Chapter 557 Gray Fog Tavern

"Why is it so soft? It wasn't like this last time."

"Last time?"

"Ah, Sister Chujiu, please don't look at me with such strange eyes. Last time, when Governor Cao Yu came to encircle and suppress Wuzu City, Ji Xun was also injured. I helped to treat him. Card masters of the physical path have strong blood and qi. So when they are healthy, they shouldn't be like this."

"Oh."

"And it stands to reason that the silver moon divine pollution on Ji Xun's body will stimulate pleasure and lust, but now the injury has almost healed, and his body is in this state. It's not a good sign. It should be because he used the [Black Magic] gloves in the battle a few days ago, which aggravated the pollution."

"Xiaonan, you mean the magic Female distortion? But didn't they say it was suppressed before? "

"Yes. He should have used the secret method of the Abyss Succubus clan to suppress it. There are related records in our Nan family's inheritance, but I haven't learned it. Wait, I'll go look through the classics."

"Sister Chujiu, I found it. Well, it's recorded in the classics, first like this and then like this, the mantra flows along this meridian, and then the extracorporeal circulation. Hey, it works. But...but"

"What's wrong?"

"Ah, this. The classics say that this succubus secret method requires cooperation from others."

"Need cooperation?"

"Yeah. Otherwise, Sister Chujiu, you come and try it?"

"? ? ? "

"."

Ji Xun felt groggy.

And inexplicably at ease.

It's been a long, long time since I've slept so peacefully.

It was a state of extreme relaxation when I knew I was safe, so I relaxed all my vigilance.

The soul seemed to be floating in the sky, the body was wrapped in clouds, and the whole world had a soft and continuous touch.

I pinched it, and it felt like silk.

I don't know how long it took, but the light consciousness seemed to sink back to the body.

Ji Xun's soul was connected to the perception of the body.

At this moment, there was a sharp pain in his chest.

Oh.

I remembered that it was the wound left by the sneak attack of Queen Orlan.

The wound had divine remnants, and the erosion of the high-level law was not so easy to deal with.

But this rate of pain also made Ji Xun suddenly distinguish between dreams and reality.

Consciousness gradually became clear.

He woke up.

He opened his eyes and saw the canopy canvas of the military green tent.

Ji Xun's mind flashed with a picture like a blackout after drinking, and then he remembered that he had fainted at that time.

Did Xiaonan help him deal with it?

Yes, it felt very familiar, just like last time.

After a while, his pupils focused.

A gentle concern came from his ear: "Hey, Ji Xun, are you awake?"

Ji Xun looked at the scene in front of him and the double images overlapped, condensing into the familiar and cute smiling face with a bun.

Nan Jing blinked her clear eyes, and her round cheeks were slightly rosy for some reason.

She looked at Ji Xun with a dull look, and the strange color in her eyes disappeared instantly, and she said to herself: "Hey, is there something wrong?"

Ji Xun heard it, and his brain reacted for two breaths before he slowly understood what he heard.

The injury was very serious, and the power of the silver moon had a great impact on mental power.

Nan Jing's hands lingered around a group of hotels and gently stroked the temples on the side of his forehead. Ji Xun felt a cool energy soothing his paste-like thoughts.

Sure enough, only with a good nanny can he sleep peacefully for so long.

Ji Xun has completely woken up.

Lying down for too long feels like his body is rusty, and he wants to sit up.

The lady with a bun on the bedside hurriedly helped him, muttering: "You were seriously injured before, you can lie down for a while."

"It's okay."

Ji Xun himself is proficient in medical skills. Once the magic power is activated, he roughly knows that his body has recovered.

Many wounds have been treated very delicately, and it can be seen that Nan Jing did it.

As soon as Ji Xun sat up, he felt a little cool on his body. He looked down and saw that he was not wearing any clothes.

Only the place where his chest was seriously injured was wrapped in gauze.

Well, he took a glance and looked heroic.

Ji Xun didn't feel anything at all.

Nan Jing didn't seem to see it either.

This scene is so similar to the time when they were in Innocence City.

At that time, the two were far from being so familiar with each other, and the lady with a bun was still a shy girl. Ji Xun still remembers the scene of her blushing shyly.

However, when the scene reappeared, the two of them no longer had the kind of shyness they had at the beginning because they were not familiar with each other.

Nan Jing helped Ji Xun sit up, and she didn't shy away from it. She also helped him adjust the pillow on his back so that he could sit more comfortably. At the same time, she asked, "How do you feel? I helped you deal with the injury on your chest, but the divinity can't completely clean it up, and I don't know if there are any hidden dangers."

"It's good enough."

Ji Xun looked at the girl with a bun in front of him and smiled, "Thank you for your trouble, Xiaonan."

Nan Jing's dimples sank slightly, revealing a pair of cute little tiger teeth, "What's the 'trouble'?"

