The first thing the body felt was the familiar dampness and cold.

Bai Shiying opened her eyes again, the dark cave in front of her and the damp and cold breath echoing in the air, telling her all the time that what happened before seemed to be an unrealistic dream.

She didn't remember how she got out, only the jungle she had entered.

It turns out that the entrance is also the exit.

What happened later, Bai Shiying didn't know, her sight was covered by white and even her hearing was stripped away, and then later, she was standing here.

"No, this is not where I was just ......"

Bai Shiying looked around, his face changed slightly, and finally his gaze fell on the tray made of stalagmites that seemed to be a little different somewhere in the cave, and vaguely, Bai Shiying felt that his soul seemed to be trembling for a short time!

Feet move forward uncontrollably.

Bai Shiying's mind was empty and she didn't think about anything, and when she came back to her senses, the items held in the stalagmites had already come into view.

“……”

Bai Shiying's expression was a little strange.

The anxiety in my heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Why does this thing look familiar?" Bai Shiying's eyebrows were raised, and for a while, she felt the deep evil taste from the 'she' in front of her, as well as her speechlessness at this time.

But see.

A palm-slap-size, flat rectangle with a pitch-black surface stands in the middle of the stone.

This rectangle is particularly chic, black in the front, white in the back, and a small thing with a black body and red eyes hanging on the tail with a thin rope, lazy and half-kowtowed, looking like a cat.

'Drop, face recognition successful——'

The pitch-black screen lit up instantly.

This light was particularly abrupt in the dim cave, and it directly illuminated Bai Shiying's entire face white, revealing that ghost-like expression.

Bai Shiying was taken aback by surprise: "?!" ”

It turns out.

Seen, and felt.

are two different things.

The long black box is now white, and the quiet environment echoes with a light melody, but the place where it appears is not quite right, so it gives people a sense of weirdness.

"Oops, after many years, you finally got it back, I waited so hard for you~!" A familiar and soft voice came from inside the box, and suddenly a woman dressed strangely and boldly appeared, she winked at Bai Shiying playfully, and her tone was stained with ambiguity and resentment that made people blush and beat wildly.

Like what?

It's like a resentful woman who was abandoned at home by an unknown and unnamed man, ruthless, unrighteous, ungrateful, and deserving of death!

"You!" Bai Shiying took half a step back in horror.

Could she not be familiar with this voice?

Isn't this her own voice!!

And this face.

is more mature than her current appearance, there is no trace of immaturity on her body, and the shallow smile at the corner of her mouth is decent but not exaggerated, which seems to be the way she is accustomed to treating people consistently, not deliberately close to enthusiasm, nor indifferent and alienated.

is a woman who can say a normal sentence to make people's faces blush and heartbeats, but she is indifferent.

"That's right, you're right, I'm a big living person, otherwise how could I talk to you? Right~. "The curvature of the corners of the 'Bai Shiying' mouth in the box seems to have widened a few points.

Bai Shiying: "......" clearly didn't ask anything.

This man is asking himself.

"I'm Bai Shiying, to be precise, I'm one of the countless past you, a piece of Bai Shiying pieced together into a complete one." However, without waiting for Bai Shiying to think, the person in the box had already begun to say the next sentence.

She said: "Of course, the fragment I mentioned is just to describe that you must not think about looking for any fragment, it is enough to have the spirit ring fragment to find." ”

"Do you know what it's called?" She made a poking motion, and a smile bloomed on her beautiful face: "It's amazing, isn't it?" I can keep the dialogue between my past self and my future self who has lost everything, and even if I no longer exist, my voice will be placed here intact. ”

"Don't worry, it's not witchcraft, it's not forbidden magic, it's just a ...... Well, how do you explain that? ”

She frowned, she had never thought of this question before.

Suddenly.

There seemed to be someone around her.

"If you can't explain it, don't explain it, don't you even count AC on yourself?"

'Bai Shiying' showed a bright smile: "Remember me in the future, this person who speaks badly is called Ye Junyi, if you see him, don't be polite and cruel to him!" Kill him! ”

There was some confusion in the scene inside.

