Chapter 167 Chef Luo’s Gourmet Extravagance (2-in-1)
Time goes back five minutes.
In the master bedroom boudoir, a portrait of a girl suddenly appeared on the wall.
The girl in a dress in the painting looked at Ye Zhi with a strange smile.
Then, a slender arm stretched out from the portrait and strangled Ye Zhi's throat.
"Get out of here."
The white-haired girl in the portrait is as delicate as a doll, and her voice is hoarse and unpleasant, saying:
"This is not the place you should come."
Ye Zhi's cheeks turned sickly red, and he felt dizzy due to lack of oxygen.
"Never step foot in here!"
The girl in the dress gradually loosened her grip, but the warning tone in her words became stronger.
Ye Zhi still maintained rationality in his mind and calmly put his hand on the scabbard at his waist.
Buzz!
In the originally empty scabbard, lightning suddenly appeared, revealing the handle of a tachi.
Suddenly, Ye Zhi drew out his sword and swung it with the power of thunder, slashing towards the arm holding his throat.
Bah!
The section of Bai Jing's arm showed scorch marks after the electric shock. It fell to the ground and instantly turned into black smoke and dissipated.
From the portrait, the sad cry of a girl in a dress could be heard.
The next moment.
The girl in a dress walked directly out of the portrait, the broken part of her arm condensed with black energy and quickly reshaped it, her eyes glowed with a deep blue light, and she stared at Ye Zhi with murderous intent.
Facing this strange scene, Ye Zhi held the sword horizontally, his eyes flashed slightly, and he fell into thinking.
This doesn't look like a dark-type pet.
It is more like a soul that is supposed to go to the spiritual world but lingers in the world for some reason.
In other words...this is what people often call 'ghost'.
And send the souls that should have gone to the spiritual world to the afterlife.
This is the obligation of professional trainers such as psychics.
The white-haired girl looked at Ye Zhi, who was still distracted at this time, and said coldly:
"You don't seem scared at all?"
"I once accompanied my mother to save souls." Ye Zhi said, "I have seen many humans or pets wandering around the earthly world with unresolved obsessions."
The white-haired girl sneered: "I can't tell, you still know the art of salvation. Is it chanting sutras? Or is it a practice?"
呲呲岲!!
Xueliang Taidao burst into dazzling lightning, and the electric light turned from blue to purple, reflecting Ye Zhi's stern eyes:
"With this sword in my hand."
Physical transcendence?
The white-haired girl was stunned for a moment, and her tone became a little weird: "Isn't this...not good?"
Suddenly, Ye Zhi made a slash with his sword.
The white-haired girl waved out shadows with both hands, and the shadows collided with them.
boom!
The room was suddenly filled with shadows, and not even the Blade Spirit Chidori could drive away the shadows that filled the room.
Ye Zhi fought and retreated, falling into a disadvantage.
"So you're just talking big words." The white-haired girl sneered, "You haven't even opened the third level space. No matter how you fight in person, how strong can you be?"
Ye Zhi belongs to the school that uses pet beasts to strengthen oneself and fight in person.
Compared with summoning and using pet beasts to fight, this genre is more niche and has a higher risk factor.
But so far, Ye Zhi has not revealed his talent as a trainer to the school team.
And her talent is the real reason why she specializes in this genre.
A dull atmosphere suddenly enveloped the room.
The white-haired girl looked at Ye Zhi warily.
Ye Zhi's snow-white skin was seen to be blood red, with tiny drops of blood exuding from the surface of the skin. The blood was surging, turning into a ferocious evil spirit and entangling the black-haired girl.
The white-haired girl's eyes widened in surprise.
There were two ghost horns growing out of Ye Zhi's head, and his skin was red, like a red-faced Rakshasa!
"[Ghost transformation]."
Ye Zhi had ghost horns on his head and held a sword in his hand. His whole body was filled with blood and energy, and he said coldly:
"This is my talent."
Demon transformation is a special talent passed down in Sakurajima's bloodline.
