"How about the daytime trip?"
"Don't you always think you can control everything? Why do you need someone to ask such a simple question?" Han Te didn't conceal his dissatisfaction at all, and he said nothing.
"If you want to express dissatisfaction, you can, but please say it after you beat me. Talking like this now is just a barking dog in my eyes."
It is still so cold, sitting on the table looking at the design drawings in vain, without even looking straight at Hante.
The camp currently traveling during the day is in a mess. Don't talk about dominance, just spend the energy to flatten the dissatisfaction of the soldiers and prevent them from defecting. On the other hand, when they wake up during the day, they immediately order their men to assemble an army to defeat the rebels. He just yelled repeatedly, but in exchange for the sympathy and pity of his subordinates, and when he rushed out of the handsome account in anger, shouting "The soldiers follow me", he ran more than ten steps, only to find that everyone did their own things. , No one was willing to follow him to death, the poor dictator fell to his knees in shock, shocked that he had lost all power.
The mental journey in the daytime, if you write a memoir, may also be very fascinating, but at least Hante will not be interested, but will focus his full attention on the person in front of him.
On that day, after entering the secret room, because of excessive surprise, this kid took advantage of the breach and knocked out in disgrace.
Hey, since the first fight, it’s not clear how many times I defeated this kid with a single move. In retrospect, I don’t feel that I am incompetent. I can only say that this dwarf has used all combat factors to the limit. , Create a situation of easy victory, one move to control the enemy.
When he attacked, he transported Jin Jue and Palm Jue at the same time, and stepped back at the same time. He thought he was perfect and strained. No matter what trick he attacked, he could take it safely, but he didn't know. What kind of technique was used to trigger the toxins in his body, and his heart was in pain for an instant, the strength of his hands was greatly reduced, and the flaws were exposed, and he was knocked down by one move.
It’s shameful to think about it, but I’ve been humiliated a lot, and now I don’t feel much about losing under Bai Qi. Instead, I think it’s strange that I will win if I run into him...
However, there is still one thing that I am quite concerned about. Should I find another opportunity to try it?
"Slave First, tomorrow night, I want you to sneak into Jixia and assassinate an important person, so prepare yourself!"
"Important people? Wouldn't you want me to fight the dead monkey's heavenly battle, right? I won't win, and I won't lose. If I'm going to die no matter whether I win or lose, then I'll save some trouble."
Hant made a mockery of the inconsistency in vain. He was not afraid to fight Lancelow, but when he didn't know the purpose of the battle, he hated the feeling of being a tool of war.
"Don't worry, my short-lived brother-in-law, I will clean it up myself, you just need to perform the task."
"Uh...really? It sounds easy!" Han Te slowly approached, but he didn't dare to get lucky in advance, for fear of causing the other side to be alert.
"If the purpose of the sneak attack is to kill me, you can try it, but after I die, no one can solve the toxins in your body, even Hua Bianque, who you have written many times for help, is no exception. It may not be good for you."
Before he took action, when he heard Baiqi's words, Hante suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He didn't know where his flaws were exposed, and he even knew about writing a letter for help.
"I can promise you that after eight days, regardless of success or failure, I will detoxify you and stay with you. This should satisfy you. But if the purpose of your sneak attack is to test..."
Bai Qi raised his head abruptly and said coldly: "Yes, as you might expect, my strength is indeed not as good as before, and it is gradually declining."
The guess was confirmed, and Hante's heart shuddered. At the same time he was forced to endure Baiqi's nuclear fusion punch, he was already feeling it. Although the punch was heavy, the pain in the body was not past. Qiang, at the same time as he was in a coma, a thought came up in his mind that the white strength was fading.
"Even if my strength is not as good as before, to surpass me, it is still not poisoned by you. If you are determined to do it, then let it go!"
The tone was threatening, but Hante was surprised again. In the past, when Bai Qi spoke, even if he did not deliberately do it, he could still feel his strong sense of oppression in a plain tone, which made people feel at a loss. But now that he expresses the threat so directly, why can’t I feel the familiar feeling? What about pressure?
(Yes, whether it is physical or psychological, this dwarf is in a very bad condition now, what could be the reason? He has hardly been injured in battle...)
