Outlaw

Today is, Spring Festival.

The wind in the Western Region is as cold as a knife, especially at night when the frost and dew fall, it is even more unbearable.

Xiao Beichen stood alone in the pavilion outside the yard.

From this location, you can overlook the entire castle and most of Loulan City.

A broad vision makes people's minds open-minded.

Xiao Beichen leaned on the railing with his back against the stone pillar. He picked up a black jar of wine in his right hand and drank it one sip after another.

In fact, Xiao Beichen has always been self-disciplined and does not indulge in tobacco or alcohol. Only when I am in an extremely bad mood or extremely excited, I will smoke two cigarettes and drink a few sips of wine.

Gulu!

Pour it into your mouth one bite at a time.

The Ice Emperor was sitting next to him, leaning on the railing, watching the fireworks all over the city, and murmuring in his mouth: "It seems that the Western Regions are still influenced by Daxia culture. Especially Loulan City, which has the most flavor of the year. Second brother Hua Xizi and the others have all gone to attend the fireworks show, and there is also a fountain. Don’t you go and take a look?"

Xiao Beichen took a sip of wine and said with a wry smile: "I'm old. I'm no longer interested in these things."

The Ice Emperor gave Xiao Beichen a hard look: "In front of me, a thousand-year-old demon, are you saying that you are old?"

Xiao Beichen was stunned.

Uh...it seems inappropriate.

Ice Emperor said: "You are old-hearted. You are tired."

Xiao Beichen nodded heavily: "Yes. That's what it means."

After saying that, Xiao Beichen drank heavily again.

Ice Emperor wanted to give some advice, but he couldn't bear it, so he said instead: "You, although you are only twenty-two years old, the things you have experienced, the people you have met, the hardships and setbacks you have endured, It’s no less than many hundred-year-old monsters. Sometimes you feel tired or tired...it’s normal. Don’t take it too seriously.”

"As for the perspective, look at the long term. Then you will feel that the obstacles in front of you are not a problem. In fact, it is indeed the case. A person in the secular world lasts seventy or eighty years. A practitioner lives longer. A human immortal can only live for three hundred years. A half-step immortal will have a longer lifespan. Hundreds to thousands of years are fine. Things in the Western Region will only be a few ripples in the remaining thousand years of your life."

Xiao Beichen was stunned for a moment.

Thoughtful.

Yes, what will happen in the Western Regions in the face of thousands of years?

Gulu!

Xiao Beichen took a big sip of strong wine, "I'm either decadent or lonely. I want to take a few sips of wine."

Ice Emperor glanced at Xiao Beichen: "Are you alone? Your family is reunited, and a group of friends are following you and surrounding you. Do you still have the nerve to say it?"

"Look at me, the old demon who stayed behind thousands of years ago. All my relatives and friends have long since disappeared. Now there is only one person left. If you want to say that I am alone...it's me, okay? Please be careful with your words!"

The Ice Emperor's serious statement was quite serious, with a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction.

After getting along for such a long time, the two have long been close comrades-in-arms.

Xiao Beichen smiled bitterly and said: "I understand what you said, but you should also understand what I said. The excitement around me is excitement, and it is a fact that I should not be alone. But I just feel that I am alone... This is also a fact, and you should Do you understand?"

Eh!

Ice Emperor sighed, "I understand. You are different from ordinary people. The mission you shoulder, the responsibility and inheritance you carry are rare in ancient and modern times, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand you. Your heart and soul are actually lonely. .”

Gulu!

Xiao Beichen took a sip of strong drink and said, "Yeah. I don't know since when, I felt like I had entered a lonely world. In this lonely world, some people came, but in the end they all left. Even if Relatives and friends are obviously right in front of you, but you still can't enter my lonely world."

Ice Emperor said: "Your journey is too far, the mountain you climb is too high, and the things you carry are too heavy. Your relatives and friends may be able to understand, but they cannot truly empathize with you. What's more, your next journey, You need to go on your own.”

Xiao Beichen drank the wine one mouthful at a time, feeling the hot feeling in his stomach from the strong wine.

Hyokui continued: "But you are also lucky. There are still people in your lonely world."

Xiao Beichen asked while drinking: "Who is there?"

The Ice Emperor said: "Me, the Queen, and the Empress. These three people will always be in your lonely world."

Xiao Beichen did not deny this.

indeed so.

But Xiao Beichen said again, "It was originally like this. But the empress became a monk, and the empress... also broke off the relationship between master and disciple with me. You are the only one left."

Ice Emperor murmured: "Then you are not lucky enough?"

Xiao Beichen tilted his head and thought for a while, then smiled: "That's right. Come, let's have a few sips together."

He handed the wine jar to Hyokui without any courtesy.

Ice Emperor was stunned for a moment: "I am a woman."

Xiao Beichen said: "True brothers, regardless of gender."

