C9 Test
Looking at the fluttering butterfly elder, he suddenly frowned and then burst out laughing.
"So that's how it is. Wonderful, wonderful!" With that, he waved at Li Jing, "You don't belong here, you can go back now …"
Before Li Jing could react, his body floated away like he was floating in the air. The grassland in front of him also gradually disappeared, turning back into darkness.
When Li Jing opened his eyes again, he discovered that he was already in the KTV. At this moment, Zhang Changsheng was pacing back and forth in the room, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Seeing that Li Jing had woken up, Zhang Changsheng was also extremely surprised and hurriedly ran over: "You actually came back!"
Li Jing still didn't know what had happened, so he nodded his head in a daze.
"I just met an old man. If he says I don't belong to him, then let me come back …"
Zhang Chang Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, kowtowing to the heavens three times: "God bless you! Heaven bless us! "
Later on, he found out from Zhang Changsheng that the bottle was called the Immortal-Leaving Bottle and that there was a bottle of the Immortals within it.
A thousand years ago, this bottle was filled with immortals, and now, it was filled with immortals. However, because of some mistakes during the final tribulation, his vitality was greatly damaged and his physical body had disappeared. A daoist friend, in order to prevent his soul from being cast into the underworld, temporarily kept his soul inside a bottle. And for the sake of virtue, the Celestial in the Bottle had been helping the Daoist Priest to transmute his vengeful spirit for the past thousand years.
The souls inside the bottles were all bewitched by the illusion created by the celestial being in the bottle. They stayed inside the illusion to slowly wear out the resentment. After the grievances had subsided, they would be reincarnated by the Daoist Priest.
After hearing all of this, Li Jing felt some lingering fear. If he had stayed in Wang Han's illusion at that time, he would have been done for his entire life. Luckily, someone suddenly reminded him, but who was that person?
The strong man who had been sitting at the side suddenly spoke up.
"He actually couldn't even keep the illusion of the Immortal-in-Pitcher. I think this kid is a bit lucky, maybe he's the one we're looking for."
Li Jing's heart shuddered. It was only now that he remembered that these people wanted to test him to see if he was a legend or not.
He turned around to look, and sure enough, those three people were glaring at him like tigers stalking their prey.
Li Jing blinked. From the looks of it, these three didn't seem like good people. If he really wasn't the person they were looking for, how could he bear the consequences?
The woman in white seemed to have seen through Li Jing's thoughts as she walked over with a slight smile.
"Don't worry Young Master, you just need to cooperate with us for a test."
"It would be better if we passed. However, we would not harm your life."
Hearing that it wouldn't hurt his life, Li Jing was slightly relieved, but he still asked worriedly.
"Then what will happen to you guys?"
The woman in white answered, "If we can't, we can only extract your memories from it. You won't remember what happened today, that's all."
"It's that simple?" Li Jing saw that these people did not seem to be lying to him, and also realized that he was not a cultivator. Even if he remembered this matter, it would not be beneficial to him. Furthermore, if he did not agree to their request today, they would definitely not let him off easily. Thus, he nodded his head and sat on the sofa, "Let the test begin!"
Seeing Li Jing agree, the lady in white smiled, "Changsheng, take out the jade pendant."
Zhang Changsheng hurriedly took out a palm-sized, rectangular jade pendant from his bag and handed it to Li Jing.
Li Jing curiously took the jade pendant. When he held it in his hand, he immediately felt a refreshing feeling spread throughout his body.
The only incongruity was the fact that the jade pendant was covered with carvings of human faces. These faces were all ferocious and fangs, and were vividly carved.
In the middle of the jade pendant, there was a one centimeter square groove, which was surrounded by the faces of the crowd.
"This jade pendant was passed down from our ancestors. Only the blood of the legendary can fuse with it. Young master only needs to drop a drop of blood into the groove of the jade pendant."
The woman in white continued.
Li Jun nodded, although she didn't know what the legendary person meant.
But now I just want to get this over with. He then bit a finger and carefully squeezed a drop of blood into the groove.
