Chapter 121 Ghost Work, Heart Lake

In the secret room, amid the banging sounds of ghosts and monsters, Cinnabar entered Gao Jian's divine gate.

Gao Jian looked around.

The surroundings were like hell, with many ghost craftsmen, perhaps captured from the underworld or hired.

These ghost craftsmen kept hammering out all kinds of translucent "souls",
Gao Jian had also heard of this. As the saying goes, 'superb craftsmanship', it actually refers to this kind of 'exquisite skills that cannot be achieved by human hands'. 'Superb craftsmanship' and 'divine craftsmanship' have always been synonymous with superb skills.

Mr. Jingjiang hired a lot of skilled workers, which shows his great generosity and his love for cinnabar.

When Gao Jian looked around, he was surprised to find that they were tempering the souls of those without true spirits.

It has no real spirit, which means it cannot be considered a living thing, it is just a kind of material.

The soul is a very magical material.

From what Gao Jian saw, the texture was similar to that of plasticine or crystal slime.

When Gao Jian thought about the possibility that these things were molded into various shapes by ghost workers, then put into the fetal spirit, and then stuffed into the woman's belly, a new creature was born, he felt it was very wonderful.

Of course, Gao Jian could also see that the textures of these spirits were also different. Some were hard, some were soft, some were elastic, some were floating like clouds, and some were heavy like soil.

Gao Jian didn't know what the differences were, but he saw that different types of soul materials were being carved, hammered, and forged into different shapes, forming a very complex soul.

Various materials have been used to complete the two souls and seven spirits of Dansha's true spirit in front of him. The part that is currently being carved is as hard as metal. It should be quite difficult to change such a soul. He saw that these ghost workers were using files.

This complex structure of the soul made Gao Jian feel like he would get a headache if he looked at it for any longer than a few seconds.

The information is so dense that it hurts the eyes, like looking at a piece of paper with no punctuation and all covered in sesame-sized cursive writing and a whole page of cheat sheets.

No wonder the "master craftsman" is brought up in the same breath and is called a craft that transcends human power.

But after just one glance, Dansha had already run over, and habitually drilled into Gao Jian's spiritual gate and made a sound.

Her voice was much more lively, without the reserved tone that Gao Jian had when he first met her: "Uncle, Gao Jian, why are you here?"

Now she is more like a spoiled child.

Seeing Jingjiang Jun's dark complexion, Gao Jian immediately said, "I came to say hello to you. I am going back to Cangzhou. Jingjiang Jun and I are going to avenge you."

Dansha was surprised and said, "Really? Then you must teach those dragons a lesson! Not only did they deceive me, they also did a lot of bad things!"

Her body swayed with joy, and she kept wagging her tail like a silver loach.

"Don't worry, just stay here and wait for these ghost workers to help you build your soul. Then I will find a way to regenerate a physical body for you." Jingjiang Jun said immediately.

"Well! That's a good idea, uncle. Keep it up!" Dansha immediately looked grateful.

Although only Gao Jian can see it.

Gao Jian stretched out his hand and placed it on the peach wood where the Cinnabar Spirit was originally stored.

Peach wood is a fairy wood. According to legend, the original peach forest was formed when the giant Kuafu failed in his attempt to chase the sun and died of thirst. He eventually threw away the staff in his hand, which can ward off evil spirits. Hanging peach charms or peach wood swords have the effect of warding off evil spirits.

The evil-repelling objects are used to contain the soul, so that the cinnabar's true spirit will not be disturbed by evil spirits. At the same time, it can also prove that there is no evil spirit or bad energy in the cinnabar's true spirit itself.

As the saying goes, "In the middle of summer, when everything is flourishing, it is called the summer solstice. Yin energy is budding, and it is feared that things will not flourish, so a peach seal six inches long and three inches square is used, with five-color writing as the law, to decorate the door and window to stop the bad energy."

The cinnabar flowed back into the peach wood along his hand.

Jingjiang Jun said, "Be careful here, I'll be back soon."

"What about Gao Jian? Did Gao Jian come back with you, uncle?" Dansha asked.

Jingjiang Jun scratched his head and said, "You'll have to ask him about that."

Then he looked at Gao Jian with a somewhat unfriendly look.

Gao Jian shook his head and replied, "I probably won't be returning to the East China Sea in the short term. I still have a lot of things to deal with in Cangzhou."

"Ah...Is that so?" Dansha seemed a little disappointed.

