Chapter 16: Fiction and Reality Intertwined
Xiao Yibai quietly protected the tent with a spell, and while skillfully handling the corpse, he stretched out his left hand to let the imprint in the palm of his hand emerge in the form of a light mirror.
In the distant Imperial Capital City, the crown prince, who had already known everything through the perception of the Soul Splitting Dafa, was also frowning and pondering, Xiao Yibai's face was obviously more anxious than the crown prince, and he even lowered his voice a little angrily: "It's really a blood butterfly raised by the insect control technique...... Mingxi, there is something strange about this matter, recently I was in the Qianji Palace, Cen Ge had already loosened his mouth and was ready to agree to our conditions, how could he suddenly use the insect control technique to sneak attack the military camp at such a time? ”
"There's an inner ghost." Mingxi calmly answered, and replied with his cheeks, "I told you before that Gao Chengchuan arranged for the people from the dark department to pass, although the wind demon and the dark department have fought several times in the past few years, but they are all fighting in the dark without too much publicity, and we know very little about the group of people under him, it seems that Governor Gao is indeed covering the sky with one hand, and he has the ability to get involved in the divine religion of aliens like the White Sect, and the two fire beads that Luo Qi sent to you before must have been instructed by him, hehe, he wants to borrow your hand to hit the White Sect hard, and then borrow the hand of the White Sect to kill your brother." Kill two birds with one stone. ”
"Inner Ghost ......" Xiao Yibai's eyes were awe-inspiring, and all his thoughts were attracted by these two words, "Even the insect control techniques raised within them are divided into many kinds, the blood butterfly is not only the most powerful one, but it also needs to be fed with a blood curse for many years before it can finally break out of the chrysalis, is there still someone in the White Sect who can control the blood butterfly now?" ”
"Isn't it strange, the recent Snow Lake Festival, didn't there be a lot of disciples from the four realms who went back? The lives of aliens are already multiple to those of humans, and it may not be necessary to have the former high-ranking elders or even the great priests. The crown prince took a sip of tea slowly, his light golden eyes were calm and indifferent, and reminded, "Don't look at the army coming down the mountain, in fact, Luo Qi has been pretending for so many years, I estimate that the disciples have long been accustomed to it and don't take it seriously at all, only Cen Ge knows the seriousness of the matter, but as the chief secretary, in this situation of disparity between the enemy and himself, he can neither mess up his own position and cause panic, but also can't tell the truth so that the disciples will not sacrifice their lives desperately, so they can only carry out the Snow Lake sacrifice according to the usual practice on the surface, Secretly discuss with you to evacuate first, as soon as he leaves, Baijiao is an empty shell, this battle can be won without a fight, Gao Chengchuan definitely doesn't want to see this kind of thing happen, what he has to do is to provoke contradictions and make you both lose, and then he can push the boat down the river and become the last fisherman. ”
Mentioning this, Xiao Yibai pressed his eyebrows with a headache, and didn't notice that the blood stains on his hands were directly wiped on his face, and said worriedly: "Qianye thought it was the military camp that Cen Ge sent people to sneak attack, and he killed a few ordinary disciples on the mountain just now, it's troublesome, I remember that the civil strife more than thirty years ago was also mixed in with a traitor of a rare bloodline, and this time I want to do it again!" I need to remind him to be more wary of the people around him......"
"Don't go." This time, Mingxi stopped him very seriously, holding the teacup slightly and whispering, "Before, I had to let you stay in Qianji Palace to recuperate because of the suddenness of the incident, but now that I know that there are people from the dark department there, I can't let you take risks anymore." ”
"If you don't solve the misunderstanding quickly, they will really fight, and I can't stop it." Xiao Yibai also looked at the person behind the light mirror with a solemn face, "The wind demon uses the dark butterfly to transmit messages needs to be raised for a year, but one can only live for a month, and now I don't have a dead butterfly in my hand, I have to go up the mountain to tell him these things." ”
In the dim light and shadow, the crown prince's silhouette had an indescribable haze, and he paused for a long time before thinking about it again and again: "The White Sect itself is not clean, this Cen Ge knows better than anyone else, otherwise, with his strength, he would rather die than compromise, do you want to solve the misunderstanding?" That's impossible, you can't let your brother know about the Wind Demon yet. ”
"He doesn't know anything!" Xiao Yibai suddenly raised his tone, and for some reason he felt a faint pain in his chest, "Qianye doesn't know anything, the White Sect is a complete cult in his eyes." ”
"He doesn't know anything." Mingxi repeated this sentence in a more calm tone, only his shoulders were suddenly shocked inadvertently, "You also said that he didn't know anything, Kunlun Mountain cultivated him into a righteous and kind knight, but I don't need a knight with the world in mind!" What I need is an officer and politician who is good enough to be able to hold down the four realms! He is very good, but only outstanding in personal ability, which is enough to make his peers unattainable, but it is useless! In the Flying Wall - this kind of thing doesn't work! ”
Xiao Yibai clenched his fists hard, but he couldn't refute half a word of the crown prince's words.
