Chapter 994 Desperate Ambition
The time and space inside the Bronze Gate are all chaotic.
It’s not surprising that Bai Lian found half of the Qing Emperor Jade in the skeleton in the belly of the big snake.
But if it is the owner of the skeleton that looks exactly like him.
It is the Qing Emperor who will appear in the prophecy...
This means that this half of the Qing Emperor Jade may come from the future? !
Bailian originally only knew that this jade came from a certain immortal king in the immortal world.
Although there was a vague guess in my mind that was close to the truth, it was too far-fetched.
So much so that he had other assumptions about the facts.
Perhaps the skeleton is just an ancestor with a similar appearance to him or something else.
But obviously this is not the case.
The black jade in the north was born, and the purple aura appeared in the sky and the earth. The daylight lasted for nine days, and all the six realms of heaven and earth were affected by it.
If Qingyu was born, it would be impossible for the whole world to know about it.
He originally wanted to use this jade to scare Fang You into giving up the idea of continuing to recruit a son-in-law for Fang Geyu.
Tonight he is in the limelight. With Fang You's sensitive and suspicious temperament, there will definitely be a lot of investigation into him.
Although Bai Lian hides his identity very well, Shifang City's ability to collect intelligence is also the best in the world.
He thought that if he used this jade to create an identity in the fairy world, he would be able to save a lot of trouble.
I never thought that such a strange truth would be involved.
What is even more bizarre is that Balian remembers... Lin Xi, the master of the Xianle Hall of Cangwu Palace, also has the other half of the divine jade in her hand.
So, what role does she play in this unknown truth?
Despite the uproar in his heart, Bai Lian's face remained calm and calm, with no flaws visible.
He held the sapphire in his hand and slowly played with it without putting it away. His slightly restrained eyes deliberately released a calm and indifferent aura.
"City Master Fang You, don't be nervous, the emperor doesn't know that I'm here."
Fang You was stunned, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer the question.
Bailian glanced at him, sat with his legs crossed comfortably, and smiled faintly.
"In the six realms and four seas, the demon realm is on the rise. A hundred years ago, I secretly received the sapphire from the mouth of the black bird in the sky, and tentatively designated me as the Immortal Lord and Heavenly Official.
The position of Emperor has not yet been officially named. This is the strategy of fending off enemies in heaven
My identity is very sensitive, and I hope that City Master Fang You will keep his mouth shut and not let any third person know about it."
Seeing such a posture, City Master Fang You also felt a thump in his heart, and realized that he must have been touched. Encountered the core secret of the Shangqing Immortal World.
Of course it is important to know this. If you talk too much, it will definitely be a disaster.
"Don't dare! Don't dare! Fang You still has some sense of propriety. Please rest assured, Xianjun, no third person will know about what happened tonight. But Fang You doesn't know... Xianjun came to Shifang City. How can I teach you?"
Fang You spoke tactfully. What he was really curious about was obviously his majestic Immortal Lord of the Heavenly Realm and the future emperor.
Why did you come to attend a marriage proposal party for a mortal woman?
He is not so arrogant and confident that he thinks that the benefits brought by the marriage with Shifang City can shake the heart of such a big man.
Unless...
"Now that I am here, why should Lord Fang City continue to cover up and try to deceive me? Shifang City secretly researches forbidden techniques and injects consciousness into the body of the 'puppet weapon'.
It is so dangerous to do this. Didn't City Lord Fang consider the consequences of this before he acted?"
Sure enough, Bai Lian revealed what Fang You was most worried about.
Fang You's face changed drastically. After hearing these words, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his eyes were desperate.
He obviously did not expect that this matter would be exposed to the knowledge of the immortal world so quickly, and even lead to the appearance of the future emperor.
The moment despair and fear struck him, Fang You realized something.
He clenched his teeth, looked at Balian and whispered: "Although the Immortal Lord already knows about this, it seems that he has not reported it to the Immortal Lord Zhu Zhan and told the world.
Otherwise...how could our Shifang City be so peaceful?"< br>
"The Immortal Lord came here in person and deliberately concealed his immortal number. He obviously went down to the lower world privately.
I want to handle this matter alone before it completely breaks out and leave Shifang City a glimmer of hope. Not too?”
Balian's identity is all fabricated, and it would be wrong to say more at this time.
He did not answer Fang You's question directly, neither saying yes nor saying no, but instead threw the question back.
“The witch plague is raging, and the puppets are born with spiritual consciousness. The uncontrollable situation today is definitely not caused overnight.
