Chapter Twenty-Nine: Puzzle Clearing
Wang Shen smiled: "This is thanks to the dead Su Jingzhi." ”
"What are you doing thanks to him? Uncle Wang, what you said really confused me. Xu Chen was confused.
In the bedroom on the top floor of the tower where Su Jingzhi lived, there were many boxes containing precious Chinese medicine and alchemy materials that he had collected over the years. Wang Shen smiled and motioned for him to drink the potion in the bowl. "When you strayed into another world, I had turned them all over, including the monkey ginger grass, which is specially used to treat bone and tendons, so I could barely connect your severed arm. ”
"So that's the case, thank you, Uncle Wang......" Xu Chen muttered with a wry smile.
"Don't worry, just because my medical skills are poor doesn't mean that others can't. When you're well-energized, I'll take you to a doctor who should be able to get your left hand back to normal. ”
"I hope so, but ......" Xu Chen hesitated, and stopped talking.
"Just ask, I know you have a lot of doubts. ”
"Uncle Wang, don't you know how to use spells, how can you cast the Thousand-Mile-Miles Sound Transmission Technique on me from a long distance and teach me to defeat Hu Yukun? Moreover, how do you know Hu Yukun's weakness, and that evil god is not the Emperor Jiang himself?"
"There are so many questions, I have to answer them one by one, it takes time. It took a long time before Wang Shen answered.
"Then let's start with your Thousand Miles Transmission Technique. ”
"Have you forgotten that I have a very powerful senior brother?" Wang Shen smiled with a narrow smile on his face.
"Master of Clearance!" Xu Chen suddenly realized, and then said: "The master will definitely have this stunt, he taught you, right?"
"No, you guessed it wrong. This spell was taught to me by my almost omnipotent master, but my brother learned it before me. Wang Shen added: "The Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Technique does not need to drive True Qi, and ordinary people can learn ......."
"Since that's the case, can Uncle Wang teach me?" Xu Chen said in a flattering tone.
Wang Shen glanced at him meaningfully and said, "Ordinary people can indeed learn it, but most of them can't, because this spell requires extremely high talent. ”
"Ah, that's right!" Xu Chen muttered in response, a look of disappointment.
"The reason why I said that guy is not the Emperor Jiang himself is because you, like me, know that the artifact that sealed the Emperor River is not the Xuanwu Shield. ”
"That's right!" Xu Chen remembered what happened before, sighed and said, "It was the Vermilion Bird Sword that sealed him, and it has nothing to do with the Xuanwu Shield. ”
"The legend does describe it like this, but after thousands of years, who knows if it's true or not? What I can be sure of is that there is no connection between the Xuanwu Shield and Dijiang, so I concluded that the mysterious figure is not Dijiang himself. ”
After a pause, Wang Shen continued: "But it is true that this guy manipulated everything in the alien dimension, making you hallucinate all the time in your eyes. You killed Su Jingzhi's two subordinates, and you have broken the illusion it created, but this guy's ability is too strong, after you entered the small building where Hu Yukun cultivated, he created a new illusion in your mind, but you didn't realize it. ”
"No wonder you asked me to use the demon clan's method to cultivate, it turned out to be so that I could see the truth. Xu Chen seemed to feel something.
"Yes. Wang Shen nodded and said: "Hu Yukun's cultivation is far stronger than yours, if you are confused by the illusion created by the mastermind behind the scenes, then this battle has not yet begun, and you have no chance of winning." ”
"According to Uncle Wang, this guy is really a monster, otherwise how could I see everything in the way of the demon clan. ”
"Perhaps, I don't know who he is. But I can tell you clearly, this guy who created the illusion is just a remnant of his mind. ”
"Remnants?" Xu Chen was stunned, this was a result he didn't expect.
"Yes. Although it displays unparalleled power, it has no substance, because it is not a real existence at all. ”
Xu Chen asked in surprise: "Uncle Wang is saying that the mastermind behind the scenes has not shown his true identity, and he is just controlling all this remotely?"
"It's possible, but I'm more inclined to a different point of view. ”
"Is there any other possibility?" Xu Chen was even more confused, he felt that the concepts Wang Shen said were beyond the scope of his cognition.
"A long time ago, this guy left his own message on the Xuanwu Shield, so after Su Jingzhi got the fragment of the Xuanwu Shield, he inadvertently used some kind of ritual to stimulate this guy's residual thoughts. ”
Wang Shen talked eloquently and told all the causes and consequences of his speculation, and Xu Chen came to his senses and understood what kind of confusing past was hidden behind this seemingly mysterious and strange thing.
After this remnant of unknown origin was released by Su Jingzhi, in order to repay him, he promised to teach the supreme mastery, and deliberately opened up a different dimension, making it a cultivation place for Hu Yukun.
Su Jingzhi saw that this mysterious figure had such profound divine power, and mistakenly thought that he had liberated the Dijiang imprisoned in the Xuanwu Shield, of course, it was also possible that the mysterious figure bewitched Su Jingzhi and made him delusional.
But in either case, Su Jingzhi had a bad idea after the surprise, and he decided to use the power of God to complete his revenge.
Not only did he want his beloved apprentice to learn an amazing spell, but he also wanted to take all the power of Di Jiang for himself, so he sealed this so-called god in another dimension, and then used evil magic to transform its power into Hu Yukun's body little by little, until all its surplus value was squeezed out.
