I Persuade People With Reason

"...Then Li Sanyuan became wise overnight, from being born stupid to being extremely intelligent, is that what your third brother did?"

The story that Yuan Liu told, it is clear that only the parties involved know the inside story, which means that his third brother did not completely cut off contact as soon as he left. At least Li Sanyuan's enlightenment must be his third brother himself. revealed.

"Yes, the third brother has been gone for many years and disappeared without a trace." Yuan Liu hesitated for a while, but said, "I also found the old house of the Li family and found the letter that the third brother secretly left us. Know the inside story of this? A repayment of gratitude."

"It's just to give a spiritual fruit to enlighten a foolish child. Is this so urgent?" Yuan didn't glance at him, and said lazily, "If you don't know the inside information, I'm afraid you'll still think. Your third brother has encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will be missed if there is a little delay, so much so that there is no time to notify you, so you can only leave a handwritten letter in a hurry, and you will find it after many years. "

The smile on Wonsan's lips was slightly stiff.

The original attitude is more leisurely.

He casually played with the trembling little hairy ball in his hand, and continued in a casual tone: "For example, a good body is in front of you, and the original owner of the body may have an accident, and the soul is about to dissipate. , is it necessary to hurry up and settle in?"

Yuan Liu's pupils shrank suddenly, his whole body was tense, and he froze in place, his mouth still smiling dryly: "Senior said? Laugh..."

At this moment, I didn't think I saw a frightened fat squirrel, staring at a pair of round and alert eyes, and the whole body's hair and tail almost exploded.

The little ball of hair in his hand has exploded, and it was not in the shape he imagined. This chubby little squirrel wagged its tail and said in horror: "No, third brother? Possessing human race, we are all It's a good monster! Don't, don't eat me, my meat is not delicious, the sixth brother is even better! Yes, I stink, the sixth brother is fragrant!"

His whole hairball was shaking, and so was his voice.

Yuan Liu: "??????"

Look at him like this, if this little hairball is in his hands, I'm afraid he can cook a meal of squirrel mandarin fish on the spot.

Originally shook his head in a funny way: "I said it, it's just an analogy, you don't need to be so excited."

Yuan Liu sighed: "I can't hide it from senior."

"Yes," he said, "Li Sanyuan is my third brother."

After speaking, he hurriedly defended: "However, my third brother is definitely not that kind of monster who forcibly possessed and seized a person's body. According to his handwriting, the young grandson of the Li family has a congenital lack of soul and died prematurely. On the day my third brother arrives, this child will not be able to hold on any longer, and Mr. Li's grief comes from it, so he burst into tears in the courtyard."

Yuan San's original intention was to repay his kindness. Hearing that Mr. Li was crying, he also wanted to contribute. But he? Even if he is already a big demon, where does he have the ability to change his life against the sky and come back to life? He asked Mr. Li to make another wish.

The old man Li just wanted to preserve the inheritance of the incense of the Li family, so Yuan San reincarnated as his demon spirit and entered his body at the moment when the child's soul dissipated. This is the story of Li Sanyuan's enlightenment overnight.

This is the true repayment process recorded in the letters Yuansan left to them. What Tian Xuanguo is all made up by Yuan Liuxin. After all, only such a magical story can attract ordinary people more.

Old Man Li? Grandpa made a wish, and the Yuan San possessed the body? Reincarnated. In a sense, is this a kind of oath? Originally, it was not for the instant that I was reminded of the demonic possession methods I knew before.

He secretly thought in his heart: "Yuan San chose to possess the body, presumably not only to repay his kindness, this should also be an opportunity for him. Otherwise, after many years of cultivation, he gave up and reincarnated into an ordinary person. The price is too high."

...There is also the demon king Li Mo, who keeps saying that his body is dead, the demon is weak, and he must find a specific human body to be resurrected. But when he saw the four corpses in the aisle, he wouldn't believe his nonsense. This guy may have always been in full bloom, but he was pretending to be weak to trick Princess Yuhua into contributing.

