When Baili Shu woke up, he smelled a faint fragrance of sandalwood.
Smelling this woody fragrance known for calming the mind and soul, Baili Shu had some guesses about where he was. He got up and looked around the room. There are blue water cloud patterns everywhere in the small room, which is exactly the same as the embroidery on the man's robe seen on the third floor of the library.
Presumably the water cloud pattern on the man's clothes is not an ordinary embroidery.
As expected, those water cloud patterns are the rune array used to suppress that person.
Baili Shu flicked his sleeves.
He knew who that man was.
There are many elders in Jiuxuanmen, but in the past few days, when Bai Lishu was flipping through the records of the sect, he discovered that hundreds of years ago, the elders of Jiuxuanmen had a bloody battle with a powerful and evil man. damage. In the end, it was the head of the Jiuxuanmen who suppressed that powerful man in the cold veins of the Jiuxuanmen.
In the end, the whereabouts of that person is unknown, and there is not much description in the ancient scroll, it seems that there are other secrets in it.
Fifty years later, there is a simple sentence in the ninth volume of Zongmen Chronicles·Sacrifice Service: "God bless three years, the unruly people sneaked into the library and were burned by the fire of karma."
However, before this, according to the brief introduction of the sect personnel that Bailishu had read, no elder had ever refined karma fire, let alone any elder could use karma fire to burn people in Zangshu Pavilion without harming the ancients. roll. The only person who has this kind of ability is worthy of the name, and that is the powerful person who was suppressed by the head of the Jiuxuanmen in the cold veins of the underground, and who was famous hundreds of years ago——
Wen Ren Nine.
As an immortal cultivator, when he crossed the heart calamity, there was a test of discoloration. Everyone knows the horror of karma. Throughout the ages, there are only a few people who can refine karma for their own use. Wen Renjiu is one of the best. .
but…
Bailishu's eyes flicked across the water cloud patterns and the Xingshen wood furniture in the room.
Karma, it seems that it is not so easy to control. Wen Renjiu's strange behavior in the past and his current restlessness may be inseparable from the fire of karma.
"woke up."
Just as Bailishu finished looking around the room, Wenrenjiu came in from the outside. The near-miss didn't seem like a big deal to him, and he still looked the same as when he first saw him.
"The disciple has met the elder."
Bailishu looked away, and saluted Wenrenjiu according to the etiquette.
Seeing that the young man looked calm and saluted as usual, Wen Renjiu frowned slightly. When Baili Shu was in a coma, he had investigated Baili Shu's condition, and knew how bad the situation in this person's body was at the moment. But Bailishu's behavior and speech now, but people can't see any traces of suffering from illness.
This kind of heart...
Terrible indeed.
"I am not an elder of Jiuxuanmen, so there is no need to salute to me."
The amazement at Baili Shu's heart flashed in his mind, Wen Renjiu turned sideways and did not accept Baili Shu's courtesy.
Baili Shu didn't show any surprise, as if it was a very normal thing for the elders of Jiuxuanmen to appear in the important place of Jiuxuanmen. He straightened up and looked at Wenren Jiu calmly: "In this case... I don't know what decision senior will make?"
"Decision? What do you mean?"
The flame between Wenren Jiu's eyebrows jumped, and the color became brighter.
"My life is so miserable, I don't know when my soul will return to the west, and I dare not implicate my seniors." Baili Shu said unhurriedly, with a particularly calm tone, as if the person he said could die at any time was not himself.
Wen Renjiu's expression changed slightly. This sentence was tantamount to showing that Baili Shu already knew that he had committed murderous intentions—but Baili Shu was clearly still in a coma at that time.
"Seniors don't need to be alarmed."
Baili Shu smiled slowly, and this smile carried the shadow of the young master Baili in the capital—exquisite and distant, restrained and decent, showing no emotion at all.
"Baili can still stand here and talk to you well, thank you senior for your help."
Wen Renjiu withdrew the gentle smile on his face, staring at the tall and straight young man standing in front of him.
The young man said the words of thanks, but the smile on his face did not reach his eyes, three points elegant and seven points alienated. It is clear that the two people's cultivation bases want to go far, but the young man faintly has the upper hand. Bailishu's tone of voice was not in a hurry, but invisibly it gave people a pressure not to act rashly.
a hunch.
— If he made a move at this moment, even if he could kill Bailishu, he would definitely not feel better.
Wenren stared fixedly at the smiling young man for a long time, then sighed softly: "The Nine Profound Gates have produced evil spirits from generation to generation."
He didn't think too much about how Bailishu knew that he had once wanted to kill him, and why it gave him the feeling that if he did it, he wouldn't get any benefit. This young man who entered Zangshu Pavilion as a master of Jiuxuanmen is far more powerful than others imagined.
"I have already solved the problem of qi disorder in your body." Wen Renjiu took out a delicate and small jade box from the ring and handed it to him. "As for the others, I can't do anything. Maybe this thing is useful to you Some benefits."
"Thank you, senior."
Baili Shu did not refuse.
Both of them had a tacit understanding. From the beginning to the end, no one mentioned the cause of this incident—the inscription on the Mochen wood.
When leaving, Bailishu heard Wenrenjiu's moderate voice from behind: "My surname is Wenren, and my single name is Jiu. You can just call me by my name next time."
Baili Shu paused slightly.
"My surname is Baili, and my single name is... Shu."
Before stepping out of the door, he said softly.
—From now on, your surname is Baili, but your single name is Shu.
——Baili Yimai is entrusted to you.
— with them...
Standing outside Zangshu Pavilion, the sun was shining all over Bailishu. He raised his head and closed his eyes. Only he knew what emotion was in his heart.
A hundred miles, a hundred miles.
Chaoge Baili, Muzhi Dongling.
In this world of cultivating immortals, there is no second Dongling Baili.
