Chapter Eighty-Eight: Snowfall in June

"It seems that we still have to use this thing," Whitebeard Old Dao paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Gu Xu's kid's blood is like a panacea, and it actually helped the Snow Maiden control her instincts all at once.

"And the Snow Maiden seems to have unimaginable willpower because of that kid, and she stubbornly restrained her urge to continue to prey on human souls in battle.

"I have to say, human nature is such a wonderful thing. We have been human beings for so many years, but we still didn't expect that at this critical time, human nature could burst out with such a powerful force."

The storyteller was silent on his lips, but he thought it was true in his heart.

From time to time, things will deviate from the script he wrote, and they will always need to make corrections from time to time.

I only heard a "click", and the hairpin in the white-bearded old man's hand split into two pieces.

This hairpin was taken from Lu Shiyao's body when she committed suicide by jumping off a cliff in Yishan many years ago.

The Sora Sanren crafted it as a key to unleash her instincts.

In this clear June day, the cold wind suddenly howled in Liangzhou City, and heavy snow fell in the sky.

…………

Gu Xu and the Snow Girl hid in the crowd and walked side by side towards the West City Gate of Liangzhou.

As long as you get out of this tall and majestic city gate, you can soon leave the border of the Great Qi Dynasty.

However, on the way, the Snow Maiden suddenly reached out and gently nudged him on the shoulder.

Her movements were very gentle, but she was wrapped in a majestic air current, pushing Gu Xu hundreds of meters away.

Gu Xu's body slammed into the street vendor's trolley, smashing the goods on the cart all over the ground, causing the vendor to scold and scold, and greeted his ancestors in vulgar words.

Gu Xu apologized again and again, took out the silver ticket and stuffed it in the hawker's hand, and barely stopped the hawker's urge to drag him to the yamen to report to the official.

At the same time, he frowned, a little puzzled why the Snow Maiden would suddenly attack him.

Did he just say the wrong thing and make her feel unhappy?

But in the next second, Gu Xu suddenly realized.

He saw that the blue sky was suddenly overcast, and the originally warm air had become bitterly cold. With the roar of the yin wind, the goose-featherlike snow fell from the sky without warning, dyeing the entire Liangzhou City into a murderous silver-white.

He saw the Snow Maiden rising into the air, her veil already torn to pieces by the cold wind, revealing her true face of the moon falling and the swallow jealous warbler.

And the pedestrians closest to her have long since been frozen into ice sculptures indiscriminately, and their souls have been extracted, absorbed by her, and become her food.

The blizzard that came in June caused panic among the people of Liangzhou.

They screamed, shoved, and fled in all directions.

But the speed at which they fled for their lives was obviously not as fast as that of the Snow Maiden.

As they run, they are frozen into still ice sculptures. And the frightened expression was forever fixed on their faces.

"It turns out that the Snow Maiden pushed me away to save me." Seeing this scene, Gu Xu thought silently in his heart.

He was undoubtedly the closest person to the Snow Maiden just now. If Snow Girl doesn't push him away in time when she gets out of control, he will be the first person to be the first person to eat in her belly.

But the question is, why did Snow Girl suddenly lose control again? Could it be because he didn't feed her in the cave?

Just as Gu Xu was puzzled, a voice sounded behind him: "Boy, do you want to think about the proposal I told you at the beginning?"

This voice sounds familiar.

Gu Xu turned his head and saw at a glance the hunchbacked old man who used to guard the warehouse in the Yishui County Exorcism Division and liked to peek at the story during working hours.

The old man patted him on the shoulder and looked at him with a playful look and a smile.

It was like thunder resounding through the sky.

Gu Xu stood in place, his thoughts in a trance for a moment.

At this moment, he remembered that he had escaped from the process, nothing

A lot of things that I have overlooked. Many inexplicable puzzles have also been answered at this moment.

"It turned out to be you, Kongxuansan," he said seriously, taking a deep breath, looking at the hunchbacked old man, "It turns out that you have been hiding behind my back."

The hunchbacked old man smiled and was noncommittal.

"In the vicinity of Jinyang City, the person who caused my mask to be blown off by the wind is you, right?" Gu Xu continued to speak, "In Longzhou City, the person who manipulated that drunk man and knocked my mask into the air is also you, right?"

"Worthy of being my heir," the hunchbacked old man nodded in satisfaction, "so quickly to figure out what is behind these things." It seems that you are really suited to learn the way of cause and effect.

"However, you missed a key point-

"You rushed from Yishui County to Qingzhou Mansion, but were robbed and killed by the Great Qi Imperial Court on the way, and then in a hurry, you chose to flee to Yishan and use the power of the Snow Maiden to deal with the enemy...... It's in my script, too."

Gu Xu's lips pursed slightly, and his gaze was solemn.

At the beginning, when he heard in Yishui County that Chen Jisheng and others were sent to Qingzhou Mansion and were about to be sentenced to death, he was anxious, and changed his cautious style in the past, and did not do too much disguise, nor did he wait for the cooling of the space channel to end, so he controlled the astrolabe and flew straight in the direction of Qingzhou Mansion.

On the way, although he was wearing a mask, he was intercepted by the floating flying boat of Princess Zhaoning and the Great Qi National Teacher.

If he hadn't boldly flew to Yishan and woke up the sleeping Snow Maiden, I am afraid that he would have been arrested by the Great Qi Imperial Court.

There are obviously a lot of coincidences in this whole incident.

But if you consider that there is a Void Mystery Man who is proficient in the way of cause and effect behind it, then everything can be explained.

"What is the purpose of writing this script and laying out this game?" Gu Xu pondered for a moment, glanced at the Snow Maiden standing in the snow, and then looked back at the hunchbacked old man, or rather, the Empty Xuan Sanren, "Do you want to use the hand of the Snow Maiden to sacrifice 100,000 living souls, so as to complete the ceremony of your unsuccessful promotion to the Ghost King?"

"Clever," the hunchbacked old man said with a strange smile, "Last time, it was because of you stinky boy that you disturbed the situation, ruined my big array, and called three saint powerhouses, causing me to fail to be promoted.

"This time, I'll have to keep an eye on you, and I'll never give you another chance to make trouble."

As he spoke, a dark red light suddenly glowed on the snow-covered bluestone pavement of Liangzhou City. Like thick blood, the light quickly flowed and spread in all directions, outlining complex and eerie patterns, enveloping roads, houses, fences, plants, and passers-by who had been turned into ice sculptures.

The entire Liangzhou City has already unconsciously turned into a promotion array of empty Xuansan people.
