Chapter 91: Gu Demon
In fact, Xu Xingkong stretched out his hand to grab the big mosquito completely subconscious, just now those poisonous insects and ghosts who rushed over were slapped back by Lu Tongda, but there was a strange big mosquito that slipped through the net, Xu Xingkong could understand with his heel that this must be Lu Tongda's intention, whether he wanted to try Xu Xingkong's ability, or wanted Xu Xingkong to show his ability to someone hidden in the shadows, Xu Xingkong couldn't help but accept this trick.
It's just that in a hurry, Xu Xingkong didn't know how to deal with it at all, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand, he actually thought that he was fighting in the Yuanshen space, and when he found out that this was the real world and not the Yuanshen space, the big mosquito had already fallen into his right hand in a daze, and froze strangely.
At that moment, the surprised Xu Xingkong clearly 'saw' for the first time a magical change that occurred when his right hand and his right forearm used skills, his hand was no longer just an ordinary hand, but a hand that had been infiltrated and controlled by some mysterious rule, Xu Xingkong could use his consciousness and arm to harness the power of this mysterious rule, a powerful force.
This power was ostensibly composed of different primordial spirits, with the blue-black primordial spirits as the main body, and these blue-black primordial spirits covered and infiltrated Xu Xingkong's right hand and arm, as if replacing the original flesh and bones, forming a new, more powerful arm. In this new arm, there are also some little finger-thick pale golden Yuan Spirits interspersed and intertwined to form a network of tendons, attached to and entangled on the bones, the ends of these veins extend to a fingertip, and the upper end is connected to the brain through the upper arm, which is directly controlled by Xu Xingkong's Yuan Shen, and there is also a thicker pale red vein that runs from the brain to the palm of the hand, connecting to the blue pattern of the night owl.
It turns out that his own ability is like this!
Xu Xingkong looked at the right arm that had turned into an external mechanical arm with joy again, suppressed the excitement in his heart and collected the ability, and by the way, he glanced at the energy gauge that was already a small empty section on the demon suppression book, and at the same time, he also noticed that there was more content on the description page of the Spirit Eater Night Stalker, but now is not the time to study.
Quickly took a breath, caught up with a few steps to keep up with Lu Tongda's footsteps, Xu Xingkong said in a low voice: "Doctor Lu is mighty." ”
"Sycophants. ”
The unconcealed smugness in Lu Tongda's tone showed that Xu Xingkong's sycophants were still useful, Xu Xingkong secretly smiled and continued to ask:
"What is that man going to do, does he have a grudge against you?"
"It's just that the cage isn't closed, don't think too much. ”
Lu Tongda replied without looking back, Xu Xingkong didn't believe this answer at all, and he even suspected that the dead face might have heard his disrespectful words to the Zhang family in Xiangxi.
Inadvertently, Xu Xingkong's eyes suddenly lit up, and the cramped space suddenly opened up, and what appeared in front of him was a circular lobby, about thirty or forty square meters, and there were three arched corridor entrances around the circular lobby, which were black like a monster's mouth, just two by two symmetrical.
In the middle of the lobby there is a table of eight immortals, around which there are four stools, and on the table there is a pair of kung fu tea sets, as well as some bottles and jars, perhaps for tea. An old-fashioned lampshade hangs from the ceiling above the table, and the lamp inside is not incandescent lamp, but the trendy LED bulb, but the power is a little small, and it can't illuminate the whole lobby.
Although the light in this lobby is still not good, it is already much better than the dark corridor, Xu Xingkong turned his head curiously and looked behind him, one step apart, the light and darkness are separated, there should be some formation that blocks the light in this lobby, and it will not leak into the corridor at all.
Xu Xingkong turned his head curiously and looked around, and found that under the walls around the circular lobby, there were twelve pillars, the pillars were about one meter two or three in height, the thickness of the thighs, and there was a platform at the upper end, and there was a statue of the zodiac squatting on each platform.
The statue is black, non-iron and non-wood, and the arrangement of the statues does not seem to be in order, facing the corridor is the tiger statue, the left side of the corridor is a dog, the right side is a rat, and the other orders are also irregular, Xu Xingkong estimated that this may be the requirement of some formation.
In fact, under the real vision, these black sculptures are like light bulbs, of course, they are low-power light bulbs, and the colors are also different, between these twelve yuan spiritual halos, there are many light bands criss-crossed, connecting these sculptures, and if you count carefully, you can find that there are eleven light bands on each statue halo connected to the other eleven statues.
These criss-crossing bands of light are basically connected along the ceiling of the dome and the annular walls, forming a sparse bowl-like structure that clasps the circular lobby, which may be made in a circular shape to accommodate this strange formation.
"Twelve days are locked in the soul array. ”
Lu Tongda's easy-going voice sounded in Xu Xingkong's ears.
Xu Xingkong subconsciously looked at the master's house sitting behind the table of the Eight Immortals, and found that he happened to be looking at himself as well, but his pair of dead fish eyes were difficult to see, Xu Xingkong felt that the intensity of this guy's eyes could be compared with Lin Xiaofeng's ethereal eyes.
Turning his gaze away, Xu Xingkong asked Lu Tongda curiously:
"What's the use of setting up a formation here?
"In order to prevent the accumulated monsters and ghosts from escaping, the Zhang family in Xiangxi is very famous for its twelve days of soul locking array, because their soul locking array is different from other people's, since you have the opportunity, you have to take a good look. ”
"Oh, what's the difference?"
Xu Xingkong finally saw a touch of smug affection in the eyes of the dead fish in the master's house.
