Chapter 241 I Have Been Wandering for a Long Time (28)
Xinghe.
Mo Jingchun came uninvited.
At that time, Bai Jinwu was listening to Chao Yan's report on the recent news. When he heard "Dingshanhai disappeared, suspected to have chosen a master", he accidentally dropped a teacup. When he heard "Yanzhi Pavilion Master Luo Jinghong broke through the tribulation", he dropped another teacup.
Bai Jinwu's eyes trembled, and he didn't dare to drink tea anymore.
Xinghe is not as rich as Jinghua, but it is not poor either. Bai Jinwu's courtyard is very desolate, and moss grows on the steps. When he opened the door, there was a field of withered yellow weeds.
Bai Jinwu sat by the window, and the morning sun spread golden warm light. Bai Jinwu was shrouded in it, and inexplicably felt a little more desolate.
"Found it?" Bai Jinwu raised his eyes, and he had regained his calm. His face was indifferent, and only the fragments scattered on the ground and the tea stains on the corners of his clothes showed the embarrassment that had happened here.
Mo Jingchun sat down by himself. He glanced at Chaoyan and saw that Bai Jinwu didn't care, so he said bluntly: "Found it, Yue Qing is in Nanzhou."
"He is very quiet and didn't do anything extra. He has been practicing in seclusion since he got there, but..." Mo Jingchun's face suddenly looked a little strange: "Now, he seems to have only the fusion cultivation."
In this world, Yu Shenghan can't knock Yue Qing down and make him dare not speak out.
There is only one person who can do it.
Bai Jinwu bit his tongue hard, the pain made his brain regain some clarity, he swallowed the blood in his mouth, and said calmly: "I know."
He closed his eyes, "Please go, he is not your opponent now, it doesn't matter what the Qianji Sect does, but Yue Qing must die."
Mo Jingchun didn't mind making a trip, he nodded: "Can't you do it? Or I will catch him?"
Bai Jinwu shook his head: "It doesn't matter if there are some mistakes in the process, as long as the final outcome is not deviated."
"Okay, I will go there myself." Mo Jingchun thought he had nothing to say to Bai Jinwu, he stood up and prepared to say goodbye.
Before leaving, he suddenly looked back at the man's expression: "Bai Jinwu, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Jinwu lowered his eyes: "Why do you ask? What can happen to me?"
"Really? You didn't hide anything from me?"
"...No." Bai Jinwu was silent for a moment: "I have told you everything."
Bai Jinwu never knew that one day, he would become so accustomed to lying, lying without changing his face, and telling the truth very few times.
Mo Jingchun retracted his gaze, "I hope so."
He left with a wave of his sleeves.
Bai Jinwu looked at his back, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sad. Now, can even Mo Jingchun use him?
Chao Yan looked at Bai Jinwu worriedly, and she called softly: "Military Advisor?"
In the first few years, they hated Bai Jinwu very much, hated that he was chosen to be the "protagonist" of the storybook, hated that he came up with such a cruel idea, and hated that he never hesitated to strike the sword... In fact, there was no need for a reason, but it was too bitter and uncomfortable at the time, so they just wanted to find someone to blame in order to let themselves breathe.
When people are in extreme pain, they are often unable to care about others, so they ignore that Bai Jinwu may be the one who suffers the most among them.
And Bai Jinwu's hatred for himself is no less than their hatred for him.
"Chao Yan," Bai Jinwu opened his mouth and said with difficulty after a long time: "Notify Jiang Yuanqiao and others, I have something to announce."
"Yes." Chao Yan knew who the "they" in this sentence referred to - the accomplices who participated in that incident a hundred years ago. She responded and withdrew from the gathering and went to the main hall.
The main hall was covered with several layers of barriers.
Many people came, except for the younger generation born after that, almost all other clansmen came.
If not, there would be no rumors of "the whole clan rebelling".
Bai Jinwu sat at the top, and the people below looked at each other and whispered. With so many people coming, there was a sense of uneasiness and solemnity for no reason.
After everyone arrived, Bai Jinwu said: "The king is still alive."
The people below suddenly became quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, someone stuttered, "Military, military advisor, don't joke like that."
Bai Jinwu would not joke about Shen Minghuan, they all knew that, but they still looked at him with pleading eyes, hoping that what he just said was not true.
Bai Jinwu lowered his eyes slightly, avoiding their gazes, and continued, "Some of you have also seen the king - Fuluoshan, Shen Shu."
Shen Shu, Shen Shu...
Chao Yan remembered.
That person shrank and hid behind Yu Shenghan, that person avoided their eyes, that person watched them have a new master of the galaxy, that person listened to them talking about returning to the galaxy but was silent alone...
That was their king, the king who should always be surrounded by people, always brilliant and bright, and always arrogant, how could he become like this?
Chao Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, tears streaming down her eyes, and she murmured, "Military Advisor, you said that with Wang's ability, he could live very well after leaving the Divine Realm, but he is not living well..."
"No, Wang did it on purpose. He doesn't want us to recognize him. He doesn't want to recognize us."
