Chapter 166: Words from the Heart
Bai Yicong's gaze was profound, and his cold voice was faint.
Although he did not directly mention that the princess in the story was the little princess of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, combined with the codex left by the ancestors of the Bai family, as well as those scattered evidence, everything is not difficult to guess. It was precisely because of this story that I began to investigate whether my grandfather's words had a deep meaning. ”
He Manzhou thought about Bai Yicong's words a little, and quickly grasped the point.
"So it was after listening to these stories that you knew the specific location of the treasure of the relict king, and deduced that the clues should be combined with that ancient ballad to find?"
You can understand it this way, but it is not accurate enough. ”
As Bai Yicong lowered his eyes slightly, a small shadow cast by his long eyelashes obscured the look under his eyes, so many secretive emotions were concealed, and it seemed impossible to see through.
"To be more precise, that ancient ballad hides secrets about the ancient kingdom of Loulan. Further inference, the ancient ballad is not the content left by the Black Saintess a hundred years ago, but the earliest sacrificial secrets that once belonged to the Loulan Wu Clan, but those stories that do not distinguish between truth and falsehood are from the mouth of the Black Saintess, or rather, the heartfelt words of the ancestors of the Bai family after several figures. Therefore, the true meaning of this ancient ballad has been buried too deeply, and the stories told by grandpa are the only way to crack it. ”
"Why do you say it is a heartfelt word?" He Manzhou asked.
"Didn't I say it a long time ago, the Black Saintess just wants the secret of the Wu Clan to be completely buried, and she has done so much to prevent the gods from coming into the world, how can she deliberately leave clues to guide future generations to recollect the "Goddess's Battle Suit"?"
He Manzhou was really speechless this time, the clearer many things were, the more frightening it was.
On the other hand, Bai also from that side, when he continued to search for cause and effect along the vein of the mystery, he also continued to make more profound discoveries.
The ancestors of the past authorities may not feel that there is anything wrong when making a decision, but just greed or intolerance at the thought of it. They only want to leave a little bit of life, so those details are hidden so deep that they can't even be called guidance, as if such a dark clue has been deciphered or not, it has become the fate of the younger generations.
It is better to say that it is to shirk responsibility, or to say that it is to leave room for it.
After all, it has been involved to the present.
The ancient ballad records the secrets of the Wu clan, which is specially used for sacrifices. And the story told by the head of the Bai family is a clue deliberately left by combining the history told by the black witch. These two complement each other in order to completely solve the mystery about the "goddess's suit".
But on the other hand, the two should not coexist at all.
The Black Saintess had tried everything to lock the secret of the Witch Clan, so why would she let the box full of calamity be opened again because of those uncontrollable desires?
Perhaps at that time, the ancestors of the Bai family passed down the secret that the Black Saintess told him, which was wrong. It's best to bury what should have rotted in the stomach until it's taken to the grave, but it's all complicated by the small deviation in the moment when the decision is made.
The ancestors of the Bai family didn't want the secret of the ancient kingdom of Loulan to die out from now on, no matter what kind of thoughts they had at the beginning, they eventually left a confusing clue. He probably didn't expect the situation to deteriorate to this extent at that time, after all, no matter how transparent it is, they are nothing more than mortals trapped in the mire, who can foresee the future thoroughly?
Then there is the power struggle of the Bai family for a hundred years, and the position of the head of the Bai family has become a hot potato after the blessing of the treasure of the bereaved king. Human nature is the most untestable, even the head of the Bai family is not immune to vulgarity, and no matter how hidden and obscure those clues are, they have gradually become clear under the exploration of generation after generation.
Such conflicts reached their peak two decades ago.
At that time, the Bai family was about to come in a storm, and because of this, there was a fault line between the heads of the family. Bai Yicong's grandfather would rather tell the young Bai Yicong the ancient ballads and stories together, rather than choose his eldest son and eldest grandson, what is he afraid of, and what is he afraid of?
There are no answers to these questions, and all the inability to see through them has become Bai Yicong's doubts from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps, the real problem actually lies in the head of the family of this generation.
But this is just speculation, and no evidence can be found.
However, it is quite intuitive that where is there an impermeable wall in this world, many things are done, just like the sky does not know, you don't know me, and you can't change the truth. What's more, driven by desire, it is enough to stimulate infinite possibilities, and the worst side of human nature has also been excavated.
Over the past hundred years, the situation faced by the Bai family cannot be said to be difficult. Presumably, the ancestors of the Bai family back then could not have guessed that the descendants of the family would find out the clues about the treasure of the relict king to this extent, and even because of those uncontrollable greed, the foundation of the entire family was shaken.
The Treasure of the Relic King is like a landmine that cannot be triggered, whether it is real or illusory, it is enough to make people greedy and insufficient. The treasure of Loulan, the secret of immortality, what a temptation this is, the drag of a hundred years has almost crushed the Bai family.
In this case, the slightest turmoil is enough to be on the verge of collapse.
