Chapter 178 Gu Xu’s magical power
“Who are you?” Gu Xu asked.
"I am you!" The boy who was nailed to the Sansheng Stone had a relaxed smile on his face.
The smile of the white-haired boy seemed to have a unique appeal, which temporarily relieved Gu Xu's depressed mood.
“Me?” Gu Xu frowned slightly.
"Do you know why every monk needs strong emotional stimulation when he breaks through the 'Naihe Bridge' realm?" The white-haired boy did not answer his question directly.
"Is it to resist the negative emotions on the Naihe Bridge?" Gu Xu said with some uncertainty.
This is what is written in the practice books.
But his intuition told Gu Xu that this was probably not the answer the other party wanted to hear.
"Not exactly," the white-haired boy shook his head slightly, "Everyone has a true self hidden deep in their soul. The process of crossing the Naihe Bridge is the process of self-awakening."
Gu Xu was doubtful.
Because the words of the white-haired boy are completely different from the descriptions in all the books.
It’s just that he can’t confirm whether what the other party said is true or false now.
"Then why were you nailed to this Sansheng Stone?" Gu Xu asked again.
“Because of some external factors and some of your fault,” the white-haired boy replied, “Gu Xu, do you feel that as of today, your life is too depressed and too aggrieved? ?”
"Aggrieved?"
"Because you can only live to be thirty unless you become a saint, so you have been living a boring life like an ascetic, not daring to rest, not daring to entertain, and putting all your emotions and Desires are hidden in my heart. Even if I meet a beautiful girl I like, I don't dare to express my feelings. Now I am forced into a desperate situation by this old guy, and I don't dare to resist his orders. < br>
“You have the ultimate talent and the most noble fate in the world, but you live like this, don’t you feel aggrieved?
"Your current situation is actually no different from me who was nailed to the Sansheng Stone!"
The white-haired boy had a joking smile on his face, maybe he was mocking himself. Still teasing Gu Xu.
Gu Xu glanced at the nails stuck in the white-haired boy's body, and thought of the Kongxuan Sanren who had no plans, and sighed softly, feeling that what the other party said was indeed reasonable.
“But I have no choice.” He spread his hands and smiled bitterly.
“Actually, I once suspected that a person like you, who suppresses himself all the time, would never be able to cross the sea of bright red flowers on the other side, reach the 'Naihe Bridge', and help me untie my bonds. ," the white-haired boy looked at Gu Xu seriously, "Fortunately, that old guy Kong Xuan succeeded in arousing your anger at this critical moment."
"If I live to the end, I can reach the eighth level. I will definitely kill that old guy myself." Gu Xu said calmly.
"Very good," the white-haired boy said in an approving tone, and then glanced at the nail on his left shoulder, "Remember this hatred, and then please help me pull out this nail."< br>
Gu Xu took two steps forward, then stopped: "Just pull out a nail and I can gain magical powers?"
"Supernatural powers, that's just what ordinary people say," the white-haired boy said with disdain in his eyes "When their souls are strongly stimulated, they will solidify a unique ability according to their fate. This is an accidental phenomenon that will only occur once in a lifetime.
"But This ability to appear by luck is not worthy of you, or in other words, not worthy of us.
“Your power has a more noble name—
“It’s called ‘authority’. ”
"Authority..." Gu Xu muttered this word silently in his mind.
At the same time, his eyes swept across the four nails on the white-haired boy's body, and then fell on the wound on his forehead.
"According to you...these four nails represent four kinds of sealed authority?" He frowned slightly and said.
“Smart!” The white-haired boy smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
"Then what happened to the wound on your head?" Gu Xu asked again, "Is it possible that I already had a kind of authority before?"
"That's right." The white-haired boy replied.
“But I have never seen you before.”
“That nail fell off naturally the moment you came into this world,” the white-haired boy explained, “ The authority it represents is called 'wisdom'.
"Your ability to remember things, your ability to understand far beyond ordinary people, and your almost outrageous understanding all come from it. ”
Bowen Qiangji.
Unlucky genius.
The names of these two talents suddenly popped into Gu Xu's mind.
He had always thought that these two talents were randomly drawn in the game in his previous life, and were the legendary "gold fingers" necessary for time travellers.
