Chapter 19: The Alchemist

, two know how long. Lin Zhongyu woke up in a daze, but there was a dark cave in front of him.

It's like a late night, boundless.

He tried to move, but felt that he was tripped by a cold hard object under his feet. Looking down, I saw that there were huge dark black chains on my feet, which were firmly embedded in the stone wall.

And his own arms are also locked in heavy chains.

He opened his mouth to shout, but found that he could not make a sound.

At this moment, an old voice came.

"Mei'er, why are you here? Don't you want you to go back to the underworld?

"Hmm, Father is asking you, where is the medicine?" Nightfury stared at Nightglow, waiting for an answer.

Nightglow bit the corners of her mouth, lowered her head and looked at the face at her feet, without saying a word.

"You, you let the human go? You say?" Night Fury's voice raised, a hint of anger on his face.

At this time, Night Charm finally stepped forward and took two steps. When he came to Night Fury, he raised his head and said, "Father." Leave him alone, he saved my life!"

"Save you, can my father really let that ghost hurt you? It's good that he doesn't come, and if he comes, it will ruin my big thing!" Night Fury said at the end, flicking his sleeves. There is an aftermath of the words.

"Father, I know, do you want me to become a ghost clan so much? Don't you care about it?" asked with a sad grief on the night ghost's beautiful face.

When Ye Fury heard this, his two eyebrows were raised, the green fire in his eyes jumped, and he said loudly: "What kind of tone are you, are you talking to your father?

Nightglow shook her head as she listened to Nightrage's words. While retreating, he said bitterly: "I know, I know, father, you are for my good." But I don't want to be a ghost, and I don't want to be defiled by that murderous and ugly ghost! If so, I'd rather be like my mother, and never wake up!"

"Do you still dare to mention your mother?" Night Fury's dark face twitched, and then snapped!

Under a clear handprint, blood flowed from the corner of Night Charm's mouth. But because she saw blood, the emotions that had been hidden in her heart were like a volcano erupting.

I saw her take a step forward and cry out to the night, "Why can't I mention it? My dear mother. If you regret it, you shouldn't have pulled your mother down from the world in the first place. Otherwise, how could she be half dead?"

"You..."

The tall body of the Ghost Venerable Night Fury trembled after hearing the Night Phantom's words, and raised his arms high again, while the Night Phantom raised his head and waited quietly for his father's palm to land. Night Fury's hand fell into the sky above Night Charm's face, but it was suddenly retracted, and his tall figure seemed to grow old all of a sudden.

He looked into the distance, sighed deeply, seemed to remember the past, and said, "Yes, it's my fault." If it weren't for me. How did your mother come from the earthly world to this boundless dark ghost world? I won't have you because of my recklessness. When your mother conceived you, it was a human womb. If she becomes a ghost, you won't live. And when I gave birth to you, it was a difficult birth, the city was full of ghost doctors, helpless, and by the time I invited Sai Huayi in the mortal world, your mother had already lost seven rescues" Night Charm listened to her father's tears rolling down. Growing up, his mother never said a word to him or hugged her once. It's just that compared to the ghost baby in the city, he is not as good.

When Night Fury saw this, he couldn't help but feel sad. Looking at the sad and weeping appearance of the night ghost. I can't blame it anymore for a while.

"You say that he is your benefactor, and you let him go. What's the difference between killing him? Where is there a way to the earthly world in the boundless ghost world, even if there is, how can it be found by a person in the earthly world, and it will be torn apart by the powerful ghost wherever he goes. If you insist on this, just leave it to fate. But don't let me see him in the future, I think he is not weak, and his soul may make your mother wake up, not necessarily. Come back to the city with me!"

Saying that, the night rage went away.

Nightshade stood there for a moment, knowing that her father's figure had disappeared in the distance.

Only then did he collect his feelings and hurriedly turned around. Walked into a cave in the mountains, and when I went in, I saw that Lin Zhongyu had woken up.

Night Charm silently walked over to Lin Zhongyu and went out to chain it, and put it on Lin Zhongyu's throat and pointed lightly.

Lin Zhongyu coughed twice and was about to speak, but Ye Mei said, "Childe, I'm really sorry." I think you heard the conversation between me and my father. What is Childe's plan?"

