The metaphysicist, he only believes in science

Chapter 403 Interrogation of the Rat King
The nine white snow fox tails are raised high, like nine sharp arrows that automatically extend. In this dark night, they are so gorgeous and beautiful, but in the eyes of the immortals, they are like seaweed stretching in all directions in the deep sea, with teeth and claws, hiding murderous intent. .

Frightened by Bai Jie's momentum, Hu Qi said sharply: "Huang Wu Huang Qi, do you hear that? Let's join forces and kill her first."

Huang Wu said loudly: "Okay!"

Huang Qi slapped him in the face: "What's good? You're a stick. Master, don't just watch the fun, at least you can provide us with justice."

Lin Yi: "..."

The immortals reacted and came to fawn over Lin Yi one after another.

Bai Jie pulled Lin Yi's arm with her claws: "Master, I am willing to sign a new master-servant contract with you and serve you as my master for the rest of my life."

Not to be outdone, Hu Qi grabbed Lin Yi's other arm: "Master, I can't beat her alone, but Hu Ba and I are joined together and I promise to beat her to death."

Bai Jie continued to tease Lin Yi: "Master, once I have gone through the tribulation, I can inherit the bloodline of the nine-tailed ancient spirit beast. Not only is my nine-tailed fox the most noble ancient spirit beast, but I also have high magic power. Not only do I have my own Territory, and its own divine position. It’s such an honor to have an ancient spiritual beast as your spiritual pet.”

Hu Qi became anxious and said loudly: "Master, don't listen to her nonsense. Even if she inherits the bloodline of a spiritual beast, she has to report to the fairy world. Master, you are going to be a ghost in the future. How can you get to the fairy world if you stay in the underworld? ? The person named Bai is trying to draw a cake for you."

Bai Jie said disdainfully: "It seems that after you attain enlightenment, you won't ascend to the fairy world."

"I……"

Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop arguing. Since you all respect me as your master, then just listen to me."

After careful consideration and consideration, Lin Yi decided to give the demon pill to Bai Jie. He also had his own selfish motives.Because the fighting power of the nine-tailed fox is indeed higher than that of ordinary Humen. In addition, it is easier for Bai Jie to achieve enlightenment and ascend than Humen. After all, she is a nine-tailed fox, an ancient spiritual beast, and her innate conditions are much higher than those of Humen.

Of course, the conditions are also harsh.

"Not only do I want you to be loyal to me forever, but you also have to sign a soul contract with me."

Hu Qi, who was indignant, was shocked, but quickly calmed down.

Bai Jie's heart skipped a beat and she was no longer willing.

Because the soul contract is the most overbearing and demanding of all contracts, which is equivalent to selling your soul to the other party.

All fools know that once a soul contract is signed, your wealth, life, and soul belong to the master. If the master is dissatisfied with you, just activate the contract and you will be in agony, tortured, and even lose your soul.

An equal contract requires a lot of conscience. If the master is dissatisfied, he will not know how to terminate the contract. As long as he does not betray the master, he can rest easy.

Lin Yi stared at Bai Jie and said slowly: "Although the soul contract is a bit harsh, you and I have been together for six years. You should also know what kind of person I am. If you sign this contract, I will grant you the demon pill." , let you attain enlightenment and ascend as soon as possible, you will not lose anything."

Bai Jie was still hesitant. She had been stalking Lin Yi to sign a contract before, just to find a backer for herself.

An equal contract can be terminated through sit-down discussion.But selling one's soul for a mere demon pill doesn't seem very cost-effective.

Lin Yi didn't force her, and asked Hu Qi and Huang Wu again.

"The same goes for you. If the demon pill is given to any of you, you will have to make a new soul contract with me."

Hu Qi also fell silent.

Only Huang Wu stood up and said: "Master, I am willing to sign a soul contract with you."

"Husband!" Huang Qi looked shocked.

Huang Wu said to his wife soothingly: "Don't worry, wife, we are the first to follow the master. Don't we still know what kind of person the master is? The soul contract is the soul contract. I will not betray the master. Anyway, I am Don’t be afraid.”

"Master, I do!" Bai Jie suddenly said loudly, grabbing Lin Yi's arm with her claws, "Master, the soul contract is the soul contract."

Huang Wu quit and scolded: "Bai Jie, you damn fox, you're such a stinker, I was the one who agreed first."

Bai Jie turned to Huang Wu and said: "Brother Huang Wu, I'm sorry. I definitely want the demon pill, but I promise you that after I attain enlightenment and ascend, I will cut off one of my own tails and give it to you. I, the nine-tailed fox, A docked tail can also display seventy points of ability."

Bai Jie was bold and straightforward, and worked hard to attain enlightenment and ascend as soon as possible.

