Chapter 21: Immortality

Lin Han heard Bi'er's shout and rushed directly to the attic.

As soon as he reached the top of the stairs, he collided with a soft body.

It was Bi'er, who was wearing pajamas and looked terrified.

"Childe, inside the house...... There's a ghost in the house!"

Seeing that it was Lin Han, Bi'er plunged into his arms, her delicate body trembling.

"Don't be afraid, you're waiting for me here. ”

Lin Han patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, then took a deep breath and walked towards the attic step by step.

Of course he didn't believe in any evil ghosts, after all, this place was still the yang world, and if there was really something strange and chaotic, it could only be some kind of demon beast that cultivated into a human form.

Thinking of this, he not only pressed the Purgatory Blood Thorn in the sleeve of his left wrist......

No matter what kind of monster you are, being sudden, this thing at close range, directly penetrates the cold, dies, and there is no possibility of survival!

With his heart set in his mind, he walked to the door, and saw the candle flame flickering in the room, and a vague silhouette of a human figure was indeed printed on the window paper......

To enter, or not to enter

A crucial choice lay ahead of him.

Looking at the motionless silhouette inside, Lin Han's scalp was a little numb, and his palms were oozing sweat, sometimes, what people were most afraid of was not the threat that was close to the light, but the unknown, the horror hidden in the darkness.

"That's it, if it's really a demon beast, Bi'er has no martial arts, and it is impossible for her to run out alive, but ...... If it's not a monster, what would it be?"

After a while, driven by strong curiosity, he gritted his teeth and pushed the door open.

Squeak.

The door slowly opened, and I was greeted by ......

Alone!

No, a corpse, to be exact, and a dead one......

Mummy.

The dried corpse in front of him was sleeping on the floor, his whole body was blue-black, wearing a yellowed robe, and the flesh on his face had long been routed, revealing his hideous and hollow facial features.

Lin Han was a medical student in his previous life, and he had come into contact with fresh corpses with complete internal organs, so he naturally had no feelings for this kind of dried corpse that had decomposed beyond recognition.

What really scares him is something else......

This room was cleaned by Bi'er with his own eyes, and the body did not appear at that time, but it appeared out of thin air at night, could it be that someone was manipulating me?

Lin Xiong?

Lin Han frowned, this was the first possibility he thought of.

At this moment, he suddenly found that the palm of the dried corpse was firmly holding a scroll similar to a picture scroll.

He let out a "huh", squatted down, pulled out the scroll from the hand of the dry corpse, spread it out and looked at it, and the whole person was shocked!

The scrolls are filled with dense inscriptions that can only be understood by a forger, and there are lifelike patterns next to them, which at a glance seem to record the life of a certain person, from childhood to old age......

Lin Hanqiang suppressed the shock in his heart, looked down word by word, and as he read deeper, his brows gradually relaxed, his eyes changed from shock to excitement, and finally reduced to emotion.

He finally knew the identity of the dried corpse.

It is the owner of this mansion four hundred years ago, the seven-star forger, Huang Zongyan!

"Childe, Childe, are you okay?"

Bi'er's voice came from outside the door, Lin Han knew that she was worried about her safety, and said loudly:

"It's okay, come in. ”

Bi'er tiptoed in, and as soon as she entered the door, she found Lin Han squatting next to a corpse, and suddenly "ah" and screamed!

"Don't be afraid, it's just a soulless corpse. ”

Lin Han shook his head and said.

"But Childe, how can there be such a thing here......"

The corners of Bi'er's mouth trembled, and she hid behind Lin Han with palpitations.

"Don't say that, his name is Huang Zongyan, and he can be regarded as a senior worthy of admiration. ”

Lin Han sighed, pointed to the scroll in his hand, and said, "This has his self-reported life, including the cause of death, and it is not by chance that his body appeared here. ”

"Childe, I don't understand it......" Bi'er looked at the crooked words, her face full of confusion.

