Chapter 117 Winning

In Luoxia Mountain Villa in the night, the old cat that quickly crawled in from under the window was digging under the desk and pulling the things in the Jinheng drawer. There were a few old strange books that were gently rolled up at the corners, and the nibs were almost dry There are old cinnabar pens and personal seals of different sizes. Besides, only a yellowed photo and a diary are carefully pressed at the bottom.

Because the photo is on the back, so the first thing you see is that there are a few words on the back that belong to the child's record date.

And as long as you turn over the photo again, you can find that there are actually several small red characters marked in the same handwriting on the front of the photo, including 'grandpa', 'sister' and 'me', and on the side of the photo , and the names 'Uncle Dong' and 'Aunt Zhang'.

But what is extremely strange is that the places marked in red letters, except for a pair of children standing in the place of 'sister' and 'me', the other places are empty, and there seems to be no one there. Only a pair of young siblings were left clinging to each other in the middle and looking out of the camera.

And maybe because of the long history, the child who looks like a younger brother is still very young. At a glance, he is short and can only be hugged by his smiling sister with his head bowed, like a serious and firm but very A shy bunny.

But even so, it can still be seen that there is still a lot of subtle happiness on his taut little face.

It's just that this situation fell into the eyes, but it only made the eyes of the old cat curled up on the table more sad. It took a long time for it to sniff its nose gently, and whispered softly on the table.

"Silly boy……"

With such a sigh, the study seemed to be completely silent. The old cat, who tidied up the messy drawers inside, picked up the things he wanted and jumped out of the window of the Jin residence.

And then hurried all the way through the silent Luoxia Mountain, and finally found a private house in Sanliang Hutong on the night-lit streets of Yangchuan City. The old cat was anxious to confirm that he should have found the right place. He squatted on the ground and knocked on the door, and after seeing the door of the small yard slowly opened, he revealed a pale and aging face.

But I was going to say something to the woman in front of me, but I saw Feng Zhichun, who had a look of fear inside, and subconsciously prepared to close the door. The old cat with a bad temper immediately blocked the door with beard and stare, and opened his mouth sharply. road,

"Why are you hiding from me on purpose! Daughter of the Ying clan!!"

When it yelled so loudly, Feng Zhichun, who was so startled, also fell to the ground and shivered, and when he saw this, he became even more angry, and the old cat opened his mouth with his beard trembling. road,

"I know that you want to be a mortal... you don't want to be a snake girl... and you don't want to live a life of being rejected at a young age... Qin Xuan raped a girl from the Ying family in the forest that day and gave birth to your mother's first child An ancestor, your mother's ancestors were tortured and driven away by the people of the Ying family full of disgust, and finally came to the world for so many years... But it is exactly like this, your mother's Feng family just escaped the Ying family The catastrophe of annihilation, and being protected by a good old man like Lao Qin, he has lived until now... But Qin Xuan's blood has survived on your mother's side since then..."

"..."

"Your mother can't forget the hatred of your ancestors, so she has always hated snakes, so she beat you since you were a child. You were afraid of what it would be like to be a snake girl, so you desperately gave up the snake tail to marry a mortal, but the first life The child that came down was still a snake in the end, which reminded you of the pain of being abused by your own mother since childhood, and you resolutely threw that child away... But have you ever thought that your heart is bitter, and your heart is full of pain? It's hatred, but all the tortures you suffered many years ago, in the end, it all happened to your son because of you... Qin's resignation to your Dragon Mother back then is to let you understand that when Dragon Mother finds out that she is ashamed of her child, she can't wait Immediately die heart, help those two children resolve the years of enmity between Si Shi and Qin Shi in person as soon as possible, but you, look at yourself... what have you done..."

"I... I... I don't know... I don't know anything... Don't ask me!!!"

