Chapter 40: Spirit Gu

It took more than half an hour to go back and forth, and Xu Fei found out the situation in the camp, and brought someone back from the camp by the way.

To be precise, I picked up a dying man.

Dan Tong looked at the old man curiously, and then asked Xu Fei: "This old man has been completely ruined, and he won't live long, what are you bringing back to do?"

In this world of heavenly books, the old men basically look about the same, they all have fairy wind bones, and they all have the foundation of beautiful men, but the old man in front of him looks like a knife and an axe, and he will have nightmares if he looks at it more.

The demon fox Daji also complained: "You also bring a good-looking one, bring a crooked melon and cracked date, is it purely disgusting." ”

Even the fox can't stand this person's appearance, which is enough to see how humble this person looks.

Xu Fei also did it with kindness for a while, and what happened before was also an accident.

At that time, Xu Fei was mixed in the flow of people, pretending to work while inquiring about the situation, and suddenly a person fell from the top of the bridge, almost smashing him into a meatloaf, and the old man was in a semi-coma after the heavy fall, Xu Fei decided to take him out of the camp.

This camp is not as harmonious as imagined, it is simply another version of the Great Wall built by Qin Shi Huang.

It can be said that there is a lot of mourning here, and there are dead people's corpses everywhere, so Xu Fei came out with the old man on his back at that time, and no one interfered with it, thinking that he was a laborer who was obliged to dispose of the corpse.

"Senior, can you still stand it?" Xu Fei didn't know what they were talking about.

"It's okay, I can get through some time. The old man grinned, his smile was also unparalleled in the world, which made people shudder, and it was estimated that Lord Yama would not dare to accept him when he saw it.

Generally, the laborers here are cultivators of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and there is no problem in coping with ordinary labor, but who can survive the ravages of time?

Engaging in heavy physical strength all day long, over time, will slowly deplete spiritual power until the day when the oil runs out and the lamp runs out.

"Senior, how long have you been working in the camp?" Xu Fei felt that this old man should tell him some secrets, so he wanted to start with the old man, which was also one of his purposes to bring the old man out with kindness.

"I don't remember, it seems to be more than 100,000 years, young man, in fact, you don't have to save me, the old man still thank you very much, thank you for having a bodhisattva heart. "Listening to the old man's words, he is determined to keep his life in the base.

Xu Fei asked again: "Do the seniors know who is in charge of this bridge, and why do you spend so much manpower and material resources?"

The old man sighed and said, "Seeing that you are also an outsider, let the old man take a breath and slowly tell you." ”

After a moment's wait, the old man began to tell everything he knew.

No one here knows when the construction of this bridge will start, and people who come here usually don't survive for too long, and they will run out of spiritual power and die.

No one knows who is in charge, as Daji said, there is no clear manager here, and they are all based on their own abilities.

It's a bit illogical to say so, there must be some force behind them.

At the end of the story, the old man stretched out the back of his hand to Xu Fei, not looking at it or worrying, it was creepy at first glance, something was squirming in the back of the old man's hand, as if it was a bug.

"But anyone who comes here can't escape this catastrophe, they will be inexplicably infected with this Gu poison, no matter how much ability you have, it will not help, only by working non-stop can you delay the poisonous Gu from penetrating into the bone marrow. Labor alone is not completely effective, there is a natural turbidity here that can cooperate to suppress Gu poison. ”

The more Xu Fei listened, the more confused he became, and he didn't have a clue at all, which had little to do with building the overpass.

The old man saw that Xu Fei was a little puzzled, so he continued to explain: "At first, the turbidity was very low, and you could breathe when you looked up, but then it slowly rose, and even became thinner. I don't know who proposed it, but I thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, that is, I could work and absorb turbidity, so I had the bridge to the sky. ”

Xu Fei finally figured out what was going on, it turned out that this bridge had nothing to do with leaving here, it was just a crystallization born by a person who had been poisoned in order to fight against fate.

While building the bridge, it absorbs the turbidity, and the turbidity is rising, and the bridge is also rising, which is indeed very special, and it is indeed the best of both worlds.

"What kind of Gu poison can it be that you cultivators?" Xu Fei asked inquiringly.

"Spirit Gu, a kind of insect spirit incarnation, even if it is an immortal family that is invincible to poison, it can't help this kind of spirit Gu, once it is in the Gu, it is equivalent to being tied to the soul, unless you die, you don't want to get rid of it. As the old man explained, the expression on his face became even more terrifying, as if he had seen death.

Dan Tong interjected and asked, "Listen to what you old guy mean, we have also been recruited?"

The old man replied with certainty: "You don't, but it's hard to say about this little baby and the fox, eighty percent of them have already been hit." ”

The old man meant that Xu Fei and Daji had been tricked into the Gu, but Dantong had not, indicating that he had seen through Dantong's true appearance at a glance.

