Chapter 242: It's all fate
Bai Tang accompanied Lin Xi for two days, but Lin Xi did not show anything abnormal in these two days, except for the wrong mouth.
Even Yakaranzhu, who was still grounded in the house, only mentioned two sentences, and did not mention it again when he learned that the other party was grounded by the king's decree because of his mistakes.
During this period, Lin Xi never went out, and Bai Tang invited her out, but she was refused, saying that she didn't like a noisy environment.
On the morning of the third day, Lin Xi said goodbye and left, only telling Bai Tang to ask her to reply to Wei Jiuli after she left the customs, and in addition, if there was progress in Concubine Xian's case, she would also send her a letter.
Bai Tang agreed, but when he turned around, he asked Bai Hu to arrange for someone to secretly stare at Lin Xi, and then again under the pretext of retreating and refining medicine, he left after reporting to the Queen Mother.
As for Concubine Xian's case, Dali Temple is still investigating, and it is estimated that there will be no results for a while, and the Luo family has left Yan Ru on their side, if there are any clues between the two sides, Yan Ru can also be a middleman to help match the bridge.
Bai Tang did not leave alone this time, but took Bai Hu and Bai Zhi with him.
In the palace, the black falcon continues to pretend to be King Li, as long as there are not too many changes, there will be basically no problem.
The three of them went back to Zongyang Medical Valley first.
Bai Zhi originally came out of the Zongyang Medical Valley, so he was very calm, and although Bai Hu also knew the relationship between Bai Tang and Zongyang Medical Valley, he still showed surprise when he confirmed it with his own eyes, especially he didn't know that Bai Tang's master was the valley master of Zongyang Medical Valley, and she was still the hand-picked young valley master.
In order not to alarm others, they entered directly from the Nanshan Gate, where there was a shortcut to the back garden of Zongyang Medical Valley.
However, there are formations in it, which are not easily accessible to ordinary people.
Bai Tang first took the two cases in his residence, and then went to find someone.
The Heavenly Sage Old Man is still in retreat, and the affairs of the Medical Valley are still managed by the Great Elder for the time being.
Bai Tang directly found the Great Elder and asked him about some of the things that had happened on the bright and dark sides of the martial arts recently.
Although Zongyang Medical Valley rarely interferes in secular battles, it still has a high voice and status in the martial arts, so if there is any major event in the martial arts, or what major event is about to be launched, it will generally be notified here.
This time was no exception, as Bai Tang expected, Yigu really learned something that Bai Hu didn't find.
However, this news is a movement on the side of the righteous path.
The rebellion of the Demon Palace changed hands began, and there were also continuous partisan disputes underneath, during which many other martial arts sects were affected, causing greater strife and slowly setting off internal disputes in the martial arts.
Some of the affected martial arts sects or families directly approached the martial arts league and wanted to ask for justice, while some saw the civil strife in the Demon Palace and cheered in their hearts, and they also came to join in the fun.
At present, there are two voices in the Martial Arts Alliance, one is to wait and see what happens, and let the Demon Palace consume it by itself and bring about its own destruction.
One is to advocate taking advantage of your illness to kill you, and want to take advantage of the current demon palace to disrupt a body to enter the palace and eradicate the evil demons for heaven.
Of course, this is superficial, and each has its own purpose in private.
After all, not to mention anything else, the Demon Palace has also stood on this continent for a long time, with a profound heritage, not to mention money, but there are countless martial arts cheats or superb weapons of various factions that have been forcibly seized over the years.
If you can really win the Demon Palace, even if you divide it equally, even if it is a hundred sects, you can make a lot of money, how can this make people not moved.
The most important thing is that the Demon Palace Princess inherits the weapon Tianqu Sword.
This sword is a legendary weapon on the weapon list, and it is also the first on the list, it is said that it took fifteen years for the ancestor of the Demon Palace Creation Sect to blackmail the world's first swordsmith with the Heavenly Sword Sect.
According to legend, the swordsmith seemed to have realized the Tao after successfully casting the sword, and even lit the sword, and then sacrificed the sword with his body, and his soul and internal force were integrated into the sword, making the sword a divine weapon.
There is a legend that the Demon Palace was able to crisscross the martial arts back then, and it was not unrelated to this sword, and the combination of the Demon Palace Palace Master and the Tianqu Sword was as if there were two Demon Palace Palace Masters at the same time.
There was even a period of time when it was rumored that those who won the heavens won the world, but it was only later that they were violently suppressed by the Demon Palace, and such riots and speeches gradually weakened.
