But unlike his Shu king ancestor, Zhu Qihan was discovered by a passing evil cultivator when he was still young. Then he took it away directly.
It was 1918, and Zhu Qihan was seven years old.
As for his parents and remaining siblings?
Evil cultivator...
Of course, his behavior was very evil and violent. They were just two farmers and a few ordinary children, and they were all killed casually.
After Zhu Qihan was taken away, the evil cultivator taught him how to practice and accepted him as his disciple - but there was no warmth between master and disciple at all, and he was more like a tool-like slave.
Not only do they often use him as a target to do some terrible magic research, but they also let him try out the effects of some rare poisonous medicinal herbs, etc...
Zhu Qihan was able to survive successfully because he had great destiny and the innate physique of [Xiantian Dao Boy] was really powerful.
As he grew older, Zhu Qihan's cultivation became stronger and stronger.
After all, he is extremely talented and can learn any magic technique quickly!
He was very scheming and deliberately hid his true strength in front of the evil cultivator - the evil cultivator felt that he was just a slave who had been kidnapped by him since he was a child and was not worthy of much attention at all.
Such contempt eventually became an important reason why he was killed by Zhu Qihan in a sneak attack!
In 1941, when Zhu Qihan was thirty years old.
He took advantage of his master's deep sleep to suddenly launch a sneak attack - before doing so, he secretly prepared many poisons.
In short, it was a fierce master-disciple fight.
Zhu Qihan fought hard to injure himself and killed the evil cultivator who had enslaved him for twenty-three years.
From now on, you are finally free!
He also changed his name to "Zhu Qihan" - in fact, his real name back then was Zhu Gou'er - in that war-torn family, a nickname was easy to make ends meet.
But a child from a poor farmer's family, who was abducted by evil cultivators at the age of seven and used as a tool slave... With such a growth experience, it is naturally impossible for him to become a normal-minded person.
Zhu Qihan killed his master, but after so many years, various behaviors and habits have been exposed to him. So he also became an evil cultivator who cares little about human life in troubled times!
As his cultivation level continued to improve, his status in the Xuanmen world became higher and higher, and he began to gather his own small force.
By chance, Zhu Qihan passed by the home where he lived when he was a child.
Although he was bullied by his brothers and sisters since he was a child, and his parents didn't have much time to spend with him just to fill their stomachs every day, so he didn't have any particular nostalgia for this place... but he still stayed there alone for one night.
But unexpectedly, he discovered that there was a secret cellar under the bed in his parents' room!
The cellar was not big, with a rotten wooden box inside.
It looks like it has been dusty for a long time...
Zhu Qihan opened it in confusion and found many books inside!
In addition to the various Four Books and Five Classics, there are also genealogies and so on.
He was shocked to discover that he was a descendant of the Shu branch of the Ming Dynasty royal family.
The wooden box in which these books were stored had not been opened for at least seventy or eighty years - he guessed that it was because of the continuous decline of his own tribe that he had become an illiterate peasant two or three generations ago!
I have no idea what is written here, but it is just kept in the cellar according to the ancestral instructions from generation to generation.
This news made Zhu Qihan, who had always had a low self-esteem deep down, instantly become arrogant.
I am a descendant of a branch of the Ming Dynasty royal family!
So, he brought back the entire box of books.
After studying it carefully every day, I discovered that hundreds of years ago, there was a generation of Shu kings who were born with the same innate physique as me! And he also has strong magic skills...
There are also some references to black taboo things. And the King of Shu also hopes that he can be resurrected!
However, it is indeed such a long time ago that the address of the tomb has been lost.
Based on the incomplete information in the book handed down from his ancestors, Zhu Qihan enlisted the help of several powerful Feng Shui masters, and finally found the tomb of the ancestor of the King of Shu who was also a [born Taoist boy] like himself.
In the tomb of King Shu, Zhu Qihan saw all kinds of miraculous things recorded in the murals in the tomb. Combined with the ancestral books, he also knew the truth of all the events back then.
So, he made a decision that went against his ancestors!
That is... not only did he not help the ancestor of the King of Shu, but he also wanted to destroy the opponent's various arrangements. By destroying and changing the talismans and incantations inside and outside the coffin, although the opponent can continue to transform into a zombie, he will no longer have thinking and wisdom after becoming a zombie.
Just like a common zombie!
