Chapter 188: The Escape Tower (2)
Xiao Hongyu suddenly said softly: "Grandpa, you still have my granddaughter." Look at 1 mao, 2 lines, 3 Chinese nets" Jiuling Zhenjun patted the back of her hand: "Hmm...... Good boy, grandpa finally didn't hurt you in vain. β
Then he said to Li Yan: "Boy, let me ask you, why did you come to this Xiaoyao Building?"
The old man pinched his fingers and calculated, and said, "If you want to find that little girl, grandpa, I can help." What do you think?"
Li Yan saw that the old man was confident, and he obviously had a lot of magical powers. But he had only known this old man for a moment, how could he immediately entrust such an important matter? Although he had intentions in his heart, he was full of worries.
The old man seemed to be able to read his thoughts, and sneered at him with the hole in the black hole: "It's okay to not believe me, but don't regret it." To tell you the truth, if you continue to stay in this Xiaoyao Building, I am afraid that you will not even be able to leave a whole corpse in the end!"
This was said very seriously, but Li Yan was still silent. He could hear the anxiety in the old man's tone. I'm afraid that he is more anxious than himself at this moment.
Sure enough, after a while, Jiuling Zhenjun stomped his feet and said, "Boy, listen, don't think that 'Linqiong Daoist' will help you." Let me tell you this, you have been caught up in a huge gamble that has a huge stakes at stake for the benefit of many gods. So they are polite to you on the surface, but secretly they have evil intentions and are thinking about how to use you!
I was originally a demon fox who had cultivated for thousands of years, and I was entrusted by your father to tell you fortunes when you were born. I told a few truths, but this mouth revealed the secret of heaven and caused endless disasters.
Those fairies and gods, who are usually upright, suddenly revealed their true colors, and actually tore out my eyeballs alive, and threw me in this building to beg for scraps and live cold......
If it weren't for the child Xiao Hongyu taking care of me, I would have confessed to this old bone a long time ago......" He let out a long sigh, and Xiao Hongyu also wept.
Jiuling Zhenjun continued: "Although I don't know the content of the immortals' gamble, I only know that you are an extremely important link, and there are as many people who want to kill you as the carp crossing the river.
So when you were born, you were taken into human form by someone else, leaving only a pile of living flesh and a heart, and you were about to die in the blink of an eye. But the bitter Guanyin Bodhisattva was moved by your mother's maternal love, supported herself in the mud womb, and exchanged your mother's life for half your life.
But the people who want to kill you won't stop there. The first time they took advantage of the war, but they didn't expect a few kind poor people to save you. The second time was to borrow your father's hand, but I didn't expect you to run away again......
And all kinds of adversities in the future, not only you will suffer, but also the people around you. Am I right?"
Li was stunned when he heard this. He thought that his ups and downs were caused by fate, but it turned out that the so-called "fate" was controlled by others.
He was silent for a long time and asked, "Who are those gods?"
Jiuling Zhenjun said: "Most of them are in places where you can't look up. Of course......" he pointed to the top floor: "Those people above also have a share!"
Li Yan looked at the roof of the tower and clenched his fists loudly.
Jiuling Zhenjun continued: "That 'Linqiong Daoist', whose real name is Qingxuzi, is an eight-sided and exquisite person, and he especially likes to hoard and live strangely.
He knows some spells such as Tianyantong, and he has indeed found a beauty for Emperor Tang Ming. But to say that I can find you that woman named Miyuki Sakura is nonsense. β
"Why?" asked Li Ran.
Jiuling Zhenjun smiled coldly: "Just now, the old man took a hexagram on his sleeve, and it was her whereabouts. This woman named Miyuki Sakuragi no longer exists in the world. β
Li Yan only felt that his head had been hit with a stick, and the sky was spinning, and he could no longer stand unsteadily, and almost fell down the stairs.
Xiao Hongyu hurriedly supported him and said, "Master Li, listen to the ancestor first!"
Jiuling Zhenjun snorted and said, "That's it, what is the manly man panicking about? The algorithm I use is Ziwei Doushu, and there is absolutely no half-point difference." But just because she can't find this person in the world doesn't mean she's dead......"
Li Yan suddenly remembered that Miyuki had traveled to the underworld, so he asked, "Could it be that it is not in the underworld?"
Zhenjun shook his head: "It's not. When I say the world, I mean the six realms. In this heaven and earth, your Meixue girl can be found again. β
The hope that Li Yan had just ignited was extinguished again, and he suddenly felt that all thoughts were lost.
