Chapter 387: The Mysterious Old Man
"What the hell is this?" Gu Chen looked at his left arm and couldn't help frowning.
At the beginning, he had used his soul power to check his left arm, but there was no abnormality in the internal meridians, flesh and blood, and bones, but there was just a black line on the skin.
Who knew that the outbreak at this time would have such serious consequences, the left arm had completely lost consciousness, and the yuan force in the body would no longer circulate after entering the left arm, as if it had been sucked into a bottomless abyss.
And even if Gu Chen tried his best to control the flow of Yuan Li, Yuan Li would still flow to his left arm unconsciously.
If this continues, Gu Chen is afraid that he will die due to the exhaustion of Yuan power.
Gu Chen secretly said in his heart: Do you have to cut off your own arm?
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Chen's Yuan Force consumption had already exceeded half.
Just when he made up his mind and took out the Heavenly Dao Sword and wanted to slash at his left arm, his left arm stopped absorbing the Yuan Force.
Gu Chen couldn't help but stop and put the Heavenly Dao Sword back away.
Then, Gu Chen concentrated his mind and once again used his soul power to reach out to his left arm.
This time, Gu Chen found that the meridians of his left arm were nearly twice as wide as his right arm, and there was an extra black spar at the arm bone.
Then, I saw that the black lines on Gu Chen's left arm slowly faded, and after a while, it disappeared without a trace, and the left arm was no different from the right arm from the outside.
Since Gu Chen was not only looking at the skin of his left arm with his eyes just now, but also observing the inside of his left arm with his soul power, he found that those black lines were actually absorbed by the black spar in his arm bone.
"It seems that all these changes are caused by that black spar, what is this thing?" Gu Chen suddenly fell into thought.
At this time, Gu Chen tried to control his left arm, but found that his left arm had completely returned to normal and was flexible.
Moreover, as if containing infinite power, Gu Chen felt that he could penetrate the refined steel with one punch.
Gu Chen mobilized the Yuan Force in his body, gathered it on his left arm, and then punched out in the air.
After a burst of breaking wind, the furious Yuan Force came out with Gu Chen's fist, and it actually leveled the dense forest thousands of meters in front of him.
"Hiss~" Gu Chen couldn't help but gasp.
A punch in his hand is so powerful, if he uses a heaven-level martial art, wouldn't he even be able to lose the hill in the distance?
Gu Chen couldn't help but wonder, is the change in his left arm good or bad? At present, it seems that it is not bad for me, but it has increased a lot of strength.
But the black hedron is so weird, how the hell did it end up in my arm?
Since the origin of the black spar was unknown, Gu Chen still didn't dare to be careless, and always kept an eye on its changes.
At the same time, I also want to find out its origin as soon as possible.
Just as Gu Chen was about to go back to the Pantheon Sect to check the information, a trace of vigilance suddenly appeared in his heart.
Suddenly, a flower appeared in front of Gu Chen's eyes, and a rickety figure appeared not far away.
Gu Chen suddenly frowned, cautiously took a few steps back, and at the same time summoned the Heavenly Dao Sword and held it in his hand.
It was an old man dressed in sackcloth, with messy hair, tattered clothes, and a wrinkled face.
But Gu Chen knew that this person was by no means simple, he could appear quietly, which meant that he had a very powerful cultivation.
Moreover, Gu Chen couldn't see through this person's cultivation, either he was at least a master above the Holy Realm, or he was ...... Not people!
"Who is Your Excellency, I don't know what you are doing?" asked Gu Chen to the old man.
The old man smiled suddenly, and then said, "My name has long been forgotten. As for why I'm here, I'll have to ask you!"
"Oh, what does Your Excellency mean by this?" Gu Chen asked suspiciously, secretly saying in his heart, could it be that he was attracted by the movement of my fist test? But this place has no belonging, it does not belong to any force, and it is only the turn of our Pantheistic Sect to take care of it, so why should he worry about it?
"You have demonic energy in you!" the old man stared at Gu Chen's eyes and said with a straight face.
"Demonic Qi?" Gu Chen frowned, then waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency is mistaken, right?
"This demon is not another demon! I am talking about a demon, not a demon gate, but a demon clan!" the old man shook his head and said.
Gu Chen was taken aback, how could this person know about the Demon Clan? Moreover, the Demon Clan had not appeared in Tianyuan for thousands of years, how could he recognize the Demon Qi? Could it be that he was talking nonsense? How could I have Demon Qi on my body?
The old man said again: "You don't have to wonder, you do have demonic energy in you, but I know that it doesn't belong to you! So I won't do anything to you, it's just that if you don't find a way to dissolve that demonic energy, I'm afraid you will be assimilated into a demon." ”
"Could it be that the senior is talking about the black spar in my arm?" Gu Chen couldn't help but ask the old man, Gu Chen felt that this person was unfathomable, and he was not hostile to himself, so he changed his name and called him senior.
"Oh, I'll take a look!" When the old man heard this, he suddenly became interested, his figure flashed, and suddenly appeared in front of Gu Chen, and grabbed Gu Chen's left arm.
Gu Chen was suddenly shocked, he didn't have time to react before he was approached by him! Who is he sacred? Xiao Moyan, the little sword immortal, may not have this strength, right?
Is there still a hidden master in this world who is at the same level as the Sword Immortal, the Buddha, and the Sword Emperor?
The old man grabbed Gu Chen's left arm with one hand and stroked his beard with the other.
