Chapter 30: Undercurrents
His consciousness gradually cleared, and although the hazy feeling eased, Bailizhi still understood that he was in a dream at this time.
The thick black mist surrounds the surroundings, and the luxurious wooden bridge under him faintly comes from the aroma contained in the elegant wood, which can't help but soothe Bailizhi's heart a little.
In a daze, I thought back to the memories of when I went crazy, but I could only remember that it seemed to have fought with someone, but the specific details were very unclear.
Even so, there is one point that Baili Zhi still knows in his heart, that is, the Son of Heaven was rescued by someone.
In a trance, a figure floated in from the dense fog with a little firefly.
The man stopped not far from Bailizhi, and the thick fog formed a curtain between the two of them.
As if to hide the man's face, the black fog became thicker and thicker as the man got closer.
The black shadow didn't wait for Baili Zhi to ask, and preemptively greeted
"Long time no see"
The headless words made Bailizhi also speechless for a while.
After only a brief hesitation, a memory suddenly emerged from Bailizhi's mind.
The voice of this tricky man was the same as the person in his memory, and it was exactly the same as the voice of the culprit who stabbed the knife into his body when he first boarded the bridge of dreams when Jiucang was attacked a few months ago.
"How can this dream have a follow-up?"
While complaining, Bailizhi leaned on the railing of the wooden bridge beside him.
He turned his head to look at the guy who was misty, and when he didn't react, he looked down at the bridge again.
I don't know if it's an illusion, a blue-white spirit deer flashed away in front of me. Bai Lizhi rubbed his eyes in a panic and looked again, but all that fell back into his eyes was the black mist and the bottomless abyss.
The black shadow was silent for a long time, and finally reluctantly took the initiative to remind
"Are you really leisurely, aren't you afraid that Xiao Candle will die completely?"
The words are not shocking, and they are endless.
The black shadow's sudden words made Baili Zhi's brain buzz, and his lazy eyes suddenly disappeared, and he stared sharply at the figure of the fan.
The black shadow seemed to think it was very interesting when he saw the change in Bailizhi's expression, and let out an inexplicable strange laugh, but he refused to continue to explain at all.
Seeing that he stopped speaking halfway, his impatience drove Bai Lizhi to step forward with an arrow, grabbed the man's collar without saying anything, and asked sharply
"What did you say?"
The sudden force forced the black shadow to be dragged out of the dense fog by Bailizhi in embarrassment.
His face fell into Bai Lizhi's eyes, and he couldn't help but suddenly make his heart tighten.
Although the man's face was just an ordinary public face, Bailizhi was more familiar with it than anyone else.
The reason why he is familiar is not because of anything else, it is precisely because his face is exactly the same as that of Bailizhi when he did not become a youkai a few months ago.
The mysterious man with the face of Baili Zhi looked at the shocked young man, his eyes suddenly became a little playful, and he opened his mouth to repeat his statement defiantly.
That's what it means literally. ”
Before the words fell, he saw Bai Lizhi's pupils shrink rapidly, and he was shocked to find that the strange man he was holding in his hand had turned into a cloud of black mist, and escaped from his palm without any scruples.
The black mist that the mysterious man had turned into gradually merged with the surrounding fog, and his laughter suddenly came from the fog again
"Someone called you outside, let's talk about the rest later"
The sound gradually drifted away, and Bailizhi subconsciously wanted to chase in the direction where the sound disappeared, but as soon as he took a step, he only felt that his brain was spinning for a while, and the picture in front of him was also distorted.
I don't know how long later, a strange man's voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"Hey, hey, wake up, it's here!"
The sound forced Bailizhi to break away from the dream.
What fell into view again, there are no antique and gorgeous wooden bridges, and some are just extravagant and brilliant halls, as well as two strange men and women.
The young man was dressed in a white robe, his white hair hung down his shoulders, and although he was very young, he could give people the feeling of fairy bones like a seeker who had lived for more than a hundred years.
Compared with the fairy-like young man, the short and eccentric little girl next to her seemed much more normal.
