Chapter 244: Weird 【06】
Yuan Jia made Xue Yuanjia's heart that was taken out into a strange item and gave it to Xue Yuanjing.
This spooky item has only one function - to summon him.
It is equivalent to Yuan Jia and Xue Yuanjing being bound together, Xue Yuanjing can summon Yuan Jia to show up anytime and anywhere, and he can also enter Xuejiazhuang anytime and anywhere.
After Xue Yuanjing learned about the role of this little heart, he stopped talking about refusal.
If it is simply to be able to summon the big brother to protect himself, Xue Yuanjing would rather not use this function for the rest of his life, but this little heart is the key to his home, which makes him unable to refuse.
Xue Yuanjing stroked his heart, a sweet feeling oozing out of his heart.
He turned his head to look at Father Xue and Mother Xue, who looked dull and sluggish, and felt sad again: "Big brother, father and mother..."
Yuan Jia sighed and said, "Father and mother are just the most ordinary ghosts, without sanity, they are in a daze, and they are manipulated by me in the Xuejiazhuang. All I can do is to let my father and mother repeat the days before they were alive, but to regain consciousness can only be It's luck."
Xue Yuanjing fell silent and walked towards Father Xue and Mother Xue. However, as soon as he approached, Father Xue and Mother Xue showed him a ferocious expression. He wanted to make a move, but he sensed Yuanjia's breath in him, instinctively. He stepped back in fear, not daring to approach Xue Yuanjing.
Many ghosts in Xuejiazhuang are controlled by Yuan Jia, the owner of Xuejiazhuang. They are instinctively afraid of him. This fear is not changed because of their status in life.
Father Xue and Mother Xue didn't show this kind of fear before, because they were secretly manipulated by Yuan Jia, like a puppet.
Xue Yuanjing looked at the performance of Xue's father and Xue's mother, and his heart was very painful. He finally realized what Jiang Li meant when he said that ghosts have nothing to do with their lives after death.
Yuan Jia walked over to him with a sigh, grabbed his shoulders, and comforted: "Yuan Jing, you still have my eldest brother, and my eldest brother will always be with you."
In fact, if Yuanjia had not crossed over halfway, the real Xue Yuanjia would not have regained his full sanity. If Xue Yuanjing broke into Xuejiazhuang, I am afraid that Xue Yuanjia might not be able to recognize his younger brother who was very different from when he was young. If Xue Yuanjing did something that violated the taboo, he might even be killed by Xue Yuanjia himself.
Yuan Jia thought about what Xue Yuanjing might have encountered, and felt a little distressed for this younger brother.
Although Xue Yuanjing in this world is a male protagonist, he is obviously the kind of male protagonist who suffers many types of bitterness and hatred.
Yuan Jia's thoughts moved, causing Xue's father and mother to leave Xue Yuanjing's sight. Whether it is to let Xue's father and Xue's mother pretend to be normal, or this kind of muddleheaded appearance, it will make Xue Yuanjing feel pain and sadness, it is better to disappear.
In order to divert Xue Yuanjing's attention, Yuan Jia asked him how he had spent these years.
Xue Yuanjing didn't talk about the difficulty of survival and revenge that he was hunted down for, he picked up the good content and said: "I accidentally acquired the inheritance of a master from outside the world, and I practiced a magic skill... I killed it after my great success. Enemy, avenge my parents and you..."
He told about the kind people he met to help him during the escape from being hunted down, and he never mentioned the villains who betrayed him.
He recounted the great joy of killing his enemies after he achieved great feats, never mentioning the hardships of practicing and the difficulty of revenge.
Yuan Jia listened to him reporting good news but not bad news, and did not expose him. He didn't want to talk about those painful memories, so why should he ask him to make him feel uncomfortable again?
He only needs to know that his younger brother has been through a hard time for the past 15 years. As a big brother, he should dote on him well, dote on him back to the flamboyant and wanton bright and handsome boy 15 years ago, and let him have a home again.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
In the Xuejiazhuang dungeon.
Yuan Jia opened the door and walked in with Xue Yuanjing, he said in a gentle voice: "Yuanjing, pay attention to your feet, the ground here is not very flat, and it has not been taken care of for many years, be careful not to fall, do you want big brother? lead you away?"
Xue Yuanjing seemed to be back when he was young again, and said without any shyness: "Okay, eldest brother will lead me, so I won't be afraid of falling."
Jiang Li, who was imprisoned in the dungeon, heard the dialogue, half-deadly opened his eyes, and looked in the direction of the light.
Xue Yuanjing's footsteps were getting closer.
Yuan Jia and Xue Yuanjing came to the door of the dungeon where Jiang Li was imprisoned, and looked at the two people inside through the iron gate.
I saw that Jiang Li's partner with the broken arm had fallen to the ground and was dead. The candlelight from the red lantern in Yuan Jia's hand shone on the corpse, but found that the corpse had no shadow.
He looked curiously at the shadow under Jiang Li. Jiang Li, who had already been pinched by him, still had a shadow attached to his body, but this shadow did not have a right hand.
"You grabbed your companion's shadow on yourself?"
Jiang Li looked at Yuan Jia coldly, and said feebly, "If you hadn't destroyed my shadow, how could I have done this?"
His voice was very strange, as if it was a chorus of two people.
Although Yuan Jia didn't know what method Jiang Li used to divide his own shadow and get his companion's shadow onto himself, but listening to his voice as if they were in harmony, he could also guess that Jiang Li used this kind of The method to survive, certainly not a small price.
