The people in the house were all gathered around Gu Yunzhe, including his parents, all of whom looked at him anxiously. At this time, I happened to see that I had opened my eyes, and there was immediately a cheer.

Gu Changsheng and his wife sat next to Gu Yunzhe, "Yunzhe, you've been sitting here for seven days, do you want to eat something?" ”

Zhang Jianqiang in the back also said: "Brother, you finally woke up, did you encounter any difficulties?" Is it solved? ”

Faced with the gossip questions of these people in front of him, Gu Yunzhe did not speak, but looked at everyone in a daze. After a while, everyone saw that he did not speak, and fell into confusion.

Gu Yunzhe's eyes saw something different from the original, and it was even more shocking than what he saw in his spiritual consciousness. Not only is the aura of vitality visible on everyone's body, but there is something different from what it has ever been before. A life candle!

The candle floated behind his head, and the fire on it was burned with human life. The halo of vitality on the human body is the light emitted by the head of the candle. In Gu Yunzhe's eyes, the lives of everyone around him are different.

The head of his parents' life candle is not big, the body of the candle is relatively slender, and the fire head is pale yellow, which is still burning smoothly at this time. It should be noted that although the parents are mortal in the flesh, they are healthy and peaceful at this time.

Gu Yunzhe turned his head to look at the Ruan family, the thickness of the candle was the same as that of his parents, but the difference was that the length was different, and the fire was more vigorous, after all, the two of them were young and vigorous.

Looking at the people around again, the flame and body of the life candle are different. Zhang Jianqiang's candle body is thick and tall, like a wooden stake, and the fire on it is golden and burning.

The second is Zihe's life candle, although it is not as thick as Zhang Jianqiang's, but it is still burning. is Wan Futong's again, then it is the old monk's, and finally Xiao Yuanqing's life candle, which is similar to his parents'.

It's just that the most special thing about the beggar is not the life candle, but a glowing spirit bead, suspended above its head. It seems that it should be a phenomenon formed after merging with King Tai Sui, after all, he himself said that he is immortal and immortal.

After a moment, a smile appeared on Gu Yunzhe's face and broke the silence, "Don't panic, I don't have any discomfort. ”

Hearing him speak, the worries of the people around him were put down. Especially his parents, "You scared us to death just now, don't make such jokes in the future." We can't stand it. As the two spoke, the flame behind them swelled a little. The other people's life candles were the same, as if they had added some fuel, and they were a few points higher than just now. Seeing this scene, Gu Yunzhe knew that these people were his true friends and confidants.

Suddenly, he wanted to see what his life candle was like, and subconsciously looked back, but it was empty behind him. It turns out that I can't see my own destiny, just as I can't predict my future.

"Not anymore. How many days is it today? Gu Yunzhe suddenly asked.

"Today is the evening of the seventh day, and Captain Jiang will come back to pick you up early tomorrow morning." Zhang Jianqiang said next to him.

Gu Yunzhe nodded and stood up, "Okay, it's also worried about everyone these days." Go back to your room and get some rest. ”

Zhang Jianqiang looked at him, "What about you." ”

"I've been sleeping for seven days, look at the night outside, don't worry! I'm just around the house, inside the complex. After Gu Yunzhe finished speaking, he walked towards the door.

Everyone watched Gu Yunzhe wake up, but it gave everyone a deep and unfathomable feeling, this feeling is not the kind of pretending to be on the screen, but a kind of blandness that sees through the world.

Zihe was not at ease, followed behind Gu Yunzhe, and walked out.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Gu Yunzhe already knew who it was, and didn't look back, "Aren't you sleepy?" ”

Zihe smiled softly behind him and walked up to Gu Yunze, "Big brother, you know it's me." ”

Gu Yunzhe looked at her with a smile, "You have been with me for so long, I am naturally familiar with the sound of your footsteps." ”

"Big brother, do you have something on your mind?" Zihe asked straight to the point.

