Chapter 8: The Grim Reaper
"I really can't figure it out......"
The Grim Reaper stared at Ye Feng and said, "Say, how did you die......"
Ye Feng replied angrily: "What you said is the same as coming to the Yama Palace to report, can't you say it differently." ”
"In other words? So, how did you get into this artistic conception, and explain everything that happened before you came here. ”
Ye Feng pondered for a moment and then said, "What happened before I came here? ”
"Shura, do you know what it is?"
"Shura?" Death exclaimed.
"Yes, just ......"
"Needless to say, I already know."
The Grim Reaper smiled helplessly: "Hehe, I see, if you are invaded by Shura, then everything makes sense." ”
"Invaded by Shura? How do you know? Ye Feng was puzzled.
"Because there is only one possibility, the hell ghost will find a host and then devour its consciousness little by little when it is dying, and then be reborn, Shura is the strongest hell ghost, its soul is violent and strong, even adults can't stand it, and a child of your age will die the moment it is invaded by that Shura."
"Hehe, I don't know whether to say that you are lucky or that your fate should be like this, if it is another martial spirit, I am afraid that you are no longer alive now, the magic is that it is me, after Shura invades your body, the soul energy should have run wild in your body, and after you die, the Shura will be reborn, but you who should have been killed on the spot accidentally entered this artistic conception, and the Shura soul became the key to my awakening."
"Hahahaha, this kind of opportunity can also be met by you, among the past generations of boarders who can awaken the martial soul so quickly, you are the first, and I am afraid it will be the last." Death laughed.
"Awakening, Martial Spirit?!"
"Why, you don't even know the martial spirit, right?"
"I know, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to ......"
Ye Feng's brain was still blank at the moment, and he seemed to have heard this skeleton talking about the host or something, but he was too scared at the time to notice it at all.
"Easy? I'm afraid it's only you, and if you are someone else, it will be less than ten years, or more than a few decades, and some people will not be able to awaken the martial soul in their lifetime......" Death muttered.
"Now that we've figured out the ins and outs of the matter, when can I go back?"
"Go back?."
The Grim Reaper smiled: "It's easy to go back, but you have to find a way to solve the Shura outside, the reason why he can't devour you now is because the soul energy has been absorbed by me, if you wait for his soul energy to recover, your body will be taken by him sooner or later." ”
"Resolved? How to fix it? ”
Ye Feng looked desperate, he had seen the previous battle with his own eyes, with the strength of this Shura, I am afraid that a finger can kill him in seconds, how easy it is to solve it.
"Well, this is a problem, even if his soul is exhausted, with your current strength, the possibility of being able to defeat this Shura is very small."
The Grim Reaper looked down and thought about something, and after a moment looked up and said, "Perhaps, it doesn't need to be solved......
"Do you want to solve it......
Ye Feng looked at the skeleton in front of him speechlessly.
"Although you have awakened me, my existence needs the support of soul energy all the time, but your current soul energy is far from enough, it is better to ......"
"It's better for you not to sell it, it's not good to finish it in one breath......"
"You hairy boy, it's not the time for you to enter this stone hall, why have you become so impatient for a while." Death said helplessly.
"I didn't know what you were before, but you look like this, it's a person who is scared."
Ye Feng snorted coldly and continued: "Since I know that you are my martial soul now, I am still afraid of what you will do, anyway, if I die, don't you have to disappear......"
"You kid, alas, it's just ......"
The Grim Reaper shook his head and continued: "Right now, as long as I can trap this Shura in this artistic conception, his existence can provide me with a steady stream of soul energy, even if he recovers his soul energy, it will be absorbed by me, which can not only ensure my soul energy needs, but also will not affect you, it is simply the best of both worlds." ”
"It's just that, in this way, you can't use soul skills......"
"Can't use soul skills? Isn't awakening the martial soul just to have an epiphany of soul skills as soon as possible? If you can't use soul skills, then what's the point. ”
Ye Feng was a little difficult to accept, originally thought that after awakening the martial spirit, he could finally turn over with salted fish, but he didn't expect it to be the case again.