As the lord of a city, Lord Fang You is obsessed with the city every day. In political affairs, he is extremely diligent and rigorous.
I don’t believe that the city lord is unaware of the cause of this matter.”
Although Bai Lian's questions were very straightforward and left no room for retreat, although Fang You was intimidated, there was still a trace of confusion and subtle vigilance in his eyes.
"Shifang City has committed a taboo, and the crime is unpardonable. The Immortal Lord has an extraordinary status and is responsible for helping the common people. He is responsible for the crimes committed by Shifang City.
The simplest and clearest solution The way is to report to the Immortal Lord and punish him with mighty heavenly punishment! But the Immortal Lord did not do this..."
Fang You's eyes were very respectful, but he still looked Bailian up and down.
“The Immortal Lord does not have the immortal aura lingering around him from the upper realm, and his cultivation aura seems to be restrained and unpretentious. It seems that he has gone to the ninth level in the dark, and needs to shed the aura of his immortal body and transform into a mortal body.< br>
Fang You believed that the small Shifang City was not capable of causing the Immortal Lord to go through so much trouble. You still dare to ask Xianjun, why are you here? "
Fang You lowered his posture very low, and his words were full of piety and respect. He did not dare to go overboard in the slightest, but at the same time he was deeply suspicious.
Mortal people are like ants, life and death are at stake. In the thoughts of those in power in the sky,
there is really no reason for Balian to appear here
because of his identity as Qing Emperor.
This also means that if Bailianruo is really the Qing Emperor, it stands to reason that Shifang City can no longer live up to its existence at this moment.
But since Shifang City is still in good condition now, no news has been revealed.
This also means that there is no reason for him to be the Qing Emperor.
As a mortal who took the emperor's name without permission, Fang You had ten thousand reasons to kill him on the spot.
Fang You is obviously not someone to be fooled, if Bai Lian cannot come up with a convincing reason.
Tonight, the crisis that should have belonged to Shifang City was probably going to befall him.
There was no panic on Bailian's face. He smiled faintly and said calmly: "It seems that City Lord Fang You has not answered my first question yet."
The first question he asked was...
Fang You was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
Bailian took out another cold plum from his sleeve, although it was already a little dry. Under the wind and snow, he still retained his aura of frost and pride.
Bailian said slowly: "Snow girl came from Kunlun Snow Mountain. She was born with a fairy body. She originally had a long life, but she died under the cold tower of Shifang City for no reason.
I I am old friends with Miss Snow, and Shifang City is in dire straits for no reason.
I. Although I can report everything to the Ming Emperor to stop the situation, this is the hometown of my old friend. Unless it is necessary, I do not want to see his hometown destroyed."
He slowly turned the cold plum in his hand. , raised his eyes and glanced at Fang You calmly, "Is this reason enough?"
Fang You stared at the withering Hanmei for a long time, and murmured: "Very few people know that Ah Fu likes Leng Yue Hanmei. Xian... Sir Xianjun actually has such a deep connection with my wife. "
Seeing his strange look, Bai Lian tilted his head slightly: "What? City Master Fang doesn't believe it."
"No, no, no..." Fang You forced a smile. , Said: "It's just that the deceased lady of my family had a somewhat withdrawn and eccentric temperament. She rarely made friends with people, whether immortals or mortals.
I have been married to her for many years, and what I have seen of her is more... It’s more like a perfect order to be like a person.
It’s hard for me to imagine that someone with her temperament can never forget her. ”
What a wily old fox.
On the surface, he seemed to be explaining to Balian in a hurry, but the temptation between the lines has not diminished.
Bailian smiled lowly and said: "Why does Lord Fang City have to force people to speak so straightforwardly?
The world only knows that Shifang Sword is the inheritance of Shifang City. The sword is unknown to all living beings in the six realms...
What is suppressed in the sword is the ancestor of the evil god who has been wreaking havoc in the ancient times and the leader of all disasters.
The Shifang Sword has never been a sword of inheritance, but Miss Snow has the important mission of sealing the source of disaster.
In order to suppress the True Ancestor Evil God, the host of the Ten Directions Sword must extinguish the seven emotions and the six loves. He must not act rashly with lust and cut off the ties between the ten gods and five relatives.
It is not that she is lonely and eccentric, but that the joys and sorrows of the world have nothing to do with her.
Before this, Miss Snow was also an ordinary person with seven emotions. Although the ten gods and five relatives were broken, the old friend has not been forgotten, so I will come. ”
Bailian’s last words completely broke Fang You’s inner defense.
The secrets hidden in the Shifang Sword are even greater than the Witch Plague! Not even his two sons knew such secrets.
