Chapter 418: Heading to Jimo?
"There's light ahead, well, I can see the outline of the city...... Looks like we're already in the green! Pei Chen, who was sitting on the bow of the Qingzhu boat and reaching out from time to time to tease a few underwater monsters and big fish, squinted his eyes slightly and looked ahead, there was no fog at night when he returned, and it seemed that the fog was only visible in one direction. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
But he still felt that in an instant, he and the others seemed to have passed through a thin, imperceptible barrier, and in the blink of an eye, the composition of the air around him had changed unusually obviously—from an extremely eerie and rich ghost aura to an ordinary atmosphere, and even a relatively strong moisture and fishy smell peculiar to the water environment.
This is that he has crossed the realm of life and death, and returned to the yang world from the country of yin! Recalling the feeling of the space barrier he had just passed, Pei Chen looked thoughtful, and the monsters under the water also disappeared without a trace in an instant, if this is not a return to the Yang World, Pei Chen didn't believe it, could it be that there were any other possibilities?
Returning Yang ......
The corners of Uncle Han Beikuang, who was holding the boat at the stern, twitched a few times. This is not dead and resurrected, these guys in front of them simply ran into the ghost world as living people, and then returned to the yang world with a living breath, right? This is really a rare feat, although it is not unprecedented or unprecedented, but it is not a common thing in the ghost world.
It's just that......
Returning Yang ...... This word is really bold enough, and there is no evasion at all!
He sighed, wisely not saying anything. The three people in front of him obviously had something to do with King Yama Qin Guang of the first hall of the underworld, otherwise, that Yama would not have deliberately arranged for him to squat on the River Styx at the end of the exile abyss and wait. It's just that even if he knew something, he had to forget about it completely, otherwise......
The gap between the strength of the two sides is too big!! You don't have to murder yourself, as long as you find a reason to throw yourself into the reincarnation well, isn't it the six reincarnations and the forgetfulness of your previous life?
Uncle Han Beikuang sighed helplessly, lowered his head and didn't speak or make a sound, and even the wide edge of the hat on his head was pressed very low, not letting the three people in front of him see his appearance.
But fortunately, while he was cautious, the other party didn't seem to be interested in such a little ghost as him at all, and he didn't even ask a word along the way - although it was very rude to say this, Uncle Han wished that the other party was so ignorant of himself.
It's not that he's afraid that he's forced to be ordered to reincarnate, to be honest, it's been more than ten years since he came to the ghost world since he died, and no matter how much he floats around in the underworld, he should have been caught and thrown into the well of reincarnation. It's just that their clan robbed tombs and disturbed the dead during their lifetimes, and after their deaths, they naturally had to do hard labor in the ghost world to pay for their sins......
He didn't know about the other clansmen, but if it was him, he would probably need to continue to support the green bamboo boat and ferry on the River Styx for about twenty or thirty years.
It's just that although he doesn't reject reincarnation, after overhearing what these people said just now, he was still shocked, and felt that he was absolutely obliged and necessary to convey those news to his niece, so 'Han Beikuang' can't 'die', if it is reincarnated, it will be another person completely...... It's just that it's really 'everything has a fate', and I didn't expect that the trouble I encountered casually in the ghost world would be related to my little niece.
Uncle Han Beikuang's eyes flashed with complicated emotions, and he hurriedly lowered his head again.
It's just that what he didn't notice was that the moment he lowered his head, the black-haired young man in green clothes and blood-eyed people in front of him happened to look back at his performance, and then showed a strange expression of satisfaction and then turned his head back, but he didn't find anything.
Soon, the green bamboo boat slowly docked. It seemed to be morning, and there were sparse people coming and going on the docks.
The people near the ferry didn't seem to notice that there was such a strange ghost ship approaching at all, and they didn't care at all, and even when their eyes came by accident, they only swept by, and didn't focus on everyone for half a second - although Pei Chen had always hated the strange eyes of others, so his demonic aura had almost never stopped misleading others' perceptions, but this situation that he couldn't even notice was definitely none of his business.
-- He only misleads the perception of others, not blocks the perception of others.
Then the only explanation should be: ordinary people in the Yang world can't see the process of returning from the ghost world at all, right?
After the three of them went ashore, the people around the ferry finally discovered their existence, but they didn't seem to be able to notice that the three people appeared out of thin air at all, and they didn't show the corresponding surprised looks, at most, because the clothing style of the three people was a little out of place with this era, so they couldn't help but take a few more looks.
The sky in Xudu seems to be so dull and depressing forever, but it definitely has too much yang energy than the underworld, and it is much better. From Yin Si to Yang Shi, from death to life, even these three apostles, who have had enough experience, still can't help but feel a little touched, standing quietly on the dock and watching the green bamboo boat turn around and leave.
The shrine maiden's eyes were confused, and Nayako's eyes were confused.
Only Pei Chen didn't know why, and after going ashore, he suddenly felt stunned for some reason, and then shook his head and didn't say anything, just watched with clear eyes After the shadow of the green bamboo boat disappeared again at the end of the spacious river, he turned around and extended his mind and began to search the entire capital city.
