Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Corpse
Everyone, including me, was already frightened when they saw such a sudden change in the field, and instinctively took a few steps back one after another. I'm afraid that Ah Gang, who was fed Gu, will have some terrible mutations.
I saw that Ah Gang swallowed the "insect jade", and sure enough, his whole body twitched, his face had become blue, the whites of his eyes began to redden, and his spine was even more tense, as if he had been hit by 100,000 volts of high-voltage electricity. Ah Xia's eyes were sharp, and he had already noticed that his limbs had gradually turned purple from the connection with his body, and in an instant, he was still infecting the tips of his hands and feet at a speed visible to the naked eye...... Seeing this creepy scene, she couldn't help but hug my arm tightly, and whispered to me tremblingly: "Lizi, he is like this, like, ...... at that time"
"Well, don't be afraid! There I am! That being said, I couldn't help but shudder at the sight of this dΓ©jΓ vu. Without Ah Xia's reminder, I can also think that this terrifying scene in front of me is not exactly what the pair of hard-working mandarin duck corpses of Liang Hu and Zhang Yan in the nameless Gu tomb looked like when they transformed!
Thinking of this, Ah Xia and I retreated a few meters in a row, and it wasn't until Jin Siniang urged Zhenyuan, opened up the aura, sacrificed the wind wall, and wrapped the Gu Gang and the brute blind man and herself in it, and we felt a little relieved to stand down beside Zhengxiong.
In the center of the familiar Wind Splitting Array, the red-eyed blind man saw that Ah Gang had been bruised all over his body, and had completed the transformation of "Gu Ren", he couldn't help but squint his distracted eyes, sneered, and kicked Ah Gang in the back, kicking Ah Gang, who had completely fallen into madness, to Jin Siniang, and let him let out a hysterical roar, and the zombie rushed towards Jin Siniang with his teeth and claws!
The blind man saw that Jin Siniang was forced to take a few steps back by the mad dog-like Ah Gang, and couldn't help laughing wildly, and sang a sly song to Jin Siniang, and then squeezed out a "Please!" from between his teeth. "The word - the implication is to let her diagnose and cure this violent and very Gu people.
I'm going to go! If you can't see it, others can see it! Anyone who is caught off guard and sees such a monster like a rakshasa ghost, and rushes towards him with drool, don't be scared half to death! If I encounter this kind of patient, it will be too late to escape! Speaking of blind uncle, what you have done crazy has already crossed the bottom line of making things difficult for people, okay, if you have to say it, you are obviously taking revenge on society by doing this!
However, in Jin Siniang's eyes, the behavior of a blind man who can't help but complain in every way is not enough to make her helpless, how can she see it? The cigarettes that never leave their hands, as well as the calm and leisurely smile, all show this kind of trick, in the eyes of the master of the dignified mountain mover sect, it is not elegant, at most, but it is just a small fight.
While talking and laughing, Jin Siniang had already figured out the action mode of "Gu Man Ah Gang", and while continuing to deal with him who had fallen into madness, she analyzed the principles and countermeasures of this Gu technique by observing the blind man who was controlling Ah Gang's big fight on the side.
As a person who has fought with Ah Gang under normal conditions, I still have a certain say in his ruthlessness and fierceness. Putting aside the factor of the Spell Dao Gate, if Ah Gang is allowed to fight against someone who doesn't understand martial arts, nine times out of ten the other party will suffer, after all, it's not terrible to be brave and ruthless, and the outlaws can't afford to provoke it.
But it's strange to say, although the Gu man Ah Gang's movements are much faster than when he fought with me, but if Jin Siniang, who is well versed in the way of hope, has the heart to fight, it is not a matter of minutes to subdue him, is it that she is so slow to do it, is she completely sure that she will decide the winner with one move like before?
With this question, I couldn't help but catch Zhengxiong and chatted again: In other words, although I have lived in the Jin family for more than half a month, I am curious, how is the cultivation level of this mountain mover measured? I'm a half-ass, what level is it in the Dao level system of the sect?
After listening to my barrage of questions, Zhengxiong thought about it, and still gave a relatively objective statement:
"Brother Li, have you read the Yellow Emperor's Neijing?" After receiving my nod of affirmation, he continued: "Then you should know that in Taoist thought, people other than mortals are divided into four levels: true, supreme, sage, and sage. β
Of course I know that. "The Theory of Ancient Innocence" makes it very clear that real people can mention heaven and earth, and people are in harmony with yin and yang, sages are from the principle of the eight winds, and sages are separated from the four times.
