[Bottle Evil] Snowy Illusion
Chapter 21 The only contact (1)
The huge blasting sound resounded throughout the Hades Palace, even shaking the ice layer above.
Zhang Haike looked for the reputation, was startled, and said to Zhang Haixing and Fatty: "Let's not freeze up, the patriarch and the others may be in danger, otherwise we wouldn't use explosives and the like."
The fat man snorted, let go and pushed Zhang Haixing away, Zhang Haixing waved his hand and hit her, but was caught by the wrist again by the fat man, and said: "Old woman, I advise you to be more sensible, come with me to meet the little brother, don't be so self-willed."
Just as Zhang Haixing yelled "You—" she was interrupted by Zhang Haike and said, "Go with him, it sounds like he's in the back hall." Looking at the fat man again, she smiled and said, "Wait for the patriarch When I come back, I must pay close attention to the one who is sleeping, even if it is because of a face like mine, I still have a lot of affection for this face."
The sound of the explosion was indeed suspicious. The fat man knew that although Zhang Haike was not a good person, he couldn't do anything to Wu Xie at this time, and he could take Zhang Haixing away. If he couldn't, he would exchange hostages.
The fat man picked up the backpack on the ground, and said: "Don't play tricks with me, if he comes back without an eyebrow, or if he hasn't woken up, then I will trample you down by myself."
After the two left, Zhang Haike sat down next to Wu Xie, sighed softly, took out the bell again, and shook it in Wu Xie's ear, but Wu Xie still showed no sign of waking up.His face was serene, if he was not still panting, Zhang Haike would have worried that he had accidentally killed someone, and the crime would be serious.
This kind of illusion is still difficult to forcibly wake up, and if you want to use coercive means, it's best not to do it yourself, the consequences will be very serious.
Zhang Haike decided to wait for Wu Xie to wake up slowly by himself. After all, there is still a certain time limit for the illusion, so wait a little longer.
Zhang Haike looked at Wu Xie's own hexagonal copper bell, and it was indeed the same one used by the Zhang family. Where Wu Xie got it is not very important, the key is what Wu Xie intends to use it for.
Zhang Haike didn't believe that Wu Xie had already mastered the technique of using copper bells to create illusions. This core technology was only available to a few people in the Zhang family.
If it is not used to create illusions, then it is prepared to open the door, but Wu Xie clearly has a ghost seal, so why does he open the door with a copper bell? Is it two-handed preparation?Zhang Haike didn't understand. After thinking about it, he carefully looked at Wu Xie's ghost seal. It was consistent with the record, but for some reason, Zhang Haike felt something strange.
He stretched out his fingers and groped carefully along the lines on the ghost seal, looking at every detail.After looking back and forth a few times, Zhang Haike smiled, a little helpless and a little joyful.
Time passed in the waiting and silence, and after a while, the footsteps approached, Zhang Haike heard the voice of the fat man, looked up, and was really surprised: the fat man and Zhang Haixing were carrying one person on their backs, and the one on the fat man's back The man was tall, with blood on one leg, but he was still conscious, with a grin at the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be quite happy, it was the black glasses.The one on Zhang Haixing's back was unconscious, bleeding from nose and ears, it was Su Wan.
Zhang Haike walked over to help them put the other two in good condition, and brought medicines and supplies to bandage and stop the bleeding to help with the treatment. Finally, the injured leg of the black glasses was bandaged more properly. Zhang Haixing also gave him antibiotics, although It still hurts, but at this moment, the pain is negligible. He is really in a good mood.The black glasses looked at the fat man and asked, "Where's the dumb and that brat?"
"We don't know. We thought it was in the direction of the explosion just now. It seems that they are not with you either." Zhang Haike said and looked at Fatty again. ..."
Before he finished speaking, two other people with the same appearance finally appeared.Zhang Qiling also walked to the gate of Hades Hall with Li Cu on his back.
There was also blood on Zhang Qiling's shoulder, but it didn't seem to be in the way, and Li Cuo on his back was also full of energy.
Zhang Qiling looked over with a little surprise in his eyes, but then frowned.Zhang Haike subconsciously blocked Wu Xie, but Zhang Qiling had already spotted him.
Zhang Qiling walked towards the crowd a few steps, put down Li Cuo and went to look at Wu Xie.
For the first time in his life after the black glasses catastrophe, Yu Sheng was extremely excited. He patted the fat man on the back of his hand and asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Wu?"
The fat man snorted, and said, "I was tricked by someone."
Zhang Haike laughed awkwardly, and said to Zhang Qiling's back: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." He was still holding a bandage in his hand, and was about to send it to Zhang Qiling to bandage the wound on his shoulder. After thinking about it, he handed it to Zhang Haixing.
Zhang Haixing glanced at his brother, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and looked determined to kill relatives righteously.
Zhang Haike looked at Zhang Qiling, who just happened to cast a look at him, which was so sharp that it made people shudder.
Although I just met a few months ago, I was in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to talk about family matters.In Zhang Haike's memory, the most impressive episode related to Zhang Qiling was too long ago, and the two were still in their teens, the thin and small figure.
But after so many years, Zhang Haike can still see something unchanged in Zhang Qiling's eyes.This kind of eyes is the eyes of the Zhang family, which has the common characteristics of the Zhang family, but it is also the eyes that belong to Zhang Qiling. Their patriarch, who has always existed in history but coexists with the history of the Zhang family, cannot be separated from the Zhang family. people.
However, at this moment, Zhang Haike clearly saw other emotions hidden in this look.If I had to use a metaphor, it was like the threat and warning of a ferocious beast when it defended its territory. There was his pride and dignity in this look, as well as his determination and firmness to protect something, even murderous.
Zhang Haike was given goosebumps, few people could give him such an uncomfortable feeling.
In fact, it's not just Zhang Haike, Zhang Qiling's low air pressure has already made everyone present very uncomfortable, it was the fat man who spoke first, and said, "Brother, if you want me to say, let's find a way to wake up the naive first. After seeing the illusion created by that kid, when he wakes up, let's have a good chat with your family."
"You did it." Zhang Qiling said directly to Zhang Haike, his tone couldn't tell whether it was a statement or a question, "give me the bell."
Zhang Haike was a little surprised, it seemed that Zhang Qiling was going to listen to the fat man's persuasion, so he took out the copper bell from his pocket.The Zhang family is all in the Tiangong at this time, in fact, now is a good time to confirm some things.
Zhang Haike smiled calmly, and handed the bell to Zhang Qiling: "Are you sure you want to wake him up? After he wakes up, he will definitely do everything possible to prevent you from completing what you want to do."
Zhang Qiling didn't answer, as if he was waiting for Zhang Haike to finish speaking.
Zhang Haike continued: "He will be in danger again when he wakes up. This kid has done so many things, and he will never stop at the last step. Patriarch, you should know better than me that letting him continue to sleep is the best way to keep him safe." good idea."
Zhang Haike took a step forward, looking directly at Zhang Qiling: "This kid is very stubborn, he has no choice, but you have, we are all waiting for you, you come with us, then everyone has the possibility to escape unscathed. "
Zhang Haike couldn't figure out why Zhang Qiling cared so much about Wu Xie, Fatty and others. If he was alone, it would be more convenient for him to act.If he really wants to be closed and ultimate like the previous head of the Zhang family, according to the thinking of the Zhang family, he should do everything alone.
But Zhang Qiling didn't. From choosing to go up the mountain with Wu Xie at the beginning, to defending Wu Xie's performance just now, it was completely contrary to his previous expectations. He didn't know if Zhang Qiling harbored distrust of their overseas Zhang family. That's why Wu Xie and the others were chosen.If it is because of distrust, are Wu Xie and others more trustworthy? No matter in terms of experience or force value, it seems that they are more trustworthy.
Unless there is another possibility, that is, Zhang Qiling is using Wu Xie and others, because only Wu Xie has value that the Zhang family cannot replace, Zhang Qiling will insist on this choice.