But weakness does not disappear, greed is the instinct of most people, and it will not disappear with time or with the replacement of generations, as long as there is an opportunity, it will continue to breed.
Now that the Demon Palace is in turmoil, and the forces below are also divided into scattered sand, isn't it a good opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.
The righteous path and the demon path have always been incompatible, even if some people are not greedy people, most of them are in favor of clearing the demon palace because they are afraid of and disgusted with the people of the demon palace.
It's just that there are some people who think that the teacher is unknown, after all, the civil strife in the Demon Palace has not had much impact on the side of the righteous path for the time being, if the righteous path takes the initiative to stir up trouble at this time, it will be criticized, and many righteous people are not willing to be such a villain who takes advantage of the situation and pokes the knife in the back.
Because of these different opinions and opinions, these days the righteous path side is also arguing into a pot of porridge.
The leader of the martial arts alliance was also troubled by the noise, so he also sent a letter to Zongyang Medical Valley to explain the situation and ask for the opinion here.
Zongyang Medical Valley has always been a neutral faction, as long as it is not in the life and death crisis of the martial arts chaos, it generally does not want to interfere, and this time is no exception.
The Great Elder was the first to understand the thoughts of some of them, and he was even more reluctant to go along with them.
However, he did not refuse directly, but first pressed down the letter, planning to wait for a few days to reply to the letter.
Then Bai Tang returned.
The Great Elder was so shrewd that he immediately noticed the abnormality of Bai Tang's inquiry about these things.
Bai Tang didn't plan to hide it, but she didn't directly reveal Wei Jiuli's identity, only said that she had a friend in the Demon Palace, who seemed to have disappeared recently, and may have been involved in civil strife.
Zongyang Medical Valley has always been more enlightened, just like the old saying, in the eyes of doctors, there are always only patients, no men, women, young and old, or dignitaries.
The only thing that Zongyang Medical Valley insists on is to have a clear conscience, jealousy and hatred, as long as the other party is not a heinous person, you can help.
In the past, most of the people who were often turned away came for the Heavenly Sage elders or elders, and naturally most of them were rejected, but they would not encounter any obstacles when they went to the Zongyang Medical Center, unless it was a person like Tonghumen who did a lot of evil and was completely blacklisted.
Naturally, Zongyang Medical Valley will not interfere too much in the disciple's friendship, and in the same way, as long as the other party is not a person who does a lot of evil, disregards human life, and has a bad character.
Although the Great Elder expressed surprise at Bai Tang entering the person who knew the Demon Palace and became friends with him, he did not show displeasure or disgust, but only pondered for a moment.
He said, "In fact, this catastrophe in the Demon Palace is really normal, and it will happen sooner or later in recent years." ”
"The Great Elder only has some inside information?" Bai Tang asked.
"Back then, the crane owl fell too quickly, and he didn't have time to arrange the aftermath, nor did he have time to pave the way for the disciples he valued, speaking of which, the valley lord will know more about him, after all, the valley lord was taking care of him when he ran out of oil and the lamp dried up."
Bai Tang was stunned.
She naturally knew who the crane owl was, it was the former Demon Palace Master, that is, Wei Jiuli's master, but she didn't expect that the master and the other party also had a relationship, and listening to the tone of the Great Elder, the relationship between the two seemed to be more than just the relationship between a patient and a doctor.
"Shizun is actually willing to enter the Demon Palace for him?" Although their master-apprentice relationship has not been long so far, it is enough for her to understand the character and preferences of her master.
He is a little straight-tempered and afraid of trouble, and a little willful, even if the person who doesn't like the eye is the king of heaven, Lao Tzu will not take care of it, and he has always rejected those evil demons, but he didn't expect it.
As if to understand what she was surprised about, the Great Elder smiled slightly.
"Crane Xiao this person is a little different, although he is the master of the Demon Palace, but he is not evil, since he succeeded to the throne, he has restrained the Demon Gate, except for the early turmoil, after the Demon Palace rarely had any conflicts with the martial arts righteous path, and became more and more low-key. If the other party is incognito in the martial arts, it is estimated that he is more like a righteous person than the righteous way, he and the valley lord are said to be a year-old friend, and there was a lot of friendship in the early years, the valley lord is very close to him, and later the other party became the master of the Demon Palace, rarely come out and walk, but occasionally secretly come to the medical valley to drink and talk to the two. ”
Bai Tang was a little stunned, she really didn't know this.
However, it suddenly occurred to her that she seemed to have seen Shizun arguing with an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in gray clothes once, saying that it was a quarrel, but it was more like a bickering, could it be that the crane owl?
