Chapter 1112: The Truth
Bai Jinghong said that Lin Hansheng would make a kind of puppet, that is, to control the corpse of the dead with evil magic, and at the same time imprison a wisp of remnant soul in the corpse, so that the dead can still feel that they are still alive, but they can only become half-human forever, exist in the form of a corpse, and cannot be reborn forever.
Although I don't understand what kind of evil art can do this kind of thing, but this is the case in a small country like Gobu, because it is located in the extreme, so people are very biochemical, but there are many treasures in the mountains and waters, and some people begin to study crooked ways and practice evil arts.
Lin Hansheng raised Gu because there was a kind of insect in the mountains in the territory of Gebu, and it was researched more than 100 years ago that the kind of insect could be raised as Gu to control and persecute others. This is a peerless science of the Lin family, but now the Lin family in Gebu is finished, and Lin Han is the only one left.
Bai Jinghong's voice trembled when he spoke, and his face turned pale: "Ah Ran, you don't know, I'm very afraid of being made a doll, so I don't dare to die even if I live hard." It's not that I don't have the courage to die, but I'm afraid that I will come back to life after I die, and become a tool that is neither human nor ghostly, aiding in abuse. She reached out to pull Bai Heran, but Bai Heran didn't hide, let her pull it, which made Bai Jinghong's heart feel some comfort. Ah Ran, you don't know how I've spent more than half a year, I'd really, now I'd rather go back to the water prison in the palace than be so manipulated by the Gobu people. ”
She leaned down and pressed her entire face to the back of Shirazuru's hand, tears streaming down her face.
"Ah Ran, I used to compete for fame and fortune, I wanted to climb up, and I wanted to be the mother of the phoenix. But I never thought of joining forces with the Gobu people to plague Eastern Qin. It's just that I don't have a choice, whether it's the matter of Lancheng or Tongcheng, I don't have a choice. You have also seen these days, I actually didn't do anything in the Lancheng Guard, Lin Hansheng completely controlled me, I couldn't hide, let alone escape. The more Bai Jinghong spoke, the more desperate he became, "What a proud person I was in the past, whether it was the eldest lady of the Duan family or the eldest lady of the Bai family, I lived out the envy of everyone." But now that I think about it, those days feel like a lifetime away. ”
Bai Heran listened to her words, and he was also emotional. Indeed, Bai Jinghong, the eldest lady of Baifu, was so bright and moving, so unstoppable, but now she has ended up like this, and I don't know if it is the retribution of heavenly reincarnation.
Lin Hansheng's puppet technique really surprised her, but she was not so surprised. There is this kind of thaumaturgy in the small country of Fanbang, and it has also been recorded in the ancient books of the Bai family in the past, but most of them are evil, she only sees them as stories, and she has never paid attention to them.
So when Bai Jinghong talked about puppetry, she was also listening to the story, but the next information solved her biggest doubt this year, and also confirmed that her conjecture was right.
Bai Jinghong raised his head, lowered his voice, and told her: "Ah Ran, do you know why the Ye Guo family fell in love with the Bai family and wanted to bring the Bai family together to conspire with what they thought was a great cause?" I didn't understand this when I was a child, and I even rebelled with my brother at that time, because we didn't want to leave our biological father. But when I grew up, I began to doubt one thing, that is, what was in the Bai family, which was worthy of my mother to take a pair of children and remarry. Is it just for my brother to continue the title of Duke of Wenguo? An empty lord, what is there to inherit? ”
She looked at Bai Jinghong and asked softly, "Ah Ran, have you ever thought about this question?" ”
Bai Heran nodded, "I thought about it, not only did I think about it, but I also made a guess." ”
Bai Jinghong was a little excited, "You also guessed it, right?" I know, smart as you, how could you not guess that there is something greasy in this. Unfortunately, I didn't know all this until I got to Gobu, but it was too late. You know the heirloom jade seal, right? The reason why the Duan family has been brilliant for several generations is because according to legend, they have a jade seal that has been handed down to the country, and whoever gets the jade seal can command the world. Of course, it can't be a real order, and that thing doesn't have supernatural powers, so how can anyone take it. But it is a kind of spiritual symbol, whoever holds it, will have some impact on the psychology of the people! ”
She recalled as she spoke: "When I was a child, I seemed to have heard some things about the jade seal of the country, but I was too young at that time, and even if I heard it, I couldn't remember it at all. Later, after I came to Baifu, I asked my brother, but you know my brother, eating, drinking, having fun, and doing anything else, so he doesn't know as much about these things as I do. Later, my father and my mother of the Bai family kept instilling in me that I should marry a prince they had chosen, and kept telling me that I could be the queen in the future. It wasn't until I arrived in Dongqin ......" she shuddered violently when she said this, "Ah Ran, we have all been deceived!" ”
