I don't know if Ling Shang was too honest, but when she came to call me to take over her shift, the sky was already slightly bright and the night was almost over. I asked her why she was so late, and she said that she was very excited on this first night so she stayed up a little longer. I was so happy that there was someone who was so interested in staying up all night. Before she went to rest, she talked to me about a lot of news she had noticed tonight.
She said that Song Bailu basically stayed in the room in the first half of the night, mumbling something, talking and laughing. She said she also smelled the smell of the prison place, which was particularly strong in the room. The foxes have always had sensitive noses and can smell some smells that we can't normally smell. From what she said, I roughly understood some of it. She also mentioned some of the words that Bailu talked to herself at night, and from this she also had some arguments, which she told me.
"The old woman in Sister Bailu's body should have come from a so-called scientific expedition team that came here thirty years ago." Ling Shang said.
"Scientific expedition team? You actually know about the scientific expedition team. It seems that the thing attached to Bai Lu specifically mentioned this word, right?" I asked.
Ling Shang shook her head and said, "She didn't mention anything about it, but she called the Five Poisons Mountain the Miasma Mountain and this area the Safe Zone, which is exactly what the scientific expedition team said a hundred years ago. They were here for almost a year, just like you before, and moved around a few places before finally settling in the Ancient Castle District. But after that, they disappeared one by one without a trace."
"Gone without a trace? Disappeared for no reason? I remember wandering around a lot of places in the castle, and I hardly ever saw any bodies of the scientific expedition team members in modern clothes. But now you say that you heard the voice of the old woman in Bai Lu's body, and it seems that she may have attracted some evil spirit, so that no body is left. By the way, did you notice that there was a lame old woman in the scientific expedition team?" I asked.
"I didn't notice it. I guess he became lame after he disappeared without a trace. But I do remember one thing. They once passed by the direction of Xiying City and went to the vicinity of the prison. They said they were going there to do some excavation work. They all carried a lot of special equipment to find dragon bones and bring them back. Before that, the place was filled with negative energy and resentment, but there were no invading evil spirits. But after they went there, a pit was dug there, and the whole temple collapsed at once. The sound was so loud that it could be heard throughout the island. There was an earthquake for a long time. Since then, evil spirits have emerged and began to slaughter living things wantonly. After those people fled back to the castle area, they have never appeared again." Ling Shang said.
Thirty years ago there was nothing there but the gloomy wind. The current situation began to occur after that. It seems that the formation of those lizardmen and the so-called evil spirits now is related to the guy dug out from underground. It saw the light of day again, which caused the collapse of the sky and the earth, and the current sinister situation. If it weren't for the goat and those dragon-imprisoning trees, I'm afraid the evil spirits would have spread all over the island by now.
This made me think of something. Since the old woman's evil spirit is already staying in Bai Lu's body, I might as well ask her about some related situations of those evil spirits before thinking about driving her away. Maybe I can use her to get some reliable information, which will be no problem when I deal with the Day of Great Yin.
"Okay, I got it. You should make good use of your time to catch up on some sleep so you don't get too tired," I said.
Ling Shang nodded and went to sleep.
Since Lingshang has been guarding for me for so long, I thought there was no need to bother to wake Yunwen up. I would just guard her by myself for the next period of time. So I stood up and gave my seat to Lingshang, stood beside the bed, covered her with the quilt, and was about to leave when I saw her holding my hand. I turned my head and looked at her with some confusion.
She shyly hooked her finger at me.
I put my ear close to her, and she asked, "I also heard Bai Lu talking about your marriage consummation. She seemed to remember it clearly. I want to ask you, Zhou Lang, when will you consummate your marriage with me?"
Poof! My mouth spurted out!
What's going on? Such embarrassing words were asked directly. Even if I had a thicker skin than the Great Wall, I would not be able to stand this embarrassment. I scratched my neck and said, "Lingshang, should we wait until we get married before discussing this? Otherwise, wouldn't it seem like I'm being frivolous with you?"
"Then why don't you do the same to Sister Bailu?" Ling Shang asked.
