The girl's tone became a little confused: "It's like looking at myself in a mirror with another appearance, and I can't help but feel a sense of closeness in my heart."
"Qingshi, what on earth is going on?"
When Xiao Qing heard the girl's affirmative answer, a look of disbelief burst out in her eyes.
"Could it be that……"
…
Xu Bai naturally didn't know what happened across this wall.
At this moment, his mind was completely immersed in the epiphany of the meaning of the red rope sword.
As the understanding deepened, the red rope that suppressed the black flesh seemed to come to life. It floated gently to Xu Bai's side and surrounded him intimately.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Bai suddenly opened his eyes and flicked his fingers.
A faint red light flashed from his hand, and then flew out towards the twisted flesh in front.
The wailing sounds that kept echoing in the temple suddenly fell silent.
Although he replied immediately after a while.
But such an abnormality still made the woman in gauze skirt waiting behind Xu Bai extremely horrified.
"Sir..." She couldn't help but ask.
Xu Bai stretched out his hand to stop her from asking, but looked at the trace of blood that appeared on his wrist from unknown time.
With the physique of the New Method Nascent Soul cultivators, even wounds sustained by swords and cuts can be recovered in an instant.
But this slight bloodstain seems to be innate and cannot be dispelled.
"Is there such serious side effects?" Xu Bai couldn't help but frown slightly.
"It seems that Xu Ke's disappearance that year may also be related to his repeated use of red rope swordsmanship."
"Although the wooden sword contains the principles of swordsmanship in the world, it cannot attack first."
"Although the rope sword has unparalleled killing intent, it has to fight for its own life."
Xu Bai's eyes flashed with light: "Do they all have certain restrictions? Interesting..."
Next, Xu Bai visited the remaining eight temples in sequence.
In addition to gaining a deeper understanding of the red rope swordsmanship, I also saw with my own eyes the three heads of Chi Jiutou.
The hair, flesh, and eyes of one of the heads had been hollowed out by the Imperials. Only the gray skull remained.
But the remaining two are still alive, just like they had just died.
Even before you get close, you can feel the boundless evil spirit and resentment coming from it.
"What an evil beast!"
This was also Xu Bai's first time to see a real ancient ferocious beast, and he couldn't help but feel secretly terrified.
"Thousands of years after its death, its ferocious nature remains leisurely. I really don't know how ferocious it would have been during its heyday. And Mr. Bai, who can kill it with just a red rope..."
Xu Bai's mind was filled with thoughts.
After the visit, Xu Bai returned to the tower palace.
Looking at the woman with a veil sitting next to Xiaoqing, Xu Bai couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
He tried to raise his right hand.
Something happened that surprised him.
The veiled woman opposite also raised her right hand in unison.
There is no agreement, but it is almost completely synchronized.
It's like there is a mirror between the two of them.
Except for some differences in appearance, the veiled woman is almost like herself.
"Holy blood transformation method." Xu Bai already knew the reason for this phenomenon in an instant.
At the same time, he also knew the identity of the veiled woman in front of him.
The emperor's daughter.
A descendant of Xu Ke, the nominal ruler of the empire.
But he obviously can't show it.
Pretending to be extremely surprised, he stood up suddenly, pointed at the emperor's daughter, and said in a voiceless voice: "What's going on?"
Xiao Qing carefully observed Xu Bai's every expression, trying to find some flaws in it. But she was disappointed.
Xu Bai's performance is almost exactly the same as that of the emperor's daughter.
"It seems that he doesn't know his true identity." Xiao Qing said secretly.
"What do fellow Taoists mean by this?" However, she still decided to test it again, knowing that the consultant asked.
Xu Bai seemed to have recovered from the initial shock at this moment. He stared at the emperor's daughter with a look of deep doubt in his eyes.
"Who is this? Although it is our first time to meet her, I always feel very close and familiar to her."
"It's not an illusion. I feel the same way." The emperor's daughter responded softly.
Xu Bai seemed even more shocked now.
Turning back to look at Xiaoqing: "Fellow Taoist, what on earth is going on?"
Xiaoqing looked at him for a long time before speaking out. Instead of answering, he asked: "Fellow Daoist Xu, how much do you know about your life experience?"
"Life experience?" Xu Bai was stunned.
"I am just an ordinary mortal who originally lived in a certain small world. Later, by chance, I joined the Federation of All Realms, and then I embarked on the path to immortality. My blood relatives have long since passed away..."
"Why, is there something wrong with my life experience?" Xu Bai asked.
Xiaoqing looked into Xu Bai's eyes, as if she wanted to distinguish the truth from falsehood in his words.
After being silent for a long time, I finally gave up.
Then Xiao Qing took out a portrait, and the character in the painting was almost exactly the same as Xu Bai.
"This is..." Xu Bai continued to pretend to be stupid.
"This is the founder of the empire and also my master." Xiao Qing said in a faint tone, "His name is Xu Ke."
"Many years ago, he said goodbye to everyone and has been missing since then."
Xu Bai stared at the portrait, as if shocked by this heavy piece of information, and stood stunned on the spot.
After a long time, he slowly said: "His surname is also Xu. Could it be that I am also a descendant of Xu Ke?"
"At present, it seems that this is the only reasonable explanation." Xiaoqing's tone was also somewhat uncertain.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, which small world is your hometown in? From what I know about the master, it doesn't seem like he will marry and have children..." Xiao Qing asked inexplicably.
"My hometown is..." Xu Bai said and suddenly stopped.
When he came back to his senses, he was the first to complain. Looking at Xiao Qing and the emperor's daughter, his face was filled with suspicion: "Fellow Daoist Qing, are you treating me like a child? Is it such a coincidence?"
"Tell me, what is your purpose?" Xu Bai looked at Xiao Qing coldly.
Faced with Xu Bai's sudden change of attitude, Xiao Qing couldn't help but be stunned.
Then he smiled bitterly: "Actually, it's hard for me to believe it. But everything is such a coincidence. It's like fate, so that I met you thousands of years later, when I had already given up."
"As for whether what I said is true, there is a way to test it and find out."
After Xiaoqing finished speaking, he winked at the emperor's daughter.
The empress took out a scepter and tapped it on the ground.
Then a hole suddenly appeared on the floor, and the three of them were instantly swallowed up by it.
Xu Bai did not resist, and then he came to a huge space with no end in sight.
There are rows of corpses of different beasts here.
Further away, there seemed to be various mechanical devices placed.
Xu Bai wanted to move forward, but found an invisible barrier blocking his way.
"This is the imperial treasure house, which contains the wealth accumulated by the empire over thousands of years."
