Guanqingzhai

Xuan Mingzi knew that Hu Yue was already moved, he poured wine for the other party, and then said: "Life and death talisman."

Hu Yue's heart skipped a beat, thinking about the inexplicable Ishii, but he didn't show anything, just slightly raised his eyebrows, Xuan Mingzi naturally couldn't detect anything from such subtle emotions.

He continued: "On the surface, the function of this thing is nothing more than transforming death into life, and transforming life into death. But, it's only on the surface."

Hu Yue said, "This has something to do with Yun?"

Xuan Mingzi smiled and said: "That's right, the cloud I know now is a spell, each spell can be combined with the current spell to form a new spell, I don't know what it is called, because it has the word cloud The pattern, I call it the cloud curse. The life and death talisman is also a disguised form of the cloud curse, and it is the closest to the original form of the cloud curse I have collected, which is something that happened a hundred years ago."

Hu Yue hummed, and asked Xuan Mingzi to continue, Xuan Mingzi said: "But I found that I am not the only one who knows this curse. That's why I want to know what all the cloud curses will be when they are combined together. something like that."

Hu Yue sneered and said, "The sky is covered by colorful clouds?"

Xuan Mingzi rarely looked at Hu Yue seriously, and said, "No, I think it might be a place."

Just as Hu Yue was about to speak, Xuan Mingzi interrupted with his hand. He frowned and said with great concentration: "Maybe it's not a place, but a person? But I've already deciphered a part of it."

Hu Yue looked at Xuan Mingzi, and Xuan Mingzi took out a box from his arms. The box was so small that it could only hold a very small seal at most.He pushed in front of Hu Yue and said, "This is the sincerity I can show."

Hu Yue looked at the box and said, "This is?"

Xuan Mingzi said: "What I have deciphered, you can open it after I leave." After speaking, he stood up, drank the wine in the glass, picked up the ancient sword without scabbard on his back, and strode towards Go outside Guanqingzhai.When he reached the door, he stopped and stood there. After a long silence, he said, "Old fox, I really regard you as a friend. Do you... believe it?"

Hu Yue smiled softly, but did not answer.Xuan Mingzi raised his leg and stepped out of Guanqingzhai without looking back.

Hu Yue looked at the wooden box and said, "Another person who only talks half the words."

He opened the box, and inside the box was a finger of a person.There is a ring on the finger.And there are three words written in ink on the finger: life and death talisman.

Hu Yue suddenly thought of the strange tortoise shell he had brought back. He quickly took out the tortoise shell from the bag, and found that the tortoise shell would actually become smaller. The jade-like tortoise shell became smaller than before, only half the palm size up.

Hu Yue frowned slightly, then put the two things in front of him, suddenly he thought of what Xiaoer said about Mengling fetching water at night.He then placed the tortoise shell in a copper disc, and he filled the disc with water, and sure enough, the tortoise shell gradually became larger.But the water has become less, and the turtle shell is absorbing water.

On the second day, the tortoise shell was already about the size of a round basin.Hu Yue stayed up all night, he kept adding water to the turtle shell, and thought about why Xuan Mingzi would give him a severed limb. The ring on the severed limb did not have any unique marks, it was just an ordinary ring inlaid with beads.But after watching it all night, Hu Yue finally discovered the mystery

The severed finger is just a gimmick, but the key to why Xuan Mingzi came to Guanqingzhai to give it away is that he knew that Hu Yue had this tortoise shell.And the luster of this ring shines on the tortoise shell, and there will be a weird pattern, and the pattern can only be seen through the ring, but the pattern will have such obvious changes according to different times.

When Hu Yue stood up and opened the door of Guanqingzhai.It is already noon.He has been observing the change of this pattern from night to noon. It was midnight when Hu Yue got the tortoise shell, and at this time.It is already noon.It happens to be the image of Meridian hedging.At this moment, it contains the seven images, and the child returns to the afternoon image, which is actually a change in the six middle schools, and then it goes round and round.

Hu Yue was taken aback for a moment, this corresponds to the change of the twelve earthly branches.The change method of Liuhe Qiguo.

But what does this change mean?What does this have to do with Meng Ling?And why did Xuan Mingzi come here?

When Hu Yue was thinking deeply, the old fortune-teller who met in a hurry at the entrance of the restaurant yesterday flashed through his mind. He looked at Hu Yue with a kind of sadness and pain in his eyes.Why?And what did he mean by the old man?He knew Hu Yue, and Hu Yue knew him.

Hu Yue stood up, sealed the tortoise shell into the disc, and pressed a piece of jade on top of it. He looked at it and was worried about throwing it away. He drew a talisman on the stone with the blood of his middle finger, and then took the piece of jade away. Putting on a ring, he opened the door of Guanqingzhai, and was about to step out, but he didn't leave.He looked at the furnishings in the house and said, "How long have you lived here...?"

