Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 1734 Bitter Fruit (Twenty-three)

The old lady was indeed very familiar with this place.

Not only did they hardly take any detours along the way, but even the lighted room not far away was so tightly covered that it was difficult for ordinary people to notice it.

During her many nighttime runs, she must have seen this more than once and had an idea of ​​it.

As for the reason why she took the initiative to light the lamp, it was very simple. After she was brought to the place, it was obvious that she was not going to go with her, so she gave her a lighting tool before leaving.

It's very thoughtful, but it's a pity that I seem to have scared people a little bit.

"You are hurt?"

The old lady turned around, looked up and down, and finally let out a cry of surprise.

  Oh?

Facing the multiple wounds on his body inflicted by the other party instead of the look on his face, Fu Qian was moved for a moment.

"It's okay, just a minor injury."

Of course this did not stop him from waving his hand to indicate that it was not a problem at all.

With his surgical skills and recovery ability, there is almost no visible wound at this moment, which is quite convincing.

"That's good... I'll give this to you."

After hesitating for a while, the kind-hearted old lady handed over the lantern and took a few more glances at Fu Qian's face.

"You are... a foreigner?"

And the next moment she seemed to finally realize something and was startled.

……

You really don’t recognize yourself?

In fact, at the moment of lighting the lamp, Fu Qian was worried that he might scare the old lady, not the injuries on his body, but his face.

That’s why the sound was changed a little bit initially.

The appearance is already strange enough, there is no need to add extra psychological pressure to people with the identity of outsiders.

However, the other party's first reaction after turning on the light and seeing him made Fu Qian feel vaguely that something was strange - the previous disguise seemed to be useless, and the other party did not recognize him.

This is not absolutely impossible. For example, in the healing dream, she once showed him the way, but that was just Dorian's casual setting and it never actually happened.

Even Dorian had every motivation to do so. After all, the theme of the dream was to try his best to not walk into the darkness and stay there until he was completely intoxicated in Hilaria's arms.

Such a setting can make you trust yourself to a greater extent.

But – what if it’s not?

What if I really came to Akons as a foreigner, asked the old lady for directions, and then went to the clinic for treatment?

So if she doesn't recognize herself at this moment, what this means is really terrifying when you think about it carefully.

You have to know that that is equivalent to the character setting that is stuffed into your own warehouse.

"Why do you ask? Do strangers often come to Arcons?"

After some calm thinking, Fu Qian did not rush to admit the old lady's question, but asked back casually.

"Not often. I haven't seen a stranger in a long time."

The old lady's originally surprised face showed a hint of strangeness, as if she was a little uncomfortable with the name Akons.

However, she quickly calmed herself down, looked at Fu Qian's face and shook her head slightly.

"But it's obvious that your face is very unfamiliar."

……

I really don’t know him.

Even the fact that "I haven't seen strangers for a long time" can largely rule out the possibility that only his appearance has changed. The old lady's answer made Fu Qian feel more and more that this place is special.

"Yes, I am a foreigner, but judging from your reaction just now, I think I shouldn't use the name Akons?"

The next moment he confessed his identity and expressed curiosity about the old lady's reaction.

I thought that this believer who was able to make the night pilgrimage would be more excited to hear this title.

"It has been a long time since this place was called this name, and of course I don't like the name Cold Mountain either."

It even seemed that the old lady was not too touched by the decline of the name Akons.

"Anyway, you'd better not mention it to anyone else."

"I get it, thank."

So after his faith was shattered, he actually changed his name to Lengshan. It sounds quite smooth.

While commenting in his mind, Fu Qian did not ask any more questions in response to the old lady's instructions and finally took the lantern.

"Outsiders usually don't come to this place. You should look for Dorian."

It seems that the old lady still likes polite people. She had no interest in talking and was about to leave, but she still gave one more reminder.

It was obvious that she couldn't understand why Fu Qian came here.

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

Fu Qian accepted the suggestion with a smile and followed it readily.

……

The old lady finally disappeared into the darkness, although her steps were a little staggering after all the hard work, and she did not choose to go to the edge of the town.

While watching this scene, Fu Qian pulled out a clot of blood from his shoulder and waist.

Considering the old lady's psychological endurance, he did not demonstrate it on the spot just now, which resulted in a little accumulation of energy.

dong dong!

After the simple processing, he did not waste any time and went straight to the destination and knocked on the door.

There was no doubt that the person inside was the dejected brother, even his posture was exactly the same as in the church.

  Boom boom boom!

There was no response, so Fu Qian continued knocking without being surprised.

Theoretically, the old lady's advice is correct.

Considering her unusual behavior, that is, she didn't recognize herself, the best thing to do now seems to be to rush back to Dorian and test and confirm some things.

Although the crying sound resounding in his will has not changed in intensity so far, the impact it has caused seems to be accumulating, and the frequency of "heart strikes" has become more and more frequent.

In this case, whether to waste time visiting the remaining people should theoretically be considered in terms of the pros and cons.

However, Fu Qian did not hesitate and chose to visit this taciturn man.

The reason was not that there was much to talk about with him, but something else in the room.

Long before the old lady lit the lamp, Fu Qian had already sensed that besides the owner of the room, there was also something peculiar behind the curtains.

And standing here at this moment, that feeling can be said to be even clearer.

Located right next to the dejected brother, it has the faint shape of a sword, sacred and cold, and of a very high rank.

This holy relic, which is obviously incompatible with the atmosphere of "Cold Mountain", is actually placed there. It is truly a picture that challenges the imagination.

Unfortunately, until now, the person involved still has not responded to the knocking on the door, as if he has already cut himself off from the world.

"Open the door, stranger."

Fu Qian didn't mind this and knocked a few more times.
