Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 154 Immortality Medicine, Immortality Lock (two-in-one)

The firelight reflected in Chen Kuang's pupils also reflected the Taoist priest's almost ugly appearance.

A slight chill climbed up my spine, as if a centipede was stretching out countless legs to crawl up the skin.

Although the Taoist priest in front of him looked like a human being, he felt so inexplicably disgusting.

Today, he finally met one of the culprits who caused him to wander around and be hunted down constantly since he was transmigrated.

Former Liang Guoguo, it is said that he refined the elixir of longevity and presented it to Su Yu.

And it is very likely that he also gave Su Yu advice, causing him to become the existence behind Chen Kuang with bone shadow.

But the strange thing is that Chen Kuang can't feel this man's cultivation level.

In the incarnation of evil karma belonging to Han Shan and Tong Shi, Chen Kuang already knew that Jiang Wuya, who was captured into the Jingnan Palace, had no cultivation and was completely a mortal.

However, Chen Kuang believed that Jiang Wuya must be pretending.

How could such a character have no cultivation base?

Even though under normal circumstances, it is difficult for practitioners to accurately judge the other party's cultivation level, as long as there is spiritual energy in the body, the breath and momentum will be different, and you can generally know which realm level the other party is at.

Even if others can't see it, Chen Kuang has the "Insightful Gaze" passive, so how can he not feel the other person's cultivation level?

But when Chen Kuang really faced Jiang Wuya, he found...

There is really no spiritual energy visible on the other party's body, and no cultivation at all!

"How can it be……"

Chen Kuang took a deep breath in his heart and became extremely vigilant.

Based on his understanding of the world, this abnormal situation represents the real danger.

Because he was sure that the other party could not have no cultivation level——

How could an uncultivated person appear in front of him silently, and he didn't even have the slightest awareness or warning before doing so?

But whether it is "Insightful Gaze" or "whim", it seems to have failed.

This situation has never been seen before!

Next to her, Su Huaiying's pupils tightened. In her memory, she had seen this leprous-headed Taoist priest.

But at that time, she was still in her infancy, and this man seemed to be giving her orders in front of Su Yu, but she had no memory of what he said specifically.

Even if he was extremely talented and intelligent, Su Huaiying could only remember what happened six months later at most, and before that, it was all chaos.

However, she knew the identity of this person clearly.

After the Liang Kingdom was overthrown, this person disappeared directly, and the Imperial Preceptor's Office was empty. He was just like the fake Taoist priest written in all the storybooks who swaggered and deceived into donating Gold Core.

If it is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, for fear of being implicated, but now he appears here again, with his target directly at Chen Kuang, what is his purpose?

Chen Kuang calmly took out the glass shadow lamp, flicked it with his fingers, and said slowly:

"Did you tell King Jingnan about my whereabouts and identity?"

As soon as the glazed shadow lamp appeared, the ruined temple immediately became blazing brightly, and the shadows of all things melted in this light.

Only Chen Kuang not only retains his own shadow behind him, but also has a taller shadow.

Wearing twelve crowns on his head, he looks like an emperor!

The expression on Su Huaiying’s face was suddenly shocked.

Combined with the previous conversation with Zhang Zhizhou, the little princess finally understood what the puzzle piece she didn't know was.

Her father was indeed not dead. Not only was he not dead, he also possessed Chen Kuang through some means!

It seems that he is just waiting for reality to swallow Chen Kuang...

Jiang Wuya chuckled, rubbed his hands and said:

"Isn't that for self-protection? If Pindao hadn't said anything, then King Jingnan would have been so cruel. Not only would he torture Pindao, but he would also take Pindao's life."

"Self-protection?"

Chen Kuang smiled but said: "I remember Wen Bian seemed to have put 'red dragon thorns' on both of your feet. If you don't have cultivation, you will never be able to break free."

"But now, not only have you escaped, but you seem to be unscathed. If you don't know this, what can the Taoist say?"

Jiang Wuya's feet and ankles were indeed intact, with no scars visible except for the thick layer of dirt.

The leprous-headed Taoist priest looked down, scratched his legs, and muttered:

"It was a mistake. Why did he know about it?"

He raised his head, grinned his yellow teeth, and said, "Don't worry about such details."

Chen Kuang said in a deep voice: "Okay, I won't beat around the bush anymore. I only have one question I want to know, what exactly is the elixir of longevity?"

