Chapter 91 The Jade Pendant Protects the Master
"Thousand-year-old ghost?"
After hearing Xiaoqian's words, my expression suddenly changed, and my heart trembled again and again.
My master once told me that there are many kinds of ghosts.
There are ghosts who died suddenly, ghosts who died unjustly, ghosts who died by hanging, ghosts who died in water, and ghosts who are persecuted and whose resentment cannot be eliminated after death, and they turn into ghosts who want to take lives, etc. Among
these ghosts, the ghosts who want to take lives are the most ferocious, but there is another kind that is dozens of times more ferocious than the ghosts who want to take lives.
And that kind of ghost is the thousand-year-old ghost!
The so-called thousand-year-old ghost means that this ghost has existed for thousands of years. During these thousands of years, it has continuously devoured ghosts to strengthen itself. Its own yin and death energy have become so dense that it is unimaginable.
Moreover, each thousand-year-old ghost is very skilled, and has countless little ghosts following him. It is not an exaggeration to call them ghost kings.
At this moment, a thousand-year-old ghost actually came here, wanting to borrow the corpse of Hu Zi's grandmother to revive?
I swallowed my saliva with a "gulp", and beads of cold sweat flowed down my forehead, blurring my eyes, but I stared at the window with my eyes wide open without even blinking.
"This body is very suitable for me, hehe, it's really a case of looking for it everywhere, but it's easy to get it!"
As the hoarse voice fell, I saw an old lady holding a cane and hunched over, floating along the window.
The reason why I say it floated in is because its hair is too long, hanging down to its feet, so people can't see its feet moving. When
it walks, it seems to be floating. When it entered the house, all the seven-star life-saving lamps jumped violently. Seeing this, it grinned and then turned to look at me.
“Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being Zhang Du'e's disciple. At such a young age, you can actually perform the Seven Star Life-Extending Method. Not bad, not bad. It's a pity that you are still a little green.” It sneered and said, “Boy, remember in the future, when you perform the Seven Star Life-Extending Secret Method, you need to set up a large array around you first. Otherwise, countless ghosts will rush to snatch this ownerless body. It's lucky that you met me. With me here, those wandering ghosts dare not come here without permission. Otherwise, this room would probably be full of ghosts now.”
As it spoke, it stared at me with its cloudy eyes.
This thousand-year-old ghost looked like a frail old lady. It was not tall, had a hunched back, held a cane, wore an ancient gown, and had messy hair that hung down to its feet.
There was also a thick aura of gloom and death around it. Just standing there, I was frightened and my scalp went numb, and goose bumps appeared all over my body.
"Don't be afraid, young man. I came for this body, not for you. Besides, Zhang Du'e and I are old acquaintances. Although we had an unpleasant experience, I would not attack a young man like you. After I seize this body, I will leave immediately. After all, I can't keep a secret from the Xu family's village protection formation." After
it finished speaking, it grinned, turned around, and went straight to Hu Zi's grandmother.
It walked very slowly. Wherever it passed, all the seven-star life-saving lamps were extinguished, and even the main lamp in Hu Zi's hand began to jump violently.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw this. I immediately made up my mind and rushed to the thousand-year-old ghost. I whispered, "Senior, this is my friend's grandmother. If you take her away, I won't be able to explain to my friend. Can we make a deal? Just give my master a favor and let my friend's grandmother go?"
"Give your master a favor? Ha." It opened its mouth, smiled at me sinisterly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Twenty years ago, your master hunted me for a whole month. If I hadn't finally hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, I would have been beaten to death by your master with the soul-guiding flag. I'm not bothering you, which is already enough for you. You want me to give your master a favor and let this body go?"
I was shocked when I heard it. I thought to myself, my god, this old ghost actually has a grudge against my master?
What the hell, how can we talk about this?
But since we can't talk...
For a moment, I was thinking about it, then I smiled and said, "Senior, you can have this body, but I must tell you the truth."
"Boy, if you have something to say, just say it quickly. I don't have that much time to waste with you. I am being chased by the underworld. If I attract the underworld and a fight breaks out, not only will you be implicated, but even that little ghost will be taken away by the underworld." It said, and pointed at Xiaoqian who was hiding and trembling in fear.
But I was stunned after hearing what it said.
It was actually being chased by the underworld?
What the hell, this old ghost is something, being chased by the underworld, and actually has the leisure to run here to snatch other people's bodies?
Those who could do such a thing were either very skilled in Taoism and didn't take the Yinchai seriously at all,
or they were just careless.
And since this old ghost was being chased by the Yinchai, he was obviously one of those people with a careless heart.
I took a deep breath and then said, "Senior, you should be able to see that this body does not have much time left. If you abandon this body, you may die again in two years at most, or a few months at least. By then, your body will have just died, your soul will be unstable, and the underworld will come to capture your soul. Even if you want to escape, you will not be able to."
"Hehe." After hearing what I said, it smiled playfully and said, "You don't need to worry about this. Since I dare to come to seize it, I must have a foolproof plan. Just say you're done, then get out of here and don't delay my business."
After that, it raised the cane in its hand and hit me on the head.
I was prepared. When it raised its cane, I clenched my sword finger and shouted loudly. I took a step forward and hit it on the forehead with one finger.
When I was talking to it just now, I had been secretly accumulating strength. At this moment, almost all my blood and energy were concentrated on my middle finger.
I saw that my middle finger turned red, just like a piece of red-hot iron. It not only exuded a strong murderous intent, but also a scorching temperature.
"Tsk tsk, you dare to attack me, you are really impatient to live."
It snorted coldly, and then its figure flashed, and it disappeared in front of me in an instant.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw this, and then I felt a gust of cold wind blowing from behind me. I didn't have time to think about it, and I immediately rushed forward.
But in the end, I was still a step too late.
I only felt a pain in my back, and it was the old ghost's cane that stabbed me hard in the back.
Almost at the moment when the crutch touched my body, I immediately felt that the blood in my body seemed to start to flow backwards. The Yang Qi in my body began to gather at the back of my heart, and then quickly flowed out of my body along the crutch.
"It is devouring my Yang Qi?"
My expression changed drastically, and I wanted to resist, but the wisps of Yin Qi were constantly transmitted into my body along the crutch, and instantly froze my body. .7
"What should I do!"
I widened my eyes, full of fear.
This is a thousand-year-old ghost. The number of people who died in its hands or the ghosts it devoured can be said to be countless. It can be said that one more of me would not be too much, and it didn't seem to intend to let me go.
My body was getting colder and colder, and I was losing more and more Yang. Just as my face turned pale and I was shivering with cold air, a dazzling blood-red light suddenly emanated from my chest.
As the light emanated, a hot breath immediately spread around.
My eyes widened instantly, because the one emitting the blood-red light and hot breath was actually the jade pendant that Widow Wang gave me!