Seeing my impatient gaze, Zhengxiong naturally knew what I was thinking, and hurriedly continued: "Brother Li, don't be in a hurry, there is a family of mountain movers, which has a long history and has been passed down since ancient times. The ancestors have also had some real-life characters who jumped out of the Three Realms and were not in the Five Elements, but those are already legends from a long time ago. Judging from the existing characters today, the level is roughly below the supreme man and above the sage. β
Oh, it seems that the span is quite large. In this way, several master-level characters led by Lao Dao Hong Zunxian should also be human-level characters, at least, looking at Jin Siniang's magic power of dialing the stone machine before, it already has a bit of a taste of reversing yin and yang. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but continue to ask: "Ah Xiong, I understand a lot when you say this, but this is the universal view of Taoism. Is there any objective standard for moving mountain roads? β
Zhengxiong thought about it, nodded, and continued: "This one is still available." I remember my mother told me that when Mr. Hong came up with the entry test for mountain movers more than ten years ago, he really proposed a system to evaluate the qualification level of mountain movers. According to his theory, the existing mountain movers, from low to high, have to go through a process of advancing from the entry level, to the disciple level, then to the human level, then to the master level, and finally to the grandmaster level. And each rank can be subdivided into nine small stages, each with its own detailed evaluation criteria - if you want to know, I can borrow the "Mountain Mover Cultivation Manual" given to me by Sister Weiwei to take a closer look, it is said that it was written by Lei Shibo himself, and it is very detailed......"
"Oh-", I couldn't help but interrupt him as soon as I heard it, "Then at my current level, that level?" What about you? What about Sister Kim? β
"Well, needless to say, my mother has already entered the threshold of the master level, it should be between the fifth and sixth orders of the master. Well, Lei Shibo's assessment is the third order of disciples. If you count the potential after the blessing of the ink tiger, it will be promoted to the peak of disciples at most. As for you, I don't judge it favorably, what Hei Shibo means is that although you can use the 'Vipassana Channel' that can only be activated at the expert level, but the basic skills are too solid, and many basic methods can't, he thinks that you can enter the eighth order at most, a little lower than Sister Yang......"
What the!? This daring black dick! You look down on me so much! I'm mad at me!
However, having said that, under normal circumstances, my combat power is indeed slightly inferior to the talented Ah Xia. Well, since Lei Datong and Sister Jin did not object to this evaluation, it seems that there is still its objectivity, probably. Thinking like this, my resentment suddenly disappeared most, and my heart said: In the future, I really have to practice the basic skills of pulling down solidly - otherwise, I won't even be able to use acupuncture, standing piles, meditation and rejuvenation, and I am really embarrassed to ask the master for the special "qualification-certificate" of the Taoist called "moving mountain charm" to hang around my neck.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of a question that echoed it: since Taoist priests have their own hierarchy, what about monsters? For example, the skinless dried corpses encountered in the Nameless Gu Tomb before, as well as the poison-spraying monster corpses transformed by Liang Hu's corpse, as well as those ferocious animals that have eaten the flesh of dead people, or the zombie-like Gu people in front of them, how can they divide their combat power levels?
After listening to me, Zhengxiong also smiled knowingly, and couldn't help but joke to me for the first time: "Brother Li, you really don't read well enough!" Since you are familiar with the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", why haven't you figured out the immutable mechanism followed by all kinds of ghosts and monsters in this world? β
When he said this, I was confused and a little apprehensive in my heart, seeing that Ah Xia was listening to it with relish on the side, my face couldn't help but turn red with shame, and I couldn't help urging him: "Less nonsense!" If you tease me, you can pull it! Don't sell it, in a word - say, or don't say! β
Zhengxiong saw that I was anxious, so he naturally stopped squeezing me, and unhurriedly said a point that I almost realized: "Taoist thought has always thought, 'Good and evil are born together-evil is born from good, and good is transformed into evil.'" All disorderly righteousness can be used as a breeding ground for evil ways.'" In this way, the characteristics that a normal creature should have can be used as evil thoughts for a monster that has lost its heart. β
"Oh-", I felt as if I had enlightened myself when he mentioned this, and I thought of something interesting: "So, based on the human beings who are the spirits of all things, the three souls and seven spirits that a healthy person possesses can be used to define the special emblem of monsters?" β
"That's right!" Zhengxiong was also a little excited when he saw that I had found the right door, and said in one breath: "The demons transformed by the seven spirits of people, from the perspective of rarity, increase according to the removal of filth, swallowing thieves, stinky lungs, corpse dogs, bird yin, non-poison, and volcanic loss, and each kind of spirit can distinguish a class of abnormal spirits - in the final analysis, these strange things are all products derived from the power beyond the control of the ontological consciousness......"
