Chapter 103
() Found the way home!
Changdong's mind was in a mess, like a shadow puppet in the playbox, rushing to the two-meter screen, with colors overlapping, drum beats stomping, and dialogue in the play, unable to tell which one it was, nor can he tell which one it was played.
The study was surprisingly quiet.
Long Zhi sat back again, picked up the teapot, and added the lighter tea noodles in the cup.
"The separation of body and souls at Yumen Pass was indeed quite scary. We didn't expect that the sandstorm would be so big. After waking up, some alchemists calculated that we were already in the "outside the pass", and their faces were so scared that they turned pale. After all, 'one step out of the pass and blood was dry'. You can't say how long it will take for Yumen Pass to restore the body and souls. If it is restored, we have not been able to pass the pass, so there is no need to discuss. Except for Ye Liuxi, everyone else will become mummies. At that time, if you go on a trip and discover it, you may find out some mysterious story. Unsolved mystery."
"While rushing back, someone suddenly discovered that there was an off-road vehicle half buried in sand not far ahead."
"Cars are rare things, and if you have a car, the speed of going back will be greatly accelerated, so Ye Liuxi ordered us to search everywhere to see if we could gain any other benefits... Soon, we found the first buried corpse."
Long Zhi's lips bent, and there was a little strange expression in his eyes, as if he had returned to that different night.
At that time, she got into the car and checked with a flashlight: The car was very new, which means it was not an abandoned car. There were bags of food with fresh dates on the car. It was opened and clamped with a clip, which means that someone had eaten it not long ago... This discovery instantly made Long Zhi's blood rush.
She never thought that one day, she would be so close to the legendary "people outside the gate".
This is a chance given by God, only outsiders can kill Ye Liuxi!
During that time, she had been secretly meeting Zhao Guanshou and communicating and discussing ways to deal with the Scorpion Eye Rebellion. Every time she talked about being at a loss, Zhao Guanshou would sigh and say, "It would be great if there could be a suitable person outside the pass. It's a pity that we can't get out, and people outside the pass can't get in."
Zhao Guanshou once thought of taking advantage of the separation of the body and soul of the Yumen Pass to try his luck. Maybe he could meet a few outsiders and ask them to help get Ye Liuxi out of the way.
After thinking about it, this road is not accessible: For Yumen Pass, separation of body and soul is rare. The Long family can force the spell, but it is extremely harmful to the caster. Moreover, there is a no-man's land outside Yumen Pass. The probability of hitting a ghost may be greater than hitting a person. If you take a step back, even if you are lucky enough to run into a shit, can ordinary characters deal with Ye Liuxi? The other party took the money and ran away, and they can also pursue it.
How good is the right time, place, and people to get the situation he wants?
In desperation, I could only give up, but every time I talked about being discouraged, I would always be reluctant to mention it.
...
Long Zhi was so excited that his heart was pounding, and he almost never overturned the car. There were many newspapers and magazines on the car, all related to travel and outdoors. In the newspaper, he reported the plans for the four no-man's lands. He saw the plan again. At the end, there was a member introducing it. Only then did she realize that: No wonder the cover character in the magazine was Changdong, and he was invited to be a guide.
Just as I was impressed, someone suddenly knocked on the window outside. Long Zhi looked up and saw Ye Liuxi.
Ye Liuxi signaled the booklet in her hand: "What are you looking at?"
Before Long Zhi could answer, someone shouted not far away: "Lord Qing, another corpse has been found, seven."
Ye Liuxi didn't react much and stared at Long Zhi.
Long Zhi was a little nervous. Ye Liuxi had always been neither salty nor indifferent to her, and could not be suspicious, but she had no good feelings for her, so she was always cautious in front of Ye Liuxi.
She raised the plan in her hand: "Qingzhu, this is an expedition team, with the members and guides, and there are a total of eighteen people."
Ye Liuxiqi said: "Eighteen?"
Her face gradually turned to surprise, and at the end, she almost became proud: "This is a blessing for the failure of the enemy. Although she failed to open the ancient demon frame, God gave me eighteen people... The eighteen formations in the Eye Tomb do not require me to spend any more effort."
As he said that, he reached out and rushed Jiang to slash over and told him: "Please look around carefully. There should be eighteen corpses, so don't leak them."
After Ye Liuxi left, Long Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the pages pressed to the bottom to read.
