Chapter 396: Seeing is not believing

"As soon as she saw me, she was terrified. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters-โ–ณยข, I still remember her surprised expression, she was so pure, so cute.} Dugu Chong is still intoxicated with his own memories.

"Poof", but Murong Hong laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Dugu Chong frowned.

"People are scared like that by you, will they be pure and lovely? You, this is typical love at first sight, do you think anything is good? Please, brother, you're too romantic, aren't you? Murong Hong shook his head.

"Maybe. I was so nervous that my heart was pounding, but when she saw me, she turned and ran deeper into the garden. โ€

"Oh? She's going to run as soon as she sees you? Murong Hong frowned, "Did you scare her?" Not really, right? You are such a handsome guy, not only should she not run, but should catch up? โ€

"yes, I don't know why she's running, but she's running. But I quickly caught up and blocked her way. โ€

"Awesome, you're so brave chasing girls." Murong Hong smiled, "Then she was captured by you?" โ€

"No, she turned around and ran in the other direction again, but this time, I couldn't catch up with her."

"Oh? You let her run away? No way? Murong Hong frowned, held his chin, and said, "Why can't you catch up with a girl?" โ€

"Because, because she disappeared all of a sudden, right under my nose."

"What, suddenly gone?" Murong Hong was stunned for a moment, "You can't be mistaken, right?" โ€

"I thought I was mistaken, it was very dark, and I wondered if she had gotten into somewhere, like in the grass, under a tree, somewhere I couldn't see. However, I searched there for a long time, but I still couldn't find her. โ€

"Strange, how could she suddenly disappear?" Murong Hong's brows tightened.

Suddenly gone? Strange, why did this woman, like the Bardo King, suddenly evaporate from the air?

"I ask you, where was your brother then?" Murong Hong suddenly thought of a key question.

"My brother? He's, he's in the capital. When my father and I came out, there must be someone in the capital to guard it, and my brother guarded the capital with his master, the minister of state at that time? Dugu Chong was stunned, "Why are you asking this?" I don't want to hear about this bastard again. โ€

"Are you sure your brother is really ugly?" Murong Hong threw out another question.

"Of course, I've seen it with my own eyes, right?"

"Really?" Murong Hong shook his head, "Seeing may not be believing, maybe, what you see is just an illusion?" โ€

"Illusion? You, you're saying his face is fake? Dugu was taken aback, "How is this possible, I obviously saw that he was an ugly monster, and besides, he still secretly took off his mask and was seen by me." I'm sure, I'm right, it's true! โ€

"You're right? So, it's me and Lin Guifei who are wrong? โ€

"What did you and Concubine Lin see?" Dugu Chong's eyes widened.

"Well." Murong Hong hesitated a little, but swallowed the words when they came to his mouth, "No, we didn't see anything." โ€

"His mask is never taken off, even when it comes to his own concubines." Dugu said, "This guy is so ugly, how dare he let others see his true face?" If he weren't for the king, I'm afraid that even a village woman would not marry him based on his appearance. Who wants to see such an ugly face? โ€

Dugu Chong's words were clearly full of incomparable contempt and sarcasm for his brother.

"Are you a member of the Physiognomy Club?" Murong Hong frowned, "Looking at people, you can't just look at the appearance, but also the heart. โ€

"Hmph, his heart isn't very good." Dugu said, "Just like his person, ugly appearance, ugly heart!" โ€

Murong Hong didn't want to say more, he knew very well: he couldn't change this royal brother's prejudice against his royal brother, once this prejudice was formed, it would be deep-rooted. What's more, this Dugu prince is still a paranoid who only looks at the appearance and not the inside.

However, there was another question that Murong Hong was always puzzled about.

Will the Bardo King have two faces? How is this possible?

If the ugly face of the Bardo King that Dugu Chong saw was real, then the beautiful Bardo King that he and Lin Guifei saw that looked like Murong Xue was fake? Is he impersonating? In fact, he is not the original Bardo King Dugusheng at all?

In other words, Dugu Sheng, the ugly monster king has indeed been killed, and the person who killed him is naturally the fake bardo king, but who is this guy?

The imposter who looked like Murong Xue was just like the mysterious woman Dugu Chong saw in the garden of the palace, this could not be a coincidence. Dugu Chong said that he met the woman in the palace, so this woman must have some kind of connection with the royal family. Perhaps, the impostor who killed the king of the bardo and seized his throne was the woman?

The current king of the bardo, will he be a woman?

Impossible, if he is a woman, how can he still select beautiful women to enter the palace? Moreover, when Lin Guifei was chatting with the adulterer wizard, she also said that the bed kung fu of finding a bardo king is not as good as that of a sorcerer, which means that this bardo king is indeed a fake man.

But if this fake bardo king is a man, then the woman in white that Dugu Chong saw in the palace is not a woman?

