Wicked documents

"What's that person's name? Say it again!" Huo Lian demanded.

Did Bai Xinyue start to doubt the name today?of course not.

For thousands of years of life, there are too many people coming and going around, and they have completely seen through life and death, let alone just a name that looks like a symbol.If she hadn't already had doubts about this person, Bai Xinyue wouldn't have had nothing to do to memorize this name for thousands of years.

"Shi Tianjin."

This is the second time I heard these three words, and I could question my ears last time, but this time, Huo Lian had no choice but to accept it no matter what.

The thinking track turned to that side, and then returned to the original position after going around a circle. It was like falling into a strange circle. No matter how I imagined it, the end result was the same.

"Shi Tianjin, Zhuang Jin, and Mr. Shi... Is my associative power a little better? Why can't I connect the three of them together when I hear this name?" Unable to break through the stereotype of thinking, Huo Lian simply stopped looking for other possibilities, and directly expressed his thoughts. According to the usual practice, all such troublesome things should be left to Bai Xinyue.

Bai Xinyue did not answer directly, but chose a roundabout way, "In your opinion, what is Zhuang Jin?"

Of course, this is not asking what Zhuang Jin is, that sounds like a curse.What Bai Xinyue asked was, is Zhuang Jin human?monster?Or what else exists?

"After all, I don't think it looks like a monster." Huo Lian was also worried about it.Judging from the close contact with Zhuang Jin several times before, Huo Lian is more inclined to judge that this is a human being.Only in this way, isn't his theory of wearing the three in a string just now completely shattered?Huo Lian was very upset about this.

"I also think that Zhuang Jin is a human being. Shi Tianjin is also a human being. Even though his family was selected as the aquarium branch, according to my investigation back then, it was only because they were talented in certain aspects. You still Remember the altar seen in the Paradise Island Palace, the sacrificial vessels placed on the four sculptures seem to be made by the Shi family."

In other words, Shi Tianjin's people are so-called craftsmen.

Exquisite craftsmanship is exactly what monsters lack the most. Weapons are one category, and daily utensils are another category.Since it has indestructible claws and fangs, the monster itself doesn't care too much about whether it has any handy weapons.However, the utensils for various purposes have different meanings. The monsters who are gradually accustomed to stability and enjoyment cannot do without the exquisite utensils provided by the Bai people.

Among all kinds of utensils, the status of sacrificial vessels is undoubtedly more special.No matter how much sincerity is preserved in the sacrifice of the monster, it is a tradition left from ancient times after all, even if it is to ensure the brilliance of the face, everything used in the sacrifice must not be sloppy.

Since the Shi family is good at this, it is not unusual for them to be treated as a branch by the Shui tribe.

However, human beings are still human beings after all, and they cannot escape birth, old age, sickness and death.The long years that even monsters can't compete, let alone Shi's family?

This should be the fundamental reason for Bai Xinyue to bury the name "Shi Tianjin" in her heart. Although there are many doubts about this person, he still lacks the most fundamental conditions for achievement——

He shouldn't live so long.

Huo Lian is too lazy to think about this, or it can be said that it is precisely because he doesn't have to worry about the biggest contradiction anymore, he can instead imagine unscrupulously, and the more he thinks about it, the more energetic he becomes. "Since you have the ability to make sacrificial vessels, you should have a good understanding of these mysterious things, right? Speaking of which, the reason why the emperor ordered the high priest to develop the contract is precisely because of the talent of the Shui tribe in this area. If it goes on like this, when the big When the priest's development encounters a bottleneck, isn't Shi Tianjin the best person to discuss with? If this guy is interested, he can use this opportunity to participate."

It is impossible for Hao Yan to seek help from his fellow tribe, the reason is very simple, because the Shui tribe is a real monster, and they will never do things that may harm their fellow tribe.

The same principle also applies to Xi Ran's selection of allies.In a sense, he is probably the loneliest emperor ever.Even though Hao Yan participated in his plan, he may not really agree with and...understand his ideas.

Huo Lian and Bai Xinyue, who were present at the moment, understood the reason for this, so their discussions focused on the Aquarium branch from the very beginning.They agreed that the person who was valued by the high priest was absolutely impossible to come from the Haoyan clan.

But at this moment, what Huo Lian said was gradually losing its edge, Bai Xinyue still patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down. "Until it is confirmed that Shi Tianjin is that person, we should stop speculating like this. If this basis is wrong, it will only make our thinking preconceived, and it will not do any good."

