The ex of the scumbag who was dressed as a black heart lotus [Transmigration Book]

"After the Zhou family rebellion that year, more than a hundred members of the Zhou family were killed in the sea of ​​flames. Their faces were completely changed and they couldn't be distinguished. So..."

"That's why we can only erect a stele without words." Zhou Lang accepted the words with a calm expression, and squatted down in front of a tombstone.

The tombstone is inserted obliquely into the soil under the feet. After more than ten years of sun and rain, the surface has already become mottled, full of traces of the passage of time.

Behind each tombstone is a small soil bag with weeds overgrown, summer insects hiding in it, and the sound of insects singing.

Zhou Lang squatted quietly in front of the wordless stele, with a somewhat empty expression.

He didn't know what expression to make at the moment to be more appropriate.

grief?He couldn't remember anything, let alone grief.

Indifferent?After all, it was his blood relatives who were buried here.

So there was nothing but bewilderment on his face.

But there is no sadness in my heart.

Su Qingchen stood beside Zhou Lang with her head down, her dark eyes flickered with fluorescent lights, and she didn't make a sound to disturb her.

This is not so much the cemetery of the Zhou family, as it is a mass grave.

Even if he can't remember clearly, Zhou Lang can still imagine the scene of the day when the bones were buried.

After the fire, everyone was burnt beyond recognition, unable to recognize their original appearance.Not to mention the coffin, I am afraid that there is not even a straw to wrap the body, so it was thrown into a pit dug out at random.

A fistful of loess falls, dust to dust to dust.No matter how great your ability is in life, you will inevitably become the nourishment of worms after death.

After a long time, Zhou Lang suddenly snorted, looked up at Su Qingchen, and said, "What are you going to say to me?"

In the past six months, Zhou Lang thought about asking Su Qingchen about the Zhou family countless times, but he never asked.

Because he dared not ask.

Su Qingchen must have his reasons for hiding it from him.

Zhou Lang couldn't guess the reason for this, but he always thought that the truth might not be what he liked to hear.

So it has been delayed until now and has not been said.

But Zhou Lang could not remain indifferent to the past.

The past and the past are all blank, so that he always has a feeling that his life is not complete.The more I can't remember what happened to the Zhou family, the more curious I am about what happened back then.

Among them, not only Zhou Lang's curiosity about his past, but also his curiosity about Su Qingchen's past.

Facing Zhou Lang's doubts, Su Qingchen did not answer.

His gaze was impartial, firmly fixed on Zhou Lang's face.

Zhou Lang was not in a hurry to urge him.

Since Su Qingchen brought him here, there must be his intentions, just wait patiently.

Sure enough, Su Qingchen finally spoke after being silent for a long time.

"Before Zhou Changsheng, the patriarch of the Zhou family, calculated that he would experience a catastrophe after a thousand years of ascension."

millennium?

Zhou Lang's heart skipped a beat. After ascension for a thousand years, isn't it just...

There will be a catastrophe in a thousand years, plus the disaster of annihilation that happened a thousand years after Zhou Changsheng's ascension.

No matter how suspicious you think.

"Could it be that the disaster of the Zhou family's destruction is related to this catastrophe?" Zhou Lang couldn't help asking.

Thinking of his identical appearance with Zhou Changsheng, he said again, "Could it be that the catastrophe still has something to do with me?"

With a half-questioning, half-certain tone, his eyes were full of confusion.

Su Qingchen was silent, looking straight into Zhou Lang's eyes.

Zhou Lang couldn't help but grabbed Su Qingchen's sleeve, with pleading in his eyes, "Su Qingchen, don't play tricks, I don't want to live a lifetime of nothingness."

Su Qingchen glanced at the hand grabbing his sleeve.

The joints are white, and the force is very strong.

I sighed in my heart.

Su Qingchen bent down, pressed face to face with Zhou Lang, and confirmed for the last time: "Xiao Lang, the truth may not be something you can bear, are you sure..."

"I'm sure." Zhou Lang interrupted Su Qingchen without waiting for him to finish.

Su Qingchen closed her eyes slightly, and said leisurely, "Even if the truth is cruel?"

Without blinking his eyes, Zhou Lang said firmly, "Even if the truth is cruel."

Su Qingchen sighed again, straightened up, and turned her gaze to the tombstone in front of Zhou Lang.

"Before Zhou Changsheng, the patriarch of the Zhou family, left palaces around in the mortal world to prepare for the catastrophe a thousand years later. One is hidden in the secret realm of Misty Valley, the other is hidden in the Demon Realm, and the other is located in the coiled snake. In the order—the above are the three places I know. The underground palaces of the Misty Valley and the Demon Realm have been investigated, and the Coiled Snake Order has been in your hands. But the fourth underground palace ruins..."

Su Qingchen shook his head, "I haven't received any definite clues until today."

Zhou Lang was surprised and said, "Even you don't know where the fourth palace is?"

There was unbelievable disbelief in his tone.

Over the years, Zhou Lang had long regarded Su Qingchen as an omniscient and omnipotent figure.In his eyes, even if Lao Tzu, the Heavenly King, came, he might not necessarily be Su Qingchen's opponent.

Therefore, Zhou Lang never expected that there would be things in this world that Su Qingchen could not handle.

Su Qingchen nodded helplessly: "Yes, even I don't know where the fourth palace is. After all, Zhou Changsheng was a legendary figure thousands of years ago, how could it be easy for people to see through his backhand?"

Zhou Lang pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Zhou Changsheng is definitely not as good as you."

Su Qingchen raised the corner of her mouth and smiled slightly: "Why did Xiao Lang say that?"

"When he was the same age as you are now, he would never be able to beat you. So—" Zhou Lang said seriously: "Not to mention anything else, his talent is definitely not as good as yours."