Specifically, I don't know where to fly out a few flying knives as thin as cicada wings, almost shooting at the vital point of the person in the picture, but the woman who claims to be 'Bai Shiying in the past' in it calmly and elegantly dodges to avoid all sneak attacks.

"Don't bother me with my business, I'm going to say a few more bad things about you."

I vaguely heard a cold sneer from the other side, and then regained his composure.

Bai Shiying looked back again, and she showed a light smile: "Don't care, he is often like this, I'm used to it." ”

This sentence is definitely with ulterior motives!

Bai Shiying didn't say a word from beginning to end, because it was 'she' in this long box who was talking endlessly throughout the whole process.

Gradually.

Bai Shiying somewhat understood why she introduced herself like that when she came over, she said that Bai Shiying in the past, and what remained here was only the past her, and it was difficult to find those memories in Bai Shiying's mind today.

The reason why it is possible to have face-to-face contact with the same person across countless times is because of ......

It?

"I shouldn't talk to you too much now, wait until you get out of here, I'll teach you how to do it first to hear me."

Hear here.

Bai Shiying finally regained her energy a little, her eyes fell on the familiar and somewhat uncomfortable face, watching herself appear inside and listening to her voice coming out of this gadget, which made her always feel strange and a little strange.

The process of how to use it in this box called mobile phone is explained very carefully, as if she is afraid that she will not understand, and she keeps repeating it "intimately......

"I know how to use it, you don't have to say it anymore!" The corners of Bai Shiying's eyes twitched twice.

knew that the other party just left such a ...... There is no way to communicate with a person called an image, but she still can't help it.

Thereupon.

The quiet environment constantly echoes the sound and repeats the operation process.

Bai Shiying: "......"

Picking up the phone, Bai Shiying looked back and forth, and really couldn't understand why such a small thing could have such a magical ability.

Suddenly, her hand inadvertently pressed to a protrusion on the side of the phone, and the volume suddenly became much lower.

Bai Shiying's eyes condensed slightly, and only then did he notice the difference between the two sides.

She tried to touch it again.

No response......

Bai Shiying thought back to it, she seemed to have accidentally pressed it down, so should she use a little harder?

A thought came to her mind, and without hesitation, she pushed a little harder this time.

Only a slight movement was heard.

The volume is lower!

Suddenly, Bai Shiying's eyes were shining as if he had discovered a new world, and he simply continued to press until he couldn't hear any noisy sounds at all.

The world is clean, breathing is much easier, but just a fatal question is starting to pop out of my mind frantically, that is-

If you turn off the sound, you should still be able to hear 'her' in the back, right?

Should...... Right?!

Up in the air.

Bai Shiying picked up her phone and took another look, the person in the picture in her eyes should still be repeating the countless changes that have been said, however, she can no longer hear the voice!

Now Bai Shiying fell silent, after the calf, this thing should not be broken by her, right?

Silently stuffed into your sleeve, you still have to tinker when you have time, at least you can't just give up! Ahem, maybe it's okay to fumble again, she didn't do anything just now......

"Let's go back the way you came." Bai Shiying cleared her throat, and subconsciously looked around before she suddenly reacted that there was no one here, but as long as no one saw the embarrassment, it could not exist.

By the time I got back to the top of the pit, it was already an hour later.

Bai Shiying walked according to his memory and found the place where Ningxia and them lived, but before he could get closer, he suddenly heard voices not far away, including Ningxia's voice.

"What are you going to do?" Ningxia's tone is still not chaotic, but if you listen carefully, you can feel his hidden suppressed stubbornness.

Among the five people opposite Ningxia, the man at the head was holding a portrait in his hand, and he sneered in a low voice: "Don't do anything, I heard that a little ghost you picked up brought back this person not long ago, you'd better take a closer look at whether you have seen it before answering me." ”

There was no movement in Ningxia for a while.

Bai Shiying, who was hiding behind the corner of the house in time, frowned suddenly, and she had already guessed something in her heart.

A moment later.

Heard Ningxia say calmly: "He has left." ”

"Gone?!" The expressions of the five people suddenly changed subtly, and they glanced at each other.

