Chapter 123 The Ghost of the Living Dead
"Tell me about my parents, and what happened to my grandfather during his lifetime. I think I have reached the age to understand the past of my family."
He did not choose to enter a state of mind to control his emotions, so the tone of this sentence sounded low and a little sad.
After hearing this, the old housekeeper saw the young master with his head lowered, so he wiped away his tears, held him in his arms, and told the story under the moonlight.
"Young Master, let me start with the Master..."
……
The night passed.
In the morning, the sky is bright.
Lin Rong, who was sleeping soundly, woke up and found that she was lying on the bed and had put on comfortable pajamas.
"Really, did I fall asleep while listening to Grandpa Yu last night?"
He opened the quilt and got up from the bed. Just as he was about to get out of bed, he saw the old housekeeper pushing open the door with breakfast.
"Young Master, you are awake."
The old housekeeper put the breakfast on the table, walked to the bed and sat down. He skillfully picked up the white towel prepared in advance on the bedside table, put it into the washbasin filled with warm water, wet it and wring it dry, and then wiped the young master's sleepy eyes. face.
Although he was a time traveler, Lin Rong had long been accustomed to this over the years. He sat blankly on the bed and let the old housekeeper hold a warm wet towel on his face.
After a few minutes.
"Poof~"
Lin Rong spit out the mouthwash and took the handkerchief handed by the old housekeeper to wipe away the remaining water stains around his mouth.
Casually throwing the used handkerchief into the trash can, Lin Rong looked at the old housekeeper and asked in a somewhat uneasy tone:
"Grandpa Yu, I didn't talk in my sleep last night."
"Oh? Does the young master have the habit of talking in sleep? Why doesn't this old slave know?"
After saying this, the old housekeeper frowned and searched his memory for the young master talking in his sleep.
Hearing this, Lin Rong suddenly stopped being nervous and said secretly:
"It would be good if it wasn't, it would be good if it wasn't."
Last night, he dreamed of scenes from his past life. If he was talking in his sleep, he would not be able to hide the identity of the time traveler.
Although he knew that after so many years of friendship, even if the old housekeeper knew his identity as a time traveler, he would still treat him as usual.
But if you can keep this kind of thing from the old housekeeper, try to keep it from him as much as possible.
If the time comes one day in the future, he will consider whether to tell Grandpa Yu the identity of the time traveler.
Seeing that the old housekeeper was still thinking about this matter, Lin Rong tugged on his beard and said:
"It's better, Grandpa Yu, don't think too much, I'll just talk about it casually."
"I'm hungry now, you'd better bring breakfast over first."
After hearing this, the old housekeeper stopped thinking about it. He turned around, took the breakfast on the table to the bed, and told an interesting story:
"Young Master, when I went to the kitchen to make breakfast this morning, I saw Yue Guan also messing around in the kitchen."
"Looking at the situation, Dugu Bo asked Yue Guan to cook for him. However, this person has obviously never cooked before and almost set the kitchen on fire."
"In the end, Yue Guan watched and learned something while the old slave was making breakfast. Then he followed the example and managed to make a passable meal."
"Uh..." Lin Rong swallowed the snack in her mouth, recalled what happened last night, and complained speechlessly:
"I just washed my hands last night and used them to cook this morning. What was going on in Dugu Bo's mind? Can he eat such food? Wouldn't he feel uncomfortable?"< br>
……
Dining room on the first floor.
Dugu Bo sat at the dinner table, looking at the plate of dark things in front of him, with black lines on his face, and asked:
"You call this golden silk roll? You're kidding me!"
Across the dining table, Yue Guan, who heard this, slapped the table hard and retorted unceremoniously:
"Old... This is my first time in the kitchen in my life. To be able to do this is already a gift. Just be satisfied!"
"And you asked me to cook. The snacks are here. Don't be ungrateful."
"You know, you are the first person in the world who has the honor to taste the snacks I made. This is an honor that even old ghosts don't have."
"Anyway, I'll make what you want early. You like to eat! If you don't eat, you'll fall down!"
"However, if you don't eat it, I will try my best not to practice my unique skills in the future, and I will no longer obey your orders."
After saying that, Yue Guan imitated Dugu Bo's behavior last night, leaning back on the chair very proudly.
"Damn!" Dugu Bo cursed secretly. In order to be able to order Yue Guan to do things in the future, he picked up a piece of dark pastry with a look of disgust on his face, gritted his teeth and swallowed it.
When Lin Rong got dressed under the care of the old housekeeper, he walked downstairs and saw this scene. He couldn't help but sigh:
"As expected of an old poisoner, this nickname is not for nothing. His ability to resist poison is really strong. He can even eat it."
Walking to the dining table and finding a chair to sit down, Lin Rong looked at Dugu Bo's expression which remained unchanged, pointed at the dark thing on the dining table, and asked curiously:
"Don't you think this thing tastes bad at all?" After hearing this, Dugu Bo did not answer. Instead, he silently picked up a glass of water and drank it down in one gulp, answering the question with his actions.
