Chapter 204: See Bamboo Patterns Again.
[69 Book Bar-www.] Chen Zhu was stunned when he heard this.
She is serious!
The eyelids were slightly drooped, covering up the hurt underneath them.
After half a minute, he finally adjusted his facial expression, "Okay, at worst, I won't touch it." After saying that, he curled his lips, then lowered his head to tidy up the clothes that were scratched and looked extremely messy.
The blue shirt on his back had been scratched due to his rapid retreat, revealing a thin, light red scar inside.
Feeling the pain in his back, Chen Zhu rubbed his back and gave Ni Jiuxie a resentful look.
Ni Jiuxie said nothing, gave him a cold look, carefully put the lotus seeds away, and said, "Lead the way."
At this time, Chen Zhu knew that Ni Jiuxie was really angry, so he no longer delayed looking for trouble, and quietly led the way.
You can't offend his parents for this matter!
He went ahead alone, Ni Jiuxie followed closely behind.
The night was dark at this time, and there was no light source except for a little bit of moonlight that allowed people to barely see the road ahead.
Ni Jiuxie followed Chen Zhu, staring at the back of the figure walking in front of him, and suddenly noticed that there was a faint blue light overflowing from the scratched blue shirt, vaguely outlining a vague outline, looming.
This is……
Ni Jiuxie's heart tightened. In order to prove her suspicion, she stepped forward and ruthlessly tore open the originally scraped fabric.
Chen Zhu immediately turned around in surprise, with a silly look on his face, as if he was startled by her wild behavior.
With a dark light floating in his eyes, Chen Zhu saw the person behind him staring at his back. He suddenly raised the corners of his lips in pleasure, but pretended to be confused and asked: "Is there something behind me?"
At this time, Ni Jiuxie had no intention of answering his words. He just stared at the blue light on his back.
There... it seems that a few bamboos have been painted with ice-blue ink. The color is light, like Hsinchu under the moon.
This bamboo pattern...she had seen it before.
It was seen on the back of a man also dressed in blue when he was being chased by Emperor Wu.
And... that man seems to use a bow, right?
Not only are the bamboo patterns on the backs of the two people exactly the same, but the location of the seals is also exactly the same. The only difference is that the new bamboo on the man's back only has an outline, while the blue bamboo on Chenzhu's back lacks the outline!
Only when the bamboos on the backs of the two are combined, is a true clear bamboo picture!
Ni Jiuxie's eyelids drooped slightly, and he took a careful look at Chen Zhu. He didn't look similar to the man in blue whom she defined as the Holy Mother. Even his personality could be said to be worlds apart, but inexplicably...
, Ni Jiuxie always felt that the two people had an unknown connection and were inescapably bound.
"Do you have a brother?" Ni Jiuxie raised his head and asked. Looking at Chen Zhu's appearance and temper, Ni Jiuxie would never think that he was worthy of being a brother.
"Brother?" Chen Zhu's clear eyes were filled with confusion, and he shook his head: "No."
"Oh." Ni Jiuxie replied lightly and remained silent. He also likes to wear blue clothes, and he also likes to use a bow... and he also has the same bamboo pattern on his back. If this is a coincidence, it would be too far-fetched, right?
Chen Zhu looked at Ni Jiuxie's indifferent expression and felt puzzled. However, since he had angered someone just now, he had no choice but to suppress his depression and doubts and lead the way alone. However, he carefully brought Ni Jiuxie with him.
I walked a few times in the bamboo forest and took three full days longer than the original trip.
Maybe... it's because I want to eat more meals, maybe... it's also a bit of reluctance in my heart, right?
"Here we are." Staying in an open field, surrounded by dense bamboo forests, and in the middle, a bamboo house was built with thin bamboo.
Chen Zhu stayed in the open space, reluctantly pointed to the bamboo house in front and said: "Bai is inside." If it had been before, he would have rushed in to find Bai at this time, but now he didn't want to take him with him.
Ni Jiuxie went in because it meant that he would be alone again except Bai.
"Go in." He grabbed Chen Zhu's blue clothes with five fingers, and Ni Jiuxie dragged him towards the bamboo house without even looking at him.
Chen Zhu looked reluctant, but at this point, he could only go into the bamboo house.
"Bai!" Chen Zhu shouted carelessly as soon as he entered the bamboo house.
"Ahem... Chen... Lord Chenzhu." A weak voice came from inside the room, but both of them had different hearing abilities than ordinary people, so they naturally heard the voice clearly.
Lord Chenzhu? This title made Ni Jiuxie feel a little more confident.
"Bai, what's wrong with you?" A trace of surprise flashed across Chen Zhu's face, and he led Ni Jiuxie to a small room inside the bamboo house. He saw an old man with white hair and beard lying on a bamboo couch in the room.
On the face, the eyes are not turbid at all but are like a pool of water, carrying the tranquility accumulated over the years.
At this time, his eyes were looking at Zhu with love and...respect(?).
But when he saw Ni Jiuxie, his pair of pool-like eyes showed ripples of surprise.
"Bai, she is someone I accidentally discovered in the bamboo forest. She is looking for a way out." Seeing Bai's eyes falling on Ni Jiuxie, Chen Zhu quickly explained.
"You...how did you get in? Ahem." Bai looked at Ni Jiuxie in surprise and asked anxiously.
He has set up a barrier here. People in the bamboo forest can't get out, and people from outside can't come in. Unless he dies, the barrier can't be lifted.
"I don't know." Ni Jiuxie shook his head.
Do you not know or don’t want to tell? Bai looked at Ni Jiuxie carefully and saw that he was not lying, so he asked again: "Ahem... you want to go out?"
"Yes." Ni Jiuxie answered without hesitation.
The old man closed his eyes and Bai was silent for a long time, then he smiled and said, "It's impossible to get out once you enter here."
When Chen Zhu heard this, he was secretly happy, but Ni Jiuxie suddenly frowned tightly and looked at Bai with sharp eyes.
Just when Ni Jiuxie was about to speak...
"Boom!" A loud noise suddenly came from the sky, and the whole ground shook three times.
Outside... there were sounds of birds and animals fleeing in panic.
Another...shock! Ni Jiuxie narrowed her eyes. She had felt this shock many times when she was in Tianxuan, but the shock was very subtle and not so strong.
And when she came to the bamboo forest, the subtle vibration disappeared. Unexpectedly, at this time... the vibration became even stronger.
A bit of inexplicable panic flashed in Bai's eyes, mixed with a little anger, and with a cry, he coughed out a little blood, and his life flowed away.
"Bai!" Chen Zhu's clear eyes flashed with ripples, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said slightly anxiously.
"Master Chenzhu... cough... do you want to go out?" Bai looked at Chenzhu quietly and indifferently, not worried at all about his rapidly losing vitality.
