Chapter 166 Chapter 166 (Seventh update) Conclusion...
When Ji Ke handed a box of loose beads to Master He Guang, Jiang Mu Ning was driving and chasing Ji Kui to his private residence in the suburbs of Beijing.
In her previous life, she had walked the road from Jiang's or Ji's family to Ji Kui's private residence many times. In the most desperate moments, every bit of scenery outside the car window was engraved in her mind.
Even if she walked, she could find the way to Ji Kui's house.
Now the time has been advanced five years, and looking at the scenes along the way again, I suddenly feel a sense of strangeness.
This sense of strangeness and familiarity made her feel uneasy. Jiang Muning withdrew her gaze from the car window and could not help urging the driver to drive faster.
On the way there, Jiang Muning comforted himself.
Even if the battle with Wushang was brought forward, according to the plot of her previous life, she would have visited Ji Kui several times.
Ji Kui refused to see her the first three times. It was only on the fourth time that he let her come to the door, gave her a cup of tea, and then drove her away after she drank it.
It was not until the fifth time that Ji Kui began to listen to her prayers face to face.
She climbed up the mountain again and again, begging Ji Kui again and again, and finally one day, he agreed without any warning.
During her seventh visit to Ji Kui.
She didn't know what she said touched Ji Kui, but since he finally agreed, one point that cannot be ignored is that Ji Kui, like her, also cares about the life of Ji Ke, his nephew who is like a brother to him.
Otherwise, no matter how much she, an outsider, begged, Ji Kui would not agree.
More than an hour later, the familiar mountain scenery came into view. The car stopped halfway. There was only a road up the mountain, and her car could not go up unless Ji Kui opened the door to let the car pass.
When the guards at the door learned that she was Jiang Muning of the Jiang family, Ji Ke's fiancée, they were unwilling to inform her and asked her to contact Ji Kui herself.
Jiang Muning was very familiar with such situations. He did not let the driver continue communicating. He sat in the car and called Ji Kui twice.
No one answered the phone.
Jiang Muning couldn't remember whether it was like this when she first visited, but her impression was that she seemed to have never been able to get through to Ji Kui on the phone. If she hadn't insisted on visiting him several times, she and Ji Kui would not have had much conversation.
At this time, she calmly asked the driver to turn the car around, go down the mountain in the direction she pointed, and drive back to another road.
"Miss, what are you going to do..." The driver watched her get off the car and looked up at the green mountain that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Just wait for me here. Keep your phone open. I'll contact you in two hours at most." Jiang Muning looked down at the high heels on her feet.
She was in such a hurry when she caught up that she didn't have time to prepare her hiking shoes.
Although according to her previous life, she had to try several times to find the way up the mountain and climb to the door of Ji Kui's private residence by herself, she did not intend to waste the time now.
This time, many unexpected events happened, so she would meet Ji Kui as early as possible to persuade him to avoid any further complications.
As Jiang Mu Ning climbed up the mountain resolutely, the driver followed her closely, not daring to leave her side. "Miss, let's contact Mr. Kui first and ask him to drive the car up. There's no rush."
"It's urgent right now." Jiang Mu Ning replied.
This time, Bai Qingqing and Ji Kui had a personal relationship.
Although Ji Kui's personality meant that he would not get too close to anyone, judging from the fact that the two of them would exchange a few words each other every time, Bai Qingqing was already special enough in front of Ji Kui.
I heard they even had dinner together.
Before there was no system, she missed a lot of information, but as long as Bai Qingqing appeared, she would be more careful.
…
The afternoon sun was high in the sky, and the light was blinding.
Bai Qingqing was lying in a rocking chair with her eyes closed, basking in the sun. She sensed someone in front of her, so she opened her eyes and quickly squinted because of the strong light.
But he still recognized the man by the CEO's three-piece suit: "Bai Lincheng, you are wearing so many clothes in such a hot sun, aren't you hot?"
"It's already autumn."
"Yeah, autumn."
[Otherwise I can’t lie outside…]
Bai Qingqing rocked the chair and closed her eyes again. She felt extremely comfortable in the warm sunlight. She folded her hands peacefully on her belly and asked, "What can I do for you?"
Bai Lincheng sat down on the empty chair next to her: "I've seen you running around like a ghost recently. Are these things happening all over the country related to you?"
"What are you doing?"
Bai Lincheng always has this ability to ask questions with certainty about his guesses, as if he already knows the answer.