Ice Emperor glanced at Xiao Beichen with disdain, but said nothing. He took the wine jar and drank heavily: "I will give you face. I will meet you in this life and become your magic beast. This is the most worthy thing for me, the Ice Emperor, to boast about. On the Spring Festival night, drinking this jar of wine will herald our future next year." There will be a new beginning.”

Xiao Beichen smiled and said: "Stop talking and drink quickly."

In the pavilion at night, the two of them exchanged cups and cups, and from time to time, bold and unrestrained voices could be heard.

Ice Emperor, a cold magical beast, gradually turned into a little fan girl who talked to Xiao Beichen about everything.

That's right, between words... Ice Emperor revealed his appreciation and respect for Xiao Beichen.

Unknowingly, the night was already deep.

There was a sound of light footsteps, and Ice Emperor noticed it and immediately disappeared, blending into Xiao Beichen's body and falling asleep.

Here comes Xiao Qingtian.

Xiao Beichen immediately stood up and scratched his head: "Father, why are you here?"

Xiao Qingtian brought a bottle of wine, unscrewed the lid, and drank it with Xiao Beichen.

"On the night of the Spring Festival, fireworks and firecrackers are all over the city, making sounds like thunder. I can't sleep, so I came to talk to you. I won't disturb you, right?"

Xiao Beichen felt warm in his heart and said softly: "You are my father, you will not disturb me no matter what."

"Haha, that's good. It's been a long time since we, father and son, drank like this. Come on, let's have a good drink." Xiao Qingtian laughed heartily.

A heavy drink.

At the beginning, both parties were somewhat reserved when talking.

With the release of the truth, there is nothing to talk about.

Xiao Beichen talked about many things in the past, including secrets. And Xiao Qingtian also talked about what happened in Loulan in the Western Region in the past two years.

Of course, it's all trivial matters.

In fact, Xiao Qingtian is not the core of the Yunlan clan in the Western Region. Yunlan can participate in many things on the 19th night, but Xiao Qingtian cannot. After all, he does not have the blood of the Yunlan family and is not a member of the Yunlan family. But Yun Lanshi was very kind to him.

When finally talking about Yun Lan's Nineteenth Night, Xiao Beichen's heart sank.

Missing makes me sick.

I have always felt guilty about myself and worried too much about myself, which caused me to get seriously ill several times.

Listening to these words, Xiao Beichen felt very uncomfortable.

"Father, my mother has never been ashamed of me. It's me who has been ashamed of her."

Xiao Qingtian sighed: "That's what I said too. When the child grows up, he will have his own blessings. But your mother just can't let go. No matter how hard I try to persuade him, it's useless."

Xiao Beichen felt uncomfortable and took a sip of wine, "I'm going to see my mother."

Snapped.

Xiao Qingtian slapped his forehead fiercely and shouted: "Hey, look at my memory, come with me quickly. Your mother asked me to come to you and ask you to stay together. It will be past twelve o'clock soon, I It’s really going to be bad.”

He grabbed Xiao Beichen and ran wildly outside.

……

It's still the same living room where we first met.

It was still the woman in gray plain clothes, sitting cross-legged in the hall. Holding a string of one hundred and eight Buddhist beads in his hand, he counted the beads one by one.

Xiao Beichen and Xiao Qingtian sat on both sides of the woman.

Quietly waiting for time to pass.

Stay up late.

Just waiting for New Year’s Eve.

It is different from the lively scenes in the secular world.

People in the secular world often go to the entrance of some large shopping malls or to the lakeside of the musical fountain on New Year's Eve to watch the fireworks and cheer with thousands of people to welcome the new year.

However, some large families attach great importance to ancestral virtues and pay attention to passing them on from generation to generation. They often stay together in the ancestral hall or living room, facing the memorial tablets of their ancestors, and celebrate the New Year together.

As it is now.

Xiao Beichen looked at the countless spiritual tablets erected on the incense table in front of him and the candlelight flickering above, feeling extremely solemn and sacred.

Yunlan closed her eyes on the 19th night, counted the beads, and spoke softly.

"At twelve o'clock, the bells will ring in Loulan City. After this point, you will officially enter the age of twenty-two."

Xiao Beichen said nothing and waited quietly.

His deep and bright eyes have always been on the spiritual throne.

finally--

Dangdangdang!

Bells rang out that shook the entire Loulan City.

The big bell rings, which means the new year.

Yun Lan Jiuye stood up at this time, holding Xiao Beichen with one hand and Xiao Qingtian with the other. When he came to the incense table, he kowtowed respectfully and knelt before the numerous spiritual tablets above.

Make a big bow.

After finishing all this, Yun Lan let go of her hand on the 19th night and told Xiao Beichen: "Beichen, come, let us two burn incense for our ancestors together."

Xiao Beichen: "Okay."

Incense.

salute.

