Chapter 813: Living Force
I suddenly frowned: "Living power? β
Wu Lin nodded: "Well, have you heard of the five elders of the Funeral Sect?" β
I shook my head at first, then responded, "Five Elders? As far as I know, there is only one elder with real power in the Funeral Sect, and that is the Zhou Tianshi I met in Baiwu Mountain. And I heard my uncle say that Zhou Tianshi was originally the great protector of the funeral sect, but later Liu Wenhui was captured, and the internal structure of the funeral sect changed on a large scale, and Zhou Tianshi changed from a great protector to a great elder. β
Wu Lin: "Zhou Tianshi is indeed the only one of the five elders who holds real power, and the remaining four elders, although they have no real power in their hands, once Luo Zhongxing summons them, they will all serve their lives." Now that Master Zhou Tianshi is dead, Luo Zhongxing and I are already strangers, and there are still three elders left in the funeral sect. β
In other words, he is also one of the five elders.
We have investigated the Funeral Sect for so long, and we have never heard of any of the five elders, and now that I have also met Wu Lin, I know that there is still a person like him in the Funeral Sect, and Zhou Tianshi used to be a mysterious figure who could not see the head and end of the dragon, and it seems that the remaining three elders are also like them, their whereabouts are hidden and powerful.
Just when I was thinking about which of the hidden cultivators in the line might be the elders of the Burial Sect, Wu Lin directly gave me an answer that was not an answer: "The remaining three people, their cultivation is much stronger than Zhou Tianshi, one of them is Tian'er Tong, one is Xinyantong, and the other is a natural spirit fetus, these three people have never walked around outside, so I only know some general information about them, and I have never seen a real person." β
I asked Wu Lin, "Are they also people in our industry?" β
At this time, the fish soup in the pot was boiling, making a gurgling sound of hot water rolling, Wu Lin took the hot cauldron off the stove rack, and handed me the soup spoon: "Eat directly in the pot, there are no bowls in this place." β
I opened the lid of the pot, and the fragrant fish soup stimulated my taste buds, so that I didn't have the heart to pay attention to the temperature of the fish soup, and drank it in a big gulp, even if my tongue was numb, but I couldn't stop.
No way, so hungry.
Wu Lin continued next to me: "You asked the wrong person about this, I don't know much about your business, and I don't know if they are the people in it. By the way, there's one thing I'm curious about. β
I looked up at him and motioned for him to have something to say.
Wu Lin folded his arms and asked, "Why didn't Luo Zhongxing put you to death?" And after he saw you, I felt that he had become very abnormal, like he had lost his mind. β
I put down the soup spoon in my hand: "Isn't Luo Zhongxing usually like this?" β
Wu Lin immediately shook his head: "Of course not, I've been with him for so many years, this guy has always been scheming, he is an old fox." Did you see the flares and candles I left behind in the tomb? This is also suggested by Luo Zhongxing, he said, even if you don't leave these two things, you can still find Yin Jade, but if you leave these things, your thinking will be disturbed, and the judgment you make later will be prone to errors. As long as you make mistakes, it's easier for us to get it. β
I said, "Planting Gu on Liang Houzai's body is also Luo Zhongxing's strategy?" β
Wu Lin: "Yes, in addition to doing my own thing over the years, I am also responsible for helping Luo Zhongxing collect intelligence outside, he knows that your friend surnamed Liang has a high IQ, and planting Gu on him is to prevent his intelligence from playing a role." Luo Zhongxing said, if you let him go, it is very likely that you will see through our plan before you find Yin Yu. β
Recall that we have climbed the Xiaotian Mountain so far, under Luo Zhongxing's calculations, we have continued to take the wrong path, and our eyes have been diverted again and again, first suspecting Wu Lin, and then suspecting Tusi, and finally a Renqing popped out of thin air, attracting all our attention to the past, although I also suspected the next Dan Dawu during the period, but after all, I didn't put too much thought on him.
From beginning to end, we have always been mired in the puzzle laid out by Luo Zhongxing, and we were led by the nose. If he really was a madman, it seemed unlikely that he would have come up with such a scheme, one ring after another, each of which caught people off guard.
At this time, Wu Lin spoke again: "I always feel that there seems to be something on your body that has affected Luo Zhongxing, not your jade seal, but your own...... How to say it, it seems that it is the unique temperament of your body that affects Luo Zhongxing's mind. β
I was puzzled: "What temperament?" β
Wu Lin thought for a while and said, "You have a kind of ...... It feels like you're going to hurt someone at any moment, it's a kind of power, but it's not a normal power. Let's put it this way, I feel that this temperament in you is more like a murderous aura, but it is deliberately suppressed and cannot be completely released at any time and under any circumstances. β
"Why don't I feel it myself?"
"Normally, the special temperament on your body can usually only be felt by others," Wu Lin said: "In my opinion, this trait in your body is not innate, it should be practiced by you all year round." β
His words reminded me, I remember when I was a child, I was afraid of my master, but also because the master had a strong power, and I thought about it along his lines, the power of my master was very similar to the power of Old Lady Huang and Luo Laohan.
And I also know that the power of Old Lady Huang and Old Man Luo is born from the murderous aura on their bodies, and I can't forget the first time I saw Old Lady Huang, I was glanced at by his steel-like eyes, and it felt like there was a blade on my neck.
Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the techniques and kung fu practiced by each generation of Zhengmen people cannot be said to be exactly the same, at least they are extremely similar, and my temperament is similar to that of my master, also because of the same inheritance and similar experience.
So I'm thinking, maybe when the First Ancestor and Zhou Lie passed those spells to the Shouzheng First Line, they expected what would happen today, and the First Ancestor probably also thought that the future generations of disciples cultivated in this way could affect Luo Zhongxing's mind to a certain extent.
Thinking of this, I confirmed with Wu Lin again: "Are you sure that it is me who has an impact on Luo Zhongxing, not the Fantian seal on my body?" β
Wu Lin nodded affirmatively: "Definitely." I'm not like you people in the cultivation circle, I can sense any yin and yang, but I can feel the unique aura and temperament of people, I believe that I won't look away, Luo Zhongxing is influenced by you yourself to go crazy. β
I thought about it for a moment and said, "But after he swallowed Yin Jade, some changes have occurred in his whole person. Has Luo Zhongxing eaten Yin jade in the past? β
Wu Lin: "Luo Zhongxing ate that kind of jade again?" Every time he eats that jade, he changes a little, but I can't say what kind of change it is, but I feel like he's becoming more like himself, and he seems to be less like himself. In fact, I always feel that Luo Zhongxing may have two completely opposite personalities in his mind, the explicit personality is evil, and the implicit personality is good, as if every time he swallows jade, the hidden personality is in danger of disappearing. β
I stared into Wu Lin's eyes and asked him, "You have been following Luo Zhongxing, why didn't you stop him?" β
Wu Lin stared at me for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Zuo Youdao, you don't really think of me as someone from your side, right?" Okay, I know, in your world, there is a clear boundary between good and evil, do you think Luo Zhongxing is on the evil side, and if I go against him, I am on the good side? Alas, should I call you naΓ―ve, or should I call you stupid. β
A middleman.
He said this to tell me that he was just an intermediary and did not belong to any party.
Seriously, I couldn't understand the mentality of people like Wu Lin, so I asked him: "But why are you helping us, it's really just that Luo Zhongxing is not pleasing to the eye?" β
Wu Lin sighed, and then said to me with a smile: "I'm a mercenary, and I can't afford to be early. If Luo Zhongxing is allowed to continue like this, the whole world will be finished, and I will definitely be affected, so someone needs to stop him. β
I raised my chin at him: "Then why don't you stop him, can't Luo Zhongxing do anything to you?" β
"He just can't do anything to me for the time being," Wu Lin said, "but I can't do anything to him either." What's more, once he finds my weakness, it will be a dead end for me to fight him. I'm not as noble as you are, sacrificing myself for others. β
I leaned on the ground half-lying and half-sitting, and let out a long breath: "I see. β
Wu Lin: "Luo Zhongxing is jealous of you, although he doesn't want to admit it, but he is really jealous of you, so I think you may have a way to deal with him." But I still can't understand why he didn't kill you. β
I hugged the back of my head with both hands, lay down the whole body, and responded to Wu Lin: "I don't know, maybe he lost his mind and made a wrong judgment." β
Wu Lin shook his head: "Impossible, Luo Zhongxing never makes mistakes, even in that case, he will not make wrong decisions." β
After that, neither Wu Lin nor I spoke again, and when the heavy tiredness came back to me, my eyelids closed uncontrollably.
I spent the night falling from the top of the snow-capped mountain in a deep sleep, and when the noon sun of the next day warmed up the vast expanse of snow, I was woken up by the voices of Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai.
The two of them were eating, and in addition to a large pot of cloth fish soup, there were also a few coarse grain cakes beside the fireplace.
Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai probably just woke up, and the strong hunger pangs made them very uncivilized when eating, and the sound of gulping and chewing filled the entire room.
Wu Lin sat on the side, a cigar in his mouth, his eyes looking at the snow-capped mountains outside, not knowing what he was thinking.
When I sat up, I made a little noise, Wu Lin turned his head and said to me, "Hurry up and eat something, and leave when you are done, and I will send you back to the village." β
I saw that he was fully dressed, and that the fur bag in the corner was open, and I saw that the bag was full of bullets, and there was a sniper rifle standing next to the fur pouch.
Seeing these things, I immediately frowned, Wu Lin saw the change in my face, smiled, and said to me: "I still have my own business, after sending you back to the village, I will leave." It's still the old saying, from now on, we will be separated by the end of the world, and the well water will not interfere with the river water. β
I pointed to the leather bag, "You're illegally possessing a firearm." β
"I know the nature of your department," Wu Lin said with a smile, "and the illegal possession of guns is not your responsibility." Besides, even if I am illegally armed with a gun, what can you do to me, what can you do to me in the current state of the three of you? β
We really can't do anything to him, affected by the mental power on Luo Zhongxing's body, I still feel that my body is very weak, and it is difficult to move, let alone do it to Wu Lin. Even I am like this, Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai are definitely in worse condition than me, so when I was talking to Wu Lin, the two of them didn't intervene at all.
Then Wu Lin pointed to the soup pot again: "Hurry up and eat, and go on the road after eating." β
I sighed inwardly and leaned over to the fireplace.