Bai Heran also knew that she had been deceived, and there were some things she had already thought of, "The real heirloom jade seal is not in the Duan family at all, but in the Bai family, right?" It is always rumored that the Duan family has a jade seal, maybe the ancestors of the Duan family in the previous generations did have that thing, but it was lost later and fell into the hands of the Bai family, right? She smiled, "That's why the Guo Ye family fell in love with the Bai family, drew a big cake for Bai Xingyan, and took the Bai family to play such a game." It's a pity that Bai Xingyan didn't know why he was favored in the end, I was afraid that he thought he had that ability, so he should stand with the Ye Guo family! ”
Bai Jinghong also smiled bitterly, "Although he is not his biological father, but after living together for so many years, I still know what kind of person he is." The Ye Guo family is too ambitious, and they also have some skills, but our father is very average in comparison. Ah Ran, you're right, the jade seal of the country is in the Bai family, but my father doesn't know it yet. ”
Bai Jinghong took a deep breath, "I only learned about this matter after I arrived in Gebu, not to mention that my father didn't know, even the old lady didn't know." I heard Gobu Guojun say that the last time that thing appeared was held by Old Lady Bai, that is, the grandfather we have never seen. But in fact, it should have been owned by grandpa's father's generation, and when it was passed on to grandpa, it was not very discovered by the Ye Guo family and Gebu. So they poured into the Bai family one after another, and my mother even did not hesitate to take me and my brother to remarry, just to find out that thing in the Bai family.
It's a pity that the news of the Ye Guo family is still a step late, when my mother got married, the old lady was no longer there, so they have been silently looking for all these years, and they have found nothing. She suddenly laughed when she said this, "Ah Ran, let me tell you a special ironic thing, that thing was found later, but it was not really found, but its whereabouts were found out, and it was not long ago that I found out after I arrived in Gebu." And guess what, it turns out that our grandfather had a lot of foresight, and thought that it was a hot mountain stick, and it would be a scourge to leave it at home. So he didn't mention this thing to his family, as if it wasn't the same, and actually sent that thing into the palace along with the dowry when Bai Mingzhu married into the palace! ”
Bai Heran was also stunned, the old lady of the Bai family still had this operation?
"Isn't it a surprise? The royal family has always said that the thing is in the Duan family, so that all the eyes of the world are focused on the Duan family, and then the Duan family has no choice, so they dedicated the jade seal to the emperor many years ago. But how did the Duan family know that the jade seal in their hands was a fake at all, it was fake, and the real thing had long been in the hands of the emperor. The reason why it is necessary to make such a whole show is to let the people of the world see that no matter who the jade seal of the country is, as long as the court wants it, it must be handed over to me. ”
She sighed, "The emperor hasn't said anything, the Duan family doesn't know what's going on, and the Ye Guo family is like clowns jumping off the beam." The emperor watched them toss and turn, and watched them join forces with Gebu, and finally ended up ruined. Ah Ran, the old lady of the Bai family is an old fox, and our emperor is an old fox, the Duan family thought that they could protect the peace of future generations by offering the jade seal, but they didn't expect that Taiping didn't ask for it, but fell deeper and deeper in this game. Gebu always wanted to get my father's support, because the Duan family was a big family, and my father also hoarded a lot of private soldiers under his hands, but he didn't think about rebelling. It's just that I was locked up in a water prison at that time, and Gobu tempted me to save me, and he had to bow his head to Gobu in order to save me......"
When she said this, her body began to tremble again, and Hakuran asked her, "What are you afraid of?" ”
Bai Jinghong grabbed her hand again, "Ah Ran, I'm afraid of everything, you don't know, I'd rather stay in the water prison in Dongqin now, and I don't want to live outside." It's better to be alive than dead. Ah Ran, the king of Gobu, he is simply not human, even if he tosses me, he will humiliate me, and give me to one man after another. Ah Ran, you've seen me in the past, so you should be able to understand me now, right? Let me tell you, the king of Gebu is very ambitious, and he wants the whole of Eastern Qin, not two cities. A person like him can use any means, such as Gu. ”
When she said this, she reached out to her heart and frowned, "Here I am, here's a bug." Ah Ran, I didn't know until I arrived at Gebu that it was possible to plant worms in people's bodies, and the worms were not dead! ”
Bai Jinghong cried again, "It's terrible, Gebu is like an underworld, once you step in, don't think about coming out again." ”
Bai Heran grabbed her wrist, took her hand away from her heart, and without saying a word, went directly to unbutton her.
Bai Jinghong didn't resist, so she left her alone, until Bai Heran opened her front placket, she shivered, and Bai Heran saw a scar the size of a thumb nail on her heart......
