(36) Dazed

After Jiugong came out of the demon king's palace, he felt very lost in his heart. It is said that Shi'er is in a particularly bad mood at this time, and he should be by his side. However, who can understand himself? Who can understand my current mood and heartache? Alas! In any case, the little woman that Shi'er has been looking for will still appear in his dreams from time to time, so that Shi'er can see him in his sleep, but what about me? My Hui Niang and I have been separated for a thousand years! In the past thousand years, I have tried my best to find all over the world, and even in the underworld, I can't find her, and she seems to have evaporated, and there is no news, so I have no direction to find her! can only talk about lovesickness to her stone statue every day. I chose this path, and no one can understand that it is normal. I don't have any reason to blame anyone.

"Xiao Yu'er, what are you doing?" When Jiu Cheng was thinking about it, the question of the eighteen-armed ancestor came from above.

"Eighteen grandfathers, why are you here?" asked Jiu Gong with some surprise.

"I'm idle, I'm out for a walk. I want to go and see my little Shi'er, this kid, he hasn't paid attention to me for a long time, and he won't come to play with me! I think he must be busy again, so I'll go and see him! No, I saw you from afar, so I came over to say hello!" Said mildly to Jiugong.

"It's so good to have met you!Yu'er is having something to figure out!" Jiu Gong suddenly remembered the situation of that girl, so he wanted to ask the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor.

"Xiao Yu'er, I'm old, what else can help you?"

"Grandpa Eighteen, do you remember the 'Time and Space Knot'?" asked Jiugong slowly.

"Time and space knot?" the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Eighteen Grandpa, do you remember the 'Time and Space Knot'?" Jiu Gong was also surprised when he saw the expression of the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor.

"It's a fetish of my demon realm, of course I'll remember. It's just that the artifact has been—?" said the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor, looked at Jiugong with a heartfelt look, and did not finish the second half of the sentence.

"Eighteen grandpa. The 'Time and Space Knot' came back a few years ago!" "Jiugong understood the meaning of the eighteen-armed ancestor's words, so he said to the ancestor with a smile.

"You're back?Yu'er, you said the 'space-time knot' is back?" When the eighteen-armed ancestor heard this, he suddenly grabbed Jiugong's hand excitedly and said in a tone of disbelief.

"Yes, Grandpa Eighteen, he came back a few years ago. Seeing the excited expression of the Eighteen Ancestors, Jiugong hurriedly supported him with his hand and said with a smile.

"Yu'er. For such a big matter, why don't you inform us of a few old things, and let a few of our old things be happy for you!" said the eighteen-armed ancestor happily patted Jiugong's shoulder.

"Grandpa Eighteen, it's not easy to hype up this matter now, so we didn't talk about it to anyone casually. "Jiugong said to the eighteen-armed ancestor very sincerely.

"Yu'er, is it a shame for you to marry the princess? "When the eighteen-armed ancestor heard the words of the ninth prince, he actually became angry.

"Eighteen grandfathers, you misunderstood Yu'er. "As soon as the Ninth Duke heard the words of the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor, he knew that this Ancestor must have misunderstood. I hurriedly wanted to explain it to him.

"What did I misunderstand? Don't you even like us old people?" The Eighteen-Armed Ancestor was originally hot-tempered, but now that he is angry, his temper is even greater. He doesn't care if Jiugong listens to it or not.

"Grandpa Eighteen, you really misunderstood! Yu'er only said that the 'Time and Space Knot' is back. You said: Huiniang is not back, who is Yu'er going to marry?" Jiugong took advantage of the time when the eighteen-armed ancestor was breathing, and hurriedly explained to the ancestor, lest this ancestor really get angry.

"What? You say it again, am I getting old? My ears are no longer bright? You say, "The 'Time and Space Knot' has come back, but your little daughter-in-law has not returned?" asked the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor with some disbelief.

"Eighteen grandpa. Your ears are fine, you're not old, you heard it right. That's what you say. Jiu Gong did not repeat what he had said, but told the ancestor that he was right.

"What's going on, Yu'er, tell me about it!" the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor asked with a squinting pair of eyes, like a child with a very high curiosity.

"Eighteen grandfathers, in fact, there is nothing to say, this 'time and space knot' was inadvertently picked up a few years ago when Shi'er went to play in the world. Jiugong said very calmly.

"Did Shi'er pick it up? or a few years ago?" the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor was surprised.

"Yes! That's it. Jiugong said very calmly.

"Did Shi'er pick it up, did Shi'er know the 'space-time knot'?" the eighteen-armed ancestor asked again with some surprise.

"Hehe!Eighteen Grandpa, what did you say? How could Shi'er know the 'Time and Space Knot'?" Jiu Gong actually smiled when he heard the question of the Eighteenth Ancestor.

"Oh, I also don't think Shi'er should know the 'space-time knot'. Then how could he be so coincidental? How could so many creatures in the world be so coincidental? This is also 'fate'?" said the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor with some confusion.

"It should be because of 'fate'! Otherwise, how could Shi'er be so obsessed with that girl?" Jiu Gong said gloomily as he followed the words of the eighteen-armed ancestor.

"What girl? Yu'er, I'm talking to you about 'space-time knot'? What are you talking about? Where is another girl coming out?"

