CH.681: You're the one who scares you
"You're the one who's scared!"
The old man said lightly.
Lu Yang was taken aback by this sudden scene, thinking that this ghost was also weird, and he was thinking about joking with himself.
"Little ghost, who are you and how did you come here, no one has been here for a thousand years."
The old man sighed and said.
"You...... Are you really this old man? How can you still talk? ”
Lu Yang was a little creepy, he always felt that this was too weird, he had never met a ghost, what was going on?
The old man continued: "Little one, since you are here, don't be in a hurry to leave, accompany me to talk well."
I'm indeed seated, but my soul has been sealed here for the year before. ”
"Soul?"
Lu Yang was a little stunned, there really are these things in the world.
"Yes, my body can't move, but my soul is still there, to be precise, I'm just a puppet with a soul!"
The old man sighed, as if he had thought of something sad, and there was a hint of helplessness between his words.
"A puppet with a soul."
Lu Yang didn't understand even more, what the hell is and what is this.
The old man continued, "Yes, as you think.
Since we are destined, then I will tell you about my origin and past! ”
After so many years, no one has said a word to themselves, and the soul of the old man can be described as extremely lonely.
"Okay......"
Lu Yang reluctantly agreed, thinking to himself why he was so weird, such a thing would be encountered by himself.
The old man told his past.
"This matter started more than a thousand years ago, there was a monk at the peak of the Breaking Period, who got a book called Chihiro Puppet by chance, and since then he has been obsessed with puppetry.
But even if he is extremely poor, he can't study this book thoroughly, and he knows that his time is short, and he is unwilling to wait for the solution of old age.
As a result, he spent the rest of his life to make himself a puppet, and sealed his soul on this puppet, intending to immortalize for 10,000 years. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Yang seemed to understand a little bit, could it be that the dried corpse on this island was the puppet that this senior said.
The old man continued: "What this monk didn't expect was that even if it was true, the soul existed in the puppet, but it lost its ability to act forever, and this sitting was a thousand years. ”
"That person is the senior, you?"
Lu Yang asked curiously.
"Nonsense, not myself, how could I know so clearly."
After the old man exploded, he calmed down and continued: "I finally figured out a truth after I couldn't move, people can't go against the sky after all, birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of the world, and they can never be shaken.
If you want to live forever, you may be able to constantly break through yourself, so that you can have a glimmer of hope for immortality. ”
Lu Yang nodded and said, "But although you can't move now, your soul has survived, and it is equivalent to an immortal body." ”
In Lu Yang's opinion, being able to exist in a puppet with a soul is a great miracle.
The old man sighed again: "Hey! How can you be as good as you are, although I am not dead now, but what is the difference between this and death.
I have been here for a thousand years, and my soul has long since become weak, and it will soon be gone, and then I will truly be immortal. ”
At this time, Lu Yang sighed a little in his heart, even so, he would indeed still die, and people would still not be able to fight the sky after all.
Lu Yang asked: "With the cultivation of your predecessors, how can you appear in the world, where are you from?" ”
"I'm from the Ancient Domain, what kind of cultivation are you, boy."
The old man also asked.
"Not long ago, I just broke through the late stage of the return period."
Lu Yang replied.
The old man saw that Lu Yang had such a high cultivation at such a young age, and he was still in the world where his true qi was so turbid, which was even more commendable, so he immediately said: "Boy, since we are destined, the old man will make an exception to accept you as an apprentice!" ”
"No, I already have a master."
Lu Yang refused without even thinking about it.
"You kid, the old man is a monk in the late stage of breaking the vows, so it's not too much to take you as a disciple, right? If you worship me as a teacher, then I can teach you the supreme puppet technique. ”
The old man continued.
Lu Yang waved his hand and refused: "No, I don't have any interest in puppetry, I feel that my current exercises are quite good." ”
Hearing Lu Yang say this, the old man was a little disappointed, sighed and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I can't force it."
But there is nothing left here, it has been emptied by my disciples, and if it must be there, then there is only one thing left. ”
"What's that?"
Lu Yang's eyes lit up, and he thought that the things of this master in the late stage of the ring breaking period would not be much worse.
"Spirit Stone."
The old man smiled.
"Zhenling Stone? What is it for? Where is it? ”
Lu Yang was happy in his heart, this thing is a tall thing, and he must deceive this thing and take it away.
The old man smiled faintly: "This thing is very chicken, it's not the same, if you want it, I'll give it to you, it's at my feet." ”
Lu was speechless for a moment, the chicken ribs still have such a lofty name, isn't this a pit person?
"If useful things have been removed by my disciples a long time ago, how can they be left to you.
Although this spirit stone is chicken, it still has a function. ”
"What function?"
Lu Yang immediately asked.
"I heard that it can have a suppressive effect on evil things, but I didn't use it once anyway."
The old man was also helpless, this thing has not been used since he got it, either it is used as a foot pad or as a desk foot.
"Evil? What's that? ”
Lu Yang scratched his head, really puzzled.
"Where do I know, I'm talking to you about chicken ribs, in short, this thing is not easy to come by, and it's useless, maybe it's a treasure, if you like it, you can take it to study and study, anyway, it's useless with me, and it should be given as a gift."
"Thank you, senior!"
Lu Yang clasped his fists with both hands and immediately expressed his gratitude, after all, this is the kindness of his predecessors, and he can't say too much, thinking that today's oil and water will definitely not be available.
Lu Yang thought of another question at this time, that is, the previous dry corpse should be the masterpiece of this senior, so he asked: "Senior, I encountered a dry corpse before, and there is a golden bell, is that your masterpiece?" ”
"I don't dare to be a masterpiece, I just have nothing to do and play.
It's just that the puppet has a certain flaw, and he has to absorb enough soul as energy before he can use it for himself.
As for the golden bell, it was used to control the puppet, and I can tell you how to do it.
But you have to grant me one request. ”
