Chapter 33: The Great War
Wukong and Zichen looked at each other for a long time, and the two of them slowly approached forward at the same time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wukong dared to accept Zichen's challenge this time, in addition to Ye Gucheng's need to be saved, the main reason was his confidence in the 'Fixation Technique'. After a few battles, Goku felt that his control over his mental power had become stronger. He believed that since the 'Fixation Technique' had worked on Zichen last time, it would definitely work this time. Although the time to take effect may be very short, even if it can only freeze the time of Zichen for a moment, it will be enough, and Wukong is confident that in this instant, he will cut off the head of Zichen Demon Dao.
When the two are about to make contact, Goku is the first to attack. As soon as his body was lowered, the firewood knife in his hand slashed flat towards Zichen's lower abdomen. This Zichen Daoist looked shriveled and shriveled, like a thin old man who had no power to restrain the chicken. It's hands-on, but it's flexible. Seeing the wood knife chopping down, he took a step back slightly, and dodged the blade. Immediately following a stride forward, he raised his hand and slapped it on top of Goku's head. Wukong saw that Zichen's palm was blue-gray, and remembered that Ye Gucheng had said that this old way was cultivated by corpse qi, and he thought that this palm must also have great poison. Quickly retreat and dodge the poisonous palm of the old way.
After fighting back and forth like this for a few rounds, Wukong not only did not take advantage of the slightest, but almost let the old Tao's poisonous palm hit. Fortunately, Goku reacted quickly and rolled on the spot to dodge. But it also made a disgraced face.
It seems that it is impossible to defeat the Purple Dust Dao people by force. Wukong no longer hesitated, condensed all his divine senses, and formed a line. The 'Immobilization Technique' slammed into Zichen's head.
Wukong's 'Fixation Technique' had just been issued, and he suddenly felt his head, as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer, and with a 'boom', his brain was blank. Blood flowed from all of his mouth and nose. A terrible and unfamiliar word comes to mind, 'Divine Consciousness Eats Back'.
In the pamphlet left to him by the old man, there is such an account. Skills like 'Immobilization' are divine attacks, and they must not be used when encountering an opponent whose mental power is much stronger than their own. Because it is likely to attract a counterattack from the opponent. This kind of counterattack is the 'Divine Consciousness Counterattack'. 'Divine Consciousness Retaliation' is very terrifying, because it is not only the spiritual power of one's own attack in the past that is rebounded, but also the opponent's spiritual power attack, which is a double blow.
Goku fell to the ground with his head in his hands, and although he had a splitting headache, he did not completely lose consciousness. There was a clear laugh from the purple dust Taoist in his ears: "Ignorant junior, you don't want to inquire." Who can practice corpse control is not a person with a strong divine sense? Last time, I was attacked by you and let you get away with it, and this time you dare to use this trick on me, it's like looking for your own death. ”
Looking at Goku lying on the ground, hugging his head and exhaling. Zichen kicked his feet hard, and then suddenly said to Wukong very gently, "But I have good news for you," he said, grabbing Wukong's collar and picking him up. Leaning in front of him, he said, "I've changed my mind. I don't want to kill you anymore. I will refine you into a 'human puppet', let you follow me forever, feed you rotting human corpses every day, and you will obey my orders to kill people for me." Hahahaha. With a wild laugh, the Purple Dust Daoist pressed his right hand on the top of Wukong's head.
Goku felt a powerful force enter his brain. There was a hurricane blowing wildly in his head. Goku's consciousness began to be a little confused, and a picture of himself holding the dead man's thigh and gnawing wildly appeared in his mind. Fear, anger, sadness, unwillingness, and other emotions all poured into his mind. Goku opened his mouth and roared.
The change happened at this moment, and Goku's body became taller and taller little by little. The originally slightly childish face has become hideous. Long canine teeth also grew out of his mouth. The whole body is covered with a layer of golden fluff. All the muscles in his body bulged, and the clothes on his body were torn. Goku has transformed into a 'Demon Ape' again.
Zichen was also stunned by the sudden change, and put a hand on Wukong's head. looked at Wukong blankly, and only remembered to escape after Wukong completely transformed into a huge 'demon ape' six or seven feet tall, so where would there be a chance.
