Gu Xiaoxing was suddenly startled, partly because of the change in the expression on the paper doll's face, but more because of the sudden voice in her mind.
He was so scared that he almost screamed!
It was a voice as tender as a little girl's. It was very kind, but not familiar!
In the entire world of cultivation, Lu Ling'er is the only one who calls him "little brother", but Gu Xiaoxing can be sure that this is definitely not Lu Ling'er's voice!
Suddenly, a strange and weird feeling came straight to his forehead, making him feel frightened and panicked!
"Who!? Who is talking!"
Gu Xiaoxing stared at the paper girl doll in front of the brazier. At the same time, he was looking around from the corner of his eye, paying special attention to the condition of the rickety girl beside him!
But after waiting for a long time, there was no response, and the little girl's voice did not appear in my mind again.
Only the paper girl doll in front of the brazier, with a smile on her face, glowed faintly under the faint light of the fire, as if she was also looking at Gu Xiaoxing.
When Gu Xiaoxing was in Fulai Village, she was also afraid of ghosts.
But since I entered the Soul-Eating Sect and entered the Tao, my horizons have been constantly opened, and my cultivation has reached the current state of becoming a god!
In fact, he is no longer afraid of ghosts!
According to the understanding of the cultivation world, so-called ghosts are actually divided into many categories.
The ghosts left behind after someone dies. Most of these ghosts cannot last forever and will dissipate quickly without knowing where they went.
There are also some special ghosts among them, either because of too deep obsessions or too heavy resentments, they will turn into evil ghosts, or even become a climate, and they can enter Taoism as ghosts and cultivate as ghosts!
However, most of these ghost cultivators only cultivate to the point of perfect Qi condensation, and very few can complete the construction of ghost foundation.
Because there is no spiritual wisdom, the difficulty of cultivation is countless times greater than that of ordinary monks, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Including other types of ghosts, they are actually pretty much the same. Most of them cannot survive forever in the world, and very few of them can really become popular!
If mortals are afraid of ghosts, then for cultivators, it is more about refining ghosts into toy puppets!
Unless it is a cultivator who transforms into gods, or even a being above him, after the physical body is destroyed, the soul escapes and escapes into the ghost realm. This kind of ghost cultivator is difficult to deal with after all!
But in fact, very few god-transformation monks would do this. Rather than taking the path of becoming a ghost cultivator, they would rather find a new body to seize the body.
And if you go deeper, it’s the kind of meditation that Gu Xiaoxing can see!
This is an obsession that lasts forever after death. In fact, this is beyond the scope of ghosts.
But even if his soul has long since disappeared, these meditations can still burst out with great power.
Everything is justified, and those who know it have nothing to fear!
But what appears in front of Gu Xiaoxing now seems to have completely subverted his concept. There is no meditation, no ghost, nothing.
But he felt that there was an unknown existence looking at him, and because of this unknown, he felt even more terrifying.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing seemed to have turned back into the ignorant boy he once was, fearful of ghosts and monsters again.
"The paper money is also burned. Can I get off the boat?"
Gu Xiaoxing said in a trembling voice, her heart almost couldn't bear it anymore, and she just wanted to escape from the ship immediately.
But the rickety girl did not answer him, but when she raised her hand, a stick of incense suddenly appeared in her hand.
The fine incense was burning, and wisps of green smoke floated up. The rickety girl just held the burning incense and stood in front of the brazier and bowed deeply.
Although Gu Xiaoxing was already frightened, the rickety girl didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to run away, so he could only watch this scene silently.
I don’t know whether the rickety girl is worshiping the brazier or the paper doll in front of the brazier.
Gu Xiaoxing only saw that as the rickety girl bowed, the incense in her hand burned out quickly. When the long ash of the incense fell down, the entire incense disappeared completely.
Then, the rickety girl took a step back, turned her head, and looked at Gu Xiaoxing again, motionless.
Gu Xiaoxing held back her mouth and thought again
Cried.
Burning the paper money was not enough, he also had to burn incense. Of course he didn't want to, but facing the rickety girl's empty eyes, he saw that the other party was about to open his mouth again, which frightened Gu Xiaoxing into panic and spoke quickly.
"I'm going up...can't I go up?"
With that said, Gu Xiaoxing took a step forward and came to the brazier. When he raised his hand, a piece of incense appeared in his hand.
He tried to use his cultivation to light the incense, but found that the incense... would not burn!
Gu Xiaoxing tried various methods, but strangely, the incense could not be lit no matter what!
Gu Xiaoxing even changed several kinds of incense. There are all kinds of things in his storage spirit treasure, including many incense.
And most of them are not ordinary ones. Some can concentrate and meditate, some can attract the gods and gather spirits. Some incense can even be directly absorbed after being lit, improving cultivation like elixirs.
But no matter what kind of incense it is, Gu Xiaoxing cannot light it at this moment!
Finally, he turned around in frustration and looked at the rickety girl as if asking for help.
The rickety girl just looked at him quietly and said nothing.
