demon son

Xia Mo sat on the sofa and called Lin Nan and Zhang Sinian to sit down. He snapped his fingers, and the translucent branches of the wisteria became busy. After a while, the coffee table was filled with fruit plates, snacks, pastries, Tea, under the shocking eyes of the two, Xia Mo took a piece of peeled orange, opened it, put a piece in his mouth, and asked casually: "So, what is your decision?"

Lin Nan and Zhang Sinian looked at each other, his eyes were still full of pain, but his eyes were no longer confused. It could be seen that he should have made a decision in his heart, and Xia Molu's move just now made him realize that Xia Mo is likely to be stronger than he imagined, and his brows can't help showing two points of hope.

"I want to stay." After saying these words, Lin Nan felt as if he had broken free from the shackles, and his whole body was relaxed.

Xia Mo ate the orange and said, "I said, I can help you, but you have to pay enough."

Zhang Sinian was naive and impulsive. He was afraid that Xia Mo would not help, and even more afraid that Lin Nan would repent. He hurriedly said, "I can give you whatever you want."

Xia Mo shook his head and said in a contemptuous tone, "Money? Do you think I'm the kind of person who can be moved by money?"

Dahei curled up on the sofa, flicked his bald tail, quietly rolled his eyes, and said to himself, you are still!Just for the few hundred dollars back then, I don’t know how many small fish have been deducted from it over the years!

"Then what do you want?" Zhang Sinian looked at Xia Mo eagerly, and couldn't help but recall Xia Mo tearing up Lai San in his mind. He always felt that Officer Xia's style of painting didn't look like a serious policeman.

Xia Mo ate half an orange in a row, and then barely endured the pain of losing a large amount of money, he took a piece of paper from the coffee table, gently wiped the juice from his hands, and said, "It doesn't matter what I want. The important thing is that not only can I let you stay in the mortal world in the form of a ghost, but I also happen to know a little trick of ghost cultivation. This technique has been cultivated to great success, and it is not difficult for you to show up in front of living people."

It's as simple as Zhang Sinian doesn't believe in such a good thing like a pie in the sky. The pie drawn by Xia Mo is too big and tempting, and they can't help but worry more about the price he said.

Sure enough, Xia Mo changed the subject and said: "Unfortunately, the way of heaven will not allow overly powerful ghosts to live forever, so if you want to practice this method, you must first enshrine a living person as the master and make a contract as a slave. Life and death are involuntary."

This is a ghost slave.

The ghost slaves in the Mo family tradition combined the technique of raising ghosts from a certain Taoist sect. This sect made contracts with some fierce ghosts who could not be reincarnated or transcended due to various reasons. With the power of these ghosts, they would do good and punish evil. When the merits and virtues of getting rid of sins are completed, the contract can be terminated and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.Nowadays, almost all the ghosts working in the Special Investigation Department have signed such contracts.However, this method also has disadvantages.Li Gui is cunning and cruel by nature, if he is not careful, he will turn back on his master.

Based on this method, it was modified by later generations, and many techniques of raising ghosts have been derived, such as Gumantong, raising little ghosts, and even fox fairies and so on.

The ancestors of the Mo family were even more domineering, changing the original equal contract into a bond of slavery.Once you become a ghost slave, you can live or die according to your master's will, avoiding the backlash of ghosts to the greatest extent.However, this kind of slave contract is very strict, and the ghost must be willing to do it when it is signed; in addition, once the ghost slave commits evil acts and is discovered by the Dao of Heaven, the master will also bear part of the karma.

The ancestors of the Mo family used this method to contract a ghost slave, but the inheritance only said that this method was feasible, without any further details.Probably, the ghost slave has disappeared with the ancestors of the Mo family.

The difficulty of the ghost-slave contract is to make the ghosts willingly serve as slaves, and it is best not to be too extreme.Forget about others, Xia Mo knows that he will not be favored by heaven, once the ghost slave under the contract causes trouble, no amount of life is enough to be struck by lightning.Therefore, even knowing that there are many conveniences for ghost slaves, Xia Mo never thought of accepting ghost slaves.Even when he was on the train back then, Xia Mo only promised Lin Nan to let him stay in the world for one more month in the state of a living corpse, and send him back into reincarnation when the period expired.It wasn't until he discovered that the Celestial Masters Association and the organizations behind it were far beyond his ability to deal with alone, and at the same time, the Special Investigation Office was also untrustworthy, so he had the idea of ​​looking for more helpers.

So, at that time, he told Lin Nan that he had a way to let him stay in Yangshi.

He gave Lin Nan enough time to think about it, just to make him willing.Although Lin Nan is obsessed with it, but he is too attached to Yangshi, Xia Mo bet that he will definitely choose to stay.

Xia Mo informed Lin Nan of all the pros and cons of the ghost slave, and at the same time, he did not hesitate to tell Lin Nan, "If you don't want to be my ghost slave, I can recommend you to work in the special mediation office, but I can't guarantee that they will accept you." You, maybe they will send you into reincarnation directly. In addition, only ghost slaves can practice the formulas handed down by my family. There may be formulas for ghosts to practice in the special mediation office, but I believe it is definitely not as good as the formulas in my hands. , ten years, 20 years, or even forever, you don’t even want to have the magic power to manifest before others. That’s all for now, whatever you want to do is up to you.”

Lin Nan weighed it for a moment and asked, "If I were your ghost slave, how long would it take to manifest?"

