Chapter 32: Immortal Heart Rejects, Does Not Allow Mortal Body
"What a stubborn and stupid kid."
"This world is destined to have geniuses, and it is destined to have mortals. If you can't catch up, why bother chasing? You have to get hurt until your head is bloodied and your body is covered with bruises..."
When Jiang Lan was integrating this part of his memory, he couldn't help but feel complicated.
In the original plot, when Jiang Lan first appeared on the scene, he was a good-for-nothing second-generation rich man who was domineering, uneducated, and bullying. He was fond of women, arrogant, and afraid of death.
Who would have thought that when he was young, he was humble, polite, gentle as jade, kind and well-behaved, with a warm smile, and any girl would blush and be shy for the whole day when she saw him.
In order not to disappoint my parents and catch up with my sister, I never slacked off.
Unfortunately, when he was nine years old, he fell seriously ill and fell into a coma for three days.
After that serious illness, he lost all his cultivation and became a useless person who could no longer practice.
Until now, Jiang Lan still has no memory of that serious illness.
He only knew that after that serious illness, his body had become extremely weak and he would feel excruciating pain every once in a while.
At first, his mother would find various famous doctors to diagnose and prescribe medicine for him, which would give him relief for a while.
Until one day, he discovered something unusual in the maid's frightened and terrified eyes, and then he interrogated her, only then did he know that the medicine he took was actually human blood...
Since then, he has developed a dislike for taking medication.
Even when the disease struck and the pain was excruciating, he gritted his teeth and persevered without making a sound. Even if he fainted from the pain, he didn't care.
During that period, he only remembered that the maids in the courtyard changed a lot, with new ones coming every day and disappearing every day.
His mother tried to persuade him to take the medicine, but he remained stubborn and refused to take a sip.
It was also the first time that he saw his mother, a person who was admired by the whole world. She wiped her tears and said sorry to him. Even his father sighed helplessly.
He couldn't understand what that meant... He still practiced hard every day, trying to recover his skills, even though it was of no use.
What finally crushed the last bit of hope in his heart and made him completely despair was that his sister, who his mother had said had gone to practice in the immortal sect many years ago, suddenly came back one day.
But my sister at that time was no longer as close to me as before.
The look in his face as he looked at him was chillingly cold, indifferent without a trace of emotion, as if he was looking at a stinky rat in a gutter or a cockroach or bedbug in a garbage dump.
At that time, Jiang Lan didn't know why her sister was like this.
I was just wondering, is it because I can't practice anymore and have become a waste... that's why she hates me so much.
And the next moment, facing his cautious question, all he got in response was a dazzling snow-white long sword...
The long sword pierced his chest, and a red rain of blood splashed, blurring his eyes and also dyeing the falling maple leaves in the courtyard red.
That little pain was nothing compared to the endless suffering from illness during that period.
But he still felt very painful in his heart, a pain that was so deep and despairing.
All the persistence and expectations during that period of time seemed to be shattered like a dream bubble as the sword stabbed at them.
When his consciousness finally faded away, he felt endless confusion and bewilderment in his heart.
Why did his sister want to kill him? She was once the gentle sister who promised to marry him when she grew up.
…
His parents came back in time and saved his body, but they could never save his heart.
From that day on, the once humble, gentle, kind and well-behaved Jiang Lan died.
He became a well-known second-generation rich man in the capital of Great Xia, indulging in sensual pleasures, leading a dissolute, arrogant and domineering life.
Jiang Lan was integrating this part of the memory.
Although I didn't experience it personally, I can still feel the intense anger, confusion, puzzlement, and finally the despair that made my heart die.
He was clearly just ill, but why did everything change after he woke up...
If Jiang Lan didn't know the plot, he might have felt the same way and been as angry and confused as the original person.
But it was only after knowing the plot that he understood why Jiang Ruxian chose to kill him at that time.
The so-called serious illness was not actually an illness.
But his mother couldn't bear to see him becoming increasingly depressed, taciturn and withdrawn, so she personally dug out Jiang Ruxian's exquisite fairy heart.
Then, she used the secret technique of the immortal way to transplant it into his body, and lied to him that Jiang Ruxian went to the immortal sect to practice during his illness.
The immortal heart rejects the mortal body. It is easy to transplant but difficult to pick it away.
In the end, the result was counterproductive, and Jiang Lan was forcibly transformed from a peerless genius into a useless person who was unable to practice and instead had to endure heart-wrenching pain frequently.
As for why Jiang Lan had no memory of this incident, it was naturally because his mother had erased it herself.
Originally, his mother wanted to erase all memories of Jiang Ruxian from his mind.
But he was also worried that it might cause him mental problems, so he simply deleted the heart transplant.
Jiang Ruxian, whose seven-orifice fairy heart was dug out, not only did not die, but survived because of his father's compassion.
The powerful immortal body even enabled her to reshape her immortal heart and take her cultivation strength to a higher level.
Many years later.
When she set foot in the imperial capital again and found the time when Jiang Lan's parents left the Prime Minister's Mansion, she returned to the former courtyard, found Jiang Lan, and avenged her heart-digging with a sword.
Unfortunately, Jiang Lan was lucky and did not die.
"But no matter from what I know about Jiang Ruxian or from what I know about the subsequent plot, Jiang Ruxian will definitely kill me again."
Jiang Lan frowned slightly and gently stroked his chest, as if he could still feel the piercing pain in it.
In the original plot later, the conflict between Jiang Ruxian and the protagonist Lin Fan was all caused by him.
Because he died at the hands of Lin Fan, Jiang Ruxian had no target for revenge, so she vented all her anger and murderous intent on Lin Fan.
Jiang Lan, who understood the plot, naturally knew that this was actually a big misunderstanding from the beginning.
Jiang Ruxian mistakenly thought that he had dug out her immortal heart, so she hated and loathed him so much.
But in fact, what did Jiang Lan know at that time?
He knew nothing, he was ignorant from beginning to end.
Even when Jiang Ruxian cruelly wanted to kill him, he had no idea of the cause and effect. For this, he had to endure so many years of pain and torture, becoming a disabled person and in excruciating pain.
In fact, he is also a victim.
If Jiang Ruxian had trusted him a little more at that time, even if she had asked one more question, the misunderstanding would have been resolved.
Perhaps the humble, polite, kind and gentle boy Jiang Lan could still hold on to his last ray of light and not fall into depravity.
But everything in the world is like this, fate plays tricks on us.
