Chapter 59: Three Sacrifices
Then, Ji Wan'er remembered that Bai Ningxi had broken into the city lord's mansion and kidnapped him before, but he didn't expect that she still had such a powerful cultivation, Ji Wan'er was very sympathetic to Bai Ningxi's experience, so he didn't have a tone of blame when he talked about this matter, but he was still a little angry when he talked about it, but Ji Wan'er comforted him, saying that he was fine, and later, he was also Han Yanchen who escorted him all the way back to Beiban.
Thinking about it carefully, Ji Wan'er has never seen a woman as domineering and awe-inspiring as Bai Ningxi, which makes her very envious, from childhood to adulthood, the person she envies and admires the most is only her father, if she has the opportunity, she would like to see Bai Ningxi.
But it's useless, Nan Kongqian said, she's dead.
Why? Ji Wan'er was shocked, but Nankong Qian said that it was because of the Six Mountains and Six Stars, Bai Ningxi, who became the sacrifice of the Six Mountains and Six Stars, and no matter what, it was impossible to escape death.
After that, Ji Wan'er also lowered his eyes slightly sadly, and said in the south sky, what Han Yanchen is doing now is not quite like his style of acting, perhaps, after Bai Ningxi died, he went crazy, so he wanted to take revenge desperately, deal with the Northern Barbarians, deal with the six mountain ranges, and want to destroy the six mountains and six stars.
Nankong looked at the night sky, but casually mentioned it, Ji Wan'er's eyes suddenly lit up, "That is to say, if Sister Bai Ningxi comes back to life, he will not attack the human world again, right?"
And Nan Kongqian didn't see the light in Ji Wan'er's eyes, only thought she was joking, and glanced back at her, "What do you think! People can't be resurrected after death, not to mention that she is a sacrifice of the six mountains and six stars, and she is destined to die." β
"Not necessarily. Ji Wan'er suddenly propped up his chin, and Nan Kongqian also sensed something wrong from her tone at this time, he turned his head suddenly, staring at Ji Wan'er incredulously, with a surprised expression, "What do you mean? Do you have a way to bring Bai Ningxi back from the dead?"
Ji Wan'er shook his head, "That's not true, it's just that I think the Six Mountains and Six Stars are a very mysterious existence, I think, there must be some law in it, do you know? I once heard my father and mother talk about it, in fact, the Six Mountains and Six Stars are not such a terrible thing, even if it becomes a sacrifice, it is not necessary to die." β
"What do you mean?" Nan Kong frowned.
Ji Wan'er was asked by Nankong Qian, and began to think about it seriously in her mind, she said while recalling: "I remember that my father and mother said before that the two holy envoys of the Pupil Gate used to be the sacrifice of the Six Mountains and Six Stars, but after they sacrificed, they returned to the Pupil Gate and continued to guard the Pupil Gate, as if nothing had happened, the reason why they were alive was because they sacrificed the Six Mountains and Six Stars with a drop of their own blood every day, although later, they still died in the hands of the people of the Demon Realm.
Also, I remember the last time the six mountains and six stars happened, it only took five lives, there was still one sacrificial person left, everyone didn't know who it was, and then it was my father, that is, the city lord of Zaikkong City at that time, he took the entire people of the Northern Barbarians to kowtow to the six mountain ranges of the Northern Barbarians, no one knew what they were memorializing, listening to my father, it seemed to be a natural consciousness, I think, the sixth person at that time, should have survived.
Although the Six Mountains and Six Stars came very suddenly this time, except for the death of Sister Bai Ningxi you said, I haven't heard of anyone sacrificing to the Six Mountains and Six Stars this time, the Six Mountains and Six Stars are a major event in the Northern Barbarians, although few people don't remember or know about it, but if someone really sacrifices, my father and my mother can't not know. β
"What?" Nankong was shocked, listening to Ji Wan'er say so much in one breath, he also suddenly remembered that when he was controlled by Bai Ningxi before, he also saw things about the six mountains and six stars with the Dusheng mirror, but his consciousness was uncontrollable at that time, so those things also became blurry after he regained his senses, and he couldn't remember it for a while.
But when Ji Wan'er said this, he remembered something, the Holy Envoy of the Pupil Gate did indeed become the sacrifice of the Six Mountains and Six Stars and lived back from the dead for a long time, and the third Six Mountains and Six Stars did indeed only take five lives, he didn't think about it so much at the time, but now that he thinks about it carefully, this matter seems to be a little weird.
"Could it be that the Six Mountains and Six Stars have only appeared three times from beginning to end, and this time Bai Ningxi's death is only because the third Six Mountains and Six Stars still have a human life, so they appeared this time and took Bai Ningxi away?"
"Then you mean that the person who was supposed to sacrifice for the third time escaped, and then transferred the fate of the sacrifice of the six mountains and six stars to someone else?" Ji Wan'er suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the idea that flashed in his mind couldn't help blurting out, and when the words fell, Nan Kongqian suddenly looked shocked, "You mean, the fate of the six mountains and six stars can be transferred?"
