Chapter 155: The future ruled by Chi You

Feng Li followed the monk to a cave.

The sound of water pattering, listening to this sound, it seems like there is a dark river flowing inside. Feng Li's face was pale, although he followed the enemy to an unknown place, he was not worried.

As the youngest Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, he was revered and feared by countless people, and naturally had the confidence that he would be able to retreat even if he went deep into the dragon's and tiger's dens.

After walking for a while, Ge Wuchen stopped in his tracks, turned around and respectfully said, "Heavenly Master, my master is just ahead, please go in."

Feng Li glanced at him faintly and walked in without haste.

Soon, Feng Li saw a familiar black figure by the dark river.

Tianshi's stern eyes narrowed, meaninglessly saying, "Chi You."

The evil spirit turned his head sideways, the handsome man's face was pale, the corners of his lips were raised high, his tail trailed off, the side of his face reflected the mysterious ripples of the dark river, he said slowly, "Heavenly Master, it's really been a long time."

Feng Li turned the jade wrench on his hand, and his aura pressed up fiercely, with a horrible killing intent.

"The Celestial Master doesn't have to be so nervous," the evil spirit shrugged helplessly, "I invited you here just to talk to the Celestial Master about cooperation."

"Cooperation?" Feng Li's tone mocked, "Cooperation in selling my disciples to you?"

The Evil Ghost abruptly bent down and laughed, the laughter echoed continuously in the cavern, eerie and eerie, only to stop with difficulty a few moments later, apologizing, "I'm sorry for my rudeness, it's just that the Heavenly Master's sentence is too funny, as if Jiang Luo is something that belongs to you."

Feng Li pursed his lips straight in displeasure, his fingers forming a seal in front of his chest as the evil spirit said slowly, "The Celestial Master doesn't want to know those little secrets anymore?"

Feng Li hands down a beat.

The evil spirit looked back at the dark river, "This is the water from the Lian Family's Tian Bi Pool, it will flow to the Great Spring Pool in the old mansion. I'm sure the celestial master has experienced the efficacy of the holy water, and I have to say that it works very well."

Feng Li lowered his hand as he looked towards Dark River and said with slight mockery, "The Ge Wuchen who rebelled against the Buddha has actually defected to you, the last Chi family ruler is indeed not to be underestimated. To still have such great skills even after death, compared to Chi Zhongye, you are too much better him."

The villain smiled and the gentleman fluttered, "Thank you."

Feng Li turned the jade trigger, "How did you know about my relationship with Ji Yaozi and the Fated One?"

"There are a few other people who know about this besides you, Celestial Master, and they all know more than you do," the evil spirit suddenly smiled, "such as the fact that the Predestined Man is using your body as his second body."

Feng Li crushed the jade trigger on his finger in one fell swoop, his eyes sank down, and after a wild storm swept over him, he calmly asked, "What else do you know?"

The evil spirit deliberately pondered this and said, "That's a lot."

Feng Li was about to say something else, but the evil spirit suddenly looked up into the air, and after a few seconds extended its hand.

A ball of paper ash suddenly appeared in the air, slowly condensing into a greenish-white card in the Evil Ghost's hand. The evil ghost stared at the piece of paper for a long time, his smile suddenly changed somewhat, he said with a low laugh, "Surprisingly ......"

Feng Li frowned as the Evil Ghost held the card between two fingers and placed it in his pocket, his attitude becoming slightly more distracted as he said, "Let's pick up the pace, Celestial Master."

He looked over at Feng Li, a scarlet glint in his eyes, and whispered, "I'm still waiting to go on a date."

Feng Li's eyes were blank for a moment, his eyes lost focus, lost his mind and stiffened in place.

The evil ghost sighed, ''Heavenly Master, it's really not easy to control you. Even now, I'm only able to give you some implied commands that you can't detect, I used to want to refine you into my puppet, but who let your disciple attract away most of my attention? Causing me to have given up on you."

"Originally, I wasn't going to go after you so soon," the evil spirit sighed, "but you and Jiang Luo got too close."

He bowed his head slightly, shadows roiling up his eyes as the handsome villain's eyes turned cold and unfeeling as he said, "This upsets me."

"If you want to learn the art of channeling well, it is best to remain a child," Ji Yaozi made a point of glancing at Jiang Luo, "because a child's body has the most yang energy, and it is easy to gather clean aura. But you don't need to obsess about it now, just do as much as you can."

Jiang Luo nodded, "Lao Ji, what exactly is psionics?"

