The Underworld and the End of Reincarnation

After hearing his bizarre story, I took a deep breath, and the horror in my heart was simply indescribable.

To be honest, when I saw Han Sheng here, I already suspected that he didn't go deep into it for some reason, but I didn't expect that the reason was actually a monster.

I asked him: "Can't you even deal with me?"

Han Sheng shook his head and frowned: "It's not what you think. That monster is very strange. He seems to still have his own consciousness."

"What?" I opened my mouth in surprise.

All the human puppets we meet have lost their humanity. If one can still maintain self-awareness, what has he become? Isn't it a different kind of immortality?

Han Sheng said with doubt on his face: "I don't know why, but that monster seemed to know me. He didn't attack me immediately, but looked at me in a thoughtful way, and finally led me to a ruined building. , the original appearance of the building can no longer be seen, but it feels very ancient."

"Stop for a moment." I interrupted Han Sheng's story and asked: "You mean he knows you? But you have never been to Zhenling Terrace...ah"

I patted my head and said, "I understand. If you are sure that you have never been to Zhenlingtai, does that mean that the human puppet has seen you before he was alive? He is not from the Mirror World, and he entered later! Or! Said he recognized something on your body."

I asked Han Sheng: "Do you look similar when you were a child to what you look like now?"

"Huh?" He looked at me doubtfully.

"I want to say that if the other party is not from the Jing'er world, then he most likely followed that team more than 20 years ago. How old were you at the time? I'm thinking about how many years have passed. Whether the other party can still recognize you, on the contrary, I think the latter is more likely."

Han Sheng looked at me thoughtfully, "You mean..."

"That's right, the second master's gun! I think the other party may regard you as the second master. According to what you said, he is only slightly human, not a complete person. Plus, it is dark down there, I think there is a high probability that he There is no concept of time anymore."

The more I guessed, the bolder I became, and continued my analysis: "And what's left of that person is probably not consciousness, but a deep-rooted instinct. He lived with the second master day and night, so he remembers the second master's gun, seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, his instinct I'm helping you."

I leaned back in my chair and shrugged, "Of course all this is just conjecture and untenable."

Han Sheng stared at me. I felt uncomfortable when he looked at me, so I asked strangely: "Didn't I wash my face? What are you looking at?"

He suddenly smiled and said: "Second Master once said that it is rare to look at people's bones and not their skin. It is rarest to see the essence of things. Maybe you didn't realize it yourself. You are very talented in this area. You are worthy of it. The descendants of the immortals."

I was stunned by what he said, and he said: "You are right." As he said that, he slowly took out a bronze medal from his pocket and put it on the table.

I picked up the bronze medal and found that the pattern on it was exactly the same as what we had seen before. I couldn't help but ask, "This is it?"

He nodded and said: "Yes, it was brought up from below. I didn't understand it at first, but after you just said it, I completely understood it."

"After that man brought me into the building, there was nothing more to say. He just walked inside repeatedly. I thought it was weird at first. I searched the building and found many man-made traces. Those traces were not particularly old. According to your I guess it's correct that some of the people in that group went down there."

He held out three fingers and said: "But it's not just one person, at least three or more people, and they also built simple fortifications. It doesn't look like they are staying for a short time. It looks like they have lived for a long time. They are below What are you looking for? That building was the stronghold back then."

I said in surprise: "Is this the brand?"

Han Shen shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe they found the sign, or maybe they brought it with them. But one thing you said is right. That person has a deep obsession. He guided me into the ancient building. I discovered the bronze medal again, and it seems that he was thinking about this in his last conscious moments."

I knocked my nails unconsciously while digesting Han Sheng's description. In fact, I had another inference, but I didn't say it in front of him. I don't think he would believe it even if I told him.

The Second Master has also been to the Soul-Zhenling Platform, which can explain why Hansheng has a "flashback" familiarity with the Soul-Zhenling Platform. The Second Master must have told Hansheng everything about the Soul-Zhenling Platform when he was young, and even Perhaps through some kind of psychological suggestion similar to hypnosis, he was told to go down to the deepest level.

As for why, the reason is very simple. The second master knows what is below.

Back then, they entered the Soul-Zhenling Platform together, and a group of people entered the world of Jing'er, but the second master did not go down for some reason. He was the one we found who left the Soul-Zhenling Platform.

He promised that the people below him would go back, so the people below him waited hard in the world of Jing'er. Unfortunately, until he turned into a human puppet in the end, the second master never went back.

Only in this way can it be explained why the human puppet Han Sheng met was so familiar with Erye's gun, and why his last instinct was to take him deep into the building and find the bronze medal.

