Chapter 129 Where is 77?
Looking at Bai Zhu's mysterious yet confident smile, and considering the rumors circulating in the shadows of Liyue Harbor that Bai Zhu was researching the elixir of immortality, Gu Chen pondered:
"Mr. Bai, your research direction couldn't be... Qiqi, right?"
Bai Zhu was a little surprised, it was obvious that what he said came true.
However, considering the identity of the person in front of him, he smiled with relief:
"Yes, my research direction is exactly Qiqi."
Gu Chen's tone was a little embarrassed:
"But Qiqi's condition doesn't qualify as being alive."
Bai Zhu nodded deeply:
"I understand. What I need is Qiqi's state between life and death."
Seeing Bai Zhu's confidence, and even a hint of fanaticism in his eyes, Gu Chen felt even more troubled.
After struggling for a while, he could not help but say:
“You researchers are really…
Mr. Bai, don't blame me for speaking the truth in advance.
If you did something bad to Qiqi, or if you conducted some inhumane research and went down the same path as Dr.
I won’t let you go.”
Hearing this, Bai Zhu was stunned at first, then he laughed at himself:
"Lord Gou Chenxing, I...
Well, it's normal for you to have concerns. The people in the General Affairs Department share the same concerns as you, so I understand."
After laughing at himself, Bai Zhu's expression turned serious. He solemnly promised:
"Don't worry, I have my own moral principles and will never do anything inappropriate or conduct inappropriate research."
Nodding, Gu Chen was still relatively relieved about Bai Shu:
"That's good."
Looking at Bai Zhu's sincere face, Gu Chen suddenly realized and patted his head:
"Ah, Mr. Bai is a skilled doctor with a kind heart. He is willing to sacrifice his own life to save his patients.
With this kind of character and moral integrity, I don't think he is someone who would do that kind of thing.
I am judging others by my own standards."
Bai Zhu smiled and waved his hand:
"No, you're just being cautious."
Before they knew it, the two grown men started blowing each other off.
While they were praising each other, Paimon next to them seemed a little dissatisfied.
It’s this feeling again, this feeling of being excluded from the topic again. I don’t know how many times this has happened!
Paimon was a little annoyed. She stomped her feet in the air angrily:
"Wait, wait, wait! I don't understand what you're talking about!
What research? What is the Seven Sevens?
What he is researching is Mr. Bai’s secret, so I’m not curious.
But who is Qiqi?"
Turning his head to look at Paimeng, Gu Chen finally realized that he had not had time to tell Paimeng about Qiqi.
So he smiled apologetically and explained to Paimon:
"It's like this. Qiqi is a herbalist taken in by Mr. Bai. She's a cute little zombie."
"Eh!? Zombies!?"
Paimon was startled:
"I've heard of zombies, but can zombies be described as cute?"
Gu Chen shrugged:
“Of course, that’s Paimon you haven’t seen.
When you meet Qiqi, you will find that Qiqi is really cute.
Ah, wait, Qiqi being cute isn’t the point.
The point is, Qiqi’s origin…”
When he said this, Gu Chen seemed to be in a daze. He looked at Bai Zhu and Chang Sheng:
"By the way, you two don't know Qiqi's origins, right?"
The man and the snake shook their heads at the same time, and Changsheng answered directly:
"have no idea.
When Bai Zhu took Qiqi in, Qiqi's memory was much worse than it is now.
She doesn't even know where she came from, so how can we know Qiqi's origins?"
Bai Zhu now showed an expectant look:
"It seems that Lord Gou Chenxing knows Qiqi's origins. Can you help me solve this mystery?"
When Bai Zhu asked this question, Gu Chen kept looking at Bai Zhu calmly.
He discovered that in addition to curiosity and inquiry in Bai Zhu's eyes, there was also a lot of concern for Qiqi.
After discovering this, Gu Chen felt much more at ease about Bai Zhu.
There was once a saying that Baizhu was just using Qiqi and had ulterior motives and had no feelings for her.
Now it seems that it is a complete conflict between the old settings and the new settings. To put it bluntly, Lao Mi is just eating the book!
Maybe Bai Zhu did want to learn some secrets from Qiqi, but Bai Zhu's concern for Qiqi was definitely not fake.
That's enough, that's enough.
After the above thoughts turned over in Gu Chen's mind, he immediately said:
"Of course I can tell you, this is not a secret that must be kept.
Oh, it’s enough for our own people to know this, but it still needs to be kept secret from outsiders.
Speaking of Qiqi's origins, it's truly tragic and lamentable, dating back to the great war between immortals and demons in Liyue..."
As Gu Chen told the story, Paimeng, Baishu and Changsheng learned a lot about Qiqi's origins.
Just as Gu Chen said, Qiqi's origin and experience were truly tragic.
After hearing this, the two men and the snake felt dejected.
Paimon was crying and in a bad mood:
"Wow... Qiqi, Qiqi is so pitiful..."
Changsheng shook his head and commented:
“Alas… He was actually near death during the Great War between Immortals and Demons, and when he was on the verge of death, he awakened the Eye of God.
This desire to survive is truly moving.”
Bai Zhu took off his glasses and sighed:
"The desire to survive...
Thanks to the immortals for their timely rescue.
However, for some unknown reason, the immortals failed to bring Qiqi back to life, but instead turned Qiqi into a zombie.
The principle behind this..."
"Cough cough..."
Gu Chen next to him coughed twice to remind Bai Zhu.
Bai Zhu reacted, put on his glasses and smiled apologetically:
"Sorry, sorry.
Only after learning about these situations did my previous guesses become confirmed.
I have guessed before that the reason why Qiqi is in this state may be due to the immortal factor, and Qiqi may have received the favor of the immortal.
Now it seems that it is indeed the case. "
Hearing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart:
More than that?
Qiqi's real name is the True Lord who saves the suffering and saves the misfortunes, and the boy who brings the dead back to life.
The legitimacy of the Three-Eyed and Five-Manifested Immortal is recognized by other immortals.
In other words, Qiqi is an immortal!
After thinking about it, Gu Chen decided not to say out loud what he was thinking. After all, Qiqi herself didn't know that she was an immortal.
After muttering inwardly, Gu Chen couldn't help but look at Bai Zhu:
"By the way, speaking of Qiqi...
This time I visited Bubulu just to look for Qiqi. I wonder where Qiqi is?"
Hearing Gu Chen's intentions now, Bai Zhu came back to his senses and apologized:
"I'm sorry, I just realized you were here to see Qiqi, and I wasted Master Gou Chenxing's time.
but……"
Bai Zhu looked a little embarrassed:
"To be honest, Qiqi went out to collect herbs and hasn't come back for five days."
Gu Chen was somewhat concerned:
"Five days? That sounds like a long time."
Changsheng also nodded in agreement:
"That's right. We estimate that Qiqi might have gotten stuck on a mountain while collecting herbs."
