Chapter 169: Companion

Seeing He Manzhou's distraction, Bai Yicongcai slowly stopped talking.

He didn't know the vague scene he saw in He Manzhou's mind, so he thought that the little girl was stunned by this analysis, so he put his arm on her shoulder, turned his head slightly in a reassuring manner, and opened his mouth in a low voice.

"Of course, these are just my inferences, there is no basis, you can just use it as a reference. ”

"But what you say does make a lot of sense...... Makes sense. ”

Hearing Bai Yicong's voice, He Manzhou slowly retracted his thoughts.

She bit her lower lip, didn't rush to respond to anything, and didn't know how to tell her boyfriend about the picture that had just disappeared. What secrets are hidden in the dimly lit temple, even as a party to the illusion, she can only see it in the clouds.

He Manzhou couldn't understand the little princess's "lie", just as she didn't know what the veiled girl had experienced later, maybe the disaster in the ancient country of Loulan started with the dance of praying for the gods. It was the high priest's erroneous decision that caused the most important sacrifice to deviate.

But is that a deviation or is it artificial?

Between the lightning and fire, He Manzhou felt that the secret of the ancient kingdom of Loulan was about to be revealed, and the sense of calling from the bottom of her heart became stronger and stronger, and she wanted to go deeper and analyze it again, but she could only think of a blank space. Those illusions that will be triggered at any time are also like a layer of thick fog at this moment, stuck at the most critical node, and they can't go on.

What is the cost of unraveling the mystery?

Whether to continue to bear the wrath of the gods, or to make a fateful comeback.

He Manzhou couldn't think of any answers to these things, but this didn't prevent the sudden feeling of depression, and the broken words overflowed along her lips.

By the time she reacted, she was halfway through the words.

"I always feel that the secrets of the ancient kingdom of Loulan are too hidden, Bai Yicong, do you know my feelings....... At the beginning, Lao He disappeared, I was really anxious, at that time my only thought was to find him, to see people in life and to see corpses in death, how can a big living person disappear out of thin air, this is not what it should be...... I just want to check everything out. ”

He Manzhou spoke very slowly, and it took a long time to slowly squeeze out a sentence, like a half-whispered voice.

"The hardest part was the first month, I couldn't accept all this at all, and then I adjusted my mood and looked for a lot of clues, and I didn't want to miss the slightest clue, but there was no progress. It wasn't until I stumbled upon my dad's codex, and then met you, that I finally got some direction. Before that, I was like a headless fly, and I knew that I had a lot of friends around me, Senior Brother Shen, Sister Period, and those uncles and uncles in my father's expedition back then, they were all accompanying me. But I can't tell them a lot of things, I go to talk about those dreams about foreign lands and ancient temples, they will only think that I think too much, what can I do except persuade me not to stress too much, to put it bluntly, I still don't trust enough, what's the use of saying it. ”

"I know, you're doing a great job. ”

Bai Yicong's comfort has always been concise and crisp, and He Manzhou also felt the delicacy he hid between his words, so that the defense line in his heart was opened a little more, and the words that had been squeezed and pressed for a long time, but could not pull his face to say, were also spoken.

"But...... Now things, to be honest, Bai Yicong, I'm a little panicked. ”

"Huh?" Bai Yi raised his eyebrows.

"I didn't think I had any connection with the ancient kingdom of Loulan before, I never thought about it...... Until I went to Zhaohui Mountain, I didn't realize that I would be related to the ancient country of Loulan. But the two of us checked it all the way, and what they encountered, don't you think it's strange, all the mysteries revolve around me, first my father's mysterious disappearance, and then Senior Brother Shen went to Wucheng intentionally or unintentionally, and even my mother is actually the Black Saintess of Loulan......"

"Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe it's because your mother is the Black Saint that you're involved. Bai Yicong concealed all the deeper speculations and was relieved lightly, "There is no need to impose all the coincidences on yourself." ”

"Yes, these may be coincidences, but I really can't help but think about it. ”

He Manzhou frowned slightly and sighed in a low voice.

This is a loss that she rarely shows, and her smart eyes have lost some of their brilliance.

"I always thought that I could solve the mystery, no matter how difficult it was, I could do it, as long as I found the clues from a year ago, and with perseverance, I could do anything....... But if I'm not a bystander, and a lot of things happen because of me, should I do something about it, or rather, I should do nothing at all?"

"Aren't you usually not afraid of heaven and earth, now you know that you are afraid?"

Bai Yicong raised his hand and rubbed the girl's hair, and opened his mouth unhurriedly.

Of course, he knew what He Manzhou was worried about, and it could even be said that He Manzhou's concerns at the moment were exactly what he had envisioned before. But Bai Ye never showed any of these pressures, and just looked at her casually.

"If you don't do anything, will the problem disappear out of thin air, and instead of worrying about these meaningless things, it is better to take the lead in a complex situation...... Xiaozhou, you have never been a passive person, don't let me down this time. ”

Bai Yicong's words were not very gentle, but the care and comfort between the words were real.

However, Miss He was originally in a state of nervousness, and she was really not in the mood to touch those small details of tenderness from between the lines of Boss Bai's words.

