Ling Sizhe sank his eyes and said, "Xiaobai and Qing Dye." ”

When we came to the chamber to check it out, it was taken away along with the glass coffin, and there were no suspicious traces even around.

Chu Nantang pondered for a long time before asking, "Are the anti-theft systems normal?" ”

Ling Sizhe nodded: "It's all normal, although there are many mechanisms in the secret room, but the person who stole the glass coffin is like entering a no-man's land, I am wondering if it is a person?" ”

Chu Nantang looked around and said in a deep voice: "It should be someone who knows the situation here very well, otherwise it is impossible to have no clues at all." ”

Ling Sizhe's face was solemn: "However, only you and I know about the mechanism and encryption system here, even Mrs. Chu doesn't know." ”

Chu Nantang made it clear: "I am very sure that you will not do such a thing, after all, it does not mean anything to you." ”

Seeing Chu Nantang's clear statement, Ling Sizhe relieved his heart: "Thank you Mr. Chu for your trust." ”

"Is everything normal in Lisheng?"

"Well, Mr. Li, everything is normal, Mr. Chu don't worry."

Chu Nantang pondered for a long time before he said: "The most important thing at the moment is that Lisheng doesn't have any more accidents, I will find a way to find Xiaobai and Qingran as soon as possible." ”

"Why don't you change the machine?"

"No, their purpose has been achieved, and they won't come again, otherwise, there is no reason to only steal Qingran and Xiaobai's coffins for the first time, and come a second time."

"Yes." Ling Sizhe let out a long sigh; "It's really eventful right now, first the bronze box was stolen, and now they are stealing people, it's crazy."

"I'll leave it to you here, has there been any progress in the development of the antidote?"

"Mr. Chu, don't worry, it's just that the production process is a little troublesome, and the medicinal materials you provided me with are very complete. So I'm absolutely fine here, and the most important thing at the moment is to get Mr. Bai and Miss Li back. ”

Chu Nantang patted him on the shoulder: "You don't have to worry about other things, as long as you can prepare the antidote." ”

Ling Sizhe was full of scoundrels and sighed lightly: "I hope your side can go smoothly, but I'm afraid there will be some kind of moth." ”

On the way back, Chu Nantang's car drove extremely slowly, and I reminded: "Nantang, red light." ”

Only then did he come to his senses and stop the car.

While waiting for the red light, I thought about it and said: "Nantang, they are moving frequently now, and it is estimated that they are ready to send it." ”

He tapped the steering wheel lightly with his ten fingers and said in a deep voice, "I was wondering who this person could be?" ”

"Who?"

"How did he know about the glass coffin containing two people and the anti-theft system that was full of opportunities and anti-theft systems in the secret room?"

"Do we really have a spy here?"

He turned his head sharply and stared at me worriedly: "It should be for sure, he stole the bronze ancient box, and he also stole the glass coffin." ”

"But ......" I couldn't figure it out: "Xiaobai, they can't wake up, only a few of us are left, and Professor Zhang stays in school every day, where do you sometimes steal glass coffins?" ”

"Did Madame ever think that one of those three people was not asleep? Has he always been conscious? ”

"How is this possible? We saw it injected into their bodies. "I didn't dare to think deeply, for fear of finding an answer that I couldn't accept.

"Forget it, let's go home first. The green light is on. "The car continued to move forward, I think Nantang's mood at the moment may be as heavy as mine, obviously very tired of dealing with these things, but I have to face it.

However, we can accept the impact of external forces, but what about the betrayal of friends?

I felt very tired that night, and after coaxing Xiaofan, I went to bed.

Half-asleep, a voice kept ringing in my ears.

'Once the heart of the flame is awakened, it will herald the thousands of troops buried in the ground to see the light of day! ’

'The heart of the flame will awaken ......'

'Shocking——! ’

I woke up from my sleep in fright, and found that Chu Nantang was no longer around, and touched the empty bed, which was already cold.

Looking at the time, it was already four o'clock in the morning, where would he go at this time?

I got out of bed, grabbed my clothes and walked out of the room.

