Behind the three people, there was a violent roar.
The sound was deafening, almost making Xia Hua and Luo Jiutian scream out in shock.
"What's going on?"
The two quickly turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.
At the end of the road, two cars appeared out of nowhere. The fronts of the two cars collided heavily. Thick smoke rose from the front of the collision, floated into the air, and blended into the night.
"When was this..." Luo Jiutian turned his head in shock. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the Taoist Priest beside him, "Taoist Priest, what's wrong with you?"
The Taoist priest's mouth was slightly open, and the expression on his face was very strange.
Luo Jiutian had never seen the Taoist priest show such an expression.
It was an expression between confusion and surprise, with a little fear and a little childishness...
If I had to use one word to describe it, maybe it would be fragile.
Luo Jiutian's brain shook with a "boom".
This expression also appeared on Zhou Ye's face when he was poisoned.
"It's not good!" Luo Jiutian grabbed the Taoist priest's arm, and then stopped Xia Hua, who was about to approach the two cars, "Sister Hua, the Taoist priest seems to be poisoned!"
"What?!" Xia Hua stared at Luo Jiutian and the Taoist priest, and then at the two cars, "So...this is Taoist priest's memory?"
"Maybe," Luo Jiutian shouted, "otherwise there is no way to explain these two cars... But when was the Taoist Master poisoned?"
Xia Hua thought calmly for a few seconds, and then walked quickly towards the two of them as if she suddenly thought of something.
"Jiutian, where is the pit you fell into just now?" Xia Hua asked.
"A pit?" Luo Jiutian lowered his head and started searching, "Probably..."
"Jiutian! Don't move!" Xia Hua suddenly screamed.
Luo Jiutian was looking for a trap with his head lowered, but when Xia Hua called out like this, he immediately froze on the spot.
"Sister Hua, what's wrong?" Luo Jiutian rolled his eyes in horror, like a child with a wasp flying around him, "What...what happened?"
Xia Hua carefully squatted behind Luo Jiutian. After a while, Xia Hua covered her nose with one hand and pinched something with her sleeve with the other hand, and stood up.
"You can move now," Xia Hua threw the thing on the ground, pinched her nose and said, "Look."
Luo Jiutian also followed Xia Hua's example, pinching his nose and bending down to look at the thing.
It was a green leaf, which was different from the usual leaves. There were no lines on the surface of the leaf, and the edge of the leaf showed a hairy shape. Compared with the real leaf, it looked more like a leaf torn by young hands.
The resulting paper-cut works.
Luo Jiutian raised his head and looked at Xia Hua, "Is this the big-leaf mandala?"
The two people stared at each other.
"Who are you asking me?" Xia Hua said, "I guess... this could be its leaves?"
"It seems that the Taoist accidentally touched it when he was helping me, so I was poisoned." Luo Jiutian moved back cautiously, "Hey, it's strange, then why wasn't I poisoned?"
"Do you have any important forgotten memories?" Xia Hua asked.
Luo Jiutian said helplessly, "You said it was forgotten, how could I still remember it?"
"That must be because your father has protected you too well and he has never had any painful experiences," Xia Hua said, "Unlike Zhou Ye and Taoist Priest...where is Taoist Priest?"
When the two of them reacted, the Taoist priest was no longer beside them. They both looked in the direction of the collision. Sure enough, the Taoist priest was walking towards there in despair.
"Taoist Priest!"
The two of them gave chase.
Luo Jiutian caught up with the Taoist Master in a few steps. He grabbed the Taoist Master's arm, lay down in his ear and shouted loudly.
"Master Taoist, wake up! This is all an illusion!"
"Jiutian, let Taoist Master go!" Xia Hua said loudly, "Have you forgotten how Zhou Ye escaped from the illusion?"
"But……"
"We have to let the Taoist Priest go through all this by himself," Xia Hua said seriously, "We have to let the Taoist Priest remember it."
Luo Jiutian looked at the Taoist Priest worriedly, but suddenly found that the Taoist Priest's lips seemed to be moving slightly.
It's like saying something.
"Sister Hua, the Taoist priest seems to have something to say." Luo Jiutian said hurriedly.
"What did you say?"
"I can't hear clearly," Luo Jiutian stared at the Taoist priest's lips, imitating his mouth shape with his own mouth, and said slowly, "No... don't look..."
"Don't look at it?" Xia Hua asked, "What are you looking at?"
Luo Jiutian shook his head.
Don't look... ahead? Don't look at the car accident ahead?
"Don't look..." The Taoist Master finally spoke out. His voice was hoarse and his lips were dry. "Please, don't look..."
"Taoist Priest, are you talking to us?" Luo Jiutian asked, "What do you want us not to see?"
The Taoist priest's body began to tremble. He nodded invisibly, then raised his right hand and pointed forward.
"Sure enough," Xia Hua said, "the Taoist priest doesn't want us to see this memory."
"But……"
"Don't look, you don't look," the Taoist priest suddenly turned his face and looked at Luo Jiutian, "Jiutian, please, don't."
Luo Jiutian paused with his mouth agape.
The expression on the Taoist priest's face was full of sadness.
What kind of memory is this?
Luo Jiutian has always presented everything about himself in front of them in an unreserved manner. Because of this, Luo Jiutian seems to have realized now that he does not understand the past of his partners at all.
Xia Hua was right, she had no painful memories at all.
But they are different.
Luo Jiutian gritted his teeth and turned his back decisively.
"Nine days?" Xia Hua asked.
"Sister Hua, this is Taoist Priest's memory. Since he doesn't want us to see it, we shouldn't look at it," Luo Jiutian said, "Let's all stop and let Taoist Priest face it by himself."
Lao Luo looked at his son's face, pursed his lips, and turned his back.
Xia Hua looked at the car that continued to emit black smoke and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you curious about Daochang's past?"
"If the Taoist priest wants me to know, of course I have to know, but if the Taoist priest doesn't want me to know, I'm not curious," Luo Jiutian said, "because they are my friends, I respect them and trust them."
Xia Hua stood there for a long time and showed a smile that didn't look like a smile.
She turned around silently.
The moment she turned around, a woman's figure jumped into her peripheral vision.
Xia Hua frowned, but didn't stop.
She turned her back to the Taoist Priest and that indescribable memory, recalling the figure just now.
That should be right...
There was a woman sitting in the car. The woman ignored the car accident that was happening around her and sat upright, watching.
