Chapter 250: Stripping Lu Ci's Memory; That dark past; Have you ever heard Mt. Fuji sing?
"You? How could it be you? β
"You are a wicked obstacle, you dare to unite with outsiders, but it is against Tiangang!"
Lu Ci opened his eyes wide, like an angry lion, eager to rush up and tear the young boy in front of him to pieces!
But when he saw Lu Liang's tall figure clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then his face trembled visibly, and he said in disbelief: "You, your physical body has changed?" β
Lu Liang showed a complicated smile, walked in front of Lu Jin, put his hands in his trouser pockets, held his head high, and looked directly at Lu Ci: "Yes, my physical body has changed, and all this is thanks to the full hands that you have worked so hard to let us master, haha." β
Hearing this, Lu Ci's pupils tightened again: "You, have you really awakened your hands?" β
"Why do you know the secrets of the Soul Technique? Have you really awakened your hands? β
At this moment, he was excited and incoherent.
Lu Liang nodded, pulled his hands out of his trouser pockets, and let the two balls of blue and red breathe, and then appeared in his palm, exuding strange fluctuations, "Grandpa, you have gone to great lengths to train us from an early age, isn't it just for the sake of these eight wonder skills?" β
"So when you learned that Lu Huan, who was the best cultivator of Ming Soul Technique, died, you should have been in a very uncomfortable mood...... That's why I didn't find out the truth, so I listened to Dafang's words and wanted to bring me to justice, ho ho. β
"But I, like Lu Huan, am also your descendants, is your preference for us determined by the level of cultivation of the Ming Soul Technique? Or maybe you don't care about us at all, you're just chasing this miracle. β
"Why don't we make a deal, you don't blame the past, let me return to the Lu family in style, and I will also bring the Lu family a complete double hand."
word by word, Lu Ci's face changed again and again.
He naturally understood that his grandson was naturally not asking him for any forgiveness at this moment, but complaining and questioning.
Lu Ci's eyes trembled, and in an instant, he behaved like an ordinary old man at a loss, but soon, he returned to his appearance as an ancient well.
He didn't look at Lu Liang, his eyes turned to scan the juniors present, and finally fell on Lu Jin on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Jin, what do you mean by this?" β
"With a group of little dolls, they broke into the ancestral hall of my Lu family at night, sneaky like a mouse, and attacked and injured me, why? Is it to provoke a fight between the two families? β
"Ho ho, the so-called flawless life, doing such a thing, phew!"
Before Lu Jin could answer, Ma Xianhong on the side couldn't help it, and sneered at Lu Ci: "Lu Ci, what kind of good thing are you?" Could it be that persecuting the Thirty-six Righteousness, abusing Duanmu Ying, and robbing the Eight Wonder Techniques can be regarded as above board? β
"It's the existence of an insatiable person like you that will make me experience so much suffering, you really deserve to die!"
Ma Xianhong's eyes were red, and he stared at Lu Ci who was suppressed on the wall viciously, as if he was looking at an enemy with a deep hatred in the sea of blood.
In his heart, the reason why he has been pursuing his family for many years and not getting it, and the sad roots of his life are all caused by such scum in front of him!
Lu Jin also waved his palm, took out a rusty long knife from the devouring sac, and sighed: "Lu Liang realized that he had both hands and healed Lao Tian, so he got a condition promised by the Taichu Zhenren. β
"What this little doll wants to do most is to find out the truth about the death of his sister Lu Huan, as well as the truth of this Ming Soul Technique and Shuangquan Hand, sneak into your Lu family ancestral hall tonight, and find clues in this dungeon, and the king also found the saber leech pill of the demon Yingtai in the bottom of your Lu family."
"All kinds of traces really make the old man and me worried, so it is a last resort to make things so difficult tonight."
"So please cooperate with Brother Lu obediently."
Listening to everyone's words, Lu Ci suddenly felt like a lightning strike, looking at the rusty knife in Lu Jin's hand and speechless.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized that the secrets he had been hiding for so many years had all been exposed!
