Chapter two hundred and fifty first deceived
It was already late at night when I returned to the water. The Jiumu Ferryman had already returned on the river. He couldn't see the shadow of the boat when he stood on the river. Ouyang Li took me to look around, and then walked forward. As he walked, the water ghost emerged from the river on one side and stood there looking at us.
Maybe I didn't dare to act rashly, so I could only stand not far away and look at Ouyang Li and me.
It was really pitiful to see him like that, so I looked at Ouyang Li, and I still didn't understand why he was unwilling to take the water ghost.
Then Ouyang Li walked so that I could enjoy the beautiful scenery. When we reached the shore, it was almost dawn. Looking back at the water ghost who followed me and Ouyang Li all the way, he had already knelt on one knee on the ground and said, "Zhu Youxiao bid farewell to the Ghost King."
Zhu Youxiao?
I seem to have heard of it somewhere, which reminds me of Zhu Youjian, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I wonder if he was a prince or something?
Ouyang Li stood on the shore and looked at Zhu Youxiao, the water ghost who was bowing on the water, and remained silent. Then Zhu Youxiao sank into the water before dawn.
Seeing Zhu Youxiao leave, I looked at Ouyang Li's but unknowing face. I don't know what he was thinking. I always feel that he is unwilling to accept Zhu Youxiao. But just now, Zhu Youxiao said he was farewell, and I felt that Zhu Youxiao's water ghost was determined to follow him.
Ouyang Li stood on the river bank for a while, turned around and walked towards the Jiumu Ferry's boat. Jiumu Ferry seemed to have known that we had come back safely, walked out of the boat, nodded when he saw us, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the Jiumu Du people, he must have been worried that he had not had a good rest for us all night.
"I've been busy all night to take a break. I've prepared the meal. You have to eat and rest. I'll take you back." The Jiumu Du said as he went to the side and cooked the food. Ouyang Li and I sat aside and waited, planning to go back after dinner.
Ouyang Li didn't know what was wrong, she seemed to be absent-minded and sat a little dazed.
I asked Ouyang Li if he was still thinking about the water ghost, and Ouyang Li forced a smile at me, "It's not the water ghost, it's Zong Wuze and the others."
"What's wrong with them?" I asked, and Ouyang Li stopped talking. Jiumu Dun came and asked us to come over for dinner. Ouyang Li and I got up to have dinner. After dinner, Jiumu Dun said we wanted to take us back. Ouyang Li said he wanted to take us to a place with a car and we took a taxi back.
The Jiumudu people were quite generous. They took us to a place where we had a car and paid for the car money first, and then drove away. Ouyang Li and I also drove back in the car. No matter how fast the car was driving along the way, it was almost as fast as Ouyang Li and I were returning.
Without resting for a night, Ouyang Li asked me to rest for a while, but I thought that he had not rested for a night, so I asked him to rest as well. He didn't say anything, leaned against the side and slept for a while. When he fell asleep, I opened my eyes to look at him. Maybe he was really tired and fell asleep, but I don't know what happened. After falling asleep, Ouyang Li's eyes always moved, and his brows were constantly frowning, especially a red line appeared in the middle of his brow.
I thought I was confused, so I reached out and touched it, sure that I didn't see anything, so I felt relieved. At this time, the car in the west line had already arrived at the city where we were.
The driver asked where we were, so I mentioned the address of Antique Street and then sent us there.
When I arrived at the place, Ouyang Li had already woken up. After opening his eyes, he got out of the car with me. When the driver left, Ouyang Li turned around and looked at the door of Yin and Yang Office. He did not go in directly, but stood there.
Every time I come back, the porcelain doll will call me a few words. Today I don’t know what’s wrong, but there is no movement at all. I am so surprised that I can’t do it, so I pushed the door and went in. As a result, when I entered, the Yin-Yang Firm was in a mess, and it was full of rags everywhere, as if it had been a long time since I lived there. When I saw these, I was stunned, and my heart was jumping wildly. Could something have happened?
It was getting late at this time, and the yard was a little dark. You could vaguely see the corner, but there was no ghost in the yard. The ghosts in Yin and Yang Office were gone.
I didn't care about anything else, so I ran into it. When I went in, I looked at it one by one, but I didn't find anything when I came out. Not to mention a figure, or a ghost, I couldn't find it.
"Are there?" I turned around and looked at Ouyang Li who had already entered the door. Ouyang Li frowned, looked around for a while, and then looked at the porcelain doll at the door. There was no movement at this time, so I ran over to look at the porcelain doll. The seal on it was gone, indicating that someone had taken the porcelain doll away.
I was a little panicked now and looked up at Ouyang Li.
Ouyang Li said: "I've been captured, it's okay."
I felt much more relieved with Ouyang Li's words, but my heart was still full of ups and downs. The only thing I thought of was Half Monster. I stepped on and ran to Half Monster. As a result, the door of Half Monster was still locked. I touched the lock on the Half Monster's door panel. I thought that Half Monster probably hadn't come back, and I felt much more at ease.
