【Shuangxuan】Self-knowledge

Something happened to Shi Qingxuan, which was unexpected by He Xuan.But in the end there was no danger of life, and the doctor said after looking at it that the injury was not serious.In addition, adjusting the pulse and breath to suppress the restlessness is very exhausting, so He Xuan made up his mind: If Shi Qingxuan did not have another accident, he would not go to the imperial city.But he still ordered his avatar to stay there, changing his appearance every day, and throwing silver ingots one by one into a row of broken bowls at the entrance of the old temple.

He Xuan originally thought that the effect of turning spiritual power was similar to that of dormancy, but after a few days, he discovered that if he blindly meditated without sleeping, it would cause great harm to the body—probably because there were too many roots of illness in his lifetime, so he could not sleep. As a result, even if he became a ghost king, his foundation would not be good.In desperation, He Xuan had no choice but to sleep again.But this time it wasn't a sudden and unshakeable sleep, but waking up every one or two days, recalling the avatar to learn about the situation in the capital, or going to the side hall to breathe a sigh of relief for the unlucky deer ghost who was being tortured, and watching A look at Shi Wudu who was almost driven crazy in the enchantment.

He Xuan originally thought that the period of restlessness brought about by the opening of the Tonglu Mountain would last two to three months or even longer than before.But who knows that only half a month later, the copper furnace was closed, and it was broken again on the day it was closed.At the same time, a more earth-shattering news broke out from the two worlds of gods and ghosts: the evil world in white has reappeared.When the black water sinking boat woke up again, the Tonglu Mountain had already undergone a sudden change.He was busy with psychic communication with the clone, only to learn that countless resentful spirits broke through the barrier and gathered above the imperial city for a day.

Hearing this news, He Xuan's first reaction was Shi Qingxuan's safety, and he immediately thought of taking Shi Qingxuan away from that right and wrong place.But then he realized that Shi Qingxuan was clearly his enemy, and he took his elder brother's head in front of him.I'm afraid that the two of them have long been at odds with each other. Now, what reason do I have to appear in front of Shi Qingxuan again?

At this time, He Xuan received a psychic from Huacheng, saying that he hoped to ask him for a favor, and set off to the imperial city to guard the formation for himself.

He Xuan asked: "Why don't you hold the battle yourself and ask me to help."

Hua Cheng replied: "I have to go to the Heavenly Court to save His Highness."

"Are you going to the Heavenly Court? To rescue Xie Lian?" He Xuan was suspicious, "What happened to him in the Heavenly Court, that he needs you to save him?"

"Bai Wuxiang has controlled Shangtianting." Huacheng said it flatly.But to He Xuan's ears, it was astonishing:

"Isn't Jun Wu there?"

Huacheng sighed lightly at the other end: "Jun Wu is Bai Wuxiang."

"What?" This sentence exploded like a thunderbolt, He Xuan couldn't believe it, "Jun Wu is the head of the heaven, are you not mistaken?"

"There's no mistake—even if it's not the main body, Junwu is also inseparable from Bai Wuxiang; it's either possessed or something that comes out of one soul and two parts," Huacheng's tone became dignified, "I finally know that the previous one I can't tell where the unknown forces come from." Then, he briefly talked about the situation he has learned so far and his own conjecture.

"... After so many years in the Heavenly Court, Junwu's acting skills are really good." He Xuan felt a little uneasy after hearing this.If things are as inferred by Huacheng, then from the sky to the earth, the life and death of almost all gods and ghosts are in the hands of Junwu - including the past few hundred years when I pretended to be a master and came to the heavenly court. This matter, I am afraid that Junwu is also very clear.

Thinking of this, He Xuan was shocked - if Junwu knew that his purpose of infiltrating the heaven was for revenge, then it is impossible for him to be unaware of Shi Wudu's actions.But why did Jun Wu pretend not to know?

And Huacheng just thought of this:

"...Heishui, with all due respect, the matter of Shi Qingxuan occupying your fate may not be as simple as you and I imagined."

Now that the words have been said, He Xuan has connected all the seemingly reasonable things that he didn't care about before, and he has noticed the clues.I only care about whether Shi Wudu changed his fate by himself, but he ignores whether someone deliberately taught him the method of changing his fate; ", but ignored the "two characters against the sky"-"fate" is "fate", which can be attributed to the impermanence of the world; The head of the gods, is it your will?

