Chapter 172: Dragon Rebellion
In fact, Qing Fantasy is still to put it mildly, what a big deal the destruction of the Dragon Clan's Clear Liquid Pool is, the whole world is shocked by this matter!
The dragons settled in the vast desert, not for the flowers and trees that filled the mountains and valleys, but for the ancient dragon pool, the clear liquid pool. In the dragon clan, the legend of the clear liquid pool can be said from the dragon god and the lord god worship brothers, and it can not be said for seven days and seven nights. Of course, legends such as these are usually accompanied by stories of ups and downs. For example, in order to compete for women, brothers of different races turn against each other, until one party's aura is exhausted, and the body turns into a pool of lake, and the other party kills the red eye, and does not even let go of the 'corpse', and cuts the lake in half, half of which is left in the desert to shelter descendants, and the other half does not know where it is left behind, and so on.
At the time of the incident, the elders of the dragon clan guarding the dragon pool were also killed, and several people who stayed behind in the dragon's nest were killed, because the way those people destroyed the dragon pool was very similar to the earth-shattering explosion that occurred when the Western Xinjiang army broke through the Nanban Palace, the dragon clan first aimed their hateful eyes at the Nu clan, but soon, from the Zhongzhou army camp not far from Pingcheng at that time, a thunderous news came, and dragon meat was found in the soldiers' rice bowls!
I don't know how this news came out, or someone deliberately spread it, but when the dragon clan's silver dragon captain rushed over, he did find the snow-white dragon bones that had been scattered into a pile of skeletons from the tent of the gang leader. On second thought, the location of the dragon's nest was known only to the tribesmen, and only Lord Xi and her men had been there once. With Ye Weixi's ability, it is not ruled out that she has the power to destroy the dragon pool, but the motive?
A bunch of big dragons, small dragons, green dragons, and white dragons quarreled, but at this time, the dragon mothers who stayed in Zhongzhou and lost their beloved sons could not hold back the anger in their hearts, and spontaneously took action to attack human towns and towns, and fought with the defenders of Zhongzhou. When the news came, Ye Weixi was furious and asked the dragon clan to speak. The captain of the silver dragon immediately made a decision, and the top priority was to find the other half of the clear liquid pool that was lost in the legend before he could calm the chaos in the clan, otherwise what would he do when spring began in a few years? As for the murderers who killed this group of little dragons, it will always come to light. At this point, the dragons were divided into two factions, the remaining dragons under the banner of revenge against humanity and wreaked havoc everywhere, while the dragons who went out to fight scattered and went to all parts of the world in search of new dragon pools.
Haoyan, taking advantage of this chaos, led her Dark Owl Army to rush into the Zhongzhou military camp without the dragon clan to kill and slaughter, and then Ye Weixi was confronting Yan Zhifeng's Beihai Miscellaneous Army in the front army, if it weren't for the news from the Nanban, Zhongzhou's troop losses in this battle would only be greater.
Su Zi will know these things sooner or later, so Qing Xuan told her without much concealment, and after finishing speaking, he stared at her quietly, wanting to see how she would react?
She knew about the dragon clan's service to Ye Weixi, but she didn't expect this kind of mess to happen, but let Haoyan pick up a big bargain. As soon as she heard the news, Su Zi felt like her own power had been damaged, and she hated to come back immediately, and the soldiers and horses that killed Haoyan were in vain, and she was terrified, provided that she had the ability......
I knew with my toes that this matter must have something to do with Haoyan and Yan Zhifeng, maybe it was their conspiracy. But everything has to be evidenced, and Su Zi doesn't know much about it, how can he think of any key points... It's just that I suddenly understood the reason why Xi didn't appear for so long and didn't come to her.
In fact, if you think about it from another angle, this is not entirely a bad thing. At least Xi Ding led the troops back to Zhongzhou, and he would not have time to arrest her in the short term and find trouble with Qingfan. Compared with the loss of strength, she was more worried that one day, watching her and Qing Illusion fight for life and death, she couldn't think about it, just thinking about Su Zi made her heart tremble. It's just that Ye Weixi has always been so strong in her heart that she is invincible, Su Zi can't even imagine what she will be like after losing the battle and encountering setbacks?
