Chapter 206: The Past
Zu Shi's words aroused Mo Wunian's great interest, and he said, "Why do you say that?
Zu Shi continued: "Because in fact, in the past few hundred years, Murong Cheng has been in Zushi City twice. Twice it didn't feel like one!".
Just in the first hundred years after his horn was cut off, Murong Cheng came to see him for the first time, but he stood in the city for a long time without saying a word, with a gloomy face on his face, and showed a deep disgust for him as an ancestral stone!
The second time was a hundred years after that, Murong Cheng came to Ancestral Stone City again without saying a word, but he sighed all night in the city before leaving, this time ...... He seems to have too much sorrow, but he can't easily talk about it to others.
"That'...... Which time do you think he is now?"
"Like the second time, but not like it. Because the gloomy aura on his body is too heavy, but it is far less than the first time. ”
Listening to Zu Shi's words, Mo Wunian fell into deep thought.
It stands to reason that Murong Cheng is a big man, and after a long time, he will inevitably have to intrigue with some of the cultivation sects below, and he will inevitably be a little gloomy, but according to Zu Shi, all this does not make sense.
Just as they were chatting briefly, Murong Cheng and the people of the Murong clan, as well as a group of monks from Liang Wucheng, flew over to their side, and after landing on the ground, a group of people respectfully saluted the ancestral stone.
"I'm waiting to congratulate Lord Zushi!"
Everyone's voices rang out in unison, which could be regarded as rejoicing for Zushi's successful tribulation.
It was Murong Cheng, who was still a little gloomy on his face, and the gloom was swept away, and his face turned a little more gentle and said, "Lord Zushi, do you know them?"
Zu Shi knew the particularity of Mo Wunian's true identity, so he smiled slightly and said, "It's just a descendant of someone who received my favor in the past!"
Hearing him say this, Murong Cheng became more and more sure that Mo Wunian and Wu Mu should be the descendants of their Murong clan.
Zu Shi remembered what Mo Wunian had just told him about the previous monarch, so he said to Murong Cheng like a casual chatter: "Those things that Murong Ge brought back back then, but I don't know where the Murong children of your generation have been kept? ”。
Murong Ge was the name of the previous ruler.
When he said this, it wasn't just because Mo Wunian mentioned it to him that he would say it temporarily, but because he really existed in this world for a long time and knew many things that were not known to the world......
But in the 30,000 years of existence in this world, his memories of 10,000 years have been erased by others, and now he only remembers that these memories involve some taboo things, and he faintly feels that this thing should be related to the things brought back by the previous Murong Lord.
Because in the memories he had lost in 10,000 years, what he still remembered was that these memories involved the Nine Realms Mountain, the Divine Worship Clan...... And the town of the ancient country that he had never heard of!
Regarding the ancient country of Zhengu, in the past years, he also asked the people of the Murong tribe to check, but in the end, he found some clues in some ancient book fragments, only to know that it was an ancient country of ancient cultivation that once monopolized a large area equivalent to Beiyang, a large domain in the ten states of Zhongyuan, and existed 50,000 years ago. And in the ancient country of Zhengu that was found later, there were also two cultivation sects called the Nine Realms Sect and the Xuanzhen Sect!
What is the connection between this and today's Nine Realms Mountain and Xuanzhen Kingdom?
But these connections are also involved...... Because as far as he knew, the connection between the Nine Realms Mountain and the Xuanzhen Kingdom had only been in the last few thousand years.
In fact, about these things that he couldn't understand in his memory, it was the previous lord of Xuanzhen Kingdom who went to verify it for him, but the result was that this lord left some information and disappeared.
At that time, he was in the bottleneck Nirvana stage of his cultivation, and he needed to accumulate a lot of strength to deal with the future spiritual tribulation, so he was often in a state of deep sleep.
After that, he met the gods...... was cut off his horns, and this matter of asking Murong Ge to bring back the news has been delayed until now.
Therefore, now he directly went straight to Murong Cheng and said: "The descendants of the Murong family, you are also the one I watched grow up, about the things that your previous Murong family master brought back, can you let me see it?"
Although Murong Cheng has been practicing for nearly two thousand years, in front of Zu Shi, he is indeed a junior.
After hearing this, the expression on his face did not change much, but there were also turbulent waves in his heart, because what the previous head of the family brought back was actually a rather evil cultivation method, and this kind of cultivation method had to be practiced in order to break through the other side of the realm......
But now he has gone wrong, he himself is not a human being, a ghost is not a ghost.
He was the only one who knew about this matter, and he had not told it to outsiders, so he would be asked by Zu Shi, and after thinking about it again and again, he said: "The previous lord only told a few clan elders about this matter, and the details were not told to me ......."
And for hundreds of years, he, the lord of Xuanzhen Country, has been the image of "righteousness and brightness", but this can never be said. Moreover, he had the confidence to return this Dharma to the right path, just before him...... His hands may have to be stained with innocent gore for a while.
"Really?" Zu Shi's tone was slightly surprised, but his eyes were clear and real
Sang's red pupils were not startled.
