Yan Qing thought of Xie Shiyi's evaluation of Yu Lanxi Ze, greed. He had a deeper understanding of this word after watching Wei Shengzhuang's last life fragment in the Bixi Pearl with frustration.
Lan Xize's words were just to appease Wei Shengzhuang. With his ability, he actually didn't need to be so cozy with Wei Sheng and Nian Yanxu for so many years.
The person who truly cooperated with the Qin and Xiao families was never Wei Shengyu, but him.
Back then, in the dense forests of southern Xinjiang, Lan Xize really wanted to destroy the Wangsheng Temple. But after that, as his cultivation became stronger and stronger, Lan Xize saw too much of the filth and evil of the aristocratic families, and he began to feel dissatisfied—
At the beginning, they were not satisfied with just destroying the Wangsheng Temple.
Later, he was not satisfied with just killing Wei Shengyu.
Not satisfied with just destroying the Canghai Realm.
Not satisfied with just dragging the entire Zijinzhou into the water.
Step by step, getting crazier and crazier.
Wei Sheng Zhuang was his first wife, childhood playmate, and also a very good chess piece. He actually knew everything, he knew that nightmare was a sin, he knew that Wei Sheng Nian Yan was crazy about him, and he also knew that this desire would affect Wei Sheng Zhuang.
One night, Lan Xize gently kissed her lightly made-up lips, her vertical pupils flashing a dim light.
"Chu Chu, what's wrong with us being like this? It would be great if there was a medicine in this world that could make you lose your memory."
He hooked Wei Shengzhuang's chin, forced her to look at him, and smiled, "This way you will only remember that you are a girl from the Wei Sheng tribe, and I am your husband. We met in the dense forest of southern Xinjiang, and after a hundred years of marriage, we have been deeply in love and together until old age."
Wei Shengzhuang's eyes were bloodshot, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Get lost."
Lan Xize said with a cold face: "Wei Shengzhuang, I don't like you? The way you look at me now."
Although Wei Shengzhuang is more rational than Dabai, she was raised in the Pure Land by her father and brother since she was a child, and later married Lan Xize, so in a sense she was protected. She is still easily tied up by many things, and for the sake of Qingshuang's bloodline, she is willing to be trapped in Lingxin Palace and become a puppet and a bird in a cage.
She will never be able to break these ties.
In the end, her father cut it off for her with his own hands before he died.
On the day when the head of the Qingshuang clan died, Lan Xize allowed her to go home. On the bed, seeing her father with a weak breath and scattered spiritual energy, Wei Shengzhuang's tears fell all at once.
Wei Shenghao waved at her and asked her to come over.
Wei Shengzhuang's eyes were red: "Dad, I'm sorry."
Wei Shenghao laughed, held her hand with his old age, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am the one who should say sorry, Chuchu. You should have been free and carefree, but it was the entire Weisheng family that dragged you down."
Wei Shenghao suddenly took out a pearl from his sleeve and said, "This is the treasure you found in the Cangwang Sea when you were eleven years old. Do you remember it?"
Wei Shengzhuang choked up and said, "I remember?"
Wei Shenghao's eyes were gentle and sad. After coughing, he said in an old voice, "Chu Chu, I never thought about which man in this world is worthy of you. You said before that you would never marry. Although I scolded you for being unreasonable, I was proud of you in my heart. You don't need love to bind you, but I didn't expect that what bound you in the end was not love, but family affection, benevolence, and me."
Wei Shengzhuang took the pearl which was not of good quality and was speechless.
Wei Shenghao: "I'm about to die. After the accident that year, I asked your brothers and sisters to slowly move away from Zijinzhou. Now there is nothing here that can hold you back."
His old hand wiped her tears and said, "Chu Chu, you have been unhappy these years. I'm sorry, live for yourself in the future."
She clenched the pearl tightly between her fingers and walked out in a daze. At that moment, a huge fire broke out in Wei Shenghao's bedroom.
Wei Shengzhuang turned around in the sea of fire, letting the hot sparks burn away her tears.
The first time she tried to escape, she was easily intercepted by Lan Xize.
Lan Xize was so angry that he laughed. He put a red string on her ring finger to make it feel sensitive to his own.
