Chapter Twenty-Three: The Fate of Prosperity and Withering

Pei Ye's opinion of the black mantis and the purpose of the black mantis to Pei Li are obviously different.

Pei Ye was suspicious and wary of it from the beginning, his principles were simple and simple, and it was the sentence he said to Lu Youcai, "It is precisely because of the poor ghost now that everything can be clearly understood."

is powerless to repay his kindness, and he does not dare to accept favors. Some people may feel that they are a poor boy who has something to worry about, so they simply break the jar and break it, but they give it away, and receive it in full, and if there is really a day of collection, then they will talk about it. Pei Ye felt that Grandpa Yue should be this kind of person.

But for Pei Ye himself, it was precisely because he couldn't think of what he was worthy of coveting, and in the face of such rich and miraculous benefits, he was even more vigilant. When the value of his entire life is exceeded, he has to be terrified of what price he will have to pay.

What made him even more suspicious was the activation method of the [Quail Head].

"Yes." Pei Ye admitted.

"We can talk openly – why?"

"Is that what you're for?" Pei Ye asked rhetorically.

"What?"

"Let that gourd into my body."

"How could you think that? Isn't revenge your own choice? Wasn't it your own effort to kill that man? ”

“……”

"You think I can weave it all like a doll?"

"I don't know." Pei Li said frankly, "The way you appeared seems to have a lot to do with them, I feel that you are being used by you, and the method of activating [Quail Head] is that mudra." ”

“…… I really can't answer your last question, it's a mystery to me as well, because Quailhead isn't my power, I'm just ...... Hold it for the time being. Black Mantis thought of a suitable expression and continued, "As for the first two doubts, I have always been calm with you. 'I'll help you, and then you help me', remember? ”

Pei Ye nodded slowly: "Remember." You saved my life last night, and today's blood feud is also due to the power of the quail's head, no matter what, I will repay this friendship. ”

"Okay, then you and I make a contract, how about it?"

“…… What? ”

"That's how you help me."

"I don't understand."

"This kind of thing of ours is born with mysteries, and only cultivates with age, and only by concluding a life contract with others can we adopt the extracorporeal mystical qi. To put it bluntly, it is to touch you with some light, rub your life, so that I can control the Xuanqi of heaven and earth - what do you humans say, isn't it 'Xuanxuan'? On the other hand, you can also get the corresponding benefits from me. ”

Pei Li pondered: "Since it is mutually beneficial for both sides, how can I count me as a favor for you?" ”

"Because I am in danger now, I need this fate contract even more to strengthen myself, and this contract is called [Fate and Prosperity and Withering], once I encounter an accident, you will also suffer a heavy blow."

"Do you want me to help you?"

"You can't help, it's enough to make a contract with me."

"That'...... Why me? Pei Ye finally asked, "Or, do you have anything to pay attention to as a candidate for the contract?" ”

"Fate."

"......" Pei Li was obviously not satisfied with this answer, "What is fate?" ”

"Since it is a fateful contract, it is natural that the destiny is compatible, and different beasts have different types of fateful people. It's a kind of sifting in the dark, and if you want me to use human language, it's barely the words 'young', 'sword', 'clear-minded', and 'resolute'. ”

"I'm not going to be young forever." Pei Ye has a spirit of serious inquiry.

"Represents the choice of the here and now."

"Hmm."

"Any questions?"

"When you get through the crisis, can this contract still be resolved?"

"Troublesome, but okay."

Pei Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, you save my life first, I am naturally willing to take the risk for you - how to get this deed?" ”

"Good question." The black mantle's tone was not wavering, "The two parties to the contract must be intertwined with their lives, and life and death can be concluded." ”

Pei Ye suddenly said: "You saved me once last night, I want to find a way to save you again, and this contract can be concluded?" ”

"You've already saved me once."

Pei Ye was stunned: "When?" ”

The black cockroach turned its huge head, and Pei Ye witnessed the appearance of this creature for the first time - majestic, deep, and magnificent, with less horns and a little more delicate and light. Every detail is meticulously carved, and every scale is glowing with jade.

And in the center of this crest, a pair of glass-like blue eyes looked at him quietly.

Pei Ye was shocked and lost his voice: "You are the one-"

"Not exactly." The black cockroach turned back, "No need to apply herbs to it." ”

"That'...... How is this deed going to be concluded? ”

"It's very simple, you just need to say 'Pei Li, Quail Head' again."

"Pei Li, Quail Head." Pei Li tried.

"Xuanhuo, really Shen." Black Cockroach replied.

Pei Ye felt something connected.

A shadow of blue light appeared in the dantian, and he clearly felt that the [Quail Head] was in it, and this immortal-like ability was solidified in his dantian through this shadow.

"That's fine?" Pei Ye didn't feel any change.

"Alright."

"If you had said you were the cat......"

"A cat that you've been with for two days can make you trust?"

"Well, it's a little kinder, and I love it."

"You'd better not treat people like pets without permission."

“…… I'm sorry. ”

"Since fate is the same, can I ask you a question?" Pei Ye was silent for a while and said, "My body, what's going on now?" ”

In this dream, he could look inward, and the good news was that all the injuries in his internal organs had healed, and all the traces left by the maggot-like heart of the tarsal bone had disappeared. The bad news is that his dantian seed has also disappeared, and only a condensed dark blue light cluster is left in the dantian seed.

"Simply put, you've accomplished what the man was meant to achieve." The black mantis groaned, "But I don't know what such a body can do. ”

"Am I going to be a monster like that?" Pei Ye raised his blue striped forearm.

"No, but it will still transform your body to some extent, and the result of this transformation should achieve the original purpose of the Candle World Sect, but it may be between good and bad for you."

The black cockroach pondered for a while and said, "According to my guess, there should be a mass of nutrients in your dantian for the growth of seeds. ”

"Seeds? Is the dantian planted? But my dantian seed has been melted by it. ”

"Yes, ordinary dantian seeds can only be used as fertilizer." "So I think what can grow in this should be a stronger and more specific seed." ”

“…… I've never heard of the idea that the dantian seed can be replaced. ”

"Didn't you?" Black Cockroach was a little surprised, "Why do I think this should be such a common thing?" ”

It thought for a while, then said with some irritation, "...... I lost a lot of memories. ”

Pei Ye gently patted the huge body under him.

"But I should be right." The Black Mantis finally firmed, "You need to find this seed, the Candle World Sect must know where it is." ”
