CHAPTER XXIII
After these heads sank to the bottom again, I looked back at Lin Feng and said loudly, "See, there is really something." ”
Lin Feng nodded seriously, "Well, I saw it." The tone was very flat, not at all surprised.
I finally reacted when I saw Lin Feng's mediocre reaction, and I was deceived by him, "Okay, you, deliberately tricked me." I walked up to him with my hands on my hips.
"I'm calling it, gentleman's revenge, without further ado." Lin Feng's tone was provocative.
I didn't want to pay attention to him, turned around and left, but was pulled by him, "You don't want to know what is in the water." ”
I slapped his hand away, looked at him condescendingly, and said in a disdainful tone, "Your Lin family, the most famous and terrifying, isn't it a ghost slave?" ”
"That's right." Lin Feng agreed.
I had nothing to say, so I continued to turn my head and walk, but as soon as I walked out, I was stopped by him, "You don't want to know how to pass the corner tower in the middle." ”
I continued to slap his hand away and made a gesture to shut up, warning him, "It's not interesting to say it, I'm going to go in on my own, it's late, I'm going back." After saying that, he left without looking back.
After lunch the next day, I came to the corner tower again, the vision at night is always limited, so I plan to try again during the day, originally yesterday Lin Feng said to take me around, but they are going to go out on a mission today, just have nothing to do, I want to come here to try my luck again, I met Yang Fei on the way, she heard that I wanted to go to the corner tower in the middle of the lake, gave me a look of self-determination and left.
However, as it turned out, I was really overwhelmed, and as I did last night, no matter which path I chose, I couldn't get to the middle of the lake, so I stood on the shore and looked at the bottom of the water, "What does the day look like?" So he picked up the stones under his feet and threw them down, but those heads came out again, this time I saw it more clearly, the heads under the water were all female corpses, and the body exuded heavy black gas, which could not be dispersed under the exposure of the sun, this is no longer a simple ghost slave, before becoming a ghost slave, it was an evil spirit with a strong resentment, and such an evil spirit could be trained into a ghost slave, this Lin family is definitely not simple, what is it, it needs so many ghost slaves to guard?
After countless failures, I chose to settle for the second, went to the outer corner tower, first check the information, and try it tomorrow, this corner tower is divided into three floors, the first floor is an ordinary Taoist introduction book, I flipped through a few books to see, I felt that it was not interesting to go up to the second floor, the books on the second floor were even more boring, talking about the meaning of the runes, so I walked to the third floor, there were very few books on the third floor, only one corner was placed, and the rest of the places were empty, I picked up a book from the bookshelf and opened it to see, "The origin of the evil spirit's resentment, It is divided into life grudge and death grudge, life grudge is the injustice and injustice encountered before death, this is fate, death grudge is trampled by people after death, this is man-made, if life and death grudge are encountered together, it can give birth to the most powerful resentful spirit, resentful spirit is evil, raised by women's blood, the two are compatible, that is, ghost slaves. "I put the book back in its place, and I couldn't calm down for a long time, it turned out that the Lin family's ghost slave refining was even more terrible than what my grandfather told me.
In the middle of the night, I came out of the corner tower, took a look at the center of the lake, and swore in my heart that I would definitely think of a way to liberate them, and when I returned home, I didn't have the heart to eat dinner, so I went back to my room and lay down, but I couldn't sleep, as long as I closed my eyes, I could see their eyes, and they stared at me like that.
After Lin Feng came back, he heard that I hadn't eaten, so he ordered the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles and bring it to my room in person, "It's just that it failed again, so I won't even eat rice." ”
I looked at Lin Feng, I was in a complicated mood, and swallowed the words that came to my mouth, Lin Feng saw me like this, and didn't speak, just sat aside and looked at me silently, I was stared at uncomfortably, so I just lay down and covered my head with the quilt.
Lin Feng tore the quilt away, looking worried, "What's wrong with you?" ”
I got up from the bed and looked at Lin Feng seriously, "Do you know how your Lin family's ghost slave came from?" ”
When Lin Feng heard me say this, he suddenly realized, "You went to the corner tower?" In fact, since grandpa took charge of the house, the Lin family has not refined ghost slaves anymore, and those under the heart of the lake have been left before, and we have not found a way to get rid of our grievances, and we can't go beyond it, so we have kept it. “
"Then you ...... last time" I wondered in my heart, obviously I still wanted to refine Wang Xue before.
"I didn't say from beginning to end that I captured her to refine the ghost slave, you misunderstood." Lin Feng shrugged.
"Then you're still betting with me." I didn't speak in a bad tone.
"Isn't that trying to test your abilities?" Lin Feng continued to explain, "Is it okay to eat now?" ”
Thinking about it, this is indeed the case, I got up and walked to the sofa, picked up the chopsticks and ate the noodles, the time was a little long, the soup was almost gone, Lin Feng saw that I was eating so fast, told me to eat slowly, and poured me a glass of water, I was eating and suddenly thought of a question, raised my head to look at Lin Feng, and said suspiciously: "Since you don't refine, why do you keep the book?" ”
"Because this book is just the last one, it's okay if someone reads it." Lin Feng reluctantly continued to explain.
"Oh." I lowered my head and continued to eat noodles, and after two bites, I asked, "What about the next one, have you destroyed it?" What is written? ”
Lin Feng looked at me helplessly, flicked my head, and continued: "The next one is in the corner tower in the middle of the lake, and the founding ancestor of the Lin family is a woman, do you know? I shook my head.
"Legend has it that the ancestor fell in love with a man and was let down, so she used her own blood and resentment to nourish a resentful spirit, and reached a contract with the resentful spirit, so that the resentful spirit killed the man, and then the resentful spirit began to kill people uncontrollably, so the ancestor began to refine the resentful spirit and trained her into a ghost slave, so, refining the ghost slave, only women can practice." Lin Feng sighed, feeling pathetic and crying, pitiful and hateful.
"I see." I pushed the bowl in front of Lin Feng, "I'm full." He drank the water from the cup again and pushed it in front of him, "Pour another glass." ”
Lin Feng smiled, got up from the stool, turned around and walked towards the door, and looked back at me with a smile when he opened the door, looking at me with a creep, "When I came back today, I took over a task, I think it is especially suitable for you." After saying that, he left without looking back, which made me look confused.
I glanced at the bowl on the table, sighed, got up and poured a glass of water to drink, then took the bowl downstairs, and when I went back to the room, I met Yang Fei, she handed me a file, said that this was tomorrow's task, and then left.
"What's the matter, it's mysterious."
