Listening to Jiang Lu's accusations, Dong Wanggong felt very aggrieved.
"Brother-in-law, I understand what you said, but this is not what I want to do."
"Oh? Then tell me, who ordered you to do that?"
“I can’t say I was ordered to do this, but someone did ask me to do this.” Dong Wanggong sighed as if accepting his fate: “This person is the one we just mentioned, my elder brother Yuanshi Tianzun.”
"He asked you to do this?" Jiang Lu was very surprised by the answer.
The Sanqing Temple enshrines the Three Pure Ones, among which Yuanshi Tianzun is the chief one. In other words, the Sanqing Temple is the spokesperson of the three Tianzun on earth.
Then the Three Pure Ones world governed by the Sanqing Temple should, in theory, prosper and suffer together with the three Heavenly Lords.
However, the gambling on stones, which was identified as a disaster by Sanqing Temple, rose to prominence due to the instigation of Yuanshi Tianzun. This is illogical no matter how you look at it.
I harmed myself? It's ridiculous to think about it.
So Jiang Lu also questioned on the spot: "Are you kidding me?"
"Really not, it was really my eldest brother who instructed me to do it, but it's true that only he and I know about this matter, and I don't know how to explain it to you." Duke Dong was very anxious and wanted to prove it, but he couldn't produce any evidence.
"Then tell me, why did he ask you to do this?" Jiang Lu asked.
Dong Wanggong hesitated a little, but after a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, who made you my brother-in-law?"
It can be seen that he is much closer to the Queen Mother of the West than to Yuanshi Tianzun.
Then, he told Jiang Lu the reason: "Because... the time is coming."
"What do you mean? When?" Jiang Lu asked again.
Dong Wanggong took a deep breath and shook his head slowly: "I don't know either, that's what he told me."
"?"
Jiang Lu frowned:
"Don't you know you're pretending to be me?
You look so serious that I really think you know someone.
Also, you help Yuanshi Tianzun without knowing anything? Are you stupid? "
"You can't say that." Dong Wanggong said helplessly: "After all, he is my elder brother. I help him with something and he doesn't tell me the reason. I really have no choice. Can I still refuse him?"
"Where is the Duke of Dong who was determined to kill him just now? You have to stand up." Jiang Lu repeated the other party's words exactly as they were spoken.
The Duke of Dong could only be extremely unconvinced but still faced the reality and said: "I can't do it..."
"Ah..." They both sighed at the same time.
It's time.
Jiang Lu naturally linked this sentence to the battle in the underworld.
Because when you think about it carefully, this seems to be the only major thing happening now.
If this is true, does it mean that the war in the underworld may have some other meaning for the main gods who are not involved in it?
This is the top priority for Jiang Lu right now, but for some main gods, could it be just the beginning?
Although Jiang Lu really wanted to figure it out right now, his current level was too low. Not to mention whether he could meet Yuanshi Tianzun, even if he did, what would happen?
If he really had any plans, with Jiang Lu's current capital, even if he didn't want to say it, Jiang Lu would be helpless.
Moreover, Yuanshi Tianzun is not like Dong Wanggong who has a sister complex. Jiang Lu does not think that he will be completely unreserved towards her just because of his complicated relationship with Xi Wangmu.
He has always been a very cunning person, and Jiang Lu himself feels that he has never seen through him.
He seemed to have no desires, no weaknesses, and even the most basic human emotions were hard to find in him. Jiang Lu felt like an emotionless AI who only followed his own thoughts.
It is simply impossible for such a person to establish a relationship with him beyond the interests.
In this case, if he appeared in front of him directly, he might be changed from a partner to a chess piece that can be used. After all, compared with him, Jiang Lu is now a fish on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered at will.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lu felt regretful, but he also reminded Dong Wanggong: "Don't tell your elder brother what happened today."
"Are you talking about the plot to beat him up?" Dong Wanggong smiled heartlessly: "Don't worry, I'm not an idiot."
"No, everything, including the fact that you saw me." Jiang Lu's face was rarely solemn.
Seeing this, Dong Wanggong also restrained his smile and nodded: "I understand."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Jiang Lu changed the subject: "By the way, I heard from the waiter at your casino that you were nearby at the time. All the underground casinos in the Sanqing Realm belong to you. How come you happened to be in Nanjiang City? Could it be that we are so destined to be together?"
Dong Wanggong thought for a moment and said, "As for fate... Of course there is, but I stayed in Nanjiang City not just on a whim, there is a reason."
"what?"
"Well... it's a strange thing to say."
Dong Wanggong said with some distress:
“The three corpse spirits left behind by my sister when she killed the three corpses in the past had never caused any problems for tens of millions of years, but some time ago, for some reason, they suddenly broke the seal without any warning and disappeared.
Although my sister's attitude towards this is to let nature take its course, as her younger brother I cannot just ignore it. What if the three corpse spirits retaliate against her and bring about a heavenly calamity?
So I had no choice but to come to Nanjiang City, which is the closest to the Gaishi Mountain where her three corpse spirits are sealed.
I was just trying my luck to see if I could find some clues, but I didn't expect that I actually found them.
I am now very sure that her three corpses are hiding in Nanjiang City, but unfortunately I can't determine the exact location, which makes me very worried."
Jiang Lu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the reason why Duke Dongwang appeared here was for him in the end.
Isn’t this a closed loop?
"Um... ahem..." He cleared his throat: "I have some immature ideas about this matter and I want to discuss them with you."
Chapter 303 The Battle of the Three Corpses
"Brother-in-law, you don't have to be so polite. Let's just talk about what we have to discuss between brothers."