The lonely moonlight shone in from the windowsill and sprinkled on the smooth floor, and I called softly twice: "Nantang, Nantang, are you there?" ”

There was no response, I felt a faint uneasiness in my heart, and subconsciously ran to Xiaofan's room, only to see the Ten Palaces Siyin guarding the room, feeling that someone had broken in and walked out of the darkness.

Seeing that I am, he saluted and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Xiao Fan was still asleep, and the heart he was carrying was slightly relaxed, and I gently exited the room and searched all over the room.

It wasn't until it was almost dawn that I saw Lu Wei walking in from outside, and I got up from the sofa and greeted him.

"Lu Wei, have you seen Mr. Chu?"

Lu Wei said clearly: "At twelve o'clock last night, I saw Mr. Chu driving the car and leaving in a hurry, as if he was going to the villa on the top of the mountain, he specially told him, if Mrs. mentioned it, tell her that she has business to deal with in the past two days, and she may not come back." ”

It came so suddenly, I was not prepared at all, and it was impossible for him to leave in such a hurry without saying a word to me.

"Lu Wei, you take care of Xiaofan, I'll go to the hilltop villa. If there are no surprises, I will be back soon. ”

"This ......" Lu Weiwei's face was solemn. Bite one's tongue.

I felt that something was wrong, and pulled him over and asked him seriously; "You tell me the truth, what the hell is going on?!"

Lu Wei shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, it's just that when Mr. Chu left, he was in a very bad state, and his whole face was very pale, and he seemed to be in great pain." I asked him, but Mr. Chu didn't want to say more. ”

"I'll go first, and I'll leave the affairs of the family to you."

"Okay, don't worry, madam."

I hurriedly went out and hailed a taxi, all the way to the top of the hill to the villa. Sure enough, I saw Chu Nantang's car parked in the courtyard of the villa.

I forgot to bring the key in my hurry, so I rang the doorbell, but no one inside came to open the door.

I could only climb to the window and shout a few times inside: "Nantang! Nantang, open the door! I know you're in there! What's going on? What is there we will face and solve together, you don't want to hide quietly alone! ”

Every time it's like this, he always suffers silently by himself, but he doesn't want to talk to me about anything, but the more he does this, the more worried I become.

Finally his voice came from inside the room, a little weak, but fortunately it seemed to be fine.

"Madam, I'm fine, you go back first, don't worry about me, go back and take good care of Xiaofan."

Tears welled up in an instant: "Do you think I can leave you here alone and leave with peace of mind?" How could I not worry about you? If you're really okay, just open the door and let me in and take a look at you, if you're really okay, I'll take a look and leave! ”

Seeing that I insisted on refusing to leave, Chu Nantang did not persuade me again, but he also refused to open the door, and the house returned to a dead silence.

I waited outside for hours, when suddenly a drizzle began to fall in the sky, until it became heavier and heavier, and the icy rain washed everything.

Suddenly I heard the sound of the door lock opening, and I rushed in excitedly, only to see that the man in front of me was full of green hair, and his hair turned gray overnight.

I stood still, unable to recover for a long time.

"Nantang, how is your hair ......?"

"The forbidden spell is getting worse and worse, and it has led to gray hair overnight."

I choked up and hugged him: "Then why did you never tell me, and quietly hid yourself here alone, do you know how worried and scared I am?" ”

"I'm sorry ma'am, I don't know what's going to happen next. If ......" he was silent for a long time: "If I really want to leave you, I hope in a place where you can't see it, so that you don't feel too sad and just think I've gone far away." ”

"You big fool! You won't leave me, unless there's really a reason to go, and if you leave quietly like this, I know you've got something going to happen. ”

He smiled bitterly: "Aren't I still standing in front of you now?" ”

"Long Jianyue said that he could break the forbidden spell, have you looked for him?"

"I looked for it later, and he only said that he would have to wait until the full moon night in four months to solve the forbidden curse."

"The rapid erosion of the forbidden spell is related to the bronze ancient box that has been opened, that is the power that can suppress the erosion of your forbidden spell, and it just so happens that Long Jianyue's power has returned, Long Jianyue is the one who can break the forbidden spell, you say, will there be any connection between this?"

