Chapter 5 Green Ghost Claw
Chen Shi also discovered something strange about his grandfather. He smelled bad and liked the smell of incense just like the scholar ghost at the entrance of the village.
And he hasn't seen his grandpa eating these days. He only saw 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 his grandfather and drained of their blood!
But for Chen Shi, no matter what he becomes, his grandfather is still his closest relative.
"Kai Guo, 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.
From behind, the giant human head floated over.
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 vat with a swollen belly.
This pot of medicine is his dinner.
Under the medicine vat was a fire. A big black dog was sitting in front of the fire. Although it was a dog, it had a kind face and 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 jar was bubbling and bubbling. Chen Shi was so hot that he grinned and shouted: "Black pot, stop burning it! If you burn it again, it will be cooked!"
Black Pot 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.
The black pot was picked up by his grandfather and raised with the leftovers at home. He can understand people's speech. He is very spiritual and kind-hearted. 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 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 had little recollection of the injury to the back of his head.
He couldn't remember many things, he didn't remember his parents, he didn't remember whether he had read before, and he didn't remember that he had had his head pried open.
When he woke up that year, he felt a splitting headache, surrounded by darkness and cold, and there were waves of strange, thick and old voices coming from the darkness, as if coming from outside the sky, 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 darkness around him 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, burly, white-haired old man, and there was a medicine vat at his feet. A black dog 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 didn't remember anything before he was nine years old, and he didn't 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 that's why I became like this."
Chen Shi thought of eavesdropping on the conversation between the woman in purple and the others, and said silently in his heart, "I am not born a useless person, I can also practice, and I can also become God's favorite and Heaven's favored son! The son of Li County Cheng of Buffalo County, Li Xiao Ding...what hatred?"
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 and boil it 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 suffered in the past few years come from this, from this noble Mr. Li Xiaoding!
"but……"
Chen Shi was quite puzzled, "The back of my head has healed, but why does grandpa still make me soak in the medicine jar every day?"
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-orange, now became green.
It was grandpa who entered the house.
Chen Shi quietly took a look 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 had seen 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 increased.
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.
Everyone and the dog realized that although grandpa was still grandpa, he was no longer the same person as before.
My grandpa was kind.
Today's grandpa doesn't 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 bugs burrowing through the pores of the skin and burrowing under the skin. , burrowed into the flesh, burrowed into the internal organs, and burrowed into the bones, making it indescribably uncomfortable.
Even though he was soaking in the water, he felt like he was in a raging fire. His whole body, from the inside out, was 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 stood up from the jar.
There was a green claw mark on the left side of his chest, and his fingers were spread apart, as if there was an invisible ghost hand holding his heart. After being tempered by water and fire in the medicine vat, the blue ghost hand mark became much lighter.
This cyan ghost hand mark has been there since Chen Shi can remember, and it has not receded 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 put on 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 won't live long. Xiao Shi is still young, He still needs someone to take care of him, so you take him to the city...I know life in the city is difficult, but after all, he is your son, and he is also your son 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 Qianli Message Talisman to contact Chen Shi's father, Chen Tang.
Chen Shi has never met his father Chen Tang.
Not once.
Maybe he had seen 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.
Not 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.
Late at night, 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, his shadow covering Chen Shi's face.
His figure sometimes leaned forward and sometimes leaned back, but he remained silent.
That biting murderous intent filled the small room again.
silent.
But repressed.
After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, the window in Chen Shi's room opened automatically with no wind and creaked. Grandpa straightened up and flew out of the window.
"Looking hungry..."
He made a murmur-like sound, and suddenly he stood up and disappeared from the courtyard.
Heiguo 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 said silently in his heart.
At this time, 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 trembled, he couldn't make a sound or breathe in pain, and 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 heart tightened. This was not the first time this happened.
He would experience similar severe pain every few days, and he would pass out from the pain several times. During his coma, he would even dream of many huge, towering and terrifying black figures in the darkness, surrounding him and stretching out towards him. Scaly palms.
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 all over his body.
He suddenly gritted his teeth, struggled to get up, stepped on the Yu step, walked like the Big Dipper, pinched the thumb and little finger of his left and right hands, inserted his right hand into his left hand, stepped and stepped in the small shabby room, silently reciting the Three Lights of Righteousness Jue.
"When the emperor is born, only gods are respected. Evils and chaos are everywhere, and there is no true god, only ghosts and chaos! Observe the way of heaven, conduct the deeds of heaven, cultivate strong righteousness, and refine the sacred body of the womb!"
He activated the technique, and bits of starlight were like fireflies in the dark night, flying from the open window, falling on 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 more 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 and no longer squeezed 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.
"The Three Lights Righteousness Technique can suppress pain. If this technique can attract moonlight and sunlight and cultivate the sun and moon's righteousness, perhaps there will be no pain like ghost claws gripping the heart. Unfortunately, every time I activate it, I feel pain. Can’t attract the light of the sun or the moon.”
Suddenly, a thought came to the young man's mind, bringing many new doubts: "The sun is obviously the eyes of the only true body in the sky, and the moon is obviously its vertical eye. Why does the sun rise, set, and the moon change? Yuan Que’s words are really weird. Is it possible? Is it possible..."
A bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind: "Could it be that there are other suns and moons? The three lights are actually collected from other moonlight and sunlight?"
He leaned out of the window and looked curiously at the moon in the sky, which was bright and full of mystery.
That was the vertical eye of the true god outside the sky.
"But if there really is such a sun and moon, why can't we see them in the sky?"
Chen Shi lay on the bed with curiosity, and many fantasies came to his mind.
In the sky, the god's eye is like the moon, monitoring all living things.
Above the forest, the inflatable head was hit by a cold light, fell heavily, and smashed into the mountain.
Not long after, a tall figure came to the side and ate the flesh and blood.
"Delicious, delicious, evil is more delicious than humans!"
