The Fourth Financial Crisis

Through observation, Yang Lu found that when Elder Ke Zheng cast spells after removing his disguise, strands of black energy continued to emerge from his body. However, his body had not yet become demonized, so these karma scattered everywhere were also It quickly dissipated automatically.

Despite this, the extent of his karma is already visible to the naked eye, and is only slightly better than the Mingzhu Ancestor sitting cross-legged in his cell.

When Wang Ziwei saw this, he showed a serious expression and said: "I knew you were already half possessed!"

Ke Zheng didn't know that Wang Zixiu practiced magic skills and had a unique sense of demonic energy. Ordinary blindness methods couldn't hide it from him, so he asked again: "How did you see it?"

Wang Ziwei did not answer Ke Zheng's question, but instead asked: "Elder Ke, why don't you answer Warden Fu's question first? What do you want to do after you have been lurking at the bottom of Qishan Prison for so many years?"

However, before Ke Zheng could answer, Yang Lu interrupted: "You don't need to ask anymore, I'm afraid this person is not Ke Zheng at all!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him in surprise.

Ke Zheng showed a very interested expression and said: "Interesting, I didn't expect so many great detectives to come to Qishan Prison today. First, someone saw that I was about to go crazy, and then someone saw that I was not Ke Zheng! "

Yang Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "So, you admit that you are not the real elder Ke Zheng?"

Elder Ke Zheng waved his hand and said, "You are all going to die soon anyway, so there is no need for me to hide my identity from you. But I am curious, why do you think I am not Ke Zheng?"

Noticing the curious looks of Ke Zheng and others, Yang Lu said calmly: "I'm not a great detective, but you just said, 'I want to wait for the Yuanying period ancestors of Liuyun Sect and Yuejian Mountain to come and deal with the aftermath. , it may take a long time.' This shows that you think that the ancestors of the Yuanying stage closest to Qishan Prison should come from Liuyun Sect and Yuejianshan, because the Aurora Pavilion further away also has ancestors of the Yuanying stage. Sitting in charge, but you did not mention the Aurora Pavilion Pavilion Master..."

Ke Zheng curled his lips and said: "Jiuguang Pavilion is nearly ten thousand miles away from Qishan Prison, while Yuejianshan and Liuyun Sect are less than four thousand miles away from Qishan Prison. I conclude that the Yuanying ancestors of their two families will be the first to rush there. Come on, is there any problem?"

"Of course there is a problem! Because the Nascent Soul Stage monk closest to Qishan Prison is clearly Yin Huaiyuan, the master of the Arctic Cold Palace, but you deliberately ignored Yin Huaiyuan!"

"What does this mean?"

"Everyone knows that Yin Huaiyuan has not left the Arctic Cold Palace for nearly eighty years to make a public appearance. He did not even attend the Monetary Policy Committee of the Lingshi Reserve Bank. Therefore, it is indeed unlikely that he will come to Qishan Prison, but How could Elder Ke Zheng, who is in prison, know about this kind of thing? "

At this point, everyone looked astonished.

The Nascent Soul Ancestor cells in Qishan Prison are all specially made. Without a prison visit permit, the people inside can neither hear nor see what is going on outside. Even if the prison guard wants to tell him the news happening outside, it is impossible.

Although it is not that no one has visited Ke Zheng over the years, Ke Zheng has always shown himself in a vegetative state. It is impossible for the visiting Guiyi Sect monks to introduce the latest situation in the Kyushu cultivation world to a vegetative person.

This means that the real Elder Ke Zheng has no way to know what happened in the past two hundred years.

Not to mention Ke Zheng, who has long been in a vegetative state.

The old inmate next door to Ke Zheng, Ming Zhu, didn't even know about the earth-shattering news like Li Qingyang's death. However, Ke Zheng, who had even less information, could even understand such a "little thing" as the master of the Arctic Cold Palace closed the door to thank guests all year round. Know.

How could this not arouse Yang Lu's suspicion?

Of course, Yang Lu is not the famous detective Conan, nor can he reason about everything around him. He can keenly detect the loopholes in Ke Zheng's words, mainly because he has suspected Ke Zheng from the beginning. Correct identity.

Because in Yang Lu's view, it is impossible for a normal person to play the role of a vegetative state for two hundred years.

