Chapter 3: The Ice Coffin of the Cold Palace
Chapter 3: The Ice Coffin of the Cold Palace
As the hoarfrost grows, the mysterious and unpredictable places are frequently revealed, and the growth of the mind is not comparable to that of adults.
But it is not as innocent as an ordinary child, and it is terrifyingly mature, not that Bai Gongsheng deliberately pulled out the seedlings to help destroy it, but it never existed at all.
White Frost has never cried, let alone laughed, since the day he was born, it is really like a perfect puppet, with life and soul, but no emotion.
The transcendent charm of detachment from the world attracts men, women and children who have seen hoarfrost, but the cold atmosphere like ice cubes turns countless people away.
In order to make Bai Shuang smile, Bai Gongsheng scavenged countless strange things on the land of China, such as the hook-billed green bird that can speak, the fluorescent pearl that glows at night, and the jade jade that seems to have a real dragon swimming...... He even took a few rare treasures from the palace treasury, which was actually a Ming robbery.
But he couldn't pry the corners of Bai Shuang's mouth, although now he had no intention of exchanging the palace treasures back, which made the emperor annoyed and worried for a whole month.
Bai Gongsheng has exhausted all methods, and he can't get a trace of Bai Shuang's smile, he doesn't know that there is an allusion to the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera, otherwise even if he knows that it may be stinking for ten thousand years, he will definitely give it a try,
As the hoarfrost grows, it grows colder and colder, more and more like a moving block of ice, and anyone who is beside it can feel the endless cold, not the physical cold, but the piercing heart and frustration.
Whoever it is, the hoarfrost's proud disregard has no increase or decrease,
Absolute fairness,
But it was this fairness, which was so terrible that it was numbing, and it made Bai Gongsheng even more heartbroken, and he suddenly found that his position in his son's heart was no different from that of the slave who usually took care of his daily life, which made him accept that Bai Shuang, who regarded Bai Shuang as the most precious treasure in his life, could accept that his son did not value himself.
And I don't know when, Bai Shuang has his own creed of being a man, wrong is wrong, right is right, and if you do something wrong, you must accept punishment.
Bai Gongsheng's unkind daily behavior has made Bai Shuang quite dissatisfied, and later the people he wanted to bring to justice were tortured by him in front of him, in order to make Bai Shuang's emotions fluctuate a little, whether it is in front of the flesh and blood balls, the perverted pleasure, or the fear of falling into hell, even if it is anger.
Bai Shuang watched very calmly as Bai Gongsheng cut them off piece by piece, cut them into sticks, and then brushed them away. Bai Gongsheng thought he had succeeded, and his success angered Bai Shuang.
Bai Gongsheng was even more dissatisfied with the scourge of those people's families, hundreds of people were separated by him, the family was ruined, the originally prosperous family became fragmented in one day, and the power of the Bai family was terrifying.
But he was wrong, Bai Shuang understood what was angry, but he was not angry, but Bai Gongsheng was punished,
Bai Shuang finally stopped comparing him with others, the prince of heaven and earth, the code of ethics is often not messed up, and Bai Shuang, who is self-denying, is still respectful and filial to Bai Gongsheng, but his eyes are even more indifferent and ruthless.
This is the best punishment for Bai Gongsheng.
Although Bai Gongsheng tried every means to please Bai Shuang, it was completely useless. Outsiders see the father's kindness and filial piety, but they can't understand the sadness in Bai Gongsheng's heart.
And for Bai Shuang, being born in the Bai family, which never follows the rules, is also a kind of torture.
………………
As a result, ten years later, it developed into such a model, and Bai Gongsheng had no way to show his father's dignity in front of Bai Shuang.
"Sir! It's time to take a shower! ”
The sudden appearance of the housekeeper's old servant saved the embarrassed Bai Gongsheng in time.
"Daddy, since it's late, don't delay any longer, get ready, let's go see my mother!" This is the first time you've brought it to worship in 10 years! ”
White Frost turned around and plucked a delicate peach blossom twig from the isolated peach blossom tree in the garden, and hid it in his sleeve.
"Shuang'er, you really like peach blossoms!"
Bai Gongsheng's tone was a little proud, since he knew that his son liked peach blossoms, this peach blossom tree was transplanted from the secret realm of the Tianshan Mountains with a lot of money, and it was also the only move to win the favor of Baishuang.
"Daddy, go and prepare, don't miss the hour."
Bai Shuang instructed, went out and got into the carriage, closed his eyes and waited for his father.
"Sometimes, I really wonder if the young master is the reincarnation of an immortal, with a peerless demeanor, so outstanding. Master, your greatest achievement in this life is to have a young master! ”
The old servant looked at the white frost as he left, and sighed with emotion.
Bai Gongsheng nodded silently, on the day Bai Shuang was born, he only saw the divine dragon, he didn't regard it as an illusion, maybe his special child, maybe he was really an immortal in his previous life.
