Chapter 207: Everything Goes to Zero
The valley was empty, the wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, and everything turned white as far as the eye could see, and Shen Bai himself also had a lot of snow on his body, and his clothes were soon all wet.
The chill penetrated from the skin to the cracks in the bones, and Shen Bai shivered, not knowing if Brother Gu really didn't want to see her anymore or if he was really haunted by some change and couldn't come to see her.
There was no way to continue like this, Shen Bai forced himself to calm down, according to the technique that Yunshang had taught before, silently recited the heart trick, first ensured his body temperature, and then raised his wrist and tried to urge the soul bell.
She doesn't know much about incense making, and if Brother Gu really gets into any trouble, the soul bell should be able to guide her.
With a slight flick of the wrist, the soul-attracting bell emitted a light and crisp sound, and the sound echoed in the valley, with a reassuring power of its own.
There was still only wind and snow around, and there were no other abnormalities, Shen Bai twisted his eyebrows and began to chant a requiem.
The surroundings were silent, this chant seemed quite abrupt, after singing two sentences, the horse under him suddenly took two steps back, Shen Bai subconsciously tightened the reins of the horse, the wind and snow became bigger and bigger, making people unable to open their eyes, and a deafening tiger roar resounded through the valley.
The horse under him was frightened, raised his front hooves high, the wind and snow suddenly became stronger, and Shen Bai fell off the horse.
Under the snow were sharp stones, Shen Bai was pierced by the stones, and he rolled twice to stabilize his body, but he was splashed with hot blood.
The horse she rode was scratched by a white tiger jumping out of the snowstorm and broke its neck.
The white tiger's whole body hair was snow-white and spotless, but its eyes were scarlet, and one paw slapped on the horse's neck, and the sharp claw tips were stained with blood, and fell to the ground, making deep blood marks in the snow.
This white tiger was also seen by Shen Bai when he was in Nanxiang.
It was the beast spirit raised by Yuanjun.
But at that time, wasn't this beast spirit killed by Brother Gu, and Yuan Jun had already been beheaded.
Shen Bai was stunned, but the white tiger didn't give her a chance to figure everything out, and after slapping the horse to death, she immediately turned her head and attacked Shen Bai.
Shen Bai silently recited the mantra, and the bells on his head and feet rang with him.
Dongfang Ling gave her a total of three strings of bells, and this was the first time Shen Bai heard three strings of bells ring at the same time.
As soon as the bell rang, the White Tiger's movements were much slower, and Shen Bai barely had a chance to dodge, but she came in a hurry, and she didn't have a weapon in her hand, so it was not a way to hide like this.
Thoughts were racing, Shen Bai tried to think of countermeasures, but the white tiger was so angry by the sound of the bell that he roared and struggled to attack Shen Bai.
The snow and stones on the ground were all lifted, and Shen Bai couldn't dodge, and was hit in the shoulder by a bowl-sized stone.
The white tiger was infinitely powerful, Shen Bai was directly smashed to the ground, his shoulder bone was almost shattered, Shen Bai snorted, suppressed the fishy sweetness in his mouth, and was about to fight back, the white tiger had pounced in front of him, his front paws pressed on her legs, and Shen Bai immediately heard the sound of bones breaking.
The disparity in strength was too great, Shen Bai couldn't beat it at all, he thought that he would definitely die, a red light suddenly flashed, the white tiger was forced to retreat, and the eastern shadow stepped into the air, blocking in front of Shen Bai.
Shen Bai breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help muttering: "If you come slowly, you can collect the body for the master." ”
"There's a soul-attracting bell, you can't die." Dongfang Ying said calmly, casting a spell and fighting with the white tiger.
Dongfang Ying's playing style was quite savage, the snow and stones on the ground were blown up by the spell and splashed everywhere, not wanting to be injured by mistake, Shen Baiqiang climbed to the side, trying to find a safe place to hide, and the sound of horses' hooves came in his ears, and when he turned around, Gu Hengzhou rode over in a bamboo blue brocade robe.
The snow is still falling, the cold wind is cold, this person's eyebrows are firm, his eyes are sharp, like a peerless sword, no matter at any time, it can cut through the darkness and cut through the thorns.
Gu Hengzhou quickly came to Shen Bai's side, turned over and dismounted, knelt in front of Shen Bai on one knee, and saw her two fleshy legs at a glance, his face immediately sank, and asked, "In addition to the legs, where else are there injuries?" ”
"My shoulder hurts a little."
