Chapter 1542 Deviation
Recently, life in Xiaoshanju has become uneasy.
After Shu Ci left, the ever-burning lamp in the Spring and Autumn Palace remained on all day long, which shows that the little tiger has not passed the danger.
Although in the past half month, Bai Lian has never seen Cang Nanyi again.
But he did not stay in the small mountain center all the time. He also went to Wangchen Palace every day to read the "World Volume" at night, and he did not slack off for a day.
His Royal Highness's journey to apprenticeship was very bumpy, but the hidden immortals who came from all over the mountain were able to endure and persevere, and did not leave the mountain. They just took some time off and concentrated on the Kunlun mountains and rivers.
Cang Nanyi has never left the Spring and Autumn Palace since he entered it.
The days in the mountains should have been leisurely, but across the palace wall, Bailian could feel the restlessness of the two female officials Qing Shui and Qing Xuan in recent days.
Over the past few days, Bai Lian often saw the Qingxuan female official with a forbearing and anxious expression in Wangchen Palace, holding a booklet in her hand and carefully recording something with the palace people.
Looking at that, it seemed that she was completing some big action, but the process seemed to be unexpectedly difficult and bumpy, which made her usually not serious and not very serious, and now she became even more serious. Unrest grew.
From a distance, Balian could even feel the terrifying volcanic power beneath her cold face.
Such a look is not common. Even a person like Balian who doesn't like to meddle in other people's business couldn't help but ask a few questions from the immortal attendant in the palace.
I just learned that Qing Shui and Qing Xuan have recently been recruiting the people of Kunlun to go to the Kunlun Holy Land to collect the blood of the demon clan and open the door to the holy land.
Just by asking a few words, Bailian knew that this must be for Cang Nanyi.
Looking at this, it turned out that Master Qing Ao had taken care of the funeral affairs of the defenders so neatly that Qingxuan didn't even scratch his legs.
On this day, the female officer Qingxuan went into the Wangchen Hall to get a case book. Bailian, who was sitting in front of the desk and reading, suddenly put down the "World Scroll" in his hand and raised his eyes to look at the female officer Qingxuan who was rummaging among the bookshelves. Can't help but remind Said: "If the inference about the purple devil Gu is correct, most of the people of Kunlun in the mountains are affected by the power of knocking. If there are young purple devil Gu planted in their bodies, will it have an impact on the blood pool?"
Qingxuan, the female officer, paused while searching in her hands. She turned half of her face and looked at Bailian with a faint look: "Have you asked the other female officers in the palace about what I am doing now?"
< br >Bailian laughed and said, "Master Qingxuan and Master Qingshui are acting so fast and furious, it's hard not to know."
Qingxuan frowned and didn't care about Bailian's blind inquiries. thing.
After all, he did not intend to hide the matter from other people about gathering the clan members to jointly open the gate to the Kunlun Sanctuary. He could not hide the matter even if he wanted to.
However, she heard the euphemistic warning in Balian's words. Officer Qingxuan looked back and found the case volume she wanted to use from the bookshelf.
Holding the book and case, she walked down the wooden ladder, dusted off the dust on her clothes, and said calmly: "I know what you want to remind me? Yan Poyun has a problem with this. There is no doubt about it, The problems of those defenders are still a mystery at the moment. Since Yan Poyun forced his way up the mountain, I immediately went to Tiangan Mountain to investigate, but I did not detect the presence of the purple magic Gu on any of them
However. do this The person doing the probing and testing is Mr. Xue He, the medical officer of Kunlun Snow Palace. His medical skills are unparalleled in the entire Kunlun. There are not many people who can play tricks in front of him."
Qingxuan. Bend your knuckles and raise them to knock He shouted, and said calmly: "I have tried the method Shang Chang mentioned, and there is no difference?"
Bailian looked slightly surprised and said: "Master Qingxuan thinks Shang Chang is lying? ”
Qingxuan smiled noncommittally and asked: "What do you think?"
Bailian laughed and shook his head: "If Lord Qingxuan really believed that Shang Chang was lying, he would have been arrested and interrogated right now. ”
But she didn’t do that.
After thinking about it, I felt that all the things involved were too strange. Even though there was no evidence, I did not easily vent my anger on others and make arbitrary decisions.
And looking at her appearance, her suspicion of the True Immortal Sect has not been dispelled.
