Chapter 367: A Dream of Butterflies
To be honest, even he has never seen one. However, he thought of a way, the thing that can be used as a spiritual platform also contains Yun Sheng's spiritual power, in fact, there is also a spiritual field, although he can't be sure whether the previous spiritual power fluctuation is the power of the stone tablet itself, or the spiritual power suppressed by it, and he doesn't know why it disappeared, but if this thing is really not a mortal thing, then it will definitely show some characteristics.
He has also used this method before, which is called asking for directions by dripping blood. Although there are not enough five people now, it is difficult to sort out the superimposed spiritual fields here, but human blood is a very psychic thing, and with the help of the resonance of the Demon Breaker Blade and the air, some clues can also be found.
As soon as he said to do it, Bai Xiu pulled out the Demon Breaking Blade, his right hand flashed slightly, and blood beads appeared from the tips of his left fingers. He repeated his old trick, and soon the blood beads flew towards the stone tablet like arrows from the mystery. It is strange to say that it did not drip on the stele, but seemed to be supported by some force, like the hands on the clock face, circling around the stele rapidly.
And the next moment, bursts of red light lit up on the stele! What was even more strange was that when the red light went up, two columns of words appeared on the originally empty stele.
Bai Xiu was stunned, looked at those words and subconsciously read them: "Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, Wan Qi Root, all the spirits of the world, only I ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp pain suddenly sounded in his brain. At the same time, the Demon Breaker Blade groaned, and unexpectedly broke free from his hand and slashed towards the stone tablet!
Bai Xiu realized that something was wrong and wanted to stop it, but he didn't want the pain to become more intense, he only felt that as soon as it was dark in front of him, the world gradually left him. And at the moment when he lost consciousness, he heard a loud bang, and he tried to open his eyes to see that the stone tablet had been torn apart, and the red light instantly poured out from the ground, circling towards him, he only felt that all his internal organs were about to be broken by it, and he only lasted a few seconds before fainting.
"Brother Bai Xiu......"
In a daze, he heard a girl whispering his name. Qu Lian? He subconsciously thought, did someone find out about him and brought him back to Lizhen? Or maybe he had been dreaming all along, and now he was about to wake up?
He tried to open his eyes, and for a few seconds he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl sitting on the side looking at him with concern, and there was a faint surprise on her immature face. He suddenly felt that the other party was a little familiar, and finally reacted, and said in disbelief: "Bai Yu'er?"
"Brother Bai Xiu, are you awake?!" Seeing that he was about to sit up, Bai Yu'er hurriedly pressed her hand and complained, "You are injured, don't move...... You are too defenseless, Bai Zaiyuan's guy came to you, what kind of kindness can you have? He quietly moved his hands and feet on you, if it wasn't for Grandpa's timely treatment, you would have been killed by him!"
"Injury?" Bai Xiu reacted at this time, there was still pain in his brain, just now he thought it was caused by the stone tablet, so he didn't care, he didn't expect that he had returned to Hongyuan Island, and this injury was actually the hand of Bai Zaiyuan "before". That's strange, why did Bai Zaiyuan change his hexagram, could it be that the lobbyist was just a cover for him?
He was thinking wildly, but his heart was more confused. Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies, butterflies dream of Zhuang Zhou, is what has been happening all the time real, or did he have a big dream here and only woke up at this moment?
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but take a little luck, maybe when he returned to the original world, he would still be trapped on Hongyuan Island with Ming Yuchu, everything had not started, Fang Xin was still alive, everyone was still alive.
This kind of hope made him grasp the last straw like a drowning man, and hurriedly said: "Yu'er, I want to see your grandfather again, can I trouble you to talk about it?"
"No, no!" Bai Yu'er waved her hand again and again, "This is a hiding place that grandpa found with great difficulty, Bai Zaiyuan, that guy wants to harm you, he will definitely not stop until he achieves his goal, isn't it equivalent to sending him to death if you go out......"
Now Bai Xiu is no longer afraid of him, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, I have my own way to deal with it." ”
Seeing that she couldn't convince him, Bai Yu'er said helplessly: "Okay...... Brother Bai Xiu, you come with me. ”
Bai Xiu followed her and pushed the door out, but behind the door was an upward staircase. After taking a few steps, Bai Yu'er pushed the top of her head, revealing an opening that could allow one person to pass through. She took the lead in popping up, and when she looked around and saw that there was really no movement, she crawled out.
Bai Xiu hurriedly followed, and when he got to the ground, he found that this was not another place, but the Bai family ancestral hall, and the location of the secret passage was also very familiar, which was the direction of the spiritual well that was opened later.
