The Secret History of Xuanmen

Chapter 408 Plan

Zhu Biao said that the task that the woman gave him was not to kill me, but on the contrary, to not allow him to hurt me at all.

When I first heard this news, I was still a little confused. How could a ghost who wanted to kill me turn around and protect me?

But I soon figured it out. The woman had deliberately created this royal tomb engagement, and as the male protagonist of the imperial tomb engagement, how could she let me die on the way?

So she didn't want to protect me, but she wanted me to enter the Immortal Burial Tomb smoothly and walk into the trap she had set up safely.

As for life and death after entering the Immortal Burial Tomb, it is naturally up to her to have the final say.

So I immediately said to Zhu Biao: "This is not surprising. The reason why some people are not dead is not because they should not die, but because they still have more use value."

"So the fact that she asked you to protect me doesn't mean that she is in the same camp as us, but that she still has some use for me."

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "It seems that you do have a talent far beyond your age, and you look at things comprehensively enough. You are right. Putting aside her purpose and good and evil, at least it means that you are still very important to her. .”

After a pause, Zhu Biao said to me: "But according to my analysis, the person who is important to her may not be you, but the Holy Lord."

Zhu Biao's words once again puzzled me, but after thinking about it for a moment, I understood what he meant.

I replied: "You mean that even this woman didn't see through Holy Lord Zhao Dengtang's plan and thought I was just his reincarnation?"

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Yes, she is indeed powerful and can communicate with the souls in the world even if she is in the Tomb of Immortals. But after all, she is trapped in the Tomb of Immortals and cannot know everything in the world."

"She may not know all of the Holy Lord's plans. If she really knows everything, there is no need to tell me to protect you. She may know that I am a soldier of the Holy Lord, but she is also worried that I will forget those things after becoming an immortal. This It proves that she doesn’t know that the Holy Lord helped me get through the five gates.”

"This also means that she doesn't know that you are not only the reincarnation of the Holy Lord, but also have a deeper identity. So in her eyes, you are the reincarnation of the Holy Lord Zhao Dentang."

What Zhu Biao said makes sense. It reminds me of the past story of Zulong that Qin Changfeng once told. When the woman found Ying Zheng's soul, she indeed asked him to lure his grandfather there and let the Zhao family pass the emperor to ascend the horse stone. Welcome the saint back. This so-called saint should refer to the Holy Lord Zhao Dengtang.

But just when I thought I had it all figured out, I suddenly realized an inconsistency.

Since what that woman is planning is the reincarnation of Holy Lord Zhao Dengtang, why is it that I, Zhao Goucheng, is the protagonist of the imperial mausoleum engagement?

In order to completely understand the reason, I had to tell the second person the information that I had a dual identity. In fact, I and the paper man Gou Sheng were the same person. I told Zhu Biao the secret about me.

I asked Zhu Biao: "Since that woman asked you not to hurt me, it means that she knows that I am the real protagonist, and already knows that Zhao Goucheng is just a puppet. Doesn't that mean that she still knows that we are the same person? On her behalf Are you fully aware of all the Holy Lord’s plans?”

When I finished speaking, Zhu Biao opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "What, then Zhao Goucheng is also you? Are you the same person? I didn't notice at all."

After a pause, Zhu Biao slapped his forehead and said: "That's right, I made a mistake myself. The woman's original words were, let me not hurt the Zhao boy."

"Because I didn't know anything about the engagement in the imperial mausoleum, and because I was in awe of the Holy Lord, I had a preconceived idea and automatically thought that this boy from the Zhao family was you."

"It turns out that the inconspicuous Zhao Goucheng is the boy of the Zhao family in her mouth, so our previous inference is still correct. The person she wanted me to protect was Zhao Goucheng, and she regarded Zhao Goucheng as a saint. The Lord reincarnates.”

After listening to Zhu Biao's explanation, I fully understood and figured it all out.

It seemed that my dual identity was still not exposed, and I smiled with relief.

With this trump card, I can still enter the Immortal Burial Tomb from the perspective of a bystander and see what kind of overall situation this extremely mysterious woman is planning.

So I said directly to Zhu Biao: "It's better sooner rather than later. Let's make a plan on how to enter the Immortal Tomb."