Lin Zhongyu looked at the Night Charm, looked at it carefully, and secretly wondered: "This is indeed a human woman in front of you, and is she really in some ghost realm now?" Hearing the Night Charm's words, she said, "Night, Night Girl." Is this really a ghost world?"

The first time Night Charm heard someone call herself like this, and the people of the ghost world always called her by her name, and her face turned red and nodded.

"Is there a way out??"

At this time, Night Charm shook her head and said, "I don't know either!"

After Lin Zhongyu heard this, he was suddenly gloomy.

Seeing Lin Zhongyu's appearance, Ye Mei said, "You have something important, do you want to do it?"

Lin Zhongyu pinched the small jade pendant in his hand and touched the jade net bottle in his arms. Nodding his head, he said, "Yes, something very important!"

"I don't know the way out, but I heard that the Huanyang Road in the reincarnation city is the fastest way to the world. But with the permission of the Ghost Emperor, and the reincarnation city is guarded by thousands of ghosts, the ghost clan who wait for a little bit of leisure will not be able to get through at all, besides, you are a human being, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reach the reincarnation city!"

Lin Zhongyu could have gone out with a game and Yang Dao." But I heard the back. Suddenly I was excited and my heart sank ※

I don't know how many ghosts there are in this ghost world, and I don't know how many sinister things there are. I'm just afraid that I'm a little sad.

Seeing Lin Zhongyu's appearance, Ye Mei said quietly: "You don't have to be discouraged, I know that there is another way, do you want to try?"

"Girl, please speak!"

"Among the four ghost towns of our Heavenless Ghost Realm. Every day, countless unjust souls hover and wander, all waiting for the call of the reincarnation heavenly disk, ready to reincarnate in the human world at any time. But because there are so many unjust souls in the human world every day, each ghost has to stay in the city for a certain period of time. or a day or a year. Night Charm took a step forward when she said this, and said to Lin Zhongyu: "You must know that after the death of people in the world, there are first seven. 100 days. ”

Lin Zhongyu nodded, he did know that there was such a custom after the death of people on the Moon Desolate Continent, where did he think it was true at that time. I just thought it was a legend, but I didn't think that I really came to the ghost world now. I actually heard about it again.

Seeing that Lin Zhongyu had understood his words, Night Charm continued: "The first seven days, the origin of the hundred days. It is precisely because the operation of the reincarnation heavenly disk is slow and uncertain, and the ghosts residing in the ghost world are somewhat unpredictable. Those new ghosts who just died. If in the seventh year after death, you have not been led away by the heavenly disk of reincarnation, you will have a chance to go home. But in each of our ghost towns, there are only eighteen Patrol Talismans that can lead ghosts through the dark sky to reach the Yang Realm. If you can win a Sun Patrol Talisman in the "Return to Soul Fight" competition that takes place every seven years, it is not certain that you will be able to return to the Yang Realm in the fastest time!"

"What, seven years?" Lin Zhongyu's eyes widened.

Night Charm said: "What? Isn't it very fast? It's not impossible for you to go to Reincarnation City from us, but you have to cross the Huangquan Road." Nai He Bridge, Bailuo River, do you know how much time it takes?"

Lin Zhongyu shook his head.

Night Charm continued, "I heard my father say that he saw the Ghost Emperor the fastest time recently. It's taken twelve years, and his cultivation is much higher than yours..."

After hearing this, Lin Zhongyu only felt that five thunders were on the top. Seven years, twelve years? Do I really want to stay here for two years? Thinking of this, he felt that his whole body had no strength, and he turned and walked out of the cave.

After a while, the ghost chased after him from behind and said, "By the way, I forgot one thing, when the night charm saw Lin Zhongyu's appearance, she suddenly remembered one thing and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you something." It's been five years since the last back to the Contra competition. There are two more years left and you can go back. ”

Lin Zhongyu's color looked a little better after hearing this. "Two years?" he whispered to himself, "Two years?" he sighed inwardly as he looked up at the endlessly dark sky above. Perhaps a lot of things had changed by then, and they couldn't even be touched.

