"...Then Li Sanyuan enlightened his wisdom overnight, from born ignorant to extremely intelligent, is it because of your third brother?"
The story told by Yuan Liu clearly only the person concerned knew the inside story, which means that he? revealed.
"Yes, the third brother has been gone for more than a year without a trace." Yuan Liu hesitated for a while, and then said, "I also found the old house of the Li family and found the letter that the third brother secretly left for us. I know the inside story of this incident of repaying a favor back then."
"It's just sending a spirit fruit to enlighten a foolish child. Is there such an urgency?" Yuan didn't want to glance at him, and said lazily, "If you don't know the inside story, I'm afraid you still think Your third brother has encountered a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, and if there is a slight delay, you will miss it, so that you don’t even have time to notify you, so you can only leave a handwritten note in a hurry, and you will not find out until many years later."
The smile on Yuanshan's lips was slightly stiff.
But the posture of Yuan Buwei was more leisurely.
He casually played with the trembling little hair ball in his hand, and continued in a casual tone: "For example, a good body is in front of you, and the original owner of the body may have an accident, and the soul is about to disperse. , so don't you have to hurry up and settle in?"
Yuan Liu's pupils shrank suddenly, his whole body tensed up, and he stood stiffly in place, with a dry smile on his mouth: "Senior said? You laughed..."
At this moment, it was like seeing a frightened fat squirrel, staring at a pair of round and vigilant eyes, the hair and tail of the whole body were about to explode.
The little ball of hair in his hand has exploded, but it was not in the form he imagined. This chubby little squirrel wagged its tail and said in a frightened voice: "No, third brother? Possessed by humans, we all It’s a good monster! Don’t, don’t eat me, my meat is less delicious, and the sixth brother is more delicious! Yes, I stink, the sixth brother smells good!”
Its whole hairball was shaking, and its voice was shaking too.
Yuan Liu: ""
Looking at them like this, if this little hairball is in their hands, I'm afraid they can cook a meal of squirrel mandarin fish on the spot.
Yuan shook his head not because it was funny: "I told you, it's just an analogy, don't be so excited."
Yuan Liu sighed: "I still can't hide it from seniors."
"Yes," he? said?, "Li Sanyuan is my third brother."
After speaking, he hurriedly defended: "However, my third brother is definitely not that kind of monster who forcibly possesses and steals human bodies. According to his handwriting, the young grandson of the Li family has a congenital soul defect and died young. On the day my third elder brother arrived, it seemed that the child would not be able to survive, and Mr. Li was so sad that he cried loudly in the courtyard."
Yuan San's original intention was to repay his kindness. Hearing Mr. Li's cry, he also wanted to contribute. But he? Even if he is already a big demon, how can he have the ability to change his life against the sky and bring the dead back to life? So I asked Mr. Li to make another wish.
Mr. Li just wanted to preserve the legacy of the Li family's incense, so Yuan San reincarnated himself as a demon spirit at the moment the child's soul dissipated, and entered his body. Only then did the story of Li Sanyuan's overnight enlightenment come into being.
This is the true process of repaying gratitude recorded in the letter Yuansan left to them. What kind of Tianxuan fruit is all made up by Yuan Liu. After all, only? This? Such? Mysterious stories can attract ordinary people more.
Mr. Li made a wish, and Yuan San possessed and reincarnated. In a sense, this is also a kind of vow? Originally, it was not for an instant that he thought of the monster possession method he knew before.
He secretly thought in his heart: "Yuan San's choice of possessing a body must not only be a repayment, it should also be an opportunity for him. Otherwise, after many years of cultivation, he gave up and reincarnated as an ordinary person. The price is too high."
... There is also the demon king Li Mo, who keeps saying that his body is dead and his demon soul is weak, and he must find a specific human body to be resurrected. But seeing that the four corpses in Aisle Zhenguan didn't do anything, I certainly wouldn't believe their nonsense. This guy might have been in his prime all along, but he was just pretending to be weak to trick Princess Yuhua into contributing.
