Chapter 189: Persuasion
What Zhuang Zhou didn't expect was that Ma Shanhao's face actually showed a look of confusion.
Ma Shanhao asked rhetorically: "The fire, Qixia Village more than 20 years ago, why am I not impressed at all?"
Zhuang Zhou was surprised, thinking that this incident was planned and arranged by Ma Shanhao's master Gu Hatian back then, how could Ma Shanhao, as one of the three major disciples of that year, not know at all? However, when he looked at Ma Shanhao's eyes, there was no trace of concealment, and he could conclude that Ma Shanhao really didn't know anything about this matter!
This is strange! Could it be that the previous ones were just stories made up by Li Chaowen or Zhou Bonian?
Zhuang Zhou shook his head, knowing that the fire more than twenty years ago must have existed. This is not only proved by the three old men in Qixia Village, but also by the ruins that he has personally visited. What's more, he still has that book in his hand! This fire has revealed all the relevant historical mysteries in series, which is reasonable, so even if there may be some discrepancies in the details, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it on the whole!
Zhuang Zhou didn't want to tell Ma Shanhao the facts in his hands, so he just asked: "So, Liu Canglong said that my master fled with that book back then, does my uncle know what's going on?"
As soon as the four words entered Ma Shanhao's ears, his face changed slightly, he thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I only know that Liu Canglong framed Senior Brother Tianyang to kill his master, and Senior Brother Tianyang had to flee, and I really can't remember the rest!, that book has long been lost......"
Zhuang Zhou saw Ma Shanhao's brows tightened. Knowing that he was trying to think about it, he reminded at the right time: "It is said that the fire more than twenty years ago was to snatch this secret method ......" but suddenly saw Ma Shanhao's face distorted. He clenched his teeth, breathed heavily, held his head with both hands, and said in pain: "Headache...... It hurts......"
Zhuang Zhou was shocked, hurriedly supported Ma Shanhao, and asked, "Uncle, uncle." What's wrong with you?"
Ma Shanhao trembled all over, and said intermittently: "I...... I don't know how to get it, headache...... Blaze. The fire of more than twenty years ago, what's going on?"
Zhuang Zhou heard him start to talk nonsense, for fear that his mind would be injured, so he hurriedly helped him lie down. At the same time, the exercise made him fall asleep......
watched Ma Shanhao gradually quiet down. His face slowly normalized, knowing that he had fallen asleep. On the other hand, an idea came to mind: Do you want to enter Ma Shanhao's dream to find out? Maybe you can get the answer in Ma Shanhao's sea of memories.
Looking for the answer he wants in the sea of other people's memories, Zhuang Zhou is not the first time he has done it, so he is very confident.
However, Zhuang Zhou quickly shook his head and denied his idea. Because he knows that grabbing memories in the sea of memories of others will inevitably lead to the injury of other people's minds, and he doesn't want this uncle who can be said to be loyal to him and even kind to him to be injured!
And. Zhuang Zhou suddenly thought that the reason why Ma Shanhao couldn't remember the fire. It is likely that he has deliberately shattered this memory in his sea of memories for decades, if he ventures in, not only will he not be able to recover them, but he may also completely destroy Ma Shanhao's mind because he has entered the ground too deeply, then he will not be at ease for the rest of his life.
There are many painful memories in a person's life, and people always try to forget it. For dream hunters, it is the luck of the past that can not be looked back on, completely shattered, and there is no trace of it. However, it takes a dream hunter's huge energy to smash memories, and even then, it may not be able to truly erase them, and sometimes they are actually just hidden in a deeper subconscious, so deep that they can't even realize it. For example, Ma Shanhao, he once wanted to forget the past about Liu Canglong's murder of the teacher and his own accomplice to force Ye Xuan'er away, but he couldn't do it at all, but instead went deeper and deeper into his consciousness, and finally evolved into a nightmare at night, unable to get rid of it......
And once some memories that were not completely shattered were mentioned, a wave of resistance immediately erupted in the subconscious, so Ma Shanhao immediately had a headache when he heard Zhuang Zhou's words.
Of course, Zhuang Zhou knows that there is a method of splicing memories in Zai, that is, entering the deepest part of other people's dreams to re-extract the memories that others have been shattered or incompletely crushed, and splicing them to recover. If a person wants to shatter his memory, there are only two situations, either this memory is too painful, or this memory cannot see people, in either case, once these memories are spliced and recovered, the person is faced with infinite pain, panic, and helplessness.
Ye Xuan'er entered Liu Canglong's Sea of Memory, and so many fragments she saw in those turbid seawaters were actually memories that Liu Canglong wanted to shatter but did not completely shatter at all.
In the final analysis, life should forget some things, and only in this way can we pull out our legs from the mire of the past and look forward.
So, why bother to get those memories back?
Ma Shanhao's life has been full of vicissitudes, he was deceived by Liu Canglong when he was young, he did something that he regretted in his life, and when he was old, he helped Ye Xuan'er almost destroy the entire Dream Hunter Clan......
Moreover, these memories, those truths, aren't they also torture for Zhuang Zhou himself?
Zhuang Zhou sighed, he knew that after Ma Shanhao woke up, he would forget all about the question he asked. He called for someone to help Ma Shanhao back to his room.
