CHAPTER XVII

Zhu Yao didn't expect that the ghost fetus could actually give birth to a consciousness beyond that of an adult. Not only will it disguise itself as a host, but it will also become angry when exposed. Especially when they are aware of the crisis, they will even make threats, using the host's life as a shield.

"You want to destroy me, come—" Mega hissed, her face hideous, and a pale grimace looming.

Zhu Yao was completely enraged by this ghost fetus.

"You think this can threaten me?" Zhu Yao shook the sharp knife in his hand, and said coldly: "This woman and I have only known each other for a few days, and it is worth exchanging her life for the destruction of a ghost fetus—"

As he spoke, Zhu Yao's gaze became extremely cold, and his face was expressionless, like a cold-faced judge in the underworld, without the slightest emotion in his eyes.

Seeing Zhu Yao like this, a trace of horror flashed on Mei Jia's face, but she knew that there was no way out and she couldn't escape, so she could only hide her grimace immediately and hide in Mei Jia's body.

Zhu Yao held a sharp knife in his hand and stabbed Mei Jia in the stomach.

Poof-

Zhu Yao's sharp knife had pierced Mei Jia's belly, and the blood seeped out, staining Mei Jia's clothes red. As long as she goes one step further, she can puncture her womb and directly destroy the ghost fetus.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly broke out of the door, rushed to Zhu Yao's side, and grabbed his hand.

"Boy-" The old man's grimace was revealed, with a mouthful of green fangs and a hideous face, but his tone was solemn, and he said, "Have you thought about it?" ”

"This ghost fetus can't be kept!" Zhu Yao shouted coldly.

"If you go down with this knife, the ghost fetus will be destroyed, but this girl won't survive—" The old man also roared, and he bared his teeth and shouted, "In order to save this girl, you even gave me this evil ghost the ox head and tail bone soup." But now, you want to kill a ghost fetus and hurt this girl's life? ”

"If the ghost fetus is born, this girl will not be able to live. At that time, there will be more people, more ghosts, who will be poisoned by this demon. Rather than this, it is better to destroy it as soon as possible-" Zhu Yao roared, and the sharp knife in his hand was about to stab forward again.

"Wait!" The old man hugged Zhu Yao's hand and said repeatedly: "You can even save me as an evil ghost, why can't you save a ghost fetus?" ”

Zhu Yao was shocked, as if something had hit the depths of his heart. He turned his head to look at the old man's grimace and was silent.

"I did evil in my life, but I was betrayed by the woman I loved the most, and I suffered a lot. Even after death, he couldn't let go of his grievances and wandered among the mountains and wilderness. This girl is pregnant with a ghost fetus, and she is a miserable person. I see that her eyes are full of trust and dependence, and she must regard you as her lifeline. But if you disregard her life in order to destroy a demon fetus, what is the difference between you and the woman who betrayed me? ”

"This girl was killed by a ghost fetus, and she was abandoned by you, full of resentment, and she will definitely turn into a ghost after death. The harm is probably no less than that of a ghost fetus. You kill a ghost fetus, but you create a terrible ghost, what will you do at that time? Do you want to use this knife to kill it as you did with this ghost? ”

"At that time, in your heart, will you really not regret it?"

Although the old man's face was hideous, what he said was like a hammer, hitting Zhu Yao's heart every word.

"The crematorium is a yin place, and the ghosts of the underworld often haunt this place, detaining ghosts. You say that I, as an evil ghost, have not been canonized by the underworld, and can be content here, but why? ”

Zhu Yao frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

"I have already been transformed by a high monk, and the little ghosts under my command have long been dismissed, just wait for the woman to turn into a ghost after death, and see her for the last time, I can let go of my obsessions, fall into hell, and suffer the punishment." The old man said in a deep voice.

"No wonder the hundred ghosts recorded that you are a 'fierce ghost to be detained', but no ghost has come to detain you-" Zhu Yao suddenly realized.