Dan Tong continued to ask with some smugness: "Why didn't Lao Tzu win? You'd better not lie to Lao Tzu, otherwise, hum, it will make your death embarrassing." ”

The old man explained: "Because I smell the smell of the elixir, although I can't see through you, but I can be sure that you are not a human or a demon, and the spiritual power exuded by your body is very pure, so you are not a demon, as for what you are, the old man can't judge it for a while." ”

Xu Fei and the demon fox were too busy checking their bodies to listen to the old man's story.

This inspection really checked that there was a problem, Xu Fei's hand was obviously bulging with a bag on the back of his hand, although it was not painful or itchy, but it was certain that it would react soon, it was only a matter of time.

The demon fox Daji also discovered the physical problem, and was so anxious that she jumped around the ground, and kept making weird noises from her mouth.

Xu Fei stepped forward, grabbed Daji's tail, hung Daji upside down, and said sharply: "Didn't you say that you had been here, didn't you say that this Tongtian Bridge has something to do with the Tongtian Sect Master? ”

Xu Fei was also a little crazy, this is all human nature, no one can stand such a blow.

This means that I have to be tied to the concentration camp, and follow a group of people back and forth on the flyover all day long, just to work hard, just to rub a breath of turbidity, this kind of life is not as happy as a hundred deaths.

Dan Tong's words were even more unreliable, he actually asked, "Then can this demon fox still be eaten as an ingredient?"

The old man seemed to be happy to communicate with him, thought seriously for a moment, and responded: "I guess I can't, but your physique is different, maybe you can try." ”

Dantong thought about it for a while, and sighed dejectedly: "Forget it, Lao Tzu doesn't want to die early, so let this fox live longer." ”

Everyone is in a hurry, and they are still interested in eating and drinking, which is really unusual.

Daji was also quite innocent, and couldn't help but retort: "The nourishment of the old lady's life in the cave mansion is mixed up by you, I can't imagine that after living for so many years, it will be planted in the hands of a few of you, it is really heaven to kill my Daji! You simply kill the old lady, the old lady doesn't want to do hard work every day." ”

Xu Fei let go of his hand, sat on the ground, and slowly calmed down.

I finally walked out of Xuzhou City, thinking that I could open the sky and gallop freely, but I was bound here again, and I couldn't leave if I wanted to, unless I didn't want to live.

Will you run out of oil in this place from now on?

Xu Fei is unwilling, no one here is willing, they have been fighting with fate for so many years, and the results are all the same.

When Xu Fei turned around and looked at the old man in front of him, he found that the old man's whole body had withered, and there were rolling marks everywhere in his skin, only the breath that came out but not the breath that entered, and it was estimated that he would not be able to hold out for a moment.

The old man said intermittently: "The old decay can't live, please bury me on the spot, I don't want to infect more people." ”

When he is dying, he can still think about not infecting others, this old man's heart is really not ordinary charity.

Xu Fei was a little touched, and his heart was a little sour, but he didn't cry.

If he hadn't forcibly carried this old man out, maybe this old man would have lived a few more days, but he became an executioner who was bent on saving people, Xu Fei felt a sense of guilt in his heart, and a sense of guilt that he couldn't let go.

The old man said a few words at the end: "You are very ...... Lucky ......" and closed his eyes forever.

Xu Fei didn't understand the meaning of the old man's words at all, and it was too late to ask if he wanted to, even the old man's name had become a mystery, and there was another nameless soul in this world.

It is said that this world not only restricts the ability to reproduce, but even the dead cannot have reincarnation, and they will never be able to be reborn.

Without waiting for Xu Fei to make a move, Dantong got busy, and burned the ground out of a pit with Sanwei Zhen Fire, and then dragged the old man into the pit and continued to burn it with fire until the ashes were gone, and then the pit was filled up and a tomb was built.

Xu Fei was very indifferent to Dantong's behavior, because he was a modern person, and cremation was already common. But Daji didn't think so, he felt that Dantong was an alien who did not respect gods and ghosts, and should be punished by the heavenly thunder.

But Daji didn't bother to pay attention to it at the moment, lying on the side like a sick cat, her eyes were dull, and she had completely lost interest in life.

"Burn me, please!" Daji kept whispering.

When Dan Tong wanted to fulfill her wish and push the fireball at her, she jumped up again to dodge, after all, she was still afraid of death, and she was still a little unwilling.

Xu Fei had been sitting on the ground like a deflated ball, staring at the bridge in the distance in a daze.

Could he have any other choice?

If he wants to continue to live, he obviously has no other choice, and he can only rush to work next.

Dantong, who had been bouncing around, seemed to remember something, and suddenly became a little depressed.

Because he remembered his ultimate task, he had to take Xu Fei back to Xuzhou City in exchange for the alchemy furnace, but now I'm afraid it won't work, if Xu Fei leaves here, he may not be able to support it for a long time and will die of poison.
