Chapter 196: Resurrection from the Dead
In the courtyard gate, Ghost Bodhi sat back on the Taishi chair on the main seat again, she drank the best Shenluo tea that Xu Han made for her, and her feet dangled back and forth in the air.
Fang Ziyu on the side lowered his head and covered his ears, looking aggrieved, of course, mixed with anger and resentment.
Ghost Bodhi seemed to enjoy the treatment at the moment, she put down the teacup in her hand leisurely, and then looked at Fang Ziyu and asked, "Xiao Yu'er, how have you practiced your exercises recently?"
"Very good!" Fang Ziyu replied angrily.
"Huh?!" But as soon as the words came out, the cold snort of Ghost Bodhi came over at that time.
Miss Fang's face changed immediately, and she hurriedly changed her words and said, "I mean I practice diligently every day, forgetting to sleep and eat. ”
"Is that so?" Ghost Bodhi was obviously very aware of Miss Fang's nature, and looked at Xu Han with a suspicious expression, as if he wanted to prove this.
Xu Han was stunned, as far as he could see, Fang Ziyu pulled Su Mu'an to eat here and play there every day, when had he ever practiced the exercises, but at the same time, Miss Fang squeezed her eyebrows at Xu Han vigorously, Xu Han came to her senses, although she was a little helpless in her heart, she also had to help Fang Ziyu round this lie. So he nodded and said, "Ziyu is still very hardworking, and he has kept the teachings of the second master in mind. ”
"Hmm. That's good. Ghost Bodhi nodded angrily, although he knew that Ghost Bodhi's age was probably over fifty, but that girlish face, it still looked a little strange to make such a look.
"By the way, what about that kid Meng Liang? Why didn't you see anyone?" Ghost Bodhi asked suddenly.
This problem is not abrupt enough to describe.
In the eyes of Xu Han and others, this problem can be called inexplicable.
Xu Han looked at Ghost Bodhi incredulously, and then asked cautiously, "Second Master... I know that the matter of Uncle Shi makes you very sad, but people have to look forward in the end, the dead are gone, and the living..."
Bang!
Before Xu Han's words were finished, a heavy chestnut hit his head.
"I gave birth to you a big-headed ghost, does my aunt and grandmother look like an old and confused person?" Ghost Bodhi seemed to see through Xu Han's thoughts, and asked with a calm face.
Xu Han didn't dare to provoke the other party, he said with a smile: "It's not like it, the second master has been like a day for a hundred years, and she has always been as beautiful as a flower." ”
"Hmph!" Ghost Bodhi, who was only satisfied with this, sat back on his Taishi chair again, but his brows furrowed: "So, you didn't see that kid?"
At this point, Xu Han also heard that Ghost Bodhi's words were not a joke, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't Brother Meng still guarding the tomb in the Sword Tomb? ”
Fang Ziyu on the side was also attracted by the conversation between Xu Han and Ghost Bodhi, and looked at Ghost Bodhi with wide eyes, obviously quite concerned about this matter.
Ghost Bodhi stood up and slowly walked in front of Xu Han, but her brows were furrowed deeper and deeper at this moment, she said: "I received the news almost a month ago, I found the traces of that kid in Longzhou, looking at the posture, he should have come to look for you, but then he seemed to have evaporated from the world, and disappeared, after all, he was the only disciple of that bastard, if he died like this, I would not be able to explain to him, so I came to ask you." ”
"Then where is he? Is something wrong?" Fang Ziyu, who heard this, suddenly had a panicked look on her face, and she hurriedly asked, her tone unconsciously a little bigger.
"Something's wrong?" It's just that her panic didn't get the response she deserved, Ghost Bodhi glanced at Fang Ziyu, squinted his eyes and said: "For example, today, there are not many people who can make that kid have an accident, and most of them are under the surveillance of Senluo Palace." ”
The information revealed in these words made Xu Han's face change, but before he could ask, Ghost Bodhi's voice sounded again: "Okay, you don't have to worry about that kid in Mengliang, I'll solve it, but..."
