30. Li Bai, Yi An
"As for the title...... You can call me Li Bai. ”
Uh, what a strange name......
High-end Coser?
"Speaking of which, we've met once before, and it's fate."
“…… Well. ”
My gaze rested on the man's palm, and although his appearance changed, the delicate turquoise and transparent vat was no different.
"My body is still chasing Hildi, so I'll cut a long story short......"
Li Bai's face became solemn, and his gaze turned to Wei Shou, who was sleeping in my arms.
For some reason, I had a sense of foreboding.
"This child's life is about to disappear...... In layman's terms, it is about to fall into death soon. ”
It was like a heavy hammer, making my body shake, and the blood on my face instantly receded.
"The ancestors of the Vessel clan made a contract with the Hallows and irreversibly transformed them into a [vessel] with some of the characteristics of the [Other Realm], allowing them to borrow the power of transcendence in the form of mortals who have no talent, at the cost of completely disappearing from this world once they are depleted and anchored in this world."
I looked up blankly, and I saw him pointing, and a cool breath of information flowed into my mind.
"Originally, this is the legal principle of the world, and it is irreversible, but I have been following the breath caused by Hildy for a few days and staying in Naiyu City, and I accidentally found that an old person is actually living in seclusion here, and she may have a way to save this child......"
I don't know what I thought of, but when Li Bai mentioned the 'old man', there was a hint of a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, she won't refuse someone who asks for help......"
"Okay, I'm projecting it over this time, which is to tell you about it, so as to get the fate."
With that, the man raised his sword and chuckled, glanced casually at the corner of the street, flicked his sleeves, and disappeared.
I was stunned as I browsed through the extra addresses in my mind, and a spirit, ran to the side of the road......
………………………………
Bang, bang, bang!
A dull knock on the door echoed.
The body in my arms has become illusory and transparent even in this world, and my immature face seems to melt in the next moment, so that I don't even dare to tighten my arms, for fear that I will accidentally crush the fragile storage that no longer emits warmth......
Freeze as quiet.
Stand in front of the door.
Every second of silence was like a thread tightening around my neck, and I couldn't help but suffocate a little.
Finally:
"Alas, it's time to move again......"
A faint sigh that I had heard of.
The door was gently pushed open, revealing a woman with an ordinary face and plain clothes.
"The junior Luo Yu, asking to see Lord Yi'an, took the liberty to disturb, there are really important family members whose lives are in danger, and under the guidance of Li Bai's seniors, only adults can save this child......"
Solemnly bowed.
The woman gave me a faint look and sighed:
"I am ......"
With that, I turned around and walked back into the house, and I hurriedly and carefully carried Yushou.
"Li Bai, that guy ......"
Some of the headaches seemed to be plain white fingers through the forehead, and the woman's gaze stayed on the delicate body.
Frowning.
"He ......"
"Yumori seems to be the last descendant of the Vessel family, inheriting the holy artifact, the Crystal Skull......"
I hurriedly recounted what I knew about the origin of Yumori.
But seeing that the woman's brows were getting tighter and tighter, she finally twisted into a ball, moved in front of Wei Shou, put two fingers on the slender wrist that had turned into a jade translucent, and closed her eyes and said nothing.
After a long time, I opened my eyes, and a complicated gaze swept over me.
The ordinary but elegant face with a bookish fragrance was flat, the apricot mouth opened slightly, and it turned into a sigh halfway, and the long hair was stroked with his bare hands, and the slightest imperceptible hesitation swept through the autumn-like eyes.
"You...... Can't save him...... Is it? ”
At this moment, however, I became more sensitive than ever, and my throat moved slightly up and down, and I asked in a dry voice.
"It's not ...... what you think"
She shook her head, a look of confusion.
"Alas...... Let you send this child alone...... Li Bai's sword embryo that can only kill people knows a little bit about it, it's really nonsense......"
Considering her words, she looked at me:
"If the soul is detached from the anchor of the present world, the soul will be pulled to the [other realm] carried by the crystal skull, and will never return to the present world. The only solution is to nail a new anchor point in this world, use the bond as a cable, and re-tie it to the soul of duckweed......"
"In other words, you can find a way to find the so-called 'anchor' and ......?"
Hope grew in my heart and asked anxiously.
"That's true. The anchor point can be something extraordinary, but such a thing is already precious and scarce, and with this child's dying life, he can't wait to find something suitable...... In addition to this, the anchor point can also be transcendent beings, such as the genus of Ng, Dong, Spirit, and Worship......"
The words came into my ears, and my eyes couldn't help but light up.
Seeing my reaction, the woman sighed:
"Listen to me...... But as an anchor, it also needs to be demanding - first of all, it must be strong enough, the more powerful, the more relaxed; secondly, there must be a bond with this child, the deeper the bond, the stronger the anchorage; Finally, and most dangerously, as an anchor that binds the child to this world, it is necessary to share one's own storage zài to the child......"
"May I?"
Carefully placing Yumori on the couch, I couldn't wait to stand up, tried my best to suppress the disrespectful gesture of grabbing the woman's shoulders, took a deep breath, and asked with a trembling voice.
"You probably didn't understand what I meant, dividing half of the zài means that the actual time you save zài, that is, the lifespan, will be reduced to half of the original, and even half of it may not be able to be saved under damage!"
“……”
It's as if you've pressed the pause button.
My face stiffened.
Seeing that I was suddenly stunned, a complicated look appeared on the woman's face.
“…… Yi'an seniors, I don't know if I can still have children after losing half of my savings? ”
The question I suddenly raised my head made the woman's face strange.
"Uh...... Before the zài is consumed, it will not affect the functions of the physical body. But...... Ahem, what are you asking about this all of a sudden? ”
"Whew...... That's good! ”
I breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to myself:
"In this case, you can leave grandchildren or granddaughters to your parents before you die, so that those two unscrupulous guys don't have to be unaccompanied, oh, and Hanhan, if no one is willing to marry that off-line goods, at least when she gets old, there will be someone to clean up the mess for her......"
Suppressing the sad smile that I had unconsciously revealed, I exhaled and looked directly at the woman:
"Let's get started!"
“……”
This time it was the woman's turn to stare at me for some reason, and then she lowered her eyelids and said flatly:
"Have you decided? You must know that if Li Bai's guy comes over in person, with his strength, it will naturally be more than enough to withstand this technique, and even with the realm of being on the verge of the other realm, he will be exempted from the lack of storage. But you ......"