Seeing this, Lin Rong immediately understood.
"Okay, I understand."
In fact, Yueguan also knew what the food he made tasted like. After all, as the person who made this plate of snacks, he had personally tasted a piece of it.
Precisely because he knew how it tasted, he would try his best to make Dugu Bo eat it.
Moreover, if Dugu Bo complained about the taste after eating, he would definitely refute it, but the person who would complain was his current master, which made Yue Guan stop thinking about refutation.
In order to interrupt the topic, Yueguan looked around, pretended to have discovered something by accident, and asked out of curiosity:
"Strange, the old ghost never sleeps in, why haven't he come down yet?"
Although he asked this question, Yue Guan actually knew the reason why the ghost absorbed the Narcissus Jade muscles and bones last night, and he was still meditating at the moment.
Because his room was right next to the ghost's room, he could easily sense the unique scent of the fairy herbs emanating from the ghost's room.
Originally, Yue Guan himself also absorbed the Qi Velvet Babel Chrysanthemum by the way, but then he thought about it. As soon as he broke through, his own aura was still not completely restrained, and he would definitely not be able to hide it from the eyes of the old poison.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Who knows if the old poisonous man will intensify his use of him out of jealousy after hearing the news of his breakthrough.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Yue Guan decided to get the approval of the old poisoner first in the next few days. After that, it would not be too late to absorb the Qi Rong Tian Ju.
……
Second floor.
After the old ghost in Yueguankou absorbed the Narcissus Jade muscles and bones, his body changed a lot.
Originally, due to that bizarre experience when he was a child, the ghost's figure was abnormally thin, and his skin was as pale as a person who died of drowning, without any blood.
At this moment, under the action of the narcissus jade's muscle and bone medicine, which moistens the muscles and bones, the ghostly muscles and bones are moisturized, and the thin body returns to its normal shape.
At the same time, under the influence of Narcissus Jade's musculoskeletal medicinal effect of Qi and the eight extraordinary meridians, the ghost's body gradually emerged from the state of the living dead to the activity of a living person.
The face that was as pale as a death began to take on a rosy color.
Since experiencing that bizarre resurrection from the dead, the ghost has no body temperature anymore, but now its cold body has also risen to the temperature of a living person.
When the ghost finished his meditation and opened his eyes, his empty eyes shone with a lively luster.
After feeling the incredible changes in himself, the ghost scratched the skin of his palm with his sharp fingertips, and a slight pain suddenly appeared in his perception.
"It's been so many years, I can't remember how long it's been since I felt pain. It's been so long that I've almost forgotten what pain feels like."
The ghost said happily, and his tone was no longer cold and ruthless as before, but changed back to a normal human voice.
"Immortal product, immortal product, with such miraculous effects, it can indeed bear the title of immortal product."
"No wonder Juhuaguan highly esteems these fairy herbs and wishes they could be blown up to the sky. The efficacy of this narcissus jade muscle and bone is indeed worthy of Juhuaguan's boast."
"When my physical body is completely restored to normal under the effect of Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone, my soul power cultivation will be able to break through the ninety-sixth level naturally."
The medicinal power of Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone was dissolved in his flesh and bones, and due to his special constitution, it could only be absorbed slowly.
Gui Mei estimated that this process would last for more than half a year.
After being a living dead for so long, it was only half a year. He could afford to wait.
Walking off the bed, he came to a full-length mirror and looked at himself in the mirror, who looked greatly changed. The ghost gently touched his red face and couldn't help but said:
“It has changed so much, I don’t know if Juhua Pass is still recognizable.”
"Go downstairs and have a look."
First floor.
Hearing footsteps coming from the stairs, Yueguan, who was sitting in the dining room, immediately looked over.
"Old ghost...you, who are you? Old ghost?"
Looking at the middle-aged man with a well-proportioned figure, fair complexion and a rather handsome face in front of him, Yue Guan jumped up from his chair, widened his eyes and said in disbelief:
"No, it can't be. I remember that Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone is not a magic medicine for beauty? Why do you look like this, and you are so much more handsome than me!"
Speaking of the latter part, his tone was sour.
Seeing Yue Guan's huge reaction, Dugu Bo who was sitting aside also turned his head curiously. He watched the changed ghost walk to the dining table and said to himself:
"Is this person really an old ghost? But that 'narcissus jade muscle and bone', as soon as you hear it, you will know that it is some kind of rare treasure they got from the adults."
"But there are quite a lot of good things in your hands. The original unknown white herb that looked like a swan's neck now has a narcissus jade muscle and bone."
"It's just that Juhuaguan swept away all the roots and land of my medicine garden, but they couldn't find the herbs that changed the old ghost's appearance. So where did your Excellency get these things from?"
