Chapter 2: The Sword God
Jiang Yun died again.
When he had just completed the crossing and came to the same cell ten years ago out of thin air, Chang Lizhen was obviously curious - with his strength, he couldn't see how Jiang Yun did it.
But this can't hide the fact that Jiang Yun is a weak chicken.
Grabbing his throat, Chang asked sharply, "Who are you?" How did you get in? β
It was very uncomfortable to be pinched in his throat, and it was a little difficult to speak, but he still reluctantly rearranged the words he had thought before in a hurry: "I know that the old-timers are about to escape from prison, can I help some, can you take me with you?" β
It stands to reason that he didn't lie, he just concealed some facts.
After listening to his words, Chang Li tilted his head, looked at him, showed a smile, and said, "Liar, no, thank you." β
With a smile on his face, he was polite, and with a force on his hand, he crushed Jiang Yun's throat again.
In the midst of the pain, his eyes went dark, and when he regained consciousness, he was still in prison - he returned to his own time and space.
I touched my throat, but there was no wound, but the fear and pain left by the previous death were still vivid.
"the chicken! Give it a chance! Jiang Yun wanted to scold, but stopped the car at the last moment - it was not good to provoke the jailer.
is also good and evil, with changeable personalities, the world's evaluation of Chang Lizhen is really right, if you say the wrong thing, you will be a killer directly, and you will not be given any more opportunities.
The powerhouse of the Abyss Realm, even if he does not use his aura, with only physical strength, it is not much more difficult to pinch him to death than to pinch an ant to death.
Jiang Yun, who was in no hurry to try again, sat back on his bed and took a while to recover.
Death in the fragment of time and space will not bring him actual harm, but despite this, the experience of death will still not be comfortable, and the mental trauma will also take a little time to heal.
He also needed to use the recovery time to think about the whole process just now. There is little point in blindly trying, he has to think clearly about the strategy.
First of all, he was almost certain that the two cells were the same one. The cell where he was held was the same place where the 'Killer Sword' was held ten years ago.
This is mainly due to the fact that he saw the cell where Chang Lizhen was before, and there was a burnt yellow mark on the side of the light bulb above. He also had it in his own cell, and it was exactly the same shape, except that the one from ten years ago looked fresher, and now this one was lighter.
I don't know what that thing left over, but at least it's a crucial piece of evidence.
From the time you complete the crossing to the time you die, the whole process can take only twenty seconds. He had been pinched by his throat all the time, and it was difficult to pay attention to many things, but the conversation between him and the old devil, which was only two sentences, was always remembered clearly.
These two sentences are very important.
Jiang Yun said that there are three elements: knowing about the prison escape, you can help, and finally ask if you can take you with you.
But Chang Lizhen directly thought that he was a liar, so he pinched him to death.
What's the problem?
He wasn't lying, he just didn't tell everything.
"Could it be...... Does he have the ability to discern lies directly, or what is hidden? β
Jiang Yun had such an idea.
It can't be confirmed for the time being, but it's not impossible, and it's not inconceivable that a powerhouse in the Abyss Realm has a secret special method.
Thinking about this as a premise, Jiang Yun further felt that there was something wrong with what he said before.
Think about it from another perspective, a killer who kills people without blinking, and even kills the emperor, is preparing to escape in the prison, and halfway through the preparation, in the obviously unmanned cell, a big living person suddenly appears out of thin air!
If it were you, how would you react?
It seems to be the safest, ask the last question, and don't get any useful answers, so just slaughter it and run away.
This is not the earth, there is aura, there is extraordinary power, and it is not unusual for anything to happen. Even if Jiang Yun's way of appearing is very bizarre, it is obviously not the time to explore too much at the critical juncture of people's escape from prison.
As for the 'help' he said, when Chang Li was confident that he could escape from prison, what help did he need from a waste of the Enlightenment Realm? Not to mention a burden.
And if you want to break the game, the most critical point is to speak amazingly. He can't lie, he can't hide too much, but he can't talk nonsense.
These requirements, distilled down, are that he must use short words to say a certain truthful information, which directly arouses Chang Lixi's great interestβan interest that must be more important than his own escape from prison.
This is too much of a headache, how can it be done?
But it's not that there is no way at all, he has the memory of Jiang Yun's predecessor to use.
Chang Lizhen is a celebrity, especially in the Jiangdong area, and many people worship him.
There is no other reason: Chang Lizhen assassinated the Emperor of Daliang.
