Do you still need to ask this question?
My whole heart has been filled with curiosity.
I looked at Si Heng with surprise in my eyes, "Why?"
There's no way the seven brothers could kill each other. Was it Shuo Bai's fault?
Si Heng took a deep breath and looked forward with his dark eyes. His voice was cold, coming from the night sky.
"Because we offended a powerful person in the heavens. We were celebrating that night, toasting and drinking without any warning. By the time we realized something was wrong, we had all been under a spell.
We lose our minds and kill each other. For so many years, I have not found out who that powerful person in the heaven is, but I have found out why we offended him. Because of the devil's cave. "
I was shocked.
It’s related to the Demon Cave again!
Shuo Bai's misery began when he was tricked into unblocking the Demon Cave. Did the tragedy of the Changbai Seven Sons also begin here?
"Is it related to Shuo Bai's unsealing of the Demon Cave?" I asked tentatively.
Si Heng nodded.
I couldn’t understand and said in confusion, “Shuo Bai was the one who unsealed the Demon Cave, and he has already been punished accordingly. Why does the Heavenly Realm still punish you?
Except for Shuo Bai, each of the six of you is a leader in the Earth Immortal and a rising star in the family. You are of noble status, and it has nothing to do with you to unblock the Demon Cave. Could it be that just because the seven of you have a good relationship, the blame will be placed on you? This doesn't make sense. "
In ancient times, even the nine tribes were killed, and their relatives who were related by blood were also killed. I have never heard of prisoners sitting together and killing their friends. Of the seven Changbai sons, only Si Heng and Shuo Bai are brothers, while the other five are like-minded friends.
When Shuo Bai gets into trouble, it stands to reason that Si Heng will be implicated at most, but there is no reason for the other five to be implicated as well. The power of heaven persecutes the Seven Changbai Sons, this behavior is a bit strange.
"Yes, it doesn't make sense."
Si Heng retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes to look at me.
His dark eyes were cold, with a rare seriousness, "So, little Tangning, Shuo Bai didn't tell the truth about the matter of unsealing the Demon Cave."
I was shocked.
I didn't expect that this matter would turn back to Shuo Bai. When I opened my mouth, I subconsciously wanted to defend Shuo Bai.
As if he had read through my thoughts, Si Heng said first, "Little Tangning, each of our seven brothers met a disastrous end. If we really do something harmful to nature, I accept our fate. But I don't want to suffer the disaster for no reason! I want to Find out the reason and give us an explanation back then."
At this moment, I finally figured out the reason why Si Heng offered to join me in the first place.
Shuo Bai deceived him, and my father skinned him and cramped him, destroying his body. He will not avenge these vengeances. He voluntarily joined my Tangkou and became the Tangkou Immortal Family, just to have the closest contact with Shuo Bai and find an opportunity to find out what happened back then.
Regarding unsealing the Demon Cave, he felt that Shuo Bai had lied. And what Shuo Bai concealed was the reason why the seven brothers were persecuted!
There was silence all the way, as I thought over and over in my mind the information Si Heng told me.
After arriving home, Si Heng carried me back to the room.
He put me on the kang and said, "You feel weak all over because you have consumed too much energy by using power that does not belong to you. You will be fine after a few days of rest."
After saying that, Si Heng was leaving.
I quickly raised my hand to hold him.
Si Heng was stunned for a moment and looked back at me. He stood by the kang, raised his brow slightly, and returned to his usual cynical look.
"Little Tangning, are you reluctant to let me go? Call me good brother, and my good brother will stay with you. The kind of company that will warm your bed."
I was not in the mood to joke with him, so I lay on the kang, looked up at him, and said seriously, "Si Heng, there is something wrong with what you just told me.
If everything really started because of Shuo Bai's unsealing of the Demon Cave, and all six of you who have nothing to do with it are implicated like this, then Shuo Bai, as the person involved, will definitely be punished very severely. It was impossible for the heavenly powers to let him survive. "
Just because he played well with Shuo Bai, he was punished. It can be seen that Shuobai committed a serious crime and provoked the anger of the great powers in heaven. The Almighty of the Heaven Realm was so angry that he even attacked his friends. How could the Almighty of the Heaven Realm still allow Shuo Bai to live?
"Little Tangning, do you want to say that my investigation was wrong and that the murder of the Seventh Changbai Son has nothing to do with the unsealing of the Demon Cave?" Si Heng asked me.
I nodded.
These are basically two things. If you look at them separately, you won't find them strange. Forcibly connecting two things together will lead to many logical inconsistencies.
Si Heng gently raised his lower lip and smiled coldly, "Little Tangning, through my mother's relationship, I found the witnesses of the night when our accident happened. Before the curse broke out and we killed each other, the witnesses heard it with their own ears At the banquet, the Heavenly Power told us that this is the punishment for unsealing the Demon Cave.”
At the banquet?
I was stunned for a moment, "So that night, the powerful man from heaven who persecuted you was drinking with you?"
Si Heng nodded.
I suddenly felt even stranger, "Then why did you just say that you didn't find out who the Great Master of Heaven is? You were all drinking together, how come you didn't know who he was?"
"Because I forgot." Si Heng said, "I have no memory of that night, and the memory before that night is also blank."
I was startled and my eyes widened in astonishment.
Si Heng sat next to me, stretched out his hand, and picked up a strand of my hair with his long fingers.
The black hair was gently tangled around his fingers. He lowered his eyes and stared at the hair he was playing with, and said, "My body was destroyed because of Shuo Bai. I want to get his body and continue to practice."
During that time, Si Heng kept plotting against Shuo Bai and me. At the same time, he was also using Snake Mother's network to investigate the whereabouts of other brothers. Later, he did not find the other brothers, but he found the witnesses of that night.
After listening to the witness's description, Si Heng suddenly remembered that there was a memory that he had forgotten!
"In my memory, I just remember that we were celebrating that night, and everyone was very happy. I can feel that joy and excitement even now."
The emotions are all remembered, which shows that this incident is deeply remembered. But the strange thing is that Si Heng can't remember what they were celebrating that night. What are they so happy about?
After realizing these abnormalities, Si Heng began to recall the memories of that period bit by bit. Finally he came to the conclusion that he had lost a memory.
"I know it was Shuo Bai who unsealed the Demon Cave," Si Heng said. "I know this because everyone said so, but in my own memory, I don't remember this."
In other words, what Si Heng lost was the memory of the time when the Demon Cave was unsealed.
Now, Si Heng's lost memory, the truth about the persecution of Changbai's seven sons, and the things that Shuo Bai tried his best to cover up, are all related to the unblocking of the devil's cave.
As long as we figure out what happened during the time when the Demon Cave was unsealed, all these doubts can be solved.
Now I begin to believe what Si Heng said, Shuo Bai was lying.
Shuo Bai's mouth is too strict. Everyone thinks that the hero who re-sealed the Demon Cave is the priestess and Shuo Bai's father, but in fact, the hero is Shuo Bai's real master and snake father!
The Demon Cave was sealed again. Although Father Snake and Master Shuo Bai were exhausted, they both survived. It was the priestess who wanted to take the credit, so she killed these two people.
This was the truth, but Shuo Bai kept it secret.
Just like this incident, it is very likely that there is another hidden secret behind the unsealing of the Demon Cave, and the truth was hidden by Shuo Bai.
Thinking of this, I asked Si Heng, "Si Heng, are you sure Shuo Bai doesn't have amnesia like you?"
