Wen Jiubai was obviously taken aback when he heard my question. At this moment, without warning, the ground suddenly began to shake violently!
Several of us were defenseless and nearly fell to the ground.
"What, what's going on?" Bai jumped up, seemingly startled, "Is there an earthquake?"
It's really like an earthquake. The three of us quickly ran out of the house, and at this moment, the shaking of the ground stopped.
"No, it's not an earthquake." Wen Jiubai said calmly.
"How do you know?" I asked.
Wen Jiubai pointed to the sky, "Have you ever seen an earthquake trigger such a situation?"
Following Wen Jiubai's gaze, I also raised my head. An astonishing scene appeared, the sky suddenly began to darken completely, and the originally glaring sun could be seen directly with the naked eye. The sun's light gradually weakened within the range visible to the naked eye, and in the end, the surrounding scenery was completely darkened, almost like night. And the sun's light gradually changed from dazzling yellow to a very faint red light.
For a moment, I couldn't understand what happened, "Is this a solar eclipse?"
"The sun isn't missing at all, it's not a solar eclipse." Wen Jiubai said calmly, "Someone covered this area with an enchantment."
"Could it be, Xu Yingchen?" I was surprised, "But why did he do this!"
The expressions of Wen Jiubai and Bai became serious, and I seemed to be an idiot who didn't know anything between them.
"You bastard, do you think you can do whatever you want by killing Wen Jiubai?" Bai frowned.
"Wait, what's going on?" I pulled Wen Jiubai's sleeve and asked, I didn't want to be taken as a fool at this time.
However, Wen Jiubai seems determined to make me look like a fool. Instead of answering my question, he shook his head.
"The following is the entanglement between me and him. It should be time for me to step forward." Wen Jiubai said, "Your mission is over, and you can't help much."
Hearing Wen Jiubai's words, I immediately became angry.
"What do you mean? Treat me as a tool for your resurrection, and throw it away after use?"
But Wen Jiubai didn't have any intention of arguing with me, he just gave me a flat look, "It's fine if you want to understand it this way, anyway, your meddling will only hinder our affairs. So you still stay in the old house Wait for the news. Although this place has been almost destroyed by Ling Xiao, there is still a minimum level of barriers that can protect you from being eroded by demons and monsters. It is the safest place now."
I was dumbfounded, "Are you kidding! I absolutely can't stay here and do nothing!"
Unexpectedly, Wen Jiubai's tone suddenly became tough, "I'm not discussing with you now."
Before I could understand what he meant, he suddenly walked towards me. I felt a pain in my shoulder, and my center of gravity was unstable, so I fell directly on the floor of the room.
This guy! — This guy actually pushed me to the ground
I got up from the ground in pain, and just about to rush over to teach Wen Jiubai a lesson, but he closed the door of the main house.
"Wen Jiubai!" I immediately rushed over to try to pull the door open, but the door, which was clearly unlocked, couldn't be pulled open no matter what. It must have been enchanted by that guy outside.
That bastard Wen Jiubai locked me in the main house without even thinking about it!
"Wen Jiubai!" I slammed the door hard, "Let me out! What kind of international joke are you playing!"
"My answer is 'no'." Wen Jiubai's voice outside the door was actually quite leisurely, "I said, you will only become a burden if you come here, and you won't be able to help at all."
"Even so, you should at least tell me what happened outside!" I put my face close to the window and yelled, "Let me out!"
"Just this time, just be obedient. Then trust me, I will come back to you." Wen Jiubai also moved his face close to the window, tapped his fingers on the glass, and smiled, "And, like I said. Your death is the last thing I want to see in my life."
"Hey!" I yelled, still smashing the glass and the door without giving up, but they didn't move at all, and my hands hurt from the smashing.
"Bai, let's go." I heard Wen Jiubai's and Bai's voices gradually drifting away until I could neither see nor hear them.
This—asshole! It turned out - really! Lock me up here!
I kicked the door angrily, but this action had no meaning at all except that it made my feet hurt more.
The final result was that I sat on the ground with my arms around my feet and grinned, but the door was still not opened.
Damn Wen Jiubai, if he is still alive, next time I see him, I will definitely beat him into the crack of the underworld again.
Even though I think so, I can't do anything now except stare at the window in a daze.
I looked at the world outside the window, except for the faint light of the sun, it was completely night.