It is a sign of respect for the ancestors and a family inheritance.

After the ceremony, Yunlan stopped on the 19th night and turned to look at Xiao Beichen: "Beichen, look at the nine layers of the Yunlan family's genealogical spiritual tablets on it. What do you see?"

Xiao Beichen opened his eyes wide and looked up layer by layer.

On the sixth floor from bottom to top, we saw Yun Lantian's spiritual tablet.

Above, there are three more floors.

Xiao Beichen was very surprised when he saw it: "The founder of Daxia Shenfu Sect, the man who escaped from the ancient battlefield. He is only ranked on the fourth rung in the Yunlan family tree. There are three levels above."

From this point, it is not difficult to see that the Yunlan clan has a long history.

The boss from three thousand years ago was only on the fourth level.

How about the bosses on the three floors above?

The seventh floor from bottom to top is Yunlan Palace.

宫？

After Xiao Beichen saw this word, he frowned: "Mother, where does this Yunlan Palace come from?"

Yunlan Jiuye said: "What do you think?"

Xiao Beichen expressed his guess: "Could it be related to Tiangongtai?"

Tiangongtai was once the absolute number one expedition team and the only one that entered the end of the world after the Ancient War. But it disappeared inexplicably a thousand years ago. As for the origin of Tiangong Terrace, it was too long ago. It existed even before the ancient war broke out.

If it is said that Yun Lantian's ancestors are related to Tiangongtai, it is logically possible.

But more of it was Xiao Beichen's intuition.

Yunlan Jiuye said: "You can say that. Yunlan Palace has a very good relationship with the founder of Tiangongtai, and also participated in the establishment of the original Tiangongtai."

what?

Xiao Beichen's head exploded.

It's amazing.

Doesn't it mean that Tiangongtai is related to the Yunlan family?

and many more……

This is the third generation of the Yunlan family.

How about the two generations above... can they still do it?

Xiao Beichen didn't even dare to think about it.

Look up and keep looking up.

In the second row from the top, there is a name carved on the spiritual tablet: Yun Lanxue.

Xiao Beichen racked his brains and couldn't find any relevant information, so he couldn't help but ask: "Who is this?"

Yunlan Jiuye did not hide anything and said deeply: "Have you ever heard of Bodhi Blood?"

Bodhi blood!

Xiao Beichen was extremely shocked again.

How could you not know this?

When I was chatting with Tantai Wen Lingxi before, the core topic was Bodhi blood.

It was said at that time that Xiao Beichen wanted to break through the last level of Tian Mending Technique as soon as possible, and Bodhi Blood was the solution.

Among the oldest explorers in Tiangongtai, one of Bo Ya's predecessors discovered Bodhi blood for the first time in the Western Regions. Later, Ao Fan, the earliest anatomist in the Western Regions, dissected it and discovered the magical effects of Bodhi blood. Later, even the party leader of Tiangongtai recorded the magical uses and origin of Bodhi Blood in his handwritten notes.

Bodhi blood has another name - incomplete Tianque blood.

Xiao Beichen wanted to break through the last level of the Heaven-Mending Technique as soon as possible, pull the Witch God Curse to break through the ninth level as quickly as possible, and even break through the divine palace realm and a series of peak operations. Bodhi blood is the best solution.

Xiao Beichen calmed down and said, "I've heard of it."

Yunlan Jiuye said: "How much do you know about Bodhi Blood?"

Xiao Beichen recounted the conversation between himself and Tantai Wen Lingxi in detail without reservation, and finally said: "That's all I know."

Yunlan Jiuye nodded heavily: "Yes, you know quite a lot. Yes, the Brahma Ya clan with Bodhi blood is the predecessor of the Buddhist Kingdom. The Living Buddha relied on the foundation of the Brahma Ya clan to build the Buddhist Kingdom. In the end He became the agent of the Fanya clan and dominated the Western world. Even the entire Eastern world."

"Yun Lanxue is the ancestor of the Fanya Clan. He was a figure from three thousand years ago. It can be said that the Bodhi Blood of the Fanya Clan in the Western Region was developed by Yun Lanxue."

Xiao Beichen was deeply shocked.

Bodhi blood was actually carried forward by Yunlan blood.

The Yunlan clan has a great background!

Ridiculously big.

No wonder the Four Sects of Great Xia had to move a large number of talents to Chenzhou in the Western Region before the incident. Because the foundation here is too deep.

Before Xiao Beichen could ask any more questions, Yun Lan pointed to the spiritual tablet on the top floor and said, "Look at that spiritual tablet."

Xiao Beichen looked up and saw only one spiritual tablet at the top.

Engraved on it is the most eye-catching name——

Yunlanque.

Seeing this name, Xiao Beichen's pupils shrank.

Especially the word "que" was like a knife, piercing into Xiao Beichen's heart.

Is it...
