"Xiao Xiao is a member of the Demon Clan, and he is the purest kind. This is a definite fact."
Qiu Zizai's answer was like thunder exploding in Bai Gu's ears, shaking him out of his wits.
Bai Gu sat on the armchair with dull eyes, holding the armrests on both sides tightly with both hands to barely maintain his sitting posture.
He just wanted to know if Jiang Fengmian was from the demon clan, so that he could deduce Bai Xiaoxiao's general identity. Even if Jiang Fengmian said that he and Bai Xiaoxiao were of the same race, Bai Gu would still have a glimmer of hope.
What if Bai Xiaoxiao is not a demon?
What if Bai Xiaoxiao's bloodline mutates and he becomes a demon but does not have demonic blood?
What if Jiang Fengmian and the others made a mistake?
But Qiu Zizai's erroneous answer directly tore apart Bai Gu's last hope and fantasy, and pressed him hard against the cruelest truth, the one he least wanted to see.
Xiaoxiao is a demon...how is it possible...how can she be...
Bai Gu's mind was blank now. He was at a loss. He didn't know what to do or what to say. He just sat blankly on the armchair, his face was pale and his eyes were dull.
Qiu Zizai was not surprised when he saw Bai Gu's current appearance, because it was expected.
If Bai Gu didn't look like this, Qiu Zizai would think that Bai Gu was crazy.
If a person who is deeply affectionate hears that something has happened to his loved ones, if his first reaction is not to be blank-minded and sluggish, then he is definitely not a normal person anymore.
When encountering changes, those who can respond immediately are the Taoist tools that recognize the master and the magic circle that protects the body.
Qiu Zizai felt relieved about Bai Gu's appearance.
If Bai Gu behaves too calmly, Qiu Zizai will be worried that Bai Gu will lose his mind and do something stupid, such as throwing an egg against a stone or destroying both the jade and the stone, and then things will go wrong.
So Qiu Zizai was very relaxed and happy now. He picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a full glass of wine, then tasted it slowly.
Tsk, it tastes so good!
Qiu Zizai just drank one cup after another, drinking to himself with the remaining dishes on the table, and drank happily.
Bai Gu, on the other hand, was sitting there blankly, with a dull expression, like a sculpture.
Just when Qiu Zizai was about to finish the second bottle of wine, Bai Gu suddenly trembled, as if he had regained consciousness. He looked at Qiu Zizai with excitement and expectation, his voice was weak but urgent, "Taoist Qiu, you……"
"Hey, stop it!" Qiu Zizai quickly raised his hand to interrupt Bai Gu's words, and stared at Bai Gu, "Let Pindao guess, what fantastic idea has your kid come up with now? Do you want to ask Pindao, or do you want to ask Pindao for help? Is it Mr. Wu, or even wants to ask the one on the old snow peak to help Xiaoxiao hide the secret, seal her bloodline, and prevent the demonic blood in her body from awakening and the demonic nature to appear?"
After roughly guessing what he was thinking, Bai Gu nodded without hesitation.
"As for your idea, Pindao will tell you first, we will not take action, including the man on Gu Xuefeng." Qiu Zizai smiled contemptuously, "Because it is not necessary."
Bai Gu grabbed the armrest with both hands and asked unwillingly: "Why?"
Qiu Zizai sneered, "Why else? Xiao Baigu, aren't you usually very smart? Why are you so stupid now? Do you think Jiang Fengmian and those people are useless people who only know how to eat and shit? Or are they behind him? Are all the demons just ordinary people on the same level as him? Are you thinking too much! Even if we all attack together, they will still try their best to use all their connections to bring Xiaoxiao back to the clan, unlock the seal, and activate Her bloodline, and then let her embark on the path of spiritual practice at all costs and pile her up into a tall building!"
"Why? Xiaoxiao is still so young and a girl. She shouldn't have to endure this!"
"Xiao Baigu, have you ever heard of ancestral blood?" Qiu Zizai suddenly changed the topic and his expression became serious.
Bai Gu looked confused, but felt a little uneasy in his heart, "Ancestral blood? What is that?"