Ji Xun asked again, "Have I been unconscious for a long time?"

Nan Jing said, "Yeah. You've been unconscious for five days."

"Five days?"

Ji Xun frowned and tried to recall what happened in the past few days, but he seemed to remember nothing.

Turning around, Nan Jing was standing by the window, with his hands behind his back, pursing his lips with a smirk on his face.

Ji Xun didn't know what happened. He looked around the tent and saw that there was no one else, so he asked, "Where's Chujiu?"

"Ah, she was here just now."

Nan Jing pretended not to know, and her expression could not hide a sly smile when she spoke, "It seems that she went outside the tent."

The two of them were already familiar with each other, how could Ji Xun not see the little expectation of "ask me what happened" on her expression?

He also asked casually: "Oh. Did something special happen just now?"

Nan Jing finally couldn't help laughing, and asked knowingly: "Ah, you don't remember?"

Ji Xun cast a blank expression.

Nan Jing's beautiful eyes turned cleverly, and her long eyelashes blinked and said: "Just now, Sister Chujiu helped you to operate the qi and meridians of the 'Succubus Secret Method', and then you touched Sister Chujiu, who was probably embarrassed to stay here, so she went out."

The ball-headed lady vividly described what happened just now.

It didn't happen to me, of course, there is a kind of fun of eating melons.

After saying that, she did not forget to add: "Ah, Sister Chujiu didn't mind at first. Who knew you would wake up suddenly."

"."

Ji Xun looked at the gloating expression of the ball head, and he understood what happened by listening and guessing.

When injured, people's willpower is the weakest, and the Silver Moon divinity has a huge negative impact on the spirit.

So after being injured five days ago, she should have been contaminated by the witch and backfired. Then, while Nan Jing was treating her injuries, he wanted to help her suppress it.

Originally, Miss Ball Head should have done it herself, because the priest was the most professional doctor. But the succubus secret method made the girl a little embarrassed after all. If she was alone, she would not care so much about treating Ji Xun.

But there happened to be a sister Chujiu who had played with her since childhood in the tent.

Then Miss Ball Head did something bad.

When Chujiu heard that he needed help with treatment, he helped without saying much.

Ji Xun could even imagine the scene of Chujiu doing it directly without expression.

Then there was a follow-up.

Maybe the succubus's secret technique has a direct reaction to the body, so it's clumsy.

Ji Xun's action was unconscious and instinctive, not intentional; Chujiu's personality was cold, so he certainly didn't take it seriously.

However, he woke up, and he was still a little shy after all.

Ji Xun figured it out and laughed at himself.

He didn't feel embarrassed in his heart, and the three of them didn't feel embarrassed to each other.

He just thought it was quite interesting.

As if thinking of some scene, Nan Jing didn't forget to add: "Hahaha, from childhood to adulthood, I have never seen sister Chujiu blushing."

"Hehe."

Ji Xun looked helplessly at the happy ball-headed lady, and felt inexplicably happy.

Maybe the succubus's secret technique still made the blood surge, so he looked at her more.

The ball-headed lady is now the high priest, and her dress also has the strict standards of the high priest lineage.

In the past, she liked to wear all kinds of dark Gothic-style skirts, which were playful, cute, youthful and beautiful;

The high priest wore a long robe of a court priest inherited from the Talen Dynasty.

It was called a robe, but it was actually a high-grade magic fabric with a black background and gold patterns. It was also a court dress that was elegant, majestic and solemn.

The aesthetics of the Talen Dynasty were unique.

The court costumes were the pinnacle of aesthetics that Ji Xun had seen.

This high priest robe was not only not conservative, but very sexy.

The fabric was full of drape, silky like satin, with a black pearl-like texture, and showed the golden thorn flower, a unique divine pattern of the high priest.

The neckline was deep V, and the slits on both sides of the skirt were very high, up to the hips, but covered by a hazy veil, and the slender legs were looming.

This skirt took into account the mysterious solemnity of the high priest profession, and confidently showed the beauty of the body.

(PS. The style is probably like this)

Nan Jing's figure is not as tall as Chujiu, but it is more curvy, especially her breasts are unusually developed.

The priest skirt is bulging when she wears it, and it is visibly full.

Originally, this kind of priest skirt is also matched with a shawl and a cape, and at least there is a shawl to cover the sexiness when outside. But because she is in the tent, she only wears the bottom skirt.

Nan Jing is not an outsider, and her posture is also very casual, and her beautiful figure is fully displayed.

Ji Xun took a closer look.

Nan Jing noticed it and instinctively asked: "Why are you staring at me?"

Perhaps she guessed something after the fact, and the ball-headed lady quickly found a way out for herself: "What do you think? I cut the skirt myself."

As she said, she generously showed the skirt.

Ji Xun understood it tacitly, and did not hide his eyes, and praised: "It looks good."