In his opinion, since Jiang Wuya had revealed all the so-called "ghosts behind his back", he probably had no intention of concealing the whole story.

What he wants is nothing more than the truth, and he doesn't want to be a chess piece that is ignorant and manipulated.

Jiang Wuya spread his hands and said, "This poor Taoist doesn't know."

Chen Kuang sneered: "You donated the longevity medicine, don't you know?"

It's okay to deceive ghosts by offering medicine to ghosts, but if you still say it now, Jiang Wuya just wants to fool a fool.

Jiang Wuya looked at him, his eyes flashing with an almost magnificent purple brilliance:

"The elixir of life is the elixir of life, but I really don't know what the elixir of life is."

Chen Kuang was silent.

Can the Riddler get out of Cangyuan? !

Chen Kuang took a deep breath.

Well, if he even guessed, he could generally understand what Jiang Wuya meant.

The elixir itself is indeed an elixir of life.

This has been verified in the status bar. Chen Kuang only obtained the "Flesh Reishi" passive after digesting the elixir of life.

But what does the "elixir of longevity" represent, something that is unreasonable and should not appear like a "perpetual motion machine"?

Jiang Wuya didn't know either.

Chen Kuang pondered for a moment and changed his question:

"Since you don't know, how can you help me kill the monsters behind me?"

He pointed at Su Yu's shadow, and the shadow followed his movements, which was a bit scary.

"Isn't this thing attached to my body through the elixir of life?"

Jiang Wuya said:

"Listen to me one by one."

"Six years ago, Pindao heard that the Emperor of Liang was looking for capable people to refine the elixir of immortality, so he volunteered to help the emperor. However, he did not expect that the elixir of immortality was already in the hands of the emperor. "

"He is looking for people just to deceive others and rationalize the appearance of this elixir of life."

As Chen Kuang listened, the "I am the inspiration" passive took effect immediately, and he judged that Jiang Wuya was telling the truth, which made him feel a little more relaxed.

Although I don’t know what this guy’s purpose is, at least he is telling the truth.

This is enough.

Chen Kuang then frowned and asked: "It has appeared a long time ago, where did the longevity medicine come from?"

If it happened through normal channels, there should be no need to hide it from others.

It means there is something wrong with the origin of this thing!

Jiang Wuya sighed: "Who would have expected that this elixir of longevity would be condensed from the national destiny of the Liang Kingdom!"

Hearing this, Chen Kuang and Su Huaiying were shocked.

Was it born directly from the national destiny of the Liang Kingdom? !

This is not something you say casually. The national destiny is the foundation of a country!

Previously, Chen Kuang relied on persuading the Yangguo Emperor to invite the national destiny, and this was how he suppressed a Saint!

It can be seen that the power of national destiny is very powerful.

It is said that in ancient times, the national destiny was even more terrifying. It could directly affect the strength of a country's practitioners, provide unimaginable blessings, and produce all kinds of miraculous things.

But today's national destiny has already been weakened for who knows how many versions.

But I didn't expect that in the national destiny of Liang State, a longevity elixir would be born? !

Doesn’t that mean that Liang’s national destiny shows signs of reviving the ancient atmosphere?

For an emperor, isn't this true auspiciousness from heaven?

But Jiang Wuya continued: "However, not long after that, the national destiny of the Liang Kingdom declined infinitely and was almost on the verge of destruction."

"Sure enough, not long after, the news that the elixir of life was in the hands of the Liang Emperor was leaked, and the Zhou State began to send troops to harass and test."

"Alas, General Huo is so pitiful. After four years of support, he can no longer continue."

"Then, of course, Liang's defense line was broken, the Black Armored Army's cavalry pressed into the territory, laying down millions of corpses, destroying the imperial city, killing the emperor, and imprisoning his wife..."

When Chen Kuang heard this, he sneered in a low voice:

"But Su Yu actually had a premonition of this."

"It was only a matter of time before the country's fortunes declined and the Liang Kingdom was destroyed... However, before that, he had already thought of a way out."

Jiang Wuya grinned and looked at Chen Kuang: "Yes, that escape route is you."

Chen Kuang took a deep breath: "This candidate shouldn't be chosen casually by Su Yu, right?"

Jiang Wuya nodded and said: "That's right, that's right."

He stretched out his thin fingers, pointed at himself, shook his head, and said proudly:

"It is just a poor man who is not talented at all. He discovered that among the palace musicians, there is one person with a unique destiny, who is enough to escape from the encirclement of thousands of troops and take away this glimmer of life."

