bit stealing game

Chapter 83 Tengu eats the moon

After the storm, the sky was surprisingly clear. The clouds that had not dispersed seemed to be made of torn silk, weaving in the stars and covering the sky with brocade.

I couldn't fall asleep. When Li Yuan sat up suddenly, I turned around and looked at him.

"Look, the stars are out!" Li Yuan pointed to the night sky. The crown of bright stars intertwined reflected in his eyes, which made them pale.

I blinked.

Li Yuan stretched out his hand towards me. When the moon had just risen, because the pain was too much, Li Yuan broke off a wall brick. The fragment that had been tempered by wind and sand for thousands of years cut his palm. The blood in his palm was

It's like breaking off a section of the moonlight, and it's like offering blood to the moonlight.

I used my strength to stand up. The moonlight was very cold and his hands were very hot.

"Are you sure we want to go find that temple now?" I looked at him, expecting an impossible answer.

Li Yuan shook his head: "I can't leave you here."

This meant that he had to leave. I sighed, and my helplessness was immediately embodied by the cold.

"Then let's go," I stamped my feet, "I won't be able to leave if I wait a little longer."

Li Yuan stood there motionless.

"Why are you so stubborn?" I glared at him.

Li Yuan opened his mouth and his eyes wandered. I raised my legs to leave when I heard him say he wanted to give me his pants.

"What?" I thought I heard wrong.

"If you're cold, I'll give you my pants. Anyway, I won't freeze to death in Antarctica."

I was stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment. Even if Zhou Bapi couldn't do it, he couldn't even take off someone's pants.

The two of us pushed each other for a long time, and Li Yuan suppressed his words: "I'm wearing long johns." His jade-like face was already reddened by the moonlight, and embarrassment only added color to it.

I was wrapped in a coat donated by Li Yuan that exuded luxury and was both comfortable and fashionable. I looked at his torn old man's shirt again. Underneath this glamorous and foreign appearance, there was such a nostalgic lining.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Li Yuan didn't wait for me to finish laughing. He took off his underwear and handed it to me while holding his neck. Ordinarily, he wouldn't look good wearing only long johns, but Li Yuan was still slim. But no matter what

We are going to meet up with 279 and others. This look is offensive even for Li Yuan's figure. He could have given it to me with his long johns, but I don't want my face.

Li Yuan's face was burning badly, but his eyes were extremely serious.

"Put it on quickly, it will be even colder in the second half of the night."

I was choked by his insistence. In the end, we both turned our backs. Li Yuan gave away his long johns and kept his outer pants. I put his long johns into my pants.

Don't mention it, wearing an extra layer will keep you much warmer. Li Yuan stared at me and took off the bandage from under the old man's shirt. The dry strip of cloth was wrapped around my neck with his body temperature and blood.

.

Now Li Yuan was satisfied, and we finally set off on the road.

The endless yellow sand holds up a grand moon. The stars are dimming, but they are still astonishingly bright.

The faceless sand dunes are undulating like waves. Time cannot change this desert in the slightest, and the sand that has accumulated for tens of millions of years has not yet finished falling. It was the same tens of millions of years ago, and it will probably be the same tens of millions of years later, and we are just passers-by.

How can the desert be merciful to passers-by? The winds blowing from different directions are not kind, they are all like weapons, and they are attacking me in different ways. There are at least two kilograms of smuggled sand in my boots.

It was blown around again by the wind, and then it simply stuck to Li Yuan's body.

In the cold desert, Li Yuan was like a moving warm baby. The moonlight heated the steel until it rolled away, pouring it into his bones. Those immortal stars refused to open their eyes.

If it weren't for the light of the stars and the moon, the darkness would seem endless. But the threat from those celestial bodies is no less than the darkness itself. The silent wilderness made me uneasy, so I looked for the moon's heater to request songs.

Li Yuan looked up from time to time to confirm the North Star that had guided the pharaohs four thousand years ago. I tried to persuade the pharaohs for a long time, but he refused to speak up. Later, the two of them chatted casually, looking at the stars and sharing the past.

Sunshine.

We walked and walked, and before the zenith of the moon, some strange boulders appeared in the uniform sand dunes. Those black stones were divided into two rows in an orderly manner, arranged on the road guided by the North Star.

"It doesn't look like it was formed naturally." I became more energetic.

Li Yuan nodded. "You stand behind me, let's go over and take a look."

When you look closer, you can see that those dark boulders are sunk deep on both sides of the dry river, and the part exposed above the ground is as high as two people. There are indeed traces of artificial carvings on them, but nature took over thousands of years ago.

, now weathered and unrecognizable.

Based on their general outlines, I feel that these huge rocks were probably stone statues a long time ago, or even unknown gods whose true faces we have never seen.

