I, Guhuo Bird, am not an umbrella demon, please don’t disturb me

The name "One Hundred Thousand Mountains" has been around for a long time. Because it is large enough, has many peaks, and is endless, it is also called the "One Hundred Thousand Mountains". Bai Qingyu often talks to Xiaoya about the "One Hundred Thousand Mountains" and the monsters in it, hoping that Leave some impression on her, after all, we will work together in the future.

Xiaoya nodded, looking forward to it.

She has a good impression of the demon clan. After all, she grew up in Tongzhou and is very curious about this sacred land of the demon clan.

It didn't take long to arrive inside the Shiwanda Mountain. Different from the first time, the only person who came to pick up Bai Qingyu this time was Tianjiao himself.

She has been here several times, and Tianjiao doesn't like to have any sense of ceremony. She feels that it is like treating strangers. We are all a family, and there is no need to have such a big battle every time.

This time when Bai Qingyu came, Tianjiao took a good look at Xiaoya. He never stopped praising Xiaoya. He praised Xiaoya very much. It could be seen from her eyes that she was very, very fond of Xiaoya. Satisfied, and because of this, he and Bai Qingyu discussed for a long time, and finally decided to let Xiaoya stay for half a year, and Bai Qingyu did the same.

Tianjiao personally taught Xiaoya how to practice, and also personally prepared treasures for Xiaoya to replenish her body.

After so many years of contact, Bai Qingyu also trusted her. In the past six months, she had been traveling back and forth between Tongzhou and Shiwandashan.

Such frequent interactions will naturally attract the attention of the monks. Bai Qingyu doesn't care, but few people know about Xiaoya. She went to Shiwanda Mountain and stayed to practice, and only Tianjiao, Peacock and Tamamo Mae Know.

In half a year, Xiaoya's improvement was much greater than Bai Qingyu imagined. Facts have proved that she is still too old when it comes to coaching apprentices. Tianjiao beat her in almost all aspects, and Xiaoya's improvement was also as powerful as a tiger.

Bai Qingyu felt at the time that the 14-year-old Xiaoya was only in the early stage of divine transformation at most, but under the guidance of Tianjiao, she was suddenly promoted to the middle and late stage of divine transformation.

If this continues, when Xiaoya takes over, the integration period is expected.

So far, everything is going well.

Even Bai Qingyu sighed with emotion. If this continues, even if the ruins are not developed, we can still fight.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains are not just decorations, and all the monsters inside are powerful enough to pull them out. Of course, if she is willing, Tianjiao may not be willing.

Because the effect was better than everyone thought, Xiaoya simply continued to stay there and followed Bai Qingyu home until she was 16 years old. At this time, she had already reached a level of cultivation that was unbelievable.

The price and energy spent on practicing Xu at the age of 16 are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

I don't know if he is too busy or too idle. After two and a half years, Bai Qingyu still doesn't feel that anything big is happening outside. The world structure has not changed at all. Maybe the world should be like this. There were definitely a lot of things in the past few years. That's because She likes to go out and run around. The more she runs, the more things she encounters.

What's more, at this time, no sect would jump out to seek death like Fu Yao Sect and Life Sect. They all stopped to preserve their strength, and at the same time, they were frantically recruiting new disciples.

There are still a few decades to train another group of disciples.

This approach is actually easy to understand. Based on the summary of previous great catastrophes, everyone knows that the essence of great catastrophes is to weaken the number of monks. Every sect has to suffer a knife, so it is better to recruit more cannon fodder to fill the holes. Being dissatisfied can also increase the strength of the sect somewhat.

Not only small sects do this, but also large sects, such as Tianyang Palace.

Tianyang Palace did not lower its standards too much. It relaxed a little and increased the frequency of recruiting disciples. In the past, it was basically once every three to five years, and the prefectures and counties were different each time. Recently, it is once a year. To recruit, not only those states and counties came in turn, but the entire Great Spirit took action, regardless of states, counties or towns.

It can be said that everyone from Tianyang Palace has been sent out. It is worth mentioning that even so, Dongqing has not been released.