Chu Nantang smiled: "Madam is really getting smarter and smarter." ”

"Haven't you been forced yet? And I've learned a lot from you. I smiled at him, and my sadness was diluted a lot.

"The key is still on Long Jianyue's side, as long as he can remember everything. Perhaps many difficulties can be solved. ”

At this moment, Chu Nantang's phone rang, he looked back at the phone resting on the coffee table, and said in a deep voice: "It's probably Professor Zhang calling, I'll answer the phone." ”

I answered lightly, saw that I took the phone and walked to the side to answer the phone, my expression was a little solemn, and I waited for a while before hanging up.

He took his coat and seemed to be about to go out: "Madam, I'm going to the university now, are you with me?" ”

"Well, I'm going, don't try to get rid of me in the future."

I stepped forward and hugged his arm, and with all my strength, I guess I couldn't shake it off.

He laughed. Leaned forward and kissed me on the forehead and drove with me to school.

When I came to Professor Zhang's research room, the door was ajar, and I saw him sitting in front of the computer, unhurriedly as if he was sorting out the materials.

Chu Nantang knocked on the door politely, and when he heard the knock, Professor Zhang looked up and beckoned to us: "Come, come in." ”

Chu Nantang and I walked in and closed the door.

At this time, Professor Zhang glanced at Chu Nantang's hair while calling up the literature, and said humorously: "Where did the young man dye his hair?" It's not for you, so let's dye it back quickly. ”

Chu Nantang smiled: "Next time, I'll try to dye my hair red." ”

Professor Zhang looked disgusted and muttered: "Chinese, the black-haired signature Xiangzheng, engage in those who are not three-hundred-and-four." Where is it good? ”

This time, I couldn't help but laugh: "Teacher, that's called fashion." ”

"Fashion? Don't want this kind of fashion. Mr. Chu, look at this ......"

Chu Nantang stepped forward, took the mouse and flipped through it: "These are all the words of the ancient country of Wuqiang, what is written on it?" ”

"Then I found an old friend who specialized in these strange ancient texts, so I asked him to translate them. It is about the monarch of the Qiang Kingdom, who wants to get the life and power of Yongheng and dominate the world. So he asked the high priest to make an elixir for him.

A bit like Emperor Qin's time, these pills did make him much younger, but he still couldn't achieve immortality, so Wang Yue became more and more dissatisfied, and privately discussed with other elders of the Wu clan.

An evil array was laid down, and it is said that this evil array is dominated by the essence of virgins, and as long as this evil array is maintained, it will never be destroyed. Then you can achieve the effect of immortality through the power obtained by this evil array.

However, this evil array killed many people, and the high priest Feng caused a civil strife in order to stop the monarch month, and the elders of the witch clan obeyed the orders of the monarch moon and fought with the high priest Feng, and finally the high priest exhausted all his strength and sealed the army of the monarch moon under the ground

Breaking the seal requires the Flame Spirit, and after the High Priest Feng sealed his army, he handed it over to his most trusted sister, Nuo. In the chaos, Nuo fled with a flame spirit, and he didn't know where to flee. ”

I glanced at Chu Nantang and was shocked.

Chu Nantang said: "I still can't find the source before. ”

"What?"

"The legend of using the essence of the virgin to condense powerful energy and achieve immortality does exist. And I met two people like that. Perhaps, not just two, maybe three, maybe four......"

The old professor was a little confused: "Wait, you mean, have you ever seen this kind of evil array?" ”

"Yes, I did, old professor, I have a bold guess."

"What?"

Chu Nantang took a deep breath before saying, "King Yue of the Qiang Kingdom may still be alive. ”

"This ...... These are all wild legends, how can they be taken seriously? Immortal, a demon who has lived for more than a thousand years? ”

"Professor Zhang, thank you very much for your help to me, these documents are of great significance to me. After that, you don't have to meddle anymore, I'm afraid I'll involve you, because these things are no longer something that ordinary people can solve. ”

Professor Zhang still can't understand it, or these things that obviously sound like you are fantastical, and someone tells him that they do exist seriously, and he can't accept it at all.

