Chapter 8 Longtan

When Fan Wu came to the side of Longtan, he knew that he had come to the right place, the yin qi here was no longer in a state of non-existence, although it was not a large-scale existence, but it was so strong that it had formed a yin fog, covering the entire water surface.

The Longtan with a diameter of only 10 meters is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and on one side is the mountain road where Fan Wu stands, and the water surface is about 3 meters lower than the road surface, which feels like a natural well.

Looking down from the road, because of the obstruction of the fog, it was difficult to see the specific condition of the water surface clearly, so Fan Wu flew to a place half a meter above the water surface to feel it carefully.

The intensity of the yin fog here is incomparable, but where did it come from? I walked around the waterhole and found nothing special.

Finally, when I came to the center of the pool, I felt that the yin qi came from the center of the pool, and the yin energy continued to spray into the air from the water in the heart of the pool like a fountain.

However, for some reason, it does not spread outward, but forms a mist that covers the water surface, so the outside world above the road surface is basically unaffected.

Because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is estimated that even if the sun comes out during the day, the fog will not dissipate much, and the continuous yin qi is estimated to turn into a dense fog and then condense into water and fall back into the pool, forming a small natural cycle.

So what should the pool water here be called? Yin water, dark water, or is there another way of saying it?

Fan Wu, who knew that he had no answer, no longer wasted time, packed up his mood, closed his eyes in mid-air and began to absorb the yin mist, Fan Wu, who had already inhaled the yin qi a few times, quickly entered the state, and the yin mist entered the body through breathing to replenish the soul power consumed just now.

This time, Fan Wu finally clearly felt the situation of the word "you", perhaps because of the existence of the token, the speed of absorption and transformation of the word "you" was affected, and it seemed to be faster than before, and it should be more than twice as fast.

After the yin mist enters the body, it is directly sent to the right arm, and the transformation is completed after entering the token and circling around, and then it is returned to Fan Wu's soul body to absorb, of course, it is still to maintain the "fine style" of nine out of ten.

Fan Wu finally had a rough idea of the working principle of the word "you" and the "bloodsucking" character, but there was no way to deal with it for the time being, so he had to pretend that he didn't see anything, anyway, it would be good for him in the end.

At first, Fan Wu took the initiative to absorb the mist, but after half an hour, he may have disliked his speed too slowly, and the token increased the intensity of absorption, and slowly Fan Wu was already uncontrollably suspended in the air in a large zigzag, and his head was tilted back and his mouth and nose were wide open passively to absorb the mist.

Soon, the yin mist that had existed on the surface of the pond for I don't know how many years was almost about to be sucked up by Fan Wu, and the speed at which the yin qi spewed out from the center of the pool was transformed into mist and could not keep up with the consumption at all.

When the yin fog on the surface of the pool was swept away, Longtan seemed to be provoked, and the water surface in the center of the pool rolled up like boiling water, and the yin qi no longer leaked a little, but surged upwards one by one.

As the upsurge of Yin Qi increased, it temporarily maintained a balance with the speed of Fan Wu's devouring.

A large amount of soul power transformed into Yin Mist has been absorbed, and the single side of the word "you" tattooed on his right arm has completely turned white, and the word "Er" has begun to turn white at a glance.

"Er" began to bleach, and the mutation regenerated.

I saw that Fan Wu's right palm began to grow fine black scales from his wrist, and under Fan Wu's stunned, the entire right palm, including his fingers, was covered with dark scales.

The scales are not big, like fish scales, hold it lightly, it does not affect the movement at all, and the palm of the hand is reversed, although there are no scales in the palm, but there is also a layer of skin like a meat pad and like a stratum corneum, which looks a bit like a bear's paw.

Finally, from the tip of the five fingers, a sharp and hard nail of half a finger length grows, which is also black.

The entire right palm looked like the claws of a beast or a devil, and Fan Wu looked at his claws with surprise and delight.

