At this moment, hearing Great-grandmother's reply, Li Xianyu could only think of this word. It could best describe his current mood.
Aisin Gioro Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, the most powerful person in the early Qing Dynasty. Even the young emperor's life was in his hands. Even Li Xianyu, who never paid attention in history class, knew about this famous regent.
In the world of Blood Kin, he was even more powerful. He was a master of the Extreme Dao and the first warrior of the Qing Dynasty. He once led the Blood Kin to slaughter a dragon in the Yangtze River and killed a ruler.
Li Xianyu felt an indescribable sense of absurdity. It was as if the hero in the history textbook had reappeared in the world.
"Are you sure?" Li Xianyu stared at Great-grandmother seriously.
"Yes, I saw his portrait when I was young. It should be correct." Great-grandmother nodded.
It was difficult for modern people to determine what Dorgon looked like. Even if there were portraits of him left in the world, they were like portraits of characters in Chinese textbooks, which could be forgotten after seeing them.
Great-grandmother clearly remembered what Dorgon looked like. She was from that era, even though one was active in the early Qing Dynasty and the other was born in the late Qing Dynasty. It was like looking at the portrait of a great man. It was definitely more intuitive and clear than the portrait of future generations hundreds of years later.
"Dorgon was a figure in the early Qing Dynasty. It was at least 400 years ago. How could a person from the 17th century live to the 20th century? "
"Even if he was a master of the Extreme Dao, unless he cultivated like the Buddha head, it would be difficult for him to live for more than a century."
Li Xianyu shook his head.
As everyone knew, injuries shortened one's lifespan. It was difficult for people with hidden diseases to live a long life. This also applied to the Blood Kin. The injuries suffered by the Blood Kin were unimaginable to ordinary people. Broken meridians, shattered bones, and damaged organs were all common occurrences.
Although the vitality of the Blood Kin was far greater than that of ordinary people, even if the wounds were healed, they would still leave marks on the body. As the wounds accumulated, they would form all kinds of hidden injuries. Thus, the lifespan of a bloodline descendant might not necessarily be longer than that of an ordinary person.
That Prince Regent had fought many battles and spent most of his life in the flames of war. Such a person would not live long even if he was in the Extreme Grade.
"Duo, Dorgon?" Dharmaraja's eyes widened. For a moment, he could not digest this shocking news.
Li Xianyu found it hard to calm down.
He needed to do something to calm himself down, so he grabbed the cigarette box on the table, lit it, and smoked half of it in one breath. Puffing out endless white smoke, he said, "Assuming that he is Dorgon, then how do we explain his longevity?"
"I thought of a possibility!"
"He's the True Dragon?" Great-grandmother asked with a smile.
"Yes, he was possessed by the remains of a True Dragon." Li Xianyu flicked the cigarette ash. "When we were in Japan, we once speculated that the one behind the Black Dragon was the ruler who was slaughtered in the Yangtze River."
"Although Ancient Fey can fall, their authority is indestructible, unless there is a Sword of Qi. The indestructible authority will separate from the corpse and turn into the remains of the Ancient Fey. "
"The Dragon Ball, Dragon Bone, and the Black Dragon we saw, all of them added up are not enough to be compared to a ruler. So where did the rest go? So my speculation is that the remains of the Dragon fled with the Black Dragon, leaving only the Dragon Ball and Dragon Bone. "
Great-grandmother touched her great-grandson's head and finally showed a smile of crushing intelligence, "Then did you notice that there are many loopholes and assumptions in your speculation?"
"For example?"
"For example, you bought a chicken and chopped it up. The chicken ran away with its own meat, leaving behind stones and bones. Is that reasonable? "
"I feel like you're indirectly scolding me." Li Xianyu nodded. "I thought of these myself, so now, I overturned my previous speculation and came to the conclusion that Dorgon was actually possessed by the Ancient Fey."
"The phenomenon of the Ancient Fey's remains being possessed is not a special case. I've experienced the Pope incident. After the Qing Dynasty's descendants slaughtered the True Dragon, they secretly transported the corpse back to the capital. Since Dorgon is of the Extreme Dao, it's impossible for him not to see the strange energy contained in the True Dragon's corpse. "
"He rashly came into contact with the Ancient Fey's remains and was then possessed. Moreover, I remember that Dorgon is a short-lived ghost. I didn't find it strange before, but after knowing that he is of the Extreme Dao, this is thought-provoking. "
"You, what are you talking about?" Dharmaraja swallowed his saliva. He roughly understood a little. It seemed that Dorgon was possessed by the Ancient Fey, and then Dorgon was the one behind the refining plan of the Peerless War Soul.
However, without the corresponding clues and discoveries, Dharmaraja could not digest such a conclusion at all.
It was like reading a detective novel, ignoring the beginning and the process, and directly flipping to the end.
Dharmaraja could not understand, and the Wu family, who only existed in the concept and rumors of Ancient Fey, could not understand it either. The only thing he could understand was that it seemed to be related to the Wu family's patriarch from a hundred years ago.
What happened a hundred years ago has nothing to do with us, please don't implicate us.
"No, I don't think so." Great-grandmother looked at her great-grandson with a crushing gaze. "My speculation is that Dorgon swallowed the Ancient Fey's remains and replaced him."