However, Zhang Haike's confusion lies in the fact that since it is to be used, why does Zhang Qiling go to such great lengths, even after ten years, isn't Wu Xie ten years ago better to be used?
"You belong to the Zhang family." Zhang Haike said, "You can't change this. You, the Zhang family, and us have an impossible connection."
Zhang Haike handed the bell over and said, "The choice is yours."
If Zhang Qiling gave up on waking Wu Xie and joined him with the Zhang family, then the Zhang family's goal would be achieved.If Zhang Qiling insisted on waking Wu Xie up, and continued to complete what he wanted to do with Wu Xie and others, Zhang Haike thought maybe he could follow them to find out, but he didn't expect that he would be curious about the answer.
But Zhang Qiling still didn't pick it up, it seemed that there was a string stretched in the air, waiting for a slight vibration to touch it, and once touched, it would trigger a completely different result.
The black glasses poked the fat man again, and said, "I'm dizzy why you made it so complicated. I want to add more money, as well as medical expenses, mental damage expenses, and condolence expenses for being kept in the dark..."
"I have nothing to do with the Zhang family."
Zhang Qiling's voice interrupted the teasing of the black glasses who were trying to ease the atmosphere.
He walked directly opposite Zhang Haike, took the bell, and stopped in his tracks, as if he wanted to announce something.
Several people held their breath unconsciously for a moment, waiting for Zhang Qiling's reply.
In the silence, Zhang Qiling said calmly: "The connection between me and this world has never been the Zhang family."
Zhang Haike was stunned, he had never expected Zhang Qiling to say that, and he couldn't understand the meaning for a while.The fat man snorted at Zhang Haike, very satisfied with his brother's words.
The black glasses heard the fat man let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "You two buddies, one is more fun than the other."
The fat man also laughed, walked over and patted Zhang Haike on the shoulder, and said, "Give up, come and do something practical for the fat man."
Looking at Zhang Qiling's indifferent but persistent eyes at this moment, Zhang Haike suddenly figured out his previous confusion.
He once based all his speculations and plans on one premise, that is, Zhang Qiling and the Zhang family have the same way of thinking and reason for action.But now he knows that this premise is completely wrong, because Zhang Qiling can also be changed.
The people who changed him were the fat man next to him, the blind man behind him, and even those two little ghosts who stumbled all the way through unknown circumstances but survived to this day.
Of course there is also that person who was evaluated as having no combat value at the beginning, but has changed from a chess piece being used to a chess player of the layout. This person is dreaming a dream that he does not want to wake up.
Those things deeply buried in the bones of the Zhang family, absolute reason, great strength, supreme skill, and superiority over everything, were lost to another thing.Such things are meaningless to the Zhang family, and will only become a burden and a weakness.
However, when such a thing really takes root and sprouts in the heart, its power will be overwhelming until it grows into a towering tree. Every branch and every leaf has a dazzling brilliance, which is impossible to resist.
No one can resist, just like people cannot resist light and air.That kind of thing is an emotion that has always existed among the most ordinary people.
Zhang Haike smiled and said, "I see, you really..." He realized that he couldn't think of a suitable word.And Zhang Qiling obviously didn't intend to listen to what he said, turned around and walked towards Wu Xie.
Zhang Haike followed suit, and said, "Try it, I called for a long time, but he didn't wake up. But if it doesn't work, let's wait for him to wake up by himself. You have many wounded, so you can rest."
Zhang Qiling lowered his head to look at Wu Xie, then at himself, and suddenly took off his coat and the clothes inside and threw it aside.Bare-chested, leaned over to pick up Wu Xie, and walked into the Hades.
The fat man was stunned and shouted: "Fuck, brother, you are not in such a hurry."
The black glasses said with a smile: "Oh no, don't look at evil."
Li Cu choked, and said to the two of them, "Brother Zhang is afraid that the snake blood on his body will affect Boss Wu."
Fatty, Zhang Haike and the others were startled, all looked at Li Cu, and asked, "What snake blood?"
Li Cu said, "We just met a snake..."
Li Cu roughly explained the whole process to several people.Then Zhang Haike's jacket was forced to be stripped off and replaced with Zhang Qiling.The temperature in the ground is not high, even very cold. If Zhang Qiling doesn't wear a shirt all the time, he might be frozen, and the clothes with snake blood should be changed to someone who won't hang out in front of Wu Xie again. , naturally gave it to Zhang Haike, Zhang Haike looked helpless.
Li Cu, who was already in good health, took Zhang Haike's jacket that was absolutely free of snake blood, and sneaked into the Hades. Afraid of disturbing Zhang Qiling's use of the bell to wake Wu Xie, he just handed over the jacket and poked it aside honestly. .
Zhang Qiling speculated that the sound recording effect of the Nether Temple would be better, and the bell's effect of dispelling illusions might be enhanced, so he brought Wu Xie in.But it still didn't work, Zhang Qiling had given up on using the bell at this time, knelt down on one knee beside Wu Xie with a frown, stretched out his hand to feel Wu Xie's pulse, checked Wu Xie's eyes, and then Putting down the bell, he casually put on the clothes Li Cu sent over.
Looking at Zhang Qiling's appearance, Li Cu had a strange feeling. He didn't want the person he had been looking up to in his heart to be like an ordinary person, who was at a loss because of unsolvable problems and gradually lost his divinity. It seems to be getting closer to this person.
Li Cu thought for a while, then tentatively said in a low voice: "Brother Zhang." His tongue still hurt, and when he spoke, he felt a sharp pain.
Hearing the sound, Zhang Qiling turned to him, Li Cu's mind became hot, he actually had nothing to do, but people are always enlightened when they are encouraged, at this time Zhang Qiling looked at him and waited for his suggestion, it was in Li Cu's mind Ten times the speed on the motor.
Li Cu endured the pain on his tongue and said with difficulty: "It hurts, the pain can be relieved."
Thinking that he almost bit off his tongue before waking up in pain, maybe he could hint to Wu Xie and bite his own tongue.
Seeing that Zhang Qiling didn't respond, Li Cu also squatted beside Wu Xie, and softly called out to Wu Xie: "Boss Wu! If you're a man, be tough on yourself, bite your tongue and you'll wake up!"
Zhang Qiling also seemed to think that he could give it a try, looked at Wu Xie's face, and waited for his reaction, but Wu Xie's face was still very relaxed, and it didn't look like he was planning to bite his tongue at all.
Li Cu sighed, thinking that Wu Xie was really inferior to me, afraid of a bird.Thinking about it, he pulled out his small dagger from his waist, handed it to Zhang Qiling, and said: "Brother Zhang, then you should be hard-hearted and hit Boss Wu, he should wake up."
Zhang Qiling looked at the dagger in his hand, clicked his tongue, and threw the dagger to the ground.He raised one hand and pinched Wu Xie's cheeks, Wu Xie's mouth was pinched slightly open, then he lowered his head and moved closer, stuck out the tip of his tongue, and inserted it into Wu Xie's mouth.
He tilted his head slightly, and their lips pressed against each other tightly.
Wu Xie's eyes were right in front of his eyes, and the eyelashes were all distinct. Although those eyes were closed, the eyelashes trembled slightly.And the tip of Zhang Qiling's tongue penetrated deeper and touched Wu Xie's tongue, which was very wet and soft.
Zhang Qiling closed his eyes, and at the same time used his tongue to hook Wu Xie.You can try the method Li Cu said, the blood on the tip of the tongue does have a similar effect, he can bite the tip of his tongue to break the illusion.It's just that Wu Xie is still in the illusion, and his body is not under control, which is actually a bit difficult.
But Zhang Qiling didn't expect that Wu Xie's tongue would suddenly entangle him.He opened his eyes, but Wu Xie's eyes were still closed, and there was no sign of waking up, which meant that Wu Xie was in an illusion and wanted to respond to him.
