Zhehua

During the time when Yin Taki hadn't come back, I mobilized my spiritual power day and night so that the nuwa stone in my body could fuse with me as soon as possible.

I have such an artifact in my hand, but it still can't be fully used by me.Leaving aside the complicated emotions in my heart, I focused on refining the Nuwa stone.

The sooner the Nuwa Stone blends with me, the more I will have a hole card in this mortal world where people's hearts are complicated and taboo.

After all, now I realize that relying on others is never the truth, only real strength can give people some peace of mind.

Now, although I only possess the two soul orbs, the innate physique brought about by the superior status of Princess Xuanyu may allow me to fight hard to leave this city that has been reclassified as a prisoner in my definition. The Chuiming Palace of the Cage.

If Yin Taki came back, she might take out the Yuanzhu from my body as she did before, and with her in charge in the Chuiming Palace, I would be unable to escape.

I once thought that Si Yao might be a viable solution when it was a last resort. With his magical powers, it should be possible to take me away.

It's just seeking skin with a tiger, how can you know that you are not sending yourself into another net, since Si Yao knows my identity, he naturally understands my existence, the importance to him and Yu Yinlong, maybe it is because of this that he is here In many previous things, he gave a helping hand regardless of remuneration.

I have dreamed of Gintaki during several short breaks.It's no longer the sweet and green first encounter in the Huangshan Mountains, or running towards me with a sword in hand and bathed in blood.

In the dream, she still had sad eyes, she stretched out her hand to me, and said, "I can't lose you." The next moment, I was pushed down and drowned in a sea of ​​blood.

The wraiths who lost their lives because of me stretched out their hands below and grabbed my limbs. I was pierced through the chest by the sharp blade of the betrayer, and I even forgot to feel frightened.

When I woke up, my whole body was covered in cold sweat. Before I had time to think about it, I started to adjust my breath again to speed up the refining of Nuwa stone in my body.

After all, I couldn't catch up. On the third starry night when my primordial spirit returned, Yin Taki pushed the door open and entered.

Just like the nights in the Chuiming Palace, she turned her back to the starry sky and walked towards me slowly.

"Mingshu..." The queen stopped two steps away from me, and the queen hesitated to speak.

"I'm tired, please go back." I don't want to face her, let alone face her.If Yin Taki stays for a moment longer, the danger of my plan being seen through by her will increase.

"I..." She opened her mouth to say something more, but was interrupted by my deep voice.

I said, "Yin Taki, don't make me hate you."

I looked at her silent black eyes, the color inside became more and more intense, without explaining anything, Yin Taki turned around and stepped forward, leaving a very soft sentence: "Good dream."

What a dream, I can't help but hook my lips and smile.

As a holy beast, I fell into the crime of slaughtering living beings, and the retribution appeared in my dreams every night. Those innocent human beings who disappeared because of it surrounded me at night, screaming and complaining with blood red eyes.

From the time I stepped into the city in the illusion, I knew everything in my heart, the cause and effect, everything was clear.

The prompting voice that sounded in the sky did not come from this fantasy world, but from the way of heaven. Mortals who kill people still need to pay their lives to suffer retribution, let alone me.

But that's what Yintaki asked for, and I allow her to do it all for her.Only this time, all the trust and love I entrusted to her will be taken back.

I'm going to leave her.

Sensing my resistance, Yin Taki never came to see me in the Chuiming Palace these days, but let Bingxiao follow me every step of the way.

Fortunately, Bingxiao is not Yintaki after all, and under my deliberate cover-up, she can't see any clues. When I close my eyes and adjust my breath, she just thinks that I am resting and waits quietly.

In the early morning of the seventh day, when I felt that the aura emanating from the Nvwa stone was exactly the same as that from my Yuanzhu, my heart was not relieved, but became heavier and deeper.

Uncharacteristically, I took the initiative to push the door open, and Bingxiao who was waiting outside immediately stepped forward to accompany me.

I didn't refuse either, and let her follow me all the way to the apse.

The apse that was destroyed by the fire has now been renovated, and the decoration is even more gorgeous than before. Based on my memory, I went to the house that Yin Taki took me into in the corridor and deep alley, and I counted The door, I figured it should be, so I opened the door and went in. The decoration in this room is no different from other rooms.

It is the consistent luxury in the Chuiming Palace.

I went to the table and sat down quietly, and Bingxiao came to stand aside.

Playing with the cups on the table, I casually asked Bingxiao, "Why haven't you been talking about your heroic and mighty king lately? It stands to reason that she returned victorious this time, and your loyal subordinate should go everywhere for her." Propaganda is."

"The king said that His Highness didn't like to remind her, so he asked the servants not to mention it." Bingxiao replied respectfully with her head bowed.

I couldn't help but hooked my lips and said with a smile: "It's a bit self-conscious."

After saying that, he asked her again: "She won a complete victory in the battle against the barbarians. Even if you don't let you mention it, I can hear some wind and corners in this palace. Your king may be busy recently. gone."

Bingxiao lowered her eyes, and said slowly: "Now that Gouchen has ruled the western region, the ministers went to the meeting to organize a ceremony to ask the ancestors, and spread the virtues to the world. Now everyone is busy with this matter."

"Really?" I put down the cup, tapped my knuckles on the table, and fell into deep thought.

