This Damned Thirst for Survival

Liao Si soon knew about Qi Ye's loss of spirit body.

After he knew it, he rushed to Chi You, the anger in his tone couldn't be concealed, his face twisted slightly, "Master, Qi Ye is the body I fancy, why did you pull out his spirit body!"

After pulling out the spirit body, Qi Ye is a useless person, and has no effect on him!

After Chi You glanced at Liao Si indifferently, Liao Si's mind froze and he calmed down. He took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, master."

"He doesn't meet your choice," Chi You said, "You can continue to choose other people."

Liao Si clenched his fists and was silent for a while, then compromised, "Okay, I'll go and see the others."

He exited the master's room, and when he turned around, he saw Ge Wuchen walking back from the outside weakly covered in blood.Ge Wuchen always valued his image, Liao Si looked him up and down, "What are you doing?"

"Master sent me to do some things." Ge Wuchen sat down exhausted, he almost escaped death before he came back alive, "Why are you here?"

Liao Si couldn't bear the desire to complain, and told Ge Wuchen about Qi Ye.He knew that his master would know what he was thinking, so he didn't dare to go too far, but his words were miserly, "I finally set my sights on a body, but what do I need him for without the spirit body? Go and see other people, but how can you find someone you like so easily?"

Ge Wuchen, "I don't believe you don't have a backup candidate."

Liao Si winked at him, "Ge Wuchen, you still understand me. I do have a backup candidate, and your younger brother is very good—"

Ge Wuchen looked at him coldly.

Liao Si laughed and coughed again, "Ahem, don't be nervous, I was just joking."

"But let's not say, the people around Jiang Luo really meet my requirements one by one. The potential is huge, the reputation is not obvious, and the background is simple... It's really exciting."

"I advise you not to get their ideas," Ge Wuchen looked at the blood on his body, and said quietly, "Jiang Luo is a ruthless character who bites people."

Liao Si snorted, "I know. Ge Wuchen, Master treats Jiang Luo very differently, we'd better hide if we can."

Ge Wuchen took another look at his miserable situation, "... who is your spare tire?"

Liao Si's eyes flashed, "Lian family."

Jiang Luo stayed at the bottom of the mountain for half a month, and it seemed that Fate did what he said, and did not force Jiang Luo to go back.

It's just that school is about to start, and Ji Yaozi didn't come down from the mountain.

Jiang Luo and his friends moved back to school.A winter has not come, and the grass plants in the school are also waiting.Instigated by Dean Xu, they watered the grass piece by piece with a water pipe.

A separate vegetable field was opened in front of the dormitory. I don’t know which teacher planted big white radishes. They secretly pulled out a few, cleaned the mud, and gnawed white radishes while working.

The sweet and spicy radish made them all hungry.Lu Yi went to the cafeteria to buy a bag of sweet potatoes, and a few people made a fire to roast the sweet potatoes, and the smell invited Dean Xu to come.

Dean Xu loved them very much, and Jiang Luo also respected him.Before waiting for the sweet potatoes to be cooked, he chatted with Dean Xu, and the topic gradually turned to "man becomes a god", which attracted the interest of others.

"'Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately' is a metaphor. It is a word to persuade people to be good. The Buddha in it refers to converting to Buddhism. But if someone really becomes a Buddha? I have never seen it," Ge Zhu said, "We Doing good deeds is for the purpose of accumulating virtue, and accumulating virtue is for a smooth life and a good birth after death. When a person dies, he will either be taken away by a ghost to be reincarnated, or his anger will turn into a ghost. A person is a person and cannot be successful. God's."

Dean Xu listened to Ge Zhu's words, neither nodded nor shook his head, just smiled without saying a word.

Jiang Luo and the others looked at each other, and then blinked at Lu Yiyi.Lu Yi received the message, and he boldly asked: "Dean Xu, is it true that no one can live forever?"

Jiang Luo said that the man of fate has lived for more than 200 years and is still not old!

Dean Xu knew why he asked such a question. He gave the group of children a funny look, shook his head and sighed, "You guys...forget it, let the old man answer this question for you."

"Have you ever heard the saying 'the soul is good and the soul is evil'?"

