Chapter 262 The World of Layers
Lian Chengyue was silent for a long time, so long that Ning Mingmei thought he would never speak again.
There is light at the end of the corridor. Where the light is is the world outside the forbidden area. Lian Chengyue said at this moment: "Immortal Venerable, is there really such a world as you said, where everyone is rich?"
Ning Mingmei didn't look back: "You don't believe it?"
Lian Chengyue said: "This sounds too...emotional."
Ning Mingmei paused.
"Putting the contradictions on Spark Island or even the mob is the real emotionality. Using chaos as an excuse to find excuses for the induced social evil is the real emotionality. Using emotional contradictions and quarrels to divert attention is the real emotionality." Ning Mingmei said, "Focusing on science and technology, focusing on academics, focusing on the future and ideals is the real rational world."
The light fell on them both. The two finally walked out of the long corridor.
Lian Chengyue witnessed Ning Mingmei's slender back. At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his heart.
"Really? I think I finally understand why I always feel hungry even though I have escaped from the world."
Lian Chengyue turned his head in horror. He saw a dark corridor and had no idea where the sound came from.
There is nothing worth taking away in Lingshui Village. Besides, Ning Mingmei's subconscious mind told him that this place was not safe. He took Lian Chengyue and left Lingshui Village along the same route they came.
After walking out of the broken barrier, both of them felt like they had seen the light of day again. As they walked, the signal gradually recovered and Ning Mingmei suddenly remembered something.
——Leaving Lingshui Village and heading towards the human world, isn’t that Yetu?
Isn’t Yetu the fiefdom of Lao Shiba’s father, the king of a different surname from the human race?
The Eighteenth Brother is a relative of the Wang family, and is also the illegitimate son of the human race's family of a different surname. Over the years, with the vigorous development of Qingji Sect, Ning Mingmei's name has spread far and wide. As a disciple of Ning Mingmei, Lao Shiba's status and position have also risen, and he is highly valued by the family. When Old Eighteen and Old Seventeen were doing education and training together, Ning Mingmei chose Old Seventeen to be the legal representative for this reason. Later, Ning Mingmei used Lao Shiba's relationship to develop the education and training to the human world. Under the influence of the education and training industry, Lao Shiba has become more valued by his family.
As the saying goes, what belongs to the disciple belongs to the master. What's more, Old Eighteen has not graduated yet and is still a hostage in Ning Mingmei's hands. As a master, what's wrong with paying a home visit?
Make a home visit, and then ask Lao Shiba's family to find someone to send himself and Lian Chengyue to Yaochuan City. Isn't that perfect?
After so many years, it was Ning Mingmei's first time to visit a student's home and he was in a very happy mood. At this moment, he heard Lian Chengyue shouting, "Immortal Master!"
Ning Mingmei walked over quickly, looked at the person being pinned to the ground by Lian Chengyue, and said, "You're awake."
“…”
"What a strange coincidence. You want to escape, but you want to take Wu Yu with you." Ning Mingmei said, "If you just want to escape by yourself, I think Lian Chengyue can't stop you, right?"
Lian Chengyue's lips moved slightly. He seemed to have something to say, but thinking of Ning Mingmei's master's authority, he chose to keep silent like every other college student taking pre-school. The demon chief priest just remained silent, his eyes fixed on the distance.
Ning Mingmei suddenly asked, "Are you worried about the big monster you resurrected?"
“…”
"You are not the demon tribe's high priest, who are you?"
The demon clan's chief priest was horrified, his eyes fixed on Ning Mingmei. Just the shift of his eyes in that instant made Ning Mingmei sure: "Oh, it turns out that you are really not the demon clan's high priest."
“…”
Ning Mingmei: "I was testing you just now."
If the demon clan’s high priest is not the demon clan’s high priest, then who else could it be?
While Ning Mingmei was communicating with the high priest, Lian Chengyue had an idea and had begun to use his secret method to test Wu Yu.
This temptation was not without reason, but because, after awakening his past memories, Lian Chengyue also inherited many special abilities. For example, at this moment, he felt the breath of non-living being from Wu Yu.
"... Immortal Venerable." Ning Mingmei heard Lian Chengyue say, "I find Wu Yu to be a little special."
"What's so special about it?"
Lian Chengyue: "He is not a living thing, but a dead thing."
He was more like a clay doll than a human being.
Ning Mingmei asked: "Does he have a soul in his body?"
Lian Chengyue shook her head: "No."
Ning Mingmei was silent for a moment, and suddenly, he stretched out his hand towards the high priest's face!
The high priest's face was scratched, but no blood oozed out.
"Sure enough, there is a human skin mask..."
However, when the human skin mask was torn and the true face underneath was revealed, Ning Mingmei was stunned.
"...This is indeed the body of the demon clan's high priest. It's useless even if you scratch my face." said the "high priest".
