Very quickly, Wang Hai seemed to understand this point. However, he was obviously unwilling to give up. He clenched his fist and punched the ground again.
This time, I was in trouble. I hurriedly used my Dao Qi, but I couldn't resist the impact of the punch. I retreated a few meters again.
Although the Ancestral Seeking Formation had dissipated, the power of the bloodline lingered for a while.
Just like before, Wang Can's ribs were inexplicably broken again.
He didn't seem to believe it and tried a few more times. As I moved further away from him, the damage I received decreased. However, he was continuously injured. In the end, he fell to the ground, his body trembling rapidly.
When he finally stopped, there weren't many bones in his chest that were still intact. However, he didn't care. He stared at me and asked in a weak voice, "What happened? You … Tell me in detail!"
I could clearly feel his trembling as he spoke. Perhaps, he still couldn't accept this fact.
However, I understood. Perhaps, in his heart, his ancestor, Emperor Ku, was one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, a hero of the human race.
Even if he was reincarnated, he would be a famous almighty being.
I didn't expect that after Emperor Ku was reincarnated, he would be as weak as me. If it were me, I would also be very disappointed.
However, this was an irreversible fact. He had to accept it even if he didn't want to.
I sighed, then told him the function of the Ancestor Seeking Formation.
Wang Hai already had an answer in his heart. After listening to me, he remained silent and didn't move for a long time.
I didn't say anything and just stood at the side, waiting for him to think it through.
After an unknown period of time, Wang Hai finally stood up shakily. Then, he picked up the broken bones on the ground and put them back on his body. Then, he walked towards me.
When he stood in front of me, he wasn't as violent as before. Instead, he knelt down and said with a trembling voice, "Seventh generation Sun Hai greets the ancestor.
I didn't know the ancestor's identity before, so Hai Wan died. "
Then, he kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times.
After hearing that, I felt an inexplicable warmth in my heart. I wanted to extend my hand to pat his shoulder, but I felt that it wasn't appropriate. I could only use both hands to help him up. I said warmly, "I know how you're feeling right now, but I can understand.
It's just that this bloodline connection has never changed … it's really hard on you. "
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Hai immediately knelt down and said, "Hai doesn't dare."
Seeing this, I was startled and only reacted after a while.
In his generation, blood relations were the most important thing in life. What I said before was indeed a bit inappropriate.
I gestured for him to get up.
I looked at Wang Hai's skeleton in front of me, and my heart was filled with sorrow.
Judging from his figure, he must have been a mighty and extraordinary person when he was alive. How could he have fallen to such a state?
I wasn't in a hurry to go to the fourth floor. I pulled Wang Hai aside and chatted with him.
As for Wang Hai, there are records in the ancient books that he is an ancient demon. As for why he would appear in the Spirit Lock Tower, I have no idea.
Thinking till here, I voiced out the doubt in my heart. Wang Hai was silent for a moment before telling me the reason behind it.
In the twelfth year of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Wang Hai was ordered to set off from Shang Qiu with his younger brother, Wang Heng. They carried goods and drove cattle and sheep to the Youyi Clan in Hebei.
Originally, they planned to trade with the Youyi Clan, but unexpectedly, they were killed by the chief of the Youyi Clan, Mian Chen.
I had seen this in some information. It was said that Mian Chen killed Wang Hai because he was tempted by wealth.
Unexpectedly, Wang Hai was a little hesitant when he said this. He said that the reason wasn't like that, but that he was caught and killed because he was discovered secretly with Mian Chen's wife.
Hearing this, I was stunned. I didn't expect there to be such a secret.
I was curious, but I was his seventh ancestor in name, so it wasn't appropriate for me to ask about it.
I didn't mention it, but Wang Hai took the initiative to tell me the details. The reason why he appeared in the Spirit Lock Tower was also because of this.
Mian Chen's wife was called Wen Ying. She was originally from the Shang Nation and lived at the border of the Shang Nation.
In the early years, Wang Hai followed his father, Wang Ming, to the border of the Shang Nation to deal with the natural disasters. They passed by Wen Ying's tribe. The tribe suffered a serious natural disaster, so Wang Hai was ordered to stay and deal with it.
I didn't expect that in the process, I would develop feelings for Wen Ying.
However, at that time, the laws of the country were already strict. They didn't allow private marriages. As a prince, Wang Hai's marriage had to be even more strict.
Wang Hai could only wait for his father to return before reporting this matter to him. Unexpectedly, he received an order from the Xia Dynasty's emperor to ask Wang Hai to follow his father, Wang Ming, to deal with the problem of the Yellow River.
This time, it was already the thirteenth year of the Xia Dynasty. Wang Hai still decided to go back to find Wen Ying. Regardless of whether she was already married or not, he had to see her.
At this time, it was already the thirteenth year of the Xia Dynasty. Wang Hai still decided to go back and find Wen Ying. Whether or not she was already married, he still had to see her.
Unexpectedly, when Wang Hai returned to find Wen Ying, he was told that she had been kidnapped by the You Yi Clan.
