Chapter 45: The Age of the End of Law
This difficult ghost baby was finally killed, but at this time, a cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Yang Sheng's mind:
"Trigger the side quest: Investigate the root cause of the strange changes in the Golden Tower.
Reward: For each mission-related ghost slain, a magic spirit seal will be rewarded, which will take effect immediately.
Obtain the Borrowing Spirit Seal: Wood.
(Manpower is sometimes exhausted, but the power of heaven and earth is endless.) The foundation of Maoshan's spells and talismans is to borrow the law, relying on the seal and talisman rituals to borrow the aura of heaven and earth in exchange for various powers. )”
In Yang Sheng's perception, there seemed to be something more in his mind, which made him very sensitive to the power of the surrounding wood attributes.
This is the borrowing of the Dharma Spirit Seal?
Without waiting for Yang Sheng to study carefully, Ayou had already taken out the red rope, tied up the corpse of the ghost baby on the ground, and stuffed it into a cloth bag embroidered with Tai Chi patterns.
The bag was the size of a palm, but it could hold a baby.
Glancing at Yang Sheng, Ayou said lightly: "Although this ghost thing kills it, the yin qi left in its body will not dissipate, and if it is not banned, it will affect other people." ”
"Thank you Boss Chen for your help, you are a Taoist priest?"
Chen You shook his head and said, "It used to be, but now when I am a Taoist priest, I can't eat." Follow me. ”
Without waiting for Yang Sheng to agree, Chen You walked straight to the end of the corridor.
The door of a room at the end of the corridor was opened, and Chen You and Yang Sheng walked in, frowning at the same time.
All the windows in this room were sealed with yellow rune paper, and all sorts of incantations were drawn in blood.
There are transparent bottles and cans all around, and all of them are unformed babies, or the remains of various babies!
There was no light in the room, only a small white candle burning, but it had a rancid pungent smell.
Chen You leaned in and sniffed it, frowning, "Corpse oil candle." ”
Yang Sheng asked, "What is the origin of this woman?" ”
Chen You sighed softly: "That woman's name is Lin Shuyi, but we all call her Mrs. He."
She is a girl who went out of the slum area of Jinxiao Building, married a rich husband and lived in a villa.
Originally, everything was fine, but she finally gave birth to a son, but died in less than a month.
Her husband's family thought it was all her fault and began to exclude her, and her husband also found a new love, and the new love divorced her after having a son.
After Mrs. He returned to Jinxiao Mansion, she was in a bad spirit, so she had to let others continue to call her Mrs. He.
On weekdays, she also pushes unmanned strollers around all day long, but she never expected her to raise a ghost baby.
Where did she get all these evil methods? ”
Chen You punched out a yellow talisman, directly extinguished the corpse oil candle, and locked it after walking out of the door.
Yang Sheng wanted to ask about Chen You's Taoism and the things in the Jinxiao Mansion, but before he could ask, Chen You seemed to guess what he was going to say, and said directly:
"Boy, I'll talk about it tomorrow if there's any problem.
I can't sleep at night, do you know that insomnia will cause hair loss when you get older? ”
With an impatient wave of his hand, Chen You turned around and left directly.
Yang Sheng looked at Chen You, who was leaving, with a hint of exploration in his eyes.
This world is clearly abnormal, and it is estimated that in the next six days, he will encounter this kind of evil ghost thing every night.
The appetizers on the first day were so exciting, and God knows what he'll encounter next.
Although this Chen You said that he is not a Taoist priest now, his Taoism is amazing.
It is indeed a bit laborious to kill ghosts by brute force, and if you want to successfully complete the task, the focus should still be on this Chen You.
Yang Sheng wanted to continue patrolling, but he suddenly found that the task of inspecting Jinxiao Mansion had become 1/7.
He's only been around the second floor for a while, so that's the mission?
What the stumbling mission really requires is not patrolling, but getting rid of a ghost?
Yang Sheng did not continue to investigate, and since the task was completed, he temporarily returned to the guard room to rest and recuperate.
However, in such a strange place as Jinxiao Mansion, God knows if the guard room on the first floor is not safe, and Yang Sheng even sleeps with the Royal Forest Saber.
Because he was afraid that he would not be able to concentrate immediately when he woke up in his sleep, he took the Royal Saber out of the storage space.
This sleep went straight to the next morning, Yang Sheng washed up casually, and went directly to Youji Hotel to find Chen You.