The Great Elder said, "The last time I saw him, it was about more than ten years ago, one night he came to the door with a small child in his arms, and asked the valley master to save people, saying that he picked it up on the road, and the child that fits his eyes is more appropriate, and he wants to raise it to be brought to his death. ”
"Kid?" Bai Tang's expression changed slightly, a hint of discoloration flashed under his eyes, and he said uncertainly, "Boy or girl, how old is it?" ”
In fact, she already had a guess in her heart.
"Boy, the age is not clear, the child's condition at that time was a little bad, the whole body was sick, he was dying, he was skinny and skinny, he couldn't tell his age, if it wasn't for the child's desire to survive was too strong, I am afraid he wouldn't be able to wait for someone to enter the medical valley."
When Bai Tang heard this, he shook the hand on the table unconsciously, but he was not much surprised, because this seemed to be more in line with the situation of a child who was helpless and alone in the cold palace than when he first met Wei Jiuli.
When I saw Wei Jiuli for the first time, although the other party also looked thin, it was not so miserable, at most it was malnutrition.
"And then? What happened to the kid? ”
"There is a valley master, naturally there is no problem, the child also recuperated in the medical valley for a while, and then was taken away by the crane owl, and he has never seen it again, but later it was rumored that the crane owl accepted an apprentice and a righteous son, and wanted to train him to become the next demon palace master, it should be that child."
"The crane owl also attaches great importance to the child, and almost imparts to him everything he has learned in his life, that is, he still thinks of him before he dies, so that the valley lord overdraws his life in advance, paves the last section of the road for the child, and buys a little time, when the demon palace is in the competition, the valley lord is present, and he also said that the child does live up to the crane owl's expectations, but the valley lord has not been in a good mood during that time, and then he has been in retreat for a while."
Bai Tang's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little more in his heart.
She suddenly thought of what Wei Jiuli had said that Wei Jiu had been reluctant to tell him about the memories of how he became the palace master of the Demon Palace and related things.
Maybe Wei Jiu knew it back then, and knew that it was in exchange for the life of the only person who cared about him, and he only endured all his emotions by himself and suppressed them in his heart.
She suddenly felt that she was going to get to know Wei Jiu again.
In the past, he always handed over his body to Wei Jiuli, a sub-personality, and let him do what he wanted to do, but at that time, she only thought that the other party was just troublesome and too lazy to do these things, and left everything to Wei Jiuli to deal with.
But now that I think about it, maybe Wei Jiuli is the doppelganger he deliberately set out to be full of expectations and pursuits for life.
He remembered that Wei Jiuli had said that he had a problem with his practice, and then after a coma, he woke up and became the master of the Demon Palace.
Is that actually understandable that Wei Jiu was at that time when he split his personality, suppressed all the dark side in his personality, and separated a sub-personality that he most wanted to be, with clear grievances and grievances, revenge, and whatever he wanted.
She blinked, and suddenly felt a little sour in her heart.
She thought, maybe Wei Jiuli himself also noticed or discovered something, all of them trusted each other with the master without knowing it, because they knew in their hearts that they were actually one person, but one of them was just another sustenance for themselves.
"All the civil strife in the Demon Palace now, is it because the time that has been won has come?" She asked.
The Great Elder nodded slightly, "Back then, it wasn't just an ordinary martial arts competition, the reason why Crane Xiao overdrew his life was because he let the valley master give him a short physical recovery, and his strength was restored to the peak, and he secretly killed and suppressed many people, and those who could fight with that kid were basically dealt with by him, and then before he died, he passed on all the internal strength of his whole body to him, so that the kid could use his strength to temporarily stabilize his position once he was on top." ”
"Now that so many years have passed, it is enough for some people who have not been dealt with back then, but I don't know if he has been fully prepared to sit down all these years, but it is also difficult for him." The Great Elder sighed.
Bai Tang remembered the Heavenly Demon Order and the Heavenly Qu Sword that Wei Jiuli left her before leaving, could it be that he had already made arrangements.
Thinking of his previous instructions and arrangements, it seems that he should have long expected what would happen after returning to the Demon Palace this time.
She unconsciously raised her hand and pressed the jade pendant hanging on her chest, and the Lianxin Gu inside still did not move, indicating that the other party's life was not in danger for the time being.
But even so, she still had to go over and take a look.
The Great Elder said that she could secretly call on some of the resources of the Medicine Valley to operate, but Bai Tang refused.
The Medical Valley has always been neutral, and now it is not suitable to be involved in the Demon Palace incident, even if she is herself, now that she has the name of a young valley master, she can't be too high-profile and wanton.
