Chapter 22: The Mystery of Life
"Could it be that I had a deep relationship with you in my previous life?" No one is not interested in their past and present lives, and Yin Tiancheng is certainly no exception. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes, I know you." Yin Tiancheng only finished speaking after hearing Lu Wu's words, and then changed his words and said, "No, to be precise, I have seen you." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Yin Tiancheng felt that his words seemed to be a bit inconsistent.
Lu Wu said: "I was ordered by the emperor to guard the heavenly gate of Kunlun Divine Mountain, and all guests who came to visit my master had to pass through my pass, so I naturally met you." However, we only have this side of the story. ”
"So we don't know each other?"
"Yes, not very familiar. Although there are many gods who come to Kunlun every day, you still leave a deep impression on me. ”
"Why?"
"You're special, different from them. You always look worried, but you feel very arrogant to me. ”
"Am I proud?" Yin Tiancheng felt that he was approachable in this life, how could he be arrogant in his previous life?
"When others come to Kunlun, they are very polite when they see me. And when you went to Kunlun and I asked you to report your name, you contemptuously said to me: 'Tell your master, just say that the old people of Shenzhou are visiting', and you completely ignored me, which is really rude. If it weren't for the master's repeated explanations, I would have wanted to beat you up. ”
"In this way, I was also an immortal in my last life, and my status is not low?" Yin Tiancheng couldn't think of any other reason why he could be so arrogant.
"You're not an immortal, you used to be just a mortal."
Yin Tiancheng cross-examined him: "It is said that Kunlun is the holy mountain of the divine realm, the abode of the gods, and the nine gates of the mountain are guarded by enlightened divine beasts. It can be seen that the people who can go to Kunlun are by no means idle, if I am a mortal, how can I get here? If you don't bring me here today, I'm afraid I won't know for the rest of my life that there really is a Kunlun Sacred Mountain in the world. ”
"It's a good difference between immortals and mortals." Lu Wu smiled and said, "The immortals all come in the clouds, only you climb up like a dog." ”
Yin Tiancheng's face turned red after hearing this, this is indeed something that sounds a little embarrassing. He began to vaguely feel that his former self was by no means an ordinary person, and there must have been many legendary stories.
Seeing Lu Wu pick up the paintings and hang them back on the wall, Yin Tiancheng suddenly thought of a legendary person, and his heart couldn't help beating. Because he knew who he was, and this person, he had always admired it, but he never thought that this person would be his previous life.
"I know who I was in my previous life!" He said excitedly pulling Lu Wu.
"Your previous life is the same as your present life, your name is Yin Tiancheng, and everyone knows it after reading the painting."
"No, I was a big hero in my previous life, and he was Hou Yi who shot arrows for nine days."
"What, you said you were Hou Yi?" Lu Wu laughed so much that tears almost flowed out, and he asked Yin Tiancheng: "Why do you say that you are Hou Yi?" ”
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Huainanzi" both say that Kunlun is empty, eight hundred miles square, and ten thousand miles high. It is in the rock of the eight corners, when the red water is in the water, and the non-Renyi can not go to the rock of the gang. According to this statement, the only mortal who can go to Kunlun is Hou Yi. And it is recorded in many books that Hou Yi once kissed Kunlun in order to ask for the elixir of life for his wife Chang'e. If I wasn't Hou Yi, who would it be? Yin Tiancheng replied conceitedly.
"This is just wishful thinking on your part, because Hou Yi himself is the god of war in the heavenly realm, not a mortal."
Yin Tian was speechless when he said a word, but he didn't give up, and was about to ask something more, when he saw Lu Wu fall to the ground and turn into a flying tiger and said to him: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, if Your Majesty finds out that I took mortals up the mountain privately, I won't be able to eat and walk around." Come on, I'll take you back. After saying that, he didn't care if he wanted it or not, so he flew towards the way home with him.
After sending Yin Tiancheng home, Lu Wu said goodbye and left. Yin Tiancheng pushed open the door alone, and saw that the strange candle was burning automatically again, and Guoguo was sleeping soundly on the side. Yin Tiancheng silently closed the door, sat in front of the candlelight, took off the pendant from his neck, and looked at the object tied to the pendant rope in a daze.
This is a round bar made of an unknown material that is more than an inch long, not gold or wood, and the words engraved on it are exactly the same as the name Yin Tiancheng saw in the Baguio Palace painting, and it is also Yin Tiancheng's three gilded fonts.
Yin Tiancheng clearly remembered that Governor Lin had told him that his father-in-law found himself lying unconscious in the wilderness with serious injuries. If Mrs. Lin hadn't boiled a few bowls of ginseng soup and asked the doctor to treat him, I am afraid that she would have returned to the underworld long ago. But what surprised Yin Tiancheng was that he didn't remember the past at all when he woke up, and there was nothing else on his body, only this pendant. This is also what Yin Tiancheng still can't figure out, what kind of major changes did he experience back then, and he would become completely memorable, and who are his own parents? In the past few years, he has basically traveled all over the country, but he has never gotten any clues related to his life experience, and even before he became famous, let alone martial arts, even ordinary people don't know him, they all think that he is the biological son of Lin Governor's Mansion. Of course, Yin Tiancheng is also very grateful to the Lin Governor's family for saving his life and raising him, and he wanted to follow his father-in-law's surname Lin, but when Lin Governor's Mansion saw the words engraved on the pendant, he guessed that it was his real name, so he did not let him change his surname after adopting him as his adopted son, but still asked him to call him Yin Tiancheng.