What is this doing in an illusion.
Zhang Qiling pressed against Wu Xie's lips but couldn't help chuckling, a little helpless, but he also closed his eyes again.
Wu Xie's response was simply eager, she even raised her arms around his neck, lowered his head lower, and urgently responded to his words with her own lips.
This was originally just a way to dispel the illusion, but now it seems to have really turned into a kiss.
"Fuck me!"
The fat man who had just stepped through the door almost tripped over his left foot by his right foot.
In the next few seconds that the fat man was stunned, Wu Xie "intensified", and the hand that was holding Zhang Qiling's head slid all the way down Zhang Qiling's back, and got into the clothes when it reached the hem.
The fat man came back to his senses and cursed with a smile, "Damn it, look at your potential!" Then he carried Li Cu, who was already stupid, out.
Wu Xie obviously didn't know the real situation, but he was really concentrating on it, but the nimble tip of his tongue was not obedient at all, Zhang Qiling caught it several times before he caught it, and finally bit down hard on it.
The faint smell of blood spread, and Wu Xie snorted, all movements stopped at the same time, and he returned to his sleeping state.
Zhang Qiling felt that Wu Xie had stopped, so he opened his eyes to look at him.Then he let go of the tip of his tongue, and he stretched out his hand to touch Wu Xie's face, it was slightly hot, and then he felt the pulse on his neck, which was beating very fast, which was a reaction to wake up.But even he himself became short of breath because of the contact just now, and Wu Xie must be like this too.
"Wu Xie." Zhang Qiling frowned slightly and called out.
After a while, Wu Xie slowly opened his eyes, and saw Zhang Qiling's face close at hand.
Because even in the hallucination, Wu Xie is awake in his mind, knowing that he is in the hallucination, so when he wakes up, the surrounding environment and atmosphere have changed. Wu Xie is not surprised, but there is a little bit of weird regret.
Wu Xie collected himself, his face couldn't help but heat up, everything else was different from hallucinations, except the person in front of him remained the same.
However, compared to the surprise of Zhang Qiling finally returning to his sight, Wu Xie couldn't ignore the current state of the two of them.Zhang Qiling was directly above him, with his legs on both sides of his waist, and one hand was still on his face, and Zhang Qiling's face was so close to his, his bangs seemed to be swept away on his forehead.
Wu Xie swallowed involuntarily, and said to herself that she had just had a spring dream and woke up and saw herself in such an ambiguous posture, which was so fucking exciting.
Wu Xie made a mistake backwards, raised his arms and half sat up, smiled awkwardly at Zhang Qiling, and said, "Brother, you are back."
Zhang Qiling spoke almost at the same time as him, but said, "You're awake."
Wu Xie met Zhang Qiling's indifferent eyes, and immediately moved away, scratched his head, and said, "Zhang Haike, have you seen it, I accidentally fell into the illusion he created with a hexagonal copper bell just now." His eyes moved away But it accidentally landed on Zhang Qiling's clavicle and chest in his open coat, where it was still bright red.
With a "buzz" in Wu Xie's head, he stretched out his hand and pulled the man's coat. The blood stain on his shoulder was even bigger, and he was anxious: "How did you do this? Are you injured?"
Zhang Qiling moved away from Wu Xie, sat aside, and said, "I met a snake and was bitten, and now I'm fine."
Wu Xie didn't believe it, stretched out his hand to pick it up again, but Zhang Qiling didn't stop him. Sure enough, Zhang Qiling's injury on his shoulder extended to his back, and his entire upper body was tightly wrapped in bandages, which showed that the injury was not ordinary.
"Is this still called heavy?" Wu Xie murmured, and his gaze shifted to Zhang Qiling's face. There was a slight scratch on one side of the face, and a piece was broken at the corner of the mouth, which was a little blood red.No matter how dangerous it was in the past, Zhang Qiling had hardly lost his face, but now his face could be said to be in a state of embarrassment, and Wu Xie's heart twitched.After thinking about it, I was surprised, Zhang Qiling was so injured, that boy Li Cu would not die.Then he asked: "Where is Li Cu? Have you found him?"
Zhang Qiling pushed away Wu Xie's hand, put it on again, and zipped up the jacket again, saying: "He's fine, he killed the snake, very brave."
This answer was even more unexpected, the corner of Wu Xie's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "Haha, if you can say that, I'll be impressed by him."
Wu Xie was indeed surprised, but it was more of a kind of comfort mixed with surprise, not the surprise that Li Cuo was still alive, but the thought that the young man should finally get what he wanted.In the beginning, he dragged him into this bureau by himself, and even brought the snow mountain this time because he had some selfish intentions—if he encountered a snake, he might need to read its pheromones, and of course he would still seek Li Cu's opinion.But it is impossible to say that there is no guilt in my heart, and now I am somewhat relieved.
Zhang Qiling looked at Wu Xie's smiling face, but his eyes fell on his still glistening lips. For a moment, he had to admit that he was indeed lost.
Zhang Qiling looked away and said, "What about you, are they just creating illusions for you?"
It’s okay not to mention it, thinking of Zhang Haike, Wu Xie got angry again, snorted, and said, “I don’t know what Zhang Haike thinks, he plans to arrest me to threaten you, what about others? Have you talked about it?”
Zhang Qiling said: "I said it, but I didn't agree."
Wu Xie was taken aback, and said, "You mean..."
Zhang Qiling nodded and said: "They can't do anything if they can't find the mother bell. I hid the mother bell, but I can't give it to them."
Wu Xie couldn't help asking: "Then what are you going to do?"
Zhang Qiling looked at him, grabbed his arm suddenly, and said, "Come with me, we'll get the mother bell, and then finish these things."
This was almost the first time that Zhang Qiling expressed his thoughts so frankly and gave him a promise.
Zhang Qiling didn't say anything when he entered the mountain ten years ago, and he didn't say anything when he met again ten years later. Wu Xie thought that maybe Zhang Qiling had really compromised with himself this time, or that they had a relationship with each other. They all compromised with each other.It was the best he could have hoped for.
Wu Xie's heart was clear, but unexpectedly calm, maybe it should be like this.
Wu Xie wanted to say yes, but he asked naturally, "What about the future?"
If it is really possible to end all of this, end the ultimate guardianship, and end fate, then what about in the future.
There were obvious waves in Zhang Qiling's eyes, he didn't answer for a while, and then he asked: "What did you see in the hallucination, you are not controlled by the copper bell, you are conscious, but you don't want to wake up."
Wu Xie stared at him for a long time, it was really an illusion that he didn't want to wake up from, it was the "later" he could think of.
Wu Xie also squeezed Zhang Qiling's arm with his backhand, and said with a smile: "I'll talk about it later, I'll tell you when I have a chance."
Zhang Qiling hummed inexplicably, stood up, and said, "They are all outside, let's go."
When the two walked outside the main hall, Wu Xie kicked at the back of Zhang Haike who was lowering his head to pack the medicine box, but of course Zhang Haike dodged it.
Zhang Haike turned around and said with a smile, "Are you awake? The patriarch has a solution."
Wu Xie scolded: "Damn it, this matter is endless." That's what he said, but he obviously didn't have the extra energy to deal with it right now. Wu Xie saw the injured leg in black glasses, Su Wan who was still in a coma, and Li Cu, whose clothes were mixed with blood and dirt, knew that they had also experienced danger, and that the road was much more difficult than his own.
"I'll give you a chance to pay off your merits." Wu Xie stared at Zhang Haike and said, "You'd better explain to me what's going on here."
Zhang Haike put down the medicine box, unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip of water, said: "Business cannot be done with righteousness. Since the patriarch and you both plan to continue to take risks, we will not stop us. We will do our own thing." He took out from his bag. I handed over the ghost seal and copper bell I found in Wu Xie, "Return these two things to you, and keep them well."