If the people below were not from the Special Investigation Bureau and Jingshi Xuanmen, and had no connection with Bai Lincheng at all, Bai Qingqing would have really been frightened by his tone.
At this time, he said in a light tone: "Why do you care about me? I am doing good things."
"You, do good deeds?" Bai Lincheng laughed.
"What do you mean?" Bai Qingqing opened her eyes, propped herself up in the rocking chair, and looked at Bai Lincheng with a frown.
Bai Lingcheng squinted slightly in the sunlight: "If you have any plans, I can help you."
The brother and sister faced each other.
There was a slight frown on both similar faces.
But one of them looked relaxed and calm, while the other one was obviously a little impatient and unhappy.
Bai Qingqing had been busy running around in the past half month. She heard that Jiang Muning and Ji Ke had returned to China, so she had the time to come back today to visit them and take a break. She hadn't really spent much time with the Bai family during this period.
Now facing Bai Lincheng, he suddenly came to understand what Ji Kui had said before.
——You are Li Qingqing.
——It’s always you from beginning to end, no one else.
Bai Qingqing closed her eyes and lay back irritably. She didn't understand why Bai Lincheng was her biological brother.
It feels so weird.
I feel like a weird person in this environment.
Seeing that Bai Qingqing didn't answer, Bai Yancheng said, "Jiang Muning and Ji Ke are back."
"Um."
"There was also a master named He Guang who went to the Ji family."
"……Um."
"I have some private contact with Ji Kui."
"..." Bai Qingqing opened her eyes.
Bai Lingcheng: "So I roughly know what you've been doing recently. If it's something dangerous, I'll help you, or we can do it together."
Bai Qingqing sat up straight again and noticed that Bai Lincheng's attitude had changed. It was different from the previous alliance he had made with her, and it also felt a little different from when he said he would help her before.
"Bai Qingqing, at this point, we can talk about some things. Only by communicating well can we maximize the benefits and minimize the damage."
After just two sentences, Bai Qingqing was completely sure that Bai Lincheng was different from before: "The problem is that you can't help me with this..."
[The purpose of the Bai family in this plot is bankruptcy. ]
[We have already suffered heavy losses from the fight with the Jiang family, what else can we do? 】
"Then at least tell us that we know what you are doing, so we can have peace of mind."
"You didn't tell me what you were doing or what you were planning." Bai Qingqing's face turned cold. She was not used to Bai Lincheng talking about such heartfelt topics.
"Speaking of this, let me remind you that you only need to attack the Jiang family, and do not touch the Ji family."
Bai Mincheng's brows twitched.
Bai Qingqing smiled, lay back down, and pointed her finger to the sky: "In this world, strong women are stronger than stronger men. If you bully the Jiang family, you can still get a piece of meat back. If you go against the Ji family, you will really go bankrupt. You should quit while you are ahead."
"My father and I don't have any plans for the time being." Bai Lincheng stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly: "There has to be someone to be the villain in this world, right?"
Bai Qingqing: “…”
She sat up again, and this time she looked at Bai Lincheng seriously.
Bai Lingcheng paused and advised her: "If you keep sitting up, you might as well stop lying down."
"...Don't worry about the abdominal muscle training. You should wipe the sweat off your head first." Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes and sorted out what Bai Lincheng had just said.
"You mean, Ao Xinyi and Bai, um... Mom and Dad know about it?"
"We know all about it."
The information that should have been aligned long ago happened without warning at this moment, on a random afternoon in mid-September.
Both parties understood the overall situation, and the topic finally returned to what Bai Qingqing was doing.
Bai Qingqing had nothing to hide: "I am also rehearsing a play, performing a scene, and leading to an ending."
"But there's really nothing you can do about this. Everything is almost ready. The Special Investigation Bureau and Xuanmen have already started to set up formations on the dragon veins in the past two days. In two or three days, my show will begin."
"If it works, everyone will be free. If it doesn't, we'll see you next time."
Bai Mincheng understood.
After nodding, he reached out and touched Bai Qingqing's head, then left immediately: "Thank you for your hard work. I wish you success."
The conversation seemed to end here. Bai Mincheng stood up and took off his suit jacket and put it on his arm when he left.
Bai Qingqing lay back in the rocking chair, looking at the man's full chest muscles that made the white shirt fold beautifully.
She suddenly said: [Bai Lincheng.]
Bai Lincheng paused.
Bai Qingqing smiled at him brightly: "Some of my previous compliments to you were... pure admiration. You should understand that, right?"
