Chapter 99: The Six Desires of Gods and Ghosts (6.1k) (Thanks to snapGene for the reward!)
Squeak…squeak…squeak…
A wisp of black gas came out from the smashed window.
It was so fast that it penetrated into Bai Xiao's body in an instant.
He stood there in a daze for a moment.
Looking down, I saw a black line gradually appearing on the back of my right hand, above the skull mark. The line was thin, like a long and narrow sword.
"What's the meaning?"
Bai Xiao frowned, just as his attention was drawn to thinking.
boom!!!
In an instant, a window of Building No. 2 behind him shattered.
A burly and strong figure fell down rapidly.
He held two knives in his hands and slashed at Bai Xiao's back!
Bang!
The burly figure flew backwards instantly.
The double swords in his hands were broken on the spot by the huge force and thrown away.
White Owl kept turning around to punch, looking over there quietly. The figure was a monster with a human body and a bird's head. Its overall appearance was somewhat similar to that of a terror bird, but there were no feathers on its skin. On its chest, black lines formed a symbol that looked like both the sun and an eye.
"My sudden appearance here must be related to the Skull Mark..."
He glanced at his clenched fists.
In the distance, where the bird-headed man flew backwards, a black gas flew over quickly and formed a sword pattern next to the skull mark.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Suddenly, the dark windows of the two surrounding buildings exploded.
Figures kept jumping out from it and falling down with a loud bang.
They were all burly bird-headed men, rushing towards White Owl with heavy steps. There were at least a dozen figures running towards him, approaching quickly.
Just when the bird-headed man came within one meter of the white owl.
Bang!
Bai Xiao stomped his foot on the ground and suddenly punched out.
He threw a punch, hitting the nearest bird-headed man.
Boom!
A black shadow flew backwards in an instant and fell heavily in the distance.
Swish!
The white owl disappeared on the spot.
The next second, he appeared in the dense crowd.
Boom! A huge heartbeat sounded.
Eyes as black as obsidian left traces in mid-air.
"die!"
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
Fists were thrown out continuously, as if they had turned into a black cloud with surging momentum. All the bird-headed people that were touched by the black cloud were smashed away. Some had their heads blown up, some had their hearts shattered, and some had their chests pierced. One by one, the bodies fell heavily to the ground.
Bang!
A huge iron-white hand stretched out into the sky like a python.
Five fingers covered the face of a bird-headed man.
Bai Xiao raised his arm and lifted it up easily.
The bird-headed man struggled frantically, waving his arms and legs.
A sharp and unpleasant scream came out of his mouth.
“So noisy…”
Bai Xiao frowned slightly, and his palm exerted tremendous force, with a click.
The bird-headed man's face was crushed and blood spurted out from between his fingers.
Snap!
A twisted corpse, unrecognizable, fell to the ground.
Bai Xiao shook his hands to shake off the sticky liquid on his arms.
He stood among the dense crowd of corpses.
Wisps of black air suddenly gathered together and formed a vortex.
Hisss…
A moment later, ten black sword patterns appeared on the back of Bai Xiao's hand.
"What on earth is this thing used for?"
He glanced at it in confusion, but suddenly saw it from the corner of his eye.
The bodies of the bird-headed people that he had killed were dissipating, turning into white ashes and slowly blending into the surrounding mist.
"Um?"
Bai Xiao discovered that a corpse had disappeared.
It seemed like something was left behind.
He walked over quickly and picked it up.
A piece of paper?
It's not ordinary paper, the material is very special.
The overall color is translucent and as thin as a silkworm's wing. It looks like a soft plastic mobile phone film, very tough and not easily damaged.
"The wordless book?"
Bai Xiao looked at it carefully, from the front and from the back.
There are no words at all.
He was just feeling a little disappointed when he suddenly felt a burning sensation on the back of his right hand.
Above the skull mark, the tenth black sword pattern began to dissipate.
And, the page in his hand actually began to reveal some content.
"Six Desires of Gods and Ghosts!"
"In the beginning, the most instinctive..."
