Strange Tale

Chapter 50

Long Jiu turned to look at Si Ren, "Did you know that Chen's soul was still there?"

Si Ren recalled it carefully, "Maybe earlier."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you still remember the night when I dreamed you in the ruined temple?"

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Before you woke up I heard someone yelling 'sir help me'. That wasn't you, was it?"

Long Jiu shook his head, "No."

"Then it should be Chen." Si Ren stood up and closed the door, and then sat back on the bed. "Can you tell me what happened? In fact, Chen...isn't dead, right?"

"Well... It's not that he didn't die, it's just that he can't leave now."

"Can't leave? What do you mean?"

"I think you probably already know: I don't have three souls and seven souls."

"Ah."

"So I can't just attach to anyone's body, but I can attach to the soul of someone with the right conditions."

"Possession to the soul?" Si Ren tried hard to think, and vaguely remembered that he had seen the saying of spirit possession in some unknown ancient book.But at the time, I thought it was too ridiculous, so I didn't pay attention.

"To put it more clearly, it's actually more like a kind of parasitism."

Si Ren showed an uncomfortable expression, "Parasite?"

"Yes, parasitic. Let's put it this way: now my host is Chen's soul."

"Did he know at that time?"

"I know, I have an agreement with him, or an agreement: I can have his body if I help him complete what he wants to do."

"Agreement?" Si Ren became more and more confused when he heard it, "Can you start from the beginning and make it clearer?"

"Hmm...that's how it is." Long Jiu sorted out his thoughts a bit, "Didn't you see Long Chen committing suicide by diving in my dream?"

"Ah."

"Then he often jumped into the water regardless of his own serious injuries and rescued Long Chen. However, Chen's body was already weak, and he was often injured, so it took a long time to find him at the bottom of the water. So By the time he was often brought ashore, he was practically hopeless."

"But you can also see Chang's character. It hasn't changed for so many years. He has always been so stubborn, stubborn, and loyal. Before Ji Dan died, he made him swear to protect Long Chen forever and bring Chen back to Teng Kingdom. Burying his family members fulfilled his wish, so when he found that it was impossible for Long Chen to open his eyes again, he decided to resort to witchcraft, even if he only saved a walking dead, he would make Chen come back to life."

"It's often an ordinary military commander who only knows kung fu and doesn't know witchcraft. In this way, he carried Long Chen on his back and entered the residence of the Diwan tribe. It was not far from the place where Long Chen threw himself into the water, but he was often injured. It's too heavy, and by the time he meets Dudu Wan, he won't be able to do it himself."

"However, according to Dudu later, he was also physically strong and extremely powerful. If he had been rescued first, he would have been fine. But he was also desperately refusing to allow Dudu to heal himself, and insisted that she save Long Chen first. Make things work. Dudu has no choice but to collect Long Chen's soul that has left his body and take him to a deep pool called Crouching Dragon in the deep mountains."

"But in fact, Wolongtan is not any other place. It is the fierce water that has imprisoned me for thousands of years. It's just that it's been too long. Except for monsters like me who can't die, no one remembers that ancient name anymore."

"Dudu knows that you are underwater?" Si Renren couldn't help but interjected to ask.

"Well, not only does she know, but she can also communicate with me. She can only see what other people are thinking, maybe it has something to do with that. Because before that, no one has ever discovered me. Although there have been Gods or monsters can perceive my existence, but they just know it. To understand my thoughts and convey their own meanings to me, in that case, Duduwan is the only one.”

"Enchantment is a very complicated spell, and the caster has to pay a high price and it is very dangerous. Once the spell fails, not only the ghosts and ghosts involved will be scattered, but the mage himself will also die. So people who understand that spell Rarely, before starting to perform the spell, the consent of both parties must be obtained first. In this way, after taking Chen’s soul away alone, she cast the spell and asked me if I wanted to return to the world and resurrect to take revenge. Of course I told her yes. Then she I also asked Chen whether he wanted to die like this and go to the underworld to be reincarnated, or whether he wanted monsters to attach to his soul so that he could regain his yang and become a healthy person."

"After Chen figured out what was going on, let Dudu ask me what I want to use his body for. I said revenge and resurrecting my real body. He asked Dudu again if I was attached to his soul, what would he do?" Can I still control my body and will I have my own feelings? I only answer that it is definitely impossible for him to control his body. As long as I successfully attach to his soul, his original body will no longer belong to him. As for I feel that there should be some in the beginning, but as I stay in his body longer and longer, I will become stronger and stronger, and he will slowly lose all of himself like a host being gradually swallowed by parasites. feeling."

