A gust of wind blew in from outside the cave. Mo Yan looked back, then withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the water surface that had gradually returned to calm.
Sheng Yue still held the sleeping little girl with one hand and looked at the pool.
Behind the stone screen, the younger brother of the twins put his head forward, but was immediately pulled back by his elder brother, and soon there was no movement.
The time when Yan Shiba entered the water was similar to the time when Yuan Ying did.
Of course, the "miracle" Mo Yan was waiting for did not appear, because the water surface fluctuated again, and Yan Shiba's head came out, exhaling loudly.
Mo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Sheng Yue, "Pull her up."
Sheng Yue then leaned over and put the little girl back on the bed, then took two steps forward and reached out to Yan Shiba.
After Yan Shiba's breathing calmed down, he glanced at Sheng Yue coldly, swam over, and climbed up on his own without holding his hand.
The water in the pool was not very cold. Yan Shiba was wet all over, with water dripping from her hair and clothes. She raised her hand to wipe her face, looked at Mo Yan and said two words, "No chance."
This is not a word from this world, but something Yan Shiba once heard Su Liang say. When he learned what it meant, he found it interesting and remembered it.
"You didn't see anything?" Mo Yan expressed doubt, "You need to try your best."
"People have a natural instinct to survive." Yan Shiba snorted coldly, "How about you hold my head and prevent me from coming out? If you drown me directly, what you want to see will be even less likely to happen."
Mo Yan looked at Yan Shiba's face with no warmth in his eyes, "You know what to do, you just don't want to. Don't let me force you."
Yan Shiba looked sarcastic, "Use that kid? Or use those people you captured in the magic weapon?"
Sheng Yue's eyes flashed slightly. He originally thought that Mo Yan would not only capture one person, but sure enough, there were others, and it sounded like they were not a minority.
"It's good that you know." Mo Yan did not refute, "Gu Ling may be on the island too. If I imprison him, you will learn to be obedient."
Yan Shiba frowned and fell silent.
"Tell me if you have found anything, or continue until you tell me something useful." Mo Yan's tone was cold.
Yan Shiba twisted the water on his sleeves, narrowed his eyes and said, "I did find something, but I can't hold it anymore."
Mo Yan's eyes narrowed, "What discovery?"
Yan Shiba asked back, "Don't you think you've been guarding this broken puddle for so many years and never went down there in person?"
"Answer my question!" Mo Yan said coldly.
Yan Shiba continued to wring the water from his clothes, "I saw a white light at the bottom of the pool."
Mo Yan looked delighted, "What kind of light? Is it a passage?"
Yan Shiba hummed softly, "You can't understand people? The white light is a line, not a passage. The light is so dazzling that I can't see anything below. When I tried to pass by, I couldn't breathe, so I floated up."
"If you go down again, go directly to the place with the white light!" Mo Yan said and grabbed Yan Shiba's arm again to push her down.
Yan Shiba shook it off, took two steps back, pressed his back against the stone wall, frowned and looked at Mo Yan, "Do you think you finally see hope? Can you let me take a breath, I will drown you.
Are you satisfied?"
From the look to the words between the two, they have nothing to do with "relatives" or "grandparents". Mo Yan's behavior has shown that he doesn't care about his granddaughter at all. When he brought "Su Liang" back, he couldn't wait to let her go.
Exploring the road, we can’t even wait until tomorrow.
"You can rest, and then go down after you have rested." Mo Yan didn't get angry, he sounded in a good mood, and his tone became gentler, "Are you hungry?"
Yan Shiba nodded politely, "I'm very hungry. I want to eat meat to replenish my strength."
Mo Yan looked at Sheng Yue, who nodded immediately, "I'll make arrangements right away." After saying that, he walked out of the cave.
Mo Yan took out a dry cloth from the space and gave it to Yan Shiba. Yan Shiba took it and sat down against the stone wall. He put the cloth on his head and covered his face, "I want to rest for a while and wait for the food to come."
Call me again."
"Okay." Mo Yan responded.
After a while, Mo Yan had a blanket in his hand. He walked over and covered Yan Shiba, and asked, "Do you want to go in and change clothes?"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Yan Shiba grabbed the blanket.
The next moment, Mo Yan's left hand grabbed Yan Shiba's arm, and she disappeared instantly.
Mo Yan sat cross-legged by the pool, looked at the water that had returned to calm, and let out a long sigh of relief.
…
After Sheng Yue left the cave, he walked towards the kitchen in the forbidden area.
