Chapter 248: Hall of Longevity

Tian Che took the initiative to come over, sat down next to him, and asked, "Why don't you go in?"

Xiao Yibai was surprised by his actions. When he remembered the things that happened in North Bank City, he still smiled apologetically, coughed awkwardly, and continued: "Didn't you go in?"

Tian Che looked at him strangely and found that the man's face was a very haggard and pale. He should be enduring some profound pain. He did not expose it directly, but pointed to the closed door of Fengxintai and said carelessly: "After all, I am just his senior brother, you are his real brother. I only started earlier than him, otherwise he would not be happy to call me senior brother."

"Ha... I have such a bad temper." Xiao Yibai smiled evilly, looked at Tian Che up and down, and said, "Young Master came back for the poison on my brother's body, it's a pity..."

While speaking, he pointed to Xingluohu helplessly in front of him: "I have asked Mingxi for you before. He said that the Binding King Water Jail has been destroyed, and the things in the information room have been flooded and cannot be found. The poison you used on your brother can only find out if there is a similar situation in the prisons of the other four realms. He has secretly sent someone to investigate. If there is any result, I will tell you."

"Oh..." Tian Che blurted out blankly, but he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to help him, but instead he was a little uncomfortable.

"Will the relationship between blood relatives... be different?" Xiao Yibai asked him lightly. Tian Che knew it had a different meaning when he heard the meaning of his words, and said seriously, "Whether it is blood relatives or brothers who grew up with him since childhood, you treat each other sincerely, so Qian Ye is not indifferent, so he was suddenly pursued by you as a traitor, and I still don't believe it."

Xiao Yibai wanted to speak but stopped. Ming Ximing did not intend to tell Yun Qiushui and Tianche that the reason why these two people still regard their younger brother as their disciples is entirely out of trust in him, that's all.

Tian Che looked at him and always felt that this person was hiding something else, but he didn't take the initiative to speak, and he didn't force him to ask more questions, so he said, "Actually, he took the risk to return to the imperial capital this time, probably to come to find you, right? But I see that Xingluo Lake is surrounded by heavy forces, and it is really difficult to escape with you, let alone..."

Tian Che shook his head helplessly and pointed to Fengxintai: "What's more, Emperor Tianzun also captured my junior sister. Maybe even Uncle Qiushui and I will become hostages together in a while, right?"

"No." Xiao Yibai waved his hand, although he had concern in his eyes, his tone was as calm as water. "Mingxi will not make things difficult for you anymore. This matter was his own decision. If he had discussed it with me early in the morning, I would not agree."

Tian Che thought carefully about the true meaning of his words. Although Xiao Yibai smiled three times, he still sighed silently in his heart, and simply told him the whole story of the matter. The more he spoke, Xiao Yibai's tone became lower and lower. He knew that Zhu Yan, not far behind him, was very familiar with the secret techniques of the White Sect, and had been deliberately paying attention to the person's every move. However, after all, it was by Tian Che's side, and the sword spirit silently formed an invisible barrier to prevent his voice from passing through.

Tian Che looked at him silently, never expecting that the Central Plains Miaojiang could be involved behind this incident. He looked a little surprised, and finally gritted his teeth and said worriedly: "To be honest, the Miaojiang area is located in the southern part of the Central Plains. It has a complex terrain and many ethnic groups. It is known as the seventy-two factions of Miaojiang. It is said that they have been fighting each other for a long time, and a new ruler will appear after decades. The Miao man you mentioned can live for 300 years, and it should be the one from the Palace of Eternal Life."

"Eternal Life Palace?" This was the first time Xiao Yibai heard of this name. If he looked at it literally, it really aroused his interest. Tianche was completely opposite to him and couldn't help but hold the sword spirit tightly and continued, "After the Kunlun School is over 18 years old, if you get permission from your mentor, you can go down the mountain to travel by yourself. I have been to the southern border of the Central Plains once. The climate is humid and poisonous insects are everywhere. The local residents are also very repulsive to outsiders. In some hidden small villages, from young children to old women, they are raising insects."

"Is it that kind of Gu King?" Xiao Yibai asked according to his words. After all, he was once a general of the White Tiger Legion. He also took the opportunity to peek at many strange secret techniques from the White Sect and said, "The White Sect has a ban on the White Sect that is named "controlling insects". However, they do not raise those insects themselves, but use the sound of music to control nearby poisonous insects, snakes and ants, so there is no so-called "Gu King".

Tian Che raised his eyelids and glanced at Xiao Yibai slightly. He felt that this guy was really not nervous, but was curious inappropriately. He quickly emphasized his tone again and explained seriously: "I have only heard of some people who have not really seen them. It is said that the Gu King is the final winner after the fight of various poisons. They will first separate the various poisons to determine the winner, and then let all the winners continue to fight. During this period, they will continue to use witchcraft to catalyze them, and even feed living people as sacrifices to accelerate the progress. The "Snow Girl" you mentioned just now is the rarest one among the offerings. If it were really obtained by that Miao man back then, perhaps the southern Xinjiang has long become his world."

Xiao Yibai nodded thoughtfully and murmured to himself: "It's no wonder he has been chasing such an important thing for three hundred years but still refuses to give up."

