Who is Chen Changsheng
He is Jiang Liu'er picked up by Taoist Ji in the stream.
He is a young Taoist priest from Xining who is married to Xu Yourong, the true daughter of Tianfeng.
He is the successor of the state religion, the successor of the Pope.
He has read Daozang thoroughly, is extremely talented, and is a genius in swordsmanship.
But who is he
He looked into the eyes of old man Tianji, and asked very seriously: "Am I Prince Zhaoming?"
This is one of the most sensational yet secretive rumors in Kyoto in the past year.
No one knows the answer.
It is said that old man Tianji knows everything, so does he know it
This question is simple and direct, and extremely sharp, like Su Li's sword or Wang Po's knife.
Even if Old Man Tianji was mentally prepared for this, he still narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, but he finally said, "Your Majesty asked me to make a special trip to Kyoto to see you, but I actually wanted to ask the same question."
Chen Changsheng thought to himself that this was the question he wanted to know the most, and said, "The result?"
The old man Tianji said: "There is no result, because...you and Prince Zhaoming are not the same age."
Chen Changsheng didn't relax because of this answer because of two reasons.
He calculated carefully, and although he and Prince Zhaoming were not in the same age group, Senior Brother Yu Ren happened to be in the same age group. Moreover, the old man Tianji's words implied a deep meaning, because the age was not matched, so there was no result, so does this mean that as long as the age is matched, from all aspects, he should be Prince Zhaoming
"If you really match the age of Prince Zhaoming, this matter will be wrong."
"Why?"
"Because it's so right."
It's wrong because it's too right. This sounds a bit mysterious, but Chen Changsheng understood it easily. If he and Prince Zhaoming were of the same age, the rumors in the capital would easily come true, and those hidden winds and thunders would burst open, or tear apart the shady scene in Kyoto, or blow him to pieces.
Old Man Tianji's next words woke Chen Changsheng up with a start, and his body became a little stiff.
"I know you have a senior brother, he is about the same age as Prince Zhaoming."
Old Man Tianji looked into his eyes and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not saying that he is Prince Zhaoming."
Chen Changsheng asked, "Why?"
Old Man Tianji said: "Because he is completely compatible with Prince Zhaoming."
Chen Changsheng didn't know what to say.
"I have always admired the thousands of ways of the dean of business."
The old man Tianji said calmly: "It's a pity that you can't hide it from me."
Chen Changsheng didn't ask why he couldn't hide it from him. His mind at this moment was completely elsewhere.
He remembered a volume of Taoism, that volume of Taoism is called Time and Yin Jing, and time... is age.
"Could it be that apart from age... other aspects, I can match Prince Zhaoming?"
"Yes, I'm sure you are the descendant of the Chen family."
Hearing these words, Chen Changsheng could no longer keep calm.
In the rumors or rumors circulating in the capital, before saying that he was Prince Zhaoming, of course he would first be mentioned as a member of the royal family.
"Why? Why is everyone sure that I am a royal? Is it because my surname is Chen?"
He looked at the old man Tianji and asked, but he didn't realize that his voice was a little higher than usual.
It was rare for him to be in such an agitated situation.
The garden was filled with thick fog, and the conversation between him and old man Tianji was tightly isolated inside, absolutely no one could hear it.
"Why can you be sure that you are a royal family?"
Old Man Tianji looked at him, with complicated emotions in his eyes, and said, "Because you once had a sun disc in your body."
"Sun wheel?"
Chen Changsheng was no stranger to this word, although since Tianhai Shenghou came to power and all members of the royal family were sent out of Kyoto, very few people would mention this word.
Back then, the Chen royal family came out of Tianliang County to rule the world, and peerless powerhouses such as Chen Xuanba and Emperor Taizong appeared one after another, because the blood of the Chen family was inherently unique. Their practice is different from that of other sects. The specific differences are of course the biggest secret of the royal family, but the word "sun wheel" is still passed down.
Chen Changsheng recalled the process of cultivating Taoism after arriving in Kyoto from Xining, especially the countless times of self-contemplation, and shook his head: "No, I didn't find any sun disc in my body."
"That's because the sun disk inside you was destroyed, or more precisely, blown up a long time ago."
Old Man Tianji looked at him quietly, not sure if it was an illusion, but Chen Changsheng always felt that there was some pity in the other's eyes.
"How is this possible? If it's true, as you said, there was a sun disk in my body, and then it blew up, why didn't I feel anything?"
"That's because you're just a baby when the sun disk inside you is destroyed."
"...But even so, why has no one noticed the traces of the sun in my body before? Why didn't you find it when you visited me in Kyoto last time?"
Chen Changsheng still couldn't accept this kind of inference, even if the person who said it was old man Tianji.
"Because your realm was not enough at that time, as your cultivation base gradually deepened, the starlight entered your body, and the meridian became clearer, so I can finally confirm it."
"Aren't you talking about the explosion of the sun wheel? Why did you mention meridians again?"
"You...is your meridian broken, and you have always had problems with the movement of your true essence?"
The old man Tianji looked into his eyes and asked.
Chen Changsheng was shocked and speechless.
Just like blood, blocked or broken meridians are also the biggest secret of his body.
This secret is even more frightening, because according to the master, the problem with his meridians will directly cause him to die at the age of twenty.
He did not expect that this secret would be so easily discovered by old man Tianji, and then he revealed it.
It's just... What does the broken meridian have to do with him being a royal? What does it have to do with the sun wheel
Old Man Tianji raised his right hand, across the table, and pointed at a place between Chen Changsheng's chest and abdomen.
"When you were a baby, the sun disc exploded here, and then spread like a spider web, cutting off your nine meridians."
"You want to ask what is the relationship between the broken meridian and the explosion of the sun wheel?"
"Your broken meridian is the trace of the explosion of the sun wheel, and it is the most direct evidence."
"Among the countless people in the world, only you have this phenomenon of damaged meridians."
"So you are from the Chen royal family."
"Of course, you are a very unfortunate royal family."
"It stands to reason that you, as a baby, should have died the moment the sun disc exploded."
"But you survived, which is already a miracle in itself."
All was quiet in the garden.
The fog became extremely thick.
The field was as warm as spring, suddenly cold as severe winter.
Chen Changsheng was silent for a long time without speaking.
Until a long time later, he looked at old man Tianji and asked, "But...will he still die?"
This time, it was Old Man Tianji's turn to be silent.
