Chapter 5 Blue Ghost Claw

Chen Shi also discovered something strange about his grandfather. He had a bad smell and liked the smell of incense just like the scholar ghost at the entrance of the village.

 And he has not seen his grandpa eating these days. He has only seen grandpa secretly eating candles, one after another, like eating radishes!

  He even felt that those chickens and ducks that died inexplicably were probably secretly bitten to death by grandpa and drained of their blood!

 But to Chen Shi, no matter what he becomes, his grandfather is still his closest relative.

  "Heiguo, take him to drink medicine." Grandpa said calmly.

 Outside Chen's courtyard, a big black dog waggled its tail obediently, bit Chen Shi's sleeve, and pulled him home.

 Humbling behind, the giant human head floated towards me.

The ancient tree in the center of the village moved automatically in the absence of wind. A branch whipped out like a long whip and hit the giant man's head with a snap, causing the huge human head to fly away.

  The pungent smell of medicine came. After Chen Shi drank a pot of medicine, he sat in the medicine jar with a swollen belly.

 This pot of medicine is his dinner.

 There was a fire under the medicine vat, and a big black dog was sitting in front of the fire. Although it was a dog, it had kind eyes. When he saw that the fire was getting smaller, he picked up a piece of firewood and stuffed it into the fire.

 The medicine vat was bubbling and bubbling. Chen Shi was so hot that he grinned and shouted, "Heiguo, stop burning it! If you burn it again, it will be cooked!"

 Heiguo is the name of this big black dog.

 As the name suggests, when the father and son do something wrong, the dog often takes the blame.

Black Pot was picked up by his grandfather and raised with the leftovers at home. He can understand people's speech, is very spiritual, and has a kind heart. Hearing this, he added a few more firewood to the bottom of the pot.

 The black dog blinked, as if he wanted to see if Chen Shi could be cooked.

  Chen Shi screamed for a while, then gradually stopped.

  He seems to be used to this kind of temperature.

 The young man sat comfortably in the medicine vat, leaning against the edge of the medicine vat. He raised his hand and touched the back of his head, feeling the long scar.

   He didn't have much memory of the injury on the back of his head.

   He could not remember many things, he did not remember his parents, he did not remember whether he had read before, nor did he remember that his head had been pried open.

When he woke up that year, he felt a splitting headache, surrounded by darkness and cold. There were waves of strange, thick and old voices coming from the darkness, as if coming from outside, guiding him.

  He followed the guidance of the voice. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he saw a glimmer of light.

 When he walked into the light, the surrounding darkness receded like a tide, and everything gradually became brighter.

 When he got used to the light, he realized that he was sitting in a large medicine vat. The medicine vat was steaming and the smell of medicine was pungent. Next to the medicine vat stood a tall and burly old man with white hair, and at his feet was a black dog who was adding firewood.

 Seeing him wake up, the white-haired old man hugged him tightly with excitement.

Later, Chen Shi learned that this old man was his grandfather. He had been in a coma for a long time. It was his grandfather who never left him and used various elixirs to treat his illness and prolong his life.

  Chen Shi did not remember anything before he was nine years old. He did not remember anything until he woke up, so strictly speaking, he was only a two-year-old child.

  "It turns out that someone poached the divine fetus, and I became like this."

  Chen Shi thought of eavesdropping on the conversation between the woman in purple and others, and said silently in his heart, "I am not born a useless person, I can also cultivate, I can also become the favored son of God, the proud son of heaven! The son of the Prime Minister of Li County in Buffalo County, Li Xiaoding...what hatred, what resentment!"

Anger welled up in his chest. For the past two years, he had been with the medicine vat, and he had to go into the big medicine vat to boil for a period of time every day. The medicines in the medicine tank are also frequently changed, and there are all kinds of medicinal materials that cannot be named, and there are even things like poisonous snakes and scorpions!

  Chen Shi only knew that he was sick, but he never knew what kind of illness he had!