"Yes, Grandpa Eighteen, do you remember the little girl who accompanied Shi'er to save the princess's soul last time?" As if coming back to his senses, Jiugong turned his head and asked the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor.

"Yu'er, you really think I'm old? Of course I remember! Didn't she lose it? I also helped Shi'er go to the Zhou Dynasty to find it! Have you forgotten?" As soon as the Eighteen Ancestors said, Jiu Gong thought of it at once, and it was true, he was really busy lately, and the Eighteen-armed Ancestor had helped find her.

"Yes! Look at Yu'er's memory!How did you forget this!" Jiu Gong patted his forehead a little embarrassedly and replied with a smile.

"What's the matter? Yu'er, is it possible, the little girl found it? Where did she find it? Tell me about it. The Eighteen-Armed Ancestor asked with some excitement when he heard this. The childlike fun was set in again.

"Eighteen grandpa, she hasn't found it yet. Jiu Gong replied a little depressed.

"Oh, I haven't found it yet, then I won't go to see Xiao Shi'er, in case I catch up with him and I'm in a bad mood, I can't coax him." Not going. Not going!" said the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor, shaking his head in frustration. The expression was very similar to that of a child who didn't find a toy and was unhappy. As he spoke, he was about to float back.

"Eighteenth grandfather, don't leave yet! Yu'er still hasn't asked you for anything!" Jiugong saw that the eighteen-armed ancestor was about to float, and he hurriedly stopped him.

"Yu'er, do you still have something to look for me? good or bad?" The eighteen-armed ancestor came over with a smile like a child who had been given a piece of candy to eat.

"Eighteenth Grandpa, Yu'er wants to ask you: You should remember everything about the 'Time and Space Knot', right?" Jiugong looked at the ridiculous expression of the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor and said to him very seriously.

"Yu'er, what about being so serious? Okay, I'll be more serious! Ask!" The Eighteen-Armed Ancestor looked at Jiu Gong's serious look. He also said to himself, and made a straight face. That serious look was a little ridiculous in Jiugong's eyes. However, much more respectable.

"Eighteenth grandfather, can you remember that the 'space-time knot' has the effect of constant temperature preservation and anti-corrosion?" Jiugong said to the eighteen-armed ancestor very seriously.

Originally, that 'space-time knot' was a divine object in my demon realm, and it had too many functions. The eighteen-armed ancestor also said seriously.

"Eighteen grandfathers, the little woman can't be found, but. Her physical body has remained in my Demon Realm—" Jiugong's words had just come to this.

"What? That little woman is just gone?" the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor asked anxiously and with some surprise before Jiu Gong could finish speaking.

"Eighteen grandfathers, you are right, that little woman is the soul is gone. Jiugong replied honestly.

"Yu'er. I seem to remember that at that time, she stayed in your stone chamber all the time, right?" The Eighteen-Armed Ancestor's memory is really good, but at that time, he just didn't know who casually mentioned it, and he actually remembered it so clearly.

"Yes. Eighteen grandfathers. Jiugong also replied honestly.

"Then how did she go? Don't you know? Didn't you notice it before?" the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor asked Jiu Gong very cautiously.

"Eighteen grandfathers, Yu'er really doesn't know how she went, and. She also left her own body behind. This is also what Yu'er has always been puzzled about. Jiu Gong said with slightly squinted eyes. To be honest, he really didn't understand the little girl.

"What's the matter, Yu'er, is that little woman's body about to rot? Then hurry up and use the 'space-time knot'!" said the eighteen-armed ancestor anxiously.

"No, it's not, Grandpa Eighteen! Shi'er and I have always given her the 'space-time knot'. But--" Jiugong didn't know what to say for a while.

"But what kind of jade is it? Tell me quickly! You are in a hurry to kill my old devil!" the eighteen-armed man came up again.

"However, this morning, her physical body suddenly radiated, grandpa, what do you say?" After Jiugong finished speaking, he looked at the eighteen-armed ancestor without blinking.

"That must be the little girl's soul back! As soon as the eighteen-armed ancestor heard Jiugong say, he opened his mouth and said, "Reply to the letter and think about it.

"Eighteen grandfathers, do you think so too?" Jiugong was a little excited for a while.

"Yu'er, it's not that I say so, but that 'space-time knot' has this spirituality. Hurry up and let Shi'er look around here, it must be the little woman's soul back. The Eighteen-Armed Ancestor said with great certainty.

"Grandpa Eighteen, we all looked for it, but we didn't!" Jiugong said a little depressed and a little dazed.

"No, shouldn't it be, then there is only one explanation: the physical soul is near. The Eighteen-Armed Ancestor said very competently.

"Eighteenth Grandpa, we have found all the places we can find, is it really not! If you help think about it, what kind of possibility will there be?" Jiugong pinned the last glimmer of hope on the eighteen-armed ancestor.

"That can only be understood as the fact that the little woman's soul may pass by on the edge of my demon realm. The distance is close, so the physical body reacts, and there is no other solution. The Eighteen-Armed Ancestor replied a little heavily.

After separating from the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor, Jiugong's mood became even heavier, and while floating into his stone room, he pondered in his heart about his conversation with the Eighteen-Armed Ancestor today, and suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind: That little woman is the closest person to the 'Time and Space Knot', why hasn't she thought about it all this time? She should know the owner of the 'Time and Space Knot', right? What if she knows? She doesn't know where she is now, how can I inquire?
