Chapter Two: Ghost Cultivator
When the elixir entered his mouth, Su Yi felt a cold feeling all over his body.
The whole body seemed to be floating in the sky, so light and indescribably comfortable.
Lord Zhang was overjoyed when he saw that Su Yi did not die from poisoning.
"Is it really a magic medicine?"
Mr. Zhang couldn't help but look at the "White Bone Immortal Sutra".
But the more I looked at it, the more something was wrong. At the end, not only did the original excitement disappear, but my expression became more solemn, my brows were furrowed, and there was a bit of fear in my eyes.
The scar-faced man and others looked increasingly anxious.
Seeing that after Su Yi swallowed the pills, not only did he not die from poisoning, but he became more and more energetic, and even his original stupidity was completely gone. It seemed that he had truly won an incredible destiny.
Even a fool can become a normal person after taking the magic medicine. If Mr. Zhang, who is highly skilled in martial arts, is allowed to practice the magic in the booklet, then the prisoners will be trapped in the cell forever.
Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, with a tingling sound, the wick of the kerosene lamp burned out.
Just when Mr. Zhang was stunned, the scar-faced man felt happy, tiptoed to Mr. Zhang's side, took out the stone knife that had been prepared, and stabbed Mr. Zhang in the abdomen.
It can be judged from the touch from the other end of the stone knife that it did indeed stab Mr. Zhang, but I don't know that the stab missed the vital point.
"Brothers, Mr. Zhang was seriously injured by my stabbing. Let's all come together and take care of this thief. We brothers will go out to eat and drink together."
The scar-faced man was overjoyed and was about to stab him a few more times, but found that the stone knife could not be pulled out.
"Huh? It's evil, why can't it be pulled out?"
It was pitch dark all around, and no one knew why Scarface's tone changed from ecstasy, to surprise, and then to fear.
Just when everyone was scratching their heads, a kerosene lamp slowly lit up.
Everyone looked towards the light source and saw Master Zhang and the scar-faced man fighting for a stone knife. The scar-faced man held the handle of the knife with both hands and refused to let go, while Master Zhang held the blade with one hand and couldn't stop his expression.
sneer.
Behind Mr. Zhang, a short and thin man lit an oil lamp and looked at the scar-faced man with a sinister look.
Su Yi recognized that this short and thin man was the one who conspired with the scar-faced man to kill Mr. Zhang.
The scar-faced man's expression changed from disbelief to rage, and he shouted: "Lao Wu, you betrayed me!"
The short and thin man said sadly: "It is better for a good bird to choose a tree to roost and follow Mr. Zhang than to lick blood from your knife."
Mr. Zhang shouted: "If you dare to sneak attack the imperial official, I will execute you today, and it will not be considered a violation of the laws of the Jin Dynasty."
With a ding sound, Master Zhang drew out his saber and stabbed the scar-faced man in the lower abdomen.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. The short and thin man who had been standing behind Mr. Zhang suddenly took out a stone knife and silently stabbed Mr. Zhang in the back.
Mr. Zhang only felt a sharp pain in his lower back, and then his back was stabbed into a hornet's nest with a sharp weapon.
In desperation, he turned the handle of the knife and hit the short and thin man on the temple.
The short and thin man seemed to have martial arts skills. He stretched out his arms and blocked Master Zhang's blow. However, Master Zhang was very strong and the short and thin man was knocked backwards and hit the stone wall.
At this time, the man with the scarred face was covered in blood, lying on the ground, giving a thumbs up: "Lao Wu, what a trick, I'm afraid you have already made preparations for it, and it wasn't until you saw the elixir that you decided to take advantage of it."
"When you get rich in the future, remember to burn more paper money on my grave during festivals. I don't want to end up in the underworld and be a poor ghost."
The short and thin man got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and shouted: "Brothers, what are you waiting for? Kill that dog official and let's become immortals together."
"Become an immortal? I think it's better to become a ghost."
Mr. Zhang was seriously injured, his clothes were stained with blood, but his skills were not reduced at all, and he rushed into the crowd like a ghost.
I saw a flash of cold light, and in an instant everyone in the cave except Su Yi fell to the ground with a plop.
In just a few breaths, Su Yi and Master Zhang were the only two people left alive in the cave.
After Mr. Zhang finished killing the person, he poured a pill from the porcelain bottle and swallowed it, while muttering something in his mouth.
He made a magic spell with both hands and pointed lightly at a corpse on the ground.
A faint green will-o'-the-wisp floated out from the corpse, and under the guidance of Mr. Zhang's magic formula, it floated into Mr. Zhang's mouth.
At the entrance of the will-o'-the-wisp, Mr. Zhang showed a satisfied expression on his face, as if he was full, and even burped.
At this time, the scene was quite strange. The kerosene lamp had fallen to the ground, the light was dim, and streaks of will-o'-the-wisps floated out from the corpse, which was then swallowed by Mr. Zhang.
