Tianwei Chapter 257 Black Mountain (7)
Then you... I looked at Yang Fu hesitantly. According to his words, "Yang Fu" should be Mr. Liao.
I am indeed the person you think I am. Mr. Liao confirmed my guess and said: Rejuvenation is not a very difficult thing, especially after obtaining the elixir of immortality. Why do you think the witch ran to Zhonghuang Mountain?
It’s you... I suddenly realized, as if waking up from a dream: he came to find you because you took away the elixir of immortality for the god Yu Yu!
That's right. Old Liao smiled, touched his face, and said: Being young is really a good thing. Xian'er's blood has miraculous effects, but it can only delay my aging, not make me immortal.
I was shocked. Was Mr. Liao using Liao Xian'er's blood to delay aging? What was Liao Xian'er's background? I remembered what Liao Xian'er said in Nanjing, and the doctors who came to the villa to take Liao Xian'er and Mr. Liao's blood. It turned out that all this was fake. No one knew what they were really doing.
You are very surprised and very angry, Mr. Liao looked at me and said.
Yes. I admit it directly: I thought you were good people, but you were all liars.
Liar? Mr. Liao laughed and said: I am a liar, but...
Du Shengmai's plan is a conspiracy with you, right? The old Taoist priest suddenly asked.
That's right. Old Liao nodded and said: They found Black Mountain in the underworld and took the Black Mountain Stone from Black Mountain. Those stones really have incredible magical effects. They can store blood and even store human souls. Theoretically, as long as the method is correct, people who have Black Mountain Stone can live forever. However, Tao Tiansong is too ambitious. He chose to become an immortal and push the Du Shengmai to a supreme position. And I am just a mortal. I want to live forever in this world.
The old Taoist priest remained silent and did not speak again, but his slightly trembling body showed that this man, who was old enough to be my uncle, was in a state of highly turbulent emotions.
The old woman's death was not an accident. In order to become an immortal and to allow Du Shengmai to successfully complete the grand plan, Tao Tiansong showed no mercy. For ambitious people, there is nothing in this world that cannot be abandoned. The past affection happened to be the best help.
The old Taoist once said that if the old woman was really killed by Tao Tiansong, he would definitely find Tao Tiansong and kill him!
But after the cult ascended to heaven, all the doubts of the old Taoist were gone, because the only life vein was gone and completely disappeared from this world. But now, another key figure has appeared.
Mr. Liao!
He participated in the entire cult's plan to ascend to immortality. The Black Mountain Stone was extremely hard, and the power of Taoism had little effect on these things. The polishing of the Black Mountain Stone must have been done by him. The complementarity of technology and Taoism created a miracle.
In fact, you don't need to be too angry, because it was me who lied to you and she didn't know about it, Mr. Liao said.
I looked at him in surprise, because the "she" he was referring to was Liao Xianer.
Xian'er was discovered decades ago when I was exploring the underground world with a group of geologists. At that time, she was still sealed in stone. We were ecstatic , thinking that we had discovered a rare treasure, and even attracted many media to report it. But after research, I found that the stone could be unsealed and she might be resurrected...
Mr. Liao's face was full of nostalgia, although that expression looked a little strange on his young face now. He continued with a nostalgic look and tone: So I recruited a group of people to silence the media. But later it was still not safe, so I discussed with them to kill all other insiders. They agreed, and we killed all the accomplices and set up our own laboratory. Thirty-seven years ago, Xian'er was unsealed from the stone by me. What surprised me was that she had no memory, like a blank sheet of paper.
After drawing her blood, I spent three years studying it carefully and finally came to a conclusion. Her cell vitality is thousands of times that of a normal person. Even if separated from the body, the cells can still survive for a very long time.
I knew I had discovered something remarkable.
At that time, someone came to see me. Do you know who it was? Mr. Liao looked at me with a smile.
No... I was about to shake my head, but a person suddenly flashed through my mind and I subconsciously said: Tao Tiansong...
Yes, you are indeed very smart. Mr. Liao smiled and said: He was still a young boy at that time. We met by chance. He came to find someone, a woman.
Woman...I looked at the old Taoist priest, and he also raised his head and looked at Mr. Liao.
Seemingly satisfied with our attitude, Mr. Liao did not delay and continued: "That woman went somewhere, and it took me a long time to find out her news. Unfortunately, she has lost her memory and is unrecognizable."
The old Taoist's body trembled slightly, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily. Liao Lao looked at him and said: She had a very hard life, being tortured by the people in that place. So, I prepared a poison and spent a lot of money to find some people to take it. Unfortunately, the poison was similar to something used by practitioners. Unfortunately, it was solved. But my goal was achieved.
