Forty-six years ago, Yunlou Qingshu was born.
He is the third child of Yunlou Feijing. He is a concubine. His mother is a famous prostitute in Yunlou City. He was not brought home until he was six years old. He has a brother and a sister above him.
Twenty-three years ago, Yunlou Qingshu was twenty-three years old.
On his birthday, Yunlou Flying Whale was poisoned and died. On the same day, Yunlou Qingxi, the orthodox heir of Yunlou City, was assassinated. Fortunately, he survived, but his face was completely ruined and he disappeared ever since.
From then on, Yunlou Qingshu became the lord of the city, inherited the position of Duke, occupied Yunlou, and controlled the sea and land hub between the East and the West.
This should have been the pinnacle and the most glorious day of his life. Unfortunately, from that day on, thieves continued to rebel in the city, using the name of Prince Qingxi to start rebellions, and public resentments arose one after another.
The Cathay Empire has also been reluctant to issue an edict to recognize Yunlou Qingshu's position.
As a son of a concubine, he has no roots, no roots, no foundation, and to be able to reach such a level, his strategy, courage, ambition, and government are terrifying. Unfortunately, he lacks the same thing after all...
"The blood of gods."
Ye Qingxuan understood what Hermes meant and said with a sudden expression: "He is a mixed race, his blood is not pure, he is not even a musician."
"That's right."
Hermes applauded.
The Yunlou family has inherited the artifact "Emperor Jun" from generation to generation and controls the Yunlou on the sea. All the family heads of the previous generation are powerful in the world. In the heyday of the family of the previous generation, the head of the Yunlou Flying Whale, he single-handedly subdued the sea and controlled the power. He was known as As the emperor of the sea.
And Yunlou City is a war weapon jointly built by thousands of Eastern alchemists who are good at alchemy. Its core center can only be activated under the control of Di Jun.
Otherwise, there is absolutely no way to withstand the black tide of natural disasters that occur once in eighty years in the sea of stars.
Not only did Yunlou Qingshu know nothing about the music of a musician, but because of his thin bloodline, he was unable to gain the emperor's approval, let alone master Yunlou.
But when he killed his father and brother, there were still twenty-five years before the black tide, so it was not an urgent matter.
The most terrible thing is...
"He can't prove he's 'orthodox'!"
Hermes said lightly: "If he cannot be recognized by the emperor, he is not a musician. But his blood is impure, and his hair color is mixed... It is impossible for the nine surnames of Dragon Vein to recognize his status! The nine surnames of Dragon Vein are dignified. The head of the family, being juxtaposed with a bastard, is simply a huge humiliation! If he doesn't get the edict from Cathay, he will have trouble sleeping and eating. As long as his brother, who was seriously injured and escaped, appears from the city again and raises his arms, I'm afraid there will be a response from all over the world immediately. I don't know how many followers Jing will have after winning food. Even the people are spreading rumors: Yunlou Qingshu won the country unjustly and will die at the hands of Master Qingxi in the future... "
He paused and looked at Ye Qingxuan: "What would you do if it were you?"
“…”
Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time and shook his head: "I can't do that kind of thing, let alone how to deal with it."
"Then guess what he did?"
Hermes blinked, pretending not to be hasty. It wasn't until he found that Ye Qingxuan had no reaction at all that he shook his head helplessly and revealed the answer.
"Since I am not an orthodox person, then why not give birth to an orthodox one?"
Hermes said: "Anyway, as long as I can give birth to a pure-blooded child, then the nine surnames of Dragon Vein will have nothing to say, right? Even those guys who are thinking of rebellion can still carry the banner of righteousness, right? So, right? , and he did just that.”
"Did you do that?"
Ye Qingxuan frowned: "What did he do? If he could simply give birth to the blood of a celestial being, not to mention the Yunlou clan, even the nine surnames of Dragon Vein in Cathay would be driven crazy by him."
"you're so dumb."
Hermes shook his head, showing a look of pity: "Have you forgotten? He also has a sister. A sister who has been very good to him since he was a child, like a mother... "
Ye Qingxuan was stunned and felt chills all over his body.
"You mean that bastard, he... he..."
"Well, yes, he raped his sister."
