Chapter 70: The Vampire's Curse, the Zombie's Passage, and the Ghost Master 3

The Pill of Soul Refining, recently on Ghost Island, these four words are very sensitive, and no one (ghost) even talks about this topic in public, because they will be thrown into prison as an "inner ghost". Not in public, it's better not to be in front of the ghost master, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable!
From this, it can be seen how angry the ghost master was when he heard these four words, but if it wasn't for Fairy Ling who spoke, I'm afraid his head would have fallen to the ground!
actually came to ask her for Dan, she didn't even show anyone a look!
The ghost master laughed too much, and then sneered, "Are you here to ask for Dan, or do you want to die?"
"I know that this pill has taken you a year of hard work...... "Fairy Ling said, "For the sake of that fang, please save her!"
The Soul Refining Pill is made into pills by some herbs that have an effect on the soul and are generated on the top of hell (for example, Soul Ascension Dragon Grass, White Spirit Life Flower, etc.), put into the alchemy furnace, and constantly use ghost fire (similar to ghost fire, but when the fire is cold, it can burn) to burn and edify with ghost qi (ghost qi), after three hundred and sixty-five days of scorching day and night, it can be completed! The alchemist is indescribably hungry for blood and sweat, and consumes a lot of soul energy-yes, the ghost master is also soul--yes, the ghost master is also soul-a-yes, the ghost master is also soul-a-yes, the ghost master is also soul-a-yes, the ghost master is also soul-a-yes!
She is deep and wrinkled, and in addition to the age cause, there is also excessive fatigue!
The ghost master didn't flatly refuse, this was not the first soul refining pill she had refined, but she still needed to think about it, because it was Fairy Ling's request, and besides, she still loved something about the boy who wore fangs.
She refining the Soul Pill, of course, not to let others fight to the death, nor to make money or other purposes, but to improve her soul and skills, for example, to put her "Seventy-two Souls Chasing the Wind" at the nineteenth level -- "Ninety-one Souls Chasing the Wind"! In this way, it is very difficult to find a few more people in the rivers and lakes who are her opponents! Who can resist such a temptation?
But she's still thinking about it.
"If you are willing to hand over the Soul Refining Pill, I will hand over a secret-" Wu Liang smiled, "A secret related to the life and death of Ghost Island!"
"Oh~~~" The ghost master sneered, "It turns out that you have prepared the trading conditions early in the morning......"
Speaking of the terms of the deal, Amu remembered the gift he had brought, which was a small wooden box, about the size of a book and as thick as a few books, which he wrapped in strips of cloth and tied around his waist.
Amu didn't wait for Wu Liang to say in detail, so he preemptively said: "Someone asked me to hand you something, saying that if you see it, you will definitely give us the Soul Refining Pill!"
The ghost master said, "What is it?"
"It's around my waist, see for yourself. โ
Xiao Wei ripped off the wooden box and handed it to the ghost master.
The ghost master opened it too carefully, first stunned, then the wrinkles moved, rippling like ripples, and the color of surprise also rippled out like ripples, and her hands trembled so much that she almost dropped the box on the ground! Then she burst into tears, as if immersed in the memory of the box, and for a moment, she forgot about the people around her, and said to herself, "It's you......"
Then she suddenly woke up like a nightmare, and the green eyes glared at Amu angrily and said, "He...... Where is he?!" The aggressive* person with the same tone and gaze was like throwing Amu into the sea of fire!
Amu didn't answer directly, but smiled and said, "I'll tell you, can you get the Soul Refining Pill?"
"If you don't say it, I'll kill you!" she roared, and the ghost fire in the hall suddenly soared, as if it was her accompaniment!
Amu originally thought that the ghost master might have a certain friendship with the soul breaker, and they might be friends, but judging from the current ear situation, they are more like enemies!
Amu didn't answer directly, and said, "What are you looking for him?"
"Kill him!"
"Why?"
"It's none of your business!"
Amu sneered: "If you don't say it, I can guess it - because you hate him!"
