Chapter XVIII Meetings
Bai Xuan nodded and said,
"Yes, it's cheating. ”
Looking at Bai Shushu with a puzzled expression, Bai Xuan then explained,
"Actually, in terms of strength, you also know that I will not be as good as that Lu Yi, but this Lu Yi has a fatal weakness. ”
"What weakness?"
Bai Shu is busy asking,
"He's an impetuous, so his mind is extremely fragile. ”
Bai Shushu frowned,
"Does this have anything to do with how you won, brother?"
Bai Xuan laughed and said,
"Of course it does, and it's so big, if it weren't for that, how could I win?"
Bai Shushu was so anxious that he stomped his feet,
"Brother, I still don't understand, can you say something that you have been trying to understand?"
Bai Xuan stuck out his tongue and continued,
"Don't worry, I'm not about to say this. In fact, I was really defeated by Lu Yi at the beginning, because his soul skill could penetrate my soul qi, and I couldn't defend myself, my movement was limited, and I was very passive. But then he told me that I could use the essence of soul refining, and at first I didn't understand what he meant. But when I watched Lu Yi use soul strength, I suddenly understood that the essence of soul refining was understanding, assimilation, and construction. However, it occurred to me that my sir once controlled my soul energy, and you must have seen it, right?"
Bai Shushu remembered the scene when she had no control over her soul qi, which she could never forget in her life, and nodded excitedly,
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Seeing Bai Shushu so excited, Bai Xuan smiled again,
"Then I was thinking, if Mr. controls my soul qi and relies on soul refining, then can I also control Lu Yi's soul qi? Then I found out that in fact, if I want to control my soul qi, it turns out that it is exactly the same as refining a Horcrux, and it is even easier than refining a Horcrux. ”
"What does that mean?"
Bai Shushu was not a soul refiner after all, so of course he didn't understand what Bai Xuan meant.
"To put it simply, I regard Lu Yi as a Horcrux, what I need to do to refine my soul is to understand, assimilate and construct, and if I want to control my soul qi, I only need to complete the step of understanding. In fact, to understand this step is to perceive the power of the Horcrux and dissolve it in my own body, and it is in this way that I introduce Lu Yi's soul qi into my body and dissolve it through soul refining. ”
After listening to Bai Xuan's explanation, Bai Shushu seemed to understand whether he understood or not,
"But isn't Lu Yi a Huang-level soul master, brother, you introduced his soul qi into your body, can you dissolve it?"
Bai Xuan smiled slyly,
"That's the point! I thought I could only gamble as you thought, but when I introduced the soul power, I was surprised to find that the soul power that needed to be resolved had nothing to do with Lu Yi's own realm, only with him as a person. ”
"Oooooooooooo
Bai Shushu suddenly realized,
"No wonder my brother said that his fragile mind is the key! It turns out that because Lu Yi is impetuous and fragile, he was resolved by his brother so quickly! Brother, you are so insidious!"
Bai Xuan couldn't cry or laugh,
"What is insidious, this is called stratagem! stratagem! ”
Only then did Bai Shushu understand the whole thing,
"No wonder Lu Yi didn't believe that his soul would suddenly disappear when he was killed, without his soul, no matter how strong he was, he was just an ordinary person, how could he be able to defeat his brother who protected his soul!"
Looking at Bai Xuan's triumphant appearance, Bai Shushu turned his head again and asked,
"Then with this method, isn't my brother invincible in the world?"
Bai Xuan smiled dumbly,
"Do you think everyone is as fragile as Lu Yi? As long as people with a slightly stronger mind understand it, it will take a longer time to understand, and it is still unknown whether it can be resolved, you must know that today is my first time refining souls, and it is already very good to do this!"
Bai Shushu looked at the hidden nothingness and asked curiously,
"Is that so, sir?"
Yin Wanwu looked at the two living treasures along the way, and you couldn't stop for a moment, and said with a slight smile,
"That's true, Bai Xuan, this kid is really good today!"
I didn't expect to really get the affirmation of Yin Wanwu, along the way, Bai Xuan became more and more proud, Bai Shushu couldn't stop it, just like that, the three of them laughed and made noise, and they returned to the door of Bai's house.
"Father!"
"Daddy!"
As soon as they arrived at the door, Bai Xuan and Bai Shushu saw Bai Ao standing outside the door, and said in unison.
"I'm looking for you, where did you two run away and disappear early in the morning?"
Looking at the blood stains on Bai Xuan's body, Bai Ao frowned and said,
"What, you're fighting again?"
