Chapter 370 The Ancestors of the Bai Family Who Died Suddenly
Ji Xun obtained the permission to stay in Private Room No. 002 by a tricky method.
The mirror spirit of [Prophet's Mirror] did not attack them again.
However, their intuition told them that the crisis was far from over.
Before, they had to find clues by themselves, but now there is obviously a better way.
Ji Xun looked at the mirror, and instantly changed into a smile like a circus clown holding a lollipop to make a child happy, and said: "Oh, what will be the name of such a cute mirror?"
The grimace in the mirror was praised and responded cheerfully: "Of course it's called 'Yuanyuan'!"
"It sounds really nice."
Ji Xun looked at the Yuanyuan The name of the mirror is indeed very appropriate.
He continued: "Wow, Yuanyuan is still the [Prophet's Mirror], she must have very powerful abilities."
"Of course!"
The mirror spirit seemed to like this rainbow fart, and took the initiative to show off: "I can predict the future, break illusions, cast mirror spells, and see far away places. In short There are also many powerful abilities!"
Ji Xun exaggeratedly expressed the shock in his heart and said in surprise: "Prophecy? Oh my god, is it the kind of person who can predict the future? Magical ability?”
“Hmm!”
Jingling was like a little hen with her head held high, floating in the air amid the compliments.
It also took the initiative to introduce how to use it, saying: "As long as you give some of your life, I can let you see the future you want to see."
"Oh?"
Ji Xun listened. The ability of this mirror is indeed surprising.
You must know that "prophecy" is a mysterious and extremely rare extraordinary ability.
Listening to the description of this mirror spirit, its level of divination seems to be very high.
However, just after he finished speaking, this cute mirror spirit seemed to remember that it seemed to be missing some authority authentication, and asked innocently: "Hey, I almost forgot. Are you the head of the Bai family?"
“Almost.”
Ji Xun laughed.
As he spoke, he deliberately showed off the ring in his hand and skipped the identity verification perfunctorily.
I guess the ancestors of the Bai family who designed the ban would not have thought that someone would hold the [God Thief Ring], a token of the family leader, and someone who had the God Thief sequence source card fused to it. Would it be from the Bai family? The head of the house.
Then, before the mirror could react, Ji Xun asked: "By the way, Yuanyuan, can the result foreseen by 'prophecy' be changed?"
This is very effective communication in psychology. method.
The more simple the goal is to think about, the more "straight-line" the way of thinking is.
Using fast-paced questioning will make the other party lose the ability to think.
The intelligence of this weapon spirit obviously does not support such a complicated causal relationship.
The train of thought was interrupted by this question, and its attention was immediately attracted by the following question: "You are so stupid, you don't even know this. Of course you can't."
As it said, it started again Said: "The real prophecy is to foresee what will definitely happen in the future. Whether you know the result or not, it will never change."
"."
Ji Xunting's eyes flashed. Have a moment of deep thought.
At the same time, he was like a kindergarten teacher who praises children for answering questions proactively, encouraging him: "Yuanyuan is so amazing, she knows so much!"
Qin Ru was witnessing the whole scene from the side, and her expression was stunned: How could the topic continue like this?
She was watching Ji Xun like this, as if he was fooling a child, and she was trying to trick out useful information bit by bit.
The effect is incredibly high.
Without a few words of conversation, Ji Xun and Na Jingling seemed to be good friends who talked about everything.
The mirror also answers questions.
At this time, Ji Xun asked a key question again: "Yuanyuan, what is written in this notebook? Can we open it and take a look?"
Jing Ling was still immersed in the rainbow fart, so he responded directly Said: "It's a family diary. Didn't anyone tell you before you got in the car?"
Family diary?
Ji Xun and Qin Rushi immediately realized that this was the direction to break the situation.
Before the two of them could think of how to perfectly explain their ignorance, the mirror spirit seemed to remember something and muttered again: "Oh, no one has come here for a long time since the last person who came here almost died. room.”
Ji Xun immediately captured the key information and asked directly: "Yuanyuan, why did the person who came last time almost die?"
Jing Ling looked a little confused and hesitated: "I don't know either. Ah. When I woke up, he almost died."
Ji Xun: "Did he say anything to Yuanyuan?"
