Chapter 45: The Ghost Ruins
The mottled ancient city walls glow with blue, and the Futu Pagoda stands majestically in the dark in the distance.
A faint gray mist shrouded the ruined city, and from time to time ghosts swept by.
Gu Chen shuttled between the broken walls, holding a sword in one hand, his face full of vigilance, and the white ape was followed by him.
"I didn't expect that behind the bronze gate, it turned out to be a ghost ruin. ”
He muttered that three hours earlier he had passed through the bronze gate, and then found himself in a ruined ancient city.
Based on his surroundings, he could easily tell that this was the infamous ghost ruins.
He had planned to pass through here and stay away from the Wind Forest Mansion, but he didn't expect to come true after a long circle.
This city is full of evil gates, and after coming here for three hours, Gu Chen has seen no less than five waves of ghosts.
Some were blue-armored skeletons that could walk freely, some were long-winged wandering corpses with most of their bodies decomposed, and some were simply ghosts that passed by him, bringing gusts of wind with gusts of wind.
The most terrifying time was when Gu Chen met a little girl in red with a sugar gourd half an hour ago, she was innocent, and her laughter was as pleasant as a silver bell, which was incompatible with this place.
"Brother, do you want to buy sugar gourds?"
When she approached and looked up, her face suddenly rotted, and maggots crawled in and out of her eye sockets.
Gu Chen's expression changed greatly, and he immediately swung his sword at that time.
It's just that the little girl disappeared in front of him like a burst of green smoke, and then he walked all the way, and he felt a sore shoulder inexplicably.
"Squeak-"
In the end, the white ape screamed a few times, and Gu Chen realized that the girl had not disappeared, and sat on his shoulder all the way, and he was unconscious.
This frightened him, and the majestic blood qi in his body exploded, and the yang energy was extremely heavy, so he finally drove away the lonely soul and wild ghost.
Since then, Gu Chen has been walking on thin ice, even if he sees any strange scenes in the city, he pretends not to see them.
There is a saying about the ghost ruins, it was once an incomparably prosperous and powerful city, even compared to the big cities of the Middle-earth Empire.
No one has delved into how such an ancient city could appear in the vast forest, but from the remnants of the broken walls, there is indeed a faint glimpse of the glory of the past.
On the streets, Yin soldiers with bronze Guge patrolled the streets, and blood-colored skeletons peeled open the thick layer of ashes, and turned out an unknown white spar from it, crunched and crushed it in its mouth.
Gu Chen turned a blind eye to all this, and he found that these dead things seemed to be in unconscious action, as long as they didn't provoke them, they wouldn't be in much trouble.
He came to a floating pagoda.
From afar, he saw that this tower was one of the tallest buildings in the ghost ruins, and the view was excellent.
Pushing open the half-collapsed tower door and using the Cold Star Sword to break through the dense cobwebs, Gu Chen walked along the mossy steps to the top of the tower.
There were no dead objects in the tower, but white bones could be seen on the steps from time to time.
Some of these white bones are human bones, some are animal bones, and some are simply strangely shaped, which is a race that Gu Chen can't understand at all.
It's hard to imagine what happened here, the reliefs on the walls are soaked in filthy black blood, and you can't see the original appearance full of artistic atmosphere at all.
Soon I reached the top of the tower, and through the window, I could overlook the entire ghost ruins.
This is indeed an ancient city, the city of death, and even the moon above your head is stained with a few traces of green.
Gu Chen saw the forbidden forest sea in the distance and recognized the direction of the Wind Forest Mansion.
"I'm afraid that the Hades Palace is searching for me everywhere, and if I can't find it in the Wind Forest Mansion, I will soon search for other places. In this case, the ghost ruins that the world avoids are the safest. ”
Gu Chen muttered, although the ghost ruins were very gloomy, they could completely avoid the eyeliner of the Hades Palace.
He decided to stay here for a while and wait until the limelight passed.
There was nothing to eat here, but fortunately, the storage ring given to him by his mother was filled with a lot of food, and there was even an elixir called Bigu Dan.
Therefore, he could stay here for a long time until he broke through to the Divine Realm.
Facing the killer of the Hades Palace, Gu Chen felt like he had been closed by the Ghost Gate.
If it weren't for the strangeness of the blood pool and the other party's ignorance, there would be no way for him to escape the clutches.
This made him even more thirsty for his own strength, and he had to step into the supernatural realm as soon as possible and become a true monk.
Only by becoming a monk can you master those great magical powers that call for wind and rain, and only then can you take revenge.
"That killer's storage ring has a lot of good stuff in it, but it can help me break through as soon as possible. ”
Gu Chen cleaned up the top of the tower, regarded this place as his temporary foothold, and counted the wealth he had now.
The killer's storage ring contained two sets of standard robes for members of the Hades Palace, several spell books, and a lot of Yuan Crystals, Pills, and Talismans.
In addition to being the hard currency of the monk world, Yuan Jing also contains the surging vitality of heaven and earth, and refining it can save many days of meditation and penance.
The killer's net worth is not expensive, and the Yuan Jing in the storage ring is completely enough for Gu Chen to impact the Divine Power Realm.
He was already a ninefold body in the flesh, and he was only one last level away from entering the realm of divine powers, the divine transformation.
The so-called divine transformation, in layman's terms, is the transformation of spiritual power into divine consciousness.
In the process of moving from the physical realm to the supernatural realm, everything from the periosteal muscle skin to the five internal organs has to be reborn, and the last step extends to the brain.
The brain is the most important part of the human body, and it is only after nine times of exercising the body that the supernatural powers are derived, but if you do not have the divine sense, it is extremely difficult to master the supernatural powers.
Divine power, divine power, that is, the divine mind is accessible, in order to make the power of heaven and earth.
Taking out a pebble-sized Yuan Crystal, Gu Chen ran the Tianchen Vientiane Technique and cultivated silently.
He wanted to rush to the Divine Power Realm in one go, and his mentality adjusted, and soon his breathing was stable, without joy or sorrow.
Seeing him meditating and cultivating, the white ape was bored, his eyes were dripping and rolling, and he ran down the Futu Tower.
Three days later.
The three hundred and sixty-five star points of Gu Chen's body, who was sitting quietly, suddenly bloomed with brilliance, pulling the power of heaven and earth from the outside.
This process lasted for about a stick of incense, and when everything was over, the Yuan Force in Gu Chen's body flowed, and the total amount increased dozens of times, flowing freely in the meridians of his body.
He broke through, and after consuming all the killer's Yuan Crystals, everything fell into place, without any shackles.
He didn't rush to open his eyes, but diligently mobilized the nascent divine consciousness in his mind and sensed everything around him.
Divine consciousness is transformed by spiritual power, similar to an extension of the five senses, but it has abilities that the five senses do not have.
At this moment, Gu Chen didn't need to open his eyes, within a radius of ten zhang, even a speck of dust clearly existed in his senses.
Not only that, his mind moved, and a stone five feet away suddenly shook slightly.
