Even for someone like Bai Hechou, when he arrived at the emerald green palace with the falling snow, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
"Please." Luoxue pointed to the wide open palace door and made a gesture with a smile. And standing behind Luoxue, those old elves in the clan all looked surprised. The elf king actually wanted to invite a human to enter the sacred elf temple
Let a human... enter the temple
But Luo Xue didn't say anything, how could the elders of the elves below dare to ask half a word
Bai He looked at the emerald green palace intently, and could vaguely feel the sacred and dignified aura emanating from it, but he just twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, waved his sleeves, and strode in.
When Luoxue and Bai Hechou entered the hall, the door covered with vines closed silently, blocking everyone's surprised eyes from the outside.
The hall is silent, silent, silent and solemn, solemn... like death!
Luoxue smiled lightly, and she and Bai Heshou were sitting on the floor in front of the altar!
The altar dedicated to the god of elves was regarded by the two as an ordinary long table. Then, as if by magic, Luoxue took out a wooden pot and two long cups from behind, gently placed them on the table, lifted the wooden pot, and filled the two wooden cups with a bright liquid.
Green, with red in the green, is for green blood!
"Wine?" Bai Hechou said lightly, "I don't drink."
"It's water." Luoxue smiled lightly and said, "There is a sacred object among my elves. Its name is Garuda Flower. Also known as Jade Blood. This is the nectar of Garuda Flower. I was born with this thing, and it was given to me by the spirit god. The gift of the clan."
Only then did Bai Hechou nod his head. Actually no longer refuse. Pick up a cup in front of you. Drank it down. Like his and Luoxue's status and identities. Of course it is impossible to play some cheap tricks like poisoning-in this world. Something that can poison Bai Hechou to death. I'm afraid not yet.
This green blood nectar. The land is indeed a sacred object of the elves. There have always been only elder-level elves. You can taste some of them at the annual Earth and Moon Festival. This nectar contains rich magical elements. after drinking. It's even more refreshing. It is really a first-class magic tonic.
But Bai Hechou finished drinking. But suddenly he said something that made Luoxue stunned.
"The taste is mediocre, not sour or sweet, not as good as the barbecue made by Du Wei."
Luo Xue was startled. It seems that he did not expect this extremely cold and snow-like figure. He actually uttered such a vulgar and vulgar sentence, and seemed to frown. He smiled and said, "This water can calm the mind."
"My heart is very quiet. I don't need external force." Bai Hechou said lightly.
"But I'm not calm." Luoxue shook her head. Pick up the wooden cup and drink it down. There is light in its eyes: "When you first came here, I felt it."
"But you just showed up today." Bai Hechou's voice suddenly became a little more mocking: "I thought you would continue to bear it."
"That's why I said. My heart is not calm enough." Luoxue sighed: "Actually, no matter how many orcs you kill, it has nothing to do with me. It's just... I am the king now."
Since you are the king, you can't ignore it.
"You invited me here. Afraid people will see?" Bai Hechou nodded.
"Yes." Luoxue's face was solemn: "I am the king. I cannot be defeated. Even if I lose, I cannot be seen by others."
Bai Hechou actually smiled. He looked at Luoxue. There was silence for a while: "You have indeed improved. Unfortunately... not enough."
talking. This peerless powerhouse. Gently push out the wooden cup in front of you for a few minutes. Then stick out a finger. Swipe lightly.
Silently. On the wooden cup. Suddenly, it cracked gently from the edge of the cup, the incision was extremely smooth. Not even a single grain of wood was broken, as if the cut was so natural!
Luo Xue saw it. A pair of eyes suddenly lit up again. In this dark hall, its eyes are as bright as torches!
The Elf King knew it well. The opponent swiped lightly. Power does not cut the wine glass... but directly cuts the space!
Broken painting!
Then the Elf King also stretched out his hands. With a light close, a gentle force emanated from its palm. The wooden cup that was originally cracked. Silently, gently healed again. It seems that it has never been cracked! Seeing that the cracks are healing bit by bit. There was no surprise in Bai Hechou's eyes, but there was a hint of...satisfaction!
Afterwards, he actually grabbed the wooden pot and refilled the cracked and healed wooden cup, watching the blood-like liquid fill up. Bai Hechou stretched out his finger again, and swiped lightly!
this time. Not just that wooden cup. Even the liquid in the cup was split into two lightly and deftly! Naturally. No trace! What's more subtle is that the wooden cup is divided into two halves, but the liquid in the cup does not spill at all, and it still maintains its original shape. The section of the liquid is crystal clear, but it remains completely silent.
