Salt woman and white lotus

Surrounded by noisy voices, many of them have various emotions such as admiration, praise and regret.Standing among them, Chi Zhongying only felt that she was out of place with them.

She caressed the person in the painting, and the artist described her stubborn expression and Qingcheng's eyebrows and eyes, which were similar but not similar to the Baiyan she knew.

Following the flow of people, looking at the stone walls one by one, what Baiyan has experienced is staggering.

The former Suzhuang Palace treated her poorly.

Someone forcibly twisted her will.

— “You feel like all your emotions belong to another person, and you yourself are like a possessed ghost.”

This is Chi Zhongying's evaluation of the abnormal state of the left guest.She still remembered that when Bai Yan heard this sentence, his expression was a little dazed.It's just that Chi Zhongying thought that she might not be sober at that time, and ignored this.

For this evaluation, is it possible for Bai Yan to have doubted herself for a moment in the dead of night and scarred?

Chi Zhongying looked at the white salt on the last stone wall.In the painting, she has already covered up her appearance at this time.In this world, no one sees her stunning face, only remembers her terrifying strength.

Baiyan used to distrust anyone's feelings for her. Apart from Chaos Essence's talent of seeing people's good and evil, there must be other people who have tampered with her.

Thinking of this, Chi Zhongying turned around and went to Suzhuang Palace's stronghold in Wuzhen.

She was here a few days ago.The stronghold of Suzhuang Palace is quite special, and some items can be transferred within a short distance.

— such as books.

She had read many books related to the organizational structure of Suzhuang Palace in Wuxi Pavilion earlier, but she didn't know all kinds of special rules and biographies in detail.

Putting enough spirit stones in the teleportation array, Chi Zhongying's consciousness was thrown to the other side of the teleportation array, and was soon automatically transferred to Wuxi Pavilion by the array.She sent all the books whose names seemed to be related to what she wanted to know.

Soon, tomes appeared one after another from the teleportation array.

"If you read it quickly, you can probably read it all before dawn tomorrow." Chi Zhongying thought, and told Bai Yan that she would not go back tonight, then picked up the stack of books, and asked the waiter for an empty room Careful study.

Many of these books are special classics that only the white-character generation can read, and even record some secrets that the core disciples do not know.After all, no one would choose to read all the miscellaneous books that have nothing to do with cultivation and relaxation like her in their spare time.

Regarding the birth of Suzhuang Palace, the rights and obligations of the core disciples in Suzhuang Palace, and the responsibilities of the chief disciples of the past...

She browsed quickly, sorting the important information one by one.

As time went by, the pile of unread books decreased rapidly.

Chi Zhongying glanced at the sky, and stretched habitually, but unexpectedly, her body swayed and touched the table; the stack of books that had been read on the table wobbled, and finally fell to the ground in a crash.

Books protected by fairy art are naturally not so easy to break. Chi Zhongying shook her head, pulled herself together, and picked up those books one by one and put them away.

Chi Zhongying was slightly surprised when he picked up the last book.She looked carefully at the pages of the book, and found that several pages were hidden.They are sandwiched inside the paper, and spiritual power must be injected to read their contents.

But when Chi Zhongying browsed for the first time just now, she didn't notice this.

Putting the book on the table and spreading it out, Chi Zhongying held the page with both hands, and the spiritual power carefully melted into the page.Not long after, a soft white light lit up on the pages of the book, and with that light, her consciousness detected the content written on these hidden pages.

There are not many hidden pages, only about ten pages in total.On these pages, some special things are recorded.

"Self-sacrifice and emotional deprivation..." Chi Zhongying couldn't help reading out.

This is a title that is enough to make people disgusted just by listening to it.Chi Zhongying was a little afraid to read on, but she had to.

The book describes in great detail how to strip a person of all his emotions as a human being.This is undoubtedly a forbidden technique. Even if a puppet is made from a living person, it will not strip away all the emotions of the subject.But in this book, the ancestors of Suzhuang Palace recorded such spells.

How to understand and control a person's emotions and choices, how to gradually deprive a person of his "superfluous" desires from basic necessities of life, how to make a person lose all his companions, and make him only trust and protect Suzhuang Palace...

How to turn a living person into a tool like an arm.

For a moment, Chi Zhongying almost thought that there was some formation in the book that drained all her spiritual power and devoured her whole body.

Otherwise why would she feel so powerless?She couldn't even sit comfortably on the chair.

Suzhuang Palace is not at all as bright and majestic as it appears on the surface.

She continued to read, and the ancestor who wrote this also explained why Suzhuang Palace had to do this.

"Someone needs to be an introduction to drive goodwill and unity."

"People are selfish. If they are not like this, the long-term existence of Suzhuang Palace will never be guaranteed..."

