Chapter Thirty-Eight: Momoyama Night Talk
The breeze and the moon are bright, and the fairy mist gathers and disperses.
Xunguan is still the scholarly shirt he wore in the secret realm, quiet and calm, and he couldn't see the wind and dust of long-distance travel. He looked at Xie Yundu, who was lying on the branch with a lazy face, thoughtfully.
Xie Yundu crossed Erlang's legs, yawned and said, "Nerd Xun, what are you doing with me again this month when the dark wind is high? ”
Xun Guan smiled silently, and said lightly: "Today, I know that the cultivators of the Little Mysteries Realm will also be sleepy...... Looks like you're determined to protect the man. ”
Xie Yundu casually pulled a ball of branches and leaves over his face, waved his hand impatiently and said, "I knew that I came to ask him - it's too late, it's too late, it's too late, the person has already gone away, and I don't know where he is going - you can give up." ”
Xun Guan said quietly: "Xie Yundu, do you know - why did I go out of the secret realm to find you when I knew that it was impossible to catch up with him?"
"How would I know? Xie Yundu smiled indifferently, glanced obliquely and said, "Instead of asking for trouble and trying to guess your Xun nerd's mind, it's better to find a girl to have a little wine and be happy." ”
Xun Guan didn't say the reason first, but asked, "Then do you know who that person is?"
"He-" Xie Yundu was stunned, turned over and sat up, slapped his leg and shouted, "Damn, I really forgot to ask!"
For the first time, Xie Yundu felt that he seemed to be a little unreliable—how could the one in the secret realm barely be regarded as a friend of life and death, right? As a result, in the end, apart from knowing that it was a phoenix clan, he didn't even know the name......
Xun Guan only raised his eyes, not surprised at all; Xie Yundu, this person, didn't help anyone who was pleasing to the eye? He had long been used to it. Xun Guan sighed with emotion: "Your ability to cause trouble is first-class, but your vision of people is not very good. After a pause, his voice turned cold: "He is Cheng Yuan." ”
"Cheng Yuan?" Xie Yundu was stunned, recalling the commotion after leaving the secret realm, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, holding his stomach and saying, "What are you kidding! If Cheng Yuan had one-tenth of that kid's character, would the Divine Domain still be in chaos like this?"
Although Taoshan is detached, it is also a "mountain" in the divine domain, and Xie Yundu has naturally heard of that Chengyuan's style.
Xun Guan didn't argue with him about this, but said calmly: "When you were in the secret realm, from the Blue Pavilion to your departure, it was such a short journey, and the word Emperor Qi had already ranked fourth in potential. He looked at Xie Yundu and smiled: "The body of the person you shouted 'Seventh Brother' is just a Feng clan who is less than seventeen years old. ”
Xie Yundu glared, but his first reaction was-"Damn, he's only seventeen, ah, not sixteen?!"
Xun watched him without speaking, his eyes were contemplative.
Xie Yundu sighed, his expression became serious, he thought about it again, and said, "I think you made a mistake this time." No matter what his age, his personality is really very different - unless it is Cheng Yuan who has been misread from the beginning. ”
Xie Yundu shook his head again when he said this, because he remembered that Lu Qiming didn't understand many common senses in the Divine Domain, if it was Chengyuan, who had been back to the Feng Clan for four years, it would definitely not be like him. But Xie Yundu didn't elaborate on this, only said: "I really asked him if he was Cheng Yuan before, and he denied it - neither he nor Cheng Yuan looked like people who would cover it up in this regard." Besides, I could tell he was telling the truth. ”
Xun Guan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Character can be easily faked. Xie Yundu, don't tell me that you don't know what the 'sixteen-year-old Feng Clan' looks like normally - the little prince of the Dragon Clan has lived for twenty years now! In a special case like Cheng Yuan, there is no one who has ever appeared before, and if there is a second one at the same time, the age is not bad at all - such a coincidental thing, do you think it is possible?"
Xie Yundu was silent for a while.
Xun Guan continued: "The sixteen-year-old Feng clan, the body of the mortal, those exercises and methods that are self-taught, and the masterminds behind the tragedies in the Divine Domain—there is only one explanation for these, and Cheng Yuan is the 'Nine Generations' of this Yanji. ”
Xie Yundu let out a breath and muttered, "Nine generations?"
