Chapter 205 Persuasion
Last time, we talked about Li Yi hanging Zhang Hongchen on a tree, and Zhang Hongchen wanted to die. So what will be the fate of this Zhang Hall Master? Let's read on.
Li Yi looked at Zhang Hongchen in surprise and said, "Wait for me in hell? You said it so righteously, as if you are not afraid of death?"
Zhang Hongchen sneered, "Why should I fear death? I am from the Shura Palace. When I go to hell, the Shura clan will definitely protect me!"
Li Yi shook his head and smiled, "Will the Shura protect you? Although the Shura are working in Hell, you are not stupid enough to think that the Shura people know you, right? So how can there be such a thing as protection?"
Zhang Hongchen sneered and said, "The Shura King's incarnation is dead, so he has returned to hell. He has seen me before, so he will naturally take good care of me."
Li Yi shook his head and said, "It seems that you don't know much about hell! Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is in hell not only to save the evil spirits in hell, but also to suppress the Shura clan!
As far as I know, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva first recruited most of the Shura clan to surrender, and made them ghost messengers of the underworld to help manage hell. Those who did not surrender to the Bodhisattva were the "rebels" led by the Shura King. They fled everywhere in hell to avoid being cleared out, so if you die, you will not be taken care of at all!"
Zhang Hongchen said coldly, "Hmph, don't try to trick me! Since I've fallen into your hands, stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and do it! Or do you not dare to kill me?"
Li Yi said helplessly: "Alas, what a pity. I wanted to give you a chance, but since you are determined to die, then I will..."
As he spoke, Li Yi raised his hand and pointed it at Zhang Hongchen's chest. The latter first stared at Li Yi nervously, a blush appeared on his face, and then he closed his eyes and left it to fate. Li Yi laughed and raised his hand to pinch Zhang Hongchen's neck. He could feel Zhang Hongchen's excited heartbeat through the pulse on his neck.
Li Yi exerted a little force on his hands, and Zhang Hongchen panted nervously. He slowly leaned close to Zhang Hongchen's ear and smiled, "You killed so many people, you want to die so quickly, that won't work, I have to torture you slowly!"
Zhang Hongchen opened his eyes and glared at Li Yi, who let go of his hand and smiled, "Let me think of how to torture you. Although you are a demon, you deliberately stay away from towns to avoid hurting innocent people, which shows that you still have a trace of kindness in your heart. How about this, I will let you do good deeds, which must be a torture for you."
Zhang Hongchen sneered, "Good intentions? What is that? I don't have any! Not hurting innocent people is even more ridiculous! Have you forgotten that I used water ghosts to attack those who fell into the water?"
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "I guess you must have been hurt and in pain, so you hate those people and think they deserve to die. I can understand this, but no matter what, I will never let you continue to kill indiscriminately."
Zhang Hongchen sneered: "Then you can only kill me, otherwise I will not let people like you go."
Li Yi raised his thumb and smiled, "Good job, I like your stubbornness! Master Zhang, let me tell you the truth, we men have two major hobbies, to lure good girls into sex and to persuade prostitutes to become good women."
Speaking of this, Li Yi suddenly remembered the scene of pulling Nangong Xue into the water, and sighed in his heart: Damn, I actually did both of these things! It was completely subconscious behavior! Is this engraved in my bones! Alas! How sad! Forget it, why bother so much!
Li Yi cleared his throat and continued, "The theory of the heart says that the heart is the principle and leads to conscience. That is to say, good thoughts and conscience are originally in the heart. Even the most evil people have them in their hearts, but they just don't want to show them. I have heard the story of Wang Yangming who solved a case by destroying the heart and awakening the conscience of a gangster. Why not try it with Master Zhang?"
Zhang Hongchen asked, "What do you mean by a heart-breaking judgment?"
Li Yi laughed and casually pulled off Zhang Hongchen's dress. The latter hung naked on the tree, his face flushed with shame. Li Yi said, "Look, this is a heart-breaking punishment. This sense of shame is the embodiment of conscience. Do you admit that you have a conscience now, Master Zhang?"
