Chapter 68 The Yin Slave
Chapter 68 Yin Slave
Strictly speaking, this should be the second meeting between me and it.
In other words, I have seen it many times, but except for the first time, most of the time, it can see me but I cannot see it.
Here, this thing is becoming more and more powerful. The bursts of strange laughter make people's teeth hurt. Sometimes it sounds here and sometimes it sounds there. It is difficult to capture its specific location. Only occasionally can a black shadow flash past.
.
This is teasing us, and it is also a provocation.
"How dare a mere Yin slave do something like this?!"
My master's eyes gradually turned cold, and he raised his foot and stomped lightly on the ground: "Get out!"
"Ouch!"
A scream of pain came from the darkness, and a short thing rolled out, with its limbs in the air, like a tortoise that had turned over, and turned several somersaults, which looked very funny.
This is the Yin slave that my master was talking about. It’s not something special. He might have been a human being, or he might have been a cat or a dog. After death, he was refined into a slave by some powerful old demons and ghosts. His status was
They are roughly the same as little servants in the human world.
Ghosts are also about ostentation. Anyone who is said to have some weight will raise one or two Yin slaves. This thing is like a status symbol.
Whoever raises more slaves, and whose slaves are the best at serving people, will naturally be superior.
I even heard that there used to be old ghosts in the mountains who kept thirty-two Yin slaves. Sixteen of them would carry the dragon sedan when they went out, and the other sixteen would wait on them and swagger around. Travelers in the mountains would often see ghosts carrying dragon sedans at night.
, but later, perhaps because of his disguise, he was slapped down by a Maoshan Taoist, and he was tied up with a dog chain and taken to the mountain gate to become a ghost watcher.
The person in front of me was just like that. After being taught a lesson by my master, his head was stuck in the mud by the stream like a green onion. He fluttered with his two short legs for a long time before he finally pulled out his head. I saw my master wiping his sword.
, jumped three feet high, and shouted with a sharp voice and a fierce voice: "I have thousands of helpers in this river, you'd better not do anything with me again!"
Obviously, at the Mountain Ghost King's grand event, it was hunted down by my master, which left a heavy psychological shadow.
However, probably because of seeing those black shadows constantly walking in the river, it felt inexplicably emboldened. It put its hands on its back and paced back and forth by the stream, trying hard to maintain a deep look, but it was a pity that it was born with the appearance of a slave.
There is really no such thing as mugwort.
"Little Weizi, are you harmed by something like this?"
Lao Bai whispered in my ear: "Why do I suddenly think it's a little cute?"
Not to mention him, even I thought it was a bit ridiculous to be scared to death by such a thing a while ago. My master's foot fell and crushed all the weirdness.
"It's useless to talk more."
My master looked at the Yin slave in front of him and said very simply and neatly: "Take off the ghostly painted skin on my disciple's body and give you a way to survive. Otherwise, I will kill you."
"This seems to be the opposite, right?"
The Yin slave laughed sinisterly, rolled his eyes, and suddenly changed the topic: "However, it is not impossible to remove the layer on his face. I am here to talk to you about this matter.
.Look, I haven’t taken the initiative to attack you until now, this is my sincerity!”
This guy is usually a doormat, but now he is blindly trying to control the discourse from a condescending position.
However, my master was very cold and had no reaction.
This is more embarrassing.
"Well... I'd better talk about my conditions first."
The Yin slave twitched the corner of his mouth, and finally took the initiative to speak: "My master said that you guys can leave. As for this little brother who was skinned by me, you have to come with me, but
Don't worry, my master doesn't have any ill intentions towards him, and will even keep him in peace. I will eventually take off the skin that was painted on his body, and within two days, I will ensure that he appears in front of you intact, how about this?
The conditions are generous enough. Isn’t that why you fought your life all the way to get here?!"
This condition is indeed exciting, but...it is also chilling!
It seems that it really fulfilled my master’s prophecy!
Hooray!
A dark shadow flashed before my eyes, and my master moved without any warning.
