Well of Mystery

"Jiang Chenglu!"

Handing the umbrella to Le Yaochun, Hua Yang walked over and shook Jiang Chenglu's shoulder: "What are you crazy about! Wake up, open your eyes and see, this is not a place for you to run wild!"

"Yes, Ah Jiang! Come to your senses!" Le Yaochun also shouted from the side: "The hail is too big, stop quickly, someone will be hit!"

But Jiang Chenglu didn't seem to hear their voices at all.He just held the head tightly in his arms, caressing that bloodless face over and over again.

Just a few hours ago, the owner of this face was still leaning in his arms, rubbing ears and temples together, telling the oath of never being separated... But in the blink of an eye, all the beautiful, sweet, cherished and remembered things, They were all taken away and smashed into pieces, turning into a dream and a bubble.

why?

Why arrange this cruel encounter if it was destined to be taken away so quickly in the first place?

Jiang Chenglu couldn't accept such a result. This shouldn't be the result he had waited for for decades.

Le Yaochun couldn't move Jiang Chenglu, so he sat down in the rain and sobbed sadly.Tridacna couldn't help anything, and could only hide under the umbrella and sigh.

Hua Yang wanted to say something, but was grabbed by the arm by the big bear doll who rushed out of the apartment, and pulled him back to the passageway at the entrance of the gate.

"You stay and go, I'll tell him!"

It wasn't until this time that Hua Yang realized that his left shoulder had been deformed by the hail.He smiled wryly and said that he would pay attention, and patted Shang Douxing on the shoulder to signal him to go and see Jiang Chenglu's situation.

The furious Daxiong walked back to Jiang Chenglu's side with heavy steps without even opening an umbrella, grabbed his collar and forced him to look up at him.

"Boy, what are you howling here for? Just howl a few times like this, and Bai Xiuqi can come back to life?"

"..."

Jiang Chenglu didn't answer, only his eyes revealed the confusion in his heart at this moment.

Shang Douxing sighed heavily.He reached out and patted Jiang Chenglu's cheek.

"Cheer up! Look at me, look at Huayang, and Xiaohong... death is nothing. You still need to pay attention to it?! But it's really early, or wait until Bai Xiuqi's soul enters It's going to be hard to get back to the underworld!"

"...!!"

Like a spark being ignited, Jiang Chenglu's eyes lit up, and he finally reacted.

At this moment, a police car came from a distance at a speed that was almost dangerous, and it flicked to a stop in the middle of the road only five or six steps away from them.

The splashed muddy water accurately landed on Jiang Chenglu and Shang Douxing.Jiang Chenglu was in a hurry to protect Bai Xiuqi's head in his arms, but Shang Douxing had already turned around to curse someone.

The left and right doors of the police car opened simultaneously, and Tao Chuan and Wei Xiangtu rushed out together.As soon as he saw the head in Jiang Chenglu's arms, he knew he was a step late.

However, they had some preparations in their hearts as they drove through the hail all the way.

Wei Xiangtu ran to Jiang Chenglu's side in two or three steps, and first gave him a reassurance: "Jiang Chenglu, calm down! Things are turning around. We can definitely bring Bai Xiuqi back to life!"

When he said this sentence.The hailstorm in the sky overhead had almost stopped.Although the rain is still heavy, it will not pose a threat to people anyway.

Jiang Chenglu's lips moved twice, and finally spit out a few broken words: "Yes... the soul, Xiaobai's soul..."

If you want to bring people back to life, everything else can be discussed.Only the soul is indispensable.But where is Bai Xiuqi's soul now?

"What are you still doing in a daze, go down and look for it!"

Shang Douxing patted Jiang Chenglu's back hard with his bear paw that had soaked up the rain.

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

The continuous rain almost flooded the tunnel into Zeguo, a water town.Jiang Chenglu ran down the steps stepping on the splashing water waves, and the first thing he saw was the dying flame not far away.

"How could this be... how could this be!"

He stared dumbfounded at the mass of ashes.The extremely high-temperature flames had already burned Bai Xiuqi's body into a mass of ashes whose outline could barely be seen.Soaked by the rain, began to drift slowly.

"What are you looking at! Go grab it!" Shang Douxing who ran down was also stunned, but at least he is much calmer than Jiang Chenglu right now.

Wei Xiangtu and Le Yaochun volunteered to help pick up the ashes, while Jiang Chenglu anxiously looked around the underground passage.

No, Bai Xiuqi's soul is not here.

But how?Logically speaking, any soul that dies during the day will hide in a dark place the moment it leaves its body, perhaps underground, in a river, perhaps in a sewer or inside a certain building, and wait until night to come out of hiding again. Appeared at the place and embarked on the road to the underworld.

But if Bai Xiuqi is not in this dark underground tunnel, where is his soul?

