There is a commander in the family, deep well ice
Chapter 1 (18)
A broken human face jade pendant.
Shi Luoxue's hand clinging to the teacup trembled, and hot tea spilled on her hand.She put down the teacup, gracefully withdrew her hand, and looked at the three things quietly without speaking.
"Tell me." Bai Yu spoke, with three words without beginning and end, but his tone was very firm.
He was sure that Shi Luoxue had known for a long time that there were people from the group of monks in the central world.Otherwise, the Luoshui Snow Country could not be built so quickly - Bai Yu can still handle what Shi Luoxue is capable of.
"There's nothing to say." Shi Luoxue raised her head and looked at Bai Yu without fear: "Unless you convince me that he is really the domain master."
"Are you negotiating terms with me?"
Shi Luoxue smiled lightly, and said lightly: "Since I decided to come to Bermuda City, I didn't intend to go back alive. And you invited me to come to Bermuda City, you must have something to ask for. I can't live or die, but what you ask for The news must be more expensive than my life."
Bai Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the majestic spiritual pressure poured out unreservedly, digging the air in the room like a mountain pressing down on the top.
"Crack." The furniture in the room couldn't stand the coercion, and made an unbearable cracking sound.Shi Luoxue also bent down, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, but she curled her mouth and looked at Bai Yu stubbornly, as if mocking Bai Yu—you won't kill me.
She guessed right, Bai Yu would not kill her.
Bai Yu withdrew the spiritual pressure, and looked at Shi Luoxue quietly: "If you have anything to do with these things, I will definitely make your life worse than death. You can spend the rest of your life to take care of the lives of more than 600 monsters back then." Feel their resentment."
Shi Luoxue's face turned pale, and her expression finally showed pain. She smiled miserably and said, "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will remember all the sins I committed. I never expected to be forgiven by anyone."
"Bang!" At this moment, the door of the room was knocked open, and a long sword stabbed in before the person came, but before it could get close to Bai Yu, it suddenly flew out in the air.And Bai Yu didn't even move a finger.
Hearing the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him, Bai Yu turned his head and took a look.It is Stone Forest.
Shi Lin fell to the ground, and a white thing slipped out from the skirt.Bai Yu's eyes froze, and he waved his hand towards the void, and the thing seemed to be pulled into Bai Yu's hand as if being pulled by a thread.
It was a jade pendant, a jade pendant with a human face.The human face is different from the one found on Luo Qing's body. The eyes of this human face are half opened, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, showing a very peaceful expression.But their jade qualities are the same.
Murderous aura suddenly arose, but Shi Luoxue suddenly appeared in front of Bai Yu: "Commander!"
Bai Yu looked at her, and his killing intent almost turned into substance, which made Shi Luoxue tremble all over.
"Commander, I still say the same thing." Shi Luoxue stood with her back braced, looked at Bai Yu and said, "My life is worth nothing, but if you can't make me sure that Ling Gu is the domain master, then Even if I die, you will never hear useful news from me. Commander-in-Chief, I know more than you can imagine."
Bai Yu sneered, retracted his five fingers, and the human face jade pendant turned into powder and slipped from his fingers.
"Not only do you know a lot, you also do a lot." Bai Yu looked at her coldly and said, "I underestimated you, but I didn't expect you to be such a wolf-hearted dog."
Shi Luoxue's face turned pale, and then she suddenly laughed out loud: "I thought you could understand it 300 years ago."
"300 years ago, I only saw a stupid woman, but now, I see a hypocrite who is swallowed by darkness and claims to be a victim. You said you don't expect forgiveness from anyone, joke."
Bai Yu sneered: "You have been expecting to be forgiven. You want to make sure that Ling Gu is Fei Yang, isn't it just to get Ling Gu's forgiveness? Because you know that Fei Yang... will always forgive you."
Shi Luoxue bit her lower lip, trembling and did not speak.
Bai Yu shook off the powder from his hands, and took a last look at Shi Luoxue: "Ling Gu has no memory, but I have already told him what happened 300 years ago, do you know what he said?"
Shi Luoxue's body trembled, and she couldn't help taking a step back.
But Bai Yu didn't tell Shi Luoxue the answer. He killed his expression and said, "I don't know what kind of deal you have with those people, and I don't know how much you have achieved. But you are right about one thing, let you come Bermuda City, I really didn't intend to let you live well, there are too many things in this world that are more painful than death."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left. When he passed by Shi Lin, he raised his hand.A whirlwind wrapped in snowflakes suddenly appeared, rolling the stone forest and hitting the courtyard wall.The stone wall collapsed suddenly, and only the two legs of the stone forest could be seen hanging on the broken wall, lifeless.
Bai Yu didn't kill him because he still needed to stabilize Shi Luoxue.However, it is always possible to impose a small punishment.
As for whether she would be passive in the showdown with Shi Luoxue, Bai Yu didn't think it would be - Shi Luoxue was not a great talent, she was just an ordinary woman who became someone else's wife and mother.Thousands of lives put her on a heavy shackles back then. Even if she still had contact with those monks, she would never participate in more core matters.And those monks didn't necessarily believe her.
73. Chapter [-]
Although Bai Yu didn't touch Shi Luoxue, it didn't mean he let her go.With Mu Ying around, the surveillance of Shi Luoxue was completely out of the question.
When Bai Yu returned to the commander-in-chief's mansion, it was almost noon, and Ling Gu's headache finally eased, and he was sitting cross-legged on the bed eating snacks.Seeing Bai Yu coming in, Ling Gu jumped up suddenly, trying to cover up the quilt that was stained with food crumbs.
Bai Yu glanced at it, shook his head, stepped forward to take the plate in Ling Gu's hand and said, "It's time for lunch soon. Have you tried Xifu?"
"I've tried it, it looks pretty good." Ling Gu smiled, the crimson wedding dress was imitated of the commander's military uniform, when he put it on and looked in the mirror, Ling Gu couldn't help being narcissistic for a while.
"It's fine if you like it. Let's go to Xitang after lunch. The snow is thick outside, so wear more clothes when you go out."
"Is it snowing?" Ling Gu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately ran out, ran out of the inner room to the door of the dormitory, looked at the world of pink makeup and jade outside the door, the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.
Bai Yu followed out with a big cloak, wrapped Ling Gu in it, and said helplessly, "I told you to wear more."
"Snow. I haven't seen such a heavy snow in front of my house." Ling Gu said stupidly.
doorstep.
Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then put his head on Ling Gu's shoulder with a gentle smile, and said softly, "Let's go play with you in the snow later."
"Okay." Ling Gu was overjoyed.
"Boom-long-"
Ling Gu's smile was still on his lips, and suddenly there was a deafening thunder, and then the commander's mansion was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and black clouds piled up layer by layer, and soon became thick ink.With the sound of muffled thunder, rays of light hovered and shuttled in the clouds, as if several giant dragons were coiled among them.
"Clap-pop-"
When the clouds condensed into a whirlwind column, a bolt of purple lightning suddenly tore through the clouds and crashed down.The ground trembled, the tables and chairs rattled in fear, and the cups and saucers collided with each other, causing tiny cracks.
The entire city of Bermuda was in panic, and the citizens looked up one after another. When they saw the vision on the top of the commander's mansion, they either ran back home and closed the door, or knelt on the spot and prayed to God. Show mercy.
However, the eyes of many elderly people are full of fear - 20 years ago, on the eve of the dark day, it was this kind of purple thunder that disrupted the aura of the central world, wild beasts rioted, vegetation grew wildly, and wild beasts attacked ...
The bright red lanterns were blown away by the strong wind and fell to the ground again. The festive red lanterns in the city were defeated miserably.That cloud seemed to cover the entire city of Bermuda.
However, some people are very happy about it.
In a courtyard outside Wanjia City, Ma Wanlong looked at the purple lightning that kept shooting down in the sky, his face became paler: "This is the thunder tribulation that the monks crossed the tribulation? Is it something like this in the dark day?"
Compared to Ma Wanlong's panic, Wanlu, who had seen the dark day, was calm and complacent, and even had a little joy in his eyes: "How could such a thing be possible? The scene back then... was thunderous, overshadowing all the sounds of time; The purple lightning is as strong as a house, and when it hits the ground, it seems to split the earth; and the dark cloud, how can this small piece be compared, it can be said to block out the sky, and the daytime directly becomes Dark night!"