"I thought Long Chen wouldn't agree with that. I think he would definitely choose to die like that. Even if he wanted to be resurrected, he wouldn't be willing to live like a puppet himself. Unexpectedly, Chen agreed. But he put forward three conditions. One is that I need to save the dead, the other is to kill Ji Xi to avenge the crown prince, and the third is to go back to Teng to try to find the corpses of his family members and bury them properly. Find some relics to build a tombstone. These three conditions are not difficult for me to meet as long as I have a body, so I readily agreed. But unexpectedly, after I reached an agreement with Long Chen, I was alone. Du asked me three more requests. First, she asked me to take her away and leave her tribe. She said that as long as she could take her away, she would use her ability to help me without reservation. Second, she said that I It was necessary for her to live forever, so that she could follow me until I found my real body. Thirdly, she asked me to restore her youth after I recovered my real demon power. I didn't quite understand the third requirement. But after I agreed to them, I rescued me from the bottom of the pool and attached Chen’s soul to me. It turned out that those who practiced this kind of magic had to pay a price almost equivalent to losing their lives── Dudu changed from a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to what she is now in an instant."

"Then we returned to Long Chen's body alone with the spirit possessed successfully. After I woke up from the pain, the first thing I did was to revive Yechang who had just died after exhausting the last trace of strength. Since then The three of us have been together forever."

"We killed Ji Xi first, then returned to Teng to fulfill Chen's wish, and then began to look for Yi's reincarnation, kill people for revenge, travel around mountains and rivers, recruit and organize our own army... just like this, we lived to the end of the year. Now."

"And the reason why you heard Chen asking for help is because I was seriously injured at the time, and he had a chance to recover his consciousness for a moment. Another one, although he promised at the beginning, he probably I didn’t think that it would be so painful when my soul was devoured and I didn’t feel anything.”

"Well, yes, about Chen is probably like this."

As a summary, Long Jiu looked at Si Ren and stopped talking, as if he had finished all he could tell him.

Si Ren scratched his head but couldn't figure it out, "Since the lonely Wan Ming knew that such a terrible thing would happen if you were brought back to life, why would she do that?"

"I don't know. I asked, but she refused to tell. Maybe it's for immortality."

"Who wants such a long life?"

"That's right. But when I fully recover, won't she be able to rejuvenate and live forever."

"The gamble is too high, isn't it? Nine reincarnations of the same person will take hundreds of years, at least. Someone can bear to live in that way for hundreds of years for the sake of immortality that will be realized in unknown years and months." Scary look?"

Long Jiu had nothing to say, "Then I really don't know what she is for."

Si Ren couldn't think of a reason, and thought of Long Chen again, "What about Chen's soul? How can we separate him from you?"

"I'm back to my real body."

"What will happen then?"

"This body will fester, decay and disappear in the blink of an eye. Chen will directly log into bliss or enter reincarnation."

"that's it?"

"Then what?" Long Jiu said with an understatement.

Si Ren sighed, "Yes."

Thinking about their respective concerns, the two were relatively silent for a while.

Long Jiu suddenly smiled and said, "What's your master's name? Let me hear it, maybe I don't know."

"Huh? This...you won't know."

"What? Afraid I would know? My reputation is not very good. Didn't your master say that he wanted to kill me for the sake of the people?"

Si Ren waved his hand hastily, "No...no. How could it be! Haha! His name...everyone calls him Old Man Tianfeng, but that shouldn't be his name. Actually, I don't even know what his real name is."

Long Jiu had never heard of this name, but he could already roughly guess the attitude of this Tianfeng.

He didn't expose Si Ren, "Where's your master, didn't he come last night? Why didn't I see it?"

"He said he had something else to do and left again."

"Oh, yes."

The two fell silent again, and another moment passed.

"Are you and Yi... are good friends?"

"It used to be...well."

Si Ren squatted in front of Long Jiu, and pulled his hand hanging between his legs into his arms, "Is it sad to be hurt by someone you trust?"

Long Jiu looked down at Si Ren and twitched the corner of his mouth, "There's nothing to be sad about. Don't make a pity for me, it's disgusting."

Si Ren leaned closer to Long Jiu again, and simply put his arms around his waist, "If you're not sad, why would you have to kill again and again to relieve your hatred?"

"That's because he shot me nine arrows, and I want to return them all. I..."

"Little Blade..."

Huan'er didn't know when she opened her eyes, and she was staring intently at the two people beside the bed who were acting ambiguously.

Si Ren stood up abruptly, but bumped into Long Jiu's chin, and both of them screamed at the same time.Long Jiu stuck his tongue out and was knocked over on the bed. He covered his mouth and rolled back and forth in pain.Si Ren covered his head and stared at the stars, and couldn't stop hopping on the ground in pain.
