Lin Xixue closed her eyes and completely calmed down. The sound of horse hoofbeats hit her ears, which actually made her calmer.
She made a bold assumption - she was not Hong Yanzi's granddaughter at all, but Hong Yanzi was trying to resurrect her granddaughter with my body through some means.
Originally, his plan was about to succeed, but by some mistake, he mistook the Soul-fixing Gu for the larvae of the Corpse Puppet Insect and took it out of his body.
Thinking about it this way, many questions seem to make sense.
This soul-fixing Gu may indeed have the effect of stabilizing the soul, but Hong Yanzi did not say whose soul it was used to stabilize.
There is a high probability that this soul-fixing Gu is not used to stabilize my soul, but to stabilize the soul of Tong Yingzi who resides in my body.
On the one hand, he disintegrated my will through hallucinations, and on the other hand, he stabilized Tong Yingzi's soul through this Soul Fixing Gu.
Under this ebb and flow, I would naturally fall into a state that was difficult for me to realize, and then I would completely fall and be overtaken by the Tong Yingzi.
However, I accidentally took out the bug, which prevented the soul of Tongyingzi in my body from being completely stabilized, causing me to fall into hallucinations and still have the energy to fight back.
In the end, because of my counterattack, Hong Yanzi was stabbed to death by me. The ceremony failed, but it was not a complete failure.
So Hong Yanzi tried to deceive me and let me plant the soul-fixing Gu in my body to completely complete the ritual.
And if I was really unstable and listened to his instigation... everything would really come to an irreversible end.
Hong Yanzi accepted me as her disciple and gave me her granddaughter’s name. She really had other plans!
Her eyes were a little moist, but she had her eyes closed at the moment. No one knew she was crying except herself.
Moreover, she herself didn't know whether the tears were due to the joy of surviving the disaster or the joy of knowing that she was Lin Xixue.
But in short, I did not believe Hong Yanzi. I survived and I am still alive.
Leaning against the wall of the carriage, she smiled for the first time in a long time.
However, while she was happy, she also understood that although this conjecture seemed self-consistent, there were still some extremely unreasonable aspects.
First, since Hong Yanzi wants to use my body to resurrect her granddaughter, why not do it immediately after dealing with Luo Si.
Why did he pretend to leave the cave and add trouble to his plan?
After he dealt with Luo Si, I haven't met Bai Qing yet, and it's even more impossible to take out the soul-fixing Gu in the body. Wouldn't it be foolproof if he did it now?
Could it be that he was waiting for some opportunity, and that he could only start the ceremony when certain conditions were met?
Secondly, if Hong Yanzi wanted to resurrect his granddaughter, there would have been countless slaves in the cave before, including many girls of similar age and body shape.
Why did he choose me as the container to resurrect his granddaughter?
Could it be that there is something special about my body?
But this is even more unexplainable. It has been several days since the predecessor was captured in this cave, so why Hong Yanzi didn't think of taking action.
But after I traveled through time and had a conflict with Luo Si, you wanted to accept me as your disciple and start implementing the plan?
Thirdly, whether it was Bai Qing's words or what he saw with his own eyes, Hong Yanzi was already dead.
But Bai Qing said that Hong Yanzi turned the world upside down before his death, and this must be the real reason why the waterfall in the cave flows backwards.
However, since he is dead, the spell that turned things upside down should have expired on its own. Why did the waterfall still fly upward when he took Bai Qing to escape?
Could it be said that Hong Yanzi is not dead at all?
If he was not dead, then what was the reason for my subsequent auditory hallucinations and my falling into deeper and deeper hallucinations?
At that time, Hong Yanzi appeared in the bronze mirror. Is it true or false?
It’s such a mess, not to mention that I couldn’t tell whether Hong Yanzi’s appearance in the bronze mirror was true or false. Now that Mr. Baili has not given the fourth injection, I can’t even be sure whether what I heard now is true or false. .
The trace of joy in her heart was quickly diluted by the irritability, and the surrounding scenes flickered again and again.
She covered her head and reached out to Bai Qing.
"Medicine...give me medicine, give me medicine quickly..."
"Xiaoxue, don't worry, the medicine is here!"
Bai Qing's and Ji Wanyun's voices seemed to be mixed together, and she couldn't tell who was who.
Bai Qing panicked and took out a plate of pills from the drawer of the Nordic minimalist bedside table. With the crisp sound of aluminum foil breaking, two pills were put into her mouth.
She didn't have time to wash it down with water, so she just raised her head and used her strength to swallow the pills.
Bai Qing picked up the mug, took out the drinking water from the wooden mortise-and-tenon faucet, and fed her water in small sips.
She started to feel sleepy again. She didn't know why, but she seemed to be particularly tired and sleepy recently.
Her brain was groggy, and she fell asleep again without realizing it.
Seeing her sleeping, Bai Qing laid her body down, took out a pillow and put it under her neck, then looked at the few pills left in the bottle, worry flashed in her eyes.
...
Both horses had luminous pearls tied on their foreheads, so although the official road was dark at night, it did not affect Bai Qing and his party's journey.
In the carriage, both Lin Xixue and Xu Zhiyi were asleep. Bai Qing did not need sleep, but turned her five hearts toward the sky and moved around the sky.
Halfway through, the coachman suddenly stopped the carriage, turned around, lifted a corner of the curtain, and whispered: "Master Bai Xian, I want to go for a while..."
"Well, go ahead, remember not to stay too far away, otherwise I won't be able to rescue you if something unexpected happens." Bai Qing replied with her eyes closed.
"Thank you, Immortal Master, for caring about me!" The coachman took the toilet chips and trotted all the way to the mound beside the road.
After all, along the way, the driver saw that the bark of the trees on both sides of the road had been stripped clean, not to mention the weeds. There was simply nowhere to hide but behind the mound.
After a moment of relief, he stood up and was about to return, when a rather soft and sweet voice came to his ears.
"Xiao Langjun~ Don't leave in a hurry~"
The coachman didn't know anything was strange, so he spread his legs and ran towards the carriage.
But a young woman took his arm, pressed her face against his ear, and breathed like a blue.
"Young Master, look at the moonlight. Why don't you and I..."
The driver was about to call for help, but after smelling the faint fragrance of orchids, he suddenly felt that his consciousness was drifting and he had forgotten to call for help.
Looking at the young woman in front of her, she felt her mouth was dry and her eyes were straight. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She hung her hands in the air and kept giggling.
Bai Qing got out of the car with an expressionless face, pulled out the Frost Mist Sword, and took action without any nonsense.
She jumped tens of feet in one step, and the frost mist slashed diagonally towards the young woman.
The woman was unable to dodge and was cut into two pieces from her chest.
But the next moment, the woman's torso that was broken into two parts was suddenly put back together, and the wound healed instantly, as if the sword had not hit her at all.
The young woman's canine teeth quickly extended and pushed out of her lips. A large amount of black hair grew on her chest, and huge flesh pads appeared on her palms. She lay on the ground and used all four limbs, and disappeared into the darkness in a few flashes.
Bai Qing stared at the direction she fled for a moment, retracted the Frost Mist Sword, picked up a gray-black frost-covered tail from the ground, and murmured: "Wolf girl..."