"Everything has a spirit," Ji Yaozi said, "human beings have a spirit, ghosts have a spirit, and animals and plants have a spirit. It would be too monotonous for you to understand psychic arts as simply a technique for dealing with ghosts alone. But psychic art is not that strong, although everything has a spirit, but you can only choose to practice the same, can be practiced to what kind of psychic status, but also depends on how much air in your body."

Ji Yaozi held out his hand, and a sharp needle suddenly flew out of his sleeve, swerved through the fallen leaves on the tree and flew back, stopping directly in front of the two of them.

"I chose the artifact spirit," Ji Yaozi said, "The spirits of all things have their own will, and they will also choose you in reverse. I like refining artifacts and spend the longest time with them, fortunately they like me too, we have the same mind, and we can learn the psychic art with half the effort, so you also have to choose a direction that suits you the most to learn."

Ji Yaozi put the pointed needle back, "There are also people who call this hand of mine the Imperial Weapon, and it's actually true."

Jiang Luo was so impressed by this skill, "So if you've practiced as a Weapon Spirit, is it impossible for others to do the same?"

"Or they could," Ji Yaozi puffed out his chest slightly, "but if they weren't as talented as I am, they'd just settle for second place forever, and wouldn't be able to surpass me in any way."

Second forever, that's too much to hold back.

Ji Yaozi said, "What aspect of psionics are you going to use?"

Jiang Luo asks with an open mind, "What do you suggest?"

Ji Yaozi thought for a moment and spoke eloquently with his hands behind his back, "This psychic art can encompass everything, whether it's wind, water, thunder and lightning, or gold, wood, water, fire and earth, as long as it's practiced properly, whichever one of them is immensely powerful, all these things in front of your eyes can be felt to see if you can experience the spirit within them."

Jiang Luo nodded understandingly, "I'll think about it."

What kind of things are readily available, battle-hardened, and varied?

Jiang Luo is very fond of greenery, but the growth of greenery also needs the cooperation of the environment, if in the winter, in the deep sea, in the wasteland without greenery, even if he mastered the spirit of the plant, but also can't play a role.

"It's really not easy to choose, after all, there are so many things with spirits, who knows which one is the most suitable for you?" Ji Yaozi kindly said, "Go back and read the book, and try to pick the item you want to be psychic before you go."

Jiang Luo nodded and suddenly said, "So the Speech Spirit can be chosen?"

Ji Yaozi froze, then his face sank slightly, "Someone has already chosen the Spirit of Speech, in the event that he has, it would be best for you not to choose the same thing as him."

Jiang Luo thoughtfully thanked Ji Yaozi and went back to his room to continue reading.

But after flipping through a book, Jiang Luo still didn't know what to use for channeling.

Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, of course, but the five elements are mutually reinforcing, and as long as one of them is learned, there is another way to break it. Moreover, Jiang Luo is a greedy person, he is not willing to learn only one of them.

He wanted to suppress the evil spirits and protect the people he wanted to protect, so the choice was too deliberate, and Jiang Luo's attitude couldn't have been more careful.

By the time he looked up from his book, it was dark outside.

The ginseng essence was carefully removing the rose from the table and squeezing two tears into the vase. With the tears of the five hundred year old ginseng spirit, even at night, the rose still bloomed magnificently and scorchingly.

Jiang Luo said, "What are you doing?"

The ginseng doll jerked as if he had woken it up, scratched its head, and said honestly, "I was watering the flowers."

Jiang Luo looked out the window, "Don't water it, it's getting dark."

The ginseng doll responded sluggishly and slowly made its way back to the bed, falling fast asleep on Jiang Luo's pillow.

Jiang Luo washed up and lay down, his nose breath smelling of minty toothpaste. He looked at the ceiling for a while, the talisman in his hand crumpling as he turned it around in his fingertips, before finally putting it away and slowly closing his eyes.

Since arriving at the top of the mountain, he had only met Chi You once in a dream.

I have to say, the "crazy pursuit" that the evil spirit talked about really piqued Jiang Luo's interest.

--He can give alms to the evil spirits for a meeting.

*

"Master, please believe me, this time I will definitely make Jiang Shi Zhu impressed with you."

Ge Wuchen's voice was unhurried and confident, "You only need to show your strength, financial power and ambition, and Jiang Shi Zhu will naturally fall for your charm."

No one knows better than Chi You how to make people feel good about themselves and how to use their personal charms to win over their subordinates. But how to woo Jiang Luo is really Chi You's first time.

And he doesn't want to treat Jiang Luo the same way he did in the past.

In fact, Chi You even wanted to kill Jiang Luo after realizing that she had fallen in love with him.