Bai Lingcheng looked at the person lying on the rocking chair and understood instantly. After a moment of silence, he coughed lightly and whispered, "I understand."
He left in a hurry as Bai Qingqing smiled again.
*
All the people in the Special Investigation Bureau were coordinated and led by Zi Wenbin. The three sects of the Xuanmen in Beijing gathered back to Beijing from all over the country, and were coordinated and commanded by Ji Kui.
Bai Qingqing kept in close contact with them every day, and held video conferences from time to time to see how the final formation of the evil Buddha, who was actually the way of heaven, was being prepared.
It was easy to learn from other people that Jiang Muning had been going to Ji Kui's private residence frequently recently.
Ji Kui always kept the door closed and never saw her once.
The reason was also learned from Ji Kui.
Jiang Muning’s engagement party was almost cancelled, and Master He Guang came to Beijing to tell Ji Ke that the fateful moment had arrived.
What is coming will eventually come.
Ji Ke was wearing a string of Buddhist beads, which he had worn since childhood. Bai Qingqing had just seen them.
The bead pressed down his precious destiny in the hope of pushing the destined day as far as possible so that Master He Guang would have time to find a way to change his destiny.
But the Buddhist beads suddenly broke without any warning a few days ago, and Ji Ke's fate could not be suppressed. It was God's will that he should fulfill his destiny.
Jiang Muning somehow learned that Ji Kui could replace Ji Ke, and visited him several times in the hope that Ji Kui would agree to exchange his life for another's.
Of course, Jiang Mu Ning's final purpose was something that Bai Qingqing added in her own mind, and others did not know about it.
Ji Kui remained absolutely silent on this matter.
Bai Qingqing was quite satisfied at first, thinking that Ji Kui really listened to her, but after she simulated the situation on the final day several times, she found that Ji Kui really had to agree to help Jiang Mu Ning.
The situation is a bit embarrassing.
To show respect, Bai Qingqing personally went to Ji Kui's private residence. Not seeing anyone in the living room, she poured herself a cup of tea to calm herself down.
Before she had time to call Ji Kui, he had already appeared at the stairs and looked down at her: "Here he comes."
Bai Qingqing silently turned her eyes away from his bathrobe: "This is only my second time here, don't make it sound like I come here all the time, okay?"
Ji Kui: "Wait a moment, I'll change my clothes."
"You don't need to change even if you have a lot of clothes on. I'll just say a few words." Bai Qingqing found it difficult to speak and touched the side of her neck.
Before, she was the one who told people not to agree no matter what, and now she was the one who wanted Ji Kui to step out.
"You may still have to agree to Jiang Mu Ning and lie to him." Bai Qingqing pointed upwards.
"But don't worry, I'll just stand on the mountain that day. I won't let you get into any real danger, nor will I let you replace Ji Ke."
"It's just... someone comes out to make a scene and be a foreground."
"Okay." Ji Kui nodded.
Bai Qingqing was stunned for a moment when she heard his crisp answer. She didn't expect him to agree so easily.
Ever since Ji Kui appeared in front of her, he has been trying to change his own destiny. He has been through so many times and has memories of every time. He must want to break away from this cycle more than she does.
She knew that Ji Kui valued his life, and most likely wanted to avoid risks and avoid what happened on that day.
But I didn't expect him to agree so immediately...
Bai Qingqing: "Thank you, I will really protect you. Even if I die, nothing will happen to you!"
"Okay, I believe you."
*
The day of preparation came suddenly, on an ordinary day, without any signs.
On Mount Longping, the six departments of the Special Investigation Bureau and the three sects of Xuanmen gathered together. Zan Fang and more than 200 disciples of the Yunji Sect also participated in the group, guarding the large formation point at the foot of the mountain.
Bai Qingqing and her group stood on the top of the mountain.
Ji Ke and Ji Kui both arrived. Ji Kui stood alone on the side. Jiang Muning's heart was beating fast. He held Ji Ke's hand tightly and said, "It's okay. Don't worry. We will be fine."
She looked at Ji Kui in the distance: "Thank you, uncle."
Ji Kui seemed not to hear it, and his calm eyes fell on the other side.
He couldn't remember how many times he had stood here and watched them make final preparations.
Hundreds of identical scenes overlapped, just like usual, with no difference.
After Bai Qingqing finished talking to Zi Wenbin and Zan Fang, he ran to Ji Kui with the thing in his hand, glanced at Ji Ke and Jiang Muning who were about ten steps away, and stretched out his hand to pull Ji Kui away.
