Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Chapter 785: Speculations about Xuanniao and the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan’s plan!

"But... only those who have studied the history of the Qin Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty in depth will understand..." Gao Yao's eyes became deep. He slowly sat back in his chair, his fingers unconsciously tracing a vague bird pattern on the armrest. "The connection between the Shang Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty is so profound, deliberately forgotten but actually exists!"

The bloodline of the Qin people can be traced back to Zhuanxu, one of the Five Emperors of Ancient China. Legend has it that when Nü Xiu, a descendant of Zhuanxu, was weaving, a black bird flew by and dropped an egg. Nü Xiu swallowed the egg, became pregnant, and gave birth to Daye, the recognized ancestor of the Qin people.

After Daye, the bloodline continued until Bo Yi (Da Fei), who assisted Dayu in controlling floods and made great contributions. Bo Yi was given the noble surname "Ying" by Emperor Shun and was given a black flag symbolizing glory. Although Dayu's tradition of abdication was broken by his son Qi, the history of the Ying clan began.

The Qin people inherited many skills and traditions from the Shang Dynasty, and the shadow of Shang civilization can be found in farming, handicrafts and weapon manufacturing. In the depths of the Qin court, on the ritual vessels and accessories that symbolize royal power, the totem of the black bird has never really disappeared. It is like a silent mark, engraved with the ancient legend that the Qin people originated from the black bird.

The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan chose the name "Xuanniao" precisely to take advantage of this deep-rooted first association. It is like a perfect camouflage, making all those who first heard of it subconsciously link this mysterious organization with the secret power of Qin Shihuang, or at least associate it with the more distant Shang Dynasty, thus perfectly concealing its true owner - the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan himself. The depth and precision of this layout forced Gao Yao to admit that his opponent was experienced and terrifying.

Combining these known information, Gao Yao can only draw one conclusion. The existence of Xuanniao was indeed created by the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan in the beginning. Its purpose was to set things right. He was worried about some unexpected changes.

From Cui Wenzi to Gao Jianli, and then to the continuous assassins, they were all created by Xuanniao. Judging from the situation of the Baijia, this matter was started by the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan. After establishing this organization, it gradually developed and expanded, secretly controlling everything to happen according to the established history.

The reason why no clues could be found in other places, but only some clues could be found in Xianyang, was because the core of Xuanniao should have been in Xianyang, and this had never changed. Before many things happened, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan had actually been near Xianyang.

With the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's ability, it should be easy for him to kill him at the beginning. Even when he first arrived in Xianyang, with the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's ability and means, he wanted to kill him, and he had absolutely no ability to resist. But the other party did not do it. At that time, Gao Yao had completely turned against Yi Xiaochuan, and even needed to rely on Li Si at that time to ensure that he was safe.

But the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan still did not eliminate him. It was not without opportunities later. When Cui Wenzi went to the southern border for the first time, although Gao Yao had a certain strength at that time, it was still constrained by Zhao Tuo, but the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan still did not make a move.

The candlelight stretched Gao Yao's figure and cast it on the cold floor tiles, just like his tangled and chaotic thoughts at the moment. Combined with what happened later, a clear outline gradually took shape in his mind - the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's initial response to the "changes in the southern border" was by no means negligent, and there must be a deeper and even forced reason behind it.

"There are only... two possibilities." Gao Yao's low voice sounded in the silence, with an almost cold analytical tone.

"First, he was powerless to intervene at that time!" This thought was very powerful. Although Gao Yao didn't know the specific reason, a bold guess was about to come out - the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang! Or, it was the strange star hidden deep in the underground palace of Mount Li! All the mysteries of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, his immortality, and his power beyond common sense seemed to be closely related to the fallen alien object.

Was he trapped by some force or state at a critical time point, tightly bound near the underground palace of Mount Li, or was he carrying out an important "operation" related to the stars that could not be interrupted? This "inability to escape" perfectly explains why he watched the changes in the southern border, Cui Wenzi's failure and even his death, but never showed up in person to save the situation.

"The second possibility... is that he is too arrogant and confident enough to think that Cui Wenzi alone is enough to control the overall situation?" Gao Yao frowned, then slowly shook his head, reducing the possibility of this speculation to the lowest level.

"No, it doesn't look like that... Judging from the reaction of the old man Cui Wenzi before he died, it's definitely not the case!" Cui Wenzi's face full of horror and unwillingness seemed to flash before his eyes again. How could a person who was treated as a discarded pawn, or who thought his mission was unimportant, go deep into the tiger's den in the southern border so persistently and almost madly, knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain, and take Yu Shu away at the risk of his life?

This can only mean two things: either the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan attached the highest level of importance to the matter of Yu Shu and ordered Cui Wenzi to complete it at all costs; or, Cui Wenzi was well aware of the consequences of mission failure - no matter which one it was, it all pointed to the same core: Yu Shu, or the results involving Yu Shu, which occupied an extremely critical position that could not be lost in the layout of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan at the time!

"So... after eliminating the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how bizarre, is the truth." Gao Yao's fingertips tapped heavily on the armrest, making a firm echo.

"I am more inclined to the first one! The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was either trapped in some kind of 'cage' and unable to move, or... he was concentrating on another important research project with a higher priority and also closely related to Tianxing!"

Suddenly, his mind was clear. The previous adventure in exploring the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the strange energy in the underground palace, the Tianxing core area guarded by numerous mechanisms, and the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's unusual attention to it... All the clues were pieced together at this moment, pointing to the depths of the dark underground palace!

"Tianxing...Tianxing!" Gao Yao's eyes gleamed with excitement and a chill mixed with excitement. "Strategically, the more the enemy defends and the more effort they put into it, the more likely it is that it will be their greatest weakness!"

The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's almost demonic ability to live forever, the terrifying recovery ability that can regenerate broken limbs... What is the source of these heaven-defying methods? The star! It must be the star with incredible power! The time travel opened by the tiger-shaped jade pendant, the secret of refining the elixir of immortality, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's existence across the long years... The source of all this is like a vine tightly wrapped around the meteorite from outer space!