Although the famous novel "Robinson Crusoe" on Earth is a fictional story, many of the plots in it are adapted from real events. There is a plot in it about a few years after Robinson Crusoe entered the desert island. I found that my language ability had deteriorated, so I had to take out the Bible I carried with me and read it aloud every day to maintain my language ability.

Although cultivators possess all kinds of incredible magical powers, they are still essentially normal human minds.

And if the old man in Taoist robes in front of him is really Elder Ke Zheng, he has been locked in a small cell for two hundred years and has never said a word to himself. I am afraid that he has lost his normal language ability long ago.

But now the other party talks surprisingly naturally!

Therefore, Yang Lu always suspected that there was something wrong with the other party's identity from the beginning, and followed this line of thinking to look for clues. Then he discovered the loopholes in Elder Ke Zheng's language. Combining these two pieces of evidence, Yang Lu immediately came to the conclusion:

The vegetative elder Ke Zheng next door can never act, and the guy in front of him is not the real Ke Zheng! As for why this person pretended to be Ke Zheng, Yang Lu couldn't guess.

After listening to Yang Lu's analysis, everyone showed expressions of admiration. Even Ancestor Mingzhu couldn't help but cast a searching gaze on his century-old prison cellmate.

"I didn't expect that I just accidentally let something slip, and you guys caught me!" Faced with Yang Lu's question, Elder Ke Zheng first praised expressionlessly, but soon changed the subject. , firmly denied: "It's a pity that although your reasoning is correct, your conclusion is completely wrong!"

Yang Lu's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean?"

Ke Zheng said solemnly: "I am the real Supreme Elder Ke Zheng of the Guiyi Sect. There is no impersonation. There is no need for me to lie to you ant-like low-level monks!"

Yang Lu narrowed her eyes and said, "Could it be said that Ke Zheng, who was imprisoned next door to Ancestor Mingzhu, is the fake?"

Ke Zheng denied again: "Of course not! I was indeed imprisoned in Qishan Prison by you for more than two hundred years!"

This is simply talking nonsense with open eyes!

After hearing this, Yang Lu already suspected that the other party was deliberately playing a trick on him.

Not only Yang Lu, but also Cheng Shida had no intention of playing reasoning games with "Elder Ke Zheng" and directly interrupted: "Elder Ke, I don't care what your identity is, I think we can all talk about it. Let's come to the rescue today." Wang Sandao is not for ourselves, but represents the will of the ancestors of the Yuan Ying stage of the seven major sects of Kyushu. As long as you can agree to our request and walk on both sides of the road, we can completely compensate you accordingly! "

However, Elder Ke Zheng suddenly burst out laughing and said in shocking words: "Cheng Shida, from the first day you came to Qishan Prison, I knew you were not a good person!"

Cheng Shida suddenly frowned and said, "I have never been to the bottom floor of Qishan Prison. When have I seen you again?"

Ke Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and said mockingly: "What a good Cheng Shida! We just chatted half an hour ago, and you don't recognize me so quickly?"

Did Ke Zheng just chat with Cheng Shida?

Hearing Elder Ke Zheng's unsurprising speech, not only everyone showed shocked expressions, but even Cheng Shida himself was confused: "When did I talk to you?"

Ke Zheng smiled strangely and said: "Have you forgotten? The application to adjust the guard schedule of Qishan Prison was approved by me personally!"

"I adjusted the prison schedule, and it was obviously approved by the prison director Chu Zhe personally!"

"Yes, that was indeed approved by me personally. I knew at that time that you suddenly mobilized so many people, and you were definitely going to make big news for me. But I never expected that you would be so bold as to release Wang San directly. knife!"

What does it mean?

What Ke Zheng means... is he Chu Zhe himself?

This ridiculous statement made everyone stunned.

After a moment of silence, Wang Ziwei seemed to suddenly think of something, and said in a trembling voice: "I understand! Chu Zhe should be your incarnation! You actually took the body of your own disciple and refined it into an incarnation. Incarnation! This is why you are like this karma-ridden person!"

Seeing that Yang Lu was still a little confused, Wang Ziwei explained at a very fast speed: "Seizing the body is the most vicious spell in the world of cultivation. It can erase the consciousness of other cultivators and forcibly seize their bodies. The success rate of this spell Extremely low, as long as it fails, both parties who seize the body will be dead. And no matter how high the caster's previous merit accumulation is, after successfully using this spell, the merit accumulation will directly return to zero. Often only those desperate practitioners in the world of cultivation will You guys would only use such extreme measures before you die, hoping to use other people’s bodies to continue living.”

