The breeze blows, and the bamboo forest outside the window makes a slight sound.

A ray of sunlight shone on the windowsill, reflecting the dust into a warm gold.

It was getting late, and there was still a hint of heat in the summer sunset, but it was not clear in the courtyard.

Bai Yan stood by the window, and at the end of her sight was a begonia.

The begonia was not tall, and the branches and leaves were not luxuriant, but she could see the gods.

It wasn't until there was movement behind her that she turned around.

"Awake?" she looked at Bai Xiu and said indifferently, "Lie down for a while, you are not lightly injured this time." ”

Bai Xiu sat up slowly, touched the soul suppression beam on his eyes, and did not react for a while.

"You fainted as soon as you came back this morning. Bai Yan walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said in a low voice, "The four sect elders have come to see it, and he said that you need to recuperate for a while. ”

Listening to her, Bai Xiu finally remembered what had happened before.

Time is back to the wee hours of the morning again.

He and Fang Xin left Huangquanbi and hurried towards the exit of the Land of Listening to Souls.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, both of them were a little anxious.

I was restless, and suddenly there was a flash of light ahead, and a very special pattern gradually appeared on the dimly lit bluestone road.

Bai Xiu's heart moved, and he quickly stopped.

Seeing that his expression had changed, Fang Xin secretly became vigilant.

But the pattern was getting brighter and brighter, and she couldn't help asking, "Bai Xiu, do you know what this is?"

Bai Xiu nodded, and recalled: "I used it when Zhong Ming sent me to the space of the Ghost Maiden Si Yin before, and it is estimated that it is some kind of secret method of the Ghost King's Mansion. ”

Fang Xin listened to his words, and suddenly said: "Isn't it the magic technique of the ancient cultivation period? Fortunately, they didn't use it when they chased me and Mingshu before, otherwise I wouldn't be able to escape with our wings." ”

Bai Xiu said thoughtfully: "Not really, maybe there are certain restrictions on the use of this secret method. ”

As he spoke, the light of the pattern had dimmed, and in its place were two figures, one black and one white, who were the Zhong family brothers?

"You two, meet again!" Zhong Zhe raised his eyebrows and greeted them with a smile.

Zhong Ming glanced at him, snorted lightly, and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and finish the business and let them get out." ”

He spoke very politely, but Bai Xiu and Fang Xin breathed a sigh of relief—it seemed that these two were not here to stop them.

Zhong Zhe was choked by his younger brother, and not to be outdone, he fought back: "Isn't it just a few spirit fruits, the ghost king doesn't care about his life, what do you care about, an errand runner?"

Zhong Ming said angrily: "I'm running errands, so aren't you too, 'Lord Si Youzuo'?"

Seeing that the two were going to quarrel again, Fang Xin couldn't help but be a little anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Two Brother Zhong, what are you looking for us?"

Hearing this, Zhong Zhe grabbed Zhong Ming's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Just with this big brother, are you embarrassed to embarrass others? Don't be so incomprehensible, tell them what the ghost king has explained." ”

Zhong Ming glared at him, but didn't push his arm away, but said angrily: "If you hadn't been talking nonsense, I would have told them a long time ago......."

Zhong Zhe smiled and hurriedly made a "please" gesture.

Zhong Ming no longer paid attention to him, but turned his head to look at Bai Xiu and the others.

He said very coldly: "The Ghost King has always had a clear grudge, and if you help him untie the twin soul knots, he will no longer care about your breaking into the land of listening to souls and stealing the spirit fruit." Now that the grievances are gone, you should leave quickly. ”

He flipped his palm, held the huge copper bell in his hand and shook it, and a light map that was exactly the same as before appeared under Bai Xiu and Fang Xin's feet.

He was about to pull out the magic trick, but his hand was suddenly held down by Zhong Zhe.

The latter looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "It is only an instant to use this 'Meditation Array' to enter and exit the land of listening to souls, anyway, there is still a period of time before dawn, so why don't we talk to them again."

You also know that apart from the annoying guys of the Ming family, no one else has ever been to the Land of Listening to Souls. ”

Zhong Zhe didn't mention the Ming family, but as soon as he mentioned them, Zhong Ming remembered that Bai Xiu had spoken to him under the pretense of being a member of the Ming family.

His face was cold, and he said coldly: "You are friends with them, but I am not." And the ghost king only ordered us to send them away, so don't talk nonsense and regenerate other incidents. ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked a few feet away, looking unwilling to deal with the three of them anymore.

Fang Xin knew that his face was cold and hot, and he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.

However, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she and Bai Xiu didn't have to worry about going back.

After thinking about it, she asked Zhong Zhe, "Brother Zhong, is Mingshu okay?"

Zhong Zhe said with a smile: "It's really a blessing to the two of them, the ghost king Si Ming will no longer pursue this matter, and we don't have to worry about his old man settling accounts with us." ”

Fang Xinqi said: "He already knows that you are with us?"

Zhong Zhe nodded and sighed: "Although it didn't break it, he must have known it a long time ago."

There was nothing he knew about what was happening in this place of listening to souls, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to Huangquan Biluo in the first place and rescued the two of them. ”

After he finished speaking, he smiled meaningfully at Bai Xiu.

