Volume 1 Country Gossip Chapter 24 Who is "I"?
A flash of surprise flashed in the ghost cultivator's eyes, and his figure flickered, appearing in front of me, with a face less than five centimeters away from me, and said, "I wanted to accept you as an apprentice and teach you what I have learned all my life, but unfortunately your master disagrees." But things have developed so far, but back to the beginning, I will include you under my command, and I will no longer embarrass your master! ”
I was stunned and shook my head unconsciously, and Ghost Xiu smiled coldly and said, "I didn't ask your opinion. ”
With that, he shrouded me with a move from his sleeve, and in an instant, the sky was dark, and my vision instantly disappeared into the darkness.
A few minutes later, I was thrown hard and fell to the wooden floor, and I looked up in a panic to find myself back in the seven-story pagoda, but not on the first floor, and there were six candles burning in the corners of the surrounding corners, and the flames were a strange blood-red color, which made my heart cringe.
At the bottom of each candle, a thin red thread binds me, and the red thread converges along the ground at my feet, forming a complex knot.
And the ghost cultivator, who was standing less than a meter in front of me, also had a similar knot at his feet, and he sat cross-legged, his hands in the shape of a lotus, and his mouth was chanting.
I exclaimed, "What do you want to do?" ”
He stared at me calmly, but there was a flicker of desire in his eyes, and said, "Pass on my life's work to you." ”
Even though he said that, my instincts told me something was wrong.
I stood up and stepped back, only to find that my feet could not move, and when I looked down, I saw two red threads wrapped around my ankles. I was so frightened that I immediately untied the red thread with my hands, but found that the red thread was tied with a dead knot and could not be untied at all, so I was desperately pulled, and the more I pulled, the more I felt that the red thread was tight, almost embedded in my flesh, and it hurt so much that I grinned.
I screamed like a sheep to the slaughter.
Then he shouted at the ghost cultivator, "What the hell are you going to do!" I have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me! I'm messing with someone! ”
Ghost Xiu faced my questioning, smiled coldly, but did not speak, and the speed of the spell in his mouth increased.
Along with his mantra, I saw that six red candles suddenly had blood-red wax dripping down, soaking the red thread, and the red thread began to tremble slightly, emitting a faint red light, this light was dark red, especially strange in the dark, like dried blood, I only looked at it, and the cold hairs all over my body were trembling.
This room is too strange, it's more like killing than passing on the gong!
The red line in my ankle was getting tighter and tighter, and I didn't know what was going to happen next, my heart was beating fast, and my muscles were tense.
At this juncture, my mind went completely blank, as if watching the butcher's knife fall, and the powerlessness was despairing.
Suddenly, I touched the gold-patterned divine protection carved by Master on my chest, and suddenly it occurred to me what Master said, this talisman is a life-saving talisman, but it can only be used three times. Is my life in danger now? My instinct tells me that once the demon remembers the mantra, I'm probably done playing!
Treat him a few times, use it first and then talk about it!
I had the foresight to lose the master, let me memorize the mantra by rote, and I am not ambiguous at the moment, people will always burst out with extraordinary calmness and potential at the last moment, so I held the gold-veined divine protection in my hand, and quickly chanted the mantra in my mouth, and the sound of two mantras sounded in the entire space at the same time, I saw the ghost cultivator's brows furrowed, but he seemed to have reached a critical moment, and he couldn't forcibly stop.
This is a great opportunity for me.
After the spell was finished, I said loudly: "Inherit the ancient road, summon the heavens, the seven stars gather the sun and the moon, the immortals are here, please all the kings, the golden vein god protects the evil underworld!" This sound was like a rainbow, and it fell almost at the same time as the ghost cultivator.
Ghost Xiu opened his eyes violently and shouted, "Why are you ......?"
Before he finished speaking, I saw a terrifying wave of qi erupting with the wooden card in my palm as the center, blowing the red line of the whole room trembling wildly, and then a golden pattern burst out into a ball, spreading rapidly to all directions, and I saw countless golden runes flowing on the entire sphere.
Yes......
Ghost Xiu shouted, and in an instant, all the red lines shattered, and the candles in the four corners were suddenly extinguished, leaving only the golden light that illuminated the entire room.
The ghost cultivator seemed to have been impacted, and his body shook, and he actually fell backwards directly.
In just a few seconds, the air waves dissipated, the smoke and dust filled the air, the gold streaks disappeared, and the room fell into silence.
I stared at the location where the ghost cultivator fell through the dazzling dust, I didn't know how powerful the Golden Stripe Divine Protector was, and whether it was enough to destroy the ghost cultivator, but it did seem to have caused him harm.
"I didn't expect you to have a talisman! I'm careless, but do you really think that relying on a shoddy amulet can stop my Soul Changing Array? Oni Xiu's voice rang out abruptly, echoing throughout the room.
