When I was guarding that small shop that specialized in funerals, I was probably at the lowest point in my life. I was doing nothing all day long, and my favorite thing was all kinds of brainwashing books.
What you are only one step away from success...
Although I have read a lot, I am still as far away from success as I should be, but some words still have some meaning - when you are being cheated, if you don't know who the real owner is, then you might as well look back and see who has benefited the most.
In our current situation, who is the biggest beneficiary?
Needless to say, it can only be the one at the bottom!
The bits and pieces before told me that this woman is in a precarious situation now.
She has been suppressed for thousands of years by the stacked tombs and burials. She is so weak that she may be wiped out at any time. If we really find her, I am afraid that my master's ability will not be as good as hers!
Now, after all this trouble, we are useless, and the Water Prince has run away. Who is the most comfortable?
I think the "me" my master and his friends saw was most likely sent by the thing at the bottom, or even the Yin slave. Her target was me. She tricked me into running away first, and then dealt with my master and the Water Prince. She was as fierce as a tiger and extremely coquettish.
Among us, except for me and Zhang Xinya, who are standard honest people, who else is not a shrewd person?
After I mentioned this, who can still not figure this out?
"Uncle, how to deal with this?"
Brother Yaozi was rarely at a loss, and whispered to my master: "Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"
My master said nothing, sighed softly, and obviously had no idea what to do.
"Damn it, what else can I do? I'll fight her!"
Lao Bai growled, and seemed to be very excited. He seemed to be particularly concerned about being tricked. He cursed: "After hunting geese all year round, she was pecked blind. What kind of person is this? I have never seen such a sinister ghost. She is like Voldemort, a cunning woman. She came out to harvest after others had finished hunting. She is so sinister..."
Before he finished speaking, a stone suddenly flew out of the darkness and hit him on the mouth with a "smack". He screamed "Ouch" and fell backwards. When he got up, his mouth was swollen and full of blood foam. He couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
I suddenly turned to the direction where the stone came from. It was dark there, without any trace, only a few naturally formed stone pillars.
"Sir, there is no need to do this."
My master spoke, looked over there, and sighed: "After all, your skills are better. We admit defeat. You have been spying in the dark for so long, but you have never said anything, which means that you have no intention of taking our lives. As the saying goes, a man can be killed but not humiliated. Why do you have to do this? Come out and see us!"
"Hehehe..."
A sinister and strange laugh came from the darkness.
After a moment, a small figure turned out from behind the stone pillar, with a big head and a small body, walking with his hands behind his back, and an indescribable pride on his pale face.
This is the Yin slave!
It was not a gentle person to begin with. Now that it had become the winner, it looked like a villain who had taken advantage of others to gain power. It held its head high and tried its best to make itself look more dignified. However, it looked unpleasant and rather funny. When it came closer, it even imitated the ancient gentlemen and bowed to my master: "A man who knows the current affairs is a hero. This gentleman is the best at judging the current situation. He is not like some fools who are already dead meat, but still can't control their pus-filled buttocks and keep saying things that bring disaster to themselves."
When it said these words, it squinted at Lao Bai, and it was obvious who it was scolding.
My master shook his head, not wanting to dwell on these things, and said bluntly: "Tell me, what does your master mean?"
"My master is wise and magnanimous. Even at this point, her conditions have not changed, and are still the same as before."
The Yin slave pointed at me: "This young man just needs to come with me. My master wants to see him and discuss something with him. As for what it is, my master only said that it was a debt from a thousand years ago, and you are not convenient to know the rest. In short, my master will not harm him."
"Three conditions."
My master said lightly: "First, Jingzhe will not go to see her alone. If we want to go, we must go together. Second, I am in too bad a state now, and it is inconvenient to move forward. It will take a day. After a day, we will go with you. Third, you must remove the ghost makeup on Jingzhe now."
"This won't work!"
The Yin slaves were all furious, like monkeys, shouting: "You are not qualified to make conditions now."
My master closed his eyes and said nothing.
