Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 425 The truth about the evil pond!

The wind and snow were howling outside the cave, and the faint blue light reflected by the ice curtain cut Bai Ze's face into pieces.

She picked up the Mosong sword that was placed between the two of them. The sword had long since stopped rejecting the woman with whom she had had close contact.

She stroked the dragon pattern on the scabbard of the Mosong sword with her fingertips: "Your sword is full of death energy."

You Sujian raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that the other party was saying that he had killed many people. But her calm tone was not critical, but more like a kind of compassion, seemingly talking about Mo Songjian, but also talking about her own hands.

"Do you know how many generations of people's skeletons are buried under the snowfields of Beiaozhou?" She suddenly spoke, her voice as light as a falling ice crystal.

You Su paused as she fanned the bonfire, sparks splashing onto the frost on her skirt. "Every piece of land is buried with people who live there. I don't understand the meaning of your question."

Bai Ze chuckled, the firelight reflected in his pupils flickering: "What I mean is that I want to tell you that in other continents, if you want to know how many generations are buried there, the only way is to check the family tree. But in Beiao Continent, you don't need anything. You just need to dig up their graves, and you can count how many generations have died, and even see their appearance before they died clearly."

You Su naturally knew that low temperatures could prevent objects from rotting, and in the frozen soil of Beiaozhou, a corpse could be preserved for hundreds or even thousands of years:

"I know that the weather in Beiaozhou is freezing cold, and I have also seen the poverty of the people in Beiaozhou. You don't have to emphasize this to me again."

Bai Ze shook his head. "Poverty is not something to be proud of. I didn't emphasize it. I want you to understand the real reason for poverty - because this land is not suitable for survival."

You Su was slightly startled when he heard this. He looked at Bai Ze, whose face was calm, and vaguely felt that the other party would show no reservations.

"A flower blooms, pollinates, bears fruit, withers, decomposes, and is reborn. This is the cycle of its life, and it is also the law of the operation of the way of heaven. Everything is like this. But in Beiaozhou, this cycle is slow, even stagnant, so it takes a long time for death here to become nutrients for life, but the living cannot wait, because they will soon become dead too."

The girl narrated the most fundamental problems of Beiaozhou calmly, without showing any emotions such as sadness or indignation. However, this calmness came from her knowing that she was powerless, which made people feel a deep sadness.

You Su suddenly began to believe in the so-called soul-separation theory, because if the person in front of her was not one of the real Venerable Qianlong..., she would not be able to see through the ice layer of Beiao, let alone say such words.

"What is the purpose of your practice of Taoism?" the girl suddenly asked a cliché question.

You Su pursed his lips. He should have been repulsed by this strange woman who suddenly appeared, but for some reason he couldn't feel any real hostility towards her.

"Protect the people around me." You Su's answer was quite sincere.

"Isn't it immortality?" Bai Ze smiled softly when she heard this. She stroked the hilt of the sword and looked at the marks left by countless times of holding it. After a long time, she put the Mosong Sword back to its original position.

"She is the same as you, but her selfishness is greater than yours. She wants to protect the people of the entire Beiaozhou."

"she is……?"

"Venerable Qianlong, the other... me."

She untied the twin ponytails that were entangled with silk threads in her hair, and as her black hair fell, it actually drew a star map in the air.

"This is what we drew. It shows the direction of the ground veins of the thousand-year-old frozen soil of Beiaozhou. Each silver line carries the survey data that she almost exchanged her life for. We started measuring the land of Beiaozhou with our feet from the Condensation Water Realm."

You Su was dazed as he stared at the star map. He had a vague sense of déjà vu, and then he realized that it was the pattern drawn by the oil from the overturned wok flowing on the ground.

"Let me ask you again, if you were alone at a banquet, and there was a dish of delicacies on the table that only you could enjoy, and no one else could eat it, would you feel guilty towards the many strangers who were at the banquet with you?"