Wu Xie took it, but he didn't believe that the Zhang family would let it go so easily, and said, "What do you mean doing your own thing? Are you really giving up? Or do you have other plans?"
Zhang Haike said: "Don't be like this, my identity is just a lobbyist, and my task is to win the trust of the patriarch. Since my family assigns this job to me, they have already anticipated possible risks, and they will not hold me accountable." But the same, you are the same, we don't intend to let you know things, you can't ask me from me."
Wu Xie looked at Zhang Haike's face that was the same as his own, and once again thought that this face was disgusting, and said, "Where is the Zhang family, I want to see your heads."
Zhang Haike spread his hands and said: "It's not necessary. Besides, our head is the patriarch, he is with you. For the rest of us, if you come out of the bronze gate alive, you will definitely have a chance to meet in the future. If you die, We are just corpse collectors, so there is no need to see or not."
Wu Xie didn't answer, Zhang Haixing came up from the side and said, "If you're a man, please give me a break, how can you still have the confidence to mess with us?"
Wu Xie smiled and said, "Then please show me the way, how can we get to the Bronze Gate."
Zhang Haike said: "You haven't seen the back of the hall, right? The road is over there. Your fat brother should have seen it just now. This is the Nether Palace, the lower floor, and the upper floor is Yunding Tiangong and Bronze Gate , the place you are going to is behind the bronze gate."
Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling, who neither denied nor questioned.
The fat man on the side said: "That's true."
It seems that suddenly everything is logical, Wu Xie is still a little unbelievable.
Zhang Haike's face was sincere, Zhang Haixing's face was still dark, and the blood color finally returned to the face of the black glasses. Su Wan said something vaguely in a faint. Li Cu looked at him with a gratifying look in his eyes. Fatty and Zhang Qiling As always, that's what he wanted to see the most.
Then Zhang Haike took another step closer to Wu Xie. Wu Xie was a little surprised to see that Zhang Haike stretched out his right hand to him, which turned out to be a gesture to shake hands with him, and said: "The world is unpredictable, you should take care of yourself, I will read it to you." Recite the Buddha's name and pray to God, erase all the previous things."
There was a momentary change in Zhang Haike's eyes. For the first time, Wu Xie saw not only his own shape, but also some of his previous expressions on this face.It's not that Zhang Haike has become that Wu Xie, but this kind of candid attitude.This surprised Wu Xie a little.
Seeing that Wu Xie remained calm, Zhang Haike took the initiative to grab Wu Xie's right hand and shake it.
Wu Xie smiled. This way of making peace was really absurd, but he couldn't refuse, and said, "I'm very enlightened. I'm sure I'll have a lot of good words with your family leader."
Zhang Haike smiled and said, "Maybe I have imitated you for a long time, and even my thinking has assimilated with you."
Regardless of whether this sentence is true or not, and even if it is false, to a certain extent, Wu Xie also took the initiative in dealing with the Zhang family.
Wu Xie and Zhang Haike solemnly shook hands a few times. The two outsiders could hardly tell the difference, like images copied from each other. Although they have completely different experiences, interests and goals, if they achieve the first time, they will probably also is the only one unified.
The injured still need rest and timely medical treatment.Several people decided to go up together first, Zhang Haike promised to provide rescue for Su Wan and others, and those who wanted to go to the Bronze Gate with Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling went up to part ways, and had to wait for a later date.
As they walked together, Wu Xie felt a little lighter in his heart, and thought of Li Cu again.Wu Xie walked up to Li Cu with a grin, put her arms around Li Cu's neck, and said with a smile, "I heard that you boy performed well in front of your male god? I'm very pleased, but you have to make persistent efforts, don't Live up to my careful cultivation."
Li Cu glanced at Wu Xie, but said nothing because his tongue still hurt.
Wu Xie didn't let him go, and continued: "Why don't you speak? You couldn't answer ten sentences without me before?"
Damn, who is one sentence and who is ten sentences!Li Cu cursed secretly, opened his mouth with difficulty, and rolled his tongue out a sentence: "Old paper toe candy, I don't want to tell Li."
"Huh?" Wu Xie was a little puzzled. Thinking of Zhang Qiling saying that they had encountered a snake before, she guessed most of it, "You also fell into an illusion? Bit your tongue?"
Li Cu rolled Wu Xie's eyes and nodded.
Wu Xie only thought it was a strange coincidence, because he also felt pain on the tip of his tongue when he woke up, so he walked to Zhang Qiling's side again and said, "Brother, I found that it seems that the illusion created by the copper bell can be relieved by other methods. "
Hearing this, Zhang Qiling turned to him, and stopped in his footsteps.
Wu Xie was taken aback by his reaction, thinking why the younger brother's eyes are so...serious?After thinking for a while, he said, "There is no basis, I guessed wildly, that kid and I both bit our own tongues, and woke up." Wu Xie patted Zhang Qiling's uninjured shoulder as he spoke, and said in a serious tone , "It doesn't matter how you wake up, don't worry about it."
Zhang Qiling didn't speak, just glanced at him, turned his head and left.
Wu Xie looked at Li Cu, pointed at Zhang Qiling and said to Li Cu: "He doesn't seem to believe my guess at all, it's too embarrassing."
Li Cuo, who witnessed how Wu Xie woke up with his own eyes, also sighed, and said clearly this time: "Boss Wu, you are too naive."
As the few people walked, Zhang Haike slowly told Wu Xie what he wanted to know about the connection between the Ming Palace and the Bronze Gate: "It is written in ancient books that 'the merchant is Shun and the Zuqi, and the Ming is the Tang', but 'the Ming Palace ’ This concept is rarely mentioned, and it is a missing person in the history of mythology.”
"You've read a lot of ancient books, right? Most of the very eye-catching records on them are about the concept of heaven, where people's souls can rest in peace. But related to the underworld, people think of it as a world full of pain and demons."
"In fact, there is a certain misunderstanding. At the beginning, the underworld was the same as heaven, and it was an underground mirror image of heaven. But in ancient times, although the underworld was "suburb sacrifice" in the Shang Dynasty, it split into several similar ones. Personality, such as Qingming, represents the sky; Beiming, representing the northern sea; Xuanming, is the most complex direct line, and has derived many semantics and secondary personalities. But the final result is that "Ming" is lost own subject."
"But it's obviously different here." Zhang Haike took a breath and continued, "This Nether Palace, no matter in terms of scale or architectural style, we can see the significance of its construction. We can imagine that in the Yin and Shang Dynasties Or in a certain era before, there were some people, even a certain civilization, who really regarded Ming as the place they yearned for and the world they respected.”
Wu Xie was noncommittal, and just said: "Your storytelling is still so messy, I'm not interested in listening to it, I just want to know about the bronze door."
Zhang Haike sighed, and said to Zhang Qiling: "Patriarch, look at him, if he doesn't have much information, he will definitely cause trouble if he enters the Bronze Gate."
Zhang Qiling glanced at the two of them and said: "It doesn't matter much, I have a sense of proportion after entering the door."
Black Glasses chuckled, and said to Zhang Haike, "Stop beating around the bush and continuing to lobby. If I were you, I would shut up and save some effort. The head of your family has always been ignorant of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and now it's finally a little Taste preference, unfortunately not your own family."
Zhang Haike stopped in his tracks, and said to the unconscious injury on his back, "If I were you, I would shut up too, no one would want to carry you if I throw you down."
"Don't stop, I won't talk anymore." Black Glasses smiled, "I will remember the grace of saving my life, and I will help you speak next time."
Li Cu was confused by what he heard, and he was also curious, but found that the things here were not what he could understand at all, so he picked up the most direct one and asked: "What does the bronze gate have to do with this Nether Palace?"
Zhang Qiling said: "It's hard to say what the specific relationship is, but what is certain is that the Bronze Gate and the Underworld Palace should have appeared at the same time, and the people who built them at that time tried to make the two connected."
