Chapter 643: Benson Sells Himself
After handing over the supplies, Benson hurried all the way and finally arrived at the outskirts of Nihonbashi Ikeke Shoke Castle in Tokyo's Chuo Ward on the morning of August 2. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Benson, who was hurrying all the way, had a look of exhaustion on his face, but his eyes revealed excitement.
"Is this where that Chi Shang Daeun lives? Sure enough, it's mysterious enough. Benson walked alone along the shrine's stone path, looking at the scenery around him from time to time, muttering softly to himself.
Although Benson believes in cults in the United States, he usually does not have much contact with religion in some matters, first, because the reputation of the cult in his envelope is too stinky, he does not dare to appear at all, and he belongs to the type of dying in the light; The second point is that he himself has a military position, and he does not have much time to think about these things.
So now walking into the Chi Shang family shrine, Benson is extremely curious about everything around him, even if it is just a stone sculpture, he can't wait to put his face on it and study it for a while. This made the Japanese people who passed by around me laugh.
Intrigued by everything around him, it took Benson about half an hour to walk through the shrine area to the castle perimeter wall.
"Oh, this city wall is still full, it seems that Master Chi Shang is still very wealthy."
After muttering to himself, Benson walked to the main entrance and said to a guard dressed in black, "May I ask if this is the mansion of Lord Chishang?" I'm Major Benson of the U.S. Army in Japan, and I'm here to visit Master Chishang today, can I please share the same interpretation? ”
Listening to the strange Japanese of the foreigner in front of him, the black-clothed guard's eyelids twitched slightly, and then said politely in English: "The guest can speak English, I can understand it." ”
Hearing that the other party actually knew English, Benson immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, to be honest, he really didn't have much talent for Japanese, and he had been practicing for a while, and he couldn't even have basic conversations. The sentence just now was memorized by surprise before he came, but it didn't seem to work very well.
Benson repeated what he had said in English, and the black-clad guard immediately replied, "Guest, please wait a moment, and I'll inform you." ”
After replying, the black-clad guard turned and entered a break room under the city walls, and reported the situation to the castle by phone.
Looking at the guard who had left to call the phone, Benson muttered, "It's surprising that this Japanese doorman can speak English." ”
Without making Benson wait too long, after about three minutes or so, the black-clothed guard came back and said, "Guests, please, Lord Castle invites you in." ”
Nodding his head in thanks, Benson stepped through the door that seemed mysterious to him.
"Oh, what do I see? This, how can there be lions and tigers here, this is really a mysterious place. Looking at the huge beast shadows that passed by from time to time in the forest in the distance, Benson muttered in surprise.
Although he was surprised that there were tigers and lions in the yard, Benson was not much afraid in his heart. Because he knew that since this Lord Chi Shang had scattered these beasts outside, he would definitely not let them harm the passers-by.
Bensen's guess was indeed right, in order to prevent the beasts in the courtyard from hurting people, Chi Shang Zhenyi deliberately arranged expulsion formations on both sides of the road. These expulsion formations can stimulate the beast's sense of smell and make it dare not approach.
Walking across the stone bridge to the island in the middle of the lake, Benson adjusted his state slightly and walked directly into the castle. Then he was led by the maid who had been waiting here for a long time to the gate of the castle tower on the fifth floor of the castle.
"Guest, the head of the family is already waiting inside." Haruko Takagi, who has the attributes of a scholar, uses self-taught English.
"Thank you, beautiful young lady."
Benson thanked him and knocked on the door in front of him with a deep breath.
"Knock~Knock~~~"
Knowing that it was Benson, a cultist, outside the door, Chi Shang Zhenyi said directly: "Come in." ”
"Gala~~~"
After entering the house and carefully closing the door, Benson immediately said respectfully: "I didn't bring any good gifts with me this time, I only brought the golden radish from Korea to Master Ji Shang. ”
With that, Ben carefully took out a good mahogany box from his bosom and handed it over.
Golden radish? It's really surprising that Chi Shang Zhenyi is really interested in this gift, but thinking of the little sticks' love for radish and cabbage, maybe someone really makes golden radish for appreciation.
Although it is important not to care about this 'golden radish', but after all, this is a piece of people's hearts, so it is difficult for him to refuse.
