Junior Disciple C

Chapter 106

"How long have we been away?" Fang Yang rubbed his stomach and asked Cao Zirui beside him.

"Hmm..." Cao Zirui thought for a while, but couldn't figure out why.

The skeleton that eats human legs is not difficult to deal with. The two of them worked together, and after a little effort, they broke up the skeleton.

After tidying up this harmful evil thing, the two continued to move forward.Along the way, I ran into another person who ate human hands. I didn't know whose hand it was. The two of them didn't look at it carefully.

The two are once familiar with each other, and the speed of resolution is faster this time.

And then, there is the long and endless darkness.

I don't know how big the Western Qiang Imperial City is, how long this corridor is, and how long they walked. They didn't find any exit along the way.

That's all, the two slowly realized that there seemed to be a restriction to confine the aura here, and the aura in their bodies could no longer be used.

What followed was the hunger that shouldn't have been felt again after the establishment of the foundation and bigu.

Although Fang Yang was clutching his stomach, there was still an unstoppable grunt coming from his stomach.

There was a little embarrassment on his face, Senior Brother Waste Chai and the others still didn't know whether he was alive or dead, yet he was so hungry that he had only eaten rabbit legs at noon.

The sound was very clear in the dark and quiet corridor, Cao Zirui naturally heard it, and before he could speak, there was another stomach grunt.

Fang Yang reflexively squeezed his stomach a little tighter, but he soon realized that it didn't seem to be him who was screaming this time.

There are only two people here, if it's not him, then it's... Fang Yang looked at Cao Zirui.

Cao Zirui lowered his head, but Fang Yang still saw the red color on Cao Zirui's face that had spread to his ears.

Fang Yang's embarrassment disappeared instantly. It turned out that Cao Zirui was also hungry, but just like himself, he was always embarrassed to say so.

Seeing Cao Zirui looking like he wanted to lower his head to the ground, Fang Yang couldn't help but let out a low laugh.

Laughter echoed in the long and narrow corridor, and Cao Zirui raised his head anxiously. He has been a son of a family since he was a child, and he has no shortage of gold and silver. Melon and fruit snacks are always available at home. He hardly ever feels hungry, let alone let his stomach growl. Such a disrespectful thing.

But this is beyond his control. It is not up to reason to decide whether the stomach growls or not, it is completely the instinct of the body.

He realized that his stomach growled was already embarrassing enough, but Fang Yang even laughed.

Cao Zirui was a little bit annoyed, and when he really raised his head, he realized that Fang Yang was not mocking, there was no sarcasm in his smile, he just simply thought Cao Zirui's shy look was funny.

Cao Zirui's anger was completely vented, he looked helplessly at Fang Yang who kept laughing, and finally, he laughed as if he was infected.

After laughing, it's time to move on.

Just hit the road and go back to the road, but I'm still hungry.

Fang Yang began to sigh again: "It would be nice if I brought more food before leaving."

However, no one would have guessed that the first problem they encountered was actually being hungry.

Although Fang Yang's family background is not as good as Cao Zirui's, the village he lives in is considered affluent, and he can't eat any delicacies from mountains and seas, so he doesn't have to worry about rice.

Usually, no matter how wild he was playing outside, he would go home to eat immediately when he was hungry. He had never felt so hungry.

Just when the two of them were joking, he felt his hunger was getting worse, which was tolerable before, but now, his stomach was already burning with pain, and the excessive acid was hurting his intestines.

Cao Zirui felt similar to Fang Yang, this kind of hunger speed was actually very strange, although I don't know how long the two of them have been here, but they shouldn't be hungry so fast.

But even though he noticed something was wrong, he couldn't solve it.

He thought about it, and groped in his storage bag. He didn't usually have the habit of bringing food, because he didn't need to eat at all after fasting, so naturally he didn't need to waste space to store food.

But food is not necessarily the only thing that can be eaten, medicine pills can also be used.

Cao Zirui brought out a bottle of medicinal pills for Peiyuan and Guben. This is his medicine for internal injuries. Those who are not injured can also be replenished after taking it. He poured one for Fang Yang, and another for himself. : "To invigorate the qi, eat some padding."

