My wife is a passerby villain

Chapter 381 A beacon of light at night
And after the young man chased a few spiritual beasts and collected a wave of emotion points, he actually saw a familiar figure in the distance.

The main reason is that the beautiful girl's vest on the other party is too eye-catching.

"Zhuge Xun?" The young man hid the elixir on his body, because the storage mirror was already full of him. "We have been apart for three days... I can't bear to look at it."

The dead man turned around, looked at him, frowned slightly and said, "Where are your glasses?"

"Glasses?" The young man touched his face and realized that he had lost his glasses at some point during the battle. "Why, you can't recognize me even if you take off your glasses?"

Zhuge Xun came here as an official to investigate the situation after discovering that the beast tide began to dissipate, and happened to meet the young man.

"The final battle is over. Now I just need to refine the 12-9 Formation Eyes, and wait until I go back to find a D-level practitioner."

"The formation of Jianzhong?" The young man's eyes suddenly lit up, "Can't I do it?"

"You?" Uncle Shizhai clicked his tongue, "The minimum requirement for refining the formation eye is D level. Why are you at the E level level joining in the fun?"

"Isn't it the D-level realm?" The young man shook his arm, "Here, let's show your wrists."

"What?"

……

Overall, this battle can be said to be a complete victory.

Not to mention the bug-like game ability, it is said that when cultivators encounter some weird, monster-like beasts and need to shrink the defense circle, there are awakened ones who come out in galactic battleships, directly saturating firepower coverage, making people doubt its authenticity.

But the current situation is just like Zhuge Xun said, to solve the beast tide, just refine the 12-9 formation eyes.

"Previous refining efforts have ended in failure. This formation is probably not normal. You should be careful," Zhuge Xun warned: "It seems to require a very high degree of fit. If you refine it hard, there may be problems. Just give it a try. Try it, there will be other D-level realms by then...have you started refining?"

"Otherwise?" The young man spread his hands.

He doesn't need any compatibility at all. When he reaches the D-level realm, the system will open up the spiritual weapon system, and this white version of the formation eye only needs to consume some negative emotion points and then 'read' .

However, it cost nearly [-] yuan, and with the long progress bar, it seems that it is indeed difficult to refine.

As for why the young man recommended himself, it was because he was in urgent need of a spiritual weapon suitable for him, and this fairly good weapon was just right. Otherwise, the fight would have to depend on his mood for the magical weapon, but it was too outrageous.

The dead man was silent for a moment and didn't say anything else. Speaking of which, he was not serious today and didn't even ask for his cell phone to watch a TV show.

After a while, the young man looked at a bright yellow paper lantern that the old man had set up, and asked with some curiosity: "This is it?"

"This is called the Kongming Lantern." Zhuge Xun's fingers lightly passed under the cloth cage. As a flame was lit, the simple paper lantern slowly rose up. Then Zhuge Xun continued: "Our over there A custom used to commemorate the deceased.”

"The deceased..." The young man was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "How many people did we lose in battle?"

"47."

"47?" The young man didn't understand. "Didn't you just say that we were completely victorious?"

"Yes, a complete victory, a complete victory in a war," Zhuge Xun stared at the Kongming Lantern taking off, "There are only 47 people, it is a complete victory without any objection."

"16 of them died during the raid on the secret realm, and 31 died in the battle against the beast tide just now."

"Even if there are doctors, they can't save him. After all, he can't even find his body."

After Zhuge Xun finished speaking, he remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked: "Chiyun, the person in charge of the sales hall, do you still remember?"

The young man's expression was a little heavy, then he raised his head and said: "I remember, I went there when the auction was held, and the two of us had a slight conflict over a lot, and he even sent someone to trouble me... What's wrong? ?"

"Well, that's him," the dead man nodded, "but... he's dead now."

The young man was confused for a moment, frowned and said, "He's dead... Do you suspect that I did it?"

"Doubtful?" Uncle Shizhai turned to the side, shook his head and said, "Because you and him had some issues, I just mentioned it briefly."

"As for his death, it has nothing to do with you. Although Chiyun is in the D-level realm, he has insufficient combat experience in the secret realm and is from a sect, so he was placed in the third stage and is responsible for the logistics he is good at. .”

"But at that time, a group of casual cultivators ran away to the front line without permission. When Chiyun tried to rescue them, they were surrounded and killed by several spiritual beasts."

"With the combat power of a D-level practitioner, it is easy to deal with several spiritual beasts at the same time... But when you want to protect ordinary people, you have to be careful about accidentally injuring them even with your own abilities."

"And Chiyun's fighting style also tends to be group-based..." "Well, that's all. You asked me to investigate him then, but you shouldn't use it now, right?"

