The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 68: Between the Phantoms (below)

Half an hour later, Danny woke up from a coma. He opened his eyes with deep fear. Due to Jonah’s fainting, the illuminated star array went out and the cave fell into darkness. He trembled and fumbled around. Except for the gravel and crushed crystalline mica beside him, there was no drop of warm liquid, nor was there anyone's corpse. "Huh..." He closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath,

The so-called secret technique taught to him by the deck sailor is just a superficial method to increase muscle vitality and overdraw body energy in a short time. Overactive muscles expel a lot of sweat during the activity, and at the same time eliminate toxins in the body. In vitro, the male Stewart was the first one to get rid of the illusion caused by the poisonous pink fungus because of a blessing in disguise,

It took Danny a short while to find the rucksack, pulled out a torch, lit it with a red phosphorous match, and the light returned to the deep dark tunnel inside the insect body, and the flames flickered from the wind blowing from somewhere. Suddenly, there were two people lying in the distance, a man and a woman. The sharp mica flakes on the stone wall were shining. It was not like a dangerous natural mechanism. Stewart endured the pain of his muscles and put on a robe, tore off a corner of his clothes and pulled himself. The injured right hand was carefully bandaged, and his full blow hit the entire rock wall and the sharp mica attached to it into pieces. Naturally, there were a few more visible bone scars on the fist, "Edward...huh, why? I will see his shadow, not the cute little I was thinking about." Danny spit out fiercely, "Bah, **** poisonous mushroom..."

"Wow." With cold water pouring on his head, Jonah jumped up suddenly: "What's the matter, there are enemies, oh..."

One second later, he squatted down, clutching the back of his head. The old wound on his head was not so good, and Danny hit the occipital bone with a flying stone accurately and fiercely. Now the astrologer apprentice feels His head is as heavy as a shot ball, with gold stars flying in front of me, I can’t see everything clearly,

Danny? Stewart walked to Hannah, tilted the water bag, and poured her sister's cold water like a gourd. Hanna opened her eyes and sat up, shaking her hair, "Where is Dad, Danny, Did you see Dad."

"I saw it." Danny closed the lid angrily, and hung the water bag back around his waist. "He is drinking afternoon tea with the devil in hell."

"What happened, you are hurt." Jonah asked, clutching his head,

"No, I cut my nails a bit deeper when I cut my nails..." The Stewart man held up three layers of gauze wrapped inside and three layers of gauze, his right hand almost as big as his head said angrily: "... nonsense , Of course I was injured, or for the two of you guys who are unsatisfactory."

"I know what happened." Long Ji walked from the shadow that the torch could not illuminate, and stood beside Jonah and whispered, "He saw the person he missed the most."

The eyes of the astrologer apprentice glowed with immense joy: "You are still here, great..."

Seeing Jonah's behavior, Danny strode over and waved a bright red palm print on the cargo friend's face: "You haven't woke up yet, that's an illusion, an illusion."

"He's right, I'm just a phantom." The Eastern woman reached out to help Jona, lowered her head slightly, and sighed, "The reason in your subconscious has already told you that I can't be real, you just Choose to deceive yourself."

The seventeen-year-old boy clutched his hot cheeks, winked at Long Ji, then bowed to Danny Stewart and apologized: "I understand, I understand, I'm sorry, Danny, I caused you trouble. "

"Dad." Hannah was fascinated on the side,

"...and it's not over." The Stewart guy sighed helplessly, then rolled up his sleeves and walked towards his sister: "Don't blame me, sister, I will use my best strength to express mine. Love, I hope you forgive your brother’s pains..."

At this time, Hannah suddenly pulled out the "crippled Henry's prosthesis" behind her back, pulled the trigger continuously, a series of deafening gunfire sounded, and the smoke was flying, and the two men lying on the ground holding their heads watched. The contemporary Patriarch of Stewart blew away the light smoke from the muzzle. With a flick of his hand, the big gun returned to his back, his eyes were on the ground with dense bullet holes and a messy ground, "Hello, Dad, goodbye, Dad."

"...Can you still see Dad." Danny shook off the gravel on his head and asked in a worried tone.

Hannah looked at the ground: "This form may look like anyone, just saying hello, so I'm fine, thank you."

Finally, the three of them can sit in the smoke-filled cave, tidy up their luggage, and discuss the strange experience during the hour. "There is no other reason. I have observed it. There is no special noise in the tunnel. The light and electric organs must be the poisonous mist emitted by the pink fungus that we inhaled and then broke out at this time.” Jonah commented, “But the strange thing is that this fungus seems to have no malice, but nothing. The phantom of harm is nothing, even... it makes people feel very warm."