Huo Lian who was interrupted inevitably felt a little disappointed, but he was not a stubborn person who couldn't listen to what he said. Since Bai Xinyue's persuasion was also very reasonable, there was no shame in accepting it.

She held back the momentum of other people's unconstrained style, but Bai Xinyue didn't seem to have the slightest sense of accomplishment.On the contrary, his frown became tighter and tighter, and a dark cloud soon enveloped him.

Huo Lian tilted his head and watched for a while, and found that the other party was about to fall into the rhythm of deep thought.Although he had the experience of being thrown aside before, today, today's Huolian is determined not to be the one who was thrown away inexplicably.

He poked Bai Xinyue's shoulder a few times with his finger, and Huo Lian looked suspicious, "Is there something else you are hiding from me?"

Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted, Bai Xinyue was still a little dazed, and without thinking about it, she said bluntly, "I remembered that I still owe Xiran an explanation."

At this moment, Xi Ran's name suddenly appeared. Although Huo Lian would not be furious, it was still a little unpleasant.But at least he held back his temper, but his voice was a little colder, "Explain? You can tell me."

"One thing happened once. Although Xi Ran never asked me face to face, I know he has always been worried about it." If it was in the past, Bai Xinyue would not be so frank.As he said, even he and Xi Ran have never discussed this matter directly.Bai Xinyue herself thought it was incredible that she could communicate with Huo Lian so calmly now.

Huo Lian raised his eyebrows, his curiosity was aroused.

Of course Bai Xinyue knew that Huo Lian had experienced the illusion of thousands of years ago more than once, but he had no way of knowing exactly what he had seen.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to say roughly, "That was my... first time to establish a military exploit. For this, Xi Ran even decided to award it at the Great Court Meeting. And you also know the original environment, the Monster Beast Dynasty It is impossible for the middle and upper levels to tolerate a humble Baizi making meritorious deeds. But on the day of the Great Court Meeting, a miracle happened. A large part of the middle-level officials in the court did not object to the emperor rewarding me..."

"That's because the night before, a total of seventeen envoys visited the courtiers' homes at night and bought them according to their preferences. The high prices offered by the envoys made the monster officials tempted, but their request was extremely simple. , I just hope that these officials will keep their mouths shut at the next day's court meeting." Huo Lian naturally continued the narration.

Bai Xinyue sighed, "You already know."

Presumably, Huo Lian had already seen clearly the process at that time through the illusion.

"I know." Huo Lian stared at the other party for a long time with extremely complicated eyes.

Even after many years, even though he may not be Xi Ran himself, even from the standpoint of a bystander, Huo Lian still cannot agree with what Bai Xinyue did back then.Even after that, Xiaobai became General Bai, and has been on the rise ever since.

Huo Lian didn't hide his discomfort, so he just said something, "Actually, you didn't have to do this."

Now that she has decided to announce Bai Xinyue's military exploits in public at the court meeting, Xi Ran must have made up her mind to give Bai Xinyue everything she wants no matter what kind of obstruction from the court.

Regarding this point, Huo Lian felt the same way and was [-]% sure.

So Bai Xinyue really didn't need to make such deliberate calculations.

"I didn't do it..." Bai Xinyue smiled self-deprecatingly and sadly, but the smile was bitter no matter how you looked at it. "Even if I talk about this again today, it seems to be justifying myself, but those so-called envoys are indeed not sent by me."

Huo Lian immediately widened his eyes.I can't wait to have a pair of ears again, so that I can hear every word the other party is about to say clearly and clearly.

Huo Lian even thought that if he were Xi Ran at this moment, he would definitely not miss this long-overdue... explanation.

"It is true that I personally prepared the head that I brought to the Great Court Assembly, and that was just to prove that I had indeed quelled the Fenggoushan rebellion, leaving everyone speechless. But I have never bribed courtiers. I've planned it." Bai Xinyue not only sped up her speech, but even her face turned slightly red, and there was an uncontrollable excitement between her brows.

Huo Lian had never seen Bai Xinyue like this before.He suddenly understood that at this moment, Bai Xinyue was not talking to him at all, but looking at the shadow of another person through his body.

Should I be furious?According to the temper of the fire, it is not an exaggeration to pounce on Bai Xinyue to death at this time.

But why can't it fire?Even though he already had the idea of ​​killing this guy alive, Huo Lian just couldn't mobilize even a trace of anger, and only soreness and pain kept spreading in his heart.

