Chapter 182 The Second Ring (7000 monthly tickets please subscribe)
Ghost Street.
Midnight.
The night is getting dark.
In the eerie and quiet ghost street, Han Yumeng held the hand of the round-faced girl and ran around excitedly on the street.
The night wind was blowing, and it was extremely cold.
Han Yumeng was spinning around under a big locust tree, her floral skirt with purple petals swaying in the wind, and a few leaves suddenly fell on her face.
She laughed playfully, reached out and took it down, then grabbed the round-faced girl's hand and stuffed it into her hand.
Han Yumeng looked very happy and said happily: "Miss, do you know? When I just came out today, his expression and eyes when he saw me! Hahahaha!"
“But didn’t he still praise you?”
"Humph! He's so tough-talking! He's always tough-talking!" Han Yumeng smiled proudly, then ran to the other side: "Let's go, let's go watch him practice martial arts!"
Upon hearing this, the round-faced lady's expression changed drastically, and she shook her head like a rattle.
"No, no, no! I won't go! Let's go to the other side to play!"
"Ah? Why don't you go?" Han Yumeng was puzzled: "Miss, Why do I feel like you are afraid of asking him? Is it scary? I don’t think so! He has always protected me. I think he is very nice, but he is not forgiving..."
Han Yumeng thought for a while and then said: "Yes, he is just It’s just a matter of words!”
The round-faced girl didn't say anything, she just wasn't going anyway.
Han Yumeng then said: "Uncle Li Ziru will definitely ask me to study again later. Are you really not going?"
"No!" the round-faced lady said. He insisted that he would not go anyway.
Actually, as a female ghost, in her own opinion, He Wenzhi was tall, handsome, and strong. No matter from any aspect, he was almost unbeatable.
But...he is [the man who eats ghosts]!
This alone, in the eyes of ghosts, is enough to overturn all the previous advantages.
Tall and handsome, does life matter?
With great strength, is life important?
And no matter which aspect is good, it belongs to others, not to their ghosts, so naturally they can no longer have any ideas about He Wenzhi.
Especially, whenever the ghosts in this street think about whether they should change their views on He Wenzhi, He Wenzhi will suddenly show [Jie Ge Behavior].
How should I put this? After all, their current living environment is provided by the Zhenmo Division, and He Wenzhi has such a good relationship with the Zhenmo Division, so they will inevitably think about many things.
The two seniors from Zhenmo Division will also tell them that He Wenzhi is actually a good person.
After going back and forth like this, it is not surprising that they would try to change their views.
But He Wenzhi didn't know this. He saw these ghosts, although he really didn't plan to do anything to them.
However, [Jack’s behavior] is still a bit scary.
He asked if he wanted to go to my house to play. My house is quite big. If you are tired, you can just sleep in my house or something.
emm......
This will inevitably make some ghosts who have been persecuted think a lot. For example, does he want to ask us out and then take advantage of it?
After all, it’s not like a ghost street outside. This is a loss of shelter!
Furthermore, judging from the attitude of the seniors of the Suppressing Demon Division regarding him, they probably won’t care about the loss of one or two ghosts, right?
Fear... goes deep into the hearts of ghosts, especially when there is the premise of "a man who eats ghosts".
It’s a shame that He Wenzhi didn’t know this yet, otherwise he would probably have to add [Language Management] after learning [Expression Management].
On this side, He Wenzhi was sparring with Chen Tiankui.
Today’s sparring was initiated by Chen Tiankui, and he also said that it could be done with luck.
This was simply unprecedented, and He Wenzhi couldn't believe it.
Because I was afraid that he would regret it, I took action quickly.
The two were fighting back and forth for a while, and He Wenzhi's boxing style had always been straight forward, with a sense of defeating all methods with force.
Of course, it’s not that he can’t adapt, but it seems that he hasn’t encountered an enemy who needs him to adapt so far.
I have to say that his boxing style has a ruthless, unreasonable and very domineering aura.
At this moment, Chen Tiankui suddenly laughed and said: "Boy, lest you say later that I, a senior, bully you, a junior, I will tell you the truth first, why I am sparring with you today? , that’s because I just had a breakthrough yesterday! Hahahaha!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Tiankui let out a long laugh, and his whole body immediately glowed with red light, as if the strong blood vapor was emitted after the blood was burned.
