Returning from the abyss

Chapter 698
Xuanyou's first sentence after self-introduction was "I already know what you want to do".

"Is there really such a fortune teller in this world?" Lu Ning asked, "Can you please tell me what we are going to do?"

"Based on the current theory, subduing the demons, capturing the ghost weapon, and stopping Bai Li are what you are doing now. If you look at it far away, it is to solve the disaster and find the source. This matter is no longer a mystery."

"It's basically correct." Lu Ning nodded, "If that's the case, what's the point of making an appointment to meet us here?"

"I am attaching two choices to the letter. Because of my ability, I can't break it. Since you choose to stay, you must be aware of the risks here. I know that the brothers of the White God are in contact with you, although it is not very Pleasure, and cooperation has been reached. Your trip will only be within two days today and tomorrow."

"Of course, do we still have to wait for more people to die? If you are not the one who performed the white ritual, then you should know the essence of this ritual. Since you are a cultivator, you should not use this kind of sorcery again." Lu Ning said.

"It's just that I'm unable to take care of it, and I don't want to take care of it. My ancestors made a deal with Baishen, and even if the time limit is approaching, they definitely don't have the right to interfere with the newly agreed person. As far as Bai Li is concerned, the current person is probably already behind me. superior."

"Above you?"

"The ancestors of our family, it was a helpless act to offer Baili to save Fangyuan. The honor of Baili is not a difficult thing. If you want to steal it, it is not rare. If you hold it sincerely, you can even ask the Baishen for help. The Baili The root is ten days and ten lives, in the old days there was no need to consider the rule of law, but now, the death of ten people must be concealed from the eyes and ears, in other words, the method of killing people is already more clever."

"Wait a minute." Lu Ning noticed a little hidden meaning in Xuanyou's words, "Hold it sincerely? Is there a fake white ceremony?"

"The creation of Baili is the law of mountains and rivers, and the style of Fuze Township. This place has been favored by Baili for decades. If there is one person who intends to continue the beauty of Zaoyuanzhuang and preside over Baili, this is sincere. If you revise the ceremony, tamper with the agreement, and seek life for your own self-interest, it is false."

"Isn't this all killing people?" Yan Zidan shook his head, "Whether it's true or not, it's all killing people. What's the difference?"

"For those who are false, they have to do everything personally, and they have to consider their own life every day. The whole ceremony is conceited. For those who are sincere, they will be blessed by the good luck of Zaoyuan Zhuang, and they will not experience twists and turns on the road to the ceremony. "Xuanyou said.

Lu Ning raised her brows: "Then the people holding the white ceremony here in Zaoyuanzhuang are sincere or fake?"

Xuanyou was silent for a while, and Lu Ning almost understood——

"Both?"

On Dadong Road, Chen Hang found a private room in an Internet cafe to transfer and record the video and audio from last night. It was getting late, and Tang Haiyao also felt a little sore in his eyes, so he volunteered to go out to buy some dinner.

At this time, many restaurants are also open for business, especially the opposite of Internet cafes.Tang Haiyao found a night shop that had just opened and ordered some fried noodles and fried rice. When she turned her head to look for a shop selling drinks, she saw a newsstand.

It is said that it is a newsstand, but in fact, in this era, simply selling newspapers and periodicals will definitely not be able to survive.In addition to newspapers and publications, there are also some phone cards, mobile phone accessories and other things sold here. Of course, there is a freezer selling drinks and ice cream. Generally speaking, it has become a comprehensive stall.Tang Haiyao walked over and glanced at the only few drinks here, then ordered a few bottles, and glanced at the newspaper by the way.

In addition to some official newspapers, newsstands will also buy some miscellaneous small newspapers. In order to survive, of course, this kind of tabloids must try their best to find some eye-catching events, put the headlines at the top of the report, and then Put a seven or eight page advertisement in the middle.

[Gas poisoning in the airtight house!There is no fire at home, but poisoning incidents may still occur! 】

This kind of headline is more "shocking" on the Internet in the era of information bombing. Of course, Tang Haiyao will not be curious just because of a shocking headline.It's just that the newspaper is today's morning newspaper, which means it reports the news that happened yesterday, at least the timeliness should be guaranteed.When she picked up the newspaper and wanted to read it carefully, she found that there was no content, and it said "See page No.15 for details" at the bottom.

