The old events of that year reappeared in his mind, and Master Tianyang lowered his head in guilt: "Nan Xiao, Master knows that I did something wrong back then. You...can you forgive Master?"
"Forgive? Hahaha... Back then, you ignored the dissuasion of my senior brother and me and insisted on going your own way, causing the two of us to be surrounded by monsters hundreds of times our size. Do you know how desperate we were at that time? Can you Do you know how much humiliation we suffered at that time?" The ghost of today, the Zhao Nanxiao of that year closed his eyes in pain. Memories that have been sealed for a long time emerge in front of my eyes little by little.
"I know, I know." Master Tianyang murmured to himself, and wanted to go over and hug Zhao Nanxiao, but before he could move, he saw Zhao Nanxiao suddenly glared at him fiercely, so he had to stop.
"Nan Xiao, Master, I have not been feeling well these past few years. Every time when no one is around at night, I feel regretful thinking that you died because of me. Can you tell me how you escaped from the hands of the monsters in Yaowei Hall? Run away, where have you been hiding all these years? Why...why didn't you return to the master?" Master Tianyang could feel that Zhao Nanxiao's malice towards him seemed to have weakened a bit because the memories were brought back.
Considering that he clearly died at the hands of a spirit, who was he to save him? In addition, Master Taier, Shangguan Xixi and others have long suspected that Qingniu Jing and Longtian Clover are controlled by the men in black.
Moreover, Lei Changqing also said that the demon heart should be someone Lei Feng'er knew, and he must also be controlled by the man in black. It can be judged from this that ghost shadows are no exception. As long as we can extract the truth from his mouth, we can see through the identity of the old man in black.
Master Tianyang also thought that in addition to Guiying and Moxin, there were two men in black whose identities had not been exposed. However, the man in black named Demon Ling, who was able to use the poison barrier of the Dan Demon to his own advantage, must have another identity. The remaining man in black...maybe it is his second disciple Du Siyuan!
Under Zhao Nanxiao's seemingly spiteful expression, his consciousness, which had been suppressed deep in the spiritual platform by the animal-faced old man in black, gradually broke through the seal. Even his attitude towards Master Tianyang also changed a little bit unconsciously.
"Back then..." Zhao Nanxiao's vague memories were gradually awakened in his mind, and he said slowly: "Back then, before my senior brother and I found the place where you told us about our master's death, we were discovered by the spirits in the Demon Underworld Palace."
"However, they did not stop us immediately. Instead, they sent some spirits with advanced cultivation to follow us quietly, wanting to see what we were going to do."
"It wasn't until three days later that the King of the North Pluto suddenly came out of seclusion. After learning the whereabouts of the two of us, he tried his best to kill us against all odds. In an instant, the monsters from the Demon Hades Palace came out in full force and surrounded the two of us. Although We have the Immortal-Slaying Sword and the Spirit-Blending Pearl to defend ourselves, but my senior brother and I are too weak in cultivation to be able to exert one-tenth of the power of these two immortal treasures!"
"In just a quarter of an hour, the two of us suffered countless attacks, supporting each other and leaning together."
Thinking of the two people's helpless situation back then, Zhao Nanxiao's face showed pain again.
"What happened next?" Master Tianyang asked: "Who saved you? He...who is he!"
"Who saved us?" When talking about the key point, Zhao Nanxiao suddenly looked confused, and a vague figure appeared in front of his eyes. He waved his hand in front of his eyes, trying to dispel the blocking fog, but found that it couldn't be dispelled.
"Nan Xiao, don't be anxious. Think slowly and watch slowly. Master will wait until you remember." Although Master Tianyang was anxious, he did not dare to press too hard. He was afraid that if he was pushed too hard, Zhao Nanxiao would feel resentful towards him again just like before.
"I clearly...know who he is, why can't I remember him?"
Outside Jiuhua Mountain, the old man with an animal face and black clothes had a gloomy expression, and even the old man with a ghost face and black clothes had a gloomy face: "Your soul-catching technique has made many mistakes. First it was the devil's heart, and now it's the ghost shadow. I think it's better to separate the four of them. Get rid of them all. In the future, your identity and mine will be exposed because of them."
