I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"Gu Xiu... just... died like that?"

"Junior brother!!!"

Seeing the ghost body of "Gu Xiu" being completely ignited by the flames and shattered in front of them, Xu Wanqing and Yuchi Chunlei were both shocked.

They had never expected that things would develop to this point.

Gu Xiu is obviously very smart.

How could he do such a stupid thing and even get himself into trouble???

At this moment, the two people's hearts were extremely complicated. Yuchi Chunlei's reaction was the most intense. When she saw "Gu Xiu's" body turned into green smoke and disappeared, she seemed to have gone crazy. She actually followed "Gu Xiu's" footsteps and rushed towards the flaming divine gate.

However, her target was not the Vermillion Bird divine feather in the flaming divine gate, but the bursts of green smoke that had been burned out and were floating away.

She never dreamed of it.

Gu Xiu actually chose to end his life in this way. Although she had been shaken several times in the moments of life and death before, when she saw Gu Xiu die like this, Yuchi Chunlei still found it hard to accept it. Regret, annoyance, powerlessness and all kinds of emotions emerged in her heart.

That timidity seemed to dissipate with the smoke.

At this moment, she had only one thought.

We must protect Gu Xiu!

Even if I die, even if I die here, I must do something for Gu Xiu!

but……

When she rushed out desperately.

"Senior Sister, calm down!"

"If you rush out now, not only will you be of no help, but you might even get yourself hurt!"

At the critical moment, it was Xu Wanqing who intervened and stopped Yuchi Chunlei. Seeing Yuchi Chunlei's violent reaction and her indifference to her advice, Xu Wanqing gritted her teeth and said again:

"Junior brother may not be dead, Senior sister, don't be impulsive!"

This statement was indeed more effective than words like "Gu Xiu is already dead, you can't die too" and "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood to burn." At least Yuchi Chunlei actually stopped and asked:

"Junior sister, you...what do you mean? Are you saying that Junior Brother might not be dead?"

"This..." Xu Wanqing felt a little numb. She stopped Yuchi Chunlei from dying just because she didn't want her to fight alone. As for whether Gu Xiu was dead or alive, to be honest, in Xu Wanqing's opinion, this was not a problem at all.

After all, even the ghosts have turned into smoke, so logically there is no hope of survival.

But she couldn't say such words, she could only speculate:

"Junior brother has never been such an impulsive person. He obviously had some suspicions just now, so he acted like this. Moreover, he is a person with great fortune. Even immortals have to make plans for him. It is absolutely impossible for him to die so easily."

"So, Senior Sister, please don't be impulsive!"

She herself didn't believe what she said, and naturally she didn't think Yuchi Chunlei would really believe her. However, it was indeed the case. Yuchi Chunlei, who had originally stopped, took another step forward.

but.

While the two were arguing, a sudden voice came from behind them:

"By the way, do you think I, Gu, am the kind of person who is so stupid as to die?"

Ok?

These words came out so suddenly that they startled the two people who were struggling. Looking back, they saw that "Gu Xiu", who had already disappeared into smoke, had reappeared behind them for some unknown reason.

even.

It was as if she had reshaped the ghost body, and even the injuries that the ghost body had originally had were now completely recovered.

"Junior brother, are you still alive?"

"I knew it, I knew that you, Junior Brother, would never die like this, hahahaha!"

Seeing her, Yuchi Chunlei immediately exclaimed.

Crying with joy.

Xu Wanqing, who was standing next to them, also looked at Guan Xuelan as if she had seen a ghost. She had clearly seen with her own eyes how Guan Xuelan was burned into smoke by the flaming gate like a moth to a flame, so why did she appear behind them now, intact?

"Junior brother, have you discovered anything?" Xu Wanqing couldn't help but ask.

"I did discover the reality of our situation right now."

"Oh?"