Ge Zhu smiled, "I know. People think that the po is the thief in the human body. If the soul leaves the body or becomes weak, the po that stays in the body will take the opportunity to collude with evil spirits. At least it will cause nightmares, and at worst it will perish. Taoist practice is to 'refine the three souls', using the Yang soul to suppress the evil Yin soul, so that the soul will not collude with foreign ghosts to invade oneself, and people can seek longevity." ①

Serior asked in confusion: "Why can you live forever if you suppress your soul?"

"Because the soul is in charge of the limbs, five sense organs, and our body," Ge Zhu patiently explained, "while the soul is the mind and emotion, something that cannot be touched or seen. The body shell will gradually age, and experience Decline is thought to be due to the evil spirits that damage the body functions. But if the spirit is used to suppress the spirit, the aging of the body can theoretically be stopped."

Dean Xu stroked his beard, and the old god said, "That's the way it is."

"It's possible in theory, but has anyone actually done it?" Jiang Luo looked at Dean Xu, "Can you do it?"

"If I can, I can still be an old man?" Dean Xu blew his beard and stared, "From before to now, only Fate has managed to not grow old for 200 years."

Jiang Luo smiled, "Do you know what we want to talk about is the fateful person?"

Dean Xu snorted coldly, "It's just your little trick to test me. I'll know what shit you're shitting if you poke your butt. Every single one of your wings is hardened, and you want to investigate the matter of fate. Let me tell you, one of you It's best to be honest, Fate is...he's terrifyingly strong! Don't provoke anyone if you provoke him."

Ye Xun said in a low voice, "Dean, please tell us more, we won't tell anyone."

"Don't even think about it, I have nothing to tell you, and I don't understand him." Dean Xu pulled the baked sweet potatoes out of the fire, and ordered Jiang Luo, "You are Chi The person you like, they will definitely not let you go. Although I have doubts about the prophecy of the man of fate, he is for the good of the metaphysical world after all. But I also don't believe that Chi You is the one who does such a thing... You must not , Think more on your own, don’t just believe what others say.”

Jiang Luo nodded seriously: "I see."

Dean Xu stood up holding the hot sweet potato and patted Jiang Luo's head.

"He is a false god, not a god. Looking at his essence, he is still human. What people say will have selfish desires. Since you and Chi You are lovers, give Chi You more trust."

After finishing speaking, Dean Xu walked away slowly.

Jiang Luo had a weird look on his face. He wanted to smile or not, but finally buried himself in his knees and smiled sullenly.

When sleeping at night, he lay on the bed, recalling Ge Wuchen's words.

How did the fateful people absorb the power of offerings?

Jiang Luo thought a lot, miscellaneous things piled up in his mind, and finally fell asleep unknowingly.Early the next morning, when he got up to brush his teeth, he glanced at the faucet out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly fell into a trance.

He stretched out his hand, and the clear water stirred up on the back of his hand and splashed around.

He picked up the toothbrush cup and filled it with water. The water in the cup did not leak, and finally sent it to his mouth to rinse.

Jiang Luo's movements became slower and slower, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

He found a third method independent of Ge Wuchen's two methods!

He hurriedly washed up and ran back to the room to calculate the success rate of this method.The more he counted, the more excited he became, and in the end Jiang Luo couldn't sit still anymore.

This method has a [-]% success rate, either succeeds or fails.But [-]% is already a lot, enough for Jiang Luo to take a gamble.

Jiang Luo was so excited that he didn't go out all day. After careful consideration, he decided to take the initiative by surprise and go back to the mountain to find the person of fate.

He has reasons to go back.

The fateful man has been waiting for him at the top of the mountain. Although he has not moved now, Jiang Luo knows that the fateful man will never really let him go. The fateful man made such a large circle of chess pieces just to make Jiang Luo kill Chi especially?Jiang Luo took the initiative to go back, at least he could have the initiative, which was better than passively waiting.

What's more, Chi You's last Yuan Tianzhu is still in the hands of Fate.

Jiang Luo wanted to kill the fateful man, so sooner or later he would have to meet the fateful man again.

But the method Jiang Luo came up with also had the possibility of failure. In order to avoid implicating his friends after failure, Jiang Luo didn't tell anyone.He packed his things by himself, made a phone call to Bai Qiu, changed into mountaineering suits and knives on the second night, left a note and left the school gate.

Baihua University was extremely quiet at night, and Jiang Luo left the school smoothly.He drove his second-hand car all the way to a hidden community in the city center.

At the gate of the community, a beautiful woman wrapped in a down jacket was waiting tremblingly.Seeing Jiang lagging behind, he hurried over, "You came pretty fast."

