Chapter 182 - Because you're scared, Chi You

Ge Wuchen noticed that his master was always looking at his mobile phone, 24 hours a day, and as each day passed, his master's expression on his mobile phone became more and more gloomy, which made Ge Wuchen afraid to approach his master.

Chi You didn't want to seem pushy and waited patiently for Jiang Luo's call.

In a matter of days, his emotions went from swimming to a black cloud. When it finally became unbearable, he dialed Jiang Luo's number with an expressionless face.

The phone was quickly answered, but it was another man's voice, "Hello?"

Chi You abruptly squeezed the phone so tightly that it shattered into crumbs in his hand.

A suffocating silence.

The evil spirit's eyes were gloomy as he got up violently and headed out.

......

Today is Jiang Luo's seventh day in Tian Shifu. After eating his breakfast, Jiang Luo folds a seventh flower in a paper towel and throws it into a vase, admires it for a while and leans back in bed to read.

Feng Li did not allow him to go out or talk to anyone else, but he was allowed to read books. Jiang Luo asked for a lot of books and wanted to see if he could find any records of celestial masters or predestined people in Tian Shifu's books.

When I looked at it that way, I saw a few fireworks suddenly going off outside the window in the evening. Jiang Luo looked out and saw two large and three small fireworks.

He came to life at once.

This is the code word that Jiang Luo and Wen Renlian have agreed to use in advance to alert Jiang Luo if Chi You is coming for him.

Jiang Luo threw the book away with a smile on his face, sat up abruptly from his bed and took three or two steps to the window. Outside, Tian Shifu's disciples were hurrying towards the main entrance.

The main entrance was dazzling with fire, as if there was a fire.

There was indeed a fire.

The outer courtyard was thick with smoke and the disciples of Tian Shifu were confused. I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden there were a lot of people at the main gate today, barging into Tian Shifu with flintlocks and tazers.

Someone else took petrol and threw it on the door, and when the fire engine was thrown, the gate was already burning. The Tian Shifu is a traditional wooden building, which burns down in one go, and the front yard was already in a mess.

Shen Ruma and the others were busy, but they couldn't stop the frantic crowd that was rushing inside. His face was grim, "Did you call the police?"

"The phone won't go out," Wang Santan said, his brain sweating with anxiety, "don't you think it's strange? Although Tian Shifu's spell is mainly for evil spirits, it also works on people, but these ordinary people are not in the spell."

Shen Ruma, smelling of burning, looked at the mess in front of him, his forehead jutting out. When he saw Zhou Wudu running back, he asked, "Why did you come so slowly? Have you informed the gentleman?"

"I've been informed. I had to beg for a long time before I could get one of his men to go and tell our master that he would surely come if he held on a little longer! "

Wang Santan looked relieved, but when he saw that Shen Ruma did not look happy at all, he became nervous again, "Brother, will it be all right when the gentleman arrives? Why do you look like that?"

"Look at these people, they're as irrational as they come," Shen Ruma said, pointing to the people who had climbed onto the roof and were smashing houses and setting fires under the roots of trees. Tian Shifu was disgraced. The people of Tian Shifu are afraid of the fact that they are human beings and dare not hit them hard, but they have no scruples, they can't even call the police, this is obviously a premeditated thing. And ......"

He looked up at the sky, "Did you see that?"

Wang Santan and Zhou Wudu looked up and stared for a moment before they drew in a breath of cold air, "Yin Qi!"

The aura twisted in the darkness of the night, enveloping almost the entirety of Tian Shifu. If Shen Ruma hadn't warned them, they would never have discovered it.

"Yes, Yin Qi, or such a strong Yin Qi," Shen Ruma laughed bitterly twice and pulled out a cigarette, "something is not good, something must be manipulating these people from behind. Before the gentleman arrives, find a place to settle Tian Shifu's disciples down and tell them not to fight hard. It's just a matter of dropping something and destroying the environment. Tian Shifu doesn't need this kind of money, just as long as people are okay."

Wang Santan said reluctantly, "Brother, are we going to let them do this? This is a disgrace to Tian Shifu!"

"Don't worry," Shen Ruma said, "the people behind this haven't appeared yet, so let's wait and see what they want. Whoever wants to step on Tian Shifu's face will have to kowtow and make amends."

Zhou Wudu and Wang Santan nodded, and Shen Ruma suddenly remembered Jiang Luo, "Oh no, my little brother is still locked up in his room! I'll go and find him, you guys look after the others."

As soon as Jiang Luo saw the scene outside the window, he knew that Chi You was going to make a big scene this time. He didn't hesitate, but he used Yin Hu to bang open the door and ran downstairs.

In these seven days Jiang Luo's feet had almost healed enough for him to run sharply into the living room, find what he needed and put it in a bag, carry it and run out.

