In this Rainstorm Villa, there are at least three parties.
Taoist Heming was naturally one of them. He took away Browning and hid here.
The other branch is the actual controller of the abandoned city, the real ruler of the old days who walks the earth, and the living god.
The last party is the existence that Taoist Heming needs to use the paintings of the ancient capital and the power of another old ruler to suppress it.
"What do you want?"
Shia asked.
Trading with a being who has lost his human identity sounds crazy, but as the Chosen One, sometimes crazy decisions are the right ones.
"My legacy is hidden in this Rainstorm Villa."
Browning said generously.
"I told you before that I once had a confrontation with the gods walking in the ruined city. At that time, I also tried to transform my body and approach the gods with a strong body. Unfortunately, I failed. That's why I failed.
, I just left some legacy.”
"Are you referring to the matter of ascension and tribulation?"
Xiya has been living in a foreign land for so long, so she is naturally familiar with the experiences of Taoist Heming. She has heard the story of him sitting under a big tree, being struck by lightning, and then overcoming a calamity and ascending to the sky dozens of times.
"That's right."
Browning nodded, as if he was not surprised that Sia knew about this.
"So, is that thunder really struck by the old ruler here?"
Lu Tan asked blurtly.
This heavenly punishment is really a heavenly punishment.
It was probably when Taoist Heming was preparing to go a step further and sublimate himself that the boss of the abandoned city took the opportunity and directly fired a thunderbolt from the sky, crushing Taoist Heming's body and causing him to change now.
Like this.
Previously, Lu Tan had always thought that Taoist Heming gave up his body in order to reduce his own pollution. Now it seems that he has quite a hard reason for doing so.
"Ahem, actually, I had expected it."
Taoist Heming maintained his elegance and said.
"I realized at that time that the more skilled I am at tempering my body and the more I want to physically resist everything, the more I will feel the limits of flesh and blood."
"What on earth do you want to say?"
Shia couldn't help but ask.
"He means that he no longer behaves as a human being."
Lu Tan helped answer.
"...I was already ready to give up my body, but that guy accelerated the process."
Taoist Heming was silent for a moment before changing the topic that was about to be diverted by Lu Tan.
"It was precisely because of that thunder that while I was strongly polluted, I also spied on some taboo knowledge, and was able to turn myself into concepts and preserve them in the world. And that guy must have been aware of this, so he
The entire abandoned capital is suppressing my sect and disciples, trying to erase my name from this world."
"As for the corpse that was struck by lightning and was the most contaminated, it became my biggest problem."
After hearing Taoist Heming's words, Lu Jian finally figured out the goals of these three parties.
Taoist Heming wants to solve the problem of his own corpse. This corpse carries a lot of pollution and has a close relationship with himself. It may affect him under the influence of some old rulers. For example, if the remains are revived through some kind of will,
Then he will compete with him for the title of "Taoist Heming", which will weaken his own concept. Therefore, completely solving the problem of the remains is the biggest goal of Taoist Heming.
Gu Yan
Before that, Taoist Heming, in the identity of Browning, used the power of other old rulers to suppress the relics. However, with Browning's weakness and some unexpected situations, he had to find a way to break the situation.
As for the big boss in the ruined city, the Old One who walks the earth, his goal is to completely annihilate Taoist Heming, cut off his path to becoming a being like the Old One, and avoid future troubles forever.
In the end, the one who was suppressed and wanted to cause trouble was the remains of Taoist Heming himself.
"You want us to crush your bones and dispose of the remains directly?"
Lu Jian asked.
"...My remains were affected by the old ruler. I only need an opportunity to try to replace me. The deal I want to make with you is to guarantee your lives and give you some special things." At the price of knowledge, please destroy my remains."
Taoist Heming said.
"It means the same thing."
Lu Jian briefly summarizes.
"But why should we help you?"
Shia has no good impression of Taoist Heming, and the benefits of helping him are unpredictable. On the contrary, she may offend the old ruler of the abandoned city. He is a real boss, and one look at him will make people crazy.
"Soul-calling is a ritual. When the soul-calling night comes, [Taoist Heming] will revive. At that time, you witnesses will be devoured by my remains and become your own strength."
Taoist Heming replied, he paused, and then continued to speak.
"In addition, I don't know how well you understand those monsters. Those monsters made of silt originate from the dependents of an old ruler. Their master is in a seal, and the dependents were taken by the one who abandoned the city. The purpose of conducting experiments is to develop a more powerful race, or in other words, he is trying to use other methods to approach some supreme existence."
"When I tried to summon these creatures, I thought that was the answer, but after turning myself into that, I realized that it was just a trap."
"You transformed yourself into that sludge monster?"
"It seems you know a lot about it."
Taoist Heming nodded.
"Yes, that thing will swallow human consciousness and eventually disguise itself as a human. I saw through this and controlled it in turn. I succeeded, but even this was anticipated by the other party. In the end, I fell short. My remains, He is a sludge monster with a personality similar to mine."
"and......"
Taoist Heming glanced at the black and white photo of Browning's death.
"I live here, but I can't find any trace of it. I can only feel that it is reviving little by little. After I failed to suppress it with the power of another old ruler, I thought of this and faked my death to seduce it. The other party appeared, and I even found him, disguised as that miserable speculator, and was easily killed by me, but I knew very well that he still existed."
"Did you kill Gothe?"
Shia asked back.
"Yes, it's easy to kill him. I just need to control his body and choose death. It tried to hide itself, but in the face of life and death, it was eventually exposed."
Taoist Heming explained.
Lu Tiao suddenly understood the reason why this Rainstorm Villa amplified human emotions, caused many people to hallucinate, and even prepared to kill themselves. I am afraid that Taoist Heming was at work, trying to find the disguised relic.
However, Lu Tiao soon discovered something.
"Wait a minute, brother, you said you controlled his body and killed yourself, then how did you deal with his internal organs?"
Hearing Lu Jian's words, the expression on Taoist Heming's face froze slightly.