He was even more secretive about this matter. Except for his confidant Qin Lou, he also knew only a little about it and did not get the full picture.
He really couldn't imagine who could understand the origin of the Shifang Sword so clearly.
Even the doubts that filled his stomach were dispelled by Balian's astonishing words, which were as meticulous as a net and could not find any faults.
If this person was not from the fairy world, how could he meet Xue Fu.
If he wasn't a noble immortal, how could he enter and leave the holy land of Kunlun Snow Mountain at will?
If he hadn’t been Xue Fu’s real old friend, how could he have such a profound understanding of Shifangjian.
Even she knows everything about her self-proclaimed Qiqing.
At this moment, Fang You felt as if he had a coptis in his mouth, which was extremely bitter.
Although the future Lord of the Qing Emperor is here, he has the intention to help Shifang City get out of trouble.
But with such a big Buddha standing here, I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
His body was like a deflated ball, slowly slumping down. He held his weak forehead with his palms and spoke in a heavy tone.
"Yes, I... knew about Li Qiuxing's development of the witch plague technique in advance.
If I hadn't secretly allowed him to do what he did, Shifang City... wouldn't be in the situation it is today. This field. "
Bilian said, 'Sure enough.'
"What is the purpose of City Lord Fang's move?"
Fang You's voice contained painful helplessness: "I am just a mortal. Without Ah Fu's guidance and help, I would not be able to sit on the position of City Lord.
After Ah Fu died, although I was lucky enough to be in charge of Shifang City, no matter how hard I worked and worked hard, I could never clear up the hopelessness. Chu Di senses the huge gap between me and those who are born with immortal bodies.
I can't watch Shifang City fall into my hands like this. The Immortal Lord knows that. How powerless it must be to be in a high position and have high hopes from everyone, but not have the ability to achieve them.
I don’t want the world to give Ah Fu’s husband the title of ‘useless’ after being extremely disappointed with Shifang City. That would be too cruel to me and too cruel to her! ”
A mediocre person, in a high position, is pushed by everyone’s expectations to a position that is inconsistent with his own strength.
The struggle, the despair, the deep feeling Feeling of powerlessness, no one can compare to Baili An knew better.
Once upon a time, he was trapped in a confused nightmare.
At this time, he wanted to catch any spider thread. Save yourself.
This is the instinctive reaction of people in despair.
Bailian pursed his lips, feeling complicated but did not speak.
Fang You continued: "I know that Li Qiuxing's nature is bad and his heart is inhabitable.
But I have seen with my own eyes the two self-aware puppets created by my wife. That is, the first generation of 'Yinghuo'
Only those two puppets, after their birth, their combat power can compete with thousands of mecha puppets.
What's even greater is that they regard their master's orders as iron laws, are strong and loyal, and at the same time possess transcendent wisdom.
It is as different as the mecha puppets on the battlefield that require mental energy to be controlled!
They can adopt the spirits of heaven and earth on their own, practice and evolve like mortals.
I have never seen such a great work, and I am deeply impressed by Ah Fu's ability.
But before I could learn such a great puppetry technique from Ah Fu, she passed away unfortunately.
After Ah Fu's death, the outside world didn't know that Shifang City had experienced a subversive mutiny, in which I almost died.
Shifang City, which has lost Ah Fu, is as brittle as a piece of paper because of my incompetence and uselessness. "
"If I continue to make no achievements, Shifang City will only become a land that is plundered. No matter how skilled the weapon refiners and talisman masters in the city are, their end will be tragic.
I don’t want Afu’s people to fall victim to the interests of others, so Shifang City can only continue to grow stronger. Even though I know that Li Qiuxing is poisonous, I have to... drink poison to quench my thirst. "
Fang You's eyes were sad and weak, and his sad voice was almost choked and hoarse at the end.
Thinking about it for so many years, the inner condemnation and struggle had tortured him day and night, tearing at his heart.
“In fact, through the spreading witch plague and repeated tests on various mecha puppet experimental subjects, the puppets with self-awareness are indeed far beyond the ordinary mecha puppets.
< br>I thought that in my hands, I could create something as powerful and invincible as 'Yinghuo' The powerful warrior is coming.
But who would have thought that this would be the beginning of... a disaster."
At this point, Fang You sneered feebly: "I am too conceited. Big and stupid, many years later, the two of them wanted to rebel and threw Shifang City into chaos.
Even my daughter almost died in their hands. You see, even a puppet created by a fairy like Ah Fu has such great hidden dangers and dangers. ”
