Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 684: The Eternal Night at the End

Deep in the uninhabited desert.

At the end of the Gobi Desert where no grass grows.

A plain ox cart slowly stopped, and a figure in white stepped out. At this moment, he was walking on the vast Gobi Desert, looking at the endless darkness at the end of the desert and the Gobi Desert, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Sir, it's still daytime, why is it dark at the end?"

Jiuge asked with surprise on his face.

At the end of the desert and Gobi, there is a rough black line that looks a bit weird.

"This is the night at the end of the desert and Gobi. It is said that the night at the end of the desert and Gobi is eternal and there is never daytime. It is also called the eternal night..."

Feng Qingyan hesitated for a moment and said.

After a while.

Instead he turned and looked back.

At this moment, standing in the vast Gobi Desert, Feng Qingyan felt indescribably open and comfortable.

However, walking into the Gobi Desert is like entering a primitive wilderness. It is desolate and lifeless. But under the blue sky, the Gobi Desert is gray and black, with different ups and downs. The lines are very magnificent, full of the charm of the sea and the majesty of the mountains...

This made Feng Qingyan sigh.

"Let's go."

Feng Qingyan walked forward step by step.

Jiuge and Qingmang hurriedly followed, looking around curiously, and were equally amazed in their hearts.

In that vast Gobi Desert that seems to have no end.

From time to time, you can see ancient rock sheets, which are full of the turbulent years of the Gobi Desert, forming wind-blasted stones with typical desert temperament.

Touching it with your hands, you can feel the warmth and mellowness of the stone, the majesty of the mountains, and the agility of the water.

The wind-blown rocks are the masterpieces of the Gobi Desert's strong winds.

This is due to the strength and tenacity of the Gobi wind and the wonders of nature.

The wind is invisible, but the matter it blows out is tangible. Over the years, the gravel in the desert has been eroded by the sand carried by the wind, gradually forming angular wind-blown stones of various shapes.

Feng Qingyan stopped to watch from time to time.

I feel so many emotions in my heart.

At the end of the desert and Gobi, even in summer, it is still a bleak and desolate scene. A few sparse yellow weeds can hardly cover the yellow sand everywhere, and the ruthless Gobi wind savagely attacks the dry and desolate land...

This made him feel like he had returned to ancient times.

In a trance.

He seemed to sense a bit of ancient atmosphere, as if the end of the desert and Gobi was really a mysterious ancient land.

Rumbling--

In an instant, the originally clear blue sky was immediately covered with layers of dark clouds, as if they were pressing down from the sky, making people feel a sense of oppression.

"The dark clouds in the desert are scary. They seem to be pressing down on us."

Jiuge shrank his neck and said.

Qing Mang nodded in agreement and was also shocked by the rolling dark clouds that appeared at this moment.

slam-la-

But in a moment, heavy rain poured down.

But at this moment, Feng Qingyan was still standing on a wind-blown stone, looking at the dark night at the end of the desert and Gobi.

That night was a mysterious night, a night that no one in the world could understand.

It is rumored that in the mysterious night, there is a terrible extreme cold, even a scholar at the level of a minister may not be able to withstand it...

"Hey, that's strange. Since there is such heavy rain at the end of the Gobi Desert, why is it still so desolate, with almost no grass growing?"

In the heavy rain, Qing Mang asked with a puzzled look on his face.

But in just a moment, it rained so heavily and it hasn't stopped yet. The amount of rain is quite large.

"That's a little weird indeed."

Jiuge nodded. He was also in the heavy rain but did not seek shelter. He said, "This amount of rainfall can at least last for three or four months. It only needs to rain three or four times a year. The end of the Gobi Desert should become a grassland..."

"Strange."

Qing Mang's face was full of confusion.

But while it was wondering, the heavy rain suddenly stopped without any warning, leaving it looking up at the sky in confusion.

I saw the dark clouds in the sky dissipate immediately.

The scorching sun appeared again.

"Uh……"

Qing Mang was stunned.

At this moment, even Jiuge was a little stunned. Didn’t the day change too quickly?
However, the desert climate can change drastically in an instant, sometimes the weather is clear, and sometimes it is windy and sandy.

No one can predict it.

Especially at the end of the desert and Gobi, things can change in an instant.

zizi——

It only takes a cup of tea.

Qingmang and Jiuge saw white mist rising from the Gobi Desert beneath their feet.

"This is a bit scary, isn't it?" Qing Mang stared, frightened by the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but said: "Jiuge, isn't this evaporation too scary? The water mist is rising in waves, which is more terrifying than boiling water..."

It couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Although the sun was blazing, the evaporation shouldn't be so terrible. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, all the rain that had just fallen had evaporated...

“Is it because the rain evaporated too quickly?”

Jiuge seemed to understand something.

and.

But in the blink of an eye, Jiuge's clothes were dry.

Feng Qingyan retracted his gaze and said, "Let's go."

"Sir, what were you looking at?"

Jiuge asked curiously.

The gentleman was quite absorbed in what he was watching just now.

"Look at the eternal night."

Feng Qingyan walked forward step by step, and couldn't help but look at the darkness at the end. This darkness was indeed very mysterious, and seemed to be full of weirdness, which made him a little unable to see through it.

"What did you see, sir?"

Jiuge asked.

"This is not an ordinary dark night. I'm afraid that no light can be illuminated in the dark night."

Feng Qingyan hesitated for a moment and said.

"what?"

Jiuge was a little shocked and asked quickly: "What about Wen Guang?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult..."

Feng Qingyan shook his head.

Although he has not entered the eternal darkness at this moment, he has felt the horror of the eternal darkness. No wonder Zhoutianxia and Kutuotian have no communication with each other.

Logically speaking, there should always be a great sage or scholar who can walk through the eternal night...

but.

In the past two thousand years, he had never heard of anyone from Ku Tuo Tian coming to Zhou Tianxia. Moreover, there was no news about Ku Tuo Tian in the Western Regions...

It seems really isolated.

Even if it is not absolute isolation, it is almost absolute isolation.

Maybe there is still a way forward.

But it may require extremely great, even incredible luck.

Feng Qingyan, on the other hand, felt that he was quite lucky.

and.

He felt that the most terrifying thing about the eternal night was not the night itself...

As for what it is.

He will have to enter the eternal night to find out.

as time goes by.

The eternal night at the end of the desert and Gobi is getting closer and closer.

Jiuge and Qingmang became more and more curious and excited, and seemed to be interested in the eternal night. It was not that they were not afraid of the eternal night, but because they had the master (the king), they did not feel much fear in their hearts...

They believe that with a master (king), they will be able to get through the eternal night.

Maybe others can't get through.

But sir (my Lord) will definitely be able to get through.

As the sun was about to set.

They finally reached the end of the desert and Gobi, which was before the eternal night.

The end of the desert and the Gobi and the boundary with the eternal night is a mysterious scene that they cannot describe.

It's very strange and mysterious, and always a bit weird. Let's put it this way.

Standing at the end of the desert and Gobi, one step forward, it is a strange night, the sky and the earth are dark, and you can't see your hand in front of you. And one step back, it is the endless Gobi and the golden sky...

This scene made Qing Mang and Jiuge astonished and somewhat unbelievable. This was the scene that heaven and earth should have.

This is so weird and mysterious, it seems like someone did it on purpose.

"Sir, why is this so strange?"

Jiuge couldn't help but stutter.

He originally thought that the end of the desert and Gobi would be gradual darkness, just like gradually walking into the night.

But not.

It's a step into the night.

Feng Qingyan squinted his eyes and looked at it, saying: "It is indeed very strange, and it is hard to understand..."

"Hey, my lord, there are words on this stone."

Qing Mang, who was not far away, said in surprise.

Feng Qingyan and Jiuge walked over upon hearing this, and indeed saw some words engraved on a stone several feet in size...

The handwriting is no longer clear, but it is still recognizable.

"Human King Calendar, one thousand four hundred and fifty-six years? It's almost a thousand years now."

Jiuge was very surprised.

"Chen Jing? This name seems familiar..."

Feng Qingyan thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered who it was. He said with some surprise: "Mr. Chen Jing, you are a great scholar of my Confucianism. I didn't expect that you would enter the eternal night."

As for why Feng Qingyan knew Chen Jing who lived nearly a thousand years ago, it was mainly because Chen Jing was quite famous and was a saintly talent of extraordinary talent at that time...

"Jiuge, Qingmang, are you ready?"

After a moment, Feng Qingyan asked with a smile.

"It's just a dark night, just follow the gentleman."

Jiuge laughed.

"Let's go then."

Feng Qingyan said with a smile.

Although he felt that the eternal night was scary, Feng Qingyan was not too worried. Even though even the light of the text could not be lit in the eternal night, he had the magical power of "breaking the void and seeing the subtle", so he could still see through the night...

This is his reliance, his confidence, and his faith.

"Your Majesty, come and see."

