Chapter 19 Chapter 19 The Truth

When Wuji was watching the terrain on Lion Mountain, Wei Fengniang just made a decision. She decided to go back to the Zhao mansion. Because she thought it was unwise to rush away, and she didn't want Ling Wuji to have any regrets in her heart. But she didn't know that it would be unwise for her not to rush to Shangguanbao, and it would be enough to make Wuji regret for life. Tang Hua didn't mean to lie to her.He also thought that Wuji and Shangguan Ren must have finished the desperate battle after rushing to Shangguan Fort, and he really had good intentions. He also didn't know that the date agreed between Shangguan Ren and Wuji would be tomorrow, because he always thought that Wuji would rush to Shangguan Castle non-stop, and he never thought that Wuji would actually take a rest to recharge his batteries.

It was such a mistake that Wei Fengniang decided not to go to Shangguanbao. Is this the so-called fate?Unchangeable fate? Wuji didn't go back to the inn, he stayed in the Lion Mountain, because he found a flat big rock on the Lion Mountain, and it was very comfortable to lie on. He lay on the rock all day long, watching the white clouds float in and out of the sky, enjoying the leisure before the decisive battle. He felt very strange to himself, why didn't he feel any pressure at all?Even the desire for revenge seems to have faded. He likes this kind of mood, because during the duel, if he can maintain a normal mind, the Lingtai will naturally become ethereal, and his martial arts can be fully displayed.

In such a mood, Wuji fell asleep unknowingly. Wake up, the sky is full of twinkling stars, very beautiful.He stared at those eternal stars obsessively, saw the scene of a stick of incense, and then sat up to meditate and practice. The sky has gradually brightened up. Wuji stood up, holding the sword in his hand, jumped off the boulder, and walked towards the place where the lion's entrance and exit must pass. He stood, looking at the mountain road coming up, he saw a figure coming up, yes, that figure was Shangguan Ren. He left immediately and walked to the open space that he had looked at yesterday, and he chose a position in the middle to the right to stand.

The Shangguan Blade has arrived. He walked to about ten feet in front of Wuji, stopped, and said, "The purpose of your coming is to find me?" Mowgli nodded. "What's up?" "Have." "What's up?" "I'm going to kill you." Wuji said calmly, the calmness of his voice made him have to admire his own performance. However, Shangguan Yan's performance was calmer than him, Shangguan Yan just said lightly: "Oh?" Then, both fell silent and looked at each other for a moment.Afterwards, Shangguan Ren said: "Why?"

"Because you killed my father." "Didn't you already know about the White Jade Tiger's plan?" "That's right, but I didn't know there was a plan to carve dragons from white jade." "White jade carving dragon?" "Yes, you must be surprised, how would I know about this plan?" "I'm surprised, what kind of plan is this?" "Don't you know?" "I have no idea." "Stop pretending, Shangguan Yan." Wuji's voice became a little excited: "You murdered my father." "I don't understand what you're talking about?"

"It was you who poisoned my father with chronic poison. My father got the so-called incurable disease. You have the opportunity to carry out the White Jade Tiger's plan. You have been bribed by Tang Jiabao, right?" Shangguan Ren stared at Zhao Wuji with wide eyes, and after a while, he said, "Do you have evidence?" "Have." "there?" "It's my dad's diary." "Your father's diary?" Shangguan Ren asked in surprise, "Does your father keep a diary?" "You don't know, do you? This is my father's secret. He recorded all kinds of doubts and verifications in his diary."

"You believe it?" "I have no reason not to believe it." "So you want to kill me to avenge your father?" "Yes." Wuji said calmly: "However, I will give you a fair chance, right here, let's fight." As he spoke, his whole body started to get lucky. Shangguan Ren smiled, there was a bit of misery and helplessness in the smile, but Wuji didn't notice it. Shangguan Ren knew that this must be a conspiracy of the Tang family, he was more like Tao, it was useless to explain to Wuji, how could Wuji believe his own explanation? So what should he do?A duel with Wuji is a battle of life and death.If he had a chance to win, would he have the heart to kill Wuji?

Otherwise, would he let himself die in Wuji's hands for no reason? Shangguan Ren suddenly didn't know what to do. However, he didn't bring a weapon with him when he came up the mountain this time, so he looked at the long sword in Wuji's hand and subconsciously mobilized his inner strength unconsciously. When he got lucky, he realized that he couldn't gather his inner strength no matter what. How could this be?His face changed slightly, and he began to trace his life these days. He thought that since his daughter came to Shangguanbao, he hadn't practiced martial arts, so, obviously, the problem of his lack of internal energy must have happened during these days.

