Chapter 107: The Horror of the Pen Immortal (9)
Hearing such an answer, Lu Cheng couldn't help but sneer twice.
Are you sure that the people who have passed through the Temple of Hades recognize your identity because of your kind nature and peace-loving nature, rather than fearing the terrifying power of your group of monsters uniting together?
Thanks to Tang Yuefei and his two free thugs, Lu Cheng didn't have a good impression of the people in the Hades Temple.
"Do you know why I saved you?" The old man asked.
"I don't know." Lu Cheng shook his head, and said in his heart that it can't be because I'm more handsome.
"Because I see something different in you than they do." The old man replied lightly.
"Uh." Lu Cheng was stunned for a long time.
Black Dragon Sword? Tattoo? Or something else? He didn't guess, so he waited quietly for the old man to give an explanation.
"Demon blood." The old man said word by word, "I felt three breaths on your body at the same time, the blood of the human race, the blood of the superior emperor of the demon clan, and another even more terrifying and powerful bloodline power. ”
Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows. The heart says hehe.
The three bloodlines in his body, he said it all.
The human genes brought to him by his parents, the blood of the demon god given by the demon heart stone, and the blood of the underworld that came out of nowhere. It seems that this old monster is still not good in the end, he only knows that he is a psychic, but he can't see that the blood flowing in his body is from the Hades who retreated from the Hundred Ghosts Trembling Demons. Come to think of it, not counting yourself, the Hades clan has disappeared in the smoke and clouds of history for more than a hundred years, and now no demon clan can see it, which is completely excusable.
"That's why you saved me?"
The old man nodded, "The product of the blood mix, you are a person who was born from time to time, you know?" ”
"Heh, how can it be so exaggerated~" Lu Cheng laughed twice and scratched the back of his head.
"No exaggeration." The old man smiled and shook his head, "Even if I don't save you, you won't die here, and this result will make no difference to you." But for me it's different. The catastrophe is coming, and today's events have been formed between you and me, and because of you, my fate is no longer in the control of others. Just like Tang Seng doesn't need a white dragon horse to go to the West Heaven, but the white dragon was able to atone for his sins and become a Buddha because of Xuanzang. ”
Lu Chengxin said ho! This old man is a good fighter! The example of Bailongma and Tang Seng is absolutely easy to understand! Although "Journey to the West", which is linked to "children's books" at this time, is a bit incompatible with the artistic conception atmosphere, I have to say that with such a metaphor, he fully understood the stakes in it in an instant.
To put it bluntly, this old man values his own potential, and thinks of taking advantage of his own light and "becoming a Buddha on the ground".
He smiled, "The seniors rescued each other today, and the juniors naturally dare not forget, and if there is a place to help in the future, say it, do what you can, and do whatever you can." ”
"You're serious." The old monster glanced at him, "I'm so old, I'm doing a little business here, what can I do with your help?" In the final analysis, it's just to see that you are not a thing in the pool, and I am happy for a while, and I just pull you along, and it is not much favor. ”
Lu Cheng was blushing by what he said, a hundred-year-old old man, although he is a demon, he doesn't necessarily have to ask him for anything, he is a villain's heart to be a gentleman's belly, but this little thing of pulling out a knife to help is disgusting.
Seeing that he was embarrassed to speak, the old man then said quietly, "You have provoked something, haven't you?" ”
Lu Chengleng paused for a moment and nodded, "I offended a certain big person, so I sent a group of people to chase and kill me, but it won't get in the way." ”
The old man smiled, stood up, and walked to the back kitchen.
"That's not what I'm talking about." As he walked, he said slowly, "There's a mirror in the stairwell, haven't you looked at your back?" ”
"Back?!"
Lu Cheng's expression changed, and he took off his coat and rushed to the staircase.
In the mirror, he clearly saw that there was another black and red pattern on the right lute bone of his back.
It was a black lotus flower rippling with water ripples.
The fish-scale-like water pattern next to it is red, and the lotus flower with a few strokes is black.
With the surging of blood and the slight trembling of the shoulder blades, the black lotus flower could still dance with the water lines, swaying and whispering in the night wind like a living creature. The difference is that the white lotus flower represents holiness, while the living tattoo on Lu Cheng's body is full of evil and weirdness, as if one more glance can make people uneasy.
He swallowed, his eyes wide.
He doesn't remember when he ever had such a tattoo.
With the mechanical rotation of his body, his gaze narrowed to the red plum blossom on his left chest. It was the embodiment of the sword spirit attached to the surface of his body with the black dragon's sword body. And what about the black lotus? What's that?!
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he suddenly remembered the female ghost pen fairy who could touch his cheek by the overturned taxi last night.
The dream that had haunted him that morning resurfaced in front of him again, and under the big red word "囍" in the high hall, a white three-foot white silk hung a plain figure, swaying like the black lotus on his back.
Big trouble.
He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth fiercely.
"See clearly?" The old monster smiled at him, there was already an extra saucer in his hand, and a complete set of tea sets was placed on it, and in the small and delicate purple clay pot, the fragrance of tea wafting from unknown things, steaming out white smoke.
Lu Cheng grimaced, put on his coat again, and walked back in front of the old man.
"Have you seen something coming from your predecessors?" He asked.
"I can see it, otherwise I wouldn't have reminded you." The old monster smiled and added a little new green to each of their cups.
