Chapter 89: Silence Marks Weiyang Palace

During the five-day holiday, the two did not memorize words for an hour every day as agreed. This brilliant plan was only implemented on the first day, delayed on the second day, and completely forgotten on the third day.

On the third day of the holiday, Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying went out for a trip. During the trip, the homework and words "no longer existed".

Xu Ying's explanation for this is: "You can memorize words at any time, and you can travel at any time, but during this holiday, I would rather travel with you than ask you to memorize words."

These words were righteous and impeccable. Mu Zhengguang didn't really want to memorize words, and after her advice, he put the matter aside without any psychological burden. He thought about it and realized that in about a month, his sophomore year of high school would come to an end. It would be nice to take an unforgettable trip before that.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying reached the summit of Mount Huashan in the early morning of June 6. They quickly climbed along the steep and rugged cliffs that were rarely visited by people, overlooking the mountains, rivers, and people from an angle that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

Mu Zhengguang wandered among the peaks, enjoying the ease and freedom at this moment: "Although the scenery here has nothing to do with the asymptote, the experience I have now is brought about by the asymptote."

The body of the second stage has made great progress compared to the first stage. Flying over eaves and walking on walls are no longer nonsense, and climbing mountains has become a very simple thing.

"Asymptote?" Xu Ying suddenly thought of something. She turned on her phone to check the rumors in nearby cities. "On November 11 last year, the Weiyang Palace appeared in the Weiyang Palace Ruins Park. Do you want to go and see it?"

Mu Zhengguang thought of the Ganges Floating Palace and asked, "Is it the Star Lord's palace?"

"No, but it should be related to Star Lord."

"That's fine, let's go and have a look."

"it is good."

It is not very far from the top of Mount Huashan to the Weiyang Palace, but the two men walked and stopped many times and did not reach their destination until nearly noon.

When Zhang Qiuyun and Yu Chen came, there were only foundations in the ruins park and very few tourists.

When Mu Zhengguang and Xu Yingze arrived, the park was bustling and lively.

A palace from a thousand years ago suddenly reappeared in the world, and it was "ownerless", attracting many people to come and see.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying walked around the park a few times and roughly figured out the area and scope of the palace. Then they found a deserted place, wrote notes, and exchanged them.

This method of communication, which is often used in the classroom, was taken out of the classroom by these two people and used frequently.

Mu Zhengguang's note read: The palace was designed by the Star Lord. By marking the palace, one may be able to obtain information from the Star Lord.

Xu Yingze's note read: Is it too dangerous? It's very likely that the gain will outweigh the loss!

Mu Zhengguang leaned over and whispered in her ear: "My ability can turn something into nothing."

When Xu Ying heard this, she knew that her classmate was very sure of his chance and it was unlikely that he would give up. "Well, then, be careful."

"Hmm." Mu Zhengguang put his hand on the wall and activated the existence annotation. Existence annotation cannot be used to explore the essence of things. He just wanted to know if the wall here is different from the walls in other places.

The force of existence flows through its walls. This palace that spans time and space is like a broken bowl that will never be filled.

Xu Ying was quite worried when she saw that he was still not stopping: "How is it? Do you need my help?"

"Not for now." Mu Zhengguang retracted his existence. His curiosity had been satisfied, so he stopped doing unnecessary things. A year ago, he had wanted to go to the Ganges Palace to take a look. Today, facing the Weiyang Palace, which was also built by the Star Lord, his wish was partially fulfilled in a sense.

He passed a note to his classmate, which read: This palace seems to be non-existent. He marked a body of water, and could vaguely feel the weight and temperature of the water. He marked a tree, and could also experience these most common feelings. But he marked the Weiyang Palace, and felt "empty".

"Let me try it too." Xu Ying released her running force and marked the air, microorganisms, ground and ceiling here.

Xu Ying wrote another note: Things in the palace seem to never change.

Mu Zhengguang read the note, nodded, and then erased the words on the paper.

"Let's go. It might be unsafe to stay here. Let's climb the mountain somewhere else. Don't run so fast this time."

Xu Ying suggested changing the place, and the two of them took action immediately.

They left the park, had lunch in the city, and then headed to another ancient city mentioned in history textbooks, stopped, and looked for a place to climb the mountain.

A mountain of several thousand meters, with tens of thousands of steps. If people didn't have an asymptote, it would take about a morning to climb this mountain. If you stop for too long, a morning won't be enough. With an asymptote, it's a different story.

It was the hottest time of the day, and Xu Ying started running. The temperature around her suddenly dropped: "Don't run too fast. It's better to climb the mountain step by step."

"It may take two or three hours to climb. Are you ready?"

Xu Ying did not answer the question directly. She took off the camera hanging around her neck and took a photo of him, and then took a selfie: "I already have the photos of the way here, and I just need the photos of the way back."

"Well, let's go."

There are shops, rest areas, and toilets on the road, and there are golden temples, plank roads, and corridors on the mountain. The two are not in a hurry to travel, and they often stop to look at the mountain, the tourists, and your and my faces.

Blue sky, white clouds, green trees, dark shadows, grey outlines, yellow and white rocks, weed-colored dead branches...Xu Yingze's newly bought camera came in handy, as she "recorded" all the colors and scenes in the form of pictures.

Mu Zhengguang deeply suspected that she bought the camera just to take more photos when traveling. But why did she forget to buy a selfie stick? I wonder if there is anyone selling this on the mountain. If I have the chance, I will buy one.

When they arrived at the next rest area, Mu Zhengguang bought a selfie stick.

After Xu Ying got the selfie stick, she climbed the mountain even slower.

The two of them "slowly" walked to the top of the mountain.

The temperature was not low today, but it was still cool on the top of the mountain. They sat down on the bench and Mu Zhengguang opened his schoolbag. The schoolbag was filled with jelly, yogurt, potato chips, dragon fruit, and a variety of other things, just like a picnic.

The two people had a clear division of labor. The boy's backpack was filled with food and water, and the girl's canvas bag was filled with charging cables, power banks, tissues, fruit knives, and chopsticks.

Xu Ying was very satisfied with the trip. She took out a knife and chopsticks from her bag slowly, and then used a fruit knife to cut a pitaya into four pieces. She pinched the two corners of one piece with both hands and broke it with a little force to separate the skin and flesh. She picked up a chopstick and pierced through the flesh and handed it to him: "I'm a little tired, let's take the cable car down the mountain."

Mu Zhengguang took the chopsticks: "Okay."

After the picnic, Xu Ying skipped and jumped around the Golden Temple on the top of the mountain for several times and took countless photos.

Mu Zhengguang followed her, and she was the only one he saw when he looked up or down. She was wearing a pink short-sleeved T-shirt, white trousers, and a simple low ponytail, exuding a beauty that made people happy. He suddenly remembered that it was the same many years ago. In other words, we have been together for a long time, and although my wish has not been fully realized, it is not much different. The wishes that "Dark" heard of us are actually the wishes that have been fulfilled. If the asymptote is the asymptote of wishes, and our wishes are "fulfilled", then how should we describe and define what we have gained from "Dark"?
