Get what is due
The sword demon said a simple sentence, but revealed the slightest information that was not simple.
What is deserved? The sword demon is obviously a usurper who was bred by the pollution of monsters during the resurrection of Baili Sword God. Didn't he deserve to be crushed by justice and smashed to pieces
Why do you say this
However, when the Sword Demon said these words calmly, Wang Lu felt that he was not very surprised.
Because before that, I had already vaguely noticed it.
He just felt that the sword god beside Zhu Shiyao seemed too weak compared to the sword demon standing in a usurping position beside him.
From the beginning to the end, what did the sword god do
It was nothing more than snatching the big sister Zhu Shiyao as a follower and successor first, and then almost all of them were failures. It is really difficult to connect it with the sword god who ruled Kyushu thousands of years ago.
On the other hand, the Sword Demon really has the demeanor of a peerless old devil. He hides behind the scenes, and with a single sentence, he provokes four groups of people to dance in his palm, breaking through the gates one after another, first defeating the guardians who suppressed the Sword Demon, and then Before the Eight Doors Trial, he released a lot of negative emotions for his use, and later he even ran down to be his thug.
In the end, the weak defeated the strong and defeated the combination of Sword God and Zhu Shiyao. During this period, every step seemed like a miracle, and the difficulty was far beyond that of Sword God.
Compared with the orthodox successor, this usurper's realm seems to be higher, and when he thinks about it carefully, the sword god's behavior is quite difficult to justify, such as why he deliberately concealed his relationship with the elder sister ? It was even said that when they fought for the first time, the elder sister failed to recognize herself. Apart from the sword demon pouring demon energy into his body to cause trouble, could it be that the sword god was not responsible for it
How did the big sister's glasses break...
After that, why did he suddenly choose to seize the house? Moreover, isn't the behavior of seizing a house almost like a devil
Looking at it now, it seems that Sword Demon has given an excellent answer.
The Sword Demon turned his head to look at Wang Lu: "You guessed right, the so-called Sword God is just a usurper."
Wang Lu sighed inwardly, this is completely different from what he said before...
"What I said earlier was not a lie." The sword demon said, "It is true that he inherited the orthodoxy of Zhong Shengming during his lifetime, and I am just a demonized thing."
After a pause, the Sword Demon looked at Wang Lu playfully and said, "But this doesn't change the fact that he is a usurper, so can you guess the truth of the matter?"
Wang Lu thought for a while and gave an answer: "Did he usurp ten thousand years ago?"
"Very good." The Sword Demon nodded, "Continue talking."
The sword demon's attitude proved Wang Lu's conjecture, but this idea was too unbelievable for Wang Lu, so his speaking speed slowed down.
"It's like a change of dynasty. The original emperor was overthrown, and the leader of the rebel army ascended the throne, offering sacrifices to the heavens and the earth, and controlling the dragon veins. For the people of Li, it means that the dynasty has changed orthodox, but for the original emperor, rebellion will always be rebellion. .Then, you are the original emperor, and the Sword God is the rebel who usurped the throne?"
Speaking of this, it seems that things have been straightened out, but Wang Lu feels that there are more things that don't make sense.
"Will you be overthrown by that kind of thing? It doesn't make sense, and you were able to resist four or nine days of calamity during your lifetime, so it wouldn't be a feat accomplished with a split personality. It is even said that your Chaos Heaven Breaking Sword Qi is the most Pay attention to going forward, not to be eroded by the demons and become a split personality, it doesn't make sense."
Seeing that Wang Lu's reasoning was unsustainable up to this point, the Sword Demon opened his mouth and said, "The birth of the Sword God was an accident."
"Wait, the amount of information in this sentence is too much!"
The sword demon added: "It's not surprising that you can't deduce the truth, because your cognition of Zhong Shengming is wrong, and wrong information will naturally not deduce the correct result... Baili Sword God is a non-existent existence. If you Recalling carefully, I found that I never took the initiative to mention this word.”
Nothing! ? Where did this start
"Your knowledge of Baili Sword God Zhong Shengming comes from historical records—it is a matter of course. You are not a person who lived ten thousand years ago, so naturally you can only learn about it from books. But if you are lucky enough to be born ten thousand years ago, you will You should have heard of another name, Baili Sword Demon."
"Baili, Sword Demon?"
"Zhong Shengming has been undefeated all his life, and he loves to love and hate, but he never regarded himself as righteous. He snatched what he saw pleasing to the eye, and killed what he saw displeasing to the eye. The immortal way he cultivated could not be restrained by the nine heavens, let alone the sky. Not to mention the ethics and morality in the world, and a person who despises ethics and morality is naturally a demon. The Baili Sword Demon has a vicious name, and when Zhong Shengming was alive, I don’t know how many people would tremble because of his name."
Wang Lu was dumbfounded, this was completely different from the record in the book The Legend of Baili Feisheng, even the opposite! Although there are bound to be omissions in the history books after tens of thousands of years, such principled mistakes are really rare! A peerless devil with a vicious name covering Kyushu is not recorded in the history books, this...
"Zhong Shengming did whatever he wanted in his life, but his passion was almost all focused on the way of swordsmanship, and he didn't have much interest in everything in the world, so he didn't do many good or evil deeds, at least he was not qualified to stay. On top of the history books."