He suddenly felt a chill hit his heart. Because he thought that he had always been careful to prevent the Tang family from poisoning him, and the only thing he didn't pay attention to during these days was the ginseng soup that his daughter brought him before going to bed every day. Could it be that his daughter poisoned him? Has Shangguan Lianlian been bought by the Tang family?No, it's impossible, the Tang family must have put the poison into the ginseng soup when Lian Lian was not paying attention. He suddenly understood the whole conspiracy of the Tang family. The purpose of the Tang family was nothing more than to use Wuji's hand to get rid of himself.This is a series of tricks, first let Wuji misunderstand that he is the murderer of his father, and then use Lianlian to manipulate him to make his internal strength disappear, so that Wuji can defeat him in one fell swoop.

The Tang family did this, indicating that they had wanted to get rid of themselves a long time ago, and the purpose of using Wuji was nothing more than to make others feel bad, so that no one would dare to take refuge in Tangjiabao again. After he figured it out, he felt calm for a while. Death was nothing to fear, but he couldn't die like this. He had to seek justice from the Tang family. That is to say, he couldn't die right now. Therefore, he said to Wuji, "Can this duel be postponed?" "No." Wuji said. "Uncle Shangguan's request to you is not allowed?"

"You are no longer my uncle." "Aren't you afraid of regretting it?" "What do I have to regret?" "Aren't you afraid that this is Tangjiabao's conspiracy?" Wuji was stunned for a moment, then stared at Shangguan Ren in a daze. "Have you ever thought about it?" Shangguan Ren said again: "Tang Jiabao wants to get rid of me, but it is inconvenient to do it himself, lest no one dares to take refuge in the future, so he planned to come and kill me?" "It's possible." Wuji said, "But I don't believe it." "why?" "Because this method is too stupid." "How did you see that?" "Your martial arts are superior to mine, wouldn't it be unwise to use me to kill you?" "Then why do you still dare to come to me?" "Father's hatred cannot be avenged. If you know that you can't do it, you will do it. When you are desperate, many things are unpredictable." "That means you have the possibility to kill me, right?" "good." "What you want, will Tang Ao of the Tang family want it?" "Yes." Wuji said, "However, I still don't believe this is a conspiracy." "Then I tell you, I was also poisoned, will you believe it?" "You?" Wuji stared at Shangguan Ren and said. "Yes, it's the chronic poison that I've just been exposed to in the past few days. I got lucky just now and found that the inner breath is not flowing at all." "real?" "Really, why should I lie to you? Am I a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" "How could it be such a coincidence?" "Only carefully designed things will make people feel coincidental, don't you think?" "Not necessarily, haven't you heard of the idiom that is seamless?" "You still don't believe me?" "I have no reason to believe you." "You just want to fight to the death with me?" "Never die!" Wuji said firmly. Shangguan Ren looked at Wuji steadfastly, and after a long time, he said: "Okay! I think it's time to tell the truth, come here, and I will tell you the whole story, and you will believe me .” As he said that, Shangguan Yan took the lead and Wuji followed him. Coincidentally, the place where Shangguanyan led Wuji was the flat boulder. Shangguan Ren sat down and motioned for Wuji to sit down too.Wuji put the sword in front of him and sat opposite Shangguan Ren. Shangguan Ren looked at Wuji and said, "Do you know when you were born?" Wuji suddenly asked such a question to Shangguandao, he felt surprised in his heart, but he replied, "Of course I know." "You were born on the fifth day of November, right?" It is not unusual for Shangguan Ren to know his own birthday, he has known his father for so many years, of course his father would tell him.However, he remembered so clearly, which surprised Wuji. Wuji nodded and said, "Not bad." "There is a cyan birthmark on the right side of your left leg." "Why did Dad tell you this too?" Shangguan Ren smiled bitterly, and said again: "You remember when you were three years old, you fell from a tree and left a big lump on your left forehead. Do you remember what tree it was?" Wuji shook his head. "It was a big banyan tree. At that time, your mother took you to play in the back garden. If you didn't pay attention, you disappeared. She called your name everywhere, but you ignored her. She was so anxious that she was about to cry. You just yelled 'mother' from the tree, and your mother was anxious and angry, and cursed at her mouth, and you fell from the tree when you were startled." Shangguan Ren spoke eloquently, with a look of reminiscence on his face among. The more Wuji listened, the more surprised he felt. This happened many years ago, and he didn't even know it. How could Uncle Shangguan remember it so clearly? "And when you were twelve years old." Shangguan Ren said again: "You practiced swords with your father, your father accidentally stabbed your left arm, does it still leave a scar?" Wuji remembered this incident, he couldn't help lifting up his clothes, looked at the scar on his arm, and said, "It's still there!" Shangguan Ren smiled wryly again, and said: "You were stabbed, and you didn't even groan, and continued to practice swords with your father, the bright red blood