Chapter 1876
Hatred is a powerful motivation, but what has always encouraged He Lingchuan to move forward is not hatred. The belief he needs transcends hatred itself.
Bai Ziqi frowned. He indeed could not understand this kind of statement.
Can't accommodate? "Is it because of the Great Fang Hu?"
It is understandable that the Heavenly God cannot accommodate He Xiao, just like the Heavenly God cannot accommodate the Yuan Nation, cannot accommodate Panlongcheng; "Where does your He Xiao's inability to accommodate the Heavenly God come from?" Even Bai Ziqi felt that this kid was too arrogant, what qualifications did he have? He Lingchuan drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
Over the years, his mental journey was hard to tell outsiders. At first, he was indeed vigilant against Beijia because of the Great Fang Hu and because of the crime of harboring a jade, and he was determined to strengthen himself, forced to be self-reliant; however, with the passage of time and the growth of experience, his state of mind had long changed.
He understood more and more that he had taken over the spark in Zhong Shengquan's hand.
But this realization, he could not express to outsiders, could not express to anyone.
Seeing him smile without saying a word, Bai Ziqi sighed: "I am really curious, what ability does the Great Fang Hu have to make you and Zhong Shengquan die for it?"
"Why doesn't Brother Bai take a look for yourself?"
The moment He Lingchuan put down the cup, the surrounding scene changed.
They were suddenly on another small hill, also bare, but what Bai Ziqi faced was not lake water, but the towering outer wall of the city.
The city wall was two zhang high, and in Bai Ziqi's eyes, this wall was a bit thin, and the defense was not outstanding.
The wall was full of soldiers, either holding knives and spears, or bending bows and arrows, and their expressions toward the outside of the city were exceptionally nervous.
Outside the city?
He turned around and looked, his scalp tightened.
The opposite of the city was originally a vast green grassland, but now it was a vast forest of spears and halberds!
There was an army, with bright armor and fierce faces, and sharp weapons shining with cold light in the sunset!
Bai Ziqi had also fought wars, and at a glance at their spirit, he knew that these were rare elite soldiers. The horses under the warriors didn't even move.
The warriors in the front row were wearing dark red armor. It was a bit faded, but also stained with the sharpness of wind and frost.
"Where is this?" The two were between the two armies, less than ten zhang apart, and Bai Ziqi could feel the cold murderous aura of gold and iron horses.
But they didn't seem to find Bai Ziqi and He Lingchuan, and didn't even glance at them.
This is an illusion, right? "Luanzipo City." The table and chairs between them disappeared at some point, Bai Ziqi found himself sitting on a large rock, listening to He Lingchuan say, "About 70 li away from the former capital of the Xianyou Nation."
Xianyou Nation? A country that has disappeared in history? Bai Ziqi quickly positioned it in his heart, probably north of the newly established Shen Nation.
However, why would He Xiao specifically mention the Xianyou Nation? This thought just arose, and someone on the city wall shouted: "General Hong, General Hong, please come out and answer!"
A rider slowly paced out from the team below.
Black horse and red armor, with a cloak fluttering behind him.
Although this person was wearing a dragon-head mask and heavy armor, Bai Ziqi still recognized at a glance that this should be a female general! Her neck was very slender.
Of course, he could be so sharp because the official on the city wall roared her name.
Sealed in history, the famous General Hong! Bai Ziqi, as the Cloud Envoy, had read the sealed materials in the Tiangong, and of course knew what kind of character this was.
However, why did she appear here leading a large army? "The Xianyou King fled, leaving you, a small official, to die for him." General Hong opened her mouth, and her voice rang in the hearts of everyone on and off the city wall, "Open the gate and surrender, I killed people in the capital this morning, I'm a bit tired of killing."
Others saying this would be pretending to be X; but General Hong saying this made the soldiers on the city wall feel numb and swallow hard, because she didn't exaggerate at all.
Bai Ziqi was moved.
She killed people in the Xianyou capital, and the Xianyou King fled? Connecting these key sentences, could it be... the Xianyou Nation fell? General Hong breached the Xianyou capital this morning, the Xianyou King abandoned the capital and fled, and then the Panlongcheng army chased all the way here? "This is not right, is it?" Bai Ziqi immediately found the difference, "Historically, Panlongcheng was breached by the joint forces of Xianyou and Baling, how could this scene of counter-attack appear?"
Now it was Panlongcheng's General Hong who breached the Xianyou capital, forcing the Xianyou King to flee!
He Lingchuan said lightly: "Perhaps, this is the new history."
The official on the city wall was impassioned: "You dare to raise an army to invade, Beijia will definitely not spare Panlongcheng! Just wait, soon the Baling Nation will..."
An arrow flew from under the city and stuck into the wall beside him.
The official was startled and leaned back.
"Rotten wood cannot be carved." General Hong seemed to sigh, waved her hand, "Kill!"
Luanzipo was just an ordinary city, without copper walls and iron barriers. The Panlong Army didn't even need to dispatch specialized siege beasts.
Before long, the city gate was breached.
When the army surged up like a tide, Bai Ziqi kicked a stone under his feet, which rolled down the small hill.
