Chapter 196: Out of the Customs
Time is like water, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
On February 4, 2090, the morning of August 1st of the fourth year of the new era.
Portable dimension, Central Forest.
A white and tender arm pushed open the door of the wooden house, and the smooth feet stepped on the muddy road after the rain, so as not to stir up dust.
Li Xiaolu, who had a fluttering temperament, crossed the dirt road from the wooden house to Linghu with bare feet, and then came to Gu Feng, who had been sitting for a year, and shouted softly: "Wake up, it's time." ”
Gu Feng opened his eyes suddenly, took the defenseless woman into his arms, and turned into an afterimage and flew towards the wooden house.
After a while, the house was alive and full of fun.
A few hours later, Gu Feng hugged Li Xiaolu, who was full of afterglow, and sat on the bed and asked about the current situation.
"There's nothing wrong with the monitoring team outside, right?"
"No, those demon caves have been decadent for a long time after losing the bloodstone, and it took more than half a year for our monitoring agency to find that they have grown new bloodstone, but there is still no major movement." Li Xiaolu lay in Gu Feng's arms with a happy face, letting the man make a mistake on her.
"What about the Arching Priests? Xiaoxue is okay? And that gray-black lion cub? ”
"It's all okay, the leading priests have all broken through the eight locks, and the fourth sacrifice Verat is the strongest, reaching the limit of the eight locks. There are dozens of more Seven Lock Masters in the space. Since the strength of the people in the space is much greater than that of the outside world, every time they go to the Hongjing base to play, I ask a commander or priest to follow and watch them. ”
"Xiaoxue took the little lion and pulled the little overlord mercenary group, running every day, and she was very happy." At the mention of Xiaoxue, Li Xiaolu's face showed a doting and helpless look.
After understanding the situation, the two who had not been warm for a long time were tired of being crooked on the bed for a while before they dressed up again and flew north.
The northern region of the dimension has undergone a year of time changes, and a lush forest has grown.
There was a large area of grass in the forest, and there was a thousand-meter dryad with branches towering into the sky.
The branches and leaves of the dryad were wrapped with a black rich demonic aura, the trunk was full of vein-shaped veins, and a large number of giant python-like thick roots rolled out of the ground, occupying all the land within a radius of dozens of miles.
As Gu Feng and the two approached, the branches and leaves of the dryad trembled, and a perfect white face emerged from the center of the trunk.
It was the face of the dead Aunt Liu, but the face was younger and more refined.
"You're here!" When the two of them came to it, their faces opened their mouths in greeting.
Gu Feng didn't speak, but his eyes turned slightly red, and Li Xiaolu on the side immediately noticed the change in his mood, and forcefully trapped Gu Feng's right arm in her softness.
"You're not Aunt Liu, are you?" Although it was a question, Gu Feng's words were full of affirmation.
"Aunt Liu is dead, I am just a new consciousness born in her body, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been born at all, I could only be passively devoured and absorbed by the consciousness of the tree demon." The face did not try to deceive Gu Feng, after receiving four blessings, the four repeated brainwashing effects had already turned it into Gu Feng's loyal subordinate, even the arrogance from the Winged Demon bloodline could not stop the brainwashing from being carried out thoroughly.
Gu Feng's loss didn't last long, and his face quickly returned to calm.
He had expected this situation for a long time, and he just wanted to see Aunt Liu's corpse wake up and tell him about his situation.
"Do you remember the ice cream that was served in the yard that summer?" The atmosphere froze, and Gu Feng suddenly asked.
"Of course, I remember that when you were six years old, you received a large donation from the orphanage, and I gave a chocolate ice cream to all the nurses and children, and I said that I had a stomachache, so I gave you my own."
"It was your first time eating ice cream, and I've never been so happy as you." The face had a kind smile on his face, and his eyes were full of remembrance, obviously recalling that precious fragment of memory.
In its consciousness, most of the memories belong to the dead Aunt Liu, and sometimes it can't tell whether it is a powerful demon or an ordinary orphanage nurse.
As the topic opened, Gu Feng seemed to have opened a conversation, and continued to chat with the faces on the trunk.
From the dusty childhood memories to the stories that happened after leaving the orphanage, this person talked about everything, as if returning to the familiar time in the orphanage.
Li Xiaolu, who was in a white dress, hugged Gu Feng's right arm tightly and listened carefully to the chat between the two. There are many stories in between, and she has never heard Gu Feng mention them.
After a long time, Gu Feng stopped the conversation, and his eyes looked at the hole on the trunk of the tree a little kinder.
"If you can transform or move in the future, I will make you the fifth sacrifice here, the Dryad Clan."
Gu Feng said one last word, and then he stopped being nostalgic and turned around and left with Li Xiaolu.
After returning to the Central Forest, Gu Feng recalled the earth spirit of the Samoan island country, took out his sensor helmet from the wooden house, and after arranging a sentence to Li Xiaolu, he sat on the spirit lake and put on the helmet.
It was still the teleportation array and the white-haired old man, and after a year of separation, the white-haired old man was still standing there quietly, like a fixed image set by the program, maintaining a fixed movement pattern.
"Shaoxia, do you need to use the teleportation array?" As soon as Gu Feng's figure appeared, the white-haired old man asked kindly.
"Can the teleportation array transmit multiple understandings at once?" Gu Feng said, and ten translucent figures flew out from his eyebrows and landed aside.
The white-haired old man glanced at the figures and replied in the affirmative.
"Yes."
As soon as the old man's words fell, the Ten Senses stood on the teleportation array full of mystical symbols, and looked straight at the old man.
The old man's lips moved slightly, and he silently recited the mantra, and the teleportation gradually shone brightly, and the teleportation was opened.
In the blink of an eye, the ten distinctions with the same appearance and different breaths disappeared in place.
