The night air was silent, and the autumn moonlight fell quietly on the ground, white as frost, cold and blurry, illuminating whose past and despair of the past.

After a long time, Qiu Yebai said softly: "You are a very good and very good master, you have done your best, Father-in-law Zhen." ”

Or rather, a father.

Lao Zhen raised his somewhat cloudy eyes and looked at Qiu Yebai, and then chuckled dryly: "The world is impermanent, and the most desperate thing in our family is to watch the child in the palm of his hand being pushed into hell again and again, and then witnessing his incompetence again and again, all his best efforts can't withstand a final result." ”

Akiba Bai was silent, yes, who understands better than her that many things in this world are actually the most important results.

She didn't want to watch a 'father' indulge in this kind of despair, Lao Zhen reminded her of her master, the old man who was always smiling, fairy-winded, and eclectic, giving her a new hope for survival in this world and another world.

So, she decided to change the subject: "I don't quite understand, what is the relationship between corpse incense and incense ceremony?" ”

Lao Zhen cleaned up his feelings, and then said hoarsely: "The so-called fragrant smell in the world is just a kind of taste, which is a strange spice from Tianzhu, and it is also the most special and rare strange flower in Tianzhu, and its particularity is that it can use the strong and poisonous smell as the source of taste to derive a more bizarre fragrance, so it is mostly used for preservatives." ”

"And the Shingon Palace originated in Tianzhu, using a special method to lure and confuse people's minds of drugs and spices in the meantime, spices and drugs are as many as a thousand kinds, the fragrance is strange and beautiful, used to manipulate people's hearts and people's traces, and this kind of fragrance is born in the rot to poison, to defeat to evil, so the name is corpse incense, the burial of the palace masters and countless 'spirit children' of the underground palace is the most suitable, there are many special antiseptic spices in it."

"And the place where the spirit children themselves were born is the underground palace, and in the long run, they will naturally be impregnated with that strange fragrance on their bodies and bones and blood, right?" Autumn leaves said in a deep voice.

"Exactly." Lao Zhen nodded.

Qiu Yebai shook his head and frowned slightly: "But if this is the case for a long time, it will definitely have great damage to people's bodies, I think Ah Chu and Ah Ze's eyes and hair will be so weird, is it because they have been in the underground palace for a long time?" ”

The muscles on Lao Zhen's face twitched slightly, he gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, because he hasn't seen the light of day for a long time, Ah Chu's body is forced to adapt to hunting and acting like a beast in the dark, and he has eaten too many terrible things in the underground palace in order to survive, and he has also been poisoned many times, although the strange corpse incense of Shingon Palace and the palace master used various drugs to unravel and suppress the toxicity in his body, but too many strange deposition toxins still made Ah Chu's eyes slowly become that terrifying look, and his appearance has become inhuman, ghost and ghost, But the people of Shingon Palace were satisfied! ”

Akiba white eyes flashed with coldness, yes, how could the people of Shingon Palace not be satisfied, what they originally wanted was that kind of inhuman 'god and Buddha', watching the living people being transformed and distorted by them into that shape, they naturally felt that this was the manifestation of a miracle.

But in fact, if she hadn't guessed wrong, Baili Chu's eyes might still be because she had been in the dark for a long time, in order to adapt to the darkness, her pupils gradually dilated, coupled with the effect of special drugs, gradually became that kind of treacherous and terrifying appearance, and the same is true for her hair to turn white, and many of the creatures that have been pure in the dark for a long time are transparent and white.

Lao Zhen listened to Qiu Yebai's analysis and hesitated for a moment: "This is the first time we have heard of it, but what you said also has some truth, it's just ......." ”

He sighed: "No matter what, Your Highness will never look like an ordinary person. ”

Qiu Yebai was silent for a while, and said lightly: No matter what he looks like, in your eyes, he is the child you brought up, isn't it, not to mention that his background is destined to be extraordinary in his life. “

Lao Zhen was stunned, and then his expression softened slightly: "Yes, no matter what he becomes, in the eyes of our family, he is the little baby who called our master back then." “

Qiu Yebai looked at Lao Zhen and smiled slightly: "Yes, father-in-law, I still don't understand a little, if Ah Chu has become a 'spirit child' at the age of thirteen, why did he become a national teacher at the age of sixteen?" “

Lao Zhen said: "That's because after the death of the previous national teacher, a new spirit boy will take the throne, and before that, ......." “

He paused, and his expression became gloomy again: "And before that, although the spirit boy has been selected, he still has to 'practice' in the underground palace until he becomes the new national teacher. “

Autumn leaves sighed secretly, that is, Baili Chu and Yuan Ze suffered for another three more years.

