Crown of Silence

Chapter 793 Why?

A distant dream

Bai Xi dreamed that she was singing.

In the dilapidated palace, under the setting sun, she saw a dim light shining on the roof, and the broken beasts on the eaves reflected the iron light.

Withered vines fell from the roof, following the sunlight, and hung from the cracks into the empty hall.

Those slender weeds and bones were entangled together, and flowers bloomed from the empty eye sockets.

Those ministers in court robes had turned into skeletons, but even if they were skeletons, they still prostrated themselves on the ground, classified on both sides, worshiping the high throne.

Paying homage to the supreme emperor.

The skeletons rang the bells, and the solemn and solemn music seemed to come from the underworld, congratulating the arrival of the new emperor.

"Everyone, please stand up."

Bai Xi stepped barefoot on the broken steps and looked down, but no one responded. The skeletons crawled on the ground, maintaining awe until death.

In the silence, only the emperor sang softly, wandered in the palace, and danced together under the dim sunlight.

In the soft and charming dance, the clothes fluttered in the wind, dancing with the dust.

The decadent and declining things crawled under the pair of toes.

Bai Xi looked around at everything.

Everything was quiet and beautiful.

Everything seemed fine.

Just a little insignificant...loneliness.

——

Bai Xi opened her eyes and woke up from the bed. She saw the light of the sunset outside the window, which was not dazzling.

The soft light shone on her wrist. After a long nap, the laziness seemed to be entangled in her bones, making her unable to raise her spirits.

"Awake?"

The emperor sat on the chair, looking at the packed gifts next to him: "It seems that you have already packed them. You are so impatient, which really makes me feel disappointed."

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

Bai Xi turned over, lying on the bed and staring at the emperor, with a happy smile: "Since returning to the East, Your Majesty has treated me as his own child. Now it seems that this cold palace also has a sense of home. When I think about leaving here, I naturally feel reluctant."

The emperor lowered his head and drank tea, but raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you sincere or false?"

"Of course I am sincere."

"This is a little more pleasant to the ear."

The emperor put down the teacup, raised his phoenix eyes to look at her, with pity in his eyes: "For so long, even if your adoptive father is Bai Heng, I have never been on guard against you, but have always been careful and cautious about you. I will pass on all my experience to you, and give you the glory and power above all others.

Now you are willing to give up everything I gave you, and then go back to be a bird in a cage?"

"This is 'love'."

Bai Xi shook her head and sighed, with a hint of mockery in her tone: "Your Majesty, an old woman like you will not understand."

"I am the master of the world, and I have no reason to care about trivial things like love between men and women. But what about you, Bai Xi?"

The emperor asked calmly: "When you have the so-called 'love', which hand will you use to hold the 'power' and 'strength' you want?

Relying on a Where will the things gained from a man's favor go after he loses his favor? You must know that serving a man with beauty will not last long. "

"Your Majesty is worthy of being your Majesty. Even the words you use to keep people are so different."

Bai Xi chuckled, propped herself up slightly, leaned forward to look at the emperor's indifferent expression, and said seriously: "Since Your Majesty is so reluctant to let me go, why not let me eat in the east and sleep in the west.

This way, wouldn't it be great?"

"What nonsense."

The emperor threw a poppy on her forehead without even raising his head: "It seems that you have decided to leave?"

"Isn't this good? It's good for both you and me. "

Bai Xi raised her head and rubbed the red mark on her forehead. Her smile was hidden under her palm. She spoke softly, "Your Majesty, you taught me so many things and wanted me to become like you... But for so long, I have been watching you work so hard for those boring things, and I just felt pity for you. "

"Every time I can't help but think, why is it not me who sits on that chair? It would be great if it was me..."

Bai Xi sighed softly, and she said:

"--You must be not as good as me."

In the long silence, the emperor looked down at the teacup for a long time, and then laughed softly.

"Really?"

She whispered softly, "Then I feel relieved."

As she sighed, the sound of armor rubbing against each other sounded. In the roar, the door of the room opened with a bang, and two rows of strict soldiers rushed into the door. In an instant, layers of shackles fell on Bai Xi.

Under the protection of the imperial guards, the emperor reached out to brush off the dust on his body and said goodbye to Bai Xi:

"In this way, no matter what happens,...you can at least realize one of the two wishes of 'leaving here' and 'becoming the emperor'."

--

Ye Qingxuan heard the sound of thunder.

He opened his eyes and saw the dome above his head falling apart in front of him.

At that moment, the entire roof seemed to be deformed by the strong wind, twisting to conform to the tyrannical force, but it was difficult to maintain its own structure, and finally it was even too late to wail before it fell apart.

The loud noise only burst out now.

Countless broken tiles and stone pieces followed the broken beams and pressed down. The walls on all sides flew outward in the air waves, leaving only a mess.

Amid the countless dust flying, Ye Qingxuan slowly got up, and the bed behind him finally collapsed completely.

Across the realm of Sheng Zai, he looked at the musicians flying in the sky and sighed softly.

"What's going on?"

"Today, there is a traitor named Ye Qingxuan who disrespects the king's law, disrespects the emperor's name, secretly communicates with the traitor, and has evil intentions..."