Wang Hai knew that the You Yi Clan was arrogant. They had offended the Shang Nation's borders for many years, but he couldn't do anything to them.
However, Wang Hai still couldn't let go of Wen Ying, so he thought of a way. He led a caravan to the You Yi Clan and used the name of trade to find Wen Ying's whereabouts.
He didn't expect that when he found Wen Ying, she was already the wife of the You Yi Clan's leader.
Seeing this, Wang Hai's heart was already dead. He didn't expect that Wen Ying would marry his enemy.
However, when Wang Hai heard that Wen Ying had been bullied by Mian Chen for many years and lived a miserable life, he felt indignant.
Originally, during the period of slavery, women were considered the property of men. They were only used as tools to give birth to children. They had no social status at all.
If it was an ordinary woman, it would be fine. However, Wen Ying was Wang Hai's most beloved person. It was difficult for Wang Hai to calm down after she suffered such humiliation.
Then, he wanted to secretly leave the You Yi Clan with Wen Ying. Unexpectedly, someone told him, and Mian Chen learned of the news in advance.
While Wang Hai was drunk, Mian Chen killed him.
Not only that, Mian Chen also cut up Wang Hai's corpse and scattered it in the wilderness.
Wen Ying didn't have a good ending either. After she was killed by Mian Chen, her soul was sent into the Nine Hells to suffer the pain of purgatory.
Originally, they thought that the two of them weren't fated to be married in their lives. After they died, they could at least be a ghost couple.
However, they didn't think that after Wang Hai died, his resentment was too great. His soul didn't return to the Nine Hells. Instead, he turned into a big monster with his remains.
Of course, the big monster he turned into was not a monster. He just floated alone in the human world. His cultivation was great, but no matter what he did, he couldn't enter the Nine Hells and meet up with Wen Ying.
Time flew by, and after several thousand years, things suddenly took a turn for the better.
Around the time of the Tang and Song Dynasties, a powerful ghost in the Nine Hells broke through the restriction between the human world and the Nine Hells and escaped. It left behind a passage to the Nine Hells.
After getting the news, Wang Hai immediately rushed to the location of the restriction. Unexpectedly, a monk had already built a pagoda there.
This was a rare opportunity. Wang Hai definitely wouldn't give it up like this.
Then, he fought with the monk. He planned to push down the pagoda and reopen the restriction.
However, after cultivating for thousands of years, he wasn't a match for the monk. In the end, he didn't enter the Nine Hells. Instead, he was imprisoned in the pagoda.
Before the monk left, he told Wang Hai that the day he let go of his obsession would be the day his soul returned to the Nine Hells.
Then, Wang Hai didn't say anything else.
I clearly detected a trace of desolation in his empty pupils.
According to the historical records, although Wang Hai was very successful, he was a monarch who liked to indulge in pleasure.
However, most of the history was fabricated. I was afraid that what he said was the truth.
It seemed that Wang Hai was an infatuated man.
Although the matter between him and Wen Ying seemed to go against human ethics, there was no right or wrong in love. This was something I knew very well.
Thinking about this, I heaved a sigh of relief. I didn't dare to comment on this matter, but the infatuated man in front of me was suffering.
From his previous words, I knew that the monk was a bhikkhu.
It seemed that this matter was also related to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
The Bodhisattva had given me another difficult problem. I didn't know if he wanted me to help Wang Hai or take him away.
From the bottom of my heart, I was inclined to take him away. Not to mention the fact that he would be a good helper if he stayed by my side, I couldn't let him suffer in this place because of the blood connection between us.
After thinking for a while, I told him my plan.
To my surprise, Wang Hai shook his head and knelt down.
"My ancestor has ordered me to follow.
However, I've been waiting here for more than one thousand years, hoping to see Wen Ying one day.
If I can see her again, I'm willing to let her disappear now. "
After listening to him, my heart tightened.
I couldn't help but think of Bi 'an, who was still waiting for me in the Fire God Temple. Bi' an and I, Wang Hai and Wen Ying, although our experiences were different, the twists and turns were similar. Could it be that infatuation could be inherited through the blood?
I was silent for a while, hesitating about what to do.
He had mentioned that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had told him before he left that he could only see Wen Ying after he had completely let go of his obsession.
I couldn't bear to let him stay here, but he didn't want to leave with me. The only thing I could do was to help him let go of his obsession and see Wen Ying.
Wang Hai didn't respond to my words, he just kept shaking his head and muttering the word 'obsession'.
Seeing him like that, I frowned. The obsession that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had mentioned was the reason why Wang Hai had been here for several thousand years.
If I asked him to let go of his obsession, wouldn't it be the same as asking him to let go of Wen Ying?
What would be the point of him waiting for several thousand years?
Even if he could enter the Netherworld and see Wen Ying, what would be the point?
I couldn't bear it. I wanted to talk to him, but I swallowed my words.
If I were in Wang Hai's shoes, I'd probably make the same choice as him.
At this moment, Wang Hai was crouching on the ground, holding his head. He kept muttering the word obsession.
After a long time, he finally quieted down. He sat on the ground and didn't move, looking at the roof blankly.