Every new 10,000 years—that is, at the turn of the epochs, when fortune turns turbulently, and the barriers of time and space are the weakest—a cultivator with a soul from another world and memories of a past life will appear.
When the first "generation" first appeared, people scribbled it as a genius, because people could not have imagined that such a whimsical thing would happen. Later, the emergence of the "second generation", "third generation" and so on, coupled with their own admissions, people knew that there were people in the world who kept the memories of their previous lives, and there were other worlds as well.
Nowadays, the alchemy, magic weapons, and all kinds of exquisite skills that the people of the God Domain have long been accustomed to come from them.
But it is impossible for the soul of another world to pass through the barrier of time and space for no reason, but to be reincarnated and reborn in such a distant place. All of this is the will of the Alliance of Cultivators led by the Three Spirit Clan.
Now that eight generations have passed, its purpose is clear - the Spirit Alliance needs these souls from another world to rescue a "big man" in a way unique to another world.
Xie Yundu once asked the ancestor how big the "big man" was, and he still remembered that at that moment, the ancestor's expression became extremely solemn, and he said seriously-"It's as big as the sky."
When the time comes, it is indeed time for the ninth person - that is, the "nine generations" to be born.
Xie Yundu's brows furrowed, recalling the location where he first met Lu Qiming in the secret realm, Lu Qiming's concern for the name "Feng Lingru", and his always destination was the Daoist branch of Zhongzhou, and he had never returned to the Feng Clan......
He couldn't help but blurt out: "It must be the 'Nine Generations' who took his identity! If it was the 'Nine Generations', maybe there would really be a way to hide it from the Feng Clan—and he was the real Prince of the Feng Clan." ”
Xun Guan listened patiently before sneering: "Then what do you mean that there are two nine generations?
Xie Yundu was speechless again, and he stopped talking for a while, pinched the corners of his eyebrows and said: "I don't know what Chengyuan is all about, but you are right, Emperor Qi is indeed very much like the Nine Generations this time." He paused for a long time and sighed: "Your Martial Sect camp must be trying to kill the ninth generation, so Xun Shunerd, I can't talk nonsense about many things about Emperor Qi." But I'll tell you 10 out of 10, Emperor Qi and that Cheng Yuan - definitely two people. ”
The night breeze is cool, and the clothes pass through, making people's minds clearer. The white moonlight fell on Xie Yundu, allowing Xun Guan to see his serious and determined gaze clearly.
Xunguan pondered. He said before that Xie Yundu was not accurate in looking at people, but in fact, he was mostly ridiculous; those who could be looked at by Xie Yundu were indeed never too wrong. Although he didn't know what Xie Yundu's judgment was based on, he believed it. Is there really two nine generations? or......
Xun Guan raised his head and said softly: "There is another possibility. ”
Xie Yundu jumped down from the tree, "What is possible?"
"The Disease of Two Souls. Xun Guan groaned and added: "Or it may be the disease of multiple souls." ”
The healers found that some people, either mentally frustrated or made mistakes in their cultivation, sometimes alternated with completely different personalities, and they didn't know it—it was as if there were many different souls living in one body.
Xie Yundu choked when he boarded, and said with a smile while coughing: "Xun nerd, your imagination is really rich enough......"
Xun Guan said lightly: "Otherwise, how to explain it?"
Xie Yundu rolled his eyes, and was about to say that Emperor Qi had just attained Nirvana, and if he was Cheng Yuan, then the Feng Clan would have turned the sky upside down—but when the words came to his lips, he hurriedly held it back—if Emperor Qi was really the ninth generation, and he didn't cultivate now, wouldn't it be terrible to be caught by Wu Zong?
Xie Yundu suddenly thought, why not let Xun Shu and the others misunderstand as much as they want, and treat the evil Cheng Yuan as Emperor Qi, just enough to allow him to cultivate leisurely and peacefully.
Thinking of this benefit, Xie Yundu glanced at Xun Guan and said vaguely: "Is it a little bit possible......?"
