Zhuge Qing groaned, then slowly opened his eyes. His dark eyes were filled with confusion, and he half-sat up uncontrollably, sitting cross-legged with his five hearts facing the sky. A faint, heart-pounding fiery red aura emanated from his body.

The aura was strange, completely different from any of the Qimen techniques, and also different from any methods he had displayed before.

Wang Ye's face froze, and he immediately retreated three steps. He made a move and used the Fenghou formation diagram to form a three-meter barrier, covering Zhuge Qing.

Zhuge Qing stared with his empty eyes, as if he was lost in some memories. The fiery red energy lingering around him became stronger and stronger, and the scorching temperature seemed not to affect the body, but directly target the soul!

The Qi was like the tide, appearing quickly and fading away quickly, gradually retracting into Zhuge Qing's body, and finally letting Wang Ye's anxious heart relax.

The latter's eyes gradually regained their spirit, and only then did he truly wake up.

"call……"

Zhuge Qing let out a long breath, only to feel a slight pain in his head. His memory of the various illusions he had experienced before was a little vague, and he could not recover for a while.

“It seemed like I had a very long dream, and in this dream, I found my own path.”

Zhuge Qing lowered his head and talked to himself, then looked at his hands. In that vague memory, he seemed to have let go of everything, feeling more relaxed and free than ever before. His whole body was filled with strength, as if he could do anything. He even touched the Zhuge family's unique skill, which he once regarded as the bottleneck of his life - the Three Flavors True Fire!

But everything seemed illusory. After waking up, he felt it was a little unrealistic, and he couldn't regain the feeling of using the Three Flavors True Fire.

Zhuge Qing lowered his head and looked at his hands. It took him a while to recover. His previous memories came flooding back like a tide. Then, he suddenly heard a low, sinister laugh.

His body stiffened, and his neck was a little stiff as he slowly raised it up. Then he saw Wang Ye, who was clenching his fists.

The latter had a hideous grin on his face, just like a devil from hell!

Chapter 208: Half-sister; Zhang Taichu: To

Seeing the other party like this, Zhuge Qing's body froze, and he immediately smiled bitterly, scratching his head and said, "Master Wang, what I said to you a few days ago was just a joke, don't take it seriously."

Wang Ye walked forward with a wicked smile, casting a long shadow under the moonlight, covering Zhuge Qing's head. "Haha, you're joking, right? You want me to not take it seriously, right? Zhuge Qing, you're really awesome..."

Zhuge Qing swallowed his saliva and said bitterly: "Wang Ye, what do you want to do?"

Wang Ye clenched his fists, twisted his neck until it made a crackling sound, and said with a chuckle: "Master Taichu specifically told me that your father doesn't like you, and when you wake up, I want you to be beaten up."

Zhuge Qing's face froze and he became visibly panicked. Finally, he held his breath and was about to jump up and leave this dangerous place.

But Wang Ye was faster than him. He grabbed his ankle with one hand and threw him to the ground with a spin over his shoulder. Then he raised his legs and stomped on him mercilessly again and again.

"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously..."

"A divine machine has led you into a ravine. You are confused, right? You can't figure it out, right..."

"Your father has spoken, so today I will enforce his will and give you a good beating. Zhuge Qing, you have to take it!"

"..."

As Wang Ye shouted, his legs became invisible kicks, and with a bang, bang, bang, he almost stepped Zhuge Qing into the pit, causing a large cloud of dust to rise from the spot, and Zhuge Qing's faint screams could be heard:

"Don't hit people in the face!"

"Don't step on it down there!"

"You are taking revenge for your personal gain. Where is the real person? Help me..."

The people of Biyou Village and the employees of Nadutong who were not far away were all stunned after seeing Wang Ye's fierce side, but they did not dare to stop him.

Fu Rong's tense face finally relaxed at this moment, and she murmured to herself, "I'm glad you're okay..."

……

at the same time.

Halfway up the mountain, in a cave with a wide open entrance.

But when Mei Jinfeng woke up from her coma with trembling eyelids, the first thing she saw was an old face that kept getting bigger and bigger in front of her eyes, and the other person's pouting lips.

"You bastard, how dare you take advantage of me!"

She shouted angrily and mercilessly slapped Xia Liuqing, sending him flying. Then she jumped up on the stone bed and saw the bustling crowd of onlookers.

After being stunned for two seconds, Wang Zhenqiu immediately took a breath of cold air, rushed forward, and pulled his master down from the wall, "Master, are you okay? Master, please don't hurt yourself~ Woo woo"

Xia Liuqing was helped to stand up, his pale face revealing a hint of joy. He opened his mouth tremblingly, spat out two ounces of blood and a tooth, then reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and said gently to Mei Jinfeng: "Jinfeng, you misunderstood me. I wanted to give you artificial respiration."

The crowd of spectators on the side immediately nodded and testified for the love-brained old man. Some enthusiastic people couldn't help but speak righteously:

"I say, old woman, you attacked your spouse without knowing right from wrong. This is too dark a move."

