Chapter 37: I Can Save You
Linlang is well taken care of here in Zhong Jiu, she doesn't have to do anything, she eats, drinks and has fun every day. It's just that she doesn't have much time to play, and sometimes she will inevitably feel unwell, so she will be driven to sleep by Zhong Jiu.
Go to bed? When she hears the word sleep now, she yawns reflexively. On this day, she had just finished drinking the medicine that had made her miserable, and sat on a wicker chair with her eyes closed. Zhong Jiu said that he had something to do and wanted to go to the underworld.
She lay there, didn't even bother to lift her eyelids, waved her hand at Zhong Jiu indiscriminately, and said weakly, "Go, go, go." ”
Zhong Jiu shook his head helplessly, took a quilt for her, and put it on her. Although it was early summer, the weather was not good. She was greedy for coolness and changed into summer clothes early. He covered her, touched her face again, and whispered, "Hello is waiting for me at home, and I will be back soon." ”
Not long after Zhong Jiu left, Linlang took a nap and woke up feeling refreshed. She stretched and got up from her chair. I went to the bookcase on the side and flipped through it for a while. She had been in a bad mood the other day, and every time she tried to flip through the books here, she would always get sleepy.
Linlang took a copy casually, and on the cover was a hand-copied word, called "Divine Soul Record". There is no attribution, so it is not known who the author is. She flipped through a few pages and found that this book was a record of anecdotes from the underworld.
She was a little interested and ready to read it. Naturally, there must be a good environment for studying, so she first learned from Zhong Jiu and made herself a pot of tea. In order to let her take medicine well, Zhong Jiu prepared a lot of sweet money for her, and she filled a full plate. She tucked the book under her arm, held the tray in both hands, and staggered to the backyard.
Putting all the things on the stone table in the courtyard, spreading out the book, holding the teacup in one hand, and taking a sip from time to time, such a time really made her feel comfortable.
The story in "Soul Record" is quite interesting, and Linlang watched it with relish. When I saw half of it, one of the chapters was actually about Lost Soul Gu. It probably has something to do with her, and she takes it very seriously. Throughout the article, the basic content is nothing more than that everyone who has used the Lost Soul Gu has been stupid for a lifetime. She couldn't imagine how miserable she would be when she became like this. Red Aya really hated her to the bone, and even punished her in such a way. She obviously didn't mean it, and she apologized very sincerely, but Hong Aya was always unwilling to let her go.
She didn't understand it at first, but now she thinks about what the connection is with Bai Yingning before. Hong Aya and Zhong Jiu know each other, and she and Bai Yingning must also know each other. She sighed, if Bai Yingning and Hong Aya had a holiday, then it was right for Hong Aya to come to her for revenge.
It's just that Hong Aya gave her a trick, she always has to know why, and she has to die clearly.
She was thinking about it when a low laugh suddenly came to mind. She jerked her head up, and saw a man sitting on the roof, dressed in a dark green robe, and the flowers embroidered on the robe were exactly the same as those in the courtyard.
Linlang didn't know him, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" Why is it on the roof of my house? ”
The man rested his elbows on the roof tiles, lay on his back leisurely, and said in a very aggrieved voice: "It's so sad that you forgot me so quickly." ”
This voice was familiar to her, and she thought for a while before she suddenly realized: "You are the Night King?" The room was dark that day, and she didn't see the true face of Yejun, but she was a little impressed by such a lazy voice.
Night-kun chuckled softly, and suddenly flew down from the roof, calculated the location, and landed right next to the stool in front of her. Without waiting for her to speak, he sat down. He took the teapot on the table very familiarly, poured a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.
Linlang looked at it dumbfounded, and after a while, she muttered, "That's the cup I used." ”
"Oh?" Yejun took the cup, turned around, and said with a wicked smile: "No wonder there is a fragrant fragrance of a girl!" ”
Linlang was so embarrassed by his ridicule that her face turned red, she reacted, picked up the book in her hand, threw it at Yejun, and scolded in her mouth: "I don't know shame." ”
Yejun steadily took the book she threw over, flipped through it in front of his eyes, and said with a chuckle: "Books like "Divine Soul Record" are nothing more than boasting about the merits of the underworld and exaggerating their merits, which are very hypocritical, and there is nothing to look at. ”
Linlang glared at him and said coldly, "What does it have to do with you?" Give me back the book. As he spoke, he spread out his palms and stretched them out in front of the Night King.
Unexpectedly, Yejun not only didn't give it to her, but also grabbed her fingers. Linlang was startled and hurriedly pulled back. Yejun probably just wanted to tease her, and quickly let go.
Linlang was so angry that she trembled, this guy came over to tease her. She is not so easy to bully, she quietly put her hand into her arms, and as soon as she touched the handle of the Soul Eater Knife, she heard the Night Monarch say faintly: "You think you can hurt me with that little knife?" You're underestimating me, too. ”
Linlang didn't expect him to see through her thoughts at a glance, no, he didn't look at her at all. He was obviously looking down at the book. Linlang reluctantly gave up, gritted her teeth and looked at him and said, "What do you want to do here?" ”
Yejun looked up at her, smiled very gently, and said, "Let's chat, reminisce about the past." ”
Zhong Jiu told her that Yejun was a fierce and violent demon, but she couldn't imagine his gentle and kind appearance now. She was really a perfect pretender, and she said angrily: "What is there to reminisce, are we very familiar with each other?" ”
Yejun looked at her with very affectionate eyes, so that Linlang was a little stunned. He suddenly laughed, and said slowly, word by word: "Is the childhood sweetheart familiar?" ”
Linlang was a little shocked for a while, and was stunned for a long time before she slowly asked, "You mean, you and Bai Yingning are childhood sweethearts?" ”
Yejun was taken aback for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly returned to his previous gentle and gentle appearance, and said with a smile: "Do you know that Bai Yingning is your previous life?" It's really surprising that Zhong Wuqi is willing to tell you. ”
"What do you mean? Who is Zhong Wuqi? Linlang asked suspiciously.
