Chapter 160: The ancestors of the Bai family
The airport was bustling with people, and Bai Yicong pulled He Manzhou all the way forward.
"In Changchun. Bai Yinever minded He Manzhou's interruption, and even carefully explained his inferences and analysis, and continued to explain, "If nothing else, the story of the Dragon Maiden Temple corresponds to the second sentence of the ancient ballad. ”
"Broken faith, a return in desperation?"
"Yes, the broken belief may have something to do with the witch clan itself. After realizing that the Bai family's relict treasure was related to the secret of the immortality of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, I always tried to investigate something from those obscure clues. There are many doubts in these things, and the turning point is a hundred years ago, or you can understand it this way, it was something that happened within the Wu clan a hundred years ago that changed the situation that the witch goddess was destined to awaken, and brought a turn for the ancient legacy. ”
"What happened inside the Wu Clan?" He Manzhou thought about it according to Bai Yicong's words, relying on his own ingenuity, and quickly followed his logic, "Can I understand it this way, it is because of what happened inside the Wu Clan that the secrets about the ancient kingdom of Loulan have been circulated." If it weren't, we have no chance of preventing this tragedy. ”
"Yes, you're right. ”
Seeing Bai Yicong nodding, He Manzhou quickly felt a little subverted.
Originally, she regarded the treasure of the relict king as the source of all the mess, and it was precisely because everyone coveted the secret of immortality that she was greedy and pulled out so many troubles. And He Sheng was also dragged to Wucheng by Bai Yi back then, and started the investigation caused by the treasure of the relict king, in the simplest terms, He Manzhou once regarded the Bai family as the starting point of the disaster.
But now, the Treasure of the Relic King is not a starting point, but rather a turning point of bad luck.
Taking advantage of Bai Yicong's pause in tone, He Manzhou quickly sorted out the thoughts that flashed in his mind. The records in the codex left by his father, He Manzhou still remembers it vividly, He Sheng followed the coordinates of the two ancient paintings to find out those mysterious and mysterious reasons, at that time he wrote the words and sentences of the goddess's annotations were fate.
She remembered the most chilling passages in the codex.
"Everything is wrong, it's not something we should be looking into.
The goddess's suit itself is a curse, this is the devil who crawled out of hell, and will completely devour the current civilization, but now that we have come, there is no way back for us.
If you can go back alive......
Xiaozhou, you have to believe Dad, this is not my intention, but a fate that has to be surrendered. Those lineages are destined to awaken, and all you can do is submit to the gods and give your soul and life.
The goddess came into the world, which is a curse in itself. ”
........
At that time, He Manzhou couldn't understand the deep meaning.
Now that I think about it, the phrase "inheritance is destined to wake up" that He Sheng said may refer to the little princess in the flower soul, and the god who once destroyed the world in the ancient kingdom of Loulan - the goddess who brought countless disasters and bad luck.
He Manzhou originally thought that the crux of the matter was in the Bai family, and she even suspected that it was precisely because He Sheng was involved with the Bai family that she was cursed and suffered that unwarranted disaster, and finally left only an incredible codex, which was reduced to a situation where you can't see people in life and death.
I still remember that earlier, He Manzhou had just seen the diary, and all his thoughts were on the treasure of the relict king.
The incomprehensible doubts were one of the few clues she could grasp. He Manzhou was eager to know the secrets hidden behind the treasures of the Relic King, and wanted to find out why Lao He had to investigate these, Professor He, who had always lived a pure and proud life and did not take those worldly fame and fortune in his eyes, for what reason would he hold on to this secret of immortality.
But now that I think about it, it seems like the direction is completely wrong.
In fact, all this is not accidental, and what is scheduled to happen has been predestined much earlier.
Whether it is the impending disaster of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, or the revenge of the little princess who has fallen asleep. It is not so much that He Sheng was involved in the Bai family, but that only when he and Bai Yicong get together can it be possible to open the treasure of the relict king, promote the fulfillment of this fateful curse, and let everything end in the entangled fate.
As those shattered illusions became clearer and clearer, and the information that Bai Yicong gave became more and more profound, the things that He Manzhou couldn't think through finally began to connect, and the history of the ancient kingdom of Loulan was gradually restored.
"But, wait, I wonder what's wrong......."
After a brief silence, He Manzhou struggled to find a clue through the intricate threads.
"The treasure of the relict king, Bai Yicong, the problem lies in the treasure of the relict king you said. If I'm not mistaken, the things you talked about about the Wu clan were originally just within the clan. Why did such a hidden matter have anything to do with the Bai family? Or, since the clues of the treasure of the relict king were enough to affect the entire Wu clan, how could it spread to the Bai family?"
"What you wonder about is the crux of the problem. Bai Yicong hesitated for a few seconds, and then finally opened his mouth lightly, "I didn't tell you these things earlier, first, because the love didn't reach that point, I won't support it." The second is that the situation is not at a critical juncture, it doesn't matter if it makes you panic, and it doesn't hurt to say these words now - the reason why the secret of the treasure of the relict king will flow to the Bai family is because the ancestors of the Bai family were once involved in the Wu clan. ”
With that faint sigh, the rumors hidden in the years gradually became clear, and finally saw the light of day.
It goes back a hundred years ago, when the Black Saintess descended on the Witch Clan.