General Hong, who was in the middle of a chaotic battle, suddenly turned her head and glanced here.
Although wearing a mask, Bai Ziqi could feel that her gaze was locked on him.
She saw them?
Oh my. He Lingchuan hurriedly waved his hand.
Bai Ziqi's vision blurred, and the scene changed again.
They sat back at the table again, also a square table, but it was yellow poplar wood, the lacquer on the surface had been patched several times, looking a bit old.
They were no longer outdoors, but in a tavern.
The tavern's facade was not big, six or seven tables were occupied by three groups of guests, all eating and chatting, showing no abnormality.
Bai Ziqi looked out the door, his brows tightly locked.
This tavern also faced a city wall, compared to Luanzipo, this one was shockingly high, and the plank road on the wall was also neatly repaired.
"Why does it look like the high wall of a prison?"
He Lingchuan poured himself a cup of wine: "I heard that Lingxu City also built a wall, how high is it?"
Bai Ziqi immediately closed his mouth.
Very high, at least not shorter than the section in front of him.
Then, he saw a dragon swimming past the wall.
"That is... a city-protecting beast?"
This work was organized and uploaded by 69 Book Bar~~
Bai Ziqi was startled at first, but soon discovered that it was not a real dragon.
With this dragon, combined with the Luanzipo City and General Hong he saw earlier, he understood after a little thought:
"Here, isn't this Panlongcheng?"
"Authentic and genuine." He Lingchuan picked up the pot with his middle finger and shook it, "Empty. Waiter, bring wine!"
As a result, a four or five-year-old child came, holding a pot of wine, barely able to put it on the table: "Father said, this wine is given to General Huyi to drink, no money!"
He Lingchuan took the wine pot and rubbed his head: "Good, thank him."
"General Huyi?" Bai Ziqi's gaze was as surprised as Qianhuan's earlier, "Are you also a person in Panlongcheng?"
"Right, authentic and genuine."
"No, that's not right, you are a living person." Bai Ziqi muttered, "What is going on?"
The guests at the edge suddenly burst into laughter, all chatting about interesting things on the battlefield.
People flowed like weaving outside the door, the peddler shook the wave drum and passed by, and the hall was filled with the fragrance of wine, meat, and food...
It was getting dark.
Bai Ziqi took a sip of the wine, this wine had the fragrance of pears, different from what he drank before.
"Are we in the Great Fang Hu?"
"No. You just saw the scene in the Great Fang Hu." The Great Fang Hu would not accept Bai Ziqi, this was just He Lingchuan using the Great Expansion Heavenly Bead to synchronize the scene of the Panlong world.
"Then where are you?" Bai Ziqi asked, "In reality or in the pot, why can these people talk to you?"
"Both." He Lingchuan smiled slightly, "I am between illusion and reality."
Where is the boundary between illusion and reality? After the trip to the Upside-Down Sea, he had new insights.
Although his heart was in chaos, Bai Ziqi still discovered: "This Panlongcheng is also not the Panlongcheng in history, right?"
He Lingchuan only said: "Panlongcheng has never disappeared."
He waved his hand again, and Bai Ziqi's vision blurred again.
They returned to the lakeside again, the surroundings were cold and desolate, with a pot of leftover wine on the table.
This was reality.
He Lingchuan said lightly: "It has never been that I am die-hard for the Great Fang Hu, but that Panlongcheng shaped me into such a character."
Bai Ziqi was silent.
The two scenes just now answered the questions about He Xiao, but more questions arose.
This guy in front of him, what exactly is his background? He Lingchuan didn't give him more time to think: "I am also curious, what magic does the Tiangong have to make a character as brilliant as Brother Bai betray his origin and position, and die-hard for the Heavenly God?"
Bai Ziqi narrowed his eyes, his tone very surprised: "Betray origin and position?"
This was the first time someone had put the two words "betrayal" on him.
"You are the Cloud Envoy of the Tiangong, you know clearly how the Heavenly Demon controls Beijia and how to create chaos to seize the karmic energy of the human world, you are not those ignorant believers." He Lingchuan looked directly into his eyes, "But you are a human first, why are you determined to be a dog for the Heavenly Demon?"
"Human?" Bai Ziqi's gaze clashed with his, without any fear, "Do you know what the human world was like before Beijia appeared?"
"Back then, I heard quite a few lectures at the Lingxu Imperial Academy." He Lingchuan leaned back on the chair, "The world was desolate like an eternal night, and the common people lived like pigs and dogs, until Beijia appeared and became the ideal country of demons. Right?"
"The Lingxu City back then didn't have walls, ten thousand countries came to pay tribute, and the academic style was lively. Lingxu City would of course repair the history of Beijia well and decorate it beautifully." He Lingchuan had read books and listened to lectures in Lingxu City, and there were special explanations of pre-national history, in which there were countless moving deeds of sages.
And he could also feel that not only foreign students believed it, but Lingxu City people also believed it, and Beijia citizens from other places also believed it.
Everyone believed it deeply.
What reason was there not to believe? That was a whole set of theories, that was a history passed down in order.
And there were so many experts who specifically wrote books and made notes, could they all be fake?
