Chapter 44
"He did get sanctioned, the old man I met earlier." Jun Nuochen said, "That old man is Elder Ye, he appeared when I was most helpless, not only punished that wicked man, but also helped me bury my sister. When he saw that I was pitiful, he asked me to follow him and teach me sorcery. If it weren't for him, I don't know what I would have done when I was young and young. I thank him from the bottom of my heart, and I think that in this world, he is my unrelated relative. "From an orphan who had nothing, to now everyone in the Demon Realm has to respect him, all of this was given to him by Ye Qian.
"Brother Nuochen, I really didn't know you had such a past. Your current status in the Demon Realm is obviously so noble, I always thought ......" An Lengyao was a little at a loss for what to say.
"You think I must be from a prominent family, do you? But, on the contrary, I came from such a poor background that anyone could be bullied. Sometimes, I often think to myself, if I had been strong enough to protect my sister, maybe none of this would have happened. My sister's whole life seems to have been born for me, she suffered for me, but I didn't help her anything, and I lost her life. Jun Nuochen whispered.
"No, Brother Nuochen, you were only four years old at that time, so you couldn't have any strength in the first place. Besides, your sister's death was just an accident, how can I blame you. An Lengyao comforted.
Jun Nuochen looked at the young man in front of him and smiled lightly: "Do you know, Xiao Yao, I have a kind feeling for you at first sight, not only because you are the son of Tiankuo, but also because we have all experienced the loss of relatives and have had a heart-wrenching experience. However, we were not defeated and stood up. The world never shows mercy to the weak. If you want to better protect the people around you and be worthy of the people who have paid for you, you must be strong. ”
An Lengyao nodded: "Brother Nuochen, you are right, I also hope that one day I can be as powerful as you, I don't want my father to be disappointed in me." ”
Jun Nuochen smiled quietly and spoke: "You are now a 'Demon Saint', and no one here dares to despise you, you are already a leader." I believe that Tiankuo will not be disappointed with you. ”
Since Yue Ming officially awarded An Lengyao the title of "Demon Saint" a few days ago, the people in the demon world immediately treated An Lengyao with respect, and no longer dared to disdain him. But An Lengyao knew in his heart that what he wanted was not these false names, he didn't care about power, he only hoped that he could avenge his father with his own strength. As for the rest, it was never his pursuit.
"But there's only one thing I want most." An Lengyao looked at the full moon in the sky and muttered to himself.
Jun Nuochen naturally understood what this young man was thinking, he hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Xiao Yao, I don't want to hide it from you, in fact, today is your father's sacrifice day. ”
An Lengyao was stunned and didn't answer for a long time.
After a long time, he whispered softly: "It turns out that it is today." As his son, I don't know anything about his past, not even the date of his death. ”
"Brother Nuochen, can you tell me about my father, as long as you know, can you tell me everything. When I was very young, I asked him what his identity was in the Demon Realm, but he didn't want to say more, he only said that when I grew up, he would naturally say. But now, I know I can't wait for the day when he tells me personally. An Lengyao said.
Jun Nuochen was slightly stunned, everything about An Tiankuo had to be repeatedly considered in front of An Lengyao before he could say it. An Lengyao is already smart, and he is afraid that his words will expose the past that he has carefully hidden.
However, looking at the lonely and lonely appearance of the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but feel that this was a child who missed his late father, An Lengyao had no right to know the truth of the matter, couldn't he even satisfy his desire to know his father?
Moreover, for some of the records of the Demon Realm, Jun Nuochen knew that everything about An Tiankuo had been erased. In addition to the "Records of the Demon World", which has required a complete record of the events of the Demon World since ancient times, there have been traces of An Tiankuo, and it is only an anonymous record, which is absolutely difficult for others to detect.
So, on this night, in the tenth year of An Tiankuo's death, Jun Nuochen faced that person's son and finally told this person everything An Lengyao should have known a long time ago.
At that time, Jun Nuochen thought that as long as he didn't tell An Lengyao the secret that couldn't be mentioned, then it would be okay to tell him everything else. He has always done things without revealing anything and taking the overall situation into account. But only this time, he really did it wrong......
A few days ago, An Lengyao borrowed from Yue Ming the "History of the Demon World" that he had seen when he went to Yue Ming's study. Now that he has been named the "Demon Saint", his status is not what it used to be, and he thinks that he should also learn as much as possible about the Demon Realm, so that he can also help Yue Ming in the future.
