Chapter 3: The Banshee and the Relic

"I have two bodies?"

Realizing this, Du Bai's heart jumped suddenly, and a sense of excitement arose.

Soon, however, he suppressed the inappropriate excitement and began to think about the identity of the body in order to better play it.

"The so-called ghost king......" he muttered to himself, "are there really ghosts in this world?" ”

After having two bodies at the same time, this kind of unimaginable thing doesn't seem to be an unacceptable thing.

But just as badly, the body didn't leave him with any useful memory information, and he had to figure everything out on his own.

He straightened up and tried to get up, but as a burst of tearing pain hit, a strong subconscious told him that it was best not to move!

"This body has injuries...... And it's serious......"

Du Bai quickly realized this.

It's no wonder, otherwise he wouldn't have been given the opportunity to occupy the magpie's nest, just as the scholar was also given a chance by his death, and the same is true for this body.

But this can't help but make him secretly stunned - the strength of this body, even if he is dying, still gives him a sense of strength that can break the world with one punch.

But in the same way, he must be more cautious, and it must not be an easy character to beat such a powerful ghost king to the brink of death, even here is also full of dangers.

Just as he was meditating, a seemingly charming voice suddenly came from outside the main hall: "King, the bald donkeys who dared to invade our ghost town have all retreated, and even the living Buddha has left in fear of your strength." Although the dead ones sat on the spot, their relics are still there, and they must have done some good for your injuries......"

"Do you need a subordinate to bring it in for you?"

The voice was coquettish, but at the moment I could hear a faint sense of worry, not like a fake.

"This king still needs to recuperate from his injuries, those monks don't care for the time being, you just need to send the relics in."

When Du Bai spoke, he was startled by his own voice.

Heavy and hoarse as if a boulder was slowly rubbing, but it implied a mysterious majesty, so that the listener couldn't help but obey his orders. This seems to be the innate power of this body, and no one can shake it.

And what the other party said about the bald donkey, the living Buddha or something, he has no impression at all, and his heart is inevitably a little weak, if he says a few more words, it is easy to be noticed that something is wrong, and it is difficult to say whether he will take advantage of his injury and weakness to turn back.

He knows a lot of two or five boys, so he has to be careful. The banshee outside doesn't know what her heart is, so she can't be trusted easily.

It's better to wait until you recover from your injuries and recover a certain amount of strength, and then you can get in touch slowly.

After that, he slowly stretched out his hand as if he felt something, and then a gap slowly opened in the heavy temple door, and a slender and tender little hand flashed by, and more than ten large or small golden pearls quickly flew into his palm.

The door slammed shut.

"This is the relic? It's a little different from the monk's stones in my impression......"

His dragon-like hand grasped the relics and looked at them slightly, only to see that they were as warm as jade and shining with golden light, and the translucent surface exuded a layer of bright Buddha nature.

If this light is for ordinary people, it may make them feel calm, feel like a spring breeze, and if they wear it for a long time, they can even avoid all diseases, and their hearts are good.

But for him, it's like tempting food emitting an irresistible aroma!

I can't wait to swallow it in one bite.

"To recuperate ......"

He tried his best to restrain the strange feeling in his heart, and stuffed the relics into his mouth, melting in his mouth like eating jelly beans, and soon a warm current flowed down his throat, and there was a slight abnormality in his body, and it was obvious that the injury had a tendency to heal gradually.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something, and he raised his head suddenly, only to see that behind him, which he had not noticed before, were several huge golden Buddha statues of the same height as the main hall.

Only now the light on their surface has dimmed, and even has layers of obscure cracks. At this time, the facial features of the Buddha statue slowly flowed down lines of blood and tears, making its otherwise amiable smile look extremely eerie and terrifying!

***********

In the quiet and dim study, a light yellow flame was suspended in the core thread extending from the slightly muddy candlestick oil surface, which was slightly beating high and low, and from time to time there were one or two soft and crisp "crackling" sounds.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door from far and near, and soon after stopping at the door, there was a soft knock on the door, as if it was worried about disturbing the interest of the people inside.

"Uncle...... The eldest lady is back and wants you to go to the hall. ”

The timid whisper of a little maid.

The scholar's eyelids, who were leaning back in the chair and sleeping soundly, trembled slightly, and finally opened them slowly. After being a little dazed, he quickly adapted to his identity change.

"Got it." Du Bai echoed.

It's just that it was probably affected by another body, and the voice made at this time was also a little indescribably majestic.

What he didn't know was that the little maid outside was also taken aback, and after a while, she covered her chest with palpitations, with a little puzzle on her face.

"Strange...... How did my uncle feel like a master when he spoke just now, the majesty was so terrifying that I almost couldn't breathe. ”

But just as she was about to walk back, she heard a slightly hesitant voice from the study: "You...... Wait, let's go over together. ”

Although the maid was puzzled, her habitual obedience made her answer and waited obediently outside the door.

Du Bai hadn't been to that hall yet, and it would be a shame if he got lost for a while, so it was naturally best to let this maid lead the way.

In the study, Du Bai, who had returned to this sick and weak body, was quite unaccustomed, but the body of the ghost king was still seriously injured and had not yet healed, and now it had fallen into a stage similar to recuperation and dormancy, and he couldn't do much activity.

He put the book back on the shelf, turned off the light, opened the door, and saw a beautiful girl standing outside the door, only up to her chest, although she had been waiting for a long time, she did not have any dissatisfaction on her face.

"Let's go." Du Bai didn't look at it much, just said lightly.

With the light silver moonlight, following the little girl's steps in the corridor, Du Bai finally walked to the position of the hall after turning and turning, and it was brightly lit at this time.

There were already a lot of people sitting here, except for the mothers-in-law in the afternoon, Du Bai didn't know any of them. However, the most conspicuous woman sitting in the main seat made him immediately identify the protagonist of the night.

She should be her own mother-in-law, that is, the current ruler of the Su family - Su Wanmiao.

I saw that the woman's facial features were delicate and her appearance was exquisite, but without any makeup, Du Bai couldn't help but be amazed for a moment. She was wearing a light white long dress, probably covered with a layer of tulle to prevent the cool breeze of the summer night, which was quite elegant and gentle. And although she was still a little tired on her face at this time, she was still in good spirits, pretending to be majestic and unmatched by her age.

Indeed, since most of the business of the Su family, the old man Su, was entrusted to her, if she never grew, I am afraid that she would not be able to convince her subordinates at all.

"Good luck......

He didn't have much expectation of the Su family's eldest lady's appearance, but now it seems to be quite amazing.

Du Bai is not as resistant to the identity of his son-in-law as men in this era, anyway, he has no relatives and no reason, and he doesn't care about those false names. On the contrary, he suddenly had a stunning wife after more than 20 years of maternal solo on the earth, and he felt good.

Although at present, the two are only husband and wife in name.
