Crown of Silence

Chapter 801 Joke

Zhendan, the kingdom.

The Iron Temple under the Imperial Palace.

The frenzied glow burned, burning everyone's eyes, and also illuminated the hard-to-conceal mottled spots on Bai Heng's hair roots.

In the pure white that the celestial beings were proud of, even a little bit of dimness was so annoying.

So... confusing.

"Speaking of which."

Bai Heng shook his head and sighed: "For so long, I have been following my own will, doing things against the grain, messing around, and making many people curious: Do I have any secrets that are not bound by the blood of the celestial beings?"

Facing the astonished expressions of Dong Wanggong and Yunlou Qingshu, Bai Heng smiled happily.

"Yes, I do."

He nodded and said seriously:

"-Because I am not even a celestial being."

Dong Wanggong's expression was indifferent, without the slightest anger or gloom, as if he had accepted this lightly, with countless rainbow lights flashing in his pupils, looking for a way to break the deadlock.

But Yunlou Qingshu is not as inhuman as a natural disaster.

His expression is very wonderful.

He was shocked at first, then confused, and finally uncontrollably furious, his face was ashen, and he gnashed his teeth.

Since I was a child, I have been thinking about and wanting to control the orthodoxy of heaven and man, but it was actually held in the hands of such a thing!

"You... this..."

"Ah, I have kept this secret in my heart for many years."

Bai Heng showed an "embarrassed" and "shy" expression, "I am actually the child born from my mother's affair with the groom, and I was born with only half of the blood of heaven and man.

She tried her best to cover this up.

Although my father later found that he was wearing a particularly large green iron helmet, it was a family disgrace after all, and it could not be made public, and at least it could be recycled, A scapegoat thrown to the imperial capital to die.

After all, as long as you don't say it... who knows?

Back then, everyone knew that the young patriarch of the Bai family was the best at painting, but I just wanted to find some pigments to dye my hair in the palace... I'm sorry for disappointing everyone's expectations. "

"No!"

Yunlou Qingshu finally reacted and stared at him: "Dragon vein blessing! What's the matter with dragon vein blessing!"

"Because the marrow has been replaced."

Bai Heng answered as if it was a matter of course, and casually opened his collar to show his skinny body: "Not only that, Look, this heart belongs to my fourth brother, the liver belongs to my cousin, and later it was replaced by my third brother. And here, you see... you have to cut it open from here, insert a tube, and then cut the lungs open... Fortunately, there is a life support cabin at home to hold the body. It took a year and a half just to piece it together.

After taking too much painkillers, they are no longer effective. Later, I finally became a duke recognized by the dragon vein, but there was no foundation from the beginning.

At best, it can only be regarded as a "semi-finished product", right? "

No matter who sees Bai Heng's chest, they will gasp.

That is no longer a scar, but it has been cut and sutured countless times, and it has completely turned into fragments.

No one thought that Bai Heng, the regent, would be wrapped in such a tragic and hideous shriveled body under his solemn robe.

Showing his ugliest appearance, Bai Heng's eyes are so proud, grinning, smiling, revealing the grooves on his teeth.

The medicine in it had already penetrated into the stomach and intestines under the melting of saliva, and flowed through the limbs and bones along with the blood.

"Look, taking injections to resist rejection regularly, enduring the consequences including hematuria and periodic deterioration, all kinds of inconvenience and pain... all these can be completely destroyed by a piece of "bad blood medicine". Not even as good as a bumpkin next to him."

As a fake.

But so complacent.

This is Bai Heng's strongest weapon.

Thanks to this, he can win the trust of Yuan, Changsun and Liu... Only he, a fake, can destroy the dragon vein.

Now, after removing his immunity to radiation through a piece of bad blood medicine, in a blink of an eye, in such a high-intensity radiation, Bai Heng's body has been "full of holes".

The destruction at the cellular level has soaked him in it.

Now he looks so alive, but that is just an illusion made of sand and gravel. Festering and death have emerged from every cell, spreading, and there is no way to stop it.

In other words, he is dead.

But with his insignificant death, he overwhelmed the power of natural disasters on the scale.

"Congratulations, Dong Wanggong, your plan has failed."

He whispered: "I am a mortal who is not even a musician, and a semi-finished product who is not even a celestial being."

Before the voice fell, the roaring sound stopped abruptly.

In an instant, everyone had the illusion of falling into the abyss.

Because the world was collapsing.

Towards the center of the entire steel temple.

Gravity seemed to be distorted, and countless rainbow lights emerged from the ocean of ether, and then merged into a huge and blurred vortex in the thunder.

Vortex.

Unprecedented power gathered, and the world seemed to have a hole drilled under the crushing of this power.