So Gu Xiaoxing had no choice but to ask, weakly: "Senior, can you give me a piece of incense?"
The rickety girl still didn't react at all, she just looked at him without speaking.
The helpless Gu Xiaoxing had no choice but to turn his head and look back at the brazier, then waved his hand, and the burning incense appeared in his hand.
In the end, he could only take out this treasure that was at the bottom of the box. If he couldn't even burn the incense, he was really at his wits end.
The moment the burning incense appears, there will be curls of green smoke, and there is no need to light it at all.
In other words, it was always burning!
Gu Xiaoxing glanced at the burning incense in his hand, but it showed no sign of extinguishing it.
"It really works!"
Gu Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief, then held the incense in both hands, faced the brazier, and bowed deeply to the paper doll!
boom……!
Suddenly, the world roared and there was a huge earthquake in the deep space!
With Gu Xiaoxing's bow, the whole world seemed to be divided in front of him, revealing another world that was deeper than deep space and darker than darkness!
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xiaoxing saw that in the deep world, there was a big skeleton hand coming from a distance. In an instant, it was already very close!
The skeleton's big hand covers the sky and the earth, infinitely large, infinitely large, as if it is bigger than everything Gu Xiaoxing can see!
The moment he saw this big skeletal hand, Gu Xiaoxing felt a huge shock in his heart!
He has seen this hand before!
It was the big skeleton hand that once took away the old village chief!
The only difference from last time is that the index finger bone of the big skeleton hand has been completely replaced, and the only thing missing is half of the thumb bone!
At this moment, as the skeleton's big hand grabbed him, Gu Xiaoxing had no resistance and was completely frozen in penetration, as if he was going to be crushed in the next moment. ..
However, at this moment, all the burning paper money in the Paper Money Tree Mountain on the old ship suddenly went out, darkening the old ship that was flickering with fire.
The next moment, the skeleton's big hand grasped the entire old ship in the palm of his hand, and quickly took it back, as if he wanted to take the old ship away.
But the strange thing is that the entire old ship, including the people and objects on it, seemed to suddenly become an illusion, penetrated by the big skeleton's hand, leaving it empty and unable to take anything away.
The big skeleton hand came and went as fast as it came, then retracted it in an instant and disappeared into the deep world.
The separated world was closed again, and the deep space world became peaceful again.
When Gu Xiaoxing suddenly came back to his senses, he found that he had gotten off the boat at some point and was floating in the deep sky. Everything before was like a dream.
It was as if he had never encountered any old ships, no rickets, and no big skeleton hands!
He even had the illusion that he accidentally fell into an illusion because he activated the hallucinogenic crystal!
But when he subconsciously turned his eyes to the burning incense in his hand, he was stunned again!
I saw that the Randao Incense, which had been burning for decades and had not become shorter, actually... became a little shorter!
It doesn’t really get shorter, but there is a small section on the incense head, about half an inch, which turns into the light white incense ash left after burning!
Gu Xiaoxing suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
An old ship was slowly moving away, and the paper money on the paper money tree was burning, making the whole old ship glow with a yellowish light. The rickets squatted in front of the brazier, burning each piece one by one. paper money.
Until the old ship gradually disappeared from Gu Xiaoxing's sight, he suddenly realized that there were no dreams or illusions.
Everything is true!
Gu Xiaoxing slowly turned around, looked at the burning incense in his hand, and at the half-inch of incense ash on the burning incense. For a moment, his thoughts were in a mess!
He thought of the big skeleton hand and the old village chief.
Why does the big skeleton hand appear again, and why does the burning incense suddenly burn out?
Where did the old boat come from, where did the old village chief come from, and where did he... himself come from?
Gu Xiaoxing doesn't know, but there must be some connection between them!
At this time, the half-inch of ash on the burning incense slowly fell off, and the entire burning incense also changed from the original three feet and six inches to the current three feet and five and a half inches.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at the falling incense ashes, and an inexplicable desire arose in her heart!
Almost subconsciously, he reached out his hand and caught the ashes.
Immediately afterwards, a strange scene happened!
The moment the half-inch of incense ash fell into the palm of his hand, it was like a drop of water falling into the lake, directly integrating with Gu Xiaoxing.
Suddenly, a strange feeling appeared in Gu Xiaoxing's heart, as if what was blended was not the ash, but an energy that was incomparably compatible with Gu Xiaoxing!
Gu Xiaoxing felt an unprecedented sense of comfort coming over him, spreading to his body and mind, and even every corner of his soul.
This feeling was just like when he absorbed the first wisp of incense smoke in the dark wood forest, only more intense!
It's as if everything in oneself is being nourished and becomes more complete due to the integration of that half-inch of incense ash!
I don't know how long it took, but when Gu Xiaoxing slowly opened his eyes, his cultivation level was improved again, and before he knew it, he had reached the peak of the early stage of divine transformation!
We are only one step away from the middle stage of divine transformation!
What has changed even more is that his life level has actually gone from the 80th level of the ancient spirit to the 90th level of the ancient spirit...!
