In Xia Qiu, Ouyang Xiaoleng and Heye woke up at Heyin's house almost at the same time. Seeing their son finally opening his eyes from his sleep, Heyin's wife couldn't help but burst into tears and held her son in her arms. , and Heyin silently hugged both of their parents into his broad arms. Heyin, who had just been frightened in the world of soul separation, burst into tears when he saw his parents.
Looking at the scene of a family of three reunited in front of her, Xia Qiu's eyes were moist. She and Ouyang Xiaoleng's hands were still holding each other tightly, continuing to give each other warmth and strength. They were able to use the demon again in the soul-living world. The alliance made the two of them feel closer to each other.
For some reason, she always had a premonition, as if there was a voice in her heart telling her that the reason why she came to Qingyang more than a hundred years ago was to save Heye. If she succeeded, she would be able to connect her to the world. The passage should have reappeared.
Although she didn't want to ruin the warm moment of gathering for Heyin's family, she had to sit up from the bed and said to them: "Now I will tell you the truth about Guiyin that I know. I hope you are mentally prepared. Just listen to me!"
Heyin released his hands holding his wife and child, came to her, nodded solemnly and said, "Please tell me!"
"The real murderer who caused Onigakure is the undead spirit of the great monster Ape Red Demon who led you to build the Tucheng Qingyang. During his lifetime, he fell into the devil's path because of his greed to gain power through the Heaven-Eating Technique. After his death, he was still unable to restrain himself from continuing to pass. The desire to absorb the life force of children of the same race to practice this technique."
Xia Qiu was determined to tell the truth. She understood that if the Demon Spirit Tribe knew the truth about Guiyin, it would definitely cause great trauma to their hearts. Who would have thought that the hero who had been their hope and belief would actually Become a demon that kills their children.
Sure enough, Heyin and his wife had very complicated expressions on their faces after hearing this. They were doubtful and full of fear at the same time, especially Heyin. In his mind, the Ape Red Demon had always been an existence that he looked up to like a god. Before Heye was born, he and his wife had several children, but all of them were killed by Kiyakure one after another. At this moment, disappointment and resentment collided fiercely in his heart, leaving him speechless.
"Then...will he hurt Heye again?" Heyin's wife also came over and asked tremblingly. This was the question she was most concerned about.
"I think I will arrive here from the future world just to help Heye change his original destiny. If everything is as I think, then there is only one thing that can prove that Heye is safe, and that is the connection between us in the pool. The passage to the world should have appeared again!" Xia Qiu responded.
After listening to her words, Ouyang Xiaolian suddenly asked: "Do you feel this way too?"
After he came to this world in search of Xia Qiu, the passage also disappeared. Just now, he had the same premonition as her, as if it was some kind of call from their world, urging him to... Time to go back.
Although Heye seemed to understand what they just said about Saru Chima and Onigakure, he could hear that his sister Xia Qiu was about to leave from the place where she came before. He suddenly lost control and rushed to He hugged her waist in front of her and shouted, "I don't want sister Xia Qiu to leave!"
Xia Qiu was not willing to say goodbye to him, but she did not belong to this world, and there were her family and companions waiting for her and Ouyang Xiaoleng on the other side. No matter how much nostalgia she felt in her heart, they had to leave here, but at this moment she still wanted to hug Heye tightly, even if it was just for a little longer. During the time they spent together day and night, she was deeply moved by Heye's simplicity and kindness. If they meet again after this parting, it will be in the world more than a hundred years later. His appearance must have changed long ago. I don't even know if he can deny that he can be with her. An encounter of my own.
"Heye, you can't do this, Xia Qiu doesn't belong here." Heyin persuaded his son from behind.
Upon hearing this, Heye cried even harder and could hardly breathe. Xia Qiu touched his little head and comforted him, saying, "Don't be sad, we will definitely meet again!"
Heye choked and begged her: "Swear!"
Xia Qiu held back her tears, squeezed out a smile and responded: "Yes, I swear! Do you still remember how to draw a hook that my sister taught you these days?"
After listening to her words, Heye finally stopped crying. He raised his head and wiped away the tears that blurred his vision. Then he stretched out his little finger towards her seriously. Xia Qiu also stretched out his little finger and hooked it tightly with his. .
"stamp!"
The two of them said in unison and held each other's thumbs. After receiving Xia Qiu's promise, Hinaye finally burst into laughter.
Heyin's family sent Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng to the edge of the pool. Heye still held Xia Qiu's hand tightly and refused to let go. Although he has accepted the fact that he is about to be separated from her, he still has some hope in his heart. If that passage does not appear, then Sister Xia Qiu can stay by his side forever.
Unfortunately, when I walked to the edge of the pool and looked down, the pool that should have been very shallow turned out to be unfathomable again, which meant that the moment of real separation had arrived.
