Chapter 169 Monsters
Chapter 169 Monsters
"Did anything happen at home when you came out?"
The car was parked in the garage outside the villa. From the time they came back to now, they could still smell the mixed smell of blood wafting in the air.
"Don't worry, it's very good. I asked Shang Jili to put a defense on the outside of the villa. He has been a celestial master for decades. If Chaos bugs come over, there is no way to break through the defense." Xu Yao said , Whispering a broken magic talisman uneasy and sending it out, he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw no response, "It's okay, come down!"
After the car was parked, several people returned to the business.As soon as he entered the door, he was shocked by the scene inside the door.
The lush vegetation in the garden was withered and showing a decadent trend. He squatted in the yard, holding a bunch of dead flowers in his hand, and stared blankly. It couldn't speak, but he could feel the sadness on it.
Chu Rui muttered to herself: "How could this happen?"
Hearing Chu Rui's voice, Qin's already weak body stood up vigorously, his mouth shrunk, he looked at Chu Rui with grievances, and then staggered towards Chu Rui.
"Sprout."
Chu Rui pulled herself into her arms distressedly, and Xu Yao subconsciously touched the little girl's snow-white skin. The finger just touched it lightly, and the touch felt like ice cubes. It only made people chill in the bottom of their hearts for a short moment.
"I belong to the sac genus, timid and warm-tempered, and my spirit lives on plants, but even so, it shouldn't have such a big impact." Xu Yao was a little surprised. They all said that his body was getting colder and colder. He didn't take it seriously, and now it seems that it's too cold to be worthwhile.
Qin Ji shed two tears in Chu Rui's arms, his eyes squinted with a line, neither willing to close nor have the strength to open them.
It looks miserable.Everyone felt this in their hearts.
Sympathetic but unable to feel it, Chu Rui gently stroked it, hoping it would be more comfortable.
"You also find it strange, so can you see why?" Chu Rui asked.
Xu Yao frowned in thought, but it was Dai Xianhuai who spoke first: "I have seen rich people put themselves on the table to eat, but it was useless."
Shang Zhongli: "Isn't my medicine taken orally?"
"No," Dai Xianhuai said, "it absorbs its aura, which can revive the dead, flesh and bones."
Chu Rui recalled what Shang Zhongli had said about her own efficacy at that time, and wriggled her lips in a daze: "Bringing back to life?"
"This should be the reason. It's not that the flowers, plants and trees in the yard are supplying me with spiritual energy. On the contrary, I've been with them for a long time, and the plants in the garden rely on me to absorb nutrients." Dai Xianhuai looked around the business. , "It seems that someone is secretly using it as food and sucking away its aura."
"What will happen?" Chu Rui asked anxiously.
Dai Xianhuai looked at him deeply, and then sighed: "I will die, I will turn into smoke and disappear between the heaven and the earth."
Chu Rui thought: "How about returning its aura?"
"There may be a chance, but I'm not sure."
As long as there is a chance of life!There was hope in Chu Rui's eyes, and the flames quickly faded away.
Now there is a lot of chicken feathers, and I have to be vigilant, I don’t know when I will enter the illusion, and I have to beware of the chaotic insects outside, but something happened to me again, and the piles are piled up, Chu Rui only feels heavy in her heart, Even breathing has become much more difficult.
"How do you know who took away your aura?" Shang Zhongli asked the key point.
Xu Yao: "It's very difficult. It will take a while to transform my aura. Unless that person shows his feet before that, there is no way to catch him, but one thing is certain, the other party must be a spirit body without a body. "
"Let's go in first." Chu Rui hugged her, and walked towards the house with heavy steps. She didn't know if she heard or understood the words of the people around her, her powerless eyelids drooped, Misty eyes flicked over the ball on the ground.
Among the withered flowers, the ball lay quietly.
Chu Rui noticed her gaze, and when she saw the ball, the light in her eyes darkened a bit.