After a while, the old man let go of Gu Chen's hand, his expression was slightly solemn, and he muttered in his mouth: "How can there be a demon core? Isn't this thing the source of the power of the demon race, how can it appear on the human race?"
What is that?
Gu Chen was puzzled when he heard the old man's whisper.
"Little guy, tell me, how did this thing appear?" the old man suddenly asked Gu Chen curiously.
Gu Chen was called "little guy" by him, and he was suddenly a little unnatural.
It's been a long time since I've been called so rude, right?
"Uh, I don't know how it appeared!" Gu Chen said with a confused expression.
"I'm not joking with you, this matter is very important!" the old man suddenly looked at him and said solemnly.
Gu Chen couldn't help but get serious and thought about it carefully, but he still couldn't think of why, so he had to devour himself and devour his inner demons, and then the strange lines on his arms appeared, and then explained everything that happened just now to the old man word for word.
After hearing this, the corners of the old man's mouth twitched, he looked at Gu Chen with a strange expression, and said, "You kid is really bold, others avoid the demons in their hearts, you are good, you dare to devour it?"
"I can't help it, there was only one way to destroy it at that time, if there was another way, I wouldn't dare to take the risk!" Gu Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The old man suddenly said to himself with a puzzled face: "It's strange to say this, the demon is just a strange creature produced by the combination of the evil thoughts in the heart of the human heart and the negative forces in the world, how can it have nothing to do with the demon race, why did the demon core give birth?"
"Unless, your inner demon has made people move their hands and feet!" the old man suddenly looked directly into Gu Chen's eyes and said.
Gu Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, clapped his hands and said: "That's right! It's the Buddha! When he was in the Dry Bone Wasteland, he once attacked my Pantheist people, and at that time, my inner demons were almost triggered, and the other people of the Pantheistic Sect were also in an illusion!"
"Buddha, with his cultivation, you can really ...... Besides, the Wasteland of Dry Bones is in the right place!, but what does he want to do?" the old man muttered to himself.
"Do you know anything from the seniors?" Gu Chen said to the old man.
"You're Gu Chen, right?" the old man asked suddenly.
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's Gu Chen down there!"
"Count it up, you are kind to me, I will help you today!" said the old man with a smile.
Gu Chen was immediately puzzled, I was kind to him, how could I not know that I had helped such a top master?
"Who is the senior?" asked Gu Chen tentatively.
"You'll know then, now, I'll not say it for the time being!" the old man showed a playful smile and said to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen was speechless for a moment, since he didn't want to say it, he simply didn't say anything, it was really unpleasant to say only half of it like this.
"As the leader of the Pantheistic Sect, you must already know that the passage to the Demon Continent is in the Dry Bone Wasteland, right?" the old man asked Gu Chen.
"Yes, the Sword Immortal has already said it. Gu Chen nodded and said.
The old man said slowly: "Presumably, the Buddha already knew the exact location of the passage at that time, and injected a trace of demonic energy overflowing from the passage into your inner demon, so it will make your inner demon mutate." After the heart demon is devoured by you, the demonic energy in it is hidden in your left arm, and then by continuously absorbing your yuan power, it finally condenses the demon core that only demons can have. ”
Gu Chen's face suddenly became very ugly, he didn't expect the Buddha Venerable to be so vicious, even if he didn't like the Pantheistic Sect, then there was no need to target himself like this, right?
"Then what effect does this demon core have on me?" Gu Chen couldn't help asking.
The old man said with a solemn face: "If it is a demon race, the demon core can naturally provide him with magic power and become stronger and stronger, but you are a human race, and the demon core has only one effect on you, and that is to enhance the power of your body." Only the left arm has been strengthened now, but it will definitely affect your whole body slowly in the future. But this is only a benefit! The disadvantage is that you are a human race, and the magic core will continue to devour your yuan power into magic power and feed back into your body, over time, your yuan power will gradually be replaced by magic power, but you have no magic power to manipulate it, and you can't use these powers. Moreover, your body and your mind will gradually become demonized, becoming as fierce and brutal as the demons, and gradually losing their humanity. ”
Gu Chen's face turned pale suddenly, he didn't want to become a demon.
"Then if I cut off my left arm directly, won't it be affected anymore?" Gu Chen stared at the old man's eyes and asked him.
"A strong man has a broken wrist, and his courage is commendable!" the old man couldn't help laughing, and then continued: "But you think too simply, once the demon core appears, it will not leave your body unless you die. Even if you cut off your left arm, it will lock onto your body again and go to the rest of your body. ”
Gu Chen couldn't help but want to scold his mother, what the is this, it's so evil?
"But don't worry too much, I said I would help you!" the old man suddenly laughed.
Gu Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed to the old man: "Please also ask the seniors to save you!"
"You sit down!" the old man said to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen sat cross-legged when he heard this.
Then the old man came to Gu Chen's left side and sat down, facing Gu Chen's left shoulder.
Then, the old man stretched out his hands, grabbed Gu Chen's shoulders with one hand, and grabbed Gu Chen's wrists with the other.
Gu Chen only felt a very powerful force surging into his left arm from his shoulder and wrist.
Gradually, Gu Chen felt that his left arm was as uncomfortable as a fire, his body couldn't help but tremble, and beads of sweat the size of beans continued to drip from his forehead.
"Hold back, don't resist!" At this time, the old man reminded Gu Chen.