Only when Jiang Luo dies will he belong to him completely. But Ge Wuchen, knowing this idea of his, immediately persuaded him to let go of this idea, what if Jiang Luo died and would not turn into an evil spirit?

Or what if death affects his character so that he won't make Chi You so much fun anymore?

Chi You was convinced by him.

After all, the current Jiang Luo is not the Jiang Luo of the past, and even Chi You can't guarantee whether or not Jiang Luo will disappear into the world after his death.

On the bed, Chi You lazily closed his eyes, adding a few sickly-like pallor to his pale face, a vaguely excited smile on his lips, which looked rather neurotic on the large, neat bed, along with the straight suit he wore when he went to sleep.

"Strength, ambition?" He grunted, "Ge Wuchen, what do you want to do?"

"I just put the appearance of the metaphysical world that you will rule in the future into the dream, to show Jiang Shi Zhu the power of you master," Ge Wuchen smiled unchanged, "More than that, I have also informed Teng Bi that he will let Jiang Shi Zhu's friends along to I have also informed Teng Bi that he will ask Jiang Shi Zhu's friends to follow Jiang Shi Zhu into the dream, and in the dream, your relationship with Jiang Shi Zhu can be made known to that group of human beings in an open and honorable manner."

Chi You thought of Wenren Lian's group's repulsive attitude towards him approaching Jiang Luo at the hotpot restaurant, the corner of his mouth lightly quirked, "That's a good idea."

Ge Wuchen smiled slightly and then worried, "Master, but would such a dream world be too dangerous?"

"The more dangerous the better," Chi You said languidly, "and he'll love it."

He tapped his fingers pleasantly on his abdomen, "And I get to be a hero."

Ge Wuchen nods, "Then master, I will leave you alone."

He exited the room, closed the door, and after standing in place for a few seconds, Ge Wuchen walked to the door and found Hua Li, asking him to communicate with Teng Bi that it was time to strike.

Teng Bi said, "Got it."

After Hua Li's voice stopped ringing in his head, Teng Bi pursed his lips as he looked at the room full of people lying around.

During the dinner time, he put some ingredients and everyone fainted. Thanks to the time of the trial, all of them stayed in Lu Youyi's apartment, and even Sai Liaoer, who was abroad, came back with them, in order not to have accidents caused by the lack of numbers.

Teng Bi remembered what Ge Wuchen had said to him in the afternoon.

"At night, you let those people enter the master's dream world with Jiang Luo," Ge Wuchen said, "I will persuade the master to show what the master will be like after he rules the metaphysical world in the dream world, and only if you make Jiang Luo and the others realize the dangers of that world, will Jiang Luo will only stop the Master if they realize the dangers of that world."

He repeated, "In this world, only Jiang Luo could pull his master to give up such a terrible thought."

"You don't want them to die either, Teng Bi," Ge Wuchen concluded.

Teng Bi came back to his senses, and with a little want of a sigh, he said to himself, "I know."

He took out a needle, took the lead and walked over to Lu Youyi and squatted down, pierced Lu Youyi's finger and took a drop of blood and placed it in the center of Lu Youyi's eyebrow.

The unconscious Lu Youyi frowned in disbelief and struggled with his fingers.

Teng Bi clutched his hand and pressed a cotton swab against the needle-like wound as he silently watched Lu Youyi's face.

"I hope you know that when I get my memory back ......" he said, "you'll still invite me to New Year's Eve dinner, my friend."

*

Jiang Luo opened his eyes, and the harsh light from the ceiling made his eyes hurt.

He held his hand over the light and rolled up to find himself in the middle of a hotel.

What about Chi You?

The room was extremely shabby, like a small hotel where you could stay for fifty dollars a night. The bedding on the bed was spilled with beer, and there were holes from cigarettes. The ceiling and walls were plastered with newspaper in many places, and some of the newspaper had fallen halfway down, revealing moldy wallpaper underneath.

Jiang Luo looked around and felt that there was something different about the dream this time.

He lifted the covers and walked to the table, holding onto the wall. The touch of the wall was so real that it made people doubt whether it was a dream or not. He walked to the table and sat down, and on the table was a notebook, on which was surprisingly Jiang Luo's own handwriting.

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows, his interest in the content of the dream Chi You had created this time rising. He flipped through the diary, which only had the first page of writing inside.

It was written on a short half page, from which Jiang Luo realized that he had a new identity in his dream. He is still called Jiang Luo, but he is a love-brain who dropped out of college and ran away with a wild man. Now he is running away with his "husband" to a small hotel.

He and his "husband" had spent all the money they had, and his "husband" had decided to stay and work for a while to pay for the rest of the journey. His "husband" was working outside and would be back from work by six o'clock.

