Chapter 22: Metamorphosis

It rained for three days in a row, and by noon, the sky had begun to clear.

Gao gradually packed his luggage, pulled the two fed horses, and headed out of the town.

"Why don't the guests leave a day later, at that time, there is still a lively market in the town, and the Da Lei Yin Temple is also open to the public, and the guests can go in and have a look." The shopkeeper said earnestly, trying to get Gao to stay.

Gao gradually arrived here and only stayed for one day, but he was very generous, which made the shopkeeper have a good impression of Gao Yan.

It's a pity that Gao Jian is leaving today, which makes him very regretful, and he can't wait for Gao Jian to stay here for a few more days.

"Although this place is very good, it is not the place I want to go, and the imperial capital in front of me is more attractive to me." Gao gradually said his destination unabashedly.

"The guests are going to the imperial capital?" The shopkeeper asked curiously.

"Huh? How? Would you like to see it too? Gao gradually looked at the shopkeeper and said.

"Where did the little one go? Can't go! Can't go! The shopkeeper waved his hand.

"Why can't you go, is that there is a tiger's den in Longtan?" Gao gradually smiled.

"I don't know if Longtan Tiger's Den is small, but I was fortunate to hear a guest say that the imperial capital is dangerous, ordinary people and outsiders go there, and there is not even skin left after being eaten by the people inside. Even if you don't encounter demons and monsters, the ones there are very expensive, and all the small ones are small

Net worth, I can't eat a few meals there......" The shopkeeper said the information he got to Gao Yan.

There are only two kinds of information, one is that the imperial capital is dangerous, so be careful. The second is that the imperial capital is very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it at all.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, Gao gradually remembered it and said it when the time came.

"Thank you, little second brother." Gao gradually threw him a small piece of broken silver.

The shopkeeper immediately smiled, and his attitude became more serious: "Guest, this Da Lei Yin Temple is quite calm after a radius of a hundred miles, and it will not be calm when you go out of this range, you have to be careful when you get out of here." ”

"Thank you." After Gao gradually said this, he left here.

This time, after the replenishment, the two horses were also well fed and could run with confidence.

As soon as I heard the rain, it was not lively here, and after leaving this town, it was even more desolate outside. There was no one, Gao gradually urged the horse to speed up, and at noon, Su Can heard the bell coming with the wind.

This is the bell from the Great Lei Yin Temple, he stayed here for a day, heard this bell, and knew that it would ring at noon.

This bell is not only to tell the time, but also to deter the unscrupulous people of the nearby generation, and when they hear this sound, these bandits, robbers, do not dare to make trouble within this range.

Compared to other places, this temple does play a role.

He left here, and when he went out of this range, he clearly felt the change in it—out of this range, there was a lot of chaos in other places, and chaos could not allow ordinary farmers to work in peace.

In the middle, Gao gradually also encountered the problem he encountered before, and the robbers broke into the village to kill people and set fires. This time, he came a step late, and after the robbers were done, Rikala was half a day.

Gao gradually followed the traces of the robbers and found their cottage, and acted as an assassin alone, sneaking up on the cottage and killing all the fierce robbers inside.

The women who had just been swept past in the cottage killed all the remaining immobile robbers, and then they themselves committed suicide.

Gao gradually couldn't save these insulted women - Rationale has a deep impact on the world, and the idea of 'starving to death is small, and losing temper is big' is deeply rooted, and these insulted women have committed suicide one after another.

This is a terrible thing, and it is a shock that Gao gradually cannot understand.

When he stopped a woman, she said, 'Don't stop me, I'm going to hell if I don't kill myself.' ’

Regardless of Gao gradually explaining to her, the woman was still stunned and didn't listen, bent on death.

Gao gradually got angry, and then he didn't care, after the woman died, he regretted it again and blamed himself - he was still not stable enough and easy to be rash.

Gao gradually became disgusted with the so-called Confucianism in this world, and at this moment, he was disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

He was a little glad that he didn't take the road of the imperial examination, otherwise, the whole person would be corrupted by these rules and regulations.

In addition to this, the closer he got to the imperial capital, Gao gradually found that there were more and more big cities, and the whole world had changed, which made him a little unsure what era this was.

For example, he saw a large steam ship in a river, and in a city, he saw an electric light bulb - although it was the most primitive light bulb, it still made Gao gradually look incredible.

The setting of this world is not scientific! What the hell is the world with Confucianism as the background, and there are scientific and technological forces indiscriminately?

