Mysterious World, I Have Special Understanding

  Chapter 112 (end of volume) There is only one truth?

  After Chen Hanshi exploded and died, the scene was already in a mess.

  The stone slabs paved on the ground broke apart from the ice layer, revealing large holes one after another.

  The few human skins in the mist are still playing music and dancing, and the carp skin floating above their heads is still so scary.

   Ji Que poked them a few times with his sword, and found that the other party didn't respond at all, and continued to play on his own.

  They seem to be immersed in an endless fantasy, repeating all this, knowing nothing about everything outside.

  Until there was a snort, Ji Que accidentally poked a little harder, piercing one of the skins.

  So visible to the naked eye, the human skin suddenly withered, fell to the ground, lost all vitality, and only a piece of carp skin was left pulling its corpse.

  This is called the real "breath of life."?

  As for the adult-sized carp that attacked Ji Que before, it was caught again.

  This carp suffered at least two sets of combos from Ji Que, and its body was covered with marks from hammers, swords, bricks, rulers, and even folded stools.

   But in general, one pair of eyes with eyelids can be vaguely seen.

  According to Ning Hongyu, Chen Hanshi knows a very clever illusion, which should be inseparable from this kind of fish with eyelids.

  This means that this Chen Hanshi not only can make alchemy, shed skin, but also raise fish?

  To be honest, this fish reminded Ji Que of the "Mud Dragon King" that he killed on the boat. At that time, the mud dragon king transformed into Rouge in the story of the boss of the boat, and almost scared the other party to death.

  Obviously, this adult-sized carp is much more capable. The sense of oppression that made his heart almost miss half a beat just now is incomparable to the "Rouge" that night.

  At this time, Ning Hongyu stood on the collapsed Baiyu Pavilion, looked towards the water under the ice, and said, "There seems to be a house below."

  A few people were curious, so they couldn't help but look down.

   As a result, Ji Que, Elder Xue, and Old Man Luo looked carefully for a while, but none of them saw the outline of the so-called house.

  So they looked at Ning Hongyu who only had his left eye open, and confirmed that people are really not the same.

  This woman's one eye is better than their six eyes?

  Ji Que twisted his hand, and a beam of light shot out from the Qianji Sword, illuminating a piece of water below like a flashlight.

  Old man Luo said with respect in his eyes: "Is there anything you can't do with this sword?"

   "That's too much." Ji Que replied.

  Old man Luo said seriously: "If one day, it suddenly becomes your woman and sleeps with you, I won't be surprised, old man."

  Ji Que: "."

  Turning the sword into a woman, I can imagine that one is still so unruly at an old age

   However, this might not be a good idea.

  It is said that there is no woman in the heart, and the sword is naturally divine. If the sword is originally a woman, if you pull it out every day, will it be divine?

  The four of them prepared for a while, but they still planned to go into the water.

  Although Chen Hanshi died, they still had many mysteries to solve.

  This place is more underworld, they don't want to visit again, so the best way is to take this opportunity to investigate everything here at once.

   Gululu.

  As the bubbles continued to rise upwards, several people were getting closer and closer to the house below.

  The water here is bitingly cold, and under the light of light from the sword in Ji Que's hand, it still presents a dark green color, which looks extremely deep.

  Finally, a few people floated in front of the gate of the water house.

  This building has already collapsed a lot because it has been soaked in water all year round, but from here, it looks like a deep house.

   Gudong

  Suddenly, a stream of water rushed in, and the green moss stuck to the door was shaking.

  It was a daunting feeling, like something big was breathing in the house.

   Ji Que and the four quickly formed a defensive position, glanced at each other, and swam in.

   Entering the slanted gate of the house, the first thing that catches the eye is a screen wall.

  The screen wall is covered with green moss and water plants, and the few exposed patterns have long been blurred. It looks like faces hidden among the green moss and water plants, which is particularly gloomy.

   Arriving here, the expressions of the four became more dignified, and old man Luo had unknowingly pulled out the "Ecstasy Stinger".

  Because the feeling that the behemoth is swallowing water becomes more and more obvious.

  Ning Hongyu swam over first, followed by Ji Que, and after that, they suddenly floated there without moving.