The man at the head disagreed: "Just because he is gone doesn't mean he won't come back, but we know what the kid you picked up and adopted is called...... Star waves? Yes, that's the name, he just walked with the person in the painting, and I won't embarrass you, how about it? ”

Ningxia's lips pursed, and his face was unusually pale.

"Don't grind! Think about it clearly, do you want to continue to protect this kid who has caused you a lot of trouble, or is it important to be a sick man, one person and several people, how to choose and I told you? It's clear at a glance, isn't it! The man said unhurriedly.

Among the four people behind him, one of them also followed and said: "Ningxia, it's not worth it to make yourself and your adopted child suffer for a person of unknown origin." ”

"There are some things we need to ask clearly, we promise not to hurt Xinglang, he will come back with all his beard!"

Ningxia seemed to have a laugh of incomprehension, and he still said lightly in his usual tone: "Xinglang is no longer a child, he will go to find the person you are looking for is completely beyond my expectations, I thought he would give up." ”

"One thing you misunderstood, I don't have much affection for these children I adopted, including Xinglang, if he threatens me, or threatens the entire underground, I will not hesitate to kill him!"

The killing intent is cold, proving that what the speaker said is true.

Bai Shiying suddenly felt that something was more behind her, she subconsciously turned her head to look behind, but she didn't know when there was an extra living person.

Xinglang bowed slightly, and there was nothing unusual on his face.

"One more thing, I have already said before Xinglang left me, I don't care what he wants to do, if he gets into trouble, he is safe, and if his life is in danger, I will not save him."

Ning Xia coughed a few times, and he could hear that he had maintained his current state very far-fetched, but his every word should not be sharp: "You are looking for the wrong person, there are no stars and waves here, and there is no person in the painting you are looking for!" Let's go, as for those children, oh, I have saved them to this day, if you are not careful...... That's how they meant it! ”

said.

All I heard was the sound of the door slamming hard at the end.

Ningxia walked very simply.

And after many inquiries, the five people immediately looked very stunned, they didn't think of what the situation was at all, didn't the people underground say that Ningxia loved these children picked up everywhere and no one wanted?

This is what the underground people said, very loving?!

"This is not easy to do, Ningxia has no weakness of its own, he wouldn't have been poisoned if he hadn't blocked it just now, I thought he cared about those little ghosts, and now it seems that he doesn't seem to care much about it, maybe he just did some final struggles or something like that?"

Touching his chin, thinking and thinking, puzzled, I have never seen such a complicated person.

There is a huge contrast between Ningxia's behavior before and after, but his indifferent attitude is completely true, the kind of person who can be expressionless even if they really kill everyone.

"It turned out to be a hard ......"

A smear crossed the eyes of the leading man: "He said he didn't care, he really didn't care?" Oh, if it's so easy to believe, I'd just stop messing around! ”

"If this is what he asks, then we will give it to him. I'm not just going to kill the little ones, I'm going to kill them in front of him! Go, drag all those imps over, I can't wait to get started. ”

Of the four followers, two left, presumably dragging the kidnapped children over.

Meanwhile.

The two who were hiding in the shadows looked at each other speechlessly.

In the end, it was Xing Lang who opened his mouth first: "I didn't go to him after I came back, I went to you first, but you disappeared, so I came back later, and I thought a lot about it before I mustered up the courage to come over, how do I know that I saw such a scene." ”

Xinglang suddenly laughed at himself: "What a coincidence." ”

"I'm looking for something." Bai Shiying said simply, she glanced at her body and then said to Xing Lang, "What do you think?" ”

Speaking of exactly.

Star Wave is much more normal.

No, it should be said that he was normal from the moment he heard it, and normal to the point that normal people would feel abnormal.

"I can't gamble those children's lives on Ningxia, maybe he has his unspeakable secrets, but I should also do something." Xinglang said contemplatively, he was a little confused: "Do you have any suggestions?" Cough...... That, it has always been Brother Ning who has been leading us, and there has never been a place where I need to use my brain, so I can't turn it around for a while. ”

"It's probably too late for me to turn around, what would you do if it was you?" Xinglang looked at the young man next to him expectantly and confusedly, he also had a deep self-blame in his heart, he was protected too well by Ningxia, but this does not mean that he doesn't need to use his brain, it would be better if he understood it earlier.

