Rise in the glory of the king system

Chapter 612 July
Fire flows in July, and clothes are granted in September.

It is now the end of July, and it is reasonable to say that the weather should gradually cool down, but this year's high temperature is extremely violent, and there is no sign of "abdicating the throne to the virtuous".The girls in Jiaofang all wore short skirts and ran out to play during the summer vacation.

Qiao Ying and Jia Luo sat under the locust tree in the courtyard to enjoy the cool air, and there was an inscription on the table.Qiao Ying closed her eyes and talked about the past in a flat tone.

"...I was so desperate at that time that I even wanted to take my own life. Later, Zhuang Zhou, the sage of Jixia, gave me a carp and asked me to go to Chang'an to find the Book of Heaven. He said that in the Book of Heaven, there might be something about death. And the way to come back to life.”

"He said very carefully, maybe there will be, more likely not. I also know that he just gave me a hope of living. Maybe he is lying to me, but I am willing."

"He gave me spells and gave me the name of Ise Priestess. I was entrusted with more than that little selfishness."

After the story was finished, Qiao Ying still didn't open her eyes.The morning sun was so bright that she couldn't help but miss the person who slept forever at the bottom of the sea.

"The beauty of life is that it will end one day."

"I know, but I... can't help it." Qiao Ying smiled bitterly: "I understand, but my heart doesn't understand."

Jia Luo was silent for a moment, and took out a piece of letter paper from his arms: "Ah Li gave me a piece of paper before leaving, saying that it was given by a very powerful fortune-teller when he told her fortune. At that time, the fortune-teller said that this sentence It's about a visitor from afar near her."

Qiao Ying opened her eyes.

Jia Luo unfolded the letter paper and put it on the table: "I thought this sentence was for me, but it seems that it might be for you."

There is only one short sentence on the letter:

If the person you care about only exists in memory, it is a complete failure.

Ever since the student she admired the most left, Shangguan Wan'er felt a little lonely.To a certain extent, she felt that Gongsunli was very similar to her—a fragmented life experience, the obsession with repeating nightmares, and a desperate determination.

"The clues of the conspiracy are hidden in the pen and ink of the case." Shangguan Wan'er dried the calligraphy she had just written, hung it on the wall, then turned around and asked, "Five years have passed, will Mr. Di accept my complaint? "

Di Renjie nodded: "What happened back then was very involved. Now that the Holy Empress does not let go of power, it is difficult for me to take a single step by myself."

Shangguan Wan'er had expected such an answer, dipped in the ink and continued to write.Seemingly not in the mood to cut rice paper, she casually wrote on the straw paper on the table.At this time, a strange phenomenon happened: on another piece of straw paper at the end of the table, the same handwriting as Shangguan Wan'er was writing appeared.

It seems that there is an invisible pen swaying wantonly on the straw paper.

The two were taken aback at the same time.Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but stop the pen in her hand, and at the same time, the writing and ink on the paper also stopped.Shangguan Wan'er suddenly smiled: "Ah, I remembered it. This is a small spell that A Li developed a few days ago. As long as a spell is printed on the letter paper, it can be used to send messages thousands of miles away."

"Oh?" Di Renjie was very interested: "What is the name of this spell? What is the principle? How does it work?"

"She hasn't figured out the name yet, and I don't know the principle, let alone know how to use it." Wan'er's strength explained that she didn't know what to ask.

Di Renjie took a look at the two straw papers, and suddenly felt that visiting Shangguan Wan'er today was very rewarding.In this short moment, he had already thought of a hundred uses of this little spell, and he just waited for Gongsunli to come back and ask him carefully.

It has been twelve days since Baili entered the desert as promised.

The food and water in the backpack can only last for 20 days at most, but he still has no plans to return.The map said that after passing Yumen Pass, twenty miles further north, there was a small oasis.If he could make some supplies there, he might be able to go deeper.

Even though he knew that the farther he went, the greater the chance of finding Xuan Ce, he still wanted to go farther every time.To him, this daunting desert not only means the threat of death, but also means the people he cares about the most, and means the mistakes he has made.

To escape the heat of the day, he only travels at night.The further west you go, the sparser the vegetation.The red willows are gone, only sporadic seabuckthorn and Haloxylon trees left.The green completely disappeared from the eyes, and the eyes were full of golden yellow.

The sky suddenly broke, dyeing the eastern sky with a pale halo.Baili Shouyue began to look for a place to rest. His goal was the shady dunes. Rocks are the best. If there are no rocks, the north side of the dunes is also a good choice.

When we turned over the small sand dune in front of us, the sun had already jumped out of the horizon, and the temperature obviously began to rise.Keeping the promise, he slid down the sand dune, but when he was about to reach the bottom, he turned over and jumped suddenly—under the sand dune, for some reason, there was a rabbit.

This rabbit didn't look like a wild rabbit in the desert. Its coat was snow-white, and it was motionless with its eyes closed.Shou Yue wondered if he almost stepped on it just now, and wondered if the rabbit was dead.Of course, whether it was alive or dead, he didn't mind catching it and roasting it for today's dinner.

He approached gently, but the rabbit remained motionless.So he slung the shotgun back on his back and took out a saber which he held in his left hand.When the distance was close enough, he reached out and grabbed the rabbit's neck like lightning, and lifted it up.

The rabbit just fell asleep, not dead. It woke up when it was attacked. When it saw the saber in front of it, the fur on its whole body exploded in fright. It let out a short scream and began to struggle desperately.Keeping the promise is naturally impossible to let go of the rabbit in his hand, so he is ready to strike with a knife.At the moment when the blade barely scratched the skin, he suddenly felt his palm loosen, and he squeezed it, and there was nothing left in his hand.

At the same time, a cloud of pale orange smoke exploded violently, covering his sight.Keeping the promise, he quickly stepped back a few steps in a defensive manner, and at the same time took the gun, loaded it and opened the safety in one go.When the smoke cleared, he was surprised to find a beautiful girl with rabbit ears standing in front of him, clutching the wound on her neck and glaring at him angrily and aggrievedly.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and Shouyue spoke first: "...Hello."

Girl: "I'm not fine at all."

Her voice was hoarse, like two pieces of dry sandpaper rubbing against each other. It sounded like she hadn't drank water for several days.Shou promised to take off the water bottle from his waist and hand it to her, but she didn't take it and was still very vigilant.

"Uh...sorry." After all, I was at fault first, and I don't know how to gain the trust of this little rabbit.Keeping the promise thought for a while, opened the kettle and took a sip to show that the water was not poisonous, then handed it to the girl with rabbit ears.This time the girl took it, briefly rubbed the spout twice with her hand, and then started to drink unceremoniously.

After drinking enough water, the girl reluctantly thanked her.Shou Yue knew that she still had a grudge, so he didn't mind, so he introduced himself first: "I am the captain of the sniper team of the Great Wall Guards, Baili Shou Yue, and I also serve as... the cook."

The girl seemed to have never heard of the Great Wall Guards, nor the name Baili Shouyue, so she reported her family name without any reaction.

"Gongsunli, from Chang'an.""

The girl's tone sounded a little heroic to the guard.

The guard actually heard the smell of his captain from the girl.
