The temptation of the evil thought echoed in my mind.
He knew what I cared about most... A Wen and Si Jiangchen were the two people I could never abandon in my life!
Years ago, A Wen was the medicine primer prepared by my parents for me. As long as they had his flesh and blood, I could be transformed into the legendary non - decaying bone, a state of being neither old nor dead, not participating in the cycle of reincarnation, and not even having to go through the "Five Declines of the Heavenly Beings" like the immortals.
However, A Wen was my family whom I could never harm. Whether it was his care for me when I was a child or his emphasis on me that exceeded his own life during the decades of wandering later!
As for Si Jiangchen...
I couldn't help but turn around and look towards the sealed secret chamber space.
It was getting darker and more obscure. Golden lights faintly flickered in the countless black mists. Without even thinking, I knew Si Jiangchen's situation inside.
"... Si..."
I felt my throat was extremely dry. The little blood of Sheng Shixun was like a drop of water falling into the desert, instantly absorbed. After the first taste of the moist and fresh flavor, the other "me" inside my body roared to life, constantly chattering in my mind and tempting me to attack the Gu family couple.
"What are you going to do?"
I turned back and saw Gu Jinjin's vigilant, even somewhat disgusted face.
"Jinjin, don't talk to grandma like that!"
Lu Xiyu stopped the outspoken little fox severely, preventing her from saying any more hurtful words.
I slowly straightened up and showed her a grateful smile, "I'm sorry..."
"Grandma, it's not your fault!"
The baby in Gu Linjun's arms shook her head desperately. The wound on her wrist couldn't be treated, but Gu Linjun had drawn seven or eight complicated demon - suppressing talismans on the upper part of her upper arm to barely stop the corpse poison from spreading to other parts of Gu Baobao's body.
Gu Linjun was a great constable in the underworld, and even he was almost at a loss. And the one who bit the baby was just Sheng Shixun, a half - human not completely controlled by the corpse poison.
Although Gu Baobao always said that her injury was not my fault, there was also cold vigilance in Gu Linjun's eyes when he looked at me.
"Xixi, Mr. Gu, you two are people with great abilities."
I ignored the looks from the Gu family children and just stared at Gu Fancheng and his wife. "I'm helpless about Baobao's injury! But Si Jiangchen can remove the toxin from her body. Please help me get in!!"
I pointed to the space filled with black mist, looking like a brewing storm.
"No!"
Lu Xiyu shook her head firmly. "Mr. Si sealed himself in there, probably to prevent you from getting in danger!"
"I know!"
I grinned, trying to make a smile. "He doesn't want to hurt me! Every time Si Jiangchen gets injured, I can save him!"
Then I pointed to Gu Nian and Tong Yunfang standing aside. "Just by getting a bit of my blood, they have recovered. Si Jiangchen just doesn't... doesn't want me to get hurt."
Nine out of ten sentences of mine were true, only hiding the most important part.
The reason Si Jiangchen didn't let me get close to him was definitely not that he was afraid of me getting hurt and bleeding... but that it might cost me my life!
This was also the reason why I was so eager to get to Si Jiangchen's side. The injuries he suffered should be even more fatal than I imagined...
"To save Baobao's life and Si Jiangchen, please Mr. Gu, help me!!"
I looked up at Gu Fancheng pleadingly.
"Daddy Gu, don't. Don't listen to grandma."
Gu Baobao shouted, "I'm okay. If I'm about to turn into a zombie, I'll let Laosi kill me. I can still be with you guys as a ghost!"
Her childish words made me can't help but curl my lips. I didn't say anything else but just stared at Gu Fancheng steadily.
"... Okay!"
Gu Fancheng was silent for a moment, then nodded seriously. "I can let you in, but can you be responsible for your own life and death? I don't want my actions to make Xixi angry."
...
If it weren't for this situation, Gu Fancheng's words would have made me laugh out loud.
This was a typical behavior of a hen - pecked husband.
"Xiao He..." Lu Xiyu wanted to persuade me, but I shook my head to stop her.
"Xixi, if it were your husband in there, would you just stay alive outside?"
I put Lu Xiyu and her husband into the situation and directly blocked her words. I believed that if it were Gu Fancheng in the secret chamber, that impulsive little daughter - in - law would be more desperate than me!
Gu Fancheng sighed, stretched out his slender finger and pointed to the sky. Immediately, a blue - purple light burst out from behind him, and a four - armed Dharma image composed of countless fluorescent particles appeared behind him.
"Go!"
Gu Fancheng said in a deep voice, moving his finger forward. The magic weapon in the hand of the huge and illusory giant image had split the dark void.
I stepped in without hesitation.
A dazzling circle of light in front of me made me dizzy. Countless people and scenes flashed by me like lightning.
I knew that although the physical distance between Si Jiangchen in the secret chamber and me was only three to five meters, the restriction he set had isolated us by millions of light - years. The more he didn't want me to get close to him, the worse his situation must be!
I felt that my choice was definitely right!
Countless lights and shadows flashed by. It seemed like countless years had passed, and it also seemed like only a moment.
My eyes became dark again, and I smelled the musty and rotten smell peculiar to the underground.
I reached out my hand and sure enough, touched the damp wall.
"Si Jiangchen, I'm here!"
When it turned from light to dark, I couldn't see the situation in the secret chamber at all, so I had to reach out my hand and grope around.
My outstretched hand didn't get any response for a long time.
This made my heart turn cold.
If Si Jiangchen was there, he would never let my outstretched hand hang in the air for so long...
What happened to him?!
"Si Jiangchen!!"
I blinked hard, trying to see the situation in the secret chamber, but felt two drops of cold water sliding down my cheeks. "Si Jiangchen, where are you!! Come out!"
The sound was entangled by the darkness in the secret chamber and couldn't spread out at all.
Suddenly, a line of distorted golden runes lit up in front of my eyes. It was the innate demon - suppressing formula. Without thinking, I knew it was the high - level talisman set by Sheng Shixun.
The runes sensed my appearance and immediately expanded. In an instant, like a huge net, they rolled towards me overwhelming.
I wanted to retreat and had already pinched the spell formula of the soul - calming spell in my hand, but the runes wrapped around me without any hindrance. The extremely hot divine sense seemed to have invoked the will of some god!
The little light of the soul - calming spell I cast on myself was like a firefly compared to the moonlight, a candle flame compared to the sun, compared to the grand demon - suppressing formula. It disappeared without even a chance to struggle...
At the moment when I was attacked by the spell, what I thought of was not myself, but Si Jiangchen who had been in the secret chamber all the time. What he had to bear... was I don't know how many times stronger than what I was seeing now!
