Lin Yun helped Chang Hanliang, whose face was pale, walk. Chang Hanliang was weak and panting every three steps. He said with difficulty: "That lousy Taoist priest told me to rest?"
Lin Yun nodded.
Chang Hanliang cursed, "It's definitely about the money."
Lin Yun did not deny it. They had just taken the money given by the Taoist priest. He had the retreat drum player card, so he could run faster than Chang Hanliang. Therefore, he spent much less money than Chang Hanliang. Chang Hanliang spent almost all the money. Not long after he finished spending, Chang Hanliang became visibly weak.
In fact, Lin Yun himself is also a little weak now. This weakness comes from inside the body, as if he has overdrawn something.
I guess this is the price of using that item. It's easy to guess. The item is packed in a red envelope just like the ghost money that Luo Chuxue had touched. If it has no side effects, why doesn't Taoist Zhu use it himself
Luckily Tangning didn't use this tool, otherwise she would have fainted.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun glanced at Tang Ning beside her. Tang Ning was in good spirits and looked energetic. He walked very briskly.
Lin Yun was stunned for a moment.
He suddenly realized that Tang Ning's current condition was simply too bad, but she had just said that she wanted to soak in water, saying that her legs were as soft as noodles and it was difficult for her to walk a few steps.
Perhaps noticing his gaze, Tangning turned around. Her inky black eyes reflected a tiny glimmer of light in the darkness. She smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
The other side.
Tang Ning looked at the old woman kneeling on the ground and felt a deep sadness.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the old woman rejected Taoist Master Zhu’s suggestion, so Taoist Master Zhu’s plan would not succeed.
"Alas." Taoist Master Zhu sighed. He placed the statue that Tang Ning was inhabiting into a box. The box was open and placed on the center table so that Tang Ning could read everything that happened next.
Tang Ning had a bad feeling.
Taoist Master Zhu walked to the old woman's side and complained to her kneeling on the ground, "Why didn't you listen to me at the last moment?"
"I didn't want to be tainted with resentment. You volunteered to die for your grandson, and I just helped you fulfill your wish. We are all happy. Isn't this a good thing?"
The old woman raised her head in disbelief and met the face of Taoist Zhu, who was a hypocrite. "Alas, you forced me to do it. I didn't want to do it."
The old woman struggled to get up and tried to retreat, but a red line emerged from Taoist Zhu's sleeves and shot straight towards the dazed Zhang Yun.
The next second, Zhang Yun, who was controlled by the red line, suddenly pounced on the old woman!
His speed was incredibly fast, like a gust of black wind that instantly rushed towards the old woman and grabbed her thin shoulders!
The power gap was too great and the old woman couldn't break free for a while.
"Ayun!" The old woman called out her grandson's name in tears.
However, Zhang Yun bared his teeth at the old woman with a sinister look on his face, showing her crying mouth that was bleeding from the fish bone and his bloodshot, numb and fierce eyes. Under the dim light, the hideous and grotesque expression had ruined his originally handsome face.
The skinny and weak body of the old woman "Ayun" was completely unable to resist the monsterized Zhang Yun, and she had no intention of resisting. She even stretched out her dead tree-like hands and gently held up Zhang Yun's face, "My dear grandson, are you in pain?"
No!
Tang Ning watched as Zhang Yun opened his mouth and bit the old woman. A strong feeling of powerlessness lingered in his heart. He had no idea how many times he had faced this kind of powerlessness, and he didn't want to repeat the same mistake again and again.
He wants to stop all this!
"Old woman!" At this moment, the old boatman suddenly rushed out. He barely held down the mad Zhang Yun, but this was only temporary. He was an old man after all, and he would be at a disadvantage if he competed with a young and strong man. In addition, Zhang Yun was now more like an inhuman monster.
The old boatman only held on for a few seconds before Zhang Yun grabbed his neck!
No! Don't do this!
The old woman desperately pulled Zhang Yun's hand and kept shouting Zhang Yun's name.
Tangning watched this scene unfold with her own eyes, and the thought became stronger and stronger.
He must stop it! He must get out! He needs a body!
The strong will seemed to have reached a critical point, and a tremendous pain swept through Tang Ning's body.
A ray of golden light appeared on the statue.
Taoist Zhu opened his eyes wide, and first saw a hand composed of a faint golden glow stretching out from the sculpture, and then a slender forearm, with even more hazy golden light emerging, gathering into a slender human figure.
Golden light! This is the color that only the souls of people with noble fates can have in legend!
Behind his slender waist, Zhu Dao had a fish tail made of golden light. The soul of the legendary river god was in the form of a golden half-human, half-fish!
This is the river god appearing!
Although the figure was too slender, Taoist Zhu knew from the notes passed down from his master that the River God was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.
