Chapter 62: Kneel First
I almost subconsciously picked up the child and jumped out of bed, opened the door, and saw Bai Yiqing said with a panicked face: "She is gone, I just felt a mysterious force guiding me, and I felt that something was wrong, so I got up and went to see her, and it is estimated that I have not left far." ”
"You mean, she walked out of the house on her own, manipulated by a mysterious force?"
Bai Yiqing's face turned pale: "I'm only afraid that there will be more than one luck." ”
"So what now? Is there a way to find the girl's whereabouts quickly? ”
"I might try, but I'm not good at it, and I don't know if I can track it down." With that, he recited the incantation, and suddenly a paper crane appeared, which hovered in mid-air for a while and flew out of the house.
I was overjoyed: "Xiaobai, I didn't expect you to learn well." ”
"I'll chase it alone, you take the little ancestor at home, if there is news, I will come back to tell you."
Seeing that it was half past two in the middle of the night, I looked at Ah Fan, who was sleeping heavily in my arms, and nodded: "Okay, if you encounter any danger, don't fight hard." ”
He nodded at me and chased after the crane.
I slept until dawn, and the little one woke up at some point, looking at me with big round eyes.
I leaned forward and kissed the child: "Little Afan, good morning." ”
The child kicked on the little fat legs, babbling and not knowing what he was talking about, but looking at his energetic appearance.
"Mommy gets up and goes to make breakfast, but let's feed you first."
When the child has eaten enough, put him on the bed, and he will not be noisy. This child sometimes feels very different from ordinary children, as if he can sense things that ordinary people can't perceive.
And since he was born, he has rarely cried, if it weren't for his innate ability, I don't know what it would be?
"Baby, baby, mom will come and hold you later."
Changed his clothes and walked out of the room, Bai Yiqing has not come back since last night, and he doesn't know what happened to him.
Nervously make breakfast. I went back to the room and hugged Xiao Afan out, only to see Bai Yiqing hurriedly walking in from the outside.
"How's it going?" I hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Bai Yiqing looked solemn and shook his head: "I haven't found it, and according to what I know, another girl disappeared last night, and a total of thirteen girls were missing, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
"Xiaobai, why are you ...... So concerned about this? ”
Bai Yiqing looked at me suddenly, and was silent for a while before saying, "Ten years ago, I was like now. You can sense the summoning of that powerful energy. Ten years ago, I lost consciousness, and when I came, I was already in the hospital, and later I learned that the residents of that neighborhood had been burned to death by a strange fire. ”
"You ......" I was dumbfounded for a long time before I said, "So you think this matter has something to do with you?" ”
Bai Yiqing shook his head in annoyance: "I don't know either." ”
It occurred to me that three years ago.
"Xiaobai, do you remember? After participating in the performance of the Provincial Cultural Festival, while changing clothes in the locker room, you pick up a small bronze box. There is a huge amount of energy hidden in that box, and no one has opened it yet, but when you hold the box, I know that the energy inside is slowly awakening. ”
Bai Yiqing sat on the sofa with a butt: "Then I'...... Exactly? ”
"I don't know, but I think there's a connection between that. And I later discovered that the runes of Gu Xi's evil spell were similar to the ancient words on the box. ”
Chu Nantang said. All of this is not occasional, but there is a necessary connection.
"Don't think about it so much, let's have breakfast." I patted him on the shoulder: "I'll think about it when I'm full." ”
Bai Yiqing looked at me with a complicated expression: "I don't know why, I'm starting to be a little scared, afraid of getting an answer I don't want to see." ”
"Xiaobai, many things in this world may be contrary to your own ideas, but I am afraid that it is useless, and when it comes, I can only grit my teeth and face it. Because if you don't face it, maybe it will never pass. ”
Bai Yiqing smiled: "I found that you seem to have changed a lot." ”
"Got a little bit of it, lost a little of it, got a little stronger...... "The main thing is that he's not with me now, so I have to take care of myself for him.
After breakfast, Xiaobai went to school, and I was alone at home with Xiao Afan, but my mind kept thinking about everything that had happened over the years.
From the time Shen Qiushui took the plate of Fuxi to the disappearance of thirteen girls now, the time in this is very coincidental.
There is also a secret room leading to the void space, where the torture instruments hanging on the wall are exactly thirteen when you think about it now.
On the high altar, there is a powerful condensation of energy, perhaps they rely on this to obtain spiritual power to do something that ordinary people can't do.
Like what...... Live forever.
I slammed into my feet from the couch and startled the little guy with a big move. He glanced back at the child and carried him back to his room.
found the phone and called Bai Yiqing, but fortunately he was not in class at this time.
"Xiaobai, let me ask you a question."
"Huh? What's the problem? ”
"What if you could go back in time and change everything that was in the past?"
