Chapter 155: Struggle

At the same moment, the illusionary transcendence of Chaohui Mountain is a gap in time and space.

Bai Yicong and He Manzhou were still wandering in the boundless fantasy world, and the heavy rain that continued all night carried the damp mud, the kind of rain mixed with the peculiar fishy smell of the earth, and the pervasive deprivation of the nose. As the so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, people who are in the fragmented time and space are often unaware of the strange sense of stagnation, and all perceptions are only left with a sense of infinite prolongation, as if this long night has no end.

It's a game within a game, and it's a game within a game.

Bai Yicong summoned the Tower of Babel from the broken clues in his memory, found the ancient temple where the gods were buried, and finally found the mysterious coordinates of Zhaohui Mountain according to these things that had been explored and forcibly interrupted by the people hiding behind them.

With the appearance of those two ancient paintings and the diary left by He Sheng, Bai Yicong finally understood the truth about the accident that happened back then.

The accident back then was not accidental, it was obviously because he and He Sheng spied on the secret about the Loulan goddess and alarmed the sleeping god, which made the people who were hiding behind it panic and had to do it in advance.

But taking 10,000 steps back, those people deployed so much just to summon the goddess, open the treasure of the relict king, and open the secret of immortality that was buried along with the sleeping history of the ancient kingdom of Loulan.

Why did they choose to seal it instead at the critical moment?

Of course, this will not be the so-called difference of thought or the kindness of a woman, the only possibility is that the time has not come.

There is only one chance to summon a god.

The little princess who woke up from the flower soul waited for thousands of years, of course, she couldn't tolerate any deviation, but it was obvious that Bai Yicong and He Sheng had touched the edge of the secret, but they only touched it, and they were not sure to open the secret completely.

So the little princess can only choose to settle for the next best thing and forcibly terminate this exploration.

After that, He Sheng's disappearance and Bai Yicong's amnesia.

The little princess, with the help of the power of the gods, forcibly interrupted all this in a very sharp way. Then continue to reason in this direction, after the failed attempt a year ago, she left clues again, disturbed the internal turmoil of the Bai family, and forced several forces to focus on the treasure of the Relic King, which was also a disguised guide to Bai Yicong to investigate these.

And the same situation is the same in the Tianwentang Museum, the notebook that suddenly appeared in the porcelain vase, the "Ancient Picture of Shantao Words" that I don't know who put it in the courtyard of the He family, and the dream that He Manzhou remembered intermittently...... It was actively or passively pulled her into these mysteries until it finally got deeper and deeper.

The Bai family, the He family, and even more of those involved were part of the plan.

Or to put it more simply and directly, it's all the layout of the little princess.

Bai Yicong knows that all plans will not be foolproof, not to mention that things in the world are changing rapidly, and a little carelessness is a complete reversal of the situation. It's just that in this battlefield without gunpowder smoke at the moment, the ancient country of Loulan is buried with secrets and is cautious, if the little princess who woke up from the flower soul is really full of certainty, she will not go to great lengths to put every important decision on others.

All the fueling and killing people with knives has the meaning of being a last resort after all.

You can do everything yourself, so why hope for others?

Bai Yicong was pushed into the layout as a chess piece, unable to completely jump out, just like "only because he is in this mountain", the opponent is hiding in the shadows, and he is always in the light, which in itself is a disadvantage. But it doesn't hurt to fall down, since you are in the game, it is full of variables, and the way to break the game is also hidden in the game.

It was already obvious what the little princess wanted to do.

But why did she have to hold on to the Bai family and the He family?

At the beginning, it was Bai Yicong who came to Zhaohui Mountain with He Sheng to wake up the gods, but now that Lao He is missing, the object of awakening the gods has been replaced by He Manzhou.......

There's so much to ponder.

If the connection between the Bai family and the ancient kingdom of Loulan is that the ancestors of the Bai family accidentally discovered the treasure of the relict king a hundred years ago, and used it as a secret that only the heads of the previous generations are qualified to know, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. And the clue about the treasure of the relict king happens to be an indispensable clue for the little princess of Loulan to summon the gods, so everything that happened in the Bai family makes sense.

However, why was the He family involved?

In other words, what is the subtle point that connects the He family with the ancient kingdom of Loulan, is it the Wu totem that He Sheng stumbled upon while conducting field research? Is it the selection of Miao Jiang that he found halfway through and had to be shelved? Or is it the "Ancient Map of Shantao Words" that the person hiding behind him took the initiative to send to him?

No, obviously not those, and not only these.

These things are more like a last resort under some kind of premise, not so much that this is He Sheng's accidental discovery, but that someone is trying to guide him, and even encourage him to discover these things.

And those people had to let He Sheng investigate, and it was not possible to replace it with anyone else, so they could only let He Sheng deal with it, and after He Sheng disappeared, his only daughter He Manzhou was involved, why?

This is one of the doubts that Bai Yi has analyzed from his analysis.

As for the second suspicion, it is about the subtle connection between the person behind this and the Bai family.