Such a seemingly ordinary action made the two people behind him wake up in shock and frown at the same time, with strange expressions. Naiako looked at Pei Chen's back, and suddenly asked the witch in a strange low voice, "That...... Do you feel that Instant-kun seems to be a little different from just now? I can't say what it is, but I just feel like it's changed......"
Her little face was a little distressed, as if she wanted to find a better adjective to describe her feelings, but the effect was obviously not ideal.
Kikyo frowned, and slowly bowed his head: "That's true, after going ashore, the feeling has changed......" Her face became a little solemn, and she shook her head bitterly, the most terrifying thing is that this is a subtle little by little thing that even the personality and style have gradually changed, if it weren't for the fact that both of them belong to the more sensitive kind of people, I'm afraid I can't even notice such a little change.
This is not a normal change with the accumulation of time, if it is tens of hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of years, the two characters who are almost completely different before and after belong to normal development, but Pei Chen's current problem is that his inexplicable personality performance has suddenly changed a little bit, the process of change is very abrupt, and the magnitude of the change is very weak......
The most important thing is that he himself seems to have a sense of taking it for granted.
-- It's like no one grows up and feels that something is wrong because they know a lot more than they did when they were younger. Unfortunately, most people are not able to distinguish the fundamental difference between 'growth' and 'change', after all, the nature of the two is too similar.
Unaware that the two teammates behind him were beginning to feel that their illness was at an advanced stage, Pei Chen determined the location of Baili Tusu in less than half a second, which was at the city gate not far away, and it was less than a hundred meters away from the corner. He turned around and smiled and beckoned to the two to follow, and the two girls, one older and one small, could only look at each other and follow.
What else can be done about this matter other than taking a long-term view?
Who told this guy to die like this and swallowed all the earth spirit beads, and most of the true spirit and power of the earth spirit demon god, one of the five spirit demon gods, are now dormant in his body, waiting for the opportunity to move. If you can successfully return to the infinite space, then everything is fine, and you can choose to clear the negative consciousness and leave the pure earth spirit power...... I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait until I return to the infinite space and it will explode!
That's trouble.
……
……
"Yo, Brother Baili, I haven't seen you for a long time, you can finally come out and walk in the wind?"
Seeing Baili Tu Su and the four newcomers at the city gate from a distance, Pei Chen instantly switched to that hearty smile on his face, and even the things that he had been thinking about in his mind were temporarily put down.
"Haha, long time no see...... it! You've eaten gold?! Baili Tu Su also greeted him with a smile on his face, but only a few steps forward he keenly sensed the suppressed and blocked aura on Pei Chen's body, like an active volcano that could erupt at any time, and his eyes suddenly widened.
- I'll you! It seems that it has only been half a month since the front and back acted separately, this guy still killed some boss or did an epic task after eating the experience pill, which led to a continuous promotion of twenty levels or something? Why did you suddenly get so much stronger?!
"Ahem, how could a person like me go to eat Jin Kela, it's like this: that, I filled up a diamond VIP a few days ago, and then I got an orange outfit...... Don't look at me like that, think about it, will you become stronger if you don't charge money? Pei Chen touched his nose and said in a somewhat uncertain tone, but the others could still hear at once that he was just joking and complaining.
"Oh, I remember, you said it before...... You can't have completely refined the Earth Spirit Bead, right? Baili Tu Su was at a loss for a moment, and then reacted quickly, suddenly realized, and patted Pei Chen's shoulder, "I haven't been taken away yet, that's enough to boast about......"
Hearing this, Pei Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes, and his stomach scolded: But isn't it, the heyday of the Five Spirit Demon God is undoubtedly a six-star existence, even if it is made into equipment, and joining the Five Spirit Bead Deluxe Package should be a five-star power. But until now, he has not completely occupied the body of a three- or four-star monster, and he is undoubtedly afraid of the will of the killing stone and the assimilation and devouring ability of the mutated snake bloodline......
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many messy things in the body, and various wills checked and balanced each other, I am afraid that I would have been hanging for a while.
"yes, so I've got to figure it out...... To be honest, it doesn't matter if the killing stone is alive, after all, the will of the Nine-Tails is not complete, and it is more just the instinctive action of the divided soul intent...... But the Earth Spirit Bead is different, this thing actually has a self-independent and complete spirituality, I always feel uneasy if I don't kill it! ”
Pei Chen scratched his cheeks and said with a headache, the more he used the power of the earth spirit, the more he felt that the power penetrated deeper into his existence, but this kind of fit was not a good thing. Because it is likely that it is the same assimilation and erosion as the Killing Stone, the fallen evil spirit physique can better awaken the will to resurrect the Nine-Tails...... In the same way, the refined Earth Spirit Bead may also be like this, wanting to transform Pei Chen's physique to fit the power of the Earth Spirit Demon God and then better take away and be reborn.
The monster strangely found that after he said those words to Baili Tusu, the bellflower and Naiako behind him actually breathed a sigh of relief.