Mingxi looked at him without blinking, and his light golden eyes had the domineering awe-inspiring spirit of a king: "In the past half a year, I asked him to go to the Eighth Hall of Military Aircraft to participate in adaptive training, except for spells, his results in various subjects are very good, I can even say without exaggeration that Feiyuan has not produced such an excellent talent in a hundred years, but he also has many weaknesses, every point is deadly enough, I have actually been testing him, now he is very unfamiliar with his country, he doesn't know how powerful Gao Chengchuan is, I don't know how complicated the forces within the imperial court are, if we involve him in the wind demon so quickly, and let him know that the dozens of major cases that have shocked the four realms over the years are all deliberately done by us in order to weaken the opponent's forces, what will he think? Does he still think that the current military pavilion is the dream he dreamed of when he was younger? ”
The two were silent at the same time, and I don't know how long it took for Prince Mingxi to sigh faintly, and he continued to drink the cold tea in his hand: "It's impossible for him not to feel any special relationship between you and Cen Ge when he goes to Jia Luo this time, right?" But he didn't ask much, on the one hand, you are his only brother, and on the other hand...... Now he is just a person who has come back, and his heart is still left in Kunlun Mountain, which is separated by a sea, so he doesn't care about the matter of Feiyuan, he only knows that I gave him an order to lead troops to attack the White Sect, and he doesn't know that the White Sect is not important to me, the important thing is that I want to win the position of the master of the military pavilion for him, and I want to seize the military power of the four realms, these things are too complicated, it is normal for him to be unaware of this for ten years in Kunlun Mountain, I will give him time to change slowly, but not now. ”
Xiao Yibai didn't reply, and after a long time, Prince Mingxi behind the light mirror slowed down his tone and reminded in a low voice: "If you let him know the inside story of the Wind Demon now, then...... A year ago, the truth of the Tianzheng Mansion's extermination case will be revealed, you don't want to have a showdown with him so soon, right? ”
Before the words fell, Xiao Yibai's shoulders trembled violently, and then the whole person relaxed in a depressed manner, he raised his hand tremblingly and pressed his forehead, trying his best to control his body from trembling too much.
One night a year ago, when he closed the doors and windows as usual and was about to start practicing spells, suddenly there was a strange coldness in his body, just when he thought it was an illusion caused by spells, the cold feeling was replaced by blazing heat in an instant, through the power of the spell around him, he was surprised to see his eyes turn a rare ice blue, he raised his hand in disbelief to touch his own outline in the illusion, and found that his hand turned into an even more terrifying claw, Sharp white thorns pierced through the scaly skin, and even the nails stretched out impressively, revealing a scarlet blood glow.
He only vaguely remembered that the heat of his body made him extremely violent, and he rushed out of the room like crazy, and the loud noise woke up the servants of the house, and under the horrified gaze of everyone, his father and mother hurried into his courtyard in a thin nightgown.
A shrill voice rang through his eardrums and reverberated directly in his head - "Kill them all." ”
He snapped off the head of a servant, blindfolded his eyes with the heat of blood, and a hunger he had never seen before rush desperately into the crowd that had frightened the stupefies, one, two, three...... He heard himself laughing, laughing wildly, and then swept his father to rush out with his sword, the man who was the head of the family didn't have time to figure out what was going on with his son, but instinctively rescued the servant and protected him, but maybe the opponent was his own son after all, Xiao Lingyun's sword momentum deviated from the angle every time, and finally he was pierced through the chest by him under a certain dodge, and staggered to the ground.
At that moment, Xiao Yibai did not have the slightest worry, but pounced even more happily, the seriously injured father had no time to protect the defenseless mother, and could only watch as the son who looked like a mad demon twisted off his wife's head with his own hands.
After that, his consciousness was blank, there was only blood in his eyes, after the crazy slaughter, there seemed to be a fierce beast in his heart that was also roaring madly, until a blazing flame fell from the sky, a strange woman jumped down from the back of a flame bird, and a blow knocked him out of his mind, and Feng Ji, the head of the hundred spirits who had not appeared for fifty years, appeared in the heavily guarded inner city of the imperial capital without warning, and buried all the truth with a fire before the patrolling guards arrived at the Tianzheng Mansion, Then he took him unconscious to the Weeping Snow Plateau, thousands of miles away.
It was already a few days later when he was sober again, he looked at the woman in front of him who only lived in the legend, and listened to her calmly talk about the tragedy that happened that night, and he couldn't believe that he was out of control and single-handedly slaughtered his parents, causing the "Tianzheng Mansion Annihilation Case" that shocked Feiyuan later.
