The pale golden sunlight is mottled, and the fragments of the bronze mirror quietly left among the carpets reflect the face of the eldest princess into countless broken silhouettes. The eldest princess's rusty crimson skirt is spread on the ground.
She raised her eyes to look at Balian, her eyes reflecting the light of dust slowly swimming in the air.
At this moment, all her emotions were depressed, and her deep eyes seemed to be covered by mist.
Balian walked over, knelt down in front of her, and gently rubbed the scar on the side of her neck with his cold fingertips, his expression unclear.
"There have always been people who have placed their freedom and dreams in the vast expanse of blue waves, but how many people can truly get what they want."
The eldest princess waved away his hand and said coldly: "Freedom can be gained either through struggle or through complete enlightenment.
Pursuing the dream of the great road is nothing but an illusory and misty mirror, so don't act like you know me very well and act coy here! "
"Yeah?"
Balian retracted his palm, wiped away a little blood on his lips with his fingers, and said calmly: "But the consciousness hidden in your blood cannot tell lies. Six hundred years ago, there were still a hundred years before the end of the war between good and evil.
At this time, in the Central Plains Righteous Way, the Immortal Sect forces are becoming increasingly powerful. They are no longer unilaterally suppressed by the Langya Demon Sect. Gray forces like Dark City are helping in troubled times.
But the general situation of the world is about to change, and the dark city has become a hidden danger and cancer in the hearts of the immortals. The Qin State relies on the Tianxi Sword Sect. As the most powerful female swordsman in the Qin State, you fight side by side with the Tianxi Sword Master. How could I not be aware of your identity? "
The eldest princess had a look of disgust on her face and said: "The ability of the corpse demons to eat blood is really a bad thing."
He can actually peek into the human body's memory by sucking blood.
Balian asked: "Perhaps, have you ever thought about being honest with him about your identity?"
The eldest princess's eyes were full of sarcasm: "You think that I have known him since childhood and our affection is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
I have become the master of the gray area of the dark city. Will he be grateful and extra tolerant because I am dedicated to ending the war and supporting Tianxi? "
"But do you know that there is a saying in the world: if you accumulate good deeds for three years, few will know it; if you do evil for one day, it will be heard all over the world.
In his eyes, no matter what the original intention is, evil is evil, and there is not so much reason to speak of.
Ending the war and helping the world are just some high-sounding reasons for him. If he can really make the good and evil in the world half based on his character and half based on reality, then he is no longer Bailiyu. "
"If he treats his married wife like this, who am I in his eyes?
You are right, being honest and honest is indeed an easy way.
But he is not an ordinary person, he is the Lord of the Celestial Seal and the Lord of Ten Thousand Swords. For a person like me who is in the quagmire of darkness, I can only test first and then have a heart-to-heart relationship with him. "
The eldest princess laughed at herself and said: "I once asked him, if I go astray for the sake of common people, how will he treat me?"
Bailian narrowed his eyes slightly and did not answer.
The eldest princess folded her arms and leaned lazily on the edge of the dressing table. There was a bit of cold interest in her eyes, and a wisp of chill slowly spread between her lips and teeth.
"He said that mortals can think about their feelings, but the master of the Tianxi Sword cannot. Those who do evil are inherently evil and will be punished on sight. He will hold the sword and abide by the way of the sword to save me from the wind and frost on my body and the blood in my hands."
At the end of her speech, there was a hint of suffocation in her voice: "Young gentleman from a famous family in the Immortal Sect, tell me why you are so incomprehensible to others?
The world is a snare, and I am a slaughterer on the battlefield. I created a dark city and committed countless killings. Are his hands clean?
Just because I live in the darkness and he lives in the light, killing me is evil, and killing him is a way of salvation? In this case, why don't I commit evil to the end and turn the world upside down? "
"So, that spiritual root..."
The eldest princess smiled coldly and said: "The spiritual roots that Ying Ji sacrificed not only saved Bailiyu's life, but also solved my dilemma. Bailiyu thought that I sacrificed my spiritual roots to save my life. He, an ordinary woman who has lost her cultivation, certainly cannot be the master of the dark city behind the scenes.
In addition, I not only dispelled the suspicion in his heart, but also won his guilt and attention. The dark city forces that I created in the first three hundred years can be regarded as taking back with profits in the next six hundred years. deficit……"
She said it was not a loss, but there was a dark color in her eyes.
If she really said things so freely and clearly, then where did the forbidden curse around her neck come from?
Balian was silent for a while and said: "Your talent in swordsmanship is not weaker than his. You clearly know what a strong-tempered person he is. You did not choose to fight side by side, but chose a path that ran counter to him. Don’t you think some swords are eccentric?”
The eldest princess raised her eyes to look at him again, her smiling expression showing a bit of seriousness and persistence: "If it were you, how would you choose?"
Balian was speechless.
