Chapter 18: Hunt for the Truth
"Xiao Hei is originally attached to it by a wisp of the master's soul."
"That's what he told you?" The bad old man coughed a few times, signaling Xiao He not to mess with him anymore, but took the initiative to change a trick for this person with a ghost and a puppet.
The corpse of a black cat came out from under his feet, and the old man kicked it in the middle, then closed his eyes and said a spell in his mouth.
Then, a magical scene happened. The black cat's body was already stiff because it had been dead for a long time, but at this moment its tail trembled slightly, and then its eyes were half-closed, looking like it was about to open but couldn't open it.
"Senior sister, do you know why I said you were stupid?"
The female ghost saw that the black cat actually moved, and she was happy at first, but she didn't have time to think about it before she heard a word that was not pleasant, rolled her eyes at him, she looked at the little black and muttered, "Mouth is cheap." ”
"Is this him, you should be able to see it with your current cultivation, right?"
The female ghost didn't speak, just looked at him in confusion, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in this gourd.
"You're stupid too." The bad old man chuckled, "Silly boy, come, help me." ”
Hearing the words "silly boy", Xiao He found that the bad old man was looking at him, and he depressedly helped him sit down.
He heard the bad old man sigh, "Hey, people are old, and it's uncomfortable to sit." ”
The female ghost couldn't see him so hypocritical, and rolled her eyes a few times in a row, but he still didn't know where to conjure up a pot of wine as if he hadn't seen it. Seeing that he took a few sips of wine and still didn't speak, the female ghost couldn't help it, "Bad old man, what are you selling?" ”
"I still like you to call me brother." The bad old man shook the wine gourd in his hand, and the well was also filled with a burst of wine fragrance, washing away the blood.
The two talked lightly, as if nothing had happened just now, but they were just hungry for Xiao He. The smell of the wine made his stomach, which had been hungry for several days, ring.
"Get down to business." The female ghost glanced at Xiao He coldly, and looked at the bad old man's eyes with a hint of impatience.
"Silly boy, give." The bad old man smiled politely and handed the wine gourd to Xiao He, but his kindness made Xiao He's face red. He didn't care about Xiao He's thoughts, and when he saw that he didn't take it, he stuffed it into his hand, "Good wine, you can take care of a few meals after drinking it." I'm dying, old man, it's useless to keep this thing, I'll give it to you. ”
“……”
"You admit he's your former Blackie, right?" The bad old man looked at the female ghost and asked again, this time he asked very carefully, and his eyes stopped nervously on the female ghost.
"Hmm."
"That's good." Seeing her nodding, he sighed, and moved his toes to poke the black cat, "Tell me, who are you?" ”
"Yusheng." The black cat suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice, but if you listened closely, you could see that it was a child's voice.
Now, it's a female ghost who is dumbfounded. Her expression flickered, and obvious uneasiness appeared on her shoulders that suddenly stood up, and she was stunned like an electric shock for dozens of seconds before she looked at the bad old man in confusion, "Who is Yusheng?" ”
"Fourth." The bad old man said two words lightly, which made the female ghost even more confused.
"That's right, although I don't recognize old things, I only call you junior sister." The bad old man laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's the down-and-out young master who often bullied you before the second child died, Lou Yusheng." ”
"Lou Yusheng? The name is somewhat familiar. The female ghost frowned, as if remembering where she had heard it.
"Hmm. He also has a name, Yu Sheng, the "Yu" in the old thing's surname, and the "Yu" in your surname. He's your fourth senior brother, well, he should be nominally, right?
Because the old thing's evil art ran into you before he could teach it, the fourth one was more ruthless than you, and the old thing was afraid that he would miscalculate and put half of his life into the coffin. You're small and easy to control, after all, not everyone will learn a lot of evil art like the second child and use it to save people. ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled, he looked at the black cat and said, "Fourth, is it fun to be a cat for more than sixty years?" ”
"It's enjoyable." The black cat sneered in its mouth, and its voice was a little chilling. "With a good skill, I have saved enough capital for revenge, and I am also liberated. When I woke up, I became a cat, and I didn't have anything to do. Did you say it was addictive? ”
"So, you have led my junior sister to chase me for so many years?"
"Yes." The black cat's eyes were finally completely closed, and there was endless exhaustion in her voice. "I hate you, but now I thank you. In the past 60 years, I have been as tired as my sister, and I have been injured countless times, and each time I am about to die, but I always can't die.
It's not easy to be a cat, and you have to keep her from chasing you all day long to cause trouble, and you have to worry about her getting hurt when you're outside. She can live well without me, but I can't live without her. The days of fear are now coming to an end. ”
"Are you thanking me for my death?" The bad old man snorted, "It's the first time I've seen you like this." ”
"I guess it's the last time." The black cat sighed, and his voice became weaker and weaker, "Senior brother, I'll wait for you below." ”
The black cat died on the side, and this time it was clean enough that even its soul was scattered.
"He's dead?" The female ghost, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, and her language was so calm that she didn't seem to have any feelings.
"Blackie, no!" The female ghost shook her head, "Fourth Senior Brother, is he dead?" ”
The bad old man is recuperating with his eyes closed, his body is no longer good as Lou Yusheng said, but he has been holding on.
Xiao He on the side is an understanding person, and he can clearly feel that the old man is now short of breath. Seeing that he didn't speak and the female ghost was anxiously waiting for his answer, she had no choice but to answer for him, "It's dead." ”
"Dead." The female ghost muttered to herself, the expression on her face was mysterious, "It's good to be dead, it's good to be dead." ”
"Are you alright?" The female ghost seems to be insane, and as the only person here who has the ability to act, he can only look at it in a hurry.
"It's fine." The female ghost waved her hand at him, and then looked at the bad old man but suddenly smiled stupidly, "Senior brother is right, you are really a stupid boy." Oh, stupid! ”
“……”
"What do I do to you?" She looked at Xiao He, and a few tears fell from the corners of her eyes. This time, instead of blurring the face, it made the half of the face that was almost corroded give birth to baby-like and tender skin.
"At first, I still wanted to kill you. Have you forgotten? ”
Xiao He was staring at her half of her good face with all his attention, looking at it curiously, wondering if she had any holy prescription for beauty, or did she say that she didn't care about her appearance if she did something like them? Because, there is a way to beautify your face at any time, and your beauty is too ordinary, so dirty and messy has become a feature?
Looking at the appearance of these two, one was disgusting and the other was weirdly bad, and he became more and more convinced. He doesn't understand the world of masters, but at this moment, he is extremely eager to become a master, because he wants to help Uncle Geng change his face.
A young face, a face that really belongs to his age.
