Mr. Luo, whose real na is Luo Youdao, his father was a small peddler going from street to street in his early years. From childhood to adulthood, Luo Youdao also followed his father across the country, witnessing many strange events that ordinary people couldn’t understand.
Moreover, at the age of eleven, Luo Youdao t Old Ghost, who is now the elder following him.
At that ti, Old Ghost was just a beggar, surviving by begging and eating moldy food. Luo Youdao’s father saw his pitiful state and took him in, letting him accompany Luo Youdao.
Unexpectedly, Old Ghost had an unusual personality and an extrely high talent for martial arts. At the age of seventeen, he was taken away by a passing master and didn’t return for ten years. Ever since he ca back, he has been serving Luo Youdao.
Luo Youdao trusted him imnsely and treated him as a confidant.
However, Luo Youdao had asked what happened in those ten years, but Old Ghost never told him.
What puzzled Luo Youdao even more was that Old Ghost had once ntioned the Yin Yang Talisman to him, saying it was taught by soone.
Now, hearing Ye Guichen say that he was afflicted with the Yin Yang Talisman, the first person Luo Youdao thought of was Old Ghost. He quickly shook his head vigorously: "No, impossible, absolutely impossible! He grew up with , it’s absolutely impossible!"
Ye Guichen laughed and said: "Mr. Luo, from your reaction, it seems you already have an answer?"
"Hmph, boy, you must be using so trick to make give in, right?" Luo Youdao snorted coldly, not believing Ye Guichen’s words at all: "What Yin Yang Talisman, I don’t have any such talisman. If you have proof, show that this is actually the Yin Yang Talisman?"
"Don’t believe it?" Ye Guichen saw that Luo Youdao was still in denial, sighed deeply, and squinted at Mr. Luo’s chest: "If I’m not mistaken, there should be a giant black spot looking like a ghost head on your chest, right?"
"You, how do you know?" Despite Luo Youdao’s efforts to remain calm, he still trembled all over upon hearing Ye Guichen’s words.
Luo Youdao couldn’t rember when the black spot appeared on his chest, vaguely rembered it was during his childhood, but couldn’t recall the details.
However, the black spot on his body was known only to himself, he had never ntioned it to anyone, not even the Old Ghost he trusted the most.
Now that Ye Guichen spoke of it so directly, how could he not be shocked?
"Mr. Luo, it’s actually very simple. Those afflicted by the Yin Yang Talisman will gradually develop a ghost talisman in their chest. As the ghost talisman grows, your physical condition will deteriorate." Ye Guichen explained slowly: "But, because the Yin Yang Talisman can make you lose consciousness at night, the one who casts the talisman can subtly affect you, making you believe that the ghost talisman in your chest is sothing you were born with, dispelling your doubts."
"You..." Luo Youdao’s lips trembled twice more as he tried to recall his nightti experiences. Sotis they felt like dreams, and sotis they felt real. Although there were fragnts of mory, whenever he tried to recall them, he couldn’t rember anything.
Previously, Luo Youdao thought he was just having hallucinations because of his old age, but now, hearing Ye Guichen’s explanation, he believed most of it.
"Who exactly are you?" Luo Youdao took a deep breath, stared at Ye Guichen: "Since you can associate with Corpse Chasers and now noticed the anomaly on my body with a glance, you must know who cast the Yin Yang Talisman on ?"
"Haha, you are indeed very suspicious!" Ye Guichen laughed: "This kind of Yin Yang Talisman is not sothing that can be done overnight. It takes at least forty-nine days to truly cast it on a person. Unless it’s soone very close to you, it’s impossible to achieve."
"Hmm?" Luo Youdao frowned.
Ye Guichen continued: "If I’m right, Mr. Luo, you usually enjoy drinking tea, right? Hehe, this Yin Yang Talisman can be dissolved in tea, adjusting the aroma of the leaves, making the tea taste better. When you drink this tea for forty-nine days, the Yin Yang Talisman will fully integrate into your body, using it as a vessel. If the caster wishes, after forty-nine days, you will beco their puppet, losing your own consciousness, at their rcy."
"Of course, under this condition, your body might not show any signs of death, but you have actually beco a corpse, just a walking dead." Ye Guichen paused and continued: "Now, there are only two or three days left until the forty-nine days are up."
Luo Youdao could no longer stay seated.
Everything was accurate!
Ye Guichen was completely correct.
He had a habit of drinking tea, and strangely enough, recently he only wanted to drink the tea brewed by Old Ghost. Tea brewed by others did not have the sa distinct aroma as that brewed by Old Ghost.
"Alright, if what you said is true, I will willingly give you 51% of the Luo Family’s assets." In the face of life, Luo Youdao did not hesitate.
Ye Guichen’s skills were far beyond his imagination.
Luo Youdao cherished his life very much. Although he was already over eighty, he believed he could live another ten or twenty years without any problem.
Before truly dying of natural causes, Luo Youdao did not want to die.
Even if all his heirs were dead, he didn’t want to die.
Ye Guichen rely smiled without saying much.
Luo Youdao was a smart man, knowing what choice to make.
Moreover, from his previous attitude toward the Qin Family, Ye Guichen could see Luo Youdao’s true nature, he was an extrely selfish person.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just called for the killer but didn’t act when Luo Baicheng died.
He knew that even if he avenged, it would be a Pyrrhic victory. Since Luo Baicheng was already dead, then so be it.
Similarly, Luo Youdao hadn’t expected Ye Guichen to co to him in person, but Ye Guichen ca, making Luo Youdao feel like he had grasped a great opportunity. However, he didn’t expect Ye Guichen’s martial arts to be so strong that even Old Ghost couldn’t handle it.
What unsettled Luo Youdao even more was that, according to Ye Guichen, the Old Ghost he trusted most was actually planning to harm him.
Seeing Ye Guichen remain silent, Luo Youdao hesitated for a mont, then called out: "Old Ghost, co in."
The door opened.
Old Ghost stepped in, glanced at Ye Guichen, and approached Luo Youdao: "Master, what are your orders?"
Luo Youdao suddenly raised his head, his gaze as sharp as a knife staring at Old Ghost: "If I ordered you to die, what would you do?"
Old Ghost was startled, a flash of struggle crossed his eyes, then he calmly said: "Then I will die."
"Good!" Luo Youdao slapped the table and pressed a button on his dragon-head cane, causing the dragon head to slowly open and spit out a black pill the size of a soybean.
Luo Youdao caught the pill and handed it to Old Ghost: "Swallow it."