She didn't dare to lift her head after being taught by this bad-tempered old cat. Feng Zhichun's own life experience and the real reason for abandoning Gentiana Qin have not been exposed all this time, so now that Mao Mao has been brought up again, the expression on her face is naturally flustered and nervous. Very, just yelling like a madman.

Seeing this, the old cat only seemed to be pacing back and forth very irritablely, and pointed its paw aggressively at Feng Zhichun's nose before saying,

"How dare you say that you don't know anything! But any mother who cares about her child a little bit! She should know that a child who doesn't like to cry is deliberately crying at you! How much she wants to get your attention! How much she wants you Give him some care! Such a living, bloody heart! When your son dug it out for your family, you didn’t feel ashamed! I don’t blame you for thinking you’ve been confused for so many years, I just ask Tell me, do you know that when your son was in the orphanage, he would wait outside with an umbrella every time it rained?"

"……umbrella?"

"A very broken umbrella with plum blossoms painted on it. He has carried it with him for many years. Do you remember anything?"

When the staring old cat said this, Feng Zhichun's face turned pale, because she suddenly remembered that she had seen that umbrella before.

And at that moment, tears of sadness fell down her cheeks. Seeing her regretful appearance, the old cat with snow-white body and golden eyes looked coldly at the sky full of red moon and said, ,

"The millet sprouted on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and the dragon in the sky is about to die... If you can still stand up, go to the Yin Division with me now! Don't rush there! Your son who has been infatuated and affectionate all his life... I'm afraid If I can’t think of it, I will die in love with my poor little grandson!!”

……

The reptile's cold and damp breathing sound is still ringing strangely above the head. Among the countless intertwined openings of the turtle's nest, a giant black dragon mainly composed of white bones and carrion is wriggling its rattling neck, looking around. watching its just-lost prey.

Its eyes without a trace of reason are filled with blood red, its bones are rotten and foul-smelling black ash, and above the rugged and terrifying dragon head is a pair of black dragon horns that symbolize power. Its mouth is still muttering intermittently,

"Treasure, treasure, the treasure I have been looking for for so many years, the treasure that I have bitten to pieces..."

But obviously, apart from itself, no one in this world can know what the treasure belonging to the ancient Nian beast is.

And at the same time that it slowly squirmed under the hole, it clearly felt the wick passing by the huge monster above its head, Jin Jingzhi and Jin Heng, who had their eyes tightly closed, also had different complexions. Off-site posted on the 'door' motionless.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that the wet bone dragon tail was finally heading in another direction at the end, that the old man with a pale face pressed against the 'door' suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Jin Jingzhi with red eyes in disbelief. open the mouth,

"Tell me well... What's wrong with Jin Heng... You just met the one who just passed down below... That's right... Didn't you say that you successfully resisted for a while with clam oil... How could it be like this..."

"...We did go down together just now, and then...we met Meilang who was lying on the edge of Longchi...and saw the possessed old haunted lord, but it was really too powerful, There was nothing we could do about it, we could only be dragged out of Longchi, and it was the mussel oil left over by the teacher who saved me... and the situation at that time was terrible, so I took His Royal Highness before The mirror that was given to me was dropped in Longchi, and my surnamed teacher was bitten by the old evil master in order to get the mirror back..."

"..."

"Later when we climbed up, we heard you and Police Officer Liao calling for help. We decided to rescue you first, but Mr. X insisted that I would not let me tell you that he was actually bitten by a black dragon...and not I know why... the black dragon possessed by the old haunted master seems to be very obsessed with the surname teacher, and has been chasing us non-stop, still shouting something in his mouth, treasure..."

"...Jin Jingzhi."

Jin Jingzhi's words were suddenly interrupted by a loud voice. Jin Heng, who was covered in blood and was still holding the broken mirror in his hand, forced himself to sit up a little while saying this.

