【Chapter 1】The past is like a dream, and no one has to complain
The past is like a dream, and no one has to complain.
When I woke up, it was dawn. Thinking about what happened a few days ago, it's a mixed bag.
Looking at the direction in which the faint rays of sunlight came in, this wooden bed, a cell full of haystacks, was actually the place where she "set off" again.
Bai Liyue rubbed her eyebrows, thinking that it was really interesting to come to this Great Qiguo.
But if you come, you should be safe, Bai Liyue got up, dusted off her body, picked a few gravels from her feet, and casually threw them out of the prison door one by one.
"What are you doing!" After a while, a guard of five big and three thick approached angrily, and kicked the door so hard that the chains on the door rattled.
"Call Si Haoyan over. Bai Liyue didn't even glance at the guard, and raised her hand and threw out a piece of white spirit crystal.
When the guard received a piece of white spirit crystal, his eyes lit up immediately. Although this Bai Lingjing is the most inferior spirit crystal, it is also a spirit crystal, and a small guard like them can only exchange some scattered spirit stones for a year, but thinking about this Si Haoyan in Bai Liyue's mouth, he was suddenly embarrassed again.
The guard carefully put away Bai Lingjing, scratched his head and said leisurely, "You...... How can you call the name of the Third Highness...... That one...... On the side of the Third Highness, I can only go and tell him, whether he can come or not is not something that one of my guards can do. ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Bai Liyue's reaction, and ran away without looking back, as if he was afraid that Bai Liyue would ask Bai Lingjing back.
In the past few years, Bai Liyue has lived in a ghost city as a cityist woman. The ghost city is a small city that is slowly formed in the three regardless of the zone, and does not belong to any one country.
It is said that on that day 14 years ago, when Mrs. Yao worshipped the Buddha in the most famous temple in the city, "Yueyou Temple", there was a little baby lying on the Buddha and sat down, and the Buddha shed two blood tears that day. So Mrs. Yao felt the kindness of the Buddha, so she took the baby back to the city lord's mansion as a righteous daughter and named it Li Yue.
Although she is a righteous daughter, in fact, Bai Liyue has lived a similar life in the past few years to a transparent person, after all, Mrs. Yao herself still has the eldest lady Bai Jing'an and the fourth young master Bai Hongzhen under her knees, compared to her own children, this righteous daughter who picked up is not too much of a question in addition to the year she started, and in the days that followed, the Bai family did not ask too much. Over time, except for the annual routine gathering, Bai Liyue basically did not go out of his yard.
Whenever she thinks about things, Bai Liyue habitually touches her left earlobe, maybe people who don't know may think that she wants to pick out the birthmark behind her left earlobe.
"So, you called Hongu to come to see you pluck your ears?"
As soon as Bai Liyue came back to her senses, she saw that Si Haoyan and the little guard were standing outside the prison door at some point.
Si Haoyan's slender figure was wearing a red black robe, still looking high, with his chin tilted slightly, his cold eyes slightly constricted, and the half-side shadow reflected in the faint sunlight was as awe-inspiring as the cold-blooded Emperor Yan who looked down on all beings.
"Ahem. Bai Liyue smiled embarrassedly, a little embarrassed for a while, but remembered that if it weren't for this Si Haoyan, he wouldn't be in this prison, and suddenly said: "Si Haoyan, you Daqiguo invited envoys, that is, you invited to sleep in prison?
"Envoy?" Si Haoyan raised his eyebrows, "How do you remember from this palace, during the trip to the hidden city, this palace invited Bai Jing'an, the eldest lady of the hidden city." The slightly raised eyebrows looked at Bai Liyue sarcastically, as if to say, "What are you?"
"Bai Jing'an, she can't come to the temporary retreat, can't the third lady of the ghost city represent the ghost city?" Bai Liyue adjusted her breathing deeply, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, raised her eyes and stared at Si Haoyan quietly, "If that's the case, then ask the Great Apocalypse King to give the ghost city a holy decree?"
The atmosphere was stalemate for a while, no one spoke, two sharp eyes clashed in sight, and no one refused to back down.
Bai Liyue's meaning is very clear, the ghost city does not belong to any country, even the king of Daqi has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of the ghost city, if the young lady of the ghost city can't represent the ghost city, then isn't his princess of the big revelation can't represent the big apocalypse. Or rather...... In fact, Daqi wants to annex the ghost city?