However, each copy of this newspaper is wrapped in plastic, and it is impossible to open it without removing the plastic film.

"Miss, do you want to read the newspaper?" The boss smiled mischievously, "This? Oh, "I knew it earlier", but I like to sensationalize the public, and I can say something that will alarm high-ranking officials. If you want to understand the normal For news, read the Gengwu Daily.”

"Is this the local newspaper here?" Tang Haiyao took a bag of drinks.

"Yeah, that's what's going on, but what's the big deal at Zaoyuanzhuang, haha."

"I want one." Tang Haiyao grabbed a newspaper and put it under his arm. After paying the boss, he turned around to pick up the meal.

Returning to the door of the store, Tang Haiyao stopped for a while, and there was another person standing at the door of the store to order, so she was going to wait for a while.Immediately, she noticed the man's attire - on such a winter day, he was wearing a dark brown cotton suit with a bowler hat on his head. He was tall and thin, and the skin on his neck seemed to be getting older from the back.

Today, even office workers seldom dress like this.

Just thinking of this, the guest suddenly turned around, and Tang Haiyao was slightly startled when he saw his face.

This person's face is indeed very old. There are many age spots and pits on the skin, which is loose, which makes the originally kind face collapse.He was wearing a monocle, and his gray beard was neatly groomed. These were nothing, but the only thing that caught Tang Haiyao's attention, and surprised Tang Haiyao the most, were his eyes.

There seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes. When he and Tang Haiyao looked at each other, Tang Haiyao instantly felt that the cold of winter had faded away, and the restless heat was rising around her. Inside a burning building.

He is not human!

This was Tang Haiyao's instant reaction, and when this thought entered her mind, an even more unbearable heat climbed up from her cervical spine and entered her mind.Tang Haiyao's thinking disappeared in an instant, and under such a high fever, the only thing left was the instinct of survival.

She heard the sound of swords chirping.A blurry and scorched figure came from within the field of vision, and the figure raised its palm to cover her field of vision.A child was screaming so loudly that it was tempting to curse.

"You're a little short."

A voice that couldn't distinguish between men, women, and children laughed strangely, as if mocking her incompetence.

The sword pierces the flesh.

A sharp pain surged from the bottom of her heart, and Tang Haiyao opened her mouth to shout, or at least she thought she was shouting.The pain instantly suppressed the blankness of thinking brought about by the blazing heat, allowing her to find a moment of thinking.She felt one of her hands clapping on her chest, was that instinct?Or is the magic weapon given by Song Caiwei really spiritual?Tang Haiyao didn't know, she only knew that she should draw her sword.

The small ornament has turned into a sword hilt that can be held by one hand. She pulled out the hilt from her heart, and brought out the hot blood in her heart—it was boiling like magma, and the blood flew out. The shadow in the fire was captured by this Splattered with hot blood, he let out a scream and began to back away again and again.

Afterwards, Tang Haiyao's thoughts went blank again. When she woke up again, the clerk in front of her was handing her a bag of fried noodles and fried rice.

"Hello, I've been waiting for a long time. Here are three fried noodles and three fried rice you ordered."

"Uh... huh? Okay, thank you." Tang Haiyao was a little dazed. She took the things, turned around and walked towards the Internet cafe, looking around, but the old man in a very distinctive suit was nowhere to be seen on the street.

Should I go back and ask the clerk?
She hesitated for a moment, but returned to the Internet cafe without asking.

"Are you back?" Chen Hang sat on the far side and caught a glimpse of her opening the door.

"How long have I been away?" Tang Haiyao asked.

"Twenty minutes? I can smell fried rice. This one is really fast." Chen Hang patted his stomach, "And drinks? Even better, thanks."

"You're welcome." Tang Haiyao replied casually, and put the things on the table, and the six people divided them just right.But before that, she walked to Song Caiwei's side first.

"Song Daochang, the jewelry you gave me... I seem to have used it."

Song Caiwei looked up at her, frowning slightly.

"Now the calamity of Zaoyuan Village lies in the villains."

"Don't avoid the previous topic! You mean that this white ceremony is not held by one person? Can there be several white ceremony at the same time at the same time?" Lu Ning asked loudly.

