Embers Ad Infinitum

Gallolan said calmly:

"I don't know what the monster is called. If I answer hastily, I will only mislead you.

"The only thing I can say about this matter is to maintain a gentle and humble attitude, face it with a tolerant attitude, and don't be reckless or arrogant. This is only for the weak."

Although she was speaking in Red River dialect this time and her words were no longer so eloquent, she still heard Gray, Waite and Fals startled for a moment. They both thought it made sense, but also felt that it was not the same as ordinary people's advice. What a big difference, it's just that some simple words are packaged in a very classy way.

At this time, Shang Jianyao turned his head and looked at Long Yuehong:

"What do you want to ask?"

How did you know I had a question? Wait, why do I ask? Long Yuehong struggled internally for a while, and finally couldn't help but said:

"Taoist Priest, don't you think there is a stylistic difference between what you described and reality?"

In fact, he is no stranger to "seals", and Di Marco seems to be trapped in the "underground ark" because of this. However, it involves the execution of the year, the principle is not clear, and no one uses religious language to package it, so it does not sound so inconsistent.

Gallolan was not angry and said with a smile:

"Everyone has a different understanding of the world. Yours may not be wrong, and mine may not be right. Everyone has their own way. There is nothing to argue about."

Your answer makes me feel like a fool... Long Yuehong opened his mouth and muttered in his heart.

This is because Gallolan’s words reminded him of a joke in old world entertainment materials:

Someone asked a wise man: How to convince those fools?

The wise answer: There is no need to convince them, and it is impossible to convince them. It will only waste your time. I usually stop explaining, choose to echo, and say to them: Well, you are right.

Someone objected: How can this be done? You are escaping from reality and not facing the problem head on!

The wise man replied: Well, you are right.

Jialolan glanced at Long Yuehong and added a few words:

"All cognitions are just appearances. What we need to do is to find the existence of Tao from these cognitions, to feel and understand until we gain something..."

Seeing that Long Yuehong, Gray and others all looked confused, Jialolan stopped explaining and said with a smile:

"To put it in the simplest terms, it is to see the essence through the phenomenon."

Jiang Baimian promptly stopped this one-sided "discussion" and started greeting with a smile:

"Taoist Priest, after the worship is over, do you plan to wander around the ruins of this city again, or are you ready to leave?"

After listening carefully, Gallolan suddenly smiled and said:

"I was just happy with the situation and had no clear destination, but when you said that, I suddenly remembered that the First City is nearby. I have been away for many years, and since I passed by, let's go back and take a look."

She didn't explain that this was another sense of letting things go. Anyway, to her, it didn't matter what others thought of her.

Having said this, Gallolan turned around, lit the still smoking incense stick, and saluted three times in a certain direction.

Jiang Baimian and others noticed that that direction basically coincided with the area where the "Dao and Electrical Maintenance" radio station was located.

"I've finished my worship and it's time to leave." Jialolan looked at the incense sticks that had burned to the end and said to the "Old Tune Team" with a smile.

Then, she bowed again:

"No one has himself, and a new world is just around the corner."

After saying that, she slowly walked towards the road where the two teams came from.

After walking nearly ten meters, she turned back and reminded:

"There are many powerful monsters here. Although they are not as powerful as that one, they are not easy to deal with. You'd better not run around."

Taoist Priest, if you are so easy-going, you must have encountered many powerful monsters, right? The last time they met, Long Yuehong didn't realize how strong Gallolan was, but after going through all kinds of things, he found that this man could walk on the ground in extremely dangerous places such as Swamp No. 1 Ruins and Wasteland No. 13 Ruins. It must be more difficult for a Taoist priest to go freely than he thought.

Even if he is not as good as Du Heng, he is definitely one of the best in the "Sea of ​​Origins".

That was Jia Luolan who didn't know the "soul corridor" at that time. Long Yuehong had no way of guessing what level she had reached now.

"Understood." Jiang Baimian responded to Jialolan with a smile.

After watching Jia Luolan, whose blond hair was casually pulled into a bun, disappear around the corner of the street, Shang Jianyao suddenly sighed:

"She went to face herself."

"Ah?" Jiang Baimian was stunned at first, and then understood what Shang Jianyao was talking about.

Gallolan went to the neighborhood "as she pleased", not only because of the arrangement of fate, but also because of her own subconscious.

She may have reached the end of the "Sea of ​​Origins" and needs to face the part of herself she least wants to face.

And that she is obviously "rooted" in the "Primary City".

Since you can't escape, then face it.

The reason why Shang Jianyao sighed was because he had not made any progress in this area, and he still could not convince him, defeat him or tolerate him.

