Chapter 669 The Story of the Thousand-Faced Ghost
One day ten years ago.
As a famous evil cultivator in Zhongyuan Continent, Qianmiangui was hunted down by many masters of famous and upright sects. With Qianmiangui's character, he was never afraid of being outnumbered.
In this world, the protagonist is always a minority.
Qianmiangui calls himself an actor, playing the ghost slaves under his control. But he himself has always insisted on being the protagonist of his own life.
No matter how others look at him, slander him, or even hunt him down, he doesn't care.
For example, he despises the pursuers behind him from the bottom of his heart. The protagonist can't lose to those passers-by.
But this time, Qianmiangui accidentally fell into an ambush set up by those famous and upright people in advance, and was poisoned. Half of his power was sealed and he couldn't control the Seven Evil Ghost Banner freely. Without the Seven Evil Ghost Banner, the powerful weapon, Qianmiangui's combat power is equivalent to less than half.
At this moment, Qianmiangui showed himself as Zhang San.
The Thousand-Faced Ghost Zhang San, covered in wounds, fled desperately.
He could hardly lift one of his arms, which was wounded to the bone. It was a huge wound caused by a sword slash from behind. The heart of the man who attacked him was grabbed out of his chest by his backhand.
For the enemy, the Thousand-Faced Ghost never leaves any room for maneuvers.
Fortunately, his legs and feet were not seriously injured. He used the ghost escape technique and escaped quickly.
"I can't die like this. My most lovely senior brother is still sleeping. I want to wake him up and tell him that I am the only one who cares about him the most in this world." The Thousand-Faced Ghost ran wildly, and said unwillingly.
At this moment, a purple figure suddenly fell from the sky and blocked the opposite side of the Thousand-Faced Ghost, and the Thousand-Faced Ghost had almost no advance notice.
It was a man in a purple robe, and the hat on the robe covered half of the man's face. And the half of the man's face that was exposed was covered by a purple mist on the surface, blocking his consciousness and vision, making it difficult to see his true face.
But what the Thousand Faces Ghost can be sure of is that the person coming is very powerful. With his current state of being unable to smoothly control the Seven Evil Ghost Banner and being seriously injured, facing such a strong enemy, there is almost no chance of winning, and even the chance of escaping is very slim.
The Thousand Faces Ghost did not look back, he knew that the pursuers were behind him. He simply asked: "Who are you? I see that your aura is completely different from those shitty famous and upright sects. Are you here to kill me too?"
"I'm here to help you." The purple-robed man said.
"Help me, this should be the first time I see you. I don't have any friends in this world, why do you, a stranger, come to help me?" Thousand Faces Ghost Zhang San asked.
"Because the shadow organization I lead needs manpower, I know you are a good candidate." The purple-robed man said bluntly.
"Just because I am being hunted down now, you want to take the opportunity to show me kindness, help me out, and then ask me to obey you in the future? This is impossible. I, the Thousand Faces Ghost, come and go freely and have never been bound by anyone. I will never be controlled by others in my life. Even if I am caught up and killed by those behind me, I will never become your slave." The Thousand Faces Ghost said firmly.
As the owner of the Seven Evil Ghost Banner, the Thousand Faces Ghost is used to the role of the master, and he does not want to be a slave.
"I like your personality very much. Death cannot threaten you. You should be a good helper. Everyone has the right to control their own destiny. But in fact, it is difficult to do so. This world belongs to the strong. This time, I can not only help you escape danger, but also help you fulfill a wish you want." The purple robed man said.
"This?" The Thousand-Faced Ghost hesitated for a moment. "There is a person who is very important to me. His soul has been severely damaged. It should be said that it is just a remnant soul. If you can help me wake him up, I will accept your condition for me to join the Shadow Organization."
"Remnant soul? Of course I can help you fulfill this wish. Unless I can't revive a dead person, I can do everything else." The purple-robed man said confidently.
After speaking, the purple-robed man glanced behind the Thousand-Faced Ghost Zhang San.
Then he said: "Those people are catching up. I will take you away from here first."
The Thousand-Faced Ghost Zhang San nodded and thought to himself: "As long as I can make my senior brother recover, I can do anything."
