Chapter 305: White Lies
As flames filled Durantua's body, flames began to flow from her eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth.
Soon, the whole bed began to burn, and a raging flame rose to the top of the tent, from where it spread out in all directions.
Su Man hurriedly escaped with Baomeng in her arms, and the moment she escaped, the entire tent was engulfed in flames.
Su Man shouted to the Su guards outside, and the Su guards hurried in to put out the fire, but the water was just enough for daily life, and it was not enough to fight the fire.
Not long after, Daouria arrived, Su Man stepped forward with the princess in his arms, and just told Queen Dauria about the burning, the old clan king Tuohetai appeared, snatching Bao Meng at the same time, and asked the Su Guards to take Su Man away directly.
Su Man looked at Bao Meng and said, "After that, I was locked up in prison, I don't know how long, I heard the guards saying that the clan king sent you to Huayuan to be a hostage, as for the rest, I don't know at all."
Bao Meng was completely frozen, and his mind kept flashing back to the imaginary image of his mother, Durantuya, covered in flames.
Tang Xiaohao asked, "Then, you were brought to the Seven Stars Trick Dao, right?"
Su Man nodded, "That's right, and besides, I remember very well that the person who took me out of prison was Antai."
Antai again? Tang Xiaohao was shocked: "Can I understand it this way, Lord Antai may not know less than you and your father?"
Su Man shook his head: "I don't know, but Lord Antai is a very cautious person, she has a very strict mouth, and she doesn't like to talk on weekdays, and the most important thing is that she is a member of the Harcha tribe, and belongs to the direct descendants of the king of the Sarena clan, and it is precisely because of these that she is very special in the Torsi tribe."
After finishing speaking, Su Man looked at Tang Xiaohao and asked, "Don't you, are you suspicious of Lord Antai?"
Tang Xiaohao shook his head: "It's not a doubt, it's just a doubt."
Tang Xiaohao then looked at Bao Meng: "Aunt Suman, please take care of the princess, I need to think about it alone, there are some things I don't understand."
Su Man got up and came to Bao Meng's side, hugged Bao Meng, and then said to Tang Xiaohao, "If you have any questions, just ask me, as long as I know, I will tell you."
Tang Xiaohao got up and walked two steps, then stopped again, turned around and asked, "Aunt Suman, what was your mood when you saw Bao Meng coming out of that egg?"
Su Man smiled and hugged the treasure in his arms tighter: "Joy."
Tang Xiaohao looked at Bao Meng and said, "Bao Meng, did you hear that? No one treats you as a monster, you are not a monster, Aunt Suman treats you as her own daughter, and I promise you that I will definitely find out about your mother."
Bao Meng didn't react, just lay in Su Man's arms with his eyes glazed.
It was impossible for this seventeen-year-old girl to accept such a cruel truth in a short period of time.
After Tang Xiaohao left the tree house, he originally wanted to summon Tang Rongrong and Zhan Tianya to ask, but this battle made the two of them use up their magic power, and they needed a long rest and had to give up.
Li Yunfan and Tong Hu take care of the seriously injured Tong Leopard.
After seeing Tang Xiaohao come out, Dongshan Xiao immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything I can do?"
Because Dongshan Xiao has no physical relationship, he can't even help with ordinary trivial things, and looking at those injured half-demons and mountain boys, he feels that he is particularly useless.
Tang Xiaohao looked at the canopy above: "Brother Dongshan, you help me go up and take a look, is there a place on it where people can stand?" I want to see the stars."
Dongshan Xiao quickly flew up and looked at it and said, "You climb up along the trunk of the tree, there is a place to stand on it, you follow me."
Tang Xiaohao, under the leadership of Higashiyama Xiaoxiao, came to the top of the canopy, and after passing through the dense black leaves at the top, he finally saw the sky and the stars.
Tang Xiaohao found a comfortable place to lie down, but closed his eyes.
Higashiyama Takashi also kept lying down next to him, floating: "Didn't you say to look at the stars? Why do you close your eyes?"
"Just take a look at it, so I can keep the stars in my heart,"
Tang Xiaohao closed his eyes and replied, "Then, I can think in my heart and look at the stars at the same time."
Higashiyama Takashi didn't understand at all: "What do you mean? Why do you have to keep in mind that you can't think about things when you open your eyes and look at the stars?"
Tang Xiaohao shook his head: "It feels different, because the stars I see and remember in my heart only belong to me."
Higashiyama stood up and said, "Aren't you deceiving yourself?"
Tang Xiaohao finally opened his eyes and looked at Dongshan Xiao: "I finally know why you can't even pass the show."
Higashiyama Xiao wondered, "Why?"
Tang Xiaohao sighed and said, "Your brain is not open...... If you don't have an open mind, you can only do things that follow the rules, you know, even farming and raising livestock need to be open-minded."
Higashiyama Xiao thought for a moment, "You turn around and scold me?"
"I don't need to turn a corner to scold you," Tang Xiaohao got up, "Because I turn around and scold you, you can't understand, on the premise that you don't understand, what's the point of me scolding you?" It's like I said that when I look at the stars, I remember it in my heart, in short, there is something beautiful, just think about it."
Dongshan Xiao shook his head: "I still don't understand."
