"What?" I exclaimed, stunned by the news, "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

"I'm not talking nonsense, didn't you see the soul that the sect master sealed with the Inner Dan of the Eight Miscellaneous Gods?" Momiji's gaze looked at the crystal ball, "There are only two souls and five souls of the Divine Son, and there are one soul and two souls that are not in it. ”

"How is that possible?" It was so weird that I couldn't say a word. Turning his head to look at the crystal ball, those two clusters of light floating in the colorful auspicious clouds were really the souls of the Dark Flame? It's just that I thought that the soul was a chaotic mess, but I didn't expect that the three souls and seven spirits were separated, two souls and five souls? Those two light clusters are souls, and those colorful auspicious clouds, are they spirits? Is what Momiji said true? I don't want to believe it, and I don't think there's any reason not to believe that if the soul of the Dark Flame can be turned into an artifact by extracting it from the body, then it is not impossible to draw another soul to become Chengren, but, who did it? Duan Zhiyi once said that extracting the soul is the art of gods and men, is this the punishment of the Hades?

"It's not impossible, it's true." Momiji's gaze was withdrawn from the crystal ball, and he said lightly. I bit my lip and fell silent, I already understood their motives for the Wraith Spirit, but how could I stop them? After pondering for a long time, he changed the subject: "The Nine Kings are the descendants of the genius of the Mingshen family that occurs once in a thousand years?" ”

"You?" Momiji was slightly stunned and took a breath, "How do you know ......?"

What's so hard about that? If the Nine Kings simply had some political interests and cooperation with the Myojin family, how could the Myojin Sect Master let him get involved in the family's core secrets? Thinking of the words that the sect master said before leaving, let the Nine Kings prepare, what to prepare? How could such a secret and sacred resurrection ritual be attended by a foreigner? Unless he himself plays an important role in the ceremony. It's just that I don't understand, the royal family of which country and dynasty is extremely strict in the inspection of bloodlines, how can the Nine Kings have anything to do with the Myojin family? Is it fake?

"Didn't the Momiji girl call him the host?" I said lightly, "The host of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes?" ”

There were some noises outside the temple door, and Momiji panicked, and hurriedly packed up the food box, and then ran to the pillar to twist the mechanism, but was stopped by someone who came: "Momiji, it's me." ”

It's the Nine Kings. Hongye breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to the Nine Kings and lowered his eyebrows and said, "My lord! ”

The Nine Kings nodded, turned to look at me sitting on the ground, and said gently, "Lady Yun has suffered. ”

"Those who are about to die will suffer only one night." I said indifferently, "Lord Lao's attention. ”

The expression of the Nine Kings stiffened slightly, and I mocked slightly: "I didn't expect that the Nine Princes of the dignified Tiancao Kingdom turned out to be from the Hongyue Kingdom, and the accusations made by the concubine before became a joke, and it is natural for the host to be loyal to his country." ”

The corners of Jiuwang's lips twitched slightly, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. There was a trace of unbearability in Momiji's eyes: "Why should my sister be like this, adults didn't know ...... before"

"Momiji!" The Nine Kings interrupted her with a slight tremor in their tones. Momiji bit her lip and stopped talking. My heart moved, looking at the expression of the nine kings, I am afraid that there is another mystery in this matter, if I can put out the words, will it bring a turn for the better? In any case, you have to give it a try, and even if you only have the slightest opportunity, you can't miss it. I wonder if it is useful to carry out the agitation method? After a moment of thought, his tone couldn't help but be even more mocking: "Did I say something wrong?" Or the host himself doesn't know which country he should be, although he is a native of the Red Dynasty, he has been educated by the Tiancao Kingdom for so many years, eating the Yulu of the Tiancao Kingdom, and enjoying the dignity and glory brought to you by the Tiancao Kingdom, this has been a long time, but I am afraid that the host himself has forgotten his identity, and he can't tell whose courtier he is, and you are a native of the Tiancao Kingdom? Or are you a red countryman? ”

This discord may not be useful to the Nine Kings, it is just a stab at him, thinking back to his confused expression when he played chess with the Nine Kings before, and his complicated demeanor at the moment, I can also guess a little bit of his thoughts. The policeman on TV has been undercover in the underworld for a long time, and he often has psychological deviations, and he can't figure out whether his identity is a soldier or a thief, these nine kings are only afraid that they are also in such a confused stage, these contacts with him, he gives me the feeling that he is not a person who exterminates people's surnames, and he should also have his own ideals and persistence, and now he is afraid that he is also very contradictory, where should he go? If you are loyal to the heavens, you will turn your back on the homeland, and if you are loyal to the motherland, you will be sorry for the heavens.

