221. The key is yours
After pondering for a long time, he asked lightly: "After that incident, will she be able to regain her senses?" "Actually, what I want to ask is, can Gao Cheng recover his sanity after being administered by them like this?
The old woman sneered, "Recovery? Is that thing gone, can it come back? Don't laugh. But it doesn't matter, for the sake of our lifeline, even if she does become a walking corpse in the future, I will still take care of her. ”
Zombie! I almost pulled my fingernails into the flesh, saying that it was Qiu Yuebai, but in fact it was Gao Cheng.
She seemed very excited to see that my face was not good, and she bent her waist slightly, and said, "But maybe, if she is infected by Chu Gaocheng's blood and eventually catalyzed into a demon, will I have half of her ability when you say it?" ”
The four eyes were sunk, and I saw that there was clear ill intentions in those eyes, and I didn't want to do what she wanted, so I said calmly and lightly: "You are dreaming!" She sneered and straightened up, and was about to say something when I interrupted: "First of all, I can tell you with great certainty: Gao Cheng will not become a demon. Whether it's you or the old man surnamed Zhou, you're just dreaming; Secondly, if Qiu Yuebai really has the ability that you have always dreamed of envy one day, do you think she might share half of you? ”
The old woman's face froze, and I took advantage of the victory to chase after and said: "Don't think that you are twins, once she succeeds, you will be able to get something from her for nothing, do you know what is the most difficult thing in this world?" Popularity. Since she could have found a way to transfer all the virus of exhaustion to you and make what should have been a six-month time limit become an indefinite extension, then she can also take all the power and you don't want to get a piece of the pie. I paused, looked at the old woman's discolored face, and then took a dose of fierce medicine: "Even, for that person, she will do anything." ”
"That person?"
I lowered my eyes and smiled lightly, "Isn't it heart-to-heart?" What is she thinking, you should know best, or are you in the same mind as her? Is this the real reason why she is desperate to attack you? ”
"You talk nonsense! I don't have a ...... about Chu Gaocheng at all" The old woman retorted excitedly, but she paused in the middle of the conversation, glared at me fiercely, and the next moment she turned around and slammed the door shut, and there was a clear sound of locking, and the room became silent.
I sat motionless in my chair, just after a victorious psychological war, but I felt very tired from my heart to body, and it hurt. Zhou Lao and the old woman must choose the old woman. So when Zhou Lao didn't make arrangements for me for the time being, I knew that my opportunity had come. She and Qiu Yuebai's heart knot has been laid for a long time, so long that it is not only the incident that Qiu Yuebai designed her a year ago, but the deeper knot is...... High City.
In fact, it is not difficult to think that Gao Cheng is the strongest of the strong in terms of appearance and ability, and Qiu Yuebai or the old woman have followed him for many years, and it is normal to be tempted by him. Coupled with the fact that I have not had a deep negotiation with Qiu Yuebai several times, women's intuition is usually very accurate in this regard. The way she looked at Gao Cheng, the way a woman looked at a man, there was admiration, admiration, and resentment, and her hostility towards me meant one thing: her heart was trapped in Gao Cheng.
It was the old woman's words that reminded me that their sisters had a heart to heart because of their twins, and since the autumn moon white I saw was interested in Gao Cheng, this emotion must be transmitted to the twin sisters. What's more, she has also been in contact with Gao Cheng personally, so no matter how well she is hidden, there is nothing to hide from that little thought.
Not for anything else, just to leave the seed of hesitation in her heart. There is a saying just now that does not open a river out of thin air: the most difficult thing in the world is the human heart. Even the twin sisters can't be trusted, I don't believe that she can be convinced by an old man over a hundred years old, it's nothing more than deterrence and profit.
After some contact with Old Man Zhou just now, I was firm in my heart: I must not let Qiu Yuebai succeed in testing the medicine by himself! I can't let Gao Cheng one day be hung upside down like her, with blood-red eyes and no mind, and become a humanoid bat. Thinking of Gao Cheng, there was comfort in his heart, and finally he was rescued by Xu Jiu and them, no matter whether he could wake up or not, at least he was out of the grasp of this group of madmen.
However, the old woman said that someone wanted to see me, so this person would not be the second choice except for Zhou Lao, and he still did not tell me his purpose. It seemed like he was interested in me just now, so could I be the white rat test subject?
A person thought about it for a while, but he didn't have an answer. The room gradually became darker, and strictly speaking, we had been in this valley for two days. It seemed that I heard the sound of an argument outside the door, I listened carefully, and the voices were very hoarse and ugly, suspected of being an old woman and a rakshasa, and then it seemed to have entered the stone house of Zhou Lao next door.