Hermes said calmly: "Then soon, her sister became pregnant. For this child, in order to get a pure-blood child, he spared no expense and spent almost half of the wealth of Yunlou City. From the mother's womb From the beginning, he used a lot of precious secret treasures on the child that would drive even a scepter-level musician crazy. In the end, he got the pure blood he dreamed of, a person whose talent was as powerful as a monster, and who was destined to have a bright future even in the embryo. My child is so gratifying, so gratifying, so congratulating... Hahaha!"
When Hermes told this, it was like telling a joke, and he laughed extremely happily. But Ye Qingxuan couldn't laugh: "You mean, Bai Xi is the one..."
"Bai Xi is that child, but that child is not her."
Hermes shook his head: "Yunlou Qingshu spent all his wealth, which was enough for thousands of people to spend their lives, and got a child who was loved by the gods. At the same time, because of his beastly behavior, the child was cursed. "
"What's the meaning?"
"Two talents."
He raised two fingers, his eyes pitiful and cold: "That child has two talents at the same time, and they are absolutely incompatible, two talents that are as powerful as fire and water. 'Taiyi' and 'Zhao**'. These two Do you understand what talent means?"
Ye Qingxuan was stunned.
How could he not understand? In countless ancient books about the East, he had already seen countless surprisingly powerful talents. Not to mention the "Ladder of Heaven", which in his opinion can only be done with more and less, Taiyi and Zhao** are at the top of all talents.
One is as bright as the sun, governing the ether and forbidding all the sounds of evil spirits and heretics.
As long as the musician plays, no melody or movement can override it. He is the "emperor" of talent, the ruler of all movements. As long as it's there, no musician can resist.
One is as violent as fire, setting off the sound of chaos. Wherever it passes, all music theory will be completely out of control. Under the shock of that violence and madness, it will merge into it and turn into a symphony of destruction.
This is the "devil" of talent, the destroyer of all music. Wherever it passes, not a single tile is left behind, and even the host will be devoured.
One will be lucky.
One is very dangerous.
And when these two talents appear in a baby's body at the same time, the baby will become their battlefield. Not only the child, but also his mother and everything around him will be involved in the war between the two. among.
"If there is a God, this is God's curse on Yunlou Qingshu."
Hermes said: "He wanted a child, and God gave him an incomparable child. Unfortunately, this child was destined not to be born and would die in the mother's body. Therefore, Yunlou Qingshu had no choice but to For his great cause of Yunlou, he can only turn... one child into two."
"two?"
Ye Qingxuan was stunned: "How is this possible?"
"Why isn't it possible?"
Hermes asked back: "Is it difficult for a chanter to make an embryo of a baby? It's just a matter of replacing the petri dish with her mother's uterus." Yunlou Qingshu found the best chanter to perform the operation, The child was split into two from the embryonic stage. The two babies inherited two different talents, and obtained Taiyi and Zhao** respectively. The whole plan has no shortcomings except that the pregnant person will suffer. , To be honest, I kind of admire Yunlou Qingshu. If he were a musician, he would definitely be as talented as you."
Ye Qingxuan frowned: "Being compared to this kind of thing makes me feel sick."
Hermes shrugged: "In any case, ten months later, Yunlou Qingshu successfully obtained a perfect finished product and a defective product, a pair of twin daughters. Their mother named them, first The successful child born was my sister, named Yunlou Chaoyue, and the failed child born later was named..."
"—Yunlou Bai Xi."
Ye Qingxuan gritted his teeth and made a sound.
"That's right."
Hermes shrugged: "Relying on Yunlou Chaoyue, he successfully obtained the edict of Cathay and proved his status.
All his glory was pinned on Yunlou Chaoyue, so she received the best education since she was a child and used her genius to give back to the father who raised her. She was an out-and-out princess.
The other child who inherited the disease was not so lucky.
Although the 'recruitment' is extremely powerful, it is an unmitigated ominous sign. With this talent that is almost called a curse, no one thought that she would survive to adulthood. In fact, if her mother had not resisted with death, Yunlou Baixi would have drowned when she was just born.
And your cousin, who grew up with her mother in a cold palace, has become increasingly unlovable. Until finally, I ran away from home...
