Chapter 300: There is a soul but no soul
Wei Fan's past did not make Tang Anshu and An Wanghai completely believe it.
Why?
Because Wei Fan is a lone soldier, how can he be a lone soldier so simply and directly give out the task?
Tang Anshu asked calmly, "What happened after that?" ”
Wei Fan said: "After that, I replaced Guan Mochen and lived in that house in Nanjing. ”
An Wanghai was puzzled: "At that time, Nanchang and Nanjing were both direct territories, and Guan Mochen was in the direct army, you impersonated him, and he should have been discovered a long time ago, right?" ”
Wei Fan shook his head: "Guan Mochen is just a name, he belongs to the category of empty salary, this situation often occurs among warlords, many of them are relatives in the family, obviously in business, but they have the identity of soldiers." The above arrangement is so that this identity can be handed over to others at any time without being suspected. ”
Tang Anshu asked: "You are so strict in the rules of the lonely army, you told us these things, obviously violated the door rules, aren't you afraid of death?" ”
After Tang Anshu raised his question, Wei Fan said: "I am afraid of death that I seek your help." ”
An Wanghai asked, "What?" The Lone Army is going to kill you? ”
Wei Fan frowned: "You will know after listening to me, after I arrived in Nanjing, I waited for a few months, and finally met the contact, what the liaison told me was exactly the same as I speculated, since many years ago, the lone army has been eyeing a geophysiognomy called Guan Mochen, finding out all his laws and details, and then killing him and finding the ...... to replace him"
And before that, the lone army had already found Guan Kangan's humanoid seven courages, but they couldn't hide Guan Kang'an for a long time, after all, there was no impermeable wall, and if someone was discovered, their efforts would be wasted, so they decided to find a home for Guan Kang'an.
So, Lone Army used Guan Mochen's identity to turn Guan Kangan into his son, after all, in the different ways, most people would not have imagined that an Earth Appearance would have seven galls around him, even if he was aware of it, he would not be able to find the body of the Lone Army, and would only track down the Earth Phase.
But why do the Seven Spirits have a human form? The liaison did not tell Wei Fan, but asked him to follow certain steps to test Guan Kangan step by step, they wanted to find out if An Kangan was the "immortal" in the legend of sewing a thousand corpses.
What does it mean to be immortal?
That is, it refers to the immortality of the body, spirit and soul, this statement comes from Taoism, and Taoism believes that in order to cultivate and perfect a person's soul, the necessary condition is to have a very high moral character, the more perfect the personality, the higher the frequency of life, and finally reach the realm of immortality of the soul, which is the "Yellow Emperor Neijing" said "the soul is complete, but to become a person".
And the word soul, soul is soul, soul is spirit. In the "Zuo Biography", it is recorded that "the spirit of the form is the spirit, and the god of the spirit is the soul", and the folk also believe that the weather is the soul, the earth is the spirit, if a person dies, the soul returns to the sky, and the spirit returns to the earth.
In the legend of sewing a thousand corpses, it is believed that the six spirits can help people obtain immortality, to put it bluntly, it is said that a living dead with a mind, because there is only a soul and no soul.
When Tang Anshu heard this, he asked, "Isn't that a zombie?" ”
An Wanghai also looked at Wei Fan suspiciously, indeed, the so-called zombie is soulless, and the so-called immortality of sewing a thousand corpses is not a zombie?
Wei Fan shook his head and said: "No, zombies are a kind of walking dead that has no thoughts and will be manipulated, but the six courages are different, this kind of thing can make people have zombie abilities, but they are still human beings in essence." ”
Tang Anshu looked at the back room: "You mean, Guan Kangan is a zombie?" ”
Wei Fan said: "I don't know how to define what Guan Kangan is, he is very strange, he can eat or not, but he can not sleep, all poisons are not invaded, even if he suffers external injuries, he will recover in just a few days, after I arrived in Nanjing, the instructions I received were to try to kill Guan Kangan by various methods." ”
The order Wei Fan received was exactly the same as the order Guan Mochen received before.
So, after Wei Fan became the sixth Guan Mochen, he also repeated what the first five Guan Mochen did, and he began to look for all kinds of weird medicines and feed Guan Kangan, and Guan Kangan had a longing every time, as if he was willing to be killed.
It's a pity that no matter what method Wei Fan uses, Guan Kangan will not die, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and even Wei Fan went to ask for the so-called charm to deal with it, but these are of no use to Guan Kangan.
Then, Wei Fan decided to use the most extreme method, that is, to burn Guan Kangan directly, because zombies are afraid of fire, and he decided to take Guan Kangan to the coal kiln and continue to burn until Guan Kangan has nothing left.
But just when Wei Fan was about to take Guan Kangan there, he was stopped by the liaison, who told him that his purpose was to find Guan Kangan's six courages, not to really kill him.
At that time, Wei Fan knew that Guan Kangan was not a person with six courages at all, but a person with six courages.
Wei Fan ignored the rules and asked Guan Kang'an's origin.
The liaison hesitated for a long time, and finally told him that even he didn't know.
Wei Fan didn't know if the contact person was lying, but he felt that it was better to ask Guan Kangan directly about this matter?