I was shocked that I didn't know what the situation was now, was it because of the mutation caused by absorbing the Yin Qi of the Ghost Gate? Or was it the mutation about my past life caused by the token? Could it be that I was a devil in my previous life or was it simply a monster?

The joy is strength, no matter what causes the mutation, this claw looks a little scary, it is estimated that it will have a certain amount of power, this should not be a bad thing for his rookie little ghost, besides, he has already been a ghost, how bad can it be? Monsters and ghosts don't seem to be bad.

Moreover, the jade token is a thing from the past life, and it is solemnly transferred to myself in this life through the Jizo Bodhisattva, so it shouldn't hurt me.

Fan Wu, who was staring at his right palm, found that the matter was not over, after the mutation was completed, the token tattoo began to move towards the palm, and when the tip of the card moved to the palm of the hand, it began to appear, until the entire token appeared, and the devil's claw naturally held the lower half of the token to shake the hand.

After holding the token, Fan Wu had a kind of momentum soaring, the illusion of power, feeling that the token was in his hand, his confidence was bursting, and he had the boundless domineering spirit of God blocking and killing God and Buddha blocking*.

Of course, this was just an illusion, Fan Wu laughed self-deprecatingly.

Looking carefully at the jade token that has turned black, it is not that the jade has turned black, but that it seems that the inside is no longer a stone core, and has become a cloud of pitch-black liquid flowing, and the half-white word "you" is sandwiched between the jade surface and the liquid.

Fan Wu, who was watching, felt that the token suddenly emitted a downward traction, and the force was not large, as if it was a guide.

Below is the surface of the water, and it is the heart of the pool gushing out of the yin qi, is it not enough for the token to absorb the yin mist, you have to go directly to the water to continue to absorb the yin qi or directly absorb the water here?

Fan Wu looked at the sky and estimated that it was only about two or three o'clock in the second half of the night, and there was still time, so he descended to the surface of the pond with the guidance of the token, stretched out his right claw, and inserted the token into the boiling water.

As soon as the tip of the card touched the water, it was mutated again.

The traction force of the token suddenly increased dozens of times, and Fan Wu found that he seemed to have lost the ability to float, and was dragged upside down into the water by the token, and dived towards the bottom of the pool at high speed.

Longtan doesn't know how many meters or miles deep, anyway, Fan Wu has been diving for a long time and hasn't reached the end, and the water in the deep pool is pitch black, and Fan Wu's ghost eyes can't see any underwater scenes.

Fortunately, the pond fruit is really pure yin water formed by yin water, and while diving, it absorbs high-purity yin water through the high-speed transformation of the token, like taking drugs, Fan Wu's whole body is so comfortable that he can't help but shout out, but now he hopes not to reach the bottom of the pool too quickly.

After about an hour, a little yellow light finally appeared below, and as the distance got closer, I saw a hole like a spring with yellow water flowing out, and the end point of the token movement was probably this spring.

The yellow spring water slowly turned into pitch-black Longtan water after leaving a certain range of the spring, Fan Wu followed the token into the range of yellow water, and after coming in, the token lost its traction power, and Fan Wu slowly stopped.

After entering the yellow range, it was found that the yellow water has a purer yin qi than the Longtan water, but it is not purer, it should be said that it is more advanced.

The yellow water contained not the yin qi from the underworld, it should be the death qi from hell, Fan Wu didn't know why this idea came to his mind as a matter of course.

Ever since the idea came to me, several thoughts have popped up in my head.

It is one of the nine ghost gates in the world, which will be opened on the first day of July every year, allowing ghosts from the underworld to go to the world to enjoy people's offerings until July 14, when it is officially closed, cutting off the communication between the two worlds.

Although the development of the earth by modern civilization has reached the point of exterminating the natural world, there will always be some places that are known to humans but cannot be explored at all.

For example, at the bottom of Longtan, where Fan Wu is now, no matter how advanced the modern equipment is, it is impossible to come to such a deep place, let alone explore the interior.

