621. The death of Jinlian city
Shuoxue City Lord's Mansion.
Xuanyuan Ye smelled the fragrance of Anshen and calmed down for the time being. Qi Ningyuan sat cross-legged at the entrance of the dungeon, not daring to close his eyes, and kept looking at Xuanyuan Ye because he might go crazy again at any time.
After Shangguan Ling gave Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan, he went to find Jin Liancheng. He thought he would beat Jin Liancheng and scold him so hard that he was a little weak, but his hands raised were a little weak because he suddenly realized that such a thing was meaningless and venting anger could not solve any problem. Finally, he just looked at Jin Liancheng coldly and said, "Mu Lin will definitely come back alive. In the end, we will live better than you." After that, he went out to patrol the guards of Shuoxue City, which was what Mu Lin was once responsible for.
Jin Liancheng was weak and lay there with a pale face. After a while, he smiled bitterly and murmured: "Why is it so uncomfortable in his heart?"
On Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan, when Mu Yan said her guess, the atmosphere fell into a long silence.
I don’t know how long it took, Chen Ji said with an ugly expression: “When I was young, I asked my grandfather why one of the twins must be sent away. What my grandfather said was not that he didn’t know, but that when I reached his age, I would know what I should know.”
Many things that have happened and heard words, I didn’t understand the meaning at that time. After many years and more things have happened, at a certain moment, I suddenly understand what secrets are hidden in the words someone said to you.
Chen Ji's mood is very complicated, uncomfortable, and even painful now.
He didn't want to believe that the incredible guess that Mu Yan said was a fact, but there was a voice in his heart saying, admit it, things are already so obvious, there is no other possibility.
What made Chen Ji most painful was that he suddenly realized something very terrifying, those dirty, shameless, evil things that violated the rules. The Chen family was not innocent, and his ancestors might have been involved. These hidden families, at least those in power before his grandfather's generation, were secretly doing shameful and evil things. In order to achieve an indescribable selfish desire, I don't know how many people have killed and destroyed their lives.
What Chen Ji's grandfather said to him back then is now like a curse, echoing in his mind. He can't help but think, if nothing happened in Yunzhongdao, if all the families were still like that, if he became the lord of Shuoxue City and inherited everything from his ancestors, would he be like those people and eventually become a person with a hypocritical appearance and a shameless person behind his back?
Chen Ji didn't know the answer to this question, because there was no if in the world. He was just thinking that there must be someone who was unwilling to join in the world. There must be some, but the ending of such a person is undoubtedly killed, because the person who gathered to do that thing is the person who held all the power in this continent.
Mu Yan held Chen Ji's hand, patted it gently, and sighed and said, "Grandpa, don't think too much, you did nothing wrong."
Chen Ji shook his head in pain: "Little Flower, you don't understand." This feeling of finding that he respects and misses his ancestors is really hard to accept.
"Those in power have always been killed and seized. Even if there is no country here, it is just a city. The king who is tall and above only treats the people as ants. Even their own descendants, as long as they keep their roots, they will give up without hesitation." Mu Yan said softly.
"Now I think about it, the rule that the twins must be sent away, otherwise it will bring disaster is a complete lie made up by some people in order to satisfy their selfish desires." Chen Ji said.
"It's a lie, but not a false one. Some people need to strictly implement this rule and no exceptions can occur. So if someone breaks the rule, it will indeed cause disasters. There will be no natural disasters. There will definitely be those in power. Only in this way can the rule be passed on." Mu Yan said, "In fact, what they target is just twins, twin women, and the victims of this lie, not their real purpose."
Chen Ji's face was bitter: "No wonder I once felt strange, saying that the children I sent away could be retrieved twenty years later, but I only heard that the sons I found were chosen to be sent away from, and the daughters who would always be chosen to be sent away from among the twins never appeared, and there was no one. At that time, I thought foolishly that the girls who were sent away were married before the age of twenty and would not leave their husbands and children and return here. Now thinking about it, how could it be that absolute? Their destiny was a victim from birth."