The world was once divided into nine countries, and Liang and Wu were both established for more than a thousand years. But in the first one or two hundred years, after two generations of Emperor Liang Lie and Emperor Wu of Liang, the Liang State unified the Nine Kingdoms. Among them, the latest to be destroyed was the state of Wu entrenched in Jiangdong and Jiangnan.
It wasn't until thirty-six years ago that the state of Wu really perished.
The hatred of destroying the country has only passed for more than 30 years, and it is not so easy to forget. The Wu people did not have a good impression of the Liang Dynasty, and often killed the Emperor of the Liang State, and many Jiangdong people celebrated the crown.
The Jiang family is a famous family in Wu State, and Jiang Yun himself, under the influence of his father, always thinks about his homeland. When I was a child, I heard about Chang Li's assassination feat, so I had a good understanding of the life of this 'great hero'.
And this has become the capital of Jiang Yun's turnaround.
It's so glad that he can inherit his memory, otherwise he won't know anything about this world until he dies in prison.
Frantically searching for all the memories of his predecessor for Chang Lizhen, he quickly found a few points that could be used.
Through these points, Jiang Yun weaved words in his mind.
After taking a moment to prepare, he took a deep breath and immersed himself, and then he came to the consciousness space again.
In a gray mist, he controlled his body and floated to the side of the floor tiles.
He found that his spirit had become smaller again, about half the size it had been when he first came.
Traveling into space-time fragments requires energy consumption. And at this rate, he has about two chances left.
Thinking that it was useless, he reached out and touched the floor tile.
The next moment, he came to the Fengling Prison in Luzhou Prison ten years ago for the third time.
It was still a familiar formula, and before he could react, his throat was pinched.
"Who are you? How did you get in? β
Jiang Yun said with difficulty: "I...... From ten years later, I know your future destiny, you have a black mole at the base of your left thigh! β
Chang Li frowned. Although he didn't let go, he didn't directly pinch Jiang Yun to death like he did last time.
That's good news.
Chang Lizhen instinctively didn't believe Jiang Yun's words, from ten years later? How that sounds!
But...... Just as Jiang Yun had guessed before, the Divine Soul Technique he cultivated did have the ability to detect lies through the soul and discern whether there was something to hide. This ability is not invincible, if the other party is also extremely accomplished in the divine soul, it is indeed impossible to see through, but if you want to hide the secret of the divine soul in front of him, it is not something that a young man in the realm of enlightenment can do anyway.
Through this ability, he was able to be sure that Jiang Yun was not lying.
And in the latter sentence, there is a black mole at the base of the thigh...... This kind of private place is not glorious, and there are few people in the whole world who know it.
It's not a big deal, but it's secretive.
The combination of the two makes the phrase 'I know your future destiny' more believable.
He was silent for a moment, then smiled and let go of his hand.
Jiang Yun, who was finally able to breathe normally, touched his neck and gasped for breath.
It seems that he has passed the first difficulty, but he still does not dare to relax for half a minute, and the other party can kill him at any time.
With an inexplicable smile, Chang Li sat down cross-legged on the bed. He looked at Jiang Yun who was slumped on the ground and said, "You have successfully aroused my interest, let's talk about it carefully." β
Jiang Yun, who was panting, finally had the time to take a closer look at the appearance of the most famous killer in front of him in only a hundred years.
Chang Liyun was wearing a prison uniform, which was roughly the same as the clothes on Jiang Yun's body.
He should have been over fifty years old by this time, but he couldn't see it at all. The face is handsome, just like the standard template of a charismatic uncle. He seems to like to laugh very much, and the smile is very tasteful, a little free and a little warm. Of course, laughter doesn't always mean happiness.
In addition to the appearance that Jiang Yun had seen from the portrait in his impression, Chang Lijin's whole person's conversation, temperament, and demeanor were different from what he imagined, more like the taste of a chic and uninhibited swordsman in some film and television works.
But it was just an appearance, Jiang Yun didn't forget how this 'Monarch Killer Sword' didn't hesitate to crush his throat when he crossed over the two times before.