Looking at Lu Liangshi, who was stretching out his blue palm towards him, his lips trembled, and he roared, "What do you want to do!" β
There was a soft buzz.
Lu Liang's palm, which was covered with blue light, easily pressed against Lu Ci's facial features, and the power belonging to both hands invaded it, easily suppressing his soul, making his eyes roll and unable to say a word again.
"Next, I will share all the memories I have gained with you, remember to keep my thoughts and not be affected."
"Grandpa, offended!"
Lu Liang said, and the palm that was pressed on Lu Ci's face pulled back hard, pulling his translucent soul out of his body, and then squeezing it fiercely, stripping away all his past memories.
At the same time, at the palm of Lu Liang's clenched hand, several blue rays of light extended out, implicating everyone present.
The next moment.
As soon as everyone saw the flowers, they all saw the memory fragments from Lu Ci!
β¦β¦
In a vast white space, there was a slender blue light, and Lu Liang put his finger on the blue light, and he could easily see Lu Ci's life.
Then he used the demon knife leech pill and Duanmu Ying as anchor points, extracted all the relevant fragments, and pieced together the general truth in a very short time.
Among them, Lu Ci was young and frivolous, and he and his brother Lu Ren crisscrossed the rivers and lakes together, broke out a prestige, and won the reputation of the Lu family.
There is also a gathering of young people in the Inhuman World, the heartbeat when he first met the eldest lady of the medical family-Duanmu Ying, and the emotional frustration that he struggled to pursue in the long years that followed.
suddenly turned to the fiery years of being born to resist Japan and save the world, as well as the disbelief and monstrous hatred when he learned that his brother Lu Ren was beheaded by the demon Yingtai in the Battle of Mianshan.
From that moment on, a haze spread in Lu Ci's memory, the unruly young man in the past, as if he had grown up overnight, and after realizing that the brother who was regarded as the future of the family had died, he decisively took on the responsibility that should have been borne by Lu Ren.
Then came the crucial Battle of Mianshan, where Lu Ci led the elite of his family to sweep away the remnants of the Bigu and endure the sins, and finally encountered a young man dressed in a Japanese tenor costume in a valley.
The man was seriously injured, but he had a hideous smile on his face and a long knife with demonic aura in his hand.
The people who were reading Lu Ci's memories through the medium given by Lu Liang immediately learned that this person was the demon Yingtai who was holding the demon sword Leech Pill!
In Lu Ci's memory, it was in that valley that after a hard battle, he successfully besieged and killed the second order hall Eita.
"So Yingtai is already dead, died in the hands of Lu Ci, and the demon knife leech pill also flowed into the Lu family at that time." Zhang Chulan clasped her hands around her chest and watched carefully, watching the memory fragments playing in the picture screen in front of her.
At least so far, although Lu Ci's image is not pleasing, he is also very positive, he went out to resist the Japanese and avenge his brother, and he did nothing bad.
But the next moment, there was a new twist in that memory fragment.
Just after the elite of the Lu family succeeded in killing Yingtai, Lu Ci directly knelt on his knees excitedly, pounded the ground with his hands, and cried out his brother's name bitterly.
But on his left, there was a tall middle-aged man, staring obsessively, the purple long knife that was inserted into the ground by Yingtai, and then without anyone noticing, he stepped forward directly and pulled it out with one hand.
In the next moment, a strange purple light appeared in the eyes of this middle-aged man, and without any hesitation, he raised the leech pill in his hand and slashed at Lu Ci's head!
There was blood splattering, broken bones flying.
It was another disciple of the Lu family who stopped in front of Lu Ci at a critical moment and became a revenant under the sword.
The entire valley was immediately filled with incredible roars and shouts.
The second battle officially began.
Lu Ci roared in pain as he slaughtered all the Lu family disciples who were contaminated by the demon sword, until in the end, no one dared to approach the demon knife.