He made three pages of excuses for himself, but in the end, he admitted it all.

"Suzhuang Palace is declining day by day, and people are panicking. Therefore, we have to take this bad strategy. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, this technique must be used in times of crisis. As compensation, anyone who inherits this forbidden technique can use it for the rest of their lives. There is no written order in Suzhuang Palace, and it unconditionally orders everyone in the sect to use unlimited materials at will."

No word order.

Chi Zhongying had already guessed, but when she saw these three words, she still felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Baiyan has a token without words.

Did she know that she had been subjected to such a vicious spell?

Treat your own life as a dispensable bargaining chip, and habitually consume your life to protect others.

The indulgence that appeared after being drunk and her confession, she was not willing to become a victim, and only a victim.

Chi Zhongying opened the biography again, and found the part about Bai Xuening.Bai Xuening was the chief of the previous generation, and she was once the senior sister of Suzhuang Palace, but she was luckier than Bai Yan, she was not born in troubled times, so she didn't need to be cast with that kind of spell.

It's a pity that she is ruthless by nature.

Bai Xuening was recognized by Yunshu. Because of her, Yunshu became a human being more than two thousand years ago, and the power of chaos stored in the artifact condensed into white salt.

Chi Zhongying flipped through Bai Xuening's life, felt her book pages on a whim, and confirmed that it also had hidden pages.

Chi Zhongying injected spiritual power into it, and read out the heavily blocked content with the spiritual power certified by the core disciples of Suzhuang Palace.

On the hidden page, it is clearly recorded that Bai Xuening chose Baiyan as the holder of the wordless token.

Looking at it item by item, the hidden page records many facts that cannot be known to outsiders.Including Bai Xuening's death, the most experienced coroner in Suzhuang Palace concluded that she was killed by Baimian.

"Bai Mianxiu has the way of time, even if he doesn't have great success, it is enough for him to set a trap and kill anyone easily."

Bai Xuening is dead, and those past events can no longer be pursued.

Chi Zhongying sent the book back to Wuxi Pavilion, and against the fading sky, returned to their temporary residence.

With the white salt for napping to replenish energy, I will gradually not be so completely unconscious at night.Hearing movement in the room, she guessed that Chi Zhongying had returned.

"Where did you go? How did you go? Did you enjoy yourself?"

After finishing speaking, Bai Yan looked at Chi Zhongying's back, and belatedly realized that she might not be so happy.

— Rather, she wasn't happy at all.

"What happened?"

Chi Zhongying stood blankly for a long while before she came back to her senses and went to the table and sat down.

"I saw your past." She said softly, "How could they treat you like that? How could they turn a living person into a prop that only serves Suzhuang Palace?"

Chi Zhongying was very puzzled.Killing 1 people is evil, but killing one person is not evil?If harming one person can save tens of thousands of people, it may be worth a try, but is there really no other way to achieve both?

This is not a multiple-choice question. No one said that there is only one correct answer, and one must be discarded to save the other; no one said that there is only one reasonable understanding.

Bai Yan hugged Chi Zhongying silently.She doesn't know the answers she wants.She is not omnipotent, she always makes mistakes when it comes to feelings.She couldn't guess what those people were thinking, she could only know that they were using her.

However, that use was also not malicious.

Thinking about it now, they should be sympathetic to themselves, pity what happened to her, but they don't think they were wrong.

Chi Zhongying patted Bai Yan's back.She didn't know what expression to make.She was angry that those people did not treat Baiyan as an equal person; thinking of the abuse revealed between the lines in the book, she felt sad for Baiyan;

She really wanted to have the power of White Mian.She wants to go back to Baiyan's past that she didn't participate in. When Baiyan is sad, hug her and tell her: You did a good job.

The most sincere emotion is ruthlessly abandoned and used.The most sincere people in this world are often the most easily hurt.

This is actually the case with the Remaining Guest, unknowingly carrying too much burden, gradually being overwhelmed by others, being molded into what others want, and losing the true self.

I can't remember my original intention, can't make the choices I should make, and can't see clearly the path I want to take in the future.

what is aliveChi Zhongying didn't know how to describe it, but she felt that the infinitely beautiful word "freedom" was enough to sum up all her thoughts.

Every move is produced under the control of one's own consciousness, and the direction of progress is chosen and controlled by oneself.

To be able to appreciate the beauty and hardships in life, to have love and glory, and to be able to struggle in difficult situations.

Know what you like, what you want, what you don't like, and what you can say no to.Know that you have the qualifications to have everything, know that you can work hard towards your goals.

To be able to see a world filled with light, to be free to be myself, to truly know that I am who I am.

"Yanyan, I seem to know...how to answer the question of the lefter."

"Okay, we'll go and tell her when it's daylight."