  Elder Xue and old man Luo saw surprise and even fear in the eyes of the two juniors.

   You must know that these two juniors are much more courageous than them, otherwise they would not be able to live now.

   And what did they see?

  Elder Xue swam over, and when everything behind the screen wall caught her eyes, she was so frightened that she almost choked on water.

   It was a huge fish-shaped thing, like a sunken ship, which filled the originally quite spacious courtyard.

  When the light of the sword in Ji Que's hand shone, the scalps of Elder Xue and Old Man Luo felt extremely numb for a moment.

  That is not a giant statue at all, but a real carp, those scales and flesh and blood are so real.

  They could even smell the rotting, fishy smell of it.

   Ji Que looked at Ning Hongyu, who shook his head.

   This is not an illusion, but a real carp.

   It's hard to imagine that such a big carp really exists in this world.

  Everyone has a feeling of chills all over the body.

  Because it was too big, it lay there quietly, as if in a deep sleep. A lot of fish scales on its skin had fallen off, and each piece was half the size of a person, emitting a dull light.

  At this time, the beam of light projected by the Qianji Sword in Ji Que's hand suddenly flickered. Elder Xue and Old Man Luo looked at him in fear, and then at the big fish, fearing that the other party would wake up in an instant.

   A moment later, as Ji Que twisted, the light beam stabilized again, but it was much dimmer than before.

   Ji Que wrote a line of words under the water with an apologetic face - "Sorry, the sword got into the water, just use it.".

  He just remembered now that the function of this flashlight really didn't take into account the problem of waterproofing.

  But the other party's flickering appearance just now really has the atmosphere of a horror movie, and even he was so scared that he was sweating.

  Elder Xue and old man Luo felt that he was unreliable, so they took out their own lighting magic weapon.

  Ji Que knows that most of their lighting tools are made of fiery stone, which is really stable, but expensive.

  The soft light penetrated the dark green waters, becoming increasingly dimmer.

   At this time, Ning Hongyu wrote in the water: "Don't worry, he is dead."

  The three of them could trust Ning Hongyu's vision, so they all relaxed a little.

   But only a little.

Because this thing is so big, even if it is dead, it still gives people a huge sense of oppression, especially the pair of fish eyes with eyelids, no matter whether you light it or not, wherever you swim, it seems to be watching looking at you.

   As if it never died.

  At this time, a string of air bubbles burst out of the mouth of the big fish, and the whole mouth opened slightly, and the surrounding water flow changed as a result, which shocked several people.

  Elder Xue and old man Luo were so frightened that they backed away for a long distance, and old man Luo's ecstasy stab floated in front of him, ready to go

  At this moment, even Ning Hongyu felt that this huge monster had come to life.

   But after this, everything returned to calm.

   Ji Que suddenly thought of something and swam over.

  When the beam of Qianji Sword projected into the fish mouth that had just opened, he felt his scalp go numb.

  I saw another carp that was slightly smaller in the mouth of this carp.

  Another smaller carp opened its mouth, and another one opened its mouth.

  They are stacked on top of each other, and I don't know how many layers they have.

   Ji Que understood immediately that this was not fish at all, but fish skin.

  The giant in front of you is supported by layers of lifelike fish skin.

  Huge carp, one layer upon another, and I don't know how many fish skins are covered inside.

   Does this mean that the thing in front of me has shed countless layers of skin?

  Every time a snake sheds its skin, it means that it has survived another catastrophe. Therefore, the shed skin of the same snake tends to grow bigger and bigger, while the carp's shed skin tends to get smaller and smaller.

  Looking at those overlapping fish skins with mouths, Ji Que only felt that this kind of thing was really disgusting.

  He stepped back, in a daze, and stepped on a broken plaque.

  The plaque was soaked in water and swelled so badly that it was pressed down by a stone.

   In a vague way, Ji Que saw the words "Zhao Family Ancestor Temple" above.

  Yes, the only recognizable characters on it are "Zhao" and "Ancestral Temple", but the remaining two characters can be easily guessed.

  Zhao Clan Ancestor Ancestral Hall, Zhao Clan Ancestor Ancestral Hall, this submerged house belongs to a family surnamed Zhao.

