Well of Mystery

About 600 meters away from the shallows is a small fishing village.

Within a few minutes after the white dragon fell, someone started to run over despite the wind and rain.They approached the dragon cautiously, kneeling at a distance they thought was safe.However, the dragon was dying, as if there was no response.

The crowd whispered for a while, and then dispersed again. When they returned, they held reed mats, bamboo poles and other things in their hands, and set up a herringbone tent on the dragon.

Long, just slept on the shallows for two days without eating or drinking, as if he was dead.

On the third day, people were no longer afraid of this giant beast.At first, someone tried to stuff fresh sea fish between its teeth, and splashed seawater on him to cool him down.Among them was a child who found that the dragon's right front paw had been clenched tightly since it landed, and there seemed to be a faint light coming from inside.

Could it be some baby?

The news spread ten or ten times, and it spread like wildfire.Finally, almost everyone in this seaside town knows that "the wish-fulfilling jewel is held in the dragon's claw", which is a treasure that is even rarer than the night pearl in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

That night, a group of people approached the dragon secretly, and the iron rod pried off the dragon's right front paw.

When the dragon's claw was forced to open, something bright like a firefly flew away from the palm, and quickly disappeared into the vast sea.

The long-sleeping dragon suddenly opened his eyes.

A thunderbolt slid across the sky, frightening the people who came to steal the treasure to flee in all directions.The giant dragon struggled to shake off the thatch debris covering its body, and wanted to fly again, but fell back to the beach with powerlessness, its body glowed with a white light, and slowly transformed into a human shape.

The waves roared, the clouds were thick, and a heavy rain seemed to be coming again.

At this moment, another car drove by in the distance.It stopped at a place tens of meters away from the tidal flat.The people who got out of the car ran towards Long, helped him move out of the beach bit by bit, then got into the car and walked away.

At this time, the illusion began to dim little by little, as if a movie had finally ended.

Bai Xiuqi then took a breath, and then asked softly, "Ah Jiang is holding... what is it?"

"I think you should know." Bai Shu's voice sounded in his ear again.

Bai Xiuqi was silent.He blinked.It was discovered that a new picture appeared in that illusory light.

It is mountains, rivers, towns and deserted villages.There are many places that Bai Xiuqi is no stranger to—these scenes have all appeared in his grandfather's photo albums or paintings.It was the place he visited when he was traveling and sketching.

No, it's not just as simple as sketching.Bai Xiuqi soon saw Bai Shu's figure in the illusion.

From youth to middle age, my grandfather walked quietly through time like this. Every time he went out to sketch, he brought back a mysterious porcelain jar in addition to paintings and a little local products.

Inside the porcelain jar are the five-color light spots that escaped from the dragon's claws back then.

For ten years or even longer, Bai Shu picked them up bit by bit from all over the world.Bit by bit, poured into the body of a young child.Then I don't know how many years passed.One day, the toddler finally opened his eyes slowly.

"This is me?" Bai Xiuqi couldn't describe the huge shock she felt at this moment.

Indeed, is there anything more difficult to accept than not being a mortal?

He was silent for a while, and then muttered to himself: "But there are photos of my parents at home..."

"That's a pair of students who often follow me together. They are indeed young couples and treat you very well." Bai Shu smiled: "Everything else is the same as what I told you."

"..."

Bai Xiuqi really didn't know what to say.I just felt that my thinking became more and more clear, and a bold doubt also popped out of my mouth.

"How do you prove that you are my grandfather? Maybe you are the monster that chased me down, trying to confuse my thinking and weaken my will."

His speculation only drew a low laugh from Bai Shu.

"Some things like memory are hidden in the brain. Reincarnation, once gone, it will be gone, no matter how many panaceas in the sky and earth, it can't be retrieved. But there are still some things hidden in the soul, I can say Whether the words are facts or fabrications, the answer actually lies with you. Whether you want to remember it or not is your own choice."

At this point in the conversation, Bai Xiuqi no longer hesitated or was surprised, and asked directly: "Do I have to ask myself in this darkness? Then what if I remember it?"

"The darkness is only temporary, but how to break through this darkness is no longer something I can do for you."

Having said this, Bai Shu's voice paused for a moment, and suddenly changed the subject abruptly: "Your grandma is calling me, I have to go."

grandmother? !This old man doesn't even have a single photo of a woman in his house, so why suddenly a wife came out at this moment? !

Also, isn't he dead?Where exactly are you talking to yourself?

Bai Xiuqi suddenly felt that it might not be a good thing to wake up. Although Bai Shu appeared unexpectedly and dropped so many bomb-like information, he didn't seem to reveal the most important content at all——

For example, where is this place, and how can I leave.

