When I heard this voice, I froze on the spot.
There was no other reason than that I was too familiar with the words' you'll know in the future. '
From the very beginning when Bi An appeared by my side, to the Nangong Palace, to the sacrifice of the evil spirit, until now, I can't remember how many people have told me the words "You'll know in the future". Although this white-haired old man is the master of Penglai, it's really not strange to hear him say these words.
I didn't even bother to guess the reason. After thinking for a while, I concluded that the Qilin wouldn't be in any danger if he stayed here. Moreover, the white-haired old man was far more powerful than me, and I owed him a debt of gratitude for not obstructing my search for Ye Pianpian. So, I didn't hesitate and turned to leave.
Han Wennan stayed here while the Sacrificial Evil Spirit and I walked back to where we had come from. Soon, we arrived at the place where we had come from. But when we got here, I realized a problem.
When we first came here, we relied on the Qilin to break the barrier. Now that the Qilin stayed here and didn't follow us, how could we get out?
I was dumbfounded. When I was talking to the old man, I only cared about the Qilin and didn't think about our own safety.
I wanted to find the old man again, but how could we find him in the vast Peng Lai Immortal Region?
He was a person with great cultivation, and he didn't live in a village like Ye Pianpian.
While I was thinking, the Sacrificial Evil Spirit suddenly walked to the barrier in front of us. He stared at the seemingly empty barrier for a while, then suddenly reached out and pressed on the barrier.
Seeing his actions, I was startled and wanted to stop him.
In the Peng Lai Immortal Region, witchcraft energy was suppressed and couldn't be used. Although the Sacrificial Evil Spirit's cultivation was high, his power wasn't as strong as mine.
Moreover, the barrier of the Peng Lai Immortal Region was extremely powerful. If he acted rashly, he might be counterattacked.
As soon as I stopped him, the Sacrificial Evil Spirit's hand had already passed through the barrier and reached the other side.
I was dumbfounded again. I didn't expect this at all.
It seemed that the Peng Lai Immortal Region was difficult to enter but easy to get out.
There were endless obstacles on the way in, but it was easy to get out.
Since that was the case, I didn't waste any more time and followed the Sacrificial Evil Spirit out.
When we got outside, we saw that the sky was already dark. A helicopter was hovering not far from us. It was the helicopter that Han Wennan had left here to pick us up.
Seeing us, the helicopter quickly flew over and opened the hatch to let us in.
After getting on the helicopter, someone asked where the Sacrificial Evil Spirit was.
After I told him the truth, he didn't ask anything and directly drove the helicopter to return.
After returning to the hotel, I directly packed my luggage and left. However, I didn't go back to Shenzhen. Instead, I went to the Jingchu Land.
Calculating the time, it was almost time for me to meet Lao Ai in half a year. I naturally wouldn't miss it.
Speaking of the Fire God Temple, I recalled the silver-eyed man from back then, who was also Shang Qi. The last time I went there, I didn't see him, and I didn't know if he was still in the Fire God Temple.
A few days ago, I met Wang Hai in the Spirit Lock Tower and wanted to tell Shang Qi about it. After all, Wang Hai was his descendant.
On the way south, when I had nothing to do, I couldn't help but think about Lao Ai. I didn't know how she had been in the past six months. Had she been reading ancient scrolls and waiting for the meeting on the Magpie Bridge every six months?
When I saw Ye Pianpian in the Peng Lai Immortal Region, I thought more about Lao Ai.
Ye Pianpian could only be considered a passerby in my life, but Lao Ai was different.
Ever since I was a teenager, she had been by my bedside every night. All of my fantasies and expectations about women had been pinned on her. Later on, she had led me on this path, and I had gradually discovered my hidden identity.
It could be said that from the first time we met, my life had been intertwined with Lao Ai and couldn't be separated.
If it weren't for the so-called Heavenly Path, Lao Ai and I would have been living together by now.
When I first found out that the Heavenly Path was obstructing us, I couldn't control the anger in my heart. Now, my heart was much calmer, but I didn't dare to forget the oath I made. My mind became more resolute.
It was just that in the past six months, my cultivation had stagnated due to the instability of my foundation due to the rapid advancement of my cultivation. I hadn't advanced for a long time.
Now that I had experienced so many things, my temperament and foundation had become much more stable. It was time to improve myself again.
Of course, the advancement of cultivation wasn't something that could be decided with just a few words. After meeting Lao Ai this time, I had to put in more effort.
At the very least, it was time to meet the Tai Sui in Thailand.
As I was thinking about this, we had arrived at the Shennongjia forest area.
It was late at night, and the scenic area was naturally closed. After I got off the car with the evil priest spirit, I flew up and rushed all the way. Not long after, we arrived outside the Fire God Temple.
Perhaps it was because of the homesickness, I was a little nervous as I looked at the Fire God Temple hidden in the darkness. I stood there in silence. After a long time, I exhaled and stepped in.
In the Fire God Temple, it was silent. On the red platform, the red chair was still there.
However, there was no one in the hall and the contract hadn't appeared.
