Chapter 30: The Return of the Old Man
Gloomy skies, blood-red earth.
The crows flying in the sky kept flapping their blood-soaked wings.
The constant fluctuation of Yuan Force forced Gu Shun to open his eyes.
"Is this dream again? ”
Gu Shun looked at a group of people in the distance and muttered to himself.
He felt very comfortable, and this feeling of abundant energy made him feel very comfortable, but at the same time, he also felt upset, because the smell of blood in this dream was so strong.
"Next is this fat black shadow being sent flying, and then "
This dream is too familiar to him, and he knows exactly where the plot will end with the development of the plot.
Because he'd been through the same dream hundreds of times since then.
At that time, why didn't that thing appear when I was fighting with the white robe in the small world?
What made him dream, why
Gu Shun didn't think about it, because he had too many things to think about, and this dream was about to end.
"Okay, the strong black shadow was hit in the abdomen by both of them at the same time, and then it ended. ”
Gu Shun closed his eyes and waited to wake up from his dream.
Half an hour later.
It's still the heavy smell of blood, or the crow's cry.
The dream did not wake up.
"What's going on? It should be over. ”
Gu Shun looked up and looked ahead, the black shadow that had been hit just now was not far from him at this time.
As if sensing his presence, the black shadow slowly turned to look at him, and the two met their eyes.
I saw that the black shadow slowly took on color, becoming clearer and clearer.
Gu Shun's heart was shocked, and his whole person trembled.
This has never happened before, in the previous dream, no matter where Gu Shun is, the dreamer will not feel its existence.
"Ahh
He touched his head, only to realize that he was already covered in a cold sweat and his bedding was soaked.
"I sweated a lot this time"
Gu Shun sat on the bed and began to exercise, he felt much better.
He can already get off the ground and start walking slowly, and the soul power and aura in the small world have also recovered a lot, although he is still a little tired easily, but he feels that his soul power seems to have improved, and the soul power in the small world is slowly becoming fuller.
"Can you transform?" Gu Shun felt a little incredible when he heard the words that came out of Lao He's mouth.
"That's right, you should have felt it last night, too. Lao He nodded, and took the ghost city mother-in-law and Gu Shun to the outside of the house.
This is Lao He's house in the dark domain, this house is very exquisitely repaired, three into the mansion, Lao He took everyone around like a nouveau riche.
Gu Shun raised his eyebrows and said, "Boss, it's so easy to open a noodle restaurant?" ”
"It's a small business, it's okay. Lao He touched his head and said with a smile, "This house is actually not mine, it belongs to my mother-in-law, but I have lived here for a long time." ”
The ghost city mother-in-law said, "I'm familiar with you." ”
Lao He smiled and led everyone to the side of the open space in the middle courtyard.
Coming to the middle of the courtyard, Lao He stretched his muscles and smiled at Gu Shun.
He took an altar and opened it.
A stream of soul power emerged from the altar, and Lao He smiled and said, "This is the soul power gathering I use to practice, you can just watch it later." ”
Then Lao He said to the ghost city mother-in-law with a matter-of-fact manner, "This is also the second time I have run this exercise, the first time I only changed halfway, and I feel that the destructive power is too strong, so today I will use the energy shield of your courtyard to control my power." ”
The ghost city mother-in-law smiled and said, "Lao He, are you so confident?" Then, she took out a bell from her arms and shook it.
Not long after the bell, I saw a maid in Tsing Yi walking in from outside, walking in front of the mother-in-law of the ghost city with a calm expression, and arrived at a Wanfu "Mother-in-law Wanfu!"
The ghost city mother-in-law said, "Tsing Yi, you activate the energy shield now." ”
After hearing this, Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at Gu Shun and Lao He, and said, "Mother-in-law, is this shield a bit overkill if it is activated, this is what we use to resist"
The ghost city's mother-in-law's face sank, and she said to Tsing Yi, "I'll start it if you ask you to start it, don't talk too much." ”
Tsing Yi bowed his head, said another blessing, and retreated.