"So—" The old man slowly let go of his hand and said, "For people, life is more important than anything else. And for ghosts, only by letting go of obsession can they get excess. If you can save people, you will be able to save ghosts. If you can save people, you will be able to save ghosts! You, and think about—"

"If you can save people, you will be able to save ghosts! If you can save ghosts, you will be able to save people - save people, save ghosts; Save ghosts, save people-" Zhu Yao repeated the old man's words to himself, his expression gradually became sluggish, and his hand slowly let go of the sharp knife and drooped down.

But the old man didn't give Zhu Yao time to think, and shouted: "If you are stunned again, this girl will die!" Why don't you hurry up and extinguish this Miluo fire and save this girl! ”

Zhu Yao reacted suddenly, and hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, and when he arrived, a stream of yellow water poured out, extinguishing the burning spirit house.

The yellow water soaked Mejia's whole body, and her hair was scattered and covered her face.

Zhu Yao gently hugged Mei Jia, carefully put her on the ground, and gently ruffled her hair.

"I'm sorry, Jiajia, I'm really sorry-" Zhu Yao apologized to himself, his expression was extremely annoyed, and he blamed himself: "I don't know what's wrong with me?" I saw that the demon fetus was very arrogant, but it was so angry that he did such a thing—"

As he spoke, Zhu Yao took out a small bowl from his pocket, which was filled with slimy black paste.

Zhu Yao scooped out the black paste with a spoon and applied it to the wound on Mei Jia's stomach, then quickly pulled out a sharp knife and smeared the wound with black cream.

The black paste soaked into the wound, and the bleeding quickly stopped, and the wound scabbed over at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhu Yao continued to muttered to himself: "I was born in the Underworld, as a ghost cook, I take yin things as materials, and good ghosts send evil to cook ghosts. Since I left the school, I have cooked countless ghosts, but my cooking skills have not increased in the slightest, and I can't even open the second page of the recipe. Now I realize that it's not that I don't cook enough ghosts, but that I have too few ghosts. ”

"It's easy to catch ghosts and cook them. It's difficult. And whether it is a human or a ghost, the existence in this world is more important than anything else. ”

"Master, didn't your old man say that he taught me all the skills? But why did you ignore this most important point-" Zhu Yao sighed again and again.

Then, Zhu Yao looked at Mei Jia's stomach and warned: "You ghost fetus, listen well, if Mei Jia is born, I will keep you fine." If there is a good thing in Mejia, I will chop you up like a cabbage and cook it, and you will be tortured and you will never be able to live forever. You, think for yourself—"

After dealing with Mei Jia's wounds, Zhu Yao also breathed a sigh of relief, he stood up, ready to thank the old man, but unexpectedly he was gone.

"Hey—" Zhu Yao called for a long time, but there was no response, he entered the house, but there was still no trace.

"It's really strange, why don't you say it's gone-" Zhu Yao was puzzled in his heart, confused.

What Zhu Yao didn't know was that at this moment, on the top of a mountain in the distance, a figure wrapped in black robes was looking at him intently.

Whoosh - a short figure suddenly appeared, and it was the old man outside the crematorium.

"Brother, I'm okay, right?" The old man smiled as if he was invited.

"Good!" The black-robed man nodded and said in a low voice: "Fortunately, you reacted quickly, otherwise if Zhu Yao's knife went down, his life would have stopped here." ”

"Hehehehe, I was ordered by you to guard this place where birds don't for more than a month as the Burial Fire Ghost King, just waiting for this kid to come to me, how can I let him destroy himself." The old man said with a smile.

"Well, you've done a good job, and I'll honor what I promised you." The black-robed man said lightly.

"Thank you, brother, thank you—" The old man thanked him repeatedly, and then said, "But brother, that ghost fetus—"

The black-robed man waved his hand and sighed: "That ghost fetus is the catastrophe of Zhu Yao's fate. I can help him understand the way to overcome ghosts, but I can't help him overcome the calamity. After that, he had to rely on himself-"
