Yi Heping found Bailishu behind the main peak.
A young man in a black robe stood in front of a tombstone, holding a longbow wrapped in cloth strips in his hand.
Yi Heping watched his back, and walked forward for a while. Baili Shu had already noticed his coming, but he didn't turn his head or speak.
They were standing in front of the same tombstone in this cemetery. This tombstone looked like it had been around for some years, not as new as the tombstone of He Qingchuan and the others that had just been erected. The name "Shen Ye" is engraved on the tombstone.
Baili Shu lowered his head slightly and looked at the tombstone. He had no expression on his face, but Yi Heping knew that Baili Shu was really sad.
Master, master, being a master is like an elder is like a father, how can a father not know what kind of mood his child is in
The patriarch of the eighteenth Gu clan, the hero of the era, Bailishu is just a child who tends to think too much, and likes to keep his words in his heart.
For a long time, in Yi Heping's eyes, Baili Shu was just that young man sitting on the high platform back then, quiet and sad, quietly burdening himself with a lot of responsibilities, even though he was very tired and suffering, he would not say it.
Such a child is the most headache for the elders, but it also makes the elders feel sad together.
But now, the person who sent the apprentice to the battlefield with his own hands is no longer qualified to call himself "Master".
"I killed him back then, with my own hands."
After standing for an unknown amount of time, Baili Shu suddenly spoke softly.
He looked at the tombstone and remembered the projected plane caused by the interruption of the era.
At that time, he didn't know his name, and he was walking on the ground day after day in a daze. Sometimes he would meet some good people, sometimes he would meet some bad people, and sometimes he would be very powerful. But sometimes I would fall to the ground, curl up and feel the life passing away from my body, and when I woke up again, my mind was completely white and I didn't remember anything.
It was that winter night, when heavy snow fell endlessly, a man in a black robe stepped out of the snow all over the sky, and knelt down on one knee in front of him.
The man named "Shen Ye" found him on a snowy winter night and answered that question for the first time.
From then on he was called Baili Shu.
He began to own a place called "home". He returned to the Baili family, and all the children of the Baili family regarded him as a god, and they followed him loyally. Die without hesitation—as in the age of chaos.
The rootless flower fell to the ground, and he was accepted again by the world.
The days of being the Patriarch of Baili are actually quite happy. He always sits by the window and watches the young disciples coming and going.
Bailishu felt that he should take on the responsibility of being the head of the family.
Those disciples with young flames dancing in their eyes called Patriarch respectfully, treating him like a god, and he would always be responsible for them.
So when he realized that Shen was planning to use the blood of the Baili family to achieve another purpose, Baili Shu killed him without hesitation.
When he saw Shen Ye for the last time, he held a torch and walked into the dungeon of the Baili family alone. In the cold and damp dungeon, the old man with mysterious means sat quietly.
Before meeting Shen Ye, Bai Lishu actually thought about it, could he really kill Shen Ye? Is he really up to it
Shen Ye... was the one who told him who he was in the snow and brought him back to the Baili family.
Can he really do it
Bailishu didn't know it himself, so he walked in the dark passage holding a torch, only feeling that the wind was cold and sad.
—Young master is very hard to deal with all kinds of affairs, since the young master has already made a prison for me, I will not add more troubles for the young master. This is also the only thing the old man can do for the young master now.
The old man lowered his head, did not let him make the final choice that even he didn't know, and ended his own life. It's just that he didn't explain why he wanted to attack the Baili family and why he planned to target the blood of the Baili family.
This question has troubled Bailishu for a long time. It was not until he returned to the Twelve Dynasty Continent and recalled all his memories that Bailishu understood the answer. Shen Ye actually wanted to use the blood of the Baili family as an introduction to bring him back to the land of the Twelve Dynasties.
Although the Baili family in that plane had lost their power as the eighteenth Gu clan, the blood of the eighteenth Gu clan naturally connected them to the land of the Twelve Dynasties.
