Chapter Seventy-One: The Lotus Throne

In front of the lotus god seat in the main hall of the Thousand Machines Palace, Xiao Yibai could no longer take care of the white tiger soldiers in the divine farmland outside, he opened the light mirror, and the opposite appeared was the crown prince Mingxi in the imperial capital.

The crown prince was dealing with government affairs in the Ink Pavilion at this time, and the magic mirror was refracted from the jade wrench in his hand without his permission, Mingxi glanced at the door that was not completely closed, and through the crack in the door, several ministers turned around and retreated from him, and they hadn't even left the Ink Pavilion yet.

"You're getting more and more presumptuous. Prince Mingxi reproached quietly, closed the door casually, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Yibai behind the light mirror, and asked, "You have never come to me like this, has something happened?"

"A thousand nights are gone. Xiao Yibai's other hand opened another magic mirror, the mirror showed a snow-white surface, and he said anxiously, "This is the family crest I left for him, it has my spell on it, he has always cherished this thing, he can't throw it away himself." ”

"Oh?" Prince Mingxi returned to his seat, a butterfly sculpture carved of jade on the table flashed, and then turned into a butterfly and landed in the prince's hand, the prince waved his hand lightly, and ordered: "Let Gongsun Yan come to see me." ”

The butterfly flew away lightly, turned into a cloud of green smoke, and headed for the mirror pavilion next door.

"Last night, there were already people from the dark department who wanted to ambush him directly in the Thousand Machines Palace, and they still used the cartilage poison concocted by the King Water Prison. Xiao Yibai forced himself to calm down, but his body was still trembling uncontrollably, he pressed his forehead and sat directly on the lotus throne, his eyes were full of uneasiness, "The dark department is divided into several ways, and they even brought strange Gu ants, not only against him, but also attacked other guards in the Jialuo territory, as well as the Star Sacrifice Palace, the dark department was helped by the Star Sacrifice Palace this time, otherwise they would not have been so smooth......"

"Did the Star Sacrifice Palace intervene?" Prince Mingxi was startled and asked vigilantly, "Who is it that went to?"

"No, it's the palace master An Yu. Xiao Yibai's face was obviously more ugly than the prince, and he kept rubbing his temples, "The wind demon has investigated that An Yu, she used to be the saintess of Yangchuan, I don't know where she learned some forbidden arts, and then she found people everywhere in the Great Annihilation City to experiment, and it took several years before she was discovered and expelled by the city lord, she can control the soul and corpse remotely, and even peep at me to a certain extent, if the thousand nights fall into her hands......"

At this point, Xiao Yibai bit his lip angrily, his eyes were sharp and terrifying - his younger brother didn't understand those spells, if it fell into her hands, it would definitely be nine deaths!

Prince Mingxi didn't reply immediately, but carefully thought about the word "An Yu", she came to Tianyu City forty years ago, as a former saint who was expelled from Yangchuan, she must have some special talent, so that her father and emperor can ignore her past suspicions, and even let her take over the Star Palace!

Even the wishful thinking of the "Flying Heaven" plan was actually a calculation made by the Star Sacrifice Palace, as long as the four surrounding realms were sacrificed, the remaining strength would be able to lift Tianyu City back to its homeland.

"Who are our people in Jialuo now?" Prince Mingxi calmly returned to his senses, knowing that at this time, he couldn't mess with himself, but Xiao Yibai seemed to have reached the limit of anger and lost his mind, he hammered on the lotus throne with a fist, let the petals cut his hand, and the blood flowed down the throne, at this moment, the divine seat carved by red jade suddenly lit up, and a strange flame began to ignite from the center, Xiao Yibai was startled, and quickly got up and retreated a few big steps, looking at the scene in front of him incredulously.

His blood made the entire shrine bloom with bright fire, and in the firelight, there seemed to be some mysterious words.

"This is ......" Prince Mingxi couldn't help but want to get closer and see more clearly, those words were not Feiyuan, twisted and twisted, more like some kind of strange symbol.

Xiao Yibai gasped, the previous sect leaders of the White Sect were all rare aliens, and the only condition for taking over the White Sect was to make this Lotus Divine Throne ignite flames! His blood could be like this, the blood of the ancient species...... Is it true that they belong to an alien race?

"Hey, look at what is written on it?" Prince Mingxi called him silently, his pale golden gaze turned a thousand times, staring at Xiao Yibai's expression, he looked at the words motionlessly, and gritted his teeth a little, "Yes and ...... It's the same text as the one on that snow tablet, is this lotus shrine also something left over from the Heavenly Realm? No, it's impossible, the White Sect was established after the fall from the sky, and it can't have something from the Heavenly Realm!"

