It's this guy!
I was excited at first, but then many questions popped up. How did this guy escape from Fire God Temple?
How did you find me? "
Before I could ask, the fatty chuckled and walked over, hugging me.
Looking at his actions, my eyes turned red. This fellow had entered such a terrifying place like Fire God Temple. Who knew how much terror and despair he had experienced in the past year before he finally managed to walk out of it in one piece.
Just as I was feeling emotional, the fatty let go of me after hugging me lightly. Then, he chuckled and said to me, "You're living quite comfortably, staying in a five-star hotel all year round. I tried it just now, the bed is so soft … Tsk tsk, you really know how to enjoy yourself. Compared to your room, the small room I used to live in in my sect is like a pig's nest."
Hearing him exclaim, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This guy had escaped from death, but his heartless personality hadn't changed at all.
Just as I was about to speak, he pulled me back and said with shifty eyes, "Also, you actually know Ye Pianpian!
Why didn't you tell me before? "
What?
Ye Pianpian?
How does he know about this?
Before I could react, the fatty dodged to the side. I looked up and saw Ye Pianpian, who was wearing a black dress, standing not far behind him. She frowned and looked at me with a concerned gaze.
I didn't know why, but I felt a little awkward. It was probably because Ye Pianpian had taken care of me for over a month. That was the worst period of my life, and I couldn't get out of it. Now that I thought about it, I didn't feel too sad. I just felt awkward, especially when I saw Ye Pianpian again.
However, compared to the awkwardness, I was more confused. Why did the fatty and Ye Pianpian come to my place at the same time?
From the fatty's tone, he seemed to be old friends with Ye Pianpian?
After we walked in and sat down, the fatty told me what had happened during the year we were apart.
A year's time was enough for a lot of things to happen, but Fatty only said a few words. It was not because he was a man of few words, but because a year's time was only a few days to him.
According to him, when Boss Liu detonated the hundreds of kilograms of explosives in the Fire God Temple, the fatty fainted. When he woke up, he was already outside the Fire God Temple. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ye Pianpian and the people from the Metaphysics Association. He and Ye Pianpian knew each other. At that time, Ye Pianpian was about to return. After asking about the situation, she left Shennongjia with him and came all the way to Shenzhen to find me.
After hearing that, I couldn't help but open my mouth wide. In this one year, the fatty actually just slept in the Fire God Temple and came back directly?
No wonder this fellow didn't feel the slightest bit of emotion when he saw me. I thought he was just being simple-minded, but now it seems that I misunderstood him. If I were in his shoes, I definitely wouldn't feel the slightest bit of emotion … Who in their right mind would feel emotional after a nap?
We stared at each other for a long time. Then, I asked him how he knew Ye Pianpian. The fatty said that his teacher, Master Guan, worked in the Taoist Association and was old friends with Grandpa Li. He knew Ye Pianpian a long time ago.
After listening to him, I felt a little emotional. I had known Ye Pianpian for a long time, but I didn't know that they had such a relationship.
After some small talk, I couldn't help but be curious. I turned to ask Ye Pianpian, "What did they find in the Fire God Temple?"
The strange words that the silver-eyed stone statue told me in the Fire God Temple had been bothering me. Although I didn't know the reason, I always felt that the stone statue had something to do with me. That was why I was especially concerned about the secret of the Fire God Temple.
However, after asking, Ye Pianpian shook her head at me and said, "We did open the Fire God Temple according to your method, but after we studied it for a few months, Grandpa asked me to come back first and only brought a few people in the Heavenly Master realm … When I was about to come back, Lin Hu suddenly came out of the Fire God Temple. After Grandpa and the others asked me about the situation, they asked me to bring him back … Originally, I wanted to bring him back to Kaifeng, but he insisted on coming to find you. I had no choice but to bring him here."
After listening to her words, I felt discouraged. The Fire God Temple was still an unknown mystery. It seemed that I could only wait for Grandpa Li to come out and find a chance to ask him.
After talking about the current situation for a while, the fatty heard that I was about to leave Shenzhen and invited me to stay with him in Kaifeng for a while.
My original plan was to find a place to meditate and cultivate after leaving Shenzhen. After my pressure point realm was completed, I would think of a way to contact Ye Pianpian and see if I could get enough obsidian stones for me to break through to the Glorious Knowledge realm.
Since the fatty's suggestion was perfect, I agreed after thinking for a while.
It was already late at night. I contacted the front desk and booked a room next door for Ye Pianpian. The fatty squeezed in with me to sleep.
After Ye Pianpian left, the fatty walked over with shifty eyes and hammered my shoulder. He said to me in an interrogative tone, "Third Baby, you brat, you've always wanted to get rich quietly since you were young. Tell me, when did you hook up with Ye Pianpian?"
I leaned on the bed and glanced at him. I said in annoyance, "Ye Pianpian is a great beauty. Even if I wanted to hook up with her, I would have to have the ability to do so. Which eye of yours saw me hook up with her?"
