Chapter 64: The Pact of Life and Death
When I came to see Cheng Qianshou that day, the palace lord was also by my side, presumably it was Cheng Qianshou who restored the dead man's sebum that I gave him, and he was horrified to find that these dead man's skins were actually the palace lord next to me.
Cheng Qianshou vaguely said that the painted skin meant that the palace lord was a dead man wearing human skin, which was why he said that I hit a ghost.
No matter how strong I can bear it, now looking at the head of the palace lord on the table, my eyes are on the face of the palace lord standing in front of me, and I suddenly have a shuddering feeling, Tian Ji retreated further than me, and the long shadow of the palace lord in the candlelight drowned us like a net.
"You...... Are you a human or a ghost? "The field chicken has retreated outside.
"Why is it exactly the same as me?" The palace lord ignored him, and hesitantly walked to his head, his appearance even more shocked than ours.
I never dreamed that the dead man's sebum brought back from Kunlun Jinque would be restored by the palace lord, I was also raised by the dead, and I was afraid of a lot of things, but I was never afraid of ghosts, because I never believed in this thing, but now I began to waver a little.
"He was shocked, and you followed suit." The palace lord turned to me and gave me a blank look.
I took a step back and my face was pale, the chickens were about to shrink to the door, looking uneasy, my hands trembled involuntarily, the flickering candlelight flickered, looking at the heads of the two palace lords opposite, cold sweat soaked out of my back.
"It's not over, I'm still panting, have you ever seen a ghost with a shadow?" Gong Jue was distraught, and walked over and grabbed me and dragged the pheasant into the house, my feet were trembling, and the pheasant was so limp that he didn't even have the strength to resist.
"The dead are cold, and he still has the temperature." Tian Ji looked at Gong Jue's hand tremblingly, and turned his head to look at me in horror. "It's not like you're not dead."
Gong Jue picked up the head on the table and handed it to us: "Could it be that Cheng Qianshou is playing tricks on me?" ”
Where do I dare to look at Tian Ji, tilting his head and trying to hide, he was blocked in front by the palace lord with a human head, Ye Zhiqiu said that after these sebum tests, it was determined that the time was left over from 4,000 years ago, that is, there was a dead man standing in front of us who had been dead for 4,000 years and still had a ghost.
"Why is Uncle Cheng teasing you, it's the first time he's seen you, if it's really a trick, he won't scare himself into a heart attack." I struggled to break free of the palace lord's hand, and I felt my scalp tingle when I was pulled by him.
"Then why is it that the sebum is the way I am when it comes back?" Gong Jue asked seriously and suspiciously.
This question should be asked the most should be me and Tian Ji, it took me a long time to slowly calm down, we only confirmed the Yellow Emperor in the ice coffin in the Kunlun Golden Gate, as for the other five ice coffins buried in the unknown.
"You may have been to Kunlun Jinque!" Tian Ji timidly pushed away the head in the palace lord's hand.
"Nonsense, of course I've been."
"No, I mean you've probably been there before." Tian Ji swallowed his saliva and looked panicked.
"It's really possible, do you remember, the passage mechanism in the Kunlun Golden Gate, you can't even determine which bronze bell to knock, but you chose the fifth one correctly." I suddenly remembered what had happened in Kunlun Jinque before. "And when we were attacked by puppet bats, you were able to crack the mechanism in such a short time, you said it was ...... feeling"
"Yes, that's what I mean, you should have been to Kunlun Jinque before, so you will know how to open those mechanisms." Tian Ji nodded.
"Then, do you want to say that I went there four thousand years ago, and then died in it, and then I tricked the corpse and crawled out of the ice coffin......" Gong Jue looked at me and Tian Ji with an irritated face. No matter how I've survived until now, since I've been there, why can't I even remember myself. ”
"Got it!" Tian Ji slapped his head. "I know what's going on."
I looked at Tian Ji, and the palace lord urged him to hurry up.
