Chapter 18: The Gate of the Void
Chapter 18: The Gate of the Void
Yuan Meng said that when she and Qingfeng stood alone and helplessly on the hill that was supposed to be Tiangangzhai but now had nothing, they stopped talking, and their delicate faces showed extremely disproportionate sadness. The grief was so heavy that the air in the room became much heavier.
I listened to Yuan Meng's narration silently, although I didn't say any comforting words in the middle, but I was actually very emotional. It turns out that their sisters, like me, are also poor people whose parents died young, and their grief has passed through thousands of years, but there is nothing to appeal to.
Two weak, originally pampered aristocratic ladies, from the Tang Dynasty, which was clothed in fine clothes and jade food, and responded to all calls, to the modern age of helplessness and nothing, such a huge contrast is really not something that ordinary people can bear.
I thought that my situation was very miserable, but relatively speaking, their fate seems to be even more ill-fated than mine.
I saw the crystal tears in the corners of Yuan Meng's eyes, but I didn't know how to persuade them, but I unconsciously sighed lowly and whispered, "How did you come here?" β
Yuan Meng choked up, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then smiled apologetically at me, the gloom of sadness had passed, she controlled her emotions well, coughed lightly, and said, "ID card, it was because of your father's ID card, my sister and I came here, originally to find some clues, but I found that the world has really changed." β
She was telling the truth, when the Yuan Meng sisters found out that they were really homeless, they were really sad for a while, but soon they recognized the reality and began to find a place to stay. And their father's ID card was really the only resource they had at that time. However, they have used the power of this document to the fullest.
People are like this, it is difficult to stimulate their potential until they are in trouble.
Yuan Meng and Qingfeng were unaccompanied, and their potential erupted even to their own surprises.
Of course, because the two of them are not ordinary people themselves, they have more means of making a living than ordinary people.
Sister Yuan Meng is not only good at piercing through walls, but also masters a forbidden technique called "God Control Technique", Ye Zitong's mastery is only the skin, she is the real master of the technique. And her sister Qingfeng is also very demonic. She has both incarnation and invisibility.
So, the two sisters used their skills to find my home easily.
I don't know if it's fate, the day they found my community happened to be the day my mother committed suicide by jumping off the building.
The reason why they left my parents who pretended to be me had multiple considerations, first of all, Ye Zitong killed my father, and as his senior sister, Yuan Meng felt that he had the obligation to take responsibility for him. The second is that they really have nowhere to go, and I, a rookie who only knows how to learn, have a very low risk factor of identifying them. Not only do they have a place to live here, but they can also slowly learn modern civilization, which is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone.
There is also a very obscure reason, and at the same time, it is also the key to Yuan Meng's determination to stay, let Qingfeng pretend to be my father, and play my stepmother, in fact, she was moved by the scene of me kneeling on the ground to support the corpse and crying for my mother. At that time, both of my parents had died, and I had the same background as them, and the two sisters were touched by the scene and felt pity for me.
It's just that I didn't know about it until much later.
So at that time, I heard Yuan Meng say that just because of an ID card, he found Henan from Shanxi, and then acted under my nose for several years without helping, I couldn't help but give her a heartfelt thumbs up and said, "It's me who is too stupid, but you are too good!" β
Yuan Meng smiled lightly and didn't speak, but her elegant temperament inadvertently revealed was difficult to express in a thousand words, just a smile, which made me feel ashamed.
I'm also drunk.
However, I don't think that Yuan Meng's coming to my bedside was just to recall the Tang Dynasty and the hard work of Tutu to come to modern times, there must be other more important reasons.
Sure enough, Yuan Meng smiled and suddenly asked, "How much do you know about the 'Xuankong Gate'?" β
"The Gate of the Void?" I asked, confused, "What's that?" β
"In your memory, is there any information about the Gate of the Void, or the Gate of Time and Space?" Yuan Meng looked at me solemnly, and a trace of nervous light actually shot out of his charming eyes, revealing a trace of coldness.
Of course I understand what she means, but I don't understand what she's nervous about. Although I fused all of Ye Zitong's memories into my own memories, there was no useful information about the so-called Xuankong Gate or the Time and Space Gate.
Although I really wanted to help her, I could only shake my head regretfully.
Yuan Meng couldn't hold back the disappointment, and it made me very sad to see it in his eyes.
I don't know why, I can't help but want to protect her, is it because of the fusion of Ye Zitong's memories? I do not know.
"Is there really nothing at all?" Yuan Meng sighed faintly. Even though she knew I wasn't lying, she was lucky and hoped for a miracle.
I get it. So I shook my head in shame as if I had done something wrong, feeling deeply guilty.
Yuan Meng's face was gloomy, and she stood up in frustration, I looked at her, my heart ached uncontrollably, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in my mind, and I hurriedly shouted, "Wait, although I don't know what the Xuankong Gate is, but in Ye Zitong's memory, there is a very strange memory picture about Ling Zun, I don't know if it will be useful." β
"What?" Yuan Meng turned around in surprise and rushed in front of me, "What is it, say it quickly?" β
"Don't worry, you let me think about it." I recalled, "It was a paragraph, but it had no beginning or tail, I don't know what it meant, you can listen and see if you can find some clues." β
Yuan Meng also felt that he was too impulsive just now and was a little embarrassed, but at this time, he couldn't care so much, so he just sat down in front of me and looked at me intently, seeing that I was a little embarrassed.
I coughed dryly and said, "Listen, I'll speak slowly, the passage is: 'Two daughters and one husband, the person is Xiao, the soul returns to his hometown, walks along the river, branches see the wall, and ends up in the mountain. β
"There is a boat in the mountains, there is a coffin on the ship, and there is a lot in the box!" Before I finished my words, Yuan Meng was already frowning, showing a sweet smile, and borrowed the words smoothly.
