"It's not difficult to seal the children of the Shadow Clan," Sheng Lingyuan thought for a while, but he still wanted to know where these Shadow Clans came from and what their relationship was with the missing Granny Yu, so he turned around and asked Wang Ze, "Have you ever Marriage?"
When Wang Ze first heard such an ancient question, he froze for a moment.
Gu Yuexi whispered next to her, "I'm just asking if you have a partner."
"Yes," Wang Ze opened his mouth and said, "Across China, Japan and South Korea, across Europe, America and Asia, there are no picks about fat or thin, sisters are all good, and they are all on TV. Who do you ask? Let me introduce you."
Xuan Ji: "It means he is an old bachelor."
Sheng Lingyuan said: "Before the Shadow Clan becomes an adult, their intelligence will be undeveloped, and they will have to transform into a form to speak clearly. Since you are not married yet, it is no trouble if you want to come home. Do you want to bring a Shadow Clan back?"
Wang Ze pointed at himself in shock, and looked left and right.
"Don't look at other people," Zhang Zhao pushed him, "We were all inside just now, and you were the only one who heard the sound, which means that they are looking at you."
"No, it was too sudden." Wang Ze was dumbfounded, "This... this is not so good, the blind date show has to turn off several rounds of lights, and I... I can't just sacrifice my life and get married at an early age just because of work!"
Sheng Lingyuan didn't understand a few terms: "I didn't mean to let you marry Shadow Slave."
Zhang Zhao and others were still booing: "Boss, didn't you just say that you were still a little cautious?"
"With wives all over the world like you, if the filmmaker wants to satisfy your fantasy, what kind of beautiful face of mixed blood from eighteen countries must he have? Why don't you try?"
"Didn't Director Xuan say that the Shadow Clan wouldn't be able to live for a few years if they didn't change their forms, so you can live on as a human being."
Wang Ze suddenly noticed that when Xuan Ji mentioned the Shadow Clan, he usually called it "Shadowman". When Sheng Lingyuan came here, they were all "Shadow Slaves". "Shadow Clan" is regarded as cats and dogs pets, quite arrogant and very inconsistent with mainstream values.
Wang Ze scratched his hair: "Wait, don't mess it up, anyway, then I have to take responsibility."
"If you don't want to be responsible, you can hand it over to the country," Gu Yuexi said, "Our bureau has a 'rare species protection fund', send it to the bureau, anyway, it's just to let you make the shadow figure into a shape, I heard Director Xuan's meaning, It’s probably similar to donating sperm, you don’t have to be by your side after you’re finished, you can live a free life by yourself, maybe you, a ‘daughter’, can become our colleague in the future.”
Xuan Ji pondered for a moment: "This is really different-the offspring you gave birth to are independent, and they can grow up to be anything. If the education is not good, there is a high probability that they will become the antonym of your ideal, and they will specifically cheat you in the future. But the film people No, the shadow man who borrowed your form will grow up according to your wishes all his life, no matter whether he is with you or not."
Wang Ze asked: "Let me 'peep pee pee' first—what if I die?"
"Shadowman will die with you, or become your living will."
After Wang Ze heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head: "Doesn't that mean that after I die, no matter how the environment changes in the future, his level of thought will always stay at the level when I died? Isn't that a 'Eighty dead, eight hundred buried' living dead?"
"It's more likely to be a paranoid." Xuan Ji sighed.
In fact, the thoughts of normal people are constantly changing, and the situation changes with the situation. When encountering different situations, people will use completely different evaluation standards and ways of thinking when dealing with them—for example, some people say "the most taboo restraint ", and was later tied to a chair with a seat belt, and I didn't see any objection from him.
But after the shadow people lost their masters, their brains became stagnant, and they lost the ability to change flexibly. Over time, the world of these shadow people would become either black or white, and their long lives gave them powerful abilities...
Xuan Ji glanced at Sheng Lingyuan vaguely.
"Well, that's right," Sheng Lingyuan nodded, "From the eighth year of Qizheng, when the master dies, the shadow slave dies. All shadow people without a master will be treated as living corpse puppets, and Qing Pingsi will deal with them immediately."