Lan Xize's tone was both cold and cruel: "Wei Shengzhuang, believe it or not, if you escape, I will make you cry and beg me to come back."
They tortured each other for a while, and Lan Xize began to feed Wei Shengzhuang blood again.
Dabai was too young to completely control this nightmare, and sometimes Weishengzhuang would fall into the devil again, and when she had a mental breakdown, her heart would start to ache again. She thought numbly that this was not bad, she had endless wealth and power, and Lan Xize was an extremely good husband, and she was envied by everyone.
But soon, as the frequency of her dry heaving and discomfort gradually increased, Wei Shengzhuang felt that her sea of consciousness was becoming lighter and lighter, and she was becoming more and more clear-headed.
This clarity comes from the baby in her belly.
It was Dabai who told her the news of her pregnancy.
"My little master! You? You? You? You? You? Are you pregnant!"
Wei Shengzhuang sat in front of the dressing table in a daze, and gently touched her belly with her fingers: "I'm pregnant?"
Dabai was even more excited than her. He swallowed and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you are pregnant. What's more, the baby in your belly is Liuli Xin!"
Wei Shengzhuang murmured: "Liuli Heart?"
Dabai jumped up and down: "Yeah, this? It's incredible. Even among the ancient gods and Buddhas, only the head of the gods, Emperor Nandou, has a glass heart. To have a glass heart, you can say that you are born a god."
"Born to be a god?" Wei Shengzhuang repeated this sentence softly, and laughed briefly with red eyes. She never thought that this child had saved her life before he was born. But she stretched out her hand tremblingly to touch him, wanting to feel his body temperature, but she could only feel a chill and a pure and extreme coldness.
Dabai was very happy: "My little master, this is a good thing!"
Wei Shengzhuang stared out the window in a daze: "Dabai, do you think Liu Lixin can put an end to all this?"
Dabai, who doesn't understand human emotions, said, "What?"
Wei Shengzhuang bit her lip, hugged her belly, and was so sad that she couldn't say a word.
Wei Shengzhuang finally found a chance to escape. She had been drinking Wei Sheng Nianyan's blood, and because she was pregnant, she was gentle and quiet, like a completely domesticated canary, temporarily confusing Lan Xize.
While Lan Xize was meeting with the head of the Qin family, she used her blood to activate the formation at home and left Zijinzhou.
All her abilities come from nightmares. The red line on her ring finger is in resonance with Lanxi Ze, so she has to use her magic power during her escape. She stole the Bixi Pearl from Lingxin Palace, concealed her breath, and then ran to a corner of the human world with Dabai.
Dabai jumped up and down: "Ah, little master, we are finally out, we can continue to look for the tripod. Uh, little master, why are you crying?"
From Zijinzhou, it leads directly to the Human Barrier City, which is also close to the Cangwang Sea. She walked step by step into the mountains, and then found a cave. She did not use her spiritual power, but built a fire and leaned against the wall, staring at the flames in a trance.
Dabai was still puzzled: "Young Master, Young Master..."
Wei Shengzhuang whispered, "Dabai, do you remember that I asked you what nightmare is? You said nightmare is evil, nightmare is evil." Her fingers touched her eyes, and she remembered the indescribable excitement and bloodiness when she pinched Wei Sheng Nianyan's neck by the forbidden lake. Wei Shengzhuang shuddered, and a pale and fragile smile appeared at the corner of her lips: "Lan Xize, he wants me to be like him."
Dabai was terrified: "Little Master, what are you talking about?"
Wei Shengzhuang stared absentmindedly at the rain outside the cave and said, "Dabai, I'm so tired now."
"Father said that my brothers have already escaped from Zijin Continent, but where can they escape to in such a big world? It would be too easy for Lan Xize to threaten me with them."
Dabai: "Young Master..."
Wei Shengzhuang said to himself: "It would be great if there were no nightmares in the world. Without the demon seeds, there would be no Wangsheng Temple, and nothing after that."
She opened her palms and looked at the bead she had picked up from the Vast Sea. Seeing it sparkling in the light of the bonfire, the corners of her lips curled up, and at the same time, the tears that had been suppressed for a long time fell.
She lowered her head, her hair falling softly on the side of her face. She looked surprisingly gentle under the orange glow. Her fingers felt the unborn life through her belly.