There was a look of madness in Wanlu's eyes, and he reminisced about the dark day that everyone wanted to forget, "That is such a privilege that such a powerful monk can have. After overcoming the thunder calamity, it is just around the corner to ascend to immortality!"
Ma Wanlong has long been used to Wanlu's nervousness, and he knows something about Wanlu.It is said that Wanlu fell from a world dominated by technology. He is an iron smelter, so he is good at quenching iron ore, and quickly took control of the iron line of Bermuda City.However, he is not a good person. Ma Wanlong has seen Wanlu inhaling a strange kind of smoke these days. Although he has never seen it before, he also knows that these things are similar to the "bliss powder" he knows.
A junkie.
Although Ma Wanlong had contempt for Wanlu, but it was a cooperative relationship after all, so he couldn't show it.
"That is to say, this thing won't cause dark days?" Ma Wanlong heaved a sigh of relief. He had never experienced dark days, but it didn't prevent him from feeling fearful about those dark days.
"Of course not." Wanlu rolled his eyes and suddenly looked back at Ma Wanlong with a smile like a gutter mouse that has seen delicious cheese: "Although it won't, we can make it do."
Ma Wanlong was startled and shouted: "What do you want to do? Although I hate the beasts in the commander's mansion, I don't want to let Bermuda fall into the quagmire!"
"Oh." Wan Lu sneered, extremely disdainful of Ma Wanlong's "cowardice", but he just smiled and waved his hands: "Brother Ma, you worry too much, Bermuda City is a big piece of cheese, how could I eat it by myself?" Let it be contaminated before the next bite."
Ma Wanlong frowned, but his tone softened: "Then what's your plan?"
Wan Lu chuckled: "Although I know this will not lead to a dark day, the citizens of Bermuda City will not. You, who have never experienced a dark day, can think of a dark day. Then you say, those experiences What about the people who have been there?"
Ma Wanlong's mind turned quickly, and he quickly tasted something: "You mean..."
"Now that the purple thunder has landed in the commander's mansion, why don't we go along with the flow and attribute the thunder calamity back then to the commander's mansion?" After Wan Lu finished speaking, Ma Wanlong's eyes lit up immediately, and he already understood.
Ma Wanlong said excitedly: "That's right, everyone knows that the commander of Bermuda City is extremely capable, and his cultivation base is even more unfathomable, so even in the city closest to the Eastern Beast Kingdom, there is not a single wild beast in the Eastern Beast Kingdom who dares to fight!" Come to harass me. The thunder calamity 20 years ago was caused by him, which is completely justified!"
Wan Lu saw that Ma Wanlong's head had finally come to light, and he also showed a smile: "So, before the thunder fell, we would be cast aside and scolded by the city residents when we resisted the commander-in-chief, because the commander-in-chief was what the people wanted, and we came from an unknown teacher. But now, our salt The iron shops have been closed for a few days, and the citizens of the city have already started to be impetuous, and then they released news that the dark day was caused by Bai Yu's crossing, and the thunder that fell recently hit the commander-in-chief's mansion directly!"
Ma Wanlong clapped his fists and showed a very sharp smile: "That's right! The city people will believe it. At that time, the prestige of the commander-in-chief's mansion will plummet, and he will become a demon from a savior. Then we will be famous and petition for the city people." , maybe even drive those bastards from the Shuai Mansion out of Bermuda City!"
Wan Lu pointed his finger in the air, and said with a smile, "That's the truth. What the people want is justice."
Ma Wanlong couldn't wait: "Then when will we start to act?"
"Now." Wan Lu pursed his lips and said, "While the thunder disaster is still going on, what we say will be more credible. You know, although the commander-in-chief has a high prestige, but the shadow of the dark day is still in the hearts of the citizens. Worse. And..."
Wan Lu said and looked at Ma Wanlong: "You cried and complained about your son's tragic death, which was caused by wild beasts, but the commander-in-chief protected the wild beasts. At that time, no one believed you, what about now?"
Mentioning the death of his two sons, Ma Wanlong's eyes turned red, hatred and sadness burned his reason.
"Now, I want to let those city residents know what kind of thing the commander-in-chief of Bermuda City is!"
Language can also be sharper than the sword and poisonous.As long as someone with a heart guides you, if you tell a lie thousands of times, it will become true.
Ma Wanlong made up his mind, and immediately rode his horse back to the city without pretending to be someone else's hand.
Wanlu watched Ma Wanlong leave with a smile on his lips.At this time, a tall figure came out from the corner. It was a wild beast and one of Beast Lan's guards.
Without the slightest panic, Wan Lu said with a chuckle, "Look, we will overfulfill the task if we win Bermuda City. You princes, don't forget our benefits."
The wild beast sneered: "Let's talk about it after you take it down. Ma Wanlong is an idiot, so keep an eye on it."
"Of order." Wan Lu saluted exaggeratedly, then raised his head, looked at the wild beast with longing eyes, stretched out his hand and said, "Where is the thing?"
The wild beast took out a paper bag wrapped in layers from its arms and threw it to Wanlu. Wanlu hurriedly caught it with both hands, impatiently brought it to the tip of his nose, and took a deep breath.
"Ah~" Wanlu let out a voice of enjoyment, as if what he smelled was the immortal medicine.
"Thank you, Prince." Wan Lu saluted again, and then ignored the wild beast.He took out a set of weird utensils from a drawer in the room, opened the paper bag, took a little powder out of it with a gold spoon, and put it on the utensils. When the fire was lit, a little white smoke rose up.The white smoke was very strange, it did not dissipate in the air, but was shaped like a spirit snake, coiling in the void until Wan Lu inhaled it.
"Ah!" Wanlu made a high-pitched voice, rolling his eyes with excitement.
The wild beast stared at Wan Lu and sneered, then walked away.
Ling Gu and Bai Yu didn't know about the coming storm, but Ling Gu was also frightened by the scene.
"This lightning calamity must be an intermediate cultivation level, who in the commander's mansion has passed the calamity?" Ling Gu turned to look at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Nine times out of ten, it's Xiao Wu."
Ling Gu was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Ah, yes, you said earlier that the little crow was about to shed its shell. You also said that its shell can be made into a spiritual weapon."
"Well, if it's done, it might be a disaster." Bai Yu said.
"Mine!" Ling Gu immediately seized the opportunity, squinted and looked around at Huang Pangpang and the others, and said, "No one is allowed to grab me."
Huang Pangpang and others naturally smiled and nodded, but Mu Ying looked at Ling Gu with a smile: "Little bone, do you know how to make a mysterious turtle shell into a spiritual weapon?"
Ling Gu: "...There will always be a way."
"The Unnamed Book." Bai Yu reminded, "The Unnamed Book is the spiritual weapon you refined and used to record events back then, and the demon pattern formation was also stored."
Ling Gu's eyes lit up, he closed his eyes eagerly, and shouted in his head: "Unnamed Book~Xiao Mingming~Xiao Shushu~"
After a while, a child's voice sounded, with a strange tone, as if he was choking on something: "Master, just call me Untitled Book."
"Oh, don't be so ignorant, Xiao Ming." Ling Gu narrowed his eyes with a smile, and began to communicate with the nameless book in his mind, leaning on Bai Yu.
The unnamed book from Xiao Ming to Xiao Ming: "..."
74. Chapter [-]
Ling Gu asked Wumingshu: "Do you have the records I saved about the demon pattern formation?"
The voice of the unnamed book sounded in Ling Gu's mind: "There are a few atlases. But with your current cultivation, master, you can only give you the most basic atlases."
Ling Gu was a little disappointed: "That's equivalent to useless."
"No. Back then, when the master classified maps, they classified them according to the level of danger. Now the master is not cultivated enough, so in order to avoid the counterattack of the formation, he can only give you the most basic map, which is the lowest level of danger. The defense that the master wants Sexual formations are also included, refining the mysterious turtle shell is no problem."