"Patriarch, you really know it too, it seems that I am innocent
Zhang Haike looked for the reputation, was startled, and said to Zhang Haixing and Fatty: "Let's not freeze up, the patriarch and the others may be in danger, otherwise we wouldn't use explosives and the like."
The fat man snorted, let go and pushed Zhang Haixing away, Zhang Haixing waved his hand and hit her, but was caught by the wrist again by the fat man, and said: "Old woman, I advise you to be more sensible, come with me to meet the little brother, don't be so self-willed."
Just as Zhang Haixing yelled "You—" she was interrupted by Zhang Haike and said, "Go with him, it sounds like he's in the back hall." Looking at the fat man again, she smiled and said, "Wait for the patriarch When I come back, I must pay close attention to the one who is sleeping, even if it is because of a face like mine, I still have a lot of affection for this face."
The sound of the explosion was indeed suspicious. The fat man knew that although Zhang Haike was not a good person, he couldn't do anything to Wu Xie at this time, and he could take Zhang Haixing away. If he couldn't, he would exchange hostages.
The fat man picked up the backpack on the ground, and said: "Don't play tricks with me, if he comes back without an eyebrow, or if he hasn't woken up, then I will trample you down by myself."
After the two left, Zhang Haike sat down next to Wu Xie, sighed softly, took out the bell again, and shook it in Wu Xie's ear, but Wu Xie still showed no sign of waking up.His face was serene, if he was not still panting, Zhang Haike would have worried that he had accidentally killed someone, and the crime would be serious.
This kind of illusion is still difficult to forcibly wake up, and if you want to use coercive means, it's best not to do it yourself, the consequences will be very serious.
Zhang Haike decided to wait for Wu Xie to wake up slowly by himself. After all, there is still a certain time limit for the illusion, so wait a little longer.
Zhang Haike looked at Wu Xie's own hexagonal copper bell, and it was indeed the same one used by the Zhang family. Where Wu Xie got it is not very important, the key is what Wu Xie intends to use it for.
Zhang Haike didn't believe that Wu Xie had already mastered the technique of using copper bells to create illusions. This core technology was only available to a few people in the Zhang family.
If it is not used to create illusions, then it is prepared to open the door, but Wu Xie clearly has a ghost seal, so why does he open the door with a copper bell? Is it two-handed preparation?Zhang Haike didn't understand. After thinking about it, he carefully looked at Wu Xie's ghost seal. It was consistent with the record, but for some reason, Zhang Haike felt something strange.
He stretched out his fingers and groped carefully along the lines on the ghost seal, looking at every detail.After looking back and forth a few times, Zhang Haike smiled, a little helpless and a little joyful.
Time passed in the waiting and silence, and after a while, the footsteps approached, Zhang Haike heard the voice of the fat man, looked up, and was really surprised: the fat man and Zhang Haixing were carrying one person on their backs, and the one on the fat man's back The man was tall, with blood on one leg, but he was still conscious, with a grin at the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be quite happy, it was the black glasses.The one on Zhang Haixing's back was unconscious, bleeding from nose and ears, it was Su Wan.
Zhang Haike walked over to help them put the other two in good condition, and brought medicines and supplies to bandage and stop the bleeding to help with the treatment. Finally, the injured leg of the black glasses was bandaged more properly. Zhang Haixing also gave him antibiotics, although It still hurts, but at this moment, the pain is negligible. He is really in a good mood.The black glasses looked at the fat man and asked, "Where's the dumb and that brat?"
"We don't know. We thought it was in the direction of the explosion just now. It seems that they are not with you either." Zhang Haike said and looked at Fatty again. ..."
Before he finished speaking, two other people with the same appearance finally appeared.Zhang Qiling also walked to the gate of Hades Hall with Li Cu on his back.
There was also blood on Zhang Qiling's shoulder, but it didn't seem to be in the way, and Li Cuo on his back was also full of energy.
Zhang Qiling looked over with a little surprise in his eyes, but then frowned.Zhang Haike subconsciously blocked Wu Xie, but Zhang Qiling had already spotted him.
Zhang Qiling walked towards the crowd a few steps, put down Li Cuo and went to look at Wu Xie.
For the first time in his life after the black glasses catastrophe, Yu Sheng was extremely excited. He patted the fat man on the back of his hand and asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Wu?"
The fat man snorted, and said, "I was tricked by someone."
Zhang Haike laughed awkwardly, and said to Zhang Qiling's back: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." He was still holding a bandage in his hand, and was about to send it to Zhang Qiling to bandage the wound on his shoulder. After thinking about it, he handed it to Zhang Haixing.
Zhang Haixing glanced at his brother, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and looked determined to kill relatives righteously.
Zhang Haike looked at Zhang Qiling, who just happened to cast a look at him, which was so sharp that it made people shudder.
Although I just met a few months ago, I was in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to talk about family matters.In Zhang Haike's memory, the most impressive episode related to Zhang Qiling was too long ago, and the two were still in their teens, the thin and small figure.
But after so many years, Zhang Haike can still see something unchanged in Zhang Qiling's eyes.This kind of eyes is the eyes of the Zhang family, which has the common characteristics of the Zhang family, but it is also the eyes that belong to Zhang Qiling. Their patriarch, who has always existed in history but coexists with the history of the Zhang family, cannot be separated from the Zhang family. people.
However, at this moment, Zhang Haike clearly saw other emotions hidden in this look.If I had to use a metaphor, it was like the threat and warning of a ferocious beast when it defended its territory. There was his pride and dignity in this look, as well as his determination and firmness to protect something, even murderous.
Zhang Haike was given goosebumps, few people could give him such an uncomfortable feeling.
In fact, it's not just Zhang Haike, Zhang Qiling's low air pressure has already made everyone present very uncomfortable, it was the fat man who spoke first, and said, "Brother, if you want me to say, let's find a way to wake up the naive first. After seeing the illusion created by that kid, when he wakes up, let's have a good chat with your family."
"You did it." Zhang Qiling said directly to Zhang Haike, his tone couldn't tell whether it was a statement or a question, "give me the bell."
Zhang Haike was a little surprised, it seemed that Zhang Qiling was going to listen to the fat man's persuasion, so he took out the copper bell from his pocket.The Zhang family is all in the Tiangong at this time, in fact, now is a good time to confirm some things.
Zhang Haike smiled calmly, and handed the bell to Zhang Qiling: "Are you sure you want to wake him up? After he wakes up, he will definitely do everything possible to prevent you from completing what you want to do."
Zhang Qiling didn't answer, as if he was waiting for Zhang Haike to finish speaking.
Zhang Haike continued: "He will be in danger again when he wakes up. This kid has done so many things, and he will never stop at the last step. Patriarch, you should know better than me that letting him continue to sleep is the best way to keep him safe." good idea."
Zhang Haike took a step forward, looking directly at Zhang Qiling: "This kid is very stubborn, he has no choice, but you have, we are all waiting for you, you come with us, then everyone has the possibility to escape unscathed. "
Zhang Haike couldn't figure out why Zhang Qiling cared so much about Wu Xie, Fatty and others. If he was alone, it would be more convenient for him to act.If he really wants to be closed and ultimate like the previous head of the Zhang family, according to the thinking of the Zhang family, he should do everything alone.
But Zhang Qiling didn't. From choosing to go up the mountain with Wu Xie at the beginning, to defending Wu Xie's performance just now, it was completely contrary to his previous expectations. He didn't know if Zhang Qiling harbored distrust of their overseas Zhang family. That's why Wu Xie and the others were chosen.If it is because of distrust, are Wu Xie and others more trustworthy? No matter in terms of experience or force value, it seems that they are more trustworthy.
Unless there is another possibility, that is, Zhang Qiling is using Wu Xie and others, because only Wu Xie has value that the Zhang family cannot replace, Zhang Qiling will insist on this choice.
