Chapter 230 Answers
Shen Ming is not an ordinary person. Although his strength is not as good as Shen Ye, his mind is first-rate, otherwise he would not be so successful in business.
After everything he went through, he had all the records and books on the Shen family moved to the hospital. During the surgery and recovery period, he studied these materials and books one by one.
The Shen family is a big family, and the years from the Ming Dynasty to the present are not short, so naturally they have left behind a lot of books.
Shen Ming found some records about alchemy in these book records. The ancient alchemy was quite evil and had a very important principle, which was equivalent exchange.
If you want to get something, you must pay the same price. Without sacrifice, there is no gain!
Ancient alchemy and modern alchemy are completely different concepts, and even belong to a category of sorcery. However, it is different from those magical illusions that turn stone into gold and scatter beans into soldiers. It is real and can really be refined. Withdraw money!
That cornucopia is actually an evil alchemy vessel, and it also has the principle of equal exchange. The curse pattern on the vessel is actually a living curse for sacrifice. Shen Ming has looked it up in books, but it is too old. , there aren’t many he can crack.
To put it simply and easily understandable, according to the principle of equal exchange, the cornucopia took away Shen Ming's kidney, so the door was opened for us. The curse of living sacrifice was activated in the basin. I guess the same is true for Mr. Shen. He Shen Ming lost his stomach and his kidneys.
Perhaps it was because the so-called cornucopia was so evil that the Shen family put it in a forbidden area. Otherwise, who would want to bury such a good thing?
After listening to Shen Ming's words, I suddenly understood. Although I don't dare to say that it is 100% right, I should be close to it.
At this time, I also thought of something even more terrifying. The people who died in the Tomb of Thousand Corpses were not all exchanged, right?
Shen Wansan was as rich as anyone in the country back then. If he relied on the cornucopia of wealth, then according to the principle of equivalent exchange, so many people would indeed have died.
Shen Wansan was originally a fisherman. If you say that he has a natural talent for business, I don't believe it.
Use the evil nature of the cornucopia to exchange thousands of people, and then obtain huge wealth.
After you have a lot of wealth, money can beget money. As long as you are not mentally retarded, you should be able to get rich.
Is Shen Wansan such a ruthless person? The richest man in the Ming Dynasty, he did whatever it took to get money and killed thousands of people?
Based on this reasoning, the Bone Temple should be used to suppress the Tomb of Thousand Corpses. I don’t know where the Shen family found a ten-thousand-year-old corpse, and then built a Bone Temple to enshrine it in order to suppress the souls of thousands of people.
You must know how violent and terrifying these resentful souls are when they are killed like this!
If it weren't for the Bone Temple and the Ten Thousand Years Corpse, it is estimated that all the Shen family would have died tragically, and thousands of ghosts would have slaughtered their entire family, and then there would probably be no Shen family today.
Shen Wansan would never have thought of this move, because he didn't know any magic at that time, and he was not a person in this industry. Maybe... it was Zhang Sanfeng who taught him. Even if it wasn't Zhang Sanfeng, there must be an expert behind him, because it was unreasonable. Even ordinary experts can't do things like this, you have to be an expert with means.
I now wonder if Shen Luoyi, a daughter of the Nine Yins, committed herself to the Shen family. Is it retribution? Is it God's punishment for the Shen family? Now the Shen family is still killing each other, and it feels like a series of retributions.
Naturally, I did not tell Shen Ming these speculations, because only a fool would speak ill of other people's ancestors and family in front of others, and I had no evidence, and Shen Ming would not accept it.
All of this may gradually come to light in the future. If these things are as I guessed, then I feel that Shen Luoyi will be a knife, a knife used by God to punish the Shen family, but this knife is not there yet. Sharpened, not even sharpened.
"I have another question. If it's just an exchange of equal value, then both you and Mr. Shen have already given up a stomach or a kidney. Why do you still become half-human and half-corpse?"
I asked Shen Ming again, if this problem is solved, all mysteries will be solved.
Shen Ming did not answer immediately, but was silent for a while. He finally said softly: "I don't know the specific reason for this, I can only guess."
"Guess? If you put it this way, you should have guessed the answer?"
I looked at Shen Ming thoughtfully. If he didn't have the answer, he wouldn't say this. It's just that he wasn't sure about the answer.
"That cornucopia was probably made from an organ of a ten thousand year corpse, such as the stomach."
When Shen Ming said this, his expression was a little uncomfortable because it was a bit too nonsense. He was probably afraid that I wouldn't believe it or that I would laugh at him, because this was just his guess and there was no real evidence.
But I believed what he said, and then nodded. Shen Ming was a little surprised, and looked at me speechless. The mouth he just opened paused and didn't close for a long time.
The Ten Thousand Years Corpse has been around for thousands of years. Its body is almost made of copper skin and iron bones, and many of its organs have even mutated. For example, his heart is just like a living person, and it will still beat and even drip with blood after being taken out.
Is this evil? Of course it is evil! It is absolutely impossible for a zombie to have such a heart, but it does exist because I saw the man take it out of the ten thousand year corpse with my own eyes. This also shows that the body organs of the ten thousand year corpse are mutating. Even if he was beheaded, he would still be alive and kicking.
If the heart is like this, it is not surprising that other organs are like this.
If the cornucopia was forged from the organs of a ten-thousand-year-old corpse, it would inevitably have corpse energy, and his corpse energy was still very strong. The organs of Master Shen and Shen Ming were fused with it. Although they were separated from the body, the connection was not severed. The corpse gas polluted their bodies, turning them into half-human, half-corpse monsters.
But Shen Ming's situation seems to be much better than Mr. Shen's. Except for the madness just at the beginning, he has never had another attack until now.
Perhaps, because Wannian Corpse was beheaded and his heart was dug out, his corpse energy was reduced by at least two-thirds. He had been severely injured, so Shen Ming was not contaminated by corpse energy to a relatively low degree.
It seems that all the answers have been found. Although there is no direct evidence, the explanation is completely reasonable.
I stood up, instead of embarrassing him, I chose to leave.
"You...you left?" Shen Ming was a little surprised. He thought I was here to trouble him, otherwise he wouldn't have told everything so honestly. Throughout the whole process, he looked lenient when he was frank and strict when he resisted.
He knows my strength, so he is afraid of me.
"Hmph, don't worry. I said I won't deal with you. I'm here just to find the answer."
I waved my hand and said goodbye directly. After I came out of the door, I snapped my fingers. Shen Ming's men immediately shivered and looked like they were waking up from a dream. I had broken their curse.
The Shen family's affairs have come to an end, and the next step is the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts.
In fact, I have another purpose in participating in the Night Walk of One Hundred Ghosts, and that is what my second uncle said about the tears of hundreds of ghosts.
If you want to change your life, you must collect three things: the head of a thousand-year-old corpse, the heart of a thousand-year-old demon, and the tears of a thousand-year-old ghost.
