111. The Last One (Thanks to the Diamond Who Kissed the Scar)

But looking at my grandmother's expression, she didn't seem to know what was going on, as if she only thought that Ying Ning was burned to death in that fire, so she was very shocked that I still saw Ying Ning's body in the Soul City.

Soon I was puzzled, it turned out that my grandmother's previous life was a witch, she had tried to use witchcraft to turn the tide before Ying Ning's catastrophe, but after all, she could only watch her own granddaughter suffer from the burning pain, and although her daughter and son-in-law were ordinary people, they crashed into the front of the altar. In the face of such grief, the witchcraft in his body backfired, and a mouthful of blood arrow spurted out, killing him instantly.

In other words, after that fire, although Ying Ning was reborn, he lost all his loved ones.

Despite all this confirmed from my grandmother, I still couldn't think of myself as Ying Ning. In addition, what I can't figure out is that Ying Ning's soul, which was sealed in the ice sculpture by the wizard, even Sheng Shiyao didn't know where he went, how could he be in Zhuang Yu? Could this be actually Zhuang Yu's conspiracy, deceiving his grandmother that it was Ying Ning's soul, but in fact it was to achieve some kind of purpose?

But what about my ability to predict dreams? After learning that everything that happened in the Soul City was true, a panic rose in his heart for no reason. Ying Ning will be a prophet, and I will dream a warning, Sheng Shiyao, who was dominated by wizard memories in that darkness, took me for Ying Ning, is this a coincidence? But at that time, I never imagined that the truth would be like this, and it was only when I might be in some way compatible with Ying Ning that the wizard would misunderstand me.

After hearing that I still had doubts about this matter, my grandmother gently stroked my head and said, "Silly child, my grandmother studied witchcraft in her previous life, and in this life, the ancestors of the family originated in southern Xinjiang, and they have been good at witchcraft for generations. How can you not recognize your soul energy? As for how the master got your soul, I have no way of knowing, the master didn't say, but he not only inherited the memories of his previous life, but also inherited the abilities and appearance of his previous life, so there must be something related to it. ”

"Zhuang Yu looks the same as in his previous life? He also knew witchcraft in his previous life? I was a little surprised by this message, and then asked, "Could it be that 2,000 years ago everyone knew witchcraft?" ”

"Not everyone will, but at that time, the people of Dian Kingdom believed in witchcraft very much, and the status of wizards and witches was very high. Compared with my master, my ability is inferior. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Dian Kingdom, ostensibly to expand the territory, but the real reason was that he had a secret technique in the Dian Kingdom, which could bring the dead back to life, immortality, and even rejuvenation. But even if the Dian Kingdom surrendered to the Han Dynasty, this secret art did not spread, because the person who really knew this secret art was missing, and he was Wu Wang Yao. ”

Things came full of twists and turns, and they turned back to Sheng Shiyao. According to legend, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was indeed mediocre in his later years, trusted the alchemist, and sought the art of immortality like Emperor Qin, could it be that from that time these thoughts arose?

The resurrection of the dead and the rejuvenation of the youth have been confirmed in the carvings left by Ying Ning, but immortality is obviously an exaggeration, but this is what successive kings have pursued under the rule of the government. Besides, if a person can really live forever, then this person will be sad in the future, he not only tastes the loneliness of the world, but also sees the old age, sickness and death of the people around him.

If it were me, I think I'd be crazy.

At this point, basically all the doubts that should be solved have been solved, and only one last question remains: "Grandma, will I be like Ying Ning, because I know too many heavenly opportunities and respond to the heavenly calamity?" And is this my fate? ”

Grandma nodded, her eyes sad, and said, "I thought that by sneaking you away and using witchcraft to change your annual rings, I would be able to reverse this trend of fate." But after you were eight years old, you found that your occasional fairy tale already had a foreknowledge of the future, and I discussed the solution with the ancestors and forcibly used a spell to erase your childhood memories to dilute your prophetic ability. But one thing is not settled, one thing is up again, and the yin qi you bring from the mother body is becoming more and more uncontrollable and leaking, and in the long run, it is bound to be discovered by the master. And if the yin qi is too strong, it will be a heavy blow to your body, and you will inevitably become weaker and weaker in the future, so when you were eleven years old, I had to use the method of yang longevity and yin to renew your life, and I wanted to keep you safe in the future. But in the end......"

At this point, my grandmother's eyes suddenly moistened, and her voice choked. I knew the meaning of her words, but in the end I didn't escape the catastrophe, just after she lay down, my wheel of fate officially opened, what should have happened, nothing less happened to me, this is called, fate.

I forced a smile and comforted my grandmother and said, "You see I'm not very good now, where is there any calamity, maybe it's just groundless, and the things of the previous life may not continue in this life." ”

"No, Ah Xiao, you don't understand," Grandma's expression was not only solemn but also sad, "Even if it seems that your life has been deflected now, in fact, you are still walking in the footsteps of history, like a reincarnation." I used to naively think that the master was trying to save you, but now I start to suspect that he knows that your fate is unchangeable, but he still wants to bring you back to try to open your forgotten memories. ”

My heart trembled, my grandmother said that this is reincarnation, will all those things that happened to Ying Ning repeat themselves in me? It was not only the burning fire, but also the ones that happened later, will Sheng Shiyao also become a demon to save me like a wizard? But he's already started to demonize now, isn't this ahead of time?

