Chapter 1460 The Long Night Is Not Alone
White Bone Taoist...
White Bone Taoist!
These four words almost immediately awakened all memories.
For a long time, Jiang Wang was convinced that he was the source of the chaos, the core figure of the White Bone Cult, and the White Bone Taoist who was about to welcome the arrival of the evil god. He was confused, in pain, struggled, and despaired.
Of course, he later killed Zhuang Chengqian and faced the power of the White Bone Evil God, so he would no longer be afraid of the White Bone Taoist.
But...
Wang Changji is the White Bone Taoist of this generation?
Jiang Wang had a trance of confusion, and then he suddenly remembered that the White Bone Saint Lord he saw on the battlefield in Qiyang seemed to occupy Wang Changji's body. Because Lu Yan said at that time, "White Bone, you are no longer Wang Changji."
He was still very confused at that time, and was confused by Zhuang Chengqian's disguised Jiang Yan.
When he met the current Wang Changji in Yong State, the appearance of Zhang Linchuan he casually described was exactly the appearance of the White Bone Saint Lord who appeared on the battlefield at that time!
But at that time, Jiang Wang did not connect the two, but just felt vaguely familiar. After all, Wang Changji was very unfamiliar to him. After all, even if it was the same body, the temperament would change a lot.
White Bone Saint Lord, White Bone Taoist, White Bone Messenger...
A ball of threads seemed to be getting more and more tangled, but Jiang Wang quickly unraveled the thread and touched the truth.
After all, he who personally experienced the battle between Zhuang Chengqian and the White Bone God has already mastered the information of the White Bone Dao to a great extent. He also has a deep enough understanding of the White Bone Taoist, a vessel chosen by the evil god to descend to the world.
The four words "White Bone Taoist" are themselves a kind of designed sadness.
How powerless people are in front of the evil god!
Jiang Wang looked at the man in front of him and imagined the story he had experienced.
In the disaster of the destruction of Fenglin City, when he was old and gray, he looked back at his hometown in Fenglin. Someone was also somewhere, watching everything in despair.
They had felt similar pain and chewed the same powerlessness. In the terrifying power of the gods, they felt the collapse of the world.
Their hometowns were destroyed, their homes were broken, and the people they cherished were crushed like ants.
And they could only watch.
They opened their eyes wide and watched without missing a single scene.
"At the beginning, they also said that I was a Taoist of bones." Jiang Wang said this, looking at the sea.
The reflection of the water mirror told him what he had grown into over the years.
"Promised me a position in the Kingdom of Bones in the future. Told me that they would give everything for me."
"It seems that you didn't believe it." Wang Changji remained calm.
"No, I believed it." Jiang Wang said, "I was very gullible at that time."
Wang Changji did not speak.
He thought that Wang Changxiang at that time was also very gullible.
Believing in his brother was just a matter of Taoism or physique, and he was determined that those who have a will can achieve their goals.
I naively thought that I could solve the problem of my brother's inability to practice by my own efforts.
I had just stepped into the world of practice, so why... would I have such a delusion?
I clearly encouraged him to practice in the hope that he would leave Fenglin City early and never look back. But he came back every now and then, bringing all kinds of messy medicines.
I was obviously very indifferent to him, so stupid... but he seemed to see the pain under the heavy body.
He always walked into the yard with a warm smile.
I always couldn't drive him away...
"I chose to tell my mentor about this matter." Jiang Wang continued: "The dean of Fenglin City Taoist Academy, Dong A. When I was attacked by the white bone Taoist demon, he personally detoxified me and captured the demon himself. He patiently pointed out the problems of my practice, gave me his personal jade pendant, and taught me the secret method of controlling the Dao Yuan... He did a lot for the city Taoist Academy."
A touch of pain fell in Wang Changji's alienated eyes, which made him lively. It seemed as if he had reestablished a connection with the world.
He thought that Wang Changxiang trusted him more than Jiang Wang trusted Dong A.
When the White Bone God dominated this body and killed Changxiang, how painful was he?
In the last moments of his life, what was Changxiang thinking about?
"The one who betrayed you will always make you more painful." Wang Changji said, "Because you were not prepared for him."
"Then I killed him." Jiang Wang's tone was inexplicable: "On the New Year's Eve of the year before last. The street was long and deserted. It rained heavily that day."
He looked at Wang Changji: "I have never told anyone this, but I think you may understand."
Wang Changji was silent for a while and said, "Since the day I was born, there has been a pair of eyes looking at me. Watching me without blinking. I didn't know until I was twelve years old."
"At that time I I often had the desire to kill people, and I wanted to kill people like crazy. I wanted to cut my father's throat when he kept talking. I wanted to pierce her back with a sword when the maid just walked in front of me... I locked myself in the room and didn't see anyone. "
"I looked through all the classics collected by the Wang family and bought all the ancient classics that could be bought on the market. I couldn't find a way to save myself, regardless of Buddhism, Taoism, and Mo. "
"One night, I was reading the scriptures under the oil lamp, and when I turned around, I saw those eyes. "
Wang Changji's tone was so calm.
