Chapter 117 Silly He Zhen, I Lied to You for My Brother's Sake 1
The town of Cixi was bustling with people in the morning. He Zhen flew to the best steamed bun shop here early in the morning and walked along the alley.
Suddenly a dark wind blew.
He Zhen was bound by an invisible force, unable to move, and could only watch himself being taken away by two ghosts.
He Zhen was taken to a hidden underground palace, which was filled with the atmosphere of coldness and death.
There was a figure sitting upright on a high throne, looking down at the bound He Zhen, with a sneer on his face.
"Second brother, you hid yourself so well that it took me a lot of effort to find you." The man's voice was low and magnetic.
Although He Zhen was imprisoned, there was no trace of fear in his eyes. He responded coldly: "Yun Zhihe, do you think you can contain the Wuji Xianzong by arresting me? You underestimate Tianjian Peak."
"You are a member of the ghost clan, yet you are quite loyal to your human master," Yun Zhihe turned the jade ring on his thumb, his eyes were like thin clouds in the darkness, reflecting endless brilliance. He was obviously the eldest prince of the ghost clan, with both form and spirit, unparalleled elegance, and was born with the beauty of heaven and earth.
His black hair fell like a waterfall, and he was wearing a white and blue Taoist robe made of moon-flower fabric, revealing a slender figure underneath. He had a superior bone structure and elegant legs. Compared to the ghost clan, he seemed to have a closer relationship with the Buddhist world.
He Zhen remembered that the eldest prince's title was the Lord Guardian of Life, which was even more contrary to the philosophy of the ghost world.
"Father misses you very much." Yun Zhihe showed a look of pity towards He Zhen. He knew very well that in the Western Wilderness Kingdom ten thousand years ago, the second prince of the Western Wilderness Emperor was brave and good at fighting. He had fought back and forth with the female general of the Houtu Kingdom on the battlefield and was invincible.
But the defeat of Xihuang was already decided. After years of war and heavy taxes, the people were full of complaints. The Emperor of Xihuang had appointed his legitimate son as the crown prince and sent the warlike second prince to the Houtu Kingdom for marriage.
But he was kidnapped by a third country, Parthia, on the way. When the female general found him, the second prince had already been cut into pieces and half of his bones were burned on a fire.
The female general saved the dying second prince, but it was too late to save him.
In fact, Yun Zhihe, as the crown prince, did not get any good things either. Not long after he became the crown prince, his father believed the lies of the great witch of Wujiang, and in order to seek immortality, he forced his people to train with ghost poison blood on the same day.
The Great Wizard of Immortality used poisonous insects to seize the bodies of more than 15,000 people in the entire Western Wilderness, including the royal family who were trained to become medicine men. Fortunately, souls were of little use to the Great Wizard, and the entire country was sent to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner of a lousy magic cultivator.
Later, the Ghost Emperor Devoured their Master, and the three thousand people of their royal lineage who survived by chance moved to the ghost world. Because of the bad karma they had in their previous lives, they easily found He Zhen in the ghost world.
With the assistance of Yun Zhihe and the national teacher, Emperor Xihuang ascended to the position of Lord of the Ghost Realm, and in a sense he did achieve immortality.
It's just a pity for He Zhen. For Emperor Xihuang, his death was a sign of the love of family that he realized only after his death. Now his father wants to pass the position of the Lord of the Ghost Realm to him.
Yun Zhihe could only express his opposition to this kind of capricious behavior of the tyrant through actions.
Yun Zhihe lowered his eyes and looked at the young man who was being held in the hall, and made an offer that He Zhen could not refuse: "I will help you kill your father."
A complicated look flashed across He Zhen's eyes. He didn't expect Yun Zhihe to put forward such a condition.
The tremendous hatred brought about by Emperor Xihuang's actions supported all his motivation to survive in the ghost world.
He Zhen was not interested in the power struggle revealed in Yun Zhihe's words.
"What are you going to do?" He Zhen spoke slowly. He left the ghost world because he didn't want to see that tyrannical and old-fashioned old man. He even became a disciple of Tianjian Peak in order to kill him one day.
Yun Zhihe stood up and slowly walked in front of He Zhen. His eyes revealed a firm look: "Father's actions have offended you and me. He sacrificed countless innocent lives for his own selfish desires. It's time for such a selfish and incompetent ghost master to disappear."
He Zhen was silent. He knew that Yun Zhihe was telling the truth. The actions of the Western Wilderness Emperor had caused dissatisfaction and resistance within and outside the ghost world. If this continued, not only would the ghost world fall into chaos, but the entire cultivation world would also be implicated.
"...What do you want to do?" He Zhen said.
"I will seal your memory in the Naiye consciousness world and turn you into a completely different person, making sure that father cannot find you. Then, as a tyrant, he will of course mobilize the power of the ghost world to invade the demon world to find you. The war between the demon world and the immortal world is imminent. If we offend both the immortal world and the demon world in one fell swoop, father's prestige will drop sharply," Yun Zhihe's voice was cold and firm.
"In this way, you can rebel with a legitimate reason. I accept your plan." He Zhen took a deep breath. He knew that he had no way out.
If the tyranny of Emperor Xihuang could be ended through Yun Zhihe, it might be a relief for everyone.
Although the Emperor of Xihuang is not very smart, he is lucky and his cultivation is higher than the top of the demon world. The reason why he can be tolerated by Jun Yuzheng until now is mainly because he is timid when facing a strong person and goes crazy when facing a weak person.
This plan uses family affection to make the Emperor of Xihuang anger Jun Yuzheng. He Zhen was exploited by his family affection in his previous life, and as a ghost he used family affection to exploit his father.
It's just tit for tat after all.
Yun Zhihe's plan was bold and dangerous, but He Zhen had no better choice. He knew that only by completely getting rid of the control of the Western Wilderness Emperor could he truly be free. And Yun Zhihe, as his elder brother, was obviously ready to sacrifice everything.
Under Yun Zhihe's arrangement, He Zhen was brought to the Naye Realm, a mysterious realm that is said to be the final resting place of countless deceased monks. The sky here is covered by a layer of gray mist, as if it were the dust of time, precipitating countless unfulfilled wishes and regrets. All around, transparent figures shuttled silently through the gray mist like light smoke, trying to seduce any conscious carrier that approached.
Yun Zhihe ordered the ghosts to set up the formation and personally performed the art of forgetting life in a dream.
The man stood outside the formation, his face looked particularly stern in the gray fog. He was wearing a white robe with wide sleeves, his hair was half tied up with a hairpin, and two white ribbons were hanging down, fluttering in the wind along the hem of his robe. He slowly raised his hands, and his fingertips flashed a faint blue light, which was the color of the ghost world's secret technique.
He Zhen stood in the center of the formation, with a gleam of determination in his eyes. He knew that once this dream-forgetting life technique was performed, his memory would be taken away, and he would no longer be the same person he used to be. But at this moment, he had no fear, only a feeling of relief.
Yun Zhihe raised his hand and a faint blue light shot out, hitting He Zhen's forehead.
He Zhen's body shook violently, he felt his consciousness begin to blur, and memories flowed from his mind like water.
Countless scenes appeared before his eyes. They were every bit of his life, from his carefree childhood to the hardships of cultivation, to the bloody fighting on the battlefield. All the memories gathered at this moment and woven into the final dream.
