Volume 2 Rebirth Chapter 078 Ghost Thoughts
At the same time, Shang Xiaodie was completely shocked by this scene.
The soul bell in her hand began to frantically absorb resentment. After a period of desperate dying struggles, the blood-water-like resentment that was originally like a substance finally turned into a gray-colored mist, which continued to float towards the soul bell, just like encountering a black hole with super suction power, and was absorbed by the soul bell.
The soul bell that absorbed the resentment seemed to have received some kind of stimulation, activating its sleeping "appetite", and immediately became excited, the bell became more and more crisp and pleasant, and the speed of absorbing the resentment became faster and faster.
However, Shang Xiaodie soon notices that the female ghost in red is also changing rapidly. The blood-red form quickly faded, first light red, then grayish-white, and finally dark gray, and the figure became more and more blurred.
The change of the female ghost in red was very sudden and very fast. Shang Xiaodie just noticed that before she could react, she had turned into a vague shadow, and merged into the torrent of resentment, and was sucked into it by the soul bell.
How so?
Shang Xiaodie is completely confused.
The female ghost in red was also absorbed by the soul bell? Didn't she say she wouldn't?
However, it did happen.
By the time Fluttershy reacts, it's too late.
Shang Xiaodie felt very uncomfortable. But it was useless to be uncomfortable, she could only lament in her heart.
After another half an hour, the resentment of the blood pool was finally absorbed. At this time, there were blood stains everywhere in the dungeon, and only half of the blood pool was left. The blood was unusually calm, and there was not a trace of waves in sight, as if it had froze. It can be seen that there is no longer the slightest resentment of the soul in it.
Shang Xiaodie held the soul bell tightly in her hand, and the soul bell that had absorbed a lot of resentment did not look any different from before.
Having just experienced a life-and-death catastrophe, Shang Xiaodie is still a little dazed.
At this time, Grandma Shang and the third elder of Shang slowly descended into the dungeon, and they all looked at Shang Xiaodie and the soul bell in her hand with amazement.
Grandma Shang was not embarrassed by the fact that she had just thrown Shang Xiaodie, but her face was visibly happy for the rest of her life.
"Girl, where did you get this soul bell?" Grandma Shang asked directly.
Shang Xiaodie hurriedly put the soul bell in her backpack, holding it down with both hands, and looked at Grandma Shang vigilantly, for fear that she would come and snatch her soul bell.
"Fluttershy, don't be nervous. With a kind smile on his face, the eldest of the three elders hurriedly said, "You helped us and helped our merchant fort resolve the biggest crisis in history. We are very grateful. Your bell is amazing, and we're curious, so we're asking you. ”
Shang Xiaodie didn't know the three elders of the merchants, and they had basically not dealt with them before, and they were all recluses in the merchant fort. Moreover, the owner of the merchant fort is the merchant grandmother, not the merchant three elders. Therefore, even if the three elders of the merchant are old, it is the grandmother of the merchant who is really in charge of the merchant fort.
Moreover, in Fluttershy's heart, all the people in Merchant Fort are not good people. This label has been affixed to the core.
Therefore, Shang Xiaodie is not concerned when faced with the elder's seemingly friendly overtures, but looks at Grandma Shang vigilantly.
Grandma Shang saw that Shang Xiaodie didn't answer her, and her face suddenly became ugly.
Shang Xiaodie simply let go and asked, "What?
The three elders of the merchant couldn't help but glance at each other, all showing a hint of confusion.
Grandma Shang was about to have a seizure, but one of them hurriedly turned to Grandma Shang and said, "Castle Master, the old man originally had no right to intervene in the affairs of the castle. But Fluttershy helped us defuse the crisis. We must not embarrass her. ”
The eldest elder also smiled and said, "Not bad." The old man remembers that Fluttershy seems to be Haotian's widow. Why did the lord of the castle drive her out of the merchant fort?"
Shang Xiaodie only then realizes that Grandma Shang has not revealed her true identity to the merchant castle. From this point of view, this businessman is still very concerned about face.
Grandma Shang's face was extremely pale, but in the face of the inquiry of the third elder of the merchant, she couldn't help but respond, so she said vaguely: "This girl is stubborn and violates the clan rules, so I drove her out as a punishment." In the future, as long as she changes, she can still come back. Such a trivial matter does not need to be cared about by the three elders. ”
The three elders all looked disapproving, but they didn't dwell too much.
Although Grandma Shang was extremely curious about Shang Xiaodie's soul bell, she saw that Shang Xiaodie didn't plan to tell her where she came from at all, and in front of the three elders, it was not easy to have a seizure, so she had to snort slightly, deliberately put on the posture of an elder, and said: "Girl, although you have resolved the grievance crisis, your soul bell can absorb grievances, and it must be an evil thing." ”
Shang Xiaodie said unceremoniously, "I'm not from your merchant fort right now, you can't take care of it." ”
Seeing Shang Xiaodie like this, the three elders of the merchant all frowned slightly, perhaps they all thought that Shang Xiaodie was really naughty, no wonder Grandma Shang wanted to punish her, such a girl really needs to be trained.