"They are already quite old, and I thought they were just young people playing around. What if they break their bones?"

"I've heard about this old man's deeds. He climbed over several mountains just to save his wife. What's wrong with him doing artificial respiration or kissing her?"

"Old couple, live well—"

Everyone's words made Mei Jinfeng change his expression. Under the big glasses with thick wine bottles, his eyes showed confusion.

How come when she woke up, she became Xia Liuqing's partner?

Xia Liuqing, who was not far away, immediately changed her expression and waved to everyone, "Shut up, don't say any more."

Mei Jinfeng reacted and a fierce aura burst out from her body. She stared at Xia Liuqing and said, "You old man, you are spreading rumors about me, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she pounced forward with her teeth and claws bared, and directly pinned Xia Liuqing to the ground, cursing and yelling at him as they engaged in close combat, causing the latter to scream in agony.

Wang Zhenqiu, who was standing at the side, looked at this shocking scene, shook his head and said, "What is love in this world? It makes people stay together for life and death."

……

Deep in the cave.

Inside the brightly lit base, Zhang Taichu looked around, the walls made entirely of silver metal, and the machines that looked very sophisticated. He chuckled and said, "It looks a bit sci-fi, but they actually built an experimental base in the mountains."

Under the leadership of Ma Xianhong, they successfully found this place. At this moment, the employees of Nadutong were moving all the equipment out of the cave, preparing to take them back to the company, and taking photos to leave evidence.

The black pipe on the other side nodded solemnly, "Da Zhuang just sent the latest news. In just two days, we have uncovered eleven underground dens of the Yaoxing Society across the country. Most of them are located in the suburbs of major cities, in places with developed transportation, and are disguised as warehouses, companies, etc."

"But apart from the eleven locations, no other hideouts can be found. Or the places are deserted... All clues seem to have been disconnected at the same time. The Yaoxing Society seems to have evaporated from the face of the earth. This is the first time that a special hideout like the one hidden in the deep mountains and forests tonight has been found."

"This Yaoxing Society is usually just a non-governmental organization engaged in news intelligence work. Everything it does is normal. I didn't expect it to happen under the nose of the company..."

Having said this, Clarinet stopped talking and shook his head helplessly.

Zhang Taichu suddenly turned his head, looked at Ma Xianhong who looked inexplicably shocked, and said with a smile: "I'm talking about you kid, why are you looking like this?"

Ma Xianhong swallowed and said, "This cave was where I used to cultivate myself and practice Qi. Later, my sister took it away and I never came back."

“But I didn’t expect that this cave has been changed and turned into this.”

He looked at those extremely sophisticated machines, his face full of excitement.

Zhang Taichu raised his eyebrows. "Didn't you say that you and your sister have a very good relationship and are very close? Why, she won't even bring you into this place?"

Ma Xianhong shook his head in confusion and said firmly: "She never mentioned it, and I have never been there."

Zhang Taichu said with a meaningful "oh" and smiled faintly, "Poor child, you were played around by your half-sister."

"Tsk tsk, he's still counting money after being sold."

Hearing Zhang Taichu's words, Ma Xianhong blushed immediately, but was unable to refute.

After being captured by the other party, he suffered a mental stimulation and was horrified to find that many of his deep-rooted beliefs seemed very vague and rootless when he thought about them carefully.

Qu Tong, the relative whom he regarded as his closest and with whom he could talk about anything, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that he had very few memories of her, and some details could not stand up to scrutiny, as if there was only emotion but the most important foundation of emotion had not been built.

Combining what Zhang Taichu had told him before about the so-called incomplete soul, as well as some of the things he saw with his own eyes at this moment, Ma Xianhong's heart began to waver uncontrollably.

He reached out and touched the bandage on his forehead, feeling the depression underneath.

According to his "sister", that was the result of a "gunshot wound" he had suffered. Now, as he tried hard to recall the past, he could feel a dull pain from the so-called gunshot.

"Sister, are you my family?"

"My real family...where are you?"

Ma Xianhong murmured to himself, his eyes red, and he seemed very excited.

Everyone in the company on the other side was touched by this scene and felt quite emotional.

Feng Baobao, who was standing obediently beside Zhang Chulan, had her eyes flickering and she had rare emotional fluctuations. She looked at Ma Xianhong, who had a sad face and wanted to find his family, and suddenly she thought of herself.

"Family, where are my family?"

Feng Baobao talked to herself, and suddenly grabbed her head with both hands and bent over in pain. Whenever she thought of her family, her head would hurt abnormally.

The two of them squatted on the ground, both feeling miserable about their life experiences.

Zhang Taichu watched all this without saying much. He just turned around and walked towards the corner where Chen Duo was being watched over by Lao Meng.

The latter was bound by a cage condensed by the Golden Light Curse, the true Qi in his body was suppressed, and a white bandage was wrapped around his shoulder. After receiving emergency treatment from Nadutong, he was out of danger.