And the little princess Loulan leaked the news about the treasure of the relict king to the other three veins of the Bai family, which made the power struggle to a fever pitch and completely disturbed the pool of water in the Bai family. It is precisely this impasse that Bai Yicong is facing.
Therefore, the secret of the ancient kingdom of Loulan is loose after all.
But now, there is no point in delving into right and wrong, what has happened has happened, and the final battle is inevitable, in order to prevent the evil god from descending, they have stood on the opposite side of the little princess of Loulan, and there is no turning back from the bow.
Take 10,000 steps back, is the Black Saintess right, and the little princess Loulan is wrong?
There is no answer to all this, and there can be no answer.
........
It took He Manzhou a few seconds to digest these emotions, and then he pulled the topic back again.
"Think about it, the second sentence of the ancient rhyme - "broken faith, return in a desperate situation", corresponds to the dragon ball hidden in the lake, and the content of the third sentence "the whisper of the witch, the curse on the verge of a strange road" is about the division of the witch tribe headquarters, you just said that the "goddess's battle clothes" are scattered in western Tibet, Changchun, Hunan, and Xinjiang...... So, where is the headquarters of the Wu Clan?"
"In Hunan, the headquarters of the Wu clan hides the green jade shoes enshrined in the temple. Bai Yicong replied lightly, and then changed his words, and suddenly spoke, "Speaking of which, didn't your master brother Shen Chuanyuan go to Mocheng once, didn't he tell you something?"
"Hey, how do you know .......?"
He Manzhou muttered quietly, his big cunning and agile eyes unceremoniously passed the teasing gaze, and he opened his mouth and began to tease his boyfriend, which was quite a bit bitter.
"You care about me so much, Bai Yicong, or did you have a crush on me before, and you don't want to miss the slightest detail about me, in fact, without me knowing, you have already inquired about the people around me?"
"It's too much to think about, it's just that when I investigate the Tianwentang Museum, I just pay attention to it by the way. ”
"Can you be honest and say a few more sweet words to die?"
"To tell you the truth, I first investigated the Tianwentang Museum, and then I heard a few words from my cousin. He asked me if he knew the embroidery expert in Mo City, and when he talked about Gu Qi, he mentioned Shen Chuanyuan, and my understanding of Shen Chuanyuan was limited to this. ”
Only halfway through these words, Bai Yicong suddenly stopped.
Liu Mu, Gu Period......
At that moment, a strange sense of surprise seemed to flash through Bai Yicong's mind, and the details that had been ignored became clear at this moment.
Bai Yicong felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while.
Before, he probably didn't care about his cousin's lace news, and Bai Yinever had the possibility of delving into it, but now that he thinks about it, everything is actually reflected. Liu Mu said that he was going to deal with important things, and the girl who was with him must be the people's teacher Gu Qi who Liu Dashao had been pursuing recently, right?
And what is the relationship between Gu Qi and Shen Chuanyuan, the relationship between the predecessors. Does this kind of embarrassing identity that says that it is not close and far away also communicate some degree of secrets, and thus affect something?
Also, why did Liu Mu suddenly inquire about the embroidery expert, is this to please the beautiful girl he is currently pursuing, or is there another reason, it's just that Bai Yicong thought about it more. But if you really don't think about it, and it's really Gu Qi who is investigating these things, then everything becomes even more suspicious.
Does Gu Qi want to check it himself, or is he helping Shen Chuanyuan, who has been to Mocheng, to confirm something?
And removing these factors, the biggest doubts are far from limited to this.
Why did they go around in a big circle, and the people who were entangled and entangled were actually the people around He Manzhou?
It's as if someone is planning something invisibly, using He Manzhou as the axis, playing a big game of chess that has been planned for a long time.
If the boat is the vessel for the gods, what do those people want to do?
Or rather, what is the purpose of the container, and how do they want to wake it up?
Before Bai Yicong could figure out anything, He Manzhou gently touched him with his elbow, and the girl's smart eyes were so beautiful that he only thought about how to protect her for a moment, and was no longer willing to mention any cruel facts.
"Hey, Bai Yicong, what do you want, is it possible to find an excuse to perfunctory me?"
"Nothing. Bai Yicong replied lightly, stunned and didn't say a word.
He Manzhou also had a deep understanding of Boss Bai's incomprehensible style, so at this moment, she just pretended to be lost and sighed, as if she was deliberately squeezing Bai Yicong, and continued to answer.
"Forget it, I didn't expect you to say anything nice, Senior Brother Shen did go to Mocheng, but it was to find suitable exhibits for the Tianwentang Museum, and he didn't tell me about it, how do I know what he is investigating." ”
"That'....... Did you ever suspect that there was something wrong with him?"
Such a question made He Manzhou slightly stunned.
Have you ever suspected that Shen Chuanyuan has a problem, this sentence is no less than soul torture.
As for the answer, it's just that she doesn't want to face it.