Including but not limited to, the little princess of Loulan originally had nothing to do with the Bai family, but she knew everything about the Bai family. Or the bizarre deaths of the two heads of the Bai family and the power struggle within the Bai family, but they were put to death several times and survived.

In addition to the identity of the chess piece, the Bai family also seems to be like the profiteer in it.

The little princess of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, why should she be so kind to the Bai family, if she simply uses it, isn't it better to make the best use of it?

Many clues point to the same possibility - the little princess of Loulan may have a more unknown connection with the Bai family.

So, what is the missing link?

Regarding these intricate things, Bai Yicong also speculated and calculated, it was in order to find this hidden way to break the situation that he would take He Manzhou to Zhaohui Mountain again. As everyone knows, this is Bai Yicong's exploration, and it is also the trade-off of the little princess, between the two forces, the most important of which is He Manzhou's body.

When the illusion of Zhaohui Mountain opens, it is the day when the gods gradually awaken.

For the things left by the Wu clan, He Manzhou is so familiar and so unfamiliar. The intermittent scenes that had appeared in her dreams gradually became complete on such a special occasion. After opening the shrine in the ancient temple, she and Bai Yicong finally found the secret and completely opened the tomb of the goddess.

At this time, it is only necessary to collect the "goddess's suit" before the awakening of the evil god.

Being in an infinitely elongated time and space, many things become illusory. He Manzhou watched the little princess and the twelve concubines go through in the temple, and all the truths that were gradually pieced together through the sand and gravel of history were imprinted in her mind.

Unlike the narration of the bystander's mouth, it is also different from the intermittent fragments of dreams. He Manzhou could clearly feel that when she entered the ancient temple summoned by the Tower of Babel, walked into the tomb of the goddess step by step, and touched the crystal coffin that only she could see, many things became different.

She is not a bystander, nor is she a witness.

It's the participants.

The most real side of those remnants of history is all in He Manzhou's dream.

It is even said that it is recorded in her mind.

As He Manzhou pieced together those fragments of broken memories bit by bit, the past of the ancient kingdom of Loulan became vivid again. Those secrets about the evil god of Loulan, the beginning of the strange sacrifice of the Wu clan, the first saintess born in the clan, the catastrophe brought about by the arrival of the goddess, and the lies that are enough to completely destroy the entire tribe.

At this moment, He Manzhou has not realized what an important role he has played in this history.

is also blinded by illusion, and Bai Yicong.

Boss Bai, who has always been strategic, is deeply entangled in the mystery, and feels that this trip has gone too far, and they really found the coordinates of the ancient temple with the help of two ancient paintings, and successfully summoned the Tower of Babel. Memories of the accident last year gradually woke up from his mind, such as the blue eyes of the goddess in the strange cave.

But they didn't know that this was only the first layer of the illusion.

In the illusion that He Manzhou saw, it was the whole picture of the ancient kingdom of Loulan.

It is an ancient and mysterious foreign land, a lost civilization buried in the yellow sand. The wind and sand cover the sky and the sun, with the distant camel bells rolling in, the scorching sun shines with the light of Phnom Penh, and at the end of the desert is a lush oasis, becoming the only green in the yellow sand, revealing one of the few glimmers of life in the desert.

The past, which is hidden in the sand of history and cannot be delved into, can only be traced by historical records.

He Manzhou watched as the extremely pure water burst out of the water droplets, flowing down from the fountain, and shattering in the pure white fountain pool, like brilliant diamonds falling down. The lotus flowers in full bloom reflect the sunlight, and the water color spreads all the way out of the clouds. The plain white lotus exudes a wisp of fragrance, mixed with light water vapor, which is so good.

Next to the lotus pond is a white temple.

The tall buildings have a strong exotic style, and the beautiful columns are suspended at the edge of the pool, which is enough to make people dizzy when they are intertwined with unbroken lies and civilizations under pomp and circumstance. The distant chanting slowly spread with the sound of the wind, and in the middle of the temple was a beautiful crystal coffin, and a girl in gorgeous clothes sat on the edge of the crystal coffin, and the glow of her body fell on her.

“....... You're coming to see me?"

He Manzhou looked at this beautiful girl in a daze, speechless for a long time.

She was originally amazed by the agility and beauty of the little princess, but when she saw this girl shrouded in lotus flowers, she suddenly realized what it was to transcend the boundaries of beauty, like a goddess standing in the clouds. When He Manzhou's fingertips touched the girl's sarnics, those broken memories were like opening the floodgates that were out of control, and finally became complete.

At that moment, a lot of things were changing invisibly.

He Manzhou herself was unaware, just as she didn't know that something was awakening in her body.

And she is the most important chess piece.

........

At the same time, among the flower houses in the distant valley.

Xia Mian watched the scene of the illusion shattered in the mirror, the transparent glass flower room was wrapped in an endless sea of flowers, and the boundless splendor and enchantment reflected her beautiful and almost cruel smile.

"You see, what's the point of struggling?"