"It is an extremely mysterious and extremely powerful bloodline. The founder of every race is an extremely powerful boss, and he is the most powerful representative in terms of strength and bloodline. But when he gives birth to an heir , or the offspring will reproduce, and the offspring will drink water, eat, reproduce, and take the treasures of nature, materials, and elixirs, all of which will dilute and confuse the blood of the race to a certain extent." Seeing that Bai Gu still looked puzzled, Qiu Zizai had no choice but to Going into more detail, "When the founder of the mountain reproduces his children, this generation will definitely dilute the blood. Because he is sure that he can only find a foreign woman to marry. In this way, the blood will be diluted by half, and the offspring will have the same heirs. Reason. Drinking water to dilute your blood vessels, eating and taking medicine to muddy your blood vessels may sound absurd, but it does happen. Although the effect is minimal, this kind of thing accumulates over time and adds up. You go to the same place every day If you throw a grain of sand in one place, you may not feel anything in a day or two, but what about thousands of years? A drop of water penetrates a stone, an inch accumulates, and water forms an abyss. You should all understand these principles, right? It’s just such a process."
"So? What does this have to do with Xiaoxiao?" Bai Gu finally took a breath, and his face recovered a little. He was no longer as pale as before, but he still looked weak.
Qiu Zizai rubbed his fingers and said slowly: "This involves their demon clan, or some secrets of Jiang Fengmian's demon clan."
"a meal."
"Xiao Bai Gu is such a cheerful person!" Qiu Zizai gave Bai Gu a thumbs up and smiled, "Actually, the demon race is just a general term, and there are many branch races under it. If nothing else, Huang Nianyu and Huang Dajianxian have heard of it Right? The legendary story of cutting open the sea with three swords and opening up an undersea palace, Pindao, I believe you have not heard of it in Ant Hall, and it has also been mentioned in some folklore."
Bai Gu was stunned, "Huang Da Sword Immortal is also from the demon clan? Isn't he a good person?"
"Who told you that the demons are all bad people?" Qiu Zizai rolled his eyes helplessly, "In other words, do you really think that the human race is all good people and there are no villains who are murderous, cruel and evil? Anyone and anything We cannot look at it with one-sided and inertial thinking, and take it for granted to judge whether their character is good or bad. Some people seem to be golden on the outside, but in fact they are corrupt. Some people are ugly on the outside, but upright and kind on the inside. Although the demons are brutal and brutal, there are still some among them. Good people exist. You can't always look at people and things with a discriminatory eye. This will chill the hearts of many good people and miss many beautiful scenery. Do you understand, Xiaobaigu?"
"I understand, except you." Bai Gu nodded.
Qiu Zizai said sadly: "Oh my, the dog bit Lu Dongbin, you don't know a good heart! I can't survive this day!"
"Let's get down to business!"
Qiu Zizai curled his lips and continued reluctantly: "Huang Dajianxian is one of the big clans in the demon clan, a member of the Qiu Xue clan. People of this clan are born with fire veins, but they are born in a land of ice and snow. They want to live. You have to wash away the fire veins all over your body and transform into a body of ice and snow. The process is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will..."
"Hey! We went astray!" Bai Gu frowned, a little dissatisfied.
"This is related, okay!" Qiu Zizai retorted angrily, but returned to the topic, "The demon clan that Jiang Fengmian belongs to is called the Shanggu Clan, and it is also one of the major clans in the demon clan. The Shanggu Clan also has a The problem is that when a certain time comes, they have to change their bones.”
In order not to irritate Bai Gu so much, Qiu Zizai deliberately did not mention Bai Xiaoxiao, only Jiang Fengmian.
"Replace the bones? Replace the whole body?" Bai Gu was shocked.
Qiu Zizai nodded, "Yes, all over the body. But it's not the kind of bone replacement that is commonly understood. It uses secret methods and secret medicine to grow another set of bones in the body, and then separates the old bones from the new ones. After being sloughed out of the body, the new bones become the main bones. This is because the ancestors of the Shang Bone Tribe were punished by a curse, and for generations, their ancestors had to suffer the pain of bone pain caused by knives, axes, and insect bites. Moreover, this curse not only Physically torturing the victim will devour the victim's spiritual power and reduce his or her cultivation level. If passed from one person to a hundred, this curse will not only reduce the individual's strength, but also exploit the entire race layer by layer until it is Falling into the abyss of destruction! As a result, the Shanggu Clan’s strength has been greatly reduced, and they are almost falling out of the ranks of the great clans.”