Boom!
A bolt of lightning struck Li Xianyu's mind. He was stunned for a moment, his eyes slightly widened as he stared at Great-grandmother.
Dorgon swallowed the Ancient Fey's remains and replaced him.
The Ancient Fey's remains had possessed Dorgon.
The difference between the two was huge.
Li Xianyu subconsciously wanted to refute, but Great-grandmother's words were like a silk thread, connecting all the clues.
The first thing he recalled was on the highway, in the car on the way back from Mao Mountain to Shanghai. The grandmother and grandson talked about the origin of the Peerless War Soul project, which came from the handwritten letter of the Prince Regent who died young.
The handwritten letter recorded Dorgon's research on the dragon balls and dragon bones, as well as the prototype of the Peerless War Soul array.
At that time, it was certain that Dorgon had not merged with the Ancient Fey's remains, or rather, he had not been possessed.
"It's not impossible to merge with the Ancient Fey's remains. I myself am the best example. As long as the will of the Ancient Fey's remains is destroyed, it can be merged. The reason why Dan Yunzi was half-crazy was that he didn't have the ability to destroy the remaining will of the Poison Tail Ruler.
"But Dorgon can. He's an Extreme Grade, and definitely not an ordinary one. At the same time, he's proficient in arrays, so he shouldn't be fiddling with the prototype of the Peerless War Soul array. "
Following the train of thought of Dorgon replacing the True Dragon's remains, many things became reasonable.
Those who insisted on carrying out the Peerless War Soul project were the Manchurian conservatives, led by Prince Gong and other members of the imperial family.
The Ancient Fey didn't care about the continuation and survival of the Manchurian court, but Dorgon did. He was refining the Peerless War Soul, and he was also trying to save the country.
The Soul Annihilation Alliance had forged the Soul Annihilation Spear, which was born from dragon bones and specialized in restraining the Peerless War Soul. If they didn't know the array like the back of their hand, how could they have refined such a magic weapon?
The purpose of the Soul Annihilation Alliance's killing of Great-grandmother was to refine the Peerless War Soul. And if the True Dragon's remains had possessed Dorgon, it should have wanted to take back the Dragon Ball and restore its authority. Similarly, the Black Dragon wouldn't have existed.
But he didn't. He raised the Black Dragon, brainwashed it, and trained it to be the number one fighter. He took back the Dragon Ball to refine the Peerless War Soul.
These details indicated that the one behind the Black Dragon wasn't the True Dragon that Li Xianyu thought, but Dorgon.
Previously, Li Xianyu had been wondering why the Wu family?
If that person was really Dorgon, there was another explanation: Where was Manchuria?
The northeast was Manchuria. Before the Great Qing entered the pass, they lived in Manchuria.
The three northeastern provinces and the northeast region of Inner Mongolia.
"All the clues are connected." Li Xianyu let out a long sigh.
In his mind, the conversation between Great-grandmother and the Poisonous Tail Ruler suddenly flashed across his mind: I know who it is. Don't even think about getting any information from my great-grandson.
At that time, the war was imminent and she didn't have time to ask about this matter in detail. Now that she thought about it, Great-grandmother already had a guess about the existence behind the Black Dragon.
This also matched the portrait of Dorgon that she had just drawn.
"Great-grandmother, how did you find Dorgon's true body from a mess of clues that lacked connections?" Li Xianyu asked curiously.
When he died in the Pantheon Palace, Great-grandmother placed the Dragon Ball in Dan Yunzi's body to nourish in order to take revenge. Then, she began to track down the whereabouts of the descendants of the Manchuria nobles.
At that time, she should have had some doubts. After meeting the Black Dragon again in Japan, she had no doubt about Dorgon's identity. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said those words.
"Amazing, right?" Great-grandmother proudly raised her snow-white chin.
"Amazing, how did you find out?" Li Xianyu sincerely admired her and thought of a saying: Your milk is still your milk.
But this did not match the intelligence that Great-grandmother had always shown, so Li Xianyu and Li Yuanfang reached a consensus that there must be something strange about this matter.
It might be hiding a secret that he had never known before.
"Isn't it obvious? Dorgon is a master of formations and is very knowledgeable. After listening to you about Dan Yunzi's situation, I immediately understood. Because if the Ancient Demon took over his body, he would at most integrate some of his memories, but the Ancient Demon would still be the master, so there would be no later improvement of the formation. "
"Only with Dorgon as the master would he continue to complete his formation.
He replaced Gu Yao, which is why he continued to complete his array diagram. The Wu family's situation has also confirmed my guess. "
So that was the case, but he still felt that something was wrong.
Li Xianyu opened his mouth in a daze and couldn't say anything for a long time.
After thinking for a while, he figured out what was wrong.
His reasoning was based on the known clues, slowly gathering them and gradually piecing together the correct truth. Great-grandmother was different. She assumed a truth and then substituted it with the clues. Wow, it was really like this, and then it was confirmed.
Thirty percent was predestined, and seventy percent depended on blind guessing. Your reasoning like this was going to cause trouble.
Just based on a handwritten letter, without other evidence, and without the help of other clues, such reasoning was more like a woman's intuition.
But it was very in line with the intelligence of my grandmother, Li Xianyu complained in his heart.
