Chapter 148
.
The small ball of hair in his hand had exploded, and it was in an unexpected shape. The fat little squirrel shook its tail and said in a terrified voice: "No, the third brother is not possessed by the human race, we are all good monsters! Don't, don't eat me, I don't taste good because I have little meat, the sixth brother is more delicious! Yes, I stink, the sixth brother is fragrant!"
The whole ball of hair was shaking, and the voice was shaking.
Yuan Liu: "???????"
Looking at him like this, if this little ball of hair was in his hand, I'm afraid he could cook a squirrel fish on the spot.
Yuan Buwei shook his head in a non-amused manner: "I said, it's just an analogy, don't be so excited."
Yuan Liu sighed: "I still can't hide it from the senior."
"Yes," he said, "Li Sanyuan is my third brother."
After that, he hurriedly explained: "However, my third brother is definitely not the kind of monster that forcibly possesses and takes away people's bodies. According to his handwriting, the young grandson of the Li family was born with a lack of soul and was destined to die young. The day my third brother arrived, the child was about to die, and Mr. Li was so sad that he cried in the courtyard."
Yuan San originally came to repay his gratitude. Hearing Mr. Li crying, he also wanted to help. But even if he was already a big monster, how could he have the ability to change fate and bring the dead back to life? So he asked Mr. Li to make another wish.
Mr. Li only wanted to preserve the incense and inheritance of the Li family, so Yuan San reincarnated as his own demon spirit and entered the child's body at the moment when the child's soul dissipated. This is the story of Li Sanyuan's enlightenment overnight.
This is the true story of repaying gratitude recorded in the letter Yuan San left for them. What Tianxuan Fruit is all made up by Yuan Liu. After all, only such a magical story can attract ordinary people.
Mr. Li made a wish, and Yuan San possessed and reincarnated. In a sense, this is also a kind of oath? Yuan Buwei instantly thought of the demon possession method he had learned before.
He thought to himself, "Yuan San chose to possess a body, not only to repay his gratitude, but also as an opportunity for him. Otherwise, it would be too much of a price to give up all the years of cultivation and reincarnate as an ordinary person."
...There is also the demon king Li Mo, who has always said that his body is dead and his demon soul is weak, and he must find a specific human body to revive. But Yuan Buwei, who has seen the four corpses in Daozhen Temple, will not believe his lies. This guy may have been in his prime, but he just pretended to be weak to trick Princess Yuhua into working hard.
And Li Mo, the demon king, even used the beauty trick of sacrificing himself, isn't it just to covet his body?
Everything was connected in his mind, and Yuan Buwei suddenly looked at the uneasy Yuan Liu: "Is the human body vital to your demon race? In fact, only with the human body can you take a key step in cultivation?"
Yuan San was stunned.
Yuan Buwei nodded: "It seems that I guessed right."
Yuan Buwei had revealed the most important secret, so Yuan San no longer concealed it. He said in a deep voice: "Senior, you don't know that my demon race does not have any skills. From awakening the spirit to transforming into a human form, it depends only on talent. If you want to make further progress, you can only practice the human race's skills..."
But there are flaws in the cultivation of a demon body into a human form. Ordinary demons cannot detect it, but the demons with high talent can feel the existence of the upper limit. When the cultivation reaches a certain level, it will hit the ceiling and it will be difficult to make any progress. Only by reincarnating as a human can the path of cultivation be unobstructed. If the opportunity is enough, you may be able to ascend to become an immortal.
Most of the demons don't know this secret, and the few who know it will not reveal it. The cultivators in the world are also accustomed to seeing demons possessing human bodies, and have never thought about it deeply.
Afterwards, Yuan Liu talked about the reincarnation method in the demon race. There are two methods.
One is the orthodox reincarnation, that is, shedding the demon body, finding a family that has made a "vow" with oneself - in other words, there is a cause and effect, a fate - and putting a little demon spirit into the fetus whose soul has not yet been born, which is equivalent to reincarnation. When the past memories are awakened in the future, they can use the resources of the past life to step into the path of cultivation.
Another is to take over the body like Li Mo. Make a vow with people by force or fraud, then swallow the soul and attach it to their body - the advantage of this method is that you can actively choose a body with good qualifications. However, once discovered by the cultivator, it will definitely be a fight to the death.
"... Many cultivators are hostile to our demon race. Even if we erase our past and reincarnate, and have never done anything evil, if they find out, our fate will be bad." At this point, Yuan Liu bowed and apologized, "I didn't mean to hide it, but I was worried that telling the story of my third brother's reincarnation would displease the seniors, so I didn't dare to tell the truth."
... Although Yuan San's situation was not an orthodox reincarnation, it was almost the same. The real Li Sanyuan's soul had dispersed, and his demon spirit had taken over, and he also sealed all his memories and grew up as a mortal.
Yuan Buwei rubbed the dumplings in his hands and chuckled, "It seems that Li Sanyuan's death is not simple."
It's ridiculous that a mere plague can deal with the reincarnation of a great demon and a cultivator who awakened his memory - at the age when Li Sanyuan died, he must have awakened some of his memories in his previous life.
Having said so much, Yuan San no longer kept secretive: "To be honest, senior, in the past few years since Third Brother left, we have only received news from him once, and that was fourteen years ago. Before...he used the secret method of burning blood and only gave us one word - escape!"
Yuan Buwei subconsciously rubbed the hair ball again, until the little guy's hair almost exploded: "Interesting. Fourteen years ago? Didn't Li Sanyuan die in the 'plague' fourteen years ago?"