The purple-robed man waved his sleeves.
A ball of purple mist swept past, and the figures of the Thousand-Faced Ghost and the purple-robed man disappeared out of thin air.
Almost at the same time, in an unknown valley thirty miles away, on an empty space that was originally empty.
Crack, crack.
Suddenly, jumping purple arcs appeared.
The next moment, ripples appeared in the void, and a large ball of purple mist turned out. The purple mist disappeared, revealing the purple-robed man and Thousand-Faced Ghost Zhang San.
"There is no one here, and those who are chasing you will not be able to find this place." The purple-robed man said.
Thousand-Faced Ghost Zhang San turned his hand into a sword and pointed at his forehead. A black spiritual light flashed, and the spiritual consciousness in the sea of consciousness under the top of his head suddenly spread out.
"There is no trace of those people in the surrounding ten miles. It seems that they have escaped at least thirty miles. They can do this without any magic weapons or teleportation arrays. The cultivation of this purple-robed man is far superior to mine. However, judging from the breath he exudes, he should be a member of the legendary demon clan. No matter who he is, as long as he can help me restore my senior brother." Thousand-Faced Ghost Zhang San calculated in his heart.
"From the looks of you, it seems that someone has sealed your body with poison. Let me help you."
Without waiting for Thousand-Faced Ghost Zhang San to answer, the purple-robed man stretched out a finger and pointed in the air.
With a pop, a purple spiritual light fell directly on the heart of the Thousand Faces Ghost.
The Thousand Faces Ghost was shocked. If the other party wanted to kill him, his heart would have been broken by now.
The next moment, the Thousand Faces Ghost felt a strange power, neither hot nor cold, spreading from his heart and spreading all over his body in an instant.
Chi Chi Chi.
A stream of purple mist spread out from the pores on the surface of the Thousand Faces Ghost's body, and it lasted for a long time.
When there was no more purple mist overflowing, the toxins in the Thousand Faces Ghost's body were swept away. His sealed body immediately resumed normal circulation.
The Thousand Faces Ghost used the method of inner consciousness to check, and there was no trace of that power left in his body. There was no abnormality in the meridians, blood vessels, tendons and bones. Even the sword wound on his left arm was completely healed at some point.
"What a powerful method. If this person is an evil cultivator, he will definitely be able to compete for the throne of the top of the evil cultivator list." Thousand Faces Ghost Zhang San was convinced in his heart.
"Thank you."
"It's just a piece of cake. Where is the person you asked me to save? I can fulfill your wish now."
The Thousand-Faced Ghost nodded. He thought that the purple-robed man was not lying. His heart was moved and he said, "My most lovely senior brother is finally saved."
The Thousand-Faced Ghost carefully inserted the Seven Evil Ghost Banner in his hand into the ground in front of him. Then he took out a clean blanket and spread it flat on the ground.
After getting ready, he pinched the magic formula with both hands and pointed at the Seven Evil Ghost Banner one after another.
The surface of the Seven Evil Ghost Banner suddenly churned with ghost fog, and suddenly, a figure moved out lying flat in the ghost fog.
Thousand-Faced Ghost Zhang San immediately stepped forward, held the man steadily by the waist, laid him flat on the blanket on the ground, and then gently brushed the dust off the corner of the man's clothes with his hand.
He looked at the man with a different kind of tenderness.
It was a man with an ordinary face and wearing a blue brocade robe. But the man was pale and his breathing was weak and sometimes absent.
"Brother, I'll ask someone to heal you." The Thousand-Faced Ghost said gently.
After he finished speaking, the Thousand-Faced Ghost Zhang San made a hand gesture and wiped his face.
A ball of white light flashed, and Zhang San's face suddenly disappeared, revealing another face.
It was an extremely feminine face, even more charming than an ordinary woman. The cheeks were like new lychees, the lips were red and the teeth were white, especially the pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to be rippling with autumn water when they were slightly raised.
If it weren't for the slightly protruding Adam's apple on his neck, people would definitely think that this was a woman at all.
At this moment, the beautiful eyes on his white jade face were staring at the man lying on the ground.
