A dense and quiet wood, among which there was a towering tree that could barely be hugged by four or five men, its shape towering into the sky, its straight trunk black and shiny, and it was submerged in the canopy. From a distance, it looks like a huge canopy.

Under this dark tree, a young woman wearing purple and red brocade stood quietly, as if she had become one with the entire forest, after thousands of years of wind, frost, snow and rain, just waiting for someone to wake her up.

Fortunately, she did not wait long, and a sudden sound of footsteps pierced the silence of the entire woods, and then a handsome young man dressed in white walked slowly towards her through the mottled time between the branches and leaves.

Seeing this young man, the woman seemed a little surprised, and then regained her composure. She showed a polite smile on her face and asked respectfully, "I didn't expect that the person who asked me to come today was actually Your Excellency." It's unexpectedly tight. ”

The boy didn't answer, he walked up to the woman, and then looked quietly at the woman across from him—with his gray-white pupils.

The woman was a little confused, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency asked me today, why do you want to dress like this?" I remember that when I saw it that day, inside Your Excellency's white cloak was clearly a pitch-black Taoist robe, which could be described as unfathomable. But your Excellency has actually put on a common dress today, so that I don't even know what to call it. ”

Hearing this, the boy finally spoke. "Today, you don't need to draw talismans and chant mantras, so naturally you don't need to wear robes. A sneer appeared on the young man's face, and he said, "When it comes to addressing, I don't know how to address you." ”

The woman said, "You and I are considered to have known each other, so why should Your Excellency ask knowingly? She still had a smile on her face.

The boy suddenly laughed, as if the woman's answer was very satisfying to him. He immediately looked directly into the woman's eyes and said word by word, "Miss Xie, hello." ”

The woman couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. But she immediately calmed down, and asked with a smile, "What do you call me? Could it be that Your Excellency doesn't know the little girl?"

The boy shook his head firmly and said slowly, "That's not wrong at all. You are the eldest daughter of Xie Fengxuan, the general of the first rank of the dynasty, and her maiden name is 'Xun Fang'. is also Xie Yixiang's biological sister. ”

"Your Excellency, I don't understand anything?" the woman was still smiling, but her smile seemed a little reluctant.

The young man sneered and said loudly: "Back then, Bi Wuzong provoked the anger of the people and gods because of his killing and surrendering in Chengdu Mansion, and at that time, the emperor had already planned for him, let Xie Fengxuan come to Bifu to bring a message, and after breaking through the remnants of the previous dynasty, he let Bi Wuzong escape the world with a 'violent death' on the way back to the south. That is to say, before Bi Wuzong set out on the expedition, he knew that he would go and not return from this trip, so he discussed with Tang Siye of the Tang Sect and sent his third son Bi Changming to the Tang Sect to raise him, and exchanged Tang Xiaoyue for the fake Bi Changming. Because he was worried that after his 'death', the descendants of the Bi family would be helpless, so he had to think about their future; if Bi Changming had a future in the future, coupled with the power of the Tang Sect, he would be able to take care of the Bi family. In this regard, in the front hall of Bifu that day, everyone has already made it clear and understood, and you naturally know it. ”

The woman didn't answer, just nodded.

The young man continued: "Let me ask Bi Wuzong at that time, since he had already moved the idea of 'raising a son with a child', didn't he think about 'raising a daughter with a daughter'? The reason why Bi Wuzong entrusted Bi Changming to Fourth Master Tang was because of his friendship with Fourth Master Tang, and secondly, because he valued the status of the Tang Sect. But when it comes to 'friendship' and 'status', Bi Wuzong actually has a friend, whether it is 'friendship' or 'status', he is far above the fourth master of Tang Sect, that is General Xie Fengxuan Xie. Since Bi Wuzong has already exchanged his son to the Tang Sect, why didn't he exchange his daughter to Xie Fengxuan together?"

When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but laugh. She said slowly: "Even if Bi Wuzong had this thought, it was just wishful thinking. General Xie may not agree. ”

The young man shook his head and sneered, "Of course Xie Fengxuan agrees. If he didn't agree, why did he need to bring his two daughters with him when he came to Bifu to deliver a message for the emperor? It is even very likely that Xie Fengxuan took the initiative to bring up this matter, and wanted to exchange his own daughter for Bi Wuzong's daughter, so as to find a good way out for the descendants of the Bi family. And Bi Wuzong also had the idea of 'changing his son and raising him' after he changed his daughter, and replaced Bi Changming with Tangmen. ”

The woman couldn't help but say, "In this way, there seems to be some truth. At that time, Bi Changxiao was already an adult, and he was serving in the army, so it was naturally impossible to change out. But she is also Bi Wuzong's daughter, if Bi Wuzong has the idea of 'changing her daughter and raising her', why not exchange Bi Yixiang's evil seed?"