Shen Ye concealed this matter and ended her own life.
"Why didn't he tell everything?"
Bailishu asked softly.
If Shen Ye was willing to tell him all these things, would things be different
Baili Shu, who asked this question, seemed to have turned back into the boy sitting on the observatory in Tianji Valley.
There are so many worries and sorrows hidden in my heart, but I don't say anything, only occasionally when I am really exhausted, I ask why in a low voice in a place where no one is around.
"Because I feel ashamed." Yi Heping said flatly, "It was supposed to be something that I should undertake, but I have to place my hopes on others time and time again. It is our negligence to let young people set foot on the battlefield."
Bailishu didn't understand why Shen Ye didn't speak out, but Yi Heping did.
For a person like Bailishu who is used to taking responsibility on himself, how should he face that choice? On one side is the Baili family, and on the other side is the war of the Twelve Dynasties from ancient times to the present.
This choice itself is too cruel.
So in the end, Shen Ye concealed everything and ended her own life - in fact, Shen Ye should also be thinking, let Bailishu be the head of the Baili family before all that comes.
But Baili Shu finally returned to the land of the Twelve Dynasties, and he finally handed the black robe to Baili Shu.
Neither he nor Shen Ye can be regarded as any promising adults.
Bailishu didn't talk about this topic anymore, he raised his head slightly, looked at the white clouds passing by in the sky: "Are you going to keep hiding the matter about Lingzhi like this?"
"Things that can't be helped must be concealed." Yi Heping's expression became serious.
Baili Shu stretched out his hand, shook it slightly, as if he had grasped something from the void, and said in a low voice, "It may not be possible to completely hide it."
A mass of refined spiritual energy circulated in Bailishu's slender and pale hands, exuding a faint radiance. The clouds in the sky suddenly swirled rapidly, and the wind blew past, making this quiet place lined with tombstones vaguely dim.
In the meeting not long ago that was related to the life and death of the entire sect, Yi Heping seemed to have revealed all the secrets.
However, this was not the case. Baili Shu's brief sentence asked Yi Heping—perhaps it should be said that it was not just Yi Heping, but the top person in the entire Xianmen—that was tightly sealed.
That is one of the biggest and most fundamental contradictions between the sect and the dynasty.
For a long time, the sect has occupied nearly six percent of the common land to plant spiritual plants. For a long time, in people's cognition, the purpose of those spiritual plants is to refine elixir and feed the disciples with lower cultivation bases of the immortal sect. But in fact, there is no need for so many spiritual plants. If it is only for the disciples to eat, it is not necessary to set up a strict formation to protect each spiritual field.
Lingzhi is actually the real foundation of the sect, and the sect did not hesitate to use various means for this.
Whether it is to support the local noble families of the dynasty, or to strengthen the control of the dynasty and kill all ambitious emperors, it is just to conceal this secret.
Even within the sect, there would never be more than ten people who really knew the meaning of Ling Zhi. If other people had said this sentence, Yi Heping would have drawn his sword by now.
However, the person who spoke out was Baili Shu.
"I'm not the only one who can know this." Baili Shu let go of his hand, and the spiritual energy gathered by him made countless dots of light fly down, "I feel it."
Baili Shu turned his head and looked at Yi Heping calmly.
"Someone is awake."
……………………………………………………………
Gecheng in the northwest of the Qi Qin Dynasty chapter.
Groups of soldiers in armor lined up neatly from under the city gate. The breath of these soldiers was a bit strange—cold and dangerous.
This is no ordinary soldier.
At this time, the Qingming Pagoda in the center of Gecheng had changed from black to golden, and an ancient fluctuation in the dark spread out from the Qingming Pagoda as the center, covering the sky above the entire city.
For ordinary people without cultivation, there is no change, but those who practice will feel the existence of that ancient and obscure power that makes people bow their heads involuntarily. That kind of coercion is not strong, just like the deep water hidden under the ice layer, you can feel its existence, but before the ice layer is completely broken, no one knows how terrible it is.