"But let me tell you, you two can't understand it with your brains." Guan Xuelan pointed to the flaming gate in front of her:

"Go inside without fear of death, and you will naturally understand what I mean."

This……

Xu Wanqing hesitated.

Yuchi Chunlei, who was standing next to him, perked up and asked expectantly, "Junior brother, are you saying that if we imitate what you did just now, we won't die?"

"If I were going to die, do you think I would still be standing here?" Guan Xuelan asked back.

Yuchi Chunlei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she no longer hesitated and walked towards the flaming gate. This silly move stunned Xu Wanqing who was standing next to her.

no……

You really believe it?

But she didn't stop her anymore, she just stared at Yuchi Chunlei, which was visible to the naked eye.

Like Guan Xuelan before, Yuchi Chunlei's ghost body immediately became weak, and it became visibly blurred and faded, until it finally became transparent.

This scene made Xu Wanqing's scalp tingle, but Yuchi Chunlei on the other side didn't even make a sound, as if she didn't feel any pain at all.

Finally, with a "hiss", it turned into green smoke and disappeared before her eyes. Xu Wanqing was a little afraid to move. She swallowed and glanced at Guan Xuelan, who had an expressionless face.

"Junior brother... Senior sister..."

"What's the hurry?" Guan Xuelan was very confident. She turned her head and looked behind her. Xu Wanqing followed her gaze and looked back, but saw that there was no one behind her.

wrong!

At this moment, Xu Wanqing suddenly noticed something. Looking carefully, she saw that not far behind the two of them, wisps of residual souls and broken spirits suddenly gathered together.

next moment.

The wandering souls and broken spirits turned into the image of Yuchi Chunlei right before her eyes. It was only a moment before Yuchi Chunlei's cry of surprise could be heard:

"Junior brother, you are so amazing! I didn't even feel any pain just now, and you revived me!"

"You can even discover this, you are worthy of it!"

"Junior sister, you can try it. We can't die at all. Even if we die, we will be resurrected immediately. This is amazing. We are like invincible here. We can't die at all!"

"..."

This time, Xu Wanqing was completely shocked.

"Did you see it?" Guan Xuelan asked.

Xu Wanqing nodded subconsciously, but then couldn't help shaking her head. She probably understood something, but didn't know how to describe it.

Fortunately.

Guan Xuelan directly solved the mystery:

"We are not dead, nor have we become ghosts. It is just that our consciousness was extracted through some unimaginable means and sent here when we entered the temple."

"Our bodies, souls, and all our cultivation are still within the temple. Our current ghostly form is actually just a collection of the remaining souls and spirits within the Suzaku Secret Realm, but the dominant consciousness has become our own."

"So, whether this ghost body is dead or alive, no matter how badly it is injured, it will not have any impact on us. Even if our ghost body is burned, the remaining souls and spirits in this place will gather together again to help us recover."

"Theoretically, we are here, which is equivalent to having immortal bodies."

"..."

Listening to Guan Xuelan's analysis, Xu Wanqing finally understood the peculiarity of this place. For a moment, she couldn't help but sigh, "Junior brother, you are still as smart as ever. I don't even dare to imagine how you discovered this."

"That's right, Junior Brother is the smartest person in our Qingxuan!" Yuchi Chunlei exclaimed from the side.

Guan Xuelan was very happy to be praised.

But the two people praised Gu Xiu, which made Guan Xuelan unhappy. At this moment, she had a cold face:

"Although I discovered this problem, it will not be easy to obtain the opportunities here. Even if we are not afraid of death, this ghost body still cannot enter this door."

"It's true that we can't die, but it's very likely that we'll be trapped in this hellhole forever."

As soon as these words were spoken, the passion that had been brewing in the hearts of Yuchi Chunlei and Xu Wanqing was instantly extinguished.

Yes.

They really don't have to worry about dying, but even if they die, they will eventually end up in this hellish place. From this point of view, it is hard to say whether the current situation is good or bad.