Why? The old Taoist priest asked again, his voice was very low and suppressed.
Because I wanted to tie Tao Tiansong to my side, I had to have a partner. To me at that time, Tao Tiansong was the only one I could control. Because the Du Sheng Clan was very small, and he was already in power there. If it were another clan, I would probably just be used as a flag, and maybe even be ruthlessly killed in the end.
But why! The old Taoist priest took a step forward, holding the empty talisman in his hand, and asked loudly.
Because Tao Tiansong doesn't want to deal with you, Mr. Liao replied.
The old Taoist was slightly startled, and Liao Lao continued: Even if the woman was treated like that, he still didn't want to. The Du Sheng Meridian is not big. Compared with the world's main meridians, it is too small. Tao Tiansong wants to be stable, he wants the Du Sheng Meridian to develop slowly. The Five Elements Meridian is too powerful, he doesn't want the entire main meridian to be hit because of personal feelings. But that won't work, I can't let him be stable, he must have fluctuations, only with fluctuations can we analyze, only with fluctuations can we get results, only in this way can I quietly develop under the small grass of the Du Sheng Meridian. For me, the power of the Du Sheng Meridian is enough, I am not greedy, because I don't want the power of cultivation. As long as the Du Sheng Meridian can help me in the secular world and solve some disputes, that's enough.
The old Taoist priest was trembling all over, and he could no longer speak. Even I felt as if the whole world had been turned upside down.
The group of people who attacked the Five Elements Taoist Temple with the Hades Poison were actually secretly recruited by Old Liao?
Back then, Tao Tiansong didn't even want to be an enemy of the Five Elements Meridian?
All this is obviously very different from what I know... no, it is the truth that the old Taoist knows.
We were all deceived. The original intention of this scam was that Mr. Liao wanted to get a partner who could connect him with the cultivation world but not escape his control. At that time, the Du Shengmai was obviously the best choice.
Does Tao Tiansong know? I asked.
Hmm? Mr. Liao first asked in a questioning tone, then he patted his forehead in sudden realization and said with a smile: Do you think he knows?
I thought about it and finally shook my head: I don't know. If he knew all this, he would probably deal with you first.
No...Mr. Liao shook his head.
I was even more surprised. Did I guess wrong?
Mr. Liao smiled and said: He really doesn't know, you guessed it right. But even if he knew, he wouldn't do anything to me. Because the cult wants to ascend to heaven, it can't do without my help. In the past few decades, Du Shengmai has helped me develop vigorously in the secular world. And recently, I have also used secular power to help him achieve his wish. His efforts have paid off, and they are huge. Without me, how can the cult hide in the city. Without me, they will be uprooted in a few days. For the ultimate goal, what do you think Tao Tiansong will do and what will he choose? What's more, do you think he still has room for choice? He has no way out.
Boom... With a loud noise, the oval metal panel shook. Mr. Liao looked back and shook his head: What a restless guy.
I looked towards the metal castle, wondering if it was the Black Mountain Leopard or the witch who launched the attack. Oh, the frog girl is still inside! Looking at Liao Lao and Liao Xian'er, I wanted to do it, but I didn't have the courage. Liao Xian'er's origin was too amazing. Even the witch couldn't defeat her, so how could the old Taoist and I...
You... I looked at her, opened my mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say.
Liao Xianer looked at me, with a trace of loneliness on her peaceful face. She sighed softly and asked: "Is Fanran okay?"
Well, it’s okay... After a pause, I added: You shouldn’t have lied to her.
Liao Xianer shook her head and said: I didn't lie to her, nor did I lie to you. My memory was sealed, and my grandfather gave me a false memory from the beginning. I always thought that he was really my grandfather, and I was Liao Xianer, 37 years old, from Nanjing. But until not long ago, he chose to tell me the truth, and I knew that I came from the ancient past...
But why did you help him? I asked eagerly.
Because he raised me for thirty-seven years. Liao Xianer said: Although my past is not here, what I have seen, heard, and learned in these thirty-seven years is the same as yours. Even though I know that my origin is strange, in these thirty-seven years, my blank memory has been filled with everything related to the modern world. I am no different from those ordinary women. I know that giving birth to a child is a blessing.
But he's using you, I said.
It is indeed a kind of exploitation. Liao Xianer looked at Liao Lao and said: But grandpa was very frank. He told me everything and made me understand his purpose. Moreover, I also want to know where my past is. He can't give me the answer. I have to find it myself.
Looking at her, I suddenly remembered a conversation I had with her a long time ago. She said to me: I actually really want to be like her, traveling around and knowing some Taoist magic. Don’t you think this is magical and interesting?
Her dream has now come true, but the process and method of achieving it make me feel bitter.
