A carriage was moving slowly forward on the deserted gravel road.
In the dim carriage, Galan leaned on Lin Qiye's shoulder, looking through the curtains fluttering in the breeze at the vast and dazzling starry sky, lost in thought.
"Seven Nights."
"Um?"
"How long have we been traveling?"
"About a year."
"One year... Why does it feel like half a lifetime?" A look of reminiscence appeared in Jialan's eyes. "The scenery I have seen in this year is more than all the time in the past... and more exciting than all the experiences I have had in the past."
Jia Lan raised his head, and in the dim light, his beautiful eyes blinked at Lin Qiye.
"Thank you for bringing me out."
"Since you want to thank me, can you not give me the money today?"
"no!"
Galan glared at him angrily, stretched out his hand and twisted Lin Qiye's arm hard, and the latter cooperated by grinning and laughing awkwardly.
Jia Lan snorted and leaned his head on his shoulder again. ..
The carriage fell into silence.
"Qiye, I want to go back."
After a long time, Galan's gentle voice sounded again.
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly, "Why?"
"We have been traveling outside for a year. Although we have seen a lot of scenery, I am a little tired... I want to go back to Chang'an and have a good rest. And... I want to eat Chang'an's bean buns."
Lin Qiye's figure swayed slightly as the carriage jolted. He did not answer, but looked through the curtains swaying in the wind. After a moment, he said:
"Look, there is a beautiful lake ahead."
Jia Lan was startled, he lifted the curtain and looked outside, then said in surprise:
"Really? What a big lake..."
"Stop and take a look?"
"OK."
The carriage slowly stopped by the lake. Lin Qiye helped Galan get off the carriage. An endless lake lay quietly on the earth like a mirror. The stars in the sky were reflected on the lake, and the ripples caused by the breeze surged like broken silver.
Lin Qiye stopped to admire for a moment and picked up a pile of firewood from nearby. Jialan took out a set of tea sets from the carriage. The two of them cooperated with each other familiarly and began to brew tea leisurely in the evening breeze.
As the boiling hot water washed the tea leaves, a fresh fragrance spread by the lake. The two leaned against the outer wall of the carriage, looking at the starry sky, and felt their whole bodies relax.
"If you feel too tired on the road, we can find a place to stay for a few more days." After a moment, Lin Qiye said seriously, "There are still many places we haven't been to, Badong, Changsha, Guiyang..."
"We can go to these places later." Jia Lan said as a matter of course, "Why, after we go back this time, you won't take me out with you?"
Lin Qiye's body trembled slightly. He looked at the cup in his hand silently without saying a word.
"Besides, there are some things that I need to think about carefully when I return home..."
"What is it?"
Jia Lan glanced at Lin Qiye, a blush appeared on her cheeks in the dark, and she glanced away: "I won't tell you!"
The blush in the darkness naturally could not be hidden from Lin Qiye's eyes. He raised his eyebrows and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth...
At this moment, a low roar slowly came from above the clouds.
Jia Lan and Lin Qiye's faces changed at the same time and they looked up at the sky.
“Here it comes again…” Galan pursed his lips.
“It’s really haunting!”
A fierce look appeared in Lin Qiye's eyes. He turned around and grasped the sword of Ama-Kushu that slipped out of his sleeve, and a murderous intent swept out!
Over the past year or so, the arrival of Mi-gos has been extremely regular. No matter where the two of them travel, they always have to rush to find a wilderness to get rid of these annoying Mi-gos, and all their happiness and leisure will come to an abrupt end.
"It seems different this time?" Jia Lan looked at the surging clouds and asked in confusion, "Those clouds... look like an eye?"
These words flashed through Lin Qiye's mind like lightning. He raised his head suddenly and saw a vortex of time and space flowing slowly in the dark clouds, stirring the surrounding clouds like a hideous and terrifying giant eye.
Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly contracted!
Of course he recognized that space-time vortex. When he had just obtained the [Unprovoked Cause] and the [Predetermined Result] a year ago, the [Key to the Door] had attacked him through this space-time vortex across the long river of time, trying to kill him on the spot... Now, "He" was actually going to attack him again? ?
How could this happen? Who is His target?
Lin Qiye's hair stood up all over his body. He stood in front of Galan, his eyes fixed on the rotating vortex of time and space, and the sword of Ama-no-Kuromo was tightly grasped in his hand.
But what was different from the last time was that after the space-time vortex appeared, it did not form a thundercloud. Instead, it was like an eye, constantly searching for something on the earth, as if it was a little confused... After a moment, His gaze swept in the direction of Lin Qiye and the other person, passed by Lin Qiye's body, paused on Galan for a moment, and then the terrifying aura gradually dissipated.
The vortex of time and space faded little by little, and a group of Migos flew in from the clouds. After confirming that [Key to the Door] did not take action, Lin Qiye finally relaxed, with a little cold sweat on his forehead.
There are only nine Mi-Gos this time. Compared with the overwhelming force in the past, it seems like they are just playing.
Lin Qiye used the sword Ama-no-Kurokumo and easily killed these Mi-Gos, but his expression was still extremely solemn.
"Qiye...what is that thing?" Galan still hadn't recovered from the terrifying aura of that eye, and his face turned a little pale.
"He has already noticed something..." Lin Qiye murmured to himself.
"Notice what?"
"The cause and effect that I have hidden."
Jia Lan also participated in the incident in the ruined temple, so she naturally understood what Lin Qiye meant. She stood there in a daze for a while and asked tentatively:
"Is it because of... me? Those Mi-gos have been following me, so He found out?"
Lin Qiye slowly closed his eyes and said nothing.
"What should we do?" Jia Lan asked anxiously, "Qiye, can you hide me as you hid them?"
"If I could do it, I would have done it long ago." Lin Qiye sighed, "But the cause and effect between [Immortal Pill] and the restraint system is extremely difficult to hide, at least I can't do it now."
Galan's face looked extremely ugly. She frowned and thought for a while, then pulled out a dagger from her waist, transferred [Immortality] to it, and stabbed it towards her abdomen!
Lin Qiye grabbed her wrist quickly, frowned and said:
"What are you doing?"
"You can't ruin your arrangement because of me." Jia Lan said firmly, "Since you can't hide it, destroy it!"
"Do you want to refine yourself back into a pill?!" Lin Qiye snatched the dagger from Galan's hand and said angrily.
Jia Lan pursed his lips and looked at Lin Qiye with eyes full of stubbornness.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "Actually, there might be another way..."
