Chapter 22: Evil God
Gu Shihan discovered that the situation in the village was different after the sound of the collision between the black iron stone and the bowl. People seemed to have woken up.
An old man and a young man walked towards her quickly.
Gu Shihan stepped forward, bowed, and said, "It's getting late, can I stay in the village for one night?"
"No! You'd better leave the village quickly!" The old man looked a little anxious.
"Uncle, why?" Gu Shihan asked.
"Alas! A few years ago, this stone statue suddenly appeared on the drying yard of our village, as if it had taken root.
Gradually, whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the villagers would feel the evil of the stone statue. After the statue came, some people in the village would disappear silently. The missing people were all women and children.
Later, we sensed something was wrong and had to send them far away, but for some reason, no matter how far we sent them, their final destination would always be the Stone Statue Square. Now… now we are the only ones left in the village.”
"Can't you get out either?" Gu Shihan asked.
"We can't get out? Even if we go out, we will return to the village. We...we want to die but can't..."
“Girl, I can see that you are a cultivator, maybe you can escape.” After the old man said this, he became dull again and walked away in a daze.
Xing Bai jumped down, walked around the statue for a few times and said, "Hanhan, there is a secret passage under the statue's feet. The missing people should have been taken away through the secret passage."
"Well, let's go and take a look!" said Gu Shihan.
"It's very dangerous! It might be done by an evil cultivator." Xing Bai said, pulling on the edge of Gu Shihan's skirt.
"Xingbai, there's no other way! That mission is right here. I need to be a cannon fodder and change my fate! Let's take a gamble!" There was more determination in Gu Shihan's eyes.
"Hanhan, don't worry, you still have me!" Xingbai pulled Gu Shihan to the feet of the stone statue, and gently pressed his little paw on the bulge on one side. The stone statue cracked in the middle, and a dark hole appeared.
A man and a fox walked into the cave. There was a dark stone staircase leading down to the cave.
Gu Shihan didn't dare to use the night pearl for illumination, in case he alarmed the owner of the stone statue. Fortunately, with the existence of spiritual consciousness, no matter how dark it was, it couldn't stop Gu Shihan from moving downwards.
"Xingbai, did you sense anything?" Gu Shihan asked with his mind.
"Nothing, nothing, it doesn't seem to be dangerous!"
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the stone stairs came to an end, and next was a long corridor.
I don’t know how long I walked, but I could faintly smell the smell of blood. Gu Shihan stopped and scanned the surroundings inch by inch with his spiritual sense.
"Hanhan, the bloody smell is coming from the end of the tunnel. Put on the breath-suppressing talisman and keep moving forward!"
The further we walked, the stronger the bloody smell became. "Hanhan, there is a big stone cave ahead with a blood pool in the middle. In the center of the pool is a black crystal coffin with strong forbidden runes on it. I guess someone wants to revive the person in the coffin."
"Then what should I do?" Gu Shihan was also shocked. There are really all kinds of fantastic things in this world of cultivating immortals.
"Ding Dong! Dungeon mission, kill the evil god magic card, change the life value +50, fail to change the life value -100, friendly reminder, you need to use the red lotus fire to kill the evil god!"
The mechanical voice sounded in Gu Shihan's mind again.
"Red Lotus Karma Fire? I don't have it?! What should I do? Xingbai, do you think there is Red Lotus Karma Fire in the Yuehua Bracelet? Will it be of any use if I try to cram at the last minute?"
Gu Shihan was stunned. This mission was good, it would change life value by 50 points! But it was a pity that he didn't have a diamond drill!
"Hanhan, don't worry, I'll look for it. There shouldn't be any missing item in the Strange Fire Moonlight Bracelet. I found it! But, Hanhan, the Red Lotus Karma Fire is not so easy to refine. Your luck is not that good. What if you are burned by the Red Lotus Karma Fire? What should I do?"
"Don't worry, that won't happen. Since I can come here, there must be a reason. It's not like 'God has given me talents for a purpose!' Xingbai, you have to have faith in your master. I am the master of the Yuehua bracelet!" Gu Shihan said with a firm look in his eyes.
"Well, Hanhan is still confident. I believe in you. Come on! Go back to the Yuehua bracelet and refine it. Eat a Bingxin Pill when you start refining. Prepare a few more. It's best to prepare more ice-attributed things, just in case." The little white fox chattered.