Jingjiang Jun immediately grabbed Gao Jian, forcibly lifted him up and dragged him away, turning back and waving as he walked away: "Don't worry about the two of us, you stay here and take good care of yourself, your uncle will be back soon!"

He spoke with some gnashing of teeth, but Gao Jian did not resist and just waved his hand: "Well, see you again if we are lucky, Dansha."

"Be careful!" Dansha's shadow floated out and waved his hand.

There was no response, and the door slammed shut. Layer upon layer of doors and seals quickly closed in order, leaving no gaps at all.

Jingjiang Jun transformed into his true form, let Gao Jian sit on his head, and then rushed into the sky!

Gao Jian lost his balance for a moment and quickly grabbed the dragon's horn, then broke through the sea surface and rushed into the sky!
Damn, does this dragon have something against me?
Just as Gao Jian was complaining in his heart, he saw that the sea was red, and above the red sea, there were many sea beasts.

It really is... a lot.

There were so many sea beasts around that it was a bit scary. There were so many of them, hundreds of them!

Powerful water monsters of all shapes and sizes exist here. Gao Jian seriously suspects that all the sea beasts within a thousand miles have come here...

Common types such as protozoa, coelenterates, crustaceans, and chaetognaths are everywhere.

There were also a large number of rarer segmented sea beasts, mollusks, bearded sea beasts, various large fish beasts, etc. Among them were even extremely rare large tube-dwelling worm-like bearded sea beasts. There were even some sea beasts that he didn't recognize at all, they were 100% deep-sea and pelagic species.

All of these sea beasts are of high rank.

Moreover, these sea beasts are all fighting for this piece of sea water.

"Dragon blood?" Gao Jian suddenly realized something.

In other words, during the time when Jingjiang-kun came back, there was a fight outside...

There is no corpse, so the dragon must not have died.

But it seems that the East China Sea is not peaceful. The fact that I was able to wait for Jingjiang Jun to come back was partly due to luck.

But if you look at it this way...the Zuo family also had plans for Dansha and Jingjiang Jun, but they were cracked by someone other than themselves.

However, the good news is that their plot must have failed, otherwise, I would not have met Jingjiang Jun.

It is impossible for a noble family to be the only one plotting its affairs; other forces must also be involved.

Knowing this clearly, Gao Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

This meant that his efforts were not in vain, and the many forces he had attracted finally brought results. The breeze brought about by the flapping of the butterfly's wings and the flaws he had created in the tree could still make them pay a price.

Gao Jian looked at those sea beasts and couldn't help feeling happy.

Jingjiang Jun then transformed into a complete dragon body, flew up into the clouds, and used the clouds to cover his body. He said, "Boy, are you sure you won't return to the East China Sea?"

"Jingjiang Jun, there is no need to worry so much. Why would I come to the East China Sea if I had nothing to do?" Gao Jian smiled. He came to the East China Sea only because he was sick.

"That's good." Jingjiang Jun nodded and swam in the clouds at an extremely fast speed.

Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger. When a real dragon soars in the sky, clouds will naturally rise up around it to cover its whereabouts, making it look like just clouds floating.

Gao Jian was in the clouds, riding a dragon, overlooking the rivers and mountains. He felt that the sea was extremely magnificent, the land in the distance spread infinitely, and countless mountains stood on it, which was exciting.

The rivers and mountains are vast, and the waves are surging.

Looking across the plain, dragons and tigers roam freely.

Thousands of mountains and rivers, magnificent and majestic.

Turtles and crocodiles fill the water, and the rivers are like carp.

Endless blue clouds and vast smoke waves.

No matter how many times you see it, you will feel that this world is so magnificent, so vivid, and so gorgeous. It is truly a great painting.

"Why do you look like you have never seen the world?" Jingjiang Jun said.

"No matter how many times I see this scene, I always feel the same way," Gao Jian sighed.

When Jingjiang Jun heard this, he suddenly slowed down.

He seemed to be somewhat touched and surprised when he said, "You know, Li Zuofang said the same thing as you."

Gao Jian laughed and said, "Haha, really? That's normal, right? After all, look at this landscape of rivers and mountains, it's so magnificent and beautiful, how can it not be beautiful?"

Jingjiang Jun shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. Different people will see the same scenery differently."

"You people have broad and flat hearts, you are intelligent and open-minded, so this scenery may also be exceptionally flat and beautiful in your eyes."