Luo Xuedi's eyes became serious. It took a deep breath, then let it out, and put its hands together again, a faint purple light radiated from its palm, trying to heal the cutting cracks in the space one by one, but this time, Bai He's worried finger didn't move back. His fingertips lightly tapped the table. Seeing that the traces of cutting have already disappeared from under the wooden cup. Gradually spread on this altar. Silently, the surface of the altar immediately split into two...
Purple rays of light falling on the snow. He was trying his best to heal the crack in the space, but his strength was obviously much lower than that of Bai Heshou. The crack had gradually extended to the front of Luoxuedi, only a few minutes away from the hand that put it on the table!
Although the purple light has tried its best, the speed of healing is far slower than the speed of cutting.
Finally, a few beads of cold sweat broke out on Luoxue's forehead, but she suddenly stretched out her palm, on the crack that extended to her face. Press hard!
This time. In the air between the two. Suddenly a subtle ripple appeared, and everything in that space seemed to rippling as if the calm lake surface was broken, followed by Luoxue's palm pressing on the crack. It actually prevented the crack from spreading.
Bai Hechou nodded again. He slowly withdrew his fingers. Raise your sleeves to stroke gently. The cracks disappeared instantly. In the hall. Everything was calm again.
Breathing in the falling snow was a bit rough. His face flushed slightly. But it seemed that a scar on the cheek became more and more obvious.
"You have crossed the broken painting." Bai Hechou finally showed a hint of relief. But then he sighed again: "It's just. But I still can't be my opponent."
"Broken painting?" Luoxue was a little curious about this strange word. Tasted a little bit. It smiled: "It's a very incisive statement. If you understand the rules of power, I'm afraid there is no one in this world who can compare with Mr. Bai."
"There has always been such a thing as rules, and they have always been changing." Bai He said sadly: "You and I are both people in the painting, and we want to jump out of this painting... It's a pity, elf. Although you have been in the past few months Improvement. But slower than I expected."
"Rules. What exactly are they?" Luoxue knelt on the ground. But he looked at Bai Hechou sincerely. Sincerely ask for advice.
"The so-called holy rank. It means comprehending the rules. But the holy rank is also divided into high and low strengths. Comprehension can only be regarded as entry." In the small courtyard of the imperial capital. Lan Haiyue leaned against the big locust tree. Slowly said: "There is only one strong person in the world today, such as the defected paladin under you. It is a pity that he has not been able to make further progress in the past few years. It is not that he is not talented enough. It is just that his The opportunity hasn't come yet."
The old man lifted the boiling teapot on the stove and filled the cup in front of Du Wei. I still didn’t forget to warn: “Drink it full. This tea should be tasted. Don’t spoil my good things.”
paused. He continued to laugh and said: "For example, Hussein, such as Rodriguez. They have already entered the room, but they are still at the stage of comprehending the rules of power. They can only use this rule. But it is already the limit. This is the limit of the realm, and it cannot be forced. If you want to break through, you still need an opportunity. And comprehend the rules to go up one level. It is to change the rules! It's a higher level, such as Chishui Duan. For example... me." Lan Haiyue sighed softly: "But this change is also very limited. I have to say that with the strength of Chishui Duan and I, if we meet Hussein And Rodriguez. It is enough to defeat them. Because they can use the rules, but we can slightly change the rules, making them at a loss. Even a slight change in the battle is enough to change the outcome Yes. In terms of realm, the slightest difference is a huge gap."
"Changing the rules is only the second stage of the holy rank. If you go up, you will break the painting! Or, break the rules!" Lan Haiyue suddenly smiled and looked at the sky: "My tyrannical junior, Bai He Sorrow was the first to reach this level. No matter how hard your opponent comprehends the rules of this power, no matter how you change the rules, he just stretches out his hand and wipes them lightly, and they will all be destroyed! This is where his strength lies! ! Therefore, with his ability, he can actually be regarded as the number one person in the world!"
"The holy rank is like this. When you reach the holy rank, your vision does not stop at the size of the strength. It is the rule! Therefore, although the ninth rank and above are the holy ranks, if you really want to fight, ten nine ranks are not enough. Don't even think about defeating a holy rank, it's a huge difference in realm. But once you break through the holy rank...it's a domain." Lan Haiyue smiled wryly: "I think Bai Hechou should have been promoted to the domain level by now."