This was the original face of the Thousand-Faced Ghost, and he never showed it to others easily. He would only show it when he was face to face with his most beloved brother.
At this time, he was no longer an actor, nor a Thousand-Faced Ghost. He was just an infatuated man who liked his brother even more than himself.
"Please heal my brother. If you can heal him, I will keep my promise and serve the Shadow Organization for the rest of my life." The tone of the Thousand-Faced Ghost became gentle, like water.
The purple-robed man didn't care about the changes of the Thousand-Faced Ghost at all.
As the Shadow Master, the helpers he recruited were almost all evil cultivators on the Zhongyuan Continent. If the cultivators of the famous and upright sects are all packaged with unified secular standards, the evil cultivators have their own characteristics. The Thousand-Faced Ghost is just one of the evil cultivators, and he has his own different colors.
The purple-robed man just glanced at the person lying on the ground, and then answered decisively: "Among this person's three souls and seven spirits, except for the seven spirits, which are still intact, the three souls of heaven, earth and man have been severely damaged. It should be caused by going crazy after practicing. If you didn't have this good ghost flag to stabilize his soul, I'm afraid this person would have been dead long ago."
"You are right, my brother went crazy and became like this. But I won't let my brother die unless I die." The Thousand-Faced Ghost said firmly.
The purple-robed man approached and squatted.
He flipped his wrist, and a small purple porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. Then he pulled out the stopper and poured it into his palm. A purple pill the size of a soybean rolled out.
On the pill, there was a clear magic mark, which shone with a light golden glow, flowing like a living thing.
"This purple Yuan pill can restore your brother's life signs, but it is unlikely to restore him to his peak state. How much he can recover in the future depends on his own luck." The purple-robed man said.
"Please treat him, sir." Qianmiangui trusted the purple-robed man more and more.
The purple-robed man put the purple Yuan pill into the patient's mouth, and then grabbed it with one hand in the air.
The body of Qianmiangui's brother slowly rose.
Without stopping for a moment, the purple-robed man used both hands to continuously cast spells, landing on the key acupoints around the patient's body.
Then he placed a single palm on his shoulder, and a powerful magic power poured into the patient's body like a river.
With the magic power as the guide, the medicinal effect of the purple Yuan Dan that the patient had taken before was fully released.
This purple Yuan Dan was refined from the ancient magic crystal and has a powerful soul-building power.
The patient's body was surrounded by purple light, and the powerful medicinal power in his body helped him rebuild his soul.
It took half an hour.
The purple-robed man put away the spell and said calmly: "In a moment, your senior brother will wake up on his own."
The Thousand-Faced Ghost immediately walked over and stopped the senior brother in his arms. He put a hand on the senior brother's pulse.
His face immediately showed a look of surprise.
"It's great. Senior brother's soul has been recast successfully. Although it is not as powerful as it was at its peak, it is finally out of the life-and-death crisis."
"I won't interrupt you and your senior brother to reminisce. Thousand-faced Ghost, please remember your previous promise." The man in purple robe said.
"The Thousand-Faced Ghost is willing to serve the Lord of Shadows for the rest of his life." The Thousand-Faced Ghost is a man who keeps his word.
"Remember, from today on, you are the Shadow Envoy in the Shadow Organization."
As soon as he finished speaking, the purple-robed man disappeared in a purple mist.
The Thousand-faced Ghost looked at his senior brother lying quietly on the blanket, and saw his chest rising and falling with his breathing, and his face gradually becoming rosy.
He smiled like a flower.
His thoughts instantly went back to the past, to the days when he and his senior brother were together.
Several years ago, there was a genius disciple in the Wuchang family of the Tiangui Sect, named Wuchang Hongguo.
Wuchang Hongguo is the direct disciple of the Wuchang family. She has amazing talent and has been placed high hopes by the Wuchang family since she was a child.
When Wuchang Hongguo is seven years old, according to the rules of the Wuchang family, he can choose a child of the same age from the Wuchang family as his companion.
On the surface, it is called a companion book, but in fact it is the Deadpool guarding the Impermanence Red Fruit.