Because the Unnamed Book is the hub connecting Ling Gu to the domain, it can actually "see" Ling Gu's words and deeds.
Ling Gu didn't notice this at all, he was overjoyed and said: "That's great, give it to me."
In the next second, there was a thread-bound silk book in Ling Gu's hand.The book cover is made of wood, with the words "Low-Level Formation" written on it, in a font... as if chewed by a dog.
"You wrote this yourself." Bai Yu's laughing voice sounded in his ear, as if he remembered something happy, and asked, "How is your handwriting doing now?"
Ling Gu was not embarrassed at all, and said lightly: "What's the use of good words, I just draw it well."
Bai Yu laughed, and stopped poking at Linggu's fault, and said, "Let's eat first. Xiao Wu's thunder calamity is still an hour away."
Ling Gu had no objection, he put the atlas into his arms, wrapped it in a cloak and said to Huang Pangpang: "I want to eat salted duck, and I also want sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root and marinated eggs."
"Okay, son." Huang Pang ran away mellowly.
An hour later, the thunder finally stopped, and the dark clouds hovering over the commander-in-chief's mansion dissipated, revealing a light gray sky, and fine snowflakes fell from the sky, adding another layer to the world that was already covered in silver. white.
"Is Xiaowu all right? Why didn't you hear anything?" Ling Gu asked Bai Yu worriedly as he went to the back garden when the dark clouds cleared.
Bai Yu shook his head: "The black tortoise is a spirit beast, even if it is a side branch, it is very powerful. This kind of lightning calamity is more like a coming-of-age ceremony for them than a catastrophe."
Ling Gu nodded, and while they were talking, they also came to the place where Xiao Wu was robbed.The back garden is still green and grassy, and the four seasons are like spring; but the water pool is like purgatory—the water pool has dried up, and the trees, rocks, and land have turned into a scorched black color, and the smell of over-burning things fills this space , and the swirling smoke hadn't had time to dissipate.
Ling Gu looked terrified, frowned and said, "Why didn't I hear Xiao Wu's voice?"
"When the black tortoise moults, it will return to the state of a palm-sized baby turtle and sleep." Bai Yu explained for him: "Let's get closer when the smoke clears, so as not to step on it. Then in the next month, it will grow It has doubled in size before crossing the catastrophe."
"Ah!" Ling Gu suddenly had a headache: "That must be a small hill."
"Master." At this time, the voice of the unknown book sounded again, with some imperceptible excitement: "It can be raised in the domain. The domain has no size, and it can be controlled by the master's will. Raising a black turtle is not a problem. .”
Ling Gu smiled: "This is successful. Hey, the smoke has cleared, and I can see the shell!"
In the middle of the pool, a huge empty tortoise shell lay quietly there.After experiencing the Zilei Tribulation, its turbid air was split, revealing the original gold and copper texture of the tortoise shell, and the pattern of the flying snake became clearer and more vivid, as if if you stretch out your hand, you will be bitten by them.
Ling Gu walked over cautiously, probed into the tortoise shell, and then took out a small thing from inside—Little Ubi Ling Gu was bigger than a palm, his limbs and head were tender and white with powder, and the tortoise shell was as golden in color Ink, the whole looks like it is carved out of jade and metal.At this time, it was sleeping, but it did not withdraw its limbs and head. It had two big eyes bulging under its eyelids, which was very cute.
Before Ling Gu could appreciate it enough, his palms were empty, and then a picture appeared in his mind-Xiaowu was put into the lake where golden lotus was planted.
Ling Gu pursed his lips, slandered the unnamed book a few words, his attention was quickly attracted by the turtle shell.
The turtle shell is nearly seven feet high, and it can be used as a small house to live in.The inside of the tortoise shell is not always smooth, and is very hard, so it may be difficult for a sword to enter.
Ling Gu was a little distressed: "It's really difficult to engrave the magic circle."
The more advanced the material is, the more advanced the material is, the drawing tools of the corresponding level and the cultivation level of the monk are required to make the spirit weapon with the formation method.As for the tools, Ling Gu wasn't too worried - there was Bai Yu.However, although Ling Gu wanted to do it right away, he shook his head in the end.
"Let me study the atlas first." At this moment, Ling Gu felt a little regretful about his lazy self before. If he stepped up his cultivation, he might be able to improve his cultivation now.
"There's still time, don't worry." Bai Yu comforted.
Ling Gu shook his head, put his hand on the turtle shell, and said softly: "Xiao Ming, put this in too."
Untitled Book: "...Okay, Master."
The turtle shell was retracted. Although Ling Gu wanted to study the atlas immediately, the most important thing right now was his marriage with Bai Yu.Ling Gu thought for a while, then decided: "Let's go see how Xitang is doing."
"Okay." Bai Yu showed a cheerful smile.
The wedding hall was set up in the main hall of the Commander's Mansion. The spacious courtyard in front of the main hall was cleared of snow, and a calf-high wooden frame was built on both sides with red wood, and gifts from the people in the Commander's Mansion were placed on it.There is only a road in the middle of the yard, and there are wintersweet trees in full bloom on both sides of the road, and a few birds are standing on the treetops, chirping.
Ling Gu was first attracted by the things stacked on the wooden shelf, and asked strangely: "Why are they all placed here?"
"Most of these have to be scattered." In terms of trivial customs, Luzhu explained: "On the wedding day, there is a custom of 'going happy'. This is the rule set by the domain owner. You have to ride around the commander's mansion on a horse, and all the gifts you receive will be scattered, which is also called 'Sanxi'. Many cubs are looking forward to that day."
Ling Gu smiled: "It sounds quite lively."
"Of course it's lively." At this time, Qin Qian and a group of people came in from the door, and no one left, including Min Yuan.
There was a cloth bag hanging on Min Yuan's chest, and Ling Gu knew it was his family's egg at a glance.I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't know if I don't see you, but now I see you, the longing in my heart can no longer be suppressed.
Ling Gu greeted him with a smile, and stretched out his hand to Min Yuan: "Give it to me."
"Of course, it's all for you!" Min Yuan grinned, took a box from the little demon behind him and put it in Ling Gu's hand, and said while putting it back: "These are all gifts from me. , there are spiritual plants, spiritual treasures, and many other rare things. Ah, I also brought you a little wild beast, which is a rare breed that has not been mixed with human blood. Come and make a contract with it. I Seeing that the 朏朏 you raised is ready, you can let it give birth to a cub with 朏朏. Oh yes, and..."
"Wait!" Holding Lao Gao's gift box in his arms, Ling Gu saw that Min Yuan was still getting tired, so he couldn't bear it and shouted: "I didn't say that."
Bai Yu couldn't see it, so he stretched out his hand and put everything in Ling Gu's hand into his bag.Ling Gu heaved a sigh of relief, and pointed helplessly at the cloth pocket on Min Yuan's chest: "I mean this."
Min Yuan was taken aback, showing a reluctant expression, and when he handed it to Ling Gu, he muttered: "When he breaks his shell, I want to be his godfather. Also, the gift I gave you is not allowed to be used for joy. , or I will be very angry."
"No, no." Ling Gu embraced the warm cloth bag, opened it, and immediately shook the egg twice joyfully as if it had sensed it.Ling Gu grinned, hugged Budou in his arms, and went to see Xitang with Bai Yu.
After reading what should be seen, Bai Yu saw that Qin Qian and the others hadn't left, and he understood a little bit, so he said to Ling Gu: "I will do the rest. You go back and look at the atlas. It's cold, don't be greedy for coolness." .”
"Okay, then I'll go first." Ling Gu did not doubt that he was there, and after saying goodbye to everyone with a smile, he left with a smile on his face.
As soon as Ling Gu left, Bai Yu's aura changed suddenly, as if an epee suddenly stabbed out of a cloud of soft white clouds.
"Let's talk." Bai Yu looked at Mu Ying and Qin Qian. The former is good at collecting information, while the latter is more sensitive to humans.
Mu Ying spoke first: "Boss, there are some rumors in the city. They are aimed at you."
Bai Yu showed no extra expression, and motioned for her to continue talking.
Mu Ying went on to say: "The situation of Xiaowu Dujie just now has frightened many city residents. Some people who have experienced the dark day naturally got in touch. Then... some people began to spread rumors, saying that the dark day was caused by the boss It was caused by your crossing robbery."
