Chapter 162: Competition
Regarding this shocking news, Bai Yicong behaved calmly.
Many things are destined to happen, just like the curse passed down by the Wu clan, or the awakening of the little princess of Loulan, these things can't be stopped, after all, everyone is in a puzzle, and they can't even see the road ahead. No one can say for sure whether he is a pawn in this puzzle or a game-breaker.
A hundred years ago, the confrontation between the Black Saintess and the entire Wu Clan has continued to the present, and going back further, the hatred between the little princess of Loulan and the evil god and goddess has not stopped for thousands of years. These hidden disasters have been passed down to this day, and no one wants to see the evil god of destruction return to the world, just as no one can bear the anger of the little princess who has suppressed for thousands of years.
With the Black Saintess breaking the pattern of the Wu Clan, everything finally took a turn for the better.
The scales that were originally unilaterally tilted in favor of the little princess now turned into a half-chance for each to hold half, and when the Wu people were no longer loyal to the gods, the saint and the twelve concubines had different hearts, which was the deepest and most deadly betrayal. Even if the little princess Loulan wakes up again, there is no way to directly get the "goddess's suit" and completely stabilize the situation.
In this circumventive situation, the little princess has actually lost the opportunity.
As a result, this prophecy of the destruction of the world became a competition between the Bai family and the little princess of Loulan. The treasure of the relict king is a crucial clue, and the way to crack the ancient ballad is in Bai Yicong's heart, and who can seize the initiative depends on whose hands the "goddess's suit" finally falls into.
"If the little princess Loulan completely wakes up, what impact will it have on the current situation?"
I don't know how long she was silent, He Manzhou finally bit her lower lip and whispered, she regained her calm from the shock of a moment, and couldn't help but think about the current grim situation.
"You said it, the little princess wants to summon the evil god, and now she is in the dark, in addition to these obscure clues, we haven't even figured out what happened in the ancient country of Loulan back then, can we still stop her?"
Bai Yicong heard the hesitation in He Manzhou's tone, and there was a hint of imperceptible tremor at the end of her words. Girls usually don't hide their thoughts, she is always so straightforward, and the city government is not deep enough, whether it is love or fear, it is easy for others to see, as long as you use a little brain, you can see through what He Manzhou is thinking.
So Bai Yi never answered anything, just held her hand tighter.
"That's why I said we don't have much time left. That's not the trickiest thing, though. ”
"What, is there anything more troublesome?" He Manzhou only felt that the heavy news was one after another, and her temples couldn't help but jump and hurt, "I said Bai Yicong, you are too shocking, can you still say a little good news, if you continue to say this, I almost feel that we have no chance of winning." ”
Bai Yicong's gaze swept lightly over He Manzhou's cheeks, and he only patted the back of her hand lightly on the back of the girl's dejected look, which could be regarded as silent comfort.
He Manzhou didn't expect Bai Yicong to say anything touching from such a number one straight man. For this kind of person who only says one point but can do seven or eight points, loves ten points in his heart, and only shows three points, many delicate feelings have to be tasted from the deep meaning that he does not want to say, and he can still give a little comfort is already very promising, what else can Boss Bai ask for?
Not to mention He Manzhou's biggest advantage is that she is extremely adaptable, and after a short period of loss, she quickly brought her optimistic personality to the extreme. Adhering to the attitude that no one wants to get into trouble, but if it does, she won't be afraid of things, Miss He was silent for a few seconds, and immediately opened her mouth quite heartily.
"Okay, anyway, the situation is so bad that it can be worse, how bad can it be? You say, I can bear it, even if you tell me now that I have to face the god of the witch clan's fate immediately, I can deal with it calmly. ”
Bai Yicong bowed his head slightly, and continued very persuasively.
"What I'm most worried about is not the little princess Loulan, but you. ”
He Manzhou: "........ Is it me?"
Hearing this, He Manzhou raised his eyebrows in great surprise.
She said in her heart that it was really early for her to "bear it", and in the field that was shocking, Bai Yicong was really speechless.
"A few days ago, the Tower of Babel in Chaohui Mountain, the temple summoned from the mirage, and the tomb where the goddess was buried......." Bai Yicong considered his tone and said unhurriedly, "I have investigated these things for many years, and there has not been much progress, or in other words, if there is really substantial progress, He Sheng and I will not find out in the end." ”
"Then why...... How did it go so smoothly this time?" He Manzhou immediately asked.
"The destination of the two trips did not change, and the reason why it went so smoothly was naturally a variable. ”
Miss He has never been a stupid person, and Bai Yicong said this, and she quickly realized the answer.
"The only variable is me, that's why you say, in fact, the key to the problem is mine?"
