"You know, back then I, the 'Copper-Greeting Ghost King', also followed Master Houtu God for a long time..."
At this moment, the self-proclaimed Copper-Greeting Ghost King, who was pressed under the boulder, muttered in a low voice: "Even I have been following you longer than Lingtu, but at that time, hehe, I made some mistakes caused by recklessness and arrogance. "
Guan Heng hugged his shoulders and asked, "I think your appearance seems somewhat similar to Lingtu..."
"Hahaha, of course. Countless years ago, Houtu God wanted to make some creations, so he shaped the image of Lingtu according to my appearance and characteristics, and shaped it according to the appearance of another ancient ferocious beast. A green and black snake."
At this time, the Copper-Greeting Ghost King recalled what happened back then with some emotion: "When Lingtu was first created, he was a fool who didn't understand anything. I taught him many things step by step because of his appearance. We were so similar that we even called each other brothers, but...many years later, I fell out with him because of one thing!"
Now that he had opened his mouth, the copper-greedy ghost king hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, so he told Guan Heng everything about the past.
At that time, the copper-greedy ghost king turned out to be a minor official under the command of the Golden God. Because he was careless in keeping the secret treasure of the Golden God, he lost part of it. The Golden God was furious and wanted to execute him.
It just so happened that the Earth God came to Pingshou as a guest. He felt soft and begged a few words for the copper-greedy ghost king. Pingshou said, it is okay to spare this guy, but I will not use such derelict people under my command, so I will expel him from now on. That’s it for Mohegan Temple.
When Hou Tushen saw that the copper-greedy ghost king had nowhere to go, he kept him by his side. Years passed, and the master and servant were very harmonious. But one day, the copper-greedy ghost king suddenly discovered that he was under the command of Lishou. There are traces of the secret treasure that was lost at that time. That thing is the natural patina, which is the copper mother.
The thing was not ownerless at this time, but fell into the hands of a group of guys of unknown origin. They used the thing as bait and coerced the copper-greedy ghost king to steal something from Houtu Xuan Palace in exchange for it.
Because for many years, the loss of the natural patina due to his negligence in guarding has always been a knot in the heart of the copper-greed ghost king. He always wanted to find the natural patina and return it to the God of Gold to harvest, in order to prove that he was not A derelict piece of trash.
So, the obsessed Tan Tong sneaked into the secret room of Houtu Xuan Palace, and happened to meet his good brother, General Lingtu, who was in charge at that time.
When the copper-greedy ghost king saw that his whereabouts had been discovered, he begged the other party to let him go. However, the years of brotherhood could not compare with General Lingtu's dedication to his duties. He immediately shouted to attract all the guards and captured him immediately. The copper-greedy ghost king.
After hearing the news, Houtu God carefully interrogated the copper-greedy ghost king about his purpose and who had instructed him to commit such a serious crime. Copper-greedy Ghost King had no choice but to tell the truth, but who the other party was was unknown to the copper-greedy ghost king. , because I have only seen it twice, and I only heard its voice but never saw its appearance.
After listening to its words, Hou Tu Shen couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. Only then did the ancestor of Tu Ling say something that Copper didn't know.
Over the years, after feeling that the copper-greedy ghost king worked hard and without complaint, the Earth God decided to give it a reward, that is, to help the copper-greedy ghost king find the lost natural patina, and let him personally return it to the harvest for himself. Save some dignity.
Moreover, those natural patinas have really been recovered by Houtu God after a lot of time and energy. He was about to return them to the copper-grubbing ghost king. Unexpectedly, this guy was tricked by a mysterious force. He used fake natural patina to lure Copper to commit the crime of stealing. The most annoying thing is that the Copper Ghost King actually believed it.
In fact, Houtu God also knew that the copper-greedy man was being used by bad people, but if he just forgived him, he would neither be able to convince the public nor let the copper-greedy ghost king remember his fault, so Houtu God imprisoned this guy in Xuangu In the underground palace of the island's mine, he also sealed the natural patina he found in the boulder that held the copper-greedy ghost king, saying that he would release it in a few years.
"But since Master Hou Tushen left, I have been waiting day and night and constantly repenting, but I have never seen you come to release me." At this time, the Copper-Greeting Ghost King couldn't help but said bitterly: "I think he has probably completely forgotten me. Bar?"
Having said this, the Copper-Greeting Ghost King paused for a moment before continuing: "After a long period of time, the original spiritual energy all over my body has been exhausted. In order to wait until the day I am released, I continue to absorb the monsters around me. He uses ghosts and ghosts to maintain his life, huh, now he has become like this, so he calls himself the 'King of Ghosts'."
"You are wrong about being imprisoned."
After hearing this, Guan Heng hugged his shoulders and said: "As far as I know, a long time ago, the gods of the Five Elements of Tuwei disappeared at the same time. No one knows when they left and where they went, so It makes sense that no one came to release you.”
"What?! All the Five Elements Gods have disappeared?"
After hearing this, the Copper-Greeting Ghost King's face suddenly changed. It whispered to itself: "No wonder... no wonder... for so many years, I have been feeling that the evil energy in the world has gradually overwhelmed the spiritual energy, but the five gods have not come out to deal with this. It turns out they have disappeared."
Guan Heng suddenly asked at this time: "Copper-Greeting Ghost King, didn't you say that the natural copper-green was sealed on the boulder that pressed him? Why do I see a huge gap in this boulder?"
"Alas, you don't know something. Over the past few hundred years, the natural patina sealed in the boulder has acquired a spiritual soul, gained self-awareness, and began to restless in the sealed boulder, wanting to escape. "
The copper-greedy ghost king shook his head helplessly, and then said: "Just a dozen years ago, I felt a sudden change in the world. At that time, the seal of the Queen Earth God was weakened to the extreme, and a gap broke out in the boulder. The patina just escaped.”
Having said this, the Copper Greedy Ghost King shook his head in annoyance: "In the beginning, there was no other place to go for the natural patina. In addition, this place is located on a deserted island on the water. It was afraid of places near water, so it could only go in the mines. Wander around the canyon, and occasionally return to the sealed boulder to recuperate."
However, in recent years, the natural patina has returned less and less often. The copper-greedy ghost king is afraid that it will fall into the hands of bad people and be used for evil purposes, so he also wants to break free from the shackles of the boulder and retrieve it.
However, because he has been imprisoned for a long time, Tan Tong's power is too weak. Just by swallowing some weak demon souls and monster beasts, there is no way to restore more than 30% of his previous strength.
So the Copper-Greeting Ghost King thought of a way to absorb some of the spiritual power of the natural copper green. The other party would often leave copper mother stains on the passing ores. Although it was not much, it was much more effective than swallowing the demon soul alone.
