Chapter 729: The Secret of the Ghost King

Tang Shidao wanted to contact the Golden Crow Clan, firstly, because the Dark Golden Crow bloodline had not yet reached the Great Perfection, and he needed to further understand the power of the Golden Crow Clan. The second is to learn from the power of the Golden Crow clan to cultivate colorless, after all, the eclipse has something in common with the primordial black flame.

After listening to the explanation of the Suzaku Firebird, I didn't expect that the 'mountains and seas' would be like this.

Faintly, Tang Shidao had a very familiar feeling.

"Thank you."

Bidding farewell to the Firebird and leaving the sacred beast home of the Vermilion Bird, Tang Shidao immediately began to think about the meaning of this paragraph. Regarding the Mountains and Seas and the Key to Mountains and Seas, it is clear that it must have been deliberately left behind by the Snake Mage. It's just that it's hard to say whether the mountains and seas were established by the snake mage and the 72 people. It feels like the mountains and seas are not a corner of the void, but a 'outside world' like the primordial jurisdiction.

The original jurisdiction has the most special way to enter, which cannot be entered directly, but can only lead, and there are only a few people who can enter alone.

The mountains and seas are similar.

In addition to being opened through the Key of Mountains and Seas, the way it enters is also unusual...... You need to create a new one! In contrast, the primitive jurisdiction can be regarded as a personal footing, but the mountains and seas are completely different, and it rejects all outsiders from the root.

In other words: no one can really enter the mountains and seas!

Return to the Royal Palace.

Tang Shidao took out the key to the mountains and seas, and he was also surprised that this thing actually hid such a secret. Although I got the key to the mountains and seas in the battle of mountains and seas earlier, I felt that it had always been a useless thing. Now that the Vermilion Bird Firebird explained, he found that there were really a lot of pits dug by the snake mage.

"Chang Ying."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I need to meditate for a while, don't bother with anything important, and I don't have to prepare food. If the Empress finishes practicing, or the Moon Spirit Empress comes back, you can come and inform me again. "Tang Shidao doesn't need to enter the Mage Network, because the connection of the Key of Mountains and Seas is another model, the same as the original legal domain.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tie Changying was relieved when he heard that it was not a retreat.

Immortal practice often requires meditation and concentration.

Your Majesty is probably just practicing habitually.

The crowd left.

Tang Shidao slightly blocked the surroundings and quickly activated the hidden setting of the Key of Mountains and Seas. At this time, there was no teleportation, no passage, and no gate, just like the induction of the new character in the video game, and in an instant, Tang Shidao found himself entering a chaotic space. All sensations were gone, except for the spiritual consciousness in the mind. This state is infinitely close to the state of 'nothing', and the only thing left is the spiritual consciousness that remains.

"Is this a 'death' once?" Tang Shidao muttered to himself, but he didn't actually make a sound.

At this moment.

There is only one instruction in mind: is it a random rebirth?

There are only two options.

Select No to exit the world of mountains and seas.

The choice is to start a trip to the mountains and seas...... But not your own trip, but another self.

"Here we go." Tang Shidao naturally confirmed the 'yes' option.

In an instant, a feeling of pain and healing rose, and Tang Shidao immediately recovered from the 'nothing' feeling of this chaotic space to the five senses of cold, heat, thirst, and hunger. Before he could open his eyes, the touch of dead leaves and twigs on his skin, the smell of blood and mildew in his nose, and the shouts of the crowd in his ears already indicated his condition: a young man who had fallen at the bottom of the valley.

Theoretically.

Now this self is already a dead man, but the mountains and seas have derived him into a new character.

In the moment of coming back to my senses.

Tang Shidao's mind suddenly flashed the shadow of a 'woman in Tsing Yi'.

However, it is fleeting...... Not even sure if it was actually seen, as if it was just an illusion. Because of his colorless experience, Tang Shidao did not suspect that he had a problem with his brain. Needless to say, this shadow does exist, but not as a person or as a soul, but as a special effect. It is possible that the new character generation of Shanhai is related to this woman in Tsing Yi.

If this is a game, the woman in Tsing Yi is equivalent to the NPC of the opening guide.

However.

There is no mission guide, only a new one is born again.