"It's actually a good thing. We don't have to worry about life or death, which means we have more opportunities to try next time."

"Speaking of which, the reason our Yin Soul bodies can be constantly reshaped is because there are many residual souls and broken spirits in this Suzaku Secret Realm. We may be able to use these residual souls and broken spirits for our own use and strengthen our Yin Soul bodies. In this way, we may be able to contend with the Suzaku Divine Fire!"

"This is indeed a solution. We are now in the form of ghosts. Why not see if we can take over the body of a monk? If we can, maybe we can also enter this door with our physical body."

"Although the ghost is not even considered a divine soul, it is not completely unable to affect the outside world. It's just that we are not strong enough. Perhaps the three of us can try to merge."

"..."

When the threat of life and death was not so urgent, the three people's minds began to become clearer, and a series of ideas began to emerge.

Just do it.

After all, they were not afraid of death, so there were naturally more things they could try. After making a quick decision, the three of them started to act.

only……

Not long after, the expressions of the three began to become serious.

Absorbing the residual souls and spirit fragments here to strengthen one's own ghost body is indeed a good idea, but when the three people actually took action, they found that although their ghost bodies were dominated by consciousness, they were not strong enough. Although they could absorb the residual souls and spirit fragments here, the speed was extremely slow.

This means that using this method will take them a lot of time, perhaps even years.

Afterwards, the three of them began to try to take over the body.

Their initial target was actually Xiao Ping'an or Yun Zheng, but before the three of them could take any action, they were strangled to death on the spot by the aura from Yun Zheng.

In desperation, they chose other monks who were besieging Xiao Ping'an.

There are quite a few people among these people who have weak cultivation.

The three of them quickly chose a target to possess.

only……

After all, ghosts are not pure souls, but more like half of souls, and their current ghost bodies are very weak. They have succeeded in taking over the body, but as soon as they rush into the sea of ​​consciousness of a cultivator's soul, they are immediately counterattacked and strangled to death by the other party's soul.

As for the fusion of the three souls...

This was successful.

The ghost body itself is like a handful of sand. The fusion of the three ghosts is like the merging of three handfuls of sand. It can be done without explicitly selecting the person who will dominate the body.

just.

Even if the ghosts of the three of them merged into one, the power of the ghosts was still not that strong. Whether they forced their way through the fire gate or tried to take over another body, they all failed without exception.

"No, even if the three of us gathered together, it wouldn't be enough. Only with thirty or even more ghosts would we be able to get that feather before we burn to death."

Finally, the three came to a conclusion.

Their ghosts are not strong enough, even if the ghosts of three people are combined, it is still not enough. Unless their ghosts are ten times stronger or even more, they will be able to compete with the Suzaku Fire.

But here comes the problem.

There are indeed residual souls and broken spirits here, but if they really hope to use their power to slowly absorb the residual souls and broken spirits, the time required will be unimaginable.

If it just takes time, it's fine.

What worried the three of them the most was the temple where their physical bodies were. When they were outside before, their spiritual energy consumption was very huge, and the spiritual energy in their bodies was being consumed rapidly every moment.

If their spirits were still in their bodies, it would be no problem to use spirit stones and pills to replenish the energy consumed, but now their consciousness is in this ghost place, and their bodies cannot absorb spirit stones on their own.

It's okay for a short time.

Over time, it may even damage their essence and cause them to fall in realm.

"Damn it, the current situation is that it takes time for us ghosts to grow stronger, but we are not given any time. If more people could come and become like us, it would at least shorten the time." Guan Xuelan frowned and muttered to herself.

The three of them combining together can indeed strengthen the soul to the greatest extent, but after all, there are only three people. If there were more people, they could really strengthen the power of the ghost in a short period of time.

Just a pity.

There are only three of them in this state here, how could there be more people?

Yuchi Chunlei beside him also nodded and said worriedly:

"I'm afraid that won't work. I've only met one outsider so far."
