The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 520 Seven Lamps

"Restart? No, it's not a restart. It's not as efficient as a restart, but it's pretty good."

Zhang Xianguang, who was bound by chains, took a hard look at Gu Chengjun who was recovering.

Gu Chengjun, who had been cut into two parts by him, was recovering quickly at this moment. Some kind of special supernatural power made his body start to recover from the divided state like a progress bar.

But this seemingly astonishing recovery method is not strictly a restart, because the restart process cannot be so slow. The so-called restart is actually to let the supernatural power affect time, so that you or everything within a certain range will be in the same place. Return to a moment in the past in an instant.

However, for a ghost master who had died long ago and hadn't wandered outside for nearly 20 years, it was incredible to be able to master such a means of recovering from injuries.

However, at this moment, Gu Chengjun obviously didn't have the heart to respond to Zhang Xianguang's praise.

After recovering, Gu Chengjun had only one thought in his mind.

"Send you on your way."

The moment the body merged into one, Gu Chengjun seemed to have made up his mind, and immediately clenched the chain in his hand, and then pulled it back violently, as if he wanted to let the chain further restrain Zhang Xianguang through this pulling. .

Suddenly.

Following his movement of pulling the chain back, the rusty chain suddenly gave off a more sinister breath, as if the law of killing was satisfied again, so this inexplicable danger began to attack Zhang Xianguang through the chain.

In fact, under the training of Gu Chengjun, the Ghost Chain has two rules of killing besides the law of killing if you touch it.

If you pull it, you will die, if you imprison it, you will die.

The seemingly only one chain actually contains three terrible curses of mortal death, and this is why Gu Chengjun was known as the ghost banner many years ago.

Even a ghost can hardly bear the three mortal laws of killing at the same time.

At this moment, with Gu Chengjun's tugging, three mortal spirits were triggered at the same time, and immediately locked Zhang Xianguang who was bound in them.

The attack came suddenly.

The three mortal laws of killing are extremely deadly under the superimposition of supernatural powers. Gu Chengjun does not believe that under such means, Zhang Xianguang will not be hurt at all.

But this way of confrontation that forcibly triggers the three laws of killing is actually an extremely risky behavior, because strictly speaking, the current Gu Chengjun has actually triggered two of the laws of killing.

When the ghost attacks the opponent, it will also affect the ghost master himself who launched the attack.

However, the padlock hidden on the iron chain played a role at this time.

Gu Chengjun's action of pulling back the chain was specially conceived. While pulling back the chain, he would also specially make his arms make a tilted posture, so as to trigger the padlock on the chain to protect him.

In the situation where he only needs to withstand two kinds of spiritual attacks, relying on the protection of padlocks and other means of self-protection, Gu Chengjun firmly believes that Zhang Xianguang must not be able to withstand the spiritual attacks before him.

And things seemed to go as he expected.

next moment.

Zhang Xianguang, who was still struggling under the chains, immediately stopped his movements. He lowered his head, his face turned gray, his body lost the ability to move, and began to rot rapidly, as if he was dead.

"Success?"

Gu Chengjun did not expect Zhang Xianguang to be killed by himself just like that.

According to his speculation, Zhang Xianguang should have other means, for example, some supernatural props that have been treasured for many years have not been used yet.

Gu Chengjun didn't know how many tricks Zhang Xianguang had mastered, but he knew very well that his teacher could never be so simple.

For a person born in 1942, judging by his age, Zhang Xianguang has been in the supernatural circle longer than he has been alive. A ghost master of this level must have mastered many supernatural methods, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be caught by himself like this. killed.

That is when Gu Chengjun had doubts.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Zhang Xianguang's dead body began to fester rapidly, and the flesh and blood on his body fell off, until only a skeleton was left. Then, before the chains continued to tighten, the bones on the skeleton were broken and turned into powder and scattered on the ground.

Zhang Xianguang's body turned into a pile of ashes out of thin air. The sudden change made Ghost Chain not even realize it. It fell around the pile of ashes in a circle, as if enclosing the pile of ashes.

"It's not right, this is not caused by the ghost chain attack."

Seeing this scene, Gu Chengjun's eyes instantly became gloomy, and his complexion fluctuated.

The ghost chain was cultivated by him bit by bit. He knew exactly how to use it to kill people and what the corpse would look like after killing someone.

And the killing ability turned into a pool of ashes is definitely not the ability of ghost chains.

This Zhang Xianguang has a problem.

