Chapter 4: The Ghost Servant
The black-robed man came to Long Daoling, Long Daoling also saw his appearance clearly at this time, this person covered by the black robe, with a skeletal face, very terrifying, it feels somewhat similar to the Western Grim Reaper he knows, but there are some differences, although the face of the Western Grim Reaper is also a skeleton, but it is by no means a black skeleton, and there will be no dark red eyes, and the most important thing is that the Grim Reaper will not be so short and thin.
The height of this black-robed skeleton was about 1.6 meters at most, and it was a little shorter in front of Long Dao Ling, "Who are you?" Long Daoling asked loudly.
"Respected ghost master, my name is ghost servant, and I am your faithful servant!" The black-robed skeleton replied respectfully.
"My servant, I don't know what you're talking about, what do you want to do?" Long Dao Ling seemed to be hit by these strange things and became a little angry.
"Ghost master, please don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, because I am your servant, I will only help you, please wait a while, I will explain all this for you!" The ghost servant replied slowly.
Long Dao Ling is now in this environment, although those ghosts outside have disappeared for some reason, but another strange ghost has appeared in front of him, however, this ghost servant seems to have no ill will towards him, and now he can only listen to him explain all these fantastical things.
The ghost servant chuckled and began to speak・・・・・
"The name of the book that the ghost lord is holding now is called the Hundred Ghost Quanshu, which is the secret treasure of my ghost clan, and I have been lingering in the world for a long time, and finally met you, this book is not something that ordinary people can spy on, the premise is that the ghost master's natural eyes can see it, and this forest is covered by the power of the Hundred Ghost Encyclopedia, ordinary people will easily fall into their own hallucinations when they enter here, and meet the things they are most afraid of in their hearts, in addition, the ghosts that the ghost master just saw are not real ghosts, It is the illusion of the power of the Book of Hundred Ghosts, so it is the arrangement of fate that you can meet the Book of Hundred Ghosts through these powers, quack.
Those who have this book can command all the ghosts to become your servants, work for you, and then make you the lord of the hundred ghosts, I don't know if this explanation, is the ghost lord clear? The ghost servant raised his grim face and looked at Long Dao Ling and asked.
"Ghosts, I know this very well, I have been able to see them since I was a child, you mean that I can become the master of ghosts?" Long Dao Ling looked at the ghost servant suspiciously.
"The meaning is almost the same, the ghost master doesn't have to wonder, please look at the book of hundred ghosts, there will be the answer you want on it?" The ghost servant motioned to Long Dao Ling to look at the book of the hundred ghosts.
At this point, the book of the hundred ghosts turned to the third page by itself, and some text was displayed on it, and the ghost servant assisted him in explaining: "The ghost master has all the information about ghosts here, let me explain it to you in detail:
Classification of ghosts - Ghosts are basically divided into four types: ghosts, ghosts, ghosts, and ghosts
"One" ghosts: refers to the ghosts that ordinary people turn into after death, and are divided into two categories
The first category: ordinary people can't see, only have a virtual body, and have no ability.
The second category: with resentment, it will appear in front of the person who wants to do harm, make people hallucinate, have some basic abilities, and even have the ability to possess themselves
"2" ghosts: refers to the ghosts that gain power after death, and these ghosts all have strong resentments and are divided into two categories
Category 1: Death under certain conditions to gain abilities
Category 2: Inheritance after death with special abilities in front of the body
The strongest level of this type of ghost is to have a red aura and a cyan aura
"Three" ghosts: refers to all ghosts that are not transformed by humans after death, and they themselves have a certain amount of resentment, which are divided into two categories
Category 1: Animalization and Florization
Category 2: Transformation of various objects
Among them, ghosts and ghosts are not equal in strength, both have special powers, but the substances formed are different.
"Four" ghosts: refers to innate ghosts, which are divided into two categories
The first category: ghosts formed by the natural qi between heaven and earth
The second category: Generally refers to evil spirits
The most powerful of these ghosts is the "Oni King", a demon with a certain amount of power, and a large number of demons have gathered around him as his subordinates
There is also a kind called the ghost clan-
Oni: The ancestral clan that belongs to all ghosts
The book of 100 ghosts lists all the divisions of ghosts in great detail, so that you know what kind of existence ghosts are! ”
Long Daoling listened to the introduction of the ghost servant while looking at the book of the hundred ghosts, he never thought that there was so much knowledge in the ghost plain, which opened his mind, and he understood the knowledge about ghosts in an instant.