"Then thank you Major Benson for the gift."
Saying that, Chi Shang Zhenyi reached out to take the box, and then stretched out his hand to let go: "Please sit, I don't know what happened to Major Benson's visit this time." ”
Benson, who had just finished it, heard Chi Shang's sincere question, and did not answer immediately, but muttered for a few seconds before speaking: "Since the last time I met Master Chi Shang, I feel that many of my previous understandings have been shaken. So this time, I came here to find the answer in my heart from you, Master Chishang. ”
After listening to Benson's words, Chi Shang Zhenyi knew in his heart that the other party must now be shaken by the sect he believes in now.
"The answer? Everyone actually has their own answer in their hearts, I'm afraid that now that Major Benson has the answer, do you still need to ask me? Chi Shang really said something with a thick pretense.
Although Chi Shang's true intention was very powerful, he felt something different in his ears when he heard Benson, a confused person.
'Master Chi Shang is worthy of being a powerful cultivator, and the words he said sound so philosophical, and it is really worth pondering and studying. Benson said with adoration in his heart.
Suppressing the fiery emotions in his heart and taking a deep breath, Benson said in a deep voice: "Master Chishang's eyes are brighter than the sun, and you can see everything in my heart at a glance. ”
"Indeed, since the last time I met you on the destroyer, I have had a lot of confusion about my former beliefs."
"I used to believe in demons and ghosts as my heart, believing that only demons and ghosts can give me immortality and keep me alive in the world."
"But the last time I heard your lord say that there was a way to turn me into a ghost, I was very excited."
But when the adults left, I calmed down and thought about it, and I couldn't help but start to have doubts in my heart. Since you have the power to turn me into a ghost, is the ghost still worth believing in? ”
"After this thought arose in my heart, the belief in my heart began to waver, and I only knew that yesterday I began to completely deny the belief I once had."
"Now I feel like I'm lost, so I'd like to ask Ji Shang-sama to help me."
After finishing speaking, Benson directly followed Japanese etiquette and made a seat in front of Chi Shang Zhenyi.
Looking at Benson lying on the ground like a big toad, Chi Shang Zhenyi's eyes flashed for a while, and he didn't know what way to treat this guy.
In the past, Ji Shang Zhenyi just wanted to take advantage of the other party, but now it seems that the plan can be changed.
Pondering Pringles, Chi Shang said slowly: "I want to help, how do you want me to help you?" ”
Bensen, who was lying on the ground like a big toad, immediately raised his head when he heard Chi Shang's sincere words: "I am willing to abandon the darkness and join Master Chi Shang, learn the tall Yin and Yang Technique with you, and ask Lord Chi Shang to accept me." ”
"First of all, your Chinese idiom of abandoning the dark and turning to the light is not bad, but I'm sorry, I won't accept apprentices, and the yin and yang art in my hands will only be taught to the descendants of the Chi Shang family." Looking at Benson, who looked eager and eager, Chi Shang said quietly.
Hearing that Chi Shang really meant not to teach apprentices, Benson immediately showed a look of disappointment on his face. But this setback is nothing, he is willing to persist in his efforts for the pursuit of his heart.
"Then I would like Lord Chi Shang to be your godfather, and please ask Lord Chi Shang to be gracious to me, I promise that I will work hard." Benson thirsted again.
Poof, people are godfathers themselves, Chi Shang really didn't want to squirt out the overnight meal, this foreign devil really has no bottom line.
"You don't need to talk about accepting apprentices, the rules will not change. Although the apprentice is not good, it is okay to accept you as a general, as long as you become my family general, I will still teach you some techniques. But why should I accept you, and what is there about you that deserves to be accepted by me? Ji Shang Zhenyi looked at Benson opposite with a scrutinizing expression.
Hearing Chi Shang's true words, although Benson felt a little lost in his heart, he quickly recovered. Although he can't be an apprentice as a godson, it's also very good to be a general.
Benson has been in Japan for a while, and he has some understanding of Japanese culture, and he knows that the position of the family general is similar to the knights of the Western lords in the story, they are all noble, not ashamed of the subordinates.
And to be able to sell himself to such a noble adult, Benson felt that it was his honor.