The young man suddenly became speechless. Chiyun had targeted him, so he naturally wanted to take revenge, but in the blink of an eye... he died.

Although he has a vengeful character, he still admires and respects the other party who died in a way to protect the survivors.

Zhuge Xun then looked at the list in his hand and continued to weave the Kongming lanterns. Each time he let one fly, it represented the passing of a living life.

They are not the number '47'. Each of them has his own name, his own life, his own life, and someone who loves himself and whom he loves.

And now, with the 47 Kongming Lanterns shining with dark yellow lights, slowly rising up one after another like ladders to heaven, it means that their lives will remain in the secret realm forever.

However, their families, all the survivors in the secret realm, and all the practitioners who fought side by side will remember them, and in the future, their names will always be engraved in history and remembered by the coming new world. Remember it forever!

……

As the reading ended, the young man finally completely refined the array in front of him, and the long-lost golden chessboard in the night sky finally reappeared in a condensed form.

Finally, the formation eye in the young man's hand turned into a golden shadow. With the sound of the sword rising into the sky, Zhuge Xun finally let go and took his first breath since entering the secret realm.

He sat on the ground in relief and continued to weave Kongming lanterns in his hands.

It's finally over... Black wins, and his own existence is about to be unsustainable.

"Why is there another one?" The young man bowed his head slightly to express his respect for each of the Kongming Lanterns just now, because they were all heroes who sacrificed themselves to protect others.

Didn’t it mean there were only 47 people?
"Oh, I see how beautiful my knitting is, and I want to knit one for myself," the old man joked in a tasteless way.

"What, you're going to die?" The young man thought that there were no injuries on the other party's body, not even much blood.

"Hey, the sky lantern can't just be used to commemorate the dead!" Zhuge Xun clicked his tongue, but when he raised his head and released the sky lantern, the movements in his hands froze for a moment.

Seeing Uncle Shizhai's appearance, the young man was a little confused for a moment, and then he raised his head. Then he saw that under the originally empty night, there were very sparse light spots that were even dimmer than the stars. They were slowly moving. of drifting by.

And those seem to be... Kongming lanterns too?

Is anyone else setting off Kongming lanterns?
The young man looked in the direction from which the Kongming Lantern floated, which was the southwest side, and the scene in front of him froze him on the spot.

Those Kongming lanterns, which are fainter than the light of the stars and may even go out at any time, are now filled with the entire southwestern sky. They are so densely packed that they seem to number in the tens of thousands, and they are scattered and floating slowly, like It is a long river composed of faint light spots, flowing here briefly.

Zhuge Xun swallowed and lowered his head stiffly. In his hand was a thick pile of paper, but only the first one had 47 names written on it.

And all the remaining papers, soaked by the rain, were...blank.

The inheritance of history cannot be completely refined, because its concept is inextricably linked to the world. Even if it is a stone, its past can be traced back for hundreds of millions of years... So even if they are cut off No matter how thorough you are, there will always be a trace left behind.

In the future, no one will remember them because they have never existed, but this brief moment now is the only trace they leave.

……

A sky lantern seemed to be wet by the rain, and it slowly fell over the densest crowd of survivors.

There was a rather special tent with many children inside. Their crying sounds were endless, as if they would never get tired.

At this time, a girl sneaked out. She was wearing a coat that didn't fit well because her clothes were scorched by the flames when she left Camp 11-7.

Jingjing pinched her nose, stretched out her arms, and held a pair of stained paper pants with her fingertips. When she threw it into the trash bin next to the tent, she suddenly saw the lamp that was almost gone. Extinguished Kongming Lantern.

Jingjing... The girl was stunned for a moment. She leaned over subconsciously, and when she found a completely broken dark red jade pendant wrapped in the Kongming Lantern, her tears suddenly flowed down uncontrollably.

"Sister Luo Jin, why is this Kongming Lantern so familiar..."
-
Drawing on the previous experience, I chose to skip the 'battle process' that has no obvious impact. If any readers feel uncomfortable, I will spend some time to make up for it tomorrow.

[Involving minor spoilers, it is recommended to skip]

[-]. The situation of Chiyun can be said to be a bright card. When he first appeared, he introduced his abilities, his desire to buy the rusty sword, his characteristics, and the dark red jade pendant.

[-]. Jingjing's character is actually quite obvious. Some readers have also discovered that as for the age difference, the original text has described it, for example, "Girls in ancient times were much slimmer than modern ones", and Jingjing's age was told by her own initiative. 'Yin Hang', but in the camp, the girl never said her age.

[-]. As mentioned in the previous setting, the past can be preserved in the present and future, and the future can also affect the past and present.
