Chapter 63 Dark Fog of the River Styx (7-5)

Su Ruo walked along the river for a while, and her shoes seemed to have water in them, which made her feel uncomfortable.As she walked, she pondered over the conversation between Wu De and Mu An just now.

Wu De thought that Su Ruo and Ji Yaoshen were both in that boat, and they were trapped by an unknown thing called "river eye" in the river; but Mu An knew that Su Ruo was hiding in the reeds. Lie to Wu De?Could it be that the spoils were not evenly distributed, that Mu An wanted to secretly unite with Ji Yaoxin to get rid of Wu De?

Su Ruo walked for more than ten minutes. In the misty fog, she saw an open water area beside the river. The water rippled softly in the mist, cold and damp. There was a small dead tree on the sand, and there was a figure He was leaning against the tree trunk with his head down, his long hair hanging down to cover half of his face, as if he was closing his eyes and resting his mind, but the posture of his hands and feet seemed very strange—it didn't look like a living person.Su Ruo paused in her steps, her heart skipping a beat.

She knew that Ji Yaoxin must have died, at least half a century ago.But now that Ji Yaoxin was sitting by the ominous water in a dead posture, Su Ruo felt extremely panicked.If Ji Yaoxin really died like this, becoming an immobile corpse, rotting into bones, would Su Ruo be able to walk out of these nightmares alone...

Perhaps feeling Su Ruo's sense of fear, Ji Yaoxin stood up, still facing Su Ruo sideways, Su Ruo walked over quickly, only half of Ji Yaoxin's face was covered by long hair, dripping water from the ends of her hair and the hem of her clothes .

"Are you injured?" Su Ruo asked.

"No, it's just that there are some troublesome things in the river, so I wasted some time," Ji Yaoxin said, turning her head, with a gentle expression, a beautiful face, and mist, like a veil between the two, Su Ruo felt a little Irritated, I wanted to tear off this layer of veil fiercely, "I think when you were waiting by the river, you already saw Mu Qu's younger brother, right?"

"Yes, I also heard him and Wu De talking. They were discussing refining Su Li...my soul." Su Ruo roughly told Ji Yaoxin what he had just heard. Overwhelming, Ji Yaoxin deliberately let her stay on the river bank, because she could hear or see something...

Su Ruo's heart was swinging back and forth between satisfaction and dissatisfaction.Ji Yaoxin trusted her ability and asked her to inquire about information; but if Su Ruo encountered any danger, would Ji Yaoxin show up in time?Su Ruo found that every second she spent with Ji Yaoxin was worrying about gains and losses, but she didn't know what she was worried about.

Ji Yaoxin gently took Su Ruo's hand, without saying anything.Her palms were as cold as ever, but this time they were extraordinarily cold, perhaps because they had been soaked in this resentful river for too long.Su Ruo silently followed her up the embankment, only a few tens of meters in the direction of the town, and the fog in front of her eyes suddenly dissipated; fog.

"Su Ruo, you may not know that a living person does not need a soul," Ji Yaoxin said suddenly, with a tone very similar to Zhao Zhongxiang, "Mu Que's younger brother is not dead, and it is useless for him to have [-]% of his soul. I think his purpose It's not about making this deal with Wu De."

"What would that be?"

Ji Yaoxin paused for a moment, she let go of Su Ruo's hand, turned around and looked at Su Ruo seriously: "I don't know what his real purpose is, but I know that Wu De does not need refining to devour his soul. So Wu De's purpose is not to make a deal with him."

"Oh, I see," Su Ruo suddenly realized, "That means we don't have to do anything, just watch them fight?"

Ji Yaoxin glanced at Su Ruo coldly, as if she didn't quite understand what she was talking about.

"I don't need to know what kind of grudge between the two of them. We need to get that half soul back as soon as possible, that's what we have to do, and then we can get out of here. I don't like this place either, it's too humid. "Ji Yaoxin's tone was firm, Su Ruo thought for a while, but said nothing.

Ji Yaoxin walked slowly towards the small town along the poplar path. Su Ruo stood there for a few seconds, then lowered his head and followed Ji Yaoxin listlessly.Now she has the same number of souls as ordinary people, so even if the half is lost, it doesn't seem to matter much, even if it is returned to Zhao in the end, Su Li will not come back...Of course, Su Ruo will not tell Ji Yaoxin this, because Ji Yaoxin is right Her affairs are more concerned than Su Ruo herself.

But what is all this for?Why did Ji Yaoxin do these things for Su Ruo?Are there benefits for new hires?

"I met Heyan in the river just now." Ji Yaoxin said easily while walking, as if talking about the weather, "I sank to the bottom of the water and saw a large tomb or underground palace under the water, part of which was covered The water has soaked and collapsed, and I can’t see anything from the regulations. But the deeper space should not have been flooded. Because I was worried about you, I didn’t check it carefully.”

"What is river eye?" Su Ruo asked.