Bai Xuan was a little weak-hearted, and covered the blood stains on his body with his hands.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's fun. ”
Bai Ao sighed and said,
"Hey, you kid, you just don't let your father worry, you're so an adult, why are you still the same as when you were a child, how can you let your father leave with confidence?"
Bai Xuan lowered his head and said weakly,
"Xuan'er knows that she is wrong, next time..."
Speaking of this, Bai Xuan looked up in amazement,
"Father is leaving?"
Bai Ao nodded and said,
"Yes, my father will be away for two months, and he will leave later. ”
"Why are you in such a hurry, where is Daddy going?"
Bai Shushu always pestered Bai Ao on weekdays, and when he heard that Bai Ao was going to leave for two months, he was suddenly a little reluctant.
Bai Ao touched Bai Sushou's head, with a look of pride on his face,
"Do you know about the 10-year conference?"
"The 10-year conference?"
Bai Xuan felt in a trance where he had heard this word, but he felt a little vague and couldn't quite remember it.
Bai Ao smiled and said,
"It's normal not to remember, after all, it's been ten years, do you remember when you were six years old, your father also went to the ten-year conference?"
Bai Xuan had a vague impression, but he couldn't remember the details clearly, and Bai Shushu looked completely unaware and shook his head decisively.
Bai Ao seemed to think of something,
"That's it, that's it, that little peachwood sword that my father brought back to you, the one you liked when you were a child, do you remember?"
This mention of the peachwood sword, Bai Xuan suddenly realized,
"Oh oh oh! I remember, I remember I liked the wooden sword, but it was broken by the dream. ”
Saying that, he glanced at Bai Shushu with resentment, it seemed that Bai Xuan was still a little sorry when he mentioned it, Bai Shushu heard Bai Xuan say this, and it seemed that his mouth was suddenly opened.
"Ahh
This made Bai Xuan a little ashamed, scratching his head and whispering,
"Ahh
Then immediately diverted the topic,
"By the way, father, what is the purpose of this ten-year conference?"
Bai Shushu was ready to continue complaining about Bai Xuan, but when he heard Bai Xuan ask, he was also very curious and waited for Bai Ao's answer.
Speaking of the ten-year conference, Bai Ao's face showed a rare color of pride,
"This ten-year conference is the most important gathering in this soul continent, it is held once every ten years, and the organizer is different each time, it is very grand, gathering people from all over the world to talk about world affairs, including the construction of ethnic groups on this continent, river dredging, trade exchanges, and many agendas. In short, it is to let everyone share resources for mutual benefit. ”
Bai Xuan somewhat understood,
"No wonder the appearance of the Bai family has been so much better than before in recent years. ”
Bai Ao laughed,
"Exactly, exactly, this is all the credit of the ten-year conference! Otherwise, your eldest brother would not have the opportunity to practice medicine in the Central Continent!"
Bai Xuan was surprised,
"It turns out that the matter of the eldest brother is actually related to the ten-year conference?"
Bai Ao smiled,
"That's natural, I remember that my father went to attend the ten-year conference that year, and happened to meet a businessman who studied medicine, and that person negotiated with his father very happily, and there was still a correspondence after the meeting, and then I heard that he was short of people, and Zhuo'er liked it, so Zhuo'er followed to help. ”
Bai Xuan nodded and said,
"So that's the case, where is my father's conference held?"
Bai Ao was obviously a little excited,
"The Holy Heavenly City of the Middle Continent!"
"Holy Heavenly City!"
Hearing that Bai Xuan's eyes of the "Holy Heavenly City" actually glowed,
"Isn't the eldest brother also in the Holy Heavenly City, it is said that the Holy Heavenly City is the most prosperous place in this Soul Qi Continent, father, can Xuan'er go with you?"
"I want to go, I haven't seen my eldest brother for a long time, and my father will take my dream with me?"
Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were so excited and yearning, Bai Ao was a little speechless and stopped, sighed and said,
"It's not that the Father doesn't want to take you, it's just... It's just that... Every ten-year conference has a special invitation to be invited, and you must enter the city with a post... For the Father... Truly for the Father..."
Seeing that Bai Ao was so embarrassed, Bai Xuan didn't want to put any pressure on his father, so he smiled and said,
"Father doesn't have to blame himself, rules are rules, and during the meeting, presumably my father will be very busy, and he will definitely not have time to accompany me and his dreams at that time.
Anyway, Shengtian City can't run away, and there will be a chance in the future, so my father just remember to say hello to the eldest brother for us!"
Seeing that Bai Shushu seemed to want to beg Bai Ao again, but was pulled by Bai Xuan, he muttered a little mouth, looking a little aggrieved.
Bai Ao didn't know what to say, so he took the two children into his arms,
"During my absence, the Bai family depends on the two of you, you have to take good care of the Bai family, you know?"