Zhang Hongchen said stubbornly with a red face: "Humph! It's not like I haven't shown it to men before, what's the big deal!"
Li Yi touched his chin and said, "Yeah, that's right. It would be a pity if you don't show off your great figure to the world. I heard that there is a punishment for sluts called parading through the streets on a wooden donkey. I can't make this wooden donkey, so why not parade it through the streets to see the effect first."
Zhang Hongchen stared at Li Yi and said only one word, but Li Yi put her down directly, and then pulled the chain and walked towards Linjiang City. It was late at night, and there were not many people in the wilderness, so Zhang Hongchen was not afraid, but when she saw the city of Linjiang, she stopped.
Zhang Hongchen pulled the chain and shouted, "Li Yi, what do you want?"
Li Yi asked directly without even turning his head: "Can you face your conscience now?"
Zhang Hongchen said: "I really don't want to hurt innocent people, but I also sincerely want to kill all the lustful and heartless people in this world!"
Hearing this, Li Yi took back the Liangtian Ruler, pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, and the shackles that locked Zhang Hongchen's hands and feet disappeared, turning into red talismans engraved on her wrists and ankles. Li Yi casually threw his Taoist robe over, Zhang Hongchen put on her clothes and belted her, then sat on a stone by the roadside, kneading her hands and ankles.
Li Yi sat next to her and asked, "Can you tell me about you and Haldir now?"
Zhang Hongchen looked at Li Yi unhappily and said, "There's nothing to say. Master saved me, taught me martial arts, and helped me to get revenge. My life belongs to her, and it's my duty to help her!"
Li Yi asked, "Help her rescue the Shura tribe? If the Shura tribe really returns to the human world, there will be another catastrophe between heaven and earth. Are you willing to see those innocent people die tragically?"
Zhang Hongchen chuckled and said, "For those poor people, what is the difference between this world and hell? They are all living in a state worse than death! It would be better to let the Shura clan rule this world. Although they will suffer the same hardships, at least there won't be so much deception and fraud."
Li Yi nodded and said, "That's true, but you overlooked one thing, which is hope. This world is a mess, but as long as people are alive, there is hope. No matter if you expect to have a full meal tomorrow or hope for a change of fortune, as long as there is hope, you can survive. As long as you survive, there is hope. This is why the human race has been passed down to this day.
Think about it, the gods and demons fell, the demons rose, and even the powerful gods and demons did not survive, but the weak human race survived to this day and became the master of heaven and earth. You can say that the human race is lucky or blessed by heaven, but the only truth is that you are alive, so you have to cherish your life and don't just give it to anyone. "
Zhang Hongchen asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Li Yi explained: "Do you think that Hadir saved you by chance? Do you think she taught you the technique to help you get revenge? No, you are wrong. Everything she did was to use you and make you her substitute."
Zhang Hongchen said disdainfully: "It's normal to find a substitute to hide your identity."
Li Yi asked: "Is it normal to let a substitute die for you?"
Zhang Hongchen sneered, "Isn't this what a stand-in is used for?" After saying that, she suddenly realized something and looked at Li Yi with a serious expression. The latter slowly told her the news he had received from his Taoist master, Shi Ling Zhenren, the leader of the Di Zong sect.
The soul-substitution technique is what allowed Hadir to avoid the calamity. To use the soul-substitution technique, one must first find a substitute, and this substitute is a scapegoat! This soul-substitution technique is an evil method of taking souls, merging souls, and transferring souls. When used in combination with the ghost-ling technique, it can deceive the heavens.
First of all, this substitute is not just a random one, it must be compatible with your soul. After finding a suitable substitute, use the ghost magic to control the substitute and let it play the role of the real body. Whether it is words, deeds, interests and hobbies, they must be exactly the same as the real body. Before the heavenly tribulation, you must also let the substitute believe that it is the real body, so that you can deceive the heaven.