"All the six desires in the heavens, ghosts and gods are destroyed..."
Bai Xiao widened his eyes and stood there in a daze.
For a moment, I didn't react.
He took another closer look and confirmed the words on the page.
"Gods and Ghosts... Six Desires... Secret?"
What an awesome name!
This thing, is it a martial arts technique? !
Bai Xiao stretched out his hand and pressed his temple, and was a little confused. He had just come into contact with the martial arts circle, and the martial arts he practiced were all simple and easy-to-understand names such as Giant Stone Kung Fu and Red Elephant Kung Fu.
Now suddenly a God and Ghost Six Desires Art pops up...
The impact was really too great.
"Is this really a technique? Let's take a look..."
Bai Xiao was still a little skeptical and a little unconvinced.
He directly consumed all the black sword patterns, allowing the contents on the paper to slowly appear. However, ten black patterns were far from enough, and only one tenth of the contents on the paper could be displayed, Bai Xiao discovered after reading it carefully.
This really seems to be the beginning of a martial arts technique.
One tenth of the content displayed is the general outline of the practice.
"this……"
Bai Xiao took a deep breath and looked forward.
Is this a game of killing monsters?
These bird-headed people can not only release black energy, but also release martial arts techniques?
"But this one is far from enough."
Bai Xiao held the only page of the martial arts book with some regret.
Buzz buzz buzz...
At the same time, outside Sunshine Community.
The thick white fog that looked like a wall suddenly dissipated, as if a barrier had disappeared at that moment.
Boom boom boom!
Heavy footsteps gradually came from outside.
In the hazy fog.
A black figure almost as tall as two stories came towards them, seemingly holding a huge, ferocious weapon in his hand.
In the Sunshine Community.
Bai Xiao faintly heard the thudding sounds outside.
He was about to turn around to check when he felt dizzy.
Swish!
The figure of the white owl blurred in an instant, fading away bit by bit.
During this process, the white mist in the sky was suddenly pushed away by a huge monster, and rolled rapidly to the left and right.
The wind was howling and the sky was dark.
A huge, completely black eye was floating quietly, like a black sun, looking down at the earth majestically.
Phew! ! !
A bird's cry pierced through the space and dispersed all the fog.
…
"call!"
In the bedroom, on the bed, Bai Xiao suddenly woke up.
He turned his head and looked around, scanning the environment with his sharp eyes.
Only after confirming that it was the bedroom did Bai Xiao relax.
He turned on the light, climbed out of bed, walked to the window and opened the curtain. Looking down through the window, he saw cars parked in the parking spaces, including the mini car he had thrown out. Most of the lights in the second residential building opposite were off, but some windows were still lit.
I guess it’s some night owls who are still staying up late.
"So, was I just... dreaming?"
Bai Xiao glanced at the skull mark on the back of his right hand.
Then he remembered something and reached into his pajama pocket.
His fingers stiffened and he slowly took it out.
In his hand, there was a translucent page of book as thin as a cicada's wing.
The words "Six Desires of Gods and Ghosts" are also written on the surface of the book.
“I really brought it back…”
"Then everything that just happened was not a dream!"
Bai Xiao's eyes flickered, and after a long pause, he sat back on the bed.
He leaned against the head of the bed, took out his cell phone and took a look.
It was less than one in the morning.
Bai Xiao hesitated for a moment, and finally clicked on Fetion.
Find the chat interface of Senior Brother Wu Binghe and send him a message.
White Owl: "I had a nightmare."
After waiting for a while, there was no reply.
So Bai Xiao got up and went to the bathroom to take a quick cold shower.
When I came out, I received news from the eldest senior brother.
Wu Binghe: "How was it? How did it feel to be hunted by those people who had scared you before? Did you run everywhere by them, hiding in a building to escape? Haha, yellow bean smiley face.jpg"
Bai Xiao: “…”
Bai Xiao was silent for a while. It turned out that the eldest senior brother knew some secrets.
But, it seems that what he said is somewhat different from what he experienced.