But at this time, the old man said, "A person does not exist in this life, but he does not necessarily do not exist in a previous life. Listen to your description, the woman disappeared into thin air. As far as I know, there is only one possibility for this to happen, and that is if the 'past her' and the 'present her' appear in the same plane, so one of them will be immediately annihilated. β
Li Yan didn't seem to understand it, but he knew that Miyuki was saved, so he asked, "Then how can I save her?"
The old man said in a deep voice: "Go back to the past, bring her from the past back to the present." But......" he said at this point, suddenly stopping his conversation, and laughed. "Old man, I love to be cheap all my life, if I don't get paid, I won't help with this help. β
Li Yan stared at the old man and asked, "In that case, what do you want me to do?"
The Nine Spirits True Monarch is a genuine thousand-year-old fox, and it is like observing people's hearts. From the tone of this question, he could tell that Li Yan was by no means free to command others.
So he smiled, immediately swallowed back his original thoughts, and changed his words: "You don't need to do anything hurtful, just help me escape from this building." β
Li said in his heart: I see that you are lonely, even if you don't say it, I will help you get out of trouble. Although you make this a condition, I can't take advantage of it in vain. He said, "It's natural, but it's a little simple. I also ask the seniors to put forward another condition. β
Jiuling Zhenjun smiled faintly: "Then bring my granddaughter with you." β
Li Yan nodded: "Without further ado, let's go." β
Zhenjun laughed and said, "Silly boy, where are you going?
Li Yan said: "It's okay old man." No one can stop me when I want to go. β
This sentence is an understatement, but there is a strong self-confidence, which shocked the old man.
He nodded and said, "Having said that, but it is precisely because you are careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, even if you have three heads and six arms, you may not be able to defeat those conspiracies and calculations, so we still outwit it."
Listen, this Xiaoyao Building is the magic weapon of Qingxuzi, and it is usually only two inches in size. The maids, slaves, and singing and dancing girls in the building are all kinds of goblins, and they are bound by him with spells and cannot get out.
When he wants to entertain his guests, he only needs to recite a few incantations, and the building will become a large building. Among them, there are countless rooms, even if all the gods of the heavens have come, they can accommodate it.
From the perspective of mortals with the naked eye, the number of floors of this building is endless, and if no one is guided, you will never be able to climb to the top of the building for a lifetime.
Hum...... But I can't hide it from others, but I can't hide it from me, and I lost my eyes but just concentrated on digging the mystery. It turns out that this building has a total of 7749 floors, and it is laid out according to the trend of eight golden locks, and the appearance is just illusion.
On weekdays, this guy is very strictly guarded, but today's Obon Festival, he will definitely let down his vigilance, this is a God-given opportunity for us to escape. β
Jiuling Zhenjun stood up on crutches: "Without further ado, let's split up now......"
But before he could finish speaking, he threw himself down and sat on the ground, gasping for breath.
Li Ren hurriedly asked, "Old man, what's wrong with you?"
The Nine Spirits True Monarch trembled and said, "I don't care...... Come, listen to me talk about this plan......"
Xiao Hongyu hurriedly stopped him: "Grandpa, are you still capable!
Without waiting for him to speak, Xiao Hongyu said to Li Yan again: "Master Li, my ancestor has not eaten enough for several days, and it is difficult to move, let alone walk out of this huge Xiaoyao Building." β
Jiuling Zhenjun sighed in annoyance: "As the saying goes, people don't always think of their muscles and bones, how could I not understand this truth until this time...... Boy, go get me something to eat, the sooner the better!"
Xiao Hongyu said: "Grandpa, why don't you let me do it, I know what you like to eat." β
Jiuling Zhenjun shook his head: "It's not proper, you are easy to be suspected." This kid has a special identity, and only he can come and go freely. β
He turned to Li Yan again: "Listen, don't go back to the room, go directly to the back kitchen, and bring it when you see something, those subordinates don't dare to ask you." β
Li Yan nodded and said, "Okay." You two wait here first, and I'll go back. "Let's go straight to the back kitchen.
Each floor of the Xiaoyao Building is equipped with a kitchen, not counting the masters, there are dozens of cooks who cut vegetables. The tinkling sound of pots and pans came and went, and Li Yan listened very kindly.
He looked around and saw that all the people who were busy were "rabbit slaves".
When these rabbits found out that Li Yan was coming, they didn't dare to look up, as if they were afraid of getting into some trouble.
