Chapter 367 Divergence
Li Chuan met Prince Su twice.
Once in Heyuan Town, he took a look from a distance; the other time was in the palace, he didn't want to be remembered by Prince Su, so he basically followed him in and out.
This was the third time we met, and I finally saw clearly what Su Han looked like. He had a wide forehead and long eyebrows, bright eyes, and a majestic and thick face. He really looked like someone who had been in a high position for a long time.
Li Chuan looked away and looked out the window again.
Su Han said: "Jushi Cui, you should go outside first."
"Yes." Jushi Cui stood up and walked out of the private room.
I don’t know when the sound of the guqin stopped, and the guests’ conversations disappeared.
"Dr. Li, there are only you and me here, and your two brothers. I want to be honest with you about something." Prince Su said.
Li Chuan seemed to be listening attentively, but his thoughts drifted elsewhere uncontrollably.
Prince Su should know that he cannot be won over.
"They all advised me that there is no need to risk leaving the palace. Your Majesty only trusts the palace supervisor and the general. No matter how I explain it, it is wrong."
Indeed, just talking, the other party is still the same. The person he was guarding against would not be able to win him over, regardless of coercion or inducement.
He is just not smart, and he is not mentally retarded.
"I did get to know many great demons and have some agreements with them." Prince Su said.
Even if you can tell him all this, it seems like you really want him to die.
Li Chuan looked at Prince Su and asked, "Why do you tell me?"
"Because if I don't tell you frankly, you won't help me." Prince Su said .
"You said it, and I won't help." Li Chuan said.
"You don't have to make a decision right now, I will give you enough time," Prince Su said unhurriedly, his eyes swept over the faces of Gong Er and Pang San respectively, and said : "You also have two demon cultivator friends, so you should be able to understand what I am saying."
"Brother, don't listen to him. He almost deceived us last time in Heyuan Town." Gong Er stood up and said.
The other three nodded.
Then Gong Er said to Prince Su: "Brother will not help you. You should give up your intention."
"Yes, you should give up your intention." Li Chuan said.
Hearing Li Chuan agree with him, Gong Er became even more arrogant. He said: "Let us leave here, otherwise..."
"I didn't arrest you, so how can I say whether you will be released or not?" Prince Su said.
Gong Er thought for a while and said: "You didn't arrest us, but you threatened us."
Prince Su looked at Li Chuan and asked: "Dr. Li, you think so too "Is that true?"
"That's the truth."
"Indeed," Prince Su's voice seemed to be weaker, he said: "In order to meet you, I did use some tricks."
He is showing weakness, why?
Li Chuan's thoughts began to diverge again. How are they going to kill him?
Prince Su said: "The time I spend with my aunt is longer than the time I spend with my parents. It can be said that I have been living in the palace since I was eight years old, listening to my aunt's teachings every day. , learn to be a qualified future emperor. My aunt said that she would pass on to me a great Jiang Dynasty without monsters. I believed it.”
Aunt? Empress?
“It wasn’t until after I was crowned and sent to Yashan County, and another three to five years passed, that I realized that my aunt took me with her just as a cover to block the crowd. It’s a pretense for me to be the crown prince,” Prince Su said.
It's very simple to kill him. If you take away the Tianyin Pot and the book "Pattern Sutra", he will be defenseless.
He should have made the first move. Now, ring the Tianyin pot and let the surge flow across the stone boat, tearing apart the boundary and sinking into the abyss of the heart.
Prince Su is dead, so his men shouldn’t have the leisure to spread the idea of eating souls everywhere, right?
But there are other people on the stone boat.
Li Chuan looked out the window again. Prince Su had indeed investigated him. The place where he sat was in shadow, making it difficult for him to enter a mysterious state.
On the far bank of the river, the shadows of trees danced.
Prince Su's voice floated in Li Chuan's ears, "I don't resent my aunt. Yashan County is enough for me. I can do what I want. At that time, Qingtan County appeared I asked several Taoist friends to look at several strange things, but they all said there was nothing that could be done. I wrote back to Beijing and asked people from Qin Tianjian to take action, but Gong Wuguang refused; I went to several mysterious places mentioned in the records. Most of the sects could not even find the door. Only the Jinfeng Sect welcomed me in, but told me that Xuanmen would not interfere with the world."
