Outside the house, a dozen teenagers had been attracted by the screams just now. They happened to see Uncle Yuan coming out of the house, and they felt a little strange: "Uncle Yuan, what is this?"
"I gave you a lesson for tranceing without permission and without supervision. Why, some of you also want to trance."
Reminiscent of the feeling of being beaten with a stick by a family member when he was a child, everyone couldn't help but shuddered and hurriedly shook their heads: "Don't think about it, don't think about it."
"I don't want to go back to sleep!"
Uncle Yuan scolded everyone back, looked back at the ordinary stone house, sighed and turned around to leave.
In the room, the restrictions were imposed, and Gou Chen became a mortal who could not summon his true energy. However, the restrictions of the chains were not lifted, but became stronger and stronger, gradually dragging his mind into the netherworld.
This netherworld is not a place where the dead return, but a place where sight is invisible and hearing is silent. Falling into this netherworld, the five senses are cut off, and only the existence of prohibition turns into a glimmer of life.
It has to be said that Gouchen, the most talented person in the village for thousands of years, is indeed very stubborn. Even if he sees his mind being pulled into the netherworld step by step, he will never give in.
As for the ban carved out by lines, he didn't even look at it. He seemed to be prepared to wait for Uncle Yuan to take the initiative to let him out.
Outside, he noticed Gou Chen's movements, and Uncle Yuan couldn't help but feel happy: "Good boy, be brave, I want to see how long you can last in that netherworld. Even your uncle, I can only endure it for three days."
As the saying goes, one day on earth is one year in hell.
Although the Netherworld is not the underworld, the people who originally invented the ban on gods and ghosts borrowed this idea and used the power of heaven and earth to blend into the ban. Although time cannot be changed, it is indeed extremely easy to speed up people's perception of time.
In the first year in the netherworld, Gou Chen endured it and never looked directly at the restriction once.
Then came the second year, the third year, and even the fourth year.
In the fifth year, the hunger feedback from the outside world was exerted on Gouchen, and his steadfastness softened a little.
In the sixth year, Uncle Yuan came in, and as the enforcer of the ban, he created colors and scents in this space where the five senses should not exist to seduce Gou Chen.
In the seventh year, Gou Chen remained unmoved. Uncle Yuan left and completely eliminated the last trace of light, plunging him into the most complete darkness.
In this disturbing darkness, the restriction emerged, and the chain full of runes became the only thing he could see and touch.
In the eighth year, in order to divert his attention from hunger and thirst, Gouchen could only look at the chains that prohibited manifestation.
In the ninth year, even without thinking about it deliberately, he saw through the operation mode of the ban. At this point, the ban itself could no longer attract his attention.
In the tenth year, Uncle Yuan seemed to be determined to make him submissive and didn't even feed him a sip of water. Under such circumstances, Gouchen could only try to break the ban with his own strength and go out to eat.
However, it seemed that Gouchen could unlock the restriction from the restriction itself, so Uncle Yuan deliberately changed the key of the lock to other knowledge and skills.
Body dance, body sacrifice, driving ghosts, life souls and other traditional skills, as well as external methods such as talismans, formations, medicinal herbs, and astrology.
Although Uncle Yuan from Gouchen is not good at everything and can only be ranked among the top three or five in the village, he has learned so much that it would be difficult for an average person to achieve even half of it in a lifetime.
If Gou Chen wants to get out, he must reach the same level or even exceed it. Otherwise, he must surrender and never do anything outrageous again.
Uncle Yuan's wishful thinking was very good. His decades of accumulation could trap this bastard for a few years (in the human world), but he ignored the meaning of the word "genius".
Fourteen days later, Gouchen still didn't come out. To prevent him from starving, Uncle Yuan fed him.
Then came twenty-one days and twenty-eight days.
It wasn't until more than three months later that Gou Chen, who had a thin body, opened his eyes, stretched out his hand a little in the air, and with just one finger, the dozens or hundreds of chains disintegrated inch by inch.
Feeling the true energy in his body again, the thin Gou Chen looked at the shocked Uncle Yuan and smiled: "Uncle Yuan, you don't have enough chains."
...
In the ruins of Fengmen Village, listening to Gouchen's narration to him, for some reason, Jiang Xin gradually felt an ominous premonition in his heart. Seeing that he was getting deeper and deeper into the village, he spoke carefully.
"By the way, Mr. Gou, can you tell me my grandfather's name?"
Gou Chen turned around and looked at Jiang Xin with a half-smile, but did not answer him. Instead, he said: "The village's view of me is right. I am indeed the most genius in thousands of years. Unfortunately, those other guys
It’s not that great anymore.”
"One or two are not only slow in refining Qi, but also slow in learning. It took them ten or twenty years to understand what I could learn in a few days."
"Originally, I thought that my ability could not be passed on to others. However, I met a person, a person who can perfectly adapt to the needs of hundreds of schools of thought."
Looking at the black chains gradually emerging from Gou Chen's hand, Jiang Xin vaguely understood what the old man in front of her was going to do.
The village has had no successors for hundreds of years, and he is also getting old. If he wants to pass on the skills that cannot be preserved for a long time, introducing outsiders seems to be the only way.
But Jiang Xin doesn’t want to!
If he can study peacefully, he will have no problem. The key is to be banned and dragged to the netherworld, which is definitely not what he wants!
"etc!"
Seeing that Gou Chen was about to put the chain on herself, Jiang Xin shouted: "I'm not from your village, haven't you thought about the taboo of not spreading it to others!"
Gou Chen paused for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly: "If it were another family, there would still be some taboos, but your Jiang family and I still have some connections. When he asked me for it, I didn't give it to you, so I just gave it to you this time."
"Wait a minute! Give him what he wants. What do you mean by tying me up with a chain?"
"I don't know how to teach people, and he doesn't want to be bound by a restraint. I can't beat him. It happens that you are his descendant and weaker than me. Putting a restraint on you can be regarded as completing what I did back then. As for whether you can control it
Come on, then just ignore my business."
After saying that, Gou Chen didn't care what Jiang Xin wanted to say. He stretched out his hand and threw out the chain, locking it all over Jiang Xin's body.
In just an instant, the originally clear meridians, Dantian, and acupuncture points were covered with a layer of black runes, faintly forming nine shackles and three chains.
"Okay, it's done." He clapped his hands, and Gou Chen threw Jiang Xin out: "I'm not a bad person, I didn't seal your Yuan Qi, it was the means you took from others before.
It can’t be used for the time being. We’ll see when you can lift the ban.”
The clouds were rising in the mist, and before Jiang Xin could say a word, he found that he was already standing on the mountain again. Looking towards the original direction, Fengmen Village had been hidden in a heavy fog.
