Lu Jinggang was quite excited when he saw Hanshanke come out of the peach.
The reason why he stayed tonight was because he didn't believe that Hanshanke died like this. After all, he wanted to restrain the expansion of the secret power, and this matter had to fall on Hanshanke.
Therefore, even though he had just witnessed Han Shanke's strange appearance, Lu Jing's excitement was still greater than his anger.
But as the excitement dissipated, he gradually returned to his senses.
Hanshanke obviously came well prepared tonight. He created such a big battle in the vegetable garden. The giant trees grew so fast and he cosplayed with Momotaro. It couldn't be just a whim. He must have gone through a long period of preparation. .
But in previous contacts, this guy showed no signs of this.
Whether in the eyes of Lu Jing or others, he was just an idiot obsessed with alchemy.
If there was no evil in his heart, there was no need for Hanshanke to keep pretending until now.
Later, everyone mistakenly thought that he was dead. The young marquis even erected a tombstone for him, but he himself quietly grew out of the tree.
And if you didn't see Han Shanke's transformation process, forget it. Now that you have seen it, Lu Jing can conclude that his so-called method of immortality is either related to strange objects or strange objects.
In comparison, Lu Jing still prefers the latter.
Although no one can tell exactly how many strange things there are in the academy because it is too old, but if there are existences that can bring the dead back to life and become immortal, it is impossible that no one knows about such powerful strange things. It was impossible for him to be thrown into the academy so hastily by some senior.
Before contacting Hanshanke, who was involved in the orthodoxy dispute, Dongxuan Zhenren, who had the same stance as him, those disciples all trained themselves into strange objects.
Lu Jing naturally had reason to suspect that Hanshanke saw no hope of immortality and finally chose this route to save the country.
And the most important point, Lu Jing raised his head and said to Hanshan Ke, "You can leave the academy now, right?"
Hanshanke was slightly surprised when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Lu Jing's reaction to be so quick.
He originally planned to continue using the poison recipe to trick Lu Jing, and it would be best if he could defeat the enemy without a fight, but when Lu Jing asked this question, Hanshanke knew that his plan tonight would not go so smoothly. .
But now there was no point in hiding it anymore, so he simply admitted, "Yes, the paper figures in Jinghu Valley are restricted by a strange thing. As long as we are alive, we cannot leave the academy, but, Now that I have died once, naturally I am no longer restricted by that thing.
"Speaking of which, I have lived in this valley for forty years. It's time to go out for a walk." Hanshanke said with emotion.
"But didn't you voluntarily enter this valley back then, and for this you gave up your throne and everything else you owned? Is there anything outside that can attract you now?"
"You don't understand," said Hanshanke, "it's because I lost it that I realized how precious those things are. When I was the emperor, because I ate delicacies from the mountains and seas every day and saw all the birds and birds, I felt that The delicacies and beauties are all indifferent, and they only think about eternal life.
"At that time, I was sitting in Kyushu and lacked everything. But when I thought about being reduced to loess a hundred years later, I felt that no matter how good my life was now, it would be meaningless.
"For this reason, I visited the immortal mountains all over, and I was even willing to eat the wind and drink the dew in order to worship the true immortal. At that time, I wholeheartedly felt that this was the life I wanted, and I was willing to suffer no matter how hard it was to gain immortality.
"That's why I begged the then Young Superintendent Si Tianjian to bring me here, but I regretted it a year after I came here. I found that I was wrong, and how wrong I was.
"Without the things I once had at my fingertips, I live a life of embarrassment and loneliness every day. No matter how long I live, what's the use? I'm like a bastard in the water. Even if I can live for thousands of years, I can still only live at the bottom of the river. Eat mud.
"So I turned around and begged the then Young Superintendent Si Tianjian to let me go back, but he told me that he had warned me before that there was no turning back when I fired my bow. Once I chose to fake my death and escape, I would be gone. It means completely giving up everything you own.
"Now that chair has a new owner, and Si Tianjian also promised not to interfere in the struggle for imperial power, so he will definitely not let me out. Besides, even if he agrees, with that weird thing here, He can't do it either.
"Hearing what he said, I immediately felt like the world was spinning. It wasn't until that moment that I realized how stupid I was before. For an illusory goal, I gave up something that no one could get in a lifetime. Now I am even more depressed. So much so that there is no freedom anymore.
"Every day in this hellish place is no different from being in jail, but just like that person warned me back then, I have already made a choice, so I can only grit my teeth and bear the consequences of this choice.
"I cried and made trouble, but it had no effect. I even thought about ending my life, but when things came to be, I couldn't bear to do it, so I could only live in such a muddle.
"Because every day was too empty, I had to pick up the alchemy skills that I had put aside because I lost patience, and started to continue to refine my elixir of immortality.
"No matter what, time always flies faster when you have something to do. Although I have never been able to refine the elixir that can really make people immortal after taking it, I have also made some good things by accident. Come.
"It's a pity that after my death, I don't know who will benefit from the pills I refined before." Hanshanke sighed casually, and then continued to talk about his original things.
"Although I no longer have such extravagant hopes for immortality, because I am so crazy about refining alchemy, I have left the impression of being obsessed with immortality in the eyes of others, especially after everyone who knows about me is dead. Everyone Everyone seems to think that I am a weirdo who only knows how to make alchemy and has nothing to do with the world."
"But I still can't forget my name and the past like most people in this valley. I have waited for a full forty years before I got this opportunity, so tonight is my chance anyway. I am leaving the academy. See if we can discuss it."
Hanshanke was as polite as ever, "I admit that because I have been busy with my own emergence, I have neglected your affairs a little bit, but as long as you don't stop me and give me some more time, I will definitely be able to get you." The poison elixir was refined.