There is no trace of falsehood in the words.

Su Qingchen was stunned for a while, then suddenly smiled, and said something that Zhou Lang couldn't figure out: "Do you know who I am?"

Zhou Lang blinked and joked, "Why don't I know who you are? Besides being my Taoist companion, who else are you?"

He yelled viciously, "Dad?"

Su Qingchen squinted her eyes, quietly observed Zhou Lang for a moment, but couldn't find anything wrong from his expression.

Zhou Lang spoke generously, letting Su Qingchen watch.

He was really curious about Su Qingchen's real identity - it was not just as simple as "the spiritual source body that the Zhou family found for him".

Su Qingchen must have another identity that he doesn't know, otherwise it would be impossible to explain what happened over the years.

But as the saying goes, you can't eat a fat man with one bite.

Questions accumulated over the years, just solve them one by one, no rush.

The most important thing right now is the affairs of the Zhou family, so Zhou Lang brought the topic back to the Zhou family's underground palace.

"You just said that these four palaces are Zhou Changsheng's preparations for his catastrophe? What kind of preparations? Resurrection?"

Zhou Lang's words were just a casual guess, but he didn't expect him to hit the spot.

Fortunately, Su Qingchen didn't continue to say anything else, and explained: "You guessed right, these four palaces are used for Zhou Changsheng's secret resurrection."

Saying that, Su Qingchen patted Zhou Lang's head, and at this moment, he still did not forget to praise him, "Xiao Lang is indeed unparalleled in intelligence, few people in the world can match you."

Zhou Lang: "...don't entertain me."

He didn't want Su Qingchen to praise him.

Su Qingchen smiled: "I'm not entertaining you, I just..."

Zhou Lang hurriedly interrupted the old man: "That's enough brother, enough is enough. It's not too late to mention what you think of me." He stood up and kissed Su Qingchen's side face, "So Stop changing the subject."

Su Qingchen had no choice but to say, "Okay, it's up to you."

However, thanks to Su Qingchen's asides, Zhou Lang completely ignored the fact that he was in the center of the mass grave, forgot his fear of ghosts and gods, and concentrated all his energy on the corner of his body that was about to be revealed. on the past.

"The Zhou family's direct lineage is secret, and Zhou Changsheng left a wisp of divine consciousness on each of the four palaces. I have been in and out of these three palaces countless times in recent years, but I have not been able to find the rumored divine consciousness."

"What are you looking for these four strands of consciousness for?" Zhou Lang couldn't help asking.

Su Qingchen answered without hesitation: "Find out the consciousness, and then destroy it."

Zhou Lang frowned: "Destroyed?"

Su Qingchen affirmed: "It's ruined."

"Why?"

"For you."

"for……"

Zhou Lang was even more puzzled, "For me?"

"For you."

Zhou Langmo couldn't digest it for a while.

Su Qingchen took Zhou Lang's hand and held it tightly.

"Xiao Lang, you already know that you are exactly the same as Zhou Changsheng, but have you ever thought about why?"

Zhou Lang shook his head and nodded again.

"Lu Li once said that Zhou Changsheng was also called 'Zhou Lang', so I thought I was Zhou Changsheng's reincarnation, but Lu Li denied this guess. But you later said that I am connected with Zhou Changsheng by blood..."

Zhou Lang's eyes were full of confusion, "Even though I am a direct descendant of the Zhou family, after all, 1000 years have passed, and the blood belonging to Zhou Changsheng in my body has been diluted for a long time. How can there be blood connection? More than that, Shen When I entered the illusion, Fleeting Nian once said that my innate spiritual root is no worse than Zhou Changsheng..."

They look the same.

Same name.

blood vessels connected.

Excellent talent.

……

There is only one point related to Zhou Changsheng, which can be called a coincidence.

However, there are obviously too many connections between Zhou Lang and Zhou Changsheng, and there is absolutely no way to use the word 'coincidence' to explain it.

When he was wondering, Su Qingchen gave him the answer: "You are indeed not Zhou Changsheng's reincarnation."

He paused every word, "You are the puppet he made for resurrection."

Close to Zhou Lang's ear, Su Qingchen's voice was deliberately cold.

He said: "Xiao Lang, you are Zhou Changsheng's puppet nourished with the essence and blood of his heart, and you are the key to his resurrection after the catastrophe. So you look exactly like him. And your name is Zhou Lang, because the Zhou family ancestor Zhou Changsheng , once walked the world under the pseudonym Lang. So your name is not for you, but for Zhou Changsheng, who ascended to immortality thousands of years ago."

Zhou Lang never expected the truth to be so. He took a step back unconsciously and repeated, "Puppet? The key to resurrection? Named for Zhou Changsheng?"

He laughed, a little far-fetched, "Are you talking about a joke? How can a puppet be passed down for thousands of years? And looking at ancient and modern literature, there has never been a book that mentions that Zhou Changsheng once walked the world under the alias of 'Lang' .So you must be driving..."

"Xiao Lang." Su Qingchen cut off Zhou Lang's words, took a step towards Zhou Lang, and pressed him step by step, "The truth is like this. You have been thinking about everyone in the Zhou family for 15 years. Just treat you as a puppet, nothing more."

He cruelly pointed out the facts: "Xiao Lang, in the eyes of the Zhou family, you should not have existed, but you have given birth to a soul."

Zhou Lang's pupils shrank: "I shouldn't exist?"

At this time, Su Qingchen covered Zhou Lang's eyes.

Strangely, a raging fire ignited in front of the eyes that should have been dark because of the palm covering.

In the flames, countless people were screaming and howling.

Su Qingchen's voice seemed to come from the distant horizon.

He said: "So, on the day Zhou Changsheng was reincarnated..."

He paused, "Destroyed the Zhou family."
