Chapter 187: I'm the only one who can't
"Why did you ......" Jiang Luo said with difficulty, "kidnap them."
The evil spirit laughed low, his voice gentle, "Because they can't cure you."
He lifted Jiang Luo's face and dropped a kiss at the corner of Jiang Luo's blood-pale lips, his tongue reaching out and curling away the blood that remained on Jiang Luo's lips, "Because they let you get hurt on their turf."
His face is crawling with ghost lines, and when you get close to him, the ghost lines look more like they are alive. Placed on Chi You's face, although the ghost lines were ugly and hideous, but after seeing it for a long time, it also had a bit of demonic charm.
Jiang Luo was a little frightened by Chi You's state. He looks back to the Lian family members hanging in the hallway and realizes that there is no Ji Yaozi in there.
Jiang Luo's heart was swept by a storm, his head ached, both physically and psychologically, "What's wrong with my body?"
"The power is too much, it's pressing on your flesh and bones," Chi You said faintly, "but don't be afraid, the Lien family is a family of witchdoctors, there's always a way to cure you."
After these words, Teng Bi and Hua Li suddenly came from the end of the corridor with a hose in their hands, which they picked up and washed in the faces of the Lian family.
Teng Bi moves stiffly, not daring to look up at Jiang Luo, who of course has no sympathy for human beings, especially those he suspects of harming him, but is afraid that Jiang Luo will look disgusted by what he is doing.
Lian's family members were woken up one by one, and Wei He, the Taoist priest closest to Jiang Luo, raised his head tiredly after taking a few rough breaths. He looked miserable, his face was still bloody, his white beard was pulled into strands, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The others were not in as good a shape as Daoist Wei He, and a few were already on the verge of dying. Jiang Luo also saw that Lian Xue's face was red, and even after being doused with water, he did not wake up, and had fallen into a deep coma.
The smell of blood was stronger in the hallway.
The ceiling here is very low, so the airtight building will give people a psychological sense of oppression, so that breathing can not come up to the air, the psychological defense will become more and more fragile. Wake up the Lian family there are a lot of people whispered whimpering up, crying contagious, a lot of age is still small never experienced this kind of thing juniors also did not hold back whimpering up.
However, the evil spirit seemed not to hear, still face unchanged, licking the blood on Jiang Luo's lips. Jiang Luo rolled his throat and met Daoist Wei He's eyes.
Wei He The Taoist priest looked at him with complex eyes, but surprisingly there was no hatred, but a mixture of melancholy and open-mindedness.
Noticing Jiang Luo's distraction, the evil spirit followed his line of sight to Taoist Master Wei He, who gave a cold shiver without any trace. The evil spirit suddenly smiled, carrying Jiang Luo to the front of Taoist Master Wei He, and politely said, "Taoist Master, have you figured out a way to cure him now?"
Taoist Master Wei He coughed a few times and laboriously said, "I'll have to take his pulse."
The ghost looked at Hua Li.
Hua Li stepped forward and stretched out his claws to cut through Daoist Wei He's right hand iron ring, which abruptly broke in half.
The evil spirit took Jiang Luo's hand from the blanket and handed it to Taoist Master Wei He.
Jiang Luo's eyes flashed as he looked at the two men holding each other's hands, and that odd feeling struck him again, even causing him to wander off a bit.
Wei He had been hanging for an unknown length of time, and the marks on his wrists were so engorged with blood that they were purple, and he was shaking even as he took Jiang Luo's pulse.
Taoist Master Wei He quietly took Jiang Luo's pulse. After half a minute, his face changed and his fingers shook even more obviously, almost unable to press the pulse.
The evil spirit looked down at the movement of his fingers and asked with a smile, "Wei He Taoist Master, what result have you put out?"
Taoist Master Wei He opened his mouth and gritted his teeth, "I can't cure it."
The evil spirit's face was unchanged, and he gave a long "oh", "so ......"
Surprisingly, he didn't say anything else and moved on to the next person.
Taoist Master Wei He didn't expect this kind of reaction from Chi You, and he looked at Chi You in disbelief, unable to believe that Chi You would let him off so easily.
Next to Taoist Master Wei He was Lian Qiang, and the evil spirit similarly took Jiang Luo's arm and put it in front of Lian Qiang, "It's your turn."
Lian Qiang's eyes were greenish-black and his face was haggard, he took Jiang Luo's pulse after Hua Li released one of his hands. Gradually, his face slowly turned white, he glanced fearfully at Chi You, and then glanced at Jiang Luo in a complicated way, "Something is wrong with him, his body ......"
