Chapter 40: The Enemy? Friend?
The Dead Apostle leaned his cane against the table beside him and said calmly, "Who am I, haven't I already told you?" My name is Dead Apostle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAs for why I'm helping you, one is that I want you to help me, and the other is that I'm looking for something. ā
"Although you saved my friend, but you took such pains to use me, the thing you are looking for must be very important to you, right?" After hearing this, he clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Smart, I really didn't see the wrong person." At this point, I might as well tell you the truth, I saw that your friend was haunted by a powerful ghost who was quite capable, so I brought him in to see if I could gain something, but I never expected that it would lure you out. And you are really the person I am looking for, so I will find someone to spy on you, who knows that the ghost actually wants to frame you, so I just took the opportunity to plan and first open the ghost gate and lead you to the underworld. Then I gave you the last letter and sent someone to answer you, so strictly speaking, I saved you twice. But the person who sent it, I had long expected that she would definitely go and not return from this trip, and she didn't come back, and I didn't care. ā
Speaking of Sheng Dan, she can be considered to have saved our lives, but in the eyes of the Dead Apostles, she is just a pawn that can be discarded at any time. I just wanted to question him, why did you do this, "You ......" Li Zhisheng saw that I was a little excited, and quickly grabbed me and whispered: "Don't be excited, ask clearly." ā
I suppressed the anger in my heart and said, "Since you are so powerful, what else can I do to help you?" The Dead Apostle picked up his cane and pointed at my chest and said, "The Nine Lives Star Chart, only it can seal the Demon Mound." Also, I think you can help me find something, and once I find it, I think I can help you remove the curse from your hands once and for all. ā
Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little moved, but after thinking about it, "Seal the ghost mound, even if I don't need to say it, I will go, otherwise how many people will die and become lonely ghosts, it is impossible to show at all." It would be nice if he could help me remove the mark, but what he needs ......"
Thinking of this, I pretended to be dismissive and asked, "What do you want me to help you find?" Seeing that I was interested in helping, he hurriedly sat me down and said, "Actually, I'm not the bad guy you think I am. I want you to help me find this thing for the benefit of the common people. ā
I interrupted him impatiently: "Don't beat around the bush, anyone can tell the truth, and if you have anything, just say it." He coughed twice, straightened up and said, "Since you are so refreshing, then I won't go around in circles, what I want you to find is called the Soul Sealing Talisman." ā
As soon as I heard the three words of the Soul Sealing Talisman, I was immediately surprised, but I didn't dare to show it, because I only knew one Soul Sealing Talisman. And Na Fu is now in Baiyan Village, suppressing the evil spirits, but I don't plan to tell him the truth directly.
I hesitated for a moment and said, "I seem to have heard of this thing, but I don't know what it is, if you really want me to help you find it, tell me about it, and I have a clue." ā
He nodded after listening to me, but he didn't seem to believe my words, "No, as far as I know, in ancient times, a master of the world used thaumaturgy to forge three boxes, and put different treasures in the three boxes, and each box has a different function. One is to open, one is sealed, and the last one is extinguished, and the methods of opening are also different. And this soul talisman is one of these three boxes. ā
He looked at my hand and continued, "And according to rumors, anyone who touches that box will be branded, and this brand is what you have in your hand. Coupled with the Nine Lives Star Chart on your chest, how could you not know the whereabouts of the Soul Sealing Talisman? ā
I saw that he knew so much about the box that he was able to name the third box, which I didn't even know. I used to think he was very eccentric, but now he is a little more mysterious in my heart, and I have to be wary of him.
But since I don't know what he plans to do with this soul talisman now, let alone what the soul seal talisman is, I decided to continue to play dumb and want to extract more valuable things from his mouth. I said, "Now that you already know, I won't hide it from you, I do have one." But there was only a booklet to suppress the imprint on my hand, and nothing else. ā
At this time, Hu Fang behind her seemed a little impatient, she pocketed her pants and kept walking back and forth. Li Zhisheng, on the other hand, was relatively steady, standing beside me all the time, listening carefully to our conversation.