Hu Yue had a feeling that something would change when he stepped out of the door this time, and sure enough there was a person waiting at the door, and the one standing in front of him was Xiaoying.

Xiaoying bowed slightly towards Hu Yue and said, "Young Master Hu."

Hu Yue was a little surprised, he said, "Are you his?"

Xiaoying said, "Yes."

Hu Yue said: "There is a world of nets around me."

Xiaoying said: "As you can see, you can ask for everything."

Hu Yue said: "Then since you have identified yourself, can you tell me what the reason is?"

Xiaoying said: "What the national teacher means is that now he has completed all the things he can do. The key is still on the young master. If the young master still does not move, then our plan will be in vain, and the national teacher will not do it for you. If you give up, you will act even if you sacrifice your son and the national teacher."

Hu Yue glanced at Xiaoying, and then moved behind Xiaoying at a very fast speed. Hu Yue pointed at Xiaoying's life gate. Although her tone was still gentle, her words were threatening: "If If you hurt Hongqiao, then this game will be broken for you."

Xiaoying was taken aback, she lowered her head slightly, and resumed her usual respectful and docile appearance, saying: "Young master, please rest assured, I will not do anything against Miss. Miss has nothing to do with this matter, just ..."

Xiaoying turned her head to look at Hu Yue, and she said, "It's not the national teacher who will harm the young lady, but someone else."

Xiaoying took a step back, and she said, "My lord, I'm here because I want to ask you a question. If you can answer this question, I... can help you."

Hu Yue said, "Do you think I can trust you?"

Xiaoying replied straightforwardly: "No, but with my son's ability, as long as I say a few words, you will still find clues. Isn't it?"

Hu Yue said, "The reason?"

There was some hesitation in Xiaoying's eyes, and then she said, "I hope Miss is safe."

Hu Yue looked at Xiaoying, and Xiaoying said: "My lord, you should have discovered that the people around you actually met you by chance, including that Mr. Chu, but Mr. Chu is too strong, so the national teacher is very special Afraid. It is not only the national teacher who is afraid of him, but also other people. This caused the original layout to be completely disrupted by him alone. There are many people who want to inquire about the secret of 'cloud' on you. But just Even you yourself have forgotten the cloud."

Xiaoying said: "As for Miss...the national teacher didn't touch her, but...there are other people around the national teacher."

Hu Yue asked, "Who is it?"

Xiaoying bit her lip and said, "I don't know, but Young Master is at a fork in the road now, and there seem to be many clues in front of him. But now you seem to be on a cliff!"

Hu Yue looked into Xiaoying's eyes, and he asked, "What's your question?"

Xiaoying said: "If you need to sacrifice someone else to break the game, who will you sacrifice? Hongqiao or Chu Jue?"

Hu Yue hummed without answering.Xiaoying said: "It's Miss Sacrifice... After all, you love..."

Hu Yue interrupted him and said, "I will not sacrifice anyone."

Xiaoying looked at Hu Yue's back, bit her lips, seemed to have made up her mind, and her voice became decisive, she said: "The life and death talisman in your hand is the trump card given to you by the national teacher, it is a double-edged sword .You can even use the National Teacher's..."

Hu Yue waved his hand and said, "I won't sacrifice anyone, but..."

He turned around and looked at Xiaoying. Xiaoying took a few steps back frightened by his gaze. Hu Yue said: "I will not let anyone who uses me as bait go. Courtesy first, soldiers later, but it doesn't mean I don't Will fight back."

Xiaoying bowed slightly, and said, "Then please be careful, my lord, and remember what you said."

After speaking, Xiaoying walked back.

Hu Yue's eyes flashed, and he said, "It's another round. Or is it still in the original round?"

Hu Yue touched his forehead. He needed to clarify some things, but these things were going on at the same time, so he had to make a choice.The role of the life and death talisman in his hands has gradually begun to take shape, but it is not enough.Because all the meanings haven't been connected yet.

Hu Yue got up and prepared to go to the restaurant yesterday, maybe there is something he missed.

When Hu Yue arrived at the restaurant, it was closed. Hu Yue caught a passer-by to ask, and the passer-by said: "Restaurant? This restaurant just closed not long ago, and it has not been taken over yet. It is said that the son of the owner of the restaurant died suddenly, and then closed down. I guess. Some days there will be no business here.”

Hu Yue let go of passers-by, he looked at the seal, the date of the seal was only a few days ago, but yesterday he was still drinking in the restaurant.Hu Yue touched the door, and there was another voice behind him: You can't get in.You miscalculated yesterday.

I only heard his voice, but didn't see his person.Hu Yue took a few steps back, but was held back by a person.Hu Yue saw it, and he knew: "It's you."

'Xiao'er stood still and said, "Meet you again... Mr. Hu."

Hu Yue said, "You did all of this?"

'Xiaoer' said blankly: "Because you are too slow."

Hu Yue said, "Where is Mengling?"