And Li Mo's dignified demon king, even sacrificed himself?

Everything was connected in my mind, I didn't want to suddenly look at Yuan Liu who was uneasy: "Is the human body crucial to your monsters? Even, only with a human body can you step out of the key to cultivation? step?"

Yuan San was already stunned.

Nodding for nothing? "It seems that I guessed right."

Yuan Buwei picked up the most important secret, and Yuan San no longer hid it. He said solemnly: "Senior does not know anything, my demon clan does not have any cultivation techniques. From enlightenment to transformation, we only rely on natural talents. If you want to cultivate further, you can only practice human cultivation techniques... "

However, the demon body has some flaws when it is cultivated into a human form. Generally, little demons can't detect it, but the highly talented demon clan can feel the existence of the upper limit. When the cultivation base reaches a certain step, it will touch the ceiling, and it will be difficult to make progress. Only by reincarnating as a human being can the path of cultivation be smooth and unimpeded. If the opportunity is sufficient, maybe one can ascend to immortality.

Most of the demon clan do not know this secret, and the few who know it will not reveal it. It is common for human practitioners to see demons possessing human bodies, and they have never thought about it.

Later, Yuan Liu explained the method of reincarnation in the demon clan. There are two methods.

One is the orthodox reincarnation, that is, to get rid of the demon body and find a family to make a "oath" with oneself - in other words, someone with a cause and a fate, and a little demon spirit into the soul is not yet. Among the fetuses born, it is equivalent to reincarnation. When the memory of the past is awakened in the future, you can use the resources of the previous life to step into the path of cultivation.

There is also a kind of looting like Li Mo. To make an oath with someone by coercion or fraud, and then swallow the soul and attach it to its body—the advantage of this method is that it can actively choose a body with good qualifications. However, once discovered by a cultivator, he will surely never die.

"...Many cultivators are always hostile to my demon clan. Even if they erase their past and reincarnate, they have never done anything evil. If they find out, the end will be bad." , Yuan Liu bowed and said apologetically, "Junior didn't have the intention to hide it, but I was worried that telling the reincarnation of the third brother would make the senior unhappy, so I didn't dare to tell the truth."

...The situation of Yuan San is not an orthodox reincarnation, but it is almost there. The real Li Sanyuan's soul has been dissipated, and when his demon spirit settled in, he also closed all his memories and grew up as a mortal.

Yuan Bu was rubbing the dumplings in his hands and said with a chuckle, "It seems that Li Sanyuan's death was not easy."

A mere plague can also deal with the reincarnation of a big demon, a cultivator who awakens his memory? That would be too ridiculous - at the age of Li Sanyuan's death, he must have awakened some memories of his previous life.

After saying so much, Yuan San no longer continued to cover it up: "Don't hide it from the predecessors, in the years since the third brother left, we have only received news from him once, and that was fourteen years. Before...he? used the secret technique of burning blood, and only gave us one word - escape!"

Yuan Buwei subconsciously rubbed the ball of hair again, until the little guy was about to fry his hair: "Is it interesting. Fourteen years ago? Didn't Li Sanyuan die in the 'plague' fourteen years ago?"

Yuan Liu looked in a trance and didn't say anything. Recalling what happened back then, his expression dimmed, and he gritted his teeth: "That day, Xiao Qi sneaked out of the valley for fun, and I went outside to find him. When I hurried home, the valley was ruined... everything It's gone, they're all dead...I'm not reconciled, the third brother?...I want to know what happened to the third brother, is it him? The location of the valley was revealed, why did the murderer want to slaughter my family...I want revenge!"

Speaking of the latter, it was probably because he was too emotional, and Yuan Liu's words were incoherent and confused.

I didn't care about him, let him vent his emotions, and at the same time sorted out his fragmentary words:

- More than 30 years ago, Yuan San was successful in his cultivation and went to Li's house to repay his kindness. He was reborn as Li Sanyuan, and he rose to prominence step by step until he died of "epidemic disease" fourteen years ago.