There were still a few days before Lao Ai would appear.
I wasn't in a hurry. I let the evil priest spirit do as he pleased while I went to my bedroom to meditate.
I meditated for three days. At noon on the third day, I opened my eyes. Before I could get up, I heard a voice from behind me.
"Husband."
It was still a gentle and deep voice. It was calm and otherworldly, as though she hadn't waited for half a year and was just welcoming her husband who had left in the morning.
My heart was instantly filled with sweetness. I stood up and slowly turned around.
She was still wearing the red wedding dress from back then, and she still had the same gentle smile.
Looking at her now, all the matters in my heart were tossed aside. All the filth that I had experienced in the past six months had been washed clean.
I didn't say anything and neither did she. She slowly walked in front of me and hugged me with her soft and cold body.
On the way here, I had so many things that I couldn't wait to say to her. However, after seeing her, I didn't want to say a single word. I just wanted to freeze this happiness and satisfaction forever.
At this moment, saying anything would be a blasphemy against this happiness.
After an hour, the greed in my heart eased a little. I moved my arm slightly and Lao Ai came out of my embrace. She was still smiling as she asked me about what I had experienced in the past six months.
Ever since I had stepped on the path of cultivation, I hadn't lived a peaceful life. Although it had only been half a year, I had experienced many things.
Lao Ai and I sat down and picked up some trivial things, telling her bit by bit.
There was no light source in the bedroom. We didn't care about the sky outside and just talked.
When we talked about dangerous things, I didn't avoid it and Lao Ai didn't worry about it. Her eyes were full of heartache.
When we talked about other things, such as the rescue of Ye Pianpian, Lao Ai smiled and gave a brief comment.
"She's a good woman."
I smiled back at her. "Is she as good as you?"
I didn't know why, but the smile on Lao Ai's face grew wider. She nodded affirmatively. "Yes, as good as me."
If I had a choice, I would naturally want to forget everything and stay here with Lao Ai forever.
However, we couldn't do what ordinary couples were used to doing.
Happy times were always short.
The next day, Lao Ai got up early and prepared food for me like the most ordinary wife.
After the meal, we cleaned up the dishes and sat for a while before discussing the next meal.
Lunch was naturally the best time to eat after noon, but we couldn't do that.
We started to prepare the meal early. She was the chef and I was the assistant.
I had never done kitchen chores before, so it was inevitable that I was clumsy. Lao Ai, on the other hand, wasn't a woman who often handled pots and pans.
He had planned to finish the meal at noon, but he only managed to finish it when it was already noon.
Lao Ai stood by the dining table and reached out to touch my cheek with a smile. Her voice was still soft, but the sadness of parting couldn't be concealed.
She said, "Hubby can only eat this meal alone."
I nodded, but I couldn't say anything.
Lao Ai wanted to say something, but her figure had already blurred. She didn't even give me time to linger and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
I didn't say anything until I couldn't find a trace of red in front of me. Then, I sat down and carefully ate all the food on the dining table. Afterward, I got up and looked around the small bedroom before turning to leave.
Even after I left the Fire God Temple, the silver-eyed man still hadn't appeared. Naturally, I couldn't tell him about Wang Hai.
On the other hand, the sacrificial evil spirit, who had disappeared earlier, was standing outside waiting for me.
After seeing me, he didn't ask about the past few days, nor did he ask about Lao Ai. He just nodded at me and turned to walk in the direction he had come from.
After leaving the Fire God Temple, I arrived at the Shennongjia scenic area. Just as I was thinking about whether or not to return to Shenzhen, the phone in my pocket rang.
Recently, I had almost stopped using my phone.
There were only a few people who knew my number, and almost all of them had the Voice Transmitting Talisman that I had given them.
Usually, when I contacted them, I used the Voice Transmitting Talisman. I rarely used my phone.
That was why I felt strange when I heard my phone ringing. When I took it out, I saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
Puzzled, I pressed the answer button. As soon as I put the phone to my ear, I heard a hurried voice of a woman. "Hello, Mr. Zhou?
You finally picked up. I'm Fang Min. Do you remember me, Mr. Zhou? "
The person spoke quickly, and I didn't find Fang Min's name familiar.
As I was about to deny it, the voice on the phone rang again. "A few years ago, we met on a train. At that time, I was a Red and White Escort …"
As soon as I heard the words' Red and White Acquaintances', I suddenly remembered something.
A few years ago, after I was chased by Liang Tianxin, I was on my way home from Shennongjia to celebrate the New Year. At that time, I saw Fang Min on a train.
At that time, she was telling someone a story. In the middle of the story, she mentioned her job as a Red and White Escort. She also mentioned a strange incident that she had experienced.
It was because I had overheard her story that I gave her my phone number.
However, the incident that I had heard at that time was very strange. I knew that if she got involved in this matter, something bad would happen to her soon. That was why I gave her my phone number to sow good karma.
However, a few years had passed, and I hadn't received any news from her. I thought that the incident that year was most likely because she had met with a calamity and was no longer in this world.
I didn't expect that I would receive her message at this time.
