Chapter 66: Cause and Effect
At this time, He Manzhou wanted to ask, didn't you say that you don't remember the trip to Wucheng last time, why are you talking about everything now.
But this is too much like demolition, if Bai Yinever wants to be open and honest, not only will she not be able to ask anything, but in the end she will be sure to be sentenced-"Now is not the time to tell you, don't ask what you don't need to know, you can tell you, even if you don't ask, I will say" to block back lightly.
has experienced a lot, and He Manzhou can arrange his script clearly.
But He Manzhou understands the reason, and he can't stand it, it's really full of question marks.
After talking for a long time, Miss He finally couldn't hold back and continued to ask: "What is the matter with your Bai family's treasure of the relic......t king? I don't understand it anyway. β
"What don't you understand?" Bai Yicong turned his head slightly.
"Of course, it's about the treasure of the bereaved king, I already know that this is a fragrant bait, whether it is gold and silver treasures or the secret of eternal life, it is very tempting, and it is enough to make people greedy enough. In addition to your Bai family, there seem to be several groups of forces behind it that are coveted, which is not wrong. But I really don't understand, what does the treasure of the relict king have to do with what you said, could it be that the fall of Loulan is still related to the treasure of your Bai family?"
This was originally just He Manzhou's angry joke, and its effect was probably the same as "you can do it, don't force it if you can't do it", and did not expect to get any positive feedback. Who knew that Boss Bai actually didn't take the usual path, and directly gave a positive answer.
"Yes, you're right, that's one of my guesses. β
"What...... What?" He Manzhou was completely stunned.
"For things that shouldn't be in the world, burying them completely is the best option. This was the case with the Tower of Babel back then, and the same is true with the treasures of the Bai family today. However, the world was too greedy to communicate with the gods and get those unrealistic things, and the innocent saints of the ancient kingdom of Loulan became victims of greed, and people paid the price for it. β
Bai Yicong sighed undetectably, his cold eyes sank slightly, full of unpredictable emotions.
I don't know if it's a bonus under a specific environment, He Manzhou was stunned to hear a little sad and compassionate.
"After many years, some people want to turn these things back up, no matter what their purpose, they can't open this taboo, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable. It is difficult to delve into the source of these things as to how the treasure of the Relic King was originally passed on to the Bai family, but as the head of the Bai family, I must not ignore these things. β
"You can't open this taboo...... What kind of taboo is it?" He Manzhou tried to calm down and asked with a focused face, "How did your Bai family get into such a big trouble." And my father, I still haven't figured it out, my family's old He Yi has never been to the ancient country of Loulan, and the second doesn't have such a deep family background, is it really because of a topic to pull out so many things?"
"It must not be an accident that He Sheng was involved, as for the Bai family..... Of course, Huai Bi's sin is on the cusp, which is not difficult to understand, after all, the treasure of the relict king is something that should not exist in the world. Or it wouldn't be accurate to call it the Treasure of the Relic King, if I'm not mistaken, it should be called - the Gift of the Goddess. β
"A gift from a goddess?"
He Manzhou heard it in the clouds, and his clear and moving eyes were full of obvious doubts. She deeply felt that Bai Yicong's every sentence was Mandarin, but when these words were connected, she couldn't understand a single word, and even if she did, she didn't dare to admit it, after all, all this was too unbelievable.
"In other words, the treasure of your Bai family's relict king is actually something that the Wu clan of the ancient kingdom of Loulan wanted to open and failed to open back then, but how could this thing have been passed down for so many years...... No, these are all later words, didn't you say that the demise of the ancient kingdom of Loulan was because of that goddess, and an ancient kingdom died with it, so wouldn't it be very dangerous for us two mortal mortals to be born now?"
Bai Yicong adhered to the principle of not being shocking and dying, but nodded slightly, and said concisely.
"That's right. β
He Manzhou: "......"
There is really no way to take this word, save the child, am I crazy, or the world is crazy.
Since Bai Yi never spoke, as soon as he exited the mouth, it was a shocking secret, and He Manzhou was completely blindfolded. The amount of information about these things is too much, Miss He thought about it again and again with her own brain, trying to sort out the logic between Bai Yicong's words, but she couldn't understand anything.
At this moment, she felt that her earlier history had been in vain.
Although she knew that He Sheng's disappearance was very strange, from the beginning of finding Bai Yi, she took every step unbelievable, as if she had exhausted all the amazing adventures in this life. But no matter how much she explored, she never thought that she would have something to do with the ancient inheritance.
She has read a lot of books about tomb robbing, and in those supernatural suspense, what is the fate of those who touch the taboo, even if she hasn't really seen it, she has heard of it, anyway, there is no good beginning and end on the left and right.
What's going on, I'm just trying to investigate my father's whereabouts, and I don't really want to be the savior of the whole world?
He Manzhou slandered so much in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more troublesome he became, and he felt that the direction of the whole thing became more and more weird. If she hadn't been sure that Bai Yixian didn't have to lie to her about this kind of thing, let alone deliberately lying about the military situation to disturb people's hearts, she would have to wonder if April Fool's Day was in advance, and Boss Bai could make fun of her and make fun of people.