It just so happened that Li Yan didn't want to pay attention to them, and walked straight inside to see if there were any finished dishes. But look around, I don't know what's going on, but there are only vegetarian dishes at this time, and there is no one with oil stars.
Li Yan shook his head secretly, thinking that the Nine Spirits True Monarch was originally a fox, and his face turned green with hunger. If you get him some vegetarian food, I'm afraid I'll faint on the spot.
So he asked the rabbits, "Do you have meat dishes here?"
The rabbits stood up with their ears up, apparently hearing, but none of them made a sound.
Li Yan suddenly realized that the atmosphere was wrong, and it turned out that dozens of rabbit slaves came outside, blocking the kitchen. They held rolling pins, spatulas and other things in their hands, and looked at Li Yan with fierce eyes.
The word "tiger eye" may not be accurate, and "rabbit eye" is more vivid. Because they don't really look intimidating, but a little cute.
Li Yan couldn't help but want to laugh. But seeing the serious expressions of the rabbits, he forced back his smile and asked, "What do you want to do?"
There was a gap in the ears of the rabbit at the head, and he stared at the round eyes and said, "You should be the one who wants to answer the question, right?
Li Yan said: "I'm just hungry and want to find some meat dishes to eat." I'm free to move around in this buildingβit's your master's order. β
A rabbit next to the Bunny Rabbit has a fat body and a scar on his face, which looks like a rabbit bully. He lowered his voice and said, "Big brother, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." I think it's safest to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"
The Rabbit shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no! We are not cruel and easy to kill, and this man has not committed any mistakes, so why should we 'eradicate' him?" I think ...... I think it's better to tie him up!"
The rabbits looked at each other, and no one answered.
The rabbit bully said: "Big brother, if this person hinders our escape plan, the gains outweigh the losses!"
Li Yan's heart moved: Could it be that these rabbits also have a plan to escape?
At this time, the Eared Rabbit sighed and said, "That's not going to work. If you don't want to do it, let me tie him up." β
After that, he took out a bundle of rope from his arms, and walked to Li Yan vigilantly: "You...... We have more than 100 rabbits, and you are by no means an opponent, do you understand?"
Li Zhanzheng wanted to find out their secrets, so he pretended to be timid and begged for mercy: "Uncle Rabbit, I'm just a little cripple! As long as you don't kill me, we can talk about anything!"
The Earless Rabbit was actually extremely nervous, and he was relieved to hear him say this, and said kindly: "Don't worry, we will definitely not kill you." As long as you sit honestly, it won't be long before someone comes to your rescue. β
After that, he tied one of Li Yan's hands to the stove.
He had no experience in knotting ropes, which were so loose and loose that they could be untied with a few blows. Li Yan secretly laughed at the stupidity of the rabbits, and pretended to lean aside.
I only heard my ears open-eared and said: "Brothers, we have been enslaved by the owner of the building for too long! I have forgotten what the grass in the mountains looks like and what the flowers look like! Originally, I thought that we would continue like this in the dark, but today I accidentally discovered a secret of this Xiaoyao Building!"
The rabbits' ears were pricked up, and they all asked, "What secret?"
He said: "Today's Obon Festival, the underground cave is open, and a hundred ghosts walk at night." But I don't know if this Qingxuzi did it on purpose, but he put Xiaoyaolou on a place called Xiaoyaopit. There are thousands of ghosts in that pit, it was supposed to be a day of letting go of the wind, but they were crushed by a building, can they not be angry?"
The rabbits shook their heads in unison and said, "No." Before Li Chuan came to Baihe Mountain, he heard about this legend, and thought that this rabbit had also done his homework.
My plan is to make a hole in the downstairs and let those ghosts make a fuss in the building, and then we will wait for the opportunity to escape, how about it?"
His eyes lit up, but only five or six rabbits nodded, and the rest of the rabbits were silent.
He wondered, "Why don't you speak?"
An old rabbit said, "We thought we could escape without any risk, so we agreed to give it a try, but we didn't expect to deal with ghosts or something." If you are caught by the guards, you are afraid that you will die even worse...... I'm not going anyway!"
As soon as these words came out, a dozen or so rabbits immediately nodded yes.
You don't want to look at the field, the spring under the moon, don't you want to sing in the wind? Have you forgotten what it feels like to be free?"
Unexpectedly, a few rabbits born in the Xiaoyao Building in the rabbit group scolded viciously: "What is freedom?