Contrary to the legendary image of the scenery that single-handedly guarded the flying wall and fell into the sea, the actual Feng Ji was a woman who looked a little haggard and vicissitudes, she stood in front of the huge snow monument, one hand lightly on the snow, and then turned to him and smiled as plain as water, and asked, "Can you understand the words on it?" ”
He looked up in the direction of the other party, this snow monument seemed to be connected to the moat, and there was no end in sight, at first glance he only felt that there was nothing similar to words on it, but at the second glance, there seemed to be a strange feeling in his heart, which made him nod his head and shake his head, Feng Ji didn't seem to be surprised by his reaction, the slender and pale finger fell lightly on his forehead, and in an instant he had insight into the most obscure secret in his body, and earnestly advised: "No wonder you can wake me up from my sleep, your bloodline is very dangerous, If it is not controlled, it will evolve into the same indiscriminate killing as before. ”
He listened blankly, every word like a fantasy.
"My health has been getting worse and worse over the years." Feng Ji sighed and smiled helplessly, "Many times I hear the call from the Snow Lake Festival, but my body can't wake up like I'm dead, and only the power of the ancient species can wake me up." ”
"Bloodline ......" Xiao Yibai repeated these two words in disbelief, completely unable to understand the true meaning of the other party's words, Feng Ji nodded, looked into his eyes and told again, "Ancient species, legend has it that it is a race that was replaced by fierce beasts after devouring the gods, although this power has been diluted by time, but a magic genius with outstanding talent like you is extremely easy to explode out of control." ”
"Impossible!" Xiao Yibai retorted categorically, his heart beating violently in his chest at an unprecedented speed, and his breathing was short, "Tianzheng Mansion is a famous family in the imperial capital, if there is a bloodline of a fierce beast...... That's the same as being an alien! It is impossible for an alien to live in the Imperial Capital! ”
"Interracial?" Feng Ji laughed, and let out a cold snort lightly, her pale face had a beauty that surpassed all things, "What about the alien race?" Ancient Species...... More powerful than the bloodline of the Ming Dynasty today. ”
She paused slightly, as if she remembered something more important, it has been a thousand years since the flying wall fell into the sky, this kind of aristocratic son who has been pampered in the imperial capital city for a long time is of course difficult to accept that he has a contemptible foreign bloodline, Feng Ji was silent for a long time and did not continue this topic, and reminded seriously: "Although the ancient bloodline is strong, it is actually very weak to inherit it from you, if you don't want to cause unnecessary trouble because of this, then cover up your identity, This snow tablet records some special mental methods from the heavenly realm, you have the bloodline of the ancient species, study hard, for yourself, but also for the people around you. ”
Soon, the Tianzheng Mansion extermination case was pressed down by the crown prince single-handedly, and all the responsibility was naturally pushed to this woman who trespassed into the imperial capital city without permission, as if a stone sank into the backwater, the truth and the lie were perfectly intertwined, and they were slowly forgotten under the buffer of time.
Soon after, he learned another thing that surprised him, on the same day that he lost control and went violent, his younger brother who was far away in Kunlun Mountain in the Central Plains fell from the cliff, but fortunately he was rescued by his sister from the same door and survived, and it was precisely because of this fall off the cliff that he was injured, and his younger brother was forced to stay and recuperate for half a year, which gave Mingxi enough time to help him erase all the clues, and pushed everything to Feng Ji, who disappeared again, and also closed the case on the bright side of the confusing "Tianzheng Mansion Annihilation Case".
He vaguely felt that there should be some special relationship in this, but after all, he chose to hide it out of guilt - yes, he had a guilt for his younger brother, a kind of unspeakable guilt that had to be buried deep in his heart, so even though he had never been interested in officialdom for so many years, he also offered to go with him this time, not only to help Mingxi, but also to help his younger brother get back to the military cabinet.
He knew better than anyone that the military pavilion was the most special existence for his younger brother, it was the place he had been looking forward to since he was a child, and it was the glory and dream of his youth.
Thinking of these past events, Xiao Yibai stopped the trembling of his whole body, he silently ignited the spiritual magic in his hand and completely burned several corpses, and his face returned to his usual coldness: "There are not many people who can control the blood butterfly, as long as you notify Cen Ge, you can quickly find out who the ghost is, and you can't let such a dangerous person lurk in the White Sect." ”
Prince Mingxi frowned and looked at the person who suddenly calmed down, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and reminded in a low voice: "I'll say it again, don't go to ......"
Before the words fell, Xiao Yibai took the initiative to cut off the contact with the Soul Splitting Dafa, and the light mirror also dissipated at the same time.
