365. Commitments
It is equivalent to saying that those people are dependent on him, but does this have an effect on him?
Gu Xi's answer was, "Then why do you think I'm staying in the dark city to suck the rotten qi of those flowers?" ”
At first, I was stunned and didn't react immediately, but then I gradually understood what he meant, and a kind of anger slowly grew in my heart. That's how this family is going to spoil him?!
Imprisoning him in that dark underground siege, so that he could not see the light and could only live on the death and corruption of Crystal Lan, all for the greed of these people. They wanted him to be like a puppet who would always supply nutrients, so as to steal his soul qi against the normal nature to achieve the goal of eternal life, and when he escaped this fate one day, these people did not hesitate to use the means of extinguishing his yuan lamp to try to destroy him because they were afraid of retribution.
Are all of these people born with the heart of a devil? The so-called family is really ironic for Gu Xi, because they don't regard him as a member of the family at all, but just a tool.
The seventh letter he wrote to me flashed through my mind, and he explained to me that he had just written it casually, but in fact he lied at the time, and it was the only lie he had ever told me.
Every line is still clearly engraved in my mind:
Do you believe in fate? I didn't believe it before, but now I do.
It's as if there is a destiny in the dark, and from the moment I was born, my destiny has been written.
Whether I was struggling or in pain, it was there, quietly watching me.
Step into the cycle of fate.
Or Gu Xi knew that his every move would be controlled by the family, including the letter he wrote to me and the meaning he wanted to convey, so he deliberately wrote those few lines to confuse people; But I thought it might be a true expression of his feelings, because he had decided that he wanted me to disappear from this world, and he might as well confide in me some of his true feelings when I was dying.
When people are in a long-term repressive environment and there is no one to talk to, they may eventually want to explode for a moment. I finally understood where his perverse character came from, and who wanted their existence to be just a vessel for the rest of their lives?
After a long silence, I couldn't help but reach out to stroke his face, this handsome skin had actually resented the injustice of fate, right? Asked softly, "Then how did you get out of such a fate?" ”
From what he said, it was clear that at least until he left the underground siege, the natal lamp was actually still under his control, otherwise he would not be willing and would not be so obedient to stay there.
I asked that, but he suddenly laughed, took off my hand, looked around, and asked, "Where do you think this is?" I was stunned for a moment, I don't understand why he suddenly changed the topic, this is still the place with warm stones before his inexplicable sleepiness hits, but I don't know where it is.
Instead, he suddenly let go of his arm around me and pulled me off the warm rock, then walked towards the stone wall. Seeing that he was about to hit the stone wall, he still had no intention of stopping, but at that moment, a magical scene happened.
We physically walked through the wall without any hindrance!
My vision suddenly darkened, and I entered an absolutely dark space, and after my eyes calmed down, I found that it was a very large and huge space, and the sense of emptiness was very strong. I was about to ask what this place was, but out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a vaguely familiar scene, and then I turned around in a daze, so stunned that I couldn't speak.
This...... How can it be?
Gu Xi smiled in his ear and asked, "How?" Is it more than Liu Qian's magic trick to interpret the moment of witnessing miracles? ”
I don't care if his tone is tsundere or whatever, but I repeatedly recognize and deny it in my head, and finally hear myself mutter, "This shouldn't be in the underground siege under Bryn Town, right?" ”
But he said with a smile: "No, where have you seen this kind of city wall?" Badaling? ”
I know that he is deliberately ridiculing, but I really want to say that Badaling is more reliable than the underground siege. Obviously we are under the ground of that family, how can we come to Brin Town?
Wait, the car we came to get off the highway is also to take the Beijing-Tianjin line, and I have also judged that their family will not leave Bollinger Town too far, before He Zhixu drove alone around and around not to let us know the specific route, wouldn't it be to hide the secret that this family is actually next to Bollinger Town, right?
Under my shocked gaze, Gu Xi had already gained insight into my thoughts: "Just what you think, even I was trampled away at first. They deliberately pretended to let the shadow meet me on it to divert their attention, until one day when I understood the meaning of the existence of this wall, the time for reversal officially came. The process of moving from passive to active was really enjoyable, and when I walked up to the stage, I started to think that the game could finally become fun instead of being static. ”
Just listening to him tell it like this was shocking, imagining that after he dialysed the secrets of this wall, he went in, and then explored all the way to the bottom of the altar, and then found that the family that had imprisoned him for many years was actually close at hand. It is conceivable that the expression on his face at that time must have been cruel with pleasure, because God handed him the knife, and there was no reason why he should not take it. If it were me, I'm afraid I would have demonized like him and wanted to take revenge, but I don't understand why he didn't just extinguish the lights of those people? Also, he should have done something with his natal lamp.