In fact, if I were Yunlou Qingshu, I would be a little relieved: This unsightly piece of trash is finally gone. Let’s go, let’s go. It’s best to die outside. Anyway, there is only one princess in Yunlou City.
But anyway, if you are going to die, you might as well use the waste, get it back, and marry it off as a political bargaining chip.
You know what happened next.
Because of your interference, Miss Yunlou Bai Xi, who was supposed to be packaged and tied with a bow as a gift to Prince Angel, has since become Bai Xi and your cheap cousin. "
Ye Qingxuan was silent and did not speak.
"However, I guess Yunlou Qingshu must be very grateful to you now. Thank you for intervening and saving Bai Xi from Yunlou Qingxi's men. I am also glad that Yunlou Bai Xi can survive in good health."
Hermes's smile became weird and mocking: "Especially when he found out after Yunlou Chaoyue came of age that he could not get the recognition of 'Emperor Jun' with Yunlou Chaoyue alone."
"Chaoyue and Baixi are one person... The Yunlou clan's artifact 'Di Jun' will only recognize the two of them. It must be two. One less will not work! Without one, he will not be able to awaken Di Jun and control him." The center of Yunlou will not be able to resist the black tide of natural disasters two years later. The glory and power he has pursued throughout his life, and his Yunlou Kingdom, will be ruined by the power of natural disasters. If I were Yunlou Qingshu, I would definitely thank God now and give You burned several pillars of high-quality incense and set up a memorial tablet for you. Ye Qingxuan, you are really a good person, an out-and-out good person, a hero who saved Yunlou City from collapse."
Ye Qingxuan finally realized: "Does he want to take Bai Xi back and become his puppet to control Emperor Jun?"
"It's more than that now."
Hermes smiled: "If he can get a promising son-in-law, the future Minister of Angelus, he will definitely smile from ear to ear."
"Why does he think Bai Xi will be obedient?"
"Have you forgotten what I said?"
Hermes took out a handful of nuts from under the cabinet. Thinking that he was still losing weight, he couldn't help but sigh and stuffed the nuts back.
"Chaoyue and Bai Xi are originally the same person. They are twins from the same origin, and their connection with each other is beyond ordinary people's imagination. As long as he controls Chaoyue, can Bai Xi escape? I use a similar method You can think of more than ten things with your toes, don’t you understand?”
“…”
Ye Qingxuan was silent, lost in thought, but his mind was in chaos. He couldn't find any solution at all.
But after a long time, he suddenly smiled and felt relieved.
When he raised his head to look at Hermes, Ye Qingxuan's eyes became subtle.
"Tsk!"
Hermes shook his head unhappily: "It's troublesome to deal with a brat like you, and it will be revealed at the first moment. I want to hang you even if I can't hang you, and it will be a big loss for me."
"You said so much just because you want me to beg you to cut off this relationship, right?"
Ye Qingxuan asked: "Boss, you are Bai Xi's teacher after all. Just come to the Holy City without telling her and avoid seeing her. You can't just die without saving her, right?"
"I came to the Holy City just to fulfill a promise made by a friend."
Hermes was dissatisfied: "Although I am Bai Xi's teacher, but we have a fair deal, okay? I have never been in debt or left an overnight account in my life. If the deal of accepting her as a student is calculated carefully, she It’s a lot of money! Moreover, I gave her the clock shop in Avalon, what do you think of me as a teacher? Take out the coffin book and give it to her as a dowry?”
"You want me to beg you?"
Ye Qingxuan looked at him with a confident expression.
Hermes rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Please."
"I beg you."
Ye Qingxuan spoke without shame.
"Begging for help in vain is not sincere. Kneel down before asking."
"good."
Ye Qingxuan did not hesitate. He stood up and was about to kneel down. The whole movement was crisp and smooth, like a tiger landing on the ground. The momentum was extraordinary, but it shocked Hermes:
"Damn it, your shame, Ye Qingxuan! Your dignity! Kneeling down for a woman, Ye Lanzhou was so angry that he crawled out of the coffin!"
"It's none of his business if I kneel down."