Prince Mingxi is also thinking carefully, according to the records of the Bai Sect, the White Sect has a history of about 700 years, counting the last generation of sect leaders who have existed in name only, Feiying, there are a total of one hundred and forty sect leaders recorded, it has always occupied the center of Jialuo, it is a powerful force on one side, but it is also very conservative and never interferes in the affairs of other realms of Feiyuan, who founded this huge religion, and what is the purpose, no one knows so far, Baijiao does not even have a god of its own faith, but only takes the snow tablet as the supreme oracle, even so it still collects people's hearts without any softness, and the entire Jialuo is almost its believer!

"Ancient books...... Mingxi, this is an ancient book!" After suddenly understanding the words on it, Xiao Yibai suddenly raised his tone, "Like the 'Shen Yue' owned by the royal family, this is also an ancient book that records the real history!"

"Ancient book!" Prince Mingxi stood up suddenly, his golden eyes were full of disbelief, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side of the light mirror, "What is it written?"

Xiao Yibai looked at the words carefully, he shouldn't know these words, but he seemed to be able to understand their meaning, just like when he first went deep into the snow tablet eight years ago.

"Read it out, read it to me!" The prince anxiously urged, Xiao Yibai paused, nodded, "My name is 'Yujiang', from the heavenly realm, I met Feng Ji by chance, talking about the past, I deeply feel that the mistakes of the initiates are unforgivable, but after ten thousand years, we fight side by side, and we can't bear to be harsh, but the spirits of Guanzhen Island have lost their faith, resentment, there is no hope in their hearts, pity the sufferings of all beings, and founded the 'White Sect' in the name of the initiate, and leave me with a sword 'Fengshen', I hope that the souls on the island will regain their faith, although the blue sky is lost, but the blue sea is saved, and the original intention is not lost. ”

"Yujiang?" Prince Mingxi repeated the name, the "Yujiang" from the heavenly realm, could it be the one with the honorific name "Fengshen"?

It's no wonder that the leaders of the White Sect rarely used swords, but there was one of the three holy swords in the sect, the "Wind God"!

"Faith...... Hum. Xiao Yibai was disdainful, and even made a sneering voice, "The tone of this speech is exactly the same as that left by the god of prophecy on the snow tablet, and sure enough, those guys in the heavenly realm who don't eat the fireworks of the world don't know how to pity the suffering of sentient beings at all! What kind of evil is Lord Feng Ji falling for, and he would believe this kind of nonsense, and really let the Bai Sect gain a foothold in Feiyuan? If it were me, I would definitely destroy this hypocritical belief with my own hands! Fengshen Yujiang...... Does he still want the beings on the Flying Wall to continue to believe in the so-called Twelve Gods of the Heavenly Realm?"

"Feng Ji may have her own troubles. Prince Mingxi smiled awkwardly, the ancestors of the royal family are also the twelve gods of the heavenly realm, and when he said this, didn't he list the royal family as a "hypocritical faith"?

"Wind God!" Xiao Yibai didn't notice Mingxi's expression, his eyes purred, and finally he was happy, "By the way, I gave the Wind God to Yun Xiao, if they have already met, I can find them through the Wind God!"

"Don't worry. Seeing that he was about to leave immediately, Prince Mingxi hurriedly called out to him, coughed lightly, and reproached, "You haven't answered what I asked you just now, how many of our people are there in Jialuo now?"

"In addition to me, there are also Feiying and Elder Mo, Chiqing should also be there, but he hasn't contacted me, maybe he has already gone to the East Underworld in advance. Xiao Yibai paused, looking very impatient, the prince nodded, and said worriedly, "Our people are much less than the dark department, they can not only attack Qianye, but also definitely attack you, you be careful, don't lose your wife and lose your army, and ...... If you find someone in the shadows, leave a living mouth and bring it back. ”

"Oh. Alive. Xiao Yibai sneered and replied nonchalantly, "I'll try my best." ”

"Hey...... Xiao Yibai!" He wanted to say something more, but the other party had already directly cut off the light mirror.

Xiao Yibai carefully checked around the entire Qianji Palace again, and after confirming for the fifth time that there were no Gu ants, he finally made up his mind to leave quickly to find his brother's traces.

He didn't say hello to the white tiger soldiers in the divine farmland in front of him, but quietly walked around to the apse, the great priest Cen Ge, who had been frozen for eight years in the mountain wall, still had the same slightly surprised expression, and a pair of unbelievable eyes looked ahead, but this time, Xiao Yibai involuntarily stopped in front of the ice, and inexplicably turned his head and frowned and stared at him - that unchanging gaze seemed to have a sudden life at this moment, and seemed to have been staring at himself.