Nan Jing listened and laughed, "Thank you."

Laughing is laughing, and making noise is making noise.

Nan Jing checked Ji Xun's physical and mental state seriously, and reminded him with a worried look: "Ji Xun, your witch distortion has backfired very badly this time. The [Black Magic] gloves can no longer be used, otherwise it may really be impossible to suppress it."

"Yes."

Ji Xun nodded.

But he knew it was not that easy.

It stands to reason that he can only use the gloves for a short time with his current strength, but now he has gradually discovered that the [Black Magic], a relic of the emperor, has evil nature and can affect people unconsciously.

Just thinking about it, the succubus secret method running in his body stopped, and all the desires in Ji Xun's eyes faded in an instant.

Nan Jing, who was by the window, saw the whole scene. At this moment, there was no shyness, only unconcealed worry: "You"

It seemed that she wanted to say something, but hesitated.

She has been helping with the treatment these days, so of course she knows Ji Xun's condition.

And after inheriting the knowledge of the high priest lineage left by her mother, she knew that Ji Xun's distortion had reached a very dangerous level.

It can even be said that if she is not careful, Ji Xun's body will gradually turn into a witch due to distortion.

Unless Ji Xun wants to follow the witch path that Griffith has taken, he must suppress it.

"Yeah."

Ji Xun knew what Nan Jing wanted to say.

His situation was indeed quite bad.

However, a big problem with witch pollution is here, it will make your subconscious mind accept this change and gradually become less repulsive.

Just like now, as soon as the witch's secret method retreated, it seemed that no desire could be raised.

Ji Xun also frowned.

He knew very well that his distortion was more serious than ever before.

Thinking of this, he took out a gray-white photo.

This is the inheritance relic of the Drama God Clan that he got from Reni before - [Gray Mist Relics].

Nan Jing knew what he was thinking and didn't want to say much, but because of his worry, he couldn't help but remind him: "Although this relic can theoretically solve the witch's distortion, the consciousness stripping has great uncertainty. It is very likely to cause irreversible consequences. I am not sure."

"Yeah. I know."

Ji Xun responded.

Of course he knew the risks of consciousness stripping.

Emperor Lanlingster can strip safely, but it doesn't mean that others can.

The soul is like a castle made of sand on the beach. It is very difficult to remove part of it without letting the castle collapse.

Ji Xun looked at the photo in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said: "I want to see what the emperor left behind."

He had previously speculated that Emperor Lanlingster's witch distortion reversal might have used this relic.

If this guess is right, Ji Xun has a vague feeling that the emperor may have left something in this relic.

Reni had said before that he was the only person in the Xishen family who could use this [Gray Mist Relic] in the past few hundred years.

Because he was about to die, he boldly tried and tested many taboos of using this relic.

The consciousness fragments of most of the ancestors of the God of Play clan sealed in this photo are filled with violent negative energy, and it is easy for foreign consciousness to be contaminated.

It is like a pool of ink. It is almost impossible to enter without getting some ink stains.

Reni told Ji Xun about his experience in detail.

In general, in addition to blood, it is more important to have a strong soul and a firm mind.

Blood can make the consciousness of the ancestors of the God of Play clan not hurt you as much as possible.

And the strength of the soul is the only hard requirement for going deep.

After Ji Xun practiced the "My Heart is the Universe" secret cultivation method left by Emperor Lanlingster in the Dead Zone, he had enough powerful divine power to stabilize his soul, and his soul was already very stable.

At least several levels stronger than Reni.

He has deduced many times, and this basically meets the conditions for using the relic of safety.

Now his own distortion is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and the changes are very big. Ji Xun also wants to go in and take a look.

Ji Xun looked at Nan Jing's worried expression and explained the situation of this [Gray Mist Relic] and some of Reni's experience.

Nan Jing heard that he just wanted to go and take a look, so he didn't say anything else, just said: "Oh. Then I'll be here. If anything happens, I can still help you."

"Yeah."

Ji Xun nodded.

Having this high priest by his side is indeed the best protection.

There is no need to be so polite between partners.

After resting for a few days, he was a little confused when he just woke up, but his current state is actually very good.

Ji Xun meditated and adjusted his thoughts. After a while, he slowly tried to probe his mental power into the [Gray Fog Relic].

This ancient relic can strip the consciousness of Emperor Lanlingster, so it can be imagined that it is of the highest grade.

The moment he touched this relic, Ji Xun felt as if his soul was instantly pulled out of his body.

In a blink of an eye, he found that he had appeared in a gray, foggy world.

Because he had heard from Reni before, Ji Xun was not too surprised.

Instead, he carefully recalled the familiar feeling just now, and exclaimed in his heart: "How magical. Is this the feeling of the soul leaving the body after death?"

Because he had been on the edge of death many times, he was not unfamiliar with the feeling of the soul leaving.

