Chapter 57 The Living Ghost
This change happened so suddenly that I had no time to react. I almost subconsciously caught the dog head in my arms. When I saw the dog head in my arms, I shuddered and threw it out.
The dog head was thrown to the ground by me. The night wind blew it and it rolled far away, leaving a scarlet blood line on the ground.
"Oh my god!"
I couldn't help but curse inwardly, thinking that it was no wonder that the dog could avoid the detection of so many local dogs and sneak in. It turned out that he had killed those local dogs in advance.
I took a deep breath and then slowly stood up. This time I did not continue to act recklessly. Instead, I sneered at the doghouse and said, "Do you think you can scare me like this? If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the same family as the yellow-skinned guys in the back mountain, right? Since you are from the same family, you should know my methods. The guy I killed last night should be your younger generation, right? Even he died in my hands. Tell me, if you continue to resist, what good will it end up like?"
I thought this yellow-skinned guy would continue to be a shrunken turtle, hiding in the doghouse and not daring to speak, but what I didn't expect was that after I finished speaking, it actually spoke.
Then I heard an old and hoarse voice: "Of course I know you. If I didn't know you, I wouldn't have come to you. A few days ago, you ruined my good deeds. If it weren't for you, I would have been included in the immortal class long ago."
I was shocked when I heard it, and blurted out a few words subconsciously: "Are you the yellow-skinned guy who asked for a title?"
"Heh, you keep calling me a yellow-skinned person. You are being disrespectful to me, you deserve to die!" The yellow-skinned person's voice was a little bit malicious, and he continued, "Also, you have not only ruined my chance of being included in the immortal class, but also my foundation. I don't want to make things too difficult for you this time. As long as you hand over the demon pill to me, I can return the yang energy of those two people. But if you don't, hehe... then I will exchange one demon pill for your two lives, which is not too bad!"
After hearing what the yellow-skinned person said, I frowned.
Last night, Hu Zi was almost hanged in the closet by a yellow-skinned person, and before leaving, the yellow-skinned person asked Hu Zi where he had hidden the demon pill.
Both Hu Zi and I were extremely puzzled. We did ruin the yellow-skinned beast's wish for a title, but to say that we stole its magic pill was absolutely groundless. But if
that was the case, why did the yellow-skinned beast keep chasing us and asking for the magic pill?
If it needed a reason to retaliate against us, then it would have been enough that we ruined its wish for a title. After all, it had been practicing for hundreds of years waiting for this day, but it was ruined by Hu Zi and I accidentally hitting it. This grudge was already irreconcilable, and it had no reason to fabricate that we stole its magic pill.
But then my heart skipped a beat, thinking to myself, "After Hu Zi and I foiled the yellow-skinned creature's attempt to obtain a title that day, we went straight down the mountain and returned to the village. But the yellow-skinned creature seemed to have fainted on the back hill. Could it be that someone took the opportunity to steal its magic pill? But...if that's the case, this yellow-skinned creature is really too bold, isn't it? It didn't even know that its magic pill was stolen?"
I couldn't help but shook my head, thinking that since the yellow-skinned creature had reached the time to seek a title, it must have practiced for at least a few hundred years, but now I seriously suspect that its practice for these few hundred years was all in vain.
But then again, who would be so courageous as to steal the magic pill of a yellow-skinned creature with great Taoist skills?
Just as I was frowning and thinking about it, the hoarse voice of the yellow-skinned man came out again.
"Why, you still don't want to hand it over? Okay, you have guts!" It laughed sinisterly: "My demon pill has been lost, and my Taoism has been lost. There is no point in living. Why don't I end my life now and die in this doghouse?"
I know that its words are purely threatening me. It is said that the older and longer people live, the more afraid of death they are. I don't believe it. A yellow-skinned man who has practiced for hundreds of years and is about to be ranked in the immortal class will die easily, let alone commit suicide. No one will believe it if I tell others.
But I have to say that its words, which seem to have no threat, just hit my soft spot.
Hu Zi and I are best brothers, and Hu Zi's grandmother is also Hu Zi's last relative in this world. If I really piss off this yellow-skinned beast, and it does something irreparable, then neither Hu Zi nor Hu Zi's grandmother will be able to regain their masculinity. By
then, Hu Zi and Hu Zi's grandmother will have to follow this yellow-skinned beast and be dragged along by it to be buried with it.
With this thought in mind, I took a deep breath, and then tried to make my tone sound more sincere, and said, "Huang...Great Immortal, is there any misunderstanding here? I admit that my friend and I did ruin your chance of getting a title that day, but we did not steal your demon pill. Could it be that after you fell unconscious, someone took the opportunity to take your demon pill and then put the blame on us?"
"Oh, do you think this Great Immortal is a three-year-old child?" It sneered, "Take away my demon pill while I was unconscious? Not to mention who can do it. Even if someone can do it, it is impossible for me to not notice it at all. And don't you think about why I suddenly came to you when I was asking for a title?"
"Why?" I couldn't help but ask.
"First, you have a special physique, and you are the descendant of the Yinren lineage, and the next living Yincha. Although a living Yincha is not a great immortal, it is also a Yincha with a Yin job. If you can personally ask for the title, then I will be recognized by a potential Yincha, and my future practice will surely be able to make rapid progress. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this great immortal has been wandering around the back mountain for a long time and found that there are only two living people in the whole back mountain. "People."
It seemed extremely weak. It panted after saying so many words in one breath, and then continued: "Such a big mountain, there are only two living people like you. If it wasn't you who took my magic pill, who else could it be? Don't try to argue with me anymore. Hand over my magic pill right now. Otherwise, I will perish with you, one pill for two lives!"
The words of this yellow-skinned creature shocked me. I widened my eyes and looked shocked.
"You said... what am I? The next living ghost messenger?" I couldn't help swallowing. Although I had never heard of a living ghost messenger, these words were easy to understand. Moreover, what this yellow-skinned creature said was very clear.
But, how come I didn't know about this?
Why would I be the next living ghost messenger?
"Haha, what's wrong? Don't you know that your master is the only living ghost in the world?"