Xun Guan looked at him for a long time, and said flatly: "I came to see if you died at his hands." Since you're not dead, I'll give you Momoyama some precautions. You know, there are already two neutral forces that have been dragged into the water. ”
"Move Peach Mountain?" Xie Yundu sneered and pouted, "Even if that Chengyuan is really the ninth generation, it is impossible." He looked at Xun Guan and frowned and didn't speak, and smiled lightly: "I know, I'll be careful." Thanks a lot. ”
Xun Guan bowed his head slightly and said, "You'd better not go out of Taoshan in the near future." I'll go back to the college to inform you about it. ”
Xie Yundu nodded indiscriminately and waved goodbye.
......
Silence is everywhere again.
Xie Yundu sensed that Xun Guan would soon go away, and let out a sigh of relief. After all, he also has a good relationship with Xun Guan, and it is really not his Xie Yundu's style to deliberately hide things, but since both sides are buddies, he must help the weaker side first. Don't ask for your life.
Xie Yundu felt that today's "inspiration" was good, and he was about to turn around and go back to his residence, when he suddenly remembered something, and his footsteps immediately stopped-
With the power of the Emperor's Enlightenment, before entering the secret realm, he was actually forced to the desperate situation of Nirvana - who would do it?
If Cheng Yuan replaces the identity of the prince of the Feng clan, then if he wants to prevent future troubles forever, he must kill the real one...... I wanted to kill before, but now that Emperor Qi is tossing such a big move in the secret realm, wouldn't it be even more killing?
Xie Yundu's heart sank, and he secretly screamed badly: "He doesn't cultivate now—it seems that he doesn't know about this yet—isn't that extremely dangerous?"
He thought about it, and felt more and more that something was wrong, so he turned around and went down the mountain. He had to find Middle-earth as soon as possible to wake up.
However, before Xie Yundu could descend to the mountainside, he heard a loud shout from the sky-
"Stop!"
Xie Yundu looked at the middle-aged man who flew in the air inexplicably, and said strangely: "Second senior brother, why did you come back early?"
Xie Yundu, the second senior brother, usually has a stubble beard, a face of vicissitudes, and looks always lazy, but today, his eyes are as sharp as a sword, and he whispered to Xie Yundu: "You tell me the truth, who did you provoke this time?"
Xie Yundu laughed dryly, "It's a long story...... Second Senior Brother, you are busy first, I have something urgent to go out, and I will talk about it in detail when I come back-what are you doing?!"
"Still going out?!" The man grabbed Xie Yundu's shoulder and flew back, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know who you provoked, but I calculated that hexagram before - if you go down to Peach Mountain this time, there will be no return." ”
Xie Yundu's heart was cold, he knew that the second senior brother's hexagram would not be wrong. He hurriedly said: "Second Senior Brother, it's okay if I don't go down the mountain, but you have to help—"
Luotuo's man's heart jumped violently, and the alarm suddenly rose, and he directly suppressed the second half of Xie Yundu's words with cultivation, and said categorically: "Silence!"
Xie Yundu's face suddenly turned red, but his heart was even colder-what was going on with this Chengyuan?
The Luotuo man carried Xie Yundu all the way to gallop, and took the sleeping Lao Bai with him halfway, and then took a man and a tiger to a cave in the depths of Taoshan.
Xie Yundu had already sensed the second senior brother's intentions at this time, and was dumbfounded—as for such an exaggeration, but the difference between his cultivation and that of the second senior brother was so different that he couldn't even move if he broke free.
The Luotuo man quickly opened a few formations, and threw Xie Yundu and Lao Bai into an enchantment with great ease. At this time, his expression was finally a little less gloomy, and after pinching his fingers, he finally showed Xie Yundu's familiar evil smile: "Little junior brother, let's practice your sword here for the past few years." ”
Xie Yundu wanted to cry without tears, gritted his teeth and said, "Second Senior Brother, you-"
However, he had already patted his clothes and walked away.
Xie Yundu and Lao Bai looked at each other wordlessly, and they both smiled bitterly - when they entered here, they didn't realize the swordsmanship inside, and it was impossible to come out at all.
With a long sigh, Xie Yundu moved his gaze to the swordsmanship engraved on the stone wall.