"And what about the three souls?" When I heard him say this, I became more and more curious, and I couldn't help but interject and ask. The reason why I am so urgent is not because I think of the two mysterious white-robed people in my Vipassana dream.
"Three souls, the situation is complicated. The soul corresponding to this consciousness that we are most familiar with, 'fetal light', is very common, and everyone can feel it with all five senses. However, according to my mother, the spiritual objects transformed by 'cool spirits' and 'ghost spirits' are extremely rare, and their rarity is much higher than that of 'Fu Lost'. These two types of spirits have never even been seen by my mother, and it is said that only the heads of my grandfather's generation have the privilege of seeing them once. β
"Cut, so you don't know!" I saw that Zhengxiong suddenly lost his confidence as he spoke, so I couldn't help but take the opportunity to taunt him, and asked, "Then you always know how these monsters divide the strong and the weak, right?" Tell me about it, or it won't be good if I run up to my death when I meet a powerful master in the future. β
"Well, it's actually similar to the three, six, nine, and so on of the people I said before. Corresponding to the truth, to, saint, sage, and mortal of people, the patriarch also divided the wandering ghosts into five kinds: spirit, spirit, spirit, charm, and spirit, and the corpse zongzi can also be divided into five categories: corpse, corpse, corpse, corpse, and corpse embryo from strong to weak. The corresponding man-eating monsters can also be roughly divided into ancestral insects, king insects, long insects, foot insects, and peregrine insects. β
"Oh - there is such a doorway. Sister Jin is really, she has been getting started for more than half a month, and she hasn't taught me such useful common sense at all! "I listened to Zhengxiong's series of words like a few family treasures, and I couldn't help but complain about Jin Siniang's partiality. At a glance, he saw the Gu man Ah Gang who was fluttering up and down in the field, rushing back and forth, and couldn't help but point at him and ask Zhengxiong: "Then you say, what level is this product?" β
"In my opinion, although this Gu man seems to be ferocious, he is just a corpse-level devouring thief." Zhengxiong squinted his eyes and carefully observed it, and carefully gave his judgment.
In this way, the supreme-level Jin Siniang, against the corpse-level Gu people, wouldn't it be possible to kill them in seconds just by crushing them with strength? Say it earlier! It's a shame that Ah Xia and I secretly worried about her for a long time!
Thinking of this, I realized that the series of evasive actions made by Jin Siniang on the surface were actually just waiting for the Gu man's wave of attacks to be completed, and the blind man who controlled him inadvertently revealed a gap in issuing instructions.
Yes, this is a good performance. It seems that the Gu man Ah Gang, who is pressing forward, has already gained the upper hand under the manipulation of the blind man, and has almost forced the retreating Jin Siniang to the edge of the Split Wind Array that she has laid herself. Seeing this scene, the blind man also laughed proudly, hoping that Jin Siniang would admit defeat immediately, and he was also able to take a shameful breath of the resentment that had accumulated in his chest over the years.
It's just that, as I said before, a kung fu like Ah Gang will bully ordinary people, even if he is transformed into a Gu person, he doesn't have much chance of winning against characters with some foundations, such as Zhengxiong, not to mention the supreme level - according to Zhengxiong - Jin Siniang of the fifth and fifth orders of the master. In a word, how long you can be arrogant depends on whether she wants to deal with you or not!
And at this point in time, I think it's already here-I saw Jin Siniang seeing the blind man patronizing and laughing, and a big mouth like a lion's mouth had no time to give orders to the Gu people by pouring spells, and the movements of the black-faced Ah Gang were also slightly slower than before, half a beat.
It's nowβ
The golden wind breaks through the air, and the demons retreat.
When Jin Siniang stood in the circle and sat back on the mahogany chair after lifting the splitting wind formation, I saw that she actually only had three stitches, which were pierced on the top of Gu Man Ah Gang's head, the divine seal on the side of the chest near the heart, and the three major points of the dantian in the middle of the umbilicus. As for the effect, look at Ah Gang, who let out a retching sound and spit out a cloud of thin black worms with bile, I already understand eight or nine points.
After a while, Ah Gang's face, which was still in a trance, had returned to normal, and the terrifying blue and purple had completely receded from him.
