Chapter 44: Haechi(1/2)
Ling Ning's body was swallowed up by dark flames. When he came to his senses, he had arrived in the source space. He could sense the situation outside when he closed his eyes, but he could not control his body. Although he was still hesitant to believe the palace master.
, but compared to being deprived of his body, he could not bear his own powerlessness even more.
The scene of his father Ling Yuan dying in front of him kept flashing through his mind. He could not completely forget that suffocating scene for a moment. He didn't want to mention it to anyone. Maybe in the eyes of others, he was already strong enough to
Sweeping the monks of his generation, but in his own heart, he was still the weak and powerless ant who could only watch his father die in front of his eyes. This was a thorn in his heart. Although he tried hard to avoid it, he always felt it.
exist.
Outside the source space, the dark flames faded away. Although the person in front of her was still Ling Ning, her consciousness had been occupied by the palace owner. "Ling Ning" had an excited look on her face, and she kept moving her limbs as if she was feeling the "raw" feeling.
pleasure.
"Is this the sense of touch? It hurts...it's been so many years...I finally left that hellish place! Hahahahahaha!"
The commander was keenly aware that the person in front of him seemed to have changed. Even Qian Meier and Ruoxue faintly noticed that something was wrong, but they were too weak to intervene in the conversation between them.
"Huh? Who are you? You're not that boy! Where did that boy go?" the commander asked with interest. Although Ling Ning's change was unexpected, he was not nervous at all but in great interest. It seemed that everything
It's all under his control.
"who I am?"
"Ling Ning" had a look of confusion on her face. To the palace master, since she had borrowed Ling Ning's body, she was no longer Ling Ning. But maybe she didn't know who she was. After thinking for a moment, she smiled slyly.
Said: "Who am I? I am... Ling Mo!"
Ling Mo is the nickname she chose for herself, and the palace master has decided that if Ling Ning's body is used, she will call herself by this name.
"Ling Mo? No matter who you are or what tricks you are up to, you'd better tell the truth. If you hide it, hey, I guarantee you will die in embarrassment!"
Ling Mo's left shoulder was suddenly cut open by an invisible sharp blade, and blood spurted out. This was obviously a warning to her.
Not only did Ling Mo show no sign of pain, but she looked like she was enjoying it. This long-lost pain seemed to be the highest reward she had ever dreamed of.
"I know you won't kill me!" Ling Mo looked into the commander's eyes and smiled.
"Oh? Are you so confident?" the commander said calmly.
"certainly!"
"Why?"
"Because there are still many puzzles about me that you can't figure out!"
"Hey, what is this? I don't care at all. If I want, I can kill you at any time. I can still find out the answer to the mystery after you die."
"No, no, no, you can't..." Ling Mo shook his head, then looked at him and said, "I know that feeling. You must have lived for a long time, right? You have been repeating this kind of work for a long time.
...That kind of boredom can sometimes drive people crazy, right? You need a diversion, so you won't kill me."
Ling Mo's eyes seemed to have some kind of magical power, able to see through the commander's mask and his inner thoughts.
The commander seemed to have been hit by what she said. His tone changed slightly and he said, "Who are you?"
"Have you ever heard of 'twin souls'?"
The so-called "twin souls in one body" means that there are two different souls in one body. This situation is because one of the twins died in the mother's womb, and his soul refused to leave and had to attach itself to the body of the twin.
In. Or the monk failed to seize the body and was forced to share the body with the host. This situation is not rare.
The commander understood immediately upon hearing this. He said "Oh" and seemed to have lost the slightest interest.
"No matter what, I won the bet just now, and I will carry out the punishment now!" As he said this, the commander raised his palm, as if when he lowered his hand, Qian, the two women would die on the spot.
"Hahaha, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, I don't know them at all, and I don't care about their lives."
"Oh really?"
"Yes, if you think it will hurt me if you do this, you are completely wrong."
The two looked at each other. After a moment, the commander slowly put down his hand. He knew that what the other party said was true. He could judge the authenticity of things from a person's eyes. He had this ability. Since the other party didn't care about him at all
He can't get pleasure from the other person's painful reaction, so why bother doing it? He never does unnecessary things.
Seeing him put down his hand, Ling Mo smiled and said, "I want to bet with you again. I wonder if you dare?"
"Humph, you also want to bet with me? Can you afford the bet?"
"If I lose, you can have our souls, and we will swear to be loyal to you forever. If you lose, I want you to let everyone go!"
"Hehehehe! I won't bet you that your souls can't escape from my hands. Besides, do you have to exchange just two souls for all the souls in my hand? Hehehe, that's ridiculous."
"No, you just need to let go of those people you just captured today. You should know that the number of souls is not the most important. What is important is that we will be willing to be loyal to you forever. You can conquer all souls with force, but you cannot
Make them willing, you should understand the value, and our souls are definitely worth it."
The commander gave a rare nod: "You seem to understand the soul very well... Even if what you say makes sense, after what you just experienced, you are not afraid of me... Hehe..."
What he meant was, "Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word again?" Ling Mo naturally knew this, but she seemed to have her own plans.
"So this time I want you to make a contract with me. This will ensure that you will not regret it."
