Chapter 181: Hearts and Souls
Song Hengjiang's punch is certainly what Jiang Wang wants to see.
But it also shattered his illusions.
Even if he was the benefactor who saved Song Qingzhi's life, after learning the secret of the underwater demon cave, Song Hengjiang would not be able to let him go.
For a while, it fell into a dead end.
After Song Hengjiang killed Zhuang Chengqian, he would also kill him by the way. And if Zhuang Chengqian can escape, he will also attack the inner mansion and break his divine soul origin.
He pretended to be fooled, relinquished control of his body, and hid in the depths of the inner mansion, precisely in order to retreat, but now it is likely that there is no chance to enter.
The three thousand rooms carved out in the depths of the First Inner Mansion were not his fortresses, but more like his tombs.
He needed to find a way to break the game before that moment came.
Survive in the dead and find the possibility in the impossible.
But...... What else can be done?
Zhuang Chengqian in his body has the advantage, but for the 'Zhuang Chengqian' in the present world, he also needs to use all means to save his life from Song Hengjiang, who is in the realm of God, with the cultivation of the inner realm.
So he shouted: "Big brother, I'm Cheng Qian!"
The fist stops, and the tide stops.
Song Hengjiang's fist hovered over the door of 'Zhuang Chengqian', and then slowly moved to the right, so that Song Hengjiang's cloudy eyes could meet his young eyes.
'Zhuang Chengqian' pulled the corners of his mouth, his expression was bitter, and his voice was heavy: "Big brother, it's me." ”
Song Hengjiang's expression was not too surprised.
In fact, he also had a vague premonition.
This abandoned underwater demon cave was discovered by him, his sister and Zhuang Chengqian back then!
It was one of their youthful adventures.
If there is anyone else in this world who knows about this place except him, he really can't think of anyone else.
But what he couldn't figure out was that Zhuang Chengqian's death was witnessed by him with his own eyes, and there was no falsehood. How could he reappear after nearly 200 years? Was he not dead back then, or did he have some magical power to come back from the dead?
"How do you prove it?" Song Hengjiang asked.
'Zhuang Chengqian' washed the cover of last year's youth, his eyes were full of vicissitudes, and he seemed to be immersed in memories: "This underwater demon cave was discovered together by us back then. The cave where Wanxi lived was arranged by me and her. My presence here is proof in itself. ”
"But as I recall, my brother-in-law is dead. Song Hengjiang said.
There were also imperceptible mood swings in his voice.
To say that there is no affection for Zhuang Chengqian, it is impossible. After all, they were brothers in life and death back then, and their love was deep and righteous. Zhuang Chengqian's last battle before his death was also with him.
It's just that after so much time, he has already accepted the fact that Zhuang Chengqian died in battle. Now that I suddenly heard that he was not dead, it was inevitably a little difficult to accept.
'Zhuang Chengqian' said astringently: "I am dead, but the Netherworld is the nest of white bones." How dare I die?"
His words seemed to be a little contradictory, but Song Hengjiang could fully understand them.
'Zhuang Chengqian' was indeed killed in battle back then, but the souls of the dead did not dare to enter the Netherworld, because the Netherworld was the lair of the White Bone Venerable God. In the Netherlands, he would not have any chance of resisting, and the White Bone God would surely inflict eternal torment on him.
So he died, but didn't dare to really die.
"Back then, I killed Gu Yi and caused the white bones to come to the world. In that battle, you were seriously injured, my body collapsed, and I paid such a heavy price to break the white bone god and expel him back to the netherworld......"
'Zhuang Chengqian' recounted: "I killed all my life, but I didn't dare to enter the netherworld, so I gave up half of my soul, created the illusion that my soul would collapse together, and then hid through the candle. If he didn't mean to deceive his eldest brother, he really didn't dare to let Bai Gu find out the truth. ”
For the details of the battle back then, which can be described so clearly, Zhuang Chengqian's identity no longer needs to be doubted.
By this time, Song Hengjiang had already withdrawn his fist, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a little deeper: "Since it's you, why did you lie to me before, saying that you are Jiang Wang?"
'Zhuang Chengqian' glanced at Song Wanxi behind him, and his eyes were full of sadness: "I was blind back then, so I married the White Bone Saintess." So much so that Wanxi was harmed by the White Bone Dao, and you were also hopeless because of the White Bone God...... Big brother, how can I have the face to recognize you?"
Suddenly meeting the old man, Song Hengjiang was obviously a little shaken, and he asked slowly: "Since you are stranded in the world, how can you watch Ming Qi die and let Gao Xian become what he is now?"
Zhuang Mingqi is the son of Zhuang Chengqian and Song Wanxi, and is Zhuang Gaoxian's biological father. He is benevolent by nature, and his governance is lenient, and he is known as Emperor Da Zhuangren.
After Zhuang Chengqian's accidental death, it was he who stabilized the government and the situation. Let Zhuang Guo get out of the strange circle of continuous battles and recuperate. Only then did he accumulate enough war potential for Zhuang Gaoxian to fight with the country in the future.
It is a pity that he died young.