"outside."

Suddenly, Gu Chengjun raised his head, as if he had noticed something.

He could feel some kind of spiritual interference on the path outside the ghost photo studio.

This spiritual interference seems to have always existed, but it has never been exposed before.

The reason for being exposed now is probably not because Zhang Xianguang is dead, but because the real Zhang Xianguang is finally willing to show his face.

immediately.

Gu Chengjun's figure disappeared in the ghost photo studio, and appeared on the path outside the ghost photo studio instead.

Although this path is set up in front of the ghost photo studio, it is also a part of the ghost photo shop. As the manager, he can of course appear anywhere in the ghost photo shop freely, and can only appear in the ghost photo shop. within the region it belongs to.

But when Gu Chengjun came to the small road outside the ghost photo studio, his eyes shrank suddenly, as if he saw something unbelievable.

Just on the path in front of the ghost photo studio, a winding path suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and it was forcibly inserted beside the path in front of the ghost photo shop. consent of the library manager.

What is even more frightening is that at this moment, a haze of darkness is covering the winding path.

The darkness fell, and the sky there seemed to be darker than the sky in the ghost photo studio. It was gray, as if the whole world was gray.

But the winding path was not dark, but a ray of light.

This ray of light is not a glimmer of light in the darkness, but a ray, or a ray of light gathered by seven clusters of light, which is extremely conspicuous.

And in the middle of this ray of light, Zhang Xianguang stood there motionless.

However, there was not only one Zhang Xianguang standing there, but seven Zhang Xianguangs.

These are six people who are exactly the same as Zhang Xianguang in appearance, clothes, and even the big knife in their hands.

Among the seven Zhang Xianguang, one of them seems to be the main body of all Zhang Xianguang, with an oil lamp placed above his head, and the other six Zhang Xianguang each have six identical lamps placed at their feet. oil lamp.

Six oil lamps, six Zhang Xianguang surround the middle Zhang Xianguang, forming a hexagon.

The oil lamp above the head and the oil lamps around are regularly arranged in a shape. When the oil lamp burns, the light that lights up is dim and yellowish, and it looks a bit hazy in the darkness. It looks very strange, just like the scene of the practice .

But the weirdest thing was that while the oil lamp was burning brightly, there seemed to be a faint stench in the air.

The smell is a bit foul, giving people a feeling that they will instinctively want to vomit after smelling it, like the smell of burning corpse oil.

"Seven-star lamp?"

Gu Chengjun immediately identified how the smell came about, but he didn't really care about how the smell came about, because he knew the corpse very well, and it could be said that what kind of smell would be emitted from any place after death. Knows well.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help thinking of some ancient legends.

When it comes to seven lamps, many people will think of the seven-star lamps in folk rumors, commonly known as "life-sustaining lamps".

Among the folklore, the Seven-Star Lantern has a saying that "if the main lamp does not go out within seven days, it will increase by one era". According to the rumors, there are two people who use the Seven-Star Lantern to renew their lives, and one is from the Three Kingdoms period. Zhuge Liang of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that although Zhang Xianguang has indeed placed seven lamps right now, and these seven lamps are burning at a fixed position at the moment, the effect of these seven lamps is not a theory of life extension, but a kind of light. It will feel extremely terrifying supernatural means.

At this moment, seven oil lamps and six Zhang Xianguang appeared in Gu Chengjun's sight.

It doesn't stop there.

When Zhang Xianguang, who had a corpse oil lamp on his head, was illuminated by the oil lamp, a shadow was reflected on the nearby ground.

This is a shadow that is abnormal just by looking at it, because this shadow will shake and twist unexpectedly, as if trying to break free from the ground, as if it will be able to leave the ground and stand up in a short time.

Although the shadow seemed to have not been completely perfected and was still in the state of a black shadow, when Gu Chengjun saw the shadow, he immediately recognized that the outline of the shadow looked like a person.

This is the shadow of Zhang Xianguang, holding a big knife in the shadow's hand, but this Zhang Xianguang has not yet fully formed, so it is not standing on the winding path like other Zhang Xianguang who are already complete.

"This is the Zhang Xianguang who was killed by me. So that's the case. Is that Zhang Xianguang just a clone?"

Gu Chengjun reacted immediately.

However, even though he had guessed the answer, such an answer made him feel hopeless.

At this moment, Zhang Xianguang finally revealed his truly terrifying side.