Those who can afford to support filmmakers are mostly dignitaries. The Shadow Clan is no different from human beings after incarnation. In order to protect them, the master who is fascinated by the Shadow Clan will often not reveal their race, so as time goes by, the status of these Shadow Clan will often rise with the tide. "
Yang Chao suddenly realized: "No wonder! I understand. According to history books, Emperor Wu's temperament changed drastically in the middle and late stages. After killing the queen mother and emperor's teacher, he became extremely fearful and suspicious. He eliminated dissidents to the point of madness. He still has a A secret agent who monitors the words and deeds of the courtiers for him every day. Once they are spotted by them, they will be secretly imprisoned immediately and executed without judgment. At one time, everyone in the imperial capital was in danger, and the ministers went to court every day as if they were going to a grave. During the thirteen-year dark reign, I don’t know how many people were secretly purged, even women and children, and many loyal widows are also on the death list... So this is actually purging the Shadow Clan who lost their master?"
"That's not necessarily true," Sheng Lingyuan smiled nonchalantly after hearing this, "There are indeed quite a few real 'dissidents' here, and it's all in one pot."
Yang Chao looked at him adoringly: "How do you know everything?"
"It's just a long life," Sheng Lingyuan waved his hand, "Forget it, since I don't want to, I'll think of another way."
As he said that, he raised his legs to walk into the ancestral hall, and Xuan Ji immediately followed. Sheng Lingyuan looked back at his vigilant look, and couldn't help but want to tease him, so he chuckled softly: "The teeth are all down, so it's too late." Don't worry about me?"
Xuan Ji rolled her eyes: "I'm afraid that your majesty is unmarried and has nothing to worry about, so it's okay—be careful, I don't think it's right, first the witch people, then the mountain people, and now the shadow people, all the people who have disappeared for many years The re-emergence of races, coupled with the recent sudden increase in the awakening rate of special abilities... I always feel that there is a relationship between them."
Sheng Lingyuan: "Huh?"
Xuan Ji stopped her mouth abruptly.
The person who manipulated the gloomy festival behind the scenes must also "live a long time", long enough to know the truth hidden three thousand years ago. If this is the case, then what did this villain do long ago
Can procrastination last for three thousand years
The reasonable explanation that Xuan Ji could come up with could only be related to himself.
The thirty-six Vermilion Bird bones that sealed Chi Yuan were gradually consumed due to his ineffective guarding, and only one remains. The last Suzaku bone was born less than 80 years ago. Xuanji didn't know it before, and it was difficult to find reliable census records in the war-torn years before the founding of the People's Republic of China. But after the memory was unsealed, he discovered that in the past 80 years, The birth rate of special abilities is significantly higher than before, and the scale and frequency of "abnormal energy events" have also increased significantly... so that "Qingping Division", which has been eliminated by history, has to be re-established in the form of "Different Control Bureau". now.
Theoretically speaking, demons will not die, they will just "disappear", just like a dry river, if there is no water source, the river will of course disappear. However, if the geological environment remains unchanged, one day new water sources will be injected, and the river will reappear.
And the sealed Chiyuan is the "water source", from Aluojin to King Weiyu...Sheng Lingyuan, whether it is a human demon or a heavenly demon, they can be easily awakened by the gloomy sacrifice, which means that Chiyuan is "seeping water".
The people behind the gloomy festival wanted to rekindle Chi Yuan, and he probably lived on Chi Yuan's energy. The reason why he stopped being a demon for three thousand years was because Chi Yuan's seal was loosening, and he couldn't seal him anymore. .
What will happen if this continues
So he can see Lingyuan again, it's not "lost and found" at all... Is it just a side effect of Chiyuan's seal being broken
Xuan Ji should have understood these things the moment he retrieved his memory, but the first thirty-five times, except for the memory, there was only despair, only this time was different.
The great sorrow and joy exhausted him physically and mentally, and it was only now that he calmed down a little.
At the same time, Xuan Ji's heart turned cold, and his eyes fell on Sheng Lingyuan's back.
Your Majesty is not a love brain, maybe he even noticed it when he was awakened by the gloomy sacrifice.
I don't know if it was Xuan Ji's illusion, but he suddenly found that Sheng Lingyuan's footsteps were a little heavy.
Xuan Ji grabbed him: "Wait, what's your matter, you need to discuss it with me, don't hide it from me."
Sheng Lingyuan: "Well, if you say that, there is one more thing."
He was suddenly serious, Xuan Ji hurriedly asked: "What?"
As they approached the ancestral hall and the cemetery, Xuan Ji could already feel the little shadow figures moving around.