Halfway through, a pine nut fell from a tree and hit me squarely on the head.
Sheng Yue looked around. At this time, Elder Song and Elder Pang should be guarding the front door and the back door. He flew up and climbed onto the tall ancient pine.
"Is it Mo Yan?" Gu Ling's voice sounded not far away.
Sheng Yue saw a dark shadow and replied, "He's back and he captured Su Liang."
Gu Ling's heart sank, "Only her?"
Sheng Yue shook his head, "I can confirm that without your daughter, there should be no apprentice of yours, but Su Liang is not the only one, there are other people trapped in his magic weapon. I only saw Su Liang being released."
"How is she?" Gu Ling asked.
Sheng Yue said, "We were in the cave just now. I thought you couldn't help but rush in. After all, that's Su Liang. You should be able to imagine what Mo Yan would do if he caught her."
"If I go in, I will be arrested." Gu Ling said coldly.
"It's wise for you not to go in." Sheng Yue said, "You wait here, I'll go to the kitchen to order the cooking first. Su Liang said I'm hungry, and I'll talk about it later." After saying that, he got down from the tree and confirmed again.
After there was no one around, he continued towards the kitchen.
Sheng Yue called the cook up and asked her to prepare a meal for one person as soon as possible. To make it good, there must be meat dishes. He would come back later to get it.
Then Sheng Yue left, not returning to the cave, but returned to the ancient pine tree again.
"Su Liang has been pushed into the pool once by Mo Yan." Sheng Yue said, "She came up and said she saw a white light. Mo Yan plans to let her eat before going down. What are you going to do?"
At this time, Gu Ling still didn't know that Su Liang captured by Mo Yan was fake. Because he had not discussed with Su Liang about arranging a substitute for her before leaving. It was her own idea that Yan Shiba would be Su Liang's substitute.
, it was not arranged by Su Liang.
Therefore, after hearing Sheng Yue's words, Gu Ling felt very uncomfortable, but he always reminded himself that the more times like this, the more he must not lose his mind. He must believe that Su Liang can save his life, and he cannot act rashly.
But the next moment, Sheng Yue said, "There's something I have to tell you. The Su Liang Mo Yan captured is fake."
Gu Ling really wanted to slap Sheng Yue to death! Since he said that, there must be evidence, but he deliberately kept it secret and didn't say it until now.
"Don't be angry, I just want to see if you would rush over to save her if it was really Su Liang. But it seems that you won't. It's for the best. If you act impulsively, it will not be good for us." Sheng Yue
explain.
"How do you know it's fake?" Gu Ling asked.
Sheng Yue's tone was calm, "I really can't be sure if it's someone else, but it's Yan Shiba. She has been in my hands for a long time, and I know her somewhat. Of course, she disguised herself very successfully, and her words and deeds were very...
Like Su Liang, she is completely unlike her original character, otherwise she would not be able to deceive Mo Yan, and she has not been discovered until now. But Mo Yan does not understand Su Liang, nor does he understand Yan Shiba. The evidence is that she got it from the water
When I came out, I saw a scar on her right arm. I cut it with my own hands. If Su Liang had the same scar on the same place on her body, I would have nothing to say."
Of course, Gu Ling knew best whether there were scars on Su Liang's body. Hearing what Sheng Yue said, he felt relieved. As for whether Su Liang foresaw that Mo Yan would catch her and let Yan Shiba be her substitute, or Yan Shiba
It's not certain why he decided to do this. Gu Ling tends to think it's the latter, which is more in line with Yan Shiba's character who always likes to pursue excitement and cares about Su Liang the most.
Yan Shiba came as Su Liang's substitute. Of course Gu Ling would not ignore her, but as long as it was not Su Liang, he would not be so passive. Because Su Liang is a real time traveler, if there really is a path to another world in that pool,
The road to the world, as Mo Yan wishes, can only be passed by those who travel through it. If Su Liang is forced to go down, the result will be unpredictable. Mo Yan hopes to see Su Liang disappear inside after entering, but that is something Gu Ling will never accept.
of.
Of course, regarding this matter, before they knew Mo Yan, Su Liang and Gu Ling had discussed whether it was possible to go back through time travel. They both agreed that it was impossible, and that one-way travel was already a mysterious and mysterious miracle.
But now, considering that Yuan Ying, the descendant of the time traveler, once saw the white light at the bottom of the pond, Gu Ling must consider all possible situations. After all, his supernatural powers and Su Liang's time traveling itself are beyond common sense and cognition.