"I am willing to offer all the property in my hands to Lord Chi Shang and contribute to the Chi Shang family; I am willing to do everything I can to serve the Chi Shang family; I'm willing to put ......" In order to sell himself successfully, Benson tried to prove his usefulness, hoping that Ji Shang Zhenyi would be able to accept it.
Listening to Benson's promises, Chi Shang's true mind was already happy. He just made a simple estimate that if he took this foreigner into his hands, he would directly earn millions of dollars in assets.
Although Chi Shang really does not lack this money, this kind of door-to-door benefit is always gratifying.
Another thing that interests Chi Shang is that this Benson is willing to be an internal agent for the Chi Shang family to win over those former members of the Demon and Ghost Sect, and strive to make them all convert to the ancestors of the Chi Shang family.
Such a hard-working slave who sold himself and donated his wealth, Chi Shang Zhenyi really couldn't think of any reason for him to refuse the other party.
Isn't it just to teach a few spells, simple, a contract energy talisman, plus two one-grade spells to get it directly. The cost is very low, but the return is very high, and it is well worth it.
Because there are many benefits, when Benson's promise just stopped, Chi Shang Zhenyi said: "Okay, your integrity has greatly moved me, and I agree to accept you as the general of the Chi Shang family." ”
Benson, who was a little dry-mouthed, heard Chi Shang's words, and immediately glared at him excitedly: "Chi, Master Chishang, you, you said that you agreed to accept me as a general?" ”
Looking at Benson, who was trembling with his body that was excited after successfully selling himself, Chi Shangzhenyi's face softened slightly: "Well, I agree to accept you as my Chi Shangjiang's general, but you have to sign a contract." ”
"This contract is not a blank paper contract for ordinary people, this soul contract, as long as it is signed, there is no chance of repentance, do you agree?"
After saying this, Chi Shang Zhenyi was still a little worried about whether it would scare him away, after all, signing a soul contract sounded scary.
However, he Chi Shang really didn't expect that it was this Benson who actually agreed, and what he said was very strange.
"The devil's contract, once you sign it, you can't go back for life, it's too exciting, I'm willing to sign it."
After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that there was something wrong with his words, and Benson immediately added: "Oh, my lord, I don't mean that you are a devil, I mean that this contract is very similar to the legendary devil's contract, and it is bound to the soul of a person." ”
Looking at Benson, who waved his hand to explain, Chi Shang really didn't want to worry too much about this American with brain circuit problems, so he waved his hand and said, "I know it's here, come and sign a contract." ”
After speaking, Chi Shang Zhenyi flipped his right hand, and the middle space wrench finger expelled a contract energy talisman that emitted a faint red light and said: "This is a contract energy talisman, as long as you use it, you will be loyal to my Chi Shang family for the rest of your life, and you must not betray it." Once the betrayal is born in your heart, the energy in your body will spontaneously combust and burn you to ashes, and even your soul will not survive. ”
Benson, who looked confused and curious, listened to Chi Shang's sincere introduction, and carefully took the talisman that emitted red light.
However, as soon as he took the talisman in his hand, Benson felt his head dizzy, and then a paragraph appeared in his mind.
After coming back to his senses, Benson looked at the talisman in his hand with a crazy face, and kept whispering to himself: "Oh buy it, it's amazing, this is simply amazing, you can directly implant the voice in my mind, which is 100 million years more advanced than technology." ”
When the voice of self-muttering fell, Benson no longer hesitated, and immediately bit the tip of his tongue according to the introduction in the talisman, sprayed a mouthful of blood on the talisman, and then put the talisman in the center of his head.
Looking at Ben Sen, whose face gradually began to turn pale and his body trembled slightly, Chi Shang really knew that this guy was now stimulated by the runes carved by the talisman in the sea of spiritual consciousness. And this contract energy talisman was specially refined by him when he was refining the magic weapon a few days ago.
The reason why this kind of contract energy talisman was refined was because Chi Shang really thought that the Chi Shang family was getting bigger and bigger now, but there were few people available in his hands, counting the two or six people in Yamada Xiong, plus the peripheral hands of the Takayama brothers and Matsuda Yoshiko, there were a total of ten people in their hands.
There are so few people available, and it will definitely not work, and in the future, Sakura will expand and there will be places to employ people, and Chi Shang Zhenyi can't let important positions be left with people who are not at ease.