This is the only content that has nothing to do with traveling outdoors, Changdong's proposal planning.
...
Seeing that Longzhi seemed a little dazed, Changdong couldn't help saying, "What's the matter?"
Long Zhi came to her senses and smiled: "Oh, where did you say it?"
"You found the first buried body."
"Yes, I found the first one, then the second one, and the third one... I found the plan for camellia and told Qingzhu that there were eighteen corpses, but then, after seeing your proposal plan, I realized that I should have one more."
"I was nervous and excited. Although I had no detailed plan at that time, I knew that the opportunity should not be missed and that the time would not come again. I must seize the opportunity first."
Changdong said: "The corpse is also your chance?"
Long Zhi smiled slightly. She picked up the teacup and drank it all. When she put it down, she felt complacent in her smile: "According to the secret technique of the old Li family's shadow puppet, it should be the leader of the alchemist, but do you know... why was it suppressed by our Long family?"
Changdong said: "I'm not interested, I just want to know what's going on when I die."
Long Zhi asked for something boring, but others couldn't get back to what she wanted to say: "That's because our Long family has two unique skills. One is the dragon roaring and tiger roaring, which is powerful and is enough to drive out the demon formation; the other is the demon curse that brings back to life, with seven fingers plucking the strings and three fingers to continue the cold and heat."
Changdong couldn't understand: "Your family has a great piano, right?"
Long Zhi stretched out his left hand and untied the silver chain on his right hand in circles, with a low voice: "Heartstring."
After saying that, he slowly unbuttoned the buckle of the silver chain and reached to the end of the chain, as if he had pinched something and slowly pulled it out.
Changdong held his breath.
It was a silver thread, to be precise, more like a silver light, floating straight and tightly in the air, only half a meter long.
"There is a monster in the pass, called Yin Silkworm. He only spits one meter of silk in his life. He dies after spitting it. The silk that is spit out is called Xinxin. The silver silkworm hides the heartstrings, and is born to be a container of Xinxin. Therefore, after the silver silkworm dies, we cast its body into a silver chain hidden string... Everyone will carry a string with us. Are you familiar with the guqin? If you are familiar with it, you should know that the standard length of the string is about one meter of silk."
Changdong looked at the heartstring: "Do you use it to make a piano?"
Long Zhi said with a sarcasm: "Whoever comes in, I still hold a piano? This heart string is cut in half, half planted into your heart, and half stayed in my way. Speaking of which, you are also very lucky. Heart strings are not planted by everyone, and they must meet two conditions. One is that from the moment of death, to the time of being planted with the heart strings, you cannot see the sunlight. Because the sunlight is too strong, everything can't be hidden when you see the light. Resurrection is against the will of heaven, so you are taboo to see the light; the other is that when you die, you cannot have external injuries, because the true qi of a person must exist in a closed system. Even if you just cut a hole in your hand, it will cause the heart strings to not be planted."
"So the corpse is also my chance. Who made me a member of the Long family? I even chose the most ideal candidate. Do you remember that there is a leader in your team who just became a father?"
I remember that I was deeply impressed. He was a man in his early thirties and the organizer of camellia. He was in his prime and was full of energy. He not only liked to drive and explore, but also climbing enthusiasts. He also liked to run marathons. When newspapers reported, he paid the most attention to him.
"Such a person is capable and easy to control. Because he just became a father, he has old men and young men, and he is easily controlled by others... In order to return to his wife and children, he will not frown even if he kills and sets fire. But the problem arises again. Yumen Pass is a filtering level. It does not accept living people unless it is brought in by Ye Liuxi. After the dead are taken into the pass, they will always be dead people, and even if there is a heartstring, they cannot be saved."
This was a bit confusing. Changdong thought for a while before he realized: Long Zhi wanted to resurrect a person outside the pass with Xinxian, but if that person "deadly" into Yumen Pass, Xinxian would not work.
Changdong found it funny: "So, you can only save people in that gray area. But there are so many scorpion eyes on the scene, how can you avoid it? And you are rushing to go, Ye Liuxi will not give you a lot of time to stay. If someone is saved, you probably won't even say a few words and you will have to leave. At that time, this heartstring will be in vain."
Long Zhi smiled: "Yes, but fortunately... there is no way out. When I was hesitating, someone suddenly shouted not far away, "Hey, this man and a woman are still holding hands."
