Chapter 5: Skeleton Man Tang Ying
In a dimly lit secret room under the ancestral hall.
"Thirteen, this is Tang Ying, the previous head of the Tang family. Tang Zhendong was standing behind an old man at the moment, and introduced in an indifferent tone.
"Thirteen have seen home... Ancestor!" Tang Thirteen hurriedly saluted.
As soon as he entered this secret room, Tang 13 noticed the old man on the main throne, but the old man's whole body was included in a black robe, and he couldn't see this person's appearance clearly.
"Well, don't be nervous, just ask you a few questions. Looking at Tang Thirteen, who was a little restrained, Tang Ying said softly.
"Yes, Ancestor. β
"Thirteen, as far as I know, your previous strength was indeed the fifth layer of the spirit body, why is it that you have now fully improved by four small realms?"
"Back to the ancestor, I don't know what's going on, I was in the Strange Mountain this afternoon, and after being in a coma for a while, when I woke up, my strength reached the ninth layer of the spirit body. β
Tang Shisan chuckled in his heart, he already had a bad premonition, but he still replied respectfully in a low voice.
"Oh, is it?" Tang Ying smiled in a low voice, and continued in a hoarse voice, "You hid your strength tonight, and even Dong'er didn't even notice it, it seems that you should have some treasure or something on you!" Tang Ying stared at Tang Thirteen with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to uncover the secret on Tang Thirteen's body.
"Ancestor, what does this mean? Could it be that Ancestor wants me to hand over the exercises of concealing strength?"
Tang Thirteen gradually became angry, and this damn old man was really uneasy and kind.
He sensed that something was wrong from the beginning, on the way to follow Tang Zhendong, he carefully recalled Tang Zhendong's last few words, before he thought it was telling him not to hate the family, but now he thinks that he should remind himself to pay more attention, in fact, at that time Tang Zhendong should have vaguely wanted to tell himself to escape, but he didn't think deeply at the time, which caused him to fall into the current situation.
"Hehe, I'm not interested in your method of concealing strength, but if you tell me the secret of your strength improvement, maybe I can give you a great creation", Tang Ying sneered, he scoffed at what Tang Thirteen said about the breath simulation method, in his opinion, Tang Thirteen's breath simulation method is only effective for the Forging God Realm, the strength of the Soul Cultivation Realm is a big gap with the Forging God Realm, a small breath simulation method is not enough for him to risk exposure to lure Tang Thirteen here.
"Ancestor, is this difficult for a strong man?" Tang Thirteen stepped back, he had carefully observed this secret room, the only thing that could escape was the secret door behind him, but if he wanted to escape in front of Tang Ying's eyes, Tang Thirteen was not so naΓ―ve.
All his hopes now are pinned on Tang Zhendong, as long as Tang Zhendong stops Tang Ying for a while, he will have a chance to escape from the secret room, and then find a secluded place to enter the soul land, he believes that even if Tang Ying is strong, he will not find the location of the soul land.
However, Tang Zhendong, who had been standing behind the old man, was like a puppet, and there was no sign of moving.
Could it be that he guessed wrong, so why did Tang Zhendong remind himself?
"Hehe, Dong'er grabbed him, I want to see what your method of improving your strength is" Tang Ying smiled gloomily, in his opinion, Tang Shisan's appearance was undoubtedly a big cake falling from the sky, as long as he obtained this secret, then he could reach the peak of soul cultivation in a short time, maybe he could try to step into the legendary spiritual realm, thinking of this, Tang Ying laughed even more presumptuously.
As soon as Tang Ying's voice fell, Tang Zhendong, who was standing on the side, swept out like the wind, and controlled Tang Thirteen, at this close range, Tang Thirteen actually felt that Tang Zhendong at this time did not have a trace of emotion, completely like a puppet, looking at Tang Zhendong in front of him, a thought was generated in Tang Thirteen's heart, this thought directly shocked Tang Thirteen in a cold sweat, "Could it be..."
