Chapter 34
"It's not your fault." Fang Shao looked into Cangsu's eyes and spoke word by word.
Shen Su lowered his head and said nothing. She was a bad kid that everyone disliked, and without her, everyone would be fine.
"So do you want to help him?" Fang Shao had to change his perspective. "Help the person who wants to save you, the person who has always been by your side."
South River...
The girl clasped her hands together nervously, and after a while, she finally raised her head. Everyone in the Deep Sea Hotel looked at Fang Shao. On the nearby table, the small and exquisite traffic lights all lit up red.
Fang Shao noticed this warning, but still said in a deep voice, "Shan Su, I know the outside world is not good to you, you are in pain and lonely. But it is useless to escape. If you don't go back to help him now, he may die."
"I don't want him to die!" Shen Su's heart ached, and he blurted out, "He is a good man. He saved me, sang for me, and told me jokes."
The girl then began to complain to herself, "But, can I help him? I always cause trouble for everyone..."
At this time, Tu Su, who was standing by, had already seen the current situation clearly. He walked over and said in a deep voice, "The situation is urgent. We should save people first, and then talk about other things." He said to Shen Su, who was still a child, as softly as possible, "If we don't do it, naturally, it won't work. But if we do it, it may be successful."
Shen Su bit her lip and looked at the strangers in front of her one by one, who seemed to really care about her. "Can I really help?"
Fang Shao gave the girl an affirmative answer, "Of course. And at this time, only you can help him."
Tu Su nodded silently.
Peter, who was confused, followed the crowd and followed the rhythm of the others. "Of course you can."
There was finally a glimmer of light in Cangsu's eyes. Maybe she wasn't so useless and redundant after all.
At this moment, the anxious voice rang in her ears again. "Wake up~"
"I want to go back." The girl's voice was weak. But this almost inaudible voice seemed to echo like a golden bell. Nanhe, the sea otter, and Tangdouer, the stiff figures began to disintegrate like bubbles and then dissipated into the air, leaving only star-like points of light that merged into the girl's body.
The huge Deepsea outside the door began to disintegrate, and even the sea and the sky were like the colors on the foam, distorting and changing shape.
"I want to go back!" The voice became firmer and the image of the girl flashed.
Right now!
Fang Shao's mind moved, and several records flashed across the system screen. An empty backpack flew out from the public welfare corner, followed by several food packages. The cash register at the counter also opened automatically, and several yellow papers with talismans painted on them jumped out with a faint glow, and were automatically put into the backpack along with the food packages.
"Pah!" The heavy backpack fell into the girl's hands.
The girl disappeared in front of everyone with a surprised expression.
Outside the bar, everything was in ruins, even the colors had turned into nothingness.
"Ding ding dang dang~" The door closed automatically with the sound of wind chimes.
"Wake up!" On the sea, a man with a little ugly makeup still on his face was calling the unconscious girl opposite him with a hoarse voice.
The waves were swaying unsteadily, and the two people were floating on the sea with only a leaky duck life buoy. There was no sign of land or ships around them, and they were so lonely that they felt desperate.
Under the dual pressure of thirst and the scorching sun, the man's lips were cracked and his face was pale, but he still tried his best to wake up Cangsu. "Kid, wake up! Don't sleep! Someone will come to rescue us soon! Don't give up!"
Seeing that the girl hadn't responded for a long time, the man was anxious and worried. At this moment, he suddenly heard the girl murmur, "I want to go back."
"What did you say?" the man looked surprised.
"I want to go back!" The girl suddenly exerted force with her arms that were holding the lifebuoy, and her swollen eyes opened.
Antares, back to the real world.
"Wake up..." Before the man could finish his words, a bulging backpack suddenly appeared between the two of them, pressing on the already heavy lifebuoy.
The yellow duck sank, but the talisman activated by Fang Shao in the backpack immediately emitted circles of green and golden light, enveloping the lifebuoy and the two tired people.
The duck lifebuoy that had sunk down quickly inflated like magic. Its slender body and wings became strong and powerful, floating majestically on the sea, steadily supporting the sinking bodies of the man and the girl.
"I am dreaming!" The man's eyes were wide open, and with the exaggerated expression on his face, he really looked like a little clown.
"Nanhe..." Shensu looked at the man silently. His complexion had improved a lot, and his voice was not as weak as before.
The man didn't realize his change. He patted his face, "No, this is not a dream." He looked at the backpack in front of him and hurriedly unzipped it, "There is water and bread!"
He opened a bottle of mineral water, and just at that moment the waves surged, and a little water flowed out of the bottle, which made him swallow involuntarily. But he put the bottle mouth to Shensu's mouth, "Come, drink some water first."
Shen Su swallowed the water in small sips. The man urged her to drink two more sips, and then he drank half the bottle in one gulp.
After regaining his strength, the man's exaggerated voice resounded over the sea again. "You know, this is a miracle. When we return to land, someone will definitely come to interview us. This is big news..."
"Um."
"Hey, you smiled. That's the right way to smile. Children should smile more..."
"What on earth happened just now?" In the bar, Peter, who had been confused all the time, finally asked the question in his heart.
"All the people and things just now were transformed from the child's dream." Tu Su rarely said a few more words, "and her body should be in danger. If she indulges in dreams again, not only will she be in danger, but she will also implicate others."
Fang Shao nodded, agreeing with Tu Su's judgment. "Fortunately, she woke up in time, so this tragedy should be avoided."
