"By the way, he seems to have known that I wasn't dead. ”

He mentioned it seemingly casually, and Bai Yan smiled meaninglessly: "Don't worry about this, although they are well-informed about Yingzhou, they are not to the point of knowing everything, unless he has been lying to me." ”

People from Yingzhou?

Bai Xiu was stunned, if Bai Yan was talking to him about the same person, could it be that the murderer was also an undercover agent in Yingzhou? He suddenly remembered the look on his face when Li San mentioned this person at the beginning, as if the other party had already hinted at him.

However, it seems that the person in Yingzhou has not appeared for a long time, but fortunately, he has Qian Kun's number, maybe he can contact him again, and then find this person with the help of his internal investigation......

His thoughts circled in his mind, and Bai Xiu tried to ask: "I don't want to pursue the previous grievances and grievances, can you help me contact him?"

"You still dare to look for him, don't you know that he really wants to get rid of you?" Bai Yan sneered, "This guy is thriving now, but you don't have many chess pieces, you better be careful!"

Listening to her tone becoming more and more playful, there were vague signs of hanging up the phone, Bai Xiu was afraid that she would hear the clue if she asked again, so she immediately stopped tempting, but asked the last question, which was also the original purpose of his call.

"Do you know how to solve the problem of people's lives and souls being infected by other spiritual powers?"

He was still afraid that his question would be too abrupt, and he just wanted to make up an excuse, but Bai Yan's attitude suddenly became focused again: "You also found a problem with him?"

He?

Bai Xiu didn't know who she was talking about for a while, so she had to reply vaguely: "I only noticed it recently." ”

Bai Yan seemed to be a little more worried in his words: "I don't know who used this method to seal his memory, but his soul is not stable in the first place, and if there is any trouble, it will be troublesome." ”

The more Bai Xiu listened, the more confused he became, afraid that Bai Yan would see through it, so he simply cut through the mess quickly and asked directly: "Is there any solution?"

"I'm afraid that only cultivators in the ancient cultivation period can do it, and it will be difficult for us to achieve this condition after the internal cultivation method is dispersed, because in order to restore the infected life soul, it requires extremely powerful spiritual power. ”

Bai Yan didn't notice the tentative meaning in his words, and said in a deep voice, "If you want to say that there should be a method of external cultivation, but I have been looking for so long, and I have not found that person." ”

Bai Xiu knew in his heart that Bai Yan was also looking for Zang Wei's poverty...... Who could be the person she was talking about to make her so dedicated?

However, this doesn't seem to be what he should care about, he has already asked what he can ask, and Bai Yan won't answer some questions when asked, so he simply said, "That's ...... Then I'll think of another way, and I'll get in touch when I'm free. ”

He waited for the other party to hang up the phone, but Bai Yan was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Haven't they called you yet?"

Will someone call Zheng Ruyi?

Bai Xiu finally understood what the peculiarity of these numbers was, no wonder it was still being used ten years later......

Wait a minute –

His heart skipped a beat, and he realized one thing, could it be that he and Zheng Ruyi's mobile phone numbers are like this, and those people only recognize them but not people?

Since he can use it to impersonate Zheng Ruyi, does it mean that the current owner of his original mobile phone number is also impersonating his identity?

It seems that the phone card that Zheng Ruyi gave him ten years ago was by no means bought anywhere casually, and he suddenly had an urge to call that person immediately, maybe he had an intuition that Zheng Ruyi might not really be dead.

Thinking so, he decided to cut off the call immediately - for Bai Yan, his temptation was undoubtedly questioning her, so he must not expose it.

"Not yet, suddenly something, let's get in touch again. He hung up the phone, and the number that had once belonged to him appeared irrepressibly in his thoughts, and after hesitation, he typed in the number and clicked the dial.

Bai Xiu stared at the call interface with bated breath, but unfortunately although the call was dialed out, no one answered on the other side.

He hung up the phone with some regret, but the little light of hope in his heart finally lit up again - he found Fang Xin, Zheng Ruyi was still alive, and fate didn't seem to want to completely crush him.

He patted Qu Lian's little head and said firmly: "I said before, as long as I can cure you, no matter what price I pay, I have broken my promise ten years ago, and I must do what I say this time." ”

Not long after the car arrived at the next stop, Bai Xiu did not hesitate, got off the car with Qu Lian on his back, and then returned to Chang'an Town by car.

Although it was already late, he was afraid of bumping into Lin Xiaoice, so he still bypassed Chang'an Town and entered the mountain.

The faint moonlight sprinkled faint points of light through the bamboo forest, and the night road into the mountain was not easy to walk, but Bai Xiu walked very steadily.

Qu Pian a child, who had been sleepy for a long time, leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep, Bai Xiu couldn't help but show a smile, maybe when she woke up again, everything would be back to normal.

Even if he walked fast, it was almost midnight when he climbed the Chang'an Cliff.

There was silence in the small courtyard wall, Bai Xiu had already asked for help, but he didn't dare to come forward to disturb at this time, he put Qu Lian down the threshold, and sat down himself, letting her sleep peacefully in his arms.

