Fengqi Nancheng

When Lin Heng woke up, he was in an empty room.

With his eyes closed, he vaguely heard the voice of someone talking not far away. The voice seemed to be blocked by something, and it sounded a little fuzzy.

He opened his eyes, but his consciousness was still at the moment when he fell into the water, and he couldn't get back to his mind for a while.

He moved his fingers subconsciously, his body was a little stiff, feeling cold and damp.The place under the palm was a cold iron plate. He guessed that he should be lying on a metal bed, so he struggled to sit up and have a look.

As soon as he moved, he found that he was not simply lying here, to be precise, he was tied to it.

His limbs were firmly clasped by four metal rings, and a belt around his waist fixed his body, preventing him from moving.

He turned his neck with difficulty, trying to see the scene around him, but he found that there was nothing around him.

In this empty and huge room, apart from the metal bed under Lin Heng, there was nothing extra.

This empty environment made Lin Heng feel uneasy.He gradually recalled the scene after falling into the water. Before his consciousness became blurred, he saw that someone seemed to be approaching him... Was it that person who saved him?

That person could never be Gui Qi, but if it wasn't Gui Qi, then who would it be?

Could it be that when he and Gui Qi were talking on the edge of the cliff that night, there was another person nearby?

Lin Heng didn't know.

In fact, he didn't have much speculation about the person who tied him here.

After being rescued from a near-death moment, his thoughts have changed a lot.

He tried to move his body again, and he could feel that although his body was weak, he was not injured, and the reason why he was weak was probably due to lack of sleep and soaking in the water for a while.

Maintaining the restrained posture for a long time made Lin Heng's muscles a little stiff. He moved his wrist and was thinking about whether he could try to open the metal ring that fastened him, when he heard the door behind him being pushed open suddenly. .

Lin Heng turned his back to the direction of the door. Because he was fixed on the bed, he could only move his neck left and right, and could not turn around to look at people.He heard the man pause at the door first, then slowly walked towards him.

The man's footsteps were very steady, with a kind of leisurely complacency that he was sure of winning. He walked in calmly, pressed the button on the wall behind him and turned on the overhead light, and the dazzling white light shot into Lin Heng's eyes all of a sudden. He closed his eyes reflexively.

"Too bright? I'm sorry." Seeing Lin Heng's reaction, the man smiled and said modestly, but he didn't intend to turn off the light at all.He walked over slowly: "However, you will like it after a while."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Lin Heng couldn't help but tremble the moment he heard this person's voice.

"Uncle Gu." The stimulation of the light gradually faded, Lin Heng slowly opened his eyes, looking at the well-maintained middle-aged man in front of him, complex emotions flashed in Lin Heng's eyes.

Gu Yi smiled and nodded.He walked to Lin Heng, touched the metal ring on Lin Heng's ankle, and said with a smile: "What I like most about you is that you are always polite no matter what time it is."

Lin Heng closed his eyes and said patiently: "You saved me?"

"Ah, that's right." Gu Yi rubbed his chin and sat down on the edge of the metal bed. He was a little dissatisfied: "I really didn't expect you to commit suicide. I have worked so hard to train you for so many years, How can I just watch you die... If you die, who will complete my plan?"

"I won't do that again, let me go." Lin Heng said coldly.

"There is no basis for my words, why should I believe you?" Gu Yi said with a smile: "But you don't have to worry, of course I have a more important purpose for arresting you here."

Lin Heng said vigilantly: "You want to wake up the resentful spirit body? Isn't it time yet?"

Gu Yi ignored his question, instead he looked at Lin Heng with satisfaction for a while, and suddenly said: "Xiao Heng, be good, after we get the resentful spirit body out, you can live your life well."

Lin Heng took a deep breath: "Why are you doing this?"

"If you don't understand, I won't explain it to you." Gu Yi patted Lin Heng reassuringly: "My son is outside, and he is still waiting for the matter to end and take you away."

Lin Heng took a deep breath and paused word by word: "Qi Yuan...was also involved in this matter?"

"Yes." Gu Yi nodded in satisfaction: "Speaking of which, he was responsible for the case of Bai Qin in your school." He paused for a moment, then remembered something: "Oh, yes, there is also your second case." Uncle's case is the same."

"So, Qi Yuan is quite capable?" He tilted his head to look at Lin Heng, and asked with a smile, "Is it?"

Lin Heng gritted his teeth: "Why?"

"Because of you." Gu Yi laughed: "My son is a lover, for you, he is willing to do anything."

"For me?" Lin Heng laughed angrily: "This is the so-called 'for me'? For me what? For me to kill everyone around me? Drive me to a dead end?!"

"No, your thinking is too simple." Gu Yi said slowly: "If you don't strip the resentful spirit body from your body, you will not live to be 30 years old in this life."

Lin Heng was taken aback.

"Your body is a container for the spirit body, and the container has an expiry date. Your expiry date is exactly 30 years. After 30 years, you will return to the baby state, just like the rebirth of the phoenix from Nirvana...you will always It won't die, but you'll keep living it and then forgetting."

Lin Heng didn't expect Gu Yi to say such a sentence, and he didn't know how to react for a while. He replied indiscriminately: "What do you mean? Why won't I die?"

"This, it started a long time ago." Gu Yi smiled, looked at Lin Heng's bewildered face, shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, I might as well tell you. In case you don't understand at the end, It can be regarded as a little love from me as your elder in this life."