Although the river god's later image was that of an adult male, that form was the result of gradual evolution after receiving incense and offerings from generations and absorbing the power of faith.
Perhaps because it had been suppressed for too long, the river god's soul had finally returned to its original state, so weak that even mortals like them could not see its divine body.
Because the golden soul can become a god that protects everyone, many people want to capture such a soul, so generally the golden soul will deliberately consume energy to hide its body.
But Taoist Zhu remembered that the River God was still able to show his divine power in everyone's mind yesterday, and it was impossible for him to be so weak today. So there was only one possibility left, that the River God wanted to give them divine bodies!
Taoist Zhu knelt down in fear and trepidation, not daring to look at the divine body, let alone go around the golden soul to find out what was going on.
Of course he didn't, the face vaguely revealed by the golden soul was more similar to Tang Ning.
Tang Ning was floating in the air. He felt weak the moment he came out of the statue. Anything could hurt him, including the mad Zhang Yun.
The world of souls is somewhat different from that of ordinary people.
Tang Ning could see that Zhang Yun's body was surrounded by black air, and it was strangely black from head to toe, except for the pure white area on his left chest. Could this be the little accident that Taoist Master Zhu mentioned during the refining process? Tang Ning remembered that Taoist Master Zhu said there was a hole on Zhang Yun's left chest. This pure white hole had a familiar outline to Tang Ning.
It looks like the shape of his coral jade
That's right! Tangning remembered clearly that when Taoist Zhu was trying to pass the buck, he kept saying that Zhang Yun would have an accident because of the coral jade. In fact, Taoist Zhu was right. The coral jade was indeed an accident! The accident ruined the process of Zhang Yun's refining!
What should he do
The loophole must be in that white area! He should strengthen the power of that pure white area!
Tang Ning stretched out her hand, and the hand made of golden light slowly fell on the only pure white spot on Zhang Yun's left chest.
The moment they made contact, Tang Ning felt something flowing out of his body.
As expected, power can be transferred to the right person, a bit like the feeling of using the Suck It Up brand, but in this strange state, his power seemed to be very little, and he only gave a little to Zhang Yun. Tang Ning felt like he was going to die at any time.
Zhang Yun, stop now!
As if hearing Tang Ning's inner cry, Zhang Yun's numb eyes regained some clarity, but were soon covered by fatigue again. The last thing he saw after losing consciousness was a hazy face made up of golden light.
— “Is this a spirit?”
—"Why do you look more like Tang Ning when you are so divine?"
—“”
- "Perhaps this is what the god who saved him should look like in his heart."
The hand that was pinching the old boatman suddenly loosened, and Zhang Yun fell straight down. The old boatman also collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. The old woman hurried to check on the condition of the old boatman and Zhang Yun.
Tang Ning also wanted to find out what happened to Zhang Yun and the others, but he didn't have the energy to do so. He felt like he was about to turn into foam and melt. He couldn't control his strange body.
Somehow, there seemed to be an unknown attraction that pulled him like a magnet, so that he did not return to Taoist Zhu's mini statue. Instead, he crossed most of the town and returned to the strange temple at a speed that ordinary people could not understand or capture, and then he merged into the cold statue again.
The statue was still cold, hard, solid and airtight, but Tang Ning's feeling of weakness and panic disappeared instantly. He fell into deep darkness like a butterfly larva curled up in a cocoon.
"Have you used the money Taoist Zhu gave you?" Lin Yun stared at "Tang Ning" and his voice was strangely hoarse.
Chang Hanliang, who was leaning on Lin Yun, stood up straight unconsciously and stared at the man together with Lin Yun.
Under their gaze, that person suddenly lost all expression, and his temperament was extremely cold. Even Leng Linyun seemed to feel a chilly breath!
Danger!
Lin Yun's pupils continued to dilate, and a trembling feeling spread throughout his body. Cracks appeared on his "Tang Ning" like painted skin. A long crack spread from the top of his head to his toes, and then, a pair of slender hands slowly stretched out from the gap in the middle. With a teeth-grinding crackling sound, these hands tore open the beautiful skin!
The torn skin quickly turned into black fish skin and fell off, with the sound of bones creaking. The figure that emerged from the fish skin kept growing, and in the blink of an eye it became unusually tall, with the body outline of an adult man!
He raised his head, revealing an extremely handsome face.
Lin Yun's expression was blank, and the intense fear made him unable to utter a word.
Shao Mingxuan slowly twisted his neck and turned a circle. He stretched out his hand to straighten his head, and his fingertips fell on the cheekbone. When the pale hand moved away, the black scales on his face emerged without any cover, adding a strange and evil beauty to his face.
Those narrow and long black eyes did not look at Lin Yun and Chang Han. These eyes were usually covered by glasses. When they were not hidden, the malice in the eyes poured out unscrupulously!
"Ah—" He muttered to someone unknown, "I was negligent."