Murong Cheng stared at these eyes, but the expression on his face changed slightly.
"Then you can take care of the Murong family. I can't stay here for long!"
"Why?
Murong Cheng was puzzled why he would say such a sentence.
But the reason is clear, that is, although the ancestral stone was successful, it should actually attract the attention of the Divine Worship Clan, because this day is just their puppet, and now it has only slightly defeated their puppet, I believe that soon, several clan elders of the Divine Worship Clan will come over.
As soon as Zu Shi knew this, he vaguely said a few words to Murong Cheng about this matter, and then he said: "I will say a few more words to those two young descendants, and I will leave this place...... It's just that there are some things that I have to explain to you a few more words. ”。
"Lord Zushi, what do you want to talk about?"
"You know something...... If you don't want to tell it, I won't force you to tell me. Also, although I haven't paid attention to the situation of mortals in the Xuanzhen Kingdom for hundreds of years, I probably know what kind of life mortals are living now. And monks, are you really higher than mortals?" Zu Shi's eyes were a little harsh, and he gave Murong Cheng some of the things he wanted to say for Mo Wunian.
To tell the truth, the atmosphere of Xuan Zhenguo is indeed not very good now, and Zu Shi more or less feels that this matter should be related to Murong Cheng.
Murong Cheng heard it in his ears, and hurriedly said yes, and then said respectfully: "What Lord Zushi said is true...... Now there is something wrong with the atmosphere of Xuan Zhenguo. ”。
"You know, and I believe it...... If you really have some ambitions, Xuan Zhenguo should be taken care of by you very well!I also choose to believe you!" Seeing that he was sincere, Zu Shi's tone softened a little, and he said with an extra scroll in his hand: "There is a consciousness of mine in this, which has some insights into your Murong family's cultivation method, which should also be of some help to you." You should practice hard and don't go the wrong way!"
He looked at Murong Cheng in front of him, and wanted to get to the bottom of it and ask him for clarification, but in the end, considering the difficulties of the past few hundred years, he just said a few words to him that seemed to be a "lesson".
Murong Cheng didn't seem to expect this, but trembled and took the scroll into his hand, and said solemnly to Zushi: "Lord Zushi values me so much, I must also make an appearance to Lord Zushi!"
"You shouldn't just be a show for me...... You should be a Murong clan, and even the entire Xuanzhen Kingdom!" Zu Shi saw that he was respectful, so he said this again.
Murong Cheng looked at this scroll, but he still felt a little guilty in his heart...... Although in the past few years, their Murong clan had abandoned the ancestral stones, he had never abandoned them.
Regarding the serial number on Mo Wunian's body, Zu Shi also vaguely said it to Murong Cheng, but he just shook his head, as if he didn't know anything about this matter.
Zu Shi didn't ask again, and didn't seem to take this matter to heart, and walked towards Mo Wunianhe instead.
Actually, when asked about these matters, Murong Cheng was as calm as water on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already full of ups and downs, because Zu Shi's questioning was really intriguing, it seemed that some irrelevant things were asked specifically, and the specific things were vague, but he didn't dare to relax at all, for fear of saying the wrong word and saying something that shouldn't be said.
Seeing him walking towards Mo Wunian and Wu Mu, the heart hanging in his heart really calmed down.
Then, Murong Cheng thought of his repentance, and he felt a sense of guilt in his heart...... But the bitterness became more and more intense, but he told himself in his heart: I really want to become a clean person and clean up the Xuanzhen Kingdom, but ...... Can you turn back and go with a bow open?
He felt that perhaps everything had gone wrong from the time he first wanted to practice the cultivation method of that evil sect. But then, after his eyes were closed for a while and then opened, his eyes showed clarity mixed with a little cruelty and told himself that if a person wants to really become clean, he must first have some blood on his hands, and then wash himself with blood.
He would keep Zu Shi's words in mind and bring back the atmosphere of the Xuan Zhen Kingdom, but before that, he would have to solve his own problems first, such as the matter of "sequence".
Of course, these matters must be bloody.
......
Over there, Zu Shi told Mo Wunian everything he had talked about in his conversation with Murong Cheng.
"He's so clean...... You just believe him?" Although Murong Cheng helped Zu Shi survive the catastrophe, Mo Wunian always remembered that there was an evil aura in him.
"Of course I don't believe it, but what can I do? Now the Murong clan and even the Xuanzhen Kingdom have to rely on him to support themselves! He also has his difficulties!" Zu Shi then told Mo Wunian about the difficulties of Murong Cheng for hundreds of years.
Although Murong Cheng didn't tell Zu Shi about this, Zu Shi saw the situation of Liang Wucheng for tens of thousands of years, and knew that it was not easy for the heads of the Murong family in previous dynasties, and he could understand him a little without saying it.
After saying good things for Murong Cheng, Zu Shi continued: "But he ...... You still have to be on guard. I did sense a sinister aura in him!".
After listening to him, Mo Wunian also agreed with Zu Shi's words, if he was forced to ask, he would inevitably have to tear his face with Murong Cheng, but
There is no need for this, looking at it now, he did do some things excessively, but if he is lost, it is also the best result.