  Wait, he remembered that the founder of Yunxuezong was also surnamed Zhao?

   Zhao Lianyue.

   So, Zhao Lianyue is a member of his clan?

   In a vague way, Ji Que had a little guess of his own.

   Very early on, there may have been a family named Zhao in this area. Judging from the deep appearance of the courtyard, this family was quite prosperous at that time.

   It may be due to the earthquake and torrents, or some other reasons, the entire Zhao family house sank into this water.

  In this water area, there just exists such a terrifying carp spirit.

  If the carp essence wants to take shape, it has to go through countless molts, or it has to molt countless times, and it can't get a human shape.

   And it relied on its own mysterious power to occupy the body of a member of the Zhao family named Zhao Lianyue, and was able to walk around the world in human form.

  After that, there was the story of Zhao Lianyue, the founder of Yunxuezong.

  The experience of Zhao Lianyue, the founder of the Yunxue Sect, accompanied by Linghu, and eventually became a grandmaster of a generation, is obviously an over-glamorized story.

  Carp spirits and spirit foxes can actually be regarded as spirits and monsters. There are many legends in this world that spirits and monsters form Taoist couples and go to the road together.

It's just that this way of occupying the human body is not perfect. After the carp essence obtained Zhao Lianyue's body, it still needs to shed its skin continuously to continue its life. Does this also explain that Zhao Lianyue, the founder of Yunxuezong, obviously only has the cultivation base of the six realms of moving mountains? , but lived nearly a thousand years old.

  This longevity is obviously unreasonable.

During these long years, the carp spirit Zhao Lianyue had a special purpose, maybe because of the Dao of Longevity, maybe because she wanted to get rid of the disadvantages of her body, or maybe she simply wanted to devour the spirit fox Taoist companion who was also a monster, so she came to this place. There is the picture of the big fish devouring the spirit fox that I saw before.

  If this speculation is true, it only shows that this is an exceptionally dark story.

   It is very likely that Zhao Lianyue, the first patriarch of Yunxue Sect that everyone admires, was not a human being in the first place?

  Of course, this is all Ji Que's wishful thinking based on limited information.

  Maybe there is another possibility, that is, Zhao Lianyue swallowed the carp spirit and spirit fox by some means back then, and then possessed this weird longevity method.

  After all, people in this world are often sinister and greedy.

  Strength and longevity are natural temptations for human beings, especially longevity.

  In order to confirm his guess, Ji Que bravely swam into the mouth of the huge carp.

  He swam through layers of open fish mouths, and finally, in the deepest part of the layers of fish skin, he saw the corpse of a "carp" about the height of an adult.

  The eyes of this "carp" still have eyelids, but they are more human-like.

   Because it has limbs.

  The body of the fish has human hands and feet.

  He felt that this was Zhao Lianyue's corpse.

  The corpse of the first ancestor of the Yunxue Sect.

   Behind, Ning Hongyu also swam in.

   Through her confirmation, the carp with human limbs is indeed dead.

   And Ji Que also understood a word from this corpse - "dead but not stiff".

   This corpse has been soaked in water for many years, but it is still lifelike, and there are not many signs of corruption. You can even clearly see the slender white nails on its hands and feet.

   But this corpse is not complete.

  There are holes of different sizes on the head of the fish, which are the marks of sharp objects.

   Involuntarily, Ji Que thought of another person.

  Chen Hanshi.

   To be precise, it is Gu Xin.

  As the suzerain of the previous generation of Yunxue Sect, Gu Xin should have discovered the secret of the first ancestor Zhao Lianyue by accident.

  Ji Que seriously suspected that the carp skins that were buried in the tomb at the bottom of the lake before were the skins that the first patriarch Zhao Lianyue shed after becoming a human.

  In short, Gu Xin discovered Zhao Lianyue's secret, so he began to study how to live forever.

   And his method is alchemy, using Zhao Lianyue's flesh and blood to connect human organs to alchemy.

  The flesh and blood dug up from the corpse in front of him is the best proof.

  Before in the underground alchemy room, old man Luo felt that the alchemy furnace had a human smell, but when Ji Que stuck his head in, he smelled a fishy smell.

   It can be seen that there are not only people refining there, but also fish.