The reason is that many sects have joined forces to force Tianyang Palace, and the target of the blame is Dongqing. The most mainstream voice is, can Bai Dongqing take on the responsibility of Tianjian?

When Bai Qingyu heard the news, he felt outrageous. What does the Heavenly Sword of Tianyang Palace and the disciples of Tianyang Palace have to do with you? Even if Tianyang Palace breaks the Heavenly Sword, it has nothing to do with them, does it? What about the great calamity? All we can say is, without the Heavenly Sword, you won’t be able to live anymore?

What kind of Heavenly Sword is really so capable? Why not go to the Demon Sword to cause trouble and let the Demon Sword strangle it?

It was this news that made Bai Qingyu look down on these guys more and more.

I am not very capable, so I ask others for one thing after another.

It was also this year that Bai Qingyu received some not-so-good news.

Xu Yuanqing suddenly asked her to talk about something, but he had to let her go secretly.

Xu Yuanqing was full of ideas, and when the news was sent to her, Bai Qingyu knew something was wrong.

The next day, he used the power of luck to hide himself and rushed to the capital, where he instantly arrived at Xu Yuanqing's residence.

It was early in the morning, and Xu Yuanqing was still sitting in the yard drinking tea. When he saw Bai Qingyu suddenly appear opposite him, he couldn't help but spit out all the tea in his mouth. The knot that rose up from Bai Qingyu's mouth was half way through. All the world is blocked.

Seeing Bai Qingyu frowning, Xu Yuanqing stood up quickly, "Sorry, sorry, very sorry, Divine Phoenix Empress, I, I really didn't know you would come at this time."

Bai Qingyu sat in his seat, jumped the barrier with his finger and flew into the flower pond not far away.

"Stop talking nonsense, something happened."

Xu Yuanqing put down the teacup with an embarrassed look on his face and sat back down.

"Well, to be honest with you, I have something important to say when I come to see you this time. Here's the thing. Your Majesty's condition suddenly worsened the night before yesterday. I have personally gone to see you. Your Majesty, I'm afraid he won't live more than two years. "

The message was very short, and Bai Qingyu frowned deeply.

Xu Yuanqing had said before that the Human Emperor's condition was pretty good, but he could only live for ten years at most. She thought that since he was the Human Emperor after all, there should be no problem based on the longest life span of ten years, but she didn't expect that this person The emperor is so weak that he can no longer hold on after only so many years.

The problem is, Xiaoya is only 16 years old, two years later.

If Xiaoya lives for ten years, she will be 20 years old. She feels that it is too early to be in power at 20 years old, let alone in her teens.

"Is there a way to save it?"

Bai Qingyu doesn't want Renhuang to die so early. It's best to live for another five or eight years and give her some time and Xiaoya some time.

Xu Yuanqing shook his head, "There is no way. Everyone from Tianyang Palace has looked at His Majesty's condition. Yangshou is about to come to an end. No one can save him and no one dares to save him."

After all, he is still the Human Emperor. No matter how mediocre or incompetent this Human Emperor may be, with his identity here, Bai Qingyu does not believe that people in Tianyang Palace cannot extend the life span of a mortal, but he is just afraid of God's backlash.

Interfering with the Human Emperor is interfering with God, and Mahayana does not dare to do so. Once something goes wrong, it will be punished by heaven.

She had tried the taste of heavenly punishment, and that time it was with God's tacit approval. I'm afraid it was just a casual meaning. If it was really true, she would probably be gone.

"Two years is too short."

"I know, but there is nothing I can do. Your Majesty, that's what I thought. Let the Nine Emperor Goddess come back first. I didn't expect His Majesty to be unable to hold on so quickly. It's true that there is not enough time, but I have to let His Highness come back. , paving the way for her.”

Xu Yuanqing had no choice. He originally thought that Xiaoya would directly become the Human Emperor when he came back. Even if that didn't work, he would show her face in the capital for half a year after returning and arrange her identity. It would be like plating it with gold. Then she would not have any trouble getting to the throne. .