"Yet, it's not over yet!" Seeing that all the Gu poison he had placed on Ah Gang had been forced out by Jin Siniang at the right time, the blind man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him, listened attentively, and searched the location of his apprentice, apparently wanting to use the same trick on the "Treasure of the World" Ah Ju. However, the cunning Ah Juan saw that the situation was not right, and had already seen through the mind of the blind manβbefore the blind man could lock his position, Ah Ju had already shouted, grabbed the door without looking back, and fled by himself. Ah Gang in that scene also happened to recall the disgusting and terrifying experience when he was tricked by a blind man.
Seeing that the two of them fled first, Alu didn't stop no matter how he screamed, and couldn't help but help his uncle get angry, and then saw that the people of the Jin family had begun to point out the blind man and start laughing, he became more and more angry, shouted and roared at everyone, and actually took the initiative to ask Ying, stepped forward, and asked the blind man to play tricks on him.
"Aman! Stop it! Jin Siniang estimated that she also saw the shadow of the blind man from the thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the tiger-headed Alu, who couldn't help but open his phoenix eyes and raise his willow eyebrows, and shouted angrily at the blind man who took out the gourd and was about to attack Alu, and rebuked him awe-inspiringly: "Doctor, don't forget your original intention, since the day of hanging the pot to help the world, you have already handed over your soul to the gods, a heart to save the life and help the wounded, and let the judgment be made; The Taoist, the law is in yin and yang, and since the beginning of the number of spells, he also completely entrusts his mind and mind to the sky, the soul of the trinity, and has its own heavenly reincarnation. What is the difference between you who do not distinguish between right and wrong, who go mad, who are obsessed with obsession, and who are tired by the past, and the ignorant villagers who insisted on driving away your father and son back then? Ah Man, ask yourself, is obsessed with Gu art contrary to Daddy's original intention of blessing the people! β
"Ahhhhh The blind man was drunk by Jin Siniang on the head, and he also recalled all the things he was taught by his father when he was a child, only to feel that his head hurt for a while, how could he care about giving Aru Shi Gu, he had already scratched his head, opened his mouth wide and drank the worm jade in the gourd, and instantly turned into a pitch-black Gu man, and bumped into Jin Siniang with his teeth and claws!
Seeing this, Jin Siniang also hated that iron could not become steel, but fortunately put away her pipe and said: "Obsessed, watch the old lady wake you up!" As he spoke, he had already stirred up his true qi, and he danced two golden wind knives like flying swallows, and fought with the blind man who had lost his mind.
"Uncle!" Aru on the side dared to be a blind man with one hand, and he was like a brother, so he naturally knew what kind of risk he would face if he drank an excessive amount of Gu worms at this time, and he couldn't help but risk being injured by mistake and rush into the circle. This action was naturally seen by Jin Siniang, who was watching the six roads and listening to all directions, and with a wave of her jade hand, a gust of golden wind had already rolled up, blowing him out of the circle, and then she set up a triple splitting wind array again, only locking her and the blind man who was rapidly turning into a man in the formation!
Seeing the pitch-black brute blind man grow in size sharply in the array, I couldn't help but think of the moon-devouring pan in the nameless Gu tomb that day, alas, it seems that most of the things that get involved with insects are not a good thing!
Looking at the blind man whose body had swelled several times and turned into a small elephant-sized man, I realized that those sesame-like little black worms had been deeply embedded in his meridians and acupoints, like mitochondria in plant cells, cooperating with his breathing, injecting energy into his muscles and bones, and spawning him into a Hulk-like monster in a Hollywood comic book adaptation - well, the only difference is that the skin on this head is black.
Just listen to "Boom! With a loud bang, the blind man had already leaped up, slammed on the bluestone slab where Jin Siniang had landed before, smashed four or five strip-shaped stone slabs into several pieces, splashed on the wind wall under Jin Siniang's cloth, and landed on the edge of the splitting wind array. At present, because the field is wrapped by the wind wall, it has become like a cage, and the huge Gu humanized brute blind man occupies a quarter of the space, and Jin Siniang has to ride the golden wind to maneuver with the black giant in the remaining narrow space.