Every time he swallowed a will-o'-the-wisp, Master Zhang's skin became shriveled up.
After all the will-o'-the-wisps were devoured, Master Zhang had completely turned into a skeleton, but the skeleton was still covered with a sticky human skin, which was Master Zhang's own human skin.
I don't know how long it took, but two faint ghost fires lit up on Mr. Zhang's skull and swept towards Su Yi.
"Junior brother, do you want to get out of this underground?"
The voice was hoarse and gloomy, not like a living person.
Su Yi looked at Mr. Zhang who had completely turned into a skeleton and was shaking all over, but when he heard that he could go out, he couldn't help but ask: "You call me junior brother? Can you really take me out?"
Master Zhang laughed loudly, tore open his leather jacket with a pair of bone-white hands, and stood up.
"Brother, I got all the inheritance from the White Bone Immortal, and you also mistakenly took the only three soul-gathering pills left by the White Bone Immortal. Who are you if you're not my junior brother?"
"As for whether I can take you out, it depends on whether you know the current affairs, junior brother."
Su Yi didn't know why Mr. Zhang could still speak like a living person after turning into a skeleton. What was happening in front of him was beyond his understanding.
However, the weirder the situation became, the stronger Su Yi's desire to escape from this ghost place became.
Seeing that Mr. Zhang had no intention of harming him, Su Yi pinched his nose and called out to his senior brother: "Senior brother, if you can really take me out, I will be very grateful."
Master Zhang's skull mouth opened slightly, as if it was a smile. At the same time, several white firelights emerged from the white bone fingertips and flew towards the corpse in the cave.
As soon as the body touched the fire, it began to burn silently. After a while, it was completely burned, not even ashes were left.
Seeing this, Su Yi couldn't help but said: "Senior brother, you have such a good skill. Since I am your junior brother, can you pass on some self-defense spells to me?"
Lord Zhang ignored Su Yi and concentrated on cleaning up the corpses in the cave. When only the body of the short and thin man was left in the cave, Lord Zhang kicked the corpse so hard that it was smashed to pieces.
"With a bastard like you, if I hadn't made up my mind to fall into the ghost realm, would I have allowed you to succeed?"
"Now I have achieved a small level of cultivation, thanks to the souls of you people."
Master Zhang said this, but he did not burn the body of the short and thin man, but tore it to pieces with his own hands to vent his resentment.
Su Yi only felt that this master was very deep in the city and had a strong desire for revenge. He couldn't help but take a few steps back and stay a little away from the crazy Master Zhang.
After Mr. Zhang finished venting his anger, Bai Gu dug his hand into the stone wall as easily as cutting tofu with a knife.
After a while, a tunnel was dug leading to the ground.
Outside the tunnel is an unknown dense forest with towering ancient trees and bright sunshine.
Su Yi took a big breath of fresh air, and the haze in his heart was swept away.
Just as I was thinking about how to escape Master Zhang's clutches, I looked back and saw that Master Zhang was hiding in a dark corner of the tunnel and did not come out.
"Junior brother, I forgot to say something to you."
Mr. Zhang's voice was sinister, and you could tell he was planning something as soon as you heard it.
Just listen to him continue to say: "The spirit-gathering pill you swallowed was originally a holy medicine for ghost cultivators. For ghost cultivators like us, it can improve our cultivation, but for living people, it is not a good thing."
When Su Yi heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he secretly cried out.
"Senior brother, is there a way to rescue me? If I can save my life, I will be very grateful."
Master Zhang burst out laughing: "There are no ways, it depends on whether you are willing, junior brother."
"The first method is to commit suicide now, fall into the ghost realm, and become a ghost cultivator just like me."
Su Yi glanced at Mr. Zhang, who was now half human and half ghost, with only a skeleton left, and took a breath of air.
He didn't want to become like this.
Apart from anything else, after turning into a skeleton, even the fundamentals of a man are gone. It is more complete than turning into a eunuch, so what's the point of living?
When Su Yi was silent, Master Zhang said: "It's just that the skills of the White Bone Immortal are somewhat special. He must be killed by someone and have great resentment in his heart before he can successfully fall into the ghost world and become a ghost cultivator.
"
"Furthermore, junior brother, you have been taking the Soul Gathering Pill for some time. Even if you help me, you will not be able to successfully fall into the ghost realm. You may become confused and completely lost."
Su Yi looked at Mr. Zhang in the tunnel and said coldly: "Senior brother went through a lot of hard work to send the younger brother out. He also stated that falling into the ghost realm is the first way, so there must be a second way, right?"
Mr. Zhang laughed again, and smiled very proudly: "Of course there is a second method. The second method is to ask the junior brother to serve me for a period of time. I am afraid that the junior brother has also noticed it. It is not convenient for me to come out now.