As soon as I thought about it, I moved to the corner and put my ear against the wall, but after listening to it for a while, I sighed. The stone layer was too thick, completely soundproof, I couldn't hear what they were talking about at all, but it didn't take long for the door to open the door, I subconsciously approached the door to hear what information could be spied on, but I heard heavy footsteps come to the door of my house and pause, through a door panel, the gloomy atmosphere can also penetrate in.
The old woman's voice came: "Master Sheng, please." ”
After a heavy snort, he walked away with a heavy step. I could hear it clearly, and the person standing outside the door was really the rakshasa. I have heard the title of "Shengye" twice, respectively, from the mouths of the two sisters Qiu Yuebai and the old woman, I don't know why, it seems that this Rakshasa and Zhou Lao are two forces, and there is a great meaning that the well water does not violate the river water.
There was a sound of unlocking outside the door, I hurriedly took a few steps back and sat back in the chair, the old woman pushed the door in, stared at me and said, "Old Zhou asked you to go to the next door to eat." I thought about getting up, and as I walked up to her, I paused and tilted my head slightly to look at her. She frowned and asked, "What are you looking at?" I replied in a whisper, "Actually, your eyes are beautiful." ”
Forgive me for complimenting her against my will, mentally suggesting that I hadn't learned, but knowing that breaking through the psychological defenses had to be done gradually. After throwing bricks, you have to learn to throw the bait into the water.
In the old woman's stunned look, I walked past her and walked into the stone house next door.
The so-called food is only a plate of what looks like pastries and a pot of rice soup on the table. Zhou Lao was already serving rice soup in his seat, and when he saw me coming in, he raised his eyes and didn't speak, so he lowered his head and drank the rice soup. I sat down across from him, unceremoniously picked up the bowl on the table and filled it with a bowl, grabbing another piece of pastry and stuffing it into my mouth. The pastry melts in your mouth, but it's a little sweet.
After I finished drinking a bowl of rice soup and eating three or four pieces of pastry, I looked up and saw Zhou Lao staring at me with a thoughtful expression.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he asked, "Aren't you afraid of medicine in the food?" ”
I grabbed another piece of pastry, took it in my hand and gently pinched it, some fine crumbs rustled on the table, and I lowered my eyes and asked, "Is there a difference?" If you were to use medicine on me, there were various methods, and if food was one of them, I would naturally choose this, like," I raised my eyes so that the cold in my eyes was exposed, "and put people in cages by despicable means, and then make the weapon less embarrassing." ”
Zhou Lao remained silent and said lightly: "You can only use extraordinary means for extraordinary people." Even so, doesn't it still make people run? I sneered, clenched my hands, and crumpled the piece of pastry all on the table and turned it into powder.
Zhou Lao turned a blind eye and asked me, "What do you think?" ”
I rolled my eyes, "What do you mean?" He glanced at me, "Your brain is so bright, I thought you were already clear." I couldn't help but laugh when I heard this, why did you have such a high opinion of me? Looking up slightly, staring at the position where Qiu Yuebai hung down before, the stone slab had been closed at this time, and he squinted his eyes and asked softly, "Why do you want to replace him with me?" ”
After thinking about it for a long time, the only possibility I could think of was this. But I can't figure out why.
Zhou Lao asked something that made me ashamed: "You have been together with him." "It's a bit subtle, but it's a very private matter, and it's embarrassing to be asked seriously by a hundred-year-old man. So he recoiled back in a bad tone: "What do you have to do with it? ”
How do you think the other party replied: "Qi and blood are connected, and blood alone can catalyze red pupils, so after you combine with him, the qi and veins intersect, and it is more suitable to become that carrier." In a sense, you have his breath, and you are equal to him. ”
"Ridiculous! You mean that as long as the woman is with him...... If you have a relationship with him, you can become the carrier you are talking about? ”
"Definitely!" Zhou Lao shook his head, "The key is you." ”
My heart sank, "Make it clear." Zhou Lao stirred the pot of rice soup with a soup spoon unhurriedly before saying, "If anyone else drinks my bowl of rice soup, including Ah Yue, the kung fu should have fallen." The herbs added here are all colorless and tasteless, but they can refine qi and blood, and their physique can't stand it so that qi and blood surge, but you can sit here and talk to me without different colors. ”
My eyes were fixed on the white soup, although I didn't care about what I said just now, but in fact, I was also betting that the old man in front of me would not be drugged in the food. Can it be ...... Still drugged! At present, there is no special feeling in the body except for the hot one, so I checked it in my heart, and simply asked directly: "Is it the Hell Demon Star?" ”
Zhou Lao didn't answer and asked: "Think it's terrible?" He shook his head in my acquiescence and said, "You are all wrong about the medicinal properties of this flower. As long as the portion is reasonable, it can only help the human body, and I might as well tell you that I have been consuming this medicinal porridge for 30 years. At first, I felt that my qi and blood were not smooth, but as the amount gradually increased, I was able to adapt to it. So, what you're drinking now is my 30-year-old medicated porridge. ”<