Soul Easy!?
This guy really didn't have a good heart, did he want to take my body and reincarnate as a human!
No matter what happens to my soul after the soul changes, my body should be my decision, and no one should try to take it away!
I saw a staggered figure in the smoke slowly stand up, his right hand raised, his finger pinching a knuckle.
I was stunned, and suddenly the knot under my feet was red!
In an instant, I felt my consciousness suddenly fight, and an invisible tearing force rose in my heart, and the pain made me clutch my chest and fall to the ground, tears rolling down involuntarily.
This is not the pain of the skin of the limbs being torn, but the pain that seems to come from the heart and the soul being torn, which is completely irresistible, I only feel that with this pain, my brain is blank, as if there is a fluctuating feeling, as if I am about to enter a dream, but then the pain suddenly pulls me back to reality, making my face distorted, and my muscles are bruised.
"Hahaha, what I fancy will be mine sooner or later!" Oni Xiu laughed.
Then a gust of wind blew in my face, and I felt a cold, frost-like breath pouring from the top of my head into my body, causing my body to tremble.
At the same time, a smug voice passed from my body to my mind: "Haha, what a Ding furnace, outstanding talent, penance for nearly a thousand years, I can finally be reborn as a human being, with this body, see how I make the world surrender to my feet!" Hahaha......"
In just a few seconds, I felt that my blood was almost frozen, my whole body was as cold as falling into an ice cave, even the qi that came out of it was filled with frost, and my consciousness became more and more trance-like, as if I was standing on the edge of a cliff, as long as I took another step back, it would be an abyss.
"Get out!"
Suddenly, an imposing voice erupted from within me, and this voice was neither from me nor from the ghost cultivator. With just one sound, it was like a 100-meter dam bursting its embankment, and the earth-shattering flood poured down and was unstoppable. And in my body, centered on my heart, suddenly gushed out a scorching breath, raging violently all over my body.
"Who are you! No! It's you! How could it be you! "Ghost Xiu panicked.
The cold receded like a tide, and then my body shook violently, and a stream of black gas gushed out from my mouth, turning into the ghost cultivator in the air, but the ghost cultivator looked so embarrassed at the moment, even his body became a little dim, he fell to the ground all of a sudden, staggered a few steps in a row, and almost fell.
And the way he looked at me, he became terrified and frightened.
Apparently he suffered a huge shock inside me.
The scorching breath made my whole body hot like boiling water, and I thought I would be able to regain control of my body at this moment, but I was surprised to find that my consciousness was inexplicably pushed aside, but I still enjoyed my senses and was able to see.
And at this moment, it is another person who controls my body!
I, no, it should be "me", took a step forward, my eyes like a blade, staring at the ghost cultivator.
The ghost cultivator didn't even dare to look directly at "me", his eyes kept evading, but he didn't dare not look directly at "me", because the momentum of "me" was too terrifying.
"I" said coldly, "You have changed! Greed, cruelty, where is your heart! Where is the way of ghost cultivation! ”
Every word of "I" made Ghost Xiu tremble, scared to the extreme, and even his face was distorted.
"No, no, it's not that I've changed, it's the book you gave me that made me see the injustice of heaven! Why can you climb to the top in just a few decades, and I have been cultivating for nearly a thousand years, but I am still only the city lord of a small military-level ghost town, I am not reconciled! The ghost cultivator trembled all over, completely losing the terrifying momentum when they met.
"Now, you don't even have the qualifications to be the city lord! What about books? The "I" tone was still cold.
"The book was really stolen, I don't know where," the ghost cultivator shrank and hid in the corner, and continued, "The ghost town has the rules of the ghost town, as long as my mark is still there, I will still be the city lord, you mortals can't decide!" ”
"I" didn't speak anymore, his eyes stared straight at the ghost cultivator, as if he wanted to pierce his heart with ten thousand arrows with his eyes.
Disappointed......
"Cloud Wing!" Master's voice came from outside the door, and then the door was kicked open, and Master and Godpa rushed in at the same time.
The moment they saw me, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and their pupils were dilated.
"I" turned his head to look at Master, and then whispered, "Tatar." ”
Master's body shook suddenly, and after a few seconds, he muttered, "Uncle Shi......"
Before the words fell, my eyes went dark, and I fell directly to the ground......
After a while, I heard Master calling me in a hazy way, and I slowly opened my eyes and saw Master holding me and calling my name anxiously.
Seeing me wake up, Master's eyes turned red and he said, "Yunyi, are you okay?" Master is not right, he shouldn't have brought you here! ”
I smiled and said, "I'm fine." ”
With that, I rolled over to stand up, but I found myself limp and had no strength at all.
Master hurriedly helped me and said, "Don't move, you just lost your strength, come, eat this." ”
As he spoke, Master handed over a red pill, and after taking it, I felt something in my stomach explode, and a steady stream of energy rushed to my body, but it didn't take long for me to feel some strength in my body, and then I stood up slowly.
