Well of Mystery

Bai Xiuqi was very nervous, he was a little at a loss.

But in fact, Bai Xiuqi was not the only one who was at a loss.

Jiang Chenglu sighed in his heart, and finally took his hand back gently.

Feeling the pressure on her back disappear, Bai Xiuqi raised her eyelids to look at Jiang Chenglu, with an unspoken question in her eyes.

But Jiang Chenglu just pretended not to understand what he meant, and changed the subject with a smile.

"Swallow it all, don't be so nervous. If it really has the effect of avoiding water, swallowing it in the stomach is also effective. Remember to try it next time you take a bath."

Bai Xiuqi let out an "oh", but she was still a little worried: "...I said, there really won't be any problem if you just swallow it like this?"

"After all, it has magic power. Ordinary people may feel uncomfortable after ingesting it, but there will definitely be no major problems. Don't worry too much."

"...Then will it stay in the body, or will it be excreted after a few days?"

"I haven't swallowed it, so I don't know about it. But if you look at the goblins and ghosts who used to devour other people's inner alchemy, you haven't seen them pull out the inner alchemy. It must have been absorbed."

Speaking of this, Jiang Chenglu couldn't help but said narrowly: "Even if I really come out, I don't want it. I'll give it to you. You're welcome."

Bai Xiuqi couldn't help but rolled his eyes at him again, then suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, got up and went back to the bedroom to sleep.Although Li Kun's suite is spacious, there is only one bedroom, and there is only a luxurious king-size bed in it.Just now Jiang Chenglu offered to sleep on the sofa in the living room by himself. Bai Xiuqi was a little bit unbearable at first, but now he has slept peacefully.

The soft mattress seemed to be made of water, and the whole person sank in when lying on it.Bai Xiuqi relaxed herself, felt the appropriate temperature and wrapped herself up little by little, took a long breath, and began to prepare for sleep.

To his surprise, after a few days, he actually started dreaming again, and there were two of them.

The first dream was a bit strange, because it happened in a place that Bai Xiuqi had never seen or even imagined.There is like a boundless classical garden, filled with smoke and clouds.The railings carved with white jade twist and turn among the flowers, leading all the way to the magnificent pavilions and palaces in the distance.

He lowered his head and saw that he was wearing an ancient Chinese dress, and under the silver gauze was a silver soft armor, which was as fine as dragon scales.

What is this place and what are you doing?He was stunned when suddenly two young men dressed as civil servants walked up behind him and nodded to him.Although he didn't know their names, Bai Xiuqi returned the gift and walked forward together.

This place is definitely not the world - it didn't take long for Bai Xiuqi to affirm this conclusion.

In the center of the path under his feet, exquisite auspicious patterns are inlaid with agates of various colors; in the garden, Qihua Yaocao is in full bloom, full of fragrance, but no matter how you look at the branches, leaves and flowers, they seem to be carved out of gemstones; the sky above the head is surrounded by colorful clouds, From time to time, colorful birds fly by, like a dream.

Every time he took a step, he felt more amazed in his heart, and unconsciously followed the people in front of him up dozens of steps to a high platform made of white marble.

A tall and luxuriant old tree grew on the high platform, and the tree body showed a faint golden color.The canopy-like canopy stretched out to the surroundings, full of large purple flowers, the petals drifted with the wind, and laid a thick blanket on the white jade platform.

A grand banquet was arranged on the thick purple blanket.Starting from the high place in the north, there are many people sitting layer by layer.Although they were all dressed in brocade clothes, they sat in two rows on the left and right with a clear banner. Bai Xiuqi followed the two leading the way to the banquet in the east, but was driven to the west by the people present.

So I'm on this side?

Bai Xiuqi pondered in his heart, and found an empty seat to sit down.Regardless of greeting the people around him, he continued to look up at the situation in the distance——

On the northernmost side of the banquet, on the height of the white jade platform, there is a canopy of seven treasures standing under the giant purple flower tree.Under the canopy sat a man, dressed in a brilliant golden robe, so bright that his face could hardly be seen.

But Bai Xiuqi felt very familiar for no reason, as if...it was Jiang Chenglu's face again.

He was slightly stunned, and saw Jiang Chenglu's lower head, and there were desks on the east and west sides, among them, a man with black hair and red clothes was sitting behind the desk on the east, with clear facial features.

Bai Xiuqi took a closer look, and then took a deep breath—it was his own face!

But wait a minute, if the person sitting at the top is himself, then who is he now?

Bai Xiuqi's heart skipped a beat, and he grabbed the wine glass on the table in front of him and looked down.A half-dragon, half-snake head with only one horn was reflected on the amber wine surface.

It's Bai Jiao!

Bai Xiuqi exclaimed, and dropped the wine glass on the ground by mistake.In an instant, everything in front of him began to be distorted, blurred and upside down as if he was drunk.

