None of us three spoke again until we got off the boat.
Sometimes, being able to predict the future is not a pleasant thing, especially when you know that something terrible is about to happen, but you are powerless to change it and can only wait for the disaster to come, which is even more unbearable.
Ye Jin and I were in this situation. Xuan Jingsi had already raised the butcher knife to us, but we didn't even have the ability to resist.
It was not until the boat docked that Seventh Shuilan said slowly, "The boat has reached the shore, and it's time for us to go our separate ways. Wu Zhao, you may be the last hope of the Half Life Path. No matter what, you must stay alive."
As I nodded slightly, Seventh Shuilan pointed to the boat behind us and said, "We got off the same boat and will get on the same boat again. When we meet next time, I hope we can come back safely."
I forced a smile: "I hope so!"
Seeing that I was in a bad mood, Ye Jin couldn't help but comfort me, "Zhaozi, why do you have to look so sad? Things will work out when the time comes. If you worry now, how long will you worry? We still have to live our lives, and it won't be too late to worry when the time comes."
"Let's hope so!" It would be a lie to say that I'm not worried at all. "When you get to the bridge, things will work out" is just a self-consolation. Some bridges are impossible to cross.
While I was silent, Ye Jin suddenly said, "No, Seventh Shuilan didn't tell the truth."
I suddenly asked, "What do you mean?"
Ye Jin said, "Think about what Qishi Shuilan said. She said she couldn't predict her own future, so why did she lead us to Shenmu Temple?"
"At that time, if we didn't have her guidance, could we have opened the Shenmu Temple and released her? Wouldn't her guidance count as self-help?"
I suddenly came to my senses when Ye Jin said this: "You are right. Seventh Shuilan may not be able to predict the past, but she can definitely see the future. It is very likely that Seventh Shuilan was afraid that we would ask her questions, so she deliberately made excuses. At that time, our attention was all on the secrets of the Half-Life Dao, and no one thought about other aspects. Now it seems that Seventh Shuilan must have done it on purpose."
Ye Jin whispered, "Do you think there are any descendants of other branches of the Half-Life Dao around the Seventh Shui Lan?"
Ye Jin said without waiting for me to ask, "Nine Sons defy the heavens. You only have Lu Xiaoying by your side. Even if you have the inheritance of others, you can't make up the Nine Sons. Unless the Seventh Shuilan gathers other people, otherwise, before the calamity comes, you don't have the capital to defy the heavens."
"That makes sense!" Seventh Shuilan has always been very mysterious. The fact that she quietly usurped the position of the Lord of Hell is enough to prove Seventh Shuilan's ability. If you say that she didn't have a backup plan before the catastrophe, I would be the first one to disbelieve it, but I just don't know her plan.
Ye Jin said again: "There is another very important point, I wonder if you have thought about it."
"What?" I looked at Ye Jin in confusion.
Ye Jin stared into my eyes and said word by word: "Until now, you have no reason to change your fate!"
Ye Jin's short words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving me stunned.
Strictly speaking, I have no reason to change my fate. Although I have been wandering in the martial arts world and living a precarious life, I have no other regrets except the tragedy of the Wu family.
Two generations of the Wu family's Ghost Eye Qian's descendants died with hatred one after another. Even if I change their fate, I can't redeem their regrets. What's the point of me going against the will of heaven
Until now, it was Xuan Jing Si who thought that I would go against the will of heaven, and it was Ban Ming Dao who hoped that I would change my fate.
But I was like a chess piece, moving forward step by step in the chess game that Zhan Wuxiang and Ning Nitian had set up long ago, from a penniless little sorcerer to the forefront where I stood in opposition to the sorcerer's heroes and the destiny of heaven.
But taking a step back, if I maintain my current state and don't go against the will of heaven, it will not have any impact on my life.
Why do I have to defy fate and change my destiny
While I was daydreaming, Ye Jin's voice came again: "Among the ten hatreds of half a life, the hatred of the ghost vein is separation of life and death. The separation of life and death between you and the old man is a foregone conclusion. However, the old man is also the descendant of the ghost vein, and you have the same fate. In other words, it can be said that he is saying goodbye to you. But what about the next time? Will it be your beloved woman?"
I suddenly felt cold: "Yes, there will be a next time..."
Lu Xiaoying, Xiao Baitang, Guan Qingyan, who will be the one who will be separated from me forever
Guan Qingyan? It could be her. She is my destined wife, and she will also walk into that irreversible curse.
Little White Sugar? Or maybe she. We have been repeating the tragedy of our previous life, and it has never changed.
Lu Xiaoying? Maybe... It can't be her, absolutely impossible. We don't have any relationship now, it can't be her.
I suddenly looked up and said, "No, let's go home, quickly!"
Ye Jin found a car and took me home without stopping: "Zhaozi, what are you going to do this time?"