Ye Qingxuan looked at Hermes, still looking like he was about to kneel: "Boss, do you want to kowtow? How many?"
"Sit down!"
Hermes had no choice but to say, "You are with your bastard senior brother, and you have not learned anything about his talents, but you have shamelessly learned them!"
"So you agree?"
Ye Qingxuan looked at him eagerly: "What's the solution?"
"If I didn't worry about it until now like you, it would be too late already!"
Hermes snorted from his nostrils: "My agreement with Bai Xi is that if she becomes my student, I will give him freedom. I solved this problem half a year ago. She is now a unique double in the world. Heart Musician, my unique inheritor, in addition to the music theory system, there is also a parallel alchemical matrix in his body."
Ye Qingxuan frowned: "Is a set of alchemy matrix enough?"
"Do you think the alchemy matrix is just a jelly bean? Just give me as many as you want?"
Hermes' eyes turned contemptuous: "She is not the same as me before. It's enough to have a set in her body. Besides, that set of chain matrices is a masterpiece made by me based on the music theory of 'Ladder to Heaven'. It is not inferior to any other." It's an artifact that exists in the world. As long as that set of chains is there, she can control the moves. The connection between her and Yunlou Chaoyue has been cut off by me a long time ago. Yunlou Qingshu can't do anything to her, don't worry .”
He paused and sighed: "The more I talked, the more I felt I was indebted. Others accept disciples as filial sons and virtuous sons, but I accepted a student. Not only did I not feel sorry for the teacher, but I also used a set of facades and a magical weapon..."
Hearing what he said, Ye Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but patted Hermes on the shoulder: "Don't worry, after a hundred years, Bai Xi will burn paper for you every year."
"Pooh!"
Hermes spat: "You are the seventh person who has the confidence to say this to me. The grass on the graves of the six people in front of you is taller than you!"
Ye Qingxuan smiled and said nothing.
"Also, don't think that everything will be fine after I cut off the contact for you."
Hermes glanced at him: "Yunlou Qingshu has been hooking up with the Holy See Yixin monks for the past two days, almost having an affair. For the sake of his Yunlou great cause, I don't know what he is planning. Maybe there are other means."
"When the Winter Dusk Festival is over, I will take Bai Xi back to Avalon."
Ye Qingxuan said: "When we get to Avalon, I don't believe Yunlou Qingshu can stir up any trouble."
"What you have in mind is a good idea."
Hermes glanced at Ye Qingxuan with a half-smile: "I'm decisive, I hope you won't continue to avoid your thoughts."
Ye Qingxuan was silent.
After Hermes finished speaking, he didn't bother to pay attention to him and waved for him to leave quickly.
But before leaving, he took something from the cabinet and threw it over. Ye Qingxuan caught it casually and froze on the spot.
"This is something a little girl asked me to give you."
Hermes looked at his astonished look and laughed strangely: "Remember to keep it close to you. After all, it is a piece of affection from someone else."
Ye Qingxuan was silent. He lowered his head and looked at the little thing in his palm.
It was a little doll made of weeds, with strange facial features smeared with ink. It looked like it was meant to be a girl, but it wasn't done well.
It was young and rough, but it made Ye Qingxuan feel like he was struck by thunder.
"Elsa...she is still alive?"
He looked at Hermes: "Is she really related to those winged people?"
"Ha, who knows."
Hermes whistled and pointed to the door: "It's closed. Guest, please come early~ Remember to come back in two days. The boss has something good for you."
He shook the notebook in his hand seriously.
Ye Qingxuan looked at the doll in his hand blankly, then put it into his arms after a long time, turned and left.
In the shop, Hermes was carrying a feather duster, looking at Ye Qingxuan's retreating figure outside the window, and couldn't help but whistle.
"Sure enough, the word love is the most difficult to understand in the world... It's difficult to understand! But it can't be as confusing as you."
He gloated and laughed strangely: "Not only did you mess up the solution, you little bastard also went to the princess to solve it! Forget about Bai Xi, the little princess of Yunlou and the second princess of Angel, even the daughter of Romulus Emperor, you dare to mess around... Hey hey hey, untie yourself, untie yourself, right?"
In the silence, no one answered.
Maybe this problem really has no solution.
