Chapter 45: A Doubt
Fang Xin looked at the river lantern and muttered to himself, unable to tell what kind of mood he was in his heart for a while.
The experience of being dependent on her mother as a child made her yearn for a warm family.
But now that her marriage has become a transaction, what hope is there for this wish.
She slowly stood up and watched the river lantern drift farther and farther away, as if she was following it herself.
Somehow, an indescribable sourness came over me.
She thought to herself, if she could be braver, maybe ......
Fang Xin was losing her mind, but a voice suddenly came from behind her: "Hey, you're Yu'er's friend, right?"
Her heart jumped, and she quickly looked back to see a young man sitting cross-legged on a high beach rock not far away.
There were a number of bottles beside him, many of which were empty.
Has he been here all along?
Thinking of this, Fang Xin couldn't help but be surprised, and stammered: "You, you ......"
The man jumped down with the bottle and said with a smile, "That's right, I heard everything you said.
Don't be afraid, tell me if there's anything upset. I'm the most famous confidant brother in the cultivation world, and there is no problem I can't solve if I have any love counseling or confession planning!"
After seeing the appearance of the person who came, Fang Xin's heart became even more nervous, and he said hesitantly: "Second brother of the Bai family, you, why are you here?"
Bai Che was secretly happy when he heard her words, and said with a smile: "Do you know me? Did Yu'er tell you? What is she busy with, why haven't I seen her shadow all night......
As soon as Bai Yu was mentioned, his words were a little uncontrollable, and it wasn't until Fang Xin didn't speak for a long time that he reacted.
He suddenly coughed dryly, turned the wine bottle, and said, "Eh, let's get down to business, have you encountered any problems?" It's okay, you can say it, Yu'er's friend's business is my business, maybe I can really help something!"
Fang Xin's heart was much more flustered than on her face, and she secretly recalled whether her words just now had mentioned the situation of the person in her heart.
After confirming that there was none, she changed the topic a little unnaturally: "Second brother of the Bai family, have you also encountered anything unhappy after drinking so much wine?"
I don't know if Bai Che is really drunk or really has something on his mind, he didn't break the casserole and ask the end, but nodded along with her words, sighed and said, "Yes, it's just bitter......"
Fang Xin thought of Bai Yu's attitude towards him that day, understood a little in his heart, and said cautiously: "It's because I'm ...... Am I Sister Bai Yu?"
Bai Che waved his hand, poured a large sip of wine on his head, looked at the river and said, "What problems can we have? ”
Fang Xin couldn't bear to refute his previous sentence, and when he heard the latter sentence, he subconsciously took over the conversation and said, "Is it related to your brother?"
Bai Che couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, and asked in surprise, "Do you still know my brother?"
Fang Xin hurriedly shook his head and whispered, "I heard Sister Bai Yu mention him, and she said that you have a good relationship. ”
Bai Che smiled, touched his chin, and nodded: "It seems that Yu'er still cares about me very much, and she often mentions me when chatting with her friends." ”
Seeing that Fang Xin's expression gradually became strange, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Bai Che laughed and said, "Just now I was talking nonsense, you shouldn't have heard it, let's continue!"
Before Fang Xin could react, his expression had already changed, and he sighed faintly: "There are some things that shouldn't be brought out, but I feel bored and panicked in my heart, so I really want to talk to someone."
Yu'er is very busy, and others can't say that it's fate to meet you today. I ramble casually, and that's what you hear. ”
Fang Xin couldn't guess what he wanted to say for a while, but when she mentioned the person she was reading, she inexplicably looked forward to it, and nodded: "Well, second brother of the Bai family, you can say it." ”
Bai Che took a sip of wine and said, "Your Fang family has a deep relationship with the Ming family, and you must also know about the ghost eye. Even if the others can't recognize it, the four of you young masters should have discovered that my brother has cultivated a ghost eye, right?"
Fang Xin nodded hurriedly.
However, Bai Che didn't care about her reaction, and continued: "Twenty years ago, my parents mysteriously disappeared, and Bai Xiu and I have been looking for them. Not long ago, we found out that the cause of this was the same thing.
Because of this thing, they were hunted down by a mysterious force back then, and then disappeared. That force angered the Bai family because of this, triggering the ancient forbidden curse 'Undead Reverse Current' - you should know this thing too, right?"
Seeing that Fang Xin nodded again, Bai Che said: "This forbidden spell is extremely powerful, if it succeeds, the entire Bai family will be destroyed."
The old man of the clan remembered another forbidden spell, 'Nine Ghost Sealing Souls', as long as the undead were sealed in the eyes of children born in the Yin Moment, this crisis could be resolved.
My hapless brother was chosen and fell victim to the whole family. Fortunately, God favored him, and he did not die here, but instead cultivated the legendary psychic ghost eye. But ......"
Fang Xin knew more about the Ming family's secret methods than Bai Che, and quickly thought of the situation at that time.
She said: "The Ming family has a special physique, and the ghost eye psychic is a secret method that they tailor for themselves. If you are an ordinary person, even if you really open the ghost eye, you will not be able to use it normally, but there will be a danger of ghosting. ”
Bai Che smiled bitterly: "Yes, and once the Fei Ming family who has opened the ghost eye is ghosted, they will become ignorant and bloodthirsty monsters, which is a terrifying and weird existence even more terrifying than the corpse." Therefore, the Ming family wanted to strike first and kill Bai Xiu before he turned into a ghost!"