In the hand of the old man in black clothes with an animal face, he holds a small spiritual body. Judging from its appearance, it is exactly the same as Zhao Nanxiao. While using his own spiritual energy to firmly suppress his original consciousness, he said: "Back then, when I took advantage of Yang Luchan to escape from Linjue Temple, I killed him halfway. Although I took advantage of his unpreparedness, I obtained the first volume of Demonic Techniques. Law. But before he could remember everything inside, he took it back."
"So, I only memorized some of the methods of using the soul-obsessing technique, but I couldn't integrate them all. I thought that although I didn't learn this technique completely, I could still control a few people with low cultivation level. But I didn't expect it. , After all, the incomplete Kung Fu is incomplete and cannot completely eliminate the original consciousness. Once you meet familiar people and are recalled by them, it is possible to break free of the seal!"
If Mu Jingyu was nearby and heard the conversation between the two, he would be able to combine the details he learned from the Xuzi Lingzhu and have a way to track down the whereabouts of the demonic skills that Hall Master Yang had hidden back then.
But, who is Yang Luchan, and how come the demonic skills that Hall Master Yang stole are in his hands. It is still a mystery how the two old men in black took possession of the demonic skills as their own.
"So that's it." The ghost-faced old man in black only knew that the animal-faced old man in black knew the art of soul-stirring, but he didn't know that he had not fully mastered it: "But...the devil's mind and the ghost's original consciousness have become loose. Can you always follow the signs and control them in time?"
"Just take it one step at a time." Under the control of the old man in black clothes with a beast face, Zhao Nanxiao's instinct in his hand was suppressed again. That's why he clearly saw the person in front of him, but couldn't see his true appearance clearly.
"However, this is fine. Master Tianyang is no longer wary of Zhao Nanxiao. No matter what Zhao Nanxiao says, who rescued them back then, Master Tianyang will not be suspicious."
The ghost-faced old man in black said: "Do you want to...continue to use Qingniu Jing and Long Tianxiao?"
"What else?" The old man in black clothes with an animal face smiled and said: "According to our plan, we originally used Qingniu Jing and Longtian Clover to let Mu Jingyu fight with them. But you see, now Mu Jingyu and them are relieved Misunderstanding, Master Tongxuan is still missing. It’s better to convince Master Tianyang that they are the real men in black. No matter what happens in the future, we will have a way to deal with it."
"Well... that's good." The ghost-faced old man in black nodded and said: "The ghost shadow has been controlled by you for more than ten years, and the demon heart has been controlled by you for more than twenty years. Even the two of them have awakened their original consciousness. Signs, let alone Qingniu Jing and Long Tianlu? As long as Master Tianyang thinks that these two people are real men in black, it will be an extra layer of protection."
The ghost-faced old man in black agreed to his plan, but after a second thought he said: "Didn't you just say that you would use four people to disperse the factions and absorb the spiritual energy of some strong men? What if Tianyang Zhenren misunderstood the Qingniu Jing? If Helong Tianxiao is us, how can you kill him?"
"What's so difficult about this?" said the old man in black clothes with an animal face: "The ghost shadow is still nearby, and it can leave some useful clues when the others arrive. When the time comes, I will take away Master Tianyang's spiritual energy. , and also made them think that Qingniu Jing and Longtian Clover were the masterminds behind the scenes!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful!" The ghost-faced old man in black clapped his hands and said with a smile: "This two-birds-with-one-stone plan will not only drive a wedge between Mu Jingyu and various factions again, but also leave a back-up!"
After praising him, the ghost-faced old man in black followed up and said: "Zhenren Tianyang's cultivation level is not low. Although he suffered a lot in the Jiuli tribe, after several months of seclusion, he has almost returned to normal. You are sure , use the ghost to kill him? Or do you need you and me to take action? "
"It's just Tianyang Daoist, there's no need for us to take action." The old man in black clothes with an animal face said, waving his hand behind him, and the fifth man in black suddenly appeared: "It's enough for him to take action!"