"In the end, it was a demon who took action. Xiu, a demon cultivator who had just transformed into a human form and had cultivated for less than a hundred years. Then, I found the source of those strange things. There was an ancient city buried under a mountain in Yashan County. I walked into the ancient city and found out. A secret." Prince Su stood up, picked up the roll of paper that Cui Jushi had handed to Li Chuan, and said, "The pattern on it was rubbed from the gate of the ancient city."
Li Chuan still didn’t answer, still looking out the window.
So Prince Su put it down again and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Look at the scenery." Li Chuan said.
"Gong Wuguang will not come." Prince Su said.
"I know." Li Chuan sat upright and asked, "You said you are willing to be honest with me?"
Prince Su said: "Yes."
< br>
"What is the purpose of the troupe walking from Yashan County to the capital?" Li Chuan asked.
“Didn’t you already guess it?” Prince Su said.
“I want to hear your confession from your own mouth.” Li Chuan emphasized the word honesty.
“To transport something.” Prince Su said.
“What?” Li Chuan asked.
"A key." Prince Su said, "The key is hidden in a device and can only be opened by the heirs of the Pattern Sutra."
"What is it used for?" Li Chuan asked.
"Open a door." Prince Su said, and then he stretched out his hand to stop Li Chuan from continuing to ask. He said, "Dr. Li, listen to me. Regarding the key, I I will tell you everything."
"Okay." Li Chuan said, but his thoughts began to wander again.
They have been waiting for him to leave Qintian Prison. They won't kill him until they achieve their goal. But... what is their purpose?
He should continue to push his boundaries.
Prince Su cleared his throat and said: "I learned a secret in the ancient city. Since 30,000 years ago, the way of heaven has collapsed."
Thirty thousand years ago... …
“After that, the way of humanity supported the way of heaven. But the demons and immortals fell one after another, and the way turned into a realm of death. Almost all the demon cultivators who tried to ascend died miserably in the calamity of heaven.”
Prince Su’s speech speed slowly increased.
"In the order of heaven, all living beings are equal, and every living being has his place. However, immortals and Xuanmen, for their own selfish interests, conceal this point and only care about their own ascension, regardless of worldly sentient beings."
"They were afraid that the way of heaven would completely collapse, so they supported the great demons and allowed them to invade the human world."
"The great catastrophe has begun, and the great catastrophe originated from the selfish desires of immortals and Xuanmen."
"Who did you listen to?" Li Chuan asked.
"I saw it with my own eyes." Prince Su said, "In the end, the way of heaven collapsed, reincarnation was broken, and everything in the world returned to nothingness."
"This reason is untenable." Li Chuan said. He always didn't like to hear these mysterious and mysterious words, and he would become irritated when he heard them.
“What do you mean?”
“You don’t mean that the balance is imbalanced because humans are strong and demons are weak, so you have to help demons kill people to balance the killing, right?” Li Chuan said .
“That’s not what I meant, and I have never had such an idea.” Prince Su sternly denied it.
“But that’s what it sounds like to me,” Li Chuan retorted. He glanced at the tree shadows by the river again and said, “According to you, if everything has its place, then as As a human prince, all his food and clothing come from the support of the people. What you should do is to repay the people. If you don't repay the people, forget it. If you still massacre the people, not to mention anything else, everyone in Suliuhe and Heyuan Town will die. Is it your fault?”
"There are also people killed by Soul Eater." Li Chuan said: "I think your Majesty is right in not wanting to pass the throne to you. The world that your great ancestor worked so hard to conquer will be divided in your hands for no reason. Half of it is given to the monster. If he finds out, he will be so angry that he jumps out of the coffin board. "
"You can either stop being this prince, and stop treating yourself as a human being in this world. There are still many unclaimed lands. If you take your demon cultivator friends to reclaim the wasteland and build some kind of monster dynasty, then I will respect you as a man and call you the Su Demon Emperor."
Prince Su did not seem angry after hearing this, and his tone remained calm. He asked: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Li Chuan did have some ideas. He said: "The way of heaven collapsed. Just find a way to mend the sky.”