"Won't you accompany me into the space?" Gu Shihan asked.
"No, I need to check this area carefully. I can't help you refine the strange fire anyway, so it's better to learn more about the situation here. Once you refine the strange fire, you can kill the evil god immediately. I guess he will wake up soon."
Gu Shihan didn't say much. He flashed into the space, walked into the bamboo house, took the jade bottle containing the red lotus fire, some ice-attributed pills and cold jade marrow and went into the training room.
After taking the Bingxin Pill, Gu Shihan opened the jade bottle. A wisp of blood-red flame floated out and was about to rush out of the training room.
Gu Shihan separated ten strands of spiritual consciousness and wrapped them around the flame. Before he got close, he felt a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness.
"It hurts so much!" Gu Shihan knew that he couldn't give in. The spiritual creatures in the world were also extremely arrogant, and they would definitely look down on anyone who was afraid of them.
Gu Shihan became ruthless and wrapped his spiritual consciousness around it. You burn a piece and I take two pieces. The two sides have been fighting for almost an hour.
Gu Shihan was already numb from the pain, and was only supported by a strong will, his consciousness trapping the flame and not letting go.
Just when Gu Shihan could no longer hold on and was about to fall down, the flame finally entered her forehead.
The flames entered his body, causing severe pain in his meridians. His flesh and blood began to boil, and his clothes, hair, and everything else on his body turned to ashes.
Fortunately, when Gu Shihan planned to refine the Red Lotus Karma Fire, he took off all the storage magic weapons on his body, otherwise they would have been turned into ashes.
Gu Shihan felt pain all over her body, as if she was being burned by fire. She felt a heart-wrenching pain all over her body, which made her gasp for breath and she no longer had the strength to fight the burning pain in her body.
His consciousness began to blur. Xingbai seemed to sense that something was wrong with Gu Shihan. He entered the space and came to Gu Shihan's side.
It was extremely anxious, and pushed a few pieces of ice jade towards the flames with its little claws, shouting, "Hanhan, wake up! Practice against the will of heaven, fight for your life! Wake up!"
At this time, Gu Shihan's body had been burned by the red lotus fire, leaving only a skeleton. She couldn't even open her eyes.
Gu Shihan felt a little miserable. He felt the spiritual energy in his body begin to dissipate, and his vitality was fading quickly...
Gu Shihan felt a strong sense of unwillingness in his heart, "Cannon fodder? No! I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to be cannon fodder! I just want to live a good life, is it so difficult?
"Practicing against the will of heaven, fighting against the will of heaven? Since I can't survive even if I don't go against the will of heaven, why should we accept our fate?! Why should we accept our fate?!
No! I don't want to die, I don't want to be cannon fodder! I can do it! I can definitely make it through, I still have Xingbai!"
Gu Shihan's spirit became clearer. He used his skills to communicate with the Red Lotus Karma Fire, and said to himself, "Hello Heavenly Dao, since you have allowed me to come to this world, you are not qualified to control my life and death?! Red Lotus Karma Fire, since you can recognize a person as your master, why can't I?! I don't want to die, I won't watch you wipe me out step by step, I want to change my fate! Change my fate against the will of Heaven!"
"Hanhan, you will be fine! The owner of the Yuehua bracelet is definitely not a coward, I believe you!" The little white fox looked at the blazing fire, tears streaming down his face.
"Hanhan! Are you okay? Don't abandon Xingbai! If you die, Xingbai will fall asleep in the Yuehua bracelet again. You said you would take me to travel all over the world and eat all the delicious food in the world!
You are not such a coward, are you?! You are not going to let the Red Lotus Karma Fire take your life?! Red Lotus Karma Fire, since the previous owner took you in, how can you kill the owner of the Moonlight Bracelet?! "
"Cough cough!" A slight cough woke up the chattering little fox. It raised its head in surprise and saw that the woman in the firelight was slowly recovering.
"Hanhan!" The little white fox was about to rush over, but was forced back by the heat wave before it could get close.
"Little fool! The master is fine!" A small red ball jumped twice in the firelight.
"You? You are the Red Lotus Karma Fire? You are a living being?" Xingbai stuttered.
"Yes, yes! What are you?! You're white and not as pretty as me!" The red ball jumped twice again.