Tian Che's face was full of anxiety and said, "'Snow Girl' is so rare. Even in Kunlun's Secret Record, I only know one, and the time shows that it should be more than 1,500 years ago, which is longer than Feiyuan and Falling Sky."

Xiao Yibai heard this and looked up at the sky blankly. He seemed to be inexplicably trance at such a long time. Tian Che sighed again and continued: "Although Miaojiang claims to be the seventy-two sects, in fact, it is far more than that. There are only 72 families who have caused trouble in the Central Plains. Among them, the Hall of Changsheng, Thousand Poison Cave and Hundred Sacrifice Valley are the most dangerous, especially the Hall of Changsheng. They don't know what method they used. Most of the disciples can live to be two hundred years old, but it is the first time I have heard of it if they are over three hundred years old."

"As long as people who like to cause trouble like to gather together." Xiao Yibai shook his head and sighed. Tian Che said a moment, and stood there in a daze, and was extremely embarrassed on the spot. He coughed lightly, "They rarely interact with the Central Plains martial arts world. They would proactively cause trouble mostly to grab some treasures used for practicing Gu. The eldest princess crossed the sea from Feiyuan on a merchant ship. Then the pier she arrived at should be near the South China Sea, where foreign travelers often stayed there, and most of them carried rare things from overseas, so that area has always been an excellent occasion for them to take action."

Tian Che's eyes flashed with a cold light and said seriously: "It's just that there is such a profound and obscure conspiracy behind it, which is really creepy. This person has been observing in secret for many years, and probably has been using the eldest princess to find traces of heaven. No wonder the eldest princess can use the Miaojiang insect control technique so skillfully. If there is another expert behind the scenes, all this will become reasonable. I just don't know if he asked you to take Princess Mingshu to see King Chi, if there is another conspiracy."

Xiao Yibai was also a little confused and muttered to himself: "King Chi in the heaven world... shouldn't be afraid of a mere Miao person, right?"

Tianche's eyes flashed slightly with cold light: "With that being said... I'm always a little uneasy."

The two of them exchanged their expressions tacitly, always feeling that this matter was a bit strange, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

In the side hall of Fengxintai, Yun Qiushui found a clean dress. She shook her eyes and found that it was just a very simple maid's suit. But at this time, the fifth princess was soaked and cold, and she hurried over without caring about the clothes of the servants. The fifth princess shivered for a moment and then realized that she had left the pleasure boat. She looked at the surrounding environment nervously and squatted towards the corner of the wall desperately.

"Princess, please change the wet clothes first." Yun Qiushui patiently soothed and walked to Mingshu's side with his hands and feet. The fifth princess' breathing was short and fast, and there was still a strange gurgling sound in her chest and lungs. She stared at Yun Qiushui for a long time and felt that the strange woman in front of her had some subtle familiarity, as if she had seen it somewhere.

"Come on, change your clothes first, it's time to catch a cold." Yun Qiushui looked at her with distress. The royal princess who was high above and should be envied by everyone was huddled in the corner, biting her blue and black lips. She didn't know whether it was because of the cold or fear. Her whole body twitched violently. Yun Qiushui leaned over quietly, gently embraced her in her arms, and used her body temperature to warm the other person's body little by little. The fifth princess felt in her heart, and was as if she was a dream.

This tenderness was very similar to that of her childhood. Her mother held her in her arms and hummed a whispering song in her mouth.

The fifth princess reached out and hugged Yun Qiushui. Her mother was the current Concubine Jing. She was the daughter of the Grand Secretary of Moge. She was born in a scholarly family and was also a talented woman with both talent and knowledge. The title of "Jing" was the title of "Jing" which was praised by the late emperor for his mother's behavior and calmness. She was a woman who judged the situation, knew how to behave and knew how to advance and retreat.

However, the word "quiet" also enveloped the mother's life like a nightmare. The innocent and kind lady was sent to the late emperor by her father with a different purpose. She thought she could get some favor and help the political group of her father to consolidate her position. However, the life in the harem was extremely boring. The late emperor favored Empress Wen Yi alone, and she rarely stayed in their bedrooms except for symbolic mobility. Finally, everyone understood that everything the late emperor did was just to block the mouths of everyone. The woman they sent in had no effect at all. After all, the mother became a victim of politics and would never be mentioned by anyone again.

"Mom..." The fifth princess hugged Yun Qiushui in a daze, buried her face in the other party's chest, as if the grievances that had been endured for many years suddenly erupted, and the crying sounds slowly and rapidly from the low sobs to the end of her tight force, making Yun Qiushui feel breathless.

Yun Qiushui gently patted Mingshu's back, and felt mixed feelings. Although his daughter Yun Xiao had never received any care from her father since she was a child, the master was very doting on her. Not only did the head hold her under her sect to teach sword skills themselves, Qingqiu was also very caring about her physical condition and deliberately developed a variety of pills according to her condition. Even when her daughter was playing and naughty and smashed Zi Chen's astrological chart, the other party, who was always strict, just nagged a few words without too much criticism.

She watched her daughter grow up little by little, becoming bright and charming, and often felt sad that her mixed-race body was destined to die early. She always wondered whether her daughter was happy or unfortunate?