"This ...... I'll have to think about it and digest it! ”

"Teacher, Nantang doesn't want you to be in danger anymore, this matter has been investigated so far, and I have almost learned a rough idea."

Professor Zhang pursed his lips and did not speak, and said for a long time: "I have always done things from beginning to end, although this is indeed something that I can't quite accept, but if there is a result, you must tell me and talk about it in detail." ”

Chu Nantang smiled: "Yes, thank you, Professor Zhang." ”

Chu Nantang and I did not go back to the house, but went back to the villa on the top of the mountain.

Fortunately, there are still many ingredients to cook in the villa, and I carefully made a few dishes for him in the evening, and I was also happy to see that he ate very well.

After eating, I asked him, "Do you want to rest here tonight, or do you want to go back to the house?" ”

"Let's rest here tonight." Chu Nantang put down the documents copied in his hand, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows.

I stepped forward and massaged his temples: "Won't it feel better?" ”

"Madame is really virtuous." His eyes full of tenderness looked at me for a moment, and he caressed my face with his backhand, and I raised my hand to cover it, and clasped ten fingers with him.

"Time really flies......"

I smiled lightly: "Yes, we have gone through two lifetimes, and we are obviously very familiar, but when I am with you, I still feel that time is far from enough." Nantang, I love you. ”

"I know." Chu Nantang's eyes flashed with tears, he took a deep breath, and pulled me over and sat beside him.

"Actually, it's been a long time for me, and there are a lot of things I can't remember clearly. We can't imagine what the concept of living for a thousand years will be like. ”

"A person lives alone for a thousand years, it is simply a kind of torture, watching his relatives, friends, and lovers pass away one by one, won't he feel pain?

But we are different, we have each other, time is actually meaningless to us, as long as you are by my side, we can hold hands and go to the earth together. No longer reincarnated in life and death, do whatever you want, and love each other wantonly, isn't it a very romantic thing? ”

"Madame is very right." He leaned forward and kissed me on the lips.

From dragonfly to water, gradually warm and long, his hot breath sprayed on my neck socket, a little itchy.

I bit my lip, buried it in his chest, and softly shouted his name: "Nantang, Nantang......"

I felt that his breathing became more and more rapid, and he violently picked me up, I exclaimed, and my hands subconsciously hooked his neck.

"Ma'am, let's go to the room and continue to keep warm."

"Uh-huh......" I felt a heat on my face. Don't dare to look at his warm eyes.

He chuckled lowly and teased, "Madame is so cute, but she is still so shy." ”

He asked me three times that night until I fell asleep in his arms.

Once again, the forgotten dream came to mind, the voice so distant that it seemed to come from the sky, strange and incomparably familiar.

'Awaken the heart of the fire. ’

I felt like I was in an enclosed space, surrounded by pitch black, boundless, like a black hole in the universe.

"Who are you? Where are you? ”

Suddenly, a blurry face appeared in the dark sky, and I tried my best to see his appearance, but the face was like a bubble in the water. It's unreal at all.

"Arnold, stop them, protect the heart of the flames."

"What's the Heart of Fire?"

The face was gone, and a hand appeared, like a black cloud that changed at will, and he told me, "The flame has turned into your heart, don't let people take your heart!" ”

With that, the big hand passed through my left heart.

I screamed and woke up in a cold sweat.

"Madame! What happened to you? Chu Nantang was so frightened by me that he sat up from the bed and asked with a concerned expression.

I covered my face with my tired hands for a long time before I said, "Maybe it's because too many things have happened recently, and I always have some strange dreams." ”

Chu Nantang hugged me into his arms, patted my back with one hand, and kept comforting me.

"It's okay. Don't worry, I'm here, no matter what happens, I'm there for you. ”

I took a deep breath and raised my hand to hug him: "Then you have to remember that you can't leave quietly and leave me alone in the future." No! Chu Nantang, did you hear clearly?! ”

"I swear I'll never leave you alone again."