And the elite of the Lu family has lost most of it, and even under the influence of that magic power, no one is willing to destroy the demon sword.
At the end of this memory, Lu Ci left the leech pill in the valley, but finally went and returned that night, taking it away with a special magic weapon.
It's just that maybe he didn't even notice that from that night, his spiritual consciousness was stained with a strange purple.
"It turns out that Old Lady Lu has suffered such a big loss on that leech pill, and he has to kill his family and companions, this feeling must be uncomfortable."
"It's just that he went and returned, and used the magic weapon rope to roll away the demon knife, thinking that he would not be affected, but in the end he was still contaminated with a trace of demonic energy."
Wang also rubbed his chin and noticed the change that Lu Ci had made that night.
Sure enough, in the years that followed.
After Lu Ci secretly brought the demon knife back to the Lu family, he tried a variety of methods, trying to completely master it without the negative influence of the leech pill, but failed repeatedly.
In this process, his personality became more and more perverse and violent, and his methods became more and more ruthless, and he successfully took on the responsibility of his brother, and gradually won the approval of the head of the Lu family, becoming the future heir of the Lu family.
It wasn't until the advent of 1944 that the news of the Thirty-six Righteousness leaked out, and the Eight Wonders were also released, and the Jiashen Rebellion broke out.
In troubled times.
Lu Ci, who has already changed his personality greatly, will do whatever it takes to chase powerful forces, constantly collecting news about the Eight Wonder Skills, and even fighting with his colleagues in the Inhuman World in order to snatch the strange skills, committing murder.
Until one day, he received an order from the clan elder to attack Duanmu Ying, the heir of one of the Eight Wonder Techniques who had already clarified his whereabouts!
The whole plan was very successful, and under the premise of being threatened by Duanmu Ying's lover Prince Zhong, the former quickly succumbed and was willing to follow Lu Ci to the Lu family, where he was suppressed in the underground of the Lu family ancestral hall.
At that time, Lu Ci still had love for Duanmu Ying in his heart, but since his brother Lu Ren died violently, he was affected by the demon knife, and he was no longer able to curb the greed and violence in his heart, and under the instructions of the elder of the Lu family, he began to torture Duanmu Ying for decades.
At first, Duanmu Ying truthfully confessed the trick of the exercises about the double full hands, but the magic technique was difficult to understand, and it was related to the mystery of human life, and the Lu family spent a lot of effort in the next few years, but no one studied even the slightest bit of the door of the double full hands, and even suspected that the exercises were fake, everything was just Duanmu Ying deceiving them.
So Lu Ci once again threatened Wang Zizhong's life to persecute Duanmu Ying, but even if the latter had been suppressed in the dungeon for several years, he insisted that what he handed over was the real Shuangquan.
So the Lu family quickly discussed the second plan, thinking that since Shuangquan Hands could not be refined, was it possible to pass it on through blood connection?
So Duanmu Ying faced a second shameless persecution, and needed to have a relationship with the people of the Lu family, give birth to an heir with his bloodline, and then let the heir of the Lu family cultivate both hands.
In the face of Lu Ci's request, Duanmu Ying would rather die this time than give in, and wanted to protect his reputation for Wang Zizhong, but in the face of threats, he finally made concessions, based on his own hands, and produced a spiritual flesh module containing his bloodline in a similar process of giving birth to a baby.
And these flesh and bloodβin the end, they all entered the body of the new generation of the Lu family's Lu Ci lineage in various ways, and it really had an effect, and in the process of passing it down from generation to generation, it gradually gave birth to a talent similar to that of Shuangquanshou, but it was obviously incomplete.
So Duanmu Ying is still not free, and has been reduced to being suppressed in a dungeon that does not see the light of day, day and night without stopping, producing blood and soul flesh - a machine.
And such days have been going on for decades.
Until the old people were all old, until Lu Ci became the head of the family step by step and became the current old lady Lu.