The Dead Apostle frowned as he took his staff, held it in his palm, and spun around the ground. After a moment, he said to me, "That is, this soul talisman is in the other two boxes?" ā
I was relieved to see that he didn't know exactly what was in the box and how to use it. I pretended to be thoughtful and said, "Well, it should be, so since you want to find the so-called soul sealing talisman, why don't you tell me about its function?" Otherwise, even if I find it, I won't be able to tell the real thing. ā
He laughed and said, "There is only one soul seal left in the world, and I believe that no one wants to forge it. Because this thing is used to restrain the anger of thousands of years of evil spirits, it can also be used to suppress evil spirits and ghosts. Isn't it tantamount to killing oneself to use a fake one? And there will be no more than ten living people who know about this thing and still live in the world, so it is impossible to have a fake. ā
"In other words, if I can find the other two boxes and get the talismans inside, you can help me unlock the sigil?" The Dead Apostle nodded and said, "That's right, you give me the soul sealing talisman, and I will help you restore your free body." How about it, do you want to cooperate? ā
I thought to myself, "Whether or not I need him to help me unseal in the end, I'm going to find this third box, and maybe this third box is hiding a way to unseal." And at the moment he knows more clues than I do, so if he wants to use me, why can't I use him in reverse? ā
Thinking of this, I deliberately looked embarrassed and said, "It can be, but I don't have any clues now, how can I find it?" ā
When the Dead Apostle saw that I agreed, he smiled and said, "Since you agree, I'll find the clue." But at present, I only know that the box is very likely to be hidden in the ghost mound, so this is what requires the ability of your Nine Lives Star Map. That's why I led you to Fengmen Village before. ā
Seeing that it was not too early, I stood up and said, "Since you don't have any extra clues now, and we have a consensus on cooperation, then contact me when you find clues." It's not too early, and it's time for me to take my leave. ā
"Well, that's it." With that, he also stood up and sent us to the door.
After separating from the Dead Apostles, the three of them walked down the road. Hu Fang was already waiting anxiously, she said: "I'm starving, you see it's past eight o'clock, and you haven't finished eating yet, just listen to what you are talking about there." I rolled up my sleeves and stretched out my hand in front of her and said, "Look, look, I'm dying, you still want to eat, so let me go back and finish my masterpiece first." ā
Hu Fang glanced at me, muttered: "If people don't eat, they will starve to death......" I saw that she was a little unhappy, so I said: "It's better to go home now, and when I finish my creation, I invite you to go out to eat, anyway, there is nothing to eat at home." ā
As soon as she heard that there was an opportunity to have a big meal, she clapped her hands and said, "Okay! Okay! What to eat! Li Zhisheng said with a smile on the side: "I think you are quite energetic, where do you look like a hungry person." The three of them walked like this, talking and laughing, and the heavy atmosphere of the conversation with the Dead Apostle just now was long gone.
After that, we took a taxi and rushed home as fast as we could. As soon as I entered, I rushed into the bedroom, pulled out the parchment book, and began to write. However, due to the number of incidents, it took me two hours to write about it, but the incident I encountered in the hospital, because I had some sympathy for the old man's family, did not record it.
As soon as I finished writing, there was a slight burning sensation in my arm, and I hurriedly rolled up my sleeves to watch. At first glance, I was surprised to find that the mark had only receded by less than a fifth, "No, there are thousands of ghosts, how can it be so little." Just as I was surprised, Li Zhisheng walked in.
He wanted to see if I had finished writing and was ready to go to dinner, but when he saw me sitting in a chair and looking at his arm in surprise, he asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ā
"That's not the right number, if you record a few ghosts before, you can clearly see the signs of fading. But now I see at least a thousand ghosts there, but why ......," I said anxiously.
Li Zhisheng thought for a while and said, "Think about it, did you scatter all those ghosts at that time?" "Hearing him say this, it dawned on me, not to mention how much Sheng Dan had killed, and then the Void used my body to absorb almost all of those ghosts, and also transformed them into power, and finally used them. Now, it's a blessing in misfortune to be able to eliminate so many. I was in a daze and said to myself, "No wonder it's so little." ā
Li Zhisheng saw that I was stunned, pushed me and said, "Hey~ How is it, have you figured it out?" I came back to my senses and said, "Uh... I probably understand, let's not talk about it now, let's go out and find a place to eat, and talk while eating. ā
Saying that, Li Zhisheng and I took Hu Fang, who was already hungry and paralyzed on the sofa, to a 24-hour Western restaurant, the environment was not bad, but there was no one anymore, after all, it was close to eleven o'clock.
I called the waiter, Hu Fang is still in accordance with the convention, in order to support the immortality as the standard in the menu screening work, usually she will only choose what is needed, but this is good, eliminate some unwanted, the rest of the want, scared I almost knelt on the ground.
Li Zhisheng also shook his head again and again when he saw this, I asked him if he wanted something, and he gloated and said, "Why don't we add the ones we didn't want just now?" After listening to him, I hurriedly waved at him and asked him not to trick me.
But then Li Zhisheng put away his joking expression, and said to me with a frown: "According to the current situation of the mark on your hand, how long do you think you can last?!" ā