Bai Xuan hugged Bai Ao, his eyes were a little ruddy, and he whispered,
"Xuan'er knows, take care of your father. ”
And Bai Shushu buried his whole head in Bai Ao's arms, howling and crying.
Looking at the two children like this, Bai Ao couldn't help but be a little moist, and his eyes were a little moist.
"Silly child, what are you crying about, it's not like you're not coming back for your father, don't worry, your father will come back before Xuan'er's birthday. ”
Hearing Bai Ao say this, Bai Shushu raised his head a little bit, looked at Bai Ao with teary eyes, and his voice was still choked,
"Will the big brother come back too?"
This made Bai Ao a little embarrassed,
"It's not good to say, if the hospital is not busy, I think he will definitely find time to come back. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Xuan again, and continued,
"Even if Zhuo'er is really busy and can't come back, I will definitely ask him to pick a good gift for you!"
Bai Xuan smiled faintly,
"Father Lao bothered. ”
Bai Ao naturally knew that these two children had not seen their eldest brother Bai Zhuo for too long, although they didn't say it on weekdays, they remembered it in their hearts, which also comforted Bai Ao's heart.
"Now that you're back, hurry back to your room and change your clothes, and we'll have lunch together as a family. ”
Hearing Bai Ao say this, Bai Xuan and Bai Shushu went back to their rooms to dress, and Bai Ao himself went back to pack up.
"The 10-year conference?"
As soon as Bai Xuan returned to the room, he heard an old voice behind him muttering.
"Sir, you know about the 10-year conference?"
Bai Xuan carefully took off the blood-stained clothes and folded them on the stool,
"Where does the old man seem to have heard of it, the ten-year conference?"
Seeing Yin Wanwu muttering to himself, Bai Xuan also ignored it.
I chose a clean and tidy set of clothes to change into, and I was ready to go out.
"Will you come with me, sir?"
Seeing that Yin Wanwu was still muttering to himself, Bai Xuan shrugged his shoulders, left Yin Wanwu in the room, and went to the hall to share lunch with Bai Ao and Bai Shushu.
The lunch is extremely rich, all of which are Bai Xuan and Bai Shu's favorite food, and even the "scalding crab" in Tianxianglou is available, which shows that Bai Ao really put a lot of thought into it.
I'm afraid that as soon as I leave, these two children won't be able to eat well, and they will mess around with something.
It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world.
Seeing the two children eating so happily, Bai Ao was really happier than what delicacies he ate.
At the end of lunch, the table full of dishes was swept away by the three of them.
After lunch, Bai Ao first went to find the three elders, and only after all the arrangements were made were made before he was ready to leave.
Before Bai Ao left, he only let Bai Xuan and Bai Shushu see him off, looking at the back of Bai Ao's departure, Bai Shushu couldn't help but sob.
"Father, take care all the way. ”
With the blessing of the two, it has been a week since Bai Ao left the Bai family to attend the ten-year conference, and in this week, in addition to recovering from the injuries in the previous battle with Lu Yi, Bai Xuan also practiced soul refining and fighting under the teaching of Yin Wanwu.
In the following month, Bai Xuan was even more excited, remembering that at that time in the cave of Yin Wanwu's study, Yin Wanwu put away all those ancient books, among which there were many simple and basic books, which told the knowledge of soul refining and soul fighting, although Bai Xuan still couldn't understand those words, but there was Yin Wanwu to explain carefully, Bai Xuan relied on his amazing memory and comprehension ability, and his learning speed also made Yin Wanwu impressed.
In addition to practicing and reading, during Bai Ao's absence, Bai Xuan and Bai Shushu also helped out with many large and small affairs in the clan, although the three elders were mainly taken care of over there, but it was some small chores, which also made the two of them realize that it was not easy for Bai Ao to deal with these things on weekdays.
It's been a month, and it's been less than a month since Bai Xuan's seventeenth birthday.
On this day, Bai Xuan got up early and read in the morning as usual, in fact, Bai Ao has always persuaded Bai Xuan to read more, but Bai Xuan has always been too playful, and those who are so careless, he has a headache when he sees it, so he has been abandoned.
But now, I don't know how to be abnormal, in addition to the study related to soul power, I will listen to Yin Wanwu talk about some wise sayings on weekdays, and even once discussed the unreachable star tune, which is almost a year's time, not long, not short, Bai Xuan's changes during this period can be said to be earth-shaking, but Bai Shushu is still the same Bai Shushu.
No, now Bai Shushu is muttering a small mouth, tilting his head to look at Bai Xuan who is reading on the side, and asks complainingly,
"Brother, it's so boring, Daddy isn't here, can you play with you?"