There was chaos outside and Jiang Luo took advantage of the fire and ran all the way to the confinement cell.

This time, he managed to meet the woman who had been locked underground. It is still somewhat inaccurate to be called a woman; one should call her an old man.

Compared to Feng Li's appearance in the interior, this woman is much older and frailer, in her 50s or 60s. She has passed out and does not even stir when Jiang Luo enters.

Jiang Luo carefully lifted her hair and a wrinkled and disfigured face appeared in front of Jiang Luo's eyes.

In her face, Feng Li can be seen in a vague way.

The old man had a weak pulse and a strong stench. Jiang Luo sets up an illusionary formation on the ground as he tries to see what past the old man is hiding.

Placing a mirror in the middle of the formation, Jiang Luo snapped his fingers loudly at the old man's ear.

The old woman opened her eyes tremulously, her lowered head right into the mirror in the formation, her cloudy eyes gradually losing focus.

......

Zhang Nan met her nemesis once before she fell in love with him at first sight.

But the Fatekeeper was a different person, and he was not involved in love, so Zhang Nan tried many ways to get close to him. Unwilling to give up, she is determined to drug him.

For this drugging, she has used many tricks and toned her body to the best of her ability, trying to marry her son in one shot. The Fatalist, who rarely touches the world, succeeds in being counted on by Zhang Nan, but when Zhang Nan proudly intends to threaten the Fatalist into marrying her, she is promptly imprisoned by her own elders.

Zhang Nan was going crazy, she thought her family would only lock her up for a while at most, but she never expected to be locked up until she gave birth to her son.

The day her brother came to take her son away, Zhang Nan, living as a human being, grabbed her hair and broke down, "Let go of me, this is my son with the Fatalist, I am the Fatalist's woman, who are you to imprison me!"

"The Fatal Man has never had a woman, I'm his first woman, and when I get out, I'm going to make you all look good!"

The soon-to-be next Master of Heaven's brother looked at her with a complicated face, "Do you know how big a mistake you've made?"

Zhang Nan does not know.

"Just stay here," the brother turned to leave, "at least this way, you'll survive."

......

The old man's voice was hoarse as he struggled violently, "Let me out, let me out, I am the woman of the predestined man ...... no, don't kill me, I was wrong, I was wrong ...... I shouldn't have drugged the predestined man ......"

Jiang Luo was shaken to stone by these words.

He slowed down for a long time, unable to believe it, " Feng Li is actually the son of a predestined person?!"

The Fatal Man has a child?

Jiang Luo only knew that Feng Li and the Predestined were not on good terms, but he never thought that Feng Li and the Predestined would be father and son.

This is so shocking that Jiang Luo took a long time to slow down and couldn't help but look at the old man again and again, "...... The metaphysical world is really messy enough."

He knocked the old man unconscious with a hand slash, collected the contents on the floor and left the confinement cell satisfied with this amazing secret.

In Tian Shifu, there is even more chaos, and the wind blows with the smell of burning. The little golden mouse, which Jiang Luo had sent out to investigate, came back and "squeaked" in Jiang Luo's hand.

" Chi You came in." Jiang Luo's eyes flashed with laughter.

He put away the mice, looked around and chose the highest floor in Tian Shifu. Jiang Luo climbed to the top of the building and looked down at the messy Tian Shifu.

Less than twenty minutes have actually passed since the commotion began, but there are fires and collapses everywhere, and the damage to Tian Shifu is particularly severe.

There is something surprisingly romantic about these fires flying with sparks in the darkness of the night.

Jiang Luo sat on the floor and tied his left foot into a big bun with gauze and red salve from the medical kit. He looks at his foot with satisfaction, probably thinking it was broken if he didn't know.

He expected to be found by Chi You within a minute, but had only just counted twenty seconds when an extra person appeared on the rooftop.

Chi You stood coldly on the edge of the rooftop, looking down at him.

When he saw Jiang Luo's wrapped up feet, his body's aura sank, abruptly eerie.

Jiang Luo looked at him with feigned surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Chi You took a step towards Jiang Luo with an expressionless face, "What, I can't come?"

Yin Hu fiercely stepped in front of Chi You, who stopped dead in his tracks and looked straight at Jiang Luo.

The eyes are horrible, like a beast that will go mad in the next moment.

Jiang Luo reluctantly stands up and jumps on one foot towards the edge of the back rooftop, sitting on the low wall at the edge. He looks warily at Chi You, but seems to accidentally touch his foot and suddenly sucks in a cold breath.

Chi You's heart suddenly rose with hostility and anger swept through him, his voice suppressed, "Come here."

Jiang Luo declined, "No."

