Yin Molan put Hu Xiaoji on the bed and covered her with a quilt.
Ning Tao said softly: "You go outside and wait for me first. I want to talk to her alone."
Jiang Hao, Bai Jing, Yin Molan and Roaring Dog left Hu Xiaoji's room. Bai Jing, who was the last to go out, reached out to close the door. But just as the door was about to close, she poked her head in again and whispered to Ning Tao: "You owe me a favor, how can you repay it?"
Ning Tao turned his head away and pretended not to see it.
Bai Jing stuck out her long tongue at Ning Tao and trembled it several times with great flexibility, as fast as an insect's wings. However, I am afraid only she knows what she wants to express by this behavior.
Bai Jing closed the door.
Ning Tao moved his eyes to Hu Xiaoji's face, she was sleeping peacefully. He reached out and touched her forehead, and a trace of spiritual power was injected into her. Her eyelids trembled and then opened.
"Dad, am I... asleep?" Hu Xiaoji's first words when she woke up.
Ning Tao observed her reaction and said, "Xiao Ji, are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?"
Hu Xiaoji said: "No, I just want to sleep, yawning..."
Ning Tao quietly awakened the gaze state of his eyes, and after observing Hu Xiaoji's condition again, he finally felt relieved. In the ancient tomb of Shanzhong Temple, he was worried that Hu Xiaoji would have sequelae due to the dual stimulation of the illusion and the ancestor-seeking pill. Now it seems that she just had a little "awakening" reaction at that time, and now she has returned to her original state. In this state, she is still the little kid Hu Xiaoji.
But even so, Ning Tao still felt a little guilty in his heart: "Xiao Ji, that..."
"What?"
"I'm sorry, Dad."
"Really?"
Ning Tao nodded, feeling really guilty.
Hu Xiaoji stretched out a small hand to Ning Tao: "Then give me delicious food, so that you can make up for me."
Ning Tao: "..."
After chatting with Hu Xiaoji for a few more words, Ning Tao asked Hu Xiaoji to sleep, and he also left Hu Xiaoji's room.
Outside the door, Yin Molan, Bai Jing, Bai Jing and Roaring Sky Dog were all waiting for Ning Tao, and greeted him as soon as he came out.
"How is she?" Yin Molan asked with concern.
Ning Tao said: "She is fine, don't worry."
Yin Molan chuckled: "As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
Bai Jing glanced at Yin Molan, and then said: "I fought her once in the heart of the mountain. I know how powerful she is. If she really wakes up, she can kill you if she is unhappy. You really Do you think of her as your granddaughter?”
Yin Molan said angrily: "That's my business, you don't have to worry about it."
Bai Jing frowned: "Old man Yin, I mean well, what's your attitude?"
Ning Tao said: "Stop arguing and let's talk about business."
Jiang Hao said: "A Tao, what do those words Xiao Ji said in the tomb chamber mean?"
Ning Tao's thoughts were pulled back again. He recalled the scene when Hu Xiaoji had a slight awakening. He didn't know why he blurted out and recited: "Seven lives open seven levels, and six paths call my body." My body should still be there, but my soul will remain in the underworld. It’s not that I won’t come back. If I want to find the elixir, I need to catch the elixir first.”
Bai Jing said: "I understand the elixir spirit. It is something that is only found in elixirs. It is the same as the weapon spirit of a magic weapon. But in the previous sentences, seven lives open seven levels, and what does it mean that the red clothes are entangled with me? ?”
Ning Tao said: "Seven lives open seven levels. That's the price Zeng Xunlong and his six disciples paid for entering the mountain temple, which is what they call the Tomb of the Immortals. Now it seems that that has something to do with the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Diagram" It’s related to Fox Lady’s reincarnation. As for Hongyi, I can see her occasionally when I’m allergic to Xunzu Dan. She should be the Danling that Fox Lady mentioned.”
"Then what does it mean for the soul to remain in the underworld?" Yin Molan couldn't help but be curious and interjected.
Ning Tao thought for a moment but shook his head: "I am not sure about this sentence. I think the underworld does not refer to the underworld in the traditional sense."
"If it's not the underworld, then what place is it?" Jiang Haoye asked curiously.
Ning Tao said: "Maybe it's... the past time and space."
"Past time and space?" Yin Molan, Bai Jing and Jiang Hao said this almost at the same time, and even the Roaring Sky Dog looked at Ning Tao with widened dog eyes.
Past time and space is a very abstract concept. It does exist, because the last second can be regarded as past time and space, but who can go back and do something? If time and space could turn back and allow people to go back to the past, then the world would not have so many regrets. For example, if Hitler gave his father a condom, World War II would not have happened.
However, no one can go back to the past time and space.
The same will be true in the future. Who can skip the present second and transcend all living beings into the next second
Still no one can do it.
People live in the present, this is not only a philosophy of life, but also a scientific truth.
Ning Tao smiled bitterly: "Why are you looking at me like this? I don't understand. Maybe there is a way to return people to the past time and space. Didn't Lady Fox say that my body should still be there, but my soul will remain in the shadows?" Time, it’s not that I won’t come back, Hong Yi entangled me. To understand it literally, it probably means that her body is now reincarnated, and her soul still remains in the past time and space looking for the red pill spirit. As a result, she was entangled. I can’t come back. If you want to get the complete elixir Xunzu Dan, you must first find the elixir.”
