Chapter 113: Everyone Has Their Own Story (Character Design)
The Ghost Forge is a wonderful flower among the ghosts of the Netherworld.
While the other ghost kings were fighting shirtless, he was striking iron. While the other goblins were trying their best to take over the younger brother to expand his territory, he was digging holes. When all the goblins thought that Fire Abyss City and the Spirit Palace Tower were going to join forces to sweep through the Netherworld, he opened the passage to buy weapons.
He likes to wear Taoist robes.,He has a special hobby for all things that cultivators.。 If it weren't for the fact that the Ghost Forge Daoist did have the characteristics of a ghost, the Ghost Kings would have guessed that he was an inner ghost sent by a cultivator.
In fact, the Ghost Forge has always adhered to the principle of fair trade, as long as you have money and goods, all weapons in Fire Abyss City can be purchased. For this alone, the ghosts who evolved from the Age of Hand-to-Hand Combat to the Iron Age are very grateful to the Oni Forge Man. Of course, it is not for nothing that the Ghost King wants to tie him back to serve himself, but the Inspiration King is unusually partial to the Ghost Forging Daoist, and even if the expected strong alliance does not happen, the Inspiration King still unilaterally declares the protection of Fire Abyss City.
Now it seems that the Inspiration King should have known some unknown secrets, so he would provide protection for the Ghost Forge Daoist.
Yuquan's expression was a little strange. She also knew a little bit about the roots of the Ghost Forging Dao Man, but she didn't know what the Inspiration King knew. At the beginning, I didn't feel anything when the master and apprentice of the Ghost Forging Daoist visited Penglai Mountain, and after thinking about it, someone may have deliberately arranged it when I met the Ghost Forging Daoist.
Yuquan is an authentic descendant of the mountain gate, and his clothing, food, housing and transportation are all in the inner gate on weekdays, and he has very little contact with ordinary disciples. Although the master and apprentice of the Ghost Forging Daoist were invited to build weapons, they only stayed at the inner gate during their work, and they still lived in the Welcome Building during their rest time. It just so happened that there was a bullying incident when Yuquan passed through the outer gate, and it was to the guests from outside? Is it really a fake rule for a famous family?
Yuquan has an upright temperament, and he can do whatever he wants to clean up a few unsuccessful outer disciples. As for making friends with the ghost forging people in the future, it can only be said that it is the fate of the two people. But the more I think about it, the more strange it becomes, how can a ghost get the approval of the casting master to become a disciple, and even be brought into someone else's mountain gate? A cultivator never relents in slaying demons and demons, how did a ghost forging person survive in the monastic world? Are all other monastic sects blind?
Yuquan only had little experience in personnel, and after a few days, he figured out the joint and went to ask the head in person. It was also at that time that the head of Penglai Mountain revealed a little rumor.
The ghost forging Taoist had a friendship with the head of Penglai Mountain.
"Are you disgusted by the ghosts' often irrational and rough behavior, and can't get along with ordinary ghosts?"
"Have you always had a crush on human beings and don't have the urge to actively absorb essence?"
The King of Inspiration told the doubts that the Ghost Forging Daoist had buried in his heart for many years, and every time he said a word, the Ghost Forging Daoist's face turned pale.
"You chose Fire Abyss City as your place to live, in addition to underground minerals and the use of magma, but also to avoid conflict with other ghosts, am I right?"
"I just hate pointless fights. The Oni Forge explained.
"You don't say this kind of 'ghost', ghost forging! Look at the ghosts around you, which one of them didn't kill each other from the beginning of the yin ghosts, and it took a long time for the weak to grow to this point? Only when we evolve to a higher level and have reason will we say goodbye to the life of Gu worms. But there's no denying that we're living by devouring the essence of our kind!"
"Compromises, rules, society, it's something we learned, it's not a ghost's nature. But you, you seem to have accepted these things from the beginning, but you don't have the primitive wildness of ghosts. You yourself are aware of it, your actions follow another set of rules of survival, and you will be more comfortable in the world!"
"I have lived on earth for a long time......"
"Don't use the environment as an excuse, I'm talking about nature. The King of Inspiration didn't give the ghost forging man a chance to defend himself: "When the ghost sees what he wants, do you know what we will do? Go to rob, go to plunder! Follow your own desires, and fight for your desires! This is the source of the power of the ghosts, and it is the driving force of our evolution! Chen Li did when he came to the door because of the ghost knife, what did you do?"
The Ghost Forge was silent.
When Chen Li told the Ghost Forging Daoist about the corpse food created by the Evil Forging Method, the Ghost Forging Daoist knew that it was the Inspiration King who leaked the method of forging the Ghost Knife. The medicine to crack the possession of the ghost knife was also prepared at the suggestion of the King of Inspiration, just in time for Chen Li to take back.
Because the source of the matter is himself, the Oni Forge has always felt guilty about the victim. When Chen Li tentatively asked to take away the arsenal of weapons, the Ghost Forging Dao would take out the lotus flower as compensation. On the day when Chen Li was brought back to the netherworld by the artificial lake, the Ghost Forging Daoist made a promise to Liu Guanxi to make a Lianhua scabbard.
