[EXO] Jing Ci

From that day on, Bian Baekhyun seemed to be in a better mood than usual, humming while planting herbs in the garden.

Xu Anjiu looked at the formulas on the paper, silently tore them up, crushed them, and threw them into the wastebasket. She really wanted to try to unlock the outer protective cover, but she found that she really couldn't with her own ability. Hurry to untie them before the start of school, after all, it took Bian Boxian five years to build it, how could it be possible for her to untie them all within ten days.In that case, she will start to admire herself.

It's a pity that I lost an opportunity to admire myself.

She was very careful in doing this, and even cast an unseen spell on the paper, so that no one but her could know what was written on it.

In fact, it would be easier to tell Baekhyun directly than taking off the protective cover.But every time I saw him, all the words were subconsciously swallowed back.

This kind of life is lived very carefully, for fear that one day Baekhyun will find out that he is secretly undoing the protective cover, even if everything is done in a watertight manner, he will still be worried.Xu Anjiu always felt that he would know many things, maybe he even knew about the fact that he was removing the protective cover, but he never exposed her.

Just when Xu Anjiu crumpled up a new piece of paper and threw it into the wastebasket, Bian Baexian walked in suddenly, making her tremble all over with fright.

"Doing research again?" Bian Boxian asked softly.

"No, I just calculated casually." Fortunately, the stack of papers spread out on the table had not been calculated.

He sat down beside her casually: "I always feel that someone is attacking the protective cover recently."

"..." I was really afraid of something.

But if it's an attack, it has nothing to do with her, she's just calculating and hasn't put it into practice yet, but why does she always feel that Baekhyun's eyes are a little scary?

"Do you know what happened after a long time?"

"I don't know." She quickly denied.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Is it over here? Do you want to go out for a walk? The courtyard has been cleaned up and your favorite flowers have been planted. Do you want to?"

She nodded hastily. She has been calculating for two or three days, but she has not come up with any results. She knows that this cannot be solved in two or three days, and she has to be wary of him.

The courtyard is not small, the herbs planted before have been cleaned up, divided into several small pieces, planted with flowers and some other herbs that she is not familiar with.I have to say that Bian Boxian has really done a good job in this aspect, which is completely beyond the scope of a potion master's duties.

"Axian, what is this?" She was a little surprised when she suddenly saw a red plant, but it was almost all green, only it was different.

Bian Boxian glanced at it: "The true knowledge grass is used to make the truth potion."

Suddenly, I was going crazy, why did all the recent conversations focus on her pain points, did this mean she was going to have a showdown with Bian Baekhyun?Or is it because I am too sensitive that I have been entangled in this topic?

"Jijiu, let me tell you a secret, okay?"

Bian Boxian stopped suddenly and turned to face Xu Anjiu, but she couldn't understand the meaning of the expression on his face, it was so complicated that she couldn't understand it for a while.

"What?" She asked following his words.

"I'm from the Baek family."

In fact, Xu Anjiu had guessed this point a long time ago. When he was getting the map, the conversation between him and Bai Nian had already been made clear, but she didn't say it. Maybe Bian Boxian didn't want her to know, so she just Pretending not to know.

"More than that, Bai Nian and I are half brothers and sisters." Bian Boxian said slowly, "Her mother always wanted me to die, so she found a lot of magicians to take my life, but all failed, because My mother has put a protective spell on me that will protect me until I turn 16."

She chose to remain silent quite appropriately, and these words should be considered anecdote.

"So her mother was not reconciled, so she spread all kinds of rumors that I was an ominous person, and even came to take my life with her own hands."

When he said these things, Bian Boxian's tone was very flat, as if he was not talking about his own business, but just telling a story about someone else.

But Xu Anjiu felt distressed.

The more this tone of indifference, the more distressing it is.

"But she didn't succeed, and she took her own life in the end. So Bai Nian hated me, thinking that I took her mother's life, and tried every means to kill me, including that time in the second match, the rules of the match She changed it temporarily."

"Why does her mother's death have anything to do with you?" As far as she knew, protection spells would not kill people, so Bai Nian's mother's death must have nothing to do with Bian Boxian.

The corner of Bian Boxian's mouth curled up in a strange arc: "We have to ask our dear father. You should have heard of the ancient magic 'Jing Ci' for a long time, right?"