But the listener could feel the fear and the feeling that would drive people crazy.
"It has no emotions and communicates nothing to me."
"No matter what I do, whether I scold it or attack it, it doesn't react at all."
"I can't reveal its existence to anyone. Whenever I have such a thought, I can't open my mouth."
"You can convey information without opening your mouth. I thought about it for a long time and came up with a way to ask Grandpa Song for help. He was a worshiper of the Wang family and the strongest person I knew at that time... The next day, he died."
Wang Changji said slowly: "It's said that something went wrong while practicing."
Jiang Wang could almost imagine the despair.
Mortals are powerless in the face of gods.
No matter how much I struggle and resist, I can only watch myself slipping into the abyss step by step.
Whatever you do is useless.
The more we struggle, the more people are affected...
How did a twelve-year-old boy survive those years?
"I tried to commit suicide many times, but I couldn't die. I used knives, poison, hanging... Those eyes always looked at me like that. Many times I thought I was dead, and when I woke up, nothing changed. "
Wang Changji said: "I grow up day by day, and those eyes are always there looking at me. They are always the same as what I saw when I was twelve years old."
"I have been afraid for many years and tried many methods, but nothing worked. Later I thought, no matter what the ending is, it will come soon. I have given up."
"If that's my life, I can take it."
Wang Changji lowered his eyes slightly and looked at his hands: "I can recognize it..."
He can recognize all endings.
But he couldn't accept that Wang Changxiang died in front of him.
Jiang Wang calmed down and said slowly: "To meet you in the mountains and seas today, I began to think that it might be a kind of fate. I'm not saying that fate made us meet, and I never believe it. Is there some superior will to be kind to you and me? I mean, it is precisely because we have never given up that we have reached this point, and the paths under our feet intersect here."
Wang Changji has not had any emotions for a long time.
I have never told anyone about the past.
But as Jiang Wang said——
"Maybe you'll understand."
Human beings are looking for a resonance throughout their lives.
Everyone needs to be understood, but who can truly be understood?
Who has been through what I have been through, felt what I feel, suffered my pain?
But at that time, he, who was curled up in the corner of his body, and Jiang Wang, who had lived a long life and fled with his sister on his back, were real. They briefly looked at each other in the tragic fate.
Each traveled thousands of miles, and then met again in the mountains and seas.
"I should have chatted with you more when we were in Yong Kingdom." Wang Changji said softly.
"It's not too late now, because we still have a long way to go." Jiang Wang said: "What about after leaving Maplewood City? I think you have gone through a lot to get here."
Wang Changji thought for a while and then said: "Although the White Bone Evil God's plan to come to the world in Maplewood City failed, and the White Bone True Pill was also taken away by the kings and ministers of the Zhuang Kingdom, he still controlled my Taoist body and successfully escaped from the hidden world. escape.
Later, he made plans thousands of miles away and forged a holy body of bones on the battlefield of Qiyang, hoping to restart the plan of coming to the world... But all this was in Zhang Linchuan's plan. "
"Bone Messenger Zhang Linchuan?" Jiang Wang asked.
"Now we are the ancestors of the Wusheng Cult." Wang Changji said: "Yang Country is the place Zhang Linchuan personally chose for the White Bone Evil God to come to the world, just to use the strong men of Qi to obliterate the will of the White Bone Evil God. He has long since eliminated all the people in the White Bone Dao who are loyal to the White Bone Evil God. The existence of the White Bone Holy Lord joined forces with Lu Yan and Bai Lian to launch a plan to seize the White Bone Holy Lord's body at that time, expelling the will of the White Bone Evil God. "
"Later...Zhang Linchuan took over the Holy Bone Body, and I also left my body and took over his body. So what you see now is like this."
Wang Changji spoke very simply, covering the matter in a few words, and his tone was very calm.
But Jiang Wang, who had a deep understanding of the Bone Evil God, felt the waves involved.
He didn't know until today that there was such a thrilling past!
Zhang Linchuan once said that he often felt like there was a knife poking him behind him, and every moment was tense.
He knew that Zhang Linchuan had great ambitions.
But it is really unimaginable that Zhang Linchuan's ambition has expanded to this extent. He used his body to seek God, hoping to reach the sky in one step... and he actually did it!
Outside there are Zhuang Gaoxian, Du Ruhui, Dong A, the entire Maplewood City resistance force, and even Chongxuan Chu Liang on the Qiyang battlefield.
There are three elders in the White Bone Path, a saint, a twelve-bone face, and even Wang Changji's will is hidden in the white bone holy body.
