Chapter 389: So, Who's Undercover?
His indifference made Bai Yan more and more annoyed, or she needed hatred to soothe the pain of losing a loved one.
She stood up, let the rain wash away the tears on her face, and walked towards Hongmeng Town without looking back: "I don't want to see you again, get out." β
Bai Xiu didn't know what it was like in his heart, after thirty years, he had said goodbye to Bai Yan, I was afraid that it would be difficult to see each other again in his life, and now that he was back thirty years ago, he thought that he could cherish this time of reunion, but he didn't expect it to become a delusion in the end.
But it's okay, in a sense, he and this Bai Yan are originally people from two worlds, and the fewer the bonds, the better.
He looked at her back and said in a deep voice: "The undead reverse current will cultivate ghost eyes in the main body of the host, if you let others know, it will cause unnecessary trouble, if you can, you can take those three children and leave the Bai family temporarily." β
"I don't need you to teach them, I've already hidden them nearby, and I'll take them away now. β
Bai Yan paused for a moment, did not look back, but looked at the turbulent Suling River, and said slowly, "They took all this from my brother, and one day I will take it all back." β
"You will. Bai Xiu is more sure than her, he doesn't know if she is doing well in the other world, Bai Dong is dead, she no longer has competitors in the Six Sects, and she has probably become the head of the Bai family.
The two fell silent at the same time, and for a while, only the sound of the rain was still dripping, and I don't know how long it was, Bai Yan suddenly turned around: "You haven't told me yet, who are you." β
Bai Xiu was stunned, he really planned to tell her the truth before, but at this moment, he couldn't open this mouth anyway.
Seeing that he was silent, Bai Yan said coldly: "Actually, just now, I have already guessed your origin. β
There was a complicated look in her eyes that Bai Xiu couldn't fathom.
"Not only do you know the Bai family very well, but even this series of events seems to have been predicted for a long time, except for the initiators, I'm afraid that only those who will know the truth in the future...... You're not of this world, are you?"
Bai Xiu never expected her to be so keen, but she was really afraid that she knew too much and had an unpredictable impact on things, so she looked away noncommittally.
Bai Yan continued: "You appeared too strangely at the beginning, I will rest there, since I have already figured out the situation nearby, no one will be able to come over unnoticed." β
Bai Xiu found that he still underestimated Bai Yan at this time.
This made him change his previous plans, he must not let Bai Yan know his identity, otherwise with her astuteness, she would be able to figure things out now, and what plans she would have at that time, I am afraid that he would not be able to do it.
"I didn't expect you to guess, but it wasn't a big deal, and I was going to tell you. β
"I'm just curious, who the hell are you. β
Bai Yan looked at him intently, and said to himself, "You seem to know me, and you also know my brother and that woman, not only me, even Xie Qingyuan, no matter how you hide your gaze at her, you can't help but show a little reluctance."
You know us, don't you? No wonder you looked at me like that before, it turns out that we are really "old people" ......."
She said quietly, but gradually she seemed to realize something, her expression suddenly changed, and her eyes were full of disbelief: "Are you, are you ......?"
Bai Xiu didn't expect that what he was worried about before would come true in an instant, but he was inexplicably relaxed, as if someone had helped him share the things that were pressing on his heart, and couldn't help but smile: "I'm sorry, maybe I should have told you at the beginning." β
Looking at his pale cheeks, Bai Yan suddenly didn't know what to say, she was far from having a position to blame him from beginning to end, and the person who should say sorry should be her.
She turned her gaze to the wound on his hand: "What happened next, why were you so badly injured?"
"It's just a small injury, don't worry. β
Bai Xiu didn't expect her to ask this, and he laughed for a while, but seeing her frowning, he returned to his previous solemnity, "You are still young, and the future will be troubled by us in the future, you just need to take care of yourself." β
Bai Yan couldn't hide his panic: "Are you leaving? shouldn't I ask where you came from......?"
Bai Xiu comforted: "It has nothing to do with you, it's just that I still have some things to solve when I came here, so it's time to leave." β
He looked at the east, which was gradually brightening, and a ray of light was reflected in the clouds, and it was also very bright in the rain.
His heart also brightened, and he looked back at Bai Yan with a chuckle: "No matter what happens in the future, don't be afraid, I've always been by your side, but now I'm going to say goodbye." β
Bai Yan lowered her head, tears couldn't help but roll down, she didn't want him to see her weak appearance, she turned around and walked towards Hongmeng Town.
But after a few steps, she involuntarily stopped, and when she looked back, there was only a gradually rising mist on the empty riverbank, and the sunlight that suddenly shone on it, and then disappeared.
Three days later, Dragon Shadow Villa.
