This name, which had been famous in the world of cultivating immortals for a hundred years and was revered as a generation of immortals, was uttered from the mouth of the reincarnation of the emperor at this moment, and the expressions of everyone changed from shock to horror.
After getting rid of Hua Xiangrong just now, Fan Wuxi who came chasing after Xie Bian was also stunned.
On Qi Mengsheng's old and rugged face, the cold expression was frozen like sealing wax. No one could see through her emotions, but everyone could feel the chilling aura emanating from her.
Lan Chuihan stared at Xie Bian: "Bian, what are you talking about?"
Xie Bian looked at Qi Mengsheng motionlessly: "The person in front of you, under Qi Mengsheng's body, is the human soul of Xu Zhinan, the former head of the Pure Yang Sect who has already died."
"How... is it possible..." Li Buyu made a hoarse voice, and then coughed violently twice, the crow-blue monk's uniform was covered with blood stars.
"It's ridiculous, do you know what you are talking about, wanting to slander Qi Xianzun, even Xu Xianzun who has passed away?"
"What kind of body, human soul, are you playing tricks?"
Xie Bian turned a deaf ear to those angry voices, and his eyes swept over those silent but terrified people, especially the disciples of the Cangyu Sect. Obsessed, but now
"Bian, make it clear." Lan Chuihan looked at Qi Mengsheng, he clenched his back molars, his face was a little distorted. He grew up in the Chunyang Sect. Although he was not Xu Zhinan's disciple, he had also been taught and praised by Xu Zhinan. Xu Zhinan's virtue was highly respected. Not only the Chunyang Sect disciples worshiped him as a god, but also the entire world of cultivating immortals and the people of Chu. I have a lot of respect for him.
Such a person had a relationship with the demon girl of Cangyumen, which was already a stain in his life. Now Xie Bian actually said that Xu Zhinan's soul was in Qi Mengsheng's body? !
Xie Bian took a deep breath: "It all started more than a hundred years ago. At that time, Chunyang Sect helped me arrest Chen Xingyong, the pill-stealing demon cultivator who had attacked me, and used Chen Xingyong to lure the person behind him, Dan Mai Home, that person is Yan Shu, the former head of Wuyun Sect, also known as Lu Zhaofeng."
Fan Wuxi's eyes dimmed.
These well-known names have all appeared in the chronicles of the world of cultivating immortals. Most people sound far away, but they are not unfamiliar. For the few people who experienced everything a hundred years ago, it is so heavy that it is difficult to breathe.
"Lu Zhaofeng set up a thunder and flint trap, killing and injuring many people from the Chunyang Sect. Among them, Cheng Yanzhi, who was also the head disciple of the Chunyang Sect, was seriously injured and was dying." Xie Bian continued, "Xu Zhinan back then, He should still really appreciate his junior, and was reluctant to lose this talented fairy, and felt ashamed, so he hung Cheng Yanzhi's life with the seven-star life-continuing lamp. The outside world thought that Cheng Yanzhi was seriously injured and died long ago. In fact, he has been alive, he has become a living corpse that cannot be separated from the seven-star life-extending lamp."
The story has been terrified enough so far that no one dared to breathe.
Qi Mengsheng closed his eyes.
Xie Bian showed a miserable smile: "Xu Zhinan, I believe that you really felt sorry and guilty for Cheng Zhenren back then, and you really only wanted him to live. I'm afraid you never thought that this would become like this between you two. Why? Is it because of your infinitely inflated desire, or because you all fell in love with Qi Mengsheng?"
"This... Cheng Yanzhi is a living corpse, why..."
"Because the seven-star life-continuing lamp, in addition to hanging the dying person, has another function unknown to the outside world, that is, it can exchange people's souls." Jie Bian looked at Zhaowen suddenly, "I believe you will also You've heard of it."
Zhaowen gasped, nodded tremblingly, and shivered towards Qi Mengsheng.
"During the ten years when I was Emperor Zong, the two of them exchanged human souls with the seven-star life-extending lamp several times. Xu Zhinan and Cheng Yanzhi have been sharing Xu Zhinan's body. I don't know what grievances and hatreds happened between the three of them. Qi Mengsheng wanted to find out My golden elixir cured Cheng Yanzhi's body, but she failed. On the night of falling into the Golden Crow five years ago, what died in Xu Zhinan's aging body was actually Cheng Yanzhi's human soul. Xu Zhinan didn't know what method he used, After exchanging human souls with Qi Mengsheng, now, the real Qi Mengsheng is actually sleeping in Cheng Yanzhi's living corpse. That living corpse has always been brought by his side, but now, it is in my hands."
Everyone was in an uproar.
"Qi Mengsheng", or the real Xu Zhinan, slowly opened his eyes, staring at Jie Bian coldly: "When did you know? In Chidi City?"
