Yunnan Hotel.
Gu Ting lay motionless on the bed with his hands clasped together.
The conversation with the Ai Ci was still replaying in his mind.
"It's not that you don't believe in supernatural forces and gods. You just hate it."
"But now it's not up to you to believe it or not. Some things have come knocking on your door."
"Hasn't anything strange happened to you since you were young?"
Her words still echoed in his ears. The scene of his father's ferocious face and scarlet eyes repeatedly played in front of his eyes.
Gu Ting kept his eyes open until the wee hours of the morning.
However, the room gradually lit up with a red light.
Gu Ting sat up and looked around the room strangely,
But he couldn't find the light source.
He lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed to check,
But just as his feet touched the ground,
However, the ball of red light suddenly split into threads.
A dense net that covered the sky and covered the earth came down on Gu Ting, and in an instant, Gu Ting was tightly bound.
Gu Ting couldn't move,
He sat stiffly on the edge of the bed and opened his mouth,
But he suddenly realized that he couldn't even make a sound.
The threads wrapped tighter and tighter,
It was as if something was slowly draining from his body,
In his gradually chaotic consciousness,
The first thing that appeared in Gu Ting's mind was a face with a faint smile,
And a piece of lettuce on the rabbit ears on her head.
She said that her name was Ai Tuji.
He unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth,
At this moment, his body suddenly burst out with a dazzling light,
All the threads wrapped around his body were shattered at once.
The ball of red light suspended in the air was hit by this counterattack,
It instantly shrank into a small dot and trembled violently in the air for a while. When it recovered, it exploded again,
The light was even brighter than before,
As if it was completely enraged,
Suddenly, more threads were split out and waved even crazier in the air, as if a group of demons were dancing wildly.
As for Gu Ting, after the ball of light burst out from his body, his body clearly became even weaker. With a "bang", he fell onto the bed.
His limbs were so heavy that he couldn't lift them up. He watched helplessly as those arrogant and despotic demonic threads waved closer and closer, closer and closer —
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh —"
The sound of several wind blades cutting through the air suddenly rang out in the room.
The front ends of the threads were cut off by that thing, and they immediately retreated like the tide.
The red light gathered again and hovered in the air. Just as it was about to make a comeback, a white figure descended from the sky and appeared in the room. It raised its hand and squeezed —
Suddenly, the air seemed to condense and squeeze towards it. The red light twisted for a while, as if it realized that it was difficult to deal with the intruder, it instantly condensed into a small dot and squeezed out through the last gap that had not yet closed.
The Ai Ci retracted her hand and looked at Gu Ting, who was lying on the bed. She was about to chase after him, but she suddenly turned around and walked to the side of the bed. She bent down and pinched Gu Ting's wrist, transferring a stream of essence into his body.
It was beyond her expectations that Gu Ting could mobilize the power of the spirit crystal, but this attack had temporarily exhausted his physical strength.
She lowered her head, and her drooping hair gently brushed Gu Ting's cheek, causing a tingling sensation.
Gu Ting's heart skipped a beat. He forced himself to open his eyes and look at the serious expression on the Ai Ci's slightly pursed lips. Suddenly, he felt a warmth in his body, and the strength he had lost came back little by little.
When he recovered a little, he immediately asked, "Is this red light cast by the group of people you mentioned? Are they trying to steal my karmic luck? "
The Ai Ci nodded. "Yes. Do you know the Tang Li?"
"You mean the sweetheart of the Han Jing General?"
"No, his sweetheart is not the Tang Li. In the script, the history has been modified." The Ai Ci shook her head and said, "I'm talking about the real Tang Li. She also died in the hands of the people who stole her luck. I've seen many people with excellent luck, but you and the Tang Li are different from them."
So … you've also seen the Tang Li? And when Han Yulin saw the Ai Ci that day, she called her Sister Ai. Gu Ting keenly grasped this key point, but before he could think about it, he heard the Ai Ci say again.
"So I'm guessing that the Tang Li should be related to you in some way. Tang Li also has an older brother. Perhaps, you're her brother's descendant. "
Gu Ting's expression suddenly changed. He did not have time to think about whether the Ai Ci had seen the real Tang Li. He said in a deep voice, "My father's surname is indeed Tang."
…
For the first time, Gu Ting told others what happened that day.
At that time, he had just turned eighteen. He went to college very early and was already a graduate student this year.
Two days after the winter break, his mother went on a business trip. When he woke up early in the morning, his father, Tang Hao, handed him a glass of water and watched him drink it with a smile … When he woke up again, he was in that cave. In front of him was a platform with a strange totem and a floor full of blood …
The Ai Ci waited for him to finish and speculated, "So, he's planning to drain your blood to make pills."
"Then can the immortality that he spoke of really be achieved?" Gu Ting asked.
"No one has tried it before. Theoretically speaking, it should be possible."