Shen Bai replied truthfully, she is like this now, there is no way to ride back to the city,
Gu Hengzhou took out the dagger he was carrying and cut Shen Bai's pants, and said in a deep voice: "Your leg is seriously injured, I will help you bandage it first, it will hurt, you bear with it." ”
After Gu Hengzhou finished speaking, he took off his coat and tore it into strips of cloth, and was about to take it to help Shen Bai wrap his legs, and he made a move.
Shen Bai's bloody leg was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was obviously not the reaction of a normal person's body.
Shen Bai also noticed the changes in his body, and just as he didn't know what to say, a sad tiger roar came from the depths of the valley.
It should have been the white tiger that was killed.
Shen Bai turned his head to look over there, Dongfang Ying didn't come back, Gu Hengzhou also followed her line of sight, and asked in a low voice, "What did you see?" ”
Shen Bai didn't answer and asked, "Gu Hengzhou, did you hear it just now?" ”
Gu Hengzhou asked, "What did you hear?" ”
His voice was low, his eyes were concerned, and there was a faint expectation of hope, he couldn't hear those voices, but he hoped that Shen Bai could tell him.
Shen Bai's heart seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and then it was densely filled with pain.
Gu Hengzhou is an ordinary person, he can't see the soul or hear the voice of the soul, and those souls shouldn't be able to hurt him.
If Shen Bai hadn't gone to Nanxiang and hadn't gotten the soul bell, he would have continued to live an ordinary life like him, and in a few years, they would get married and live the life they wanted.
She will never know what kind of bizarre world Brother Gu is facing with a sad and joyful face, what kind of pain she has to endure, and she will always live in a place she can't see.
Hanchen wore a sad and joyful face, and lived alone for more than two hundred years, in order to alleviate the pain, he could only let himself lose his memory over and over again.
What about Brother Gu? He is so proud, he probably won't choose to lose his memory.
Compared with the time of two hundred years, a person's life is too short, Shen Bai will grow old and die, if she doesn't know anything, she lives this life with peace of mind and happiness, how will Brother Gu face the next long and endless time alone?
Shen Bai's throat was choked badly, he lowered his eyes to hide his emotions from Gu Hengzhou, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just accidentally fell off the horse by myself, it will be fine in a while." ”
As he spoke, most of the injuries on Shen Bai's legs had recovered, and the flying flesh turned into three paw prints, and his recovery speed slowed down.
After waiting for a while, Gu Hengzhou picked up Shen Bai and said, "I'll take you back to the city." ”
Gu Hengzhou first put Shen Bai on the horse's back, and then turned over on the horse, and his hands passed under Shen Bai's armpits to grab the horse's reins.
Although the wound recovered, the pain in his body was real, Shen Bai was a little tired, and he inevitably crashed into Gu Hengzhou's arms, and Shen Bai leaned over and hugged the horse's neck.
Gu Hengzhou's hand holding the horse's reins tightened, staring at Shen Bai for a long time, but after all, he didn't say anything, turned the horse's head and walked towards the outside of the valley.
Gu Hengzhou chased Shen Bai alone, the two rode into the city, and when they returned to the city, it was almost dark, Gu Hengzhou took Shen Bai to the hospital first.
The injury on Shen Bai's leg has completely healed, and his calf and stomach are smooth and smooth.
Gu Hengzhou didn't let Shen Bai get off the horse, and went directly to the infirmary to ask for a few pairs of medicine for treating external injuries, and then sent Shen Bai back to Taifu's mansion.
When he was about to arrive at Taifu's mansion, the guards came to report, saying that not long after Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou left, Su Xiaoqiu felt unwell, and vomited blood as soon as he returned to Su's house, and Zhao Che summoned Gu Hengzhou into the palace.
Gu Hengzhou listened quietly, let the guards leave, and personally sent Shen Bai to the Taifu Mansion.
Shen Bai dismounted, took the medicine bag from Gu Hengzhou's hand, looked up at him and said, "His Royal Highness Xie Shizi sent me back, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned me without delay, His Royal Highness the Prince should enter the palace quickly." ”
After Shen Bai finished speaking, he turned around and was about to enter the house, and as soon as he took a step, Gu Hengzhou opened his mouth and called her: "Shen Bai." ”
Shen Bai turned his head and looked at him calmly, Gu Hengzhou said, "Don't do stupid things, he won't want you to do such a thing." ”
But I don't want him to do such a stupid thing.
