Chapter Twenty-Four: In the Illusion of the Soul
Outside, the moon and the stars were set in the dark brocade cloth, and it remained so, unchanging, as if time had stood still. But now, it has been a day since Bai Junqian and them came to Zhele Ling City.
"What the hell is going on?" Bai Junqian asked.
And Lingxi was lying on the bed behind him at the moment. Shun Hexin stood aside and looked at her worriedly.
"Shun, are you sure that the person you saw was dressed in white and wearing a white mask?"
"Well, it's true. Shun said with great certainty.
It's that person again. Bai Junqian clenched his fists.
After a moment of "......", Bai Junqian got up and came to Lingxi's bedside.
I saw that Lingxi was still frowning, and her forehead was full of sweat, which made Bai Junqian subconsciously stretch out his hand to smooth her brows.
But to no avail. Lingxi still looked very painful, especially when Bai Junqian had tried to use his divine sense to investigate like last time, but unlike last time, he seemed to be completely isolated this time, and all he could see was darkness.
Of course, this also shows that the person who attacked the soul of Lingxi has a high level of cultivation.
"But why did that person do this to Lingxi?!" Bai Junqian was excited at first, then got up and walked to the table in that room, the green tendons in his hand burst out, and he slapped his palm on the table.
In a moment, the table went from crumbling to falling apart, and when both Xin and Shun saw it, they were slightly embarrassed.
"Master, junior sister, has this been forbidden by the technique?" the letter asked.
......Hearing this, Bai Junqian was silent for a moment, and then he replied with a yes word.
"Forbidden. Can be forbidden whether it is to confuse people's hearts and conjure souls...... There is a price to be paid for either one. Shun said in a slightly excited tone.
"It's ......," Bai Junqian lowered his eyes and said.
Although Lingxi was only a recipient of the spell and paid a price for the spread, Bai Junqian was worried that Lingxi would not be able to bear it if he was harassed by the forbidden technique again and again.
"Knock knock. ”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Ethereal Immortal, can I come in?" Outside the door was Shangguan Beiling's voice. Yesterday, he saw Bai Junqian without a mask, and after repeated questioning, he knew Bai Junqian's true identity.
Of course, Bai Junqian has no time to care about things like hiding his identity anymore.
"Shun, go open the door. Bai Junqian said lightly.
"Click. The door was opened, and Shangguan Beiling, who had just walked in, began to look for Lingxi, and then did not leave.
He and her, it may have been love at first sight.
"Haven't you woken up yet?" Shangguan Beiling asked softly.
"Hmm. "Seeing Shangguan Beiling's eyes, I am afraid that he has not rested since he was rejected by the master yesterday.
Are you worried about the spirit as much as they do?
"Last night, I'm really embarrassed, but the woman still let her escape. Shangguan Beiling first made a gesture, and then said.
But he didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said it, Bai Junqian's face became even more ugly.
If the woman hadn't been escaped, she wouldn't have been so helpless now, and she would still be able to ask for news about the man in white.
But now...... Alas, part of the blame should also be attributed to himself.
"Ethereal Immortal, the disciples of my sect and I have already searched the Jiuhua Building, but there is still no clue about the man in white. Shangguan Bei Ling informed.
"They don't know the identity of the man in white?" Bai Junqian was suspicious.
"Yes...... It is said that he was sent from above not long ago, and these low-level personnel do not know the true origin of that person. This is what I coerced and induced, and it seems that it is not a lie. Shangguan Beiling continued.
"What about the woman, she must also have a close relationship with the Jiuhua Building, otherwise she wouldn't be familiar with the man in white. ”
"I've told and questioned them about the appearance of the woman you described, saying that I was a Qingqi person on the second floor for a while. Later, for some unknown reason, he was let go by the old bustard. ”
"I don't know where it came from?"
"Hmm. There is a lot of fish and dragons there, and some people are difficult to take care of themselves, let alone others. ”
With that, the room fell silent again.
Only the pained sounds of the spirits from time to time tugged at their unquiet hearts in the room.
......
Lingxi seems to be unconscious, but like Bai Junqian said, her soul is imprisoned by forbidden arts, so she can't wake up, and she is also immersed in a fantasy world, she herself knows-
It was pitch black all around her, and there was a light source at the end of the staircase in front of her.
It looked like she was dying and glowing, but the moment she stepped on the stairs, the light source became dazzling and radiant.
This made Lingxi hold his breath slightly, and he didn't dare to walk forward.
"Ahh
She thought something was going to happen, but it wasn't, and the staircase just sent her to the light source.
"......" Lingxi didn't take a step, and he couldn't open his eyes at all.
Until she heard something calling out to her from the light source...... She had to get close to the light source, trying to hear it clearly.
However, as soon as she got closer, another huge suction force sucked her body forward.
With an unsteady center of gravity, she fell to the ground and opened her eyes, only to find that she was no longer at the light-covered light source.
It's a top-down passage, and at the end of the passage is still a light source, but it's a very gentle light source.
So Lingxi got up and pressed his right hand against the wall, in order to prevent himself from falling because of the dampness and slippery ground. The touch is not so much attached to the stone wall as it is like touching the tiny vines that climb arbitrarily.
- All she could hear in the dim light was her own breathing, the sound of her heartbeat in a twitching state, and the sound of footsteps.
This made Lingxi's heart even more uneasy. Where I am, what I'm doing, all of them have become very confused.
"I'm going out. Only this thought was forcing her forward. And every time she took a step forward, a wonderful sensation touched her chest.
After a long time, after leaving the passage, stepping on the soft grass, the breeze swept her neck, the scene unfolding in front of her eyes, the white curtain blown by the wind, a small pavilion is located in the mountains and rivers, there are tables and chairs in the small pavilion, and a couch for a rest...... She seemed to have seen it a long time ago, but she couldn't remember it.
"Hong'er, long time no see. ”
The next second, as if she heard someone saying this in her ear, Lingxi couldn't help but hold her breath.
"—"I didn't even have time to think about where the voice came from, and I lost all my strength, bent my knees, and fell like a doll without warning."