"To tell you the truth, I think I'm afraid I'm entangled by a female ghost this time. If you know any way to save them, I hope the old-timers can help the younger ones! "Lu Cheng is still in the mood to drink tea at this time. According to the female ghost, she will not survive until twelve o'clock tonight at the latest!
Just experienced a series of pursuits, finally woke up, and unexpectedly found that he came to a demon street, he was busy with everything for a while, and then he forgot that his life was still hanging on the line of life and death. Now even this weird and inexplicable black lotus tattoo has popped up, if he is so indifferent and idle, it will really be a pig's head!
"Female ghosts? I can't stop watching. The old monster took a sip of tea, and he didn't know if he was really confident, or simply gloating, "Besides, why are you being haunted?" This is an undying 'grudge' between humans and ghosts, do you know? ”
"What do you mean?" Lu Cheng asked with a solemn face. He had never encountered such a situation, so he couldn't help but panic.
Throughout the ages, I have heard of ghost painting talismans, where did I get any ghost tattoos? And what is not good to draw, how to look at this blood water lotus how to make his heart panic, just thinking of such a thing on the back of his back, the back of his head is shining.
"I've kept the real tea for many years, try it first." The old man smiled.
Lu Cheng rolled his eyes in his heart, but after all, he still had no reason to have a seizure, so he obediently picked up the teacup and took a sip. But it was such a perfunctory act that shocked him. With the entrance of the tea, a faint fragrance of tea also poured into the throat, sweet, slightly astringent, fragrant, and the three tastes were stirred at the same time, so that the aftertaste was as ethereal and indifferent as a cloud of smoke.
He frowned, and his expression of surprise was overflowing, "What a great tea!" ”
The old man shook his head smugly, as if he was very satisfied, Lu Cheng's reaction.
"Surrounded by ghosts, they will absorb the essence of mortals, which is the yang spirit in the mouth of your psychic. But the most important thing in the human body is the balance of yin and yang, the lack of yang spirit, in exchange for a sharp deterioration of body functions, at this time, in order to let the haunted live longer, for their own complete absorption of yang spirit, ghosts will transition part of their own body power into the body of the haunter, in order to continue life. The old man explained.
Lu Cheng thought about it, he had indeed relied on two Yin Spirits to survive for a while, so he nodded.
"This manifestation is reflected in the appearance, which is also known as 'Yintang blackening'. The ancients looked at the faces of acquaintances, and when they saw the blackened people in the Yintang, they knew that they must have encountered evil things, and everything was not going well. And this Yintang is black, in our mouth, which is synonymous with ghosts. ”
"Then what does this have to do with the black lotus on my body?"
"The amount of ghost transition energy determines the intensity of the black cloud above the haunter's head. When this value reaches a critical point, that is, when the ghost object crosses almost all the Yin spirits in the body, these foreign objects will appear as a concrete sign. In other words, the ghost is completely integrated into the victim's body in a form other than the upper body. At this time, it becomes a form of 'curse'. People and ghosts have different paths, but they share the same body, and there must be one life and one death between the two, and this situation is also the endless death you are facing now. ”
After saying this, Lu Cheng's whole face turned pale.
He suddenly understood the reason why the female ghost didn't kill him at the time of the car accident. It's not that she doesn't kill herself, but she wants to borrow her body to return to the world.
A deep, bitter smile suddenly spread between his brows.
My luck is really good.
Emperor Song, you treat me well. The hand is black to this extent, and I will be in charge of the temple of the underworld in the future, so I can't help but take you under the knife.
The old monster looked at his expression, and roughly guessed his mental activity, "I'm not afraid to tell you, looking at the 'curse and resentment pattern' on your body, what you provoke is definitely not an ordinary ghost, so I said that it is not as simple as a female ghost." Say, I'm curious how you ended up with such a difficult guy. ”
"Someone wants to frame me, and in the name of inviting the pen fairy, he used a special method to recruit this ghost king of the underworld." Lu Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Can I still be saved?" ”
"Looks like the person who hurt you is vicious enough." The old monster narrowed his eyes.
"Who's to say it's not?" Lu Cheng buried his head and drank all the tea in his cup, "Shouldn't I be ready for the future?" ”
"Don't say it so early. You're lucky, it's a female ghost who killed you, do you know? The old monster suddenly changed his words and smiled ambiguously.
"Hey, what do you mean?" Lu Cheng was creepy at him.
"Although there are no rules, but after so many years of experience, it seems that among female ghosts, there are really few peerless demons who are thirsty for killing. Where a woman becomes a demon or a demon, she can't get rid of the words 'love' and 'infatuation'. If it is a male ghost king of the underworld who entangles you today, I dare to say that the chance of your survival is no more than one percent, but as long as it is a woman, there is a soft-hearted side. I believe that when she finds you, she is asking for something, and there is still room for maneuver if you ask for something. ”
"But I don't have time! This ghost has left a mark on me now, and it will not show up, and when it is over tonight, my soul will be gone, where will I have time to intercede with her? Lu Cheng felt aggrieved.
"Yes." That ambiguous smile appeared on the old monster's face again.
At the same time, his figure in Lu Cheng's eyes was swaying, divided into two, and then merged into one.
Lu Cheng shook his head, but felt a deeper dizziness.
"What tea did you give me?" He asked.
"Good tea." The old monster looked at his sleeping figure, and once again filled his cup, as if he had tasted the passage of time, and showed a meaningful smile.