Gu Yunzhe glanced up at the sky, "How can you see it?" ”

Zihe Zhengse said: "Big brother, since I followed your side, I have never seen such an expression today. ”

"Since you asked, I won't hide it from you. I know that you read through all kinds of books, and you know the life candle in a person. After Gu Yunzhe weighed for a moment, he still told Zihe what he saw.

When Zihe heard the word life candle, a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes, "Life candle!" Big brother, you can see the candle of human life! Legend has it that only immortals who have stepped into the realm of Xianyuan can see the Candle of Destiny. Could it be that the eldest brother ......"

Gu Yunzhe waved his hand, "Don't think about it, I didn't reach the Immortal Yuan Realm." I think it should have absorbed some of the octopus's spirit body remains and acquired some of its abilities. ”

Zihe listened and nodded, "If the eldest brother is not in the Immortal Yuan Realm, then it must be the reason for this octopus beast." The eldest brother doesn't know if he's heard of it, but some experts speculate that the eyes of an octopus can see a four-dimensional space, far better than a human eye. But what the four-dimensional space looks like is unknown. However, the eldest brother can see the life candle that can only be seen in the Immortal Yuan Realm, thinking about it, the space where this immortal is located should be the four-dimensional space. ”

Gu Yunzhe smiled bitterly, "If that's the case, those immortals should be living normally next to us, but we can't see them." Speaking of this, his heart moved, and he thought that in his mind, the stealth skill that the octopus beast used to avoid himself could be perfectly combined with the surroundings. If it weren't for its own mind, it wouldn't be able to get out of trouble, and in reality, it would have escaped long ago.

"This is not necessarily, after all, even in the Immortal Yuan Realm, they still have to cultivate, and the earth is not a favorite place, they should have already stepped into the void and found another good place." Zihe said.

"Don't talk about them. Tell me what the candle is? Gu Yunzhe pulled the topic back.

Zihe smiled apologetically, "The life candle is the name of a magic weapon in Taoism or Buddhism. When a person is dying, a lamp and candle are lit next to the body to measure how much vitality the person still has. If the lamp and candle are burning, there will be life. Once the lights and candles go out, it means that this person's life is cut off and he is powerless to return to heaven. Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Kongming placed a seven-star lantern array to continue his life in order to continue his life, but he was inadvertently broken by Wei Yan, extinguished the lamp and candle, interrupted Zhuge Kongming's vitality, and made him hate Wuzhangyuan. However, the life candle you see is actually the vitality of the person, and the flame of the life candle is also called the fire of life, and the more vigorous the vitality, the brighter the life candle. However, the life candle is not permanent, and the life candle of our cultivators is already different from ordinary people. Isn't that the case. ”

Gu Yunzhe nodded in approval, "Yes." Indeed, as you said, the life candle of a practitioner is thick and bright. ”

"That's right. We cultivators practice the practice of communicating with heaven and earth, absorbing the power of heaven and earth into the body to resist the power of time. The so-called cultivation is to see how much you absorb and the ability to absorb it. The more Heaven and Earth Yuan Force is absorbed, the stronger the power will be. And the stronger the ability to absorb, the higher the quality of the absorbed Heaven and Earth Yuan Force, replacing the growth in quantity in quality. Zihe explained.

Gu Yunzhe nodded with some understanding: "I understand, it's like a balloon, the gas that can hold is only a few breaths." If it is compressed into a liquid and put in a cylinder, it can be made for dozens of minutes. Further, by extracting the oxygen from it, it can keep a critically ill patient alive. Right. ”

"Smack!" Zihe clapped his hands with his hands, "Big brother, that's it." So the enemy of the vast majority of us is not ourselves, but time. From the moment he was born, he was fighting against time and racing against time. Every living creature is like being born on a chopping board, and time is a kitchen knife, in order to prevent ourselves from being quickly chopped into ingredients by kitchen knives, we are desperately trying to make ourselves harder, longer, and faster. After saying that, he sighed.

Gu Yunzhe heard the sadness in Zihe's words, and patted her shoulder to show comfort, "Yes, this time is completely devouring space!" Every life within it is like its food, devoured from the moment it is born. ”

"Big brother, what are you talking about!" Zihe suddenly asked in horror.

