Commander's Destiny

Chapter 22
When everyone returned to the bridge where they set off just now, the stone bridge had been split into two, and it was several meters away from both sides, and a wide and dark passage appeared in the middle.

Yao Jingli was overjoyed and exclaimed, "This should be the entrance."

However, Bai Wuyan suddenly replied with a solemn expression: "It should be, but I want to pour cold water on you in advance. I don't think this place is like a Wei-Jin tomb. Do you want to continue?"

Yao Jingli pondered for a moment, then said firmly: "Perhaps Wandering Soul didn't figure it out, this is indeed not necessarily the tomb of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but the runes on the stone gate just now are absolutely similar to the ones in my dream. I think the runes I always see in my dreams must not only be caused by the psychological shadow of my childhood on the voodoo altar. They are unpredictable and different every time they appear. Or at least there is some connection, and I also want to know, what is the connection between this place and the Voodoo Sect, and the Hall of Souls?"

Bai Wuyan didn't expect the little girl in front of him to have such a firm spirit, and he couldn't help feeling admiration in his heart.He couldn't help looking at Yao Jingli a few more times, and said loudly: "Okay, since that's the case, let's go through this journey together. I also want to know more about the Hall of Souls, and maybe I can find out more about it. Some information about myself."

Yao Jingli knew in his heart that Bai Wuyan usually likes to joke on the surface, but he is very reliable when something happens to him. Now that his frankness has finally won his sincere approval, he can't help but feel warm in his heart, and a shy blush floats on his cheeks , she hurriedly turned away, and said softly: "Brother Bai, Jingli would like to thank you again, and Qianfeng, thank you for being willing to accompany me to explore all the way. No matter what happens to the three of us in the future, this kindness, Jingli No matter what happens in the future, no matter how difficult it is, Jingli will never leave..."

Bai Wuyan didn't want to hear these children's love and chatter the most, so he quickly interrupted her and said: "Close this first, let's talk about it later, haha, Qianfeng, let's go, let's go."

At this moment, Jiang Qianfeng and Bai Wuyan would never have imagined what kind of sacrifices this weak woman who said she would never leave will make for them in the future. The two of them seemed to have not yet enlightened, and they only focused on the present.Jiang Qianfeng couldn't even forget the pheasant, and asked smartly: "Master Bai, don't you want to get another pheasant to check?"

"What are you looking for? Didn't you see that the stone walls on both sides of this passage are still seeping water? There must be enough air." Bai Wuyan replied angrily.

So everyone lit the torches again and walked down the steps.The steps are very steep, and each step is not very wide. This time, Bai Wuyan walked at the front, Yao Jingli followed in the middle, and Jiang Qianfeng walked at the end.

After walking about 100 steps, he still didn't reach the end of the passage. The silence seemed particularly terrifying in this cramped space. Before Yao Jingli could speak, Jiang Qianfeng couldn't help complaining: "Could it be The stairway to hell, why is it so long."

Hearing what he said, Yao Jingli suddenly shuddered, and before he could stand still, he rushed towards Bai Wuyan in front of him.

Hearing Jiang Qianfeng's complaint, Bai Wuyan turned around instinctively and wanted to answer, but he happened to see Yao Jingli, and fell towards him with a pale face. She stood up firmly, and said to Jiang Qianfeng behind: "Hey, I've been with you for so long, and I didn't realize it. How did your kid's mouth start to be so poor?"

Jiang Qianfeng didn't show weakness, and said stubbornly: "It's just the two of us, plus an old horse, that's not like learning from Master Bai. That old horse can't teach me anything."

"Can you learn from me? You see, Jingli was taken aback by you." Bai Wuyan's hug was not a big deal, but it touched Yao Jingli's girlish heart. She hurriedly broke the awkward atmosphere and walked away. The topic said: "Brother Bai, I'm fine, let's go, maybe the exit is in front, I seem to hear the sound of running water again."

So the three of them continued to stop and go, speculating about the affairs of the Zhai family, chatting about the life of Liang Ping and Zhu Jiu, walking about a hundred or so steps in the dark and damp corridor, slowly. Slowly, I could really hear the clear sound of running water, but this time the sound of the water flow was louder, as if there was a rushing river nearby.

Bai Wuyan encouraged Jiang Qianfeng, who was still dragging behind, following slowly: "Keep working harder, the exit should be in front."

When Jiang Qianfeng heard that he suddenly became interested, he was still motivated by curiosity, so he quickened his pace and caught up from behind. He took the lead and said, "What will be ahead? Why don't you let me scout the way."

After saying that, Jiang Qianfeng took three steps and made five steps at the same time, and actually distanced himself from Bai Wuyan and Yao Jingli.At this time, Yao Jingli held Bai Wuyan in secret, and asked quietly: "Brother Bai, if one day, you were asked to choose between Qianfeng and me to save one person, and the other was either dead or enemy, would you choose?" Save who?"

Suddenly being asked this question, Bai Wuyan responded without hesitation: "I said Jingli, what are you talking about for no reason? Even if you are in such a situation, why do you have to make a choice? I am sure you two They will all be saved."

"What if I have to make a choice?" Yao Jingli's eyes were firm, as if he wanted Bai Wuyan to make a choice right away.

"Then I'll choose to save one first, and then the other." Bai Wuyan's answer seemed to be full of strength and arrogance, but it was actually a determination to never compromise in the face of fate. Maybe he was such a person in his stock, so No matter when, he will say the same thing and make the same choice as today.

And when Yao Jingli confirmed Bai Wuyan's answer again, she felt an unparalleled shock in her heart, maybe this is the companion she wanted to find.The ancients often said that it is enough to have a confidant in life. In fact, this confidant is difficult to say, but easy to say.In fact, it is a chance between several people, meeting by chance, because of the understanding of each other's different life goals and the tolerance of each other's different perspectives and positions when facing this complex world together.Even if it is a short time to accompany you on the same road, or even if you live in a sea of ​​life, who can be 100% perfect with whom, and everything is highly unified?Only the unchanging true fiery heart will trigger the expected resonance and touch in an instant. When sincerity melts the ice and trust builds a growth city, each other will gradually become the most recognized companions in the bottom of my heart. .It is no wonder that there are beautiful legends about ghosts, gods, fairies, demons, and demons in ancient and modern times. If someone really finds a bosom friend who cares about each other, then no matter what shocking stories happen between them, what is impossible?So when people get along with each other, sometimes we really can't just look at the length of time, Yao Jingli thought so, and when he looked at Bai Wuyan, this foolish white-faced scholar seemed to have a halo, she believed him, he was the kind of person she was looking forward to .

But Bai Wuyan is an unpredictable person.Because he himself has not yet fully understood himself and figured out his past and present lives.In fact, whether it is accepting the entrustment of Jiang Qianfeng from the old heavenly master, or wanting to walk with Yao Jingli all the way, I seem to have seen my own shadow in others, and I have also seen the courage to face the uncertain fate and the unknown future.Although sometimes they are ignorant and fearless, unconsciously, when they are with them, they feel relaxed, life has a lot more meaning, and they feel less confused.It seems that constantly experiencing, even if you are not struggling in the vortex that traps you, but helping and giving to others, can also fill up the emptiness that arises when you face all the unknowns due to cowardice or confusion.In this way, even if you can't find your past life, this life is not in vain.Thinking of this, the two people who were in a daze suddenly smiled at each other as if they were connected, and then moved forward tacitly, but this time their steps were much more steadfast and much lighter.

Jiang Qianfeng in front had disappeared, and the two of them chased after for a while, when suddenly some light came through from ahead, it seemed that they were finally going to the exit of this tunnel.