"Yes, it's very warm. It's even warmer if you make a skewer." Danny sneered at this. "This is basically a natural protective mechanism that allows people who break into the secret road without authorization... such as us. After suffering, how long will the toxicity stay in the body, what kind of antidote can be used to get rid of it, will the phantom reappear, we are simply the little frogs waiting to be slaughtered in the alchemist’s laboratory."

"Will appear again." Hannah replied expressionlessly, took out the magic pistol from her arms, and beat the wall around her to smash: "Hello, Dad, goodbye, Dad."

"...appears again." A drop of cold sweat dripped from the forehead of the male Stewart's,

"Hush." ​​Jonah made a silent gesture to Long Ji next to him, and the eastern woman's eyes smiled into two crescent moons, "No one can hear me even if I yell, fool. , I am your phantom, your beautiful thoughts, the thoughts you hide in the depths of your little head, only you can see me, hear me, feel me, or else, I will sing you a song from the eastern continent ."

The astrologer apprentice nodded slightly, Hannah Stewart noticed his strangeness, looked back at him, and withdrew her gaze with a smile.

Long Ji stood up and walked lightly between the Stewart brothers and sisters, her figure turned, the silver bells in her hair played a bright, clear tone, her lips moved, and the leisurely phrases fluttered out:

He Xixi tonight

Baozhou Middle Stream

What day is today?

We have to be in the same boat with the prince

Being ashamed and so embarrassed

Don’t swear to shame

I feel upset and never stop

Learn about the prince

Mountains have trees and trees have branches

My heart is happy, I don’t know it

The short song is over, the sound is faint, Jona's eyes are wrong, and the graceful figure has returned to him, "This is "The Song of Yueren", which tells the story of the ancient prince of the empire. Doesn't it sound good."

Jonah squeezed out a few words from the corner of his mouth like a mosquito: "It sounds good, what do you mean."

Long Ji replied: "You know what it means. I'm just a phantom. Everything I know is included in everything you know. You must have heard me sing this song while sleeping. Remember its melody and understand its meaning, you can answer it yourself."

The astrologer apprentice frowned slightly, the memory turned like rusty gears, unable to find a clear memory, but the meaning of the ballad suddenly came to his mind, yes, he understood the meaning of this Eastern Continent short song: one The girl who shook the boat on the river fell in love with the prince crossing the river, and the song was full of bitter nostalgia:

What day is today,

Mid-range rafting,

What day is today,

In the same boat with you,

Your attitude makes me shy,

You didn't even despise me;

My heart is beating,

Just because I saw you,

Mountains have trees, trees have branches,

My love, but you don’t know it,

Jona was like thunder, and was stunned there. All his thoughts were frozen. He remembered that on a cold night in the cherry crossing, he was half-dreaming and half-awake when he heard Long Ji who was vigil outside the door. After talking to the Rose Knight to pass the long night, she told a lot about the man's past, and then sang this short song in a low voice, her singing is clear and transparent, flying away gently in the night,

She missed a man, her husband, the only reason she traveled across the continent, her lover and enemy in this life, the man who committed sins but made her miss day and night,

Then, this woman who is by her side, gentle as water and smiling like a flower, is really just a phantom, she can't be so affectionate to herself, because all her feelings have been lost to the legendary man. Can’t leave a trace to sympathize with the seventeen-year-old pale boy,

The astrologer apprentice slowly turned his head, his intoxicated black eyes are slowly disappearing into the air, "Thank you." Long Ji's phantom smiled and said: "It feels so good to be missed, you understand your own Are you really interested? If it weren't for the toxins in your body, could you still feel your feelings for me? Is it a heartfelt love or a short impulse? Do you have the courage to face too many impossibility between us? ."

"I, I don't know..." Jona lowered his head,

"When we meet, goodbye."

The sudden epiphany made him overcome the illusion, but Jonah fell into a deeper entanglement. The ignorant emotional impulse made him feel confused. Fortunately, the Stewart brothers and sisters were working together on the map at this time, and did not pay attention to him. 'S gaffe,

"Go ahead, if the pink mushroom is an organ, there must be more organs waiting for us." Hannah seemed a little hesitant,

"Look, there is a shortcut here. In the area of ​​the map I drew, it seems... it's a complicated spiral. What does it mean, spin down." Danny pointed with his bandaged fist. Map,

"Look for yourself, that's your dirty finger prints." Hannah said,

At this time, there was a rumble of explosions from a distance, and Stewart’s contemporary Patriarch immediately stood up: "The enemy is clearing the descending passage. They are here. We can't linger. Let's move on."