After being silent for about a cup of tea, Si Haoyan suddenly seemed to back down, waved his hand to let the little guard retreat, and walked into the cell, took out an enchantment talisman, and in a few breaths, four enchantments fell around the two, forming a space isolated from the outside world. At this time, there was no longer a figure in sight of the place where this barrier was located.
"The righteous daughter of Youcheng is really different from the rumors. This palace has always wondered, how can a little transparent be a good righteous girl in the ghost city for so many years, it seems that she is all the world's best. ”
Bai Liyue took two steps back, leaned her back against the edge of the barrier, and waited for Si Haoyan to speak. She wasn't here to chat with him, if she hadn't asked for something, why would the three princes of the Great Apocalypse Kingdom come all the way to the ghost city to invite someone?
Si Haoyan saw that Bai Liyue didn't answer, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, after all, the less one person knew about this matter, the less danger he had.
Especially in this kind of matter, Si Haoyan has always been a cautious person, he took out a small sachet from the storage ring and handed it to Bai Liyue.
Bai Liyue only felt a sinking in her hand, and grabbed it reflexively.
A little sachet that doesn't look anything special on the outside?
Bai Liyue raised her eyes and glanced at Si Haoyan, seeing a shallow eagerness in his faint eyes, she suddenly understood, so she put the small sachet close to her nose and sniffed carefully: A wisp of gardenia vanilla that is so faint that it is almost unpleasant?
Bai Liyue opened the sachet, reached out and pinched a small amount of powder in the sachet and brushed it on the tips of her fingers, frowning unconsciously.
It turned out to be the powder of gardenia vanilla king crystal.
However, if it was Gardenia Wang Jing, Bai Liyue probably knew why Si Haoyan went to the ghost city to find Bai Jing'an, so she made up her mind, and thought about how to deal with it while carefully grinding the powder on her fingertips.
In the Hidden City, the City Lord's Mansion will have an experience every year, and all the Bai family's monks surnamed Bai who are over the age of seven and below the fusion period must participate in the fifteen-day survival test on the periphery of the Netherworld Forest.
In that experience seven years ago, Bai Liyue and Bai Jing'an were attacked by demon beasts and fell off a cliff and disappeared for ten days, but they didn't expect that the bottom of the hanging was actually the territory of the Gardenia Vanilla King, it stands to reason that a fourth-order king-level demon beast like the Gardenia Vanilla King would not appear on the periphery of the Netherworld Forest, and in this case, Bai Liyue pulled Bai Jing'an and ran away without thinking about it.
At that time, the two little girls, Bai Liyue was only at the seventh level of qi refining, and Bai Jing'an was also concentrating on the second level, against a king-level demon beast whose strength was comparable to that of the fusion period, what could he do if he didn't run?
Unexpectedly, that night, for some reason, Bai Jing'an secretly turned back alone to steal the flower crown of the Gardenia Vanilla King.
The king-level demon beasts will have a demon crown symbolizing the demon king on the top of their heads, and each demon crown will have a special ability.
Gardenia vanilla itself is a demon grass with wood poison attributes, and the ability of the fourth-level gardenia vanilla king corolla is [Hundred Poisons].
And the easiest way to solve the power of the flower crown is to refine the demon crystal of this demon king with a rune array.
Although I don't know how a little girl who is a second-level demon beast can get the demon crown of a fourth-order demon beast, but seeing that Bai Jing'an is unconscious, she looks like she is about to return to the west, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble after going back, Bai Liyue can only make a move.
Under the night sky, Bai Liyue's hands were sealed, the birthmark behind her left ear flashed, and a bright white seven-bone fan hung in front of her out of thin air.
After a quarter of an hour, the fluorescence in the air dissipated, and no sound was heard around it. The role of Runic Array Sleep begins to work.
This array puts all creatures within range into a deep sleep based on their level. Bai Liyue wiped a handful of fine sweat from her forehead, and used the third-level rune array at the level of qi refining, this unheard of operation method already made her a little unstable.
Due to the large gap in strength, Bai Liyue could only cast a rune array across a mountain, and the larger the range, the shorter the time it could last.
Fortunately, there are usually physical talismans for drawing, Bai Liyue took out ten [teleportation talismans] and sprinkled them, and instantly arrived at the side of the Gardenia Vanilla King.
