“I’ll go, ghost!”Zhang Chu exclaimed in his heart.
Inexplicably appearing on the first floor of the Star Tower, what was it if not a ghost?
However, Zhang Chu was not afraid, this was his home ground after all, he was the owner of the Star Tower, he directly went forward and wanted to ask the old man about his situation.
That old man also discovered Zhang Chu, he looked kind and smiling as he stood in a candlelight, as if he was waiting for Zhang Chu’s arrival.
“Hey, old man!”Zhang Chu shouted.
The old man agreed, “Welcome Master! It is truly a great honour for the old slave to be found by master!”
Zhang Chu’s heart was overjoyed, the old man even called out to his master, which meant that even if he was a ghost, he was a ghost that had been tamed by the Star Pagoda.
As it happened, Zhang Chu had a bellyful of doubts.
“Come over here!”Zhang Chu ordered.
That old man’s legs did not move, and his entire body panned over as if he was on a scooter.
After arriving in front of Zhang Chu, the old man bent down slightly, “What are your orders, Master.”
Zhang Chu directly asked, “Introduce me to what this Sea of Candles is all about?”
“Master doesn’t know?”The old man was surprised.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, had a head full of questions, “I should know?”
The old man, on the other hand, said, “I thought that Master had come to console us sinners.”
“Wait, sinners? What does that mean?”Zhang Chu suddenly felt that the old man’s words were a bit strange.
At this moment, the old man spoke, “Doesn’t the master know that this is the dungeon on the first floor of the Star Tower? All of us wandering souls and wild ghosts were all suppressed here after committing mistakes back then.”
“I go!”Zhang Chu was shocked, “What does that mean? Is the second level of the Star Tower not this sea of candles?”
The old man said, “Of course not, I’ve heard that the second level of the Star Tower is the Scripture Pavilion, which not only contains a large amount of cultivation techniques, but also, there are various secret arts.”
“Whether it’s alchemy, talismans, geomancy and geomancy, prescription arts, medical arts, industrial arts, or all sorts of secret cultivation techniques, the first floor of the Star Tower, all of them are recorded.”
“And this Sea of Candles is actually a land of banishment, a dungeon with only countless banished souls.”
Zhang Chu was instantly shocked, “Wipe! The Star Tower is playing with me isn’t it?”
If the Star Tower could speak, it would probably respond to Zhang Chu with, “You’re the one who played me first ……
Well, Zhang Chu thought that he would be able to obtain all the benefits of the second layer of the Star Tower after he blindly fooled the Star Tower and tricked open the door to the second layer of the Star Tower.
As a result, the door to the second level of the Star Tower was open.
However, what was opened to Zhang Chu was not a true treasure, but a land of banishment.
“Wipe, farewell!”Zhang Chu arched his hand at the old man and was about to exit the Star Tower.
Although this was a land of banishment, Zhang Chu, as the master of the Star Tower, it was simple if he wanted to leave, a single thought would suffice.
However, as soon as the old man saw that Zhang Chu wanted to leave, he immediately became anxious: “Master don’t leave, the old slave has something to say!”
Zhang Chu immediately sized up the old man, “What do you want to say?”
At this moment, the old man said, “Master, although this is the Star Pagoda’s banishment place, there are actually many people, oh no, there are many ghosts that exist here.”
Speaking of this, the old man hemmed and hawed, “We, the divine souls that have been banished here, dream of leaving this hellish place, and guarding a piece of candles all day long, we are turning into candles ourselves.”
Hearing this, Zhang Chu was taken aback, “I’ll go, you can’t be trying to tell me that all of these candles were once a divine soul that was banished here, right?”
“Yes!”The old man unexpectedly admitted it.
Zhang Chu was instantly shocked, “My heavens, then just how many souls have been banished here?”
For his part, the old man said, “Master is burdened with the Star Pagoda, and when the second layer of the Star Pagoda’s gate is opened, anyone that Master kills in the future can have their souls banished in for eternity.”
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, was very surprised, “No, as a banished ghost, how are you so familiar with the Star Tower?”
The old man replied, “Because I once grabbed the Star Tower with its owner, and in the end, I made a bad move and was killed by the previous owner of the Star Tower, and my soul was sealed here.”
Zhang Chu was suddenly enlightened, “It seems that you used to be an expert as well!”
“Hehe ……,” the old man smiled faintly.
While Zhang Chu suddenly changed his tone, “Whether you are an expert or not, it has nothing to do with me either, goodbye!”
“Don’t!”The old man hurriedly shouted at Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu had an impatient look on his face, “What’s wrong again? Have you been lonely for too long and want to chat with me? Let me tell you, I’m not interested in bad old men like you.”
This old man, on the other hand, hurriedly said, “Master, please listen to me.”
Zhang Chu pulled out his ears, “Speak.”
The old man spoke, “In fact, there are not only me here, but also many banished people.”
Zhang Chu nodded, “I know, didn’t you say that every candle was once a banished soul.”
Old man: “I mean, there are still quite a few souls that have not been turned into candles.”
“So?”Zhang Chu asked.
The old man said, “Although those of us who were banished here are all losers who were killed by the previous owner of the Star Tower.”
“However, our souls, being able to survive thousands, or even tens of thousands of years of tedious time, and being able to not turn into ordinary candles, is enough to prove that all of us old fellows who are still alive have something to offer.”
“When we were alive, we were all experts in various fields!”
Hearing this, Zhang Chu’s eyes immediately lit up, “Hmm? You mean, inside this Exile Land, everyone is talented and speaks well?”
“That’s right!”The old man was very happy that Zhang Chu could understand his words.
Zhang Chu wasn’t stupid either, he knew that since these ghosts were all banished, they definitely wouldn’t teach themselves for free either.
So Zhang Chu said, “You definitely want to regain your freedom to reincarnate or be a free wild ghost, right?”
The old man, on the other hand, sighed, “Ai, I’ve been trapped here for too long, so long that I’ve nearly forgotten who I am, and I’m on the verge of dissipating.”
“This kind of thousands of years of dullness is too hard to bear, so I want to go out, I want to see the flowery world outside.”The old man said.
Zhang Chu did not say anything.
As soon as the old man saw that Zhang Chu was not relenting, he hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, master, I don’t have high requirements, old ghost, I don’t need you to grant me freedom, as long as you can take me to see the outside world.”
“And as long as you can take me out, just as a release for me, I can tell you some secrets and teach you some feats or stunts.”
Zhang Chu’s heart stirred, but he pretended to be very unconcerned, “Hehe, stunts? How many stunts do you have, as many as those of the Star Tower? Do you think that I need your stances?”
The old man’s expression immediately froze, he also knew that he was limited in competitiveness in front of the Star Tower.
However, the old man still wanted to give it a try, after all, the chance to have a direct dialogue with the master of the Star Tower was not something to be missed.
At this moment, the old man pondered on what way he should use to be able to impress Zhang Chu.
Finally, the old man’s eyes lit up and he said to Zhang Chu, “I see that the master has a good appearance and is suave, so he is bound to have many women.”
“In this way, old slave I have a violent battle and tonic art, once master learnt it, he can fight ten women at night without getting tired, and all-night tonic without getting tired, so that master can be in high spirits and have a strong male spirit!”