"There are no two sentences in the original text," I said, "and you know these codes?" My eyes lit up and I asked.
"Of course," Yuan Meng said with a smile, but her expression suddenly darkened, and she whispered in an inaudible tone, "Father really still has a back hand, it turns out that his old man has already seen all this. β
After speaking, she raised her head, looked at me carefully, and then showed a smile that made me unbelievable, "It turned out to be you, and it was destined to be a coincidence." β
"What?" I suddenly had a bad feeling, "Why is this me?" β
Yuan Meng smiled and opened her mouth to explain a thing or two, when suddenly an angry girl sounded in my ears, "Sister, I don't agree!" How could it be him? β
"Who speaks!" I looked up in shock, only to see that the air next to my bed suddenly became distorted like a mosaic in the air, and in less than a second, a turbulent little Lori appeared in front of me alive, staring at me with big eyes and rushing at my luck.
I'm a dog, what's going on, hallucinating? No, I can't! But how did this big beauty like Nozomi Sasaki come out! It can't be haunted in broad daylight, right?
"Holy, you came out of here?" I said.
"People are girls, and they talk so loudly that they want to scare people to death!" The realistic version of Nozomi Sasaki pursed her lips unhappily, "Also, what are you, yours, people have good names, it's really rude." β
"You ......" Isn't this the answer to the question, I was about to say, but this little girl has a faster mouth.
"What are you? You are a modern person, full of swearing, what 'I rely on' and 'I rely on', you really have no quality, you have to study hard to learn from our Tang people, you look at me and my sister, when did you say 'I rely on'! β
Cut! I laughed and pointed in front of me. Say, "Just now, it's not, you just finished speaking!" β
"I'm learning from you, do you understand the scene replay? It's terrible to be uneducated! The real-life version of Nozomi Sasaki said disdainfully, straightening his breasts.
"And listen, I'm from the Tang Dynasty, and your grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandmother's grandfather's ......, and I am a contemporary, so you have to call me grandmother in this offspring, don't hear it, don't be big or small all day long."
"Ha, what you said is so reasonable, according to what you say, I will take advantage of your grandmother!" I said angrily.
The real-life version of Nozomi Sasaki tilted his head and thought for a moment, and said seriously, "Yes! I'm not going to be angry, though, I'm very generous. β
"I'm telling you to talk nonsenseβ" I raised my fist in exasperation, pretending to fight.
The real-life version of Nozomi Sasaki screamed, swished behind Yuan Meng, and said squeamishly, "Sister, this big villain is going to bully me!" Let's not stay with him, shall we? β
"Qingfeng, this is what my father meant, he has already understood everything, and the arrangement cannot be changed." Yuan Meng's voice was intimate, but his expression was very serious.
"I don't want to, I don't want to anyway!" Yuan Qingfeng pouted and muttered.
Although I didn't understand too much, I heard some signs, what did they follow me, what was arranged? Still not willing to do so? I don't want to! How can I say that I am also a big man, and I am disliked in person, where does my self-esteem go? It can't be fed to the dogs!
"Don't worry," I sneered, "I don't want to have two burdens around me, since you and I don't owe each other, and we don't agree, then it's better to part ways as soon as possible." β
"What do you mean?" Yuan Qingfeng seemed to ask blankly.
"I'm busy with the eldest lady moving out as soon as possible, and I will sell this house as soon as possible." I really doubt that this noble lady of the Tang Dynasty has a normal IQ, "Also, I'll be out for the night tonight, I hope I won't be able to see you by the time I come back!" β
"How dare you bomb us away?" Yuan Qingfeng exclaimed.
I asked rhetorically, "Isn't that possible?" This is my house, and when I see you, I will have bad memories and emotions, so can't I ask you to leave? β
"You rude maniac, you will regret it, sister, let's go!" Saying that Yuan Qingfeng seemed to have suffered a great grievance, he pulled Yuan Meng out of anger.
"Little sister, alas, you!" Yuan Meng was helplessly dragged out of the room by his sister.
Bang, the door was closed like a cannon.
I was the only one in the room, and I let out a long sigh of relief and smiled wryly. This strange Lori, she looks really good, is her IQ? Don't mention it.
After a moment's pause, I suddenly felt that I had just gone too far, as if I had spoken too much!
But that little girl is too hypocritical, I am most annoyed by such a girl in my life, if it weren't for her beauty, I guess I would have to scold. I still like gentle and virtuous girls, such as Yuan Meng. Speaking of Yuan Meng, the personalities of these two sisters are also too different.
I shook my head, got off the bed, stretched my body, felt the bones click, an invisible force in the body skewered, everywhere I went, both the joints and the muscles felt numb and crispy and itchy, so I hated to run out immediately, a five-kilometer cross-country, and then beat a heavy sandbag, out of a stinky sweat to feel comfortable.
I know that the reason why I feel this way is completely because the power magnetic field of the old corpse Ye Zitong has been completely digested by me, and my body has been changed, this is just the beginning, it will not be long before my physical body will be completely changed, and I will inherit all the abilities of Ye Zitong at that time.
And I'm going to be a weirdo with superpowers.
I don't know if it's a good or bad ending, but at least I can use my superpowers to bring justice to the weak.
Since I might as well be selfish when it comes to justice, I might as well ask for my friend back first, someone has to be responsible for Li Ming's death, and since the main culprit Ye Zitong has been headed, then the accomplice Xia Jiuyou can't escape the punishment of justice.
My path to superpower, I might as well start with him!