And Li Mo, the majestic demon king, even used the trick of sacrificing himself? My beauty, isn't it just greedy for his body
Everything was connected in my mind, and I didn't want to suddenly look at Yuanliu who was uneasy: "Is the human body important to your monster race? Even, only? Owning a human body can you step out of the key to practice. step?"
Yuan San was stunned.
Yuan nodded unreasonably: "It seems that I guessed correctly."
The most important secret was uncovered by Yuan Buwei, and Yuan San no longer concealed it. He said in a deep voice: "Senior, I don't know anything. My monster race doesn't have any skills. From enlightenment to transformation, all rely on natural talent. If you want to improve your cultivation, you can only practice human race skills... "
But after all, there are some flaws in the body of a monster when it is cultivated into a human form. Ordinary little monsters can't detect it, but the monsters with high talents can feel the existence of the upper limit. When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one will reach the ceiling, and it will be difficult to make further progress. Only by reincarnating as a human can the path of cultivation be unimpeded. If the opportunity is sufficient, one might be able to ascend to immortality.
Most of the monster races don't know this secret, and the few who know it won't reveal it. It's common for human ascetics to see monsters possessing human bodies, and they never think about it.
Later, Yuan Liu explained the method of reincarnation among the monster clan. There are two methods.
One is the orthodox reincarnation, that is, shedding the demon body and finding a family to make a "vow" with oneself—in other words, there is a cause and effect, a fate—with a little demon spirit thrown into the soul. Among the fetuses born, it is equivalent to reincarnation. When the memory of the previous life is awakened in the future, you can use the previous life's merits to step into the path of practice.
There is another kind of seizing the house like Li Mo. Make a vow with someone by force or fraud, and then swallow the soul and attach to the body—the advantage of this method is that you can actively choose a body with good qualifications. But once it is discovered by ascetics, it will definitely not die.
"...Many? ascetics? are hostile to our monster clan. Even if they erase their past and reincarnate without doing evil things, they will end up bad if they find out." So far , Yuan Liu made a long bow, and said apologetically, "This junior doesn't have the intention to hide it, but he is worried that telling the story of the third brother's reincarnation will offend the senior, so he dare not reveal the truth."
... Although Yuansan's situation is not an orthodox reincarnation, it is almost the same. The soul of the real Li Sanyuan is gone. He? The demon spirit settled here, and he also sealed off all his own memories and grew up as a mortal.
Yuan Buwei rubbed the dumpling in his hands, and said with a light smile, "It seems that Li Sanyuan's death was not easy."
A mere plague can also deal with the reincarnation of a great demon, a monk who awakens his memory? That would be too ridiculous—at the age of Li Sanyuan's death, he must have awakened part of his previous memory.
Having said so much, Yuan San no longer continued to hide it: "To tell the truth to seniors, in the past few years since the third brother left, we have only heard from him once, that is fourteen years Before... he? used the secret method of burning blood, and only passed one word to us - escape!"
Yuan Buwei rubbed the hair ball subconsciously again, until the little guy was about to explode: "What? Means. Fourteen years ago? Didn't Li Sanyuan die in the 'plague' fourteen years ago?"
Yuan Liu looked in a trance and didn't say anything. Recalling the events of that year, his expression became gloomy, and he gritted his teeth again: "That day, Xiaoqi sneaked out of the valley out of fun, so I went outside to look for him. When I rushed home, the valley had been destroyed... everything They're all gone, they're all dead...I'm not reconciled, third brother, he?...I want to know what happened to third brother, is it him? He leaked the location of the valley, why did the murderer want to slaughter my family...I want revenge!"
When it came to the latter part, it was probably because he was too emotional, and Yuan Liu's words were somewhat incoherent and confusing.
Yuan ignored them, let them vent their emotions, and sorted out their fragmented words at the same time:
——More than 30 years ago, Yuan San achieved success in cultivation and went to Li's mansion to repay his favor. He was reincarnated as Li Sanyuan, and gradually rose to prominence until he died of "epidemic" fourteen years ago.