At this moment, his muscles were also bulging, like iron ball bumps.
He grinned and clenched his hands violently. Even his two chest muscles were beating with the force of his arms.
"Boy, didn't you say last time that you had figured out the rudiments of [Killing Technique]? Come on! Let me try it! I won't bully you, I will fight you with my fists!"
“Seriously?” There was fire dancing in He Wenzhi’s eyes.
Just talk about why Chen Tiankui suddenly took such initiative today. It turns out that he has broken through to the peak state of [Si Yeji].
Although it is not yet [Yu Guang], it is only the last step away from that realm.
Thinking about it, he should have gained some insights when he was injured by the sewing man. Now that so much time has passed, he finally broke through.
As expected, only combat is the easiest way for people to break through!
"Of course it's true! As a senior, how can I lie to you, a brat like you?" Chen Tiankui was still grinning, and his aura was still rising.
"Okay!" He Wenzhi also laughed involuntarily, and a white light was rising.
The blazing flame burned, but was not fully ignited.
We are all on our own, and they are just competing for each other, so no one will use their full strength.
But even so, the momentum exuded by He Wenzhi still made the ghosts in the ghost street feel scared and tremble.
Because they are so familiar with this momentum, that is [the man who eats ghosts]!
Bang bang bang!
He Wenzhi clenched his right fist, and the power of the fist continued to accumulate, violent energy gathered, and the milky white flame was mobilized.
The energy turns around and the flames merge into one.
At this moment, both people present moved!
Boom!
Bang! Bang!
There was a huge collision, and under the collision of red and white, a fierce aura swept away along with the scorching heat.
The smoke and dust all over the ground was swept up, and the shock wave rolled wildly, causing the surrounding locust trees to tremble uncontrollably.
Phew!
But suddenly, another burst of energy hit, and the air wave rolled wildly again. The leaves of several locust trees around were blown away by this air wave in an instant.
When the smoke cleared, the two of them were still fist-bumping, but the corners of Chen Tiankui's mouth were a little twisted.
He snorted and said: "Boy, stop your strength!"
He Wenzhi was a little confused. He was not satisfied with just a punch exchange!
Originally, he thought of continuing to attack at that moment, but found that Chen Tiankui had not moved, so he restrained himself.
Gradually he regained his strength and aura, and the blood on Chen Tiankui gradually dissipated.
It was only now that his face looked better.
"This kid is a freak!" Chen Tiankui muttered in his heart: "I am already at the peak of Night Angel, and my hand was numbed by him with just one punch..."
Chen Tiankui actually wants to continue playing. After all, he has made a breakthrough, so he wants to take advantage of the breakthrough now to regain the dignity he lost as a senior.
But little did he know that the person would be numb immediately after one punch.
This also made him realize that he could no longer fight. If he continued to fight, he would really be embarrassed again.
He turned around and rubbed his hands so that He Wenzhi wouldn't see them.
Then he slapped He Wenzhi again and said in a loud voice: "What a kid! You're actually playing tricks on me! You said you would only touch one punch, but you're still hiding it in secret. One punch!”
“… ..." He Wenzhi was speechless and explained: "I really only used one punch... The prototype of the [killing method] I realized is like this."
This is what he heard. Chen Tiankui quickly asked He Wenzhi to explain.
Although I have heard He Wenzhi say it before, it was not as detailed as this time.
After roughly understanding it, Chen Tiankui was amazed.
"Boy, this move of yours is very destructive! If my strength is equal to yours, but I don't know it at all, I will probably suffer a big loss! If my strength is not as good as yours, I'm afraid if I throw this punch, I will suffer a big loss." It will be folded directly into your hands," Chen Tiankui said.
He thought again and said, "Boy, how much force did you use just now?"
"How many percent did Senior Chen use?"
"I As a senior, how can I bully a junior like you? Of course I don’t use my full strength!”
He Wenzhi smiled: "I didn't use all my strength..."
"You are right not to use all your strength. This is respecting the elders...!" Chen Tiankui glanced at him, pretending to be fine on the surface, but in his heart It was a big shock.
"Yes, yes, yes." He Wenzhi rolled his eyes and did not try to make trouble.
He didn't say exactly how much effort he used, but he mainly knew that Chen Tiankui loved face.