Xiao Yibai stepped forward, and for some reason suddenly reached out to put his hand on the ice, and in an instant, the golden sword light intertwined into an invisible net, cutting his hand.

"It's ...... Soul Splitting Dafa!" He looked at his bloody hand in surprise, only to see an inconspicuous trace of white mist floating on the wound, which actually extended from the ice! Looking at the mountain wall again, although it was still firmly bound by the power of the Sealed Ten, a small crack like a needle's eye appeared on the ice, and this white mist-like thing seized the fleeting opportunity from this gap and finally escaped!

Then, the white mist gradually fell into a vague figure in front of him, and the man almost took a few steps back, not daring to get closer to the mountain wall from a distance.

"Cen Ge ......" recognized the appearance of the figure, and Xiao Yibai blurted out incredulously, "You came out?"

"No ......" the figure said lightly, his voice was a little ethereal, as if it would dissipate at any time, "I can't get out, I have been trapped in it for eight years and haven't found a chance to come out, until you accidentally woke up the Divine Seat just now, allowing me to seize this chance at a moment's notice, but even so, I am only using the Soul Splitting Dafa now to escape by dividing my own soul and soul like you." ”

"Sure enough, it's the Great Law of Splitting Souls. Xiao Yibai suddenly calmed down, the White Sect has four forbidden techniques: "Soul Splitting Dafa", "Insect Control Technique", "Blood Curse", and "Bone Curse", when the emperor decided to exterminate the White Sect, it was not a whim, they had spent decades of hard work to study the method of dealing with the White Sect, and the Soul Splitting Dafa was stolen and included in the classic library at that time, which gave him the opportunity to steal learning.

"You'll have to find something to hold me first, though. Cen Ge reminded, held down his heart, which would be loose at any time, and smiled bitterly, "You should know that the soul that is separated must be carried by a spiritual weapon, otherwise it will soon be wiped out." ”

"That's right. Xiao Yibai looked around, and couldn't help frowning, in the main altar of the White Sect, everything that could be removed was swept away by the imperial capital, and now there are some pillars and stone altars left, which don't look like things that can be taken away.

"That...... You go to the secret room and look for it. Cen Ge obviously also discovered this problem, Xiao Yibai spread his hand and said, "Come to my palm first." ”

"Oh, it's good, your bloodline...... It can help me stabilize this soul. Cen Ge nodded, the white mist condensed into a small ball and fell into his palm, Xiao Yibai left the mountain wall and walked towards the snow lake, the secret room of the Bai Sect was located under a secret floor tile next to the snow lake, and at this moment the flying shadow had evacuated.

"It's very warmly decorated. Cen Ge glanced at this familiar secret room, this was the place he used to study forbidden arts, and now his things have long been moved, and this place has been transformed into an ordinary girl's room, with a bed, a pair of tables and chairs, and even a bronze mirror and jewelry box that girls love to use, Cen Ge was a little funny, and winked at Xiao Yibai, "I can't see that you are still quite fond of Feiying, but she is only fifteen years old, who will you show to buy these rouge gouaches for her so early?"

"If you don't buy it for her, you'll keep arguing. Xiao Yibai smiled helplessly, "It's a bad problem that you're used to, right?"

"I'm not used to her. Cen Ge defended, and his vague figure was reflected in the bronze mirror, which made him think of another person, and suddenly said, "My sister Cen Qing is very used to her, Feiying is a child of the Lingyu clan, Lingyu clan...... The clan is wiped out, only a little child is left, and she has no ability to protect herself, hehe, when Cen Qing picked up Feiying, she was only a teenager, and I don't know where she heard the saying of 'eldest sister is like a mother', so she really took care of Feiying as her own child. ”

"Cen Qing. Xiao Yibai's eyes were like electricity, and he sighed, "That year, she left after throwing Feiying to me, although she promised that I would come back to help when I needed it, but I didn't hear from her at all." ”

"She should be able to take care of herself, you don't have to worry about our ancestral night clan, it's more important to worry about yourself. Cen Ge was faint, he was very relieved of his sister who had been missing for eight years, he carefully checked the small jewelry left by Feiying, there were butterfly clips, star-like pendants, and dolls in the shape of rabbits, Cen Ge coughed embarrassedly, and asked, "Are these all bought by you?" I want to put these things in...... Well, it's a bit of a shame to be honest. ”

