Chapter 492: A New Self
New clothes, new boots, new body, Sun Changkong stood next to the quiet lake, looking at his new self in the water. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info recalled the previous scenes, and he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, life is like a dream, and it really makes sense.
"It seems that you have almost recovered! In just half a day, you have reached such a degree of harmony with this brand-new body, I'm afraid you won't have such an earth-shattering ability to change to a second one!"
Sun Changkong smiled and glanced back at the old man. For some reason, he felt as if he had seen this old man somewhere, but it was only because of the lack of part of his memory that he couldn't remember the identity of the other party for a while. Out of politeness, he first saluted respectfully, and then said to the life-saving benefactor: "The grace of the predecessors to recreate is unforgettable." ”
The old man walked in front of Sun Changkong little by little with not very agile steps, and then stretched out his palm and patted Sun Changkong's shoulder lightly a few times, and said gently: "Hehe, don't say these words." After all, you will have that miserable end, and it has nothing to do with me, an old fool. I underestimated the power of that thing in the first place, which is why you went astray and almost made a big mistake. Now, although your body has been deprived, your pure soul has been preserved, which is also a great blessing in your misfortune. As compensation, there is only so much I can do, and as for what I want to do in the future, it depends on your own creation. ”
Sun Changkong paused for a moment, and then said, "By the way, after staying here for so long, I don't know where I am. If I remember correctly, the payroll meeting should have begun!"
The old man said, "Hey, I advise you not to go. ”
Sun Changkong was puzzled: "Changkong doesn't know what the reason is, please ask your seniors for advice." ”
The old man said: "Because the Emperor who took your body has already reached the Cangbei Immortal Garden one step ahead of you." Now he is Sun Changkong. Unless it is someone extremely close, it is impossible to find out his true identity. ”
Sun Changkong was stunned for a moment, and then a powerful resentment from the bottom of his heart suddenly launched, and he couldn't help but punch the air fiercely. Who knows, that seemingly ordinary punch actually contained unimaginable huge energy, and the lightning-fast punch turned into an indestructible wave of qi, directly submerging into the water. A huge wave two or three feet high suddenly jumped from the mirror-like water, almost knocking the trees on the opposite side to the ground.
"This ...... What's going on?"
Sun Changkong handed the lotus root incarnation arm, which had not yet fully evolved into a human body, to him, and then carefully observed it. I saw that on the surface of the skin, there were countless tiny meridians running continuously, and it was their existence that made the current Sun Changkong have several times more power than before. It's just that this simple accumulation of strength is also a huge burden on the body itself. Sun Changkong, who had just made a punch, was already a little prostrated at this moment, only to see that his forehead was sweating, his hands were trembling, and even the soles of his feet on the ground were a little powerless, and he was about to fall to the ground.
Seeing this, the old man stretched out his hand to support Sun's back, and then said: "You'd better not move now, if it weren't for me to protect your soul with my true qi, maybe you would have been out of your body now." ”
Sun Changkong smiled reluctantly and said with a look of shame: "Senior, let you bother more." ”
The old man smiled lightly: "It's okay, in fact, I didn't expect that you who got the lotus root incarnation would have such earth-shattering power." Perhaps, this is the destiny of heaven! And I am just a passer-by arranged by his old man to be by your side. ”
Sun Changkong's eyes were full of gratitude, and he continued: "I've been with you for so long, and I don't know the name of my predecessor. ”
The old man stood up, walked silently to the lake, turned his back to Sun Changkong and said, "Forget it, since it's already in the past, what else do you want to mention it." It doesn't matter who I am, it's important to never forget who you are. ”
Sun Changkong said unwillingly: "However, the predecessors are like reborn parents to Changkong, how can they not even know your identity, how can they repay your kindness in the future?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "I don't need you to hold grace, I just hope that you can always keep your good thoughts and don't fall into the quagmire again." Life is a long life, and there are countless calamities and temptations that everyone has to go through, and it is really too difficult to maintain a pure heart after that. I can't help you once, but I may not be able to help you a second time. If you don't want to be a sinner, remember what I said. ”
"Changkong knows, seniors rest assured. ”
Although Sun Changkong still had doubts in his heart, he didn't want to think about it anymore when he saw this mysterious old man, and he didn't want to anger the other party, so he had to swallow back the words that came to his lips. In this way, the two of them returned to the forest hut they had done before. It was dinner time, the old man got a table of good food and wine out of nowhere, and the two men, one old and one young, drank more than ten glasses in one go, probably because of the initial recovery from a serious illness, now Sun Changkong is already slightly drunk, and there are some signs of a big tongue when he speaks, but his mind is still quite clear. Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, Sun Changkong pretended to be bold and said:
"Senior, who are you sacred, and how did you take my soul back from Emperor Sha?"
