Chapter 244, subduing the candle dragon
The candle dragon softened, but my nerves didn't let my guard down because of this, and no one could tell if the hell rift that Xiao Ai opened would suddenly collapse. Or the candle dragon suddenly broke free, so I didn't waste a second, and as soon as he said yes, I started asking questions.
"You're a candle dragon?"
"I don't like the name, but...... Yes. The candle dragon replied honestly.
"You're sealed in that big magnet?" I continued to ask.
"Hey! Yes, I'm sealed. ”
"The appearance of people may be similar to you, but you see, I have hair on my head, a little bit! But the head of the person who seals you should be bare, you don't think about the smell or anything, just think about the modeling, whether the person who seals you is a bare head. A wrinkled old demon head? ”
The candle dragon opened its right eye and stared at me up and down carefully for a few moments before speaking, "It's not you, he doesn't look like you, and you have other smells on you." ”
"Yes, it's a dog, a dog that can set fire." I explained.
"Uh-huh, well, that's the smell, yes! That bald head is the same as you, he's not an old demon, just a person like you, who hides demons in his body! ”
I was stunned!
The meaning of the candle dragon's expression is already clear, the old man with a bald head and fangs is not a demon. It's a person. And it's similar to me. I borrowed the life of the pot of gold, so that old guy with a bald head and fangs also borrowed the life of some other youkai, so he has lived until now.
But how did he do it?
Could it be that he has something to do with black and white impermanence?
This may sound surprising, but it's not impossible when you think about it.
Whether it is Xi Lin or Fan Po, they have only lived for twenty or thirty years, and the two old men of black and white impermanence have been in this world for too long, since they can choose Xi Lin to be the living yin, they may also have chosen other people to be their disciples, maybe the two old men also have a time when they look away, one of their disciples went mad, and as a result, he became a monster who borrowed the life of a demon to live forever.
Of course. This is just my speculation, and whether this is the case or not will need to be investigated later.
After thinking about it, I also took my thoughts back, and then continued to ask the candle dragon: "That bald head, what is the monster on his body?" He planted a red demon seed on my hand, and his monster is also related to fire? How did he seal you? What kind of grudge do you have between you? ”
"No injustice, no revenge! He just wants my life and wants to swallow me in his stomach! But he underestimated me too much, and in the end we lost both sides. I scattered my body and hid to regain my strength, and I killed a lot of demons in his hands, and his body was burned to ashes by me, but I knew that he was definitely not dead, and he had been harassing me with those ghosts, just to weaken me. I thought he would make a comeback someday. I didn't expect it to be you two fresh faces who came over in the end. ”
Candle Dragon answered all my questions in one go, and his words also made me basically understand the ins and outs of the matter.
That bald old demon is not a monster, he is also an onmyoji like me, or he has his own special professional title. While conducting research on spells and spells, he seems to have a special hobby, which is to capture demons as his own gods and ghosts, and at the same time use the lives of these demons to achieve immortality.
Among the demon beasts recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the candle dragon has a unique status, and if it can be captured as a ghost, it is tantamount to a king for an onmyoji.
However, this bald head underestimated the power of the candle dragon, he tried all the ghosts, and only fought with the candle dragon for half a catty, and in the end, both were defeated, and his body was also crushed in the copper mountain.
Years later, the copper mountain was dug up, and his body was rediscovered, and I think it was the maddening corpse. I can't imagine the specific process of his recovery, but it should be related to fire and flesh, and after he came back to life, he didn't immediately challenge the candle dragon, but hid in the madhouse to accumulate strength.
On the other hand, the candle dragon also hides in the magnet to regain its strength, those skeleton monsters are the guardians of the candle dragon, and the war horse revenant is left by the bald head to prevent the candle dragon from revival.
The bald head should know very well that I will try my best to deal with him, and he also knows that Xiao Ai will help me, but he still allows me and Xiao Ai to act at will, I think he should be too confident in himself, he thinks that the two of us alone will not be able to deal with him, and we will never find his weakness.
We'll find Copper Mountain and release the Candle Dragon, which should have been out of his calculations, but this result only made me more aware of the difference in strength between me and him.