Tang Xiaohao pointed to the sky: "Look, the sky is full of stars, right? How beautiful. However, these do not belong to me. But people are selfish, so they will have the idea of taking these stars into their arms and only owning them. But that's not realistic, I can't even pick a star, let alone this star."
Higashiyama nodded: "I understand, so, you will keep everything you see in your heart and keep the beauty of this moment forever." No matter whether the blue sky is covered with dark clouds or not, no matter how the stars, the sun and the moon change, the beauty of the moment you see will always be in your heart, right?"
Tang Xiaohao was stupid when he heard it, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "No, Dongshan Xiao, it's not that you don't have a brain, not only is there no problem with your comprehension, but also, summed it up very well, and there is a little bit of romance."
Dongshan Xiao said disdainfully: "Yes, I just summed it up in a more romantic way, if it is straightforward, it is self-deception."
"Uh-" Tang Xiaohao lay down again, "Surely no girl liked you when you were alive, right?"
Dongshan Xiaoxiao said: "No, but I am not rare. Because there are so many girls in the world, just like the stars in the sky, can they belong to me? No, so, it's beautiful, just think about it."
Tang Xiaohao looked sideways at Dongshan Xiao, and suddenly found that today's Dongshan Xiao is very different.
Is he playing dumb? Or is it hard to be sober?
Dongshan Xiaodao: "I have seen the door of life and death open many times today, because, because many people have died......
Tang Xiaohao closed his eyes and asked, "Have the half-demons and the mountain boys entered the door of life and death?"
Dongshan Xiao pretended to be relaxed and said, "That's right, they all entered the gate of life and death and went to the Nine Domains."
Tang Xiaohao breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought they wouldn't be able to go to the Nine Domains, but now I'm relieved, this can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune."
When Dongshan Xiao turned his head to look at Tang Xiaohao, he smiled with a smile on his face: "Yes, luck in misfortune."
Looking at the brief relaxation on Tang Xiaohao's face, Dongshan Xiao relaxed, and then, looked up at the stars.
He lied, because after the death of those half-demons and mountain boys, the living beings did not become undead, but disappeared the moment they left their bodies.
It's like a summer snowflake.
Of course, the door of life and death has not been opened, and not even a yin and yang crack has appeared.
Those poor half-demons and mountain boys, after being forced to change from ordinary people to that appearance, did not even have the qualifications to become undead and enter the Nine Domains.
If Tang Xiaohao knew, he would definitely be even more sad and blame himself.
He promised to take them away.
When he saw Tang Xiaohao kneeling in front of the tree house and apologizing to those survivors, Dongshan Xiao was very uncomfortable.
Dongshan Xiao wanted to tell Tang Xiaohao that he had done his best, and if it weren't for him, there would be no survivors in the Seven Star Trick Dao.
It was also at that moment that Higashiyama Takashi sobered up
, he finally remembered, in fact, he didn't get into the fame exam not because he didn't have an open mind, nor because he didn't work hard enough, but he knew clearly in his heart that if he got the fame and went to his dream, he would eventually be forced to become a person like Wang Anchao, the county commander of Xinzheng County.
He doesn't want to be like that, even if he can't become a member of the court, just a small local sesame official, he has to be a good official.
A good official who can't open his eyes and tell nonsense, a good official with a conscience.
However, it is too difficult, far more difficult than winning this bloody battle today.
Therefore, he chose to become the silly Higashiyama Takashi and lost his goal, which eventually led to him becoming a resentful spirit after his death.
Because his heart is full of resentment, but what he hates is not the cruel reality that fills Jiuyuan, but himself.
So, when he came to his senses, he decided to lie so that the good colt would not be so miserable.
There are too few good people in the world to be cherished.
Dongshan Xiao lay beside Tang Xiaohao and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Tang Xiaohao said: "Thinking about those things that can't be figured out at all, I feel that all things are connected, but I can't connect them, and besides, Feng Feibai said one thing before he died, in his words, it is a secret."
Higashiyama Takashi immediately asked, "What secret?"
Tang Xiaohao opened his eyes and said, "He said that the current head of the Bone Hunter faction, Feng Gu Yan, is the ancestor of the Bone Hunter faction, Feng Heng. He also said that every head of the bone hunter for thousands of years was Feng Heng, but he didn't know how to do it." Look at the book
Higashiyama Xiao's eyes widened: "Then, isn't that immortal? That bone hunter still studies the immortality of a fart? Isn't that a contradiction?"
Tang Xiaohao said: "That's right, it's because of the contradiction that I don't think it makes sense. Also, the words that Little Bell said when she first saw the giant tree Feng Heng Ding also showed that she and Feng Heng knew each other. She is obviously a Ruiyuan Snow Demon, why did she know Feng Heng?"
Higashiyama Takashi approached and asked, "Are you jealous? Your beloved wife has another person in her heart."
Tang Xiaohao got up and said, "No, she didn't have someone else in her heart, it was that person who left a seemingly indelible imprint in her heart."
Higashiyama pouted: "Isn't that what it means?"
"It's not a meaning," Tang Xiaohao shook his head and said, "I have someone else in my heart, I miss it, I love it deeply, and I am branded by others because I have been hurt."
One is active, the other is forced, of course it is different.
So, what is it that little bell is leaving?
Forced or active?
