Chapter 320: Changes in the Bodhi Realm (Part II)
Ghost Shura surged a little interest, waved his hand, and said, "Let him in!"
After a while, the Ugush appeared inside the sand cave.
Now he is not as miserable as when he failed to achieve the ghost body, he already has a complete ghost body condensed by pure yin energy, and his appearance is almost the same as before his death, the only difference is that he has a little more gloomy but unruly temperament, but after entering the hole, he still changed back to that flattering face.
When he saw the ghost Shura, the Ugush immediately knelt down.
"I've seen the princess!"
"Get up!" Ghost Shura looked at Ugush with interest, "Little baby, how are your recent harassment battles?"
As for the title of Ghost Shura, Ugush couldn't say whether he was used to it or didn't dare to resist, anyway, he laughed twice and replied: "Princess Hui, this month's battle is going well, every time we finish a stroke, we will transfer the place, and the human troops will not be able to catch our tail at all, and we will be played around." β
"Don't get too complacent, be careful next time you step into their trap. Ghost Qingshan suddenly said beside him.
Ugush was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "General Qingshan is too careful, your strategic policy has already scared the human race before, and now they are exactly the same as you estimated, they are completely in a state of conservative defense, and they don't dare to attack at all!"
Ghost Qingshan glanced at him twice and said no more.
For the conversation between the two, Ghost Shura didn't care much, but stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, where are my snacks?"
The Ugush chuckled twice, holding out a black mist-like sphere with both hands.
"Princess, this is the fruit of this month's hunt. β
Ghost Shura stretched out his hand and took a shot, and the black ball reached its hand, and then pinched it with two fingers, and immediately tore off a small piece from it.
What is amazing is that as soon as the black sphere is torn apart, it will emit a human wail, and on closer inspection, the black mist is not a simple gas at all, but is composed of human faces, which are clearly the souls of deceased humans!
Ghost Shura pinched a small ball of 'snacks' and stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly showed an expression of enjoyment, as if he had eaten some peerless delicacy.
"The human soul always has an indescribable taste, and it is indeed the best choice as a snack!"
The ghost Qingshan on the side bowed his head and was silent, while Wu Gushi stood in place and nodded his head again and again, with an indescribable flattery.
After tearing off another small 'snack' and swallowing it, Oni Shura put away the rest of it, and then looked at Ugush: "What, is there anything else going on with the little baby?"
Ugush's color stiffened slightly, then he laughed awkwardly twice, and said: "Princess, it's not easy for my subordinates to come back, I don't know if I can ...... with my friend."
"Do you want to see Little Phoenix?"
The Ugush nodded immediately.
Ghost Shura shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the hole on the side: "Okay, if you want to see you, go and find her, she is much more boring than you, you just see if you can make her interesting!"
"Thank you, princess!"
The Ugush was overjoyed, and immediately floated in the direction pointed by the ghost Shura.
Passing through a wall of sand and stones, the Ugush appeared in another sand cavern, which could be said to be empty, except for a reddish flame floating in the center, which seemed to be ready to be extinguished at any moment.
A distressed expression flashed across Ugush's face.
"I've come to see you. β
The red flame flashed, and a beautiful face was conjured, which was Lan Huang.
Lan Huang looked at the Ugush with a blank expression, then shifted his gaze, staring at the wall on the side as if to let go.
"You look a lot weaker...... By the way, here are some of the essences I hid this time, and if you eat them, you will definitely be able to recover a lot of energy!"
As he spoke, Ugush took out another cloud of black qi, several times smaller than the one he had given to the ghost Shura before, but it looked just as pure.
Lan Huang glanced at the black qi, and a look of disgust immediately appeared in his eyes.
"Looks like you've completely given up who you are. β
Wu Gushi was stunned for a moment, and then forced a smile: "Huang, what are you talking about, why can't I understand ......?"
"I said you're not human anymore!"
The cold words made Ugush speechless for a moment, and he could only stand in place with the black qi in his hands, at a loss.
"For the past two months, you've been following that ghost princess as her dog, and you've told me that this will save our lives, and maybe you can exchange it for strength to break the ban in our body. You did get your power, but where did your power come from, and do you still have to lie?"
"I ...... This is before the Ghost Shura Princess it ......"
"No more excuses, I know where your power comes from, it's all transformed by absorbing human souls, isn't it?"
The Ugush opened his mouth, but was completely speechless.