After a while, her figure was a little blurry in her mind...... Looking at the snow-covered mountains in the distance, she remembered that she knelt on the snow-covered lawn, her long rainbow hair reaching the ground, and the setting sun cast a faint halo around her.
After losing his mind for a long time, Su Zicai sighed abruptly, shook his head and wanted to put these messy thoughts away, but the back of his head rubbed against the chin behind him.
Sensing that Su Zi's body stiffened, Qing Xuan also moved, and said in a low voice, "Ah Zi?"
"Yes. ”
"What are you thinking?"
"No, nothing. Su Zi's voice stammered a little, and she didn't dare to look back at her.
Qing Xuan was silent, and the sound of breathing came slowly from above her head. After a while, she supported her jaw on one elbow, leaned over her upper body and tilted her head to look at Su Zi, the expression on her face was as light as ever, but the look in her eyes made people feel a sense of oppression.
Su Zi was stared at by her uncomfortably, and always felt that her mind had already been seen through by Qing Illusion, so she quickly stretched out her arms around her neck, rubbed her neck socket with her little face, and called weakly and coquettishly: "Qing Illusion~~"
The voice was really light and soft, like a kitten, and the light of the blue illusion eyes softened, and he responded in a low voice: "Huh?"
Su Zi shook her head, rubbed her skin again, and muttered, "... It's okay. ”
Since there was nothing to do, Qing Huan would not deliberately lead her to speak, only patted her on the back lightly, and let her stay quietly in her arms.
It wasn't until Qingni came back and saw that the two were still snuggling intimately, she nodded to Qinghuan, then looked around, and asked suspiciously, "Sister Huang, where is Xiaorou?"
These words shocked Su Zi. Shu Rou has been alone for a long time to relieve his hands and leave, shouldn't something happen? Thinking of the many beasts infested in this mountain, Su Zixin was raised. The three of them hurriedly went their separate ways to find it. Fortunately, Shurou was soon found at the foot of a small dirt slope not far away. She sat on a low stump with a pale face, and her hands were covered with mud, and it turned out that she had accidentally fallen and sprained her ankle.
Can you fall like this when you go to the toilet? Su Zi was speechless. In fact, Shu Rou turned out later, and saw that Su Zi was talking to Master Phantom, so she bypassed and wanted to walk casually, maybe she could meet Xiao Nizi hunting. Who knew that she would have such a little back, sliding down the dirt slope, and she couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest.
With Qing Fantasy here, don't worry about this injury, a simple healing is enough. But Jungui's physique is weak, and the forest is damp and cold, afraid that she will get into the cold, Qingni hurriedly went to boil hot water, helped her warm up, and changed her clothes before she was relieved. After such a delay, they set off again after an hour.
Qing Fantasy thought that even if this was over, it would be fine not to ask anything. Unexpectedly, not long after hitting the road, Su Zi couldn't hold it back, and under the banner of caring about Grandpa Long, all kinds of problems came out one by one. For example: "Qing Fantasy, do you say that the legend of the dragon clan is true or false?Is there really another dragon pool?", "Who destroyed the dragon's nest?" "Grandpa rushed back to the dragon clan this time, is he going to help his people find it?, should we go and help grandpa ......?"
In the middle of the night, because they received a summons from Na Wu, they were on their way to chase them, and Qing Fantasy asked Xiao Ni to lower the bamboo strips and hastily set up camp on the leeward side of a frozen river.
The cold wind was blowing, and Shurou was sleeping in a daze, and he was directly hugged into the tent next to him by Qingni. Qing Fantasy set up an enchantment nearby, lit a fire, and entered the tent.
Su Zi's spirit was good, sitting crookedly in the set up tent, covered with a thick animal skin quilt, still pondering about it. She muttered to herself: "In other words, there were some dragons that were expelled by the clansmen before, and they were not extinct, they must have found a way to reproduce, as long as they can be found, there is a way?"
"Well, they're in a league of their own. However, that was more than a thousand years ago, and the migration was very far away, except for rumors that dragons were once in the area. ”
"That's better than believing in a myth or legend. ”
"The existence of another clear pool is not a legend, but an exact ancient document. Qing Xuan shook the robe she had taken off, folded them together, and twisted the hot handkerchief in the barrel and turned around.
"Really? but..."Watching Qing Fantasy take the jerky from her hand as a snack, wipe her hands, and then take a sharp knife out of her hand, and bow her head to trim her nails that she hadn't trimmed for a long time.
