Chapter 136: The Signs of the Seven Sounds
In the summer and autumn, Ouyang Xiaoleng and Heye woke up at Heyin's house almost at the same time, watching his son finally open his eyes from his slumber, Heyin's wife couldn't help but burst into tears, and suddenly held her son in her arms, and Heyin silently wrapped both of them into her broad arms, and Heye, who had just been frightened in the soul away from the world, cried loudly when she saw her father and mother.
Looking at the scene of the family of three reuniting in front of her, Xia Qiu's eyes were also moist, and her and Ouyang Xiaoleng's hands were still tightly held together, continuing to give each other warmth and strength, and being able to use the Demon Alliance again in the soul away from the world made the hearts of the two closer.
For some reason, she always had a hunch, as if a voice in her heart was telling her that the reason why she came to Qingyang more than a hundred years ago was to save Hingo, and if she succeeded, then the passage connecting her world should have reappeared.
Although she didn't want to ruin the warm gathering of the Heyin family, she also had to sit up from the bed and said to them: "Now I will tell you the truth about the ghost hidden that I know, and I hope you are mentally prepared to listen to me!" ”
Heyin let go of the hands holding his wife and children, came to her, nodded solemnly and said, "Please speak!" ”
"The real murderer who caused the ghost is the undead spirit of the great monster ape Red Demon who led you to build the soil of the earth, he fell into the demon path due to his greed for power through the art of devouring the sky, and after his death, he still can't suppress the desire to continue to cultivate this art by absorbing the life force of children of the same clan."
Xia Qiu was determined to tell the truth, she knew that if the Demon Spirit Clan knew the truth about the Demon Hide, it would cause great trauma to their hearts, who would have thought that the hero who had been their hope and faith would become a demon who killed their children.
Sure enough, the Heyin couple had an extremely complicated look on their faces after hearing this, they were skeptical and full of fear at the same time, especially Heyin, who had always been in his mind that the Ape Red Demon was like a god that made him look up to the existence. Before Hinga was born, he and his wife had several children, but they were all killed by Oni Yin one after another, and at this moment, disappointment and resentment collided fiercely in his heart, so that he couldn't even speak.
"That'...... Will he hurt the hinge again? Heyin's wife also came over and asked tremblingly, which was her main concern.
"I think I'll come here from the future world to help the hinge change its original fate, if everything is as I think, then the only thing that can prove that the hinge is safe is that the passage in the pool connecting the world we are in should have reappeared!" Xia Qiu responded.
Listening to her words, Ouyang Xiaoliang suddenly asked, "Do you feel this way too?" ”
At that time, after he came to this world in search of Xia Qiu, the passage also disappeared, and just now he had the same premonition as her, as if it was some kind of call from their world, urging him to go back.
Although Hingye didn't seem to understand what they had just said about the Ape Red Demon and the Ghost Hide, he heard that his sister Xia Qiu was about to leave the place where she came before, and he suddenly lost control, rushed to her and hugged her waist and shouted, "I don't want Sister Xia Qiu to go!" ”
Xia Qiu was reluctant to say goodbye to him, but she didn't belong to this world, and on the other side, there were her own family and companions waiting for her and Ouyang Xiaoleng. No matter how nostalgic they were, they had to get out of here, but she still wanted to hold on to Hingha tightly, even if only for a while. In the time spent with each other day and night, she was deeply moved by the simplicity and kindness of Hingye, this farewell, if we meet again, it will be in the world more than a hundred years later, his face must have changed a long time ago, and I don't even know if he can still deny an encounter with himself.
"Hinge, you can't do this, Xia and Autumn don't belong here." Heyin persuaded his son behind him.
Hingye cried even more fiercely when he heard it, almost out of breath, Xia Qiu touched his little head and comforted him and said, "Don't be sad, we will definitely meet again!" ”
Hingye choked and begged her: "You swear! ”
Xia Qiu held back tears and squeezed out a smile in response: "Well, I swear!" Do you remember what your sister taught you how to pull the hook these days? ”
Listening to her words, Hingye finally stopped crying, raised his head to wipe away the tears that blurred his vision, and then seriously stretched out his little finger to her, Xia Qiu also stretched out his little finger and hooked it tightly with him.
"Stamp!"
After the two finished speaking in unison, they pressed each other's thumbs again, and got Xia Qiu's promise, and Hingye finally broke into laughter.
The Heyin family sent Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng to the edge of the pool, and along the way, Heye still held Xia Qiu's hand tightly and refused to relax. Although he had accepted the matter of being separated from her, he still had some expectations in his heart, if that passage did not appear, then Sister Xia Qiu would be able to stay by his side forever.
It's a pity that when I walked to the edge of the pool and looked down, the pool that should have been shallow became unfathomable again, which meant that the time for real separation had arrived.