Before, I always played football with Coty. It just can't talk, it doesn't mean it doesn't have feelings.
"Good boy." Chu Rui tightened her hands, "It'll be fine."
"You are finally back!" Bai Ling exclaimed in surprise from the door, "As soon as I heard the sound of the car, I knew it must be you who came back! It scared me to death, and suddenly things went wrong, and the school was closed. "Bai Ling's gaze stayed on Chu Rui, seeing everyone's serious expressions, he quickly restrained himself.
"The Daoism has spread all over the world, and everyone knows that Chaos Worms were born. Grandpa is talking to them inside to see if there is any solution." Bai Ling said as he walked.
Shang Zhongli: "Where is Li Yue?"
Bai Ling: "He's in the house. I haven't seen him come out. He must be practicing."
Shang Zhongli nodded, as long as there is no accident, no one in the family should have any accident.
Because of the Chaos Worm incident, the merchant's cooking aunt did not come. I don't know if it was because she was afraid to come or something happened. In short, the burden of cooking fell on Bai Ling. It was the first time for the little girl to cook. His cooking skills were not too bad, and he received a lot of compliments, especially Dai Xianhuai, despite his high self-esteem and coldness, he was very polite and friendly to girls.
After getting to the table, Shang Zhongli looked at the few people and asked, "Where is Li Yue?"
Bai Ling: "I called him just now, and he said he was eating in the room, he should still be practicing!"
Shang Zhongli nodded, and then shook his head adapting to the situation. He knew that the more Shang Li cultivated, the more he cultivated a madman, but he wouldn't go to the point where he forgot to eat and sleep. Could it be that the appearance of Chaos Worm stimulated him?
This is what Shang Zhongli couldn't say to make Bai Ling and Shang Li rely on him more. What he said in the past, but now he can't say no. In the current situation, everyone has to learn to protect themselves. Suddenly born Chaos bug attack.
"You can also practice kung fu for me later!"
Bai Ling curled his lips, said "Got it", and then turned his head to clean up the dishes. Shang Zhongli looked at her hesitantly, he was never a good-spoken person, and when he faced Chu Rui, he felt complacent. Xinsheng, but facing his family, he cares, but every time he thinks of the abandonment of his parents and the pressure of the clan, he can't express his concern.
The deep uneasiness in his heart has never disappeared since the appearance of the Chaos Worm. He has a premonition that this chaos may be difficult to stop for a long time.
Until then, he will definitely protect his family.Shang Zhongli swore secretly in his heart.
After Shang Zhongli left, Bai Ling was the only one left in the living room. When she cleaned up the dishes, she suddenly felt the tingling sensation on the back of her hand again, and couldn't help stretching out her hand to scratch it twice.The pain disappeared quickly, and the strange feeling was left behind by Bai Ling.
"I'm tired, go sit on the massage chair later."
The window was covered with a layer of veil, and it was difficult to see the scene outside. When I raised my head, I could vaguely see the rune light all over the sky. This was the spell they set at night to resist the approach of Chaos Worms.
The self in his arms was dying, and he had no doubt that he would lose his breath at any time.
There was someone approaching behind him, even Chu Rui knew who it was, with such light steps, who else could it be except Shang Zhongli!
"Are you feeling better?" Shang Zhongli asked.
After a long silence, Shang Zhongli pursed his lips involuntarily, and then said, "Do you have someone to suspect?" As smart as Chu Rui, he could think of it, and it's impossible for Chu Rui to miss it.
"Ah."
really.
Chu Rui's voice was cold and clear: "Xu Yao said that day, why does the Taoist family keep a self-protecting house?"
"A Rui!" Shang Zhongli interrupted him, "I'll ask him, okay?"
Chu Rui couldn't help laughing: "From the beginning, Mr. Shang rescued himself from the mountain, that's what he was thinking about!"
