Chapter Ninety-Five: The Price
"But once the soul crosses the bridge, there is no going back. The corner of the lips of the child in black and white dress showed a wicked smile, like a spider waiting for a moth to touch a spider's web. Jun Luo suddenly came to her senses, her slightly reddened eyes regained their clarity, she let go of her hand, took two steps back, and bent down to pick up the box. The child seemed to be upset with her actions and exclaimed, "Hey, don't you really want to see him?"
The woman in red shrank her fingers, and then grabbed the box firmly: "Yes, but not now." She straightened up and met those eyes: "I want to go back to the world now and bring Mingrui Yanxia back, can you tell me how to go back?"
Although it was a consultative tone, the child clearly saw the threat in her eyes.
It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, it's just that I don't want the fish to die.
"What...... Even if you become a human being, it's still the same annoying......" The child muttered, looking displeased, and when he saw Jun Luo looking inquiringly, he stiffened his neck and said, "You can go back, but that road is not under my control, I can only send you over." The gatekeeper there is not as good-natured as I am, and you have to pay a price if you want to get past him. ”
Inexplicably hearing the concern from the child's words, the woman in red was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Thank you, I will deal with it." ”
"It's not that you can cope with it...... or not" The tone suddenly rose, but touching the gentle smile, the child suddenly stopped, he gritted his teeth, and looked hateful: "That's it, you can go if you like, don't come again!"
For some reason, Jun Luo tightly guarded the box with one hand, and wanted to reach out and touch the little face that pretended to be indifferent but full of reluctance, but as soon as her hand was stretched out, the wind and sand in front of her eyes, and her body was light, and she arrived in a dark and cold place-"It's rare to have a guest." ”
An old voice came from not far away, and a light suddenly lit up in the darkness, and then the flames climbed up, illuminating a huge door in front of them. The gate was so high that you couldn't see the top at all, and it was carved with the evil spirits of hell on it, and it came to life. Jun Luo was shocked and consciously took a step back, and the old man hidden in the darkness by the door knocked his pipe, glanced at her, and said lightly: "It's you, Ling Qianqiu." ”
The name was familiar and unfamiliar, the woman was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the immortal chief." The disciple strayed into the Yellow Spring, and now he wants to return to the world, I wonder if the immortal chief can make it convenient for the disciple to go back?"
The old man took a puff of his cigarette, and the thin smoke swirled around him, and he was eaten by the evil spirits on the door. He patted the stone beside him and said, "Sit down and let me see you." ”
"It's good for the disciple to stand. Jun Luo said and stood still in front of him. The old man laughed strangely, raised his head, and the chain around his neck made a slight sound, seeing the surprise in the eyes of the woman in red, the old man laughed at himself: "I have been locked up here for tens of thousands of years, and I only open and close the ghost door every day, except for black and white impermanence, I have only seen that child." By the way, you've probably met him, right? He misses you so much, he just doesn't say it. ”
Jun Luo frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
"You girl, you have a lot of thoughts, it seems that you have experienced a lot in this life. You are different from mortals, you and I should never have seen each other, but now that we do, do you know what it represents?" the old man sighed softly: "There is no real destiny in this world. ”
"That's what the fairy chief said. Jun Luo said lightly: "But the disciple is ignorant, he just wants to know how to go back." ”
The old man laughed, as if he didn't feel offended by Junluo, he tapped the lamp with his pipe, and a light hole slowly opened in front of the two: "Go in." ”
"Is it the world when you come out again?"
"If you can get out, yes. ”
"Thank you, Immortal Chief. Jun Luo arched his hand and stepped into the aperture without any hesitation. When she raised her feet, the whistle on her waist suddenly let out a sharp roar, Jun Luo frowned slightly, looked at the aperture vigilantly, and was about to speak, but someone pushed her behind her back - "You!"
"I've never been a good person, Bai Zhen. Seeing the aperture disappear, the old man sighed and said softly: "You have been let down by many people, and now it is your turn to live up to them, Nuwa is desperately guarding the so-called cycle of cause and effect, destiny is destined, but she never thought that this is a dead end." If everyone has to pay off their debts, then the new life is just to perpetuate the past. To be alive, or to look forward......"
"If they are willing, how can they owe?"
Yongzhou. Inn.
The small window is half-hidden, from time to time there are a few birdsongs, the green bamboo grows luxuriantly, through the window you can see a piece of greenery, the environment of this inn is quiet and pleasant, only this side of the scenery makes people can't take their eyes off and are willing to sink. Suddenly, one hand violently closed the window, cutting everything off: "Young master, what should we do?"
Xia Chong was looking at the bamboo tea tray on the table, and when he heard Fang Yingtian's call, he seemed to be startled, his eyes moved, and he said in a low voice: "That demon king's strength has been greatly reduced, and he was injured by his father again, we just need to find him and get rid of him." ”
"But the young master, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even the head of the family can't win, can we?" Fang Yingtian couldn't help but say. Xia Chong glanced at him, and he was immediately silent, but his expression was still full of worry. Yes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the last time I heard Xia Han talk about the experience of the Lishan Lock Demon Tower vs. the Demon King, in fact, Xia Chong didn't dare to guarantee whether he could do it. But if the demon king doesn't die, the Xia family can't feel at ease.