Tracing back in the context of history, the sacrifice of the Wu clan has lasted for thousands of years. This is the beginning of the hope of the Wu tribe, and it is also the devastating blow when the disaster comes, from the time when the high priest of the ancient kingdom of Loulan tried to cast the Tower of Babel, summoned the mirage with the power of the gods, and obtained eternal life in the illusion, this strange sacrifice with evil power has been going on.
But everything must be reversed, which is an almost immutable law.
Whether it is an era of development and prosperity, or a glorious dynasty, it is inevitable to avoid the process of prosperity and decline after the passage of time, not to mention the branch left before the demise of Gu Loulan, the Wu clan that should not exist in the world. Therefore, with the advent of the Black Witch, the entire Wu Clan has undergone earth-shaking changes.
No one can suppress the yearning for love and freedom, the Black Saintess brings transformation and subversion, in fact, digging deeper, the people of the Wu clan have already planted such seeds in their hearts. It is precisely because of the longing that it will be easily moved, even if it is a painful price, it is necessary to pursue a life beyond fate.
And many of the Black Saintess's behaviors are also lacking in some kind of powerful thrust.
In the end, it is just out of love.
"That'...... The Black Witch is bound to break away from the Wu Clan because of the ancestors of the Bai family, which caused the Wu Clan to be divided, and the "Goddess's Battle Suit" has also been scattered everywhere because of this?"
"Maybe it is, or maybe not, no one can say these things clearly. ”
Bai Yicong's gaze lightly swept over He Manzhou's cheeks, and explained patiently.
"No one can explain the process clearly, the dead can't speak, and the ancestors of the Bai family have not left too many records. Even the ancient ballad that hid the secret of the "goddess's battle suit" was carefully hidden, presumably the ancestor never thought of letting the descendants of the Bai family explore these histories, as for the reason, it is probably that he is also running away......"
After a great change in the Wu Clan, the Black Saintess finally completed her mission.
But everything has a price, and her price is to overdraw her own life.
The so-called white-headed old man raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows is just a joke, the Black Saintess tried to lead the clansmen to break through the shackles, and finally broke the deadlock of the Wu clan, but the clansmen did not get completely relieved because of this, many things were not achieved overnight, she paid so much price, it was just a brave enough attempt.
After completing the mission, there was not much time left for her and the ancestors of the Bai family.
No matter how great love is, it can't resist birth, old age, sickness and death, but it is infinitely beautified in the face of responsibility, fate and forced life and death.
As for the truth of those love-hate entanglements, it is impossible to distinguish right from wrong for a long time.
Speaking of this, Bai Yicong suddenly paused his tone, turned his head and asked.
"Do you know what the Bai family's totem is?"
"What is it?" He Manzhou asked.
"Lotus. ”
Bai Yicong's voice was very flat, he couldn't hear too much emotion, he was just stating the facts.
"The Witch Clan will give the twelve noble concubines a unique flower tattoo, which represents a noble status symbol. One of the rarest is the lotus totem, which only girls who have been chosen as saints are eligible to receive such totems. So later, the family totem of the Bai family became a lotus, which was also known to the heads of the previous generations and was one of the few secrets about the Loulan Wu clan. ”
At a deeper level, there is no need for Bai Yi to say much, but He Manzhou is blessed to use his brain.
"Wait, Bai Yicong, I've only come back to my senses now. Isn't that Falang carved pocket watch at auction a lotus carved pattern? Do you know that it is the key to open the shrine in the mirage, and it is also because of the totem on it?"
Bai Yicong gave He Manzhou an answer with a silent acquiescence, and added unhurriedly.
"In the Wu clan, there are two kinds of flower totems, one is the budding ink lotus, and the other is the white lotus that blooms unbridledly, which corresponds to the black saint and the white saint of the Wu clan respectively, and the totem of the Bai family is the ink lotus. And the girl of the Wu clan that the head of the Bai family met was the black saint of the Wu clan who had rarely appeared for thousands of years, and it was precisely because of this marriage that the secret of the Wu clan was known by the Bai family, and there were many entanglements about the treasures of the bereaved king that had been hidden within the Bai family for generations. ”
"Is it because the Black Saints want to leave some leeway for the Witches?"
"Maybe the Black Saintess didn't want to pass on these things from the beginning......
Bai Yi sighed lowly, tracing this history, it was difficult for him to distinguish the general situation.
"If you wanted to leave room for it, you probably wouldn't have started the war in such a decisive way in the first place. And when everything is a foregone conclusion, the safest way to deal with the aftermath is, of course, to bury all the secrets in the grave. In other words, without the key to cracking the "goddess's suit", it must be that one day the little princess of Loulan will reappear in the world, and it will be difficult to summon the goddess and start her own revenge. At that time, the way to end all this was very simple, just kill the ancestor of the Bai family. ”
He Manzhou heard Bai Yicong's voice, and was silent for a moment before sighing.
"But in the end, it was probably the Black Saintess who couldn't bear it. ”
So, why did the ancestors of the Bai family leave these things that are enough to destroy the world?
He didn't follow his lover's wishes and let the secrets of the Wu Clan be completely sealed, whether he had tried to summon his lover through the mirage, or whether he was greedy and coveted the illusory eternal life, no one must have been able to give an accurate answer.
These analyses turned and turned on the tip of Bai Yicong's tongue, and in the end he did not say any more.
In fact, in the face of love, who can be sober enough?