Su Zi looked at her careful and considerate actions, and was stunned for a moment before continuing to ask: "Didn't you say that the clear liquid pool is a constant temperature spring?
Qing Illusion shook his head: "The dragon pool contains a large amount of primordial magic and life essence, how can it be replaced by ordinary spring water. For several years, it is not that there are no young dragons born outside the dragon's nest, but most of them have a weak constitution and are very prone to early death. Even if you are born in the pool, if you break the shell too early or there is any deviation in the middle, there will be a situation where you will not be able to survive the infancy, or the innate magic will not be awakened. ”
Seeing that Su Zi was listening carefully, she said in a low voice: "The dragon clan is naturally strong, and on the other hand, the growth of each little dragon also has high requirements for the surrounding environment. After the baby dragon is born, it also has to stay in the nest for three years before it can be brought home by its parents, which is not as easy as you think. ”
"Alas, what should I do then?" Su Zi sighed in frustration. She originally thought that with her knowledge of modern people, it was not just to hatch eggs, maybe she could come up with a simple and feasible solution with her brain. But what the hell is that primordial magic and life essence?!
"Don't think about it, if you're not sure, grandpa won't go out of his way to make this trip, and he will bring back good news. Rubbing Su Zi's head, Qing Xuan stood up to end the topic. Thinking of the long words that grandpa said before leaving, this time it was less than half a year, and more than several years, it was very uneasy to feel at ease. told Qinghuan to come on, he must snatch Feng Jun back, and when he comes back, he will hug his little grandson and so on...... The old and the young were not worried, Qing Huan sighed with a headache, put away the knife, turned around and lifted the barrel and lifted the curtain and went out.
When she packed up and came in again, Su Ziwei hung her head and was still in a daze, and she hadn't even changed her reclining posture. Qing Xuan stared at her quietly for a long time before he gently spit out a sentence: "How is the technique learning?
Ahh
She suddenly came to her senses, sat up straight, and hugged Qing Illusion's arm and begged to learn high-level spells.
Qing Huan was slightly surprised, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Have you learned all the things you were taught before?"
Of course...... No!
But she just wants this high-level cheats to be around, even if she has a pocket in her heart, she can find it out and learn it slowly when she has time.
Seeing Su Zi shaking her arm with a rogue look, Qing Xuan shook his head and sighed, "Have you forgotten what Grandpa said?
"I know, I know. Su Zi nodded like pounding garlic, and shouted: "That won't work, now it's okay." My physique has changed, and it is stronger than before!" She was afraid that Qingyu would not believe it, so she hurriedly told her about the deep-sea mantis. Of course, about how Yan Zhifeng bullied her, Su Zi skipped it.
How do you know that after listening to her words, after the green illusion cast a spell on her, she still frowned and sulked. After a while, he said, "Got it, I've prepared it for you." ”
We have been prepared for a long time.
Seeing that she raised her hand casually, there was an extra scroll of silk cloth in the palm of her hand, Su Zi looked at her blankly, and then looked at her hand. This time she saw it clearly. Where she stretched out her hand, it was in mid-air!
However, Su Zi's attention was quickly attracted by the shiny scroll in Qing Illusion's hand, just looking at the words on it that emitted silver light with the magic book, he knew that it was extraordinary!
Seeing her look like a treasure, she couldn't wait to open it to take a closer look, Qing Fantasy opened the quilt and sat in, hugged the soft little girl and let her lean back in her arms, pointing to the lines of magic words and teaching them in detail.
If what Su Zi had learned in the past was just an introductory small spell, this volume was really an advanced tutorial that Qing Fantasy deliberately selected for her.
All kinds of high-level enchantment techniques, escape techniques, defense techniques, shield techniques, as well as spell breaking techniques, illusion techniques, pupil techniques, and even mental methods to resist the control of words and spirits are listed above. Densely packed with hundreds of lines of ghost-drawn small characters, Su Zi's eyes were spent.
“…… Do you remember the last time you attacked Yan Zhifeng, using this spell as a guide, the power will be several times stronger. ”
"Hmm," Su Zi nodded and made a note of it. The little hand moved to the next line: "What about this?"