The effect is to allow the trainer to gain the physique and strength of the ghost clan, but it also has strong side effects.
[Ghost Transformation] needs to use the trainer's vitality as a medium, and the duration cannot be too long, otherwise there is a risk of losing one's mind and running out of control.
Ye Zhi has good self-control and can still remain calm even in the ghost state.
The white-haired girl looked like she had seen a ghost and was speechless:
"You, you..."
You yourself said that this is a ghost, you are more like a ghost than me!
"I will send you to the spirit world."
The figure of the white-haired girl was trembling slightly, and she heard Ye Zhi say rigorously:
"And you're already dead, so it won't hurt very much."
The white-haired girl hissed, and suddenly let out a long roar, leading the shadow to fight Ye Zhi.
Bang!
The door was pushed open.
The two distanced themselves at the same time, and the situation once again reached a stalemate.
The handsome young man hurriedly rushed in, suddenly froze and looked around.
"I said, between you two, which one is the ghost?" Luo He said.
The two women were silent, pointing at each other in unison, and said in unison:
"she!"
Luo He: "..."
Senior Sister Ye looks so strange, she looks like the ghost clan in the legend of Ukikaku.
This is the first time I have seen this white-haired girl. The key is that she looks exactly like the mistress in the portrait.
When you are in doubt, leave it to your pet to judge.
Luo He called out Xiaojiu.
Xiaojiu stared at the white-haired girl with burning eyes.
"嘤! (艹艹蹹)"
Monster, I can tell at a glance that you are not human!
The white-haired girl had seen the power of Xiao Jiu's 'Sun God Eye', and her face was ugly, so she wanted to escape into the portrait.
But Ye Zhi swung out a round of lightning, blocking the white-haired girl's retreat, and hit her back with a 'bang'.
The white-haired girl whined, taking the form of a white fox and curling up on the indoor floor.
Upon seeing this, Ye Zhi released his ghost state, his face turned pale and his body swayed slightly.
"Don't be in a hurry to finish it off yet."
Ye Zhi said softly: "Luo He, listen and see why it did this..."
Luo He glanced at Ye Zhi and was surprised that she had returned to her original appearance.
It seems that the state just now is not a curse or body snatching, but more like a special talent that strengthens oneself.
Look at the white fox curled up in front of you. It is the true form of the portrait girl and the mastermind behind the whole incident.
Luo He tried to scan the white fox with his mobile phone, but found nothing.
Ye Zhi said tiredly: "It is the Jingyue Fox, a white fox that is good at illusion and shadow moves, but strictly speaking it is no longer a pet beast, so your illustrated book cannot be scanned."
"It's not a pet beast? Then what is it?" Luo He looked at the white fox.
"Soul."
Ye Zhi said: "Souls that linger in the earthly world and do not want to go to the spiritual world to be reborn."
Luo He heard several professional words and looked puzzled:
"Earthly world? Spiritual world?"
Doesn’t it mean that there are no ghosts in this world, only dark beasts?
According to this view, after death, people and pets will still turn into undead and go to the spirit world?
"It's not written in the textbooks, but the [Three Realms] are real."
Ye Zhi paused for a moment and said: "The so-called three realms refer to the heavenly realm, the earthly realm, and the spiritual realm. The three together constitute the reincarnation of this world."
"Legend has it that after completing their missions in the earthly world, mythical beasts and sages will return to the heavenly world and avoid the suffering of reincarnation in the spiritual world."
"When ordinary people and pet animals die, they will go to the spirit world and wait for reincarnation."
Ye Zhi glanced at the white fox curled up on the ground and said softly:
"Occasionally, there will be souls that linger in the mortal world with unresolved obsessions. At this time, a psychic or other profession is needed to save them."
Luo He was thoughtful, recalling what he saw and heard at the Zao Lord Festival that day.
The spirits of Zao Lord and Qilin must have returned to the heaven after completing their mission in the earthly world.
