My body was getting colder and my consciousness was getting more and more blurred, and I lay on the shady bluestone bricks, and there was silence all around, as if I was the only one in the whole world.

"I'm dying, Xiaobai, where are you?"

"Chen Shen" I don't know how long the time has passed, it may be a day, or it may be a second, a familiar voice appeared in my ears.

"What's wrong with you"

My eyes were slightly open, and in my blurred vision was Mu Ling's anxious and haggard face.

"Mu Ling, why are you here?"

"Don't talk, I'll take you to the hospital"

"You and me" I felt like I was being carried by Mu Ling, I wanted to say something, but I didn't feel strong enough.

Lying on Mu Ling's back, I woke up groggily, occasionally opening my eyes slightly, and I saw the mountain scenery outside, it turned out that she had carried me out of the underground mausoleum.

I don't know how she did it.

After a while, Mu Ling put me down, and another pair of hands dragged me into a car.

"He's okay?"

"Hope it's okay."

I couldn't open my eyes, but I heard the voice of another person, as if it was Zhou Qian, they hadn't left before, stayed and waited for me, and then completely fell into the abyss of consciousness

"Chen Shen Chen Shen"

There was a lot of light in the dark world, and a white shadow appeared in front of my eyes.

"Xiaobai, what did you do just now?"

"You have been asleep for a day and a night, and I have no choice but to fall into your dreams"

"So I'm dreaming, I'm not dead yet"

"It's not dead yet, but it's almost there."

"It's so tiring to live, it's good to die, it's good to be a ghost."

"What nonsense, if you die like this, won't my previous efforts be in vain, you listen to me, you are not allowed to die without my permission"

"It's not something I can decide."

"I don't care, I'm telling you now, you hold on to me for at least another seven days, and before I come back, you're going to give me life"

"Seven days, I don't know if I can do it, what are you going to do?"

"I'll go find Shenyu and give you a chance to live."

"Do you know where the jade is"

"I don't know, but I can try my luck."

“”

"I'm not lying to you, you once told me in the last life that the two places where Shenyu is most likely to be are the underground mausoleum of the stinky Taoist priest, and the other is in a tomb deep in the mountains of the Qinling Mountains, where the stinky Taoist priest found the divine jade thousands of years ago. The return of things to their original owners is one of the most likely ways for stinky Taoists to dispose of the divine jade. ”

"Then why did he go to the tomb of Taiyi Zhenren to find it, instead of going to Qinling?"

"The Qinling Mountains are vast, and in the previous life, you didn't know the specific location of the tomb of the monk, how to find it, so he decided to go to the tomb of the stinky Taoist priest first, and the result"

"I see."

"Chen Shen, if you hold on for another seven days, as long as I find Shenyu, you can live."

"Seven days, I'll do my best"

"Just think it's for me. I'll take your little lover with me, and you'll be sure to wait for us to come back."

"Little lover, do you mean Mu Ling, she's going too"

"I'm in charge of finding that divine jade, and if I find it, I will eventually have to rely on her to bring it back."

"Okay, okay."

Xiaobai's figure disappeared into the depths of my consciousness, and my consciousness world began to separate and structure, and finally became a pure white ice and snow world.

It's fucking cold

The cold wind howled and raged, and endless ice and snow covered the whole world, and I could not feel my presence, only endless pain and cold

It's better to die than to die, to die is to be liberated, and to die is not painful

If you die, you can be with Xiaobai

I wanted to give up countless times, I wanted to leave so many times, but I promised her that I would wait for her to come back

It's been a few days, a day or two

Finally, one day, a warmth rose out of nowhere, and the ice and snow world began to melt, and I slowly regained consciousness.

I found myself in a hospital room with a red jade jue in my hand.

Yu Jue glowed with a faint red light, and warmth leaked out of the light, which made me feel very comfortable, and the yin qi in my body was suppressed by the impact of warmth, and I didn't know where to retreat.

This is

There was a familiar shadow lying next to the bed, with short black hair that was a little messy. I didn't wake her up, and quietly looked at the jade jue in my hand in a daze.

"I finally came back to life. This jade is the divine jade Xiaobai and Mu Ling, and in the end, they did it, and they found the divine jade. Where is she?"

"Chen Shen, you're awake" A cry of surprise came from my ears, interrupting my musings.

It turned out that Mu Ling woke up at some point, her description was very haggard, her expression was deeply tired, and there was a faint scratch on her face, but her eyes were very bright, and her eyes were shining with joy.

"Well, Mu Ling, I'm awake," I whispered, glancing at her gratefully, "Are you tired from going to Qinling?"

