Chapter 696: People's Heart

Uncle Xiang, when you first met Lord Yichang, was he really forty years old? The young man with the broken wrist asked in disbelief.

This situation is too unbelievable, the first time Uncle Xiang went to the Yulun Void Realm, it was 57 years ago, if Yichang was forty years old at that time, then decades have passed, and today's Yichang should be at least nearly 100 years old.

But when a few people arrived at the Yulun Realm, they had seen Yichang with their own eyes, and now he is only two decades at most, where is he like an old man who is nearly 100 years old?

The other young man was also a little suspicious, and although he didn't ask out loud, his expression was obvious.

Uncle Xiang's eyes were fixed on Song Qingxiao and Xiang Si, but what made him a little disappointed was that he didn't see the panicked looks on the faces of the two girls.

As if the news he knew was not something strange to these two people, it could not arouse their curiosity.

His plan to put on a score in front of these two people failed, and his face showed a look of wistfulness.

Fortunately, although Song Qingxiao and Xiang Si didn't eat him, Ah Xin's question with another young man satisfied his vanity a little.

Therefore, although there was silence for a while, Uncle Xiang still answered Ah Xin's question:

"Not bad!"

When he spoke, his eyes were still fixed on Song Qingxiao and Xiang Si:

"When I first met Lord Yichang, he was in the prime of life, and he was only forty years old." When Uncle Xiang said this, he grinned at the corners of his mouth, revealing a mouth full of yellowish teeth:

"Their people are the descendants of the dragon slaying clan, and after following the Yellow Emperor to kill the evil dragon, the clan guarded the dragon soul here."

This old man is not an ordinary person, and in the decades of dealing with Yichang and others, he has also found out some details of the Yichang people.

"It's just that for a long time, most of the clansmen died under the haunting of the evil dragon ghost, and in the end, only these people remained."

"The people of the Soul Suppression clan belong to the Yellow Emperor, and their own lifespan is longer than that of ordinary humans, but the long life brings them is not a blessing." There was a dark light in his single eye, and he stared at Song Qingxiao coldly:

"The soul suppression clan entangled by the dragon soul will fester, and the demonic qi will invade the body, just like the suppression qi in the nine springs can hurt ordinary people, but the damage they suffer is deeper than that of ordinary people."

The long life and powerful body that can destroy the evil dragon give the soul suppressant clan a strong resistance, so when they are corroded by the evil dragon yin, their pain is destined to be deeper than that of ordinary people!

The pain suffered by the young man with the broken wrist was only a few tens of minutes, not even an hour.

However, the people of the Yichang clan will endure the pain of this demonic energy eroding their whole body for a long time until they die.

By the time they died, their bodies festered and turned into a puddle of flesh, and the pain was immense.

Just like the young Uncle Xiang saw his father melt in the Nine Springs with his own eyes, it was exactly the same as the speed at which the soul suppression clan 'melted' was ten million times slower than that of ordinary people.

This slow pace naturally added to their suffering, and their duty to guard the dragon spirits made it impossible for them to leave this place, so they were imprisoned here in disguise and waiting for death.

Under such circumstances, the natural Yichang clan had a grudge against the Heavenly Dao.

"They have merit, they belong to the heroes of the dragon slaying back then, and their names should have been on the sacrificial incense and the inheritance, but in the end they were imprisoned here, and no one knows."

Uncle Xiang said in a dark voice:

"This belongs to the injustice of heaven, and it is natural to find a way to break this injustice!"

Xiang Si frowned when he heard this.

She couldn't get used to seeing this old man pretending, so she sneered at the moment:

"This is a matter of the Soul Suppression Clan, what does it have to do with you?"

When Yichang mentioned the past, although he hated God and resented it, his demeanor was still a little restrained.

How do you know that this old man is even more resentful than the Yichang people when he talks about these pasts, as if these things were all experienced by him personally.

Xiangsi's strength is outstanding, and her temper is eccentric, Uncle Xiang was very jealous of her, but as soon as she said this, Uncle Xiang seemed to be enraged, clenched his hands into fists, and waved vigorously:

"People in the world are in charge of the world's affairs, why can't they be in charge?"