Among the many candidates, Wu Chang Hongguo chose an inconspicuous child of the same age. This child was naturally shy and as weak as a girl.
His name is "Wuchang Lianye", and his identity is just an orphan from a branch of the Wuchang family. On weekdays, he is often ridiculed and bullied by others. However, Wuchang Hongguo is very caring about Wuchang Lianye, and he will even share his favorite apples with Wuchang Lianye. But Wuchang Lianye kept all this in his heart, and he secretly vowed to be good to Wuchang Hongguo.
"Master Patriarch, I choose Wuchang Lianye as my companion." Wuchang Hongguo pointed at Wuchang Lianye in the crowd.
When Wuchang Lianye saw Wuchang Hongguo pointing at him, his heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his head and said nothing.
"Wuchang Lianye, you still haven't thanked the legitimate son of the clan." said the family elder on the side.
"Lian Ye thanked the legitimate son of the clan. Lian Ye is willing to dedicate his life to the legitimate son of the clan." Wuchang Lianye said sincerely.
From that day on, he and he became brothers and sisters.
.......
The Impermanent Red Fruit certainly lives up to expectations.
When he was in his twenties, he became one of the strongest members of the Wuchang family. He practiced domineering and treacherous ghost techniques, and his cultivation level reached the level of Daoming.
As Wuchang Hongguo's companion, Wuchang Lianye became an invisible master with the supply of the Wuchang family's powerful cultivation resources, coupled with his own efforts and talent. No one knew that Wu Chang Lian Ye, who was as soft as a woman, was already at the Dao Ming realm.
Under the intensive training of the Wuchang family, Wuchang Hongguo's performance was recognized by the Tiangui Sect's Elder Council, and he was elected as the leader of the Tiangui Sect's Yungui Hall, and became one of the candidates for the next leader of the Tiangui Sect.
At the same time, competing with Wuchang Hongguo for the position of leader of the Heavenly Ghost Sect is another powerful disciple of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. He is a talented disciple of the Yaksha clan, one of the three major families, named "Yaksha Cangyue".
Compared with the Impermanence Red Fruit, Yaksha Cangyue's talent is even better, and he is considered to be the most popular candidate for the next leader of the Tiangui Sect.
In order to compete with Yaksha Cangyue for the position of the leader of the Tiangui Sect, and also to make the Wuchang family proud in the Tiangui Sect. Impermanence Hongguo did not hesitate to try to practice the forbidden technique Seven Evil Ghost Banners.
Unexpectedly, during the next practice of the Seven Evil Ghost Banners, Wu Chang Hongguo unfortunately went crazy and his body collapsed on the spot.
In order to save the life of the Impermanent Red Fruit, the Wuchang Lianye who was guarding the side had no choice but to ingest the Qisha Ghost Banner, and he himself turned into the form of the Wuchang Red Fruit.
Next, Wuchang Lianye forced himself to practice Qisha Ghost Banner in order to save Wuchang Hongguo.
To practice the Seven Evil Ghost Banners, you must first seal the human soul, one of the three souls of heaven, earth and man, in the Seven Evil Ghost Banners. This alone is something that few people can do.
"For senior brother, I can do anything." Enduring the severe pain of tearing his soul, Wuchang Lianye successfully mastered the technique of Seven Evil Ghost Flags.
However, the vitality of the Impermanent Red Fruit became increasingly weak. In order to save his senior brother's life, Wuchang Lianye must quickly improve the technique of the Seven Evil Ghost Banners.
And if you want to cultivate Qisha Ghost Banner to a high level, you must ingest ghost slaves.
In order to find a suitable ghost slave as soon as possible and improve the level of Qisha Ghost Banner, Wuchang Lianye even took a disciple of Tiangui Sect as his ghost slave.
The disciples he recruited as ghost slaves were direct disciples of the Guigu family among the three major families. This matter was eventually discovered by the Tiangui Sect.
Wuchang Lianye took Qisha Ghost Banner and his senior brother Wuchang Hongguo and fled Tiangui Sect overnight.
From then on, there was a thousand-faced ghost in the world of cultivation. As for his original name, Impermanence Lian Ye, no one has ever known it.
