Chapter 812 Holding an Elephant
The pale golden sunlight is mottled, and the fragments of the bronze mirror quietly left among the carpets reflect the face of the eldest princess into countless broken silhouettes, and the eldest princess’s rusty crimson skirt Spread on the ground.
She raised her eyes to look at Balian, her eyes reflecting the light of dust slowly swimming in the air.
At this moment, all her emotions were depressed, and her deep eyes seemed to be separated by mist.
Bailian walked over, squatted down in front of her, and gently rubbed the scar on the side of her neck with his cold fingertips, his expression ambiguous.
"There have always been people who have placed their freedom and dreams on the vast expanse of blue waves, but how many people can truly get what they want."
The eldest princess waved his hand away and said coldly: "Freedom , either through struggle or through enlightenment.
The pursuit of the dream of the great road is just an illusion. So don’t act like you know me very well!”
“Really?”
Bailian took back his palm, wiped away a little blood from his lips, and said lightly: "But the consciousness hidden in your blood cannot tell lies. Six hundred years ago, there were still a hundred years left before the end of the war between good and evil.
At this time, in the Central Plains Righteous Way, the Immortal Sect forces are becoming increasingly powerful. They are no longer unilaterally suppressed by the Langya Demon Sect. Gray forces like Dark City are helping in troubled times.
But the general situation of the world is about to change, and the dark city has become a hidden danger and cancer in the hearts of the immortals. The Qin State relies on the Tianxi Sword Sect. As the most powerful female swordsman in the Qin State, you and Tianxi The sword master fights alongside you, how could he not be aware of your identity? "
The eldest princess showed a look of disgust on her face and said: "The ability of the corpse demons to eat blood is really a bad thing. "
You can actually peek into the human body's memory by sucking blood.
Bailian asked: "Perhaps, have you ever thought about being honest with him about your identity. ”
The eldest princess’s eyes were full of sarcasm: “You think that I have known him since childhood, and our affection is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
I have become the master of the gray area of the dark city, and he will take care of me. Is it because he wants to end the war and support Tianxi?”
“But do you know that there is a saying in the world that after three years of good deeds, few people know it? for Evil is heard all over the world.
In his eyes, evil is evil, no matter what the intention is.
There is no reason to end the war and help the world. For him, it’s just some high-sounding reasons. If he can really make the right and wrong in the world half determined by his mind and half determined by reality, then he is not Bailiyu.”
"He treats his married wife like this, so what do I mean to him?
You are right, being honest is indeed an easy way.
But he is not an ordinary person. Man, he is the Lord of the Celestial Seal and the Lord of Ten Thousand Swords, like me For a person who is in the quagmire of darkness, he can only test first and then talk to each other."
The eldest princess laughed at herself and said: "I once asked him if I went astray for the sake of the common people. "How is he doing?"
Bailian narrowed his eyes slightly and did not answer.
The eldest princess folded her arms and leaned lazily on the edge of the dressing table. There was a bit of cold interest in her eyes, and a wisp of chill slowly spread between her lips and teeth.
“He said that mortals can think about feelings, but the Tianxi Sword Master cannot. Those who do evil are inherently evil and will be punished on sight. He will hold the sword and abide by the way of the sword to save me from the wind and frost. Blood on my hands."
At the end of her speech, there was a hint of suffocation in her voice: "Young gentleman from the Immortal Sect, tell me why you are so incomprehensible. ?
The world is a snare, and I am a slaughterer on the battlefield. I created a dark city and killed countless people. Are his hands clean?
Just because I am in darkness, he Ju Guangming, it is evil for me to kill someone, and he is trying to save himself by killing someone. In that case, why don’t I commit evil to the end and turn this world upside down?”
"So, that spiritual root..."
The eldest princess smiled coldly and said: "The spiritual root that Ying Ji sacrificed not only saved Bailiyu's life, but also solved my dilemma. Bailiyu thought that I sacrificed my spiritual roots to give him a life. Of course, an ordinary woman who had lost her cultivation could not be the master of the dark city behind the scenes.
In addition, I not only dispelled his doubts, but also won his guilt and attention. The Dark City force that I created in the first three hundred years can be regarded as a profit with the capital in the next six hundred years. I took it back, it’s not a loss...”
She said it was no loss, but there was a dark look in her eyes.
If she really said things so freely and clearly, then where did the forbidden curse around her neck come from?
Balian was silent for a while and said: "Your swordsmanship talent is not weaker than his. You clearly know what a strong-tempered person he is. You did not choose to fight side by side, but chose a path that ran counter to him. Don’t you think it’s a bit eccentric?”
The eldest princess raised her eyes to look at him again, with a smile showing some seriousness and persistence: “If it were you, how would you choose?”
Bailian said nothing.