"Of course." Of course she knew that it was one of the three things people in Yuri Continent wanted most, and she also knew that Lu Han also wanted this magic very much.

"The Baek family has been studying this magic for generations, but when it came to the old master, that is, my father, he gave up studying it, maybe out of guilt for my mother, so the project was suspended. The Baek family wanted to study 'Jing Ci' is omnipotent, it doesn't treat people as human beings at all, and uses living people as experimental subjects at will, I don't know how many laws of the empire have been violated, how can they manage these things, heh—"

Although Bian Boxian was a little confused when he said this, Xu Anjiu still caught some key words from it.

In Yuri Continent, there are not a few people who study Jing Ci. She once wanted to study it, but her level has not yet reached that level. She has not even studied the basic ancient magic. What about the word '?

"You said the Baek family used humans as experimental subjects?"

He nodded and bit his lips: "My mother... was drained of her magic power by them and died in the laboratory..." He clenched his fists, his whole body trembling slightly because of anger.

But he took a deep breath and tried to adjust his emotions: "My mother is an ancient magician of time. She made amulets for me and the old Patriarch of the Baek family, and embroidered the family crest on the outside. I didn't expect to be discovered by the old Patriarch The magic inside is after ancient magic—"

After that, he couldn't continue, but Xu Anjiu could also imagine that it was probably reported to the family, and then the family members arrested Baekhyun's mother and used her magic power for experiments.She has also heard a little about the amulet, and Lu Han mentioned it once or twice, and he said before that he wanted to use it for research.

If it is the ancient magic of time, then everything makes sense, it is not a life-saving talisman, but it just returns the time to the time when everything happened for nothing.

The Baek family is one of the few families where each member has an amulet. From this point of view, it is probably because of Baekhyun's mother.

"And I—become an illegitimate child, an orphan, and suffer their siege every day—" He gritted his teeth when he said this, wishing to wipe out the Baek family.

If so, then everything can be explained.

Out of guilt, the old Patriarch suspended the research on 'Jing Ci', but when he came to Bai Nian, he restarted the research on 'Jing Ci', partly because of family tradition, partly because of his mother.

As for why Bai Nian's mother took his life, Bian Boxian is obviously not clear about it, but it must have something to do with him, otherwise Bai Nian wouldn't hate him so much.

These twists and turns are indeed very frustrating. After hearing this series of things, Xu Anjiu couldn't help rubbing his temples. Sure enough, the big family has a lot of things to do.

Wait a minute--

What Bian Baekhyun said just now is that his mother is the ancient magic of time?

"Axian, your mother is the ancient magic of time?"

Speaking of "Jing Ci" is also an ancient magic of time, and Jin Minxi said that super-R-level ancient magic is alive, that is to say, it can transform into a human form.

Bian Baekhyun nodded: "But it's not 'Jing Ci', it's just ordinary ancient time magic."

"Then you..." Is he also ancient magic?

"I'm not." Bian Baekhyun saw her thoughts, "But I can use ancient magic. If ancient magic is a lock, then I am the key. It's amazing, and I think it's amazing too."

No wonder...

No wonder Luhan said that traces of using ancient magic were detected on him before, and the current external conditions cannot satisfy the use of ancient magic, but Baekhyun can use his own internal conditions to use ancient magic as well.Maybe he is the only one in Yuri Continent who can do this.

"So that's the case." She nodded knowingly.

But it still feels amazing.

Ancient magic can take human form, so could Jingci also be able to take human form? If so, would it also exist in a corner of this continent?If he could find it, Xu Anjiu really wanted to sit down and have a good chat with it.

The offspring of ancient magic and humans have the ability to use ancient magic, which is completely beyond Xu Anjiu's original cognition.Is there such a thing in this world?Could it still be like this?

She found that since she met Bian Baekhyun, her cognition has been constantly being broken and then rebuilt.

"Long time." Bian Boxian suddenly took her hand, and then gently hugged her in his arms.

The tone was gentle, but somehow it made her feel a little cold, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on her arms.

"I've already told you a secret, should you exchange one with me?"

She felt that her tongue was a little knotted: "What...what?"

"Tell me, why do you want to study and prove that the outer protective cover is unlocked?"