After returning home, Wei Fan asked Guan Kangan alone how all this happened? But Guan Kangan told Wei Fan: "You want to know too much, you will die, just like those Guan Mochen before." ”
Wei Fan hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Guan Kangan folded his fingers and calculated: "The first one was hit by a car and died, the second one fell to his death, the third was attacked by the so-called bandits on the way to escape, the fourth was suicide by hanging, and the fifth was suicide by taking poison." ”
Wei Fan understood what Guan Kangan meant, Guan Kangan wanted to tell him that in order to cover up Guan Kangan's existence, every person sent to him by the Lone Army would kill him after a period of time, so as not to leak the secret, and the so-called accidental deaths and suicides were all done by Lone Army's people.
Guan Kangan said again: "That Guan Mochen in Nanchang is smarter than you, he has long known this, and he also knows that he can't escape the palm of the organization, so he has been trying to find the secret of my immortality, but he didn't find it, and finally died, you want to know too much, you are not far from death." ”
Wei Fan was stunned, although he was instilled with the idea of not being afraid of death since he was a child, but he has always been unwilling to be someone else, he wants to be himself, but he doesn't know who he is and what he should do.
But he died in vain like this, he was too unwilling.
At this moment, Guan Kangan said again: "I have a way to let you escape, at least so that your organization will not dare to touch you in a short period of time, and ensure that you are well-thought, do you believe me?" ”
Of course, Wei Fan didn't believe Guan Kang'an, but Guan Kang'an said: "My body is always a child, no one around, I will be suspected, I don't want to be tortured anymore, although I don't die, but I will feel pain, I am like living in hell now, if you die, another person, it will still torture me, so, I decided to let you live, you now, just need to wait quietly." ”
Tang Anshu seemed to understand when he heard this, and he said: "Then, Leng Rui published an article in the newspaper to criticize you, and you also started to fight back according to what Guan Kangan said, and the two started a pen battle, plus you both revealed your identities, so that you became famous, and let the world know about Guan Mochen and Leng Rui, right?" ”
Wei Fan nodded and said: "That's right, and then Guan Kangan asked me to report and expose some ugly things in the army with an iron face and selflessness, which made me famous again, and at the same time let everyone remember my appearance, so that everyone thinks that I am Guan Mochen, and I also successfully obtained the title of Yubi Chenghuang." ”
The reason why Guan Kangan arranged it this way is to let everyone know about Guan Mochen's existence and know that the current Wei Fan is Guan Mochen, so that Lone Army will not dare to attack him easily, because once Guan Mochen's appearance dies mysteriously, it will definitely attract the attention of others, and it is normal to find out Guan Kangan's body, and then the paper will not be able to contain the fire.
Guan Kangan's hand really worked, and the liaison person didn't contact Wei Fan again, of course, the upper echelons of the lonely army were not stupid, they knew that Wei Fan had noticed something, but they didn't dare to do it.
Soon after, Guan Kangan arranged for Wei Fan to make friends with some progressive thinkers, let him join the revolutionary army in private, and promised to stay among the direct warlords as an internal response.
However, Wei Fan's luck seemed to be particularly good, and just when he was worrying about how to leave Nanjing, Wang Zhengchu, an official in the army, approached him, hoping that he could go to Yongcheng and help Fu Guodong.
Wei Fan agreed without thinking about it, of course, he also revealed that he stayed here and was restrained, it was better to go to Yongcheng to show his strength, of course, he was to escape from Nanjing smoothly.
With the order, Wei Fan immediately went to Yongcheng, but Guan Kangan told him on the way that it was too dangerous to go to Yongcheng, but maybe it was a good opportunity for them to get rid of the lonely army forever.
Because before he went to Yongcheng, the revolutionary army also got the news and gave him a death order, that is, to plot against Fu Guodong, if it doesn't go well, then find a way to establish a trade union in Yongcheng, use the power of the civil armed forces and the people to take Yongcheng, and recover Xingang.
An Wanghai finally understood: "It turns out that this is the reason why you want to be in turmoil, so that you can take advantage of the chaos and Guan Kangan to disappear without a trace, right?" I really thought of you as that kind of idealist, I didn't expect that. ”
In fact, An Wanghai has always been suspicious of passing Mochen, after all, how could the means used by an earth phase be so clumsy? To put it bluntly, in his eyes, Guan Mochen is a brainless person, how can this kind of person win the title of Yubi Chenghuang?
It turned out that all this was not Guan Mochen, that is, Wei Fan's arrangement, but the strategy of Guan Kangan beside him.
So, what is the origin of this Guan Kangan?
Wei Fan said: "Now our plans are completely disrupted, we are also trapped in Yongcheng, after we left the Governor's Mansion, we were targeted, those who are not alone, but people who are full of wind." ”
The wind is full of buildings? Tang Anshu looked at Wei Fan and said: "Fengmanlou was also built by a lone army, but you don't know it, and now the cloud is dead......
As he spoke, Tang Anshu briefly talked about the things on the clouds, and affirmed that Feng Manlou is now leaderless.
But after Wei Fan heard this, he just said lightly: "It's just a code name on the cloud, the person who used the code name before died, and there can be another one, this is a lonely army, just like there are many Guan Mochen in this world, it doesn't matter who Guan Mochen is, what matters is what you do with this identity." ”