"Him?" The ghost-faced old man in black frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid that Master Tianyang will wake up his memory? Don't forget, even ghosts have the ability to break through the seal and devour his soul... Do you know how?"
"Don't worry." The old man in black clothes with an animal face said extremely confidently: "If Soul Devourer takes action, Master Tianyang will definitely die! Will I still be stupid enough to give him a chance?"
The ghost-faced old man in black said, "Don't be careless."
The old man in black clothes with an animal face waved to the fifth man in black. The latter disappeared silently from the eyes of the two people without saying a word: "His resentment towards Master Tianyang is thousands of times deeper than that of Zhao Nanxiao. A hundred times! Even if Master Tianyang wants to bring back his memories, he will still be deeply resentful!"
As the animal-faced old man in black put the original knowledge of Zhao Nanxiao into his sleeve, the fog in front of the latter quickly dissipated. The originally vague appearance slowly turned into that of Long Tianlu.
Seeing Zhao Nanxiao's brows relax, Master Tianyang knew that he must have remembered that man's appearance, and quickly asked: "Nanxiao, have you...remembered who he is?"
"Long Tianlu! The person who rescued my senior brother and me from the monsters was none other than Long Tianlu, the head of the three elders of Yaoming Palace!"
"What!" Master Tianyang was stunned and shouted in disbelief: "How can it be Long Tianlu? It's impossible! It's impossible!"
In fact, when Zhao Nanxiao was deep in thought, Master Tianyang had already guessed that the one who saved their two brothers must be King Bei Pluto.
The reason? It's very simple. Although Dan Mo, Tiger King and others were about to reveal the identity of the old man in black clothes with a beast face, North Pluto suddenly appeared, but they still could not completely believe it.
In addition, Zhao Nanxiao and Du Siyuan were surrounded in Yaoming Palace. Apart from Bei Pluto, will there be anyone else who has the ability to rescue the two of them?
Therefore, when Zhao Nanxiao finally said that it was Long Tianxiao who rescued them, Master Tianyang was extremely surprised and in disbelief!
Because, if what Zhao Nanxiao said was true, wouldn't it prove that Qingniu Jing and Long Tianxiao were not controlled by the men in black? Doesn't it prove that they are the real men in black?
Thinking further, when Qing Niu Jing and Long Tian Clover appear, will Mu Jingyu turn his sword hilts towards each other because they are men in black? Maybe... maybe he will help the two of them, and in turn deal with the righteous factions!
Master Tianyang asked: "Nan Xiao, think about it carefully! That person... is really Long Tianxiao? Could it be that you remembered it wrong and there is someone else?"
"I remember correctly!" Because of Zhao Nanxiao's original knowledge, he was pushed back by the old man in black clothes with a beast face, and his memory was also changed. He said with certainty: "At that time, the North Pluto led many spirits to kill me. We surrounded us with my senior brothers. Seeing that it was difficult to escape, Elder Long transformed into a man in black, took action to repel many powerful enemies, and escaped with us."
Master Tianyang still couldn't believe it, but Zhao Nanxiao's expression didn't look like he was lying. After thinking for a moment, Master Tianyang decided to continue to guide him and tell him what happened next, so that he might be able to judge whether what he said was true or false.
"Nan Xiao, Long Tianxiao's cultivation level was not high at that time. How could he rescue you two from among the many spirits? Even if he could do it, where would he hide you later? Also, your senior brother Du Siyuan ...were you also rescued by Long Tianxiao? If that was the case, how could Bei Pluto declare to the outside world that you had died in their hands?"
Although the old man in black clothes with an animal face changed the appearance in Zhao Nanxiao's memory, he did not erase his subsequent experiences.
As Zhao Nanxiao's memory became clearer, his speaking speed also increased, telling Master Tianyang how they were rescued by Long Tianxiao, where they were hiding, and how Bei Pluto concluded that the two were dead. .