His plan is perfect, on the one hand, to seize the power of the gods, on the other hand, to find the whereabouts of the Xuanwu Shield, if Hu Yukun has all the power of that god, and gets the Xuanwu Shield, Su Jingji's desire for revenge can naturally be easily achieved, and then I am afraid that no one in the world will be able to compete with it.
But people are not as good as heaven, the arrival of Xu Chen and Wang Shen shattered Su Jingzhi's ambitions, and when Wang Shen found the switch to the different dimensional space on the top floor of the tower, that is, the statue of the god of Dijiang, it was already clear that Su Jingzhi's conspiracy would definitely go bankrupt.
"It's really dangerous!" Xu Chen sighed, finally understanding that Hu Yukun's spell cultivation would be so weird.
He was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "But when did Uncle Wang discover Su Jingzhi's conspiracy?"
"From the beginning, I saw that the mountain king Ye Tianxiong was a puppet, so I became suspicious. Later, when I had the first conversation with Su Jingzhi, he offered to cooperate with us in finding the Xuanwu Shield, and I realized that something was wrong. ”
"No wonder you have the ability to pry open the lock of your cell but deliberately stay, it turns out that you just want to cast a long line to catch big fish. ”
"Sort of, more importantly, I'm curious how he can recognize at a glance that the fragment in your hand is from the Xuanwu Shield. At that time, I didn't know that he still had a fragment in his hand, but I also guessed that this person had a deep relationship with the Xuanwu Shield, and I couldn't just walk away. ”
"Uncle Wang, this is different from your usual style, it used to be a bit of a storm, but you ran faster than anyone else. Xu Chen laughed.
"Protecting one's life is of course the best choice in life, but it also depends on the specific situation. Wang Shen replied noncommittally, saying, "Actually, I sneaked out of the cell while you were sleeping and carefully surveyed the demon tower. Although I found the mechanism to open another world, I didn't dare to enter it alone, so I went back to the prison and dragged you on an adventure. ”
"Hehe, I know that the old problem will not change. Your previous performance was so good, it made me think that your timid personality in the past was all pretended. ”
Wang Shen smiled evilly and said: "I can't say that, if I go in alone, I will definitely die, although your spell is not too strong, but after all, you can still deal with it." ”
"You said it so easily, I almost lost my life. Xu Chen then asked: "I fought hard with Hu Yukun several times, but I couldn't see any weaknesses in him, how did you find out?"
"Again, I have a master who is almost omnipotent. ”
Seeing that Xu Chen hadn't comprehended it yet, Wang Shen continued: "Master saw that I was unwilling to concentrate on cultivation, so he taught me the more practical secret techniques of the five elements of yin and yang, and Qimen gossip. It's enough for me to walk the rivers and lakes and see through anyone's cultivation level and spell flaws. ”
Xu Chen said with envy: "No wonder when I couldn't cultivate in Mingyue Mountain Villa before, you brought a message to Zhuang Ding and asked him to tell me the secret of cultivation! Uncle Wang, I really didn't expect you to have such a skill." ”
"Now that I've made the whole thing clear, you can take care of your injuries and stop thinking nonsense. Wang Shen replied lightly.
"But...... I still have a question I don't understand. Although Wang Shen's explanation was reasonable, Xu Chen couldn't turn a corner.
"What's your problem?"
"At that time, I was in another dimension, you were in the real world, how could Uncle Wang know everything that happened to me there, so as to guide me to defeat Hu Yukun?"
"This is actually something I didn't think of beforehand. Wang Shen sighed with emotion and said, "When you were swept into another dimension, I cleverly dodged the past. But what happened next was completely unexpected. ”
"You've been through strange things in the tower, too?"
"I don't know what it was, but suddenly a circular aura glowing with golden light appeared, and it was suspended above the statue of the god of Dijiang. I saw an active mirror image reflected in the ring, and it turned out to be your every move in another dimension. ”
"So, you can see my whereabouts?"
"Yes, otherwise how could I guide you to defeat Hu Yukun in time. Actually, I wasn't sure at first, because I was worried that the Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Technique wouldn't be able to reach the other dimension, but now it seems that this is all too much to worry about. ”
"Strange, why does Su Jingzhi have such an aura in his bedroom?"
"I've heard that the gods of Gushu Mountain have been secretly circulating a spell for hundreds of years, and it's called the Circular Light Technique. Su Jingzhi was originally a person who shot the Divine Mountain, maybe the aura I saw was a specific manifestation of the Circular Light Technique. ”
Xu Chen had heard Master Nangong Muyang say that the Yuanguang Technique was a high-level spell that could track down other people's information.
The caster uses mana to draw a circle on a wall, in water, or somewhere, and then recites the corresponding incantation, which will reveal various images and trace the current whereabouts of the person they want to seek.
It is said that those advanced practitioners who have opened the Xuan Eye can transmit messages to the people who track them inside the ring through the circles they draw, perhaps this is the reason why Wang Shen's voice transmission technique can reach Xu Chen's ears clearly and unmistakably.
After Xu Chen figured this out, he had a new question in his heart, so he asked again: "Since you know my movements through the aura in the tower, how can you later appear in the alien space and rescue me?"
"Do you have to ask such a simple question?" Wang Shen said with a smile, "You can step into the other world through that Dijiang Divine Statue, can't I use it to go in and save you?"
After struggling with such a simple truth for a long time, Xu Chen couldn't help blushing, but he still asked unwillingly: "You really didn't lie to me?"
Before Wang Shen could answer, the closed door was pushed open, and a loud voice answered for him: "I can testify that what Wang Daxia said is true." ”