At this point, I couldn't help but sigh and said, "The war situation was urgent at that time. The Lord of the Ghost Cave could destroy us at any time. I needed her help. She took that opportunity to threaten and force me to consummate the marriage with her. I had no choice but to do so. It was not my own will. Who knew that she would even make herself a fertility drug and use such a despicable method to avoid being driven away. Sigh... Actually, I really wanted to treat her well, but now, I am very disappointed in her, so I am more determined to drive her away."
"Everyone is afraid of death, Zhou Lang, there is no need to be angry about this," she advised.
I gently stroked her rosy face. I don't know if it was because of the firelight or if she was just like that. It seemed that after a night of vigil, she didn't look tired at all. She was still so charming. I couldn't help but kiss her on the lips and said with deep relief: "If she had a heart like yours, why would she make it so difficult for me?"
Unexpectedly, Ling Shang opened her eyes wide, looked at me with tears in her eyes, and said expectantly: "I am not very tolerant, just like Zhou Lang consummated his marriage with her, but did not treat me the same way, so I must feel aggrieved in my heart."
My face immediately flushed, and she laughed, as sweet as a silver bell, then bit her lip and said, "I look forward to it."
After saying that, she let go of my hand, shyly turned her face away from me and fell asleep. I smiled. This girl is not competitive and very well-mannered. She has never caused me any trouble. Since my misunderstandings about her have gradually disappeared, I feel that she is a good girl. She seems to be more human and decent than many others when she first became a human being.
She was also tired, so I let her rest and went to see Yunwen. She was sleeping very soundly. She was already exhausted yesterday. Now she is basically in charge of all the internal affairs of the city, no matter how big or small, she has to do everything herself. She should get more sleep. I smacked her rosy lips and wanted to kiss her, but I was afraid of disturbing her sleep, so I held back. After covering her with the quilt, I went to the dining table, sat on the dining chair, and listened to the noises from upstairs.
I fanned the charcoal fire in the brazier to make it warmer, and used it to heat the tea in the silver wine pot. After it was warm, I poured a cup and sipped it carefully. I felt a little more energetic. What I was thinking about at this moment was the fetus in Bai Lu's belly and what Ling Shang said tonight. It also reminded me of the original intention of Yunwen and I coming here, which was to build a temple and then get married here with the witnesses of heaven and earth.
It seems that we have to start preparing for the establishment of the ancestral temple, and we have to hurry up and give a name to all the girls, and also to the unborn children.
At this time, footsteps were heard upstairs, as if Bai Lu was walking. I put down the wine jug and went up a few steps to listen, but I heard her talking to herself again.
"It's not a solution for you to go on like this. I've thought it through, girl. Even though I'm pregnant now, Brother Zhou Bo will still drive me away if he thinks I'll cause harm to others. After all, I'm not Zhang Yunwen, and I'll never be as good as Zhang Yunwen, even though I have his flesh and blood... Sister, if you really want to help me, please leave me. After all, they think I'm dangerous because of you, and I don't need your help now, so go and reincarnate." Bai Lu said.
"No, no! Sister, are you starting to burn your bridges again? I won't leave. If I hadn't taught you how to use the robot that time, you and the dogs here would have died long ago. Now you say you don't need them anymore, isn't that like killing the donkey after it has done its work, and abandoning the dog after the rabbit has died?" Bai Lu retorted in a hideous and old voice.
"But, sister, this is a different time now. If you stay any longer, Brother Zhou Bo will kill both of us." Bai Lu said in a normal voice.
"Bah! If you ask me to leave again, I will kill the fetus in your belly." Bai Lu said ferociously again. Suddenly, there was a clanging sound above her. I hurried over and opened the door, only to see Bai Lu beating her belly with her own hands. I hurriedly grabbed her.
She made a pitiful expression and said, "Save me! Save me!"
"Why did you hit yourself in the stomach?" I yelled.
"It's her...Yingchun!" she shouted.
"Fuck Yingchun, that voice just now sounded old, she walked with an unsteady gait when she was controlling her body, her tone didn't sound like Yingchun at all, she didn't look like Yingchun at all, and you can't tell that this is a scam?" I also shouted.