"The most special thing about the book of 100 ghosts is that you can include these types of ghosts in the book, as your servants to serve, once they become your servants, they are absolutely loyal to you, as for the ring on your hand called "ghost ring" is a symbol of the holder of the book of 100 ghosts, it can give the holder the power of the ghost to induce the ghost, and it is also the medium for the holder to include the ghost in the book of 100 ghosts, and each ghost will absorb a drop of blood from the holder as a price. The ghost servant gave him a detailed introduction.
At this time, the book of 100 ghosts turned to the fourth page again, and the list of the ghost master's abilities appeared, and an ability was displayed below the ability: ghost touch - the ability to touch ghosts, which can close the power gap between oneself and ghosts.
Long Dao Ling frowned, and the ghost servant continued to say: "This is the initial ability you said to be given as a ghost master, because you don't have any ghost energy on your body, this ability is not very strong, and when the ghosts you collect reach a certain number or strength, you will open the higher-level abilities one by one, in other words, the more ghosts you receive, the stronger your strength will be." ”
The ghost servant's explanation made Long Daoling begin to understand the role of this book, and immediately said to him: "Can I understand this ability as the ability to touch ghosts?" ”
"Yes, any ghost appears in front of you, and you can reach them." The ghost servant said with a smile.
Although he didn't know the situation very well, Long Daoling felt that it was very powerful, if it was really like that, he would not only be able to see ghosts in the future, but also touch them, and maybe protect himself.
At this time, the page of the book turned to the next page again, and the word ghost appeared on it, and the pattern of a skull ring appeared below, and a line of text introduced appeared below the pattern, which was the same as what the ghost servant said, which was the introduction of the ghost ring:
Ghost Ring: As a symbol of the holder of the Hyakki Encyclopedia, it gives the holder the power to induce ghosts, and it is also the medium for the holder to include ghosts in the Hyakki Encyclopedia, and each ghost will absorb a drop of blood from the holder as a price.
The ghost servant said: "The ghost weapon is a kind of instrument with the power of ghosts, and it can also be included in the book and used by the ghost master!" ”
Next, the page jumps to another page, which simply shows the "List of Hundred Ghosts", which is an important part of the book of Hundred Ghosts, the List of Ghosts, but it still shows a blank appearance for the time being.
The ghost servant said to Long Daoling: "There are no ghosts in the Hundred Ghosts Book for the time being, and it will be up to you to improve the Hundred Ghosts Book in the future, collect them one by one, and the ghosts collected will appear on the pages of the book, and other abilities will be obtained from them as you collect them." ”
After listening to the introduction of the ghost servant, Long Daoling felt that tonight's encounter was unusually fantastic, and the first feeling given to him by this so-called book of hundred ghosts was like a game he knew, as if completing a task to collect power to upgrade himself.
The pair of eyes he originally had had already annoyed him, and now that he has encountered this book of hundred ghosts, he is afraid that his future fate will be even more tortuous and bizarre, but he is also used to this kind of submissive fate, and he feels that it doesn't matter, so he has to accept his fate.
"Well, I already have a general understanding, that is, I have reached a contract with the Hundred Ghost Quanshu, so what should I do next?" Long Daoling asked indifferently at the ghost servant, his psychological state at this time also began to change, and he seemed to be much calmer.
"Quack, the ghost lord doesn't have to think too complicated, just continue to live your life as before, on the contrary, you will slowly know the benefits that the Hundred Ghost Encyclopedia will bring to you, and I will slowly let the ghost lord know more about all this!" The ghost servant let out an eerie laugh as he spoke.
"So, should I keep this book with me?" Long Daoling looked at the book of the hundred ghosts and asked.
At this time, the red light on the book of the hundred ghosts gradually faded, broke away from Long Daoling's hand, and entered his chest, Long Daoling didn't have time to react, he was taken aback, and hurriedly touched his chest, looking for the book.
"Ghost Master, I forgot to tell you that the Book of Hundred Ghosts has become one with your soul, it will be attached to your soul, it will be with you, as long as you need it, the mind will summon, it will appear in your hands." The ghost servant added.
"That's pretty convenient!" Long Dao Ling thought to himself, and then tried it, and if it was really as the ghost servant said, as long as his mind moved, he could summon the book of hundred ghosts in his hand, which was very convenient.
After Long Daoling became familiar with these, he looked at the ghost servant and asked, "Ghost servant, I want to ask you something?" ”
"Ghost Master, please say that the ghost servant is your loyal servant and can answer any questions you may have?" The ghost servant replied.