Seeing Yang Sheng coming, Chen You first gave Yang Sheng a gesture and asked him to sit in a corner away from other diners.
Then he personally fried a bowl of glutinous rice and served it, threw it in front of Yang Sheng, lit a cigarette, and looked at Yang Sheng angrily: "Don't discuss these things in front of other people in the daytime, aren't you afraid of being treated as a psychopath?" ”
Yang Sheng tasted a bite of glutinous rice, which was oily and salty, and the taste was really good.
It's no wonder that business has always been very good, and diners almost come from morning to night.
"Boss Chen, you always knew that there were ghosts in Jinxiao Building?"
Chen You spit out a smoke ring and said lightly: "I'm not blind, of course I know."
And don't call me Boss Chen, you can also call the boss if you open a half-dead small restaurant? I feel like you're mocking me. It's okay to call me brother. ”
"Brother You, since you can see those ghosts, with your strength, why don't you get rid of them?"
Chen You sneered: "What about ghosts? People may have lived here decades or centuries ago, but we are the ones who came later.
Relying on a few means to drive people out, isn't this a robber? ”
"What about Mrs. Ho? Some of the babies she made ghost babies didn't look like dead babies who had died young. ”
Chen You paused, his face was a little solemn, and then he shook his head and said, "I don't know, she shouldn't be able to use this kind of secret technique of the evil sect as a woman."
And Mrs. He has always been a little mentally abnormal, so I haven't paid attention to it all along.
If it weren't for the fact that you got the ghost baby to make a move yesterday, I wouldn't have known that she had refined such an evil thing. ”
The side quest is to investigate the root cause of the strange changes in the Jinxiao Mansion, and if the mission says so, it proves that although there were ghosts in the Jinxiao Mansion before, they were only ghosts that died normally decades or even hundreds of years ago, not evil things like ghost babies.
Since Chen You also said so, it should be possible to deduce that the strange changes in Jinxiao Mansion should have started recently.
Yang Sheng paused, and while eating glutinous rice, he asked, "Brother You, your Taoism is so superb, why don't you continue to be a Taoist priest, but instead fry glutinous rice here?" ”
Chen You sneered, took out a handful of glutinous rice from his pajama pocket, and watched the crystal glutinous rice scattered on the table one by one.
"What's the use of being superb? Can I fill my stomach?
In the past, Taoist priests had familiar rice shop owners, and the relationship was passed down from generation to generation.
Get rid of zombies, exchange for reward money, buy glutinous rice, and build Taoist temples.
But now that people are dead, they are directly cremated, and without zombies, what is the meaning of the existence of Taoist priests?
Fortune telling? We can't even count our own lives.
My senior brother is a true transmission of Maoshan magic, and his Taoism is ten times stronger than mine, and in the end, he can't even afford a cemetery when he dies! ”
Speaking of this, Chen You's face showed a hint of sarcasm.
"Every inch of land in Hong Kong is expensive, and a living person can't afford to buy a house, let alone a dead person.
Taoist priests are also human beings, and they also have to live.
Using magic to harm others for profit will be repulsed and punished by God.
I don't want to pretend to be a ghost to cheat money, so I can only fry glutinous rice here. ”
In Chen You, Yang Sheng felt that he saw Tan Baikuan's shadow.
One is the sorrow of the end of the martial era, and the other is the sorrow of the end of the law era.
It's just that Chen You is more extreme than Tan Baikuan, and he has reached the point of being a little cynical.
Tan Baikuan can also sell himself to the number gang to make money.
But Chen You would rather fry glutinous rice here than use that Maoshan technique to make a living.
Yang Sheng put down the bowl and said in a deep voice: "Brother You, there must be more ghosts in Jinxiao Mansion than that ghost baby.
You don't want to make a move, can you pass me some Maoshan spells, and I'll do it to eradicate them? ”
Yang Sheng was already very greedy for Chen You's Maoshan Dao technique last night.
This world is weird and weird, and if you want to restrain these ghosts, you can't rely on brute force alone.
So he also wanted to test Chen You, and was willing to teach himself Maoshan Taoism.
Things that you have touched will become a purchase right when you settle in the reincarnation world, and you need to spend reincarnation points to purchase.
But if Chen You taught him, he shouldn't need to buy what he has learned, right?
It's as if the national arts specialization that he awakened in the Dragon City ring automatically belongs to him.