. As for Yan Shiba's claim of seeing a white light, Gu Ling thought he must have lied to Mo Yan, because she knew Yuan Ying had seen it.
"It's Yan Shiba, so you won't save her tonight." Sheng Yue looked at Gu Ling and said, "That's right. She knows what she is here to do and will not die in the water. Mo Yan's hope lies in her
I won't let her die until I find out that she is not Su Liang. Now, can you tell me your plan? I think you must have a plan."
Something flew towards Sheng Yue, and he reached out to catch it. It was a small medicine bottle.
"There is a medicine in this. I will find a way to make Mo Yan take it tomorrow." Gu Ling said.
Sheng Yue opened the cork of the bottle and couldn't see clearly the medicine inside, "What is it?"
"True truth medicine." Gu Ling said.
Sheng Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, "After taking this medicine, can people tell the truth?"
"Yeah." Gu Ling responded.
"Su Liang made it? It is indeed a miracle doctor." Of course Sheng Yue understands the power of this medicine. When dealing with difficult enemies, you want them to tell you important things, but many times it is difficult to verify the authenticity of what the enemy says.
, if this medicine can ensure that what a person says cannot be false, the problem will be solved.
At the moment, both Sheng Yue and Gu Ling are most afraid of Mo Yan, and what makes it difficult for them to deal with it is his magic weapon - is it an object, or does it exist in his mind, whether it can change hands, and how to use it -
-Only by confirming these, can we truly let go and deal with Mo Yan, otherwise Gu Ling would be wary of even approaching him.
"Will he know what he said afterward?" Sheng Yue asked.
"No, but I will be unconscious for a while." Gu Ling said.
"In this case, once the drug is taken, I will be exposed, and if the space cannot be snatched away, then he will have hostages in his hands that we cannot save, and we still can't do anything to him." Sheng Yue sighed inaudibly.
"Are you opposed?" Gu Ling asked.
Sheng Yue shook his head, "Of course not. I agree with your plan. You must do something, otherwise the situation will only get worse. Even if the magic weapon cannot change hands, it will be sooner or later to break up with him and fight head-on. But
I’m not sure when I’ll have the opportunity to drug Mo Yan tomorrow. If you’re not there then, aren’t you afraid that the magic weapon will change hands and be snatched away by me?”
"If you can snatch it away, I can snatch it away too." Gu Ling's voice was light.
"That's fine, we all have a chance to give it a try." Sheng Yue nodded, "It's time for me to go. If there is news tomorrow, you don't need me to look for it, you will definitely show up."
"Look for an opportunity to release the child in the cave." Gu Ling said.
Sheng Yue shook his head, "Doing something like this at this time will arouse Mo Yan's suspicion."
"After taking the medicine," Gu Ling said, "I will take care of those two elders."
"You have the final say." After Sheng Yue finished speaking, he left the ancient pine tree and disappeared into the night.
Gu Ling did not leave. He waited for a while and saw Sheng Yue walking under the tree carrying a basket. Gu Ling followed secretly, keeping a safe distance. After watching Sheng Yue enter the cave, he was hiding somewhere outside the cave.
, did not leave, nor approached the cave entrance. He could not hear the movement inside, but if someone came out, he could see it.
…
Sheng Yue entered the cave and saw only ink rocks but not "Su Liang".
Mo Yan heard the sound and looked over, then changed his clothes, and Yan Shiba, whose hair was half dry, appeared not far from him.
"Doctor Su, let's eat." Sheng Yue took out the food, placed it on the small square table where he usually ate with his three children, and handed the chopsticks to Yan Shiba.
Without saying a word, Yan Shiba took it and started eating, not slowly, but very gracefully. This was something he had learned from Su Liang. Another reason why he imitated Su Liang at home was that Yan Shiba tried very hard to
She deceived Gu Xiaonuan, and desperately wanted to hear Gu Xiaonuan call her mother. Unfortunately, she worked extra hard and deceived many people in the family, but Gu Xiaonuan just wasn't fooled. Yan Shiba also found out the reason later, Ji Xiaoshu
Tell her - Gu Xiaonuan is very smart and knows that her own mother will not suddenly ask her to call her mother.
But Yan Shiba "floated" around Gu Xiaonuan, or suddenly appeared in front of her, and Gu Xiaonuan didn't call her mother, leaving Yan Shiba speechless. Ji Xiaoshu explained her confusion again - Yan Shiba looked at Gu Xiaonuan
Nuan's eyes were too doting, and Su Liang wouldn't do that.
