Volume 6: Summer Chapter 71 Borrowing Money

Tang Butian followed behind Jiang You.

Jiang You was not walking fast.

He was fat in his belly, and didn't look bloated from behind. Perhaps because he had been on a diet for a while, the muscles on his calves were still quite clear.

The water surface suddenly became agitated.

Tang Butian looked ahead and saw countless water droplets jumping out from the river surface and flying into the sky.

A woman is reflected in each light golden drop of water.

She lowered her head, clasped her hands in front of her chest, her skirt fluttered in the wind, and her long hair spread out in all directions.

Guan Qingtong turned her head and glanced in the direction of Jiang You and Tang Butian.

The water droplets were still.

His gaze penetrated the bead curtain formed by layers of fine water droplets and swept across the faces of Jiang You and Tang Butian as if it were real.

Jiang You stopped.

Guan Qingtong lowered her head slowly.

The water droplets moved along certain trajectories, and strings of ancient and mysterious symbols twisted and flickered on the bead curtain.

Tang Butian asked, "What is she doing?"

Jiang You said: "Tracing back the cause and effect, probably."

Muffled thunder rolled in from afar.

White-hot lightning stroked the sky and the surface of the river.

"Boyang has done it." Jiang You said.

Guan Qingtong's body trembled a few times and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

The river is rushing.

A shadow was cast over Jiang You and Tang Butian's bodies.

Tang Butian looked up and saw the branches of the camphor tree growing wildly, stabbing towards the lightning.

"The energy carried by the thunderbolt is not that much. After the camphor tree absorbed the core, it can almost withstand it. However..."

"What?"

Jiang You said: "Close your eyes."

Tang Butian closed his eyes.

It's dark.

Jiang You grabbed her knife-holding hand.

A spot of light appeared in the darkness, then two, three... The spots of light rotated and arranged according to the flow of the law, and stable structures were gradually formed and connected.

Thunder and fire fell.

The link is broken.

Then, she saw a point of lightning explode in front of her eyes, spread out, and split into its original structure, from brilliance to nothingness.

His fingers gripped the handle of the knife.

A dark light floated on the blade.

Jiang You asked: "Did you see it?"

"Um."

"Go ahead."

…

Jiujiu jumped onto the back of Liu Boyang's hand.

Liu Boyang touched the fur on Jiujiu's body. Just as he was about to speak, a bolt of lightning struck from a distance.

He dodged to the side in panic.

The sky was illuminated with snow-white light.

The ground is cracked.

Liu Boyang stumbled a few steps while holding Jiujiu.

The scenery around me began to melt away.

He saw tree branches that covered half the sky, and a man standing on the tip of a swaying branch, holding a wooden scimitar in his hand and swinging it towards the lightning.

…

Jiang You stood alone in the river for a while.

A leaf burned by lightning fell down. He reached out and grabbed it, put it under his nose and smelled it, then threw it into the river.

The leaves floated in the river.

Jiang You took a few quick steps forward, passed through the bead curtain, and walked in front of Guan Qingtong.

Guan Qing stared at Tang Butian who was jumping on the branches to avoid the lightning.

"Let a girl rush to the front and fight and kill," Guan Qingtong turned her head to look at Jiang You, "but you hide behind, is this okay?"

Jiang You said calmly, "I am a civilian and I make a living by talking."

Guan Qingtong smiled, "Really?"

"And I love watching pretty girls fighting big devils."

Guan Qingtong asked: "Who is the big devil?"

"The ugliest one is the big devil."

Guan Qingtong didn't ask any more questions. She said, "During dinner, your little follower said that I was obsessed. He was wrong."

"Is it?"

"Old Sang doesn't have a short life span," she looked at Jiang You, her face was a little pale, her eyes were full of bloodshot, "He doesn't have a short life span, do you believe it?"

"I believe it."

"No, you don't."

"Whatever you think."

Guan Qingtong lowered her eyes and said, "My talent is better than my brother's. He can calculate the whereabouts of God, but I can't calculate the life and death of my husband."

Jiang You turned around, looked at the characters on the bead curtain, and walked slowly around the inside of the bead curtain.

Guan Qingtong said: "Some force is interfering with me."

Jiang You walked behind Guan Qingtong. He reached out and picked up a water droplet and looked at it in front of his eyes. "There is no interference here. You are afraid."

Guan Qingtong was silent.

After a long time, a low and hoarse voice came out of her throat, and she said: "Yes, I hesitated."

Jiang You said : "You have wasted a lot of energy. You don't have the energy to calculate anymore."

The bead curtain slowly began to rotate.

"What are you doing?" Guan Qingtong turned around suddenly.

Drops of water floated up from Jiang You's palm.

She looked at Jiang You's face, at his eyes behind the lenses.

Her expression and her body froze.

Jiang You pressed his left palm on her forehead.

He waved his right hand towards the bead curtain, and the beads on the bead curtain began to rotate rapidly, and the images in the beads kept changing.

Press down with your right hand.

The bead curtain was still.

Jiang You pushed his glasses and took the bead that was suspended in the air in his hand again.

Countless images flashed through the beads.

Jiang You said: "Retrace the cause and effect."

The image in the bead flowed backwards, and in the end, it turned into a ball of black mist twisting in the bead.

Jiang You took his left hand away from Guan Qingtong's forehead .

The bead curtain slowly turned again.

The river is surging.

Thunder roared.

Guan Qingtong opened her eyes and saw water droplets floating from Jiang You's palm. She heard Jiang You's voice, "The law will be established. Guan Qingtong, if you miss this opportunity, you may never know the truth."

"I……"

Jiang You looked into Guan Qingtong's eyes and said, "You can only borrow a little of the power here, but I can lend you all of it."

Guan Qingtong looked at him defensively: "What are you going to do?"

"For charity."

Guan Qingtong felt her body trembling.

"Did you guess what it was?"

"I……"

Jiang You took a step forward and put his hand on Guan Qingtong's shoulder . "You are already standing here, aren't you?"

Guan Qingtong looked at Jiang You with gentle eyes.

She closed her eyes, then opened them a few seconds later, her expression determined.

She said, "Please lend it to me."

"good."

After Jiang You's voice fell, she felt like a veil was broken in front of her eyes.

The spiritual energy in the body that was almost dried up suddenly filled up.

She began to tell fortunes.

The hexagrams on the bead curtain change.

…

Chirp moved.

Liu Boyang lowered his head, and then he saw Jiujiu flapping its wings and flying into the sky.

A bolt of lightning struck.

The branches turned into black and gray in the lightning and fell down. Tang Butian, who lost the protection of the branches, was shrouded in the lightning.

She closed her eyes and concentrated all her attention on the wooden sword.

She was waiting, waiting for that tiny glimmer of light to appear in the darkness.

The Chirp flew through the gaps between the branches, circled around the lightning, and then crashed straight into it.

I see.

Tang Butian grasped the hilt of the knife with both hands and chopped it down.

Cut it off.

Liu Boyang looked at the place where the lightning disappeared. Tang Butian and Jiujiu were gone.

He stumbled forward, shouting as he ran: "Section Chief Tang! Chirp!"

Suddenly, he tripped and fell to the ground.

The water level dropped, and the roots of the camphor trees entangled and circling at the bottom of the river began to curl up and retreat.

"Chief Tang, chirp... Jiang You..." He got up in a panic and looked around for Jiang You, "Jiang You, where are you?"

Chirp.
