…………

Shi Xiaohan was in a coma and had nightmares.

In the dream, the black altar was shrouded in gray mist, and the nine doppelgangers of the Empty Xuan Sanren showed neat smiles.

Gu Xu sat in the dim forest, cultivating the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique", his face was as white as paper, and his body temperature was as cold as ice.

"You don't want to practice this spell!" Shi Xiaohan saw himself rushing forward and clutched Gu Xu's sleeve tightly, "It will turn you into a man-eating ghost!" ”

But Gu Xu shook off her hand rudely, and said in a cold voice: "I am congenitally deficient, I have a deficiency in my roots and bones, and I can only live to be thirty years old." But if I cultivate this "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique", I will be able to live forever. ”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Xu suddenly turned into a hideous and terrifying ghost.

Just like Pan Xiaopeng, who went crazy that day, his eyes were red and he had sharp fangs.

He screamed as he lunged at her, knocking her down on the muddy ground.

In the process, she wanted to drive Zhen Yuan to resist, but found herself bound by an inexplicable force and unable to make any moves at all.

At this time, the scene in front of me suddenly changed.

Shi Xiaohan found himself in a cemetery on the outskirts of Yishui County.

In front of her, there was a strange stone tablet, but on it was a familiar name—

It is "Gu Xu".

And Chen Jisheng, the governor of the Exorcism Division of Yishui County, also suddenly appeared beside her.

He sighed softly and said to her, "Gu Xu was still in the prime of life after all, and his life was taken away by God. ”

Shi Xiaohan stared at the tombstone in a daze.

A thunderclap pierced through the sky, and the torrential rain fell with a bang.

She was soaking wet and turned into a soup chicken.

Then the scene in the dream changed again.

She sat under the leafy plane tree in the courtyard of her house.

"You have the ultimate talent, you have the most noble life in the world, but you live like this, don't you feel aggrieved?

"Your current condition is actually no different from me who was nailed to the Sansheng Stone!"

The white-haired young man had a playful smile on his face, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself or teasing Gu Xu.

Gu Xu glanced at the nail inserted in the white-haired young man's body, thinking of the empty Xuansan man who had no last resort, and sighed softly, feeling that what the other party said was indeed very reasonable.

"But I didn't have a choice." He spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

"Actually, I once suspected that it was impossible for a person like you, who was suppressing himself all the time, to cross the sea of flowers on the other side of the red sea, arrive at the 'Nai He Bridge', and help me untie my bonds," the white-haired young man looked at Gu Xu seriously, "Fortunately, that old thing from Kong Xuan has successfully aroused your anger at this critical time." ”

"If I can cultivate to the eighth realm in my lifetime, I will definitely kill that old thing with my own hands." Gu Xu said calmly.

"Very well," the white-haired boy said in an approving tone, then glancing at the nail on his left shoulder, "remember this hatred, and please help me remove this nail." ”

Gu Xu took two steps forward, and then stopped: "I can get supernatural powers with just one nail removed?" ”

"Divine powers, that's just the words of ordinary people," the white-haired boy showed a look of disdain in his eyes, "when their souls are strongly stimulated, they will follow their destiny and solidify a unique ability." This is an accidental phenomenon that occurs only once in a lifetime.

"But this ability to appear by luck is not worthy of you, or rather, of us.

"Your power has a more honorable name—

"It's called 'authority.'"

"Authority......" Gu Xu silently recited the word in his heart.

At the same time, his gaze swept over the four nails on the white-haired boy's body before landing on the wound on his forehead.

"According to you...... These four nails represent the four sealed authorities? He frowned slightly and spoke.

"Clever!" The white-haired boy laughed and gave him a thumbs up.

"And what about the wound on your head?" Gu Xu asked again, "Could it be that I already had a kind of authority before?" ”

"That's right." The white-haired boy replied.

"But I've never seen you before."

"That nail, the moment you come into this world, falls off naturally," the white-haired boy explained, "and the authority it represents is called 'wisdom.'"

"Your ability to remember, your ability to comprehend far beyond ordinary people, your almost outrageous understanding, all come from it."