It's like a sudden glimpse of a giant, and like a dragon swimming across the sky.
He is only one person, but he is like the legendary swordsman who is as light as a swallow. He lightly steps on the bluestone with his feet and rises into the air, intending to cross the stream directly and reach the Yin slave.
The matter was already obvious. In his eyes, this was an unnecessary conversation. That prophecy made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, as if he had seen through something. He was very afraid and resolutely avoided the real relationship between me and the tombs in the tombs.
Meet the one who suppressed.
Wow!
A splash of water exploded from the stream, and a black shadow jumped up and rushed towards my master. In my haste, I didn't see what it was. I only saw a bloody mouth and gusts of fishy wind hitting my face.
puff!
There was a flash of cold light, and blood flew everywhere.
A huge head flew down next to me. My master had already jumped to the other side, picked up the ancient sword and stabbed at the Yin slave. He was so frightened that the slave's soul was gone. He screamed, lowered his head and ran away.
"Why don't you accept this condition?!"
The Yin slave was very puzzled, and while running for his life, he yelled: "There are too many things that want your lives here. To be in this situation, this is what my master has tried his best to achieve. If you break up, you will die."
here!!"
It reveals some facts and conforms to some of our guesses.
The one who was suppressed at the bottom should be extremely weak now.
Ordinarily, it is the protagonist of this stacked tomb building. It has four tombs of earth, fire, water, and wind, just to kill it. It should be the most ferocious after all. However, the Yin slave said that it is trying its best to fight for something, indicating that it has already
It's hard to control the situation, and the things in the tombs above are starting to stop buying it.
My master didn't respond and just kept chasing and slashing.
At this time, black shadows surged in the water, and strange-looking things washed up on the shore.
These are some weird creatures that I have never seen before. They are shaped like some kind of lizard, but their skin is extremely smooth, black and shiny. There are many scabies on them, secreting a lot of mucus. Their heads are like toads, with a red line running directly from the top of their heads.
Extending to the tail, the scarlet color shines, making these things look a bit oozing, suspected of being highly poisonous creatures. The red line is too bright.
There were a lot of them, and they climbed up to the shore one by one, and they were so dark that they formed a wave.
"What the hell is this?"
Lao Bai shuddered: "Why do you look so disgusting?"
I glanced at the head that fell at my feet. It was cut off by my master's sword. The incision was very smooth. Black and red viscous blood flowed from the head, and the smell of odor hit my nose.
This smell is too strong and I am very familiar with it.
"The seed of Lord Water."
I have made a decision.
The wife of Lord Water is called Long Po Niang, and the seeds that Long Po Niang carries are black mustard seeds. After birth, the black mustard seeds will turn into parasites that eat human brains and control the walking dead.
It's a pity that there aren't that many living people here for them to cause harm to.
So...these parasites grow.
My master said that when the parasite grows up, it is called a red-lined large lizard. It is also called a poisonous earworm in some ancient books. It is basically no different from a wild beast. It has a very ferocious temperament and is the most ferocious predator underwater.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a large-scale outbreak of this thing in the Yangtze River waterway in the Jianghuai area, and it could prey on the pig dragon. However, that year was the Little Ice Age, and wars were frequent. No matter how ferocious the red-lined lizard was, it could not stop the hungry and anxious people.
It was eaten alive and became extinct. It is said that the meat was extremely delicious and it became a delicacy at that time. The Chinese people had their own cooking talents and were almost ready to make flowers. If this thing had not had the ability to reproduce, they would probably have started artificial breeding...
…
There was also an outbreak in the Ejina River. The fish and shrimps to eat were almost extinct. Pedestrians by the water were often robbed, and the river flooded for a time. In the end, the herdsmen cut off the river channel, drained the water and shot them all to death.
At the moment, these things are densely packed, some are heading towards my master, and more are surrounding us. There are more than a thousand in number, one layer on top of another, it is frightening to see.
"Brothers, fight your way out and support Mr. Zhang!"
Lao Bai roared angrily, and then immediately hid behind me...