Chi You took a sullen step forward and Yin Hu slammed into him, but Chi You stopped him with his palm. Where his hand touches Yin Hu, a corrosive fume of sulphuric acid emits, which in a flash scorches Chi You's hand to the bone.

But Chi You's expression didn't change at all, he kept looking at Jiang Luo, a darkness rippling in those dark eyes.

Jiang Luo's heart palpitated and he didn't dare to look at Chi You. He tilted his head and glanced down, easing his emotions, "This third floor is still quite high, if I fall headfirst, the third floor will also kill me, right?"

He paused when he finished, and Yu Guang glanced over at Chi You again. Chi You was still staring at him with a deadly stare.

Jiang Luo coughed up his throat and grasped the low wall under his buttocks with his fingers, stepped out with his right foot and sat cross-legged on the low wall, " Chi You, do you want me to die?"

The evil spirit had a terrible expression, "You will not die."

"Why do you say that?" Jiang Luo retorted seriously, "I am a human being, not an evil spirit like you, nor a living dead person like Teng Bi. I will live, grow old, get sick and die, with a good life expectancy of sixty years or so, and a bad life expectancy of maybe a minute. Of course I will die if I jump off a building, I will bleed, and maybe my brains will bleed out. If you want to say that I will become a ghost when I die, then you are wrong. Chi You, not everyone can become a spiteful ghost when they die, let alone a ghost like you who has memories and reason even after death. You can go from being a ghost to something other than a human ghost, but I can't. Even the gods can't assert that no one will die, so why can you?"

The evil spirit's face became even more ugly.

"You asked me who I was before, so you know I'm not the original 'Jiang Luo'," Jiang Luo, "Then do you think my soul will disappear into this world after I die? With all these unstable factors in front of me, the one about becoming a ghost after death is even less certain."

"I told you, you won't die." The evil spirit laughed and pushed Yin Hu away, striding towards Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo held out his hand, gesturing for him to stop, "If you take another step forward, I'll jump. Don't think you can stop me, the Yin Yang Ring can stop you. As long as I can stop you, even for a few seconds, I'm on the ground."

Chi You knows that Jiang Luo is telling lies.

He knows Jiang Luo as well as he knows his own half, and Jiang Luo has a paranoid obsession with living. His desire to live is so strong that he dares to set up Chi You to risk his interest at the outset, and would never jump to his death.

He was acting to deceive him, but even though he knew Jiang Luo was lying to him, Chi You stopped.

His leather shoes stepped over the wretchedness of Tian Shifu, over countless bodies and blood and pleading tears, and surprisingly stopped right in front of a small human falsehood.

The more irritable and tyrannical he became, the more intense the emotions almost made scarlet seep out of the evil spirit's eyes, and he stared at Jiang Luo as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Jiang Luo's eyes widened in disbelief when he saw him stop in place. Although he had guessed this outcome, he was still frozen in disbelief when it actually happened.

Jiang Luo withdrew his eyes, his forehead sweating, knowing that the sweat was not from nervousness or the fire, but from the sight of Chi You.

Jiang Luo cursed himself inwardly before he finally managed to speak.

"I know why you're here because I didn't contact you," he smiled, looking sideways at Chi You with a smirk that seemed to seduce, "I had actually planned to contact you, but Tian Shifu's people wouldn't let me. My master, Feng Li, he took away my phone and twisted my foot so I had to be honestly locked up in my room."

"He sometimes sneaks into my room in the middle of the night and stares at me like a pervert," Jiang Luo said softly with a wink and a sidelong glance at Chi You at the end of his eyes, "a pervert like you."

These words no doubt enraged the evil spirit even more as he said, "I will kill him."

Jiang Luo smiled like a fox, "Are you so angry now, are you so angry that you want to destroy the whole of Tian Shifu?"

Chi You did not speak.

But Jiang Luo already knew the answer from his expressionless face.

He said, "But you can't kill, and more than that, you have to stop all this commotion, hold your fire, and take me away from Tian Shifu."

Chi You has another unnamed fire burning in her heart.

It almost burned his face for a split second before it was covered up again, and the evil spirit laughed gracefully and briefly, a knife-point mockery in his smile, "What do you think you are, still ordering me around?"

Jiang Luo looked at him quietly, "If you don't listen to me, I'll jump."

"Jump," said the evil spirit coldly, "and better die fast."

Jiang Luo smiled instead, like a voluptuous ghost poking at people's hearts, "Then why did you stop in your tracks?"

The evil spirit choked, and Jiang Luo said, "Because you are afraid, Chi You."

He shook his gauze-wrapped left foot, and words sweet as love words wrapped in a lingering flavour from his mouth and went down his throat like invisible needles to his guts.

"Because you're afraid I'll get hurt, aren't you?"