It won't be at the end of the day, only to feel overwhelmed.

"If it's me......"

Bai Shiying's eyes glanced away, and she motioned to Xinglang to follow: "Let's go, take you somewhere, maybe you won't be so confused about where to start." ”

Xinglang suddenly cheered up, but soon wondered if Shi Yun had just come underground, how could it be that he took himself to find a place

"Where?"

"I don't know, won't you know when you arrive?"

“…… Yes??? ”

Do you understand?

Do not understand.

There were rows of question marks above Xing Lang's head, especially when Bai Shiying said the three words 'I don't know', he wondered for the first time if he was asking the wrong person, and thinking about the profound and difficult question of whether Shi Yun was reliable or not.

I don't know?!

So where are you going to take him? Try your luck everywhere!

Xing Lang was doubting life, with the last little bit of trust in people, he followed Bai Shiying and looked suspiciously all the way, but he didn't find anything special.

Just when his patience and anxiety had reached a peak.

"Shiyun or we ......"

The words are not finished yet.

Seeing Shi Yun make a small movement, he immediately stopped his voice.

Bai Shiying looked in a certain direction and was very focused, Xinglang was puzzled, and she also learned to follow her line of sight, which was so hard that she was covered in blood and flowed backwards.

But see.

The two people who walked out not far in front were two of the five people who had just left! And that's not the point, the point is that the chains dragged in the hands of these two people circled around the children behind them who were not waist-high, and there were about six children standing in a small long line, and the tender flesh on their wrists was almost red from the chains, and some were scratched blood.

They were not fast, because the heavy chains even wrapped their feet around, and every step was difficult.

A few of the children slowed down when they couldn't walk, and the two of them beat the children with the chains in their hands without mercy, and each splash of blood would cut a deep wound on the children's bodies, and the beaten children had nowhere to hide except for heart-rending cries.

"These beasts!!" Xinglang's eyes suddenly turned red.

He wanted to rush out now.

However, Bai Shiying's hands were in a hurry, and he quickly dragged the person back.

"What are you going for?"

"Save people!"

"Who saves? You? Or do you add me? Who do you think you can beat alone, who are the two of them? Can you see their cultivation and rush over with a hot head like this?! ”

Bai Shiying asked several times fatally.

Suddenly.

Xing Lang, who couldn't help it just now, finally couldn't bear it, he didn't dare to look up again, he was afraid that if he looked at it again, his qi and blood would rush into his brain, and he desperately encouraged him not to worry about it so much.

"You are the only hope for these children now, if you don't want to ruin their hope, it's better to be calm, it's okay to save people, but if you save people like this, you'll put yourself in it." As she spoke, Bai Shiying took out a large handful of rune paper and stuffed it into Xing Lang's hand with a serious and solemn face.

"Give you my secret weapon, this thing works wonders at critical moments!"

Bai Shiying said.

She pointed to the runes written in different colors of runes: "Spiritual power is released, you will always do this, right?" Wait a minute, you don't care about that, grab them and throw them in the face of those two, and leave the rescue to me, and you'll be responsible for delaying it, and then use this one last. ”

Bai Shiying picked up a gray-gold rune, and a silver-white one.

Time slowdown and short-distance teleportation equals the 'It's exciting to run if you can't beat it' package!

"This is ......" Xing Lang's eyes widened, what Bai Shiying said was strange and magical to him.

There is such a thing in the world!

"Don't care how much you have, Xinglang, on!" Bai Shiying raised his hand and pointed at it.

The star wave rushed out in an instant.

'Whew-'

A gust of wind enveloped the mist, and in an instant, it surrounded the two people who were walking on the road.

"What's the situation?!"

The two people who were walking on the road were suddenly shocked, and hurriedly considered that they were all full of vigilance: "This is not the wind, how can there be wind underground, and there is such fog...... There are enemies! ”

As soon as the words fell.

