Chapter VII

The cave is still full of spring, and the King of the Corpse is standing high on the stone platform as always, and Si You and Soul Refining are at the bottom. After taking Zhang Lie in, Qiu Hong nodded to the King of the Corpse, and stood over without saying a word.

After a quick observation, Zhang Lie didn't see anything unusual in the cave, at least on the surface, but the unpredictable expression of the Corpse King also made him elusive.

Deciding to get straight to the point, Zhang Lie spread his hands to the King of the Corpse: "King of the Corpse, I didn't bring you the people." ”

The Corpse King nodded, "I know." There was no other word.

For the first time, Zhang Lie, who was good at observing words and feelings, was also confused, what did the other party mean? Don't care at all? Or is it a retreat? This is very rare for Zhang Lie, no matter how cunning his opponent was in the past, he could always see a little clue from the opponent, so as to put himself in an advantageous position. And this time, he couldn't guess what the King of the Corpse was thinking, such a situation only appeared when facing the destruction of the Blind.

The secret path is worthy of being an old ghost who has practiced for thousands of years, and he is really cunning and cunning. Zhang Lie decided to test it again, he said: "It's really ashamed to have the Corpse King's trust, I've been disturbing for a long time these days, and I don't want to cause trouble to the Corpse King anymore, so this time I came to prepare to pick up Jian Xian and ask the Corpse King's permission." ”

He was quite clever in his words, and if the king of the corpses agreed, he would take the people away; If the other party refuses or deliberately shirks, it means that the king has other plans or wants to put forward certain conditions. In short, it is for him to have to react, knowing that no matter how bad the situation is, it is better than no reaction at all.

But Zhang Lie once again underestimated the King of the Corpse, and the King of the Corpse reacted to his words by nodding noncommittally: "Really? That's a shame. ”

These words seem to mean something, and it seems to be just a simple politeness, Zhang Lie can't help but be angry, this old slippery head is really difficult to deal with. With his heart turned to the sidelines, he decided not to hide it anymore.

"Corpse King, although I failed, I am still sincerely willing to cooperate with you, I wonder what your plans are?"

He secretly said in his heart: "This time I kicked the ball directly to you, I don't believe you will be indifferent." However, this time, the answer of the King of the Corpse was really what Zhang Lie did not expect and was taken aback.

I saw that the King of the Corpse leaned forward slightly, and said with a strange expression: "I originally wanted to help you with all my might and achieve great things together, but since you want to leave so much, then I can only express my pity." ”

"What!?" Zhang Lie exclaimed in disbelief.

The other party said such a thing, which Zhang Lie never dreamed of. The King of the Corpse actually agreed, and it was when the former had joined the competition, and then he came empty-handed.

In an instant, Zhang Lie finally realized what it was like to say "like falling into the clouds" that human beings often say, at this moment he was like floating in the clouds, and he didn't know where he was.

Zhang Lie was keenly aware that the King of the Corpse had already made this decision, and only said it slowly after "playing" him to his heart's content, this old ghost was really difficult to measure with common sense.

But none of this is important, what matters is that he took the most important step to achieve his ambition, and finally took a solid step.

At the same time, he also had a great question in his heart: Why? Why did he do it?

Seeing Zhang Lie's doubts, the King of the Corpse smiled and said, "It's better for Jian Xian to explain it for you later." ”

"Him?" Zhang Lie couldn't help but be stunned: "Could it be that all this was facilitated by that dead old man?" ”

Before the words fell, Jian Xian's voice sounded at the entrance of the cave: "What a dead old man." The old man has worked hard for you these days, but you don't even have a word of thanks? ”

As he spoke, Jian Xian walked in with a smug face. Seeing the old man's complacent look, Zhang Lie was angry and funny: "Can anyone tell me what is going on?" ”

Si You said slowly: "The Corpse King promised to help you with all his might if you found the 'Ten Thousand Soul Body' for him, but now the Corpse King is just fulfilling his promise." ”

Zhang Lie Daqi: "But I don't have it at all..." Suddenly, he came to his senses, turned his head and looked at Jian Xian in disbelief: "Could it be you?" ”

Jian Xian squinted at him, snorted from his nostrils, and seemed to say, "Now you kid knows how powerful my old man is, right?" ”