I looked at Han Sheng opposite who was deep in thought, and I was very hesitant to tell him my guess. But when I thought about his feelings for the second master, I felt a little reluctant. Everyone has something to rely on. The second master is no longer here, and I don't want to. Destroy his status in Han Sheng's heart.

And this is just a conjecture of mine, and there is no real evidence. Moreover, this conjecture has a fatal bug, which is why the second master did not go back. If it is said that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, then I will never believe it. If you can find this point , then everything makes sense.

I thought for a while and asked, "What do you think there is in the depths of Jing'er's world? Or is it really connected to reincarnation?"

Han Sheng shook his head. He looked out at the patio, with a rare trace of confusion on his face, and sighed: "I also want to know, there are too many secrets hidden there, and I have a feeling that that place is calling me."

I was shocked and thought, could this guy still go down?

He had turned to look at me, grinning and showing his white teeth, and said with a smile: "But don't worry, Second Master, something like today will never happen again. The Cao family has set their sights on us now, and they will definitely not give up." , some old guys will also take action against us, and the next action will definitely be very dangerous, I will definitely follow you."

I frowned and said, "You mean they will force themselves to do it?"

He nodded and said calmly: "There will be no shortage of conflicts. It's hard to say that Qing Quan's attack today is not Cao Laosi trying to test us. Back then, he relied on the power of the Cao family to start a horse gang on the Tea Horse Road in the Southwest. Although in recent years, I have cleared my mind, but most of my men are desperadoes. If Huang Yan and Qing Quan come together today, I can kill one person and injure one person, but the rest are still beyond the power of the current Longshan Pavilion. Strengthening the power of Longshan Pavilion is The most important thing right now."

I have also thought about what Han Sheng said. Longshan Pavilion originally followed the second master's old team to retire and run away. After I took the helm, a few people also chose to return to the market of old ladles from all over the place, which caused the situation. This has solved the situation where Longshan Pavilion now has no expert in charge.

Originally, we still relied on young men like Xiao He and Zhao Gu, but the two of them did not return in Xi'an, so today's green dog took advantage of it.

I sighed and said: "I understand, Xiao He and the others are not here today, and there are a few more skilled people who have led the team out, otherwise they wouldn't be so passive, but it also exposed our problems, I will find out Lao He, let's talk and see if we can promote some good players from below."

I remembered what Han Sheng said just now, and asked him: "Do the old guys you are talking about refer to the Cao family of the previous generation?"

He shook his head and said: "More than that, have you ever thought about why your father summoned most of the masters of the Cao family with one person? Do you know that the direct line of the Cao family has many branches, although they all have one foot in the underground business, However, digging jade mines, burning porcelain kilns, running canal transportation, selling salt and selling corpses, the several families are both cooperative and antagonistic, and they are no longer monolithic."

"It stands to reason that although your father has done a lot of beautiful work and is famous among the younger generation, there are many talented people in the Cao family in the past few generations. Your father is not qualified to gather all the rebellious Cao family members. , but he just did it. I don't know how much you know about the excavation of Qingshan back then, but you can never imagine how much power the Cao family used at that time."

"Hundreds of people were used in that operation, including equipment, transportation, writing, etc. The relationships involved upstream and downstream were even beyond the capabilities of the Cao family. According to the second master's later investigation, many secretive people were used in that plan. Power, and even a few hidden clues quietly surfaced. After the Cao family daytime incident, the second master said that all this was probably planned by his brother called the Immortal Finalist, and it was also the last thing he left to the second master. clues."

I heard Dorje tell the secret story of Qingshan, but Dorje was also on the sidelines at that time, so this part was very vague. Now when I heard Han Sheng talk about it, I realized that the scale of that tomb visit was not ordinary. At the same time, I was also curious about what happened to my father. What trump cards were used revealed most of the Cao family's secrets.

Han Sheng continued: "At that time, the current heads of the Cao family were not in charge. Your father persuaded them with one thing, and then gathered the masters of the Cao family to go to Qingshan. Although the heads of the Cao family have changed positions, they are still in charge. Those old people have not died, and according to Er Ye's investigation, there are even people from the older generation who have survived. They have all undergone certain changes in their later years. Those people are actually in charge of the underground power of the Cao family and seem to be looking for someone. What."

I was shocked. I didn't expect that people from previous generations still existed. It seemed that the water in the Cao family was much deeper than I thought. I looked at Han Sheng: "What are they looking for?"

"Wealth has no meaning to them. I think what they are looking for is what your father is investigating, and what convinced them was the stone man he brought back."
