Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 243 A Drag!

After plundering all the things left by the Ghost Sect’s apprentices, Gao Ge and the others go back.

When he sees that Master Wen is so happy with holding the book, Gao Ge asks, “Aren’t you afraid of death?”

“Yes!” Master Wen says, “But I am more afraid that I still make no progress next time when I see my master.”

Gao Ge is a bit confused.

Master Wen turns around to look at Gao Ge, saying with laughter, “I always feel that my master must be rather disappointed at me last time when his remaining image appeared from his compass. My master is a capable man, right? Not only I but also you think in this way. However, I am only a dabbler.”

Speaking of this, Master Wen hedges and continues saying, “Last time when we were in Suzhou, you must have learnt that my master was not close to the Ghost Sect and that he might hold a grudge against it. If the Ghost Sect people know about that as his apprentice, I am so incompetent, my master must be laughed at by others in the netherworld.”

Gao Ge nods his head subconsciously.

He just thinks that what Master Wen said does make sense.

Master Wen raises his head to look at the curtain of night.

There are no stars or the moon.

“My master was always an arrogant man. Although he never said anything about his past, I can feel it. When he taught me skills, I always couldn’t help thinking of his past stories. Although a hero is silent about his past glories, I was quite interested in that. However, no matter how I asked him, he wouldn’t tell me anything. All I know is that he used to belong to the Ghost Sect. That’s all.” Master Wen says, “Therefore, I feel that I must elevate my capability somehow. In this way, I can be more confident before my master. Should I get to meet my master again, I can tell him that I don’t disgrace him!”

Gao Ge laughs.

He doesn’t dare to believe that Master Wen should say that.

“As you join the Dragon Court, you won’t be as free as imagined.” Gao Ge says.

“It’s alright! I am not as young as you are.” Master Wen grins and says, “By the way, do you think you are absolutely free? Look around you. How many people are free? We must listen to our parents when we are young; when we are at school, we must listen to the teachers; when we graduate, we must start working; after we are finally retired, we must help take care of our children. You may as well raise your head to look at the sky and think whether there are strings linked between God and the living people in the world. Are they really free?”

After making a sigh, Master Wen says emotionally, “Actually, everyone lives in a cage and the size of the cage varies from person to person. However, we cannot see or touch it. Till the end of life, we may can’t help cursing–Crap! Can’t I get to decide when I die?”

After saying that, Master Wen bursts into laughter.

...

Gao Ge doesn’t know how to reply to Master Wen.

Then he brings the topic to a more sophisticated level.

Gao Ge thinks he is not self-conscious enough so he doesn’t talk further with him.

After they return to the store, Chen Long puts Chen Wangshi back to sleep in the room.

With the power of stars transferred to her body, the little girl looks in a good condition. She must be alright.

Moreover, Master Wen is half an expert in this aspect. Hence, he doesn’t find anything wrong with it.

Sitting in the store, Chen Long reaches out his hand to wave at Gao Ge.

Gao Ge is a bit surprised and gives the cigarette in his pocket to him after coming to his senses.

Chen Long pulls out a cigarette and lights it up with the plastic lighter in his pocket. He puffs the cigarette. The smoke takes a roll in his lung and then goes out from his mouth, which rotates in the air like the sea of clouds.

Gao Ge and Master Wen also each light up a cigarette. Qin Yuming looks very disgruntled, “Can you not smoke here? We’ve got a kid here.”

“I will close the door, okay?” Chen Long hastens to look backwards and gets increasingly confused.

“Who is not a kid?” Qin Yuming becomes more disgruntled.

They are looking down upon her!

Chen Long is a bit speechless.

Gao Ge wipes his face.

He can’t understand how Qin Yuming becomes the leader of the Team Three in the Dragon Court branch in light of her intelligence.

Is it too rash a decision?

After being silent for a while, Chen Long flicks the cigarette ash and looks at Gao Ge carefully, “Gao Ge, I want to ask you for a favor.”

Gao Ge looks at Qin Yuming and she is at a loss.

Obviously, Qin Yuming doesn’t know what Chen Long wants to say either.

“Chen Long, just say it.” Gao Ge says smilingly.

Chen Long looks entangled and hesitant.

Before saying anything, he turns around to look at the room behind him for a few times.

It is like he is about to make a significant decision.

“When Chen Wangshi was just born, her mother died. Then something messy happened.” Chen Long finally speaks.

Gao Ge is instantly spirited to hear that.

He really wonders what is hidden in Chen Wangshi’s body.

Master Wen mentioned that before but it seemed that he didn’t know it well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t go to ask Chen Long.

Doesn’t it feel good to fully understand everything?

Chen Long continues saying, “Inside Chen Wangshi’s body, there is a Rakshasa in slumber.

“Rakshasa?” Gao Ge is surprised.

“Yes. It’s a kind of evil ghost.” Chen Long says.

It is hard for Qin Yuming to understand, “Why is that?”

Chen Long looks at her and shakes his head, saying, “I don’t know much. We may need to ask the Rakshasa. Rakshasa belongs to the category of Ghost Emperor, which can devour evil ghosts, slaughter ghost cops and frighten the nether world. It is really powerful. I thought it would keep sleeping all the time but to my surprise, it woke up today. No one can predict what will happen in the future. Moreover, since Rakshasa has woken up, it will awake again later. Once it comes to itself, it is out of control.”

Speaking of that, Chen Long stops to stare at Gao Ge.

Gao Ge instantly has a bad feeling.

“Does it matter to me?”

“Yes.” Chen Long nods his head seriously, saying, “Your energy can pacify Rakshasa.”

Gao Ge is furious.

Although Chen Long hasn’t finished talking, Gao Ge has known what he means.

“We need to bring the kid back to the Dragon Court.” Qin Yuming says rationally, “I don’t know much about the Rakshasa, but it is apparently unsafe to leave her with Chen Long.”

“Can’t we just kill the Rakshasa?” Gao Ge asks.

“First of all, we are no match for the Rakshasa. Secondly, as long as the Rakshasa doesn’t want to show itself, no one can make it appear, unless we are capable enough to kill it without hurting Chen Wangshi.” Chen Long says calmly.

Gao Ge thinks of the little chubby girl and feels headache.

Obviously, he has to take this drag now?