He is just an envoy among the many high-level officials of White Bone Dao, and his cultivation and qualifications are very limited.
But he was chosen to accomplish this, and he got the best out of such a complicated situation. Many parties took advantage of the situation to seize the holy body, and everyone made a wedding dress for him.
And what about Wang Changji?
A mortal who is directly restricted from practicing.
In an era when the White Bone Evil God has changed his strategy and put many restrictions on Daozi's body because of Zhuang Chengqian, he can still persist in himself and not be wiped out by the will of the White Bone Evil God.
Even on the contrary, using the will of mortals to expel the will of the Bone Evil God!
This is a miraculous feat!
How exciting is the process of two people like this, cooperating and competing, and finally switching bodies?
It's too hard to imagine, and too amazing!
"I roughly know why you have been watched since birth... But you should be the last White Bone Taoist." Jiang Wang said solemnly: "The White Bone Evil God has achieved the Tao fetus and can be born into the world at any time without being rejected. Perhaps He has been born in a corner of the world and is growing up silently."
Wang Changji looked up at him, obviously attaching great importance to this information: "How did you know?"
Jiang Wang calmed down and said: "I have also experienced another resistance against the White Bone Evil God... A resistance that lasted for hundreds of years."
It was indeed a very difficult and magnificent battle.
Especially the final battle, almost every step was on the edge of life and death.
Looking back to this day, I am still shocked.
Even if it were to happen again, it might not be the same result...
He said with some emotion: "I wonder if you are interested in listening to the story of the previous White Bone Taoist?"
"I am very interested in everything about the White Bone Evil God." Wang Changji looked at the seat next to him and said, "Sit down."
Jiang Wang took a few steps forward and subconsciously glanced at the mechanical Mahoraka standing on the water.
Wang Changji immediately said: "Don't worry, they just fell asleep."
"That's the best." Jiang Wang breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and sat down next to him: "They are my friends."
If Zuo Guangshu suffered any irreversible damage, he really didn't know how to get along with Wang Changji.
This kind of concern was of course out of goodwill for Wang Changji.
Wang Changji thought for a while and said: "This woman is actually very strong, but her soul is very defective."
He didn't mention Zuo Guangshu, maybe Zuo Guangshu was not strong in his eyes, or when they fought, Zuo Guangshu had not recovered and didn't perform well.
Or... He subconsciously felt that the one who would make Jiang Wang pay so much attention to Yue Tiannu should be Yue Tiannu, a woman. Even if she was a puppet.
Jiang Wang and Yue Tiannu actually had no friendship, and he really didn't care much about her. But after thinking about it, he asked, "Does Brother Wang have any suggestions?"
Wang Changji said, "She doesn't actually need my advice. If you must say something... just tell her, 'Self-realization of the treasure nature, the body is a spiritual boat.'"
"Self-realization of the treasure nature, the body is a spiritual boat..." Jiang Wang repeated it and couldn't help asking, "What does this mean?"
"If you tell her, she will know." Wang Changji said, "Now, let me hear your story."
Jiang Wang didn't hesitate, thought about it, and said, "This story starts with Zhuang Chengqian splitting the land to establish a country..."
At that moment, he carefully recounted the hundreds of years of calamity between Zhuang Chengqian and the White Bone Evil God, and described the thrilling battle in the ancient demon cave, until the mountain and sea realm entered the night again.
A faint golden light flowed on the mechanical Mahoraka, as if illuminating the two people who were talking.
One with hair tied up and the other with hair loose, one calm and the other cold, the ripples were reflected in the water.
The long story finally came to an end.
When Jiang Wang talked about how he finally cut off the remnant soul of Zhuang Chengqian, Wang Changji couldn't help but praise: "What a wonderful story."
Then he added: "Very wonderful!"
With his temperament, this is a very rare expression.
"Yes." Jiang Wang also sighed: "I still feel a breathless feeling when I think of Zhuang Chengqian. I have also realized more than once how terrifying the underworld gods are. We are absolutely not qualified to ignore it."
Wang Changji said: "I mean you, very wonderful."
Jiang Wang subconsciously wanted to respond modestly, but for some reason, facing Wang Changji at this moment, modesty seemed to be a kind of hypocrisy.
He thought for a moment and said seriously, "I really have to thank myself for not giving up no matter what the situation is. I have to thank all my past efforts for allowing me to move forward to the future so firmly."
The golden light on the mechanical Mahoraka is already a little far away from here.
But Jiang Wang is still bathed in light.
It is a kind of brilliance from the inside out. This intention and this heart are different from people.
"Have you ever thought about what kind of future that is?" Wang Changji asked softly.
"I haven't thought about it." Jiang Wang said.
How can people not think about the future?
Unless...it is too far away. So far away that even he, who has become famous all over the world, feels out of reach.
