The Old Gods Are Whispering

  Chapter 77 Waking up after a deep sleep

  Late night ward.

  Gu Jianlin still didn't show any signs of waking up, and all the medical staff from the association couldn't come in.

  Tang Ling was still holding the iron sword, leaning on the sofa, about to fall asleep.

   Tuk Tuk.

  Chen Bojun knocked on the door: "Excuse me, may I come in?"

  Tang Ling raised her pupils, her slender and curled eyelashes moved the light, casting a shadow on her plain face.

   "You are here."

  She got up from the sofa and nodded slightly.

   It is a sign of respect.

   "Well, it's really good. I didn't expect to recover so quickly after using Ji Lei, and the injury healed? If there is no accident, you will be able to advance to the fourth level in a week, right?"

Chen Bojun showed admiring eyes, and praised: "Very well, since you are the descendant of Jianzhong, you naturally have your pride, so I don't need to say more. Twenty-two years old, fourth rank. You have great hopes, if you can , I still hope that you can win the title of the strongest Omega sequence in this generation."

   Tang Ling hummed and put the iron sword into the piano case: "Then I'll go."

  Chen Bojun looked at the comatose teenager on the hospital bed, and said with a smile, "Actually, I thought you had already left. I didn't expect you to stay here for such a long time without letting others in."

  Tang Ling was silent for a second, then said calmly, "It's because he helped me."

   "Originally, I didn't trust the people in the trial court very much."

  She suddenly said: "What happened tonight made my opinion of the association even more disappointing."

  Chen Bojun hummed: "Actually, who is not? Since the death of Guangming, everything has become different."

   "I understand, I just hope you can do something, at least change something."

  Tang Ling picked up the piano case, turned around and left: "By the way, help me tell him that I owe him a favor, and I will pay it back."

  As the door of the room was gently closed, silence seemed to spread like water.

  Chen Bojun thought for a while, and said with a smile: "This little girl is quite interesting, is it Jianzhong's secret weapon?"

  He came to the hospital bed, looked at the unconscious young man, and was filled with emotion.

"In a sense, this is our first face-to-face. You and your father look alike, but your personalities are very different. Your father is a good old man. I have known him for more than 20 years. Years, I haven't seen him show any aggressiveness. I thought that if he gave birth to a son, he would probably follow him."

  Chen Bojun sighed, and muttered: "I never thought that, you look like a good boy, but when you go crazy, you look like a madman. This is really following the old Mr. Huai's wishes, haha."

  He took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to the boy's lips.

   "This is dragon marrow fluid. One drop is a good thing. Ten years ago, Jing Ci snatched it from the ancient **** attendant of Buzhou Mountain, and almost angered that supreme being."

  Although it was dragon marrow fluid, it was like a drop of pure scarlet blood, slowly dripping into the boy's mouth.

  Gu Jianlin had a dream.

  In his dream, he saw the port of Heiyun Walled City, the fires burning everywhere, and the cries of people.

   In the burning flame.

  Wan Wan was kicked to the ground, Uncle Mu growled and wanted to hug him, but was trapped by chains.

  Fire light illuminated the poor father and daughter.

  The distance of a few meters is like an abyss of despair.

  Gu Jianlin was just watching, but he felt the sadness and anger firsthand. The storm deep in his heart roared down again, and it rolled backwards and pushed him into the abyss of memory, and the past surged in.

  At that moment, he seemed to have returned to that rainy night again. The huge truck roared from the opposite road. What was shocking was that there was no one in the cab, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

  Behind the truck was an overwhelming fog.

  In the mist, there is a hideous and terrifying ghost. It is a strange bird with nine heads.

  Nine heads danced wildly in the depths of the mist, and nine strange faces emerged.

  Gu Jianlin heard the familiar calling and the warmth from that generous embrace.

  Accompanied by the roar of the truck, the boy's world was smashed to pieces again.

pain.

   My whole body is in pain, the pain reaches the depths of my soul.

  The dreamland collapsed suddenly, Gu Jianlin opened his eyes, feeling lost.

"woke up?"

  Chen Bojun's voice rang from his ears.

  Gu Jianlin found himself lying in a luxurious intensive care unit, surrounded by precision instruments that he had never seen before. Various cables were connected to his body, and drips were hung on his hands.