Jiang Lu's status in Dong Wanggong's heart was obviously very high. He spoke enthusiastically, which made Jiang Lu feel a little embarrassed.
This is no wonder. Dong Wanggong is a kind of sister-con. Queen Mother of the West holds the highest position in his heart. Jiang Lu also had a romantic past with Queen Mother of the West. Although he does not know what happened between the two of them, he can judge that his sister is definitely serious because she told her family's secrets to her.
In addition, although Jiang Lu cannot be considered a positive character, his identity and achievements are there. Even if there was no relationship with the Queen Mother of the West, the King of the East would regard him as a goal to catch up with, not to mention that they are now a family, so it is natural for him to speak enthusiastically.
Jiang Lu thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Before I put forward my idea, can I ask you first, if you find your sister's three corpses, what are you going to do?"
"Needless to say, of course I will kill it directly and make it disappear into ashes, so that it will never affect my sister." Dong Wanggong answered without hesitation.
"But have you ever thought that if you kill the three corpse spirits, it will affect your sister?"
"Impossible." Dong Wanggong simply shook his head at Jiang Lu's hypothesis.
"Why isn't it possible?"
"Because everyone kills the three corpses." Dong Wanggong was a little surprised, as if he couldn't understand why Jiang Lu asked such a well-known question.
"Is what everyone does necessarily right?" Jiang Lu asked again.
"I don't know if it's right or not, but since everyone is doing this, there must be a reason. And since ancient times, those who want to become immortals need to kill the three corpses. Who among those who have become immortals in the immortal world has not killed the three corpses? Aren't they still fine?"
At this point, Dong Wanggong finally couldn't help but ask:
"Brother-in-law, why do you act like you've never practiced before? Aren't these the most basic cognitions? Do you think there's something wrong with this?"
Jiang Lu shook his head slightly, but answered the question irrelevantly: "Before the emergence of quantum physics, everyone thought that classical physics was all there was to physics."
Dong Wanggong was stunned: "Ah, although, do you think physics is meaningful to us?"
"I'm not talking to you about physics." Jiang Lu, who only knew a little bit and didn't dare to go into detail, changed the subject: "Is there no immortal who has never killed the three corpses?"
Jiang Lu originally said this to bring up his own actual case of never beheading the Three Corpses but gaining more benefits. He used this as a theoretical basis to tell Dong Wanggong that accepting and overcoming the evil desires of the Three Corpses is actually one of the best ways to reach a higher level after becoming a main god.
As long as Dong Wanggong accepted this theory, it would be natural for him to be his wingman to contribute to his plan to conquer Xi Wangmu again.
But what was unexpected was that after Dong Wanggong thought about it, he actually thought of a person who had not killed the three corpses but had become an immortal and had achieved a high level of achievement.
"It seems that there really is such a person." Dong Wanggong stroked the stubble on his chin: "Taiyi has never killed the three corpses."
"Oh, is that so? I really didn't know about this." Jiang Lu had no choice but to put up with him for now and asked with pretended curiosity, "Then, how did he become?"
“He encountered a calamity.” Dong Wanggong shrugged. “His master, my elder brother Yuanshi Tianzun, couldn’t help him either. After the Conferred God List was finalized, he went into seclusion to avoid the calamity. I haven’t seen him since.”
"Kill...rob?" Jiang Lu was confused.
He himself didn't kill the three corpses, so why did he never encounter any killing disaster?
"Yes, it was a killing calamity. Not only did his thousands of years of cultivation turn to nothing, but his life was also in danger at any time. He could only linger in his intensive care unit-like Golden Light Cave, relying on the magic circle left by my eldest brother to keep him alive."
Dong Wanggong sighed:
"These three corpses are just like the appendix. Normally, it doesn't matter whether it is there or not, but once it attacks, it can be a matter of life and death.
How majestic was Taiyi when he was in the human world before, but what happened in the end? Didn't he still live a lonely and isolated life? "
Jiang Lu felt something was not good when he heard it.
I, a positive example, haven't even made my debut yet, so how come the negative examples are almost dying?
Only then did he understand why Dong Wanggong was so persistent in believing that the Three Corpse Spirits of the Queen Mother of the West, Jin Yao, would retaliate against her after breaking the seal of Gaishi Mountain. It turned out that Dong Wanggong had seen the consequences with his own eyes.
So how can this be done?
Compared to this story that Dong Wanggong could only regard as a story he had heard, it seemed that the example of Taiyi Zhenren, which he had seen with his own eyes, was more convincing...
Just as Jiang Lu was thinking about how to continue the topic and make Dong Wanggong change his mind, Dong Wanggong continued: "But in the end, it's still my eldest brother's fault. Taiyi shouldn't have been so miserable."
"What does this have to do with Yuanshi Tianzun?" Jiang Lu asked in confusion.
"Well...how should I put it?" Dong Wanggong scratched his head in annoyance, as if he was looking for the right words: "It's strange, but it's a bit too much. It can only be said to be a coincidence. It's just that this coincidence caused Taiyi to fail to behead the three corpses."
"Elaborate."
“My eldest brother’s cultivation is so profound that he can see what will happen in the future. So he knew about the disaster many years before the Conferred God War began.
Therefore, he entrusted his most trusted disciple Taiyi with the important task and sent him to the human world to make arrangements.
But at that time, Taiyi was in the critical period of beheading the three corpses. But there was no other way. Compared with the peace in the world, he had to put this matter aside temporarily and walk the world in place of my eldest brother.
As a result, he was delayed. The Conferred God List had just been finalized when the killing calamity came. But by then it was too late to save the situation. Even he, the eldest brother, was powerless to save the situation. "
Dong Wanggong sighed, full of regret:
