Chapter 379

"What are you doing?" Gyatso looked a little confused. "This snake has its own formation rules and can shield itself. It's definitely an extremely rare and excellent spiritual creature. Even if you extract its undead and integrate it into a celestial device, you can easily make a superior celestial device. You don't even need to carve any lines to get the effect of the formation. If you carve more lines, the effect of the formation will be greatly enhanced!"

Naturally, Lord Zeng was experienced and knowledgeable. He had come into contact with celestial devices before he became a listener, let alone after he became a listener. Naturally, his knowledge increased.

"Lord Zeng, to tell you the truth, I know better than you what this thing is and how high its grade and use are. But this thing has been sucking people's essence and killing many locals over the years. Most of them were women and children. I've seen their tombstones with my own eyes."

Gyatso frowned and then nodded. The confusion and regret in his eyes slowly dissipated.

"In this case, this thing can't be used. The karma is too great."

Su Bai reached out and hooked his arm around Gyatso's shoulder. "My phone is out of battery and it was flooded just now. I don't know if you can use it. Let's go back to the hotel and see if we can order takeout or something. I'm a little hungry."

Su Bai believed that Gyatso could understand him. Although Gyatso was an eminent monk of the Esoteric Sect, he was different from the Esoteric Sect's unscrupulous style. Gyatso still had his own insistence. In layman's terms, his three outlooks were right.

Before Monk called Gyatso over to take care of the little fellow, he paid three months' rent in advance from the boss. Therefore, both Monk and Gyatso lived here with the little fellow during the one month Su Bai disappeared, hoping to wait for Su Bai to come back. Of course, the most important reason was that the little fellow stubbornly cried and refused to follow Monk back to Shanghai. He insisted on staying here to wait for his Papa. Besides, Ji Xiang was a very protective person, so Monk and Gyatso could not force him to take the child back. They could only continue to stay here.

When the door of the hotel was opened, the little fellow had fallen asleep on the bed. His adorable brows were slightly knitted as if he was worried about something. Su Bai knew that the little fellow was a spiritual child. Although he was not growing up and even had to hold on to the wall to walk, he was actually very intelligent and could understand some things.

In order not to disturb his son's rest, Su Bai bent down and gently kissed the little fellow's face.

To be honest, in that place, there were no cigarettes, alcohol or other entertainment facilities. It was not that Su Bai could not bear it, but what he could not bear the most was that he could not see the little fellow even though he was in the real world.

Between them, they had already formed a deep bond. From the moment the little fellow took the initiative to climb down the cliff and enter the demon's lair, Su Bai was destined not to give up on him.

Ji Xiang slowly approached Su Bai and sniffed Su Bai's body. Then, the cat's eyes revealed a trace of reminiscence. Yes, Ji Xiang's eyes had always been very rich. Maybe it had smelled the scent of the black cat on him.

More than twenty years ago, he and the black cat had actually guarded that place together.

Ji Xiang did not say anything else. It just silently jumped onto the windowsill, crawled down, and stared at Erhai Lake in front of it. Under the night sky, Erhai Lake could no longer show its beauty like it did in the day. Instead, it was so quiet that it was a little scary.

"There aren't many takeaways nearby. One is quite far away. I ordered first, but the delivery time is a little longer," Gyatso said.

"It's fine. I'll take a shower first. I haven't had a shower for a month. There's a river there, but the water is too dirty."

"I'll wait for you to shower and then we'll talk in detail when we have dinner," Gyatso said.

Su Bai nodded and walked into the bathroom with a towel. The hot water came slowly, but Su Bai stood under the spray from the beginning, letting the cold water wash over his body. At least the water here was clean.

After that, the hot water was delivered. It was a little hot, but Su Bai did not feel it.

Just like that, he stood under the spray for a full twenty minutes. Then he began to wash his body with shower gel and shampoo.

When he walked out with a towel to wipe his body, Gyatso just happened to go out. He said that the delivery man had arrived at the village pier but could not find an inn, so he went out to get the takeaway.

The little guy was still sleeping soundly, while Ji Xiang was still crawling on the windowsill.

Su Bai walked to Ji Xiang's side and reached out to touch Ji Xiang's body. One man and one cat had been together for so long. Ji Xiang now sometimes did not reject Su Bai's caress, although it did not like to treat itself as a pet.

"It's quite good." Su Bai looked around but did not find any cigarettes. Gyatso did not smoke, so naturally, there were no cigarettes in the room. At that moment, Su Bai picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Gyatso, telling him to go to the closed supermarket on the side street to get a few cartons of cigarettes and leave the money there.