"That's what it is." Min Yuan put his hands on his head and interjected lazily, unavoidably gloating.
Mu Ying stopped and stared at Min Yuan, Qin Qian continued: "The current situation is: many city residents believe it, and think that this is the harbinger of the second dark day. Now the city people are panic-stricken, and many people gathered on the street , The public opinion is very unfavorable to the Shuaifu, if we don't do something to deal with it, I'm afraid something will happen."
"Have you made any countermeasures?" Bai Yu asked Qin Qian. Qin Qian and Wei Yun have always been responsible for the affairs of the citizens of Bermuda City. If there is any trouble, they can solve it by themselves without reporting to Bai Yu. In the past, even if he reported it, Bai Yu didn't care.
Qin Qian nodded: "Nowadays, the temple is still praying for the city residents due to the grand wedding of the commander-in-chief's mansion. So I discussed it with Priest Mingyue and asked the gods to help stabilize the human form. According to the truth, the thunder disaster this time is It was caused by the spiritual beast crossing the catastrophe."
Wei Yun continued: "As for the guards, we also contacted Youjia's generals, and stepped up patrols in the streets where there are more crowds."
"But the key point is still not resolved." Min Yuan put down his hand, tilted his head, and looked at Bai Yu with a smile: "You know, this kind of rumor was obviously deliberately led by someone, and what the city residents fear most is the second dark day." .And the Shuai Mansion is the strongest protection against the dark day. But now, some people say that you are the cause of the dark day, and the bad thing is, this is true."
Min Yuan paused, slowly looked around the people in the room, and smiled: "We all know what human beings are. If they are not my race, their hearts must be different. Heh, they believe that white hairs lead to a dark future, Don’t think about whether you did it on purpose, or whether you saved their lives in the end, and don’t think about those wild beasts that prey on humans are the culprit. They just want to eat your flesh , Drinking your blood, killing your soul...Conceited and stupid human beings, they will never learn to respect the strong."
"This is a good opportunity, isn't it? Teach them a lesson." Min Yuan squinted and smiled, and lowered his voice: "Just don't let Ling Gu know."
"No." Bai Yu shook his head.
Min Yuan sneered, as if he had expected this ending, and did not continue to persuade.
Bai Yu smiled, glanced at several people, and said, "Don't underestimate Ling Gu."
Min Yuan rolled his big eyes: "It's not called underestimating, it's called being hard to change. Don't forget, all of us were picked up by the domain owner. He can pick up any injured wild dog on the side of the road. Come back and raise them in the domain. This is a city of people, do you think he will expel these people? Or kill them?"
"Yes, he is very soft-hearted. But don't forget, he is very defensive." Bai Yu smiled softly: "If the city people really rioted, it would probably be impossible for him to kill these people. But, he doesn't It will make me and us wronged. Trust him, if you want him to trust us, you must first give him trust."
A few people were moved, Min Yuan also hesitated, and finally sighed: "It's up to you, it's not my city anyway, it's none of my business."
Bai Yu raised his eyebrows, and then said: "Wei Yun, you are responsible for arranging the defense outside the commander's mansion. Meng Yu and Boyan, you cooperate with Wei Yun. Qin Qian, you should walk more with the temple, and then... Just admit that it was indeed a dark day caused by my surviving the catastrophe."
Qin Qian frowned slightly: "This way, okay?"
Bai Yu nodded: "That's it. But at the same time, we must pour some cold water on those people. Bermuda City has now been taken over by the Shuaifu, and if they want to live under the blessing of the Shuaifu, then they have to know how to measure. Those who harbor resentment and want an explanation, after two days, ask them to wait in the open space in front of the commander's residence, and I will personally explain it to them."
Knowing that Bai Yu had made up his mind, several people took orders and left.
Mu Ying stayed where she was, looked at Bai Yu with her mouth pouted, and sighed: "Boss, you are deliberately provoking the little bones. If he is soft-hearted and even empathizes with what happened to those people, it will be to you... he What if I'm afraid of you?"
Bai Yu lowered his eyelids, the smile on the corner of his mouth retracted a bit, and he said, "I need his trust. I didn't have the chance to ask him back then, but I know that after losing that child, he no longer trusts me."
Mu Ying bit her lip, but finally didn't say anything more.
75. Chapter [-]
Although Bai Yu spoke confidently, in fact, he was very worried about what attitude Ling Gu would show.The reason why he dared Ling Gu to face those humans who had encountered the dark day and listen to the experiences of those humans was because of what he had seen in the Nightmare of Bone Ling before.
Ling Gu loves him, his possessive desire is opened a gap, and he can no longer bear the incomplete loneliness.He wants all of Linggu.
In the evening, after having dinner and taking a bath, Bai Yu did not use spiritual methods, but slowly wiped Ling Gu's long hair with a cloth towel.Before he said anything, Ling Gu tilted his head back and looked at him: "What's on your mind?"
Bai Yu was slightly startled, then nodded: "Well, there is something I want to tell you."
"what happened?"
After drying Ling Gu's hair, Bai Yu sat beside Ling Gu and said, "This is how it happened."
Bai Yu told about the situation in Baimu City, and then turned his head to look at Ling Gu seriously, for fear of missing any subtle expression of Ling Gu.
Ling Gu was silent for a moment after listening, and asked Bai Yu with a frown: "Since you said that you will give an explanation in two days, what are you going to do?"
Bai Yu's answer was very simple: "Stay if you want, leave if you don't. Or, we build another city."
"Huh?" Ling Gu was stunned, thinking that such a compromising attitude was too inconsistent with Bai Yu's style.But thinking about it again, Ling Gu also thought of the root of Bai Yu's compromise.Ling Gu's chest was swollen and aching -- he was happy because of Bai Yu's respect for him, and he felt distressed because he restrained Bai Yu's hands and feet.
"Let's do this." Ling Gu turned his eyes and said to Bai Yu slyly: "If you believe me, I will handle the matter in two days."
Bai Yu was stunned, and then laughed happily.He leaned over and hugged Ling Gu: "Okay. I believe you."
Ling Gu's attitude, without the slightest hesitation from the beginning to the end, simply stood by his side neatly, which made Bai Yu ecstatic.
The next day, Ling Gu got up early and handed the egg baby to Bai Yu's care, while he secretly ran out of the Commander's Mansion and went to Qin Qian's mansion.
Qin Qian's mansion is not small, but there is only a small building inside, which is the tallest building in Shuai's mansion.On the top floor, there is a huge lair. This is Qin Qian's mount - Blazing Lair.Blazing is a dark red cloud eagle with a horse body, eagle head and claws, and a pair of powerful wings. It can't run fast, but it can fly.
At this time, Qin Qian was spraying a potion on Chiyan, which would make Chiyan's feathers more shiny and prevent insects.
It was the first time for Ling Gu to see Zhi Yan, and he was so dazed that he almost forgot the reason for his visit.It wasn't until after the blazing feathers flew away that Ling Gu talked about serious matters with Qin Qian.
"The map of Bermuda City?" Qin Qian understood Ling Gu's meaning after being stunned for a moment, so he smiled relievedly, and took out all the information about Bermuda City that they had researched and sorted out these days.
After listening to Qin Qian's explanation, Ling Gu finally understood the current situation of Bermuda City after an hour.Bermuda City has the biggest gap—monopoly.
Salt iron rice soldiers, salt iron is very important to both the army and the people.But now, almost all the salt and iron shops of the Ma family and the Wan family are closed.The influence of the iron shop is not too great for the time being, but the influence of the salt shop is very wide.Now the price of salt in the city has increased nearly ten times, but the supply is still in short supply, and people naturally complain.
Second, is the management system.
Bermuda City does not have a systematic management organization at all. The intricate "bureaucratic" system of the four major families, as well as the combination of temples and temples, are evenly matched.This structure will only deal with things that are beneficial to them, while public education, city defense, farming, military industry, etc. are all falling apart.