Wu Binghe: "It's okay, it's just a normal situation. The first time I was brought to a horrible nightmare by the Skull Mark, it was the same. I hid here and there, it's not shameful. As long as I can survive, I'm already amazing."
Bai Xiao: "Why are you hiding here and there?"
Wu Binghe: “?”
Wu Binghe: "When your consciousness is dragged into a terrifying nightmare, your strength depends on your will. The higher the willpower, the stronger the power. And willpower is the most difficult thing for a person to improve, and sometimes it fluctuates greatly. Your willpower... is very strong?"
Bai Xiao immediately understood why the opponents in the nightmare were so weak. On the contrary, it was not that they were weak, but that Bai Xiao was too strong.
The personal panel fixes his four-dimensional attributes, once and for all.
There is absolutely no regression or weakening.
Therefore, in the nightmare of fear, White Owl has all the strength.
All kinds of so-called opponents, whoever comes will die.
Bai Xiao looked at the message sent by the senior brother in the chat interface.
Replied: "Probably, it should be pretty strong."
He was vague and evasive.
Then, Bai Xiao directly asked the questions he wanted to know.
Bai Xiao: "Big Brother, you also have the Skull Mark?"
Wu Binghe: "Yes, when you visualize the twelfth boxing move, there will be a skull mark. However, I prefer to call it the mark of fear..."
Bai Xiao understood after hearing this that the eldest brother might have hidden a part of the boxing manual when he was visualizing it. His talent was stronger than he thought.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Xiao continued to ask.
"What exactly is a nightmare?"
Wu Binghe: "A very special deep world."
White Owl: "The deep world?"
Perhaps because typing was too slow, Wu Binghe called directly.
A deep male voice sounded.
"The so-called deep world is a dimension that is different from the frequency of the real world, but it is inextricably linked to the real world..."
"I won't go into detail about the things in the deep world. Anyway, Uncle Chen will tell you after you become his disciple. Moreover, the next level for a Limit Breaker is a Fighter. If you want to become a Fighter, you must master the combat mode. Once you have mastered the combat mode, you can enter the deep world..."
"Back to the point, the nightmare of fear is a very special deep world. The reason why it is special is that it is fragmented and broken into pieces. Densely packed nightmare worlds surround the Devil Bird. And cluster worlds with similar Devil Birds as the core revolve around the Mother of Fear, forming a cluster of nightmares of fear..."
Bai Xiao heard the familiar words and asked quickly.
"Demon bird? Mother of fear?"
The voice on the other end of the phone came again.
"Yes, this is the information I found from an ancient book after I consulted the various techniques of the Fierce Bird School. Both of them are special individuals in the deep world, powerful existences, with only vague names. As for the specific situation, I am also constantly investigating..."
Bai Xiao said after thinking for a moment.
"So, Senior Brother, you study morbid fear and freezing response."
"Is that why?"
Wu Binghe responded: "Yes."
Bai Xiao immediately understood why Wu Binghe was paying attention to him and seemed to be friendly to him. Because they were both the owners of the Skull Mark, they would be dragged into the nightmare of fear. With the same experience and encounter, Wu Binghe would naturally pay more attention to Bai Xiao.
Next, Bai Xiao got more information from the senior brother.
first.
The owner of the Skull Mark will be dragged into a nightmare of fear every once in a while. When you absorb the fear of others, this time will be shortened. If it is a large amount of fear, you may enter it tonight.
Secondly.
The effect of the fear aura cannot enhance strength, it can only be used to break through bottlenecks. Just like the battle between Bai Xiao and Bai Xiao at the Bai Niao training base, during the fight, he absorbed the fear aura and broke through the demon-swallowing state.
at last.
Fear nightmares have different difficulty levels, Wu Binghe simply divides them into low, medium, high, and difficult. If you are killed in a fear nightmare, your consciousness will be infected by fear. The more times you die, the larger the infected area will be, until the whole person is completely swallowed by fear.
Of course, there are benefits to fearing nightmares.
That is the black sword pattern obtained by killing the enemy.
