Chapter 33: The Weapon of Life
At this moment, I was also a little dumbfounded, and I thought I had heard it wrong, so I subconsciously rubbed my ears.
But Uncle Ghost seemed to have made up his mind and spoke again: "I am a person from Fengling Village, and I am the choice of the City God, so I am naturally the most suitable person to go to the City God Temple." ”
Old man Zhang waved his hand again and again.
"Bullshit!"
"Although you are a village guard, with the current situation in Fengling Village, you will definitely die if you go."
"Just let this kid go."
I rolled my eyes.
Uncle Ghost will definitely die if he goes, so won't I go?
But I didn't bother to deal with him anymore, and by this time I had already seen that Old Man Zhang was determined to let me take this risk, and the reason was that I had just arrived.
At this time, the old drunkard suddenly spoke: "No matter who goes, it is not a simple matter to go to the Earth Immortal Sword. ”
"I have a compromise."
The old drunkard looked at me.
"Boy."
"You came to this Fengling Village for the Zhenling Coffin, since the Zhenling Coffin is what you need, then the Earth Immortal Sword is also what you need."
"So what?" I don't quite understand what the old drunkard means by that.
Seeing that I didn't deny it, the old drunkard looked at the others.
"Although the Zhenling coffin is important to us, it is not necessary to find it, after all, after so many years, we are already half-cut old people, and if we want to find the Zhenling coffin, we just want to know some of the truth of the year."
"In other words."
"The importance of the Earth Immortal Sword to you is far greater than ours."
I was stunned for a moment.
But I didn't refute it.
Because it is.
If what Liu Yunsheng said is true, then the Earth Immortal Sword is the key to me finding the Zhenling Coffin, and the Zhenling Coffin is the key to my life, no matter what, I have to find it.
Other words.
Even if Old Man Zhang didn't force me to go now, I would have to find the Earth Immortal Sword sooner or later, unless I could find the Zhenling Coffin in other ways.
But that's almost impossible.
Thinking of this, I was also a little depressed for a while.
If it weren't for the old drunkard mentioning this, I really wouldn't have thought of it.
Seeing that I was silent, the old drunkard glanced at Uncle Ghost and said again: "What the ghost boy said is right, as the keeper of Fengling Village, he has the responsibility to find the coffin of the town spirit, and since you also need it, it is better to let the two of you go together." ”
"It's kind of a response."
I was a little surprised to hear that.
I didn't expect the old drunkard to say that the compromise solution was to let Uncle Ghost go with me.
It also made my heart flutter a little bit.
Because I knew my situation very well, even if I had a Chenghuang sticker to defend myself, it didn't last long, and if I didn't feel wrong, the reason why I suddenly felt extremely tired and weak at that time was because of the Chenghuang sticker.
If that's the case, even if I use the Chenghuang sticker to temporarily protect myself, so that Old Man Zhang can't force me to go to the Chenghuang Temple alone to die, it can only be said to be a delaying tactic.
So since both horizontal and vertical are dead, and I have to find the Earth Immortal Sword in order to suppress the spirit coffin, then I might as well simply do it.
Therefore, if Uncle Ghost goes with me, it will be a good thing for me.
After all, I am not familiar with the place of life in this Fengling Village, and I am not familiar with the City God Temple at all, but Uncle Ghost is different.
As a village keeper of Fengling Village, he must know much more about the City God Temple in Fengling Village.
But I didn't rush to answer, but also looked at Uncle Ghost.
Uncle Ghost was still a little hesitant.
It's like they don't want me to wade into this troubled water.
I just don't know why, looking at Uncle Ghost, I always feel weird in my heart, but I can't say why.
At this moment, Old Man Zhang frowned and said, "Old drunkard, it's not impossible for you to make this proposal. ”
"But the ghost boy ...... after all"
Before Old Man Zhang finished speaking, Uncle Ghost had already interrupted him.
"Uncle Zhang, it's decided."
Seeing that Uncle Ghost had decided, Old Man Zhang sighed slightly, and then looked at me again, "Boy." ”
"That's it."
"You can give me a good word too."
"To go or not to go!"
I gave the old man a blank look.
I don't have a good impression of him at all, and he is the only one who takes the initiative to drive me to death, which makes me wonder if he has an enmity with me, or a grudge against Niang'er Village.
I said, "Just go." ”
"If I don't go anyway, you'll have to force me to go."
"But I have one condition."
"If I come back alive, don't push the old blind man's affairs on me again."
In this way, Uncle Ghost and I directly became people on the same rope.
After leaving the ancestral hall, I realized that in less than half a day, I had already experienced two life and death crises.
If it weren't for the fate.
Now I guess I'm part of the bones in that place.
After a while, Uncle Ghost and I returned to Uncle Ghost's house.
Uncle Ghost, who had been silent all the way, looked at me apologetically: "Today's incident is not something I can stop. ”
"I know." I nodded.
I can also see this, with the posture of the old man Zhang staring at me, unless Uncle Ghost has the absolute right to speak, it is useless to say anything, so although I still have some pimples in my heart, I don't want to blame Uncle Ghost for anything.
After all, although he is the person the old smoker said.
But to be reasonable, he has done enough.
From the very beginning, he was the only one who spoke for me.
Seeing my indifferent attitude, Uncle Ghost smiled helplessly.
I asked, "When are you leaving?" ”
Uncle Ghost shook his head and said, "Don't worry." ”
"I'll go back when it's dark."
As he spoke, Uncle Ghost took out a stack of yellow paper from his body, that is, the City God stickers that belonged to him, and then selected three from them.
I saw the same, and it only felt familiar.
One of them is painted with something resembling a whip.
One is a scythe.
I only reacted when I saw that the third one was painted with a piece of clothing, and I also have these three.
"What are these three Chenghuang stickers for?" I asked subconsciously.
Uncle Ghost looked at me with some surprise.
"You don't know?"
I nodded, not denying it.
The city god sticker was given to me by the old smoker, I only know how to use it, and I don't know anything else, even how the old smoker has the city god sticker that only these village guards will have, I don't know.
And at this point, it doesn't make sense for me to hide these things, and I even feel that if I hide them, it may be a bad thing for me.
Sure enough, although the surprise in Uncle Ghost's eyes was even more obvious, he didn't ask more, but explained: "These three things are the lifeblood weapons of the village guards. ”
"Separately suppress the soul rope."
"Scythe."
"And the Guardian of the City God."
"Unlike other Chenghuang stickers, although these three life-weapons are also converted from Chenghuang stickers, once used, they can exist until the death of the village guard."
"That Earth Immortal Sword is actually the lifeblood weapon of the village keeper a hundred years ago."
"It's just that he has a good ability, and he can be called an immortal in the world, so his life weapon is different from ours, but the effect is actually much the same."
