If the situation is serious, the entire world may fall into a long-term state of collapse, and even "Heaven's Way" may not be able to save it.
In theory, this is actually a way to "escape fate."
After all, even the world line has collapsed, so "Heaven's Will" can no longer control the fate of all beings as it normally does... Huh? Wait?
Bai Yuan suddenly had an idea——
Speaking of...
Could it be that Gui Yuan wants to do just this?
That person, in order to observe the workings of "fate," was a ruthless person who could massacre entire villages and families, accumulating a monstrous blood debt. If the person who traveled back thirty years through the Wheel of Life and Death this time wasn't Bai Yuan, but she...
If things go wrong, Gui Yuan might really go and fight with Tian Dao.
But Bai Yuan still values his life.
Before her strength is strong enough to truly escape the cycle of reincarnation, she does not intend to break with "Heaven's Way" and put herself in danger.
Moreover……
To reverse the previous incarnation's feud with Qingluo and successfully clear the name of the person, it doesn't necessarily mean drastically changing the plot. As long as the framework of Qingluo's life remains unchanged, adding a few "appropriate" details can achieve the same effect.
For example——
Since someone has to send Qingluo, whose heart and bones have been dug out, back to Donghuang, why can't it be Xueyuan who sends her there personally?
Although the "heart-cutting and bone-digging" had already happened and could not be reversed, and Bai Yuan could not possibly stuff the [Clarifying Heart Sword Bone] back into Qing Luo's body - if she really did so, not to mention whether it would make Qing Luo think that her master was a psychopath, the fact that Qing Luo had both the blood of the Divine Phoenix and the "Sword Bone" in her body would probably have an immeasurable impact on the world line.
but……
Being unable to change the facts does not mean that the parties involved cannot change their minds.
What if Xue Yuan cut out the sword bone in order to stimulate Qing Luo to awaken the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix?
What if Xue Yuan sent Qing Luo away in order to prevent her half-demon identity from being exposed and putting her in danger?
In order to gain Jiang Rao's trust, Bai Yuan had fabricated a story about his past with the Jiang family, and with the saying "Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run," he explained all the evil deeds his previous incarnation had done to Jiang Rao as training and tempering for her. And now...
She thought she could use this trick again on Qingluo.
But the difference from Jiang Rao's time is...
This time, Bai Yuan was going to use more than just lies and illusions. At this point in time when many things hadn't yet happened, she could completely make this statement come true, fool "God's will", tamper with the world line, and make the fake become real!
Then, in the process, he would leave clues that would reveal his identity, allowing Qingluo to discover them on her own in the future, and thus appreciate the good intentions of her master...
The plan goes through!
"call……"
Bai Yuan took another deep breath, thinking about the key points and feasibility of this plan.
Hmm... there shouldn't be any problem.
As long as she could grasp the "degree" and not cause any fundamental changes to the original world line, then this whitewashing operation should be a great success! If she had time, she could even go to Yunhezhou and make up for the lie she told Jiang Taixu...
"So……"
Bai Yuan opened his eyes again, letting the cold raindrops fall on his face, but his gaze was looking dimly towards the other side of the barren mountain - if nothing unexpected happened, that should be where the dying Qingluo was now.
"Let's go and take a look at my stupid apprentice first."
……
"Ahem..."
Qingluo lay dying in a pool of blood, coughing up the last mouthful of blood foam, and her vision began to blur.
The blood in her body was almost gone.
As her blood was lost in large quantities, her body began to gradually cool down, but it was still not as cold as the cold she felt in her heart.
At that moment, countless images flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern: their first encounter in the small town years ago, their ten years of dependence on each other, the silver bells swaying on her master's blood-red dress... and finally, the cold fingers piercing her chest on a rainy night, and that resolute figure...
An indescribable fatigue and pain spread in Qingluo's heart, making her eyelids as heavy as lead. She just wanted to close her eyes as soon as possible and fall asleep.
at this time.