  The "fish" with human limbs in front of you.

   Now it seems that Gu Xin has succeeded by refining alchemy and swallowing alchemy. He can also shed his skin and live forever like the first ancestor Zhao Lianyue, and even occupy Chen Hanshi's body to continue to survive.

  Of course, this way of longevity has the disadvantages of memory loss and body itching, or in other words, Zhao Lianyue had such disadvantages at that time, but because the time interval is too long, there is no way to study it.

   This is Ji Que's guess about everything in front of him.

   Afterwards, he and Ning Hongyu got out from the layers of fish mouths.

  After seeing the two people coming out again, Elder Xue and Old Man Luo let go of their high-suspended hearts.

  At the same time, they looked at these two juniors with more admiration, even awe.

   Today's young people are becoming more and more unreasonable.

   You must know that in the era when they were all-powerful, the world of practice was very simple. Those with high realms had higher status and confidence than those with low realms, received more salaries, and even found it much easier to find Taoist companions.

  But the existence of Ji Que and Ning Hongyu shattered their world view, as if the realm was not worth much. I always felt that I had been nesting in the Yunxue Sect for too long, and I don't know what big changes have taken place outside.

  Finally, the four returned to the ice.

  Ji Que succinctly stated what he saw and thought, which made the scalps of Elder Xue and his party tingle.

  The suzerains of the two generations, Gu Xin and Chen Hanshi, are actually the same person. It is shocking enough to say that they have survived by refining evil alchemy, but now, you tell me that the ancestors were all carp spirits, and they were poached to make alchemy?

   The fact that Yunxuezong is the lair of evil spirits is considered a good tradition?

   What Elder Xue couldn't accept was that some of the information she received seemed to confirm Ji Que's conjecture.

That is, Zhao Lianyue, the first patriarch, stayed in the sect, and there is a record of his life in the dossier - "When the patriarch Shouyuan was approaching, he once said, 'May the next life become a koi, and protect the sect for thousands of generations.', then left and buried his body in the snow mountain In between, future generations will not see."

   It can be seen that Zhao Lianyue was not talking nonsense when he was dying. He really wanted to be a fish, or he was originally a carp spirit, and finally wanted to return to the waters.

  Naturally, his body was not buried in the snow-capped mountains, but in the water below.

   After Ji Que finished speaking, he noticed that Ning Hongyu had been staring at him, and said, "Why, Shangfeng, do you disagree with my statement?"

  Ning Hongyu shook his head.

   "Then why are you looking at me like that?"

   "You look handsome, don't you?" Ning Hongyu said confidently.

   "Of course there is no problem." Ji Que replied confidently.

  Actually, Ning Hongyu's reasons were not complete. She stared at Ji Que. His appearance was only part of the reason, a small reason, but the bigger reason was that she thought Ji Que was quite smart.

  In this incident in Yunxuezong, she was able to draw an outline of right and wrong, but she was not as organized and imaginative as Ji Que.

   Well, for Ji Que, watching a few more episodes of "Conan" and "Di Renjie" in the previous life is still somewhat useful.

   You know, at the beginning he was really immersed in "There is only one truth." and "Yuan Fang, what do you think?"

   At this moment, a whale-like cry sounded, and the four of them were startled.

  I saw a carp as big as a boat swimming past in the water below.

  Ning Hongyu said: "It's an illusion."

  Elder Xue couldn't help but said: "Before then"

  Ning Hongyu said: "I always thought that this illusion was created by Chen Hanshi, and he really has this ability. Looking at it now, it should be caused by the dead body below."

  Compared with humans, spirits are more likely to die without being stiff, and even after death they still retain some instincts from life.

  Obviously, this carp spirit should be very good at this kind of "magic-making" ability.

  The so-called "He is coming out!" by Senior Fang Sihai, is it because he saw a similar illusion?

  The underground water area is very wide. From Chen Hanshi's secret room to the spring at the bottom of the lake, and then here, it is almost connected. If not, it is connected to the well in the ancestral land, but the entrance is relatively secret.

  Chen Hanshi, also known as Gu Xin, has been eating the elixir made from Zhao Lianyue's flesh and blood, so it is reasonable to gradually master this ability.