"Of course you can't understand it, the reason why this Master Huang wrote with an inscription is specifically for the descendants of the forging master. ”

After speaking, Lin Han looked at the dried corpse on the ground with emotion:

"This is a rough record of his history, and the process in the middle will not be detailed, probably when he was eight years old, he met a forging master with a strange poison in his body, and the master passed away after teaching him the forging method for a weekβ€”β€”"

"And after he buried his teacher, he used the forging book left by the latter, and soon became the most famous forging master in Cangzhou, and after a few years, he was famous all over the world, and was summoned by the emperor to become the royal forging master, opening a life of glory and wealth......

"The next plot is particularly interesting. ”

Lin Han paused, and then said: "In his later years, Huang Zongyan was unwilling to become a tool for secular hegemony between empires, and he was determined to break through the boundaries and pursue the ultimate chapter of the forging treasure book left to him by his teacher, which was also the highest realm that no forging master had ever reachedβ€”the realm of Kagura. ”

"Kagura, what is that?" Belle muttered curiously.

Lin Han sighed, looked at the eternal night sky outside the window, and muttered:

"Immortality. ”

"Isn't that something that only monks can do!?"

Bi'er's ice-blue eyes widened, and her heart was even more puzzled. In her cognition, the ability to transcend the limits of human beings is simply the privilege of those high-ranking monks, and among mortals, even the legendary peerless martial artists, they have never heard of anyone who can live forever.

"Yes, born as a human being, even if you are the emperor and the emperor, what about the glory of the first life? When the longevity is exhausted, all you want is the word longevity. ”

Lin Han shook his head with emotion and continued: "

At that time, Huang Zongyan was in his sixties, famous in the world, and had no desires, so he devoted all his thoughts to the realm of enlightenment and divine pleasure, and finally, he found the way to become an immortal belonging to the forging masterβ€”β€”"

"It's just that the forging master is not a monk after all, and no matter how deep the power of the instrument soul in his body is, he can't complete the physical transformation, so he thought of using the instrument, the Nine Rank Holy Weapon, the Holy Spirit Feather Cloak.

"As stated in the illustrated book he found, this holy weapon was originally tailor-made for monks, and it has powerful spiritual power for restoration, but after the forger wears it, part of the soul power in his body will slowly turn into a powerful aura comparable to that of a Jindan monk!"

"However, mortal bodies can't condense these spiritual qi after all, so Huang Zongyan found a Yuanying Great Cultivator to help him extract a wisp of essence that has both soul power and spiritual power, and sealed it in the Holy Spirit Feather Coat, intending to use the restoration function of the holy weapon to grow a new spirit body!"

"That son, he'...... Has this Master Huang succeeded?"

Bi'er was fascinated by what she heard, blinking her eyes, and couldn't help asking.

"I don't know about this, it doesn't explain it, but if he wants to be alive, he should be almost five hundred years old......" Lin Han smiled bitterly and said, "However, according to what the scroll says, that Yuanying Monk helped him seal his physical body in the enchantment in the attic, in case he fails, he can also get his physical body back." ”

"And now that four hundred years have passed, the seals have failed, and the physical body has escaped to the present world, decaying like this, even if he fails, it is useless to come back. ”

"People, it's good to be ambitious, but I always think so..... In this life, you can live a beautiful life, and you can be looked up to by all generations, why do you want such a long life...... Alas, I can't guess. ”

"Well, we've met him, let's take him out and bury him. ”

After speaking, Lin Han sighed, tore down the silk curtain behind him, wrapped the body, and dragged him out of the door.

"Childe, look! there's something!"

At this time, Bi'er suddenly screamed softly.

Lin Han was stunned for a moment, and saw that on the path where the corpse had moved, a thin and thick, yellowed booklet fell out.

He took a closer look, only to see that the thick one was marked "Cangzhou Secret Treasure Atlas", and the other one had a ...... on the cover

Hallows: The Cloak of the Spirit!