As the Inspiration King said, such a reaction is not "ghostly".
"You have the body of a ghost, you have the appearance of a ghost. Even the core of the goblin, you have always thought of yourself as a goblin. But inside you, what lives in your mind is a human named Ghost Forging!" The Inspiration King pointed a scalpel on Chen Li's forehead and drew a thin red line: "Just like here, although it is stuffed with, pee, and fart, he is still a human being, and he still follows the basic principles of human beings!"
"Originally, I didn't dare to jump to conclusions, because you are too much of a ghost! No, you are a ghost in every way, but your spirit belongs to humans. I want to thank you, Yuquan Zhenren, if it weren't for your example, I would never have been able to explain why a ghost has a human soul!" the King of Inspiration added another stroke to Chen Li's head, forming a cross with the previous scars.
"Goblins can't get into demons, that's what you told me. ”
"My avenue is not to enter the demon, but only to enter the demon!"
"But you denied the possibility of the goblin using the same method!" said the King of Inspiration with a sneer, "Thank you for telling you the truth, you are the most honest of all the humans I have dealt with! But this quality does not mean that you will be more respected in the netherworld or in the human world...... From then on, I knew what was wrong with the ghost forging!"
"One of the most important aspects of my dealings with humans is the study of the birth of ghosts. This question is not only curious about you humans, but I am also very concerned about why tens of thousands of mindless ghosts devour each other and give birth to ghosts with minds. I've bought a lot of goblins, you know. ”
"I thought those big ghosts had made a pact with you!"
"No, no, no, so you're the work of the human mind...... In the netherworld, except for the ghost king, all of them are slaves, and they are all tools of the ghost king. You've lived in the Netherworld for hundreds of years, how come you don't even understand this truth?" the King of Inspiration snapped his fingers, and a slave walked through the door. On weekdays, Chen Li's food and clothing are sent in by him.
The King of Inspiration grabbed the slave's head and blew it up with ease.
"It's like this. ”
The Ghost Forging Daoist was furious: "Ridiculous! Brutal! You have no reason to do this to him!"
"In the netherworld, it's all about strength. The reason is nothing more than one of the names of strength. No goblin will think I've done something wrong, and no goblin will avenge him. It's always you who is abnormal, ghost forging!"
"Do you think that the big ghosts who squatted in front of the iron furnace in Huoyuan City were all sent by other ghost kings who signed a contract with me? No, these are the goods they use to pledge their debts, and I am the owner of the goods! As long as I want, I can let one of the water ghosts who hate the fire the most pick up the hammer, and I can also give them to humans for experiments!"
"You have always rejected the life of the netherworld and the imprint that the netherworld has put on you, so you don't understand the rules of the netherworld at all!" The Inspiration King laughed: "You are like a lion breaking into the wolves, and you are trying to pretend to be blind. ”
"I thought you were different from other ghosts!" "The ghost forging man said in a deep voice, "Open trade, pass through the haves and haves, and use the way of trade instead of fighting, aren't you also using human methods?"
"I'm just learning about human beings, I'm not the same as you. If I didn't live this way, I would be devoured by other ghost kings, but you are different, you consciously abide by the rules of human beings! It's funny, the deeper I come into contact with humans, the more I find that there are people among humans who follow the rules of the netherworld. Especially, the Inspiration King glanced at the Jade Spring: "Those cultivators who are high above!"
"When I made a deal, I specifically asked to offset it with the information of the ghost birth experiment, although humans tried their best to cover it up, and there was no way to hide some basic things. ”
Speaking of the ghost birth experiment, Yuquan couldn't help asking, "How did they conduct the experiment, and what did they use?"
As soon as Yuquan interjected, the Inspiration King didn't say anything.
"Yuquan Zhenren, you have occupied Yin Spring for many years, and you can't count the number of Yin Ghosts born from Yin Spring, right? Do you know what conditions are required for the birth of Yin Ghosts?"
"First of all, there is a certain level of ghostly spirit. However, there are not many ghosts needed, and any place outside can be satisfied. I found it when I drained the Yin Spring to lure the ghosts into my body, and there were no Yin ghosts in the Yin Spring for the next few days. Yuquan replied. If it weren't for the strange situation, Yuquan would be very willing to have an in-depth discussion with the King of Inspiration on this topic.
"The second is the need for something to rely on. No amount of ghost energy can give birth to a yin ghost out of thin air, and in order for a yin ghost to be produced, it is necessary to add something dependent to the ghost qi. Anything is fine, dust, branches, stones, but after the Yin Ghost is born, it can break away from the things that depend on it, and it does not rely on the things to rely on to condense the core. ”
Yuquan occupies a great location, although there is no special study of the birth of yin ghosts, and some rules can be summed up by experience alone.
"In addition, although we all say that yin ghosts don't have thoughts, different yin ghosts actually have 'personalities'!"
"Some Yin ghosts are more lively, and they will be impatient to devour their own kind as soon as they are born. Some Yin ghosts are more quiet and will not actively devour their own kind. However, the latter usually falls into the mouths of the former, and very few succeed in evolving into ghosts. ”
