Chapter 434 The price of waking up
After listening to several conversations outside the wall of the mansion, Bai Xiao’s image of Zheng Liming, who was ruling with others and doing all kinds of evil appeared in his mind.
Although it is not clear which drama this is playing, at least the role everyone plays has already seen the outline.
It was around the end of a dynasty. Considering the timing of this illusion, it is reasonable to infer that the Fire Dynasty was at the end of a tyrant monarch and treacherous ministers poisoned the people, causing the people to live in poverty. So rebels rose up everywhere, and the team they were in now was a rebel force.
In the rebels, Lan Lan accidentally captured the treacherous ministers, but the treacherous ministers were not satisfied with the rebel general. Instead, they took advantage of the situation and captured innocent people in the fishing village and killed them arbitrarily, so the conversation just now came.
Bai Xiao pondered for a while, considering whether to intervene.
He was sure that this was just a dream, and the cause should be that after the resentment of the suppressed vengeful spirits in the elemental pool was condensed, it mixed with his own memories. What he saw now was the "memory" of the vengeful spirits, but the characters in the memory were replaced by characters familiar to Bai Xiao. And if the story in the dream has been confirmed, no matter how much he did in the dream, it would be useless.
What's more, if the behavior is too out of order and directly dislocation of the dream process from the real historical process, it is still hard to predict what will happen.
While Bai Xiao pondered silently, the people around him were already filled with righteous indignation.
"This dog official is so shameless!"
"The tyrant kings are in power, and naturally there are many treacherous and slanderous people. We must overthrow the tyranny of the tyrant kings as soon as possible to make peace in the world!"
"As long as we save Sister Lan and raise the Holy Maiden flag, we can quickly gather the people..."
"Okay, stop talking. He has dealt with innocent people. Next, it's Sister Lan's turn. We must step up our work!"
At this time, Zheng Liming's voice sounded again in the mansion.
"I have used the dish to serve the wine. Although it is not very refreshing, it's time to serve the main course next. Bring the witch over here. I'll examine her here."
The old servant hesitated for a moment and replied, "As for order."
Outside the wall, Lu Xun and Huang Feng focused their eyes on Bai Xiao at the same time.
Bai Xiao looked back for no reason.
Lu Xun blushed and whispered: "Brother Bai, hurry up and do it! Otherwise it will be too late!"
"Yes, that dog official is still interested in innocent people and has fun slowly, but Sister Lan is the real fire saint. When interrogating, you must first use evil medicine to abolish the elemental affinity! That would be too late!"
The two of them did not dare to speak loudly, so they had to use their hideous expressions to increase the force, which surprised Bai Xiao even more.
First, probably because the actor as the prototype is too deeply rooted in people's hearts, Bai Xiao could not imagine the scene where Lan Lan was abolished by the elemental affinity and became a useless person. He even subconsciously concluded that there was probably other hidden information about Lan Lan's arrest.
Secondly, more than 20 people squatted outside the wall, and then when things came, all of you were watching me? What are you here to do?
However, when he was surprised, Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment and made a decision in his heart.
The next moment, he smashed the courtyard wall with one punch, passed through the smoke and dust, and ran openly towards the mansion with great strides!
"Damn Brother Bai..."
"Brother Bai, calm down!"
The exclamation in the crowd could no longer be suppressed, and the rebels shouted and looked at Bai Xiao's back with a slight look focused by dozens of lights in the courtyard.
This temporary requisitioned mansion by Zheng Liming was paved with a net of heaven and earth on the first day of his stay. The candles hanging under trees, standing on the lampstands, and hanging on the walls were not just used for lighting. When the enemy was discovered invading, the candlelight could instantly turn into a raging flame, burning the enemy to the destruction. More than thirty candles ignite the flames at the same time, and in an instant the flames illuminated half of the sky!
The scorching waves swept out from the breaking wall. More than 20 rebels were unstable and forced to retreat. However, Bai Xiao, who was the first to bear the brunt, suddenly became unaware and stepped on the flames, like a rock breaking through the waves.
In the mansion, Zheng Liming's roar resounded throughout the night sky.
"Defying rebels dare to openly attack court officials?!"
As they spoke, more figures flashed in the courtyard. It was Zheng Liming's accompanying guard. Each of them had a burning fire in their bodies. The flames thrown by the candles in the courtyard became more condensed with the swaying of the fire. Tens of millions of fires squeezed into the middle like water, and the temperature in the courtyard also rose sharply to the point where it could melt gold and iron.
However, there was no Bai Xiao in the middle of the fire pillar.
Before the flame condensed, Bai Xiao had already locked all the accompanying guards' positions, and then completed the killing one by one at an astonishing speed.
All the guards were penetrated by Bai Xiao with a bone spear and killed with one blow. These people were not weak, but they had no experience in dealing with high-speed enemies. Until Bai Xiao was approaching, most of them did not even react.
There were thirty-one people in total. Bai Xiao finished cleaning it in less than two minutes. Then he looked at the dim fire in the courtyard, walked leisurely and walked into the mansion.
The reinforced heavy door fell down with a blow, and the flame trap in the hall was resisted by Bai Xiao with his flesh and blood.
In a sea of fire, Bai Xiao lost Zheng Liming's trace without accident.