Wait, Ying Ning was burned by the heavenly calamity, and Huang Xingyuan's secret technique was also burned by fire when he practiced to a certain extent, including Sheng Shiyao's body was also extremely hot when he had an attack, would there be any connection between this?

I have a strong intuition, and as long as I solve these mysteries, I may be able to make a breakthrough.

Grandma said that Zhuang Yu brought me back to open up that part of the memory about Ying Ning, why did he single-handedly plan all this? And what is the purpose of keeping my mother's body? Suddenly I thought that I had never asked Zhuang Yu who he was in his previous life, how could he be his grandmother's master.

As soon as I asked, my grandmother didn't have time to answer, but she heard a cold voice from outside the house: "You might as well ask me this question directly." Standing up in shock, it's Zhuang Yu! When he arrived, I don't know.

But seeing that my grandmother was calm, she struggled to get up and pull me behind her, and when Zhuang Yu pushed the door in, she took a step forward and bowed her head and said: "Cheng Qingping knows that she is guilty and does not dare to escape, but she has not met her granddaughter for more than ten years, so she stayed here for a while, and asked her master to forgive her sins." ”

"Grandma, you ......" I was really careless, I didn't think deeply about the purpose of my grandmother's appearance in my room, she was actually waiting here on purpose, just to tell me those things. Presumably, Sheng Shiyao also saw her motives, so he didn't insist on taking her away.

Zhuang Yu swept over us gloomily, and finally fixed his gaze on my face, "Okay, but it saves my tongue, now you know who you really are." Ying Ning, the promise of the heavens, to keep the world peaceful, this is the origin of your name. ”

Hearing this, my heart moved slightly, and I asked suspiciously: "You mean that Ying Ning is not her original name?" ”

"The son inherits the father's surname, which is a continuation of the Qin and Han dynasties, but in the ancient Dian Kingdom, there was no such custom at all. The name is just a title, and it is more pronounced with one or two words, and it will not inherit the surname of the elders, you can ask Cheng Qingping what your original name was, and you will naturally know that what I said is true or false. ”

I turned my head to look at my grandmother, and sure enough, she nodded and whispered, "That's right, you were born at dawn, so your mother named you Xiao." In this world, I delivered you at dawn, and I still used that word. The name Ying Ning was given to you by the people of the Dian Kingdom after you used the prophet to open the eyes of heaven and see the world famous, and the people of the Dian Kingdom worshiped you as the 'Heavenly Maiden', and the master gave you the name. ”

Zhuang Yuqi's? Noticing that my grandmother used the word "giving", in ancient times, the people who gave names were people of high status, and I became more and more curious about the identity of the man in front of me. When he saw my suspicious gaze, he no longer hung people's appetites, and said slowly: "The historical record only ended when the Dian Kingdom was conquered by the Western Han Dynasty, and the tombs of the Dian kings were unearthed in later generations. ”

I was stunned, and it took me a few seconds before I glared at him and asked, "Are you saying that your previous life was the last King of Dian?" ”

Something flashed in his dark eyes, and he replied in a deep voice, "So to speak." ”

"What about Wu Wang Yao? What is his relationship with you? "One is the King of Dian and the other is the King of Wu, both belong to the Kingdom of Dian, don't tell me that it is father and son, then I am really going to be messy. Fortunately, Zhuang Yu's answer was: "He belongs to the same clan as me, he can be regarded as a brother, he is the seventh son of Weiqiang, not born in the royal family, when I met him, he was already eight years old." ”

I saw that his tone was indifferent, not at all like he regarded the other party as a brother, and he called Weiqiang's name many times, and couldn't help asking: "Aren't you the son of Weiqiang?" ”

"It's not. Strictly speaking, I am the descendant branch of Zhuang Ji, the ancestor of the Dian Kingdom. ”

No wonder his name is Zhuang Yu, although there is no custom of inheriting the father's surname in the Dian Kingdom, but Zhuang Ji is a Chu person after all, he established himself as the queen, and more or less brought the customs of the Chu State into the Dian Kingdom, so Zhuang Yu was called Yu in his previous life, and he still followed the surname of his ancestors in this life.

In fact, I really want to know more about Sheng Shiyao's previous life, but after learning that Zhuang Yu was the queen of Dian in his previous life, I already vaguely felt that they should be hostile at that time, at least the relationship will not be much better. Otherwise, in this life, why would you fight like this?

Taking this opportunity, I would like to take the opportunity to persuade: "Zhuang Yu, now that you and him have not been touched, since you have a relationship in your previous life and belong to the same Yunnan royal family, why don't you stop here, shake hands and make peace, and return to your respective positions?" ”

Zhuang Yu laughed when he heard this, "I also have this intention, but Yao doesn't come forward, I just have this idea, and it's difficult for one person to do it." ”

Inexplicably, he felt that his smile was a little weird, and asked defensively, "What do you want to do?" ”

He said: "No matter what time Yao is, it seems that he can't escape the 'Heavenly Maiden' demonic barrier, two thousand years ago, and two thousand years later. So, I'm going to have to ask you to help with this. ”
