Chapter 49: The Old Ghost
As the chanting spell in Xu Fei's mouth slowly sounded, the blood marks on the strong man's face also began to squirm strangely, and several girls saw that their hairs stood on end, and they turned their heads away from looking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, Xu Fei wouldn't dare to look at it, a guy like him who was used to seeing all kinds of deaths, and even dissected highly decomposed corpses, saw this kind of wriggling blood marks at most felt novel and weird, as for wanting to make him feel disgusting and scared, it was estimated that it was a little choking.
It's just that Xu Fei looked strange when he saw the end, because he couldn't figure out whether this 'soul contract' should be considered a success or a failure.
"Master."
"Uh...... You...... Can you manipulate this body again? Xu Fei was quite speechless, he never expected that what he finally got out after a long time of hard work was just a spirit body.
This result is too unexpected, although Xu Fei's operation is somewhat different from the necromancer's record, but if it is wrong, it will fail, what does it mean to get a soul out? It's completely different from the instructions in the notes.
According to the necromancer's account, this method can 'resurrect' the soul of the corpse, but the resurrected soul is no longer the original soul in the corpse, it has no memory of the deceased, except for the consciousness of everything else, as if it were a fully newborn baby. It's just that although this soul has no memories of life, it is awakened in the corpse, which makes it highly compatible with this corpse, and there will be no stagnation when acting.
This method is often used by necromancers to make stand-ins, and after the corpse is resurrected, the necromancer can use a special method to 'copy' some of his own memories into the blank soul body, and after possessing these memories, the soul body will seem to have become another self from then on. If the resulting corpse is 'fresh' enough for it to walk down the street, even the priests of the Temple of Light may not be able to find it.
Necromancers practice the power of death, and their bodies exude a gloomy aura at all times, and they can easily distinguish it even if they are seen by an ordinary person, so they need to use a stand-in to do many things. This method of making a double has been refined by countless generations of necromancers, and it is now possible to make a double as if it were a living person. If the corpse found is 'fresh' enough, the stand-in will even retain most of the strength in front of it.
The freshness of the body Xu Fei is looking for is definitely up to standard, and it can even be said to be beyond the standard. Because the strong man was a living person at all, he was just hypnotized by Xu Fei with drugs. It stands to reason that using such a body as a material for the 'stand-in technique' should have a higher success rate, and the strength retained should also be more. After all, this guy's soul is originally alive, his soul has never died, and his memory will naturally not be lost, and with the combat experience of 'life', his combat effectiveness is naturally much higher than that of the dead and resurrected.
However, Xu Fei didn't know that in fact, the biggest reason for his failure this time was precisely because he was looking for a living body. One of the key aspects of this secret technique, which the necromancer calls a 'stand-in', is 'reversal', and the so-called reversal naturally makes the corpse resurrect from the dead. When carrying out this link, the necromancer will absorb the dead qi of the corpse, and the dead qi is the basis for the formation of the power of death, and the first step of the necromancer's practice is to absorb the dead qi, so in this secret technique, this problem is not pointed out at all.
And Xu Fei never planned to be a necromancer at all, so naturally he didn't have the knowledge to study necromancers in depth. Knowing nothing about this stand-in technique is the biggest reason for Xu Fei's failure. In the reversal link, because Xu Fei was looking for a living body, what was absorbed by Xu Fei became the vitality of the strong man, so after this link, the strong man hiccuped directly.
As for why a soul was summoned, it was normal to say. The stand-in technique can give the dead soul a new life, but the soul of the strong man is not dead, so the mysterious power brought by the necromancy is finally directly injected into his original soul. This mysterious power has the effect of nourishing the soul, and as a result, the soul of the strong man not only does not dissipate after the death of the body, but also directly transforms into a ghost.
But it's a pity that the strong man was fascinated by Xu Fei's medicine before, and Xu Fei's 'sleeping pill' actually acted directly on the soul, after the soul was forced to sleep, Xu Fei's soul contract almost didn't encounter the slightest obstacle, so the strong man's soul was easily enslaved by Xu Fei.
"My body is dead, master." The ghost replied.
"Dead?" Xu Fei was shocked, and hurriedly squatted down to check, only to find that the body really had no vital signs, Xu Fei was very depressed, and couldn't help muttering: "What kind of bullshit resurrection technique, it actually resurrected a big living person to death, fuck me." ”
As everyone knows, the ghost is even more depressed than Xu Fei at this moment, not to mention being killed by someone in a good manner, becoming a ghost and being enslaved all the time, I don't know when this hard day will be a head.
"Flutter" Piaoxue couldn't help laughing, of course she knew Xu Fei's intentions after reading the diary, so after listening to the conversation between Xu Fei and the ghost, she naturally knew that Xu Fei's experiment was in vain.