Bai Xiuqi continued to try to move his hands and feet, but he still had the same indistinct feeling as before, and there was no change in moving forward, backward or up and down.He wasn't one to dig into corners, and he quickly gave up trying.

It's not life, it's not death, it should be a state of suspension between life and death, what can I do to get rid of it?

Bai Xiuqi didn't have a clue in his mind, he just hated that he didn't follow Jiang Chenglu to learn more about this aspect, and he didn't have the encounter and foresight to plan for a rainy day.

But there may be a chance for redemption.

"A Jiang, what should I do to break through this layer of darkness and return to you?"

He stretched out his invisible arm in the darkness, and in the distance there was the location of Xuanjing's apartment in his imagination.

————————————————————————————

Hua Yang felt that he really shouldn't just lie on the sofa and go to sleep, not to mention the sore back, so he slept for a few hours in a daze, when he heard the sound of footsteps in the room.not for a while.Jiang Chenglu rushed out like his family's big bear, his eyes shone and stuffed something under his eyelids.

Huayang also has a lot of temper, and when he lacks sleep, he is even more unhappy to the extreme.He waved the paper in front of him with one hand, and scolded angrily: "Is there such a crazy guy as you? Why is there such a rush? I told you it would take so many days to take care of your body. Don't be with a dog that no one walks." Wandering around here like a fool. Go to the yard and play with your tail!"

Who knew that Jiang Chenglu was not intimidated by his fierce tone at all.Instead, he pressed the crumpled paper to his face again.

"What is written on it, you have to read it clearly!"

Finally aware of the unusual excitement in Jiang Chenglu's tone, Hua Yang finally took the paper with a frown.He squinted his eyes and took a look.

But just this one glance caused a huge 180-degree change in his attitude.

"This, this is actually-!"

"Yes, that's right. You've been looking for a way to make the doll's body completely human!"

Jiang Chenglu's eyes were as bright as if they were about to shine: "I know you've been looking for this for a long time, isn't your body lacking this now? And Xiaobai too, even if he really came back to life, the puppet's body The surface is still hard and brittle and prone to secondary damage. But with this..."

"With this, you can completely transform into an ordinary body."

Hua Yang nodded, and finally remembered a very important question after being pleasantly surprised: "By the way, where did you find this piece of paper?"

"This is something that old man Bai hid in his tomb. He left it specially for Xiao Bai. The old man said, when Xiao Bai died in his previous life, I also chased his soul like this Come back. But I was seriously injured myself, and I accidentally jumped on the beach. Then someone took advantage of my illness to kill me, and tried to pry Xiaobai’s soul away as a treasure, but in the end it made him fly away. I don’t know what to do. Where to start looking."

"After that, the old man Bai and a gang of cronies sneaked me back to the Taoist temple in Fuxi Mountain, and piled up Xiaobai's body in a tomb to lie to me that I had been reincarnated, so that I could recover from my injuries. Then Bai The old man himself and others began to search for Xiaobai's scattered soul and put it back together."

"Then you should remember all these things." Hua Yang heard the clues: "But now you can't remember anything at all, what's the reason?"

"The reason is very simple." Jiang Chenglu stretched out his hand and tapped his temple: "After repeatedly persuading me to go down the mountain to no avail, they cruelly took away part of my memory."

"……All right."

Hua Yang was stunned, but thinking about it the other way around, although Jiang Chenglu usually acted carelessly, the stubbornness in his bones was obvious to all.In addition, this guy's force value is against the sky, if he doesn't do it like this, I'm afraid he really can't be dealt with.

The topic turned back to that piece of paper again.Apparently, there are many mysterious masters around Bai Shu to assist him. From nowhere, he got a method of reshaping the human body that is similar to what Hua Yang has mastered, and it is even more complete than what Hua Yang knows.

"Xiaobai's previous body was made."

Jiang Chenglu patted his head and laughed that he didn't realize it at all: "It's just that the paper said that the best materials were not available at that time, so Xiaobai's body can only last for less than 30 years. That is to say, When Xiaobai was 30 years old, he would die suddenly due to a sudden illness."

"That's not a few years left." Hua Yang said thoughtfully, "So even if the incident yesterday afternoon hadn't happened, Xiao Bai would have died, so Mr. Bai left the land deed Lead him to Xuanjing Apartment."

"That's right, the old man has figured it out and let me take over and help Xiaobai rebuild his body."

Jiang Chenglu touched his chin, showing a suddenly enlightened expression: "It is also in consideration of Xiaobai's sudden death that old man Bai asked Xiaobai to tattoo the wonderful voice that protects his soul on his back. bird!"

"I have a feeling that I was played by that old man. Why didn't he tell us directly? Are you afraid that we won't help him?" Hua Yang frowned and expressed his feelings at the moment.

But obviously, the old man's game is not over yet.
