Chapter 160: Escape
"Why?" Ahri was momentarily at a loss, "not going back to the Heavenly Realm...... So where do I go?"
"Stay in this mortal world, hide, and don't let anyone find you. ”
He wasn't joking, and Lu Gongzi wouldn't make such a joke, Ahri was really flustered, "Why? Why did I hide? I know I'm in trouble, I shouldn't have come to the mortal world without permission...... However, even if His Majesty the Emperor wants to punish me, there is still my sister, my sister's father, my mother's mother...... Even if I can't go back to the Heavenly Realm, I can still go back to Qingqiu, I'm the princess of Qingqiu......"
Zheng Yuanqi gently held her trembling hand, "I'm afraid, you can't go back to Qingqiu, Brother Lu didn't tell me the reason, he said that you can only stay in the mortal world and avoid the gods, Buddhas, immortals and demons in the safest place." ”
"Why?" Ahri broke free of his hand, and suddenly an inexplicable grievance came to his heart, and he choked up, "Why can't you tell me the reason? Why does he think that with just one sentence, he can control my fate, why does everyone lie to me?"
Ahri fell to the ground crying, fear, depression, and confusion were all vented in the tears of grievance, and Zheng Yuanqi didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only sit quietly and wait for her to cry tired, gently pulled her up, and lay on his lap.
Long. Zheng Yuanqi asked softly, "Ahri, Brother Lu, who are you?"
He ...... "Ahri didn't know how to answer, who was Lu Gongzi?friend?enemy?or something else?"
"He's my master. "Preach and teach to solve doubts, how can you not be regarded as a teacher?
Zheng Yuanqi nodded and continued to ask, "Then do you believe him?"
Afri really has a hard time trusting a person anymore, and he is silent for a long time.
"Ask your own heart if you believe in him?"
Believe him? He is just a lonely soul, with no origin, no place, only supreme mana and countless secrets, where he comes from and returns like the wind, does she believe such a person?
Ahri finally chose to believe, "I can not return to the Heavenly Realm for a while, but how can I escape from here without their eyes and ears?"
"Don't worry. Zheng Yuanqi hugged her shoulder, "Everything is with me, I have my own way to take you out of here unscathed, and you just need to follow me in the future, we are friends." In the future, demons will be subdued and demons will be blessed, and they will enjoy the same hardships. ”
A friend who is always cheerful and confident is indeed able to settle his mind. In fact, she made this decision, not just because she believed in Lu Gongzi's 'ethereal' character, she also had her own considerations, I don't know when some people appeared in her plain and monotonous life, these people more or less affected her life, like a big net firmly controlled her, leading her to this place of death.
Bai Ji, Master Linghua, Sang Xia, Lord of Kunlun...... These are all people from the heavenly realm, and Ahri has a hunch that if she returns to the heavenly realm, she still can't get rid of the control of this net, so it is better to stay in the mortal world. Maybe Lu Gongzi is exactly what he means.
Zheng Yuanqi was imagining a happy life of subduing demons and eliminating demons in the future, Ahri suddenly felt a little cold, Zheng Yuanqi obviously felt it too, after all, the ice spirit cold bead was in his hand, and the arm that circled Ahri suddenly tightened, and his expression immediately became serious, "The red lotus karmic fire is being extinguished, this is the time!"
Before he could finish speaking, he stood up sharply, dragged Ahri to the stone table, and took her hand and pressed it into the groove on the stone table. Before Ahri could react, there was a sudden popping sound, and the ground under his feet actually loosened and rose like a disc, and the next moment the disc fell without warning!
Ahri knew that these towers were deep in the leylines, but she didn't expect them to be hollow, and she was not prepared at all when she fell, but fortunately, Zheng Yuanqi was prepared, quickly stabilized his figure, grabbed Ahri's hand, and stopped in the air.
The walls of the tower are full of red flame crystals, and there is still a red lotus karmic fire burning on it, although the two of them can not be protected from the flames with the ice spirit cold beads, but it is still terrible to be touched by the flames. The red lotus karmic fire above had been extinguished, and the flames were disappearing downward little by little, but Zheng Yuanqi dragged Ahri straight down, and found the place he was looking for before the flames were extinguished.
On the wall of the Red Flame Crystal Tower, there is a place that is not burning, and the bare round stone face is very dazzling in the flames. It seems that this is the exit that Zheng Yuanqi is looking for.
Suddenly, the red lotus karma fire retreated, and the tower wall returned to the ochre red of the red flame spar, and the round stone face of Fang Cai could not be distinguished at all, Ahri reached out to touch it, and only then did he understand that this tower wall had been replaced, and someone dug a hole in the tower wall and replaced it with red crystal of the same size. The color of the red crystal is very similar to the red flame crystal, but it cannot attach the red lotus karmic fire.
The replacement part is just to hide people's eyes and ears, and it is not solid, and Zheng Yuanqi crushed into slag as soon as he palmed it, and they collapsed inward. In the blink of an eye, a hole appeared, and a faint light came through.
The entrance to the cave was very small, Zheng Yuanqi climbed out in a funny posture, Ahri snickered, and easily turned into a yuan body and drilled out.
It turned out that the light that came through the hole was daylight. Outside the entrance to the cave was a very deep col, and the midday sun barely covered the entire bottom of the col.
There are some chaotic miscellaneous trees at the bottom of the col, and the branches are showing a spring mood. It turned out that it was already spring, and the time in the mortal world passed so fast, when she entered the city of Fange, there was still a thick white snow on the ground, thinking of the small shop on the side of the road, is the shopkeeper still waiting for their guests who will never return?
Thinking of her predecessor Gongzi who bullied her in every way, her eyes were a little sour, and at this moment Ahri suddenly felt that her choice was right, because she found that she deeply missed the days with Lu Gongzi, like an experience, accompanied by a person who was also a teacher, a friend and an enemy. She felt at ease like never before, not in the rampant domineering of the Heavenly Palace, but in this kind of freedom and temptation, full of temptation and unknown.
"It's really an ingenious design," Zheng Yuanqi exclaimed, "Brother Lu is really calculating, and he has thought of every step." He expected that you would be trapped in the formation, and he expected that the immortals of the Heavenly Realm would arrive on the last day of the formation, and the scene would be chaotic, so I could take advantage of the chaos to find you. And when the fire of the red lotus karma is extinguished, there will be chaos, and it is the time when you and I escape. He said that he must fall before the flames disappear, and that it would not be good if he was too late and did not find this mechanism. ”
There is no doubt that he had calculated his return? must have known it a long time ago, but why did he come and why did he go? Is it really for her?
Zheng Yuanqi pulled Ahri, who was in a daze, and said with a smile, "Don't think about it, let's leave quickly, there are still people waiting outside the mountain to answer." ”