Thinking of Lin Zhongyu here, he didn't know where to go for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

Lin Zhongyu lowered his head and walked into the dark distance, only to feel a high and low under his feet, and a cold wind blowing, he couldn't help coughing a few times.

That ghost is really harmful.

I saw that in the darkness ahead, there were distant mountains, and I didn't know how many lonely souls and wild ghosts were hidden in it.

At this moment, suddenly there was a sound of clothes in the back. But the night charm came in the wind, and I don't know when she took off the red wedding dress outside and changed into a green dress.

There was a faint glow in the darkness.

"By the way, Childe, I forgot to tell you a happy event just now!"

Lin Zhongyu looked at the beautiful fairy-like woman in the darkness. Secretly said: "What else is happy for me?" said with a very bitter smile: "What?"

"Have you ever heard the saying that one year in the ghost world is one day in the earthly world? The meaning of this sentence is that a year in our ghost world is a day in the earthly world, so you don't have to be discouraged, the time you wait here for two years is just two days in the earthly world. ”

The voice of this night charm sounded in Lin Zhongyu's ears like heavenly shoes, and he even had a feeling of wanting to cry.

Then he turned and strode away.

But I only heard the soft voice of the night charm come again: "Childe, I forgot to tell you one thing, you are not familiar with ghosts, and instead of running around, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not meet some evil sneakers." Why don't you go back to Hades with me? Find a place outside the city to practice for a year, and prepare to return to the Contra competition

The Desolate Continent, the Heavenless Ghost Realm, outside the Underworld.

A vast mountain of bones, creeping outside the city of the underworld. The thick pile of white bones stretches on and doesn't know if there is an end.

On these mountains of white bones, there are countless black spikes, neither grass nor wood. It's like bamboo, dark like paint, and it's very weird.

In front of him sat a white-haired boy in an open land of bones, with a faint white light flickering on his body.

The yin wind came lightly, blowing his white hair, but I saw that his face was calm and quiet. Unconsciously he had already stood up, but the strange thing was that his eyes were closed, but he could see the things around him, and he picked a relatively clean huge white bone among the chaotic bones and sat down, snorting.

A slight smile appeared on his face.

I only heard a soft voice say: "Brother Lin, your "ghost skills" have been practiced well. ”

Lin Zhongyu smiled slightly after hearing this, then opened his warm eyes, looked at the emerald figure in the ink bamboo forest in front of him and said, "Hehe, take care of Princess Night Charm." I can basically use the method of internal breath to see the surrounding scenery now, and I believe that I will not be recognized in the Soul Fighting competition. ”

Night Charm came to the forest and put a bamboo swallow on the ground and said, "Brother Lin, didn't I want to yell at me to call Mei'er, why don't you want to? A pitiful look.

Lin Zhongyu hurriedly said: "Mei'er, I remember." I'll call you Mei'er from now on. ”

Lin Zhongyu has been in the White Bone Mountain of the Underworld City for nearly a year, and he has become acquainted with the Night Ghost. Lin Zhongyu is eighteen years old, and Night Charm is twenty years old and slightly older. But Lin Zhongyu couldn't accept it at any time when he thought of "one year in the ghost world and one day in the earthly world", Night Charm, the "eldest sister" who was only born "twenty days"

Night Ghost lives in a ghost town, where have I seen a human on weekdays, and now I meet a human of a similar age. The girl's nature is gradually revealed. She also knew that she was only twenty days old compared to Lin Zhongyu, so she asked Lin Zhongyu to call her Mei'er. She called Lin Zhongyu as Brother Linfu.

But it's really big enough, eighteen years and twenty days are not comparable at all. I don't think that the elder is a brother, but it is the truth of human beings. But Lin Zhongyu, who came from the world, felt extremely awkward. Every time I see Ye Mei's heart, there is always a feeling that the bones are more and more in my throat.

Seeing Lin Zhongyu admit his mistake and beautiful face, Ye Mei immediately smiled. Clapped your hands and said, "Now that you realize your mistake, let's start eating!

Lin Zhongyu's originally smiling face suddenly turned into a bitter melon. It turned out that the night charm heard that in the earthly world of the Moon Desolate Continent, the woman was in the house, and the man was outside. The wives cook, wash, and weave, while the husbands go out to work and farm. This is what Lin Zhongyu said casually, not wanting to be remembered by the night ghost. Since then, he has to cook for Lin Zhongyu every day. And secretly sent from the city of Hades.

