I rely on tricks to cultivate my longevity

The coachman picked up the whip and was about to stand up, but his legs felt weak for a while, and he couldn't stabilize himself and sat back down.

He bowed to Bai Qing three times in humility and awe, then climbed out trembling, and continued driving.

The atmosphere in the carriage was a bit depressing for a while, except for the sound of horseshoes and wheels, and Xu Zhiyi's faint murmur, there was no other sound.

Lin Xixue stared blankly at the floor of the carriage.

What would I do if I had to deal with it?

Faced with a group of hungry and crazy refugees, what should we do if we can't listen to them, persuade them, or beat them away?
she does not know.

Bai Qing's approach seemed rude, but for a while, she couldn't think of any better solution.

As for choosing a few typical examples and killing chickens to warn monkeys, in fact, it is no different from Bai Qing's method.

She shook her head with a wry smile. It's come to this point. Instead of continuing to worry about the fate of others, she should care more about herself.

Right now, she still has a lot of questions to ask Bai Qing.

After a long silence, Lin Xixue leaned her head on the carriage, took a few deep breaths, and calmed down a little.

"That day in the cave"

She paused, she really wanted to know what happened in the cave that day, but now that she was about to face the real answer, she suddenly felt a little scared again.

Do you really want to ask?

If I don't ask, I can at least sway between several identities, and maybe I can also stubbornly and insist that I am Lin Xixue.

But if the answer is not what I expected, how should I face myself in the future?
But she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

"What happened in the cave that day?"

Bai Qing was obviously not in a good mood right now, she held her chin and looked a little sad, but when she heard Lin Xixue's question, she still insisted on mental recovery.

"You mean, what happened after you forced Hong Yanzi out?"

"Yes, after I pierced my heart with the jade sword, I fell into a hallucination not long after. I want to know what you saw at that time."

There was nothing unusual in Lin Xixue's tone, but her heart was beating unusually honestly, and her palms were dripping with cold sweat one after another.

Bai Qing bit her lower lip lightly, pressed her temples, and began to sort out the memories of that time.

"At that time, you asked me to borrow a sword, and then stabbed it into the heart, and then Hong Yanzi appeared, and I fought with him."

"Yes, I'm still awake here."

"Then your wound was bleeding profusely. It didn't take long for you to pass out, but soon you stood up again like a walking corpse. You called Hong Yanzi Grandpa."

"Did I lose too much blood and passed out?" From here on, it didn't match her memory.

In her memory, it should be her shadow blocking the wound here.

Bai Qing nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right, when Hong Yanzi heard you call her grandpa, she was very excited. She picked you up and ran away, and I chased you all the way."

"But the rock wall of the tunnel seemed to be alive, and actively blocked my way. I split the rocks all the way, which not only wasted spiritual power, but also delayed time. When I arrived, I saw Hong Yanzi helping you. Put your hair up."

Lin Xixue's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that this reality corresponds to the process after granting the talismans and robes in the illusion.

So at that time, Hong Yanzi tied the hair for me, but it was not a hallucination, or was it not completely a hallucination?
"After that, what else happened?"

"At that time, I found you in front of a huge stone statue. Besides Hong Yanzi, there were a total of 19 worm puppets beside him. Including Hong Yanzi himself, there were a total of [-] people. They should be chanting It’s a formula, but I can’t understand it because of the babble.”

"The eighteen worm puppets originally surrounded you, but when Hong Yanzi saw me chasing up, he sent the worm puppets to delay the time, and he himself presided over the ceremony."

"This worm puppet is not a threat to me, but at the moment my remaining spiritual power is less than [-]%."

"So I had to consider leaving enough spiritual power to kill Hong Yanzi. I didn't directly use thunder to kill the insect puppet, but chose to use as little spiritual power as possible to slowly figure it out."

"After I killed more than ten worm puppets, I found that Hong Yanzi was touching your head, and then I saw you nibbling on a black pancake with relish."