Yuan Liu looked in a daze and said nothing. Recalling what happened that year, his face darkened, and he gritted his teeth: "That day, Xiaoqi sneaked out of the valley for fun, and I went outside to look for him. When I rushed home, the valley had been destroyed... Everything is gone, all dead... I am not willing to accept it, Third Brother... I want to know what happened to Third Brother, did he reveal the location of the valley, and why did the murderer want to kill my family... I want revenge. !”
Speaking of the latter part, he was probably too excited, and Yuan Liu's words were a little incoherent and confusing.
I didn't do anything and ignored him, letting him vent his emotions on his own, and at the same time sorted out his fragmentary words:
——More than thirty years ago, Yuan San achieved success in cultivation. He went to Li Mansion to repay his kindness and was reincarnated as Li Sanyuan. He gradually rose to prominence until he died of the "epidemic" fourteen years ago.
But just before he died, he sent a signal to Yuan Liu and others to flee. As soon as his front leg died, the other demons in the clan were killed, and only Yuan Liu and Yuan Qi survived.
In order to take revenge, Yuan Liu secretly investigated Yuan San's departure. He first saw Yuan San's handwriting in the Li family's old house and knew his identity after reincarnation. After that, he probably conducted a lot of secret investigations around Li San Yuan.
He must have had a lot of evidence pointing to the murderer, and this time he came to the capital to tell Li Sanyuan's story in public, perhaps to scare the snake away and lure the snake out of its hole, hoping to lure the murderer out.
Thinking like this, Yuan Buwei asked bluntly: "Are you using yourself as bait to fish?"
Yuan Liu nodded and admitted: "Senior, you are right. I have told stories in several teahouses and restaurants in the past few days. Maybe the real murderer behind the scenes has already targeted me."
...Of course, that would also mean keeping an eye on this senior. If there is any emergency, with this unpredictable senior here, maybe Xiao Qi can be entrusted to him?
"Be careful, the fish is too big, it will break the fishing line and swallow the bait." Yuan Buwei seemed to read his thoughts, rubbed the little hair ball, and said casually.
Yuan Liu nodded silently and said nothing.
... He felt that his cultivation level was not low, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to go to the capital of Daxia to lure the snake out of its hole. Meeting this mysterious master was purely accidental, but like this A master is not just a cabbage in the field. He will not encounter him twice in a short period of time, right?
Because I didn't care what he thought, I just fell into deep thought.
Judging from the information revealed by Yuan Liu, it is likely that something went wrong with Yuan San and his identity was exposed, which attracted the covetousness of enemies or other people.
After Yuan San's reincarnation, his past memories should be gradually restored. The more he remembers, the more cautious he should be. The most likely time point to be exposed is when the memory is first awakened.
Because at this time, he is just a young man who has just had an adventure. Perhaps if his acting skills are not good enough, he will expose his own magic, or he may directly tell the secret to someone he trusts.
A familiar candidate appeared in my heart.
"...Is he the emperor?"
In this world, immortals, monsters, gods and Buddhas do not appear, and there is no supernatural power on the surface. However, as early as when he was the prince, this emperor had been bent on pursuing Taoism and cultivating immortality, pursuing illusions that the world thought did not exist. Power...perhaps because, to him, this is not an illusion. He is very convinced that there are immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas in this world!
So, what is the reason that makes him so sure? ⑥Think⑥Rabbit⑥on⑥Online⑥Read⑥Read⑥
——It is very likely that Li Sanyuan took the initiative to reveal his secret, or that he discovered the anomaly due to negligence.
And knowing that there are immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas in this world, and longing for this power, he may have encountered a setback from Li Sanyuan, so he set his sights on Yandang Mountain?
"If he is really the emperor, then Chixiao Zhenren, no, Li Mo's matter, will he not know about it? Maybe he and Li Mo have already reached an agreement to cooperate privately?"
Thinking like this, Yuan Buwei suddenly said: "Do you have a target of suspicion? The reason why you can only try your best to lure him out is because you can't find him?"
Yuan Liu looked shocked, and after a while he said: "The one I suspect is Da Xia Zi today. He has the best relationship with my third brother, and he has the ability to secretly mobilize people to burn Yandang Mountain without being detected... But, I entered Not going to the palace."
"The imperial palace is where Daxia's dragon energy gathers, and it extremely suppresses the demonic energy. If you break into it, your cultivation level will be at a loss."
"But now there is a demon king in the palace."
When Yuan Liu heard this, he immediately retorted: "This is impossible! The stronger the demon, the more severe it will be suppressed."
It turned out that the corners of his lips were curved, half-smiling but not smiling.
When he saw the dense dragon aura in the palace for the first time and learned that Li Mo could actually be alive and kicking here, he already guessed something.
"What if the master of the palace acquiesces?"

Yuan Liu was not stupid. After hearing what Yuan Buwei said, he quickly reacted: "Senior, what you mean is that the Great Xia Tianzi is colluding with another big demon?"
Yuan Buwei said: "That's about right."
"If any mortal finds that there are magical powers beyond the imagination of mortals in this world, and the people around him may be such strange people, will he still be willing to be a mortal for the rest of his life?"
He looked towards the direction of the palace and said softly.
"...Especially, he was originally the crown prince of a country, the future ruler of the world. He thought he was the most noble person in the world, but he found that he was just a person who looked at the world from afar, lived and died in the evening, and was like a mayfly. Will he be willing to accept it?"
"No, that friend is unwilling to help him, or is unable to help him - but he may not be willing to believe it. Suspicion, jealousy, greed... all living things are like this. Once greed overwhelms everything, will he do whatever it takes to satisfy himself?"
Destroying Yandang Mountain may have given him something, but it is far from enough to achieve his goal; holding a water and land ceremony may still fail to achieve his wish, but instead some changes have occurred, making him choose to wield the butcher knife; the emergence of Daozhen Temple, Li