"I'm afraid you're just trying to join the Soul Suppression Clan, what righteous words are you talking about?" Xiang Si was not intimidated by his momentum, but snorted, with a sneering look on his face:

"It's just that I haven't joined yet, and I already claim to be a soul suppressor, which is really laughing! You're just a dog they have at the moment, or the kind that doesn't feed bones! ”

"You-" was beaten by her words, and Uncle Xiang was so angry that one eye widened, and bloodshot streaks appeared in the whites of his cloudy eyes, and his expression was hideous.

The two went toe-for-tat, and the atmosphere was tense, scaring the two young people who had just heard Uncle Xiang's story full of questions and didn't dare to speak out at this critical moment.

"Do you want to hear it anymore? If you don't want to hear it, get out of here! Uncle Xiang and Xiang Si stared at each other for a long time, and they didn't give in to each other.

This old man had no way to take Xiangsi, and finally turned his gaze to Song Qingxiao, threatening.

Song Qingxiao's eyes narrowed, she didn't take Uncle Xiang's threats, and she didn't want to care about the dispute between the two, she just wanted to find out the ins and outs of the matter.

"I advise you to get acquainted!"

She said calmly, this is not like Xiang Si's ruthless tone, but the chill revealed is deeper than Xiang Si saying that he wants to kill people at every turn:

"Don't ramble, focus on your story."

Uncle Xiang was still a little unconvinced, but the gaze was opposite to her, and he suddenly felt a chill rise from his feet, and he shivered excitedly.

Xiang Si on the side also stopped speaking, although she couldn't get used to seeing this old man, she also understood that Song Qingxiao's words at this time were not just warning Uncle Xiang, but also warning her not to stubble and open the topic.

The girl pouted, and she didn't talk to Uncle Xiang anymore, but she secretly decided in her heart that after the task was completed, she must kill this old man to vent her hatred.

Although this result was not as satisfactory as Uncle Xiang expected, fortunately, Xiangsi did not continue to ridicule, Uncle Xiang forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and continued:

"After the death of the soul suppressor, it is not liberation, but only the beginning of another kind of torture."

After he was ridiculed by Xiang Si, he restrained a little: "The ancestors of Yichang found that among these ghosts, there is the breath of ancestors. ”

In other words, the people of the Soul Suppression clan were affected by the dragon soul during their lifetime, and they died in agony, but after death, the soul could not rest in peace, and fell into darkness, which merged with the demonic qi and was difficult to separate.

As long as the soul is immortal, it will live forever.

However, when the Yellow Emperor established the Yulun Void Realm, in order to prevent human beings from being affected by the evil dragon Yin Spirit, he specially separated the Yulun Realm from the Three Realms to form a unique reincarnation world.

The demonic energy cannot be dispersed, and it will only permeate within the Yulun Void Realm.

The soul suppression clan that was corrupted by the evil dragon's yin spirit and died, after death, the soul was imprisoned in the demonic qi and became the nourishment of the evil dragon's soul.

As the more and more the Soul Suppression clan died, the more miserable it became, the more demonic energy became stronger.

By the time the Yichang people reacted, the matter was already very serious, and the Soul Suppression clan had already shown a trend of imminent extinction without a handover and no assistance.

"But Lord Yichang is a turning point in this clan!" Speaking of this, Uncle Xiang's face showed excitement, his back straightened, his cheeks flushed with excitement, and his one-eyed eye was radiant because he remembered some past events.

"He is a leader who turns the tide in times of crisis! At the moment when the soul suppression clan is desperate and waiting for death, he leads the clan to regain their vitality! ”

He seemed to be very adoring of Yichang, and his tone was unabashedly praised.

Song Qingxiao heard this, and then said:

"That's why when you first saw him, he was forty, and 57 years later, he was only in his twenties."

"Not bad!" Uncle Xiang said loudly: "In desperation, Lord Yichang decided to do the opposite and lure the demonic qi into his body. ”

After the death of the evil dragon, the resentment in the soul is extremely powerful, forming a demonic energy that is difficult to extinguish, which makes the soul suppressor clan suffer deeply.

When the position of patriarch was passed on to Yichang, this man, who was still very young at the time, made a major decision that overturned the actions of his ancestors - to cooperate with the Demon Dragon Yin Soul to induce demonic qi to infuse the body and change the fate of the Soul Suppression clan.