In just that moment, Bai Xiu thought of a little.
Bai Yu'er said that this place could avoid Bai Zaiyuan's search, obviously it was not an ordinary place. So does that spiritual well have the same effect?
In this way, as Xie Ningyun said, they trapped him there because they wanted him to "disappear" for a while.
And the person who persuaded the Six Sects to send him to the Lingjing back then was his aunt Bai Yan, does this mean that she is likely to have been involved in it a long time ago?
While pondering, Bai Yu'er had already led him sneakily into the door of his house.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw the old man sitting on the stone chair looking at them with a clear face, and she was surprised: "Grandpa, you seem to know that Brother Bai Xiu and I will come back?"
The old man smiled silently, looked at Bai Xiu, but said to her: "Yu'er, tomorrow is the day to harvest the jade, you go and see if everyone is ready." ”
"Grandpa......" Bai Yu'er's eyes were dripping, and she wanted to find an interface to stay, but the old man didn't understand her, so he still looked at her with a smile.
In the end, she had no choice but to stick out her tongue and say to Bai Xiu: "Brother Bai Xiu, I'll go out first, you and grandpa talk slowly." ”
When she took the door and left, Bai Xiu had already realized something, and said straight to the point: "Old gentleman, it seems that you know that I will come." ”
The old man looked at him sharply, and suddenly said, "I haven't seen you for a day, but you have changed so much." ”
The change he said naturally does not refer to the appearance, but to the state of mind, Bai Xiu thought gloomily, a person who only has one side can see this, how can he deceive himself to erase the traces of the facts.
Thinking like this, he stopped hiding it and told him what happened.
After hearing this, the old man was thoughtful, and said slowly: "I seem to know what the plan you are talking about is. ”
Bai Xiu was stunned, hurriedly saluted, and said solemnly: "Please also ask the old gentleman to give me advice." ”
The old man shook his head: "I can't tell you either, knowing the truth when you shouldn't know it may change a lot of things, and that may be dangerous for you." ”
He wanted to speak, but he stopped.
The old man waved his hand, signaling him not to ask yet, and continued: "Just like now, when I know the inevitable outcome of Hongyuan Island, I will adjust my strategy, and the same will be true in Yuanyuan, which is very likely to change this fact. ”
Bai Xiu faintly realized something, but still asked, "But wouldn't it be better if Hongyuan Island could escape this catastrophe?"
The old man sighed: "That is to change one's life against the sky, if a person wants to change a predetermined ending, the final price will inevitably be more tragic than the ending itself, and it is not worth it." ”
He smiled: "The reason why a thing will develop into a later situation is the result of natural deduction, and sometimes only by accepting fate can the loss be minimized, so as to preserve the strength so that it can make a comeback later." ”
Bai Xiu frowned and said, "The old gentleman seems to already know the method of cracking this game on Hongyuan Island, but you don't want to crack it?"
"What is inside the game and what is outside?" the old man groaned, "After breaking the game, it is difficult to ensure that it is not from one game to another, it is better to follow the trend." ”
Bai Xiu said with a smile: "I don't know what the old gentleman has planned, but there are eggs under the nest, and if Hongyuan Island is destroyed, Yu'er and they are afraid that they will not be able to live." Is it worth it to let things go at the cost of her life, the lives of other people?"
He thought of Fang Xin and them, if they could survive, no matter what plan it had, let them hell with it.
The old man muttered: "You're right, there are no eggs under the nest, so I don't want to change this fact, even if Yu'er and I will die, so what, as long as the person who should live can live."
If our death can make Zaiyuan understand this truth, it will be to let the bloodline of Hongyuan Island truly continue.
And if our descendants can be optimistic about this seal of chaos for the rest of their lives, they will never again be as in turmoil and devastation in the heavens and the earth as before...... Only by letting everyone get out of the way can we have a chance to get out. ”
Bai Xiu was stunned, he didn't expect the old man to have such a plan, and couldn't help but shake his head: "The old gentleman is benevolent...... If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to do it. ”
"Young man, I know that you are concerned about the safety of Hongyuan Island, but I want to change my request, we don't need you to do anything, just stand by and watch, even if Yu'er is in danger, let her go by herself, life or death is fate. ”
Seeing that he couldn't bear it, the old man still smiled: "Actually, you still need to do something, that is, to protect yourself, if you can ensure that you go back alive, it will be the greatest kindness to me." ”
Bai Xiu's heart moved: "Which plan do you also support?"