Bai Xiu never thought that he would appear in this place one day thirty years ago, of course, the Dragon Shadow Villa at this time was just a prototype, far less prosperous than the back, but the village was full of people, setting off the quiet Wangshan Mountain Range, which could be regarded as lively.
I don't know what happened, but many houses in the village collapsed.
The Fang family was probably busy with the reconstruction and didn't notice his arrival, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, after all, the Fang family at this time was also living by tradition, and it was not yet open to outsiders.
When he entered the villa, he searched the crowd without a trace, but he never found Xie Qingyuan.
After he separated from Bai Yan that day, he was about to go back to Buhuluer Mountain again, but he didn't expect to meet Xie Qingyuan on the way, she didn't die, she took his father's body all the way to the east, and finally came here.
To be honest, Xie Qingyuan's every move made Bai Xiu unable to understand what the meaning was. For example, why did she kill his father, and why did she come to Fang's house.
The only thing he knew was that she wasn't crazy, and that a normal person would do these things for a reason.
He was not Xie Qingyuan, so naturally he couldn't analyze this matter from her point of view, so he decided to think differently, what was so special about the Fang family? It was at that moment that Bai Xiu thought of a little - could she be ruining the idea of the Spirit Tower?
Su Xiangliu and Mr. Feng had previously talked about the origin of Heaven and Earth Wuji and Dizhuang, although they did not specify that the force behind the Lingling Pagoda was the so-called Ditian, but they did not rule out such a possibility.
He even thought that Di Tian was the driving force behind the stinging of the sky, and it was the real person who raised ants in the legend.
If this is the case, then many of the previous assumptions will have to be overturned and reanalyzed.
The first point is the identity of his mother Xie Qingyuan, it can be seen from the attitude of Qingliao and the others towards her that her status will never be low, so how could she be an undercover agent sent out by the Xie family?
He suddenly realized one thing, I am afraid that the matter is exactly the opposite of what he guessed before, the reason why the Xie family has known about the existence of Xie Qingyuan for a long time is because she has been their target a long time ago.
Then here comes the problem, and it is also what he has been bothering all along.
Including Ling Cang, all the people who mentioned the plan seemed to have a little inducement in their words, this plan was initiated by his father, but now it seems that his father is just one of the executors.
That's strange, Xie Ningyun has been emphasizing the criticality of his plan, he thought it was his father's arrangement, but his father was just a pawn, it didn't seem to make sense.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Zheng Ruyi's words, Zheng Ruyi said that his particularity came from Xie Qingyuan, which just corroborated the analysis just now - they were indeed targeting Xie Qingyuan at the beginning.
The thought popped up in Bai Xiu's mind for no reason, the people involved in that plan, including the Xie family, did send an undercover agent, but it was not his mother, but his father.
Perhaps they had long been aware of the existence of the forces behind Xie Qingyuan, and even knew about their plan to subvert the cultivation world, so they asked his father to approach her and secretly promote the plan.
A terrifying inference appeared, those people, including his father, probably knew which direction things were going to go, and even that was the result of their guidance, and the price paid by the Phoenix Sect and Mingyue Island was nothing more than a smoke screen for them to confuse the heavens.
His thinking became clearer and clearer, the undead countercurrent created a ghost eye, and the eight-star corpse array gave birth to the Blood Yang Corpse Bead, which was all related to that plan, and everything was under their control.
But then again, if this Spirit Pagoda is the ghost of Ditian, then what is its purpose?
Bai Xiu looked at the ruined walls in front of him, and suddenly thought, at this time, Heaven and Earth Wuji should have been drained of the yin core, and his father had already rescued Shui Qiu, everything was no different from twenty years later, what was Xie Qingyuan entering the Lingling Pagoda for?
This seemed to be the easiest question for him to get the answer, as long as he followed in, everything would be clear, and he would not delay any longer, and leaned towards the center of the lake without a trace.
He didn't have the Illusory Heart Jue, so naturally he couldn't enter the Illusory Heart Secret Realm and go around to the Lingling Pagoda from there, but he was sure that there must be a passage under the Xiwen Gambling House that led there.
Of course, as far as the current situation of Dragon Shadow Villa is concerned, it is estimated that the Joy Gambling House has not yet been built, and sure enough, when he arrived at the shore of the lake, the island was covered with green forests, as if there was no sign of human activity, but it retained the most primitive style.
However, he was not worried, the secret passage under the Xiwen Gambling House was obviously not built by Fang Chengying later, in other words, even if it existed on that island now, he only needed to find the location of the mezzanine.
He made up his mind, taking advantage of the lack of people, quickly swam to the opposite shore, and then flashed into the dense forest, following his memory he carefully searched in the center of the island, and the effort paid off, and soon he found the clue.
It was a very dense bush, and he lifted the corners of the layers of foliage to reveal a hole that looked like a collapse, and when he cleared the dirt a little, a hole that could be passed through by one person appeared.
