Chapter 452 Unloading the Mill and Killing the Donkey
When Bai Zhi took Yu Ziqing and the demon soldiers to the spirit world, the elder who came after hearing the news took Yu Ziqing to heal her wounds with a complicated expression, but he did not drive her away because of Bai Zhi's identity.
When he walked out of Yu Ziqing's house, he helped Bai Zhi check her internal injuries and gave her a few nourishing elixirs.
Three years ago, after Qingyunzi died, the First Elder seemed to look away for a moment. He dissolved the Presbyterian Council and no longer interfered with Yu Ziqing's decisions.
It was probably because of his regression that when Yu Ziqing returned later, even though he did not return as a world master, Yi Chengyu was no longer aggressive and just turned a blind eye and pretended that Yu Ziqing did not have the spirit.
The Great Elder didn't ask much, just sighed heavily, and then let Bai Zhi recover from his injuries before leaving. As for the three demon soldiers he brought over, Bai Zhi sent them back with a wink when they arrived in the spirit world.
Entered the demon world.
Bai Zhi was surprised at the great elder's attitude. After all... the old man didn't seem to reject these monsters as much as Yu Ziqing did, and... he didn't seem to be surprised at all that Yu Ziqing would be hurt.
Bai Zhi has always adhered to the principle of asking if you don’t understand!
So she asked.
"You seem to have known that Yu Ziqing would be injured?"
Compared with the old man with gray hair and childish face at the beginning, the Great Elder has gone through many vicissitudes. "I knew from the beginning that you were his doom."
???
Bai Zhi looked confused.
So? Is this the beginning of a plan to beat the mandarin ducks? But Yu Ziqing said that she was injured because of it, and Bai Zhi couldn't refute it. This is indeed a fact. If she hadn't insisted on going to Jiuyou, although Yu Ziqing insisted on going,
But she was also too weak. Although Yu Ziqing was not strong enough, he still insisted on saving her... emmm, but in the end he was injured because he saved her...
But if he said that he wanted her to leave Yu Ziqing because of her fate, how should she answer?
Bai Zhi's heart was full of twists and turns, but the elder didn't know the twists and turns in Bai Zhi's heart.
"He is destined to have this disaster. I don't blame you. After all, it is inevitable."
When the great elder finished speaking, Bai Zhi's mood was extremely complicated. She had spent a long time mentally building up, but this grandpa seemed a bit... too easy to talk to, right?
When you know that your grandson is facing a great calamity, shouldn't you be eager to help solve it? Is it because the great elder has cultivated to the point where he has no desires or desires, so he is so Buddhist?
However, Bai Zhi felt that she could still save the life and prove that she was not the one who harmed Yu Ziqing this time, so she told the whole story.
After all, the matter of Yi Xiaorou is already settled, and everyone will know about it sooner or later.
After the elder heard this, he felt as if he had experienced many changes in his life. He could still remember the scene when he first met Yi Xiaorou.
After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she found that the elder didn't seem surprised, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
Facing Bai Zhi's expression, the great elder could only helplessly shake his head.
He knew that sooner or later such a day would come.
That child is different from her mother.
Her mother is a truly proud daughter of heaven, so she has a simple and kind mind. Not to mention the issue of blood, judging from her eyes, the environment she has lived in since she was a child has been sinister and gloomy, so she is not kind or simple, nor is she
She will be so fragile. If one blow is not fatal, she will grow at an even crazier speed.
It's only a matter of time before you disrupt the world.
It's a pity that the world has been in chaos for a long time, and he has been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and will help him from the very beginning.
In fact, Bai Zhi said this to test his thoughts, but Bai Zhi had nothing to say at the Great Elder's reaction.
Fortunately, Yi Xiaorou came back not long after, alone, without the two heretics, Xie Liang and Ye Qi.
Yi Xiaorou walked along the long corridor with ease, bypassing several pavilions and passing through several courtyards before arriving at a small courtyard. There were only two spirits waiting outside. After seeing Yi Xiaorou, she said respectfully
The gift went out.
Bai Zhi was a little surprised, because they were not surprised by Yi Xiaorou's existence but did not show any contempt or rejection, which clearly showed that the spiritual master valued Yi Xiaorou.
Yi Xiaorou asked her to sit down in the courtyard, and took the tea cup on the stone table in the courtyard to pour a cup of tea for Bai Zhi.
She is a demon, and she has always felt depressed in her body since she came to this spiritual world, but when she sat down in Yi Xiaorou's courtyard, she hardly felt any better.
Angelica dahurica took the tea, the fragrance of tea overflowed, and the smell of it made her feel soothed. Even a demon like Angelica dahurica who doesn't like to drink tea found it good.
"Yi Xiaorou, is your child... okay?" Bai Zhi held the tea cup and hesitated to speak.
When she asked this question, she thought about thousands of Yi Xiaorou's reactions, whether it was anger, her usual calmness, or resentment...
But after hearing this, Yi Xiaorou felt as if she had heard some funny joke, stroking her forehead and started laughing. After she finished laughing, she picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip.
"You don't need to worry about this." Yi Xiaorou lowered her eyes and unconsciously rubbed the rim of the jade cup with her fingers, her tone was very light, as if she was discussing the weather.
