"What nonsense?"
Vice General Chu was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, do you mean that what Lin Yue said is completely untrustworthy?"
Baili Fengzhi said coldly: "He's just a smart guy. His inference is entirely based on Tu Laodao's murder and silence. But even this starting point is wrong, how can it be true?"
Vice General Chu nodded slightly.
He pondered again and said, "Sir, is it possible that Lin Yue knows the secret that once Mr. Xialie dies, the whole world will know it?"
"impossible."
Baili Fengzhi said softly: "This is a top secret matter. If I didn't need your help to investigate, I wouldn't tell you. Even Xia Lie himself doesn't know what will happen after death, so even if Tu Laodao catches Even if you live with him, there is no way to know this secret."
Lieutenant General Chu was speechless.
Then he asked doubtfully: "My lord, didn't you tell Mr. Xialie?"
"I deliberately concealed it."
Baili Fengzhi narrowed her eyes slightly, "Xia Lie grew up in Naxia Mansion. He was bullied and has a sensitive temper. If he knew about it, once he was controlled by the enemy, he might think about death. It was revenge, so I didn’t tell him.”
Lieutenant General Chu suddenly understood.
In his heart, he secretly speculated, what is the origin of Xia Lie, and will it be known to the whole world after his death?
"But there are no clues now."
Vice General Chu couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "Sir, what should we do now?"
"Let's wait for now. No one who is suspected can run away anyway." Baili Fengzhi looked calm. "Calculate the time. In a month at most, Xia Lie should be an adult. You will know by then."
"adult?"
Vice General Chu looked at Baili Fengzhi doubtfully.
Baili Fengzhi didn't explain anything, but just ordered: "Just keep an eye on Tu Laodao, and you don't need to worry about anything else."
"Yes." Vice General Chu said, cupping his hands.
At this time, he suddenly saw Baili Fengzhi stretch out a hand, put it on the table, and slowly spread his delicate white hand with the palm upward.
On her palm, a drop of bright red blood was floating.
"Sir, this is..." Vice General Chu was a little confused.
"The drop of blood I just took from Lin Yue."
Baili Fengzhi looked at the drop of blood quietly and suddenly said: "Bring me a spiritual seed. I want to see if Lin Yue's qualifications are true or false."
…
…
When I got home, it was already evening and dusk was approaching.
Lin Yue followed his daily routine and checked the traces left before leaving without revealing any flaws.
Fortunately, after Vice General Chu checked last time, he seemed to have stopped paying attention to Su Ziqiu, so no one came to investigate today.
After all, in the eyes of Baili Fengzhi, Vice General Chu and others, the young woman lying in this room was just Su Ziqiu who had suffered a terrible disaster.
As long as Su Ziqiu was not awake, Lin Yue had no worries that others would find out that she was fake.
Even the person who is most familiar with her, after stripping her naked, carefully examining every inch of her skin, and even going deep into her body, will only come to one conclusion -
She is Su Ziqiu.
"My current suspicions should be so few that they can be ignored in Baili Fengzhi's eyes."
In the kitchen, Lin Yue squatted in front of the stove, gradually adding dry wood to the newly lit fire, and silently thinking in his heart.
"Although I don't know how much Baili Fengzhi knows about Xia Lie, she definitely knows... Once Xia Lie dies, it will be known to the whole world, otherwise she would not be so convinced that Xia Lie is still alive."
"I tested Xia Lie, and even he himself didn't know the secret."
"From Baili Fengzhi's point of view, it is naturally even more impossible for me to know this secret."
"If you ignore the specialness of Xia Lie, the logic of that inference is reasonable enough to make her believe that I really want to kill the old drunkard, and make her believe that I really don't know anything..."
"Fortunately, the old drunkard is cunning enough."
"Although he is still the most suspect now, I have fallen out with him and want to kill him. Baili Fengzhi will only think that I cannot threaten him."
"Huh... I can take a breath for the time being."
"Xia Lie is still alive, so Baili Fengzhi won't be so anxious. Now the only breakthrough is the old drunkard, so in a short period of time, she won't do anything to the old drunkard..."
Thinking of this, Lin Yue suddenly frowned slightly.
He always felt something was wrong.
"Speaking of which, although Baili Fengzhi is attracted to Xia Lie, judging from her state, she doesn't seem to be nervous or anxious?"
"It's a pity that I know too little about Baili Fengzhi, otherwise I wouldn't be so passive."