Chen Tiankui didn't say anything because he was afraid that if he did say it, the other party would use less than he did, which would be even more embarrassing.
So... neither of them said how much force they used in the end.
They looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Chen Tiankui: "Boy, you are very good! This punch is very powerful. If there are a few more hidden punches in it, this can definitely be a trump card!
Say it is [ Killing method], well deserved ! "
"Haha!" He Wenzhi laughed and said: "Senior Chen is also very powerful. What you used just now was not your best. If senior used an ax, it would be different. ! ”
"That's that! Hahaha!" Chen Tiankui saved his face and looked very happy.
He suddenly thought about it and said: "Boy, since this can be regarded as the prototype of [Killing Method], have you ever thought about naming it?"
"I have thought about it. There’s just nothing suitable.”
“I saw what you just said. In this punch, there will be two explosions with one punch, and there will be flames coming from behind. Or is it called a double explosion? "
"Double explosion?" He Wenzhi thought for a moment. : "Since it's a booming sound, the second blast sounds better."
"That's up to you, it's your [killing method] anyway, you just have to decide." Chen Tiankui said.
He Wenzhi thought about it for a while. He had been thinking about the name for a long time. He had always felt that he did not have any talent for naming. Now that Chen Tiankui mentioned it, he thought it would be good to call him this name.
Now one punch is equal to the power of two punches, so it is called the double ring.
Afterwards, the three punches are the three-fold sound, and the ten punches are the ten-fold sound.
Because there is flame behind it, then add the word "fire".
Thinking like this, He Wenzhi said: "Senior, what do you think of the double fire fist?"
"Okay!" Chen Tiankui nodded: "The flames are there, and the number of bursts is also there!"
"Well..." He Wenzhi thought about it again, then he might as well decide like this first!
For now, let’s slowly develop this [killing method]. If one day we can achieve the power of a hundred punches in one punch.
He suddenly thought, if the milky-white pillar of fire that day was really integrated into it, it would be the power of a hundred fists, right?
If this [Killing Technique] is really developed to that extent, maybe it wouldn't be appropriate to call it several levels of Fire Fist.
He was thinking to himself, and a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.
“If we can really achieve that step, then we might as well exaggerate and call it [Hundred Nuclear Explosive Fist!]” With this thought in his mind, He Wenzhi couldn’t help but nodded: “Well, very Not bad! That’s it!”
…………
In this way, time passed day by day, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
July has flown by and now it’s August.
The weather at this time is still hot. After all, we are in the south. Even in September and October, the temperature is always over 30 degrees and remains high.
This is only the temperature given by the weather forecast. If it is the body temperature, it will be higher.
In such weather, during the day, except for some people who have to work at this time, it is almost difficult to see anyone walking outside on the street.
At night, when the temperature gradually drops, you can see more and more pedestrians, especially in some squares and parks, where there are more people.
During this half month, He Wenzhi kept repeating several things.
Go to Daozhang Wang to see the progress of his research, then go to the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau to see the zombie girl, and then go to the ghost street every night to practice martial arts.
As for Taoist Wang’s research, the underworld weapon is not an ordinary thing after all, and Taoist Wang is only one person, so there is no progress yet.
The zombie girl was still the same. She seemed very excited when she saw He Wenzhi. Anyway, she just screamed and occasionally danced, but she didn't know what she was expressing.
She has always stayed in the coffin and never came out. It seems that she really likes this place.
And if He Wenzhi was not around, she would sit silently by herself, not calling or moving.
If not sitting, then she is lying down.
Perhaps she has long been accustomed to such a life. When she was still in the secret realm of the Northland Grottoes, she might have been locked in a small and dark place in it.
So, she did not reject the current situation at all. On the contrary, she felt that it should be like this, and it was natural.
After such a long period of observation and research, Captain Chen could only tell He Wenzhi one conclusion.
"She is just a puppet..."
When he said this, Captain Chen seemed a little unhappy.
He really couldn't understand why he wanted such a young girl to be a key, and he just instilled in her the idea that she was just a key.
Wouldn’t it be helpful to teach her a little more?
And...is she a born zombie?
Captain Chen suddenly thought about this problem.
He may have felt pity for her.
I don’t know if this is good or bad at all.
