Chapter VIII: Crisis
Dangdangdang......
A knock on the door, carrying Li Yun's call, came into Ji Xingchen's ears.
"Xingchen, come and open the door, I forgot to bring the key!"
Ji Xingchen was excited, and immediately rolled out of bed, opened the door and ran out, but when he was going down the stairs, Bai Jingxi and Hei Ranyue had already opened the door.
"Hello Auntie~" Bai Jingxi smiled sweetly, "Auntie, I'll help you carry it~"
As she spoke, Bai Jingxi took over the group of "huge" handbags in Li Yun's hands.
"Ah...... That's hard teacher!" Li Yun handed it over, and then shook his hand, "Xingchen, come down and help the teacher mention it!"
"It's coming, it's coming!" Ji Xingchen responded, and then quickly went downstairs in three steps and two steps.
"No, no, I can do it with Xiao Hei~ I won't bother the stars, right, Xiao Hei?"
Bai Jingxi gave Hei Ranyue, who was standing on the side, a wink, and Hei Ranyue immediately understood and took half of the bag.
"Oh, it's really hard two teachers! It stands to reason that you are guests and distinguished guests of the Ji family, and we should come here for these things. ”
Li Yun rubbed her hands a little uneasily on the side.
"It's okay, Auntie, anyway, the two of us sisters will stay here for a long time, don't see each other~ And this weight is nothing to the two of us~"
Bai Jingxi still had a sweet smile on her face, which made people's hearts warm.
Hei Ranyue pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, and there was still an indifferent look on her face.
Ji Xingchen laughed a few times on the side, not to mention these pounds of bags, the multi-ton truck is estimated to be able to fly with one finger, thinking of this, Ji Xingchen couldn't help grinning.
"Okay...... Xingchen, bring the bag into the kitchen, I'll go prepare it, and I'll start cooking later. ”
After saying that, Li Yun got up to make preparations, leaving Ji Xingchen with an embarrassed face, and Ji Xingchen smiled politely at the two "teachers".
"Two ...... Teacher, give me the bag and I'll take it to the kitchen. Ji Xingchen stretched out his hands and prepared to pick up the bag.
"No," Bai Jingxi smiled, "Take us to the kitchen to have a look." ”
Ji Xingchen hesitated for a few seconds, and then sighed softly: "Come with me." ”
After a while, Ji Xingchen led Bai Jingxi and Hei Ranyue to the kitchen, and after putting down the bag, Ji Xingchen turned around and wanted to leave, but Bai Jingxi suddenly called out to him.
"Wait a minute, Xingchen, aren't you going to show us around your home?" Bai Jingxi squinted, but still couldn't stop the charming brilliance in her pupils.
Ji Xingchen felt helpless for a while, but it was hard to say anything.
"Alright then, come with me, I'll show you around. Ji Xingchen beckoned, and then took Bai Jingxi and Hei Ranyue around the house.
After looking at the internal structure of the house, Bai Jingxi sighed lightly: "Xingchen, your house is really not small, but it is still not as big as the Difu." ”
Ji Xingchen coughed dryly a few times, with a crying and laughing expression on his face.
"My aunt, if my family had a big mansion, then I would have ......," Ji Xingchen muttered.
At this time, Hei Ranyue suddenly pulled Bai Jingxi over and whispered in Bai Jingxi's ear.
Ji Xingchen looked at the mysterious two people in front of him, and couldn't help but feel helpless, if people knew that black and white impermanence was this virtue, they would probably die of laughter.
In the human world, black and white impermanence is a ruthless image of a powerful ghost in people's minds, and it is their duty to hook the soul and ask for their lives.
Ji Xingchen ignored them anymore and went straight downstairs to the living room on the first floor.
In the middle of the night, Li Yun's voice came from the kitchen.
"Xingchen, ask the two teachers to prepare, it's time to eat!"
"Got it!" Ji Xingchen responded casually while lying on the sofa reading a novel.
After reading it, Ji Xingchen reluctantly put down his phone.
Ji Xingchen was standing up, and Li Yun was already standing in front of him with his hands on his hips, frowning, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Ji Xingchen slapped his head, oh no, forget about calling people.
Ji Xingchen smiled, and then hurriedly found Bai Jingxi and Hei Ranyue.