You Su reacted quickly, frowning and asking back: "Are you comparing this plate of delicacies to Xuanqi? And those strangers at the feast are mortals who cannot practice cultivation?"

"Ascending to the sky and seeking immortality is the original intention of the immortal ancestors to pass down the way of immortality. People like you are ultimately a minority." Bai Ze sighed lightly, as if tacitly acknowledging that You Su would answer with guilt.

You Su was about to say something, but then stopped. He did feel guilty, but he felt guilty because Bai Ze regarded him as a selfless person.

Is there anyone in this world who doesn't care about himself? Faced with such a situation, he might feel a little embarrassed, but it didn't stop him from feasting on this delicacy that only he could enjoy. Why would he care about those who couldn't eat it?

"I just told you that the cycle of destruction is the ultimate principle of heaven. She believes that Xuanqi should also follow this principle. However, high-level cultivators have long lifespans, but they have taken away a huge amount of Xuanqi and have not returned it to heaven and earth. This will also hinder the cycle of heaven."

As soon as he finished speaking, the firewood flickered for a moment. You Su looked at Bai Ze in astonishment, unable to believe that the Qianlong Venerable who intended to kill him had such an opinion. This view was tantamount to saying that all high-level cultivators were lingering termites.

"Having said that, hasn't she cultivated to the highest level in the world?"

"Yes, after all, who can refuse privileges? But she believes that if you accept privileges, you must make corresponding contributions. Since high-level cultivators have obtained resources that ordinary people cannot afford, and even hindered the cycle of heaven, they should help promote it. I don't think she is right, I just want to make Beiaozhou a better place. She is more resourceful and ambitious than me, so I believe in her."

At this moment, the ice crystal star map suddenly began to twist and turned into two figures. The woman on the left, with her silk silk fluttering, was holding a jade ruler to measure the snowy plain; the woman on the right, with her white robe stained with frost, was kneeling on the ground and gently stroking the frozen wheat seedlings.

Two identical faces looked at each other across the stars, with completely different worlds reflected in their eyes.

"She is the Venerable Qianlong, and I am the Lord of Jianlong Palace." Bai Ze's voice was soaked with wind and snow. "We share a body, but are separated like light and shadow. When she is in charge of the body, she suppresses evil spirits with thunder and lightning; when I am in charge of consciousness, I comfort people with gentle rain and gentle breeze."

You Su's pupils dilated slightly, and he realized that the selfless and noble female fairy mentioned by his master's wife was not an illusion, but everything was real.

“We worked hard to climb up, and Beiaozhou is indeed getting better, but it seems that it cannot get better. This is the limitation of this land.

After she became the Immortal Ancestor Temple's Immortal Official, most of the laws she revised and the treaties she promulgated were aimed at the great monks, but there were not as many fools in the world as she was who regarded privileges as responsibilities. The self-righteousness she despised was nothing more than the single-minded practice in the eyes of others, so what was wrong with that?

So over the past few hundred years, she has changed, becoming disheartened and arbitrary. The frozen soil cannot grow flowers as beautiful as those in the south. This is the rule of heaven that she most upholds, but she is unwilling to stop there, so she decided to change the world for Bei Aozhou. "

The star map suddenly exploded into a sky full of ice chips, and a rotting corpse of an evil demon emerged from the void. Countless black roots drilled out from the cracks in its shell, and the frozen soil they touched actually blossomed into a sea of ​​colorful flowers.

"That year, when the head of the Exorcist Department of Zhongyuanzhou, Henglian, sent me a sample of black soil, she stroked the flower branch and said to me, 'Look, this is the vitality of Beiaozhou.'"

Seeing the Lord of Dragon Palace looking at the scene on the light curtain, there was still a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

"Although the head of the Heavenly Arts School repeatedly warned that the black soil formed by the decay of a large amount of evil spirits is fertile, it is ultimately transformed by evil things, so it can only be used for research and not for practice, let alone promoting evil things. But she didn't think so. She believed that those who were born in a privileged place and lived a life of luxury could not understand the value of this black soil at all. This was the key to her changing Beiaozhou."

