Chapter 2505: Body and soul running in opposite directions
Gu Chen played with the Thunder Knife for a while, then felt bored and threw it aside.
The skeleton jumped out immediately, and its two slender arm bones awkwardly caught the broken knife.
Although this thunder sword is not complete, it is also extremely heavy.
"If you have any luggage or trophies, just let the old servant take them."
He explained, staggeringly holding the knife and following behind Gu Chen, like a loyal servant.
Gu Chen didn't care and kept walking forward. He became more and more curious about the mysterious depths.
For hundreds of thousands of years, although he has not left Hongmeng Ten Thousand Kingdoms, he has never stopped improving his cultivation.
Now he chooses to face the mystery because of his confidence in his own strength.
After walking for several days, Gu Chen and Gu Chen slowly left the burial area, with the white snow right in front of them.
Although the burial area is vast, it doesn't take that long at Gu Chen's speed. The main reason is that he deliberately slowed down and became familiar with the world.
In addition, the skeleton was not walking fast, and Gu Chen was also accommodating him.
It wasn't that Gu Chen had any intention of accepting this strange servant, but some changes in him aroused his interest.
The skeleton followed behind with a knife in his hand. He could not walk steadily at first and looked like he might lose strength at any time.
However, after walking through the long burial area, its pace became more and more relaxed, and the thunderous broken knife in its hand became more and more stable.
What's even more strange is that he, who originally only had a skeleton, gradually developed flesh and blood along the way, becoming more and more like a human being.
This scene was very horrifying. Just as he was about to step into the ice and snow, his whole body was covered in flesh, blood and internal organs, with only no skin left. He looked like a terrifying skinned man.
Gu Chen stopped under an ice cliff and turned to look at the skinned man strangely. The aura on his body became more and more similar to those of the haunted gods.
"Is there anything unusual?"
The old servant asked what he thought was going on ahead.
Gu Chen was speechless, wasn't the biggest anomaly right in front of him?
He shook his head, took out firewood, animal meat and a jug of wine from the space inside his body, and decided to take a short rest.
It is a kind of enjoyment to light a bonfire, taste hometown delicacies and drink a few sips of strong wine in this barren place.
Over the long years, Gu Chen has long been indifferent to life, old age, illness and death, as well as the rise and fall of history. This is the only food he cannot let down.
The heat was controlled just right, and the top-quality animal meat was roasted until it was golden and crispy, and Gu Chen's appetite was whetted.
A mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine. Who would have thought that someone could be so comfortable at the entrance to this mysterious forbidden place?
"Sir, can I have a sip?"
The old servant's scary face came up to him and he swallowed.
Gu Chen didn't say anything, handed him the wine bottle, and took out another one.
The old servant took the wine bottle and immediately took a big sip into his mouth, but the wine quickly flowed out of his exposed throat, basically wasting it.
"Does it taste good?"
Gu Chen asked.
“Can’t taste the taste!”
The old servant answered truthfully.
Gu Chen smiled, stopped talking, and poured himself a drink.
"Master, I'm sorry for wasting your wine, but it's been too long since I've had such a sip, even if I'm just having a hard time."
The old servant said a little disappointed, and touched his face where all the blood vessels were clearly visible. He seemed drunk even though he didn't drink much.
"The master must have noticed something weird about me along the way, but he didn't expose me. I'm very grateful."
"The old servant's original face is actually very handsome. If we walk a little further ahead, I might be able to see it."
Gu Chen just drank and didn't talk.
The other party did not inquire curiously, and the long speech that he had originally prepared could not be laid out naturally. The old servant was a little embarrassed, but after the atmosphere was deserted for a while, he continued to talk to himself.
"In the past, I died in the White Night Ominous Palace. After my consciousness woke up from the confusion, I found that I had become a haunted god in the Ominous Palace."
"Since I am lucky enough to regain consciousness, how can I live up to it and immediately try to escape from the evil palace?"
"I took back control of my body and finally walked out of the ice and snow. However, I found that as I got further away from the evil palace, my body became weaker and weaker, until I reached the end of the burial area. Once I entered the thunder field, I would turn into a corpse.
For dust.”
"It's ironic that I died because of the mystery, but I also maintain this state of immortality because of its curse."
"The closer I get to the Evil Palace, the more chaotic my consciousness becomes. The farther away from here, the clearer my consciousness becomes."
"The body and the soul are at odds with each other. For a long time, I have been wandering in the burial area, lonely and confused, with no one to talk to."
"My abnormal evil palace can sense, so there are often ghosts and evil things chasing me. I have tried my best to avoid them these years, and the evil palace does not take me seriously. The number of experts sent is limited. After all, I am no matter what.
Nor can we escape its curse."
Gu Chen put down the wine bottle, and it turned out that this was the reason for the strangeness in the old servant.
He had no doubt that he was lying, and the increasingly thick and haunting atmosphere proved his words.
"Since the closer you get to the Fierce Palace, your consciousness becomes blurry, so why do you still follow me?"
Gu Chen was still curious after all. The body can be reborn after death, the body can be taken over, and reincarnation can occur. But once the memory disappears and I lose my consciousness, I will no longer be me.
Rather than becoming a evil spirit who only knows how to kill, living as a wise skeleton in the outer burial area is an option.
"Meeting the master is the greatest luck in my life. I have something to ask of the master."
The old servant said.
"You and I met by chance, but you think too highly of me."
Gu Chen said calmly.
"My vision is not wrong. If it is the master, it will definitely be possible."
The old servant's tone was very determined.
"Then tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
Gu Chen said casually.
This old servant was killed by a mystery and still retained his consciousness after death. He must have been a great person at one time.
It was not easy for him to survive in this world for so long. He kept calling himself "Master" and devalued himself as a servant. He also gave up all pride and showed an extremely humble attitude.
If it's just a small favor, he said that considering this, it's not impossible to consider helping.
"I dare not speak."
The old servant suddenly betrayed him.
Gu Chen was speechless, and he quickly explained: "Master just saved my life before, and he has not done anything yet, so how can he dare to make any excessive demands?"
This statement makes sense.
"So you accompanied me all the way into the White Night Fierce Palace just to perform meritorious deeds so that I could help you?"
"Exactly, the mysterious place is full of dangers. I know that I have great powers, but I still need to be cautious. I am willing to serve as a soldier and do the work of dogs and horses."
"But once you go deep into the Evil Palace, you run the risk of losing your mind, and you will become an obstacle to me."
"Master, there is no need to worry about this. I will never be a burden to you. I will definitely come in handy."
"Since you have made your oath, then continue to follow, but if you lose your mind, I will not hesitate to kill you."
"This is what my old servant wishes!"
The two men clashed their wine bottles and reached a consensus.