The Purple Dust Daoist was grabbed by the 'Demon Ape', lifted it high, and fell heavily to the ground. Then the 'Demon Ape' beat his chest with both fists, raised his head to the sky and roared, venting the anger in his heart.
The Zichen Daoist was thrown to the ground, but fortunately, the ground was covered with dead branches and leaves, and he was not killed on the spot. When Wukong's 'Demon Ape' roared in the sky, he took the opportunity to run to the side. Just as he was about to flee a little further, he suddenly stumbled under his feet. Looking down, it turned out to be a long-dead 'human puppet', this 'human puppet' was still holding Ye Gucheng, and Ye Gucheng had woken up from a coma at this time, and was struggling to break free from the 'human puppet's arm. When Zichen saw it, he immediately picked up Ye Gucheng's long sword from the ground and cut it off at Ye Gucheng's head.
As soon as the long sword fell halfway, the purple dust man's body left the ground. He was picked up by the 'Demon Ape' who arrived later. Zichen was frightened, and took the long sword and slashed at the head of the 'demon ape'. I heard the sound of the sword, as if it had slashed at the rock. The 'Demon Ape' had only white marks on its head, not even a single wound.
Although these few blows did not hurt the 'Demon Ape', they completely angered the 'Demon Ape'. The 'Demon Ape' grabbed Zichen's feet with his huge palms, wheeled him up, and slammed him to the ground. There were as many as seven or eight falls on the back foot. Zichen only let out a few screams at first, and then there was no more sound. He who is already dead cannot die anymore.
With the death of the Purple Dust Demon Dao, Wukong's chaotic brain, which had transformed into a 'Demon Ape', slowly gained a trace of clarity. Goku's sanity also recovered a little, and the old man remembered his instructions when he left. "I'm not a monster! I'm not a monster! I'm the Monkey King! Wukong's heart kept shouting. The chaotic sanity slowly returned.
At this moment, he clearly felt a huge force in his body. It is slowly dissipating, it is dissipating rather than disappearing. The power slowly dissipated into the limbs, and slowly I couldn't feel it anymore. He was pleasantly surprised by this feeling, which showed that the old man's conjecture was not wrong. Spiritual power has always been present in one's body. It's just that I don't know how to use it.
As the feeling of power faded, Goku returned to his original form. But he didn't move, carefully recalling the feeling just now in his heart, trying to get that power back. But that power was gone as if it had never appeared.
Goku was still standing there stupidly and motionless. But a faint voice came from his ear: "Hey, hey, that young man, that bare-ass young man." Can you please help me get this thing off of me? ”
Wukong was startled, then he came back to his senses and looked down. Good guy, I'm naked and naked. It turned out that the clothes on his body had been shattered when he transformed, and he didn't know where he had gone. Wukong was embarrassed, and hurriedly blocked his lower body with his hands, trying to find some clothes to wear.
Ye Gucheng's voice came again: "Don't block it, it's so small, there's no difference between blocking and not blocking?" ”
Wukong was even more embarrassed, and quickly ran to the side, picked up the torn clothes, and wrapped them around his waist indiscriminately. Only then did he go over to help Ye Gucheng remove the dead 'human puppet' from him.
Ye Gucheng's injuries were not too serious, but he was deeply poisoned. Fortunately, his own skills are profound and can be suppressed temporarily. He instructed Wukong to gather the corpses of Zichen and the three 'human puppets'. He also threw all of Zichen's belongings, including the 'Soul Eater Stick' that had been broken in two, onto the corpse. Except for Zichen's Taoist robe, which was taken off by Wukong and put on his body. Everything else was burned to ashes by a fire. According to Ye Gucheng's statement, eliminate disasters so as not to bring disaster to the world. However, Wukong always felt a little, the smell of destroying corpses.
After everything was safe, the two returned to Goku's residence. Wukong originally wanted to use the last remaining elixir to detoxify Ye Gucheng. But Ye Gucheng refused, he said: "First, the elixir is rare, and it is too wasteful to use it for detoxification." Besides, after taking the elixir, it will inevitably enhance my strength. And I have always relied on my own penance to improve my skills, so that I can better appreciate the subtle changes in internal force. If I rely too much on external forces to improve, this will be inconsistent with the 'Dao' I have realized, and I am afraid that it will affect my future cultivation and advancement. ”
Hearing him say this, Wukong didn't insist anymore. In the end, I still used the method of soaking glutinous rice to remove the corpse poison little by little. Fortunately, it only took seven or eight more days.