 Now I finally know that all the hardships I have endured in recent years come from this, from this noble Mr. Li Xiaoding!


At this time, the air temperature dropped again, and even the flame under the medicine vat became much smaller. The flame, which was originally yellow and clear, became green now.

 It’s grandpa who has entered the house.

  Chen Shi glanced quietly and saw his grandfather standing in the shadow of the corner. He couldn't see his face clearly and didn't know what he was doing there. But Chen Shi always felt that his grandfather was staring at him. Sometimes his eyes were gentle, but sometimes they were full of murderous intent.

  Chen Shi once saw this kind of killing intent in a seriously injured leopard.

 At that time, he planned to get close to the leopard and bandage its wounds, but the leopard's eyes gave him chills. It was the murderous intent exuded by a beast facing the threat of death!

After a while, grandpa walked out again, the flames became stronger again, and the air temperature gradually rose.

 Chen Shi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

 The black dog also breathed a long sigh of relief and thoughtfully added a few firewood to the fire. He only trembled a little when he picked up the firewood. Apparently the dog also felt the murderous intention from his grandfather.

 Both people and dogs realized that although grandpa was still grandpa, he was no longer the same person as before.

  My grandpa was kind.

 The current grandpa does not have it.

  The medicinal soup in the medicine jar gradually became clearer, and Chen Shi felt a strange air flow seeping out of the medicinal soup and burrowing into his skin, like small insects burrowing through the pores of the skin, burrowing under the skin, burrowing into the flesh, burrowing into the internal organs, and burrowing into the bones. It was indescribably uncomfortable.

Even though he was soaking in the water, he felt like he was in a blazing fire. His whole body, from the inside out, was constantly being burned and refined by the fire!

 Although Chen Shi was used to this kind of pain, he still couldn't help but tremble slightly.

 When the medicine was exhausted and the medicine soup became as clear as water, Chen Shi got up from the jar.

I saw a green claw mark on the left side of his chest, with his fingers spread apart, as if an invisible ghost hand was holding his heart. After being tempered by water and fire in the medicine vat, the green ghost hand mark became much lighter.

 Since Chen Shi can remember, the mark of the cyan ghost hand has been there, and it has not faded yet.

  The cyan ghost handprints are very strange. They will fade after taking a medicinal bath, but will become clear again after a while.

 Chen Shi changed into his shirt and came to the courtyard.

 Grandpa's voice came from the next room: "...A Tang, when will you come back... I know you are very busy. No matter how busy you are, you have to go home, right... I am old and I won't live long. Xiao Shi is still young and needs someone to take care of him. You take him to the city... I know life is difficult in the city, but after all, he is your son, and he is your son even if you don't recognize him..."

Chen Shi stood silently in the yard, motionless.

 Grandpa was also a monk. Chen Shi didn't know his grandfather's level of cultivation. He only knew that he followed him into the mountains and never encountered danger.

 Grandpa should be in the room at this time, using the Thousand Miles Telephone Talisman to contact Chen Shi's father, Chen Tang.

  Chen Shi has never met his father Chen Tang.

 Not even once.

Maybe he saw him before someone took away the divine fetus, but since he woke up, his father has never come back once.

  He has never seen his mother either.

 Not even once.

  Chen Shi abandoned distracting thoughts and silently operated the Three Lights Righteousness Technique. The stars in the sky kept falling, nourishing his body and boosting his energy.

 However, not long after, the true energy dissipated again, and no true energy remained.

  He persevered and practiced on his own.

 At midnight, he finished practicing and went back to his room to lie down.

 Not long after, grandpa came to Chen Shi's bed quietly as if he was sleepwalking. He stood there without moving, and his shadow shrouded Chen Shi's face.

 His figure sometimes leaned forward and sometimes leaned back, but remained silent.

 That piercing killing intent filled the small room again.

 Silent.

 But depressed.

 After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, the window in Chen Shi's room opened automatically without any wind and creaked. Grandpa straightened up and flew out of the window.

