Volume 1 Dream Treading Dust Chapter 48 The Appearance of the Suspect
Hearing this, Rin Ye patted Bai Lianzhou's arm and asked, "Something is wrong...... At that time, the spiritual power of the spirit beast fluctuated so strongly, and Gwendrin and Monica were both seriously injured, why didn't you have any injuries on your body at all?"
Bai Lianzhou was stunned when he heard this, and retorted: "Who said that I was not injured, Gwendlin just ran away by himself and ignored me at all, I fell from the city wall and fell unconscious, in case I hurt my brain, it will be troublesome." β
"That's not what I meant. Rin Ye's tone became quite serious, "It stands to reason that the spiritual power circuit in your body is broken, and under the powerful spiritual power field, there is no bad feeling?"
Bai Lianzhou shook his head and replied vaguely, "Gwendrin gave me all his spiritual power in order to keep me safe. Coupled with the fact that the two of us were moving fast, it didn't take long for us to flee from Saru Town to the northern part of the empire, so it was naturally impossible to almost die like Monica. β
"This is impossible! If a spirit beast's spiritual power is enough to seriously injure Monica, it is already a high-level creature comparable to an ancient spirit beast, and it is absolutely impossible for you to escape near it. The more Rin Ye spoke, the more she wondered, "Besides, even I can't keep up with Gwendlin's speed, how can you keep up?"
Bai Lianzhou was speechless for a while, and he couldn't say why he was hesitant for a long time.
Rin Ya crossed her waist and wanted to continue questioning, but at this time, the door of the hidden room was pushed open with a "creak".
The visitor was a burly man, dressed in a plain robe and a magic robe, and the fabrics and patterns alone showed that this person was of a very high status and very noble. The man looked to be in his thirties, his hood was taken off with both hands, and the lines of his face were as hard as relief.
He glanced at the two of them lightly, his eyes dark and deep, and there were no highlights even when there was light.
As soon as this person entered the hall, the air was filled with an inexplicable sense of oppression. The moment Bai Lianzhou touched his gaze, he felt a chill envelop his heart. He couldn't help but take two steps back, his body clinging to the bookshelf, his hands behind his back, and occasionally clasping the grooves in the wooden texture.
But from the fact that he was free to enter and leave the palace, he felt that this person must be a well-known mission in the Violet Empire, either the head of the clan or a relative of the royal family.
Rin Ye put his hand on his chest and bowed deeply to the comer: "The junior Rin Ye has seen the Patriarch of the Ming Dragon. β
...... Bai Lianzhou silently recited it, if the names of the four patriarchs of the Violet Empire were arranged according to the "Charm and Spirit", the Spirit Clan would be the Spirit, the Astrology Clan would be the Charm, not counting the Mermaid Clan, and the third place would be the Illusion Clan...... This is actually the patriarch of the illusion clan?
Ming Xiao nodded and asked, "How is your master doing lately?"
"Master, everything has been going well lately, Patriarch Wangming can rest assured!" Rin Ye replied respectfully.
Beneath the plain clothes, Ming Xiao answered, and his voice sounded old and dry, very different from his strong appearance.
When Bai Lianzhou heard the voice, he immediately got goosebumps all over his body: Why did this man who looked like he was in his thirties sound like an old man?
"Who is this?" Ming Wei tilted his head slightly, looking at Bai Lianzhou, who was shivering in the corner.
Rin Ye walked up to Bai Lianzhou, pushed him in front of Ming Ling, and reprimanded: "Why are you stunned, haven't you seen the patriarch of the illusion clan Ming Wei soon!"
Bai Lianzhou came back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed to Mingyu with a smile: "I have seen the Mingwei Patriarch, my name is Bai Lianzhou, and I am the new spiritual envoy of the astrology clan. β
A smile bloomed on his face, the sun shone on his body, as if giving him a god-like golden light, and he said: "Your spiritual power does not belong to Violet, you don't know any water spirit arts, and your astrological talent is average, you are not the spirit envoy that Rong Mei was looking for, right?"