Jiang Luo smiled and said, "Sister Bai Qiu."

Bai Qiu smiled when he saw him, "He looks more and more handsome."

Bai Qiu handed the flowers in his hand to Jiang Luo, "I locked the lover's flowers in the cabinet at the time, and I just remembered that there are still these things when you called me to ask for them. I thought they had withered a long time ago." , and took it out to see, it turned out to be still open.”

Her expression was complicated, and this bouquet of red lovers shaped like baby's breath looked like a monster in her eyes.She was not relieved until Jiang Luo took it away.

Jiang Luo smiled, "Thank you, Sister Bai Qiu."

Bai Qiu said: "Don't be polite to me."

Bai Qiu said goodbye to Jiang Luo, and just as he turned around, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Jiang Luo, do you still sell peace talismans?"

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows, "Anyone want to buy it?"

"Your name has been spread all over the circle, saying that the talismans you wrote are very useful, and people everywhere want to buy your talismans. Some people found out that I have a relationship with you, so they found me," Bai Qiu explained, " The price given is also pretty good. If you want to sell, sister will screen the candidates for you, and you will definitely not be at a disadvantage."

People in the entertainment industry.

Jiang Luo thought for a while, "Don't sell it now, I will contact you when I have an idea."

Bai Qiu nodded, and Jiang Luo watched her leave.Jiang Luo didn't return to the car until Bai Qiu returned to the community safely.

He put the valentine flower on the co-pilot. The valentine flower looks like a baby's breath, but the flower is bright red, much more coquettish than the baby's breath.Jiang Luo looked at it with a smile for a while, sniffed the scent of flowers in the air, and happily drove to the suburbs.

With this thing, the success rate can be raised to a higher level.

It takes four to five hours from the urban area to Lianjia. When Jiang Luo arrived at his destination, it was already light.He plucked a few petals of the valentine flower, put them in his pocket, and walked up the mountain on foot.

The snow on the mountain has melted.The newborn sun slowly rises from the east, and the bright golden sunlight fills the entire mountain.When the sun rose high, Jiang Luo climbed to the place of "No Worldly Thought".

No one in Wu Su thought that he would come back today, so Xiaotong hurriedly opened the door for him, not long after, Ji Yaozi also came in a hurry.

Jiang Luo smiled and nodded towards Ji Yaozi, and walked forward with him, "Is the fate man here?"

"He's here," Ji Yaozi looked at him carefully and asked with concern, "You came here overnight? Do you want to sleep again?"

Jiang Luo was full of energy, "Staying up late is nothing to a young man like me. It just so happens that the business down the mountain has also been dealt with. I have a little question about spiritism and I want to ask you, so I took the time to go up the mountain."

There was also a little boy from Daoist Weihe around, Ji Yaozi didn't talk to Jiang Luo about what he couldn't say.He nodded knowingly, and naturally changed the topic to spiritism, "How are you practicing now?"

"It's not bad," Jiang Luo said with a smile, "The wood spirit and I have a predestined relationship, and it's handy to practice."

Ji Yaozi asked him about the trial again, and while chatting, the two of them saw Daoist Weihe approaching slowly.

"You're back," Daoist Weihe looked at Jiang Luo with relief, "You've been away for half a month, and Ji Yaozi is looking forward to you every day."

Jiang Luo smiled faintly at him, "I thought you would not let me go up the mountain again after leaving the Tianshi Mansion."

He was polite and kept silent about Lian Xue chasing and killing him.Daoist Weihe took a deep look at him, always feeling a little uneasy, "It's your business to meet us, you are you, Feng Li is Feng Li. Even if you and Feng Li severed the master-student relationship, I welcome you here too."

Jiang Luo smiled, "Thank you, Daoist Weihe."

Daoist Weihe took them to find the fateful person.

The man of fate is staying in the ancestral hall.

The wooden door of the ancestral hall was closed tightly, and Daoist Wei He knocked on the door twice first, before waiting for a response from inside, he opened the door and walked in first, and whispered: "You two wait outside first."

Jiang Luo responded respectfully.

Daoist Wei He gently closed the door and walked into the inner room.

The smoke in the inner room is ethereal, the scent of sandalwood blows towards the face, the windows are closed tightly, and there is a sense of immortality.On a long black wooden table, the idol was quietly placed in the center.The incense burner was full of ashes, and three sticks of incense were burning slowly.

