Chapter 142: Hang him out to dry.
Jiang Luo just smiled politely, and within that smile, he was a bit surprised that this person kept pestering him.
"...... "The funeral store owner said, "Let me tell you about the effect of this earring. It's called a 'Soul Pendant', and although it's wearing the shell of a 'Soul Pendant', it actually serves to calm the mind. It can help you clear your mind and keep you in control. Not only that, it also has a small function. Can let the wearer have the power to peep into other people's soul worlds once a day, after all the name is called Soul Pendant, although it can't take in your soul, but it can take in other people's souls. ......"
The funeral store boasted about the dangling spike earrings as being unparalleled, and Jiang Luo waited for him to finish before asking nonchalantly, "Why did you have to make me wear them?"
The conversation turns back to the beginning, the funeral parlor owner is about to break down, "Such a good thing, don't you have a heart?"
Jiang Luo clutched the dangling spike earrings firmly and shook his head.
The funeral store owner said, "...... Forget it. I'm letting you wear it for your own good because I don't want you to kill him ......" He changed his tone and said, "In this world, do you know who the best smith is?"
Jiang Luo only knew Kuang Zheng as a refiner, and he said with a straight face, "Kuang Zheng."
The funeral store owner laughed, "He is very talented, I can't help but teach him something. But you should know that everything that your Birch University students bought from my store was made by my hands, including this Dementor Pendant in your hand, which also came from my hands."
Jiang Luo could not help but look at him again, the funeral parlor owner turned his beads and lifted his chest, showing a reserved look of "although I am very proud, but I still have to humbly wait for you to praise me".
The ginseng essence in Jiang Luo's arms applauded him.
The funeral store owner coughed lightly and was about to say something else when Jiang Luo asked, "Did you make my Yin Yang Ring, too?"
The funeral store owner, his face masked in a layer of mourning, froze as the smile at the corners of his mouth flattened and slowly straightened again, "No."
He looked deeply at Jiang Luo, "That's what the Fated did."
"He placed the Ring of Yin and Yang in my store, waiting for someone with a destiny to take it away," Ji Yaozi said, "There are twelve golden secret incantations on it. It was engraved by his own hand, and each of the golden secret spells is the presence of the Heavenly Killer Evil Demon, which was a gift that he, long ago, prepared for someone."
"And you, you're the only one who found the Yin-Yang Ring."
Jiang Luo's face became ugly for a moment.
*
Before the Yin Yang Ring was almost crushed by Jiang Luo, he frowned, "There are clearly thirteen secret texts on the Yin Yang Ring."
"I haven't finished yet," Ji Yaozi said, "I saw that the Yin-Yang Ring had been dusty for a long time, so I refined it again and added a secret message. What the Yin-Yang Ring does now depends on its owner's destiny with it."
He shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know exactly what the Yin Yang Ring has the ability to do after being opened by you, but it should be the same old three things? Defining directions, dividing good and bad fortune, and determining yin and yang? But people who are not outstanding in talent and strength, especially those who don't even dare to try opening the Yin-Yang Ring, won't be able to utilize much of the Yin-Yang Ring's effects."
The funeral parlor owner said this casually, but in a flash of lightning, Jiang Luo seemed to understand something.
Did Ji Yaozi refine the Yin-Yang Ring simply because he was worried that it would be spoiled after being unused for a long time? No, he just wanted to change the weapon that the Fated One had left for "someone", so as to give Chi You a little hope of survival. Like the Soul Pendant, he just didn't want Jiang Luo to be brainwashed by the Fate to kill Chi You, so he prepared something for Jiang Luo instead.
The Yin-Yang Ring was a weapon that the Fated Man had left to Jiang Luo an unknown number of years ago, and the first three movements were indeed exactly the same as Ji Yaozi's said ability. The fourth move, however, was to draw in the ghosts.
Bring in the most powerful ghost in the world, and the ghost will help Jiang Luo do one thing, but Jiang Luo will also need to fulfill whatever the ghost asks of him.
If this most powerful ghost is Chi You, hypothetically speaking, Jiang Luo has really been successfully brainwashed by the Fated Man, and he fights Chi You to a standstill. The twelve signs of the Zodiac can only make him and Chi You fight each other, and in the end, Jiang Luo can't help but activate the fourth action of the Yin Yang Ring, and the result is that the ghost summoned is his rival Chi You ......
Jiang Luo's surface is slightly distorted.
That's a really, really beautiful image.
But having said that, Jiang Luo also believed in Ji Yaozi, who, if he wanted to harm him, could have taken Jiang Luo by surprise with just a yin-yang ring.