But...... "I once heard that the princess of the regent returned to the palace at the age of thirteen, is there any reason for this?" This is also what she doesn't understand after listening to it for so long.

Lao Zhen said coldly: "That's because His Majesty heard that Ah Chu had become a reincarnated spirit child after 'successfully bestowing incense', so he couldn't wait to summon him." “

After summoning his beloved son, after discovering the terrible truth, he also sent his beloved son back to the hell of Shingon Palace?

Hearing this, the corners of Akiba's lips pulled contemptuously, she really felt that the heart of this emperor's beloved son was really 'great' and forbearing.

Then, she hesitated: "But what if all the children can't survive the incense ceremony?" “

The kind of incense ritual that is as cruel as nurturing Gu worms completely tears and distorts human nature, and it is a miracle that it can shape a distorted 'Great Freedom Heaven' or 'Shiva God', and she thinks it is more likely to produce a madman.

Lao Zhen's eyes became more and more gloomy: "That's right, there is indeed such a possibility, but there has never been a shortage of abducted or sold children in the Shingon Palace, and if a hundred children can't do it, then two hundred, three hundred...... There are always those who can survive to the end, as for whether they are crazy or not, as long as they look normal, and can perfectly express the miracle of 'Great Freedom in Heaven', and can be manipulated, this is enough, Ah Chu is almost the most perfect god who has expressed 'Great Freedom in Heaven' since so many national teachers in Shingon Palace. “

A chill flashed in Autumn Leaves' white eyes, such a presence in the Shingon Palace is simply a cult, if they are a sect in the martial arts, then neither the underworld nor the white way will tolerate it, they have already been expelled from the Central Plains, or directly exterminated the sect.

Lao Zhen suddenly looked at Qiu Yebai: "Lord Qiu, our family only wants to ask you for one thing." “

Qiu Yebai looked at Lao Zhen's serious appearance, and suddenly 'chuckled' in her heart, she was a little uneasy, but she said quietly on her face: "What do you want to say, just say it?" “

Lao Zhen was a human spirit, and he still saw her apprehension, so he sighed lightly: "Our family asks you to accept Ah Chu, and our family only asks you to give Ah Chu a chance." “

Autumn leaves were stunned, and his eyes swept over the delicate faces of the people around him who were as pale as snow, and his expression was a little complicated. "Our family knows that Ah Chu is different from Aze, he doesn't have Aze's gentleness and mellowness, and maybe he has a ...... It's not so pleasing, but Ah Chu and Aze are one person after all, they are just forcibly divided into two souls, and they can never be separated from each other. “

Lao Zhen got up, walked to the window, and looked at the bright moon outside the window: "Just like this month, there is yin and there is light, at the beginning, Ah Chu is Aze, he has always been unwilling to become that kind of terrible monster, he has nightmares every day, he almost can't survive, and he becomes an eliminated child, until one day, when our family taught him to chant, he completely collapsed, and when he woke up again, he ......." “

He paused, and said gloomily: "Aze is still simple and clean, but Achu appeared, or maybe he has always been there, but he never made a sound, but from that day on, he silently disposed of all the things that Aze couldn't do, and ...... from then on." “

Lao Zhen didn't speak again, just sighed deeply, and his back looked unusually old and rickety.

Since then, it has been unstoppable, and no one can stop it.

Akiba Bai silently added to herself, she could imagine the appearance of meeting gods and killing gods in the underground palace of Shingon Palace after he appeared at the beginning of Baili, and his strange habits, and the aura that always made people feel extremely dark and terrifying, all came from the fact that he was originally a hunting demon who wanted to survive in the dark night. "Who in the world wouldn't love such a clean and pure Aze? And who wouldn't be afraid of the ruthless and moody Ah Chu, but, who can understand that they have always been one and the same, my lord, if you really have three true feelings for Aze, can you also give Ah Chu a true meaning? “

Lao Zhen's words made Qiu Yebai silent, a little confused in her heart, and it was extremely complicated, she finally nodded gently: "Okay." “

And when she realized what she had answered, her face was a little strange.