But now it seems that the origin of these talents is not as simple as it seems?
"Come on, Gu Xu, help me pull out this nail," the white-haired boy pointed to his left shoulder, "It's time to find the true self."
"Why this nail?" Gu Xu asked again.
“You have so many questions,” the white-haired boy said with a bright smile, “What is the thing you desire most in your life?”
“Of course it is immortality. "
"What do you want most at this moment?"
"Get out of trouble and live."
"The authority represented by this nail may be able to help you solve this problem."
"Really?"
"It depends on how you use it."
At this moment, countless images flashed through Gu Xu's mind.
There is the black altar deep in Yishan Mountain, the nine clones of Kongxuan Sanren, the nine-infant snake monster wreaking havoc on the world, Yishui County that transformed into Zeguo, and Shi Xiaohan who fell to the ground in pain ……
How powerful is the authority needed to help him get out of this desperate predicament? Only in this way can we stop Kongxuan Sanren's plan to sacrifice one hundred thousand souls and become the "Ghost King"?
Gu Xu sighed, took a few steps forward, and according to what the white-haired boy said, he grabbed the nail nailed to his left shoulder with both hands and pulled it out hard.
In an instant, it was like a flood had broken down the dam. An invisible force surged in from all directions and instantly filled Gu Xu's body.
His consciousness became extremely clear, as if he was integrated with the whole world.
Under the Naihe Bridge, the dirty river water suddenly set off huge waves, and countless lonely ghosts floating in the river let out shrill roars.
It seemed that Gu Xu's breakthrough made them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
"Now, you have the second authority -'time'," the white-haired boy said with a smile. "Its uses are ever-changing. I hope it can shine in your hands."
Gu Xu quietly felt the new power in his body and did not respond immediately.
The white-haired boy added: "Go on, Gu Xu. All the misfortunes you have encountered so far are ultimately caused by your lack of ability. Only by becoming stronger can the problem be solved fundamentally. Only by becoming stronger can you protect the people you care about from harm.
“Keep moving forward! I will wait for you on the 'Wangxiang Terrace'. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the white-haired boy began to become blurry and would soon disappear on the "Naihe Bridge".
“Wait!” Gu Xu suddenly said, “I have another question!”
“What question?”
“You just said, Kong Xuan Sanren He is a frog in a well and talking nonsense," Gu Xu asked eagerly, "Can you explain it in a little more detail?"
"What Kongxuan Sanren said to you - 'Only by transforming into a ghost, can you explain it in detail? is the true path to the peak of power. This sentence is nonsense." The corners of the white-haired boy's mouth turned up slightly. "Ghosts are actually slaves to the rules of the world.
"Practice itself is like sailing against the current. If you follow the so-called rules, you will eventually lose yourself and be assimilated into this cold and dark world.
"Although the human race's practice method is to live towards death, the first eight realms It's all no problem.
“Only the ninth realm is a scam.” Oh, ‘The Way to Immortality’, this name is a lie at first sight. ”
Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and kept these words in his mind.
Then he bowed his hands to the young man and saluted: "Thank you for your advice!"
"You and I are one, why are you so polite?" the white-haired young man said with a smile.
The next second, he and the Sansheng Stone behind him disappeared from Gu Xu's eyes, leaving no trace.
Gu Xu looked at the empty Naihe Bridge and felt that everything that had just happened was like a dream.
"Time..."
"Escape..."
"The way to break the situation..."
He took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, and dug his nails deeply into his flesh.
Then he strode towards the other side of the Wangchuan River.
The flower on the other side blooms on the other side, only the flowers are visible, but no leaves.
As red as blood and as bright as a torch.
However, just when Gu Xu stepped on the ground on the other side of the Forgotten River, all the flowers on the other side withered and withered.
The petals slowly fell and were then buried in the dirty soil.
The boundless blood-red ocean completely disappeared into this dim netherworld.
The whole world was reframed into a monotonous gray and black color.
…………
Real world, beside the black altar.
Gu Xu slowly opened his eyes.
At this time, his face became extremely pale, his body temperature dropped a lot, and his heartbeat almost stopped.
If someone touched him, they might think he was a cold corpse.