You can think of a black sword pattern as a dollar, which is the hard currency in the nightmare. Sometimes, you will find some sealed strange objects in a nightmare, which need to be unsealed with money. Sometimes, you will also meet some mysterious and strange guys who can communicate with you, just like businessmen. You can use the black sword pattern to buy things.
The above are all the experiences that Senior Brother Wu Binghe has gained in recent years.
He told Bai Xiao everything in one go.
It seems that he wants Bai Xiao, the new reporter, to be prepared.
With a beep, the phone was hung up.
Bai Xiao sat at the head of the bed, quietly digesting a large amount of information.
And on the other side.
The light from the screen illuminated half of Wu Binghe's deep facial contours.
He looked at the phone dimly and remained silent for a long time.
After a moment, he spoke to himself.
"Alas, it's too late..."
…
Dingyuan Building.
It was late at night, and the sky above seemed to be covered with a black curtain. The moonlight shone down at night, covering everything hazily.
Ta-ta-ta…
On the stairs on the 27th floor.
A muffled sound of footsteps echoed in the empty space.
“The wall is cracked.”
“The stairs are cracked.”
"Fire series armor, activate self-destruct mode."
A hoarse voice sounded, observing the surrounding environment and making a judgment.
All the way to the 27th floor.
“The tiles in the load-bearing columns are cracked.”
"The captain of the Blazing Team didn't even have time to activate the self-destruct..."
Next to the broken window on the twenty-seventh floor.
"Last team member in self-destruct mode."
"It was forced out of the window and exploded in the air."
Under the moonlight, you can see the gap in the building.
There was a tall, thin man dressed in black.
A large windbreaker covered his entire body. Hard leather boots stepped on broken glass. Leather gloves covered his skin. A wide-brimmed black hat was pulled down slightly to cover his face. An inexplicable cold breath spread quietly.
He glanced down.
He took a step forward and actually jumped down.
The dancing hem of the black windbreaker was like a dark cloud.
despair!
The man in black landed his feet gently on the ground without making any loud noise.
"Captain, what's the situation?"
A short-haired young man with a ruffian look immediately came forward.
The man in black said slowly: "Two masters."
"One who is good at disguise and has strange means."
"The other one was very tough and fierce. He fought his way in from the main gate and broke through the 27th floor. He killed a suit of biological armor at the staircase, and then defeated the captain of the Fiery Squad. In the end, he was not even afraid of the self-destruct mode..."
"His fighting style is brutal and bloody. He is a ruthless man."
The short-haired young man nodded thoughtfully.
Suddenly, a sound was heard in the night.
"Although, Liehuo is just an ordinary team..."
"But two people can wipe them out."
"I really want to meet these two people~"
In the distance, the crisp sound of high heels could be heard.
A beautiful woman in a noble and charming purple dress came over. She had a voluptuous beauty, like ripe fruits in summer. She exuded a long-lasting and mellow perfume, with a hint of lady's cigarettes. She had a lollipop in her mouth.
He doesn't even eat the lollipop properly, he has to lick it with his tongue.
It's like a snake spitting out its tongue, scarlet, smooth, moist and tempting.
"I want to kill someone, Liao Yuan."
She smiled gently, with an inexplicable sense of danger.
"Wait a little longer, Kuang Ling."
"Wait for the company to issue orders and tasks."
The man in black turned around slowly, with a hazy moon above his head.
"Everything should be done formally."
…
The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.
Bai Xiao was wearing the most appropriate black clothes and black pants, standing at the entrance of Sunshine Community. He also put on the sunglasses given by Dong Ge to block his vision.
Soon, a black car drove over from the side of the road.
The car window opened, and it was Chen Liao who was sitting in the driver's seat.
He was actually wearing a pair of sunglasses and his hair was neatly combed.
The little old man looks quite energetic.
"Get in the car."
Chen Liao shouted.
Bai Xiao immediately opened the car door and got in.
As soon as I sat down, two plastic bags were thrown at me.
