Chapter 173 Campus 16
After all the patients in the room had finished their dinner, they began to discuss the matter of the school pond.
"The Ghost Tamer Association has already dealt with this incident, and no one will investigate it again. But what should we do about that ghost thing at the bottom of the lake?"
Lu Changning was peeling an orange and had no intention of joining in at all.
Yang Guang, who was eating fried chicken, said: "I smelled the scent of the Shadow Orb on that monster. I suspect this thing is controlled by the Shadow Orb."
Lu Changning put the peeled orange into Qu Xiao's hand, not caring whether he wanted it or not, and moved to the bench in front of the window to bask in the sun, lying on the windowsill, listening to the group's analysis of the monster in the water. He almost fell asleep while listening.
"Lu Changning, what do you think?"
Lu Changning struggled to get up after being woken up by Ji You's pillow. "What can I do? This is none of my business as a high school student. Why don't you just report it to the ghost master at the next level and let them handle it?"
Yang Guang refused directly: "That won't work. My inner elixir is still in this school. What if it is snatched away by other ghost masters?"
"Then go look for it in the lake."
Ji You seemed to have grasped the key point of Lu Changning's words: "You mean, the Shadow Orb is in the school's artificial lake?"
Lu Changning was beginning to doubt the brains of the two protagonists. Was it because they were corroded by sewage that they were rusted like this? "You have always said that the monster in the lake was controlled by the Shadow Orb, but why couldn't that monster be the Shadow Orb?"
Ji You didn't expect this: "No, I see that the monster's attack is very well-organized, and it obviously has its own ideas. It is basically an intelligent water ghost. How could it be a shadow bead?"
Lu Changning asked Yang Guang: "How long has your inner elixir been lost?"
"More than a thousand years."
"After more than a thousand years, anything can become a spirit! Not to mention the ghost pill that is already full of evil spirits, it is normal for it to grow intelligence."
Hearing this, the chicken drumstick in Yang Guang's hand lost its flavor. He obviously couldn't accept the fact that his inner elixir had spiritual intelligence: "You are talking nonsense. The inner elixir is the inner elixir. How can it turn into a monster? What evidence do you have to prove what you said?"
"Do you need evidence?" Lu Changning pointed at Yang Guang's translucent ghost body and said, "How did the evil spirit on you disappear? Don't you know it? The evil spirit of the ghost king is so strong, how can a simple water ghost withstand it? Only the shadow beads, which are of the same origin, will be eager to drain you and refine you to enhance their own strength."
Ji You thought it made sense: "I didn't expect the Shadow Pearl to have its own thoughts. This will be difficult to deal with."
Yang Guang listened to what the two said, and the meat in his hand fell to the ground. "What? My inner elixir wants to kill me? Just because we have been separated for more than a thousand years, he is no longer mine? My inner elixir wants to kill me?"
Ji You couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he came over to comfort her: "Don't think like that. Your inner elixir now has its own thoughts, just like your child. Your child has been away from you for too long, so he may not want to be found by you. It doesn't matter. What's yours is yours. I will help you."
Yang Guang's face turned pale: "I don't want your description anymore."
Yes, a spiritual inner elixir was put back into the body again. Just thinking about it gave me a chill.
Lu Changning felt that even for the sake of the plot, he had to say a few words: "Actually, there's no need to worry. Although he has his own consciousness, the power in his body is not. As long as Yang Guang gets back the energy in the Shadow Orb, he may be able to make pills again in a few years."
Yang Guang pointed at his semi-transparent self and said, "Do you believe I can beat him?"
Lu Changning was puzzled: "Why can't you win? After all, you are the real body, but how can a thousand-year-old evil spirit lose to my inner elixir?"
Yang Guang coughed awkwardly: "Although I am so much older, I was sealed in the jar by the old man of the Ji family who was punished by heaven for most of the time. In fact, I didn't have much time to practice. But he has been practicing this pill for more than a thousand years. How can a little ghost like me who is only old fight against such a big pill? Forget it, I'd better find a place to hide and wait for Ji You to die and take me to the underworld with him."
This...I may not be able to win.
Xiao Hong said in a sinister voice, it's not certain, the male protagonist was simply completely defeated by the inner elixir.
Yang Guang wondered: The gap in strength is so obvious, so how was it solved in the original plot?