"Thank you for saving Heyin. If I, Heyin, are still alive in your time, my wife, my son, and I will definitely repay your kindness!"
After Heyin finished speaking, he and his wife bowed deeply to Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng. Their gratitude to the two young men was like a torrent of river water.
Xia Qiu smiled at Heyin and said, "Perhaps you can't believe that the person who guided me to save Heyin is you! This must be an arrangement from somewhere!"
She looked deeply at the hinges again, and then walked into the pool hand in hand with Ouyang Xiaoleng. Just like when they came, the cold and biting water quickly changed direction over time, sending them back to their original world.
They didn't know how much time had passed. After they walked out of the pool, the passage completely disappeared and was replaced by a stone wheel that appeared in the water. That was the real gate of the expedition.
She turned the pointer on the roulette wheel clockwise to the position of 210 degrees. The opening of the Zhengzhi Gate caused the underground mechanism to vibrate more strongly. Now she was only two steps away from fully activating the Seven Star Disk.
After solving the Zhengzhi Gate, the first thing Xia Qiu wanted to do was to take a look at the surrounding situation, because Heyin's family still lived on this floor a hundred years ago, but the result was disappointing to them.
She and Ouyang Xiaoleng found that there was no change here as when they left, and the connected houses were still empty. In the house where Heyin's family originally lived, a familiar figure caught her eye, that is Nine eyes. It is now nearly two meters in diameter. I don't know since when it entered Heyin's old house. What's even more bizarre is that after seeing Xia Qiu, it actually recognized who she was.
It descended from the big spider web on the ceiling and said to Xia Qiu: "It's been such a long time since I saw you. I didn't expect that you haven't changed at all! Heye always mentioned you to me. He has now moved to the lower city. Yes, along with his parents, wife and children!"
Xia Qiu was already shocked by Jiuyan who spoke. When she heard that Heye already had a wife and children, she was even more surprised and happy, and she burst into tears of joy. As expected, Heye survived and was living well. She couldn't wait to run over immediately to see what had become of the boy who had been pestering her all day long, but she was afraid that his sudden appearance would scare him.
"Have there been any wars in this city recently?" Ouyang Xiaoleng asked Jiuyan. This was the question he was most concerned about at the moment.
"No! But I heard from Heye and my children that the red-eared demon spirit betrayed the royal city to save his own son, and took some of his men to occupy the Wangzi Palace." Jiuyan finished answering his question. He stared at him for a while, and then asked, "I seem to have seen you in a dream? In that dream, you saved Heye, although later Heye told me that it was not a dream, but something called Hunli. The stuff of the world.”
Ouyang Xiaoleng nodded and replied: "I have indeed seen it! Did the Demon Horse Cavalry Regiment come to Qingyang?"
"What is that? I've never heard of it!" Jiuyan tightened the spider silk and slowly hoisted himself back to the ceiling and said, "I'm going to continue sleeping. You go and meet Heye. He will be very happy when he sees you. Happy, especially for you Xia Qiu!"
After bidding farewell to Jiuyan, Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng prepared to return to their stronghold on the third floor to see if their companions had successfully completed their missions and returned. As soon as they walked to the avenue in the center of the city, they met Qian Qi there. , Wangyue and Lingyu.
Ouyang Xiaoleng urgently asked how long it had been since they were separated. Judging from their answers, although Xia Qiu had spent many days in the world more than a hundred years ago, it was only a few days in this world. It’s just hours.
He then asked about the situation of the Thousand Demonic Horse Cavalry Regiment, but was told that the Demonic Horse Cavalry Regiment was still stationed in the royal city of Yongchuan. As expected, the life-and-death battle between them and the Demon Spirit Tribe had been successfully avoided due to the rewriting of history. The only regret for them was that the fierce battle between Ouyang Hongye's intelligence team and the Huocheng convoy still happened, and Chang Feng and Inugami were still immersed in the grief of losing the mole Xiaoqi.
When they walked back to the stronghold on the third floor together, Heyin was already waiting there. He also completed his mission. However, after history was rewritten, the reason why he helped them was no longer to abandon the darkness and turn to the light after reflecting on the truth of the war. But to repay Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng for saving his son Heye.
Now it was finally time to meet Heye again. Only Heyin led her and Ouyang Xiaoleng there, while the others were still waiting where they were.
Qingyang Lower City was much more prosperous than what Xia Qiu and the others had seen before, and the buildings next to the large herb fields were no longer scattered but dense. Heyin told Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaolen that after the betrayal of the red-eared demon spirit, Heye had been selected as the new leader of the demon clan.
A hundred years ago, they seriously injured the Ape Red Demon and not only rescued Heye, but also rescued two other children who were dying at the time. One of them, a girl from the Demon Spirit Tribe who was younger than Heye, later became him. wife. The two of them have given birth to many children and built a big house in the lower city to live with Heyin and his wife.
