After the ascension failed, I picked up the protagonist's golden finger

Xiao Wu looked straight into his eyes, not surprised by his change, and asked, "How can I seal Yuanhe completely?"

His voice was very flat, and Gu Lao had a bit of astonishment in his eyes for a moment, as if he didn't expect Xiao Wu to ask such a question, not about his identity.

"You... Aren't you curious about my identity?"

Xiao Wu: "Those who can survive the abyss of crime all carry some unspeakable secrets."

"That's what you told me once."

Xiao Wu spoke very sincerely, Gu Lao sighed, suddenly turned to look at Shen Shubai, and asked curiously: "What about you? Don't you want to ask me?"

Shen Shubai thought for a while, and asked a question that he was most concerned about now: "Senior, may I ask who is buried under the Yuan River?"

As soon as these words came out, Elder Gu's face froze for a moment, and after a while, he spoke hoarsely, and asked, "Who told you that there are people buried below?"

When he asked that question, Shen Shubai was ready to escape, but before he crushed the talisman, he found that the whole person was frozen in place and could not move at all. The time in this space seemed to be captured by something in an instant As if frozen, he bit the tip of his tongue to keep himself awake, but his consciousness became more and more dull, and finally, he passed out.

When I woke up again, my ears seemed to be filled with the sound of water hitting the river bank.

Feeling the empty spiritual power in his body, and realizing where this is, Shen Shubai chose to pretend to be dizzy as if to avoid it.

He chose to pretend to be dizzy, but it didn't mean that anyone would want to let him go.

Elder Gu looked at the young man in front of him, and his tone sounded a bit puzzled: "Aren't you awake yet?"

Shen Shubai could feel the people approaching, he was sure to run, but he hesitated for some reason.

Then he was slapped lightly on the forehead.

Shen Shubai:!

What are you doing!

He jumped up all at once, although it wasn't that intense, but he looked at him very unkindly.

The man was wearing a blue gown and a delicate mask that covered the left half of his face, but it could still be seen that he had very handsome facial features. He was looking at Shen Shubai at the moment, with the corners of his lips slightly hooked.

Seeing that he stretched out his hand again, Shen Shubai thought that he wanted to pat his head again, so he immediately avoided it, only to hear a chuckle.

The man looked at Shen Shubai leisurely and straightened his clothes, as if he was a little amused by Shen Shubai.

Shen Shubai: ...

"What's wrong, you thought I was going to hit you?"

This is really which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.

Feeling very embarrassed seeing people, Elder Gu took out a fan out of nowhere, and unfolded it with a bang, he stopped teasing Shen Shubai, and asked very curiously: "When did you find out that this is an illusion?"

Mentioning this, Shen Shubai's face darkened: "You don't care when I found out."

"It seems that I just discovered it."

The man did the translation by himself, and his tone seemed to be full of disgust.

"Tsk, it's too slow."

Shen Shubai: Yes, this is an obvious dislike.

The key point is that what others said was the truth, Shen Shubai was powerless to refute, he just coughed slightly and asked, "We know each other?"

I don't know why, this person always gives Shen Shubai a very familiar feeling, and he has been showing kindness to Shen Shubai all the time. Although he has been hinting that he may be the ultimate big boss, but Shen Shubai just can't really be vigilant towards him, then People seemed a little surprised by Shen Shubai's question, but he quickly let go, smiled indifferently, and said, "Who do you think I am?"

Shen Shubai: ...I can't talk anymore.

Shen Shubai: "Then what's your name?"

The man seemed to have remembered something very interesting, and said, "Didn't you call me senior?"

"Just call me senior."

He was obviously making fun of Shen Shubai, but Shen Shubai still couldn't really get angry with him, sighed, sat down simply, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip.

The fragrance of the tea is clear and sweet, but the faint bitterness turns into another kind of fragrance and stays between the lips and teeth, Shen Shu's white eyes are bright.

Good tea!

The man also sat down, moved gracefully, took a sip, and asked, "Do you know where this is?"

Shen Shubai drank his tea, and his attitude became better, but maybe this person was too much just now, so Shen Shubai didn't even think about it, and said perfunctorily: "Illusion."

The man laughed again, and muttered: "Do you want to hold grudges like this?"

"Ok?"

Shen Shubai didn't hear clearly, the man shook his head and said, "Just call me Qi Bai."

Shen Shubai: "Oh."

Who is fooled by the nickname, this is not the real name, but the attitude towards him is still better.

"This is Yuanhe?"

Now that he answered Shen Shubai's question, Shen Shubai also answered him a question symbolically, Qi Bai smiled and said, "Yes, you are very smart."

The thick black fog completely covered the river, but just listening to the movements he made, it seemed that through the fog, one could imagine the majesty of the river.

Shen Shubai asked again: "Are we above the river?"

Qi Bai slightly raised his hand, and the white mist that had been covering his sight dissipated, and Shen Shubai saw clearly that they were on a stone platform.

It may be that he just used a trick to deceive his eyes. Shen Shubai always thought that the stone platform was very big, but in fact, after the fog cleared, the stone platform was just small enough to accommodate the two of them.

Probably that is, if Shen Shubai just jumped a little more, he would be in free fall.

The ground beneath his feet also became transparent. Although he was still completely blocked by the black mist, he could cover his sight, but he couldn't cover up the rushing water vapor, which spread over the surface in strands and strands, and it was actually a bit comfortable.