"Nonsense!" the ghost master was so angry that her face turned blue - this was the light of the green fire in her eyes, but in fact, her face was as white as death!
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Amu was fearless and confident, "I know what's in the box, and I can guess your relationship!"
What's in the box? It's an ornament -- a white turban with a peony flower embroidered on it. This is obviously a soul-breaking thing, because he is a peony man! But this piece was by no means embroidered by himself -- a demon-like figure like him in those days was definitely not the material for needlework, so it must have been given by someone else, and it was given by a woman! There would only be two kinds of women who needle-embroidered for him: his mother or his lover. And now that Soul Breaker has returned the turban to the ghost master, then she is his lover!
Amu had seen the headscarf beforehand, and had seen the current situation, so of course he could guess a rough idea! And he could also see that there must be an unforgettable love story between them, otherwise she wouldn't hate him so much! Because of love, hate, the deeper she loved, the more she hated him, she hated him so much, hated him to the point of killing him, and that love was also to the point of death!
Even a fool can see this kind of talk!
The ghost master is too silent, that is, he admits it.
What is their relationship?
More than thirty or forty years ago, they were brother and sister, a pair of childhood sweethearts, and that was what happened before he left the rivers and lakes!
Later, when the killer left the rivers and lakes for his ideals, their love turned into hatred, and one hatred lasted for thirty or forty years, and even after she heard the news of his death, this hatred never stopped, and it went deep into the bone marrow!
She grabbed the turban, gritted her teeth, the tears that flowed from her eyes quickly evaporated by the fire, and she threw the turban into the furnace - just as if she had thrown him into it!
However, when the turban was half burned, she desperately put her hand into the coals, took out the only remaining burnt cloth with a peony pattern, and held it tightly in her handโshe was in pain, her heart was broken, and the feelings that had been suppressed for so many years finally rushed to her throat!
Originally, she was still a fierce ghost queen, but now she is just a poor old woman! No matter how strong a woman is, she has her own weaknesses, and love is the most terrible weakness, and everyone has to bow their heads in front of it!
Love is not terrible, the terrible thing is that people who take it too seriously or inappropriately will eventually lose at its feet!
Seeing such an old woman crying bitterly, who doesn't want to comfort her? But no one goes, and neither will Fairy Ling, because comfort makes her even more sad, what she needs is to cry out the feelings in her heart!
But Amu stood up and spoke: "He's in the dashing forest. โ
Whether it is love or hate, they need to solve it themselves, and she has the right to know where he is, because this woman has become old and full of hatred for love! Whether she gives the Soul Refining Pill or not, Amu feels that she should have the right to know.
The ghost master stopped crying and became expressionless, and then said coldly, "Even if you tell me his whereabouts, I won't give you the Soul Refining Pill!"
"I know that. โ
"And what do you say?"
"I think even if you don't want to see him, he's probably going to want to see your ......"
"Nonsense!" roared the Ghost Master, "since he is hiding in the Dashing Forest and knows my whereabouts, why hasn't he come to me for so many years?"
Maybe it's because he feels guilty about this love, maybe he doesn't want to have grudges anymore, maybe he's too busy with work...... I can't think of a person, especially a former lover, and I will always come up with a thousand reasons.
Amu said, "Why don't you ask him?"
The ghost master was too silent, quietly looking at the charred cloth.
"Even if you don't give the Soul Refining Pill, I still have to tell you a secret-" At this time, Wu Liang had something to say, "This is also an issue that you are very concerned about, because it is related to the life and death of the entire Ghost Island!"
"What's the secret?"
"The Evil Ghost Group and the Sea Ghost Group said that they will take Ghost Island tomorrow......"
"I know that!" she sneered, "and I'm going to send them all to hell tomorrow!"
Wu Liang said: "But they got a very terrible weapon, this weapon is enough to destroy the entire ghost island!"
The ghost master was too skeptical and sneered, "What weapon?"
Wu Liang smiled: "Can you untie us and talk about it?"