The eldest princess smiled again, and the smile on her face was neither warm nor melancholy: "What do you think is the suffering of war? Those who are talented like Bailiyu and shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the people are chosen by heaven. People take the lead in war, which is heroic and tragic ?
But I don’t think so. As the son of Heaven and the co-master of swordsmanship in the world, Bailiyu has the shining hope of "the hope of the common people", and he has become the most unsacrificial person in the world. That person.
How ironic that the hero who protects the common people has become the one who openly enjoys the blessings of the common people.
During the war, bones were covered with white bones, corpses piled up in mountains, the war between monks shook mountains and seas, but the most damned ones were the common people at the bottom.
According to historical records, Bailiyu caused the soul to burn up the Tianshan Mountains, ending thousands of years of oppression and invasion by demonic cultivators in all the countries around the world, and he was the savior of the world.
However, in those thousands of years of gloomy history, although human beings could not live and work in peace and contentment, but with the war, the number of mortal deaths in those five hundred years was a hundred times that of those thousands of years combined!
Mountains of corpses, starving people everywhere, hell on earth, nothing more than that. ”
"While Baili Yu ended the prosperous rule of the Langya Demon Sect, he also single-handedly caused chaos in the world."
"In troubled times, what people need is never a hero, but a hero."< br>
The eldest princess smiled lightly and said: "Xiao Xiong, where can I talk about being upright? If I am as naive as him and stick to the gentleman's mind, The sky is blue and the sun is white, people must not know, how can such a war be ended in a hundred years?
He is upright, follows the rules, and is a righteous man who does not use scheming and tricks. The name of the Immortal Yushu
But what he faced was a battlefield, tens of thousands of demon cultivators, not a martial arts competition
He relied on his gentlemanly demeanor and was obsessed with confronting people head-on, without knowing how to make detours. In the end, the person who suffered was not the righteous immortal leader who held a high position and shouldered the responsibility of the common people, but the ordinary people who lived with the world and lived in the grass.
Without the dirty deeds in the dark city, if this war continued for thousands of years, how would the mountains and rivers be in such devastation. "
Bailian sighed: "I didn't know that as a woman, Her Royal Highness the Princess had such great ambitions. "
The eldest princess said calmly: "What I want in my heart is to hold the elephant and go to the world. Go without harm, peace and peace. The king's boat and the people's water, the people are noble and the king is light, this is the path of the great road in my heart, and the world is for the common good. ”
Hold the elephant and the world will go...
Hearing this, Bailian couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears and tasted his blood with his own mouth, who would have known that he was weak on the outside and deceitful on the inside, but he actually had the ambition to rule the country and bring peace to the world as much as a man.
The depression that had accumulated in her heart for many years suddenly burst out. The eldest princess narrowed her eyes, chuckled, tilted her head slightly, and lazily supported her forehead with her hands. There seemed to be tears shining in the corners of his eyes.
"Everyone in the world says that I am in love with Bailiyu. But from your point of view, how much do you think my admiration for him is true? How much is false?"
Bailiyu An lowered his eyes and said: "People's hearts are full of twists and turns, and you can't tell the difference yourself. How can I help you clear up your confusion?"
The eldest princess laughed, her eyes as cold as a cold night: "Yes, people's hearts are the most repetitive and ruthless. Six hundred years ago, Bailiyu tried many times on me. Once it is confirmed that I am the lord of the dark city, he will kill me without regrets!
Yes In the past hundreds of years, the forces of the Dark City have become complex and spread all over the world, involving countless interests. Such cancers are everywhere, affecting mountains and rivers, but he does not have the courage to subvert such a Dark City. You say it is ironic. Not sarcastic?"
Bailian asked: "In the past few years, Dark City has done countless evil things, selling human nature, studying forbidden arts, and even using the bodies and souls of many living people as test subjects to study forbidden arts. They also came from you. Handwriting? "< br>
The eldest princess smiled and nodded at the forbidden curse pattern on her neck, and asked instead: "What do you think?"
Bailian finally sorted out the past hundreds of years. The origin of the Dark City, as well as the causes and consequences.
The original intention of the eldest princess in establishing the Dark City was to strengthen the righteous resources and replenish the supplies and materials on the battlefield. She used very radical methods to cut through the carrion, which can be said to be a quick cut of the mess, pushing hundreds of immortal sects to end the cruel war.
Since then, the countless blood, lives, and crimes sacrificed on the battlefield have been counted on the Dark City one by one.
As the lord of the dark city, even though the eldest princess Zhao Wenjun's cultivation level is higher than that of Sword Master Yu, she will still be unable to defeat Sword Master Yu with a wave of his arms, and hundreds of immortal sects respond in response.
How can one person compete with the whole world?
Sword Master Yu even has a grudge against the neutral force that seems both good and evil, the empress of Zhongyou who was born in a treacherous way, and his married wife, let alone the Lord of the Dark City who is full of evil.
