Chapter 177 Naihe Bridge
Kongxuan Sanren pointed at this line of cause and effect and commented calmly:
“This elder named Chen Jisheng seems to have a very close relationship with you. So close! If I read correctly, he should be a conscientious and model official - not only working hard in daily life, but also not forgetting to save the people of Yishui in this crisis.
"I think, A person like him should deserve a heroic and tragic ending to a heroic epic.
“For example, when the Nine Infant Snake Monster was about to swallow several civilians into its belly, he flew over with his sword without hesitation and tried his best to save them. Unfortunately, the Nine Infant was too powerful and he Not only did they fail to rescue the victims, but they also fell——"
"——Stop talking!" Gu Xu's face was ashen and he interrupted him with a cold tone, "I listen to you, I will practice the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" right now!"
Gu Xu has already It was noticed that Kongxuan Sanren was casting the "attribution" spell.
The "end of the story" in his mouth will become a reality under the influence of the Avenue of Cause and Effect.
It must be said that Kongxuan Sanren once again grasped Gu Xu's weakness.
"Sure enough, I have to let you experience the true power of the art of cause and effect before you are willing to listen to me!" The white-bearded old man shook his head with a regretful smile on his face, "It's just that for disobedience The descendant must be punished a little, don’t you think?”
Gu Xu freed his arms from Shi Xiaohan's arms, suppressed the anger in his heart, kept a calm expression, and bowed to the white-bearded old Taoist priest: "Master Immortal, please forgive my offense. I am willing to obey. Your instructions are to practice the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" and explore the true Tao. But can you please let go of the people around you?" The white-bearded old man chuckled. "It depends on your performance."
At this moment, the old Taoist's eyes suddenly fell on a line of cause and effect on Gu Xu.
His face darkened, and his eyes suddenly became cold.
“I didn’t expect that you and the Snow Maiden have a close friendship!” The old Taoist restrained his smile, “Also, I was wondering why it took so long for the number of sacrifices to barely exceed 10,000. It turns out that It’s the snow girl who is secretly hindering my plan!”
…………
At the foot of Yishan Mountain.
The earth shook and the mountains shook, and corpses littered the fields.
The Nine Infant Snake Demon is trying to get out of the crack, causing the earth to shake violently.
At the same time, it also spits flames indiscriminately in all directions.
Mud, rocks, and even charred human limbs flew into the air and then fell down. The roar of the earthquake was vaguely mixed with the cries, wailings, and calls for help from survivors.
The area within hundreds of miles has become a hell.
Chai Biao and the monks were still running with all their strength.
Although they were out of breath and their muscles were sore, they did not dare to stop. Because if they were a little slower, they might fall into a bottomless crack or be burned to ashes by the flames of the Nine Infant Snake Demon.
At this moment, the monks suddenly heard the sound of a crane.
It shook the whole country and reached into the sky.
They couldn't help but raise their heads, and soon saw a crane passing above their heads.
This crane is made of ice and snow, translucent, and exudes a biting chill.
Then they saw a beautiful, dreamlike figure sitting on the back of the crane.
That is a beautiful woman who only appears in dreams.
Her black hair is like silk, and her skin is like snow.
The most wonderful light and darkness are all gathered in her grace and eyes.
The moment they saw her, the monks all held their breath and even forgot to escape for a moment.
The next second, Binghe flew to the edge of the crack.
The woman slowly raised her slender hands, and suddenly the clouds were thick, the mist was heavy, and the ground was covered with heavy snow.
They are sprinkled one after another, like cutting jade and flying brocade.
The fire in the crack dimmed instantly.
“Wow——”
In the heavy snow, the nine-infant snake demon’s shrill roar came.
The monks finally came to their senses.
They looked back for one last look and continued to run forward to escape.
…………
Yishui County.
Chen Jisheng rescued Wang Yang, placed him on high ground, and then flew the flying sword again to the flooded county.
At this time, he saw at a glance several county residents holding on to a wooden board and following the rapid current, floating towards the head of the Nine Infant Snake Monster sticking out of the water.
"Help! Help!" they shouted heartily in the water.
Chen Jisheng did not hesitate and flew over without hesitation.
“Wow——”
The Nine Infant Snake Demon suddenly turned its head and let out a sharp roar.
A huge wave like a city wall suddenly rolled up on the Yi River, as if thousands of war horses were charging towards the enemy camp, completely engulfing their figures.