Ling Gu is sure that the reason why Bermuda City has been able to stand for 20 years is still prosperous.It is because the people in Bermuda City understand that civil strife cannot be tolerated, otherwise they will
Shi Luoxue's hand clinging to the teacup trembled, and hot tea spilled on her hand.She put down the teacup, gracefully withdrew her hand, and looked at the three things quietly without speaking.
"Tell me." Bai Yu spoke, with three words without beginning and end, but his tone was very firm.
He was sure that Shi Luoxue had known for a long time that there were people from the group of monks in the central world.Otherwise, the Luoshui Snow Country could not be built so quickly - Bai Yu can still handle what Shi Luoxue is capable of.
"There's nothing to say." Shi Luoxue raised her head and looked at Bai Yu without fear: "Unless you convince me that he is really the domain master."
"Are you negotiating terms with me?"
Shi Luoxue smiled lightly, and said lightly: "Since I decided to come to Bermuda City, I didn't intend to go back alive. And you invited me to come to Bermuda City, you must have something to ask for. I can't live or die, but what you ask for The news must be more expensive than my life."
Bai Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the majestic spiritual pressure poured out unreservedly, digging the air in the room like a mountain pressing down on the top.
"Crack." The furniture in the room couldn't stand the coercion, and made an unbearable cracking sound.Shi Luoxue also bent down, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, but she curled her mouth and looked at Bai Yu stubbornly, as if mocking Bai Yu—you won't kill me.
She guessed right, Bai Yu would not kill her.
Bai Yu withdrew the spiritual pressure, and looked at Shi Luoxue quietly: "If you have anything to do with these things, I will definitely make your life worse than death. You can spend the rest of your life to take care of the lives of more than 600 monsters back then." Feel their resentment."
Shi Luoxue's face turned pale, and her expression finally showed pain. She smiled miserably and said, "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will remember all the sins I committed. I never expected to be forgiven by anyone."
"Bang!" At this moment, the door of the room was knocked open, and a long sword stabbed in before the person came, but before it could get close to Bai Yu, it suddenly flew out in the air.And Bai Yu didn't even move a finger.
Hearing the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him, Bai Yu turned his head and took a look.It is Stone Forest.
Shi Lin fell to the ground, and a white thing slipped out from the skirt.Bai Yu's eyes froze, and he waved his hand towards the void, and the thing seemed to be pulled into Bai Yu's hand as if being pulled by a thread.
It was a jade pendant, a jade pendant with a human face.The human face is different from the one found on Luo Qing's body. The eyes of this human face are half opened, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, showing a very peaceful expression.But their jade qualities are the same.
Murderous aura suddenly arose, but Shi Luoxue suddenly appeared in front of Bai Yu: "Commander!"
Bai Yu looked at her, and his killing intent almost turned into substance, which made Shi Luoxue tremble all over.
"Commander, I still say the same thing." Shi Luoxue stood with her back braced, looked at Bai Yu and said, "My life is worth nothing, but if you can't make me sure that Ling Gu is the domain master, then Even if I die, you will never hear useful news from me. Commander-in-Chief, I know more than you can imagine."
Bai Yu sneered, retracted his five fingers, and the human face jade pendant turned into powder and slipped from his fingers.
"Not only do you know a lot, you also do a lot." Bai Yu looked at her coldly and said, "I underestimated you, but I didn't expect you to be such a wolf-hearted dog."
Shi Luoxue's face turned pale, and then she suddenly laughed out loud: "I thought you could understand it 300 years ago."
"300 years ago, I only saw a stupid woman, but now, I see a hypocrite who is swallowed by darkness and claims to be a victim. You said you don't expect forgiveness from anyone, joke."
Bai Yu sneered: "You have been expecting to be forgiven. You want to make sure that Ling Gu is Fei Yang, isn't it just to get Ling Gu's forgiveness? Because you know that Fei Yang... will always forgive you."
Shi Luoxue bit her lower lip, trembling and did not speak.
Bai Yu shook off the powder from his hands, and took a last look at Shi Luoxue: "Ling Gu has no memory, but I have already told him what happened 300 years ago, do you know what he said?"
Shi Luoxue's body trembled, and she couldn't help taking a step back.
But Bai Yu didn't tell Shi Luoxue the answer. He killed his expression and said, "I don't know what kind of deal you have with those people, and I don't know how much you have achieved. But you are right about one thing, let you come Bermuda City, I really didn't intend to let you live well, there are too many things in this world that are more painful than death."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left. When he passed by Shi Lin, he raised his hand.A whirlwind wrapped in snowflakes suddenly appeared, rolling the stone forest and hitting the courtyard wall.The stone wall collapsed suddenly, and only the two legs of the stone forest could be seen hanging on the broken wall, lifeless.
Bai Yu didn't kill him because he still needed to stabilize Shi Luoxue.However, it is always possible to impose a small punishment.
As for whether she would be passive in the showdown with Shi Luoxue, Bai Yu didn't think it would be - Shi Luoxue was not a great talent, she was just an ordinary woman who became someone else's wife and mother.Thousands of lives put her on a heavy shackles back then. Even if she still had contact with those monks, she would never participate in more core matters.And those monks didn't necessarily believe her.
73. Chapter [-]
Although Bai Yu didn't touch Shi Luoxue, it didn't mean he let her go.With Mu Ying around, the surveillance of Shi Luoxue was completely out of the question.
When Bai Yu returned to the commander-in-chief's mansion, it was almost noon, and Ling Gu's headache finally eased, and he was sitting cross-legged on the bed eating snacks.Seeing Bai Yu coming in, Ling Gu jumped up suddenly, trying to cover up the quilt that was stained with food crumbs.
Bai Yu glanced at it, shook his head, stepped forward to take the plate in Ling Gu's hand and said, "It's time for lunch soon. Have you tried Xifu?"
"I've tried it, it looks pretty good." Ling Gu smiled, the crimson wedding dress was imitated of the commander's military uniform, when he put it on and looked in the mirror, Ling Gu couldn't help being narcissistic for a while.
"It's fine if you like it. Let's go to Xitang after lunch. The snow is thick outside, so wear more clothes when you go out."
"Is it snowing?" Ling Gu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately ran out, ran out of the inner room to the door of the dormitory, looked at the world of pink makeup and jade outside the door, the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.
Bai Yu followed out with a big cloak, wrapped Ling Gu in it, and said helplessly, "I told you to wear more."
"Snow. I haven't seen such a heavy snow in front of my house." Ling Gu said stupidly.
doorstep.
Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then put his head on Ling Gu's shoulder with a gentle smile, and said softly, "Let's go play with you in the snow later."
"Okay." Ling Gu was overjoyed.
"Boom-long-"
Ling Gu's smile was still on his lips, and suddenly there was a deafening thunder, and then the commander's mansion was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and black clouds piled up layer by layer, and soon became thick ink.With the sound of muffled thunder, rays of light hovered and shuttled in the clouds, as if several giant dragons were coiled among them.
"Clap-pop-"
When the clouds condensed into a whirlwind column, a bolt of purple lightning suddenly tore through the clouds and crashed down.The ground trembled, the tables and chairs rattled in fear, and the cups and saucers collided with each other, causing tiny cracks.
The entire city of Bermuda was in panic, and the citizens looked up one after another. When they saw the vision on the top of the commander's mansion, they either ran back home and closed the door, or knelt on the spot and prayed to God. Show mercy.
However, the eyes of many elderly people are full of fear - 20 years ago, on the eve of the dark day, it was this kind of purple thunder that disrupted the aura of the central world, wild beasts rioted, vegetation grew wildly, and wild beasts attacked ...
The bright red lanterns were blown away by the strong wind and fell to the ground again. The festive red lanterns in the city were defeated miserably.That cloud seemed to cover the entire city of Bermuda.
However, some people are very happy about it.
In a courtyard outside Wanjia City, Ma Wanlong looked at the purple lightning that kept shooting down in the sky, his face became paler: "This is the thunder tribulation that the monks crossed the tribulation? Is it something like this in the dark day?"
Compared to Ma Wanlong's panic, Wanlu, who had seen the dark day, was calm and complacent, and even had a little joy in his eyes: "How could such a thing be possible? The scene back then... was thunderous, overshadowing all the sounds of time; The purple lightning is as strong as a house, and when it hits the ground, it seems to split the earth; and the dark cloud, how can this small piece be compared, it can be said to block out the sky, and the daytime directly becomes Dark night!"