Although Cao Zirui didn't say the value of the elixir, Fang Yang had the experience of going back to the secret place of the floating island, and knew that the elixir that Cao Zirui took out might be very expensive.

But he squeezed the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

Because he was so hungry, his acid-burned stomach urgently needed something to fill him up, anything was fine, as long as it could relieve the hunger.

No matter how expensive the elixir is, just think of a way afterward.Fang Yang didn't even chew, and he swallowed the round pill.

The cooling properties of the medicine permeated the stomach, and the tormenting pain was relieved a lot.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he seemed to counterattack, but his hunger became more and more raging.

not enough...

One pill is not enough...

Fang Yang clutched his stomach and pursed his lips tightly.He glanced at Cao Zirui, and saw the same painful expression as his own.

Cao Zirui took out another porcelain bottle, poured one each.

However, after taking the elixir this time, the soothing feeling is not as obvious as last time, they need more food...

After a while, the whole bottle of pill was eaten up by the two of them.

The momentary cooling sensation after taking the elixir is addictive, in stark contrast to the pain of being tortured by hunger.

People have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Now that they know how to alleviate their pain, they can't help but continue to do it.

Cao Zirui took out two more bottles of elixirs, and the two of them didn't care whether the properties of the medicines conflicted, each picked up a bottle and poured it into their mouths.

However, even after swallowing the whole bottle of pills in one breath, the haunting hunger still hit immediately.

The two ate more and more, and four or five porcelain bottles were already thrown under their feet.

Finally, the pills could no longer relieve their pain one iota.

The elixir is only the size of a bullet, and after eating a few bottles, it is only the amount to fit between the teeth.

Fang Yang had heard before that in places where there was a famine, people had nothing to eat, so they had to eat grass roots and bark.

He didn't understand before, what's so delicious about this kind of food, he couldn't eat it no matter how hungry he was.

However, when he was really hungry to a certain extent, he realized that, let alone grass roots and tree bark, as long as it was edible, even raw meat dripping with blood, he wanted to grab it and stuff it into his mouth...

Fang Yang was taken aback by his sudden thought, he actually thought of the two skeletons that ate human legs and arms just now.

Looking at this scene before, he only felt weird and disgusting, but now thinking about it... he even swallowed unconsciously at the fresh flesh and blood.

Fang Yang shook his head violently, no, no, reason is warning him, what is the difference between eating human flesh and ghosts here?

He forced himself not to think about these things, to pay attention to the burning sensation in his stomach, and to focus on finding his way out.

However, the image of cannibalism always flashed in Fang Yang's mind when his vigilance was lax.

The more he thought about it, the more greedy he became, and the secretion of more and more saliva. Although the skeleton bit the human flesh, it didn't digest it in the stomach, and the pieces of meat fell to the ground.

To go back... a bit too far, they seem to have traveled a long, long time.

Fang Yang doesn't know how long it will be, but Fang Yang feels that he is so hungry that he can't last the time to return the same way.

But... Although he can't look back, there is actually a very fresh one beside him.

In the quiet corridor, the hearing became very clear. Fang Yang heard Cao Zirui's breathing and the sound of his pulse beating. He seemed to see the dilated blood vessels in the young man's body and the blood flowing in the blood vessels.

So delicious, so tempting...

By coincidence, Fang Yang secretly took a look at Cao Zirui.

Turning his head, he met Cao Zirui's eyes who were also looking at him.

The greed and hunger in the two pairs of eyes were exactly the same, and both of them were taken aback.

At this moment, reason returned to the two of them.

They turned their heads away quickly, not daring to look at each other again.

Fang Yang stretched out his hand and slapped himself hard, what was he thinking!

Cao Zirui coughed uncomfortably, he was afraid of what he had just thought.

This fear caused the two of them to raise their spirits by 12 points, and tried their best to control this unbearable hunger.

The reason why people are human is to know what can and why can't.Cannibalism, even if it is for survival, is an act that cannot be recognized by secular ethics.

The two continued to walk without saying a word, their nerves were tense, for fear of being eroded by that terrible thought again.

However, if they are too rigid, they are easy to break. Such a highly tense mental state makes them hungry and tired, and they almost only rely on the breath in their hearts to support them.

