Three hundred and sixtieth IX trapped
At night, the outskirts of Suicheng fell into tranquility, but the too quiet environment was inevitably gloomy. The sounds of the leaves occasionally moving seemed very strange in such a quiet place.
Zhang Tiandao was wearing a Taoist robe, and the whisk in his hand swung slightly under the night wind. Behind him was a huge and round moon, and the Taoist robe flew in the direction of the wind. In this way, he really looked like an immortal who saved all living beings.
"Princess, you are very on time." Zhang Tiandao replied. Not far away, Xu Jinyan came slowly in the moonlight. Under the moonlight, it seemed that only Xu Jinyan was walking alone, but Zhang Tiandao could clearly see the abnormal movements of the treetops and the ups and downs of the grass, all of which were hidden masters.
"I dare not be late. How dare I disobey the master's time with such supernatural powers?" Xu Jinyan walked to Zhang Tiandao.
"Since the princess comes here in the middle of the night, I will not waste much time. I can tell the princess what she wants to know, but whether she can find out the whole truth depends on her own ability." "Master, please tell me." Xu Jinyan nodded. Zhang Tiandao took out a piece of blue wood from his sleeve, and the wood was carved with beautiful patterns. The direction and painting method of the patterns were very strange, not like something from the Central Plains.
"It is not easy to explore the princess for two lives. It requires princess to concentrate all her spirit and energy, inject her will into this section of divine wood, and then ignite this wood. In the flames, the princess can see her past and present life clearly." Xu Jinyan took the piece of wood with a smile on her face, "How can such a piece of wood have such great ability?"
"That was a section captured by the No Tribe's sacred tree. It has the power of heaven. It can not only break through the fog of this life, but also see the doubts of the previous life."
"Such a good thing... Is it worthy to give it to me?" Xu Jinyan looked at the piece of wood with interesting taste. The patterns on the wood were winding and colliding together like roaring human faces. When he took a look at it casually, such a piece of wood was really terrifying. But the only problem was... the pattern was too deliberate, it seemed like a trace carved by man.
Zhang Tiandao seemed a little anxious, "Princess, I am a princess, I am a strange fate. I have a fate with me and I want to help the princess again. I have completed this fate. If the princess doesn't believe me, there is no need to say so much. You can return this tree to me."
Xu Jinyan moved the piece of wood back and smiled at Zhang Tiandao and said, "Don't be angry, the little girl just talks casually. I don't expect that she would make the big guy unhappy. It's the little girl's fault."
Zhang Tiandao's face calmed down now.
"I am not unhappy. If the princess really understands the cause and effect of the past and present life, this piece of wood will be in the princess' hands. Please decide whether to ignite it."
Liuli's eyes turned, her expression was unclear, and she smiled, looking very casual.
"Since the master wants to help me like this, how can I refuse the master's kindness?"
With a "swish", Xu Jinyan lit the strange-looking wood without thinking, and his movements were so fast that even Zhang Tiandao did not expect it. He looked at Xu Jinyan in the fire, and saw that the clear and gentle face became bright and dark against the backdrop of the fire. A pair of glass eyes seemed to flow out in a light blinking. Zhang Tiandao subconsciously looked at those eyes, but as soon as he touched it, he felt as if he had seen the invisible abyss. Under the abyss, there was the most vicious and evil thing in the world shouting and roaring.
Zhang Tiandao suddenly shivered.
The fire was wrapped around the wood, and the smell of the wood was stimulated by the fire. The smell of the whole wood burst out in an instant. The smell was not like the fragrance of other woods, and it was very rich. After one or two rounds between the nose, the brain was so painful.
Zhang Tiandao carefully observed Xu Jinyan's expression. After seeing Xu Jinyan's brows tightly frowning and reaching out to support his forehead, Zhang Tiandao's mind was a little relieved, but he did not dare to let go. He deceived many people with this true and false Taoist technique between countries, but this time he met Princess Ning'an, he still felt unsure. One reason was that the identity of this returning person made him feel that Xu Jinyan was unfathomable, and the other reason was that... all this went too smoothly.
Can you really achieve your plan so easily when facing such an opponent who has two lives?
It was not until Zhang Tiandao saw Xu Jinyan's dizzy expression that his mind completely relaxed.
So what if you have lived for two lifetimes? When you meet him, Zhang Tiandao, you have to surrender obediently.
Zhang Tiandao twitched the corner of his lips, "Princess, have you seen what you want to see?"
Xu Jinyan supported his head with his hands, as if his head was dizzy, but she still answered Zhang Tiandao's words, "No... nothing, only a circle of fire, nothing left."
Zhang Tiandao looked around. The treetops and grass were still stable, as if there were no people hiding at all.
"Prince, your obsession may be hidden too deeply. Such a piece of wooden section is not enough to let you see everything you want to know. If you really want to know, it is better to go to the same place with you next." Zhang Tiandao waved his whisk and signaled a lake not far away. The lake surface of the lake was covered with steam, clouds and mist, and I couldn't see the way forward or the place I went. Once I went deeper, I could no longer find any clues.
