A carriage wrapped in a black curtain left the capital without stopping in the night.

Three days later, a courtyard in a mountain forest a hundred miles away.

The young man was sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground with a broom, the wind was clear and the sun was bright, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, the young man swept the fallen leaves into a pile, and when he turned around, he saw a door in the middle was pushed open from the inside.

A slender man with a gentle appearance stood there, with deep eyes and pale complexion.

"Are you awake?" The servant looked at the man in surprise, then threw away the broom, turned around and ran out.

After a while, a man came in from the outside, his appearance almost made the world eclipsed.

He was wearing a dark blue robe with a belt tied casually. His long black hair hung directly behind him. His eyes were like stars, his nose was straight, and his lips were like Danko.The wide sleeves fluttered with the rhythm of his steps, his handsomeness was as sharp as a knife out of its sheath, and his demeanor was indescribably lazy and unruly.

Bai Ze has seen many beauties, both male and female, but he has to admit that this is the most beautiful person he has ever seen - a man.

When he came back to his senses, the man had already walked up to him, stretched out his hand to lift his chin, looked at Bai Ze presumptuously for a while, and smiled: "You slept for three days this time before you woke up."

Bai Ze's eyes narrowed, "Who are you?"

"Do you care more about who I am than your life-threatening matter?" The man smiled slightly. "I'm so relieved that you're still as lovely as ever."

This strange sense of familiarity... familiar teasing tone, familiar frivolous movements.

Bai Ze frowned. He was quite sure that he did not know this man. In fact, if anyone had seen him, he would never forget it.

"Do you know me?" Bai Ze asked casually, but it was actually a test.

"Although you don't know me anymore, I definitely know you. Because I'm not such a heartless person... Bai Ze."

Sure enough, he knew himself.

Bai Ze thought a lot in a flash, and this sense of familiarity became stronger and stronger, and a name was almost blurted out.However, his death was witnessed by himself.But... what if he didn't die?Just like yourself.And if it was him, changing his appearance would be a breeze.

"Cui Qian." Bai Ze said with emotion, "I never thought we would see each other again."

"It's a surprise that you've finally become smarter." 'Cui Qian' raised his eyebrows and smiled.

After getting an affirmative answer from the other party, Bai Ze looked at him in surprise, "Are you really not dead?!"

"Are you surprised?" 'Cui Qian' smiled, "For a person who has died six times, shouldn't it be strange?"

Bai Ze choked, speechless.

"It's just a puppet controlled by my wisp of spiritual consciousness." He looked proud, "It's too simple to think about killing me like this."

It was just his puppet, Bai Ze looked at Cui Qian in surprise.But the unrepentant eyes that day... Bai Ze has to say, he acted very realistically.Cui Qian saw what he meant and shook his head.

"Ji Xuan will be so ruthless, it's really beyond my expectation, I thought he would be reluctant." 'Cui Qian' showed a painful expression, "I have spent a lot of thought on that puppet clone It's a pity that I just practiced it. If I knew he would be like this, I wouldn't take the risk of using you as a hostage!"

Bai Ze laughed at himself, noncommittal.He cared more about the other content in Cui Qian's words.

Cui Qian was actually able to manipulate a person as a puppet with a ray of divine sense, which really surprised him.Then what happened to me?Maybe Cui Qian really knows...

Bai Ze suddenly felt dizzy, and after shaking for a while, 'Cui Qian' reached out his hand to support him in time, and said with a smile, "Why don't you go in and talk?"

Bai Ze nodded, his face seemed paler than before.

He sat on the chair, and after a while the dizziness gradually disappeared, and when he looked up, he saw 'Cui Qian' sitting across from him with a smile and looking at him.

"It's okay, it won't happen in a few days," he said.

Bai Ze was silent for a moment, and finally said, "You seem to know about me very well."

"Yes and no." 'Cui Qian' said.

"How should I say it?" Bai Ze looked at the man in front of him expectantly and hesitantly. He had already seen how difficult Cui Qian was. It was not easy to get information from him. He never traded at a loss.

But 'Cui Qian' didn't ask immediately this time. He said frankly: "I do understand your situation and the reason. But just because I know the reason why you will die and come back to life, I don't understand it."

Bai Ze looked at him seriously and listened attentively.

'Cui Qian' pointed to a row of empty teacups on the table, "A human being is composed of body and soul. People are like these teacups. The teacup is the body, and the cup contains the soul. The soul of a mortal is like air. , with a light touch, the teacup is broken and the soul is scattered."

He raised his hand and filled the first teacup with water. "Through practice, a monk's soul evolves into a primordial spirit, just like this tea, which is countless times more solid than air, and already has an entity. If this teacup is broken...the primordial spirit can enter another teacup. But this process has losses Yes." He poured most of the tea into the second cup.

"How many times the house can be held is determined by various factors such as the strength of the soul, the difficulty of taking the house, and even the external environment." He poured it several times, and by the time of the sixth teacup, the tea had already Only a small half is left.

"You have never practiced, so you don't know your own soul, let alone this process. All this happens when you are unconscious... But you don't know that every time you die and come back to life, it's an attack on yourself. A huge loss of primordial spirit is like this tea, if it continues, it will be used up one day. At that time, it will be the soul flying away."

"Your drowsiness and dizziness are caused by this kind of wear and tear. Every time you die, every time you change your body, your primordial spirit will adapt to the body worse and worse."

"Until one time, you die and never wake up again."