"He broke the rules of his ancestors, went against the orders given by the Yellow Emperor back then, cooperated with the Demon Dragon Yin Soul, and changed the mission of the Soul Suppression Clan."

Turn the demonic qi that hurt them into nutrients, strengthen their physical bodies, and at the same time use their souls to nurture dragon spirits, and the two sides coexist and use each other.

This move is not magical, and at the same time, it also makes this group change from a soul suppressor to a 'dragon protector' Yin Spirit!

"With the maintenance of the dragon soul and the yin spirit, every few decades, for them, it is a new reincarnation."

If the legend is true, there are beings in the Three Realms, Heavenly Court, and Hell, then after ordinary people die, they will enter reincarnation, reincarnate, and be reborn as a human being.

But after this rebirth, after drinking Meng Po soup, he forgot about his previous life.

The reincarnation of the Yichang people is different from ordinary people, when they are dying, they are not dead, but cocooned, waiting for a round of rebirth.

The dragon soul will nourish this group of 'people' who protect the dragon and break out of the cocoon into a baby.

Just like Song Qingxiao and Xiang Si's guess, every time they break out of the cocoon, it is a rebirth for them.

When Uncle Xiang first saw Yichang, he was 40, and in the 57 years that Uncle Xiang traveled back and forth to the Yulun Realm, he witnessed him live to the age of antiquity, but he became a cocoon and was reborn again, that kind of shock, even after many years, Uncle Xiang still felt numb in his scalp when he thought about it at this time, and it was difficult to control himself.

"I've heard a lot of fairy legends since I was a child, but this is the first time I've seen an old man in his seventies turn into a baby."

That kind of scene was too exciting for Uncle Xiang, and it made him strengthen his yearning for Yulun's virtual realm.

"In my life, I have seen my grandfather work hard to make money to support his family, and I have seen my grandfather go from being disliked by thousands of people in the village to entering the Kowloon Grottoes and becoming a local celebrity and sought after by everyone."

The Xiang family went from choosing a treasure family, everyone disliked it, and then Uncle Xiang's father made a sensation in the local area because he made great contributions to entering the Kowloon Caves, and the Xiang family became a popular local family.

Many bigwigs in the civic center entered the gate of Xiang's house with gifts, and held his father flutteringly, losing his mind under the temptation of fame and fortune, and then agreeing to re-enter the Kowloon Caves, and finally losing his life.

"I saw the female ghost appear, and I saw my uncle and my father screaming in front of me."

As he was pushed into the cabin by the ghost of the 'returning door', the last thing he heard was the 'pop' sound of his father's swollen and deformed upper half of his body falling into the water.

The incident 57 years ago, before he passed out, the deepest impression left in his mind was the sound of the 'pop' splash and the scene of his father's body whirling in the water, like a piece of rock candy quickly melting.

"Fame and fortune are too weak." The old man muttered, "It's like the flesh and bone that was thrown to him before the dog was beaten." ”

Before his father could take the bone in his mouth, he lost his life.

Since then, Uncle Xiang has felt that fame, fortune and wealth are like floating clouds, and everything is not as precious as his life.

The Yichang people saved his life and told him about the past of the Zhenling clan, and Uncle Xiang, who was still very young at that time, made a heavy oath in his heart - he wanted to join the Yichang clan and gain eternal life.

After being rescued, his boat was sent out and returned with the current of the Kowloon Cave.

The life-saving blood fed to him by the Soul Suppression Clan that day saved his life, and after he came out, it caused a sensation in the entire municipality again.

Someone came to ask him about the details of the Nine Dragons Cave, asked where his father, his brother and the people who entered the Nine Dragons Cave to explore, and what happened inside, Uncle Xiang was silent, only said that he had forgotten.

Even if these people promised to give him money and status, he would not say a word.

He saw his father's fate, and he was unmoved by these coercion and temptations, and only wanted to live forever!

"The transformation of the Yichang people was told to you by them, right?"

Song Qingxiao heard him say this, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Uncle Xiang was stunned for a moment, although he didn't understand what she meant by asking, but after hesitating for a while, he still nodded:

"After they told me, I kept my mouth shut, and I didn't say a word about it!"

