soul collector

Pan Jie jokingly said: "Xiaoji Hunfan probably didn't dare to compete for food in front of the senior, so he gave up."

As if to confirm his words, the soul-collecting banner in his hand reacted more violently.Pan Jie smiled indifferently and asked Ye Zhiheng to follow, turned around and was about to walk up the mountain, but Tang Xiu suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

"what happened?"

Tang Xiu stretched out his hand to Ye Zhiheng, "Give me your soul-collecting banner."

"Oh." Ye Zhiheng silently handed it over. Seeing Tang Xiu staring at his soul-collecting banner with scrutiny, he felt a lot of pressure, and felt ashamed that his own child was not up to date.He waited for a while, swallowed and whispered: "What's wrong, ancestor?"

"Although seniority is also considered among the soul-collecting banners, this is a place where countless soul threads wander, and it is natural for the soul-collecting banners to respond. Even if it is deliberately humble in front of seniors, it shouldn't be unresponsive at all."

Ye Zhiheng was dumbfounded, "What do you mean?"

Tang Xiu glanced at him, then looked back at the mountain covered under the morning mist, suddenly changed his mind, and said, "Let's go back. Come again tonight. Pan Jie and I don't bring the soul-collecting flags. See if your soul-collecting banner responds."

Chi Long's eyes widened, "I searched, I searched all night, and after I found it, I'm leaving, leaving?"

"Yes." Tang Xiu said in a low voice: "The matter is of great importance, and I cannot tolerate any uncertainty."

Pan Jie reminded, "Don't forget that Jiang Qiao's life and death are still uncertain."

"If Han Yang wants him to die, he is already dead. If Han Yang's goal is not for him, then it's not too late."

"...I really want to know what your heart is made of."

Chi Long nodded cooperatively, "Gold, gold, diamond."

Tang Xiu looked back at him when he heard the words, Chi Long was startled, and scolded himself in his heart that he was not big or small, and immediately turned around, "It's worth it, it's worth it."

Pan Jie raised his hand and slapped him on the shoulder, "How many times have I told you, don't talk, you will die on your own mouth sooner or later."

"Oh."

Tang Xiu didn't join in the daily quarrel between the two of them. He walked back to the car and looked back.

The Jiaotu Mountain was covered with thick fog, and it was impossible to see its true face even though it was so close.He had a premonition that Jiang Qiao was here, waiting for him.

His fingers brushed the No.80 first soul grid lightly, and it was very quiet there. Since Jiang Qiao's accident, the No.80 first soul grid has not experienced any abnormal or violent changes. Maybe his guess in his heart is right, Han Yang's The purpose was not Jiang Qiao.

The old ancestor slightly hooked the corners of his lips, opened the door and got into the car, and said in a low voice, "Wait for me."

……

When Li Ziping finally found Tang Xiu, Tang Xiu was sitting in a bourgeois brunch restaurant near the company. There was only a glass of lemon sparkling water on the table. Tang Xiu didn't even wear a mask, and he sat there calmly brushing cell phone.

"You..." Li Ziping raised his voice and then retracted abruptly. He glanced at his surroundings. During working hours, the restaurant was empty. He quickly walked a few steps to Tang Xiu's side, and said in a low voice, "You worry-free person ! Why are you so angry with the media?"

Tang Xiu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Good morning."

"Why so early? I got into trouble yesterday morning and disappeared. I couldn't get in touch all day. There is no one at home. I can't get through the phone. Are you going to heaven?"

Tang Xiu yawned, "Yes."

"If someone from the company didn't come down to buy coffee and say they saw you, I would really call the police!" Li Ziping said with two big bags under his eyes, obviously up all night, pointing to the exploding Weibo message on his mobile phone : "Look for yourself, what stupid things did you say to the media? Wu Zimo's fans are all mad, launching wave after wave of general attacks to break through your topic square, how to deal with the aftermath, you say it yourself."

Tang Xiu didn't speak, he took a sip from the water glass on the table slowly, put it down, and said in a neutral tone: "It's not good, let them break it."

Li Ziping had a question mark on his face when he heard the words, and was so angry that he couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal. He sat opposite Tang Xiu and panted for a long time. Seeing Tang Xiu kept looking down at his phone, he couldn't help but leaned over and took a look. .

It was a good thing that he didn't take aim, but what Tang Xiu was looking at were the buildings that he and Jiang Qiao's CP fans had built in the gossip forum.All kinds of photos in the same frame in the building, picking out those sweet little details bit by bit, the storyline is all based on imagination, and the writing is the kind that goes all the way in the direction of sweetness and tooth decay.

Tang Xiu's expression looked the same as usual, but there seemed to be an emotion hidden in those black eyes.The huge glass wall of the restaurant makes the whole hall very transparent and has excellent lighting.Li Ziping faintly felt that his artist's eyes were sparkling, as if there were fierce waves under the calm sea.

He suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked tentatively, "Speaking of which, where is Director Jiang? Didn't you two return to the set yesterday? I heard from his assistant that he suddenly decided to take a break. You two won't leave together." circle?"

Tang Xiu hummed, still staring at the phone, and after a while he casually replied, "I'm thinking about it. I'll quit, he may not be sure."

When Li Ziping heard the words, he felt that his head was doubled, "No, my dear ancestor, you really want to quit the circle? What can't you think about? The career is going smoothly, and the popularity is rising like a rocket, until the end of the year There must be several film and television awards waiting for you, you tell me to quit the circle now?"