"She...she wants to use this evil and corrupted black soil to replace the frozen soil of Beiaozhou?!" You Su could hardly hide his shock. This was indeed a feat that dared to change the sun and the moon into a new sky. Regardless of whether this method was feasible or not, if it were someone else, they probably wouldn't even have the courage to come up with this idea.

"Yes, after she got the frozen soil, she conducted repeated experiments. The flowers and plants that grew from the black soil were so vibrant that even the ice and snow could not suppress their vitality. She even ate the fruits herself and did not detect any abnormalities. She was very excited and could not wait to see the lush and green Beiaozhou in her imagination. However, the most critical step that hindered her plan was that the black soil formed by the evil corpses was too scarce and it was impossible to fill the entire Beiaozhou."

At this point, a flash of light suddenly appeared in You Su's mind. All his past doubts were connected together at this moment, and he suddenly became enlightened.

"So she dug a tunnel to the bottom of the sea! The bottom of the sea is the lair of evil spirits, and the black soil there is inexhaustible!"

If so, then everything makes sense!

Things had to be done in secret, and she couldn't build such a tunnel openly, because it would definitely lead to opposition from many people, and she had long looked down on that group of people, so she would not care about their opinions.

So thirty years ago, she began to dig secretly, and the location was inside the Kongyuan Divine Mountain. She chose that place not because the Kongyuan Divine Mountain had long been connected to evil, but because she was cautious enough. If this tunnel became a shortcut for the evil spirits under the sea to invade, there was still enough power of the mountain to suppress it!
In order to avoid the above situation as much as possible, she began to forge her identity and secretly mobilized divine stones from the Far North where evil spirits were rare to suppress the entrance of the tunnel. This is why there are so many divine stones there!

"From the beginning of the evil land, I felt that she was a little eager for quick success, and then the idea of ​​transporting black soil from the bottom of the sea, I felt that she had gone crazy. In my opinion, the best solution is to proceed step by step and rule by inaction. If this is the law of nature, then we should do our best on the basis of complying with the law of nature.

So when I was in control of the body, I repeatedly delayed and even destroyed her plans. This was the beginning of my struggle with her, and we would do anything to gain control of this body. The final result is what you see now. "

Seeing the Dragon Palace Master spread out his hands lightly, his tone actually contained some self-mockery as a loser.

You Su had basically figured out the whole story at this time. The higher the level of cultivation, the more they seek to understand their mind, so they are more obsessed with unfinished things. Venerable Qianlong was already obsessed with completing the great cause of transforming Beiaozhou, and seeing that the Lord of the Dragon Palace was regarded by her as a traitor and the person most likely to destroy her plan, she wanted to kill her "self".

"She doesn't dare to kill you herself, so why doesn't she ask a assassin to do it for her? Then the backlash from Heaven won't be able to hit her."

"Because she couldn't bear to kill me. She was devoted to governing Beiao, and her devotion to cultivation was far less than mine. The improvement of that body's cultivation was basically achieved through my cultivation, while she was responsible for planning and thinking. We thought we would always cooperate like this, but no one would have thought that one day, two souls in one body would turn against each other. She hasn't yet fully understood our origin skills, so she can't bring out the strength of the upper realm of Dongxu. Without the support of the strength of the upper realm of Dongxu, it would be difficult for her to command the support of hundreds of people in Beiaozhou and cover the sky with one hand."

She sighed again, "Admittedly, I used some despicable means to stop her. So after she gave up on me, she tried to make me lose my power, so that even if I woke up, I couldn't stop her. When she saw me appear in the sacred mountain, she thought I was out of her control, so she tried to make me commit suicide. I'm afraid it was also her desire for revenge against me. As for you, you became a sharp sword for her to take revenge on Bai Ze."