"...Although the motive for doing this is not known for the time being, this matter is either acquiesced by Jun Wu, or he contributed to the flames and deliberately did it. Otherwise, with his vast supernatural powers, who can successfully change the life of Ascension under his nose Grid, reduce the power of Heavenly Tribulation? Is he so easy to deceive?"

He Xuan was silent when he heard the sound of blood raining flowers in the psychic array.He suddenly remembered that the first time he heard about the forbidden technique of "changing fate against the sky" after he entered the Heavenly Court was when he heard about it from Jun Wu during a work report.Although Jun Wu only mentioned it lightly at the time, but now that I think about it, it looks like a deliberate reminder of insinuation!

After figuring out several important joints, He Xuan felt his heart churning violently.He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and clenched his fists so tightly that his veins were almost strained.He said to Huacheng: "You can ask me to defend you, but you have to do one thing for me."

"What's the matter?" Huacheng could hear it, the ghost king on the opposite side was trying to suppress the fluctuation in his voice at the moment.

He Xuan paused, and said word by word: "Help me find Shi Qingxuan, and then ensure his safety."

Just listen to Huacheng laughing: "This is so easy to handle. Shi Qingxuan is standing next to me now, helping to guard the formation..."

"You asked him to defend?" He Xuan immediately lost his composure and composure when he heard that Shi Qingxuan was facing these terrifying things. The injuries to his hands and feet haven’t healed yet! He’s a mortal again! You let him deal with those Wuyong grievances that have been accumulated for thousands of years?!”

Huacheng asked slowly, "Oh? How do you know he's hurt?"

"...You don't have to worry about this." He Xuan gritted his teeth.

Huacheng knew what Heishuixuangui was worried about, so he said truthfully: "I distributed some mana to him—of course, I borrowed the ghost-flavored candy balls that Pei Ming got. Don't worry, he is dealing with those things in the formation now. But more than enough."

He Xuan didn't want to know what those ghost-flavored candy balls were, he thought to himself, as long as it wasn't the 'Bing Qing Yu Jie Pill' created by Xie Lian, it would be fine.

"If you want to come, move faster. Lord Yushi is about to arrive, and I will leave to go to the heaven soon." Huacheng began to urge.

"Okay. Give me a quarter of an hour. I need to take care of something."

After the psychic communication was over, He Xuan did not set off immediately, but went to the side hall where Shi Wudu was suffering.

After entering the door, He Xuan first stopped the men who were being executed, and told them to go out and wait.After being tortured for more than 20 days, "Shi Qingxuan" on the rack was covered in cuts and bruises and dripping with blood. The clothes on his body had long since turned into tattered strips of cloth. On his exposed chest, there were several whip marks with deep bone visible. , and the horrific iron marks.His hands were even more appalling, the steel needles had penetrated into the nails, and the ten fingers might have been clipped.However, He Xuan did not pay too much attention to "Shi Qingxuan"; he realized at this moment: Even if the one used to torture Shi Wudu is a counterfeit, this is still a tactic that hurts the enemy one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred. The one who was tortured was himself.

Shi Wudu in the enchantment is also almost human-shaped, kneeling on the ground with disheveled hair, weak ghost energy, thin cheeks, and the pain in his eyes is that life is worse than death.However, he is also considered strong, seeing his relatives suffer so long in front of his eyes, but he is still not crazy after all.He Xuan thought, what kept him awake until now was probably the deep-seated hatred—just like what he did back then.

Seeing He Xuan coming in, Shi Wudu raised his head, his eyes were full of resentment that would make the other party lose their bones and ashes beyond redemption.However, He Xuan regarded his resentment as air, walked straight to the front of the enchantment, squatted down, and looked directly into Shi Wudu's eyes:

"Do you want to see your brother again?"

Hearing this, Shi Wudu was stunned for a long time before he dared to confirm that what He Xuan asked was indeed these words.He turned his head to look at the dying man on the rack, and then at the black water mysterious ghost in front of him, his sharp hatred was shaken: "What do you mean?"

"It means that this Shi Qingxuan is a fake." He Xuan sighed lightly, stood up, grabbed a handful in mid-air in the direction of the execution frame, and took back the mana that maintained the fake human form .Shi Wudu looked intently again, where Shi Qingxuan was still on the torture rack, it was clearly a green-faced deer ghost with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks!

