Cheng Siqing heard his friend say that he was helping him, and then thought about the immortality technique. He let go of his friend's collar dejectedly and fell to the ground.
My friend is right. Only by using the life of a son to extend his life and practice the art of immortality can he break the curse of the immortal cave and save the lives of the whole family.
Cheng Siqing couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster for him to find the Eternal Life Cave and the wealth.
Immortality is indeed a dream that everyone longs for, but having to kill one's own son and become the most despised eunuch in order to live forever is a bit daunting.
"Brother, I know you can't do it yourself, so I boldly made the choice for you!" said the friend.
Cheng Siqing's heart was very complicated, but as things had come to this, he could only accept it.
His youngest son was already dead, and he could no longer watch the whole family being cursed to death because of his indecision.
The friend pulled out the sharp knife stuck in the chest of Cheng Siqing's youngest son, turned around and handed it to Cheng Siqing's hand.
According to the saying in "The Art of Immortality", Cheng Siqing knew what he should do.
When he was hesitating, he had already memorized the method recorded above.
I don’t know whether it was because Cheng Siqing had been eating amethyst flower petals for a long time or because the immortality technique was too powerful and overbearing, but Cheng Siqing didn’t bleed much after the knife was applied.
Even the pain is not strong.
After a simple bandage with the help of his friends, Cheng Siqing resuscitated himself according to the method written in "The Art of Immortality".
"Brother Siqing, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not." The friend looked at Cheng Siqing and suddenly said again.
"The relationship between you and me is already closer than that of real brothers. If you have anything to say, just say it." Cheng Siqing replied.
"You are now sixty-eight years old. It is strange enough that you have always had a young face. Now you also have the art of immortality. A few years later, your children and grandchildren will die one by one, but you are still alive.
, you will definitely be regarded as a monster!" said my friend.
"What should we do if we see Brother Yi?" Cheng Siqing felt that what his friend said was reasonable.
"Brother Siqing can live with the identity of the boy just now. Your father and son look exactly the same, no one will find any clues." The friend said.
"The method is indeed a good one, but I'm worried that my wife and daughter-in-law will find out the truth of the matter as time goes by. By then..." Cheng Siqing hesitated.
"Actually, I can find some people to act with Brother Siqing in a play. As long as Brother Siqing is more ruthless, we can completely hide it from everyone. As for those who can't hide it..."
As the friend spoke, he raised his hand and wiped his neck.
"It's impossible!" Cheng Siqing shook his head repeatedly, "My wife and I have been in love for many years, and my daughter-in-law has done nothing wrong. How can I be so cruel!"
"If my brother is not cruel enough and is caught as a monster, it will be too late to regret it!"
The friend sighed quietly as he spoke, and then continued: "What's more, brother, I only have one son and two daughters, so I have no chance to practice the longevity technique using the method my brother used.
Among other methods, at least seven men and two seven women must be used to survive. With seven men, I can just find a few beggars to come back and kill them, but this woman is really hard to find.
If Brother Siqing agrees with my statement, it will help my brother and me solve an urgent problem. Only by living forever together can we keep this secret forever.
Otherwise, if only Brother Siqing achieves immortality, but I, the whole family, are cursed and die, how can I be willing to hide Brother Siqing's huge secret?"
This is the threat of Chi Guoguo.
Cheng Siqing looked at his friend's sinister but hypocritical face, and then he realized that he had fallen into his friend's trap.
The friend did not want to help Cheng Siqing.
He did this firstly because he wanted to hold Cheng Siqing's hand, and secondly, he was eyeing the lives of Cheng Siqing's wife and daughter-in-law, hoping to find someone who could extend his life and practice the art of immortality.
The friend sat in the chair and looked at Cheng Siqing with a smile.
He knew that Cheng Siqing couldn't refuse, so he could only do as he said.
So, that year, a tragedy occurred in Jiangzhou Prefecture.
Cheng Siqing, the richest man in Jiangzhou, was attacked by thieves on the night of his sixty-eighth birthday. Cheng Siqing and his wife were both killed by the bandits. Cheng Siqing's youngest son and daughter-in-law heard the commotion and rushed out. As a result, his daughter-in-law was killed by the thieves.
, the younger son narrowly escaped death and was injured by the thieves.
At the same time, seven servants and five maids were killed by the thieves, and some of the family's money was also robbed by the thieves.
After the Cheng family suffered great changes, except for the married daughter, the other ten sons split up and lived their own lives.
The youngest son Cheng Shixin never remarried because of his deep relationship with his first wife, and lived alone with a son and a daughter.
No one knew that Cheng Shixin was actually Cheng Siqing who died in the tragedy.
In the next twenty or thirty years, Cheng Siqing actually lived a very painful life.
Because he was not as ruthless as his friends, although he was forced to use his son's life to survive and practiced the art of immortality, he still lived with the guilt and pain of killing his wife and children.
The only thing that made Cheng Siqing feel relieved was that his vicious friend fell off the cliff on the way back and died tragically before he could practice the longevity technique.
Not long after his death, Cheng Siqing heard that his friend's family was just like another friend's family. The whole family died in an extremely strange way.
Cheng Siqing has no way of knowing whether his friend's death was due to a curse or an accident.
He sent people to explore the cliff where his friend's carriage fell down, and the people who came back told him that the carriage fell into pieces, and the driver and driver, as well as his friend, were all reduced to a pile of flesh, and even the whole body was reduced to a pulp.
A complete body cannot be pieced together.
From that moment on, Cheng Siqing became the only person in the world who could live forever, and no one knew his secret anymore.
In order for others to discover his secret again, Cheng Siqing threw the book "The Art of Immortality" into the sea.
The strange thing is that although the book is not afraid of water and fire, it sank immediately when it was thrown into the sea water.
Having said this, Cheng Siqing sighed and said: "If I could choose now, I would rather not enter that immortal cave. I don't want such immortality!"
I looked at Cheng Siqing and said, "The so-called immortality technique you call is actually just a black magic. In the true sense, immortality does not require one's life to continue."
Cheng Siqing looked at me with wide eyes, a little unbelievable.
"If I guess correctly, after you used your son's life to extend your life, you didn't live much longer. When your son's life is up, you will have to use your grandchildren's lives to extend your life, right?"