"Alas, Yao, I've really never seen someone as hard as you." Yue Ming smiled and walked towards An Lengyao, who was sitting on a chair reading a book.
An Lengyao put down the book in his hand and smiled slightly: "Ming, you came just in time, I have some questions I want to ask." ”
"Me?" Yue Ming raised his eyebrows, "I didn't think you would have something you didn't understand, okay, I'll listen to you." He said, sitting opposite An Lengyao.
An Lengyao turned to a certain page of the book in his hand and handed it to Yue Ming: "I found that the records in the "History of the Demon Realm" are all people who have played an important role in the Demon World throughout the ages, right? ”
"Of course, this book is the historical facts of the Demon Realm, but you also know that among the six realms, the Demon Realm and the God Realm have the longest history, and many strange things have happened here, because the number is huge, it is impossible to record them one by one, so the Demon Realm has deleted this, and the people recorded in this historical record are all people with status here." Yue Ming explained.
"But ......," An Lengyao pointed to a passage in the book, "'During the reign of the demon king Yue Xuan, there was a traitor, so he killed him. 'It is not uncommon for your father to reign for so many years, and to slay those who do wrong. At that time, there were traitors in the Demon Realm in the past dynasties, and because we Demon Realm people have a long lifespan, and the reign of the current Demon King is longer, there are not a few traitors who have been killed among them. If you want to do what you mean, only a few people who have a significant position in the Demon Realm are recorded here, why is this 'traitor' mentioned here? ”
Yue Ming was stunned, he had read this book more than a hundred times before, because every king had to know everything about his ruling position, but he really didn't think about what An Lengyao said. It stands to reason that traitors are really not important figures and are not qualified to be recorded in history, and the Demon Realm has always been precise, and the chroniclers who have been in charge of the historical records for generations have been strictly trained to prevent misremarks or unnecessary information when recording history.
Well, there is only one possibility......
"I don't think the 'traitor' recorded is as simple as it is described, and he will not be just this identity. Perhaps, he was a person with an identity background before. Yue Ming said slowly.
An Lengyao nodded: "However, this doesn't make sense, I have been looking through this book in the past few days and found that the characters recorded here have described their lives in more detail, and there is no mention of anyone who has rebelled." Could it be that the recorder was careless, and a clerical error was made at the moment? ”
"It is impossible, after the historical records of the past dynasties are recorded, they must go through the above review, and the accuracy of the history must be ensured to avoid mistakes. It takes several reviews to pass the test. "I've heard my mother say that she was the one in charge of reviewing the history of my father's generation, so I'll tell you when I ask her that question." However, this is all a matter of the previous generation, and even if we know the truth of this matter, it has nothing to do with us. Yue Ming said and yawned lazily, not caring about An Lengyao's question.
An Lengyao didn't say much, but his hand holding the book trembled slightly. He suddenly remembered what Jun Nuochen had told him about his father last night:
"Tiankuo is really a very proud person, I have read countless people in my life, and I have never seen a person like him, so empty-eyed; But he does have the capital of pride. You may not know that Yue Ming's father Yue Xuan used him very heavily at that time, so his status here at that time was 'below one person, above ten thousand'......"
If his father really has supremacy, as Jun Nochen claims, then why does this book not mention his father nowhere in the history of the illustrious figures?
His eyes suddenly saw the three words "Killing" in the book, and his heart was suddenly startled, and he was startled by one of his thoughts for a moment, but he immediately denied what he thought.
An Lengyao raised his head and looked at Yue Ming's handsome face, and for the first time had an inexplicable feeling: they will not be like this soon......
In the next few days, An Lengyao went to the library of the demon world every day, and when Yue Ming asked him, he only smiled and said that he was going to find some classics to guide the practice of spells, but the real purpose was only known to him. He searched around for the books left by Yue Xuan's generation, and he wanted to find out about that era. His instincts told him that if he could learn more about the history of that time, he might be able to come up with the answer he was looking for.
But after all, he didn't tell Yue Ming about this idea in his heart. For some reason, this time, he didn't want anyone to meddle in the matter, and he wanted to find out everything about his father with his own efforts.
However, after several days of unremitting searching, he still found nothing. He had searched through almost all the anthologies in the Demon Realm, but none of them mentioned An Tiankuo or any information related to it.
His mind is very messy, and avenging his father has been his only goal since he was a child. Over the years, he has indeed never stopped pursuing the truth about his father's death. And now, when he finally felt that he was close to the truth, he had found nothing. Could it be that he was too anxious, where did he think wrong?
