Poisonous wine into the throat, extra hot, I did not hold back, coughing hard twice.
Master laughed out loud.
"Xiaojiu, master has told you long ago, drink slowly, this good wine, the more you taste, the more fragrant it is!"
I smiled and didn't say anything more.
Just then, the master murmured as if to himself.
"It's a little uncomfortable not having you to drink with later."
I knew he was getting ready to do it, but I continued to pretend I didn't know anything.
"Master, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing, Xiaojiu, you come with Master."
He took two random chairs from the yard and sat himself down, then pointed to the chair in front of him and said to me.
"Sit down and have a chat with Master."
He asked me after I took my seat.
"Little Nine, how many years have we known each other?"
"Master, you're drunk, I was picked up by you at birth, today is my eighteenth birthday, of course we've known each other for eighteen years."
The master exclaimed.
"Eighteen years have passed, time flies. When I first picked you up, you were just a tiny bit bigger than the palm of Master's hand, but now you've grown into an adult.
Time is not forgiving ah, you grew up, but the master is old, the temples are white."
He didn't give me a chance to talk to him and went on from there.
"There's an old saying that foster kindness is greater than birth kindness, Xiaojiu, you say I have raised you for eighteen years, shouldn't you repay me properly?"
"Of course, the kindness you have given me in raising me, Master, is greater than the heavens, so of course I must repay you well."
Master smiled and patted me on the shoulder.
"What a good boy, Master has nothing else to ask, just give me your body."
Master's voice just fell, I was horrified to find that my body suddenly can not move, I can still turn except for the eyeballs, the rest of the body, all out of control, and even the words can not speak.
I looked down at my feet, and the shadow of my master and I, at some point, fused together.
An arm, withered like dry wood, reached out from the shadows and grabbed my ankle.
If I'm not wrong, this is the ghost that is usually hidden by the master.
I hastily averted my eyes, not fear, but can not be found by the master I can see ghosts.
Once he is wary, it will be difficult to carry out my plan.
Perhaps it was too much to drink at the banquet, or perhaps it was a long-cherished wish that was about to be fulfilled for many years, the master simply did not notice the change in my eyes.
He pulled out a pocket knife from his pocket and threw away the sheath to reveal a shiny, polished blade.
"Don't be afraid, O Little Nine, it only hurts for a moment, it will soon be over."
He grabbed my hand and then slashed my wrist.
The blade cut through the skin, extraordinarily cold, and only after the blood gushed out did I feel the pain.
Looking at the blood emerging from my wrist, the master's eyes became hot, he could not wait to put his mouth up and sucked desperately, as if he was drinking jelly.
His throat knot moved several times before he looked up contentedly.
The corners of the master's mouth were coated with blood, like the blood-sucking zombies of folklore.
He tore off a red cloth from his wedding dress and wrapped it around my wrist.
I had read the book he had hidden away, "The Book of Vertical Ghosts", and knew what he was going to do next - it was time to change souls...
Master fished something out of his pocket, a bell that he had hung on the courtyard door earlier to prevent the Master's wife from escaping.
At this moment the master is so excited that his hands are trembling, he said to me in a frenzy.
"Eighteen years ... eighteen years! I've been looking forward to this day all the time!"
He lifted the bell in his hand and shook it while murmuring.
"Xiaojiu, you bear with it, it will soon be over, don't worry, Master will not forget you, in the future, every New Year's Day, Master will give you two pillars of incense ..."
The bell shakes and makes a crisp sound.
Jingle Bells!
The ringing into my ears, I just feel the sky spinning, a trance, perhaps this is the feeling of the soul is about to out of body.
The faster the bell was rung, the stronger the vertigo became. I knew that Master was trying to force my soul out of my body and replace it with his.
Just as I was about to lose my grip, the bell came to a screeching halt.
The bell came off the Master's hand and fell to the ground, not ringing.
Master covered his stomach and took two steps backwards, his eyes were so wide that they were about to bulge out of their sockets.
He stretched out his finger and pointed at me tremblingly, his tone full of disbelief.
"What did you ... you did?"
A moment later, he remembered that I couldn't speak now and immediately gave an order to the evil spirits hiding in my shadow.
"Let go of him!"
The hand that was as dry as wood let go of my ankle, and my shadow separated from Master's shadow and turned to the direction of the backlight.
I was finally able to move.
The moment I was able to speak, I cried out in pain, and I covered my stomach as hard as my master.
The snake venom demon crystal given by my mother was so overpowering that at the moment it was as if there was a sun in my stomach, emitting amazing heat, giving me the illusion of being in a sea of fire.
The heat radiated from my stomach to my extremities, and there was no place in my body where the pain of being on fire did not come.
I'm very glad that Master had the evil spirits fix me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to resist crying out in pain before he sucked my blood.
Master had probably guessed what was happening, and he yelled at me angrily.
"There's poison in your blood!"
He jerked his hand out and pointed to his bedroom.
"It's that **** that's helping you!"
Shifu came out of the bedroom, she was dressed in red like fire, but the expression on her face was like the cold ice in the waxing moon.
She snapped her voice in accusation.
"Chen Tian! When you brutally skinned my mother in the first place, you should have thought that this day would come!"
Master was about to go crazy, he shouted twice as if he were a mad bull.
"How dare you harm me! I want your lives!"
Immediately afterwards, he mouthed two quick silent incantations, only to see the evil spirit that had just taken control of me, crawl out of his shadow.
The evil spirit was so thin that it was skin and bones, and the hair on his head was so thin that it could be counted in ten fingers, he opened his mouth with missing teeth, and a thick, fierce aura spurted out of his throat.
In the face of the evil spirits, I instinctively felt fear, but in the mother stood up to stop the evil spirits in front of.
A demon and a ghost fought, and in a moment the yard tables and chairs shattered large.
I can see that the master's wife is down and can't hold out for long.
Master endured severe physical pain, he first picked up the bell, then lunged at me violently, I tried to push him away, but he was held down on the ground.
I now understand why Shifu said I was not a match for the master, he is obviously 60 years old, but the strength than I am a young man of 18 years old, he held down my two arms with one hand, I made my best efforts to break free.
The master gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.
"Xiao Jiu ah, Master really did not see before, you are actually a white-eyed wolf, want to kill me? You are still a little too young!"