"It can be as little as one or two years, and as much as five or ten years. It depends on your own qualifications and efforts."

Lin Nan asked again: "I stayed in Yangshi to accompany my family and friends. If one day they leave this world, I hope I can leave with them."

"It won't take that long." Xia Mo said: "I have a friend who has been missing for many years. I have been tracking down his whereabouts. As long as I find him in the future and punish those who hurt him, I will set you free. At that time, Whether you want to stay or reincarnate, I can help you. Of course, there is one more thing I have to tell you. From the clues I have so far, my friend's disappearance is probably related to Mr. Min. It has to do with the forces behind it. I don’t think I need to tell you how powerful Mr. Min is, but the forces behind him are terrifying, and if you fight against them, you may not even have the chance to reincarnate.”

Hearing this, Zhang Sinian couldn't help being shaken. Looking at Lin Nan's profile, he was suddenly not sure whether it was right or wrong to let Lin Nan stay.

However, Xia Mo frankly confessed the pros, cons and dangers, which made Lin Nan completely at ease.Since Xia Mo is willing to tell him all these, it means that at least Xia Mo's character is not a problem.Since he has made up his mind to stay, even if it is to take care of his parents before manifesting, he should follow Xia Mo.

"I would like to stay and be your ghost slave." Lin Nan said.

Finally, he didn't waste his words in vain.

Xia Mo nodded and said: "Okay, there are still five days before the January period. During this period, you have to find a way to deal with your body. Your parents, you can't tell them about the ghost slave, besides, You can make it up however you want."

"it is good."

During this period of time, what Lin Nan pondered the most was how to leave this world in a way that would not make her parents sad.However, there are many ways to leave this world, but none of them can prevent parents from being sad.Now, he has chosen to stay in the Yang world, and before he can manifest as a human in the future, he can finally find a way to have the best of both worlds.

Back home, Lin Nan found all of his grandfather's belongings. When his father came back from get off work in the hospital, he invited him to his bedroom and said, "Dad, I want to take a year off from school."

Father Lin was a little surprised, he didn't expect his son, who has always been sensible, to make such a request, "Why?"

"Grandpa's handbook recorded many medicinal herbs and prescriptions that were not found in medical books. This time I found Heart-Burn Grass. Facts have proved that the efficacy of Heart-Bull Grass far exceeds that of conventional medicines, and even those expensive imported special medicines It can’t compare to it. Therefore, I want to follow in the footsteps of my grandfather, go for a walk, and see if I can find Buxincao, and those herbs that are as precious and rare as Buxincao.”

Father Lin looked at his father's relics and was silent for a while, just when Lin Nan thought he would refuse, he nodded and said, "That's fine, you should go out and see more after reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles. "

After practicing medicine for many years, Lin's father is no longer the paranoid and stubborn boy in the mountain village. He has witnessed countless lives and deaths.However, back then, his father practiced medicine all the year round and was rarely at home. He was raised by his mother. His father clearly had prescriptions for his mother's illnesses, and he also collected rare medicinal materials in the prescriptions. However, he actually used all of these medicines on In the patient who came to seek medical treatment, the patient recovered, but he lost his mother forever.The doctor is benevolent, he can understand his father's benevolence and love, but he can't let go of it.

However, the world is so big that there are no surprises. It would be great if Lin Nan could inherit his father's mantle.

"Mom's place..."

"I'll tell her where your mother is."

In order to convince her parents, Lin Nan prepared a long speech, but she didn't want it to be useless.With the approval and support of her parents, Lin Nan quickly completed the formalities for suspending school, and then returned to her hometown with Zhang Sinian.

There has been a lot of changes in my hometown. The ancestral grave is remote and barren. Except for New Year's worship, few people usually go there.Lin Nan rented a truck, bought the coffin, and brought the coffin back to the ancestral grave. Together with Zhang Sinian, he dug a hole next to his grandparents' tomb, and the two of them worked together to carry the coffin into the hole.

"Brother Nan." Looking at the coffin in the mud pit, Zhang Sinian panicked terribly.There is probably nothing more absurd in this world than digging a grave with a loved one and watching the loved one lie in it.

Lin Nan's body was rotting badly, so he hugged Zhang Sinian weakly, stroked his hair, and said, "Don't be afraid, have you memorized the steps the boss said?" After agreeing to become Xia Mo's ghost slave, Lin Nan changed his tune, and called Xia Mo the boss just like Dahei and the others.

Tears welled up in Zhang Sinian's eyes, and he said sullenly, "Remember."

Lin Nan kissed his forehead lightly and said, "Wait for me."

"it is good."

Lin Nan walked into the coffin by himself and cut off his little finger with a knife. These days, he has been enduring the pain of his body rotting all the time, and the pain of severed finger is nothing compared to it.He put the amputated little finger into a porcelain vase and handed it to Zhang Sinian.Zhang Sinian carefully put the porcelain bottle into his backpack. Then, he knelt down beside the coffin, and according to Xia Mo's instructions, he pasted a stack of talisman papers on Lin Nan's body in order, and waited until the last piece of talisman paper After putting it on, Lin Nan's body suddenly lost its vitality.He passed away more than a month ago, and now the magic to maintain his vitality has failed, and his body began to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing all this, Zhang Sinian couldn't bear it anymore, tears welled up in his eyes, and started to cry loudly.