Listening to the voice that was not commensurate with its appearance, Bai Lianzhou's heart fluttered.
What is the origin of this patriarch of the illusion clan, he actually only glanced at him, and almost revealed his identity as an impostor!
The young man wiped his sweat nervously and replied, "Patriarch, I also feel that I am not qualified to be the spiritual envoy of the Violet Empire, maybe it is really the Patriarch of Rongmei who has found the wrong person......
"Hmm......" Ming's tone seemed to be tasting a delicacy, deliberately dragging out the tail note, and said slowly: "Rin Night, your little junior brother has the blessing of the God of the North Wind, and the spirit magician of the wind element can naturally keep up with Gwendrin's speed." β
Rin Ye nodded silently, seemingly not at all surprised by Mingyu's words.
"As for why Rongmei accepted you as a spiritual envoy, he has his reasons, and I don't know. Ming Xiao smiled lightly, "New Spirit Envoy, I need a few books, you come and help me find them." β
Bai Lianzhou answered and followed tremblingly.
In his heart, the image of the patriarch should be a person like Ming Xiao, who can suppress the audience as soon as he appears, and has a temperament that is above everyone. The previous patriarch of the illusion clan, Feng Yin, and the dissolved charms and feathered spirits that he met later, they gave people the feeling of being either amiable or as sincere as a teacher, and Bai Lianzhou had never seen them show the majesty of the ruling side.
He couldn't help but have a deep respect for the Mingyu patriarch in his heart...... I even think he's like a neighbor's pretending to be a deep bear child.
Thinking about it, he began to laugh, feeling that he was simply the luckiest person in the world.
Ming's eyes were kind, and he looked Bai Lianzhou up and down and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"No, I just think you have an extraordinary bearing, and it's a lucky thing to meet you. β
Ming Xiao looked at Bai Lianzhou's childish face, and said softly: "I raised Rong Mei single-handedly, and now when I see you, I seem to see him at the age of seventeen or eighteen again." At that time, he was just like you, childish, thin, and unspirited. Now that I've grown up and grown taller, and I've accepted the two of you as spiritual envoys, I feel very lucky. β
Bai Lianzhou exclaimed: "You...... How is it possible, if you raised the Rongmei Patriarch, you would have to be sixty or seventy years old now, but you are very young!"
"Illusion is a spiritual technique that uses spiritual power to cause others to hallucinate. The reason you see me now is only thirty years old is because your physical barrier is too fragile, and you can easily fall for my illusion, showing that your spiritual power is not strong. Ming Xiao continued, "Have you ever learned wind spirit art before?"
"I've learned, but I'm not good at ......"
"Have you ever seen an illusion?"
Bai Lianzhou recalled slightly, and said: "It seems that I have seen it, and I have been tricked, and I was ...... when I was in Tubrick Bay before."
"Do you want to know why you never get out of Tubrick Bay?"
"You ......."
"Answer the question, new oracle. β
Bai Lianzhou didn't speak, but his pupils trembled violently because of Mingyu's problem. Going around and around, is Ming Wei the initiator and the master of the town?
Under the serious information asymmetry, Bai Lianzhou instantly felt that he had entered a lot of conspiracies, and the people of the Violet Empire were all unfathomable......
He felt that the whole spiritual world was revolving around such a small piece of wood as him, first in Saru Town, where three women played a scene, and almost didn't eat him alive, and then in the astrological clan, he was played around by Master and Rin Ye...... Now, there is another Mingyu patriarch, who actually knows his past well!
Was it favored by God, or was he played with a lot of cruelty? Bai Lianzhou couldn't figure it out.
Ming Wei leaned over lightly and said in a low voice: "Bai Lianzhou, Rong Mei used to be my spiritual envoy, and now you are his spiritual envoy, and I should be regarded as an elder of your fellow disciples." So don't be afraid, I have no ill will. β
"I know...... I'm not afraid. β
Obviously, the boy's disguise was useless.