After a long time, the Yin slave roared: "You are so neglectful to me, aren't you afraid that my master will send the Yin soldiers to attack you?"
My master finally opened his eyes, but ignored the Yin slave. Instead, he waved to me and asked me to sit down next to him. He looked at me with a gentle face and asked with a smile: "Jingzhe, are you afraid of death?"
This question stumped me.
Who is not afraid of death?
It is better to live a miserable life than to die well. If I am not afraid of death, I will not come here.
However, under the gaze of my master's deep eyes, I dare not tell a lie, but just lowered my head.
"It's not shameful."
My master looked at me for a moment, shook his head, and was not angry. Instead, his tone became more gentle: "If, Master wants you to die for us, do you dare?"
I hesitated for a moment and subconsciously glanced at my master.
His face was like gold paper, and there was a layer of frost on his clothes and skin.
I looked at Brother Yaozi and the others again...
They had almost fought with me all the way here, so there was really nothing good to say at this moment.
Brother Yaozi was covered in blood, with many parts of his skin torn apart. Zhang Xinya was also in a state of depression, and Lao Bai... almost died here.
It was silent here for a while, and everyone was looking at me silently.
Their eyes were like knives, stabbing me again and again, making me restless.
I knew very well that they could completely ignore this matter and continue to live their happy lives.
People are selfish, and so am I. I also want to live, but being watched like this by them, the little bit of luck I have disappeared. After hesitating for a long time, I finally nodded heavily: "Master, I dare!"
"Okay, you are my good disciple, but unfortunately, we are not destined to be together, and Master has to send you to death."
A flash of approval flashed across my master's face, and then he pointed at the Yin slave, and said with a sonorous and powerful word: "Now, pierce the chest with the Tianguan Blade, sacrifice your life to it, and then kill it. It is a parasite, I can't kill it, but you can."
I was trembling all over. At this moment, I really had too much reluctance and attachment in my heart.
Parents, friends, and even life...
There are too many things to miss.
But I dare not think about it, for fear that I will not be able to do it if I think about it. Everything in front of me is blurry. I seem to see the Yin slave talking, but the tinnitus is very serious and I can't hear anything clearly. With a sad roar, he raised the Tianguan Blade and stabbed it fiercely in his chest...
Snap!
A bloody, cold hand suddenly grabbed my wrist.
I suddenly woke up and found that it was Brother Yaozi who stopped me. This iron man had tears in his eyes and wanted to say something, but his lips trembled and he didn't say it in the end. He just raised his head to the front.
I looked up woodenly and found that the Yin slave was retreating again and again.
"Why do you have to do this?"
This thing finally lost its arrogance and waved its hands: "I can't decide your conditions. I need to discuss it with my master."
"Hahahahaha..."
My master raised his head and laughed, his thin and slender body stood straight, and shouted: "Didn't you say that you have a million ghost soldiers? Didn't you say that we have run out of tricks? Why are you afraid of such a young boy in the end? Where are your millions of ghost soldiers? I, Zhang, have been in the world for many years and have never been threatened like this. I tell you that master, I know what she is like in my heart. We have no capital to negotiate, and she has no capital either. As long as you are killed, she will wait for death here!"
The ghost slave looked at me hatefully and shouted: "You are a big fool. You dare to say you don't want a life!"
After that, it turned around and left.
Only then did I wake up. It turned out that... my master wanted to cheat it...
The ghost slave left quickly and came back even faster.
"My master has agreed to your terms."
Yin Nu seemed to be still frightened by what happened just now, and was extremely afraid of me. He waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Come with me, I will untie the skin painted on you, and the rest of you can rest here for a day, and then come with me to see the master!!"
After saying that, it angrily left.
"What are you still standing there for? Come on, we've gone through so much trouble, isn't it just for this?"
Brother Yaozi pushed me, and I rushed forward a few steps, subconsciously looking at my master, and seeing him nodding with a smile at me, I was overjoyed and hurriedly followed Yin Nu to catch up.