Lu Tongda took Xu Xingkong to the edge of the table of the Eight Immortals, sat down on the right side of the master's house very casually, and watched Xu Xingkong sit cautiously opposite the master's house, and then he replied with a smile:
"The biggest feature of the Twelve Days Soul Locking Array of the Zhang Family in Xiangxi is that it is targeted, except for the marked targets, other living creatures will not be trapped by the formation. ”
Xu Xingkong nodded and said, "It sounds very powerful, automatic recognition!"
A trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the master's dead fish, and it was obvious that Xu Xingkong's ignorance was despised.
Xu Xingkong blinked helplessly, there is no way to do it, who is calling Yang Wanjiang didn't give a few more popular science books on the basic knowledge of the formation?
Lu Tongda smiled and said: "Of course it's amazing, the recognition ability of the formation has always been a very important indicator of the formation, most of the formations are identified by using special identification spirit weapons, and the Zhang family has a unique way, marking the target with a secret method without using a spirit weapon, the cost is low and the efficiency is high, just relying on this secret method, the Zhang family in Xiangxi can occupy a place in countless cultivation sects." ”
Xu Xingkong gave a little more affection this time, and praised it with a little pompousness: "Amazing!"
The corners of the master's mouth twitched, and he suddenly raised his hand and slammed a fist-sized bottle on the table.
This is a wide-mouth bottle commonly used in hospital pharmacies, around the bottle and at the bottom, there are dark red thin lines outlining strange and mysterious patterns, the mouth of the bottle is plugged with a glass lid, and there is a dark purple paper ribbon on it, with golden patterns on it, maybe words or runes, anyway, Xu Xingkong can't recognize these twists and turns.
Inside the transparent glass bottle is a thumb-sized gray-brown beetle, the beetle has a jujube-shaped body, six legs, a pair of small fan-like tentacles, a knotted abdomen, and longitudinal stripes on the dorsal carapace, which looks very ordinary, and if it is thrown outside, I am afraid that no one will think that it is a terrible youkai.
"This is the Gu Demon?"
The master rolled his dead fish eyes, and the mouthy and ignorant Xu Xingkong was once again despised.
Lu Tongda reached out to take the bottle, but the pale and bloodless hand of the master pressed on the bottle first, turned over the dead fish and looked at the two of them and said:
"Half a year's rent?"
Lu Tongda nodded vigorously: "Half a year's rent." ”
"Purpose?"
Xu Xingkong looked at the owner of the dead face differently, and didn't understand why this master would ask about the purpose, it seemed a little strange, could it be that this was also a rule?
Lu Tongda replied disappreciatively: "Use it to strip the ability." ”
Hearing this, the master slowly retracted his hand, looked at Xu Xingkong, and Lu Tongda nodded slightly.
"Your disciple?"
Lu Tongda smiled and shook his head: "No, it has nothing to do with you." ”
Lu Tongda didn't seem to want Xu Xingkong and the master's family to know each other, the master's somewhat blood-ischemic lips moved, but he still didn't ask again, but he still stared at Xu Xingkong, and there seemed to be a slight look of inquiry in his emotionless eyes, it seemed that his curiosity had not been extinguished.
Lu Tongda ignored the curiosity of the master, reached out and picked up the bottle, looked carefully at the Gu demon in the bottle, and then handed the bottle to Xu Xingkong, Xu Xingkong took it with some trepidation, carefully pinched the mouth of the bottle, stretched out his arm to keep the bottle away from him as much as possible, and then carefully observed.
The Gu Demon in the bottle also had brown eyes, and if you looked closely, you could see that there seemed to be a hint of cold flickering in that small eye, and it seemed to be observing the three people around it.
Xu Xingkong shook the bottle, and the Gu demon slid along the bottom of the bottle, and then moved its claws, but the bottom of the bottle was too smooth, and it was still thrown around uncontrollably, which made Xu Xingkong confirm that the Gu demon was still alive.
"This is a non-poisonous Gu demon that doesn't have any other valuable abilities other than the two instinctive abilities of internal devouring and breeding. ”
Lu Tongda explained to Xu Xingkong in a timely manner, he knew Xu Xingkong's details very well.
"Non-toxic, internal devouring and breeding?" quickly searched for these two abilities in his mind, Xu Xingkong asked with some surprise: "These two abilities are not lethal, this kind of Gu demon is cultivated to strip skills?"
Lu Tongda smiled and nodded: "Not bad, but don't underestimate this Gu demon, it is not a simple matter to cultivate a Gu demon that can be stripped of skills, you must know that when a demon with a low level of Yuan Shen is dissociated by soul searching, it is impossible to strip out skills, and if you want to cultivate a strong Yuan Shen with enough support to support the stripping on such a weak Gu demon, the difficulty can be imagined." ”
Xu Xingkong's face became solemn, Lu Tongda said this before he woke up, in those popular science books, it seems that quite a lot of monsters are marked as weak in the Yuan Shen, and if you think about the law carefully, you can find that the smaller the brain volume, the lower the strength of the monster Yuan Shen, except for those Gu demons in ancient legends, the insect monsters that are marked as strong in those popular science books do not seem to be more than a slap in the face, and they are all rare varieties with ancient blood.
"It's just grafting ghosts and Gu worms. ”
The host suddenly interjected, this kind of self-destructing secret behavior made Xu Xingkong quite puzzled, but it was more of the discomfort after hearing this secret, imagine that the insect in his hand was actually formed by a person's soul drilling into the body of the insect, how does this feel like?
The master saw Xu Xingkong's frowning brows and hooked the corners of his mouth, maybe he blew up his secret purpose, just to disgust Xu Xingkong, this is really a cautious person.
