Angelica returns

Thinking like this, Zhou Tingyu struggled twice, but the rope on his body was not known what kind of material it was. Although it was not so abnormal that it got closer and closer, it was very strong, and it was impossible to break free, and it was also impossible to loosen.

"Sunbathing" was not very pleasant. After a while, Zhou Tingyu was sweating profusely and his face was flushed from the sun.

He suddenly began to not understand this part of the soul-drawing technique-is it easy to draw people's souls by drying them into dried salted fish? ?Or is it that Lu Yang can't get used to himself for many years, and he has to torture himself by changing the way? ?

Complaints abound.Still no one around.

What about Lu Yang?After trying so hard to tie himself to the altar, the result is just to hang out and see no one for a long time?

Zhou Tingyu squinted his eyes to avoid the glare of the sun, and sighed again——

I thought that the soul-drawing technique that Lu Yang had been brewing for so long would be full of vigor and vitality, but he didn't expect that besides sunbathing, it would be so boring at this time.

Come to think of it, it's really a bit of a price drop...

I was thinking about something and nothing, I couldn't find any fun, and the sun was rising higher and higher, Zhou Tingyu couldn't paralyze himself, he began to feel anxious——

Now that he is put on the back shelf, what about those people, Lu Yang, Lu Jin, Xiangyao, Yizhu, where have they all gone?With the telescope in his hand, Yi Huan couldn't sense himself for no reason!But why didn't it appear for a long time?

When he opened his eyes, he saw the golden light of the scorching sun, and when he closed his eyes, it was white and chaotic. Zhou Tingyu couldn't grasp any information from the outside world. His mind was filled with confusion and blankness, and speculations and conjectures diverged infinitely. Inevitably, his mind became messy and frightened. , eagerly hoped that there would be someone under him, even if it was someone who took his life.

And at this moment, there was a gurgling sound from the alchemy furnace below, as if the water was boiling, and the bubbles were boiling and bursting.

Zhou Tingyu tilted his head, looked down in an extremely uncomfortable posture, pressed the sunburn on his face, and felt a burning pain——

No one was there, only the lid of the alchemy furnace was flapping.

Zhou Tingyu couldn't care what it was, so he stabilized his mind, cheekily, and shouted almost in a normal way: "Hey, my friend, your name is great!"

Hearing this, the lid flapped again, and then fell silent, and soon a cowardly voice sounded—"You, you're not dead yet?"

Zhou Tingyu rolled his eyes, "I just came here not long ago, can I die so quickly?"

"I thought everyone who came here was the same."

"yes?"

Zhou Tingyu couldn't tell her that he was the head of an angelica in his previous life and had a special constitution, so he answered a question.

"……Um."

This is a girl, and a girl who is not good at words.

And although Zhou Tingyu has been famous for a long time, he is still familiar with the set of Fengyuechang back then.Talking to girls is his forte.

"Little sister, I'm really not dead yet. However, if there is no one who can shade me, I'm not far from drying up. Can you see my face? How can I see people when I'm about to be tanned? ..." Zhou Tingyu Gu Ying said with self-pity.

"But I... I'm already dead." The girl said. "Die last spring. I can't escape this stove..."

last spring?Zhou Tingyu was startled, and suddenly realized - isn't this the Jiji girl from Zhenshan Liushui Village!The one who is talking to me now should be the soul of this girl.

But why can the ghost of this girl alone speak?

So, Zhou Tingyu asked seriously: "Girl, where is your partner? They are other girls from Liushui Village."

"They are gone, and their souls are gone, and they have melted under my feet." The girl said, a little like to cry.

"Then why haven't you melted?" Zhou Tingyu just finished speaking, wishing to give himself a slap in the face, isn't this the same as wishing for a girl to melt away? ?

But the girl didn't mind, and replied: "There is soul-transforming water in the stove, and my sisters asked me to stand on it, so I didn't melt it so fast."

"Soul Transforming Water?" Zhou Tingyu raised his eyebrows, thinking, this stove is not used for alchemy, but for boiling water.What does it mean to put yourself here? ?

"Brother, can you save me..." The girl's voice was soft and waxy, "Although I only have a soul left, my parents said that if I have a soul, I can be reincarnated. I don't want to be melted into this furnace..."

Hearing this, Zhou Tingyu could only smile wryly, and said, "Little sister, brother is in danger now, and the situation is no better than yours."

After finishing speaking, the girl's sigh came from below.

Always leaning in the same direction, Zhou Tingyu's neck was almost stiff, adjusted to the other side, and then looked down, he couldn't help being startled——

From this angle, you can see the girl's bright and dark eyes through the small ventilation hole on the stove.

Zhou Tingyu: "You can see me, right?"

"visible."

"You haven't told me if my face is disfigured?"

"A little red, it doesn't hurt."

Zhou Tingyu nodded reassuringly, "That's good."

Immediately, he returned to the topic, became serious again, and asked, "Girl, how long have you been here?"

"After the soul left the body, I have been in this pill furnace for more than a year."

Hearing this, Zhou Tingyu suddenly realized - this is really not the altar ten miles away from the city!