And noticing that Jin Jingzhi bowed his head guiltily and didn't say anything else, he clearly felt more and more mollusk wriggling sounds circling the entire interior of the turtle nest, and Jin Heng, who had almost no strength in his body due to blood loss, covered it. Looking at his chest with a bloody hole, he frowned and muttered,

"I'm fine for the time being... The key now is to solve... a series of problems between the old evil master and the Dead Man River..."

"...but your injury...looks...and why did you say those things on purpose just now to drive that kid away..."

The old man's face was full of puzzlement and worry, but Jin Heng with gray lips couldn't answer him at all, and pressed his cold and still heart tiredly and fell silent for a long time. Only then slowly opened his mouth and said,

"We have been to the Three Body Kingdom together before, so one of the queens of the Three Body Kingdom knew him. I gave him the Yao surname book, and he should be able to save the child. Other things... I don't know for now. I have no way to answer you, but you must tell me right now, what did you see at Longchi before... and what exactly did you hear Mei Lang and that old evil master..."

Hearing what Jin Heng said, he also realized the seriousness of the matter, and thinking that the old lord would leave and come back at any time, the old wick couldn't help but look at the candle holder in front of him with a complicated expression, and he sighed for a long time. open the mouth,

"I followed what you said before to find those disappeared female ghosts...but when I went down to Longchi, I saw a black shadow on the sundial attached to Meilang, who seemed to want to kill Meilang." ... Later, the shadow group mentioned Gentiana Qin, and for some reason mentioned the names of Brother Meilang and Empress Hua, so I was sure that the monster who wanted to kill Meilang was the old evil master..."

"Old Suspicious Lord? But Meilang didn't... Didn't he say that he was the old Sudden Lord's confidant?"

Perhaps it was because Meilang hadn't recovered from the face that Meilang had been stalking and staring at them before, so Jin Jingzhi, who was also pale, couldn't hold back his own question, and the old man who heard the words only Slowly speaking in a complex manner,

"It's a close friend, but it may not be completely loyal. The world has always been dominated by the capable, otherwise, how could there be so many incidents in just a few decades... And don't forget Zhang Fengqing, and your master Qin Yu back then. But they are also the trusted followers of the old haunted master..."

"This, this is actually..."

As if feeling convinced, Jin Jingzhi with a sad face touched his nose in the mirror complicatedly and stopped talking. After shaking his head, the old man Dengxian looked at the side with a disconcerted expression because of Gentiana Qin's name. Good Jinheng said again,

"However... I didn't understand why Meilang brought Qin Xuan here without telling me... Looking at the situation now, he should also feel that the old haunted master will kill him sooner or later, so he gave himself the same. Leaving such a way out..."

"The back road?"

Seeing Jin Jingzhi's question in doubt, Jin Heng, who was silent on the side, also moved his bloody shoulder a little bit, and raised his eyes to look at the two people in front of him, and frowned again, feeling pain all over his body. The white-haired young man who couldn't breathe spoke out,

"...that old haunted lord has been wanting to resurrect his physical body since a long time ago...but he probably knows that once he dies, no matter whether he is a human or a ghost, he can never be resurrected...so before he He could only order Meilang to help him find a way to revive everywhere, but Meilang quietly brought Qin Xuan's bones and the soul of the old villain to the River of the Dead... This is because this place is located in the underworld, and it is not easy for outsiders to If you find it, you can escape the investigation of both me and Qin Geng. Second... I am afraid that Meilang is afraid that if the old evil master wants to kill him one day, he can also use Ying's Yin Corpse to resist Si's anger... and At that time, he would have the opportunity to escape here by himself..."

Jin Heng's words were obviously inferred from the scene he saw in Longchi and the words of Lamp Wick, but Jin Jingzhi, who didn't know the details of some things before, was obviously confused when he heard it. He obviously didn't understand and asked in a low voice,

"Whether it's a human or a ghost... once you die, you can't be resurrected? This sentence seems wrong, if I remember correctly, didn't Deng Lao once help His Highness Chong to resurrect his mother, his stepfather, and at that time? Little Shi Xiaoguang..."