This sudden incident can only bring Xiaoya back.

No matter how powerful he is, no matter how prestigious and powerful he is in the court, he can't make an airborne Ninth Princess become the human emperor now.

If it's airborne, he can definitely do it. He has many ways. The question is, if he does it now, what about in the future?

He, Xu Yuanqing, wants to assist Xiaoya. If he comes to be tough, his character will be completely ruined and everything he does in the future will be very difficult.

After Xu Yuanqing explained it clearly to Bai Qingyu, he waited for Bai Qingyu's answer.

Bai Qingyu pondered for a while and then said: "If it doesn't work in two years, I will send Xiaoya back next year. Don't worry about your worries. I believe in Xiaoya."

There is nothing you can do about it, and you can’t let go of your cultivation. One year is the limit.

"One year..."

Xu Yuanqing still had some embarrassment on his face. One year was indeed too short. Of course it could be done, but the price would be much higher. But since Bai Qingyu said so, he could only agree. Who let her have the final say? Woolen cloth.

"Just one year, just one year. What are your plans, Madam?"

The Human Emperor can't hold on for long. Two years is the limit, and it is also the most likely time for his death as calculated by Xu Yuanqing. As a minister, it is indeed disrespectful for him to think about this. If the Human Emperor knows that he is good-looking.

But there is no way. To be honest, Xu Yuanqing has been planning this matter for a long time. What he serves is not the Human Emperor but the common people, just like his master told him.

If possible, he also wants to find a capable and capable Human Emperor to take the throne. This will not only make him, the national master, more relaxed, but it will also be a good thing for the people of the world. Cooperating with Bai Qingyu, the key to the matter lies in Bai Xiaoya On the Ninth Princess.

It was time for him to take a gamble. He had already seen the other princes and princesses. They were all unlikely candidates to achieve great things. Not only were they difficult to achieve, some of them even had the potential to be tyrants and cowards. If these were allowed to If one of them goes up, the whole world will not be able to live a good life.

On the Ninth Emperor's side, it is not so much that he believes in Xiaoya, but rather that he believes in Bai Qingyu's character. He believes that Bai Qingyu will not cultivate some people who cheat on others, nor will he cultivate a brainless human emperor. Besides, After all, the son of destiny, with Bai Qingyu's careful training, will achieve great things no matter what.

Bai Qingyu pondered, "In this year, you will do whatever you want. One year later, I will send Xiaoya here. I know what you are worried about. It's okay. Just believe in her. She will not be like this person now." The emperor let you fight alone like this."

To put it bluntly, Xu Yuanqing was worried that if he pushed Xiaoya up by force, his reputation in the court would be affected, which would affect his ability to help Xiaoya later.

He used to have a bad reputation, but that was for some scum that should be cleaned up. Now after so many years, those that should be cleaned up have long been cleaned up, and the only ones left are some honest officials who can be trusted. If among these people With no reputation and prestige in his eyes, Xu Yuanqing was afraid that there would be big problems in the court.

Those who stay may not necessarily be old foxes, but they definitely have a heart for the country and the people. The more they are like this, the easier it is to become passionate.

They absolutely couldn't stand the Human Emperor turning into a puppet, and they couldn't stand Xu Yuanqing putting a puppet on the throne.

Because he now has too high a position and too much power, others are sensitive to his every move.

Bai Qingyu chatted with Xu Yuanqing for a while and helped him come up with ideas. On the surface, Xu Yuanqing kept saying that her plan was very good, but in fact, her eyes were wandering and she obviously had a solution. Seeing this, she simply didn't stop and kept silent. Disappeared into Xu Yuanqing's Imperial Master's Mansion.

Xu Yuanqing's face was solemn and full of worries, and she was not like that.

In addition to her position as the Human Emperor, her worries were also about Xiaoya herself.

Xiaoya is smart, and she must have guessed in her heart that she wants her to be the emperor. However, there is another matter, regarding her life experience.

Xiaoya called her mother-in-law every day and treated her as her biological mother. What would Xiaoya think if she knew that she was not her biological mother but just an adoptive mother.