"you you you……"

Obviously, Shi Wudu cannot immediately accept this reality.What he was more worried about was that the person on the rack was the real Shi Qingxuan, and this vicious and inhuman black water sinking boat cast a spell and turned him into an ugly deer ghost.

He Xuan could see that Shi Wudu was suspicious.It's no wonder that after going through the extreme ups and downs of these days, I found that the truth of the matter was suddenly contrary to what I saw, and no one would accept it immediately.So he waved his hand again and removed the barrier that was blocking Shi Wudu.Shi Wudu immediately staggered towards the torture frame, observed it for a long time and then slapped it again, and finally confirmed a fact - these days, the one who was tortured on the frame was really not his younger brother, it was just such an animal that was tortured. The unlucky deer ghost that took shape.

Shi Wudu was even more disturbed in his heart.He Xuan and him had an inextricable blood feud, how could they let the two brothers go so easily?So he asked a series of angry questions: "Where is Qingxuan now? What did you do to him? What are you going to use him to blackmail me?"

He Xuan squinted his eyes, and decided to answer his questions one by one: "Your brother is in my hands now. I just imprisoned him and haven't done anything yet. However, if you don't answer my questions well next , I will let him taste a punishment dozens of times crueler than what you have seen these days."

"He Xuan! You——!"

"Me? Me what? Or, do you want to kill your brother quickly by not answering my question?"

"...You just ask!" Shi Wudu was anxious and hated, but he was helpless; the relatives were still in the hands of others, so he had to be at the mercy of the enemy.

"I will only ask all the questions from now on. Shui Hengtian, let me remind you again, you must tell me the truth, and answer after thinking clearly." After He Xuan warned him again, he asked solemnly Out of the mouth, "Did someone teach you the method of changing your fate?"

Shi Wudu didn't expect that He Xuan would suddenly ask this.But no matter how surprised he was, he still thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and nodded.

He Xuan asked again: "Who is the person who taught you?"

Shi Wudu struggled for a while, decided to go all out, closed his eyes and said two words: "Junwu."

"...It's really like this..." After getting the answer, He Xuan turned around slowly, clenched his fists tightly, and said to himself: "It's really like this..."

Shi Wudu didn't understand what he was talking about, and he didn't want to know; he just wanted to confirm the safety of his younger brother: "I have answered all your questions, where is Qingxuan?"

He Xuan turned his head back, put away his slightly gaffe just now, and returned to his usual indifference: "I lied to you. Qing Xuan is not with me."

"But you said you would let me see him!" Shi Wudu became annoyed.Now that he lost the enchantment, he rushed straight to He Xuan, trying to attack him.Shi Wudu was also a practitioner before his ascension, and his boxing and kicking skills were very good. Although he was bare-handed and without mana blessings, if he fought with He Xuan, the loss would not be too ugly.

Immobilizing Shi Wudu with his magic power, He Xuan took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and said, "I will let you see him, but he is indeed not in my hands now."

Now Shi Wudu can't tell which sentence is true and which sentence is false. He is still worried that Shi Qingxuan will be hurt by He Xuan, so he said to the other side viciously: "If you dare to hurt Qingxuan Xuan, I won't let you go even if I die!"

He Xuan had already opened the stopper of the small porcelain bottle at this time.Seemingly feeling that Shi Wudu's words were ridiculous, He Xuan snorted coldly: "Shui Hengtian, there is one thing you need to clarify. Even though you two are my enemies, I want to tear my body into pieces From the beginning to the end, there is only you, not Qingxuan."

Before Shi Wudu could respond, He Xuan cast a spell to put him into the small porcelain bottle and sealed the mouth of the bottle.The small porcelain bottle shook twice, it seemed that Shi Wudu was struggling inside.

"Shi Wudu, you are not worthy of having such a good brother as Qingxuan."

He Xuan said such a sentence to the bottle, and then threw it back into Qiankun's sleeve.Immediately, he launched the technique of shrinking the ground and went to the imperial city.

He originally planned to drive Shi Wudu to extinction, destroying his bones and ashes.But if he really did this, then in this world, Shi Qingxuan would really be alone.

He Xuan has experienced the grief of bereavement and knows how painful it is.He was still reluctant to let Shi Qingxuan suffer the same crime as himself.
