Chapter 44: If Life Is Only as First Seen (1)
"Why didn't you fall into the illusion?" asked Mu Gou. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Because we've lost that qualification!" Huo Candle's face flashed with a hint of regret, and then said, "How does this illusion feel? Most of the illusions on the mental path point directly to the heart, and it is easy for people to get lost in the illusion until they fall!"
Mu Gou was silent in his heart, remembering the previous illusion, like a life in a dream, maybe he is a more ordinary person!
It's just that deep down in his heart, there is a voice that has been spurring him on, making him keep moving forward from the ordinary!
・・・・・・
Maybe it's half a day, maybe it's half a year, or more. Mu Gou, who spent time in one fantasy world, soon met an acquaintance!
Of course, at this moment, this acquaintance has turned into a dried corpse, and he can still distinguish one or two from his clothes and appearance, if it takes a little longer, the dried corpse will turn into dry bones, and he will not recognize the identity of this person.
"Zhong Kui!"
Mu Gou sighed softly.
I didn't expect this person to die in front of him, and I felt a lot of emotion for a while!
Just as he was about to cross over, Candleflame said, "There's something about him or you're interested!"
"What?"
"Did you see that little bag pinned to his waist? This person is a Gu Master, there are some good Gu worms in that witch bag, if you can get out of here alive, the things in it will definitely be of great benefit to your future cultivation!"
"Witch bag?"
Candle Flame sighed: "Sure enough, you are completely a mortal, and it is enough to be embarrassed for my two companions to die in your hands! Although the power of Gu is limited here, as a Gu Master, his body is often washed by the power of Gu Worms, and his physical body can reach a limit, that is, the limit that mortals can cultivate—Innate! In addition, the power of Gu Worms is so mysterious that the Gu Master's physical body is still more flexible and changing! Ordinary human beings are innate and incomparable!"
Mu Gou smiled: "That's because of the environment here!"
Candle Flame Dao was noncommittal, "Most of the Gu Master's power is on the Gu worms in the trick points in the body, but sometimes the Gu worms in the trick holes are inconvenient to use for some reasons, so other Gu worms will have to be used, and this kind of Gu worms cannot be included in the trick holes, and can only be carried by witch sacs!"
Mu Gou picks up the witch bag from Zhong Kui's corpse. The texture of this thing is soft, like silk, it seems to be empty, but it feels a lot of weight in his hand, which makes Mu Gou feel surprised that this witch bag does not have any cracks, it is completely integrated, and I don't know where to put it in!
Seeing his bewildered look, Candle couldn't help but remind: "This thing is opened with spiritual power! You are not a Gu Master yet, so naturally you can't open it!"
"I see!" Mu Gou nodded, not showing much disappointment.
Looking ahead, there was still no end in sight to the road to the suspension bridge.
He walked a few steps, his body froze, but he fell into a vision.
・・・・・・
"Death—"
A roar swept through the heavens and the earth.
A huge palm slapped down like a mountain, enveloping the entire mountain city.
It is not indispensable to describe it as overwhelming!
Mu Gou thought of this, and a look of despair appeared on his face.
Because this palm was so strong, so strong that he couldn't even raise the slightest thought of resisting.
Bang!
Not far away, a young man's body turned into blood foam as he looked up.
Farther away, the family shattered in a desperate roar.
A flesh-and-blood body bloomed under this palm, and clouds of blood mist bloomed!
No one can do it!
Like the end of the world, darkness has descended!
Endless fear hangs over everyone's mind.
Just like in the face of a huge natural disaster, ants can't imagine this kind of scene at all, the only thing they can do is to wait for death!
Zhong Kui died in this illusion.
It's very simple, I don't want to encounter some illusions before, it will be ten years and a hundred years, a lifetime, this is just a moment!
Mu Gou looked at the huge palm that gradually became clearer, and the lines of the palm were already clearly visible, each line was like a mountain range, a river!
Towering, vast!
Mu Gou's heart suddenly swelled with a trace of unwillingness.
In this fantasy world, he is just a lowest-level mountain city resident, running around for life every day, conscientious, but he doesn't want this apocalyptic scene to come here in an instant!
"Why! Did I do something wrong! God will punish me like this!"
He roared, all his despair and fear came to naught, and he leaped high like a cannonball, shooting into the palm of his hand!
Rumble!
Avoid the clouds and see the moon!
He reappeared on the Heartway Suspension Bridge.
"Your heart is getting more and more mature, and more and more perfect!" said Candlelight.