Darkness enveloped the earth. For some reason, such a sentence popped out of my mind inexplicably.
If my sacrifice can be exchanged for the peace of the earth, then what's the harm in sacrificing one person
No, no, that's not my idea. Sacrifice or not, now is not the time to sacrifice, I can't even escape from this room.
I shook my head, trying to get back the weird thoughts that popped up out of nowhere just now. I got up and started pacing the room.
This is the main house of "Exorcism Pavilion", and also the main house of the whole old house. Although for those who come to the old house for the first time, its location is actually not easy to find. Because Wen Jiubai's pharmacy "Jishitang" is actually closer to the gate, which is the room where people who visit the old house usually go.
But I remember that when I walked into the old house for the first time, I simply ignored the conspicuous Jishi hall, and went straight to the deeper Demon Elimination Pavilion. This may be some kind of fate in the dark.
This main house is the room I spend the most time in. Wen Jiubai's hobbies are all piled up here. Including all kinds of strange books that I don't understand, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, spells made of silk, and in the middle drawer of these retro gadgets, there are also a bunch of PSP, 3DS game consoles and related game cards. They were all Wen Jiubai's treasures.
But now... I looked into the house. It was a mess, not to mention those precious old books, scattered all over the place, some of them seemed to have been trampled on, and I couldn't bear to look directly at them. Furniture, tables and chairs, and Wen Jiubai's precious game consoles were all thrown on the ground and smashed to pieces.
When I was here, I often wanted to play his game console and he wouldn't let me play it. Even if he did, he would have told me not to break it, but now Xu Yingchen has made it like this. At this time, I couldn't help but start to admire Wen Jiubai. If it were me, I would not be rational enough to come up with such a careful and bold plan under such circumstances.
I couldn't bear to see this mess again, so I got up and walked to the back room.
The back room is Wen Jiubai's bedroom, which is connected to the main room through a curtain. Sometimes I wonder what Wen Jiubai needs a bedroom for, after all, I have never seen him sleep when I was with him.
I opened the curtain and walked into the bedroom. Fortunately, the things in the bedroom were not damaged in any way. It seems that the main battlefield was the main house at that time, and Xu Yingchen and his gang probably didn't come here.
Without thinking about it, I threw myself on Wen Jiubai's tidy big bed.
Sure enough, there was no smell. My chaotic brain thought in a daze. Wen Jiubai probably seldom sleeps here, he probably doesn't need to sleep.
Even so, he put a large bed here that occupies the most space, why
Could it be that even Wen Jiubai wishes he could be more human
Ah, if Wen Jiubai knew that I was lying on his bed right now covered in mud and blood, he might be so mad at me. No, if that's the case, just shift the responsibility to Xu Yingchen. That is to say, Xu Yingchen did the dirty work at that time.
I thought about it in silence. Once the spirit is relaxed, the wound on the body before starts to hurt.
By the way, it was caught by that monster's claw at that time. There should be a pretty ugly cut on my back, and there should be bruises on my arms and legs, and I'm aching all over my body.
I remember that there should be some first aid supplies in Wen Jiubai's bedroom. Rationally, I knew that I should get up from the bed at this time, look for the first aid kit, and simply bandage the wound for myself. But right now I was really tired, I didn't have any motivation to get up, I struggled on the bed for a long time, and finally chose to stay where I was, and fell here thinking wildly.
The room was filled with Wen Jiubai's aura.
He sits here, reads a book here, and closes his eyes to meditate here. Maybe, before I was born, he had spent thousands of years here.
Thinking of this, it suddenly occurred to me that outside the door of this room, under the door plaque of "Quyao Pavilion", there is always a strange couplet.
I didn't know it at first, but now that I think about it carefully, the couplet is clearly Wen Jiubai's own handwriting. Is that the couplet he wrote down
—The contract of life and death is thousands of times.
——I have not known you and you have left.
What does that couplet mean
When I was thinking in such a daze, there was a sudden sharp pain in my head, which almost made me roll off the bed.
what happened? Why does my head hurt so much all of a sudden
I remember that although the series of events just now were thrilling and exciting, I shouldn't have done such a stupid thing as hitting my own head, right
But the situation no longer allowed me to think wildly, and the pain became more and more severe. I was like a deep-sea fish caught on the shore, breathing quickly, but I couldn't take in a breath of oxygen.
It was pitch black.
