everything.”
"so?"
Shen Wangyan sighed: "People who deviate from the way of heaven and take advantage of the way of heaven. They used to be the sons of heaven, but they are no longer considered children of heaven. It's okay if they just manipulate corpses... Just be afraid, their abilities are not so good.Simple."
He didn't say it clearly, but Bao Le can think of it, if they don't just manipulate the corpse, just like they perceive everything, are they manipulating everything?
"At least the good news is that the Ethan people can't or can't manipulate us," Bao Le said, "otherwise they wouldn't have used the ecstasy on us."
Shen Wangyan nodded, he thought so too, so the only thing he can do now is to take a step and watch.
"When I came here to look for you, I saw a large pit in the backyard. Judging from the geological analysis map given by the archaeological team, this is the last large-scale tomb in ancient Yu Township. Let's have a good rest tonight.Let's go down again at dawn tomorrow."
Bao Le exclaimed: "What?! Shouldn't our top priority now be to find the way back? Why do you still want to go to the grave!"
Shen Wangyan sneered: "It's their plan to go back now. Since they want us to go, I won't go. I want to see what ulterior secrets this little Guyu Township has?, that action a hundred years ago, and because of some reason, everyone ended up here."
"You're downright crazy."
"Congratulations," Young Master Shen looked back, "It's not too late to know."
Bao Le seriously thought about the probability of getting out of the village alive if he was alone, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was infinitely close to zero.After all, she has become a target now. If she falls behind, the other party will have more opportunities to take advantage of her.The little girl, who realized the seriousness of the matter, looked around sadly. Almost everyone, including Shen Jiading, had no objection to Young Master Shen's crazy decision, and they were even preparing for the burial tomorrow morning.action.
This is definitely the rhythm of being on a thief ship.
Bao Le was very unwilling, and asked a retaliatory question like a trick.
"Since perceiving everything is the 'gift' of the Aisan people, then Boss Shen, what is the 'given' of your Shen family? As you said, every family has its own god's gift, and your Shen family is also an ancientLegacy."
She asked such a wonderful question. Not only did Young Master Shen and Jun Zhi look at each other affectionately, but even Jiang Ning, who was sitting opposite, whistled happily.
Shen Wangyan waved his hand, half-smiling and half-smiling: "These are not secrets that cannot be told, but it would be too boring to tell you like this, why don't you guess it?"
Bao Le thought to himself, this reaction is indeed the style of Young Master Shen.
"Live forever."
When she said this, she kept staring at Jun Zhi.
Listening to her answer, Shen Wangyan found that she had been staring at Jun Zhi, understood the reason for her answer, shook his head, and sneered in a low voice, "Guess again."
Bao Le was quite surprised by his reaction. Her intuition and judgment have always been accurate, so almost everything she guessed before came true, but looking at Shen Wangyan's attitude, it seems that the answer she said is far from the truthFar.
"Any hints? It's too hard to guess."
Shen Wangyan answered irrelevantly and asked, "The way of heaven is not so easy to guess, is it?"
Jun Zhi left in boredom when they were discussing the Shen family's heavenly grant, as if what they were talking about now was an extremely unnutritive thing.
Even so, in order to satisfy his curiosity, Bao Le still asked Master Shen for a long time.She wanted to ask Jun Zhi directly, but with his taciturn character, it would be a ghost if he could ask anything. The little girl glanced back resentfully, and then focused on wrangling with Shen Wangyan.
But until the end, Eldest Young Master Shen didn't explain to her exactly what the Shen family's divine gift was.She found that he had been playing Tai Chi with her. After seven or forty-nine rounds, Bao Le closed his mouth tiredly, and gave him a "speechless" expression, drawing a good picture for their conversation.Such a perfect ending.
...
That night was the first time that Bao Le didn't sleep in bed after arriving in Guyu Township. The conditions were limited and the environment didn't allow them, so they could only spend the night in sleeping bags in the open air.In fact, except for the delicate Baole, the members of the Shen family have long been accustomed to sleeping in the open, and everyone slept soundly.
Bao Le woke up three or four times on the way. Although she fell asleep in a daze after waking up, she was sure that every time she opened her eyes, Jun Zhi was awake, and he sat beside the campfire in a daze.
They must have been on vigil, all night long.