"Soul skills are different from exercises, exercises will only consume your own soul, but soul skills will consume a little bit of the soul of the martial soul, and in my body, now it is the soul of that Shura, every time you use a soul skill, you will absorb the soul of that Shura from me, it is easy to say that the number of times is small, but if this goes on for a long time, one day the soul of that Shura will swallow you, and at that time, life and death are ......unpredictable."
"Then I understand, as long as you don't use soul skills frequently, it's okay."
After knowing the reason, Ye Fengdian was in a much better mood, if it was just like this, it shouldn't have much impact.
"Well, so to speak." The Grim Reaper nodded.
"But, right now, I have something that I have to use soul skills, and I'm here to teach me first?" Ye Feng couldn't wait to ask.
For soul skills, he can be regarded as thirsty for knowledge, as long as he can learn soul skills, he will have more hope of winning in the competition.
"Now?"
"Uh-huh."
Ye Feng nodded frantically.
The Grim Reaper raised his hand and brushed it on Ye Feng's forehead, and a wisp of black soul energy slowly penetrated into Ye Feng's head, "This is a beginner-level soul skill, called Full Moon, this skill is definitely not an ordinary soul skill, with your current strength, you can't control it, plus there is also the soul energy of that Shura, don't use it unless you have to." ”
As soon as Ye Feng's head was hot, a soul technique called Full Moon appeared in Ye Fengdian's mind.
"That's it? You don't need to practice. Ye Feng said happily.
Half a day ago, I was still worried about soul skills and exercises, but I didn't expect to learn soul skills in the blink of an eye, and awaken the martial soul, it was like a dream.
"As long as you awaken the martial soul, the soul skill can be learned in a snap of your fingers, do you think everyone is like you, those who can't awaken the martial soul may not be able to comprehend the soul skill in their lifetime, even if they comprehend the soul skill, if there is no soul spirit of the martial soul to guide it, it is useless."
The Grim Reaper waved his hand and walked out of the stone hall, "You come with me." ”
"Are you looking for that Shura?" Ye Feng followed behind the god of death nervously.
"Why do you need to look for him outside the palace, it's just that you need to seduce him."
"You ......" Ye Feng gritted his teeth but couldn't speak, thinking that Shura wouldn't show up easily if he didn't see him.
"Don't worry, with me, then Shura won't do anything to you, not to mention that his soul has long been exhausted, you just need to introduce it into this stone hall."
Death whispered.
"Introduce this stone hall? And after that......
"I can only move in this stone hall, I can't do anything about that Shura outside the stone hall, as long as you bring him in, I will have a way to seal him here."
"However, that Shura suddenly disappeared before, and I don't even know where he is."
Ye Feng said helplessly.
"His breath is hidden in the abyss, go and see, and if he appears, you will run to this stone temple."
The Grim Reaper said that he had nothing to do with himself, and he didn't forget to point outward.
"You said lightly, I am in the light and he is in the dark, if he suddenly appears to give me a moment, then will I not ascend to heaven on the spot?"
Ye Feng replied angrily.
"Don't worry, go quickly, if you wait for his soul to recover, you will really ascend to heaven."
As he spoke, the god of death pushed Ye Feng out of the hall.
“……”
Ye Feng turned his head viciously and glared at the Grim Reaper, and then walked forward helplessly.
"The Abyss......
Ye Feng walked on the stone road and looked left and right.
"Could it be that the black on both sides of this stone bridge is the abyss?"
Ye Feng didn't take a hundred steps forward, and a cold air rushed to his face......
Wisps of blood-colored soul energy continued to converge in the center of the stone bridge from both sides.
Did it appear......
Ye Feng stared at Shura not far away.
"I... Unwilling to ...... Treachery...... Unforgivable ......"
That Shura stayed where he was and didn't move, just whispered something to his mouth, but Ye Feng didn't hear it.
Seeing that the Shura was unmoved, Ye Feng tentatively walked forward.
One step, two steps, three steps......
Just as he was about to take the fourth step, Na Shura suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Feng, his gaze was terrifying.
Seeing that this was wrong, Ye Feng didn't stop for a moment, and ran behind him with his legs.
"I'm going to ...... it"
Ye Feng ran desperately towards the stone hall, and at the same time he didn't forget to look back at Shura behind him, it was okay not to look at it, but he almost didn't scare Ye Feng to the ground.