A black mist began to rise from the palm of Sheng Lingyuan's palm, and it floated into the air, condensing into a spell with complex lines.
"Fortunately, the Shadow Slave was interrupted in time when he was halfway transformed," Sheng Lingyuan said, "I had never seen your real body at that time, and I always thought that such a cute person would not be too handsome, otherwise, how good would it be to be called an ordinary person? I didn't expect... If that Shadow Slave turned into what I imagined, wouldn't she be an abrupt beauty? No wonder Xiaoji was so angry back then."
"I'm telling you something serious, how many serious words can I have throughout the year? Please cherish it!" Xuan Ji threw him away, "Isn't that going to be a bad thing?"
The spell on the black mist was basically formed, and the coercion of the heavenly demon spread, and the whispering little shadow people dared not speak out, and the surroundings were completely silent for a while.
Sheng Lingyuan: "Come out!"
The black mist talisman shattered into several pieces, and entered into the middle of the ancestral hall and the cemetery like a whirlwind, and a few childish screams sounded, and then, the black mist condensed into small cages in the air, trapping a person in each small cage. Only a little shadow man.
The shapeless shadow figure is less than two feet tall, like a pearl-colored liquid, constantly transforming. Some sensed that a powerful alien was nearby, and tried to borrow the form of an alien. As soon as their chest flashed, a whip appeared on the black fog cage and whipped up. The little shadow man screamed mournfully, curled up into a ball, and dared not move up.
Sheng Lingyuan glanced across the row of little shadow figures, and said in a low voice, "I didn't mean to bully you, I like to watch you suffer."
Xuan Ji said unhappily, "Your Majesty's ambition is really noble."
"Tong is surrounded by groups of relatives and friends, full of flowers, it's too lively," Sheng Lingyuan murmured, her beautiful side face was actually a bit lonely, "I want to disturb you, let you just look at me and circle around me, Sometimes I can't help but get mad at you."
Xuan Ji's heart was pierced by him in an instant: "Lingyuan..."
Sheng Lingyuan turned his head to look over, the emotion in his eyes seemed to be overflowing, as if thousands of words were in silence... Just like before he had carefully crafted a scam and didn't know who to deceive.
Xuan Ji woke up in an instant, her veins twitching violently: "Don't do this to me, don't try to interrupt!"
Sheng Lingyuan laughed, and the loneliness he had just pretended was gone. He squeezed his fingers tightly, and pulled out two spikes from the black fog cage that closed one of the little shadow figures, and pierced them into the shadow figure's body.
"Since all of you are unwilling to give up your life to transform into a shadow figure, if you can't find out if you ask, I'll try to search my soul."
"Soul search" is a kind of sorcery, not as magical as it is in the legend, it can "search people's consciousness at will" or something - because when people are in extreme panic and pain, their consciousness is basically blank except for fighting or fleeing One piece, digging out the brain can't find anything useful-this is specially used on shadow people, shadow people are like parasitic vines, all sorrows and joys come from others. For the transformed shadow man, the soul search can be traced back to his master. Qing Pingsi used this to secretly arrest the shadow slave of the "living dead".
A shadowman without a form has a simpler mind, almost no thoughts of his own, like a faithful lens that can record everyone and everything he has come into contact with.
The little shadow man who fell into the hands of the big devil let out a scream and struggled violently.
Some scenes unfolded in front of Sheng Lingyuan - the intrusion of foreign agents from the foreign control bureau, villagers worshiping ancestors... all happened recently, and going forward, it was a blur.
This shows that the little shadow man was probably sealed before, using the spell that the shadow dealer used to deliver the goods.
Immediately afterwards, different scenery appeared in the picture, Sheng Lingyuan was taken aback, he could tell without asking Xuan Ji, that the characters on the picture were quite old, closer to the appearance he remembered three thousand years ago.
The lifespan of shadow people without form is twenty or thirty years. After being sealed for such a long time, there is no way these little things are still alive!
With a twitch in the corner of Sheng Lingyuan's eyes, he immediately quit the soul search, but it was too late.
A faceless person suddenly appeared on the screen: "I have been waiting for a long time, Your Majesty."
The cage of the black mist exploded at the same time, and at the same time, the energy detectors of the field workers rang in unison, and the meters exploded.
The spell came back, Sheng Lingyuan took a quick step back, the Suzaku blood that had been throbbing throbbed in his chest—