"The level of the field, to be clear, is to create rules! You can break the rules, and then create again, and everything is up to you... In fact, you have already touched the threshold of the highest peak." Lan Haiyue smiled lightly: " However, at this time, you will find a depressing situation: you have reached the realm, but suddenly find that your strength is not enough."
"This is a delicate cycle. When you have not reached the holy rank, whether you are at the seventh or ninth rank, what you are looking for is the strength of the strength. Once you reach the holy rank, you give up the pursuit of strength and go Instead, it is to pursue the rules, and after breaking through the field, it is necessary to go back to the starting point and pursue the strength again... It is ironic, isn't it?" Lan Haiyue looked at Du Wei with a smile: "Don't be so surprised. These things, I Although it is far from reaching this level. But I have never eaten pork. I have seen pigs running. Besides, our teacher Gu Lanxiu is a generation of witch kings. He has been studying power all his life. It is normal to make some guesses."
Du Wei nodded.
For example. You are a swordsman. When you are still a master in general. You'll need your long sword as sharp as possible. It is best to be able to hold a sword that cuts gold and jade with unparalleled sharpness! This is the time to duel with your opponent. will take the lead. But once you enter the room. Suddenly you have mastered the supernatural skill of Dugu Nine Swords. Then you are holding a broken iron rod or Yitian sword. In fact, there is not much difference.
Still be invincible all over the world!
But if you enter another layer! Your opponent is not a person in the world! But heaven and earth!
To create the rules of heaven and earth, this "sword" in your hand. If it's not sharp enough, then again it won't work!
In other words, if you just want to lift a big rock, it is enough to have a thick stick in your hand as a lever, but if you want to lift a big mountain... a stick will not work! Stronger and harder levers are needed!
Above the holy steps. After reaching the field. Power must be sought again.
And this power. that is. godhead!
"I just want to know. Our Majesty the Witch King has gone to the north. Do you know?" Du Wei stared at Lan Haiyue: "He sent his apprentice to you. Then he Run to the north. I will not hide from you, he even sent me a letter... This guy has done so many things, although I know that with his strength, I don't need to worry about him. But... He did No matter how you look at it, it seems that you are asking Gu and leaving a suicide note!"
Du Wei's tone was a little anxious.
"Is there anyone in this world who can be Bai Hechou's opponent?" Lan Haiyue shook her head: "No."
"Unless the opponent this guy is looking for is not a human! It's a god!" Du Wei said coldly, "There are gods in the north!"
"He is a lunatic. He has always been." Lan Haiyue lay back on the armchair. Adjusted the most comfortable posture: "I actually know it. He has never had an enemy in his life! His enemy has always been himself! So in the past few decades, although he defeated Master. Snow Mountain. He also drove our two senior brothers to run around. But he never regarded us or anyone as his opponent in his heart! He was always competing with himself. He was always fighting against himself! Finally One day. He defeated himself and became the number one person in the world... But when he raised his head, he looked around in a daze, but there was no opponent. At this time, for this lunatic, the only thing he had to do was to find A new target!"
"Everyone's pursuit is different. In this world, some people are lustful. Some people love power. Some people like wine. Some people have no ambitions. Some people just want to eat and die. Live a happy life. But Bai Hechou is not. He is a person, The only goal he was born with seems to be "strengthening"! To become stronger infinitely. To be stronger forever! Therefore, he seems to have defeated the teacher and took away the Daxue Mountain. In fact, he has no power at all. He just regards the teacher as It’s his whetstone. It’s just a stone that must be defeated and removed on his way to become stronger. Chishui and I are divorced. It doesn’t even count as a stone. It can only be regarded as his training partner.”
When Lan Haiyue talked about these things, her tone was a bit bleak: "This truth. I actually only realized it recently. It seems that I used a clever trick back then to force him to swear. I only came to trouble me once in ten years... In fact, now I Only then did I gradually understand. He did it on purpose! He deliberately put a whip behind Chishui Duandi and me, whipped us hard, forcing us to make rapid progress so that we can continue to serve as his training partner! In fact, we can live He came down, not because of my tricks, nor because I forced him to swear a poisonous oath. It’s just that he needs two of us as sparring partners. It’s lonely enough without opponents. But if you don’t even have sparring partners... that day will be terrible How are you doing?"
Du Wei laughed: "As a result, Baihe is worried about being strong. You and Chishui have already broken the rule-changing powerhouse among the two holy ranks!"