Duanmu Ying, who is decadent and old, has been squeezed for decades in this way, until one day five years ago, perhaps life has finally come to an end, and all the youthful vitality has turned into spiritual flesh and soul to be eaten by the Lu family.
Duanmu Ying's breath became weaker and weaker, until one day there was no movement at all, perhaps because of the reason for running his hands day and night, his body did not rot, but fell into a state of being like a vegetative person, not born or dead.
But even more sinful things happened.
After the Lu family found out that Duanmu Ying could no longer produce spirit flesh, and the latest generation of juniors still couldn't master the complete hands from the bloodline, they didn't hesitate to extend the butcher knife to Duanmu Ying's body.
After squeezing it for decades, it was like Ling Chi, cutting off the flesh and blood from its body, using it as a medicine primer, and feeding it to the juniors of the Lu family.
Duanmu Ying's immortal body, although able to repair itself, also weakened more and more in the process, until four years later, it began to show signs of decay.
So one dark night, his body was finally eaten by the Lu family, leaving only a black and white photo and a pile of empty graves.
Not long after that day, the demon knife leech pill suddenly became rusty, Lu Huan suddenly fell off the cliff, and Lu Liang was accused of being the murderer and was forced to escape from the Lu family.
The two most talented juniors broke away from Lu Ci in this way.
Under the medium given by Lu Liang, everyone successfully browsed all these important memory fragments of Lu Ci's life.
With the last flash of light, they were in a trance before their eyes, and then they returned to the reality of the basement.
Some dimly lit dungeons.
Lu Ci, whose memory was extracted, lowered his head and was still in a coma.
And Lu Liang had already withdrawn his hand from his head, covered his chest, and couldn't help but bend over and retch, allowing the pantothenic acid gastric juice to roll out of his throat and flow to the ground.
It wasn't until today that he knew what the red liquid that Lu Ci fed them back then wasβit turned out to be living human flesh!
Behind him, everyone had fallen silent, their faces gloomy, their fists clenched, and they couldn't believe that the truth was so cruel.
One of the three great masters of the Inhuman World, in order to obtain the Eight Wonder Skills, he went so far as to use such unscrupulous means to eat a woman who should have a happy life for decades!
"Lu Ci, you beast, bastard, you are really damned!"
The first to collapse was Ma Xianhong, his eyes were red, and he almost fell into complete madness, turning the power of the black dou armor to the maximum, and smashing it down towards Lu Ci mercilessly.
But when the fist was about to smash through Lu Ci's chest, it was offset by a force, offset by half a foot, and landed on the body of the earth dragon condensed by the earth river car, chiseling through a large piece of stone, and the huge force conveyed directly made Lu Ci's mouth spurt blood, and the whole person came to his senses.
He looked at the people in front of him, the eyes of hatred and contempt to the extreme, felt his head as dizzy as mush, and immediately understood what was going onβall memories had been exposed!
The crazy Ma Xianhong waved his fist fiercely, and wanted to smash Lu Ci's head, but was stopped by Lu Jin on the side with a five-finger talisman.
Lu Jin stared at Lu Ci coldly, and said in a low voice: "The Lu family's persecution of Duanmu Ying has been confirmed, but Lu Huan's death has not yet been investigated, and the reason why the leech pills are covered with rust is not clear, and we have no power to decide the life and death of the head of the Lu family." β
"Take him to Longhu Mountain, contact the company, and listen to the Heavenly Master and the real person."
Hearing Lu Jin's words, everyone's clenched fists finally slowly loosened, and the hysterical Ma Xianhong also calmed down under Zhang Chulan's comfort.
"I ......"
Lu Ci wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, and he didn't try to struggle anymore, and after being silent for a long time, he spoke: "This world is the law of the jungle. β
Lu Jin didn't pay attention to him, just stepped forward and gently patted Lu Liang's back to comfort the other party.
Until a long time later.