After hearing this, I felt a burst of joy in my heart, and I couldn't help but stretch my eyebrows and laughed: "Well, if there is a next time, I will take a leave of absence, take Xiaofan to remarry together, and let you cry to death." ”

"Ma'am. You're naughty. ”

Chu Nantang took his glasses and looked at the time: "It's still early, it's only three o'clock in the morning, and Mrs. continues to sleep." ”

"Why are you going?"

"I'm going to make coffee."

"You're not sleeping? It's still so early, what coffee do you make? ”

Chu Nantang smiled: "When you are not there, I am used to getting up at three o'clock every day, making a cup of coffee, taking care of my work, and then it will be dawn." ”

Listening to him mention these casually, Mo Ming was a little sad.

"No, I'm back now, can't you fix these problems? You sleep with me, you are not by my side, I always sleep solidly. ”

He sighed lightly, took off his glasses and helped me lie down with me: "Okay." Madame, sleep, I'll sleep with you. ”

"Hmm."

But not long after he lay down, there was a strange noise outside the house.

Chu Nantang turned on the bedside lamp, and suddenly a hand 'snapped' on the glass window of the room, and only a figure flashed by.

The bloody handprints left on the transparent glass window make people feel creepy.

Chu Nantang turned over, walked to the window, and looked out the window, but it was dark with mountains outside the window.

He thought about it, carefully checked that the window was locked, and then lowered the curtains.

He turned back to me and said, "Madam, I'll go out and have a look, you stay in the room and don't come out." ”

"I'm going with you." I said subconsciously.

Chu Nantang's face was grim: "Listen to me and stay in the room." If anything, you're going to distract me. ”

I knew he said that, but he didn't want me to risk it, so I answered softly and watched his back disappear into the doorway.

Don't know what's going on out there? I don't know if he can handle it alone?

If it was Chu Nantang in the past, I might not be as worried as I am now, he is now with a forbidden spell in his body, and the erosion of the forbidden spell on him has been so serious, it must have a serious impact on his mana.

I waited anxiously until I heard a knock on the door outside, my heart almost jumping out of my chest, and I stared at the closed door with wide eyes, and the minutes ticked by.

I don't know if I'm too nervous, I seem to hear the sound of someone walking outside, and I called softly: "Nantang." Is it you out there? Nantang ......"

Why is there no sound now? I cautiously got out of bed, quietly unlocked the room, and opened the door a crack to look out.

But in the crack of the door, a pair of bloodshot eyes were faced, and the forest was cold and deadly.

I was so scared that I couldn't even scream, and I fell to the ground.

The door squeaked open slowly, and I saw a hand stretched out from behind to push the rotting corpse open, and when I met his smiling eyes, I felt chills all over my body, like falling into hell.

"Long time no see, Lingsheng."

I swallowed my saliva quietly and took a few steps back: "Shen Qiushui, don't come here!" ”

But where would he listen to me, chuckling and approaching me step by step: "Lingsheng, why? I'm so good to you, but you always want to leave me, I ask myself if there is anything that can't compare to Chu Nantang, but every time you face me, your attitude makes me chill! ”

"You forced me!"

"That's because I love you! I just want you to stay with me. He walked over to me as he spoke.

"Don't come here! Shen Qiushui, what do you want to do?! ”

"What do I want to do? Heh, there's a lot I want to do, but I don't think you'd be interested in knowing. He walked up to me, slowly crouched down, clasped my chin, and met my eyes.

Seeing my frightened appearance, he seemed to be very satisfied: "Don't worry about Chu Nantang, because he can't come back." The rotting corpses outside have all awakened, even if there are ten Chu Nantang, he can't fly, and he has been hit by the forbidden spell, and the forbidden spell will slowly and slowly devour his essence clean. ”

With endless hatred, I stared at the evil man in front of me.

"Shen Qiushui, you just don't plan to let me go, do you?"