"This is a teleportation technique, if you get lost with illusion in the future, you can use this technique to contact me. Qing Xuan paused, suddenly changed his words, and said solemnly: "However, Ah Zi, you must remember one thing, no matter what kind of spell it is, in front of people whose magic is higher than you, it is all a class with an axe." If you encounter Haoyan and others again in the future, escaping is the only way, and you must not act recklessly or recklessly...... "I scared her a lot last time!"
"Uh-huh, I know! Su Zi interrupted her perfunctorily and continued to study the following intently.
Qing Xuan lowered his eyebrows and looked at her for a long time, and sighed slightly, feeling that he was about to finish the year's breath today. She put away the scroll, picked up Su Zi and put it in the quilt next to her, turned over and overcame: "It's not early, let's study again tomorrow?"
"Well, hmm~~" The voice of response was interrupted by a deep and shallow kiss, and the slender hand reached into the fur and caressed it against the waist, and the hand was soft and delicate.
Su Zi was a little dizzy from being kissed, and when Qing Huan finally let go of her lips and reached out to lift her shirt, Su Zi hurriedly struggled and said, "Qing Huan, don't want it tonight~~"
What time is it? In a few moments it will be almost dawn. I didn't think it just now, Su Zi felt sleepy and panicked. Besides, being fed by Qing Xuan these days is too full, she won't have kidney deficiency, Su Zi can't stand it.
"And I'll lie down tonight?" Blue Phantom Eye threw out the bait with a doting touch.
"Really?!"
Su Zi's voice was crisp and loud, and she was immediately fooled. She confirmed with Qing Huan again, and after getting the promise, she suddenly got carried away with excitement, raised her hands and widened her clothes very cooperatively, and pounced towards Qing Huan.
When the bonfire outside the tent was burned out, and only a few sparks were left to glow in the dark night, I heard someone complain in a dumb voice: "Stinky Qingfan, don't believe you anymore..."
"How can Ah Zi rely on the illusion, the illusion has been lying down well. Look, your nails have been cut for you, why do you get up to bite like a dog?" Qing Huan took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat beads on her body, and replied with a low smile.
The tent was quiet for a few breaths, Su Zi glanced at the circle of tooth marks left by herself on her chest, snorted, turned over, and scolded in a small voice: "You deserve it!" The words came out, but after listening to a few moans, Su Zi felt that the circle on her back was sore as if it was about to break, and she couldn't help but inhale and shout: "Sore back, rub, rub quickly!"
"Here?"
Qing Huan smiled lazy, and Su Zizhi, who rubbed his palms comfortably, hummed, and fell asleep after a while. After a long time, when Qing Huan lay down on her side, the girl opened her eyes again, and murmured as if she remembered something: "Phantom, I still want to learn that..."
"Uh, which?" asked in a low voice in the darkness.
"That's it, you ...... just now" raised his little hand and waved it in the air twice, Su Zi didn't know how to describe it: "Portable space?
With the faint fluorescence on the lotus root's arm, Qing Fantasy could see her movements clearly. She reacted and chuckled. After laughing twice, he said: "That's the storage technique of the small magic array, Ah Zi wants to learn, you have to understand the structure of the magic array first." First of all, the drawing of the outer array diagram, I will show you how to ......"
"Aha, don't..."Su Zi was listening attentively, and suddenly Gege laughed, twisting his body and arching into a ball: "Itchy, nasty, don't draw on me... Oops, oops...... Hee-hee, haha......"
Happy days always passed quickly, and ten days later, they arrived at a large city.
In the past, across thousands of kilometers of the strait connected with the vast land of Qingzhou, as a transit point for trade with Qingzhou, this city was built very tall and majestic, the city wall of the boulder fortress city is as high as four zhang, it is connected with the mountain range, the length is more than ten miles. A river meanders its way from outside the city, and you can see a long line of women washing clothes and fetching water by the river, as well as pedestrians and vendors.
On the city gate, there are two big characters written in Liqin, 'Yicheng'.
The top of the city gate is the shape of an ancient square city tower, and the wide open city gate is full of people coming and going, and it is very lively.
In order to hide people's eyes, they changed carriages the day before yesterday. At this time, Qing Huan led Su Zi out of the carriage and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage away, taking only Qingni, Shurou, Nau and a round-faced guard slowly towards the city gate.