The Shura behind him turned into a soul qi and flew towards Ye Feng, and only a moment after Ye Feng turned around, he had already arrived behind Ye Feng, and he just happened to have a close look.
"I'll go!"
Ye Feng's eyes widened, and he was almost so frightened that he didn't come up in one breath.
Ye Feng turned around and quickened his pace, looking at the skull standing at the entrance of the stone hall not far away, as if there were thousands of mud horses galloping past in his heart.
"Body ......"
That Shura was clinging to Ye Feng's back, and his mouth was still talking about something.
"If you don't hurry up, you'll be buried in this artistic conception."
The Grim Reaper said lightly.
"Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, you can do it."
Ye Feng replied indignantly.
"If I can get out, do I need you......"
The Grim Reaper whispered, a little aggrieved.
When he was still stunned by death, Ye Feng roared by, and the Shura behind him also slipped into the stone hall.
"You're doing something, there's nowhere to run!" Ye Feng fled in all directions in the stone hall without his life, and the Shura behind him was still in hot pursuit.
Hearing Ye Feng's shout, the god of death reacted, and with a wave of his right hand, the stone door slowly closed, and then he put his hands together and said lightly, "Nine Locked Soul Coffin!" ”
The overwhelming soul energy erupted from the body of the god of death, and iron cables extended from the soul qi and flew straight towards the Shura.
In the blink of an eye, the nine iron cables of kung fu have been tightly wrapped around Shura's body, but it is strange that Shura's whole body is transformed by soul energy, and it can be entangled by iron cables.
"Seal the soul in the coffin!"
The god of death roared angrily, and the Shura was directly dragged by the iron cable and flew into the coffin in the center of the stone hall.
Ye Feng looked at the scene in front of him and was directly shocked in place, "This coffin is not ......"
"This coffin itself is a seal, and anyone with a soul can seal it inside."
"You, I remember this sarcophagus ......"
The Grim Reaper was stunned and said, "Whenever a lodger dies, I seal myself in a coffin. ”
“???”
Ye Feng looked confused.
"There are thousands of martial souls in the world, but all the martial souls that reside in the human body, once the host dies, the martial soul will lose its home, and then years, decades, hundreds or even thousands of years will be spent in nothingness."
"And the only thing that awaits me is endless loneliness, and in order to avoid this, I sealed myself in the sarcophagus and waited quietly for the next boarder."
"I see."
After listening to the Grim Reaper's outpouring, Ye Feng somewhat understood the reason why he did this, if he let himself be in a place where there was nothing, even if he spent a hundred years, he might not be able to bear this torment.
"Okay, this Shura matter has been settled, you better return to the present world quickly, the person next to you seems to be impatient to wait, if you don't wake up, I'm afraid his sword will be stuck in your chest." The Grim Reaper said lightly.
"How do you know ......," Ye Feng wondered.
"From the moment you woke me up, everything outside was in my eyes."
"Don't talk about things in this artistic conception to others, for fear of causing trouble." Death turned and walked up the stone steps, and as he went, he said, "You should wake up." ”
It was a simple four words, but it seemed to contain some kind of power, Ye Feng heard this, his head began to dizzy, and at the moment he fell to the ground, he sat up violently as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Ye Feng looked around with wide eyes, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, was everything just now true......
When Ye Feng was still puzzled, Qiu Lin on the side also widened his eyes, his face full of surprise and incomprehension.
"You, are you alright?" Qiu Lin asked.
Ye Feng turned his head to look at Qiu Lin on the side, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"I, what can I ...... do?"
Qiu Lin looked around Ye Feng several times, but he didn't find anything abnormal, "How can this be, it's incredible, it's unbelievable." ”
Qiu Lin was stunned, a person who was invaded by Shura and was still unharmed, but he was unheard of, not to mention that he was not an ordinary Shura.
"Don't you feel any discomfort in your body?" Qiu Lin continued to ask.
"Body? Felt ......"
Speaking of which, compared to yesterday, it seems to be more ...... More......
"I don't think I feel anything......"
Ye Feng was stunned and suddenly spoke.
Hearing Ye Feng's answer, Qiu Lin even felt that he had heard it wrong, he was invaded by hell ghosts, and he was also Shura, he was just a child, would he be fine? Could it be ......