Due to the fact that she had to spend her true qi every second to create a golden wind gallop, and she also had to be distracted to maintain the integrity of the Triple Splitting Wind Array, Jin Siniang's consumption was much greater than she looked. Even though I could only see a few drops of sweat oozing from her forehead, I felt the tremendous pressure on her shoulders. Seeing that the blind man's attack became more and more fierce, I couldn't help but secretly worry about her, for fear that if there was a slight mistake, Jin Siniang would die in this thrilling death match.
glanced at the bear, and actually resumed his standard poker face as when he watched the game before, analyzing and learning Jin Siniang's movements expressionlessly. Whenever he encounters ingenious moves, he can't help but put himself in his shoes, as if it is not his mother who is fighting on the field, but passers-by who have nothing to do with it.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and asked, "Ah Xiong, aren't you worried about your mother?" β
"Well, it's fine." Zhengxiong replied, but his eyes did not leave the center of the battle at all, he was still eager to observe this rare battle scene, and when he saw that I was still looking at him, he couldn't help but add: "Uncle Black has taken an overdose of Gu worms, and now his combat power has surpassed the corpse level, and he has become a corpse-level devouring thief, which is relatively close to my mother's strength, and the opportunity is rare, so you can take a good look." β
Finished?
That's it.
I'll go! Your two mothers and sons are also desperate. When I was fighting with Mohu before, I couldn't help but blame Jin Siniang for not making some substantive support actions except for withdrawing the earth's qi, and now looking at Zhengxiong's reaction when watching the battle, I finally understand what it means to "have a mother and a son". Although Jin Siniang's strength is still slightly better than that of this gorilla-like blind man, who can guarantee that in a battle of this level, there will be no accidents?
Zhengxiong probably guessed what I was thinking, and after being silent for a long time, he finally spit out two words: "Trust." β
"Trust"? I see.
I suddenly remembered that in this world, there is actually a person who has such a deep bond with me, and every time I face danger, she has placed infinite hope on me without hesitation. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Ah Xia, she was watching Sister Jin's battle with all her attention, one hand was still clasped with my ten fingers, and a stream of heat was pouring into my body from her palm, straight to my heart - trust, is this how it feels?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel hot in my heart, and I followed her example and quietly observed Jin Siniang's battle. Right now, the Gu humanized brute blind man has gone crazy to the extreme, and the field wrapped in the Splitting Wind Array has been dug three feet into the ground by him, and Jin Siniang has even been forced by him to hide on the wind wall of the Splitting Wind Array, and is forced to distance himself from the violent King Kong from the vertical direction.
Is this the ability to "swallow thieves"? While observing the huge Gu humanized barbarian blind man, I savored Zhengxiong's previous explanations, combined with the records of the "Neijing" and other classics that I had read, and thought about the characteristics of this monster. It seems that, like the previous Gu man Ah Gang, one of the attack methods of the thief-swallowing monster is to open its mouth wide and bite, which is also in line with its title of "swallowing thief"; In addition, these monsters have another characteristic, which is berserk. I just don't know, will this blind thief swallow be like the previous Gu man Ah Gang, and the berserk state has a duration limit?
Thinking about it, the devouring thief turned into a blind man launched a wave of devouring attacks on Jin Siniang, who was only half as tall as it, and looking at the fierce monster in front of me, I suddenly remembered a similar guy - it seems that the pan gourd in the Great Black Mountain Gu Tomb should be the same as it. Speaking of which, Pan Gu also has a remarkable ability to "evolve", which reminds me of the alien in science fiction movies. Perhaps, the alien is a kind of artistic processing that foreigners have evolved after witnessing the devouring monster devouring livestock, who knows.
Thinking of this, I immediately realized that in these two successive battles with the thieves, why did Jin Siniang have to lay down the Wind Splitting Gust - the intention is actually very obvious, that is, to prevent outsiders from accidentally breaking in. Uninvited guests are easily injured by rampaging monsters, not to mention, if they are devoured by monsters, it may also cause the evolution of this devouring thief. It is worthy of being the master, and sure enough, every detail is very well considered.
In the blink of an eye, the battle had been fought for another forty or fifty rounds, and the pace was as fast as the previous battle between Zhengxiong and Mohu. It's just that the difference is that in the previous death match, the two sides could be described as fierce and fierce, and both sides were injured, but now in this battle, although Jin Siniang seems to be forced to have no place to stand, she has no injuries on her body. On the other hand, the blind man, although he seems to be fierce and fierce at the beginning, but after a closer look under the blessing of Wangqi, it can already be seen that his internal qi flow is gradually beginning to slow down, and those little black worms whose mitochondria generally provide the host with extra biological energy have also significantly slowed down the rate of energy release! Could it be that this is the secret of berserk?
In retrospect, the time that Jin Siniang was waiting for when she killed Gu Man Ah Gang in seconds should have been the moment when most of the little black insects were exhausted and could not continue to provide the power of rage, in other words, it was the so-called-