But just before he died, he sent a signal to Yuan Liu and others to flee, and he just died on the front foot, and the other demons in the clan were wiped out, only Yuan Liu Yuan Qi survived.
In order to get revenge, Yuan Liu secretly investigated along the trajectory of Yuan San's departure. First, he saw Yuan San's handwriting in Li's old mansion, and knew his identity after reincarnation. Afterwards, he probably conducted a lot of secret investigations around Li Sanyuan.
He must have grasped a lot of evidence pointing to the murderer in his hands, and this time he came to the capital to tell the story of Li Sanyuan in front of a large crowd, maybe he was trying to scare the snake out of the hole and lure the murderer out.
Thinking about this, Yuan did not hesitate to ask bluntly: "Are you using yourself as bait to fish?"
At six o'clock Yuan, he nodded and admitted: "Senior is right. I have told stories in several teahouses and restaurants in the past few days. Perhaps the real culprit behind the scene has already targeted me."
...Of course, that will also focus on this senior. If so, what if, with this inscrutable senior, maybe he can still entrust Xiaoqi to pay
"Be careful that the fish is too big, it broke the fishing line and swallowed the bait." Yuan Buwei seemed to see his thoughts, rubbed the little hairball, and said something casually.
Yuan Liu nodded silently and said nothing.
... He feels that his cultivation is not too low, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to lure snakes out of their holes in the capital of Daxia. It was purely an accident to meet this mysterious and unpredictable master, but such a master It's not the Chinese cabbage in the field, he? He won't meet twice in a short period of time, right
I didn't care about him? What did I think? I fell into deep thought.
Judging from the information disclosed by Yuan Liu, it is likely that something went wrong with Yuan San and his identity was exposed, which attracted the coveted eyes of the enemy or other people.
After Yuansan's reincarnation, the memories of the past should gradually recover, the more he remembered? The more cautious he should be. The most likely time point of exposure? On the contrary, it is when the memory is first awakened.
Because at this time, he was just a young man who had just had an adventure, and maybe his acting skills were not good enough to reveal his magic, or he directly told his secrets to someone he trusted.
A familiar candidate appeared from Yuan Buwei's mind.
"...Is it the emperor?"
In this world, there are no immortals, monsters, gods and Buddhas, and there is no supernatural power on the surface. However, this emperor wanted to seek Taoism and immortality as early as when he was a prince, and pursued the illusion that the world thought did not exist. Power... Maybe it's because, to them, this is not illusory, they are very sure that there are immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas in this world!
So, what made him so determined
—It is very likely that Li Sanyuan took the initiative to reveal his secret, or let them discover the abnormality due to negligence.
And knowing that there are immortals, monsters, gods and Buddhas in this world, and yearning for this power, they may have encountered setbacks with Li Sanyuan, so they set their sights on Yandang Mountain
"If it's really the emperor, then Master Chi Xiao, no, Li Mo's matter, wouldn't he know? Maybe he? He and Li Mo had already reached an agreement to cooperate in private?"
Thinking about this, Yuan Buwei suddenly said, "Do you have a target you suspect? The reason why you can only try to lure him out is because you can't find him?"
Yuan Liu's expression was shaken, and he said after a long while: "I suspect that Da Xiazi is the son of today. He has the best relationship with my third brother, and he has the ability to secretly mobilize people to burn Yandang Mountain without being detected... But, I can't get in to the palace."
"The imperial palace is the place where the dragon energy of the Great Xia gathers, and it suppresses the monster energy extremely. If you break into it, there will be no one in ten."
"But now there is? A demon king is in the palace."
When Yuan Liu heard this, he immediately retorted: "This? Impossible! The stronger the demon, the more oppressed it will be."
It's not because the corners of his lips are bent, it's a smile that's not a smile.
When he saw the dense dragon aura in the palace for the first time and learned that Li Mo was able to jump around alive and kicking here, he already guessed something.
"What if the master of the palace acquiesces?"
