Xie Jingshen held back Bai Xingge when he was completely out of his reach, looked at him for a moment, then turned his head to the demon queen and said, "You know what we want Shenglian for."

"Something can be given to you, and we can also activate it for you. But before you can achieve your goal, you have to let it help you get rid of the death curse on Xing Ge." Xie Jing said coldly, even in this situation, He still clearly remembered Bai Xingge's physical condition.

"Look at me, I almost forgot about this matter." The demon queen raised her red lips again, and agreed very readily, "Of course this request is no problem, Bai Xingge is also my precious descendant of Li Kingdom, As the guardian monster of the Li Kingdom, how could I disregard his safety?"

Bai Xingge moved his lips, stared at Xie Jingshen's back for a long time, and finally swallowed all the words swirling in his throat.

He didn't tell Xie Jing that it was impossible for the Demon Queen to fulfill her promise.

Although the holy lotus is not like a burnable charm, it is a one-time product, but there is an interval for the burst of spiritual power.Clearing a deadly curse cast by a person from the Jingli Kingdom, a deadly curse that only Shenglian can help remove, sounds very simple in operation, but in fact there are certain restrictions.

If the holy lotus is used to get rid of the death curse on him, its flower core will be closed for a short period of time in order to re-condense the spiritual power, which can be regarded as a small price for removing the death curse.

About two or three months, not too long.

However, this is in normal times.

For the current Demon Empress, two or three months is enough to reverse the political affairs a few more times, and she definitely can't afford to wait.As for Bai Xingge, at least two months have passed since he transferred the death curse to himself in Li Country.The death curse did not leave him much time, and neither Bai Yunxi nor he could guarantee whether he would be able to wait for these short three months.

If Xie Jing knew about this, he would soon be able to connect everything together, and would definitely rush forward to fight the Demon Queen to the death.

Bai Xingge had an idea in his heart, in order not to alarm the Demon Queen and the Venerable, he pretended to forget about it first, instead of reminding Xie Jingshen.

Receiving the promise of the raccoon, Bai Xingge shook Xie Jingshen's hand to comfort him before walking in front of the raccoon.Between the two of them, there is only a bronze lotus flower about the size of half a palm.

All the pieces are in place, and from the looks of it there's nothing wrong with it.

However, for holy objects, no problem is the biggest problem.It shouldn't just be like an ordinary lotus ornament, otherwise it wouldn't be chased by so many people.

Bai Xingge pursed his lips and stared at the lotus for a few moments, then raised his hand expressionlessly, and tapped his fingers lightly on the lotus petals.

The originally rigid and lifeless copper lotus seemed to be given life at this moment.The pale white streamer flashed across the lotus, like a fairy's fairy silk, forming a long and gentle arc on each petal.

What is surprising is that the copper lotus, which was pieced together from many fragments, turned into a soft golden lotus in an instant.Even if there is a distance between Bai Xingge and Li Yao, everyone in the basement can clearly see the lotus flower floating in the air. Its petals are swaying slightly, as soft and tender as if they were just picked from the pond. lotus.

Anyone who sees it can't believe that it was still a hard bronze lotus that could kill people when thrown out.

How beautiful and light it looks now.

There was a little excitement in the eyes of the raccoon, Bai Xingge raised his eyes, and continued to tap the golden lotus a few times, watching the streamer on its body become more and more lively.

The raccoon demon didn't know what the process of Shenglian's restart was. At first, she was a little worried that Bai Xingge would deceive her, but now she saw the results and saw that Shenglian had gradually returned to the appearance she remembered, and she relaxed a little. .

It wasn't until Bai Xingge withdrew her fingers with a bland face that she smiled happily again, her eyes turned into monster pupils, the amber pupils reflected the color of Jinlian's body, as if there were little sparks jumping in her eyes.

She raised her hand and flicked her index finger in the direction of Bai Xingge a few times, and then easily sent him back to Xie Jingshen.

The word "send" is actually not appropriate, although she activated Shenglian because of Bai Xingge, and her attitude towards him is quite kind.But no matter how lightly she exerted her strength, it was still not a small strength for Bai Xingge alone. It was thanks to Xie Jingshen that even though he held him in his arms, he didn't let him fall down.

Bai Xingge was a little speechless, rubbing his aching head and sighing: "So I was being carried around like an object? This is really offensive."