The young man shook his head again and said: "Bi Wuzong didn't know that Bi Yixiang was a sinister at that time, he didn't think about exchanging Bi Yixiang to Xie Fengxuan, because Xie Fengxuan came to Bi Mansion at that time to bring his eldest daughter Xie Xunfang and younger daughter Xie Yixiang together, so naturally he wanted to discuss with Bi Wuzong to see which daughter was more appropriate. In the end, after the discussion between the two, they finally exchanged Miss Xie Xunfang to the Bi family, and asked her to change her name and surname to become Bi Wuzong's daughter, which is now you. And Xie Fengxuan brought Bi Wuzong's daughter back to Jinling and replaced the original Xie Xunfang with her. ”

The woman couldn't help but let out a long breath and said with a smile: "Hearing Your Excellency say this, even I am a little beginning to doubt my own background. ”

Seeing that the other party was still denying it, the young man didn't care, and continued: "Xie Yixiang was only five or six years old at that time, how did she know that her father brought her to Bifu to plan to exchange herself for the Bi family? Just ask a little girl to see her sister being replaced, of course she couldn't accept it, most likely Xie Fengxuan used the 'Heavenly Dew Divine Grace Heart Method' learned from the 'Divine Fire Sect' to completely erase her memory. So in the past ten years, Xie Yixiang has always thought that the serious illness in Bifu was due to the statue of Guan Gong in the front yard, but he didn't know that this was actually a means of stealing the sky and changing the day by the 'Tianlu God's Grace Heart Method'. ”

Hearing the young man say this, the woman finally sighed, both helpless and funny. At that moment, she also looked at the young man's eyes, looked at his pair of gray-white pupils, and said lightly: "Your Excellency's pair of 'double pupils', can you really see the past?"

The young man couldn't help but smile and said: "I didn't expect you to believe that kind of nonsense, things that can be inferred according to common sense, what do you need 'double pupils'?" That night, Bi Wuzong went on a killing spree in the front hall, and when he was about to kill Xie Yixiang, he once said a sentence, saying, 'Xie Fengxuan's daughter doesn't have a good thing, and she should be killed!' You must know that his words naturally scolded you together, and it also confirmed my speculation. ”

The woman sighed, "Oh?" and asked, "So, all this is just your speculation?"

Hearing this, the boy laughed again. I heard him raise his voice and say, "If you want me to show evidence, it will be too easy." Bi Yixiang thought that he was the reincarnation of Guan Gong, and I called it a 'demon barrier' at the time; Zhao Ruo regretted that he couldn't tell which of your sisters was having an affair with him, and he also mistook the murderous Tu Lingxiao for Guan Gong, which I called 'inner demon' at the time. But their symptoms are actually clear to me, they are all bewitched by people with supernatural powers, and this so-called supernatural power is the secret of the Divine Fire Sect's 'Heavenly Dew Divine Grace Method'. ”

After that, he didn't pay attention to the woman's reaction, and said: "Looking at today, there are only two people who will make this 'Heavenly Dew Divine Grace Heart Method', one is the Flowing Gold Venerable of the Divine Fire Sect, and the other is Xie Fengxuan, who has learned the fur. However, although the Venerable Venerable of the Golden Sect is proficient in this magical power, he will only use it to fight bravely with others, which is really unattainable, and in the end, he will die under the sword of Xianjingyue, how can you use this magic power to confuse people's minds, and kill people without seeing blood? And what you will do is this evil skill, which was naturally taught to you by your father Xie Fengxuan back then. ”

Hearing the young man's words, the woman seemed to have finally given up her denial. I saw a cold smile on her face, and said with a smile: "What's more, it's the 'Heavenly Dew Divine Grace Heart Method'? When Xie Fengxuan left me in Bifu, he even taught me his 'Empty Mountain Singing Stream'. It's a pity that I have never looked down on those crude methods of fighting and killing, so I taught his knife skills to Bi Yixiang. Otherwise, Bi Changxiao has always refused to teach Bi Yixiang martial arts, how can she have the ability to pretend to be Guan Gong and kill people?"

The boy smiled and said, "That's right. Right now, there are only you and me in this wood, wouldn't it be refreshing for everyone to get straight to the point?" After that, he said: "Although I haven't been able to carefully examine Mrs. Bi's symptoms, looking at her appearance, it can be imagined that she was also bewitched by your 'Heavenly Dew Divine Grace Heart Method'. So Mrs. Bi, the so-called mastermind behind the scenes, is actually just your puppet, and she is also your substitute ghost. And those grievances between Guan Gong and Pang De are even more nonsense, they are all stories you made up in advance and instilled in Mrs. Bi's mind in advance. ”

The woman sighed and said leisurely: "Nangong Tate...... No, it should be Tu Lingxiao. If she hadn't gone mad because of her cultivation of the 'Heavenly Dragon Battle Intent', I really wouldn't have had a chance to attack her. As for the story of Guan Gong and Pang De's generational grievances, I also know that it is not well written, but when everyone sees Tu Lingxiao's crazy appearance, they naturally will not delve into her words. ”

The young man shook his head and said: "It's not that the story is not badly written, everyone in the world says that Guan Gong and Pang De's drama is fake, but who dares to say that the record of the 'Subset of Classics and History' must be true? ”

At that moment, he spoke eloquently and said: "I know a little bit about the origin of the 'Heavenly Dragon Battle Intent'. It is said that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was a troupe called 'Hua Xiangrong', whenever Guan Gong was played, the actor who played Guan Gong never wore a red face, and just went on stage with naked makeup; until the climax of the play, the actor would hold his breath into the dantian and turn his face red, so as to perform Guan Gong's red face, which often won the applause of the audience. And the craftsmanship in this troupe is the predecessor of 'Tianlong Battle Intent'. Therefore, when I heard Mrs. Bi say that 'Tianlong Battle Intent' was a mastery of Guan Gong during the Three Kingdoms period, I immediately knew that she was talking nonsense. ”

The woman couldn't help but smile and said, "I can't imagine that you even know about the indiscriminate deeds in these troupes, it's really admirable." I wonder what else you know?"

The young man snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "I know what you want to ask. Yes, I do. After a pause, he added, "Of course I know that King Heng is not dead. The King Heng who died under Bi Wuzong's knife was just a substitute for the dead. ”