Bai Yiqing thought for a while and said: "If you go back to the past, change the predetermined situation, and move the whole body, the world will be reshuffled and produce a butterfly effect." ”
"Will we disappear?"
"It's not clear, anyway, the metropolis will change, some will disappear in the future, and some will have a completely different fate. What does this do, you ask? ”
I secretly sighed: "Xiaobai, I don't have a chance to explain it to you now, but there is something I have to confirm." You come back early after class. I'm waiting for you at home. ”
Before he could ask any more questions, I looked back at the child who was staring at me curiously.
stepped forward and kissed his eyebrows: "Baby, mom has to go out, but she will definitely come back, you have to wait for mom to come back at home." ”
The little guy seemed to know that I was going to leave him behind, and suddenly he burst into tears.
Stretching out my little hand for me to hold him, I couldn't bear to look at the child, caressing his chest, he gradually quieted down, just his eyes wide. It seems like I'm afraid I'll just disappear.
I sighed lightly and tapped his little nose: "Baby, go to sleep......"
Not long after the child fell asleep, Bai Yiqing came back and asked urgently: "I can't hear it clearly on the phone, what do you say you are going to do?" ”
"I need to go back to City A."
"I'll go with you."
"It's a bit far away, and there is no one to take care of the child."
Bai Yiqing frowned and said, "But you run so far alone, what can you do to Shen Qiushui and them?" ”
"So you've guessed ......"
Bai Yiqing nodded: "When you said on the phone that you wanted to confirm something, I guessed that the whole incident had nothing to do with Shen Qiushui and them." ”
"I'm really just here to make sure, do you think I'm going to fight them face to face?"
"Take me!" Bai Yiqing said: "You divert their attention, I will take the opportunity to investigate." ”
"Wait." I took Bai Yiqing with me: "I will draw you the mechanism and entrance of the secret passage." ”
I got pen and paper. Drawing the entrance and mechanism, Bai Yiqing looked at it and crumpled the drawings into a ball and threw them into the trash.
Without much discussion, we hurriedly left City B and returned to the city full of memories but infinite sin.
At least one conjecture has been confirmed, that is, after arriving in City B, the fluctuation of energy has never been stronger.
Bai Yiqing and I stayed for one night, and he sat there alone that night and didn't know what he was studying, and when he coaxed the baby over, he saw him drawing talismans.
"What kind of charm is this?"
Bai Yiqing said: "The invisibility talisman, but it's very complicated. I don't know if I can make it before dawn, and ......"
He scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "I'm not good at learning, if I paint for most of the night, this talisman will have no effect at all, how hurtful will it be?" ”
"Didn't you also say last time that the paper crane was useless? Isn't the result still good? Be confident in yourself. ”
Bai Yiqing sighed: "Speaking of the paper crane last time, it suddenly set itself on fire in mid-air in the middle of use. ”
I was stunned for two seconds: "So...... Do you dare to use this stealth technique? ”
"At the critical moment, if it doesn't work, you have to try." He picked up the charm and blew it: "You go to sleep first, I won't be able to finish it for a while."
"Well, then I'll go to bed first."
The next day, I went to visit Shen's house and met Weber.
A hint of surprise flashed on Weibo's face, and then he was as kind as ever: "It turns out that Miss Lingsheng is back, it's really rare, I'll go and inform Mr. Shen." ”
"Okay."
After a while, Wei Bo hurriedly came out again: "Mr. Shen invites Miss Lingsheng in." ”
"Thank you, Weber." Walking into the villa, it seems that everything in the past is still vivid, but I know that those who used to be will not come back.
At this time, Shen Qiushui and Gu Xi were having breakfast when they saw me coming. Shen Qiushui said very calmly: "Sit down and have breakfast together?" ”
"No, I ate it."
Shen Qiushui looked at me, and then retracted his gaze: "You came here, it won't be as simple as just sitting and sitting, right?" ”
Gu Xi put down the dishes and said in a deep voice, "You shouldn't come here." ”
"Xi me, don't say that, since you're here, you're a distinguished guest, not to mention Lingsheng?" Shen Qiushui ate breakfast calmly and sighed: "Time is really fast, and it is the most ruthless, once it passes, it will never come back." ”
I didn't expect him to exclaim like this: "I thought time didn't mean anything to you." ”
Shen Qiushui smiled: "How can it be meaningless?" After all, I'm just a mortal, and I'll miss all the good things in the past. ”
"Then continue to be nostalgic, don't always think about going back to the past, Mr. Shen, I think this world has its own rules of survival, you shouldn't destroy it."
Shen Qiushui didn't answer, wiped the table after eating, and sat down opposite me.
"You came to see me, no matter what it was, I'm glad to see you." His expression is so sincere that it's easy to believe it.
"Thank you." I thanked him indifferently, if he wasn't the original culprit who killed him, I might still be a little merciful to him.