Shi Zai was seriously ill and died. But the illness is unknown, and the doctor is unknown, but it is vague. The problem in the meantime can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
At that time, Song Hengjiang was still in retreat to stabilize the injuries left by the White Bone God. By the time he got out, it was too late. Zhuang Chengqian and Song Wanxi's only son has died. Fortunately, Zhuang Mingqi left an heir when he was alive, so that Zhuang Guo would not become extinct in three generations.
'Zhuang Chengqian' closed his eyes, obviously unable to bear to think about it, but still said: "I don't even dare to tell you, eldest brother, how dare you let others know that my soul is still there? I didn't know about Mingqi, and I couldn't participate in Gao Xian's growth. The world does not know me, and I am ignorant of the world. ”
"It was only later that the White Bone Dao was revived, and the Maple Forest City Lord Wei Qujian took out the dark candle from the sealed secret vault to lure the White Bone Dao sect members, and I was able to see the light of day again. I can't let the people of the White Bone Dao discover me, and I can't last long when I control the Candle alone. It's a dilemma. ”
Speaking of this, he looked down at the body he was occupying now: "Later, I found the white bone seed on this young man's body, so I borrowed him to transfer it and hid it in his Tongtian Palace. ”
"You've already taken him away?" Song Hengjiang asked coldly.
"It's not about giving up. ”
'Zhuang Chengqian' shook his head with a wry smile: "This is a long story. The heart of the white bones returning to the present world is immortal, and they want to create a conspiracy in the Fenglin City and destroy the city to alchemy. I vaguely felt some traces of the White Bone Dao's activities, but due to the strength of this young man, I couldn't know more, and I couldn't do anything. can only find a way to pass on his white bone escape method through the dark candle, secretly affecting his will, so that he can save Qingzhi before the upheaval. It's also the only thing I'm a brother can do for my eldest brother. ”
Zhuang Chengqian said with a nose and eyes, which did not seem to be a lie at all.
But Jiang Wang was very sure that he saved Song Qingzhi purely out of his own heart. Because he didn't go out of his way to save Song Qingzhi at that time, but happened to see it when he was saving An An. Saving Song Qingzhi was born with a kind nature, but it was only a convenient one.
At that time, when did Zhuang Chengqian exert what influence?
But at this time, he took credit for Song Hengjiang with this matter!
Looking at Song Hengjiang's moved expression, he obviously liked this set. He was convinced of how to take care of and protect his daughter as a brother in life and death.
Jiang Wang, who was cowering in the first inner mansion, could not expose Zhuang Chengqian.
But he was keenly aware that Zhuang Chengqian was not sincere to Song Hengjiang. They are not as close as brothers as recorded in the history books, and they treat each other with all sincerity. At least not on Zhuang Chengqian's side.
This gave him some fresh ideas that might influence the situation.
"As for the boy's body......"
'Zhuang Chengqian' is still telling lies seriously, completely changing Jiang Wang's story, but in this world, there is indeed no one who knows Jiang Wang's experience better than him.
"After leaving Zhuangguo, he was fascinated by the treasure during an expedition, and he did not listen to my advice and insisted on fighting. As a result, he was killed in the battle, and at that time I was not strong enough to interfere, so I could only watch him die and be abandoned in the wilderness. ”
"He gave me this body before the spirit dissipated. The only obsession is that I want to kill his teacher Dong A. I also could not tolerate such a traitor in power, so I agreed with him. ”
"Later, I practiced hard and trekked all the way, and there is no need to talk about the difficulties anymore......
'Zhuang Chengqian' sighed: "As far as the country of Qi, I have experienced a lot of stories, and I have slowly found some strength. Only then can you see where the light is. I have some plans for the rest of my life. ”
"When I came back to Zhuangguo this time, I wanted to see Wanxi's tomb, and secondly, I missed my homeland. Three to ...... It was to fulfill the boy's last wish. After several twists and turns, he finally killed Dong A, so that the soul of this young man could rest in peace. I was finally able to use this body and restart my life. ”
"When I was chased and killed by Du Ruhui, I didn't want to reveal my identity, so I hid here. If no one knows about this place, I can also remember it alone in Wanxi's former residence......"
His sad mood turned, and he became indignant and guilty: "I didn't expect that the descendants would forget the alliance of our brothers back then, and use the power to force the Shuifu. Big brother, I'm ...... I'm ashamed!"
The biggest loophole since Chen's identity is why he, as the Taizu of Zhuang Guo, wanted to kill Dong A, the deputy minister who was loyal to Zhuang Guo, so that Du Ruhui, the current minister of Zhuang Guo, was chased and killed.
But without waiting for Song Hengjiang to ask, 'Zhuang Chengqian' naturally filled this loophole.
Inheriting others and dissolving others' attachments is a thing that should be done.
If it is said that lying also has a realm, Zhuang Chengqian's level in this regard will definitely not be lower than his cultivation realm. At least he is also a real-life level lie master at the time.
When he disguised himself as Jiang Wang, it was a set of rhetoric, and after seeing that Jiang Wang's identity could not save his life, he revealed his original identity, which was a completely different set of rhetoric.
And fully integrated into his "new situation", at first glance it still sounds presentable, sincere and emotional.
You know, this is just a temporary play.
If it weren't for Jiang Wang or the 'young man' in his mouth, maybe he would have believed it!
