He Manzhou said these words aggrieved, and for a while, Bai Yi couldn't hear whether she was grieving tonight's trip, or whether she was grieving that the fleeting hug was too short, as if she didn't hug enough. So much so that Boss Bai couldn't help but sigh, what's going on, is the little girl's psychological quality too good, or is the focus too off, at such a critical juncture, she still has the leisure to think about these things, and she thinks about herself very much, which is amazing.

However, the straight man's way of doing things is quite simple and rude, adhering to the principle of not wanting to understand it, no matter what He Manzhou is struggling with, anyway, it's over.

Therefore, Bai Yicong nodded very simply: "Yes, that's right." ”

"Then we hugged halfway through, and the cave suddenly ......" He Manzhou tried to think hard about his words, trying not to act too much like a psychopath in front of the person he liked, "just, suddenly collapsed?"

Bai Yicong raised his eyebrows slightly, and regarded it as a hug is Miss He's unique weights and measures.

Although I don't know why there are so many things worth confirming, even if it is an example, it will not be kept talking about hugging, but Bai Yicong considered He Manzhou's psychological endurance, there is no need to be more serious with her in this kind of thing, and he simply gave an affirmative answer.

"Yes. ”

On the other hand, on He Manzhou's side, when these most principled questions were confirmed, she was obviously slightly relieved. This is like Inception, a fantasy set up a fantasy, the most afraid is to be completely immersed in the illusion, unable to find a clue or a way out, and unable to break free is the most headache.

However, as soon as he confirmed that he was in the same time and space as Bai Yicong, He Manzhou's level of peace of mind soared, and he successfully found the organization by rounding, and even felt a little less afraid.

Regarding those exotic illusions, she didn't want to ask more at all, first, she was sure that Bai Yicong must have seen nothing, and for this kind of question that already had an answer in her heart, there was no point in asking more. The second is that she is not sure what the connection between herself and the goddess is, and once Bai Yicong asks, she is not easy to answer at all.

If he directly told the matter of the little princess and the beautiful girl, it would be difficult for He Manzhou to say it clearly, but skipping these things and telling his guesses directly, it was nothing more than letting Bai Yicong bear her emotions without any evidence, and it didn't seem to make sense. And as far as Chong Bai is concerned, from that kind of keen radar-like observation and reasoning ability, what will he find out if he can't keep it, He Manzhou thinks about it, it is better to investigate it privately first, and then go to Boss Bai to take the blame when necessary.

Therefore, after considering the tone for a while, He Manzhou continued.

"That'...... In the secret passage behind the shrine, we see ancient ballads carved on the walls, and broken statues of goddesses, whether they are real or fake. After a round and round and we came back here, I felt like I had been busy all the time. Especially what you just said, I'm really afraid that as your words fall, a Tower of Babel will appear out of thin air, and then the next sentence is to let me go into the ancient temple with you to have a look...... Tsk, it's scary to think about. ”

"Have you seen too much horror?" Bai Yicong patted He Manzhou's forehead a little funny, seeing that the little girl was in the mood to joke, he probably guessed that her fear was finally gradually eased, so his tone slowed down a little.

"Don't think so much, in fact many things are far less scary, it's just that you're scaring yourself. Also, I will admit what I have said, and I will do what I promised, and I will not be responsible if I don't need to do it. ”

"How can I have?" He Manzhou said without even thinking about it.

"Why don't you have it?" Bai Yicong glanced at He Manzhou meaningfully, he has always spared no effort in the field of teasing, "Hugging is not something you fantasized about, and neither am I, weren't you confirming this with me just now?"

This was so embarrassing that He Manzhou's face turned red all of a sudden.

She subconsciously wanted to refute, but it seemed that she really said it herself, and Bai Yixian just repeated it, and Miss He really couldn't find a way to refute it for a while.

But if it is easy to admit defeat in terms of bickering, it will not be He Manzhou.

However, after a moment of silence, Miss He immediately found an excuse to fight back, and continued without blushing and breathlessly.

"It's not because the experience is too weird, don't you think about it too much, everyone will think about it......, okay? This thunderstorm and storm, I didn't even sleep, I risked catching a cold to come to Zhaohui Mountain with you, and as a result, there were so many messy things, I confirm that it is not very normal. ”

Bai Yicong knew that this was a girl's shy rhetoric, and the effect was to talk about it without talking about it in her heart, and she didn't break it at all, but just nodded from the goodness.

"Today is not in vain, we originally came to find the ancient temple, but now not only the ancient temple has been found, but the handwritten letter left by the ancestors of the Bai family has also been confirmed, which is an unexpected surprise. In addition, there is that ancient ballad, and the itinerary after that can also be confirmed. ”

"Hey?...... Are the ancient ballads you said so useful," He Manzhou was slightly stunned, and was quickly aroused a little out of place, "Then where are we going next?"