It is not easy to knock down Bai Qi head-on, especially as he is good at seizing opportunities, he will always use his own strength to beat the weakest enemy, so to knock down Bai Qi, he can only find his flaws. , For example, like this moment's good opportunity, let it go, maybe there is a chance of victory.
However, Hante didn’t plan to do anything. He strapped the Thunder Sword back to his waist and said lightly: “Your Bai family is really a weirdo! Everyone is on the same boat anyway. You come out to make a big fuss. If it is not for the throne, what is the ultimate goal? At least you should tell me!"
The question is very reasonable, but Bai Qi obviously has no intention of answering, and said coldly: "The slave is not qualified to intervene in the master's plan."
"You people from the Bai family, why can't you be more frank?"
"Don't worry about it!"
Reins. The dark temple in Tiron, the Witch Palace, is a temple dedicated to the five dark gods, and hundreds of small and medium-sized gods.
Originally, these dark demon gods were the faith objects of the demons. There is no reason for human beings to worship, but for the wizard guild, if you can’t practice black magic, you can’t cultivate black magicians, then wait if there are The shield had no sword, and gave up the ability to attack, because it is well known that priests and priests who practice light magic have no attack power in wartime.
After the Battle of Kyushu, under the secret instruction of Queen Reins, collected all the statues of demon gods sculpted and consecrated by demon craftsmen from various places, and transported them here. It is said that they were to be destroyed in a concentrated manner, but a temple was built secretly. , Enshrining the gods, handed over to the Magic Guild to take care of, and set up as a forbidden place, set up a lot of cover up, to prevent outsiders from discovering the true face of the inside.
In order to find out the source of his brother's power, Xiaocao came to the Witch Palace alone. The magisters in charge of the palace were not affected by the outside war, and performed their own work. Seeing the chairman's arrival, they all bowed to her and made a gesture of respect from the magisters' representatives.
The underground of the temple was built with the help of the Taiyan Academy. There is a deep underground palace for the magisters to conduct various inconvenient experiments and spell exercises. Speaking seriously, perhaps the underground buildings in Jixia are more magnificent than on the ground. The ivory white pagoda, the Witch Palace, the Taiyan Institute...and the underground of many public buildings are equipped with huge basements and even structures on the scale of underground palaces. If they are all connected together, they are truly underground cities.
These design concepts are not unrelated to the Battle of Kyushu. During the war, Jixia was broken through the city wall several times and engaged in street battles. He was also involved in the battle of heaven. He not only broke the city wall, but also half of Jixia city. Rashed to the ground, after the war, the Magic Guild and the Taiyan Academy learned from the pain. In addition to designing more defensive barriers and barriers, they also began to imagine that if these barriers failed, Jixia City would be half destroyed again. Only in order to make Jixia quickly regain vitality, based on these ideas, large-scale underground buildings have appeared.
The powerful spells in black magic are all contracted by the magician and the gods to complete the trial of the spells before they can be used.
The contracting ceremony is usually held in the temple of the god, so the wizard guild in charge of the witch palace has a very detailed record, indicating that someone completed a certain spell in a certain year and month to master the disciples Xiaocao came here to check this record to see which dark **** his elder brother had entered into a contract with and gained strength.
According to the truth, the power that can make people break through the earth and rise to the heavens in one fell swoop is at least a level above the five dark gods. Due to a question of position, the Dark Blue Devil who rules the five dark gods is not enshrined in the Witch Palace, so the final goal is still only those five gods. If this idea is true, the elder brother is very likely to practice a final trick similar to the five-pole sky.
The result of the investigation was disappointing. It seemed that it was because of the instructions of the mother. The official records in the Witch Palace had only a few words about this. People were called to ask. What we know is that the eldest brother had Coming to the Witch Palace alone, a few days later, Young Master Wuji who got the news came here, and the two left together.
As for which gods the eldest brother has visited in the past few days, there are different opinions. Some people say that he has appeared somewhere, and some people say that he had stayed in a certain god’s consecration room for one night. Everyone said Among the gods, there are even the small and medium-sized gods under the five great gods. I don’t know if they usually lack the opportunity to speak. All the magisters say something to me. I heard that the grass is as big as a fight, so I don’t get any useful information. .