Senior Qing likes to send people to see the snowy mountains, which is probably a metaphor for sending people to the spiritual world.
Luo He muttered:
"How were the three realms formed? Do each realm have its corresponding master?"
"Your question is too profound for me to answer." Ye Zhidao said, "But I think... the so-called masters of the three realms are probably not humans, but pet beasts that are far beyond the legends."
Luo He looked at the ceiling and imagined the mythical beasts far above the sky.
"The food in heaven may not necessarily be that good."
Luo He thought about it and said, "Otherwise, during the big sacrifice, the Kitchen Lord would not be so happy when facing the food offered to the Kitchen God."
After withdrawing his thoughts, Luo He looked at Bai Hu and said:
"So, this is a Jingyue fox that has passed away. It was supposed to go to the spirit world, but because of its unresolved obsession, it stayed in this bungalow, which led to the occurrence of supernatural events?"
Ye Zhi nodded and said: "This speculation should not be far from the truth."
"But, senior sister, how did you know the news about the Three Realms?"
Luo He felt that there were a lot of mysteries surrounding Senior Ye, so he decided to ask directly:
"Also, what happened to your state just now? Is it a talent?"
Ye Zhi raised his cold eyes and looked at Luo He. After a long while, he sighed softly:
"I know, I do need to explain."
"In short, my mother is a well-known swordsman in Sakurajima. She is often invited by the villagers to fight against ferocious beasts and drive away spirits."
"I have been influenced by her since I was a child, and I have some understanding of the Three Realms. As for the state just now..."
Ye Zhidao: "That's my talent, called [Ghost Transformation]. It can be regarded as a secret technique to gain power by changing the appearance, but it is very risky."
"Because this matter is very complicated to explain...I don't plan to reveal my talent to Captain Miao and the others for the time being."
Ye Zhi glanced at Luo He, lowered his head, and whispered:
"So, please keep it secret for me for a while. When I figure out how to explain it, I will make it clear to them... Please."
Senior sister, you don’t want Captain Miao and the others to know about this, right?
Luo He coughed lightly and said, "No problem...but, what are we going to do with this white fox?"
"Save it for him," Ye Zhi said.
"Will you be saved?" Luo He asked.
Ye Zhi silently picked up the scabbard, looked at Luo He, and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Physical transcendence is also transcendence.
Luo He was in a subtle mood, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to be able to transcend.
By sending off the Zao Lord, wouldn’t I be sending the Lord Zao back to heaven?
Gourmet super method?
Luo He's eyes flickered...it seemed possible.
"Let's first listen to what this white fox has to say."
Luo He said: "I'm still curious as to why it insists on staying in this bungalow."
Ye Zhi looked at the intimate portrait of the girl in a dress and the pet white fox, his eyes flickered, and he nodded slightly.
Not long after, White Fox woke up and saw Luo He and Ye Zhi, his eyes alert.
Luo He first fed Snow Lotus Seeds to Jingyue Fox, and there was a fire-tailed golden-eyed beast watching eagerly next to him.
Under this coercion and inducement, Jingyuehu revealed the reason why she stayed in this bungalow.
In the past, Jingyue Fox and her owner's family lived in this villa, surrounded by the properties of the girl's family, and lived a prosperous and happy life.
But later, something went wrong in the business of the girl's family, and her parents hanged themselves, leaving the widowed girl with Jingyue Fox as her companion.
She suffered such a huge blow, but the girl survived. Because she had learned business skills from her parents, and she was very talented in the art world, she accumulated her first wealth by selling paintings.
Later, the girl redeemed the bungalow, and she and Jingyue Fox stayed in the bungalow.
The girl regarded Jingyue Fox as her only relative and drew a self-portrait. In the portrait, she and Jingyue Fox were eighteen years old.
Maybe bright candles are always easy to burn out, and the woman became ill from overwork at the age of thirty, leaving Jingyue Fox in this bungalow.