Wei Shengzhuang said: "Thank you for saving me... But, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
What happened afterwards was just like the rumors about Zijinzhou.
After Wei Shengzhuang disappeared, Lan Xize was very angry and ordered the entire Nine Heavens to patrol and hunt her down.
Lan Xize, who was in the Spirit Transformation Stage, had extraordinary abilities. Through various means, he finally found the Barrier City.
The first year of Jinghong, the beginning of everything.
Lan Xi Ze found out where Wei Sheng Zhuang was hiding, and a thunderbolt struck from the sky, causing strange phenomena to fall from the sky and breaking the grass and trees. The five families in Zhancheng were holding a hunting banquet at the time, but they were completely interrupted by the sudden thunder and strong wind. In panic, people and horses fell to the ground, and the carriages and horses of the Xie Mansion fell in front of the hunter Liu's house.
Lan Xize wandered through the mountains and forests, determined to find her.
Wei Shengzhuang tightly grasped the Breath Avoidance Pearl, not daring to use her spiritual power, and could only stumble down the mountain while holding her stomach. Her feet were covered with scratches from the gravel, and her body was covered in blood. At this moment of despair, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
Her baby is about to be born.
Wei Shengzhuang clenched her teeth. Suddenly, she heard the sound of blowing leaves in her ears, which was exactly the same as the sound she heard for the first time in the dense forest of southern Xinjiang.
Poisonous snakes were lying in wait, and insects and beasts were rustling, all rushing towards her.
Her eyes were red and she ran down the mountain exhausted, and finally collapsed in front of the Liu family's door.
"Save my child, please, save him..." As her pale and trembling fingers grabbed the hem of Old Lady Liu's clothes, she uttered these words intermittently.
Wei Shengzhuang's mind was blank and she didn't know what she wanted.
Perhaps he wanted an end. The end of his absurd life, and the end of this chaotic world.
Mrs. Liu couldn't bear it and took her into the room.
"Girl, take a deep breath, take a deep breath, don't be nervous."
Old Madam Liu kept wiping her body with hot water, and basins of blood flowed out.
At this moment, Wei Shengzhuang was becoming confused and heard Dabai's exclamation.
"No! Master! These nightmares are trying to kill him!"
"My little master, wake up quickly! Don't faint!"
Wei Shengzhuang was sweating profusely, her face was as pale as paper. She was not afraid of the pain of childbirth, but the nightmare in her sea of consciousness was tormenting her.
Dabai had already sensed her determination to die in the cave, and now she was so sad that she was crying and couldn't speak.
"My little master, I'm sorry. I wish I hadn't taken you to the dense forests of southern Xinjiang. I'm sorry."
Wei Shengzhuang wanted to speak out to comfort it, but she was too tired. She had heard many people say sorry in her life, her father, Lan Xize, Dabai, it seemed that everyone was sorry to her... But what was the real reason that forced her to do all this
She really wanted to kill Lan Xize.
But she couldn't do it.
She didn't even dare to indulge in hatred, because she was afraid that Yan would find an opportunity to make her become the same person as Lan Xize.
Wei Shengzhuang said: "… Save him, Dabai."
Dabai wiped away his tears and said, "Okay, Master."
The ignorant and naive spirit of Wangchuan made every decision too childish. It coexists with Wangchuan Ding, one for collecting and the other for sealing. Its function is actually to collect nightmares - but without Wangchuan Ding, it can only use its body to fight to the death with the nightmares born from the evil.
Dabai's entity was actually a ball of white mist. It transformed and began to try to absorb those nightmares. However, it was too weak after being separated from the Wangchuan Cauldron, and was quickly devoured by the nightmares.
Black and white blended and fought, and finally a golden light burst out from between Wei Shengzhuang's eyebrows.
Dabai kept crying and kept saying sorry: "Little master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I'm sorry, just think of this as the last thing I do for you."
Yan Tiansheng had a huge hatred and fear towards Liu Lixin! He wished he could kill that child completely!
But their fangs were blocked by the spirit of Wangchuan before they could stretch out. But Nightmare became excited, because to Nightmare, the spirit of Wangchuan was the most delicious food in the world.
Dabai felt that his body was filled with nightmare. He sniffed, and flew out of Weishengzhuang's sea of consciousness trembling.