But in the musician's perception, this world full of holes seemed to have endless brilliance.

Something has descended.

From a higher dimension, the power of all ether, the source of all miracles, the starting point of all power, the prototype of all things... emerged in this hall.

But it is so far away.

Even if it is close at hand, it is difficult to touch.

So huge that it turns the world into dust, and so beautiful that it makes everything pale in comparison - after penetrating time, space and other insignificant things, something called "Dayuan" emerged.

With the existence of Chaoyue and Baixi as a container, it descended here under the guidance of "Taiyi" and "Zhaodang".

But human eyes cannot observe its existence at all, and can only infer its arrival based on the traces left in the past.

——That is the projection of the sacred cauldron.

The artifact created by humans when they rewrote the Dayuan.

At this moment, its phantom emerged from the fierce light, covering the bodies of Chaoyue and Baixi, revealing traces of ancient vicissitudes.

So, everything is ready.

For hundreds of years, the opportunity that countless musicians have dreamed of has arrived.

But the central core remained silent.

Without the blood certification of the Bai family, all orders were rigidly rejected.

Everyone could only watch this good opportunity slip by, anxious and painful. Watching the short time pass by.

After this short manifestation, it will once again disappear into the deepest part of the etheric world, a dimension that is difficult for humans to reach...

"It's really sad, right?"

Bai Heng stared at the face of Dongwanggongdi, and smiled mockingly: "'Dayuan' has come, and it must not feel good to just watch it, right?

Why don't I tell you a joke..."

Before he finished speaking, a hoarse laugh sounded.

It was Yunlou Qingshu.

"Hahahahaha!!! ! ! "

After witnessing the end of this calculation and conspiracy, Yunlou Qingshu laughed uncontrollably: "It's really interesting, really funny, and really ironic!

The Regent is indeed a rare talent in the world. He can actually do this... It is beyond my expectation. I admire him, I admire him! "

"Okay, okay."

Bai Heng had one hand handcuffed on the chair, and could only reluctantly make a gesture of clasping his hands. His tone was cheerful: "Mr. Yunlou, this good bird, is not going to choose a tree to live in again, right?"

"Forget about choosing a tree to live in. As the saying goes, the heaven is vigorous, and the gentleman strives for self-improvement. At this point, I am tired of living in other people's trees. No matter how big the backer is, how can it compare to myself?"

Yunlou Qingshu smiled, and I don't know how he used it to pry open the shackles on his left hand, got up from the iron chair, looked around the hall, and finally stood with his hands behind his back:

"It's a pity that your majesty and the Regent are scheming, and the cranes and clams are fighting, but I have waited for the opportunity to benefit from it."

"Oh? "

Bai Heng seemed surprised, "Aren't you deeply in love with your wife and want to revive her?"

"Just talking, don't take it seriously."

Yun Lou Qingshu waved his hand lightly: "If Lord Heng likes beauties, I will burn a few for you after I ascend the throne."

"Are you planning to be the emperor now?"

Bai Heng burst into laughter: "It's a pity, a bumpkin is a bumpkin, he can't even call himself a lone wolf."

Even at this point, Bai Heng still kept the word bumpkin on his lips.

So, Yun Lou Qingshu's smile became gloomy.

Being called a bumpkin by a fake now is more than ten times more mocking than before.

He narrowed his eyes, took a last look at Bai Heng, and waved his hand:

"——Chao Yue, kill him. "

At that moment, in the center of the hall, the sleeping Yunlou Chaoyue suddenly trembled.

Under Yunlou Qingshu's order, Yunlou Chaoyue, who was originally in a trance, was forced to wake up from the deepest part of the Great Source, and his eyes slowly opened.

But those eyes were empty.

As if they were enough to encompass the entire magnificent world.

In the Great Source that emerged in the form of the Holy Cauldron, a vague figure slowly emerged, and a cold murderous intent emerged from it.

Deeply eerie.

But Bai Heng still smiled.

"Where was I just talking? Oh, right, a joke."

He patted his knees and said excitedly: "The joke is this, once upon a time, there was a bumpkin with wolfish ambitions, who thought he was born extraordinary, and coveted the throne of the emperor without knowing his own limitations, and then..."

Before he finished speaking, the sharp sound of steel friction burst out of thin air.

Blood gushed out.

Dyeing a sad red.

"--He's dead. "

Bai Heng said so.

Yunlou Qingshu's smile froze.

He lowered his head and saw the big hole in his chest. It was empty. A wisp of flame was burning on the wound, using blood as fuel, spreading to his internal organs, swallowing it up bit by bit.

He looked back in astonishment.

He saw the phantom emerging from the projection of Dayuan.