Jingyuehu never left the bungalow again, thinking that maybe one day the woman would come back and he would need to help her protect this most cherished bungalow.
Somehow, Jingyue Fox became the spirit trapped here, and to this day, drives away any visitor who steps into the bungalow.
The story is a tragedy, but Jingyue Fox seems very calm.
"It's a big deal today." Jingyuehu said, looking a little helpless, "You two don't play according to the routine."
One is a ghost from out of town, and the other is not even afraid of ghosts!
"Hey, do you know you are a ghost?" Luo He said.
"I no longer belong to either end of life or death."
Jingyue Fox said quietly: "In the boundary between life and death, I only have this house left, and I keep counting the memories over and over again."
"Dead people cannot be resurrected." Ye Zhi said, "But if you are willing to go to the spirit world, you may be able to see your master again in the next life."
Jingyuehu raised her eyes and looked at Ye Zhi quietly: "I don't believe that dreams are fake, and I don't believe that there is an afterlife after death."
Ye Zhi was silent...she vaguely felt that it was wrong for Jingyue Fox to wander around the world.
But she has no right to persuade Jing Yuehu, let alone stand on the moral high ground and preach justice.
Just as Ye Zhi was struggling with how to answer, the young man's gentle voice sounded in his ears.
Luo He said: "It's too complicated, let's eat first."
Jingyuehu and Ye Zhi were stunned at the same time and looked at Luo He.
"Even between life and death, eating is the top priority."
Chef Luo looked at Jingyue Fox and said kindly:
"If you think it tastes good, then eat up and go on your way."
Jingyue Fox: "..."
Don't smile and say things like, 'Eat this bowl of rice.'
Jingyue Fox sighed and said, "Do I have the right to object?"
"Yes, if you find it unpalatable and can find fault with it, then we will exit the bungalow and won't disturb you any further."
Luo He said: "On the contrary, it's fair to go all the way, right?"
Ye Zhi glanced at Luo He hesitantly.
Using food to complete tasks is indeed the breeder's style.
But would it be too confident to leave the judgment of whether it tastes delicious to Jingyue Fox?
Then I thought about it, no matter what, it was just a mission failure. Today's team building, at least the mentality of everyone in the school team has completely improved.
Jingyue Fox thought for a moment and then suddenly changed.
The white fox turned into a white-haired girl in a dress again, looked at Luo He, and nodded proudly.
Staircase.
Everyone in the school team is waiting anxiously.
"I saw Luo He!"
Tu Yanwu rubbed his eyes and murmured:
"Hey, I'm dazzled. Why are there so many girls besides Ye Zhi?"
Luo He walked down the stairs, followed by Ye Zhi and Jing Yuehu.
Miao Yingying was stunned for a long time, looked at the white-haired girl behind Luo He, and said hesitantly:
"Luo He, this is..."
"Let me introduce, this is the person behind the haunting incident." Luo He said.
Wei Zhe was stunned, staring at the white-haired girl, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he stretched out his trembling hands to push the frame of the mirror.
"She, she is the 'female ghost'."
Wei Zhe pulled Luo He aside, lowered his voice, and tried to calmly say: "I, I didn't say anything wrong, right?"
Luo He said: "Uh... yes, but this female ghost won't hurt anyone."
"Also, she will have dinner with us tonight."
Luo He made an understatement, patted Wei Zhe who was frozen in place, and said in a broad voice:
"It's okay, senior, it's about the extra pairs of chopsticks."
The corner of Wei Zhe's mouth twitched slightly, and a turmoil surged in his heart.
I don't believe there are ghosts in this world, but this white-haired girl appeared out of thin air... She can't explain it with science!
Wei Zhe stretched out his trembling hand, adjusted his glasses, and analyzed calmly:
"Are we going to have our first dinner together as a school team with a female ghost?"
"Don't panic, send her on her way when she's full." Luo He said.
Wei Zhe was silent, admiring Luo He welling up in his heart.
He is worthy of being a chef who has presided over a stove-giving ceremony.