At this moment, Tang Shidao had new memories: his name was Qin Feng, male, twenty-one years old, the son of the head of the nearby Shuilong Village, and the second hunter in the village. In addition to these simple messages, all the bits and pieces of life, from childhood to adulthood, are intact. It can be said that the memories that Qin Feng ignored were all remembered by himself, and they were recorded as completely as a book.

Same in this moment.

Tang Shidao found that he only retained one power, the talent spell of the mage net: reincarnation and rebirth, and the second talent reincarnation.

For the rest, there was no mana left.

More unexpected.

Another self...... When I was meditating on my own Buddha-figure in my meditation practice, a change suddenly occurred in my mind: the degree of development of the shadow of the previous life and the shadow of the next life...... 51% up. For a long time, these two kinds of Seven Relics of the Last World were only 50% of the state, only existing, not upgrading, and there was no way to upgrade. Today, the Shadow of the Last Life and the Shadow of the Next Life have been raised a little at the same time.

Tang Shidao was strange...... What does this mean?

Shift consciousness a little.

I suddenly found that the other self 'Qin Feng' immediately entered an unconscious coma.

Seems.

I don't have two consciousnesses, and there is only one master of the two bodies.

"Is this the effect of rebirth? Ghost King...... Is she the woman in Tsing Yi? She is the best at reincarnation and rebirth, has she already practiced the spell of reincarnation? No, if that was the case, how could she have died? No, she must be another force...... Dzogchen, or...... Beyond Dzogchen? Tang Shidao pondered, but could not determine what was happening.

Subconsciously open the book of Ouroboros.

Unexpectedly, the ghost king added a name to the page: 魃.

"It's really a ghost king......" Tang Shidao saw this change and immediately determined, the 'entrance ceremony' of the mountains and seas is definitely related to the ghost king. The genius who teased death, only she could be reborn as a real person like this.

I didn't have to think much about it at this time.

Accidental regeneration.

At this time, the other self who was in a coma was found by his companion. This companion is the third hunter in the village: Qin Rui, a friend and team partner in the same village. found his companion, Qin Rui did not rescue, seeing that his old friend was still breathing, he quickly took out the 'beast tooth dagger' and pierced his friend's heart with a fierce blow.

Tang Shidao was speechless when he felt this scene.

Nima.

Memory playback, I fell off the cliff and was also pitted.

"Good brother, don't blame me, I'm just an adopted son, you die, everything you have is mine. If you don't die, I won't have a chance to come out in my life. Qin Rui muttered to himself as he quickly dug a pit. Listening to the call from the mountain, he couldn't help but tremble. At the bottom of this valley, he had already prepared, including the large carrion flower that hid the smell of blood and the carcass of a wild deer.

Just dug the pit.

He was about to throw the body into the pit to hide the traces. At this time, a beast tooth dagger slid through Qin Rui's throat, covering his mouth with one hand, and the dagger stabbed back, hitting Qin Rui's abdomen and kidneys. The pain made him unresponsive, his whole body stiffened, and the blood in his throat spurted his life.

When he fell in the pit.

When I looked sideways, I realized that it was a dead man who killed him: Qin Feng.

Qin Feng...... No, it should be said that Tang Shidao, who died twice, ignored Qin Rui's reaction, quickly buried the pit, and used all Qin Rui's arrangements on him to erase all traces. Then, walking a little further, he picked up the sharp pieces of stones and branches, and scratched a few scars on his body that looked like they had fallen into a valley. At the same time, twist off your ankles and make you unable to move.

Now.

Tang Shidao already knew what the situation was.

Qin Feng fell down and died, because he entered the mountains and seas, and he was 'reborn' on him according to the rules. However, this rebirth includes healing injuries, so the new one himself is unharmed. There is no regular resurrection for the second death, but the mountains and seas have preserved the talent of the mage net, and a reincarnation is reborn.

"It's too weak." Tang Shidao drew his bow, tied a strip of cloth to an arrow, and shot it into a small tree on the edge of the valley cliff.

Just by shooting with all his strength, his arms were already aching.

Sense the whole body.

Now this self is just a well-trained soldier. Actually, it's not enough to be well-trained, because the mountains and seas also have magical energy, so the natural body is strong. Archery skills are not very good, it all depends on feeling, what wind speed, what skills, and what aiming are all blind. On the whole, he is only an ancient martial artist with brute strength and no intelligence.

