Kyoto, Liuhai Hutong.
It was summer, the crown of the walnut tree was tall and majestic, Shi Xuejin was sitting on a recliner under the walnut tree with a book in his hand.
He read very slowly. If he hadn't turned a page after dozens of minutes, I'm afraid others would think he was in a daze, not reading.
"Is that road really accessible?" Nie Ting asked casually.
"There is no answer, you can only know if you do it," Shi Xuejin smiled calmly.
"What if there is no answer," Nie Ting glanced at him.
"There is no such thing in the world that must have an answer," Shi Xuejin smiled.
This road is lonely. He regards this world as a huge exercise, and then slowly looks for parameters in the truth, and finally wants to find one of the possible answers to this exercise.
It may be wrong, or it may be right, but it doesn't matter.
"If the sages didn't take a different path, then how can we practice now?" Shi Xuejin didn't care.
"I'm going to Changbai Mountain again next week, so you should keep a close eye on this side," Nie Ting said, "The puppeteers act very strangely, and the information we get from the foundation may not be complete, or... even the foundation does not have complete information."
Speaking of this, even Shi Xuejin was a little confused: "I originally thought that they went to Asan to secretly control the practitioners there, but it seems that they did not do so. It seems that... they look down on practitioners of this level."
"What is the purpose of the puppeteers?" Nie Ting seemed to be asking Shi Xuejin, but also seemed to be asking himself.
According to the records of the foundation, these powerful puppeteers were born for the king of the exile land and swore to be loyal to death. The other party came from the exile land and claimed to welcome the return of the king. From the literal meaning, Nie Ting understood that these puppeteers were the pioneers of the king, and their king would return to the earth from the exile land.
After all, since the king is the king of the exile land, he should be in the exile land, but how did these puppeteers break through the barriers? Moreover, after the other party came to the earth, it seemed that they were not in a hurry to break the barriers. Instead, they always wanted to gather their old subordinates.
There were thick files on the stone table in front of Nie Ting. They were all given to Tianluodiwang by the Foundation. Other major organizations also had them. The contents were all things collected by the Foundation about the Land of Exile.
However, these things were not accurate. Some were confirmed by the Foundation, while others were clues collected based on known information.
Some of these clues were ancient legends, and some were folk histories, but they were not particularly reliable. Even Li Xianyi himself said that these were for reference only when he gave the information.
Those things seemed to have been erased from this world by the powerful, and Nie Ting seemed to understand the reason. The existence of that king seemed to be as powerful as the legendary demon that could devour the fear of others, so even the name of that demon became a taboo in time.
That was a king who had been demonized, as if he was in charge of the entire Land of Exile. Even the legendary Four Heavenly Emperors in the Land of Exile had to offer him fear, and now all humans who knew about it regarded him as an imaginary enemy.
But why didn't the puppeteer break the barrier? The other party came quietly on a stormy night 17 years ago, but was surrounded and killed by the Foundation, and finally fought his way out.
The Foundation has been looking for the other party's traces for 17 years, but the other party seemed to have completely evaporated from the face of the earth. Now it has reappeared, but its level has inexplicably risen to a higher level.
The Foundation has been concentrating on alert for 17 years, but the other party seemed to have no intention of doing anything and just disappeared, making the Foundation almost think that they had made a mistake...
"Why?" Nie Ting thought calmly.
He read the record of the stormy night 17 years ago word by word. That night they encountered 4 puppeteers, killed two, and the remaining two, and Li Xianyi also collapsed his foundation at that time.
Nie Ting suddenly saw a paragraph and frowned. This paragraph said that at that time, the puppeteers seemed very weak as if they had a serious illness, and during the battle, a puppeteer carried a huge box on his back.
In the end, the puppeteers fled separately. The puppeteer carrying the box was caught up and killed in Luocheng, but the box was nowhere to be found. This was one of the two puppeteers who were killed.
Nie Ting also wanted to know what was in the box and why those puppeteers were so weak. He judged in his heart that perhaps the strength of those puppeteers was A-level, but they didn't know why their strength declined!
All along, the foundation believed that the box might contain a magical object used to break the barrier, so they always wanted to find this thing, so Li Xianyi lived in Luocheng for 17 years.
It is precisely because the puppeteer lost the magical object to break the barrier that the barrier still exists until now 17 years later.
After Yun Yi's identity was exposed, the dragnet began to look for clues. Nie Ting actually found that Yun Yi had been to Luocheng as many as 8 times since last year in the past ten years, and seemed to be looking for something!
Nie Ting began to look at the records of every participant in the war, which were all recorded based on their oral statements. At this time, Nie Ting suddenly saw a very inconspicuous sentence: "The bloody battle that night almost created an illusion. I seemed to hear the cry of a baby in the rainy night."
Nie Ting suddenly turned to look at Shi Xuejin. Shi Xuejin looked puzzled. He touched his face: "Why are you looking at me?"
"We have always thought that the Puppet Masters came to break down the barriers, and their king is still in the Exiled Land, but have you ever thought that maybe the baby's cry was not the hallucination of the combatants, but a real existence, and that What's in the box is not some magical object used to break down barriers, but a real baby!" Nie Ting was stunned by the answer he imagined: "Could that baby be their king, or... Will the king’s bloodline survive?”
Shi Xuejin was also stunned: "But everyone else said they didn't hear the baby crying."
"Perhaps the baby has been sleeping and occasionally cries only to be heard by one person," Nie Ting said.
"But if it is really a baby, where is he now? Does he look the same as a human being?" Shi Xuejin said with a smile: "According to what you said, shouldn't this big devil have already started to destroy the earth?"
Nie Ting shook his head. He looked at the crown of the walnut tree above his head. The warm sunlight was shining through the gaps in the leaves: "I can only have doubts for the moment...wait, how old is Lu Shu this year? When was he sent to the orphanage?"