splashed with your beating body, your father's mood, is it true?" Both heartache and admiration." "How do you know how my father feels?" Shangguan Ren smiled bitterly and said: "How can I know your father's mood? I know everything about your father better than anyone else." Wuji was slightly startled, and said: "Of course, you have been with my father for so many years, so of course you know more than anyone else." "No, I mean, I know as much as your father knows." "Why? Does my father tell you everything?" "is it possible?" "Of course it's impossible." Wuji said, "But, how do you know about my father as much as my father?" "Under what circumstances do you think this will happen?" Wuji thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "I can't think of it." "How come? It's actually very simple!" Wuji was taken aback, and stared blankly at Shangguan Ren, then he suddenly opened his mouth wide and said in extreme surprise, "Unless..." Shangguan Ren nodded and said, "That's right, unless I'm your father, right?" Yes, this is exactly what Wuji wanted to say, but is it possible?So Wuji didn't finish his sentence. Shangguan Ren and Wuji looked at each other for a long time before saying: "You still don't understand?" "What do I understand?" "I am your father!" Shangguan Ren's voice suddenly changed, completely different from his original voice. When Wuji heard that voice, before he finished listening to the words, his whole body was already shaken. After listening to the words, his body couldn't help shaking slightly, and he said in a trembling voice: "You...you... ..." "I'm your father!" Shangguan Ren still said in Wuji's most familiar voice. Wuji's head felt dizzy.Yes, this voice is indeed a voice that has been heard for many years, but the person in front of him is obviously Uncle Shangguan?How could it be his father? He stared at Shangguan Yan intently, trying to find some clues from Shangguan Yan's face, but, except for the voice, he could not see anything suspicious at all. Shangguan Ren's face is not at all like the face wearing a human skin mask, not to mention, his own father is so familiar to him, how could he not see any signs? Shangguan Ren smiled and said, "You can't tell." "Can't see anything?" "My looks have undergone surgery." "I do not believe." "I know you won't believe it, because even your Uncle Shangguan and I didn't believe it back then, let alone you now?" Shangguan Ren's tone was Zhao Jian's tone. Wuji's eyes were wide open, he really couldn't believe what the person in front of him said, even if he was killed. However, Shangguan Ren spoke again, and he said, "Have you ever heard of the three words "husband and wife face?" "I heard." "Do you know the meaning of these three words?" "I know, it's just that a couple has lived together for a long time, and the appearance of the two people has become very similar." "That's right, but after a long time, friends will look alike, you know? Your father and I have worked together for more than 20 years, and our looks are very similar. Did you notice that?" Shangguan Ren paused for a moment, He added: "Of course you won't notice it, because we didn't even notice it ourselves, but one person did." "Oh? Who is it?" "It's the master Li Tianhui." "The masterful Li Tianhui?" "Do you know this person?" "I've heard of it, but isn't he just a legend?" "No, there really is someone." "Is there a real person? Is he really as powerful as in the legends, can change a person's appearance to be exactly like another person?" "I'm not a living example?" Wuji looked at Shangguan Ren carefully for a long time, and said, "I still don't believe it." "Why don't you believe it?" Shangguan Yan said: "Okay, I'll tell you one more thing, would you like to listen again?" Wuji didn't answer, just stared at him. "Do you remember what happened in the fall three years ago?" "I remember." After thinking for a while, Wuji said, "You and Dad disappeared for half a month." Speaking of this, Wuji suddenly opened his mouth wide and said, "Could it be..." "That's right, we met Li Tianhui." Shangguan Ren said in a tone of reminiscence: "When he saw us, he was very surprised and kept screaming." "why?" "He said that he has seen a lot of couple faces, but he has never seen friend faces. At that time, we were surprised and asked him what is friend face, and he said that it is the same as husband and wife face. similar." When Shangguan Ren said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "This Li Tianhui asked us a very unique question." "What's the problem?" Wuji asked. "He asked us if we would like to change our roles. We didn't quite understand what he meant, and he said that he had a way to swap our looks with each other." Wuji stopped talking, because Shangguan Ren's words were so mysterious and strange that he didn't know whether to believe it or not. Shangguan Ren ignored Wuji's expression, and continued to tell the story of three years ago. It turned out that after listening to Li Tianhui's words, Shangguan Ren and Zhao Jian were very interested in changing their appearances, because they both thought that if they exchanged their identities, there might be some unexpected gains.Anyway, they have known each other for so long, they are very familiar with each other's affairs, and it is very easy to pretend. So they followed Li Tian back to his home, and let him tease his face. Li Tianhui's technique is very good. He used acupuncture techniques to make them feel no pain at all during the operation. Three days