Fang Xin was puzzled and couldn't help but look at Bai Xiu.

Bai Xiu smiled silently, and had no intention of explaining at all.

Fang Xin didn't dwell on this, but asked curiously: "By the way, Brother Zhong, what is that 'Double Soul Knot', why did the Ghost King Si Ming say that we helped him untie it?"

And because of this, he let us go regardless of his previous suspicions, is this thing important to him?"

Zhong Zhe's tone changed, touched his chin and said, "This is a long talk...... The earliest can be traced back to the time when Ghost King City had not yet appeared. ”

Fang Xin knew that he intended to tease him, and immediately said, "Then Brother Zhong, you pick it up and say it's important, I just want to know the story of this pair of soul knots." ”

Zhong Zhe sighed lightly and told the whole story: "The ghost king Si Ming and Lord Si Yin are both remnants of the Bu clan, and it is said that they used to be lovers, but then they turned against each other for some reason.

The land of listening to the soul was originally controlled by the Bu clan, but later their territory was also destroyed for some reasons, which led to the current Ghost King City.

Lord Si Yin has always held a grudge against the ghost king Si Ming because of the fall of the Bu clan. In order to let her let go of her hatred, the ghost king made a bet with her.

Based on their own innate ghost power, the two created two souls and threw themselves into reincarnation. These two souls are reincarnated as a man and a woman, and they are entangled from life to life, which is the twin soul knot.

These two are destined to fail. Sometimes birth is a miss, never see each other in a lifetime, and sometimes love and hate are impermanent, and never a good end. Anyway, they won't live and die together.

One day, if two souls appear at the same time, it will be the time when the twin soul knot will be untied.

You killed Lord Si Yin's fighting demons, and his soul returned to Huangquan Biluo, and the other soul also came here with this buddy, so naturally he untied the twin soul knots. ”

"So that's ......" Fang Xin couldn't help but feel a little emotional, she couldn't imagine that her uncle had such a background, even her stepfather didn't know.

At the same time, she was also a little curious, who could that other soul be?

Her aunt, whom she had never met?

But how could her soul be planted in Bai Xiu's body as a seed of gods and demons......

She thought about it wildly, and finally sighed: "It's a pity that people who love each other can't stay together." If they can get back together, we have done a good thing unintentionally. ”

"Who's to say it's not......" Zhong Zhe nodded in agreement.

He turned his gaze to Bai Xiu and said, "Brother Bai doesn't have any questions to ask me?"

Bai Xiu's heart moved, Zhong Zhe would ask this, thinking that it was the ghost king Si Ming who also informed him of other things.

It's about yourself, only ......

Bai Xiu clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "I came to listen to the land of souls for another matter. Twenty years ago, my parents suddenly disappeared and their whereabouts are still unknown.

I heard that the ghost king knows everything, so I wanted to ask him for a divination. However, the ghost king is busy with affairs, so I can't bother after all. Brother Zhong is well-informed, I wonder if there is any other way?"

Zhong Zhe smiled, tapped his fingers, and said regretfully: "This method of 'life divination' is a magical power handed down by the Tianhu clan during the ancient cultivation period, and only the innate ghost clan will know it.

There is a way that cannot be revealed, the ghost king is ordered to follow the way of heaven, and he has never been used lightly, I'm afraid that even if you ask, he won't help you.

As for the other ways to deduce their whereabouts, perhaps Lord Siyin can do it, but unfortunately you have just offended her, and she has a strange temper...... So you get the idea. ”

Fang Xin couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he heard this, and frowned, "Is there really no other way?"

Bai Xiu was much calmer - since Zhong Zhe took the initiative to bring up this matter, there must be room for maneuver in the matter.

Sure enough, seeing that Bai Xiu was unmoved, Zhong Zhe was a little disappointed.

Finally, he coughed lightly and said, "But you're right, the Ghost King Si Ming is indeed omniscient, and he has long expected you to ask this question." Feeling your filial piety, he decided to give you a little bit. ”

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and the next second a note appeared out of thin air in his hand.

He handed the note to Bai Xiu with two fingers, looked at him with some expectation, and said, "The Ghost King Si ordered his old man to say, the answer to the question you want to ask is on the note, open it and take a look." ”

Regarding Zhong Zhe's bad taste, Bai Xiu naturally laughed at it.

He took the note, gently opened it, and found that there were only eight words on it.

"If you keep obsessed, he will regret it one day......," he said silently, a little distracted for a moment.

His voice was so soft that Fang Xin couldn't hear it clearly.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "Bai Xiu, is there any news about your parents?"

Bai Xiu came back to her senses, handed her the note, and turned to Zhong Zhe: "Brother Zhong, the ghost king is the ...... Did he say anything else?"

Zhong Zhe crossed his arms and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "The Ghost King Si Ming said that if you continue to ask, he will have other things to tell you, and if you decide not to ask, then there will be no more." ”

Bai Xiu was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what he meant.

Fang Xin read the note several times, and finally returned it to Bai Xiu.

She was puzzled: "Brother Zhong, is the ghost king still unwilling to tell us the whereabouts of Bai Xiu's parents?"

Zhong Zhe still had the same look as before, he looked at Bai Xiu, and said slowly: "It depends on Brother Bai's own decision." ”