The old man was originally picking up vegetables, but when he heard Sun Changkong's words, subconsciously, he couldn't help but shrink his hand back, and the dishes fell to the ground.
"There are some things you still don't want to know!"
For some reason, the old man who was originally hospitable suddenly became cold, which made Sun Changkong, who was sitting on the side, immediately feel a terrifying chill. He swallowed the food in his mouth before he said, "Before...... Senior, just tell me!"
The old man looked at each other for a long time, and then finally nodded and sighed: "That's right, after all, it's your business, and you have the right to know the truth." Actually, you are not Sun Changkong. ”
Sun Changkong was suddenly shocked, and then said with a smile: "Haha, senior, you are really humorous, I have confused you." ”
The old man said indifferently: "I said, this is the truth. I didn't save you from Emperor Sha's hands, you are just a consciousness of Sun Changkong. To be exact, an obsession. ”
Listening to the old man's explanation, Sun Changkong's mouth couldn't help but open slightly, showing a demented look: "You say, I am just a consciousness of my own? How is this possible, how can I become an independent individual with only one consciousness?"
The old man said calmly: "It may not work for someone else, but if I make a move, it will be possible." ”
At this time, the old man had already stood up from his seat, slowly walked to the side of the incense burner, stretched out his hand to pick it up, and returned to Sun Changkong's side: "People living in the world, just like this incense burner, will exude a consciousness similar to the fragrance around them. And you are a wisp of residual thought that I captured from the Cangbei Immortal Garden. It is for this reason that your memory will be intermittent, and there will be many gaps that cannot be filled. But fortunately, this wisp of thought is quite powerful, and even after so many days, it shows no signs of dissipating. If it weren't for it, the lotus root incarnation would not have succeeded at all. ”、
Sun Changkong slowly raised his hands from under the table, he looked at the real self in front of him, but there was a storm in his heart, he couldn't believe that such a real self was just a puppet-like puppet.
Seeing the loss in Sun Changkong's eyes, the old man continued: "Don't be too desperate, after all, your soul has not disappeared. ”
Sun Changkong said: "What, shouldn't my soul have been devoured or destroyed by Emperor Sha?"
The old man shook his head and said, "Actually, Emperor Sha and you are in a very similar situation now, because he is not a complete soul now, and he is not even a soul. He alone cannot live in this world. Not only does he need his body to hold his consciousness, but he also needs a healthy soul to support his consciousness. ”
Sun Changkong couldn't help but say: "So, my soul has also been invaded by him?"
The old man nodded, and then said, "That's pretty much what it means." So as long as he is still in your body for a day, then your soul will not disappear, and you will have the hope of returning to your body. ”
Sun Changkong swallowed his saliva and said excitedly, "Really?"
The old man said, "I have no reason to deceive you, otherwise I wouldn't have told you these things." ”
Sun Changkong muttered a few words with a crazy face, and then suddenly said, "I...... What am I waiting for, I'm going to take back my body and soul. I'm going to identify that imposter myself!"
As he spoke, Sun Changkong was about to leave. At this time, the old man grabbed the other party's wrist and wanted to stop the other party. Who would have thought that Kong Changkong's strength was extremely strong, and the old man was also deeply hidden, and his strength was also shocking, and under the competition between the two sides at the same time, the arm turned by the lotus root was overwhelmed, and it was divided into two on the spot, and the water-like juice immediately sprayed out from the fracture and splashed on the spot.
"Oops!"
Faced with this unexpected situation, the old man jumped up on the spot. At this moment, I saw a golden light appear in his hands. One grabbed Sun Changkong's body, and the other hand had slammed the broken arm in his palm back to its original position, and the golden light flashed, only to see that the arm that was originally divided into two had been fused into one, and there was only a faint trace left on the surface, which could still be faintly visible, and then needle any discomfort.
Sun Changkong was stunned, his teeth trembled, and he said, "What happened just now?"
The old man took a deep breath, the snow whiteness on his face faded a little, and then said: "Although this lotus root incarnation has unlimited potential, it is a pity that the resilience needs to be strengthened. In addition, the inherent defects of lotus root are not long-lasting, so ......"
"So what?"
"So this lotus root incarnation of yours only has a week to live. ”
At this moment, Sun Changkong could no longer speak.