Everyone's perception of Longtan is just that it is a high-quality mountain spring water, and ordinary people can't imagine that this is the location of one of the nine ghost gates.

And there is a spring at the bottom of the pond that leads directly to the Yellow Spring, Fan Wu is now standing on the top of the spring, and he is absorbing the dead air coming out of the spring with all his strength, and there is the word "you", which is equivalent to cheating accelerator, Fan Wu's soul power is like taking a helicopter all the way up.

As the strength grew, so did the thoughts.

The token in the hand is a common item for the ghost of the underworld, which is generally used for tolerance or execution, and the ordinary one is only wooden, and only the ten Hades will use jade to make the token.

Although it is more valuable, I have not heard of anyone who would carry it with him, let alone take it to the afterlife as a treasure.

Could it be that he was a high-ranking official in the underworld in his previous life? If so, you can explain why the ghost cha called himself an adult last time, and next time remember to ask him what his identity was in his previous life, and then look to see if there were any other treasures left back then......

"Bold!"

A thunderous roar from afar interrupted Fan Wu's thoughts.

He didn't respond rashly, and continued to breathe in the dead air, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Fragments of memory surfaced just now, and one of them said that Longtan, as the location of the Ghost Gate Pass, and as a cover for the Yellow Spring, Longquan has a guardian.

And it is also the origin of the name of Dragon Spring, because the guardian here is really a dragon, a ghost dragon.

The ghost dragon is not the dragon soul after the death of the real dragon, because the dragon soul does not enter the underworld, and the real dragon will either be reborn after death, or disappear directly, they are proud creatures, and they disdain to enter the underworld to be reincarnated.

Perhaps because heaven and earth have yin and yang, and things have positive and negative, the underworld naturally gives birth to creatures that are not much different from the real dragon.

The ghost dragon is a native creature of the underworld, and its various abilities are on par with the true dragon, but there is one of the biggest and fatal weaknesses is that it can't see the sun, and it will quickly dissolve and die under the sun, so it can only be the boss among the creatures in the underworld, and can't kill the six realms of the Three Realms like a real dragon.

Although the true dragon has never regarded the ghost dragon as a member of the dragon clan, and also looks down on them, the combat power of the ghost dragon is still ranked first among the creatures in the underworld, at least there should be no problem in the top ten.

"Bold little ghost, how dare you steal the death qi of Huangquan, this is the foundation of maintaining Longtan, and leaving quickly can spare you from dying. ”

The ghost dragon came to the outside range of the Yellow Spring Water and stared at Fan Wu's little ghost.

The hump-headed antlers and ox-eared snake neck are indeed the same as the image of the legendary dragon.

Fan Wu, who was standing in the middle of the yellow water, looked at this legendary creature excitedly, although it was a version of the underworld, but it also opened his eyes greatly.

"The kid has seen the ghost dragon seniors, I just borrowed this place to improve the soul power, it shouldn't affect the stability of Longtan, please don't worry, seniors. ”

Unhurriedly replied, Fan Wu, who was in the spring, was not at all afraid of the powerful netherworld creature like the ghost dragon, because according to the memory that came out just now, the Longtan caretaker could not enter the range of the spring, which meant that the ghost dragon could not set foot in the range of yellow water.

"Damn little ghost, you know that I can't touch the yellow spring water, that's why I'm so fearless. ”

The ghost dragon is a highly intelligent creature, and when he saw the weak Fan Wu's unhurried appearance, he judged where his confidence was.

Fan Wu, who was seen through all of a sudden, was a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to say, so he had to hug his fist embarrassedly towards the ghost dragon.

"I can't help you when you're in it, it's just that little ghost, have you ever thought about how to leave in the end?"

The ghost dragon ignored Fan Wu's goodwill and clenched his fists, and after speaking, he wandered out of Fan Wu's line of sight and disappeared.