The Night Monarch glanced at her, smiled very disdainfully, and said, "Zhong Wuqi, the first ghost king under the throne of Hades, only obeys the orders of the Hades and clears all the obstacles of the underworld for the Hades. Because he is the ninth generation of the ghost king who serves the Hades, he is also called Zhong Jiu. ”
"Zhong Jiu is the Ghost King?" Linlang suddenly remembered that in the field, the piece of jade pendant she picked up, and she met a faceless person. Zhong Jiu told her that it was the Ghost King, and she laughed at the Ghost King's ugly appearance. No wonder at that time, Zhong Jiu's face was unhappy, it turned out that the ghost king was himself.
Linlang couldn't help laughing, but Yejun's face suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "You can still laugh, don't you know that you are terminally ill?" ”
It's Lost Soul Gu again, Linlang put away her smile and said lightly: "I know, but what can I do?" There is no cure for this Gu poison. If that's the case, why can't I go every day happily? It's just that he will become a little stupid in the end, and he won't die. ”
Yejun frowned, looking at her innocently in disbelief, his eyes overflowing with anger: "Who told you that you won't die?" ”
She raised her chin, clicked on the book in Yejun's hand, and said: "Isn't the "Divine Soul Record" remembered, the soul is lost, the user, the soul is lost, only the body is left, the fool is like a child, and there is no dead." ”
Yejun sneered, as if laughing at her innocence. He threw the book in his hand to Linlang and said coldly: "Take a closer look, is there a line of small words in the mezzanine of the page of Lost Soul Gu?" ”
Linlang looked at him, and broke the mezzanine of the book in disbelief, there was a small line of words in it, she squinted and looked at it for a long time, and finally recognized it, it read: Mortals who use it are all dead, and there is no way to live.
Linlang only felt that her body was instantly cold, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head. She trembled all over, her face was pale, and she slowed down for a long time before she asked in a dumb voice, "I'm going to die, right?" ”
Yejun looked at her miserable appearance, his heart softened, and he held her hand on the table. Her palms were cold, and her fingers kept shaking. He said softly, "If you stay here, you will definitely die." ”
Linlang looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears, and she said in confusion: "I don't understand what you mean." ”
"If you believe in me, I will save you." Yejun stroked the tears on her face and said very gently.
Zhong Jiu's words suddenly sounded in Linlang's mind: Yejun is the best at disguise, and always likes to show people with a gentle and kind face, don't believe him, be careful of his plan. If there is anything you don't understand, you can't think about it, you have to ask him first.
Linlang pulled out his hand in a panic and said uncomfortably: "Zhong Jiu said that he won't let me die, and I also believe that I won't die, so I won't trouble you." ”
Yejun's hands were empty, and it was as if something was missing in his heart. He twisted his fingers and sneered, "You actually believe him like that? It's stupid. ”
Linlang was very unhappy with Yejun's attitude, what qualifications did he have to judge her and Zhong Jiu here. She got up and picked up "Soul Record", not wanting to talk to him any more, and turned around to go back to the house.
Yejun asked behind her, "You shouldn't know who gave you the Soul Lost Gu, right?" ”
Linlang stopped, didn't turn around, and said coldly: "Naturally, it's Hongyan, only she wants me to die." ”
"Hahahaha." Yejun laughed out loud, as if he had heard some terrible joke. After he finished laughing, he said faintly: "I really want to cry out for Hong Aya, she is just hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, if she really wants her to kill you, she is reluctant." ”
Linlang glanced back at him, completely unaware of the meaning of his words. Seeing that she didn't believe it, Yejun continued: "The one who wants you to die the most is not Red Aya. If you don't believe it, when Zhong Wuqi comes back, you can directly ask him who gave you the Gu and see how he will react. ”
Linlang turned around, walked up to him, and looked at him condescendingly: "What do you mean?" Don't try to sow discord. ”
"Ning Ning, you have the flowers on the other side that I planted, and when the flowers bloom, you will remember everything about Bai Yingning. Before you were reincarnated, I planted this flower in the hope that one day it would evoke memories of your past life. So I will definitely not give you Gu, as for Hongyan, she was your best sister at that time, even if she hates you, she doesn't want you to die. ”
Linlang shook his head and said, "Zhong Jiu won't want me to die, he likes me, and he also likes Bai Yingning." So if it weren't for him, he would never harm me. ”
Yejun closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, he didn't expect her to believe Zhong Jiu like this, he said, "Even if he doesn't want you to die, but the Hades King doesn't think so." He has always obeyed the orders of the Hades, and only he can approach you and have the ability to play tricks on you. Don't be blinded by his rhetoric. ”
"Why does Hades want me dead?" Linlang asked.
"Because you are Bai Yingning, because you are a threat to him, you can't stay in this world. Ning Ning, this story is very long, I will explain it to you for a while, but you have to believe that I will not harm you. ”
"I won't believe you, don't say it again." Linlang made up her mind not to listen to him, and she walked into the house.
Yejun quickly got up from the stool, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of her, pressed his hands on her shoulders, and said, "Only I can save you, you think about it......"
He was about to say something, but suddenly his ears moved, and he seemed to hear something. He hurriedly shoved a bell into her hand and whispered in her ear: "If you want, ring the bell at any time to call me, I will definitely save you, you really have to believe me." ”
Before Linlang could fully react, Yejun disappeared in the blink of an eye. The courtyard was still the same as before, as if no one had ever come.
