I wanted Ye Zhiqiu to take us to the ancient tomb immediately, but I was stopped by the palace lord, and he said that since Tu Shuang caught Ye Zhiqiu in the ancient tomb, it means that not only us, but also Wen Ru and Ye Zhiqiu's every move in Guanzhong has long been under Tu Shuang's control.

Tu Shuang invited to meet three days later, this time is still a little restless, anyway, the ancient tomb can't fly, you can see it sooner or later, in case Tu Shuang catches the handle again, it will be difficult to deal with it.

"So what do we do next?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.

"You're wrong again, it's not what we should do, it's what you should do." I smiled and stroked her head.

"Gu Chaoge, let me make it clear to you, this time, you don't want to leave me alone." Ye Zhiqiu opened my hand and tilted his head stubbornly.

Ye Zhiqiu seemed to be still angry with me, and walked to the depths of the garden alone after speaking, Xue Xinrou wanted to chase after me and was stopped by me, I asked them to rest first, I haven't seen Ye Zhiqiu for a long time, the last time I was separated from her, I guess it hurt her if I spoke too much.

After the others left, I walked to the garden, Ye Zhiqiu sat alone on the stone bench by the stream, she had a quiet beauty under the moonlight, the night breeze blew her long hair, she gently went to the back of her ears, it turned out that when Ye Zhiqiu was quiet, it was also quite likable.

I sat next to her, Ye Zhiqiu supported his hand on the stone bench, and suddenly turned his head to look at me seriously: "Ask you something." ”

"Ask." I smiled, and the way she looked reminded me of her when I was a child, always following behind me and relying on me at all times.

"If, if one day ......" Ye Zhiqiu wanted to speak and stopped, pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time. I'm in danger, and you hold me and Gong Jue at the same time, who will you save? ”

……

"No, never, I won't let you risk your life no matter what." I shook my head firmly.

"I said what if, I didn't say it seriously, what if there was such a day?" Although what Ye Zhiqiu said in his mouth didn't matter, he looked more serious.

"Do you want to make a good order?" I gave her a blank look.

"Gu Chaoge, I'm asking you very seriously now." Ye Zhiqiu's face sank.

"It has nothing to do with admitting it seriously or not, you don't want to think about it, I'd rather scold you than let you follow me, it's just clear, what I'm doing now is very dangerous, and I don't want you to get involved, so your assumption is not valid." I'm used to silently her head, like coaxing a little child.

"Why, I know what you're doing is not simple, but why can't I participate." Ye Zhiqiu opened my hand again and pouted. "Besides, what you mean is wrong, is it possible that other people should accompany you to the death, why can't I?"

"If I could, I'd rather not know anything, you think I want to be involved, from the very beginning of tracking down the person who killed my father, by now, things have completely changed, I don't even know who I am."

I sighed heavily, was silent for a moment, looking at the stream under the moonlight a little fascinated, maybe in front of Ye Zhiqiu, I can become more relaxed, it has always been like this, I will tell her anything, she is the same as the general, can give me an inexplicable peace of mind.

There is something I haven't admitted in front of Gongjue and Tian Ji, not because I want to hide it from them, but because I don't want to affect them.

I'm afraid!

As I tracked down the Moon Palace Kowloon Boat until now, the more things I came into contact with, the more scared I felt.

In the Jieshi Golden Palace, the moment I put on the gold silk mask, I felt like a different person, a person who made me feel completely strange, and at that moment I had nothing in my heart except killing.

But the most troublesome thing is that I don't hate this feeling at all, but I enjoy it, just like those evils have always been innate, but they are hidden in the heart, and when they put on the mask, all the truth is awakened.

I can't remember how he killed Akai Yoshitaka, but the way he was nailed to the rock in the end, I still remember it, like a lingering nightmare, I can't believe it was me who killed him, and Xie Tianhui told me that it was the real me.

This is something I have always been reluctant to believe and admit, and I explain it in various ways.

I grew up.

I have a whole memory, and there are bits and pieces of the past in those memories.

Many people can prove that I am not that person, including Ye Zhiqiu beside me.

……

Wait, I just use these reasons to convince others, in fact, what I want to convince the most is myself, because the moment I take off the mask, I actually feel lost and empty, and I think that wearing a mask is a disguise, and I am just the opposite, wearing a mask I become real, and I seem to be a disguise after taking it off.

After coming out of the Jieshi Golden Palace, how many times did I toss and turn at night, turning everything over and over again, thinking about everything, the man wearing the golden silk mask was Lu Qiao's respected lord, he left after guarding the Jieshi Golden Palace, and traced the whereabouts of the Vientiane Divine Palace.

He is a person who has been to the Vientiane Divine Palace, and it is precisely because he has seen the Kyushu Dragon Vein Diagram in the Vientiane Divine Palace, so like us, he guessed the reason why the Nine Dragon Boat of the Moon Palace kept appearing, and he even speculated the law of the movement of the Nine Dragon Boat of the Moon Palace, so that he could understand the ambush of the Nine Dragon Boat of the Moon Palace in Wang Gongchang.

Forty years ago, he was the one who sent out the invitation letter and brought eleven people into the Vientiane Shrine.