The eldest princess smiled again, and the smile on her face was neither warm nor melancholy: "What do you think is the suffering of war? Those chosen people like Bailiyu who are outstanding in ability and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the common people are taking the lead in the war. Magnificent and tragic?
But I don't think so. Bailiyu, as the son of Heavenly Dao and the co-master of swordsmanship in the world, has the shining hope of 'the hope of the common people', and he has become the most unsacrificial person in the world.
How ironic that the hero who protects the common people has become the one who openly enjoys the blessings of the common people.
During the war, bones were covered with white bones, corpses piled up in mountains, the war between monks shook mountains and seas, and the most damned ones were the common people at the bottom.
According to historical records, Bailiyu caused the soul to burn in the Tianshan Mountains, ending thousands of years of oppression and invasion by demonic cultivators in all the countries around the world, and he was the savior of the world.
But in those thousands of years of gloomy history, although human beings could not live and work in peace and contentment, but with the war, the number of mortal deaths in those five hundred years was a hundred times that of those thousands of years combined!
Mountains of corpses, starvation and death everywhere, hell on earth, nothing more than that. "
"While Baili Yu ended the prosperous rule of Langya Demon Sect, he also single-handedly caused chaos in the world."
"In troubled times, what people need is never a hero, but a hero."
The eldest princess smiled lightly and said: "My hero, where can I talk about being upright? If I were as naive as him and insisted on 'the gentleman's thoughts are as clear as the sky and the sun is white, no one should know', how could such a war last a hundred years?" can be ended.
He is upright, follows the rules, and is very chic as a righteous man who does not play tricks and tricks, and he lives up to the name of the jade tree among immortals.
But what he faced was a battlefield with tens of thousands of demon cultivators, not a martial arts competition.
He relied on his gentlemanly demeanor and was obsessed with confronting people head-on, without knowing how to make detours. In the end, the person who suffered was not the righteous immortal leader who held a high position and shouldered the responsibility of the common people, but the ordinary people who lived with the world and lived in the grass.
Without the dirty deeds in the dark city, this kind of war would continue for thousands of years, and the mountains and rivers would be in such devastation. "
Balian sighed: "I didn't know that, as a woman, Her Royal Highness the Princess has such great ambitions."
The eldest princess said calmly: "What I want in my heart is to hold the elephant and let the world go. It will not harm the world, and it will be peaceful and peaceful. The king is in the boat and the people are in the water, and the people are precious and the king is light. This is the path of the great road in my heart, and the world is fair. .”
Hold the elephant, the world will go...
Hearing this, Bailian couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
If he hadn't heard it with his own ears and tasted his blood with his own mouth, who would have known that he was weak on the outside and deceitful on the inside, but he actually had the ambition to rule the country and bring peace to the world as much as a man.
The depression that had accumulated in her heart for many years suddenly burst out. The eldest princess narrowed her eyes and chuckled. She tilted her head slightly and rested her head lazily on her hands. There seemed to be tears shining in the corners of her eyes.
"Everyone says that I am in love with Bailiyu. But from your point of view, how much do you think my admiration for him is true? How much is false?"
Balian lowered his eyes and said, "People's hearts are full of twists and turns, and you can't tell the difference yourself. How can I help you clear up your confusion?"
The eldest princess laughed, her eyes as cold as a cold night: "Yes, people's hearts are the most repetitive and ruthless. Six hundred years ago, Bailiyu tried many times on me. Once it is confirmed that I am the lord of the dark city, I will kill him without regrets!
But in the past hundreds of years, the forces of the Dark City have become complex and spread all over the world, involving countless interests. Such cancers are everywhere, affecting mountains and rivers, but he has no courage to subvert such a Dark City. What do you think? Sarcastic or not? "
Balian asked: "In the past few years, Dark City has done countless evil things, selling human nature, studying forbidden arts, and even using the bodies and souls of many living people as test subjects to study forbidden arts. Is this also your work?"
The eldest princess smiled and nodded at the forbidden curse mark on her neck, and asked instead, "What do you think?"
Balian finally figured out the origin of the Dark City over the past hundreds of years, as well as the causes and consequences.
The original intention of the eldest princess in establishing the Dark City was to strengthen the righteous resources and replenish the supplies and materials on the battlefield. She used very radical methods to cut through the carrion, which can be said to be a quick cut of the mess, pushing hundreds of immortal sects to end the cruel war.
And since then, the countless blood, lives, and crimes sacrificed on the battlefield have all been counted on the Dark City.
As the lord of the dark city, even though the eldest princess Zhao Wenjun's cultivation level is higher than that of Sword Master Yu, she is still unable to defeat Sword Master Yu with a wave of his arms, and hundreds of immortal sects respond in response.
How can one person stand up to the whole world?
Sword Master Yu even has a grudge against the neutral forces that seem both good and evil, the empress of Zhongyou who was born in a deceitful way, and his married wife, let alone the Lord of the Dark City who is full of evil.