The huge power used Chaoyue and Baixi as containers and descended into the material world. It was endowed with the two talents of 'Taiyi' and 'Zhaodang' that were almost foul. In the end, it also appeared in the most perfect posture in their consciousness.

It was a distant and erratic figure.

Chaoyue and Baixi, who were divided into two before they were born, merged into one here, forming a face with a hint of strangeness, but it looked so familiar.

That was the face engraved in the deepest part of their consciousness since the moment they were born, the source of blood and inheritance.

It was also Yunlou Qingshu's sister and wife...

——Yunlou Qingxue!

In just a moment, the overwhelming force crushed Yunlou Qingshu's heart and lungs, set him on fire, and cruelly and deliberately gave him the cruelest death penalty.

In this flame, it was reduced to ashes bit by bit.

"How... could it be?"

Yunlou Qingshu looked at the pair of eyes blankly, and saw the deep hatred in them. He wailed in the flames, fell to the ground, twitched hard, and watched his limbs carbonized, broken, and turned into ashes in the burning of the fire.

This is a long death.

"This joke is over, is it funny?"

Bai Heng looked down at his miserable state with pity in his eyes: "You fool... never understood how precious your daughter is."

At this moment, Chaoyue and Baixi are both containers of Dayuan, almost overlapping in one place.

When Chaoyue wakes up, Baixi's will will naturally return.

The two are originally one.

What's more, at this moment, relying on the resonance of Dayuan and Longmai, it is unprecedentedly close.

Even if that consciousness could only last for a moment in that endless power.

Chao Yue, who was deliberately cultivated by Yun Lou Qingshu as a puppet, could not check the violent Bai Xi at all.

At that moment, after getting rid of the suppression of the dragon vein blood, Bai Xi finally got revenge on her biological father in the face and posture of her mother.

Unfortunately, no matter how tragic the death was, it could not vent the anger in her heart for so many years.

Bai Heng watched Yun Lou Qingshu's tragic end from beginning to end, without adding insult to injury, nor was he stupid enough to lend a helping hand.

He just gave the final evaluation indifferently.

"Stupid-fu."

Yun Lou Qingshu is a fool.

From the beginning.

Rebelling halfway, killing his father, and forcing his brother away, this is worthy of contempt, but this is not the reason why Bai Heng looks down on him.

Bai Heng did this himself.

The reason he looked down on Yun Lou Qingshu was that he had nothing except ambition.

He couldn't even rebel well.

But apart from a title, he did not obtain any inheritance, and he could not even keep a title.

If he had a little patience and a little chance to understand the inheritance of the celestial being, he would not have fallen to this point.

He simply did not understand how precious his daughter was!

No one knew how furious and regretful Bai Heng was when he learned about Bai Xi's existence from Hermes, and how he wished to tear Yun Lou Qingshu, the bastard, into pieces!

It was simply, simply... a waste of heaven's gifts!

Such a talented and beautiful girl was strangled and destroyed by him in the womb, just because he was afraid of the risk of premature death, in order to use a living orthodox heir to exchange for a useless title!

He was actually complacent about this?

Go to hell, idiot, you don't know what you did!

It was a blessing from heaven that one of the once-in-a-millennium and unprecedented talents like 'Taiyi' and 'Zhaodang' could appear, not to mention that they appeared in the same child at the same time.

The dual talents that are positive and negative and actually one are not only unprecedented, but Bai Heng can even conclude that there will be no more to come!

Even after they were split apart, their qualifications are still terrifying enough to become the container of the Great Source.

If they were complete, they would definitely be the closest to perfect individuals since the birth of the Nine Dragon Veins!

In other words, the inheritance of the Nine Dragon Veins exists to create existences like Chaoyue and Baixi!

For hundreds of years, in order to completely control the ether and avoid interruption of continuation due to personal death, humans have implanted music theory into their blood, passed down, maintained and continued from generation to generation.

In the end, through internal hybridization, a true 'Son of the Dragon Vein' was created!

Compared with the Son of the Dragon Vein, all musicians are just inferior mass-produced goods.

Not a musician who uses and communicates with the ether, nor a hub and bridge between humans and the ether - but a person who has the dual characteristics of humans and ether, possesses ether, and can truly integrate into the ether!

This is the method created by the first generation of the Dragon Vein Nine Surnames to avoid the lesson of being betrayed by tools.

——If tools can betray themselves, then let the tools become themselves and merge into one!

And all this was dismantled into a semi-finished product by a self-righteous fool when it was closest to success... It's a huge irony!

Bai Heng could almost imagine how heartbroken those ghosts who had long died would be if there really was a so-called "spirit in heaven"!

"But although Yunlou Qingshu is stupid, at least he helped me."

