Dream Maker [Rebirth]

"Master?!" Lu Ci said in surprise.

In Ji Wuzhou's memory, he never saw the shadow of Master from the beginning to the end!

Although the identities of the skeletons left in the room were difficult to identify, at least from the black hair color without any white silk, it can be concluded that they must be young classmates, and the master is not among them.And those fellow disciples died earlier than Luci. When Luci found out that he was "sick", the only survivor in the secret realm was the master. There is absolutely no possibility of the master being buried after his death. .

So, is Master alive or dead in the end?

If he died, where were his bones?

If he didn't die, where did he go?

At this moment, Lu Ci finally understood what Ji Wuzhou was looking for when he searched carefully in the secret realm at the end of his memory.

He is looking for Master.

But the master did not see the dead or the dead, as if he disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace.

When Ji Wuzhou saw that Lu Ci had already noticed something strange, he said: "I thought it was a plague just like you did after exploring your memory back then, but what I can't understand is why Master can't do anything about it. You also know that the reason why the hidden spirits were first discovered by the world is because a couple desperately sent a terminally ill baby down the river to Xihezhou. Sent to the secret realm and came back alive, since Master can cure even incurable diseases, why does he have nothing to do with this disease?"

Lu Ci was just about to remind that it was not a plague but a voodoo, but was interrupted by Ji Wuzhou: "I know what you want to say, but just because I now know that it is not a plague but a voodoo, the whole thing has changed. Even more strange."

Lu Ci didn't understand his meaning for a while: "Why?"

Ji Wuzhou was silent for a moment, as if he was considering how to explain to him, and then said: "Since you have been to the Illusory Gu Immortal Palace, you should have seen the sea of ​​red flame flowers with Gu insects, Misang Yaoyue When passing through the sea of ​​flowers, the flowers will give way by themselves, right?"

Lu Ci didn't know why he suddenly brought this up, but he still nodded.

Ji Wuzhou said: "I have been to Chiyan Flower Valley before, and the flower bushes also made way for me. The reason is very simple. After I left the island with the spiritual weapon, I passed through it to test the effect of the spiritual weapon. Illusory Gu Shayi, so the Gu worms raised in the Red Flame Flower can sense my approach."

Lu Ci was still at a loss, but it seemed that some idea was vaguely sprouting.

Ji Wuzhou went on to say: "The memory attached to the Quartet spirit weapon details the usage of each spirit weapon, and the part about the phantom gauze garment mentioned that anyone who wears that gauze garment will be with you from then on. There is an induction between the voodoo, and once it is close to the voodoo, it can perceive its existence, and similarly, the voodoo will also sense the existence of the other party, because of this, the red flame flower bush will make way for me."

Lu Ci thought for a while, and soon discovered the key point: "Just 'pass through'? Don't you have to wear it all the time?"

Ji Wuzhou nodded and said: "Yes, to manipulate the voodoo, you must wear a gauze garment, but to perceive the voodoo, you only need to 'pass through'. Even today, once there are voodoo around, I still have to wear gauze clothes." You can spot it immediately."

Hearing this, Lu Ci suddenly realized what Ji Wuzhou meant by "strangeness".

——The fourth mural in the Secret Room of Mirror Pool clearly records the picture of Master going out to sea to subdue evil spirits in the world 8000 years ago, and the master in that picture is wearing the Illusion Gu Shayi.

That being the case, he should be able to interact with the Gu.

Then when the secret voodoo broke out, how could he not realize that it was actually a voodoo?Or, he had already found out, but never told anyone from the beginning to the end?

Lu Ci felt a little blocked in his heart.

He knew that the story of "passing through the gauze can give birth to a sensory sensation" was definitely not fabricated by Ji Wuzhou, because it was too simple to verify it, all he had to do was ask his senior sister for proof or borrow a gauze for a try.

Then there is only one possibility left - the matter of Gu suffering back then was indeed known by the master but not spoken.

At this moment, he finally understood why Ji Wuzhou showed such an indescribable expression when he mentioned his master many times before.

Rao Lu Ci has always had unreserved trust in his master, and now he has to be suspicious of his master's mysterious disappearance and concealment of Gu troubles.

Looking at Lu Ci's dignified expression, Ji Wuzhou knew that he had already understood what he meant, but he did not continue to speak further.

In fact, he still has more thoughts about Master, but those are still just doubts and guesses. Before he finds conclusive evidence, he doesn't intend to let Lu Citu consume his mind.

"Go to bed first," Ji Wuzhou said, "It's useless to think too much, let's check it out, sooner or later the truth will come to light."

Lu Ci didn't say a word, he didn't have absolute confidence that he would find the answer in the end when facing the mysteries that were so complicated. There was a little sense of reassurance in his eyes.

That's right, we have to investigate further to find out whether there are any results. Instead of doubting and speculating here, it is better to recharge our batteries and wait for the investigation.

What's more, now that I am no longer fighting alone, isn't it a blessing that there is someone around me who can judge everything in detail?

Thinking of this, he slightly bent the corners of his mouth, took off his coat, shoes and socks and threw them aside, lifted the quilt and got in and rolled inside, leaving the outer half of the bed.

Ji Wuzhou followed him to lie down, raised his hand and extinguished the candle beside him, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.

The window sash was not covered, and the night wind blew through the treetops on the mountainside, and there was a soft rustling of leaves, accompanied by the sound of waves in the distance.

At this time, Lu Ci was not too sleepy. He stared at the dark void in front of him for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you tell the truth about the disintegration of the evil spirit back then?"

Judging from senior sister Misang Yaoyue's explanation of the "black-red aura" in the glazed pillar, she didn't know that it was "evil life", and naturally she didn't know its origin and harm. When it was handed over to them, there was no mention of the collapse of evil energy.