Xiao Hong flipped through the Book of Life and Death and said, "Oh, it's all because of the power of true love. True love is invincible. Hiss, this is so ridiculous."
It would be fine if there was a true love that was invincible, but why didn't he see any signs of true love between Ji You and Yang Guang? Could it be the 'true love' between Yang Guang and Shadow Pearl? It didn't seem impossible.
Ji You's arms were wrapped tightly. No one knew what he was thinking, and he looked a little absent-minded.
Lu Changning didn't give up: "Don't you plan to look for the Shadow Orb anymore? Are you giving up now?"
Yang Guang spread his hands: "What else can I do if I don't give up? The opponent's strength is there. Even if we put our forces together, we are no match for that bead! Unless, Boss Lu, you have a solution."
Speaking of solutions, there is one: "I think you should talk to Shadow Pearl. Since he has regained consciousness, it proves that we can communicate. Let's see what your inner elixir thinks! If it doesn't work, I will give you another magic weapon I just got, which will have a devastating killing power on him."
Yang Guang was moved by what he said, and turned to look at Ji You: "What do you think, should we risk our lives to have a talk, or retreat!"
Ji You was also a little undecided at this time. Their lineage of ghost masters was already weak, and they had been suppressed by those great seniors in recent years, leaving them with almost no room to survive. Fortunately, he accidentally broke the jar and released Yang Guang, so life became a little better. If he could subdue the Shadow Pearl, he would have a chance to compete for a high position in the future. But if he gave up and returned with Yang Guang, who had been drained of his evil spirit, in disgrace, his future life might become the same as before.
After thinking it through, Ji You made a decision: "Let's go talk." He must get this shadow bead.
While they were discussing this, Qu Xiao curled up in the quilt as if he was asleep. He didn't make any sound during the whole process.
Lu Changning was paying attention to Qu Xiao's changes throughout the whole process. He knew that he was not asleep, but was hiding under the quilt and listening to everything quietly. Everyone in the room seemed to have forgotten the person on the other bed, and they discussed the next plan without any scruples, without any concealment.
After the general plan of things was worked out, Lu Changning planned to go back. This matter could not be completed in one day, not to mention that some of them were injured and some were disabled. He was the only strong man. If he went to settle the score with Shadow Pearl now, wouldn't he be asking to be a shield?
Lu Changning walked out of the ward door reluctantly. He thought that after talking so much, Qu Xiao would have something to talk about. Unexpectedly, in the end, he said nothing. He sighed heavily at the door of the ward, and then walked towards the school.
Fortunately, both of them only suffered superficial injuries and were discharged from the hospital after three days. Qu Xiao did not choose to go home to recuperate, but went back to school directly. Not only that, he was so bold as to follow Ji You and Yang Guang to the artificial lake.
Lu Changning, who was waiting by the artificial lake, was really surprised when he saw Qu Xiao.
"Why are you here?"
Qu Xiao looked unhappy: "Why, is this artificial lake yours? Why can't I come here?"
Well, he is still angry. Lu Changning closed his mouth in dismay.
Ji You saw the conflict between the two, but he didn't bother to care about it. He ran to Lu Changning and asked, "What is the secret weapon you mentioned before?"
Lu Changning took out the medicine bottle behind him and said, "Here, the honeysuckle element bought from the fertilizer store outside has a miraculous effect on algae!"
Seeing this thing, Ji You's facial nerves twitched. He wanted to curse but didn't say it out loud: "We are dealing with the Shadow Orb, what are you doing with a pot of pesticide! Does this pesticide have an effect on the Ghost King's inner elixir?"
Lu Changning thought deeply: "Logically speaking, this thing can cause some harm to humans, and maybe to ghosts as well."
Ji You gritted his teeth in anger.
Lu Changning was dissatisfied. Was this a secret weapon that looked down on him?
"Hey, hey, I treat you as my friends, so I told you the method. What's with that expression? Don't you believe me?"
Ji You pouted: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? We ghost masters don't use pesticides to deal with ghosts. Why don't you let Yang Guang drink a sip and try it? If it works, I'll use it to wash my hair."
Yang Guang, who was standing at the back and was caught in the crossfire, quickly stepped back when he heard his name being called. This thing looks unpalatable, and it was brought out by Lu Changning. What if he was scared to death after taking a sip? The ghost master is stupid, but he is not stupid! If he wants to wash his hair, he can do it himself, and don't implicate innocent ghosts.