After a while, a faint shroud of light shrouded the courtyard, and the ghost city mother-in-law took Gu Shun back and stood outside the shroud.
The ghost city mother-in-law said, "Lao He, we are all ready, now it's up to you." ”
Lao He nodded and replied, "Well, you guys pay attention, if you find something wrong, you have to knock me down." ”
The mother-in-law of the ghost city said, "Don't worry, the person who can run out of my shield has not yet appeared." ”
Lao He stood in the middle of the courtyard and began to concentrate and calm down.
Gu Shun silently counted in his heart, one, two, and three were wondering when Lao He hadn't moved yet.
Suddenly, Lao He's mouth opened and made a strange sound.
Next, Lao He's body began to change, his skin began to be affected by some kind of internal force, and began to expand, and an unprecedented soul power began to surge in the energy shield.
Lao He stretched out his right hand and absorbed soul power from the altar, and the spiritual objects in the altar seemed to be very powerful, continuously transmitting soul power to Lao He.
Lao He absorbed enough soul power, and his skin gradually began to change, and another layer of skin soon grew under the surface of his skin, and the original skin seemed to have become the shell of the protective body.
The ghost city mother-in-law nodded at this time: "There are still two hits." ”
As he spoke, Lao He's skin began to crack, and then his clothes began to be torn apart by soul power, his skin began to crack, and new skin began to emerge from his body, and streams of soul power began to flow out from his skin.
As the muscles continued to turn, Lao He's body was also getting bigger, and the muscles that were turned out covered the surface of his body, like layers of armor, and began to accumulate on the surface of his body.
Gu Shun felt that Lao He at this time had changed a lot from the previous Lao He, but he hadn't felt the specific changes.
"What's going on?" Ghost City's mother-in-law began to feel uneasy, she saw that Lao He's face and eyebrows were shining with green light, and the shape of his face had also changed, and his image gradually became less human-like.
"How is it?" Lao He was in the transformation, he saw the change in the eyes of the ghost city mother-in-law and Gu Shun, "I stopped at this stage before, you have to pay attention later." ”
"Drink!" Lao He yelled again, "Change!"
Click, Lao He's body skin turned out faster and faster.
"This is just the first layer of the hundred ghost body and soul power quenching body. ”
Lao He's body kept changing, and then, his entire skin began to flip, and his body began to change.
The skin seemed to have turned into his armor and shell, enveloping him and sending out a constant blast.
Lao He's clothes have been torn entirely, and his skin is his outer armor.
The whole person of the ghost city mother-in-law seemed to be attracted by Lao He's changes, she looked at Lao He and began to keep grasping her clothes.
"Golem!"
A female voice came from behind the ghost city mother-in-law, it turned out to be Tsing Yi who came in just now, she saw the change in Lao He, and her face became bloodless, just frightened.
"Tsing Yi, hurry back to the room!" "Ghost City's mother-in-law shouted angrily behind her, "Strengthen the power of the shield." ”
Tsing Yi hurriedly ran back, her face bloodless, already stunned by the scene she had just seen.
"I didn't expect the power of transformation to be so terrifying. The ghost city mother-in-law muttered, "The first layer of their cultivation has reached such a powerful level, is there a more powerful change?"
Gu Shun looked at Lao He's transformed appearance and frowned.
That appearance can no longer be called a human, but a kind of puppet-like appearance, no, it should be somewhere between a puppet and a human, the outside of the body has been condensed into armor from the skin, and it looks like a powerful warrior, wearing heavy armor, which makes people feel weird.
Lao He's body has already sent out a huge change, from the skin he turned over seems to exude a special power, this powerful force released an impact from Lao He's body, the impact of the force is extremely strong, from the center to all sides.
This impact force burned all the trees in the protective shield, and the ground seemed to have been plowed over, and was dented into the shape of a pit by the powerful impact, and the ground was burned black, and even Lao and his own body were ignited with soul power flames.