But at this time I didn't know what to do. It was a good thing that half of the men did not come back and was not captured. So how are Zong Wuze and Ye Wanzhen doing now?
Thinking of this, I turned around and went to find Ouyang Li again. At this time, Ouyang Li was standing at the door of Yin and Yang Office. I didn't know what he was thinking, staring at the front.
When I saw me walking over Ouyang Li, I said, "We are going to find them."
"Yeah." I agreed, Ouyang Li glanced around: "Hanmian is almost time to come back, let's wait for half of the face."
"Yeah." I still agreed, knowing in my heart that I must calm down at this time. Ouyang Li has always been calmer than me, so I should listen to Ouyang Li.
Then Ouyang Li took me to wait at the door of Yin-Yang Firm. While waiting, I asked Ouyang Li: "Did Yuwen Xiu deliberately send us away and then attack Zong Wuze and the others?"
Ouyang Li did not answer, but his eyes told me that I was right.
Knowing this, I sat in front of the door, talking to Ouyang Li while looking at the moon in the sky, and asked him some things about Yuwen Xiu. Ouyang Li didn't say much, but he also said something.
He said that Yuwen Xiu had not become a demon yet, otherwise he would not have cheated us out so much. As for the arrest of Zong Wuze and Ye Wanzhen, Ouyang Li would not say it, but I always felt that Ouyang Li had guessed what Yuwen Xiu wanted to do, but he didn't want to say it and wanted me to worry.
He didn't say anything, so I stopped asking, but I actually fell asleep while sitting. When I woke up, it was dawn, and half of the sky was dawn and not yet back.
"Awaken?" Ouyang Li asked, and I nodded, but I opened my eyes and looked for half of the face, but I didn't see half of the face. So I asked Ouyang Li in a hurry: "Will you catch half of the face halfway?"
Seeing what I remembered, Ouyang Li seemed to have ignored something, so he got up and helped me up.
"Let's go and have a look." Ouyang Li got up and took me to the west. He left the Antique Street and took me to a flat road, but there were no people on this road. There were lawns and trees around him, which seemed much empty. While walking, I asked Ouyang Li, where is this place and why half of the side took such a road.
Ouyang Li said to me: "There are different people, and the roads are different. Everyone is born with his different missions. Half-face mission is to walk on such a road."
I was confused by Ouyang Li's words, so I stopped asking more questions, but instead watched the gusts of cold wind blew around me.
But it is really strange that the wind blew in broad daylight.
The wind was a little cold, so I held Ouyang Li's hand and didn't want to let go. We started walking since dawn in the morning and walked until evening. The road had not ended. We just had breakfast yesterday, and today we had been walking for so long and hadn't eaten. We really couldn't walk anymore.
As I walked, I slowed down and planned to try not to let Ouyang Li see it, but he still found it. Just as I continued to walk, Ouyang Li went in front of me and squatted on the ground: "Ning'er, come up, I'll carry you."
"I'm not tired." Compared to Ouyang Li, I didn't eat anything, so why did I let him carry it on my back? Naturally, I was unwilling to go up and refused to speak.
"Ning'er, come up and we'll leave faster." I hesitated for a moment and lay down. What if Banmian goes late and something happens to Banmian?
Thinking of this, I lay on Ouyang Li's back, and Ouyang Li got up and carried me on my back. As expected, I walked faster. Although I felt a little embarrassed to lean on his back, I still asked him: "Don't you know how to fly?"
I mean why don't you take me over?
I didn't know that Ouyang Li laughed sneer when he heard me, and when I heard Ouyang Li laughing, he hid his face on his back. It must be that I said something unconscious again, so he laughed, and his next words indeed confirmed my thoughts.
"This road is the road to the West. Does Ning'er know where the West will go after death?" The West will go after death?
"Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?" I didn't know how I knew this place, but Ouyang Li asked me and I said it. Ouyang Li smiled and nodded, and then told me that this road was not fast.
Actually, I don’t know what the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is, but since Ouyang Li smiled, he laughed at me for being stupid. This place is obviously not an ordinary place, and if Ouyang Li could fly, he wouldn’t take me away. I could even ask such a brainless question. I think I am really stupid.
Ouyang Li stopped talking and walked on me for a while. As he walked, he saw a black shadow coming towards him. Ouyang Li put me on the ground and stood there motionless.
Banmian soon came to us and asked, "What happened?"
He knew that something was going to happen after hearing Banmen's meaning, so I said, "Yuwen Xiu captured Zong Wuze and Zhenzhen, and the rest of the Yin-Yang Firm were gone."
"Then why are you here?" Banmen asked me and paused. It was hard to say that we were trapped in the trap and were spared from the death.
I can admit this, how can Ouyang Li admit it?
I was going to think of a better way to answer, but Ouyang Li said by himself: "I was deceived by Yuwen Xiu!"
