Chapter 217 The truth about Bigan and Ximei’s secret
If the nine-headed pheasant spirit had said this, Zhang Zixing would have dismissed it, but now that even the female slayer has said this, Zhang Zixing cannot completely ignore it.
Thinking about some past scenes, Zhang Zixing couldn't help but start to consider a question that he had never thought of before: Could it be that Daji was really tempted by his identity as Xiaoyaozi? Isn't this also one of the variables in becoming a god?
When he thought of this, he thought of Daji's sad expression when he left just now, which seemed to be lingering in his mind. I don't know if it was because Daji resembled Yu Xian, but Zhang Zixing felt upset for a while and couldn't calm down. He couldn't calm down. Wanting to think more about this matter, he instead turned his attention to Kong Xuan and asked: "Brother Xian, what is the ambiguity between you and the nine-headed pheasant spirit? It ended up like this! Also, what exactly is that promise? What's going on?"
Kong Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, don't make fun of me. There is no ambiguity between me and her. It's just because I fought with Dapeng back then. Dapeng was defeated repeatedly, so he stole the fire crystal of the Phoenix clan in order to refine the Great Mother." The blazing flames of the Phoenix are against me. This fire crystal is the greatest secret treasure of the Phoenix clan. It is not only related to the destiny of the Phoenix clan, but also seriously affects the inheritance and continuation of the bloodline. After the fire crystal was stolen, the Phoenix clan really mutated, so Something happened to the descendants of Yu Yu. It was because of this that the nine-headed pheasant spirit was born. Because of its strange appearance and blood dripping from its body, it was regarded as an evil spirit by the Feng clan, who deprived it of its power and expelled it from the clan. The incident can be considered to have started because of me. I went to search for her, rescued her from a monster, taught her the secrets of the Phoenix Clan, and promised to take action three times."
Ying Long asked: "She just said that you only saved her twice, but why?"
Kong Xuan shook his head: "Daji has returned to the palace. This is not the place for a long conversation. It is better to rush back to the palace with the emperor first, and then we can talk in detail after we have dealt with it."
Everyone immediately rushed to Chaoge. When Zhang Zixing returned to the harem in the attire of an emperor, he met Daji with a look of sadness on his face. Zhang Zixing deliberately looked impatient and asked: "My beloved concubine, where is Ximei?"
At the mention of Ximei's name, Daji couldn't help but burst into tears. She leaned on his chest and cried loudly, like raindrops with pear blossoms, which was endearing. Zhang Zixing had now changed his identity, so he could only pretend to be affectionate and comfort him with kind words. Daji's sorrow seemed to have found an outlet, and she cried harder and harder, soaking a large area of his outer robe.
Daji finally stopped crying. Zhang Zixing asked her where Ximei was. Daji hesitated for a while and said: "Husband, I didn't expect that my sister is so lucky! The old disease has not occurred in nearly ten years, but it has become so rapid this time. She Before he even got to the palace and drank the Qiqiao Linglong Decoction, he had already died of illness in the northern suburbs..."
Zhang Zixing pretended to be shocked: "How could this happen? Didn't I ask the national preceptor Xiaoyaozi to pick up Ximei?"
When Daji heard the word Xiaoyaozi, she gritted her teeth slightly, her eyes changed rapidly, and finally she sighed softly and said: "I was summoned by my sister with a developing mirror before she died. The national master may not have met my sister before. He even returned empty-handed."
Zhang Zixing originally thought that Daji was going to accuse Xiaoyaozi of his evil deeds, but from the beginning to now, Daji never mentioned any of Xiaoyaozi's faults and took him away lightly, which made the countermeasures he prepared come to nothing.
Daji told a story about Ximei's death, and handed two mirrors to Zhang Zixing, saying they were Ximei's last relics. Then she burst into tears. Zhang Zixing knew that what she said was false and her grief was real, so she had to reveal
With a sad face, he put away the "relic" mirror as if it were a treasure.
Daji remembered that the two kings had summoned the ministers to consult and compare, and she knelt down to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, you are not blessed to be charming, but Daji is incompetent. Your Majesty caused your Majesty to kill the Prime Minister and the Emperor's uncle in vain, and was blamed by Wei Zi, Ji Zi and all the ministers. Please, please
Your Majesty convicts you."
Wei Zi, Ji Zi was originally a cover, including the matter of Bigan, there was a lot of water. How could Zhang Zixing really be questioned by the ministers? He immediately picked up Daji and said: "The matter of Bigan,
Although it is a pity, the matter has come to this and cannot be undone. And the death of Ximeixiang is even more heartbreaking. This is the number of days and has nothing to do with you. Don't be too sad at this time. You must take care of yourself to avoid injury.
"Body. I have no fate with Ximei, and I even lost my beauty, causing her to die of illness. It is a lifelong regret. You are my favorite wife. If you are sick again, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."
Daji was treated with extreme indifference at Xiaoyaozi. When she returned to the palace, the emperor showed great concern for her. He was secretly moved and said, "Your Majesty has neglected government affairs for me and provoked criticism from the world. I am really a big business criminal!"