The ghost city mother-in-law was also taken aback, seeing that the protective shield was a little unstable under the impact of Lao He's soul power, she hurriedly shouted to Lao He, "Okay, okay, stop it." ”
Over there, Lao He's state also slowly stabilized, his transformation had been basically completed, and he stood there, motionless.
Gu Shun looked at Lao He, and at this time, Lao He couldn't see his original appearance at all.
The heavy brown armor covered the whole body, and the blue lines that grew from the tip of the nose passed through the ears, forming a huge horn at the back of the head, and a one-inch-long ghost face grew from the Shenting acupoint, which looked eerie.
"This is the transformation state of the hundred ghosts?" Over there, Gu Shun looked at Lao He's changes and was inexplicably surprised.
Lao He was still motionless, and the soul power flame on his skin was gradually fading, but the soul power contained in it was still extremely powerful, squeezing the protective shield.
"Okay, Lao He, let's change back. The ghost city mother-in-law felt that the protective shield seemed to be unable to withstand the impact of soul power anymore, for fear that the protective shield she had worked so hard to make would be shattered under the impact of Lao He, and she already regretted not making a stronger protective shield.
Over there, "Lao He" suddenly raised his head, although he couldn't see his eyes, he could still feel his gaze, his eyes carried a huge power, looking at the ghost city mother-in-law and Gu Shun, a chill and shock rose from the bottom of the ghost city mother-in-law and Gu Shun's heart.
Slowly, the flame on "Lao He's" body seemed to be slowly extinguishing, and the energy of his body was slowly decreasing, he looked at the ghost city mother-in-law and Gu Shun, and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, I've only studied to this extent, and now I don't know how to change back." ”
"Lao He, you're not kidding, are you?"
"Boss, you're not kidding. ”
The ghost city mother-in-law and Gu Shun spoke at the same time.
Lao He laughed out loud over there, and seemed to be very satisfied with the reaction of the two, and the laughter passed through the protective shield and pierced into the ears of the ghost city mother-in-law and Gu Shun, only to feel that the harshness was abnormal.
"Alright, alright. The ghost city mother-in-law hurriedly waved her hand, "Lao He, Boss He, if you joke like this again, I will be angry." ”
"I'm controlling the state after the transformation, and now I'm using the Hundred Ghost Copying Exercises, you guys wait a minute. ”
Lao He's voice seemed to be tearing through the air, looking dull and boring.
After a while, Lao He's body over there slowly changed again, his body, to be precise, his skin, seemed to produce a kind of suction, constantly absorbing the soul power outside, and with the inhalation of soul power, his skin gradually tightened.
Lao He's horns are also shrinking, and the ghost face begins to retreat into his body, and as Lao He's skin gradually turns out to the inside, his body is also returning to normal.
In this way, the ghost city mother-in-law and Gu Shun watched for a long time, and finally, Lao He changed back again.
Gu Shun estimated that it took about half a cup of tea from the normal state to the completion of the transformation, but from the transformation to the normal state, Lao He used more than one cup of tea.
"It's not easy. Lao He finally returned to normal, he looked at the pit on the ground that was broken by the impact, and couldn't help but be startled, "I didn't expect the transformation of the hundred ghosts to be so powerful, if I had used the transformation earlier, the white robe would not be my opponent at all." ”
"If you can successfully transform into a state of consciousness, then I really underestimate you. The ghost city mother-in-law said disdainfully, then took out the bell from her arms and shook it, "Tsing Yi!"
The woman in Tsing Yi ran over and couldn't help but be startled when she saw the state of the yard.
"Turn the shield off!" said the ghost city's mother-in-law.
Over there, Tsing Yi closed the protective shield and ran in again, "Mother-in-law, this yard"
The ghost city mother-in-law looked at the yard and yelled at Lao He, "Lao He, you have to compensate for my yard!"