At this moment, everyone in the room held their breath as they stared at the jade pendant. The blood dripped onto the edge of the groove and slowly circulated a few times before seeping inside and disappearing.
"It seeped in!" Li Jing shouted with both surprise and excitement.
However, when they looked up, they found that the others did not have a single trace of happiness. Instead, their expressions became more serious and they instinctively felt that something was wrong.
At that moment, the jade pendant in his hand suddenly began to shake violently. A green light continuously floated out of the pendant, turning into a green figure floating in the air. It then started to revolve around Li Jing at a fast speed.
"Ghosts!" Although he had seen many ghosts, Li Jing still couldn't help but cry out when he saw so many of them.
At this time, the green ghost that floated out from the jade pendant had already formed a dark green barrier that completely wrapped around Li Jing. The jade pendant in his hand also stopped trembling.
Li Jing looked at the ghosts in shock and shouted, "What is going on? Didn't you just say that a drop of blood is enough?!"
"We don't know either. We have only heard of this method from our ancestors. You better take care of yourself …" Zhang Changsheng's voice came through the barrier.
It seemed like he had been set up again. Li Jing felt like looking for a place to hang himself, so he cursed loudly.
"You bunch of swindlers! Even if I become a ghost, I still won't forgive you!"
At this moment, the ghosts suddenly stopped spinning and rushed towards Li Jing in unison.
Li Jing wanted to dodge, but he felt his entire body becoming numb.
The ghosts kept passing through Li Jing's body, and every single one of them felt a heart-wrenching pain as they passed through Li Jing.
Gradually, Li Jing's consciousness began to blur. He felt himself becoming lighter as his body slowly floated into the air.
He was getting closer and closer to the ceiling. This was not the first time he felt this way, and he knew that this was the first time his soul floated out of his body.
"Am I going to die …" Li Jing looked unhappily at his body, which was sitting on the sofa.
By this time, the ghosts had stopped moving through Li Jing's body and were heading towards his soul.
But the difference was that Li Jing did not feel the tearing pain this time. Instead, every single soul that passed through gave him a warm feeling to his entire body.
The green ghosts emitted a golden light after passing through his soul, and every one of their originally fierce faces revealed a smile, appearing extremely contented. These golden ghosts floated straight up, passing through the ceiling and disappearing without a trace.
In about the time it took for an incense stick to burn, all of the ghosts in the room had disappeared.
Li Jing opened his eyes and found himself standing on top of a cliff. Not far away, there was a white-haired old man standing on the edge of the cliff with his back facing him.
Li Jing shook his head vigorously. He remembered that he was still in the KTV carrying out that damnable test. Why did he suddenly appear here?
Could it be a dream?
Li Jing hurriedly pinched himself and couldn't help but grin. He could clearly feel the pain coming from his thigh.
Was it another ghost? After experiencing the ghost girl's incident, Li Jing couldn't help but start thinking about this side.
This time, Li Jing did not run. He knew that if it was a ghost, even if he ran, he would have nowhere to go.
In the blink of an eye, he had carefully sized up the old man in front of him. The old man in front of him had a head full of white hair and a golden hairpin.
Wearing a black-edged, black-and-white robe, he stood tall and straight with his hands behind his back. Just by looking at his back, one could tell that this old man had an extraordinary temperament.
The old man suddenly turned around and smiled, "I hope you've been well."
The instant Li Jing saw the old man's face, he couldn't help but be stunned. This old man's appearance was actually extremely similar to his own.
However, the old man's hair had already turned white, and his face was covered with wrinkles.
"You know me?" Li Jing looked at the old man in shock.
The old man smiled and said, "This old one was just saving your life in the bottle back then. How did you forget so quickly?"
Immortals in bottles!
Only now did Li Jing realize that the voice that reminded him of the illusion was very similar to the voice of the old man.
He could not help but ask in surprise, "You were the one who saved me? Who the hell are you? Why did you save me? "
The old man leisurely said, "I am you, and you are me."
"You are me, I am you!" Li Jing was even more confused by the old man's words.
The old man stroked his beard. "This matter is new to you. Let this old man explain it to you slowly."