Jiang Chenglu was restless, he casually dragged the only person who witnessed the murder process over, and asked anxiously.

"I saw a bird..."

Although Gongping has not completely ended the state of trance, he has at least been able to say something valuable: "The bird flew out of Bai Xiuqi's back, and then Bai Xiuqi's body began to burn. He flew into the depths of the underground passage, and that murderous monster followed after him..."

Jiang Chenglu immediately turned his gaze to the dark underground passage.

Even in the deepest night, he can still see the distant world clearly.But now, he didn't see anything.

"This passage was originally part of the underground civil air defense fortification and civil subway. Although it was abandoned during construction, it has been dug for a considerable distance before it was abandoned, and it may be connected to other municipal facilities. After entering the maze, we can't follow it. But we can notify the rat demon living in the sewer to help pay attention, and report back as soon as we have news." This is what Tao Chuan knows. "Tao Chuan's words do make sense."

Wei Xiangtu then analyzed: "If the 'divine bird' seen by this little brother is indeed related to Bai Xiuqi's soul, then Bai Xiuqi's soul is at least being protected by some kind of power that we don't understand. Now Xiaobai His physical body has been destroyed, this power can only protect him from a smooth death, then Bai Xiuqi's soul will probably be sent to the gate of ghosts in this city. We just need to go there to pick him up."

"Both of them are right."

Shang Douxing also nodded: "It's useless for you to worry about the soul now, first take the little boss back, and prepare all the material conditions that can bring him back to life. When the time comes, the return of the soul will be a matter of course."

"……What is this?!"

Le Yaochun, who was squatting on the ground to collect ashes, suddenly yelled "Aiyo", and then raised his right hand.

He held a severed hand in his hand.There is also a circular tattoo on the wrist.

————————————————————————————

Under everyone's persuasion, Jiang Chenglu finally calmed down reluctantly, and returned to Xuanjing Apartment holding Bai Xiuqi's head and the remaining ashes of his body.A group of people did not go to Bai Xiuqi's apartment, but crowded into Huayang's studio instead.

"Fortunately, I have at least a ready-made shell here, and I can perform 'surgery' immediately."

Leaving everyone else in the living room to wait, Hua Yang led Jiang Chenglu to the room where the puppets were stored.

After opening the bead curtain.He went straight to the center of the room, pointed to the headless puppet lying in the cabinet on the ground, and told Jiang Chenglu, "My arm is weak, give me Xiaobai's head first. Then go over there." Help me get him out."

"..." Jiang Chenglu looked at the perfect but pale and lifeless ceramic doll in the glass cabinet, with an undetectable hesitation in his eyes.

"Why are you still standing there!" Hua Yang couldn't help kicking him: "Do you think this body is not good enough for your Xiaobai? I plan to sell this body for seven zeros, seven zeros! Do you want love? , there is no such store in this village!"

Jiang Chenglu just woke up like a dream, and carefully handed Bai Xiuqi's head to Hua Yang.Then he leaned over and hugged the doll out of the glass cabinet.

The situation is slightly different from what I imagined before—although the doll is made of ceramics, it feels light and fluffy in the hand, and the inside is obviously hollow.

"follow me."

While speaking, Hua Yang had already opened the bead curtain leading to the third room.Jiang Chenglu followed him in, and found that he had unknowingly entered Huayang's Hutian world.

Here is a lush valley.Everywhere is the vigorous green at the turn of spring and summer.The hanging green radishes and female radishes interweave into a green curtain, setting up a huge curtain in the hinterland of the valley.

There is a white jade-like stone bed in the curtain, which is exactly the same as the one in Shang Dou Xing Hu Tian before.

Jiang Chenglu carefully placed the doll on the white jade bed, and then Hua Yang placed Bai Xiuqi's head on the doll's neck.

"The first thing to do is to sew the head back on to the body."

Hua Yang began to give orders, and then pointed to a row of wooden cabinets on the right side of the curtain: "The one on the right, inside the vertical and horizontal Xuan Zige, take out the needles for me."

Jiang Chenglu walked over to open the corresponding cabinet, and he saw a black stone box. When he opened it, there were nine different thin needles from large to small. The whole body was crystal clear, as if it had been frozen for thousands of years.

"This set is Taisu nine needles, which can easily penetrate all objects without damaging fragile objects, infection, bleeding, or scars." Hua Yang explained: "Go get the thread again, the left side Vertical three vertical five-dimensional characters."

This time, what Jiang Chenglu brought over was a spindle-shaped golden gem with a round hole punched at the bottom.There is also a slender silver bracket on the side.

Hua Yang inserted the gem on the bracket, and with just a flick of his finger, the gem rolled quickly along the silver axis.Hua Yang used a thin needle to draw a circle around the surface of the gemstone, and unexpectedly picked up a very thin thread, and then pulled out a thin thread that was so transparent that it was almost invisible.