Ah, I understand, the woman in white that Dugu Chong saw was actually a man dressed as a woman, that is, the impostor who is now stealing the throne of the Bardo King?

What made Murong Hong firm in this reasoning the most was that the fake Zhongyin King also suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes, and the woman in white also played this trick of suddenly evaporating from the world, there is no doubt that this is the same person, a person with some kind of superpower, maybe stealth, maybe time and space transmission technique.

Murong Hong already knew it in his heart, but he didn't dare to tell Dugu Chong about this speculation.

Just imagine, if Dugu Chong knew that the fake Zhongyin King, the guy who wanted to kill himself, turned out to be the goddess he had been thinking about for fifty years, how would he feel?

The goddess turned into an enemy? The sweetheart has become a usurper posing as his brother? This, this is so cruel!

No, I can't tell him about this! Let's let him have a little illusory thought in his heart.

But who was that impostor, and why was he able to come to the palace and get close to the Bardo King and kill him, while he himself was able to master the black wand without being suspected?

"By the way, do you say that the black wand can be mastered by anyone, as long as this person learns the spell to control the black wand, it's fine?" Murong Hong asked another question.

"Yes." Dugu Chong nodded, "This black wand was originally not a treasure of our Dugu family, but of the Yaksha clan, originally, this spell was only known to my father, and later he passed it on to my brother." โ€

"Then you don't know the spell yourself?"

"Well, my father only passed on the throne to the one he wanted to pass on, and this black wand is the symbol of the Bardo King."

"You said your brother's spell might be heard, but who could that person be?" Murong Hong continued to ask.

"I don't know." Dugu Chong shook his head, "Maybe it's someone next to him, a palace maid or a eunuch, or a princess, or a very close minister." โ€

"Really?" Murong Hong nodded, "It's very possible, but your brother won't have many opportunities to recite the spell." โ€

"Probably none." Dugu said, "My brother can't use a black wand, because this black wand is too powerful, and once it is used, it will be terrible." โ€

"Oh? Isn't this black wand just for hitting people? Murong Hong was stunned for a moment, "It's okay to pick it up and wave it, why do you still want to recite the spell?" โ€

"Of course you wouldn't know that if this black wand were just a weapon, it would be no different from a crutch." Dugu Cong smiled, "You can't fight someone with a cane, if this black wand is used as a weapon, it won't have the upper hand at all." โ€

"That's just as well."

"The power of the Black Wand, when it is activated by a spell, can burst out with endless power and defeat opponents." Dugu said, "The people of the Yaksha clan want you to bring the black wand over, in fact, they want to take advantage of your weakness of knowing nothing about the black wand and trick this black wand into their hands. It doesn't work for you to hold a black wand because you can't cast spells, and the Yakshas, although they know the spells, don't have a black wand in their hands. They asked you to come with a black wand to take it back. โ€

"Ah, I'm so stupid!" Murong Hong patted his head, "So, I borrowed this black wand from your brother, and I don't have any eggs?" โ€

"Hmm." Dugu Chong nodded, "Unless you know the spell that uses a black wand." โ€

"But your brother won't tell me the spell."

"Of course not, I won't tell you the spell if I change it, once you learn the spell, you can become the master of this netherworld." Dugu Chong nodded, "So, you can only ask that ugly monster to go over in person, he can recite a spell, use the power of this black wand, defeat the people of the Yaksha clan, and help you pass through the ghost gate." However, he will never help you, because he doesn't want to offend the Yakshas, and that won't do him any good. โ€

"I see." Murong Hong nodded, "But if that guy is not your brother, your brother has been killed, and you only saw him holding a black wand, and you haven't seen him launch a spell, how can you be sure that he is your brother?" โ€

"Of course I can't be sure, and that's what puzzles me the most." Dugu Chong said, "That's why I want to rebel against him even more, and I want to force him to use his black wand." If he can't, he's an impostor. Hmph, when the time comes, I can tell all the subjects of the Netherworld, look, this guy is an impostor, he can't even use a black wand. โ€

"Hahaha! Good idea. Murong Hong nodded, "It seems that judging whether he is really the King of the Bardo or not depends on this method." โ€

"But I don't care if he's my brother right now." Dugu Chong said coldly, "Even if he is my brother, even if he can really open this black wand, I will not be at odds with him!" โ€

"Hey!" Murong Hong sighed, he knew that he couldn't change this man's stubborn thoughts.

"By the way, did you see the woman in white later?" Murong Hong asked again.

"See." Dugu Chong nodded.

"Oh? When did you see it? โ€

"Just the year after I met her, I met her, and I was in the capital."

"Huh? She's also in the capital? โ€

"Yes, in an alley, to be exact."

"In the alley?" Murong Hong was stunned