In order to protect herself, she took the name of her spiritual root. While dispelling his suspicion, she also gave someone a handle, and one of the river owners in the six rivers in the demon world caught the handle.
During these six hundred years, although she did not lose her spiritual roots, she lost her freedom and original intention, and was controlled by others.
Balian asked: "So you entered the Tianshan Mountains and took the flame marrow just to dissolve the restraints of the forbidden curse on your body?"
"Yes or no, does it matter?"
There was not much anger on the face of the eldest princess. She closed her eyes resignedly, raised her head gently, closed her eyes and sneered:
"I have completely lost. Corpse Demon, let alone Baili Yu, I can't do it. Even in these six realms, there is no place for me anymore."
If she was asked to become a blood descendant living in that sealed dark continent, she would rather die to be freed.
She has been suffering for six hundred years, and she no longer has any extra energy to deal with another, darker and huge abyss.
Baili looked at her quietly for a long time, and saw that she looked like she was more sad than dead. Although he was amused in his heart, he also understood her despair at the moment.
After finally waiting for the Tianshan Mountain to collapse, I took the flame marrow and survived the heart-burning and bone-burning pain of the flame marrow. After six hundred years of struggle and hard work, it was destroyed overnight. Anyone else would collapse. .
"It's easy for my aunt to just want to die, but at least she has to listen to what she has to say."
Bailian picked up a larger bronze mirror fragment from the ground, held it in front of the eldest princess, and said with a chuckle:
“We who are zombie demons can be said to be a single-minded race, and we don’t like to play divisions.
The eyeballs are either completely black or completely red. It has never been said that vampires eat those with half red and half black eyes.
Nowadays, my aunt, you can't be considered a real corpse demon. At most... you can be regarded as a half-demon. "
The eldest princess was stunned, and then snatched the bronze mirror fragment from Bai Lian's hand. She couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes: "What do you mean by this?!"
Bailian raised his eyes and glanced lightly, raised his arms and took out the Qingtuan fruit snacks placed on the table:
"The condition for obtaining descendants through a contract is that you need to drain the opponent's blood first. After completely losing life, you can then feed it to your own blood to replenish it. Corpse demons can only become demons if they become corpses first. You have not yet If it dies, it doesn’t count as a corpse.”
He grabbed the eldest princess's hand, put it between her cheeks, and said: "The blood in your body is fresh, and the temperature is only a little lower than that of ordinary people, but it is definitely not the temperature of a corpse.
Even if you and I make a covenant, you are not really a corpse demon after all. If you don’t believe it..."
With that said, Balian fed the green dumpling fruit into her mouth again: "Try this fruit. If I guess correctly, you should be able to distinguish the five flavors now."
The sweet and fragrant taste of Qingtuan fruit spreads on the tip of the tongue.
The eldest princess's eyes brightened, and she slowly regained hope.
Balian added: "It's just that you will be a little afraid of light and sun in the future, and you will be more uncomfortable in summer, and there will be some faint characteristics of the zombie demon remaining in your body, but with your ability, it will not be difficult to cover up these abnormalities. .”
Unexpectedly, there are twists and turns, and there are twists and turns.
The eldest princess lowered her eyes, but found that she still had the green dumplings he fed in her mouth, and her face looked slightly unnatural.
She grabbed it with her hands, stepped back, lowered her head and took small bites of the glutinous green dough cake, but she no longer wanted to die.
She snorted coldly: "Aunt? When did I allow you to call me that?"
Bailiyu is a member of the royal family, and she is the eldest princess of Qin. If we really talk about their status, she and Bailiyu are cousins. When she was young, she even called Bailiyu her cousin for a few years.
When Balian called her aunt, she seemed humble, but in fact, she didn't have anything wrong with her name.
It's just that now the eldest princess looks at Bailian, but she really doesn't like everything, and she doesn't wait for Bailian's answer.
She snorted again, her eyes cold: "Instead of trying to talk nonsense here, it is better to think about how to leave Baituo Mountain. Tonight, in order to take a bath, I would like to leave Baili Yu.
Tomorrow, you won't be so lucky. Since he has caught your breath nearby, he will definitely not let go of searching this room. "
This Golden Crow Shocking God Formation is indeed a huge trouble.
Under the brilliance of the blazing flames, Balian's flesh and blood will inevitably melt again when he leaves the house, making it difficult to move around, let alone go to Tianshan Mountain to continue his work.
"When will this Golden Crow Shocking God Formation end?"
The eldest princess saw through his mind and sneered: "When this formation is opened, it all depends on the sword master's will. If he doesn't close the formation, no one can close it. This is the formation that the Immortal Zhu Zhan has left since ancient times. Unless the Immortal himself personally When you come to this mountain, you should have the power to destroy this formation, but do you think that the immortals are like carrots in the ground, one for each? Looking at the entire six realms, there are only four immortals."