However, Zhang Haike's confusion lies in the fact that since it is to be used, why does Zhang Qiling go to such great lengths, even after ten years, isn't Wu Xie ten years ago better to be used?
"You belong to the Zhang family." Zhang Haike said, "You can't change this. You, the Zhang family, and us have an impossible connection."
Zhang Haike handed the bell over and said, "The choice is yours."
If Zhang Qiling gave up on waking Wu Xie and joined him with the Zhang family, then the Zhang family's goal would be achieved.If Zhang Qiling insisted on waking Wu Xie up, and continued to complete what he wanted to do with Wu Xie and others, Zhang Haike thought maybe he could follow them to find out, but he didn't expect that he would be curious about the answer.
But Zhang Qiling still didn't pick it up, it seemed that there was a string stretched in the air, waiting for a slight vibration to touch it, and once touched, it would trigger a completely different result.
The black glasses poked the fat man again, and said, "I'm dizzy why you made it so complicated. I want to add more money, as well as medical expenses, mental damage expenses, and condolence expenses for being kept in the dark..."
"I have nothing to do with the Zhang family."
Zhang Qiling's voice interrupted the teasing of the black glasses who were trying to ease the atmosphere.
He walked directly opposite Zhang Haike, took the bell, and stopped in his tracks, as if he wanted to announce something.
Several people held their breath unconsciously for a moment, waiting for Zhang Qiling's reply.
In the silence, Zhang Qiling said calmly: "The connection between me and this world has never been the Zhang family."
Zhang Haike was stunned, he had never expected Zhang Qiling to say that, and he couldn't understand the meaning for a while.The fat man snorted at Zhang Haike, very satisfied with his brother's words.
The black glasses heard the fat man let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "You two buddies, one is more fun than the other."
The fat man also laughed, walked over and patted Zhang Haike on the shoulder, and said, "Give up, come and do something practical for the fat man."
Looking at Zhang Qiling's indifferent but persistent eyes at this moment, Zhang Haike suddenly figured out his previous confusion.
He once based all his speculations and plans on one premise, that is, Zhang Qiling and the Zhang family have the same way of thinking and reason for action.But now he knows that this premise is completely wrong, because Zhang Qiling can also be changed.
The people who changed him were the fat man next to him, the blind man behind him, and even those two little ghosts who stumbled all the way through unknown circumstances but survived to this day.
Of course there is also that person who was evaluated as having no combat value at the beginning, but has changed from a chess piece being used to a chess player of the layout. This person is dreaming a dream that he does not want to wake up.
Those things deeply buried in the bones of the Zhang family, absolute reason, great strength, supreme skill, and superiority over everything, were lost to another thing.Such things are meaningless to the Zhang family, and will only become a burden and a weakness.
However, when such a thing really takes root and sprouts in the heart, its power will be overwhelming until it grows into a towering tree. Every branch and every leaf has a dazzling brilliance, which is impossible to resist.
No one can resist, just like people cannot resist light and air.That kind of thing is an emotion that has always existed among the most ordinary people.
Zhang Haike smiled and said, "I see, you really..." He realized that he couldn't think of a suitable word.And Zhang Qiling obviously didn't intend to listen to what he said, turned around and walked towards Wu Xie.
Zhang Haike followed suit, and said, "Try it, I called for a long time, but he didn't wake up. But if it doesn't work, let's wait for him to wake up by himself. You have many wounded, so you can rest."
Zhang Qiling lowered his head to look at Wu Xie, then at himself, and suddenly took off his coat and the clothes inside and threw it aside.Bare-chested, leaned over to pick up Wu Xie, and walked into the Hades.
The fat man was stunned and shouted: "Fuck, brother, you are not in such a hurry."
The black glasses said with a smile: "Oh no, don't look at evil."
Li Cu choked, and said to the two of them, "Brother Zhang is afraid that the snake blood on his body will affect Boss Wu."
Fatty, Zhang Haike and the others were startled, all looked at Li Cu, and asked, "What snake blood?"
Li Cu said, "We just met a snake..."
Li Cu roughly explained the whole process to several people.Then Zhang Haike's jacket was forced to be stripped off and replaced with Zhang Qiling.The temperature in the ground is not high, even very cold. If Zhang Qiling doesn't wear a shirt all the time, he might be frozen, and the clothes with snake blood should be changed to someone who won't hang out in front of Wu Xie again. , naturally gave it to Zhang Haike, Zhang Haike looked helpless.
Li Cu, who was already in good health, took Zhang Haike's jacket that was absolutely free of snake blood, and sneaked into the Hades. Afraid of disturbing Zhang Qiling's use of the bell to wake Wu Xie, he just handed over the jacket and poked it aside honestly. .
Zhang Qiling speculated that the sound recording effect of the Nether Temple would be better, and the bell's effect of dispelling illusions might be enhanced, so he brought Wu Xie in.But it still didn't work, Zhang Qiling had given up on using the bell at this time, knelt down on one knee beside Wu Xie with a frown, stretched out his hand to feel Wu Xie's pulse, checked Wu Xie's eyes, and then Putting down the bell, he casually put on the clothes Li Cu sent over.
Looking at Zhang Qiling's appearance, Li Cu had a strange feeling. He didn't want the person he had been looking up to in his heart to be like an ordinary person, who was at a loss because of unsolvable problems and gradually lost his divinity. It seems to be getting closer to this person.
Li Cu thought for a while, then tentatively said in a low voice: "Brother Zhang." His tongue still hurt, and when he spoke, he felt a sharp pain.
Hearing the sound, Zhang Qiling turned to him, Li Cu's mind became hot, he actually had nothing to do, but people are always enlightened when they are encouraged, at this time Zhang Qiling looked at him and waited for his suggestion, it was in Li Cu's mind Ten times the speed on the motor.
Li Cu endured the pain on his tongue and said with difficulty: "It hurts, the pain can be relieved."
Thinking that he almost bit off his tongue before waking up in pain, maybe he could hint to Wu Xie and bite his own tongue.
Seeing that Zhang Qiling didn't respond, Li Cu also squatted beside Wu Xie, and softly called out to Wu Xie: "Boss Wu! If you're a man, be tough on yourself, bite your tongue and you'll wake up!"
Zhang Qiling also seemed to think that he could give it a try, looked at Wu Xie's face, and waited for his reaction, but Wu Xie's face was still very relaxed, and it didn't look like he was planning to bite his tongue at all.
Li Cu sighed, thinking that Wu Xie was really inferior to me, afraid of a bird.Thinking about it, he pulled out his small dagger from his waist, handed it to Zhang Qiling, and said: "Brother Zhang, then you should be hard-hearted and hit Boss Wu, he should wake up."
Zhang Qiling looked at the dagger in his hand, clicked his tongue, and threw the dagger to the ground.He raised one hand and pinched Wu Xie's cheeks, Wu Xie's mouth was pinched slightly open, then he lowered his head and moved closer, stuck out the tip of his tongue, and inserted it into Wu Xie's mouth.
He tilted his head slightly, and their lips pressed against each other tightly.
Wu Xie's eyes were right in front of his eyes, and the eyelashes were all distinct. Although those eyes were closed, the eyelashes trembled slightly.And the tip of Zhang Qiling's tongue penetrated deeper and touched Wu Xie's tongue, which was very wet and soft.
Zhang Qiling closed his eyes, and at the same time used his tongue to hook Wu Xie.You can try the method Li Cu said, the blood on the tip of the tongue does have a similar effect, he can bite the tip of his tongue to break the illusion.It's just that Wu Xie is still in the illusion, and his body is not under control, which is actually a bit difficult.
But Zhang Qiling didn't expect that Wu Xie's tongue would suddenly entangle him.He opened his eyes, but Wu Xie's eyes were still closed, and there was no sign of waking up, which meant that Wu Xie was in an illusion and wanted to respond to him.
What is this doing in an illusion.
