He looks like a gangster who is teasing women from good families.
I was still confused. I didn’t understand why Xiao Qi said Hu Xiaoyi wouldn’t come back, and I didn’t understand why they knew where Shan Shen and Shuo Bai were. But I still chose to believe them.
I twitched the corners of my lips and forced a smile.
But as soon as this smile appeared, Si Heng was disgusted.
"Hurry up and put it away. You're smiling like I owe you a lot of money." As he spoke, Si Heng grabbed my hand and pulled me hard into his arms. Then he leaned over and pulled me sideways. He picked her up and said, "As if I owe you, not only will I take you to Shuo Bai, but I will also act as your groom."
Si Heng hugged me and walked out of the room.
Xiao Qi followed behind, staring at Si Heng thoughtfully with a pair of big bright eyes, but didn't say a word.
Si Heng held me in the air and flew for more than half an hour. We finally landed on a lonely mountain near the sea.
At the end of the mountain top is a cliff, and below the cliff are the waves crashing and washing the mountain.
There is a huge boulder standing on the cliff. The boulder blocks the view of the person tied in front, but you can see the circles of green vines wrapped around the boulder.
The mountain god stood next to the boulder. He seemed very happy and was talking excitedly to Shuo Bai who was tied to the boulder.
In order not to alarm the mountain god, Si Heng hugged me and landed halfway up the mountain. Then the three of us walked through the woods and climbed to the top of the mountain.
Seeing Shuo Bai tied to the edge of the cliff, my heart suddenly shrank and I raised my feet to rush over. But before I could make a move, Si Heng grabbed me. At the same time, he raised his other hand and covered my mouth to prevent me from screaming.
I widened my eyes and looked at Si Heng.
Aren't you here to save Shuo Bai? Why stop me?
Si Heng shook his head at me and said nothing.
The three of us hid in the forest, crouched down, and tried to reduce our presence as much as possible so as not to be discovered by the mountain god.
Xiao Qi lay directly on the ground, staring into the distance motionless.
The distance was too far, so I couldn't hear what the mountain god was saying, but I could see his movements clearly.
He held a whip in his hand, and when he got excited, he would swing the whip hard and hit Shuo Bai on his body.
This scene made me feel extremely distressed.
I reached out to pry Si Heng's hand covering my mouth.
Si Heng seemed to have guessed what I wanted to do, and lowered his voice, "Little Tangning, be good. Since we are here, we will not let Shuo Bai die."
Shuo Bai will not die, so why not save him now?
What does it mean to watch the mountain god torture him?
I couldn't speak, so I kept winking, wishing that my eyes could make a sound.
Seeing me like this, Si Heng chuckled.
The silver moonlight was cut into pieces by the branches and leaves, and hit Si Heng's face. Si Heng smiled with a relaxed and evil smile, his black eyes shining brightly in the moonlight.
He looked at me, then gently pinched my face with his other hand, and said softly, "Shan Shen and Shuo Bai know a lot of things that we don't know, and their current conversation can answer our doubts back then.
Also, I only promised you that Shuo Bai would not die, and I didn’t promise that he would be safe and sound. It’s just a few whippings. The harder the mountain god hits me, the happier I will be. Little Tangning, listen, the sound of the whip hitting Shuo Bai is so sweet. "
The first half of the sentence made me understand him. And in the second half of his sentence, he succeeded in making me glare at him hard.
Seeing that I was angry, the smile on Si Heng's lips grew thicker, adding a bit of pride. As if making me angry was something he could be proud of.
Si Heng and Xiao Qi both want to find out the truth about the persecution of Chang Bai Qizi back then, and I can't ruin their plans. It's just that I'm here. If they want to eavesdrop on this kind of thing, can't they take me with them?
I stretched out my finger and poked Si Heng. After he looked at me, I quickly pointed at myself.
Si Heng raised his eyebrows, "You want to hear it too?"
I nodded quickly.
"Smile for me, and I will help you."
I,"……"
"Fifth brother, please stop teasing Sister Xiao Ning."
As he spoke, Xiao Qi put his hands on my ears, and a cool breath penetrated into my ears from his palms.
Then, he took his hand away, and like a deaf patient, I could hear sounds for the first time. The originally quiet surroundings suddenly became chaotic.
In addition to the sound of whips in the distance and the roar of mountain gods, I even heard the sound of insects crawling on tree trunks in the woods.
I was stunned.
Are all immortals' senses so sharp?
I heard a surprised sound, and a clear whip sound came again.
My heart shrank, I quickly gathered my thoughts and focused my attention on the mountain god and Shuo Bai in the distance.
I don’t know what they said before, but now I can hear the mountain god roaring.
"Impossible! Shuo Bai, don't try to lie to me with your sweet words! Back then, you clearly had a soul-locking coffin, but you were greedy for life and feared death. You hid in the coffin and refused to hand over the soul-locking coffin. That's why Master finally died! Shuo Bai! Bai, you killed Master twice!"
"Master is still alive."
Hearing Shuo Bai's voice, my tears instantly flowed down.
After going through a great battle, I used my soul as a guide to seal the demonic nature in my body. Shuo Bai was already weak, and after being tortured like this by the mountain god, he spoke weakly, and his voice floated in the air, as if he might faint at any time.
"Mountain God, if you find the priestess, you can find your master."
"Stop bringing trouble to others!"
The mountain god didn't believe Shuo Bai at all, and roared angrily, "Master and the Saint have always been at odds with each other. Even if she was lucky enough to survive, there is no way she would have anything to do with the Saint! Shuo Bai, don't think that I don't know what you think. .This is the routine you are used to using.
Just like when you used the Dragon Cultivation Technique to harm six of your brothers! They believed your words, but what was the result? Not only did they have no merit and become immortals, but their fate became more miserable than the last. Si Heng is protected by your mother and has extremely high talents, so he has the opportunity to ascend to immortality.
But you hurt him a second time! He believed you again, but lost his Dharmakaya, and now he is alive as a demon or a ghost! Your mouth is so good at lying to you, do you think I will believe you? "
"If you find the priestess, you will find the master, and you will naturally know that what I say is true." Shuo Bai calmed down for a while, and then said, "I don't care about the power of Conglong back then, you know. How much, you'd better keep it rotten in your stomach and don't talk about it again in the future. Otherwise, today for our seven brothers will be your tomorrow."
The mountain god was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "You lied to me instead of threatening me? Haha... Shuo Bai, you were the one who made the mistake back then. You were the one who took them to Fengling Mountain. You were the one who was arrogant." Arrogant, I feel like I can do anything in the world.
It is your pride and insistence on unsealing the Demon Cave that has brought so many disasters! You were the one who made the mistake, so why should you die while others are the ones who suffer! "
Speaking of being impatient, the mountain god raised his whip and whipped Shuo Bai hard again.
When he was tired from the beating, he panted and said, "Shuo Bai, I advised you back then that you can't control the affairs of the heaven. The Nine Divine Coffins are even more beyond your control. It's your overestimation of your capabilities that has harmed everyone!"
You later got the soul-locking coffin from the saint, but what's the use of it? What about the other divine coffins? If you don’t gather all the nine great coffins, you will never be able to save the people locked up in the Demon Cave..."
"Mountain God!" Shuo Bai interrupted the Mountain God coldly.
The mountain god was stunned for a moment. He also knew that he had talked too much. Some things had to be rotten in his heart and could not be spoken out. If he spoke out, it would be disaster.
He threw away the whip in his hand, and then said to Shuo Bai while forming seals, "Shuo Bai, I have said all that needs to be said. Now I will see you off for the last time."