Bai Xuan put down the scroll in his hand and said with a smile,
"What about Bai Qiu and Bai Shan, why don't you play with them?"
Bai Shushu sighed and said,
"They, my father is not here, and they have been taken by the elders to work as coolies, so how can they have time to play with me. ”
Bai Xuan smiled bitterly,
"Then you can also help the elders with their work. ”
After Bai Shushu listened, the head shook like a rattle,
"I don't want it, it's those things every day, it's annoying to death, it's hard to take a break today, you want to go by yourself, I don't want it." ”
Bai Xuan stuck out his tongue, obviously, Bai Xuan was also reluctant to go,
"Sir, what is the meaning of this sentence?"
Seeing that Bai Xuan picked up the scroll again, and discussed with Yin Wanwu on the side, Bai Shushu's head was drooping on the table. Fiddling with Bai Xuan's idle brush, he looked extremely bored.
But it didn't take long for Bai Shushu to suddenly raise his head suddenly,
"Who?"
This sudden shout really startled Bai Xuan,
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Bai Xuan's puzzled expression, Bai Shushu frowned and said,
"Didn't my brother hear that?"
Bai Xuan became more and more puzzled,
"Hear what?"
Bai Shushu scratched his head and looked around again,
"I think I'm hearing someone talking again, strange..."
Bai Xuan then remembered, remembering that the last time he went to the back mountain forest, Bai Shushu was also so suspicious, especially in recent days, Bai Shushu often was in a daze, sometimes talking to himself, which was really weird.
"What do you hear, sir?"
Hearing Bai Xuan ask, Yin Wanwu just shook his head,
"The old man never heard anyone speak. ”
Bai Xuan looked at Bai Shushu with some concern,
"Suh, can you hear what the sound is?"
Bai Shushu tried hard to think about it, sighed and said,
"I don't know, the voice is very indistinct, it's just someone talking... Nor is it to speak... It is... It's more like..."
Seeing that Bai Shusu's expression was so indistinct, Bai Xuan's heart was even more confused.
"What is it more like?"
Bai Shushu wanted to speak and stopped, as if searching for the right word to describe this strange sound in his mind, and after thinking about it again, Bai Shushu said,
"It's like a cry for help!"
"Help?"
Bai Xuan and Yin Wanwu both frowned and said in unison.
Bai Shushu nodded, not knowing how to explain it.
"But you've been too tired lately and you're having auditory hallucinations?"
Bai Xuan asked with concern.
Bai Shushu shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know either.
At this moment, Yin Wanwu suddenly stretched out his hand to condense his qi, only to see tiny points of light rising from Yin Wanwu's hands, as if refining souls, those small points of light slowly broke away from Yin Wanwu and jumped in the direction of Bai Shushu.
"Poof!"
But just as the hidden points of light had just approached Bai Shushu, those points of light were all shattered, as if there was an invisible barrier around Bai Shushu, blocking all the hidden points of light.
Seeing this situation, Yin Wanwu sighed and shook his head,
"It's still the case, the old man's soul power still can't get close to the girl's body, I really don't know who did the soul power in her body, it's getting stronger and stronger. ”
Bai Xuan looked at Yin Wandao in surprise,
"Sir, you mean that the unknown soul power in Su Shu's body is still increasing?"
Yin Wanwu also said with a solemn expression,
"I'm afraid so. ”
Seeing that the two of them looked so nervous, Bai Shushu suddenly stood up and said,
"Brother, sir, you don't have to worry about me, I must be like my brother said, I'm a little tired, plus I don't have my father by my side, I'm very worried, so I'm cranky. ”
said that he smiled sweetly,
"I'll go back and get some sleep, and when I wake up, I'll go back to my room." ”
Bai Xuan just wanted to get up, but Bai Shushu ran straight out of the door.
Bai Xuan looked at the closed door and muttered,
"Is that so..."
Bai Shushu stood outside the door, leaning against Bai Xuan's door, and gasped cautiously, as if he was afraid that Bai Xuan would hear it.
At this time, Bai Shushu's expression was extremely strange, she looked at her hands, and looked up at the sky again, her big blue eyes suddenly moistened, and two lines of bitter tears slowly flowed down Bai Shushu's delicate face.
"At least... At least let me wait until my brother's birthday..."
At this moment, an inexplicable uneasiness suddenly rose from Bai Xuan's heart, and Bai Xuan suddenly got up and rushed out of the door, but there was no one outside the door.
In the morning, the morning dew, the breeze is still there, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
Everything was so natural and familiar, but the uneasiness in Bai Xuan's heart became more and more solemn.
