Chapter 394 The truth about the shadow world
Zhang Wanzhi found the information of Tianqing Taoist in the library of Xianchen Sect.
But he did not find any information about Lingze Sanren.
So he planned to go to Dengxian Pavilion to have a look.
After Zhang Wanzhi left, the other senior brothers and sisters naturally talked about Tianqing Taoist.
"If he is really Tianqing Taoist, he has lived for hundreds of thousands of years. They can be free from the heavenly tribulation. Doesn't he have to be restricted by the immortal tribulation and have infinite life?" Xia Sijun said.
"If that's the case, I'm jealous." Lu Yang joked.
Chen Changsheng's clone said: "Let Xiuchang ask and we'll know."
"Let's go, there's nothing to do, why not go and see how he's interrogating." Xia Sijun suggested.
Lu Yang's face turned pale, Chen Changsheng was also a little hesitant, and Gui Wuyan, who had been silent, lowered his head.
Watching Li Xiuchang's interrogation is not a pleasant thing, but Xia Sijun took the initiative to propose it, and the three grown men naturally couldn't back down, so they could only agree.
The four of them came to the Dark Sky Realm through the teleportation array and flew all the way to the Mochen Sect.
As the deputy sect masters of the Mochen Sect, they haven't been here for quite a while.
It's rare for the Mochen Sect to gather so many deputy sect masters at the same time. At this time, the Mochen Sect is definitely the strongest sect in the history of the Dark Sky Realm.
"How is it? How is the progress?" Chen Changsheng asked when he saw Motu who was guarding outside.
Motu shook his head: "Ask anything else, they will tell you, but when asked about the abnormality in them, they will just bite their tongue and say they don't know."
"It's really hard to hold on under Xiu Chang's hands." Lu Yang said sincerely.
Motu said: "They have wanted to die a long time ago, but I have sealed their souls, so they can't die."
Chen Changsheng said: "It is very likely that they have sworn a Taoist oath, which cannot be leaked."
Motu said coldly: "They are not even afraid of the heavenly tribulation, so can the Taoist oath restrain them?"
Think about it carefully, this is the truth.
This group of people do not have the heavenly tribulation and cannot ascend. It seems that the heavenly way cannot control them, so the Taoist oath may not be a constraint on them.
"Let Xiuchang ask them and see if the Heavenly Dao can control them." Xia Sijun said.
A group of people walked into the house. The scene in front of them made them pale, but then they returned to normal, and even communicated with each other through voice transmission.
"Why do I feel that the scene is much more harmonious today than in the past?"
"Yes, I said why I felt something was missing. It seems that Xiuchang is not in good condition today."
"That's because he didn't use his full strength." Motu said.
"Why?" The others were puzzled.
"Because he is kind!"
After a little thought, they understood.
This is different from the people Li Xiuchang interrogated in the past. Those who interrogated in the past were all clear enemies, so Li Xiuchang had no scruples.
But the two immortals interrogated this time were actually complete strangers, and the two sides had no hatred before.
Therefore, Li Xiuchang always kept some strength when he attacked.
Li Xiuchang saw several senior brothers and felt a little embarrassed.
In the past, when he interrogated the people of Tianxiang, he used at most 50% of his methods, and those people confessed one by one, but he often pretended not to hear it, and he had to use at least 70% to 80% of his methods to give those people a taste.
As a result, when interrogating these two human immortals, he had already used 60% to 70% of his methods, but the two still refused to tell the truth when it came to the key part!
For people who had no grudges or hatred, Li Xiuchang didn't want to use all his methods to torture them, which was indeed a bit cruel.
But the two people were so uncooperative that Li Xiuchang felt that he had failed the trust of his senior brothers.
"Xiuchang, ask them if they have sworn an oath not to say anything, and whether they are bound by the way of heaven?" Lu Yang said.
"By the way, ask them if they have any immortal tribulations." Xia Sijun added.
"Okay." Li Xiuchang immediately turned around to interrogate the two immortals.
After being trained by Li Xiuchang for so long, the two immortals basically answered whatever they were asked as long as it didn't involve the most core secret in their hearts.
Soon, Li Xiuchang asked the answer.
"They really don't have immortal tribulation, and their life span will automatically increase when the time comes."