"What did you do to the head of the family?" Tang Thirteen yelled at Tang Ying.
Tang Zhendong in front of him must have been controlled by this damn old ghost, otherwise a living monk in the realm of forging gods would not be like a puppet, without the slightest emotion.
"Guy, do you notice it?" Tang Ying stood up, the wide black robe seemed to stand upright, and the intuitive effect that Tang Ying gave Tang Thirteen at this time was that this old man was no longer a normal person, this was completely a night robe supported by a skeleton of bones.
"Say, say it and I can make your death a little more happy, my temper is very bad, but don't anger me. Tang Ying flashed over to Tang Thirteen, and then lifted the hat on his head, leaking out a fleshless skull.
A pair of bloodshot eyes stuck to the skull greedily stared at the lost Tang Thirteen.
At this time, Tang Shisan's back was already soaked, and he would never have thought that the old man who was originally alive had turned into a skeleton in the blink of an eye, and it was still a skeleton that could walk freely.
"Goolong", Tang Shisan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, what he encountered today directly subverted his cognition in this life, what kind of world is this world, Tang Shisan let out a helpless cry in his heart.
"I... I said, will you let me go?" Tang Thirteen asked in shock, at this time he could no longer be calm, and everything in front of him gave him too much shock.
"Tell me what you know, or you'll end up miserable, it's been a long time since I've sucked the fresh flesh of a living person." β
As he spoke, a bloody tongue sticks out of the skull's mouth, and it looks like a demon.
Tang Thirteen was directly stunned by the scene in front of him, this skull body and the infiltrating sound it emitted were comparable to Sadako, and it was also a live version, at such a close distance, it was extremely difficult for Tang Thirteen not to have a heart attack.
"Hehe, take him to the dungeon", after Tang Ying returned to his original appearance, he ordered Tang Zhendong, but then he changed his mind after thinking about it, "Slow, arrange for him to go to the Iron Wood Forest tomorrow, and catch him directly on the way." With that, he clicked on Tang Shisan's body a few more times, laughed a few times, and then disappeared into the secret room.
And Tang Zhendong took Tang 13 back to Tang 13's courtyard, and then left quietly.
When Tang Zhendong walked for a while, Tang Shisan slowly opened his eyes, in fact, he had already woken up after he left the secret room, and a cool consciousness of the purple gold token in his mind poured into his consciousness, thus waking him up, and the soul control method that Tang Ying had performed on Tang Shisan's body when he was leaving was also eliminated by the purple gold token in his mind.
The purple gold token in his mind was extremely weird, this Tang Thirteen already knew when he was in the soul land, at that time, when his consciousness touched the token, it was absorbed into it, and when the consciousness returned to himself, Tang Thirteen realized that there should be a huge secret hidden in the purple gold token.
After experiencing tonight's events, Tang Thirteen felt more and more that he had to escape from the Tang family and even Guyuan City as soon as possible, and before he had the strength to confront Tang Ying, he had to disappear completely.
However, Xian'er Qing'er was still in the Tang family, which was also what Tang Shisan was extremely worried about, so Xian'er had to be notified before leaving.
But tonight, Tang Shisan didn't dare to make any more moves, because his current situation was likely to be monitored by Tang Zhendong, he didn't dare to bet, the only way now was to tell Xian'er the Tang family before leaving the Tang family tomorrow.
Tang Thirteen carefully planned his plan for tomorrow, and when dawn came, Tang Thirteen was still at a loss.
"Knock... Knock knock..."A hurried knock on the door pulled Tang Thirteen back to reality, "Let's take one step at a time", Tang Thirteen said to himself, now this situation is pale in the face of absolute strength, any strategy is powerless, all that can be done is to do his best.
However, in order not to attract the attention of others, that old ghost actually let himself follow the people in the family to the Iron Wood Forest today, which really gave Tang Shisan an an excellent chance to escape.
"Hehe, old ghost, wait, last night's account master will remember, and when the time comes, you will spit it out with interest!"