This sentence is actually plain, but for some reason, it hits with one blow.
Changdong's hand trembled slightly, and he looked down.
The palms are empty now.
The moment before he lost consciousness, he expected that death was inevitable, and his last thought was to grab Kong Yang's hand tightly: In this way, he would be searched and rescued after death and the two would not be separated.
He looked up at Long Zhi: "I'm dead?"
"I died, both of them died, but how to say that scene was very touching. It was at that time, if there was God's help, I suddenly changed my mind. At that moment, I felt that my thoughts were really wonderful."
"I have seen your proposal plan. You should be in the stage of being in love with each other. You can't get tired of it over time, you can't get tired of love, you can't lose your love, you have no misunderstandings, no disturbances, no change of heart... This kind of love that dies in the prime of life is so unforgettable. A man lost his lover in such a natural disaster and didn't even find his body. Do you think he would be worried about collecting the body of his lover? Why do I have to bring the person into Yumen Pass? I can put the bait and catch him."
"So, I have no hesitation. After I sent the scorpion-eyed man away, I planted heartstrings for you while the person was not prepared. The demon curse of the Dragon Family requires seven fingers to pluck the strings, and three fingers to continue the cold and heat. It means that it can only last three years at a time. Now it's almost two years, it's so dangerous. Fortunately, God protects you, you followed Ye Liu westward into the gate in time. If it's a little late, you may have a sudden heart attack."
"Changdong, stop looking at me with such rude eyes. Speaking of which, I gave you my life in the past two years. I love you enough. In Jinye Cave, Jiang Zhan wanted to shoot you with an arrow. My first reaction was to push him away... Do you still remember that a huge rock hit you and you pushed Ye Liuxi away, but why didn't you be killed? Have you ever thought about it? Who used the spell to help you move the stone away?"
She decided not to tell Changdong what happened later...
In fact, there were so many scorpion eyes on the scene, and some people were not dead yet. This matter could not be hidden. Long Zhi opened Changdong and Kong Yang's hands, turned to look at Ye Liuxi, and shouted: "Lord Qing, there is someone here, and there is still a tone."
Ye Liuxi was surprised: "Is that true?"
She walked over, squatted down to look at it, and then used her hand to explore Changdong's breath.
Long Zhi said: "Lord Qing, I'll send him on the road."
After saying that, his face darkened and he strangled Changdong's throat with one hand. As expected, Ye Liuxi controlled his wrist.
Long Zhi pretended to be puzzled: "Lord Qing?"
In fact, she knew the reason: Ye Zuocun was rescued by the Golden Scorpion, so she had an indescribable care for those who survived the disaster.
Sure enough, Ye Liuxi said: "Since it's not difficult to die, it means that God wants to keep him and don't touch him anymore. Why do you have to do such things that harm others and be unfavorable?"
Long Zhi lowered his eyebrows and looked respectful: "What the Qingzhu said is."
Ye Liuxi waved his hand to let the alchemist come over: "When you enter the pass later, there may be wind and sand. You can think of a way to not let this person be buried by wind and sand. That would be a pity."
...
Long Zhi smiled. Looking back now, the scene was really ironic. Yes, it was God who wanted to keep him and keep him for my use to deal with you.
Changdong asked something, but Long Zhi didn't hear it clearly: "What did you say?"
"I want to ask you, did you take the photo of Kong Yang?"
Yes, this is her proud work.
Long Zhi nodded: "I took it. At that time, she was being swallowed by a living tomb and not being swallowed. Before going to Yadan, I told Jiang Zhan that destroying the eye tomb is of great significance. He should take some photos to commemorate it. He had no objection, so I asked someone to bring a camera, and I brought it myself, but I only took one photo. I took Kong Yang very clearly, for fear that when you see the photos in the future, you will not recognize her... I think any man, as long as he is not false to his fiancée, will he take some action when he sees such photos?"
"We have always wanted to find someone outside the pass to destroy Ye Liuxi. This idea is actually correct. The wrong thing is that we stubbornly want to bring that person to Ye Liuxi."
"Wanting from another perspective, why don't Ye Liuxi go to find him? Ye Liuxi has been away for a while, so it will be easier for me to find out and deal with Scorpion Eyes. When she comes back, everything will come naturally."
"Changdong, your life is about to expire. Don't you want to renew it?"