The two were about to tighten the chains in their hands, and at this time they hadn't forgotten the purpose of their coming, but suddenly a tingling pain passed through their minds-

Consciousness, there is a blank space for just a few seconds!

Bai Shiying sent a message to Xinglang: "Don't be stunned, it's now!" ”

Xing Lang, who rushed into the mist, suddenly did not hesitate, and his spiritual power caught that two of them were not far in front of him to the left.

"Drink !!"

The spiritual power was poured into the rune paper, and Xing Lang used all his strength to blow a gust of wind and send it to the two of them, among which Bai Shiying specifically pointed to a few cards that had been strengthened by Xing Lang and placed them in the important part of the front - the face!

This side.

Bai Shiying was not idle, she waved her hand and a black mist slashed towards the chains, only to hear a few clicks, and all the chains fell to the ground.

"Let's go!" Bai Shiying's fingertips glowed with white light.

The white shadow flickered.

With the six children behind him, he disappeared in an instant.

"Boom, boom!!"

The intense fire elemental burned even more vigorously with the help of the wind.

The two of them didn't have time to defend themselves, and by the time they came to their senses, it was too late, and they only had time to see the fierce flames rushing in front of them.

"Ahhhh——!!!h

……

A few minutes later.

Many children who have grown up underground and have never heard the sound of explosions are scared and crying, and the shocked and panicked voices of adults are constantly staggered everywhere.

Only five minutes have passed so far.

However, the essence of the spread from person to person, the more outrageous it is, remains the same, and there are already seven or eight versions of the saying that can be added to each population.

The place where Bai Shiying and Xinglang are staying now is an idle and empty house of a family, and the stone house made of cold stones does not have any warmth, but fortunately, there was more of that kind of golden ore in the mining area before, and now it will come in handy.

"Xinglang, have we been abandoned by Brother Ning?"

This is the only little boy among the six people who speaks, and there is not much sadness on his face, but he is a little lost: "Brother Ning, is it...... Think we're dragging him down, that's why he sold us to the bad guys? ”

"Where did you hear all the nonsense, nothing!" Xing Lang's heart couldn't help but rise irritably.

He used to like to talk about Ningxia the most, at that time he thought that this was the most trustworthy person in his life, there would be no accidents, he would spend every day happily with everyone and Ningxia.

Perhaps he has been ignoring some doubts and problems that have existed for a long time, and he thinks too much about Ningxia's goodness, ignoring that Ningxia itself is not a great good person who likes to help the world.

But Ningxia took him in and took in these six children, which is also a fact.

Xinglang doesn't know what attitude he should take to face the current Ningxia, maybe he can continue to ignore it as before, as if he didn't know anything, but even a child knows that he is abandoned...... Shouldn't he wake up?

Just when Xing Lang couldn't stop thinking about it, he even hoped that Shi Yun would come back soon, so that he could divert his attention with something else.

"But Xinglang, Brother Ning watched us being taken away, he didn't say anything, Xiao Qi asked him if he didn't want us anymore and he nodded yes." The child who spoke became more and more depressed, and finally sighed: "I knew that I should have eaten less, is it because of the six of us...... Oh no, and Xinglang, seven mouths add up to too much, Brother Ning definitely can't afford to raise so many people to do this. ”

"You say, will Brother Ning starve himself to death one day?"

Xinglang's heavy mood couldn't help but be speechless, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he raised his hand to ravage the little guy's already messy hair, and it felt very good: "Don't think about it!" The more you think about it, the more outrageous it becomes, even if everyone starves to death underground, it is impossible for Ningxia to starve to death! ”

Why are you so sure?

It's a long story.

Except for the first batch of people who came down underground, they all knew how to cultivate, but these people, including Ningxia, abided by the unwritten agreement - to treat themselves as ordinary people.

Thereupon.

The first batch of people died, and those who didn't die were dying because they gave up cultivation, and their descendants didn't understand what cultivation was, let alone what aura was, naturally, they hadn't seen spiritual power.