Jing Ling thought about it and said: "He asked me how the last time and the people who came last time died. I didn't know, I had to go to bed at midnight. Then he made a prophecy, and then when I woke up, he was seriously injured. Get off the car."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Xun's eyes suddenly looked at Qin Rushi beside him.
Both of them felt like their scalps were numb.
You know, this room 002 is the exclusive box for the head of the Bai family.
Even if the previous heads of the Bai family are not legendary card masters, they are definitely extremely powerful.
They even know the secrets about this train inherited by the Bai family.
But judging from Qi Ling’s words, more than one person died in this carriage?
What is the reason?
After hearing this, the two of them realized that the Bai family people really planned to leave them in the car after taking out their tickets.
No one would have thought that this ghost train would contain such murderous intent.
Before they could think about it, Jing Ling said again: "As long as you are a descendant of the Bai family, you can open the note. Others will die."
Hearing this, Ji Xun He Qin Ru was slightly relieved.
Now that I can open the notes, things are settled and there is a little direction to break the situation.
Since they knew that two of the three previous heads of the Bai family were killed and one was seriously injured when they came to this room, the two of them did not dare to be careless.
Qin Rushi immediately took out the notes in the drawer.
The burrs on the note stuck into her fingers. She frowned slightly, but did not put it down.
An imperceptible ray of blood blended into the notes.
As if the bloodline had been certified, or as if something had been imprinted on it, a six-pointed star formation suddenly lit up on the cover of the dusty old notebook.
Gradually, some hidden information is revealed.
Qin Rushi opened the notes.
Ji Xun also looked over at the same time.
Looking at it, it turned out to be the diary of the head of the Bai family.
The content is as follows:
"In the 125th year of the Oran calendar, I, Bai Xianwu, finally found my ticket again and boarded the [Neon] Netherworld Train again after a hundred years. In this barren land of the Eastern Wasteland, the immortals are also considered I have a place to stay. Unfortunately, I lost the God-stealing Ring. I don’t have the authority to read the top-level secrets left in the notes by my ancestors, and I can’t get the approval of the super-level wraiths in the special carriage.”
“O. In the year 522 of the Oran calendar, the third head of the family, Bai Mingzhi, disappeared. I, the fourth head of the family, Bai Shuang, recorded it on his behalf. It was inferred that the reason was that he failed to get off the car in time and his soul was trapped in the underworld."
"In the year 883 of the Oran calendar. , the third prince Yelen Augustus Barons launched a coup, and the fourth head of the Bai family, Bai Shuangyu, died in battle. I, Bai Qi, became the fifth head of the family. After a hundred years, I did not want to. After I found the ticket in the treasure house and boarded the train, I realized the significance of this ghost train to the Bai family."
"In the year 2241 of the Oran calendar, the extraordinary materials stored in the family treasure house have been exhausted. I am the ninth The head of the family, Bai Hong, is probably the last card master with the resources to advance to the seventh level after the Bai family moved to the Eastern Wasteland. From now on, the [Neon] train will no longer be able to enter the underworld, and the decline of the Immortal Family is a foregone conclusion. The Bai family will inevitably decline."
「.」
The length of the note is limited and the content is very concise.
But every word contains a huge amount of information.
Time was running out, Qin Ru was flipping through the pages quickly.
Ji Xun also quickly wrote down the content in his eyes.
This notebook records major events that happened in the Bai family. Almost every new head of the family will record an article.
Not only the Bai family, but also some fragments about the Oran royal family.
Ji Xun saw many "truths" that could not be found in history books.
It turns out that the Bai family in Donghuang also had a history.
This ticket was lost several times and found again.
And every time a generation is cut off, the Bai family's inheritance will be completely blank.
"It turns out that the last seventh-level card master of the Bai family was almost eight hundred years ago."
Ji Xun saw the records in the diary and saw the decline of the Bai family. , also saw the decline of the card master civilization.
Eastern Wasteland is short of resources. After the top-level materials brought from the Old Continent were consumed, the Bai family was completely stuck at the seventh-level bottleneck.
And obviously,
Before this, the heads of the Bai family could record events over a long period of time, which meant that their lifespans were very long.
Ji Xun remembered what Gong Wu had said before, that reaching the seventh level would greatly increase lifespan.
The two continued to watch.
"In the year 2555 of the Oran calendar, Jude Bai, the thirteenth head of the Bai family, died in Private Room 002. The cause of death is unknown."
