A soft snap of a tear, the scroll person's belt brought down a bit of skin on the face of old Gong!
The ghost itself has already taken a form different from humans. Theoretically, one could peel human skin, but peeling the skin of a ghost is not possible, because the ghost has long lost its substance.
However, unfortunately, Lao Gong did not disintegrate because of peeling the skin, and a vague form of bloody flesh appeared on his face.
Is it the effect of the scroll?
No, I remember that Lao Gong had eaten human skin from Wu Zhongkuan!
The screams suddenly echoed in the Buddhist hall, and Lao Gong was in great pain!
"How does it hurt me? Using me to threaten my father? She is watching you! She is watching you! Watching you!"
"You dead thing, you're waiting for Lao Gong's death!"
Among the pain, there were also Lao Gong's excited roars.
Xinpo did not care about Lao Gong. He just quietly looked at me.
He pulled the scroll again, and indeed, there was a piece of human skin attached to it, being torn to Lao Gong's eye position!
It can be seen that the skin under the scroll is very old and very wrinkled.
Lao Gong's skinless area, from blood and flesh blurred, became another degree of ancient and unfamiliar.
"He is not who he is. You want him to shed his current form and return to his essence, then disperse into thin air. Or perhaps you also want him to exist well? I can tell you, this scroll is attached to everything that does not belong to him. If I don't tear it open today, Agon will tear it open tomorrow. He will not allow such a ghost to exist, constantly growing stronger by consuming the souls of others."
"Similarly, even if I cut off my life this time, you and your father will still die, because you may still become the next Xinbo."
"There are only two choices for your choice."
"And right now, you only need to call her out, and you can leave behind your father; I will keep my promise."
"The one you are facing now, you just need to call her out, and you can keep your father and me, keeping our promise."
Xinbo's last word hit the root of why my father came to the Black City Temple!
He, sees through everything!
My breathing became heavier, my eyes were filled with more and thicker blood vessels.
"You're living quite a failure."
"Have you been constantly running in this lifetime?"
"Fearful and shrinkage escape, always thinking about the next time, the next time, always thinking that one day you will make a comeback."
"But with every escape, you lose something. When you finally reach the end, when you've lost everything, you're no longer yourself. What is the meaning of living? I am protecting the entire Black City Temple!"
"And you, child?"
"Must you gather your courage to stand in front of everyone and fail?"
"You didn't disappear, you just changed a form, but you can still witness everything!"
Xinbo's expression was very complex, with a mix of disappointment, incitement, condemnation, and a hint of pity!
"Fuck off! Don't you just hide in the Black City Temple? Who says a good person should rush headlong into danger when they encounter something? That's the behavior of a brute! A gentleman avenges himself, it doesn't matter if it takes ten years!" Lao Gong's voice became sharper.
"Grandpa! He's misleading you! You mustn't fall for it! Bearing with shame and suffering is not living a life of cowardice! Your only time of cowardice was when Qin Weizi made you change your name, and you didn't do that!"
Lao Gong's voice was hoarse and strained.
A trace of purple hues suddenly spread in his eyes!
That's a very weak purple!
It's a transformation from the green ghost to the next level!
So far, the fiercest and highest level ghosts I've seen are Weiyouming, who is imprisoned in the twenty-eighth Hell, and a skeleton shrouded in purple mist at the bottom of a deep pond, which can be observed by burial shadow observation mountain in a large tomb.
At such a critical moment, Lao Gong actually broke through!?
My whole body was shaking, trembling to the extreme.
Because I'm aware that what Lao Gong says is correct, but is Xinbo wrong?
Both types of people have their own significance in existence.
Lao Gong believes that I can ultimately control the situation.
The "brute" he mentioned should actually refer to those who, regardless of the outcome, are willing to die recklessly.
What Xinbo spoke of was that death is not death; if I give up my physical shell and let him occupy it, I can mitigate all dangers and all pain.
Not only is it Black City Temple that targets us, but even... the "pain" and "strife" of four-rule mountain can be leveled?
Like Shen Xiao said, the world will be fine without me. He made me add more flowers to the embroidered tapestry.
What if... stepping back were to add more flowers to the embroidered tapestry, thus reducing or even stopping the sacrifice?
Suddenly, I feel a slight itch in my eye, as if something is about to appear... it wants to crawl out of my glasses!
During the time I was pondering, the trace of purple in Lao Gong's eyes was like a small fish, constantly swimming around, as if it wanted to grow bigger.
Xinbo needs to pull the scroll from Lao Gong's face even harder!
The skin attached to the scroll on Lao Gong's face gradually formed a face without sensation or response, belonging to Wu Zhongkuan!
Lao Gong's face returned to its most primitive appearance, which made me feel a bit strange.
Because the original him, without eating Wu Zhongkuan, had thinning hair, yellow teeth, and a rough face.
For such a long time, I have been changing. Lao Gong has also become dignified.
But now, everything about him is to be stripped away as well!
As the scroll leaves Lao Gong's skin and is torn to the bridge of his nose, the trace of purple in his eyes is about to collapse.
He howls, he roars.
He is in pain over the outcome he is about to face, yet he is excited by Xinbo's struggle for survival!