Lin Yue sighed silently and continued to add firewood to the fire.
The dry wood crackled in the fierce fire, and the flames licked the dark bottom of the pot wantonly.
Suddenly--
"clang!"
A loud sound, like the knocking of a bell, suddenly exploded in Lin Yue's mind!
At the same time, everything in front of him seemed to stop for an instant.
The jumping flames in the stove were like a suspended scene, and the sound of the flames devouring dry wood also disappeared. Everything was silent except for the high-pitched and majestic bells that echoed in my mind.
"Here comes today."
Lin Yue felt happy and immediately listened expectantly: "How many rings?"
"clang!"
"clang!"
Two more high-pitched and majestic bells rang out, and then an ethereal whisper sounded, whispering softly in his mind——
"Did you know? Baili Fengzhi originally had a great future, but the other half of her body did not belong to the human bloodline. It was destined that neither the three religions nor the imperial court could tolerate her, so she did not dare to break through, so she had to put her hope aside They are all pinned on Xia Lie, the prince who lives among the people."
Immediately, this ethereal whisper disappeared without a trace, and the still flames in front of him began to burn and jump again.
Everything is back to normal, as if nothing happened.
"Three-ring level secret."
Lin Yue showed a hint of joy: "It's Baili Fengzhi's secret?"
The secrets involved by ordinary martial arts practitioners and masters of the three religions are basically at the second ring level.
However, the secrets of Baili Fengzhi and Tu Laodao were both at the three-ring level, so the cultivation realm of these two people was obviously at a higher level.
"Baili Fengzhi, half of the blood does not belong to the human race?"
Lin Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and began to ponder the information contained in this secret.
"So, she is not a pure human race. No wonder a warrior general who fights on the battlefield is so beautiful and delicate..."
"Originally she had a great future, but she didn't dare to break through? Because the three religions and the imperial court couldn't accommodate her?"
"This may be used to threaten her in the future, but it cannot be revealed until we have sufficient ability to protect ourselves."
You know it if you think about it.
If he were to catch Baili Fengzhi's braid now, he could come over and say, "Commander Baili, you don't want others to know that you are not a human being, right?" '
There is no need to think about the ending. Baili Fengzhi probably slapped him to death with his backhand.
Moreover, his life experience is too clean. He grew up in this small border town since he was a child. A little research will make it clear.
Even if he tried to deceive Baili Fengzhi and try to get her to make up her mind, I'm afraid Baili Fengzhi wouldn't believe it.
If they don't reach an agreement, a simple slap will turn him into a pulp.
Even if there is a glimmer of hope of success, great risks must be taken.
Therefore, unless he is confident enough, he will not use this method.
"The main problem lies with Xia Lie."
Lin Yue stared at the charcoal fire in the stove, picked up the fire stick and poked it a few times with some irritation.
"Prince Xia Lie is simply a time bomb. He cannot be killed or sent away. How should we deal with him..."
The last sentence of the secret I just received——
'Xia Lie is a prince living among the people', he has known this for a long time.
That's a four-ring secret.
I received it on the third day after Su Ziqiu's death.
"Did you know? Xia Lie's real surname is 'Xia Hong', and he is the biological flesh and blood of the God Emperor. His mother was pregnant for three years and six months before giving birth to him. As the most noble bloodline in the world, once he dies, The miraculous power of his bloodline will trigger the resonance of heaven and earth in Dayong, and the resentment of his soul will be engraved on the person who caused his death."
——This is the secret of Xia Lie.
Or...Xia Honglie.
Lin Yue also heard about the "Xia Hong Family" of the Dayong Royal Family.
According to legend, the heaven and earth are silent, and there is one god from ancient times. Since ancient times, history has been long, with rise and fall in a flash.
However, Dayong regarded himself as a divine dynasty, and this was the first time that he had created the world.
Dayong is indeed worthy of the name of the divine dynasty.
Not only does the country last for thousands of years, but the sun and moon illuminate it all as territory. Only the "eternal night" outside the country's borders does not belong to Dayong.
the most important is--
In these thousands of years, the head of Dayong Dynasty has never changed.
The supreme God-Emperor swept through the wilderness a thousand years ago, cutting down mountains and destroying temples, silencing demons and demons, making Taoists and Buddhas retreat, single-handedly burying the chaotic mythological era, and finally unified the world and founded this huge dynasty.
