Chapter 506: And the Confession
The high priest said that the Red Blood Peak was not far from here, and that if we traveled day and night, it could take us there in three days, but now that time was pressing, we did not dare to relax in the slightest, and planned to set off immediately. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Before leaving the altar of the hidden capital, Tian Ji and Huang Ping put the explosives they brought in the cave, Wen Ru didn't seem to have any nostalgia for this place, and after blowing up the altar of the hidden capital, we went to the Red Blood Peak.
Along the way, although everyone was happy to determine the location of the Demon Kingdom, it was more because they had found a way to save Ye Zhiqiu, but the palace lord who walked at the back didn't say a word, as if he had something on his mind.
"What's wrong?" I stayed and asked.
Gong Jue wanted to speak and stopped, waiting for the person in front of him to go away, with a solemn expression and a sigh, Gong Jue has always been calm, and he knew that something was wrong by looking at his expression.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Gong Jue said in a low voice.
"What's not easy?" I'm a little dazed.
"Although we cracked the two poems on the guqin and got the location of Red Blood Peak, I am worried that the clues are not so simple."
"It's not easy, everyone brainstormed before they thought, we are lucky, there is a high priest who is familiar with Jiulian Mountain, otherwise we can't think of Red Blood Peak even if we rack our brains."
"The diner left the secret of the demon kingdom on the ebony qin, from the known clues, the method of hiding is extremely ingenious, we have now cracked the Jiulian Mountain and the Red Blood Peak, but the problem is that there are many things in the projected picture, such as those circles, and the lines next to them and the stars dotted with stars." Gong Jue was probably worried that his thoughts would affect the mood of others, so he said to me in a very low voice. "Diners don't leave these things behind for no reason, and I believe we should ignore them."
"Take one step at a time, it's useless to think so much now, at least the clues point to the Red Blood Peak, and when we get there, maybe there will be a new harvest." I sighed and said.
"Also, Wen Ru came prepared this time, and it seems that he is not afraid of death, so that we are not afraid of death, we have no way to deal with him, if you really find the Demon Kingdom, have you ever thought about the consequences." The palace lord hesitated for a long time and asked me.
"Don't worry, I really didn't take Wen Ru seriously." I replied with a helpless frown. "The top priority is to save Zhiqiu, and this time our biggest enemy is time."
"That's what I'm worried about." The palace lord suddenly stepped in steps. "Wen Ru is the same as the Witch Gu King back then, all of them went mad and wanted to get eternal life, and Wen Ru was even better, he even wanted to become a god, but all this was built on ......"
Sacrifice!
I interrupted Gong Jue's words, knowing what he was worried about, if he wanted to save Ye Zhiqiu, he had to make another sacrifice in the Demon Kingdom according to Wen Ru's plan, but Wen Ru bluntly said that the result of the sacrifice of the ancestral god in the Demon Kingdom thousands of years ago was not eternal life, but death.
This means that if you want to save Ye Zhiqiu, Tian Ji and I may have to repeat the mistakes of the past.
I smiled faintly, in fact, I had already thought of the possible results, I promised to protect Ye Zhiqiu, that was my promise to Ye Jiuqing.
But he is not the only person I promised, I promised the palace lord, I also promised Tian Ji, and finally promised to understand Tianhui and Zhuo Mingfeng.
However, whatever I do, in the end, I will be made to break my promise, but Wen Ru made me think of a way to get the best of both worlds, if I can exchange my life for Ye Zhiqiu, I am absolutely willing, it will be my compensation for Ye Jiuqing.
After all, I owe him so much, maybe my death in the Demon Kingdom will be the best outcome for everyone.
As Xie Tianhui said, the Demon Kingdom is the origin of all secrets, but I hope it is also the end of everything.
"No matter what you plan to do, I will support you without hesitation, but you have to remember that where you Gu Chaoge are, my palace lord is there."
After the palace lord finished speaking, I left me alone to walk to the front, I looked at his back in a daze, knowing that he might have guessed my plan, the palace lord is stubborn, I have learned from the first time I saw him, I believe that he is also a person who does what he says.
I was a little helpless, and found that I never seemed to have a choice between friends and foes, and everything seemed to be predestined in advance, and I just had to re-experience it again.
I haven't told them the truth until now, Wen Ru wants to get eternal life in the demon kingdom and wants to become a god, and his actions are not hateful in my eyes, but more ridiculous.
The Twelve Generals have also done a lot of things, and their purpose is also for me to find the Demon Kingdom in person and return there, which is the same as Wen Ru, but from the words of Xie Tianhui and Zhuo Mingfeng, I can clearly realize that the secrets hidden in the Demon Kingdom are probably not what Wen Ru thought.
Just like the divine decree left by the ancestral god, only those who are chosen by the gods can enter, and I am the one who can enter the demon kingdom.