Zhang Qiling pressed against Wu Xie's lips but couldn't help chuckling, a little helpless, but he also closed his eyes again.
Wu Xie's response was simply eager, she even raised her arms around his neck, lowered his head lower, and urgently responded to his words with her own lips.
This was originally just a way to dispel the illusion, but now it seems to have really turned into a kiss.
"Fuck me!"
The fat man who had just stepped through the door almost tripped over his left foot by his right foot.
In the next few seconds that the fat man was stunned, Wu Xie "intensified", and the hand that was holding Zhang Qiling's head slid all the way down Zhang Qiling's back, and got into the clothes when it reached the hem.
The fat man came back to his senses and cursed with a smile, "Damn it, look at your potential!" Then he carried Li Cu, who was already stupid, out.
Wu Xie obviously didn't know the real situation, but he was really concentrating on it, but the nimble tip of his tongue was not obedient at all, Zhang Qiling caught it several times before he caught it, and finally bit down hard on it.
The faint smell of blood spread, and Wu Xie snorted, all movements stopped at the same time, and he returned to his sleeping state.
Zhang Qiling felt that Wu Xie had stopped, so he opened his eyes to look at him.Then he let go of the tip of his tongue, and he stretched out his hand to touch Wu Xie's face, it was slightly hot, and then he felt the pulse on his neck, which was beating very fast, which was a reaction to wake up.But even he himself became short of breath because of the contact just now, and Wu Xie must be like this too.
"Wu Xie." Zhang Qiling frowned slightly and called out.
After a while, Wu Xie slowly opened his eyes, and saw Zhang Qiling's face close at hand.
Because even in the hallucination, Wu Xie is awake in his mind, knowing that he is in the hallucination, so when he wakes up, the surrounding environment and atmosphere have changed. Wu Xie is not surprised, but there is a little bit of weird regret.
Wu Xie collected himself, his face couldn't help but heat up, everything else was different from hallucinations, except the person in front of him remained the same.
However, compared to the surprise of Zhang Qiling finally returning to his sight, Wu Xie couldn't ignore the current state of the two of them.Zhang Qiling was directly above him, with his legs on both sides of his waist, and one hand was still on his face, and Zhang Qiling's face was so close to his, his bangs seemed to be swept away on his forehead.
Wu Xie swallowed involuntarily, and said to herself that she had just had a spring dream and woke up and saw herself in such an ambiguous posture, which was so fucking exciting.
Wu Xie made a mistake backwards, raised his arms and half sat up, smiled awkwardly at Zhang Qiling, and said, "Brother, you are back."
Zhang Qiling spoke almost at the same time as him, but said, "You're awake."
Wu Xie met Zhang Qiling's indifferent eyes, and immediately moved away, scratched his head, and said, "Zhang Haike, have you seen it, I accidentally fell into the illusion he created with a hexagonal copper bell just now." His eyes moved away But it accidentally landed on Zhang Qiling's clavicle and chest in his open coat, where it was still bright red.
With a "buzz" in Wu Xie's head, he stretched out his hand and pulled the man's coat. The blood stain on his shoulder was even bigger, and he was anxious: "How did you do this? Are you injured?"
Zhang Qiling moved away from Wu Xie, sat aside, and said, "I met a snake and was bitten, and now I'm fine."
Wu Xie didn't believe it, stretched out his hand to pick it up again, but Zhang Qiling didn't stop him. Sure enough, Zhang Qiling's injury on his shoulder extended to his back, and his entire upper body was tightly wrapped in bandages, which showed that the injury was not ordinary.
"Is this still called heavy?" Wu Xie murmured, and his gaze shifted to Zhang Qiling's face. There was a slight scratch on one side of the face, and a piece was broken at the corner of the mouth, which was a little blood red.No matter how dangerous it was in the past, Zhang Qiling had hardly lost his face, but now his face could be said to be in a state of embarrassment, and Wu Xie's heart twitched.After thinking about it, I was surprised, Zhang Qiling was so injured, that boy Li Cu would not die.Then he asked: "Where is Li Cu? Have you found him?"
Zhang Qiling pushed away Wu Xie's hand, put it on again, and zipped up the jacket again, saying: "He's fine, he killed the snake, very brave."
This answer was even more unexpected, the corner of Wu Xie's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "Haha, if you can say that, I'll be impressed by him."
Wu Xie was indeed surprised, but it was more of a kind of comfort mixed with surprise, not the surprise that Li Cuo was still alive, but the thought that the young man should finally get what he wanted.In the beginning, he dragged him into this bureau by himself, and even brought the snow mountain this time because he had some selfish intentions—if he encountered a snake, he might need to read its pheromones, and of course he would still seek Li Cu's opinion.But it is impossible to say that there is no guilt in my heart, and now I am somewhat relieved.
Zhang Qiling looked at Wu Xie's smiling face, but his eyes fell on his still glistening lips. For a moment, he had to admit that he was indeed lost.
Zhang Qiling looked away and said, "What about you, are they just creating illusions for you?"
It’s okay not to mention it, thinking of Zhang Haike, Wu Xie got angry again, snorted, and said, “I don’t know what Zhang Haike thinks, he plans to arrest me to threaten you, what about others? Have you talked about it?”
Zhang Qiling said: "I said it, but I didn't agree."
Wu Xie was taken aback, and said, "You mean..."
Zhang Qiling nodded and said: "They can't do anything if they can't find the mother bell. I hid the mother bell, but I can't give it to them."
Wu Xie couldn't help asking: "Then what are you going to do?"
Zhang Qiling looked at him, grabbed his arm suddenly, and said, "Come with me, we'll get the mother bell, and then finish these things."
This was almost the first time that Zhang Qiling expressed his thoughts so frankly and gave him a promise.
Zhang Qiling didn't say anything when he entered the mountain ten years ago, and he didn't say anything when he met again ten years later. Wu Xie thought that maybe Zhang Qiling had really compromised with himself this time, or that they had a relationship with each other. They all compromised with each other.It was the best he could have hoped for.
Wu Xie's heart was clear, but unexpectedly calm, maybe it should be like this.
Wu Xie wanted to say yes, but he asked naturally, "What about the future?"
If it is really possible to end all of this, end the ultimate guardianship, and end fate, then what about in the future.
There were obvious waves in Zhang Qiling's eyes, he didn't answer for a while, and then he asked: "What did you see in the hallucination, you are not controlled by the copper bell, you are conscious, but you don't want to wake up."
Wu Xie stared at him for a long time, it was really an illusion that he didn't want to wake up from, it was the "later" he could think of.
Wu Xie also squeezed Zhang Qiling's arm with his backhand, and said with a smile: "I'll talk about it later, I'll tell you when I have a chance."
Zhang Qiling hummed inexplicably, stood up, and said, "They are all outside, let's go."
When the two walked outside the main hall, Wu Xie kicked at the back of Zhang Haike who was lowering his head to pack the medicine box, but of course Zhang Haike dodged it.
Zhang Haike turned around and said with a smile, "Are you awake? The patriarch has a solution."
Wu Xie scolded: "Damn it, this matter is endless." That's what he said, but he obviously didn't have the extra energy to deal with it right now. Wu Xie saw the injured leg in black glasses, Su Wan who was still in a coma, and Li Cu, whose clothes were mixed with blood and dirt, knew that they had also experienced danger, and that the road was much more difficult than his own.
"I'll give you a chance to pay off your merits." Wu Xie stared at Zhang Haike and said, "You'd better explain to me what's going on here."
Zhang Haike put down the medicine box, unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip of water, said: "Business cannot be done with righteousness. Since the patriarch and you both plan to continue to take risks, we will not stop us. We will do our own thing." He took out from his bag. I handed over the ghost seal and copper bell I found in Wu Xie, "Return these two things to you, and keep them well."
Wu Xie took it, but he didn't believe that the Zhang family would let it go so easily, and said, "What do you mean doing your own thing? Are you really giving up? Or do you have other plans?"