Then, Zhuang Zhou walked out of the patriarch's room, wearing a sky full of stars, and came to the prison where Xia Zhengliang was held.
The prison was in one of the side halls in a row behind Yunmeng Pavilion, and there were still two guards standing by the door at this moment. Zhuang Zhou's arrival surprised the two of them, and they hurriedly opened the door and let Zhuang Zhou in.
Although this is a prison, it is actually a rest room for the original disciples, so there are beds, tables and chairs for resting, and except for the darkness in the room due to the dark sky, it is still clean and tidy. Zhuang Zhou was very satisfied with Zhou Long's arrangement.
When Zhuang Zhou entered, Xia Zhengliang was meditating cross-legged, his eyes closed, looking calm and relaxed, and he actually ignored Zhuang Zhou's arrival.
Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but feel a little more good in his heart. If you want to say that you are taking off Dream Mountain, Zhuang Zhou is only familiar with three people, one is Zhou Bonian, one is Ling Yan, and the other is Xia Zhengliang in front of him.
Zhou Bo is old and spicy, Ling Yan is bluffing, but this Xia Zhengliang and Zhuang Zhou don't know much about it. He remembered that a few years ago, Xia Zhengliang was embarrassed in the competition, and then Ye Xuan'er went up the mountain, and Zhou Bonian took advantage of the fire to rob, it was Xia Zhengliang who led people to raid Yunmeng Pavilion and imprisoned the disciples who adhered to Yunmeng Pavilion. It can be said that Xia Zhengliang does not appear many times, but he has a great effect. The most rare thing is that from Zhou Long's description, this person is quite loyal and arrogant!
Zhuang Zhou said: "Senior Brother Xia, don't come unharmed!"
Xia Zhengliang still closed his eyes and was silent, but meditated between his lips and teeth and let out a soft "hum!"
Zhuang Zhou was a little annoyed, this prisoner of the rank was so contemptuous of himself, he couldn't bear it anymore. However, Zhuang Zhou still held back the anger in his heart and said, "Senior Brother Xia, why do you have to pretend, you are sitting here with your eyes closed on your face, but you are actually suffering in your heart. The most important thing for a Dream Hunter cultivator is to meditate and cultivate Qi, and Senior Brother Xia's attainments in this area are not flattering!"
When Xia Zhengliang heard what he said, he was embarrassed and embarrassed. Just as Zhuang Zhou said, how can he really close his eyes and recuperate at this moment, in fact, his heart is turning upside down! He sighed, opened his eyes, and asked, "Where is my master?"
Zhuang Zhou said: "The immortal has passed away......
Xia Zhengliang stood up, tears welled up in his eyes, and asked sharply, "What? You killed my master?"
Zhuang Zhou said lightly: "It's not that I killed him, it's just that he was ashamed and angry, and he killed himself." Xia Zhengliang shook his head and said, "It's not that you forced him to death!" As he spoke, his hands were clenched, and he was about to pounce on Zhuang Zhou's throat.
The two guards outside the house heard the strangeness inside and rushed in together, and the giant knife was protected in front of Zhuang Zhou. Zhuang Zhou waved his hand and said, "No need, you guys go out!" The two of them actually knew that it didn't make much sense for them to rush in, how could a mere Xia Zhengliang threaten the patriarch? It's just out of the instinct of the guard, as soon as they heard Zhuang Zhou's order, they immediately retreated.
Zhuang Zhou continued: "I said, I didn't kill your master, he killed himself. Think about it, with my cultivation, can I kill Master Zhou? On this Yunmeng Mountain, unless he wants to die, who can kill him?"
Zhuang Zhou's words are a bit untrue. To say that Zhou Bonian under normal circumstances is indeed as he said, however, that night, Zhou Bonian was besieged by hundreds of crossbowmen, and he was really dying, and later he was seriously injured, and there was no possibility of survival. However, listening to Xia Zhengliang's ears has another meaning.
In Xia Zhengliang's mind, Master Zhou Bonian is naturally the number one master of the Yunmeng Mountain Range, and it is hard to believe that he was killed by Zhuang Zhou, but now when he hears Zhuang Zhou say this, he can't help but believe most of it, and he can't help but feel sad and cry.
Zhuang Zhou looked at Xia Zhengliang with some pity and said, "I know that you are a loyal man...... Alas, we are all members of the Dream Hunter Clan, why do we have to kill each other? Last time it was my master Liu Canglong, and this time it was your master Zhou Bonian, killing and killing, not my own people?"
This sentence exploded in Xia Zheng's conscience like thunder, and he looked at Zhuang Zhou in a daze, not knowing what to say for a while.
Zhuang Zhou continued: "The Dream Hunter Clan has been undefeated for thousands of years since its ancestor. But in recent centuries it has been declining, why? Naturally, it is because the clans are divided and cannibalistic...... Now, alas, don't talk about it! I think this is a state of affairs that every Dream Hunter doesn't want to see. Perhaps, everyone is longing for such a person to appear, this person can be born out of thin air, turn the tide, and bring the Dream Hunter out of this predicament......"
Xia Zhengliang suddenly raised his head and laughed, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world, and after a long time, he said coldly: "You want to say that you Zhuang Zhou is this person?"