"I know what you are worried about, but the blood pool that opens the Kunlun Sanctuary is not an extraordinary thing. Even though I, the people of Kunlun, really planted the purple magic Gu for the True Immortal Sect in the name of knocking spirits, this will not affect me.
If there are really Gu insect eggs in the body, they will be destroyed if they fall into the blood pool. Purify it. After all, I opened the blood pool of my Kunlun Sanctuary and will not accept anything other than the blood of my clan. There is no need to worry about this. "
Now I am just worried about being planted in the bodies of Kunlun people. The purple magic Gu will grow up in an unconscious process, eating away their internal organs and brain.
But this growth process takes a certain amount of time.
On the contrary, it is the matter of the empress that is urgent and cannot be delayed.
Hearing the explanation from the female officer Qingxuan, Bailian nodded in agreement, and had some understanding of her decision.
“I heard that the Kunlun Holy Land is the only place outside the six realms that is not shackled by the laws of heaven and earth. If the empress enters it to survive the tribulation, she will definitely be able to reduce the risk, which is not a bad idea. But..."
Bailian's eyes moved, he looked at the female officer Qingxuan, and asked softly: "Master Qingxuan is acting in such a big way. If the True Immortal Religion really has different intentions, aren't you worried that they will interfere with it? "
Qingxuan said: "What? Do you think the True Immortal Religion can be so bold and want to kill gods without any inhibitions? Come?"
Bailian didn't object, just looked at the other party and asked calmly: "What do you think, Lord Qingxuan?"
Qingxuan was silent for a long time. She pinched her brows and said frankly: "If I really have different intentions, no matter whether I act in a big way or not, with the eyes and ears that the True Immortal Sect has set up in Kunlun Mountain for many years, I can't hide it from them at all. < br>
In this case, it is better to ask a teacher to be famous and act more openly. Even if the True Immortal Sect wants to interfere, it has to be restrained."
Bailian said: "But it depends on Master Qingxuan. It seems that this matter is not going well?"
Qingxuan's face froze, and his brows furrowed deeper. He lowered his eyes, looking a little worried: "Even you can see it."
She sighed. He took a breath and said: "Although I know how to open the door to the Holy Realm, , only a drop of the Queen's source blood can be opened, but it is extremely difficult for others to actually do this. Only with the power of the source blood of thousands of people in Kunlun can it be compared to the power of the Queen. A drop of powerful and precious blood, right?”
However, Bai Lian knew that this saint's source blood was derived from the essence blood condensed from the power of faith of all living beings, and it was very rare and precious.
As believers, their blood and the blood of saints are the relationship between belief and being believed.
If the heart of faith is enough, the source blood sacrificed will become more pure and powerful.
Bailian knows where Qingxuan's difficulties lie. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, everyone in the Kunlun Mountains worshiped the saints with one heart, praying in their hearts, and worshiping the saints with piety. At that time, there were no marriages in the Kunlun Mountains, and there were no other foreign races or other impurities fighting.
The power of the source blood gathered is naturally so pure and powerful that it is immeasurable.
But now, I am afraid that things are different from the past. Even though collecting the amount of source blood is not a problem, Bailian can feel that the hearts and beliefs of the people in Kunlun Mountain are floating.
In this way, it may still be difficult to open the door to Kunlun Sanctuary.
There was a look of worry in the eyes of the female officer Qingxuan. She found the case book she wanted, but she was not in a hurry to leave.
Perhaps because she was in the empress’s palace, or perhaps because it was late at night, the sight of Bailian sitting in front of the empress’ desk and reading reminded her of the past when the empress and he read at night under the lamp. Days of service outside the temple.
Under this inexplicable feeling of nostalgia, she suddenly felt deeply tired, straightened her clothes, and sat lazily and casually on a futon in front of the case, pouring herself a cup of tea with a sad look on her face.
Bailian stood up when he saw this, went to the back of the bookcase and took out a jar of wine. The jar was not big, carved with celadon, exquisitely and elegantly painted, and sealed with red silk.
He bent down and took the cup of tea from the hands of the female officer Qingxuan, and said with a chuckle: "It's snowy and cold at night, shall I come and have a drink with you?"
The female officer Qingxuan was stunned. She watched blankly as Balian turned over an empty cup, took off the red silk seal, filled the cup with wine, and pushed the cup to her hand.
She looked at Balian in shock and said, "Your Majesty actually hid wine in this palace?"
Bailian sat in front of the case, lowered his head to drink tea, smiled softly, and said: "Although your Majesty is a light drinker, she is also a bit of a good drinker."
