Chapter 118 The Original Story◇
◎Being young has its advantages◎
The story was short, but it was brief. Kong Shuang told it simply and concisely, starting with the differences from this prehistoric world:
"There's no me in that vast world, but there is a peacock, a man. He's what everyone thinks of as the five-colored peacock."
"man?"
Tongtian's eyes were deep as he stared at her from head to toe, finally settling on one spot. He raised the corners of his mouth and revealed an ambiguous smile.
Kong Shuang's face darkened. He raised his body from his sitting position, put out his hands to cover his eyes, and spat softly, "Shameless."
His vision darkened, and he chuckled softly in his throat, without taking her hand away.
Kong Shuang calmed himself down and continued to tell the story.
From the finalization of the List of Gods to the Jiejiao’s angry setting up of the Zhuxian Formation.
From Shen Gongbao's "Fellow Daoist, please stay" to the three thousand fellow disciples who were deeply in love with each other and were taken to the West to suffer endless loneliness forever.
Her voice became increasingly low, and for a moment she sank to his knees. Her gaze wandered elsewhere, not daring to look at him. Finally, she paused at the line, "The Jiejiao Saint consumed the Meteoric Pill and was imprisoned in the Purple Sky Palace!"
Tongtian listened quietly, connecting the story with the future he had foreseen. It was as if some barrier was suddenly pierced and the truth emerged.
He seemed to see that scene again, the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, the broken Qingping sword, he was so miserable.
He suddenly remembered the earnest advice his teacher had given to the three brothers a long time ago in Zixiao Palace. At that time, he just felt strange, but now he suddenly understood!
Perhaps it wasn't his own experience, so he quickly accepted it. He was silent for a moment, then asked after a while, "No! I believe my two brothers broke with me, but why would they...especially my second brother, join forces with the two from the West?"
This scene was not included in the scene he saw.
It is said that his two brothers attacked Thaksin, after all, he was often beaten when he was a child!
But when the elder brother joined forces with outsiders to beat his younger brother, please forgive him for not being able to understand it. What's more, when Yuanshi first met the two people from the West in Zixiao Palace, he extremely disliked them.
His knees felt very comfortable. Kong Shuang was too lazy to move. Hearing this, he said directly, "Why don't you believe it? Isn't it normal? Humans often talk about brothers fighting each other!"
After saying this, she seemed to feel that she was being too blunt, and quickly changed her words: "No! Just think that he was kicked in the head by a donkey and has become a fool!"
Tongtian laughed and gave her a reproachful look, then remembered her hatred for Yuanshi when he first met Kong Shuang. He had thought that Kong Shuang simply disliked his brother, but now he finally understood the reason.
She was speaking up for herself!
After saying that, Kong Shuang realized that she had said the wrong thing again. It was indeed not a good idea to say in front of others that their brother had been kicked in the head by a donkey, but it felt really good to scold Yuanshi, so she chose to pretend to notice it, and raised one hand with difficulty to pat his shoulder.
"At least you understand what I mean!"
Tongtian frowned: "But I still don't understand? Why would they join forces!"
Kong Shuang felt that he was being too scared and stuck in a dead end, not allowing her time to think about it. Now, her hand slowly touched his chin again and covered his mouth: "Why are you thinking so much? After all, you are now a defeated opponent in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao. You might as well think about how to fight back. Do you still want to be locked up in the small dark room?"
Tongtian blinked lightly, thinking that what Kong Shuang said made sense.
Kong Shuang waited for a while and found that he did not take his hand away. He turned around in confusion and saw that he had taken out the Qingping Sword at some point and was wiping it gently with a white handkerchief.
For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
"what are you up to?"
Tongtian glanced at her, raised his eyebrows, and said seriously: "You are right, why not take advantage of the fact that Tiandao is still weak and put an end to it directly!"
"Ah?" Kong Shuang's expression began to stiffen. It was rare for him to come up with such a simple and straightforward solution. She even began to wonder if he was stealing her lines.
She said dryly: "This is not good! After all, Daozu hasn't been rescued yet."
Tongtian paused holding the Supa, and thought for a moment without thinking: "Then we can start again after we rescue the teacher."
Kong Shuang asked again: "But if we get rid of the Heavenly Dao, the Great Wilderness will be gone, and we will have no place to stay."
Tongtian didn't think twice this time: "Then let's go all out and create another world by creating water, fire and wind."
Kong Shuang was stunned, touching his chin in thought. No wonder Tongtian was so targeted in the original novel and had to be locked up in a small dark room. It turned out that he was not unwilling to admit defeat, but wanted to destroy Tiandao. It would be strange if Tiandao didn't take action against him.
She looked at him lovingly and couldn't help but touch his cheek: "Okay, you are right."
I thought to myself, what are the chances of being able to get the method to fulfill that condition out of Tiandao before getting rid of him?
She was still very tempted by the condition.
As he was speaking, the Water and Fire Boy outside the hall suddenly walked in and reported: "Master, Shen Gongbao wants to see you."
Kong Shuang patted his forehead and suddenly remembered that he only cared about matters of heaven and forgot about Shen Gongbao.
Shen Gongbao walked in dejectedly and said hurriedly, "My Lady, the human race is in chaos!"
Ever since all the Western believers were included in the List of Gods, Xiqi was deserted. Bo Yikao had no choice but to withdraw his troops and surrender. Wen Zhong happily returned to Chaoge, but Jiang Ziya was a little sad.
Although many people died in the West, the places on the List of Gods were still not filled.