Ning Mingmei fell silent as he looked at the face that looked like it had been burned and disfigured. But after a moment, Lian Chengyue said: "This is a sign that the control technique is backfiring."
"If one intends to mark another's soul as a master or a servant, and fails and is attacked, such a mark will be left on the face of the person." Lian Chengyue slowly dug out this knowledge from his memory as a sword spirit.
"How do you know? Who are you?"
The voice of the demon chief priest indeed changed. Lian Chengyue continued, "And I remember that one of the backlashes of this kind of magic that establishes a channel between souls is..."
"You are Wu Yu, right?"
It is better to be ignorant of the truth.
After he said that, the "high priest" fell into complete silence.
After a moment, he looked at the "Wu Yu" puppet beside him and nodded slightly.
…
"The past between the Demon Fox Tribe High Priest and Bai Ruowan... is basically true. However, after discovering Bai Ruowan's plan, the Demon Fox Tribe High Priest had his own ideas. He looked at Bai Ruowan's life, which was as fragile as a dewdrop and easily passed away, and thought of a way to completely defeat this 'capricious' woman psychologically."
"He wants immortality and wants to become stronger."
Perhaps only in this way can he possess what Bai Ruowan has been seeking all her life and laugh at the hidden pain that Bai Ruowan cannot overcome.
Only in this way can he completely reconcile with himself - reconcile with the "relationship" that he himself refuses to admit. Because he could finally "completely trample that woman under his feet."
Even if that woman has been sleeping in the grave, she will never know the twists and turns in his heart.
If you want eternal life, you need help. The high priest looked through history and discovered that the greatest demon in the history of the fox clan who was closest to "immortality" was named Su Jue.
But in the end, he gave up the pursuit of "eternal life" and chose to spend the rest of his life in a small mountain village. The fox clan was dissatisfied with his "betrayal". When he returned to the Demon Fox Clan's territory for the last time before his death, the then Demon Fox Clan leader expressed great dissatisfaction with him. They asked Su Jue to leave his demon pill as compensation to the demon fox clan.
This unreasonable request was of course rejected by Su Jue. He doesn't owe the fox clan anything. Besides, the fox demon clan wanted his demon pill only because they wanted to use the power inside to practice and start a war against the human world again.
The fox clan was furious and fought with him, using secret techniques to tear apart Su Jue's soul. Su Jue eventually escaped with the help of two human women who were passing through the demon world, but even so, a small part of his soul that was torn apart was forever imprisoned in the demon fox clan.
"The chief priest of the Demon Fox Clan looked through the secret book and found a method - this method requires Su Jue's skeleton and Su Jue's soul that has been imprisoned by the Demon Fox Clan for many years. He wants to use this method to revive Su Jue, use him for his own purposes, and eventually devour him."
Ning Mingmei listened to the "high priest's" story and asked, "Where does he get his confidence from?"
"He has such confidence." The "High Priest" said, "Because the Demon Fox Clan obtained some of Wu Yu's remains from Su Jue, and they also secretly stole them."
Ning Mingmei: "Oh... This is another story about illiteracy killing people."
Su Jue didn't understand biology, let alone how many human bones there were. As Wu Yu's best friend, he also has a good sense of propriety and maintains his own image in front of his best friend's remains. He is not like some yandere lovers who have no sense of propriety and touch their lover's remains every day and count the number of pieces of their lover's remains every day. Therefore, he didn't know that several pieces of Wu Yu's remains had been stolen.
"The Demonic Fox Clan took advantage of my psychological weakness." Ning Mingmei said, "Although I built a monument for Wu Yu and You Su Jue, established a snow theme park, developed surrounding areas including signboards, hemp, and cotton dolls, and took away some of You Su Jue's remains for research, but out of respect for them, I did not count the total number of Wu Yu's remains. The Demonic Fox Clan really understands the psychological weaknesses of humans!"
The "high priest" paused for a moment, and then asked: "What did you say you did?"
Ning Mingmei: "Nothing. Go on. When you're done, I'll give you an annual pass to the theme park."
This time the High Priest paused for a long time. Ning Mingmei didn't know whether he was recalling or trying to digest the information Ning Mingmei had just revealed. But obviously, the "high priest" quickly gave up his thoughts. He said, "However, Wu Yu had already died, and there was nothing he could do with just his bones. So, he did something."
"What..." Ning Mingmei suddenly had a bad feeling.
"In the war three hundred years ago, he orchestrated the...encounter between Wu Yun and the general. Afterwards, he made a deal with a deputy general named Jiang, adding fuel to the flames, which ultimately led to Wu Yun's death and the extermination of the entire Li people."
The Jiang family was the only family whose whereabouts were unknown when they were in Yedi.
The life of the Li shaman is like the blooming and falling of flowers. After their death and death, their souls will not enter reincarnation, but will nourish the land of their clan like fallen flowers. Soaked in the blood of the genocide, Wu Yu was buried in the fertile soil, and died peacefully with no regrets in his soul, but he ultimately never became a saint.