"Since I came to the throne, I have cultivated civil and military skills and created a peaceful world. Even if there is a small disaster now, it is not a trouble. Instead of watching the intrigues of the ministers in court every day, it is better to use these time to accompany my beloved concubine. Even though it is a huge crime,
I also have to bear the burden, you are just a woman, what does it have to do with you?" Zhang Zixing stared at her red and swollen eyes, and emphasized his tone: "I treat you sincerely, even if you lose this great country, it is meaningless.
regret!"
Daji was even more moved, but secretly sighed in her heart, because she came here to subvert the "great country" of the Shang Dynasty for six hundred years. Although the emperor made her moved and even grateful, the final result of "subversion" was
But it cannot be changed, and it is powerless to change.
Although Daji was an extraordinary human being, after what she had experienced today, she was exhausted physically and mentally from great joy to great sorrow. Under Zhang Zixing's deliberate comfort, she fell into a deep sleep not long after returning to Shou Immortal Palace, without any need for magic water drops. Zhang Zixing looked at the
The face that was so familiar to her in her "previous life" showed a heartbreaking look of haggardness. She felt a sense of emotion in her heart, sighed secretly, ordered Gun to donate her life to serve her, and walked out.
At this time, Kong Xuan and Ying Long were still in the base under Zhaixing Building, but Zhang Zixing did not go to the base immediately. Instead, he immediately changed into casual clothes and went to the residence of Emperor Uncle Bigan.
Since the heart-cutting incident occurred during the day, the door to Bigan's mansion has been closed, and even the ministers with whom he usually has good relations cannot enter. What is completely different from outsiders' imagination is that Bigan is not "bedridden" or "sick" at this time.
"He died in the house", on the contrary, his life was quite "moist".
Zhang Zixing sneaked into Bigan's study and saw him lying comfortably on the rocking chair given by Yu while drinking the fine wine given by the "National Master". How could he look like he was being "plucked out of his heart"?
"Master Prime Minister, you are living a comfortable life!"
A sudden sound in the room startled Bigan, and the confidant guard guarding the door was also startled. When did this man enter the study? He was about to pounce on him, but Bigan stopped him with a sharp voice:
"Stop! Please retreat quickly, close the door tightly, and no one is allowed to enter!"
After the guards retreated, Bigan bowed to Zhang Zixing and said, "I see Your Majesty, I'd like to apologize for the offense I just made."
Zhang Zixing said: "I came here in disguise today to visit my uncle's noble body. Why are you so polite?"
Bigan was not a rigid person who would stick to the past. He stood up immediately and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of me anymore. Today, I am grateful to Your Majesty for your kindness. I just take the opportunity to stay lazy in the mansion for a while."
Zhang Zixing nodded: "Uncle, you have worked very hard for Dashang. You should take a break."
Bigan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister just now is joking. Your Majesty has been plotting in secret in recent years. I guess there will be a storm coming for the great merchants. How can I avoid it? Your Majesty has been kind to me since he came to the throne.
, I have always trusted him and entrusted him with important responsibilities. Even if I really have to have my belly cut out and my heart removed today, I will not hesitate to die."
"Uncle Huang treated me with loyalty, and I reciprocated my sincerity, so how could it hurt you at all? Uncle Huang, please rest for a while," Zhang Zixing asked again when Bigan nodded thoughtfully.
: "How is your wound healing?"
Bigan showed admiration and said: "Your Majesty is really miraculous in his ability to take out my heart and replace it. After your Majesty's wonderful hands, my original heartache has been cured. Although there is slight pain at the wound, it is still intact."
It’s okay.”
"Uncle Emperor, it's better not to drink alcohol until the wound is healed. Your health is important." Zhang Zixing explained to Bigan for a while before using his escape technique and leaving.
It turns out that although Bigan is said to be the seven-orificed exquisite heart of Lord Wenquxing who came to this world, it is unknown whether it is because the mortal body cannot bear it. He often suffers from heartache and is unbearable. After Zhang Zixing learned about this, he was planning to deal with it.
When the Nine-Headed Pheasant came out, he immediately had a thought and performed a heart transplant for Bigan. He gave Bigan an artificial heart and kept the replaced Qiqiao Exquisite Heart for safekeeping. This artificial heart is not only
It is just a simple pacemaker. It is the latest research result of biotechnology. Its function is far superior to that of the ordinary human heart. Bigan can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
That day at the Star-Zhaing Tower, after the samurai dragged Bigan down, he actually slightly processed the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart that had been kept "fresh" and served it as if it were "freshly baked." Daji was born in the demon clan and had his own
Secret Technique, after identifying that it was indeed the "original product", he immediately had no doubt that he had fallen into the trap, and Ximei followed suit, eliminating a confidant.
Speaking of Ximei, Zhang Zixing was really interested in the gossip about Kong Xuan and the nine-headed pheasant spirit. He immediately rushed back to the palace and came to the base of Zhaixing Tower. Among them were Zhang Zixing, Shang Qingjun, Yinglong and Nuba.
Under "pressure", Kong Xuan finally told the past about the Nine-Headed Pheasant Essence.
Back then, due to Dapeng's theft of fire crystals and the fight with Kong Xuan, the Phoenix clan mutated.
