Gu Xu felt that his consciousness drifted to the underworld again.
He was standing in the center of the tall and majestic Yama Hall. There were several bookcases beside him, which were filled with densely packed books, some thin and some thick, all with seals.
He knew that these books were all "Books of Life and Death", recording the life stories of all living beings in the wild world.
Only by cultivating to the sixth realm and knocking on the Fengdu Gate can one escape from this destined fate.
"You're here again."
A voice exactly like his floated from the front.
Gu Xu raised his head and saw the white-haired boy with the same appearance as him, sitting lazily on the high platform with his legs crossed on the throne that originally belonged to the Lord of Hell.
He wears a white jade crown and a black brocade robe with dragon patterns. Although his expression is playful and uninhibited, he still cannot hide his innate nobility and majesty.
"After being beaten violently, did you come to me for help again when you were so pissed off?"
Gu Xu took a deep breath, looked at the white-haired boy, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Didn't I tell you before?" Hearing his question, the white-haired boy laughed and said, "I am you, the other you hidden deep in my soul!"
"In reality, you are always overly cautious, cowardly, hesitant, and trembling... unwilling to accept your own power, unwilling to admit your own desires, and always need to rely on the protection of women. Only when you are forced into a desperate situation , Only then are we willing to calm down and face the truest self.”
Gu Xu frowned: "Since you said that, I'll just take it as you."
"So this time, do you need my help?" The white-haired boy put his chin on his hand, rested his elbow on his knees, and lowered his head to look at him.
His tone was full of temptation, like a devil encouraging humans to sign a contract.
"How can you help me?" Gu Xu asked, "Even if you give me the remaining two powers in advance, I don't think I can defeat two strong saints."
"Oh, you think too much. Your realm is too low to bear those two powers." The white-haired boy chuckled and shook his head, "What I want to say is, you lend me your body." Yes, I will help you deal with the enemy.
"Your best friend fought fiercely with them for you. Do you have the heart to lie in her arms like a dead corpse and be a burden to her?"
"No," Gu Xu shook his head without thinking, "Also, Xue Nu is not my lover. The relationship between us is just a transaction."
"I guess you would say that." The white-haired boy still had a smile on his face. Gu Xu's decisive refusal didn't seem to affect his mood at all.
There was a long silence.
In a daze, he heard the sound of snow falling in the distance.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to hear this extremely soft sound - but it drifted into his ears clearly.
He knew that he should leave here immediately, go to that distant place, and participate in the battle that belonged to him.
But he just felt like his body was filled with lead, heavy and stiff, making it difficult to move.
I don't know how much time passed, but the white-haired boy sighed leisurely: "Well, your female ghost friend seems to have suddenly exploded. She has beaten back all the enemies, and I don't need your help anymore."
"Do you know the meaning of the word 'explosion'?" Gu Xu asked.
"Of course I know," the white-haired boy said with the corners of his mouth raised, "You are me, I am you, of course I know everything you know.
“I also know that you have a soft spot for animals like dogs.
"Others have names for themselves, such as 'Laity So-and-so' and 'Mr. So-and-so'.
"You named yourself a 'single dog', a 'technical dog', a 'postgraduate dog'... Haha, if the dogs in this world knew that you were willing to give them this honor, they would be flattered.
"Also, the thing you regret most is that you didn't clear the search history in your computer browser before you came to this world——"
"——Don't mention these." Gu Xu interrupted him.
"Hahahaha." The white-haired boy laughed loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Amid his laughter, Gu Xu's vision suddenly became blurred.
The tall and majestic Yama Palace seemed to begin to rotate rapidly, and everything in front of it turned into colorful blocks like a kaleidoscope.
He felt dizzy and his head hurt.
After a long time, he finally opened his eyes with difficulty and returned to the real world.
He found himself lying in a cave.
The cave is dark and cool, and accompanied by the gentle sound of running water, it feels like a country of the dead. Only at the entrance of the cave, a ray of golden sunlight quietly slipped in, adding a bit of bright color to this dim place.
The Jinghong pen and astrolabe lay quietly beside his head.
He thought of the battle in the sky.
The last image in his memory was the Zen staff flying straight towards him.
Logically speaking, Master Jueming's Zen staff was enough to crush his skull, smash his brain, and annihilate his soul.
But now he is unscathed.
In addition to his head being a little dizzy, he felt very uncomfortable.
He slowly sat up and looked down at his wrist.
The familiar black jade bracelet has long disappeared.
"It turns out to be the 'substitute bracelet'." He thought to himself secretly.
But the question is, what happened after he fell into coma?
Is Yuki-onna okay?
Why is he lying in this cave?
Are the saints of the Daqi Dynasty still sparing no effort to hunt him down?
With doubts, he put the magic weapon into "Xianyunju", then stood up slowly, holding the rock beside him.
He let go of his consciousness and sensed the things around him, and the dim cave became clear in his field of vision.
In the deepest part of the cave, farthest from him, he found the snow girl.
She sat curled up in a narrow corner, her hands folded around her calves and her face buried between her knees.
Her waist-length hair was no longer as black as crow feathers, but as silvery as ice and snow, like brand new white satin, shining with a faint light.
As we all know, the snow girl who masters the road of ice and snow is never afraid of the cold.
But at this moment, this slender and beautiful silver-haired girl was shivering unconsciously in the corner, like a cat that was thrown out of the house by its owner in the cold winter.
"Master, you...don't come here..."
As if she smelled Gu Xu's breath, she said in a weak and trembling voice.
Only then did Gu Xu realize that the snow girl's white and slender hands were pinching her legs hard - she was restraining her urge to hunt in this awkward posture.
As long as she relaxes a little, she will be driven by instinct, like a cheetah catching an antelope, jump up, throw him to the ground, taste his soul and drink his blood, and eat him clean.
After hearing her words, Gu Xu immediately took a few steps back.
Her state at the moment is very unstable. He didn't dare to stimulate her easily.