There was a look of madness in Wanlu's eyes, and he reminisced about the dark day that everyone wanted to forget, "That is such a privilege that such a powerful monk can have. After overcoming the thunder calamity, it is just around the corner to ascend to immortality!"
Ma Wanlong has long been used to Wanlu's nervousness, and he knows something about Wanlu.It is said that Wanlu fell from a world dominated by technology. He is an iron smelter, so he is good at quenching iron ore, and quickly took control of the iron line of Bermuda City.However, he is not a good person. Ma Wanlong has seen Wanlu inhaling a strange kind of smoke these days. Although he has never seen it before, he also knows that these things are similar to the "bliss powder" he knows.
A junkie.
Although Ma Wanlong had contempt for Wanlu, but it was a cooperative relationship after all, so he couldn't show it.
"That is to say, this thing won't cause dark days?" Ma Wanlong heaved a sigh of relief. He had never experienced dark days, but it didn't prevent him from feeling fearful about those dark days.
"Of course not." Wanlu rolled his eyes and suddenly looked back at Ma Wanlong with a smile like a gutter mouse that has seen delicious cheese: "Although it won't, we can make it do."
Ma Wanlong was startled and shouted: "What do you want to do? Although I hate the beasts in the commander's mansion, I don't want to let Bermuda fall into the quagmire!"
"Oh." Wan Lu sneered, extremely disdainful of Ma Wanlong's "cowardice", but he just smiled and waved his hands: "Brother Ma, you worry too much, Bermuda City is a big piece of cheese, how could I eat it by myself?" Let it be contaminated before the next bite."
Ma Wanlong frowned, but his tone softened: "Then what's your plan?"
Wan Lu chuckled: "Although I know this will not lead to a dark day, the citizens of Bermuda City will not. You, who have never experienced a dark day, can think of a dark day. Then you say, those experiences What about the people who have been there?"
Ma Wanlong's mind turned quickly, and he quickly tasted something: "You mean..."
"Now that the purple thunder has landed in the commander's mansion, why don't we go along with the flow and attribute the thunder calamity back then to the commander's mansion?" After Wan Lu finished speaking, Ma Wanlong's eyes lit up immediately, and he already understood.
Ma Wanlong said excitedly: "That's right, everyone knows that the commander of Bermuda City is extremely capable, and his cultivation base is even more unfathomable, so even in the city closest to the Eastern Beast Kingdom, there is not a single wild beast in the Eastern Beast Kingdom who dares to fight!" Come to harass me. The thunder calamity 20 years ago was caused by him, which is completely justified!"
Wan Lu saw that Ma Wanlong's head had finally come to light, and he also showed a smile: "So, before the thunder fell, we would be cast aside and scolded by the city residents when we resisted the commander-in-chief, because the commander-in-chief was what the people wanted, and we came from an unknown teacher. But now, our salt The iron shops have been closed for a few days, and the citizens of the city have already started to be impetuous, and then they released news that the dark day was caused by Bai Yu's crossing, and the thunder that fell recently hit the commander-in-chief's mansion directly!"
Ma Wanlong clapped his fists and showed a very sharp smile: "That's right! The city people will believe it. At that time, the prestige of the commander-in-chief's mansion will plummet, and he will become a demon from a savior. Then we will be famous and petition for the city people." , maybe even drive those bastards from the Shuai Mansion out of Bermuda City!"
Wan Lu pointed his finger in the air, and said with a smile, "That's the truth. What the people want is justice."
Ma Wanlong couldn't wait: "Then when will we start to act?"
"Now." Wan Lu pursed his lips and said, "While the thunder disaster is still going on, what we say will be more credible. You know, although the commander-in-chief has a high prestige, but the shadow of the dark day is still in the hearts of the citizens. Worse. And..."
Wan Lu said and looked at Ma Wanlong: "You cried and complained about your son's tragic death, which was caused by wild beasts, but the commander-in-chief protected the wild beasts. At that time, no one believed you, what about now?"
Mentioning the death of his two sons, Ma Wanlong's eyes turned red, hatred and sadness burned his reason.
"Now, I want to let those city residents know what kind of thing the commander-in-chief of Bermuda City is!"
Language can also be sharper than the sword and poisonous.As long as someone with a heart guides you, if you tell a lie thousands of times, it will become true.
Ma Wanlong made up his mind, and immediately rode his horse back to the city without pretending to be someone else's hand.
Wanlu watched Ma Wanlong leave with a smile on his lips.At this time, a tall figure came out from the corner. It was a wild beast and one of Beast Lan's guards.
Without the slightest panic, Wan Lu said with a chuckle, "Look, we will overfulfill the task if we win Bermuda City. You princes, don't forget our benefits."
The wild beast sneered: "Let's talk about it after you take it down. Ma Wanlong is an idiot, so keep an eye on it."
"Of order." Wan Lu saluted exaggeratedly, then raised his head, looked at the wild beast with longing eyes, stretched out his hand and said, "Where is the thing?"
The wild beast took out a paper bag wrapped in layers from its arms and threw it to Wanlu. Wanlu hurriedly caught it with both hands, impatiently brought it to the tip of his nose, and took a deep breath.
"Ah~" Wanlu let out a voice of enjoyment, as if what he smelled was the immortal medicine.
"Thank you, Prince." Wan Lu saluted again, and then ignored the wild beast.He took out a set of weird utensils from a drawer in the room, opened the paper bag, took a little powder out of it with a gold spoon, and put it on the utensils. When the fire was lit, a little white smoke rose up.The white smoke was very strange, it did not dissipate in the air, but was shaped like a spirit snake, coiling in the void until Wan Lu inhaled it.
"Ah!" Wanlu made a high-pitched voice, rolling his eyes with excitement.
The wild beast stared at Wan Lu and sneered, then walked away.
Ling Gu and Bai Yu didn't know about the coming storm, but Ling Gu was also frightened by the scene.
"This lightning calamity must be an intermediate cultivation level, who in the commander's mansion has passed the calamity?" Ling Gu turned to look at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Nine times out of ten, it's Xiao Wu."
Ling Gu was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Ah, yes, you said earlier that the little crow was about to shed its shell. You also said that its shell can be made into a spiritual weapon."
"Well, if it's done, it might be a disaster." Bai Yu said.
"Mine!" Ling Gu immediately seized the opportunity, squinted and looked around at Huang Pangpang and the others, and said, "No one is allowed to grab me."
Huang Pangpang and others naturally smiled and nodded, but Mu Ying looked at Ling Gu with a smile: "Little bone, do you know how to make a mysterious turtle shell into a spiritual weapon?"
Ling Gu: "...There will always be a way."
"The Unnamed Book." Bai Yu reminded, "The Unnamed Book is the spiritual weapon you refined and used to record events back then, and the demon pattern formation was also stored."
Ling Gu's eyes lit up, he closed his eyes eagerly, and shouted in his head: "Unnamed Book~Xiao Mingming~Xiao Shushu~"
After a while, a child's voice sounded, with a strange tone, as if he was choking on something: "Master, just call me Untitled Book."
"Oh, don't be so ignorant, Xiao Ming." Ling Gu narrowed his eyes with a smile, and began to communicate with the nameless book in his mind, leaning on Bai Yu.
The unnamed book from Xiao Ming to Xiao Ming: "..."
74. Chapter [-]
Ling Gu asked Wumingshu: "Do you have the records I saved about the demon pattern formation?"
The voice of the unnamed book sounded in Ling Gu's mind: "There are a few atlases. But with your current cultivation, master, you can only give you the most basic atlases."
Ling Gu was a little disappointed: "That's equivalent to useless."
"No. Back then, when the master classified maps, they classified them according to the level of danger. Now the master is not cultivated enough, so in order to avoid the counterattack of the formation, he can only give you the most basic map, which is the lowest level of danger. The defense that the master wants Sexual formations are also included, refining the mysterious turtle shell is no problem."
Because the Unnamed Book is the hub connecting Ling Gu to the domain, it can actually "see" Ling Gu's words and deeds.
