Gu Xu silently listened to the white-haired boy's story.
In his previous life, he often saw expressions in books such as "live as long as heaven," "exist with the world," and "live forever in people's hearts."
I didn’t expect that in the wild world, this could actually become a reality.
"This must be the highest realm of pursuing immortality!" He sighed in his heart.
However, Gu Xu knew very well that he was not the kind of practitioner who devoted himself to seeking the Tao. If not forced by fate, he just wanted to lie in the house and be a salted fish, enjoying life quietly with the people around him.
"If you lose your body and the ability to experience life, no matter how powerful you become, what's the point?" he couldn't help but think.
"Shallow! Narrow-minded!" Sensing his thoughts, the white-haired boy raised his voice slightly and mocked mercilessly, "Our monks set out on the road of spiritual practice to pursue the peak of power and the mystery of the avenue. If only Coveting comfort and enjoyment, what is the difference between humans and pigs?
"Hey, I never thought that my reincarnation would turn into a pig!"
Gu Xu continued to flip through Kongxuan Sanren's notes, ignoring his sharp ridicule.
"In less than a blink of an eye, you started thinking about Lu Shiyao again." At the same time, the white-haired boy continued to read Gu Xu's thoughts while teasing, "Oh, I finally know why you You care so much about your mortal body - you can't bear to leave your group of women."
"Shut up." Gu Xu said coldly.
This bastard talks so much lately that it’s really annoying. If he comes to the real world one day, Gu Xu will seal his mouth with glue.
A few seconds later, the white-haired boy suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter was so loud that it almost made Gu Xu's skull vibrate violently.
"Hahaha, I was teasing you just now. I didn't expect you to really believe it. In fact, I don't know exactly what it is like to cultivate to the ninth realm, but with the power of the ninth realm, I have to give myself How difficult is it to build a body?”
Gu Xu closed the book in front of him and gently rubbed his temples, which were so painful from the shock, with both hands.
He couldn't tell clearly how much of the white-haired boy's words were true and how false.
He glanced at the toddling Jinghong Pen Qi Ling in the king's tent, recalled the appearance of the snow girl when she melted and the last few flower notes she left behind, and once again devoted all his body and mind to the "Ming Zhao Forbidden Technique" in the deduction.
One sitting lasted three days and three nights.
When he raised his head again, his forehead was covered with sweat, his expression was a little haggard, but his eyes were brighter than ever before.
At this moment, his eyes penetrated the wooden wall of the king's tent and scanned all the living beings on the grassland.
Every human flesh and bone seemed to turn into nothingness in his sight.
Their true souls became bright or dark flames, swaying in the wind, like candle flames burning in the dark night.
"Whether human flesh and blood or the bodies of ghosts and monsters are just carriers of life," Gu Xu silently concluded in his heart, "Only the flame of the true spirit is the source of life for the creatures in the wilderness.
"If the fire of the true spirit is not extinguished, humans and ghosts can continue to reincarnate and transform into each other in the prison of the wilderness."
Gu Xu knew very well that relying on his own cultivation and understanding of the great road was not enough to see through phenomena and see through the essence of life. Even Kong Xuan Sanren, whose strength is close to that of the "Ghost King", cannot see the existence of the Fire of Life so clearly.
All this was thanks to the help of the white-haired boy.
Although the white-haired boy is mean-mouthed and likes to tease him verbally, he does have some real ability. In terms of his understanding of the Great Way of Heaven and Earth, among all the people Gu Xu has ever met, no one can compare to him.
With the help of the white-haired boy's insight and his own astonishing understanding, the "Ming Zhao Forbidden Technique" that Kong Xuan San was unable to demonstrate during his lifetime finally took shape in Gu Xu's hands.
However, looking at the paper in front of him that was filled with dense handwriting, Gu Xu didn't feel any joy in his heart. Instead, he frowned and felt more and more melancholy.
"Lu Shiyao's true spirit fire has been extinguished long ago," he thought. "Although the 'Ming Zhao Forbidden Technique' is mysterious, it can only transform her from a ghost back to a human, but it cannot bring her back to life.
"It's still too late after all."
Thinking of this, Gu Xu thought in his mind, and his true energy turned into bright flames, instantly burning the papers that had cost him many days and nights to ashes.
The white-haired boy narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to understand what Gu Xu was doing.
He knew that Gu Xu was a person who cherished time as much as his life, and almost never wasted time on things that had no results.
Did Gu Xu spend so many days studying the "Ming Zhao Forbidden Technique" really just to relieve Lu Shiyao of an obsession?
However, when he read Gu Xu's thoughts with curiosity, he found that Gu Xu had really been recalling his experience with Lu Shiyao all the time recently - from the case in Lu's murderous house to The meeting at the top of Yishan Mountain, the companionship across the wilderness, and the life-and-death battle with Kongxuan Sanren...
Especially the way Xue Nu burned her soul was replayed countless times in Gu Xu's mind.
So much so that the white-haired boy himself was almost infected by this sad and melancholy emotion.
"This boy is still a little young after all. He is still at an age where he can be trapped by love." After thinking over and over again, the white-haired boy came to this conclusion.
…………
After the research on the "Ming Zhao Forbidden Technique" began to bear fruit, Gu Xu planned to leave the Holy Mountain of the Grassland and continue on his way to Kunlun.
But after wearing the yellow robe and being forced to become the khan of the grassland, he could no longer come and leave as he pleased when he was walking alone. After all, according to the shamans, all the wolves are waiting for him to be their savior.
After thinking for a long time, his eyes fell on his neighbor, the unconscious former Khan Altan.
"If I can revive him, then I can temporarily throw the burden on him and then do my own thing," he thought. "I don't know anything about the specific affairs on the grassland, so it is better to leave it to someone who knows how to do it. .
“With the Wolf God as my backing, he doesn’t dare to do anything bad to me.
"After I come back from Kunlun, I just need to use the name of the Wolf God and the power of the grassland to deal with the Qi court."
But Gu Xu doesn't know medical skills.
The method he can think of at present is to use the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" to turn Altan into a ghost, and then use the "Ming Zhao Forbidden Technique" to turn him back.
The bodies of humans and ghosts are completely different.
Just like Lu Shiyao, who fell off a cliff and died, she didn't leave any wounds on her body after turning into a snow girl.
Injuries and injuries that belong to humans will no longer exist on ghosts.
"How certain do you think this attempt of mine will be successful?" He asked the white-haired boy in his mind.
"You are the one with the authority of 'Destiny'," the white-haired boy chuckled, "You actually want to ask me about probability?"
Gu Xu stopped talking.
He used a trace of spiritual thought to penetrate into Altan's sea of consciousness, intending to ask him for his own opinion——
Do you want to spend the rest of your life lying on the couch like a corpse, or do you want to take a little risk and once again have the opportunity to ride on horseback and fight on the battlefield?