When Lao Zhen heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at Qiu Yebai in surprise, and then turned back a few steps with some excitement: "Are you serious?" “

Qiu Yebai looked at Lao Zhen's appearance, her eyes fell on Bailichu's pale face, and she sighed lightly: "Naturally, take it seriously." “

Father-in-law Zhen is not wrong, if she really had three true feelings for Aze, why can't she give more true feelings to Aze.

She's not such a shallow person, let alone ......

She looked at Bailichu's sweaty sideburns, and her mind inexplicably flashed that day in Huainan, the moment she stretched out her hand to make hairpins for his sideburns, he looked at his appearance in amazement, the moment the two looked at each other, shoulders missed each other, and the moment she was separated by the rolling flow of people, she couldn't deceive herself, at that moment, the melancholy and melancholy flashed in her heart.

Then, she paused, and then asked again: "Father-in-law Zhen, can I ask you a question, Your Highness, who hates women...... How did it come about? “

Although after that night, she was ...... It is believed that his illness is cured.

Gonggong Zhen was silent for a while, and smiled slightly: "If the adults are really willing to give Ah Chu a chance, it's good for you to ask him in person, our family knows that you must still have a lot of questions, but our family believes that whether it is Ah Ze or Ah Chu, they are willing to solve your doubts." “

Qiu Yebai looked at Grandpa Zhen, and finally nodded: "Okay." “

Father-in-law Zhen smiled, then got up and gave her a deep look: "Then there is Lord Lao Qiu here." “

Qiu Yebai was stunned for a moment, looking at Father-in-law Zhen's appearance, he always felt that his old man was a bit of a snake with a stick, but she finally promised to take care of Bailichu.

After all, she was the one who hurt Bailichu, and she was the one who made Bailichu become like this.

……

Father-in-law Zhen helped Qiu Yebai change his clothes for Baili Chu, who was constantly sweating in a coma, and he withdrew from the door with those dirty clothes and walked towards the courtyard.

He handed over the things to Hewei at will, and was about to give him an order, when he saw Shuangbai and Yibai coming in from outside the courtyard, Yibai was holding a long sword in his hand, and Shuangbai was holding medicine in his hand. "All taken care of?" Father-in-law Zhen looked at them, and his expression had regained his usual smiling appearance.

Yibai nodded, and put the sword back into the sheath: "Yiqiē has been dealt with properly, and no one will know that we have been to the celebrant tonight." “

Today's movement is too big, and it is very difficult to deal with certain things.

Gonggong Zhen nodded: "Don't make trouble for Lord Qiu, make trouble for Lord Qiu, even if you make trouble for Your Highness, you will also cause trouble for ourselves." “

Yibai nodded: "Don't worry." “

Shuangbai caught a sharp glimpse of Grandpa Zhen's slightly reddened eyes, he hesitated for a while, and looked at Grandpa Zhen: "You have already told Lord Qiu about His Highness?" “

Father-in-law Zhen nodded: "Seven or eight out of ten." “

Shuangbai shook his head, a little disapproving: "If Your Highness wants Lord Qiu to know about him, he will be more willing to say it yourself, is the method you used this time a little ......." "Something, something?" Father-in-law Zhen suddenly looked cold, and the corners of his lips curled: "With methods like you little cubs, how can you ever relieve His Highness's worries in this matter?" “

Shuangbai frowned slightly and shook his head: "Master Mingwu ......." "There are no enlightened masters here." Gong Zhen became more and more cold, turned around and stood with his hands in his hands: "Our family's heart has long been in this mortal dust, greedy and hateful, naturally it is not suitable to serve the Buddha, our family has been out of Buddhism for many years, and we have been in the palace to serve His Highness for many years. “

He paused, and continued to say coldly: "Since our family is already a member of the Mingguang Palace, we naturally have to think about Your Highness and relieve your worries, what Your Highness wants and who you want, our family will use every means to let Your Highness get, repay, do and wish!" “

After he finished speaking word by word, his expression slowly swept his eyes to Yibai and Shuangbai with a gloomy expression: "This is our family's code of conduct." “

With that, he brushed his sleeves away.

Yibai and Shuangbai and the others looked at each other, and then fell silent.

……*……*……*

Autumn leaves were half leaning quietly on the head of the bed, looking at Bai Lichu, who had changed into clothes and seemed to have calmed down a lot, she stretched out her fingertips and slowly traced his lips from his eyebrows and eyes.