Seeing Zhang Taichu coming, Chen Duo, who was caressing her beloved dog, raised her head as if she had felt something, revealing a pair of deep green eyes. Without any more emotions on her face, she said coldly, "I lost, kill me."

Lao Meng on the side immediately begged anxiously: "Master, please don't listen to her. Please, please spare her life. She is still young, just a child. Give her a chance."

When the people around heard the noise, they turned their heads, with regret in their eyes. They had already learned about the past and present of this holy child with a Gu body from Lao Meng, and finally some sympathy arose in their hearts.

"I was trapped in a dark cave by the Medicine Fairy Society since I was a child. I was accompanied by poisonous insects every day. Later, I was taken to a dark bunker, where I also could not see the sun. It was such a painful experience to be in such a bondage..."

Wang Zhenqiu walked into the cave and looked at Chen Duo with empty eyes. He felt sad for her. A free and easy-going person like him could not imagine what kind of inhuman treatment the other person had experienced!

But after hearing these words, Chen Duo's pupils suddenly contracted, and he punched Lao Meng hard, but it just hit the golden barrier with a bang.

In the blink of an eye, she became extremely excited and roared, "Beg him? Why should you beg him for me!"

"You deserve to die, you deserve to die just like Lao Liao, you all deserve to die!"

She roared like a completely enraged female leopard, and kept hitting the golden barrier with her fists, and then started banging her head against it, bang bang bang, as if she wanted to smash out all the vitality accumulated in her body and end her own life.

But the barrier condensed by the Golden Light Spell was both hard and soft, absorbing all the power and preventing her from even committing suicide.

Everyone stared in shock, unable to understand why the girl became so emotional when Lao Meng had only pleaded for her.

Lao Meng fell into a brief daze and said bitterly: "Xiao Duo, why did you become like this?"

"I know it's my fault and that of Lao Liao. Maybe we didn't take your feelings into consideration when we were in the bunker before... But don't worry, after today, I will definitely apply to the company and give you the freedom you want most. I will let you live under the blue sky and white clouds like other children, and have a happy life, and..."

Chen Duo hysterically punched Jin Guang with her fists, frightening the puppy Chen Junyan who was lying on her lap. She trembled and said fiercely, "Shut up, shut up!"

"Why? Why do you always like to be so self-righteous! Happiness? I don't need it at all! Shut up!"

Her face was ferocious, her teeth had bitten her lips until they bled, and her eyes were filled with pain and powerlessness. Finally, she collapsed, lowered her head, and hugged the puppy again.

Lao Meng looked at all this and was completely confused. He didn't know what he had said wrong, what Lao Liao had done wrong, and why their kindness made the other party so disgusted.

Zhang Taichu, who had been watching everything, took another step, bypassed Lao Meng, walked in front of Chen Duo, and said condescendingly: "I can give you two choices, two roads to take, are you willing?"

It was just an ordinary sentence, neither light nor heavy, but it made Chen Duo tremble. He suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of red eyes.

Zhang Taichu continued: "There are two roads before you now."

"If you want to die, I will slap you right now. If you want to live, I will naturally find a way to take you to gain unprecedented experiences and find the meaning of life that only applies to you."

"You choose."

As he spoke, a golden sword edge suddenly condensed on the surface of the golden barrier and pressed against the center of Chen Duo's eyebrows. If it had moved forward an inch more, it would have killed her.

Zhang Taichu's sudden words and actions immediately made everyone around him hold their breath. Old Meng was even more terrified, fearing that Chen Duo would directly bump into him and lose his life.

But the turning point came again.

But Chen Duo's originally ferocious face relaxed at this moment, and the look he gave Zhang Taichu was filled with inexplicable emotions. He let the tears slide from the corners of his eyes and wet his clothes.

Yes, she had lived in bondage since childhood and had no concept of so-called human happiness or freedom. She never understood what those were and never thought of pursuing them.

What she wanted was simply the right to choose, but over the years, the only person who had truly given her a choice, apart from Ma Xianhong, was the young Taoist in front of her.

Even Lao Liao had been forcing her, imposing his personal ideas on her and oppressing her in the name of love. They were all forcing her to follow the established path. Only one or two people gave her the right to choose!

"Thank you."

Chen Duo looked at Zhang Taichu absentmindedly and suddenly spoke.

Chapter 209: Refining Gu Gui Yuan Technique, Meeting in the Mountains and Rivers

"Thank you." Chen Duo looked at Zhang Taichu absentmindedly, and suddenly said, "No matter what, thank you."

In fact, she knew in her heart that the only path ahead of her from the beginning to the end was death. It was not just an explanation to Lao Liao, but she had also long been tired of the oppression of this poison.

Since she could no longer return to a normal life, she would end this absurd life. At least before she died, she could get the right to choose what she wanted most. She was already satisfied.

Old Meng at the side did not realize until this moment. All the memories related to Chen Duo from the past to the present rushed into his mind, like a bullet that had been traveling for many years and finally hit him right in the middle of his eyebrows at this moment.