Speaking of which, in the past half month, Chunshi has really become more and more peaceful.
There are almost no ghost incidents, and the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau is as if they are on vacation.
Li En's life is quite comfortable now, and his relationship with the food-eating ghost is getting better and better.
It’s just that his hair always seems to be getting a little thinner, and his face has been a little pale recently, and he has a little dark circles under his eyes.
I thought that life would continue to be dull and uneventful, but suddenly on August 6th, several supernatural and ghostly and harmful incidents occurred around the spring market at the same time.
No trace of ghosts has been found in the city yet. These incidents are all in the surrounding area, and they are all in different places.
The Spiritual Investigation Bureau also immediately launched an investigation. There were several cases suddenly overnight, which always gave people a vague and unusual feeling.
But on the night of the fight on August 10th, when He Wenzhi was practicing martial arts on Ghost Street, Li Ziru suddenly told him.
“My little friend, the spiritual eye that has been operating in the Spring City area seems to have settled down recently. According to the investigation, it should be combined with the dragon vein of Tianji Mountain...”
< br>"Is something bad going to happen?" He Wenzhi didn't quite understand the meaning, so he asked directly.
Li Ziru nodded, then shook his head.
He said: "There is a dragon vein in our spring market. This dragon vein stretches and converges to Tianqi Mountain, where it naturally becomes the dragon's head..."
Li Ziru explained this.
It was because the male evil corpse was placed in Tianqi Mountain, and with the help of the power of the dragon veins and the power of the mountains and terrain, that he changed so much.
Now that the spiritual eye is suddenly combined with Tianqi Mountain, there is only one possibility that Li Ziru can think of at the moment.
That is - the secret realm!
Moreover, there are countless legends about Tianchi Mountain, not to mention that the kings of all dynasties worshiped heaven and earth there, and even the first generation of empress was born here.
And all of this is due to another person and the force under his command.
Xuanwu Pavilion!
According to legend, the Demon-Suppressing Division has an unclear relationship with Xuanwu Pavilion.
Li Ziru was from the Demon Suppressing Division, so He Wenzhi immediately asked.
Li Ziru said that it was too long ago and he was not sure. He had only seen and heard about it in some ancient books.
I heard that the Demon-Suppressing Division was eliminated once before, and it was through that person.
And it was that man who led the Xuanwu Pavilion and the Demon Suppressing Division to end the chaotic world of demons and demons back then.
It is said that the Xuanwu Pavilion was built on Tianqi Mountain.
In short, Tianchi Mountain can be said to be a quite unusual place in the entire Eastern Continent.
If a secret realm really comes there, I’m afraid this secret realm is not simple either.
"Can you estimate the time when the secret realm will open?" He Wenzhi suddenly asked.
Although the spiritual eyes will bring many possibilities, they have been combined with the dragon veins of Tianji Mountain, so the possibility of the secret realm appearing should be the greatest.
“Since they have been combined, it shouldn’t take much time.” Li Ziru said: “And on August 6th, several incidents suddenly occurred in the surrounding area at the same time. I am afraid that even the ghosts were aware of it.
Secret The benefits of the realm are self-evident, and they should be thinking about them too!
And not to mention those benefits, the spiritual energy that bursts out when the secret realm is opened should not be underestimated, if it is used for cultivation. , the progress is unimaginable!”
"Is it so exaggerated?" He Wen was stunned. He had experienced the secret realm once, but it was not as exaggerated as he imagined.
Li Ziru said: "Tianqi Mountain is not an ordinary place. We have been observing that spiritual eye for a long time, and it is not comparable to ordinary spiritual energy bursts.
Only based on what we know so far Judging from the data, I can only give one sentence to describe the difference in cultivation speed caused by the different internal and external auras."
He Wenzhi didn't speak, just looked at him, waiting for him. below.
Li Ziru took a deep breath: "One day in the sky, one year on the earth!"
Even he himself found this comparison too terrifying!
This will mean that if you can enter the secret realm of Tianji Mountain to practice for one day, it will be equivalent to one year in the outside world!
Who wouldn’t be crazy about such a terrifying contrast?
Whether they are cultivators, awakened people, or ghosts, they cannot refuse such a temptation!
"And..." Li Ziru added: "The unusual secret realm is opened, and the burst of spiritual energy it brings is unimaginable.