"Thank goodness you're finally awake," Mu Ling shook my hand excitedly, "I thought you wouldn't wake up."

For a moment, I thought she was going to cry, but she didn't, and although her eyes were red, she laughed: "It's good to be alive"

"yes, it's good to be alive." I said with emotion, thinking of the experience during this time, it was really the aftermath of the disaster.

"Mu Ling" I took my hand out of her hand and showed her the jade jue in my hand, "What is this?"

Mu Ling replied: "This is a divine jade, you can take it well." Xiaobai said that as long as you carry it, slowly your illness will be cured. ”

When Mu Ling mentioned Xiaobai, her tone was calm and natural, just like mentioning an ordinary friend, it seems that during the time I was in a coma, something happened between her and Xiaobai.

"Xiaobai, is she okay?" I muttered for a long time before I asked this sentence.

Mu Ling was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

"Don't you know that you didn't go to Qinling with you, and she didn't come back with you?"

Mu Ling lowered his head and said, "From the moment I got the Divine Jade, she disappeared, and I don't know where she is now"

My heart was shaken and I was silent.

After a long time, I asked softly, "What happened after I fell unconscious?"

"Chen Shen, although I don't know what the relationship between you and Xiaobai is, I can see that she cares about you very much. After you took Yang Xun away that day, the police came. After I was saved, Zhou Qian and I went out to look for you, but we searched for a long time but didn't find you. Later, Xiaobai suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. She said she was your friend, you were in danger at that time, let me go and save you. I could see that she was a ghost, but for some reason, I believed her, I contacted Zhou Qian, and opened the tomb door using the method that Xiaobai said, and I entered the bottom of the tomb, and sure enough, I saw you who were seriously injured. I carried you out and sent you to the hospital with Zhou Qian. It's just that the doctor said that you were too injured and wouldn't live long, and then Xiaobai reappeared, and she said that she had a way to save you, but she needed my help."

"You went to Qinling and found the Divine Jade"

"The divine jade was found by Xiaobai." Mu Ling said, "She searched the entire Qinling Mountains and finally found the place where the Shenyu was located. ”

I know how big the Qinling Mountains are, and if you want to find a small piece of jade in such a big place, it is better to find a needle in a haystack than to find a needle in a haystack. Xiaobai, how did she do it, and what a price she paid

Mu Ling's eyes in front of her were dark, she looked like she hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and there were scratches on her face, she went to Qinling with Xiaobai, and she also suffered a lot

If there is such a red face, what can I ask for?

"Mu Ling, you're tired, let's get a good night's sleep first." I looked at her and whispered.

She obediently lay on the side of the bed, and after a while fell into a deep sleep.

I held the divine jade, looked at Mu Ling's soft side face, and sighed softly.

Because of the divine jade in hand, my health improved quickly, and I was discharged from the hospital within a few days. Because it was so contrary to scientific principles, the doctor who had decided that I would not live long was so shocked that his jaw was about to drop, and he found me before I was discharged from the hospital, gave me a business card of his, and said that he wanted to be curious about me and asked me to contact him after I was discharged. I didn't want to be studied like a guinea pig, so I threw that business card in the trash when I was discharged from the hospital.

I was hospitalized in Beijing, and only a few people such as Zhou Qianya, Mu Ling, and Zeng Yi knew that they all came to pick me up on the day I was discharged.

It feels good to be reborn, my family and friends are there, but I feel that something is missing, and I know it's because of the lack of Xiaobai.

Mu Ling told Zeng Yi about Yang Xun, and he later went to Taiyiguan to collect Yang Xun's body, and as for the tomb of Taiyi Zhenren, it was taken over and protected by the State Cultural Relics Agency.

I went back to the provincial capital with Mu Ling, because of what happened to Yang Xun, the spirit case team was forced to be in a state of semi-disbandment. Mu Ling took me to her house and ate a meal cooked by her parents.

The spirit case team was in a state of semi-disbandment, and I don't know when it was reopened, I had nothing else to do, and I went back to my hometown once in the middle, and after a period of peace, I returned to the provincial capital.

The office of the Xincheng shopping mall is not closed, and I still go there every day to sit and sit, and then wander the streets and alleys, and if I am lucky, I will meet some lonely ghost and send them to reincarnation.

During this time, Mu Ling and I kept in touch more and more often, and our relationship became more and more intimate, and we would meet occasionally and then eat or watch movies together.

But we haven't decided on a relationship yet, we're just dating as ordinary friends. Mu Ling didn't rush me, but I could occasionally see a faint loneliness in her eyes.

Summer goes to winter, the wheel of time runs forward quickly, and before you know it, a year has passed.
