Chapter Seventy-One: The Past Is Like Smoke
A soft white light pierced the darkness in front of him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Su Ji slowly propped up his eyes and found himself lying in a huge clams shell. Warmth poured into his body, making him feel comfortable.
Fox stood beside him, as if he had been waiting for a long time. She couldn't help herself from crying, and her tearful eyes revealed joy that she couldn't hide.
"Did you pick up your life?
Although there was a hint of anger in her tone, there was a smile on her cute face.
"yes. Su Ji patted his chest as he spoke, and said, "Look!
"Hmph, you didn't pick up this life, my father gave it to you!"
Fox raised her head as she said and looked behind Su Ji.
Su Ji followed her gaze and saw Bai Sleeve standing on the other side of the shell, smiling.
"Are you...... Begonia-kun?"
The fox came to Bai Sleeves' side, took his arm affectionately, and said, "This is the second time my father has saved you!"
Su Ji suddenly remembered that when he had just entered the tower, he also came to the rescue with white sleeves, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously:
"Aren't you a loose cultivator who expounds the teachings? How did you become the king of Begonia? What the hell is going on?"
Bai Sleeves smiled slightly, and slowly explained: "After I was imprisoned in the Tower Prison, the three souls and seven spirits gradually died out. When I only had the last remnant of my soul left, I thought my life was coming to an end. Until one day, the eight scattered cultivators were sent to the sixth layer by the Linglong Blood Array, and they were attacked by the demons at the bottom of the tower in an instant, and all of them died. I took the opportunity to take one of the intact bodies and made it to the upper level of the Prison. After gaining the physical body, I was able to use a few methods, and I kept the last wisp of my soul to this day. ”
Su Ji suddenly realized that Bai Sleeve was already a corpse, no wonder he would pour out the water in the human skull that day, because dead people don't need to drink water at all. It's a pity that it seems that even Begonia Jun can't get out of the tower, otherwise he wouldn't still be here.
"I saw everything you did for my daughter before. Haitang Jun looked at Su Ji, and a look of approval flashed in his eyes, "If your mother is under Jiuquan, she should be satisfied if she knows that there is a son like you." ”
"You really know my mother!" Su Ji said excitedly.
"Don't just know. Haitang Jun smiled: "I am your mother's blood contract Jinlan, she is my sister-in-law." ”
"Sister-in-law, so ...... I should call you uncle!" Su Ji made the whole person suddenly perk, and his eyes revealed excitement, "I finally ...... I have loved ones......"
Su Ji's heart was full of warmth, but with a hint of sour excitement. I don't know how many years I haven't felt this way, and the blood in the veins seems to be rushing violently. Before I knew it, my eyes were already moist.
Fox looked at him happily, and her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked even more moving in the soft light.
Su Ji suddenly turned his head to look at the fox and said with a smile: "Then isn't she really my ......?"
"Mistaken! Mistaken!" Fox suddenly frowned, and said coquettishly: "How could I be the sister of this stinky drunkard!
"Of course you can't be mistaken. It seems that the marriage of the two of you to Jinlan is the will of heaven in the dark. Haitang-kun's smile gradually faded, and then a melancholy look flashed across his face, and he said, "However, the tacit understanding between the two of you is insufficient." If you want to understand the mysteries of the Blue Nightmare, you need to have the same mind, as if you were one. ”
"Heart-to-heart?" Su Ji glanced at the fox and said, "I don't want others to know what I think." ”
Fox also turned her face away and said, "I'm not interested in the idea of a stinky drunkard. ”
Haitang-kun shook his head and said, "It's not that you know each other's thoughts all the time, but when necessary." In a dangerous moment, such as the one just now, you should not use your mouth and ears, but you should communicate with your heart. Once upon a time, I was like this with the Red Branch. ”
Su Ji lowered his head and pondered for a while, and asked, "My mother has a blood contract with you." So she was a monk too, but why did I never see her use a spell in her lifetime? If she really has a magical skill, how can she be reduced to being tortured to death by a dog officer?"
Su Ji said, and couldn't help but clench his fists angrily.