"They don't admit that there are any secrets, but they will also be bound by the Heavenly Dao, and the Dao oath is also useful to them."
Xia Sijun sneered: "Really? Then they are really the sons of the Heavenly Dao, and they are favored in all aspects."
Chen Changsheng and others didn't quite believe what the two said.
Why?
Why do we all have the same reason? You go to the shadow world and become a superior person?
There is no immortal tribulation, and even the life span is automatically obtained when the time comes, and you are directly immortal?
Li Xiuchang also felt that it was unrealistic. Although these two people confessed a lot, it was not certain how true or false they said.
"Since you say that the Dao oath is useful to you, then take a Dao oath and promise that everything you tell me is true, otherwise you will immediately suffer the backlash of the Heavenly Dao..."
When Li Xiuchang said this, the eyes of the two immortals lit up.
Suffer the backlash of the Heavenly Dao and die on the spot?
Isn't this what they want!
I have wanted to die for a long time!
How could Li Xiuchang let them have their wish? He smiled coldly: "Don't worry, I won't force you to die. If you are lying, I will let you relive today's pain every day for the rest of your life."
The two people's excited hearts immediately cooled down and sank into the abyss.
Relive today's pain every day?
Then the first thing they would do after they regained their mobility must be suicide.
And once the oath is made and fulfilled, it will prove that there are some falsehoods in what they said before.
"Hurry up, swear." Li Xiuchang urged.
Motu and others also locked their consciousness on the two people. Once there is a problem with the oath made by the two people, such as trying to commit suicide, they will be interrupted immediately.
Both immortals were silent.
Do not speak, pretend to be dead, because there is no other way.
"Okay! I am too kind to you." Li Xiuchang's eyes flashed coldly, and he turned to Motu and said:
"Brother Mo, can you extract their souls and exchange them?"
Motu nodded: "Of course, but what do you want to do?"
What effect can it have if the two exchange bodies?
Li Xiuchang turned to look at Xia Sijun and asked, "Sister, is there any aphrodisiac that is strong but can keep both parties conscious?"
At this moment, everyone understood what Li Xiuchang wanted to do. Xia Sijun showed an expectant expression and nodded:
"This is simple, I can refine it now."
"Then I'll trouble you, sister."
At this time, the two immortals already knew what was going to happen next. They wanted to hold on at first, but many nightmare images always appeared in their minds uncontrollably.
So the two broke their defense and output to Li Xiuchang: "You devil, I have never seen such a vicious person..."
"I just help you get more familiar with your body, I hope you can still curse later."
Motu and Xia Sijun were very efficient and started to work immediately.
Motu forcibly extracted the souls of the two and exchanged bodies.
After a while, the two immortals sat opposite each other, and they saw their familiar bodies.
At this time, what they thought in their minds was more vivid.
Xia Sijun moved quickly and had already refined the aphrodisiac pill that Li Xiuchang wanted.
Li Xiuchang ignored the two people's struggles and forced them to take the pill.
The pill took effect quickly, but Li Xiuchang deliberately asked Senior Sister Xia to refine the kind of pill that would have a gradual effect, so that the two people could clearly feel the changes in their bodies.
Both of them found that the instinctive desire in their bodies was aroused, becoming more and more turbulent, as if a sleeping dragon was gradually waking up.
They can still suppress this impulse now, but they can also feel that it is getting more and more difficult.
Until they faced their former bodies, they actually had some thoughts that would have made them sick, and the two finally collapsed.
The feeling of knowing that they couldn't do it but couldn't control it, the impulse that was obviously disgusting but the body wanted it very much, made them fall into an indescribable self-contradiction.
"Damn it! I just want to live, I haven't hurt anyone, why are you forcing me!"
"Don't! Don't do this, I didn't mean it, I just want to live a better life, what's wrong with me?"
The two people were emotionally collapsed, and with the influence of the aphrodisiac pill, they were already somewhat unconscious.
From the words of the two at this time, something wrong can also be heard.
Motu helped the two to suppress the drug power temporarily, so that they could be temporarily freed.
"Speak or not?" He asked directly without any nonsense.
The two people's eyes were red, and their firm will finally loosened. They looked at each other and saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.
"I say, give us the antidote first." One of them said hoarsely.
