The Mystic Painter of Recovery

Chapter 180 Ghost Sacrifice
Zhao Yichen pushed open the wooden door, and a twisted road appeared in front of him.

This twisted road has no end in sight, and the road is twisted and twisted strangely from time to time.

The road has to be pitch-black, and this darkness is not darkness.

Rather a state resembling nothingness, where nothing seems to exist around the road.

But he could see through this darkness, and he could clearly see this twisted road.

'This road is alive, it is likely to be a ghost. '

Such a thought popped into Zhao Yichen's mind.

The weirdness of this road can no longer be explained by supernatural phenomena. It is dark but can clearly see through the darkness, twisting and wriggling road.

Everything seems to imply how unusual this road is.

"Do you want to go in?" He Yuelian looked at this scene, feeling a little worried. At this moment, she already had the idea of ​​leaving the tower.

It's just that Zhao Yichen didn't respond, and just looked at everything inside the wooden door.

After a while, he said this.

"Let's go in and have a look, maybe the secret of the tower is here."

He Yuelian said: "Are you sure you want to go in again? You have to know that the fifth floor alone has already used all of our supernatural powers. If we go down this road, we will very likely encounter some supernatural powers that we cannot handle."

"Definitely, although there may be dangers, this road is likely to hide the secret of this tower."

"And with my current strength, although there are still many supernatural events that cannot be solved, there are actually very few supernatural events that can hurt me."

He Yuelian nodded upon hearing this, and did not continue to ask further questions.

Now that Zhao Yichen's ability can really be said, there are not many supernatural powers that can hurt him.

The infinite restart of the ghost painting, the restart of the scope of the ghost heart, plus the protection ability derived from the red wedding dress, and the consciousness protection of the black ghost blood plus the red hijab.

These abilities have already made him invincible.

Just not being hurt and successfully handling supernatural events are two different concepts.

He can survive in the hands of any ghosts other than the Seventh Elder, but he cannot deal with all the ghosts below the Seventh Elder.

It's like a ghost painting, is she strong?Very strong, but this strong is because she is difficult to be restrained, even her body is difficult to find, even if she is found, few people can be imprisoned.

As long as they are not imprisoned, the ghost painting incident will still have an impact on reality, and people will continue to be involved in the world in the painting.

However, after being controlled, the position of ghost painting has changed.

She is no longer the ghost who constantly attacks humans and draws them into the world in the painting.

Instead, you need to deal with other ghosts.

Li Gui is killing people without any scruples, so he can't let it go.

But ghost masters will not, on the contrary they need to deal with those ghosts who are constantly killing people, so they will appear to be much weaker.

This is the effect of position.

Although Zhao Yichen has many supernatural events that cannot be imprisoned, there are not many people or ghosts who can imprison him.

The two set foot on the twisted path.

However, the moment the two of them stepped onto this twisted path, the surroundings changed.

The darkness of nothingness around the original path began to blur, and then some buildings appeared in the nothingness.

That is, a dark asphalt road, all around the path is dark.

At the same time, a house can be seen in the distance.

The house looks very old, the style is a bit biased towards the first century, and there is a red wooden door in the house.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yichen's eyes narrowed slightly.

This is the place where he used to control the ghost painter. This spiritual place seems to be on the border with Dachang City, but unexpectedly.

He has been to Dachang City several times, but he has not seen the existence of this supernatural place, as if he walked out of the supernatural place and appeared in Dachang City just by accident.

The ghost painter brought Zhao Yichen the ability to see through ghosts and reality. If there is a supernatural place that is connected to Dachang City, he doesn't even need to get close.

He only needs to take a look from a distance, and he can see the overlapping and intertwining of the two worlds, but unexpectedly, he has been to Dachang City a lot.

Moreover, Dachang City is also very close to Dachang City, but he has never seen the ghostly place where the old house is located.

'Why did the old house appear here? 'Zhao Yichen was puzzled, but he could only look at everything in front of him.

This is the first place where he came to this world, and it is also the beginning of this world's change.

Immediately afterwards, he saw another building, which was a residential area, surrounded by high-rise buildings and blood mist.

'This is the Chunfeng community where ghosts broke out. '

The changes are more than that, the hotel where the ghost statue is located, Dachang City surrounded by starving ghosts and ghosts, the Hongfa Temple where the Lord of Ghost Eyes is, and the road where the ghost blood pool is revived.
One after another, the ghosts that Zhao Yichen had met before appeared here one by one.

"These buildings are all supernatural events that I have experienced. This path seems to be able to reproduce the supernatural places in other people's memories."

Zhao Yichen said to He Yuelian beside him with some seriousness.

"These are the supernatural places you experienced back then?" He Yuelian was a little taken aback.

She has seen many supernatural places that even now she finds terrifying, it is hard to understand how Zhao Yichen experienced it back then.

