A cigarette rod flew out of the house at an extremely fast speed. It hit a big man squarely on the forehead.
The cigarette rod flew back, and blood spurted out from the big man's head. The big man covered his head and roared. "Old man, today I'm going to cut you into pieces!"
A resentful baby rushed out of the house. He glared at the seven tigers from the outer gate angrily.
Then the door opened wide. Fifth Master and Xiaoqiang walked out slowly. The fifth master still looked sick. He raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the seven people outside the door, without any fear on his face.
"Get out or die!"
"Old guy, it's just you? We don't just want the Ninth Courtyard, we also want your old guy's head!"
"Fifth Master, everyone knows that you can also get along with ghosts. Stop talking nonsense and invite your ghosts to come out too. Let's see who is better, you and Sister Lang, or our seven outer sect tigers."
The Fifth Master sneered, "It's too late for you to leave now even if you want to."
The yin energy in the courtyard suddenly increased, and a huge ghost slowly floated out from behind Fifth Master. It was a nine-foot-tall man. The ghost has one arm, but it actually holds a long sword in its hand.
"Ghost, ghost servant!"
How could ordinary wandering spirits and ghosts have weapons in their hands? The big man next to Fifth Master is obviously a ghost servant.
"This, how is this possible!"
This scene is truly shocking. The fifth master is just a dying old man. He has no way to contract a ghost servant, let alone the strength to recruit a ghost servant. Moreover, the grade of this ghost servant has already reached level two.
A second-level ghost servant is equivalent to possessing the combat power of a spiritual monk. A spiritual monk went to fight seven warriors. There is no suspense about the outcome.
The fifth master was not even interested in watching the outcome of this battle. All his attention was focused on Chu Feng in the room.
Chu Feng always sat quietly on the wooden bed with his eyes closed, with no expression on his face.
At this moment, Fifth Master can be sure that Chu Feng's strength is deeply hidden and is not even inferior to him. Because even if he brought this ghost servant with him, he didn't have the confidence to come out of the dungeon unscathed, but Chu Feng did it calmly.
Naturally, Chu Feng had already seen through the fifth master's strength. The Fifth Master is now a warrior at the peak of the Xiantian realm. The reason why he obtained this second-level ghost servant was because he sacrificed himself.
In the ghost world, monks can make contracts with ghosts, and ghosts can also possess the monk's body. The Fifth Master willingly dedicated his body to the ghost.
This is similar to the method used by outside monks to seize bodies. Generally speaking, it is what ordinary people call "ghost possessed". It is not uncommon for ordinary ghosts to possess ghosts. Ghosts and human souls coexist, and ghosts can only dominate human bodies for a short period of time. But the fifth master's "ghost possessed body" is different.
The Fifth Master completely sacrificed his body to the ghost. When the time comes, his own soul will be swallowed up by the ghost, and his body will also be completely possessed by the ghost. That would be an extremely painful process. It can be said that having your soul swallowed by a ghost is the most painful and cruel thing in the world.
Even if a monk's soul is slightly injured, the pain will be far greater than the pain of a broken arm. One can imagine what kind of torture it is to have one's soul devoured bit by bit by ghosts while one is conscious.
The fifth master sacrificed himself for an obvious purpose. He needed strength to protect his grandson from growing up.
That ghost servant originally belonged to an inner disciple. After the disciple died, the ghost servant became ownerless. Later, he met the Fifth Master and made a seven-year agreement with the Fifth Master. It only needs to protect Wu Ye and Xiaoqiang for five years, and then it can possess Wu Ye's body.
In fact, Chu Feng guessed all of this when he first saw the Fifth Master. When he first entered the south room, he discovered that there was a powerful ghost servant in the fifth master's body. Later, he learned everything through observing the Fifth Master.
For Xiaoqiang, Fifth Master was able to sacrifice his body, which moved Chu Feng.
The sound of fighting outside gradually subsided. Under the joint attack of the three ghosts, the newly formed Seven Outer Sect Tigers quickly turned into the Seven Outer Sect Corpses. Those seven warriors died miserably.
Sister Lang went to dispose of the corpse in the courtyard. Fifth Master sat back on the wooden bed again and lit his pipe.
"Chu Feng, am I qualified to join forces with you now?"
Chu Feng heard the implication of the fifth master's words.
The fifth master was not talking about his own combat power. He was asking whether the matter of sacrificing one's body to a ghost would be acceptable to Chu Feng? Once Chu Feng agrees to join forces with the Fifth Master now, it is equivalent to promising that the Fifth Master will protect Xiaoqiang in the future.
Chu Feng said: "Fifth Master, since you have such a powerful ghost servant, why do you need help from the younger generation?"
Fifth Master was silent, he just smoked the cigarette rod in his hand.
Xiaoqiang was angry and snorted: "What's so great. Grandpa, even without his help, we can still get the quota."
"Shut up!" Fifth Master shouted. "You help dispose of the body."
Xiaoqiang curled his lips and walked out of the house. On the way out, he glanced in the direction of the outhouse.
Not long after, the fifth master opened the door of the outhouse. He coughed slightly and sat down on a pile of debris.
In the dimness, he could vaguely see the outline of Chu Feng on the bed.
"Children are ignorant. Chu Feng, although I can't figure out why you are willing to stay at the outer gate, I know very well that you can enter the inner gate at any time as long as you want. Old man, I have been waiting for five years with the ghost servant. , enough to send Xiaoqiang into the inner door. Just..."
The Fifth Master paused and continued: "You are right, the inner door is just a bigger cage. Once there, I will no longer be able to protect Xiaoqiang. So I want to ask you, if you can protect him. , old man, I can’t thank you enough.”
Chu Feng said: "Fifth Master, with all due respect, you and I are both people in the ghost world. I am not related to you, so your request may be a bit abrupt, right? Besides, how do you know that I have the strength to protect Xiaoqiang?" .”
The Fifth Master smiled faintly: "As people live longer, their eyes will blur, and the things they see become blurry, but the people they see become more and more clear."
"Chu Feng, you put the poison a few days ago, right? If I guessed correctly, the dungeon is actually the place where the Xuangui Sect raises ghosts. Everyone who goes in is just a tonic for the ghosts. But you are leaving Come out. I can't imagine what kind of person you are. But I am sure that you are a good person."
"Good man..." Chu Feng couldn't help but get goosebumps when he heard these two words.
"Your eyes don't tell lies. Compared to the people here, there are two more things in your eyes."
"Those two?"
"Calm. Your eyes are too calm. It seems that you came here just to seek peace." The fifth master shook his head helplessly, "But there is no peace here."
"What's the other thing?"
"Conscience. You treat the people here as humans. So you often have mood swings. If you treat the people here as beasts and devils, then you will find that nothing they do is unexpected. ”