"Have you mastered the "Zhaoming Forbidden Technique" initially?" Not far away, the hunchbacked old man turned around and asked.
According to the division of labor between Kongxuan Sanren clones, he is responsible for guarding Gu Xu at this time.
Gu Xu nodded and replied: "Initial results have been achieved. At present, I have crossed the 'Naihe Bridge' and broke through the third realm."
His eyes were cold and cold. Bing, no emotion at all.
"Very good," the hunchbacked old man nodded with satisfaction, "You are worthy of being my successor. He has successfully changed his practice method in such a short period of time."
Gu Xu said no more.
With a thought in his mind, he took out hundreds of fifth-generation "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppressing and Demon Killing Talisman" and held it tightly in his hand.
“What do you want to do?” The hunchbacked old man narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled contemptuously, “You don’t want to use this thing against me, do you?”
He didn’t understand what Gu Xu wanted to do. What to do.
The fifth-generation "ghost-killing talisman" is indeed powerful, and stacking many of them can even easily kill "evil spirit" level ghosts.
But for Kongxuan Sanren who has mastered the "Way of Cause and Effect" and is about to be promoted to the "King of Ghosts", even if there are thousands of "Ghost Killing Talismans", there is no threat to him at all.
Moreover, he is confident enough - as long as Gu Xu makes any dangerous move, he can control Gu Xu immediately.
But Gu Xu ignored his question.
He held the "Ghost Killing Talisman" and began to chant the "Ghost Expelling Curse" softly:
"Five stars suppress the color and illuminate the mysterious world. Thousands of gods and saints protect my true spirit. The giant beasts in the sky subdue all the soldiers. Wherever they are, all the gods respond with urgency!"
After he finished speaking, he gently threw the "Ghost Killing Talisman" in his hand.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xu did not throw the "Ghost Killing Talisman" at Kong Xuan Sanren.
Instead, he threw it at himself.
Suddenly, the talisman turned into a dazzling golden flame, like the rising sun, completely covering Gu Xu's figure.
Hisssssssssssssssssssssss.
The hot air surged upwards, and bright tongues of flames flew in all directions.
“He actually wants to commit suicide!” The hunchbacked old man opened his eyes wide.
He really couldn't imagine that Gu Xu would make such a decisive move in order to disobey his control.
Gu Xu has practiced the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique", but has not yet fully mastered it.
At this moment, he is half human and half ghost.
Humans are immune to the damage of the "Ghost Killing Talisman", but Gu Xu, who has ghostly qualities, is not.
The flames generated by these hundreds of "ghost-killing charms" can burn him to ashes in a short time.
Seeing such a scene, the hunchbacked old man wanted to use the technique of "attribution" to make up a story that "the ghost-killing talisman suddenly failed, causing Gu Xu to fail to commit suicide."
After all, an excellent experimental product like Gu Xu can only be found once in a while.
However, in the next second, the blazing fire suddenly dissipated.
Gu Xu stood quietly, unscathed.
In addition, the sinister aura on his body also disappeared without a trace.
His heart resumed beating, his blood began to rush, and the color returned to his pale cheeks.
The hunchbacked old man could feel that Gu Xu was a complete human being at this moment.
The only difference is that the bracelet made of black jade on Gu Xu's wrist broke into countless pieces and fell to the ground.
"Substitute bracelet!" The hunchbacked old man was shocked.
The "Substitute Bracelet" is a precious life-saving item given to Gu Xu by Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcist Department. It can resist a fatal attack from the outside world for the owner, and at the same time, it can relieve all negative effects and injuries on the owner. control.
Because Gu Xu had just become a half-human, half-ghost existence, the flame of the "Ghost Killing Talisman" was a "fatal attack from the outside world" to him.
However, the "substitute bracelet" also helped him relieve the negative effects on his body.
The evil spirit he had just absorbed was expelled from his body.
He is still a complete, uncorrupted human being.
The hunchbacked old man never expected that Gu Xu would use such a whimsical way to get rid of the influence of "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" on him.
But the old man chuckled lightly and didn't care about it.
He glanced at Shi Xiaohan, who was unconscious on the ground, and said to Gu Xu: "Do you really not want to practice the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique"? Well, I will take away your little lover's life. .”