But just before he died, he sent Yuan Liu and the others a signal to flee, and his front foot just died, the other demon queen feet in the clan were destroyed, only Yuan Liu Yuan Qi survived.

In order to take revenge, Yuan Liu followed the trajectory of Yuan San's departure to investigate secretly. First, he saw Yuan San's handwriting in the old house of the Li family and knew his identity after his reincarnation. After that, it is estimated that a lot of secret investigations were conducted around Li Sanyuan.

He must have already mastered a lot of evidence pointing to the murderer, and this time he came to the capital to tell the story of Li Sanyuan in public, maybe he was just trying to scare the snake out of the hole, trying to lead the murderer out.

Thinking like this, I asked bluntly, "Are you using yourself as bait and want to fish?"

At six o'clock, Yuan admitted: "Senior is right. I have told stories in several teahouses and restaurants in the past few days. Perhaps the real murderer behind the scenes has been eyeing me."

... Of course, that would also focus on this senior. If there is, what in case, there is this unfathomable senior, maybe he can entrust Xiaoqi?

"Be careful that the fish is too big, it broke the fishing line and swallowed the bait." Yuan Buwei seemed to see his thoughts, rubbing the small hairball, and said something casually.

Yuan Liu nodded silently without saying a word.

... He feels that his cultivation is not low, otherwise he would not take the initiative to go to the capital of Daxia to lure snakes out of the hole. It was purely an accident to meet this mysterious and unpredictable master, but such a master It's not the Chinese cabbage in the field, he? He wouldn't have encountered it twice in a short period of time, right?

Why didn't I just ignore him? What do you think? I fell into deep thought.

Judging from the information disclosed by Yuan Liu, it is likely that something went wrong with Yuan San and his identity was exposed, which led to the coveting of enemies or other people.

And after Yuan San was reincarnated, the memory of the past should be gradually restored. The more you think about him, the more cautious you should be. The most likely time node for exposure? Instead, it is when the memory is awakened at the beginning.

Because at this time, he was just a young man who had just obtained an adventure. Maybe his acting skills were not good enough to reveal his magic, or he would tell secrets directly to people he trusted.

A familiar candidate never appeared in Yuan's mind.

"...is it the emperor?"

In this world, fairies, demons, gods, and Buddhas do not appear, and there is no such thing as supernatural power on the bright side, but this emperor has long wanted to ask Taoism to cultivate immortals as early as when he was a prince, and pursue the illusion that the world thinks does not exist. Power... Maybe it's because, to him, it's not illusory, he's very sure that there are fairies, demons, gods and Buddhas in this world!

So, what makes him so certain?

- It is very likely that Li Sanyuan took the initiative to tell his secret, or he accidentally discovered the anomaly.

And knowing that there are fairy gods and gods in this world, and yearning for this power, he may have encountered a setback with Li Sanyuan, so he turned his attention to Yandang Mountain?

"If it is really the emperor, then the real person Chixiao, no, he will not know about Li Mo? Maybe he and Li Mo have reached an agreement to cooperate in private?"

Thinking like this, Yuan Buwei suddenly said, "Do you have a target of suspicion? The reason why you can only try to lure him out is because you can't find him?"

Yuan Liu's expression was shocked, and he said after a while: "What I suspect is today's Daxiazi. 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 can't get in. to the palace."

"The palace is the gathering place of the dragon energy in the summer, and it extremely suppresses the demonic energy. If you break into it, there is no one in ten cultivation bases."

"But now there is? A demon king in the palace."

When Yuan Liu heard it, he immediately retorted: "This is impossible! The stronger the monster, the stronger the suppression."

It wasn't because the corners of his lips curled up, a smile that was not a smile.

When he saw the dense dragon energy in the palace for the first time and learned that Li Mo could actually be alive and kicking, he had already guessed something.

"What if the master of the palace acquiesced?"