It was as if they had fallen from the distant void to a giant planet the size of a star.
As it continues to fall, the towns and immortal mansions on the surface of the planet are getting closer and closer to the Acquaintances, and they are becoming clearer and clearer in the eyes of the Acquaintances.
Due to too much ability and too much accumulation, Gu Feng's strength after a year of retreat did not improve by leaps and bounds as he imagined, and he directly reached the unknown realm above the limit of the Nine Locks, but he had just reached the Eighth Order of the Nine Locks.
Even so, this time the Acquaintances saw more scenery than the light spirits who came in last time.
For example, what separates the nine continents is not the ocean, but the endless black smoke, in which towering ghost towns and terrifying ghosts can be faintly seen.
The senses fell quickly, and after a while, they fell into the sky above the Qingzhou Zhending Mansion of the Haitian Empire in the northwest of the Changyuan Continent, and entered the ten warm corpses that had just died in Yong'an County.
Next to the teleportation array inside the sensing helmet, Gu Feng was tapping at the white-haired old man, tentatively asking some questions about the ghost game world.
"Old man, are there any hidden treasure chests or other game props in this game?" Gu Feng laughed and asked the old man.
"Shaoxia, the world of ghosts is very large, and the degree of freedom is extremely high, and the specific operations inside need to be experienced by Shaoxia himself to know." The old man replied patiently with a kind smile on his face.
Gu Feng laughed and asked a few more questions about the game, and the old man repeated what he had said before like a repeater.
Suddenly, Gu Feng thought of a key question, and hurriedly asked the old man, "Time in the game world is different from the flow rate in the real world, right?" Can you tell us about the specific time ratio? ”
This time, the old man did not shy away from answering.
"One day in the outside world, the ghost world will live for ten years."
Gu Feng's eyes flickered, calculating the time ratio, and quickly came to a conclusion.
In the outside world, one second later, the ghost world will pass in an hour.
Thinking like this, the teleportation array that had just completed the teleportation glowed brightly and activated again.
The figure of the Seven Spiritual Senses flew out of the teleportation array, carrying the memories of being in the Ghost Snake World, and disappeared into Gu Feng's eyebrows.
The light of the teleportation array had just faded, and within a second, the mysterious symbol on it lit up again, the teleportation array activated again, and the thunder spirit and fire spirit appeared on the teleportation array, and quickly disappeared into Gu Feng's mind.
Gu Feng closed his eyes and looked at the different memories of the nine people brought by the Nine Dao Spiritual Senses.
Of the nine people, only the light-possessed Xiu died of the disease, and the others were killed by the ghosts.
After Xiucai woke up, he was mistaken by his family for an evil person who poured talisman water on his upper body, and died of illness again.
The other eight people, except for the martial arts hall instructor possessed by the thunder spirit and the low-level monk possessed by the fire spirit, were discovered by the ghost the moment they woke up, and then died again cleanly.
After Lei Ling possessed the martial arts hall to teach, relying on his weak ability to drive the thunder spirit power in the air, he barely struggled with the water ghost who dragged him into the well for dozens of minutes, and finally died of exhaustion.
The low-level monk possessed by the fire spirit, his name is Li Baoyuan, his strength is in the third layer of qi training, and his main cultivation method is an ordinary medium spirit technique-Fire Cloud Technique.
The Fire Cloud has been perfected to the fullest, and is able to harness large swaths of flame in battle.
Li Baoyuan was originally an outer disciple of a nearby immortal cultivation force, and he couldn't stand the simple life in the mountains, so he took the initiative to apply for an expatriate assignment and came to Yong'an County to become a foreign Sendai.
When he was passing by an old mansion, he was bewitched by ghosts, walked into a miniature ghost secret realm, was sucked dry by dozens of ghosts, and quickly turned from a young man in his twenties into a white-haired old man with a withered face, and died of decay.
After the fire spirit possessed Li Baoyuan, the fire spirit recipe was instantly completed, and Li Baoyuan's realm broke through three layers in a row, reaching the sixth layer of qi training, and the huge spiritual power brought by the breakthrough turned into a pure vitality to feed back into the flesh, making him look back to his middle-aged appearance.
The ghosts in the Ghost Secret Realm sensed his huge vitality and besieged him one after another, but they were burned to death by Li Baoyuan, who had been promoted to the peak of the middle level of Qi training, with a fire fan in his hand.
Most of these ghosts are ordinary ghosts that have not entered the rank, only a few high-level ghosts equivalent to the second and third layers of Qi training, in the hands of Li Baoyuan, who is the sixth layer of Qi training, they are as fragile as babies, but they just use all their strength to control the fire cloud trick a few times, fan the fire fan a few times, and all the ghosts in the secret world turn into ash smoke and disappear.
The ghosts were quickly wiped out, but he was trapped in the ghost secret realm, cut off from the outside world, and could only keep waving the fire fan to destroy the ghosts that were constantly reborn in the secret realm.
Although this was only a miniature secret realm, only the size of a courtyard, it was not something that a Qi cultivator could shake.
The good times didn't last long, and with a cracking sound of "click", the Fire Cloud Fan that cost Li Baoyuan eight low-grade spirit stones to buy was declared scrapped.
Don't care about cursing the unscrupulous profiteer who sold his fan, Li Baoyuan, who had no magic weapon to defend himself, was chased by ghosts and jumped up and down in the narrow secret realm like a monkey with a red butt.
Li Baoyuan used the aura in his body to shoot out a large cloud of fire, and without the increase of the spiritual weapon, each of his attacks was not only less powerful than before, but also doubled in consumption.
After barely attacking a few hundred times, the spiritual power in his body was exhausted, and he was devoured by the angry ghosts like an ordinary person without the power to resist.
