18. The fire of the copper furnace
It's dark.
The flames that ignited out of nowhere kept burning, and Lan Jiuge's blue and white school uniform was scorched, and he used his spiritual power to protect it so that it didn't burn out of the hole. However, he soon discovered that for every additional point of this strange flame, his spiritual power increased.
Lan Jiu Ge's eyes froze, and it seemed that this was the inside of the copper furnace. But I'm a living person, and I'm not dead, so why was I sucked into the copper furnace?
Now that he has entered the copper furnace, Lan Jiu Ge no longer bothered about anything, and meditated quietly in the furnace.
Suddenly, a strange cold power erupted, and the strange flames in the copper furnace were also frozen. Lan Jiu Ge was a little strange, he could feel that this cold power seemed to come from his body. Sure enough, with a wave of Lan Jiuge's hand, the ice thawed.
This should be the absolute zero prop, right?
At this time, a wave of drowsiness hit, and Lan Jiu Ge was still trying to stay awake at first, but his eyelids were fighting more and more, and finally he fell asleep directly against the wall of the stove.
He hadn't slept for the past few days, and the others had already fallen asleep, but he had been struggling. Finally got a safe (?) Lan Jiuge's forced drowsiness came up again.
It was probably the longest he'd ever slept on.
……
In the psychic array, the priests enthusiastically discussed the origin of this "quasi-desperate ghost king", and some priests ...... emm, they're gambling.
"I bet 100,000 merits, this one will definitely break out of the furnace and become the fourth desperate ghost king."
"Tsk, I don't think he can get out."
"Oops, who just said they were going to gamble, stand up!" Lingwen, who had two dark circles under his eyes, slapped the table angrily.
For a while, there was silence in the psychic array. After a while, someone cautiously asked, "That...... Lord Lingwen, do you have any information about this quasi-desperate ghost king? ”
It's okay not to ask about this, but I have a headache when I ask about this Lingwen. The Lingwen Hall has been in operation for many years, and there has never been a situation where the target person is unknown. The ghost (?) It's as if he suddenly appeared in the Copper Furnace Mountain, and then competed for the "Desperate Ghost King".
In a fit of anger, Lingwen posted the task of "Investigating the Quasi-Desperate Ghost King" in the array, and those who got the news were rewarded with millions of merits. After all, another desperate ghost king is not a trivial matter.
The priests of Xianjing were overjoyed, some asked their followers to find it in the dream realm, some sent the priests of the Middle Heavenly Court to explore, and some even let the clones slip to the lower realm to inquire about the news in the human world, ghost markets and other places, but they all found nothing.
Time passed day by day, but none of the priests in the psychic array completed the task, and the merit of the reward rose to five million due to the difficulty of the task.
……
A year later, the copper furnace shook violently, and three people (no, actually two ghosts and one god) stood in front of the copper furnace. These three are He Xuan, the Black Water Sinking Boat who entered the Copper Furnace Mountain before Lan Jiu Ge, the Blood Rain Tanhua Flower City, and the Flower Corolla Martial God Xie Lian.
"This person has already had the appearance of a broken furnace, and it's only been a few years." He Xuandao.
"Regardless of how many years he has, anyway, whether he breaks the furnace today or not will determine his ending." Hua Cheng smirked.
"Why does Saburo think that today will determine his end?" Xie Lian asked.
"Brother doesn't know, the more violently the copper furnace vibrates, the more serious it is to burn the ghosts inside, and today, either the copper furnace refines the ghosts, or the ghosts break out of the furnace." Hua Cheng has been in the copper furnace, so he naturally knows more than Xie Lian.
"Oh......" Xie Lian thought for a moment and hurriedly entered the psychic array to tell everyone the news.
……
"Ahh Lan Jiu Ge sneezed and sat up. As soon as he woke up, the spiritual power in his body had multiplied many times. Lan Jiu Ge looked at the world inside the furnace that didn't know day and night, and thought: I should be able to go back, I'm all done.
However, the voice of the system suddenly sounded: [There is no exit from the copper furnace, so please drag and cool to break the copper furnace wall with a cool punch!] 】
Blue Nine Song: ...... You play with me. Such a thick wall for me to punch through?
[That's right. Come on! 】
Blue Nine Song: ......
I looked in the furnace, and there really wasn't an exit for this. Lan Jiu Ge had no choice but to grit his teeth and punch the furnace wall, ready to not penetrate, who knows, he actually hit ...... A hole. For a moment, all the flames in the furnace were extinguished, and he came out of the cave. When he went out, the copper furnace healed naturally, sank into the mountains, and disappeared.
"Huh?" As soon as Lan Jiu Ge went out, he saw three people with extraordinary bearing (two ghosts and one god) standing in front of him.
What's going on?