Knowledgeable and strong.

Genius of thin life.

The names of these two talents suddenly popped up in Gu Xu's mind.

He had always thought that these two talents were randomly drawn in the game in his previous life, and they were the necessary "golden fingers" for the legendary traverser.

But now it seems that the origin of these talents is not as simple as it seems?

"Come on, Gu Xu, help me pull out this nail," the white-haired young man pointed to his left shoulder, "It's time to find your true self." ”

"Why this nail?" Gu Xu asked again.

"You have a lot of questions," said the white-haired boy, smiling brightly, "what do you most desire in your life?" ”

"Of course it's immortality."

"And what do you want most at this moment?"

"Get out of trouble and live."

"The authority represented by this nail may help you solve this problem."

"Really?"

"It depends on how you use it."

At this moment, countless images flashed in Gu Xu's mind.

There is the black altar in the depths of Yishan Mountain, the nine clones of the empty Xuansan people, the nine-baby snake demon that ravages the world, the Yishui County that has turned into Zeguo, and the Shi Xiaohan who fell to the ground in pain......

How powerful is it to help him out of this desperate predicament? In order to stop the plan of the Kongxuansan people to sacrifice 100,000 living souls to be promoted to the "Ghost King"?

Gu Xu sighed, took a few steps forward, and according to the white-haired young man's words, grabbed the nail that was nailed to his left shoulder with both hands and pulled it out hard.

In an instant, it was like a flood breaking the levee. An invisible force surged from all directions, instantly filling Gu Xu's body.

His consciousness became extraordinarily clear, as if he were one with the whole world.

And under the bridge, the dirty river suddenly set off a monstrous wave, and countless lonely ghosts floating in the river let out a terrible roar.

It seemed that Gu Xu's breakthrough made them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

"Now, you have a second authority—'time,'" the white-haired boy said with a smile, "and its uses are ever-changing. Hopefully, it will shine in your hands. ”

Gu Xu quietly felt the new power in his body and did not respond immediately.

The white-haired young man said again, "Go on, Gu Xu." All the misfortunes that have happened to you are due to your lack of ability. Only by becoming stronger can we solve the problem at the root. Only by becoming stronger can you protect the people you care about from harm.

"Keep going! I will be waiting for you at the 'Lookout Tower'. ”

As soon as the words fell, the figure of the white-haired boy began to gradually become blurred, and he would soon disappear on the "Nai He Bridge".

"Wait!" Gu Xu suddenly spoke, "I still have a question!" ”

"What's the problem?"

"You just said that the Kongxuansan people are a frog at the bottom of the well, and they are talking nonsense," Gu Xu asked eagerly, "Can you explain in a little more detail?" ”

"'Only by incarnating as a ghost is the true path to the peak of power', this sentence is nonsense," the corners of the white-haired boy's mouth turned up slightly, "ghosts, in fact, are slaves to the rules of the world.

"Cultivation itself is like sailing against the current. If you follow the so-called rules, you will eventually lose yourself and be assimilated by this cold and dark world.

"Although the cultivation method of the human race is to live towards death, the first eight realms are all fine.

"Only the ninth realm is a scam.

"Heh, 'Dengxian Dao', this name is deceptive when you hear it."

Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, keeping these words of his mind firmly in his mind.

Then he bowed to the boy: "Thank you for the advice!" ”

"You and I are one, why be so polite?" The white-haired boy said with a smile.

In the next second, he, along with the Sansheng Stone behind him, disappeared in front of Gu Xu's eyes, leaving no trace.

Gu Xu looked at the empty Nai He Bridge, and only felt that everything that happened just now was like a dream.

"Time ......"

"Getting out of trouble......

"How to break the game......"

He took a deep breath, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh.

Then he strode towards the opposite side of the Lethe River.

Flowers on the other side, bloom on the other side, only see flowers, not leaves.

Red as blood, dazzling as a torch.

However, when Gu Xu stepped on the ground on the other side of the Lethe River, all the flowers on the other side withered and withered together.

The petals fall and are buried in the dirty soil.

The boundless blood-red sea completely disappeared into this dim netherworld.

