Chapter 9: The Key
"It's rare to wake up once, I didn't expect people to be so weak now, huh? Three wishes? What is this kid thinking in his head?"
Just when Chen Ping was excitedly falling into infinity, an old voice suddenly came into his ears.
The old man's face was surprised, his long flowing eyebrows trembled slightly, and he slowly stretched out his finger in Chen Ping's bewildered eyes, and fixed one finger on his forehead.
A breath like a clear spring flowed down his forehead towards his mind, and Chen Ping only felt that his consciousness was slowly converging under the drive of this obscure breath, and the darkness surrounded him from all sides.
After a long time, Chen Ping roared as if he had suddenly woken up, the whole person fell backwards, cold sweat gushed out like a spring, and his eyes were full of incredulity when he looked at the old man.
The ghost knows what just happened, but he actually stayed in his mind, the memories of the past appeared in front of his eyes like a flip book, and he could clearly feel a strange aura standing beside him.
"I just slept for a while, and a thousand years have passed, and the kid from the previous Great Song doesn't know how many times he has been reincarnated now. However, I didn't expect that the aura of the world after a thousand years had really been exhausted and embarked on a different path. ”
The old man shook his head slightly, his eyes revealed indescribable vicissitudes and a trace of remembrance, and his cloudy pupils seemed to have a flash of essence, and the old man's words directly acquiesced to Chen Ping's guess.
Chen Ping was close to the corner of the wall, trembling all over, looking at the old man as if looking at a demon, he had read the novels in the past There was such an exercise as soul searching, and he always thought that this kind of exercise belonged to the last stream, until he also experienced it, and he could really feel the despair like being washed into the depths of the sea.
"Who the hell are you, and what do you want to do to me?"
Chen Ping is also a person who has coded fantasy novels, after experiencing a soul searching technique, he immediately thought of the old goods in front of him, and it is estimated that he is young and handsome, handsome and chic, and the jade tree is in the wind, and the body of a talent has a voyeuristic heart, and he wants to give up on himself.
I thought I had picked up Aladdin's magic lamp.
"Hehe, are you just a spirit, how can you be given away by me. ”
The old man felt the thoughts in Chen Ping's mind, smiled disdainfully, and sat down cross-legged in mid-air, wearing a dull and tattered Taoist robe without wind.
"So what do you want to do? I'll tell you I'm not easy to mess with. ”
Although the old man didn't look like a good person, compared to the evil ghosts in the ruins, it was still much more pleasing to the eye, and after hearing that the old man didn't have any special thoughts about his body, Chen Ping gasped slightly, and his tense body relaxed slightly.
Thinking that he is also a deacon of the underworld, no matter how he says it, he is also a person with a background, he may not be afraid of this old man, and judging from the tone of the old man, this old man who looks like a charlatan is estimated to be at least a thousand years old, and the body has been sealed in the divine pot, so it must not be very powerful. Chen Ping's heart was horizontal, and he decided to put a cruel word to suppress the scene first.
The old man looked at Chen Ping, whose hands were trembling slightly, with a smile on his face, and he didn't mean to compete with young people in his heart, he just sighed that the world was hot and cold, and the children of later generations didn't respect the old, and even looked down on themselves.
The old man cleared his throat, a smile flashed in his cloudy eyes, raised his hands in front of him, and asked slowly:
"Young man, do you want to be reincarnated with memories?"
With a beating in his heart, Chen Ping raised his head in some astonishment, and looked at the old man with a little doubt and even fanatism.
"Can you really let me reincarnate with my memories?"
Chen Ping swallowed his saliva, his attitude was inadvertently much more respectful, if the old man had a way to reincarnate him, he wouldn't need to mix around in this place where birds don't for ten and a half years. Besides, the old man can still let himself be reincarnated with his memories? Isn't this a bug in Cardi?
Could it be that this old man is a high-ranking person in the underworld? And he has grasped his itch so accurately.
"How can I trust you?"
Chen Ping stared at the old man with some suspicion, his face slowly calmed down, and he asked a crucial question.
"In the eighteen states of hell, there are a total of eighteen Ragnarok Lands, as far as I know, in this land, there should be a key condensed by the blood of the ancient gods, as long as you find it, you can step into reincarnation. And I can help you find the key. ”
The old man looked at Chen Ping seriously, and an oval-shaped translucent key slowly emerged from his flat hands, judging from its semi-illusory state, this should be a means similar to holographic projection.
The thousand-year-old goblin really can play some tricks...
Chen Ping looked at the key in the old man's hand with some solemnity, reincarnation can be said to be the core business of the underworld, this ordinary key can actually snatch food from the tiger's mouth, and it also comes with such an invincible bug, this kind of artifact must not be unknown to the underworld, he has this life to rob things from the underworld?
The old man stroked his gray beard and said with a somewhat playful smile: "If the underworld knew where this key was, it would not send a newcomer like you who didn't know anything over, besides, in the past thousand years, countless organizations have known about the existence of this key, and the reason why the underworld can still make it so calm is just because there is no opportunity to trigger the appearance of the key." ”
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Chen Ping understood why he had just entered the underworld, so he would have such good preferential treatment, it turned out that people had already buried the pit and waited for him to jump down.
"The underworld sent me here, it shouldn't just be for me to pick up garbage, right?"
The old man nodded slightly, he had spied on all of Chen Ping's memories before, so it was not difficult to guess the intentions of the underworld.
"It's nothing more than people who have just entered hell to awaken the heart of a child, and the underworld probably can't wait to make this decision, otherwise with their strength, they may not be able to find this key for a few hundred years. ”
Chen Ping frowned slightly, feeling that he was in an invisible iron hand. And this news came too suddenly, if he hadn't picked up this magic pot, it is estimated that he might have been kept in the dark.
Sure enough, there is no good thing in the world that drops pies.
"Since you can't find anything in the underworld, how can you find it, and even if you find the key, you should have been able to step into reincarnation a long time ago, why are you still so depressed that you are staying in this night pot. ”
The corners of his mouth twitched, and if the old man hadn't seen that his soul state was very weak, he would have made Chen Ping, a slut, understand why respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue.
The old man took a deep breath and said slowly: "The heart of the child, there is no one in ten thousand, even me, without the help of the heart of the child, it is still difficult to find the key. And the reason why I say I can help you find the key is because you have a child's heart, and I can cover up the fluctuations of your child's heart and help you find the location of the key. ”
With a slight jump in his heart, Chen Ping realized that the rootless fire in his heart was likely to be the pure heart that the old man said, so in this way, he was the key to finding the key.
Damn, I fell into such a complicated situation without knowing anything, and listening to the old man's tone, not only the underworld is probing the location of the key, but there are also many extraterritorial organizations eyeing this place, and the power is so great that it can even force the underworld to act in advance.
What the hell is a good person with a good reward?
Chen Ping's expression was uncertain, what kind of ghost is this, his pure heart should be an accident, but the underworld can soon see that he is not polluted by the environment, maybe he will do it directly to himself, at this time, the existence of the old man is very important.
"There is no free lunch in the world, what conditions do you have?"
Chen Ping is not a stupid person, he is just lazy to use his brain, so after the old man revealed the hidden background behind him, he understood that the old man had a great kindness to him, and if he waited until he realized that the situation was wrong, he estimated that he was still helping others count the money......
This is hell, where there is no mercy, only all-encompassing exploitation.
