The shaman's words and her respectful and polite attitude towards Gu Xu made everyone present extremely surprised.
In the minds of the grassland people, shamans are the most noble beings under the wolf god. They sit high on the holy mountain, call the wind and rain, and overlook all living things in the world.
But today, the respected shaman would actually use the title "Sir" to an outsider.
But that's not the strangest thing.
What surprised them most was that the great Wolf God would personally extend an invitation to a mortal in such a clear and unequivocal manner.
Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Gu Xu.
Gu Xu could feel the confusion, confusion, and even jealousy in their eyes.
He could also hear a chuckle from the white-haired boy in his mind.
So he nodded towards the white-haired old woman and walked straight towards the light curtain.
This golden light curtain seems to be a thick wall without substance, completely dividing the open space under the giant wolf statue into two - after stepping into the light curtain, all the sounds of wind, people, and swaying grass and trees are blocked. Blocked, neither inside nor outside can see each other.
Gu Xu stopped, curious about what the wolf god of the grassland wanted to do to him.
But at this moment, the white-haired boy suddenly transformed into a translucent shadow floating in mid-air beside him.
This was the first time that the white-haired boy left his sea of consciousness and appeared in reality.
"Yuanbao, do you still remember me?" The white-haired boy smiled and waved gently towards the giant wolf statue.
As soon as he finished speaking, the tall, mighty, and awe-inspiring giant wolf phantom instantly shrank several times, turning into the size of an ordinary domestic dog. It flashed to the side of the white-haired boy, and first rubbed against the white-haired boy's legs. Rubbing and rubbing, then he stuck out his tongue and licked the white-haired boy's fingertips affectionately.
Seeing this scene, Gu Xu couldn't help but be stunned.
This wolf god worshiped by the grassland people, does he still look like a "wolf" or a "god" at this moment? He is clearly a khaki wolfdog who likes to cling to his owner, and he also has a name that is so unflattering.
If those fanatical believers outside the light curtain witnessed such a scene, their faith would collapse in an instant and their blood would surge!
Seemingly seeing the surprised expression on Gu Xu's face, the white-haired boy turned his head and smiled at him: "I'm sorry, I didn't describe it to you correctly before. Yuan Bao is not a human being. Maybe we can't call it an acquaintance." '. It would be more appropriate to introduce him as 'my former comrade-in-arms'."
"Wolf God", or in other words, wolf dog "Yuanbao", is obviously very satisfied with the new name given to it by the white-haired boy.
It wagged its tail happily and licked the white-haired boy's hand more vigorously.
Gu Xu was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Your 'comrade'... seems to be very proficient in the use of the power of incense..."
Although "Yuanbao" is just a wolf dog, its ability to collect and use the power of faith is much better than Gu Xu.
As the "God of Fire" believed in in the north, Gu Xu can only convert the power of faith into true energy for fighting.
This wolf dog, however, came up with a bunch of rituals and teachings of his own. He used sacrifices, blessings, edicts, divine descendants and other tricks to pretend to be gods and ghosts, and deceived the believers one by one.
"This is normal," the white-haired boy responded, "It has been staying with me before. It naturally learned a little bit of what I knew.
"But I have to say that it is much smarter than ordinary wolf dogs. When it left me, it was just a dying soul, and could only linger in the prison of the wilderness. I didn't expect that it could actually use the power of incense. , possessing the strength that we have today.”
Having said this, the white-haired boy paused and looked down at the wolfdog acting coquettishly at his feet: "Yuanbao, do you want me to take you away?"
The wolf-dog showed an excited expression, nodding and wagging its tail.
"Then these believers outside the light curtain...don't you want them anymore?"
The wolfdog continued to nod and rubbed against the white-haired boy more vigorously, showing his loyalty to him.
It seems that for it, being with its owner is the most important thing, and everything else is just a cloud.
"But I need you to stay here." The white-haired boy suppressed his smile and said solemnly.
The wolfdog snorted and lowered his head in disappointment.
"Are you unhappy?"
"Woof."
"Don't be sad," the white-haired boy reached out and rubbed its head. "I let you stay here, not because I don't want you, but because I trust you. These people on the grassland are crucial to our future great cause. , I need you to help stabilize them."
"Woof woof."
"Are you asking me where I plan to go? I'm going to Kunlun to get back the power I once had. After I finish this, I will come back here to find you."
"Woof~"
"I can handle this myself, I don't need your help. If you go, you will only hinder me and cause me trouble."
"Woof woof woof!"
"Be good and obey."
"..."
After chatting with the wolf dog for a long time, the white-haired boy returned to Gu Xu's conscious world. The soul of the wolf dog also returned to the giant statue and turned back into a god worshiped by all the people on the grassland.
When he was about to leave the light curtain, Gu Xu asked the white-haired boy coldly: "What is the relationship between the two of us? You claim to be another me, but why do you know all my memories, but I know nothing about your past?" Don’t know anything?”
"Perhaps now is the time to tell you more of the truth," the white-haired boy pondered for a moment, then smiled softly, "To be precise, I am a ray of obsession left behind by your previous life."
"Obsession from the past life?" Gu Xu frowned slightly.
"Do you really think that Emperor Ziwei is a very generous person and would let a person who has no connection with him inherit all his power and career?" The white-haired boy gave him a meaningful look, "Think about it carefully. , when he wants to find a successor for himself, will there be a more reliable candidate in this world than his own reincarnation?"
Gu Xu thought for a while and felt that what the white-haired boy said did make some sense.
"But if you have read my memories, it should be very clear that I lived in another world in my previous life, and there is no way I am the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei..."
"You think too simply of a powerful man whose cultivation is infinitely close to the ninth level," the white-haired boy interrupted, "Can't he send a few strands of his soul to another world and practice in the world of mortals? , to find the way to the realm of 'Guixu'?
"And when you come to the wilderness, you are not 'travelling' as you thought, but you are 'awakening' through experience."
"Awakening from experience..." Gu Xu silently repeated his words in his heart.
These words somewhat subverted his previous understanding and made him feel a little dazed for a moment.