"So you don't know how many demon king-style ghosts he has, and you don't know what demon seeds he planted in my hands, and you don't know his weaknesses, right?" I confirmed to the candle dragon again.
The candle dragon was a little reluctant, but in the end he nodded and said, "Weakness is such a thing...... If you have to say it, he's taking the life of the monster, and if he doesn't have the monster, he's finished. ”
This is indeed a weakness, and if the pot of gold is taken out of my body, I will be doomed, and the bald head should be in the same situation as me. But how to get his ghosts to leave him, this is a problem, I think I should probably go to see the seventh master and the eighth master again, ask them if there is any way, the most important thing is to see if this bald head is the bear apprentice they accepted in the early years, maybe these two masters can personally help me with this.
The next plan of action has been decided, and the next step is how to send down the candle dragon.
I've always been a man of my word, but for Candle Dragon, I don't want to be a gentleman, I just want to be a villain, and it's too dangerous to release it.
I held my chin and thought about it, then looked at Xiao Ai again, intending to ask him how long he had left.
Xiao Ai understood and raised two fingers at me.
Two minutes, as if there was still enough time for me to figure out what to do with the Candle Dragon, I turned to look at the Candle Dragon again and asked, "Do you know how many people you killed this time?" ”
"I don't know, I just need to regain my strength, just like you need to eat when you're hungry! Have you ever wondered how much animal meat you have eaten since you were born? I'm sure you've never thought about it, and you've never felt guilty about it! I'm the same, I don't feel like I've done anything wrong! The candle dragon replied calmly.
Candle Dragon's words left me speechless.
I am asking him from the perspective of a person, but in the eyes of the candle dragon, all things are equal, and all qiē follow the laws of nature, and the laws of nature are very simple - eat and be eaten.
"Okay, so can you bring back to life those who you've 'eaten'?" I didn't mean much when I said this, because when he asked, I had already thought that the candle dragon would ask me: Can you resurrect what you have eaten?
To my surprise, the candle dragon nodded to me, and said, "You can live, but there will be some mutilations in the limbs, and I can't guarantee that everyone will survive." ”
"Good! You let them live, and I'll let you out! "I continue to make conditions for the candle dragon.
The candle dragon stared at me for a few moments, but did nothing, and it felt as if it had read through my mind, as if it knew that I had no intention of letting it out.
I suddenly came up with an even better trick, and I immediately admitted, "Well, I admit that I really didn't plan to let you out, I just thought you said what I wanted to know, did what I wanted you to do, and then throw you to hell, I'm such a shameless villain." But now I have a new one, which I can accept, depending on what you think! ”
"You say!" The candle dragon replied very happily this time.
"You tell me your real name, and then seal your soul with me, and you will be my ghost! Although you are subject to me, you can at least live, you can move relatively freely, and the most important thing is that I can take you to that bald head for revenge, you should really want to clean him up, I also want to kill him! "I'm waiting for you in hell: wonderful
My previous words made Candle Dragon a little disgusted, but the sentence added later seemed to hit the key point!
The candle dragon looked at me for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "My real name is Yingting, I will bring the people in this building to life, I hope you can also do what you say." "The regiment is anti-island.
"Don't worry, I will never lie to you this time!" I assured the candle dragon.
The candle dragon took a deep breath, and its exposed body turned red. I was vigilant to prevent it from suddenly erupting into fire, but my fears seemed unfounded, and instead of breathing fire, the candle dragon spewed out a breath of warm air, and most importantly, there was no stench in it.
Then, the candle dragon swept its remaining wings on the ground, and Xu Li appeared on the ground, her stomach restored to normal, but she was in a coma. Xu Li should be able to represent the situation of everyone in the entire building, and the candle dragon is showing me its attitude in this way, and I also seal the soul of the candle dragon afterwards.
When the tedious sealing process was over, Xiao Ai also pulled out the magic cone, and the crack in hell disappeared, but the candle dragon did not take back the back half of its body, and only took back a piece of bones, which is estimated to be related to the fact that it returned the lives of the entire building.
I still have a lot of questions to ask the candle dragon, such as why it chose this building to regain its strength instead of running into the woods, like how it fought the bald head, etc., etc., etc But I'll save that for later, after all, the dragon is now my ghost...... No, I think I should call it Shikigami.
