Chapter 96
Come to the backyard.
The backyard is not very spacious, but it is neat and quiet.
There are not many things here, there is a well, a table, tea sets on the table, and a small stove for burning firewood.
The old gatekeeper stood by the well, and I followed him to the well and said, "Thank you for helping me."
"You don't have to thank me, I'm just entrusted by someone." The old man who guarded the gate said lightly, looking at the well.
When I heard this, I was a little surprised and asked quickly: "Are you entrusted by someone? Who entrusted by you?"
Among the people I know, I really don’t know who can invite this old man. Besides, I don’t know many people in Donghai City.
"Your master." The old man in the gatekeeper's tone was still plain.
But I was a little surprised. I turned to look at the old man and asked quickly, "Do you know my master? He also asked you to save me?"
I didn't expect that he actually knew my master, and my master asked him to save me.
Then how did my master know that I was in danger? Why didn’t he come by himself? I was a little confused.
"Nonsense, otherwise I'll be idle!" The old man who guarded the gate said angrily:
"This Ming Street is a battlefield. I will not pay attention to anyone fighting here, regardless of life or death."
"Ming Street is a battlefield?" I don't know why the old man said that Ming Street is a battlefield.
"Don't you know? Old Man Hua didn't tell you? Don't you know what the Demonic Deed is?" The old man who guarded the gate said in surprise.
"I, I don't know, my master has never mentioned it to me, why does the master have to tell me these?" I was a little confused by the old man's series of questions.
But when I said this, I suddenly thought of the ripples I saw that night, and the entire Nether Street seemed to be protected by some barrier.
This Ming Street is already mysterious, and the old man's words aroused my curiosity. I looked at him quietly and waited for him to give me an answer.
The old man looked up at the sky and said slowly: "The underworld is the entrance to the demon world, the gateway connecting the demon world and the human world, and I am the gatekeeper guarding this gateway."
It turned out that the old man was guarding the gate of the demon world. No wonder he called himself the gatekeeper. If he could guard the demon gate, how strong would he be? I can't imagine.
The old man paused and continued: "This Nether Street is also a battlefield, a Nether Arena. Those who die here, their bodies and souls will be absorbed to strengthen the barrier. I am also the current controller of this battlefield."
I thought, no wonder so many people died that night, and I didn't see a soul flying out, and it turned out that they were all absorbed.
The bodies of those people were also absorbed by the Nether Street.
But I soon asked again, "But what is the Ming Qi you just mentioned?"
"Ming Qi." The old man suddenly touched his pocket, handed me a black sign, and said, "This is Mis Qi."
I reached out to take it and looked it carefully. No matter how I saw it, it was just an ordinary piece of wood, and there was nothing special about it.
"What's the use of this thing?" I asked.
"It can be said that it is a life-and-death contract. When you are in the Nether Street, as long as two people inject their soul power into it, unless one of them dies, neither of them will be able to leave the Nether Street.
Generally, those who come here to fight will never stop. Many disciples of the sect know about these things, why didn’t Old Man Hua tell you?"
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at me with contempt.
I completely ignored his expression and continued to ask, "What if one party doesn't want to come? I know I can't beat him, who will come to die?"
"Because as long as one party comes to me and buys the Demonic Creation with me, the other party cannot refuse." The old man glanced at me and said lightly.
"Buy with you? I want to buy with you?"
"Yes, I only have the Mysterious Creed. Whoever buys my Mysterious Creed will help anyone capture his target, so no one can refuse."
I was speechless. It turned out that this old man was doing such a thing with his unfathomable skills!
"By the way, what's the matter with me just now?" I asked.
After learning about the affairs of the Ming Street, I have lost any interest in this so-called Ming Confidence. Anyone who loves you will never stop until you die has nothing to do with me.
Unexpectedly, the old man glared at me again and said angrily: "Didn't I have said it all?"
I was stunned and asked, "What did you say?"
"Of course it's the Ming Qi. Not to mention that you have the essence of the sun and the moon. Do you think that if you have killed so many people from the sects, they will give up?" the old man yelled at me.
"Yes, but they are not good at giving up. What's the matter with Mingqi? Do you still want to capture me and fight them for life and death?" I looked at him with a look of surprise.
The old man glared at me and continued to yell: "Of course I want to catch it, otherwise who will come to buy the Demonic Deed with me in the future!"
"And then?" I didn't understand what the old man was going to do.
"Then? Then you have to stay with me for a month, so that they won't come to me, and I'll go and catch you all the time!" The old man was still yelling.
Then he seemed to think of something again and continued, "Also, when you duel with them, you can't use the ghosts you raise!"
"Why!" I almost jumped up in anger. I couldn't use ghost generals. Wouldn't that let me die?
"There is no reason. I said I can't use it if I can't use it!" the old man said without a doubt.
"But no need for them, how do I fight?" I said angrily.
"How do I know how you fight? Didn't Old Man Hua teach you Taoism? You can't use Taoism?" The old man glared at me angrily.
"But my master asked you to save me, and now you asked me to die again. How can you be worthy of him?"
There is no way, I can only move out my master. Even if I want to resist, I can't beat this old man!
Kongkong said that the old man poked the ghost Taoist away with one finger. At most, I could just poke it a few more times.
"He only said he asked me to save you once, but he didn't say he wouldn't let me catch you and fight someone." The old man said indifferently.
I was speechless and didn't understand why he was doing this, but I knew that since he said that, he would definitely let me go to the duel!
The old man ignored me and started to fetch water from the well, but his way of fetching water was a bit special.
He didn't use the bucket, but he was like Qianyu from Yin and Yang's house. He reached out and the well water floated into the teapot on the tea table.
He sat in front of the tea table, reached out to pick up the teapot filled with water, and put the tea leaves inside.
And when he covered the lid of the teapot, the teapot only shook in his hand, and the water inside actually opened!
"You, are you from the Yin-Yang family?" I asked in shock.
I really can't think of anyone else who can use the power of the five elements so skillfully except the Yin and Yang family.