Bai Heng said, pulling out a wire from the root of his hair, prying open the lock nimbly, and moving his body. As the burning phantom pain dissipated, the body seemed to return to its original state.

However, this was just a last gasp.

As a human being, the vitality has been cut off from the bottom.

It is not like felling a tree, but every branch, every leaf, and every inch of the trunk has lost its vitality. Even if he could still maintain his body integrity by inertia, it was foreseeable that he would turn into a pile of rotten meat in a few days.

But now, he looked radiant.

He was in great shape.

With a casual kick, Bai Heng kicked Yun Lou Qing Shu, who was about to burn out, to the side, and walked towards the emperor: "If he hadn't jumped out first, I'm afraid I wouldn't be sure whether Dong Wang Gong is here... I guess He is now incapable of invading the central core and forcibly seizing control, right?"

In silence, the person on the throne opened his eyes, no longer indifferent and cold, but full of human colors again.

It was like waking up from a dream.

"Is it Bai Heng?"

She asked.

"Yes, it's me." Bai Heng nodded, walked in front of her, bent down, and looked at her face: "The guilty minister greets His Majesty."

The emperor laughed tiredly: "Where is Yun Lou Qing Shu?"

Bai Heng pointed casually, "There, it's still hot. Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"It seems that you won? Anyway."

The emperor looked at Bai Heng and chuckled tiredly: "You have spent so much effort just to become the emperor?"

Bai Heng shook his head and smiled.

"I don't want the throne, Your Majesty, why don't you understand it yet?" His eyes were full of regret, "If I wanted that chair, you wouldn't have any chance at all.

I just want you to get out of this cage."

"Don't you understand yet? For so many years, you have been driven by natural disasters and think that I am your biggest enemy. But it's not me who imprisoned you, but everything you have..."

Bai Heng reached out and stroked her white hair, and finally, looked into her blank eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die."

He said:

"-I want you to live."

Really, live like a human!

Accompanying his words, after the fierce light, a faint alchemical matrix lit up on Bai Xi's body-it was the lock forged by Hermes.

At this moment, under Bai Heng's call, the matrix wrapped around Bai Xi started-the matrix that had grown together with muscles, bones, internal organs and flesh and blood actually fell off by itself at this moment.

Like fallen leaves falling from branches.

The huge and complex matrix, which was like a nervous system, was now cleverly and delicately extracted from Bai Xi's body without any pain.

She no longer needed anything to seal her talent.

At this moment, the matrix was flying in the air, absorbing ether and began to proliferate on its own.

If the original matrix was like a complete nervous system, then at this moment, at the end of the nervous system, there were countless music theories and matrices flowing.

It was unfolding.

Recovering its original appearance.

It was like a miracle that swallowed the universe from the dust.

The peerless alchemy was repeated here.

In the end, the end of the huge matrix extended thousands of threads of thought, connected to every ganglion of the empress, and made her fall into a trance in an instant.

"What is this?"

In front of her, Bai Heng smiled and guided the matrix to increase in value, as if he had practiced it thousands of times, skillfully and carefully:

"Fifteen years ago, the emperor turned you into a machine for Zhendan, a puppet that lived only for the mission. For so many years, I have been trying to find a way to turn you back to your original appearance. Unfortunately, with my meager talents, it is ultimately difficult to compete with natural disasters... Fortunately, as long as there is a will, there is always a way."

At that moment, countless matrices gathered in his hands, turned into a line, and aimed at the heart of the empress from a distance.

"Don't be afraid."

He whispered:

"--Hermes's human transformation technique is hidden here."

At that moment, the endless alchemical matrix accompanied Bai Heng's movements and penetrated the empress from the throne.

A wailing sound burst out.

It seemed to be a sad cry that was fifteen years late.

A wailing sound burst out in severe pain.

Countless forgotten memories surged out from the darkness, and in the end, they were frozen in the last moment when there was still temperature.

The old emperor cut open her chest and implanted his lingering soul into her body.

"From now on--"

The dying old man's eyes flashed with fanaticism: "You are the new emperor."

The memory stopped abruptly, and then shattered in a roar.

It was Dong Wanggong.

After penetrating through layers of firewalls, Dong Wanggong, who was only one step away from the finish line, roared.

He was truly like a sage, with the anger and unwillingness of a human being, screaming:

"Bai Heng!!!"

"Yes, it's me."

Bai Heng smiled and penetrated the alchemical matrix into the emperor's body inch by inch: "Taste the pain, this is a precious experience that only humans can have.

Wail and roar like a human being."

He said goodbye coldly:

"This is the gift that Hermes gave you before he died!"

At that moment, a fierce light shot up into the sky.

In a long dream, Ye Qingxuan opened his eyes.
