Zong Luo stumbled out of the Star Gazing Tower.
Perhaps because he had cried too hard just now, his eyes were red. The cold night wind blew, and for a moment, he seemed lost, not knowing where to go.
Since he sneaked out and didn’t go through the main entrance, he couldn’t see Yuan Jia, the gatekeeper.
The place he came out, seemed to be behind the Great Witch Temple. In the night, there were only the silent vast green mountains. Standing here, he could easily overlook the entire Imperial City. He saw the lanterns lit in the Quartet Witch Temple, the torches swaying in the palace, or the fireflies flashing at the foot of the mountain.
Suddenly, a sense of loneliness emerged between heaven and earth. Looking around, there was no place he could call home. Where is home?
Even if he was not sentenced to death, after the Witch Sacrificial Ceremony tomorrow, he should follow the path of his previous life and set off to guard the frontier.
Just like a trial.
Zong Luo had no guilt in his heart, he had said all he could say. Regarding the matter of the true and false prince, he had no guilt in his heart, he had presented all the truth to Emperor Yuan.
As for what will happen tomorrow, how Emperor Yuan will handle it–
Zong Luo thought of this, his fingers involuntarily curled up, but he forcefully told himself –he will comply with the will, no matter what the outcome, he will face it calmly.
Thinking of the Witch Sacrificial Ceremony that would be held tomorrow, Zong Luo was still a bit sad.
Fortunately, the depression and anxiety pressing on his heart have eased because of his initiative to tell the truth. At least the previous guilt had been swept away. After experiencing the pain and struggle of these days, his mood had finally reached a relatively peaceful state.
Facing the cold wind, Zong Luo took a deep breath and told himself forcefully.
“What should I do.”
The prince in white forced himself to calm down and started to go over things in his mind again and again.
Ye Linghan has been arranged, Pei Qianxue knows, Gongsun You has not revealed his identity anyway, without him, he can find a good place to go with the Old Fourth or Old Sixth. Gu Ziyuan, all the ancient books of the Third Prince’s Mansion has already been sent to him, Mu Yuanlong and the Xuan Cavalry have all been arranged, and the things that should be left to Zong Ruichen and Zong Yuanwu have been entrusted to Steward Liao.
Everything that could be arranged, Zong Luo had done his best, even Zhanlu and the immortal pill had been put back. If he was going to the border, he did not plan to bring the Xuan Cavalry in this life.
Of course, if the next was a death decree, then there was no need to worry about it.
Zong Luo thought somewhat amusingly, trying to relax himself.
Since it’s all over, he should go back to Yuchun Palace as soon as possible and wait for the final result tomorrow.
He was thinking about this in his heart, but his eyes were unconsciously wandering around the Imperial City.
When his gaze lingered in one place for a long time, Zong Luo woke up like a dream, quickly moved away.
That was the King of Beining Mansion, which he should not, and did not want to pay attention to again.
Zong Luo silently shifted his gaze, not wanting to look back at whether there was a moment when he wanted to see a red figure and say goodbye to him for the last time.
Just as Zong Luo was silently and shockingly digesting his complex and tumbling mood just now, a hoarse and unpleasant voice suddenly came from behind. “Third Highness.”
Zong Luo was startled and turned around directly.
Very few people could silently approach him, and only react when they speak.
He saw a face wearing a ferocious ghost face, the Great Witch, wearing a hood standing not far from him, holding a bone staff in his hand, and after seeing him turn around, he threw something.
Zong Luo reached out to catch it, and after holding it steady, he took a closer look, only to find that what he was holding was a small witch medicine bottle made of white jade. This kind of witch medicine bottle usually contained liquid, not compressed pills. It was much simpler to make than pills, and it was generally not used for non-emergency diseases.
The hoarse and mysterious voice of the Great Witch was low. “This minister has been waiting here for a long time, but the King of Beining has never come back. Troubling Your Highness to give this to the king, make sure he must take it tonight.”
What?
Zong Luo looked at the Great Witch in confusion.
The voice of the Great Witch seemed very tired. “The side effects of repairing the formation are greater than this minister imagined. Because the delay time is too long, and the preparation before the immortal method is not sufficient, there should be two omissions now, but it should be what the king asked for. This person will not be the emperor, the emperor will not dream again. Please also remember to tell the King of Beining.”
Zong Luo was stunned. “What is the backlash of repairing the formation?”
The ferocious ghost face looked at Zong Luo, looking a bit dark. Under the gaze of the prince in white, the hoarse and unpleasant voice of the Great Witch replied. “Returning to Your Highness. Naturally, it is the time reversal array.”
The eyes under the ghost face were deep and bottomless. “Didn’t you go back in time with the King of Beining?”
Since the night of the nine stars linked like chains of beads in the previous year, the Great Witch had noticed that the number of this world’s fate had deviated to a certain extent.
First of all, all the star plates were disrupted, and almost all the numbers in the world’s fate were affected.
In this, the brightest star in the night sky, located in the center of the sky, gradually dimmed and fell into the mist. At the same time, another star that was originally slightly insufficient, and even stood on the opposite side of the king star, suddenly shone brightly, and its momentum directly pressured the previous king star.
The situation where all the numbers in the world’s fate were disrupted was not common, and it could even be said that it had never happened in history. The Great Witch searched through ancient books but found nothing.
In the end, he took the risk of lighting the soul lamp, put his soul into the witch soil to explore, and learned from the ancestral witch who had already left this world that someone had gone back in time.