At this moment, Qing Mang suddenly screamed, looking shocked.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyan and Jiuge hurried over and came to the stone about a foot in size that Qingmang pointed to.

There was an inscription on the stone:

"Human King Calendar, Spring of the 2351st Year"

"Yanshan"

Very simple, just time and name.

The handwriting is new.

but.

This name, however, shocked Feng Qingyan. Why did Junior Brother Yan come to the eternal darkness?

And judging from the situation, we have already entered the eternal night.

"Mr. San?" Jiuge was also very surprised and said, "No wonder there has been no news about Mr. San. It turns out that Mr. San ran to the Western Regions and walked into the eternal night..."

"Sir, is this Mr. San's handwriting?"

Jiuge asked.

"It is indeed Junior Brother Yan's handwriting."

Feng Qingyan nodded, frowning, feeling a little worried. He was not afraid of the eternal night, mainly because he had the magical power of "breaking the void and seeing the subtle"...

But Junior Brother Yan didn’t have that.

and.

Junior Brother Yan is only at the literary realm.

Wen Xiangjing runs off to face the eternal darkness, isn't that courting death?
"Mr. San entered the eternal night this spring, but I don't know which month it was, January? February? Or March?" Jiuge was a little worried, "It's the end of summer now, can I still catch up with Mr. San?"

"Hard to say."

Feng Qingyan exhaled deeply. It was impossible for him not to worry. He said, "Jiuge, get in the car. Oh, bring a rope."

"Oh."

Jiuge quickly took out a rope from the scroll.

Feng Qingyan took it and threw one end to Qingmang, saying, "Jiuge, don't leave the car easily. Qingmang, tie the rope and follow me. I'll lead the way."

"Sir, what is this?"

Jiuge was a little confused, and Qingmang was even more surprised.

"It's better to be careful." Feng Qingyan said, "The most terrifying thing about the eternal night is probably not the darkness, but getting lost..."

"Lost?"

Jiuge and Qingmang looked at each other.

Feng Qingyan said nothing more, he pulled the rope and stepped into the eternal darkness.

In his sight, or perhaps there was no sight at all, it seemed that the eternal night was even more terrifying than the devilish night, blocking out all light...

At this moment, Feng Qingyan's body was emitting a bright light, but he did not see any bright light at all.

The sky and the earth were pitch black.

"Nine Songs."

After entering the eternal darkness, Feng Qingyan pondered for a moment and said.

But Jiuge did not respond.

"Nine Songs, Qingmang."

Feng Qingyan said again.

Neither Jiuge nor Qingmang responded, as if they hadn't heard anything.

They really didn't hear it.

really--

Feng Qingyan frowned.

The eternal night not only blocked out the light, but also blocked out the sound. He couldn't even hear his own footsteps. But at this moment, he walked back along the rope and touched the green mang and the ox cart...

Even if he touched Qingmang and spoke, Qingmang could not hear him.

Perhaps Qingmang and Jiuge also spoke, but Feng Qingyan did not hear them either. The world was dead silent, which seemed extremely terrifying.

There was no light, no sound at all.

This is the most terrible.

Feng Qingyan had already been prepared, so he did not feel the horror of the eternal darkness for the time being.

At this moment, he used the magical power of "breaking the void and seeing the subtle", and finally saw the true face of the eternal night, but he was very surprised...

Under his feet.

It doesn't seem to be a desert, but dead black soil.

Or dead soil.

This is somewhat similar to the dead soil in the East China Sea and Yunmeng Lake, but it seems to be even more terrifying than the dead soil in the East China Sea and Yunmeng Lake...

He squatted down, grabbed a handful and smelled it, but he didn't smell any death, which surprised him.

Isn't it dead soil?

He didn't care about it at the moment and continued walking forward.

When he withdrew his "Breaking the Void and Seeing the Subtle" magical power, he could not even tell the difference between the north and the south. If he just walked forward based on his feelings, he might not even know where he was...

In the end, getting lost is inevitable.

Feng Qingyan pulled the rope, using the magical power of "breaking the void and seeing the subtle" from time to time, and walked step by step into the depths of the eternal darkness.

But Qingmang and Jiuge were horrified.

They had never imagined that the eternal night would be so terrifying, without even a trace of light or sound...

Heaven and earth are dead silent!

Not long after, Feng Qingyan saw a skeleton that was about to weather on the black soil, so he buried it.

"I don't know how long I've been walking, but I'm lost and can't find a way out..."

He saw some scribbled words carved on a stone in the black soil. It seemed that the person who carved the words was extremely anxious and a little desperate.