Lu Liang raised his head without saying a word, and said indifferently: "From now on, I am no longer a member of the Lu family, but I will find out the truth about Lu Huan's death and give her an explanation, as well as Duanmu Ying." β
With that, he turned around and walked away without looking back.
After knocking Lu Ci unconscious and sealing the Qi Sea, everyone threw them into the devouring sac, and left the Lu family under the cover of the hiding beads.
β¦β¦
Meanwhile.
Thousands of miles away.
Cherry blossom island country, Mt. Fuji on Honshu Island.
As the country's most legendary sacred mountain, there are so many legends that have been told here, the snow that does not melt all year round is like a holy wedding dress, and the clouds and mist are like a white skirt, adding a touch of mystery to it.
It's just that at the top of Mt. Fuji tonight, there is always a thick dark cloud, like a colony of black crows, which will not disperse.
"Ahaha, looking down from the top of the mountain, you can really see a nice view."
There is a beautiful man in a hunting suit, sitting on a protruding part of a rock, his legs hanging in the air, shaking like an excited child, stretching out his hand to point to the lights of the ten thousand homes under the mountain: "Look, President Qu, it's the city of Yoshida, it's really lively, the orange lights are like stars falling from the sky, there should be a lot of people." β
Qu Tong, who was sitting on the top of the boulder and was wearing a neat black leather coat, smiled and politely agreed: "Yes, it's really beautiful." β
As she spoke, she couldn't help but hold the long knife hidden in the leather bag in her hand tighter, only to feel a little speechless, but she didn't expect that Abe Harari's so-called big plan to come to Mount Fuji was like a boring outing.
"Then let's destroy it, it must be interesting, it must be more beautiful."
Harori suddenly spoke, and the smile on her face became even stronger, like a schoolboy who had proposed a great spring outing plan, and pointed in the direction of the city with her hand, as if she was thinking about where to start destroying it.
The corners of Qu Tong's mouth twitched, and he said with a dry smile: "Mr. Qingli, in my country, there are not many strangers who dare to launch attacks against civilians, and no one dares to come up with a dangerous plan to destroy a city. β
Qingli nodded, "Miss Naqu has a chance to feast her eyes, even in my country, no one has ever done this. β
"Tsk, am I going to set a precedent?"
Qu Tong didn't want to listen to the other party's bragging, he was only interested in Long Qi, who he cared about, so he paused and said: "Mr. Qingli, we have been blowing the wind here for half the night, and it is really a little cold at such a high altitude." I don't know when you plan to take me to find Long Qi? β
Qingli's slender eyebrows were slightly raised, her fox-like eyes narrowed with a smile, she pointed to the clouds above her head, and said lightly: "Miss Qu Tong, haven't you noticed that I am working hard for this for half a night?" β
"Well, what a coincidence, you should ask, and here it is."
Qu Tong looked in the direction of the other party's finger and saw a thick layer of dark clouds that covered the starlight and the bright moon.
She also knew that at this moment, she realized that it seemed that from this night onwards, this Mount Fuji was shrouded in a shadow, but the night hid this very well.
"Action...... Has it already begun? β
An idea came to Qu Tong's mind, and then he heard a faint sound like a bat flapping its wings from far and near
In the distance in the white snow valley, a dark shadow swept through it, approaching where they were, and when it got closer, it revealed its true bodyβit was actually a paper crane with flapping wings.
The crane hovered above their heads and finally landed in Abe's hands.
Qu Tong looked intently, and on the special paper wings, he saw a pattern of vermilion chrysanthemums, and from the paper crane, he felt a familiar qi.
Harori smiled slightly, reached out and gently stroked the head of the paper crane, and then drew a white point of light from the beak of the bird, and in the center of the point of light, there was an extremely thin wisp of golden breath.
"Okay, didn't you find this?"
Harori looked at the white light on her fingertips, the smile on her face became even brighter, and she suddenly looked at Qu Tong and asked, "President Qu, have you ever heard the singing of Mt. Fuji?" β