Wang Changji actually understood this sentence completely, but he still said: "Why not imagine it."
Jiang Wang then thought about it seriously, and then said: "If I think about it now, I still don't know what the future will be like. But I think, in that future that I don't know whether it will come or not, there must be no Du Ruhui, no Zhuang Gaoxian, no Zhang Linchuan, and no White Bone Evil God."
Wang Changji said: "You will see that day."
He raised his eyes to look at the sky, and his voice was full of infinite longing and melancholy: "We will all see that day."
Jiang Wang felt a very subtle touch in his heart.
He was actually not familiar with Wang Changji, and he had never interacted with him in Fenglin City in the past. After leaving Fenglin City, until now, he has not had contact with him a few times.
But at this moment in this mountain and sea realm, he sat next to Wang Changji, and inexplicably, he felt less lonely.
It's like walking in the long dark night, lighting a fire alone in the dimness, although you are brave and fearless, although you keep moving forward, although you keep telling yourself that you can walk to the end of the long night alone.
But when you suddenly find another torch, walking in the same direction as you, burning in the long night like you...
You will feel warm.
The only thing that can light a flame is another flame.
This night will be bright forever.
"I think so too." Jiang Wang said.
"By the way." Jiang Wang said seriously: "You said before that you were waiting here for the Nine Chapters Jade Bi. If you need it, I have two pieces here, and I can give you one."
"How can I take away something you fought for with a sword?" Wang Changji held the fishing rod and said in a light voice: "Keep it yourself, I don't really need it. Besides, I can take it from others."
Jiang Wang thought about his silent way of dealing with Yue Tiannu Zuo Guangshu, so he didn't say much.
He just said: "Actually, I don't know what's the use of fighting for the Nine Chapter Jade Bi. It's nothing more than a key. Isn't it enough to come and go?"
"What if there is more than one lock?" Seeing Jiang Wang was a little stunned, Wang Changji said again: "I'm just talking casually. After all, I don't know much about this place."
"But what you said makes sense." Jiang Wang said.
Wang Changji shook his head gently: "There are some problems in this world. I noticed that the Nine Chapter Jade Bi may represent some kind of rules. The more you master it, the more you can protect yourself..."
At this point, he changed the subject: "If possible, I would like to ask you for a favor later."
Jiang Wang did not agree at once, but asked first: "Can you tell me what it is?"
For someone like Jiang Wang, no one would think he was shirking responsibility. Those who value their promises do not make promises easily. He will not promise things that he cannot do.
Wang Changji did not have any twists and turns, and said bluntly: "This body is not very good. I need to make more preparations. I saw an opportunity in the Mountain and Sea Realm."
Being able to escape unscathed from the pursuit of Kuiniu, this body is not very good?
Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment before he realized that Wang Changji might be talking about qualifications.
After all, Zhang Linchuan had painstakingly planned to abandon this body and take the holy body of bones, which also shows the difference in qualifications between the two bodies.
"If I can help you, I'm happy to do so." Jiang Wang said.
Wang Changji said: "If the opportunity arises, I will contact you. If there is no good opportunity, then I wish you good luck."
"Okay." Jiang Wang nodded, watching his movements, and finally couldn't help asking: "What are you fishing?"
Wang Changji looked at the fishing line hanging into the deep sea, and his tone was still very calm: "I'm not fishing for anything, I'm fighting for the right to fish."
Jiang Wang became more and more confused: "Fighting for the right to fish? With whom?"
"You will understand later." Wang Changji said, and handed over the fishing rod in his hand: "Leave it to you."
Jiang Wang took the fishing rod a little confused, and it was smooth and warm in the hand.
Other than that, he didn't feel anything.
"It will be hard for them to wake up if they continue to sleep... Let's stop here for today." Wang Changji looked at him deeply and said, "Nice to see you."
"With you walking with me, the long road is not lonely." Jiang Wang said seriously.
Then, right in front of him, Wang Changji suddenly disappeared.
It is not accurate to say that he disappeared suddenly, because his disappearance was not abrupt, but natural and calm.
Like a landscape painting with detailed descriptions, a leaf and a blade of grass were silently missing, and the composition of the whole painting would not be flawed at all.
What difference does it make if there is one more leaf or one less leaf?
The night was dark, and the mechanical Mahoraka stood in the night.
Jiang Wang sat alone on the water.
Everything he had just experienced and talked about seemed to be just an illusion.
How could it be an illusion?
Jiang Wang held the long fishing rod in his hand, and felt that the fishing line did not hook anything. He gently lifted the rod up, and ripples appeared on the sea surface, as if something was broken...
The fishing rod in his hand also disappeared.
The whole world seemed to be calling for a wave.
The mechanical Mahoraka stopped not far away, and its snake eyes began to move.
Click, click.
The night began to flow again.
Xiao Kanyan Ge was stabbed.
32/78.
