"The Stranger (Huang Yuan)"
Listening to the other party's muttering, and looking at the handwriting made of pale firelight above his head, which seemed to be swaying in the wind, Li Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was really worried that he would go crazy and turn into a monster.
Huang Ying on the side looked shocked and looked at the big skeleton man in disbelief.
She seems to want to explore some truth, but when it is within reach, she is not so willing to accept it.
"Old senior, where did you get that rare treasure, and who told you how to use it?"
Li Chuan calmed down and asked.
"Who else could it be? It's the current emperor, Emperor Delong!"
After the skeleton man laughed uncontrollably, he suddenly stopped, his voice as cold as frost.
"really……"
Li Ao didn't feel too surprised.
"Hey, I was wrong back then. This little emperor is not simple."
The skeleton laughed eerily, either self-deprecating or sarcastic.
"Back then, I thought that everything was just an accident. This rare treasure suddenly appeared and was a gift from God. But I never thought that it was just that person's plan from beginning to end.
It’s also my fault that I was too pedantic back then, thinking that I would retreat from the rapids and become a rich man in the countryside after becoming an official, having fun with my grandchildren and enjoying my old age in peace, but I didn’t expect that he would not let us go..."
Li Fan listened to the other party's story and gradually understood the cause and effect of this matter.
It turned out that decades ago, the late emperor was seriously ill and unable to govern. Civil servants controlled the government. Officials headed by the cabinet took over the most important authority in the country, using the authority of the prime minister to override the authority of the monarch.
All this was seen by Emperor Delong at that time. He ascended the throne at the age of eight and was unable to change all this. He always showed the attitude of a young king who was respectful, courteous and governed.
But he didn't expect that this was a born emperor in the true sense.
He has realized the importance of the power of weirdness since he was more than ten years old. Taking advantage of the rise of weirdness at that time, he continued to use it to eradicate dissidents and regain power.
In just a few years, he has already gained great power.
It was when Delong was five years old that Huang Yuan accidentally obtained this "Skeleton Fantasy Picture" and learned that it contained the great secret of the cycle of life and death.
At that time, he was expected to enter the cabinet or even become the chief minister. He resolutely gave up power, withdrew from the circle of civilian officials, retired directly and returned to his hometown, and began to delve into the big secrets.
Many years later, he actually discovered some clues and successfully controlled this rare treasure.
But I didn't expect that all this was the beginning of a real nightmare.
He was trapped in the painting by a special power and could no longer escape. The fake death trick he originally played to deceive others also backfired and completely ruined his life.
Li Fan felt that he was not as innocent as he said, because the incident between him and Emperor Delong was more like a confrontation of power in the court. He only retreated to study "Skeleton Fantasy Picture", Master the power of immortality instead of coaxing grandchildren and enjoy your old age. ….
However, after talking about the causes of this incident and why there was another commotion decades later, Huang Yuan suddenly stopped talking.
"I'll just tell you what happened in the past. Anyway, it was all things that happened decades ago. There's no need to talk about what's happening now.
Emperor Delong probably would not have thought that after so many years of hard work and in-depth study, I have really mastered this rare treasure...
This one incident also shows that he was self-defeating and really let me master this big secret of immortality. "
"Do you fully control it?"
Li Ao thought to himself.
The thorough control the other party mentioned should be similar to perfect control.
When a stranger controls a strange treasure, he is essentially using his own spirit to communicate with the strange power.
, for indirect use.
In this process, the exotic treasures play a role in conditioning and isolating the strange, without direct contact with humans.
Otherwise, the mortal body would be unable to withstand the erosion of strange forces, and would continue to be polluted and worn out until it became possessed by evil.
In this process, the driving method and the level of personal control also determine their respective costs.
Different people have different bodies and minds, and various factors also affect the final result.
Regardless of other factors, the level of control can be divided into multiple levels from unfamiliarity to proficiency to proficiency.
The closer one is to perfect control, the less pollution and price they suffer every time they use their strange abilities, because a skilled alien can mobilize the strange power just right without leaking it very much.
And this often means that strangers will have the opportunity to correctly realize the strange power they possess and exhaust all kinds of rules and regulations.
Except for Li Chuan himself, other strangers have to explore and practice through various methods before they can gradually master their own weirdness.
They do not have the convenience of knowing the general characteristics from the moment they come up and being as proficient as if they have been mastering it for many years.
The old Hanlin has been studying for decades, and finally he has reached a level of near-perfect control, which can be said to be rare.
This is not to say that a person cannot only do one thing for his whole life. Civil servants like Huang Hanlin were elites who were selected from the imperial examinations, and their ability and temperament were one of a million.
But something like weirdness is not stable. For such a long period of time to allow him to develop, there must be some chance and coincidence involved.
"Then what's the purpose of the old-timer asking us to come and copy this ancient painting?"
Many thoughts flashed through Li Ao's heart, but in the end he decided not to think about so many things in the past, and to ask clearly about what was in front of him.
"Hehe." Huang Yuan laughed strangely, "I asked you to copy ancient paintings, of course I have my own intention, because as long as you can make it look like enough, I will be able to devote part of my energy to it. This means What are you doing? You should understand."
"You want to turn it into a derivative and have people take it out?"
"Yes, since you understand this, I don't need to waste any more words. I admit that I misjudged it before, and I was a little anxious. But now that the matter has come to this, I still want to ask you to help complete it. I promised you before I will never break my promise in return.”
"I'm afraid that this method of yours will cost a human life, otherwise you won't be able to sneak attack while I'm painting."
Li Fan smiled coldly.
Huang Yuan suddenly fell silent, and then said nonchalantly: "I still want you to paint. You weren't the one who planned the sneak attack from the beginning. Isn't there another person here?"
Huang Ying was horrified.
96.
