The old man's shout sounded suddenly, and no one saw the owner of the voice, Mo Chen's face sank, and then his eyes darkened, and when he opened his eyes again, an old man with a goatee stood beside him, holding a dagger, against Mo Chen's throat.

Mo Chen slowly raised his hand and made an international surrender gesture, and Haiting exclaimed in surprise, "Old Mo!"

Liu Yan smiled, and took advantage of the fact that the people who surrounded him and distracted the old man, and successfully got out of trouble, and stepped out to stand aside.

The old man was dressed in a dark blue tunic, with a neatly groomed goatee, and he looked like a vivid character in a Republic of China drama.

Cao Ye took a few steps forward excitedly and shouted at the old man, "Uncle!"

"Uncle?"

"He's Old Chen?!"

Mo Chen was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled slightly, and then he understood something, "If I'm not mistaken, you are the gem merchant in the story!" ”

Chen Lao tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if smiling, "You're very smart!" ”

Regardless of whether the story in the ghost post is true or not, the important characters in it are nothing more than the gem dealer who got the strange stone and turned it into a wrench, and the so-called Taoist priest.

Previously, regarding the conjecture of these two people, Mo Chen and Zheng Yi only focused on investigating the Taoist priest's problem, but ignored the final whereabouts of the gem dealer in the story. Actually, Mo Chen didn't think about it, but at that time, he focused more on the possibility that the Taoist priest tried to take possession of the wrench and then murdered the gem dealer, but he never thought that the whole thing was likely to be the two of them in cahoots.

The development of events is always so erratic, I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, I would be a mermaid, and I knew that my result was only death, Mo Chen sighed deeply, and said sincerely, "Can you tell me the truth, at least let me die and understand!" ”

"Huh...... Do you know what's the use? Life is too short, why are you so persistent......" Old Chen's thin dry lips opened and closed, and his voice was hoarse as if passing over sandpaper.

Mo Chen bowed slightly, and his posture was humble, "Please!" ”

Chen Lao sighed softly, "That's it!" It doesn't matter what it means to talk about you. ”

"Lao Chen!" Liu Yan shouted in a low voice, and he shook his head slightly at Chen Lao, as if reminding him to make a quick decision. Old Chen waved his hand, disapproving, in his eyes, Mo Chen and their group of mediocre people were not to be afraid.

The character of the gem merchant in the ghost post is true, it is the old Chen in front of him, Chen, and his real surname. At that time, he ran a gemstone reselling business, which was passed down from his ancestors, and at that time, he was just an ordinary person.

In ancient times, people worshiped and superstitious things outside the known range, ranging from praying for the blessings of the gods to wishing for immortality.

Beyond the limits of life, there are not a few people who have cherished this dream-like wish for thousands of years, and Chen Lao is also particularly obsessed with it.

At that time, some alchemy techniques that were popular among the people, inviting great monks to go through the door, chanting scriptures, etc., Chen Lao can be said to have tried them one by one, but these methods did not seem to have any substantive effect.

By chance, Chen Lao befriended Liu Yan, of course, Liu Yan at that time was not what he is today, let alone the name Liu Yan, but he was indeed a Taoist priest.

Liu Yan saw a secret method in his master's secret book, and when he found an ancient strange stone, he could achieve the goal of immortality through the secret method.

However, this method is not a good type, if you want to activate the power of the strange stone, you will definitely sacrifice the blood of the living to it, therefore, Liu Yan's master hid this secret method deeply, and never dared to show it, but he didn't expect to be found and stolen by Liu Yan.

You have a way, I have the financial resources, this can be described as the best combination, so Liu Yan and Chen Lao hit it off and began to prepare.

It is recorded in the secret method that because the spiritual power of the strange stone is very large, if it is used directly, I am afraid that the user himself will not be able to withstand the power in it, and will be devoured, so there are ten wrenches that were cut and created later.

That's not all, this so-called art of eternal life is not as simple as people imagine, just like the so-called want to get something, you have to pay something.

This art of eternal life is like this, and life has to be exchanged for that life. The user who activates the secret method must find a suitable physical body, and then activate the formation with a wrench to successfully transfer his soul into that physical body. And the ten wrenches need to be injected with a fresh life as a sacrifice each, and when the secret method is successfully activated, the transferred body will become the user's new body.

Therefore, it can also be said that this is a cruel soul transfer, not real immortality.

"Just to stay on earth forever...... How many people have you killed over the years?! Mo Chen's eyes burned with anger, madman, where are these two people in front of him worthy of the word human, they are clearly two "monsters".

Chen Lao choked back disdainfully, "Instead of suffering in this world doing nothing, it is better to step into reincarnation early, and maybe you can give birth to a good family in the next life, and I can be regarded as helping them." ”

"Maniac!"

Mo Chen scolded in disgust, and after a pause, he asked, "So, you got the ghost post to lure us into the bait, and took the initiative to send it to the door as your sacrifice?" ”

Chen Lao pursed his lips and said meaningfully, "This can only be said to be fate!" I don't have any goals, it's just that it's just you. ”

"What about my mother? Where did you get her?! Fan Tong glared at Chen Lao viciously.

Chen Lao was stunned, staring at Fan Tong up and down, and Liu Yan reminded on the side, "She is Liu Ling'er's girl." ”

"O'O!" Chen Lao had a look of sudden realization: "The last batch of fish that slipped through the net!" ”

When he lived to the nineties, Liu Yan's body was unbearable at that time, and he had to find a suitable body for transformation, and at that time, a young man named Liu Yan, because of the flood disaster at home, the whole family died, this kind of person with no relatives and background can be described as the best candidate, for Chen Lao, they can save a lot of follow-up trouble.

In the early years, after Chen Lao got this body, he has been living as Chen Lao, and if he suddenly disappears, his family will naturally look for him. Second, the real Chen Lao Wu actually did this illegal thing, and the brothers around him are also like this, which is in line with Chen Lao's wishes, and keeping this group of people will come in handy sooner or later.

After all, Mo Chen saw some real content in the ghost post, and Chen Lao tricked the group of gold diggers into the mountains to find gold to help Liu Yan's soul change, but someone escaped in the middle of the ceremony, and that person was Liu Ling'er.

The ceremony was abandoned halfway, but the result was very intriguing, and the Taoist priest's soul was transferred into Liu Yan's body. However, due to the failure of the ritual, he did not have complete control over this body, and his soul would wander from time to time.