The vestibular organ in the inner ear produced a feeling of dizziness and nausea under the excessive stimulation, and he had to temporarily close his eyes to stabilize his steps.Immediately afterwards, the greetings at the banquet were suddenly amplified dozens of times, turning into a heart-pounding shout of killing.

He opened his eyes in horror, and found that the surrounding scenery had changed dramatically again.

He was back in the dark prison he had dreamed about not so long ago.He was still wearing the jailer's black robe, but his head was not covered with the flame-patterned black veil.

There is no need for that, because all the ghost lights in the cell corridor have been extinguished, replaced by golden red flames spreading everywhere.

He widened his eyes in astonishment, and found that almost all the cells had their doors wide open, and they were either empty, or lay the corpse of a jailer in the same attire as him.

The ground was covered with blood, puddle after puddle, reflecting his stunned and speechless expression.

With sword in hand, Bai Xiuqi ran all the way to the deepest part of the prison.On the way, many prisoners who had just escaped from the cage rushed towards him with their teeth and claws.

He swung his sword and killed a few, but he was outnumbered and was soon surrounded.

Do it like this?Without assistance, it seems like a dead end.

Bai Xiuqi felt that he was sane, but he didn't feel scared, instead, he felt relieved deep in his heart.It was as if... death didn't seem like a bad choice for him at the moment.

He pulled a sword flower and shook off the blood flowing from the blade.He held his breath and waited for the first enemy to pounce on him.

But suddenly there was a huge shaking from the ground, and the stones and dust on the top of the head kept falling down, and most of the rocky tunnel in front of him collapsed into powder!

Bai Xiuqi's eyes widened.

He saw, in the smoke and dust raised by the collapse, a giant beast appeared.Its huge body is covered with golden armor, but its head and tail have long mane. Its bloody red eyes and sharp claws make people shudder.

But what really made Bai Xiuqi shudder was the man who was sitting on the giant beast with ease.

Jiang Chenglu!

No, it should be said that it was the mysterious man who looked exactly like Jiangcheng Road, but was thrown into the depths of the prison and kept under strict guard.

The vicious fugitives who were still fighting with Bai Xiuqi just now were all prostrate in front of the giant beast's claws.However, the giant beast ignored them and walked straight to Bai Xiuqi with heavy steps.

Bai Xiuqi raised his head, staring blankly at the man sitting on the giant beast, the person with whom he had been having an affair.

Surprise, disappointment, resentment, sadness... Many kinds of emotions surged in his chest one after another, and the severe colic in his heart made him almost unable to stand up.Bai Xiuqi had to stick the sword on the ground to support his body.

"You lied to me..." He questioned the man on the giant beast: "Why did you betray me?!"

The man who looked exactly like Jiang Chenglu was also condescendingly looking down at him, his eyes were actually full of pleasure.

"Because you deserve it."

Just as he finished speaking, the giant beast under his seat raised its sharp claws.

A gust of cold wind came towards Bai Xiuqi, but he didn't avoid it, as if he still didn't believe that bad luck would really befall him.

But in the next instant, the extremely sharp animal claws had torn his chest open.

Blood gushed out, and the heart was dug out from the torn gap, and it was still beating.

...! ! !

Bai Xiuqi let out a cry of pain and sat up from the bed.

The night is still quiet, and the wetland outside the window is full of frogs,

Bai Xiuqi took a few breaths, coughed a few times under his throat, grabbed the mineral water bottle on the bedside table in the dark, unscrewed it and took a few sips, only then did he gradually feel his heartbeat return to a steady state.

It was the first time in his childhood that he dreamed of his own death.

After calming down, before the dream began to fade, he began to recall the content of the dream carefully.

The first dream was obviously a psychological hint triggered by Jiang Chenglu's sentence "I am the Jade Emperor".As for the reason why I stood in the perspective of the white flood dragon in the dream, it was because I swallowed the dragon soul of the white flood dragon, and was probably influenced by the white flood dragon subconsciously.

In comparison, the second dream is much weirder.

Bai Xiuqi took another sip of water to suppress a few coughs.Although I know that everything is just a dream, but recalling the moment when my chest was torn apart, my heart still throbs involuntarily.

He grabbed the bathrobe and draped it over his body in a mysterious manner, and quietly walked to the half-hidden door of the room to look out.

Jiang Chenglu was still sleeping on the sofa in the living room behind the door.He was so tired that he might not be woken up even by thunder.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, there was light from street lamps, which fell faintly and softly on Jiang Chenglu's side face.The sleeping man looked handsome and steady, with a friendly smile on his lips.Bai Xiuqi stared blankly for a while, but there was really no way to equate him with the person in the dream.

Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it any more.

Jiang Chenglu is Jiang Chenglu, the gentle administrator of Xuanjing Apartment.He is not some high-ranking emperor, nor is he a vicious gangster.

Instead of being swayed by inexplicable dreams, it is better to trust your own vision.

Yes, Bai Xiuqi nodded - believe in yourself, even if you make a mistake, at least you won't regret it.