Mu Gou suddenly understood the meaning of its words.
Along the way, he encountered a lot of illusions. In the beginning, he would be tired of all kinds of fetters, often lost in illusions, and if the system hadn't been able to wake him up at the last moment, he would have become a dry skeleton by now!
The more you experience, the more perfect and powerful your heart becomes!
Candleflame often said this to him.
At first he didn't understand it, but now, he understands it a little!
This path is an ordeal and an opportunity!
Mu Gou suddenly looked forward to what kind of illusion he would encounter next!
I'm also looking forward to what kind of person I will become after I leave here.
・・・・・・
Mu Gou's face was covered with wind and frost. A gust of wind hit, and he could feel that the vitality in his body had been plundered a lot. This yin wind from the bottom of the abyss is just like the candle flame said, it can directly blow away the cultivator's lifespan of the heart path for a year!
Fortunately, the old man's Gu poison on his body temporarily lost its effectiveness because of the suppression of the rules of this world, otherwise, this gust of wind would have blown him to death directly!
If only I could meet Gu Xiong's corpse, maybe I could find the antidote in him!
Mu Gou secretly looked forward to it.
A dried corpse appeared in front of him again. Mu Gou was shocked in his heart, this person was actually the ghost. In addition, there were a pile of dry bones scattered next to it, as many as five or six people!
There was nothing of value left on these dry bones, it seemed that they had been taken away, and only the relics of Ghost Jiong were still very intact.
Mu Gou obtained another witch bag on his body.
"That Gu Xiong must have walked in front of me, but I didn't expect to die here!"
Mu Gou was secretly shocked in his heart. He was able to get here mostly because of the ability system reminder, but Gu Xiong went further than him, which proves that Gu Xiong threw him a long distance in terms of mental will.
While he was thinking about it, Huo Candle suddenly let out a startled sound, "It seems that someone is coming from behind!"
"Kunyan!"
Mu Gou suddenly thought of the identity of the person who came, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
If it was the real Kun Yan, he still had seven or eight points of certainty that they would be safe with each other, but it was very likely that this Kun Yan was the Kun Yan who was possessed by the Gu King, and with her arrogant and cold personality, he didn't mind throwing him, the ant in the way, into the abyss at all.
Huo Zhu seemed to see his concerns, and said: "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you enter the illusion realm, your body is equivalent to falling into another space, even if you are high, it will be difficult to get a glimpse of your true body!"
Mu Gou nodded. No wonder when I looked back before, I didn't see a single figure, presumably Na Kunyan was in a fantasy realm, and now when she heard the words of the fire candle, she was a little relieved.
However, Mu Gou still had some doubts in his heart, but there was nowhere to hide in this suspension bridge, and there was no choice, so he could only choose to believe it and stride towards Zhong Kui's bones.
The next moment, his people had fallen into the realm of illusion.
And it didn't take long for Kunyan's figure to appear here, and when she saw the dry bones on the ground, she hesitated slightly, but also stepped over.
・・・・・・
The rain poured down on the sky.
In front of an ancient temple, a tattered little beggar knelt on the ground, and there was a huge red birthmark on her delicate face, which destroyed her delicate temperament completely, and only a trace of innocence and stubbornness made her look less hateful.
She had been kneeling here for three or four days, and in these three or four days, she had not eaten a grain of rice, drunk a drop of water, and her face was frighteningly pale, but there was not the slightest hint of flinching on her face.
"You don't have the qualifications to cultivate, even if you kneel and die here, it will be difficult to enter my immortal gate!" An indifferent voice came from above the ancient temple.
The little beggar trekked through mountains and rivers, and did not hesitate to rush here from thousands of miles away, how could he leave easily, hearing the words, he slammed his head on the ground, only heard dozens of bangs, and the ground was gradually soaked with blood.
"Please take me as an apprentice!"
"Hmph, if you don't listen to the teachings, you can kneel and die here!" the voice said, and the surroundings suddenly fell into a long silence, apparently gone.
The little beggar still kowtowed.
The cold raindrops hit her back, and she crouched on the ground, only to feel her body gradually cold.
At this moment, a paper umbrella appeared above, blocking out all the rain in mid-air.
"Are you also here to ask for immortal law?" a voice came.
The little beggar subconsciously looked up, and in the blurred vision, a young man who could barely be regarded as bright-eyed and bright-toothed was slightly sideways and looked at her with a kind face.
"My name is Mu Gou!
"I..." There was a blank look in the little beggar's eyes, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he said, "My name is Snow Shadow!"