Nankong looked at Ji Wan'er incredulously, but where did Ji Wan'er know! She looked dazed, "I just thought of this along your mind, I don't know, but I think what you said is very reasonable, six mountains and six stars, maybe it has only appeared three times since the beginning, and Bai Ningxi's sister's death may really be related to the person who survived the sacrifice for the third time." β
Hearing this, Nankong suddenly lowered his eyes, "But the six mountains and six stars are the will of heaven, and the people who sacrifice are the mandate of heaven, who in this world can have such a powerful ability to escape the will of heaven and the mandate of heaven?"
Ji Wan'er also fell into deep thought, and after thinking about it, Nankong also felt that this matter was very strange, who was the person who survived the third Six Mountains and Six Stars? He was puzzled, and unconsciously, the idea of urging the Du Sheng Mirror appeared in his mind again...... But no! Nankong shook his head slightly, until the critical moment, he must not be able to urge the Dusheng mirror so easily!
He tried his best to restrain himself, and then chatted with Ji Wan'er, wanting to divert his attention, he asked Ji Wan'er, "By the way, do you remember when the third Six Mountains and Six Stars was?"
"About a hundred years ago. Ji Wan'er could only speculate, she thought that Nan Kongqian had thought of something, and hurriedly asked him, "What's wrong?
Nankong shook his head lightly, and glanced at her gently and angrily, "I wasn't born more than a hundred years ago, who can I think of?"
When the words fell, Ji Wan'er sneered, Nan Kongqian looked at her lovely smile, and the originally depressed mood suddenly brightened, the two sat and chatted for a while, and then saw that the night was dark, Nan Kongqian planned to send Ji Wan'er back to rest, the moment he got up, Ji Wan'er suddenly had a whim, turned to look at Nan Kongqian, and couldn't help blurting out the question in his heart-
"Nankong shallow, you say, what if I become a sacrifice of the six mountains and six stars one day?"
"There won't be a day. Although he knew that Ji Wan'er was joking, Nan Kongqian still answered her very seriously, Ji Wan'er smiled slightly, and said, "I mean if, if, I really become a sacrifice?"
"Then I will spare no effort to help you crack the fate of the six mountains and six stars, and then replace you and become a sacrifice. β
And then in your place...... Become a sacrifice......
This sentence was said by Han Yanchen to Bai Ningxi in his dream, it was his promise to her, he held her hand, it felt so real, the feeling of being lost and regained, made his whole person feel very incredible, he left that dark and gloomy place with Ning Xi, they fled together, flew over mountains and rivers, through day and night, as if they had reached the end of the world.
It was a quiet and beautiful night, Ning Xi quietly snuggled in his arms, the two sat under a big tree, quietly watching the moonlight, and the few stars in the night sky, Bai Ning Xi counted the stars one by one, like a child, and Han Yanchen gently hugged her, the corners of her mouth were full of spoiling.
"There are six of them. She said.
Han Yanchen didn't hear clearly for a while, "What?"
"I said, "There are six stars in the sky." β
Six ...... Six-star ...... Six Mountains and Six Stars...... Ning Xi ...... These words suddenly appeared in Han Yanchen's mind, just when he came back to his senses, the woman in his arms suddenly disappeared like dust, Han Yanchen's heart was shocked, and the whole person began to panic, he kept shouting, kept searching, but between heaven and earth suddenly began to rotate and roll, Han Yanchen was in it, and soon he was swallowed up by this sudden darkness, even he didn't know where he was, until he noticed a trace of coldness in his hand, he slowly opened his eyes, and at that moment, what came into view was the ceiling of the Dust Palaceγ
And beside him was Yunxing, who was sitting on the edge of the jade couch and instilling spiritual energy in him.
"You're awake, Father. Yun Xing saw Han Yanchen open his eyes and woke up, and greeted loudly, his tone was a little flat, but it seemed to be a little sad, Han Yanchen slowly sat up from the soft stone jade couch when he heard the words, and in the huge dust hall, only Yun Xing was alone, Han Yanchen was very puzzled, "Why are you alone, and the others?"
"I let them go down, for fear of disturbing my father's rest. Yun Xing's tone was still flat, Han Yanchen noticed Yun Xing's indifferent tone, he was a little puzzled, so he asked him directly, "What's wrong with you?"
Yun Xing looked at Han Yanchen, looking like he wanted to say and stopped, Han Yanchen thought that he was seriously injured, so he hurriedly checked his body, to his surprise, he was fine, so he looked at Yun Xing, his expression was even more puzzled, "What's wrong with you? I used to look lively and cheerful in front of me, how did you suddenly become so indifferent?"
Yun Xing lowered his eyes and was silent, and there seemed to be a trace of grievance at the corner of his mouth.
"Bullied in the human world?" asked Han Yanchen.