   There was a tearing pain all over his body, as if his whole body was crushed, the pain was so sore.

  The burden of the deification of the ancients this time is really too great.

   Especially the use of ancient divine language.

  Now he finally understands that the results of his father's investigation are all correct. The power of the ancient gods is rejected in the real world, and once it is used forcibly, it will cause a great physical burden.

   Maybe, halfway through the fight, the enemy is not killed, and he collapses first.

  The so-called wearing a crown must bear its weight, although the description is not so appropriate, but it really means this.

   No wonder, in the face of the overwhelming power of the ancient gods, human beings have always been able to stick to the real world.

   Otherwise, human beings would have long since lost their game.

   "I really don't understand why you young people are working so hard."

  Chen Bojun sat next to him and said: "But sometimes I envy you, and you still have a passion."

  Gu Jianlin tilted his head slightly and glanced at the man.

  Familiar, ordinary face.

  Chen Bojun, Overlord Path, seventh-order destroying arrow, the person in charge of the Omega sequence.

   "How are Uncle Mu and Wan Wan?"

   Gu Jianlin asked softly.

Chen Bojun replied calmly: "Mu Feng is out of danger, but his physical condition is not very good, and he has been taking natural grass all year round. I don't know how long he can live. Wan Wan was just slapped, a little bit Concussion, nothing serious. The Nightmare Pendant your father left her suppressed her distortion."

  Gu Jianlin was slightly relieved.

   "Some people in the refuge have died."

A trace of sadness flashed in Chen Bojun's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Although Mu Feng survived, it doesn't mean he's fine. I won’t let it go, it’s a power game.”

He paused: "The only clean person here is Mu Feng's daughter, Wan Wan. Although she was also polluted, with the Nightmare Pendant that your father found for her, it successfully suppressed the spread and distortion of the pollution. Therefore What you see is no different from a normal person, she is very healthy, and she has not taken natural herbs."

  Gu Jianlin thought for a while: "That purple crystal pendant?"

Chen Bojun replied: "Yes, don't look at it. It's just a small thing. It was also snatched by your father from an ancient god. The so-called ancient gods are ancient gods below the ancestor level. The nightmare pendant is a treasure of many fallen people. The things you dream of, you can’t buy even if you have money, they are things that have a price but no market.”

  Gu Jianlin was silent for a second, no wonder Uncle Mu warned him not to rely too much on life perception.

  Extraordinary abilities are indeed not omnipotent.

  The little girl has not been in contact with him for a long time, but she did see some problems from the personality portrait.

   Either she is a fallen person, or she thinks of herself as a fallen person from the bottom of her heart.

   "It's just that the Nightmare Pendant will expire in three years. After that, she will either take natural grass, or transform into a monster. And she currently has no criminal record, so I can come forward to save her."

Chen Bojun said in a deep voice: "But there is a problem here. The reason why Mu Feng and the others are alive now is because of the protection and guarantee of Huaiyin, the king of green. However, once the court comes up with the exact facts about Mu Feng's crime evidence, then even Huaiyin, King of Green, will not protect him anymore."

  His expression became serious, and he said, "Meanwhile, neither will I."

  Gu Jianlin narrowed his eyes when he heard the words.

  Uncle Mu's condition is amnesia, he can't remember what happened when he fell.

   All I know is that the Association has sentenced him to mutilate his companions, defining him as a fallen person.

   It was only because many people did not believe that he did such a thing that they helped him hide.

  Uncle Mu himself also took natural grass to suppress the distortion.

   "Perhaps you don't know what the specific definition of a fallen person is, I can tell you."

Chen Bojun stared at the young man's face and said: "The so-called depravity means being polluted by the spirit of the ancient gods. The dark side deep in the heart is inspired and devours human nature. Such as you fought, Li Changzhi, John Berg, Hasegawa Shinichi, and the members of the gravedigger organization, do you think they are human?"

  Gu Jianlin shook his head: "No."

   "If Mu Feng really killed his companions back then, then he would be the same as these people. If the distortion is not serious, then taking a lot of natural grass can indeed restore some sanity."

  Chen Bojun emphasized: "But this cannot wash away his sins."

"Understood."

   Gu Jianlin said.