The moment Dabai and countless nightmares escaped from Weishengzhuang's sea of consciousness, Weishengzhuang let out a painful howl.
Mrs. Liu couldn't see what was happening in the air. She just held Wei Shengzhuang's hand tightly and said, "Girl, push harder! Girl, the baby is about to be born!"
Wei Shengzhuang's eyes were red and tearful, and she looked up and stared at a certain point in the sky.
There were layers of black shackles wrapped around Dabai's body. It was so scared that its body was shaking, but it still stumbled in the air and flew out of the window.
Yan Qing looked serious as he saw Dabai's milky white body becoming lighter and lighter, until finally, it was completely swallowed up by the nightmare.
After devouring the spirit of Wangchuan, "Nightmare" seemed to have gained intelligence. A strange red light emanated from its entire body, and it stretched its body contentedly.
The next second, the sound of leaves filled the sky, earth, and mountains.
The red light on the nightmare became brighter and brighter. Yan Qing could feel it looking towards Lanxi Lake, not out of fear, but out of greed, a kind of greed that was purely for the sake of food. It wanted to swim over, but was immediately pulled back to where it was by Dabai's remaining consciousness.
They all had low mental abilities, so the final result was that, in the midst of all the entanglements, Dabai finally used a bit of his strength, and with this ball of nightmare, he flew and stopped, through the streets and alleys, and entered the belly of a lady in luxurious clothes.
Mrs. Bai, who was anxiously picking up medicine at the pharmacy, suddenly felt a chill in her stomach and stopped. The maid beside her asked cautiously, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Bai frowned, then shook her head: "Nothing."
Seeing her worried look, the maid said kindly, "Don't worry, Madam. Many women in the city have used this method. You will definitely get pregnant this time."
Mrs. Bai said bitterly, "Yes, I will definitely get pregnant this time. The imperial physician from Chu said that I will never get pregnant in this lifetime. I think he is a quack. I really don't believe this nonsense!"
Yan Qing witnessed everything, feeling frustrated. He was silent for a long time before he chuckled and said, "Dissatisfied, we have finally arrived at the place where everything began."
The first year of Jinghong
Wei Shengzhuang died, Lan Xize's fingers were cut off, and a huge fire burned itself in the Lingxin Palace of Zijinzhou, leaving only ashes.
The first year of Jinghong
When Xie Shiyi was born, in order to avoid the disaster of extermination of the entire family, the Liu family lied that he was Madam Chu Xuan's son and handed him over to the head of the Xie family.
The first year of Jinghong
In the sixth year after Mrs. Bai's marriage, she found out that she was pregnant. She was so happy that she invited everyone to a banquet and decorated the barrier city with lights and lanterns for more than ten days.
The first year of Jinghong? Winter Solstice.
Bai Xiaoxiao was born.
Yan Qing thought of the beginning of her rebirth, and the aphrodisiac in Yin Wuwang's body in the cave.
After laughing, he murmured: "It turns out that the aphrodisiac is not what Yan Qing wants to force himself on..."
There is no need for aphrodisiacs at all.
Bai Xiaoxiao is the nightmare itself, an evil thought transformed by lust. His blood and tears are deadly aphrodisiacs, and his body will make people willingly die for him.
After absorbing the spirit of Wangchuan, Bai Xiaoxiao also gained a terrifying ability, Devouring. So after Zixiao died, the nightmare energy in his body was easily inherited by him, allowing him to become a Dongxu monk without any sequelae.
"Love Nightmare", love nightmare.
"You can go out now." Yan Qing turned around with frustration and shattered this illusion that recorded Wei Shengzhuang's life of love and hate.
The Breath-Resisting Bead finally fell into the hands of the great grandfather of the Liu family, so the last scene was also from the perspective of this hunter. After he sent Xie Shiyi away, he always felt guilty and would send something in front of Wei Shengzhuang's grave from time to time. But the last time, the scene he saw scared him completely, and the wine cup and steamed bun in his hand fell to the ground.
He saw that Wei Shengzhuang's grave had been dug up, the coffin lid had been opened, and there was no grass growing in the area of 100 miles, only a stone tablet. Someone was sitting on the stone tablet, covered in blood, holding a leaf to his lips and blowing it gently. His silver hair was like snow, and there were fireflies all around him.