Xie Jing bowed his head and kissed him deeply, and when he looked up at him in astonishment, his tense expression relaxed a bit, and then he turned back to the raccoon and said, "Now help Xing Ge get rid of the death curse, and then we will Leave immediately, you can do whatever you like in the Yasukuni Palace, and I will not stay in the palace any longer, Rong Sheng's life is up to you."

Xie Jingshen said it so coldly that the raccoon could not help but distract some of his attention from him, with admiration written in his eyes: "It's a pity, if you are a member of my family, you will not be able to do it today. This disturbance of the world probably has nothing to do with me."

Seeing that Xie Jingshen didn't reply, the raccoon didn't mind. He just spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you. But you are also aware of the current situation in Yasukuni. I urgently need strength to stabilize the government. Wait for me to borrow As Shenglian completes the improvement of my strength, I will fulfill my promise to you."

Bai Xingge leaned into Xie Jingshen's arms and didn't make a sound, but Bai Yunxi couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart: "You and we both know that after using Shenglian, there will be a short period of dormancy, up to three months. You can see my brother's physical condition clearly, he can't wait for the next three months!"

Bai Xingge felt that after Bai Yunxi finished saying that sentence, the hand holding her was stiff, and subconsciously tightened it.He turned his head away with some guilt, but was forcefully pulled back by a callused hand, and was forced to meet those angry black eyes.

Xie Jing's deep breathing became a little heavy, and her suppressed voice was deep and hoarse: "Bai Xingge?"

The subconscious meaning of this name call should be——are you lying to me again?

Bai Xingge immediately retorted: "I didn't lie to you." After a pause, he added, "I just forgot to tell you the premise."

Sure enough, after Xie Jing looked at him deeply aggrieved for a while, he let go of his shoulders and was about to rush towards the raccoon, but he pulled him down forcefully: "Don't—"

Just wait, just wait.

Bai Xingge stared at him, pursed his lips tightly, did not say what was in his heart, but only conveyed it with his eyes, hoping that Xie Jingshen could understand.

He didn't know whether Xie Jingshen had received the hint he wanted to express, the anger around the other party obviously hadn't dissipated, but at least he didn't continue to break free from his obstruction, and just stood there like a wooden stake, motionless.

The suddenly intensified light on the side hurt their eyes and captured their attention in an instant.Both of them turned their heads, and saw that the raccoon demon in red had already started using the holy lotus to cast spells.

The golden brilliance floated slowly from the holy lotus to her along with the spiritual power, and turned into countless threads, gradually wrapping around her body like a cocoon.

Although Xie Jingshen didn't move anymore, Bai Xingge could feel that he was holding his hand unconsciously and increased his strength, holding him tighter and tighter.He fixed his eyes on the raccoon who was casting a spell, not wanting to miss any details.

Bai Xinge suddenly laughed.

It turned out that Xie Jing deeply understood what he wanted to convey.

Bai Xingge took the opportunity to scratch his palm with his fingers, Xie Jingshen's eyes still did not leave the raccoon, but his hand was slightly loosened.

"So, this is the spiritual power of the holy lotus..." The raccoon demon's eyes reflected the golden lotus, and his expression gradually became obsessed.

She couldn't hold back from reaching out to Shenglian, as if she wanted to touch it, and whispered: "It's so warm, so this is the breath of your primordial spirit...?"

The smile on the raccoon demon's face hadn't fully spread yet, but suddenly there was a tinge of pain, and the unfinished words turned into a painful moan.She frowned slowly, and raised her hand to tightly grasp the skirt of her chest, as if doing so would make herself feel better.

Confusion, shock, disappointment, pain and entanglement, all mixed together.She stared at the lotus in front of her in disbelief. Although she stretched out her hand vigorously, she was a little away from reaching it, but she had no strength to move forward without being distracted for the time being.

She was gasping for breath, and her words were broken and incomprehensible: "Why... I feel so much pain despite being so gentle and warm?"

The radiance flowing on the holy lotus is still flowing towards the demon core on her body, even though she has begun to reject the spiritual power, the radiance still has no intention of stopping.Bai Xingge looked at the raccoon who was almost untenable by the sudden turning point, feeling a little emotional and complicated.

Since the person who made the holy lotus realized that if this thing was refined by a goblin, it would lead to an irreparable end, naturally they had already figured out a way to deal with it.

Bai Xingge didn't stay in Li Country for a long time, and when he left, he wasn't old enough to learn and understand the knowledge related to Shenglian, so he shouldn't have known about it.Thanks to the fact that in order to deal with the death curse on Xie Jingshen, they went to Li Kingdom, and he discovered the library under the pavilion, so they inadvertently read the relevant records.

