Chapter 82 Oath
Xia Ru's voice rang out in the silent world, swaying in circles like water waves.

People cannot hear her voice and sleep peacefully in the water.

Shao Xiaoxiao floated quietly aside, not sure if she heard what they were saying. After a long time, she said softly:
"For a while, I returned to my old house and often heard my grandma talking. I told my parents, but they didn't believe it, saying that I missed my grandma too much... But I clearly heard it right at the time."

When they were chased to school by gangsters, Shao Xiaoxiao once told Su Zhen about this incident, using it as the basis for Su Zhen to sense the existence of her sister.

"Did you hear what grandma said?" Xia Ru asked.

"I……"

Shao Xiaoxiao stroked her head with both hands. After a burst of painful memories, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Grandma, she said..."

Grandma's murmur echoed in her mind, as if she had never forgotten it. She repeated it, her voice like clockwork, with a stiff and terrifying tone:
"Grandma, she said... we are all filial to our children and granddaughters. The king of hell in the underworld should not beat them. Offer money and burn paper candles. May the deceased live in peace and happiness..."

After Shao Xiaoxiao finished reciting, he reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, but he couldn't touch his cheeks. His soul was just a shadow without substance, unable to withstand any real touch.

"This shows that your sixth sense is sharp enough to transcend the barriers in the world. This is your luck."

Shao Xiaoxiao looked at all this and was speechless.

Shao Xiaoxiao felt confused.

Su Zhen quickly gave the answer: "Okay, I'll go with you."

It turned out that grandma was a survivor, and she and her parents were the victims of the disaster. This was a tragedy that sent people with white hair to people with black hair, but people in the whirlpool of the tragedy were unaware of it.

"..."

"...So, is that what it is?"

She was originally going to ride the roller coaster. The queue that day was very long, and it took a full hour to get to them. When she was happily preparing to get on, her father suddenly turned pale and dragged her for a long distance as if he was running for his life.

Xia Ru looked at Shao Xiaoxiao again and asked, "Xiaoxiao, what about you?"

The crystal-clear and almost false sunlight fell from the sky, piercing through her body, and her soul retained a little light, and she exuded brilliance, like a lamp hanging in the wind.

"Is it the amusement park in Can Can Mountain? It had a major accident in 2007. The car in front failed to cross the highest point of the track due to a malfunction. It reversed under the influence of gravity and collided with the car behind it, causing There were casualties. At that time, your world must have been 2001. You were in the third grade. Your father's perception was equally keen and he unexpectedly saw scenes in the real world.

She remembered her father taking her to the amusement park when she was little.

Not only grandma, Shao Xiaoxiao also remembered many things.

"It's not that easy. The sudden resurrection of tens of thousands of the dead will have a huge impact on the order of the real world. The rules of the world's operation will also be destroyed, and the consequences will be immeasurable." Xia Ruqian sighed.

Shao Xiaoxiao's soul trembled slightly in the silent world.

This is also a scene that often appears in her dreams.

In the past, she only had this scene in her memory: her young self was sitting in a dark auditorium, actors were performing a fairy tale program on the stage, artificial snowflakes were floating in the air, she was holding a bucket of popcorn, Silently crying on the seats.

Xia Ruzhan smiled, whether it was joy or sadness, she said: "To use the words in the movie, it should be that love can travel through time and space."

She was reluctant to be separated from her family, and she was also reluctant to leave Su Zhen. She was in a dilemma and hesitated.

However, this tragedy has not happened in your history. Your father may have done something to make the staff eliminate the danger. "

“Mr. He really expressed his confusion.

Shao Xiaoxiao told Xia Ru about this matter. Xia Ru thought for a while and asked:

"Trust your sister, she will handle all this properly." Xia Ru said.

"Won't I come back soon?" Xia Ru said.

She couldn't remember why she was crying.

Now, she remembered.

"I left, can I come back?" Shao Xiaoxiao asked very gently.

This was the only way to break the blood oath, he had no choice.

"Your soul is alive and your body is preserved. If the two merge into one, won't you be alive?" Xia Ru said lightly.

"Then what you said, the way to cut off the blood oath is..."

Angry and anxious, she asked her father what happened, but his father couldn't explain clearly. He just sent her to the theater where fairy tales were performed and asked her to sit here obediently and wait for her father to come back.