Wang Lu nodded, expressing his understanding. A biography of Baili's ascension records the deeds of many monks who have ascended and approached ascension for thousands of years. A thick book is spread evenly on each monk's head. As for the cultivation methods, as for the life story, naturally only select one or two representative ones.
As for Zhong Shengming... In fact, there is almost no mention of his life story in the original text. Apart from spending a lot of space describing the incredible power of the Chaos Heaven Breaking Sword, the most important thing is Zhong Shengming's feat of opening up the world and piercing through the catastrophe in Baili Prefecture during his lifetime. . As for what he did during his thousand years of cultivation, no matter whether it is good or bad, it is nothing compared to the earth-shattering battle in his lifetime...
Wait, that is to say...
Thinking of this, Wang Lu finally had inspiration: "The so-called Baili Sword God, is it just a rumor?"
The Sword Demon smiled lightly: "Compared to the great merit of opening up the path of ascension, everything in Zhong Shengming's life is insignificant. In terms of merit, it is not surprising that there are more gods than demons."
Wang Lu said: "So that's the case, but that's just the misunderstanding of the world. Zhong Shengming himself should not be influenced by foreign things. No matter whether the world praises him or not, it has nothing to do with him. He can't be said to have done a great job, and he suddenly becomes a moral saint. .”
"Don't you hear thousands of people point out that you die without illness? The human heart in the world has power. Maybe the mortals in the world of mortals have this power very weak, but the monks who set foot on the road to immortality are different. A tyrannical king can let Hundreds of millions of people have cursed and firmly held the throne, but no monk can withstand the unanimous reprimand of thousands of monks. Similarly, when all monks think that a person who benefits all living beings is a sword god, is he himself a god or a demon? It doesn't matter anymore."
The sword demon's smile was a bit mocking: "Zhong Shengming broke through the four or nine catastrophes, but he suffered from the backlash of the catastrophes. His soul was broken, his sword had no vigor, and the wishes of all living beings in the world contaminated his upper body. He couldn't help but become a god. Zhong Shengming chose to resist with all his strength. During the catastrophe, life and death were ignored, but I didn't want to die so unclearly."
Wang Lu nodded, expressing deep understanding: "At least when you die, your body will be innocent."
"But he was already seriously injured and dying at that time, and he was unable to cut off his wish power. Instead, he was constantly eroded by his wish power. Gradually, there were more things in his soul that did not belong to him..."
Speaking of this, the matter seemed to be the truth, Wang Lu continued: "So he dispersed the primordial spirit, and set up the method of dividing yin and yang with the sword, and experienced the transformation between life and death for thousands of years, filtered the primordial spirit, and reshaped it. Out of the two bodies of gods and demons, trace the source with the original?"
This reason seemed to be much smoother. Although Wang Lu still vaguely felt that there was some obstacle, most of the original mystery in his heart had been solved.
The only problem is...
"You revived yours, why bother to involve outsiders? At least the Sword God doesn't need to bring in foreign aid. After ten thousand years, he has already occupied the orthodox position and firmly suppressed you. Are certain factors causing trouble for yourself?"
The sword demon said: "As early as ten thousand years ago, Zhong Shengming anticipated the possible changes in the future. Before his death, his soul was eroded by the power of his wish, and the host and guest had already changed positions. If things continue like this, ten thousand years later, of course he will be the sword god." Stronger. That's why there is a rule that the two bodies of gods and demons cannot be directly contacted. Even if you want to kill the other party, you must use the hands of outsiders, because this is my only chance."
"I'm sure you've also seen that the Sword God has nothing special other than the power of his primordial spirit. If he confronts me directly, he is certainly not an opponent, but once more variables are introduced, his chances of winning will plummet."
Wang Lu said: "That's right, I feel that his every move is very clumsy."
"Because he's just a child." The Sword Demon said coldly, "He was born after Zhong Shengming's death, he was contaminated by the power of will, and he was conscious for no more than a month, so he is naturally clumsy."
"...that is, we're dying to die with a baby?"
"Although it is a baby, after all, it is a baby who has inherited Zhong Shengming's memory and most of the soul. Although it seems clumsy in dealing with people in the world, it is not stupid. Given time, it will be even more difficult to deal with."
"That's it... Then, can you answer me a question, since he is not an idiot, how should he explain why he lost Zhu Shiyao? He even intentionally damaged her glasses and blinded her vision when he came up, what is the reason?"
"Well, finally got to the point."
The sword demon nodded, and then stood up.
"Because seizing the house is destined to happen, and if you don't remove her glasses immediately, she will soon see it, and then you can't control it as a pawn."
"Then, I believe you can guess that not only the sword god needs to seize the body, but also me. Now after the battle between gods and demons, my primordial spirit has become complete. The next step is to find a body that can carry the primordial spirit." , and you are my chosen target."
Wang Lu was silent for a long time: "Didn't you say that after the state of fusion, the soul and the physical body can transform into each other? Doesn't it need to be seized?"
"It's true that it's not necessary, but it's not a waste to use the unsatisfactory Yuanshen Transformation instead of using the ancient Ethereal Root."
While the sword demon was speaking, the devilish energy overflowed from his body, and his killing intent was no longer restrained!
The sword demon Zhong Shengming is a person who does whatever he wants, grabs what he likes, and kills what he doesn't like!