later, when they faced the bronze mirror, Hong couldn't help being shocked.When the two of them looked at each other, they were even more surprised. They also looked at each other's faces carefully, but they couldn't find any trace of being easily overwhelmed. They began to imitate each other's daily habits, and after another three days, with every gesture of hand and foot, they would regard each other as themselves. Then, they felt that this incident was too unbelievable, and felt a little regretful in their hearts. They asked Li Tianhui if he could return to the way he was before. Li Tianhui's answer shocked them. "Absolutely impossible. Do you think this is playing a game? Just play if you like it, and let go if you don't like it?" Li Tianhui said. "Why can you change back, but can't go back?" Zhao Jian asked. "Because your skin has been injured, pulled and deformed, of course it is impossible to restore the old appearance." "What if we want to reveal our original identity to others?" Shangguan Ren asked. "There is no way." Li Tianhui said. This sentence was very cruel, like a sharp knife, it cut into the hearts of Zhao Jian and Shangguan Ren, and they both felt shocked and annoyed. "You must exchange identities, forever." Li Tianhui said again. Zhao Jian and Shangguan Ren looked at each other for a long while before Zhao Jian said: "There is really nothing to do?" "Actually, there is one." Li Tianhui said. "What method?" Shangguan Ren asked. "It's a very painful way." Li Tianhui said. "A painful solution?" Zhao Jian said. "Yes, it was painful." "Why?" Shangguan Ren asked. "Because you have to pull off the skin on your face, and your appearance will be completely destroyed, so that the previous outline will show." Zhao Jian and Shangguan Ren looked at each other again, they both had the same mind, they both thought of being played by Li Tianhui as an experiment at the same time, they couldn't help feeling resentful in their hearts, suddenly they shot at the same time, and slapped Li Tianhui's chest with both palms. "Li Tianhui died like this?" Hearing this, Wuji asked. "His disguise technique is superb, but his martial arts are extremely poor, how can he not die?" "In other words, there is no one to prove your story in this world?" Shangguan Ren looked at Wuji and said, "You still don't believe me?" Wuji smiled and said, "How can you trust me? You made up this story too mysteriously." "Taixuan?" Shangguan Ren said: "This is absolutely true! Do you know? Sometimes the real thing is more mysterious than the fabricated story." "But this story..." "How can you trust me?" Shangguan Ren interrupted Wuji. Wuji was silent. Shangguan Ren stared at Wuji with a very solemn expression, and after a while, he said, "Lend me your sword." Wuji looked at Shangguan Ren and passed the sword over without asking why. Shangguan Ren took the sword, his expression became more dignified, he pulled out the sword, stared at the sharp blade, then slowly raised the sword, bent his hand, and put the blade on his neck. Wuji was shocked and shouted: "What are you going to do?" Shangguan Ren smiled sadly and said: "Only in this way, you will believe me, right?" Wuji's expression changed drastically, and he said, "You want to ruin your appearance?" "No." Shangguan Ren said calmly: "I want to restore my appearance." Wuji's thoughts were ups and downs, he didn't know what to do, indeed, only this method could tell whether the person in front of him was his father or not. But what if he is really his father?Wouldn't that face become bloody and completely ruined?But what if he wasn't?Will he raise his sword and put on airs to deceive himself? If the person in front of him was Shangguan Yan, and he could plan foresight and murder his father silently, then it is a consistent practice to make a pleading to restore his appearance. He must guess that he will never let him disfigure him. This problem is really too difficult to solve. what to do?Wuji looked at the bright blade in Shangguan Ren's hand, he couldn't make a decision. When Wuji arrived at Shangguanbao, Tang Ao got the news. He also knew that Wuji's purpose of going to the gambling house was to attract Shangguan Ren's attention.So he had sent someone to keep an eye on Shangguan Ren a long time ago, keeping an eye on his whereabouts. Regarding the decisive battle between Shangguan Yan and Zhao Wuji, of course he wanted to watch from the sidelines, so he ordered the person monitoring Shangguan Yan to notify him immediately if there was any movement, and he was going to follow Shangguan Yan. But to his surprise, Shangguan Ren didn't even move at all throughout the next day. Then on the third day, the watchman suddenly ran to him with a look of ashes on his face and told him that the Shangguan blade was missing. When Shangguan Ren left, no one saw it, which surprised Tang Ao inexplicably. Why did Shangguan Ren leave so mysteriously?Could it be that there is really some big secret between him and Zhao Wuji? He didn't know, but he immediately sent people around to search for Shangguan Ren's whereabouts, and it turned out that Shangguan Ren went there and no one saw him, and according to Zhao Wuji, according to the hotel clerk, after asking where Shishan was yesterday, there was no one there. have been back. After listening to Tang Ao, he picked up his sword and walked towards Lion Mountain without saying a word. He judged that Shangguan Ren must have asked Zhao Wuji to meet on Lion Mountain. When Tang Ao went, it was already close to noon.