After the soldiers left the city gate, they went straight to the Lingtian that belonged to the Kyushu Bank.
Since the collapse of Kyushu Bank, this scene has been staged in the land of the Qi Qin Dynasty.
Soldiers in heavy armor with changed auras came out of the city, breaking the formation covering the spiritual fields that once belonged to the Kyushu Bank, acre by acre.
Once the formation was broken, the spiritual plants planted on the spiritual field were quickly burned and removed. This kind of labor was carried out by farmers in the state and county. At the same time, the county guard sent officials to start measuring the cleared fields and re-dividing them according to the dynasty's standards. All participating farmers have been cleaned in the Lingtian, and after re-measurement, they can get the specified number of acres of land according to the population.
This is the most stringent land measurement in history, and it is not that there are unscrupulous local tycoons trying to occupy some land in the process, but the attitude of the dynasty is extremely tough.
Once discovered, the soldiers in armor walked into the homes of the wealthy families on the same day. Some people tried to rely on their own retainers to resist, but in front of these soldiers with cold and dangerous breaths, those retainers raised by the wealthy clans were as if they were hungry. Like a lamb in front of a wolf.
The army in heavy armor silently walked into the house of the wealthy family, and after a short time, the blade came out with a bloody smell.
The heads of those powerful families who tried to occupy the land were hung not far from the city gate that day.
In front of the bleeding head, those with small plans had no choice but to put away their plans.
The person who issued this order was the current emperor of the Qi and Qin Dynasty, a handsome and frail young man famous for his literary talents.
Completely different from the previous impressions of Bai Yiqing, Bai Yiqing's methods at this time are no longer the softness of the past, and they are shockingly tough and cold-blooded, but on the other hand, he does retain a cautious and meticulous side.
The literati who once gathered in the Qi Qin Dynasty for talking about the meaning of poetry no longer concealed it. Xuan paper covered the entire land of the Qi Qin Dynasty like snow in a blink of an eye. The people gathered under the banner of the Qi Qin Dynasty.
The Qi Qin Dynasty headed by the Bai family completely broke with Xianmen.
Mysterious warriors walk back and forth in the city, and people with iron masks appear like ghosts in the darkness of night.
Although the Kyushu Bank was destroyed, not all the disciples and elders of the Kyushu Bank died. Although the actions of the Qi and Qin Dynasty were swift, and although the means and forces of attack were strong, some of the bankers in Kyushu all over the dynasty escaped and survived after getting the news. The Qi and Qin Dynasty sorted out the list of the entire Kyushu bank, and wanted to arrest the escaped Kyushu bank disciples and elders.
Therefore, on the land of the Qi Qin Dynasty, battles continued to break out. These days, people have become accustomed to having warriors with masks and swords fighting desperately with exposed Kyushu bank disciples from time to time.
The merchants of the Qi and Qin Dynasties were the core of the complete reversal of the aura of heaven and earth, but with the change of owners of the Qingming Towers, the aura of heaven and earth in each city was changing at a not fast but unstoppable pace.
Under this kind of suppression, the cultivators of the Kyushu Bank were greatly restrained, and the result of the battle often ended with the death of the remnants of the Kyushu Bank.
The strangulation is going on all the time.
While relentlessly pursuing and killing the remnants of the Kyushu bank, the Qi Qin Dynasty announced the recruitment of immortal cultivators who do not belong to the immortal sect. All the cultivators who joined the Qi Qin Dynasty can get a small bronze talisman. With this bronze talisman, the cultivators will not be suppressed by the changed Qingming Tower.
This group of cultivators who joined the Qi Qin Dynasty were organized into three armies, named "White Feather", "Chi Ling" and "Grey Wing", each with different responsibilities.