The evil spirit asked nicely, "What's wrong?"
Lian Qiang dreaded if he had taken the wrong pulse, he diagnosed again and looked at Jiang Luo's complexion again, "His body is constantly damaging and healing itself ......"
This was so strange, he had never seen a disease like this before.
The evil spirit couldn't hold back his laughter, his fingers slowly rubbing Jiang Luo's small arm, as if he found Lian Qiang's statement amusing, "Then what should be the cure?"
Lian Qiang winced, "I... I don't know."
The evil spirit was silent.
The suffocating silence instantly took everyone's breath away, and after a few seconds, the evil spirit sighed, "And neither will you."
Black mist filled from his body and choked Lian Qiang's neck, the evil spirit's voice coldly descending, "Then there is no need for you to live."
The black fog tightened relentlessly, Lian Qiang was pinched and his face turned red, kicking his legs in pain and struggling, making a "ho-ho" sound in his throat.
Chi You showed no mercy and actually intended to kill Lian Qiang!
Taoist Master Wei He was shocked in his heart and shouted angrily, "Stop!"
When the black mist stopped, Chi You looked back at Taoist Master Wei He and said with interest, "Huh? Wei He has thought of a way to cure Jiang Luo?"
Taoist Wei He was so infuriated that his face turned blue and his chest rose and fell violently, "Chi You, you can keep me if I won't heal, why do you have to kill him if he won't heal!"
"How can you compare yourself to these people," the evil spirit said gently, "Taoist Master Wei He is a highly skilled healer, and all sorts of difficult and complicated illnesses can be properly treated under your hands. If Wei He can't do it, then he really can't do it. But I believe that as long as you are given enough time, you will definitely come up with a good treatment method, but other people do not have this ability. Since they can't cure Jiang Luo, what's the point of keeping them around?"
Taoist Master Wei He's fingers shook, "You, you--"
Chi You smiled slightly again, but there was little laughter in his eyes, "By the time I'm done killing them, I'm sure you'll be able to figure out a way to do it, Taoist Wei He."
Then, Chi You once again moved against Lian Qiang. Seeing that Lian Qiang was about to be poisoned, Taoist Master Wei He's face trembled, and finally said in a disheveled manner, "I can heal ...... I can heal ......! You let them go!"
Lian Qiang hit the ground with a thud, rubbing his neck and sucking in air, while the Lian family behind him cried out as they escaped.
The evil spirit turned around with Jiang Luo in his arms and came back to Taoist Master Wei He, "You can cure it?"
Wei He Taoist Master's face was stoic, he didn't want to answer this question, but for his own sake and for the sake of his clan, he still said firmly, "Yes."
The evil spirit narrowed his eyes and looked at Daoist Wei He, until after confirming that Daoist Wei He was telling the truth, his expression suddenly darkened.
"There is a way, and you didn't say so before," said the evil spirit morosely; "the dog of the predestined man sickens me as much as he does."
The ghostly lines on his face moved with a horrifying murderous aura. Jiang Luo only felt that after waking up from a dream, Chi You seemed to have changed, becoming even more perverted and crazy.
Jiang Luo was just about to say a few words when the familiar pain struck again, Jiang Luo's eyes lost focus again, and he spat out a mouthful of blood once more.
Blood slid down from his delicate chin to the collar of his neck, sticky and uncomfortable. Jiang Luo, however, was in so much pain that he wanted to roll on the ground, and as he spat out the blood one by one, Jiang Luo's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of blood red.
Taoist Master Wei He could see clearly that after Jiang Luo vomited blood, the evil spirit's gloomy face suddenly froze. He held Jiang Luo firmly and froze for a second or two before replacing one of his hands with black mist and wiping the blood from Jiang Luo's mouth.
The evil spirit's arm kept lifting and wiping, repetitively mechanical.
But there was too much blood, and by the time Jiang Luo finally calmed down and fainted from the pain, the Evil Ghost's neat body was covered with much blood.
The evil spirit carefully touched Jiang Luo's eyelids with his hand, and a smear of blood was pasted on Jiang Luo's eyelids.
The evil spirit closed his eyes, striding into the room with Jiang Luo in his arms, and not bothering to pursue Daoist Wei He for his sins, he coldly said, "Bring him in."
Teng Bi was worried about Jiang Luo and followed him into the room with Taoist Master Wei He before Hua Li did.
Hua Li bristles and stays out to watch the others.