He advised his father not to use this method to maintain his cultivation, but his father didn't listen, and he couldn't do anything. All Xia Chong can do is to stand in the same boat with his father and maintain the Xia family and his father.
So it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, it has to work.
"By the way, young master, I heard that Yu Tianhe and Shuiyue Pavilion were in contact, and the people are already in Yongzhou. Fang Yingtian suddenly thought of something, and said with some concern: "He must have negotiated with Shuiyue Pavilion, and the purpose should be the same as mine, which is to find the Demon King." ”
"Don't be afraid. The Yu family is returning to their hearts, and the reorganization of the Water Moon Pavilion is imminent, and it is also appropriate for the two to join forces. Yu Tian and the mean posture will not be stupid enough to resist the demon king, he should just come to listen to the news, once the location is determined, it will be announced in the fairy gate. And the helper he is most likely to find, not surprisingly, should be Jun Luo. ”
"Last time in the Tanzhou incident, although she cleared the charges, there are still some things that don't make sense. Will she be willing to come forward at this time? I don't think the Sword Lord is such a reckless person. Also, the subordinates have never understood why we don't continue to support the Water Moon Pavilion, and it is a pity that the power that has been in Jingchu for many years has been cut off like this. ”
When Fang Yingtian said this, Xia Chong sneered: "Why? There are always some ants, who can only eat people and leave broken bones and flesh, but they still shout about the so-called dignity of the heart. The so-called self-esteem of congratulations can be preserved by the snow of life and death, and I don't have the heart to take care of the emotions of an ant. Besides, there are less than 100 people left in the Water Moon Pavilion now, what kind of climate can it be? Yu Tianhe approached him, and I am afraid that he will also propose to accept it, and it is still a question whether the two parties can negotiate well. We just need to do ours. ”
"The young master is wise. Then how do we find the location of this demon king?"
The man in Tsing Yi spread out his palm, his eyes fell on the bloodstained bamboo leaf, and he smiled: "Use it." ”
Yee Red Court.
The door was closed by Ye Panruo, and Sanbai's heart trembled. The man in a dark green robe turned his head, looked at her face with a faint flush, and smiled lightly: "Afraid?"
This question sounded concerned and ambiguous, and Sanbai's face turned red on the ground, and she didn't know who gave her courage, so she nodded lightly.
Ye Panruo smiled. He sat down at the table, looked at the girl standing in front of him at a loss, and poured a cup of tea unhurriedly: "You don't know how to dance, I can see it." ”
"Ahem. Three hundred coughed twice and did not speak. The man pushed a cup of tea in front of her, and smiled: "Mother Luo's five hundred taels of silver are only sold for me to watch a night of dancing, I don't want to be difficult for you, and I don't want to be difficult for myself, sit down, let's chat." The day I saw you, you were ...... Is that all?"
The girl lowered her eyes slightly, hesitated for a moment and did not sit down, but just let out a low 'um'. Ye Panruo could see that she was a little guarded, and she didn't say anything, and continued to ask: "I saw that you had some scars on your wrists and ankles that day, but you were abducted to Yongzhou?"
Sanbai was taken aback, looked at Ye Panruo, and was a little surprised: "What's the matter with Childe...... How can you see it? Just by the scars?"
"It's still in the brain. The man smiled, and when he saw her lower his head again, he felt a little lost in his heart: "You don't have to be so afraid of me, I won't do anything to you." I just feel like you're an old friend. ”
Sanbai tugged at the corners of his lips: "Really, where is the old man of Childe?"
"She's dead. Ye Panruo lowered his eyes, and his voice was a little muffled: "Die for me." ”
The wordless sadness swept over at once, and Sanbai's heart was touched fiercely, and then she found out that something was wrong-such empathy, he could actually control people's emotions? The inexplicable fear made her take a step back, and when she lowered her head, she looked into his eyes, and those eyes had a faint sadness, like a person who was in love, and she could see her sweetheart after many years of separation...... Three hundred closed his eyes, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, forcing himself not to be tempted by him: "Childe mourns." Although he can't stay with each other for a long time, as long as the son has been thinking about that girl in his heart, he will always be by his side even if he is separated by the yellow springs in the world. ”
"You speak clearly, not like a girl in the country. Ye Panruo smiled.
"Childe praised it, Ming Candle's father is a squire, and he has only known a few words since he was a child. Three hundred lowered his eyebrows. Ye Panruo seemed to notice something, and suddenly leaned forward, three hundred was about to retreat, only to feel that he had hit a wall, and he couldn't retreat any further, and the man propped up the table, and gently pinched her chin with one hand, forcing her to raise her head: "Why don't you dare to look at me all the time?"
His movements were very soft, and his voice was very soft, like a whisper in his lover's ear: "Ming Candle, did you feel sorry for me just now?"