(What the **** is it? Why is it so secret? What do you want to hide?)
Countless questions floated to Xiaocao's heart, a kind of *** who strongly wanted to know the answer, let her calm down again and analyze the available information one by one.
For the eldest brother, I really know too little. I disdain to know in the past, but when I started to feel affection for this brother and wanted to get closer, I found that he had left too little information and seemed to be deliberately rejecting Close to yourself.
I watched the conclusion coldly. My elder brother is someone who controls every battle. When he thinks that this battle can be ended with a simple nuclear fist, he would rather spend more time than show it. Other unique skills, so when facing the enemy, there will always be unexpected powerful moves that will catch the enemy by surprise. The two sides are currently in a hostile relationship. If you don't dig out his bottom line first, you will suffer a lot in the fight.
Besides...
(Don’t be kidding, maybe you are a genius, but I’m the sister of a genius! I will surely solve the problem you set up...)
In the circumstances that Xiaocao hadn't anticipated, Lancelow had no choice but to endure the death of his adoptive father. In the past, it was not that he had not experienced life and death, but never once, from the moment he heard the news, he was totally lost in despair, and stayed out of consciousness.
When you know the identity of the old man, he is one of the three famous sages, and he has become a sage, and many thoughts flashed in his mind.
What is the old man thinking? Why don't the good sages want to hide their names and hide in the barren hills alone?
What is he raising and nurturing himself in such a way? If he were Huang Taiji, would he have imparted some martial arts to himself, but he hadn't discovered it?
The countless thoughts, after being shocked by the passing of the adoptive father, all vanished.
On the barren mountain for more than ten years, because he thought of the outside world, he left when he was sick, but I always felt that when I returned to the hut on the mountain, someone would curse and greet him. Yourself.
Since I remembered, I stayed on the mountain. Although I felt that this was too shabby, I thought that hut was a home in my heart.
Looking back carefully, at the beginning, I lived in a cave. When I got older, I slept on a tree in order to prevent being attacked by beasts at night. But sometimes, when a good dream is full, the old man will be cold-hearted. Appeared, kicked on a tree trunk and shook myself down. Even if it wasn't a pack of wild wolves, it was at least a dozen wild dogs that were hungry and dizzy. The two sides had a battle like this. At that time, the physical strength was not as good as it is now. , Every time is **** to break the siege.
Until one time, I broke out of the tiger pile and saw the old man cooking a barbecue in the distance. Then he straightened his chest, endured the pain, and walked to him to warn him not No matter how disturbing his dreams were, he stood up.
Before that, this old man rarely took the initiative to show a gentle smile like that time, and said: "Well, it's a good job...Speaking of which, I have never given you anything, what gift do I want?"
Before this, I never knew what a gift was. After asking him to explain it, the only thought that came to his mind was: "I want a room with doors, windows, chimneys, beds, tables and chairs, and beasts at night. The kind that won't run in."
God knows why he had this idea. Probably before that, the old man told himself several times about where people live in the outside world. Under his envy, he secretly tried to cover it, but he never succeeded. He lacked practical direction. Under the knowledge, only some nondescript strange things are made, and the wind blows down, which only makes the old man laugh.
This request is indeed weird, but the old man agreed without hesitation. In the next few days, the two did not do any training and worked together to collect materials. The old man drew a blueprint, asked his own opinions, and after co-designing Piece by piece, the house is composed of wood and thatch.
Although he is one of the three sages, the old man is not only a skillful craftsman, and his basic skills in carpentry are not satisfactory. After the built house collapsed three times, one night, he was taken from the tree again from his sleep. Kicking down, what caught my ears was not a tiger's roar, but a burst of laughter from the old man.
"Haha! Little beast, open your eyes and take a look! This is what you are capable of!"
I took a closer look and found that the old man was standing in front proudly and finally achieved his goal. He built a stable wooden house. Although it looked a little ridiculous, it was an actual house with doors and windows until he left the mountain. , Let alone the crooked house, not even half of the thatch fell off.