Shen Bai said in his heart, the corners of his lips rose, restoring Shen Xiaoye's uninhibited and uninhibited, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm afraid of pain and death, and I can't do anything stupid." ”
Gu Hengzhou still sat on the horse and didn't move, Shen Bai turned around and was about to leave, Gu Hengzhou said, "I really like you." ”
That's why I went to the imperial court to ask for you to be the lord of the county, I fell out with my second uncle and set up my own door, I tried to buy gifts to make you happy, and I thought about you countless times in my dreams in the months I left......
In the past two lifetimes, this is the first time Shen Bai has heard Gu Hengzhou say that he likes her so bluntly.
The body froze, only the heart beat wildly, because of joy, but also because of sadness.
She looked at Gu Hengzhou, bent her eyes to reveal her best smile, and said softly, "I know." ”
His liking has always been restrained and low-key, long and meticulous, in the last life, he did not expose her daughter's body, did not say half a word of like, but did countless favorite things for her.
In this life, she stalked him, he never felt that she was cheap and shameless, and after confirming his heart, he still held the best things in front of her.
His love has always been firm, clear, and sincere.
Xu has saved eight lifetimes of blessings before she can get such a preference and love from him.
His eyes were a little hot, Shen Bai blinked and suppressed his tears, and said firmly: "Gu Hengzhou, my liking is not fake. ”
So if there must be one person between us who suffers, I hope that person will never be you.
In the previous life, Shen Bai saw Gu Hengzhou leave, but this time, after Shen Bai finished speaking, he turned around and left first.
Although the injuries on her body have healed, her cloak is dirty, and her trouser legs are still scratched, which is much more embarrassed than when she left.
After changing clothes, it was already dark, and the next person served dinner, Shen Bai asked Chabai and Lujian to sit down to eat together, and explained the matter of selling wood in detail, Chabai was careful, Lujian was bold, and there should be no problem for the two to cooperate.
At the beginning, the two followed Shen Bai from Muzhou to Hanjing, and Shen Bai did not write a deed of sale for them, and now that the Sun family has Shen Po as a backer, the mistress's temper will eventually get bigger, Shen Bai suggested that the two go out to buy a house by themselves and do some small business, so that life can be more nourishing.
Lujian and Cha Bai were both frightened by Shen Bai's arrangement, they didn't know what was going on, Shen Bai was inconvenient to say more, and left a token, after all, they were not from Hanjing, and they were likely to be in trouble when they bought a house, and with Shen Bai's token, they could also find Wu Shouxin and Zhou Jue to help accommodate them.
After doing this, Shen Bai drove the two out of the room, sat in the room with the mask given by Hanchen and waited quietly, at three o'clock, Dongfang Ying came in from the window, Shen Bai said faintly: "Two hundred years ago, Dongfang Ling was changed in a spiritual dream, and that dream gave birth to two dream spirits, one of which was me, and the other pestered Dongfang Meng to Nanxiang late, and now that evil spirit should be in Hanjing, what does he want to do?" ”
Dongfang Ying has been elusive in the past few days, and has been pretending to be unpredictable and has not shared information with Shen Bai, so Shen Bai can only take the initiative to ask.
Xu is fight with the White Tiger today made Dongfang Ying realize the seriousness of the matter, and he said frankly: "I thought that the person who was making trouble behind the scenes was Yuanjun, but I didn't expect it to be an evil spirit two hundred years ago, no wonder it is so powerful." ”
Shen Bai repeated the question just now and asked, "What does it want to do?" ”
Dongfang Ying said: "You should be one, it naturally wants to merge with you, it has its own autonomous consciousness, it can change its form at will, its ability is far above ordinary people, stronger than all souls, it sounds closer to gods and demons, I have never heard of this kind of thing before, and I am not sure what the consequences will be after you merge." ”
Dongfang Ying's answer to Shen Bai was not surprised, she nodded, her expression was solemn, and Dongfang Ying said: "But its current ability is barely under control, after all, it has not done anything shocking in the past two hundred years, if we can lift the curse of the sad and happy side one step ahead of it, there should be a glimmer of hope." ”
"The evil spirit should be on that woman named Su Xiaoqiu, since its target is me, is there any way to lure it out and let it follow me?"