He seemed to be very proud of this, but Song Qingxiao smiled faintly:

"Did they ask you to keep it a secret?"

As soon as these words came out, Uncle Xiang was silent for a while.

At this point, the matter has become clear, with Xiang Si's ingenuity, the cause and effect will be sorted out, and then there will be Song Qingxiao's key questioning, which will naturally make sense.

"Tight-lipped about what to say." She snorted coldly, anyway, at this point, Uncle Xiang has already confessed, Song Qingxiao is already talking, of course she no longer has taboos, and immediately showed a hint of sarcasm:

"It's like you're so dignified!"

Uncle Xiang's face was gloomy, and Song Qingxiao didn't care if he liked it or not, and continued:

"Yichang told you this, I'm afraid I don't ask you to keep it secret."

The Soul Suppression clan has reached a critical juncture, and although Yichang's actions have saved the remaining 145 clansmen, they have also fallen into an embarrassing crisis of having no heir.

Therefore, when Uncle Xiang entered the Yulun Void Realm, Yichang at that time told him about these past events, probably because he wanted to ask for help from the outside world.

It's a pity that these people live in this imprisoned world all year round, and they don't understand how deep the curves and curves in the hearts of outsiders are.

The sinister nature of the human heart is not something that this simple race can understand.

"And after you hear these stories, you have already developed a desire for immortality, and you also want to join the cycle of reincarnation."

So at this time, Uncle Xiang would never help them pass on the news to the outside world, but he wanted to keep this secret tight.

Every three years, the Jade Lun Realm needs to perform the 'Dragon King Sacrifice' to appease the evil dragon spirits and maintain the peace of this world.

Uncle Xiang happened to take the opportunity to ask for cooperation at this time, and Yichang had no choice but to agree to this proposal.

"You talk nonsense!" Uncle Xiang was annoyed and angry, and refuted on the spot.

"I can even guess the content of your agreement."

Song Qingxiao didn't take his fierce rebuttal seriously, but continued:

"It's nothing more than that every three years, you trick a girl of the right age for them into sending them into the Yulun Realm to suppress the demonic energy in the lake. And the exchange condition is that when you are old, you also want to be like them, turn into a black cocoon, break out of the cocoon and be reborn, and obtain the eternal reincarnation of immortality. ”

Uncle Xiang's pupils constricted, his cheeks bit very tightly, and when he heard this, he gasped.

He seemed nervous and scared, a kind of fear that the secret he had maintained for many years would be revealed and spread out in the sun, and there was nothing to hide.

"Your condition is half coercion, half pleading. In that case, the number of Yichang people has decreased, and I am afraid that the people in the clan can no longer suppress the demonic qi, so in desperation, I agreed to your proposal. ”

"I didn't! I didn't! You are talking nonsense! ”

Uncle Xiang suddenly shouted like crazy, his expression was extremely fierce, and his spit flew wildly.

He was originally disfigured, and his appearance was extremely ugly, but now when he went crazy, his expression was even more like a ghost, hideous and terrifying.

The two young men who came with him were intimidated by his crazy momentum, and did not dare to approach him, so they both shrunk and hid in a corner of the room, swallowing their saliva, and looked at Uncle Xiang hammering against the wall with a frightened face, making a 'bang-bang' sound.

"As you get older, you should feel a little struggling, and this trip should be the last time you decide to make this kind of trade, so you brought me on the ship, along with three of you." Song Qingxiao looked at Uncle Xiang coldly, "The reason why you brought Pinluo and the three of them is because you have to think about your own future." ”

This old man's mind is extremely delicate, he has already thought about it, after he joins the Soul Suppression Clan, I am afraid that he will also be trapped in place like Yichang and the others, and it will be difficult to get out.

In order to prevent himself from being repressed, he also has to look for a 'role' like himself as a guide.

In the future, after he becomes a member of the Yichang clan, he also needs to have an heir to transport the sacrificial girls for the Yulun Realm, every three years, endlessly.

As soon as Song Qingxiao said this, Uncle Xiang, who was still very excited before, suddenly calmed down.

On the contrary, the two young men who were at a loss and didn't know what to do looked at Uncle Xiang with shocked faces:

"Xiang, Uncle Xiang, is this true?"