"I also know a little bit about Murong Cheng's temperament, someone told me back then that he does things too much and often doesn't care about the results. If this result is good, then naturally the direction of Xuanzhen Kingdom in the future will be a good result. But if it's a bad outcome, I'm afraid...... Let him know that he is lost, but also let him change his temperament, how easy is his temperament to change?" Speaking of which, Mo Wunian was also an elder of Murong Cheng back then, and he knew a little bit about his temperament.
Zu Shi listened, but he fell into deep thought and didn't say anything more After a while, he said, "I hope he understands what I mean...... You can get lost in time. Let's not talk about that...... You have this sequence, but I will help you eliminate it. ”。
At his current realm, it is very simple to get rid of the mark on Mo Wunian's hand.
But unexpectedly, Mo Wunian shook his head. He wanted to leave this mark like a vine touching a melon, leading to the things behind this sequence, maybe this matter was related to the taboo matters known to the previous lord of the country.
"If you want to recover your lost memories, what Murong Ge brought back should be dispensable to help you!, but if I want to know what I want to know, I really have to walk straight through this hurdle in front of me. Mo Wunian said lightly, he had told him about Zu Shi's search for his memories for a long time.
"That's true. After hearing this, Zu Shi nodded, and then said: "But these things you want to investigate, in the end, you can't get around the Divine Worship Clan! Back then, the Nine Realms Mountain was as strong as your master Jiang Wuya, and even the other Eight Mountains Mountain Lords died in their hands? Are you sure you want to investigate?"
He especially remembered that when he first met Mo Wunian more than two thousand years ago when he was Jiang Tianheng, when he said some shocking thoughts, he guessed what would happen to the Nine Realms Mountain, and now that he saw that he could live again, as a former friend, of course he also wanted Mo Wunian to ignore these things.
Thinking of this, he looked at Wu Mu again and continued: "Although you have now lost the sect of the past, haven't you already lost some things and regained them? Why bother...... Isn't it good to live this life in peace?".
He could also see at a glance that Wu Mu had the aura of Murong Xiu back then. It is also extremely fortunate to see them come together again in this life.
"I'm a very lazy person, I don't like to practice at all, if I can, I will find a remote place that no one knows, raise ten or eight children, and have nothing to do with the family to go on a spring trip or something. Mo Wunian seemed to agree with Zu Shi's statement, and there was a laziness in his sentences.
These words didn't sound serious at all, and they didn't sound like what he usually said, especially when it came to "giving birth", Wu Mu's cheeks were slightly hot when he listened.
But then he said, "But this is what my master has told me, and I have to do it." ”。
He said plainly, but his expression was full of solemnity and solemnity.
"This ...... In this way, this is something that even Jiang Wuya knows! That even means that your masters and apprentices back then were all self-directed and self-acting?" It has been difficult for Rao Yizu Shi to have a turbulent heart for tens of thousands of years, and at this moment, after listening to him say this, his heart twitched.
Who would have thought that the entire cultivation world would be in an uproar because of their master and apprentice...... It turned out to be a self-directed and self-staged play! In order to find out those forbidden things, their master and apprentice did not hesitate to bet on the Nine Realms Mountain, and they also concealed it from all the people!
But there are also doubts, if you direct and act yourself, you can't think about it...... And how did his master Jiang Wuya know that after he died, he would definitely be reborn through the Nine Cang Sword?
Mo Wunian guessed his thoughts, and he said to Zu Shi: "Are you directing and acting yourself?" I don't think so...... A lot of the time, I can't guess what he's thinking, even if he's been dead for almost a thousand years now, I can't guess. But the peace he often talks about has suppressed me for as many as 3,000 years!"
As he spoke, his eyes filled with extreme exhaustion.
He rarely shows his true emotions in front of people, but when he meets his old friends, he really can't suppress some emotions.
"Master Jiang Shan, he really can't guess what he does!" Thinking of Mo Wunian's demeanor as the master in his previous life, Zu Shi couldn't help but sigh.
"Then you're going to keep looking?"
"Uh-huh. And the mark will not fade. ”
"Just now you were still talking about Murong Cheng's temperament, you paranoid temperament, what should I say about you?"
Zu Shi saw that he was stubborn, but he was really a little annoyed.
He restrained all his emotions and only said lightly: "Even if it's not for myself, it's not for the world, for the sake of my master, I have to continue to investigate this matter......
Hearing it in Zu Shi's ears, he had no choice but to sigh a few times, and then said to him: "But whoever makes you and me can be regarded as a year-old friend, and you are one of my few friends, so I will give you this thing......!
He flipped his hand, and there was an extra stone sword in his hand and then handed it to Mo Wunian's hand, there was one of his powers in it, as long as he was slightly guided by his spiritual power, the power in it could be stimulated.
As for half of what he said, Mo Wunian also understood the meaning, he said: "Then I hope that he really gets lost, otherwise your sword kills him, and it is also the foundation of Xuanzhen Kingdom." ”。