Yang Lu continued to ask: "What about the external incarnation?"

"Incarnation outside the body is a way of seizing a body. When the caster successfully seizes another person's body, he can also choose to retain his original body. This is equivalent to the caster being able to control two bodies with the same soul. However, he can only choose one body as his own body, and the other body can only become the so-called incarnation. Incarnations can neither practice nor accumulate merit. Ke Zheng should have taken away his disciple Chu Zhe and took Chu Zhe's body. As the original body, he regards his original body as his incarnation, which is why Ke Zheng’s cultivation has not improved at all in the past two hundred years!”

Fu Zhibin also said immediately: "No wonder! Ke Zheng has the top-grade Golden Spiritual Root Qualification, and Chu Zhe also has the top-grade Golden Spiritual Root Qualification, and they both came from the same school and practiced the same technique. In addition, Ke was at the Nascent Soul Stage at that time. A monk, and Chu Zhe is a monk in the foundation-building stage. There is a two-level difference in cultivation between the two. He has met all the three major conditions for seizing the body! In order to survive, he actually used this method on his apprentice. Forbidden technique!"

Ke Zheng chuckled and said: "In that battle at the Wuliang Mountains, my Dantian Qihai was severely damaged by Wang Sandao. No matter how hard I practiced, there was no progress at all, and the road to immortality was in vain. In order to get a chance to start over, I have no choice but to fight in danger, and I have wronged my good apprentice Chu Zhe!"

Is that so?

While everyone was in shock, Fu Zhibin, who was the first to come to his senses, asked in a deep voice: "Then should we call you Warden Chu now, or should we call you Elder Ke?"

Ke Zheng chuckled and said: "The past is in the past. Ke Zheng's life has ended long ago. You should still call me Chu Zhe. In the past two hundred years, I have long been accustomed to others calling me Chu Zhe."

The conversation between several people also made Yang Lu look astonished.

It turns out that Ke Zheng did not go crazy at all after his cultivation foundation was destroyed by Wang Sandao two hundred years ago. Instead, he chose to use the most sinister body-seizing technique in the world of cultivation to seize the body of his direct disciple!

And now there is a perfect explanation as to why Ke Zheng was imprisoned in Qishan Prison.

Just as Yang Lu had guessed before, a normal person would have gone insane after being locked up in a small cell for hundreds of years. The reason why Mingzhu Patriarch did not go completely crazy was simply because he spent most of his time using He passed the time by practicing in seclusion. Even in the remaining time, he was thinking about the mystery of the world of Kyushu and the ascended immortals.

But even so, Mingzhu's spirit is still not stable.

However, not only did Ke Zheng not pass the time by practicing, he even didn't even move at all. This is why everyone thought that Ke Zheng was completely crazy.

But if Ke Zheng is just an incarnation, then all the problems can be explained, because Ke Zheng usually acts as Chu Zhe outside, and what remains at the bottom of Qishan Prison is his own incarnation. If Ke Zheng If he doesn't separate his consciousness from Chu Zhe's body, then Ke Zheng, who is at the bottom of Qishan Prison, will be a complete and complete vegetative state!

After thinking about this, no one asked why Ke Zheng wanted to lock up his original body.

Seizing the body is recognized as the number one forbidden technique in the Kyushu cultivation world. In particular, seizing the body not only requires the caster and the victim to practice the same technique, but also requires both to have the same or even higher quality spiritual root qualifications.

You must know that except for the evildoer Tian Daxiao, none of the ancestors of the Yuanying stage of various sects have worse spiritual roots than the best spiritual roots. This means that if the ancestors of the Yuanying stage want to start a second life, they must deal with it. The genius disciple under his own sect committed a murderous attack.

It would be fine if the success rate of this forbidden technique was high, but the success rate of seizing the body is less than 20%. If high-level monks from all major cultivation sects were fooling around like this, the talented cultivation seedlings from each sect would probably be They were all killed by the ancestors whose time was approaching.

Because of this, all the major cultivation sects have unanimously listed the technique of seizing a body as a mortal sin in their sect rules!

Yang Lu has already realized that Ke Zheng chose to imprison himself in Qishan Prison probably to escape the excommunication of Guiyi Sect Rules, because he had no other choice at all!