In front of the statue is a fateful man in white.

Daoist Weihe walked behind Fateman, and he whispered, "Fateman, Jiang Luo is back."

The fateful man said softly: "I heard his voice."

He turned his head sideways, his white hair fell from his shoulders, and the fateful man's eyes were covered with snow, and he sighed softly, "I didn't expect him to come back on his own initiative."

Daoist Weihe was taken aback for a moment, did no one in Fate expect Jiang Luo to come back?Daoist Wei He frowned slightly, and expressed his worries, "Master Fate, does this kid have other ideas?"

Fateman smiled slightly, "No problem."

He was so calm, Daoist Wei He felt a little relieved.He thought for a while, Jiang Luo had already soaked in the water of Tianbi Pool, and was used by the fateful person to use the spirit of speech. In addition, the spiritism was only through the wood spirit, and there was not much movement.But there was still a bit of worry, which made Daoist Weihe unable to completely let go, "He didn't even ask me about Lianxue."

Is this child not taking these things to heart because of Tianbichi's role, or is he too tolerant?

"He asked, you won't feel at ease. If he doesn't ask you, you scratch your head instead." The fateful man lit three incense sticks again, "Lian Chun, you don't have to be so nervous."

Daoist Wei He smiled bitterly.

"If you are worried, then let Lian Xue not leave the ancestral house with the younger generation," Fate said humanely, "Jiang Luo didn't kill Lian Xue when he came down the mountain, and he won't attack Lian Xue in the future. He is a person who values ​​friendship."

Daoist Wei He opened his lips a few times, "Yes."

Fate said: "Let him in."

Jiang Luo stepped into the ancestral hall.

As soon as he entered the inner room, he saw the fateful man who was burning incense.

His eyes fell on the small god statue from the fateful man, and the smoke was so thick that he couldn't see the statue's appearance clearly.

"Destiny man," Jiang Luo took the initiative to say, "I'm back."

The fateful man inserted the incense into the censer and looked back at him, "I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

Jiang Luo said: "Come early and come late, I simply don't waste time."

The fateful man took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, his eyes were gentle and forgiving, "Have you figured it out?"

Jiang Luo remained silent.

The fateful man shook his head helplessly, "Jiang Luo, you don't have to point the knife at me."

He walked to the side and sat down, as if he was going to ascend to the immortal amidst the smoke and mist.The light-colored eyes smiled faintly, as if looking at a child, "I said, I won't kill people. Even if you want to kill me, I won't do anything to you. Jiang Luo, I won't hurt you, you can Trust me more."

After a while, Jiang Luo said slowly: "I saw the catastrophe you mentioned, and saw the future of the metaphysical world."

The fateful man looked at him quietly, waiting for his next words.

"My friend..." Jiang Luo turned his face away, clenched his teeth, and forced his composure, "They will all die in that catastrophe."

The fateful man said reassuringly, "That hasn't happened yet."

Jiang Luo took a deep breath and calmed down, "Fateman, I still don't believe you. You say you are a false god, so why don't you do something to Chi You yourself, and insist on me doing it to Chi You?"

"Because I am also in fate," the fateful person said, and suddenly pointed to the Buddha statue, "Do you want to burn incense?"

Jiang Luo obediently walked to the Buddha statue.

He took out the incense and smoked it in an orderly manner.Without a trace, he looked up at the statue.

The facial features of the god are blurred, but the eyebrows and eyes are gentle, as merciful and generous as he loves the world.

It gave Jiang Luo a vaguely familiar feeling, and Jiang Luo's heart moved, "This statue...is you?"

The fateful man nodded and said, "Yes."

Jiang Luo said: "Is this how the offering you received came from?"

"Yes and no," the fateful man said unhurriedly, "it's not that simple."

Jiang Luo looked at the statue with amazement and admiration, "This is amazing."

The fateful man smiled lightly.

He left the yin and yang ring to Jiang Luo, which was the first test.Jiang Luo risked his life to untie the yin-yang ring, which on the one hand showed his determination to become stronger, and on the other hand, his relationship with Chi You had reached the point where he needed to use the yin-yang ring to fight against each other.Jiang Luo like this couldn't resist the temptation to become stronger.

Destiny appreciates such a person.Jiang Luo dared to question the false gods, which meant that he had the determination to challenge the false gods.