Bai Jinwu couldn't tell which one was more difficult to accept, "Shen Minghuan is not living well" or "Shen Minghuan doesn't want to recognize them". He calmed down and said, "Wang will be angry, furious, and maybe sad, but he will live for a long time, so long that he will forget... forget us."
Bai Jinwu's breathing stagnated for a moment, and soon returned to normal. He said resolutely: "Even if he will be unhappy, I want him to live."
After the voice fell, the scene fell into silence again.
Everyone's face was struggling, as if they were making an extremely difficult decision.
Suddenly, someone yelled like crazy: "I quit, military advisor, I don't want to do it anymore."
Mixed with crying.
A person in the Spiritualization Stage fell to the ground as if he couldn't stand steadily. He burst into tears: "I, I, that's the king, how can I attack him, how can I attack him a second time? I can't do it."
"Okay." Bai Jinwu was very calm, without pity, without disappointment, and even without hesitation.
He said seriously: "We agreed before that if you don't participate, you can leave now, but you have to promise that you will never reveal these things to anyone."
"Military Advisor, I know I am not strict with my mouth and I love to drink. I have asked my wife to put a ban on my soul." The magic involving the soul has more or less some side effects. This kind of ban is mostly used to control dead soldiers or slaves.
He got up from the ground and glanced at everyone present with shame: "I'm sorry."
He bent over, turned around with a hunched back, and walked towards the gate.
Lin Yu couldn't help but yelled at him: "Yang Kuo, you coward, don't let me look down on you!"
Yang Kuo's fingers trembled when they touched the gate.
Bai Jinwu said sternly: "It was agreed to be voluntary at the beginning, and no one is allowed to force him!"
Yang Kuo shed tears, trembling and pushed open the door, muttering "I'm sorry" all the time.
He also wanted to be brave, and he also wanted to fight side by side with his people, but the other side of the battlefield was his king.
The farewell in the East China Sea a hundred years ago has become a nightmare throughout his life. He has tried, tried hard, and forced himself, but he still can't do it. He is indeed a coward. He is sorry for the king and his people.
Chaoyan calmed down the fastest. She wiped the blood from the corner of her lips and asked calmly: "Military Advisor, what should we do? Is it the same as last time?"
"Yes." Bai Jinwu said: "I want you to take the most ferocious attitude in your life when facing the king, and imagine that he is your biggest enemy."
This is really too difficult. Hatred can be restrained, but faith is hidden in the eyes. How to hide it?
Xu Yaojia thought for a while: "Military Advisor, we can't do it like last time. The king will not give us a second chance."
They can't kill Shen Minghuan a second time.
"Yes, so this time it will be very dangerous. If you are lucky, you can still keep your life. If you are unlucky, you will probably die in the hands of the king." Bai Jinwu's tone was lightly smiling, "Are you afraid?"
What's there to be afraid of dying in the hands of Shen Minghuan? Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. This was much easier to accept than letting Shen Minghuan die in their hands.
"Everyone will die one day. In the storybook anyway, our Xinghe will eventually be destroyed. No one will live long. Wouldn't it be better to die in the hands of the king?" Xu Yaojia said with a smile: "Military Advisor, if you had said it earlier, Yang Kuo might have stayed."
Bai Jinwu sacrificed himself. He was the sacrifice, and Xinghe was the formation that melted him.
Xinghe was willing to pay the price of their lives to send Bai Jinwu to take the last step of breaking the void. Bai Jinwu attracted the thunder of the sky, and the thunder of the immortal struck the Shenyu continent, tearing a barrier for the small world, so that the Shenyu affected by the great catastrophe of heaven and earth had spiritual energy again.
Bai Jinwu died and disappeared, and the souls of the Xinghe people burned out, and in the end they did not see the new world after the spiritual energy was revived.
Bai Jinwu smiled and did not respond.
He has been with Shen Minghuan for so long, and he has not learned that kindness until now. He allowed anyone to withdraw, not because he respected their ideas, nor because he considered them, but because this matter was too important to be shaken.
Of course, he could use words to induce Yang Kuo to change his mind, but what if they themselves were not firm enough and Shen Minghuan saw it?
"Next, all of you follow me out to do something." Bai Jinwu said.
"What to do?"
"You will know when you get there."
Chaoyan and Xu Yaojia looked at each other in confusion, "Military Advisor, where are we going?"
Bai Jinwu said: "Snowfield."
*
"Snowfield."
When Lin Qian asked about his future arrangements, Shen Minghuan said without hesitation: "I will go to the snowfield next."
"What to do?" Lin Qian saw that he seemed to have a plan, but he thought for a long time and didn't think there was anything to go to the snowfield. It was cold there, and there seemed to be nothing special except that the fish were particularly delicious.
But Shen Minghuan would not go there specifically for fishing, right?
Lin Qian looked at Ding Shanhai and said in shock: "You didn't go there for Wanwuchun, did you?"
Although he was very angry that Shen Minghuan threw Wanwuchun in the snowfield, the snowfield would be in trouble if Wanwuchun was gone.
Shen Minghuan nodded, then shook his head, "Yes and no."
He said: "I'm going to check something."
