Chapter 44: Apprenticeship (1)
Zhong Hou remembered hearing some stories from the old man before, saying that there were often some unclean things in the places where the yin qi gathered, and they lived by devouring the yang energy and essence blood of living beings, and the bones of those who were devoured were often gone.
Over time, the place will become a complete place of death, not to mention the animals, and eventually even the flowers and trees will slowly wither and turn into barrenness.
So many people died in Gaojia Village at once, and they all died in vain, it is not surprising that they all turned into unjust souls.
In this way, it is really possible that this place will become a place where yin qi gathers.
Thinking of the rumored unjust soul asking for his life, Zhong Hou was terrified on the spot, and hurriedly took a step and rushed away.
As soon as Zhong Hou raised his foot, an eerie voice came into his ears.
I only heard the voice say: "What are you doing in such a hurry, aren't you hungry, I have food here." ”
The sudden sound made Zhong Hou, who was already a little flustered, even more frightened, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
looked around, but didn't find where the sound came from, which made Zhong Hou even more sure that he had touched something unclean.
"Oh my mother, I really let Lao Tzu hit the ghost. Zhong Hou shouted, and ran out desperately, only hating his parents for having two legs less.
It's just that he didn't take a few steps this time, and Zhong Hou was horrified to find that his feet began to disobey the call. Not to mention his feet, he even felt as if his whole body was frozen, and he couldn't move at all.
No matter what, Zhong Hou has just passed his fifteenth birthday, and he can only be regarded as a half-old teenager, and his psychological tolerance is very limited.
At this moment, he didn't know if he was stunned or controlled by a 'ghost', and a strong sense of fear made him feel a rush of urine in an instant, and he almost didn't hold back.
"Little one, aren't you hungry, I have something to eat here, do you want to have some? Hey, hey, hey... The seeping voice sounded again, and there was a shocking confusion in it, which made Zhong Hou's spirit trance.
Especially now that he is hungry, hearing that there is food makes his psychological defense completely collapse.
At this moment, there was a hint of coolness from the necklace around his neck, which made Zhong Hou wake up instantly.
This necklace was given by Uncle Zhou when he was leaving, and the white jade beads were inlaid in the form of pendants.
At that time, Zhou Boqian told Zhong Hou not to leave him no matter what the situation, he had already saved his life before, and he didn't expect to play a role at this critical moment.
"Huh... I didn't expect the little guy to have such a star weapon, it seems that the identity background of the little guy is not simple. The owner of the mysterious voice seemed to have discovered some novel gadget, and there was a hint of surprise in his tone.
But in this way, the gloom of his disguise was completely broken.
Zhong Hou, who came to his senses, hadn't recovered from the panic just now, and he didn't notice that the other party had been playing tricks on him.
Seeing that his body could move, Zhong Hou didn't want to escape with his life again.
"Little guy, aren't you hungry, I really have something to eat, I don't lie to you. The owner of the voice had no intention of continuing to tease Zhong Hou, and said very sincerely.
Zhong Hou didn't want to pay attention to what the other party said, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find food when he left this ghost place, but his stomach was very angry at this time, and his face turned red all of a sudden.
"I have roast chicken here, just enough to eat. Well... It's so fragrant... ”
The other party also made a chewing sound as he spoke, which caused Zhong Hou's saliva to flow.
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
In the end, desire overcame fear, and Zhong Hou stopped abruptly. And the change in the other party's tone did make Zhong Hou's heart settle down a lot, so he decided to ask.
"I, I'm not a human being, I'm not a ghost. The other party didn't expect Zhong Hou to ask this question, but he still replied very honestly.
He is a true immortal, who has broken away from the mortal body, and it is indeed true to say that he is not a human.
It's just that Zhong Hou didn't understand and asked, "It's not a human and it's not a ghost, what are you?"
"I'm not a thing ... Phew, Bah, Bah... I am a thing ... Nor is it ... Oops, you don't understand it anyway, and if you say it, it's nothing. He was caught up in Zhong Hou's words, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Zhong Hou also looked confused, and there are people who can't even tell if they are humans or ghosts?
"Don't talk about this, you come in quickly, eat enough to listen to my story. The other party didn't want to talk to Zhong Hou anymore, and went straight to the point.
Although Zhong Hou did not escape, his vigilance did not let go at all, and when he saw the other party making such a strange request, the fear in his heart rose again.
He's not going to trick himself into going somewhere and then eating himself, is he?
It's just that before Zhong Hou refused, a dazzling light in front of him instantly shrouded him, accompanied by a strong pulling force, which made him take a step forward involuntarily.
Just one step away, Zhong Hou has entered an unknown space.
Zhong Hou subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them, the scenery in front of him had completely changed.
In front of me is a snow-white world, this white is a wonderful white, it wraps the whole space, there is no feeling of going up and down, left and right, making people feel as if they are in the void.
Coming to this strange place, Zhong Hou looked around curiously.
In addition to the monotonous white, the most eye-catching thing is just a fat man with a fat head and a big belly.
I saw that the big fat man was three meters tall, Chiguo's upper body was full of explosive muscles, his lower body was only wearing a pair of big pants, his thighs were thicker than Zhong's thick waist, and his messy and fluffy hair was floating at will, and the whole person stood on the spot like a god of war.
However, his big palms were grabbing a roast chicken and tearing it desperately, completely ruining his image.
It was only a short breath, and the roast chicken in the other party's hand was already left with bones.
The other party casually threw the bone, and the bone fell very strangely on the invisible ground and disappeared without a trace.
Zhong Hou was first startled by this space, and then even more shocked by this scene. It was all too unreasonable for him to understand.
The other party didn't speak, just smiled at Zhong Hou, and then threw a roast chicken from where he didn't know where it came from.
Zhong Hou took it, and he was not polite to the other party, and gnawed it in a big gulp.
He is not worried that the roast chicken is poisonous, and with the other party's methods, it is not like playing to kill himself, and there is no need to use those low-level methods.
Zhong Hou was indeed hungry and panicked, and he finished eating in a few bites.
Seeing this, the other party smiled again and said: "Yes, the kid is very edible, and he has the demeanor of my old pig." ”
When a chicken goes down, the feeling of hunger and panic disappears, but it is far from full.
Regardless of whether the other party has malicious intentions or not, anyway, after eating enough, even if the other party wants to kill himself, he must be a full ghost.
So Zhong Hou simply said, "Is there anything else?"
The other party didn't answer, just palmed his hand, and then there was another thing in his hand. This time it was not a roast chicken, but a whole sheep, which was enough for Zhong Hou to eat to support his stomach.
Zhong Hou had seen this kind of method of the other party on Feng Wuji, and he only thought that the other party also had storage space, so he didn't feel strange.
Take the roasted whole lamb and continue to feast.