Bai Qingyu didn't know, and he didn't even dare to think in that direction.

She was also afraid that Xiaoya would have a grudge because of this.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the door of our house.

In the yard, Xiaoya was still practicing in her old position, and everyone else was busy with their own affairs.

After coming back from Shiwanda Mountain, Xiaoya didn't change much except for her cultivation.

This child has matured enough, and she knows enough things. The changes are no longer like those in the past few years, when she suddenly looked like a different person.

"mother."

Seeing Bai Qingyu coming, Xiaoya got up from the futon and walked over with a smile.

The spiritual power of Shenhuang Residence is very abundant. Bai Qingyu spent a lot of money to build the spirit gathering array. Sitting in the center of the courtyard every day to practice is not much worse than some sects' secret realms.

Bai Qingyu hesitated to speak.

A year is really not a long time. If we don’t say it now, then when should we say it?

Xiaoya must be given time to react.

"Well, Xiaoya, I have something to talk to you about. Let's go to the backyard."

Bai Qingyu suddenly spoke, Xiaoya was a little confused but still followed.

The scenery in the backyard is similar to that in the front yard. Originally there was a large flower pond with rockeries, flowing water and lotus flowers. The scenery was very good. The scenery in the back was transformed by Bigan flowers into her Bigan flower sea. Recently, more red flowers were added to this sea. A touch of green, that is grown from Yingcao.

Sitting on the grass, Bai Qingyu patted the place next to him.

"Come on, Xiaoya, sit down."

Xiaoya blinked, sat next to Bai Qingyu, tilted her head and said: "What's wrong, mother, why do you feel so weird today? Where were you in the morning? Did you encounter something? If so, maybe I can give you some advice."

Xiaoya is 16 years old and is no longer a little loli but a girl. She has learned all the gentle and elegant temperament from Bai Qingyu, and has also selectively removed some of Bai Qingyu's bad qualities, such as being cold and cold all the time. His face felt like he was alienating others.

Outside, Bai Qingyu is often more ruthless than gentle. Whether killing people or monsters, she never hesitates and is ruthless.

"Xiaoya, it's like this. There is one thing that my mother has always wanted to tell you, but she has never found a chance. Now that you are older, I think it is time to tell you this matter... ."

After Bai Qingyu finished speaking, he was still organizing the words in his mind. Thinking about how to say this, Xiaoya spoke first.

"Do you want me to talk about making me the emperor, or is it about my life experience?"

Xiaoya had a heart-warming smile on her face. As she spoke, she looked up at the sky, "Actually, I know all about it. I have seen all the things my mother has done for me. I am not stupid. How could I do this?" I don’t even know, but my mother wanted me to be the emperor, so she has been cultivating my knowledge in this field since I was a child.”

"As for my life experience,...my mother is a demon, and I am a human being. How could I not know it?"

After saying these words, Bai Qingyu was startled.

She seems to have forgotten something.

Yes, Xiaoya is no longer the child who didn't understand anything. He knew that she was a demon and he was a human. He could figure out how the demon's child could be a human if he used his brain a little.

"This......"

I was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.

Xiaoya shook her head, "Mother, don't worry about this. In my opinion, the love of nurturing is far greater than the love of blood. In my heart, mother will always be my biological mother!"

This sentence is really simple. Xiaoya even hugged Bai Qingyu in turn, comforted her softly, and recalled a series of unforgettable things that happened to her when she was a child.

It wasn't until this moment that Bai Qingyu realized something.

It's not Xiaoya who has a knot in her heart, it's herself.

Taking Xiaoya to the backyard for a heart-to-heart talk untied not Xiaoya's knot but her Bai Qingyu's knot.

"I'm sorry Xiaoya."

Kneeling on the ground, Xiaoya rested on Bai Qingyu's legs. When she heard Bai Qingyu's voice, she opened her eyes.

"What's wrong girl?"

"It's like this. It's indeed my intention to let you become the Human Emperor. I went out this morning, not to Shiwanda Mountain, but to the capital."