'Xiaoer' said: "Mengling died a long time ago."

Hu Yue was taken aback, "Xiao Er" said with a sly smile: "How many people and things do you have that you can be sure of?"

Hu Yue's face gradually turned ugly, "Xiaoer" said: "Mr. Hu, do you still want to know about Mengling?"

Hu Yue stared at the person in front of him, and said, "I would like to hear more about it."

'Xiao Er' said: "Meng Ling has always been by your side, and has never left."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly put his hands on his shoulders, but then they disappeared, leaving only a few sinister laughter.There are several extremely long hairs in Hu Yue's hands, and the hair is still wet.

Looking up again, there is no one there, and everything is as if it never happened.

Hu Yue suddenly realized where the source of this incident was, and then walked towards the stone well that appeared, and saw the non-existent stone well there.

Ishii just appeared in this secluded alley, and seemed to have existed for a long time.Passers-by occasionally passed by, but no one noticed the abruptness of the well.

This is also the case with Hu Yue before, but this time when Hu Yue came around the stone well, he found that the stones around the stone well were not actually stones, these stones were part of the turtle shell, but they were just stuck to the edge of the well. It was dim and looked unmistakable as stone.

These tortoise shells absorb a small amount of water near the stone well.Hu Yue just took away one of the tortoise shells that fell off because of the water spray.

And a piece of tortoise shell is a life and death talisman. With so many life and death talismans, this is no longer a well, but a deep pit piled up by a bunch of human souls.

Hu Yue couldn't help but took two steps back, he didn't know what was down the well?

For the first time, he felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, because so many people's primordial spirits gathered here, it represented how many people could not be reincarnated, they were really just here.Never leave.And Meng Ling is the resentful spirit of the life and death talisman taken away by Hu Yue.

If all this is just a clue, it is just to draw out the 'cloud' that exists in Hu Yue's mind.

Hu Yue stabilized his mind, he walked towards the stone well step by step, every step Hu Yue seemed to be able to hear someone talking to him

"Go over, go over, you must go over."

"Only you can enter."

"All the secrets are with you, and you are the key."

Hu Yue felt that there were people standing beside him every step of the way. Some of those people were very familiar, as if they had gotten along with him in the past.

Some people are unfamiliar, but they seem to have known each other for a long time.His memory seems to be connected by something in this step by step.

He began to remember things, but the most important part of him seemed to be locked in the ground.He has to dig out these soils, these memories, these people.He can face the most important part.

But what he remembered in the process made him feel chilling. Could it be that those people's lives died because of him?

Hu Yue suddenly stopped beside a person, she was the woman who appeared in the mirror tower, she was dressed in plain clothes, her eyebrows were gentle, but there was no trace of blood, her face was as pale as white paper.

Hu Yue looked at her, and the woman looked at Hu Yue, silent, but her face was covered with blood and tears, and the red blood and tears were strange and fierce on her pale face.

But Hu Yue didn't feel scared, he just felt that a place in his heart was picked up.

He walked past the woman, he didn't know who else he would see, but every time he saw someone, something was forcibly inlaid in his heart.My originally empty heart became congested.

Hu Yue felt more and more heavy as he walked, was all this caused by him?Bai Ri also said that everyone should be considerate. If all the people here were killed by him, then what ability and qualification does he have to protect?

He fell to his knees and was only one step away from reaching the well.

The well was churning non-stop, and there seemed to be something trying to jump out, or trying to grab Hu Yue and drag him into it.

Hu Yue stopped, the pain in his heart caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead, but even so, he still gritted his teeth and stood up, taking another step to reach the well.

After taking another step, a person suddenly appeared in his mind, and he knelt down in front of Hu Yue, as if he would disappear at any moment.

That person was Chu Jue, and Hu Yue stopped all his movements instantly, as if he had stopped breathing.

At this moment, he was sweating profusely, and there were already many people standing behind him. These people were all dead and had become part of the life and death talisman.

But Chu Jue... Does he want Chu Jue to become such an existence?

Hu Yue turned his head, and a strange face appeared in front of him.It was a face that seemed to be crying and smiling, and almost all expressions could be seen on this face.

He said, "Why stop?"

Hu Yue said: "If I want to stop, I will stop."

"It's just one step away," he said.

Hu Yue said, "How about changing just one step away?"

The weirdo said, "You can know who you are."

Hu Yue asked: "And then?"

The weirdo's face became even more distorted, and his voice changed, he said: "Then you can really be without a trace of emotion."

Hu Yue clenched his fists, he closed his eyes, and meditated in his heart, the strength in his hands became heavier and heavier, his nails dug into his palms, and drips of blood came out, he stood there alone like a stone sculpture.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly opened his eyes.Everything is an illusion, and the people behind them melt like ice sculptures.Ishii in front of him is no longer there.

And the weird person behind him also disappeared, and everything no longer existed.All that remains is a sigh: You still can't see through.