      

   He made a murmur-like sound, and suddenly he stood up and disappeared from the courtyard.

 Hikaiguo raised his head alertly, looked around, then put his head back and continued to sleep.

 In the room, Chen Shi on the bed quietly opened his eyes and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Grandpa must be sick, and he didn’t want to kill me.” He thought silently in his heart.

 At this moment, he felt a twinge of pain in his heart. The severe pain suddenly made his body curl up, like a cooked prawn, and his skin became red, with veins sprouting out!

  He bit the quilt tightly, his body was shaking, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't make a sound or breathe. Soon, he was covered in big beads of sweat!

  Chen Shi's body couldn't stop shaking. He looked down and saw that the cyan ghost claw was holding his heart, squeezing it tighter and tighter!

  Chen Shi's head tightened. This was not the first time this happened.

He would experience similar severe pain every few days, and would pass out from the pain several times. During his coma, he even dreamed of many huge, towering and terrifying black shadows in the darkness, surrounding him and stretching out black palms covered with scales towards him.

 In the past, every time the ghost claws broke out, it was his grandfather who came to the rescue and pulled him back from the gate of hell. But now, grandpa is not here!

  Chen Shi struggled hard, his feet softened, and he rolled off the bed. He was so painful that he had no strength.

  He suddenly gritted his teeth, struggled to get up, stepped on Yu steps, and walked like the Big Dipper. He pinched the thumb and little finger of his left and right hands, inserted his right hand into his left hand, walked in the small shabby room, and silently recited the Three Lights of Righteousness Jue.

"When the emperor is born, only God is respected. Evils are everywhere, there is no true God, only ghosts are messing with people! Observe the way of heaven, follow the path of heaven, cultivate strong righteousness, and refine the holy body of the body!"

He activated the technique, and the little stars were like fireflies in the dark night, flying from the open window, falling into the surface of his skin, and seeping into his skin and flesh.

 As the Sanguang Zhengqi Jue was operating, he felt that the pain was gradually decreasing and he was gradually becoming tolerable.

  Chen Shi continued to activate the Sanguang Zhengqi Jue, and the pain became lower and lower. The blue knuckles of the ghost hand holding his heart stretched out one by one, no longer squeezing his heart tightly.

  "What's going on with the ghost claw on my chest? Why do I have this ghost hand on my body?"

After a long time, the severe pain disappeared. Chen Shi was still frightened and looked out the window. The moon was silvery white, illuminating the courtyard with mottled shadows.

  "Three Lights of Righteousness can suppress pain. If this method can attract moonlight and sunlight, and cultivate the righteousness of the sun and moon, there may be no pain like ghost claws gripping the heart. Unfortunately, every time I activate it, it cannot attract the light of the sun and moon."

 Suddenly, an idea came to the young man's mind, bringing many new doubts: " The sun is obviously the eyes of the only true god in the sky, and the moon is obviously its vertical eye. Why does the sun rise, set, and the moon wax and wane? It’s really weird. Is it possible, is it possible..." A bold idea suddenly came to his mind: "Is it possible that there are other suns and moons? The three-ray righteousness actually uses other moonlight and sunlight?"

 He stuck his head out of the window and looked curiously at the moon in the sky, which was bright and full of mystery.

 That is the vertical eye of the true God outside the sky.

   "But, if there is such a sun and moon, why can't they be seen in the sky?"

   Chen Shi lay on the bed with curiosity and many reveries in his mind.

 In the sky, the divine eyes are like the moon, monitoring all living beings.

 Over the mountain forest, the inflatable human head was hit by a cold light, fell heavily, and smashed into the mountain.

 Soon a tall figure came to the side and ate the flesh.

    “Yummy, delicious, evil tastes better than humans!”

   ————Thank you to the master of home cooking for the golden reward! Thanks to Alliance A and Zhuo Yao, two silver alliances, for blessing the new book!

 The update time will be tomorrow, around 11 am!