Chen Kuang: "..."

If this guy wasn't still useful now, he really wanted to punch him in the head!

It turns out that the culprit is you, old guy!

Chen Kuang took a few deep breaths, and then said expressionlessly:

"I know that national destiny and the elixir of longevity are tied together, but why did Su Yu become a single ingredient in the elixir of life?"

Jiang Wuya chuckled and said, "I wonder if you have heard of the 'Eternal Life Lock'?"

Chen Kuang's brows jumped.

Of course he had heard of these three words.

Moreover, this word is still an unsolved mystery that has sunk in his heart for a long time.

A month ago, shortly after he escaped from the imperial city, he was chased by two elders named Wei Yan and Zhao Lie from the Three Tribulations Sect.

At that time, when the two of them were talking as if no one was watching, they mentioned the words "eternal lock".

In the conversation between the two of them, "Eternal Lock" should be the name of a formation, and this formation may involve "national destiny", "dragon vein", etc.

It’s just that Chen Kuang didn’t know much about these things at that time.

There is no way to know what this "eternal lock" is.

Now that I think about it, this thing is probably of a terrifyingly high level.

Chen Kuang said: "I've heard of it, but I don't know what it is."

Jiang Wuya's eyes flashed with purple light as he explained: "The so-called 'Eternal Life Lock' is a forbidden secret technique passed down from ancient times. Only emperors who have mastered the fate of the country can use it."

"This thing was originally a kind of benevolence technique."

"Only a kind king with the world in mind can use it."

"Because the function of this 'Eternal Lock' formation is to sacrifice the king himself, enhance the destiny of the country, and at the same time benefit the general public."

"As long as the formation takes effect, the king will immediately sacrifice his luck, soul, and body. Everything will greatly increase the country's luck. The people of this country will also be able to live longer, and their practice will also be beneficial."

"Because this formation can integrate the king and the country's fate, and make the king's consciousness become the consciousness of the country's fate. In other words...the king is the country!"

"From then on, the king can use the luck of the country to spread the rain and make the country long-term and stable."

Jiang Wuya said quietly: "It's just that the only problem is that from now on, this king will be trapped in the invisible destiny of the country and spend his eternal life."

"Therefore, this secret technique is called the 'Eternal Lock'."

Chen Kuang frowned and said, "But... this secret technique has become taboo now."

"Kings are also human beings. Over such a long period of time, a benevolent king will be tortured until he becomes a tyrant."

Jiang Wuya's eyes were full of excitement, and he danced and said:

"Exactly! Exactly!"

"Every king who used the 'Eternal Lock', without exception, turned into the terrifying invisible devil and buried his country with his own hands."

"Because he has been with the country's destiny. Only when the country's destiny dies, will he die with it!"

"Since then, the 'Eternal Lock' has become a taboo and is no longer used by people."

Chen Kuang said: "So, Su Yu used the 'Eternal Life Lock' at the last moment to tie himself to the fate of the country."

"At the same time, he also sent the national fortune and the elixir of longevity to me?"

Jiang Wuya nodded.

"Huh..." Chen Kuang let out a sigh of relief.

He finally understood what kind of game he was being used as a pawn in.

But the next moment, Chen Kuang frowned, subconsciously feeling something was wrong:

"That's not right. I heard this word from the Three Tribulations Sect elder of Zhou Kingdom before..."

Jiang Wuya grinned:

"Su Yu is not the only one in this world who knows this secret technique."

Chen Kuang frowned: "Ji Chengtian also plans to use it? No, it's impossible. He is still in Zhou Kingdom, why should he use this secret technique?"

Jiang Wuya laughed, his eyes widened, his expression as sinister as an owl, he patted his thigh and said:

"Ji Chengtian is planning to reverse this secret technique!"

Chen Kuang took a deep breath.

Su Huaiying next to him also understood instantly, and his scalp was numb: "Ji Chengtian, do you want to use the 'Lock of Immortality' backwards?"

"Yes, and the target is not the people of Zhou State, but... Liang State!"

Jiang Wuya finished speaking.

Chen Kuang's scalp felt numb.

Damn it, it's all true!

In other words, Ji Chengtian is planning to use the people of the Liang Kingdom to sacrifice themselves to himself, and use the flesh and blood of the Liang people to achieve the national destiny of the Zhou Kingdom!