"Yes, we have to find the goddess's suit to open the treasure, the ancient rumor originally hid the secret of the goddess's suit, plus the clues left by my grandfather, the location is not difficult to guess. Bai Yicong couldn't understand where the girl's interests were, so he glanced at her slightly, "As for where you want to go in the future, you just wait for me to arrange it, otherwise do you plan to book a ticket for me in person, or do you want to find the key clues by going up the mountain yourself?"

"Then, what other clues are there, is that jade coffin counted?"

"Wait...... What jade coffin?"

With this sentence, the rare ease was gone, Bai Yi repeated a sentence in a low voice, and suddenly turned his head to look at He Manzhou, his eyes were rare sharp.

There was another flash of lightning in the sky, and the miserable white electric light brightened the night, and made many obscure things clear.

"Is that ice-blue crystal coffin?"

He Manzhou didn't know what to do, he was slightly stunned, and tried to give Bai Yicong a comparison, explaining it very unfocusedly.

"Didn't I walk a little towards the cave when you were photographing the murals and ancient songs, and there was a crystal coffin there, but before I could see it, the cave suddenly collapsed....... Otherwise, what do you think I was afraid of at that time, could it be that the spider scared me like that?"

He Manzhou had already said these words, she didn't mention the girl sitting on the jade coffin, let alone the illusion that only she could see.

But even so, Bai Yicong's expression still changed significantly.

The heavy rain that had not stopped all night in Zhaohui Mountain was still falling, and the strong wind carrying the rain silk puffed up his black windbreaker, and the hem of his clothes fluttered up and down with the night wind, and his well-defined face was hidden in the shadows, revealing indescribable publicity and sharpness. He was clearly deliberate, so the silence became longer.

This trip was originally tempting, so Bai Yicong only told half of the story, and did not tell He Manzhou everything, such as some of his suspicions about the He family and the culprit behind it.

- Twelve concubines.

The first time I heard this term, it was when I was very young, along with the incomprehensible stories told by my grandfather, and the young Bai Yicong just heard it in the clouds, and even regarded it as a ghost story because the name was too strange.

In fact, many things about the clues left by grandpa are foggy, and they can't get any clues, and the truth is also hidden. Now that I think about it, the old man is telling the secrets of the gods through the cracks of time, trying to leave a little room from the impasse, which is an extremely dangerous thing in itself, how can it be blatant?

Among them, what left a deep impression on Bai Yicong was the story told by his grandfather about the princess of the dead country.

"Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess, who was the king's favorite daughter, with countless jewels of gold and silver, and her eyes were beautiful sea blue, and pearls and precious stones were adorned with her hair ties. People don't hesitate to describe her in the best words in the world. She is holy, she is innocent, she is all the fantasy of "beauty" that the world can imagine. ”

But all this came to an end with the catastrophe of the incarnation. With the advent of the incarnate gods, her country was destroyed, and the walls were littered with bones. All the good things are torn apart in the ruins, that is the worst side of human nature, in the face of death and disaster, no one will have a good-looking face, so there is only cannibalism between the same people. ”

These things, the young Bai Yicong was ignorant.

In the hearts of seven or eight-year-old children, fairy tales such as princesses and princes are the favorites of the childish ghost girls in the class, and every time they hear such stories, they must be accompanied by pink princess dresses and glittering golden crowns, which sound unrealistic. But the story told by grandpa is obviously not that style, if there was such a description as a black fairy tale back then, then this story is a complete black fairy tale, or the kind that makes people shudder the more they think about it.

"That'...... How's that princess?"

"The princess saved her people, put an end to the calamity of the gods, and bore the wrath of the gods. But her people did not thank her—the princess was abandoned by her people, and only twelve faithful maids were left with her. After the disaster, the princess fell into a long slumber. However, this is not the end of the story, she will be buried in the yellow sand, and she will also wake up in the flower soul. One day, she will take her long-dead remnants with her, overturn the stability of the present world, and bring about an eternal curse. ”

Those who are destined to bury the princess are ghosts who walk in the world.

Named Twelve Concubines.

.......

Now that I think about it, it's clear that such a story has meant something.

Everything seems to have a foreshadowing, one day, the princess will come out of the yellow sand, and the awakening brewing in the flower soul must be sacrificed by blood and death, accompanied by irreversible sacrifice, in order to meet the soul born for revenge.

These are the established story progressions, between the virtual and the real, the cause and effect are doomed. Sooner or later, the grudge will come to an end, and this is obviously not accurate enough to be called a "prophecy".

This is clearly an oracle from time immemorial.