In order to protect herself, she took the name of her spiritual root. While dispelling his suspicion, she also gave someone a handle, and one of the river owners in the six rivers in the demon world caught the handle.
During these six hundred years, although she did not lose her cultivation spiritual roots, she lost her freedom and original intention, and was controlled by others.
Bailian asked: "So you entered the Tianshan Mountains and took the flame marrow just to dissolve the shackles of the forbidden curse on your body?"
"Is it important whether it is yes or no?"
There was not much anger on the face of the eldest princess. She closed her eyes resignedly, raised her head gently, closed her eyes and sneered:
"I have completely lost. Corpse Demon, let alone Baili Yu, I can't do it. Even in these six realms, there is no place for me."
If she wants to become a woman and survive in that land, As a blood descendant in the sealed dark continent, she would rather die to be freed.
She has been suffering for six hundred years, and she no longer has any extra energy to deal with another, darker and huge abyss.
Bai Lijing looked at her quietly for a long time, seeing that she looked like she was more sad than dead. Although he was amused in his heart, he also understood her despair at the moment.
After finally waiting for the collapse of the Tianshan Mountains, I took the flaming marrow and survived the heart-burning and bone-burning pain of the flaming marrow. Six hundred years of struggle and hard work were destroyed overnight. Anyone who does this will fall apart.
"It's easy for my aunt to wish for death, but at least she has to listen to what she has to say."
Bailian picked up a larger bronze mirror fragment from the ground, raised it in front of the eldest princess, and gently He smiled and said:
“We who are zombie demons can be said to be a single-minded race. Loves to play with differentiation.
The eyes are either all black or all red. It has never been said that vampires have half red and half black eyes.
Nowadays, my aunt is not a real corpse. A demon, at most...a half-demon."
The eldest princess was startled, and then snatched the bronze mirror fragment from Balian's hand. She couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes: "What do you mean by this?!"
Bailian glanced lightly, and raised it His arm took out the Qingtuan fruit snacks placed on the table:
“The condition for obtaining descendants through a contract is to first suck up all the blood of the other party, and then feed it with your own blood after losing all life. Deny, corpse demon corpse demon, Only when you become a corpse can you become a demon. If you are not dead, you are not a corpse."
He grabbed the eldest princess's hand, put it between her cheeks, and said: "The blood in your body. It's fresh, and the temperature is just lower than It is lower than that of ordinary people, but it is definitely not the temperature of a corpse demon.
Even if you and I make a covenant, you are not a real corpse demon after all. If you don’t believe it..."
With that said, Balian fed the Qingtuan fruit into her mouth again: "Taste this fruit. If I guessed correctly, you should be able to distinguish the five flavors now."
Qingtuan The sweet and glutinous taste of the fruit overflows on the tip of the tongue.
The eldest princess’s eyes brightened, and she slowly regained hope.
Bailian said again: "It's just that you will be a little afraid of light and sun in the future, and you will be more uncomfortable in summer, and there will be some faint characteristics of the zombie demon remaining in your body, but with your ability, I guess not It’s hard to hide these strange things.”
Unexpectedly, there are twists and turns.
The eldest princess lowered her eyes, but found that she still had the green dumplings he fed in her mouth, and her face looked slightly unnatural.
She snatched it with her hands, stepped back, lowered her head and took small bites of the glutinous green dough cake, but she no longer wanted to die.
She snorted coldly: "Aunt? When did I allow you to call me that?"
Bai Liyu is a member of the royal family, and she is the eldest princess of Qin. If it is true, her identity Because of their relationship, she and Bailiyu were cousins. When she was young, she called Bailiyu her cousin for a few years.
Bailian's name as "aunt" seems modest, but in fact, there is nothing wrong with her name.
It's just that now the eldest princess looks at Bailian, but she really doesn't like everything, and she doesn't wait for Bailian's answer.
She snorted again, her eyes cold: "Instead of trying to talk nonsense here, it is better to think about how to leave Baituo Mountain. Tonight, for the sake of bathing, I would like to leave Baili Yu for the time being. .
Tomorrow, you will not be so lucky. Since he has captured your aura nearby, he will definitely not let go of searching this room. "
This Golden Crow Shocking God Formation is indeed a trap. Great trouble.
Under the brilliance of the blazing flames, Balian's flesh and blood will inevitably melt again when he leaves the house, making it difficult to move, let alone go to Tianshan to continue his work.
"When will this Golden Crow Shocking Divine Formation end?"
The eldest princess saw through his mind and sneered: "When this formation is opened, it all depends on the sword master's will. If he does not close the formation, no one can Close, this is the divine formation that the Immortal Zhu Zhan has left since ancient times, unless the Immortal comes in person. This mountain should have the power to destroy this formation, but do you think that the immortals are just like carrots in the ground? Looking at the entire six realms, there are only four immortals."