"So in the Ether Association, once the fallen who show aggressiveness must be killed. Originally, when the light was still alive, the commandments for the unclean were not so strict. Most people will be killed Seal the spirituality and send it to a resort or island, and someone will take care of them and monitor them."

  Chen Bojun said: "They will take natural grass regularly until the end of their lives."

   Gu Jianlin said: "It sounds like a prison with good conditions."

   "Almost, but it's better than dead."

Chen Bojun said quietly: "But since Rhine came to power, there is basically no difference between the unclean and the fallen. The reason why Mu Feng survived is because of our multi-faceted dealings. I hope your father can find evidence as soon as possible. , but we didn't expect that later..."

   Later, Gu Ci'an also had an accident.

  Gu Jianlin was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Is Rhine... very strong?"

  Chen Bojun rarely hesitated.

   "Very strong, very powerful. If your father doesn't waste too much time on the curse, accept Mr. Huai's suggestion and change his job to become a **** division, maybe you can overwhelm him. But you know, there is no if."

He scratched his head: "And this is not purely a matter of personal strength. Because he is a student of the head of the Aether Association, he holds the power of the entire human civilization in his hands. Do you know? Above the ninth level of demigods , there is another division, and that is natural disasters. People who can be named natural disasters are existences that can compete head-on with the ancient gods in the real world, and they are well-deserved pillars of mankind."

   "And Rhine holds the power to check and balance natural disasters."

  He pointed to the top of his head and said with emotion: "For example, the Scourge floating in the sky at this moment, a meteorite from the universe starry sky, is the hanging sword that binds the Calamity Blue King."

  Gu Jianlin pondered for a moment, then said softly: "So...you can't do anything, right?"

"Of course not, because the greatest enemy in the human world, the ancient gods, has not yet been resolved. Do you know? The reason why the ancient gods failed to invade reality is that they cannot exert their full strength in the real world and are limited everywhere. , Their own infighting is the main reason."

   "According to our research on the isolated copy of "Shan Hai Jing"...not the "Shan Hai Jing" you saw on the Internet, but the real "Shan Hai Jing" that records the history of wars between humans and the ancient gods, and found many clues."

Chen Bojun sighed: "For example, the invincible Venerable Candle Dragon sealed Venerable Bai Ze eight thousand years ago, forced Venerable Suzaku to sleep in Suzaku Shrine five thousand years ago, and killed Venerable Qilin more than two thousand years ago. Those who killed the ancestors of Kunpeng and Nine Tails more than a thousand years ago. Five hundred years ago, they swallowed the rebellious ancestors Yinglong and Panlong."

   These are all ancient gods without exception, there are supreme supremes, and there are ancestors who dominate one side.

  Just chanting their names, you can feel awe and oppression.

  Each name represents supreme power and a hidden history buried in the long river of time.

  However, without exception, they were either sealed or killed.

  Gu Jianlin once again truly felt the power of Venerable Zhulong.

  He didn't know whether he had to bear the karma after inheriting the power of Qilin.

   To be honest, he felt that he couldn't bear it.

   Venerable Candle Dragon is too scary.

   Not to mention the strength of his true self.

   Just look at it.

  The external records about the ancient gods are mostly fragmented and mixed with a large number of adapted myths and legends. It is reasonable to say that they are all speculations and are very unreliable.

  But even in those unreliable legends, Candle Dragon is regarded as the strongest.

   One can imagine how terrifying this kind of strength is.

   "This is all recorded in history, not my nonsense."

Chen Bojun said: "It is already very difficult for human beings to fight against the ancient gods. In places you don't know, there are many warriors on the ancient battlefields, guarding the peace of the real world. Do you think, in this situation, can we fight among ourselves? Can we challenge them?" Is there a war?"

  Gu Jianlin let out a long sigh of relief and understood.

   "Two hundred years ago, on a winter night, an internal fight broke out about human beings. At that time, a supreme being alive in this world took action and almost destroyed the entire association system."

  Chen Bojun said again: "If it wasn't for someone to turn the tide, the history of mankind would probably have ended. As for that person, he is also inextricably linked with you, and you will meet again soon."

  Gu Jianlin was taken aback.

   "Yes, it is the person you think of. It was in that battle that he established his reputation as the strongest."

  Chen Bojun smiled and said, "The king of green, Huaiyin."
