Chapter 1385 Memory
The great witch's fear and worry about death suddenly disappeared when Wei Zhong imprisoned him in a remote dungeon in the palace used to imprison wrongdoers. If the Emperor of Zhou wanted to kill him, why bother to imprison him? .
But the great witch began to worry that Bai Qingyan wanted to take him for his own use, and whether he would be tortured if he disobeyed. This worry lasted until Bai Qingyan came to the dungeon in person.
The two young eunuchs behind Wei Zhong placed a chair outside the cell. After Wei Zhong wiped it clean with a handkerchief, he respectfully invited Bai Qingyan to take a seat.
Bai Qingyan stared at the great witch of Tianfeng Kingdom who was kneeling and kowtowing with lowered eyebrows. He sat down, put his elbows on the armrests of the seat, and said with a smile: "I heard that after you were invited in, you sat down cross-legged without being impatient. Here, do you think...by locking you here, Dazhou wants to use you for his own use?"
Having guessed what he was thinking, the great witch stiffened up and dared not raise his head: "Foreign ministers don't dare!"
"I heard that the great witch of yours has never failed in his fortune-telling. After coming in, the great witch... did he make a fortune for himself to see how I planned to deal with you?"
Listening to Bai Qingyan's cold voice, the great witch buried his head lower: "The great witch cannot divine for himself..."
"Oh..." Bai Qingyan nodded, "Then you have done divination for Tianfeng Kingdom, and you have predicted that... Tianfeng Kingdom will either be locked up in that sandy land by the Great Zhou, or it will be destroyed by the Great Zhou. Is Zhou included in the territory?"
Hearing this, the great witch suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Qingyan with wide eyes, only to see the young emperor sitting on a chair, dressed casually in regular clothes with rolling clouds and dark patterns. The swaying firelight on the wall reflected the delicate figure of the female emperor. His facial features are indescribably majestic.
Looking at the appearance of the great witch, Bai Qingyan turned to Wei Zhong and said, "Take someone to guard outside."
"Yes!" Wei Zhong responded and led the people to retreat.
Now that the great witch was imprisoned in the dungeon, he was searched before being imprisoned. He did not carry any hidden weapons, and since there was a cell door between him, Wei Zhong was naturally not worried about the great witch hurting Bai Qingyan.
She leaned forward slightly: "I'm keeping you alive just to let you answer my questions. Please tell me... how can I go back in time?"
When the great witch heard Bai Qingyan's question, he knew that the jade cicada was indeed on Bai Qingyan's body.
When the great witch didn't say anything, Bai Qingyan smiled and asked, "Do you need me to ask our Minister of Punishment to come and question you personally?"
The great witch tightened his palms and said: "The male jade cicada and the female jade cicada merge into one, and if you sacrifice your life, you can go back in time."
"Dishonest……"
As soon as the great witch finished speaking, Bai Qingyan said that he was dishonest. He was obviously very confident. The great witch was unsure and kowtowed repeatedly: "That's what the last great witch told me."
When Bai Qingyan came back from rebirth, she didn't have the jade cicada in Sal Khan's hand when she died, only the one Xiao Rongyan gave her.
"Is the time when time goes back determined by people's will?" Bai Qingyan did not continue to ask, but changed the question. After asking, he smiled and said, "Think clearly about the answer, you Tianfeng Kingdom I also have a copy of "Guoben Chronicle" here."
Bai Qingyan did not have the book "Guoben Chronicle" in hand, but there was a story about the record of giant elephants in "Guoben Chronicle". Bai Jintong knew that she had a good relationship with the nobles from the Tianfeng Kingdom, and heard the nobles mention it. , so when I first talked about the giant elephant with Bai Qingyan, I also wrote down this story and sent it back.
The great witch rolled his eyes and swallowed back what he originally wanted to say to deceive Bai Qingyan.
Originally, the great witch was planning to tell Bai Qingyan that it could be decided by people's wishes and ask Bai Qingyan to go to Sal Khan to get the female jade cicada, so that Sal Khan would know that the male jade cicada was in Bai Qingyan's hands. But if Bai Qingyan had the "Guoben Chronicle", I'm afraid he would have known about it.
"Since your Majesty has the "National Chronicle" of our Tianfeng Kingdom, why do you come to ask me again?" The great witch straightened his spine and looked at Bai Qingyan.
"There are too many state affairs. I haven't finished reading them yet. I only saw that the giant elephant was originally a mount of the gods. He made a mistake and was exiled as a slave of the people of Tianfeng Kingdom. So I came to ask you."
The great witch thought for a while and listened to Bai Qingyan talking about the contents of "Guoben Chronicle". He felt that what Bai Qingyan was telling was probably not a lie. After all, "Guoben Chronicle" was only owned by a few noble families in Tianfeng Kingdom, and They are all enshrined at home, and ordinary nobles and civilians have no access to them.
At this time, the great witch of Tianfeng Kingdom had begun to wonder whether any of these nobles from the "Guoben Chronicle" had betrayed their family and country and joined forces with Zhou Dynasty?
"The "National Chronicle" is written in the Chinese language of Tianfen. Your Majesty...can you understand it?"
"Aren't you Tianfeng people very good at learning the writing and language of Da Zhou?" Bai Qingyan said with an impatient look, "I'm here to ask you because I don't want to waste time, but I'm not here to accompany you. Spend time here."
The great witch looked at Bai Qingyan's impatient expression, and then thought about Bai Qingyan's words in the main hall asking him to calculate how many Bai family members were still alive in the battle in Southern Xinjiang, and whether he could kill his head, he felt that Yan Ai was not as wise as the rumors outside, but a tyrant with the help of wise ministers.
He panicked, kowtowed and said truthfully: "According to the records of Tianfeng Kingdom, the time of looking back is not determined by people, and there is no rule. Sometimes it will be twenty years, thirty years... or even fifty years. Sometimes it can take a day or even a few hours. It all depends on the age of the person holding the male cicada. It will definitely be when the person holding the male cicada is still alive. However, according to the records of the queen who used the jade cicada. It seems that as long as you sincerely pray to the gods... there is still a high possibility that you can go back to the time when the person holding the Gongchan wants to go back, but when you look back... the time point of each time you look back should not exceed the time mentioned above. A day of looking back.”
The great witch of Tianfeng Kingdom felt that it would not be a big deal even if he told Bai Qingyan about this matter. If Bai Qingyan knew about this matter, if he wanted to join forces with Sal Khan, he could go back to the time of the Battle of Southern Border in the Great Zhou Dynasty to save her. The family members of the family, and then going back to the time when her royal husband died and saved his royal husband, there is no conflict in the chronological order.
When Bai Qingyan heard this, her tightly clenched hands slowly relaxed.
She whispered: "Let me guess, the female jade cicada is important, but not as important as the male jade cicada. It is the male jade cicada who can go back in time, and under what circumstances the male jade cicada can go back in time..."
Bai Qingyan narrowed his eyes and looked at the great witch: "Based on the legend, it should be a diagnostic object or a person who was destroyed or disappeared, breaking the mother jade cicada?"
Bai Qingyan pondered for a long time, wondering if her resurrection from the dead was just a coincidence. The female jade cicada broke into pieces, and the male jade cicada happened to be in her hands, so when she looked back in time...she took the memory with her.