Xia Ru no longer pretended, she quickly gave the answer and explained: "There is a crack that is difficult to bridge between Nantang Nantang and Xijingguo, but the channel between the Netherworld and reality was completely opened by Xiaojia , and is guarded by her, as long as it goes to the real world, the blood oath cannot pass through Xiaojia and directly affect us."

"I……"

Isn't she talking about a campus romance? How come you're going to turn into a ghost if you're not careful?

Shao Xiaoxiao also recalled the past and tried to digest what he saw in front of him.

Su Zhen looked confused and asked: "Can a dead person still go to reality?"

"This should be the place opened by Xiaojia to preserve your corpses. Where is it specifically... Xiaojia didn't explain it to me, and I have no way of knowing." Xia Ru gave an unsatisfactory explanation.

"To the real world."

"To the real world?"

"If this is the case, won't everyone in Nantang survive?" Shao Xiaoxiao interjected.

Su Zhen stared at the people floating in the water. After the battle between heaven and man, he asked: "If I leave here, will my parents lose me? They don't know this, how sad they must be."

Even if this world is fake, there are still her relatives, friends, and everything she is familiar with. In the so-called real world, her parents and friends have almost become cold words on the list of victims. How can she accept it? What about these?

"Um……"

Shao Xiaoxiao still couldn't give a clear answer.

Su Zhen floated to her side like the wind, held her illusory hand, and said, "Xiaoxiao, let's go see our real bodies first."

"Okay, okay."

Shao Xiaoxiao temporarily glanced away from the messy thoughts. She smiled slightly, held hands with Su Zhenxu, and drifted through this ocean-like world like the wind.

Nantang was submerged in water below, and the buildings were strangely intact. It seemed that this was not a disaster area at all, but a residence built by intelligent marine life. The corpses showed a strange and graceful beauty through the water light, as if A group of sleeping mermaids will surely wake up with gentle singing.

Their bodies have a natural attraction for their souls, and it didn't take long before they each found their bodies immersed in the water.

This seawater is like an infinite nutrient solution, and the body soaked in it continues to grow over time.

Shao Xiaoxiao, who was curled up in the water, looked the same as herself, except that she was wearing a lilac floral dress and white stockings in the water. This seemed to be her outfit before the disaster, and her clothes also stretched out with the years. The fabric always pressed against her snow-white body.

This body was like a mirror. The moment he saw it, the confusion in his heart was pierced, and Shao Xiaoxiao saw his own imperfections.

She had an urge for no reason, the urge to embrace her original body.

"It turns out that this is me." Shao Xiaoxiao whispered.

The bodies they were in before were just thin shells created by Su Qingjia to temporarily accommodate their souls.

That body is fragile. Once it is invaded by strangeness or accidentally sees the real world, it is easy to suffer from "lost soul syndrome".

Shao Xiaoxiao looked at his body in a daze.

Su Zhen's soul has merged with his body.

He breathed in this unreal water and swam slowly towards Shao Xiaoxiao.

Shao Xiaoxiao subconsciously wanted to touch him, but the outstretched arm passed through his body.

They can still see each other, but they are already separated by yin and yang.

"Xiaoxiao."

Su Zhen looked at her and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, please go back. Your father has just been discharged from the hospital. Your family should still be waiting for you to eat. Don't keep them waiting."

Shao Xiaoxiao did not respond to his words. She said to herself: "Teacher Xia Ru said that our experience was just a dream. I think this is inappropriate. Each of us has a clear past, and everyone has experienced it." Unique joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys, what is the difference between this and the real world? It may be the underworld, but it is definitely not a dream."

Shao Xiaoxiao's pretty eyes gradually brightened up, reflecting the light like dewdrops, and she said:
"However, we can't always live in the underworld. We must change everything. Whether it is Lu Zhaiyuan or Sui Shen, the power will eventually be exhausted one day. When the senior sister is overwhelmed and unable to maintain this Nantang, then Everyone will be completely wiped out.

I really want to be reunited with my family, but I want to be reunited with them in the real world even more. Now that I'm awake, there's no point in pretending to be asleep. The senior sister led me here, which means that I am also the chosen girl, and the chosen girl should save everyone! How can you back down from the battle? "

After Shao Xiaoxiao said this, she felt more relaxed, and her already light soul felt like nothing. She opened her arms and said firmly to the young man in front of her:

"Classmate Su Zhen, I want to hug you."

The sleeping girl in the purple floral dress opened her eyes. She came to life in the water and opened her arms to Su Zhen.