Lian Qiang stood up holding onto the wall, looked at them protectively by the neck, and asked in a muffled voice, "Who the hell are you guys? Why are you kidnapping us?"
Hua Li doesn't care.
Lian Qiang looked again at the room that had been closed, gritted his teeth, and asked again, "Jiang Luo ...... What happened to him?"
Hua Li coldly said, "Isn't this something to ask you guys."
Lian Qiang didn't understand what he was talking about, "Why are you asking us?"
Hua Li gave a laugh, "Because he was injured at the top of your mountain."
Lian Qiang subconsciously wanted to retort, how could this be possible? The Lian family has never done anything harmful to people, they are all good people! But he met eyes with Lian Bing, who had his hands tied up, and Lian Bing gave him a wink, and was forming seals in his hands, telling him to continue to hold Hua Li back.
Lian Qiang recognized the seal, a way to draw in the wind that Jiang Luo had shown them in the Mirror World.
He was energized and hurriedly continued to talk to Hua Li, attracting Hua Li's attention.
Inside the house.
Jiang Luo only fainted for a short period of time before waking up, he was lost in thought as he stared at the ceiling, gradually coming back to his senses from the pain he had just experienced.
Turning his head, Taoist Master Wei He was rubbing the acupoints on his hands with strange finger techniques. Jiang Luo's throat was filled with a fishy taste, he coughed and said in a muffled voice, "Why is it you?"
Taoist Master Wei He didn't even want to reply to this nonsense of his and instructed Chi You, who was standing straight next to him, "Give him a cup of water, and feed him less."
Chi You glanced at Taoist Master Wei He and actually went to pour a glass of water and fed it to Jiang Luo. Jiang Luo let out a breath of comfort, "I just realized how happy I am when my body doesn't hurt."
Taoist Master Wei He said indifferently, ''Your body possesses a very large force, a force that is not something a human body can hold and is very similar to the force within the predestined person's body. Logically speaking, your body is only in its twenties, and it is impossible for a body that has not undergone refinement to hold so much power. But your soul is very solid, beyond my expectation, not even close to the soul of a predestined person of more than two hundred years, that's why you were able to absorb so much power, so much that your body can't bear it and is still hardened to the extent that it can't bear it."
I see, no wonder he was able to extract half the power of his predestined person with an hour of word spirit, it looked like it was all thanks to him having a powerful soul that had experienced the crossing.
Jiang Luo was thoughtful and suddenly said, "I took away half of the power of the offerings within the predestined person."
Even though there was some speculation, Wei He was still shocked when Jiang Luo actually admitted it.
Who is the Fates?
He was the first demigod to transcend the mortal world, and even though he was a demigod, he still had a "god" in his name. In the eyes of the Lian family, he was a true god. But such a person was deprived of half of his power by Jiang Luo.
If he hadn't taken Jiang Luo's pulse himself, Taoist Master Wei He wouldn't have believed it.
Wei He Taoist suddenly remembered that a month before, when the predestined man stood in front of the window, he had said something to him--
"Maybe he'll be the next me."
Then, is Jiang Luo taking away the power of the Fated Man now within the Fated Man's expectation, or is it outside the Fated Man's expectation?
Sweat broke out on Taoist Master Wei He's forehead, and for a while he didn't dare to think further. As he was lost in his memories, Jiang Luo called out to him twice, "Wei He?"
Wei He Taoist Master Zheng Zheng Shen, "It is because your soul is able to withstand this power that these power of offerings are working hard to transform your body, but your body is unable to withstand such transformation, thus collapsing over and over again, causing you to vomit blood and pain."
Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows and accepted the statement calmly, the most important thing now was not to explore the cause but to find a solution, "Then do you have any way to stop my body from collapsing?"
Without hesitation, Taoist Master Wei He said, "Make your body stronger, so strong that you can accommodate this power of offering."
Jiang Luo pursued, "What is the specific method?"
Taoist Master Wei He hesitated for a moment, "I'll have to think about it."
Next to the evil ghost that had been listening to their conversation suddenly laughed, Wei He Taoist subconsciously body stiff, then remembered that the most difficult to cope with is this at any time can kill his clan of evil ghosts, and he this answer, Chi You but not necessarily can be satisfied.
Taoist Master Wei He was afraid that Chi You would try to hurt his family again as a way to force his hand, but Jiang Luo was the first to nod in agreement before the evil spirit could speak, "Fine, but you have to promise me that you will allow me to spit out less blood before you come up with your solution."
Otherwise, Jiang Luo is afraid he'll bleed to death.