"Princess, please follow me."
Xu Jinyan nodded. The glass eyes that were always enchanting with aura had completely become empty and numb, as if they had been sucked by someone else's soul, and could only act like a marionette puppet.
Xu Jinyan followed Zhang Tiandao and kept moving forward, as if he had completely lost his thoughts.
Nurbu in the dark clenched his hand tightly. Looking at Xu Jinyan's numb eyes, Nurbu could hardly help rush out. Banxia reached out and patted Nurbu's hand, lowered her voice and said, "Don't be impulsive, the lady has her own opinions, we should not cause trouble for her."
The warmth from his hands touched Nurbu's heart trembled. He let out a long sigh of relief, and his anxiety in his heart slightly relieved. But his eyes were still looking at the figure that was almost trapped in the white mist.
Once they entered the white fog, they could no longer see clearly.
"Banxia, are we just watching the lady go deep into such a dangerous place?" Nurbu couldn't hide his worries. He had just seen something was wrong with the white mist and had already secretly investigated. Behind the white mist were a group of Turkic soldiers. Xu Jinyan's departure was nothing more than a sheep entering the tiger's mouth and sent himself into the extremely dangerous situation with his own hands.
The white mist is thick, and the lake is decorated with a fairyland that looks beautiful, but this beauty covers all the dangers behind it. The surface looks calm, but in fact, there has been a huge crisis inside.
Banxia comforted Nurbu, "Don't be afraid, we are in the dark, they are in the light, and the lady has not completely cut off contact with us this time. Moreover, all the secret guards are protecting each other in close proximity and there will be no problems."
Nurbu nodded, but sweat was still in his palm. He stared at the white mist in front of him. Finally, the figure squeezed into the white mist and could no longer see the clues. "I'm afraid that if it's not the only one, and... the lady is not alone now. If something really happens, how can we face Lord Zhang in the future?" Nurbu sighed.
Banxia was a little surprised, "You actually knew that the lady was pregnant..."
Nurbu knew that this matter was beyond the scope of Banxia's expectations, and the lady was hiding the matter. Even she and Honeysuckle had been together for a long time before they could detect it from clues in life.
How careful she was, and taking care of the lady's life, she realized that the lady was pregnant. So how did Nurbu know?
When Nurbu saw Banxia being surprised, he touched his head and explained, "I guessed it when I saw the lady retching those days, and then I saw you always boil medicine for the lady. I thought that the lady has always been healthy and shouldn't have taken medicine, so I guessed it."
Banxia suddenly raised her eyebrows and said, "Have you ever married?"
Nurbu was surprised and shook his head in a panic and said, "How is it possible? Where did I marry? I have never eaten the meal made by a woman before."
This is almost the same... Banxia looked again, "Then how can you know that dry retching is a sign of pregnancy? You lied to me!"
"No, no, when I was in Uighurs, a wife under my subordinate was pregnant. I heard what he said. I thought that if I had a wife in the future, I would definitely take care of her carefully, so I listened to a few more words." Nurbu was very anxious when explaining, afraid that Banxia would misunderstand.
Banxia smiled a little, but she didn't expect that Nurbu, who looked so careless, had such a careful side, which really made her look at her differently.
In front of him, Honeysuckle turned around unbearably, "You two can calm down. The lady is in danger now. She is flirting at this critical moment."
It's nothing to flirt with. The lady has a secret guard to protect her. In addition, the lady herself is still full of bad water. Even if the matter is not done, she should not be able to suffer any loss.
But Banxia and Nurbu were so disgusting. They were all messy, and they made her feel goosebumps all over her body.
If this continues, she will apply to the lady to do business separately from these two people.

"Kneel down!"
Xu Jinyan was pressed into a side hall in the Royal Palace of Hughes City. A fat man stood in front of the golden throne. The man turned his back to Xu Jinyan. His huge body brought a great sense of oppression. Xu Jinyan was pressed to the ground hard and knelt down. She lowered her eyes and did not look at the huge figure in front of the throne. Her hands placed on both sides of her body were pressed against the ground, and her nails were embedded in the land. Kuquan, she finally saw you.
I have no chance to collect debts from you in my previous life, so I will give you all the money back to me in this life. Zhang Tiandao shook the whisk in his hand again. The wind swung out of the whisk swept across Xu Jinyan's cheek. Xu Jinyan felt chills and gently moved his body, deviating from Zhang Tiandao.
"Prince, I've brought someone to you."
The person in front of the throne then turned around when he heard the sound. His fat body moved gently, and the light in the room seemed to change with the change. He walked down slowly, and his steps continued forward until he stopped in front of Xu Jinyan.
"Are you a person who returns?" Kuquan stretched out his hand frivolously to lift Xu Jinyan's chin. Xu Jinyan was forced to see such an old and ugly face. Kuquan was already very old. His years of proficiency left obvious marks on his face. Large areas of wrinkles were covered with such an old face. With his movements, the wrinkles trembled. He was even laughing, his yellow teeth bared his lips, which made the eyes hurt. Xu Jinyan did not answer Kuquan's words, but just stared at him. Her hands were placed beside her, but no one could feel them. The white hands were tightly pressed against the ground, and the nails were buried deep in the ground and finally broke. He tore off some flesh and blood, dyeing the small piece of land red.