"Wait..." Yin Molan suddenly interrupted Ning Tao: "The souls of cultivators and demons are also Nascent Souls. The so-called soul she left in the past time and space is most likely her Nascent Soul!"
Ning Tao's heart moved. Yin Molan's words touched something. He seemed to have an inspiration, but he couldn't say it for a while.
"Let me also say something." Jiang Hao said: "A Tao, you just said that there may be some way to enter the past time and space. I think that is the Xunzu Dan. Through the Xunzu Dan, you can enter the past time and space."
Ning Tao said excitedly: "Yes! That's what it means. I just seemed to have thought of it. Seeking the Ancestral Pill is the way to enter the past time and space. It can also be understood as a medium, but it is not that the whole person enters the past time and space, but the Yuanying enters."
Bai Jing said with a smile: "You are really three cobblers who stand up to one Zhuge Liang. A complicated matter was explained clearly and clearly by the three of you, sentence by sentence, as if it were true. Is this true?"
"Nine times out of ten." Ning Tao's answer was simple but powerful.
The smile on Bai Jing's face slowly disappeared. She didn't believe it at first, but Ning Tao was so sure that she had to look at the matter from another angle. Yuanying went into the past time and space to find an elixir. Even if such a thing was done to her, a well-informed snake demon who had lived for hundreds of years, it would be a mysterious and bizarre thing!
The four of them were inexplicably silent.
Hu Xiaoji slightly awakened and said those words. She thought she touched the corner of the truth, but she didn't expect that what she touched was only one corner of the iceberg. Behind it was a huge iceberg covered by clouds and fog!
Jingle bell, jingle bell…
Ning Tao's cell phone suddenly rang with an incoming call.
Ning Tao took out his phone and took a look at it, then raised a finger on his lips.
Yin Molan, Bai Jing and Jiang Hao immediately held their breath. They knew who was calling without having to guess.
Ning Tao opened the answer button: "Say."
Lin Qinghua's voice came from the mobile phone: "Tomorrow evening, you should know that place on the northern slope of the Holy Mountain in Western Province. You bring what I want and come alone. If there is one more person, I will cut off Ge Ming's Head. Don’t think we’re familiar, I’m kidding you, I mean what I say.”
Ning Tao said coldly: "I want to listen to Ge Ming's voice."
Two seconds later, Ge Ming's voice suddenly came from the phone: "Taozi, save me..."
Just one sentence, and before he even had time to shout it out, the phone moved away.
"I've said everything that needs to be said. See you tomorrow evening." Lin Qinghua hung up the phone.
Ning Tao was so angry that his cell phone almost exploded.
Jiang Hao grabbed Ning Tao's hand: "A Tao, don't worry, let's find a solution together."
A cold feeling penetrated from his hands and spread all over his body, and Ning Tao's anger suddenly disappeared a lot. Qing Zhui is great at stirring up fire, but Jiang Hao is an expert in putting out fires with the ability to freeze.
"What did he say?" Bai Jing asked.
Ning Tao said: "The location is the north slope of the Holy Mountain, where Zhu Hongyu was killed. The time is tomorrow evening, but I am only allowed to go there alone."
"Are you going alone?" Jiang Hao denied: "That won't work, it would be too dangerous. He has made it clear that he has dug a hole and is waiting for you to jump."
Bai Jing also said: "This time you must be calm and don't be fooled. You can go to save people. We will go with you. It's best to bring my sister with us. We are a family. How can you let you go at this time?" Going on an adventure alone?"
For her and Jiang Hao, Ge Ming's life and death were not important at all. What was important was Ning Tao.
Ning Tao was silent for a moment before saying: "Yes, we are a family, and we fight together. You go and prepare now. Let's go to the Tingri base camp first, which is still some distance from the north slope. Let's camp there and take a look first. Let’s talk about the situation.”
A few minutes later.
Sunshine Orphanage.
A door of convenience opened, Ning Tao walked out of the door of convenience, and immediately saw Qing Zhui standing by the window looking outside.
"Brother Ning!" Hearing the noise behind him, Qing Zhui turned around and plunged into Ning Tao's arms.
Ning Tao hugged her and whispered, "Is there nothing going on here?"
Qing Zhui said: "No, the bodies have been disposed of, and Su Ya is also awake."
"Su Ya..." Ning Tao couldn't finish her words because she saw a familiar figure passing by the window, it was Su Ya.
Under the illumination of the street lamp, her face was still so delicate and beautiful, with a slightly childish feeling, and her whole body exuded a youthful and lively atmosphere.
At this moment, Ning Tao couldn't help but want to call her, but the words fell silent again.
"Li Xiaoyu! Are you going to rebel? Stop!" Su Ya ran over and lost sight of her.
Ning Tao sighed, feeling disappointed in his heart.
"Do you want to meet her?" Qing asked.
Ning Tao shook his head: "What's the use of meeting me? She doesn't remember me anymore. She has nothing to do with this place. Let's go to the Western Province."
"Why are you going to Western Province?" Qing asked.
"Fuck them!" Ning Tao's eyes flashed with a cold light.