After the ascension, the nine-tailed fox's strength is naturally different from the same.It is not a loss for Huang Wu to give him a successor that can exert [-]% of his strength.

Huang Wu thought about it briefly and reluctantly agreed.

Hu Qi opened his mouth and finally acquiesced to the matter.Although she also longed to attain enlightenment as soon as possible, she was not as eager as Bai Jie. She had a family, a husband, and a backer, so it would not have much impact if she attained enlightenment earlier or later.

Bai Jie is different. She is alone in the lower world. She wants to go to the fairy world as soon as possible so that she can reunite with her tribe.

The soul contract in exchange for a demon pill with 300 years of skill is indeed not very cost-effective for Hu Qi.

Lin Yi said to Bai Jie: "I will keep the demon pill for now. When we get back, we will sign a new contract and I will give the demon pill to you."

……

"Boss, look, is the world awake?"

The crescent moon, dotted with stars, looks bright and shy, like a girl with bright eyes and white teeth, delicate and elegant.The entire Xiangfeng Mountain is shrouded in moonlight, cast under a mysterious veil.

Hei Niu led the supernatural team to guard at the foot of the mountain. They were fed by the night wind blowing from the mountain. Mosquitoes also came to bite. In the quiet night, the sound of slaps touching skin could be heard from time to time.

The most powerful ghost in the underworld, who is as famous as Mr. Cao, is in the mountains to deal with the Rat King when he wakes up. He is warned not to interfere. The supernatural team is not allowed to act without authorization and disturb the good deeds of ghosts and gods.But their strong curiosity still inspired them to go to Xiangfeng Mountain.

They also want to see the demeanor of the human being who is awake and takes care of the Rat King, and they also want to see what the human being is awake looks like.

Waiting until the moon moved westward, the sharp monkey saw the fast-flying black cloud in the sky.

Taking a closer look, he was wearing a black hat, a black robe, and a dark black wild goose cloak on his shoulders. The black cloak flew straight, and you could still hear the sound of the hunting wind blown by the mountain wind, like a waving flag. .

Everyone looked up one after another. Although they were far apart and could not see clearly, the appearance of sobriety in the human world was not a secret in the world of Yin and Yang.

Mingqing shouted: "Sure enough, the world is awake."

Alas, Lin Yi is really too low-key.

Lin Yi lowered his head slightly and saw Hei Niu and others, but he ignored them.He flew away directly with the Rat King's soul.

……

Lao Cao was already waiting at Lin Yi's villa. When he saw the spirit of the Rat King, his eyes lit up, greedy and jealous.

"This kind of great immortal who has done all kinds of bad things will be richly rewarded in the underworld. I guess he can exchange it for another magic weapon."

Lin Yi said: "Interrogate first, and then hand it over after interrogation. How about handing it over in your name and mine?"

"Ouch, why are you so embarrassed?" Lao Cao immediately put on a flattering smile.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "This is to repay your kindness for helping me clean up the gray door for free last time."

"Hey, you kid is really capable." Lao Cao happily punched his shoulder, but Lin Yi sidestepped and warned, "Don't do anything, or you won't blame me for falling out."

"Okay, okay, I won't move my hands or feet." Lao Cao was in a good mood and stopped arguing with him.

As expected, the Rat King was timid and useless. Under Lao Cao's punches and kicks, he quickly poured the beans into the bamboo tube and vomited them all.As expected, he refined the Yuan Wang Pearl, but refining the Yuan Wang Pearl could only achieve his status as the Rat King. His cultivation remained at the same level.In order to enhance his cultivation, he indeed did a lot of immoral things.For example, making deals with humans, taking advantage of their greed and selfish desires, and coaxing them into selling their souls, while he satisfies the other person's selfish desires.

Tian Jing's soul was sold to the Rat King to help Tian Jing prosper by stealing other people's luck, but the condition was that Tian Jing had to sell his soul to him.

Lin Yi asked curiously: "Why didn't Tian Jing give his soul to you early?"

The Mouse King replied: "Because the more bad things Tian Jing does, the more sins he accumulates. The more sinful the soul, the more tonic it is to me."

Lao Cao beat him again and asked: "You already have the Yuan Wang Pearl, and you are already the unique king in the Gray Sect, with a transcendent status. As long as you stick to the right path, it is not impossible to achieve enlightenment and ascend, why do you still need it?" Going the wrong way?"