Many clues are connected, and the facts are becoming clearer and clearer. For example, Chen Ji and Situ Yu, the twin brothers who were sent away, have a high probability of being retrieved. The reason why Situ Yu did not come back was his own problem. But the girl who was sent away had never come back, at least the ones before the demise of Yunzhongcheng were like this.
Speaking of which, Jin Liancheng has a direct relationship with this matter. His mother Lianxin is the one who was sent away by the twins, and Lianxin is lucky. Some dirty things should have been forcibly terminated when Yunzhongcheng was destroyed.
More than fifty years ago, not only the destruction of Yunzhong City, but more than half of the people in power in each family died, and the elders who were arranged to do that kind of thing were also died.
Later, the rulers of the Apocalypse Continent, to Chen Ji's generation, had not yet accepted some kind of "inheritance". In Lian Ce's generation, they were even more unknown about what they had done by their predecessors. They just continued to practice the rules about twins without understanding the truth. The darkest part of them had long been cut off.
If the golden-faced man is the child of Xuanyuan Feng and his twin sister, it can be seen how persistent and crazy those in power are about that evil thing, even their descendants will not let go of them. No matter how noble the background is, they will not be spared.
The Tianzong, Xiao Xinghan, had come into contact with, and had seen several people with incomplete appearance or body. Mu Yan had reason to suspect that they might be monsters born from the combination of dragon and phoenix twins, and were test subjects that were forcibly created. And how many such people have been and how many are there now? It is terrifying to think about it.
"I can suddenly understand why Master Yuantong has not killed him when he caught that person back then. Perhaps Master Yuantong's compassion for that person is probably because of his life experience." Mu Yan sighed slightly, "He is a victim, and his parents were forced to death. From the time he was born, he was not only incomplete, but also shameless. I don't know what kind of inhuman treatment he had ever been treated. Just imagine, if he was the child that Xuanyuan Feng married normally, he should have been Xuanyuan Ye's open cousin, and he could have the same perfect appearance and body as Xuanyuan Ye, with a perfect appearance and body.
There are peaceful and happy days. If he was the child born to Xuanyuan Feng's sister who married normally, he would be Xuanyuan Ye's cousin. Even if he was not surnamed Xuanyuan, he would have a good background and a completely different normal life. However, these two identities overlapped in him and destroyed three people at the same time. Xuanyuan Feng committed suicide, and his sister might have committed suicide, and that person was forced to live and endured all the pain and humiliation. Although Xuanyuan Ye was innocent, that person would be jealous of Xuanyuan Ye and hated Xuanyuan Ye. From his perspective, it was too normal."
"The people of Tianzong are very loyal to that person, as loyal as a dead man. I think, perhaps because they live a life that is not like humans, the only meaning of life is hatred, and life and death are no longer important." Xiao Xinghan sighed deeply and said.
Mu Yan took a deep breath and slowly relaxed. The discomfort in her heart still existed faintly and could not be gone. She had a premonition that in the end, there would be no winner, but only a tragedy would end. Now she found that the tragedy had actually begun, and it had lasted for many years in the place where there was no light. The shadows were even projected on their lives, but they just didn't know it.
"Grandpa, I'll take you back to rest." Mu Yan said as she stood up and helped Chen Ji walk out. "Grandpa, don't think too much. In this matter, each of us can't get out of touch. But we did nothing wrong. That person was the victim, but this is not the reason for him to massacre innocent people, nor is it the reason for him to hurt us."
Chen Ji, Xiao Xinghan, Mu Yan, Jin Liancheng, Qi Ningyuan, their lives were fatally affected by the rule that should not exist and the demise of Yunzhong Island. Now, it is time for all this to end, and the mistakes should really stop.
Master Yuantong was compassionate and compassionate to that person and could not bear to kill him. In the end, he not only killed himself, but also led to more tragedies.
But Mu Yan will not learn from Master Yuantong. If that person kills all the insiders involved because of his own tragedy, Mu Yan will say admiration to him and support his behavior. But what that person does has exceeded the limit of hatred. Many of his behaviors are not because of hatred, but because of jealousy and his selfish desires. No matter how painful he is, the matter of hurting innocent people is wrong and unforgivable.