The time reversal array was a taboo in the immortal methods. Even the ancestral witch couldn’t arbitrarily reverse time. Because the price was too great, even a person who gathered thousands of luck may pay everything including life.
There was only one possibility.
For millions of years, the only son of fate in the Great Wilderness, the owner of the king star.
Not only did he reverse the formation, but he also gave his luck to another star.
Sure enough, not long after the Great Witch guessed it, the King of Beining took the initiative to find him.
The first time was to warn the Great Witch not to talk about this matter, listing a lot of threats.
These contents, unless it’s the emperor of the Great Yuan. No, even if it is the emperor, I’m afraid he knows less than the King of Beining.
The Great Witch couldn’t help but be curious.
If it was before the time was reversed, the King of Beining had already got all this. Then why does he want to go back in time?
The King of Beining came to the door for the second time, for the purpose of repairing the formation.
It’s all said to be an immortal method, and it must be an immortal method. With a human body, it could succeed. In the eyes of the Great Witch, it was already a miracle in a miracle. As a result, this son of fate actually wanted to repair it again, it really didn’t want to live.
What’s more, the King of Beining was no longer the son of fate. If one forced the method, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, the other party’s attitude was too strong, and still had too much leverage in his hand of the Great Witch. After persuasion, it could only be done.
“Earlier, this minister observed the celestial phenomena at night and noticed that something was wrong. According to what the King of Beining said when he found this minister last time, more and more people dream of things before the time is reversed. It should still be that the formation is not perfect and the preparation is not sufficient. To make up for this time reversal array, so that no one dreams of what has happened, it also requires the blood of the caster.”
The Great Witch calmly said, “This minister was just concentrating on the method, and did not notice how much blood the King of Beining shed when repairing the formation, and also forgot to tell the King of Beining that he would be backlashed by the formation. When the formation was repaired, this minister looked back and saw no one.”
Speaking of this, the Great Witch was also a bit helpless.
He thought that after the formation was repaired, the King of Beining would faint directly, so that he could throw the person into the medicinal bath, but he didn’t expect that as soon as he turned around after the method was completed, the person was gone.
Having experienced backlash, he could still jump around, which was really amazing.
In desperation, the Great Witch could only take the medicine and hurriedly turned around nearby.
Counting the time, the backlash must have started. If you can’t find someone anymore, you can only entrust the Third Prince to deliver it, after all, this is the new star who got the luck of the king star.
Yu Beizhou…really went to perfect the formation?
Zong Luo’s pupils shrank suddenly.
Thinking of the nonsense that Yu Beizhou said when he stopped him in the Great Witch Temple not long ago.
The one who told the truth of the two lifetimes was him, and the one who didn’t want him to speak out was him. He did all the good things, bad things, and rotten things for him. Now he was doing some inexplicable things behind his back.
It was unknown why, Zong Luo felt a surge of nameless fire in his heart, and he couldn’t wait to rush to find Yu Beizhou now, and have a good talk with him.
Seeing the Third Prince about to run away with his lightness skill, the Great Witch hurriedly said, “This minister only suffered a slight backlash, and it should be more serious on the side of the King of Beining. Your Highness must let the king take it. But even if he takes the medicine, he may have to suffer some flesh and blood. How specific the backlash is, you have to see how the detoxification is after taking the medicine. After drinking, you must see how much he vomits.”
“And those two omissions—”
However, before the Great Witch had finished speaking, the prince in white had already pointed his toes and shot out from the top of the mountain behind the Great Witch Temple like an arrow off the string, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The cool autumn wind lifted his robe, making a sound in the air.
From a distance, it looked like a pure and snowy immortal, whose body from hair to clothes was all white, was falling urgently from the sky. When he fell on the eaves or tiles, he lightly touched it, took off with the help of it, and shuttled through the Imperial City like a ghost.
Zong Luo’s temples were brushed by the cold wind, and thousands of strands were raised, just like his complicated heart.
But this time, no matter how calm, he couldn’t calm down anymore.
At this full-speed speed, in almost a moment, Zong Luo lightly landed on the top of the King of Beining Mansion and jumped down familiarly.
The King of Beining Mansion was silent, dim, and there was no one.
The corridors extended in all directions, and not like the last time, welcomingly lighting up the whole house with lanterns.
Zong Luo first went to the master bedroom and turned around. After kicking open and finding that there was no one inside, he turned his foot and went to the study.
It’s strange to say that although the King of Beining Mansion was built in a magnificent style, it lacked popularity and did not look like a place where people live. Even Yu Beizhou often appeared and disappeared, often not knowing where he came out. Except for the fifteenth of every month, he could accurately block him in the king’s mansion, he couldn’t see this person’s figure anywhere else.
This time in the study, even the door of the dark room was not closed in time, and it was directly opened there. There was a white fur cloak at the door, which was the one that Yu Beizhou usually wore.
Fortunately, this guy, unknown what he had done, drove all the people away in advance, so it wasn’t like the previous two times where there were mute servants guarding.
Zong Luo first closed the door and picked up the fire fold and walked into the dark room anxiously.
Even he himself didn’t know why he was so anxious.
Tonight was not the fifteenth, but the smell of blood coming from the dark room was not less, and even more intense, it hit the face head-on, which was shocking.
Swipe—
The fire fold lit up, and the appearance of the dark room was as before.
The walls full of cold stones were all dried up old blood stains, falling down one by one.