Ji Wuzhou said calmly: "All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. Instead of letting the people who hold the spiritual weapon know that the evil life obtained by the spiritual weapon cannot be used for themselves, wouldn't it be wise to let them think that they are earning life for themselves?" Try harder?"

Lu Ci was speechless for a moment, he had to admit that Ji Wuzhou thought much more clearly than him.

If a few senior brothers and sisters know that Xie Shou cannot be used, so they give priority to those talisman papers at the cost of "luck" and "memory" when choosing prayers, then the speed of withdrawing evil energy will be much slower, and Xie Shou will explode wantonly. It may also increase.

This has nothing to do with trust or not. Even if the brothers and sisters are trustworthy people, such uncontrollable things can easily become variables. Instead of using it to test the heart, it is better to eliminate the possibility of accidents from the source.

only……

Lu Ci said: "But in this way, wouldn't you have to bear the infamy all the time?"

If Ji Wuzhou directly explained the true purpose of the spiritual weapons back then, that they appeared in the world for the purpose of recovering and suppressing evil spirits, and that the acquired evil longevity could not be used by oneself, then the speculation of "taking the spiritual weapons for one's own benefit" is fundamentally wrong. If it won't be established, he doesn't have to bear this non-existent blame.

Ji Wuzhou sneered when he heard the words, and said disapprovingly: "What is there to be afraid of? Rumors and rumors are just commonplace for me. Even if I know everything, people who don't want to believe it will still misinterpret it as fabricated sophistry. It justifies itself. In this case, instead of wasting words in vain, wouldn't it be more interesting to appreciate how they can't understand me but have nothing to do?"

These words were obviously rebellious, but when they fell into Lu Ci's ears, it seemed that a small thorn from more than ten years ago had pierced his heart.

Yes, it is indeed commonplace.

Starting from the theory of "God of Plague" when he was young, all the time before Ji Wuzhou left the island was accompanied by rumors.

After the conflict with Senior Brother Yang that year, Lu Ci also thought about why he didn't explain, but he came to the conclusion that not everything in this world can be explained clearly, even if you have a clear conscience.

It may be easy to prove that you have done one thing, but it is more difficult to prove that you have not done one thing.

This is probably the truth that Ji Wuzhou has already been familiar with during that long period of time.

Lu Ci sighed almost silently, the movement was extremely slight, but it still fell into Ji Wuzhou's ears without a trace.

He understood why Lu Ci was sighing, and his heart was slightly warmed by this sigh, but he didn't want Lu Ci to continue to be entangled in this, so he changed the subject casually: "By the way, when you were in Qingzhou, you Why did you suddenly tell me that you are not Song Zhong?"

Although this question was to divert the topic, it was really something that confused him.

As Lu Ci expected, Ji Wuzhou's sudden stand in the rain on the river bank was indeed out of shock, but that shock was not because of the truth Lu Ci said, but because of his sudden confession.

Lu Ci participated in the Pardon Ceremony as Song Zhong, and entered Dumeng Fairy Palace as Song Zhong. Although he did not deliberately pretend to mislead, he did not seem to have the intention of revealing his identity.

Ji Wuzhou originally thought that he planned to live on as Song Zhong forever, but he was caught off guard by an earth-shattering confession. That's why after the initial shock, he couldn't help laughing and laughing. The three points in the smile were unclear. It was quite unexpected, mixed with a bit of unexpected joy, and a bit of joy of clearing away the clouds and mist.

In short, there are mixed flavors, so chaotic.

At this time, the old matter was brought up again, and Lu Ci's attention was immediately diverted, but when he remembered the reason for his impulsive confession at that time, he suddenly became a little incoherent: "I... because of...cough."

Ji Wuzhou heard that he hesitated to speak, but because she was really curious, she deliberately did not change the topic in an "understanding" manner, but asked, "Why?"

Seeing that Lu Ci couldn't fool the past, he had no choice but to take a deep breath, bite the bullet and said: "Because I found that your attitude towards Song Zhong was not like treating a stranger, and I inferred from what Mr. Mu said that you and him are indeed Acquaintance, I thought you two had a very close relationship, and your friendship was unusual, so..."

For some reason, this reason was obviously logical in his heart, but when he said it, he felt inexplicably sanctimonious, so much so that he was even a little ashamed to say it when he said the last sentence.

However, even though he didn't finish speaking, Ji Wuzhou still seemed to understand what he meant, and guessed: "So you don't want me to continue to mistake you for him and pay the wrong amount of friendship?"

The deer's speech is as angry as a thread: "Well——"

Ji Wuzhou was a little dumbfounded at the moment, he had never expected this to be the reason before, and he didn't know for a while whether he should lament that he was careless or that he had thought too much.

After a while, he finally gave a low laugh and said, "Young brother is indeed so principled."

The words were good words, but when he said them in a slow and half-smiling tone, it was clearly like teasing.

However, Lu Ci was already broken anyway, and he couldn't see his blush in the darkness at this moment, so he simply adhered to the principle that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water and said cheekily: "Thank you, thank you."

Hearing this, Ji Wuzhou laughed even more presumptuously. Although he didn't make much noise, Lu Ci clearly felt the slight tremor coming from his side.

After a while, Lu Ci finally couldn't hold back and started laughing, but he still said stiffly: "Is it that funny?"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pulled up the quilt covering the chests of the two of them, covering their heads tightly, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm asleep, I'm going to get up early!"

The night wind did not know when to stop amidst the laughter, but the waves were still lingering and lingering.

From midnight to dawn, from dawn to noon.