Forget it, this time, this guy's wish will be fulfilled.But only this time, let's not take it as an example.

At some point, Bai Xinyue's hands clenched into fists. Judging from the bulging veins on the back of her hands, she must have exerted all her strength. "I never dare to say that my actions are aboveboard. In order to climb up step by step, I have tried my best. But I still have my own bottom line. At least, I will never choose such a dirty business as bribery."

"It's really not you?" Huo Lian muttered to himself, and then quickly patted the other person on the shoulder. "Don't get excited, it's not that I don't believe you. I'm really surprised, who would it be if it weren't for you? Judging from the final results of the Great Court Meeting, you are undoubtedly the final winner. You didn't even show your face, but you took all the benefits. Why does he have a crush on you?"

The last sentence was, of course, a joke made by Huo Lian.But this analysis is not without reason.Doing things all emphasizes a motive, which is only the difference between the size of the purpose or whether it is correct or not.

Bai Xinyue didn't go into a dead end, and changed her mind after leaving, "We can't see the purpose of this person, so we can only change the angle - think about who has the ability to do such a thing in the selection of everyone at that time. What? As far as I know, just visiting Sang Mu'an's family, the reward paid cannot be prepared in a day or two."

Manpower, financial resources, as well as a lot of time, long preparations, and careful layout arrangements... These factors are all indispensable.

"Sorry, I can think of the same person." Huo Lian shrugged his shoulders. "Forget it, it's better not to continue thinking about it, lest you say that I have preconceived ideas."

"Xiran once said something to me before. After thinking about it for so many years, I have never been able to figure out what it means. Today, maybe I have some insights—"

"Oh? What is it?" If you say curious, Huo Lian is really curious.Although Bai Xinyue repeatedly mentioned that Xi Ran would make him unhappy, Huo Lian really wanted to know what kind of wise words that great monster emperor left behind.

"Xi Ran once said that the real enemies who should never die are not monsters and humans, but 'us' and 'them'." These are Xi Ran's original words, verbatim.Bai Xinyue's memory is already excellent, and it is even more impossible for him to remember the words left by Xi Ran.

Huo Lian couldn't understand, "Us? They? What kind of riddle is this?" Well, in terms of mystical skills, in front of the monster emperor, a hundred Huo Lian can only bow down.

It's a pity that Bai Xinyue couldn't give a detailed explanation, even for himself, it was just a sudden flash of inspiration, and it was too late to grasp more things.

Huo Lian's chattering problem broke out at this time, and he was even trying to excuse Bai Xinyue on purpose——

Maybe I wanted to do this a long time ago, but it's a pity that I didn't have the right opportunity.After all, the two of them have different identities, one human and one monster. Unless both of them decide to completely betray their own clan, they cannot turn a blind eye to each other's bad karma.

It's all right now, although it was very unexpected, a "they" suddenly appeared, whether it was a person or a group of people, even if it was another unknown race, Huo Lian was not afraid at all, anyway, he found An object of hatred.

It was probably because of a similar mentality that Huo Lian was so enthusiastic about splashing dirty water on Shi Tianjin or Zhuang Jin.

As long as it's not Bai Xinyue, it's fine.

Even hating is incomplete, Huo Lian really can't imagine how Xi Ran got through this torment.

At least at this moment, Huo Lian was very grateful that he was different from that emperor after all.

That's right, Zhuang Jin did spare no effort to discredit Bai Xinyue, and the crimes listed by the chairman are all well-founded, and almost everyone will be convinced.However, Huo Lian doesn't seem to be included in the scope of this owner.It's not that he is so rational or confident, in the final analysis, it's just that he doesn't want to.

If you continue to regard Bai Xinyue as the culprit, how should you face it?Hatred?

I can't hate with all my heart.

Since he couldn't do it, Huo Lian simply insisted on his usual free and easy, let alone whether he could afford it or not, anyway, when it was time to let it go, he let it go very readily.Since what Zhuang Jin said was not what he liked to hear, he simply ignored it.

This is no longer a matter of acting rashly, but this is precisely Huo Lian's reckless behavior.

Perhaps, this should be exactly what Xi Ran once envied the most, but could never pursue.

Huo Lian's excuse was a complete mess, "Could it be that 'they' provoked even the war to the death of monsters? In fact, monsters and humans have not yet reached the point of endless confrontation? "