The two men retreated more than thirty meters before they stopped and held out their hands to him: "Here, this is for you."
Ji Kui stretched out his hand, and a brocade bag was placed in his palm.
"Just stand here and don't move. This is the second layer outside the inner core. You won't be in danger unless you go to the innermost part."
"What is this?" Ji Kui squeezed the brocade bag and felt it was bulging inside, and the opening of the bag could hardly be pierced.
It's really packed with stuff...
"I'm worried that you'd be scared. This is the amulet. My parents asked the abbot for it at the temple. But I re-drew the amulet on it to give you an extra layer of protection."
Ji Kui smiled and accepted the sachet: "Thank you, Master Qingqing."
"It's me who's thanking you."
[This isn't the first time you've stood here... It must take a lot of courage to return to the place where you died before.]
Bai Qingqing's thoughts suddenly became sentimental. She blinked. She was unsure of herself and was afraid of showing weakness in front of Ji Kui. She quickly changed the subject and said, "Let's eat together after we're done. I'm sure I'll use up a lot of my spiritual energy. I need a big meal!"
Ji Kui smiled as he looked at Bai Qingqing's smiling face and agreed with her: "Okay, let's have a big meal."
Bai Qingqing saw Ji Kui smile, and inexplicably felt relieved. She smiled and changed her words: "One meal is not enough, eat three meals!"
Ji Kui continued to nod: "Yes, three meals."
Seeing the person in front of her so cooperative, Bai Qingqing lost interest in talking and stopped talking to him.
She stopped joking and held her bronze dagger in her hand. She exchanged glances with Zan Fang and Zi Wenbin in the distance, nodded, and prepared to start. She said to Ji Kui, "See you later."
Ji Kui, Ji Ke, Jiang Muning and their companions all retreated outside the center of the formation.
Bai Qingqing walked alone to the center of the formation, raised the bronze dagger, and cut open the mouth of the gourd with one stroke.
The black fog that swallowed the sky and the earth suddenly rushed out of her hands along with the echo of a chime. In the blink of an eye, it filled the entire huge mountain top and rushed straight into the blue sky in an instant!
A vertical black fog suddenly connected the sky and the earth, as if appearing out of thin air. Residents of the towns around Longping Mountain could easily see the huge black pillar rising from the horizon at a glance.
For a moment, they thought there was a fire on Longping Mountain, and they called on people around to come and see, and many people urgently dialed the fire alarm.
But before the call could be connected, a column of black fog was seen rising into the sky, penetrating into the clouds and spreading rapidly. In a short moment, under the gaze of millions of people, the clouds in the sky changed color and poured down into the night!
"Shit! The world has changed!"
"It's not a fire..."
"Longping Mountain used to be called Longping Mountain. I heard that there was a dragon guarding some evil creature there. Could it be that the evil creature has escaped?!"
There was a lot of discussion everywhere, and hundreds of thousands of videos were uploaded to the Internet in an instant, attracting the attention of the whole country.
But the black fog in the sky was still expanding, swallowing up the daylight bit by bit.
Bai Qingqing stood in the center of the formation and waited. The thick black fog enveloped her body, and she could not see her figure at all. The people guarding the various positions on the entire mountain were ready to go, waiting for the shape of the black fog in the sky to change, and then they would immediately activate the formation.
Zi Wenbin and the head of the Yunji Sect were both a little nervous.
Although this thing was released by Bai Qingqing and she said it could be used by her, if she couldn't get it back, it would be difficult to get this evil spirit back. They secretly made two preparations. When the crisis came, even if Bai Qingqing didn't send a signal, they would activate the formation.
Just when the two of them couldn't hold back any longer.
Bai Qingqing looked up at the sky, and suddenly her expression changed. She saw that the thick clouds covered by the black fog had dissipated, and white light seemed to flow in the sky as if it had life, faintly forming a vortex and pressing towards the ground.
The feeling of oppression instantly weighed heavily on Bai Qingqing's shoulders, and she felt an unprecedented weight as the plot was pushed forward.
The way of heaven finally moved.
Bai Qingqing slapped the magic spell that had been prepared in her hand towards the center of the earth. The disciples guarding the formations in the entire Longping Mountain immediately sensed it and activated their formations one after another!
"The way of heaven...the way of heaven!"
The black fog that had been spreading steadily just now seemed to have sensed something extraordinary, and it began to surge like a raging fire. As the great formation at the center of the earth was activated, it tightly wrapped around the Heavenly Qi that poured down from the sky, swallowing it up in big gulps!