Usually raindrops do not enter, there is no risk of water leakage. The most exaggerated one is that eight tigers chased them endlessly. After hiding in the house at a critical moment, they hit the outside wall. The wooden board did not break, but instead Those tigers all fainted, and they were dumbfounded, and the old man next to him kept boasting about his craftsmanship.
I originally admired the old man’s way of reaching the sky, but now I think about it, it is naturally this generation of Primordial Demon Master, who was frustrated by a small wooden house for himself, became angry and cheated secretly. After the house was built, he used the power of heaven to strengthen. Only then did a super wooden house come out.
Fixed the house, there are doors and windows, but the furniture is still a big problem. I thought that the old man would slip down the mountain to buy, but I didn’t expect him to find a pile of wood and cut it honestly. Look With such a serious and focused appearance, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.
"With these, it is almost the same. In the future, when you are older, you will not say that I have not done anything for you, and I never let you enjoy a good day..."
When everything was done, the old man looked at his work and seemed to feel embarrassed, but from that time on, he left himself in the mountains and traveled long distances alone. He often left for several months for nearly half a year. When I come back, I will tell myself some old things and stories from the outside world.
The days are very hard. At that time, what I thought all day was that one day I would leave this ghost place and go to the outside world of colorful flowers. I never had the slightest nostalgia for this barren mountain. But deep down in my heart, the crooked wooden house is my most tangible "home".
What kind of place is the so-called home?
A place to live in, this is not a home, right? If you just want to find a place to rest and settle down, any hotel is fine, but no one will take the hotel as their home.
When the door is pushed open, all you see are tables, chairs and beds, an empty piece of land. The cold and loneliness will drown people in an instant. Such a place will not become a "home". Youxue once criticized that the ivory white pagoda is not for living people, and this is somewhat of the truth.
After I met Nier and married Xiaocao, I slowly realized that the so-called home should be a certain place to return. When I opened the door of the house, someone inside said kindly " Welcome home", a place like this can be regarded as home.
In the past, I always believed that when I returned to the mountain again, in that small wooden house, there would be someone welcoming myself as before. The two of them made a pot of hot tea and talked about all the things when they were walking outside. This idea gave me a lot of motivation and support. In one respect, I didn't want to lose face in front of the old man when I went back to the mountain, so I have been working hard until now.
But at this moment... the old man who would open the door for himself in the cabin is no longer alive.
Damn it! Why haven't you thought of it before?
It’s hard to say accurately about things in the human world. Life, death, gathering, and dispersal are constantly being staged in the human world every moment. Now I’m still talking and laughing with my relatives and friends. Once they are separated, there is no one. It can be guaranteed that there will be a chance to meet again next time! Why would I wishfully believe that the old man would have been waiting for him in the mountains?
No matter how many outstanding achievements he has in the past, now he is just a dying old man with illnesses on his body, why didn't he think of this, but he still regarded him as a child who would not fall down in his heart Where's the giant?
(...Damn...Smelly old man...It's nothing to die without saying a word! I haven't had time to tell you that I've made such a big business, and I didn't shame you... I haven't had time to surpass you...I haven't had time...............honor you......)
If it is said that the death of his wife on the night of Kiglu almost tore Lancelow’s heart in half; at this moment, he was shocked by the death of his adoptive father, and his heart was dug out, and it could even be said, All the childhood memories, the self on the barren hills of Hangzhou, were all torn up at once.
Too big a blow, Lancelow didn't know how he left the Taiyan Institute, but subconsciously came to the hotel street, found a random one, and drank spirits when he went in.
During binge drinking, it seemed that many people came to talk to me, but I didn’t pay attention to it, and couldn’t pay attention to it. I just drank big bowl after bowl of wine. When I felt that the place was too noisy, I got up and left. Drink it upside down and change to a new place.
I have changed my family to another, and I don’t know how much alcohol I drank and how much I vomited. My mind was a little groggy, but the grief that couldn’t help biting my heart didn’t fade. .
Never thought that when a person finds that he has no place to go back, he feels so uncomfortable...
Half drunk and half awake, just about to find a new store to drink again, but suddenly felt the breath of his wife. Xiaocao doesn't have a hobby of shopping in the hotel street, so, did he come to find himself? That just so happens that the husband and wife can have a big drink together.