"Oh? It's not impossible to make a contract, but I'm not boasting. There are very few contracts that can bind me. Are you sure that the contract you know can bind me? Hehe, I can play with you, anyway, I am
You won’t lose.”
"I want you to sign the 'Haechi Contract' with me. Do you dare?"
The smile on the commander's face suddenly disappeared: "Who are you? You actually know about the 'Haechi Contract'?"
The "Haechi Contract" is an extremely powerful fair contract spread in ancient times. Many ancient great masters would sign this contract when making bets to ensure absolute fairness.
"Haizhi" is a powerful mythical beast in ancient times. The big one is like a cow, and the small one is like a sheep. It is similar to a unicorn. Its whole body is covered with thick dark hair, its eyes are bright and lively, and it has a long forehead.
One-horned. "Xie Zhi" is extremely intelligent and understands people's speech and human nature. It has angry eyes, can distinguish right from wrong, good and evil, loyalty and traitor. If it finds a treacherous person, it will knock him down with its horn, and then
Eat it in your stomach. Therefore, it was also used as a symbol of bravery and justice in ancient times.
Not everyone can perform the "Haechi Contract". Often only those with great supernatural powers can "invite" the Haechi. Therefore, there are not many people who can do it. In addition, later monks gradually use simpler methods.
"Tao Xin" swears, obviously this method is more "approachable", which makes this ancient contract gradually forgotten.
"Didn't I just give my name? Do you dare to have a fair bet with me? If you are afraid of losing or you can't invite Xie Zhi, then forget it. After all, you are just a small person in the human world.
Role……"
Facing Ling Mo's "aggressive" commander, he didn't get angry but smiled instead: "Who said I don't dare? I just want to make a bet with you! What do you want to bet on?"
Ling Mo smiled slightly: "Since you have your own 'field', I believe you are not an ordinary person. How about this, let me guess your name? If I guess it right, you will unconditionally release all the people caught today."
Man, if I lose, that kid and I will willingly dedicate our souls to you!"
The commander looked up to the sky and burst into laughter: "If so, then do it! Look at me!"
He waved his sleeves and drew complicated patterns in the void with his hands, and at the same time muttered something in his mouth. A scroll composed of golden spiritual power gradually condensed in his hand. The vermilion spiritual power recorded the details of the bet between the two parties in
Above. He pushed the scroll down in front of Ling Mo and said, "What do you think of the content of the bet?"
Ling Mo looked at it roughly a few times, and when he saw that the content was probably the same as what they just said, he nodded and said: "Okay, you're not playing any tricks."
The commander snorted and squeezed a drop of blood from his fingertips into the scroll. Then he let go of Ling Mo's hand, and Ling Mo also dripped a drop of blood into it.
"By the way, lest you refuse to admit it, you have to write your real name on the scroll."
"What's so difficult about this?" The commander agreed without thinking. He left his name on the scroll, rolled up the scroll and began to chant the incantation. Suddenly, the golden light of the scroll emitted, and the space was distorted and a bird jumped out of it.
A strange beast the size of a calf!
This beast has an ink-like body and a shape like a unicorn, and its eyes are like small lanterns emitting golden light. It opens its big mouth full of fangs and roars to the sky. Despite its small size, this roar is very loud, floating around.
The ghosts were instantly frightened and fled in all directions, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Then the strange beast bit the scroll in its mouth and sat on the ground, staring at the two people's every move.
Ling Ning, who was in the source space, also felt this legendary beast. He could clearly feel a very dangerous aura emanating from it. This aura was not murderous, but a majestic one, as if it was the most dangerous beast in the world.
The right and wrong of all things are determined by the little beast in front of you, and no one can have any objection!
"The contract has been made. In order to prevent you from saying that I bullied you, I will give you three chances." The white mask on the commander's face cracked open again, revealing a strange smile, and he seemed to have a winning chance.
Ling Mo didn't panic at all, she calmly said: "Why don't you give me some hints?"
"No, no, no, we don't have this clause in the contract. Letting you guess three times is the greatest kindness I can give you."
"Hey, do you think it's really hard to guess? You underestimate me too much."
"Oh? So you already have the 'first' answer?"
The commander emphasized "the first one" obviously because he didn't believe that she could guess his name at once.
"Let me try to analyze it. This weird thick fog should be your 'domain'. To have your own domain, it is obvious that your cultivation level is not low, and you can actually move freely in the mortal world.
Obviously you are not an ordinary monk..."
The commander looked at her with a smile on his face and had no intention of speaking.
"...Hey, I see you are not a monk at all! You must be an immortal, right? The so-called 'immortal'."
"Hehe." The commander just chuckled noncommittally.
"The fairy court in the center of the upper world has long since collapsed, and the fact that you can still retain the 'immortal book' shows that you are an immortal who is far away from the 'battlefield'... and it is also related to the soul... you are the judge of the underworld!"
"Hahahahaha!" The commander looked up to the sky and smiled, "Is this your conclusion? It's too ridiculous!"
Haechi on the side was still staring at the two of them with no other reaction. It was obvious that Ling Mo had answered wrongly.
To be continued...