"It can be said. It's like this." Lan Haiyue sighed: "I and Duan were forced out by him. But now...he has broken through again. Suddenly, I, as a training partner, have been far behind. He needs it, or rather, he doesn't need a partner anymore. That's why he gave up on me... He reconciled with me. He sent a female apprentice. Throw it to me. Then he left Daxue Mountain by himself... He is again Tell us one thing."
"What's the matter?" Du Wei asked.
Lan Haiyue coughed suddenly. The aunt without the image of a wise man said "Mom!"
Then, this old man known for his gentleness and wisdom. Suddenly jumped up. pointing to heaven. Cursing like a rough man with red eyes after losing money from gambling: "**** you Bai Hechou! You are telling us: I won't play with you anymore! Your strength is too weak. You are no longer worthy to continue playing with me I don’t even have the qualifications to be a sparring partner! So now I’m going to find a stronger opponent who is qualified to play with me! It doesn’t matter if it’s a big snow mountain or any grievances between teachers. It’s just that he drove us away back then Whip. Now I don’t need any sparring partner. Naturally, I don’t want a whip either!”
Du Wei felt that his throat was blocked and uncomfortable. He took another sip of tea. This time with a grunt. He even swallowed the tea leaves in one gulp. But I still feel uncomfortable in my heart.
"But...going north to pray for God...isn't it courting death?" Du Wei smiled wryly: "I admit that he is not strong like a human being. But after all, he is not a god yet."
"Killing will punch you, drowning will kill you." Lan Haiyue sneered and said, "People in the world always take these two sentences as warnings, but they don't know. These two sentences are actually a description of fate! If the boxer stops punching, and the water-swimming person stops swimming...then it would be better to die! If a person doesn't even have his own goal, then he is dead! Therefore, Bai Hechou went north not to ask God. It's to survive!"
The old man lightly patted the bark on the big locust tree beside him: "Fortunately, he finally found a new target. Otherwise, a strong man like him. If he loses his target, I'm afraid he will really die by himself." .”
Du Wei closed his eyes and thought for a while. Then open your eyes. Looking at Lan Haiyue. His smile is gentle. He said softly: "What is your goal?"
"What is your goal?" Bai Hechou sat opposite the Elf King. Looking at the "sparing partner" in front of him.
The Witch King had a smile on his face... Bai Hechou, who never liked to smile. It seems like I have laughed so many times today.
His voice seemed to be asking. But it seems to be a kind of self-talk: "You are the king of elves. You are the leader of the army of criminals. Your goal. Could it be that you lead the criminals and invade the human world. Avenge your ancestors thousands of years ago? Take back Where do you live? Well, you still have to bear the life and death of your people. You are responsible for the prosperity of the elves... These are all your goals."
Looking at Luoxue. Bai He shook his head sadly: "So. You are not strong enough. You have too many goals."
The reason is very simple. So simple that everyone in the world knows it! But everyone knows the truth. But only Bai Hechou did it alone!
The only goal in his life. That is: strong!
To be strong. He can throw everything away! What big snow mountain, what kind of grievances between the teachers. Even the enjoyment of living alone. Life. emotion. He can throw it all away!
As the Daxue Mountain Witch King. He can do it for strength. Throw away the Daxueshan lineage casually. Go north alone!
In his heart, he doesn't care about anything. Only care about one word: strong!
so. He is the strongest. He is Bai Hechou!
so. He is qualified to face Luoxue. With a mocking tone. Lightly teased the other party "You are not strong enough!"
Luo Xuedi's face was very calm: "I know, you probably didn't come to look for me."
The Elf King's voice was a bit bitter: "Because I'm not qualified yet."
Bai He nodded sadly. admit. Then he pointed to the side. He pointed to the direction. Crossed the altar. After the altar. It's a statue!
That moon image. The image of an elf. carrying a longbow...
"I'm here to find it...or it is. They." Bai Hechou said truthfully: "God! I just want to know. How can I find them. Or how can I force them to appear?"
Luo Xue did not speak.
Bai Hechou shook his head: "Maybe. I'm going to kill you? You criminals. Kill one hundred and eighty thousand. Or kill you... to force them to appear? If this is possible. Trust me. I won't mind doing it land."
The voice is full of indifference and coldness!
"They. Where are they!"
"Are you leaving now?" Lan Haiyue watched as Du Wei suddenly dropped the teacup. He strode to the gate of the small courtyard. frowned.
"What else can you do if you don't leave?" Du Wei didn't look back.