Plain and indifferent.
Bai Zhi frowned, she knew she was being reckless, but she was really worried about Yi Xiaorou.
"I'm really worried about you. It's all Yu Ziqing's fault for dragging me along the Netherworld River."
"I don't blame you." Yi Xiaorou said calmly.
She knew, she had always known, that there was no one to blame for this matter but herself for being stupid and trusting Nalan Mufeng.
Bai Zhi was not close to her at that time. Although she was in the ghost world, Nalan Mufeng had set up a ban and she could not contact anyone. To say the least, even if Bai Zhi did come to rescue her, it would only be a wasted life.
Just life.
Moreover, she immediately rushed to Jiuyou to rescue her after knowing about it. Yi Xiaorou also knew that Bai Zhi treated her sincerely.
But knowing is one thing, and feeling frustrated is another.
She had never liked asking for help from others since she was a child, and she had to rely on herself to survive on the line between life and death. But at that time, when her consciousness was gone, she just wanted to ask someone to save her and the child in her belly, even if
It doesn't matter if you sacrifice yourself.
But no...
No one could understand her despair as she struggled in the darkness.
There is no one in this world that she can rely on. On the road to the future, she can only be invincible by overcoming obstacles on her own.
She should not trust Nalan Mufeng easily, should not be lazy and want to rely on him. This mentality itself is the most deadly blade facing her.
But... a person has been alone for a long time, and when there is another person who is kind to her without any purpose, and only has her wholeheartedly, it is like a ray of dawn and a ray of warmth in the darkness, which makes her want to hold on to it at all costs.
She has been alone for too long, she is tired, so she wants to lean on that warm shoulder.
Nalan Mufeng developed her dependence into a habit, and habit... is precisely the most deadly.
The most despairing thing in this world is not that she has nothing, but that she suddenly thinks she owns the whole world after having nothing, and then after she gets used to having it, everything is taken away from her and thrown into hell.
Yi Xiaorou can no longer be as defenseless as before. She will only become more defensive and colder than when they first met.
Bai Zhi seemed to understand this, so she didn't repeat the topic after Yi Xiaorou finished speaking.
"Now that the barrier is broken, what should we do next?"
Yi Xiaorou clasped her fingers rhythmically on the stone table and squinted her eyes, "Now there are many big demons in the upper realm starting to surge towards the lower realm, killing many humans and little demons to seize cultivation. Maybe this is an opportunity.
.”
Bai Zhi frowned, not quite understanding what Yi Xiaorou meant.
"In addition to suppressing the scattered big demons in the lower realm, the fairy world now dares not take action against the forces of other groups. After all, before these big demons poured into the lower realm, the six realms in the upper and lower realms were still clearly distinct."
"Nowadays, a large amount of pure power is pouring into the lower realm. There must be a lot of talented people in the bottleneck period. These spiritual powers are enough for them to break through the bottleneck and advance to several levels. Then the rising stars rise, the six realms are in chaos, and the goal of the fairy world is
If it’s too big, naturally you can’t control it too much. Isn’t it just the right time?”
The target is big, so naturally she doesn't have the energy to catch them in the demon world. Now they are busy suppressing the big demon, so she can take advantage of this moment to recruit demon talents from everywhere, ah no, talents are also available, and start to expand her power. Anyway, the fairy world has no time to take care of itself.
No.
"You mean, recruiting talents?" Bai Zhi immediately grasped the key point of Yi Xiaorou's words.
"Well, the target can be enlarged. Anyway, heresy has reappeared in the world, and strength is much more important than category. As long as you have enough capital to attract those masters, you are not afraid that your power will not expand."
Bai Zhi frowned, "But it's okay to be from the demon world. The masters of other races have become powerful themselves. They probably won't accept the solicitation from the demon world, because I don't have much capital..."
After all, after becoming powerful, real money and money are no longer valued, and the only thing that matters is resources. The foundation of the demon world can be said to be the weakest among the six realms, and there may not be many treasures or secrets to come up with.
Yi Xiaorou slowly refilled her cup of tea and said slowly.
"It is definitely impossible to turn masters into subordinates. After all, as long as they are stronger than you, they will not be willing to accept recruitment, so you can treat them as guests or allies to control the demon world."
After all, after becoming a strong person, even though they may not be very strong in the upper world, they can accept Bai Zhi's solicitation. As long as they show their sincerity and attitude, they will be happy to be supported by others. After all, they do not have such treatment in the upper world.
The main thing is that Bai Zhi's dog-legged posture is good, Yi Xiaorou thinks so.
"When your power develops, they won't be able to leave even if they beg you."
When those strong men open the way to the upper world for Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi has her own resources and power, they will be useless. But after all, they were used to it in the demon world from the beginning. When the demon world really becomes stronger, they will be superior.
They have made enough gestures outside, and asking them to leave is equivalent to going out and being laughed at by others.
After hearing this, Bai Zhi also understood what Yi Xiaorou meant.
Kill the donkey by removing the grinding mill, this is a powerful move!
No wonder Bai Zhi fell in love with Yi Xiaorou at first sight...
