Chapter 152: Broken Line
"Grandpa," Qi suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "Who are you?"
Lao Suo still smiled: "I am destined for you." When the time comes, you'll know who I am. Please refrain from talking to outsiders about the content of your conversation today. ”
Abandon the original way and quit, silent all the way.
"Abandon brother, are you still thinking about those questions?" Seeing that he was a little sullen, Zhi smiled.
"Well," abandon and don't hide it, "Sister Zhi, just now that grandpa said that you have a 'broken thread' in your hand, but what is it?"
"That's what you're thinking about," Zhila sat down in the middle of the room, "but the matter has to start with the green jade burning." ”
"After the calamity, King Xuanyuan was injured and fell asleep, and the Xuanyuan Department began to look for the real culprit behind the scenes, and the first clue was the green jade burning. Soon, Ji Kangtai made a list, and one of them caught our attention, and he was Wang Sun Shouma. ”
"Shou Ma Gongzi was originally the most beloved grandson of King Xuanyuan, and he was smart and benevolent since he was a child. At the age of seven, he got a chance. On that day, a mother-in-law fainted on the street with hunger, Shou Ma went out to play, happened to pass by there, so he stuffed the naan in his hand into the mother-in-law's hand. The mother-in-law woke up suddenly, smiled and finished eating the cake, took out a knife from her arms, and gave it back to Shouma. ”
"Could it be the 'broken shadow'?" asked unconsciously.
"Exactly!" Zhi nodded, "That 'Broken Shadow' is an artifact, Shou Ma loves it very much, and he plays with it day and night, and he has no teacher to understand all kinds of magical powers from it." ”
"It's a pity," sighed, "when he was sixteen years old, King Xuanyuan took him on a trip to Yaochi, hoping to open his eyes and make more friends among the various clans. Who knows, he has since embarked on a road of no return. This incident is still a sigh of relief......"
I heard Lao Su also mention this place, and it seems that this is the place where the Queen Mother of the West met with the leaders of various tribes. Abandon the meditation in my heart: This Yao Chi is extremely beautiful when you hear the name, who knows that it is a place of right and wrong.
"It's just because at the Yaochi meeting that year, he saw a woman. Zhikun smiled and shook his head, "Her name is Qingluan!"
"This Qingluan is a woman of the Yu tribe who was specially invited by the Queen Mother of the West to dance for the leaders of various tribes. I have never seen the Qingluan dance, but everyone who has seen it says that it is a gift from God, and it is a blessing that can only be cultivated in a few lifetimes. "I know that I am a little fascinated.
"Her dancing is indescribable. Not only because of her peerless appearance and superb skills, but because it is no longer a dance, but a world she creates through dance. There are her mountains and seas, spring breeze and autumn rain, joys and sorrows, feelings and hatreds, which are integrated into her love, hope and life. Since the first time I saw her dance, I was deeply attracted by her, immersed in her world, and could no longer extricate myself. ”
Is there such a dance in this world? I was secretly surprised in my heart, and whispered the name "Qingluan" in my heart.
"That Qingluan just regarded Gongzi as a confidant and friend, and didn't think about anything else. Shou Ma Gongzi fell in love with her all the time. Regardless of the fact that she only wants to follow her, she is not far away, often going back and forth between Yunya and Heluo. Until one day, Qingluan suddenly came to look for his son. I don't know what she said to Childe, but Childe actually took her to Jikangtai. ”
"Jikangtai is a top-secret place for brewing green jade ware, and ordinary people can't enter and exit it at all. Coincidentally, the person in charge of brewing in Taichung is the uncle of Childe's mother, and he has loved Childe since he was a child. Gongzi was originally a royal family, and with this relationship, he easily mixed into Jikangtai with Qingluan, and did something in the green jade burning. ”
"You already know what happened after that. Zhi paused for a moment, "I'll follow the clues to investigate thoroughly, since Shou Ma Gongzi was instigated by this Qingluan, our eyes naturally focused on Qingluan." It's a pity that Qingluan suddenly disappeared after the gloomy disaster. We searched the world of floating ruins, but we found no trace of her. Rumor has it that she died that day. ”
Hearing this, for some reason, I suddenly felt a sense of regret in my heart.
"Seeing that the clue has been broken and it is difficult to track down, things have suddenly taken a turn for the better. Zhi continued, "A proverb began to circulate on the land of the floating ruins: Xuanzhu has an image, Taiyi returns to the truth, calls on the gods, and all obey orders. ”
What does this have to do with the "broken line"? Abandon the curiosity in my heart, only stare at the eyes of knowledge, and listen quietly.
"King Xuanyuan brought back a bead from the empty mountain that day, and the world guessed that it was the 'Xuanzhu'. Speaking of this pearl, Zhi paused, "I have seen that pearl with my own eyes, there is nothing special about it, and it is not even as round and lustrous as ordinary pearls." But ......"
She stopped suddenly, with a shallow smile on her face, as if caught in some kind of memory.
After waiting for a while, he felt something abnormal, and called softly: "Sister Zhi-"
I woke up suddenly, and I was in a trance: "We've just gotten to where we've just got?"