…………
Deep in Yishan Mountain, next to the altar.
The white-bearded old man paused for a moment and continued: "But fortunately, the Nine Infant Snake Demon has nine heads, which are located in nine different areas of Qingzhou Prefecture. The snow girl's spell can only cover its head at most. A head will basically not affect my ritual.
"I am now in a critical period of promotion, and it is not convenient to deal with her directly. After I become the 'Ghost King', I will definitely make her look good. "
Then his eyes fell on Gu Xu again: "Practice the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" well and don't play tricks in front of me. Otherwise, your boss, your colleagues, and the little lovers around you will all become sacrifices in the promotion ceremony. ”
Gu Xu respectfully replied: "I understand."
Immediately, he sat cross-legged beside the altar, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.
Just like when he practices at home.
Seeing the frighteningly calm expression on Gu Xu's face, Shi Xiaohan suddenly panicked.
Although she doesn't know much about "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique".
But vaguely, she could sense that when Gu Xu practiced this terrible method, he would probably become a strange existence.
The string of reason suddenly broke.
Anger surged up and down in her heart like a tide, and the blood boiled and roared in her body.
Her lips trembled slightly, and a tooth mark had been bitten on her lower lip; her eyes were slightly red, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Uncontrollably, she pulled out the "Kunwu Sword" from behind with a "whoosh" sound, and used all her strength to strike hard at the white-bearded old man.
The Taotie shadow quietly appeared behind her.
At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten the difference in strength between them, and just wanted to tear this hateful old man into pieces.
But the next second, her movements suddenly froze.
She found that she could no longer control her body.
Driven by an invisible force, she floated into the air and fell to the ground with a bang. The "Kunwu Sword" also flew several meters away.
There were countless bruises on her fair skin, and red blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.
She groaned in pain and struggled to get up.
"Love is such a thing that can really make people dizzy!" Seeing such a scene, the white-bearded old man said while gently waving his fly whisk.
Shi Xiaohan's petite figure fell heavily to the ground again.
This time, she fainted completely and fell unconscious.
Gu Xu's eyes opened and closed quietly.
The expression on his face did not change at all.
But his face was extremely pale, there was no blood on his lips, and his hands were inadvertently clenched into fists.
"I never like to kill beautiful girls," not far away, the hunchbacked old man sighed and said leisurely, "This time, please spare her life first!
< br>"But, boy named Gu, if you have other evil thoughts, I won't be merciful. ”
Gu Xu was silent for a moment, and then slowly said again: "I understand."
…………
In Gu Xu's opinion, practicing "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" and practicing normal Kung Fu The Dharma is actually very similar. They all follow the dark road and continue to explore deeper into the underworld.
It's just that practicing "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" does not require thousands of tempering of Yin Qi to turn it into true essence.
But accept the evil spirit and let it integrate directly into your body. Therefore, there is no need to take pills.
During this process, Gu Xu's consciousness has remained clear, and his reason has not been swallowed up by the Yin Qi.
This made Gu Xu couldn't help but suspect that Kongxuan Sanren might be right - becoming a ghost and absorbing Yin Qi might be the right way to practice in this world.
Unconsciously, Gu Xu turned the ninth bend on "Huangquan Road" and came to the sea of bright red flowers on the other side.
This is the most beautiful scenery on the Netherworld Road.
From a distance, it looks like a blazing fire or a carpet of blood.
Gu Xu stepped into the sea of flowers and continued to move forward.
There is thunder in the eyes and anger in the heart.
No hesitation, no looking back.
He knew that this desperate situation was the best opportunity for him to advance to the third level.
Only by stepping on the Naihe Bridge with all your strength can you find a glimmer of hope.
Yin energy poured into his body like a wave, his heartbeat became slower and slower, and his blood gradually stopped flowing.
But he didn't realize it.
A moment later, Gu Xu arrived at the bank of Wangchuan River.
Other monks often get lost in the sea of flowers on the other side, and it takes many days or even many months to find the location of Wangchuan.
But perhaps because of his extraordinary talent or determination, this process only took Gu Xu a few minutes.
The Wangchuan River is full of insects and snakes, and the fishy wind blows against your face.
Gu Xu saw the blood-yellow turbid waves rolling in the river, heard the painful wails of the lonely ghosts who were not allowed to reincarnate, and also saw the lonely Naihe Bridge standing on the river.