Not only that, Zhu Qihan has already thought of a new big plan in his mind - he wants to get the magical black plant himself. Then gain stronger strength and cultivation through taking it.
As for the ancestor of King Shu lying in the coffin?
Fortunately, you can also contribute a Corpse Pill to your plan!
After all, Zhu Qihan himself is a mentally twisted, insidious evil cultivator, so how could he have any feelings for his ancestor who he didn't know who he was hundreds of years ago?
Using it as a tool, he has no psychological burden.
Thus, a long and huge plan to obtain black plants began!
And the subsequent series of things are already known from the perspectives of different people and what I have experienced myself.
It was nothing more than calling evil cultivators to gather near Lianghe Town, and at the same time bewitching the villagers of Daling Village to rob tombs, and then be infected by the fungus tree, turning into corpses to provide more vitality to the King of Shu zombies. He then obtained the Corpse Pill as a means to deal with the River God...
And all this is over.
The dust has settled.
After listening to Master's narration about Zhu Qihan and the King of Shu, I couldn't help but sigh a little as I fully understood the whole thing.
After a short moment of silence, I asked again.
"Master, what exactly is that black taboo thing? I think you should know more about the inside story than what you told in front of everyone in the coffin shop."
That's right!
The master nodded and said softly.
"Since Ah Zhong, you have already experienced so much and have eaten a piece of that leaf. I will tell you some more about the situation. In fact, I also gave a rough outline in the coffin shop before..."
"This kind of black taboo thing actually has a common name among the top experts in the Xuanmen world and the top leaders of various Buddhist and Taoist sects. It's called - black fantasy thing."
Black fantasy! ?
I was slightly startled.
This name also has a hint of inexplicable weirdness.
Master continued to talk...
The existence of black phantoms has actually been circulating in the Xuanmen world for thousands of years.
Of course, those who know this secret are some top powerful people, or some real dignitaries in the secular court.
There is no way to verify when exactly the mysterious black phantom began to appear, and who was the first person to obtain such a thing!
But many powerful practitioners speculate that the history of this thing...maybe even older than the history of the entire China...
According to the information that the master knows personally, the first person to obtain the mysterious black phantom was Dayu in history.
That's right!
It is the Dayu who led the tribe to control floods as learned in the history books.
In fact, he is an extremely powerful ancient practitioner!
It's normal to think about it. In that ancient and barbaric era...if he hadn't been extremely powerful, he wouldn't have been able to become the recognized leader of countless tribes, nor would he have been able to lead the tribe's ancestors to fight against the great flood.
According to ancient legends in the Xuanmen Jianghu, it is said that the mysterious black phantom obtained by Dayu was a huge black mineral.
Legend has it that this black mineral is very large and has all kinds of magical powers!
Dayu smelted it and made nine large black cauldrons - named Jiuding.
"Nine tripods! Yu made nine tripods."
I blurted out in surprise.
"It turns out that the original Jiuding was actually made of that black taboo thing?!"
The stories in history books are not only true. And there are secrets that ordinary people are even less aware of...
"That's right! It's the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu."
The master nodded and continued...
Dayu cast the Nine Tripods, relying on the power of the Nine Tripods and his prestige in controlling floods for many years. Finally succeeded in unifying the land of China and founded the Xia Dynasty. He has made achievements that are not weaker than those of the ancestors of Yan and Huang.
For thousands of years after Dayu, mysterious and black phantoms continued to appear in different places.
People gradually discovered that this magical black forbidden thing was not only minerals... but also plants. Plants are also divided into different types such as grass leaves, flowers, fruits, etc.
The strong men and powerful forces in the Xuanmen Jianghu also summarized a lot of information about this mysterious black fantasy object.
Different mysterious black phantoms have different effects.
But basically, all edible mysterious black phantoms can improve cultivation, increase energy, restore physical injuries, and prolong life. This is a commonality.
As for the different effects, it depends on what they are!
If divided according to the degree of rarity, the most common ones are black grass or leaves, the more precious ones are flowers and minerals, and the more precious ones are black fruits.
And black living creatures are the rarest and most precious!
But at the same time, it is also the only very dangerous type among all the mysterious black phantoms!
Because no matter it is black grass, flowers, fruits, or minerals, they do not have any harm or side effects.
Therefore, many practitioners commonly call it "Black Immortal Grass" and "Black Immortal Stone", which is understandable.
There are only those living black phantoms, which are very scary...