Sure enough, Gu Xi admitted it to me very frankly. He shrugged his shoulders and said to me with a nonsensical expression: "There's no reason why I shouldn't." After the game is reshuffled, it's up to me to decide who is involved in the game, and turning out the lights can certainly make the group of people lose their spirits, but the best way to play is to let them enjoy the process of fear, disappointment and despair. Do you know why they finally put out my lantern? ”
Naturally, I didn't know, and I knew that he didn't really want me to answer, but I saw him pause and then said: "Back then, after I took the Yuan Shen away from the Yuan Lantern, I injected a trace of soul energy into it to maintain the appearance, and this is a souvenir I left for them." ”
"What happened?" I also know that it is not as simple as it seems, and the "souvenir" in Gu Xi's mouth sounds worrying, with his character, it is impossible to be soft on the clansmen.
I saw that the corners of his mouth showed a cruel smile, and his eyes became gloomy: "How did they use the Yuan Lantern to encroach on the soul qi of the past and use the same method to suck it back." So are the people you see getting very old? ”
I was shocked and asked, "You mean to let them spit out all the soul energy they sucked away?" ”
"What's fun just to spit it out, you must double your own. Hmph, how do you know that Xu was lit on the natal yuan lamp for a short time, so he didn't consume too much of his primordial spirit, otherwise he would only be an old man if you see him. ”
"......" I was speechless, he is really a character who will be repaid, no one should try to take advantage of him, otherwise you will be asked to pay it back. That is to say, in fact, he knew that Xu was still young, but he was counterattacked by him and looked like he was in his thirties. Then this family obviously found out about this and had to extinguish the Yuan Lantern left by Gu Xi, in addition to self-preservation, they must never suffer in the future.
But this time, using me to renew the natal element lamp, they are not afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past?
Gu Xi explained to me: First of all, three years ago, He Zhixu found out that Gu Xi was not dead, which was a happy event for their family. Extinguishing his Yuan Lantern was a choice that had to be made back then, and the consequences they suffered in the next ten years made them regret it a lot, so when they learned that Gu Xi was not dead, they tried their best to arrest him back, but they didn't have a chance. Now this opportunity has come, borrowing my shell to light up his yuan lamp in this family is a gamble, if the bet loses at most, it will be extinguished again, but if the bet wins, it will "benefit" the whole family.
In fact, this bet is probably a win.
I don't know how it works, but I can tell from how bright or dark the flames are.
Gu Xi's eyes had a deep and indistinguishable color, and just when I thought he would give me a clearer answer, I saw that his expression narrowed and said, "Let's go, since you're here, let's go home and take a walk." ”
I was dragged along by him, and I was a little suspicious of my ears: he actually called this place that imprisoned him for the first half of his life ...... Family?
And when he was pulled out of the distance, he thought of something, turned his head, squinted at the wall, and realized that he had missed a very important question. But now...... Looking at Gu Xi's side face, it seemed that it was not the time to ask any more questions.
When I came to the front of the hut, my heart twitched inexplicably, and a dull pain could not be restrained. The nightmare of three years ago impressed me too deeply, and he personally carved a sharp knife into my brain, so even if I have released my hatred for him when I go back to the old place, I will still feel deep pain for this place, and I will also feel afraid of those three bets.
So as I stepped on the crystal orchid step by step towards the house, my body involuntarily began to tremble. It was impossible for Gu Xi's acumen not to notice it, but he neither stopped nor looked back at me, and I felt my heart sinking little by little.
When I was about to enter the door, I grabbed his arm and said word by word: "Gu Xi, you have to promise me that this time you will not hide me from death like three years ago!" I accentuated the word "death" at the end, which meant something I believed he could understand. Only then did he turn his eyes, and his dark eyes locked on me for a moment, and then said, "I promise you." ”
It felt like a hammer had been hammered to the core, and it was the first time he had really committed to me. But instead of breathing a sigh of relief, I felt like I had been crushed by a heavy stone.