Speaking of this, the ghost Bodhi paused slightly, and his eyes fell on Xu Han's body again: "Little Xu Han, come out and send the second master." ”
The ghost Bodhi who said this obviously had something to say to Xu Han alone, although Xu Han, who came back to his senses, doubted him in his heart, but he did not doubt him, nodded and wanted to go out, but Ye Hongjian, who had been silent on the side, stood up with some concern, but was stopped by Xu Han's gaze.
And Fang Ziyu, who was worried about the safety of Meng Liang, also wanted to follow, but was shocked by Ghost Bodhi's eyes and didn't dare to step forward.
"Practice your exercises well, otherwise when something happens, you will have to sit idly by, as always. Ghost Bodhi said lightly, and after saying this, she led Xu Han out of the mansion.
......
It is almost the end of May, and summer is in full swing.
Most of the pedestrians walking on the streets of Henghuangcheng were in a hurry, and they didn't want to stay in the scorching sun for a half more moment, but Rao was like this, and the purple-eyed girl who was born like a porcelain doll still inevitably attracted the eyes of those pedestrians.
However, Ghost Bodhi didn't care about this, and after she pondered for a while, she suddenly turned her head to look at Xu Han beside her, and said with some distress: "Is it that children of your age are not willing to be obedient?"
Ghost Bodhi said these words in the tone of an old mother educating her disobedient son, although he knew that there was nothing wrong with Ghost Bodhi's words as between the two, but Xu Han still couldn't help but be stunned, not that he didn't like Ghost Bodhi's preaching, but he simply didn't know what Ghost Bodhi was referring to.
Of course, Ghost Bodhi's next words quickly solved the doubts in Xu Han's heart.
"Didn't I already ask Yuan Xiucheng to tell you, don't go against Senluo Dian!" Ghost Bodhi said very dissatisfied, and she sighed again: "Alas, none of you guys make me worry. ”
Xu Han reacted at this time, it turned out that when the yen was cultivated, he suddenly changed his temperament and mentioned to him that there was a ghost Bodhi behind him.
His heart was inevitably a little moved at that time, thinking about it, although the ghost Bodhi was a little weird, and he rarely gave Xu Han a good look, but in fact, he was always helping Xu Han.
"Second Master's Niang's intentions are naturally clear to Xu, but there are some things..."Xu Han said sincerely.
It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ghost Bodhi Shengsheng.
"Do you think that stopping them will stop Sen Luo Dian's plan? Liu Sheng, that Liu Dingdang, they have given Sen Luo Hall enough evidence to confirm their inference, everything you have done is meaningless, their plan is still being carried out step by step, and you have been placed on the opposite side of Sen Luo Hall because of your impulsiveness, do you know what it means?" Ghost Bodhi's voice was a little lower at this moment, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Xu Han's behavior in the Demon Suppression Tower, of course, behind this dissatisfaction was her worry about Xu Han's situation.
Xu Han couldn't refute Ghost Bodhi's words, he lowered his head and was silent for a while before he said: "Of course I know that this is not very useful, I just want to ask for a clear conscience..."
Such words were not approved by Ghost Bodhi, and the purple-eyed girl sighed at that time, and said with some annoyance: "I don't understand, why you people in Jianling are so virtuous... Either righteousness comes first, or it has a clear conscience..."
In the face of such harsh criticism, Xu Han could only smile bitterly again and again, and did not dare to say more than half a word, for fear of provoking the dissatisfaction of Ghost Bodhi.
Probably felt that Xu Han's attitude of admitting her mistake was quite satisfactory to her, and the tone of the ghost Bodhi quickly eased, and she said a little helplessly: "Fortunately, now the Great Xia Imperial Court and the Sword Pavilion are wary of the Senluo Palace, and it is difficult for the forces of the Senluo Palace to invade the Henghuang City in a short period of time, you can give me some peace these days, and the Senluo Palace, I will try to help you get it." ”
When Xu Han heard this, he dared to disobey, and hurriedly thanked him.
"Thank you, thank you for giving me less trouble in the future, it's the best thanks!" Ghost Bodhi said angrily.