I saw that the ghost Xiu fell to the side, and was looked at by the godfather, looking very weak.
The master looked at him coldly and did not speak.
The ghost cultivator pointed at me and said weakly: "He, the reincarnated body, will become a reincarnated person one day sooner or later!" Hmph......"
Master ignored him, turned around with me on his back and went out.
We had just left the house when we heard a long laugh from inside, "Hahaha, so calculating!" What a calculation! Even I'm just a pawn to wake you up! Hahaha......"
Behind Master's back, I asked a series of questions, "Master, what is he laughing at?" What a good calculation. What does it mean that I am reincarnated? Who was that person in my body just now? ”
Master let out a long sigh and said, "Yun Yi, there are some things that I don't know, let's talk about it later." All I know is that he is using him to revive the man in your body! ”
Although Master said this, I already had a rough idea in my heart that I was the reincarnation of Master's uncle, and the person who was in my body just now should be him. But why does he still retain the memories of his past life after being reincarnated? Why is he and I like two people?
And the calculation, maybe the master's uncle deliberately handed over the "Hundred Years of Catastrophe" to the ghost cultivator for safekeeping, and the content of it made the ghost cultivator unwilling, resulting in the evil idea of seizing my body, and as soon as the ghost cultivator entered my body, it prompted him to wake up!
The question is, how did he calculate everything so accurately every step of the way? Even if I entered a ghost town and met a ghost cultivator, was he counted? What a terrifying vision! And, what is it about him that drives his own awakening?
Just thinking about it, I felt like I was gradually being covered in a big net......
After we left the pagoda, we saw countless ghost soldiers surrounded by three layers outside, but the moment they saw us, the ghost soldiers were not only embarrassed, but automatically made way of way.
Grandpa Gan said that the ghost town may be about to change hands, so these ghost soldiers can't care about anything else.
I'm surprised, that ghost cultivator is going to be gone? It's not enough to just be hit so hard by Master's uncle?
Grandpa Gan said not necessarily, because as long as the lord of the ghost city is not qualified, he will change hands, and as for the rules, there is naturally a magic circle of the ghost city presiding, and no one can interfere. In the ghost city, the magic circle of the ghost city is the way of heaven.
Walked for about five minutes. We heard a noise not far away, so we hurried over to the shore where we heard a commotion, as if someone was arguing.
Looking over, I saw that in the narrow river, there was a canopy boat in the middle of the river, blocking a boat that wanted to leave, and it was the two people who quarreled, and the person who blocked the boat turned out to be Lao Qian.
We rushed over, the master opened his mouth to ask, and Lao Qian said: "The city lord has a life, and he must not leave without permission, if they want to leave, there must be ghosts!" I never believed you would steal, and now it seems that the people here are the culprits. ”
Another Yin Crossing man stretched his neck and shouted, "Good dogs don't get in the way!" If the guest is in a hurry, he can't delay, so he is naturally in a hurry to leave, and don't buckle the basin! ”
Lao Qian turned his head to look at the master, and the master then spoke: "Come out, show your face, we have a good acquaintance in Pingshui, and it is not in vain that we have been wronged!" ”
After a long silence, a person opened the curtain and walked out, still holding a thread-bound book in his hand, and looked at it to see that it was the arrogant young man who had gone ashore at the same time as us, he threw the book at us, and said: "Although we meet in Pingshui, it is inconvenient to know each other, it is best not to see each other again in this life, the book is for you, don't pass by!" Get out of the way! ”
With that, the young man returned to the canopy.
The master picked up the book, glanced at it, then quickly flipped through it, and then motioned for the old money to give way.
Lao Qian frowned again and glanced at the Yin crosser, sighed, propped it up with a pulp, got out of the way, and let the other party leave.
Then he asked us what happened and how we were wanted by the city lord, and the master did not answer him, waved his hand and said, "You can go." ”
At this moment, the sky suddenly brightened, followed by an earth-shattering boom, and I saw a pale lightning suddenly fall from the sky, and impartially struck the seven-story pagoda in the distance, leaving a long string of sparks in the air.
In a few seconds, another bolt of lightning fell, but the color of this lightning was light purple, brighter than the one just now, almost illuminating the entire sky, and falling straight to another part of the ghost town.
If I'm not mistaken, my great-grandfather's house was in that location.
Immediately afterwards, all the lanterns in the entire ghost town lit up with orange-red fire, as if the ghost town suddenly came to life.
Lao Qian was shocked when he saw this, and said, "The ghost town has changed hands!" ”
Master and Grandpa Godfather showed a smile, and Grandpa Godfather looked at me and said, "If that's right, the city lord is Lin Chongbin, your great-grandfather, it's not simple......"
This...... It's too unexpected!