"Thank you for saving the hinge, if my heyin is still alive in your time, my wife and son will definitely repay you for this kindness!"
After Heyin finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng with his wife, and their gratitude to these two teenagers was like a surging river, endlessly.
Xia Qiu smiled at Heyin and said, "Maybe you can't believe that the person who guided me to save Hinge is you!" This must be a secret arrangement! ”
She looked deeply at the hinge again, and then walked into the pool hand in hand with Ouyang Xiaoleng. As when they came, the cold, biting currents of water quickly changed direction with time, sending them back to their original world.
They didn't know exactly how much time had passed, but when they came out of the pool, the passage was completely gone, and in its place was a stone roulette wheel that appeared in the water, which was the real gate.
The hands on the roulette wheel were turned clockwise to 210 degrees, and the opening of the Gate of Signs caused the underground mechanism to vibrate even more strongly, and it was now only two steps away from fully activating the Seven Astrolabe.
After solving the Gate of Signs, the first thing Xia Qiu did was to take a look at the surrounding situation at this time, because a hundred years ago, the Heyin family still lived on this floor, but the result was disappointing to them.
She and Ouyang Xiaoleng found that there was no change here as when they left, the connected houses were still empty, and in the house where the Heyin family originally lived, a familiar figure came into her eyes, that is, Nine Eyes. Now it is nearly two meters in diameter, I don't know when it began to enter the old house of the Heyin family, and what is even more bizarre is that it can still recognize who she is after seeing Xia Qiu.
It descended from the big cobwebs on the ceiling and said to Xia Qiu: "It's been a long time, but I didn't expect you to change at all!" Hinge always mentions you to me, he's now moved to Downtown, along with his parents and his wife and children! ”
The nine eyes that spoke had already stunned Xia Qiu, and when she heard that Hingye already had a wife and children, she was even more surprised and happy, and she cried with joy for a while. Hinge had survived and was doing well, and she wanted to run right away to see what had become of the boy who had been pestering her all day, but she was afraid that her sudden appearance would scare him.
"Have there been any recent wars in this city?" Ouyang Xiaoleng on the side asked Nine Eyes, this is the question he is most concerned about at the moment.
"Nope! However, I heard from Hinge and my sons and daughters that the Red-Eared Demon had betrayed the royal city in order to save his own son, and had taken possession of the royal palace with some of his men. Nine Eyes answered his question and stared at him for a moment, then asked, "I seem to have seen you in a dream?" In that dream you saved Hinge, although Hingha later told me that it was not a dream, but something called a soul out of the world. ”
Ouyang Xiaoleng nodded in response: "I have indeed seen it!" Did the Demon Horse Cavalry Regiment come to Qingyang? ”
"What's that? Haven't heard of it! Nine-Eyes tightened the spider silk and slowly hoisted himself back to the ceiling and said, "I'm going to go back to sleep, you go and meet the hinge, he will be very happy to see you, especially you in Xia Qiu!" ”
Saying goodbye to the Nine Eyes, Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng prepared to go back to the stronghold on the third floor first, to see if their companions had successfully completed their tasks and returned, and as soon as they walked to the avenue in the center of the city, they met Qianqi, Mochizuki and Lingyu there.
Ouyang Xiaoleng urgently asked how long it had been since they had been separated, and according to their answers, although Xia Qiu had stayed in the world more than a hundred years ago for many days, it was only a few hours for this world.
He asked about the situation of the Thousand Horse Demon Horse Cavalry Regiment, but was told that the Demon Horse Cavalry Regiment was still stationed in Yongchuan, Wangcheng, and the life-and-death battle between them and the Demon Spirit Clan was indeed successfully avoided due to the rewriting of history. The only regret for them was that the vicious battle between Ouyang Hongye's intelligence team and the Fire City convoy still happened, and Chang Feng and the dog god were still immersed in the grief of losing the mole Xiao Qi.
When they walked back to the stronghold on the third floor together, Heyin was already waiting there, and he had completed his mission, but after history was rewritten, the reason why he helped them was no longer to abandon the darkness and turn to the light after reflecting on the truth of the war, but to repay Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng for saving his son Heye.
Now it was finally time to meet Heye again, only Heyin led her and Ouyang Xiaoleng there, while the others were still waiting in place.
The lower city of Qingyang was much more prosperous than what they had seen before in summer and autumn, and the buildings next to the large medicinal herb fields were no longer sporadic but dense. Heyin tells Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng that after the betrayal of the red-eared demon spirit, Hingye has been chosen as the new leader of the demon spirit clan.
A hundred years ago, they severely injured the ape red devil and rescued not only Hingha, but also two other children who were dying at the time, one of whom was a younger demon girl who later became his wife. The two of them had already given birth to many children and had built a large house in the lower city to live with the couple.