Ji Xiang slowly turned its head and looked at Su Bai. The man and the cat looked at each other.

Su Bai did not know what Ji Xiang was thinking. This cat had a lot of secrets. It was really difficult to see through it. Why did it follow Su Yuhang out from that place?

It had followed so many people and witnessed the rise and death of many people. It had a lot of people's secrets, but it did not seem to care about these secrets at all.

In addition, if it was more critical, Su Bai could completely think about it. Since Ji Xiang also came out from that place, would it not have a way to go back? Then, when it knew that it was trapped in that place, why did it not come to save it?

Of course, Su Bai was not that low. He was not like Cao Cao, who would rather betray the world than have the world betray him. He would not think that way of thinking about Ji Xiang.

"Meow." Ji Xiang softly called out. In this quiet night, it brought out a kind of tranquility.

The night in Dali was relatively cold. The difference in temperature between day and night was also a little difficult for outsiders to adapt to at first.

Su Bai leaned on the windowsill and looked at the starry sky in the distance. The past month was a little like a dream, but Su Bai knew that he would definitely go there again. When that time came, it would be time for him to prove his Dao.

Lychee's tyranny, Liang Sen's casualness, Su Yuhang's confidence. When it was his turn, how should he define his tombstone? What should he bury?

After thinking about it, Su Bai felt that it was indeed a little silly for him to think about these things now. He had not even reached the level of Advanced Listener. Although his strength was constantly improving, and he was already among the best among the veterans, Su Bai had not yet found the feeling of breaking through to become a Advanced Listener. This would become a little awkward. Su Bai would become stronger, but he would still not be able to break through to the next level. It seemed that in the transition from a veteran to a Advanced Listener, a simple accumulation of quantity was very difficult to trigger a qualitative change. He remembered in the story world of the nuclear story, the guy who forcefully fused with his doppelganger to become a Advanced Listener. Su Bai did not approve of such a simple and crude method, because it was equivalent to turning himself into a bomb that could explode at any time.

The window on this side was facing Erhai Lake, and there were dim street lights on the side. Su Bai saw Gyatso walking back with two big bags in his hands. He stretched lazily and thought that he would have a cigarette later.

No matter what, although he had stayed there for a month, at least he was out now. Before this, Su Bai had actually mentally prepared himself to stay there for a few years.

Yao Zhe was dead. He died in the hands of the secret that his grandfather had left for him. More than ten years ago, his grandfather had tricked the people in the village, and now, the retribution had fallen on his grandson. Su Bai did not want to think about whether there was any karma in this, but at least the whole thing looked good. Yao Zhe's death was more like paying off his grandfather's debt.

Just as Su Bai was about to open the door for Gyatso in advance, he had only taken two steps when he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his chest. Su Bai immediately knelt on one knee and clutched his chest tightly with one hand.

This feeling was very familiar, and Su Bai knew what was coming.

It was a notification from the story world, right?

Looking at the time, it was indeed time.

The phone had been thrown on the small table by Su Bai before he took a shower. It was not charged, but the phone, which was out of battery and soaked in water, lit up on its own and automatically entered the WeChat interface.

The stabbing pain disappeared after ten seconds. Su Bai took a deep breath and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He reached out and took the phone.

This was a picture pushed by the public account. The title of the picture and the cover of the picture were of a beautiful woman. Behind the beautiful woman was a prince and a group of sisters. There was also a pair of crystal shoes that landed in front of the prince.

"Isn't this Cinderella?" Su Bai muttered to himself as he continued reading.

Story World Outline:

In the modern Cinderella story, the beautiful Cinderella married the prince, and the stepmother's two daughters married the two counts. Everyone lived together peacefully. The embryonic form of this story can be traced back to the first century AD. It is about Strabo's woman, Rhodopis. The two stories are very similar except for the crystal shoes and the pumpkin carriage.

The Grimm brothers turned the beautiful fable into a sinister crime. In this version, the stepmother's two daughters cut their feet to fit the shoes to trick the prince that they were the one he was looking for. Pigeons pecked out their eyes to warn the prince. In the latter half of their lives, the stepmother's daughters became blind beggars, while Cinderella spent her time in the palace.

In this story world, listeners, you will experience the true horror hidden in fairy tales! "

After reading the whole picture, Su Bai picked up the water beside him and took a sip.

"F * ck, did this broadcast update again?"