Lan Huang gave him a disappointed look, then simply looked away.
"Sacrificing your kindred in exchange for power, do you know how pathetic you are now?"
"Sad?" Ugush's face was cloudy, and he suddenly interrupted Lan Huang: "Where am I sad? It's just the souls of thousands of people, I eat it, what's the big deal!"
Lan Huang frowned: "Have you forgotten your ...... when you were alive?"
"What was my life, I was already dead!" The roar of the Ugush continued to echo in the sand cave: "What human, what kindred, I am no longer human, but an evil demon who resents all humans!
Lan Huang looked at the hideous and ugly face, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked away and said a word coldly.
"Then why did you save me?"
The sand cave fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Lan Huang spoke again: "According to you, I am not actually a human being now, but I can't do everything you do anyway. β
"That's right, I also hate, hate that kid named Qiao Ximing, hate the Wind Sage and his heirs, but for me, the concept of 'I am human' has never changed in my heart. β
Ugush clenched his fists and hung his head.
The red flames floated, and the beautiful face of the firelight moved closer to the Ugush, illuminating his gray shell less cold than before.
"Ugush, I know you have a hatred in your heart, you hate the upper echelons of the Empire, you have put you in a desperate situation of fleeing, and this hatred continues when you are killed, making you feel that you hate all humans, and even feel that you are no longer a member of the human race...... But that's not really you!"
"Heh......" Ugush forced a laugh twice: "If this is not the real me, then what is?"
"You're still alone!"
Lan Huang's tone was categorical, making Ugush can't help but raise his head.
"When you died, hatred occupied all your mind, so that you could not see your true nature, but I can see very clearly that your essence is still human!"
"I'm not ......"
"You're in love with me, aren't you?"
Ugush's eyes widened for a moment, staring at the smile that suddenly appeared in front of him.
- Window paper, broken!
Lan Huang was right, Ugush was indeed in love with her.
The Ugush, who had turned into a resentful spirit, was once desperate, and his heart was full of dark emotions, but when the ghost body failed to achieve the ghost body in the ruins of Xinfan, in order to survive in Qiao Ximing's hands, he was forced to rein in all the dark sides.
And at that time, Lan Huang died.
Although Lan Huang died, his soul was reunited because of the exercises, and it was in a state between life and death, and it was this state that attracted Ugush, which made him choose to swallow Lan Huang's spirit in one gulp.
But it didn't take long for Bennord to discover the anomaly in his abdomen, and before he could digest the spirit of the blue phoenix, he took it out and imprisoned it.
It was during that time that the feeling of the Ugush for the Orchid Phoenix changed, at first it was just a primitive appetite, but in the end it evolved into a feeling, and I don't know when the Ugush no longer wanted to leave the Orchid Phoenix, but always accompanied by his side.
Of course, Lan Huang knew the changes in Ugush, but even if he was a man and a woman, he was still not so easily tempted by an existence like Ugush after death, but for various reasons, they couldn't be separated, until they met the princess of the ghost clan.
"You're in love with me, that's the biggest proof that you're still human!This proves that you're not a pure ghost!" Lan Huang decided to take a breath: "So don't do those things anymore, even if it's not for yourself...... For my sake, don't murder more humans, okay?"
Ugush's hand fell.
β...... Me, or am I?"
"Yes, as long as your heart is still human, you will not change!"
His expression gradually slowed down, and after a moment he nodded: "I promise you...... For you. β
Lan Huang was slightly stunned, and then showed a relieved expression.
But the Ugush quickly raised the black qi in his hand again.
"But you better eat this, after all, you haven't absorbed energy for a long time, and if you continue like this, you will ......"
"It's okay!" Lan Huang shook his head: "I'll be fine!"
The Ughush paused.
Lan Huang's expression became serious: "That ghost Shura, it grabbed us and it seemed like it was just treating us as toys, but my intuition told me that its purpose was not so simple. I seem to have something in me that it needs and that it's not going to make me die until it gets it!"
"But ......"
"Don't think about it so much!" Lan Huang interrupted the Ugush, "Time is running out, if that Parasitic Brute really completes its deal with the Ghost Clan, then the empire will be in chaos next." Until then, you have to get stronger so that we have a chance to break free from the control of the Oni Shura!"
"Stronger......" Ugush hesitated.
"Don't absorb the souls of human beings anymore!" Lan Huang glared at him: "The growth of the ghost body is actually very simpleβgo and devour other ghost clans!"
