Chapter 303
When I heard the word "spiritual corpse", my whole body trembled, because this spiritual corpse was one of the thirteen corpses that my adoptive father mentioned!

I hurriedly asked: "Second Uncle Lei, this spirit corpse is what you just said..."

"Yes, it just happened to be a coincidence, so I said in advance that through this competition, we can mobilize the resources of Lei Zihao to help you find the spirit corpse." Second Master Lei said, but the strange thing is that this is obviously a good thing, But both his and Lei Xiaoman's expressions were a bit strange.

"Second Uncle Lei, what's wrong with this spirit corpse?" I asked suspiciously, and Second Master Lei sighed, and said to me, "Oh, it's time to tell you the origin of the 'root' of my body, In fact, this matter is not only related to the spirit corpse, but also has a lot to do with your father Zhao Banxian..."

"Tell me what's going on?" I asked quickly.

Second Master Lei nodded, but his face became more and more complicated. He said to me: "Changsheng, the reason why I kept this matter from you is because I was afraid that if I told you the truth, you would hate me..."

"Hate you? You are so kind to me, how can I hate you?" I said doubtfully.

"Well, maybe after you hear about this incident, your mind will change. This incident happened a year before your father and I entered the Murong Chui Mausoleum. At that time, your father had divination a tomb dating back to ancient times. Tianlingdibao invited me, a treasurer, to come to the deep mountains and old forests next to the ancient village, and finally we found the treasure, it is a Shangbao that has transformed into a human form!"

"Is it a spirit corpse?" I asked.

"Yes, even though we finally found the spirit corpse after going through all kinds of hardships back then, not only did we fail to bring it back, but we were almost killed by the monster guarding the spirit corpse. That monster was so evil that even your father didn't know about it. The origin, let alone how to deal with it, that monster has the power of change, it is very strange and unpredictable, and it also controls the power of life and death! That monster seems to want to monopolize the spirit corpse, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the spirit corpse, and cultivate into immortality ’” Second Master Lei said.

I was shocked when I heard this, and thought to myself, can I defeat the monster that even my adoptive father can't do anything about, and get the spirit corpse smoothly?

"Second Uncle Lei, what does this matter have to do with your 'root of disease'? Is it because you are cursed by this monster that you only have less than two years of life left?" I asked.

"The monster's ability is actually not a curse, but the ability to take away a person's lifespan. He took away half of my lifespan at that time..."

Hearing this, I couldn't help being surprised and said: "Take away people's life span? Isn't that the same as Bai Ruyi's ability! Why does this monster have such heaven-defying power? And what does this matter have to do with my father?" , why would I hate you?"

When I asked about this matter, Second Master Lei hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lei Xiaoman, and then said to me: "Because at the critical moment of life and death, I not only abandoned your father and ran away alone, but also betrayed your father. "

I was very surprised when I heard it. No wonder Second Master Lei always said that he was ashamed of his adoptive father. It turned out that he was referring to this matter.I really can't figure it out. In my impression, Second Master Lei has always been a very righteous person. I really don't know why he would...

Second Master Lei sighed and continued: "Maybe it was retribution later on, I was caught by that monster again, and that monster asked the two of us to make a choice, choose one to die, and the other will survive... I thought of the young Xiaoman and his wife, so I chose your father..."

"But didn't both of you survive in the end?" I asked suspiciously.

Second Master Lei sighed and shook his head, "No, I only have half my life left in the end, but your father would rather die than live!"