"..."

What Jin Jingzhi said was tantamount to poking the old man's sore foot again, so he glared at the kid with a stinky face and gritted his teeth. With a depressed face, he said,

"It was your master who traded his own life back then, and the risk itself was very high. It was his own good luck that he survived, and it has nothing to do with me... And the one who really helped him achieve this is actually not me at all. , to be precise, it should be another treasure that was still in the hands of the old evil master at that time, but I was in charge of guarding it as the lamp keeper on weekdays."

"What, what?"

"'Nian', that is, the only weak point 'Nian' that can kill the old evil master."

As soon as the white-haired young man said this, the two people in front of him were silent with strange expressions on their faces. After a pause, the pensive Jin Heng just slowly took out the previous reincarnation booklet from his sleeve. Zhang Fengqing's The flute and wick, the useless candle holder, picked up the candle holder blankly, and then slowly said,

"Those two things...were they placed here to face each other at the very beginning?"

"You actually... actually found it!"

Probably because he did not expect that Jin Heng would really find his own candle holder, the old man Wick picked it up emotionally and took a look at it, and couldn't help but get red eyes when he looked at it.

Seeing this, Jin Heng, who kept his eyes tired from the beginning to the end, just nodded, and then he picked up the Si surname book in his sleeve and said slowly as if he had made up his mind,

"Although the method Meilang came up with to protect himself has limitations, it is indeed possible to use those ghost corpses to lock the evil master and Qin Xuan's bones back into Ying's door at once... ...But there must be a person to find a way to lure it away first, and then cut off the roots of the corpses outside from the river. You will go out from the two paths of this 'gate' later, and one will go outside to find stones. Xiaoguang and the female tamarin will get rid of the roots of the corpses under the mud... One will go to Liao Feiyun and take the female ghost who is still in the prison..."

"So... so you plan to lure away the old haunted master yourself? But... but you are like this now..."

"There's no one better suited to do this than me."

"You... what do you mean..."

Vaguely aware of the abnormality in Jin Heng's words, the old man Dengwick and Jin Jingzhi looked at each other, but they dared not speak easily, and they never took the initiative to touch the white hair of the reincarnation book from the beginning to the end. The young man moved his finger suddenly, and while raising his bloodshot eyes, he pointed slowly at the two of them,

"Turn this booklet back to where it was about 20 years ago."

"20 years ago? But Shuchuanzi and Guichai both said... Isn't it only possible to see what happened in the past ten years..."

"There is only one book of reincarnation in this world. The time and life and death that anyone wants to see are all controlled by their own thoughts... That ghost messenger is just taking advantage of Meilang's ignorance of the truth, and has been misleading them to find these ten people. It's just what happened in the past few years... In fact, they only need to go back to 20 years ago, and they may be able to find the problem with everything..."

As Jin Heng said this, the old man with an ugly face slowly raised his hand, and as the pages of old books were opened, the smell of moths and the paper itself came little by little until reincarnation When the booklet finally stopped on a certain page, he and Jin Jingzhi raised their heads to look at Jin Heng with a pale complexion, but Jin Heng only looked down at the two familiar names on that line, After lowering his head and closing his eyes, he said softly, wearily,

"From the time I can remember when I was a teenager, I was told that my biological parents had died a long time ago."

"The dead can't be resurrected at all, no matter what method in this world is used, I didn't fully understand this when I was a child, so I always asked people again and again, but I couldn't learn from those people whose faces were full of sympathy and intolerance. People get a little answer from their mouths."

"Fortunately, I had an older sister by my side at the time, and her name was... Jin Shu."

"Because I lost my parents early, my personality was once very withdrawn. I didn't have many friends at school, and I was often forced to transfer schools because of personality problems. At that time, Jin Shu, who was still young, wanted to comfort me. I will often draw some lifelike villains on paper for me to see."