A bag of hot buns and a bag of soy milk.
Bai Xiao had actually already had breakfast.
But he still said, "Thank you, Master."
In the driver's seat, Chen Liao smiled but said nothing.
I just pressed the car speaker and played a little tune.
Sitting in his seat, Bai Xiao was eating steamed buns and drinking soy milk, observing Chen Liao through the rearview mirror. He found that Chen Liao seemed to be much more energetic than before, and he looked younger, including mentally.
Gradually, the car drove out of the city.
Bai Xiao opened the back seat window and looked outside the car.
Blue sky and white clouds, shadowy mountain shadows, and a gentle breeze.
There really is a feeling that time is peaceful and tranquil.
Ten minutes later.
The headquarters of the Xiongniao clan is a complex of buildings located at the foot of the mountain.
A mixture of ancient and modern, very quiet.
The black car drove in smoothly and slowly pulled over to the side.
…
A wooden dojo, an antique building, and a spacious hall.
The initiation ceremony began.
The whole process is not that complicated, it can even be said to be very simple.
The sect leader lit three thin incense sticks amidst the ever-lasting incense burning at the ominous bird statue in the hall, and then passed them to Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao stepped forward again, lit the incense, bowed, and that was it.
At this moment, Bai Xiao stood in the hall, looking up at the tall and lifelike statue in front of him. It was five meters tall, full of vigor and majestic. The big bird stretched out its claws and grabbed at a certain place.
In front of the statue, there was a strong figure holding three thin incense sticks in his hand. He lit them with the incense that never went out, and then turned around and walked towards him.
"Master."
Bai Xiao said respectfully.
This person is none other than Yan Qi, the leader of the Xiongniao Clan.
His hair and beard were all white, but he had a sturdy figure, like a tall iron tower.
"Um."
Yan Qi looked at Bai Xiao and nodded with satisfaction.
This is a good seedling for the future and needs to be cultivated well.
Yan Qi handed over three incense sticks, and Bai Xiao reached out to take them.
Then, he stepped forward.
Insert the thin incense sticks into the thick incense ash.
He stepped back and bowed deeply.
"Congratulations. From now on, I should call you Junior Brother."
Wu Binghe, who was watching the initiation ceremony nearby, walked over and said.
Bai Xiao was about to say something when Chen Liao walked over Wu Binghe and said, "Bai Xiao, let's go. The apprenticeship ceremony is ready."
"So anxious?"
Yan Qi laughed faintly and teased.
"You have so many disciples, of course you are not in a hurry."
"This is my first apprentice..."
"I haven't been a master yet!"
As Chen Liao spoke, he brought Bai Xiao to the side.
This is a small hall that can be used to receive guests.
Bai Xiao followed the process of becoming an apprentice.
Make tea, serve tea, and stand respectfully aside.
Sitting on the armchair, Chen Liao took a sip of boiling hot tea.
A satisfied smile finally appeared on his face.
"With this cup of tea, you are my apprentice from now on."
Chen Liao stood up and looked at Bai Xiao.
"Good disciple, come here, this is the gift from your master."
He spread out his right hand and threw something to Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao caught it immediately and took a closer look. It turned out to be a bronze key.
"From today on, you can freely enter and exit the main storehouse of the Fierce Bird Stream, and you can also freely take medicine for yourself. Of course, it is only for your use. How about this gift from your master? Do you like it?"
Chen Liao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
A look of joy suddenly flashed across Bai Xiao's face. This was really good.
He originally liked to practice hard skills, and most of the more powerful hard skills require medicinal baths, which consume a lot of money. Bai Xiao was still thinking about how to get medicinal materials if he wanted to practice hard skills in the future. But now he doesn't have to think about it, Chen Liao directly gave him the authority of the general warehouse.
It just so happens that I now have eleven potential points that have not been used.
I'll go get some herbs later and continue to improve my skills!
"Thank you, Master!"
He expressed his sincere gratitude to Chen Liao.
The combat specialist's professional skills in the previous chapter have been modified to include escort, combat, and protection.
