Chapter 321: The so-called thousand-year tribulation
In the thousand-year practice, although Li Qian has become a ghost king, he has not cut off his evil thoughts. This evil thought has been separated from him and sealed in the body of the tomb.
When the body is resurrected, even the evil thoughts are liberated, but his good thoughts are strong enough to suppress the evil thoughts.
This time, in order to resurrect Yuan Tiangang, Daozun used the souls of tens of millions of people as a sacrifice, and the resentment was superimposed. In order to prevent Yuan Tiangang's resurrection, Li Qian originally planned to use himself to suppress it, but he didn't want to be exploited by the evil thoughts in his body, leaving the good thoughts in his body, and only devouring Yuan Tiangang with evil thoughts.
I sat on the bed, wrapped in the quilt, and listened to my grandmother's story about the cause and effect, and I couldn't help but tighten my hands.
Compare your evil thoughts with your good thoughts, and the victorious side determines his own good and evil.
Unexpectedly, this is Li Qian's purpose.
No wonder the "future" I see everywhere says it is not yet determined.
It turned out that it referred to Li Qian's "good and evil" has not yet been determined.
"Child, grandma has watched you grow up since childhood, and your thoughts and thoughts can't escape my old eyes."
The calloused hand clasped me again: "You really love the ghost king in your heart, I know." β
"Grandma, you know all these things, don't you?"
I asked softly, with no concentration in my eyes.
"You've thought about it in your heart, and you're even waiting for this day to come, aren't you?"
After being silent for a long time, she finally nodded: "You are right. β
"I knew from the beginning what things were going to turn out of." The apology in her eyes flashed, "From the day you were a child, the piece of blood jade parasitic from Li Qian's soul was handed over to you, grandma thought of it. β
"I'm from the Ling family, you're a dead lady, and all of this was decided thousands of years ago."
Speaking of this, she looked up at Ling Xi: "That day, in the ancestral house of the Ling family, I met you with the method of soul travel, and he was also clear about this matter. β
"I'm sorry, Little July, because it wasn't the last minute, I couldn't reveal anything to you." Ling Xi's eyes drooped.
"Child, Li Qian is the one who responds to the thousand-year catastrophe, and he is also going through the catastrophe himself. I hope you remember this. β
I nodded and listened to her continue.
"Ling Xi should have told you before, our Ling family was originally surnamed Feng, and the Feng family was only to protect the corpse mother.
The Millennium Tribulation may be a calamity for the rest of them in the know, but for my Feng family, there is nothing special. As long as it can protect you, nothing else matters. β
It is precisely with this idea in mind that grandma and even Ling Xi silently watched from the sidelines, acquiescing in the development of the situation to the greatest extent.
If the good thoughts in Li Qian's body win, then everyone will be happy, and the Millennium Tribulation is just a concept of time for us.
If Li Qian's evil thoughts win, this will be the beginning of the "catastrophe", and it is also a problem that I must face.
Thinking back to the night of my eighteenth birthday, what happened until now, I hesitated for a moment and asked anyway.
"That day, it was the night of my birthday, and when you said that you went out to run errands and asked me to wait at home, you actually went to Li Qian's place, right?"
Her expression froze slightly, and then she admitted.
"Child, do you blame grandma?"
Sure enough, the figure I saw at Li Qian's place that night was grandma, yes.
Li Qian's tomb is under my family's ancestral house, my grandmother is from the Ling family, and she knows all kinds of magic that I don't know, and it is indeed not an unusual thing to meet Li Qian in that way that night.
I shook my head: "I just think it's a little surprising that grandma has hidden this matter for so long." β
She sighed: "Now that it's over, there's nothing to hide." We may not have seen each other for a long time, so let's tell us what you think. β
The next time, the two of us had a conversation.
Ling Hee was also nearby, but most of the time she was a listener, except for the occasional conversation.
I'm only now realizing that he does know a lot of things that I don't know, but he never told me.
"Do you remember the mahogany box that Li Qian asked you to go home to get at the beginning?" Grandma asked me.
Naturally, I remembered that it contained proof of my identity as a walking corpse.
It's just that now that I think about it, Li Qian asked me to take it away from home, and what I wanted was not that piece of paper.
"Actually, there are some things in there, but grandma transferred it very early and put it with your parents. The main reason for this is to make it easy for me to access. β
Ling Xi took over the words: "Remember that in front of your parents' graves, after we broke up, did you ask Li Qian about the mahogany box?" β
I looked at him and knew that he hadn't gone far at all.
"Actually, I was the one who took the mahogany box away." Ling Xi admitted, "Li Qian wants to get the contents inside, but I can't let him touch it until he is decided." β
"So, you two put it together...... Hiding it from me for so long? β
Looking at these two important family members, I didn't know what to say. From the beginning to the end, I was the one who kept me in the dark.