"Think about it, that'...... Don't tell me, we have to investigate this, to prevent anyone from wanting to reopen the treasure of the relict king, in fact, to prevent the tragedy of the ancient kingdom of Loulan from happening again?"
Bai Yicong nodded slightly, and directly gave He Manzhou a positive answer.
"There were many signs of religious missions in the ancient kingdom of Loulan, that is, the "records in historical materials" that you just told me, and I will not go into them again. However, what really affected the fall of Loulan may be the evil god who has no record in history and should not exist in the world - that is, the so-called goddess. β
"Wait, I'll take care of it," He Manzhou felt more and more headaches the more he spoke, and felt that he would be on the verge of a crash at any time, "I'm a little messy now, you let me react." β
Most people's immune mechanisms can always be broken through, and after encountering enough strong stimuli, they can quickly calm down and get a glimpse of some organization from the intricate mess.
is like He Manzhou at this moment-
Her brain was racing, and her ability to logic had reached the pinnacle of her life. Bai Yicong gradually unified the words she had just said and the things she had investigated openly and secretly during this time, stacked up piece by piece like a jigsaw puzzle, piecing together the context of the whole thing, and she finally opened her mouth unhurriedly.
"The treasure of the bereaved king is the gift of the goddess, the reason why you and my father encountered an accident back then was because of the investigation of the goddess of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and my father's life and death are now uncertain because of these things that should not be provoked. And nine times out of ten, his disappearance is related to those who covet the treasure of the relict king. So, whether you want to stop those people from opening the treasure, or if you think of my dad, you have to find out the person behind it first, I understand it that way, right?"
Bai Yicong knew that the content of today's conversation was too subversive, he did not interrupt He Manzhou's fragmented thoughts, and deliberately left her enough space for her to slowly digest this secret.
And Miss He understands people in the end, and after sorting out her thoughts for a long time, she lived up to expectations and pointed out the most critical content.
"The purpose of those people is the gift of the Divine Woman, and whatever they want to do and why they are so mad, we must stop them. As for how to stop it...... It is necessary to find the crux of everything, which is the so-called goddess...... Bai Yicong, so you didn't come to Wucheng just because this is where you and my dad have beenβyou're actually here to find this ancient temple, because what is enshrined in this ancient temple is the goddess we're looking for, right?"
The candle flame shadow flickered, Bai Yicong's tone paused, and the words turned sharply.
"Yes, you're right, the only way to stop them from opening the Treasure of the Relic King is to follow the Treasure of the Relic King and destroy the treasure completely before it happens. Since you want to investigate, you have to find the original starting point, that is, the god of war of Loulan, who was worshiped by them as a savior in this ancient temple. β
Almost without any warning, He Manzhou suddenly had palpitations.
Outside, there was another thunderbolt, and the electric light brightened the night, and everything seemed strange and miserable in the midst of the misery. This dilapidated temple has been in disrepair for a long time, and it can't withstand much wind and rain at all, so that it should be a little warmer indoors, but when you get here, it's colder than when you just get watered by the winter night rain.
It was probably at the cusp of the wind, and He Manzhou only felt that the hairs on his body stood up.
For a while, I couldn't tell whether it was because it was too cold, or if the impact of the information tonight was too great, which made people shudder.
The cold wind in the late autumn night was biting, and the heavy rain continued, and the cold air directly invaded the bone marrow from the Tianling cover, making people feel cold from the inside out. Before entering the mountain, He Manzhou deliberately wore a thick coat, and Bai Yi warmed her from this artificial hand warmer, it stands to reason that she should not be so frost-resistant, but at this moment she only shuddered.
Bai Yicong's words were still coming intermittently, and the low and beautiful voice seemed to be separated by a layer of mist, and it gradually became less real.
From the moment he first saw the Tower of Babel and entered the specious environment, He Manzhou had a strong sense of trance. After entering this ancient temple, she was even more uncomfortable, the whole person felt groggy, the sharp stinging pain in her temples was never interrupted, and the trance that spread from her consciousness made her almost unconscious.
"Didn't I tell you before that the treasure of the Relic King holds the secret of eternal life..... Who can say what eternal life means?"
.......
He Manzhou subconsciously tightened Bai Yicong's hand, as if this could relieve the irritability in his heart.
The warmth from her fingers reassured her a little, and she raised her fingers and rubbed them on her temples, restraining the dizziness that constantly deprived her of consciousness, but this effect was minimal. Probably because he didn't want Bai Yicong to see something wrong, He Manzhou lowered his head slightly, pretending to be looking at the broken stones to hide his emotions.
But the moment her finger touched the gravel, everything was reversed again.
Like the sudden dizziness of the brain when the brain is deprived of oxygen, He Manzhou was in a trance in an instant.
The scene she had just seen in the illusion came again, and the intermittent chanting sound tore at her eardrums with hypnotic bewitchment.
The night rain carried a rotting damp air, wisps of wisps into the nose.
The so-called cause and effect can no longer be hidden.