During the period of recuperation, Ye Gucheng also told Wukong about his life experience. He was originally a cultivator family, the fourth son of the Ye family. His family is not too well-known in the immortal cultivation world, but it is also a dominant party in the local area. A descendant like him, after a small success in cultivation, even if he can't inherit the family business. As long as he is an adult, the family will also contribute money and efforts to help him create a small force in other places, so that he can develop freely.
However, he was found to have no spiritual root and could not practice the immortal method. was given up by the family, not only has he never enjoyed the scenery that the son of a big family should have, but he has also suffered a lot of white eyes since he was a child. Even his biological mother was disliked by the head of the family, and finally died of depression. After his mother's death, Ye Gucheng left the family angrily, vowing that one day he would succeed in his cultivation and return to the family. Defeat all the immortal cultivators in the family, who think that they are superior to others if they have a spiritual root.
looked at the excited Ye Gucheng in front of him. Wukong finally understood why he was so angry when he heard that he was not accepted as a disciple by the 'master of the world' he made up because he didn't have a spiritual root.
After Ye Gucheng left the family, he walked the rivers and lakes with one person and one sword, constantly fighting with others, and constantly challenging the masters. After several lives and deaths, he always broke through the limit between life and death and improved his cultivation. In this way, he slowly groped and found his own 'way' of cultivation.
He also pointed out that although Goku has flexible hands and feet, he is not good at martial arts. There are too many extra moves when you shoot, not fast enough. He taught Goku all his years of experience and experience in fighting people. Wukong also took out the 'Seventy-two Changes of Xuantian' to study with Ye Gucheng. After Ye Gucheng read it, he admired this peerless method very much, but this cultivation method and his cultivation method belong to two paths, although there are many things to learn from. But you can't do both.
After this transformation, Wukong had some feelings about his body, but he couldn't find it anymore. Ye Gucheng also helped Wukong analyze. He believes that Wukong's transformation may be related to his emotions, and maybe it will be activated when Wukong's life is threatened. However, he also pointed out that if Wukong transforms again in the future, he must keep his sanity awake, so that he can better exert his strength. If you can't keep your sanity, you can't act on instinct alone. It's like a 'human puppet', although it is also difficult to deal with without the command of the Zichen Dao people. But Goku killed one with his wit and wisdom. But when Zichen is in command, Zichen is the brain of these 'human puppets', and the combat effectiveness of the 'human puppets' will skyrocket. If it weren't for Goku taking one, the final result would be difficult to predict.
After Ye Gucheng recovered from his injury, in order to let Wukong find the feeling when he transformed. Ye Gucheng kept practicing with Wukong every day. Wukong was beaten every day with a blue nose and swollen face, but he didn't find the feeling when he transformed. But after a few months, Wukong's skills have improved by leaps and bounds. There is a vague taste of a master.
On this day, Ye Gucheng invited Wukong to a cliff. Say to Wukong, "Wukong, I think the method we used to inspire you to transform may have been used incorrectly. ”
"I don't think that works this way. I don't feel anything every day except that you beat me up very much. ”
"Looks like we're going to have to do something different."
Wukong just wanted to ask, "What do you want to change again?" At that time, he was kicked by Ye Gucheng to the outside of the cliff. Goku screamed and fell straight down. The cliff is dozens of zhang high, but fortunately there is a waterhole under the cliff, and Wukong fell into the waterhole, so he was not injured, but he also choked on several mouthfuls of water.
When the angry Wukong ran back to the top of the cliff and wanted to find Ye Gucheng desperately. Ye Gucheng was gone, but he just pressed a note on the ground where he was standing.
"After a few months together, we have to find our own way when we finally have to say goodbye. Have you found your near-death feelings? Don't thank me, see you in the future. ”
Angry, Wukong tore the note to shreds and scolded the empty space for half an hour before he lost his anger. Wukong sat quietly on the ground alone, thinking for a long time, and felt that it was time for him to go home, to go back to his home in 'Lingshi Village', and to go home to worship his grandfather.