Wang Fugui and Gray's expressions changed slightly after hearing this, but they didn't say anything, while Waite and Fals looked a little confused.

At this time, the incense sticks fixed to the railing by a ball of black mud had almost burned out and turned into gray-white fine powder.

"From the 'Eternal Years' sect?" Wang Fugui looked away and asked.

It's hard not to think of this behavior and conversation in him.

"You are so knowledgeable." Shang Jianyao praised.

Accompanying the praise is the ever-present applause.

Are you confirming my guess, or are you just talking about him? Wang Fugui was temporarily confused about the actual meaning of Shang Jianyao's compliment.

"That's what she said. We don't know whether it is true or not." Jiang Baimian added for Shang Jianyao.

At this moment, a frightened voice sounded from somewhere in the ruins of the city:

"Help!

"Help!"

This is in Honghe dialect, which gives people a heart-wrenching feeling.

"Do you want to go?" Shang Jianyao turned his head and asked Jiang Baimian.

Jiang Baimian looked at the place where the sound came from, considered and said:

"It's hundreds of meters away.

"If you continue in that direction, you will soon exceed the two-kilometer limit."

Two kilometers is the exploration limit agreed upon by the two teams in advance. Once exceeded and in danger, they will not have enough physical strength to run back to the exit.

Phew, the team leader is quite sane... Moreover, who knows whether the person calling for help is a human or a monster... Long Yuehong praised Jiang Baimian in her heart.

In fact, if someone really begs for help in front of him, and he has certain abilities, he may not be able to bear it, but since he doesn't see the person and only hears the voice, he won't be embarrassed or soft-hearted.

Shang Jianyao immediately exhaled and did not refute.

At this time, Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

“But we can still go in that direction, but we just don’t exceed the limit and stay within the two kilometers.

"If the person asking for help is lucky enough to meet us, then we can save him by the way."

Shang Jianyao immediately smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Xiaohong is here!"

Hello! Long Yuehong expressed dissatisfaction in her heart.

"I have no objection." Bai Chen agreed to this plan.

Gray and others looked at each other and didn't support, but they didn't object either.

For them, as long as there are supplies to collect on the road, they all feel that the chance of someone seeking help meeting them and others is very low.

Besides, if something goes wrong, they don't plan to live and die with Xue Shiyue's team.

Wang Fugui thought for a while, nodded slightly and said:

"also."

He immediately glanced at the four members of the "Old Tune Group" and said with a smile:

"You are kinder than I thought..."

On dust, this is a good quality, but not a useful one.

Shang Jianyao responded to him with a smile:

"Do you know what our real goal is?"

"What?" Wang Fugui asked curiously.

Shang Jianyao's expression became solemn:

"Save all mankind!"

"..." Wang Fugui, Gray, Waite and Fals were stunned for two seconds and cheered "Haha".

What a good joke!

The two teams began to slowly move in that direction, breaking car windows and picking up corpses along the way, collecting various valuable and easy-to-carry items, including but not limited to gold, technical information, useful books, unopened intact components, There are things that use special alloys.

After walking three to four hundred meters like this, a figure suddenly appeared in Long Yuehong's eyes.

The figure stumbled towards this side, constantly looking back, as if being chased by something extremely terrifying.

He is about the same height as Long Yuehong. He wears a linen shirt with extra bags sewn on. He has gray hair and dark brown eyes. He holds a shotgun in his hand.

Felinton!

He is the relic hunter Felin Tong that the "Old Tune Team" is looking for.

"What happened?" Shang Jianyao asked loudly while picking up the "Berserker" assault rifle.

Felinton turned his head, saw them, and shouted hurriedly:

"Help! There's a monster!"

"There is nothing behind you." Jiang Baimian reminded Shang Jianyao before he could scare him.

Felinton gasped:

"I'll catch up soon!"

There are no medium or large creatures within a few dozen meters... Jiang Baimian muttered, following the path of kindness:

"Then let's retreat to the square before."

Returning all the way to the place where Jialolan worshiped his master, Felintong saw that no monsters were chasing him. He finally relaxed a little and was no longer so nervous and scared.

"What exactly did you see?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Felinton took a deep breath and said:

“I escaped from the White Wolf’s puppet and entered here, wanting to collect supplies and expired food while finding another way out.

“As a result, I have seen many corpses in the past few days, corpses that have not been dead for a long time.

"Some of them cut their arteries with glass shards, some shot themselves to death, some were doused with gasoline and burned alive..."

The rest of the suicides? Long Yuehong thought with a solemn expression.

Felinton continued:

"This scared me, I didn't dare to stay any longer, and I quickly started looking for a way out. Just now, I was on a street and saw, saw..."

The fear from before gradually reappeared on his face:

"Saw a living person."
