Volume 1 Candlelight Chapter 13 Substitute for the Ghost King (continued)
"I surrender, I surrender, don't kill me!" said the Dead Ghost King as he lay on the ground with his hands folded and begged for mercy.
This scene surprised Bai Candle a little, squatted down and asked, "You are also a ghost king, why don't you have any backbone." ”
"What kind of backbone do I need for a dead ghost? I have been cultivating for so long to be lucky enough to have my senses, I don't want to end up with a soul scattered now. Said as a matter of course for the Dead Ghost King.
"It seems that the ghosts in this hell are not as terrible as they imagined. White Candle quipped as he fiddled with the sharp fangs of the Dead Ghost King.
"I am willing to surrender to you, but I have one request, no...... It should be said that it is a request, and I hope you will agree. The Dead Ghost King's eyes rolled, and he didn't know what he thought, so he spoke.
"Your current life and death are in my thoughts, if I don't agree to your request, what will you do?" Bai Candle's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth curled dangerously.
The Dead Ghost King was terrified, for fear that he would not even have a chance to speak, so he hurriedly said: "If you don't agree, I will naturally die, but you will miss a great opportunity!"
"Oh, interesting, I'd like to hear from you, what kind of chance it is?" asked White Candle with interest.
"I can only tell you one person, you let that kid go!" said the Dead Ghost King, turning his head with difficulty, pointing at Lu Dengtai.
Since the substitute ghost king was subdued by the white candle, and the surrounding substitute ghosts were not attacking, Lu Dengtai had no other serious problems except for a few more flesh wounds on his body.
"Senior Brother Bai, don't listen to this ghost and gossip to confuse the public, I can't leave, what if you have an accident if I leave. These ghosts are very evil, and the devil knows what other means they have!" Lu Dengtai said with a vicious glaring at the Dead Ghost King.
However, Lu Dengtai smiled contemptuously for the Dead Ghost Dynasty: "If I really have any means, what if you stay? If it wasn't for the master who has been protecting you just now, you would have been torn to pieces by my ghost babies a long time ago!"
Master, when did I become the master of this Dead Ghost King?"
"Senior Brother Lu, you go outside the black fog and wait for me for a while, I want to hear what this ghost has to say. White Candle gestured.
Seeing that the white candle had spoken, Lu Dengtai didn't want to say anything more, took off the soul refining gourd and sucked the substitute ghost killed by the two of them into it, and then hugged his fist slightly towards the white candle and walked out.
"Well, it's just you and me here now...... No, I'm the only one here now, what tricks do you want to play?" Bai Zhu got up, waved his long sleeves, and dispersed the Heaven-Shattering Technique.
Without the suppression of the golden giant finger, the Dead Ghost King jumped up directly from the ground. Instinctively, he wanted to escape, but as soon as this thought appeared, he was stifled by life.
You can't run, you can't escape, you'll die!
"Hey, hey, hey......" tried to make himself smile kinder for the Dead Ghost King, but the fangs in his mouth combined with this exaggerated smile looked even weirder.
"Just talk, don't be disgusting!" The corners of Bai Candle's disgusted mouth trembled, just ugly, and deliberately sold cuteness, who can stand this.
"Master, your cultivation is more powerful than that of monks in the same realm, so I am willing to surrender to you. But I hope you can promise me that when you reach the stage of the Underworld, let me become your natal Demon!"
"Is this what you call a great chance?" asked White Candle with a little crying and laughing.
On the eighteenth layer of hell, the lower the level of the ghosts, the more powerful they are, and most of the people of the Netherworld are selected from the fifth layer of hell during the promotion of the ghost stage.
For the dead ghost, to put it bluntly, among these countless ghosts, he is the existence at the bottom, and no one will choose him as the natal ghost. It's not just the ghosts of the dead, as long as it's the ghosts of the first three layers of hell, they will basically be directly abandoned by the Netherworlds.
However, the Substitute Ghost King did not feel funny, but said with a sad expression: "Master, do you know why the substitute ghost was born? We, the substitute ghosts, were all miserable people in our lives, and we should not have died, but we became the scapegoats of others and had to die!"
"So the resentment and hatred in our hearts are very heavy, so we don't want to forget the hatred of our previous lives, one day, two days, three days...... The more time passed, the stronger our resentment grew, and then we became substitutes in this hell......"
"I can't remember what my name is, or how long I've been wandering in this hell, until ten days ago, when I was promoted to the rank of Substitute Ghost King, and gradually gained my consciousness. ”
"The ghosts in this hell, each type has a different natal supernatural power. Like that hanged ghost, who can manipulate the white cloth to bind the enemy, and the money cabinet ghost, who is born with a sense of treasures, and the hanging boot ghost who was driven to the outskirts of hell by me, the yin wind of the yellow spring that blows can directly take away the vitality......"
"And the natal supernatural power we have for the dead ghost is -- to be receiving! To put it more bluntly, we can die in place of our host! If the master makes a contract with me to make me your natal ghost in the future, it is equivalent to giving you an extra life! Isn't this a great opportunity?"
Substitute for the dead - for the dead!
The white candle's pupils fluttered, and that was because she was too nervous. If what the Dead Ghost King said is true, then this is really a great creation!
"If the ghost of the dead really has such magical powers, why don't my Netherworld people know about it all along?" Bai Candle stared at the ghost king of the dead, trying to see some flaws in the other party's dark eyes.
"Master, you Netherworld people have not been in this hell for a long time, and the eighteenth layer of hell has only set foot in the fifth layer so far. ”
"In addition, when you Netherworld people concluded the contract, they all chose the ghosts of the fourth or fifth layer of hell, and no one cared about us little ghosts who were weak in cultivation. ”
"And the weaker the cultivation of ghosts, the more difficult it is to give birth to a ghost king with sanity, even if it is a substitute ghost king who has been born, he will choose to hide his natural supernatural powers because he doesn't want to repeat his fate before death (to die on behalf of others). ”
"The combination of these complex reasons has led to your Nether Clan still not knowing about our supernatural powers for the dead ghosts. Hehe, if they knew, I'm afraid even your Hades Emperor would have to come to this first layer of hell to arrest him personally. Where will it be your turn to be the juniors of the underworld?"
Bai Zhu didn't seem to be faking the expression of the Substitute Ghost King, but after all, no one had verified it, and he couldn't conclude it for a while, so he asked again: "If, as you said, the Substitute Ghost King who was born in the past doesn't want to repeat his previous fate, then why are you willing to become my contract ghost?"
The Dead Ghost King stretched out his scarlet and barbed tongue, licked his chapped lips, and said, "Because your strength far surpasses that of fellow cultivators, I think you can live longer." Moreover, I don't want to stay in this rotten, damp and dark world anymore, I want to go to the sun with you and be happy, hehehe......"
Bai Zhu was silent for a moment, and quietly asked in his heart, "Senior Mo, what he said is true?"
After a while, the voice of Mo Qilin suddenly appeared in Bai Candle's mind: "I have never been in contact with the underworld before, and I really don't know about the matter of the underworld. ”
At the moment, you can only make your own decisions......