Ling Gu didn't notice this at all, he was overjoyed and said: "That's great, give it to me."
In the next second, there was a thread-bound silk book in Ling Gu's hand.The book cover is made of wood, with the words "Low-Level Formation" written on it, in a font... as if chewed by a dog.
"You wrote this yourself." Bai Yu's laughing voice sounded in his ear, as if he remembered something happy, and asked, "How is your handwriting doing now?"
Ling Gu was not embarrassed at all, and said lightly: "What's the use of good words, I just draw it well."
Bai Yu laughed, and stopped poking at Linggu's fault, and said, "Let's eat first. Xiao Wu's thunder calamity is still an hour away."
Ling Gu had no objection, he put the atlas into his arms, wrapped it in a cloak and said to Huang Pangpang: "I want to eat salted duck, and I also want sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root and marinated eggs."
"Okay, son." Huang Pang ran away mellowly.
An hour later, the thunder finally stopped, and the dark clouds hovering over the commander-in-chief's mansion dissipated, revealing a light gray sky, and fine snowflakes fell from the sky, adding another layer to the world that was already covered in silver. white.
"Is Xiaowu all right? Why didn't you hear anything?" Ling Gu asked Bai Yu worriedly as he went to the back garden when the dark clouds cleared.
Bai Yu shook his head: "The black tortoise is a spirit beast, even if it is a side branch, it is very powerful. This kind of lightning calamity is more like a coming-of-age ceremony for them than a catastrophe."
Ling Gu nodded, and while they were talking, they also came to the place where Xiao Wu was robbed.The back garden is still green and grassy, and the four seasons are like spring; but the water pool is like purgatory—the water pool has dried up, and the trees, rocks, and land have turned into a scorched black color, and the smell of over-burning things fills this space , and the swirling smoke hadn't had time to dissipate.
Ling Gu looked terrified, frowned and said, "Why didn't I hear Xiao Wu's voice?"
"When the black tortoise moults, it will return to the state of a palm-sized baby turtle and sleep." Bai Yu explained for him: "Let's get closer when the smoke clears, so as not to step on it. Then in the next month, it will grow It has doubled in size before crossing the catastrophe."
"Ah!" Ling Gu suddenly had a headache: "That must be a small hill."
"Master." At this time, the voice of the unknown book sounded again, with some imperceptible excitement: "It can be raised in the domain. The domain has no size, and it can be controlled by the master's will. Raising a black turtle is not a problem. .”
Ling Gu smiled: "This is successful. Hey, the smoke has cleared, and I can see the shell!"
In the middle of the pool, a huge empty tortoise shell lay quietly there.After experiencing the Zilei Tribulation, its turbid air was split, revealing the original gold and copper texture of the tortoise shell, and the pattern of the flying snake became clearer and more vivid, as if if you stretch out your hand, you will be bitten by them.
Ling Gu walked over cautiously, probed into the tortoise shell, and then took out a small thing from inside—Little Ubi Ling Gu was bigger than a palm, his limbs and head were tender and white with powder, and the tortoise shell was as golden in color Ink, the whole looks like it is carved out of jade and metal.At this time, it was sleeping, but it did not withdraw its limbs and head. It had two big eyes bulging under its eyelids, which was very cute.
Before Ling Gu could appreciate it enough, his palms were empty, and then a picture appeared in his mind-Xiaowu was put into the lake where golden lotus was planted.
Ling Gu pursed his lips, slandered the unnamed book a few words, his attention was quickly attracted by the turtle shell.
The turtle shell is nearly seven feet high, and it can be used as a small house to live in.The inside of the tortoise shell is not always smooth, and is very hard, so it may be difficult for a sword to enter.
Ling Gu was a little distressed: "It's really difficult to engrave the magic circle."
The more advanced the material is, the more advanced the material is, the drawing tools of the corresponding level and the cultivation level of the monk are required to make the spirit weapon with the formation method.As for the tools, Ling Gu wasn't too worried - there was Bai Yu.However, although Ling Gu wanted to do it right away, he shook his head in the end.
"Let me study the atlas first." At this moment, Ling Gu felt a little regretful about his lazy self before. If he stepped up his cultivation, he might be able to improve his cultivation now.
"There's still time, don't worry." Bai Yu comforted.
Ling Gu shook his head, put his hand on the turtle shell, and said softly: "Xiao Ming, put this in too."
Untitled Book: "...Okay, Master."
The turtle shell was retracted. Although Ling Gu wanted to study the atlas immediately, the most important thing right now was his marriage with Bai Yu.Ling Gu thought for a while, then decided: "Let's go see how Xitang is doing."
"Okay." Bai Yu showed a cheerful smile.
The wedding hall was set up in the main hall of the Commander's Mansion. The spacious courtyard in front of the main hall was cleared of snow, and a calf-high wooden frame was built on both sides with red wood, and gifts from the people in the Commander's Mansion were placed on it.There is only a road in the middle of the yard, and there are wintersweet trees in full bloom on both sides of the road, and a few birds are standing on the treetops, chirping.
Ling Gu was first attracted by the things stacked on the wooden shelf, and asked strangely: "Why are they all placed here?"
"Most of these have to be scattered." In terms of trivial customs, Luzhu explained: "On the wedding day, there is a custom of 'going happy'. This is the rule set by the domain owner. You have to ride around the commander's mansion on a horse, and all the gifts you receive will be scattered, which is also called 'Sanxi'. Many cubs are looking forward to that day."
Ling Gu smiled: "It sounds quite lively."
"Of course it's lively." At this time, Qin Qian and a group of people came in from the door, and no one left, including Min Yuan.
There was a cloth bag hanging on Min Yuan's chest, and Ling Gu knew it was his family's egg at a glance.I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't know if I don't see you, but now I see you, the longing in my heart can no longer be suppressed.
Ling Gu greeted him with a smile, and stretched out his hand to Min Yuan: "Give it to me."
"Of course, it's all for you!" Min Yuan grinned, took a box from the little demon behind him and put it in Ling Gu's hand, and said while putting it back: "These are all gifts from me. , there are spiritual plants, spiritual treasures, and many other rare things. Ah, I also brought you a little wild beast, which is a rare breed that has not been mixed with human blood. Come and make a contract with it. I Seeing that the 朏朏 you raised is ready, you can let it give birth to a cub with 朏朏. Oh yes, and..."
"Wait!" Holding Lao Gao's gift box in his arms, Ling Gu saw that Min Yuan was still getting tired, so he couldn't bear it and shouted: "I didn't say that."
Bai Yu couldn't see it, so he stretched out his hand and put everything in Ling Gu's hand into his bag.Ling Gu heaved a sigh of relief, and pointed helplessly at the cloth pocket on Min Yuan's chest: "I mean this."
Min Yuan was taken aback, showing a reluctant expression, and when he handed it to Ling Gu, he muttered: "When he breaks his shell, I want to be his godfather. Also, the gift I gave you is not allowed to be used for joy. , or I will be very angry."
"No, no." Ling Gu embraced the warm cloth bag, opened it, and immediately shook the egg twice joyfully as if it had sensed it.Ling Gu grinned, hugged Budou in his arms, and went to see Xitang with Bai Yu.
After reading what should be seen, Bai Yu saw that Qin Qian and the others hadn't left, and he understood a little bit, so he said to Ling Gu: "I will do the rest. You go back and look at the atlas. It's cold, don't be greedy for coolness." .”
"Okay, then I'll go first." Ling Gu did not doubt that he was there, and after saying goodbye to everyone with a smile, he left with a smile on his face.
As soon as Ling Gu left, Bai Yu's aura changed suddenly, as if an epee suddenly stabbed out of a cloud of soft white clouds.
"Let's talk." Bai Yu looked at Mu Ying and Qin Qian. The former is good at collecting information, while the latter is more sensitive to humans.
Mu Ying spoke first: "Boss, there are some rumors in the city. They are aimed at you."
Bai Yu showed no extra expression, and motioned for her to continue talking.
Mu Ying went on to say: "The situation of Xiaowu Dujie just now has frightened many city residents. Some people who have experienced the dark day naturally got in touch. Then... some people began to spread rumors, saying that the dark day was caused by the boss It was caused by your crossing robbery."