The white and bright long hair was the little girl on the top of the head of the two balls, staring at Bailizhi with smart eyes, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
The girl held a dry wooden stick found from nowhere, completely ignoring Bai Lizhi's feelings, poked Bai Lizhi's cheek hard, and said a little happily
"Shang Huayin, can I taste it first? Although he doesn't look very tasty......
"Grandma wants to see him, I'll talk about it later"
"Won't you still eat me!"
The man's bland answer made Bai Lizhi's heart suddenly agitated, and he complained sharply.
It's okay not to move, but all parts of the body suddenly seemed to have been trampled by tens of millions of war horses, and the expression of Bai Lizhi in pain was twisted hideously.
However, his complaint was directly ignored by two unknown two.
Bailizhi, who wanted to stand up, only exerted a slight force on his legs, and all parts of his body were like being pierced by a thousand silver needles.
After struggling like this a few times, he still couldn't get up, so he had to give up.
Seeing Bailizhi constantly writhing on the ground, the young man was a little speechless, and glanced at Bailizhi with the eyes of a fool, and said with a stupid voice
"Injured like this and still moving, do you want to be a waste person for the rest of your life?"
This sentence finally calmed down Bai Lizhi, and he noticed that there was hardly a trace of intact skin on his body now.
Ulcers, burns, and in some places even undried pus and blood attached to the wounds, which was terrifying.
Unlike the young man's cold and arrogant attitude, the girl poked Bai Lizhi's wound with a wooden stick with great interest and wondered
"What a strange guy, my body is eroded like this by my own strength, it's the first time I've seen it"
Although the branch was not forced, the skin that had not yet fully healed and the wooden stick opened again the moment it touched it, and the pain was far worse than Bailizhi expected.
Seeing Bai Lizhi's expression distorted, the girl's hand holding the branch couldn't help but work harder, just like a child who has found an interesting plaything.
"Xuanbai, don't stop yet. ”
The hall was so empty that a rather immature female voice suddenly sounded.
Although the voice is very immature, the dignity contained in the words is not something that ordinary people can imitate.
This majesty is like the natural expression of an old man who has lived for a hundred years reprimanding the younger generations of the family.
Hearing a voice that was even more immature than herself, the girl also had a condensed expression, and then immediately withdrew her hand, scratched her head and pretended to admit her mistake and smiled.
And the young man next to the girl was even more respectful and knelt directly on his knees and bowed.
Could it be that she is the 'grandmother' that the young man said he wanted to see him before?
The 'grandmother' who can make such a childlike voice forced Bai Lizhi to raise his eyelids curiously.
As the field of vision moved up, a petite shadow fell into his eyes in front of the throne of the main hall.
Is this grandma?
"Isn't this a young girl?"
The picture of a young girl who looks like she is five or six years old, wearing a silver and white dress, standing in front of the throne of the main hall and looking at all living beings, is full of impact, which makes Bailizhi complain directly without thinking.
However, as soon as the words fell, retribution came.
The invisible strange force pulled Bailizhi and flew upwards quickly, reaching a high point and then falling suddenly.
With a bang, it sounded.
Bai Lizhi only felt that this already embarrassed body was now broken into eight petals.
"I don't know how to count!"
The young girl said indignantly: "Jie Qinghuang, that kid didn't tell you, what kind of attitude should you have towards your elders?"
These words seemed unremarkable, but Bai Lizhi gasped.
The little girl is too rampant, the head of the world is an old monster who has lived for more than 100 years, how old is this girl who dares to call the world Qinghuang 'that kid'.
Thinking so in his heart, Bai Lizhi's face unconsciously leaked a contemptuous expression.
Seeing that the young man under the throne still didn't pay attention to her, the young girl was ready to teach him another lesson.
But this time, the young man of the fairy wind bone took the first step to stop him
"Grandma, he might be ...... if he does it again"
"That's right, grandma, the rotten meat doesn't taste good!"
Although the young man and the girl are excusing Bailizhi, the girl's words obviously regard herself as reserve food.
The young girl's grandmother thought for a moment, although her face was still unhappy, she still withdrew the demonic power that poured out, and said in an arrogant voice
"Of course I do!"
