21. Dark Tide (I)
On the prop street in the central block, Bai Lu happily walked in front, Zhou Miao followed her footsteps indifferently while drinking a carton of milk, and then followed by the slow Zhang Longqian and Ji Haiyun.
Although the props around her looked very peculiar and were all things that could arouse Zhang Long's curiosity, the initial interest could not be seen on her face at this moment.
It's no wonder that she walked around this place with others for two or three hours and didn't buy anything, and anyone would be like her if she was replaced.
In fact, Bai Lu doesn't have anything she wants to buy, but she just likes to run around on the street, just looking at those strange things, she is very happy and satisfied, and Zhou Miao, who usually never goes shopping, also has a strong interest in looking at those strange props, so even if she has been gone for a long time, she has no intention of stopping Bai Lu at all.
Looking at the two figures who did not listen to persuasion, Zhang Long sighed secretly, and she could only whisper sorry to Ji Haiyun, and helplessly continued to accompany the two interested friends to press the road in the central block.
This walk, another two hours of walking.
By the time she finally returned to the dormitory, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Longqian really felt that accompanying them for a few hours was more tiring than her fighting, and the devastation of history class during the day was still in her heart, she felt even more tired, and after barely cheering up and saying goodnight to everyone, Zhang Longqian quickly fell asleep on the bed.
It didn't take long for Zhou Miao and Bai Lu's 410 to turn off the lights, and the 411 bedroom opposite 412 was also pitch black, but in the room, Ji Haiyun didn't sleep, he sat quietly in the dark, with no sleepiness on his face.
Holding the transparent Yaozhu in his hand, Ji Haiyun's gaze did not stay on it, he didn't know where he was looking, he seemed to be thinking about something, but after a long time, his face did not show a relieved expression of getting an answer, but became more and more serious.
Time flows slowly in the silent silence.
After a long time, he gently pinched Yaozhu, Ji Haiyun finally retracted his gaze, he quietly used his mana to activate Yaozhu, and between the flow of light, the phantom of Zhang Hanguang sitting on the chair appeared.
"It's so late, Haiyun, do you have anything else to do with the old man?"
Although he asked like this, Zhang Hanguang's face did not show the slightest surprise, as if he had known that Ji Haiyun would contact him, which made Ji Haiyun couldn't help frowning, and he groaned for a while and said seriously.
"Old man, who is the eldest lady?"
Facing Ji Haiyun's serious eyes, Zhang Hanguang smiled: "It's really a brainless problem." Don't you know her name? ”
"Old man, I'm telling you seriously!" The wrinkles between his eyebrows deepened a little, and Ji Haiyun's face couldn't see a relaxed and hearty appearance at all, "It's also my dereliction of duty, until today I didn't notice that the eldest lady's memory had been tampered with, and a large part of the memory had been tampered with, and I knew the prohibition of tampering with her memory." After a pause, his voice lowered, and every word seemed very solemn.
“…… That was the prohibition of the Ji family. ”
In the entire Dao Law Realm, there is only one Ji family.
In the Ji family, the actions of any clansman must be approved by the head of the family and the young master, even if it is an emergency, it is not required to comply with this article, but at least it must be reported afterwards, but in Ji Haiyun's impression, he doesn't remember anyone who has "tampered with the memory of mortals" at all.
The most important thing is that, as far as Ji Haiyun is concerned, that prohibition is not as simple as changing memories.
Because of that prohibition, it is likely that even Zhang Longqian's personality has been distorted.
Something like this that will affect the trajectory of mortals' lives is never allowed in the entire Dao Law Realm, and that person not only conceals the actions of the young master of the Ji family, but also dares to violate the regulations of the Dao Law Realm, he can really be regarded as the first strange person in the Ji family.
There was no surprise, no understanding, and there was not even any reaction, after hearing this information, Zhang Hanguang just looked at Ji Haiyun in the dark quietly, and didn't say anything, which made Ji Haiyun frown even deeper.
"Old man, you must know what's going on, otherwise you don't have to have me, the 'Young Master of the Ji Family' who has been practicing in the mountains all year round, come over."
Looking at the determination in Ji Haiyun's eyes, Zhang Hanguang still sat quietly, without saying a word, his eyes were like a pool of water without the slightest ripple, stable and bottomless, unable to see the slightest thought.
Sighing slightly, Ji Haiyun's tone became respectful and tough.
"Old man, if you don't want to say it, Haiyun can't force it, but in this case, Haiyun will have to do what he thinks. You also know that as the young master of the Ji family, the family's spells can't be broken by Haiyun, and the ban on tampering with her memory can't be difficult for me either. ”
Looking at Ji Haiyun's resolute figure, Zhang Hanguang finally spoke lightly.
"Do you want to help her or hurt her?"
"Help her, of course, otherwise she will probably live in a false life all the time."
"What is emptiness? What is true? Zhang Hanguang smiled lightly, unfathomable, "What you think is 'real' may be 'virtual' that she can't accept." ”
Ji Haiyun couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Old man, I don't want to talk to you about this kind of fruitless topic, I just want to get an answer." With a smile, his gaze was very serious and affirmative, "You know about this prohibition, right?" ”
For more than 1,000 years, the rule of "all actions must be under the management of the head of the family and the young master" has been perfectly followed in the Ji family, and no Ji family member has ever violated it, and there will never be a Ji family member who will violate this rule.
However, there is one exception.
-- When the head of the Zhang family, the family they serve, personally ordered that nothing should be said.
The commands of the Lord's house are greater than all else.
This is the first iron rule of the Ji family.
If there was a person from the Ji family who quietly imposed a ban on Zhang Longqian a long time ago, but Ji Haiyun never knew about it, then it could only be that Zhang Hanguang acquiesced in that person's actions.
Seeing that Zhang Hanguang was silent again, Ji Haiyun secretly struggled.
He knew that as the young master of the Ji family, he had to have no suspicion about the Zhang family, and he also understood that he was very rude to ask questions like this, but since he found out that there was a ban on tampering with memories on Zhang Longqian's body, Ji Haiyun's heart had been surging with a bad premonition, a premonition that made him very uneasy.
You have to know the answer.
Gritting his teeth, Ji Haiyun still asked seriously.
"Old man, before the incident of the Five Elements Sword happened, you knew about the existence of the eldest lady, right? Why use a ban on her? Who the hell is she? ”
