Chapter Seventy-Five: The Nodding Alliance
If Zhang Qian knew that this ghost had cultivated to the current realm, and had never relied on outsiders for half a point, it would not be as important as Yang Jiye, and the elixir was inexhaustible, I am afraid that he would be even more impressed.
However, although the qualification is predestined, but the acquired selfish power is heavier, and it is all up to his own creation, he is neither envious nor unhappy about it.
"I see. After he heard the reason, he just nodded, and then continued: "Since we have met, can the ghost friend explain the intention?"
"This hole is three thousand zhang down, then to the center of the earth, there is an underground crack, bordering the underworld, I have to go here to catch the evil ghost, practice a spell, but unfortunately the entrance of the crack is entrenched in a centipede, has been cultivated for nearly a thousand years, and devoured the underworld to escape from the evil ghost, over time it will be confused, I can't explain the reason with him, occupy the way, don't let me pass, I want to ask the junior brother to get rid of this demon. "The ghost does not rely on the power of outsiders, it is not that he lives in isolation and does not deal with people, but he does not receive the favor of Pingbai, he borrows the power of Zhang Qian, it must be because he has done it to him before, so it is not indebted to each other, just offset.
"Daoist cultivation realm should be much better than me, right? You can't be an enemy, what can I do?" Zhang Qian is not a warm-hearted person, especially if he still fights for life and death for others, he is even more interested.
The ghost naturally heard the polite refusal in his words, but he was not discouraged, and said: "I can't be an enemy, there is a reason, I am a teacher of Youyou Peak, I am good at exorcism and soul refining techniques, and I am still very good at dealing with cultivators, but there is nothing I can do about this poisonous insect, especially this centipede has devoured too many evil ghosts and souls for thousands of years, and it has the ability to restrain and immunize ghosts. The attainments above the law, the entire Xiaowei Cave Heaven can be out of its left and right, not more than five fingers, and the fire spell is just right to restrain this poisonous insect. β
"But I don't need to help you. Zhang Qian is not a hypocritical and cunning person, since he has no such intentions, he will not twist and pretend with him, so he simply confesses with him.
The ghost was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said with a slight disappointment: "I looked at the words and deeds of my Taoist friends, and I thought that he was a person who knew how to repay his kindness. β
"You have no grace to me. Zhang Qian glanced at him and said, "Taijing will definitely die, you stop him as you said, it's just icing on the cake, I don't need to repay you." β
The ghost shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that. β
Zhang Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "If you don't publicize this matter everywhere, it's not a favor, it's just that you and I don't have a grudge, if you threaten with this, then I don't mind that you and I will share life and death." β
The ghost still shook his head and said, "Two months ago, you took away a medicinal herb from Wanyuan Pavilion, you shouldn't have gotten it, but you took it smoothly and got a VIP token. β
Zhang Qian heard him mention it, and remembered that at this time, he didn't have much hope at that time, but things were unexpectedly smooth, and it was not clear at the time, but now it seems that this ghost gave him a love, although he was not very accepting of this kindness at the time, but at the beginning, the ghost could not have predicted today's events, and it was unlikely to be mixed with other thoughts, and it was really a small favor.
"Although I didn't say much about this matter, but my senior brother helped you like this and also saw my affection, but this favor still needs me to pay it back, which is also a favor. The ghost explained.
Zhang Qian nodded, and did not deny it: "The effort is also a favor, in this way, I do owe you a favor, but I will not help you today, and I will repay you this favor in the future." β
The ghost heard what he said, thought for a moment, and said: "In the future, I will also be a senior brother, and this favor will indeed only need to be done with a gesture, but if you help me deal with that centipede, it will not be easy, mutual payment is indeed not equal, my ghost never takes advantage of others in vain, so how about adding these two things, it must be useful to you." With that, he gently lifted the flag, and the lower end of the pole lightly tapped it three times on the ground.
The sound of iron flags hitting the rocks on the ground echoed in the cave, and the coolness around them was inexplicably heavier.