A familiar fragrance wafted over from the side.
Qingluo wanted to open her eyes, but in the end she only managed to open her eyelids a crack. In a daze, she saw a pair of white bare feet falling from mid-air and standing in front of her. Then a black curtain wrapped her up and gently picked her up in a princess hug.
The faint scent of peach blossoms filled the air, making her feel like she was in a dream.
"Don't be afraid, go to sleep. Everything will be fine when you wake up."
——In a trance, the other party seemed to say this in her ear. There was a reassuring feeling in the voice.
"..."
Qingluo wanted to say something, but she couldn't suppress her tiredness, so she quickly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
He slept for three days and three nights.
Until the morning of the fourth day.
Qingluo woke up again from her drowsiness. When she opened her eyes, she saw white reflections coming through the skylight above her head, as if it was snowing outside.
There was a faint scent of grass and trees in the air, as well as some indescribable smell that made people's brains a little numb.
"you're awake?"
A hoarse voice came from the side.
Qingluo's eyelids twitched slightly and she looked in the direction of the sound.
Not far away, before a bonfire, a hunched, white-haired woman stirred a clay pot with a wooden spoon. The drooping brim of her black cloak obscured most of her face, revealing only her wrinkled chin. Various herbs floated in the boiling broth, reflecting a strange luster in the firelight.
"This is……"
Where?
Qingluo's expression was still a little confused.
She subconsciously wanted to touch her chest to see if her heart was still beating there, but she found that her body seemed to be filled with lead and no matter how hard she tried, she could not move at all.
After realizing this, Qingluo's body trembled, and she suddenly thought of a possibility. She was immediately enveloped by layers of unspeakable fear:
Could it be... that this is the legendary underworld?
Could the white-haired old woman next to her be the "Meng Po" in the story, who is busy making "Meng Po Soup" for herself so that after drinking it, she can quickly reincarnate in the world of the living?
Hmm...it makes sense.
But generally speaking, shouldn't one first go through the King of Hell and the Judge, have one's merits and sins in life announced, and decide what path one will take in the next life, before walking onto the Naihe Bridge to reincarnate? Could it be that this whole process had been completed during the time when he was drowsy?
Just when Qingluo was thinking about this.
The old woman glanced over here and spoke again: "Don't move. Your injuries haven't healed yet, so you should lie down for a while."
"hurt?"
Qingluo blinked and realized that she seemed to be wrapped in a sable blanket with a herbal scent. The penetrating wound on her chest was covered with some kind of cold ointment, and even her breath carried a hint of the cold fragrance of plum blossoms.
I……
Still alive?
At this time, the old woman had stood up and poured the potion from the pot into a bowl. She then came over with the bowl and sat down beside the bed. She first put a pillow behind Qingluo's back so she could sit up, then scooped out some water with a spoon, blew on it to warm it, and handed it to Qingluo's mouth:
"Come on, open your mouth. Drink this bowl of medicine first."
Chapter 202 I can tell at a glance that you are not human!
Following the old woman's words.
Qingluo smelled the faint scent of peach blossoms again, just like the one she had smelled in that "dream".
She recalled a scene she had seen in her daze before, and subconsciously lowered her eyelids to look at the old woman's feet, but she only saw a pair of old-fashioned cloth shoes with black bottoms and red stripes, with fine snow like salt grains on them, as if they were brought in when she came back from outside just now.
(An illusion?...)
Also.
It is impossible for an old man of this age to like to go barefoot like some evil witches.
Perhaps I was too obsessed with that crazy woman, so I had hallucinations...
Qingluo thought so in her heart, glanced at the herbs not far away, and then took a sip of the medicine - after all, she had already died once, even if the other party brought her Mengpo soup, there was nothing to be afraid of at this time. The worst result was nothing more than dying again.
"Gudong..."
It tastes a little bitter when you first put it in your mouth.