As she spoke, the young girl climbed up to the throne behind her, probably because the throne was too high, and her two little feet could not reach the ground, so she had to swing back and forth on the throne weakly, looking funny and funny.
The young man quietly leaned towards Bailizhi at this time and whispered in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
"Grandma is a demon who has lived for a thousand years, and she must not be rude"
Looking up at the young girl dangling her feet again, the shocked Bai Lizhi's eyes widened at this time than just now, and exclaimed
"Isn't that an old lady?"
"Wait, don't ......"
The young man panicked and tried to stop this fateful speech, but he was still a step too slow.
But before he finished speaking, he saw Bailizhi's figure swish
Thrown into the air by the power of the mystery, his head was inserted into the roof of the main hall, looking at the tiles, and the pieces fell without thinking about it, he knew that this was definitely enough for Baili Zhi to drink a pot.
Seeing that Baili Zhi, who didn't know the severity of the punishment, was punished like this, the young man couldn't help but sigh in his heart
(Grandma hates people talking about her age the most, especially calling him an old lady)
Ignoring Baili Zhi, whose head was inserted into the big ceiling, the young girl turned her eyes and looked at the two people in the hall with satisfaction
"Shang Huayin, Xuanbai, you are tired of going to Zhongzhou overnight, retreat. Especially Xuanbai, there was nothing wrong with carrying Shanghua to Zhongzhou this time, which is very commendable. ”
Saying that, the young girl nodded kindly to Xuanbai, how strange this picture looks to outsiders.
Seeing her grandmother praising herself, the girl instantly folded her waist proudly, and glanced at Shang Huayin beside her defiantly.
Compared to her stupidity, Shang Huayin only kowtowed to the Lord of the Holy Whale above the main hall to thank her.
After thanking him, he turned his head up with a sad face and looked up at the young man whose head was inserted into the roof and his limbs were weak and drooping.
I said silently in my heart.
(I hope the ancestors will bless, next time I see this kid, don't lack arms and legs)
--------------------------------------
A middle-aged man in a plain robe is waving a pen on rice paper at this time, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are all of the finest things.
The pen walks the dragon and snake, and the clouds flow smoothly.
After a while, the man looked in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.
Stretch up the two corners of the rice paper, and confidently show the work to the half-kneeling man in front of him.
The half-kneeling man glanced at the strange painting, and his expression was instantly a little embarrassed.
But he still complimented him
"The artistic conception of the country is transcendent, and these four kings are comparable to heaven and man"
"Fart! I wrote four words! God rewards hard work!"
Chongguo Gonggong directly gave the self-confident work that had just been written to the group, and threw it to the ground angrily, and did not forget to spit on this rotten work.
Seeing that the master was furious, the half-kneeling man suddenly sweated like rain, and wanted to say something to play a round, but he was afraid of stabbing the master's weakness again, so he had to kneel in place silently.
The house is not luxurious, but it is particularly bookish, and I don't know which famous artist carved the root carving on the bookcase.
The root carving dragon and phoenix dance together, lifelike.
At the highest point of the root carving, the inverted incense made of agarwood is about to burn out, Chongguo Gong wanted to light another cluster, but he was swept away by the retainers, and it is worth giving up.
The majestic middle-aged Guogong raised his eyelids and asked
"You can't just come to see me so late to laugh at my bad words. ”
"Subordinates don't dare"
As a 'retainer', how dare he laugh at his master.
Others don't know him, but they know very well that although his master is only a knight and not an official, he has always been in charge of the secret institution of the imperial court that cannot see the light - the net of heaven and earth.
From assassinating the leader of the traitors to arresting the villains who have cultivated to the highest level.
From investigating corrupt officials to purging the dynasty.
The organization of Tianluo and Earth has interfered, and of course they do more than those covert actions that cannot be made public.
There are a few people in the Dacheng Dynasty who are not afraid of being targeted by this special institution.
If you want to put it aside, ordinary people will definitely not think that Chongguo Gong, who can make all the officials in the world frightened, would be so bad at dancing and writing.
It doesn't matter if you're not good at it, you have to show it to others every time you finish writing.