Subsequently, Gao gradually also saw some officials, who were wearing official uniforms like theater costumes.

Some of the men below them were armed with muskets, and some were armed with oxtail knives.

When Gao gradually saw this, he said that he couldn't understand the world more and more.

It wasn't until Gao gradually saw a six-foot fire-breathing beast invade the city, and when the musket was helpless, a group of people with oxtail sharp knives killed the strange beast, which made Gao gradually understand the strange reason.

When Gao gradually entered the city, it still aroused the covetousness of some unscrupulous people here—he was so small, but with two horses, a large bag of luggage, and so much wealth, he was like a child walking in the downtown with ingots.

After Gao gradually took these people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, they were recruited by quite powerful gangs......

Gao gradually picked out this gang of black forces, rescued the abducted women and children, and ran away after sharing the money - although this did not really save the women and children. They can't go home with the money, and when the money is spent, their fate will not be much better.

Gao gradually was hunted down by several forces, and he killed these unpopular pursuits, which attracted the attention of some people.

Gao gradually didn't know that he was being noticed, and he didn't care about it, so he did it and left. Through these things, as well as the battles involved, his whole person became emboldened. Before, he was afraid of killing people, but now he doesn't care, especially those who do bad things.

He is also more cautious, trying not to touch the bottom line of some people too much, and he will not weaken his reputation and make people look bullied.

Through the battles along the way, he also learned a lot about the world.

Although he was in a hurry, what he saw and heard on the road touched Gao gradually deeply, which broadened his horizons and broadened his heart along with the journey.

The world in his eyes is no longer that strange world, and when he sees injustice, he will think about what to do. I don't want to think about it because I am afraid of angering some people who can't be provoked, so that my heart and my own will will be suppressed.

It's so embarrassing, he has to change!

The emperor or something, the religion or something, all hell!

I want to be on top of the world, and I want to be the strongest!

Unconsciously, this idea appeared in Gao Yan's heart, and as soon as it appeared, it was like a seed, deeply rooted in the soil and growing rapidly.

How to get stronger?

This was not difficult for Gao Yan, and the harvest on Chishan Mountain, through this long journey, gave him a new understanding of this power.

This power no longer floats, it has an extra layer of meaning, and it has placed a high and gradual thought, and this idea makes him control it easily.

At this moment, he understood a new kind of power on top of the forging posture, the Holy Merit.

Holy merit, the power of the gods.

By attaining this power, human beings have mastered a way to become gods.

Mortals can live forever through this power, and through this power they can gain overwhelming mountains and seas, challenge gods, compete with gods, and even replace gods...... That said, very few can be done.

Many people have gained power but have not attained immortality, and those who have attained immortality have not attained strength, and those who have not been protected by strength have likewise not been able to live forever.

Gao gradually didn't care about this, he finally opened his own holy power, his own divine power on top of the perfect forging posture.

When this magical power was turned on, Gao gradually felt that he was now and he who had not entered this state before, two different lives.

The previous self is suppressed by the current self. Whether it is at the level of life or the level of strength, the two are worlds apart.

The sublimation of power made it produce a kind of supernatural power according to the most desired desire of Gao Yan's heart. This magical power allows him to intercept a piece of space and use it as his private territory.

This space allows him to put his luggage in, or let people live in it, and he can also use this space to attack.

This is just the beginning, it can also evolve according to his powers. The more divine power he mastered, the more powerful it became, and the more magical this divine power became.

After mastering this magical power, Gao gradually loaded his luggage into this mysterious space as soon as possible. The two horses were used by him as tools, and they kept changing horses.

On the way, when he entered a city, he once again picked an eye-opening gang and killed them in their lair.

"Sure enough, the people behind this are not simple." After killing these black forces, Gao gradually got some information about manipulating these people behind the scenes.

There is no doubt that it is these high-ranking Confucian scholars and gentlemen from the government and the opposition who shelter these black forces.

"The Dawn bandits are doing a good job, which is admirable." After getting this information, Gao gradually began to admire an officially sanctioned terrorist organization.

Officially, they are called the 'Dawn Bandits', and in private there are people who call them the Dawn Blade.

The Dawn Blade is a terrorist organization known for killing people, and its terrifying name makes Gao gradually higher and higher, just like the Axe Gang of that period.

is also famous for assassination, and you have no scruples about killing people, no matter who you are or how big an official you are, you are not soft to kill.

In the same way, they have their own insistence, and ordinary people do not understand, but they are very afraid of these people, and they also identify with their eleven terrible gangs of bandits.
