Chapter 387 Listen to Destiny
The ship sails in the desert. In fact, most of the time, the stone hand feels that the ship is just floating. Only when the power of flying is about to run out, he will click the sand under his feet and continue to fly. At first, the stone hand could roughly distinguish the direction of flight, but in the strong wind, after the ship made several violent rounds, the stone hand could not distinguish. But he knew that the ship did not enter the black desert symbolizing death from beginning to end.
The stone hand even feels that even these strong winds and dancing sand grains are only moving on this side of the dividing line, and the black side will never be set foot. That's like an absolutely dead area, and even the inanimate thing will be feared. After sailing for about half an hour, the stone hand could no longer see the black desert, but the wailing around it became clearer and clearer. It seemed that the wind here was mixed with the saddest roar of the dead. The stone hand did not understand why.
In fact, he didn't understand anything. He didn't understand why the ship left by itself and what the focus of this journey was. After the end of his efforts, all he could do was to obey his fate.
At this time, the sky was a little dark, and Shishou's stomach began to be hungry. His dry food and drinking water were on his body, but with his broken left and right hands, there was no way to take them out. Of course, he can roll on the ground and shake these things out, but in that case, he will undoubtedly be thrown out of the boat. No matter what, he was determined not to go down the boat. Shishou made up his mind not to eat or drink. He believed that even if he fainted, the crescent would help him support him for a period of time. Thinking about it, he felt much more confident.
But obviously, Zhang Shu did not want Shishou to fall into such a Jedi. Shishou vaguely saw that there was light coming in front of him. At this time, there was still a layer of sand around the ship, and his eyes could not see too far. Now the sky is not very dark. He can see the light, which means that there are people in front of him, and this place is very close.
The ship sailed for a moment, and the stone hand was able to see the source of light. It was a city. The city has black walls, and like ships, you can't see what the materials are. After approaching the city, the ship began to move along the edge of the city wall. The stone hands could clearly feel that the oldness of the city wall was not the same. Half of the walls could be relatively new, while others were much older.
This can also be seen because stone hands often deal with houses when they are in Osmanthus Building. Although painting and other methods can blur the old and new, the wear and tear of the building surface is inevitable. The wall in the desert must have been polished by wind and sand countless times. The degree of polishing of the two parts of the wall is obviously different, and there is an obvious dividing line.
The boat circled to the relatively old city wall, as if knowing the road, and drilled in through a small entrance. As soon as the ship entered the city wall, the stone hand felt that the wind and sand around him suddenly became much smaller. After the air stopped, the stone hand realized that the destination of the journey should be here.
It was at this time that he saw the residents of the city. The first time he saw these people, he felt depressed. Because no matter how tall, short, fat or thin, they walk with their heads down, and they all wear the same robes, which adds a little strangeness to the scenery in front of them. When the residents saw the ship on which Shishou was riding, they stopped in a hurry. Then, they all slowly raised their heads and stared wide. Shishou was a little hairy by such eyes. Then, he heard the exclaim of those people: "Ghost boat." The silent and regular residents like dummy began to run away. Except for the "ghost ship", the most common sentence Shishou heard from them was "the mute back".
mute? Who is the mute? Shishou is a little strange. Although he hasn't said anything since he came in, it doesn't mean that he is mute. There is only one person on the ship. The mute is not talking about the stone hand. Who will it be... No, there is more than one person on the ship, and there is another one in the stern, although he is just an iron skeleton. Yes, it must be so. The residents here know this skeleton and call him mute. So, is there really a pair of steel bones in life? I don't know where his "mute" name came from. Is he really dumb or just not willing to speak?
While the stone hand was thinking about these, the ship continued to fly forward, and the residents they met along the way fled after a brief silence. Shishou could not jump off the boat, because after jumping, with his current physical strength, he would not be able to catch up again, but he wanted to talk to these residents, so he could only try to communicate by shouting.