Calming down, Jiang Yun retracted his gaze and began his own narrative: "I came from ten years later, and I was also imprisoned in this cell. I was able to obtain a space-time fragment in my cell and could travel to a fantasy from this moment ten years ago. Ten years have actually passed, and you are dead by then. β
Hearing the news of his death, the 'Monarch Killer Sword' Chang Li could tell that it was true, but his face did not change at all, and he just asked flatly: "How did I die?" β
"You escaped from this cell." Jiang Yun said, "But your disappearance immediately attracted the attention of Jinyiwei, and they immediately began to hunt you down, you killed out of Luzhou City, fled all the way south, broke through all kinds of encirclement and pursuit, but in the end you were caught up in Liuyuan County." Jin Yiwei commanded the 'Dead Hand' Li Tie and the Palace Master of the Heavenly Sword Palace, 'Sword Immortal' Wang Kai, to defeat you. You were killed on the spot, the body fell into their hands, and after the autopsy, it was transported to Shenjing, where it was exposed to the sun for a month before being burned. β
It's the truth again, and this time, Chang Lizhen doesn't even need to be judged by his polygraph ability.
He was 100% sure of escaping from this Sealed Spirit Prison, and after that, he had already thought of the direction of continuing to escape - to the south, from Liuyuan County, leaving Jiangdong and entering South Vietnam, where the control of the imperial court was very weak and suitable for hiding.
This route, he came up with in his cell, of course, it is impossible to tell anyone, but Jiang Yun is right.
Moreover, the amount of information contained in Jiang Yun's words is too great.
Compared with his own 'death', he cared more about the 'Sword Immortal' Wang Kai's shot.
The smile on Chang Li's face disappeared, and he looked at the blank wall, as if he was stunned.
What was he thinking? We didn't know, and we didn't dare to ask, so we could only keep our mouths shut and wait with a little apprehension.
The two were relatively silent for a while, and Chang Lizhen finally spoke again: "Then as you said, this is just a fragment of time and space, and nothing that happens will change the real history?" β
"Yes." Jiang Yun can't lie.
After he gained the ability to travel through the fragments of time and space, and completed the first time travel, he understood the essence of this thingβit was the mark left by that time and space, that event, from the eve of Chang Li's escape to his death. In this fragment, the time is so long, at that point in time, the space-time fragment will be over, and it will not be reset until Jiang Yun opens it next time.
It's not another timeline, it's just a fragment of time, a reincarnation.
"So what are you doing here? Even if I escape with you, it doesn't make sense for you to return to your own time and space. β
"But I can learn how you can get out of prison."
Chang Lizhen smiled again: "Why should I help you?" β
Jiang Yun was not surprised when he heard this.
What he was most worried about was not Chang Lixuan who would kill him again. Judging by the size of the spirit that he had formed in the gray space, he had at least one or two more chances to try. It's not much, but there's hope.
What he feared the most was that he couldn't use Chang Li's method of escaping from prison at all.
This is actually the most probable thing, the means possessed by the top powerhouse of the Abyss Realm, it is simply too normal for him to not learn the law. He tried it, and there was no other way.
But Chang Lizhen didn't say anything like 'you can't learn' or 'can't help', but said 'why help', so does this mean that he can actually use Chang Lizhen's methods?
As for how to convince the other party, this is another matter, at least there is hope for it.
"Senior, although history cannot be reversed, and I don't have the ability to bring you back from the dead, but ...... If you have any unfulfilled wishes, I will help you fulfill them if I survive. β
In front of a big living person and a top master who is much stronger than himself, it seems a little strange to say this kind of thing, but this is the only explanation that Jiang Yun can come up with, he can't give Chang Lizhen more things.
Chang Li laughed and said, "Haha! I have had any regrets throughout my life? β
Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "How many choices are there in a person's life? How can there be a dharma for everything? β
That's right, it's just that the so-called regret depends on whether people care about it or not. If I don't care about the past, how can I regret it? β
Jiang Yun sat up straight and said: "No one can deceive themselves, if the predecessors really have no entrustment, then there is nothing to be done in the future, listen quietly." β
Chang Li thought for a while and said, "Yes, in life, who can really have no regrets?" β
But before Jiang Yun could relax a little, he continued: "But I often have the regrets left by someone, just do it myself." If you don't have a chance to do it, let it be as it should be, and I have no regrets to entrust it to you. β
Jiang Yun's mood sank to the bottom, and it seemed that this crossing had failed again.
Judging from the size of his spirit body, after experiencing three crossings, the rest is only enough for the last time, that is, he only has one chance to try to convince Chang Lizhen.
There is little hope......
"But ......" However, at this moment, Chang Li's words changed sharply, but he gave Jiang Yun great hope, "I see that your kid is still quite pleasing to the eye, but I don't mind helping you, in short, I don't have much to lose." β
"But I'll only teach once, and it's up to you how much you can learn."
Jiang Yun was ecstatic!