One after another, there are supernatural places, strange counties in the Republic of China, European-style manors, western castles, and cemeteries where ghosts are buried.
These are all the supernatural places that Zhao Yichen encountered when he was on the bus.

"Let's go, walk along this path, and maybe you will encounter the source of this incident when you reach the end."

The two walked forward, although this weird path derived from the supernatural events that Zhao Yichen had encountered back then.

But these supernatural events seem to be separated from this path, and they can only be seen, but they cannot be affected.

Although the trail looked twisted and couldn't see the end, the two of them walked very fast.

It seems that the path itself is constantly regressing, and the end point is constantly approaching them.

As the distance to the finish line got closer, Zhao Yichen also saw many supernatural events that he had only recently experienced.

He even saw another tower in the memory world.

It's just that this tower, like other spiritual places in previous memories, has no actual impact on the two of them.

Finally, after several hours of travel, the two came to the end of the path.

At the end of this path is a place similar to that used for sacrifices in ancient times.

There is a very strange altar in front of it, and that altar seems to be made of white bones.

There is also a figure standing on the altar, this figure is wearing a strange costume, it does not look like the costumes of the Republic of China period.

On the contrary, it is more like the clothing of the primitive era. People use animal skins to smear various natural pigments, and then make things like animal bones into ornaments to wear on their bodies.

Of course, even in modern times, there are still some primitive tribes, so this kind of clothing is not necessarily something that existed in ancient times.

And this figure, from the looks of it, seems to be a priest who is offering sacrifices to some unknown existence at this time.

Even if Zhao Yichen appeared, it was also in a state of ignoring it. It seemed that it didn't notice it, and it might be that Zhao Yichen didn't conform to its law of killing.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, it has already launched an attack on Zhao Yichen.

This is a ghost sacrifice, this word reminded Zhao Yichen of something.

Sacrifice is responsible for offering sacrifices to some sages who died.

In ancient times, or in some primitive tribes, priests were responsible for worshiping creatures that made them feel stronger than themselves.

In addition, this tower is a memorial building, so Zhao Yichen guessed that the previous ability to summon dead people was not based on the ghosts outside.

Memory and worship, ghost priests pull out people who used to exist through memory.

Statues and painted walls are to provide the dead person with a body to return to the world.

Songs, dances and characters are used to record and praise the past deeds of the dead person.

Moreover, these summoned people, whether they were Elder Qin or the clones of Zhao Yichen, all conformed to the concept of sacrifice.

That is, they have no sanity, just like the beliefs that people believe in. They only expect the enveloper to protect them, but they don't hope that the other party will communicate with themselves.

Therefore, these derived characters will only attack the people who broke into here regardless, and they will not be rational, let alone communicate.

Moreover, the copied Zhao Yichen possessed 100% of the actual strength at that time, which is very likely related to the way of derivation here.

At that time, the ghost mural was used as the main body to carry Zhao Yichen's power.

Then the other three ghosts applied various abilities to the murals.

In the end, the ghost priest provided him with the memory of the battle, superimposed the power of five ghosts, and at the same time one ghost was used to carry the ghost of that person.

In this way, it is not surprising that 100% of a person's strength can be copied.

Moreover, after copying, as the individual that carried the ghost, Ghost Mural lost all the ghost for a short time, as if it was suppressed and crashed.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yichen didn't rush forward.

He used the supernatural power of the deceiving ghost to create a human being, and at the same time used the ability of the ghost heart to summon a blood man.

Let the blood man control the dazed person to walk up to the altar.

Just as Zhao Yichen created a human being, the ghost priest looked towards him, but he didn't move.

Until the moment that person just walked up to the altar, the ghost priest seemed to be angered.

Walking directly in front of that stunned person, stretching out his hand to grab it, the created person actually turned into a phantom, until it dissipated.

"Will you be attacked if you get close to a certain distance? Or will you be attacked if you walk on the altar?" Zhao Yichen thought.

However, what happened next overturned his idea.

Because the blood man was not attacked by the ghost priest, after killing the created person, the ghost priest returned to the original place.

"It's a bit strange that the ghost slave who attacked the man that was created, but didn't attack me."

"Does it mean that only when a living person walks on the altar will his law of killing be triggered?"

After all, in matters such as sacrifices, it is indeed a taboo for living people to go to the altar.

Except for the priest himself, no one else is allowed to go to the altar.

"It's possible. After all, it's very rude to walk up to the altar in front of the priest." He Yuelian nodded.

"So we will be attacked if we go up now?" Zhao Yichen asked doubtfully.

Although they are ghost bodies now, they still have human memory and personality.

Moreover, Zhao Yichen even used the supernatural power of deceiving ghosts to allow the two of them to recover part of their human abilities, such as eating, sleeping, and emotions.
"Not necessarily, it depends on how it judges." He Yuelian shook her head, indicating that it didn't know either.

