Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 512: Burning Paper Money on the Old Ship
The moment Gu Xiaoxing fell into the big ship, all the traction disappeared, but immediately afterwards, waves of severe pain attacked his whole body.
Gu Xiaoxing was shocked and saw countless burning . After turning into ashes and floating down, some of the remaining ashes fell on Gu Xiaoxing.
And pain arises from this!
Those ashes seemed to contain infinite high temperature. The moment they fell on Gu Xiaoxing, they instantly melted his clothes and burned his skin!
You know, with Gu Xiaoxing's current physical body, even if he just stood there motionless, a full-strength attack from an early stage Spirit Transformation cultivator might not be able to hurt him!
In front of these ashes, Gu Xiaoxing's body was like a clay doll, with a hole left at the slightest touch.
Gu Xiaoxing tried to activate the ancient spirit force field and even the Nine Seas Art to resist, but it was completely useless. The ashes were not affected at all and still fell on him.
In just a few moments, dozens of burns appeared on Gu Xiaoxing's body.
If he continues to stay on this ship, it won't be long before he will turn into ashes along with these ashes.
Gu Xiaoxing suppressed the nine-tailed fox to prevent him from going crazy, and at the same time protected him to prevent him from being burned by the ashes.
Even Gu Xiaoxing cannot resist these ashes. The small Jindan demon beast will probably be burned to death in an instant.
Gu Xiaoxing slowly raised his head and was about to try to see if he could leave, but before he raised his head, the hunchbacked woman had appeared in front of him without him noticing.
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxing felt a chill in his heart. Is this the end? !
However, the hunchbacked woman did not attack Gu Xiaoxing. She just stood in front of him, less than a foot away, and kept looking at him.
At this moment, when they were so close to each other, Gu Xiaoxing realized that this hunchbacked girl was actually very tall.
If the other person stood up straight, he would probably be about ten feet tall. Even though he was hunched over at the moment, he was still taller than Gu Xiaoxing.
Gu Xiaoxing was also looking at the hunchbacked girl, but his eyes were a little evasive, and the more he looked, the more frightened he felt.
Although the hunchbacked woman was tall, she was very thin. Her hands holding the paper money looked withered. Her skin was gray-brown, and she was dressed in white. Her long hair was draped in front of her, covering her face.
But between the covers and the shaking of the hair, Gu Xiaoxing still vaguely saw that the other party seemed to... have no pupils!
There was a void in those eyes!
Moreover, the other person's mouth seemed to be sewn shut by something and could not open!
This little detail gave Gu Xiaoxing goosebumps all over his body.
But he did not feel any powerful aura from the other party, just an inexplicable fear, that creepy feeling, which emanated from the inside out, from the bottom of his heart.
Standing in front of such a being, Gu Xiaoxing couldn't even muster the thought of resisting. He could only stand there stupidly, allowing the other party to look at him, not even daring to speak.
After a while, I don't know what the hunchback girl saw from Gu Xiaoxing. She nodded slightly, then reached out, took out a small stack of paper money from her other hand, and handed it to Gu Xiaoxing.
Gu Xiaoxing was almost crying. Looking at the stack of crumpled paper money in front of him, he really didn't want to take it.
But when he looked up at the pair of endless empty eyes behind the hunchbacked woman's hair, it seemed as if he would be swallowed up if he didn't obey.
In the end, Gu Xiaoxing had no choice but to compromise, reaching out his trembling hand and taking the paper money.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing's body was already riddled with holes due to the burning of countless ashes.
But the moment he took the paper money, Gu Xiaoxing suddenly discovered that when the ashes fell on him again, they were actually just residual ashes. They no longer had any temperature and could not hurt him at all!
this……?
Gu Xiaoxing widened his eyes, quickly retracted his hand, and held the paper money tightly . Even if he was asked to return it now, he would not do it!
The hunchbacked woman didn't care about Gu Xiaoxing's little action, but waved again, then turned and walked towards the other side of the bow.
Gu Xiaoxing hesitated for a moment, but finally followed, tightly grasping the paper money in one hand and lifting the nine-tailed fox into his arms and robe with the other.
At this time, the nine-tailed fox had fallen into a deep sleep again. Gu Xiaoxing was itching to watch. Couldn't he just stay in the illusion?
He had to come out and make a fuss, and now after cheating others he goes back to sleep. How abominable!
Gu Xiaoxing has secretly decided that if this stinky fox is not his father-in-law, he will stew him when he gets out!
in the case of……!
"We can't just let it go like this!"
"What's wrong with my father-in-law? I'm still his elder brother!"
Gu Xiaoxing felt confident in his heart as he followed the hunchbacked girl slowly forward.
The boat was not small, being at least a hundred feet long, but its structure was very simple, with only one layer of decking, which was high at both ends and concave in the middle.
And the central groove is where the paper money tree stands.
The hull looked very old, and was full of traces of corrosion from time immemorial, as if it had existed since time immemorial.
Soon, under the guidance of the hunchbacked girl, Gu Xiaoxing came to the center of the ship and came under the paper money tree.
Gu Xiaoxing turned his head slightly and looked at the paper money tree passing by. There were more ashes falling here.