Glancing at Chi You, Daoist Wei He relaxed a little and hastily agreed, "I can do this."
Jiang Luo finished listening and raised his eyes to Chi You.
He quietly looked at the ghost lines on Chi You's face and the scarlet in Chi You's eyes. The appearance of the evil spirit made Taoist Master Wei He tremble, but Jiang Luo couldn't help but laugh as he watched.
He arched his eyebrows, the blood on his face had been wiped clean, and the voluptuousness between his eyebrows reappeared to reveal the luster that belonged solely to him, but because of the pale face due to the loss of blood, the luster also became weaker by a few points, and there were more points of heart-breaking pitifulness, as if he was showing weakness and pampering, "I'm hungry."
Teng Bi immediately said, "I'll go prepare the meal."
Jiang Luo looked over to Teng Bi, not being polite to him at all, and made to say, "Bring me a bowl of beef noodles, with extra beef and no cilantro, and bring me a bottle of beer by the way, please."
After Teng Bi left, Chi You said, "Teng Bi listened to you."
Jiang Luo didn't pick up on that, but winked at him, "I want to take a shower before the meal comes."
The evil spirit stared back at him without a ripple in his eyes.
Jiang Luo tsk, "And you say you're going to pursue me, but you won't even give me a shower?"
When he finished speaking, he picked up the corner of his lips and said with deliberate annoyance, "Mr. Chi, do you have to have me be so blunt? Can you give me and Daoist Wei He a space to talk alone?"
However, let him how to say, the evil spirit is a motionless, follow the god of the door generally stood, and so Jiang Luo to be tired, the evil spirit only leisurely get up, not in a hurry to go out.
The door was closed and only Jiang Luo and Taoist Master Wei He were left in the room. But they both realize that evil spirits are everywhere, and if Wei He dares to do anything to Jiang Luo, he will definitely die.
"Dog man ......" Jiang Luo lightly cursed, smilingly taking the lead, "Taoist Master Wei He, you should understand that since you will be caught by Chi You, it means that you have been abandoned by the Fated One The fact that you have been abandoned by the Fated One, right?"
Wei He Taoist Master's face sank as he snorted coldly, "I only realized today that your previous appearance of purity of mind was all pretended to deceive us, good boy, you really fooled us!"
"It's just a trick," Jiang Luo casually smoothed the black hair on his shoulders and laughed, "By the way, I haven't told you about Lian Xue yet. I felt strange before, the Lian family is at least one of the six great families, why do the juniors not even know how to astrologically tell fortunes, and don't have the slightest thing to protect themselves. After seeing Lian Xue I realized, it turns out that it's not that you guys aren't willing to learn things, it's that the predestined people won't let you learn, right?"
Wei He Taoist Master's face changed, subconsciously alarmed, "How do you know!"
Jiang Luo laughed again and continued slowly, "Why did the predestined man not allow you to learn? Because there is something else in your bodies that seals his style gods. When necessary, he will be able to awaken the Style Gods in the Lian family's bodies to use them for him, right? Looking at it this way, you Lian family members are one of his containers ah, or containers that you don't even know what you are ...... Let me guess, there will be a drawback to this right, look at the way Lian Xue is getting weaker and weaker, I guess this drawback is to damage the sealed person's health or cause other irreversible injuries ?"
Daoist Wei He: "......"
He clenched his fists and looked pained, a look that already told Jiang Luo the answer, he had guessed correctly.
Jiang Luo mocked, "The Fated Man did this to you, and you don't hate him?"
"And what about you," Taoist Master Wei He suddenly raised his voice, his eyes burning as he angrily rebuked Jiang Luo, "You're with Chi You, that inhuman and evil spirit, and he's hurting us innocents for your sake, don't you loathe him, too? "
"Are you guys really innocent," Jiang Luo didn't get angry, he calmly said, "Chi You's soul was refined into Primordial Heavenly Pearl, I've been wondering if there's any involvement from you guys in this matter, after all, you're a family of witch doctors. After all, you are a family of witch doctors and the loyal lackeys of the Predestined One, making the soul into something that helps others enhance their spiritual bodies is not difficult for you, right?"
Taoist Wei He was mute, he looked at Jiang Luo lying on the bed with strange eyes, and for the first time he recognized Jiang Luo's horror.
Jiang Luo paused and said, "There could be a million reasons why I loathe him, but the only one that doesn't include hurting you guys."
He looked back up to the ceiling and whispered, "Because this atrocity of his is all for me."
"Everyone else can call him names and loathe him for this, only I can't and I don't want to, got it?"
