Chapter 42: The Empty Body
People who like to study history often find that real history is very different from common sense in people's impression. The so-called traditional dishes that are popular all over the city and are known as the representative of local food culture may have only a few decades of history. The diet that was truly a thousand years ago disappeared for a long time because the taste did not meet the needs of modern people. Some minorities that clearly divided the mainstream ethnic groups and believed in a certain religion have to recognize themselves as foreign ancestors, as if they have since become superior.
The history of the Shen family in the Jiuzhou era actually has a similar nature.
At that time, Chen Kaishan swept across Jiuzhou with his extremely powerful flesh and blood magical powers. People highly praised this kind of magical power that cannot be killed or crushed, and the cockroach attributes are even better than the demons. They were also very curious about the Shen family, who cultivated such a magical person. At that time, in order to highlight the ancestors, the Shen family dug out a group of historians from a grave, which fully demonstrated that the Shen family's attention to flesh and blood magical powers had a long history, and the flesh and blood magical powers similar to the immovable domineering body had long been passed down. Then, a village of flesh and blood magical powers was established to fully restore the cultural origin of the Shen family's emphasis on magical powers. Such business activities are endless and dazzling...
However, those who know the inside story know that before Shen Kaishan carried forward his own characteristics, the immovable domineering body and other heretic cults were always heretical cults within the Shen family. What truly has an important position is the exquisite work of similar to the emptiness and bright body.
The Shen family's immortal cultivation techniques have always been known for their exquisiteness and subtlety, and their delicateness is superb. Based on this characteristic, the status of women in the Shen family is often higher than that of men. More than 60% of the heads of the family were women and more than 70% were psychological women. It was not until Chen Kaishan came out of nowhere, and with the extremely high cultivation level in the late Paishan realm, the intelligence index of up to 2.3 and the androgens that broke through the limit swept all family traditions that the Shen family truly valued the flesh and blood magic powers.
Now that ten thousand years have passed, history seems to have entered a new cycle. Shen Ying, in front of Wang Jiu, has a unique emptiness and bright body, and a fully carefully designed set of matching techniques. While raising her hands and feet, she lifts her weight and gently converges the surging true energy fluctuations into her body, without revealing any part. Even if she is close to her, it makes people unable to see that she has the cultivation level of an immortal.
It is indeed very similar to the Shen family before Chen Kaishan appeared.
When Shen Ying heard Wang Jiudao's characteristics of breaking the Kongming body, he was a little surprised, but he didn't ask too much, but just took a few people into the room first.
Looking at the increasingly familiar room layout, Chen Qingming's expression changed several times, but he couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"
Shen Ying first apologized: "I'm sorry that it may cause you to misunderstand, but this is actually the original version. Aunt Yue'e lived here before, and every tree and grass was arranged by her. After she and her uncle left Shencheng, she purchased her own property in Qingyun City, and then renovated it according to Shencheng's habits, basically restoring the layout here. Even the ancient tree guarding the gate was transplanted from here."
Just when Shen Qingming was surprised by this history, Li Wanqing asked from the side: "It sounds like you are very familiar with Qingyun City. You know the layout of Chenyuan as you know it."
Shen Ying smiled and said, "Because it is the champion of Qingyun Competition, I have collected information carefully. When I saw that Sister Qingming actually lived in a house exactly the same as me, I was quite happy because I lost to my brother in the semi-finals when I participated in the Shencheng Competition, I was a little yearning for such champions."
"Lost to my brother in the semifinals, are you..."
Shen Ying nodded: "Well, I am Chen Qing's sister. I'm very happy to invite the first and second place in Qingyun Competition to visit my home."
Chen Qingming was a little embarrassed when she said: "That big competition champion is actually..."
Shen Ying said: "The hero behind the scenes should be Mr. Wang Jiu. I feel extraordinary as soon as I meet. I am really the only one who can see through the emptiness and bright body at a glance. If he is by your side, it is reasonable to help you win the championship in the competition. Of course, if Mr. Wang Jiu is happy to be by his side, there must be extraordinary things."
Li Chaolu was very dissatisfied: "It's extraordinary poverty. Humph, if I were as poor as her, maybe I would be the one who bought the White Sword at that time..."
Chen Qingming sneered: "You are a lady in the boudoir, I'm afraid you can't even find the door to the civilian market."
"Just, can you just spend money to find a few poor and naughty kids to lead the way?"
"...Your young lady thinking is a lack of social training. When those naughty kids lead you into a deserted path, you will know that it is amazing."
Li Chaoluqi said: "Why did they lead me to the unmanned path? What's so great?"
Chen Qingming suddenly blushed: "You actually pretend to be pure!"
"A person who is posing on the stage as an idol has the nerve to accuse others of pretending to be innocent?"