Jiang Luo kept the appearance of the god firmly in his heart, and then went to sit next to the fateful man.He was clearly about to have a long talk, and the teapot ran out of water halfway through, so Jiang Luo took the initiative to pour the pot of water again.

The kitchen is not far away, it didn't take long for Jiang Luo to go back and forth.Seeing that the top of the teapot was wet, the fateful man asked casually, "Why is it wet?"

"There is some dust on the teapot, I wiped it with a damp cloth," Jiang Luo said, "There is also a layer of dust in the kitchen. It's not good to use firewood to light a fire, and the dust flies everywhere."

"That's right," Fate said humanely, "But those of us who are no longer young are still used to burning water with firewood."

Jiang Luo filled him with a glass of water and asked softly, "Then how old are you?"

The fateful man pondered for a moment, "I don't remember exactly how many years."

He stretched out his hand to take the water from Jiang Luo, and as soon as he touched the glass, he felt thirsty.Looking down, the water in the cup is crystal clear, slightly swaying, the ripples are sweet, and the mouth is slightly dry when I look at it.The fateful man took a sip and suddenly smiled, "There seems to be something wrong with this water."

Jiang Luo smiled steadily, "What's wrong?"

The fateful man took another sip, closed his eyes, and carefully discerned what was wrong, "The paper ash that fits...the petals of the lover's flower..."

"Yes," Jiang Luo admitted cleanly, "You are all right."

Fated man's cheeks turned slightly red, the medicine had already taken effect, but his hand holding the teacup was steady.He closed his eyes, put the teacup on the table, "looked" at Jiang Luo, and asked curiously, "Why did you use this thing for me?"

"I don't want to use this thing for you either. But my purpose is too big. If I only rely on my own strength, I'm afraid it won't be enough." Jiang Luo's smile deepened, "In order to be safe, I have to do both. But don't worry, Destiny man, as a member of my ancestors, I definitely don't have that kind of thought about you."

The fateful man accurately captured the most important word, and repeated: "Purpose?"

Jiang Luo couldn't help laughing, and changed the topic, "At the foot of the mountain, I heard that you were drugged, Feng Tianshi is your son."

The fateful man's face remained unchanged, except for the slight redness on his face, he still looked like a heartless and desireless fairy.

"I didn't expect that false gods could also use traditional Chinese medicine," Jiang Luo sighed, "but it gave me an idea. I don't know if other medicines are useful to you, but this medicine is different. I used Hehe water on a very powerful evil ghost. A ghost as powerful as his was controlled by the drug effect for 15 minutes, and it must be placed on you, at least it will have an effect for 15 minutes."

Chi You will be affected by the water mixed with Hefu and Lover's Flower. He is the future winner and the absolute protagonist in the book. Of course, other people who are not as good as him will be affected, even the fateful people are no exception.

The fateful man sat calmly, his breathing began to heat up.

He had already guessed who the "mighty demon" was.

Strange dryness rises from the internal organs, strange and strange.Although Fated Man didn't look at Jiang Luo, his ears heard everything.There seemed to be the sound of paper and pen rubbing. Jiang Luo was writing?

Soon, the sound of footsteps came in front of the fateful man.

Jiang Luo quickly stopped laughing, his voice was cold, as if he was about to turn into a dagger and kill Fate, "Fate, open your eyes."

His voice sounded like heaven in the ears of the fateful man.The fateful person noticed that his emotions were wrong, but he couldn't control it.He opened his eyes helplessly and looked at Jiang Luo.

The black-haired young man stood in front of him, looking down at him.That pretty face was as cold as ice, which made Fated Man clearly understand that Jiang Luo's tricks had nothing to do with jokes and love, he was just trying to achieve his own goals.

But even so, there was still a love in Fate's heart that made him feel novel.

He is weak by nature, and as a false god, this is the first time he feels a preference for a human being.

Jiang Luo said: "First, give me the last Yuan Tianzhu."

The fateful man paused, feeling more helpless.He smiled gently, and still took out a transparent bead from his body and handed it to Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo put away the Yuan Tianzhu and continued: "Second, look at these three characters."

The fateful man subconsciously looked at the note in his hand.

The qi in Jiang Luo's body was extracted crazily, and the character spirit came into play.

The fateful man's pupils constricted suddenly, and an ominous warning sounded frantically in his heart. He stared at these three words, and Jiang Luo's unceremonious command tone sounded in his ears.

He said: "Fateman, enshrine me."