But... his words were stuck in his mouth and he couldn't shout out. Shishou is a little anxious. He really hasn't really spoken for many days. It's enough to communicate with the crescent moon with his brain. Shishou even doubts whether he has lost the ability to speak. If so, it will be really troublesome. But at the same time, he found that the fleeing residents were also silent. In this area, the residents no longer shouted "ghost boats" or even made a natural sound because of fear. It's like everyone has become mute. Shishou vaguely realized that there seemed to be some forbidden spell here, like the dilemma in his throat entangling everyone who passed through here.
At the same time, he also found that the ground here is no longer sandy, but hard. The reason why I can find this is that the red ghost in the sky shines again, and the color of the things around me has changed dramatically. If the ship is sliding on the sand, it can barely be said, but the ship still maintains such a fast speed on the hard ground, which makes the stone hand a little worried. In particular, after entering the city, the ship has no intention of slowing down, but the speed has increased slightly. The ship rushes forward like crazy. , as if looking for its enemy.
Shishou has realized something. After all, such a voyage will only produce the only result, which is to hit something. The only suspense left now is what will hit. During the voyage of the ship, there is no nostalgia for this old city. It will not even make a turn at a certain intersection, but move forward along the road. If it is not for the direction of the road itself, it will never change direction. The stone hand looked back, and the two red lights at the eye socket of the skeleton burned brighter. In the process of the rapid march, a long drag shadow was pulled out, like two little red ghosts. Against this scene, the inanimate iron skeleton turned into a vengeful hero in the night, driving a warship and charging forward.
The stone hand echoed the direction just now in his mind. He basically judged that the direction of the ship's charge should be the relatively new city wall, but in this case, why not enter through the gate of the new city? There will never be only one door to such a big city.
Shishou is wondering, and the answer has appeared in front of him. The road along the ship came to an end, but it did not stop. Instead, the part of the stern began to burn, which made the ship twice as fast as before. The whole ship is like a shooting star, moving forward with a roar that breaks through the air and anger. Shishou has seen what is in front of him. It is a wall, a wall that can't see the left and right ends.
At the current speed of the ship, it is impossible to complete any steering. It seems that it is ready to crash here. Shishou knew that it was time for him to get off the ship, otherwise, he would definitely be smashed to pieces. Although the result of jumping off such a fast ship may not be much better, it is much better than this kind of unknown jade burning. The determined stone hand began to turn down the boat hard, and the fingers of both hands almost lost their functions, which made the original simple movements extremely difficult. Even so, the stone hand also understood that he had to do this.
For good, there were some uneven parts on the boat gang, which was convenient for the stone hand to jam his right hand on it. With this power, he overturned out of the boat in confusion. The fast speed made him roll many circles on the ground before stopping after leaving the ship, which made every joint on his body feel severe pain, and even when he breathed, he felt heartbreaking. It seems that a few ribs have been broken. On the way to the west, Shishou once heard Jianghu visitors have a simple way to judge the extent of their injuries.
However, this is not enough to be fatal. Shishou understands that even if there is no help, he can survive for a period of time. His eyes stared at the burning ship. After the stone hand left the ship, the flame of the stern spread to the middle of the ship. The whole iron skeleton stood in the sea of fire, with towering and powerful movements. The flashing red light in his eyes was more bright red than the hottest flame. The ship ushered in the last acceleration, and then hit the front On this wall.
The earth-shaking sound came, and the stone hand felt a huge sound wave. His clothes were blown by the sound, his ears lost their ability to listen at that moment, and the buzzing sound made a lot in his head. The huge smoke made the stone hand unable to see the result of the matter. He waved his sleeves to quickly see who was the winner of the battle between the ship and the wall.
This made him wait for a long time. The pain of his broken ribs was so painful that he could hardly maintain his breathing, but his eyes were still round. After a long wait, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the result appeared.
The wall has been hit with a big opening, and the ship just on board has also turned into fragments. However, the iron skeleton still exists.