Suddenly there was another sound ahead.

It was the same skeleton frame as the two skeletons they met before. This skeleton was holding an arm and a leg, and when it was about to feast, it noticed the arrival of Fang Yang and Cao Zirui.

The two stared at the hollow eye sockets of the skeleton, gripped the hilt of their swords, and prepared to fight.

However, unexpectedly, the skeletons did not attack them this time.

The skeleton tilted its head and looked at them for a moment, then even held up the human hand and human leg in his hand, and handed them forward, as if to entertain them.

entertain them...?

What a joke!How could they eat human flesh!

The tense nerves rebounded at the first moment, however, the delicious smell of flesh and blood was rolling and lingering at the tip of the nose...

It's wrong to think about eating a living person, but what if it's already dead...?

Since he's dead, shouldn't he be considered a human?

There was a small breach in reason, and then, it collapsed thousands of miles away.

The two of them did not know when they had already walked up to the skeleton, and one of them took over a stump. Blood dripped from the limb, and the smell of blood was spreading.

Delicious and tempting, just what this aching stomach needs...a good medicine for the pain.

Just when Fang Yang was about to lower his head and bite it, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his chest.

The stinging pain was far more intense than that hunger, like a flame burning in his chest.

He regained some clarity in an instant, he looked down at his hands, and only then realized what he was about to do just now.

Dense cold sweat broke out on his back, and he realized that this was a trap.

Very cunning trap.

In general, eating the flesh of a living person is just as unacceptable as eating the flesh of a dead person.

But relatively speaking, the former is more serious.

When faced with two very serious things, people tend to choose the lesser one, and unknowingly ignore the fact that both things are equally serious.

Their nerves have already been stretched to the extreme due to the idea of ​​cannibalism, and their bodies and spirits have reached their limits. This state must not last long, and they urgently need a chance to relax.

This opportunity came just like that.

After all, eating the flesh of the dead seemed much more acceptable than eating the living.

This knowledge made them relax, and their rational defense was completely defeated.

However, after Fang Yang regained his consciousness, he clearly realized that eating the living or the dead is an insurmountable red line.

Once you cross the line, there is really no turning back...

He suddenly dropped the stump in his hand, then grabbed the one in Cao Zirui's hand, and threw it directly at the skeleton frame in front of him.

The smashed skeleton was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

"Let's go!" Fang Yang pulled Cao Zirui, turned around and ran away.

He didn't know where he could run, but he knew he couldn't stay here anymore.

He is sober at this moment, but he doesn't know how long this sobriety can last.

If this continues, he will become a man-eating evil ghost. Even though his appearance is the same as that of ordinary people, he can no longer be called a human being.

The corridor was dark and long, and when the illuminated pearl met the skeleton frame, he was thrown to the ground by the delirious man.

Now he is dragging Cao Zirui to run in the dark, not knowing the way forward.

However, in the darkness, he once again saw some light.

Very faint, but not negligible.

From his chest, where the tingling had just started.

That's... Fang Yang took out the bamboo piece hanging from his chest, this is the one he picked up, it can talk to the mysterious big brother... no, it's Ying Long, the bamboo piece that can talk to Ying Long.

Although Yinglong's feelings are complicated, and he doesn't know whether this god is right or wrong, Fang Yang has never thrown away the bamboo piece. If Yinglong can speak again, he wants to ask him the truth about a hundred years ago.

But after the battle of Ling Xiao Jianzong, Ying Long never spoke again.

Fang Yang thought that the other party completely ignored him. After all, he was just a mortal with mediocre aptitude. Ying Long used bamboo chips to talk to him before, maybe it was just to use his status as a disciple of the Lingxiao Sword Sect to do certain things.

It's no wonder Fang Yang thinks this way, it's because Ying Long's reputation has always been known for being vicious, and he really doesn't seem like someone who would do good deeds for free.

But at this moment, the bamboo piece issued a warning when he was about to fall into the ghost realm.It is enough to show that no matter what the motivation of Yinglong for giving him the bamboo piece is, the bamboo piece must be able to protect him.