Ming Xiao sighed solemnly, took down a book at the highest point of the shelf, and put it in Bai Lianzhou's hand.
"The God of the Elements: The Sacred Record", the boy silently wrote down the title of the book, flipped through it roughly, and found that the content covered by the book was far beyond his imagination. Although the name seems to talk about the origin of the elements throughout, the content covers a wide range of topics, recording the history of the continent for 5,000 years.
Since ancient times, the spiritual power of human beings has been far inferior to that of spirit beasts, and the four spirit beasts guarding this continent are sleeping in middle age, and once they riot, the consequences are unimaginable. At that time, the aborigines used to carry homemade improvised weapons to hunt in the mountains and go down to the sea to catch fish, and even outside the farmland would be surrounded by strong walls.
The ancient ancestors took the land from the countless spirit beasts and beasts, and formed the prototype of the three empiresβit was not until the second half of the book that the story of the four elemental gods helping the spirits build the empire began to be told......
There was an incomprehensible look in Ming's eyes, and he slowly spoke: "Since you have chosen to come to the Violet Empire, let's learn the water spirit art in a down-to-earth manner." You're hard to come by, because it's easy to shape, and it's a much purer start than other psionics. β
"Haha...... Well, the Patriarch of Melt Mei said the same. Bai Lianzhou said shyly.
"I don't think the Charm has the power to tame a rebellious man like Teucer, don't you think?"
"...... Tuoke" Hearing this name, Bai Lianzhou, who was already a little nervous, was so frightened that his legs weakened, slumped on the bookshelf, and stammered and asked, "Patriarch Mingwei...... How did you know about this......
Ming Xiao withdrew his hand, turned his face to look at Bai Lianzhou, and asked with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid of being like this, right?" I only think about it occasionally, and there is no malice. β
"You...... Are you the owner of the Decision?"
"You think I am, that is. Ming Xiao smiled slightly, and put a few more books in the young man's hand, "As I said just now, most of the weak spiritual power are not strong-willed, and they are easy to be deceived. Don't expose everything too early, what you just said is an extremely dangerous statement, and it will not be allowed in the future. β
"What...... After talking for a long time, you didn't tell me the exact answer. Bai Lianzhou's tone was disappointed, and his voice became lower and lower, "I killed Teucer for that...... Even Master and Rin Ye don't know, and only you know about my past, so I can't help but suspect that you are the one who guided me here...... Am I wrong?"
Ming Xiao said lazily: "You're not wrong, but how do you tell if the two of them know?"
Bai Lianzhou gnawed his lower lip and retorted, "If the two of them knew about this, they wouldn't have accepted me as a spiritual envoy." The real oracle is dead, I'm an impostor, and they don't have to risk Gwendlin's life to save me. From this point of view, only you know about it. β
"What if, this is what the Melting Charm Patriarch arranged?" Mingyu slanted the corners of his mouth and smiled meaningfully, "Okay, just these few books, you send someone to the Illusion Clan." I still have something to do, so we'll talk about it later. β
Bai Lianzhou sighed with a sad face, this Mingyu patriarch, it is really appetizing to stop talking halfway through his words! He handed these books to Rin Ye to record them one by one, and flipped through one of them, feeling a trace of doubt-
The content of these books is actually how to restore spiritual power?
"Patriarch Ming, you ......"
Could it be that the Patriarch of the Ming Ray has been injured, and his spiritual power is not as good as before? Or is it ...... Are these books a hint that I should borrow them often in the future?
Before he could catch up and ask questions, the dragon had already disappeared. Bai Lianzhou ran back to the bookshelf, wrote down the locations of the books one by one, and thought in his heart that when the Patriarch Mingyu came to return the books next time, he would definitely borrow them to read.
Bai Lianzhou was immersed in his own small world, completely unaware that at this moment, his every move had been fully watched by Senior Brother Rinye, and he could see it clearly.
