Chapter 12: The Grey Realm
The cold moonlight, faint, soft, like flowing water, passed through the clouds and flowed quietly on the earth, dotting the courtyard with mottled land.
Wang Changsheng followed behind Zhang Ciming step by step, and the feeling of weakness after using the sword lingered in his body, making every step he took was a tempering of will.
Zhang Ciming, who was walking in front, noticed this, but he didn't do anything, just said lightly: "Changsheng, I don't know how you managed to fuse the Dao Fruit with a mortal body, and even use the power of the Dao Fruit to a certain extent, but there is one thing you have to remember. ”
"The Dao Fruit has an unfathomable power, and a cultivator who has the Dao Fruit is equivalent to holding the [Sequence]."
"However, there are calamities in practicing [Sequence]."
"This kind of calamity, outsiders can't help it, only your own extraordinary will that surpasses the golden stone, and your unswerving firm Dao heart, is the most fundamental guarantee for you to survive the calamity."
"The confrontation with weakness at the moment can play a certain role in tempering your will."
"Changsheng understands." Wang Changsheng nodded, but there were thoughts flying in his mind.
Dao Guo ...... [Sequence] ...... Disaster......
In just a few words, Zhang Ciming revealed a lot of heavy news.
Wang Changsheng couldn't help but think of the three-layer seal of the attribute panel on the [Earth Evil Dao Fruit-Swordsmanship].
At first, he thought that the complete [Earth Evil Dao Fruit - Sword Technique] was too powerful to be controlled with his ability, so he made the seal.
But now it seems that the reason for the attribute panel seal [Earth Demon Dao Fruit - Swordsmanship] is likely to be not only this, but also includes the "calamity" that Zhang Ciming said.
Moreover, why is the person who owns the "Dao Fruit" the same as holding the [Sequence]? What does the so-called "sequence" mean?
While thinking, the two of them walked forward and backward, unhurriedly.
Wang Changsheng, who came back to his senses, noticed the special environment around him.
The faint gray gas that fills the air like flowing clouds and smoke, and the grass and trees courtyard scene that is full of dead air under the gray gas.
"It's not dissipated yet? Uncle Shi, haven't you already killed the fox demon? Wang Changsheng couldn't help but ask.
"That's the first thing I'm going to tell you." Zhang Ciming held his hands behind his back, and Li Laodao and Zhang Caili, who had been lifted by him before, were suspended in mid-air under the support of the invisible force, and slowly moved with him: "The gray domain will dissipate with the death of its core, the demon, but this will take a certain amount of time, and if the half-gray domain is used, it will take about half a day's work." ”
"The core of the Gray Domain is the demon, but not all demons are the core of the Gray Domain."
"The Gray Domain has a long history, and the way it was born is also strange and irregular. But one thing is certain, the core of every gray domain is an extremely powerful demon. ”
"From low to high, the gray realm is divided into [thin], [medium], [high], [forbidden], and the highest level of [dead silence]. The semi-gray domain refers to those special gray domains that have just been born and are advancing towards the [Thin Gray Domain]. ”
"The concentration of gray gas in the semi-gray domain is relatively light, which is also the biggest reason why Senior Brother Lechun and this girl have a trace of salvation after being invaded by gray gas."
"If you wait for the gray domain to be officially formed, once the gray qi invades the heart vein, I am afraid that the true immortal will be in the dust, and there will be room for redemption."
Zhang Ciming's tone was heavy: "The gray qi in the gray domain is a substance that can be called 'highly poisonous' to ordinary people and even cultivators. Once eroded by ash gas, if it is not expelled from the body in a short period of time, the human body will undergo a terrifying mutation, and this mutation is irreversible. ”
"It's okay for cultivators to be able to hold on for a long time, but ordinary people ......"
As they spoke, the two of them were in a backyard.
Zhang Ciming raised his hand and pointed to the shadow on the edge of the rockery: "Pay attention." ”
Wang Changsheng turned his head to look, only to see that something seemed to be curled up in the shadows, and without Zhang Ciming's reminder, he really couldn't find it.
Zhang Ciming curled his fingers, and then, the creature hiding in the shadows seemed to be hit by some invisible attack, and let out a low roar.
It is like a spring that has been suppressed to the limit, bursting out violently, opening its hands, hugging the air in front of it fiercely, the strength is so great that even its own bones let out an overwhelmed wail, and at the same time, its mouth also gnaws forward hard, and the sound of "clicking" teeth interlaced, which makes people's scalps numb.
Under the bright moonlight, Wang Changsheng clearly saw the appearance of "it".
It was a man, to be precise, a person whose body had become thin and whose skin had turned gray.
Its pupils glowed a faint red, as if it had lost its mind.
"Gray corpse, a kind of half-monster transformed from ordinary people who have been completely eroded by gray qi."
"After ordinary people are invaded by ash qi in their hearts, their bodies will gradually wither and fall like dead corpses, and a small part of them will get up again and become such ash corpses."
"They like to hide in the shadows, and launch a sneak attack on passing creatures, their nails, teeth, and body fluids contain a strong gray gas, and the average early monk of Bigu is likely to be seriously injured or even killed if they are attacked by a sneak attack in an unsuspecting situation."
Zhang Ciming's flat voice came into Wang Changsheng's ears, making his eyes gradually stunned.
And at this time, the gray corpse that had attacked and pounced on the air roared again, and pounced towards an old man and a young man, looking at that posture, it would never stop if it didn't kill the two of them.
"After turning into ashes, they are no longer human." Zhang Ciming's tone was heavy, and he stepped out, instantly appearing in front of the gray corpse, raising his finger and pointing at the center of his eyebrows.
The gray corpse he ordered seemed to have been immobilized, and his body froze in place, unable to move, unable to even make a sound.
"That's the second point I'm going to teach you."
"When you encounter gray corpses in the Gray Domain, don't be soft because of their humanoid appearance, killing them is a kind of salvation for them."
"Come, Changsheng, use this sword to pierce the center of the gray corpse's eyebrows."
"Their bodies don't have anything important in the conventional sense other than their brains."
Zhang Ciming threw out the long sword he was carrying behind him and fell into Wang Changsheng's hands.
The long sword made of metal was quite weighty, causing Wang Changsheng's hand to sink slightly.
With dark eyes staring directly at the hideous-looking gray corpse, Wang Changsheng could barely distinguish the identity that this face represented - this was a servant of the county mansion, and it was also the guest room he led him to.
A cheerful and generous young man in his twenties.
Pity......
"Boom!"
The long sword was unsheathed, and in the sharp roar, the eyebrows of the gray corpse were directly penetrated.
Its hideous face gradually softened, and the red light of its eyes faded, looking at the young Taoist priest holding the sword in front of him, the corners of his mouth were torn apart with difficulty, as if he was grateful.
The next moment, his eyes completely lost their brilliance.