"That's what it is." Min Yuan put his hands on his head and interjected lazily, unavoidably gloating.
Mu Ying stopped and stared at Min Yuan, Qin Qian continued: "The current situation is: many city residents believe it, and think that this is the harbinger of the second dark day. Now the city people are panic-stricken, and many people gathered on the street , The public opinion is very unfavorable to the Shuaifu, if we don't do something to deal with it, I'm afraid something will happen."
"Have you made any countermeasures?" Bai Yu asked Qin Qian. Qin Qian and Wei Yun have always been responsible for the affairs of the citizens of Bermuda City. If there is any trouble, they can solve it by themselves without reporting to Bai Yu. In the past, even if he reported it, Bai Yu didn't care.
Qin Qian nodded: "Nowadays, the temple is still praying for the city residents due to the grand wedding of the commander-in-chief's mansion. So I discussed it with Priest Mingyue and asked the gods to help stabilize the human form. According to the truth, the thunder disaster this time is It was caused by the spiritual beast crossing the catastrophe."
Wei Yun continued: "As for the guards, we also contacted Youjia's generals, and stepped up patrols in the streets where there are more crowds."
"But the key point is still not resolved." Min Yuan put down his hand, tilted his head, and looked at Bai Yu with a smile: "You know, this kind of rumor was obviously deliberately led by someone, and what the city residents fear most is the second dark day." .And the Shuai Mansion is the strongest protection against the dark day. But now, some people say that you are the cause of the dark day, and the bad thing is, this is true."
Min Yuan paused, slowly looked around the people in the room, and smiled: "We all know what human beings are. If they are not my race, their hearts must be different. Heh, they believe that white hairs lead to a dark future, Don’t think about whether you did it on purpose, or whether you saved their lives in the end, and don’t think about those wild beasts that prey on humans are the culprit. They just want to eat your flesh , Drinking your blood, killing your soul...Conceited and stupid human beings, they will never learn to respect the strong."
"This is a good opportunity, isn't it? Teach them a lesson." Min Yuan squinted and smiled, and lowered his voice: "Just don't let Ling Gu know."
"No." Bai Yu shook his head.
Min Yuan sneered, as if he had expected this ending, and did not continue to persuade.
Bai Yu smiled, glanced at several people, and said, "Don't underestimate Ling Gu."
Min Yuan rolled his big eyes: "It's not called underestimating, it's called being hard to change. Don't forget, all of us were picked up by the domain owner. He can pick up any injured wild dog on the side of the road. Come back and raise them in the domain. This is a city of people, do you think he will expel these people? Or kill them?"
"Yes, he is very soft-hearted. But don't forget, he is very defensive." Bai Yu smiled softly: "If the city people really rioted, it would probably be impossible for him to kill these people. But, he doesn't It will make me and us wronged. Trust him, if you want him to trust us, you must first give him trust."
A few people were moved, Min Yuan also hesitated, and finally sighed: "It's up to you, it's not my city anyway, it's none of my business."
Bai Yu raised his eyebrows, and then said: "Wei Yun, you are responsible for arranging the defense outside the commander's mansion. Meng Yu and Boyan, you cooperate with Wei Yun. Qin Qian, you should walk more with the temple, and then... Just admit that it was indeed a dark day caused by my surviving the catastrophe."
Qin Qian frowned slightly: "This way, okay?"
Bai Yu nodded: "That's it. But at the same time, we must pour some cold water on those people. Bermuda City has now been taken over by the Shuaifu, and if they want to live under the blessing of the Shuaifu, then they have to know how to measure. Those who harbor resentment and want an explanation, after two days, ask them to wait in the open space in front of the commander's residence, and I will personally explain it to them."
Knowing that Bai Yu had made up his mind, several people took orders and left.
Mu Ying stayed where she was, looked at Bai Yu with her mouth pouted, and sighed: "Boss, you are deliberately provoking the little bones. If he is soft-hearted and even empathizes with what happened to those people, it will be to you... he What if I'm afraid of you?"
Bai Yu lowered his eyelids, the smile on the corner of his mouth retracted a bit, and he said, "I need his trust. I didn't have the chance to ask him back then, but I know that after losing that child, he no longer trusts me."
Mu Ying bit her lip, but finally didn't say anything more.
75. Chapter [-]
Although Bai Yu spoke confidently, in fact, he was very worried about what attitude Ling Gu would show.The reason why he dared Ling Gu to face those humans who had encountered the dark day and listen to the experiences of those humans was because of what he had seen in the Nightmare of Bone Ling before.
Ling Gu loves him, his possessive desire is opened a gap, and he can no longer bear the incomplete loneliness.He wants all of Linggu.
In the evening, after having dinner and taking a bath, Bai Yu did not use spiritual methods, but slowly wiped Ling Gu's long hair with a cloth towel.Before he said anything, Ling Gu tilted his head back and looked at him: "What's on your mind?"
Bai Yu was slightly startled, then nodded: "Well, there is something I want to tell you."
"what happened?"
After drying Ling Gu's hair, Bai Yu sat beside Ling Gu and said, "This is how it happened."
Bai Yu told about the situation in Baimu City, and then turned his head to look at Ling Gu seriously, for fear of missing any subtle expression of Ling Gu.
Ling Gu was silent for a moment after listening, and asked Bai Yu with a frown: "Since you said that you will give an explanation in two days, what are you going to do?"
Bai Yu's answer was very simple: "Stay if you want, leave if you don't. Or, we build another city."
"Huh?" Ling Gu was stunned, thinking that such a compromising attitude was too inconsistent with Bai Yu's style.But thinking about it again, Ling Gu also thought of the root of Bai Yu's compromise.Ling Gu's chest was swollen and aching -- he was happy because of Bai Yu's respect for him, and he felt distressed because he restrained Bai Yu's hands and feet.
"Let's do this." Ling Gu turned his eyes and said to Bai Yu slyly: "If you believe me, I will handle the matter in two days."
Bai Yu was stunned, and then laughed happily.He leaned over and hugged Ling Gu: "Okay. I believe you."
Ling Gu's attitude, without the slightest hesitation from the beginning to the end, simply stood by his side neatly, which made Bai Yu ecstatic.
The next day, Ling Gu got up early and handed the egg baby to Bai Yu's care, while he secretly ran out of the Commander's Mansion and went to Qin Qian's mansion.
Qin Qian's mansion is not small, but there is only a small building inside, which is the tallest building in Shuai's mansion.On the top floor, there is a huge lair. This is Qin Qian's mount - Blazing Lair.Blazing is a dark red cloud eagle with a horse body, eagle head and claws, and a pair of powerful wings. It can't run fast, but it can fly.
At this time, Qin Qian was spraying a potion on Chiyan, which would make Chiyan's feathers more shiny and prevent insects.
It was the first time for Ling Gu to see Zhi Yan, and he was so dazed that he almost forgot the reason for his visit.It wasn't until after the blazing feathers flew away that Ling Gu talked about serious matters with Qin Qian.
"The map of Bermuda City?" Qin Qian understood Ling Gu's meaning after being stunned for a moment, so he smiled relievedly, and took out all the information about Bermuda City that they had researched and sorted out these days.
After listening to Qin Qian's explanation, Ling Gu finally understood the current situation of Bermuda City after an hour.Bermuda City has the biggest gap—monopoly.
Salt iron rice soldiers, salt iron is very important to both the army and the people.But now, almost all the salt and iron shops of the Ma family and the Wan family are closed.The influence of the iron shop is not too great for the time being, but the influence of the salt shop is very wide.Now the price of salt in the city has increased nearly ten times, but the supply is still in short supply, and people naturally complain.
Second, is the management system.
Bermuda City does not have a systematic management organization at all. The intricate "bureaucratic" system of the four major families, as well as the combination of temples and temples, are evenly matched.This structure will only deal with things that are beneficial to them, while public education, city defense, farming, military industry, etc. are all falling apart.
Ling Gu is sure that the reason why Bermuda City has been able to stand for 20 years is still prosperous.It is because the people in Bermuda City understand that civil strife cannot be tolerated, otherwise they will