The book was put together with the base of the holy lotus at that time, and he felt that the contents inside might be helpful in the later stage, so he took some time to write them down.

One of them was to teach him how to adjust the spiritual power of Shenglian.Perhaps in order not to be easily seen through when acting, the adjustment method is unexpectedly simple.It happened that Shenglian had been disassembled and needed to be restarted, which made it easier for him to do it.

The raccoon really didn't see any difference in the gestures he made when restarting Shenglian.

In fact, if the raccoon hadn't been obsessed with the power of Shenglian immediately, and she still insisted on choosing to absorb its spiritual power even though she knew that the death curse on him would not last until Shenglian's next reincarnation, then nothing would happen. will happen.

The raccoon demon obviously realized the situation at hand, stared at the lotus in mid-air in pain for a while, then suddenly raised his head and looked straight at him.

Bai Xingge was only taken aback for a moment, before his brain even had time to think, his eyes suddenly went dark.

The surrounding sounds faded abruptly, and after his vision was plunged into darkness for a moment, a spot of light suddenly appeared again.

In the empty illusion, the figure of the raccoon gradually appeared.Different from the 'demon queen' he saw in Yasukuni, the raccoon demon wore a black girlish bun and a white fairy-like dress. She danced lightly with silk gauze and even exuded a faint fragrance.

Bai Xingge felt that this should be the appearance of the raccoon when he was still in Li Country.

The chaos of the outside world was isolated by this layer of illusion. In the silence, only they, a man and a monster, were left looking at each other.The makeup on the face of the white-clothed raccoon standing in front of him was much lighter than when she was the queen, and she looked younger, as if she was just a girl in her twenties.

Although her actual age is much older than this number.

The expression on her face was no longer obsessed with power, but a little more helpless and sad.

"He's right. I shouldn't think about Shenglian's spiritual power. It's not something I can accept." The peaceful voice of the raccoon rang out in the illusion, and it sounded a lot more ethereal.

After the raccoon finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Bai Xingge's reaction, but slowly turned his head to look aside.Bai Xingge followed her away, and then saw a forest where the two of them were looking.

The rain was pouring heavily, and he saw a gray-white civet cat whose fur was completely wet by the raindrops, stepping on the dirt road made of fallen leaves and puddles, running fast in the forest.The sound of thunder was like a mountain being blown up, and there was the sound of rolling boulders falling, which was terrifyingly loud.

The thunderbolt landed where the civet cat ran, as if chasing it forward, and accidentally hit a few big trees in the process, leaving black lightning marks on them.

The little civet cat ran fast, but it was no match for the speed of the thunder and lightning.Even if it dodges and then leaves, it will inevitably be hit by a few lightning strikes.When the last thunder fell, it was almost unable to walk, and dragged its body to the limit to hide in a tree hole.

The thunderclouds cleared and the weather cleared up shortly after.

Bai Xingge didn't know how long it had been since he saw a man suddenly appear in the forest.He was wearing a moon-white robe and a light gray cloak. The corners of his lips seemed to be smiling naturally. Even if he didn't show any expression, the corners of his mouth would rise slightly, giving people the illusion of being very close.

The man seems to be loved by the animals. He walked all the way, holding a pale golden lotus in his hand, followed by a deer, a rabbit, and even a hedgehog whose thorns had softened.

It was he who found the raccoon who was seriously injured and unconscious in the tree hole, and took it away. It was not until the screen jumped to the familiar palace that Bai Xingge realized that this man was probably the one who rescued the raccoon back then and let her Ancestors who have established a karmic connection with Li Country.

"Your Highness, Third Prince, you are picking up the injured animal again!" Bai Xingge heard the guard who greeted the man sigh, and finally said, "Your Highness, the fate of this animal really amazes us."

"Young poor." The man known as the third prince said with a smile to the smiling guards. He seemed to be a highness who had no pretensions.

He smiled mysteriously at the guard who looked familiar to him: "I think the rescue this time is quite special."

The one who rescued the raccoon was the third prince of Li Kingdom at that time, a man who was particularly indifferent to the world.Although he is a prince, he spends most of his time not only reading books, but also walking in the forest near the main city. Over the years, he has saved many animals, so all the animals in the forest like him.