The fat man curled his lips and said, "Bullsh * t. Ye Pianpian and I are old acquaintances. I've never seen her talk to any man for more than five sentences. Even when she talked to you for such a long time, she didn't talk to me like this.
Not to mention the last few sentences she said to explain why she brought me here. It's too obvious that she's trying to hide something. "
After he said that, I was stunned. Actually, when Ye Pianpian spoke, I also felt that it was a bit strange.
According to Ye Pianpian's personality in the past, she definitely wouldn't explain so much to me.
The topic was a bit awkward and I didn't know what to say, so I changed the topic. I asked the fatty, "Were you really unconscious in the Fire God Temple and didn't notice anything?"
The fatty glanced at me in disdain. It was obvious that he noticed my intention to change the topic, but he still answered, "Yeah, it was just like sleeping. I closed my eyes and opened them, and a year passed. I was also a bit panicked."
I nodded and considered my tone. Then, I said, "Fatty, do you remember when you told me that you suspected Uncle Lin was still alive?"
The fatty's father's case was very strange, and it was related to the red shadow and the underground palace. Even if it was Ye Pianpian, I didn't want her to know about it. That's why I didn't mention it in front of her until now.
The smile on the fatty's face instantly disappeared. He sat up straight and asked me, "Did you find anything?"
I nodded and told him about how I returned to the Fire God Temple, how I met his father, and how his father tried to go in to save him. However, when I talked about how his father passed through the fire ring and entered the Fire God Temple, I hesitated and didn't say it.
Fatty and I grew up together, so I knew his personality very well. Although he usually laughed and didn't do anything proper, he was the most serious when something happened to him. If he knew that Uncle Lin entered the Fire God Temple to save him and didn't come out with him, he would probably immediately run back.
That's why I definitely couldn't tell him about it now. I'd better wait and see if there was any news from gramps Li. Then, I'll decide if I should tell the fatty or not.
Hearing my words, the fatty immediately jumped up from the bed, and pulled me and asked in a hurry, "Is what you said true?
You saw with your own eyes that my dad is still alive? "
I nodded with certainty. The fatty became even more excited and said as if he was talking to himself, "He went to the Fire God Temple to save me?
But I came out. Where is he?
San Wa, could it be that he saved me but didn't come out himself? "
Then, his expression changed greatly. He got off the bed and scratched his head. "San Wa, why didn't you tell me earlier?
No, I have to go back and find him. "
As he said that, he picked up his coat and walked outside. I quickly grabbed him and tried to calm him down. "Don't rush. Uncle Lin just said that. Something happened on my side, so I didn't contact him. I'm not sure if he went or not. But think about it, Uncle Lin is just a coroner in our village. Even if he really went there, it would be hard to lure him out of the Fire God Temple, let alone go in."
After my advice, the fatty finally calmed down. He stood there and thought for a while. Then, he sighed and sat down again.
I heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, I didn't tell him what happened. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to hold him back.
Taking advantage of his hesitation, I tried to calm him down. "Grandpa Li and the others have already entered the Fire God Temple. When they come back, we'll go and ask them. Then, we'll know what happened inside. Even if Uncle Lin really went in, you have to wait until Grandpa Li comes back if you want to find him."
The fatty hesitated for a while but eventually nodded.
After this incident, although the fatty didn't act impulsively, he was a lot more depressed. He didn't say anything else and just laid down to sleep.
I also laid down, but I couldn't fall asleep. I squinted my eyes and recalled the trip to the Fire God Temple. I suddenly remembered the strange behavior of the woman called Bai Ling when the Fire God Temple disappeared in front of my eyes.
I couldn't help but ask the fatty if he noticed Bai Ling after he woke up.
At that time, the fatty and Bai Ling had a close relationship. When I asked him, he immediately said, "After I woke up, I looked around. Besides himself, I didn't find anyone else. Then, he asked me curiously," Why did I think of Bai Ling? "
This time, I didn't hide it from him. I told him about the appearance of the silver-eyed statue after they disappeared, as well as Bai Ling's strange behavior.
The fatty opened his eyes wide and was stunned for a long time. Then, he said with an incredulous expression, "I didn't know that Bai Ling wasn't a simple person."
The two of us discussed this matter for a long time, but we didn't have any clues. In the end, we went to sleep and didn't talk about it anymore.
The next day, after I packed my things, I went with the fatty and Ye Pianpian. I was about to take a taxi to the train station when I suddenly received a call from Xu Ziyu.
On the phone, Xu Ziyu told me that she had finished her business and had contacted the people of Mount Longhu of the Zhengyi School. They had agreed to let her join Mount Longhu.
At this moment, she was heading to Jiangxi. She said that she wanted to meet me before entering Mount Longhu.
Ever since I got to know Xu Ziyu, she seemed to have been cursed by fate. All kinds of misfortune came one after another, and among all the misfortune, part of it was because of Tong Tong, and part of it was because of me. Hearing her pleading tone, I hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