But there was no time before that was as clear as just now.

It was so clear that Ji Xun felt that he was dead, and his body could not imprison his soul, and then he floated to the legendary underworld.

After all, the "fog" in this mysterious space was exactly the same as what he had seen in the underworld passage before.

Rennie had never been to the underworld, so he could not accurately describe this feeling.

However, Ji Xun pondered for a moment and figured it out in an instant: "Hehe, interesting. Is it because of these underworld fogs that consciousness can be preserved for a long time?"

Just coming in gave him a big refresh in cognition.

He was very curious about what kind of strong person could refine this kind of relic that seemed to "compress the world".

Before he could think about it, a gust of wind that made Ji Xun's soul tremble blew over, and at the same time as his back felt cold, a ferocious wolf-headed monster pounced out from the mist.

Ji Xun stared at it, and his divine power instantly spread, and the "wolf-headed monster" instantly collapsed.

This is the risk that Rennie said.

It was not a monster, but a fragment of consciousness.

There is a classic proverb in this world that if a person leaves his body, his soul will become a strange monster.

[Gray Fog Relic] There are a lot of such consciousness monsters in this relic.

They will instinctively pounce on all strange souls that enter their territory.

Although they were very powerful when they were alive, countless years have passed and their consciousness has long been worn out.

Just like the wolf-headed monster just now, it poses no threat to Ji Xun, who is now in his prime.

It collapsed, but it didn't die.

It's amazing that Ji Xun, in the wind of the monster's collapse, actually made people feel like watching a fragmented movie, "seeing" countless scenes.

That was the memory of a puppeteer before his death.

It's called "Danny", a genius of the God of Play family, who likes to study living monster puppets and living organ transplants the most, and eventually becomes deformed and crazy.

Ji Xun saw only fragmented scenes, but after seeing more fragments, he pieced together a roughly complete story.

In those consciousnesses, there is also a lot of Danny's knowledge before his death.

As long as you "look" carefully, you can see it.

This is the inheritance.

Even though Reni had told this situation in advance, Ji Xun couldn't help but marvel at it.

Those ancient nobles really have endless backgrounds.

Ji Xun didn't look at the fragments more.

First, he was not very interested in puppetry, and the other was that time here was very precious.

Every time you stay in this mysterious space, your soul will be worn away. The longer you stay, the more dangerous it is, or even stay here completely.

This is the warning passed down from generation to generation by the God of Play family.

Ji Xun had Reni's reminder, and a pocket watch appeared in his hand in a flash of thought.

With another thought, the second hand on the pocket watch started to move.

But in fact, this is the number that Ji Xun counted silently in his heart to measure time.

Multi-tasking is the basic ability of a puppeteer.

Only by knowing how long you have been here can you better assess the risk.

Reni said that the ancestral precepts of the God of Play family warn that it is safe to stay here for at least one hour.

But the premise is that your counting must be accurate enough.

You also need to be able to correctly identify the direction.

Ji Xun looked at the time on his pocket watch, and without hesitation, he strode into the fog.

No one knows how many monsters like the previous ones there are in this space.

But one thing is clear, they have their own territory.

After encountering one, a large area nearby is safe.

Ji Xun walked along like this, and encountered several monsters along the way, all of which were easily dealt with.

According to Reni, this world is a bit like a sphere. The deeper you go, the stronger the monsters.

He is just on the periphery.

Because that is enough for him.

There is a lot of puppet knowledge in the fragments of consciousness of those monsters.

Ji Xun is also a little interested, but the knowledge is too fragmented, so he didn't waste time collecting it.

Instead, he continued to go deeper.

Reni described in detail his experience of coming here countless times, and Ji Xun quickly determined his location.

Then he followed the information and walked all the way without any obstacles.

Ji Xun's soul is much stronger than Reni's.

After dispersing several aggressive monsters, the distance has exceeded the maximum distance that Reni came in to explore.

Originally, Ji Xun had not planned to explore this relic world in one go.

He thought that he would come a few more times later, get familiar with it, and then go deeper step by step.

However, the magical thing was that after walking for a while, he was surprised to find that the fog in front of him had dissipated, and he didn't know when he walked into a foggy city!

"Black Rose Tavern?"

Ji Xun looked at the sign in front of him and the orange gas street lamps that looked like ghost lights, and immediately realized that he seemed to have come to a tricky monster territory.

No!

The tavern was full of people, with a group of strange drinkers

Ji Xun thought that this might be a monster's lair.

However, when he saw this inexplicably appeared tavern, he not only did not have any fear, but his eyes were full of interest.

"Tsk tsk. Interesting."

Ji Xun glanced at his pocket watch and muttered to himself.

After a moment of decision, he knocked on the ground with his cane, and then stepped into the door of the tavern in front of him that looked like a fairy tale without hesitation.