"When the Gu family was making the wraith body, they tried many times without success. Gu's family exhausted all kinds of methods, and finally found some records in an ancient book that were similar to the method of refining the wrath body. In that book It is mentioned in the article that the most basic requirement for refining the wraith body is the need for a "pure yin body", but it is very rare to see people with this system. The Gu family spent a lot of energy and finally found it in the Feng family's family. A person with such a system, in order to get this person, the Gu family did not hesitate to launch the first war after the separation of the two families. Of course, in the end, the Gu family's goal was achieved and that person was obtained." Speaking of this, Gu Yi paused For a moment, it seemed to be recalling: "If I remember the person correctly, that person should be called Pei——"

"Pei Fengheng." Lin Heng murmured.

"Yes. That's the name." Gu Yi nodded approvingly: "You really remembered."

Lin Heng's face was pale, and he asked softly, "This person... is the resentful spirit body?"

"No. Why do you think so?" Gu Yi gave Lin Heng a strange look, and said something that completely overturned all Lin Heng's previous inferences: "——this person is you."

Lin Heng raised his head abruptly, and looked at Gu Yi in disbelief: "Why, how could it be me?"

"Why not you?" Gu Yi laughed: "At the beginning, Pei Fengheng's body was too poor, and it would fail after half of the refinement. I wanted to be an abandoned child, but the head of the Gu family at that time was very foresight-a body of pure yin Too few, it’s rare to find one who can’t give up easily, so I tried every means to save him and keep him for later emergencies.”

"Later, after a long time, the Gu family finally found another person who met the requirements, and this time they finally succeeded." Gu Yi sighed again and again: "So I have to admit that the wisdom of the predecessors is really great-when the spirit of resentment After the successful refining, the powerful power it brought shocked the Yin-Yang world at that time. Not long after, many families in the Yin-Yang world united to launch a battle against the Wraith Spirit Body. The scale of the battle was unprecedented, that is, After that time, the Wraith Spirit Body was too damaged to condense into shape. In order to prevent the Wraith Spirit Body from dissipating, the Gu family could only find ways to preserve the Wraith Spirit Body. They quickly thought of Pei Fengheng who was imprisoned ——Pei Fengheng's system itself is pure yin, which is the closest to the wraith body, and it is perfect to use him as a container for the recovery period of the wraith body."

"However, there is still a problem here: the breath contained in the Wraith Spirit Body cannot be tolerated by ordinary people's bodies. Even if Pei Fengheng has a pure Yin system and can accept the Wraith Spirit Body, it cannot last for a long time. At most 30 In a few years, his body will reach a limit. At that time, where will the Gu family go to find another pure yin body to store the resentful spirit body? Even if they find it, the recovery of the resentful spirit body will not be achieved in a short period of time. What about the next 30 years? What about the next one?"

"Facing this situation, the head of the Gu family at that time used a forbidden technique. He had sacrificed himself and put a layer of curse on Pei Fengheng's body—every 30 years, when Pei Fengheng's body reached the limit, He will automatically return to the baby state, and all vital signs and memories will be reset to zero. He will not die, but will reincarnate endlessly for 30 years."

When Gu Yi said this, he looked at Lin Heng lovingly: "However, this kind of fate should stop with you."

"As long as the resentful spirit body is awakened smoothly, then you can completely get rid of this fate and live the rest of your life peacefully." Gu Yi sighed: "This is also the goal my son has been working hard for for so many years-he can I haven't thought about it for me as a father, all I can think about is how to keep you alive... Even because of this reason, he has been holding back even his feelings for you, just wanting to wait until everything is resolved Let me tell you what he thinks." Speaking of this, Gu Yi shook his head: "But I didn't expect that you would be snatched away by someone who came in halfway. It's a pity for his hard work for so many years."

After Gu Yi finished speaking, Lin Heng didn't speak for a long time.He was immersed in the shock brought by what Gu Yi said, and couldn't recover for a while.

Before hearing these words, Lin Heng never thought that things would turn out like this—it was completely different from what he thought before.

He was silent for a long time, and then asked a question hoarsely:

"You just said 'if it goes well', then... what if it doesn't go well?"

Gu Yi smiled, and said nonchalantly: "If it doesn't go well... then the resentful spirit body will completely replace Li. From then on, there will be no more Lin Heng in the world."

Lin Heng thought for a while, and then asked: "Actually, the chance of success is very low, even so low that it is almost non-existent, right?" He said softly, "Even if you don't, you won't tell me this at all."

Gu Yi smiled again, but didn't speak.At this time, Lin Heng heard footsteps coming from outside, Gu Yi stood up, walked to Lin Heng's side, bent down and gently smoothed the messy hair on Lin Heng's forehead, he leaned close to Lin Heng's ear, and whispered Said: "Yes. So, you are destined to be a victim."

After he finished speaking, he straightened up again, straightened his clothes, turned around and walked to the door.

Lin Heng looked at the ceiling above his head, the light was still dazzling, but he didn't have the slightest intention to dodge.He opened his eyes wide, feeling the soreness in his eye sockets, and the physical tears after being stimulated by the light gradually filled his eye sockets.He looked at it blankly, and then tears rolled down his cheeks to his ears.

The door opened, and two people entered.

Lin Heng didn't pay attention, in fact, he didn't want to pay attention to anything now.His heart was full of remorse and self-blame. He remembered the phone call he made to Nan Yucheng on the edge of the cliff before. The other party wanted to explain repeatedly, but Lin Heng was unwilling to listen.

Now that I think about it, if I had listened to him before, maybe... I wouldn't have come to this point.

The truth they have been unwilling to tell themselves all along, it turns out... it is really out of protection.