However, after taking a few sips of the medicinal soup, Qingluo felt a faint warm current flowing in her body, nourishing her limbs and bones.
"Drink slowly, be careful of the heat."
The old woman sat patiently beside her, feeding Qingluo the medicine spoonful by spoonful, then wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief before getting up to clean up the dishes.
Qingluo lay on the bed, waiting for her body to feel a little better. Then she opened her mouth again and asked in a hoarse voice, "Old...Senior, did you save me? Why?"
Facing Qingluo's question, the old woman simply smiled faintly: "What other reason do you need to save someone? Besides, the one who truly saved you wasn't me, but you. The injuries caused by having your heart and bones removed can't be healed with just some herbs."
"?"
Qingluo was a little confused.
At this moment, she still didn't know about the Divine Phoenix bloodline.
The "old woman" didn't explain in detail to her. She just carefully wiped the sweat off Qingluo's face, tucked the corner of the quilt in, and said softly, "Don't move around here. Rest up first. I'll go out and get you something to eat."
"……Um."
Qingluo nodded, watched the other party lift the curtain and leave, then silently looked at the skylight without saying a word.
……
The "old woman" is naturally Bai Yuan.
For someone like her who possessed the [Thousand Faces of the Demonic Spider], this kind of role-playing was a piece of cake. She had once deceived Baili Qingfeng and the others by posing as "Su Baizhi of the Pure Heart Sect."
If it were Qingluo from thirty years later, perhaps she would be able to see some of her flaws, but now... Qingluo, who is only seventeen years old and has just had her heart and bones dug out and her cultivation destroyed, wants to see through her disguise as an old Yuanying monster from thirty years later who knows everything. It cannot be said that there is no possibility at all, but the probability is indeed close to 0.
The only problem is...
The awakening speed of Qingluo's "Divine Phoenix Bloodline" was a little slower than Bai Yuan expected.
This is actually normal.
After all, Qingluo's bloodline is mixed from generation to generation, and it is unknown how many generations have passed since she was the "Phoenix Ancestor". Her awakening now is actually a kind of "atavism" phenomenon, so it is naturally slower than that of an authentic Phoenix girl.
In addition, Qingluo's spirit also hindered the awakening of her bloodline to some extent. Having just experienced the backstab of her master, although Qingluo did not change much on the surface, she had suffered a huge blow psychologically. She felt like she was being played around, and to be more serious, she even had a tendency to self-destruct.
His eyes were empty and lifeless.
In this way, Bai Yuan not only has to take care of her daily life, but also has to rack her brains to communicate with her to prevent this girl from falling into depression.
This is a challenge for Bai Yuan.
After all, she had always been "taken care of" more often in the past, especially by Ye Shuang'er who had always been by her side.
"Well, let's just help Lao Yuan pay off his debt."
Bai Yuan sighed, stepped into the fine snow outside the house, and began to prepare dinner.
……
in the following days.
Bai Yuan continued to play the role of "old nanny", taking care of Qingluo meticulously, helping her change her medicine, feed her, and wash her body every day.
Well... I have to say, Qingluo's skin texture is really good.
It is white and delicate, smooth and soft. Even if you look at it with a magnifying glass, you can hardly find any flaws. It feels as soft and smooth as warm jade to the touch, making Bai Yuan unable to let it go.
Moreover, this girl's facial features are the most delicate among the three disciples of Xue Yuan, and her figure is also well developed. According to the original plot, after she completely awakens the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix, she will undergo a second round of development. At that time, her figure will be at its peak. Now it is only 80% of the level.
But 80% is enough.
You know, Ye Shuang'er, who is also seventeen years old, is not that old...
Therefore, when Bai Yuan helped her clean these days, he often recalled the CG scenes about her that he had seen in his previous life.
However, considering that he had important things to do and Qingluo was still a "wounded soldier", Bai Yuan did not really do anything to this girl except occasionally thinking about it in his mind.
Closer to home.