"I read the introduction in the book of 100 ghosts, I don't know what kind of ghost you belong to?" Long Dao Ling asked thoughtfully.
"The ghost servant is a member of the ghost clan!" The ghost servant replied unequivocally.
"Ghosts? Is it the ancestor of ghosts?,There's not much introduction to this type of ghost in the book.,It feels a little mysterious.,What kind of existence is it? Long Daoling asked suspiciously.
"I only know that I belong to the ghost clan, and I can't say what kind of existence the ghost servant is, and my subordinates can't answer it, but other than that, I can answer the rest of the questions!" The ghost servant replied slowly.
"In that case, forget it, anyway, let's get to know it slowly in the future!" Long Daoling said to himself.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, Long Dao Ling opened his eyes suddenly, and found himself lying in the woods, and it was still dark around him, he felt a little dizzy in his head, remembered what had just happened, and thought: Could it be that he was dreaming just now?
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had just fallen asleep here and had a strange nightmare, so he didn't take it to heart, and slowly stood up, he didn't know how long he slept here, his classmates would definitely be worried, so he prepared to go out of the woods and gather with everyone.
At this moment, his eyes swept over his left hand, revealing a look of surprise, he actually had the skull ring called "Ghost Ring" on the middle finger of his left hand, he couldn't help pinching his face, there was a pain, and he was sure that he was not in a dream.
Everything that happened just now was not a dream, but something that really happened, just when he was in a daze, noisy human voices and footsteps sounded in the woods, the class leader and his classmates had already searched here, and dozens of flashlights shot from far to near in the dark woods.
They saw a figure appear in front of them, and immediately ran over, and the light also shone on Long Dao Ling's body.
"Look, Dao Ling is here!" The squad leader was the first to recognize him and shouted.
After a while, Chen Dong quickly ran to his side and patted him on the shoulder, Long Daoling came to his senses, and he was also happy to see the appearance of his classmates.
"Dao Ling, why did you come here in a daze, we are all so worried!" Chen Dong said eagerly.
"I just seem to have gotten lost and accidentally fell asleep here, hehe!" Long Daoling replied with an embarrassed smile, he didn't want to mention his strange encounter to his classmates.
The squad leader also said to him: "It's okay, how can you kid leave your partner He Xiaoice and run away alone, do you let the little girl stay alone in this environment, do you want to go?" ”
"Oh, by the way, what's wrong with He Xiaoice, is something wrong?" Long Daoling then remembered He Xiaoice.
"She was just scared and fainted, and now she's woken up outside, and now that we're sure everyone is okay, let's get out of here quickly, it's not too early!" The squad leader sighed and said slowly.
Then, the group of them left the woods and walked outside, Long Daoling saw He Xiaoice, He Xiaoice seemed to be frightened, she was not very willing to talk to Long Daoling, seemed to be angry.
"I'm sorry!" Long Daoling didn't know what to say, so he could only walk up to him and apologize to her, He Xiaoice didn't respond, tonight's matter came to an end, the test game was over, and everyone returned to school together.
After Long Daoling returned to school, he did not go directly back to the dormitory, he walked to the secluded and uninhabited place behind the teaching building, looked carefully at the ring in his hand, and recalled tonight's events, in order to confirm that these were not dreams, Long Daoling tried to summon his mind, and suddenly, a thick black book appeared in his hand.
"The Book of Hundred Ghosts, all of this is true, but what about the ghost servants?" Long Daoling said to himself.
"Ghost master, the ghost servant is here, what do you have to call your subordinates?" A voice came from the ghost ring in his hand, and the skeleton's eyes flashed red, and then, a cloud of black smoke appeared in front of him.
"It's nothing, I'm just checking it, why are you hiding in the ghost ring?" Long Daoling asked.
The ghost servant smiled: "Quack, the ghost master is too worried, the ghost qi of his subordinates is more special, although ordinary people can't see me, but it is inevitable that in the future, I will meet people who have the same talent as the ghost master, so as to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, I am temporarily attached to the ghost ring, and my breath can be well cut off in the ghost ring, and I can still have a dialogue with the ghost master." ”
"I see, since that's the case, there's nothing to do now, you go back to the ghost ring, I'll look for you again if you need to!" Long Dao Ling commanded the ghost servant.
"Yes, ghost lord!" Then, the ghost servant turned into a cloud of black smoke and entered the ghost ring.
Although there were still many questions in his heart, what happened tonight made Long Daoling feel very tired, and he immediately returned to the dormitory, his roommates were asleep, and he also lay on the bed thinking about it, and fell asleep unconsciously.