The construction of the altar started last spring and was completed in the summer. It took more than a year, and the time was not right at all!

Thinking about it, Zhou Tingyu calmed down and said calmly, "Girl, do you know where this is?"

The girl shook her head.

"You saw it when I came, didn't you?"

girl nods...

"Then did you see a woman in a white dress?"

The girl shook her head again, "That person sent you up. There are no women."

"That person is Lu Yang, right?!"

Xu Shi only knew about Lu Yang, but she didn't know his name. After hesitating for a while, she nodded slightly and said, "I've only met two people since I came here. In fact, the one who sent you up didn't come here very often. , there has always been another person monitoring us.”

The other one, Li Qian, was dead.

But what the girl said was like a blow to the head.Zhou Tingyu suddenly realized why he couldn't find himself——

This place is not within the scope of ordinary people's cognition at all. It is not nothingness that is better than nothingness, and the strong light above the head is not the sun that is better than the sun.Li Qian was the only person who knew besides Lu Yang. Once he died, the only clue would be lost.

Beforehand, the manipulated Xiangyao kept saying that he would take himself to the altar as ordered.

Her destination must be the altar.Then, Lu Yang took him and brought him here, but there was no one there, did he turn back to the altar again?

He already got himself, so why go to the altar?For a lunatic like him, shouldn't he directly smash his own soul and swallow it together with the soul transforming water?

There are many doubts and no conclusion.The strong light above the head is life-like, hotter and hotter, burning the muscles and bones through the thin clothes, as if rotting insects are growing all over the body, gnawing at every inch of skin wantonly, avoiding it is inevitable and merciless.

Zhou Tingyu gradually couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to shrink his exposed palms into his sleeves, but he moved his fingers with difficulty, only to realize that his wrists were tied tightly and he couldn't move at all.

In the beginning, the scorching sun was the day of hoeing, and the pampered nobles like Zhou Tingyu felt uncomfortable because they were not used to it.

But now the strong light is hot and scorching, and the skin and flesh of the whole body are covered with filamentous marks, and the unstoppable sweat seeps in, the pain is comparable to torture.

He felt like a lamb in a steamer, about to be cooked and served on the table as a delicacy.

For delicious food... Zhou Tingyu hopes that his appearance will not be too bad.

He kept muttering in his mouth: "You can't disfigure your face, you can't leave scars, you can't be bloody and bloody beyond recognition... you can't... you can't..."

But gradually, Zhou Tingyu's throat began to tighten, his tongue was dry and his lips were burnt. Every time he read a word and took a breath, his throat hurt, smoke seemed to be coming from the top of his head, and his eyes were out of focus.

The pain all over the body then became ambiguous.Beads of sweat trickled down the corner of his clothes on the alchemy stove, tick-tock, Zhou Tingyu raised his eyelids with difficulty, not letting himself fall asleep.

"elder brother……"

Zhou Tingyu looked down vigorously, and found that the girl's soul was reduced to only the upper half, squeezed out of the pill furnace, and the previous eyeball-sized furnace hole became a foot wide.

"Your sweat dripped on the alchemy furnace, and the furnace hole melted." The girl explained to him.

Hearing this, Zhou Tingyu wanted to smile smugly, boasting that his sweat was so magical.

But for a while, my throat was dry and it was difficult to speak;

Secondly, Angelica Xianshou was covered in treasures, and it was nothing to be surprised when the sweat melted on the stove, and then he only hooked the corners of his mouth to show that he understood.

The girl floated half of her body, and said again: "Brother, the light here will corrode the body and draw out the soul. This is how the souls of me and my sisters were drawn out."

Zhou Tingyu gritted his throat and uttered a few words weakly: "Is there a way to get me down?"

"...I'll try." The girl said as she floated below Zhou Tingyu, trying to break the rope on his body, but she dragged the saw, and after all kinds of attempts, the knot still wouldn't move.

Before Zhou Tingyu could say anything, the girl quickly floated above him.Being surrounded by half of the soul, small and transparent like a gauze, although it can't bring a piece of shade, but it is somewhat blocked. For Zhou Tingyu, it is nothing but a great comfort.

The girl said: "These blazing lights only destroy the body, not the soul. I see that you have a kind face, but you are also a fallen person in the world. I will help you to block it until you find a better way."

Zhou Tingyu blinked slowly and thanked her.

In less than half an incense stick, the light source became hotter again, and the wounds on Zhou Tingyu's body began to ooze blood, which was printed on the semi-wet white robe, like hibiscus flowers torn in the snow.

The girl frowned and blamed herself: "It's not an option to procrastinate like this..."

"...go," Zhou Tingyu's voice was hoarse and dry, "Qiongzhi, ten miles out of the city, the altar... find one, the one in red... called... why call..."

Without delay, the girl immediately took off her coat, put it on Zhou Tingyu to block the light, and said: "I remember, it's ten miles away from the city, how can I find it?"

"Go and come back."

After saying these four words, the figure of He Yihuan echoed in his mind, Zhou Tingyu took a nap, and closed his heavy eyes.