Mu Yan couldn't empathize with it, but she always felt that if a person lives in pain and cannot get out, the best way is to settle herself and relieve her pain by hurting the unworked person. There is no reason and will never be worthy of sympathy.
Just like some of the people whom Mu Yan encountered in her previous life who took revenge on society under the name of depression, and because of the unfair treatment or suffering, she would seek psychological balance by hurting strangers or even innocent children. This is simply a pervert and a madman.
Mu Yan sent Chen Ji back to his room. Chen Ji was very tired and lay down on the bed, then closed his eyes. Mu Yan stayed by the bed for a while, and then got up and left.
Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan took a shower, Mu Yan changed the medicine for Xiao Xinghan again, and they also lay down and slept for a while. When they woke up, it was already dark.
When Mu Yan went out, she saw Shangguan Ling sitting outside the door, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Senior Brother Ling." Mu Yan called out.
"Junior Sister Xiaojiu, are you getting up?" Shangguan Ling stood up, looked at Mu Yan and said with a smile, "Are you hungry? I asked the kitchen to stew the soup for you. Do you want to eat it now?"
"Okay." Mu Yan nodded.
Shangguan Ling quickly left and went to get supper for Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan.
The chicken soup was stewed for most of the day and it was very fragrant. Shangguan Ling said to Mu Yan while serving it, "Drink more. Junior Sister Xiaojiu, you have lost a lot of weight recently. When you come home, my father and my uncle will see it, you will definitely beat me up."
Mu Yan smiled slightly: "Then I have to give the master and the second master a chance to beat you up."
Shangguan Ling twitched: "Junior Sister Xiaojiu, you don't have to deliberately become thinner just to make me beaten. In this way, Boss Xiao will choose to beat me up and make you have fun. I'm so scared."
Mu Yan took the chicken soup, tasted it, her stomach warmed up, and signaled Shangguan Ling to sit down and eat together.
Shangguan Ling shook his head and said that he had eaten and had served Qi Ningyuan. He just said with some concern: "When I went to the dungeon to find Qi Ningyuan, I met Xuanyuan Ye and went crazy again. It was so scary. It was really not a solution to continue like this."
"Well, we are trying to figure out a solution." Mu Yan said, "How is Jinliancheng?"
"Just that way, I didn't hit him, he was half-dead. I still have a lot of serious things to do. The important thing is that Mu Lin can come back, not me venting his anger. If you want the Gu King in his body, he will be in a better state, it should be helpful." Shangguan Ling sighed and said.
"Senior Brother Ling has grown up." Mu Yan said with a smile.
"Oh! I always feel that I am useless lately, and I wish I could become a top master to help you immediately." Shangguan Ling smiled bitterly.
"Don't say that, Senior Brother Ling is very useful." Mu Yan said, "My elder brother needs hope. I believe he will come back. Don't feel too much psychological pressure."
"Yes." Shangguan Ling pulled a reluctant smile on the corner of his mouth.
After dinner, Shangguan Ling brought Jin Liancheng over according to Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan's request.
"Mu Yan" Jin Liancheng shouted weakly when he saw Mu Yan.
"I don't want to talk nonsense to you. Shut up when I haven't asked you a question." Mu Yan said with a faint expression.
"I want to say that my head hurts even more in the past two days. If the Gu King doesn't leave my body, it won't take long to suck my brain marrow." Jin Liancheng said with an ugly face.
"Shut up!" Shangguan Ling frowned, "Listen to my junior sister Xiaojiu! You are not allowed to speak when you don't let you speak!"
Jin Liancheng shut up silently. Xiao Xinghan came over and took Jin Liancheng another pulse, took Jin Liancheng's blood, and then asked Shangguan Ling to take Jin Liancheng away again.
"How? Are you clueful?" Mu Yan asked Xiao Xinghan. In terms of medicine and witchcraft, Mu Yan always believed that Xiao Xinghan could not surpass it.