After Kong Xuan took back the fire crystal and returned it to the Phoenix clan, he learned about the nine-headed "phoenix" and thought that it was also caused by him. In order to completely resolve the cause and effect, he went to find the nine-headed bird.
Although the Nine-Headed Bird was deprived of its inheritance power due to mutation, it still has the blood of the Phoenix Clan. With its own efforts, it finally gained a glimpse of some of the ordinary demon clan's cultivation techniques, and finally transformed into a woman. Because she hated
The Phoenix clan expelled him, so he gave up the name "Feng" and called himself the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit.
One day, she met a demon man who called himself Zhu Guannian. He was like an ape with a white head and bare feet. He was actually Zhu Yan, an ancient demon beast with extraordinary cultivation. Zhu Guannian coveted her beauty and wanted to kidnap her.
Lustfully humiliated, the nine-headed pheasant spirit tried its best to fight, but was far from Zhu Yan's opponent, and immediately refused to obey. At this time, Kong Xuan arrived just in time, and with just a few moves, he killed Zhu Yan and took the elixir as a gift.
She drank the essence of the nine-headed pheasant and taught her some of the secret techniques of the Phoenix clan.
Kong Xuan also gave her three peacock feathers, saying that she could summon them if she was in trouble in the future, and he would save her three more times, regardless of success or failure, to end this relationship.
The nine-headed pheasant spirit has been coldly scorned since she was born. She has never met someone who treated her like Kong Xuan. She was extremely grateful at the moment and aroused the desire to follow and serve her. Unfortunately, Kong Xuan was devoted to cultivating the Tao and had no other ideas. After explaining this
After everything was done, he left without saying much.
Therefore, the nine-headed pheasant spirit who named herself Ximei practiced hard according to the techniques taught by Kong Xuan, and coupled with the power of Zhu Yan's alchemy, she made rapid progress and finally achieved success. Since practicing the red blood escape technique requires various rare medicinal materials
Auxiliary, she spent a long time collecting blood phoenix grass, and basically had it all, except for the Blood Phoenix Grass from Juefeng Cave, a forbidden area of the Phoenix Clan. For this reason, Ximei sneaked into Juefeng Cave secretly, trying to collect Blood Phoenix Grass, but was blocked by Juefeng Cave in the forbidden area.
She was trapped by the fierce wind and almost died. She thought of Kong Xuan's words and immediately unlocked the restrictions on the peacock feathers. The peacock feathers turned into ashes and flew away. Soon Kong Xuan came to Juefeng Cave, rescued Ximei and helped her
Gather the Blood Phoenix Grass.
Zhang Zixing was secretly glad that when he first practiced Red Blood Escape Technique, all the materials were handled by Kong Xuan, and he thought it was very easy. Today, when he heard about the experience of the Nine-Headed Pheasant Essence, he realized how difficult it was. Comparing people with each other, anger
A dead man, after such a comparison, he realizes that he is in the midst of blessings and does not know how to be blessed.
The second time Ximei used peacock feathers was when Dayu was controlling the floods. At this time, Ximei's cultivation had greatly improved and she had reached the peak of the middle-level Golden Immortal. Because she had promised Kong Xuan not to retaliate against the Feng clan
, so he vented his anger and anger, which had been depressed for many years, everywhere, causing harm to the world and earning the reputation of "ghost car".
When Dayu was controlling the floods, he happened to encounter Gui Chai casting a rain of blood to poison the creatures. He immediately cast a spell and fought with Ximei. Dayu had Jiuding in his hand, but Ximei was defeated. Even the Chiyuan Pearl, which was the essence of the inner elixir, was also destroyed.
If Jiuding is taken away, his cultivation will be greatly reduced.
She herself was unable to dodge and was suppressed by Jiuding. At the critical moment, Ximei summoned Kong Xuan with a peacock feather, but Kong Xuan happened to be fighting a strong enemy at that time. Although he had the feeling, he could not get away for a while.
Dayu was about to kill Ximei, but was persuaded by his wife Nvjiao who came over. Nvjiao was originally from the Tushan fox demon clan. Because she was in love with Dayu and was stubborn, she was expelled by the clan and left with only a few trusted descendants.
After hearing about Ximei being abandoned by her tribe, Nvjiao felt the same and felt compassion. She interceded with Dayu and accepted Ximei as his disciple. In order to prevent Ximei from being deceived, Dayu spared her life.
The Chi Yuan Pearl was still kept in the Jiuding. Ximei felt that Nvjiao was kind and kind, and she sincerely admired her. Nv Jiao also promised to persuade Dayu to return the Chi Yuan Pearl to her in the future.
After Dayu left, Kong Xuan came in a hurry and had a fight with Nvjiao. Later, Ximei came out and explained the reason, and only then did he know what happened.
But when Kong Xuan rescued Ximei for the third time, he was involved in a secret matter from the previous court.
It turns out that Ximei was actually the most beloved concubine of Xia Jie, the last tyrant of the Xia Dynasty. She was the first example of beauty being a disaster in history. She was a beauty whose "fame" was still ahead of Daji's in the Shang Dynasty - Meixi!