She is now the body of a ghost, but she just restored certain human abilities with a deceiving ghost, so in the judgment of the ghost, she is actually a ghost.

Only Zhao Yichen, he is still in the state of a person, even if he is standing in front of the ghosts, they will still think he is a person.

"Let's go up and have a look first, this ghost's killing pattern can't be figured out by humans."

Zhao Yichen walked up to the altar, but the sacrificial ghost didn't respond at all, as if he didn't trigger the ghost's law of killing.

He Yuelian followed, also without any response.

"It's a bit strange." He Yuelian said.

"Indeed, I will summon another person to try."

Speaking of which, Zhao Yichen used the ability to deceive people to fabricate another person.

No accident, the moment that person appeared, he was directly killed by the ghost priest.

Seeing this, he pulled out another ghost from the world in the painting. He still had another guess in his mind, and he needed to test it.

He took out the ghost meat and threw it on the altar.

Sure enough, the ghost priest did not give up attacking the opponent because the ghost meat was a ghost, but still stepped forward to grab the ghost meat.

It's just that ghosts can't be killed, so ghost priests didn't transform ghost flesh into phantoms.

It's just that the ghost meat lost its ability to move after being caught, and the flesh and blood that had been wriggling before also lost its response.

It seems to be suppressed.

Seeing this, Zhao Yichen stepped forward and grabbed the ghost meat, preventing the ghost priest from taking the next step.

Then a strange scene appeared, when Zhao Yichen grabbed the ghost meat, the ghost priest immediately let go of his hands, as if he was afraid of Zhao Yichen, he walked back to his original position.

"It seems to be afraid of you. Does this ghost have wisdom?"

He Yuelian asked.

"No, maybe it's not that this ghost is afraid of me."

"If he really had wisdom, then it wouldn't have shown its killing patterns in front of me just now, let alone attack ghost meat."

"Smart ghosts are all good at disguising, even if they have simple wisdom, they will also lay traps."

"Perhaps it is the same as what I said before, this is also part of the law of killing this ghost."

"We defeated [-]% of Old Qin's strength and went to the fifth floor, and fought with the replicas summoned by the superposition of these five ghosts on the fifth floor."

"Perhaps the ghost's way of killing is to attack anyone who gets close to it."

"But there is an exception, and that is those who successfully broke through from the fifth floor."

"After all, it is a sacrifice. What does the sacrifice represent?"

"They believe in those existences that are stronger than them, and regard those existences that are stronger than themselves as gods."

"And we, being able to break through the fifth floor, also meet this point."

"And this blood man, strictly speaking, also belongs to my spirit, has my spirit, so it will not be attacked."

"In other words, this ghost's law of killing is to attack all those who are weaker than it, and those who are stronger than it will be regarded as gods by it."

"Not only will it not be attacked by it, but we are gods in its eyes, and it dare not approach at all."

A look of interest appeared on Zhao Yichen's face.

This is a bullying ghost, weaker than it, it kills without rules, and will be attacked as long as it gets close.

Those who are stronger than it will be regarded as faith by it, and they will not even dare to approach the other party.

"So, we shouldn't be in any danger here?"

He Yuelian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Maybe, but who knows? Maybe there are other more powerful beings in the ghost priest's memory?"

Said Zhao Yichen walked towards the direction of the ghost priest, the ghost priest saw Zhao Yichen approaching him, and took a few steps back.

The two just chased and fled, circling the altar, and it seemed that the priest couldn't leave the ring.

Although it retreated when Zhao Yichen approached, it would retreat in a different direction when it was about to leave the ring.

At the same time, when Zhao Yichen walked forward, it would immediately follow.

Just as Zhao Yichen guessed before, this ghost seems to believe in people or ghosts who are stronger than itself as gods.

He has always kept a distance of exactly three meters from Zhao Yichen, neither far nor near.

It's similar to a loyal servant, who can't be too far away from the master, and can't be too close to the master.

"Okay, stop playing, come here and have a look."

At this time, He Yuelian's voice came.

In front of her, there was an altar, on which some things were written.

A piece of red paper, a stone the size of a human head, a portrait that can't be seen clearly inside, and a brush at the same time.

Zhao Yichen stepped forward, looked at the altar and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

It seems that some kind of ceremony is being held here, but it is not clear what this awareness means.

Is it a sacrifice?Or some kind of contract?
'Here is a memorial building, which is specially used to record some very powerful existences, so it is very likely that it is used to record some powerful existences. '

Zhao Yichen glanced at the ghost priest who was three meters away from him, grabbed He Yuelian, and led her back a certain distance, keeping a distance of exactly three meters from the altar.

As the two retreated, the ghost priest advanced again, but at the same time as it advanced, it came to the altar and picked up the writing brush.
