But this strangeness came and went quickly, and the trance was only for a moment.

"Forget it, these things may not be able to come to a conclusion. In the end, He Manzhou tried to resolve the embarrassment and turned the inexplicable page, "Let's get back to business, a total of five ancient rumors, word by word analysis, now there are only two sentences that have not been cracked, excluding Changchun and Hunan, where is left, West Tibet and New Xinjiang?"

"Yes," Bai Yicong nodded lightly, didn't say much, just suppressed the doubts in his heart, "The ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan are in Xinjiang, that should be the hiding place of the little princess, and there is no need to analyze more." ”

As for why Bai Yicong chose Xizang as the first stop, He Manzhou also knew in his heart.

What's more, the words have already been said to this point, and even if you use the elimination method, you can guess the subtext in between, so after a little consideration, she immediately spoke.

"That'...... The fourth story must be related to the snow-capped mountains, right?"

The fourth story is about the Snow Maiden, and it is also the most crucial part of the "Goddess's Suit". ”

He Manzhou listened to such a lot, and only felt that everything was gradually sorted out.

At that time, the twelve maidens settled in the wilderness with the remnants of the Wu tribe, and preserved the secrets about the sleeping goddess and the destruction of Loulan, and the goddess's battle clothes have been kept properly. With the secrets of the Witch Clan, they waited for the turn of events until the little princess awoke from the flower soul and summoned the terrible god of doom.......

Then everything will be turned over and the final end will begin.

Of course, Bai Yicong would not do anything unprepared, so he had this search for the Snow Girl.

"The gods in the snow, the brilliance after withering, the first sentence of the ancient rhyme is the beginning of everything, and the last sentence indicates the final ending, and if you want to solve the problem, you must naturally cut from the sharpest point. There is only one chance to compete with Princess Loulan, and there is no room for any mistakes, so there is no need to find the flower soul before making all preparations. ”

When he said this, Bai Yicong's eyes drooped slightly, and the sharp color under his eyes flashed.

For Snow Mountain, his memory is not limited to this, as the things he experienced in the process of investigating with He Sheng gradually became clear, the part of his missing memory finally became complete.

It's not so much looking for the Snow Maiden, but rather that the Snow Maiden is just an opportunity, and what he really wants to find is the cave.

The fragmentary images that once appeared in the dream were intertwined repeatedly, which was suddenly torn apart by the night. A year ago, Bai Yicong and He Sheng followed the clues left by the Bai family and the two mysterious coordinates to check again and again, and the night when the accident finally happened, they wore military boots and mountaineering clothes, braving the cold wind to go up the mountain overnight.

Before that, Bai Yicong once thought that it was the mountains and forests of Wucheng.

Those seem to be imprinted in my mind, the rain curtain and the dead branches and weeds all over the mountains, the fishy smell between the noses and the mud under the feet....... It's all very profound. But in fact, this is not the case, when the vague details become complete, the rain curtain at that time is just an illusion taken for granted in memory, and the thick clouds that cover the sky and the moon are so dark that they are not transparent to a little starlight, with an indescribable depression.

It wasn't until this moment that Bai Yicong suddenly realized that the temperature at that time was obviously much lower than that of a rainy night.

It is precisely because the memories in the mind are tampered with that the inevitable deviation occurs.

Humans will inevitably be misled and fall into a dead end.

For example, Bai Yicong's judgment about the accident a year ago.

It's like some kind of mistaken confusion, and the initial judgment from the very beginning is wrong. All reasoning is based on the "Dock City", and even when the Tower of Babel was summoned and Bai Yicong and He Manzhou successfully found the tomb of the goddess, he still only made comparisons, trying to find some clues from the depths of his memory.

However, is that scene that repeatedly appears in nightmares really Dock City?

It wasn't until he came back from Zhaohui Mountain that Bai Yicong suddenly reacted.

The answer is clearly no.

The misclassification of time and space has given Bai Yicong a long time of misleading, when the initial judgment is wrong, how can it be possible to draw the correct conclusion under the error?

There are many things that cannot be thought through, and with the sharp tingling of his temples and the inability to sleep all night, Bai has never sorted out the full context of things. And after discovering more and more things, the nightmare that had tormented him for a whole year began to become whole, and he finally came back to his blindness.

Doubts are naturally there, and denial and questioning are inevitable, but Bai Yicong always felt that something was missing. The thick fog that shrouded in memory made everything foggy, and he could realize the problem, but he could not find the root cause and the crux of the problem.

There are still too few clues in the end.