You Su raised an eyebrow, thinking that the Dragon Palace Master was honest. All her stories were fair and objective, and she did not belittle her because she was an enemy. In the final analysis, this conflict was caused by the different ideas of the two people in governing Beiaozhou.

"Since you have regained consciousness a long time ago, why didn't you tell me the truth earlier?"

"Before I got the giant clam pearl, I thought that dying at the bottom of the sea was my destiny. Bai Ze likes you very much, and I don't want to disturb her, nor do I want you to have any grudges."

You Su pursed his lips, not daring to respond to the "like" in her words.

He thought of those intimacy that crossed the line, those charming family rules... The target of the punishment might not be a stupid cat who had just begun to fall in love, but a female fairy who was ranked among the most respected among humans...

Thinking of this, his resentment towards the Dragon Palace Master for concealing his identity faded a lot, and instead he felt some unnecessary guilt.

"But judging from the results, she was indeed wrong. If it is not stopped in time, Beiaozhou will not only not prosper, but will perish instead."

You Su deeply felt the complexity of human nature. He admired Venerable Qianlong's ambition to transform Beiaozhou, but he did not approve of her radical approach.

But not long after he said this, he suddenly felt something was wrong. "Since Venerable Qianlong is devoted to Beiaozhou, how could he just sit back and watch this evil tide spread wantonly?!"

Seeing the Dragon Palace Master tapping her knees with her fingertips, "Yes, although she is paranoid, she is not stupid enough to allow the evil spirits to massacre the city. In the past thirty years, someone must have tampered with her plan and changed it into another form-"

You Su's pupils shrank slightly, and his memories spread out like a spider web. The meaningful smile of Master Aoshu when he handed over the account book, the boiling pool of blood outside Changshan City, the broken statue of Master Qianlong in the temple - all the fragments were suddenly connected by some sticky malice. Someone took advantage of Master Qianlong's kindness and turned a rescue into a massacre!

"So I need your help. We need to wake her up from this big dream." Seeing the Dragon Palace Master nodded, her long black hair fell and covered half of her face.

"what can I do?"

In You Su's opinion, Bai Ze was the container prepared by the Lord of the Dragon Palace. His strength must be only second to Dongxu, and with his strength, what he could do in this struggle was ultimately limited.

"Bai Ze is the main soul of this body. She is now the key to saving Bei Ao Zhou. But she doesn't have Bei Ao Zhou in her eyes. She only has you in her eyes."

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold wind blew snow into the cave. The girl's eyelashes trembled as the fire flickered.

When the deer eyes opened again, the flowing icy blue had turned into clear amber.

Bai Ze looked around blankly, and after seeing You Su's face clearly, he suddenly shrank into the corner of the rock wall, hugging his knees and curling up into a small ball.

You Su knew that she was angry with him for distancing himself from her just now.

After sorting out the situation, You Su knew that this was still his stupid cat sister, so he went up to her and coaxed her softly: "Are you still cold?"

"Don't talk to me! I don't want you anymore, meow!"

These words were more heart-wrenching than the sharp claws of the evil spirits at the bottom of the sea. You Su had long regarded Bai Ze as an extremely important existence: "How could I not want Bai Ze..."

"Then hug me." Bai Ze turned his head, tears hanging on his chin, ready to fall, revealing his true colors.

You Su's hand, which wanted to touch but was frozen in mid-air, reflected the flickering firelight, just like his hesitant heart.

Hugging Bai Ze was already a common thing for him, but when he found out that there was an old lady in the other person's body, it was really difficult for him to do it.

Bai Ze didn't care about that. He pulled You Su's hand and put it around himself, then hugged You Su's waist affectionately, as if he was afraid that he would run away again.

You Su was helpless. After asking and learning that when Bai Ze woke up, the Dragon Palace Master would fall asleep, he felt a little less uneasy and quietly hugged him tighter.

Ah Jiu was already fast asleep, while Ah Ying was wrapped tightly in her linen cloak, allowing the intertwined silhouettes of the two to be seen clearly.