Fang Yang's eye sockets were suddenly wet, and he rubbed his eyes with his empty hands.In such hopeless darkness, knowing that there is always someone protecting you, even if not around, is enough to bring tears to your eyes.

He opened his palm, and the light was the formation engraved on the bamboo piece. Fang Yang didn't know what kind of formation it was, but he felt that the bamboo piece in his palm was exerting force in a certain direction, as if it was pointing the way for him .

Fang Yang ran in the direction indicated by the bamboo slice regardless, and the light appeared again in front of his eyes. Different from the faint light on the bamboo slice, it was a white light that stings his eyes.

You can't see things in the dark, and you can't see things in too much light.Fang Yang tightened Cao Zirui's hand, closed his eyes, and ran into the white light without hesitation, their figures were engulfed by the white light.

He seemed to have stepped over something. The moment he ran into the white light, there was a dull sound of the stone door closing behind him.

Fang Yang didn't run anymore, he stopped.

He opened his eyes again, and in front of him was a huge hexagonal platform, with bright candles lit on each side of the platform, enough to illuminate it.

In addition to the candlelight, there is a door on each side of the six corners, a three-meter-high stone gate, and a huge plaque above the stone gate.

Fang Yang looked back to the direction he just ran in. The stone door behind him was tightly closed, as if it had only been opened the moment he ran in.

And there are two words written on the plaque - Humanity.

This is one of the six reincarnations, Fang Yang thought.The six paths... correspond to the six stone gates here.

He glanced to the left again, and sure enough, he saw the word "Heavenly Way" written on the nearest stone gate.

He was just about to look at the next stone gate, but suddenly found that the stone gate with the Dao of Heaven was opening, and a figure ran out from it.

It was Hao Chen who got separated from them not long ago.

Hao Chen looked a bit embarrassed, his clothes were disheveled, his hair was messy, and his complexion was a little flushed. It was unknown whether it was because of running or for other reasons.

He stopped after running into the stone gate, and when the stone gate closed behind him, he noticed Fang Yang next door who was staring at him in a daze.

Hao Chen unfolded his fan with a "swish", trying to cover up his embarrassment, he put on a handsome, nothing happened, and smiled at Fang Yang as usual.

But Fang Yang could clearly see the embarrassment on his face when he ran in front of the stone gate just now, and he didn't know what Hao Chen had experienced in the Dao of Heaven, so Fang Yang wisely didn't expose Hao Chen.

"This...what's going on?" Cao Zirui finally came to his senses.

He looked around blankly, not understanding what happened.

His memory seemed to be fragmented after meeting the last skeleton, and then it was blank. When he came back to his senses, he had already arrived at a brand new place.

He touched his abdomen belatedly, and the unbearable sense of hunger disappeared. Instead, there was still a sense of spiritual expansion in his body that was not digested because he had taken too many pills in one breath.

Fang Yang told Cao Zirui his conjecture. Everything they encountered should be to lure them into the trap set by ghosts.

In this tunnel called humanity, they didn't actually stay for too long, at most one or two hours, but in their perception, it seemed that a long, long time had passed, and the hunger was not real. Yes, everything is an illusion.

So after they left there, the hunger was all gone.The desire for fresh flesh and blood also disappeared without a trace.

Cao Zirui couldn't stop retching when he heard that he almost ate the unknown limb.

When everything returned to normal, so did his reaction to the stump.

And Hao Chen was thoughtful listening to Fang Yang's experience. Everything that Fang Yang and the others encountered was to lure them into ghosts.As for what happened to me, those sixteen screaming skeletons were not difficult to deal with, they were just miscellaneous soldiers, what was difficult was what happened later... Cough, Hao Chen recalled it, and his face became a little hot again.

Afterwards, he became angry from embarrassment, the counterfeit was simply playing with himself, knowing that he was a righteous god in the heavens and could not be bewitched, so he didn't even want to deal with him in the same way as Fang Yang and the others, but created some confusing things in front of his eyes. phantom.

Can he be the majestic Lord of the Northern Darkness, the great god who guards one side, be confused by these illusions?

Of course he... almost lost his grip.

Hao Chen fanned the fan a little faster, fanning away the remaining heat in his body.

After the three of them slowed down for a while, they finally had the time to get together and analyze.