Qu Lian grabbed his clothes and continued to fall asleep, he smiled, and couldn't help but look at the night sky, the sky of Nian'an Ridge was very clear, and he could clearly see countless stars flickering brightly or secretly in its arms.

He remembered those words again, that when people die, they become stars in the sky, looking at their relatives, and now one of them has flown back into his arms.

He stared motionlessly, until the corners of his eyes quietly soured a little, then he hugged Qu Lian tightly and whispered, "Don't be afraid, it will definitely get better......

I don't know how long it took, but the sky gradually covered with a touch of fish belly white, and after a while, the gorgeous morning glow was gently smeared.

A sound of footsteps suddenly sounded behind the door, Bai Xiu came back to his senses, and hurriedly stood up with Qu Lian in his arms.

The door was opened with a bang, and the next second Chu Lin lowered his head and walked out, but when he saw Bai Xiu standing aside, he was startled, and he lost his previous indifference for a while, and stammered: "You, you won't always be here, right?!"

"Is the Venerable Master up?" Bai Xiu said tentatively, "Can you please report Brother Chu?" ”

Yesterday, he and Lin Xiaoice left in a hurry, Chu Lin's mind was active, he had already guessed a few points, and he had the heart to persuade a few words.

"Since Master is unwilling to help you, there must be his reasons, and he won't change his mind in the future, so you better go down the mountain quickly...... Alas, seeing that it is not easy for you to take this child, don't compete with his old man. ”

Bai Xiu shook his head: "Brother Chu misunderstood, I came to apologize to Mr. Hu, and I took the liberty yesterday." ”

"This ......" Chu Lin thought of Lin Xiaoice, he knew this junior brother very well, and knew in his heart that if Bai Xiu hadn't been Lin Xiaoice's best friend, Lin Xiaoice would never have brought him to Chang'an Cliff, and he naturally didn't want to embarrass Bai Xiu.

"Master won't get up until eight o'clock, you can come in with me to rest for a while, and then I'll talk to his old man again." ”

Bai Xiu was grateful, but as soon as he walked with him to the door of the small wooden building, Hu Jingzhong walked out of the room with pace.

Chu Lin was a little embarrassed, and said, "Master, this, this...... He came to visit you on purpose, and he waited outside all night. ”

Hu Jingzhong crossed his eyebrows, and glanced at Bai Xiu with the rest of his eyes: "How did the teacher teach you, idle people can't wait to enter the village!"

"Mr. Hu, I'm here to apologize to you, I was a little rude yesterday, please don't take it to heart. Bai Xiu sighed in her heart and said sincerely, "As for the matter of respecting the teacher ten years ago, I also hope to make up for it as much as possible." ”

"How to compensate?" Hu Jingzhong grinned, "Repaying your life with your life, are you willing?"

Bai Xiu looked down at Qu Lian's sleeping face and smiled bitterly.

"Murder pays for life, it has been like this since ancient times, I should have done this, and now Your Excellency can promise to save her, and I am so happy that I beg you to give me a few days, and when the child's condition improves, I will come and receive his death." ”

Hu Jingzhong said coldly: "You are an executioner who kills people like hemp, and human life is still regarded as a mustard, how can I believe your promise?"

"I'm stupid, I don't know how to win people's trust, since I'm back in Chang'an Cliff, then I'll be at your disposal. ”

"Well, that's what you said...... Come with me!" Hu Jingzhong brushed his sleeves away, Bai Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, he was not afraid of anything, he was afraid that the other party would drive them down the mountain without saying anything, and now it seems that this Hu Jingzhong still seems to have the possibility of being convinced.

Bai Xiu followed the master and apprentice out of the door and walked towards the mountain, he didn't notice anything wrong, but Chu Lin's expression gradually changed.

Finding an opportunity, he quietly persuaded again: "Brother Bai, Master is angry, you better don't compete with him, go down the mountain first, and then come over with Senior Brother Lin ......"

Of course Bai Xiu will not agree, if he misses this opportunity, even if he wants to embarrass Hu Jingzhong at that time, I am afraid that the other party will not be willing.

As they walked, the bamboo forest around them suddenly became sparse, and finally there was nothing at all, and at this moment, a tombstone appeared in front of them.

Bai Xiu vaguely understood something.

Hu Jingzhong ignored them, walked straight over and stepped on a stone slab next to the tomb, and then there was a soft sound from the ground, as if the sound of some mechanism was connected, and sure enough, the ground in front of the tomb suddenly turned over in the next second, revealing an iron plate.

The iron plate was not smooth, but was covered with dense steel needles, on which some blackened blood stains could be faintly seen.

Hu Jingzhong looked at Bai Xiu, took a few steps forward and knelt down, and blood gushed out of his knees and calves.

"In the past ten years, although I have known that you are a murderer, but because of the power of the Bai family, I have not dared to take revenge, and the master is as kind to me as a mountain, I can't take revenge, and I feel very guilty in my heart, so I have to kneel here for an hour every month.

He bowed to the tombstone.

"You are Xiaoice's friend, I won't want your life, but how to say that this breath still has to come out, one hour a month, not much in ten years, only one hundred and twenty hours, you just kneel back for me." ”