The inky lotus tattoo from her mother's body that He Manzhou said was like the last thread of the needle, and suddenly the shrouded fog dissipated. The girl's words coincided with the strict and gentle old professor's words in a certain time and space, and became the key to everything.

The last thing that came to Bai Yicong's mind was the man's emotion mixed with a wry smile.

"Black Saintess, if Ah Qi is not a Black Saintess, how nice it would be......."

The night in my memory was clearly a heavy snow that closed the mountain.

Time and space seem to have suddenly reversed, and Bai Yicong and He Sheng's final destination is a hidden cave like a terrifying monster suddenly opening its mouth and mouthing, the dark cave hides countless secrets, but it is like a Pandora's box that has opened a gap, and the explorer knows that there may be no return, and he can't help but continue to move forward.

He Sheng's flashlight shone through a faint light, not enough to illuminate the scene ahead, only a small patch of miserable white brightness, and the vast white snow fell to the ground. The surrounding scenery condensed into opaque darkness in the shadows of the long night, and the dampness in the air was bitterly cold, not the smell of earth mixed with the heavy rain of the night, but the smell of blood obscured by snow.

This is true of many things, and superficial purity hides sin. When the blood is covered in snow, it is like a little red on top of pure white, and from a distance, it even looks like a plum blossom blooming proudly in the snow. But all the beauty is illusory, and no amount of money can change the bloody facts.

I don't know how long it took to go around and around, but Bai Yicong and He Sheng finally stopped.

"It's the ....... here"

The old professor looked at the polite, gold-rimmed round-rimmed glasses stained with water marks from the melting snowflakes, he held the flashlight in his elbow, took off the glasses, wiped his clothes on the mat, and then opened his mouth in a low voice.

"Do you want to go in?"

Bai Yi never said anything, and immediately stepped forward and replaced the answer with action.

"Wait, I have a few words to say first. He Sheng didn't rush to follow, but pulled Bai Yicong's cuffs slightly, "If our inferences are all true, my wife is really the Black Saintess of the Wu Clan, and what she left behind must be taken seriously." The stakes are high, and I may be able to do everything I want, or I may not be able to help her escape her fate......."

"So what?" Bai Yicong asked.

"I need you to give me a backing, and if I really fail, you have to continue to help her. ”

"Professor He, we act together as partners, in a sense, your failure is also my failure, and it makes no sense to think about how to deal with failure before making a decision. ”

"No, I'm not talking to you about meaning right now, I'm just asking you for a guarantee. ”

Maybe at that time, He Sheng had already decided something, so he would urgently ask Bai Yicong to agree to something.

It was precisely because he had already thought of a way out in advance, so at the last moment, he almost resolutely chose to protect Bai Yicong.

Going deeper, maybe the person He Sheng wants to protect is He Manzhou.

"Okay, I can promise you. Bai Yicong replied from a few seconds of silence, obviously thinking about it. He rarely promises anything, but he takes everything he promises seriously.

"In that case, we can go in. ”

Everything he wanted to say was said, and He Sheng didn't have any more concerns, but just let out a low sigh in the thunder.

"Boss Bai, until now, I don't know why you chose to cooperate with me, I have to admit that the news you revealed really attracted me, and Ah Ke is indeed my heart disease...... It's not easy for that kid in Xiaozhou, hey. ”

"Teacher He, you can trust me. ”

At that time, Bai Yicong nodded faintly, and as a tacit acquiescence to He Sheng's proposal, the response was short and powerful.

"Our goal is the same, you want to investigate the cause of her death, and I need him to give me an answer. ”

....... He?

Who he is and why should he give himself an answer.

The former Bai also sank in a nightmare, and the only memory stayed in the blue eyes of the goddess who suddenly opened.

As for more things, he couldn't think of them, and he didn't think about them, and for unknown things, he naturally couldn't comprehend the so-called deep meaning from them.

But the more he thought about it, the more Bai realized that something was wrong.

This is the intuition generated by the decisiveness of the Bai family, and it is also the unique sensitivity in the face of a crisis, Bai is too good at quickly sorting out clues from the mess, and many fragmentary memories are arranged and combined in his brain like a slide, and finally a clearer cognition is finally formed.

Today, Bai Yicong suddenly reacted.

The so-called "he" may be the original intention of the trip to Dock City a year ago. At first, what he wanted to investigate was not only the secret behind the treasure of the relict king, nor just the "goddess's suit" and the immortality behind it, when he investigated these, it was because he found the hidden problems of the Bai family.

What exactly was it looking for at that time?

The sudden death of his father, the accidental death of his brother, and the imminent death of the second master of the Bai family......

At first glance, they seem to be accidental, but in fact they are inextricably linked.

So, who is "he"?