Dongfang Ying raised his eyebrows, Shen Bai thought of going with him, and he asked Shen Bai, "Where do you want to lead it?" ”
Shen Bai had already thought about this problem, and immediately said: "The sad and joyful side appeared in Dongheng Kingdom, if you can, in these two days, I want to set off with you to Dongheng, and it is naturally best to lead it to Dongheng and solve it together." ”
"Hanjing still has so many things, can you let it go?" Dongfang Ying asked, Shen Bai said calmly: "I am already a person who has died once, there is nothing that cannot be let go of these things, after all, Zhaoling is so big, it is not that I will die without me, I don't have to regard myself as so important." ”
Zhaoling is gone, she is still Zhaoling, but if she doesn't care about Brother Gu, Brother Gu will really be left alone.
Dongfang Ying snapped his fingers, he was originally worried that Shen Bai would be troubled by these mundane things and would not leave, and it would take him a lot of words, but now Shen Bai took the initiative to go to Dongheng, which was naturally the best.
Dongfang Ying said: "The power of that evil spirit is very great, it locks the spirit of Yuanjun, because it can drive Shen Qi, but unlike the incense maker who raises souls, it is to absorb all these souls, so as to integrate with itself, its current ability is not very strong, like Shen Qi, a soul that has survived for more than two hundred years, it can't digest it for a while, and it will also be affected by Shen Qi." ”
Shen Bai listened carefully to Dongfang Ying's words, immediately figured out the cause and effect, and asked, "Did you deliberately let it suck Shen Qi away?" ”
Dongfang Ying said: "That little ghost can't do without you, as long as you go, under the influence of the little ghost, it will definitely follow." ”
Shen Bai was silent, if she hadn't been able to destroy that evil spirit, would Shen Qi have died in the end, and she still wouldn't be able to enter reincarnation?
Shen Bai was a little worried, but after thinking about it, if she couldn't destroy that evil spirit, even she herself would be swallowed, and she wouldn't have time to worry so much.
This time it was a battle against the water.
Shen Bai asked Dongfang Ying: "When can we go to Dongheng?" ”
"Anytime."
Dongfang Ying replied without hesitation, if it wasn't for Shen Bai's previous return to Zhaoling, he would have taken Shen Bai directly to Dongheng.
Shen Bai hesitated for a moment and asked Dongfang Ying: "Is there any technique in the Dongfang family that can seal a person's memory without harming people's bodies?" ”
Dongfang Ying asked: "Whose memory are you going to seal?" ”
Shen Bai hesitated and said, "It's not to seal the memory, it's to let him stop loving someone." ”
The Dongfang family was cursed by Dongfang Mengwan, and in the past two hundred years, many disasters have occurred, and many people are in pain because of this, so they naturally have studied a lot of techniques to forget pain, and this kind of spell that Shen Bai wants actually has it, and it was founded by Yunshang.
Yunshang was deceived by the perfumer and killed the child, although she killed the perfumer with her own hands, these pains tormented her day and night, she spent ten years studying a kind of anti-anxiety technique, and used it on herself, and then mentioning that man was like mentioning an irrelevant stranger.
"This method has only been used by the master alone, and it seems that it is not harmful to the body at present, but I'm not sure if it is useful for men, do you want to use this?" Dongfang Ying said truthfully, Shen Bai nodded, and Dongfang Ying persuaded, "This time it's not completely impossible to win, you may be able to come back safe and sound, now use the worry solving technique, and ...... when the time comes"
Shen Bai directly interrupted Dongfang Ying and said firmly: "I make my own choice, and I will bear the consequences." ”
Dongfang Ying didn't persuade anymore, taught Shen Bai the trick, and took Shen Bai to the house where Gu Hengzhou lived at night.
It was already the second half of the night, and the entire Hanjing was quiet, and Dongfang Ying pinched a spell outside, saying, "No one will come in for half an hour, you can go." ”
Shen Bai pushed the door into Gu Hengzhou's room, there was no incense or fire in the room as usual, Gu Hengzhou fell asleep quietly on the bed, very deserted.
Shen Bai walked to the bedside, perhaps because she had practiced incense-making, she could clearly see Gu Hengzhou's face in the dark room.
She silently recited the mantra, and the soul-attracting bell began to glow with a faint green light, and she began to shake her wrist slightly, and the soul-attracting bell made a crisp and ethereal sound.
Since her rebirth, she has tried her best to make Gu Hengzhou like her, but now, she is destroying her own efforts with her own hands, so that from now on, he will no longer like her and no longer be attracted to her.
All...... Zero.
