Bai Lixin and Liao Sufan flipped through the museum’s ancient books for a long time. The introduction on the Heavenly Sea King was only a few words.
The only thing is that he was the younger brother of the emperor at that time. He was highly favored, weak, and sick. The emperor, in pity for his suffering, made him a vassal king early on and gave him the title of Heavenly Sea King.
After that, there was no more information about the life of the Sea King. They had no luck, so they went back to the library in Fengcheng.
Liao Sufan directly sealed off the whole library. There was no one else except Bai Lixin, Liao Sufan, and Huang Hongyuan. Bai Lixin threw out some paper children transformed and asked them to help him find clues about the Sea King.
The children were jumping up and down and moving around. Bai Lixin opened a book and skimmed through it in a single glance, finishing it in a few moments.
In front of him were a dozen books laid out. As he read through the books in front of him, the paper children would come over and take them back to the shelves, inserting them in their original places. At the same time, another group of paper children would bring him new books.
Seeing another pile of books, Bai Lixin stretched and rubbed his eyes before continuing.
At another desk, a loud shout suddenly burst out from Huang Hongyuan, “Come here quickly! I found something! “
Bai Lixin no longer held on to the books in front of him and put them down before striding over to Huang Hongyuan’s side.
Huang Hongyuan was holding a yellowing book in his hand. The book was bound with a lock thread and looked very old. Peach sat by Huang Hongyuan’s side, like a competent protector.
Huang Hongyuan scratched his head and said, “I found quite an unofficial history here. The content of this book must have been a bit treacherous at that time.”
Bai Lixin took the book, and Liao Sufan looked down, and they read it carefully.
The description of the Heavenly Sea King in this book was very different from the previous books in official history. It was written that the late emperor passed the throne to the new emperor, who then made the Heavenly Sea king a vassal king.
But the Heavenly Sea king was full of ambition, and he was not happy that he was weak and sickly and that his time was coming.
So he learnt the art of Taoism and alchemy to live forever and change his fate. But that was only the beginning; what he really wanted to do was to usurp power.
Except that what he learnt was not the righteous way, but an evil art. An evil spell that required him to suck the lives and souls of others to continue his own life.
The Sea King had a beloved queen named Taiyi. She could not bear the thought of the King being blinded by the evil magic, so she asked for her brother’s help her. Taiyi’s brother, who was the emperor’s confidant, told him all the Sea King’s secrets he got from Taiyi.
The emperor was furious when he learned of the Sea King’s doings and ordered Taiyi’s brother to give her the most poisonous medicine in the world, claiming that it was an antidote from an immortal overseas and would bring the Heavenly Sea King to his senses.
Taiyi didn’t doubt him. When she returned, she secretly poured the poison into his tea.
When she found out that she had been deceived, she killed herself.
The eyes of the Sea King were wide open and terrifying when he died. He had eaten people’s hearts and souls just before his death, which frightened the emperor. He then asked the Taoist priests to suppress the Sea King under his palace, so that his soul would be imprisoned in the palace for eternity with no chance of reincarnation.
Bai Lixin and the rest saw this unique unofficial history and felt it was extremely unfortunate.
“Fang Xuelin was wearing a phoenix robe, so if the description in the unofficial history is correct, does that mean that Fang Xuelin is the reincarnation of Taiyi described in the unofficial history?” Bai Lixin rubbed his chin and pondered.
“The description of eating a human heart to renew his life is also very consistent with the recent cases. And the fact that Xian Zhi couldn’t find the souls of the deceased was because they were used as a tonic! “ Liao Sufan tapped the table, stringing together the things that had happened before, and they all hit the mark.
A more frightening existence… S419M, is the Heavenly Sea King the more frightening existence you were talking about?
A fierce soul that has accumulated more than four thousand years of resentment and captivity, unable to pass on to the next life, and has absorbed countless souls…
The atmosphere in the library was silent, with only the sound of paper children slowly packing up books in the library.
After a long time, Huang Hongyuan swallowed his saliva and said, “Should we go back or continue to check?”
Bai Lixin shook his head, “Actually, I’ve already gone through everything I could in the library.”
Liao Sufan also shook his head, “Me too. Let’s go back first. We can discuss how to proceed after we get back.”
After the paper children had packed everything, they went back to the Wen family residence with heavy faces.
Elder Wen was still following Bai Lixin’s instructions to never go out until he returned.
He looked at the sky as he held Chonglian in his arms and saw it clearing up. He breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not let Chonglian go out.
Chonglian was very understanding, and he did not cry or make a fuss about staying in the small study.
