I asked Sifu a question.
"You were caught by Chen Tian on purpose, right?"
Shifu's eyes changed and were full of surprise.
"Why do you say that?"
I gave the answer.
"You just said that the master has been looking for you for forty years, so long he never succeeded, which means you have a way to avoid his pursuit, but at this time you were caught by him, this explanation does not make sense."
Shifu grunted.
"It was my carelessness that led me to fall into his trap."
I shake my head.
"No, you did it on purpose! You are not willing that Master will kill your mother and still turn back into a normal person, and you are more afraid that Master's Dao will be deeper when he becomes young again, and then you will have no way to escape."
The master mother stared at my eyes for a long time, she asked slyly.
"Are you really a seventeen-year-old boy? Why do I feel that you are more like an old fox with an extremely deep city."
By a fox demon said to be an old fox, I'll assume that the master mother is complimenting me.
Growing up, my mind is different from normal people, no matter how urgent and dangerous things are, I can keep myself calm, perhaps this is my natural character.
Shifu continued.
"You guessed right, we demons live much longer than humans, these forty years, I have been waiting for Chen Tian to grow old, only when he is old, I will have the opportunity to kill him and avenge my mother.
But now he has learned to take the body, he can take your body, and later on, he can take someone else's body, maybe he can stay young, or even immortal.
If this goes on, I won't have a chance to take revenge with my own hands in this life! So I deliberately let him catch it and wanted to kill him before he took over you."
I went on to ask the next question.
"You didn't make it?"
Shifu shook her head.
"Your master is hiding a powerful evil ghost, I tried to assassinate no matter what, also tried to poison, but all were found by you it, every time I failed, Chen Tian beat me poisonously, finally I was at my wit's end and tried to escape, but was caught up by the evil ghost."
I was shocked, this evil ghost even the master mother of this demon are beaten, I if I come hard, certainly not its opponent.
"What kind of poison did you give Master?"
Shifu lifted her left leg and took off the embroidered shoes on her feet.
When she drew out the insole, I realized that underneath the insole, something was hidden.
It was a small crystal clear grain of rice, which shimmered in the sunlight, like a broken diamond.
"This is called snake poison demon crystal, I borrowed it from a snake demon who has been cultivating for six hundred years, one can kill a person, the person who eats it will have an illusion of being in a blazing fire, and finally die of pain alive."
Shifu sighed.
"I borrowed a total of two, the first one was placed in Chen Tian's water glass by me, but unfortunately the evil spirit in him found it."
I was deep in thought. Master did not know that I had discovered his secret and was hardly alert to me.
So whether I put the snake venom demon crystal into his rice bowl or into his glass of wine, it was a breeze.
But the nearly transparent snake poison demon crystal, mixed into the water can be found by the evil spirits he raised, replaced by me to, the success rate will not be too high.
"When you take the snake poison demon crystal, how long does it take to attack? How long will it take to die?"
"One minute to seizure, ten minutes to death at the latest."
"Then what happens if someone drinks after taking the snake poison demon crystal and others drink his blood?"
"And of course it will die ..."
Shifu asked me with wide eyes and disbelief.
"What do you want to do?"
Instead of answering her, I asked the most crucial question.
"This snake poison demon crystal, is there an antidote?"
Shifu hesitated for a moment and opened her mouth.
"There is no antidote, but I can consume all my cultivation and help people force the poison out of their bodies."
I nodded and stated my plan.
"Before master takes over me, he has to drink my blood first, as long as I take the snake poison demon crystal in advance, I can make him unknowingly poisoned, and when master dies, you can save me, how about that?"
After listening to my plan, Shifu looked at me like I was looking at a madman.
Her eyes flickered and I knew what she was thinking. She must have been thinking about whether she wanted to save me if things really came to pass.
I didn't break it down because I had other plans.
Eventually, Sifu agreed to do so.
"Good! Just do it!"
But soon, she posed another question.
"From poisoning to death, there is ten minutes, Chen Tian will certainly not wait to die."
I asked her.
"Can you stop that evil spirit for ten minutes?"
"If you fight for your life, you can! But what about Chen Tian? Don't say by you to deal with, although he is old, but clean up you, is no different from killing a small chicken."
I laughed and said something that Shifu couldn't understand.
"He is protected by evil spirits, and I can get help from evil spirits."
Shifu was confused.
"What do you mean?"
I didn't tell the whole story because it's still an unknown whether what I'm plotting now will work out.
I changed the subject.
"I saw a ghost on the deserted mountain, is it related to the bite you took of me?"
"That's right."
"So, can I still see ghosts now?"
Shifu explained to me.
"You can see ghosts because you drank my blood, except Chen Tian moved in my blood in order to keep you from discovering his secret, and I bit you to break his means, so you can still see ghosts now." .
"So can I hear ghosts and communicate with them?"
"Yes you can ... What are you going to do?"
I replied in a firm voice.
"Get help!"
During the night, the master returned, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted happily.
"It smells so good! Xiaojiu, what did you do?"
I came out of the kitchen with dishes, stewed pork ribs in one hand and braised fish in the other, all dishes that Master loved to eat.
Master drooled.
"What's with all the abundance today?"
I said, pretending to be grateful.
"Master for me, the whole day busy east and west, do disciple, of course, to honor you, I also bought you wine, is your favorite drink Niu Lan Shan."
The master was smiling with joy.
"Little Nine has really grown up, I'll go wash my hands, let's eat!"
Having lived with Master for seventeen years, I have mastered his habits to a tee.
For example, the master loves to drink, every time he drinks, he has to drink until he is drunk to enjoy himself.
Then again, he only has one pound of wine, and I bought him two pounds today.
When eating, I kept persuading the master to drink, when the second bottle of wine down half a bottle, the master to the dining table, a slump, snoring immediately after the sound.
Sitting next to me, Sifu put down her dishes and stared at me.
I pointed to my mouth and then to the Master.
Shifu opened her mouth.
"That ghost he hid, when not released is not able to hear us, but you must not get any bad ideas, that ghost protects the master, if you want to take advantage of the opportunity to do something now, it will certainly appear."
Saying that, Shifu rolled up her own sleeve, and on her white arm, in addition to the whip marks, there were three claw marks, so obviously she had tried it before.
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."
I carried Master and sent him back to his room, and when I came out, I said to Sifu.
"I have to go out, if Master wakes up in the middle of the night, you find a way to stall him and never let him find out I'm not at home.
Of course, if you want to run, I can help you take the bell off the gate."
Shifu shook her head.
"I can't get away."
She added after a pause.
"You won't get away with it either."