Not only is his plan horrifying, but the strength he displayed also makes people feel desperate.

Even if Gu Chengjun thinks he is not bad in the supernatural circle, he is not enough to compete with Zhang Xianguang in front of him.

In the spiritual world, he had never seen a ghost master who could display such a degree of supernatural power.

If it is really a one-on-one fight, Gu Chengjun still has some confidence that he can fight Zhang Xianguang without restarting each other.

But the situation in front of him can be answered by just evaluating it in his heart.

If measured by the previous Zhang Xianguang's strength, Gu Chengjun can only be sure to fight off three such Zhang Xianguang at most.

This is his limit.

But right now, there are seven Zhang Xianguangs like this, and there is even an eighth Zhang Xianguang being conceived in the light of the corpse oil lamp.

This means that unless the weird corpse oil lamps are destroyed one by one, or all the Zhang Xianguang in front of him are killed at the same time, Zhang Xianguang can not only restart, but even create seven clones during the restart.

With such a gap, it is impossible for a ghost master of this era to face a ghost master of Zhang Xianguang's level alone.

Even in the period of the Republic of China, such ability is enough to be called top-notch.

"Chengjun, I will give you one last chance to hand over the chain voluntarily. I don't have to make things difficult for you. Otherwise, you know the end of going against me. I have been planning the Taohuayuan plan for a long time, and there is absolutely no possibility of failure. You can't stop it." mine."

After revealing his means, Zhang Xianguang who had a corpse oil lamp on his head spoke.

He doesn't seem to mind the fact that a clone died before, and he even has a partiality towards Gu Chengjun at the moment.

It was also because of this that he didn't act immediately when Gu Chengjun showed up.

Otherwise, seven swords were swung down at the same time, not to mention Gu Chengjun, even if Gu Chengjun and Gu Li came to battle together as a father and son, it would not be enough for Zhang Xianguang to slash.

Hearing this, Gu Chengjun sighed, and then smiled, but the smile was a bit complicated: "Teacher, if you say something, it's hard to get it back. There is no medicine for regret in the world. You taught me this truth."

While speaking, he took off the chains wrapped around his arms little by little.

Then, he threw the ghost chain to the ground vigorously.

"Ugh……"

Hearing Gu Chengjun's answer, Zhang Xianguang didn't feel surprised, on the contrary, he seemed to have guessed Gu Chengjun's persistence long ago, and felt very contradictory pride and intolerance.

What is proud is that the students who have taught still remember what they said, and carry it out to this day.

What I can't bear is that I have to meet such an outstanding student with swords, and even kill him with my own hands.

That is, at the moment when the ghost chain fell to the ground, some terrible taboo seemed to be triggered.

"Crash--!"

"Crash--!"

For a moment, the gloomy surroundings seemed to be filled with a thick darkness like ink, and in this darkness where you can't see your fingers, the sound of iron chains colliding staggered, and then countless strange rusty iron chains suddenly came from Stretching out from the darkness, they are intertwined and entangled with each other, rushing towards the seven envious lights on the winding path like a net.

"Send you on your way first."

However, at this moment, facing the overwhelming chains, the eyes of Zhang Xianguang, who was surrounded in the middle, finally showed a hint of ferocity. The students slashed over violently.

……

"boom!"

I don't know how long it has been.

The gate of the ghost photo studio was forcibly broken open.

A figure holding a big knife walked in slowly, exuding an aura that could make anyone tremble, as if this person had just experienced a life-and-death fight.

"ended?"

In the hall, a man with weird tattoos asked after seeing Zhang Xianguang.

His words sounded like he was asking, but his tone was full of natural meaning.

"ended."

The big knife in Zhang Xianguang's hand disappeared. He raised his hand and looked at the rusty chain in his hand with some regret.

He looked at the rusty chain, his eyes seemed to miss someone, and he seemed to miss the past time: "Since you are so willing to remember what I said in the past, why don't you want to listen to what I say now?" What about opinions?"

Didn't stay long in the memories of the past.

"Let's go."

Zhang Xianguang turned around and left first.

But when he was on the winding path back to the ghost post office, and before leaving, he turned his head and glanced at the ghost photo studio.

"One person killed my two clones, and also destroyed my two oil lamps. Cheng Jun, you are really outstanding, but it's a pity that we couldn't join forces after all."

After feeling a little emotional for a moment, he and his teammates walked towards the winding path until their figures disappeared on the road of the ghost photo studio along with the path.