"That Gu King should have been nourished with that person's blood." Xiao Xinghan's expression was a little solemn, "It was a lot of Gu poisons that were swallowed by each other and finally formed. I have two ideas now. The first is to make an antidote and remove Gu King. This is very complicated and requires an antidote that mixes almost all Gu poisons. In the end, Gu King will be killed in Jinliancheng's body."
"What about the other kind?" Mu Yan asked.
"The other way is to find a way to lure the Gu King out and find the next host." Xiao Xinghan said, "Xuanyuan Ye's blood was transformed by that person, so he used his blood and supplemented with medicine to get the Gu King out.
"Next host?" Mu Yan's expression froze, "You are not talking about yourself, are you?"
"Well. The Gu King cannot be copied. Those people did use such shameful means to obtain the special bloodline of Gu Gong. The Sect Master of Heaven Sect we met. Within three months, the Gu King is beneficial, and can make people not invade all poisons and never invade all Gu. In three months, everything is time to be finished." Xiao Xinghan said.
"Can Jinliancheng die?" Mu Yan asked.
Xiao Xinghan shook his head: "It's useful for the time being. I just thought of a way to make a genital gu."
Mu Yan's eyes lit up: "Really?" She and Xiao Xinghan had been studying the Gu for a long time before, and wanted to make a new comeback, but they had not succeeded. There have been two times. Xiao Xinghan said that he was only one step away from success, but he failed in the end. It seems that the Gu King in Jin Liancheng's body gave Xiao Xinghan new inspiration.
"I need to try it. If it succeeds, it will be used on Xuanyuan Ye, sucking his internal strength and saving his life at the same time." Xiao Xinghan said.
"How to try this?" Mu Yan was stunned for a moment. How to try a poison? Find someone to kill him to see if he could save him?
Xiao Xinghan only said three words: "Jinliancheng."
Mu Yan nodded: "This is OK." It's the most suitable person who dies as a test subject.
Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan stayed in the door for three consecutive days. The food was delivered to the door by Shangguan Ling. They took it in and ate it when they remembered it. If they couldn't remember it, they would forget it.
Jin Liancheng was very anxious because the interval between brain stings was getting shorter and shorter, and he often broke into pieces and was in a trance. He felt that if this continued, he would become a fool first and then die.
Finally, Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan came to find Jin Liancheng on this day.
"Mu Yan, save me." Jin Liancheng looked at Mu Yan with a pleading look.
"Well, we have already thought of a way to lure the Gu King out. If you cooperate with me, it will hurt a little." Mu Yan said with a faint expression.
Jin Liancheng looked ecstatic: "I'm not afraid of pain! Come on!" He didn't want to die, nor did he want to become an idiot!
Not long after, Shangguan Ling, who was standing next to him, screamed heart-wrenchingly at Jin Liancheng, and his whole body was trembling. After about a quarter of an hour, he collapsed on the ground weakly. There was something in Xiao Xinghan's hand and it quickly disappeared.
"You swallowed?" Jin Liancheng asked Xiao Xinghan with a pale face, "You are really cruel enough to thank you this time."
"No need." Xiao Xinghan said indifferently, took out a white pill and signaled Jin Liancheng to open his mouth.
Jin Liancheng subconsciously thought that he was healing him, so he swallowed it and asked, "What is that?"
"There is a gu again." Mu Yan said.
Jin Liancheng's expression froze: "There is a gu? Why do you want to use it for me? Why do you still have a gu? What do you want to do?"
"There was only one Gu in the Rebirth. On my elder brother, what you just swallowed was made by Xiao Hanhan. We are only 50% sure whether it was successful or not. We need to try it to know." Mu Yan said lightly.
"Fifty percent of your confidence, you" Jin Liancheng's face turned pale and his body trembled.
Mu Yan flipped her wrist and had a dagger in her hand. She looked at Jin Liancheng with a cold expression and said, "There is 50% left, it depends on your own luck! Just like my elder brother, even if he had a Gu, he could not guarantee that he could survive in that situation. You can also experience this feeling!"
After Mu Yan finished speaking, the dagger in her hand pierced into Jin Liancheng's heart without bias. She looked at Jin Liancheng's eyes widened, and in an instant, she swallowed.
Chapter completed!