That's right, almost at the same time, Chu Rui and Shang Zhongli locked on the person who sucked their aura, that is, the living soul who had been following Mr. Shang, the legendary senior.
"He saved my life. He wants to take it away now. What right do we have to ask him?" Chu Rui said lightly. The more flat his tone was, the more uncomfortable Shang Zhongli felt. He never thought that would happen. That's right.
Before Shang Zhongli said anything, Chu Rui said again: "I also want to know, there is only one living soul left in the three souls and seven souls, how can he be resurrected?"
Chu Rui's words reminded Shang Zhongli: "It is true that the senior expert has been confused all the time. He suddenly appeared in our house. The origin is what grandpa said. Everyone in the Hongmen respects him very much, and no one I have doubted his origin, what you said is true, it is impossible to resurrect only a living soul, even if you have a body, you are just a living dead."
Chu Rui calmed down, and after a while, when he confirmed that the surroundings were so quiet that no one could exist, he turned to look at Shang Zhongli: "Do you believe me?"
Shang Zhongli was taken aback for a moment, without thinking or hesitating at all: "I believe, of course I believe in you, I have always believed in you!"
What he said was so sincere that Chu Rui didn't have time to be moved, but said solemnly: "Then let me tell you, the senior I saw had a blue light on his body."
"What!" Shang Zhongli shouted anxiously, "Impossible, what I saw was obviously a living soul, there is no living soul whose color is like dust and smoke, how could it be blue?"
Blue is distinct, it is the color of monsters.
At this moment, in addition to being shocked, Shang Zhongli also realized that although Chu Rui also has yin and yang eyes, it is different from their yin and yang eyes. There are hundreds or thousands of people, but no one has ever seen that senior is a blue soul body.
"Are you going to ask your grandpa now?" Chu Rui stared at him.
Shang Zhongli couldn't digest this for a while.
It's not a living soul, which means it's a monster. Grandpa told everyone that it was a senior expert, and all the stories about the other party were also dictated by grandpa. Grandpa would definitely not know that it was a monster, but he But he helped to conceal and deceive everyone up and down the Daomen Hongmen. In addition to himself, Shang Zhongli was covered in hairs.
Why did grandpa do this?
"Shang Zhongli, you once said that the senior chose you to enter the illusion, right? Otherwise, according to your age, it is impossible for you to enter the illusion, because you are too young and do not have enough experience. Going in is like looking for a dead end, have you ever thought about why that person chose you?"
Chu Rui's voice was like the roar echoing in the corridor, Shang Zhongli was so distracted that he even forgot to think, his hands and feet were chilling.The words were spit out almost word for word: "Then you... think. Yes. Why?"
He didn't dare to admit that his grandfather might want him to seek his own death.
"I don't know either," Chu Rui took a deep breath, "but I think there must be something hidden inside. It may be a huge secret that cannot be revealed!"
The air seemed to freeze, no one spoke, and the sound of breathing came and went.
Chu Rui was silent for a long while, and then said again: "Your grandfather has been staying in the west building and rarely sees him out. I guess there may be something hidden in the west building." Chu Rui didn't speak, he just looked at Shang Zhong silently. severe.
Shang Zhongli's face was ashen. Although there was no expression on his face, the twinkling pupils and the blue veins on his neck and forehead still exposed his tangled and complicated heart.
It is not others who are involved now, but Shang Zhongli's family members. Chu Rui does not want to kidnap Shang Zhongli morally and must help him. This is too cruel for Shang Zhongli. And stab it hard.
Abandoned by his parents, he was chosen but still carried everything, not because of anything else, but because of the responsibility of being a businessman. The word responsibility is like a mountain, which makes it difficult for him to breathe. Tell him now that everything may be Conspiracy, Chu Rui herself can't guarantee that she won't collapse.
Not wanting to force Shang Zhongli to make a decision, Chu Rui was about to speak, but Shang Zhongli said before him: "You want to go to the west building to check, right? I'll go with you!"