"Is that so..." Peter touched his head, not quite understanding.
Fang Shao apologized to Tu Su, "Master Baili, thank you very much this time. If it weren't for your wine, the child might not have sobered up for a while."
"No matter how precious the wine is, it is just an external thing. It is Tu Su's fortune that it can save lives." Tu Su said sincerely. "And Boss Fang has also paid a lot. Those talismans Tu Su just sold were not cheap."
Tu Su was not a person who valued money. Moreover, he and his partners were searching for immortal ganoderma to make medicine overseas. Although the journey was difficult, they also saved a lot of precious things. This time when he came to the bar, the balance on his card was doubled, and he successfully exchanged it for a bottle of "Ancient Dream".
"Haha, we don't need to thank each other." Fang Shao smiled and poured a full glass of wine into a new wine glass and handed it to Tu Su. "It's a rare opportunity that you have time this time, and you are not in a hurry like the last few times. It's a good opportunity to taste this wine first."
Peter stretched his neck to look at the fragrant wine in the glass. But when Fang Shao glanced at him, he had no choice but to turn his head back. "If you don't want to drink it, then don't drink it."
Tu Su was also curious about why Fang Shao hinted at him to buy this bottle of wine, so he took the cup and drank it all in one gulp. As soon as the wine went down his throat, he felt as if his soul was suddenly pulled, and countless scenes flashed by quickly. Even though he had practiced for several years, he only caught a few fragments. Those were all the scenery and old friends he had seen before in his dreams.
Prince Changqin, Water Snake Qianyu, Yaoshan...
But there is another character that I have never seen before that comes to mind.
It was as if I was looking out from somewhere, and a boy with dull eyes was silently standing by my side.
horn……
As soon as he thought of this, his soul was shaken violently, and he felt as if he was placed under an ice spring, with bone-penetrating cold pouring down from the top of his head and spreading to his trunk and limbs. At the same time, all those images disappeared without a trace. He returned to reality, and felt that all the fatigue and worries along the way were dispelled, and the whole person was extremely relaxed and sober.
From Peter's perspective, Tu Su's expression suddenly froze, and then dark red mist emanated from him like a thin thread. This scene was somewhat similar to Stark's, but not exactly the same.
Tu Su came back to his senses, picked up the empty wine glass in his hand, looked around, and asked Fang Shao in confusion, "This wine..."
"This wine is made by an immortal from another world. It can remove evil spirits and awaken people's souls." Fang Shao said with a smile. "You are always with the fierce sword Fen Ji. Even if you practice the orthodox Xuanmen mental method, you are still inevitably affected by it. This wine can help you temporarily suppress Fen Ji's evil spirit and purify your soul." Although he was smiling, Fang Shao was a little disappointed. This wine can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
Another World...
Tu Su had already guessed, and hearing this sentence confirmed it. Boss Fang was indeed very powerful. He thanked Fang Shao with a bow, and then thought of the scenes just now. He hesitated for a moment whether he should ask this Boss Fang who seemed to know everything.
At this time, Fang Shao added: "And I heard that Master Ziyin was injured by the Nightmare some time ago, and he is still in seclusion to recover. This wine is just the right thing for him, and it should help him recover as soon as possible."
Tu Su was immediately delighted when he heard this, and then his expression became clear, and his gratitude to Fang Shao was overflowing with words. "Thank you, Boss Fang."
Fang Shao waved his hands, "I just exchanged money for goods. There's nothing to thank for." He turned the topic back to where Shen Su had interrupted him, "You said you remembered that Lei Yan was the murderer back then, so what happened next?"
Tu Su then told Fang Shao everything about his experience in the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum. Fang Shao heard that Lei Yan died suddenly, but Ouyang Shao Gong still agreed to make the medicine for resurrection as in the game plot, and he sighed slightly. The big boss had gone through thousands of years of suffering, and his obsession had turned him into a demon. He had long been determined and difficult to shake. He estimated that the words he asked Tu Su to convey were just a trick in the eyes of the other party.
Oh, I have a headache.
"Boss Fang, in your opinion, is this resurrection feasible?" Tu Su asked. He was usually calm and composed in front of others, but inwardly he was just a young man who had just reached adulthood. Fang Shao had seen him when he was a child and had helped him many times, so Tu Su regarded him as a trustworthy person. The matter of refining medicine involved his deceased mother, so he was inevitably uneasy and could not help but ask Fang Shao about his attitude.
Fang Shao pondered for a moment and replied, "Life and death are related to the laws of nature, and resurrection comes from human nature. Since you are mentally prepared to 'do your best and leave the rest to fate', it's okay to give it a try." He added, "But I have never heard of 'Xianzhi', and I don't know where Elder Danzhi got this prescription."
"This is probably an old recipe of Qingyutan. Mr. Ouyang just said that we can give it a try." Tu Su was stunned, his face slightly gloomy, and he couldn't help but lower the estimated chance of success in his heart.
Fang Shao said, "How about this, if you trust me, show it to me once the elixir is ready. Although I don't know much, I have a way to identify it." He pointed to the cash register next to him, and Tu Su immediately nodded in understanding.
"What do you mean by trustworthy or untrustworthy?" a careless voice came over.
Yin Qianshang stood at the door, shaking the wine pot, looking at the bottle in Fang Shao's hand with shining eyes. "Ah, this is the bottle of fairy wine worth a million dollars. I've been craving it for a long time. Can you let me taste it?"