- Fortunately, this man is not so careless, completely unaware.
"Oh, look at you...... Did you think of something? Baili Tu Su found that although Pei Chen's expression was distressed, there was no panic or confusion in it, and he obviously had an idea in his heart, and he immediately became curious.
Pei Chen smiled slightly, and said pointedly: "It's very simple, when there is a demon living in your house, and you don't have the strength to fight it for the time being, what is your best solution?" I don't think I'll have to let another demon in if I can't give up the house......"
Baili Tusu's eyes lit up slightly, and then he smiled and said, "I ignored such an obvious hint...... You said before that you wanted to seek the Water Spirit Bead for this purpose, right?! ”
"Haha, where...... There's just no way to do it...... Belch. Pei Chen, who was just about to say a few words of triumphant politeness, suddenly felt two cold lines of sight behind him cut his back like a knife, but the next words were speechless.
Well, that's getting carried away! Except for Nayako's chaotic nature that likes to take risks on her own and like to take risks on others, Kikyo doesn't seem to approve of such a method anyway!!
"Ahem, this method is a way out of the question, I won't use it until the last moment......" hurriedly reiterated his bottom line, and then Pei Chen changed the topic slightly eagerly and said, "By the way, how are these newcomers?" It doesn't look like there's any spirit, is it so difficult to get started with the Immortal Dao? ”
“……”
Baili Tu Su's eyes looked at Pei Chen and the witch behind him for a long time, and then he put his eyes on the silver-haired and blue-eyed girl Nayarathotep who was snickering, and then said leisurely:
"Of course, it is difficult to get started with the Immortal Dao, but it is not so difficult...... It's like we have a data-based character model, as long as you have a skill book, you can directly learn the corresponding abilities and knowledge, although at the beginning you can only use it mechanically, and the formulaic routine is serious, but if you use it more, you will be able to practice to make perfect, and gradually get rid of the limitations of skill data......"
"Then how did they ......?"
When Pei Chen was about to ask clearly, his words were interrupted by Baili Tu Su shaking his head: "Because there is no skill book, the skill learning mechanism provided by the space is useless, so they can only rely on my oral teaching to master their own cultivation." Among the eight sects of Kunlun, Tian Yong and Lang Feng mainly focus on refining qi and cultivating Neidan...... The basic mental formula I taught them is only a hundred words, and if you comprehend the true meaning, you will be able to master the entry and achieve the first 'entry into the Dao' of the sixteen realms of Taoism, and it is estimated that their main task will be roughly completed by then......"
"It's a pity that since the main quest doesn't need to be practiced by hands-on fighting, then the difficulty must be in another aspect...... If it weren't for the existence of infinite space, it would be okay to practice Taoist health skills, but it would be impossible to cultivate immortals and cultivate the Dao......" Baili Tu Su seemed to deliberately stimulate a few newcomers behind him, and he made a big statement there, not caring at all that the faces of the four people behind him were getting worse and worse.
In addition, the ancient language is obscure to them, and although people in this era cannot speak, there is a difference between written and spoken language...... They couldn't even memorize that mental mantra, let alone understand the true meaning of it, and then follow that instruction to cultivate......
In this regard, Pei Chen could only look at the four newcomers behind Baili Tu Su with a look of pity and sympathy. It's been half a month, and although they won't be in danger as long as they settle down a little, there is no progress.
Judging from Pei Chen's eyes, the newcomers in the first mission with him at the beginning are estimated to have mastered some special skills in melee or long-range combat on the third day, and they also dare to enter the Blood Wasteland to find trouble with those hedgehog-like man-eating rats or junior sinking demons who like to get together-
If there is a fight, although no one will survive except himself in that trial mission, those newcomers will be able to beat all the four newcomers in front of them one by one. In fact, there is not much difference in combat effectiveness, at least not to the extent of one to four, but one side has a sense of battle and combat experience, and the other side can't even do such a task as studying...... Hehe.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, anyway, there is still time, let's take care of them slowly in the future!" Finding that Baili Tu Su seemed to have a tendency to talk endlessly, Pei Chen hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "What are you going to do?" Since it's a downhill experience, you should have plenty of time and freedom to dispose of, right? ”
Baili Tu Su was stunned for a moment, and then pinched his chin with a deep expression.
"My promotion task is only the last step, which is the results of the things I made during the training, and I will further evaluate the completion when I return to the mountain gate...... I'm going to do it with the main story, and if I can't hit what I want in this mission, then I'll bind this world to my own world and then explore it slowly...... Hmm, Brother Pei, next I plan to rush to Jimo in the East China Sea, contact Yuntianhe and them and cut into the main plot, what do you think? ”
"What do I think?" Pei Chen couldn't react for a while.
"It's just that I'm going to do the main plot brush task evaluation, if you don't want to go, Brother Pei, these four people will ask you to take care of it temporarily, it's best to be able to give me some more identity certificates, so that we can get involved in relationships and other things, in that case, with the help of the friendship foundation you laid before, I should be able to undertake it more smoothly......" Baili Tu Su said without thinking. (To be continued.) )