But Bai Gongsheng has always regarded this as the deepest secret in his heart, the Bai family is highly powerful, and he has always been favored by the Emperor of Yue, except that he and the current emperor are close friends who grew up together, that is, their Bai family is arrogant and domineering enough, and most of the other families are full of contradictions, and the royal family is not afraid that they will form a party for personal gain, and the tail will not fall.
In other words, the Bai family is the so-called imperial party.
But when this white frost was born, it attracted the real dragon to come into the world, it was too eye-catching, and it was a taboo of the royal family, if such news really came out from the Bai family, I am afraid that it would cause the emperor's jealousy, thinking that the Bai family had the heart of rebellion.
Although Bai Gongsheng longs for infinite power, he does not have the slightest idea of adding a yellow robe, not only because the current emperor is his friend, but also because he knows that it is not easy to be the emperor, and it is better for him to be at ease.
However, Bai Shuang wants to be the emperor, and he doesn't know how Bai Gongsheng will choose.
"It's not good, let's go, if it's late, Frost will blame me again! In front of him, my already small prestige was really gone! ”
Bai Gongsheng immediately came back to his senses, grabbed the old housekeeper, and rushed to his house, anxiously rampage along the way, and for a while the Bai family's chickens flew and the dogs jumped, and it was chaotic.
Soon, Bai Gongsheng changed into plain clothes and sat in the carriage outside the door, and then the coachman drove the carriage and rushed out of the city non-stop.
Today is actually Bai Shuang's tenth birthday, but it is also the death day of Bai Mu, their grandfather's action is to pay tribute to Bai Mu, Bai Shuang is the first time in ten years to go to the biological mother's cemetery to worship, in the past it was just to the spiritual position.
……
Three miles outside the city, deep in the thick forest, there was a nameless courtyard, guarded day and night by hundreds of armored warriors. And this is the destination of the Bai family father and son.
The leading general, seeing that it was Bai Gongsheng, immediately let him go,
Bai Gongsheng and his son had already gotten out of the car and walked outside the woods, carrying a sandalwood brocade box and carrying a heavy package, just as the father and son walked into the seemingly simple courtyard, which was deserted and deserted, without a trace of popularity, not even a slave.
Straight through the patio to the hall, what appeared in front of me was not a neat spiritual position, but a spiraling stone staircase.
Bai Gongsheng picked up the ever-bright lamp from the wall on the side, and led Bai Shuang down the stairs into the ground.
I don't know how long later, with the faint light of the ever-bright lamp, a huge stone door three feet high stood in front of the father and son.
Bai Gongsheng put down the package and took out the thick cotton clothes from it, although the weather turned cold and the underground was cold, but it was not to the point where the cotton clothes were needed.
"Frost, do you need cotton clothes...... It's going to be cold next! ”
Bai Gongsheng asked with concern.
"I don't need it!"
The bigger the hoarfrost, the less afraid he found his body of the cold, and a few years ago he still needed a brazier in the winter house, but now he will not feel a trace of cold even when rolling in the ice and snow.
"Well, you have the final say!" Bai Gongsheng, who touched a gray nose, was not embarrassed, anyway, he was used to it, "Come to Shuang'er and watch, and you can see your father's divine power!" ”
Bai Gongsheng took a deep breath and came to the stone gate, his feet pierced into a steady horse step, and his two broad palms pressed on the rough stone gate that had gone through countless years.
"Ah......h
With Bai Gongsheng's long roar, the incomparably heavy stone gate was actually gradually pushed by him, and the deep scratches on the rocky ground seemed to prove that this was not easy.
Suddenly, the wind howled, bitterly cold, and a hurricane struck, almost blowing the hoarfrost to it, and in an instant, everything was stained with a layer of beautiful crystal frost.
A world of ice crystals covered in silver is presented before the eyes of the hoarfrost,
The endless ice formed a huge ice cave, which was clearly under a thick layer, but it was brightly lit, and the dazzling colored light came from nowhere, removing all the darkness of the ice cave.
There were no flowers or trees in the cave, not even lifeless rocks, only cold ice.
"Shuang'er, this is the biggest secret of our Bai family, and it is also the most important place, this is the cold palace discovered by the ancestors of the Bai family a hundred years ago, and it is also the final destination of the Bai family!"
Bai Gongsheng originally wanted to wait for his son to ask, but Bai Shuang just followed him silently, without the intention of asking at all.
The cold wind swept through the frost blowing, and a terrifying chill made Bai Gongsheng shudder unconsciously, shivering his body, and pinching the placket to resist the cold current from invading through the gap in the cotton clothes.
"Shuang'er, don't you really need cotton clothes?"
White Frost shook his head, but he looked at the bone-chilling cold, and his face became even more ruddy. There is a feeling of opening the acupoints all over the body, smooth and refreshing, and the three-element sublimation of essence and spirit is faint.
Tens of thousands of huge ice blocks have stood here for countless years, overlapping and supporting each other, as if they are a crystal palace made of ice and snow.
Even the white frost has to sigh at the magic of heaven and earth.
"It's beautiful!"