The front was very crowded, a huge convoy blocked the city gate, the old man of the platoon of all kinds of vehicles and mounts in the mighty convoy, followed by many handymen and travelers, the cows neighed and the horses were talking and laughing, and all kinds of mixed sounds were very noisy.
There was the cries of the itinerant vendors next to him, and a sturdy man kept shouting: "Steamed buns, fragrant steamed buns." ”
"Sugar cane, sugar cane for a penny. ”
"Fathers, folks, don't miss it when you pass by—"
In the noise and shouting, Su Zi looked left and right with great interest, took out the silver he got from Nawu in his arms, pulled Shurou, who was also staring at the food stalls and sucking saliva, and rushed over quickly.
Qing Fantasy followed behind them, and when he saw Su Zi happily running around, he stopped, and with a smile, he ordered Nawu to go into the city first to do something, planning to rest here for two days.
"Master, what about them?" Nau was referring to the rest of the high-ranking guards who were secretly following, should you let them enter the city as well?
Yicheng is unusual, it is also a very prosperous big city in Beihai, all forces gather, if the ten lords enter the city, the target is too big, it is difficult to say that it will not be discovered by the masters lurking in the city. But if you don't enter the city, the safety of your master ......
"Stay outside the city. She looked ahead and said indifferently: "This place is close to Qingzhou, there is no need to be so cautious, these two days can make them relax and relax." Xiao Ni, you will go to the priest of this city with my warrant, and let him come to me. ”
"Yes, Imperial Sister. Qingni whispered.
Hearing this, Naau's eyes widened slightly, and her face was surprised.
Of course, the priest referred to by Qing Fantasy will not be an ordinary small priest, but the high priest of the city. The high priest's power is higher than that of the lord of the country, and the high priest who gave way to the throne came to see her, and his tone was so casual, could it be that the other party had already submitted to the master?
You must know that this place in Beihai is a little different from other places, the priests are all under the control of Yunyan Pavilion, and even Lord Feng's face is not very sold. So reasoning, not only is this city basically included in the master's sphere of influence, but even Yunyan Pavilion has her influence infiltrated, when did this happen?
Nau was surprised, and suddenly realized that she was obviously not reused by her master, and she claimed to be the right hand man of the lord, but she didn't even know about such a big thing, and with a heart that was quite devastated, Nau hurriedly left to run errands.
Over there, Su Zi was looking at a person walking past her with a basket on his head and a python around his waist with a basket on his head.
These days, as they come all the way, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the people they see are slightly different. Like the people who passed by her at this time, most of them were fair-skinned and close to the white race, and there were also some brown people, similar to the Indians. But to her surprise, it was not the person who walked by, but a little boy with snow-white skin sitting in the basket. The child was only five or six years old, with a pair of bright green eyes, and he was extremely beautiful, but under his head, there was a bird's body.
The little boy with a human head and a bird body was looking around curiously just like her, and when he met Su Zi's gaze, he grinned at her, revealing that his mouth was empty and toothless, only a sharp and thin red tongue.
"Shurou, what do you see that?" Su Zi pushed Shurou next to her with her elbow and pointed it out to her. It's not that she's short-sighted, she's seen orcs of many races in the Western Frontier, but she's never seen a half-human, half-beast like a little boy.
Hearing her voice, the vendor who was crouching in front of Shurou and trading with her looked up. He glanced ahead, then grinned, "That child was born to the people of the sea and the winged people, and is barely a subspecies of the people of the sea, and there are relatively few of them, no wonder you haven't seen them." If the girl is interested, she can go to the market on the east side of the city, buy one and keep it in the house, so that she can serve you and take care of the home. ”
Hearing the peddler's introduction, Su Zi turned her head and asked curiously, "Guarding the house, does this bird child have any skills?"
"They will catch rats and snakes to eat. ”
Su Zi was choked hard and did not continue to ask. Shurou sighed on the side: "It's so beautiful...... Sure enough, there are few unsightly people of mixed blood among the people of the sea. Thinking of the Siren Serpent that had attacked her before, and looking at the beautiful little boy in front of her, it was hard to connect the two. I don't know who slept with the kraken tens of thousands of years ago, so that there were the first people of the sea? No, the lord can't have children, that is, a certain lord is too hungry and thirsty to sleep with the kraken......