I said in a deep voice, "Drive them all away. It's better to be separated alive than dead. At least I know they are still alive."
Ye Jin looked at me in surprise and asked, "Are you willing to do that?"
I took a deep breath and said, "I have to give it up even if I'm reluctant! My grandfather and my father chased the women away from home. Don't they feel bad at all? But they still did it. Choose the lesser of two evils!"
Ye Jin couldn't help but sigh, "That's right! We have no choice but to do this. Let's go, and do what we have decided to do, so as to avoid any more trouble."
I also know that the longer the night, the more dreams there are, but when I rushed back home, there was no one at home, and even the melon seeds were gone. I searched for a long time at home before I saw a bowl of soup that had just been cooked in the bedroom, and next to the bowl was the mobile phone that I had forgotten at home.
I picked up my phone and took a look. There was a message from Xiao Baitang on it: "Brother Wu Zhao, Sister Xiao Ying calculated that you would come back today, so I made soup for you."
"Wrong, it's a beast!"
"personally!"
"personally!"
"Pinyin typing is really..."
I smiled and took a sip of the soup, but my face turned green. "What kind of soup is this?"
I put my fingers into the soup bowl and stirred it, and saw a thick layer of white stuff like lime paste at the bottom of the bowl. I dipped my hand in it and tasted it: this idiot must have mistaken soda for starch, and poured soda powder into the soup because it was not thick enough, otherwise there would be no such a layer of paste at the bottom of the soup bowl.
I took out my phone and wrote: "Are you beasts going to poison me to death?"
As soon as I sent the message, I felt something was wrong—Xiao Baitang was good at using poison and hidden weapons. Anyone who used hidden weapons would have hand-eye coordination capabilities several or even dozens of times better than ordinary people, and would never be stumped by a mere mobile phone. The fact that Xiao Baitang sent the wrong message proved that she was very anxious and even a little panicked at the time.
I immediately picked up my phone and called Xiao Baitang, but the call couldn't be connected.
I immediately called Lu Xiaoying and Guan Qingyan, but neither of them answered. I said anxiously, "Ye Jin, contact Dou Ma and ask her where those three girls went!"
Ye Jin quickly replied: "I can't get in touch with Dou Ma, and Shen Fengyin didn't answer the phone."
My heart sank suddenly, and I quickly took out the ghost eye coins and threw them into the air, but all three ghost eye coins were blurry and I couldn't make out any shape at all.
Is there an expert who blocked the secret
When I stood up, a layer of cold sweat had already appeared on my forehead: "Ye Jin, is there any other way to find them?"
Ye Jin shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I can't tell where they are going now."
"Damn it, a few living people can't just disappear out of thin air, right?" I walked around the room several times before saying, "Contact Jiuchong Pavilion and ask them to investigate."
"No!" Ye Jin flatly refused, "I always feel that there is something wrong with Jiuchong Pavilion. We can't go to them. Let's think of another way..."
"What can we do?" I asked anxiously, "Do you have any friends who can access the surveillance video? Can you ask them to help find out which direction those three girls went?"
Adjusting the surveillance footage is the only solution we can think of. Otherwise, we will have no way of finding Lu Xiaoying and the others’ whereabouts.
Ye Jin was constantly calling his friends at the police station, but I suddenly received a text message: Lu Xiaoying has rushed to Prajna Temple, go and rescue him immediately.
I held the phone and was stunned: "Whose text message is this?"
Ye Jin stretched his head and took a look: "I feel that this information should be true. No matter what, let's go over and take a look. At least it is a clue."
After I got in the car, I couldn't help but ask, "What do you think Lu Xiaoying and the others are doing in Prajna Temple?"
Ye Jin shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe something happened to the monk, so they rushed over."
I said with a gloomy face, "Could it be Nangong Ling's doing again?"
"It's hard to say!" Ye Jin said in a calm voice, "If Nangong Ling really intends to marry Sun Yifan, she will have to kill the monk. Sun Yifan will never marry a woman who has unclear ties with other men."
"If Nangong Ling uses the peach blossom poison to kill the monk, even the Prajna Temple will not be able to suppress the poison easily. If something happens over there, Zhihui will definitely notify Lu Xiaoying. It is reasonable for them to rush over to rescue. The key is, what can they do?"
After Ye Jin finished speaking, I said in a deep voice: "You are right. If it was any other mission, Lu Xiaoying and the others would not hide it from us, unless this mission makes it extremely difficult for us. As brothers, we cannot easily make decisions for the monk, but Lu Xiaoying and the others are different, they are women. If a woman is determined to deal with another woman, even the monk cannot stop her."
When I said this, I couldn't help but reveal a hint of murderous intent in my eyes: "If anything happens to the monk, I want Nangong Ling to pay with his life!" (To be continued)