He obviously knew that what he rescued was a monster, but not only did he not mind it, but he was also not worried about whether he would suffer backlash after raising the other party well.

The kindness of the third prince was rewarded. Because the raccoon was grateful to him, he took the initiative to stay and expressed that he would protect him and the country of Li.The third prince was unwilling to accept it at first, not because he cared about the demon body of the raccoon, but because he felt that it would be equivalent to trapping her in this small world, restricting her cultivation and development and freedom.

However, the raccoon, who was still very straightforward and innocent at the time, didn't care. He only wanted to repay the good man who saved him from the brink of death, so he insisted on staying.Seeing that she was so determined, the third prince no longer stopped her, and only said that if one day she wanted to leave, she could leave on her own.

Unexpectedly, she stayed for hundreds of years, even after the third prince passed away for a long time, she did not leave.It's just that after the third prince passed away, she rarely appeared in front of people, and spent most of her time in the forest where she was rescued by the third prince.

Bai Xingge saw many things about the raccoon and the third prince in the illusion, and also saw some ancestors he had only seen in the form of souls.The third prince was among them, even after death, he didn't stay like the others, and he was still able to see him.

He had been psychic since he was a child, and he had seen all those dead ancestors at a young age, but the handsome appearance of the third prince was unfamiliar to him.

The third prince is a very mature, stable, gentle and kind man, even if he only sees a few faces in the illusion, Bai Xingge has a surprisingly good impression of him.He thought that such a man should be very attractive in the palace at that time.

The only thing that makes people lament and pity is his born sick and weak body.As long as you catch a cold, you can lie in bed for a month without getting up.

The raccoon was rescued by him and stayed with him most of the time, and even went out with him to help him take care of the small animals in the forest.Compared with the mature and deep look she had seen in Yasukuni, the raccoon at that time was simply a lively, lovely and innocent little girl.

Before the death of the third prince, Shenglian was just an ordinary magic weapon in his hands, so there would not be so many ridiculous rumors about it, it was a holy thing that people could only dream of.

Seeing him holding the lotus, Bai Xingge said to the raccoon briskly, "I am very satisfied with this work of mine, but before I die, it should only be an ordinary magic weapon."

Bai Xingge only found out about this matter after he went to the Library Pavilion under Li Country.

It turns out that the holy lotus is just an ordinary magic weapon that can be used to protect the body, heal fairies and ghosts, or help people expel diseases.It wasn't until after the death of the third prince that he poured his own soul into the holy lotus with spiritual power, and merged with it, that there was such a powerful holy thing that seemed to be able to solve everything.

This is why, Bai Xingge has never seen him among the ghosts of his ancestors.

The third prince died very early, and passed away due to physical reasons after spending more than ten years with the raccoon.He should have been in his forties when he died, and he survived until that time with the help of Li Yao, but his appearance didn't look much different from him in his twenties.

Time seems to have forgotten him and left no trace on him.

Looking at the scene in the illusion that after the death of the third prince, Yuanshen and Jinlian merged to form the current holy lotus, Bai Xingge suddenly felt blessed and understood something.

He withdrew his gaze from the fully fused holy lotus, and looked at the calm raccoon again: "So, is this another reason why you are so persistent and get the lotus?"

You can't hide your love for someone.

Although the raccoon didn't say anything, even in the vision in the illusion, she and the third prince never talked about this matter, but as a bystander, he could see that the two people had similar feelings.

They both liked each other, but at the moment when the third prince died, no one said anything about it.

Because they all knew from the very beginning that transvestites have different paths.The third prince is a human after all, even if he is healthy and can live to be eight years old, but that age is just a snap of the fingers for the Yaozu.

In particular, his primordial spirit will merge with Shenglian after his death. This is a plan he had already made before meeting the raccoon, and even after his death, he never wavered.

No one can make any promises to anyone, so they can only put away this feeling silently.

The third prince originally planned to hand Shenglian directly to the raccoon, even if she wanted to leave in the future, she could take it with her.But before he died, he changed his mind and only advised her: "I was wrong. I estimated that the power of its final effect is not what you can bear."

"It can steer you off the path you've chosen, and I don't want that to ruin that."

"The road is long and the years are far away, but it is also very good."

There is no rush in practice, you can't reach the sky in one step, and it's good to walk steadily step by step.

The raccoon listened to him the most. According to his orders, she did not touch the holy lotus after his death, and only handed it over to the royal family of Li Kingdom for safekeeping.If it weren't for those things that happened in Li country later, she might be able to keep this agreement well.