The ghost magic is actually a kind of evil magic of soul control, which imposes a soul bondage on the substitute and makes the substitute act according to the wishes of the caster. When the substitute adapts to the new role, it enters the next stage.
As mentioned before, human memories are stored in the earth soul, and the soul-replacing technique of soul-stealing, soul-melting and soul-transferring only targets the heavenly and human souls. After the substitute enters the role, the caster will first extract a part of the substitute's heavenly and human souls, and then transfer a part of his own heavenly and human souls to the substitute.
Then, the real body and the substitute each merge their souls, and this is repeated several times until the heavenly soul and the human soul of the real body and the substitute are exactly the same. In addition, the earthly soul believes that it is the real body. At this time, the substitute has been deprived of everything, has lost its self, and has become a perfect substitute.
When the heavenly calamity comes, Heaven will use the Heavenly Soul to lock on to the person who is to bear the calamity, so the real body only needs to block the Heavenly Secrets and hide, and let the substitute die in the calamity, so that his life can be saved.
Because the heavenly soul and the human soul of the real body and the substitute are exactly the same, the two are actually one and the same, so after the substitute dies, the real body will become very weak due to the division and disappearance of the soul, and at this time the heavenly soul and the human soul must be replenished. The real body Li Yi died because of the heavenly soul and the human soul being taken away by Hadir.
After saying this, Li Yi said to Zhang Hongchen: "How could your previous dressing style still match that of the Central Plains people? Maybe you yourself don't even know that you are being controlled by someone.
Think about it, isn't your rescue of Yue Ying very similar to Haldir's rescue of you? Also think about your making Yue Ying your substitute, isn't it very similar to Haldir making you her substitute? Everything you do is subtly imitating her? You know the art of psychic magic, so you can definitely figure out the reason.
As far as I know, the last time Hadir survived a calamity was a year ago, and the next time will be in three years. If this continues, you will be the one to die in her place.
You said she saved you, taught you, helped you get revenge, and you were willing to give your life to her, but what if she was behind all this? What if all the suffering you experienced was planned by her in order to train you to be her substitute?
"Master Zhang, you should know how difficult it is to find someone who is compatible with your soul. But this person has been through so many disasters, yet he always survives. Don't you think this is too coincidental?"
Zhang Hongchen tried to recall and find evidence to refute Li Yi, but her experience did not give her any reason to refute. After a moment, she suddenly said, "No, I saved Yueying only out of kindness. I didn't intend to use her as a substitute at first!"
Li Yi shook his head and sighed, “Master Zhang, let’s make a bet. If Miss Yueying’s fate is not controlled by anyone and your saving her is just a coincidence, I will remove the soul-sealing lock and let you go. If not, I just hope you can try your best to make up for the mistakes you’ve made.”
Zhang Hongchen said coldly: "I killed evil people, what's wrong with that?"
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "No, I'm not referring to the people you killed, but helping Hadiel build and manage the Shura Palace. I hope you can make up for this mistake."
Zhang Hongchen was surprised and said, "You want me to help you wipe out Shura Palace? Don't waste your time, it's impossible! Even if Luo Yan dies, I'm the only one left as the leader of the four halls, and I don't have the final say over Shura Palace!"
Li Yi asked: "Who can take charge now?"
Zhang Hongchen replied: "The only one who can mobilize all the people in Shura Palace is Huangluxian, but he will definitely not show up, so you are dreaming if you want to summon Shura Palace!"
Li Yi asked again: "Then do you know where he is? Does Hadir know?"
Zhang Hongchen shook his head and said, "Of course, but she has already returned to the Western Regions. And there was another enemy, didn't he die in your hands? So now no one knows where the Yellow Luxian is."
Li Yi shook his head and sighed, "It seems to be very troublesome, but if you can gather all the people in Youling Hall, it will be a great achievement."
Zhang Hongchen said unhappily: "Our bet hasn't been decided yet, it's too early to talk about this now!"