"Alas, what a nuisance to women. Lao He looked at the yard helplessly, and then nodded, "It's indeed a mess." ”
That night, Lao He taught Gu Shun the tricks and exercises of the transformation of the hundred ghosts, and Gu Shun listened very carefully and asked some questions from time to time.
Lao He said, "In fact, the biggest feature of transformation is that the entire inner soul power is spread outward, plus the exercises of a hundred ghosts, which can increase the skills of ordinary people by more than ten times at once, which is indeed very powerful, but it is necessary to pay attention to control it well, and you need to practice constantly." ”
"Ten times? ”
"It's a bit exaggerated, but the hundred ghosts are really strong, and it's only a matter of time before it's tenfold. Lao He said proudly.
Gu Shun didn't look at Lao He, he lowered his head and thought.
"Hmm, what's wrong, what else don't you understand?" Lao He patted Gu Shun on the shoulder.
"Boss, you said that cultivating the Hundred Ghost Copy will be affected by various factors, and if you are not careful, you will go astray" Gu Shun raised his head and looked at Lao He seriously, "What is the difference between your current appearance and aura and that of a puppet." ”
Lao He hesitated, he also thought a lot, after knowing that the Hundred Ghost Copy was an exercise that was modified according to the characteristics of the puppet, should he continue to practice this exercise? An extremely strong sense of revenge urged him to continue cultivating, but when it finally came to the point where his body was also changed, he was shaken.
He turned his back and sighed heavily, "Last night, I thought a lot, and I came up with only one result."
"If you want to defeat him completely, you have to become him first. ”
Gu Shun didn't speak, it seemed that the explanation given by Lao He was not so firm.
"Okay, you've been here for so long, it's better to go back early, so as not to worry the family, let's go." Lao He turned around and patted Gu Shun's back and motioned for him to leave.
Gu Shun took out something from his arms and put it on the head of the bed, and walked out with Lao He.
The two packed up their things and met the ghost city mother-in-law.
"You're leaving, Gu Shun will stay for a few more days, the old man and Tsing Yi have lived for a long time, and they are still a little lonely. ”
Gu Shun smiled and arched his hand to the ghost city mother-in-law, "Thank you mother-in-law for your hospitality this time, Gu Shun is grateful." The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows forever. Mother-in-law, we'll see you later!"
Lao He touched his head, "I'm sure I'll see you again, I'll always come." ”
The ghost city mother-in-law sneered and said, "Don't come, as soon as you come, my yard will have to be repaired again, and when people come, they think I'm making some gunpowder weapons! ”
Tsing Yi on the side also covered his mouth with a smile.
Lao He smiled awkwardly and left with Gu Shun.
At night, the ghost market mother-in-law cleaned up the bed, turned her eyes, saw the things on the bedside, and laughed, "What a good boy, not very old, and a lot of thoughts." ”
She shook the bell and called Tsing Yi in, "Take these ten taels of gold to the library." ”
Lao He carried the burden as usual, Gu Shun followed behind him, and the two of them embarked on the journey back one after the other.
After walking for a long time, Gu Shun only felt that the scenery around him was changing rapidly, it seemed that Lao He and himself were walking much faster than usual, and the surrounding scenery seemed to be like a phantom, not very clear and vague.
Gu Shun silently calculated, and walked for about an hour, when suddenly the surrounding scenery began to become clear, and Gu Shun felt that his current walking speed seemed to have returned to normal.
Lao He stopped in front of a house, he turned to Gu Shun and said, "Gu Shun, now you are home." ”
Gu Shun looked up, and sure enough, he returned to his house.
Gu Shun was about to enter the door, but was stopped by Lao He.
"Gu Shun, if I fall into the devil, I mean if there is such a day. Lao He paused and continued, "You don't need to pull me out, just kill me." ”
"If that's your answer, then I'll do it. Gu Shun did not hesitate and said it straightforwardly.
Lao He continued, "If you fall into the devil, I will do the same. ”
Gu Shun turned around and entered the mansion, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had already received the answer he wanted.
