Chapter 256: The Man in the Dream
"Because my friend is in a bit of trouble." She didn't come to fulfill any agreement, and she didn't know who the person in front of her was, Jingli thought about it, and said, "You may have recognized the wrong person, in fact, I have a strange jade pendant on me, are you looking for the owner of the jade pendant?" ”
This old man, like Zhu Lingyu back then, was full of incomprehensible nonsense, and when he heard that meaning, he probably mistook her for a certain owner of the jade pendant before.
The old man looked at Jingli with a loving face, and said with a smile: "No, I'm looking for you." ”
She looked at Jingli with some uncertainty, and asked again, "Since you are not here to fulfill the agreement, why did you come here?" ”
So this person didn't listen to her just now, did he? Didn't she say that her friend was in some trouble......
"I said, senior, you recognized the wrong person." Jingli looked at the old man extremely seriously and explained, "Also, can you turn back into a skeleton again?" I want to wake up. "She's been trying to sober herself up, but for some reason, she just can't.
She had a vague sense that the man seemed to be talking to her spirit, not a dream. But how should she sober up?
"Ha, hahahaha......" the old man chuckled at first, and then suddenly began to laugh, "you kid, it's funny. I didn't come out for a long time, and I made a mistake, and now I can't go back. What do you think is going to be? I'm afraid you won't wake up. ”
Jingli smiled a little awkwardly, not knowing what to answer.
"Since you said you weren't the person I'm looking for, then. Don't you wonder who I am? The old man seemed to finally understand the meaning of Jingli's previous words, but he still refused to let her go easily.
Jingli blinked in confusion and replied, "If the seniors want to say it, they will naturally say it." Besides, I knew from the beginning that my predecessor had recognized the wrong person, and I thought it would be good to explain it clearly, so I didn't ask too much. "If you talk too much, this person will leave a mark on her arm on a whim like Zhu Lingyu, but how can it be good.
"Why did I know from the beginning that I recognized the wrong person, but I didn't recognize the wrong person."
The old man's eyes were full of curiosity. The net glass is a black line. Why did you go back again, didn't you finally make it clear just now?
"Because the seniors asked me if I was from the Feng family, in fact, not long ago. Another person asked me something similar. Afterward. He eventually confirmed that he had recognized the wrong person. Because I brought the jade pendant that the man had brought, he was mistaken. Jingli patiently explained again.
"Oh, and there was another guy who asked something similar? Who is it? What is your name? This old man can always perfectly avoid the point in Jingli's words, admitting mistakes, mistakes and the like, as if he didn't hear it at all.
Jingli wiped a handful of cold sweat that didn't exist on her forehead, and said, "I don't know if you know your predecessors, it's a demon cultivator named Zhu Lingyu." ”
"Zhu Lingyu? Haven't heard of it. The old man shook his head first, then tilted his chin slightly and thought seriously for a while, then changed his words, "I seem to have heard it somewhere." ”
"Senior, you don't really know each other ......, do you?"
"Ahh The old man clapped his hands, interrupted Jingli's words, and said with a sudden realization, "I remember, it's the child of the Suzaku family, Zhu Lingyu, I remember that he is a child with good talent, but is he still alive?" In the end, the old man's voice became smaller and smaller, his tone was very uncertain, and he was a little entangled, "Could it be that it is a situation similar to mine?" ”
Suzaku family, Feng family...... So many homes.
"Senior, which family are you?" The corners of Jingli's mouth twitched, controlling her expression and not showing any weird expression. Forget about the Feng family, why did you come to another Vermilion Bird house, could it be that the crow is really a Vermilion Bird? However, didn't Suzaku live only in legends for a long time?
"Which one am I? I'm from the Hedgehog family, and you're standing on my turf. Probably hearing the somewhat old name, it was a little kind, and the old man's voice exuded a kind of lightness and pleasure.
Hedgehog...... She knew it.
From the very beginning of this weird old man in white, Jingli inexplicably thought of the pig. It seems that because of those eyes, the old man has a pair of talking eyes, calm and strong, but in front of those eyes, it makes people inexplicably feel empty.
By the way, she remembered. No wonder she thought it was strange, for her eyes occasionally showed that look, and so did Panqi.
Panqi said that she can also see it, so her eyes should also be the eyes of a pig, that kind of eyes, is it the eyes of a pig?
Ancient books record that the hedgehog can distinguish loyalty and treachery with its eyes, even if the current hedgehog is no longer the fairy beast of the past, does the eye still have such a function? Don't talk about it, what about it? What's going on with her?
Although he knew that he might not be able to find out the truth, Jingli still couldn't suppress his curiosity.
"Senior, I am indeed not the person you are looking for, this matter Zhu Lingyu senior confirmed. No matter what agreement you have with the Feng family, it has nothing to do with me, and I'm sorry I can't help you. "Let's settle the matter in front of us first, and then think about anything else.
"Zhu Lingyu said, you are not the person he is looking for?" The old man stared at Jingli with inquiring eyes, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly let out a long sigh, "Yes, he said no." "She only has this trace of divine consciousness left, after tens of thousands of years, it is not easy to preserve these powers, and she has no ability to verify anything at all. It's just a vague feeling, or maybe something is wrong with her feelings?
Touching the old man's eyes, Jingli was inexplicably a little sad, but this has nothing to do with her, does it?
"Senpai, can I go?" Jingli asked again.
The old man still looked at her with inquiring eyes, as if he was unwilling to let her go.
"Senior, although I am not the Feng clan, but if you want to find someone, why don't you tell me where to find her, how about I help you find her?" Jingli suddenly had this idea. That Zhu Lingyu, isn't he also looking for some phoenix clan? If she helped him find it, she might be able to talk to him about the conditions.
The old man opened his mouth, as if to say something, but closed it again.
"Senior, although you said that maybe I can't help, do you know my partner? It's that lewd-looking young man, can you see it? His master is very powerful, and he is about to come to save him, you can say, if I can't do it, there is still his master. "Actually, Jingli doesn't know who Master Mo Qiu is, but since he has broken the precepts without mercy, he should be very hard in the background.
"Will your friend's master listen to you?" The old man was a little hesitant, but he also knew that since this girl was not from the Feng family, she couldn't ask for more from her.
"I ended up in this field because I helped this friend, and then I just need to ask my friend to tell his master." Jingli patted her chest, showing that she was very confident.
In fact, she vaguely felt that this old man seemed to have only one soul body, so she could only talk to her in this state, and when she returned to reality, she would never sleep again, and this old man could not do anything to her.
"That's right." The old man nodded, "Then I don't want you to help me find someone, but you can help me save someone." It's much easier to save people than to find them, isn't it? There is a cave three miles away from here, where one of my juniors is kept, and if your friend's master comes, let him try to save my junior. ”
"Your junior won't be called Xie Meng, right?" (To be continued.) )