Before Zhang Lie could speak, Xiao Yu suddenly burst out of his body, grabbed Jian Xian's beard unceremoniously and said, "Master Jian Xian, what's going on, tell Xiao Yu quickly." ”

was caught by her and screamed, Jian Xian shouted lightly. It was easy to get rid of Xiaoyu's entanglement, and he touched his beard with palpitations and said, "You girl will defend that stinky boy, and sooner or later your life will be in your hands." ”

After a pause, Jian Xian said: "After Annihilation came to see the King of the Corpse, I guessed that you would most likely fail, so I made a 'Ten Thousand Soul Body' for you these days." ”

"Made one?" Zhang Lietu's feeling was extremely ridiculous: "This thing... Can it be made? ”

Jian Xian snorted proudly; "Those vampires can do it, why can't the old man? With tens of thousands of classics, coupled with the wisdom of the old man, and the secluded mountain is a place where all souls in the world gather, is there a better condition than this? ”

Zhang Lie was still a little unconvinced: "Then how did you do it?" ”

At this time, the King of the Corpse replied: "What Jian Xian said is true, this king also knew that he had done this in secret at the moment when he offered the 'Ten Thousand Soul Body', which is really impressive. ”

Jian Xian said triumphantly: "The key is Emei's tens of thousands of classics, which contain everything, and there are many precious materials about souls. The so-called 'Ten Thousand Souls' is, to put it bluntly, a melting pot that compresses the essence of the soul, thus giving the carrier unexpected powerful power and the ability to resist sunlight. Although there are also studies on the soul in the Western magic system, they are all limited to the resurrection of 'one body and one soul' or the manipulation of zombies, which is very similar to the idea of 'parasitic spirit in the body, immortality' in our Chinese-style ghost magic. It is quite admirable that those vampires can make such a perfect finished product out of thin air without theoretical support. Hehe, I just don't know how many souls they wasted. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The old man is originally a 'machine spirit', and he is most familiar with spirits and souls, and it is not difficult to study the secret methods in those classics and understand the 'Ten Thousand Soul Body'. In addition, the conditions in the secluded mountains are unique, and the existence of all kinds of souls can be found. ”

At this point, Zhang Lie finally understood what Jian Xian's sentence "I'm doing a very important thing that is closely related to you" meant when he asked for help in Japan, but he never expected that he would actually make a ten thousand soul body for himself.

"Just this one thing, desperately trying to rescue this old man at the beginning was a profitable business..."Under emotion, Zhang Lie couldn't help but think.

"In the past few months, I have been missing in the secluded mountain, it turns out that you old man is making trouble, Jian Xian is too bold." The King of the Corpses was half angry, half joking.

Jian Xian only laughed: "The Corpse King's wish has finally been fulfilled, how can he care about this trivial matter?" ”

Staring at him, the King of the Corpse laughed and said: "Okay, this king will no longer pursue this matter, from now on, he will fully support the tiger demon Zhang Lie in the hidden mountain, I just hope you don't let me down." ”

Zhang Lie had recovered from his initial shock, and said with a smile when he heard this: "The Corpse King's investment will never lose money. ”

"And what are you going to do next?" The Vaishing King asked.

Zhang Lie said: "I have some things to talk to Jian Xian alone, and then I can answer the Corpse King, I hope I don't feel weird." ”

Stunned for a moment, the King of the Corpse waved his hand generously: "This is natural, then the king is waiting for your good news." ”

After giving a salute to the King of the Corpse, Zhang Lie and Jian Xian said goodbye and left. After the two left, Qiu Hong suddenly said to the Corpse King: "I see that Zhang Lie is extremely cunning, no one can figure out what he wants to do, if the Corpse King really decides to support him, I'm afraid it will be a trouble to raise a tiger..."

The King of the Corpse smiled proudly: "So what? Now that I have obtained the 'Ten Thousand Souls', in time, when I have fully understood it, it will be the time when I will reappear in the secluded mountain, and then... Hmph, anyway, Zhang Lie is just my marionette after all, and he will never be able to jump out of my palm. ”

"Yes, I'm Wang Yingming." Qiu Hong said respectfully. However, she was thinking in her heart, with Zhang Lie's shrewdness, is it really so easy to control?