A few ghostly fires swept by, burning the ropes off their bodies.
Wu Liang moved his bones, stroked his beard and smiled: "I don't know if you have noticed that there is a very eye-catching thing on their ship recently?"
"Slings?" sneered the Ghost Master, "this is what you call a 'terrible weapon'?"
Although the catapult is also powerful, it is not enough to destroy the entire ghost island, and the same is true for the firethrower.
"This is the secondary part of the main weapon, the main one is the 'stone'-"
"Oh?"
Wu Liang said mysteriously: "I don't know if you have ever heard of such a thing as a 'soul sucking stone'?"
The ghost master said: "It is a rare and strange stone that can suck people's souls, black, as long as people get close to it, it won't take long, for example, if you sleep on it, the soul will be sucked away and die......"
She was an expert in this matter, and no one knew the soul better than she did.
Wu Liang nodded and said: "But recently I discovered something similar to the Soul Sucking Stone, people temporarily define it as the 'Soul Vortex Magic Stone', this momentum can not only suck away people's souls, but also absorb soul qi and ghost energy, and the adsorption capacity is super strong, at least ten times more than the soul sucking stone!"
The ghost master was so frightened that the wrinkles on his face were like twisting clothes, and a rare cold sweat appeared!
Wu Liang continued: "Just imagine, if you throw a large number of 'Soul Vortex Magic Stones' into Ghost Island......
If these stones fly to the island, the destruction will be devastating: the ghost qi on the ghost island will be sucked away, which is equivalent to the "air" required by humans and many creatures, and once it is gone, then many ghost residents on the island will be weakened and invaded by all kinds of diseases even if they do not "suffocate" to death immediately...... It's such a nightmare that you can't even think about it!
Of course, the ghost master was frightened, but quickly regained his composure and said, "Since these stones can absorb souls, won't they be sucked out of souls when they collect them?!"
She found a loophole in this problem and looked at Wu Liang with the same eyes as a liar.
Wu Liang said: "This kind of stone also has a characteristic, that is, it is very afraid of 'blood salt (a blood-colored salt, common in the Demon Sea, in addition to having seasoning, it also has the function of micro-replenishing blood)', as long as it is wrapped in blood salt, it is no different from ordinary stones......
The ghost master sighed, but there was still doubt in his eyes: "Since this is the great secret between the sea ghost group and the evil ghost group, how do you know about it?"
Wu Liang told him about the past, and after getting Fairy Ling's proof, the ghost master had to believe it.
"What should I do then?" Xiao Wei was the first to get anxious, going around in circles, howling all the way.
"Now that we know its characteristics, and know their battle plan, it shouldn't be a problem to get along with a set of contingency plans, we still have time......" The ghost master seemed a lot calmer, if this secret was not fake.
"So...... The matter of the Soul Refining Pill ......" Amu finally spoke, because this thing is very important, if he can't get it again, he will use force, even if he dies, he has no fear!
Didn't the Soul Break give him a clever idea, and that thing might be useful now...... This is bullshit, it's just a blank piece of paper! When Amu peeked at the gift, he also took a look at this "clever plan" by the way. He guessed that the soul was just trying to calm them down, to give them hope, so that they would have the courage to complete the task!
"Even if you tell me two very important secrets, I won't give you the Soul Refining Pill!" Ghost Master's tone became much softer, and then he sighed, "But now I'm going to change my mind......"
The value of these two secrets is the lives of thousands of residents of Ghost Island, and the Soul Refining Pill is just one life, who wouldn't do such a deal!
Many people and skeletons cheered, not only to get the Soul Refining Pill, but also to rejoice that an old stubborn like the Ghost Master had opened his mind!
Amujin had the urge to jump over and kiss the old woman a few times, but he didn't, just held out a hand - his meaning was obvious, but when a child reaches out to you, you know that he wants candy - he is asking her for something!
The ghost master said: "I can't give it now!"
"Why?"
"Because the Soul Refining Pill has not yet been refined!"