Bao Le had a lot of things hidden in her heart, and she didn't have a good rest at night. When the sky was a little bright, she couldn't fall asleep anyway.Opening the sleeping bag, the little girl got up on tiptoe, and accidentally knocked her ankle against a pebble next to the sleeping bag, causing more injuries. She couldn't help but groaned, quickly covered her mouth, and glanced to the side. Fortunately, Jiang Ning was asleep.It's quite familiar.
The little girl grinned and kicked the stone in retaliation.
It was just dawn at that time, and it was inferred that it was about four or five o'clock, but could see the road clearly without a flashlight.Bao Le looked around and found that the bonfire in the center had gone out, and the night watchmen went to nowhere.Surrounded by deserted villages and haunted houses, she dared not run around.When she was struggling, she suddenly remembered what Shen San said, if you can't find Jun Zhi, just look up.
She raised her head, and met Jun Zhilai who was sitting on the roof of Abu's house looking down at her affectionately.
Well, only her teary-eyed because of a sore ankle.And this Mr. Jun has implemented his indifferent personality from beginning to end.
To be honest, she still couldn't accept his status of immortality after living for hundreds of years, but it was not incomprehensible, and even many things she had doubts about before had been explained.
For example, his handwriting, the traditional Chinese characters with a calm and airy hand, she said that she would never be able to practice without decades of skills.Another example is his character of being indifferent to everything. He has lived for too long, so there is nothing that can make him feel novel or even interesting.At that moment, Bao Le felt that he was possessed by the third master, and instantly turned into a bottle reader, although this bottle was not that bottle.No wonder he likes to read "Tomb Raider Notes", maybe it's because he saw another self in the book.
But you have to insist that Jun Zhi and Zhang Qiling also have many differences.Sometimes, Bao Le feels that he is more like a person than Zhang Qiling, this may be because he will not lose his memory every few years like his younger brother.He needs to remember more things, and understand what he is going to do from beginning to end, but because of this, longevity must be heavier for him.
What Jiang Ning said is right, people who have not experienced it are not qualified to judge all this.
Just when Bao Le was slandering, someone suddenly hugged her waist from behind her.
Jun Zhi didn't remind her to hug him, but when he hugged Baole, he took her to borrow the surrounding rows of short fences, and jumped up to the roof step by step.He could feel the little girl subconsciously wrapping her arms around his waist and burying her head in his chest. Bao Le is now very used to him carrying her like this.No matter what he does, as long as she can smell the sandalwood on his body, she won't be nervous or afraid.
Jun Zhi let go of Baole.
The little girl patted her chest. Although she was not afraid, she was even more puzzled as to why he came so suddenly.I saw the culprit turned his face halfway at this moment, and his eyes fell on her.The morning light shrouded the two of them, making Jun Zhi look as if he would shine, accompanied by a cool wind that came from nowhere and repeatedly blew the bangs on his forehead.
She saw him laughing.
Bao Le almost thought it was Shen Wangyan who was so special, but Shen Wangyan didn't have such skills.
Jun Zhi looked forward again, and there was a warm orange light under the archway in the distance. As time went by, the sun slowly rose from behind the house.The extremely dazzling golden-red outline was reflected in Junzhi's eyes, making his black eyes as vast as the deep sea instantly dyed the color of the sky.
She looked silly.
Thinking belatedly, could it be that he took her up to watch the sunrise because her morale was too low?In the environment of this barren village and haunted house?
Jun Zhi looked at the sunrise, Bao Le looked at Junzhi, and they stayed like this for a long time.
You have to ask for so long, did she see anything, won't lie to you, apart from being really good-looking, she really saw some tricks.
I don't know why, even if it is very unreasonable, but she can see the loneliness that has spanned thousands of years in his eyes. Although there is a smile on his face, the smile never enters his eyes.
She described it as a kind of solitude that has changed forever, but he has always been like the sun rising and setting every day, day after day, year after year, forever repeating, unchanging loneliness.
...
"Have you ever been to a comic convention?"
Jun Zhi was confused by her illogical question, and didn't understand what she was talking about, so he obediently shook his head.
Bao Le grinned and said: "The manga show is so fun, you can play in the cosplay of my little brother in a fair manner. You look so good-looking, there must be many girls who want to take pictures with you, and then we will set up a booth,Pay per head!"
Jun Zhi doesn't like crowds, and he also hates communicating with people. He even went to Yuan Baozhai to find Jiang Baole because of the task Shen Wangyan gave him, but he didn't hate what she just said.
If they can go back safely, what to do afterward is not so important.