And after hearing the laughter of Piaoxue, Xu Fei naturally couldn't hang it anymore, he didn't have the slightest sympathy for the strong man Xu Fei, he couldn't live by himself, if he hadn't greedily wanted to seize Xu Fei's medicine formula, he would naturally not have fallen into this field today.
"Can't you control it when you're dead? So what do I want you to do? Xu Fei pursed his lips disdainfully.
The ghost was frightened when he heard this, after being enslaved by Xu Fei, his life and death were only between Xu Fei's thoughts, if Xu Fei really felt that he was useless, he didn't dare to guarantee that Xu Fei would not 'destroy' him on the spot.
"I can help you fight!" The ghost hurriedly pleaded.
"Oh? What kind of abilities do you have? Xu Fei asked curiously.
"I can interfere with other people's souls!"
After the ghost finished speaking, he opened his mouth viciously in a certain direction, and then, Xu Fei and the others heard a miserable wail, turned their heads to look, but saw that Mokdo seemed to have seen a ghost, his eyes were empty but his expression was looking in a certain direction with a frightened expression, and his mouth was screaming strangely while scratching and scratching at the void with both hands, as if something terrifying was about to pounce on him.
However, what made the ghost worried was that Xu Fei's face never showed any emotion from beginning to end, and it was obvious that his ability was not appreciated by Xu Fei. Gradually, the ghost became more and more anxious, and finally gritted its teeth and burrowed headlong into its original body.
Immediately after that, the dagger pinned to the waist of the strong man suddenly moved on its own, only to see it suddenly jump up on its own, and flew out with a whoosh after turning its head in the air!
Xu Fei saw that the dagger drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and flew in front of Mokdo with a swish, and with a short scream, blood splattered on Mokdo's neck, and after a painful struggle, he cried for his life.
"Holy shit! Yuan Ling Flying Sword? Xu Fei was really shocked at this time.
Yuan Ling Flying Sword is an online game skill of Xianxia, and I actually saw it in this kind of magical online game, which can't help but make Xu Fei interested, if this skill is used well, the lethality it can cause is absolutely considerable!
It's just that when he saw the ghost that reappeared, Xu Fei frowned.
"You're not going to be a one-time thing, is it?"
The ghost figure that appeared again was obviously a lot more illusory, obviously the consumption of this skill was quite large, if it couldn't be recovered, it was estimated that this ghost would not exist if it was used once or twice.
"I'll be able to recover after a while." The ghost quickly explained.
"That's okay, is there anything else?" Xu Fei nodded and asked again.
"It's gone...... the ghost wanted to vomit blood, secretly thinking that he had made some kind of bad luck to have such a master. As far as the two abilities he showed before, the practicality is absolutely not to say, but this guy actually looks unsightly, I really don't know if he understands what combat is, if he has such a ghost combat servant in his life, even if he can't be invincible in the same level, at least the ability to suppress the vast majority.
In fact, how did the ghost know that being invincible at the same level was not attractive to Xu Fei at all. If Xu Fei's internal power is all used as magic power, his magic power level is equivalent to that of a junior magician, but if it is a simple life-and-death battle, coupled with the blessing of the Battle Spirit Pendant, many instigated intermediate warriors and intermediate magicians may not be Xu Fei's opponents. The help that the ghost can bring to Xu Fei is actually a drop in the bucket, but the skill of this 'Yuan Spirit Flying Sword' is really novel, so Xu Fei finally accepted this 'spirit pet'.
Ghosts don't need to eat and drink on weekdays, and from this point of view, ghosts are easier to raise than Wangcai. Xu Fei gave the ghost a name 'Old Ghost', which made Piaoxue and the others roll their eyes, feeling powerless about the level of his name. However, these people don't have a good impression of the old ghost, so no one has stood up for the old ghost from beginning to end, and the ghost naturally doesn't dare to argue, so this ugly name was hammered by Xu Fei and pressed on the ghost's head.
But don't say that this old ghost is quite righteous, those companions before his death were originally going to be thrown into the lake to feed the fish according to Xu Fei's intentions, but under his death and pleading, Xu Fei finally let them go. It's just that they were troubled by their group, and Xu Fei and they were not in the mood to play anymore, so the group of seven people left the upside-down forest and planned to go straight to Eagle Castle. However, the next evening, in a small town where they were stopping, an incident occurred during the night that disrupted their itinerary again.
It turned out that not long ago, a woman in the town gave birth to a child, and there was a custom in the town that the newborn baby should be sent to the church for baptism at the full moon. On this day, the woman took her newborn child to the church for baptism, but unexpectedly, the priest of the church said that her child was a demon, and not only refused to baptize him, but also tied him to the stake and burned him.
Seeing that the child who was pregnant for ten months was about to be burned alive just after the full moon, it is impossible for a normal mother to be indifferent. How could such a lovely baby be the devil? For the first time, devout followers of the god of light doubted their faith. She pleaded and cried, but the priest was indifferent, helpless and desperately grabbed her child and used her body to protect him.