"That's right. Just when Xu Han was embarrassed, Ghost Bodhi seemed to suddenly think of something, and she said again: "I don't know what you want to do when you sneak into the Sword Pavilion, but if the matter is done, let's leave quickly, Daxia has not been restless lately." ”
At this time, the expression on Ghost Bodhi's face became a little solemn, and Xu Han knew very well that it was obviously not a trivial matter to make Ghost Bodhi, who was a ten-hall Yama, reveal such an expression. He couldn't help but subconsciously ask, "What is the second master mother referring to?"
Of course, Ghost Bodhi could hear that Xu Han was pleasing her, and she glanced at Xu Han angrily, but she still responded in her mouth: "Haven't you heard of those powerhouses of the Great Yan Realm who have died mysteriously in various sects these days?"
"Of course I know. Xu Han nodded, Xiao Yu left Henghuang City to deal with this matter, but according to Nangong Jing, after all these days, Xiao Yu still didn't get anything. Thinking of this, Xu Han asked again: "Does Shi Niang know who is making trouble behind?"
"Do you think I'm a Da Luo Immortal?"
"In my heart, the second master is a fairy. Probably also figured out the way of Ghost Bodhi to eat soft and not hard, Xu Han naturally praised it without hesitation.
"This flamboyant tongue is beyond the reach of those wooden people in Jianling. Ghost Bodhi snorted coldly, although his face was still not good, but his tone was obviously a little softer.
Then she muttered slightly for a few breaths, and then said again: "Great Xia is much stronger than Great Zhou, but what do you think is such a strong compared to the difference in strength between the various sects on the rivers and lakes?"
When Xu Han heard this, he frowned, he thought about it carefully, if the national strength of Great Xia and the national strength of Great Zhou are like a cow, then the difference in strength between the two sects on the rivers and lakes can be regarded as immortal distance.
Xu Han had secretly thought more than once that if Great Xia could persuade half, or even a quarter, of the strength of the Jianghu Sect to go to the frontier together, I am afraid that Chen Erguo would have already been included in the territory of Great Xia.
"The Great Zhou Immortals are just the Si Blank of the Linglong Pavilion and the Yue Fuyao of the Heaven Dou City, and the Chen State is even more unbearable, only the Yan Qianqiu who is away from the mountain, on the other hand, there is almost one or more immortals in the three gates and twelve towns of the Great Xia Sect, and there are more than twenty immortals who are powerful, such a large number gap, do you think it is really the Great Xia people who are outstanding spirits, or the monks of Chen Erguo are stupid?" probably also saw what Xu Han was thinking, Ghost Bodhi's eyes narrowed at that time, and she stared at Xu Han and asked meaningfully.
This question is obviously not something that Xu Han can answer, he did feel surprised when he knew about the power of the Great Xia Jianghu before, but he didn't think about the reason, at this moment Ghost Bodhi asked, he couldn't give an answer, he could only say after thinking slightly: "Maybe it's because of the Demon Suppression Tower." ”
Xu Han guessed uncertainly, and it was natural that the answer was obviously wrong.
Ghost Bodhi shook his head after hearing this: "You have been to the Demon Suppression Tower, and you have also obtained a high-level origin demon power, although that thing is a good thing, but in the matter of ascending to the fairyland, this origin demon power can only be icing on the cake, but it is rarely charcoal." ”
Of course, Xu Han knew the meaning of Ghost Bodhi's words, he had carefully studied the origin demon power that the monks under the Great Xia Immortals were eager to follow, he could indeed strengthen the monks' perception of the Great Dao and improve the success rate when ascending to the Immortal Realm, but such a success rate was far from enough for an ordinary monk to ascend to the Immortal Realm, and naturally he could not explain why the number of Great Xia Immortals was so large.
He looked at Ghost Bodhi again and asked, "What does the second master mean is that there are so many immortals in Great Xia, and there is another secret behind it?"
Ghost Bodhi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know if it's a hidden secret, but Senluo Hall has been trying to infiltrate Great Xia since ten years ago, but the number of immortals in Great Xia is really terrifying, probably because of this, someone in Senluo Hall studied the situation of the Great Xia rivers and lakes, and then, they found a very interesting phenomenon." ”
Speaking of this, the ghost Bodhi paused deliberately, Xu Han knew that it was the second master who intended to sell Guanzi, so he naturally had to cooperate with the other party, and asked at that time: "What phenomenon?"