At that moment just now, Tang Shidao had the idea of 'not resurrecting'.

I thought that I still had a 'totem' slate, so I continued this identity. No matter how weak Qin Feng is, there is another Buddha-figure that he can cultivate. What's more, the degree of unsealing of the Shadow of the Last Life and the Shadow of the Next Life has increased, and this alone is worth wasting time studying.

Half a day later.

"Brother Feng...... Come on, Brother Feng is here. Finally, a group of half-fools found the arrows with strips of cloth on the tree and ran down to save people.

Tang Shidao was very speechless, thinking that it was really an eye-opener for you to be a hunter at your level.

Flip through the memories.

Well, the hunters in Mizutaki Village die every ten days, and there's nothing wrong with it.

The group couldn't even make a stretcher, and they wanted to go back with Tang Shidao on their backs. Tang Shidao really refused, who is lying on you a stinky man. Several of these faithful men were instructed to cut down trees and vines and make a simple stretcher...... The village chief's son is so prestigious, what he says is nothing.

Lying on the stretcher, Tang Shidao still wanted to rest.

Unexpectedly.

A group of curious babies looked at the stretcher and turned over, almost not thinking of themselves as 'fried noodles'.

Tang Shidao smoked a few rattans by himself, and these rammed goods did not stop pumping.

Return to the village.

In fact, this is not a village, it should be said to be a small city. Mizutaki Village is located on a high hill. The top of the mountain is almost hollowed out, and countless caves are connected to form a small city inside the mountain. In order to prevent predators, the entrances to several caves are blocked by rocks. Open every morning and close every night, and when you open and close the door, you will be tired and half dead.

Seeing the hunting party return, the people also cheered. Seeing that there is meat to eat, no one asks who is missing.

These days, it's too normal to go out hunting and not come back.

Just like I remember.

There are a lot of children here, from babies to half-grown teenagers. Every other year, a new group of hunters is added to the team. Die a little, increase a little, and the village will always be able to sustain itself. Because the mountains and seas have magical energy, there is no disease here, and even food poisoning rarely kills, and the poisonous ones of the bold are also eaten.

The people of Shanhai are in good health, and the women are beautiful, but most of them are starving.

Tang Shidao doesn't care about these things for the time being.

The witch doctor straightened the bones and cooked a very medicinal soup...... That's right, drink soup here to heal the sick. Then, the witch doctor asked the village to calm his heart and let Tang Shidao have a good rest, and another cannon fodder for three or five days...... No, another hunter.

"Dad, where's my totem?"

"Under your bed. What are you going to do, didn't you say you can't read and don't feel? "The village elder is quite a tribal leader here, well, he has 237 sons. According to the memory, the old people said: The village chief's father began to find a woman to have children at the age of 15, and now he is still fierce at the age of 65. Because he has a lot of children, he is also a hero in the village.

Most of the first-born babies in this year have credit, both men and women.

Properly.

"I want to see it again now. After a fall, the head seems to understand something. "Don't want to talk nonsense like money.

"Oh, really? You see, look, look, look. "The village chief's father is really not particularly good to anyone, but because he is the second in the village. Replaced by the son of the archery scum, hehe, the wolf is too lazy to chase after it. Hearing that his son's head was opened, the village chief's father immediately took out the totem slate and sent it to Tang Shidao.

Tang Shidao took a look, and sure enough.

Nima.

This is really the primitive cultivation method of totem, and it can also be said to be the primitive form of spells. It hasn't been refined yet, it's still a whole.

For example, this totem in front of you.

Its entire knowledge consists of three spells: Mountain Tiger Transformation, Wind Acceleration, and Wind Sand Formation.

Alternate the concept of archetyping.

This is a mountain tiger beast that can raise wind, sand and dust to sneak up on its prey, and it is very flexible, almost like it has the protection of a strong wind...... There really is such a strange beast in the mountains and seas, and there is one nearby. Thankfully, it has little interest in cannibalism, preferring to eat bird meat.

"It turns out that the totem is this ......" Tang Shidao has been studying totems for a long time, and even has the power of refining furnaces like the 'totem world'.

But.

It was only today that it was truly certain: the prototype of the totem was a combination of spells!