"No, after escaping from Chidi City and returning to the underworld, the master had many doubts about Cheng Yanzhi's words, and placed him in the Yan Luo Temple without reincarnation. I went to him and talked with him all night long, and gradually discovered his truth. There are frequent loopholes in my life experience, which are very different from the truth I know. And the human soul cannot lie, the only possibility is that he has also been deceived." Xie Bi said coldly, "I have been thinking for a long time, and Thinking of the few times I have been in contact with you, your look, your actions, our conversations, I gradually came up with this guess, and then I confirmed a few points from Hua Xiangrong, if you were Xu Zhinan, many things could be explained gone."
"Master..." An elder of the Cangyu Sect looked up at her head in fear, as if begging for a rebuttal.
Xu Zhinan smiled bluntly and said, "You guessed well, but it's too late."
The members of the Cangyu Sect and the members of the Chunyang Sect had complicated expressions. They didn't know how to deal with such absurd truth for a while.
"Is it too late?" Jie Bi'an said calmly, "You deceive, use, and hurt everyone who treats you sincerely, have you achieved your goal?"
Xu Zhinan's eyes froze: "Dijun, you won't understand."
"Why did you do this? Don't tell me that you did it for Qi Mengsheng. How did you treat her? You sealed her in the body of the living dead, and in her name, you fell into a demon, did evil, and left a bad reputation for thousands of years." Xie Bian's chest heaved violently. He said, "I used to trust you so much, and regarded you as my right-hand man. Everyone in my previous life betrayed me. I thought at least you were there, you! Xu Zhinan, why did you do this!"
Xu Zhinan's face wrinkled, with pain and madness: "I just want a... perfect body."
"... perfect flesh."
"I practice Chunyang Kung Fu. Although I have reached the peak of my life, the price is that I will never have offspring." Xu Zhinan's face became even more distorted, "My Xu family is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. I can build a foundation for generations to come, even if I can't, my descendants of the Xu family should carry it forward, but... But once I die, there will be nothing left, once everything is over, I can't cultivate immortality, and I can't pass on the family business. I have been cultivating hard all my life, what exactly have I planned?!"
"..."
It's like digging a dry well that has been dusty for a hundred years. Those shameful unwillingness and desires have been fermented for too long, and have turned into a stale, dirty, and rancid poisonous gas. Once released, it can no longer be covered up.
Xu Zhinan tremblingly said: "There is also Mengsheng. I have a deep affection for her, but she likes Cheng Yanzhi who just borrowed my body for a short time. Why?! The world seems to have everything I need, but in fact I have nothing and will not leave anything behind. "
"So you deceived them at the same time. You made Cheng Yanzhi think that he was ashamed of you all his life because he took your love, and you made him think that Qi Mengsheng was playing and manipulating your feelings and wanted to use you to take my golden core, and you made Qi Mengsheng At first I thought you were the same person, but after the incident was revealed, I told her that only my golden pill could heal Cheng Yanzhi's body, and wanted to use her hands to dig out my pill." Creepy, "Xu Zhinan, this is your 'passionate love' for her? You are delaying her life, and when she is about to die, you still have to use her body, her fame, her magic weapon, and her disciples to go through fire and water for you. If you want to take my golden elixir and refine it into a top-notch human emperor, and exchange your human soul back to Cheng Yanzhi's body, you can get a youthful body with excellent bones, and maybe the top-notch human emperor can also let you get rid of it. The shackles of the Pure Yang Cultivation Technique are passed on to the heirs, right?"
Xu Zhinan said sadly: "I have deep affection for her, but she...she is so stubborn, why should she fall in love with others through my body? Cangyumen can develop and grow to this point, I have secretly helped a lot. I use it for granted, and when I am brought back to life in Cheng Yanzhi's body, I will naturally find a young and perfect body for her."
"Qi Mengsheng will only despise what you do." Xie Bian shook her head, her expression as cold as frost, "It seems that she is smarter than all of us, only she sees through your despicable nature and hypocritical personality, so she I would rather like a living dead than I will never like you."
Xu Zhinan's eyes were grim: "You're right, you and her may be the same kind of people, living in a self-righteous fantasy, sticking to a self-righteous Taoist heart, once you discover the cruel truth, you will think that the world is collapsing towards you. It’s so pickled and rotten, why should you clean yourself up.”
Hearing this, Xie Bian was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "I used to think you were a smart and intelligent person, but it's a pity that you have cultivated the Tao all your life, and you are still crazy about worldly utilitarianism. It is indeed a waste of cultivation." After he confirmed Xu Zhinan's What he did, when he knew that in his previous life, from birth to death, he did not get a sincere person, he was already numb, and he could hardly feel the sadness and indignation. Looking back on the past, he was torn apart by everyone around him, and then he felt relieved, knowing that he had fallen to the bottom of the abyss and could no longer fall.
Xu Zhinan shook his head slowly: "Ziheng, I didn't want to harm you, but I am not willing. You and I are mortals, since we can't cultivate into immortals, why bother to be refined."
"There is one most simple truth in this world, which is far more important than cultivating the Tao and making achievements. Do you know what it is?" Xie Bian held the Junlan sword tightly, and couldn't help but recall the friendship when Xu Zhinan gave the sword back then, feeling sad in his heart .
"… What."
"Be a good person."