Zhang Qian didn't know what he meant by doing this, so he watched the changes, but after a while, he felt a gust of wind on the ground under his feet, and then the empty ground between the two suddenly sounded a cracking sound, and then something seemed to break through the ground, breaking the hard rock formation, and actually drilled out a craggy and strange head, only the size of a gourd, with sparse hair on the top, and a slanted eyebrow hanging eye, very ugly, and then showed a body, only the size of a full moon baby, the hole became bigger and bigger, and then four ugly villains of the same size came out of it, and the five people were covered with a chain of little finger thickness around their necks, which were strung together from end to endγ
The five villains worked together to drag two things, one was the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda that he had refined with fire, and the other was the dark copper on the rock wall.
Zhang Qian was slightly surprised, this ghost method was indeed wonderful enough, and in just a moment, he pulled back the two things he had left behind, knowing that the two places were more than ten miles apart.
"The five ghosts are carrying, just a small means. The ghost said casually.
"Oh. Zhang Qian stretched out his voice, nodded, but said: "But what is the point of Daoyou's move to offer Buddha with flowers?"
"How? The ghost looked at him.
"I killed Taijing, these two things thought they were in my pocket, but I didn't go to pick them up for the time being, and the Taoist friends helped me get them, and then gave them back, isn't it ridiculous. Zhang Qian's words were cold.
The ghost shook his head and said, "If I want to take this thing, how can you easily get it, it will not be considered in your pocket." β
Domineering, even a little unreasonable, but not pretentious.
Zhang Qianyan just laughed when he heard this, he was not weak, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "I said before that I didn't want to take advantage of others, and when I wanted to rob at this time, it seemed that I was just a duplicitous person. β
"Taking advantage of others is unearned, but I snatch it from you, but I get it by my own efforts. The ghost excused himself, making clear the difference.
Zhang Qianyan was too lazy to argue with him when he heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of cold murderous intent, and said: "I see that you also have your own reasons, can you have this grudge with me today?" Now my strength is indeed a little inferior, and I just killed the three of Taijing, consuming a lot of Yuan Jing, and I know that I can't help you, I don't want to talk nonsense, I can't stop you if you want to take these two things, take it away, but if you don't leave my life here today, I will take revenge in the future, my words have already explained, if you insist on this, I will turn around and leave, it depends on whether you keep me or not. The words fell, the wind rose, and the hair fluttered silently.
The ghost was slightly stunned, carefully looked at the person in front of him, and after a while, he gradually restrained his killing intent, and with a wave of his hand, the five-headed imp threw the two things in his hand.
"You go on, what price does it take to help me. β
Naturally, he would not be afraid of Zhang Qian's threat, but as he said, it would be no good for others or himself.
Previously, Zhang Qian and Zhantai Jing fought the method, the whole process fell into his eyes, and he also knew that this person had some details, and his strength was still sure to deal with it, but this person's will was too firm, and the soul refining method he was best at might not have much impact on him, so he was really not completely sure that he would leave it, even if he could succeed, I was afraid that he would have to pay some price, which would be contrary to his original intention.
He went deep into the ground not to fight with people, but to lure the evil spirits of the underworld, and if he was injured, the trip would be in vain.
The ghost has achieved such an achievement in cultivation with his own strength alone, and there must be intelligent people, and such things that have no benefit but only harm, and are only for the sake of the battle of will, naturally they will not do it.
Moreover, after many years of practice, the heart has already been cultivated, and he can already be happy and angry, or he has no thoughts of joy and anger, and he will not be angry because of Zhang Qian's words.
Zhang Qian is not a person who is entangled, seeing that he no longer mentions the previous matter, and hands over the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda and the Dark Copper to himself, he is to make concessions, and gradually rein in the killing machine, he wanted to refuse, and then the two drew a clear line on this, there was nothing to do with grievances, but they thought of something, so they said: "If you want me to help you, you can, people are not omnipotent, I will remove the centipede that blocks the way for you, and you solve a trouble for me." β
"Who?" asked the ghost.
"The White Bone Dao Man. Zhang Qian said bluntly.
"Disobedient offender!" the ghost was straightforward, but this did not represent his position, and without much consideration, he said: "Yes, but I can only help you, and you need to kill him yourself." β
"It's just killing and killing, and you don't need to bear too much pressure, I have my own opinions on this matter, but the odds are not clear, so I borrow your power to seek perfection. Zhang Qian saw that he agreed, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared.
After explaining his requirements to him, seeing that he nodded, he did not object, but also nodded.
Both of them disdain to play tricks, so naturally there is no need to set up any written evidence, which is equivalent to making a covenant.
