Xiahou Fang's true appearance is no longer recognizable.
He still maintained his human form, but his entire body was covered in burn marks. His skin was wrinkled, red, and black, and he looked as if he had shrunk from the burns.
In short, it looks like the mold for displaying human muscles has shrunk after being burned, which is very scary.
Ning Xianyu didn't hear clearly what he said, and seeing his appearance, she was so scared that she withdrew her consciousness after a short while.
She looked so frightened that Xuanyuan Tunhan asked her nervously what was wrong.
Could it be that that bastard Xiahou Fang did something?
"I should have taken a look first."
She was inexperienced and knew nothing. Even if she was tricked, she didn't know it. It was his carelessness. He didn't expect Xiahou Fang to dare to do anything.
Ning Xianyu shook her head: "No, I think I saw Xia Houfang's true face, it's so scary."
Xuanyuan Tunhan breathed a sigh of relief: "He has become like that a long time ago. He has been wearing someone else's skin for many years. I almost forgot his true appearance."
Ning Xianyu asked in surprise: "Have you seen it too?"
Everyone says that no one has ever seen Xiahou Fang's true face, and those who have seen it are all dead. But it turns out that if you live long enough, you can see everything?
Xuanyuan Tunhan actually sighed, as if he was saying something sad.
"Back then, he and his Taoist companion were training near the Demon Realm. They were caught up in that incident, and his Taoist companion was burned to death on the spot. He was burned into his current state."
That incident was naturally about the arrival of the evil star. When the evil star landed, it burned many people to death. Unexpectedly, Xiahou Fang was also there.
"Then doesn't Xiahou Fang live for many, many years?"
If one can catch up with the arrival of the evil star, he must have lived long enough.
Xuanyuan Tunhan said: "Strictly speaking, he lived longer than me."
Everyone says that he is the longest-lived person in the world, but in fact there are others who live longer than him.
Ning Xianyu was very surprised: "He can't be cured, so he keeps changing his skin?"
Xuanyuan Tunhan said, "Being injured by the flames of the demon star, not only can the body not recover, but it also causes constant pain. Xiahou Fang visited many famous doctors but could not cure it, so he came up with the idea of replacing the skin."
"But that fire not only burned his flesh, but also damaged his soul. His soul cannot leave the injured body for long, so even if he changes skin, it can only last for a period of time. After a period of time, he must change back, otherwise his body and soul will be destroyed."
In fact, no one knows these things. Everyone only knows that Xiahou Fang is an evil cultivator who likes to skin people, but they don’t know that he does this to relieve pain.
Ning Xianyu sympathized with him, but did not support his behavior.
But his spirit is truly admirable.
"He lived in such pain, yet he was able to persevere for hundreds of thousands of years. His willpower is incredibly strong."
If it were her, suffering like this, she would have found a place to commit suicide long ago.
Xuanyuan Tunhan said, "Because he has an obsession, he has been looking for the astrology stone. In fact, he wants to find his Taoist partner from back then, to find out if his spirit is still there and where he went to reincarnate."
Ning Xianyu asked curiously, "Can cultivators be reincarnated?"
So if a cultivator were to be reincarnated after death, wouldn't he be much more powerful than an ordinary mortal because of his powerful spirit and soul?
Nian Laisheng, who had been quietly listening to the secret, suddenly said, "Disciple, haven't you learned the basics at all?"
"As soon as a cultivator enters the Qi Refining Stage and steps onto the threshold of cultivation, his spirit becomes connected to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Upon death, his spirit will naturally dissipate into the world and reincarnate. It's impossible for him to be reborn."
Ning Xianyu thought about it, and it seemed that the substitute elder had indeed said this when she had just entered the mountain gate to practice.
"I forgot, haha, but that's not the point. The point is, Xiahou Fang knew clearly that his Taoist partner couldn't be reincarnated, so why was he so persistent in finding one?"
It is impossible, but he persisted for so many years. This kind of willpower is really hard to understand.
Nian Laisheng sighed, "Perhaps this is also his wish for living. It is better to have some wish than to have no wish at all and just sink in pain."
Xuanyuan Tunhan was also silent for a while.
Perhaps monks like them who have lived for a long time all have strong goals, otherwise it would be difficult to dispel the loneliness of tens of thousands of years.
Ning Xianyu scratched her head and suddenly felt that Xiahou Fang was actually quite pitiful.
"How about I lend him the astrology stone next time I see him?"
If he knew the outcome and gave up, he might not be so persistent. He would be able to end the pain of more than 100,000 years and leave this heartbreaking and painful world without any worries.
But Xuanyuan Tunhan immediately objected: "No one knows if he will go crazy after knowing the result. The astrology stone is also of great importance. It must not be lent."
Even in my next life I feel that I cannot borrow it.
Xiahou Fang has become increasingly crazy in recent years, but he hasn't completely lost his mind because he still has a little bit of faith to support him.
If he loses even that little bit of faith, he might do something crazy.
With his level of cultivation, his destructive power is unimaginable to everyone.
The system said: [Actually, I think you can help him.]
Ning Xianyu: [I already said I would lend him the astrology stone, but the big devil and the master disagreed.]
The system said: [No, I mean your body is Xirang. You can give him a part of it to help him build a new body. Xirang can repair his soul, and he can completely adapt to the new body.]
If this were really done, Xiahou Fang would no longer suffer and would no longer be obsessed with finding his partner's reincarnation.
But Ning Xianyu felt that she was not a saint and refused to do it.
[No, he wants to skin me alive, steal my things, and cheat me. I'd be crazy to help him.]
The system immediately looked down on him: [So you were sympathizing with him just now and wanted to lend him the Astrology Stone?]
Ning Xianyu said nonchalantly, "That's just talk. Besides, the Astrology Stone isn't mine, so borrowing it once isn't a big deal."
The system understood: [You are the kind of person who is kind for three minutes, sympathizing with others for a moment and then forgetting about it the moment you turn around.]
Whatever you say.
Ning Xianyu didn't care. Anyway, she had no obligation to help that bad guy Xiahou Fang.
At this time, Xuanyuan Tunhan suddenly said: "Don't think that Xiahou Fang is a good person just because he is pitiful. If you really sympathize with him, he will not be grateful to you. He may even take the opportunity to kill you."
This woman was so heartless when she spoke to the system, who knows if she would be stupid enough to get deceived.
Ning Xianyu nodded and said that she would definitely not do that.
As they were talking, they suddenly saw a flying magic weapon catching up with them, with three people sitting on it.
One is Yi Tianling, one is Su Yuner, and the other is a very strange person whom I don’t know.
But I don't know why, he feels very familiar.
Xuanyuan Tunhan's face sullenly replied, "That's Xiahou Fang."
It's really haunting.