At this moment, Queen Jiang, who had originally planned to go to Chaoge to attack Huang Feihu, turned around and returned to her mother's home in Donglu. Then, she produced 120 pieces of evidence to punish the tyrant and led her father, Duke Dongbo, to rebel.
King Zhou never imagined that his first wife would rebel. Thinking of his two sons with Queen Jiang, he hurriedly sent people to look for them, only to discover that the two princes and most of the concubines in the harem had disappeared without a trace.
He was not worried about the two princes being Queen Jiang's biological sons, but he was very worried about the many concubines in the harem who were abducted by Queen Jiang. Queen Jiang was jealous, so how could he know what she would do to the concubines?
King Zhou felt that he was blind. He used to think that Jiang was kind and treated the concubines in the harem like sisters. Now he thought that she even kidnapped the concubines and tortured them when she defected. She was really vicious.
He was furious and ordered Wen Zhong to change his route and attack Dong Lu.
At the same time, in Xiqi, Ji Chang's second son Ji Fa killed his elder brother Bo Yikao, completely took control of Xiqi, and announced that he would continue to march towards Chaoge.
Bo Yikao was kind-hearted and disliked killing, so he advocated retreat. However, Ji Fa was just the opposite. He was a pro-war faction and killed people ruthlessly.
It happened that Wen Zhong went to attack Dong Lu again at this time, so the Xiqi army went all the way to Chaoge, and finally confronted Wen Zhong and Dong Lu outside Sishui Pass, forming a three-way confrontation.
"Isn't this normal?" Kong Shuang was a little confused: "What's wrong with the human race?"
Wars were common during the change of dynasties, so it was not surprising that a fight between two parties turned into a fight between three parties!
Shen Gongbao shuddered, as if a little frightened. "But—Ji Fa has gone mad. He has gained divine power for some unknown reason, and with it he kills without blinking an eye. He executed all those who advised peace in Xiqi. My disciple fought with him, and he almost…"
Kong Shuang's breathing stagnated, and he exchanged glances with Tongtian before listening to Shen Gongbao say, "I knew him before, but his personality has changed drastically. He's completely different from before. He's truly gone mad."
It is understandable that one's temperament changes drastically in a short period of time, but it is terrifying to think about it after obtaining divine power. Moreover, Shen Gongbao is an immortal, so it is even more incredible that he was almost killed by Ji Fa, an ordinary human.
Kong Shuangtongtian thought of a tiny but very reasonable possibility.
The two immediately decided to go and meet Ji Fa.
Speaking of Jifa, Kong Shuang had seen him before. Even though there was still Zhunti hidden in his body at that time, judging from his facial features, he did not look like a cruel and ruthless person.
At this time, Yin and Shang temporarily ceased hostilities, and Donglu and Xiqi, who could have formed an alliance to fight Yin and Shang, inexplicably ended up fighting against each other.
Kong Shuang looked carefully and saw Huang Feihu in the Donglu camp. She understood that Huang Feihu had defected to Queen Jiang again.
It’s not surprising. Queen Jiang rescued his wife Jia and brought his sister Huang Fei, so the whole family is here.
As Ji Fa's notoriety for being a vicious person was now widely known, Huang Feihu's son Huang Tianhua specially asked his fellow disciples for help.
Jifa personally set up the formation, standing alone in it. A third-generation disciple of the Chan sect came to challenge him, but Jifa just raised his hand lightly and, without blinking, slapped him to death with one palm.
There is one more person on the List of Gods.
She couldn't see his strength.
Kong Shuang was secretly shocked. She felt that Ji Fa's raised hand and indifferent expression were somewhat familiar. She turned to Tong Tian and asked, "Do you think he looks like someone?"
Tongtian's brows were cold and he didn't say anything, but his sharp gaze never left him for a moment.
At this time, another person from Dong Lu rushed forward, cursing and ignoring others' attempts to stop him. He looked like a friend of the person who had just died, and he cursed Ji Fa.
Ji Fa turned a deaf ear to him, his expression cold, as if he hadn't heard anything. He raised his hand again as before, his movements stiff and slow.
In an instant, a man suddenly appeared in the Donglu camp, grabbed his fellow disciple's arm, and hurriedly dodged Jifa's attack. Fortunately, they dodged in time and the two were not in danger of their lives.
The man moved so fast that even Kong Shuang couldn't see his face clearly. At this moment, the man was half facing away from them, wearing a water-resistant suit, revealing half of his chin with a clear and beautiful curve.
Kong Shuang's attention was immediately drawn to him, and he followed him closely, thinking, "This person..."
Tongtian had already come to the conclusion that the Heavenly Dao was also hidden in Jifa's body. He turned around and was about to explain it to Kong Shuang in detail, but he saw Kong Shuang staring straight at a disciple of the Chan Sect with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
He frowned, and suddenly understood in his heart that he could guess what the disciple of the Chan Sect looked like without even seeing his face.
It happened that at this moment the disciple turned around, revealing a complete and handsome face.
Kong Shuang took a deep breath, unconsciously tugged at his sleeve, and shared his feelings: "He was born really..."
"What is the truth?" He suddenly interrupted her, his voice was gentle, but when you listened carefully, it sounded like gnashing of teeth.
Kong Shuang reacted and forced himself to look away, looking at the person next to him. He pretended not to care and expressed his own aesthetic standards: "He is really suitable for you and looks a bit like you."
Tongtian was choked by this statement and couldn't think of an answer for a moment. He glanced at the man nonchalantly and said dissatisfiedly: "He is just a young boy. How can he be half like me?"
Kong Shuang waved his hands and replied subconsciously: "You don't understand, being young naturally has its advantages!"
