In the sea of consciousness of businessman Yang Changfu, Shangguan Jin's spiritual thoughts started a fierce battle with the transparent Gu insect.
The small sword of spiritual thought shuttles quickly.
Transparent Gu worms were hiding in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, there are thousands of twists and turns.
Yang Changfu's soul was trembling on the side.
As a weak and helpless mortal, when the two big guys were fighting in his body, he could only stand aside silently, not daring to say a word, let alone intervene.
Shangguan Jin has completely gained the upper hand.
Her small sword of spiritual thought has already carried the force of thunder, and is about to launch the final blow to the Gu insect.
The aura of the transparent Gu insect has become extremely weak, and it seems that it will completely dissipate soon.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Shangguan Jin's expression suddenly froze on his face.
As a silver light flashed, the dying Gu insect's aura suddenly began to rise rapidly, and its size also increased dramatically - from a earthworm that could be killed with a wave of a hand, to a thick and long centipede.
Its entire body is black, with a pair of stubby tentacles and hundreds of body segments. Each segment has a pair of legs, making it look ferocious and terrifying.
"Damn it." Shangguan Jin cursed secretly in his heart.
She knew that the person behind the scenes was responsible.
Although she still doesn't know the identity of that person, the terrifying strength displayed by the other person at the soul level is enough to make her heart palpitate.
Before she could fully recover, the centipede's first pair of hooked legs began to secrete transparent venom continuously, flooding the entire space of consciousness.
Shangguan Jin's thoughts paused for a moment.
Immediately, a feeling of despair surged out from deep within her, like spring water, almost swallowing up her soul.
She seemed like a drowning person, floating in the water beneath the ice.
Someone was walking on the ice.
She beat the ice powerlessly, but no one noticed her.
And her feet seemed to be tied with heavy iron chains, pulling her down, dragging her into the endless abyss.
At this moment, Shangguan Jin already understood that the centipede's venom, just like her spiritual sword, was also a concrete product of some kind of spiritual spell.
It can arouse the opponent's negative emotions, causing them to spread and grow rapidly, until the opponent completely sinks into despair - after all, the soul in despair is often the most vulnerable.
She tried her best to fight against it.
However, many memories that had been buried deep in her heart still inevitably appeared in her mind——
She remembered that when her mother was dying, she stroked her cheek and whispered to her: "Xiaojin, you need to walk the road ahead by yourself."
She recalled that when she was working in an inn when she was a child, she accidentally broke a ceramic teapot. Boiling water splashed on her hands, causing small blisters one after another. The pain made her cry; but the innkeeper didn't notice her at all. With a painful expression, he just looked at his teapot with distress, then picked up the broom and beat her hard while cursing: "You clumsy fat pig!"
She recalled that during the Lantern Festival when she first joined the Exorcism Department as a clerk, she and her colleagues made an appointment to watch the lanterns by the Luo River. She used the money she had saved over the past few months to buy powder, rouge and golden steps. I want to dress myself up beautifully like girls my age. However, after her companions saw her, they couldn't help laughing, saying that she looked like a "big, thick man with makeup" and "an ugly woman on the stage."
She remembered that after working as a code official for two years, she finally got a chance to be promoted. She thought that with her merits and cultivation level, she would be able to pass the assessment and become a ninth-grade official. Unexpectedly, a " A distant relative of a certain thousand-year-old man" took away her opportunity.
…
A few years later, the chief minister said to her with sincerity: "The jade scriptures can be polished to make many useful tools. Once the sword is drawn and buried, it will rely on the sky. It is the suffering you have experienced in the past that has made you who you are today."
Shangguan Jin put a polite smile on his face and thanked the Chief Secretary for his teachings. She knew that the Lord Chief was right - without these painful experiences, she would never be like she is today, trying her best to become stronger and more perfect.
She thought she had already taken these things lightly.
But now, the "heart poison" has quietly awakened her unbearable memories, causing her mind to sink into a whirlpool of negative emotions.
She lowered her head and remained silent.
Only two lines of tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, flowed down her cheeks, and fell on her clothes.
…………
Gu Xu noticed the change in her expression.
With his spiritual perception far beyond that of ordinary people, he also clearly realized that the spiritual power of businessman Yang Changfu was rising rapidly, becoming more powerful than a low-level monk.
Of course he knew that this power was definitely not Yang Changfu's own power, but came from the person behind the scenes who controlled the "Heart Gu".
That man was far more powerful than he imagined.
Even Shangguan Jin, who was usually unfathomable, was losing ground in this spiritual battle, sinking into negative emotions and unable to extricate himself.
Gu Xu frowned slightly and looked at Shi Xiaohan beside him: "Xiaohan, fellow Taoist Shangguan may have encountered some troubles during the battle. I need to help her. If after seventy breaths, she and I will be unable to fight from the spiritual consciousness. If you can't escape, please rush back to the exorcism department immediately and tell the chief of the department about this matter."
Shi Xiaohan said "hmm" and nodded seriously.
Fighting on a spiritual level is too mysterious for her. She has never practiced in this area, so naturally she cannot get involved.
It was all she could do not to cause trouble.
And contribute as much as possible within the scope of your ability.
——Of course, even if she was tipped off, she might not be able to help.
Because Luo Sishou mastered the art of divine deduction, he could always pay attention to Gu Xu's life safety.
Gu Xu gave such instructions just to ensure nothing went wrong.
Kong Xuan Sanren once left a deep psychological shadow on him.
He was afraid that the enemy hidden in the dark also had the magic to shield the secrets of heaven.
…………
The next second, with the help of the mental spell "Solar Eclipse", Gu Xu's eyes turned into deep black.
His thoughts also drifted into Yang Changfu's conscious world, where he saw the huge and ferocious centipede, Shangguan Jin's spiritual sword, and Yang Changfu's trembling soul beside him.
The centipede's "venom" permeates this space.
As soon as Gu Xu's spiritual thoughts came in, he was inevitably overwhelmed.
Painful memories were quietly awakened.
He remembered that when he had just traveled to this world, he found that he would never see his parents, relatives and friends again. The emotions of fear, loneliness and sadness surged into his heart, making him overwhelmed.
He recalled that when he received the talent of "unfortunate genius", he smiled lightly on his face, but secretly cursed God a thousand times in his heart.
He remembered that he was at the black altar on Mount Yi, where he was forced to learn the "Zhaoming Forbidden Technique" by Kongxuan Sanren. Shi Xiaohan stepped forward angrily with a big sword in his hand, but fell down in front of Kongxuan Sanren. He could do nothing - he could only step onto the Naihe Bridge with silent anger.
If we say Shangguan Jin's negative emotions, they mainly come from the shadow of childhood, the words of others, and the loneliness of being uncared for.
So Gu Xu's negative emotions mainly come from the feeling of powerlessness that his fate is controlled by others.
As the white-haired boy on the Naihe Bridge said - "Your life is too depressing and too aggrieved."
He hated this feeling.
"Thank you." He smiled and said softly to the man who was hiding behind the scenes.
He is now climbing the "Homesickness Ridge", and he needs to experience various emotions and sharpen his Taoist mind with the help of the mortal world.
The other party happened to awaken the anger buried deep in his heart at this moment and gave him a great gift.
His pupils turned indigo.
The intensity of "Solar Eclipse" is no longer enough to defeat the opponent.
What he needs is a vast night sky.
PS: Please double the monthly ticket!