Draining his blood to refine the spirit crystals on Gu Ting's body and Tang Hao's own spirit crystals, he might really be able to achieve immortality. However, the Ai Ci could not tell Gu Ting about the spirit crystals.
"Why does my blood have such an effect?" Gu Ting asked again.
"Have you heard of the Chosen One?" The Ai Ci lowered her voice and said mysteriously.
However, Gu Ting shook his head blankly. "No."
"What about the Chosen One?"
"No."
"…" Never mind. The Ai Ci did not keep him in suspense. She looked down at Gu Ting, who was sitting on the bed, and said with a hint of sympathy.
"In short, you're the unlucky child chosen by fate."
Gu Ting: "…"
The Ai Ci saw that he had almost recovered and said, "They've retreated for the time being. They shouldn't come back for a while. I'll have to go to the capital again tomorrow. Be careful."
She thought for a while and said, "Their tentacles have already reached your grandpa's side. It seems that they want to use two methods at the same time. One is to slowly cast a curse, and the other is to directly take it. Taking it by force is easy, but slowly casting a curse is impossible to guard against. Now, we can only find the mastermind as soon as possible. "
…
The next day.
The Gu family mansion in the capital.
The Ai Ci and Old Master Gu sat facing each other in the hall. "Old Master Gu, I've already found the cause of your dream."
She said, "Someone placed a tortoise shell engraved with a luck stealing charm in the Jiang family next door. Ling Sun's luck is special, and that charm was specially designed to target him. Perhaps it's because you're connected by blood and live next to the tortoise shell every day, so you had a dream. As long as you can get the Jiang family to hand over the tortoise shell to me, the dream will disappear. "
"It's easy to get Old Man Jiang to take out the tortoise shell." Old Master Gu looked at the Ai Ci with a worried expression. "But you said that someone wants to steal Little Ting's luck? Even if the dream can be resolved, how will Little Ting's crisis be resolved? How will we find the mastermind behind this? "
The Ai Ci said, "The other party's methods are very secretive. We can't find them for the time being. We can only wait for them to strike again."
"Then, does Master need to stay by Little Ting's side and protect him?" Old Master Gu sighed. "That's a little difficult. Little Ting doesn't believe in gods and ghosts … but if Master needs it, I'll think of a way to arrange a name for you to get close to him."
"No need." The Ai Ci said meaningfully. "He believes in gods and ghosts now."
"Huh?" Old Master Gu was a little confused. Just as he was about to ask, Old Master Jiang came over again.
"Xiao Ai, I knew you would be here today. How are the preparations for tonight's evaluation meeting going?" He asked with a smile.
The Ai Ci said, "Don't worry, everything is ready."
Old Master Jiang asked Old Master Gu enthusiastically, "Old Master Gu, do you want to come with us tonight?"
Old Master Gu waved his hand. "I'm not in good spirits these days, so I won't be going."
Old Master Gu and the Ai Ci were almost done talking about the matter. When he saw Old Man Jiang's eager little eyes, he said, "Go and prepare if you have something to do. I'm going upstairs to rest for a while."
…
At this moment, in another villa on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.
Lin Aojiao was slumped on the sofa in the living room and playing with her phone. She was an internet-addicted girl who had just entered her second year of university this year. When she had nothing to do, she liked to surf the Internet.
Recently, the matter of the female amateur in "The Amazing Departure" had caused a lot of commotion, so she had paid more attention to it.
— — She is quite good-looking, but can't she just be a vase? Why does she have to create the image of a top student?
Lin Aojiao was not one of those fans who would accept all the words of Gu Ting and Tian Qi. She just felt that this woman was too fake.
Thus, Lin Aojiao posted a few negative comments on the Ai Ci's Weibo.
Qing Cheng: How can you believe such a fake image? Brains are a good thing.
Qing Cheng: From the face to the image, none of it looks real. [Sober up.jpg]
However, the fan traffic brought by the Gu Ting effect was too large, and her comments were immediately drowned out.
Lin Aojiao was about to post two more comments when she heard the sound of footsteps and the sound of a crutch hitting the ground from afar.
Her grandfather slowly walked to the sofa with the crutch and tapped her leg with the crutch. "Aojiao, you don't know how to sit properly. What do you look like? Don't play with your phone all day. Tonight, accompany grandpa to attend an antique appraisal meeting. "
"I'm not going. It's too boring."
"Today's appraisal meeting is different from the past. The other old guys said that they will bring their own juniors. If you don't go, grandpa will lose face."
"I'm not going." Lin Aojiao said firmly. Hanging out with a group of old people looking at a pile of dead objects, it was obvious how boring it was.
Seeing that Lin Aojiao was unmoved, Grandpa Lin's face became stern. He took out something from his chest pocket and slammed it on the table.
"If you come with me, you can use this card as much as you want!"
— — It was a black card, which meant that there was no limit to buy, buy, buy.