Lan Haiyue sighed. he knows. In the room behind the courtyard. Ai Lu looked faintly. He was shooting at Du Weidi through the crack of the door.
"You... already know?" Lan Haiyue smiled wryly.
Du Wei finally stopped. But he still didn't look back: "Got it! That old pervert sent his precious apprentice to your side. Then he ran to the north without a word to survive and die... I'm not a fool. I still don't understand what he means ?”
"She's very young. Actually, I can't bear it." Lan Haiyue shook her head: "You..."
"I..." Du Wei suddenly took a deep breath. Turn around and face the hut. he knows. The girl looked at herself through the crack of the door. Then he said out loud, "I'm sorry!"
After speaking. Du Wei didn't stop any longer. He strode out of the small courtyard. Out of the street in one breath!
Lan Haiyue sighed quietly. But there was a bang. Ai Lu has already run out of the room. He rushed to the front of his own ground.
"You... heard everything?" Lan Haiyue didn't look up.
Ai Lu has taken off her mask. Biting his lip hard. Tears filled her eyes. finally. With a plop, he knelt down in front of Lan Haiyue.
"I... I don't want to be the Witch King!"
Tears finally flowed out. Tears stained his cheeks. The girl kowtowed in front of Lan Haiyue.
"Fool...you. Me. And your perverted teacher. They are all fools." Lan Haiyue murmured. Stretched out a withered hand. Gently stroking Ai Lu's hair.
look into the distance. The outline of the city wall of the imperial capital is already in sight.
but. As the saying goes, Wangshan runs to death. Although the city wall of the imperial capital is already in the distance. But even if you hurry up now. It may not be possible to arrive before sunset.
On the road southeast of the imperial capital. In a luxurious carriage. A teenager stuck his head out of the car window and looked at the imperial capital. There was a little excitement and anticipation on his face.
"Master." A guard knight rode to the side of the carriage. He bowed at the horse and saluted: "I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the city tonight. Shall we spend the night in a small town outside?"
"No need." The boy in the carriage. Has a handsome face. Keep your nose straight. and thin lips. It symbolizes that he is a resolute and resolute character: "My brother said in a letter. He will wait for us at the gate of the city tonight. Let everyone hurry up. I will spend the night at home tonight."
Immediately, the knight nodded without saying a word and led the way. Then the convoy picked up speed. Horseshoe bursts. The wheels are rolling. Headed towards the direction of the imperial capital.
It ran for an hour. The sun had already set by now. According to the law of the empire. this moment. The gates of the imperial capital have already been closed.
But when this team of carriages arrived at the southeast gate of the imperial capital. But he saw the city gate wide open. A young man dressed in black stood under the city gate. Put your hands behind your back. There was a gentle smile on his handsome face. Bright eyes. But extraordinarily soft.
"elder brother!"
The carriage has not stopped yet. The boy in the car had already jumped out. A few strides ran over. Then he hugged the young man vigorously.
He hugged his brother hard. The two brothers reunited after a long absence. The younger brother in my arms. It has grown a lot in the past two years. He was almost as tall as himself. The shoulders are also much wider.
and. It's not like when I was weak when I was young. The younger brother has been strong since he was a child. The genetic characteristics of the family seem to be fully reflected in him. Although only fourteen years old. But already has a three-point charm of the heir of the Wu Xun family.
"Okay. Still so frizzy." Du Wei smiled slightly: "In a few days. You are going to be an earl."
Gabriel looked at his brother's face. But I noticed it. Although my brother smiled very gently. But there was a melancholy look in his eyes: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Has anyone offended you in the imperial capital?"
"No." Du Wei said lightly: "The people who dare to offend me now. I'm afraid I won't be able to find them." He paused. He shook his head: "It's just being pissed off by an inhuman guy. It's no big deal."
talking. He took his brother's hand. He strode into the city gate. Behind those family guards. Follow immediately.
Officers guarding the city gates. He watched the two leave with respectful eyes.
Although the city gate is not yet closed at this moment. Let people in. It is against the law. But this pair of brothers. But it is a standard privileged class!
Duke Tulip wants to take his younger brother into the city. Let the southeast gate of the imperial capital close an hour late. Who dares to talk too much!
"Next month is your birthday. It's also your coming-of-age ceremony." Du Wei looked at his younger brother who was growing up. He smiled again: "Also. Your fiancée. I have seen it for you. She is a nice girl. She just has a bit of a temper."