This made Shen Shubai a little surprised: "This is?"

Qi Bai wiped his hands slowly, looked at Shen Shubai with brown pupils, and said, "Yuanhe."

"Is it a little different from what you imagined?"

Shen Shubai: "Yes."

Qi Bai said: "It was not like this before."

After speaking, he shook his head first, as if caught in a memory, and said, "I actually don't remember clearly."

Qi Bai sighed, and said: "In my impression, everyone seems to think that the Yuan River is a river, but in fact there is no water here."

After finishing speaking, he pushed away the black mist, revealing Yuan He's true appearance.

Shen Shubai can be said to be very shocked.

Although the empty riverbed looks very blurry, there is no way to see half of the river, not even water vapor.

Qi Bai said: "This is the current Yuanhe."

Shen Shubai: "It's a little surprising."

Qi Bai patted himself on the head, which seemed to be a movement he was used to thinking about. It was not the first time Shen Shubai saw him doing this movement, but every time he changed to doing other things halfway.

Qi Bai didn't realize it, he was still trying to remember, and it took him a long time to say: "In my impression, this is not a river either."

Qi Bai could only vaguely feel that, in his impression, what flowed in this river was a black and viscous thing.

In it, mixed with all the greed, hatred and obsession that could not find its destination in this world, in the struggle of unknown years, it was boiled into the most instinctive evil thoughts.

If you get closer, you will be contaminated with great karma, so he doesn't want to think about it at all.

Qi Bai said: "But it's not a good thing. In the future, just don't go."

What he said was a little inexplicable, Shen Shubai said: "I shouldn't be able to go either, right?"

Qi Bai smiled and said, "That's naturally the best."

Shen Shubai always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something important, and suddenly said: "By the way, do you know where Xiao Wu went?"

He was originally chasing Xiao Wu, but he just remembered the matter when he thought of the Demon Realm.

Qi Bai said: "I know."

"However, if you want to know his clues, you have to answer me first, who is he to you?"

Shen Shubai: ...

Are the demons gossiping like this now?

He even had the illusion that he was being forced by his parents to admit his illegitimate child. Realizing that he was being teased again, he said angrily, "What else could it be? Could it be my illegitimate child?"

After finishing speaking, Shen Shubai was also a little surprised, how could he express his inner thoughts.

Qi Bai choked his throat with a sip of tea, and it took him a long time to start laughing, he didn't know where he touched his laughing point, he laughed so hard that he lay down on the table, unable to straighten up.

Shen Shubai reached out and knocked on the stone platform, Qi Bai managed to stop laughing, and deliberately dragged out a long voice: "Oh~"

At any rate, he was concerned about Shen Shubai's face, he didn't say the word "illegitimate child", Shen Shubai was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but thinking of his current strength in fighting the five scum, he endured it.

Qi Bai watched Shen Shubai's complexion turn black, he glanced at a certain place calmly, and said, "You don't have to worry about him, he's fine."

Shen Shubai: "Really?"

Qi Bai: "Really, he's a big kid, what kind of illusion can he enter."

Shen Shubai thought about it, yes, and then asked another person.

"Then, what about Xu Sui?"

When Xu Sui was mentioned, Shen Shubai's expression was clearly displeased, Qi Bai frowned, and said, "Who is this person? I've never heard of it."

Shen Shubai just wanted to say that he was joking, but when he saw Qi Bai's figure swaying, he seemed to be much thinner.

For a while, neither of them spoke, Qi Bai picked up the teacup, and started to drink tea as if drinking wine.

Shen Shubai thought for a while, picked up the teacup, and said, "I'll accompany you."

Qi Bai asked: "To be honest, how did you recognize me?"

He had always been chatting, and Shen Shubai gradually relaxed, saying, "Your face."

"what?"

Shen Shubai thought for a while and said, "I saw the face of the Buddha statue clearly before I entered the illusion."

"Your face is exactly like that."

Qi Bai: ...

In fact, no illusion can be perfect, and there are many flaws, which can be traced now, such as why the system always talks about him, clearly looking at the enchantment from the outside, but the same thing appears every day.

For example, why does Xiao Wu seem to be very familiar with him.

Shen Shubai didn't quite understand it at first, but now that he savors it carefully, he can actually think it through.

Not really, because Shen Shubai didn't finish reading that novel at all, so in the illusion, he has been making up the outline in his head!

Qi Bai was very silent after hearing this, as if he hadn't thought that he would lose here.

After a while, he quietly asked, "Is that Buddha statue handsome?"

He was so pale that he couldn't see clearly, but he was still concerned about this question. Just as Shen Shubai was about to answer, he heard Qi Bai suddenly say something irrelevant to the topic.

"The tea seems to be cold."

Shen Shubai didn't know why, so he saw Qi Bai stand up, and the familiar feeling of dizziness came again. Shen Shubai felt a great sadness from his heart, and tried not to close his eyes, but there was still a cloud in front of him.

Shen Shubai knew that it was Qi Bai's gesture. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound.

Before Shen Shubai completely lost consciousness, he only heard a very clear voice.

It's Qi Bai.

Shen Shubai heard him say.

"Qi Bai, bid farewell to my old friend."

The author has something to say:

Say goodbye to old friends.