The whole world is reframed in a drab gray-black.

…………

The real world, by the black altar.

Gu Xu slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, his face became extremely pale, his body temperature dropped a lot, and his heartbeat was close to stopping.

If someone touched him, they might think he was a corpse.

"The preliminary practice of the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" has been completed?" Not far away, the hunchbacked old man turned his head and asked.

According to the division of labor between the clones of the Kongxuan Sanren, he was responsible for guarding Gu Xu at this time.

Gu Xu nodded and replied, "It's effective at the beginning." At present, I have crossed the 'Nai He Bridge' and broken through the third realm. ”

His gaze was as cold as ice, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion.

"Very well," the hunchbacked old man nodded with satisfaction, "worthy of being my heir." In such a short period of time, he successfully changed his method of cultivation. ”

Gu Xu didn't speak again.

With a thought in his mind, he took out hundreds of fifth-generation "Taishang Arctic Town Demon Killing Talismans" and held them tightly in his hands.

"What do you want to do?" The hunchbacked old man narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled contemptuously, "You don't want to use this thing against me, do you?" ”

He didn't understand what Gu Xu wanted to do.

The fifth-generation "Ghost Killing Talisman" is really powerful, and several stacked can even easily wipe out "evil spirit" level ghosts.

But for the Kongxuansan people who have mastered the "Way of Cause and Effect" and are about to be promoted to the "Ghost King", even if there are thousands of "Ghost Killing Talismans", there is no threat to him at all.

Moreover, he is also confident enough - as long as Gu Xu makes any dangerous moves, he can control Gu Xu at the first time.

But Gu Xu didn't pay attention to his question.

He held the "Ghost Killing Talisman" and began to recite the "Exorcism Mantra" softly:

"Five-star town color, light and darkness. Thousands of gods and saints, protect my true spirit. Giant beasts, subduing thousands of soldiers. Five days of the devil, dead and extinct. Where it is, all gods are served. Haste as a law! ”

As soon as the words fell, he gently threw the "ghost killing talisman" in his hand.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xu didn't throw the "Ghost Killing Talisman" at the Empty Xuansan people.

Instead, he threw it at himself.

Suddenly, the rune paper instantly turned into a dazzling golden flame, like the rising sun, completely enveloping Gu Xu's figure.

Hiss, sss

Blazing air currents tumbled upward, and bright tongues of fire scurried around.

"He wanted to kill himself!" The hunchbacked old man's eyes widened.

He really didn't dare to imagine that Gu Xu would make such a decisive move in order to disobey his control.

Gu Xu had cultivated the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique", but he had not yet fully practiced it.

At this moment, he is a half-human, half-ghost existence.

Humans can be immune to the damage of the "Ghost Killing Talisman", but Gu Xu, who has the characteristics of ghosts, cannot.

The flames generated by these hundreds of "ghost killing talismans" can incinerate him to ashes in a short time.

Seeing such a scene, the hunchbacked old man wanted to use the technique of "tracing the cause" to make up a story of "the ghost killing talisman suddenly failed, causing Gu Xu to commit suicide".

After all, an excellent test like Gu Xu can be regarded as hard to find.

However, in the next second, the raging fire suddenly dissipated.

Gu Xu stood quietly in place, unharmed.

In addition, the sinister aura on his body also disappeared without a trace.

His heart was beating again, his blood was rushing, and his pale cheeks were bloody again.

The hunchbacked old man could feel that Gu Xu at this moment was a complete human being.

The only difference was that the bracelet made of black jade on Gu Xu's wrist cracked into countless pieces and fell to the ground.

"Stand-in bracelet!" The hunchbacked old man's heart was shocked.

The "stand-in bracelet" is a precious life-saving thing given to Gu Xu by Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcist division, which can resist a deadly attack from the outside world for the master, and at the same time can remove all negative effects and control on the master.

Because Gu Xu had just become a half-human, half-ghost existence, the "Ghost Killing Talisman" was a "deadly attack from the outside world" to him.

However, the "stand-in bracelet" also helped him remove the negative effects on his body.

The yin qi he had just absorbed was expelled from his body.