Jiang Luo looked up at the clock on the wall, it is now 5:00 p.m., there is still an hour, his "husband" will be back.

The dream seemed to have some meaning, and Jiang Luo got up and turned the room around.

He found a cell phone next to his pillow, and in the phone's address book there was only one number with the note "husband". In addition, there was a Q/Q and WeChat.

Jiang Luo clicked on Q/Q and found that there was a group of Birch University's Natural Science and Social Studies 01 class, "Please burn incense if you have any problems.

The group was Lu Youyi's group, and their avatars were all online, but Jiang Luo's finger moved a few times, but he didn't click in.

Lu Youyi How could they be in a dream, presumably it's the same dummies as those in the last classroom teacher and student again.

Never mind, Jiang Luo put down his cell phone for the time being and proceeded to check the contents of the room.

The poor and shabby inn is instantly recognizable, and Jiang Luo drills down to the toilet to check it out, but finds the mirror in the toilet in tatters, shattered into pieces.

Large and small fragments were barely framed in the mirror, illuminating Jiang Luo's face in a distorted and fragmented way that was vaguely eerie.

The mirror in the restroom was broken, which was not a good sign. Jiang Luo turned around and exited the bathroom, walked over to the bed and dialed the hotel front desk.

"Beep, beep, beep ......"

It took a while before the phone dialed, and a male voice came from the other side, "Hello, guest from 203?"

203, Jiang Luo wrote down the door number of this room, "The mirror in my toilet is broken, have someone come and fix it."

Surprisingly, the service attitude of this hotel was very good, "Okay guest, we will send someone over to fix it now, please be patient for a minute."

The other party hung up the phone without waiting for Jiang Luo to respond, Jiang Luo felt a little strange. He looked up at the clock on the wall, the seconds quickly turned around, and just after a minute had passed, there was a knock at the door.

The knock on the door was deadpan three times.

Jiang Luo slowly walked in by the door, his brow furrowed in disbelief.

Strange, the soundproofing in a small hotel like this was thought to be bad. Why did someone walk up to his door when he hadn't heard any footsteps at all in the previous sixty seconds?

There was a cat's eye on the door, and Jiang Luo walked over and looked out through it. The corridor was dark and there was nothing there.

There's no one out there. How did that knock come about?

Jiang Luo hadn't yet backed away from the cat's eye as he took a closer look, but with decent night vision he really didn't see anything in the darkened hallway this time. Jiang Luo was about to leave the door when there were three more knocks on the door of his room.

Grass.

Jiang Luo steps back and away from the door.

Sure enough, there's something odd.

Jiang Luo doesn't have any yin and yang rings or talismans on his body, so he tries sealing and drawing his own talismans, but finds that neither of them is effective. It looks like Chi You wants to play a big game this time.

Jiang Luo gave a sigh of relief, as expected, he hadn't guessed wrong, the evil spirit's words of crazy pursuit was to play him to death, right?

The hotel phone next to the bed suddenly rang.

Jiang Luo walked over and picked up the microphone, the innkeeper's voice became a little more impatient than it was just now, "Guest, our people are at the door of your room, why don't you open the door for him?"

Jiang Luo told a lie without changing his face, "Is it here yet? I didn't hear it. Did he knock on the wrong door?"

The innkeeper affirmed, "There's no knocking mistake, he's waiting at the 203 door right now, you open the door for him or ......" his voice became eerie, "Otherwise, guest, you'll have to pay an extra haircut if you tell a lie fine."

Jiang Luo hung up the phone directly.

In the next second, the phone began to ring like crazy, as if it would vibrate from the table to the floor. At the same time, the knocking sound outside the door also followed, Jiang Luo witnesses stood beside the phone, I don't know how long it took, the phone finally stopped, and the sound outside the door also stopped.

Before Jiang Luo could breathe a sigh of relief, his cell phone vibrated again.

Jiang Luo frowned and picked up his cell phone, noticing an unread text message in his mailbox.

He clicked on the text message, which contained a surreptitious photo.

He was the main character who was secretly photographed.

The dark-haired young man was standing in front of the nightstand, checking his phone with his head down, his black hair draped over his shoulders, the eerie blue light reflecting on his face.

There was a threat attached to the bottom: [Open the door now!

With a chill rising from his back, Jiang Luo took a deep breath and started comparing the angles of this sneak peek.

Elevation shot from below, within two meters ......

His gaze slowly moved to the bottom of the bed.

The bottom of the bed was thirty centimeters wide, and from his point of view, nothing could be seen underneath it in the dark.

There is a man hiding under the bed in the room?

...... or a ghost?