He looked at me helplessly: "You have to talk to me in such an indifferent tone?" Lingsheng, you should know very well what I do to you! ”
"Mr. Shen, you hurt two people who are most important to me."
"Hehe......" he sneered: "What about me? In your eyes, in your heart, am I so unbearable? Can't even compare to the concubine?! What did I do wrong to you? Let you hate me like this, and avoid me like a femme fatale. ”
In fact, if you don't talk about anything else, Shen Qiushui has indeed been very good, and if there is no soul change, I will still have a lot of gratitude in my heart for him.
But it's just gratitude, and nothing else.
"Mr. Shen, stop deceiving yourself, you are good to me, just trying to make up for your regrets, this kind of goodness is selfish, and it is not popular on the surface."
"Speaking of how great and pure Chu Nantang seems to be, could it be that when he approached you, his purpose was simple?"
My eyes fell on the child who seemed to be faintly uneasy, and I said in a deep voice: "Although at the beginning, there were many misunderstandings and estrangements between us, but after getting along for a long time, the more we can see the essence of Nantang and you. Shen Qiushui, what do you think love is? Is it plunder, is it captivity? At least Nantang wouldn't do such a thing. ”
"That's because he's weak and incompetent." Shen Qiushui smiled absently and smoked a cigarette.
"The real weakness and incompetence is to never dare to face the mistakes you have made, but you know it in your heart. That person's inner strength is beyond your reach. ”
This sentence seemed to stimulate him, he put out his cigarette and stared at me hatefully: "He's just a down-and-out young master, weak and helpless, who am I?" Beyond his reach?? Joke! Joke!!! ”
"Zhang Lingsheng, let's go! This is not the place you should be. "Before Shen Qiushui got out of control, Gu Xi and I got up and hurried to catch people away.
I don't know if Xiaobai came out of the secret room safely, although the secret room is not very complicated. But for ordinary people, it's like a labyrinth that can never be escaped.
"Don't go!" Shen Qiushui sneered a few times in a low voice: "Since you and that kid have the courage to come back, I naturally have to welcome it!" ”
"You ......"
Shen Qiushui held his long legs and lit a cigarette again: "Lingsheng, am I spoiling you too much?" Although I have a ten-year appointment with you, I don't have any agreement with that kid, and it just so happens that the energy is still lacking, so it's better to replace him, although he is still the purest virgin essence. ”
Gu Xi and I turned my face away, and Shen Qiushui gave an order to break in two bodyguards and bring me to the secret room.
I saw Bai Yiqing being tied up in chains and hanging in the center of the altar, and thirteen girls were imprisoned on the four walls, and they were already full of breath, which was extremely weird.
"They're all dead?"
"It's not so easy to die, until the essence is absorbed, it will slowly struggle to die." Shen Qiushui looked at everything in front of him cold-bloodedly. stepped forward and pinched Bai Yiqing's chin, and Bai Yiqing woke up slowly.
When he saw all this clearly, he shouted: "Lingsheng! Let me go...... MD, you big pervert, you have killed so many people! You will be punished. ”
Shen Qiushui's thick eyebrows frowned, as if he was tired of hearing his noise, and bent his knees to hit his lower abdomen hard.
Bai Yiqing snorted sullenly, spit out a mouthful of sour water, and the pain made his whole handsome face distort and he couldn't say a word.
"Xiaobai! Shen Qiushui, isn't it enough that you have harmed so many people? I put Xiaobai!! ”
Shen Qiushui was unmoved: "Soon, he won't have the strength to scream anymore." ”
The cold sweat on my back couldn't help but spill through my clothes, and I whispered, "What do you want to do?" For what to kill so many people, is it worth it?! ”
"A lot of things, after you do it, you can't go back." Shen Qiushui did not change his color: "Lingsheng, you know, I don't want to hurt you. ”
"You've been saying you don't want to hurt me, but you've been doing things that hurt me."
Shen Qiushui sighed lightly: "What do you have to do so that you will look at me squarely?" ”
"You let Xiaobai go, let go of these people!"
He chuckled, "You're always making me do things I can't do, and it's hard for me." ”
"And what do you mean by love? Is it harm? Do people like you know what love is? ”
"Perhaps...... Maybe I don't understand what love is. I just don't want to hurt you. Lingsheng ......"
"Don't come here!!" I staggered back a few steps with the child in my arms, and glanced at Bai Yiqing, who was chained: "Shen Qiushui, you are a demon in human skin!" ”
"Yes, I am a demon, in your eyes I have no evil and no deeds, I am a mustard of human life, where can I compare to Chu Nantang's flawless and noble and unparalleled?"
