Chapter 8: A Living Ghost, a Living Legend
Many times, a person will always be unconsciously tired in the state of work, this is caused by their own hard work, so there are always some excuses to let themselves lie down and sleep for a while, and feel the pleasure of being busy. Naturally, ghost species don't need to sleep, but their habits make them stubbornly execute, such as a sloppy ghost species lying in front of Xu Xiao.
The earth-shattering purr was simply an invisible irony for Xu Xiao, Xu Xiao looked at the arrogant lazy ghost species, but did not immediately shout as usual. He crouched beside the ghost seed and held out a finger towards the ghost's bare arm.
"I usually keep watching, I really want to try the ghost seed, is it different from the appearance that looks illusory?" Xu Xiao's fingers slowly pressed on the ghost seed's body, and he instantly felt a cold tactile feedback. "I feel like it's going to break if I poke it!" Just when Xu Xiao couldn't hold back and wanted to increase his strength to see if it would break, the ghost turned his head to look at Xu Xiao faintly.
"Xu boy, do you have any thoughts about my bad old man?" The ghost looked sloppy, but his voice was as neutral and powerful as Hong Zhong, that is, what he said made Xu Xiao a little embarrassed.
"Master Yang, you don't need to sleep, why are you still lazy, isn't it that I can't complete the task!" Xu Xiao quickly changed the topic, covering up his caution and curiosity.
"Hey, how many years has your Master Yang lived, how many years have you died, but I am not ready to change my sleeping habits, old man, my only perception of the world is the moment I wake up." 'The scruffy ghost caste Yang, an old researcher at the base, died in a scientific research accident, and he dedicated his life and death to the cause here, and his life is simply a living history. He came from a well-to-do Manchu-Han family and was fortunate enough to be taught by an English priest. When he was young, his father died because of some small conspiracy, and his mother left him and returned to his Manchu family. The disappearance of his family and relatives allowed him to mature early, and then he went to Europe with the priest to further his studies. He soon entered the University of Cambridge in England and participated in the research and development of advanced technology at that time, and then the banditry of the Eight-Nation Coalition in the motherland made him quickly realize the weakness of the motherland. He abandoned his family property in England and resolutely returned to his homeland, ready to use his knowledge to feed his homeland, but the rulers at that time did not think that a person who had returned from overseas [advanced knowledge] was of any use, and only regarded him as a qualified translator and assigned to negotiate with the invaders.
In the environment at that time, not to mention Old Man Yang, even countless Old Man Yang could not reverse the attitude of the backward and incompetent government. During the long negotiations, he witnessed his homeland sign one humiliating treaty after another, and gradually became discouraged, and finally left his country again two years after returning to China, returned to Cambridge University, accepted a new scientific research goal, and then fell silent in the laboratory, no longer caring about most of the world. At that time, his research project was the virtual energy, that is, the predecessor of the demonic power, and he did not know the details of this power. It wasn't until Germany started the war that Old Man Yang left the laboratory and moved to a British colony in Canada.
Once again, he learned that the motherland had established a new order in the revolution of people with lofty ideals, and Old Man Yang wanted to go back again, but was rejected by the British customs. In protest, Mr. Yang refused to participate in the experiment, and most of the instructors and scientists in the laboratory had been with Mr. Yang for a long time, so they all refused to continue the experiment. The authorities had no choice but to transfer most of the people to other research laboratories, and after confiscating all of Old Man Yang's assets and the only remaining luggage, he was stuffed into a cargo ship bound for the British colonies in India.
After arriving at the Indian dock, the old man Yang was already dying, and the constitution of the civilian staff who was already weak resisted the pain of the long period of living on the sea. It was in the British Broken Clinic that a kind local brought him an equally kind local doctor. Under Old Man Yang's suspicious gaze, the doctor quickly ground some brilliantly colored stones into powder, concocted a bowl of strangely colored decoction, and let him pour it. At dawn the next day, Old Man Yang got into the carriage of the caravan bound for the border between the motherland and India.
After a long period of 3 months, the old man Yang arrived in the capital of the new regime at that time, where he was warmly welcomed. Under the organization of national leaders, a series of professional courses have been established, and Old Man Yang carefully teaches these future talents. It's just that the good is always short-lived, and then a series of wars broke out, this emerging regime was broken up again, and Old Man Yang's education plan was shattered again, for various reasons, after he was exiled to the Soviet Union, a big red country at the time, he met the young people of the motherland who studied there, and under the recommendation of the students, Old Man Yang was invited to enter the scientific research room under the Soviet Academy of Sciences, while researching, while teaching those young people. Because of the increasing age, Old Man Yang was afraid that his desire to serve the country would become a phantom, so he taught those students the various professional theories and knowledge he was best at, for fear that he would never have the opportunity to teach them again.
After the outbreak of the separatist war in the motherland, there were many warlords, and the old man Yang at that time left the motherland without seeing the existence of demons. In the two years that he went to the Soviet Union, demons were rampant and invaded the chaotic Central Plains. Many of the rising petty warlords have become monster puppets, constantly provoking wars and consuming the population, it seems that you fight me and I fight you for territory with each other, and in the end it is the monsters who are cheaper, who enjoy a gluttonous feast on the battlefield. The [All-Seeing Eye] of Europe discovered the problem at the first time, but it took advantage of the fire to plunder the few fortunes of the motherland.
Chaos followed chaos, until a Taoist master discovered the reincarnated giant demon [War Colossus], he knew the source of the chaos in the world, and then because of his strength, he had to take tragic measures, sacrificing a large number of Taoist disciples to suppress the giant demon for a short time. The Central Plains slowly regained its unity, and the wounds left by the war slowly healed. There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and after the demon aliens learned of the suppression of the giant demons, they frantically slaughtered the few remaining Taoist personnel and released the [War Colossus]. In the end, the motherland, which had just breathed a sigh of relief, fell into the quagmire of war again.
It was not until the first batch of patriots with dreams returned to China and reaped great revolutionary results that they finally got in touch with the world. After paying a certain price, the [All-Seeing Eye] struck and killed the reincarnated giant demon [War Colossus], but deliberately left behind the influence of the giant demonic aura. The new motherland, which grew up in blood and fire, was buried with a thorn in the heart.