Black pie?Could it be the chocolate cake I ate in the illusion?
However, Bai Qing obviously didn't know what this black pancake was, otherwise she should have just mentioned the name.

She silently kept this thing in her heart, and continued to ask.

"Then?"

"I was fighting with Hong Yanzi. After you finished eating the pie, you suddenly stood up and started wandering around, as if you were looking for something."

"When Hong Yanzi saw you standing up, he was furious, his facial features twisted into a ball, and he kept asking me, 'Soul-fixing Gu, did you take away the soul-fixing Gu', words of unknown meaning. "

Hiss, the soul-fixing Gu that Hong Yanzi mentioned was obviously the worm that was taken out of his own liver.

It's just that Bai Qing still thinks that the bug is the larva of the corpse puppet, so she doesn't understand what Hong Yanzi said at that time.

"Later, when Hong Yanzi saw you standing up, he took out a yellow talisman in a panic, said the imperial order, and summoned ghost soldiers to try to push you back."

Lin Xixue nodded silently, this should correspond to the scene where the security guard tried to push me to the ground in the illusion.

It's just this ghost soldier?I don't know if it has anything to do with the blessings of the Town God's Temple?After all, the reward he promised himself at that time was also a ghost soldier talisman.

"But at this time, you suddenly pulled out an invisible sword that was emitting black air, and directly chopped up all the ghost soldiers to ashes. Hong Yanzi was also surprised by you." Bai Qing continued to tell.

"But you chopped up these things, you should have overdrawn too much. Nosebleeds kept gushing, and you fell down again."

"What happens after I fall?"

"After you fell down, Hong Yanzi put you back on the altar, and continued the ritual while holding me back with a new Youbing Talisman."

"Hong Yanzi's own strength is mediocre, but he is good at attrition warfare. This is not good for me. After all, my remaining spiritual power is less than [-]% at this time."

"At this moment, you suddenly woke up again and stabbed him with that invisible sword."

"As a result, you stabbed him. Instead of being angry with you, he was angry with me, saying that I was a liar and wanted to die with me."

"He turned upside down the world of the entire cave, and the cave completely collapsed."

"All the huge boulders were crashing down. I barely managed to split a few pieces, but I couldn't escape the dissipation of my spiritual power. I was knocked unconscious."

"The cave collapsed, so why didn't it kill me?" Lin Xixue asked puzzled.

"I don't know about that. I've already been knocked unconscious by the falling rock."

Lin Xixue recalled it carefully, and it seemed that there were indeed no gravels around her at that time, and the rocks that collapsed and fell were mainly concentrated outside the range of her foothold.

Could it be that Hong Yanzi deliberately manipulated the gravel to avoid himself, and I happened to be by his side, so I survived?

No, Hong Yanzi's move was obviously based on the idea of ​​perishing together. He didn't intend to live at all, so there was no need to create a safe zone for himself.

Could it be that Hong Yanzi deliberately manipulated the falling rocks to protect me?
When she was thinking, Bai Qing suddenly said with emotion: "I thought I would confess to the cave for the first time traveling down the mountain, but I didn't expect you to save me."

Lin Xixue gave her a white look, and his voice was a little yin and yang.

"It's not surprising that I will save you. I said earlier that I was not taken away, but it's a pity that you still don't believe me."

"But I didn't know at the time that when Hong Yanzi tied your hair in a bun and watched you eat the black pancake, anyone would believe that you were his granddaughter."

"To be honest, even now, I'm still not sure what your identity is. Things that go against common sense always happen to you."

"So to ensure everything is safe, I must bring you back to Lantau Island and hand it over to the teacher in the door."

Lin Xixue nodded lightly and said nothing more.

What Bai Qing said basically matched her experience in the illusion, and the credibility was not low.

She quickly compared her memory and Bai Qing's retelling of the scene in her mind, and came up with a bold hypothesis
