Que Xiu opened his eyes, and he was still at the same point where he woke up two times before. The two people came running towards him. Before they could say anything, Que Xiu quickly got up and shouted at the same time: "I accidentally crossed the line, so I won't bother you two. I'll go back by myself!" Then he rolled down the hillside into the flower field with ease.
"You know what's going on!" The two said a few harsh words and left angrily.
Qingran arrived as promised, and her pure eyes warmed his heart. Que Xiu didn't dare to act rashly this time. He finished his lines according to the script and then went home hand in hand with the beauty.
At night, he couldn't sleep at all. A series of weird events connected together, but he still had no clue. The same moonlight shone through the window lattice, and the shadows of the trees swayed. His thoughts were hazy, and he really hoped to wake up from this recurring nightmare as soon as possible.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of the window, and then there was a slight sound. Qingran next door was breathing evenly and did not wake up. Que Xiu gently got out of bed and went out. He saw a slender figure walking westward along the field ridge. Que Xiu already knew who it was, so he followed him from a distance, taking precautions.
When they reached the woods next to the flower field, the man stopped and turned around to confront him.
Under the moonlight, Que Xiu saw Ling Han's face clearly, his eyes were cold and his murderous intent was restrained.
"You killed me twice, what else do you want?"
"I want to reconcile with you and seek cooperation."
Que Xiu had experienced her cunning, so of course he wouldn't believe it. "You framed me, attacked me, and now you say you want to cooperate. Do you think I'm a fool?"
"I really want to cooperate this time, otherwise I would have taken action just now."
Que Xiu thought about it and asked: "First of all, we are strangers. Why do you want to kill me?"
"The evil Demon Soldier clan must be punished by everyone!" The beauty's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent again.
Que Xiu was surprised, "Are you also from the Demon Soldier clan?"
"I am the Sword Spirit!" Ling Han corrected word by word: "We are friendly to others, unlike you who are evil by nature and kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Que Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "Then why do you want to cooperate with a villain like me again?"
"Don't you think it's strange that you came back from the dead twice and repeated the same scene each time? We are trapped in a vicious circle of time, repeating the cycle, and we can never escape. If this continues, would it be strange if we don't go crazy?"
Que Xiu pretended to be nonchalant, "Since you noticed it, you break the cycle and I enjoy the benefits. Why not? But I have to be careful and don't let you kill me again. It will really hurt!"
Ling Han stamped his feet angrily, "Idiot, if I can break all this by myself, I won't come to you for cooperation."
"You can cooperate if you want. Then apologize to me first, otherwise there is no need to discuss anything else." He looked at the angry Ling Han proudly, "It's actually not bad to live a life like this with the gentle company of a beautiful woman every day."
Ling Han had no choice but to bow his hands to him and said, "I'm sorry for the offense I caused you!"
Que Xiu was satisfied and said, "You can teach me! Then tell me how you got here?"
"My master, Murong Qingtian, has great magical powers. He detected extraordinary movements here and brought me here to check. This barrier is very strange and no living thing can pass through it, so I volunteered to enter the barrier in the shape of a sword to investigate. . The young master used magic power to open the barrier channel, but when I entered, I collided head-on with an idiot and ended up here..."
Her eyes were disdainful, and Que Xiu thought to himself, if it weren't for you, I would be lying comfortably among the underworld flowers drinking tea, how would I still feel so wronged?
"My young master is an unparalleled hero, as majestic as a god. I shouldn't be associated with a young person like you, but the situation forces me to do so reluctantly. Young Master will understand."
When did Murong Qingtian accept a sword spirit? Seeing her eyes full of reverence and attachment, Que Xiu felt a trace of jealousy in his heart. He put away his joking expression and said seriously: "Okay, I agree to cooperate. Let's exchange information first."
"As far as I understand, this is a vortex of time that repeats in units of several days. No matter what happens, even if you die like you, everything will return to its original state when the next cycle begins."
"Then how do you think it was formed?"
"This is still unclear. It may be a formation, seal or barrier, or it may be caused by a powerful magic weapon. I think this must be man-made."
"Then why do we both have memories of the previous cycle, but others don't?"
Ling Han thought for a while and replied: "We must have broken into this field after it was formed. We are aliens, so we are different."
"Then what's the purpose of this?"
"Since it's man-made, is it just trying to keep some secret?"
Que Xiu thought for a moment, "I think this secret is most likely related to Mu Chen?"
"Why are you so sure?" Ling Han asked.
"To be honest, I have the ability to recognize souls. Although I am very weak here, I can still clearly distinguish that except for Mu Chen, everyone else is a different soul."
"Alien soul?" Ling Han repeated in surprise.
"I can only see the color of the soul at the moment. Mu Chen's is normal blue, while everyone else's souls are gray."
Ling Han was startled and blurted out: "Then what color is my soul?"
Que Xiu smiled and said: "Of course it is the normal blue color. It is precisely because we are of the same race and in the same group that I agreed to cooperate with you."
Ling Han spat disdainfully: "Who is of the same race as you? You are a demon soldier and I am a sword spirit!"