"What is this place? Where is the brother? What should we do?" Fang Yang summed up all the problems.

However, both Cao Zirui and Hao Chen were silent, neither of them could answer.

"How are the six realms divided?" Fang Yang thought for a while, trying to clarify the truth from various clues: "We entered the realm of humanity, if it is because we are human, but why did Brother Hao enter the realm of heaven? Woolen cloth?"

He couldn't figure out the basis for the division of the six realms, so he frowned and pondered.

And Hao Chen slapped the fan twice with a guilty conscience. In fact, Fang Yang guessed right, the six ways should be divided according to each person's identity.

But Feng Ye is also a god, why didn't he walk the way of heaven with him?

Hao Chen thought of this, and looked around the remaining four stone gates. Before he could figure out which door Feng Ye was probably in, the sound of the stone gate opening was heard suddenly.

The three of them looked in the direction of the sound, and this time it opened...

One of the three evil ways, the hungry ghost way.

A human-like shadow came out of the Hungry Ghost Path.

Just like, because this shadow... is different from normal people.

He has two heads, and his torso is wider than normal, but he only has one pair of hands and feet. This weird proportion is like... two people who had one arm and foot cut off put together.

After the stone door was completely closed, the shadow also walked under the candlelight, and the three of them were finally able to see the true appearance of the thing clearly.

The metaphor just now is not just a metaphor, they are really two people... two people who have been cut off and put together...

Wang Wu and Zhao Yi, those two mountain bandits.

Fang Yang and Cao Zirui thought of the pair of broken hands and legs they had seen along the way at the same time, and it really belonged to these two bandits.

They didn't know how they became like this, but they didn't have much pain on their faces. Instead, they showed ecstatic expressions when they saw Fang Yang and the others.

In ecstasy, there is also greed.

The hungry ghost said, this hunger does not refer to hunger, but to greed for all desires.

The two of them were living people not long ago, but even if they were living people, what they did was no different from hungry ghosts.

Now that he has become like this ghost, it is... evil comes with evil.

The three of them didn't make a sound, but the two heads placed on the same body, Zhao Yi, took the lead in saying hello to these old acquaintances: "I didn't expect that our opponents are you. It just so happens that even our previous enemies Report together!"

Although he was saying hello, he was gnashing his teeth while speaking.

And he looked different from the three people who didn't know why so far, and he knew exactly where this was.

Hao Chen tentatively said, "Adversary?"

"Haha, you still don't know what this place is, do you?" Wang Wu also spoke. Apart from ridicule, there was also pity in his voice: "This is the formation of eight ghosts, the formation of refining ghosts!"

"The Formation of Ghost Refining?" Fang Yang repeated, and looked at Cao Zirui, still confused.

"All those who join the battle are evil spirits, this place..." Wang Wu stamped the ground with his foot on the side of his head: "It is the decisive battle place for evil spirits to fight."

"The last victor can go out and regain freedom, and the rest can only be eaten by the victor." Speaking of this, Wang Wu couldn't help licking his lips, staring at Fang Yang and the others with hunger and thirst intolerable.

"Wait, all those who joined the battle are evil spirits?" Wang Wu's explanation not only failed to make Fang Yang and the others understand, but became more and more confused.

They are obviously still human, so why are they evil spirits?

"Idiot!" Zhao Yi sneered.

Wang Wuze shook his head. He sighed, seemingly out of kindness, and pointed behind Fang Yang and the others, motioning them to look back.

The three of them turned their heads together, and saw that the words on the plaque that said the way of humanity and the way of heaven had changed.

The three of them looked at the other plaques, and all the plaques, the plaques with six names on them, had now all become two unified characters.

Ghost Road.

"Heavenly ghosts, human ghosts, hungry ghosts, you are already ghosts when you come out of the Six Paths Reincarnation Formation!" Wang Wu laughed loudly, revealing the truth with a ferocious expression:

"The six realms are all ghost realms!"

The author has something to say:

Everyone picked up firewood and the flames were high, and the small flames turned into big flowers, warm and cute =. =Be careful with you guys~

As for what Hao Chen experienced in this chapter, it is restricted and cannot be described. Please rely on your own efforts.