"Does this have anything to do with being passive and active, Bai Yicong, don't stand and talk without backache, okay...... I didn't expect you to empathize, at least...... It's always okay to say a few nice words, right?" He Manzhou pursed the corners of his lips and muttered in a low voice, "Do you know, when I came back from Zhaohui Mountain, I had a nightmare, and I dreamed that the girl holding Su Lian came out of the illusion. She came and hugged me, and the lotus flower shattered into a mist that enveloped us together, as if something had torn apart, and then ......"

The usual optimism suddenly tore open a small gap, and the toss-and-turn illusion really tortured He Manzhou a lot.

She had clearly hesitated for a few seconds, and only after a slight pause in her tone did she continue.

"I saw the surface of the lake suddenly turn blood red, and I saw that I had become less like me....... That indescribable strangeness, in the end, the girl's veil was blown off, and what appeared at that time was actually my face. ”

Originally, He Manzhou didn't think about saying this to Bai Yicong, probably because she felt that many things could be digested by herself, so she didn't have to say it and let others follow her to add to the blockage, but when facing Bai Yicong, she was still not so strong after all. For He Manzhou's rare vulnerability, Bai Yicong also delivered the greatest patience.

This time he didn't say "cool words", and of course he didn't say sweet words, but said it firmly.

"There are indeed many mysteries hidden in the ancient kingdom of Loulan, but things are destined to end, and no matter how difficult the problem is, it is not impossible to solve. A hundred years ago, the Black Saintess met the ancestors of the Bai family, a hundred years later, I met you, if there is really a so-called reincarnation and fate, isn't it also a kind of fate that we meet? From another point of view, the intensification of contradictions may not be a good thing, the "goddess's battle suit" is about to be collected, the little princess in the flower soul has awakened, and the war is about to break out. And when all this is completely solved, it is the end of the hidden disaster of the ancient country of Loulan for thousands of years, and it will be done once and for all. ”

"But ......."

He Manzhou just started to talk, but was interrupted by Bai Yicong.

He knew too well what He Manzhou wanted to say, this simple and direct girl had never had so many twists and turns, and her mind was simply too easy to guess.

"No, you just have to remember that it's not a stalemate right now. ”

So Bai Yicong ended with this sentence, and the end of his words was slightly lowered, at first glance it sounded so bland, but the care and care mixed in it could not be hidden.

"Xiaozhou, don't worry too much, you still have me. ”

"I know, Bai Yicong ......."

For this sudden straight ball, He Manzhou was obviously a little surprised.

Studying it deeply, it is like the iceberg of a 10,000-year-old straight man suddenly opened, and it actually accurately touched the softest place in the depths of her heart, giving the most appropriate comfort.

This was originally an understatement, and Bai Yixian had never told her before, but hearing it on some specific occasions still made He Manzhou very uncontrollable.

At that moment, it was as if a warm seed had taken root and sprouted in the depths of her heart, with a moisturizing and silent warmth, dispelling the panic and uneasiness in her heart. As a result, all of Miss He's insignificant little emotions were appeased, and the boulder in her heart seemed to have become less terrifying.

And this sentence, which is not a sweet word, was also taken as a promise by He Manzhou.

Be cautious and keep it in mind.

"I know there's still you, I'm not worried," After being stunned for a moment, He Manzhou responded in a low voice, "Thank you for telling me this, I'm really relieved to have you here." ”

"Xiaozhou, I've always had a good impression of you, liking is a very clean thing, I don't have to hide it. ”

"What?" He Manzhou was a little confused.

"Partner," Bai Yi circled between his lips and teeth from a deep and nice voice, and his cold eyes looked directly at He Manzhou, "I didn't agree hastily before, not because I didn't like you, or I didn't care about you." It's because the partner is a prudent choice, and the relationship should never be hasty. I won't make a decision lightly, since I chose you, I will treat you as a partner who can be entrusted to your back in times of crisis, and someone who can work together for a lifetime in ordinary life, you can rest assured. ”

After getting along for so long, it was the first time that Bai Yicong was so honest with He Manzhou.

Whether it's for feelings, or for anything else.

He shared those secrets with him and gave all his trust, not only as if he had unilaterally protected and taken care of him, but from putting He Manzhou on an equal footing, sharing the causes and consequences of the whole thing with her, and even those things that had not yet been confirmed, he was willing to analyze them with his little girlfriend.

This cautious companion warmed He Manzhou's heart even more.

Maybe it's because the bottom of my heart is touched so deeply that the words that can be said and the words that can't be said are blurted out almost subconsciously. He Manzhou knew that it was meaningless to promise when the wind was going well, but at this moment he was desperate to confirm something.

With the courage and eagerness she had never had before, she opened her mouth without hesitation.

"Bai Yicong, let me ask you, if I really have a relationship with the ancient country of Loulan, or in other words, I am the Black Holy Maiden, the source of the disaster, and the disaster is also caused by me, what will you do?"

"I thought that I had made it clear just now, and that your ability to understand had deteriorated. Bai Yi overflowed from the warmth of his palm, and the last note carried an undetectable smile, "No matter what happens, as a partner, I will be on your side." ”

Needless to say.