Looking at the sleeping Gardenia Vanilla King, Bai Liyue directly dug out the Demon Crystal of the Gardenia Vanilla King with a dagger, and without stopping for a moment, she threw ten more [Teleportation Charms] and returned.
At night, the fairy of the Gardenia Vanilla King glows with a light green light. Taking advantage of the peak of the demonic power, Bai Liyue began to refine the gardenia vanilla Wang Jing with the Requiem Array, put it in a small cloth bag, stuffed it into Bai Jing'an's body, and fell asleep.
After this experience, there was a rumor in the hidden city: Bai Jing'an, the eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion, fought against the Gardenia Vanilla King with the strength of one person with only the second-level cultivation of Concentrating, not only obtained the demon crown of the Gardenia Vanilla King, but also successfully refined the Gardenia Vanilla King Crystal, which was in the limelight for a while.
It's just that, generally speaking, it takes about forty years for the fourth-level demon king crystal to disappear, and the lowest level of the general demon king will be two or more levels higher than that of ordinary demon beasts, so the lowest level of the gardenia vanilla king is also level four.
In other words, this sachet has existed for at least 30 years.
The rune array master of more than thirty years ago......
"Si Haoyan, do you want me to refine Wang Jing for you?" Since he knew that this was Wang Jing powder, Bai Liyue didn't bother to play dumb riddles with him.
"Conditions?" Si Hao said, his expression did not seem to have changed at all, and his quiet tone was as cold as ever.
"I said His Royal Highness the Third Prince, are you tempting?" Bai Liyue didn't move, there was already the edge of the enchantment behind her, unless she used the boundary breaking charm to go out, she really couldn't move now. Buyers and sellers, before they have absolute strength, generally suffer more losses when they offer first, right?
"You can say your terms, or you can choose to stay here forever. But obviously, Si Haoyan has no interest in bargaining.
"Oh, this is coercive again?" Bai Liyue wondered in her heart whether it was worth making her own move, after all, she had not cultivated all these years, and all her cultivation was the result of natural acceptance, if she wanted to refine Wang Jing with the cultivation of the fourth level of condensation, it would definitely attract the snatching of forces from all sides.
Now she has no intention of joining any of the forces, if she chooses a big tree, as a lonely bird, if she is not careful, she is likely to be devoured to the scum.
In terms of cultivation, the fourteen-year-old contemplation period can only be said to be mediocre in qualifications, and there is nothing outstanding about it, and the average level of fifteen years old in this wasteland continent is about four or five levels in the contemplation period, but as a talisman master, it is different, in people's cognition, refining Wang Jing requires at least a fourth-level talisman master.
The levels of the monks are divided into ten stages, namely: Qi Refining, Concentrating, Converging, Fusion, Introduction, Purification, Condensation, Consolidation, Dacheng, and Feathering, and each stage is divided into ten levels.
It is said that after the tenth level of feathering, he can pass the test of heaven and earth and ascend to the upper realm, but the current president of the monk alliance is only the eighth level of condensation, so what will happen after that is just a legend.
And the requirements of the rune array master are one stage higher than the cultivation level, that is to say, the rune array master who refines Wang Jing, the minimum required fourth-level rune array master, is at least a monk who induces menstruation.
The rune master can draw the rune on the spot, or ask the engraver to engrave the rune array in the rune array book, and ordinary monks can input spiritual power into the rune array book, and input the corresponding spiritual power according to the level and size of the rune array, and the rune array can play a role.
Just like the enchantment talisman induced by Si Haoyan, the general enchantment talisman is a single talisman array, which is one of the simplest talismans, so almost any monk can trigger it.
This is also the fundamental reason why Bai Liyue only has a concentrating period, and Si Haoyan does not have the slightest doubt that she can refine Wang Jing.
Bai Liyue suddenly thought of such a way, and there was a way to refine Wang Jing without making a move in front of Si Haoyan.
"Whether it's coercion or temptation, it's okay to negotiate conditions, but His Royal Highness the Prince, is this the sincerity of your Daqi?" Bai Liyue threw the bag back as soon as she raised her hand, and the bag fell firmly into Si Haoyan's hand, and disappeared again in an instant, thinking that it was collected into the storage ring by Si Haoyan.
Si Haoyan only thought for a moment before withdrawing the enchantment. After all, everyone is here, and they recognize Wang Jing so quickly, so why not give it a try?
