A pale palm poked out from the pool, stirring like a fish in the water twice, and a splash of water echoed in the quiet stone room.
Shangguan Jing dipped his palm into the pool again and quietly looked at the circles of ripples in front of him.
After the pool surface returned to calm, he leaned against the pool wall and looked up at the dusty ceiling, looking slightly dazed.
After beating Mr. Huang to death, Shangguan Jing returned to the stone chamber and continued to soak his body with blood essence to complete the tasks assigned by his master.
Normally, Shangguan Jing would sleep to pass the time while absorbing blood essence.
After all, just taking a bath alone is boring, and Shangguan Jing already suffers from drowsiness, so sleeping is inevitable.
However, this time, from the moment Shangguan Jing soaked in the blood pool to when very little of the essence and blood in the pool was absorbed, he was surrounded by trapped thoughts for four hours, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
It was still like this until now, but Shangguan Jing didn't notice that his eyes had turned pure black without knowing it.
"Master, whether I was reduced to a son-in-law, or was forced to change my surname, or was ridiculed and separated from my beloved wife, all the humiliation and injustice I have experienced are caused by the person named Huang secretly. It can be said that , it’s all his fault!
Now, the man named Huang has been beaten to death by my own hands. The hatred that has been with me for fifty years seems to have disappeared with his death.
Now I have no intention of destroying the Huang family, not to mention, Si'er and my daughter, whom I have never met, are still in the Huang family!
I really want to see them, but I just killed Si'er's father, how can I go see her with a clear conscience?
Although Si'er's father is indeed a damn bastard, he is her biological father after all, I...I! "
Shangguan Jing's expression was slumped and he let out a long sigh: "Master, can you tell me what I should do next?"
Black Beads didn't reply.
Seeing that his master turned a blind eye to his inquiry, Shangguan Jing's face drooped, like a child acting coquettishly with his elders: "Master... what should I do, my disciple?"
After a while, the black bead still didn't reply, just hanging quietly on his chest.
During the fifty years that Shangguan Jing went out to practice, whenever he encountered trouble, Black Pearl would give him immediate advice and would never sit back and watch.
Now, Black Pearl has no response at all to Shangguan Jing's request for help, which inevitably makes him suspicious.
Suddenly, Shangguan Jing thought of a possibility.
He looked down at the black beads and shouted urgently: "Master! What's wrong with you? Why don't you speak? Master, master..."
The black bead still didn't reply, like a dead thing without life.
Shangguan Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly took off the black beads from his chest, held them in his hands, and kept shouting the word "Master" in his mouth.
His palms were trembling, and his face was at a loss. He was afraid of losing the important person in front of him.
Suddenly, a burst of wanton laughter sounded in his mind.
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Shangguan Jing's worries immediately dissipated, replaced by a wave of anger mixed with joy.
"Master!" Shangguan Jing complained angrily: "You are so old, you are still doing this, you almost scared me to death."
The laughter in his mind did not dissipate, but became crazier and louder. This made Shangguan Jing experience the feeling of hairiness in his heart again.
"Master...Master, what's wrong with you? Did something good happen?"
"You're right, something good did happen! It's a huge good thing!" Black Pearl laughed wildly and replied: "After 1,300 years, my rebirth plan can finally be realized. Of course, this kind of thing is Good thing, hahaha..."
"Really? That's great!" Shangguan Jing was overjoyed when he heard this and congratulated from the bottom of his heart: "Congratulations, master! Master is really superb! Do you need any help from my disciple?"
"Of course!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Jing felt a strange feeling of weightlessness, and the scene in front of him began to distort.
He tried to stand up from the blood pool, but found that his originally light body had become extremely heavy at this moment, as if it did not belong to him.
"Master, help me quickly!" Shangguan Jing shouted impatiently: "I seem to have been plotted by that despicable Liu Nian again!"
Faced with his apprentice's request for help, Black Pearl couldn't help laughing wildly: "Fifty years have passed and you are still so naive. No wonder that man named Huang looks down on you. You are really a complete idiot! Hahaha... …”
"Master?" Shangguan Jing said inexplicably: "What are you talking about? Disciple can't understand?"
"That's all. Considering that you have taken care of me for so many years, I will make you understand!"
I heard the voice say in my mind: "As early as a thousand years ago, I realized that my qualifications are limited, and the possibility of breaking through the state of distraction in this life is very slim.
So, I began to look for ways to extend longevity. Although I did find several methods, they all had extremely serious side effects.
By chance, I got a spiritual treasure, which is the [soul-absorbing bead] on your chest. It can not only store the soul without harm, but also warm the soul. Even if the monk's body is dead, it can still be guaranteed. The monk's spirit lingers.
At that time, an idea came to my mind. Since my physical body cannot extend my life normally, I might as well find a junior with excellent qualifications to take over my body! "
The voice in Shangguan Jing's head changed his tone and said angrily: "What I didn't expect was that there was an accident on the way to seize the body!