"Yeah." Tang Xiu's voice was very calm, "I'm getting tired of it."

"..."

"When I first came here, I told you that I like to watch operas, and I want to see the excitement in this circle. Now, I've almost watched it."

"Then what do you do after that?"

"Just..." Tang Xiu narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "Cultivate your body, cultivate your character, do good deeds, and travel."

"..."

"Accompany Jiang Qiao, accompany Xiao Xiaoxiu."

"..."

Li Ziping deeply understood what it means to have a headache.He closed his eyes and frowned and rubbed his temples for a long time. Just as he gathered up some strength to try to enlighten him, Tang Xiu's cell phone rang suddenly.

Tang Xiu immediately restrained his casual look, and stared at the text message from Ye Zhiheng he had just received on the screen with his black eyes.

——"Ancestor, I don't think it's right. After you and Senior Pan Jie left, I went again with my soul-collecting banner after a while, but my soul-collecting banner still didn't respond. I called another Go to the soul collector friend, but he didn't respond."

Li Ziping stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Tang Xiu, "Hey, what are you looking at? His eyes became fierce."

Tang Xiu glanced at him slowly, but his mind was obviously not on him. After a few seconds, Tang Xiu seemed to think of something suddenly, and said, "I'll deal with something, and I'll contact you when something happens."

"Hello!" Li Ziping looked at his artist like a master with light bones in a martial arts novel. His feet were like the wind and he arrived at the door in a few steps. The manager has gone out of his way?! Hey!"

——Tang Xiu has disappeared.

……

The black sports car galloped on the high speed, heading away from the urban area.The man driving the car had a grim expression, and he was very skillful in changing lanes and overtaking. He didn't seem to care how many tickets he would get for speeding.

——Tang Xiu looked at the news from Ye Zhiheng just now, and the strands of guesses in his mind before finally connected into a thread.There is a condition for an inheritor to become a true soul collector. He and Pan Jie have searched hard for so long but have not found anything. It is because this condition is not only restricted by a mysterious opportunity, but also limited by geographical location.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the universe began to breed soul collectors, which were truly born and raised.How could the inheritor want to become a soul collector with his flesh and blood without some special rituals?

Mount Jiaotu is the altar for this ceremony.

Jiaotu is the ninth son of the dragon, who guards the boundaries and order, and his character is no less serious than the soul collector.It is the last ancient great god sleeping between the heaven and the earth. He died with the ring in his hand, which indicates that although the god is dead, his spiritual consciousness will last forever and coexist with the heaven and the earth.Tang Xiu remembered that he had heard the long-dead predecessors in the prehistoric world describe the appearance of the great god, saying that he was fat and big ears, but it was passed down that Jiaotu turned into a six-sided sharp head after closing his eyes.

The six-pointed star symbolizes the new life of all things.Sleeping with a ring in your mouth means endless life.Perhaps this is the root of the different interpretations of the No. 80 one soul totem in the eyes of the ancestors and the inheritors.

Mount Jiaotu is an altar set up by God Jiaotu for inheritors.Jiaotu emphasizes order and likes to show off. Only the soul-collecting banners that have collected the first [-] souls are eligible to enter its eyes. Probably this is why the soul-collecting banners of those juniors are like dumb fires when they arrive at Jiaotu Mountain. No sound.

Under the protection of the ancient gods, unless they are of the same rank, who would dare to make mistakes?

Tang Xiu was driving faster and faster, the dashboard had already exceeded [-], and there was a beeping sound from the overtaking place, but he completely ignored it.

He glanced at the time, tapped his phone twice, and called Pan Jie.

"Hey?"

"Have you heard from Ye Zhiheng?"

"Received. Is there anything special about Jiaotu Mountain? I asked many old friends just now, and none of them have seen the Great God Jiaotu, but it is said that the place where the Great God Jiaotu passed away is a place with a strong dragon spirit. Jiaotu Mountain is reliable."

Tang Xiu hummed, "Come this way... Leave Chi Long to someone you trust to take care of him, and you come alone."

"What are you going to do?"

"Han Yang must be on Jiaotu Mountain. He is waiting for me." Tang Xiu said calmly, as if he was stating a well-known fact, "I figured it out. Jiaotu Mountain is an altar to awaken the inheritors, and the old and the new alternate. , The Great Festival of Heaven and Earth is not something that juniors can get involved in. You can delay the matter of awakening Chi Long first, and today, Jiang Qiao and I will try first."

"So what exactly are you going to do?" Pan Jie heard something wrong, "Altar? What kind of offering?"

"Senior."

"yourself?"

Tang Xiu hummed, glanced at the driveway next to him through the rearview mirror, quickly walked past, and then rushed forward to snatch it. "The ceremony is bound to go, but I always firmly believe that the world will not give birth to new blood at the cost of sacrificing ancient soul collectors, so I am not really worried about this."

"Then what are you worried about?"

Tang Xiu paused, and there was a trace of uncertainty in the depths of his firm black eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a low voice as if talking to himself: "I was thinking, since Han Yang knew all this, how could he know the truth? How can you be sure to hold us back?"

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a few seconds, and Pan Jie said, "Don't rush up when you get there, wait for me, I'm leaving now."

"it is good."