Qingxuan had a strange look on his face, as if he couldn't understand. : "I have served the empress for more than a hundred thousand years, and I didn't even know that she would hide wine in the palace. How long have you been in the mountain, and you know so clearly the place and habits of the empress?"
" This is different." Balian was helpless.
“What’s the difference?” Qingxuan’s unwillingness began to stir again.
Bailian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It has nothing to do with how long I have been here. I can sleep in your queen's bed, can Master Qingxuan do the same?"
As soon as these words came out, Qingxuan's face turned red and her fists clenched. She sat up straight and was about to have a fit when she saw Bai Lian chuckle again.
“I’m just kidding, how could a self-disciplined and pure-hearted person like the empress do this? This wine was hidden when I went to the palace to study at night. I found that at night, the empress had a short sleep and was always She couldn't sleep well, so she always kept a jar of wine. She drank two glasses and felt better at night. Just fall asleep a little.”
In the night candlelight, the young man’s smile was clear and gentle, like the wind on a summer night. When you look closely, there are pear dimples on his cheeks when he smiles. The one on top is Qian Qian, with a moonlit face that is elegant, handsome, and very gentle.
Qingxuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and a word popped out of his irritable heart.
Chic.
In the past, she could not understand why the empress summoned this boy to her dormitory to read at night. Now, through some strange combination of circumstances, she actually understood the empress' happiness.
The handsome young man at night always has a subtle temptation...
Qingxuan shook his head vigorously to drive away those restless and messy thoughts. As Balian sipped the tea, he couldn't help but mocked: "Are you the one you said you wanted to drink with me?"
Bailian coughed lightly and said, "I have a bad ability to drink, and the queen knows this. If you need it, I can drink too." Some.”
Qingxuan’s eyelids twitched, he shut up decisively and did not respond.
She clearly remembered the virtues of this boy when he was drunk. He would pour a glass of wine, throw mud, and grab a random woman and call her mother.
She doesn’t have the patience of a queen and can’t handle this kind of situation.
Qingxuan knocked down Bailian's hand that was touching the wine jar with a snap, and said breathlessly: "Forget it, just drink your tea."
Bailian is very sensible. He stopped touching the jar of wine, smiled faintly, and said, "Is Master Qingxuan troubled?"
The cold wine entered his throat, but the sweet aroma turned into a bitter taste.
Qingxuan was in a low mood. She gently swung the wine in her glass and said softly: "As you said, opening the Holy Realm is not optimistic."
Bailian comforted: "Why It is the period of calamity. The period of calamity is determined by the number in the horoscope. If the inevitable disaster can be easily opened by Master Qingxuan, how can it be called a disaster period? "
"How can I not understand what you are saying?" Qingxuan poured another glass of wine. After drinking it, his snow-white face turned a faint red color.
"What I didn't expect was that the amount of source blood collected was not even half of what I expected. This is really...ridiculous."
Bailian was slightly startled. , but his eyes soon returned to calm, "Lord Qingxuan, what you mean is that you have already released the news and opened the gate of the Holy Domain, which will save the empress from death, but the number of Kunlun people who were summoned is not satisfactory? ”
Qingxuan's eyes were sad: "Not only is it unsatisfactory, I can't even imagine how uncomfortable it would be if the empress knew about this."
Bailian was silent for a moment, and then said: "I No matter how realistic and cruel the truth is, my Majesty... she will probably never know the feeling of "uncomfortable". "
Qingxuan rolled her eyes at him: "Only you understand my Majesty."
Bailian said: "I don't understand. Although taking the source blood will damage one's own foundation, under a certain amount, it will not endanger life. If something happens to the empress, the landslide, the realm, and the homeland will collapse. Once it's over, that's a big deal. Why do they avoid it so much? "
According to common sense, if the empress successfully survives this disaster, Kunlun Mountain will be safe and sound.
Protecting one's home is a responsibility that everyone must bear.
It’s so simple and simple, how could they not understand.
"I don't understand..." Qingxuan's heart was extremely miserable. Even in the dark of night, her alcoholism could not be relieved, and her frown was hard to open. She simply abandoned the cup, picked up the wine jar with one hand, and raised a white He took a swig of strong alcohol down his neck, and his eyes began to become hazy and red.
“I don’t understand, what is happening to Kunlun Mountain today?” For a moment, the voice of the female officer Qingxuan was choked with sobs.
(Beibei is such a big idiot!!!!)
