Chapter 128 The Smiling Nightmare is Rampant
Xiaobai sat on the top of Lingyun Pavilion, drinking alone.
It is said that alcohol can make people drunk, but he just couldn't get drunk no matter what. When the liquor went into his stomach, he only felt a burning sensation and then there was no more feeling.
For so many years, he really wanted to get drunk.
……
"But..." Ah Jin continued, "It's not that there is no solution."
Hearing this, Long Qi raised his head, his face full of hope.
"any solution?!"
After hearing this, Xiaobai immediately looked at Ajin, as if he saw hope.
But Ajin frowned and spoke only after a long time.
"There are two ways. One is for you..." He looked at Xiaobai, "to kill Miss Lingxiang with your own hands. Then, when you enter the underworld, you won't be seduced by Abang Rakshasa."
Everyone was startled when they heard this, and Long Qi and Xiao Bai said in unison:
"What is this nonsense!"
The two looked at each other, and then Long Qi said to Xiao Bai fiercely: "If you dare to hurt her, I will make you doomed forever."
Xiaobai ignored him and turned to look at Ajin.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can I kill Lingxiang? What is the second method?"
"The second one..."
Ah Jin pondered for a long time, as if hesitating. Seeing this, Xiao Bai hurriedly urged him, "Say what you mean, and say what you mean. What are you talking about?"
Seeing Xiaobai like this, Ah Jin's eyes flashed: "The second is that you break free from the curse by yourself, but if you break free by yourself, what will happen to you? I don't think I need to say more."
When Xiaobai heard this, his eyes widened, and the spell that Lingxiang chanted was still ringing in his ears.
……
"You are now a spirit, you have made a pact with me, you must serve me and always protect me. If you disobey me, the Heavenly Thunder Art will be destroyed!"
……
Seeing the stunned expression on Xiaobai's face, everyone didn't understand what Ajin meant.
"What did the messenger of God mean?" Xinyi asked.
"I've said just now that he is a vengeful demon. If he dies, his soul will be scattered and turned into ashes," Ajin said as he walked down the stairs. "And if he breaks free from the spell on his own, he will be struck by the thunder. If he can survive it, it's fine. If he can't..." He left without finishing his words, leaving behind only the ringing of a bell.
……
A bell rang, and Xiaobai stopped the wine cup that was about to reach his mouth.
"I don't know how you, the so-called divine messenger in everyone's mouth, can go in and out of Yuanqing as if it were no one's home. Don't they care about it?"
There was another ringing sound, and a gust of wind blew, lifting a strand of hair on Xiaobai's forehead. Then Ajin sat down next to him, picked up the wine jug and started drinking.
"This is strong liquor, and it's not something Black Lizi can drink."
"Catfish can't drink, of course," Ah Jin took a big gulp, put down the wine pot and said, "but friends can."
Xiaobai smiled and drank all the wine in the cup.
"Why? Why don't you have to accompany your young master anymore?"
"He is safe and sound in Yuanqing and doesn't need my constant care. But you, drinking by yourself like this, how can you relieve your worries?" Ah Jin said as he looked at Xiaobai. His golden eyes were hard to ignore even in the dead of night.
Xiaobai picked up the wine pot, filled a cup, then raised the cup to the moon and sighed. "It's like the morning dew, the past days are full of suffering." Then he drank the wine in the cup again.
"I used to wander the world full of resentment, always thinking that since God has given me another chance to live, I will do whatever I want, whether it's revenge or evil, I will always be able to get away with it. But after meeting her, I realized that since I am still alive, I really shouldn't hold on to the past."
"She once told me," Xiaobai said, playing with the wine cup in his hand, "The old things are just like this, the past is all smoke, just like boiling tea overflowing the cup, there is nothing that cannot be let go. But now, I can't let go."
He said with a bitter smile: "I have been a demon for a long time, but I am not as beautiful as a girl. I really regret not listening to you. If I had listened, I would not have met her."
Upon hearing this, Ajin picked up the wine jug and took another sip.
"What is destined to happen will happen."
Yes, what is destined to happen will happen eventually, and what is not destined to happen will happen even if you force it. But his fate is only this once, and there will be no afterlife.
The two of them looked at the dark moon in the sky, drinking one cup after another without saying anything more. At this moment, Xiaobai suddenly sensed the method of summoning spirits with the incense, and he hesitated, not knowing whether to go or not.
Seeing this, Ah Jin advised, "Miss Lingxiang must have some plans. If she forms a bond with you, she must know everything and have her own plans. If you take this to heart, you might go against your original intention."
Xiaobai frowned when he heard that, then turned around and disappeared. Ajin also turned into a cat, and jumped off the roof with a sound of bells. Only a pot and a lamp were left on the roof.
……
Lingxiang was extremely surprised. What happened to Xiaobai? She had recited the summoning spell four times, but he didn't show up.
Just as she was about to recite the hand seals again, she heard his voice from the beam.
"Stop reciting, stop reciting. Don't recite these mantras like Master Xuanzang's spells. They give me a headache." He jumped down after saying this.
Lingxiang smiled and joked, "I was wondering why I couldn't summon him for half a day. It turns out he went out to drink that yellow soup. I was counting on you to help me, but now, instead of a helper, I summoned a drunkard."
Xiao Bai laughed when he heard this: "Don't tease me like this. Even if you pour a jar of the agar-agar dew from heaven into me, I won't get drunk." Then he sat in front of the Lingxiang window and said, "Tell me, why did you call me here?"
Lingxiang stared at Xiaobai motionlessly, as if trying to find out: "What's wrong with you?"
Xiaobai looked at Lingxiang's eyes when he heard that. Even in the dark night, those eyes were still clear and black and white. He was startled at first, and then quickly looked to the side.
"It was just meeting an old friend whom I hadn't seen for years and drinking a few cups together."
Seeing him like this, Lingxiang smiled and pulled his tail that was accidentally exposed - the tail was fluffy and soft, and she really liked it.
"You must have known something to be like this, but there is no need to be like this. I did not make a pact with you casually. I only said this to you because I consider you a friend."
"As for me, I have a residual spiritual root, and I will never be able to practice Taoism. But if I form a pact with you, I might be able to make a name for myself in the Fallen Demonic Path. You should stop having such wild thoughts."
Xiaobai didn't know what happened to him, and he exposed his fox tail. He felt an itch in his tail and wanted to pull it away, but Lingxiang held it tightly.
Seeing that he couldn't get away, he lowered his head and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know what will happen if you make a pact with me? That is..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lingxiang.
"Avici Hell," Lingxiang smiled sweetly, "Even if it's hell, so what? I can still run rampant in the human world. Even if it's hell, those little ghosts will definitely not be able to do anything to me."
"You are a demon, so what? I know what kind of person you are, that's enough. Why do you care what others think of you?"
Looking at Lingxiang's sparkling eyes, Xiaobai didn't know what to say for a moment, but his heart was surging. Seeing him like this, Lingxiang knew that he had listened to her, and reluctantly let go of him. Xiaobai quickly stood up and hid his tail.
"You...you...you called me here, what do you want to do?"
Lingxiang smiled slyly, with a gleam in her eyes.
"I want you to help me steal something..."
Already made up, feeling tired...