After waiting all day and night for Bai Lixin to return, Elder Wen was tired, so he hugged Chonglian and lay down with him on a soft couch. Some of the servants could not hold on any longer and lay on the floor, while some leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
When Bai Lixin came back, he saw the people’s sleeping faces and was slightly relieved. He knocked gently on the door and woke up those who had fallen asleep: “Those who are up should go back to their rooms and have a good sleep; it’s all right for now.”
Everyone woke up in a haze, but Chonglian was the first to wake up. He saw Bai Lixin, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, and immediately jumped off the couch and into his arms: “Father, you’re back.”
Bai Lixin smiled, and his heart melted into a puddle of water.
He squatted down and looked at the innocent Chonglian and then at Elder Wen, who had just opened his eyes on the couch. The hand that was about to gently stroke Chonglian’s soft hair suddenly stalled, and a terrible suspicion came to his mind.
Bai Lixin stood up and stared at the confused Chonglian with a frown. He closed his eyes and bit his finger before dabbing blood on Chonglian’s forehead.
As the spell was recited, Chonglian’s past lives appeared in his mind. The figures kept changing. He was sometimes a man, sometimes a rabbit, sometimes a falcon, and at times a man again, while the clothes on his body kept changing with the times. When his costume became that of the pre-Qin style, Bai Lixin shouted in his mind: “Stop!”
The memories then stopped at a handsome man, and Bai Lixin was shocked as he looked through the memories of this life.
No wonder Fang Xuelin was so against Wen Xuyao, Chonglian’s previous life.
4,000 years ago, Chonglian was Taiyi’s brother, the man who had given his sister the poison!
Bai Lixin took his hand off Chonglian’s forehead and came to Elder Wen with a tangled expression and said in a low voice, “Elder Wen, I need to verify something, so please forgive me for offending you.”
Elder Wen had already dropped his wariness of Bai Lixin. He smiled and said, “It’s fine, do as you please.”
Bai Lixin nodded and, similarly, began to search through Elder Wen’s past lives.
Elder Wen’s past lives also kept changing, his costumes slowly moving forward, and finally, when his figure turned into a handsome man wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, Bai Lixin stopped.
Bai Lixin again went over the memories of that life, and his expression became even more tangled.
He smiled a little feebly, “You two go back to your rooms and rest. I have things to do in the study with Commissioner Huang and Lord Liao.”
He looked at Elder Wen and wanted to say something more, but his open mouth closed again.
When they came to the study, Bai Lixin slammed the door shut and let out a long breath of relief.
Although Liao Sufan didn’t know what was going on in the old man’s study just now, he knew Bai Lixin must have found out something.
Liao Sufan saw him frowning and frowned along with him, “What’s wrong?”
Bai Lixin wailed and slumped into a chair, sitting helplessly on it, “There’s something wrong with the unofficial history too. What kind of dog blood drama is this?”
“What’s wrong?”
“The Heavenly Sea King ate hearts and sucked souls to prolong his life, and his queen, Taiyi, was so scared that she went to her brother for help and shelter. She told her brother about the Sea King. Worried that his sister would be harmed by the Sea King, he asked the emperor for help. The emperor was afraid of the Sea King’s ambition and unknown power and only wanted to kill the Sea King before he could grow stronger. So the emperor gave the brother poison, telling him that it was a divine medicine that he had begged for to save the Sea King. The brother then passed the medicine on to his sister, who in turn fed it to the Sea King. At that time, the Heavenly Sea King spat out poisoned blood, stopped breathing, and his body was cold, so Taiyi thought he was dead and killed herself in regret. Before she died, she cursed her brother and said that she would not spare him even if she was a ghost in the next life.”
“However, the Sea King did not die. He had already become an evil spirit from the time he began eating hearts and absorbing souls. No longer a human being, how could a ghost die? So when the Sea King woke up to find his beloved queen dead, he was thunderstruck and wanted to turn the world upside down. Likewise, the death of his sister caused Taiyi’s brother to hold a grudge against the emperor. The emperor had to swallow the bitter fruit he had sown, and he still had to clean up the mess. The emperor gathered all the cultivators in the world and tried his best to seal the Heavenly Sea King away.”
The Heavenly Sea King’s resentful soul always attracted the other three souls toward him, and as long as the Heavenly Sea King did not die, the sinful bond between them would never end.
No wonder Wen Xuyao always tried to get close to Fang Xuelin, while Fang Xuelin always had the utmost malice towards him. There was a deep hatred burned into his soul that had not faded away in 4,000 years.
Elder Wen was the very same deceptive emperor from four thousand years ago, and he now paid for it with life and death.
If the Heavenly Sea King was not killed, then the three of them would continue this entanglement in the future without rest.
Bai Lixin and Liao Sufan flipped through the museum’s ancient books for a long time. The introduction on the Heavenly Sea King was only a few words.