Just when the guard was called, the fat man left the bedroom at an astonishing speed, fled along a secret passage, and very decisively destroyed the secret passage entrance with the flames of explosion.
But for those who are good at hunting, this is just a futile struggle. Bai Xiao moved his nose and then pressed his ears to the scorching earth. Zheng Liming's heavy and hasty footsteps were clearly visible.
So he took another step, crossed the courtyard wall in just a few steps, and came to the back mountain of the mansion. Sure enough, under the darkness of night, the figure of Zheng Liming who had just walked out of the secret passage.
Zheng Liming looked at the tall figure falling from the sky in horror and even desperately. His two fat and thick legs became soft and could no longer support their weight. He collapsed to the ground with a gurgle.
"You are the remnant of Wuzong!"
Bai Xiao was not interested in talking to this person, and he would lift the bone spear and give him a skull puncture.
However, it was stopped by Lu Xun who rushed over from behind.
"Brother Bai is calm! Keep someone under the gun!"
"This person is the powerful minion of the dog king. He has a lot of important information and needs to be interrogated carefully. Just killing him like this is too cheap!"
"Yes, I did everything I could to make a lot of hardships to sell my flaws reasonably, and was captured as a prisoner, lurking into the enemy formation... Such a shame is not to harvest a mere fat corpse."
The last voice attracted everyone's attention.
In the woods behind the mountain, Lan Lan walked into everyone's sight with an unpleasant look on his face.
Huang Feng was first excited and took two steps forward to kneel down: "Sir Saint!"
Lan Lan snorted, raised his finger and evoked a hot rising airflow, holding Huang Feng's body in the air, making him unable to worship.
"How many times have I said this? I hate this kind of greeting. The title of saint is too cheap. Now the rebels who have risen from all over the world have elected at least 20 holy sons and saints. I don't want to confuse them with those second-rate characters."
The arrogant girl criticized Huang Feng for playing with him, and then turned around and showed a bright and surprised smile to Bai Xiao.
"I knew you would definitely come to save me! I should promise my life-saving grace. Let's get married later!"
Bai Xiao looked at Lan Lan who was excited and always felt that this person was out of place with the surrounding environment. Everyone else was playing their respective roles seriously, but Lan Lan played the role in his true nature.
Because her presence is so strong that even dreams cannot distort her image?
While thinking, Bai Xiao refused Lan Lan's proposal as usual.
"I have someone I like."
Lan Lan smiled and said, "It's okay, I allow you to have a crush on her after marriage."
Bai Xiao shrugged, not interested in continuing to mess around with her, but asked tentatively: "How do you go out in the future?"
Lan Lan asked back, "Go out, where are you going? Xiaobai, what are you talking about? By the way, your performance just now is very strange. When did you have such strong martial arts power? Is it because of the potential for exploding care for me?"
Bai Xiao looked at Lan Lan seriously and saw a conclusive doubt in her jumping eyes.
In other words, she really knows nothing about her own problems. In other words, she is really just a character in the dream?
Then it's troublesome, how to get out of your dream next...
However, just as Bai Xiao was thinking this, Lan Lan curled her smile and looked up and down with her scrutiny eyes.
"Xiaobai, have you been taken over by someone?"
Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment.
"Although the appearance does not seem to change, the inside is completely different... But I still have a wonderful sense of intimacy with you, so what's going on?"
With Lan Lan's problem, more and more people around him cast doubt and even vigilant eyes.
"Yes, I think Brother Bai's performance is a bit strange."
"Although the power is much stronger, it is not like Brother Bai before..."
Bai Xiao thought about it and decided to answer truthfully: "This world is just a dream formed by the interweaving and mixed memories of countless people. I am a passerby who was suddenly pulled into the dream by someone, and now I am trying to find a way to wake up from my dream."
Huang Feng and others were dumbfounded: "What are you talking about?!"
Seeing that everyone could not understand it at all, Bai Xiao decided to explain the problem more clearly: "In fact, I am living in a future world 5,000 years for you. The Fire Dynasty and even the subsequent Thunder Dynasty have been destroyed. As a member of the archaeological team, I was sucked into this dream while digging out historical relics. The memories in the dream were distorted with my own memories. Historical figures were replaced by those around me, that is, you all."
“…What nonsense are you talking about?!”
Bai Xiao’s concise explanation only made the people around him open their mouths wider, and there was a tendency to be dislocated on the spot.
After pondering, Lu Xun vaguely grasped the situation: "In other words, we are all just dreamers, only you are real? But how can you accurately distinguish between dreams and reality? It is possible that the so-called future is the dream, and this is the real world?"
Lan Lan sneered: "What a stupid problem, of course, it is because Xiaobai suddenly becomes stronger. The difference between reality and falsehood lies in the difference between existence. Dreams can be distorted, and dreamers can wake up, but reality cannot. Xiaobai suddenly becomes so strong, which can indeed prove that this is the dream world."
Lu Xun nodded with a wry smile: "I didn't expect you to accept this kind of problem so easily."
But someone next to him still didn't understand: "No, we clearly have very clear memories of the past. I still remember what happened when I was six years old. How could it be a dream character!?"
Lan Lan said: "Memory is not something that cannot be fabricated, don't ask such stupid questions."
After a pause, Lan Lan said again: "So, do you want to wake up now?"
Bai Xiao said: "Do you have a way?"
Chapter completed!
