Chapter 5 The exotic treasure Black Gourd
"Oh, it's done!"
A burst of high-pitched laughter rang out in the narrow fire room.
Yu Que's body was covered in white fur, his eyes were like wild cats, his body was filled with gray smoke, and he had two sharp teeth growing out of his mouth, making him look like a monster but not a human being.
Trembling all over, he walked directly to the wall of the fire room and punched hard.
Snap! The walls of the fire room are all repaired with green granite, which is hard, strong and extremely corrosion-resistant. The thickness of the stone wall in each room is more than three feet.
When he punched it, although the wall was not broken, pieces of stone peeled off like biscuits and bursts of dust appeared. It was obviously beyond human power.
Yu Que's eyes were bright green, his body stooped, he jumped suddenly, and jumped onto the stone wall with his bare feet.
His feet were equipped with sharp claws that actually dug into the green stone, and his two hands became like cat claws. The fingers were three inches long and could easily be inserted into the stone wall, allowing him to run on the straight wall.
Its speed is extremely fast, and it is as ghostly as a cat.
And while he was laughing, he kept making cat sounds in his throat, which were sharp and harsh. If he was facing an enemy, the sounds in his mouth alone would be enough to frighten the enemy's mind.
After practicing in the fire room for a quarter of an hour, Yu Que's face suddenly turned pale and he had consumed a lot of energy and blood, and then he slowly stopped, hunched over and panting.
At this moment, there are already scars on the walls of the fire room. You can clearly see the traces of cat claws. The overlap is half a foot deep. If they fall on a flesh and blood body, they can easily tear apart the bones and chop the waist.
Except for the traces caused by the remaining defects, the walls in the fire room were originally mottled, having been burned by fire, frost, wind, and corroded by poison... so he was not bad at all.
Stopping, although Yu Que’s body was tired, his spirit was extremely excited:
"What a cat-faced zombie family god who can turn me into a corpse, with sharp teeth and claws!"
Two lifetimes, two full lifetimes!
It was the first time that he had personally grasped such extraordinary power. It was indeed in vain that he had been immersed in the study of immortality since he awakened Su Hui.
"Today you know it's me." Yu Que was overjoyed.
But he no longer expended energy on performing the magic, and just walked around happily in the fire room.
Because he has not yet passed the minor exams, he has not been able to open an ancestral temple or establish a golden body.
Not only can one feed the family god, but without the nourishment of incense, Yu Que can only rely on his own essence, blood, and water to support the family god in his body. Once too much is lost, it is very easy to get sick, shorten his life, and damage his future.
He was pacing, and although his mood gradually calmed down, all kinds of thoughts came to him again:
"If you want to be on the list of small exams, it is necessary to restrain a family god. Otherwise, no matter how high your knowledge is and how good your evaluation is, it will not be implemented and you will not be able to pass the test.
But for ordinary people, even the most useless household gods are often extremely expensive. ”
Yu Que sighed: "Many adults can only rent household gods for use when working, so let alone buy them and give them to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child to build a future."
His eyes couldn't help but twinkle.
This world is a world where gods and ghosts are mixed, and immortality is prosperous. There are rivers and lakes in the Middle East at home, and there are fairy mountains and ghost islands overseas.
China is currently in the midst of a prosperous dynasty, and its country is in great power. It has been eight hundred and seventy years since the dynasty was established. The cities are decorated with jewels and the households are filled with beautiful flowers.
This dynasty was only one hundred and thirty years away from being able to reign for a thousand years and become one of the immortal dynasties in the history books. It shines brightly in the past and present, setting a precedent for the era of decline in the spiritual power of the late dharma.
It's just that the country's situation is great, but it has nothing to do with the lack of half a dime of paper money.
In this life, he also had an ordinary background. Although he had a clan behind him, his parents had already died from evil spirits before he awakened to Su Hui.
Fortunately, his father also has a younger brother who is adopted by his uncle, so he doesn't have to worry about his food and clothing, and can continue to study immortality.
It's just that the uncle also has his own children, and there are several people in the family. Even if the other party has favored Yu Que to a certain extent, he really doesn't have the extra financial resources to buy him a family god.
This time when he went out to hunt for ghosts, he still relied on the spirit of a calf to run away from home and travel privately.
Thanks to his good luck, careful thinking, and courage, he was able to seize the clues and find a cat-faced ghost!