But once the ashes fall onto the deck, they will disappear immediately and will not accumulate.
Gu Xiaoxing looked carefully. The whole tree was hundreds of feet high and straight up. It was more like the tree had taken root in the boat and become one with it than standing in the middle of the boat.
If the countless burning paper money on the tree were really regarded as leaves, it could be said to be lush and leafy.
However, when the countless paper money rustled in the wind, Gu Xiaoxing still felt uneasy.
Coupled with the countless ashes falling, it was a completely desolate scene. How could there be any sign of life?
When Gu Xiaoxing secretly activated his dark eyes, he was so frightened that the hair on his body stood up.
Whether from the paper money tree or from the hunchbacked girl, Gu Xiaoxing did not see the slightest thought of life!
Moreover, there is no meditation!
There was only a grayness in his eyes, as if nothing existed.
So, is the hunchbacked woman who is leading the way in front a human or a ghost?
Gu Xiaoxing didn't know that he was already numb, and at this point, he could only leave it to fate.
"I'm so well behaved, and she doesn't seem to have any hostility. She shouldn't... shouldn't do anything to me, right!?"
In the end, Gu Xiaoxing could only comfort himself.
After passing the money tree, the two men came to the other bow of the boat.
Here, Gu Xiaoxing saw another small brazier with the residual warmth of ashes in it, as if it had been burning before.
Next to the brazier, there was a pile of unburned paper money.
And in front of the brazier, there is a...paper doll!
The paper doll looked like a girl with her eyes closed. She looked heartbroken and seemed to be crying.
Seeing all of this, Gu Xiaoxing felt even colder in his heart. He really wanted to escape, but his intuition told him that he could not escape!
Now that Gu Xiaoxing's cultivation is getting higher and higher, his understanding of the art of controlling life will naturally become deeper and deeper, and his sense of that mysterious feeling will also become stronger and stronger.
He always felt that if he dared to run away now, he would probably be caught and eaten by the hunchback woman in front of him!
"What the hell is this!"
"It's just bad luck. All kinds of weird things can happen to you!"
Gu Xiaoxing felt extremely bitter and was "forced" to the brazier by the hunchbacked woman.
Then the hunchbacked woman slowly squatted down and put the paper money in her hand into the brazier one by one. There was no need for any fire. The paper money would burn by itself when it fell into the brazier.
When the paper money in her hand was burned out, the hunchbacked girl stopped and looked up at Gu Xiaoxing.
Gu Xiaoxing was really about to cry this time. He certainly understood what the hunchback girl meant when she looked at him.
But this person is unfamiliar to him, and it always feels creepy to ask him to burn paper money for a stranger.
Moreover, if it was just a simple burning of paper money, it would be fine, but this is clearly not simple!
Gu Xiaoxing was no longer a novice in cultivation. He knew very well that burning this piece of paper money would inevitably involve some serious cause and effect.
Whether it will be a blessing or a curse at that time, only God knows!
But facing the empty eyes under the hunchbacked girl's black hair, Gu Xiaoxing did not dare to refute.
While hesitating, he suddenly saw the hunchbacked woman open her lips slightly, as if she was going to tear open the stitches and swallow them in one gulp!
This frightened Gu Xiaoxing so much that his internal organs started beating wildly at the same time, and he quickly said, "I'll burn it, I'll burn it, don't eat me!"
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing really cried, leaving two lines of desperate tears, and then threw the small stack of paper money in his hand into the brazier one by one.
"Senior, my name is Hao Youde, and I am here to see you off. Have a pleasant journey!"
"I have a distant grandson named Siming. If you feel bored, go find him. Don't come find me!"
Gu Xiaoxing wiped the tears from her face, looking quite mournful.
As a piece of paper money thrown by Gu Xiaoxing into the fire basin burned completely, suddenly, a strange power grew from Gu Xiaoxing's body, as if something came out of nothing, without roots.
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment, but before he could sense it carefully, the strange power instantly merged with his body and disappeared.
The next moment, the wounds on Gu Xiaoxing's body that had been burned by the ashes were gradually recovered due to the integration of this strange power!
As the second, third, and even fifth pieces of paper money burned out, the burns on Gu Xiaoxing's body had recovered by a small amount.
Until the end, all thirteen pieces of paper money in Gu Xiaoxing's hand were burned in the brazier, and the burn wounds on his body had completely healed!
Gu Xiaoxing stopped crying immediately, and there was more surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that burning paper money could have such an effect!
However, Gu Xiaoxing could not find the thirteen strange powers that had merged into himself even after searching his entire body, nor did he notice any strange changes in himself.
Only with the integration of those strange powers did his cultivation level inexplicably improve.
Although it is still in the early stage of transformation, it has reached the middle stage!
Considering Gu Xiaoxing's background, this is already an extremely terrifying improvement. If it were given to another person in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, perhaps it could help him to advance to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
"Thank you, little brother!"
Suddenly, a childish voice appeared in Gu Xiaoxing's mind.
He suddenly looked up and saw that the paper doll girl in front of the brazier had unexpectedly changed from a crying face to a smiling face.