As soon as I thought of this, I saw Ye Zhiqiu, who was sitting on the side of the road, rescued her from the altar of the hidden capital, and never had the opportunity to be alone with her, she obviously deliberately stayed behind and waited for me.
I wanted to say a lot to her, but when I actually met her, I didn't know where to start.
"Why are you sullen when you see me?" Ye Zhiqiu stood up and complained, she seemed to care about my expression, far more than the witch in her stomach.
"I have something to tell you." I hesitated for a long time and looked at Ye Zhiqiu solemnly.
"Say what?"
It's very strange, those words and truths held in my heart, I don't dare to tell anyone around me, it's not that I don't believe them, but I feel unspeakable, but I want to tell Ye Zhiqiu, maybe it's the reason why I grew up with her since childhood.
"Remember Ling Xi?"
"Mom?" Ye Zhiqiu was stunned and looked at me suspiciously. "What's wrong with my mom?"
"After the 117th Bureau discovered the Vientiane Divine Palace, among the first batch of people to be sent in were your father and your mother, but Ling Xi was not killed because of a surprise attack in the Vientiane Divine Palace." I took a deep breath and said it.
Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback, and grabbed me, about Ling Xi's death, it has always been an indelible memory and grief for her and Ye Jiuqing: "I, how did my mother die?" Did you later discover other truths? ”
"In order to keep the secrets in the Vientiane Divine Palace, someone deliberately arranged for Ling Xi to enter, as well as your father, the purpose is to eliminate these people."
"Who?!" Ye Zhiqiu was shocked.
"Chief One." The words came out of my mouth and suddenly I felt so relaxed. "Everything was arranged by him, at that time Ling Xi had a chance of survival, but in the end, the No. 1 leader ordered the rescue force to stand by, and the result was ......"
Such an important matter, Ye Zhiqiu knew that I would not talk nonsense, let alone talk about the person she cared about the most, she was obviously shocked by what I said, and the corners of her mouth squirmed for a long time: "No. 1, No. 1 is your father, he, he killed my mother......"
"No, I don't have a father, Gu Yuanshan didn't kill Ling Xi."
"Didn't you just say that everything was arranged by the number one leader?" Ye Zhiqiu was even more confused.
I buried my head, licked my lips from time to time, rubbed my face vigorously, and finally mustered up the courage.
"I'm the number one."
Ye Zhiqiu's surprise was no less than what I meant when I learned the truth, she stared at me motionless with her mouth open for a long time, and the initial panic on her face was gradually replaced by a blankness.
"You, how could you be the number one leader?"
"It does sound ridiculous, but this is the truth, the lord you saw in Lu Qiao's tomb, the man with the golden silk mask you saw in the golden palace of Jieshi at the bottom of the sea, and the later No. 1 chief, are actually all one person." I looked at Ye Zhiqiu seriously and said. "That's me."
"Wait a minute, you let me think about it." Ye Zhiqiu seemed to have forgotten the point of my conversation with her, and felt that she couldn't react at all.
I suddenly told the truth, and only told Ye Zhiqiu, it was not a momentary impulse, I grew up with her, and I was also a childhood sweetheart, and when I grew up, Ye Zhiqiu was far less dependent on me than I was when I was a child, maybe it was the reason why I visited the grave, and he took his grudge against Ye Jiuqing to me.
I didn't bother with her, but later I found out that Ye Zhiqiu's feelings for me are far more than family affection, I am just being dull and unenlightened, when I saw Ye Zhiqiu carving my name in the cave, I could also guess one or two, when she was most helpless, she thought of me not Ye Jiuqing but me, which shows that I am even more important than Ye Jiuqing in her heart.
I can understand Ye Zhiqiu's intentions, but I can't afford it, just like I don't dare to face Ye Jiuqing now, I don't dare to imagine that when Ye Zhiqiu knows all the truth, I will understand what kind of mood and reaction I will have when I like someone who killed her mother, so I have to tell her everything.
"The demon country we are looking for is the origin of everything, and it is also my origin, to be exact, I am not human, just like I told you before, Gu Yuanshan is not my father." The person in front had already walked away, and they couldn't hear the conversation between me and Ye Zhiqiu, and I looked at her seriously.
"You, you said you're not human, then, what are you?" Ye Zhiqiu asked dumbfounded.
"Chiyou is the first witch created by the ancestral god, but before the ancestral god died in the demon kingdom, the last masterpiece was to create the most perfect witch."
"What does this have to do with you?"
"I am the masterpiece of the ancestral gods."
……
Ye Zhiqiu's mouth opened wider, and her surprised eyes were full of incomprehensible doubts and dazedness, that was the gaze I was most afraid to see, it was so strange and frightened.
"You were created?" Ye Zhiqiu's voice was still not too believing, and he was suddenly stunned, as if he thought of something. "Sacrifice, the sacrifice recorded in the mural of the ancient tomb of Leishan, the twelve ancestral gods mysteriously disappeared, and a new god appeared, that, the new god in the mural is your ......"
