Chapter 15 The true identity of the corpse and Li Daozong's speculation

"Since you and the senior are of the same lineage, you can't let him be exposed in the wilderness. Just bury his body! It's also a filial piety on your part."

"Yes, Grandpa!"

Then the two came to the stone bed in the inner room and prepared to pick up the broken bones.

"Wait!"

Li Dao Zong suddenly raised his hand to stop his grandson's action.

"No, Sheng'er, didn't you say that your master came to this world with consciousness and couldn't take over another body? Then this body can't be his!"

Li Dao Zong suddenly woke up and thought of the key to the problem.

"This...?"

Li Changsheng was also stunned when he heard this, not knowing what was going on.

In fact, Li Changsheng fell into a thinking error. He saw the body on the stone bed when he entered this secret room, and he had been talking to a piece of jade bone that had been separated from the body. He had the inherent impression that this was Yang Dingtian's body.

"Grandpa guessed that this corpse was probably left behind by your cheap master after he took over another body. This can explain why this corpse appeared here."

"After all, you said that he had been dead for thousands of years. Even if he wanted to leave you a legacy, if he didn't find a carrier to take over another body, his soul would have dissipated long ago. Moreover, the methods of a Mahayana cultivator are beyond our knowledge. Don't be too naive."

Li Dao Zong slowly expressed his guess. After all, he has lived for hundreds of years. Whether it is knowledge or experience, he is not comparable to Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng also felt that what his grandfather said made sense. Maybe his master lied to him, and this corpse was left behind by taking over another body.

"Sheng'er, it's easy to say that you can take over someone's body, but it's very difficult to do it. This is related to a person's soul and willpower."

"Even if the soul of a person with a strong will dissipates, his willpower will always affect his body, making the cultivation path of the person who takes over the body extremely difficult."

"Suppose this corpse is left by your master after taking over the body, the willpower of this corpse itself will affect your master's cultivation, and even make him have a demon in his heart. In addition to the qualifications of this body itself, as well as factors such as cultivation resources, it is not surprising that he died of old age."

Possession is not the same as reincarnation. In essence, it is a process in which a soul occupies a new body, but it can never become the original person. It is difficult for the two to be 100% compatible.

Just like the soul of an ant occupies the body of an elephant, although the elephant's soul dissipates, unless the elephant voluntarily allows itself to be taken over, the elephant's instinctive will to survive will always affect the habits of the ant.

If anyone can take over someone's body, then the strong will always be strong, and the weak will become weaker and weaker. As long as any genius is found, they can be captured and taken over. Just like competing for resources, geniuses become the targets of the strong.

"Grandpa, my master's nickname is Yang Lao Mo!"

Li Changsheng said a little embarrassedly.

"Yang Lao Mo!"

Li Dao Zong did not react at all when he heard it, but said solemnly: "Sheng'er, there is only right and wrong in this world, not good and evil. As long as you think it is right, you should do it. You don't need to care about the eyes of others. You have strengthened yourself, so why should you care about others saying you are a fairy or a demon? You must remember this."

"Grandson remembers it!"

Li Changsheng nodded seriously.

"Yeah!"

"What your cheap master said is true or false, but no matter what, the method he taught you to directly reach the immortal path is true, you should bury it!"

"Yes!"

Li Changsheng carefully picked up the broken bone fragments and packed them up, ready to take them out to find a place to bury them. He planned to use this place as his own cave.

"Eh!"

"Grandpa, look at this...?"

After collecting the fragments of the corpse, Li Changsheng picked up a black robe that the corpse had worn before his death, with the three characters "Li Zhenyuan" embroidered on the left sleeve.

Qing Chang Zhen Shou Dao, Tong Chang Yun Xuan Yang, Xiu Zheng Ren Yi Xin, Shi Jing Rong Chang Ping, Zong Yan Fu Zi Cheng, Xian Ming Gu Shun Xiang are the Li family's generation names.

Li Changsheng silently glanced at the left sleeve of his clothes, on which the three small characters "Li Changsheng" were embroidered.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, and they both knew the origin of the corpse.

After a long silence, Li Dao Zong broke the silence and introduced to Li Changsheng: "According to the family records, the Zhenyuan Patriarch is ranked fifteenth in the Zhen generation. He is the youngest in the Zhen generation, but he has the highest talent. He has the dual spiritual roots of water and fire, and he was also the first genius in the family at that time."

"The Zhenyuan Patriarch practiced the Qingyun Patriarch's technique [Canglang Zhenjing] and was the focus of the family's training. He established his foundation at the age of forty, reached the middle stage of the foundation at the age of seventy, and reached the late stage of the foundation at the age of one hundred and twenty. Then he left the family to find the opportunity to form a pill and never returned."

"The family judged that he had died after his soul lamp went out. They also sent people to look for his bones, but they didn't expect that they were in the family. Now you have found it. I have to say that fate is playing tricks on people!"

Li Dao Zong said with a sigh. When he was a child, he was lucky enough to meet Li Zhenyuan a few times, and he didn't see him again after that.

Li Changsheng was silent. The ancestor of his family was possessed by the enemy and his body was still warm. However, he worshipped the enemy as his master. If the descendants of the Zhenyuan ancestor knew his behavior, he would not know how to face it.

Thinking about it, Li Changsheng began to regret, and a trace of black air appeared in his eyes.

Li Daozong saw that something was wrong and immediately shouted in a deep voice.

"Wake up!"

The voice was deafening and was particularly loud in this small secret room.

"Huh? Grandpa, what happened to me just now?"

Only after hearing Li Daozong's voice did Li Changsheng come out of his immersion and look at his grandfather with a guilty face.

"Huh!"

Li Daozong exhaled lightly, then touched Li Changsheng's head with heartache, and comforted him softly: "Sheng'er, cultivating immortals is against the will of heaven. Everyone has their own destiny. You don't have to feel guilty, understand?"

Li Changsheng is still young and has no experience. Once he encounters these things and can't figure them out, it is easy to fall into his own knot and be unable to extricate himself, thus breeding inner demons.

"Fortunately I was there, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Li Daozong was scared.

"But grandpa, my master..."

"No buts, today's matter is known to heaven and earth, you and me, and you don't have to tell anyone. The era of the True Source Ancestor has passed, and now it is your era."

Although Li Daozong also hated Li Changsheng's master, he had to do so for his grandson.

Now he guessed that the reason why Li Changsheng's master left the inheritance to his grandson was very likely related to the True Source Ancestor, or there might be some deal.

He didn't believe that someone would deliberately give the inheritance for no reason, and he didn't believe that a cultivator who could cultivate to the Mahayana stage would be a good person.

"Sheng'er, we don't know what happened between the True Source Ancestor and your master. Everything we said is just speculation."

"Now that the True Source Ancestor and your master are gone, you don't have to take it to heart. Now you have a technique that matches your own physique. It's only a matter of time to become stronger. If you have the heart in the future, you can take care of the descendants of the True Source Ancestor's lineage."

Li Daozong was afraid that Li Changsheng would think stubbornly, so he could only comfort him patiently.

"Thank you grandpa for your guidance, grandson understands!"

"Haha! I'm glad you can figure it out!"

"Grandpa, what about the bones of the True Source Ancestor?"

"Leave this to grandpa, you can send the bodies of the tribesmen we found down the mountain!"

"Yes!"