His life experience is confusing, and he hasn't been able to figure it out until now, and Lu Wu actually took him to pursue the memories of his previous life today, at this moment, Yin Tiancheng's heart seems to have set off countless waves, and he can't be calm. But for his previous life, Lu Wu's fragmented narration also made him feel confused, Yin Tiancheng looked at the pendant and asked himself: Who am I?
In this silent night, Yin Tiancheng is not the only one who can't sleep peacefully. In a deep wood, a person suddenly appeared in the damp ground, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly in the bleak moonlight, and he could only vaguely recognize him as a Taoist priest wearing a thick cotton robe of green cloth. He looked around vigilantly, and made sure that there was no one else in the woods except him, so he squatted down, and groped regularly with his hands on a few strange stones in front of him, and after a while, there was a soft sound, and an iron door opened widely, and several strange stones were nowhere to be seen, and a dazzling red light was revealed inside, and the Taoist priest raised his feet and walked in.
He walked a distance of more than ten zhang, he saw a stone screen, bypassing the stone screen, the front suddenly opened up, and what came into view was a huge cave, and there was a white marble statue of five zhang high standing on the right side of the entrance of the cave. Its image is the same as that of Yin Tiancheng in the illusion created by the second prince to see many stone statues of the emperor and queen, the stone statues are old, crawling with moss, and the upper and lower parts of the body are covered with cracks. These cracks are also the same as those emperors and queens that Yin Tiancheng has seen, those strange cracks are not naturally eroded, but more like they have been scratched by some unknown beast with its sharp claws.
Every time the Taoist priest passed by this statue of the emperor and queen, he unconsciously felt a chill down his spine, and always felt that the stone statue had a deep and solemn gaze, as if he wanted to see through his heart.
The scene in the cave in front of the stone statue is even more bizarre, there is a vacant space less than three zhang square in the center, there is a jade dragon chair in the open space, the chair surface is oozing with cyan dark lines, behind the dragon chair is a translucent crystal coffin, and there is a seemingly inhuman corpse lying in the coffin.
The clearing is surrounded by a deep pool of hot lava that flows not of blue water, but of hot lava, and a path winds through the lava to the dragon's chair in the center.
The Taoist priest followed the path to the dragon chair and knelt down, as if waiting for someone. After about half a pillar of incense, the dragon chair shook violently, and a beam of green light rose from the chair and gradually expanded to the entire chair. The light became more and more substantial, and finally formed an old man with white hair and brocade clothes sitting on a chair.
"Master, you're here." When the Taoist priest saw him, his head lowered.
"Lone actually capsized in the gutter today!" The old man squinted at the Taoist priest kneeling at his feet and said hatefully. As he spoke, his body had been completely materialized, and it turned out that he was the second prince who fought with Lu Wu.
"Master, you haven't recovered your true body yet, otherwise even a hundred Lu Wu wouldn't be your opponent."
"Yes, I think that a small character like Lu Wu didn't look down on him back then, but now it is the tiger who falls into Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, so that he can be a villain." The second emperor asked him: "Has Zheng Zhihao been settled?" ”
"I've let him live in your shelter, and no one has searched there for the time being."
"Ordinary people don't dare to enter my mansion, let him rest in peace for a few days for the time being, and then ask him to return to his original appearance to do things."
"The master is very instructive. It's just ......" The Taoist priest peeked at him and said, "Yin Tiancheng has already sensed that there is something wrong with the mission, and the little one is afraid that he will see through us if he touches the vine." ”
"Haha, is the situation really as serious as you say?" The second emperor smiled: "Lonely look at you is playing your own little abacus." ”
"The master is clear, but ......"
The Second Emperor interrupted him, "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the mission, I have my own arrangements." As long as my great cause can be accomplished, your wish will naturally come true. ”
The Taoist priest whispered, "The little one understands. ”
The second emperor saw that he was unwilling, and his tone became stern, "If you mess up the matter of being alone because of your own selfish interests, you know the consequences." ”
"The little one is willing to go to the soup for his master, and he will never give up."
"It's good to understand! Get up. The Taoist priest stood up and sat aside, and the lava in the pool reflected his gloomy face, which was as strikingly similar to the second emperor as twins. It's just that he is only a middle-aged man, and the second emperor has to have white hair.
The second emperor asked, "How did I do the things I told you?" ”
"I'm hurrying to find the seventeenth person who meets the criteria, but I haven't found it yet."
"Do it as soon as possible, pay attention to hiding your identity, and don't let Yin Tiancheng smell anything wrong."
"Yes!" The Taoist priest said: "Just let the little one solve Yin Tiancheng, lest he get in the way and spoil our big things." ”
"Can you do it?" The second emperor said: "Yin Tiancheng is not fearful, the key is Lu Wu, if you want to kill Yin Tiancheng, you must pass the Lu Wu level." Although Lu Wu's mana is low, he is a god after all, and you have not yet achieved the right result, so you are not his opponent. ”
The Taoist priest boldly asked again: "Master, can't you easily kill Lu Wu by arranging a few subordinates, why do you want to let him go?" ”
"Although Lu Wu is just a small mountain god, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and what I am worried about is the force behind him that supports him. Lu Wu has a wide range of connections, not only with the help of the Kunlun gods, but also with the five god kings of Beishui and Yujiang. I don't want to offend the two god kings just because of one Lu Wu at the moment. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and it is not yet time to kill him. The second emperor paused, and then said to him: "Lone is going to rest, you can retreat first." ”
"The little one is leaving." The Taoist priest retreated, and he didn't dare to stand up until he reached the entrance of the cave. He took a few quick steps forward, looked back behind him, and until he was sure that the second prince could no longer see him, he spat on the ground fiercely, and scolded softly: "You are an old immortal, if it weren't for me, you would still be a dead corpse!" ”;