For her sudden mood swings, Gu Yunzhe was slightly stunned, "The last sentence." From the moment you are born, you are being devoured! Is there a problem? ”

Zi He frowned, as if searching for something in his brain's memory, and after a while, he raised his head, "Big brother, I saw a passage in a book written by Shennong, heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. And this sentence also appears in the Taoist scriptures. Is this a coincidence, or does Lao Tzu also agree with Shennong's statement? At first, I thought that sentence was about the fairest and most ruthless heaven and earth, treating all things in heaven and earth as pigs and dogs, and letting them destroy themselves. Now I heard a more realistic statement from the mouth of the eldest brother. ”

Gu Yunzhe was a little confused when he heard this, and asked, "Is it more in line with reality?" ”

Zihe nodded heavily, "Yes, that is, heaven and earth feed on all things and devour all living beings. In the end, the world will become a world of silence. ”

"It's so scary!" Gu Yunzhe raised his head and looked at the sky, as if he could see a pair of eyes in the sky, greedily staring at all the creatures on the earth.

Zihe's heart suddenly moved, "Big brother, what happened when you meditated in the past few days to make your mentality change so much?" ”

Gu Yunzhe glanced at Zihe and laughed softly, "The instrument spirit of the black flag has been subdued by me. ”

"So, the black flag belongs to you from now on. Congratulations to the big brother, the artifact was obtained. Zihe said excitedly.

"Artifact! Is that black flag really that powerful? Gu Yunzhe thought that he could come out of the black flag, and felt that the strength of this black flag was average, and thought that Zihe was a little exaggerated.

Zihe could see that Gu Yunzhe didn't take this black flag to heart, "Big brother, do you know what's wonderful about this black flag?" ”

"I have a rough understanding of the five aspects, including defense, attack, siege, illusion, and killing." Gu Yunzhe roughly explained several functions controlled by the black flag.

Zihe nodded, "Big brother, that black flag can be ranked in the top three in the weapons of the Divine Valley." If it weren't for this black flag, it would have been impossible for Youyun Daoist to break through from the dozens of guards and escape from the Valley of the Gods. ”

Gu Yunzhe took out the black flag from his arms, pinched the two ends of the pole, and flattened the flag. The small flag, like a fluorescent brocade, has some fine tassels around it, and at this time the octopus has returned to the black flag, so the appearance of the octopus appears on the flag again.

Zihe looked at the black flag in Gu Yunzhe's hand and sighed with emotion, "Big brother, if this black flag is kept, it can be impregnable." If attacked, it can reach thousands of troops. The siege is all in your heart. Among them, the illusion is even more exquisite, there is an illusion in the illusion, and there is truth in the illusion, which is intertwined, making people inadvertently walk into the trap. However, since this flag is an artifact, it has its own arrogance. As far as I know, the machine spirit in this is already the third generation. ”

"Third generation! Isn't the spirit of the machine born and died with the object itself? Gu Yunzhe was a little puzzled.

Zi He held the black flag in his hand, "To be exact, machine spirits also have an age limit, and the length of time that machine spirits survive depends on the master's realm. The faster the master's realm grows, the higher it will improve, and the more the machine spirit will benefit, and it will gradually improve its strength with the master's realm. However, if the master's realm is always stagnant, and the spiritual power of the machine spirit cannot be replenished, if it goes through a few more battles, the machine spirit will also be dissipated. ”

"In this way, this generation of machine spirits has regressed due to the stagnation of the strength realm of Youyun Daoist, which has made me see a bargain." Gu Yunzhe joked.

Zihe returned the black flag to Gu Yunzhe, "It can't be said that it is cheap, it can only be said that the strength of the eldest brother is not weaker than You Yun." Otherwise, why are those people trapped for a long time and can't go out? ”

"Those ghost people have said, someone uses them for alchemy, what's the matter" Gu Yunzhe suddenly thought of a statement mentioned by Wang Fangping.