He is sincere enough to tell a lot of things, what's more, Ji Yaozi does not himself personally send up this earring, but instead handed it over to Wen Ren Lian and the others, side by side, it shows that he also has no choice but to do so, at least on the surface, he does not dare to brightly and openly help Jiang Luo, and favors Chi You.
Jiang Luo looked at Feng Li and Taoist Wei He in front of him, seeing that they were not paying attention, Jiang Luo also stopped pretending, he turned his head under the cover of the shadow and smiled grimly at Ji Yaozi.
The smile was full of venomous nastiness, Jiang Luo lowered his voice and slowly said, "Oh, so this earring was refined by you, or you specially found someone to give it to me."
In the eyes of the funeral store owner, who was shocked to the point of incredulity, the black-haired youth picked up the corners of his crimson lips, "Ji Yaozi, Lao Ji ah, it turns out that you're so considerate of me, I didn't even know that, but it turns out that you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope ah."
Ji Yaozi: "......"
He barely got his breath back.
Voice trembling, "You, you're faking it?"
Ji Yaozi can't disobey the Fated Man, so he has to help Jiang Luo in secret. he thought that after a big detour to get Wen Renlian to send them the Soul Pendant, he would be able to do it, but in the end, when he saw that Jiang Luo had been cleansed of his desires and still refused to use the Soul Pendant, he was anxious and completely revealed his bottom.
It's over. He's exposed now.
The person who had him exposed was still humming and laughing, like a demon, "Old Ji, ah, I'm so thankful that you're so well-intentioned to help me secretly. Don't worry, I definitely won't expose you, and I definitely won't tell anyone else about what you've done."
Threats, this is a naked threat! He's clearly saying: if you don't take my side, I'm going to tell people what you've done in private oh.
Ji Yaozi's heart is half cold.
Is Jiang Luo still a human being?
Not only have they not been cleansed of their desires, but they're also tricking them into lying to them?
In the middle of the day, he let out a bitter smile, completely recognizing his fate.
It's just a matter of time, and he deserves it.
Not daring to rebel against the predestined person openly, but also wanting to secretly stop things from going in a bad direction. So inside and out, sooner or later, there will be a day of reckoning.
He thought about it and was happy again.
The person who was counting on him was Jiang Luo, and he liked Jiang Luo's character of being cruel to himself and even more cruel to others, he could stay awake without the help of his Soul Pendant, and even fooled them around. Thinking about it, Ji Yaozi was full of confidence in the future.
If it was Jiang Luo, I guess it could have changed the future ending.
The funeral store owner thought about it and also said dryly, "I'm not good at helping you with anything on the surface, but if there's anything you need me to do, just say so, and I definitely won't push back if I can."
Taoist Master Wei He in front of them had already led them into the house, and now was not a good time to talk, Jiang Luo shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later."
At this dinner, Jiang Luo was the only one who was hungry and ate well, he ate the meat, and the ginseng spirit nibbled on the vegetable leaves. The two people were satisfied, and when they were full, they did not delay the elders' conversation, and prepared themselves to go back to their rooms.
Feng Li put down his wine glass and said with a commanding tone, "Don't run around, go straight to your room."
Jiang Luo's smile remained unchanged, "Good."
Back in the room, it was eight o'clock in the evening.
Jiang Luo put the ginseng essence in the house and went out alone to find a lump of ice. He used the ice to freeze his ear, and after his left earlobe was numb and insensitive, Jiang Luo took the Dementor Pendant and passed it through the earlobe flesh without blinking.
The regal pendant was as long as the palm of a grown man's hand, delicate and soulful. Three long, colorful red hanging spikes dangled among the black hair, black and red intertwined, beautiful and charming.
The Soul Pendant looks heavy, but when picked up it is extremely light, and I don't know what material is used, but the pendant looks like a feather flying in the wind, and it doesn't give Jiang Luo any burden at all.
After putting on the Dementor Pendant, Jiang Luo examined himself in front of the mirror.
It's no longer unusual for a man to have his ears pierced, and the exotic soul-stirring pendant that looms under his hair not only doesn't damage the diffidence in Jiang Luo's eyes, but adds a bit of bewitchment.
The man in the mirror and the earrings, either one is beautiful.
But if the evil spirit saw it, he would be angry that his earlobes had been pierced without his permission.
Jiang Luo looked at the moon and his eyes twinkled for a moment. Starting to think about whether to utilize the evil spirits or not tonight.
Finally, he pleasurably decided to call it a night.
It was just as well that the soul pendant had arrived, so he could test its effect tomorrow. Secondly, although the insatiable and greedy look of the evil spirit made Jiang Luo feel the satisfaction of making Chi You fall in love with him, but his words of possessing Jiang Luo's skin and blood without any concealment made Jiang Luo very unhappy.
Simply hang him out to dry.