Zhang Tiandao said to Ku Quan: "Prince, I have confirmed it. She is a person who has returned, and it is certain."
"I really can't bear to throw such a beauty into the fire soup." Kuquan's actions became more and more excessive. His hand let go of Xu Jinyan's chin and turned to Xu Jinyan's face. Xu Jinyan's cheeks were sore that the rough palms grinded Xu Jinyan's cheeks. She raised her head and looked at Kuquan and suddenly laughed, "It turns out that the Zuoxian Prince of the Turks is such a person. He believes whatever others say."
Kuquan paused, "What did you say?"
"The prince should know that I am Prince Ning'an of Beiming. In Beiming, I am a person with status. I wonder what the prince is trying to rob me here today? If the prince thinks that the relationship between the Turks and Beiming is too good, even if he is so provocative, Beiming can accept it all, the prince would be too high at the benevolence of His Majesty in our country." Ku Quan sneered and opened Xu Jinyan's face and said, "Do you think you can leave after you come? People from Beiming will not know your whereabouts, nor will you know that you will stay with me forever."
Zhang Tiandao also came out at the right time and said, "This is why the princess has troubled. When the princess enters the sword refining pool, her body is swallowed by fire and turned into nothing. Not to mention that His Majesty Beiming doesn't know where you have gone, even the secret guards who protect you will not know your whereabouts. The princess should know the purpose of the sword refining pool, so I don't need to explain it more."
"Anyway, you will disappear from this world forever without leaving any trace."
Zhang Tiandao's tone was very gentle, just like he was talking about a bedtime script that made people fall asleep quickly, but behind such a gentle tone was the most gloomy and terrifying truth.
He said with a smile. "The Taoist priest has great ability to melt the flesh with fire. The Taoist priest has tried his best to deceive me. What is the cause and condition of the previous life and the consequences of this life? After so much talk, it turns out that the Taoist priest just wanted me to make a sacrificial item. It was really a laborer who had to spend so much effort and went around such a big circle." Xu Jinyan sneered.
Zhang Tiandao shook his head, "Princess, your life is too precious. Your life is worth ten thousand people in one life. It is so expensive, no matter how much I put in my effort."
Xu Jinyan didn't want to get entangled with Zhang Tiandao anymore, so she turned her head to Ku Quan and said, "Prince, if I really put me in that sea of fire, I will just die, and you will lose more."
Kuquan was stunned. The woman kneeling below smiled and looked calm, especially those eyes, the light of faith inside made people unable to help but be attracted by those eyes.
"What do you mean?" Ku Quan asked. "Prince, I don't mean anything. If you want to die with Ning An, you can throw Ning An into the fire pool and die with the prince, that would be Ning An's honor." Xu Jinyan just smiled, but that smile made Ku Quan feel irritated when he saw it.
Zhang Tiandao immediately stopped Ku Quan from continuing his conversation with Xu Jinyan, "Prince, don't listen to the nonsense of this witch. I have calculated the time. The next day, the right time, place and people will be the best day. At that time, I will devote her to the newly dug sword refining pool and complete the final life ceremony with her flesh and blood. Prince, you have been waiting for a long time and can't continue to wait."
Ku Quan was so moved by Zhang Tiandao's words that he had indeed waited for a long time. Ku Quan gave up and continued to study Xu Jinyan's words. He just waved to his subordinates as Xu Jinyan was talking nonsense and said, "Take the person down and take good care of him. I will use her to sacrifice to the sword pond the next day."
Xu Jinyan was pulled up rudely by the Turkic soldiers, and she was not panicked. She pushed the soldiers away and stood up gracefully, "Prince, you will have some small troubles tomorrow. You must deal with it carefully, otherwise... there may be a big crisis."
Zhang Tiandao didn't understand what Xu Jinyan was doing in this action, but he thought that he must be doing something that was not good for him. Zhang Tiandao quickly waved his hand and asked a few Turkic soldiers to escort Xu Jinyan and no longer gave Xu Jinyan a chance to talk to Kuquan.
Xu Jinyan's level of danger seemed to be far greater than his expectations. If such a woman was allowed to continue to exist in the world, it would be a harm to anyone.
The turmoil that a person who knows the future will cause is not something that this era can bear.
Zhang Tiandao is well aware of this principle, so he never asked Xu Jinyan about his future because he knew that once the future was known to him, the future would be completely changed at that moment.
It may sound a bit confusing, but Xu Jinyan is the best example. She is a person who returns to the world and knows her future, so she overturns the past of the previous life bit by bit according to her original memory. Xu Jinyan's original life has long been completely changed.
The moment she knew the future, the future changed completely.
Zhang Tiandao didn't want to know his future, so what he wanted was far from this.
Xu Jinyan has caused enough chaos, so let it end the day after tomorrow.