While speaking, Jingjiang Jun suddenly lowered his head. People like Gao Jian and Li Zuofang, do they all think that this world is beautiful?

Because they think the world is beautiful, so they are willing to do those things?

maybe.

As for Gao Jian, when he heard what Jingjiang Jun said, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, speaking of this, I'm quite curious. Although I always talk about the heart lake, the heart lake, and I can indeed feel the existence of the heart lake, but the heart lake itself... what is it? Is it my feeling, or is it a real thing? Jingjiang Jun, you are in the ninth realm, can you explain it to me?"

Gao Jian has actually been puzzled about this for a long time.

From the very beginning, he knew the existence of the heart lake, and knew that everyone's heart lake was different.

The world is a landscape, and only when the lake of the heart reflects these landscapes can people see them.

It’s like when you lose a duel and the other person says “thank you for giving me that”, to some people it sounds like sarcasm, while to others it sounds like a friendly expression from the other person.

Same words, different feelings.

This is because the scenery reflected by the heart lake is different.

The book says that some people's hearts are turbid and narrow, so any good words they hear sound sharp and sarcastic, but is there really such a difference? Is the heart lake a concrete existence, or does it just exist as an adjective?

Even though he has witnessed his own "heart lake" with his own eyes, Gao Jian still finds it difficult to understand. Until now, he still hasn't figured out whether this heart lake is an illusion or reality?
"You are only in the third realm, and you are already thinking about this? Do you want to break through the divine barrier?" Jingjiang Jun asked.

"Yes." Gao Jian nodded.

"Then I can't say more. If I say more, it will hurt you. All you need to know is that the Heart Lake... is real, that's all." Jingjiang Jun answered, and then he suddenly added: "To be honest, I feel relieved that you can ask this question."

"Are you relieved?" Gao Jian asked doubtfully.

"Haha, you know you were talking to me about Li Zuofang before, as well as the prologue and the layout. I was quite surprised. I felt that you might be some kind of monster who was rebuilt."

"But now it seems that although you are a little more thoughtful, you are still a young man after all," said Jingjiang Jun.

"Alas, I don't quite understand where your stereotypes and fixed mindsets come from." Gao Jian shook his head: "I'm not a deep thinker at all, I'm just smarter."

"I can see that." Jingjiang Jun's tone softened a lot.

As he spoke, Gao Jian glanced down and suddenly found an old place.

Glass Golden Gate.

Before they knew it, after just a short while of chatting, they had already arrived at the Lijin Gate. It was really fast.

However, looking down from the sky, the four-realm mechanism of the Lijin Gate was broken?
The surroundings were full of traces of fighting. You could also see that the site where the Four Realms Mechanism was destroyed had been blocked off. Formations had been set up around it to prevent anyone from entering. You could also see some government officials patrolling downstairs.

However, although the mechanism was broken, the garbage dump was still operating normally. This time, not only children were there, but also many adults, dressed in various styles, picking up things in it, and even the occasional flash of gunfire could be seen.

Without Lijinmen, someone will always want to take over this big piece of fat meat called the garbage dump. The local government probably also hopes that someone can take control of the garbage dump so that a large amount of garbage will have a place to go instead of being piled up there and annoying people.

"What are you looking at?" Jingjiang Jun stopped.

"I'm watching that. When Dansha and I were escaping, we had a fight there. It was quite dangerous." Gao Jian said.

"Oh, I know. Dansha told me that you, as a person in the second realm, broke through in the battle and killed dozens of people in the second realm and seven people in the third realm. Finally, you used Dansha to kill a fourth realm mechanical master, right?" Jingjiang Jun remembered that Dansha had told him everything before.

"Well, but was there any more fighting here later?" Gao Jian stared at the destroyed Four Realms Mechanism.

"Let me see." Jingjiang Jun looked down carefully.

"Oh, the sound of the piano of Yuanxiao Qingluo, and the combination of the water god and the witch, it should be the Zuo family, and Zhong Yu from Yan Ge. Yuanxiao Qingluo is in Zhong Yu's hands, and it is very famous." Jingjiang Jun said.

Gao Jian was surprised: "Yan Ge helped me stop the Zuo family's pursuers?"

"It should be." Jingjiang Jun nodded.

Gao Jian was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand... Let's go back to Cangzhou. It's a million miles. How long will it take?"

"It'll be there tomorrow."