Shurou was thinking wildly, while taking the paper bag handed by the vendor and opening it casually, picking up a rice crisp and throwing it into her mouth, but after seeing the vendor glance behind them, she suddenly lowered her head nervously, lowered her voice and hurriedly urged: "Girl, let's go, you are being targeted by bandits!"
As the saying goes, don't let your money be exposed. Most of the people here barter with small vendors, bringing herbs, animal skins and the like in exchange for food. But Su Zi bought it all the way, and gave it all real broken silver, and the money bag with a lot of weight was thrown in his hand, and the two girls who were dressed up ordinarily and were not very conspicuous attracted the attention of some people.
With the sound of evasive footsteps all around, a group of about twenty beggar-like men, dressed in tatters, with dirty hair, emerged from the grove next to them, they did not look very professional, and one of them held an axe that was crumbling on the wooden handle, and before he could open his mouth to shout, the axe rolled from the joint to the ground, and smashed him to jump on one foot with one foot.
This gang of ruffians and robbers are simply homeless people who are too poor to eat, and none of them know martial arts, and the way they hold their swords is also very jerky, "Hurry up! Not... Otherwise, I'll kill you!" a bandit threatened, and stretched out his long knife to point at Shu Rou and Su Zi.
In broad daylight, it was still a place where the flow of people was dense in front of the city gate, and he actually dared to rob blatantly! As soon as the bandit leader finished speaking, a gust of wind blew, Su Zi pointed his finger into a sword, and the internal force was released, and he easily split the long knife in the robber's hand neatly into two from the middle, and the bandit leader screamed in horror and dropped the handle of the knife, and he even cracked the bones of his hand.
Afraid that they would frighten Shurou, Su Zi was not polite when she made a move, "Run!" The bandit leader gave an order without hesitation, and in a blink of an eye, more than two dozen people scattered and fled, they were all ordinary people, knowing that the little girl was skilled, it was not for them to provoke, who would be stupid to continue to rob?
There was a boo from the crowd watching the excitement, and some people shouted and scolded angrily, and it sounded like this group of people had robbed the local people outside the city.
The leader of the robbers was also unlucky, and the direction of the escape happened to hit the oncoming Qing Illusion, Xu was disgusted that his face was too sloppy, and his hands were dirty, Qing Fantasy only stretched out his legs and stomped on him, the man lost his balance and fell to the ground, and the vest was stepped on again, and he immediately collapsed half-dead.
There was another cheer from the crowd, but this time the commotion soon subsided, and a teenager was seen squeezing into the crowd.
As soon as he appeared, the onlookers who were still eating melons and watching the play immediately closed the stalls and left.
The boy had just been napping with a long stick against a big tree on the side of the road, and he didn't wake him up even when he made such a big noise, and finally a fleeing bandit turned around and woke him up, and pulled him over to save his life.
He couldn't figure out the situation yet, so as soon as he squeezed in, he yelled vigorously: "His grandmother's, who is not going to die-"
Halfway through the roar, the young man's voice suddenly became hoarse in his throat, and the momentum of the forward rush slowed down, and a suspicious red cloud floated on his cheeks, really because Qing Huan's appearance was too beautiful!
The long soft golden hair was folded and shiny in the sun, tied behind him with only a ribbon, the blue slim robe, a mink cape in his hand, the clear blue eyes were inlaid on the face as elegant as white jade, and the red lips were as moist as dyed honey, if it weren't for the cold eyes, he almost thought that this was a delicate and noble woman at all.
Looked at by Qing Huan lightly, the young man came back to his senses, he coughed in shame, regained his spirits, and shouted solemnly: "Move your feet away, this beam will be revealed, or you go and ask someone to inquire whose boundary is this!"
"Jue Gui?" Qing Xuan narrowed his eyes, and really threw away the bandit leader on the ground and walked in front of Su Zi, and tied the cloak in his hand to her. Although he didn't feel the pheromones of the other party, and he didn't know how many people were there, the jazz boy's intuition told him that this woman was not easy to deal with, so he put away the embarrassed look, clutched the long wooden stick in his hand, and stared at Qing Illusion for a moment.
However, everything ended too quickly, and the wooden stick in the young man's hand flew out with a snap, and his whole body was also thrown to the ground sideways, which was the result of Qingni's mercy.