He smiled evilly and took out the short dagger in his hand: "I will bleed your friend, and when his blood melts into the formation, the energy of the formation will be enhanced, and at that time, maybe the plate of Fuxi will be opened." ”
"What are you for? Turning things around is a curse! ”
"Damnation? Hahahahaha......" He looked up to the sky and laughed: "So what's the matter? Let the thunder slash me, the rain will rain me, so that I will never be reborn! It's a pity that good people don't live long, and the scourge lasts for thousands of years. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Xi: "Go and sacrifice the plate of Fuxi, it just so happens that almost everyone is here today, Lingsheng, I will let you understand." People will conquer the day. What I want to do, no one can stop me! ”
"Yes, Mr. Shen." Gu Xi glanced back at me, turned around and walked out of the secret room.
Shen Qiushui used a dagger to cut the pulse on Xiao Bai's wrist, and the bright red blood snaked down his arm, Bai Yiqing had already sucked away a part of the essence in the formation before, and the whole person was already unconscious at this time.
Bright red blood flowed into the formation, and the place where it passed was like a blazing fire, and the energy on the altar became even more intense and dazzling.
"Shen Qiushui, are you crazy?!"
Shen Qiushui threw away the dagger in his hand and licked his bloodstained fingers. The evil man smiled: "Do you know where Chu Nantang's biggest failure is?" It is the kindness of his wife, who has just broken constantly, but it is a pity that he is prosperous and rich but has no life to enjoy. When I was young, I envied two people the most, do you know who they are? ”
Seeing that I pursed my lips and did not speak, he continued: "One is the Governor of the Nanyang Warlords, and later, I killed him and took his place. The other is the little prince of Chu who has accumulated thousands of favors all his life. ”
"It's you, too...... Instructed Rong Wan to kill him! ”
"That is, the autumn water. What is Nantang? Naturally, I can't tolerate him, who told him to always be my enemy? For the thorn in the eye and the thorn in the heart, he will never show mercy. ”
Not long after, Gu Xi and I took the Fuxi Plate, he silently recited the incantation, and the Fuxi Disk also seemed to feel a powerful energy, slowly floating from Gu Xi's hand, rotating rapidly in the sky, emitting a dazzling light.
Shen Qiushui exclaimed: "It seems to have some effect!" As long as the energy is strong enough, the Disk of Fuxi can be opened! ”
The child in his arms suddenly became extremely uneasy and cried loudly. Their attention was now all on the Fuxi Plate.
If Bai Yiqing's blood is to be put like this again, I am afraid that it will really be exhausted.
I glanced lightly at the dagger that was thrown on the ground, walked over, picked up the dagger on the ground and rested it on Shen Qiushui's neck with lightning speed.
"Let go of Xiaobai!!"
Shen Qiushui sneered: "You actually threatened me? ”
"You forced me."
"You want to kill me?" Shen Qiushui's tone carried a hint of sadness: "Then do it and see if you can kill me." ”
"I don't want to kill anyone, I just want you to let go of Bai Yiqing!! Let these innocent girls go!! ”
He let out a long sigh, "Silly boy. ”
He reached out and took my hand and grabbed my wrist until he snatched the dagger from my hand.
As if performing, he slashed his wrist with a knife, and the flesh was cut open and blood quickly oozed, but in just a few seconds, the blood healed as before.
"Look, you can't hurt me."
Suddenly, Bai Yiqing chuckled: "Hehehe......"
Shen Qiushui and Gu Xi looked back at him at the same time, Bai Yiqing slowly raised his head, his eyes were blood-red, and his tone was lazy and arrogant: "It's so lively!" ”
As he spoke, he twisted his neck and sighed, "How long has it been since I came out?" Xi me, my little apprentice grandson......"
Gu Xi's body trembled. His eyes widened in horror and stared at the person in front of him: "You...... You are ......"
"What's going on? Energy...... In the reverse return! Shen Qiushui glanced at the gradually weakening ball of energy light, and his expression was incredulous.
The wound on Bai Yiqing's wrist had healed, he roared angrily, and the iron lock tied to him shattered and fell in an instant.
He held up his hand and touched the ball of energy light in front of him, Shen Qiushui was shocked, and stepped forward to stop him, but he was shaken open by a powerful force and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Fuxi's Plate?" Bai Yiqing tilted his head and looked at the disc in front of him: "Can you go back to the past?" Heheheha...... Then take me back to my kingdom!! ”
He began to urge the Fuxi plate, turned his head to look at Gu Xi, who was stunned, and said coldly: "My disciple Sun, still don't kneel?" ”
Gu Xi suddenly raised his head and looked at the person in front of him like an electric shock, and the horror in his eyes was gradually spreading.
Suddenly, a red spell flew in from outside the secret door, and the figure was like the speed of light, instantly appeared in front of Bai Yiqing, and the spell in his hand had been sealed on his forehead.
Chu Nantang chuckled: "If you want to kneel, you kneel first." ”
At that moment, something was withdrawn from Bai Yiqing's body, and his body fell to the ground.