Night Charm has almost never stayed in the human world, and the things that can be eaten by humans in this ghost world are even more strange, I don't know how many kinds.

According to Lin Zhongyu's narration, the night ghost was in the underworld, and repeated trials and screenings. I finally found a few things to replace the food in the yang world, such as ghost rice. rye, vermilion and so on.

In the process of Princess Night Charm creating an unprecedented human meal in the ghost world, Lin Zhongyu adhered to the spirit of Shennong tasting a hundred herbs and made indelible contributions to Princess Night Charm's experiment.

I don't know if this will last forever and be immortal.

But since the adventure in the Sword Mother Peak of Qitiansu Mountain. Lin Zhongyu's stomach is like an iron beating, and if he eats poison, he will have a sore stomach at most, and he will be sad for a few days, and he will still be alive and kicking in the future.

This discovery was made on the third day after Lin Zhongyu lamented the progress of Night Charm's cooking skills, and Night Charm "didn't care" to put the "Soul Flying Scattering and Fluttering Immortal Scattering" that could be poisoned by ghosts in Lin Zhongyu's rice, three dishes and one soup.

At that time, Lin Zhongyu foamed at the mouth, and almost "drove the crane to the west" and really became a good citizen in the ghost world. Yemei said while crying pear blossoms with rain: "Lin, Lin, Brother Lin, I used to be half a catty, and you ate with relish." Why do you eat a pound this time, you are excited like this, "Woo woo!"

Lin Zhongyu shivered in the coma, spurted out a mouthful of blood and landed on the surrounding sparkling white bones, and after a while, it turned into a puff of green smoke and ascended to the sky.

Night Charm looked at the bursts of green smoke and graceful in the world, and was sighing that maybe the clouds and fog in the world that Lin Zhongyu said were similar to this smoke, and I really didn't know how beautiful it was when I saw it with my own eyes.

How fresh the earthly air is. How blue the sky is, how vast the sea is. How many beautiful men are there above the moon waste?

While she was thinking wildly, Lin Zhongyu stood up like a corpse, and then meditated. His face gradually recovered.

Night Charm clapped her hands and shouted, "Brother Lin, high!

Since then, Lin Zhongyu's meals have never been missing, the corpses of cockroaches and rats, for Lin Zhongyu, it is not poison, it is meat. As long as the night charm does not fall under the poison of the ghost world. Lin Zhongyu will be collected in full according to the regulations.

It is strange that it seems that the same poison was eaten by Lin Zhongyu once. The effect of eating again is not so obvious. Even if it's the poison of the ghost world, it's the same.

But if it doesn't take too much, Night Charm will have the courage to try another poison, so Lin Zhongyu will start a painful and bitter process again. What he didn't know was that it was because of his stimulation that the Night Ghost had defeated the most famous Demon Cup Poison Saint in the Underworld.

Because of Lin Zhongyu's help in testing medicine, the night ghost has entered the realm of ghost poison day by day, which can't help but make the night angry old man feel very relieved, and he hasn't been urging the night ghost to become a ghost soon.

On this day, Lin Zhongyu saw that the color in the bamboo basket was delicious. Under the reflection of the white bones below, it is beautiful to be red and red. It was a distress, and he secretly said, "It's over, it's over today, I look at the color of the dish so good, and the style is so good." It must have changed to another strange poison! Hey, the red face is thin, and he should be like this!"

It doesn't matter what he thinks.

Night Charm, who was on the side, saw Lin Zhongyu's hesitant appearance and said, "Why Brother Lin, you don't like me... Stir-fried dishes?" Lin Zhongyu hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I like it." Like. Mei'er, you look at this cockroach in size. It is round and plump, and the color on the outside is bright, so it must have added a lot of thousands of intestines to break the poison and the fierce ghost to pierce the heart!"

Night Charm's cheeks flushed, and she squatted beside Lin Zhongyu. said: "Many, you know nonsense, people don't use those little poisons anymore." This time, it's the Eternal Life Pill, which is just a 10,000-year-old zombie brain!!"
