When Teng Bi died, Jiang Luo was sad, but the shock and distortion that he had not reacted to was more than anything else. It is only now, when he says the words "Teng Bi is dead", that he has a sense of reality that falls to the ground.
Lu Youyi clutched his sword in confusion, it was hard to describe how he felt at this moment, it was as if he was dreaming, his feet were not touching the ground, he was light and hollow, he couldn't even understand the meaning of Jiang Luo's words, after a long time he asked repeatedly, "Is he dead?"
Jiang Luo came up and gave him a hug.
There was silence for a few seconds before the crowd erupted. All sorts of questions, shock and anxious words were hurled at Jiang Luo, and Lu Youyi stood frozen in place, his whole being filled with bewilderment, leaving him unable to think properly.
How did Teng Bi die?
Lu Youyi hadn't beaten him up yet, hadn't found fault with him for betraying them.
Lu Youyi looks to the others.
Ye Xun and the others had shocked expressions and clearly could not believe that Teng Bi had just died. They had all lived together for a few months and all had a soft spot for Teng Bi in one way or another. Even though Teng Bi had done them wrong, he had not really hurt them in any sense. They were angry, but they didn't want anything to happen to Teng Bi.
Ge Wuchen's face was equally stunned.
No one could believe that Teng Bi was dead.
Lu Youyi's ears buzzed, and only after everyone had finished asking their questions and their expressions became sad did he find his voice and ask in a whisper, " Is Teng Bi really dead?"
Jiang Luo hugged him again and let out a deep "mmm" in Lu Youyi's ear, saying, "...... I'm sorry."
"How could he be dead?" Lu Youyi said in a panic, " Jiang Luo, did he lie to you? I won't beat him up anymore, okay? You can't joke around like that."
Jiang Luo patted him silently on the back, his attitude telling Lu Youyi the answer. Lu Youyi was breathing heavily and couldn't help but shout, "How did he die!"
He wrapped his arms around Jiang Luo and choked up, his tears smeared on Jiang Luo's shoulders as he stammered, "I'm angry, but I don't want him to die. Jiang Luo, I really, really don't want him to die, I don't want the knife, I forgive him, can he please not die?"
Lu Youyi clutched the big knife and cried as he began to break down, "It's all my fault, I should have told him earlier, I always treated him as my friend, dead ghosts have always been my friends, even if his name is Teng Bi he's still my friend! Don't tell me you're sorry, I don't need this sorry, oooh Jiang Luo, Chi You can become a ghost when he dies, can't Teng Bi also become a ghost when he dies?"
Chi You was keeping a close eye on Lu Youyi's hands holding Jiang Luo, and even though he looked annoyed, he wouldn't do anything to Lu Youyi for the sake of Teng Bi.
Jiang Luo originally did not want to tell Lu Youyi about his idea of "bringing Teng Bi back to life by using his contacts in the hell" because he could not guarantee that it would work, and if he said it in advance and it didn't work, he would only be happy. But Lu Youyi got so emotional and cried so hard that Jiang Luo changed his mind.
"I don't know if he turned into a ghost," Jiang Luo licked his lips, his mouth dry, "but maybe there's a way ...... there's a way to bring him back."
Lu Youyi jerked to a halt, he stared at Jiang Luo with a deadly stare, grabbing Jiang Luo's arm with force, his voice hoarse, " Jiang Luo, is it true what you said?!"
Jiang Luo said, "Yes, but I can't guarantee that I will get him back."
The look on Lu Youyi's face was slowly shifting, bewilderment, fear, hope, elation ...... all kinds of emotions were crushed on his face and finally turned into a determined look. Lu Youyi wiped his face, "No matter what method we have to try, I don't believe Teng Bi is really dead!"
Jiang Luo was relieved to see that he was half refreshed and he nodded, "First, we have to dig up Teng Bi's body."
Lu Youyi, after hearing this, grabbed his things and wanted to go up the mountain immediately. The others knew there was no time to lose, so they quickly grabbed their equipment and the group followed Jiang Luo in the direction of the longan.
Ge Wuchen accompanied Chi You and they did not go up the mountain. After watching Jiang Luo's group disappear into Dawu Mountain, Ge Wuchen asked, "Master, is Teng Bi really ......? "
Chi You nods slightly.
Ge Wuchen was silent for a moment, spinning his Buddhist beads twice before asking again, "What about Li Sha?"
Chi You gave a laugh instead, "She ran away."
Ge Wuchen was stunned, then the corner of his eye twitched, "Ran away?"
Chi You's mouth quirked up in interest, "Ran all the way north."
Ge Wuchen couldn't help but let out a "heh", bemused by Li Sha's unbelievably stupid decision.
"She's been under your thumb for months and it doesn't look like you've taught her anything," Chi You intoned with a slight lift, "doesn't she know I've moved on your spirits?"
Ge Wuchen smiled faintly, her mouth vicious, "Master, I did tell her to do your bidding and not to do anything irrelevant. Maybe fish have only a little brain and are naturally that stupid, and Li Sha is no exception."
Chi You said, "That makes sense."