Otherwise, dying silently outside is a common thing these days.
call! Yu Que let out a long breath, took out a bronze mirror, stared at the cat-faced man in the mirror, and the smile appeared on his face again.
Now that he has his own family god, he has half-stepped into the fairy family, and his biggest worry no longer exists!
"You can go back and tell your uncle and the others the good news." Yu Que thought to himself.
However, he put away the bronze mirror, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned to look at a small black gourd in the book. This gourd was obtained by Yu Que from the Jisei Kiln. It was only as long as an egg, cold to the touch, and had the luster of jade.
Apart from this, there is nothing magical about the appearance of this object. Placed among a pile of medicine bottles and jade vases, it looks particularly unattractive.
If it weren't for the coincidence of two ghosts reminding him, even if Yu Que found this object while rummaging through the cave, he would most likely ignore it after finding that the bottle was empty.
Not to mention, at that time, this thing was still embedded in the top of the cave, with only a gap connected to the outside world.
"Although its appearance is inconspicuous, there has been a saying from ancient times to the present that treasures conceal themselves, and the fact that the old woman with a hairy face could be possessed by evil spirits in the cave is probably related to this object!"
He stroked the little black gourd and studied it carefully.
After looking around, Yu Que took out a face towel from the book, put it on his face, then poured a ladle of water on the fire pit, and pushed all the deer breasts, fragrant trees, maples and cypresses used to set up the altar. Into the fire pit.
A puff of smoke instantly rises and fills the entire fire room, blocking vision to a certain extent and isolating the inside and outside.
At this time, Yu Que just sat down cross-legged and carefully poured a drop of gray water from the small black gourd into a white bowl.
The gray water separated from the little black gourd, and a throbbing feeling immediately appeared in Yu Que's heart.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
This throbbing was not caused by him, but by the family god who had just been bound into his body.
Meow! The cat-faced man's spirit took the initiative to appear on Yu Que's Heavenly Spirit Cap, looking greedy at the drop of gray water.
"Can the gray water in this black gourd nourish ghosts and gods?" Yu Que hesitated.
He immediately thought of the old woman with a hairy face and the wronged souls of her son and daughter-in-law.
The former probably got the gray water dripping from the cracks in the cave ceiling, and then became evil when he died, while the latter was probably lured by the black gourd, put it into the gourd, and turned into gray water.
The family god was connected to the immortal family, and a greedy desire gradually arose in Yu Que's heart, wanting to swallow this thing into his body.
However, he still endured it, and suddenly he pulled out several living animals from the book, including scorpions, mice, loaches, and a few beans and bean sprouts, all of which he bought at the market along the way.
Yu Que shook the white bowl, mixed a few mouthfuls of water into it, and then fed the water to the scorpions, mice, loaches, and bean sprouts.
As a result, several living creatures swallowed the gray water. After a while, their bodies became restless and turned black, looking like they were possessed by evil spirits.
Among them, the bean sprouts rotted on the spot, and the scorpion swelled up and exploded into a pool of juice!
This scene shocked Yu Que, and a feeling of joy suddenly appeared in his heart. He also quickly stretched out his claws to crush the mouse and loach.
As a result, the body and head of the rat loach were divided into several pieces. It was still fleshy and fleshy, and had sprouts of flesh growing on it, giving it a weird and evil look.
Yu Que no longer hesitated and immediately threw all the pieces of meat into the fire pit.
Hiss!
A stream of gray gas burned up from the fire pit and slowly dissipated. Only after the corpses of the mouse and loach were burned out did they finally live in peace.
Yu Que took a breath and relaxed: "As expected, although the treasure is good, it must be handled with caution."
The scene just now was the reason why he didn't choose to think about the black gourd in the mountains and forests.
Now he has a household spirit, a small magical power, and is in a fire chamber. The fire pond can burn ghosts and evil spirits. Under such conditions, he has the confidence to deal with unexpected events.
After calming down, Yu Que narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself:
"Since living creatures can't take it, then all that's left is for ghosts and gods to take it?"
He touched his family god. This thing had just been refined not long ago. It was not only the foundation for his livelihood, but also directly related to his life. Naturally, it could not be used for experiments.
So he took out the copper bell, jingled it, and an innocent ghost appeared in the fire room.
When Yu Que went out to travel, he was not just trying to be brave.
This copper bell is a relic left by his parents. It is not a very powerful magical weapon, but it can also drive three low-class souls. There is exactly one left at the moment...