  Finally, several people discussed and decided to clean up these things, especially the deepest body of Zhao Lianyue, which must be burned clean.

   As long as all these secrets are dealt with, Yun Xuezong will still be a decent and good sect.

   In other words, from today onwards, it will be a good sect with justifiable name.

  Even though this sect was founded by a carp spirit, and even an evil person like Gu Xin has ruled the sect for a long time, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu can tell that this sect is still very human.

  Whether it's Elder Xue, Elder Wang, or this old concierge Luo, they all have a sense of chivalry.

   Just to deal with the things below, enough thunder and fire are needed, especially the corpse in the deepest part, so it needs to be handled more cautiously, so Ning Hongyu decided to ask someone to bring things over.

  It was dusk when the four of them came out of the water.

  The clouds in the sky were bright red, as if they had been ignited.

They entered Chen Hanshi's secret room in the morning, and it took only one day to come out now, but in the perception of the four people, this period of time is undoubtedly long, as if several months have passed, even several years.

  They are like four who accidentally fell into the river of time for thousands of years.

  This river is full of dark stories, which make people feel palpitating.

  It is this palpitation that makes them more and more aware of the beauty of returning to the earth and the world.

  While walking on the road, Ji Que suddenly thought of a rather weird point.

   That is Gu Xin has always had a rare desire and confidence in becoming a fairy.

   Logically speaking, if she only knew Zhao Lianyue's secret, then he should be pursuing longevity, not immortality.

  Because even Zhao Lianyue himself did not ascend in the daylight in the end, why did he think he could.

  Especially later he said, "The method of becoming a fairy was told to me by the old man in the sky, and I will surely become a fairy."

  Is there really such a Laojun in the sky?

  When Ji Que told Ning Hongyu his thoughts, Ning Hongyu pondered: "Based on your inference, Zhao Lianyue is that carp spirit, which has always possessed the ability to 'magic', even after death.

   And Chen Hanshi may be 'poisoned' by eating the elixir refined from its flesh and blood for a long time.

In this case, his imagination will become very real, that is to say, if he imagines something, he will think it is real, and he imagines an old gentleman, and this old gentleman is natural to him. It's also true. "

   This is undoubtedly a very good explanation.

  Everything seemed to have an answer, and Ji Que relaxed a lot.

  At this time, he suddenly smelled a strong fragrance, and said, "What kind of smell? It seems to be porridge. How can there be such fragrant porridge in this Yunxue Sect?"

  Ning Hongyu said: "This smell is Laba porridge. Although the food here is light, the Laba porridge is similar to outside."

  Ji Que was surprised and said: "Ah, it's all Laba, isn't it the Chinese New Year soon?"

  Ning Hongyu ignored him because it was nonsense.

  Ji Que looked at the plump curve of her chest, and couldn't help but think of a very serious question, and said, "Shangfeng, can you change your Adam's apple through disguise?"

   "Huh?" Ning Hongyu looked at him in confusion.

  Ji Que explained: "It's the kind of woman who is originally a woman, but can have an extra Adam's apple like a man, can eat and speak without problems, and is also agile."

  Yes, in his heart, he suddenly had some guesses about a person.

  Ning Hongyu looked at him with one eye and said, "Why do you ask this?"

   "I'm curious and want to learn. After all, for this kind of job, the more professional the better." Ji Que said seriously.

   "You asked me about my Adam's apple, why do you keep looking at me?" Ning Hongyu folded his hands on his chest and said indifferently.

  Her posture is even more magnificent there.

  Ji Que quickly looked away, denying, "How can I?"

   "If you lie, the promised reward will be one thousand taels less."

  Ji Que grabbed Ning Hongyu's lapel, almost lifted her up, and exclaimed, "What, one thousand taels!"

   After a while, he stopped moving.

  Because not far away, the Yun Xuezong disciples who had just come out of the dining hall in twos and threes cast surprised glances after hearing his roar.

   This seems to be a bit of a violation of the standard of being too eye-catching for spies.

  Ning Hongyu let him carry it like this, still looking at him with one left eye, with a cold expression on his face.

  For a moment, when he mentioned Ning Hongyu, he froze there. In the eyes of those Yunxue Sect disciples, it was as beautiful as a painting