"Jin Heng and Jin Shu have families on paper, they are no longer alone, they no longer live in a house where the sky hangs around all day, they are fulfilled and happy every day."

"What's even more amazing is that as time went by, the 'little people' drawn by my sister on these papers actually came down from the paper, claiming to be 'Grandpa', 'Aunt Zhang', 'Old Man'. Dong' or something like that, and then accompany Jin Shu and me to have a family dinner."

"At that time, I didn't know what was unreasonable about all of this, but I just immersed myself in the satisfaction of having my family again, and over time, I actually took all of this as real. "

"Later, as I grew up day by day, Jin Shu also had someone she liked and a family of her own, but I always felt that she seemed unhappy."

"Until one day, my sister died tragically in front of me just like my parents once did. When I saw her body eaten alive by those beasts... I wondered what the difference was between her and the rest of the family. Come to understand...it turns out that my sister who has been by my side all this time...is actually my only relative in this world."

"The rest of the family around me are all fake, 'Grandpa', 'Aunt Zhang', 'Old Dong', they were all folded out of white paper by her to comfort me when I was young, except for myself, in fact Everyone in the family doesn't exist in the world at all."

"From the beginning to the end, only Jin Shu and I are still alive in this family. The others are just phantoms specially made by Jin Shu to make me a little happier. When I witnessed the family members folded out of paper by my sister disappear one by one. At the moment in front of me, I finally understood...the good intentions of those words she once said to me. "

"It is impossible for me to live under the blessing of my family all my life to vent my sad and sad emotions. One day I will learn to grow up by myself and shoulder heavy responsibilities like her. I have been stubborn about these words before. She refused to listen, but when I wanted to hear her say a word to me again, her body had... no heat."

"...The treasure of the old haunted owner was lost 20 years ago. In that year, the old man Wick, who was the keeper of the lamp, was driven to the world by the old haunted man because of negligence. Brother Meilang, who was suspected of stealing things, lost his freedom and them. The Flower Empress... Qin Gentiana and Zhang Fengqing happened to be the last people to meet 'Nian'... The ghost messenger said that 'Nian' is not a pair of brothers... And what's more coincident, it was only a few minutes before I found out...In fact, Jin Shu and Jin Heng only managed to exist in this body with the help of a certain treasure, the two dead people...Only I...have been kept in the dark from the beginning to the end."

"This this……"

Seeing the pale-faced Jin Heng put the glowing wick in his chest back on the lamp stand, no matter how the old man wick had thought before, he couldn't have imagined that things would end like this, but he just looked at the cluster of bright lights, Jin Heng, who had begun to breathe weakly, just slowly closed his eyes, and after symbolically handing the flute in his hand to Jin Jing who was in tears in front of him, he said softly,

"Your mirror is broken...so I have no other way to tell him these words. If you see Gentiana Qin after you go out, then...help me give him this flute and say it's... ...the last things left by Zhang Fengqing...and, I want to ask you one more thing, Mr. Deng."

"……what?"

"Do you still remember...the words you said to Gentiana Qin by the Sangui Bridge the night the little girl went to the Yin Division?"

Hearing this at first, the old man Dengxin didn't fully remember it, but was stunned for a moment under the calm gaze of the pale-faced Jin Heng, and watched him tremblingly draw a mountain on paper, a The painting of the river under the mountain and the snake man under the lampstand gave him a glance, and after a long time, the old man with red eyes couldn't bear it and said loudly,

"You stubborn...you actually...you still remember this sentence..."

"..."

But Jin Heng who heard the words only gave a very soft 'en', and after temporarily putting the wick back on his bleeding heart, he looked at the snake man on the paper with red eyes and said word by word,

"...The mountain is moving, the water is flowing backwards, the dead are resurrected... I also ask Mr. Deng to fulfill his promise and give Qin Gentian the heart that he lost back then...completely..."