He ignored Jiang Li's shadow, but said, "I can let you go, but you have to make sure that you can't involve Yuan Jing after you go out, otherwise, I can take your life at any time."
Jiang Li said in surprise: "Really? Are you really willing to let me go?"
Yuan Jia said lightly, "You know what to say after you go out."
Jiang Li hurriedly assured: "Don't worry, I will never involve Xue Yuanjing. It is normal to investigate strange dead people. I will give the night watchman a perfect reason when I go back."
With a faint smile on Yuan Jia's face, he threw the white bone scissors to Jiang Li.
He confiscated three strange objects, namely 'painting the ground as a prison hairpin', 'walking the yin flag', and 'white bone scissors'.
Among them, the 'white bone scissors' were the most useless to Xue Yuanjing, so Yuan Jia only gave Xue Yuanjing the 'painting the ground as a prison hairpin' and the 'going yin flag', and the 'white bone scissors' returned to Jiang Li.
So that when Jiang Li returned, there was not a single strange item left, causing suspicion from the court and involving Xue Yuanjing.
As for "painting the ground as a prison hairpin" and "walking the yin flag", they are considered stolen goods. They were used by Yuan Jia for Xue Yuanjing's body protection.
Although Xue Yuanjing was able to summon him, it would take a certain amount of time to summon him. In case of an emergency, he had to have something else on his body to save his life.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Since Yuanjia promised to let Jiang Li go, he naturally would not break his promise, so he sent Jiang Li and Xue Yuanjing out of Xuejiazhuang together.
When they parted, Yuan Jia stood at the door of Xuejiazhuang, smiled and waved at Xue Yuanjing: "See you later."
Yuan Jia still couldn't take a step out of Xuejiazhuang, but Xue Yuanjing could summon him along with Xuejiazhuang.
So when Xue Yuanjing wants to see him, he can be summoned at any time. As for the price to pay for using that little heart, it was set by Yuan Jia to provide him with the energy needed for the summoning, so Xue Yuanjing didn't have to pay the price.
Xue Yuanjing knew that this separation was only temporary, just like going out the door temporarily, he said goodbye to his eldest brother in a relaxed mood, and then followed Jiang Li into the lost mist.
Yuan Jia watched Xue Yuanjing's back disappear from sight, the door of Xuejiazhuang slowly closed, and the entire Xuejiazhuang slowly disappeared and went into hiding.
Xue Yuanjing and Jiang Li were walking back to Wuxi City, and Jiang Li was afraid to speak.
He really didn't expect to investigate a 'Xuejiazhuang' this time, and he would find a strange person who had regained his sanity before his death, and the man next to him who was once used as a pathfinder cannon fodder was still the strange brother before his death.
Jiang Li was panicking now, and said cautiously, "Thank you so much for this time, Master Xue. If you have any orders from Master Xue, feel free to speak up. It is the duty of Jiang to help him."
Xue Yuanjing glanced at Jiang Li, who squeezed out a pleasing smile, in stark contrast to the arrogance when he first met him.
But he didn't feel very happy in his heart, and asked, "What is the court vigil like?"
Jiang Li also disregarded the regulation that the night watchman should not disclose the situation of the night watchman to outsiders, and quickly explained: "The night watchman is an organization formed by the imperial court and composed of ghost slayers. There are many strange items in the treasury that have been restricted, and ghost exterminators with high spiritual sense can use these strange items to target the restricted strange..."
Jiang Li knew that Xue Yuanjing was an ordinary person and didn't know anything about ghosts and ghosts, so he explained them one by one in detail.
Xue Yuanjing listened silently, he knew that his parents had turned into the lowest-level ghosts, while his elder brother had turned into weirdness.
When he heard Jiang Li say, 'It's weird and inexplicable, it can't be killed, it can't be destroyed', he felt a little joy in his heart, because then he didn't have to worry about his brother being killed by the ghost slayer one day. .
Xue Yuanjing listened and made up his mind. He said, "I want to join the Night Watch, can you do anything?"
If ghosts want to restore their minds, they need to improve their strength. To become stronger, the stronger the ghosts, the more likely they are to restore their minds.
There are two ways for ghosts to become stronger, one is to kill people, and the other is to devour the Yin Qi of other ghosts.
Xue Yuanjing wanted his parents to regain their sanity, and didn't want them to be so confused forever. He couldn't kill and feed his parents, but killing ghosts and taking yin was no problem.
Ghosts are difficult to find. Only by joining an official organization such as the Night Watch will have enough intelligence support to easily find the traces of ghosts.
Jiang Li was taken aback by Xue Yuanjing's request, and said, "You don't have spiritual sense. No matter how high your martial arts are, you can't become a ghost slayer, and you can't use weird objects."
Xue Yuanjing took out the 'Drawing Ground as a Prison Hairpin' and 'Walking Yin Flag' that Yuan Jia gave him, and looked at Jiang Li with a half-smile: "No, I can use weird items."
These two strange items were eroded by Yuan Jia's breath, and Xue Yuanjing could use them even if he had no spiritual sense.
He looked at Jiang Li, who was stunned, and said, "I can still summon my elder brother to come to my side to help me."
Jiang Li's heart was as sour as drinking a tank of vinegar: Is this the benefit of having a weird big brother who can restore his memories before his death?
He also really wanted to have such a big brother and brother to pretend to force him to fly!