Perhaps because Chi You rarely uses the Puppet Alchemy technique in front of Li Sha, he has forgotten how terrifying Chi You is. As a subordinate of Chi You, how dare he betray his master who can control them silently?
Ge Wuchen, whose souls had been tampered with by Chi You, could control them whenever Chi You wanted. Liao Si's body is weak and so is his ability. In order to join Chi You, he gave all of himself to Chi You as a sign of loyalty, his mind can be heard by Chi You at will, his body can be possessed by Chi You at any time, and everyone except him is more or less caught by Chi You. How did Li Sha escape so confidently and so violently?
She never used her little brain to think that Chi You could make her run?
Ge Wuchen had no idea what Li Sha was thinking, and he was a smart man who couldn't understand the stupidity of it. He went on to ask, "Will you let her come back for punishment?"
"There's no hurry," Chi You said slowly, "she's escaping, which is very much to my liking. Let her play outside for a month or two more, I still have use for her."
Ge Wuchen pondered, "Yes."
Chi You gave him a sideways glance, "You and your brother made up?"
Ge Wuchen sighed softly and avoided the question, "Sort of, I was expecting them to work with me to set you and Master Jiang up."
Chi You smiled, not caring about his small, harmless thoughts, "When we get back, you and Flower Beaver go and find me some place with a strong ghostly aura."
Ge Wuchen cautiously asks, "Master, how many is 'some'?"
Chi You rambled, "Go for as much as you can get."
Ge Wuchen nodded, feeling strange in his heart. It had been a long time since the master had specifically gone to a place with a strong ghostly aura to devour ghosts, and every time after devouring more or more powerful ghosts, the master would disappear for a period of time, and now was a crucial time to deal with the Fatal Man, why did the master suddenly think of going to the ghosts at this juncture?
But Ge Wuchen couldn't guess what was in Chi You's mind, so he just stopped.
On Dawu Mountain, Jiang Luo leads the way to the Dragon's Eye. But as he walked he realised that something was wrong. The marks he had left behind were gone, the grass and flowers looked the same as before, but on closer inspection they seemed different. When he followed his memory to the Dragon's Eye cave, the ancient tomb that should have been there had disappeared.
Wen Renlian, who had also been to the tomb once, drew a cold breath when they saw the forest with nothing in it, "Why is the tomb gone?"
Jiang Luo's face was grave, "That's what I was most worried about, the dragon's eye drifting and now changing position."
Lu Youyi said anxiously, "Then what do we do?"
Jiang Luo is still calm, "Look for other places, we have to find Teng Bi."
They scattered all over the place to look for longan, but kept finding it even when the sun was about to set. Wang Guiding took a look at the sky and took the initiative to come forward and said, "It's already very late today, and it's dangerous to look for something when there are wild animals on the black mountain, so why don't we go down the mountain first?"
The guide had a point and Lu Youyi followed Jiang Luo down the mountain in a state of despair. The next morning, at dawn, they went up the mountain to continue their search for the longan.
But after searching for two days in a row without finding the dragon's eye, there were not enough supplies at the bottom of the mountain, and everyone was exhausted. Do you have that much time to delay?"
He was right, Jiang Luo was afraid that something might change about Teng Bi's 'resurrection' and was in a hurry to get to Hei Wuchang. He rubbed his forehead and decided, "Let's go back and finish the rest before we come back for Teng Bi's body."
There was no objection from anyone. At noon that day, they finished their lunch and put out the fire, packed up their things and started their return journey.
After getting off the train, our guide got two cars, one for Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi and one for Chi You and Wei He.
Wei He was worried about the clan members locked up by Chi You, and he was going to follow him. And Ge Wuchen found a place nearby where the ghostly aura was strong and they needed to take a detour to another place first. But Jiang Luo had booked plane tickets and had to go with his companions to Bai Hua University to find Sai Liaoer, and through Sai Liaoer to Hei Wuchang.
We don't know when we'll see each other again, not to mention the fact that Chi You is in serious condition and that he was wounded for Jiang Luo, who is also worried about him.
When it was time to leave, Jiang Luo sat in the car for a few seconds, but couldn't resist opening the door and jumping out in style, running to the car behind and pulling the door open.
Chi You heard the sound and opened his eyes to look at him.
Jiang Luo locked eyes with him and fiercely reached out and pulled his collar over his shirt, his gorgeous features blossoming with brilliance, he looked at Chi You for a moment and then suddenly kissed him on the lips, "Recover well, I will come to you."
When he finished, he raised his eyebrows and his Danfeng eyes were full of fake smiles, with a dangerous warning hidden beneath them. Jiang Luo lowered his voice and said slowly, "Be careful all the way, and don't go looking for someone else for me, you hear?"
Chi You couldn't help but laugh, his voice lowered to a magnetic tone, "Maybe I found you before you came looking for me."
His expression was so calm and unhurried that the pleasure of being flattered turned to Jiang Luo's intentions in his eyes.
But he's not afraid of anything. Jiang Luo lets go of his hand and casually pats Chi You's wrinkled shirt on his shoulder, closes the door with a grin and a knowing glance through the window, and returns to his car in three quick steps.
Chi You watched his back as he got into the car and couldn't help but let out another laugh, all in a good mood.