Along the way, except for this group of statues, we didn’t see any signs of human activity. The two rows of stone statues stretched, with the North Star sandwiched in between, as if they were inviting us, or asking us, to follow their gaze.

Go down and walk over.

I stared at the endless stone statues, my heart beating faster and faster. But I couldn't tell whether the noisy emotion was fear or anticipation.

Li Yuan walked to the river bed, took a look, and said to me: "I'll go down and have a look first. If the porcelain is solid, you can come down later."

"No, let me go. If there is mud underneath, I won't be able to pull you up if you get stuck." I faced Li Yuan's disapproving look and said, "Stop chirping, we don't have time to waste."

Fortunately, the river bed was also covered in countless layers of sand. I stood firmly on the ground and took two steps. Li Yuan was relieved and landed beside me lightly and let go of his hand.

In fact, the gap between the river bed and the bank is not too big, but the half-buried stone statues on both sides tightly blocked us inside, like a deep canyon, and the sky became narrow when we walked in.

The moon has not yet climbed to this height. Walking among the thin and tall stone statues, only a few stars can be seen above the head, and the outdated Polaris is the brightest one. In addition, not even light can enter the river, which is full of water.

A sense of foreboding. It felt like being locked in a coffin, and the stars were the astrological patterns dotted on the lid of the Pharaoh's coffin.

Li Yuan showed no fear at all, and I didn't want to show weakness, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep walking.

My vision was so poor that I accidentally tripped. Plus there was no food in my stomach, so I leaned straight to the side. Li Yuan reacted quickly and picked me up, but instinctively I had already put my hand on the river.

Beside the bed.

The touch under my hand was not like the fertile soil deposited by the Nile River, but rather cold and smooth. It was the exposed lower half of the stone statue. I was startled and wanted to retract my hand. Suddenly there was a howl of a wolf from all around. That shrill howl.

It penetrated the gloomy bones of the colossus, and a chill crawled down the spine and throughout the body.

The fog filled the air and was so thick that it couldn't be broken. The fog actually appeared in the arid and barren desert. This abnormality was really shocking.

I looked up and saw that a full moon had climbed over the canyon of stone statues at some point. The full moon seemed to be torn apart by something, and turned into a wound in the sky, and the precious moonlight spilled out.

The radiance of light is like the beating heart of a seriously injured person who is about to die, but it is just in vain to let the blood leave the gray body faster.

The dripping moonlight poured down along the river bank, dyeing the ubiquitous fog with color. The sound of galloping suddenly started, and it seemed like countless boulders were rolling down from the sky.

I was shocked and looked at Li Yuan, hoping that this was just my imagination. In Li Yuan's equally shocked eyes, my luck was washed away by the roaring river water.

"Run!"

Before I could finish my words, Li Yuan picked me up and ran away.

The roaring river swallowed us up in one gulp. The water was so high that it could wet the moon.

I was lucky enough to bathe with the moon, and the feeling of suffocation was so familiar that I couldn't be wary. The difference is that this time, Li Yuan was also involved in this story. At this moment, we were like a small boat on a long-abandoned and forgotten river.

Backtrace.

Li Yuan quickly calmed down. After observing the surrounding environment, he even tried to climb up to have a look at an "island" floating on the water. I have always only been an audience in this kind of small theater.

I didn’t expect that I could add my own drama. After being surprised, I followed Li Yuan and climbed onto the floating island.

This was actually a big, golden ship. It was loaded with a dazzling array of gold and silver, as well as some very familiar minerals. I didn’t dare to touch it. Logically speaking, it is impossible for such a ship to float on the water. In fact, it did not float.

There were several boats connected with ropes in all directions, and the golden boat was dragged and pretended to be set up on the river all the way.

Among all the sacrifices, there is an altar that you need to look up to see. On the lotus-shaped altar is a statue of a god, with his face half-hidden in the white mist as if holding a pipa. I have long since

I didn't expect to see the true face of this god, so I wasn't very disappointed.

The stone statues on both sides of the river bank should have been erected after the river channel. The well and pool of water in the temple that Li Yuan and I saw in the evening may be a mine itself. And this ancient river channel may be used to transport minerals as sacrifices.

Send the gift to the god who cannot be named directly.

Li Yuan stood among the sacrifices, looking across from the statue. His eyes were cold and distant, like the frost falling on the stone in the long night. The full moon hung high above the dense stone cliff. In the cool mist,

Li Yuan, the sacrifices, and the statues are not so clear.

The huge stone statues with solemn expressions on both sides of the bank watched us two people from another world being included in the sacrifices, and were also carried by the Nile River towards the direction of the Big Dipper.

But water also comes to an end. The river suddenly cuts off.

There is a description in the ancient Egyptian funerary text "The Book of the Gates": "Anubis swallowed his father", so the moon will disappear completely.

In fact, it is about lunar eclipses. Many ancient civilizations used myths as a way to explain nature.