"Stop!"
I widened my eyes, forcefully suppressing the discomfort in my eyes, extending my arm and grabbing Xinbo's arm to stop his action!
Xinbo's eyes became exceptionally expectant, even in this moment, his eyes seemed to shine like stars in the sky.
"Let go of Lao Gong, let go of everyone. You cannot move anyone near me, and you cannot make any of my related people become the empress." I opened my mouth in a hoarse voice.
The smile on Xinbo's face bloomed, as if flowers on the prairie, and even a refreshing feeling like spring breeze.
"As you wish." Just four simple words, yet they were profound in the extreme.
"Grandpa! You're wrong! You're wrong!" Lao Gong blinked in confusion, and screamed loudly.
My lips were left with bitterness.
"If there were another way, if, the Agon Lama was truly someone who would sacrifice himself for the greater good, we wouldn't end up like this."
"Lao Gong, we are in a desperate situation. I can't watch you disintegrate and dissipate just like that."
"And even if you disintegrate and dissipate, it won't bring any benefits. I can't change much anymore."
"Everyone can go all out, and the eldest brother can stand in front of me when he flips face at the Juyu Mountain. Why can't I stand in front of everyone when it's time for me to step forward?"
"You want my body, I'll give it to you."
"But, Ding RuiPo is not under my control. She died at my hand and has been following me ever since. She also wants to take control of my body, you will have to deal with her yourself, I cannot call her out."
With the final decision made, my heart became much more at ease.
This appears to be weakness, but in fact, it's not running away. It's standing tall and upright, and I don't feel pain anymore, and I can even solve all problems, making my heart calm and tranquil.
The feeling of being drilled in the eyes has disappeared.
Just as I was at ease, there was a sudden, soft ripping sound, and the scroll on Lao Gong's face was completely torn off!
Moreover, the human skin that was assimilated by the scroll was also torn off!
Lao Gong's head returned to the way I first saw him!
Not only that, Lao Gong's mouth suddenly opened wide, with a steady stream of greyish-white vapor escaping!
"What are you doing!?"
I was shocked to the core, and my eyes were almost popped out.
Dismayed and bewildered.
However, Xinbo's demeanor became extremely calm, and the previous smile disappeared completely.
"I said all this to you just to tell you that accept everything, let her come out."
"But the most important thing is, I can't bear the risk of her coming out."
"If you can't complete the most critical condition, just accepting it is actually not very meaningful, because you have to accept it yourself."
"Then why should I agree to more conditions for you just because you failed to complete something?"
"You have lost the qualification to negotiate conditions, and he suddenly had a hint of threat, which naturally could not continue to exist."
"This is also helping him escape, preventing him from becoming the tool of Agon."
Xinbo's sudden change of face dealt a heavy blow to my heart!
The scroll landed with a thud on the ground, along with the human face skin that was attached to it.
Wu Zhongkuan had been digested for too long, and his soul had long lost its consciousness. Lao Gong's eyes became very empty, not like the wandering souls, but because he had lost the ink in his stomach, and lost Wu Zhongkuan's fengshui art.
This is not termination, those strands of grayish-white vapor are still escaping, Lao Gong's cheeks began to become thin and shriveled……
The only thing left is the trace of purple at the edge of collapse in his eyes, still resisting stubbornly.
Xinbo's hand trembled slightly, causing my hand to detach from his.
He began to recite scriptures.
The continuous humming of the scripture, which buzzed in my head without stop, seemed to be echoing an endless mantra.
I tilted my head slightly and stared fixedly at him.
Suddenly, I drew out the Gao Tian staff!
I want to strike his head with one strike of the staff!
Xinbo didn't resist at all. He just looked at me and I couldn't move……
Through the corner of my eye, I saw an extremely terrifying scene. Next to me stood several people, some without skin, others with their legs dangling in the air, bones lost.
Even some had a portion of their heads chopped off, with an empty space inside without a brain.
They all bound my limbs! They restrained everything of me!
The feeling of being drilled in the eyes appeared again, making me uncontrollably want to blink.
Xinbo's eyes had no extra emotions, just one.
Pity.
He looked at me as if he were watching a wretch.
More like telling me that the strong have all rights, mercy is just one of them.
And mercy is not true mercy, but a swap of interests.
Since I couldn't meet his demands, any attempt to get him to agree to anything was just a vain hope.
"Being able to kill such a character, you are truly lucky."
"Ding RuiPo?"
"Let's make a deal. There is a living Buddha in the Wu Lama Temple, who is my enemy. His cultivation level has reached the level of the patriarch, we can unite against him. I want his life, you want his body, and Lu Xian Shen, don't steal it."
Xinbo tilted his head slightly, his eyes seemed to ignore the Gao Tian staff.
At that moment, I didn't know where I got the strength, as if it erupted from my arms!
The Gao Tian staff, fiercely smashed down!
On Xinbo's face, which was as calm as an ancient well, there was a flicker of horror, and his hands suddenly shot up high!
He indeed blocked the Gao Tian staff, but couldn't completely block it. His hand was hit back down and hit on his head!
A drop of blood spilled out from his hair, flowing down his cheek and penetrating his eye!