"I was greedy." The raccoon replied, "In various senses."

In order to avenge the Li country, she wanted to take a shortcut and touched the forbidden fruit.In order to be able to be with her beloved in another way, she still made a wrong choice at the end.

"This technique must have been left by him for this day." The raccoon said softly, and tears suddenly rolled down the corners of her eyes, turning her into tears. "It's painful, but it's also very gentle."

Perhaps the Third Prince had foreseen the future in a dream many years ago.He didn't mention it, he just quietly kept back, and tried to remind the raccoon as much as possible in his lifetime to prevent her from walking on this path.

However, fate twists and turns, and good fortune tricks people.

Bai Xingge was silent and wanted to say how to comfort him, but he saw a white soft light glowing on the body of the white-clothed raccoon standing in front of him.

His eyes were slightly opened, and his voice was tense and helpless: "Why are you doing this?"

The original source of the raccoon actually chose to self-destruct the demon pill!

In fact, the spell left by the third prince that can prevent the big demon from using the holy lotus to boost his spiritual power will at most cause the raccoon to lose a thousand years of cultivation and return to the body of an ordinary raccoon cat.If she wants to, she can start over from the beginning, and even make another choice, but it is time-consuming and very opportunistic.

It was indeed like a way out that the third prince deliberately left for her.

But using the demon pill to do this kind of self-destructive action will tear her soul apart.This is not only death, but also the spiritual wisdom and primordial spirit that she had managed to obtain will disappear together and cease to exist.

Following the impact on the raccoon itself, Bai Xingge became dizzy again, and the scene in front of him faded like a tide again.It took him a while to finally regain his consciousness. When he opened his eyes, he found that he had fallen to the ground, and most of his body was supported by Xie Jing's arms.

The worry in Xie Jingshen's eyes was a little more pleasant after he woke up, and he waved to him: "I'm fine, I'm not hurt, don't worry."

The first time Bai Xingge woke up, he looked for the figure of the raccoon, and found that she was holding a golden lotus in her hand, and she was already lying on the ground, with blood flowing out of her mouth with her light cough.

Bai Yunxi didn't expect that things would develop to this point, she looked at everything in front of her in astonishment, and when she saw Bai Xingge woke up, she asked, "What's going on? You guys just started fighting?"

"I'll explain to you later." Bai Xingge shook his head and replied.

The raccoon lay down on the ground in pain, the feeling of being destroyed by the demon core was not good, her body had even begun to lose consciousness, only the palm holding the golden lotus could still slightly feel the warmth from it.

The tears on her face slid down her cheeks and mixed with the blood in her mouth, but there was a painful smile on her mouth: "You ask me, why bother."

"Because it doesn't make any sense anymore," she said with difficulty.

"Before I met him, I had killed people and done many bad things, that's why Lei Jie is so serious."

"Because of him, I chose to change, and I chose a more difficult path."

The raccoon's eyes were tightly locked on the lotus in the palm of his hand, his eyes gradually became slack, and the remaining consciousness was still trying to catch the streamer on it, his tears became more and more violent, and he could no longer maintain the forced smile on his face: "Even if we can do it all over again now, I will never meet another one of him."

The last gleam of brilliance in the amber demon pupils dissipated with the loss of demon energy, Bai Xingge looked at the demon energy in the air that had turned into countless orange-red light spots, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart for no reason.

The raccoon demon gave everything he had, and in exchange for the short time when he touched the holy lotus, he also completely ruined his demon life.

Although Fanghua only lasted for a moment, it was the dream she had hoped for most of her life.

Bai Xingge squatted on the ground silently, watching the radiance of Shenglian wrapping around the raccoon as her demonic power gradually dissipated into the air, as if trying to catch something, but was destined to be unable to catch it .

It can only watch them pass through its body, the light and shadow gradually fade away, and after flying into the air, it slowly falls down, like scattered moonlight, paving the ground.

The golden lotus flower sat alone on the ground after the raccoon corpse completely disappeared, its soft petals swayed slightly, it seemed to be sentimental, and it seemed to be a sigh.

It is powerful.

But also lonely.

Bai Xingge closed his eyes and panted slightly, trying to ignore the slight stabbing pain in his heart.

After all, the raccoon had coexisted with Li Kingdom for hundreds of years.

The sad and heavy atmosphere is destined to be unable to last for too long because of the existence of individual people.