"That's right," Bai Yi never shied away from answering bluntly, "This is by far the most reasonable explanation." ”
As this sentence fell, there was a longer silence, and the conversation at the moment was too informative, so that He Manzhou didn't come back for a long time.
In all fairness, she had never thought that the Wu Clan would have the so-called Black Saintess and White Saintesses, and it had also caused the entire clan to split. didn't expect that he just wanted to investigate his father's disappearance, but he was actually involved in the shocking secret of the ancient country of Loulan, and he had to be a savior to some extent.
Like now—
He Manzhou clearly hadn't recovered from the shocking discovery that his biological mother was actually the Black Saintess of the Wu Clan, and he actually encountered a new thunderbolt on a sunny day.
It turns out that he is not exempt from vulgarity, and he is completely involved in it.
Countless times before, He Manzhou hoped that Bai Yicong could be absolutely honest with her and make sure that there were no secrets between them. But when Bai Yicong really told her everything, Miss He only felt that these things were too subversive, and many considerations in her heart were like poisonous snakes entrenched in her heart, consuming little by little what little reason she had left.
So much so that there were only four big words left in He Manzhou's heart.
Worse.
But these thoughts didn't linger in He Manzhou's mind for too long, and they dispersed with a deep and beautiful voice. It was a sentence that Bai Yi was sure of every word, and it seemed to be a matter of course.
"But it's okay, don't be afraid, I'll protect you. ”
He Manzhou: "......."
When he spoke, Bai Yicong's hand holding He Manzhou tightened slightly. With a faint warmth in his palm, it spread all the way along his fingertips, and when He Manzhou raised his head, it just hit the bottom of his eyes, so the care and determination revealed by his usual cold gaze fell into He Manzhou's heart.
The situation cannot be changed, and what can be done now is to find the cause of the matter and end everything at the most critical moment.
These words don't have to be said in vain, He Manzhou can also understand them.
So she raised her head slightly, looked at the sharp and handsome side face of the man next to her, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart for a while.
From Z City to Wucheng, from Zhaohui Mountain to Tibetan Snow Mountain, counting the way through, she and Bai Yicong have experienced too many things, at first they were on guard against each other, both in cooperation and in weighing, many times they said half of the words and left half of them, and neither of them was willing to deliver more things to the other party.
And now, they are not hesitant to tell their last secrets.
Today, after experiencing enough things, He Manzhou finally realized that the tacit understanding that she and Bai Yicong had cultivated without much words. This is not only dependence or trust, but also the courage to be willing to give back in the moment of life and death, and put the safety of the other party before everything, which is enough firmness and honesty under a certain moment.
Even if you don't have the sweetness all the time, you can confirm that you are loved.
Isn't the other party always there, trusting and being favored, the best proof of love?
He Manzhou has never shied away from Bai Yi, and Bai Yicong has also delivered the same degree of trust, in the case of suspicion of her, or even concern, Bai Yicong can say these words calmly, and protect her sincerely, instead of hiding and considering something. Since both of them have shown enough sincerity, what else can be hidden.
Thinking like this, He Manzhou finally opened his mouth after thinking about it and told the most obscure secrets.
"Bai Yicong, I haven't thought about what you said. ”
"What have you thought about?"
"I've thought about it, could those things about the Wu Clan actually have something to do with me in essence...... I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I couldn't find any clues until I heard what you just said, and my mother's matter, that I finally figured out a little bit of a clue. If my mother were the Black Saints, wouldn't it be possible to transfer those memories of the Witch Clan to me, similar to ....... I think how to put it, for example, I can witness a certain part of the history of the Wu Clan?"
He Manzhou worked hard to organize his language, trying his best to make his words coherent and coherent. Even when he says something unbelievable, he doesn't act like a delirious psychopath.
Bai Yicong turned his head slightly, didn't rush to ask anything, just looked at He Manzhou quietly.
"After Lao He's disappearance, I often dreamed of strange things, first about the temple, the desert, the sacrifices, then the terrible rainy night, the eerie mountain road, and the strange totems in the temple. ”
"I know, you've told me these things. Bai Yicong thought about He Manzhou's words, and quickly responded, "Before going to Zhaohui Mountain, didn't we communicate about this? I didn't doubt the authenticity of your dream, and even the content of it gave me a lot of inspiration, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find the coordinates smoothly." ”
"But that's not all...... If I said that I had met the little princess of Loulan, would you believe it?"
"Little Princess Loulan?"
Hearing this, Bai Yicong's face finally changed a little, and He Manzhou just nodded cautiously.
"Yes, it's not just the little princess of Loulan, I also saw the illusion in Chaohui Mountain. ”