"It's similar to the eye of the earth. There is the deepest place in the center of the river. Some are man-made, and some are natural. The river eye I encountered must be man-made, and there are other things under it." Ji Yaoxin said.

"Although I don't understand it, I think it's very powerful." Su Ruo said incomprehensibly.

Ji Yaoxin turned around suddenly, which shocked Su Ruo a lot. She saw Ji Yaoxin's worried face, and the frowning of eyebrows made Su Ruo feel distressed: "Su Ruo, Wu De has been by my side for 20 years. , I have always doubted Wu De's identity. Maybe what I was most worried about happened. Wu De is not a water ghost, he is a water monster."

"Is there a difference?" Su Ruo asked, feeling that he couldn't connect Wu Dewen's gentle appearance with the dinosaur-like water monster in Loch Ness.

"Wu De is Wuzhiqi." Ji Yaoxin bit her lip, not knowing whether she was nervous or afraid. Su Ruo rarely saw Ji Yaoxin have such an expression, but even such an expression was fleeting, and Ji Yaoxin was as usual Calm and gentle.Su Ruo thought of Wuzhiqi, the legendary water monster in the Huaihe River. If Wu De is really Wuzhiqi, he can create a misty illusion, which makes sense.Then, she once saw Wu Demeng drowning in the river because of picking up money in a hallucination, it must be the reason why Wu Demeng lied to Nana.

"You don't want to conflict with Wu De?" Su Ruo suddenly realized.Ji Yaoshen seems to be a mountain god, and Wu De is a water monster. From the perspective of jurisdiction, the two should be evenly matched, and Wu Zhiqi is a water monster in ancient mythology, so it should be more powerful.

"I don't care about conflicting with him. I'm not afraid of Wuzhiqi," Ji Yaoxin said, smiling slightly at Su Ruo, "but I don't know what he wants to do, whether he really wants to refine that half of the soul, so I He has to be found. If it's too late, it's too late."

"I have a question to ask you." Su Ruo took a deep breath and asked the question she had always wanted to know, "Why did you do this for me?"

"Because I only have you by my side now." Ji Yaoxin replied almost without thinking, just like inputting "howareyou" can immediately get the function formula of "i'thankyouandyou?"

The two walked back to the small town and sat down in the room where they rested.Su Ruo leaned against the wall and slept for a while, feeling that there were always insects around her body. When she opened her eyes, she saw a few gnats crawling past her in a hurry.When I opened my eyes, I found that it was already dark, and there was the sound of pattering rain outside the window whose frame had long since disappeared, accompanied by a damp smell.Ji Yaoxin was busy in the room, and there were incense ash all over the ground, and complex patterns were drawn on each puddle of incense ash.

"Are you practicing calligraphy?" Su Ruo asked, yawning.

Ji Yaoxin glanced at her: "I'm beckoning ghosts."

Su Ruo hurriedly got up from the ground: "Why do you have to recruit ghosts if you don't agree with each other?"

"Wu De is avoiding me. If the conventional method can't make him appear, we can only try an unconventional method." Ji Yaoxin said, gently wrapping a red thread between his fingers.Su Ruo looked at the other party, wondering if it was because of the light, Ji Yaoxin's lips were purple in color, like ripe poisonous cherries, a bit strange and dangerously alluring.

She took out her mobile phone from her pocket and looked at it. It was almost twelve midnight.

"Let's go." Ji Yaoxin said to her.Su Ruo was still hesitating, the wind blowing in made her a little scared, so Ji Yaoxin came over and took Su Ruo's hand, as if grasping Su Ruo's lifeline, Su Ruo obediently followed her out of the room.

The scene in the small town is very strange: sweeping away the desolate and decadent appearance before, there are lights and festoons everywhere, and the buildings look new under the red lanterns hanging on the street, but the style is very old, like a newly built movie theater.Many men, women and children are walking in one direction on the bluestone road. They are wearing ancient costumes from unknown dynasties, and they all have beaming smiles on their faces, talking and laughing, like a group of extraordinarily talented performers—the weirdest The matter was so lively, but Su Ruo couldn't hear their talking and laughing, she could only hear the pattering rain at night, and the desolate whistle of the wind blowing from the tip of the grass and the ruined wall.

"So, these are ghosts?" Su Ruo asked Ji Yaoxin tremblingly.She doesn't mind her fear, because Ji Yaoxin feeds on her fear.

Ji Yaoxin didn't know what method to use to bring Su Ruo to the town several years ago.These men, women and children didn't know where they were going. They were all wearing brand-new clothes, and they were probably having some kind of celebration, like the Lantern Festival or something.The light of the lantern illuminated the smiles on the faces of these ghosts. Su Ruo glanced around, but still concentrated on studying the skirts of her clothes.

"Well, let's follow them, maybe I can see Wu De tonight." Ji Yaoxin said, and the two of them mixed into the happy "people" group and walked out of the town.Su Ruo heard the faint sound of flowing water in the distant river, and fear suddenly swept over him.