"What about Master, what does he know?"
Grandma smiled: "Senior brother, he doesn't know anything." I'm just handing you over to him in the way of a lonely person. After all, just a ghost king, I still don't feel at ease. β
"I know the temperament of both of you. If you say your thoughts in advance, you will definitely not be able to hide them. She looked at me kindly, "Son, you don't blame grandma, do you?" β
I shook my head again, and grandma was right. When Master didn't let me read my grandmother's letters, the expression was written on my face.
"Master, he's an old man...... Actually, I've always liked you, right? β
As soon as these words came out, a flush crawled on Grandma's face.
Like a twenty-eight-year-old girl, she pursed her lips lightly and nodded: "I really almost married him back then." β
As if she felt that it was a little inappropriate to say this in front of me, my grandmother waved her hand to drive this emotion out of her mind: "Don't talk about him, if I had married this old guy back then, there would be no you now!" β
I fell silent.
All along, in order to avenge my grandmother, I have been following Li Qian's side and investigating Daozun.
Some strange eyes I felt later were probably the result of her secretly following me and watching me silently.
She was always by my side and never left.
"Grandma, since you all know it, you must have made corresponding plans, right?"
The old man in front of me is not just the relatives who raised me, she is strategizing, and everything seems to be under her control.
I have not yet shown the joy of being lost and regained, and I have to face such a serious problem.
"Child, you should be clear that as a walking corpse mother, you are a lonely existence."
Grandma sighed: "In the thousand-year tribulation, what can play a decisive role is how deep your feelings for Li Qian are. That's why grandma endured it and didn't make a move, and kept watching as a bystander. β
"Now his good thoughts are sealed, and his whole person is controlled by his evil thoughts. I expect the world to be at its darkest soon. β
Grandma said, looking out the window.
I noticed that the sky was overcast, as if a storm was coming.
"His current strength is still unstable, and he will need a large number of living souls, while using it as a power, to help him repair his injuries and devour the power of Dao Zun and Yuan Tiangang. On the other hand, his good thoughts will constantly want to break out of the seal and suppress his evil thoughts. In other words, he is now very painful and conflicted. β
"What can I do to help him?"
From my grandmother's words, I could hear that she also supported me to help Li Qian.
"Help Li Qian and find the wisp of residual thoughts he left behind when he was promoted to the Ghost King. Let it be your power, and then use this power as a guide to seal the evil thoughts in his body, and let the good thoughts return to his body again. β
"Li Qian is like a lost child now, you have to help him and work together to get through the difficulties."
I bit my lower lip: "I will, grandma." β
She smiled very happily: "You have always been my good granddaughter. β
My nose was sore, and I threw myself into her arms.
"Grandma, I've always missed you."
The pent-up emotions finally burst out, and I leaned into her arms, savoring the familiar taste.
"Child, as much as I would love to spend more time with you, time is running out, and we have something we have to do."
Grandma pulled me up from her arms and motioned to Ling Xi: "Go and call my senior brother and them." β
Ling Xi nodded and went out, and quickly led Master and Uncle Pei in.
Obviously, they also learned something from my grandmother during the time I passed out.
"Lan Fang, you ......" Master called his grandmother's name, and at this moment his old face seemed to be a little ruddy.
Grandma glared at him: "You old man is not ashamed, come and sit down and get down to business!" β
Master hurriedly nodded and sat over, while Uncle Pei kept covering his mouth and smiling beside him.
Eyes swept over the two senior brothers, and the grandmother spoke: "At this time, I won't say those polite words, just the things that I asked for before, I hope the two senior brothers can agree to fulfill them." β
Pei Shibo's eyes flashed: "Senior sister, it's rare that you still look up to my old bones, people live for a lifetime, and they should have made some contributions." β
Master also nodded: "Lan Fang...... Ah no, junior sister, I said many years ago that this body is reserved for you. Since you are useful, you can take it at any time. β
This was originally a bit ambiguous, but at this time, it sounded like the wind was sluggish and the water was cold.
Based on my understanding of him, Master is very decent on weekdays and never has problems with his life style. What he said to his grandmother was a promise made a long time ago.
Grandma nodded and asked me to stand in the middle of the room, and stood at three angles with Master and Uncle Pei.
A circle lit up under my feet, and in an instant my movements were restrained.
"Grandma, youβwhat are you going to do?"
"Child, remember grandma's words, accept our power, and then go to the place where Li Qian cultivated to become a ghost king, get the residual thoughts left by him, and seal his evil thoughts. In this way, the millennium can be passed! Remember! Remember! β
As soon as I finished speaking, the three of them chanted the incantation at the same time, and a golden power rose from above their heads, and a stream of brains burrowed into my body.