Qiu Zizai took a sip of wine and moistened his throat, "It wasn't until a peerless genius emerged from the Shanggu Clan, who joined forces with the Medicine Sage at that time, and worked hard for many years, that he created the secret method and secret medicine to control the Tao. The curse of the Maggot Tarsus barely solved the Shanggu Clan’s serious trouble and stopped the Shanggu Clan’s decline.”
Qiu Zizai chuckled, "It's just that the Sword Bone Clan has continued to this day, and its bloodline has been diluted and muddied to the point where it can be said that not even one of the tens of billions remains. Coupled with the influence of the curse, although the Shang Bone Clan has stopped its decline, it still wants to There is no way to start the revival. But God seems to have favored the Shanggu Clan. When the last leader of the Shanggu Clan was shedding his bones, a stone accidentally fell into the secret medicine, which actually made his blood a little purer. , the strength skyrocketed. After the continuous efforts of the Shanggu Clan, it was finally confirmed that the stone could actually cleanse the blood, purify the blood, and even hope to return to the ancestors, allowing the ancestral blood to return to the world. By then, the rise of the Shanggu Clan will be unstoppable. Xiaobai, you are alone Can you guess, what’s the name of that stone?”
Bai Gu's eyes narrowed, "Looking at the sea stone."
"Correct answer! It's the Wanghai Stone! But there's no reward." Qiu Zizai raised his eyebrows, then smiled again, "It's just that the Shanggu tribe's hopes for the Wanghai Stone are as great as their disappointment. After hundreds of years Later, they discovered that the effect of Wanghai Stone was actually very little. It was impossible to restore the ancestral blood. Even if it could be restored to one ten thousandth, it would take millions of years of accumulation before it could appear. But it is also possible that they His bloodline has become as thin as water, so even if the Wanghai Stone has a miraculous effect, it will not have much effect. Of course, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still flesh. Even if the effect of the Wanghai Stone is minimal, the Shanggu tribe is unwilling to give up this promising path to rise. Use it. Until the last leader of the Shanggu Clan appears."
Qiu Zizai paused, and then said seriously: "When he was shedding his bones, he actually awakened a trace of ancestral blood! Although there was only a trace, it also gave the entire Skeleton Clan hope to rise. It's just that the forest is big, so what? There are all kinds of birds. There was a guy who was jealous of the last Sword Bone Clan leader. He actually collaborated with the enemy and designed to trap and kill the previous Shang Bone Clan leader, directly ruining the Shang Bone Clan’s hope of finally appearing. Of course, that traitor was naturally They didn't dare to return to their clan, so they went directly to foreign tribes to become guest officials. They prospered and were very happy. However, due to their own strength and the fact that the other party was a family friend of another super power, they were late. I don’t dare to take action against that traitor, so this old thing will just end like this.”
"So what you said has anything to do with Mr. Jiang's desire to take Xiaoxiao back?" Bai Gu felt as if a big stone had been pressed in his heart at this moment, so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
He had an ominous premonition.
Qiu Zizai looked at Bai Gu with a strange look, as if he was looking at a fool, "Pindao has said so much, you still don't understand?"
"I don't know much, so I don't know." Bai Gu insisted firmly.
Qiu Zizai chuckled and said, "Is it because I don't know, or because I don't want to give up?"
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, let it go. Why bother!" Bai Gu was upset and glanced at Qiu Zizai coldly.
Qiu Zizai crossed his fingers, rolled over in a circle, and stretched, "I just said that the last leader of the Shang Bone Clan awakened a trace of ancestral blood, which was the hope for the rise of the Shang Bone Clan. And this hope followed that incident The trap was destroyed, so guess what method the Shanggu tribe will use to regain this glimmer of hope? Or, in other words, continue this glimmer of hope and rekindle this glimmer of hope?"