"Who's posing?"
Shen Ying smiled slightly, and did not interfere with the dispute between the Li family. Instead, she turned her head and explained to Li Wanqing: "I'm sorry for hiding my identity before, but on that occasion, it's really not convenient for me to invite you directly as Shen Ying, after all, it's not consistent with the family's established policy."
“Assince a policy?”
"Well, according to family education, when you see the Li family on the street, you should immediately spit in front of you. The more you spit, the better."
“…”
"Ahhhh, don't worry, spitting anywhere is too unhygienic. We won't really do that. At least I won't."
Hearing this, Li Wanqing felt thoughtful.
"You have a bad relationship with the family?"
Shen Ying smiled: "Actually, the relationship is quite good. My family has always taken good care of me. When I left the outer yard, my father bought it and gave it to me. Because it was urgent and the price was much higher than the market price, but he bought it without blinking. I was quite moved. My brother was obviously so popular in the family before, but if he wanted to buy something, his father always used the excuse of insufficient funds as an excuse to push the four obstacles."
“Since the relationship is very good, why live here alone?”
Shen Ying was helpless: "Because it was inconvenient. After my Yunfeng Realm was established, the true essence and Kongming body began to blend, the supernatural powers of Kongming body gradually appeared, so I had to make trouble in my life in the outer courtyard. Because my sense of existence was too weak, I was often treated as transparent people. When I walked towards me, I would bump into each other and I would be stepped on wherever I went. When I was eating, I was taken away by the person in front of me. There was also a man talking about my measurements openly! This feeling was really bad. The worst thing was when the instructor named me. I raised my hand many times in succession, but he still frowned and thought that I was absent, which was so angry!"
"..." Everyone couldn't help but look at them with pity.
Wang Jiu explained: "When a monk initially uses the fusion of true energy to activate the magical power of the Kongming Body, he will indeed have similar out-of-control phenomena. If others do not turn on their spiritual vision and observe it with their naked eyes, it is easy to ignore the Kongming Body. However, after this stage is passed and the magical powers are controllable, the situation will be much better."
Shen Ying said, "But I am used to being alone, so I took advantage of the graduation assessment of the outer school and took advantage of Kongmingti, and luckily graduated early and moved out to live. Okay, let's talk about this first, everyone must be wondering why I invited you to my house. Although I only invited one of you at the beginning, it's better to be able to attend all the staff. I want to help you."
"Help us?"
"Resolve the historical grievances between the two families." Shen Ying said, "You are here for this."
Wang Jiuying said: "That's true, but according to your family education, you should do everything possible to stop it."
Shen Ying smiled and said, "Just thank you for helping my father repair the Yinfrost Divine Sword. He is a man who has lost all his rationality when he mentions refining weapons. If you don't have your help, maybe he can really give my brother a blood sacrifice on the dark and windy night."
“…”
"And, when it comes to family education, maybe it's because I have been a child and I have never been able to actively integrate into the family atmosphere like other brothers and sisters. So many of the brainwashing education in the family has no effect on me. When others are incited by the instructors, I have always been the one who is watching coldly and can easily be stepped on. Over time, my thinking has become increasingly different from others. When others are shouting at the Li family, they are shouting and killing each other.
At that time, I felt that it was really stupid to be obsessed with the old grudges decades ago. Judging from the current situation in Xiangzhou, Qingyun City and Shencheng have neither conflicts of interest nor insolvable blood feuds. This kind of passionate hostility is really inexplicable. On the other hand, the two families actually have strong cooperation needs. As cities located in the southern border, if we want to compete with developed cities like Liantian City and Jinyu City, it should be an inevitable choice to join forces closely."
As he said that, Shen Ying took a sip of tea, saw that everyone in the Li family was listening carefully, nodded, and continued: "And, the Shen family now relies on historical inertia to maintain their hatred for the Li family. In fact, no one really hated the Li family. After all, when my uncle swept Shen City, many of us were not born yet, so there was no pain in our skin."
These words touched everyone in the Li family.
After so long I have been to Shencheng, there are very few people who are willing to cooperate with their kindness calmly. Even the envoys that represent the Li family, they can't even see the city lord Shen Ruoshi.
Li Wanqing asked, "How can you help us?"
Shen Ying said: "To be honest, it may be difficult to help directly. After all, I am just a junior who has just graduated from an outer school by chance. I am a little bit light. But I watched the family coldly for so many years, but I have made unique discoveries about many people and things in the family. I believe that it will definitely help you open up the situation."
Wang Jiu pondered, "What about?"
Shen Ying said: "For example, according to my observation, the instructor of the Shen family's outer courtyard has actually wanted to retire and return to his hometown to get married."