"Reincarnation! You have been reincarnated, and you have forgotten everything that happened before you drank Meng Po soup. Tian Ji looked at the palace lord seriously. Then when we go to Kunlun Jinque again, you will revisit the old place, so it vaguely reminds you of the events of your previous life. ”
"You're enough, you better stop talking." The palace lord glared at him speechlessly, and put the restored human head and his own face together. "I've been so reincarnated so thoroughly, I've been reincarnated for hundreds of lifetimes, and I haven't changed at all?"
"That'...... Then I don't know. "The field chicken stall looks very helpless.
"When did you meet your master Gong Yu?" I took the candle and approached the head in the palace lord's hand, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then asked.
"The master said that I was an abandoned baby, and she adopted me after she found out, and I have been following the master since I was a child." The palace lord and I looked at each other. "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"
"So even your Gong Yu doesn't know your background?"
"I asked the master, but she couldn't tell me."
"Gong Yu has been to Kunlun Jinque, and you were buried in the ice coffin inside......" I saw Gong Jue glaring at me viciously in the middle of my speech, and quickly changed his words. I buried a person who looks exactly like you, and Gong Yu adopted you...... I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”
"Did Gong Yu mention the Kunlun Golden Gate in front of you, or something related to the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace?" The field chicken is finally a little normal.
"No, I have been learning from my master since I was a child, until she took me to Chengdu to meet the shopkeeper Ye, and I first knew about the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace on the cruise ship." The palace lord is very sure.
"You definitely didn't feel right about those organs in Kunlun Jinque, Tian Ji may not really be talking nonsense, you may have really been to that place, so you will vaguely remember how to crack the mechanism." I looked at the palace lord and asked very seriously. "Think about it, did Gong Yu take you there when you were a child?"
"What is there to think about this, I have always had a good memory, I remember the things from childhood to adulthood very clearly, I have never left Foshan since I can remember, let alone Kunlun."
"Anyway, four thousand years ago, there was a person who looked exactly like you, who crawled out of the ice coffin of Kunlun Jinque, and you can indeed remember the method of cracking the mechanism in the Ice Palace, you should be more or less inextricably linked to Kunlun Jinque, maybe ......" I took a deep breath and walked back and forth a few steps. You, like me, have been hidden from the people closest to you. ”
"Are you saying that my master still hasn't told me anything?" The palace lord looked at me in surprise.
"I still have questions waiting for Ye Jiuqing to explain, I'm afraid you can only ask Gong Yu in person." I shook my head and sighed heavily.
I asked Gong Jue to take off the sebum on the human head, this thing must not be seen by others, I tracked down the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Fang to find the enemy who killed my father, although Gong Jue obeyed Gong Yu's arrangement to follow me, now he should be the same as me, eager to unlock the secret of that mysterious treasure ship, and now in his heart, the mysteries that plague him are estimated to be far more than his original intention of being with me.
"Tian Ji, I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as I thought, I shouldn't have dragged you into the water in the first place, this matter is widely implicated and can be killed at any time, I and the palace lord have our own reasons, we must continue to investigate, you don't wade into this troubled water." I turned to look at the field chicken in the back. "You take the gold jaws and gold bars with you when you go back, and we'll leave it at that."
"What's the matter, do you still want me, since I got to know you, I'm not digging graves, I'm playing with my life, now even the ghosts have come out, and my life has almost fallen several times, what else do I have to be afraid of, besides, you pulled me in at the beginning, and a golden eye and gold bar wanted to send me away, and they looked down on me too much." Tian Ji stubbornly raised his head and said in a strong voice. "Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows that after experiencing life and death, that is a brother, you say it yourself, how many times have I almost died with you, since we have lived and died together, then we are brothers, your business is also my business, please God is easy to send God, Lao Tzu will not leave."
I know that Tian Ji attaches great importance to affection, although the three of us have known each other for a short time, but this is all the way down to each other, I don't want to involve Tian Ji, but I also know his temperament and temperament by looking at him, and I know that persuading him is useless.
Tian Ji walked back, poked the head of the person in Gong Jue's hand, and smiled innocently.
"Don't say that this matter has nothing to do with me, if I can follow you to find the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, the old man of my family will also have to look at me with admiration, and since you are brothers, I will admit that you are really a ghost, even if you are going to the Netherworld, I will accompany you."