Combining cold and bloody methods with meticulous and gentle measures, Bai Yiqing showed his awesome side in front of the world.
At this time, mortals who have no power to restrain their hands reveal their power and terror.
"What a headache."
In a small inn in Gecheng, a fat man dressed as a Cangpu drug dealer squatted on the ground in a very inconspicuous manner, fanning a cattail fan.
Another dry and thin old man sat cross-legged by the window with a cold face.
The fat man glanced at the cold-faced old man, and was upset to see that he still had a dead face. He couldn't help but touched a piece of silver and threw it towards the thin old man.
"Dead face, what are you doing, and you can't practice, so just keep a straight face and meditate."
After the silver was thrown, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then fell straight down.
The thin old man opened his eyes, and gave the fat man a bad look: "Your surname is Chen, your skin is itchy, do you want to make gestures again?"
The fat man laughed "hehe", showing a bit of slyness: "Don't use this to scare me. In this situation, you dare to make gestures and let me take care of you. Be sober, if I wasn't smart this time , you have been burnt to nothing left now."
The thin old man snorted coldly, but really didn't say anything.
These two fat and thin people are the elders of a branch of the Jiuzhou Bank. They survived the sudden difficulties of the Qi and Qin Dynasty a few days ago. At this time, they are changing their appearance and taking a few disciples to disperse and hide in this small town.
The fat elder's surname is Chen, and his full name is Chen Dan, but the elders who know him never call him by his name. Even in the Kyushu bank, this elder Chen is notoriously worthless and timid. He would not go to the hooking thing, and this guy's timidity and worthlessness are directly proportional to his cunning.
Elder Chen's cultivation base is neither high nor low, but he is extraordinarily shrewd and cunning. He is quite good at dancing, and he is good at dealing with people from all walks of life. He can also use some small tricks that are not very popular Very easy.
This time, the skinny old man and some other disciples of the Kyushu Bank survived thanks to his timidity and shrewdness. Elder Chen usually likes to deal with all kinds of people to collect some news. After the incident in Shangdu, the news has not been spread yet. When he came out, he smelled the wrong atmosphere, and quickly shrank his head to hide.
The skinny old man was surnamed Jiang. Elder Jiang and some disciples desperately escaped from the siege of the dynasty. When the people who were about to be hunted and killed caught up with him on the way, Elder Chen, who had been hiding early and observed secretly, hurriedly led him away. gone.
Elder Chen's cultivation level is indeed not high, and he is timid, but there are indeed quite a few methods that can't see the table.
Along the way, Elder Chen concealed his identity, pretended to pay a lot of money to open the way, and once he passed by, he immediately changed his identity, and he used various tricks to threaten the other party, which led this group of people from Dazhou County all the way. Going in the direction of Jiuxuanmen.
This is Elder Jiang's plan. There are too many people in the Qi and Qin Dynasty to kill, and if they stay here, something will happen sooner or later. Moreover, Elder Jiang has a high level of cultivation, and his status in the Kyushu bank is much higher than Elder Chen, so he knows some things better.
During this period of time, Elder Jiang saw all the abnormal changes in the territory of the Qi Qin Dynasty, and vaguely guessed, because those guesses, the specific situation in the territory of the Qi Qin Dynasty must be sent out, Jiuxuanmen is a fairy gate Among the eight sects, the one who is closer and the most powerful, Elder Jiang would rather throw a handful of his old bones at Qi Qin than let someone from the Kyushu bank break out of the blockade.
Elder Chen had nothing to do with this dry and skinny old man, so he squatted on the ground and thought for a long time with a bitter face, and agreed.
Along the way, the group of people kept changing their identities and appearances, and headed northwest without any risk under Elder Chen's cunning tricks.
But the closer to the border of the Qi Qin Dynasty, the more difficult it is to move forward.
The author has something to say: I remember someone asked before, why did little brother Baili kill Shen Ye.
This is the answer.
Ah, making choices is never the hardest thing.