Thinking about it, Lancelow squinted to find his wife, and happened to see her appearing on the corner of the street. Just as she was about to call out, she had turned sideways into the side alley. Obviously, she had another purpose here.
Curiously, Lancelow followed, and after a few twists and turns, she found that she had entered an **** bar with a closed sign "Not Envy."
(Strange, what does she do in this place? To fish for men? Or to dance a striptease? We are not so poor, right?)
My heart was strange, but my mind fainted. I leaned against the corner and rested. When I was drunk, I was sober, and then vaguely heard the voices of people in this closed bar, and I started to use my skills. , Listen to what's happening inside the wall.
"...Hey! Handsome guy, do you want to have a second-half relationship with me?"
I didn't hear the sarcasm in Xiaocao's tone, Lancelow was only shocked at the moment he heard the words, half awake, and hurriedly leaned in to listen, ready to break the wall at any time, but heard an unusual title.
"Second brother, please tell me everything today..."
Will be called the second brother by his wife. There should be only one person in the world. Is it possible that the second brother-in-law, Bai Wuji, who has always avoided meeting since the outbreak of the Civil War, is staying in this bar right now?
Being wondered, as the source of the sound went around, made a small hole in the wall, and looked at it secretly, and most of it was sober. There were only two people in it. Except for his wife, it was the super dandy cat. Could it be this person? Is it Bai Wuji? I'm really afterthought.
In order to be afraid of being discovered, coupled with the exhaustion of the physical and mental state, Lancelow no longer deliberately peeped, but just sat down against the wall and listened to the conversation inside.
"Big brother, he was made, right? According to the data above, I can probably understand why Dad ordered his existence to be obliterated. For Dad, the proud self would have such a It’s a humiliating thing for future generations, but after so much effort in the transformation plan, how could there be such a big mistake?"
"From the data point of view, the eldest brother shouldn’t be able to practice martial arts at all. How did he get his celestial power? I went to the Witch Palace to check the information and found that important records have been destroyed by my mother and you. What do you want to hide? Is there anything I can’t let me know?"
Xiao Cao said: "Brother, we are not outsiders, I am your sister! I think I have the right to know these, please tell me these things!"
Bai Wuji's response to these requests was naturally indifferent.
"Tell you, and then let you warn your husband who eats soft rice? How can I explain to the eldest brother? It is not the spirit of being a brother!"
Bai Wuji said: "My sister Liya has passed away in Kiglu. Now you, as you wish, are an outsider who has nothing to do with Reins. What rights do you have to demand from me?" /
For his plan in Kiglu, my elder brother always strongly opposes him, even now he still has a grudge. It’s not that I don’t know this, but things can’t go on like this, not just to help my husband In some aspects of my heart, I also hope to know more about my elder brother. His attitude is very strange. What he did does not seem to be as innocent on the surface. He does not want to make mistakes because of ignorance.
"If...if possible, I don't want to die there! How uncomfortable it feels to die, do you know brother?"
When the situation forced him, Xiaocao said that even in front of her husband, she never confided in her feelings.
"But what happened back then, what if I didn’t do this? Everyone present at the time, I didn’t want them to be harmed. Brother, tell me, if I don’t use that method, there is What other way can everyone live? Tell me?"
When tears appeared on his sister's face, Bai Wuji couldn't maintain the original indifferent expression. Looking at the wine glass in his hand, he was speechless.
"If you guys really think I am so important, then... why... why didn't you come back then?
I used to expect you to show up so much, why...you didn't come to save me? "
This sentence is not a lie. Although Kiglu's situation was arranged with one hand, when the situation was out of control and he was in a crisis, he did look forward to the rescue of the two elder brothers. Especially in recent days, I have seen the peerless demeanor of my elder brother. If he was present during the Battle of Kiglu and everyone worked together, let alone reversing the situation, it would definitely prevent Amakusa from leaving there.
But, obviously has such a strong power, when the sister is facing death, she ignores it. Is such an approach a manifestation of family affection?
Faced with such a serious accusation, a painful expression flashed across Bai Wuji's face, and after a long sigh, he nodded dejectedly.
"Okay! I'll tell you everything! I hope you won't regret it after listening, and don't tell anyone about these things, because this is something you shouldn't know..."