At the dinner table, Ji Xingchen listened absentmindedly to Li Yun and Bai Jingxi's conversation, and occasionally asked him, he said "oh" and "uh-huh" perfunctory.
After dinner, Bai Jingxi said that she wanted to guide Ji Xingchen's study, Li Yun agreed, Hei Ranyue raised her hand to agree, and then, Ji Xingchen followed the two "teachers" into the room to study with a confused face.
After entering the room, Bai Jingxi sighed, turned around and said to Ji Xingchen, "Xingchen, there is movement on the Demon Leader's side. ”
"Oh...... Huh?" Ji Xingchen frowned, "The Demon Leader was born so soon?!"
"Not yet, but our people have found two different powerful auras in the Valley of the Ghost Spirits. One is the sealed Demon Leader, and the formation that sealed him has been somewhat loosened......", Bai Jingxi's originally lovely face was also a little more worried.
"What about the other share?" asked Ji Xingchen.
Hei Ranyue continued: "The other is the power of the former great hero, Gongsun Ling Tian. ”
Ji Xingchen narrowed his eyes: "The power of my past life?"
"That's right," Hei Ranyue clasped her hands to her chest, "That power is the thirty-six Tiangang and the seventy-two Earth Demons who helped Gongsun Ling Tian fight the Heaven of Punishment before. ”
After Ji Xingchen heard this, his face froze: "Are they all alive?"
"They are just an unconscious force now, after the fall of Gongsun Ling Tian, the heavens and the earth have also fallen in the Ghost Spirit Valley, although they have all completely fallen and cannot be reborn, but their strength has remained in the Ghost Spirit Valley. ”
There was a sense of sadness hidden in Hei Ranyue's indifferent voice.
"The problem now is that if the Demon Leader recovers, that masterless force will be brought under the command of the Demon Leader, and at that time, we will have no power to resist. Bai Jingxi's tone became more and more solemn.
"Then, aren't the underworld and heavenly court going to take any action?" Ji Xingchen asked.
"So the underworld sent Lord Zhong Kui to go, originally Lord Zhong Kui was going to strengthen the formation, but he was trapped by the Ten Thousand Ghost Array under the Demon Kui. Hei Ranyue sighed.
"What about Heavenly Court?"
"Heavenly Court?" Bai Jingxi smiled bitterly, "Those heavenly gods kept saying that they would support, but they didn't send a single soldier until now!"
Ji Xingchen was silent, his expression was solemn, and a trace of blood flashed in his eyes.
"Then, how is Lord Zhong Kui's situation now?" Ji Xingchen asked through gritted teeth.
Zhong Kui also saved Ji Xingchen when he was in danger, and it was impossible for Ji Xingchen to sit idly by!
"There is no room for optimism. Hei Ranyue said with a slight sigh.
These four words made Ji Xingchen's heart cold, and his face became more and more gloomy.
"Then what should we do?" asked Ji Xingchen.
"Hades-sama is not available, and now we are on our own. Bai Jingxi sighed lightly, "But it's not like there's nothing to ......."
"Tell me about it. Ji Xingchen urged.
Bai Jingxi and Hei Ranyue glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison.
"You two...... What do you mean?" Ji Xingchen raised his eyebrows.
"At most, Xiao Hei and I can rescue Lord Zhong Kui, but at that time, we will not only have to face the Ten Thousand Ghost Array, but also face the Demon Leader who is about to break through the seal. ”
Ji Xingchen fell silent again.
"Unless you can gain the power to defeat the Demon Boss in ten days, alas, ......"
"Ten days...... Ji Xingchen's eyes suddenly lit up, "I have a way!"
"What way?" Bai Jingxi and Hei Ranyue's eyes lit up at the same time.
"Isn't there still that power of heaven and earth, as long as you get that power, wouldn't it be good?" Ji Xingchen replied.
Bai Jingxi and Hei Ranyue looked at each other, and then asked: "To obtain that power, if you want to obtain that power, you must at least have the power of the earth immortals, and you must also admit the power of heaven and earth, you are still zero-based, and obtaining that power is simply a fool's dream!"
"I naturally have a way to ......"
The corners of Ji Xingchen's mouth hooked up a sly arc.