"In the year 2771 of the Oran calendar, King Augustus was fatuous. Wudu, the collapse of the dynasty is a foregone conclusion. The fifteenth head of the Bai family, Bai Longshan, secretly supports the rebels for the sake of the continuation of the family."
"."
When Ji Xun saw this, he understood the general situation of the Bai family.
Originally, the Bai family, like the Nan family, were Augustus' right-hand men.
However, due to the changes of the times and the passing of inheritance, this loyalty has gradually faded away, leading to the current ambitious Bai family.
In this note, Ji Xun saw the multi-faceted role that the Bai family actually played in many historical events. .
This notebook is like the script of a great drama that has lasted for thousands of years.
The story is full of twists and turns and makes people watch it with relish.
At the same time, Ji Xun had a very strange feeling in his heart.
Although the Bai family has been a large family at the pinnacle of power in the Eastern Wasteland for nearly three thousand years, the accidental death rate of the family leader seems to be very high.
Ji Xun made a rough count and found that among the dozen or so family heads recorded, only two or three died at a healthy age.
Others died suddenly for various reasons.
Seeing this, Ji Xun unconsciously complained in his heart: Could it be that the head of the Bai family is the same as the president of a certain country in his previous life, and there is no curse that he will die suddenly when he comes to power?
At this time, Qin Rushi turned to the latest page of the note. This was recorded over decades.
The content made the two people's expressions become solemn instantly.
"In the 177th year of the Federal Calendar, I, Bai Haiping, recorded on my behalf that the 16th and 17th heads of the family, Bai Pengyu and Bai Hongjian, disappeared in the carriage, and no bones were found. I used the most precious treasure [Prophet's Mirror] to explore, and after more than ten years of my life, I only found There were some blurry scenes, and it was suspected that a certain special-level wraith in the next car was out of control. I wanted to find out the truth, so I used a special treasure to hide myself in the room, but even so, I still lost half my life. The scary thing is that I didn't even figure out what force hit me so hard. So I sealed the 002 cabin ticket. If anyone sees it later, be careful and don't open the door at midnight."
There is a blank space after that.
Seeing this, Ji Xun and Qin Ru looked at each other with complicated expressions.
The two of them understood.
It turns out that there is really a fatal crisis in the VIP carriage!
Two of the first three heads of the Bai family died suddenly here.
The last one cost a huge price and lost half his life.
The atmosphere in the carriage was solemn.
But the matter has come to this, Ji Xun and Qin Rushi are both in a stable state of mind at the moment.
Crisis is expected.
Now, what they are thinking about is how to solve this crisis.
The contents of the notes are very informative.
After reading it, Ji Xun listed a few useful points in his mind.
1. The train leads to the underworld;
2. There is a very important soul-gathering treasure on the train, which is the key to nourishing the immortal family;
3. In other VIP boxes, there are some 'super-grade wraiths' who are suspected of being out of control;
4. The God Thief's Ring has permission and can see some top secrets in the notes;
If you read it carefully, you will definitely be able to get more secrets from it.
But these are not things to think about right now.
The top priority is how to get out of the train alive.
The previous eighteenth generation head of the family, Bai Haiping, had already tested it and found that problems would occur if he stayed in the room without going out.
The guy tried all his methods and lost half his life.
Ji Xun and Qin Rushi have little confidence that they will survive.
And the other party must have thought of all means, including using the [Prophet's Mirror] for divination.
Since the future of divination cannot be changed, Ji Xun has no interest in this method of spoiling his future from beginning to end.
That Bai Haiping used the mirror to prophesy was to find out what happened.
What Ji Xun is thinking about is how to survive.
If he is destined to die, he prefers to experience an unknown and exciting death process.
Instead of knowing some results that are bound to happen in advance.
Looking at his pocket watch, it was still ten minutes before midnight.
Time is running out.
Qin Rushi on the side also had a solemn face.
She could not think of any good way to deal with the coming danger other than relying on strength.
Ji Xun gave her the God-Stealing Ring and said, "Aunt Qin, you can try it on first to see if you can see some useful information."
"Yes."
Qin Ru nodded and understood immediately.
She put on the ring and began to look through her notes again.
Ji Xun felt that there was a high probability that he would not be able to find it.
Because from the description in the notes, the change should have occurred within the past two to three hundred years.