Its name has long become the only existing myth.
Although it is said that His Majesty the God-Emperor rarely manages government affairs, he has always existed in the hearts of the people of Dayong like a god.
It can be said that Dayong is a standard 'offline monarchy'.
However, even so, there has never been any serious rebellion and turmoil in Dayong, let alone such things as splitting the land and dividing the territory.
The absolute dominance of the royal family 'Xia Hong Clan' is evident.
As the flesh and blood of His Majesty the God-Emperor, Xialie is undoubtedly the noblest bloodline in the world.
——This is why Lin Yue didn't dare to kill him.
Even if he invites others to kill Xia Lie, the person Xia Lie hates is still him, and the resentment in his soul after death will still be engraved on him.
What's more, once Xia Lie, the son of the God Prince, dies, he will definitely attract those legendary spiritual masters to come. Under various unimaginable magical methods to explore, he will not be able to escape at all.
Therefore, Xialie is basically a time bomb that neither dares to move nor can be delivered.
If this continues, Lin Yue doesn't know how long he can hide it.
"If you can practice, you might be able to find some methods, and the secrets you receive should become more useful."
Lin Yue sighed helplessly, stood in front of the stove, silently ground rice and made porridge, "Unfortunately, I don't have the qualifications to practice martial arts. It's difficult to practice martial arts at this age, and I don't have spiritual veins, so I can't become a martial artist... What's more, no matter how good I am, Qualifications, I’m afraid it’s too late in such a short time.”
But what can he do?
We can only pass by one day at a time and continue to wait.
If Xia Lie is released, Xia Lie will kill him.
Even if he kills Xia Lie, he will also die.
So, he had no choice but to wait.
At least……
His innate magical powers will reveal more secrets over time.
Maybe one day we will find a way to make a comeback?
"Besides, my innate magical power seems to have a pattern."
Lin Yue narrowed his eyes slightly.
The first rule is that the more times the bell rings, the more 'advanced' the secrets he hears.
But now, he was vaguely aware of the second pattern.
Two months ago, after Xia Lie killed Su Ziqiu, he was filled with anger. He used the rare treasure obtained by the Wuxiang-level secret and two rare medicines, bone powder and soul trapping pill, to set up a trap to kill Xia Lie. The martial artist guarded him, and then destroyed his body and wiped out all traces.
I wanted to interrogate Xialie's origins, and after making preparations, I killed him.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before I received the secret about Xia Lie.
Otherwise, once Xialie is killed, he will be dead.
And now, after he came into contact with Baili Fengzhi, he also received Baili Fengzhi's secret.
This shows that the secrets harvested by this innate magical power are not completely random.
At least the people, things, or places he knows are likely to receive relevant secrets, and it is easier to receive secrets related to him.
"Also, almost all the secrets I receive are ones I can understand."
Lin Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, "I know the breathing method, and I have received secrets about the breathing method, but I have never received secrets about the practice, because I know nothing about it..."
That is to say——
If it's something he doesn't understand at all, he won't be able to receive the relevant secrets.
"Anyway, there's nothing to do except wait to die."
Lin Yue made a decision in his heart: "Starting today, I will stop pretending to make money. I will go to the gym to read books and learn more."
Anyway, if he is willing, he will basically not be short of money.
At the worst possible outcome, go to the old locust tree in the north of the city and dig out the 150 taels of silver that Miss Xiaoyue of Zuichun Tower buried.
…
Time is like water, passing by day by day.
Lin Yue went back and forth between his home and the gymnasium's bookstore all day long, and his life was completely a two-point one.
Go home to eat and sleep, feed 'Su Ziqiu' medicine and food to prevent her from starving to death. When you go out, you will read all kinds of books in the library of the gymnasium that you don't know how to use.
Most of them mainly read Taoist books, and the knowledge they understand is either Yin Yang, Bagua and Nine Palaces, or Taoist human geography.
If you can understand, understand more. This is the only thing he can do.
And Baili Fengzhi seemed to understand that it was useless to look for him. He never looked for him again since then. Now he doesn't know Tu Laodao's situation in prison.
Life seems uneventful.
But Lin Yue knew very well that this calmness was actually just a cover-up before the storm was about to come.
As time goes by, he inevitably becomes more and more anxious. He can't see the way forward in the future. It's like a huge shadow shrouding the future, which will eventually collapse.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
It’s already early September.
On the second day of September, a change finally occurred.