Since it is to celebrate the unification of the Western Territory, the ceremony must be grand.When the sacrificial ceremony is going on, Yin Taki will be there, and that time is my best chance.Because what the people are praying for is nothing but auspiciousness descending from the nine heavens.

To put it more simply, the one they should worship is me, who was imprisoned in this deep palace by their king.

On the day of sacrifice, the worship and prayers of the people will strengthen my strength.

Relying on the Yuanzhu and Nvwa stone in my body, I will break out of the prison and return to the nine heavens, maybe...

At this time, Yin Taki's face suddenly appeared in my mind, the most beautiful in the world, cold as frost and snow and clear as moonlight, I recalled her glance in the back hall of the Chuiming Palace, such deep despair and sadness made people feel All of my mind was captured by one, and I couldn't look away anymore.

It was just a flash in the pan, so I immediately restrained my mind and quietly planned the escape. The closer the critical moment was, the more I needed to be calm and self-sufficient.

Time passed day by day, and the date of the festival revealed by Bingxiao was getting closer and closer.

Just the night before the ceremony started, Yin Taki came to the Chuiming Palace.

She has never appeared in front of me, but I know better than anyone else who is that figure silently waiting outside the room through the window under the moonlight.

After Yin Taki left, I couldn't sleep all night.

On the second day of the ceremony, Gou Chen and the whole country celebrated Yinlong's triumphant return, and the palace people in the Chuiming Palace, who were always serious, rarely showed a little anger on their faces.

I gently pushed open the door, feeling the joy of the people of Gouchen coming from all directions.

Man Tu was wiped out, and the powerful enemy who had been in the Western Territory for a hundred years was now pulled out, and Gou Chen became the overlord of the Western Territory, occupying the entire Western Territory's resources. Send joy.

I took a deep breath and interacted with Yuanzhu and Nuwa Stone in my body.

After a while, Yin Taki boarded the altar, and all the people prayed for the moment...

At that moment... I could fight hard and break free from the cage. Even if Yinlong came, he couldn't restrain me.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in my line of sight, and the corner of the white coat came into my eyes, and it disappeared in an instant.

I frowned slightly, and walked towards the corner of the palace wall.

Si Yao was crossing his arms, leaning against the wall and watching me come.His smile today was extraordinarily mean, and he looked like he was watching a good show.

"The whole country of Gouchen is holding a grand event right now. You don't want to attend the ceremony, but why did you come to the Chuiming Palace?" I restrained my thoughts, nodded to him with a light smile, and said, "I don't know if Mr. Si Yao is visiting the place today. Why?"

"A low-ranking official who is in white clothes is not qualified to enter the ceremony hall." After saying that, he paused, and said with a smile: "What is His Highness planning now, and what is Si Yao's reason for coming here at this moment."

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows a little, looking interested: "Your Highness really did not disappoint Si Yao."

Gintaki has been busy with important things recently, coupled with the complicated emotions she has towards me now, it may cause her to neglect and not be able to detect my movements.But I really don't expect to be able to hide it from Si Yao, and I have no such plan.

It was his intention from the very beginning to take me out of the Chuiming Palace.

"My lord, you might as well just speak up." I turned my eyes lightly, and stopped looking at him: "If you only come here to talk about these things, Ming Shu won't accompany you."

"Si Yao didn't come here this time with any malicious intentions, but to remind Her Highness why she should be so on guard." He said, with undiminished interest on his face, and said word by word: "Si Yao is here to warn the princess. Your Highness, I also hope that Your Highness Princess will give up what she wants to do as soon as possible."

"Oh? Why did you say that, son?"

"Because, Your Highness, you can't do it." He said these words lightly, and threw a heavy stone in my heart.

"Mr. Si Yao, why did you see that?" I turned around, my eyes were on him, my fingernails were about to dig into my palms, but he was indifferent, neither hurting nor itching.

"Your Majesty is just telling the truth, why should Your Highness be angry?" The smile on his face gradually widened, and he said in a leisurely tone: "If Your Highness was willing to ask His Majesty for help earlier, I might be able to help His Highness. Now Your Highness If I add a boost to the enchantment that the Queen set up to imprison Her Highness, even Si Yao can't do anything."

"What did you say?" I was startled, and took a step back slightly: "What... enchantment..."

"Your Highness does not know that the place to the west of Gouchen is not a desert. Back then, the queen used that place to form a barrier, and then sacrificed the lives of dozens of officials and alien parties to the place. The princess's aura is completely hidden, even the gods, it is difficult to find your existence."

He said, "tsk tsk" sighed twice, and continued: "For me, the enchantment can still be untied, but now that Mantu has been broken, all the land has been divided into Gouchen, and the queen will extend the enchantment In the eastern part of Mantu, the power of the barrier is now dozens of times stronger, and Si Yao is a mortal, so he thinks it's hard to do."

This is the punishment of adding pearls?Under my surprise, I couldn't control the chill rising in my heart.Yin Taki's cruelty didn't stop at sacrificing human life, he even imprisoned me, sacrificing the vitality of the earth veins in a radius of hundreds of miles.

I looked straight at Si Yao, and said in a deep voice, "If I forcibly cross the barrier, what will happen?"

"The spiritual power was exhausted, and the original shape appeared, and was captured by the queen."