Lu Changning angrily retorted: "Think about the consequences of using this to wash your hair first. Anyway, I used this bottle of stuff to rescue Yang Guang that day."
"Is it really useful?" Seeing Lu Changning so serious, Ji You began to feel uncertain. Ghosts are afraid of pesticides, isn't that nonsense! But what if? Ghosts are also afraid of grains. This thing can even kill grains, so it should... probably... also be able to kill ghosts.
The plan began. Ji You stood by the lake and threw Yang Guang, who was standing far away, out: "Go, Pika Guang!"
Suddenly, Yang Guang’s cries could be heard throughout the lake.
"You really threw it! Ji You, I * your uncle!"
Lu Changning took a deep breath. This action was without any hesitation. He was indeed a man who could do great things. He was not so resolute even when he threw the Red Other Side.
Xiao Hong watched this scene from afar and exclaimed in amazement: "The male lead threw the other male lead out to fish. I have never seen such a big show before. It's wonderful, really wonderful."
Facts have proved that as long as the bait is well laid, the fat fish will not be able to escape.
Soon after Yang Guang was thrown out, green waves began to rise on the lake surface. The monster with vines wrapped around its body climbed up from the bottom of the lake again, and shot out thin filaments to attack cleanly.
Yang Guang braked suddenly and floated back to the shore. Ji You brought enough talismans this time and immediately put up a protective shield. Lu Changning quickly stood in front of Qu Xiao and protected him behind him. The spray in his hand was already loaded, ready to attack.
Ji You manipulated the talisman while shouting into the lake: "We have no ill intentions, we just came to talk to you."
The monster in the lake said in a deep voice: "What can I talk to you guys about? Go to hell!"
As he spoke, even sharper filaments came pouring in like an overwhelming force.
"It can actually talk. It's rare for the inner elixir to evolve independently."
"Don't worry about it!" Yang Guang moved behind Lu Changning and even hid behind Qu Xiao: "You should find a way to subdue him first. This thing is planning to kill its master! He is coming for me."
The filaments were extremely sharp, and some of them had penetrated the shield of the talisman and stabbed towards the people. Lu Changning calmly raised the spray bottle and sprayed at the green filaments. The filaments withered and turned yellow as soon as they came into contact with the mist. The withering spread along the filaments and attacked the main body of the monster.
Ji You was stunned: "So powerful, this thing is so powerful. With just a little bit, he couldn't hold on?"
Lu Changning had no intention of spraying anymore, and shouted to the struggling monster in the lake: "Hey, come up and talk!"
I don’t know if it was because of the deterrent effect of the spray or Lu Changning’s unique personal charm, but the monster actually came ashore.
The huge figure slowly moved to the shore, just like a haystack appearing in the fields after the busy farming season.
The monster moved to the shore, glanced at Yang Guang, and suddenly snorted: "Why are you looking for me?"
Yang Guang was mocked by this snort: "Hey, you were my inner elixir before, why don't you remember the past and want to kill me?"
Yang Guang's words completely angered Haydoo, who roared at Yang Guang in a deep voice: "That's because you deserve to die!"
Yang Guang was yelled at and immediately hid behind Lu Changning: "Look, he still doesn't repent, hurry up and scold him."
Lu Changning ignored Yang Guang's shouting and asked Shadow Pearl: "Can you tell me why he deserves to die?"
Speaking of this, for some reason, I could actually see the vicissitudes of life from this big green haystack: "I was originally the inner elixir of the Ghost King Yang Guang, condensed from his evil spirit. I thought I would follow the Ghost King to achieve hegemony! However, I didn't expect that I followed a fool. This guy actually made a bet with the old monk in the mountains and defeated me. You can tell me, looking at the whole world, has there ever been a ghost pill that was defeated in a bet since ancient times!"
"Yang Guang didn't suffer any loss, but I was dug out from his Dantian. At that moment, I was homeless and dependent on others. I became a plaything snapped up by many companies. In the end, I was buried in this mass grave to suppress the dead souls! Other ghost pills have a constant supply of evil energy from their owners, and they continue to grow! Only I was output in such a ridiculous way. Without energy supply, I have to pick up the evil energy thrown away by others to maintain my spirituality! Yang Guang is free, but what about me? Do you know how I have survived for more than a thousand years?"