Motu shook his head: "Speak first."
He knew the repetition of human nature. Some people will relax their will when they are in pain. Once the pain is relieved, they will become firm or waver again.
"We are not from the Xianyin world. We were born in the shadow world you said."
The two people's words stunned everyone present.
Li Xiuchang's pupils shrank slightly: "Then your identity..."
The two people had previously explained their identities. They were the elders of a large sect in the Xianyin world.
The sect they belonged to was considered the first echelon of the sect power under the four major immortal gates. The two entered the Xianyin together a thousand years ago, and then disappeared without a trace.
Because it happened only a thousand years ago, the time interval is not too long, and it is easy to find relevant records from various channels of information.
The two immortals said in a hoarse voice: "We are not them. Although we have the same appearance and the same name, we are not the two people you think."
"What do you mean?" Lu Yang was a little confused.
One immortal replied: "Regarding our hometown, which is the shadow world in your mouth, there are some things we did not tell the truth. In fact, there are many people there. The whole world is full of people. We have long been accustomed to living in the shadow."
Another immortal added: "And almost everyone can find the same one in your world."
Li Xiuchang tried hard to understand the meaning of the two people's words, but still suspected that he had heard it wrong, or the two were talking nonsense.
The brothers and sisters also fell into silence collectively.
Li Xiuchang took a deep breath: "You mean, you two are from the shadow world, pretending to be from the fairy world, because there are two people in the fairy world who look exactly like you?"
The two immortals nodded in unison.
"All of us in the Immortal Shadow Realm, including me and my companions, can find people who are exactly like us in the Shadow World?"
The two immortals nodded again: "Although we haven't seen you in our hometown, there must be."
"It's just that they look the same, what about their cultivation? There are also spiritual fluctuations and bloodlines. These can't be exactly the same..."
"They are all the same." The two immortals confirmed.
"How is this possible!" Xia Siyun didn't believe it and thought it was too ridiculous. "You two should make up lies more convincingly!"
The two immortals sighed: "Although you don't want to admit it, don't you understand yet? We are your shadows!"
"shadow……"
Li Xiuchang looked down at his own shadow.
Of course he knew that the shadow they were talking about did not refer to the shadow under his feet.
Then think of the various oppositions between the shadow world and the fairy shadow world. The fairy shadow corresponds to the fairy sun, and the light corresponds to the darkness...
An idea emerged in his mind: Is the shadow world a projection of the Immortal Shadow World?
Therefore, everything in the fairy shadow world, including people, is projected into the shadow world.
But if the two worlds are the same, how can we tell which one is real and which one is a projection?
Li Xiuchang asked his question.
The senior brothers and sisters also listened attentively. They could not accept such a statement for a while and needed to know more details to judge whether it was true or false.
The two immortals replied: "It's very simple, because after the shadow loses its body, it will naturally disappear. Every time a person dies in your world, the corresponding person in our world will also die. Sometimes you will see someone in the last moment. I’m still talking to you, but I’ll disappear in the next moment, leaving no bones behind.”
Motu asked: "Then if the body is immortal, wouldn't the people in your world be immortal?"
The two nodded: "Even if we are killed, we will reappear after a period of time. Our cultivation and lifespan will be shared with the main body. If the main body dies, we will also die. As the main body becomes stronger, we will also become stronger.
"Of course memories will not be shared. We don't know what the body has experienced, just like the body doesn't know the experiences and thoughts of our shadows."
Lu Yang frowned and asked: "Since everything is the same, why do you have different experiences? Different memories?"
This question did not need two immortals to answer. Li Xiuchang, the hexagram master and time traveler, answered Lu Yang on the spot.
"Even if everything is the same between the two worlds, there will be some random events that lead to differences. A little bit of insignificant differences can gradually accumulate into huge changes..."
Simply put, it is the butterfly effect.
The Immortal Shadow World and the Shadow World are like parallel worlds, with many similarities and many differences.
What's more, Immortal Shadow and the Shadow World are not exactly the same at the beginning, such as the difference in environment, and the fact that people in the Shadow World can gain cultivation without practicing...
Compared with the monks in the Immortal Shadow World, the monks in the Shadow World can free up a lot of practice time to do other things. This alone can make the two worlds develop in different directions. (End of chapter)