"If you listen to me, there won't be so much between us! Maybe for the sake of the past, I don't have to be embarrassed by Chu Nantang, but Lingsheng, why don't you always see what I have paid for you? In your eyes, there is only Chu Nantang, only Chu Nantang!! ”

He was furious, clasping my shoulders fiercely, his fingertips digging deep into the flesh, as if his bones would be crushed by him in the next second.

"Let Chu Nantang go! You let Chu Nantang go!! ”

"Oh? Hehe...... Hahaha...... Lingsheng, why are you still so naïve? Today, do you think I will release Chu Nantang? ”

I raised my hand and clasped his arm: "Don't you want me to go with you?" I do, you...... You Gu Xi and I don't hurt people anymore. ”

"Do you think you're still qualified to negotiate terms with me? If I don't agree, I'm going to take you away! ”

"No, I'm going to be with Nantang, I'm going to find him!" I ran out desperately, and suddenly there was a mysterious force behind me that made me suck in, and my consciousness instantly withdrew from my body and fell into a long darkness.

When I woke up again, I found myself lying in a strange room, surrounded by darkness with no light but the bedside light, which emitted a dim glow.

I opened the curtains and looked out, there was endless darkness, no stars, no moon.

Such a dark night seems to be a little unusual.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of someone walking in the hallway. I stepped forward and twisted the door, but found that it was locked and couldn't be opened.

"Let me out! Let me out! Shen Qiushui, Shen Qiushui! ”

Finally, I heard the sound of someone unlocking, and subconsciously took two steps back, only to see Shen Qiushui walking in with food in his hand.

"Eat something when you wake up, don't blame me for abusing you."

I stepped forward and swept what he had placed on the table to the ground: "I don't eat!" What happened to Nantang? You tell me, what did you do to him?! ”

He trembled, as if he were holding back great sorrow and anger.

"Dead! He's dead! How? Desperate? Sad? Yes? Scold...... Can you die with him? What can Chu Nantang give you? He can't give you anything but endless despair and pain, you see, he's so weak that he can't even protect himself, what do you say to protect you? Stop dreaming! ”

"My pain is all from you! It has never been Nantang! "I hate him, I want to tear him off.

I used to think. I don't really hate someone, it's just because I haven't encountered the despair that can hurt a person so completely before.

"If you loved me, everything would be different, wouldn't it?" Shen Qiushui forced me into a corner step by step.

I turned my face away and didn't want to look at him anymore, he sneered: "You just don't love me, no matter how much I do, no matter how good I do, I am not as good as him in your heart." Lingsheng, don't you believe in my love for you until now? ”

"Shen Qiushui, the person you love has always been you! For your own dreams and goals, you can do whatever it takes to hurt others, this is the biggest difference between you and Nantang! ”

"Good, good." He took two steps back, seemingly unintentioned to persuade me again. I also know that I am hardened and will not listen to him anymore.

"Anyway, Chu Nantang is dead, I have time to spend with you, and what I want to do, no one can stop me, wait and see, when I get everything I want, you will definitely be impressed with me."

"Shen Qiushui, you look like a madman now!"

"Huh...... I don't care, didn't you say I would do whatever it took for my own ends? Keep your eyes open and see how I'm going to get to the top step by step! ”

He didn't come to see me again, and there was nothing in the room except a bed and a table.

I found that there was no day in this place, even at the end of the night, and there were no stars or moon. It's as if you're in an otherworldly space, disconnected from the real world.

Or maybe I'm already in hell.

Someone brought food every day, and left the room when it was done.

At first I had the strength to resist, but when I was so hungry that I began to eat the food they had brought me.

I don't believe that Nantang is dead, he is Chu Nantang, and he will not die so easily.

He also promised me that night that he would never leave me again in this life, yes, I would live well until I saw his bones.

I raised my hand to wipe the tears from my eyes, forcing myself to eat the food in large gulps, even though it was like chewing wax.

When a person is in a desperate situation and can do nothing, the only thing to do is to let himself live well.

Only by living can there be hope.

On this day, the girl brought dinner and was about to leave. I stopped her.

"Can you tell me where the hell this is? Why can't I see the sun, only the boundless darkness? Baidu direct search: "Tianqing Academy" is free, no problem!