My sister said of the beads. ”
"Oh, the bead," for some reason, Zhi's face turned red, "the bead was placed in the inner palace of the royal city, closely guarded, and guarded by a magic circle, but it was still stolen by someone. ”
The theft of the beads was already known, and what he was curious about was what happened after the theft. So he asked directly: "Sister Zhi, I know that the bead was deliberately stolen by Shou Ma Gongzi." Only Grandpa said that he was also instructed by others. Could it be that the person who instructed him to steal the pearls is still the woman named Qingluan?"
"That's not it!" was asked by him, but he regained his calm, "We only secretly monitor Shou Ma Gongzi every day, and we found that Gongzi looked haggard, but there was nothing unusual in his behavior, just running around, and it seemed that he was constantly looking for the whereabouts of that Qingluan. Suddenly, one day, a man in Xuanyi appeared in front of Childe. ”
The man seemed to know a lot about the matter between Gongzi and Qingluan, and on the condition of informing Qingluan's whereabouts, he asked Gongzi to steal the Xuanzhu. Childe really obeyed the man's instructions and stole Xuanzhu. In order to dispel the suspicion of the outside world, we deliberately led him to blame the cicada slave and beat the cicada slave into the void crack of the sunken field. I didn't expect that this cicada slave's obsession would travel through thousands of years, and he has been looking for the pearl ......"
Hearing this, he felt a little sour in his heart: In this way, the cicada slave was very pitiful, no wonder she was so angry when she saw Shou Ma that day. She was wrong to think that this Shouma was the person who harmed her, but in fact, their identities were no different, they were just pawns that were played with at will.
Hearing her mention the word "obsession" again, she suddenly remembered the "old witch" hiding in Xuan Yuan's body, and unconsciously took a deep look at Zhi: Could it be that this sister Zhizhi also left an obsession and looked for her beloved things in the future world......
Abandon the ups and downs of his heart, but he didn't notice it, and only continued to say: "Gongzi came to the agreed place with the bead, and the Xuanyi man appeared, but told Gongzi: Qingluan is no longer alive. Then he asked Childe for the pearl, Childe was extremely disappointed and didn't believe it, how could he be willing to give it? But it turned out that our clan had already set up a magic circle there, just to capture the Xuanyi man. ”
"That Xuanyi person's cultivation is extremely high, but my Xuanyuan clan's formation is so powerful, after a fierce battle, seeing that he is not going to support it, he suddenly held Shou Ma trapped in the formation together. Shou Ma has a special identity, he originally thought that everyone would throw a rat bogey, but he knew that in the eyes of the people who set up the formation, Shou Ma was already a pawn crossing the river and could not turn back, so he had no scruples, but urged the formation to defeat him. ”
In addition to the shock of the Xuanyi people, Shou Ma Gongzi was extremely sad. The magic circle shrank a little, and when he saw that he was about to take them into his pocket, a dazzling burst of bright light suddenly erupted in the array, and the magic circle was actually broken. When they entered the formation again, they only saw a bloodstain, and both of them had disappeared. We followed the wounded man, and came to the deserted land in the mountains. The terrain of the mountain was complicated, and there were all kinds of strange beasts entrenched, and he soon lost his trace. I don't know if it was Shou Ma Gongzi or the Xuanyi man who was injured. ”
Speaking of this, Zhi glanced at him: "Listen to you, but in the hot spring on the snowfield, I saw the figure of the son again?"
"All I saw was a cloud of black gas with teeth and claws, and I don't know if it was the Shou Ma Gongzi. "But the 'broken shadow' really appeared in its hands." ”
"Well," Zhi nodded, "so it seems that Gongzi did not die that day, but only hid his body. I don't know what method he used to send himself to a thousand years later. ”
Qi suddenly remembered something: "When I was taken captive by the cicada slave to this floating ruin world, the exit seemed to be in the place of exile. ”
"Qingluan, Shouma, and Xuanyi are nowhere to be found, and Xuanzhu is also missing, only a clue is left in Buzhou Mountain, but Buzhou Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, where should I go to find it? I searched for sixteen years, but found almost nothing. Zhi sighed, looked at it, and his eyes shone brightly, "But with you coming to the Floating Ruins World, it is very likely that you will bring new clues." ”
"Why?" asked Desert, looking up.
"It's because of the power that is sealed up in you. When you appeared that day, you were suddenly hunted down by the Dark Clan, and even alarmed the Celestial Clan, it is very likely that they have sensed the hidden power in your body, and they want to strike first and take that power for themselves. How could the person who caused the gloom back then be indifferent? I'm afraid that he will already have his eyes on you!"
When did she find out that I had the seal, and when did I become the new bait?
"If you and you are really two rays of light that flew out of the empty mountain that day, and now that you are possessed by you, you are the only person in the world who has anything to do with that proverb. ”
Again, the proverb was a little disgusted, "But a proverb, who knows whether it is true or not? ”
"You're right! Yes or no, I'm afraid you won't know until you find the pearl. "I am afraid that we will have to go on the same path again, and go to the place of exile again." ”
