Handu Tonglao didn't believe Lin Beichen's words at all. In his eyes, Lin Beichen at this moment was just a monster with a humanoid body. Who knows what his true appearance was like?
Maybe it has big eyes and long tentacles like an octopus. 33
Lin Beichen knew very well that once suspicion arises, it is difficult to eliminate it. It is obvious that Handu Tonglao has determined that he is an alien from the outside world.
Lin Beichen was too lazy to convince Handu Tonglao. He threatened in a sinister tone: "You are not allowed to mention this matter to anyone, otherwise you will stay here forever."
Handu Tonglao heard a glimmer of hope from Lin Beichen's words: "Can you really let me go?"
Lin Beichen said matter-of-factly: "When those ghosts lose interest in you, you can ask them, have many ghosts left this hell?"
"As long as you reform well here, the more pain and death you endure, the faster your sins will be washed away. Sooner or later you will be able to leave here and return to the outside world."
For a person, the cruelest thing in the world is despair and no hope.
Now that Lin Beichen has pointed out a clear path for him, all the pain and death, illuminated by this light of hope, have become a kind of practice, and even a progress bar for returning to the outside world.
"Elder Xu Qingqing and Elder Yan Huaizhen, how is their relationship?"
As soon as he mentioned the cold poison boy, his eyes shone, and he rubbed his hands and said, "Are you talking about cuckoldry? Elder Xu and Elder Yan have been separated for twenty years. Since Lin Nifeng's reincarnation, they have become a Taoist couple. They rarely appear together, and they attend some elders' gatherings separately and avoid them if they can. If you ask me, the relationship between the two of them is as close as a fight when they meet."
Lin Beichen wondered: "If that's the case, why don't they break up? Can Taoist couples only be able to walk together and not be separated?"
Handu Tonglao said hehe: "Two people become a Taoist couple, and they are bound by a marriage contract. If the marriage contract is not destroyed, there is no way for the Taoist couple to be broken up."
This was the first time Lin Beichen had heard of such a thing, and he was very curious: "A marriage certificate? Is there such a thing?"
Handu Tonglao explained: "The so-called marriage certificate is actually the oath that two people took when they became Taoist couples. It is engraved on a magic weapon. It can be a sword or jade. In short, it can be anything. Generally, it is strong and difficult to choose. Damaged things serve as carriers of marriage certificates.”
"The marriage certificate is usually placed with the woman, but their marriage certificate is kept in the hands of Elder Yan. In other words, as long as Elder Yan does not agree, there is no way to destroy the bond between the Taoist couple. It is precisely because of this that the two of them Although we haven’t seen each other for twenty years, we are still Taoist companions.”
"Is there such a restriction? What are the benefits of forming a Taoist couple?" Lin Beichen also became interested and asked.
"The souls and lives of Taoist couples are linked to each other. Although they do not share life and death, when one of them is frustrated, the other will feel it. If one party dies, the other party will also lose half of his life."
"Moreover, the Taoist couple's cultivation grows together. From the moment they form a Taoist couple, the Taoist couple with a high level of cultivation can only progress together after the Taoist couple with a low level of cultivation catches up with him, otherwise he will be stuck forever. In the current realm, until the Taoist couple with a low cultivation level is at the same level as him, so a pair of monks usually have to make a lot of determination to form a Taoist couple. Our Yunxiao Sword Sect only has eighteen pairs of Taoists. They are just lovers, most male and female monks just hang out and play together."
When talking about these private lives, Handu Tonglao became very happy.
This was the first time that Lin Beichen knew that a pair of monks had to pay so much to become a Taoist couple.
"It can also be seen from this that Xu Qingqing and Elder Yan Huaizhen were once true love."
Handu Tonglao shook his head disdainfully and said: "What true love? It's pure nonsense. I know this very well. Elder Xu and Elder Lin were childhood sweethearts. Elder Yan Huaizhen has always coveted Elder Xu's beauty and used a lot of Disgraceful methods, Elder Lin has an extremely hot temper, and when he learned about Elder Yan’s poaching, he went directly to the door and started a fight with Elder Yan Huaizhen.”
"As a result, both Elder Lin and Elder Yan Huaizhen were seriously injured. No one knew the outcome between the two. We only know that Elder Xu suddenly agreed to become a Taoist couple with Elder Yan, and Elder Yan's injuries quickly recovered. , and Elder Lin’s injury never got better, and he died of depression after a few years, which is why there was a theory of reincarnation and rebuilding.”
At this moment, Handu Tonglao has determined that Lin Beichen is not the reincarnation of Lin Nifeng at all, but an alien fairy from the outside world, so he does not have too many scruples when speaking.
Lin Beichen frowned: "Do you think Xu Qingqing really thinks that I am Lin Nifeng's reincarnation?"
Handu Tonglao tilted his head, thought for a moment and said, "That should be the case. She has no reason to think of you as Lin Nifeng!"
"unless……"
Lin Beichen looked up at Handu Tonglao: "Unless what?"
"Unless Elder Xu wants to use you to make Elder Yan angry, and use this method to make Elder Yan hand over the marriage certificate."
"Tell me carefully why you have such an idea." Lin Beichen felt that this was another new idea.
When the cold poison boy talked about this kind of gossip, his eyes immediately shone again: "Actually, this matter is very simple. The only obstacle between Elder Xu and Elder Yan is Elder Lin Nifeng. If Lin Nifeng dies or disappears, , then Elder Yan must think that there is still room for improvement in the relationship between him and Elder Xu, and perhaps it is precisely because of this that Elder Yan has never let go and firmly holds the marriage certificate in his hands."
"But what if Lin Nifeng reappears? That will inevitably put Elder Yan into a desperate situation."
"In this case, Elder Yan may do two things. One is to feel despair, completely give up on Elder Xu, and destroy the marriage contract."
"The other thing is to kill Lin Nifeng's reincarnation no matter what, so that Elder Xu can change his mind again."
Lin Beichen nodded repeatedly. This was the most reliable guess he had heard.
"In other words, I am a tool in Xu Qingqing's hands, used to attract Elder Yan's firepower. No wonder she lets me live outside her little cave. If I are really her lover who can't forget, knowing that There will be many people who are against me, so I have to find a way to protect me no matter what."
The more Lin Beichen thought about it, the more it made sense, and all his ideas suddenly opened up.
The conspiracy that was originally bottomless in his eyes suddenly became apparent.
This is simply a love entanglement between a man and a woman. What kind of conspiracy is this?
Lin Beichen felt that it was not worth getting involved in such a whirlpool.
Fortunately, he thought there was such a terrible secret behind it.
Some people died, but not completely...