"Just pick one, although it's not a good spiritual weapon, it's better than those pillars outside. Xiao Yibai urged, and casually pointed to the pendant, "Otherwise, it's just this, with convenience." ”

"Hmm...... That's all there is to it. Although Cen Ge was not very happy, and there was nothing more suitable at the moment, he could only reluctantly get in, Xiao Yibai put away the pendant, and only listened to the people inside continue, "Although I don't like your brother very much, I can only temporarily ally with you, Xiao Yibai, I heard your conversation, the big palace master of the Star Sacrifice Palace in your mouth, An Yu, frankly speaking, the Bai Sect has investigated her, she is not like a human being, but more like the kind of monster in the legend." ”

"Monsters?" Xiao Yibai asked keenly, Cen Ge pondered for a moment, and continued, "You should know, the three demons in Feiyuan, the water area of Cang Shark, the nightmare demons can fall asleep, and the rest of the earthbound spirits can steal souls, the earthbound spirits have attacked Yangchuan many times, and then disappeared for many years, there is no trace of them, and An Yu also happens to be from Yangchuan, right?"

"Having said that, I've seen An Yu, but I haven't actually felt the breath of a monster on her. Xiao Yibai held his chin and thought, he had seen An Yu, the palace master of the Star Palace, at the annual banquet of the three armies three years ago, if it was really a monster, he couldn't be unaware!

"Then you can only find out the truth if you find her herself......"

"Before I do that, I'm going to find my brother. Xiao Yibai interrupted him impatiently and said coldly, "I know you have some strange spells, can you help me find their location?"

"Oh, do you still need my help from someone like you?" Cen Ge chuckled, word by word, "I remember that you should know that kind of magic, what is it called the art of killing heaven and earth......"

"You're really unlikable, if Mingxi didn't want to win you over to join the Wind Demon, I wouldn't want to bring you with me at all. Xiao Yibai secretly pinched the pendant hard, turned around and left the secret room, and walked towards the more dangerous snow field behind the Thousand Machine Palace.

There are still remnants of Cen Qing's wind and snow skills in the back mountain, Xiao Yibai doesn't care about the rugged and inconvenient terrain here, only to see that he directly opened his left hand, and raised the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, drew a five-pointed star on the palm of his hand, and silently recited in his mouth: "The blood of the crane in the sky, the blue and the green, the mountains and rivers of thousands of miles, draw the ground as a prison." ”

With the place where he was standing, a circle of ice-blue light swayed, like an invisible paintbrush outlining the mountains and rivers of the entire Feiyuan territory, Xiao Yibai also couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat at this moment, trying to stabilize the formation, and carefully searching.

The art of punishing heaven and earth requires a huge amount of spiritual power, summoning the earth spirit hidden in the depths of the earth for his own use, even Lord Feng Ji used this method to find the traces of the two fugitives in Wanling Peak at that time, but for his current soulless body, this spell is undoubtedly too risky, but he has no choice, once his younger brother is taken out of the territory of Jialuo, it will be even more difficult to find him!

"Found it!" Xiao Yibai and Cen Ge spoke almost at the same time, looking at one of the points.

"Around that...... I remember there were no villages. Cen Ge was a little puzzled, and even began to question the accuracy of this technique, Xiao Yibai was already physically exhausted, he leaned on the rock on the side, gasped for breath, and eased up for a long time, Zhengse said, "No, there are no villages nearby, there used to be a group tribe there, it was a tribe of aliens, and then they moved away, and it was buried by the perennial wind and snow and the snow field was integrated, if the dark department established a stronghold there, it was indeed enough to hide people's eyes." ”

"Oh...... You know this snowfield better than I do. Cen Ge was a little incredulous, but looking at his expression, he seemed to be very tired, he thought silently for a while, the technique of punishing heaven and earth is rumored to be a heavenly realm spell recorded on the snow tablet, which will definitely consume the caster's huge spiritual power and physical strength, this is the price that human beings must pay if they try to get involved in the divine realm.

"I'll give you a ride. After a long time, Cen Ge sighed inexplicably, "For the sake of you taking care of the sect leader for so many years, I will send you over this time." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Yi's white eyes flashed, and he saw a few faceless necromancers emerge from the snow under him, although they were translucent, but they easily lifted his whole person into the air, Cen Ge smiled maliciously, and reminded, "Necromancers are not like the Heavenly Expedition Bird that can be caught to prevent themselves from falling!

Before the words fell, Xiao Yibai only felt a cold wind blowing in his ears, and the necromancer let out a rampant laugh like a gray lightning bolt in the distance!