"Okay, you are the noble Miss Sword Spirit! So what should we do next?"
"Since Mu Chen is the key to the matter, we will find a way to gain his trust and make plans to escape."
"But with only a few days, it seems to be a difficult task to complete."
"So this cycle, we will let nature take its course and stay put while I try to collect as much useful information as possible. In the next cycle, we will start taking action."
Que Xiu nodded, "That's great. I can still enjoy the leisure time alone with the beauty. It's really pleasant to think about it!"
"Boring!" Ling Han spat. She suddenly took action, and a silver light flashed from her palm, directly hitting Que Xiu's chest. Que Xiu suffered two losses and became alert. He flew back and escaped the attack.
"What are you doing?" he shouted.
Ling Han smiled and said, "It turns out that you are a rookie demon soldier, and you don't even know how to localize a sword!" She raised her right hand, white light flowed from the palm of her hand, and a silver sword slowly stretched out.
"You can use your mind to control it from any part, just like a sword being gently pushed out of its sheath..."
Que Xiu still wanted to ask, but Ling Han gave him a charming look. She waved her palm lightly and slapped Que Xiu on the cheek, bringing with it a cool breath, "You are so stupid!"
Que Xiu stretched out his hand to grab it, and Ling Han's slender, boneless hand slipped from his palm.
"Don't be intoxicated in the land of gentleness, practice diligently, you will need it in the future..."
The beauty flew away like the wind and disappeared into the flower field...
The young man stood in a high pavilion, overlooking the lonely coastline. Loneliness and melancholy filled his heart.
Suddenly, the carved door was pushed open, and a pair of strange young men and women walked in. Mu Chen frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
The woman replied: "My name is Ling Han and his name is Que Xiu. We are good people."
Mu Chen said coldly: "It's a joke, you have to invite me in, and you still call yourself a good person?"
Que Xiu said: "It was Miss Qingran who saved me. We have no ill intentions and just want to help you, young master."
When Qingran was mentioned, Mu Chen's expression relaxed, and he played with the paperweight on the table casually, "You guys barged in rashly, how can you help me?"
Ling Han took a step forward and said, "Young Master, you are trapped in an endless cycle of nightmares without realizing it, and your father may be in danger."
"This is sensational. Do you think this young master is a three-year-old child?"
While they were talking, the housekeeper pushed the door open and was a little surprised when he saw the two of them, not knowing how to respond. Mu Chen asked: "What can I report?"
"The master has sent a letter, please read it!"
Mu Chen was overjoyed and took the letter. Ling Han said casually: "Your father's letter said that he traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, and the small buildings were beautiful in the mist and rain. He also said that he would be back at the end of the month."
Mu Chen glanced at the letter and was shocked, "How do you know the content of the letter?"
"This scene has happened many times. Of course I know the content of the letter. And I guess that your father did not go to Jiangnan at all. The person who sent the letter is a fake, just to stabilize you."
Mu Chen was stunned, and he ordered the butler: "Bring people immediately to catch up with the person who sent the message. If he resists, capture him and see me."
The housekeeper took the order and went out. Mu Chen was irritable and paced back and forth in the room. Que Xiu continued to persuade him: "Young Master, you must believe in us. We are trapped in this time cage, repeating what happened again and again, and we can never get rid of it. Think about it, how long has it been since you saw the autumn wind? It’s desolate and white snow is falling; it’s been a long time since I’ve seen flowers blooming and falling, and leaves withered; there’s no one here farming, fishing, hunting, weaving or tailoring, and there’s no market or trade, so where do you get food, drink and clothing from?”
Mu Chen frowned, unable to find an answer.
"Because someone prepared everything when creating this time vortex, and the cycle repeats itself without exhaustion. Everything about you seems calm and orderly, but it is actually a beautiful cage."
Ling Han helped: "Young Master, have you ever felt inexplicably lonely and lost for a moment, as if you were trapped in a cage, alone for many days or years. The spell can cycle time, but it will still linger in your subconscious. Leave traces in it.”
Her words hit the long-standing confusion in Muchen's heart. The young man's eyes were confused and dumbfounded.
At this time, the housekeeper and others escorted a young man in Tsing Yi in. The man had a vulgar expression and twinkling eyes. When he saw Mu Chen, he knelt down and said, "I'm just being sent to deliver a message. I don't mean any harm. Please let me go." !”
"Tell me, how did the letter get to you?"
"There is a ship arriving outside, bringing the master's letter. I am just being entrusted by someone."
"You're talking nonsense. Jishan Village is located high up and has a clear view. No ships from outside have ever arrived." The butler mercilessly exposed him and stepped forward to twist his arm while the man wailed.
Mu Chen's eyes were like daggers, "You are a gangster in the Black Mountain. Please tell the truth quickly, so as not to hurt your flesh and blood."
"It's unfair! I'm not a gangster!"
"The soles of your shoes are stained with black scorched earth. They clearly came from the mountains. How dare you quibble?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and his face gradually darkened...
