Halfway through the journey, Tao Zi finally asked: "Periphery or interior?"
Cheng Wuchou sat across from her and poured her a cup of tea: "Inside."
When she heard this answer, she said with interest: "I've never been inside, and I don't know what it's like."
He joked: "It's completely opposite to the outside. It's bright. If you want to sleep, you have to put a black bag on your head, otherwise you won't feel that way."
Tao Zi took a sip of tea and continued: "As a reward, can you tell me why you went there?"
Cheng Wuchou replied: "Of course, but would you mind listening to a story?"
She smiled and made a gesture of invitation and said, "I don't mind. I'm looking forward to it. I especially love listening to stories."
He said half-jokingly: "First of all, you have to keep it a secret. This is the secret of our Cheng family."
Tao Zi became interested and asked, "Can you tell the secret to me, an outsider?"
"Sir said that there is no need to hide these things from you."
"All ears, please."
Cheng Wuchou took a sip of tea and then said slowly: "Tens of thousands of years ago, monsters were rampant and their strength overwhelmed the human race. The immortal cultivators in the human race were exhausted from dealing with the monsters and no longer had any energy left to help those who were trapped in the hands of the monsters or They were mortals from other demon types. At that time, a type of human race hovering between mortals and immortal cultivators took action. Tao Zi, guess who they are?"
Tao Zi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Could it be a mortal monk or a Taoist priest?"
"Correct answer!" His smile deepened and he continued to ask, "Guess what method they took."
She thought for a long time and tentatively said: "I can only think of them risking their lives to save mortals."
Cheng Wuchou shook his head: "No, on the contrary, they exchanged mortal lives for an opportunity."
Tao Zi was stunned and looked up at him.
He took another sip of tea and said: "Five thousand mortals, 90% Taoist priests, and 60% monks will sacrifice themselves in exchange for the coming of the savior."
She opened her eyes suddenly, realizing the truth, and said: "You mean that His Majesty?"
"Yes, few people know that His Majesty came from another world." Cheng Wuchou said with a smile, "Tao Zi, I told you such a big secret, you have to keep it a secret."
It took Tao Zi a while to recover, and said: "It turns out that His Majesty has been responsible for saving the world from the beginning."
"Yes, he did a very good job. At least under his leadership, mortals have a place to breathe, and they have the confidence to look up to the immortal cultivators. Those who sacrificed did not die in vain." Cheng Wuchou seemed to want to say more. What, but I endured it in the end.
She continued to ask: "So, does this matter have anything to do with now?"
"Don't be anxious, the story is not over yet." Cheng Wuchou smiled and continued his tea, "During the final battle between the human race and the beast race, His Majesty used himself as a lure to lure the then Beast King out of the Wuzhi Forest, and used various methods to The agency controlled them and they died together."
Tao Zi immediately discovered a lot of doubts and said: "Isn't he the Beast King? Rumor has it that the Beast King is restrained by those monks and cannot participate in the battle."
He sneered, and the smile in his eyebrows was sarcastic: "History will always be revised by the winner."
"It's still wrong." Tao Zi looked at him and expressed his second doubt, "Your Majesty is an ordinary person, how can you control the Beast King with mechanisms?"
Cheng Wuchou looked at her with a smile and said: "Your Majesty came from another world with the blood of thousands of people on his body. However, he saved countless people and has great merits. His life is only in his own hands. God can't help it." Control. The Day Palace was built by him in conjunction with the few remaining Taoist priests of the year, and the most critical raw material is His Majesty’s fate and luck.”
"The Sun Palace is a palace in the Sunless Forest?"
"Yes." He said something that shocked Tao Zi, "That is equivalent to a different world, where heaven cannot interfere, and there is no aura. The so-called Beast King is just an ordinary giant monster there. Those agencies are enough to control it.”
Tao Zi was speechless for a long time, and Cheng Wuchou continued: "It's a pity that sooner or later this palace will reintegrate into this world, and the pressure of heaven will come again."
She opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. These things were too terrifying.
It was rare for him to see her like this, so he teased: "Do you know how to bring the palace back to this world?"
Tao Zi pressed her forehead and asked, "Do you think I will know?"
"That's true, let me tell you. As long as the Beast King disappears from this world, the strangeness of this palace will disappear. By then, I'm afraid it will be just another ruin."
She immediately grasped the key point: "The Beast King is still alive?"
"Of course, it is only one step away from ascending. Even if it has no spiritual energy, it will not die in tens of thousands of years. Tao Zi, maybe we can still meet it."
Tao Zi felt extremely complicated and said, "Cheng Zhenjun, this joke is not funny."
Cheng Wuchou finally became more serious and said: "Okay, don't worry, we won't face each other. We will only stay outside the palace, where the law of heaven cannot be controlled. We can find the true whereabouts of my sister through you. If nothing else happens, , and can also know whether she is alive or dead.”
She vaguely guessed the truth of the matter and said, "Is it because I am neither controlled by heaven nor am I a person from this world? I have the characteristics of both?"
"A more accurate statement is that the destiny set by Heaven for you has changed, and its control over you is far lower than its control over others."
After talking about so many miscellaneous things, Tao Zi finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
At this time, someone also knocked on the door and said: "Young Master, we have arrived at the Dayless Forest."
Cheng Wuchou stood up and said, "Let's go and see the Sun Palace."
Tao Zi stood up and walked out, and the familiar forest appeared in front of her.
The first step I took, I saw those familiar monsters, as timid as mice. As soon as they noticed the arrival of groups of powerful monks, they immediately left silently.
She followed Cheng Wuchou to the junction of day and night, and walked into this dayless interior that terrified countless people.
As soon as he stepped in, Tao Zi's eyes were almost blinded. The fan in Cheng Wuchou's hand blocked part of the light and sighed: "I have been here many times, but I still can't adapt immediately."
A monk who had been following them whispered: "Sir, in case the night is long and there are many dreams, it is better to reach the Day Palace as soon as possible."
Cheng Wuchou smiled and said, "Senior, please clear the way."
The monk cupped his hands, and the pressure suddenly appeared on his body, it was actually the Mahayana stage!
Tao Zi's heart was filled with turmoil, and she glanced at Cheng Wuchou calmly. He seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and said: "Sir, there are countless powerful people around him, but they will never be sent out unless it is important. Under normal circumstances, , I can’t call him, so I can only ask the master of Xujia Sect.”
Does this change the fact that he calls you "gongzi"?