Then the construction corps found the ruins of the Vientiane Shrine in Hongbai Mountain, and this man wearing a golden silk mask actually became the No. 1 leader of the 117th Bureau, he took away all the important cultural relics in the Vientiane Shrine, now think about it carefully, in fact, it is not taken away, but destroyed, just like guarding the Jieshi Golden Palace, this person is covering up all the secrets of the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace and the Twelve Ancestral Gods.

Twenty years ago, Ling Xiao Ge saw this person again in the Western Regions, thinking that he could unlock the secret of the Ling family's thousand-year-old inheritance, but in the end, in the stone room, all the people who discovered the secret were shot dead, and when Ling Xiao Ge saw me in the ward, he was so frightened and afraid, because he saw a face that had killed others.

From the time I first came into contact with the Moon Palace Kowloon Fang, I originally wanted to track down my father's murderer, but now I realize that what I have been chasing is actually the footprints of this person.

And I look exactly like this guy!

"Have you ever thought that the person we've been tracking down is actually me?" I took a deep breath and said the last thing I wanted to admit.

"Impossible." Ye Zhiqiu shook his head. "You were still a child when you came to the Sifang pawnshop, I grew up with you, how could you be him."

"I'm glad I can still convince myself with this reason now." I smiled weakly. "Then can you explain another thing for me?"

"What's the matter?"

I rubbed my cheeks with my hands tiredly, sighed heavily, looked at the slowly flowing stream in front of me, and after a moment of silence, I muttered to Ye Zhiqiu, I met Zhuo Ming Fengpingshui, and I didn't even have any friendship, but in the Vientiane Shrine, he didn't care to save me.

In Liaodong, I met Xie Tianhui again, and it was also a one-sided friend, but in the Jieshi Golden Palace, in order to save me, he did not hesitate to risk his life, if it was not for Xie Tianhui, I would have died in the Jieshi Golden Palace.

Zhuo Mingfeng once went to the Jieshi Golden Palace, he was one of the thousands of Lei Yingwei households back then, and Xie Tianhui also knew everything about the Jieshi Golden Palace, when he tortured and killed the Dongying people, he put on the flying fish suit on the stone platform, the size was just the same, and it should have been his clothes.

Xie Tianhui is also a person who has been to the Jieshi Golden Palace, he can bring a token wrench, and his identity is the same as Zhuo Mingfeng, and he should also be another thousand households.

Why do they know the secret of the Jieshi Golden Palace, the only explanation, their ancestors have been there, everything in the Jieshi Golden Palace is passed down by their ancestors, this reason can explain everything, at least it can keep me from thinking nonsense, but until I saw Yin Die, this explanation was completely overturned.

Xie Zheng and Xie Rui's clerical notes are the same, but they are not the only ones with the same notes, Xie Tianhui's notes are also the same as them, I remember when I was in the Jieshi Golden Palace, I questioned the documents that Xie Tianhui showed me.

At that time he told me who could prove that the documents from hundreds of years ago did not come from him.

Xie Tianhui doesn't lie, in fact, he has always told the truth, but I didn't take it seriously.

"Xie Zheng is Xie Rui and Xie Tianhui who saved me, these three people are actually the same person, he is the same as Zhuo Mingfeng, he is the same as Lei Yingwei's thousand households back then, these two people have lived for hundreds of years." I turned my head to look at Ye Zhiqiu and asked solemnly. "Can you tell me why they are desperate to save me? All it takes is a reason, can you find it? ”

Ye Zhiqiu was speechless, her expression was a little flustered, I knew that she was trying to find a reason to convince me, but looking at her appearance, she couldn't find a reason to explain all this.

"The only one who can make them loyal is the man with the gold silk mask." I sighed feebly. "Whether it's Xie Tianhui or Zhuo Mingfeng, they know better than me who they are saving......

"Even if I can't find a suitable reason, then tell me, if you are a monster who has lived for hundreds of years, why would you grow up with me?" Ye Zhiqiu took my hand and asked.

"That's why I'm going to keep tracking, I have to uncover all the secrets, nothing else, I just want to know, who I really am, it's far more weird and dangerous than I expected." I patted Ye Zhiqiu's hand and said in relief. "That's why I don't want you to be involved."

"Since all this is related to you, I can't stand by and watch." Ye Zhiqiu said anxiously.

"Only if you are safe, I can go all out to track it down, not to mention that you really want to help me, and now there is another thing for you to do." I smiled faintly at Ye Zhiqiu.

"What's the matter?"

"The appearance of the Twin Cities of the Demon Kingdom should be related to the Twelve Ancestral Gods, I have to find the location of the temple first, so you must return to Jiangxi and continue to investigate the exact location of the Twin Cities of the Demon Kingdom, and after we finish dealing with the temple, we will go to Jiangxi to meet you."

"It's a deal." Ye Zhiqiu thought about it and stretched out his little thumb helplessly.

I hooked up with her and suddenly smiled: "Save you." ”

"Huh?" Ye Zhiqiu didn't react.

"If you and Gong Jue are in danger, I can only save one person, and I will save you." My voice is firm.

"That's pretty much it." Ye Zhiqiu curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, but soon he heard it seriously. "Why don't you save the palace lord?"

"I promised the shopkeeper that I would protect you well in this life, no matter when, I will not let you have anything to do." I replied with a faint smile and calmly. "Gong Jue is a friend, I promised him life and death, you know, what I promised, I will definitely do it!"