Zhang Haike said: "Don't be like this, my identity is just a lobbyist, and my task is to win the trust of the patriarch. Since my family assigns this job to me, they have already anticipated possible risks, and they will not hold me accountable." But the same, you are the same, we don't intend to let you know things, you can't ask me from me."
Wu Xie looked at Zhang Haike's face that was the same as his own, and once again thought that this face was disgusting, and said, "Where is the Zhang family, I want to see your heads."
Zhang Haike spread his hands and said: "It's not necessary. Besides, our head is the patriarch, he is with you. For the rest of us, if you come out of the bronze gate alive, you will definitely have a chance to meet in the future. If you die, We are just corpse collectors, so there is no need to see or not."
Wu Xie didn't answer, Zhang Haixing came up from the side and said, "If you're a man, please give me a break, how can you still have the confidence to mess with us?"
Wu Xie smiled and said, "Then please show me the way, how can we get to the Bronze Gate."
Zhang Haike said: "You haven't seen the back of the hall, right? The road is over there. Your fat brother should have seen it just now. This is the Nether Palace, the lower floor, and the upper floor is Yunding Tiangong and Bronze Gate , the place you are going to is behind the bronze gate."
Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling, who neither denied nor questioned.
The fat man on the side said: "That's true."
It seems that suddenly everything is logical, Wu Xie is still a little unbelievable.
Zhang Haike's face was sincere, Zhang Haixing's face was still dark, and the blood color finally returned to the face of the black glasses. Su Wan said something vaguely in a faint. Li Cu looked at him with a gratifying look in his eyes. Fatty and Zhang Qiling As always, that's what he wanted to see the most.
Then Zhang Haike took another step closer to Wu Xie. Wu Xie was a little surprised to see that Zhang Haike stretched out his right hand to him, which turned out to be a gesture to shake hands with him, and said: "The world is unpredictable, you should take care of yourself, I will read it to you." Recite the Buddha's name and pray to God, erase all the previous things."
There was a momentary change in Zhang Haike's eyes. For the first time, Wu Xie saw not only his own shape, but also some of his previous expressions on this face.It's not that Zhang Haike has become that Wu Xie, but this kind of candid attitude.This surprised Wu Xie a little.
Seeing that Wu Xie remained calm, Zhang Haike took the initiative to grab Wu Xie's right hand and shake it.
Wu Xie smiled. This way of making peace was really absurd, but he couldn't refuse, and said, "I'm very enlightened. I'm sure I'll have a lot of good words with your family leader."
Zhang Haike smiled and said, "Maybe I have imitated you for a long time, and even my thinking has assimilated with you."
Regardless of whether this sentence is true or not, and even if it is false, to a certain extent, Wu Xie also took the initiative in dealing with the Zhang family.
Wu Xie and Zhang Haike solemnly shook hands a few times. The two outsiders could hardly tell the difference, like images copied from each other. Although they have completely different experiences, interests and goals, if they achieve the first time, they will probably also is the only one unified.
The injured still need rest and timely medical treatment.Several people decided to go up together first, Zhang Haike promised to provide rescue for Su Wan and others, and those who wanted to go to the Bronze Gate with Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling went up to part ways, and had to wait for a later date.
As they walked together, Wu Xie felt a little lighter in his heart, and thought of Li Cu again.Wu Xie walked up to Li Cu with a grin, put her arms around Li Cu's neck, and said with a smile, "I heard that you boy performed well in front of your male god? I'm very pleased, but you have to make persistent efforts, don't Live up to my careful cultivation."
Li Cu glanced at Wu Xie, but said nothing because his tongue still hurt.
Wu Xie didn't let him go, and continued: "Why don't you speak? You couldn't answer ten sentences without me before?"
Damn, who is one sentence and who is ten sentences!Li Cu cursed secretly, opened his mouth with difficulty, and rolled his tongue out a sentence: "Old paper toe candy, I don't want to tell Li."
"Huh?" Wu Xie was a little puzzled. Thinking of Zhang Qiling saying that they had encountered a snake before, she guessed most of it, "You also fell into an illusion? Bit your tongue?"
Li Cu rolled Wu Xie's eyes and nodded.
Wu Xie only thought it was a strange coincidence, because he also felt pain on the tip of his tongue when he woke up, so he walked to Zhang Qiling's side again and said, "Brother, I found that it seems that the illusion created by the copper bell can be relieved by other methods. "
Hearing this, Zhang Qiling turned to him, and stopped in his footsteps.
Wu Xie was taken aback by his reaction, thinking why the younger brother's eyes are so...serious?After thinking for a while, he said, "There is no basis, I guessed wildly, that kid and I both bit our own tongues, and woke up." Wu Xie patted Zhang Qiling's uninjured shoulder as he spoke, and said in a serious tone , "It doesn't matter how you wake up, don't worry about it."
Zhang Qiling didn't speak, just glanced at him, turned his head and left.
Wu Xie looked at Li Cu, pointed at Zhang Qiling and said to Li Cu: "He doesn't seem to believe my guess at all, it's too embarrassing."
Li Cuo, who witnessed how Wu Xie woke up with his own eyes, also sighed, and said clearly this time: "Boss Wu, you are too naive."
As the few people walked, Zhang Haike slowly told Wu Xie what he wanted to know about the connection between the Ming Palace and the Bronze Gate: "It is written in ancient books that 'the merchant is Shun and the Zuqi, and the Ming is the Tang', but 'the Ming Palace ’ This concept is rarely mentioned, and it is a missing person in the history of mythology.”
"You've read a lot of ancient books, right? Most of the very eye-catching records on them are about the concept of heaven, where people's souls can rest in peace. But related to the underworld, people think of it as a world full of pain and demons."
"In fact, there is a certain misunderstanding. At the beginning, the underworld was the same as heaven, and it was an underground mirror image of heaven. But in ancient times, although the underworld was "suburb sacrifice" in the Shang Dynasty, it split into several similar ones. Personality, such as Qingming, represents the sky; Beiming, representing the northern sea; Xuanming, is the most complex direct line, and has derived many semantics and secondary personalities. But the final result is that "Ming" is lost own subject."
"But it's obviously different here." Zhang Haike took a breath and continued, "This Nether Palace, no matter in terms of scale or architectural style, we can see the significance of its construction. We can imagine that in the Yin and Shang Dynasties Or in a certain era before, there were some people, even a certain civilization, who really regarded Ming as the place they yearned for and the world they respected.”
Wu Xie was noncommittal, and just said: "Your storytelling is still so messy, I'm not interested in listening to it, I just want to know about the bronze door."
Zhang Haike sighed, and said to Zhang Qiling: "Patriarch, look at him, if he doesn't have much information, he will definitely cause trouble if he enters the Bronze Gate."
Zhang Qiling glanced at the two of them and said: "It doesn't matter much, I have a sense of proportion after entering the door."
Black Glasses chuckled, and said to Zhang Haike, "Stop beating around the bush and continuing to lobby. If I were you, I would shut up and save some effort. The head of your family has always been ignorant of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and now it's finally a little Taste preference, unfortunately not your own family."
Zhang Haike stopped in his tracks, and said to the unconscious injury on his back, "If I were you, I would shut up too, no one would want to carry you if I throw you down."
"Don't stop, I won't talk anymore." Black Glasses smiled, "I will remember the grace of saving my life, and I will help you speak next time."
Li Cu was confused by what he heard, and he was also curious, but found that the things here were not what he could understand at all, so he picked up the most direct one and asked: "What does the bronze gate have to do with this Nether Palace?"
Zhang Qiling said: "It's hard to say what the specific relationship is, but what is certain is that the Bronze Gate and the Underworld Palace should have appeared at the same time, and the people who built them at that time tried to make the two connected."
"Patriarch, you really know it too, it seems that I am innocent