Fang Xin's heart froze, and a layer of cold sweat broke out inexplicably in his palms.
She felt frightened just thinking about it now, but she could think of what kind of murderous motives were hidden in this originally quiet town after the Bai family's catastrophe at that time.
Bai Che said: "At that time, my aunt sensed that something was wrong, and escaped from the Bai family with our three brothers overnight, and began a five-year hiding.
It wasn't until the Bai family found out that my brother showed no signs of ghosting and withdrew the forces that pursued us that we settled down where we live now. ”
Fang Xin listened silently, and suddenly felt that although her childhood was already unfortunate, it was much better than the three brothers, at least she had a stable life and didn't have to wander outside for many years.
Bai Che took another sip of wine and sneered: "These are the so-called clansmen, when they want to get rid of you, they are more terrible than any enemy.
When Bai Xiu was a child, who of those old men never hugged him or coaxed him, why do you think they are so cold-blooded, and they can do it to a child who is less than three years old?"
With a thud, he smashed the bottle into the river.
The splash of water caused the surrounding river lights to rise and fall, rippling with the waves.
His face was very gloomy, even a little hideous, which made Fang Xin can't help but be afraid.
"Second Brother of the Bai Family......"
Bai Che waved his hand, raised his head and said, "I will never forget what happened back then, and I can't do the same as my aunt." It's ridiculous that she can sit and laugh with those old guys!
But this doesn't seem to be a big deal to her, this is probably the true face of the Bai family. Otherwise, my aunt would not have let Bai Xiu go to the land of listening to the soul in order to regain the Phoenix Jade Que. ”
"Is he going to the Land of Listening Souls?" his body will be ghosted...... Fang Xin was stunned, and then reacted, raised his head and looked at Bai Che, and said with red eyes, "Bai Xiu, did he go to the Land of Listening Souls to save Bai Huan?"
Without waiting for Bai Che to nod, her tears somehow rolled down.
She choked up and said, "It's all my fault, it's me who hurt Bai Xiu, it's me who hurt Bai Xiu......"
Seeing that she cried in an instant, Bai Che was a little confused, and hurriedly said, "Hey, why are you crying?"
Fang Xin wept and said: "If it weren't for me, Bai Huan's life would not have left his body, and Bai Xiu wouldn't have to go to the place where he listened to the soul......"
Bai Che couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that this girl was really innocent.
He comforted: "Bai Huan's kid is self-inflicted, what's your business? Besides, even if there is no such thing, Bai Xiu will go to the land of listening to the soul."
He also heard the news from somewhere, saying that the ghost king in charge of the land of listening to souls Si Ming was good at divination and knew anything in the world, so he planned to try his luck. ”
Where could Fang Xin hear it, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and she asked urgently: "Is he leaving tonight?" we have to stop him, in fact, I can also go to the land of listening souls......
Bai Che was so drunk that he didn't notice Fang Xin's abnormality at all.
He sighed and said, "It's too late, I originally planned that even if it was Lai, I would drag Bai Xiu to prevent him from going."
But after the sacrifice ceremony, my aunt knocked me out in order not to let me stop them, and Bai Xiu had already gone to the place of listening to the soul during this period. ”
Hearing this, Bai Xiu couldn't help but ask, "My second brother said that he was stunned by my aunt?"
Fang Xin nodded, she had told her previous experience in detail, and Bai Che would never be wrong about what she said.
Of course, her own irrelevant words and feelings were naturally omitted.
Bai Xiu suddenly fell into deep thought-was it because Bai Che didn't have the other party's heart to tell the truth, or was it really his aunt's hand at that time?
But if his aunt really did something for this purpose, then why would she still attack him?
Can't trust him?
Or is it the idea of the Blue Dragon Sect, they are afraid that they will regret it?
A strong uneasiness arose in Bai Xiu's heart, he always felt that Bai Yan had something to hide from him, and this matter had a lot to do with him.
He couldn't help but make up his mind that when he returned to Hongmeng Town, he must figure out this matter first.
However, it was not the time to delve into this issue, so he asked, "Ah Xin, what happened later?"
Fang Xin's answer was a little vague: "Later, the second brother of the Bai family got drunk and went back by himself, so I secretly came to the place of listening to the soul alone." ”
Thinking of the first question, Bai Xiu was curious: "Ah Xin, how did you find that bluestone road?"
How do you know that Fang Xin listened to his words and wondered: "Bluestone Road, I don't see any bluestone road......
Bai Xiu then remembered that he hadn't told Fang Xin about his experience, so he also briefly recounted it like this, and finally said, "Then how did you come to this place of listening to souls?"
A hint of hesitation flashed on Fang Xin's face.
Finally, she shook her head apologetically and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I promised before that I couldn't tell you how to enter the Land of Listening Souls, so I can't tell you. ”
Bai Xiu is not the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of it, so he smiled understandingly.
Fang Xin felt more and more sorry in his heart, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "However, the space I entered first was not here, but the real Huangquan Biluo. ”