Su Zhen stared at the girl's moving smile, his hands gently slid across her waist and intertwined on her back.

The girl's soft body was held tightly in his arms.

Shao Xiaoxiao also pressed the side of her face against his chest, as if listening to his powerful beating heartbeat, her cheeks were slightly blushing for some reason.

In the sunken Nantang, in the gentle lake water, tens of thousands of corpses floated slowly in the sky like clouds, and lively boys and girls hugged each other in the water.

They will remember this moment for the rest of their lives.

Su Zhen bit her crystal clear ear beads and said softly:

"Xiaoxiao, you are the best girl, we should never be separated."

----

'and after? What happened next? ! ! '

Su Zhen sat on a lonely bluestone, looking at the strange ancient town in the drizzle, with a blank look on his face.

He sat here for a long time. He thought about what happened over and over again.

He could still clearly recall the hug with Shao Xiaoxiao, the pair of tearful and smiling eyes, and even the soft and pliable touch of her waist, and the heart-pounding feeling of their chests touching each other. Acceleration is soft.

But it was hard for him to remember what happened next.

In the extremely fragmented memory, there is a vague scene of the three of them returning to the Three Wisdom Bodhisattva and following the direction pointed by the Bodhisattva to the real world.

but……

Why didn't he return to the real world?
This is not 2015, but Xijingguo.

He returned to Westview Junior High School.

Moreover, what he is using now is neither the body of the red-haired girl nor the ferocious monster body, but his own body!

What happened in the middle?
Su Zhen lowered his head and found that he was wearing a cyan robe that he had never seen before. The robe was of an ancient style, but the needles were unexpectedly neat. It looked like the work of a sewing machine.

He looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar self and fell into confusion for a long time.

----

When Shao Xiaoxiao woke up from the soft bed, it was dark.

She didn't have the habit of staying in bed. After washing up step by step, she immediately sorted out yesterday's homework and put them in her schoolbag in order of size.

Shao Xiaoxiao put on his coat, tied up his hair in a ponytail, and looked again and again in front of the mirror. After he was satisfied, he got on his bicycle and went to school.

After greeting her classmates briefly, she took her seat.

The seat next to him remained empty.

"Is Su Zhen going to be late again? That's too much. After becoming my deskmate, I won't accept his homework. He won't slack off because of this, right?"

Shao Xiaoxiao held his chin in his hands, thinking slightly unhappily, and decided to give him a good beating after he arrived at school to make him change his ways.

Thinking this, she couldn't help but rub her temples.

She didn't know why, but her head had been hurting since she got up today, as if... she had forgotten something.

When all the classmates had arrived, the seat next to her was still empty. Su Zhen was usually a popular figure in the school, and people would ask about the slightest thing, but for some reason, no one asked him about it today.

Wait, is Su Zhen a wanted criminal?

A chill surged from the soles of his feet, causing Shao Xiaoxiao to sit upright unconsciously.

She quickly opened her phone and wanted to send a message to Su Zhen.

However, she looked through her address book and couldn't find Su Zhen's name.

The bad premonition amplified in her heart, she opened QQ again, quickly pressed the button to search, but could not find Su Zhen's friends.

'How is this going? It’s impossible for Su Zhen to delete me, right? '

When Shao Xiaoxiao looked at the screen in fear, someone suddenly tapped her shoulder. She looked up in horror and found that it was Chen Ling. Chen Ling was also startled by her reaction and asked: "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?"

"Where's Su Zhen? Why didn't Su Zhen come to class?" Shao Xiaoxiao asked immediately.

"Su Zhen? What Su Zhen? Is there such a person in our class? Or is he a new teacher?" Chen Ling blinked dully.

"what……"

Shao Xiaoxiao's body couldn't help but start to tremble. She pointed to the seat next to her and said, "Su Zhen, that's the person sitting here. You... don't remember?"

"Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about? Where can you sit here? You were ranked first in the class before, so you asked the teacher to sit alone, and the teacher agreed. Before, everyone was still discussing who had the beauty and the school beauty. As a deskmate, who would have expected that the school beauty would be so cold-blooded and reject everyone equally." Chen Ling said, half complaining and half joking.

Shao Xiaoxiao's mind went blank.

She stared at Chen Ling for a while and asked, "Do you really not remember Su Zhen? He also saved you... You also said before that he played the pen fairy game with you."

"Ever rescued me? Have you ever played the pen fairy game?"

