"It seems that we still have to use this thing," the white-bearded old man paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Gu Xu's blood is like a panacea, and it helped Xue Nu control her in one fell swoop.
"And it seems that because of that boy, the Snow Girl has unimaginable willpower, and she forcibly restrained her urge to continue to prey on human souls during the battle.
"I have to say that human nature is really a wonderful thing. We have been human beings for so many years, but we still did not expect that at this critical moment, human nature can actually explode with such a powerful force."
The storyteller kept silent, but he believed it deeply in his heart.
The development of things will always deviate from the script he wrote from time to time, and they will always need to make corrections by themselves from time to time.
There was only a "click" sound, and the hairpin in the white-bearded old man's hand broke into two pieces.
This hairpin was taken from Lu Shiyao’s body when she committed suicide by jumping off a cliff in Yishan many years ago.
Kong Xuansanren made it into the key to release her instinct.
On this June day with clear skies, Liangzhou City suddenly experienced a howling cold wind and heavy snowfall.
Gu Xu and Xue Nu hid in the crowd and walked side by side towards the west gate of Liangzhou.
As long as you leave this tall and majestic city gate, you can quickly leave the border of the Daqi Dynasty.
However, on the way, the snow girl suddenly reached out and gave him a gentle push on his shoulder.
Her movements were very gentle, but they were carried by the majestic and cold air, pushing Gu Xu hundreds of meters away.
Gu Xu's body hit the street vendor's cart hard, knocking the goods on the cart all over the floor, causing the vendor to curse and use vulgar words to describe his ancestor's eighteenth year. I greeted him again.
Gu Xu apologized repeatedly, took out the banknote and stuffed it into the hawker's hand, and then barely stopped the hawker from dragging him to the Yamen to report to the official.
At the same time, he frowned, somewhat confused as to why the snow girl suddenly attacked him.
Did he just say something wrong that made her feel unhappy?
But the next second, Gu Xu suddenly realized.
He saw that the vast expanse of blue sky was suddenly covered with clouds, and the originally warm air became bitingly cold. Accompanied by the howling wind, goose-feather-like snow fell from the sky without warning, dyeing the entire Liangzhou city a chilling silvery white.
He saw the Snow Maiden slowly rising into the air, her veil already torn to pieces by the cold wind, revealing her true face, full of flowers under the moonlight, and a woman jealous of her.
The pedestrians closest to her have been frozen into ice sculptures without distinction. Their souls have been extracted and absorbed by her, becoming her food.
This heavy snowfall in June caused panic among the people of Liangzhou.
They screamed, pushed, and fled in all directions.
But their escape speed is obviously not as fast as the snow girl's hunting speed.
As they ran, they were frozen into static ice sculptures. And the horrified expressions were frozen on their faces forever.
"It turns out that the Snow Girl pushed me away to save me." Seeing this scene, Gu Xu thought silently.
He was undoubtedly the person closest to Yuki-onna just now. If the snow girl didn't push him away in time when she lost control, he would be the first person to become a meal in her belly.
But the question is, why did the snow girl suddenly lose control again? Is it because he didn’t feed her in the cave?
Just when Gu Xu was puzzled, a voice Behind him, "Boy, do you want to reconsider the proposal I told you?"
This voice sounded very familiar.
Gu Xu turned his head and caught a glimpse of the hunchbacked old man who used to guard the warehouse of the Exorcism Department in Yishui County and liked to peek at story books during working hours.
The old man patted his shoulder and looked at him with a playful look and a smile.
It was like thunder resounding across the sky.
Gu Xu stood there, his thoughts dazed for a moment.
At this moment, he remembered many things that he had inadvertently overlooked during his escape. Many puzzling questions were answered at this moment.
"It turns out it's you, Kong Xuan Sanren," he took a deep breath, looked at the hunchbacked old man, and said seriously, "it turns out it's you who have been hiding behind my back to cause trouble."
The hunchbacked old man chuckled and was noncommittal.
"You were the one who caused my mask to be blown off by the wind near Jinyang City, right?" Gu Xu continued, "In Longzhou City, you manipulated that drunkard to blow me away. You are the one whose mask was knocked off, right?"
"As expected of my chosen successor," the hunchbacked old man nodded with satisfaction, "You can figure out the truth behind these things so quickly. It seems that you are really suitable for learning the art of cause and effect.
"However, you have also missed a key point." The robbery of the Qi court, and then the hasty choice to escape to Yishan and use the power of the snow girl to deal with the enemy are also in my script."
Gu Xu pursed his lips slightly and looked solemnly.
When he heard in Yishui County that Chen Jisheng and others were being sent to Qingzhou Prefecture and were about to be sentenced to death, he felt anxious. He changed his usual cautious style and did not make too many disguises. , without waiting for the cooling of the space channel to end, he drove the astrolabe and flew directly in the direction of Qingzhou Mansion.
On the way, although he was wearing a mask, he was intercepted by the flying boat of Princess Zhaoning and the Imperial Master of Daqi.
If he hadn’t boldly flown to Yishan and awakened the sleeping Snow Girl, he might have been arrested by the Qi court.
There are obviously many coincidences in this whole incident.
But if you consider that there is still something hidden behind itA Kongxuan Sanren who is proficient in the way of cause and effect, then everything can be explained.
"What is the purpose of writing this script and setting up this game?" Gu Xu pondered for a moment, glanced at the snow girl standing in the flying snow, and then looked back at the hunchbacked old man. In other words, Kong Xuan Sanren, "you want to sacrifice one hundred thousand souls with the hands of the Snow Maiden, so as to complete the ritual of being promoted to the Ghost King that you failed before."
"Smart," the hunchbacked old man said strangely. He smiled and said, "Last time it was because you, a brat, disrupted my formation and called in three strong saints, causing my promotion to fail.
"This time , I have to keep a close eye on you and never give you another chance to cause trouble."
While he was speaking, the snow-covered bluestone road in Liangzhou City suddenly became flooded. Dark red light. The light is like thick blood, flowing and spreading rapidly in all directions, outlining complex and strange patterns, covering roads, houses, walls, plants, and passers-by who have been turned into ice sculptures.
The entire Liangzhou City has already unknowingly turned into a promotion formation for Kongxuan Sanren. ,,