By then... I'm afraid there will be new dust-laden ghosts awakening..."
Hearing these words, He Wenzhi felt a little hot in his heart, and there was fire beating in his eyes.
< br>He stretched out his hand and couldn't help but grab the sachet containing Huang Xiaoyan's ashes.
If the secret realm is really opened, it is inevitable that a large number of ghosts will be brought. There are ghosts that can be killed and the strength can be improved. He Wenzhi is naturally happy
However. What concerned him more this time was Huang Xiaoyan.
Her soul is incomplete, and the other two souls and seven souls are likely to be imprisoned somewhere, or even sealed.
This is what Li Ziru told He Wenzhi at that time.
Later, Li Ziru also tried many methods to find out where Huang Xiaoyan's soul was, but he was cut off every time.
It feels like the other two souls and seven souls have been transferred to another space, another world!
If it is really said that it was transferred to another space or another world, then based on the information currently known, where is it most likely to be?
Only the secret realm!
If Tianji Mountain really opens a secret realm, this is by no means a simple secret realm, then is it possible that it is closed, or seals one of Huang Xiaoyan's two souls and seven souls that were separated?
He Wenzhi raised his head and looked at Li Ziru. Perhaps he guessed what He Wenzhi was thinking and nodded.
"Senior...?"
"Don't worry, younger siblings... Well, I have been thinking about Miss Xiaoyan, and I will take care of it whenever I have time. One hexagram.
Looking at it now, it can be said that the secret realm is the most likely. "Li Ziru said this.
Even the seniors of Zhenmo Division said this. He Wenzhi turned to look at Huang Xiaoyan who was wandering alone over there. He suddenly felt the urge to rush up and pull him away. hand, and then told her all the news at once.
He took a deep breath, and finally. Still didn't really rush in.
After all, it was just a possibility. He didn't want to let Huang Xiaoyan down again because of the same thing.
Recalling that he had gotten a little clue every time. Then when it stopped immediately, Huang Xiaoyan’s reaction and expression at that time
That feeling of loneliness and loss, as if the whole world had isolated her.
To be honest, He Wenzhi never wanted to see Huang Xiaoyan look like that again.
Even if she only maintained it for a while, these emotions would immediately disappear.
But she must have been sad at that time, right?
Thinking this in my heart, the hand holding the sachet became tighter.
Li Ziru patted He Wenzhi on the shoulder and asked him to relax as much as possible.
Just listen to his sincere words: "I know you care about this matter. Tiankui and I care about it too. After all, Miss Xiaoyan is my and his sister-in-law.
You Don’t worry, if the secret realm is opened by then, just go in and look for it, and you don’t have to worry about anything else, I will find a way to solve it!”
He Wenzhi was inexplicably moved when he heard this.
"Senior Li, thank you..."
"Thank you." Li Ziru smiled, but said nothing.
At this time, Huang Xiaoyan turned around and found He Wenzhi with a smile on his face. He was still circling outside. She was a little curious and floated over.
"Why are you so happy? Is there anything good?" she asked.
He Wenzhi smiled but said nothing, just didn't say anything.
He actually wanted to say it, but he was just afraid that it would make Huang Xiaoyan happy in vain.
At this time, he said: "Senior, I will leave tonight."
"Okay." Li Ziru nodded: "Don't you say hello to Tiankui?"
"No. No!" He Wenzhi shook his head: "I don't know what happened recently, but Senior Chen seems to be autistic again..."
Speaking of which, after that sparring session, it was just one punch. Chen Tiankui But suddenly he acted like he couldn't think about it.
Is it because you lost even though you made a breakthrough?
that's all.
After bidding farewell to Li Ziru, He Wenzhi took Huang Xiaoyan's hand and asked her to lie on his back. Then he called Han Yuluo and Han Yumeng and took them home together.
On the road.
He Wenzhi always had a smile on his face, but he couldn't ask anything, which made them a little depressed.
At this time, He Wenzhi took a glance and found that the car was low on gas.
After searching on the navigation system, he was going to go to the nearest gas station to fill up with gas.
It’s only two o’clock in the morning and the night market is still open!
After refueling, I took them to the night market for a big meal.
emm, seven thousand words today...
Continue to work hard tomorrow!