At this time, he found that Haitang-kun's face was getting more and more pale, giving people a feeling that the oil was running out.
Haitang Jun's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice:
"Your mother was the chief friar. She failed in a crossing, and lost contact with me. I searched for her for a long time, and when I found her, I found that she had completely lost her cultivation, and she was no different from a mortal. I learned through inquiries that she was rescued by an official surnamed Su Gou. At that time, she was already pregnant, and in order to raise you, she had to be forced to obey. When I learned that she was occupied by someone surnamed Su, I immediately wanted to kill the dog official. But your mother's surname Su has a life-saving grace for her, and she resolutely does not allow me to do it. In a fit of rage, I cast a curse on the dog official surnamed Su, so that none of his descendants will live to be seventeen years old......"
When Su Ji heard this, he suddenly realized. It is no wonder that the barefoot Taoist priest's judgment said, "Lord Su ordered Qingling", it turned out that this Qingling refers to the Qingqiu Fox Spirit, that is, Haitang Jun.
"Then who is my father, and where was my mother when he was suffering?"
Haitang Jun sighed and said, "Your father is the former Great Zhou Taishi, Xi Bo Jifu." He was no longer alive at that time. ”
"Xi Bo Jifu?" The four words passed through Su Ji's whole body like an electric current, making him excited, "It turns out that my father is the Taishi Jifu who defeated the dog Rong and made the Wurong of the Western Regions fearful!"
Su Ji's body gushed out a fresh and strong force, and after years of searching, he finally had an answer. However, the excitement came and went quickly. When he remembered that his parents had left, a trace of pain suddenly appeared in his heart, and he couldn't help but bury his head.
Haitangjun comforted: "Virtuous nephew, about the death of your father, don't be too sad. I may be able to change that. ”
"Dad, are you going to ......" Fox Xi's emotions suddenly became out of control, and she lost her voice and said, "No! I won't let you do this!"
At this time, Su Ji found that Begonia Jun's face was even paler than just now, and he vaguely realized that the "change" that Begonia Jun said was bound to pay a huge price.
Haitang-kun stroked his daughter's hair and said slowly: "Many years ago, I realized a nightmare technique that can go back to the past. However, this kind of nightmare spell requires the soul of the caster, so I have never used it. I think now should be the time. ”
The fox's tears were like pearls with broken threads, and she couldn't stop falling down, shouting:
"Dad, I don't want you to help him...... I don't want you to die!"
Haitang gently stroked her daughter's head, and waited until her crying became softer before she whispered:
"I consumed too much mana just now, and even if I don't do this, I will soon be gone......"
After saying this, Begonia-kun's body gradually became transparent, and his skin turned into red crystals in an instant.
The fox lay on her father's shoulder and wept silently: "No! Even if there is only a wisp of soul left! Even if there is only a moment and a half left! I want my father to live well! Live well by Xiao Xi's side!"
"Xiaoji, you have grown up, and your father has lived long enough. Haitang-kun showed a warm smile again, "I'm really happy to see the two of you today." ”
As he spoke, Begonia-kun's whole body was shrouded in a red light. The whole body was like blood, as if it was burning with a red glow, reflecting the cheeks of Su Ji and Fox Xi.
"Daddy!"
The fox shouted loudly, seeing that the red halo gradually condensed and became smaller, and a red begonia flower was born from the light and slowly fell.
Su Ji's ears heard the ethereal voice of Haitang Jun: "Virtuous nephew, after you arrive at the Qingling Sleep Realm, you will go to Gonggu Tower to find me thirty-six years ago." As long as I take out this begonia, I will believe what you say at that time, and maybe find a way to help you get out of Linglong Tower Prison. ”
The last words gradually faded away, as if they had gone through the vicissitudes of life, so far away......
"Uncle Begonia!"
Su Ji called and stretched out a hand towards the begonia flower.
At the moment when he caught the flower, he suddenly felt that his body was light and fluttering, like a rising white cloud.
This subtle feeling was familiar, and he realized that he had once again entered the Qingling Realm.