"The same cultivation, well, I mean the cultivation and combat power that are almost the same in the Great Yan Realm, but the Heavenly Tribulation that is difficult for the Great Zhou monks to bear, the Great Xia monks can easily spend it. ”
It seemed that such a statement was too abstract, and Ghost Bodhi said later: "You should have seen Si Blank in the process of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, although Si Blank has been invading the sword for many years, but his talent is not outstanding, at that time, a Yama who was in charge of collecting the people of the Great Zhou Rivers and Lakes once asserted that it would be difficult for Si Blank to die and it would be difficult to reach the realm of immortals, this Yama's eyes were vicious and the things he said were rarely miscalculated, but Si Blank had divine help at the last moment of fighting against the Heavenly Tribulation, and he actually did this..."
"I have made a detailed record in this Senluo Palace, and a few days ago, your sworn enemy, the head of the Chixiao Sect, had a similar situation when he had survived his third Heavenly Tribulation, and in the future, I am afraid that you have not yet known the news, that Luo Mo of Luoxia Valley also spent the Heavenly Tribulation and ascended to the Immortal Land the day before yesterday, and the previous situation also happened to him. ”
Saying this, Ghost Bodhi stopped her words again, this time it was not that she intended to sell Guanzi, but that she knew that so much information was poured into Xu Han's mind at once, and this young man was afraid that it would take some time to digest it.
And Xu Han really frowned after hearing these things, as far as he knew, the reason why Xie Minyu had been chasing them at the beginning was because of Mr. Wei's golden crow true fire, and he wanted to use it to fight against the third heavenly tribulation, with his unscrupulous posture, he obviously did not have much confidence to fight against this heavenly tribulation; 。 Probably because of this, this person acted timidly in the future, and Xu Han had also heard Xiao Yu assert that it was impossible for him to ascend to the fairyland with his temperament. But he also did this, and these various coincidences added together inevitably made Xu Han suspicious.
Furthermore, what Xu Han knew was that Si Bai seemed to have some connection with the Supreme True Person of the Taiyin Palace, at least the original motive for him to seize the Xingtian Sword and kill the First Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was derived from the proverbs of the Supreme True Man. At this moment, thinking of the strangeness of these immortals in Great Xia, a terrible conjecture could not avoid floating in Xu Han's mind at that time.
"I know what you're thinking, but you still have to think about the next level, who are the forces of those who have killed the powerhouses of the Great Xia Dayan Realm in recent days, and what are they doing for. Ghost Bodhi spoke again after about ten breaths.
Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be a little strange: "Isn't it true that Sen Luo's intelligence network doesn't have the slightest clue about that group of people?"
Ghost Bodhi shook his head a little helplessly: "This is what I'm worried about, that group of people seems to have appeared out of thin air, and they can't help but have no trace of them before, and then the Senluo Hall has the intention to investigate, but it always ends up without a problem, usually squatting for several days and finally only getting the corpse of a powerhouse in the Great Yan Realm, but there is no trace of the murderer." In my opinion, those who can do this are either really evil ghosts who have returned for revenge, or which Hidden World Sect has sent a group of immortal powerhouses. ”
Speaking of this, the ghost Bodhi seemed to remember something, and suddenly said again: "By the way, there is another point, I guess I don't even know the news of the Sword Pavilion." Those who died in the Great Yan Realm powerhouses of various sects found that almost all of them were attacked by the same sect in their subsequent investigations..."
Hearing this, Xu Han's brows furrowed even deeper, and he lowered his head and was silent.
Ghost Bodhi looked at him with such a look in his eyes, and seemed to feel that this topic was too heavy, so she simply changed to a relaxed tone and said: "In short, whether it is the revenge of evil ghosts or the rebellion of immortals, you can finish your own affairs and leave this place, after all, your life is important." ”
With that, she looked at the sky and prepared to leave.
But at this time, Xu Han, who bowed his head and was silent, suddenly spoke up.
"Maybe it's not a ghost, it's not an immortal..."
"Huh?"
At that time, the young man's eyes lit up with a gloomy light, and he stared at the ghost Bodhi, and said in a very strange tone, "It is the undead who have returned from hell..."