He was awakened in the midst of endless resentment and hatred.
Ning Mingmei said, "So the Li ethnic group incident... there is another side to the truth."
In addition to the sinister human heart, there is also the revelation that it is a crime to possess a treasure.
Wu Yu's remaining soul was sealed in a clay doll by the high priest. He drove him to kill, and dyed the soul of the ordinary and contented witch who guarded the village from pure white to filthy, and finally awakened all of Wu Yu's memories. Wu Yu could not accept that his clan had been wiped out, nor could he accept that his hands were now covered in blood. He collapsed, but could not die.
But this was not enough for the high priest.
He had to completely control Wu Yu's soul and make Wu Yu completely under his control, so that he could control the resurrected You Su Jue.
However, when trying to brand Wu Yu's soul, the self-important high priest suffered a backlash.
"The high priest who thought he had won forgot one thing." The "high priest" said calmly, "Although Wu Yu's talent is mediocre, he was once a witch doctor."
Throughout his life, he was familiar with many techniques of the Li people.
The chief priest of the fox tribe suffered backlash. He failed to leave a mark on Wu Yu's soul. On the contrary, Wu Yu's residual soul rushed into his body along with the backlash, and the huge backlash also destroyed his soul.
This is what happened in the fox tribe's territory after Bai Bugui entered Qingji Sect with a mission.
After that, the chief priest of the fox tribe became a recluse, always carrying a clay doll in the shape of "Wu Yu" with him when he went out. No one knows that a new person has replaced the body of the fox demon clan's high priest.
Ning Mingmei said, "So this is why Bai Bugui has been passive and lazy in the past few years, doing purchasing on behalf of others all day long, but has not been urged by the demon fox tribe."
The "High Priest" was silent.
Ning Mingmei asked again: "Why don't you refer to yourself as 'I', but use the third person to refer to 'Wu Yu'?"
The "high priest" remained silent.
"Is it because you think that the resurrected you is no longer you, right?" Ning Mingmei asked, "Or do you think that the resurrected you with your hands stained with blood is no longer worthy of this name?"
Wu Yu once lived a fulfilling life. Even in death, there are no regrets.
"Because I am no longer Wu Yu, just a remnant soul." The "High Priest" said softly.
Ning Mingmei: "Then what is your reason for wanting to resurrect Su Jue? Do you want to see him? Or do you want to force him to avenge you and the Li people? If you just want to avenge the Li people, then all the people directly related to this matter have been eliminated by Wu Yun..."
Wait, Wu Yun?
When Jiang Duo met him just now, the name Wu Yun suddenly appeared in Ning Mingmei's mind. He was stunned, and a cold light flashed across his glasses. Soon, he continued the topic at hand: "Or, you don't just want to get rid of the people directly related. You also want to get rid of the current court. They are also the beneficiaries of the death of the Li people. Is that right?"
"There is nothing I can do for the Li people. As for me, I should have died on the day of resurrection. I resurrected him because... I wanted to give him back everything he sacrificed for me, that's all. The high priest said that he could have lived forever, but he wasted his life in the village for me." Wu Yu whispered, "Besides, I don't want to hear his residual soul screaming in the jar of the demon fox tribe anymore."
This time it was Ning Mingmei's turn to remain silent. After a long time, he sighed and said, "So what do you want to do with Wu Yu's clay doll?"
Wu Yu said: "At first, he will definitely kill me who has the face of the fox tribe's high priest - he will remember me as the culprit. Then he will soon find out that the clay doll with the face of 'Wu Yu' is just a soulless tool to restrain him. Only in this way can he know that the past cannot be retrieved, and only in this way can he live in peace."
Ning Mingmei: "But Bai Bugui has become a tool of yours from now on."
After saying this, Ning Mingmei thought of Wu Yu's hatred for the demon high priest who destroyed the Li people, and Bai Bugui's disgust for human blood, yearning for the blood of the demon fox clan, and desire to use Su Jue's corpse.
What else is there to say? Wu Yu is also a human being. He experienced such pain after being forced to resurrect, so it is inevitable that he would vent his anger on the high priest's child. Moreover, in his opinion at that time, was it also a kind of justice to get rid of Bai Bugui, who was obsessed with cleansing the human bloodline, fighting for the demon race and regaining the glory of the demon race?
After all, Bai Bugui at that time also looked like a kind of "evil", didn't he?
This world of complexity is like a mess of accounts, as if there is no reason or righteousness to speak of. But suddenly, Ning Mingmei seemed to have picked up a thread from this mess and grasped a corner of the logic.
"Who is she you are talking about?"
"What her?"
"You said she lied to you." Ning Mingmei stared at him intently, "How could you know that we would come back with Bai Bugui and You Su Jue's bone marrow at that time?"