In the sky, a musician unfolded the imperial edict, and after reading a lot of words, he looked at Ye Qingxuan coldly: "Marquis Chang Yu, if you surrender, you can ask His Majesty to strip you of your title and become a commoner, and save your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Ye Qingxuan tilted his head and looked at the officers and soldiers who surrounded him in three layers. He was silent for a long time and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Is this considered hiding the bow after the bird is dead? No, it's not the same as cooking the running dog after the rabbit dies? Well, if you have to say it, it should be 'crossing the river and destroying the bridge', right?"

He looked in the direction of the palace and asked curiously:

"What are you looking for?"

You want Bai Heng, and Bai Heng has been caught by you.

You want night, and I've waited until night.

As a result, this is what's going on now...

Why bother?

"In the end, we still have to fight."

He stretched out his hand, tied his long hair into a ponytail behind his head, and nodded slightly: "Then fight."

In the sky, the leading scepter had a gloomy face.

"Toast or not..."

Bang!

After a ray of fierce light flew past, half of the bloody body fell from the air.

Facing the pale faces of the others, Ye Qingxuan nodded slightly:

"The first one."

He took a step, and countless stars rose from behind him, and the majestic majesty soared into the sky. In the void, the friction with the invisible music theory burst out with a sharp sound of metal colliding.

The authority of King Huang and the power of the Great Wall collided in one place.

Under the blockade of the Great Wall, all ether stopped flowing, but under the push of King Huang's authority, the forcibly solidified ether was violently pushed up by the invisible force.

It was like the frozen water in the stone jar was forcibly stirred by the iron pestle, the ice broke apart, and the biting cold spread, and countless tiny "ice chips" flew in all directions.

Then, the melody of the new world sounded.

The stars burst.

Another scarlet burst out from the sky.

"The second one..."

Ye Qingxuan whispered softly, straightened his collar in front of the broken bronze mirror in the ruins, and headed towards the distant palace. With a roar, he faced the iron cavalry sweeping on the street.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

His every move seemed to drag an invisible behemoth, and the sound of countless broken strings came one after another.

The Great Wall that Zhendan had built and maintained for hundreds of years was now pressing down in the capital, and the terrifying gravity that was enough to suppress natural disasters was applied to Ye Qingxuan's scepter.

Not only the ether net, but at this moment, even the existence of the ether sea became so distant.

The element of the Wheel of Balance obtained by Zhendan is "maintenance".

After incorporating the maintenance element, the Great Wall becomes almost indestructible, and the stability of the music theory rises to a level that humans can hardly imagine, with no gaps at all.

The huge barrier that separates the inside and the outside shrinks at this moment, turning into a cage on Ye Qingxuan.

Even with the authority of the King of Yellow in hand, the ether that can be mobilized is getting less and less...

Dozens of musicians are now attacking Ye Qingxuan in the sky at the risk of their lives, forcing him to fight back continuously, wasting the power in the blood of the dragon vein.

"That's it, don't stop!"

The musician who was conducting the scene tightly grasped the roll of mobilizing the Great Wall and blocking Ye Qingxuan's tricks, with a sinister look in his eyes: "Natural disasters still have limits. I don't believe that after cutting off the ether network, without Anglo's strategic ether reserves, how much power he can squander..."

At that moment, he felt a cold gaze falling on him.

It was Ye Qingxuan on the ground.

That was not the killing intent of humiliation.

Instead, he faced the indifference and disregard of the clown.

He took a look, then looked away nonchalantly, then took out the last pack of cigarettes from his pocket, rubbed a flame with his fingers, lit it, took a slow puff, and then exhaled a wisp of green smoke into the sky.

Surrounded by thousands of troops, he acted as if no one else was around.

The musician was angered by the contempt in his eyes, his face turned ashen, and angrily ordered an attack: "Under the net of heaven and earth, let's see how long you can be arrogant!"

Then, he saw it.

Above the earth, Ye Qingxuan's hand holding the cigarette slowly raised and pointed to the sky.

In the solidified wind, the dark red flame flickered at the fingertips, and the gray-white smoke condensed into a line and rose to the sky.

That was the last wisp of ether contained in Ye Qingxuan's blood.

It was placed on the smoke and turned into a burning star, rising to the sky. After gathering the music theory of the Sword of the New Testament, the stars with endless lightning suddenly soared above the sky.

Among the stars, countless complex alchemical matrices emerged. In a flash, the four realms of "flow", "creation", "formation" and "activity" were completed. In that place that was not even the size of a needle tip, countless music theories were stirring and connecting with each other, forming a structure that was almost difficult to observe with the naked eye.

Then, it exploded!

That was light.

Pure and violent music theory light!

It only lasted for a moment.

The light that flashed thousands of times overlapped in one place, and between birth and death, it formed the violent lightning of Gungnir, upward, upward, and upward... After tearing through layers of shackles, it was annihilated in the blockade of the Great Wall.

But the bright light that could be observed by human eyes passed through the cover of the illusion of the sea of ​​clouds and sent a signal to the steel warship hovering above the sea of ​​clouds.

——I am here.

At that moment, the Nomadic Mountain woke up from its slumber, the decks opened layer by layer, and even most of the armor of the hull fell off with the rivets breaking.

Hidden under the armor and the cabin board was the terrifying main gun that occupied nearly one-third of the hull.

At this moment, with the turn of the hull, it was aimed at the place where the light was.

Hephaestus, start!

Sorry, sorry, I have been too lazy during this period. Starting next week, I will try to resume updating~