While eating, Yan Shiba turned his head and glanced at the small bed not far away. There was a little girl about the same age as Gu Xiaonuan lying on it, covered with a small quilt, sleeping soundly.
Yan Shiba's eyes dimmed slightly, and she suddenly missed her children at home. This trip was really exciting, and it really helped Su Liang. Of course she would not regret it, even if she was injured or even lost her life, she would not regret it, she was just at home
Sometimes she felt bored, and she missed her so much when she was far away. Now that she has a family, she is not afraid of death, but she definitely doesn't want to die. She still wants to go back and continue to work hard to trick Gu Xiaonuan into calling her mother.
The way Yan Shiba looked at the child fell in the eyes of Mo Yan and Sheng Yue. Mo Yan naturally thought that "Su Liang" missed his daughter, while Sheng Yue thought that Yan Shiba's play was really good...
Yan Shiba ate half of the food brought by Sheng Yue. He put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and asked Mo Yan, "If I go down again and can't come back, and I really succeed in going back, don't you think this will be good for me?"
Is it too cruel? I couldn't take my child away and didn't even have the chance to say a proper goodbye to her."
It sounds like "Su Liang" said it after seeing the little girl in the cave and thinking about her daughter.
Mo Yan looked indifferent, "Do you want me to bring Nuannuan here too?"
Yan Shiba shook his head, "No. I want to go home. My home is here. If you want me to willingly find a way to travel through time, I simply can't do it."
Mo Yan was silent for a moment, "I know what you mean. But your home is not here. You have left a child for Gu Ling. They will accompany each other in the future, and they will live a good life without you. You
It’s time to return to the place where we truly belong. If you don’t cooperate and you are too far away, I won’t look for Nuan Nuan for the time being, but Gu Ling should be on the island. If I let him enter my space, I don’t have to do anything.
, you can let him starve to death inside, and no one can save him. Not to mention seeing you, he will never even see your children again."
Yan Shiba showed anger, but he calmed down after a while. He looked at Mo Yan and said coldly, "Let the children in the cave and the people in your space go first. I can't escape your control. I will listen."
Your words."
Mo Yan shook his head, "You know this is impossible. The premise for me to let them go is to catch Gu Ling or your friends. Are you sure you want to make things more complicated?"
Yan Shiba clenched his fist and then released it, "You already have a lot of hostages in your hands. There is no need to torture the children, right? You can keep the people in your space. Let the children in the cave go first and let them return to their parents."
This request is not too much. I will cooperate with you, so you should also show some sincerity. With children here, I am in a bad mood, and it will affect what you want me to do."
"Their parents have abandoned them and run away." Mo Yan said coldly.
Yan Shiba stared, "I don't believe it."
Mo Yan frowned, "Okay, as you wish. But that girl was really left behind. Sheng Yue, send all three children to the woman who stayed behind."
Sheng Yue replied respectfully, "Yes." After saying this, he walked to the stone screen behind the pool and brought out the two children who were just pretending to sleep because they were afraid.
Yan Shiba had never seen the twins before, and she didn't recognize them when she saw them. She didn't know if Sheng Yue was capable of causing trouble, but she felt that Mo Yan had hostages in his hands and there was no need to harm the children, so she insisted on doing so.
Sheng Yue picked up the little girl from the crib and walked out. The twins held hands and followed behind.
Yan Shiba watched them disappear from sight, "Let's wait until Sheng Yue comes back."
Mo Yan didn't say anything.
Sheng Yue sent all three children to Peng Wu seriously. Late at night, Peng Wu had already gone to bed, but he was tossing and turning because he was worried about his children. Suddenly he saw that the children were sent back and he was overjoyed.
Not only were there two children, Peng Wu now had an additional child. She knew that the child's parents had run away, and she felt very distressed. Before Sheng Yue could say anything, she promised to take good care of her.
Sheng Yue didn't say anything, put down the child and left.
…
When Sheng Yue returned to the cave, he saw Yan Shiba standing by the pool with the pillow on the small bed in his hand.
Mo Yan said coldly, "I have done what I promised you."
"Okay." Yan Shiba put down the small pillow with a cold face, "That's it for now, there's nothing more to say. I'll do what you asked me to do, but I don't know what the result will be, and it may not be the same next time.
Can encounter white light."
"You can try a few more times. Delaying time will not do you any good. If you want to see Gu Ling and reunite with him in my space, I have no objection." After Mo Yan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture.
"Please" gesture, "Go ahead."
Yan Shiba took a deep breath and dived into the water again.