It's just a dish and a show
Chongguo Gong saw that the man was a little frightened by himself, so he waved his hand helplessly
"I guess it's that 'noodle' that has made some kind of moth."
"As Guogong said, the 'face' attacked the Shanggong Academy last night, and the school was burned, and Xu Wennian, the young sacrifice wine, fled to Jiucang with some of the surviving students, not only that, but the demon general Lan Sheng ......"
Speaking of this, the man paused, and this time made the prince frown slightly, and whispered
"It's nothing to go to Jiucang, but Lansheng's kid is defeated?"
"Exactly, Lord Lan Sheng's left arm was injured and is now recuperating in Jiucang."
Lan Shenghui was so seriously injured, Chongguo Gong was also stunned, and then shook his head, how deep is the water of this organization?
With the strength of that organization, it is not impossible to have a master who can defeat the talented Lan Sheng,
"What's the matter?"
After the words fell, seeing that the man was still kneeling on the ground and refused to leave, Chongguo Gong suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart
The half-kneeling man hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind and opened his mouth
"In the face of the wanton massacre of unarmed scholars at that time, the major sects in the rivers and lakes issued the 'Jianghu Killing Order' and vowed to ask the culprit."
As he spoke, he swallowed and said in a somewhat wavering tone
"At that time, the power used by the leader was a yin attribute that ordinary people could not grasp, so now the whole world is grasping the cultivators of the yin attribute power, this is ......"
Boom!
"What did you say?"
Chongguo Gong was rarely furious, and a black mist of black mystery vaguely emerged from behind, but it was fleeting.
This is the first time that a man has seen the bottomless master of Chengfu so out of shape, and he doesn't know what to do, so he can only swallow the words back into his stomach and dare not say more.
After pondering for a moment, Chongguo Gong commanded in an unusually serious voice
"Urge the state chiefs to hurry up and bring that kid back to me. ”
"But ...... adults"
Speaking of this, the man interrupted Chongguo Gong again, and this time even Chongguo Gong couldn't stand this retainer who always interrupted him, and asked in a somewhat complaining tone
"What's the matter? Can't you do this little thing?"
"No, no, no, Guogong, that kid seems to have been taken away by the Hanging Sea Holy Whale"
The late autumn moonlight is very bright tonight.
Chongfu, which is diligently taken care of by subordinates every day, looks very elegant and quiet under the moonlight.
The figure who had entered the study before finally slowly fell out of the room, and as soon as the man left the master's study, a burning question came from his ears.
"What does the master say about Luzhou?"
Needless to say, this man must have been waiting here for a long time, just by looking at his frozen white lips.
He was not a cultivator, and he specially prepared two extra clothes to keep out the cold, but he still couldn't resist the cold wind in late autumn.
It is not surprising that he will wait here for a long time, after all, in the net of heaven and earth, he is responsible for all affairs in the north, south and Guangzhou, and it is reasonable for him to be so anxious.
Under the cold moonlight, the two cadres looked at each other.
I saw that the director of Luzhou, who came out of the prince's study, lowered his voice and said in an extremely serious voice
Guogong said...... As a last resort, snatch people directly from the hands of the Hanging Sea Holy Whale."
"The master just said this, didn't ask me about my sin?"
"Then I'll send someone to serve the Hanging Sea Sacred Whale now!"
Without waiting for the thin Liangguang director to move, the director of Luzhou grabbed him, glared at his colleague who acted without thinking with fierce and extraordinary eyes, and scolded the other party
"You can't wait!"
sighed, it seems that this guy's heart must have been scared out when he was outside, and he didn't hear the master's blame, which immediately made him panic.
If he hadn't relied on his careful thinking to climb to the position of the head of the heaven and earth net, how could he be so brainless.
The director of Luzhou looked up at the bright moon and muttered to himself
"The Nine Firmaments that sit on the 100,000 Great Mountains, the ancient demon veins, the Southern Xinjiang Wu Clan, the Sword Sea, the Noodles, the Lethe River Ghost Domain, and the Hundred Machines of the Abnormal World...... There are too many things to deal with, and the balance that has only been reached by the forces of all parties clamping each other cannot be completely overthrown because of the little bastard who suddenly appeared. ”