Even if the notes really hide some secrets from the Talon period, it still won’t solve the immediate problem.
At this time, Ji Xun thought again: "According to the notes, we will still be in danger even if we stay in the room."
Qin Rushi glanced at him: "What do you mean?"
Ji Xun nodded: "I want to go out and have a look."
The conductor and the notes have reminded me not to go out as much as possible.
But Ji Xun felt that there were limited clues in the room, and ten minutes was enough for him to check it out.
When I came here before, the doors of the dozens of private rooms I passed by were all closed. I remembered all the details in my mind and there was nothing to check.
Only they don’t know the situation in room 001 before 002 and the carriage near the front of the car.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun walked to the door.
He is not so conceited that he goes out in the flesh and touches a mine.
The shadows under my feet quietly moved.
Ji Xun carefully opened the door a crack, and the shadow slipped out and walked towards the front of the train.
The door of room 001 is also closed, so the situation inside cannot be detected at all.
The shadow continued to walk towards the front of the car.
In the room, Ji Xun was not idle either.
He looked in the mirror and did not forget the only person who knew about it.
He thought about it and asked directly: "Yuanyuan, do you know who lives in the next room?"
Hearing this, the ghostly face in the mirror visibly trembled with fright: "They are so fierce, I I don’t dare to provoke them.”
Ji Xundao: “Have you seen them?”
Jing Ling responded: “No, they don’t come out until midnight. I happen to be sleeping at that time. . But someone from the Bai family used my ability to see the next room, and then they died."
"."
When Ji Xun heard this, his expression became stern.
Just now, he was actually thinking that this mirror had the function of "peeping into things", and wanted to try to see if he could see what was going on next door.
This sounds like I can’t try it.
Will you die if you watch it?
Ji Xun asked again: "How did they die?"
"I can't remember clearly either."
In the mirror, the round and empty skull eyes seemed to be trying to remember something, but they couldn't remember it.
It said aggrievedly: "I only remember that they beat me fiercely."
As it said, it looked at Ji Xun and the two of them, and said again: "You guys can Don’t let me see it again”
“.”
Hearing this, Ji Xun immediately realized something.
The reason why the weapon spirit is not very spiritual may be that it grows slowly.
It is also possible that, like Wangcai, it has been broken up by others.
In other words, this mirror spirit may have been distracted by spying on the travelers in the next room?
Before Ji Xun could ask anything else, Qi Ling suddenly said very fast: "It's time, I'm going to bed. I won't talk to you anymore!"
Looking again, the skull in the mirror disappeared into the depths of the mirror and could no longer be seen.
Ji Xun and Qin Rushi frowned as they looked at each other.
Time's up?
Looking at the pocket watch,
there are still ten minutes left.
The only "insider" who could help is gone.
Ji Xun suddenly felt that the situation was not good.
But the good news is that the shadow has arrived in another carriage at this time.
In the shared vision, Ji Xun saw the shadow blending into the dark elements.
At this time, he saw a coffin.
"Huh?"
Since the train was bound for the underworld, Ji Xun was not surprised to see anything here.
It’s not surprising that there are coffins parked there.
But surprisingly, the style of this coffin is a bit familiar.
“If I remember correctly, the Oran royal family also has a similar black coffin?”
Ji Xun remembered that last time in Xia Mu City, Qiao Lin, one of the Four Knights of the King, the "Forbidden Curse Master" wanted to seal the remains of an angel, so he took out a coffin like this.
Why is there one on the Bai family’s train?
Set relic?
However, the two coffins look similar in style, but the incantations and other inscriptions on them are different.
When Ji Xun saw this, he suddenly realized: "Is this coffin the source of the mysterious power that nourishes the soul on the train?"
But before Shadow could take a closer look at what was wrong with the coffin, he suddenly heard a funny laugh that sounded like metal friction: "Jiejie hasn't seen a living person for a long time."
Ji Xun looked shocked when he saw this: No!
He suddenly realized something.
As mentioned in the notes, there seems to be a special-grade wraith out of control in this special carriage.
That guy also has the ability to invade the box and kill people!
Before, Jing Ling said that the time was up, which was not its excuse;
It was Ji Xun's own perception that was affected and he misjudged the time.
Time Illusion!
It is not 11:50, but 12:00 midnight!
Some monster has come out!