The Rat King shed tears in grievance: "Do you think I don't want to? I am a rat. Rats not only annoy humans, but are also bullied by all kinds of natural enemies. We are already humble enough. We have been hiding in dark and damp burrows for many years. Not only do we have to To prevent harm from humans, we must also protect ourselves from bullying by our own kind. Even so, fate still refuses to let us go. My species either died from cruel hunting by humans, died from drugs, or became a meal for various natural enemies. In the entire natural world, we, the Gray Sect, are the worst off. We have to fight against God, humans, and the entire natural world. Even if I am the rat king, I will inevitably be bullied by various creatures in nature. I can only become stronger. But Cultivation is really long and painful, and I also want to take the right path, but the right path is too difficult."

Hearing this, Lin Yi felt a little guilty.

But Lao Cao crossed his legs and sneered: "If I'm to blame, it's because you are so good at reproducing. You have the entire underground world under your control, and you even cause destruction everywhere. Can humans let you go?"

Lin Yi retracted his guilt and asked coldly: "When did you take the wrong path?"

The Rat King turned his face sideways, put away his tears, and said: "Forty years ago, when I was practicing in Changyun Mountain, I met two people by chance. One was dressed like a rich man, and the other was as ragged as a beggar. From their conversation, I learned You know, this rich man probably stole the beggar’s luck and became a rich man. The rich man even proudly said to the beggar: Why has your family suddenly declined in the past ten years? That’s because I stole your fortune. The luck of the whole family. So I became rich and you became paupers. I even showed the treasure to the beggar, which was a square bottle with a wooden stopper. I was curious, so I took the opportunity to snatch it. It's a pity that I didn't I knew how to use it, so I had to go find that person again. I was already the Rat King at that time, and I led my brothers to his home. Under my threat, the person said that this bottle was called the Luck-Taking Bottle, and asked him to take it after he fell asleep. Putting the luck-taking bottle at the opponent's nostrils will naturally take away that person's luck. Then, on the occasion of the full moon, at midnight, hold the luck bottle up to the moon and aim it at your own nostrils, and all the luck inside will be captured. Absorb. After absorbing other people's luck, you can have smooth sailing and be invincible."

The Rat King paused and then said: "The Luck Bottle is indeed a good thing, but unfortunately it is of no use to me. But I can definitely use it to make deals with humans."

Then, the Rat King chose Tian Jing and exchanged his soul for a prosperous career in the rest of his life. Tian Jing, a mere ordinary person, had no idea what selling his soul meant, so he agreed without thinking.The Rat King also kept his promise. Every time Tian Jing's luck was about to disappear, he would come to the Rat King. The Rat King would give him the Luck Seizing Bottle and let him seize other people's luck. After success, he would return the bottle to him. he.But every time he looks for the Rat King, the Rat King will take away the souls of his blood relatives.

Lin Yi quickly asked: "Tian Jing's blood relative? Are they his children?"

The Rat King replied: "Yes, after Tian Jing became famous, he had many mistresses and gave birth to many children for him. Most of them died in infancy. Most of the souls of these children who died in infancy were given to me to eat." Otherwise, his cultivation would not be complete. Why won't it grow so fast?

Lin Yi took a breath and cursed: "You act so viciously, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"

The Rat King sneered: "Even if I take the right path, I will still experience heavenly tribulations. As far as I know, for thousands of years, there have been tens of thousands of great immortals who have experienced tribulations, but only a handful have been able to successfully endure the tribulations, and many of them have followed the right path. Humph, anyway, if you follow the right path, you will die, and if you follow the evil path, you will die, so why not just follow the evil path? You will inevitably die anyway!"

This time it was Lin Yi's turn to be speechless.

But Lin Yi still asked the doubts in his heart.

"If Tian Jing gave birth to so many illegitimate children just to honor you. But he also has two sons, then why don't you eat their souls?"

The Rat King replied: "You are talking about Tianyuan and Tianxiang, right? Mainly because I later learned that the more vicious the soul, the more my power can be increased. And the human lifespan can also be a great tonic for me. So I Tell Tian Jing that if you want your dreams to come true, you can use your lifespan to exchange for them. So, I gave Tian Jing my special treasure of the rat tribe. As long as I blow the horn, I can receive the message. Hehe, Tian Jing is big enough anyway He is so evil. I was planning to devour his soul, but I found that Tian Jing disappeared at some point. I used all the strength of the rat clan, but I couldn't find him. I thought he didn't want to make a deal with me, until His son Tian Xiang suddenly contacted me and said he was willing to trade 30 years of life for a few human lives, and I agreed without thinking."

Speaking of this, the Rat King looked full of resentment: "Then, I let this father and son be tricked. Not only was I targeted by humans, but also by the underworld. That night, I suffered heavy losses. The entire elite of the rat clan , more than half of the casualties. Although with the blessing of the Yuan Wangzhu, no rat in the clan dared to question me, I still felt bad in my heart. I secretly swore that I would cut Tian Jing and his son into thousands of pieces to vent the hatred in my heart. "
