Chapter 138: The Bottom Line
"But...... But......" It took me a long time before I came to my senses and stammered, "but even so, I still don't do anything to anyone else." What are they robbing the Blood Furnace for? ”
Yue Ning smiled faintly, as if he was afraid of startling me again, and said softly: "It's very simple, they don't know that the true secret of the Blood Rock Furnace is like this. ”
As soon as I heard this, my head "buzzed", and I almost fell to the ground!
It's unreasonable! It's like you have a cup in your hand, and others don't hesitate to beat you to pieces in order to grab it, in fact, only you know best in your heart that the cup is filled with arsenic at all!
But the funny thing is that even if you tell people that it's arsenic, he doesn't listen, and thinks you're just stingy and doesn't want to give him the baby!
From this point of view, this biggest unjust case in history is more appropriate to award to the Tao family than to Dou E!
I couldn't help but sigh. According to my previous design, I wanted to draw everyone's attention away from us, and by the way, let those forces fight among themselves. But I don't know why, this plan actually failed, and the Digging Troupe still came straight to me without the slightest hesitation! And what about the others? It's hard to say whether it will target us in the future.
In any case, I still know too little about the Digging Regiment, and if I can't know myself and the enemy, this battle will be difficult to win.
"When those three eunuchs fought with you before, you seemed to know each other before, didn't you?" I then asked Yue Ningmei.
She nodded and said: "Well, when my father was an official in the court in the past, he was in charge of the collation and analysis of some historical materials related to immortality. ”
"Could it be that Ling Zun is the long history of Yue Ling Songyue, who was once called 'Strange History'?" Wang Shaoting suddenly interjected and asked.
Yue Ning smiled and nodded, "Well, he does seem to have such a title." ”
"When I was a child, I heard my father say that they usually need to obtain a lot of information when they do research, and there is a Yue Changshi in the Taifu Mansion who has given them a lot of help, and the materials he provides are basically lost by the people for many years, and I don't know where to get them. Not only that, but he was also very obsessed with studying these things, to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, so he was called so by everyone. Wang Shaoting said.
"I'm sorry you went to that tournament to revisit your father's resume, right?" I asked Yue Ning with a smile.
"Well, part of the reason for that, a large part of the box of books they brought at that time was left by my father, and I really feel so kind when I look at it......" Her eyes flashed, as if she was caught in a memory.
Even the silk book detailing the Blood Rock Furnace can be obtained, and this Yue Changshi is really worthy of the name of "Strange Masters of Different History".
"I went to the Taifu Mansion for a few days later, why didn't I see your father?" I asked again.
But I saw Rui Wei glaring at me fiercely beside me, and I was stunned.
"He was later dismissed from office, took his family to the countryside, and later died of illness." Yue Ningmei said calmly as if he didn't mind.
Then I remembered that she seemed to have talked about "getting involved in some incident" just now, and I couldn't help but feel that my question was really abrupt.
"What are the origins of those three eunuchs? Why is it so powerful? "I tried to change the subject.
"Those three people were originally the emperor's cronies, but later they set up their own doors and became the backbone of the Digging Youth Troupe, supporting their own forces." Yue Ningmei said.
"Well, I've heard this before, they tracked down the Blood Rock Furnace not to give it to the emperor, but to keep it for themselves." I say.
Yue Ning nodded and said, "The father-in-law Qin among them, named Qin Mushu, is good at mimicry, and I heard that he can be in the nail board of the clamp and be unscathed; The father-in-law Zhen who used the whip, called Zhen Fade, had a violent temperament and was invulnerable; There is also that Zhan Gong, named Zhan Yansa, in addition to being good at spells, he is also very talented, and it is said that he can create a puppet that is exactly like a real person. ”
"I think that the one surnamed Zhen and the surname Qin were beaten quite badly by you at the beginning, but soon they can completely return to their original appearance, I'm afraid it's that Gonggong Zhan did something to them." I think back to that time, and I can still remember the shock.
"Yes, that's why I said that the most terrifying thing is that Zhan Gonggong." Yue Ningmei said.
"Listen to you, there's a good chance they're coming to capture you to do the immortality they want through you, right?" I asked.
She groaned for a moment and said, "I'm afraid so." ”
"......," I suddenly asked a very bold question, "are you sure you can get it done?" ”
She was stunned, looked at me, smiled and said, "Yes." ”
Her one-word answer was so simple, but Rui Wei, Wang Shaoting, and I were all taken aback, and they all looked at her with an incredible eye.
"But life and death have fate, and the way of heaven determines it, whether it is the art of immortality or the art of reincarnation, it is all going against the way of heaven, and there is a price to pay." She added.
"At what cost?" We all asked curiously.
"The cost of life." As if in deep thought, she slowly uttered a phrase that seemed familiar to me, "Sacrifice, eternal life." ”
Those who are sacrificed will have eternal life. This sentence once again reminded me of the young master of the Liu family who fell into madness for the sake of immortality, and the Liu Zhi who was in a high position, but was fascinated by the dream of immortality.
"You mean that if a person wants to live forever, he needs to pay for other people's lives, don't you?" I asked.
"Yes."
Really...... Yue Ningmei's answer coincided with my previous hunch.
Human life, to put it bluntly, is nothing but a kind of energy, and since it is energy, it can theoretically flow, increase or decrease, and transform. That's why there have always been descriptions of the so-called afterlife, which believe that after death, the soul energy does not disappear, but continues to exist in another place. In this case, how do we know that this person who is alive in this life cannot borrow more energy from elsewhere to sustain a longer existence?
It's just that this matter always makes people a little naturally resistant, if a person, no matter who he is, gets this kind of power and can control life freely, even if it is just one person, what kind of chaos will the world become?
I looked at Yue Ningmei, under that beautiful face that was always calm, how strong a will must be hidden to be able to afford such a great ability, not to be tempted by it, and not to be afraid of it? (To be continued.) )