"Am I from Tiancao or Hongyue?" Jiuwang muttered and repeated my question, his expression was stinging and dazed, and after a while, he looked at me in a daze, and said, "I don't know what country I should be, Qianyi will tell Madame a story, Madame may have an answer after listening." ”

I was just trying to trap him, and when I heard him say this, I breathed a sigh of relief and listened to him carefully. It turned out that more than 200 years ago, a talented ancestor of the Feng family traveled to the country of Hongyue, met a gentle and beautiful woman, they admired each other, and after a period of envy of mandarin ducks but not immortals, but also gave birth to a son. A few years later, the ancestor of the Feng family missed his hometown and wanted to take the woman back to China, but he didn't want the woman to go back with him, because her identity was unusual, she was the seventh generation host of the Mingshen family of the Red Said Kingdom, and she was responsible for the mission of resurrecting the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes for the rest of her life. The two broke up because of the gap in ideals, and the ancestor of the Feng family returned to his hometown with his son, and since then he has cut off all ties with the Red Kingdom.

The cold voice of the Nine Kings slowly echoed in the hall, easily bringing people to the sad love story of the year: "The ancestor only thought that this was just an unforgettable experience in his life, but he didn't know that this relationship planted cause and effect for the descendants of the Feng family. He and the woman's son, half of the body flowed with the special blood of the Ming God family of the Red Dynasty that had been sealed by the Eight Miscellaneous Gods, and although the divine power weakened with the dilution of the bloodline of the Feng family's descendants from generation to generation, it never disappeared. In this generation, there was actually a child of the Feng family who liberated the divine power of the Eight Miscellaneous Gods and became the eighth generation host of destiny. ”

"That person is the Ninth Master?" I listened attentively, I didn't expect that there was such a life experience behind the Nine Kings, it was not at all what I had guessed before, he was an undercover agent sent to the Tiancao Kingdom by the people of the Red Yue Kingdom, "The Myojin family knows that the host of the new generation is you, so they let Hongye contact you?" ”

"When Hongye knew the Ninth Master, he didn't know that he was the host of the Eight Miscellaneous Gods." Red Leaf suddenly spoke, glanced at the Nine Kings, and retorted, "Of course the adults themselves don't know, each generation of hosts must be liberated from the divine power of the Eight Great Gods before they can determine who it is, even the sect master can't imagine that the host of this generation will be born in the Tiancao Kingdom." ”

Oh? So is Momiji's admiration for the Nine Kings true? I raised my eyebrows in surprise: "Then when did you decide that the Ninth Master is the new host?" ”

The Nine Kings stopped speaking from the beginning of Momiji, knowing that Momiji would finish telling him what happened later. Hongye took a deep breath and said, "It was after the Feng family's army amassed troops in Jiangnan and received the emperor's holy decree to summon the ninth master back to Beijing. For the sake of the family's interests, the Feng family chose to sacrifice the Ninth Master, and in order to completely reassure the suspicious emperor, they actually wanted to kill the Ninth Master and conspired to kill the Ninth Master in the military camp. But he didn't want to be broken by the ninth master, the ninth master knew that the relatives of the mother clan were so ruthless to him, and under the grief and anger, he stimulated the divine power in the body, and the divine power of the eight gods when he awakened killed the people in the camp who plotted to kill the ninth master, and the ninth master then fled the barracks. At that moment, a vision occurred at the altar of Myojin Island, and it had a strong sense of the host's incarnation. The sect master was instructed by the oracle of the Eight Great Gods to know that the Nine Kings of the Heavenly Kingdom were the eighth generation of the Great God of the Myojin Family, so he sent a message to us, telling us to find the host and bring him back to the Red Kingdom. ”