Chen Ling frowned. She stretched out her hand and pressed it on Shao Xiaoxiao's hair behind her bangs. She said worriedly, "Xiaoxiao, did you have a fever that burned your brain? Where is Su Zhen?"

Shao Xiaoxiao asked the classmates behind him again. Their faces were all strange, and they all said they did not remember Su Zhen.

'how so? how so? '

Shao Xiaoxiao looked sadly at the empty seat beside him and muttered to himself in despair.

Chen Ling became even more worried and said, "Xiaoxiao, shall I accompany you to see the school doctor?"

"What about Xia Ru? Where is Teacher Xia Ru? Do you remember?" Shao Xiaoxiao asked again.

"Xia Ru? Who is Xia Ru?" Chen Ling was even more confused.

"..."

Dizziness came over her, and Shao Xiaoxiao gasped a few times. She held her head, and her whole body seemed to be in pain. Chen Ling wanted to help her, but she pushed her away.

"Xiaoxiao..." Chen Ling looked at her helplessly.

Shao Xiaoxiao grabbed her schoolbag and ran out of the classroom. On the way, she bumped into Teacher Jiang Jintao. The teacher cordially greeted the girl who had ranked first in her grade, but was ruthlessly ignored. She was extremely embarrassed for a moment.

Shao Xiaoxiao got on the car and drove out of the school gate quickly, heading straight to Su Zhen's home.

Half an hour later, the sweaty girl arrived at the door of Su Zhen's house.

Trembling, she knocked on the door.

It was Su Zhen's father who opened the door.

"Please, please, is Su... is classmate Su at home?" Shao Xiaoxiao asked cautiously.

"Classmate Su?"

The father had a strange look on his face, and then he said: "Oh, are you Xiaojia's friend? She said that friends will come to the house today and asked me to help entertain them."

Then, the man opened the door and led her into the house.

She had been to Su Zhen's home, and the layout was still the same as in her memory. It had not changed at all. The only thing that had changed was perhaps the photo next to the memorial tablet. In the photo, there was an immature little boy. He looked very introverted, with his head lowered slightly, his eyes There was a timid light in it.

Shao Xiaoxiao walked over slowly, carefully picked up the photo frame, and gently touched the boy's cheek with his fingers through the glass.

My father came out with a cup and a hot water bottle and happened to see this scene. He smiled and said in a calm tone:
"That's my youngest son, Su Zhen. His life was not as good as his sister's. He died in the Millennium Flood... It's been nine years."

Shao Xiaoxiao gently put the photo back.

"Senior Su Qingjia...she is alive...where is she now?" Shao Xiaoxiao looked dazed.

"Qingjia, she just returned to college today. Before she left, she told me that a very beautiful girl would come to her today and asked me to help entertain her, and then give this to you...here."

Su Zhen's father handed over a letter.

Shao Xiaoxiao took it, opened it, and unfolded the paper inside flatly. There was no complicated content on it, only one sentence:

Senior sister, please be patient and take the college entrance examination well. Senior sister is waiting for you at Tansha University~
Shao Xiaoxiao closed the letter.

The man poured water for her.

She looked at the mist, and gradually remembered what happened yesterday.

Reminds me of the Nantang that was flooded.

I also remembered their unforgettable tender embrace.

She couldn't remember what happened next.

but……

Shao Xiaoxiao's hand lightly touched the wall of the glass, but was so hot that she retracted it. She stared at the glass of water, suddenly smiled brightly, and swore softly:
"Su Zhen, no matter where you go, I will find you back."

----

Su Zhen also stood up from the bluestone.

It's drizzling.

Like a thread or a needle.

He felt the inheritance left to him by his Miao mother in his soul, recalled the ghostly Nantang, and gradually understood something.

He walked into the rain, and walked into the rain in Xijingguo as Su Zhen.

Through the diffuse mist, he could see the road in front of him clearly.

Xiaoxiao was right, how could that Nantang be fake? Even the ghost realm is by no means fake. The joys and sorrows he experienced are real, and so are all kinds of people and things.

They are all true. To deny these is to deny yourself.

They have to become real!

"Yu Yue has given up his identity as a divine craftsman, so I will become Xiantian Zhi Lao Yuanjun."

Su Zhen felt the touch of raindrops hitting her skin, and made an oath to the world in front of her:

"I want to become Xiantian Zhi Lao Yuanjun..."

"I want to sew up the cracks my sister made when she ascended, and I want to sew Nantang back to the real world!"