However, the eldest elder stepped forward and said, "Fluttershy is stubborn, but she owes me a lot of credit." Castle Master, Fluttershy is still young, and she shouldn't be in a hurry. Don't embarrass her today. ”
Since the third elder had spoken, Grandma Shang naturally couldn't refute his face, so she had to say: "Since the third elder has this order, the old man naturally obeys." It's just that this girl is too naughty, and I'm afraid that she will be pampered even more. ”
"Huh. The elder smiled and said, "We and other old people have no intention of interfering with the castle master's management of the merchant fort, everything is still up to the castle master's decision. ”
How smart Shang Xiaodie is, I can see that the third elder of Shang seems to have a meaning to defend her, whether this is true or not, but it is a good thing for Shang Xiaodie at this time. And Grandma Shang obviously didn't want to let her go, but she had to consider the face of the three elders. Therefore, with the three elders here, she shouldn't be strong on herself. However, if the three elders are gone, it will be difficult to say.
In this case, if you don't try to leave quickly, you are afraid that you will be in big trouble.
For this reason, Shang Xiaodie hurriedly took advantage of the fact that the third elder had not left, and hurriedly said, "Lord Shang Castle, you originally asked me to help, and now that the matter has been resolved, where should I go there?"
Grandma Shang hesitated slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
The eldest man smiled and said, "Fluttershy, the old man doesn't know what you did wrong to get kicked out of the merchant castle. However, after all, you are still a member of my merchant fort, and I hope you will change your way as soon as possible and return to your clan. ”
Shang Xiaodie snorted coldly in her heart, but said lukewarmly, "Thank you." ”
Grandma Shang finally made up her mind, looked at Shang Xiaodie with inexplicable eyes, and said, "Thank you for tonight, let's go." ”
Shang Xiaodie did not hesitate to leave without the slightest hesitation.
Shang Xiaodie walked out of the dungeon, and the outside was full of people from the merchant castle, all of whom looked exhausted, and it seemed that the Blood Demon Array had consumed a lot that day.
In this regard, Shang Xiaodie was secretly frightened, and felt more and more the power of the soul bell. Such a powerful thing is now known by Grandma Shang, but I'm afraid that something is not good.
Shang Xiaodie suddenly panicked, and subconsciously pressed the soul bell in the backpack with her hand, as if she was worried that it would suddenly disappear.
Shang Xiaodie hurriedly left the merchant fort and walked down the high platform, when she accidentally saw Shang Haoran and Shang Zhan's father and son in the crowd. Shang Haoran's face was pale, his expression was languishing, and he was obviously overconsumed, and he looked at Shang Xiaodie with rather strange eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Shang Zhan is also tired, but he looks at Shang Xiaodie's eyes with obvious hostility.
Fluttershy doesn't bother to pay attention to them, so she simply doesn't look at them, and spends her time leaving the merchant castle more and more.
After Shang Xiaodie leaves, Grandma Shang and the three elders look at the destroyed dungeon altar, and they all have mixed feelings.
The eldest elder sighed, "The Bloodthirsty Demon Sutra is certainly powerful, but this cultivation is still too dangerous, and besides, this undead spirit resentment is always a threat. Although the altar has a certain sealing effect, judging from today's encounter, this altar seal is actually accumulating resentment, which is not only useless, but harmful. ”
The other two elders also nodded yes.
Grandma Shang said: "This is also something that can't be helped, resentment is very helpful to the cultivation of the Bloodthirsty Demon Sutra." Resentment is a double-edged sword for us, both beneficial and harmful. If there is no resentment boost, the cultivation effect of this Bloodthirsty Demon Sutra will not be satisfactory. Therefore, we must not abandon it because of the danger of resentment. The key is to find ways to effectively control grievances. ”
The three elders all nodded helplessly in agreement.
The eldest said suddenly, "The soul bell in Fluttershy's hand is a treasure. ”
Another old man hurriedly said, "Yes, as long as we have that soul bell, we don't have to worry about the recurrence of today's incident." ”
Grandma Shang had actually been working on this idea for a long time, and when she heard that the third elder also had this meaning, she suddenly perked up, and hurriedly said: "This is simple, the old body managed to get the soul bell." ”
The three elders of the merchant exchanged glances with each other, and naturally understood that such a treasure that was useful to the merchant castle was naturally to be kept for himself.
The eldest turned to Grandma Shang and asked, "What the hell is going on with this little girl, and why was she kicked out of Merchant Castle?"
Not to mention driving away a junior in the merchant castle, it is to kill one, as the owner of the castle, he also has this right. The three elders of the merchant are naturally familiar with this rule, and they usually don't bother with it. But today, this junior, because he has a baby in his hand that moves them, is so he cares.
The three elders of the merchant have a special identity and have been in a state of retreat, if it weren't for the resentment crisis today, Grandma Shang would not have alarmed them. As for Shang Xiaodie's matter, there was no need to inform the three elders. But now that they asked, they couldn't help but say it.
Of course, after all, the three elders have a noble status, and they have never asked about clan affairs. It doesn't hurt to tell them some secrets.