Bai Ze already understood somewhat that he is not immortal, it's just because his primordial spirit is special enough.But that's exactly the problem... He looked at Cui Qian.

'Cui Qian' noticed his expression and smiled, "It's the same as you thought, this is exactly my problem, why is your soul so powerful? You know, even if an ordinary monk has practiced for a lifetime, he can only It’s only a matter of being able to seize a house once, and there must be someone who happens to meet the conditions. Without the right time, place and people, it’s just a dead end. Seizing a house is against the sky. If you can do it casually, wouldn’t death be a joke? "

"You have never practiced, but you can seize the house six times without dying. It is unheard of! You are like a mortal with a huge treasure, but you don't know how to use it in the treasure cave. Why are you like this... I am very interested!"

"In that case, what do you want?" Bai Ze looked directly at 'Cui Qian'.

'Cui Qian' poured out the cold tea, refilled two cups, and pushed one of them in front of Bai Ze, "I have a suggestion that is good for you and me. I don't know if you are interested."

"Please tell me." Bai Ze said.

"I have a method for cultivating the soul. I hope you will practice with me. Maybe after practicing, you will gradually understand the reason. And your answer is very important to my cultivation." 'Cui Qian' said slowly.

"Sounds pretty good." Bai Ze smiled.

"I'm very sincere, you might as well think about it. You know, if you don't agree to my conditions, you're just going to die. If you agree, maybe there is a chance, why don't you fight? This is also your mother's wish, Isn't it?" 'Cui Qian' said with a smile. "It seems unfilial to give up the chance of survival that she desperately bought for you."

"A dead end?" Bai Ze looked cold.

'Cui Qian' quickly waved his hand, "Don't get me wrong, what good will it do me to kill you? I have great expectations for you! But... Even if I let you go, will Ji Xuan let you go? "

"He won't kill me." Bai Ze understood what Cui Qian meant, his eyes darkened.

"I don't agree with that." 'Cui Qian' shook his head, "You and Ji Xuan can only live as one."

"What do you know? Why are you so sure." Bai Ze felt a pain in his heart when he thought of Ye's words before his death.

"Have you read the history books? Ji's royal family has been passed down for 980 years, and every battle for the throne is a bloodbath. Except for the last one who ascended to the throne, all other princes who failed will undoubtedly die. Some were killed during the seizure of the throne, some died in vain, and some were executed... You can understand that this is the cruelty of the royal family's seizure of power. This is also explained in history books and unofficial history. But in my eyes, it is not only That's it."'Cui Qian' paused, and then said, "Thousands of years of inheritance, no matter how many natural and man-made disasters, how many winds and rains in the middle, but no one can shake the foundation of the Ji family, and no one can replace it. No matter the emperor Whether it is a generation of enlightened rulers or absurd and foolish rulers, you cannot deny that this is the world of the Ji family."

"The fate of this world has been firmly in the hands of the Ji family for thousands of years, and the Ji family's emperor is well-deserved to come into being."

"Now the No.90 IX Lord of the Ji Clan is Ji Xuan. And you, you should have died on the day of his conferment ceremony. Bao Ji's luck will not dissipate. This is the direction that history should go. .”

"But you didn't die. Didn't you think about the possible consequences of this?"

"You are the only variable for thousands of years."

Bai Ze slowly clenched his hand under the table.He has read history books and heard unofficial history, but this is the first time he has heard of today's theory.He had never thought of it this way before...

"That time, it was an accident." Bai Ze said with difficulty, "He didn't intend to kill me."

"Are you sure?" 'Cui Qian' looked directly into Bai Ze's eyes, as if he wanted to see the depths of his heart and see through his thoughts.

Bai Ze trembled slightly, he thought of Ji Xuan's strangeness to him, and his words: I feel at ease when he is dead.These memories that he didn't want to think of hadn't faded at all, and if there was an opportunity, they would jump out without warning and disturb him.

"Actually, how you die is not important, what matters is the result, isn't it? Or maybe... your life is just an accident to him." 'Cui Qian' had a faint smile on his lips, "If you exist, After shaking his Ji family's world and the foundation of the Ji family, do you still think that he doesn't want your life? Are you more important to him than all of this?"

There is no comparison at all...

Bai Ze forced a smile, "What you said is just your guess."

'Cui Qian' laughed, "If these are just my guesses, if Ji Xuan's actions before were not his intention, if he didn't want to kill you! But...do you dare to survive? Do you dare to live to see , what is the result?"

"Do you dare to join me and control your own destiny?"

"In this world, only I can help you."

"And I help you, not for you, but for myself. Do you dare to do this?"

Bai Ze looked at 'Cui Qian', he made no secret of his purpose, his desire was so persistent and pure.

But he looked forward and backward, worried and frightened.Obviously unable to escape from this vortex, but still trying to deceive himself and others, trying to avoid it.His mother would rather trade death for his freedom, and his sobriety knew...he should no longer run away.

If you have to be so weak and weak all your life, unable to control your own destiny, and be in a daze, you might as well die completely now.

Back then, he went from an orphan who was bullied to a powerful minister who held great power and controlled life and death.Now he is starting from scratch, no longer following the trend, and is not afraid of any difficulties.He also needs to take the initiative in this cooperation.

Bai Ze picked up the teacup in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and smiled, "We are happy to cooperate."

The man in front of him raised his lips and slowly revealed a smile that was as bright as stars in the night sky.He drank the tea in his cup, "Let's get to know each other again, my name is Huo Si."
