Chapter Forty-Six: Three Jade Boxes
"What danger?" Bai Cangdong wrote, staring at Ziyi.
"There is no time to explain, you go to the northwest of the palace, and when you reach the end, you will see a black corner tower, and there is a stone ghost statue under the corner tower, and the tip of the stone ghost statue's nose is clicked three times, and its own passage portal opens. After a pause, Ziyi continued to write: "That passage is the way out, but there will be a place in the middle, where there are three thousand six hundred fruit trees, each one is different, each one bears fruit, of which three thousand five hundred and ninety-nine are immovable, you count as you walk, and when you count to the one hundred and sixty-five, pick the fruit on the tree and eat it, so that you can leave safely, remember, you can only eat one fruit, not more, not less, and not many picks." ”
"Give me a reason, why should I believe you? You said that you had amnesia and don't remember anything, but now you know everything, and you even know many secret things in this ancient demon hall, who are you? How do you make me believe you?" Bai Cangdong stared at Ziyi and wrote.
"On the stone steps of a thousand years of dreams, I remembered some things, but they were only fragments, some things I still didn't understand, and there was no way to explain them to you, if you believe me, then do as I say, only then you can live. Ziyi wrote with an impassive expression.
Bai Cangdong looked at Ziyi with a complicated expression, and wrote after a while: "Even if I believe in you, but now that the Red Dragon Sage wants my life, if I return to Nanli City, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape death." ”
"You go back with a dream for a thousand years, as long as everyone knows that a dream for a thousand years has recognized you as the master, don't say that it is Nanli City, even if it is in Nanli Academy, no one dares to blatantly move you, there is a dream of a thousand years, no matter what you were sent here for, you can leave the Heavenly Demon Field now and go back to Nanli Academy. And you must also leave the Heavenly Demon Realm as soon as possible, and you must return to the Nanli Academy, so that the Dream of a Thousand Years can play its greatest role to ensure that you do not die. Ziyi wrote.
"Who the hell are you?" Bai Cangdong stared at Ziyi, these things that Ziyi said were too bizarre and weird, he didn't know whether to believe him or not.
"I don't know. Ziyi shook his head, and suddenly his face changed slightly, and his body bounced up like a snake, burrowed into the hole in the ceiling, and then restored the stone slabs on the ceiling, showing no sign that anyone had ever come.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the house, Bai Cangdong answered, the stone door was opened, and a demon walked in.
"Magician, the Emperor invites you to go to the Imperial Pavilion to talk about it. The demon man looked at Bai Cangdong, and his face showed a little flattery.
"What is the emperor looking for me?" Bai Cangdong chuckled in his heart, since that day in the Ancient Demon Palace, Bai Cangdong has not seen Mingyuexin again, I don't know why Mingyuexin wants to see him again today.
"I'm just a subordinate, how dare I speculate on the emperor's intentions without permission, the magician will naturally know when he goes. "The demon didn't show his mouth at all.
Bai Cangdong had to follow the demon to the Emperor Pavilion, and the demon couldn't move forward when he reached the door, so Bai Cangdong climbed the Emperor Pavilion on his own.
Bai Cangdong walked up the stone steps to the top of the Emperor Pavilion, only to see Mingyue Xin standing in front of the window staring at the ancient demon palace group outside.
"I wonder what the emperor is looking for me?" Bai Cangdong asked after coughing lightly.
"The magician, please take a seat, Mingyue has something to understand, and wants to ask the magician for guidance. Mingyuexin turned her head and smiled slightly, and Bai Cangdong, who looked at it, suddenly froze.
The smile of the arrogant and cold Mingyue Heart actually has a kind of looking back and smiling, even if it is an iceberg ice cave, I am afraid that it will be melted by Mingyue Xin's smile.
"My knowledge is shallow, if it is not a confidential matter, the emperor can talk and listen to it, if I know that I should do my best to solve the emperor's doubts, if I don't know, then there is no way. Bai Cangdong said.
"It's not about learning, it's about personal thoughts and feelings, and the magician will be able to answer me. Mingyue smiled heartily.
"What is the matter with the emperor first?" Mingyuexin said simply, but Bai Cangdong did not dare to accept it.
"Does the magician think that humans and demons can fall in love and unite?" Mingyue looked at Bai Cangdong with beautiful eyes, her lips opened lightly, but the question she asked made Bai Cangdong pause.
Bai Cangdong thought that he wanted to ask some profound question, or some kind of literary and Taoist problem, but he didn't expect to ask such a question.
For Bai Cangdong from the earth, this is not a problem at all, there is no difference between the appearance of humans and demons, and there is not much difference between whites and blacks on the earth, so there is naturally no problem with falling in love and combining.
What's more, countless film and television works on the earth have already had love of different races, Avatar's interracial love, and the love with robots, which can be seen often, and has long been accepted by earthlings, in Bai Cangdong's view, the combination of human and demon love is not a matter at all.
Moreover, the demon women that Bai Cangdong has seen are all very beautiful, whether it is half-life or Mingyuexin, their beauty and temperament are not comparable to those of human beings on the earth, if a woman like them is born on the earth, then there is no woman on the earth except them, I am afraid that there is no woman who can be beautiful.
If such a woman is in love with a human being, it should be the happiness of a human man, and of course there will be no problem.
"Of course you can, is there anything wrong with this?" Bai Cangdong replied directly as it should be.
Mingyue's beautiful eyes lit up, and she seemed to be extremely happy, her jade hand was raised lightly, and she pointed to the three jade boxes on the table in front of Bai Cangdong, looked at Bai Cangdong with a smile and said, "Magician, if you were asked to choose one of these three jade boxes, which one would you choose?"
"Is there any explanation for this?" Bai Cangdong looked at the three identical jade boxes on the table suspiciously.
"There's nothing to say, just choose by feeling. Mingyue smiled heartily.
"Then this one. Bai Cangdong pointed to the jade box in the middle, the three jade boxes were exactly the same, there was nothing to choose at all, so he just pointed at it.
"This box was given to the magician, and it was given to me that the magician gave me a new life. Mingyuexin gave the jade box to Bai Cangdong.
"How embarrassing is this, you let me live here temporarily, which is already a kindness to the name. Bai Cangdong thought to himself that Mingyue's heart was so kind, don't want it in vain, and the things sent by the Demon Emperor are definitely not ordinary things, so naturally there is no reason to refuse.
"Staying here for a while is what should be done, and how can it be regarded as repaying the kindness, today you received this jade box, it can be regarded as Mingyuexin's true return of kindness, and there is no debt to the magician from now on. ”
"The emperor is really a person with clear grievances, so I might as well be respectful. Bai Cangdong unceremoniously took the jade box into his arms.
"Now that the favor has been repaid, we can talk about it on an equal footing. Since the magician thinks that there is no problem for humans and demons to fall in love and union, then the magician is willing to become the emperor's imperial concubine?"
Bai Cangdong almost choked to death with his own saliva, his eyes widened and he looked at the beautiful and peerless Mingyue Xin incredulously, completely unable to believe what he had heard.