Qi Mei muttered in the back: "It seems that I didn't say no."

"So, how many people are there?" Lu Ping frowned, "Bai Li's plan is for himself and for his homeland. He is killing life in exchange for the protection of ghosts. .”

"Yes, so there are not many. There are only two people who want to make Baili their own." Xuanyou replied, "However, these two people must be searched by themselves. My concern is only outside the Baili , don’t cause more disputes, don’t kill more.”

"I'm sorry, but our goals are different. You and Baishen's men get along very well." Lu Ning said.

"However, the brothers of the White God cannot interfere with the Bai Li. If internal and external difficulties are encountered, we will end up in our position, and it is difficult to break the situation. Entrusting outsiders, especially those who have touched our mysteries, is the best policy. If you provide me with a small gift Help everyone to increase their fighting strength, this matter will be done."

"What you want is for the dangerous people from Zaoyuanzhuang to leave, right?" Lu Ning understood that this young master is still a person with Baishen after all, it's just that people and ghosts have different standards of judgment, so they are separated from her. A group of people said.

"Do as much as possible. Where you are now is where my hometown is. Even if there are only broken walls and broken walls, I have to extract the skills of my ancestors from them. And the skills have always asked the heart. If you have this wish, you should be able to extract the skills of the old people thing."

"Sorry, what do you mean, you buried something here, and then you want us to get it out?" Lu Ning felt that listening to Xuanyou's words was even more difficult.

"Only Ms. Li Wenyue and Ms. Yan Zidan are qualified to do this. The two of you are far away from Chaos, and near you are Chaos, and they are not within the number of days. This is the solution."

"I can try!" Yan Zidan said, "If it gives me the ability to deal with those ghosts, I am willing to try!"

"How dangerous is it?" Lu Ning asked calmly.

"If it succeeds, nothing will happen, and if it fails, it will not endanger life."

=
"Been burned."

Song Caiwei took the jewelry and weighed it, then judged something.

"Yes, the old man and I met our eyes, and then my body felt like it was on fire, as if I saw a hallucination, and a scorched black figure reached out to me... I remember that I stabbed the sword into my heart and sprayed The bleeding scared the ghost away, and then the old man disappeared when he woke up."

"Have you asked the clerk yet?" Chen Hang asked.

"No... I hesitated and didn't ask."

"It doesn't make any difference whether you ask or not, it's just for you." Song Caiwei said, "The clerk is sure that all the memories are normal. What you experienced is just an offensive of consciousness. Fortunately, you can still remember that you have this magic weapon."

"By the way, Sister Song, didn't you say that this magic weapon is enough to test our qualifications?" Chen Hang said again, "Is it okay now?"

"It's not that time. And the magic weapon itself has a protective effect. As long as a little aura is not extinguished, it can protect the holder. But little girl, the heart-breaking sword has used your hard work. Although it is only consciously, it can be used It is your hard work and vitality, and you will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable afterwards. The bad news is that your results came out ahead of time, and you are not suitable for the set of ghost weapon arming plans proposed by Li Wenyue. But the good news is that this heart-destroying sword you You can keep it with you until the day it's all over."

"Uh...why?" Tang Haiyao was a little confused.

"The root of driving these weapons is whether you can control yourself to use appropriate power. Heartblood is basically equivalent to the ultimate move of these swords. You instinctively use your heartblood without knowing what it does. , which is a testament to the difficulty of tempering oneself."

"But, but this can be practiced, right?" Zhou Shilan whispered.

"It's not a sport or a craft, nor is it a martial arts thing. Ghost weapon, as long as you don't resist for the first time, it can drain all your life force. Heartbreaker is because I already After refining, you may be weaker these days, if it is still a magic weapon embryo, then it will really refine all your internal organs and blood into the sword. Human life is only one." Song Caiwei said seriously , and explained it tirelessly.

Chen Hang was stunned: "So scary?"

"Do you think you're really playing ghost games? Anyone who dares to play with ghost weapons is either a Taoist priest with profound morals, or a strange person with a firm mind or who has seen a lot of wind and rain. What I haven't figured out until now is that Li Wenyue is just How did the little girl of a college student prevent the ghost weapon in her hand from being a monster at all."

Of course, Song Caiwei may never get an answer to this question.