I remember the rumor that the Nine Kings were man-eating monsters that had been spread by the Feng Family Army before, could it be that it was the time when the magic of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes awakened? Feng Qiwu and the others became the first victims under the magic power? I think I understand the mood of the Nine Kings, he has always regarded himself as a native of the Tiancao Kingdom, but he didn't expect that his body still has foreign blood flowing in his body, in terms of blood relationship, he is not a pure Tiancao country, which has a strong conflict with the education he has received for more than 20 years, his thoughts, and even his noble identity. He may not agree with the alien elements in his blood, after all, the Heavenly Empire is the recognized Heavenly Empire in this time and space, and the people of the country are proud of it, thinking that all the seas are barbarians. But now he is facing the problem of not being tolerated by the country of Tianyao, and he is embarrassed to go to a foreign country that he has always disagreed with to accept asylum.

"Mrs. Yun, what if you were Qianyi?" The Nine Kings threw his contradictions at me, interrupting my thoughts, and I looked up at him, and a strange feeling welled up in my heart, did he really need an answer? Is it really that confusing? After all, only he knows. I smiled faintly, accepted the mocking tone, and said seriously: "Can the concubine ask the ninth master a few questions?" ”

"Madame, please." The Nine Kings said politely.

"We don't talk about the general righteousness of the country, and we don't talk about the illusory things of the righteous path in the world." I said calmly, "I just want to ask the Ninth Master what do you have to pay for this host to resurrect the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes?" What do you get? Is what you give and what you get fair? ”

"Why does Madame ask that?" The Nine Kings were stunned for a moment and hesitated.

"Because I don't believe that the Eight Miscellaneous Snake chose you to help it come back to life, and it won't be without a little request." I said lightly, "The concubine is a businessman, and she knows that the relationship between people is driven and maintained by interests most of the time. I've heard a lot of legends about having to give your soul to make a deal with the devil. ”

The Ninth Master's body trembled slightly, and Hongye hurriedly defended: "The Eight Miscellaneous Gods are not devils, and they don't need the soul of the host. ”

I didn't look at him, I just looked at the Ninth Master and said, "I heard that the resurrection of the Eight Miscellaneous Great Snake requires the remnant soul of the Great Snake to enter the host's body in order to activate the resurrection spell and be reborn in its body. So what about after that? After rebirth, is the host still the host? Is it going to die? Or is it occupied by a large snake? Devouring the original soul? Lost in the spirit? "Even if he survives, what will he receive when he is no longer useful? Will it be even more unbearable than the Feng family for him? After all, the Japanese are cunning and fickle, and the world knows it.

Nine Kings' eyes flashed, and their eyes gradually became deeper. Momiji was dumbfounded, opened his mouth to refute, but didn't know what to say, after all, the Eight Miscellaneous Snake had not been resurrected, they only knew that they could resurrect the Snake in this way, and they never thought about what the host would become after resurrecting the Snake. The Nine Kings looked at me steadily, and those confusions and pains gradually disappeared from their eyes, and gradually returned to clarity, and said paradoxically: "The resurrection of the Eight Great Gods is the reason for my existence, and it is also my irresistible fate. ”

"Destiny can be changed through one's own efforts." I smiled, "It's man-made." ”

The Nine Kings looked at me deeply, then turned around and walked out: "Red Leaves, hang her back, don't let the sect master know that we have been here." ”

I let the red leaves hang me up again like before, and I was worried, I planted this seed of doubt in his heart, is it enough? Don't talk about the great principles of the family and the country, only talk about his own vital interests, the ants are still stealing, he will also worry about what will become of the big snake after he is resurrected in his body, right? He has lived in this world for decades, is he really willing to let his soul disappear? Lend your body to a monster? If I can't impress him, there's really nothing tomorrow to stop that ritual. I turned around with difficulty, looked at Ansheng and the crystal ball on the altar, and prayed in my heart: Dark Flame, this card I bet on the Nine Kings, I hope God will bless me to win!