Underground life is boring and easy to fall into despair, if a person is lucky to spend hundreds of years here, then even the best tempered person will be tortured abnormally, so giving up life and going to death like ordinary people can even be said to be a very happy ending.

But Ningxia seems to be an outlier.

He kept his promise, but he didn't let himself grow old over time, which is why he still maintains his youthful appearance, but Xinglang occasionally deliberately calls him an old man.

Xinglang's contact with cultivation was an accident, his physique was a little special because he was always intruded by the swarming aura, since he was a child, he had a high fever and was unconscious from time to time, and finally in order to let him live at least like a normal person, Ningxia made an exception to teach him how to cultivate, in Ningxia's words, it is a natural cultivation good seedling, and it should not be wasted underground.

At that time, Xinglang wondered why Ningxia could be okay without eating or drinking, and later learned that Ningxia was living by aura, and it seemed that cultivators would eventually come to this point, and their lifespans would be even longer.

From that moment on.

Xiao Xinglang has a shallow understanding of Ningxia in his heart - Brother Ning can live for a long, long time, and Brother Ning will not die of hunger!

"Xinglang, can we still go home?" The little boy asked again.

This topic can't get over it.

It's like I didn't get the candy, so I'll come back next time until I get it.

Xinglang did not answer.

"Talk about something else, don't keep asking a question back and forth, it's boring."

The little boy suddenly pouted: "Xinglang, you react even more than us, although Brother Ning doesn't want us anymore, but I still thank him from the bottom of my heart, if I don't have him, I can't know you and everyone, I also plan to accompany Brother Ning to old age in the future, when he is already an old grandfather, I can still support him and take care of his life!" ”

Xinglang's expression became more and more frightened,

He made up for the appearance of Ningxia being supported by people a little, and the old man with a white beard and a cold face would occasionally scare people unexpectedly, and later, the old man already needed to be fed by someone to eat......

Xinglang shivered violently, and goosebumps were about to rise.

No, no, no.

Although people are old, Ningxia will not be old, and he can't imagine that they will come to the picture after swapping characters with Ningxia.

"Thank you, I've got all the themes of nightmares for me tonight." Xinglang is in a trance.

The little boy waved his hand angrily: "You're welcome, I still have it here if you need it!" ”

Xinglang: "...... No! No need!! ”

Dead child!

I don't have a good heart!

Shiyun! That's right, and Shiyun! Why would a person who went to inquire about the news not move for so long, was abducted or lost?!

……

Meanwhile.

Shi Yun, who felt that her ears were hot, pinched her hot ears quietly, and a trace of doubt crossed her eyes, always feeling that someone was talking about her.

At this time, she was sitting on a stone, and the person sitting opposite her was Ningxia, who was so angry that he closed the door a few minutes ago.

Hard gas is a good thing, but it's a pity that it's hard in the wrong place, and Ningxia staged his ruthlessness vividly.

"You want me to leave with the stars?" Bai Shiying didn't understand what Ningxia meant, she hadn't found her way back yet, and there was no need to come back after the things had been taken underground, so it was not surprising that this should be her first and last time.

Ningxia has a gentle gaze.

He nodded and said, "Yes, one more thing, I hope that when you go back, you will treat it as if you have never seen me, even if Xinglang and they ask, don't reveal that you have seen me." ”

"In return, I will open the passage to the earth, those five people who are chasing you, they will never be able to leave here!"

Bai Shiying's heart was shocked.

There was a hint of complexity in his expression.

"Ningxia, you knew Xinglang at that time...... Did you do it on purpose? ”

Bai Shiying is actually not sure.

Otherwise she wouldn't have asked.

Ningxia smiled and was noncommittal.

"The passage can only be opened once, they yearn for the sun and moon on the ground, and the world on the earth, and I have seen that kind of scenery a thousand times and I don't think it's unusual, the underground is quiet and no one disturbs me."

"So, this opportunity — I want to leave it to them, if there's anything I can give them, it's probably the only gift I can give."

The expression on Ningxia's face was very affirmative, and he didn't think that the person in front of him would refuse such an opportunity to fall from the sky.

"Shi Yun, what's your answer?"