The bridge is more than two feet wide, with carved stone railings on both sides. The bridge deck is slightly arc-shaped and paved with bluestone.
In the wilderness, there are many legends about Naihe Bridge.
Some people say that on the Naihe Bridge, they will see their past and present lives; others say that on the Naihe Bridge, they will see the people they care about most in their hearts.
At this moment, Gu Xu heard a voice from the bridge:
"You are finally here."
His steps suddenly stopped.
Because this voice is exactly the same as his own.
"That old guy Kong Xuan is talking nonsense. He is just a frog in the well. Don't believe him." The voice on the bridge continued, sounding lazy and contemptuous.
"Who are you?" Gu Xu asked in a deep voice.
"You will know it when you step on the bridge."
…………
The real world.
The old white-bearded Taoist stood on the side of the altar, watching Gu Xu practicing quietly beside him.
The evil energy gathered into a huge vortex above Gu Xu's head.
Then it poured like a waterfall into Gu Xu's body, causing his aura to rise sharply.
Every minute and second in this process is equivalent to Gu Xu's hard training in the past few days.
The old man showed a satisfied smile on his face.
This young man's cultivation talent surprised him more than once.
Not only is he far better than himself back then.
I am afraid that in the entire wilderness, there is no one before or after.
After Kong Xuan Sanren failed to ascend, although he barely managed to save his life with the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique", he could not completely preserve his "quasi-immortal" level cultivation.
His current strength is probably equivalent to a strong man at the peak of a saint.
After he successfully completes the "Ghost King" promotion ceremony, he should be able to possess the power of the "True King" level in the eighth realm.
But he still couldn't guarantee that he would be able to defeat Emperor Tianxing after becoming the "Ghost King".
And he felt that the "Ghost King" might not be the end of power.
After "Ghost King", there should be a whole new realm.
But there is no subsequent content in "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique".
In fact, there was no relevant information in this regard among all the books he had read.
The path of pursuing strength becomes more and more dangerous the further you go.
Kongxuan Sanren who have experienced life and death disasters do not dare to try easily.
It happened that at this time, he had a successor with extremely outstanding talent and understanding.
This successor is undoubtedly an excellent experimental product.
This young man seems to be indifferent to emotion and anger, but in fact he is very emotional in his heart.
As long as he makes good use of the threads of cause and effect on him, Kong Xuan Sanren feels that he can easily control him firmly in the palm of his hand.
As of now, everything is according to his plan.
The number of sacrifices is also rising rapidly.
Under the rampage of the Nine Infant Snake Monster, the number has exceeded 30,000.
"Let's start!" The white-bearded old man said to the other clones.
Then he walked straight to the altar.
Except for the hunchbacked old man who was responsible for guarding Gu Xu, the other clones began to chant the curse in unison.
The evil energy in the entire Qingzhou Mansion is gathering towards this altar.
The complex patterns on the altar had a gray-white luster.
It was eerie and dim, like a will-o'-the-wisp.
…………
Gu Xu slowly walked onto the Naihe Bridge.
When he stepped onto the bluestone steps, negative emotions hit his face like a tsunami, accompanied by the howling of ghosts and wolves.
If an ordinary person were standing here, he would have already fallen into madness.
But Gu Xu didn't take it seriously.
Because these negative emotions are nothing compared to the suppressed anger in his heart at the moment.
At this time, he saw a blue-grey stone standing in the center of the arch bridge.
The stone is ten meters high and less than two meters wide.
According to the book, this stone is called "Sansheng Stone".
It is the most difficult test for monks in the process of breaking through to the third realm.
It can use the monk's memory to construct an illusion that confuses people's hearts. If you don't pay attention, you will get lost in it.
But Gu Xu did not see any illusion.
He only saw a man nailed to the Sansheng Stone.
That man has exactly the same appearance as Gu Xu.
The face is like a crown jade, with sword-shaped eyebrows on the temples.
But his hair is silver-white, hanging loosely on his shoulders, like molten silver; his eyes are black at first glance, but the depths of his pupils are indigo, as if they are hiding vast stars.
The man's left and right shoulders and two legs were penetrated by long nails.
There was also a deep wound on his forehead, which seemed to be the mark left by a nail.
But this man seemed to feel no pain at all, and there was even a faint smile on his lips.
"Who are you?" Gu Xu looked at him and asked again.