My original intended candidate actually saw through my plan and not only broke free from my control, but also seriously injured my soul, causing my soul to sleep in the [Soul Nasting Bead] for thousands of years. "
After the anger, the voice in his head sounded again, and this time the tone changed to a chuckle: "Fortunately, I met you, a brainless idiot! Do you think that I taught you the body training method to achieve a superior physique? You?
That is for my rebirth plan. After taking this body for me, I can get a good body! "
Shangguan Jing was horrified. The once extremely familiar voice became extremely unfamiliar at this moment.
He tried his best to suppress those bad suspicions and forced an ugly smile: "Master, are you joking, right? You are just scaring me, right?"
During the fifty years that Shangguan Jing went out to practice, the remnant soul in the black bead has been guiding him in his practice and helping him overcome every difficulty. If it were not for the existence of the black bead, he would have died long ago.
After getting along for a long time, Shangguan Jing also regarded this stern master as his closest and most trusted family member. He really couldn't accept that all this concern was a scam.
Tears welled up from Shangguan Jing's eyes. With a hoarse voice, he cried like a wronged child and begged: "Master! You have saved my disciple so many times, how could you harm my disciple? You... This joke is not funny at all, so don’t scare me..."
The voice in his head did not give him hope, but instead came a burst of laughter.
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! You, a guy with no heart, no understanding, and no brains, still think you are qualified to be my disciple.
Do you think it’s you that I care about? What I care about is your body. If I hadn’t been absolutely sure to seize this body before, do you really think you could live to this point? "
The cold and proud voice in his head completely shattered the last trace of luck in Shangguan Jing's heart.
Hatred filled Shangguan Jing's eyes, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Xu Wei, you old thief actually lied to me for fifty years!"
A low shout came, and the feeling of physical deprivation intensified, and Shangguan Jing couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.
"How dare you, you ant, dare to call me by my first name!"
Seeing that his consciousness seemed to be about to leave his body, Shangguan Jing immediately gathered his mind and finally regained consciousness. However, he was horrified to find that the voice just now came from his own mouth.
Shangguan Jing frantically tried to control every muscle in his body, gritting his teeth and roaring: "Old thief, get out of my body!"
"Your body? It seems like you idiot hasn't figured out the situation yet, hehehehe..."
Shangguan Jing's mouth sneered uncontrollably, and he said jokingly: "Forty percent of this body has been infected by the blood of monsters and beasts, turning it into an ownerless thing. The remaining 50% is... It has also been assimilated by my essence and blood, and less than 10% of your own part is left!
Now, I am the real owner of this body!
And you, this idiot, will be suppressed in this body forever by me, and you will spend the rest of your life in that dark environment! Hahaha……"
An irresistible tugging feeling came over him. Shangguan Jing closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, trying his best to resist.
Suddenly, he felt a lightness in his body, his limbs seemed to have regained their ability to move, and the wild laughter that had been ringing in his ears just now suddenly disappeared.
Shangguan Jing thought he had successfully prevented the opponent from seizing the body, and couldn't help but feel happy. However, when he opened his eyes, his whole body went limp and his heart was filled with despair.
The surroundings were completely dark, without any light. Shangguan Jing looked around and couldn't see anything, nor could he see himself.
stone interior
Shangguan Jing's eyes turned into a normal color. Xu Wei, who had successfully seized the body, greedily touched his face: "For this real touch, I have been waiting for 1,300 years. Emperor Tian has paid off." , I finally succeeded! Hahaha..."
At this moment, a soft knock on the door came into the stone room, and along with it came a polite request.
"Hello, have you finished washing? Liu Nian, I need to talk to you about something. Can you please open the door?"
Hearing this, Xu Wei's lips curved into a smile and he began to make calculations in his mind.
It turns out that this boy can break through the shielding barrier set by me, and he is worthy of being a member of the Haoqi Immortal Sect.
That idiot Shangguan Jing didn't know the past of Haoqi Immortal Sect, yet he dared to attack the other party directly. He really didn't know how to live or die.
Even when I am in my heyday, I must show courtesy to people from the Haoqi Immortal Sect. If I can make friends with them, it will be a great source of blessing.
Now that I am in charge of this body, I will definitely not let this source of blessing be missed!
After putting on a decent robe, Xu Wei waved his hand and opened the stone door, bowed to Liu Nian outside the door and apologized: "I caused a lot of offense some time ago, please don't take it to heart, Taoist friend Liu Nian."
Liu Nian looked into Shangguan Jing's eyes and sighed, "Oh, it seems I'm late!"
Hearing this, Xu Wei felt alarmed in his heart, but on the surface he pretended not to know what was going on, and asked suspiciously, "Why did fellow Taoist say this?"
"Um..." Liu Nian scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Can you let Shangguan Jing out for a while? My elder brother has something to talk to him about."
